[01:30] mentalidub: that was the nubish remark I have ever heard [01:31] KinPumpkinKing: not exactly sure, normaly things come with a readme, you should check for that, if not try using updatedb and locate or find [01:31] what ? [01:31] mohaa has a native linux client? [01:31] yep [01:31] but when i quit it crashes [01:31] i dont know why [01:31] well if it crashes after you quit.. whats the problem. :) [01:31] that i have to restart the X server [01:32] mentalidub: if it crashes have you tried pressing ctrl+alt+backspace? it always forces ubuntu to resume shutting down when the problem happens for me. [01:32] has anyone here used QDVDAuthor before ?

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 [01:45] hello there... still somebody awake? [01:46] yes [01:46] havin a problem with scsi devices in xubuntu === ibblu is now known as ibb [01:46] What's an F-Spot alternative? I can't stand it. [01:46] scguy318: Well for this particularl case, I could use kernel 2.6.24-rc1 or later. But I can't see kernel versions later than 2.6.22. Do Ubuntu users just work a few versions behind, or is there a way for me to test 'unstable' packages? [01:47] is have an scsi streamer an a scsi cdrw drive. works correct in any live distri, but doesnt work out-of-the box in ubuntu. what can i do? [01:47] radiomark: stable Ubuntu is 6 months behind except for security updates, really [01:47] radiomark: you could consider an upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy, thats the current development version [01:47] !scsi [01:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about scsi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:47] bad. [01:47] radiomark: it's the bleding edge [01:47] radiomark: you may want to ask in #ubuntu+1, since I wouldn't know how [01:48] *bleeding [01:48] radiomark, scguy318: it's not necessary to fully upgrade to hardy just to get the alsa packages [01:49] how easy is it to totally erase flash memory vs. a HDD (and likewise, how difficult to recover the data)? [01:49] SpookyET, there's digikam a kde app. and there's also like google picasaa [01:49] radiomark: check out "prevu" in order to get the hardy source and compile it. [01:49] in germany (here) its quarter to three in the morning.. would anyone tell me his time? [01:49] and probably a lot more === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:49] wweasel: ah, thanks for the info [01:50] scguy318: My sound card wasn't supported under Feisty. prevu'd gutsy :P [01:50] china 10:00 [01:50] oh well.. [01:50] thats nice, [01:50] someone else? [01:50] heihei [01:50] cleaton: I find browsing my pictures hard with it [01:50] wols: are you still there? [01:50] his ought to be a channel from nearly every place in the world =) [01:50] wweasel: Okay, I need to read on prevu. But that sounds like quite a manual and involved process? [01:51] SpookyET, with f-spot? i just use the filebrowser to brows my pictures [01:51] damaltor: current time? 12/15/07 7:50:23 PM Central Standard Time [01:51] hi guys , i want to backup my ubuntu to external hard drive which is on /media/ED_mini location. How do i gzip /home/ and /etc and redirect all to /media/ED_mini location? [01:51] SpookyET, don't like any of those photomanager thingies [01:51] hi all! [01:51] scguy318: thx... i think i ought to get in bed... but [01:51] cleaton: i liked the vista one [01:51] havin a problem with scsi devices in xubuntu [01:51] SpookyET, webalbums are nice though [01:51] is have an scsi streamer an a scsi cdrw drive. works correct in any live distri, but doesnt work out-of-the box in ubuntu. what can i do? [01:52] i need a litle help, my /dev/video0 just desapear, how do i fix it? [01:52] radiomark: The idea of prevu is that it automates the process of backporting from bleeding edge source [01:52] radiomark: It's not too hard. [01:52] But may I ask what sound card Gutsy doesn't support? [01:52] tuga3d, are you sure it's connected to your comp? [01:53] i installed phpmysql, but i don't know how to start it [01:53] tuga3d, what was it? a usb webcam? [01:53] cleaton, yes [01:53] corevette: isnt that a frontend for working w/ the sql databases? [01:53] cleaton, gspda [01:53] wweasel: So maybe I got the wrong end of the stick with Ubuntu, but I thought that I would be able to keep my system up to date using pre-compiled packages that were available? Or is that not the case. Do I just install a 'release' and get a slow trickle of the more essential updates? [01:53] damaltor: so what is it [01:53] tuga3d, write lsusb in the console and see if you can find it [01:54] damaltor: how do you use it [01:54] corevette: are u german? [01:54] does anyone here have an eee? [01:54] damaltor: english [01:54] cleaton, nop [01:54] radiomark: Well, I find it surprising that Gutsy, the latest version, does not support your sound card. What card is it? [01:54] Neodudeman: no. but i can tell you that ubuntu works on it =) [01:54] going to unplug and plug again [01:54] corevette: extract it into /var/www/name_of_your_choice [01:55] wweasel: Well I have a couple of cards which require code only in ALSA 10.0.15 -- a Scratchamp and a Rane SL-1 [01:55] cleaton, it worked :) thanks [01:55] damaltor: so what if i installed it via synaptic, whats the poitn? [01:55] then open in a webbrowser [ip_of_server]/[name_you_choosen_before] [01:55] Hi [01:55] hi ,my kde is crashed,this is the error messages in /root/.XSESSIONS,startkde: Starting up... [01:55] /usr/bin/kdeinit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: art_free [01:55] startkde: Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation [01:55] tuga3d, np =) [01:55] cleaton, i think is my usb port :) thanks again [01:55] so what does that mean [01:55] damaltor: lol, i kno. thats the second thing i would do if i got an eee. [01:56] corevette: good question. i have no idea if im honest... try looking into /var/www if there is a new dir [01:56] radiomark: "keep my system up to date using pre-compiled packages" is a dubious notion. What would this mean? The idea of a release is to take a set of packages and make it stable. Ubuntu keeps a very rigorous release cycle. [01:56] Neodudeman: so what do u want to know? friend of mine has one [01:56] hi guys , i want to backup my ubuntu to external hard drive which is on /media/ED_mini location. How do i gzip /home/ and /etc and redirect all to /media/ED_mini location? [01:56] tuga3d, nah usb webcams can be like that, i've had the same problem [01:56] i need to set the resoluion that ubuntu uses while starting before the login screen. it starts at a res higher than my lcd can display but the login screen is the native res i need 1024x768 [01:56] anyone done port forwarding with iptables before? [01:56] damaltor: more importantly, how do i delete all my current existing databse entries [01:56] cleaton, one more question, my webcam image is too dark, do you know how to fix it? [01:57] radiomark: The issue here is that you need a bleeding edge version of ALSA. It's *really* new. But the person who was helping you before was wrong: it's really not necessary for you to upgrade to the Hardy unstable. In fact, I really don't recommend it. [01:57] corevette: hm... dont know. usually i use phpmyadmin wich is only a .tar.gzip wich has to be extracted into /var/www ans then can be uses via webserver [01:57] tuga3d, i also have that, and i really haven't found a solution for that. the way v4l seems to work is that the different programs that uses the webcam should have brightness settings. and the onlyone i know with good webcam settings is AMSN [01:58] damaltor: aww man, too cool. I thought I read something about an ubuntu modified to work specifically for the eee. Is that true, or was that my imagination? [01:58] oh... had a bit too much alcohol i think.. my writing is bad. but the thing ought to work thogh [01:58] i think you can change brightness with v4l somehow but i don't know how to save it :( [01:58] radiomark: What we need to do for you is to install ALSA x.x.x.15 in Gutsy [01:58] Neodudeman, i als heard ubuntu works on EEEPC so you should be good [01:58] cleaton, ok. thanks going to google it [01:58] wweasel: Okay well I am used to Slackware, where I would just pinch a later package/kernel from '-current' and use that. [01:59] radiomark: I suppose that's the equivalent of Debian Unstable? (i don't know Slackware) [01:59] Neodudeman: well.. that friend installed ubuntu and tried to use compiz-fusion wich worced perfectly... slow cpu, but nice graphics card makes it work. try xubuntu or install ubuntu and then a window manager of ur choice [01:59] wweasel: Yes, I think it might be [01:59] wweasel: I believe that's the case [01:59] wweasel: Is there an equivalent for Ubuntu? [01:59] soldats: ya, that's what I heard. lol, i like ur name. do you knife or chainsaw, soldats? [01:59] is there a edgy specific help channel? [02:00] batma8: don't think so [02:00] corevette: try this: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php [02:00] batma8: you can ask your question here [02:00] Neodudeman, knif or chainsaw? [02:00] wweasel: I guess this is the 'herdy' that you speak of? [02:00] damaltor: what are his thoughts about the keyboard and screen? [02:00] alright thanks damaltor [02:00] soldats: oh, nvm. lol. [02:00] radiomark: No, Ubuntu development process actually takes a snapshot of Debian Unstable, and processes it into a stable release over the 6 month release cycle. [02:00] How could I own my ext2 usb-flash? Can't copy files to it. [02:01] im havin some problems in edgy with beryl, beryl runs great..but all my other gl stuff runs super choppy, etc screensavers n such. i cant upgrade to other ubuntu's becuse my nvidia card fails in fawny and gutsy [02:01] Neodudeman, no realy i kinda wanna know what you mean now [02:01] n_o_O_b: chmod -R 777 /mnt/point [02:01] radiomark: Gutsy, the current release, 7.10, came out a little over a month ago. Hardy is in its infancy and I disagree with scguy that you should use it. [02:01] n_o_O_b: prefix with sudo if needs be [02:01] Neodudeman: keyboard: small, but useable. screen: to small to play (he has the 10" version) but enough for working a few hors... not for the whole day but (he is a university student) does the job in class [02:01] hey, what's a good app with m4a to mp3 conversion? [02:01] kmg: ffmpeg [02:01] radiomark: Interspersed with my discussion of release cycles, I've been trying to get to my suggestion :P Have you compiled anything before? [02:02] wweasel: what do you suggest? I only suggested Hardy because it's the option I'm aware of [02:02] wweasel: Okay I understand a little more. Does this mean that the equivalent of me stealing from '-current' is to run the risk and take from Debian unstable? [02:02] damaltor: oh man, that's exactly what I need [02:02] scguy318: thx [02:02] wweasel: I'm quite familiar with compiling from source thanks, I just thought that using Ubuntu was meant to automate a lot of this process for me === YanchoAWY is now known as Yancho [02:03] anyone know how I can change the backgrounds on each desktop? [02:03] Neodudeman: as far as i tried the keyboard has a good "feeling" ehile typing.. dunno how to say that right now. but feels good. good point-of-pressure ("druckpunkt" is the german word, you feel exactlyy ewhen a key is pressed) and just big enough to use it in a somehow normal way without having to look all the time... though it takes a ehile to get to know it [02:04] radiomark: Sorry, didn't mean to offend! Yeah, it automates a lot of it. Still, it can't work magic. ALSA 1.0.15 was released after the Ubuntu release, or at least after the package freeze. [02:04] captmorgan: i was wondering that too...if you could have multiple wallpapers for each workspace [02:04] c.abjects.net [02:04] scguy318, it may sounds noobie, but "chmod -R 777 /mnt/point" doesn't work, gives me "No such file or directory" [02:04] Yopu: pretty sure you can [02:04] soldats: oh. well, I feel like an idiot now. lol. I thought your name was referring to the 2d shoot-em-up game called "soldat" in which you had a standard array of weapons and secondary weapons, among which include the knife and chainsaw. It's a relatively big debate among players whether to use the chainsaw or the knife; but I guess your name is based of the actual word 'soldat' which is soldier in german and dutch [02:04] n_o_O_b: change /mnt/point to the actual mnt point of the device? [02:04] just need to figure it out [02:05] \q [02:05] radiomark: You won't often find yourself compiling anything from source. But, in this case you'd be best off compiling Alsa from source [02:05] wweasel: No, no offence at all! I guess I'm hoping to be able to select individual binaries from an 'ubuntu unstable', but I see that's not really how it works [02:05] Neodudeman: but this is usual with all notebooks, takes a while to know where the special keys are and to know how far the keys are away from each other. small, nothing to use all the day, but great for class because very small. the battery doesnt run too long, but is enough for a few hours [02:05] Neodudeman, naw, buts its also a french word meaning the same thing, but it interests me to know what the game is called. i might want to check it out [02:05] Neodudeman: if you are good in german reading, i have a great test [02:05] I have two gaming boxes and one speaker system, can I set up one of the boxes as an audio server and mix the audio from the other gaming pc into it/out to speakers? [02:05] damaltor: that sounds reasonable, but I read you mention something about cpu? [02:06] damaltor: lol, no, i'm not [02:06] Hmm. I have a Dell Inspiron 1420N, and it came with Feisty preinstalled. It works pretty nicely. In fact, I wouldn't bother upgrading, except ... well, it's kind of silly, actually. I like gedit, and there's a bug in the plugins. It might be easier for me to track the bug down than upgrade... but! [02:06] Yopu: I found this link, it just is not detailed anough for myselh http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=641087 [02:06] soldats: http://www.soldat.pl/screens.html here are some screenies. The game looks minimalist, but I guarantee, it's incredible [02:06] awesome thx [02:06] When I upgrade, the sound gets a little flaky. What are the odds that I could pin, say, the kernel and sound stuff, and upgrade? [02:06] can someone help me use compiz? [02:06] radiomark: Nope, not really any equivalent to that. Prevu is the closest thing, which automates the process of taking the deb-src (Ubuntu's modified source) from the equivalent of 'ubuntu unstable', compiling and installing it in your current environment. [02:07] Neodudeman: oh, ok.. cpu is enough tu work. but nothing more. o/office takes a while to load, but then works good [02:07] hey all, ive been working on compiz settings alot today and now it wont let me enable some of the settings like cube reflection [02:07] DareFace whats your ? [02:07] ugh, soundkonverter can only decode mod mid and wav files for some reason... [02:07] DareFace, ask in #compiz-fusion [02:07] pelo thanks [02:07] j #compiz-fusion [02:07] wweasel: Okay, that's a shame because it's not quite the time-saver I was hoping for. I guess I expected that releases would be available as packages for the system, and slowly work their way into being 'stable' [02:07] DareFace, /join ... [02:07] damaltor; did he get the 4gb, 512 version? and did he do any hardware mods? [02:07] radiomark: Is that how it works in Slackware? [02:08] wweasel: so I figured I'd be able to get a package for ALSA 10.0.15 because it's a release, but not the latest dev version [02:08] thnx [02:08] Neodudeman: yes, think so.. but no mods at all. he is a common user [02:08] wweasel: Well in Slackware, I just take packages from -current, and install them on this system [02:08] radiomark: you might possibly be able to manually d/l the debs for ALSA and install, but that's probably problematic [02:08] wweasel: Sometimes it breaks stuff (eg. compiled against different library versions) so maybe I have some dependencies to update too. But it largely works. [02:08] Neodudeman: not a modder [02:09] hola [02:09] scguy318, I've tried "chmod -R 777 /media/disk-1", which is mount point for me. It gave me "chmod: changing permissions of `/media/disk-1': Operation not permitted [02:09] chmod: changing permissions of `/media/disk-1/lost+found': Operation not permitted [02:09] chmod: `/media/disk-1/lost+found': Permission denied" [02:09] scguy318: Sounds like it might be problematic, as I suspect the kernels might be quite different? I don't know much about Ubuntu or Debian though [02:09] damaltor: off the top of your head, do you know what the wireless card he uses is? i'll just google it if you don't know [02:09] Still no luck in copying my file [02:09] why would gl screensavers not work ONLY when beryl is running [02:09] n_o_O_b, , use sudo [02:10] n_o_O_b: why not just do sudo cp /path/to/source /path/to/dest? [02:10] radiomark: Ok, so it's the equivalent of taking the deb from the development version of Ubuntu. [02:10] radiomark: Check out 'prevu' [02:10] wweasel: I'm trying prevu now, although not having much luck! [02:10] Pelo, sudo made no difference, I've tried [02:10] batma8, probably because gl screensaver needs a compoziting engine [02:10] Neodudeman: i have no idea.. me for myself, im using a netgear ma521 wich works great... but the computerim using atm is a fujitsu subnotebook, 600 mhz (!) witch xubuntu feisty on it [02:10] n_o_O_b, why do you want to mess in the lost+found folder anyway ? [02:11] Pelo, screensavers work great UNTIL beryl is running [02:11] how do i fix that [02:11] wweasel: I think because it looks like Ubuntu doesn't actually have an ALSA package for the drivers -- they come as part of the kernel [02:11] damaltor: alright, cool, thanks. i appreciate the info [02:11] batma8, my mistake , try asking in #compiz-fusion [02:11] sweet, thanks man [02:11] Pelo: because he was doing chmod -R 777 ..., I didn't realize he had an ext partition [02:11] radiomark: It does have an alsa package: alsa-base. But Alsa is a kernel module as well, you're right. that's the case with all distros, not just ubuntu [02:12] what controls resolution in the latest ubuntu? in the past the xorg.conf file would have resolution entries, now you can leave them out and something will autoguess the resolution possibilities for a particular monitor. anyone know? [02:12] wweasel: in which case, I'd need kernel 2.6.44-rc1 or later [02:12] Pelo, I don't want to, just need to copy some stuff on drive. Can't. [02:12] scguy318, oookkk [02:12] Neodudeman: np... its just what it is said: a small thing to work. nothing else. only bad thing ist the battery eich is not that good... but enough. [02:12] holycow: still xorg.conf [02:12] n_o_O_b, sudo nautilus /path [02:12] holycow, thjers a way that X can also query the monitor for what res's it can handle. [02:12] how do i use rsync so that when it moves a file from source to destination, it deletes the source file? [02:12] I'll try sudo cp now [02:12] n_o_O_b: unmount, chmod your mountpoint, remount [02:12] Neodudeman: on my 5 year old subnotebook here i get about 10 hours with two bats in it. the eee will not reach there but enough though [02:13] radiomark: Well, I wouldn't backport the kernel. Your best bet in this case is compiling alsa from source. [02:13] ah so x now does this automatically neat. then kde and gnome just talk to x and fill up ther resolution change apps with whatever x tells them is possible? [02:13] radiomark: But I suppose it's also worth considering whether Ubuntu is the right distro for you [02:13] holycow: X has always been able to auto-detect I believe [02:13] holycow, pretty much [02:13] radiomark: that kernel does not exist [02:13] holycow: if you start X without an xorg.conf it tries to guess and detect defaults [02:13] damaltor: lol, throwing in the german words i see. how long did you say the battery lasted again? [02:14] wweasel: Compiling ALSA from source certainly does work [02:14] radiomark: If you are frequently finding yourself in need of things more quickly than a 6 mo. release cycle provides, you might be best off running Debian Unstable (sid) or Debian Testing (lenny) [02:15] wweasel: Ubuntu definitely isn't the distribution for me for many of the reasons you've seen :) The reason I am looking at it closely is as a platform for distributing to users with a piece of software (which requires ALSA 10.0.15) [02:15] if i am installing wireless lan card (pci) do i require firmware need to be configure /install [02:15] damaltor: oh, nvm, you answered the question. I just forgot to scroll down. lol. ok, thanks again [02:15] dell_lin: depends on the chip, but most likely yes [02:15] Can anyone suggest a good/reliable/free, automated backup application for ubuntu? [02:15] i have tried everything to get my rt2500-based wireless working well in gutsy, but it is starting to look hopeless. i have blacklisted the crap gutsy rt2500pci driver, and have compiled the serialmonkey rt2500 driver... this has helped have a more stable connection to my WEP-protected home-network, but i am having an even worse time connecting to totally unencrypted public networks, usually being unable to connect at all. does anyone [02:15] have a suggestion? [02:15] Neodudeman: think the best was something about 5 hours... sorry i'm a bit drunk so my german gets through... =) it is very dependen of what u are doing, how bright the display is set, how hard u use the cpu and so on [02:16] dlink 510 ralink 61 [02:16] Pir8: radiomark: Well, what most people would do in this case is compile the bleeding edge I'd recommend that you compile ALSA 1.0.15 from source. [02:16] Pir8: Sorry, pasted the wrong thing [02:16] lllno worries :) [02:16] sorry for my long post [02:16] What is the name of the package for development manpages? [02:16] Pir8: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbackup/ this is what i meant to send you :D [02:16] wweasel, thanks mate. [02:16] what is generally accepted as the best gui utility for gnutella? [02:16] I shall do some reading :) [02:16] anyone know how i get !list command to work on free node [02:16] Pir8: That would be a graphical utility. Personally, I use rsync + cron (command line utilities) === Yancho is now known as My-Linx [02:17] Is it normal for Xorg to use ~15% of 2GB RAM? [02:17] silent_, nicotine, frostwire are well liked [02:17] wweasel, my plan is to backup files to external HD === My-Linx is now known as Yancho [02:17] with pidgen dose it work like old fashion mirc [02:17] hopefully in the next little while, I can have a SAN server up. [02:17] Pelo: I'm installing qtella.. but I have to use makefiles... would you advise using only packages or are these install procedures alright? [02:18] Pir8: Well, you could use sbackup for that. [02:18] Sweet, thanks again mate. [02:18] Pir8: np :) [02:18] wweasel: Okay I will carry on compiling from source for now then. I look forward to being able to avoid this step tho. Thanks for all the help [02:18] Neodudeman: hope i helped you... that friend only uses the eee in class, and at home he usually copies everything on his normal pc cause thats easier =) [02:18] /join #winehq [02:19] Pelo: I'm looking for native binaries for whatever utility I use... I'm not a big fan of java [02:19] silent_, the way it works is that repos packages are the easiest to deal with since they have been made for and tested, deb packages are the next easiest, and last you have compiling from source with works in all linux distro [02:19] radiomark: No problem. I know how annoying it is. My sound card (HDA Intel) wasn't supported until .14, while Feisty (previous release) only had .13. Compiling from source was my only choice, really [02:19] Is it normal for Xorg to use ~15% of 2GB RAM? [02:19] so with the new x features, can you change the display resolution from the command line? [02:19] wweasel, once it is installed, where is it located. Under applications/System menu items ? [02:20] silent_, I'm not found of java eiter but I find frostwire the most userfreindly [02:20] so with the new x features, can you change the display resolution from the command line? [02:20] oh sorry about dupe [02:20] Pir8: I think it appears under System, actually. [02:20] wweasel, disregard the question, found it :) [02:20] hehe [02:20] kazol__, xserver uses a lot of resources, it's normal , it drives all your graphics , probabaly uses even more if you are running compiz and such [02:21] Neodudeman: you still there? [02:21] HALO [02:22] i have 1280 ram, lots of hd space, and 2.8 ghz, and slow booting, what can i do? [02:22] how slow is 'slow' [02:22] I just got a logitech wireless keyboard... it has a series of hotkeys on the top... of all of them the sound and E-mail buttons are the only ones that work..... is there a way to get the other keys to work and/or customize the key properties?

[02:29] hallo: you should try system - > preferences/administration [02:29] zetheroo, what default prog ? [02:30] I need a memory refresh -- what is the command that lets me bring nautilus to the desk top [02:30] Dagon, open any folder , that is nautilus [02:30] Pelo: well when I press the media button on the keyboard it opens a media player I don't like to use [02:30] not that powerful like pclinuxos,but pclinuxos is not much safer like 班图 [02:30] zetheroo, oh, try in menu > system > prefs [02:31] hey guys..i installed ubuntu with 1 gig of ram in..when i put in my other 1.5, the machine locks at login..any ideas?

[02:35] really wish i could figure out why beryl maked my gl screensavers run so bad [02:35] uh [02:35] I plugged in a sound card and disabled onboard sound. Now I have no sound :( What do I need to do to have it detect and use my sound card? [02:35] Yoakim, right click or dbl click the icon in the pannel, see if the print job is stoped, paused or someting, try rightlicking to restart it [02:35] The sound card is a Soundblaster Live [02:35] #ubuntu+1 tumbleweed__ [02:35] Everytime i start Ubuntu, I have to enter in my networks name and do dhclient, how do I make network manager work, or set up a file to connect to my network automatically? [02:35] Yoakim, did it find the correct driver that matches your printer or only a similar one ? [02:36] thanks, bazhang [02:36] I think it's a good match [02:36] Joshooa, that's an RC level thing but I can't tell you how to do it [02:36] I don't know [02:36] Pelo: RC? [02:37] anyone here runs Urban terror? [02:37] Joshooa, /etc/RC.d or rc.2 and such, those ar folder in which you put links to apps that you need started as services [02:37] ricanelite, check in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [02:37] Pelo: I can only abort (cancel) the job, the other options are greyed out... the status of the job is. "Stopped" [02:37] * kierov is away: [02:37] how can i find out which process is locking a file if i get a resource busy when rm a file? [02:38] Yoakim, are you sure your printer is properly setup, with paper and ink and the paper properly alinged and stuff ? [02:38] Pelo: No ideas on why network manager wont just connect to my network? if it's on roaming I think it sees it, but I have to click on my network name or it wont connect, it just tries and fails otherwise. [02:38] Pelo: Yes, It works like a charm on other OS'... [02:38] Joshooa, not rea;l;y my area , sorry [02:38] Pelo: Alright thanks anyway, maybe I'll look into RC [02:39] Yoakim, ok , try setting up the printer from the printer manager thingy in system > admin > printer, as a new printer, see if you can set it up better that way [02:39] Yoakim, what model printer is this ? [02:39] has any one had trouble w/ their xorg.conf getting hosed on upgrade? every time i upgrade ubuntu i have to manually edit the nvidia line to get to the gui then reinstall envy. [02:40] Pelo: Epson Stylus PHOTO 830 === schlort_ is now known as schlort [02:40] Yoakim, ok those are parts of cups, I was wondering it it might have been hp , they seem to have extra stuff to work with [02:41] Cyanidetransisto, envy is probably the issue here, if you installed the driver manualy I suspect it might not happen [02:42] I have a Logitech Quickcam Express that I have been trying for hours to get working. When I try to run it in camorama, it tells me that it could not connect to the video device (/dev/video0/). I have been weeding through multiple how-tos, etc. but I cannot get my cam working.

That's why I'm here. [02:42] gluonman, you 'Ll need to setup the webcam driver first, spcaXX or someting , gspca also I think [02:42] If I choose "send the tracker a custom IP", does that mean I can not to send my real IP? [02:42] Pelo: Ok, so I have the choice between four versions: 1 Epson Stylus Photo 830 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.1 (recommended) [02:43] That question is for ktorrent [02:43] Pelo, how do I do that? I haven't found a clear explanation. I've just tried a whole bunch of crap leading me to nothing. [02:43] gluonman, I was not sending you away, I was giving you the standard documentation for webcams [02:43] Pelo: the other three are Simplified, Simplified and [blank] instead of recommended [02:43] Pelo, Okay. [02:43] gluonman, read up a bit and look at the links ubotu gave you [02:44] Pelo, I have looked at those links. [02:44] Pelo, I'm still kind of lost. [02:44] Yoakim, use the recommended wones [02:44] Hey, what are the commands to compile??? [02:45] gluonman, personnaly I tried last year to setup a cheapass webcam and gave up after a week , but I didn'T realhy need it , I was just messing about, [02:45] I've forgotten... [02:45] pelo, i cannot manually install the drivers from the repositories. the legacy drivers dont work properly. [02:45] gluonman, did you lookup your camera model in the forum ? [02:45] it's like cd w/e and then... what? [02:45] Pelo, yes. [02:45] Cyanidetransisto, how about the binairies from the makers website ? [02:45] COnfig? [02:46] make config? [02:46] idk [02:46] gluonman, keep asking here periodicaly , maybe someone will be able to help eventualy, do not dispair [02:46] ./configure,maybe [02:46] Pelo, thanks. [02:46] jubilee, ./configure , make , sudo make install [02:46] Mmm, yes. that' [02:46] jubilee, you need to sudo apt-get install build-essential first [02:47] how do i add icon sets? [02:47] imbecile, drag drop the tar.gz file to the theme manager ( appearance) [02:47] pelo, unfortunantly the driver from nvidias site arent that great. i think i will try envys site and see what driver base/config they are using. [02:48] Pelo: tyvm [02:48] gluonman: did you try the easycam thing as suggested? [02:48] Pelo, u r always life savr [02:48] wols_, What is that?

