[00:00] Clay_The_Arc: you need to use some sort of either proxy service (squid) or network fowarding such as iptables setup [00:00] recommended one? [00:00] Clay_The_Arc: do you want just browsing or more [00:00] i just really want browsing [00:00] because thats all my brother does [00:00] Clay_The_Arc: I'd suggest squid so there is, if possible some form of caching to save the dial up browsing [00:00] Can anyone walk me through making a custom live distro? [00:00] apt-get install squid? [00:00] sudo [00:00] sethk sorry, wasn't paying any attention .. [00:00] apt get [00:01] ya [00:01] Mark761966: no, that is nothing to do with ubuntu [00:01] Clay_The_Arc: thats the basics for the install [00:01] Yes it is [00:01] Clay_The_Arc: then you need to set it up [00:01] sethk, you still here? [00:01] Mark761966: check into reconstructor.. that question is beyond the scope of what we do here. [00:01] Mark761966: no, it's not [00:01] k [00:01] eek 6mb :% [00:01] anything smaller? [00:01] I'm trying to make a custom live distro of Ubuntu [00:01] Clay_The_Arc: not really, squid is your best option [00:01] am_, yes and no, I'm dealing with a client. I'll be back in a bit. [00:01] kk [00:01] So I don't have to use Windows [00:01] Mark761966: then it is nothing to do with ubuntu - it's your own custom distro [00:01] sethk, i have to go now for a few minutes. heres my file thing http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48490/ [00:01] Mark761966: you can use ubuntu so you don't have to use windows [00:01] Thx <3 [00:02] Christ [00:02] Mark761966: no, ikonia [00:02] Go away if you're going to be unhelpful [00:02] Mark761966: I'm advising you that your own custom distro is nothing to do with ubuntu or the #ubuntu support channel [00:02] have we some keyboard editor program ?! i want change "/" place in keyboard but don't know how [00:02] !topic | Mark761966: [00:02] Mark761966:: Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information.

I tried playing them on rhythmbox and the sound like vinyl records with lots of skips in theme. Anyone have any clue what's wrong and how to fix it (besides transcoding the files manually myself)? [00:08] ikonia i don't know that thing u sad :-( [00:08] Hello can someone help me [00:08] Jack_Sparrow: I wonder how many of them tried to put the CD in the floppy drive? :P [00:08] ikonia what's that ?! is that a command line ?!

Just ask your question :) [00:08] !someone | smartboyalex77 [00:08] smartboyalex77: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:08] will ubuntu always bee(buzz!) the best from here on out? [00:08] x_: the channel #winehq on freenode is full of guys using wine and support it. They may have more expeirence knowing if it will work with wine or not [00:09] lappy you want to mount a windows partition, right? .. Mount means making a foreign filesystem looks like part of a main tree. [00:09] I did [00:09] mushy: thats personal opinion [00:09] is it unsafe to allow zone transferring on large network? [00:09] thanks [00:09] TheZealot: it certainly can be [00:09] okay [00:09] how do I change the path of music(in the places menu) to a different path (one on another partition) [00:09] what do you mean opinion? what more could you need i havnt had to really do anything and my linux runs like a champ [00:09] what other linux can do that [00:09] squid is downloaded, what now? [00:09] mushy: thats great. Well done [00:10] Clay_The_Arc: you need to configure it, the link I sent you earlier will give you some ideas [00:10] WHEN I leave my pc turned on with p2p active (downloading), the wireless connection disconnect and i need to reboot pc to solv the problem :S [00:10] can anybody help me? [00:10] if i want my pdf's to run with xpdf instead of evince, how do i configure that? [00:10] what link? [00:10] smartboyalex77: that's nautilus' bookmarks [00:10] Clay_The_Arc: for your needs I suggest using as large a cache option as possible [00:10] is there any way to expand the /home folder by just resizing the partition? [00:10] i stpped out of the room and missed it [00:10] Clay_The_Arc: that way your dial up access will be optimised for browsing [00:10] ikonia, cant i set it to delete it? [00:10] i got compiz on my systemits so pretty [00:10] Clay_The_Arc: delete what ? [00:10] nvm [00:10] Hey, having troubles getting sound from my microphone in ubuntu 7.10...i have a creative audigy 4 soundcard [00:10] lol, wasn't thinking clearly [00:10] :] [00:10] Clay_The_Arc: no problem [00:10] onats: Be aware that resizing any partition on a drive will reset all uuid's on that partition... [00:11] what's the link for squid configuration again if you please [00:11] If there any way to jail an SSH user into their home directory? [00:11] !squid | Clay_The_Arc [00:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about squid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:11] ah [00:11] nautilus ? I am a total newbie by the way (I installed it 2 hours ago) [00:11] Nautilus is a file manager [00:11] jack_Sparrow, what would be the effect of this? [00:12] smartboyalex77: go to any filemanager window (like, the home directory or somethnig), then there's a bookmarks menu. Go to 'Edit Bookmarks' [00:12] FATAL: Could not determine fully qualified hostname. Please set 'visible_hostname' [00:12] ^ how do i set "visible_hostname" [00:12] Clay_The_Arc: what are you doing? [00:12] typed "sudo squid" [00:12] n it returned that [00:12] onats: grub and fstab will no longer point to the correct partitions.. and you most likely will not boot into ubuntu [00:12] hello [00:12] Clay_The_Arc: why did you do that ? [00:12] Clay_The_Arc: I told you it has to be configured before you use it [00:12] idk [00:13] i know :P [00:13] Clay_The_Arc: then why did you do it === pacman is now known as pacman__ [00:13] Clay_The_Arc: if you're not interested in listening to help and advice, you won't continue to get it [00:13] WHEN I leave my pc turned on with p2p active (downloading), the wireless connection disconnect and i need to reboot pc to solv the problem :S === hrvoje is now known as hh08 [00:13] I'm interested in listening to it. [00:13] can anyone recommend me a good online music player through which i can listen to my songs on my computer? [00:13] Clay_The_Arc: then go and google for squid, I've told you what not to do, and you just did it [00:13] :\ k [00:14] I put XP on an old HD and I'm wanting to set it up so it asks me on boot up which OS to load [00:14] pacman__: you need to boot from a hard disk with grub on, then configure grub to be aware of both ubuntu and your new windows XP [00:14] pacman__: offtopic [00:14] rsk: thats not offtopic [00:14] hello [00:14] where do you set default pdf viewer program? [00:14] I saw where I can make the timeout quicker [00:15] ikonia: i never saw anything ubuntu related in there [00:15] i searched google and can't find the answer to this, but i installed Pidgin through the repos and i cant figure out where to put plugins [00:15] pacman__: ok, so you have grub installed, thats great [00:15] can someone help me with that? [00:15] ikonia: but if you say soo. [00:15] rsk: wanting the boot loader to offer windows as a boot option [00:15] jack_sparrow, its just my /home folder, which is separated to another partition.. i plan to extend the size of this partition.. its located between my / partition and the swap space.. so only the swap will be moved.. will it still have the same effect/ [00:15] ? [00:15] Hey, having troubles getting sound from my microphone in ubuntu 7.10...i have a creative audigy 4 soundcard [00:15] what to do? [00:15] kdubois: easiest thing, right click a pdf file, properties, open with tab, and choose the program you want [00:15] mats_: alsamixer and unmute mic ? [00:16] not muted... [00:16] okI think I figured it out thanx [00:16] does anyone use MPD? [00:16] hi there all channel :) [00:16] IndyGunFreak: of course, but i want it to by default not use evince, which hogs memory insatiably [00:16] bluejay: mpd ? [00:16] onats: Changing ANY partition on that drive.. [00:16] seems like non of my virtual consoles are working, it's just black when i do ctrl+alt + number. what can i do to make them work again? [00:16] ikonia// Music Player Daemon [00:16] jack_Sparrow, ok [00:16] thanks [00:17] ikonia, i'm on google and see no guides to setting it up :$ [00:17] bluejay: never heard of it [00:17] kdubois: it shouldnj't do that.. ,at least it doesn't for me, i chose the program i wanted, and it always uses it. [00:17] onats: it can be fixed.. just wanted to prepare you [00:17] ikonia// o.. [00:17] Clay_The_Arc: thats not my concern, I offered you advice and you did the exact opposite [00:17] kdubois: probably have to change the mimetype application for .pdf's [00:17] you could uninstall evince, that would guarantee it doesn't get used..lol [00:17] hi I have a laptop that I'm using to read ebooks by rotating the screen with xrandr so that i can hold the laptop like a book, the only issue is that when I run xrandr -o left, the trackpad doesn't rotate so moving the cursor up actually moves it left. Anyone have a solution, I'm using the synaptics driver [00:17] IndyGunFreak: i'll guess i'll just have to delve into system internals to find out where it is.... [00:17] I'm in the terminal and what the super.user password [00:18] :\, I was awaiting your link and wanted to see what errors it got when ran normally [00:18] I installed apache2 and no-ip via apt and everything was working perfectly until I tried to access the server through no-ip. Running "host no-ipaddress" gives me my IP but if I put "no-ipaddress" in firefox, I can't open it. [00:18] ericmoritz\0: thats a very specific requirment, I'd put money on it not being in the touchpad driver [00:18] dury: there is no super user password [00:18] jack_Sparrow, ok, i will try it, thanks for the tip. won't find out how to fix til i go for it [00:18] does anyone know where to put pidgin plugins? [00:18] does anyone know if the current compiz fusion in ubuntu gutsy is stable or not? [00:18] meoblast001 ~/.purple [00:19] i did uninstall evince :-D [00:19] sethk, i'm back, tell me whenever your ready (if you see this) [00:19] kregg: stable [00:19] kregg: stable as in what? [00:19] kregg: the default installation is stable [00:19] is there anyway of batch transforming 15 4000x3000 images into 640x480 or 1280x1024 images ? i hate doing this manually [00:19] kregg: idk but i can tell you it acts funny on some video cards [00:19] kregg: its a stable release [00:19] yes that what i mean [00:19] thanks [00:19] kregg: Hasn't crashed yet for me, and I've been running it since launch. [00:19] arooni: I'm sure you could script it with image magic [00:19] i have intel onboard chipset graphics [00:19] it's not that it acts extremely funny [00:19] kregg: I'm using it, I do have bugs with it, but that doesn't mean it's not stable [00:19] kregg: if its an intel 965, that driver has problemo's.... [00:19] Anyone know? I have a creative audigy 4 and my microphone is unmuted in alsa mixer, but still no sound... [00:19] someone has installed "hjb3_0-linux.sfx" that's hotjava browser [00:20] dury: do you have a problem with it ? [00:20] yeah [00:20] dury: do you want to share them [00:20] mats_: go ask in #alsa for better results [00:20] but i have noticed that, for example when I leave the comp for 15 mins and come back, i can't resume my session i.e. i am forced to push the reset button on my pc [00:20] Thanks! [00:20] yeah why not [00:20] kregg: well with intel chips compiz-fusion won't work that great anyways [00:20] kregg: suspend is causing a lot of problems in general [00:20] Can I tell mkswap to do a write test (not read only as in mkswap -c) or to use a list from badblocks? [00:20] ikonia: of course [00:21] suspend? [00:21] even in previous versions? [00:21] i mean i still have my dapper with me [00:21] kregg: it could be the driver you usign as well if you use the intel driver since it crashes all the time on certain chipsets [00:21] well it doesn't crash all the time [00:21] kregg: suspend with desktop effects etc, has been known to cause issues [00:21] ikonia, Please give me some help on setting up Squid there is like no guides to it on Google. [00:22] it crashes quite randomly [00:22] but at least once a day [00:22] it would be like I'll be playing Nexuiz on my pc [00:22] 흑 [00:22] and then i go back and everthing seems really laggy and horrible [00:23] Hi! Is there any program with what I could take video of my screen? Thank you [00:23] If i tell you my motherboard name, could you determine what chipset it is (if it is this imfamous p965 one)? [00:23] kregg: just use lcpci [00:23] kregg: see what intel video card pops up [00:23] PriitM_// gtk-RecordMyDesktop [00:23] bluejay, thank you very much [00:23] i'm in windows right now... :( [00:23] what's the channel for C++? [00:23] PriitM_// np :) [00:23] jacob: #c++ [00:24] jacob: ##c++ [00:24] um, can someone else help me with my dual booting problems? sethk seems to be busy [00:24] ikonia, is TOR the same as Squid? === allbert is now known as allbert_ [00:24] Clay_The_Arc: nothing like it [00:24] Mkay [00:24] so my best bet really is to abandon compiz then? [00:24] What can cause this: When you login to a ubuntu server, through putty (ssh port:22), executing commands kinda lags? [00:24] ugh ;|, there's nothing on google on configuration ofit [00:25] ipiz: network lag ? === joerlend is now known as XiXaQ [00:25] Clay_The_Arc: there are many things [00:25] im on google [00:25] ipiz, bad connection? [00:25] and every result [00:25] is just ppl saying they've isntalled it [00:25] not how [00:25] Clay_The_Arc: I apologise but I'm through helping you as I was walking you through it step by step and you continued to do your own thing and ignore what I was saying [00:26] I didn't ignore what you were saying. [00:26] Clay_The_Arc: I just did a google search for Squid Setup, first search result comes up as a walkthrough... [00:26] Clay_The_Arc, there is a good howto by jdong on ubuntuforums.org if you look there. [00:26] ipiz: is it any specific commands, or just in general [00:26] realityiswhere, are you serious [00:26] can someone else help me with my dual booting problems? sethk seems to be busy [00:26] am_: what are the problems [00:26] :| i searched "how to configure squid on ubuntu 7.10" nothing :| [00:26] Anyone know where I can find instructions on how to compile a non-standard file on ubuntu? [00:26] Clay_The_Arc: you're being to specific. [00:26] Nvrnight: non-standard file ? [00:26] Clay_The_Arc: just look up how to configure squid since it pretty much the same [00:27] ikonia: i tried to install GAG, but first off its not graphical when i boot up, secondly the 4th thing it shows, Vista/Longhorn (Loader), doesnt load anything [00:27] ah [00:27] mkay [00:27] it says I need to use configure or something like that, sorry I'm a bit new to this stuff [00:27] Nvrnight: what are you trying to install ? [00:27] !info gag [00:27] ikonia: so i need Vista to be working, i dont really care if its graphical, it was working before... [00:27] Package gag does not exist in gutsy [00:27] a bin.tgz file [00:27] well thanks for your help [00:27] am_: gag ? [00:27] ikonia Possibly, if the ubuntu server is downloading a massive file, would that slow the "execute command lag" down? [00:27] and another thing [00:27] Nvrnight: which one ? [00:27] ipiz: yes [00:28] klassmodeler-0.8.bin.tgz [00:28] ipiz: your network "throughput" would be less [00:28] on my laptop [00:28] PriceChild Don't think so, but thanks for trying.. [00:28] ikonia: i think that was it, it was a graphical boot manager [00:28] ikonia: i did a google search, and it seemed to be the one people used [00:28] am_: I don't think gag is anything to do with ubuntu, I can't find any information on it (I'm searching) [00:28] ikonia and "throughput" is the amount of data that goes through the pipe for a period of time, correct? [00:28] ikonia: maybe it was GRUB? [00:29] using vista, I can get the wireless to work fine - it came built in with it. I use the ubuntu live disc (version Gutsy Gibbon) and it doesn't recognise it! [00:29] ipiz: yes, if you can say type 10 commands at once, then say the download is 8 commands worth, you can only use 2 commands at a time (as a very easy example) [00:29] am_: ahh grub [00:29] ikonia: i dont remember, one or the other...seth told me to get my something.lst, so i have it on my pastebin [00:29] am_: menu.lst [00:29] am_: when you boot your machine, what do you see ? [00:29] ikonia: yes...its here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48490/ [00:30] sorry to be a nag but can anyone help with my laptop situation [00:30] am_: ok, so what do you see when you boot [00:30] does anyone know how to use pidgin-rhythmbox after installing it? [00:30] ikonia: i see the opening thing, the white on black words, the first 3 being working Ubuntu boots, the fourth says Vista/Longhorn (Loader) [00:30] !wifi | kregg [00:30] what's the "Squid Dir" [00:30] :| [00:30] kregg: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:30] kregg: what situation [00:30] ikonia Alright, what if it's _not_ the download? What else could it be? [00:30] ikonia: the fourth one just restarts that menu [00:30] am_: what happens when you select xp [00:30] am_: no error ? [00:30] o [00:30] using vista, I can get the wireless to work fine - it came built in with it. I use the ubuntu live disc (version Gutsy Gibbon) and it doesn't recognise it! [00:30] ikonia: its vista, and nothing happens at all [00:30] didn't see the squid folder [00:30] nvm that [00:31] use !wifi command? [00:31] kregg: What's your wireless chipset? [00:31] kregg: having trouble w/ wireless on the live disks is pretty common. [00:31] oh god [00:31] !wifi | kregg [00:31] kregg: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:31] am_: try changing the hd(0,2) to hd(0,1) in the menu.lst file [00:31] thanks ubotu [00:31] am_: I'm only guessing at your partition layout [00:31] kregg: No... read the help file... [00:31] help file? [00:31] I really must find out why ctrl-alt-f1 gives me a black screen in x [00:31] !yourwelcome | kregg [00:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about yourwelcome - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:31] you mean the man pages? [00:31] I want bloody console :( [00:32] ikonia I understand about "Throughput", but wouldn't it have less "bandwdith" or wouldn't "bandwidth" have a key role on this? [00:32] ikonia: ok, but also i guessed on the sda3, im not really sure how to check but it had sounded farmiliar [00:32] ikonia, what editor opens .conf files?