[02:49] Pelo: Sorry, I'm not getting anywhere with this and I think I'll have to call it a night... Thanks though for taking the time... [02:49] GentleG, you would do better to ask the quesiton and hope [02:49] uhuh :) [02:49] gluonman: have you read the url Pelo gave you? [02:49] Yoakim, best of luck [02:49] Pelo, "E: Couldn't find package build-essential" [02:50] wols_, stop it with the name dropping [02:50] kewl... I need a moment of some kind soul's time to help with samba prob on Ubuntu 7.10 [02:50] wols_, let me get back to that. I'm looking around. [02:50] jp-mocs: you still need to explain waht the problem is :) [02:50] Ahh... [02:50] sudo apt-get build-essential [02:50] im looking for a geek/hacker commune international traveler location doesnt matter, if you know of one with avail residency for about 2 years please let me know. [02:50] jubilee, make sure you spelled it right sudo apt-get install build-essential [02:50] Pelo: but you did give him the url [02:51] jubilee, did you mess around with the sources.list file ? [02:51] so it's normal to refer it like this [02:51] i have tried everything to get my rt2500-based wireless working well in gutsy, but it is starting to look hopeless. i have blacklisted the crap gutsy rt2500pci driver, and have compiled the serialmonkey rt2500 driver... this has helped have a more stable connection to my WEP-protected home-network, but i am having an even worse time connecting to totally unencrypted public networks, does anyone have a suggestion? [02:51] ok - I'm trying to automate mounting unclean ntfs drives. because it's not always the same dev I want to be able to pass the particular dev to the forced mount command. I'm using $1 to pass into the shell script. i.e. mount ntfs-3f /dev/$1 /media/unclean -o force. however it's still responding that it doesn't have a target [02:51] Pelo, Yeah, I just caught it "essenial" [02:51] 3g i mean [02:51] I guess I already have it [02:51] well... I had U6.06, everything was fine... just did total reinstall to 7.10, now it don't work... keep getting "group could not be found" [02:52] only wierd thing in the reinstall is that now network is seen as eth1 instead of eth0 [02:52] jp-mocs: what doesnt work? are you sharing or mounting? can you paste your configuration etc? did you copy your smb.conf from 6.06 into 7.10 ? [02:52] Pelo: stupid question i know but where is theme manager? [02:53] linxeh: did a compleat reinstall... so nothing (should have) copied over [02:53] imbecile, menu > system > prefs > appearance or right click the desktop > change wallpaper >first tab [02:53] jp-mocs: ok, and where do you get "group not found"? can you paste smb.conf into the pastebard ? [02:54] lixeh: I could if I could get to the Ubuntu machine :) [02:54] GentleG : Do you have the correct syntax? [02:54] I am IRC from the XP machine [02:54] can you not ssh to it? [02:54] * Pelo feels jp-mocs ' pain [02:54] Hey Pelo, when I make, it doesn't do anything... beyond tell me that there was an error [02:54] I can manually type in the command and have it work, but it's a long string to type over and over [02:55] jubilee, did you run ./configure first ? did you install the missing dependencies ? [02:55] I did sudo ./configure... [02:55] jubilee, no sudo with ./configure, nor with make [02:55] GentleG : But it doesn't work in your script.. [02:56] GentleG : Do you have the script handy? [02:56] Pelo.... I have to install the missing dep? b/c it does say there are things missing... Like aclocal, autoconf, automake, autoheader, makeinfo [02:56] Is that the build-essential? [02:57] what's a good linux nntp client? [02:57] no - I can manually edit the .sh file i made and put in the particular dev (i.e. sda1) but when I try to pass the dev through the command line it doesn;t take it. I spent time looking it up online before I cam in here - all the references say that $1 should pass the first command line item through [02:57] GentleG : To see what command is being constructed in the script.. put an echo in front of the mount line.. [02:57] ok [02:57] jubilee, build-essential is only the stuff that you need to perform compiling from source, dependencies are the bits that are required for a particular app to run [02:58] Well, what are the things that I listed as missing? I don't even know what that stuff is.. [02:58] #!/bin/bash [02:58] echo mount ntfs-3f /dev/$1 /media/unclean -o force [02:58] GentleG : run the script.. with your arguments .. what does it output? [02:58] the echo output is : mount ntfs-3f /dev/ /media/unclean -o force [02:59] GentleG: wht does that script do? [02:59] jubilee, open synaptic and from a terminal run ./configure when you get a error that says something is missing do a search for it in synaptic, and instal it,then run ./configure again , and instll the next missing dependency from synapti, and so on until you run throught ./configure with no errors, then you run make , make creates your very own personnalised installer file, then you run sudo make install that does the actual installing [02:59] Pelo: I've noticed alot of the downloads off gnome-look arent tar.gz and it wont let me install them. is this fixable? [02:59] Pelo, thx! [02:59] jubilee, but before you do any of that, check in synaptic for the app you want , much easier, next easiest is getting a .deb package from the website where yo got the soruce from [02:59] I work in a tech shop and I have to do backups of messed up ntfs drives a lot. so this automates the force mount [03:00] This is weird - I have an external usb - dvd burner.. Its been burning good all day., now suddendly on the last 2 disks. its buring at 1x speed with k3b. [03:00] linxeh, you getting the private sends? [03:00] imbecile, what format are they ? [03:00] pelo rar,bz2 even zip [03:00] on a plus note, i've talked the manager into allowing me to remove windows from my bench unit [03:00] GentleG : Something is not right.. are you running the script like this ./script.sh [03:00] GentleG : ./script.sh sdb [03:01] the command i've been using is sudo sh mountunclean.sh [03:01] and then sda [03:01] imbecile, looks to me like those have been repacked to includestuff like instrucitons and such, unpack once and drag drop the tar.gz from inside those to the theme manager [03:01] and then sda1 I mean === yesy5t is now known as Ashfire908 [03:01] or whatever dev ubuntu assigns it too [03:01] Pelo: okay thanks ill give it a try [03:02] GentleG : For testing.. try a REALLY simple script.. [03:02] GentleG : #!/bin/bash [03:02] GentleG: echo $1 [03:02] gotcha === dotnet is now known as Tembelek`Terbang === ugktuik is now known as Ashfire908 [03:03] ok, here is the config... I have an XP machine and an Ubuntu connected through a router, the router in turn connected to a cable modem [03:03] GentleG : That's it.. if that doesn't echo something then the arguments are not being passed to the script.. [03:03] i cant seem to make ubuntu save my resolution, every time i log off or restart the resolution is back to is old way, can anyone help? [03:03] yeah - Its echoing a blank line [03:03] e [03:03] I had 6.06 installed in the Ubuntu... decided to reinstall from scratch to 7.10 (cause incremental upgrade sucks) [03:04] thanks for the help - i'll try to do some more research and see if I can figure it out [03:04] reconfiged 7,10 samba the same way I had done the 6.06 [03:04] is it possible that the output of nohup is not saved anywhere .... ie send it to dev/null ? [03:04] I can SEE the Ubuntu from the XP, but get a 'group not found' error when I try to connect [03:05] GentleG : So you did something like this ... sudo sh test.sh hda1 [03:05] hey, im having a problem changing my next window (all windows) key setting in compiz settings manager, for some reason I can't remove or change the key, immediately after I do, something else sets it back to Tab [03:05] yeah [03:05] <_hufi_> can anyone say me how i can use nmap to scan a view ips if there is someone available [03:05] GentleG : Try without the sudo.. [03:05] ok [03:06] recently i installed ubuntu on to a usb stick by booting in the the livecd and installing ubuntu right on to it. (it is a 4gb stick). now my grub isn't working right, i have to have the usb stick in just to get to the bootloader menu. How do i fix this? [03:06] <_hufi_> can anyone say me how i can use nmap to scan a view ips if there is someone available [03:06] <_hufi_> please ='( [03:06] _hufi_: man nmap [03:06] no change - still echoing a blank line on the test script [03:06] _hufi_, sudo nmap -sP IPRANGE [03:07] _hufi_, i recall some front ends to nmap also. [03:07] I was just doing the sudo because the original script required it [03:07] nmapfe [03:07] my drive is mounted, on sda3 ... and i just deleted sda1 it has a lot og GB space.. so im mounted right now, i need to add in more space to my already mounted drive.. in the gnome partitioner' what would i need to make that possible? [03:08] I have in the smb.conf a valid username and group... [03:08] anyone know why compizconfig settings manager would be preventing me from changingg the "next window" key shortcut? [03:08] followed the docs (which on different sites are often controdictory) [03:09] i don't know how to do that, (im on sda3 mounted) there's free space on another partition.. sda3 to be specific.. , i need those GB transfered to my computer im typing on [03:09] wins should be on [03:09] did the smbadduser [03:09] hi [03:09] does anybody know how to reinstall grub but using a different boot partition [03:10] anyone got any ideas? [03:10] GentleG : Strange one. That script is as simple as you can get.. what about replacing $1 with $0 [03:11] anyone? Buhler? [03:12] Is it normal that my partition formatting in xfs doesn't contain a lost+found directory? [03:12] maybe this will help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 [03:12] ok no change and i also just tried test.sh 1 2 3 4 5 and still got nothing [03:12] is it better keep the nvidea drivers from ubuntu or download the drivers and install the drivers from the web site (because the grafics effects dont work)? [03:12] jp-mocs, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=76647 [03:13] going there now [03:14] anyone here have knowledge of xfs? [03:14] timely question, I just gave up on the Ubuntu supplied nvidia drivers (because I couldn't get X to even start with them) and installed the ones from nvidia's site (which worked) [03:14] Okay. I've been trying and trying to install the drivers for my Logitech Quickcam Express webcam. I quite simply cannot figure the stupid thing out. Can some knowledgeable person just give me a walk-through please? [03:14] sanzanric: looks pretty much like what i did [03:15] Is the Fedora 8 iptables firewall gui available for ubuntu? [03:15] my machine shipped with Edgy on it and nvidia's drivers installed already when I got it. I just upgraded it to Feisty and had to reinstall from nvidia's stuff to get X to work. Maybe it was just having problems trying to fix the existing config or something [03:16] jp-mocs, sorry, what are you trying to do, sorry i have been in this channel a couple of seconds? [03:16] which leads to why I actually came in here myself... was just upgrading said machine from Feisty to Gutsy, and the updater died in the middle of the update [03:16] it was the first installation [03:16] no clue why it died, I just noticed the noise from the hard drive stopped, and I looked up and the window was gone [03:16] and picking the updater off the menu didn't do anything [03:17] Tried to run Synaptic and it told me dpkg was interrupted and run it from the command line to fix [03:17] and after i'd try to install the vidia drivers but with a lot of problem with gnome [03:17] so dpkg --configure -a is doing its thing now... [03:17] but I was wondering if there's anything else I need to do besides letting dpkg finish that the updater would have done before rebooting [03:18] IIRC when I updated from Edgy to Feisty it did some other cleanup stuff after the install and configure [03:18] Is anyone knowledgeable on installing and configuring webcams? [03:18] sanzanric: I did.. as far as I can tell... the exact same thing as I did before with the 6.06... followed the same instruction sheet in fact... [03:20] Can someone help me setup my Logitech QuickCam Express webcam? [03:20] can anyone lend me a moment to track down a samba issue? [03:20] can anyone tell me how to add icon theme that is just .tar and inside the tar is the folder? [03:21] nevermind [03:21] Thanks for the help gopodge - i'll try to do more research.

[03:33] hey, quick question, in ubuntu, what is the default desktop effects setting? [03:33] medium? [03:33] i cant understand u whats x display? [03:34] iSE: does it matter? I remember there's some way like :0 or something, but I forget how to do it [03:34] or does it depend on the card? [03:34] alsadk10, ooOoOo sounds like you have a compatibility issue with your graphics card... might i ask is it an ATI card? [03:34] I have this problem when I am listening to music and once a day when I click on a new song to play, the song doesnt open and the icon for mp3 changes to a blank piece of paper and nothing on my desktop opens anymore, i cant even click the shut down button because nothing comes up, how do i fix this? [03:34] damone: oh i see you mean from the command line? [03:34] hello again [03:34] iSE: yes [03:34] ok let me c it [03:34] hi, i was curious, is there a way to rip flac from cds? i am using k3b, to rip, and flac is not an option [03:35] should i usea different app? [03:35] staykovmarin: try grip [03:35] staykovmarin: just need to add plugin [03:35] staykovmarin: you can try sound-juicer [03:35] damone: Not too sure on that one, I have two display's myself, my monitor + TV, i used a custom config of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to set them up and literally just drag it across. I know some programs there is an option in their settings that asks which screen [03:35] Hey, I only had 3 GB space left on my other hard drive and I copied all of the folders in / to another drive, its formatted, first partition is ext3, second is swap space, I can boot it but it stops loading at one point and just hangs, help please? What could I possibly have to fix after copying this? I already changed grub to point to the first partition, since on the old drive the partition I was booting off of was the second one... [03:35] kenan: try control-alt-backspace next time that happens, and you may not have to restart at least [03:35] ok.. system-config-samba requires x server, and I am running a plain old lamp server... so... (and this is a total dumb question) how do I install the x server? [03:35] Does anyone know how to get a list of open windows via a console command? Or some way to getting that info programatically? I'm pretty sure there is, but I don't remember what, and I can't seem to search for the right thing. [03:36] iSE: I'm trying to figure out how to make the display from my SSH terminal to show up on my server's monitor :/ [03:36] well i dont want to have to do that all the time, im just looking for a permanent solution so evernything doesnt randomly stop opening [03:36] GreySim: might it have something to do with xprop? [03:36] pianoboy3333: it doesnt work like that, the install specifies the partition it's installed upon. You'll need to change the settings of grub, to get it to boot from the other partition [03:37] iSE: I did, I changed all that to (0,0) instead of (0,1) that it was at [03:37] pianoboy3333: my apologies on the grub settings, misread what u said. But I know the partition address is located in the install, so its trying to load things from the original partition. I had the same problem and is why i can't reload windows after i messed around splitting a partition [03:37] is there a way to get personal messages in Pidgin just like how it is in MSN? [03:37] iSE: it boots, and I get to the loading GUI but it just hangs [03:38] iSE: there has to be a way to fix that... [03:38] pianoboy3333, it takes me forever to boot [03:38] try giving it a few minutes [03:38] Wargasm: yea, but before it booted in under a minute [03:38] Wargasm: I let it hang for 20 just to make sure then some debian console popped up [03:38] its trident cyberblade i1 agp [03:39] anyone use gfceu snes emulator? [03:39] damone: Ah I see, where is it going at the moment? what monitor set up have you got? have you tried expanding the display across all monitors or the two you wish to use? [03:39] oh, ok my bad then pianoboy3333 [03:39] Hey, I need a book recommendation, I ordered one of those Ubuntu Dells for someone who has never used a computer in their life (i figured ubuntu will give them less problems, and if i have to, i can install WinXP instead of Vista), does anyone have any recommendation for a book for them? [03:39] I was thinking about the official ubuntu book [03:39] damone: im sure there is a way you can add a command line [03:39] its trident cyberblade i1 agp [03:39] damone: as to what it is i'm not sure, have you tried the manpages of X11? [03:39] panicbyte: the official book would be a good starter imo === saxartist is now known as saxofoner [03:40] how would I go about installing a tar.gz file? [03:40] i cant understand u whats x display? [03:41] pianoboy3333: there may be a way to edit it manually, you'll have to figure out how the ubuntu install stores the partition it's loading from and change it, there will prob be a config file somewhere im sure of it, but as to what it is, or how to use it, im afraid i cant help [03:41] bazhang: http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Ubuntu-Linux-Novice-Professional/dp/1590596277 is this one any good? [03:41] or is that one a little more advanced than a never used a computer before person? [03:41] Does Pidgin have a personal message feature like in MSN? [03:41] iSE: well thanks anyway [03:41] panicbyte: that looks quite good :} [03:41] i have ubuntu live cd now i want it for someone else laptop whats the speeds way to install beter? [03:42] bazhang: i have to admit, ubuntu has officially made Linux easier than Windows [03:42] it's the new OS X [03:42] pianoboy3333: sorry, im not as to how to solve the problem, but im pretty certain that that is your problem as like i said, my windows install bricked because of it lol! [03:42] panicbyte: offtopic, but agreed :} [03:43] iSE: yea I know, my friend tried doing that with windows and his borked cause windows installed crap everywhere and is messy like that, but I thought with linux I could just copy it [03:43] !software [03:43] A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [03:43] ok..I will check that out [03:43] thanks [03:44] pianoboy3333: maybe you can, but hopefully its a start, if anythings possible with an OS, it'll be so with linux first :P [03:44] !screenlets [03:44] Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [03:44] iSE: heh, true [03:44] good...I couldnt find this...but then again I wasnt at the community portion [03:44] Anyone know where the xine config file for Totem is? I've tried $HOME/.xine n that only affects Kaffein [03:44] i have ubuntu live cd now i want it for someone else laptop whats the speeds way to install beter? [03:45] whats choice i must use? [03:45] iSE: ~/.xine it's the same for all applications that use xine as a backend [03:45] alsadk10: dual boot? [03:45] !security [03:45] If you feel the need to adopt security measures for your system, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security - See also !root, !firewall and !server [03:45] from live cd how? [03:45] kitche: i've edited the config file to change the soundcard stereo is output to, and Kaffein plays it correctly, however Totem doesnt? [03:45] alsadk10: dual boot or only ubuntu? [03:46] iSE: did you change it in Totem as well? [03:46] what app should i use for WEBCAM? [03:46] whats dual boot is it choice on ubuntu live cd? [03:47] alsadk10: that means to run winxp and ubuntu from the same computer--two oses one system [03:47] hey guys, i just installed xubuntu, and installed rhythmbox from synaptic, and i was wondering if there was a way to use the multimedia buttons on my keyboard. i know i was able to do it on a vanilla ubuntu install, but it came like that. anyone know what i can do? [03:48] I copied all of the folders in / to another drive, its formatted properly, I can boot it but it and get to the gui, but it stops loading at one point and just hangs, help please? [03:48] bazhang: gotta go, thanks for the advice [03:48] Is there a way where more than one application can access the sound card. It would be great if I can have mp3's playing but I can also hear sound coming from somewhere else like youtube or something [03:48] kitche: well i changed audio.device.alsa_front_device:default to audio.device.alsa_front_device:plughw:ICH5, Kaffein now plays through the correct soundcard but Totem doesnt? [03:48] kitche: that was in ~/.xine config file [03:49] panicbyte no worries [03:49] i have win me & want to instal ubuntu with it ? [03:49] I'm looking to upgrade from Fiesty to Gutsy. [03:50] I have an Ubuntu DVD but I do not want to format and repartition. [03:50] Zombie: boot into Fiesty and run update-manager fresh it and it will let you upgrade to gutsy [03:50] I know, but I'd like it to use my DVD. [03:51] why lol [03:51] hi, sorry if slightly off topic, but does anyone know any good online canadian for buying pc components? [03:51] Zombie: then you need to format [03:51] doesn't inserting the dvd initiate an upgrade? [03:51] bazhang, Zombie: there is an option in Synaptic to use a cd-rom repo? [03:52] the online upgrade process is bandwidth intensive. [03:52] iSE: the live or the alternate [03:52] Zombie: isnt there an upgrade option when the cd first boots [03:52] No. [03:52] Zombie: try the alternate cd for that [03:53] i have win me & want to instal ubuntu with it ? [03:53] bazhang: Well i installed using the live cd, and in synaptic in the repo settings, theres an option to use the cd-rom, im assuming the same will be there in Zombie's Synaptic repo settings, and so can load the updated files from the DVD [03:53] Is there a way where more than one application can access the sound card. It would be great if I can have mp3's playing but I can also hear sound coming from somewhere else like youtube or something [03:53] Hi. Is there a utility in Ubuntu or Debian to do bulk resizing and renaming of images? [03:53] iSE: if that was the install source iirc [03:54] bazhang: iirc? [03:54] I copied all of the folders in / to another drive, its formatted properly, I can boot it but it and get to the gui, but it stops loading at one point and just hangs, help please? [03:54] ang-oz: try "nautilus-image-converter" [03:54] iSE: "If I Remember Correctly" [03:54] iSE: sorry, if I recally correctly :} [03:54] err recall [03:54] BarryToeman: OK - thanks [03:54] bazhang, ang-oz: how dense! [03:55] lol# [03:55] haha not at all my fault [03:56] bazhang: whats the alternative install method besides CD though? In fact, im not sure what it is myself, but can't you add the DVD as a repo? [03:56] iSE: yea, if you add the cd as repos you can upgrade that way [03:56] iSE: or the dvd [03:56] question: anyone else have a problem when they click a link on Firefox where it should ask "download or open with application" that the file starts displaying as text, instead? Anyone know how to fix this annoyance? [03:56] ang-oz: gThumb can do bulk image resize. i'm not sure if the nautilus script can do bulk [03:57] iSE: the internet is certainly much easier though [03:57] iSE: I would think no, though the alternate cd does provide that option; Zombie is welcome to try though :} [03:57] pianoboy333 is correct you can do it in that way [03:57] BarryToeman: D'oh! I should have thought of gThumb [03:57] there's that other good photo program [03:57] damn what's its name [03:57] F-Spot [03:57] gimp? [03:58] bazhang: no F-Spot [03:58] bazhang: I'm suing gimp already, but i want something to do it in bulk without requiring interaction [03:58] s/suing/using/ [03:59] Zombie: Open Synaptic Package manager from System > Administration. Goto Settings > Repositories, then click the third party software tab, and then the button "Add CD-Rom". You'll need to insert the Gutsy DVD at this point. Hopefully that should work for you, though a lot will have been updated since that CD was released [03:59] ang-oz: ah ok, wasn't paying attention mea culpa :} [03:59] ang-oz : you may want to look into imagemagick [04:00] its made for that sort of thing [04:00] BarryToeman: Do you have to restart Nautilus to get the extension to activate? [04:00] man what happened to gutsy. seems to be really buggy...anyone else having problems? [04:00] ang-oz: i'm not sure. [04:00] SpudDogg: can you specify? [04:00] Hi everyone, i've got a problem with evolution mail client : I'm behind a proxy, and evolution cannot fetch images in html mails. The proxy configuration is given in gnome, but it seems it doesn't use it [04:00] I copied all of the folders in / to another drive, its formatted properly, I can boot it but it and get to the gui, but it stops loading at one point and just hangs, help please? [04:00] SpudDogg: Yeah, be more specific - gutsy works *great* for me [04:01] Bye everyone! [04:01] bye iSE [04:01] bazhang: well, for some reason i cannot get flashplugin-nonfree installed. it constantly drops out with an error. also, for some reason all of my network shares come "unmounted" by them selves if the computer sits idle for a while [04:02] I have a webcam, model Logitech Quickcam Express, and I downloaded the driver for it from sourceforge. Does anyone know where I need to move the folder for the driver to work? [04:02] vetetix: go to edit->preferences then choose mail preferences and the html mail tab, then check image loading options...i use load images in mail from contacts, but you can set it how you want [04:03] SpudDogg: the flash problem has been plaguing everyone the last few days--should be fixed--either in the backports or now in the main, the samba (?) issue I'm not sure about [04:03] Thanks for the help, folks. [04:03] bazhang: any idea where i can get the flash fix? should it come with an upgrade or something? [04:04] hi! is there any russian people here?

Does anyone know where I need to move the folder for the driver to work? [04:05] is an LVM partition accessible from any linux install? [04:05] gluonman: you gotta compile it you can't just move the folder [04:05] starryeyedboy: my proc is amd64 (athlon 64 4000+) but no, i'm running 32-bit [04:05] EdwardXP: for actual dvds? you need libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org [04:05] gluonman: its kinda complicated [04:05] can i trust you bazhang [04:05] gluonman: plus installing the source package from the repositories is a much better way [04:06] EdwardXP: your call :} [04:06] pianoboy3333, might you be able to give me an explanation? At least something to lead me along. Oh, I can't seem to get them from repos. Webcam support is extremely low.

[04:06] gluonman: I have my quickcam working fine...... [04:06] SpudDogg i had the same problem yesterday. apparently adobe released a new version of flash [04:06] alright [04:06] robdig, thx, but it's not the problem, as you can ask to load images with ctrl+I. The pb is with proxy setting [04:06] pianoboy3333, how did you do that? [04:06] gluonman: you comfortable with the terminal? [04:06] gluonman: take a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [04:06] had to install from nvidia's download to get it to work on feisty, so that's a nice improvement [04:06] !flash [04:06] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [04:06] pianoboy3333, yes.

It's open. [04:10] ok [04:10] vetetix: have you set the proxy up in evolution? [04:10] pianoboy3333, but which do I select?

It went to the terminal and took a moment then went back. [04:11] gluonman: yep that's normal, now do prepare [04:11] justdave, go to system, then click on administration, then click on restricted drivers [04:11] Right now I'm running of the live CD trying to figure out why grub isn't loading [04:11] make sure there's no drivers in red [04:11] hmm, okay I rebooted a second time and I have sound after rebooting [04:11] ok maybe its fine then [04:11] but you could still check [04:11] might be other drivers [04:11] pianoboy3333, okay. All set [04:11] robdig, yes, the proxy settings for the system are ok [04:11] gluonman: ok now select [04:11] justdave: A lot of times, the sound volume is at 0 or muted. [04:11] only thing listed in restricted drivers is the nvidia card [04:12] vetetix: System->Preferences->Network Proxy [04:12] pianoboy3333, Okay. [04:12] scroll down to the module with the arrow keys [04:12] justdave: check ALL your volume levels in the gnome volume applet [04:12] gluonman: then select it with space bar [04:12] Hi there [04:12] pianoboy3333, module with arrow keys?

[04:13] pianoboy3333, okay. Let me look for it. [04:13] IMHO, having Walmart selling cheap Linux PCs with support is better than Dell selling them with optional support. [04:13] how much can i get one with like a gb of ram? [04:13] pianoboy3333, found it. [04:14] pianoboy3333, I selected it.

[04:17] no wait, is another thing, going to put it in one line [04:17] pedro__: you need to get the package from medibuntu.org called libdvdcss2--instructions are on the site [04:17] pianoboy3333, yeah. I've never used this before. But it's installing now. [04:18] Record and share your own *unencrypted* DVDs. I found these Ubuntu instructions on a website: http://www.linuxgamingworld.com/2007/12/recording-a-dvd-of-your-own [04:18] gluonman: that's good [04:18] pianoboy3333, it finished installing. [04:18] hi [04:18] !hi | pawan [04:18] pawan: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [04:18] gluonman: ok, good now exit the program, I dunno its like back and then exit on the next screen [04:18] gluonman: just so the program quits [04:19] any new release [04:19] pianoboy3333, okay. [04:19] gluonman: ok, now type "gksudo gedit /etc/modules" [04:19] yes pawan though just an alpha [04:19] How would I set a rule (if possible) to force all http traffic to a specific port (for DansGuardian) using IPtables in Webmin [04:19] which one [04:19] pianoboy3333, okay. [04:20] pawan: hardy heron [04:20] how to download it [04:20] !hardy [04:20] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [04:20] gluonman: now, I'm not sure the name of the module... I think its quickcam-messenger [04:20] played with totem, plays well just one chapter, NOTE: sounds perfect. I wanted to see the complete dvd and interact with menus, so I tried gxine, didnt work from a directory and then I installed ogle, it tried to open but didnt, then I tried with kaffeine, it opened very well, but no sound, thought first that it was kaffeine, but then I reboot and the drum sound from the logn page of ubuntu didnt came! then I have no sound at all, nor from audacious nor a [04:20] ny other app... what could happened? [04:20] gluonman: so try adding "quickcam-messenger" to the end of the list [04:20] pianoboy3333, okay. [04:20] pianoboy3333, done. [04:20] pedro__: It only plays one chapter because the dvdnav package is not installed. [04:21] gluonman: exit gedit... then try "sudo modprobe quickcam-messenger" [04:21] pianoboy3333, and saved. [04:21] ok, but the problem is not with the dvd, is with my box's sound [04:21] it has no sound at all [04:21] pianoboy3333, mobprobe = command not found. [04:21] and used to have [04:21] gluonman: oh sorry its modprobe, just a typo [04:21] pianoboy3333, oh. haha [04:21] pedro__ : have you restarted yet? [04:22] yep twice [04:22] hmmm [04:22] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS [04:22] now it has no sound [04:22] pianoboy3333, okay. It seems to have worked. [04:22] gluonman: good [04:22] Guyz I can't execute bootlilo.sh. Anybody messed with? [04:22] I think it has to do with ogle or gxine or kaffeine [04:22] pawan: that is the one [04:22] pianoboy3333, anything after that? Or do I just test it now? [04:22] gluonman: install the program camorama "sudo apt-get install camorama" [04:22] in april [04:22] pedro__: Try this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930 [04:22] pianoboy3333, already have camorama. [04:23] gluonman: yea just test it, camorama is a good program but my computer used to crash when I didn't have it set up right [04:23] gluonman: alright, try it, see what happens [04:23] alsamixer, tried to disable IEC, but it didnt work [04:23] let me check [04:23] pianoboy3333, it outputs that it could not find /dev/video0 or something like that. [04:24] gluonman: yea.... damn... [04:24] gluonman: alright try unplugging the camera and plugging it back in [04:24] How would I set a rule (if possible) to force all http traffic to a specific port (for DansGuardian) using IPtables in Webmin [04:24] pianoboy3333, okay. [04:24] gluonman: make sure the camera is connected directly to the computer and not through a usb-hub or like a usb slot on your monitor [04:25] pianoboy3333, it's connected via USB to the back of the computer. [04:25] ok good [04:25] pianoboy3333, same error. [04:25] pianoboy3333, might a restart work? [04:25] gluonman: alright, try rebooting, yea [04:25] what is kubuntu-devel [04:25] pianoboy3333, okay. I'll give that a try. I'll be back.

I set the pointer settings and they appear changed in xmodmap -pp, but they revert upon restarting [04:29] why does limewire not display properly? [04:30] desertc: yes, it is ok without compiz... maybe the problem is i have xine backend for totem [04:30] can someone help me with that?

But can you help me figure out how to find gspc-source? [04:47] is there an standart language for this channel? [04:47] grout_: Yes. You'll probably want to use Xubuntu or Fluxbuntu, as they are a bit more lightweight.

[05:01] excuseme everyone please, wont copy paste again, I swear, still anybody want to help me despite my copypaste mistake :) [05:01] you could probably set up a samba share [05:01] !samba | vasilisa [05:01] vasilisa: 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 [05:01] vasilisa: possable === aRyn_ is now known as aRyn [05:02] Cpudan80: I have never done netwroking stuff in my life. The extent of my knowledge: we want to transfer files [05:02] okay samba [05:02] vasilisa: Are the two machines physically connected? [05:02] anyone here know how to get broadcom ethernet working with Gutsy? [05:02] Cpudan80: Well this usb thing connects them.... [05:02] !sound | pedro [05:02] pedro: 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 [05:03] pedro: No, we wont. We would have to scroll back to look at it and then we wouldn't see the current discussion. Use the pastebin and give us a url. [05:03] vasilisa: That's not gonna work [05:03] Cpudan80: but it said its a transfer cable for files o.o [05:03] vasilisa: How do the two computers connect to the internet [05:03] ok thanks! [05:03] vasilisa: It would work if both machines used windows [05:03] Cpudan80: oh. crap. [05:03] Cpudan80: both are in a router [05:03] jdsbluedevl: "6 is configuration error. In most cases this means that a blocklist (configured in /etc/moblock/blocklists.list) could not be downloaded. Therefore moblock won't start. [05:03] Just remove the missing blocklists from the conffile for a while or try updating the lists again." [05:03] vasilisa: What are the IPs of each machine? [05:04] Cpudan80: .... [05:04] Cpudan80: No offense, i dont give out IPs [05:04] anyone here bored and want to help me get my ethernet working? [05:04] ok, what does that mean? [05:04] vasilisa: In windows, do start --> run --> cmd --> ipconfig ; in ubuntu open a terminal and do ifconfig [05:04] jdsbluedevl: from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192559&page=93 [05:04] Cpudan80: What do we do with the info? [05:04] vasilisa: There's no danger in giving out your ip. [05:04] vasilisa: You said they're behind a router, which means they're not public IPs [05:04] It's probably 192.168.1.100 and .101 [05:04] BaryToeman: remove from where?\ === hiredgoo1 is now known as hiredgoon [05:05] jdsbluedevl: i don't know. take a look at the thread for more info. [05:05] Folks, last chance for freedom in your lifetime: teaparty07.com [05:05] vasilisa: You enable sharing on the windows box (ask ##windows) - and then use samba to connect to the windows box in ubuntu [05:05] ubotu en als daar ooit iemand reageerd? [05:05] Cpudan80: Oh okay [05:05] JarG0n: no spam please [05:05] And we use our ips to set it up? [05:06] sorry [05:06] oh great, the Paul spam-bots [05:06] Does anyone have any experience with Gobby? [05:06] vasilisa: You're connected to irc from host c-69-245-39-225.hsd1.tn.comcast.net, corresponding to ip address 69.245.39.225. An IP address is *not* a secret. [05:06] I HATE the Ron Paul spammers [05:06] Hirvinen: oh okay.... [05:06] pianoboy3333, are you back? [05:06] vasilisa: In ubuntu, you'll go to places --> Network --> Go --> location --> and type smb://IP [05:06] gluonman: yea for a little then I'm off to bed [05:06] hello to all again....i used synaptic to install apache and php...but how do i know that i did it correctly ? [05:06] !bot | kiersie [05:06] so ehh smb://192.168.1.100 [05:06] kiersie: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [05:06] maybe [05:07] pianoboy3333, can you help me find the gspca-source? [05:07] bmt2: did you follow the instructions from the link i gave you? [05:07] hi, how do i check if i have a problem with my video display? everything is unrealisticly slow scrolling on my screen... [05:07] * vasilisa hadnt installed samba [05:07] vasilisa: I think it's native [05:07] BarryToeman: yes...that is what lead to me to synaptic [05:07] dpupp: did you install video card drivers? [05:07] vasilisa: In fact, I know it is -- it works off the live CD [05:07] bmt2: there is a section that shows you how to test it [05:07] oh ok [05:07] what music player do you guys recommend? [05:08] Montoya, no, im on a fres install of 7.10 [05:08] gluonman: nah I'm sorry I'm on a live cd I'll try tomorrow [05:08] i want to play flac and mp3 [05:08] pianoboy3333, okay. Thanks anyway. [05:08] vasilisa: you do not need to install samba on winxp; listen to Cpudan80 [05:08] I like VLC for music/video [05:08] dpupp: do you have nvidia card? [05:08] vlc is alright [05:08] dpupp: an easy way to get your video drivers installed is with a tool called envy [05:08] hi all! [05:08] BarryToeman: i was just curious because when i installed php...there was only 2 files [05:08] Montoya, No, its an ATI mobility (dell inspiron 4150) [05:08] i didn't think that was right [05:08] dpupp: that's what I was about to suggest [05:08] brand0con: does envy work for ATI? [05:08] dpupp: what video card do you have? [05:09] bmt2: you mean just two packages to install? [05:09] Brand0con, Envy? i will look into that in a sec. [05:09] dpupp: i know at least most ATI setups work with envy [05:09] can anyone tell me why the program truecrypt isn't part of the gutsy-repos!? should be!!! [05:09] BarryToeman: yes [05:09] dpupp: get envy, that's the best advice I have [05:09] Be right back... checking up on ENVY. [05:09] dpupp: its always worked on my nvidia machines [05:09] thanks [05:09] Anyone ever had connection problems with Gobby? or at least heard of it?\ [05:09] http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html [05:09] someone want to help me with my ethernet card? [05:09] bmt2: that's normal for just php you probably only need the package "php5" [05:09] hmmmmmmmmmm [05:09] "touch: cannot touch `this': Permission denied" [05:10] dpupp: I have used ATI cards on all of my 3 Thinkpad laptops, and I never had to use Envy for driver installation [05:10] BarryToeman: thanks [05:10] !envy | dpupp [05:10] dpupp: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [05:10] silent_: use sudo [05:10] bmt2: just read through that page quickly. it has good info. [05:10] So i have to go to smb://? [05:10] haha! Bazhang! nice going. i was just about to ask that [05:10] silent_: hammertime [05:10] thanks [05:11] It was just the PCM volume control muted... checking for alsa found it... Thank you very much to every one who helped me, you make this community and this software what it is... thanks again, good night every one [05:11] what is a good IDE to use for C++ development? Right now I'm using gedit and g++ but I could do much better === SuT3 is now known as joko [05:11] how can i recover or undelete files deleted with "Trash" under gnome/gutsy? [05:11] slayer_: Kate :D [05:11] dpupp: if you have one of the newer ATI cards you should use the fglrx driver in Ubuntu Synaptic together with the xgl-server package for effects === joko is now known as sperm [05:11] anyone here have a dell inspiron 5150? [05:12] lammy, open the trash icon and pull them out [05:12] lammy: did you "Empty Trash"? [05:12] dpupp: if you have the older ATI cards you should be able to do everything with the open source ati or radeon drivers [05:12] slayer_: geany [05:12] :nickrud: ^^ - after i sad "emty trash" ... [05:12] lammy, no, they're gone then, same as windows [05:13] is ext3 the best file system for linux? [05:13] can someone help me set up ndiswrapper for my machine? [05:13] Wargasm, best general purpose [05:13] ok [05:13] vasilisa: Yes, smb://ip-of-other-machine [05:13] Montoya: what wifi device? [05:13] good enough for me then [05:13] not wifi, ethernet [05:13] I'm using a LiveCD and am trying to copy files from one of my hard drives to my external hard drive but am getting a permissions error. What can I do? [05:13] nickrud: but isn't there a possibility to undelete them like the command undelete under dos ...!? [05:13] Montoya: so what do you need help with? [05:13] zetheroo: I think my wifi works, but my ethernet doesn't [05:13] thanks, geany looks like what I am looking for. code completion = teh win [05:14] Montoya: you THINK your wifi works?? [05:14] zetheroo: Network Manager shows it's connecting, but then I don't get any internet [05:14] zetheroo: I can't test it, but it picks up networks [05:14] Wargasm: depends on what you are doing and your hardware, but ususally ext3 is great [05:14] Montoya: your wifi or ethernet? [05:14] zetheroo: I don't have my own network that I can play with [05:14] my wifi picks up networks [05:14] yeah i was just wondering if i chose the correct file system, i figured ext3 was the best though [05:14] lammy, not really, there's e2undel but it's of limited utility. [05:14] is it possible that when wifi is running, the wired connection won't work? [05:15] Montoya: so what are you trying to connect to if you don't have a metwork? [05:15] I'm trying to connect to my modem with my ethernet cable [05:15] my desktop can use it but my laptop can't [05:15] usually youd want a router between the modem and your pc [05:15] Montoya: ok... is your ethernet device installed ? [05:15] lammy: i've had reasonably good luck with ext3rminator for undeleting on ext3 partitions. [05:16] Montoya, yes, network manager can only handle one connection at a time (or last time I read up, just before gutsy release) [05:16] zetheroo: Yes, as far as I can tell, I installed drivers for it and it shows up in Network Manager, it even says it's connecting [05:16] nickrud: Oh! How do I turn off wireless then??? [05:16] so then youd have to disable wifi to use ethernet right [05:16] yes please, how!?? [05:16] Montoya, right click the network applet, turn off wireless. [05:16] lammy: might find something good here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [05:16] nickrud, atus: ah ok - thanks, i try it ... [05:16] right click the wireless bars, click the checkbox [05:16] I'm using a LiveCD and am trying to copy files from one of my hard drives to my external hard drive but am getting "You do not have permissions to write to this folder." [05:16] ok brb everyone, let me see what happens [05:16] ok [05:17] Montoya: I am wondering why you had to install the drivers for your ethernet device at all [05:17] good luck [05:17] speaking of wireless, what is the best way to get WPA support [05:17] BarryToeman: : thx [05:17] Anyone think they can help? [05:17] atrus, hadn't heard of that one, thatnks [05:17] same here zetheroo , i didnt have to do anything to ethernet... [05:17] I've tried chmod and chown [05:17] can anyone help me figure out why my computer plays all movies in black and white? [05:17] Montoya: why are you turning off your wifi [05:17] so he can use ethernet [05:17] Wargasm: yeah..... [05:17] Wargasm: they can both be on though [05:18] someone said only one can be used at a time, lmao [05:18] Is there a way to let loose of all applets on a panel? It's really a pain to arrange them [05:18] nicely: because it is black and white movie? [05:18] you can remove them i think wy [05:18] Wargasm: the one will automatically disconnect the other when it connects [05:18] no its Superbad [05:18] it does it regarldess of player [05:18] I just want to make them move [05:18] codecs probably [05:18] how do i automatically mount a fat32 disk on boot [05:18] why would they be black and white.. [05:18] brand0con: edit /etc/fstab [05:19] Montoya.... you still there? [05:19] but they are locked originally and I have to right click and choose unlock. move them and lock them back... [05:19] no he disabled wifi [05:19] lost connection [05:19] hello everyone, that didn't work :( [05:19] yeah hey welcome back [05:19] so whats wrong with your ethernet [05:19] it should work without any config [05:19] Montoya: don't worry abotu it [05:20] is it possible that my cable modem just sucks? [05:20] yeh [05:20] lol what mintoya [05:20] Montoya, i couldnt get my cable modem to work without using a router [05:20] Montoya: well are you certain that your modem is set up correctly? [05:20] ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [05:20] easy [05:20] power cycle it [05:20] Montoya: and are you certain that it is connecting to the internet? [05:20] hello everyone, my ethernet still did not work :( [05:20] montoya fresh installs youned to power cycle cable modems [05:21] Montoya: what device are you using? [05:21] I'm using a LiveCD and am trying to copy files from one of my hard drives to my external hard drive but am getting "You do not have permissions to write to this folder." chmod +x and chown -R haven't worked :/ Help? [05:21] it's a broadcom 4400 baset [05:21] hey [05:21] Skrypt: well, chmodding +x does nothing for write [05:21] skrytu try doing it under sudo [05:21] skrpt -> what is the format of the external drive? [05:21] ntfs [05:21] ntfs? [05:21] hey Montoya have you checked your restricted drivers yet? [05:22] yeah, i enabled the driver for broadcom [05:22] ok [05:22] everythings green there then right [05:22] Montoya: what the modem device? [05:22] monotoya power cycle modem!! [05:22] I don't think linux likes writing to ntfs.. you may need a special utility. normally it is read only [05:22] id try power cycling too [05:22] webstar [05:22] how do I power cycle? [05:22] when i boot up a new install of ubuntu server 7.04, it hangs at "* Running local boot scripts (/etx/rc.local) [OK]" [05:22] it should come up them [05:22] hey Montoya, you in a dorm? [05:22] Montoya: please be more specific [05:23] no, I have an apartment [05:23] oh [05:23] montoya unplug modem wait abought 10 20 sec plug back in [05:23] lockd, ntfs 3.1. do I need ntfs-3g? [05:23] i can't be much more specific, it's Cox cable Scientific Atlanta Webstar [05:23] I'll try power cycling, brb [05:23] flamsmark, try hitting return at that screen, do you get a login? [05:23] Montoya: do you know your modem? have you used it before? are you familiar with how to tell if it has made a successfull connection to the ISP? [05:23] montoya it refreseh the modems ip and macadrees witch change on a linux install [05:23] yes, cheers [05:24] Montoya: power cycling is powering the system off, waiting 10 seconds, then plugging it back in. [05:24] zetheroo: it works just fine with my desktop [05:24] Montoya: good to know [05:24] lol not system modem [05:24] before you power cycle [05:24] Montoya, check your PM [05:24] ... [05:24] but off system can help [05:24] PM? I see no PMs === Johnny_5 is now known as Johnny5_on [05:24] nickrud, can i install an x system on it? [05:24] Montoya: can you plug it into the desktop and see if its working? === Johnny5_on is now known as Johnny_5_on_leav [05:24] we are talking about my cable modem, right? because that's what I'm using to talk to you guys [05:25] guys, i have a webstar cable modem and it will not work without a router. [05:25] flamsmark, yes, sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg [05:25] i have had this issue and so do many of my frends it fixes it almost everytime [05:25] Montoya: wait with the whole power cycle thing [05:25] Wargasm, seriously? so I probably need to go buy a router [05:25] yes [05:25] Montoya: the cable modem.. it has a power cord which provides an electrical current to it, yes? [05:25] buy a router because it wouldnt work without one for me [05:25] Skrypt: you need ntfs-3g to write too, forgot about that [05:25] wargasm same thing power cycle [05:25] Gnea: yes, no wireless power yet [05:25] i tried for a whole day to get it to work [05:25] lockd, can i do that on a live cd? [05:25] Montoya: can you give me the model number of the device... the modem [05:26] Montoya: sorry, i came in a little late, so i missed the original problem.. [05:26] Montoya, check your PM on here [05:26] cheers, nickrud [05:26] Wargasm, how do you connect with your desktop? Windows? [05:26] when you change your system like no roughter new os and so on cable modems need to be power cycled [05:26] yes windows [05:26] I'm having problems with installation. Anyone know much about that? [05:26] I swear, I see no PMs here [05:26] oh ok sorry [05:26] Skrypt: I have no idea, but I'm fairly sure not - which limits a livecd's use for rescuing a system [05:26] he's not registered, so he can't PM [05:26] ah thats why [05:26] who wanted my model number? [05:26] Montoya: I am seriously trying to work you through a systematic 1-2-3 process of elimination here.... would help if you kept up.... [05:27] ok zetheroo, I have DPC2100R2 [05:27] Montoya: I am trying to get your modem model number [05:27] Wargasm, ignore me, listen to zetheroo [05:27] Montoya: thanks [05:27] do you need s/n or mac? [05:27] zetheroo, i have a webstar cable modem and it wont work for me without a router [05:27] What is a good program for converting between video formats under Linux? [05:27] CoasterMaster: ffmpeg, avidemux [05:27] Wargasm: have you read the documantation on it? [05:27] avisynt [05:27] i didnt get any documentation [05:27] so no [05:28] avisynth [05:28] wargasm power cycle [05:28] but if he can find his documentation maybe he will figure out how to use it [05:28] gogeta, i tried power cycle 50 times [05:28] doesnt do anything [05:28] humm [05:28] plug it into a linksys router and it works right away [05:28] it dsl? [05:28] its cable [05:29] cox [05:29] you did it and whent into linux correct [05:29] gogeta: what's that? i don't see it in an apt-cache search list. [05:29] yep it works fine in linux too [05:29] with a router [05:29] #ambon [05:29] but i havent tried without [05:29] Wargasm: can you recommend me a cheap router? [05:29] linksys is all ive used [05:29] you can get them for $50 [05:30] Wargasm: you know that sounds like the modem has been told to not perform the DHCP service! [05:30] lockd, if I formet the ntfs external to ext3, problem solved, right? [05:30] format* [05:30] it could be, zetheroo [05:30] Wargasm: you have to go inside and enable it [05:30] zetheroo: that would make sense. I did the DHCP request and got no OFFERS [05:30] Skrypt: oh, you don't care about the files on it? [05:30] yeah i dont know how to config it though zetheroo [05:30] Wargasm: have you ever tried to access the admin of the device? [05:30] zetheroo: i don't know if an admin exists [05:30] nope i dont know how zetheroo [05:31] there's nothing on the outside of the modem that tells you how [05:31] lockd, I don't care about the files on the external [05:31] and i didnt get any documentation [05:31] I care about getting the files off my internal harddrive [05:31] wargasm you do the cycle off the roughter [05:31] gogeta: no, that's been rehashed and resaid, and doesn't help [05:31] or maybe its a static ip [05:31] Wargasm Montoya: well granted this seems to be a very off-beat device... but nevertheless there must be a administrative area on the device [05:32] yeah i thought so too zetheroo [05:32] but i have no clue as how to access it [05:32] so i just gave up [05:32] and bought a router [05:32] lol you see.... my brother was put in jail so now his computer is mine... well I'm locked out of it but plan to get the passwords elsewhere (ophcrack and such didn't work) [05:32] Montoya Wargasm: have you tried to locate the gateway of the modem and go into Firefox and enter it into the URL are? [05:32] Skrypt: then blow it away, but of course it will only work on Linux/Mac (and windows with a ton of prodding) [05:32] how would I do that? It's worth a try [05:32] zetheroo, no i didnt try that [05:32] Skrypt: you blow the disk away if you don't care about his data [05:33] Skrypt: probably a good idea to "shred" it as well [05:33] Montoya, does your modem have any documentation? [05:33] I do care about his data... there's 3 terabytes here. :D [05:33] http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/ [05:33] Skrypt: incase of framing et al [05:33] Wargasm: I don't know, I can't find the box it came in [05:33] sorry had wrong name for the video encoder [05:33] Skrypt: err, etc [05:33] lockd, yeah but a little snooping first would be nice. [05:33] Montoya, if you cant find that try googling webstar [05:33] Wargasm Montoya: well you may need to perform a hard-reset of the device and then plug it into your machine directly with the Ethernet cable [05:34] yeah thats another thing i forgot to try, hard reset [05:34] you could give that a shot, Montoya [05:34] Wargasm Montoya: I have tried searching for your specific units, but the resources are very slim [05:34] does anybody here know how to use dual monitors on a laptop running gutsy [05:34] * ectospasm is away: Gone sleepin'... [05:34] akorn: haha... thats a fun one [05:34] Skrypt: well yeah, but nothing more can happen to him... [05:34] zetheroo Wargasm: I found the box, all it has is a CD [05:35] try running the cd [05:35] might have a setup program [05:35] like linksys does [05:35] nope, but I can salvage our family pictures [05:35] akorn: arg.... can't get into it now.... but I finally just left it alone ... until Hardy comes out.... unless you have an external with the same resolution as your native screen [05:35] and figure out where some of his personal effects are if I can get into his e-mail [05:35] zetheroo haha yea 'im realizing that now...right now i at least have my external monitor hooked up, but even tho the restolution is set to 1024x768 (and it's only a 15 inch monitor) a lot of the screen is getting cut off [05:35] yep I'm checking that out now [05:36] Skrypt: did you try running a Live CD and just examining the partitions? [05:36] Wargasm Montoya: oh glorious CD [05:36] zetheroo ahh that might be why eh...my laptop is at 1440 x 900 so i guess the 1024 x 768 isn't good news eh? [05:36] zetheroo i said that like 50 times to them [05:36] Wargasm Montoya: there has got to be a product manual in there [05:36] Skrypt: copy over stuff, you'll be able to use ext3 wherever it matters. I have an 80gb fat external, but that's just because I need to use so many windows computers [05:36] montoya, yes and there's much I want to save - hence needing to write to the external. [05:36] zetheroo what is Hardy?? [05:36] gogeta: ha.. I bet you have [05:36] csare [05:36] akorn: hardy heron [05:36] zetheroo, Montoya i live in a dorm, thats how i got the modem. but they didnt give us any documentation [05:36] lockd, there's a really great windows driver for reading/writing ext2/3 [05:36] akorn: the next release of Ubuntu [05:36] zetheroo aka power cycling [05:37] i like the name gutsy haha [05:37] gogeta: no.. we are looking in to performing a hard reset and then enabling DHCP [05:37] Skrypt: well, when you work with locked down windows machines... [05:37] zetheroo haha im still part noob [05:37] ah right [05:37] Wargasm: ahh I see [05:37] akorn: no worries [05:37] yeah thats why i gave up so quickly, its impossible to get that documentation [05:37] and i knew routers worked [05:37] well if you can, www.fs-driver.org is great. [05:37] because my roommate had his router on it and it worked fine all year [05:38] but then he moved out [05:38] and it stopped working [05:38] zetheroo i was planning on getting a 19 inch widescreen with the same resolution as my laptop, so that should work more easily then? [05:38] zetheroo lol what you think a powr cycle does lol it hard resets the modem [05:38] no it doesnt gogeta [05:38] it doesnt reset the config gogeta [05:38] zetheroo does on mine [05:38] it shouldnt... [05:38] it doesn't on mine either [05:38] it should keep it's configurations on flash memory [05:38] or some sort of memory [05:39] gogeta: ummm... hard reset actually takes place when you press a reset button on the device for a period of 4-10 seconds [05:39] its a ols motorla [05:39] two ways to do a hard reset, one is by telneting in and the other is by holding a reset switch a set amount of time [05:39] old [05:39] (on some linksys wireless routers) [05:39] gogeta: its more than just unplugging the device [05:39] the ubuntu 7.10 disk has a memory tester on it, doesn tit? [05:39] oh you mean roughter reset [05:39] yeah you have to hold the reset button for a hard reset [05:39] power cycling wont hard reset the device [05:39] wile 2 ways the bvuttion or unplugging for 10 muntus [05:39] and its a good thing too [05:39] both make it do a full reset [05:39] no it doesnt gogeta [05:40] the configurations will stay there if the power is lost [05:40] on my linksys yes [05:40] gogeta: no any device reset.... if yours resets when you unpower it then you have a defect item or a really old one [05:40] its in the doc [05:40] relly old [05:40] lol [05:40] it should not hard reset if it loses power gogeta [05:40] Wargasm zetheroo gogeta: I read the manual, absolutely NOTHING about admin [05:40] i hate............. dial-up [05:40] gogeta: yeah ok... I had one of those a few years back [05:40] that sucks Montoya.... [05:40] MontoyaL not good [05:40] oh [05:41] Wargasm: What do you expect? It's a telecom company provided device. It's locked up [05:41] if you hard reset a roughter the password 99% of the time will be admin admin [05:41] yeah i figured it was just all locked down too, Montoya [05:41] first question, how do I install a downloaded theme from gnome-look.org? already tried a few diff methods in the posts with no luck :( [05:41] Montoya: honestly I suggest selling that device for whatever you can get and then purchase a decent unit [05:41] or get a linksys wireless G router [05:41] that fixed everything for me [05:41] zetheroo: Yeah but I don't know what will work with my connection, so I prefer to just get a router [05:42] plus I'm moving soon, that will require a new plan witha different company and a new router [05:42] so wait Montoya [05:42] yeah, Montoya id def. go with the router then [05:42] second, I have downloaded the real vnc pro viewer, but have no clue how to install it [05:42] telecoms in the US suck, I'm always having problems like this [05:42] Wargasm Montoya: I think you could still get in.... if you get ahold of the gateway [05:42] zetheroo: How do I do that? [05:42] you can try that but, good luck. [05:42] Montoya: you said it works on your desktop fine! right? [05:43] zetheroo: Yes, I'm using it now! [05:43] lol [05:43] Montoya: well there you go.... its working fine wiothout a router [05:43] hmmm [05:43] Hello, I've made a batch script, and would like to run it without having to go into the terminal. I can do it by double clicking in the GUI, but it keeps asking me if I want to run it. Is there a specific extension that will bypass this. Like a "script" extension? Or is there a file property I can set? [05:43] lemmie guess [05:43] Montoya: so that proves that its not the device [05:43] zetheroo: yes, I'm puzzled by that. It works fine for WINDOWS VISTA and UBUNTU AMD-64 [05:43] Montoya: process of elimination my friend [05:44] Montoya: so,..... here we go... [05:44] told ya cyckling the modem works everytime [05:44] hi anyone there? [05:44] Montoya: can you get into the status of your present connection? [05:44] when I run Compiz-Fusion, I cannot select a whole theme from Emerald. The changes only affect the upper bar, while the rest of the window corresponds to the basic Ubuntu theme. What can I do? [05:44] roughters are another matter [05:44] lcphr3ak, give the script permission to be execute [05:44] zetheroo: The status... I can look at Network Connections [05:44] right click properties [05:45] hey folks. why is there no opera browser package in gutsy? [05:45] Montoya: there shoudl be a little network icon in your task bar [05:45] tremby we have firefox [05:45] Montoya: rightclick on it and click on status [05:45] this newfangled Vista is confusing [05:45] can anyone tell how to enable compiz snow effect ? ? [05:45] lcphr3ak, permissions [05:45] Montoya trashbin vista [05:45] gogeta: i know, but i like to use opera too sometimes, usually for testing purposes [05:45] hi can someone help me? [05:45] i'm sure i'm not alone there [05:45] Montoya: then locate gateway [05:45] lcphr3ak, allow execute file as program or something like that [05:45] i like vista [05:45] linrunix: I have, it runs fine, just wanted to make it sort of a "executable" style file. Where no prompting for Running in the terminal is needed [05:46] tremby, have you searched in add/remove apps? [05:46] tremby probly have it on there site [05:46] how do i enable compiz snow effect ? ? ? [05:46] Wargasm: i did aptitude search opera [05:46] zetheroo: okay, wait, I'm lost... where's that? [05:46] I work as a private computer technician and I do not support Vista [05:46] how do i enable compiz snow effect ? ? ? helllloooo ? [05:46] tremby, did you check opera.com [05:46] or whatever their site is [05:46] http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=linux [05:46] heh, you guys. I understand, but I still like Vista [05:46] Montoya: the network icon on your taskbar [05:46] thers it is with debs [05:46] Wargasm how do i enable compiz snow effect ? ? ? helllloooo ? [05:46] Wargasm: well they have binaries, but packages are nicer [05:46] linrunix: As in, i'm clicking on it through nautilus, instead of running ./script_bash in a terminal. I've already chmod +x 'ed it [05:46] how do i find the stats of my harddrives (ubuntu server) [05:46] Montoya, you arent alone. I like vista too [05:46] Montoya: right click and go to status [05:47] vista = suckage [05:47] zetheroo: You have to understand, that might work for XP but not in Vista! [05:47] hi when im installing linux and it boots from my cd it says running in low graphic and I choose to configure then it just freezes at the next screen saying something like /etc-local. [05:47] vista rocks [05:47] tahsin, im not sure. my graphics card wont support it so i never tried! [05:47] when I run Compiz-Fusion, I cannot select a whole theme from Emerald. The changes only affect the upper bar, while the rest of the window corresponds to the basic Ubuntu theme. What can I do? [05:47] vista>XP in plenty of ways [05:47] I like what vista has done for linux adoption :} [05:47] Montoya: ok... well since you like Vista so much... you should know where something like the network status info is... [05:47] if you have 8 gb of ram it might prefrerm as good as xp :) [05:47] lcphr3ak, let me try with one script [05:47] witrh 256mb of ram [05:47] 8-) [05:47] zetheroo: Vista is one of those OS where you shouldn't need that sort of thing... it does that stuff for your automatically [05:47] i hv 2 GB and it works well [05:47] gogeta: true true [05:47] eww vista... my housemate installed it last year and i wanted to print something in a hurry... it doesn't even come with a pdf reader [05:47] gogeta, all you need is 1-2gb ram [05:48] zetheroo: So now I'm screwed cuz I can't find it :) [05:48] ram is cheap, gogeta [05:48] guys plz tell me how to enable SNOW EFFECT in compiz [05:48] Montoya: ha.... its a retarded OS [05:48] tremby, download foxit reader it owns [05:48] tahsin: do you have the compiz configuration utility [05:48] trust me my 1 gb of ram xp setup can run cricles around a 4 gb vista setup [05:48] tahsin: ask in #compiz-fusion [05:48] Montoya: you should always be FULLY informed about what your computer is doing [05:48] tremby yes i have [05:48] and linux even worse [05:48] lol [05:48] tremby how do i just enable it [05:48] you're an idiot gogeta . [05:48] zetheroo: I'm not that kind of guy [05:48] Wargasm: oh, i don't use windows anymore. i was just trying to show how useless a clean install of vista is [05:48] linux with compiz off flys [05:49] zetheroo: I built my own desktop but I'm not that kind of guy, seriously [05:49] tahsin: you've switched on its module already? [05:49] Montoya: hmmmm.... then why Linux? [05:49] clean installs always feel bare, tremby [05:49] Wargasm: not of ubuntu [05:49] tremby yes [05:49] tremby: off topic, if Windows came with a PDF reader, they'd get sued by Adobe [05:49] linux/xp setup and when xp dies out linux only [05:49] zetheroo: because I can't afford to buy an OS for my old laptop [05:49] zetheroo: and I want something better than XP [05:49] Montoya: good reason\ [05:49] your in the right place then [05:50] zetheroo: If I can get the ethernet working, I'm done and good to go! [05:50] Ubuntu is easier to hunt apps down for [05:50] i like that [05:50] and it does come with pretty much everything you need [05:50] but i needed to get vlc and stuff [05:50] and the drivers sucked until gutsy [05:50] tahsin: then you just have to find out what the keyboard shortcut to switch it on is [05:50] tremby i knw the keyboard shortcut but i dont think its enabled [05:50] wargasam sudo apt-get install blabla [05:50] lol [05:50] when I run Compiz-Fusion, I cannot select a whole theme from Emerald. The changes only affect the upper bar, while the rest of the window corresponds to the basic Ubuntu theme. What can I do? [05:50] easy hunting [05:50] i know gogeta i already said that [05:51] lcphr3ak, it ask me too [05:51] Montoya: ok well now I am looking into finding the network status in Vista for you [05:51] like u said [05:51] die vista die [05:51] tahsin: i don't have compiz (it won't work with my tri-screen glory), so i can't tell you exactly which buttons to push. you'll just have to dig through the config until you find what you mean [05:51] yes I'm looking too [05:51] everyone who isnt using mac or linux will be using Vista in a few years [05:51] linrunix: Yeah :-/, I was hoping there was a file ext that I could set to bypass that [05:51] wake up gogeta [05:51] Montoya: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/efa4b632-6b53-4747-9811-baeff5ba403a1033.mspx [05:52] i shure whont [05:52] Montoya: i didn't catch the beginning of your conversation, but consider xfce (xubuntu) instead of gnome or kde -- it's much faster on slower hardware [05:52] zetheroo: i was just there [05:52] is this ##windows? [05:52] lcphr3ak, sure there is a way [05:52] upgrade to xp [05:52] you will, because all new pcs will come with it, gogeta [05:52] zetheroo: look at that screenshot, there's nothing there.... [05:52] Wargasm: ummm.... everyone who is not using Windows Vista or Mac will be using Linux in a few years [05:52] format c:/ [05:52] lol [05:52] is just that we dont know yet [05:52] Montoya: sucks ... huh [05:53] zetheroo: no they won't -- there are hundreds of obscure operating systems in use [05:53] guys, Ubuntu-offtopic [05:53] vista goes bye bye [05:53] zetheroo, if linux had good enough driver support and better for gaming everyone would use it RIGHT NOW [05:53] tremby: thats true.. but Iam not talking about them [05:53] zetheroo: it's trying to be like OSX, no need to show you numbers or data [05:53] true [05:53] Wargasm: take it to ##windows [05:53] linrunix: Yeah :-/, thanks for checking it out though [05:53] zetheroo: you used the word "everyone" [05:53] Wargasm, Linux has more drivers than any OS out there [05:53] hello guys. can anyone tell me if there is a rep with a pre-compiled ssl eggdrop bin ? [05:53] Wargasm: give it some time friend... look how far its already come [05:53] when I run Compiz-Fusion, I cannot select a whole theme from Emerald. The changes only affect the upper bar, while the rest of the window corresponds to the basic Ubuntu theme. What can I do? [05:54] tremby: tsk tsk.... don't make a big issue out of it [05:54] zetheroo: Here's another idea... if I install an older version, like feisty or dapper, will that work better? [05:54] oh, im very pleased with linux zetheroo it finally works on this gateway laptop. it's over a year old though! :( [05:54] Strangework: take a screenshot and show us [05:54] montoya probly not [05:54] how do i find out the stats of a mounted harddrive? [05:54] Wargasm: glad to hear it [05:54] zetheroo: Because everyone says 5150 Inspiron worked without any extra stuff... but that didn't happen for me :( [05:54] jrib: okee [05:54] this isnt vista linux gets better with new versions [05:54] Montoya: maby but not certain [05:54] anathematic: what kind of stats? [05:54] hi, i found ubuntu enought friendly to be apea;ing for non linux user [05:55] gogeta, vista gets better with every patch as well [05:55] gogeta: yes but I had this offline script to do ndiswrapper automatically and it said it didn't support my kernel cuz it's too new [05:55] zylmak: what is your question? [05:55] Montoya, get a 1501 [05:55] linrunix: what is that??? [05:55] what is the cd burning program called? [05:55] it works great for me xDDD [05:55] zylmak: glad to hear that.