[01:01] rb [01:01] no splash ether [01:01] brb [01:01] k [01:01] yeah just basic home user [01:01] brophat: and how much room you have to work with [01:01] I would say that's a bug [01:01] I have 200 gios [01:01] 200 gigs [01:02] Has anyone else had an issue with some videos being in b/w? [01:02] brophat, id say 50 for / is plenty then. :) [01:02] brophat: I'd go with .. oh.. 10 GB for / and the rest for /home.. [01:02] yea I have had videos issues [01:02] unless you use a lot of vmware images like i do. [01:02] brophat: as you see.. it differs a lot =).. [01:02] ok so just / and /home [01:02] brophat: make several ext3 partitions... [01:02] i have a 4gb hd total lol ;) [01:02] has anyone had any luck getting a geforce fx5700LE TV-out working? I've been at it for ages. I get cat it to work, but not with the nvidia drivers, which are required for mplayer... [01:02] I noticed it with a dvd first but I am watching a Frontline video online and have the same issue. Cranygeeks does not have this problem. [01:02] ikonia: i dont understand, sorry [01:03] sometimes when startup when I get into the loginscreen the video is dimmed or just looking discomboulated !?!?! [01:03] brophat: You never know when you may need another.. I have / root /home... /var and two spares plus swap [01:03] I have two hd so doen't that mean the two hd have to be on different partitions? [01:03] I get a white bar sometimes but that does not bug me. [01:03] Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone is having problems with Rythmbox getting podcasts? [01:03] brophat: for a simple home desktop machine I'd say one partition for / and one for /home.. for a serious machine I'd go with separate partitions for /var and /usr too [01:03] hey guys [01:03] is their a ubuntu like bug report room? [01:03] ha [01:03] ok thanks [01:03] I think they should know I found sum bugs [01:04] I deleted a truecrypt volume.. but I am not regaining the lost space [01:04] i have 2 screens again !!! [01:04] how to install programs that come in tar.gz format? [01:04] madman91: did you empty the trash? [01:04] the second screen moves though [01:04] brophat: YEs I would suggest you not try to combine them raid them .. [01:04] mats_: is it a binary or source? [01:04] mats_ you first need to extract it by using : tar -zxvf [01:04] Slart: I deleted.. and showed hidden folders.. deleted those as well.. its on a usb [01:04] if i have two hd, then how could i have just two partitions / and /home ? [01:04] hello everybody. is there anybody here who can help me with scsi problems in ubuntu? i have got an scsi streamer and an scsi cd-rw drive. both work good in any live distri i tested (Damnsmall, knoppix,...) but none of them is found with an installed xubuntu system. [01:04] is their a ubuntu-bug room [01:05] ipiz: Yeah, I extract with archive manager, but how to install afterwards? [01:05] wasme: How to check? [01:05] brophat: you still need a swap... what size are your partitions? [01:05] mats_ Read the INSTALL or README that came with it. [01:05] brophat: drives [01:05] brophat, waste of space, you only need 5-10 gig to run / on , and only 2x ram for /swap, [01:05] hi i have some problems with nvidia driver my kernel is "generic" this is normal? [01:05] madman91: how do you check how much space is left? [01:05] ipiz: Oh, right [01:05] brophat / and /home on different HD? .. [01:05] - [01:05] ipiz, that's not a problem [01:06] sladen df -h [01:06] hia ll [01:06] ipiz that would make / 80 gigs [01:06] Erealz: I don't think so.. there's a bugtracker I think [01:06] Slart: df and nautilus [01:06] --- [01:06] maddler df -h for human readable unit. [01:06] madman91: hmm.. ls -l shows the usb-stick to be empty? [01:06] I guess I am not understanding hahaha [01:06] what is V [01:06] killyou: yes.. generic is normal [01:06] !kernel [01:06] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [01:06] what is XRandR X [01:06] !smp | killyou [01:06] killyou: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed) [01:07] so if I have two hd then I could not have just / ?? [01:07] sladen, i have to install another ? [01:07] brophat, I have 2 hdd also , hdd 1 is 10 gig for windows , the rest for a download folder (70 gig ) , hdd2 10 gig / , 2 gig /swap and 60 gig for /home [01:07] brophat: how big is your hda or sda ? [01:07] brophat give 15GB to root partition, 2GB to swap and the rest to /home. [01:07] Slart: no, there are 4 folders [01:07] Slart: let me cut .. h/o [01:07] madman91: pastebin [01:07] I need to know how exactly to file a good bug report I have a launchpad account but I know how to go about getting the logs and stuff they require? I wana make sure I doing it right so they can fix these problems [01:07] Slart: I'm cutting the folders off [01:07] brophat: FYI you can trust Pelo to give good info... [01:07] then I'll try formatting Slart [01:08] Erealz, the logs are in /var/log [01:08] Jack_Sparrow, stop spreading lies about me [01:08] errros and all that go their? [01:08] :) [01:08] Erealz, they should [01:08] lol [01:08] madman91: that really ought to work.. just deleting it should work too.. but it seems it didn [01:08] is it true that if you have two hd and want to use them both up for ubuntu, then you can't do it with just one / partition? [01:08] Can anyone tell me how to find the name of the module for my NIC so I can add it to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules? [01:08] k well is their a how to on correctly fileing a report? [01:08] brophat: nope. I have 5 drives and just one for / [01:08] brophat: true... other than lvm etc [01:09] brophat, you can'gt run linux with just one partiton, you need a partition for swap , but yes you can have a partition over two hdd [01:09] no its not true, you only need one / [01:09] Slart that means that you / spans over two hd how is that possible? [01:09] ikonia: i had vista preinstalled, then i installed ubuntu [01:09] Sysinfo for 'austin': Linux 2.6.22-14-generic running KDE 3.5.8, CPU: Intel(R)Pentium(R)4CPU2.60GHz at 2590 MHz (5185 bogomips), , RAM: 1316/1511MB, 140 proc's, 5.6h up [01:09] !raid | brophat [01:09] brophat: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [01:09] the other hdds can have whatever you want [01:09] Pelo please, you know what I mean [01:09] brophat: oh.. I mean.. you can't put / on more than one drive.. you can still use the other drives for files and stuff.. [01:09] ikonia: its not a panning thing... i think its detecting my lcd's out of order, because the left lcd is dfp-1 and the right is dfp-0, but they are in proper order because when i boot the left is primary [01:09] Slart: yeah, odd [01:09] so no tutorial on fileing a bugreport right? [01:09] Slart so then what is your other hd? [01:09] brophat, I do know and I gave you a links for raid and lvm [01:10] brophat: or.. wait.. that's wrong too.. bah.. this is hard.. [01:10] brophat: I have one drive for my.. home ripped movies.. one for .. ahem.. home ripped music.. etc =) [01:10] Erealz, check on the launchpad site there should be a howto somewhere in there [01:10] I want to know cause when I partition my second hd I have to call it something but I can't call it / because that is already taken up [01:10] Can anyone tell me how to find the name of the module for my NIC (Atheros L1 PCI-E Gigabit LAN controllers) so I can add it to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules? [01:11] to play games and video works well i have to use another kernel? "generic" don't install [01:11] iight I guess ill do that [01:11] brophat: the easiest way to do this is to use your smallest drive for swap and /, and use all of your larger drive for /home [01:11] killyou: no.. generic kernel is the normal one.. you don't have to install another [01:11] brophat, / and everthing else is only the mount point partitons don'T have names === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [01:11] oh just for the record I think 7.04 is more stable then 7.10 [01:11] Slart, but i can install nvdia driver [01:11] don't work [01:11] Erealz, I agree with you [01:12] wasme that would make my / and swap 80 gigs hahaha [01:12] im pretty sad about that [01:12] killyou: that's because of something else.. it's not because you're using the generic kernel [01:12] !nvidia | killyou [01:12] killyou: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:12] brophat: yes ... you could do something more complex like create a 3rd partition on your smallest drive and combine it with the single partition on your largest drive using something like RAID, but that's kind of complex for someone new to linux/unix [01:12] killyou: look at that url there.. follow those instructions [01:12] imo its easiest to install nvidia drivers with envy [01:12] Slart, ok [01:12] thnx pelo I knew it wasn't just me [01:12] Erealz, think of 7.10 as a step toward 8.04, I personnaly wasn'T that crazy about edgy 6.10 [01:12] !envy [01:12] envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [01:13] brophat: or you could create a third partition on the smallest drive and mount it to a subdirectory under /home and use it for, like, music or something. Depending on how much of whatever it is you have you want to put there. [01:13] wasme yeah it does sound complex, and i have been using linux for five years, not new to it [01:13] yea in my opinion 7.10 is a beta release [01:13] Erealz: then you are wrong [01:13] Is there any way to get the xorg.conf that ubuntu detected and installed with my system? [01:13] but I do understand what you have all said thanks [01:14] I hate to say it like that but it almost as if they didn't do a better job at testing b4 the release [01:14] Erealz: and the fact that you are unable to do the basics in ubuntu suggests your opinion is ill informed [01:14] synx_, what is your video card ? [01:14] brophat: here's a good text about partitioning http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/requirements.html [01:14] i will prob do what one of you said, that is make my 80 gig just / and swap, and my 120 gig /home [01:14] lol do basics [01:14] thanks Slart [01:14] if you knew me then you wouldn't call me basic user [01:14] you dumnshit [01:14] lol [01:14] really [01:14] n00b [01:15] brophat, I tink yo are wasting hdd space with 80 gig for / and swap but have fun [01:15] brophat: that text is a bit... over ambitious sometimes.. but it does explain a lot of the thinking behind it [01:15] Erealz, please donT, do that [01:15] Erealz: that language is uncalled for [01:15] i have also found 7.10 very well done.. once you remove compiz :) [01:15] Erealz: and calling me a noob is ill informed also [01:15] Pelo what are my options? just the raid solution? [01:15] ikonia: im using GAG - Graphical Boot Manager [01:15] Is there a LVM solution for Ubuntu? I bit the bullet and installed Fedora 8, and I like some things. [01:15] ikonia: http://gag.sourceforge.net/ [01:16] !lvm | SpookyET [01:16] SpookyET: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [01:16] am_: ubuntu does not support gag [01:16] SpookyET: yes, it's available for ubuntu [01:16] brophat: As I said, you could create a third parition and put it in a subdirectory under /home for stuff. Or you could just create a syslink from a directory in / to somewhere under /home [01:16] Hello ago [01:16] ikonia: guess that would explain it lol [01:16] wasme yeah ok [01:16] ikonia: any idea how to undo it? [01:16] I was on here earlier as Gre2 and was having video problems. I updated to 7.10 and it seems I have my video drivers installed, but now I've hit another wall [01:16] am_: no [01:17] brophat, presonnaly, I would make a seperate partition on your 80 gig hdd for /home and then make your 120 gig hdd one partiton for other stuff, you can set the mount point for that partiton in your /home folder if you want, use that part for game or video or downloads or what ever you want [01:17] Error: Unable to open /dev/mapper/truecrypt0 - unrecognised disk label. [01:17] hi [01:17] ikonia: it wasnt working anyway, but now i cant boot into vista [01:17] does anyone here no why java in ubuntu is way slower than it is in windows? its kinda annoying cuz sometimes it makes my firefox freeze [01:17] <[chr0n0s]> Jack_Sparrow, thanks a lot.. i can boot into ubuntu now :) [01:17] am_: I can't support gag [01:17] hi people i need help for kernel configuration [01:17] is there a tool like Everest for Ubuntu, that will let me know my motherboard brand/model? [01:17] 1) How do I install my 3d drivers (if they aren't already) and 2) I have no sound whatsoever. [01:17] someone to helpme plis === [chr0n0s] is now known as amitprakash [01:17] Did I help you with something? HOw unlike me. [01:17] doorknob60, cause java sucks in general [01:17] Pelo good idea [01:17] !ask [01:17] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [01:17] well i play runescape so i need it alot lol [01:17] !ati | LinuxEzGer8 [01:17] LinuxEzGer8: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:17] Jack_Sparrow, how dare you , you were warned , no more helping ppl [01:17] Jack_Sparrow, yeah :) with the uuids ... facing another array of problems now :D [01:17] yeah I will call it something like pirate music hahah [01:17] ikonia: i just mean to get my normal booter back working [01:18] Pelo: Sorry it wont happen again.. se everyone tomorrow..