I can't just buy another laptop because ubuntu won't work on this one! [05:55] but will have one after [05:56] thanks jrib [05:56] oh it used to say visist mentel heatlh [05:56] i [05:56] oops~ [05:56] gogeta: true we should really not be discussing windows here... my bad [05:56] offtopic guys [05:56] Montoya, move to the Dominican Republic, here money grows on trees [05:56] Montoya: and I am guessing that your linux is a fresh install of Gutsy? [05:56] i waited like a year for ubuntu to support this laptop, Montoya haha [05:56] zetheroo: Yes [05:56] i use crypt setup tu load /home at startup but it appear it dosent load automaticaly at start up [05:56] Montoya, but you cant buy nothing with that kind of money [05:56] brb [05:57] zetheroo: I've tried a bunch of stuff for the ethernet card though.... seriously, this laptop was running an old bootleg of XP a while ago and I just took the plunge and wiped it [05:58] lmfao [05:58] zetheroo: I had a good experience with ubuntu on my desktop and was expecting the same here.... -.- [05:58] i <3 bootlegged windows [05:58] montoya i didnt ask is it wireless [05:58] Montoya: so we are not even certain if the ethernet device in the laptop is totally savvy? === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [05:58] what program should I use to burn the ubuntu iso? [05:58] brophat: on windows? [05:58] no on ubuntu [05:58] gogeta: It's got ethernet and wireless, but I'm just trying to get the ethernet to work. It says it's working but it can't receive any packets [05:58] zetheroo: it's old. probably not savvy at all [05:58] brophat: right clcik open with cd/dvd creator [05:58] brophat: usually you can just right click the file and say burn to cd [05:59] Broc8897, I just right click, select burn to disk [05:59] hmmm interesting [05:59] Montoya: ok... did you by any chance ever assign an IP addres manually (static ip adress) in Windows ? [05:59] * nickrud 's finger twitch is weak [05:59] Montoya humm a old trick i used to do on that was a. power cycle and b. disbale ipv6 [05:59] Montoya, have you try the alternate cds [05:59] jrib: http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/9253/screenshotti9.png [05:59] tremby mine says "write to disc" is that what you are talking about? [05:59] zetheroo: on this laptop? I don't think so, but see, it wasn't mine, and the person before me had this at college, so I don't know how the college software f***ed up the settings === aRyn_ is now known as aRyn [05:59] jrib: the top bar is not 'human' geddit?? epic lols. [05:59] brophat: sounds about right, don't you think? [06:00] Montoya: on the desktop [06:00] Strangework: huh? you mean the buttons and stuff? [06:00] Montoya: did you ever manually have to configure the settings and IP addresses? [06:00] tremby i also have one that says "open wiith cd/dvd creator [06:00] zetheroo: when I need to get the internet working on the desktop, I do diagnose & repair, and yes, I think it configures it's own IP [06:00] brophat: i imagine they'll both do what you want to do. take your pick. [06:00] alright [06:00] Montoya: ok.... so there is nothing wrong with the modem! [06:01] zetheroo: yeah, I didn't think so. I think there is something wrong with my install or with the laptop... [06:01] help with installing themes please? [06:01] Montoya: if the modem is working automatically on the desktop then there is nothing wrong with it and it is working in DHCP mode [06:01] tyler_d: themes for what? [06:01] jrib: yah, minimize, maximize, x out, etc. [06:01] whats up everyone [06:01] zetheroo: OK, that's good to know. should I just try power cycling? [06:01] i have a question for anyone who broadcasts [06:01] Montoya: so what you need to focus on is the laptop device [06:02] Strangework: that 'x' is not from the human theme. It seems to be working [06:02] Montoya: no... don't touch the modem.... its working! [06:02] is it possible with ubuntu to record with audacity and broadcast using shoutcast with the same device? [06:02] because i can only do either/or right now [06:02] Montoya: what the laptop ethernet device? [06:02] jrib: oh yah, well, the bar changed properly, but the remainder of the window is human [06:02] hello people [06:02] zetheroo: broadcom 4401 base 100T [06:02] jrib: how do I change it so it exactly the other theme? [06:02] hi weasel [06:03] timsath, your name sounds familiar.. :\ [06:03] Montoya: ok.. and whats the laptop make and model? [06:03] thanks [06:03] jrib: window themes in gnome [06:03] Strangework: that is up to the gtk theme you use, not emerald. emerald only does window borders. Hit "customize" on the program you had open in the screenshot [06:03] zetheroo: More specifically, lspci reports BCM4401 100Base-T rev 01 [06:03] you listen to electronic music? [06:03] zetheroo: Dell Inspiron 5150 [06:03] tyler_d: system -> preferences -> appearance [06:03] Strangework: I DJ online... [06:03] Strangework: maybe you've heard some of my sets [06:04] jrib: downloaded a few from gnome-look but cannot install them through there... package returns errors [06:04] timsath: uhh, nah, nvm.. I am just strange. :P [06:04] does anyone know how i can change a partition from extended to primary? [06:04] Montoya: ok... give me a sec [06:04] Strangework: it's all good [06:04] tyler_d: do not extract the tar.gz, just drag it as a tar.gz [06:04] Strangework: do you know anything about allowing to programs to use the same soundcard? [06:04] jrib: Only borders?? damn.. I dint know that.. hehehe. [06:04] i think zetheroo is googling [06:04] jrib: yup [06:04] linrunix: too right you are [06:04] timsath: nah, I am techie-retarded. sorryy :( [06:05] Strangework: it's cool...im just trying to figure this out, i'm sure it is something simple [06:05] tyler_d: then the tar.gz probably was not created correctly. Open it up and look inside [06:05] jrib: so how do I deactivate Emerald so it is all based on the GNOME display manager [06:05] Hmm, where can I get the SOAP::Lite perl module required by Konversation? [06:06] looks fine [06:06] Slynderdale: CPAN [06:06] jrib: tried dl'ing a few times [06:06] Strangework: don't know about that if you want to keep effects. Play around in the compiz preferences, or try #compiz-fusion if no one knows here [06:06] jrib: extracted as a test [06:06] jrib: still nothing [06:06] Montoya: CPAN? [06:06] tyler_d: it's not a download issue, it's a packaging issue [06:06] Montoya, sorry i'm late... but u say u have a windows on the laptop and the ethernet works with windows? [06:06] Slynderdale: Try perl MCPAN on the command line [06:06] Montoya, u have dual-boot? [06:06] tyler_d: what is inside? [06:06] linrunix: No, the laptop only has Ubuntu. My desktop has a dual boot [06:07] Montoya, did u check the BIOS maybe theres something [06:07] jrib: there's a channel for that? niice! imma check it out. thanks! :D [06:07] or a BIOS upgrade [06:07] Montoya: have you been here and downloaded the Linux drivers for your device? http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/4401.php [06:07] Slynderdale: all Perl modules come from: http://www.cpan.org/ [06:07] I'm upgrading from Fiesty to Gutsy and my system has stopped at restarting HAL Daemon,. [06:07] jrib: ok, meaning? [06:07] zetheroo: I tried that! But I couldn't MAKE [06:07] does anyone know the name of a graphical tool for setting up disks, partitions, etc? [06:08] Montoya: did you follow the readme? [06:08] gparted SpudDogg [06:08] linrunix: I guess I could do that [06:08] zetheroo: I think I did, I tried it many times [06:08] linrunix: thanks man [06:08] ok [06:08] let me look at that again === Ttech is now known as Bill [06:09] is this an ok place to ask wine questions? === Bill is now known as Bill_Gates [06:09] my run-parts doesn't show *anything* when I --test my cron.hourly, what could cause that? [06:09] zetheroo: yes, yes, I followed the readme. It was worthless. Totally didn't make as described [06:09] how much should i reserve for gutsy /boot partition? 20 MB? some time ago initrd used to be like 5 MB and kernel 1 MB. stille? and how much filesystem eats up from that space? [06:10] i've tried just about everything [06:10] Montoya: so you extracted the package and then tried to perform the make command in the folder === Bill_Gates is now known as Ttech [06:10] zetheroo: Yep. Tons of errors. Nothing made [06:10] weird, maybe it doesn't like my .py file [06:10] Montoya: what errors? [06:10] zetheroo: This is why I was wondering if an older distro would work better [06:10] Hello all, I am having problems seeing a SMB network share from a recent Gutsy install off of my file server. I can see it from Windows, and the server can see itself, but I cannot see it from Ubuntu. The server is running Dapper. [06:10] Montoya: can you pastebin? [06:10] zetheroo: Let me retry it so I can pastebin the errors [06:10] zetheroo: This will take some time [06:11] Montoya: ok [06:11] hi, I just rebooted from a system hang (freeze), and Firefox won't display Web pages. I can ping my router, but I cannot access it via the browser, anyone can help? [06:11] i'm using a wireless connection [06:11] restart it? [06:11] did that [06:11] !pastebin [06:11] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:11] ok so i changed ip addresses on a computer and now i cant ssh into it and when i restart sshd it says it cant load the rsa and dsa keys [06:11] any clue how to fix that? [06:12] jrib: nm man, thanks for your help. appreciate the effort :) [06:12] does any one else have a problem with youtube on ubuntu 7.10 [06:12] does anyone know how i can change a partition from extended to primary? [06:12] are the rsa/dsa keys specific to ip address? [06:12] Anyone in here able to help figure out a network file share / SMB problem? [06:12] Montoya, what is your card is disable on the bios? [06:12] gogzmer: ask [06:12] **if [06:13] tyler_d: I meant double click on it, extract it, and tell me the list of files [06:13] I am having problems seeing a SMB network share from a recent Gutsy install off of my file server. I can see it from Windows, and the server can see itself, but I cannot see it from Ubuntu. The server is running Dapper. Any ideas on where to start? [06:13] linrunix: I'll check that later, doing a pastebin now [06:14] does anyone have problems with the Broadcom microcode? I often run into system freeze, and I start to suspect that this is the problem [06:14] Whats a good FTP client with a decent GUI for K/Ubuntu? [06:14] gogzmer: first thing to look at is to ensure server names are consistent, dns is working properly. you -can- ssh into this box? [06:15] <_blitz_> I have a .wmv file which is encrypted and hence i am unable to play it.what is to be done so that i can play this file? [06:15] _blitz_ : because of DRM, you can't [06:15] Hi, I've got some MS Access databases, some of which include forms, that I would like to migrate to something more open. Suggestions, anyone? Thanks [06:15] zetheroo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48410/ [06:16] <_blitz_> yanick : but it was a torrent ! [06:16] who has ubuntu 7.10 [06:16] LOWER_CASE: If they're simple databases[tables], port it over to [my]|[postgres]sl and use php for the first few iterations. [06:16] jahnkeanate1: i expect most of us do by now [06:16] zetheroo: This one bothers me muchly: "error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory " [06:16] Montoya: hang on [06:17] k can you go to youtube [06:17] If you're more confiedent, and it's a simple access app, I might over to RoR [06:17] my comp freezes [06:17] jahnkeanate1 : do you have a broadcom wireless card? [06:17] it might be the plugin [06:17] no [06:17] C1t1zenJ0hn: I have full access to the server, it is attached to the same monitor I am at, and connected, network-wise, through a switch. Like I said, I have no problems accessing it from Windows, but in Gutsy, the server does not even show up on the network, let alone the file shares. [06:17] my comp is wired [06:18] C1t1zenJ0hn, some are just addresses, etc, one includes 1/2 dozen forms that I don't want to lose. [06:18] Montoya: yeah.. thats probably what tripping the whole thing up [06:18] Can I assign any action to any key? For instance, cuold I change the "K" key to open firefox when pressed? [06:18] I got a DELL that freezes also, and I suspect the microcode to be responsable, and I can't find any other explanation [06:18] zetheroo: It seems like it's just plain lousy... any idea if it's looking for a common config.h on Ubuntu? [06:18] Montoya: I read up on that card a bit more and it seems its a real dud [06:18] zetheroo: That's a shame :( [06:18] Montoya: yeah [06:19] Montoya: BUT.... have you a Ubuntu Feisty CD? [06:19] Slynderdale, I use BeyondCompare in WINE! Works like a charm, you don't need to register, and you get a great comparison tool. [06:19] Montoya: you should try it is you have it [06:19] zetheroo: I burned my own CD, it's in the drive [06:19] C1t1zenJ0hn: I also cannot see shares from the Gutsy box on the server box [06:19] Montoya: a Ubuntu Feisty CD? [06:19] what does this mean?make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [06:19] zetheroo: I don't know what the CD will do for me, I've tried a bunch of stuff already [06:19] gogzmder: can the gutsy machine see the wndows machine? [06:19] I am trying to compile a program [06:19] zetheroo: OH feisty! I mentioned that a while ago!!! [06:20] thenetduck: what program? [06:20] C1t1zenJ0hn: nope [06:20] Montoya: what I am saying is that you should try Ubuntu Feisty instead of Gutsy [06:20] jrib, tomboy [06:20] zetheroo: I can burn a feisty CD, sure [06:20] LOWER_CASE: Isn't beyond compare a commercial software? [06:20] jrib, I can't even do a "make" [06:20] thenetduck: tomboy is packaged in the repositories. Why would you compile it? [06:20] zetheroo: But if I'm going back, why not 6.06 LTS? [06:20] how do i make ubuntu stop mounting a partion when i reboot [06:20] jrib, I want the latest version of it, it doesn't have the latest version available [06:20] Montoya: well look at this http://wicd.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php?id=testing [06:21] jahnkeanate1: add the "noauto" option to your fstab [06:21] jrib, i wanted to use checkinstall to make a .deb aswell [06:21] Montoya: the device was tested in Feisty and was working [06:21] Yes, but I use it at work -- use at home is allowed under their licence. [06:21] ubuntu keeps mounting my windows partion [06:21] zetheroo: OK, yeah, may as well try that then [06:21] It is not possible to add files bigger than 4.0 GB: [06:21] /home/cyborg/Desktop/Serenity.mkv ... (7.9GB file) the disk is dl [06:21] fstab? [06:21] thenetduck: that's usually not a good reason. What does the version in the repositories not do right? [06:21] zetheroo: Where can I download Feisty??? [06:21] jahnkeanate1: /etc/fstab [06:22] Montoya: torrent? [06:22] !fstab > jahnkeanate1 (read the private message from ubotu) [06:22] jrib, I want to have a plugin, Note of the day. But the current version doesn't let me have that plugin [06:22] you mean the mirrors don't have feisty up anymore??? [06:22] !compiling > thenetduck (read the private message from ubotu) [06:22] jrib, I have version .8 [06:22] Montoya: you can even test it in the LIveCD session ... that will save you heaps of time [06:22] Slynderdale, apart from that I have used GFTP & it's quite qood -- I've never had hassles with it. [06:23] i dont have that file [06:23] thenetduck: you need to read that page. Among other things, it should explain you need to do "sudo aptitude install build-essential && sudo apt-get build-dep tomboy" [06:23] jrib, ok thank you [06:24] oh wow, you can find old releases here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ [06:24] thenetduck: also, pay attention to output when you run commands. They need to complete successfully before you proceed to the next step [06:25] Montoya.. thats great [06:25] Montoya: well, for old releases you want http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [06:25] ok everyone, unrelated to my prior problem: my amd_64 desktop ubuntu is F***ED, the graphics drivers seem to not be working so I can't load the graphical interface at all [06:25] Who said my name before o.O [06:26] Montoya: man .. where ddi that come from? [06:26] Quick question: How exactly is hd(x,y) setup? Like (hd1,3) and such. [06:26] hey guys im having a issue with my nvidia drivers i did a fresh install of ubuntu after that i downloaded the drives from nvidias website it worked fine [06:26] zetheroo: I have no idea.... it was working yesterday, but today I tried loading the graphical display and I got this horrible error interface... I could only run safe mode [06:26] then i updated ubuntu and now my drivers are all messed up [06:27] ok [06:27] Montoya: thats a shame.. what card? [06:27] I don't have `man 2 poll` on a desktop Feisty. What package am I missing? [06:27] would reinstalling firefox fix the youtube problem [06:27] Montoya: have you made any changes recently? [06:27] Montoya, did you update your xserver-xorg [06:28] or kernel upgrade? [06:28] zetheroo: nvidia geforce 8600gt [06:28] or something upgrade? [06:28] With separate partitions how would I find out the hd(1,y) number of it? [06:28] linrunix: I think so... I always do all availalbe updates when I start Ubuntu [06:28] Montoya, that was the problem [06:28] Montoya: you know you can also run the x86 version of Ubuntu on a 64 bit machine [06:28] linrunix: Darn, I was afraid of that... [06:29] zetheroo: is that a good idea? Is it slower? [06:29] zetheroo, and that's the best choice [06:29] Montoya, is the best thing you can do... [06:29] Montoya: honestly you will not tell the diff [06:29] zetheroo: So, how can I go about rewriting my linux partition with a 386??? [06:29] a least that's why i did [06:29] zetheroo: I don't want to lose my other partitions [06:29] **what [06:29] why did Ubuntu whacked my Windows XP boot file? [06:30] Montoya: no worries.. just get the x86 CD and boot into it and install the same way you did ther first time [06:30] zetheroo linrunix: I have a Vista partition and a file partition, and GRUB for bootloading... I just want to overwrite the linux partitions [06:30] zetheroo: Really? That wont'touch the other partitions... good stuff then [06:30] okay I will be back later, I have a lot of stuff to try now [06:30] Montoya: yes... then in the install wizard do the partitioning manually [06:30] hey [06:31] Montoya, you just gotta know which is your linux partition [06:31] how can i reboot the x-server on my machine? [06:31] Would my third partition on my first HDD be hd(0,3)? [06:31] ok thanks guys [06:31] Ubuntu is dangerous though. First time I installed Linux as dual boot with XP and Ubuntu whacked my XP boot files. [06:31] Montoya: make sure you assign the install to the already created ext3 partition [06:31] Ctrl + Alt + Backspace flamsmark [06:31] ok [06:31] lol [06:31] Montoya: make very sure!!! [06:31] ha [06:31] flamsmark did it right away [06:32] how did you make ubotu send me a message [06:32] hey guys how do i uninstall the nvidia drives that come with ubuntu [06:32] ZeeO, uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx [06:32] ZeeO, erm, do, wrong chipset :) === amidaniel|away is now known as amidaniel [06:33] nickrud: you sure abotu that? [06:33] im runing a 6800 oc gt [06:33] zetheroo, already told him I had the wrong chipset [06:33] nickrud: fglrx is for ati... no? [06:33] ubotu: jahnkeanate1: hi [06:33] nope [06:33] Would my third partition on my first HD be hd(0,3)?

[06:44] flamsmark, does that even exist? [06:45] i have no idea, nickrud, but i'm getting told that i need it [06:45] flamsmark, you'll need to change kernels, install linux-generic , that will install that package for -generic [06:46] ok [06:46] flamsmark, doesn't exist here, the one for server [06:46] can anyone help me with a partition table issue?

[06:58] seems to timeout when I try it that way [06:59] Hey, just asking again too see if anyone else knew; I made a script that has executable attributes. I want to load it without loading it directly from the terminal. As in loading nautilus, and then double clicking the file/script. It will let me run it, but it asks me if I want to run it in a terminal or edit it. Is there a file extension or an attribute that will make the script automatically run in a terminal, instead of asking? [06:59] what plugin do i need to play videos on youtube [07:00] non-free flash [07:00] anyone know where i can download wl_apsta.o ? [07:00] flamsmark, try this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+bug/65635/comments/2 [07:00] adobe [07:00] where can i get that [07:00] jahnkeanate1: you'd probably have the easiest time looking into automatix2 [07:00] Google that and it will solve most of your filetype and plugin problems [07:01] thanks nickrud [07:01] (automatix isn't a pariah here is it?) [07:01] \pretty sure automatix is a pariah everywhere [07:02] !automatix [07:02] automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [07:02] except with its users which should say something [07:02] it keeps saying i already installed adobe [07:02] preaction, if you had seen all the upgrade issues that automatix causes ... [07:02] nono, i agree, i'm just saying that it fills a niche [07:02] nuckrud, that'd probably do it; but i decided to reinstall it (it'd been installed for a grand total for about an hour so far), this time adding ubuntu desktop as one of the primary functions [07:03] isforinsects, its use is discouraged because of all the problems we've had. at release time it can be as much as 1/4 of questions related to fixing script-caused kabooms relating to automatix and envy [07:03] flamsmark, heh, probably not a bad choice. If you want a desktop, install a desktop :) [07:03] well exactly [07:03] I don't use it myself [07:05] nickfs, i'm sure there are a good few other people who want to have one computer to use as a single-user server and workstation [07:05] I'm working on staying on the golden path of no non-free. [07:05] But it's slow :( [07:05] flamsmark, that what I have here. But it's primarily a desktop, so I installed it that way then added server functions as needed [07:05] hey guys whats a good program to add music to my videos? [07:06] but the 'lamp working right out of the box for your convenience' is just so tempting [07:07] flamsmark, sudo aptitude install apache2 php5 mysql-server-5.0 . Done :) [07:07] hey guys whats a good program to add music to my videos? [07:07] what can i install in synaptic to make youtube work [07:07] nickrud, is there any point in installing the edubuntu/gobuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu desktop roles at install if i'm already asking for the ubuntu desktop one? [07:08] nickrud, i'll bear that in mind next time [07:08] flamsmark, not really, the kubuntu and xubuntu variants have desktops that you might like, they take up space but live nicely together === pragma_ is now known as veronica_ [07:09] hi [07:09] hello [07:09] dont forget to bring a towl [07:09] lol [07:10] nickrud, assuming that i have an infinte hdd, is it more likely to save or make trouble down the road? [07:10] why does it keep ading a 1 to my name [07:10] flamsmark: no point installing them unless you plan to use them [07:11] tremby, ok [07:11] flamsmark, neither [07:13] flamsmark, xubuntu is really nice for slower machines, kubuntu is as functional as gnome/ubuntu, but a different philosophy. If you have the bandwidth and space, you should check it out (disclaimer, I don't like it) [07:13] i guess i'll install it and give it a try from time to time [07:13] i don't find that kde takes any more memory/cpu time than gnome [07:13] what is a good linux for gaming [07:14] if the rumours are true, the new version coming out soon takes 40% less memory than the current, even with its added functionality and eyecandy... [07:14] apparently kde 4 takes up less than the previous, notwithstanding eye candy [07:14] :) [07:14] indeed [07:14] jahnkeanate1: none really, unfortunately. depends what games you want to play [07:14] tremby, neither do I, but it just doesn't tickle my fancy. Just personal prefs. [07:14] jahnkeanate1: if you're like me and all you want to play is id games and deus ex, you'll be fine [07:14] so, potentially worth having just to see [07:15] i might use a virtual box and dual boot windows xp === atm0sph is now known as at0sph [07:15] or use cedege or wine === at0sph is now known as atm0sph [07:15] unfortunately, if you're like me and want to play portal, times might be harder [07:15] jahnkeanate1: dual booting is indeed the best solution if you want to play the latest games. not sure what you'd want the virtual machine for though [07:15] can nebody help with a mesa driver compile on 64 bit ubuntu [07:16] make it easy i can always just boot into windows [07:16] hrm [07:16] that may work [07:16] I dont play games [07:16] I don't mess around [07:16] :| [07:16] * linrunix is going to sleep Sun Dec 16 03:14:49 AST 2007 [07:16] jahnkeanate1: you don't need a virtual machine for that -- you want a virtual machine if you want to boot windows /within/ your linux session (or the other way around) [07:16] ok [07:17] * nickrud thinks games are the primary use for computer chips [07:17] will that make windows more secure [07:17] *shrug* [07:17] * atm0sph has a 360 [07:17] Hello, I am having a problem on my new laptop. It is a HP pavilion 9628, and I can't get the wireless to work. I tried the restricted manager for bcm43xx but that failed, so I removed it and now my wireless interface is gone (just eth1 and lo remain). how can I add back my wireless interface? [07:17] me two [07:17] jahnkeanate1: you should know, though: it's much easier to set up a dual booting machine if you install windows first, then linux. [07:17] yea [07:17] isn't cedega quite good now? [07:17] jahnkeanate1: windows will just be windows when that's booted [07:18] lol [07:18] linux is more flexable when you are installing it [07:18] michel [07:18] does any one know a good spyware remover [07:18] * nickrud notes atm0sph 's computer chip in a box [07:18] I am almost positive I configured it correctly with ndiswrapper, but I have no wireless interface according to ifconfig/iwconfig! Someone please help [07:18] they install spyware in ubuntu? [07:19] jahnkeanate1: ubuntu [07:19] jahnkeanate1, you might need to ask in ##windows for that [07:19] what do you mean [07:19] !laptop [07:19] Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org [07:19] jahnkeanate1: you're very unlikely to need one on linux. if you mean on windows, i make people use adaware and spybot search and destroy [07:20] jahnkeanate1: often one finds things the other didn't [07:20] i am using spybot but windows is still runing slow [07:20] any 1 know a good final fantacy irc channel? [07:20] that's because spybot isn't real [07:20] can anyone help please?

The only thing you can do is install ubuntu instead of windows [07:21] proxy* [07:21] jahnkeanate1: oh i think i see what you mean -- you want to scan your windows partition from within linux?

[07:24] haha u [07:24] k* [07:25] well, my issue is with the driver load [07:25] loading* [07:25] I was wondering if there was a way to have the camera driver load during login or something, so I don't have to wait 3-5 mins for it to load everytime I plug the camera in (USB) [07:25] and yes, scoured google and specifically the Ubuntu forums. I can patch X if need be [07:25] shri: why are you compiling glut? [07:25] lorddicranius, are you trying to take photos with it, or just use the card? [07:26] i'm sure it's 20 or 30 lines at most [07:26] flamsmark: just use the card [07:26] i'm not i'm compileing mesa dor i965 driver [07:26] for* [07:26] but I would rather another solution to let me avoid downloading the whole X server sources [07:26] flamsmark, the pics are already on the CF card which is still in the camera when I plug the camera in via USB [07:26] lorddicranius, ignore the camera, just plug in the card - you'll probably get a better data rate too [07:27] shri: are you using 7.10? [07:27] flamsmark, I don't have a slot for the card on my laptop [07:27] Gnea: yeah...64bit version [07:27] asking on xorg because it's a very very generic question which can be applied to virtually every nix [07:27] flamsmark, so the only way for me to transfer the pics is via USB [07:28] as a longtime photographer, even on windows, i was using a pcmcia cf card adapter to swap photos [07:28] flamsmark: ah, I don't have one of those :( [07:28] shri: so why not install libgl1-mesa-glx and xlibmesa-glu? [07:28] Gnea: That did not help. I am looking how to create an interface that accidentally got remove [07:29] i still cant use youtube [07:29] ok let me try that [07:29] lorddicranius well, you can either follow the inctructions of these fine people, or spend eight dolars [07:29] nault: have you looked at any of the laptop pages for your model, or close to your model?

[07:30] * atm0sph rocks out to Counting Crows [07:30] hey guys. my DVD-writer is at /dev/scd0 but lately when I boot up, the file doesn't exist (and I can't mount/burn/etc). anyone know where to start looking? [07:30] rico: what changed? [07:30] I have bought a creative zen mp3 player that I want to use with Ubuntu. When I plug it in nothing happens. Amarok sees no devices to connect to. libmtp is installed. [07:31] Gnea, none really [07:31] none that i can remember at least [07:31] rico: no upgrades, added users? [07:31] automatic updates? [07:31] rico, look in /var/log/dmesg , there should be something about that device [07:31] nothing in dmesg [07:31] that was quick [07:31] Gnea, just the usual auto-updates [07:31] * nickrud thinks rico 's done the footwork [07:32] Gnea: I somehow removed an interface. I want to get it back. Nothing more, nothing less. The rest I can do on my own. Why do you think looking at a laptop guide would help me with the generic problem of creating an interface that was removed? [07:32] rico: cat /proc/scsi/scsi <-- anythign there? [07:32] Gnea, it shows my hard drive, no cd drive thogh. [07:32] *though [07:32] gnash makes my comp freez [07:32] !Restricted [07:32] 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 [07:33] nault: just look at the page and see if it's there - maybe the problem's been solved already or maybe there's simply no solution at all. [07:33] * Gnea is not down for reinventing the wheel. [07:34] rico: weird... can you open/close the drive physically? [07:34] Gnea, yep. [07:34] does youtube need java [07:35] it's a laptop by the way, compaq v3500 if that information is somehow pertinent :) [07:35] rico: how often have you rebooted the system since this started to occur, rougly? [07:35] *roughly [07:35] jahnkeanatel: shouldn't, youtube should only need flash to play videos [07:35] no idea :/ [07:35] didn't check [07:35] rico: have you tried reseating the cd drive? [07:35] k [07:35] hey, are there any standalone flash players for ubuntu? [07:35] that sight gave me a comand and it is installing java [07:35] or booting a cd just to see if it's actually reading [07:36] Gnea, reseating? [07:36] skar: gnash, but it's glitchy [07:36] jahnkeanatel: youtube gave u a command? [07:36] vlc will play flv 's [07:36] no [07:36] hmm, i can't find a bootable cd in my area right now hehe, though I will try with Windows later [07:36] hencethus, ah, will it replace my firefox flash plugin though? [07:36] i dont rember [07:36] oh hehe [07:36] Gnea: Still came up with the same error when i type "make linux-dri-x86-64" [07:36] it is the same paste [07:36] rico: yes, as in, turning the system off, unplugging the power, pulling the battery, pulling the drive out of the unit, using canned air to clear out any dust, then putting it back in and booting it up again [07:37] someone toled me to tell ubutu !restricted [07:37] Hi everyone!! I am installing to external USB, things are looking ok now, I disabled the 3 autorun featured for external disks, but 'guided partitioning' won't work [07:37] hencethus, or is there a way to just get the gnash player without the firefox plugin? [07:37] Gnea, eck, Ive never tried opening my laptop :( [07:37] so i am using manual partitioning, and I am just searching for some 'good numbers' to use [07:37] or told ubotu something [07:37] shri: no - try using X without compiling it and see if it works or not [07:37] skar, i'm not sure. but nickrud says vlc will play flvs. that's probably your best bet [07:37] it is a 750gb drive, thinking a system, server, tv, media and swap setup (make sense?) at 100,180,400,60,10 gb [07:38] jahnkeanatel: ah, I see. yeah, the ubuntu-restricted-extras will install mp3 playback, java, etc. [07:38] hencethus, oo...will it play swf's? [07:38] rico: ack... it shouldn't be too difficult [07:38] ok...thanx i'll try that [07:38] jahnkeanatel: all the non-free "goodies" :-P [07:38] I created the server partition (files I am synching to a remote server of same size...) but, where should I put it as mount? [07:38] Gnea, hmm, I'm going to try it out in Windows first I guess (this is a dual boot system) and see if it works there too. [07:38] it lets me keep mount blank... [07:38] rico: but yeah, if you've never done it before... see if you can reboot with an ubuntu cd [07:38] ok [07:38] rico: see if it will boot it [07:38] anyone use AWN? [07:38] rico: right on [07:38] Gnea, would that be equally effective than trying to boot from it? btw, GRUB used to pause when it sees there's a cd in the drive. now it doesn't. [07:39] okay, I'll check it out now, be back in a bit. [07:39] i just installed ubuntu on this comp and i went to youtube and the comp crashed [07:39] i think it was gnash [07:39] jahnkeanate1, your 'comp' crashed, or did firefox crash? [07:39] rico: try that out first [07:39] firefox froze and i had to restart my comp [07:39] if any partitioning wizard just wants to hold my hand through this process, I think I have the partition setup 'ok' but don't want another reboot cycle if I am wrong... [07:39] :p [07:39] I managed to setup the game aleph one on my computer, but now I wish to play a mod of the game, I am not sure how to set it up, could someone help me? [07:40] skar, probably. try vlc. if it won't plays swfs then look into gnash [07:40] jahnkeanate1: if firefox freezes, you should be able to recover without rebooting :) [07:40] jahnkeanatel: yeah, gnash is still a little buggy. I've had problems getting youtube videos to play with it. I just installed the flashplugin-nonfree package for video playback on youtube. [07:40] the mouse wouldent even move [07:40] hencethus, awesome, thanks for the help [07:40] i weighted 5 min and just held the power button down [07:41] huh [07:41] whats cook'n guys [07:41] your brain [07:41] :) [07:41] heh. mine is [07:41] no no drugs today mon [07:41] lol [07:41] I want the analogy of 'system + data' partitions [07:42] but have no clue what to put as mount points [07:42] jahnkeanatel: one other thing you could try when things seem to freeze up like that is pressing CTRL+ALT+Backspace. that'll restart the X server and kick you back out to the login screen. If that doesn't work though, really the only thing left to do is what you did: hold down the power button for a few seconds to shut it down hard, then boot it back up [07:42] using manual partition on ubuntu live install cd [07:42] / and /var ? [07:42] yeah? well, I have server,tv,media as my 'drives' so I could just use /server /tv /media ?? [07:42] LordDicranius: don't forget control-alt-f1 to get a text terminal [07:43] yea i dont like holding down the button [07:43] jahnkeanate1: instead of the power button, you could also try, after ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work: alt-sysrq-b [07:43] tremby, ah yes, thank you :) [07:43] jahnkeanate1: it will do an 'emergency reboot' [07:43] ok [07:43] i think once the mouse wont move i just hit the power button [07:43] anyone use curve theme on AWN? [07:44] Gnea: have u ever gotten that ctrl+sysreq+ combo to work? [07:44] LordDicranius: for *years*. [07:44] LordDicranius: but it's alt-sysrq [07:44] Gnea: err, yeah. that's what I meant haha [07:44] :-p [07:44] :) [07:44] works best like this though: SUIEIESUB [07:44] Gnea: maybe my fingers were thinking "CTRL" when I tried it haha [07:45] heh yeah [07:45] gnea: reboots? we don't have don't have any reboots in ubuntu :-D [07:45] kitofhawaii: unless there's a kernel update ;) [07:45] kitofhawaii: i do now and then, but i tend to attribute that to poor design with firefox and gnome ;) [07:45] Hello. Where I can find locale configuration file? [07:45] I managed to setup the game aleph one on my computer, but now I wish to play a mod of the game, I am not sure how to set it up, could someone help me? [07:45] Gnea: haha true [07:45] * Gnea running E17 now with no slowdowns and plenty of eyecandy [07:46] Gnea: E17 = Enlightenment? [07:46] goodhabit: of? [07:46] LordDicranius: yes [07:46] i was using e17 back when they started developing it in the 90s [07:46] Gnea: thanks. gonna have to try that soon. how do u think E17 compares to fluxbox? [07:46] Gnea, to generating system locales. [07:46] ivan: same here, although i believe it was called e0.13.3 or something [07:47] devicebusy [07:47] i cant weight for Christmas i am building a comp with 3.2 Ghz dual core [07:47] LordDicranius: i like e17 better, but i haven't tried it much on legacy systems [07:47] best comp i have used so far [07:48] we just built a 64bit dualcore 3.6ghz comp [07:48] I have a dhcp3 setup, can I force the server to listen on just one card ? netstat is showing the line "udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:67 ... " [07:48] Gnea: I see. I just installed fluxbox on a spare PC I test stuff out on, and all the apps seem to run slow on it :-\ I was gonna try Enlightenment next [07:48] how mutch was the processor [07:49] mine is 64bit to [07:49] i spent $180 but it didnt come with a heat sink [07:49] Gnea: it is a pretty old/basic PC though. Running Gnome puts some strain on it haha [07:49] 'Can't have end before start' using manual partition, I created a 100, 180 and then 400 partitions, each one 'primary' (probably my mistake there) the 400 gives the 'can't have end before start' error [07:49] Hmm, anyone know of a good gmail notification application for linux? [07:50] 750g SATA-II, 4gb DDR2, Geforce4 SLI with 660megs, 28" flat panel display, logitech surround sound speaker system, audigy2 [07:50] LordDicranius: fluxbox tends to run pretty well on any system, e17 tends to run alright too [07:50] jahnkeanate1: don't remember [07:50] i only have 80 gb but i got the drive because it was $40 and it has 3Gbps [07:51] i am on a budget [07:51] the case has a ton of glowy blue and red cathode lights in it [07:51] we did this for class :) [07:51] i love going to school again [07:51] i have $400 and what i can get for Christmas [07:51] we just spent nearly 3k on it [07:52] *gasp* I'd LOVE to spend $3k on a PC [07:52] was it comp science [07:52] as Weezer put it, "Only in dreams..." :-P [07:52] yeah, the only thing that sucks was that they ... installed.... vista... [07:52] i am spending like $550 on mine [07:52] oooooh nooooo [07:52] i'm tempted to go in there this week with an ubuntu 64bit 7.10 disk, throw another HD in there and install it [07:52] i have a case [07:52] just to see how it'll run [07:52] hahaha [07:52] on a 28" HDMI display [07:53] go for it ;) [07:53] oh i'm gonna [07:53] hehe [07:53] i will fully pimp the compiz out on it too [07:53] 8-) [07:53] and i'll make a video while i'm at it and put it on youtube [07:53] Gnea: dont forget to talk like xzibit [07:53] lsusb sees my creative player, but I can't connect to it. any help appreciated :-) [07:53] mosno: who? [07:54] I have a question...is there any good place to find themes for ubuntu? [07:54] Gnea: the guy from Pimp My Ride [07:54] lets see if i can use youtube === wargasm is now known as Wargasm [07:54] mosno: haven't seen that in awhile... i tend to have my own hard-hitting style... i'll go with that ;) [07:54] Gnea: lol ok [07:54] Are there any good image mounters like daemon tools in Linux? [07:54] gnea: they forgot the raid card...otherwise the thing would be a screaming demon. what no raid-0? tish tish :) [07:54] wy: what kind of images? [07:55] kitofhawaii: the system can do RAID, although there's little reason to do so - it just causes more disk thrashing with vista [07:55] Wargasm, art.gnome.org [07:55] come on i still cant use youtube [07:56] jahnkeanate1: what video card do you have? [07:56] jahnkeanate1: what's your problem? [07:56] flash not working? [07:56] Gnea: something like ISO, DAA, UIF, NRG, ... [07:56] Package 'flashplugin-nonfree' is already installed [07:56] wy: ISO is supported already - just throw it on a loop device [07:56] oh skip it [07:56] wy: man losetup [07:57] -o loop [07:57] wy: or just double-click on it [07:57] i dont think it is the video card [07:57] i dont have one mine is intagrated [07:57] jahnkeanate1: in firefox go to about:plugins -- if there is more than one entry for flash you've probably found your problem [07:58] jahnkeanate1: what is the result of this command in a terminal: lspci | grep VGA [07:58] I have a dhcp3 setup, can I force the server to listen on just one card ? netstat is showing the line "udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:67 ... " [07:59] Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller [07:59] neil_d: i think you need to edit /etc/default/dhcp3-server for that [07:59] intel chipsets are well supported, so that's unlikely to be your problem [07:59] <_blitz_> can anyone suggest a good torrent client which is highly user friendly (which does not ask me for metafiles right after i start it)?

[08:01] _blitz_: ktorrent, azureus, some swear by µtorrent run through wine. i use rtorrent (which is anything but user friendly, but i love it) [08:01] Package 'flashplugin-nonfree' is already installed [08:01] Gnea: yes [08:01] it doesn't install properly [08:01] anyone here have ubuntu on a ps3?

[08:04] jahnkeanate1: on that page, there should be instructions [08:04] what say [08:04] jahnkeanate1: if you use this command: grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:04] jahnkeanate1: then what does it have to say about either "vesa" or "i810"? do either show up? [08:05] no [08:06] * nickrud wonders what X drivers have to do with flashplugin [08:06] i think he's trying to solve both problems at once [08:06] and listening to neither...

[08:13] anyone know how i'd possibly go about fixing that? [08:14] how can I divide 750 into 10gb swap, + 3*200 == 600 == 610 gb only... [08:14] externalUSBinsta: you need to make 1 of the 4 partitions an extended partition [08:14] well, not exactly 'fixing' but getting around it. [08:14] ok [08:14] and then create logical partitions in there [08:14] jay_, try sudo a2enmod php5 && sudo /etc/init.d/apache reload [08:14] what does this mean [08:14] hm [08:14] hi can any body solve my sound problem with intel hda .....ich7 family [08:14] NOTE: Please ask your administrator to remove the xpti.dat from the [08:14] components directory of the Mozilla or Netscape browser.

[08:19] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [08:19] is only available from another source [08:19] well controlling the masses wont help me install winrar!

[08:32] of course nobody will see that it is a bug [08:33] dyson: perhaps "proftp" [08:33] dyson: i mean proftpd [08:33] [GNOME] What file lists the 25 Menu items which one can activate using the System > Settings menu? [08:33] does it have a gui?

[08:37] How can I troubleshoot wine causing a segmentation fault? It happens at the initial installation, when trying to run wineprefixcreate (or winecfg)? Thanks much!

[08:39] when i press the power button of my thinkpad while running ubuntu nothing happens, whats wrong here? [08:39] hey, i'm getting a 'grub hard disk error' after attempting an install [08:39] anyone has used some mind mappers in linux? [08:39] kritzstapf, press longer, like 5 seconds or so [08:39] mlpug: haha. [08:40] mlpug: very funny :) [08:40] BarryToeman: It simply says "Segmentation fault (core dump)" when running wineprefixcreate...if i try to run winecfg is gives a similar error (saying that wineprefixcreate crashed) and then terminates as well [08:41] !grub [08:41] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

Many thanks [08:44] is impossible play games on ubuntu wher they on windows? [08:44] neumind, look http://www.winehq.org [08:45] neumind: some (id games for instance) have linux ports and don't need wine [08:45] BarryToeman: I can rename .wine. However, I know that all the files were not created that are needed in the .wine folder [08:45] ushimitsudoki: i see...because it fails installation. [08:45] BarryToeman: The same error occurs if I try to create in a different name directory, or I delete .wine and try again [08:45] Karti, right click an html file in the file system, select properties, and then the open with tab [08:45] UserUbuntu, join #wine and try wineprefixcreate [08:46] sorry that was for ushimitsudoki [08:46] BarryToeman: yes, winecfg can not run becuase wineprefixcreate crashes [08:46] ushimitsudoki: did the wine version from the repository work? [08:47] hey all [08:47] Barry: I believe I am using the repository version? [08:48] nickrud: Dis as you asked. It is already set to open in Firefox. WOuld it be a setting that was changed n Kontact? [08:48] ushimitsudoki, try sudo aptitude reinstall wine , sometimes a reinstall fixes an odd problem [08:49] wher i can find good tutorial how install wine and use it? [08:49] ushimitsudoki: i mean the Ubuntu universe and not from wine.budgetdedicated.com [08:49] Karti, ah, kontact don't know kde at all. Someone might answer, but #kubuntu is the kde place [08:50] neumind: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine [08:50] ty [08:50] nickrud: I'm on Ubuntu but my mail has been Kontact since it was a pain in the ar*e to migrate it across to Evolution :( [08:51] gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. [08:51] wtf? [08:51] Barry: I will try that. [08:51] ushimitsudoki: i would purge your current wine installation and follow the Wine instructions from the Ubuntu wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine [08:51] Hello everyone, first time here [08:51] Karti, yeah, I'm sure there's some setting that got changed, but don't know what it is. That's one reason why I don't mix qt & gtk apps anymore [08:51] Barry: Alright, that is something I have not tried. Let me give that a go. Thanks for your help! [08:51] ushimitsudoki: good luck with that [08:52] nickrud: Good advice.......many thanks for your help ;) [08:53] Why isn't freemind in the repository? [08:54] Karti, a suggestion: install dovecot , it's an imap server. Keep all your mail in there, then your email client won't matter [08:54] I have a problem with my monitor, I wanted to change my main monitor, so I choose the model I had, syncmaster 955df, and I clicked OK with out testing it, reloged to the computer, and the display is messed up, so I cant actualy see enything... anyway I can set it back to default monitor through command promt? thanks! :P [08:54] nickrud: Is it a complicated install? (I am relatively new to Linux) [08:55] does anyone know if there is a linux/ubuntu port for the Creative Zen V Plus mp3 player [08:55] Altrag: If it was a completely different monitor you might want to reconfig x from the command line. My 2nd monitor is a 955df, watching officespace on it now. ;) [08:56] Altrag: yes, command line can fix it. you can either try to check for a backup of your config file or do what ppcguy says with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [08:56] Well, it doesnt work for me, maybe its the ATI card that I have that stops it from working [08:58] Karti, no, it's pretty simple . https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dovecot . Don't get the dovecot-pop3 (since you won't be feeding other machines) and use the Maildir format [08:59] nickrud: many thanks.....just checking it out now [08:59] hi [08:59] KRaZy_WaKa: did you check to see if gnomad2 or Amarok works with the Zen V? [08:59] can someone tell me other IRC clients except xChat for uBuntu 7.10 ? [08:59] Barry: Same results with wine from the repository (0.9.36-0ubuntu1). wine gives the error: "wineprefixcreate failed while creating '/home/jason/.wine' ... Segmentation fault (core dumped) [09:00] look: pidgin (it's a multi protocol one -- does msn and xmpp and aim etc too) [09:00] how can I connect from outside to a host that is behind a router and has a private IP (like 192.168.0.23) ? [09:00] ushimitsudoki: did you purge your old files and old installation first? how did you install initially? [09:00] kantor: you need to get your router to forward the relevant port to your machine [09:01] has anybody used to ubuntu forums wiki howto on Quasar? [09:01] From Syntaptic each time, complete uninstall. I have tried in the past from terminal as well. [09:01] look: bitchx, lostirc, loqui [09:01] so If I do not set the forwarding I can't connect from outside, no ? === ^kaminix is now known as kaminix [09:02] look, irssi seems really popular in this channel [09:02] xchat as well [09:03] it's all about xchat [09:04] lol i prefer irssi though [09:04] ushimitsudoki: well, that error you get isn't very helpful, huh? did you remove .wine before reinstalling? also, in synaptic you can choose which version to install (universe or winehq if you have that enabled), but you just tried that. [09:04] ushimitsudoki: i don't know what else to suggest besides trying #wine irc [09:05] ok but which one of them is more similar with the old mIRC [09:05] for windows ? [09:05] ushimitsudoki: i mean #winehq [09:05] Barry: Alright. Haven't got any response there, but I will try again in a bit. Thanks for the effort, nonetheless [09:05] how do i use chmod to set all the .cpp files within a folder (and within folders in that folder) to 644 ? [09:05] ushimitsudoki: make a post at ubuntuforums.org if winehq is worthless [09:06] chmod -R 644 *.cpp deons't work [09:06] Barry: Alright, I might just do that! [09:06] sudo chmod 644 /path/to/dir/*.cpp i think [09:07] maybe need the -R im not sure [09:07] soldats: why do i need sudo? the files are in my home folder [09:07] -R is recursive [09:07] lardarse: Have you got the correct privelidges? [09:07] ReS|UK: i just extracted the folder from a tar.gz [09:07] onto my desktop [09:07] lardarse: chmod -R 644 *.cpp should work. what is the error? [09:08] chmod: cannot access `*.cpp': No such file or directory [09:08] In which case as BarryToeman said the chmod -R 644 *.cpp should work. [09:08] [GNOME] What file lists the 25 Menu items which one can activate using the System > Settings menu? [09:08] lardarse: Are you in the dir containing the .cpp files? [09:08] no.. the files ar a couple of levels down [09:08] in multiple folders [09:09] That is why you need to use the dir if you are not in the current dir. [09:09] and i just discovered that i cant blindly 644 everything, because the folders stop feing folders [09:09] being* [09:10] That is correct lardarse; you need to just do the files from the dir they are contained in. [09:10] ehh... [09:10] i would rather not type in a command 17 times... [09:10] or more [09:10] copy paste? [09:10] bullgard4, they are each described in an individual file in /usr/share/applications [09:11] You could use copy and paste [09:11] yeah... but then i still ahve to get into each folder in turn [09:12] lardarse, that's why you would specify files ending in .cpp to chmod, the dir's would be left alone [09:12] nickrud: yes... i'm trying that [09:12] lardarse: The only other way is to chmod as that does all [09:12] Ohhh sorry nickrud just said that. [09:12] but it's saying that it can't find th files which are 2 levels down [09:13] lardarse: Change dir and try it from the location and see if you get the same error. [09:13] lardarse, BarryToeman suggested chmod -R 644 *.cpp . Did you try that? [09:13] nickrud: i tried tht myself [09:13] and yes, it works if the files are in my current folder... but that's tedious [09:13] lardarse, from inside the top dir of the files you unpacked? [09:13] nickrud: yes [09:13] chmod -R 644 *.cpp [09:13] chmod: cannot access `*.cpp': No such file or directory [09:13] lardarse, then that is very odd, -R has never failed me === smiley is now known as Xsylotte [09:14] the exact same error as without the -R [09:15] lardarse: odd. you can try a sledgehammer approach: "find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;" [09:15] lardarse: To me that errors seems to read that it fails to find the cpp in the dir or is looking for something that isn't there. [09:15] lardarse: however, my example will change all files to that permission [09:15] ReS|UK: but the files are there [09:15] hi... anyone know how to insert data into an XML file from a script? [09:16] BarryToeman: that' fine, as long as it doesn't affect any folders [09:16] lardarse, try chmod 622 -R *.cpp [09:16] lardarse: make a backup and try it. then delete when it doesn't work because I didn't test it. [09:16] i cna just sxtract it from the tgz again if i need to [09:16] #surabaya [09:17] fihi09: no spam please [09:17] ehh [09:17] sorry [09:17] he left too fast [09:17] BarryToeman: that seems to have worked [09:18] lardarse: excellent... [09:18] thanx Barry i'm on the phone with a friend of mine he suggested the same thing... he said Amarok will probably work [09:18] Hello. 7.10 ACPI doesn't works. How to solve it?