Is there a way I can check (such like Windows where I can go to a profile of some sort)? [01:18] ikonia: oh ok, ill try to figure it out [01:19] i compiled the kernel and make a kernel package with make-kpkg and now have a deb with 202mg huge!!! [01:19] hlep me please [01:19] gino: help with what ? [01:19] I'm very leary of just going for it and hoping for the best. I'm on hour 15 of trying to get Linux up and running because I kept just trying stuff. [01:19] is to bid the deb [01:19] yeah I understand now [01:19] gino: that's how you've built your kernel [01:19] gino, not many ppl in this channel have compiled their own kernel, maybe you can get help on this in #debian or in ##linux [01:20] gino: custom kernels are a specific to users needs, we can't support your kernel [01:20] I want to have fun on the internet... or die trying! [01:20] brophat, you do understand how mountpoints work right ? [01:20] ok [01:20] thanx [01:20] where i go??! [01:20] gino, just type /join ##linux or /join #debian [01:20] thanx [01:20] Pelo yes [01:21] brophat, ok , just checking [01:21] ok haha [01:21] hey, is slashdot down? [01:21] Linux Geniuses: Is there a way I can see if my Nvidia 3d drivers are installed? I know the regular drivers are (through Restricted Drivers Management), but I can't tell if the 3d ones are [01:21] when is slashdot ever not down ? [01:21] Pelo you know what it is is that this stuff comes up so infrequent that it is hard to remember stuff that I once undertood like a year ago [01:21] LinuxEzGer8: the restricted drivers manager ARE the 3d drivers [01:22] LinuxEzGer8, there are no linux geniueses in here, only users like you [01:22] hey, i just tried a fresh install and grub is giving me error 15 at boot, any idea what i'm going wrong? [01:22] well I am off to install 7.10 thanks for that help [01:22] On my laptop, when I installed linux, I didn't have an internet connection handy. Now synaptic is not able to connect to server.... [01:22] LinuxEzGer8: try running "glxgears" [01:22] brophat, it's also difficult to evaluate the level of expertise of the ppl asking question, and even then , ppl are experts on some stuff and totaly useless with other things [01:23] Xacarith tried apt-get update? [01:23] Pelo I totally understand [01:23] I want to have fun on the internet... or die trying! [01:23] * Pelo is useless with permissions and rc levels , among other things [01:23] smilodon: you've said that 3 times now [01:23] smilodon: please stop, this is a support channel for support requests, not idle statments [01:23] ikonia: how do i install GRUB in the 'MBR' [01:23] smilodon, take your laptop to a busy highway [01:23] oki.. i have lost my root password and i have no other users on the system.. is there a way to reset it [01:23] !grub | am_ [01:23] Pelo i have pockets of knowledge [01:23] am_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [01:23] Hey my wireless usb adaptor doesn't support WEP or WAP with linux. I configured the router to only allow my mac address, and I wrote a script that checks constantly for new ip address's connected to the network. Am I somewhat safe? I'm routing the majority of my network apps through a socks 5 proxy server using ssh. ANy ideas on how I could secure myself? [01:23] am_: read that link [01:23] ikonia: ok [01:23] Is anyone having trouble getting full podcast downloads with Rythmbox? [01:24] amitprakash, your root password is the same you use to log in with as a users [01:24] amitprakash: you lost your root password? or your user password? [01:24] Slart, root [01:24] Hello [01:24] Pelo, i am not using a user login [01:24] amitprakash: surely you're not running as root? [01:24] amitprakash root doesn't have a password, it uses the same passsword as your user. [01:25] !root [01:25] 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 [01:25] Slart, yes i am :( [01:25] how can i get vlc to be used in Firefox? [01:25] ok [01:25] amitprakash, there is no actual root in ubuntu , your user password that you use with sudo is what you hve [01:25] amitprakash root doesn't have a password, it uses the same passsword as your user. [01:25] ipiz, i set it using udo passwd root and then i deleted the user [01:25] Any twinview experts in here? [01:25] ricanelite install the vlc-firefox-plugin [01:25] any chance of some help with getting a grub error 15? [01:25] amitprakash: that was pretty silly [01:25] ricanelite, remove totem-mozilla and mozilla-mplayer [01:25] i use twinview...might be able to help [01:25] flamsmark, hold on [01:25] ikonia, i know :( [01:25] is vlc better to have? [01:25] e: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavalible) [01:25] amitprakash that was a dumb move. [01:25] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [01:25] amitprakash: well.. let's just look past the whole "running stuff as root is bad"-issue.. you're supposed to be able to reset it [01:25] pelo, yes sir [01:26] ikonia, more like i have lost access to both the users and the root [01:26] Xacarith Do you have another synaptic running or perhaps update manager running? [01:26] amitprakash: yes, I can understnad that [01:26] Slart: What does glxgears do? [01:26] amitprakash: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3609.html [01:26] flamsmark, do you get as far as the menu ? [01:26] nope [01:26] is vlc better to have on firefox? [01:26] LinuxEzGer8: shows you some pretty cogwheels.. and prints out a fps-numer [01:26] ah [01:26] cool [01:26] ricanelite What's the point? [01:26] command? [01:26] flamsmark, did you mess areound with the boot order of your hdds ? [01:27] LinuxEzGer8: ehh.. it's "glxgears" [01:27] ricanelite What's the point? .. What is it, that your trying to achieve? [01:27] well to play videos and streaming audio on the sites [01:27] hey.. [01:27] ikonia, Slart : i kinda like copied my / partition to another one and booted from that so all user permissions are messed up and ownedships have changed [01:27] amitprakash: re-install [01:27] pelo, mess around? [01:27] ikonia, i copied so as to avoid a reinstall :) [01:27] flamsmark, change the boot order of your hdds [01:27] amitprakash: ikonia speaks the harsh truth here.. I'd reinstall too [01:27] Get the same on the lap top and not that I know of [01:27] amitprakash: re-install, your system is a mess [01:27] pelo, since when? [01:27] will this work to as a launcher in ubuntu? "export CEDEGA_PATH=/home/ladynikon/.cedega2 && $CEDEGA_PATH/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux" [01:27] flamsmark, did you delete the /boot/grub/menu.lst file ? [01:28] flamsmark, since the last time you booted properly [01:28] pelo, this is just after an install [01:28] Slart, well i have a lot of packages on it.. and i cant reallydownload them all again [01:28] aff omg i don't what i do i can run any kind of video xvid dvid dvd [01:28] flamsmark, a fresh install ? [01:28] amitprakash _again_ that was a dumb move. [01:28] more like i dont know what all i have on the system [01:28] pelo, absotively [01:28] any site that can help me installing ubuntu on a eeepc? [01:28] amitprakash: you really should re-nstall and download them again, your system is a mess [01:28] Is 2200 fps good? [01:28] ya [01:28] ipiz, well it all began with a bad partiion [01:28] how can i change those windows.. in the 3d effect mode... when i drag one program to another i can see my other screens but how do i switch between them [01:28] I got guitar hero III to run under wine, but the controller doesn't work... it's USB based and works fine under windows.... am I missing something? [01:28] ikonia, no other way around it? [01:29] amitprakash: well.. then get commercial help.. or buy lots of pizza for your local linux-geek =) [01:29] rimtech: join #winehq, solid support in there [01:29] ipiz None should be [01:29] wine doesnt really like usb [01:29] amitprakash: not without a lot of effort [01:29] flamsmark ,, boot the live cd , mount the hdd with ubuntu on i and browse to /boot/grub/ see if you find a file called menu.lst [01:29] panels or whatever.. [01:29] Slart, how long do I let the gears turn? Is there anything else they do?

Thought i had to do that before all commands [01:35] kbrooks: how do I check to see if my DNS is leaking? [01:35] MikeH, check the power savingmanagement stuff in the prefs menu [01:35] Slart: Same result. Nothing. === richard__ is now known as SyntheticXTC [01:35] LinuxEzGer8: nope.. just stuff that has to be run as root.. things that change computer configuration and such [01:35] Pelo, set to Never by default.

[01:37] pelo, having trouble using the rescue mode, going to make a livecd [01:37] LinuxEzGer8: ok.. then you're using the binary driver.. and you've got 3d acceleration [01:37] Slart: Is that good? [01:37] Pelo, Monitor signal isn't being turned off. [01:38] MikeH, then I don'T know [01:38] will ubuntu detect my raid from the install cd? [01:38] Slart: Forgive my ignorance. Day two of my Linux adventure. [01:38] LinuxEzGer8: well.. I would say so, yes [01:38] Fezzler: where are you trying to add it? to the panel? [01:38] Slart: What would you attribute to the slow fps?

Was told it runs about 5.2Ghz [01:39] why? [01:39] i need to choose another network than the one i am on [01:39] NullName, that is what i mean by a DNS leak [01:39] LinuxEzGer8: that little program (glxgears) isn't a good program to see if your computer is fast or slow.. it doesn't really measure real world performance.. I get about 10000 fps with a NVIDIA 8800 GTX.. [01:40] kbrooks: what do you mean "app is not resolving"?? [01:40] will ubuntu detect my raid from the install cd? [01:40] NullName, i just corrected what i said [01:40] ovid, possibly but no garrantie [01:40] Slart: Thanks for your help.