[09:22] KRaZy_WaKa: you can always try a dual boot for a few weeks just in case you forget something. [09:23] was considering it but was told dualboot is a security risk and i know its a pain in the butt [09:24] KRaZy_WaKa: security risk how? [09:24] Is there a GUI in Gutsy Gibbon that allows me to mount my ntfs partition? Or do I have to use the terminal? [09:24] scguy318, notebook doesn't show battery, cpu always works on same frequence etc. [09:24] Jockeo: ntfs-config, but it kinda sucks, better off adding an fstab entry [09:24] goodhabit: what's your notebook? have you tried searching the Ubuntu Forum? [09:24] scguy318: ok thx [09:27] hey guys anyway to mount *.bin? [09:27] linuxuz3r: use fuseiso [09:29] This is a more general question, not really related to ubuntu, but I was wondering what a "good bittorrent client with webui" for ubuntu is, and as my server runs ubuntu, I thought, lets ask here. [09:29] I have a XFS partition and only root is able to write on it. How do I enable to any user to write on a XFS partition ? [09:30] I already used: uTorrent (trough wine), Azureus, Deluge, all seem to have problems [09:30] so who knows a new one :) [09:30] ChaosR: what was wrong with Deluge? [09:30] segmentation error [09:31] ChaosR: google "bittorrent webui clients" , a nice listing there [09:31] it randomly gives those about every 2 weeks [09:31] ChaosR: have you looked at the core dumps, if you have that on? [09:31] scguy318: I already tried the more popular ones [09:31] ChaosR: look at or make a post at http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/. the developer is quick to respond. [09:31] well, I solve the error by just deleting prefs.state [09:33] and utorrent won't start anymore [09:33] Yesterday i said i needed gaming very much. well, i still get it with XGL, the only problem is that WINE programs go on top of EVERYTHING, when i use DISPLAY=:0. Is there any solve for this? [09:33] for some odd reason, wine just starts giving a lot of debug-crap === TimS is now known as Timmy [09:33] what mail server should i use with ubuntu? i'm using nginx too [09:33] like what's the easiest to use and fastest, etc [09:33] !mta | p34r [09:33] p34r: A Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) is the server software that sends and queues mail.

Its some thing like YPOP [10:47] it is an INCREDIBLY attractive and persuasive element to linux that doesn't get enough press [10:47] wols: this is ubuntu support channel. What Ubuntu means better check out yourself. And no, GIMP is better than Krita, like it or not. [10:47] damn [10:47] sorry [10:48] jgoo: not for you :) [10:48] jgoo: it's in debian sid. so check all repos of ubuntu? [10:48] :) [10:48] pecisk: you tell this to me why?

[10:49] Filled-void: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/15927/ here are its messages [10:49] wols: I am not here to flame, simply Krita and GIMP are totally different beasts, in fact, they come from totally different worlds. Some people will like GIMP and some will like Krita. But they are not equal in functionality. Inkscape is more similar. [10:50] I'm about to reinstall Ubuntu and I'd like some advice about how to set up my partitions. I keep a lot (and I mean A LOT) of music on my hard drive, as well as install several games through WINE, as well as quite a few packages from the repositories. How should I partition my 80gb drive? [10:50] four-o-fou1, Unfortunately IM not sure either I havent tried fetchyahoo and IM not at my Ubuntu machine to try either sorry :(. [10:50] I've read about separate partitions for /boot, / and /home. Is that the way to go? [10:50] wols: in fact I meant it to say to jgoo, sorry for bothering you :) [10:50] I just formated my 500GB (My Book) drive to ext3 using "Partition Editor - GParted 0.3.3". [10:50] When I bought the drive, it came as a fat32 drive and had some google and other files on it. [10:50] first I tried using QTparted (took 5 seconds) that did format but later showed up as error, so I used GParted (took 6.5 minutes) and it went all well and I mounted the drive now as an ext3 drive. [10:50] Question [10:50] 1. The drive in size shows as 465.76GB, but it shows 7.50GB used and 458.26GB unused, how can that be, I just formated the whole drive and have put nothing on it, so what is using the 7.50 GB? (please see picture) [10:50] 2. It shows a Lost+Found folder, I don't know what its for and why it was created, it shows up empty inside. (I'ld prefer it not to be there, can I rid of it?) [10:50] 3. How can I rename my drive again to "My Book" [10:50] ! [10:50] pecisk: I never asked anything about krita. tell it to jgoo who did [10:50] !home | suupaabaka [10:50] suupaabaka: Your home folder is where all of your personal files are usually kept. For mounting your home folder on a separate partition, please see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome [10:50] suupaabaka: it's good to have at least your home folder on a different partition.. makes it easier to reinstall the system without worrying about your files [10:51] four-o-fou1: when you press "Send/Recieve" what happens? Error messages? Behaviour? [10:51] pecisk: do you have a free account on yahoo? [10:51] Slart: So maybe 60gb for home, 20gb for everything else? [10:51] what do the thermalzones messure appart from cpu .... I can't make my system crash with cpuburn but watching videos on youtube can .... :( [10:51] 1. ext3 reserves 5-10% of space by default. directories and such use space too. 500GB are not 500 gigabtes but only 500 billion bytes [10:51] pecisk: it sends me errors [10:51] bonjour tlm [10:51] 2. you cannot get rid of it. it is needed by ext3 [10:51] bonjour tous le monde [10:51] tsc forget about it im gonna try gsnes9x [10:51] pecisk: here, last comment is mine: http://gopalkoduri.wordpress.com/2006/06/23/configuring-evolution-mail-to-work-with/#comment-81 [10:51] woohoo Shannon International hehe... Wifi is cool! [10:52] 3. tune2fs can do it [10:52] snmpee can you help me with xcompmgr ?? [10:52] wols: yes i know that but theres an extra 7.5 showing as used [10:52] pecisk: I did what was written there, exactly.. [10:52] Hello, does someone know how turn off that gthumb opens up automatically when i plug in my USB-digicam? [10:52] !ask USB install [10:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask usb install - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:52] suupaabaka: that would be ok.. with some gigs to spare for the ubuntu system.. (20 Gb) is a bit much.. but who knows) [10:52] !ask portable harddrive install [10:52] four-o-fou1, Gmail works with that fine and those are the server names. IM guessing that Yahoo had pop access for free once upon a time but that wont work now. If it did I dont think YPOP would exsist [10:53] Slart: So stuff like OpenOffice gets installed on my /home? [10:53] four-o-fou1: but there is simple message - invalid password or username [10:53] four-o-fou1: consult Yahoo mail help for reading POP messages [10:53] anyone else getting "Shut up and XXXX you"-messages from [MxPm]Synz-Nein? [10:53] suupaabaka: no it doesn't [10:53] four-o-fou1: propably you have to provide your full email as username [10:53] suupaabaka: nope.. it goes into usr/local I think. [10:53] Slart: he trolled before [10:53] Slart: then he got banned and now he's venting his anger [10:54] wols: ok.. but he's in the channel? why isn't he kicked? [10:54] pecisk: I have checked all possibilities! I don't think it's because of that, since my gmail account works properly [10:54] Slart and wols: So I should have maybe 10-15gb (just in case) on my root partition for proggies? [10:54] Slart: he was only banned by tomaw. and what would a kick help? [10:54] I downloaded the iso image and i'm booting it using VirtualBox, after the system boots it takes me to the shell how can start the GUI? [10:54] bom dia [10:54] suupaabaka: 10GB is quite a lot [10:55] wols: he wouldn't know who's talking in the channel.. I get one priv message for each line I write in here [10:55] I just formated my 500GB (My Book) drive to ext3 using "Partition Editor - GParted 0.3.3". [10:55] When I bought the drive, it came as a fat32 drive and had some google and other files on it. [10:55] first I tried using QTparted (took 5 seconds) that did format but later showed up as error, so I used GParted (took 6.5 minutes) and it went all well and I mounted the drive now as an ext3 drive.

(please see picture) [10:55] four-o-fou1, gmail pop access is for free. Yahoo is a paid service. You need to subscribe to it. [10:55] 2. It shows a Lost+Found folder, I don't know what its for and why it was created, it shows up empty inside. (I'ld prefer it not to be there, can I rid of it?) [10:55] slept, GPU fan monitoring, if you have an nvidia GPU you can use nvidia-settings. No standard API to probe a GFX card sensor though:( [10:55] 3. How can I rename my drive again to "My Book" from 500 to 465 then again 7.5 taken away, thats a lot. [10:55] Is there anyway to recover this? and also why is there a lost+found folder inside does anyone know? [10:55] four-o-fou1: but your gmail account has different name/password right? Maybe you can imagine that Yahoo mail should be configured a little bit differently? :) [10:55] !repeat | mozart [10:55] mozart: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [10:55] sorry [10:55] wols: Really?

[10:57] bmt2: good idea [10:57] slept it may have some kind of temperature sensore though I don't know about i945. Did you try googling linux i945 GPU sensors ? [10:57] is that the only line that needs to appear in ports.conf ? [10:57] mozart, google for : gb vs gibi and if you don't like lost+found use reiserfs [10:57] wols: sorry i am new here and to ubuntu, what do you mean? [10:57] ok [10:58] wols: is that the only line that needs to appear in ports.conf ? [10:58] mozart: I answered all your question just after you asked [10:58] bmt2: yes [10:58] wols: thanks [10:58] wols: its not i dont like lost+found, i just would prefer if it were hidden [10:58] is it possible to set the keyboard layout on a per-application basis? Or, set the keyboard layout with a gnome launcher thingie? Using dvorak as main layout, but got some games installed, would like to use qwerty on those [10:59] Filled-void: thanks, but why ypop and fetchyahoo don't work? [11:00] Filled-void, Thats the problem IM not sure about. The above link only explains why you cant receive it ther way you did with gmail. Further it was one of the main reasons I started a gmail account also [11:00] four-o-fou1: for them to work you might have to set up a local functioning mail system. and screen scrapers are notoriously unreliable [11:00] gah four-o-fou1 ^ above was to you [11:00] leethal: you can write a small script to launch those games, something like setxkbmap us \ your_game \ setxkbmap dvorak [11:00] is there anyway to get conky to work in gnome? [11:00] imbecile: just install and run it?

[11:01] quick question: is there a command to switch what mirrors apt-get is using by default? [11:01] ill give it a try [11:01] imbecile: any special reason why not? [11:01] English help wanted. I find in an official Gnome documentation a remark: "Buggy as heck". I do not know what 'heck' is. Is this equivalent to 'Buggy as the hell?' [11:01] wols: last time i tried it no workie [11:01] eromero: you can edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to hearts content [11:01] wols: ok thanks now i got it, sorry as it moves so fast here i didnt see it, ok, i understand that the formated drive loses space, but whats with the mystery 7.5GB that shows up as a used space? its a new drive i just formated it, so whats taking the space? [11:02] How do I force install "linux-restricted-modules-2.6-20-16"? When I install linux restricted-modules-generic a newer version installs, but restricted-manager need the 20-16 one [11:02] imbecile: superkaramba and widgets is far nicer [11:02] bullgard4: very very buggy [11:02] slept you may find about available sensors in console with: acpi -V [11:02] thanks :- [11:02] :-) [11:02] wols: Thank you for commenting. [11:02] Bubulle, well only the 2 thermal zones [11:02] Emof: get a repo that has this version [11:03] how do I go about finding that repo? [11:03] wols: the drive after formating shows as 465.76GB, but also it shows 7.50GB used and 458.26GB unused [11:03] Bubulle, i found some guy in a gentoo forum saying setting the freq to 1ghz helps but thats stupid ... [11:03] (2007-12-16 14:29:59) wols: four-o-fou1: for them to work you might have to set up a local functioning mail system. and screen scrapers are notoriously unreliable, would you tell me more? [11:04] slept: it helps to make the cpu less power probably [11:04] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=40047 four-o-fou1 [11:05] wols, yes but what is the point in buying new hw than ... acctually I think the ondemand setting of the govener might be the thing to make the system crash, with set on performance I couldn't get it crashed yet ... [11:06] slept: disable the governor and it iwll run at 100 always [11:06] mozart, Also check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=215177 [11:06] but since it happens with flash, it might very well be a bug in flash or your nvidia drivers if you use them [11:07] Filled-void: thanks [11:07] e.g. not heat related [11:07] I just wanna know whats with the 7.5GB used space [11:07] wols, thats the last thing I can do, but it's a laptop with a small battery <2h [11:07] slept: what is the polling frequency (in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZS0/polling_frequency)?

[11:11] Filled-void: yes i am just reading he first liknk u sent, funny, there seems to be no answer :-) [11:12] mozart, Check out the second [11:12] slept: that fixes overheating for me, I use ondemand and it slows down cpu when it gets too hot [11:12] Filled-void: ok thanks [11:12] mozart, He was able tog et back some space [11:12] mozart, Oddly enough 5% off a 500GN drive is much moer space :x than the amount you are losing [11:12] slept: do it for both TZS0 and TZS1, and you'll need to do it on every reboot [11:13] Filled-void: hmm, so maybe i should go to NTFS or reiserfs, I have no idea, anyway i really need to make use of all the space i can get as i am going travelling and i need to take some huge amouts of music files in one drive, as i cant carry too much [11:13] http://ypopsemail.com/ pecisk [11:14] mozart: I told you about tune2fs [11:14] Filled-void: i opened a thread here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3961099#post3961099 [11:14] mozart, That you would need to confirm from one of the more advanced folks here. Ive always heard that ext3 was better never checked out why or the reason someone told me that [11:15] wols: yes, i understood tune2fs was for changing the name, i was now just curious about the missing 7.5GB, or did i miss something [11:15] mozart, You might want to update your findings so it will help someone in the future [11:15] mozart: it's also for more [11:15] mozart: read its manpage [11:16] bazhang: it's not exactly "free", isn't it? [11:16] hi guys im having trouble making audio cds from serpentine and k3b it says there not supported etc [11:16] pecisk: not in the foss sense :} [11:16] lol [11:16] \LIST [11:17] wols: sorry, i dont understand what u mean by manpage (am new to linux) i understand the lost space of a formated drive, but whats using the extra 7.5GB [11:17] mozart, man tun2fs [11:17] robobob: mp3? [11:17] yup [11:17] wols: ok [11:17] just plain mp3s [11:17] mozart, you can change the amount of space reserved for root and you can switch to ext2 so you'll get rid of the journal but thats not very usefull - forget about 7gb - or if its empty you can try reiserfs...its quite nice , very fast but if its broken you are f*****,eventough that neverhappend to me in 6years its quite a concern [11:17] mozart, NO clue to whats using it though :x [11:17] does gnome use the lame encoder as well? for burning to mp3 [11:18] bazhang: pop3 not free. it's only part of Yahoo Mail Plus, the "premium" version accoridng to help.yahoo.com [11:18] think so [11:18] bazhang: grip should [11:18] Filled-void: ok so maybe i should go try formating it with a different app before putting my files on it [11:18] mozart: yes it could be the journal [11:19] mozart, Worth a try but I wouldnt want to get your hopes high [11:19] wols: noted, but ypops! seems to work around that [11:19] bazhang, As far as i recall ypop doesnt use the pop mail server access concept [11:19] robobob: install lame encoder for k3b [11:19] wols: thanks, so what do you propose i should do, (i have to catch my flight in about 8 hours time, still have to finish packing) [11:19] mozart: if you only store data on that drive you can use tune2fs -m 0 /dev/DEVICE. you hate to unmount the partition first [11:20] mozart: nothing. the journal is a very good thing,especially on a external harddisk [11:20] Filled-void: the link to their home page would disagree :} [11:20] mozart: every journalled filesystem will have one, ntfs too [11:20] OH OK, now i understand is tune2fs a journeling system like ext3? [11:21] newp [11:21] bazhang, Well, this application is more like a gateway. It provides a POP3 server interface at o­ne end to talk to email clients and an HTTP client (browser) interface at the other which allows it to talk to Yahoo! The same concept holds good for SMTP as well [11:21] mozart: tune2fs is a program not a filesystem [11:21] mozart: Nio tune2fs is an programm to "tune" the filesystem - change settings [11:21] lame - LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder [11:21] bazhang, but theres very minimal difference I guess [11:21] ok [11:21] thats 1 by anychane [11:21] open a terminan and type mane tune2fs [11:21] Filled-void: true--though indistinguishable from magic to those not in the know :} [11:21] ok [11:21] * Filled-void agrres with bazhang [11:22] hehe [11:22] agrees* [11:22] s_v_e_1: ok done its open [11:22] Virtualbox allows the installtion of 64 bit guess os? [11:23] mozart: the most of the 7 GB should be reserved for root [11:23] if this is not a system partition you can unmount it and change the -m setting [11:23] never tried it Filled-void but should do [11:23] s_v_e_1: yes its only a drive for carrying data, why does ubuntu make an external drive for root? [11:23] bazhang, Thanks. I got a your cpu doesnt support this message :D. Im going to try some other 64 bit to confirm [11:24] Filled-void: cheers! curious to know myself === bw is now known as bw_hb [11:24] Hello - I am trying to help someone on the forums. What is the command to fix a broken package? Is there an easier way than uninstalling and re-installing? [11:24] mozart: unmount it and tune it , can you do that in a terminal ? [11:24] Mybe i should go into windows and then format it to ext3 and then mount it in ubuntu, i guess that would solve it [11:25] desertc: sudo aptitude -f install or using synaptic... [11:25] desertc: hold on [11:25] s_v_e_1: i am not good at terminal commands [11:25] mozart: it won't [11:25] hı [11:25] mozart: especially since you can't format to ext3 in windows [11:25] is that possible to change amaroks language [11:25] I have a question, it may be very difficult or very easy. I want to connect the modem to the speakers/microphone, can I connect some modem software (minicom?) to /dev/dsp [11:26] new2ubuntu: no. why would you want to do this? [11:26] desertc: System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager - Edit - Fix broken packages [11:26] wols: um, i have some apps installed on a windows machine that give me the ext3 option, so maybe it'll work, also i have a CD of HirensBootCD [11:26] mozart: it still won't solve your problems [11:26] wols: then seperate the modem connection using a radio (walkie talkie) to have a remote connection [11:27] myrtti: Okay, thanks. He said he is trying that, after re-reading the message. I thought there was a command line to reconfigure, but it's probably the same thing. Thanks for your help. [11:27] desertc: for reconfiguring there's another option [11:27] wols: I don' t know if your familiar with wtc7 and the forensic evidence by mit.. but the idea is an off the grid backup communication system [11:27] Hello. Anybody know why my connection will be running at maximum speed, and then suddenly drop to almost 10% after a few minutes? [11:28] new2ubuntu: look into ham radio [11:28] desertc: if the problem is reconfiguration and not broken package [11:28] mozart: whats the device of the drive ? you can find out with mount on the terminal (dont paste all in here) [11:29] s_v_e_1: sorry what , how [11:29] hello [11:29] q zaharazod [11:29] wols: yes considered that, and there are some abilities there, but I'm looking for an internet connection with ip address and everything [11:30] OIM, if amarok supports your language it will use it automatically (like all programs on your desktop). but you can start programs in a different language from a terminal window like that: LC_ALL=de_DE.utf-8 amarok (provided you have installed the german utf locale) [11:30] mozart: open a terminal, type mount - then look for the hardrive, the first parameter in the line is importent . it starts with /dev/ [11:30] s_v_e_1: i am guessing /dev/sdb1 on /media/disk type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev) [11:30] Myrtti: Maybe you know this part of his question, he says the file permissions look like: -----a-Ac-Z----t- ./upcase.dat (with the command lsattr) Maybe he needs to modify those flags with chattr [11:30] hey who was talking about superkaramba a bit ago? [11:30] This wifi connection sucks [11:30] Hello. Anybody know why my connection will be running at maximum speed, and then suddenly drop to almost 10% after a few minutes? [11:30] lol [11:30] who in here? [11:30] or no one is talking.. [11:31] mozart: to make shure its the right one type: df -h thats gives aou the size of it [11:31] Hi, how can I create new shortcut key for launching some program in Ubuntu? [11:31] people or computer [11:31] new2ubuntu: ham radio is the way to go. you can run a ppp or slip daemon on top of it... [11:31] s_v_e_1: /dev/sdb1 459G 199M 435G 1% /media/disk [11:31] Hi, can anyone install this icon theme? -> http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=58805&forumpage=1 I get a error message. Anyone know how to install this theme? [11:31] wols: I'm very close,, some software modem must be able to communicate with /dev/dsp which is just a file,, I think there is just a tiny step to go,, after that software could connect to cell phones (thinking open moko), then multiple base stations,, skype,, then no more AT &T [11:32] mozart: if it the right one, then type sudo umount /dev/sdb [11:32] wols: I'll give it another look, what I saw at first glance seemed very basic [11:32] new2ubuntu: you are mistaken [11:32] s_v_e_1: ok [11:33] mozart: if it the right one, then type sudo umount /dev/sdb1 - sorry --- [11:33] if you use open moko's voice calls to transmit modem beeptones over it to avoid AT&T you have issues. the voicecalls uses AT&T or similar [11:33] new2ubuntu: and you can be sure there will be a voip client for the wlan on rollout if it doesn't ship with one already [11:33] s_v_e_1: yup done, i can actually unmount from the desktop gui as well [11:33] new2, rfc1926 may help you incidently [11:34] iriver550: not to mention you will be very lucky indeed if your softphone hack gets more than 1200 baud [11:34] mozart: ok. and next: tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1 [11:34] wols: open moko's speaker/ microphone to connect to a external radio device,, no cell phone [11:34] which means you can read faster than you can transmit [11:34] new2ubuntu: why not simply use the radio device directly? your proposal makes NOT sense [11:35] s_v_e_1: Setting reserved blocks percentage to 0% (0 blocks) [11:35] mozart: sorry again : sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1 [11:35] mozart: go got it. [11:35] wols: ip is what I want,, not always voice. Send data, soap requests, etc.. [11:35] hellos [11:35] English help wanted. [Gnome] What is the English name of the Main menu > System > Settings > 'Screen resolution' item? Is it 'Screen resolution' or what is the English name of it? [11:35] mozart: sudo sync . unplug the prive . plug it on and be happy [11:36] new2ubuntu: about the only thing you can do if it ever works on this is irc. and not a busy channel like #ubuntu either [11:36] s_v_e_1: thanks [11:36] new2ubuntu: baically: nice hack, useless in practice [11:36] wols: ssh [11:36] ever used ssh on a high latency, 1200 baud channel like this? pure torture [11:37] wols: I could code for a server, wget a page, reboot apache, [11:37] new2ubuntu: use wlan and a cantenna. [11:37] new2ubuntu: since you use handsets apparently, it should have about the same range [11:38] wols: hmm [11:38] hey who was talking about superkaramba a bit ago? [11:38] i logged off [11:39] wols: a walkie talkie set can get 25 miles,, [11:39] mozart: as standard on every partition some space is reserved for the superuser root, [11:39] thats usefull if a filesytems becomes full and the system still needs to wrok [11:39] superkaramba? imbecile? that was me :} [11:39] new2ubuntu: 75baud then. good lucj [11:39] bazhang: how'd u get it working in gnome? [11:39] s_v_e_1: ok, but is that fine now what i just did? i mean is the data gonna be ok later on === |ajmorris_| is now known as ajmorris_ [11:39] wols: the modem would adjust for speed, [11:39] new2ubuntu: wlan+special antenna gets to something between 100-150 miles btw [11:40] mozart: if you only store media on an external harddrive thats useless [11:40] hao many space do you have now ? [11:40] imbecile: install it from the repos, then get some widgets [11:40] * Take0n hello [11:40] wow i didnt know cantenna had that range [11:40] mozart: the dat aschold be fine, you only took some reservations away that you wont need [11:40] s_v_e_1: an admin just posted here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3961099#post3961099 from what i make out he says that its a needed 7 GB space [11:41] could someone remind me what to type in the "run dialog" to open the program for managing icons etc. on desktop? [11:41] Hey new to Linix am a windows administrator at work but how good is Ubuntu??? Installed a completely new hardware and no errors!!! [11:41] s_v_e_1: highly dependent on a lot of things tho, but I doubt the handset is different [11:41] bazhang: I installed from repos. maybe im doing something wrong. I installed one but it wont show up on my desktop [11:41] Krin: nice [11:41] wols: I'll look into it,, I think you are right,, but if so I'm surprised it's not more widespread [11:41] new2ubuntu: what being widespread? wlan like this? look up mesh networks [11:42] imbecile: did you go into the superkaramba applet and choose install new? [11:42] Not like windows with oh I installed a new card i think I will blue screen [11:42] Krin: linux is pretty cool because whenever you do something boring, you put it in a shell script, in case you have to do it again === penos is now known as nooooooooooooooo [11:42] bazhang: yes [11:42] new2ubuntu: the fact that there are no more programs like this (there were in the past afaik, in the time of acoustic couples) should give you a hint === nooooooooooooooo is now known as noooooooooooob === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFK [11:42] imbecile: which one?

[11:46] is there a code to make amarok turkish [11:46] wols: the software I found connects 2 computers via null modem connection then plays the audio over the speaker, the idea was to add noise to test the connection [11:46] s_v_e_1: well it looks like i didnt win any space really, tthe available size still shows as the same [11:46] OIM: should do it by default if you have the correct locale [11:46] imbecile: that has been my experience yes [11:46] wols: also to test a few different modem protocols [11:46] OIM: not all programs have i18n files for all languages [11:46] join #ubuntu-sa/ [11:46] it was turkish before [11:47] bazhang: ill try transg & see if it works for me [11:47] prehaps I am over my head [11:47] but it change [11:47] OIM: then set your locale right [11:47] elkbuntu: finally [11:47] imbecile: good luck :} === DiCha_cHa-Cha_ is now known as dhenisya [11:47] HELLO [11:47] anyone know whats wrong?