[01:58] ovid sorry, I am also having a /home [01:58] Okay, so I've DLed it === DrUnKnMuNkY1 is now known as DrUnKnMuNkY [01:58] Dragged and dropped [01:58] It's in a tar file. [01:58] okay, slightly different plan - can i install some of the server bits (and the kernel, preferably) from the desktop livecd? === lhoerste is now known as Luke [01:58] i have / and /home, how big should / be? [01:58] I've extracted it to desktop [01:59] Is there a tv tuner card that works with Ubuntu? [01:59] flamsmark: not sure, but the kernel sort of has to be installed, right? [01:59] If I go into terminal, can I just do a "sh" on it? [01:59] well, a kernel [01:59] but not neccesarily the one i want, bjbdrgn [02:00] Fezzler: tv tuner cards are a little hit and miss for linux support. I'd suggest searching google with the *exact* make and model number your looking for. [02:00] LinuxEzGer8: didn't they have instructions on the creative site? [02:00] ovid, try the text mode install on the alternate cd [02:00] flamsmark: not sure if it's on the cd, but the linux packages probably have it [02:00] this might be a silly question, but is there a way to find out the date on which I installed linux on my system ? [02:00] bjbdrgn: That fullscreen toggling action is now in a plugin called "extrawm" (Extra WM Actions), which is inside compiz-fusion-plugins-extra. [02:00] Slart: In the readme it says I need to have the fully configured source for ALSA and my Linux Kernal [02:01] LinuxEzGer8, yes, but it's the same as just running it in the terminal without the sh [02:01] Pir8: if you get an answer, please let me know, I'm interested in this as well [02:01] maddler, ok :) [02:01] Fyda: ahh, downloading everything that matched compiz right now [02:01] Sethk: How do you run something in terminal without sh? [02:01] LinuxEzGer8, running it under sh is the default. As long as the script is marked executable (as in chmod +x) the sh isn't needed, although it doesn't hurt. [02:01] I have / and /home, how big should I make / ?? [02:01] LinuxEzGer8, you simply type in the name [02:01] sethk: thanks! [02:01] hmm foso go to System->administration->synaptic package manager [02:01] LinuxEzGer8: I can't really help you with the alsa source.. I've never messed with that [02:01] bjbdrgn, but will it mess things about to install them later? [02:01] LinuxEzGer8, if you were to say sh xyz it's the same as just typing xyz [02:01] bjbdrgn: If you used the standard dist-upgrader I think compiz would have been auto-installed already... maybe not plugins-extra though. [02:02] flamsmark: not sure, I installed Kubuntu from a server install [02:02] bjbdrgn what did you do, apt-get install kubuntu-desktop? [02:02] Slart: Thanks anyway! And thanks for all your help. I think Seth wants to take a bite. :D Sethk: How do I know if I have "configured source for the Linux kernel and ALSA which you want to use for this device driver"? [02:02] flamsmark, no impact on anything later [02:03] foso? [02:03] flamsmark: yeah, and turned off services except for ssh [02:03] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=609608 <- This is my problem. Kindly help. Anyone! [02:03] doorknob60 i did, and i got the python files listed in the readme [02:03] oh u did [02:03] hey everyone, I accidently set the wrong partition as a linux swap, corrected it but for some reason my windows install is still seeing it oddly can't assign it a drive letter [02:03] what is the proper way to mount an external hd? Im doing sudo mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/sdf1 ./book and it still wont let me write to it without sudo [02:03] LinuxEzGer8, obviously if you installed them, then you know they are present. You can use the synaptic package manager to view what's installed and what isn't. [02:03] anyone know how I can fix that, short of formatting? [02:03] doorknob60 yeah im installing right now [02:03] so install the pythin files then try ./configure again [02:03] LinuxEzGer8, by default the kernel headers are installed. By default the compiler is not, so you'll need: sudo apt-get install build-essential [02:03] ok thanks! [02:03] then hopefully it wont give any errors [02:04] Sethk: I am pretty sure I'm gtg on the Linux (7.10 ubuntu) but the ALSA has me worried. [02:04] bjbdrgn, so if i really want a something that works as a server, but i can run a local x usefully on too, would you recommend that? [02:04] Sethk: ah [02:04] madman91, check for the timestamp on your /etc/fstab file. [02:04] mular, both the windows install and the linux install will see all partitions. Windows doesn't necessarily understand the type of a linux partition. Linux is smarter and understands the types of all windows partitions. [02:05] hey guys can u recomen some aplication for send and recived fax. I have Ubuntu [02:05] sethk, is there anyway I can get it to read / write on that odd partition? [02:05] LinuxEzGer8, you may have to install some or all of alsa, but it's not difficult to do. [02:05] Sethk: is ALSA standard? [02:05] mular, you mean windows? [02:05] yup [02:05] LinuxEzGer8, yes, on the desktop install [02:05] sethk, not really,try total commander [02:05] I know this is ubuntu but started here lol [02:05] what is the proper way to mount an external hd? Im doing sudo mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/sdf1 ./book and it still wont let me write to it without sudo [02:05] mular, you can format it as a windows partition, but then of course, linux won't use it for swap [02:05] Sethk: Sorry to ask stupid questions, but how do I know how much ALSA I have installed? [02:05] !alsa [02:05] 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 [02:06] LinuxEzGer8, easiest way is to use synaptic, the gui front end of the package manager. Installed things have a solid green box on the left, installed things have an empty box (that you can check to install) [02:06] are there any apps in ubuntu to use your webcam as a security camera? [02:06] doorknob60, sending a message [02:06] aye I see so no way to "change" it back.. ubuntu still see's it as NTFS and so does windows.. but its partition magic that tells me its a linux swap lol bugger [02:06] Fyda: thanks, worked fine, and i'm upgraded properly [02:06] have so much data on it don't want to format ;( [02:06] mular, if you made it linux swap, the data is most likely already gone [02:07] mular, sounds as if perhaps you didn't actually save the partition change to make it linux swap. [02:07] Sethk: Should I just install everything ALSA? [02:07] --help [02:07] mular, do fdisk -l on the disk, see what it thinks the partitions are [02:07] LinuxEzGer8, if you have plenty of disk space, then sure. [02:07] says ntfs [02:07] err wait [02:08] /dev/sdb1 1 54426 437176813+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris === roe is now known as roe_ [02:08] mular, ok, windows will see that as unused space. [02:08] windows says ntfs - the datas still all there but windows can't see it.. it did at one time but I just formatted and reinstalled windows after a bad idea of just using virtualbox [02:08] doorknob60 did you get it? [02:08] nope [02:08] is there bitchx aviable for ubuntu? [02:08] fat_rat, yes [02:08] Sethk: I built this machine to just run WoW [02:08] fat_rat: yep [02:08] since the reinstall, windows sees it as NTFS unknown file system.. no way to fix that then? [02:09] lucian: for fat filesystem, it defaults the ownership and group to the process...since you're using sudo then i guess it is setting it to root...ls -l would verify. there is an option to set the user and group id for fat... [02:09] Sethk: So space is not a problem [02:09] fat_rat apt-cache search bitchx [02:09] sethk: apt-get? [02:09] LinuxEzGer8, ok, then just check all of them, make your life easier. [02:09] fat_rat, search in synaptic; I don't remember the exact package name. [02:09] robdig: what is that option. . because i cant use mount without sudo [02:09] fine, ignore me [02:09] anyone know how big I should make / if I also have /home ?? [02:09] Sehtk: Done. Should I go ahead and install the driver for my sound card? [02:09] flamsmark, hey, you have to type faster. :) [02:10] sethk: thx [02:10] LinuxEzGer8, if it isn't already installed, yes. [02:10] brophat: 10-15 gb should do [02:10] sethk but i was in there :( [02:10] doorknob60, now? [02:10] flamsmark, :) [02:10] nothing [02:10] Ack utorrent is stuck in the system tray and i cant get it out, ive tried restarting it and even rebooting, an ideas? [02:10] doorknob60 isn't that kind of large? I thought 500 megs [02:10] idk... [02:10] lucian: uid=,gid= [02:10] "This product will only support 64-bit Operating Systems" [02:10] can someone help me out on installing icecast & mpd? [02:10] a lot of programs dont install into home [02:11] und in like /usr and stuff [02:11] idk [02:11] LinuxEzGer8, that's a binary, then. A 32 bit version must also be available [02:11] LinuxEzGer8, which card/driver? [02:11] more than 500mb though [02:11] Does anyone know of an unstable repo for Ubuntu or at least one that keeps an up to date version of Pidgin? [02:11] so sudo mount -t vfat -o rw,uid=myusername,gid=myusername /dev/sdf1 ./book ? [02:11] doorknob60 im seeing yours but i dont think youre getting mine [02:11] weird cuz im not getting yours [02:11] brophat, well, it depends on what you want to install. You can get the o/s with console support running in about 128 meg, but that's not what most people want. [02:11] Sound Blaster Xfi Xtreme Audio [02:12] What's the command to re-create the xorg.conf file? Without the questions part. [02:12] sethk if I was gonna do that I would not need this channel haha [02:12] doorknob60, basically i was gonna send you the whole error, but it says i dont have libwnck1.0 [02:12] lucian: think so, checking to see if they want numeric values (surely they wouldn't...) [02:12] LinuxEzGer8, I've heard of many cases where 32 bit is available but not 64, but never the reverse. The 32 bit driver is out there, somewhere. [02:12] robdig: i hope not because i dont know what my numeric value is or how to get it [02:12] sudo apt-get install libwnck1.0 type that in terminal [02:12] brophat, seriously, tell us what you want to install and we can comment more specifically on space. [02:13] Sethk: What morons. They did precisely that. [02:13] lucian, robdig, you only need numeric values if you want to use IDs that aren't defined within linux. [02:13] Sethk: Appears it's only available for 64-bit [02:13] LinuxEzGer8, url? That would be more than just moronic [02:13] sethk I have an 80 gig hd and a 120 gig hd, I want to put / and /home on the 80 and make the 120 one huge partition and call it /home/stuff [02:13] LinuxEzGer8, this I have to see. [02:13] sethk: ah, thanks...then lucian you should be good to go [02:14] Sethk: http://www.linuxscrew.com/2007/09/27/creative-sound-blaster-x-fi-linux-driver/ [02:14] problem: When I try to start sound recorder, it says: "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the multimedia settings."...why? [02:14] brophat, that's certainly more than sufficient. [02:14] sethk,robdig: thanks [02:14] brophat, I prefer /usr2, but that's entirely asthetic and has no basis in logic. :) [02:15] sethk ok now for the big question: how big should I make / ?? [02:15] There's posts around of people able to get theirs working [02:15] sethk, hey,.. thanks a lot..i fixed the uuids and now i can boot in.. tho i think most of my permissions are messed up [02:15] doorknob60 unable to lock the administration directory [02:15] sethk, have reversed most of the damage tho [02:15] Why are some images appearing smaller than they're supposed to in Firefox? [02:15] brophat, make the 80 gig drive one partition, and the 120 one partition. [02:15] yay! [02:15] Is it possible to install the factory ones from the CD using CrossOver? [02:15] works [02:15] foso never seen that one before, and idk what it means either [02:16] sethk you are saying make the 80 gig like / and the 120 say /stuff ?? [02:16] Fyda: know where compiz settings are stored, for Ring Switcher? I can't seem to set the key macro in Actions [02:16] doorknob60 i have libwnck 22 [02:16] brophat, yes, that is what I would do. [02:16] hmm ok [02:16] it said something about renaming something [02:16] foso did it give that error when you tried to do ./configure? [02:16] ok, i need soundcard help. Intel ALC883 Analog, it is setup, not mute, yet nada, no sound [02:17] Sethk: How do people get their devices working without the exact driver? [02:17] bjbdrgn: For Compiz-specific questions I would recommend that you ask in #compiz-fusion [02:17] !intelhda | sharsa [02:17] sharsa: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [02:17] thx [02:17] doorknob60 yeah, then it said the other thing about unable to lock when i tried to get it [02:17] LinuxEzGer8, in general, they don't, unless the hardware emulates some other more common hardware. [02:17] sethk, is it possible to get a list of all the stuff installed on my ubuntu installation [02:17] hmmmmm try again? :P idk [02:18] amitprakash, dpkg can list installed packages, yes. synaptic will show you in a nice UI [02:18] gn. [02:18] Sethk: And I can't run the 64-bit one? Is there a way to change to 64-bit mode? [02:18] sethk, dpkg -l? [02:18] LinuxEzGer8, if you have a 64 bit processor, you can install all 64 bit software. [02:19] amitprakash, right [02:19] hey [02:19] LinuxEzGer8, a 64 bit installation can run 32 bit programs, but it won't work the other way around. [02:19] sethk, i would like to get only the package names so that after a clean install i can just do a sudo aptitude install list and get away with it.. is that possible? [02:20] doorknob60 thanks for your help, ill keep messing [02:20] kk [02:20] amitprakash, yes, it's possible to script it. [02:20] anyone have problems installing limewire? [02:21] Sethk: Just scoured the documentation that came with my chip. Can't find anything about bits. How can I check what bits I have? [02:21] I installed kubuntu-desktop to kinda try it out, and then decided I didn't like it so I apt-get removed kubunu-desktop...yet all the kde apps are still installed [02:21] sethk, will try.. thanks [02:21] Tripfx: try frostwire, but most likely the problem is you don't have java installed. [02:21] Tripfx: nope [02:21] Tripfx: why not use GiFT? [02:21] join #math [02:21] LinuxEzGer8, it's not the chip, it's the installed software and it's the processor on the mother board. To run 64 bit, you need a 64 bit processor; AMD is the most frequently used one. [02:22] Tripfx: check dependences... [02:22] yest thats what it says but I have installed java. I will try frostwire or gift. Thanks everyone [02:22] LinuxEzGer8, if you have a 64 bit processor, you can install the 64 bit version of ubuntu, and then use the 64 bit driver. [02:22] Sethk: System Monitor says: Processor: AMD Athlon (tm) 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ [02:22] Gift will run in a terminal window [02:22] it's pretty light weight, but it does the rick [02:22] *trick [02:22] LinuxEzGer8, ok, good, so it's 64 bit dual core, which is very powerful [02:22] SNAP SON! [02:22] Tripfx: most likely if limnewire isn't working, frostwire won't..., yu probably don't have the proper java environment installed. [02:22] LinuxEzGer8, but you need to install 64 bit ubuntu to take advantage of it. [02:22] How do I set everything to 64-bittles? [02:22] crap [02:23] is gift as easy as limewire? [02:23] LinuxEzGer8, sorry about that, but you install one or the other. [02:23] Sethk: How do I go about doing that? [02:23] it's pretty straight forward [02:23] LinuxEzGer8, an ubuntu install doesn't really take all that long. Besides, you'll do it much better the second time. [02:23] LinuxEzGer8, you download the 64 bit cd [02:23] Tripfx: its a CLI program if i recall... so you make the decision [02:23] run giftd -d, then run giFTcurs [02:23] http://www.nongnu.org/giftcurs/ [02:24] Sethk: If I have no cd to write to, what would you suggest? I have LiveCD for 7.04 [02:24] let me try. I'll check back if I have a problem. [02:24] Sethk: Also, I'm assuming I will need to redo the video card driver? [02:24] LinuxEzGer8, 7.04, and 7.10, are both available in 32 bit and 64 bit versions. [02:25] LinuxEzGer8, well, once you reinstall the o/s, it will stop complaining that it needs the 64 bit o/s. You have to reinstall _everything_ [02:25] so, i'm using a gigabyte n680-sli dq6 motherboard which has an onboard sata raid controller. to this are attached three large hard drives (the system drive is separate, on another sata controler on the mobo) and in the first sata raid controller mentioned's portion of the bios, it's set to use these three drives as a single beautiful raid-5'd volume. why then, do i perennially see the drives as three separate objects in the [02:25] os? [02:25] seriously? os gets truncated? [02:25] fine, be that way [02:25] Does anyone know of an unstable repo for Ubuntu or at least one that keeps an up to date version of Pidgin? [02:25] flamsmark, you need to configure the kernel to recognize the RAID 5 setup. [02:26] Sethk: Okay, so I have LiveCD 7.04. How do I tell it to install the 64-bit version and subsequently update to 7.10 64-bit? Also, do you know if the nvidia drivers that I currently have are supported in 64-bit? And lastly.... Thank you so much. You are my hero. :D [02:26] I installed kubuntu-desktop to kinda try it out, and then decided I didn't like it so I apt-get removed kubunu-desktop...yet all the kde apps are still installed [02:26] LinuxEzGer8, as far as I know, you don't tell it, you simply use the 64 bit cd to install 64 bit, and the 32 bit cd to install 32 bit. You'll have to burn that cd somewhere. [02:26] #join #ubuntu-india [02:27] KI4IKL: lol, you're gonnna spend a LONG time uninstalling those apps.. [02:27] amitprakash, /join, not #join [02:27] if u need to just remove them individually [02:27] yeah :X [02:27] Sethk: Can I download it to my HDD, say on the desktop, and run it from there? [02:27] IndyGunFreak, but why wont kubuntu-desktop unstall them all? [02:27] idk... [02:27] thats kinda BS [02:27] KI4IKL: well, if you'd used aptitude instead of apt-get, it would have.. [02:27] LinuxEzGer8, you can do that with packages, but not with the initial install. [02:27] idk if this will do anything but try sudo apt-get autoremove [02:27] * Peregrino says Hi! [02:27] KI4IKL: it is..., but its the way apt-get is designed. [02:27] how do i get ndisgtk in ubuntu [02:27] might take em off [02:27] IndyGunFreak, what aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop? [02:27] i dont see it in synaptic [02:27] LinuxEzGer8, you can set up a 32 bit/64 bit cross compiler and rebuilt the kernel in 64 bit mode, and then install all the 64 bit packages. [02:28] alguien puede hablar bien carjo jajaja seguro ni me entienden [02:28] KI4IKL, you can get rid of the great majority with apt-get remove libqt3-mt [02:28] KI4IKL: won't work at this point, because you didn't aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [02:28] LinuxEzGer8, it's a bit tricky to set up if you haven't worked with gcc in cross compilation configuration. === u^A is now known as u^A_ [02:28] Sethk: Just flew that one over my head [02:28] Is there anybody willing to help? ^_^ [02:28] sethk - shouldn't my hardware be presenting itself as a single volume? [02:28] nickrud: thats a good idea, didn't think of that. [02:28] LinuxEzGer8, it's not difficult, it's just buzzwords. [02:28] flamsmark, not always. [02:28] Sethk: Can you guide me, or is it pretty involved? [02:28] !es dany [02:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about es dany - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:29] Peregrino: maybe...what's your question [02:29] LinuxEzGer8, I can try to guide you. It's hard to say whether we would succeed because I don't know how much you already know and how brave you are. [02:29] regarding user passwords ion Ubuntu 7.10 [02:29] sethk - your suggestion, would that make the kernel see the volume, or are you suggesting a software raid setup? [02:29] Anybody here know much about wireless? I'm on a dell Inspiron 1501, and I've gotten as far as getting the Wifi light to turn on... and it can find the SSID's, but I can't for the life of me get it to connect... is there something I can try typing in the CLI? All I've really been able to try is the networking app that came with Ubuntu [02:29] Sethk: Very brave, very unknowledgable [02:29] LinuxEzGer8, seriously, it's not dangerous, because if you mess up, you reinstall. [02:29] anyone here plays Urban terror? [02:29] flamsmark, no, not software raid. [02:29] !ask | Peregrino [02:29] Peregrino: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [02:30] flamsmark, there are RAID controllers that do the right thing (that is, present the thing as if it were one physical disk), but not all of them do so. [02:30] hi is anyone good with accounting 101 ? i need help please PM me [02:30] Why are some images appearing smaller than they're supposed to in Firefox? [02:30] Sethk: I am putty in your hands. [02:30] flamsmark, what can happen is that the o/s uses a fallback driver with very basic IDE (or SATA, in this case) functionality. [02:30] sethk - so you suggest that there's some way for me to persuade my kernel to see the full volume, say like installing a driver for the full volume? [02:30] help out a fellow linux user eh [02:30] what is the root password for ubuntu 7.10 [02:30] Whatever you set it to. [02:30] okey! Well, I would like to remove the password for my user account on Ubuntu 7.10 (or at least remove the propts for it), but I don't have the least Idea how to do it :S [02:30] guys, I need lil help .. I got new, fresh installed Kubuntu distribution, and I can't compile :/ .. I got error message: Can't find X libraries .. anyone who can help me please ? [02:30] Nostahl: there isn't one [02:31] flamsmark, right, by installing a driver that is aware of the chipset your board is using to implement raid. [02:31] !root | Nostahl [02:31] Nostahl: 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 [02:31] flamsmark, if you tell us the chipset we can be more specific. [02:31] n680sli [02:31] what package do i download to get ndisgtk [02:31] sethk, how do i run gnome network applet from konsole? [02:31] Zok|: for kubuntu help, join #kubuntu [02:31] sethk would there be any benefit to having it in the /home dir? [02:31] sethk n680sli, and i'm checking nvidia's site [02:32] Peregrino: you're not going to find anyone here that will tell you how to do that. [02:32] sethk though i did mention the chipset initially [02:32] amitprakash, generally speaking, you don't. I think there is an adapter to do so with kde, but not at the CLI. [02:32] sethk :p [02:32] okay :) [02:32] flamsmark, well, I'm getting old and forgetful. Plus this channel has about 200 messages a second (or so it sometimes seems) [02:32] anyone plays games on linux? [02:32] Does anyone know of an unstable repo for Ubuntu or at least one that keeps an up to date version of Pidgin? [02:32] hi! I have a question: how can I have mp3 archives reviews with nautilus? i can preview just ogg and wav files [02:32] i play some games on linux [02:32] T1m0thy: just compile it, it doesn't take long [02:32] sethk i concur [02:32] I don't, ricanlite_, I do use Steam on my desktop. [02:32] IndyGunFreak: Why? Forgiveme if that's not legal :S I'm just bored of entering my pass over and over again [02:33] LinuxEzGer8, I don't think we can do it in traffic. Join #temp102. anyone else who may be interested can also join. [02:33] IndyGunFreak: I've had problems with compiling Pidgin. [02:33] Peregrino: its not that its illegal, its a security issue [02:33] T1m0thy: like what? [02:33] what is that damned runlevel update command in debian? [02:33] IndyGunFreak: Like, not having the tray image or no sound when im-ing. [02:34] sethk, and from the nvidia site, where, as soon as i select nforce, it jusmps to my chip, and linux, responds with 'No downloads were found for your configuration.' [02:34] T1m0thy: those sound like settings sisues, not compiling issues.... i've compiled pidgin many times with no such issues. [02:34] Hi, I need help, I want to play dvd's I innstalled the libdvdcss2 lib but it still won't play. [02:34] [02:34] IndyGunFreak: Okay.. Well, should I sudo apt-get remove the current Pidgin before compiling the new one? [02:34] flamsmark, I had a machine last week where I had to use the driver from nvidia's web site because of a very new card. The distro is always a bit behind, because they have to take nvidia's driver, turn it into a package, test it, etc. [02:35] IndyGunFreak: But isn't there a setting like "don't propmt for passord" or a setting in witch I enter my pass only one and Ubuntu takes care anytime it needs a password? [02:35] timothy: wouldnt be a bad idea [02:35] T1m0thy: here's what i would do, sudo apt-get remove pidgin... let that finish, then sudo apt-get build-dep gaim install all that crap, [02:35] then compile [02:35] Peregrino: no [02:35] sethk - though it seems like i'm out of luck [02:35] IndyGunFreak: Thanks. :) [02:35] doorknob60 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you [02:35] installed software in a non-standard prefix. [02:35] T1m0thy: np, it should compile pretty easily after you do those two commands.. [02:35] doorknob60 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you [02:35] installed software in a non-standard prefix. [02:36] foso idk what that means either lol [02:36] crap [02:36] flamsmark, possibly. I would try installing the most recent nvidia driver regardless of what it claims to support. It may work. The one from the repos would probably work also, if you could convince the installer to use it. [02:36] if my nm-applet is unable to get a hold of my nics.. what permissions are missing? [02:36] im having a pretty hard time wondering why i can't get urban terror or enemy territory running right [02:36] anyone know what the error i just pasted mean? [02:36] IndyGunFreak: Geez, I think I'll have to get used to type my password over and over again :P But in the LiveCD you don't have to enter any Password :/ [02:36] how can I preview mp3 files? someone could tell me pls? [02:36] flamsmark, you can also use the nv driver (the open source, 2d driver) until the 3d driver is updated. [02:36] oooh do sudo apt-get install build-essentials is u havent already foso [02:36] Peregrino: sounds like it. [02:37] like when i use the mouse to look around it locks up for a second and then it is fine and when im looking around again it locks up again [02:37] Peregrino, you can set it up to not have to use the password. [02:37] sethk - but was we recall, this is not a graphics but a raid driver [02:37] flamsmark, oh, yes, sorry, got confused. [02:37] sethk: how? [02:37] flamsmark, let me check that chipset. [02:37] wahoo! i have bootage, or booty, or what-have-you. it looks like my other hard drives were right royally confusing the grub installer [02:37] sethk - yes sir [02:37] doorknob60 couldnt find the package [02:37] how do i change a package's status from installed to auto-installed? [02:37] Peregrino, what are you doing specifically where you need to type the password? [02:37] doorknob60 should it be in the desktop/avant in the terminal? [02:38] tthat command doesnt really matter [02:38] I think I need a library to preview mp3 files, but I don't know wich one.... someone can helpp me pls? [02:38] Peregrino, you can set the timeout of your password , visudo and add the line timestamp_timeout 15 is the default [02:38] levi: what do u mean by preview them? [02:39] sethk: Mhhh, Let's se... today I installed Ubuntu, and I was prompted at least 6 times for it... [02:39] doorknob60 If I put the cursor over a ogg i can heard the file, but I can't do it with mps files [02:39] flamsmark, take a look at http://hardware4linux.info/system/1423/ [02:39] hmm i didnt even know you could do that with any files.... [02:39] idk [02:39] Peregrino, if you can't be specific, I can't tell you how to turn off the password requirement [02:40] Peregrino: what you're asking to do is 1. not-safe, 2. stupid.. and i would caution you about following the advice of anyone that tells you how to do it. [02:40] well i gotta go eat dinner be back later [02:40] yes you can hehe but i don't know how to do it with mp3 files [02:40] doorknob60 ok [02:40] if isp locked the port 6667,what port i should use? i mean irc [02:40] how come i can't record in sound recorder? I can hear what I play from my speakers...(guitar)? [02:40] sehtk - ok, brb [02:40] Anybody here know much about wireless? I'm on a dell Inspiron 1501, and I've gotten as far as getting the Wifi light to turn on... and it can find the SSID's, but I can't for the life of me get it to connect... is there something I can try typing in the CLI? All I've really been able to try is the networking app that came with Ubuntu [02:40] IndyGunFreak: Okey, You know, this wquestion came up to me just a few minutes ago, and I was doing just some research before really doing anything ;) [02:41] Peregrino: well, google is your friend.. [02:41] how can I preview mp3 files? someone knows? [02:41] sethk - that looks pretty decent [02:41] sethk - though abunch of other things are plaing up now :( [02:41] flamsmark, definitely encouraging [02:41] IndyGunFreak: Yeah! You can be sure about it, but sometimes I like some human feedback :P [02:42] how can I preview mp3 files with nautilus? someone knows? [02:42] * nickrud feels IndyGunFreak 's slap (rubs cheek) [02:42] nickrud: lol [02:43] Ubuntu locks up if it cannot find my Domain Controller. [02:43] hey guys I'm trying to ssh into an xubuntu machine on my network but I keep getting: RSA host key for 192.168.0.104 has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed. [02:43] how come i can't record in sound recorder? I can hear what I play from my speakers...(guitar)? No matter what source I choose to record from, I still get no recorded sound... [02:43] This is probably why my initial upgrade failed. [02:43] sethk - so that site lists the hardware on the system, and those individual pages list the modules needed to run that hardware? [02:44] anyone know how i can fix that? [02:44] how can I preview mp3 files? :( [02:44] hey sethk are u there?