[11:57] Just tryed Ubuntu and Kbuntu on the same pc and Kubutu had errors [11:57] I am looking for a very, very good Ubuntu expert please. [11:57] TakeOn: different desktops, KDE is more flashy, Gnome is more simple. Linux users typically really like only one or the other. [11:58] what should I choose? [11:58] how do I see if I am using kde or gnome? [11:58] KDE IS more chucky and ugly, designed for younger generation [11:58] TakeOn, GNOME is good for advanced, and KDE for beginners. [11:58] gnome is mroe pro and sleek looking [11:58] TakeOn: it involves the start menu, and some times the software [11:58] kde is bigger, cumbersome and huge, gnome is smaller and more simple [11:58] I prefer gnome on my laptop and KDE on my desktop. [11:58] Take0n: logout to gdm [11:59] bushido89, you can pass parameters to the kernel either on the grub prompt or (to make the changes persistent) in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:59] Gnome more like Mac KDE desktop more like XP [11:59] JADS, can you help me? [11:59] TakeOn,, you will find this topic will quickly start an argument,, I like gnome [11:59] Take0n: choose what to use when you login [11:59] ok [11:59] brobostigon: I tried that but it costed me a lot of time and the system remains buggy. [11:59] The Grub prompt? What is that velko? [11:59] gnome + kde = food for african children for eternity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111 [11:59] kde is slicker, take kio slaves, transparent access to anything, its not about looks, you can make kde look like gnome, gnome look like kde, its the underlying libraries that are important [11:59] if I save something when using GNOME will it be there for KDE aswell? [11:59] does nobody have problems with Power-Off_Retract_Count increasing on each shutdown? [11:59] MichaelSammels: Maybe, I haven't run ubuntu for a while.

[12:03] bushido89, in order to pass kernel parameters you add them to the line starting with "kernel" [12:03] when I start ubuntu (after selecting to boor from ubuntu and not vista through the boot manager I think it's called) right before it shows the logo it displays a white text on black background and sais PCI BIOS Bug blablanumbersblabla Found [12:03] hey guys, my coworker installed 7.04 PPc on his mac mini and then just did an upgrade to 7.10 and everything seems to be broken. he can't get into x. he just tried startx and it said something about "radeon 0 no valid modes, screens found but none have a usable configuration" [12:03] could that be why I can't hear a thing (no sound) [12:03] Hey dudes [12:04] bushido89, take a close look at the stanza name (the line starting with "title") so you know which entry you have modified [12:04] TakeOn: if you have onboard audio yes that might be your problem [12:04] whalesalad: pastbein the Xorg.0.log file [12:04] slm. sunucuda Türkçe yazan veya konuşan arkadaşlar varmı [12:04] Anyone have experience with an NC6000 from HP and Gutsy [12:04] whalesalad: what driver did he use before for X? [12:04] slm. sunucuda Türkçe yazan veya konuşan arkadaşlar varmı [12:04] bushido89, for experimentig its probably best to copy one stanza and modify it [12:04] TakeOn: I had that and I went into the BIOS disabled the quick boot and it went away, [12:04] So, I just paste is on the same line, with no line-break? [12:04] bushido89, instead of messing around with these who work [12:04] wols: not sure, just a default 7.04 configuration. he's opening up that log file right now. [12:04] *So, I just paste is on the same line, with no line-break, velko?

[12:05] wols: also, fyi, same issue occured when he tried to boot the 7.10 installer disc. so, we tried 7.04 installer and it worked so we thought we would just update it to gutsy [12:05] whalesalad: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg change the driver to vesa [12:05] bushido89, i would suggest to copy the whole stanza (the 4 or 5 lines) to paste them at the end of the file [12:05] bushido89, and to paste the options you need at the end of the "kernel" line of the new stanza [12:05] new2ubuntu will that affect Vista?

[12:24] bullgard4, Isnt the name Screen Resolution itself? [12:24] corporeal: I'd say the weight is more on the desktop side, but it's just fine as a server too [12:24] markvandenborre: not really. What happened to me was taht the them i was using on 2.18 cused 2.20 to crash... [12:24] <^root^> Filled-Void, its already the newst version...

[12:36] ubuntu-lover, i want to connect to your computer remotely if you allow me to so i can fix the problem for you [12:36] and I'd give each interface the .1 IP and each client the .2 one [12:37] ok, thank you [12:37] i see wireless stations but when i say connect ,it fails [12:37] nixi: there is also "min" and have allok at cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies [12:37] !ask |ArseneLupin [12:37] ArseneLupin: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [12:37] how remote conn [12:37] ok [12:37] BixBox: if you want a DHCP server, look at dnsmasq [12:37] ubuntu-lover, just follow the following procedure [12:37] ok [12:38] how do i change the theme of kde apps (like amarok and konversation) without having KDE? basically i know i can't have gnome theme im using cuz one is gtk while the other is qt but id like to know how to at least pick a somewhat similar theme...

[12:38] linduxed: you'd need to install kcontrolcenter (which will pretty much pull a full kde install as dependency) [12:39] ubuntu-lover, include my name in the messages you send me so i can see the message marked in red [12:39] nixi: cou cant edit availible_frequalencies, but you cat sat min and max [12:39] 1 for win dp ,2nd formatted edt3 ,a swap ,and 4th formatted ntfs for my data [12:39] i installed win dp [12:39] mean winxp [12:39] Pensacola, I think reinstalling the flashplugin-nonfree might fix it but you might want to to wait for others [12:39] ok [12:40] <^root^> Filled-Void, When i try to run Bluetooth-applet, i get Could not open location 'file://Bluetooth-applet' The Location or file couldnt nt be found!

[12:40] ^root^, You have this bluez-gnome gnome-bluetooth gnome-vfs-obexftp installed? [12:41] does anyone else have problems with Power-Off_Retract_Count increasing on each shutdown with Gutsy? [12:41] ubuntu-lover, tell me when your done [12:41] <^root^> Filled-Void, Yes, all the newest versions! [12:41] although i can mouhnt each one of the partitions [12:41] my hard drive is not sata [12:41] any solutions, [12:41] yes [12:42] nixi: you should only shoose from cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies [12:42] ubuntu-lover, check on "Allow other users to view your desktop" [12:42] ArseneLupin: are you using 'Dynamic Disks' in windows? what does 'sudo fdisk -l yield ? [12:42] stefg: any lightweight way though? i did install kde earlier and uninstalled it later but the theme stayed so there must be some way.... [12:42] hey man how can i trust u [12:43] ubuntu-lover yes, i'm only 17 [12:43] ^root^, try small b [12:43] whalesalad: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [12:43] lol 17 saves u? [12:43] ubuntup-lover, did you check the box? [12:43] no [12:43] linduxed: you could try to edit the config files with a text editor .... but taht's not quite realistic [12:43] another way pls [12:44] stefg ,am not on ubuntu now [12:44] so i cant edactly tell you [12:44] s_v_e_1: hm, but there the min is 1ghz... [12:44] stefg: well ill try that before downloading and installing kde [12:44] ubuntu-lover, check on "Allow other users to view your desktop" you can easily gain controll back when you press the esc key [12:44] nixi: 1GHz - thats it [12:44] <^root^> Filled-Void, that made two bluetooth icons in the system tray where there was one already! [12:44] s_v_e_1: i cant get lower? [12:45] sorry man [12:45] ArseneLupin: so my guess is that you are using 'Dynamic disks'. this doesn't use a ms-dos compatible partition table, so the ubuntu installer can't read it [12:45] hi [12:45] ubuntu-lover, that's ok [12:45] thanks [12:45] stefg:i used the gutsy live cd ,defore ,and it captured my different partions (before i make the changes with gparted ) ,if tath can help [12:45] ^root^, gah does it let you continue through the process? [12:45] hello all [12:45] ubuntu-lover, we'll take the long method then [12:45] ok === Osiris__ is now known as Habitat [12:45] <^root^> Filled-Void, Nope, i can bond it :( [12:45] nixi: i suppose not only availible. newer cpus dont have so mush frequalcies [12:45] tell me am average on ubuntu [12:45] ok stefg :how can i fix that? [12:45] ArseneLupin: so the partitions were there, then you used gparted, then thy were gone ? === Habitat is now known as Habitat4Live [12:46] ^root^, :( Im clueless at this point. can you get your computer to pair with your phone ? [12:46] stefg:the partions are seen with the live cd ,i can mount them [12:46] ubuntu-lover go to System>Preferences>Hardware Information [12:46] i recently instally Ubuntu 7.10 on on laptop HP Pavillion Dv6516 TX. Its not detecting my sound card.. [12:46] Filled-Void, If I understand correctly you are doing the pairing from your phone correct? [12:46] ok [12:46] ^root^, ^ [12:46] but when i i pass to installation ,the partions program sees only the whole disk [12:47] ArseneLupin: so far, so good. so what's the problem then, i don't understand [12:47] yea i did [12:47] ubuntu-lover, i need to know the name of your wireless to download the driver and blacklist the one you have [12:48] asus laptop broadcom 43xx [12:48] ArseneLupin, Have you already formatted everything as ext3 , swap, ntfs . Cause I dont think ntfs will show up by default you might want to confirm this and your swap wont show either [12:48] the problem is that when i pass to installation ,i choose manual partionning ,but i only see the whole disk ,i can't see the edt3 and swap partions that i made with gparted [12:48] Filled-Void, I am ^root^ [12:48] how to check whether my sound card is being detected or not.. [12:48] s_v_e_1: hmpf.. ok thx.. [12:49] ubuntu-lover, go to the terminal and type "sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" exactly as it is [12:49] ArseneLupin: so it seems that gParted ate your partition table for breakfast. It might be broken in an odd way, so gParted still knows what is what, but the installer doesn't. To be on the safe side i'd do a backup first of all important data... broken partition tables can be ugly [12:49] Hi... i've just installed Firefox 2.0.0.11 and i'm having trouble entering anything with my keyboard (only in firefox) [12:49] Any ideas? [12:49] Filled-void : yes i did ,but the problem is that when i boot on the live cd ,i can see the partions and chenge them if i wan ,but when i pass to installation (the partions are no longer there) [12:49] ubuntu-lover tell me when ur done [12:50] lspci displays the following info: Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller [12:50] (rev 03) [12:50] Hello!

Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [13:32] ubuntu-lover i'm following the steps with you, i just downloaded the exe file but i can't open it, give me your email address so i can send you the 6 files, if you wish to do so [13:32] mmaniaci: i've had the same problem when i tried installing ubuntu on a raid array :/ [13:32] ubuntu-lover, that's an alternative [13:32] haven't found the sollution yet [13:32] can't mount my windows ard drive in ubuntu. ideas? [13:32] way of getting the files [13:32] !mount [13:32] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [13:32] steve search for ntfs-progs? [13:33] no [13:33] it has been working previously, however has now stopped working [13:33] then i dunno [13:34] i installed ALSA... [13:34] but this command: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec is not working [13:34] i'm having problems with my network connection: Lan and WLan seem to lose their connection every so often and almost every time i switch Users [13:35] its a part of the step for detecting HDA sound card as given in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [13:35] i get around it by switching network connection to "roaming" and then back.. but doing that every hour or so gets annoying [13:36] can u please help me out [13:36] ubuntu-lover, give me a sec, let me look for alternatives [13:37] How do I save a page for offline use in firefox? [13:37] is there a linux tool for defragging NTFS volumes? I'd like to defrag my windows system partition [13:38] ubuntu-lover you still there, i got the alternative [13:39] jenda, file>save page [13:39] and hello [13:39] jenda: does save page as from the file menu not work for you? [13:39] stib: http://www.supershareware.com/software/ntfs-defragment.html ? [13:39] vorian: really? So simple? I thought that just saves it into a file somewhere. [13:39] who knows of some kick arse opensource map software (like streetmaps) [13:40] jenda, it save the complete page [13:40] once you download the exe file go to the directory where it is located it at and type cabextract 63wb03ww.exe [13:40] and indeed it does [13:40] vorian, stib: What I had in mind was a way to save the page in such a way that the next time I try to access the URL, Firefox loads the saved content instead of having to go online. [13:40] Or only does that if it cannot find a connection. [13:40] guys i have a connection problem on ubuntu feisty.. can anyone help me? [13:40] hi... my ubuntu system itself doesn't make sounds, even though applications do. pop up messages don't, for example, but I adjusted'em to... [13:41] how do I change the charset in xchat to UTF-8? [13:41] ubuntu-lover: after you do that install ndiswrapper from the Synaptic Package Manager [13:41] jenda, ic, i cant help you then :P [13:41] now there is no mixer getting displayed under System-> Preferences->Sound [13:41] khamael: try /charset utf-8 [13:41] ubuntu-lover then restart the computer come back online so i can expain the rest of the steps [13:41] khamael: if my memory serves me right :) [13:42] jenda: seems like it worked [13:42] jenda: thanks [13:42] khamael: you're welcome [13:42] whoops [13:42] revered: ta, but I can't see any linux defraggers, only windows ones [13:43] k.. i thought that was a linux one :/ [13:43] there's a reason for that [13:44] most of linux's filesystems don't need them [13:44] ext3 for example [13:45] stib: defrag [13:45] can't find any either, stib.. looks like you'll have to do it from windoze [13:45] tumbleweed__:yes sure, but I can unmount my windows partition and defrag the files I normally can't move if I booot from linux [13:45] and under certain (possibly contrived) circumstances, defragging is a good thing: e.g. bittorrent sparse files on 99% full harddisks [13:45] oh nm. i see what you mean === pimlock___ is now known as pimlock === netdemon is now known as NeT_DeMoN [13:46] Hi I just setup vnc on my linux system and when i try to access it with tightvnc viewer it said no password configured for vnc auth but I have a password set [13:46] hello [13:46] sup peoples [13:46] I've read somewhere on most filesystems fragmentation is not a bad thing, just on NTFS and FAT volumes it is a bad thing. [13:47] wols, if i am listed under multiple ttys in the finger utility, does that mean i have multiple x-sessions running? and is that a bad thing? [13:47] when using miro, it can download videos from bittorrent, is there any access to illegal videos...i dont want to download illegal videos... [13:47] Hi, does anyone of you run VEOH client on Ubuntu 7.10 GG? [13:47] can some one assist me with a sound problem?

I'd need to have it working on my system as well [13:48] perhaps NeT_DeMoN more info would be helpful :} [13:48] Does anyone ever get sick sick sick and tired of always having to pull and tweak linux to get it working, or am I the only one?

[13:49] hi [13:50] ti ginete re pedia [13:50] i had vista but my sound card wasn't working so i switched to ubuntu 7.10 but its still not working [13:50] NeT_DeMoN: if you manage to solve the problem let me know [13:50] I have been trying in 3 or 4 days now :P [13:51] r4663r: not sure what you mean by 'illegal videos', but unless you load the torrent, no [13:51] what soundcard [13:51] NeT_DeMoN: you seem to have a weird sound card [13:51] later guys.. good luck [13:51] miyuki, so far it managed to run, but exited on it's own [13:51] martyyyr: do you a specific question? this is a support channel [13:51] Wha's a good music managament software: I wanna rename the file, retag the id3, and clean up duplicate mp3's and folders. Is there anything that will do all of those? [13:51] damn [13:51] If i am listed under multiple ttys in the finger utility, does that mean i have multiple x-sessions running? and is that a bad thing? [13:51] bazhang: Yeah, I know [13:51] miyuki, I'll try downloading it again and installing it on Linux, rather than running from my Windows partition [13:52] Kinp, have you got Wine installed on your system? [13:52] so like no one knows how to fix it?

I accidentally removed it from the panel - how do I get it back? I can't find it in the menu or add-to-panel windows? [13:53] Kinp, is Wine enough to have it working from Linux? [13:53] miyuki, so far, no. [13:53] deadlock:its a laptop [13:53] miyuki, let me redownload it and install it on my linux partition under wine [13:53] k [13:53] whein i try to open the new display and monitor settings in gutsy nothing happens, how do i start that thing?

[14:41] LjL: but if there's an easy way to fix permissions do tell === Flummoxed` is now known as Snoman^ [14:42] pianoboy3333, "cp -a" can be used to preserve ownerships and permissions. you should also add options to avoid copying /proc and stuff like that, let me create a command line for it [14:42] does anyone knows if i install the driver by the console instead of use Synaptics the problem will be fixed? [14:42] pianoboy3333, no, there's no easy way to fix the permissions [14:42] ljl: ok thank you [14:42] ljl: that's fine I'll just do it again [14:43] how much ram memory have you in your pc with ubuntu? [14:44] 1GB [14:44] plus the swap with 2GB [14:45] LjL: I don't understand why you think permissions are broken, I think nautilus copies those by default; I can log into my account and open all of my files, the only thing defunct is sudo [14:45] i'm running Ubuntu in my desktop and it's fine, just this cheaty laptop is making me mad [14:45] pianoboy3333, output of ls -l /usr/bin/sudo [14:45] hey guys [14:46] LjL: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 91776 2007-06-15 08:49 /usr/bin/sudo [14:46] I've installed Gtkmm yet my compiler cannot locate gtkmm.h.... :( could someone help figure out what I'm doing wrong? [14:46] something curious is the wireless [14:47] i ran Ndiswrapper and it's running Ok but it doesn't chage from eth1 to wlan0 [14:47] it installed fine with no error [14:48] andre__: did you install any gtkmm-dev packages? [14:48] kelsin: yup, but let me double check [14:48] LjL should I can boot the computer in rescue mode and change permissions for me to use it, if those aren't correct [14:48] pianoboy3333, "root root" is already a good thing, although there's certainly the suid missing. but if that's missing, there's bound to be other things missing... that's my reasoning. [14:49] kelsin: libgtkmm-2.4-dev is indeed installed [14:49] i use my friend's laptop (Windows XP) to connect to my computer (Ubuntu) through Tight VNC, it works fine but I couldn't figure out a way to use Alt+Tab so it's difficult switching windows since i can only do it through mouse clicks [14:49] LjL: well before I wait another 3 hours for everything to copy how can I create a new suid [14:49] pianoboy3333: output of « ls -l /usr/bin/at » please (that's a file that shouldn't be owned by root) [14:49] does anyone know how to map Alt+Tab to TightVNC [14:49] ljl: -rwxr-xr-x 1 daemon daemon 38464 2007-02-20 08:41 /usr/bin/at [14:49] (i already asked my friend to change to Ubuntu but that didn't work...) [14:49] andre__: the you can search for that .h file with "dpkg -S gtkmm.h" or "locate gtkmm.h" [14:50] kelsin: tx sec [14:50] anyone know how to fix this error on logginh in? "Refusing to initialize GTK+" [14:50] pianoboy3333: it's missing suid (it should have it too), but the ownership is ok. i can probably give you a list of all (?) files that should be suid root, but i really cannot guarantee it'll be complete or accurate, nor that other permissions are ok (ownerships seems to be) [14:50] andre__: you might need to refer to that file like "gtkmm/gtkmm.h" or something if it's in a gtkmm dir in /usr/include [14:51] could someone /msg me a bog standard grub stanza for a ubuntu installation please? [14:51] LjL: alright if you really think it's gonna be bad, then give me the better command to recopy everything I don't really mind [14:51] how can i use Alt+Tab key from VNC? [14:51] I am trying to follow the instructions at http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=79983 (i.e. get my hands on YouTubeUploaderSeup.exe). It seems as if YouTUbe don't offer the download link to that .exe for Ubuntu users. How can I fake a Windows machine så that YouTUbe gives me the exe so that I can try to run it in WINE? [14:52] kelsin: gtkmm.h not found by locate... though I have found some stuff with gtkmm... [14:52] Enselic: you may wanna try asking that question in offtopic, or in a channel relating more to web (#php or something) [14:53] Enselic: google 'firefox useragent' [14:53] Anyone have any ideas on how to get my audio to work? [14:53] jrib: thanks [14:53] martyyyr: did you poke with alsamixer settings? [14:53] andre__: according to apt file (if you isntalled the dev package) it should be at /usr/include/gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm.h [14:53] andre__: so try including it in your file as "gtkmm-2.4/gtkmm.h" [14:54] Enselic: I didn't do anything yet, I don't know where to start [14:54] andre__: if that doesn't work I recommend asking in ##c++ once you confirm the location of the .h file [14:54] pianoboy3333: « cp -rx --preserve=all / /destination-dir » should do it, though i'd like someone else to also have a look and make sure i'm not missing anything here [14:54] can someone help me to install wolf et [14:54] ubuntu [14:55] martyyyr: well make sure your sound mixer settings are sane [14:55] martyyyr: do you have GNOME ALSA Mixer at Applications -> Sound & Video? [14:55] let's see [14:55] LjL: I don't need -R ? also, is doing it on a live cd better? so I'd go from like /media/sda1 /media/sdb1 [14:55] Enselic: no [14:55] kelsin: that found the gtkmm.h file [14:56] pianoboy3333: -r and -R are synonyms [14:56] i want to remove some variable from PAth( i installed a program not as root and at uninstalling it fails to remove the references from path). i found those references in bashrc i commented them but i still have those variables in my Path. how can i remove them? [14:56] martyyyr: ok, then you can use alsamixer, the command line program [14:56] kelsin: but now there are the same issues with other header included in gtkmm.h [14:56] martyyyr: or you can sudo apt-get install gnome-alsa-mixer [14:56] LjL: ok [14:56] kelsin: sigh, hehehe I'm gonna check out ##c++ [14:56] Enselic: ok, I'll try that [14:56] kelsin: tx [14:56] pianoboy3333: it's probably better to do it from a live CD, but only for the simple reason that files won't change under cp's back [14:56] martyyyr: gnome-alsamixer was the name [14:56] andre__: you should probably include the dir in your include path with -I option to gcc [14:56] is there any way to wipe all of my sound drivers and start from the default ubuntu install setup? [14:57] hmmm [14:57] pianoboy3333: recovery mode should also achieve pretty much the same [14:57] I tried to install alsa-drivers with a line of code edited. Compiled and installed and the whole thing died :\ [14:57] kelsin will try [14:57] LjL: also I think folders like proc empty out when the computer shuts down so I don't think there's any files in some of those folders [14:57] pianoboy3333, correct - /proc is a device in memory [14:58] Enselic: Are the sliders supposed to be up or down? [14:58] pianoboy3333: if you do it from a live cd, yes, that's correct. but anyway, the "-x" option is there precisely to tell cp to not cross filesystem boundaries (and /proc, /sys, /dev - those "folders" that "empty out" - are separate filesystems) === a2283mcz is now known as Kmele [14:58] martyyyr, up is on down is mute [14:58] Hey [14:58] LjL: ok [14:58] kelsin: something like " [14:58] then I don't think these settings are incorrent === a2283mcz is now known as Kmele [14:58] Any word on whether Gutsy will see a kernel upgrade in future? [14:58] martyyyr: up [14:59] martyyyr: but sometimes 70% works better [14:59] Lord_Illidan: never a new version. at most it'll see security patches [14:59] andre__: add `pkg-config --cflas gtkmm-2.4` to your gcc command line [14:59] andre__: with the backticks [14:59] hi every1 , i've heard of the old unix rule never use your root account to to everyday work ..but when i install ubuntu and have one account which is root. does the old saying still applies or am i safe? [14:59] Enselic: but I don't have sound AT ALL [14:59] LjL, ok, I thought so [14:59] kelsin: tx for the help :) [14:59] anybody know if there is an argument that i could use to pass a password through a script? [14:59] andre__: I misspelled that [14:59] LjL one thing though, when I do it from the live cd, if I use /media/sda1 /media/sdb1 (for example I'm not sure what it'll actually be) I'm afraid that it would just be overwritting the folder in /media, and not actually replacing/writing to the drive [14:59] pleasebenice, the one account that you have by default on Ubuntu is *not* a root account. [14:59] andre__: `pkg-config --cflags gtkmm-2.4` [14:59] pleasebenice, you don't have a root account when you install Ubuntu [14:59] pleasebenice: yes, replace "root account" with "sudo" [15:00] pianoboy3333: use /media/sda1/* /media/sdb1/ [15:00] !timebasedreleases | Lord_Illidan [15:00] Lord_Illidan: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases [15:00] kelsin: I already had: `pkg-config --cfags --libs gtkmm-2.4` [15:00] martyyyr: does the mixer show you sliders at all? [15:00] LjL ok thank you brb lemme boot into the live cd [15:00] pleasebenice: the root account exists, but since on ubuntu it doesn't have a password you could never "use" it [15:00] oh shit... [15:00] ompaul, I knew that [15:00] andre__: lol [15:00] Lord_Illidan, read that it explains what and why - the question does not fit the modality [15:00] Does anyone know how I can kill a process with status "not abortable"? Normal killall sox doesnt work [15:00] kelsin: I had cfags :( [15:00] Enselic: Yes, I can change them and everything, but to no avail [15:00] Lord_Illidan, so why ask [15:00] martyyyr: how many are tehre? three? [15:00] andre__: well there you go, enjoy [15:00] du: killall -9 sox? [15:00] Enselic: 3 vertical ones, and 3 matching horizontal ones [15:00] I just thought they might do an exception, since suspend/hibernate seems extremely buggt [15:01] kelsin: sweet, works tx :) [15:01] hi... I'm trying to get nautilus to run stable [15:01] buggy, sry. not just on my laptop, but on a friend's laptop, too [15:01] hello im having trouble getting my sound to work lspci recognizes and unknown device 0c:00.0 PCI bridge: Creative Labs Unknown device 7006 [15:01] 0d:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA0110-IBG (rev ff) [15:01] martyyyr: please pastebin your demsg output [15:01] Lord_Illidan, it's been buggy forever ;) it's mostly the fault of missing hardware specs, i suspect [15:01] Enselic: ok [15:01] LjL: Doesnt' work either [15:01] (as in: not locking randomly every few minutes until I kill it) [15:01] i want to remove some variable from PAth( i installed a program not as root and at uninstalling it fails to remove the references from path). i found those references in bashrc i commented them but i still have those variables in my Path. how can i remove them? [15:01] du: then i don't know [15:01] any ideas? [15:01] k.. thx anyway [15:01] can someone help me ? [15:02] probably, but Suspend/Hibernate worked on Arch and SUSE..so I'm rather jumpy about it [15:02] I don't want to switch from Ubuntu, you see? [15:03] Anyone tried the "Zen" kernel : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=623874 ?> [15:03] Lord_Illidan, it's hit and miss. here they worked with one version, didn't with the other, etc. but aside from touching the kernel, you can try messing with /etc/default/acpi-support, and a couple of other files i don't remember [15:03] Enselic: eh..Are you sure you want the whole output? It's...a lot... [15:04] martyyyr: yes, just put it in a pastebin and its fine [15:04] Can anyone recommend any portable mp3 player ( no ipod) that runs smoothly with ubuntu and is seen as pendrive by the system without drivers ( or other stuff) installation? [15:04] simion314: you did you "purge" the program when you removed it? apt-get purge ? [15:04] Enselic: http://pastebin.com/d7bbcea8c [15:04] abcd: just about any "no-brand" player will [15:04] simion314: and then open a new terminal to check that it's not just already in memory [15:05] thanks for the replies... what interactive gui firewall app are u guys using or what do recomend [15:05] abcd: quite a number do [15:05] Enselic: Damn...so many errors :S [15:05] pleasebenice, firestarter? [15:05] firestarter pleasebenice [15:05] abcd: I enjoy my sansa e260, but like LjL most non-ipods do work as usb drives [15:05] i have that installed...but for some reason i can;t get bittorrent to work [15:05] i'm using deluge [15:05] "Cannot read /etc/fstab" not looking good [15:06] amarok deals quite nicely with ipods doesnt it? [15:06] !firewall | pleasebenice [15:06] pleasebenice: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [15:06] A first generation ipod nano is also nice [15:06] does ubuntu use splashy or bootsplash? [15:06] kelsin: it was instaled from a binary installer not from .deb [15:06] how can i split a movie which is mpg 800 [15:06] I have mine with rockbox, really good [15:06] and I don;t consider my self a noob with some aspects of networking [15:06] i a trying to run rhythmbox and it comes up with this error(Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal) what does it mean,?? [15:06] fizzle, usplash [15:06] LjL , bazhang, kelsin: thanks [15:06] pleasebenice, is the port reported as closed? [15:06] ic [15:06] Delue has a port tester [15:06] i have dd-wrt and some good firewalls for my winbos's [15:06] simion314: ouch, yeah other then checking all of you .bash files, check /etc/environment and /etc/profile for references [15:06] no worries abcd :} [15:06] kelsin: and the program folder is no more after uninstall but the path still contains references to that directory [15:07] zobban: mpgsplit from the "mpgtx" package would be one way [15:07] does usplash require kernel patching? [15:07] avidemux? [15:07] deluge as well :} [15:07] !usplash | fizzle [15:07] fizzle: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [15:07] so can i do sudo apt-get install mpgsplit [15:07] Enselic: Did you catch that? (no rush, just checking) [15:07] simion314: it might take a while to finish but you can run "grep -R *" in /etc and "grep -R .*" in your home dir to maybe find what's referencing it [15:07] zobban: no, mpgtx is the package [15:07] do apt-cache search mgsplit [15:07] eh i was just wondering, because i use bootsplash on my distro [15:07] see what comes back [15:07] martyyyr: what sound card do you have? [15:08] Dregin, nothing actually. [15:08] simion314: did you reload your shell after making the changes to bashrc? [15:08] Or use Synaptic to search for the package [15:08] hi guys [15:08] kelsin: i do not use root privilegies when i installed this program and it can't have access outside my home directory [15:08] yes the prot is reporeted at close [15:08] done i installed mpgtx [15:08] simion314: then just running a grep over all of your files to find anything referring to it is probably the best way [15:08] Enselic: I'm not really sure... I tried to figure that out, but I'm kinda lost on that one [15:09] jrib: yes [15:09] how do i run it now [15:09] zobban: read 'man mpgsplit' [15:09] Enselic: I'll get the manuals that came with this laptop [15:10] no manual find man mpgsplit [15:10] martyyyr: what does cat /proc/asound/cards give you? [15:10] !gpgerr > zombie (zombie, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:10] Could someone point me to an explanation of scripting a suspend event?

I get glibc working, but cant find the libstdc++ [15:15] Jasnation: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [15:15] martyyyr: but that's a bit hardcore... [15:15] LjL: thank you [15:15] Enselic: is it?

[15:15] martyyyr: perfect! then just follow compilation instructions on the ALSA site :) [15:15] 2 gb for fat32 when i am right [15:16] bert_: there certainly is for FAT32, and it's either 4gb or 2gb [15:16] Enselic: ok, thanks :) [15:16] ow, that's why it just copies 4gb [15:16] is there anyone around here who can say something useful about a gdb trace? [15:16] thanks ;) [15:16] (for nautilus) [15:16] are you there jrib [15:16] any more sugestions of "ubuntu-friendly" mp3 players?

[15:19] !info screen > pleasebenice [15:20] CaptainMorgan, uhm, i'm on KDE so i don't really know, but that's definitely possible... i guess something like open /home from nautilus, right click / "Copy", then right click on the desktop, "Paste as shortcut", or something similar [15:20] that doesn't work LjL [15:20] !icons > CaptainMorgan (read the private message from ubotu) [15:20] -2 is not a valid mpeg file [15:20] i did as you said [15:21] i get this error [15:21] !enter | zobban [15:21] zobban: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[15:25] how tell me the hole path command [15:25] pianoboy3333, excuse the RTFM... but... "man cp" (yes) [15:25] folks, how do I add the home folder icon or computer icon to the desktop? I seem to remember it was in Preferences but I can't find it [15:26] here is my path to my movie..home/zobban/Desktop/Lec katunari te Cime kul [15:26] zobban: instead of name with spaces you write: "name with spaces" [15:26] LjL, do I need to delete everything on the drive first, or reformat the partition? [15:26] hello everybody [15:27] CaptainMorgan: did you read ubotu's private message he sent you? === malakhi_ is now known as malakhi [15:27] I am trying to setup a RAID 5 with 5 disks [15:27] i dont understand can you paste bin what do you mean [15:27] that doesn't apply cuz it's KDE [15:27] !who | zobban [15:27] sorry, 3 disks [15:27] zobban: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [15:27] pianoboy3333, would probably be better (delete... format is unnecssary) [15:27] zobban: "Lec katunari te Cime kulleri.mpg" with the " [15:27] pianoboy3333: actually i mean - format, since it's faster than delete :) [15:27] but only 2 disks apaer up; the last one is set as spare [15:27] how do i get a UUID for a hard drive? [15:27] can anybody help me solve that problem [15:27] er [15:27] !uuid > kbrooks (kbrooks, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:27] CaptainMorgan: it tells you to use gconf [15:28] jrib, gconf ?? [15:28] !icons | CaptainMorgan [15:28] CaptainMorgan: Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE) [15:28] CaptainMorgan: type 'gconf-editor' in a terminal [15:28] http://www.pastebin.ca/818795 [15:28] i got again same error [15:29] which version of ubuntu doesnt require too much memory but can run wine better [15:29] zobban: pastebin the result of: ls [15:29] mhiku: fluxbuntu. but it dosent run wine better. [15:29] mhiku, Xubuntu is probably the lightest flavor that still has a GUI on it. as for running WINE, there is no difference among flavors [15:29] anybody knows a program to simple finance control? [15:29] fluxbuntu i suppose too yeah [15:29] IgorSobreira: gnucash [15:30] gnucash IgorSobreira [15:30] how many sec does xubuntu in bootup and only 128 mem required? [15:30] rsk, bazhang thanks,,,ill take a look [15:30] IgorSobreira: no worries [15:30] jrib, no it doesn't [15:31] CaptainMorgan: what doesn't what? [15:31] gconf-editor doesn't work either.. [15:31] IgorSobreira, gnucash is more than an advance finance solution :) [15:32] CaptainMorgan: you toggled /apps/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible in gconf-editor? [15:32] how can i configure ubuntu to not write into the harddisk totally [15:32] mhiku: not a good idea [15:32] totally mhiku? not sure what you mean [15:32] Is Ubuntu okay at detecting drives >= 1TB ? [15:32] write filter [15:32] jrib, got it, thanks [15:32] CaptainMorgan: no problem [15:32] mhiku, explain [15:33] i mean like a volatile harddisk [15:33] chazco: yeah if you use a filesystem that can handle it, ubuntu def can, all up to the filesystem (afaik) [15:33] if you restart it, its like reformatted again [15:33] Ah sounds good... would probably be ext2 and a FAT32 system [15:34] mhiku: ram? [15:34] can you help me or no === khamael_ is now known as khamael [15:34] yes like ram but a harddisk [15:34] zobban: did you pastebin what I asked? You need to use my name if you do not want me to miss what you say [15:34] ssd mhiku?

[15:35] mhiku, the Live CD does that using unionfs and a ramdisk [15:35] zobban: you should post to ubuntuforums if you don't find what you need here [15:35] zobban: pastebin the result of: ls . Use "jrib" in your response. It is difficult to not miss what you say otherwise [15:36] i want to split a movie with mgtx [15:36] how can i limit the internet speed for other users on my private network? [15:36] can i do it in xubuntu? [15:36] Anyone know how much of an impact HDD speed has with Ubuntu on a laptop? [15:36] ls [15:36] Desktop Examples [15:36] wisam: if the router is an ubuntu machine, "apt-cache search traffic shap" [15:37] zobban: you need to be in the directory containing the mpg file [15:37] mhiku: the wiki?

It works ok (sends sms) but no web access. etc/ppp/resolv.conf has wrong dns nameservers. Every time i replace for the correct ones, i get the wrong one back after reboot. any help? [15:46] why i can't load srt subtitles in movie player [15:46] how to make the private network user unable to use utorrent or any torrent client?? [15:47] exit [15:47] now i found it on terminal Leci e Cima Lajmi nga Gyrbeti.mpg [15:47] wisam, ive not really seem a way you can block a Single user from doing things that way. You could block all the torrent ports. but that would affect all users. [15:47] hi, how can i setup VPS in ubuntu [15:47] is there any packages for vps? [15:47] hola? [15:47] zobban: use the mpgtx command then [15:47] ubuntino: evidently there is a DHCP client that rewrites '/etc/resolv.conf' with the numbers a DHCP server sends. Which means that either the Vodafone DHCP server sends out wrong values or there is another DHCP server. [15:47] hi sebastian_ [15:47] why i can't load srt subtitles in movie player [15:47] hiiii [15:47] i wan't it to affect on them all but not on me!!

[15:48] wisam, the linux firewalling rules work on 'ports' not specific executables. Not sure if you can do a per user rule either. id say check out the various iptables docs/tutoral sites [15:48] where can I get live support for ies4linux? does anyone know? [15:48] hepl me [15:48] zobban: pastebin 'ls'... [15:48] Kmele: use apt-get [15:48] thanks [15:48] is there even a place to get live support for ies4linux?

[15:53] how to make my installation of xubuntu a live cd so theres no harddisk write [15:53] ubuntino: well, you don't give any useful information, but to get that have a look at '/var/log/messages' and check what the DHCP client writes there. [15:54] whats the difference between alternate and a desktop? [15:57] so i am having trouble networking my server machine and this machine, both are on 7.10 ubuntu, anyone have any suggestiosjn [15:57] mikhu: intel and amd comps need different modules loaded so no - alternate is command line only - for lesser comps - you need to install a window manager for it [15:59] can the webui for rtorrent called "n2hell" be used without having to logging into the system and started up can it all ready be up and running at the welcome screen [15:59] pleasebenice, you could alwyas run it from the rc.local script if you wanted. Be sure to use sudo to run it as a specific user. [16:00] hi all, is anyone experienced running mu* servers? (mud/mush/etc.) ...possibly PennMUSH? i've managed to get circlemud set up (very easy) but from past experience, client-side, with pennmush i'm more experienced with that general environment and would like to run a PennMUSH server but don't know how to do simple things like just load the server application, just start it up, much less config it. :-/ [16:00] i ahev a default ubuntu account [16:00] hehe, sunday is great, just been downloading games and trying them out.. [16:00] what is anyone's favourite game on ubuntu? [16:00] NET||abuse: quakeworld, take a look at www.nquake.com [16:01] :) must do [16:01] NET||abuse: wesnoth is pretty cool too. [16:01] hi, how do I have to type spaces in mount points for fstab ? [16:01] how to force mplayer to not make "whole fullscreen" but to leave black screen? [16:01] does anyone here have any experience with how to get a mud-server or pennmush up and running? [16:01] wesnoth, that's a battle strategy one [16:01] bert_, trying to mount a windows share that has spaces in the names? [16:01] i was told in this channel that root is not activated by default. but i login to my ubuntu account with the root password.if i change the default account password will my root password be hcanged as well? [16:01] dragonblade: nfs? samba? [16:02] pleasebenice: ever heard of sudo ? [16:02] EtteSB: i think it's best to use .bashrc [16:02] !root | pleasebenice [16:02] pleasebenice: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:02] pleasebenice, If you make a root password. it will not be changed. [16:02] rsk, what about warzone 2100 [16:02] NET||abuse: sucks last i tried it [16:02] some of the disks on both machines are ntfs, but the os on both are linux [16:02] no Dr_willis, I just want to use spaces in my mount points (/media/win shared and /media/linux shared) [16:02] i can find windows shares via samba [16:02] LjL: i found it eventually :3 [16:02] on both machines, but neither want to talk to each other...they are both able to ping the other as well [16:03] NET||abuse: I'm liking warsow atm [16:03] bert_, its a VERY bad idea/habbit to use spaces like that.. use Underscores if you want to linux_stuff [16:03] yeah, I know [16:03] bert_, if you are just addicted to spaces. you could link 'windows stuff' to 'windows_stuff' [16:03] but it looks ugly on the desktop :p [16:03] !samba | dragonblade [16:03] dragonblade: 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 [16:03] i find spaces in file names looks ugly. :) [16:03] yeah, that's a good idea to use links [16:03] thanks [16:03] Then again. I dont put icons on the desktop [16:03] EtteSB: where you from? [16:03] Net||abuse: TASpring is very nice [16:03] tought it you wanna play warsow [16:04] played it first time today [16:04] any one from palestina?

[16:05] ubotu: ive got samba working fine for the windows machines, its the two ubuntu boxes that dont want to play nice...i guess that i kind of assumed that they would find each other or at least offer some sort of simple way of getting them to interact [16:06] hah [16:06] !bot | dragonblade [16:06] dragonblade: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [16:06] hi, how can i setup VPS in ubuntu [16:06] is there any packages for vps? [16:07] Just encountered a strange bug. When I logged out, NetworkManager or something decided to shutdown eth0 . :-/ [16:07] hi [16:07] san|: hi san|!!! [16:07] dragonblade: have you set up a shared file on the linux boxes? [16:08] Acidic32: are you refering to vpn? what is vps? [16:08] erUSUL: virtual private server i guess [16:08] how does one do that...none of the faq or threads that i have read mentioned that [16:08] I've a problem guys!! [16:08] with nautilus [16:08] when your getting something via APT-GET. is there a way to get the recommended packages aswell? [16:09] hey, I was thinking of buying a tv tuner for my comp, running Ubuntu 7.10. Which would you reccomend, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815255012 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815276002 [16:09] EtteSB: i think that happens by default in Edgy and later [16:09] LjL: thanks ;) [16:09] the samba-doc package has several samba books in it. Wortth reading if you are goign to use samba a lot. [16:09] !info samba-doc [16:09] samba-doc: Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.2 (gutsy), package size 6816 kB, installed size 14752 kB [16:09] EtteSB: or Feisty and later [16:09] or something [16:09] dragonblade: did you check out the links ubotu gave you earlier/ [16:09] Is there anyone to help me to nautilus please? [16:10] dido^: say what the problem is then we can help you [16:10] dido^, i don't use Nautilus, but i can tell you it would be much better if you actually asked a question [16:10] it looked like they both referenced samba, which i thought was only meant to talk to windows shares [16:10] Yes [16:10] dragonblade: it is used to communicate linux boxes as well [16:11] dragonblade, you can do samba-to-samba with linux machines.. but nfs may be a better way to do it. [16:11] or you could use ssh. :) [16:11] <_coredump_> hi there, do i have to isntall screenlets from screenlets.org to have these fancy gnome skins or is there something in the default repos? 7.10 gutsy [16:11] It all depends on what you are doing, and how much you are doing it. [16:12] stojic, what's tasprint? [16:12] taspring [16:12] dragonblade, if using samba and windows shares a lot. You may want to check out the fusesmb tool also. [16:12] I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 and having problems mounting my Minolta Dimage E223. It used to work under Feisty before the upgrade to Gutsy. When I type in lsusb, I can see that the camera is recognized. [16:12] !info fusesmb [16:12] when I surf in the exlporer and execute one, two files by double click occour an error and tevery icon of files change face [16:12] fusesmb: filesystem client based on the SMB file transfer protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6-1 (gutsy), package size 29 kB, installed size 140 kB [16:12] i will check those out then and see what i can dig up on nfs...i was going to remote admin the server machine from here, its just a file server...maybe turn it into a teamspeak server for lans and a myth box, but mostly its just going to be a fileserver [16:13] and I must to force nautilus to quit [16:14] EtteSB: you understand ? [16:15] does anybody know how to change the icon of a program in ubuntu? [16:15] dragonblade: an nfs tutorial - "http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html" [16:16] shamas, you mean on the menus? or on the desktop? [16:16] thanks, i was just looking for that. [16:16] Dr_willis: desktop [16:16] !nic [16:16] 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 [16:17] shamas, right click on it - look at the properties, its in there somewhere. [16:17] shamas, click on the icon i think. :) i forget - its been a while. [16:17] shamas, it also depends if its a LAUNCHER you are talking about.. or a specific data type file [16:18] Dr_willis, I tried that but it isn't there...

Click on that to select a custom icon. [16:19] is there any way to make gnome remember the position of an application? [16:19] nautilus frequently becomes totally irresponsive at random moments [16:20] this is on a freshly installed 7.10 machine, with a homedir copied over from an older ubuntu version [16:20] baya: is it firefox you're having an issue with/ [16:20] anyone experienced big rendering slowdown after installing firefox 2.0.11? === jussi01_ is now known as jussi01 [16:20] tony_math, thanks [16:20] martine_: it could be due to the fact that the newrer nautilus does not understand the old format sicne config files can change sometimes [16:20] ere4si: well, firefox and other applications [16:20] . [16:20] what kinda sys requirements would i have for taspring? i've only a fairly old lappy,, intel915GMS express graphics card in it. === Niklas_25 is now known as Camish === Camish is now known as Camish2 [16:21] kitche, exactly, so how do I find out more about that? [16:21] I've already tried to move the old .nautilus out of the way [16:21] baya: been trying to get firefox to open at the left of the desktop for months - most other apps open where they were closed [16:21] SBackup is weird. It fills up /var to 100% then fails instead of incrementally uploading [16:21] when keeping old home dirs.ive ioften had to remove the .kde and .gnome dirs to 'reset' gnome and kde back to the new defaults. [16:22] ere4si: firefox always opens at the left of the desktop for me..i don't want it to though :p [16:22] is it possible to get vmware to install a ... modem or pcmcia card and control it from within the virtual machine ? [16:22] kitche, any suggestions? [16:23] martine_: nope since you did what I was going to suggest but I would move the .gnome folder to a backup and restart gnome or something as well [16:23] i mean .. is it possible guys ? [16:23] baya: how did that happen? - just checking the configuration editor for options under metacity [16:23] hola? [16:23] hi [16:24] Xima1: to install or to see? [16:24] !es | sebastian [16:24] sebastian: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [16:24] to get it to see it and install it from within the vmmachine bazhang [16:24] and if it works.. allow the actual machine that controls the vmachine to use the virtual installed oss' internet [16:24] ere4si: that seems to be the default setting.. i haven't changed anything that i know of at least. i'm pretty new to this stuff - what is metacity? [16:24] kitche, .gnome contains evolution stuff as well [16:24] Xima1: not sure what you are trying to do [16:24] (and .gnome2 too) [16:25] I want to install my sprint card to my virtual machine right ? therefor to share the connection from my virtual machine to my actual machine [16:25] martine_: yes that's ebcuase it's part of gnome and your point being? [16:25] Xima1: to a windows vm? [16:25] yes [16:25] kitche, I'd rather be able to solve it in a different way if possible [16:25] baya: it is the window manager in ubuntu - but I can't find any option to control where apps open... [16:25] martine_: well then reinstall is your only real way then [16:25] kitche, how would reinstall help me? [16:25] martine_: or recompile nutilius [16:26] Xima1: ah, I see; to get a net connection from within the vm to share with the host os [16:26] this is a fresh install [16:26] yes bazhang [16:26] and recompiling nautilus? [16:26] martine_: well not reall a fresh install if your using old config files [16:26] kitche, I agree on that one [16:26] ere4si: does compiz replace metacity ? [16:27] baya: I don't do compiz - but I would think so [16:27] ubuntino_: your log shows several problems... [16:27] Am having a problem that my server (ubuntu 7.10 server) is crashing/freezes when I download alot with rtorrent/libtorrent. Yes, the crash is because of rtorrent but ubuntu should not crash so hard it does because of a program. Am looking for help troubleshoot this. I have heard about "klog console" but I don't know what it is. Nothing special can be seen in /var/log/messages. Please advice [16:27] ubuntino_: apart from the permissions on the 'secrets' files... [16:28] ubuntino_: 'Could not determine remote IP address: defaulting to 10.64.64.64' sounds worrying. [16:28] i'm considering using a windows machine/pc to host the connection ... to my router in the living room.. not sure if i wanna though .. ughh [16:28] anyone here play nquake? is it only available for linux via the source code? [16:28] Blissex: i've unchecked that [16:28] ubuntino_: and replacing the default route is not a good idea usually. [16:29] still having problems getting my Minolta camera to mount in Gutsy. When I run lsusb I get the following: Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0686:4017 Minolta Co., Ltd. [16:29] Blissex: should i remove the app and try connecting through network-manager? [16:29] ubuntino_: also your firewall seemss to be blocking traffic to/from the PPP0 interface. [16:29] But there's nothing at the mount point [16:30] <|Tyz|> ïîäñêàæèòå: ïîä êóáóíòîé ñ ëàéô äèñêà ñäåëàë sudo aptitude install build-esential, äàëåå ìíå íóæíî ïîñ÷èòàòü ýêñïîíåíòó, à â math.h íåòó îïèñàíèÿ ôóíêöèè exp, êàê ñèå ìîæíî ðåøèòü?

The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [16:31] Xima1: I'm trying to figure this out [16:31] <|Tyz|> подскажите: под кубунтой с лайф диска сделал sudo aptitude install build-esential, далее мне нужно посчитать экспоненту, а в math.h нету описания функции exp, как сие можно решить? [16:31] i am too [16:31] going to install my vmachine in linux on my laptop/compile it rather ;) [16:32] |Tyz|: if you want help here: english ONLY. if you want to speak russion, ubotu told you where to go [16:32] Blissex: ubotu: actually, firestarter (i forgot) [16:32] !en | |Tyz| [16:32] |Tyz|: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are english only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat [16:32] tony_math, do you know where I can find documentation on changing icon themes that I find on look-gnome.org? [16:32] bazhang .. is it also possible to do an usb to ethernet rj45 connector with a pcmcia card going to the usb to ethernet dongle .. [16:32] Xima1: just the one computer connected to the router? [16:32] connected to the wan port .. of a router.. [16:32] i mean it's a thought [16:32] heh [16:33] Hey, I'm running 7.10, and I cant install Ogre3D. I need to install FreeType2 zziplib libpng, libmng, libtiff, libjpeg (For free image) But i cant find it in the apt-gt thingy, any Ideas? [16:33] Does anyone know about SDL Image Library? [16:33] Xima1: there is internet connection sharing, but you need more than a single computer to share heh [16:33] pete: try sudo apt-get or synaptic [16:33] yeah [16:33] Blissex: after disabling firestarter, got the web (firefox) working. Any hints on how to solve those "holes"? [16:34] well see... im going to see if it's possible to get a external pcmcia to usb card.. [16:34] ubuntino_: why do you use firestarter? [16:34] then get the usb to ethernet dongle.. [16:34] and plpug the ethernet into my router's wan port [16:34] then setup pppoe [16:34] I'm trying to install a game and it says SDL Image Library failed. [16:34] Xima1: eek! [16:34] :) [16:34] Xima1: there a pcmcia ethernet cards [16:34] ere4si: I tryed that but they are not in there :S [16:34] any one has a PS3? [16:34] no wols... wrong end to this conversation.. [16:34] Xima1: why not just use two ethernet cables to the router? [16:35] pete_: there's a libogre14 package [16:35] hmm [16:35] wols: what do you suggest? [16:35] ah ha! [16:35] lemme put it this way baz.. [16:35] pete_: the asearch button in synaptic found nothing? [16:35] that is true, nothing [16:35] ubuntino_: why do you need a firewall? [16:35] Xima1: not clear on the number of computers behind the router [16:36] check ur pm window bazhang [16:36] anyone? "I'm trying to install a game and it says SDL Image Library failed." [16:36] pete_: you can't find libpng? [16:36] shamas: I don't know where you'd find that documentation. What are you trying to do? Change themes? [16:36] Xima1: you registered? [16:36] bap290: do you have the lib installed? [16:36] pete_: then have a look at sourceforge.com [16:36] yeah [16:36] u ? [16:36] idk... I'm a new user of linux [16:36] how do i play .rvmb files? [16:36] Yeah that will be my next step [16:36] yup, no pm seen [16:37] pete_: what exactly is missing? [16:37] ubuntino_: there are lots of apps that setup a PPP connection. I personally configure it manually, so I don't know which one is likely to work best for you. For some time in the past I used 'wvdial', which [16:37] tony_math, yes icon themes [16:37] I hope nothing now that I have the libogre14 downloading [16:37] ubuntino_: do you use pppoe or dialup? [16:37] hi guys, how to i play .rmvb files on Ubuntu? [16:38] wols: both [16:38] wols: How would I install the library? [16:38] ubuntino_: either or, can't be both [16:38] bap290: like you install everything else [16:38] burn_: real player [16:39] wols: I mean where do I get it from? [16:39] Blissex: what files do i have to check to get my connection secure? That 10.64.64.64 issue... [16:39] bazhang: been trying to install it [16:39] bap290: same answer. where you get all your other packages from [16:39] did u get all of it bazhang ? [16:39] My /boot is extended instead of primary. I heard that's bad. However, in 2007, should not it be recoverable should something happen? [16:39] SpookyET: it's not [16:39] wols: the internet I guess... [16:39] bap290: from the ubuntu repos! [16:39] wols: what is that? [16:39] wols: really? [16:40] Xima1: no pm seen--why not tell me here or set up channel #Xima1 [16:40] bap290: how do you install stuff in ubuntu? [16:40] wols: some command that I find online... lol [16:40] pete_: you also need a number of other things to compile ogre apps yourself, libogre-dev, libois-dev and similar [16:40] i'll do it in pastebin.ca ... brb [16:41] oh [16:41] bap290: then maybe you should learn about synaptic, apt-get and all their friends [16:41] ok [16:41] shamas: There's a FAQ on the art-gnome site at: http://art.gnome.org/faq.php [16:41] ubuntino_: try running 'pppd' with the 'debug; option to see why the other side is not sending its address. [16:41] just installed ubuntu,new to it all,cannot install updates [16:41] wols: u don't know where do u? [16:41] bap290: if you think so, have a nice day. good bye [16:42] telling me this E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [16:42] E: _cache->open() failed, please report. [16:42] adamski84: open up synaptic and enable the repositories, then reload, then apply updates [16:42] Can someone explain how SBackup works? [16:42] wols: I was just asking where I can learn about them... [16:42] Blissex: ok. Thanks. Ill check the ip on windowse config [16:42] adamski84: then do what the helpful message says. as root [16:42] log in as a superuser? [16:42] It seems it wants to backup the entire system to a backup file then upload it instead of creating many small archives so it won't run out of space. [16:42] adamski84: you stopped dpkg while a package was installing or it had an error while isntalling [16:43] adamski84: use sudo [16:43] !sudo [16:43] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [16:43] wols: It's people like you that discourage people from using linux [16:43] sudo -i [16:43] void^: I am starting to download libogre-dev and libois-dev, After that will I be able to use the Orge Library? [16:43] Blissex. one more question. It seems ubuntu is recnogizing my sata drive with errors and using it as an ide drive. is that so? [16:43] So is monodevelop the only thing I can use to write stuff in C# or vb.net? [16:44] sudo then what,sorry im a complete noooob! [16:44] adamski84: did you read the link d gawe you? [16:44] !sudo > adamski84 [16:44] eugene1, writing code can be done anywhere it it is where you run it that counts [16:44] eugene1: umm no you can use vim nano emacs any editor you want [16:44] adamski84: you read the error message you pasted? it clearly says what to run [16:44] eugene1: no; yo can us a test editor an command line [16:44] hello, does anyone know a software solution for programming in visual basic for ubuntu? [16:45] white_eagle: there can't be one. visual basic is Windows only [16:45] white_eagle: monodevelop [16:45] oh [16:45] !mono [16:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about mono - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:45] white_eagle: gambas is a kind of visual basic for windows [16:45] white_eagle: but which visual basic [16:45] white_eagle: I don't think there is a compiler for visual basic for linux... perhaps mono but I'm not sure [16:45] kitche: vb.net is not visual basic [16:45] yeah gambas is good [16:45] K [16:45] !info gambas | white_eagle [16:45] white_eagle: gambas: Visual development environment for the Gambas programming language.

[16:46] kitche: visual basic.net. not visual basic [16:46] yes [16:46] yes [16:46] wols: never mind you don't understand what I m saying [16:46] gambas is better than mono? [16:46] What's a decent backup tool that creates many small .tar.gz files and uploads them one by one instead of creating a huge one and clogging /var to 100% and failing? [16:46] white_eagle: gambas is Basic not Visual basic [16:46] oh [16:46] wisam: no, but sounds fun--do you have a support question :} [16:46] wols: i know but i cant run it need to be a super user [16:46] !backup | SpookyET [16:46] SpookyET: There are many ways to back your system up.

[16:47] SpookyET: I don't know if any of those create small tar.zips.. you'll have to find that out yourself, sorry [16:47] Hy. My gnome-system-monitor doesn't start. The tittle appears on the task bar and disapears few seconds later. Where can i found a ".log" file to understand the trouble ?

[16:48] SpookyET: just out of curiosity... what do you do with the backups after they are created in /var ? [16:48] ubuntino_: more likely it is a PATA drive where SATA=-PATA is not owrking. [16:48] or mono is similar to vb.net [16:48] white_eagle: check out their website [16:48] having trouble with my webcam, image too dark, any sugestion?