\ [02:44] leviatan: Its in the ubuntu guide [02:45] leviatan: ubuntuguide.org [02:45] ok thanks Highlife [02:45] remote_matrix, yes ... [02:45] remote_matrix, well, in body at least. [02:45] i can't find truecrypt in the repos, am i retarded ? [02:45] So can anyone answer my ssh Question? [02:46] hey all, has anyone here heard anything about Super Grub Disk [02:46] ticked: yes. [02:46] Does any one know where linux programs store their settings so that you can transfer then instead of having to set up programs like even Xchat again and again [02:46] indyGunFreak....good news or bad??? [02:46] Xacarith: your home directory [02:46] Xacarith, probably in your ~/ [02:46] the hidden .dot files [02:46] for xchat its ~/.xchat [02:46] ticked: well, i've used it 3x, 1x it worked, 2x it didn't.. but i don't think it was the programs fault. [02:47] sethk buddy u remember the fan problem i was having (cpu fan) not coming on? [02:47] ticked: what do you need it for? [02:47] IndGunFreak, i have windows on a harddrive and linux on a harddrive,k windows is on C: I think i am gonna have to format windows soon and i am worried about killin Grub [02:48] hello! i've removed splash and quiet from grub's kernel line so i only have text. now i'm trying to get a proper resolution (1280x800 would be perfect) but i don;t know how to do this. While googleing i found something about framebuffer but i don't know if that's what i need or how to use it. help? [02:48] ticked: yeah, you'll definitely kill grub if you do that. [02:48] yeah i was hopin Super Grub Disk would be able to save my bacon [02:49] ticked: it might, but there are ways to reinstall grub from the Ubuntu Live CD's, although I'm not real familiar with it. [02:49] ticked: when you reinstall windows unplug the other drive and the SGD should repair things for you. [02:49] !framebuffer [02:49] If you would like information on framebuffers, please visit: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer [02:49] guardro SGD? [02:49] super grub disk [02:49] ahhhh [02:49] cool [02:50] FLUxXxX, its neabled by default you can use 'vga=ask' in the kernel options to test out the different res's at boot time. [02:50] Highlife: Check your ssh configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config and make sure that StrictHostKeyChecking is commented out. [02:50] guardo, so i am guesing i should unplug drive with ubuntu, do what i gotta do with windows, then plug the drive back in and use sgd? [02:50] the important thing is make sure you're linux disk is unplugged when you install windows again. if windows is feeling cranky i've seen it annihilate both boot records. and/or format the linux dirve [02:51] remote_matrix, yes [02:51] remote_matrix, what's the answer? [02:51] Question for those of you out there. I am new to Ubuntu and wanting to give back to the community (code), any suggestions where I can go to start with this? [02:52] tony_math: Yes it's checked out [02:52] gaurdro thats what ubuntu did to me first time i tried partitioning c: and installing windows on c and ubuntu on d: thus the second drive [02:52] ubunut install locks up on hardware config, earlier the error message was: "cannot allocate resource 0 on 000:00:000 [02:52] anyone else good with ssh? [02:52] im back! === KI4IKL is now known as tofaffy [02:53] AFDerrick: motu is a good place to start, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [02:53] what do you need with ssh highlife? [02:53] Robdig: Thanks. [02:53] AFDerrick: np [02:53] sethk, if my network isnt working.. any ideas what permissions got changed during the copy? [02:53] tofaffy: did you get your prob w/ limewire worked out? [02:53] sethk well sir, no answer yet... i kinda got more clues was wondering if u could help? [02:53] guardo: I'm getting: RSA host key for 192.168.0.104 has changed and you have requested strict checking.Host key verification failed. [02:54] IndyGunFreak, yeah [02:54] everytime i try to connect to an xubuntu machine on my network [02:54] amitprakash, that's really very hard. See if there is any useful info in the logs. try /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog. [02:54] IndyGunFreak, you have good memory, it's been a long time since that problem [02:54] Highlife,either somenes done an attack,, or the server chaged his key [02:54] Highlife: As a last resort, you can delete your .ssh folder in your home directory. rm ~/.ssh. You should be prompted to accept all keys again. [02:54] remote_matrix, ok, but give me a few moments to finish up a phone call. [02:54] tofaffy: it was just like 10-15min ago wasn't it?..lol.. [02:54] Does any one know where linux programs save their settings? [02:54] highlife: have you connected to it when it was running another opperating system. [02:54] Highlife: that should have been rm -rf ~/.ssh [02:54] no [02:54] Highlife, remove ~/.ssh/known_hosts [02:55] well yes [02:55] tony_math, he might be able to get away with deleting only ~/.ssh/known_hosts. If that doesn't work, he can always delete the rest. [02:55] and it worked [02:55] That's true sethk. [02:55] Already tried copying the home folder over... [02:55] sethk take ur time lemmie know when ur done [02:55] each operating system will generate it's own set of keys so change in operating system=keys change error [02:56] amitprakash and tony_math remove these from the computer im trying to connect to [02:56] or the one im using to connect? [02:56] i install Sidbuntu [02:56] i hope it works [02:56] Highlife, the one u are using to connect [02:56] Highlife: remove the .ssh folder from the computer you're using to connect. The computer where you're typing "ssh...." [02:56] time [02:56] sidbuntu? [02:56] yeah debian sid sources on ubuntu [02:57] what's the point? [02:57] i have no clue what i do [02:57] i just do that to gain experiences [02:57] that's a good point :) [02:57] brb -.- [02:58] Ganjistus, not necessarily a bad idea, if you don't mind reinstalling in case you need a stable box. [02:58] don't think i've ever heard of it. [02:58] thank you tony_math and amitprakash [02:58] it works now [02:58] sethk, wow.. there are like a million entries there ^^ [02:58] amitprakash, always. search for error (case insignificant) [02:58] i think i can manualy "downgrade" to stable packets [02:58] sethk - what are these 'modules' of which they speak [02:59] sethk, found the error already :D and fixing it [02:59] Glad to help Highlife! [02:59] Ganjistus: i would find that pretty unlikely [02:59] flamsmark, a module is a piece of the kernel that can be loaded after boot. [02:59] sethk, btw how many years of linux exp do u have? [02:59] amitprakash, I had 20 years of unix experience before linux existed, so a lot. [02:59] try and error or something [02:59] sethk, wow [02:59] ah, another old man [02:59] As much as I like linux, this is one of my issues with it, that programs install parts in so many places... The other is permissions. It's bad when you can't change sub folders in folders you own... [03:00] sethk are you a unix developer so? [03:00] Ganjistus, yes. [03:10] Sethk: Still around? [03:13] What's a nick collision [03:13] ? [03:13] HI... i've just installed FIrefox 2.0.0.11 and now my keyboard is acting up in firefox only... any ideas? [03:14] can someone point me at a good explanation of why my PATA IDE hard disk and cdrom have been recognized as scsi devices in ubuntu gutsy? [03:14] help. I rebooted my laptop and now it takes a while to load and says x server could not start [03:14] well I can't open my screens and graphics [03:14] i'm using ubuntu gutsy... [03:14] Worked like a charm [03:14] it works normally before... [03:15] jepler, that's the new libata , it does that. === NoorIslam is now known as NoorulIslaam [03:15] any ideas? [03:15] !xserver | xzased [03:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:15] any irssi users? Favorite theme? I'm using clean. I prefer a white background [03:16] xzased: what were you doing before you restarted? [03:16] Ganjistus y would seti@home help me ? [03:16] can anyone help me... please...? i really need my second monitor working... [03:16] Is irssi worth the time to learn vs Pidgin? [03:16] I was passing some files to an external drive [03:17] I didnt ownload any updates [03:17] Fezzler: two different beasts.. Pidgin is a great IM program, but a horrible irc client, look at xchat, xchat-gnome, irssie, kvirc, or several others for irssi. [03:17] Fezzler: Pidgin is nice, as it also has other IM clients built in [03:17] Fezzler, anything is better than pidgin for irc, check out ircssi and xchat as well (not xchat-gnome) [03:17] xzased: hmm, thats it?... that doesn't make any sense. [03:17] how can i get the sata_nv module? [03:17] But I use XChat myself [03:17] I know, its weird [03:17] aha, this is the explanation I was looking for: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks [03:18] thanks nickrud [03:18] *irssi, shouldn't watch movies while I type [03:18] that helped me find the search term I needed.. [03:18] nickrud: Is ircssi different from irssi [03:18] Fezzler, typo [03:19] is there any way to restart the x server? [03:19] nickrud: typo - by me or u [03:19] Fezzler, me, ircssi was supposed to be irssi [03:19] * IndyGunFreak shutters at irssi.. ;) [03:19] someone said irssi and "screen" and a powerful combo. What does "screen" provide? [03:20] IndyCar: Why? [03:20] i need a GUI.., but thats just me.. [03:20] hi... [03:20] I need help with my monitors [03:20] Fezzler, I don't use screen, although I've played with it. It gives you several terminals in one, you can leave something running in it, close the terminal, and reconnect later for example. [03:20] WACD: ask.. [03:20] Brickyard: Ah, I like to play and learn with my Ubuntu PC [03:21] nickrud: Is irssi more than an IRC agent? [03:21] Does anyone know how I could mask myself on a wireless network? [03:21] nickrud, message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/eth0 forsub-path eth0.dbus.get.reason .any ideas?? [03:22] hey guys i have a problem with my Toshiba laptop and the RT kernel, it won't boot from the RealTime Kernel... it gets stuck trying to load it.... [03:22] Hey, how come linux is so great in so many aspects, but can't even manage to record sounds? :/ [03:23] this is annoying me... === PsRAM_ is now known as PsRAM [03:23] !alsa | matsss [03:23] matsss: 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 [03:23] matsss: probably related to ALSA [03:24] last irssi question as it is a bit OT. So to begin, is the comment /connect freenode? [03:24] scguy318: Ok, hm... [03:24] Fezzler: /network list [03:24] Fezzler: if you have a network defined as 'freenode', sure! [03:26] is there a way to forcefully reinstall all the packages i have on my system now? [03:26] foso? u there? [03:26] amitprakash, nope, what version of ubuntu are you running [03:26] dorknoob60: yes? [03:26] dryrot: I better spend time at irssi.org before I start [03:26] lol i just got the lock error that u got [03:27] what's the default x config for ubuntu? is it /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [03:28] hello. I am going to go get a wireless card for my desktop. best buy. anyone have a recommendation for a reliable model/vendor? [03:30] whoa. [03:32] sorry... [03:32] I went AFK... [03:33] I need help with my monitors... [03:33] I can't open my "Screens and Graphics" application... [03:33] a.k.a displayconfig-gtk [03:33] I need help with my monitors... [03:33] I can't open my "Screens and Graphics" application... [03:33] a.k.a displayconfig-gtk [03:34] I think so crdbl .. does it auto start once you have dled all the packages and emerald ? [03:34] whee, big netsplit [03:34] Oh NO! Netsplit! [03:34] * Ttech dies in the netsplit [03:34] yeah i think those are the netsplits, not nick collisions [03:34] * nickrud never sees them anymore, too much information [03:34] i can't get desktop effects to work === |ajmorris_| is now known as ajmorris_ [03:34] crush_groove: on Ubuntu, yes it's preinstalled and running by default on supported video cards [03:34] xgl is installed ati driver installed [03:34] sheesh [03:34] i don't know what else it wants [03:34] SpookyET: did you log out after installing xserver-xgl ? [03:35] nope... [03:35] i use two monitors [03:35] SpookyET, and sudo modprobe fglrx ? [03:35] n i don't use any desktop effects... [03:35] crdlb: wrong channel. it works in ubuntu [03:35] is it normal not to be able to format to ntfs, or is it something i am doing? i am using gparted, and the ntfs choice is grayed out [03:35] i'm trying to make it work in fedora [03:35] n then yesterday... [03:35] crdlb is this why my xchat window and everything else cant be moved ? [03:35] ah hehe [03:36] n then the secondary monitor always act as an extenxion... [03:36] but yesterday i need to use it as mirror [03:36] crush_groove: open System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [03:36] i mirrored.... log out... [03:36] n then came back in... [03:36] from that second on... [03:36] done [03:36] crush_groove: and make sure that 'Place Windows' is checked [03:36] crdlb, help please :( i ended up changing permissions/ownership to my / recursively.. is there a way out w/o reinstall [03:36] my secondary monitor just gos to sleep.. [03:36] I've a question. I'm trying to get a Plustek Opticpro 4831p parallel port scanner to work, SANE says it's fully supported, but when I press the scan button in XSane, I get failed to start scanner: invalid argument message. [03:36] !enter | WACD [03:36] WACD: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:37] what's the default x config for ubuntu? is it /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? [03:37] cua0: I believe that's the case [03:37] yes cua0 [03:37] yup. [03:37] amitprakash: not that I can think of [03:38] crdlb, place windows is checked and set at "smart" .. another thing is my windows dont seem to have borders [03:38] crdlb, how abt apt-get --reinstall install ? [03:38] does anyone know if it is possible to dual boot with Ubuntu on a PowerPC Mac? [03:38] ever seen the loopback address just disappear? [03:38] MokonaSan: you should be able to, just be sure to download the ppc version [03:38] * Ttech didn't know apt-get had reinstall [03:38] mokonasan, I assume so because you can dual boot with windows ;) [03:39] crush_groove: oh it sounds like there's no window manager running at all [03:39] what is the shortcut for the switch shifter? like the deck of cards sort of thing [03:39] crush_groove: run 'compiz --replace' in a terminal and pastebin the output [03:39] ah cool. I figured as much. I might be getting an old iMac, and so I wondered :) [03:39] There is something wrong with my "Screens and Graphics" a.k.a displayconfig-gtk... I have two monitors and no desktop effect... I used to use my secondary monitor as an extension...however yesterday I need to use it as a mirror...so I open "screens and graphics" i changed the settings... [03:39] foso: Windows key + Tab [03:39] crdlb that is the sort of band that pops up [03:39] hey guys, what is the name of the app that is used to connect wirelessly (the one on the panel) and how can I add it to my !pastebin [03:39] 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) [03:40] crdlb, only problem is how do i get output from dpkg -l to a format i can paste to the command [03:40] Hello! [03:40] crdlb my bad that is the ring switcher [03:40] amitprakash: I really don't think that would work [03:40] is it normal not to be able to format to ntfs, or is it something i am doing? i am using gparted, and the ntfs choice is grayed out [03:40] ogre: Network Manager, but you really can't add it to the Apps menu [03:40] foso: then turn off Ring Switcher, and Enable Shift Switcher.

[04:10] poningru: kk is that what i have to do everytime? is F9 or a mouse 3 connected to this by default somehow?

"trying to overwrite `/usr/share/zoneinfo/Canada/Atlantic', which is also in package locales" [04:14] no, it's a PCI [04:14] LinuxEzGer8: which cd writer? [04:14] Nvidia GeForce 5500 === [1]SuperSayjin is now known as SuperSayjin [04:14] or is this for some kind of statistic [04:15] CD/DVD Creator [04:15] Nemesis02, what are you installing, and what version of ubuntu? [04:15] the default one [04:15] noob with file sharing/networking questions. [04:15] i had problem with my pci geforce fx 5200 [04:15] I right-click it and pick Open With CD/DVD Creator [04:15] and write it to the CD [04:15] LinuxEzGer8: did you check the md5? [04:15] The what? [04:15] right, that's why -- how to just choose vesa mode for the X server? [04:15] is 15GB enough space for an lvm install of ubuntu ? [04:15] nickrud, was trying to install libapache2-fastcgi, did a full upgrade, and it was trying to install tzdata_2007b-1_all.deb [04:15] towlie, yes === adam_dunn is now known as adamdunn [04:15] is there any way to run a diagnostics on my graphics card? [04:15] !md5 [04:15] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [04:15] tthe way i fixed it was pluggin monitor in the build in crappy video card and making it default and installing using that [04:15] fannagoganna: I have a Geforce FX5500 PCI too :) === _max is now known as max [04:16] fannagoganna: I just installed 7.10 with an unrecognized 8800GTS. I had to use the alternative install CD, and then install the drivers later (after the alternative install the generic VESA drivers worked well enough for the unrecognized card). [04:16] And why it's not working properly? [04:16] RoAkSoAx, no only on the lan side. Hopefully that is closed on the wan side. [04:16] can anyone tell me what is wrong? i can't get wine to open itunes after installation [04:16] What is the point of md5? [04:16] check that link LinuxEzGer8 [04:16] but is there a way with the standard CD, to choose the X server to use vesa? [04:16] Nemesis02, try sudo aptitude install tzdata locales [04:16] !anyone [04:16] A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:16] LinuxEZ: you can confirm that your file is intact after your download [04:17] RoAkSoAx, I'll try to connect to it though [04:17] fannagoganna: I don't know about that. When I tried to install from the regular CD, I only got a blank screen, so I never got that far on the regular install method. [04:17] ok, i installed ubuntu from a flash drive because i have no cdrom for this laptop. now i need to make synaptic and apt work, cause they think it is a cdrom, so my source media /cdrom/ when it tries to install. how can i tell it to use /disk/ or something [04:17] Joe_Dirt: if you can access a shell into that host, do an nmap localhost and that way it will show the open ports, because that hosts seems to be rejecting packets from wan side and that's why it shows host seems down, it is a security measure [04:17] "Just download the two files from any of the mirrors. Store them in the same directory." ... [04:17] ok, will just install in text mode [04:17] What mirrors? [04:17] Hello, everyone. [04:17] it's a horrible pain though [04:17] Does anyone use the program Stellarium? Does it usually run at a very low (0.05) framerate? === Guest10108408 is now known as HolyAvenger [04:17] noob help - I'm lost on getting my usb harddrive visible to the rest of my network. [04:17] Hello! [04:17] is there a way of opeing up itunes now that it is installed? [04:18] AzureLight, I do..and it does. [04:18] linux newbie here [04:18] I thought it was just me :) [04:18] I'm new to this world of Linux (I'm actually running Debian, but most of it is exactly the same) [04:18] RoAkSoAx, Sounds good,I'll give it a try. [04:18] haymaker: you have a net connection for this machine? you need to disable the install media as a source in synaptic [04:18] hello twobits [04:18] looking to install linux for the first time [04:18] And what about Frets on Fire? It runs REALLY slow for me [04:18] fannagogana: I am a newbie, and this is my first install, so it is quite possible someone else may have better advice. Just giving you my experience [04:18] And the debian channel I used to go to, died. =( [04:18] I'm really starting to get frustrated. I'm approaching the 24 hour mark of trying to get this set-up. XP is looking more and more attractive... [04:18] oh ok [04:18] fannagoganna, you can use a kernel argument to override the default driver choice. Help at the boot prompt should have some info about that. [04:18] I have no clue about that one. [04:18] all righty, will do [04:18] Does anyone know how can I check which program or service is using a certain port? [04:18] bazhang, not until i can get ndiswrapper installed... [04:18] im using a x1300 video card in 7.10 and cant get the desktop effects to run and it says that there is no composite extension available even with the restricted drivers activated [04:19] AzureLight: Frets on Fire is AWESOME :) [04:19] LinuxEzGer8: get yourself a good disk and you'll be happy [04:19] that's what i was wondering -- if anyone remembered the args. I'll just type F2 or F3 and see what goes down :) [04:19] !xgl | christos [04:19] christos: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [04:19] I've burned the iso twice. [04:19] Yeah, except for the fact that it lags too much for me to even hit the notes :( [04:19] LinuxEzGer8, if xp does what you need with fewer problems, then by all means use xp. The computer is just a tool. [04:19] I think there's a problem with my graphics card [04:19] it's about to be a flying tool. [04:19] I have a few questions, like whats a decent size for an ubuntu partition? And when I download the website, if I indicate that I use a 64 bit archtecture, is that the version it downloads, or is that for statistical reasons. [04:19] I use a FX5500, what do you have? [04:19] I hate XP [04:19] christos, hrm, not very helpful. you need to run fglrxinfo , make sure it's using ati mesa , then install xserver-xgl and restart X [04:19] how do i add a shortcut for nm-applet to my LinuxEzGer8: if the md5 sum doesn't match, you can burn it ten times and it wont matter [04:19] LinuxEzGer8: download it again, and verify the MD5 sum, then burn it again [04:19] But I have no idea how to check if I have a problem or not [04:19] I wish it would just say download 32 bit version or download 64 bit [04:19] Does anyone know how can I check which program or service is using a certain port? [04:20] 4GB+ is a good partition size twobits [04:20] I am fairly experianced with FoF's workings... [04:20] can somone help with a little bit of a video overlay issue (i believe..) evrytime a full screen video or screen saver comes on, any text entry boxes among various other elements show as visual hiccups.. old ATI radeon, using open-source drivers. [04:20] noob help: how do I share a drive on my network? [04:20] "Just download the two files from any of the mirrors. Store them in the same directory." First instructions on verifying. What mirrors? [04:20] nickrud, same error. not going away. [04:20] HolyAvenger, netstat -tlp [04:20] Well, FoF runs really slow, even when it's the only program running and I've set all my settings to low [04:20] HolyAvenger, erm, prepend sudo on that [04:20] How do I delete an auto login in irssi? [04:20] Thank you [04:20] Nemesis02, a sec [04:20] whats FoF? [04:20] I'll try right now [04:20] Frets on Fire [04:21] LinuxEzGer8: that question meant for me? to get someone's attention use their nick to highlight them [04:21] whats that? [04:21] Bazhang: yes [04:21] doorknob60: An excellent Guitar hero clone that is open source [04:21] A Guitar Hero-like game [04:21] Nemesis02, what version of ubuntu are your running, you said you did a full upgrade? Was that from one version to another? [04:21] is there a program like cpu-z for linux? i'm trying to find out what busspeed my memory is running at [04:21] I have partitioned my maxtor 300gb hard drive using mac os x. I made a live cd for my ibook g4, and proceeded to boot into ubuntu. My problem is that I am unable to install ubuntu on the preveiously partitioned hard drive [04:21] oooooh o love guitar hero [04:21] LinuxEzGer8, one of the files should be called .iso. That is the one you burn to the cd. [04:21] Nickrud: AWESOME! THANK YOU! [04:21] also, are there significant downsides to using the 64 bit version of ubuntu? [04:21] is FoF in repos? [04:21] I can do Monkey Wrench on Expert using only my keyboard... [04:21] LinuxEzGer8, the other should be a short text file with only one line which has the md5 checksum of the iso file. [04:21] once you are root . how do you cancel it without shutting term ? [04:21] sethk: I have it on my desktop. DLed it from the website. Burned it twice (once as fast as possible, the next time at 4x) [04:21] doorknob60: Yeah, it's in repos. [04:21] twobits: not really, i've been using getlibs to get 32-bit libs [04:21] sweet [04:21] but i run it on a server [04:21] LinuxEzGer8: the same place you download the iso from has a md5 to match that iso--download that as well then check from it upon download of the iso [04:22] If anyone could help me with this, that would be awesome [04:22] *opens terminal and types sudo ap....." [04:22] ah [04:22] ok [04:22] Hello [04:22] LinuxEzGer8, but how did you burn it? Burning an iso image is different than backing up files to a cd. [04:22] LinuxEzGer8: same mirror means same download source [04:22] ladies and gentlemans [04:22] help me plz. i can't get wine to open up itunes, and that means my ipod is wasted [04:22] irreducibilis: Any idea why my FoF is running really slow? Even with my settings turned way down? [04:22] can someone tell me how to add stuff to plleeeaassee [04:22] sethk, right click the image and click burn to cd I believe it says [04:22] ogre: right click add [04:22] speeddemon8803, depends on what program you are using to burn it. [04:22] yay installing FoF as we speak [04:23] Sethk: I used the default CD/DVD Writer [04:23] AzureLight: What are your full specs? [04:23] i wanted to ask which prog do i need to upgrade my Feisty to Gutsy [04:23] bazhang: went back to gnome ;P [04:23] linux4me, you may have copied the file to the cd, rather than burning the iso image to the cd. I know it's a bit confusing but it won't work unless you burn it as an image. [04:23] linux4me, sorry, not you, tab completion ... [04:23] ogre: system->preferences->main menu [04:23] sudo apt-get upgrade-manager -c-d [04:23] !upgrade | interceptor [04:23] interceptor: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [04:23] LinuxEzGer8, , you may have copied the file to the cd, rather than burning the iso image to the cd. I know it's a bit confusing but it won't work unless you burn it as an image. [04:24] irreducibilis: Any quick way to check them? All I know is I have an ATI Radeon X600 and 1 GB of RAM [04:24] nickrud, check your PMs [04:24] sethk: Ah. How does one do that? [04:24] interceptor, update-manager -c [04:24] AntiStaff has invited rainwalker@irc.freenode.com to the chat room #SecuWEP [04:24] what does that mean? [04:24] Azurelight what fps do you get in glxgears? [04:24] Nemesis02, don't see it, you have to be registered with freenode to send pms [04:24] someone invited you to go to another room on this network [04:24] nickrud, o ok. [04:24] LinuxEzGer8, in windows, I don't exactly know, but it definitely can be done. I always transfer an iso image to a linux box and use cdrecord to burn it. [04:24] thankz [04:24] nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d6eee9eef [04:24] doorknob60: What's glxgears? [04:25] LinuxEzGer8, it's so much easier than trying to convince windows to do what you want. [04:25] I am completely new to ubuntu. I need some major help!! [04:25] speeddemon8803: it happens every time I enter this room [04:25] open a terminal and type in glxgears [04:25] Sethk: Windows? I'm so not using windows. :D I found a blank CD-RW that I've been using. Do I need to DL another program to burn it properly? [04:25] DipsetSkateHxc: what do you need help with? [04:25] LinuxEzGer8, no [04:25] hmmm..dunno...as long as they aren't causing trouble in room I see no problems :) [04:25] AzureLight: Thats strange... I have only 512MB and it works fine... [04:25] Actually installing ubuntu on my external hard drive [04:25] Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". [04:25] 3725 frames in 5.1 seconds = 732.748 FPS [04:25] what a pity it's not installed [04:25] LinuxEzGer8, are you running on your 32 bit install? [04:25] sethk: Does the default CD/DVD Writer burn? [04:25] i pooped a tape recorder [04:26] hmm 732 fps aint that good [04:26] sethk: Currently yes [04:26] LinuxEzGer8, yes [04:26] Along with Pentium IV 1500 Mhz and a Nvidia 5500 [04:26] i get over 2000 and my vid card isnt that great [04:26] Nemesis02, you have several issues, but to start, make sure you have no sources other than ubuntu ones installed. Then run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:26] better than my 430 [04:26] LinuxEzGer8, it's normally intelligent enough to do the right thing. [04:26] somethings probly wrong with ur drivers [04:26] sethk: are there settings I need to manipulate for it? [04:26] And what's with that first output? [04:26] LinuxEzGer8: if you choose open with cd/dvd creator [04:26] Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". [04:26] bazhang: that's what I've been doing [04:26] I try to install it on a previously partitioned hdd and it tells me there is no root file system. So i dont knwo what to do after that [04:26] LinuxEzGer8, it may be that there are problems associated with using a cd/rw instead of a cd/r. [04:26] Something is wrong with my drivers [04:27] LinuxEzGer8, I'll give you the command I use to burn (from a terminal window): [04:27] LinuxEzGer8: then it may be the media; do you have a blank cdr you can try it on? [04:27] Could someone compare the Nvidia Fx5500's specs with the ATI x600? [04:27] I am not famillier with ATI cards [04:27] sethk: I'll look. [04:27] bazhang: I'll look [04:27] nickrud, i can't do dist-upgrade till i fix the issue with tzdata affecting apt-get [04:27] LinuxEzGer8, cdrecord -vv whatever.iso [04:27] Nemesis02, true, doh [04:27] bazhang: what im trying to do is get rid of all panels & just run everything off AWN the only thing i need is to get a working nm-applet in my i can run glxgears inside konversation in the konsole tab on my fx5200 in a sec [04:28] as soon as FoF is done installing [04:28] LinuxEzGer8, whatever.iso being the file you downloaded. The -vv isn't necessary but gives you lots of info while it's burning, so use it. [04:28] most of the problems with a bad iso burn have to do with either a)bad media b)burn speed or c)not matched md5 sum LinuxEzGer8 [04:28] whats the name of the program to unrar files in ubuntu [04:28] i just use winrar in wine lol [04:28] ogre: not sure--kde user here :} [04:28] Oops [04:29] Didn't mean to exit Pidgin [04:29] Nemesis02, sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/tzdata [04:29] Jay-Oh-En, unrar [04:29] sherl0ck: does it have a gui [04:29] so im looking to get involved more in ubuntu, where should i begin?? [04:29] Nemesis02, did you just do an upgrade from one version to another? [04:29] nickrude, option -i is unknown [04:29] involved how? [04:29] rofl i just did glxgearas and got 58 fps :P [04:29] helping? [04:30] i have waaaay too many progs running [04:30] Jay-Oh-En: just clicking on the first file in a rar archive will put it back to gether [04:30] ok guys, what im trying to do is get rid of all panels & just run everything off AWN the only thing i need is to get a working nm-applet in my Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". [04:30] 4723 frames in 5.1 seconds = 930.765 FPS [04:30] My FPS is going up now [04:30] Nickrud, i did an upgrade from dapper to edgy, but what affected it was install libapache2-fastcgi from the debian repository. [04:30] bazhang: ? [04:30] ogre ,.. why not just use fluxbox is you want a clean dt? [04:30] Jay-Oh-En, u want file-roller [04:30] I wonder how much help I can be though... I run all my games in Windows [04:30] But that first output tells me something [04:30] sherl0ck: perfect thats what i was looking for [04:31] AzureLight, it tels me that even with broken drivers your's still works better than mine [04:31] I do believe the disc is too small [04:31] Nickrud, i was trying to install ispcp omega, a webhosting control panel that's the offshoot of VHCS. [04:31] Nemesis02, oh, did you read what I said about repositories other than ubuntu above? REMOVE them, apt-get update, and try again [04:31] Sethk: if the iso is 696mb and the disk is a 700mb disc, is that too small? [04:31] nickrud, yes i did. [04:31] LinuxEzGer8: if it is a cdrw it may have other stuff still on it [04:31] no [04:31] Does anyone know what " Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"." means? [04:31] LinuxEzGer8: 696 < 700 [04:32] Nemesis02, ok, and dpkg -i is one of the fundamental commands, used it many times [04:32] LinuxEzGer8, might be a problem, yes. You should run a blank on it first. [04:32] AzureLight: What Vid card you got? === NETabuse is now known as NET||abuse [04:32] there i closed programs and got 1686 fps in glxgears on my geforce fx5200 [04:32] lol compared to 58 with progs open [04:32] Cubexombi: ATI Radeon X600 [04:32] Nickrud, "E: Command line option 'i' [from -i] is not known." [04:32] bazhang: it does. It had the previous copy of the iso, however when I tried to do the cdrecord, it didn't record. It filled the screen with stuff and went right back to the cursor. === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:32] nickrud, woops my bad [04:33] AzureLight: can you pastebin your xorg.conf? [04:33] Nemesis02, ;) [04:33] Cubexombi: Uh... how exactly? [04:33] LinuxEzGer8: I've created plenty of drink coasters in burning iso files--you may want to get a stack of cdrs handy :} === malakhi_ is now known as malakhi [04:33] Nickrud, yeah, didn't see it also copied and pasted sudo apt-get in front also lol. [04:33] is any body taking to me ? [04:33] bazhang: Guess it's unavoidable. PJs coming off, jeans going on. To the store with me. [04:33] LinuxEzGer8: are you sure your null cdr is null? [04:33] tanker_: not sure--should we be? :} [04:34] you can alt-F2 and "gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" then go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and paste it there.. [04:34] Nickrud, thanks that fixed the problem, you were a lot of help :) [04:34] ronnie: eh? [04:34] how do you clear history in term ? [04:35] tanker_: if you have a question--ask away :} [04:35] LinuxEzGer8: what is "eh" mean.... [04:35] ronnie: I didn't understand [04:35] ok, [04:35] Is anyone else's flashplugin32 working badly after the update? [04:35] LinuxEzGer8: oh [04:35] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48502/ [04:35] mine in konq Berto [04:35] i have a dumb question, everytime my computer starts i have to run this command ($ORACLE_HOME/bin/isqlpluscti start) .. how can i get this command to run when my computer starts? [04:35] I have some issues which, I believe, are related to GNOME (or X). I installed x window and Xfce. Everything was working perfectly fine [04:35] known issue on amd64. [04:35] Nemesis02, you probably still have some mixed debian packages in your system, the origins button in synaptic will let you check [04:35] then I uninstalled xfce and installed Gnome [04:35] it's nice , [04:35] Berto: that should be fixed now--plenty of folks were having problems with that :} [04:35] depends what you mean.. My audio skips like a scratched CD [04:35] now Most windows won't load [04:36] Sethk: Is it possible to create a second partition with my LiveCD, DL the ISO on that partition, then install it to the first partition and then remove the second? [04:36] LinuxEzGer8: i say are you sure your cdr is in the null condition? [04:36] the default internet explorer wont open [04:36] I have a question: If I were to install a new video card in this computer (which has intel integrated graphics) how would I go about telling the computer to use the new card and/or disable the intel graphics? [04:36] bazhang, where would i get that fix? is there a forum topic [04:36] and many other windows do not work at all [04:36] ronnie: it's a CD-RW [04:36] (they just wont open) [04:36] bazhang: I pm'ed you [04:36] !flash | Berto [04:36] Berto: 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 [04:36] Cygnet - if you're lucky you're bios shuld have an option to disable it [04:36] LinuxEzGer8: then you have to clean it first [04:37] ronnie: define clean it [04:37] Orz. [04:37] crush_groove: because I have all my gnome still its just sitting in awn [04:37] maybe I should get into the bios and see, then [04:37] bazhang, i already had flash working, and it still works. I just got an ubuntu update today that makes it more unstable [04:37] what if I'm not lucky? [04:37] ronnie: Do I need to format it? If so, how does one format in Ubuntu? [04:37] Cubexombi: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48502/ [04:37] LinuxEzGer8: not format just need clean [04:37] will i have to parition my harddrive myself, or does the installer come with the necessary tools [04:37] I have some issues which, I believe, are related to GNOME (or X). I installed x window and Xfce. Everything was working perfectly fine, then I uninstalled xfce and installed Gnome and now most windows won't load, the default internet explorer wont open and many other windows do not work at all (they just wont open) [04:38] when i install it [04:38] ronnie: as in, erase everything on it? [04:38] Cygnet.. well you may luck out and have a PC that plays nice with 2 cards, some disable it once it's detected, mine doesn't and I hget a kernel panic at boot [04:38] LinuxEzGer8: are you useing the nero buner? [04:38] ronnie: no [04:38] @@! [04:38] LinuxEzGer8: k3b? [04:38] ronnie: default Ubuntu one [04:38] taking a peek now [04:38] hes using the cd/dvd creator ronnie [04:38] HolyAvenger, how did you install gnome? [04:38] apt-get install gnome. [04:39] LinuxEzGer8: i know nero can do that [04:39] ? [04:39] Is there any easy way to reload the environment variables from /etc/environment without restarting the damned system? [04:39] I'll have to reboot and check what's in my bios then, thanks all [04:39] HolyAvenger, hm, try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [04:40] is there any way from linux to view what frequence memory is running at? [04:40] well, thanks for your help all. I'm at 21 hours, 40 minutes of trying to get it to work and I give up. I'll buy 1,000 CD-Rs tomorrow and try them. Goodnight. [04:41] nickrud: I'm on Debian (ubuntu comes from it, as you might already know far better than me) and the #Debian channel (and server) died, so I came here hoping it could be solveable [04:41] see you tomorrow LinuxEzGer8 [04:41] how do i make kubuntu start up in silent mode everytime [04:41] HolyAvenger: #debian is still there. [04:42] HolyAvenger: /join #debian [04:42] HolyAvenger, ah, I used to run sid and gnome was often broken from packages being out of sync, is that what you are running? [04:42] in this server? =S [04:42] you don't happen to have a wacom tablet do you? [04:42] LinuxEzGer8: you are so dilligent... [04:42] Jay-Oh-En, with an argument on the kernel command line in the grub configuration file. [04:42] HolyAvenger: This server is just an alias to the Freenode network. [04:42] Cubexombi: Nope, not at all. O_o [04:42] sethk: could you help me? [04:42] K, just trimming the fat on the xorg.conf [04:43] sethk: Dont you EVER sleep? ... :) [04:43] Jack_Sparrow, sure, but I can answer questions while I'm sleeping :) [04:43] everytime my computer starts i have to run this command ($ORACLE_HOME/bin/isqlpluscti start) .. how can i get this command to run when my computer starts? [04:43] sethk: that explains alot [04:43] ok guys, what im trying to do is get rid of all panels & just run everything off AWN the only thing i need is to get a working nm-applet in my Farquad, add it to /etc/rc.local [04:43] frets on fire doesnt work to well on my comp either.... [04:44] thanks [04:44] Jack_Sparrow, hmm., I'm not sure how to take that :) [04:44] and i got over 2600 fps on glxgears [04:44] Doorknob60: really slow? [04:44] ya [04:44] Odd... [04:44] and i got 1.5gb ram [04:44] old people need less sleep [04:44] Ugh... so this is more complicated than is seems [04:44] and the lights shine down and arent very transparent and its hard to see the notwes [04:44] i suck at it even though i own at GH3 on my ps2 [04:45] in my bios under video options I've got "primary video adapter ", is that what I'm looking for? (to switch video from intel graphics to new card) [04:45] Mine is just REALLY laggy and the notes need to be hit before they even reach the line [04:45] Sound is fine though [04:45] mines pretty laggy, especially considering my specs [04:45] Lower your settings [04:45] Cygnet, sounds right, should be an option to say pci card, not onboard [04:46] sethk: i guess not eh [04:46] i lowered mine a lot [04:46] Cygnet, better to explicitly turn it off. [04:46] Jay-Oh-En, sorry, I didn't even see your question. [04:46] I don't have any options other than auto right now since I haven't obtained nor installed any new cards yet [04:46] doorknow60: Set the FoF settings to the lowest you can and see if it's still slow [04:47] Cygnet, ok. Auto should do what you need (turn it off if another is present), but personally I'd install the new card and then go back in the bios and set the on board video to off. [04:47] i set em to lowest except framerate [04:47] Hmm [04:47] cuz i dont want 1 frame per second :P [04:47] sethk: could you help me... do what im trying to do? [04:47] Same here, and mine still doesn't work [04:47] Not trying to run fof under wine or anything like that right [04:47] Having an issue with packet manager getting to the internet. or something. Might have something to do with lack of internet connection when installing. [04:47] doorknob60: Frets on Fire looks like crap anyways until you mod it to look like GH [04:47] Jay-Oh-En, well, I don't know until you tell me what you are trying to do. [04:47] no i dloaded from repos [04:47] sethk, ok, thanks :) [04:48] I had problems with the repos one [04:48] I have 4 mods that change the notes, backround, fretboard/neck, score counter, etc... [04:48] irred:well no point in modding it if it doesnt work right :P [04:48] The repos one wouldn't play for me [04:48] sethk: to make every startup in silent mode and change the bootsplash screen background [04:48] I'd get list index out of range [04:48] I got mine from SourceForge... [04:48] hola [04:48] the repos one played for me but not too well [04:48] Same [04:48] alguien que me pueda orentar [04:48] ill try the SF one then [04:49] How can I change my desktop resolution in KDE? I've looked at all of the options, but I don't see anywhere that would let me change it. [04:49] !en | Rodri [04:49] Rodri: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are english only.

[04:49] :D [04:49] Woops. [04:49] Jay-Oh-En, There is a quiet argument (on the kernel command line) to turn off most things. There is another one for complete silence; let me see if I can find it. [04:49] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48503/plain/ --> I've added a few options and switches, I'd recommend doing a back-up of your current xorg.conf then "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" and paste the new xorg over the old. and restart x. [04:49] using apt-get update all I get is Reading package lists... Done [04:49] no se como [04:50] Xacarith: that is all that command does [04:50] sethk: i meant so it shows all those text lines on startup i think its called verbose? [04:50] Rodri: solamente engles [04:50] Cubexombi: Alright [04:50] Jay-Oh-En, now I'm confused. You want the lines, or you don't want the lines? [04:50] On this computer I get a list of packets it checks [04:50] sethk: i do [04:50] Rodri: Necesitas entrar "/join #ubuntu-es", por ejemplo [04:51] sethk: i want the lines [04:51] Jay-Oh-En, ok, go into /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove quiet, both on the kernel line and on a line by itself. [04:51] just wondering, what IRC programs do u guys use? i use konversation cuz it owns even though i use gnome [04:51] Xacarith: are you trying to upgrade? [04:51] Cubexombi: lol wtf "sudo: cd: command not found" [04:51] sethk: thats all? [04:51] Jay-Oh-En, yes. The lines will also be written to /var/log/messages [04:51] my goof typo [04:51] jack_sparrow My other computer comes up with a list of packets checked Also update manager doesn't come up with any updates, saying my system is up to date. When I installed from the same CD on this computer I had like 100+ [04:51] Jay-Oh-En, you can repeat the startup lines with the dmesg command [04:52] sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [04:52] Jay-Oh-En, although dmesg has a limited buffer size so old messages are eventually lost as new ones appear. [04:52] Xacarith: are the repos set the same on both? [04:52] What command will show me what programs are listening on what ports? [04:52] Also the only packets synaptic is loading in is the ones already installed [04:52] Jay-Oh-En, but immediately after boot, do: dmesg > captured-dmesg to preserve the messages. [04:52] AzureLight sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [04:52] seth i mean like this on startup http://kde-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/26409-1.jpg [04:53] jack_sparrow Repos?

More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource [04:53] sethk: and ill pastebin my grub and you edit it k please :) [04:53] cubexombi: Alright, done, now how do I restart x? XD [04:53] Xacarith: Perhaps, just explain what you are trying to do or install [04:53] AzureLight: cntrl alt backspace [04:53] Jay-Oh-En, you change it, paste it, and we'll tell you whether or not it's correct. [04:54] jack_sparrow I'm trying to bothy update the system and install other programs, like xchat === hotma is now known as ayu_18_kul [04:54] sethk: did you look at that image [04:54] ctrl+alt+backspace.. if it doesn't restart, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:54] Jay-Oh-En, looking [04:54] Hi, i'm just about to wipe my ubuntu system for a complete re-installation- i've used APTonCd to get all the packages, copied over all of my home folder onto my flash drive- would you recommend me doing anything else? [04:55] Xacarith: installing xchat etc is easy.. but please define update the system? [04:55] sethk: thats what i want it to look like on startup [04:55] Azurelight if it doesn't restart, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf will restore your current config [04:55] Hello? Is Ereryone here? [04:55] Xacarith: You might want to look at synaptic for your package management and enabling the extra repos. [04:55] jack_sparrow Your usual OS updates [04:55] Cubexombi: I got some warning box saying ubuntu is running in now graphics mode, and now I have a smaller resolution [04:55] do you know chinese? [04:56] winkman, sounds like a plan, I'm assuming you're gonna have a home partition on this next install? [04:56] 有中国的么？ [04:56] !cn | tianshu [04:56] tianshu: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [04:56] Jay-Oh-En, The startup scripts for ubuntu and gentoo are rather different. It is not trivial to get exactly the same display. [04:56] Jay-Oh-En, if you prefer the gentoo style, why not just run gentoo? [04:56] AzureLight Hmm.. tahts a little odd I didn't mess with your resolutions. [04:56] jack_sparrow I have been just using synaptic packet manager to install xchat... But when I search for it on the laptop nothing comes up. [04:56] 有懂中文的么？ [04:56] nickrud: I'll have the same setup, things have stuffed up with one of my latest updates - (my keyboard is majorly stuffing up in firefox, and speed has dramatically reduced) [04:57] tianshu: me. But I can't input chinese right now [04:57] Azurelight you can sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf will restore your old config. [04:57] !info xchat [04:57] xchat: IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.4-0ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 300 kB, installed size 808 kB [04:57] Xacarith, system->admin->software sources, make sure the first four are ticked, and the cd is not [04:57] sethk: well i dont like gentoo and i know you can do this in kubuntu and ubuntu usually you press a key to make it like this on startup to see what things fail BUT i want it like this every single time [04:57] cubexombi: first, let me try glxgears [04:57] Xacarith: do you have universe enabled? [04:57] howdy all [04:58] Xacarith: If not... enable it ... then update then install [04:58] does ubuntu server come with a active firewall? [04:58] Jay-Oh-En, it won't be precisely the same, although it will be close. [04:58] Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [04:58] sorry 7.10 [04:58] lol [04:58] !firewall [04:58] 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). [04:58] brb [04:58] Joy-Oh-En: I think this is enabled/disabled by using the 'Quiet' option in boot [04:58] tubetop, no, it's not running [04:58] sethk: thats all i want :] [04:58] Jay-Oh-En, I'm trying to remember exactly where that switch is. Hold on a few moments. [04:58] What did you do Cubexombi? XD [04:58] sethk: thanks [04:58] nickrud: so... this sounds ok? [04:59] Azurelight um not enough to screw that up :) Looks like it doesn't like a few options [04:59] has anyone here installed ubuntu using an lvm ? [04:59] does iptables have a line in init.d or somentin? [04:59] winkman, yup, that's the basics. I have home on another partition, so I don't need the usb, but what you are doing is the same as I do (for what thats worth :) [05:00] mmk [05:00] Alright, restored my previous setting [05:00] Azurelight, thats odd.. [05:00] nickrud: Thanks for that... [05:00] i just want to open CUPS printing for a USB printer on the servers [05:00] tubetop, if you want to set up a firewall, install firestarter [05:00] nickrud: see you on the other side then... ;) [05:00] Cubexombi: What exactly did you add to it? [05:00] winkman, we hope ;p [05:00] tubetop: you can check your ports using grc.com and running shieldsup scan.... [05:01] jack_sparrow Um, this might be a dumb question... Where is it you want me to check on these things In synaptic? [05:01] nickrud: No no... we WILL... *refuses to have ubuntu stuff up...* [05:01] I can print from on the cups admin page...just cant connect from other boxes on the network. [05:01] Cubexombi, sometimes if the config file has glitches, it will fall back to a default resolution, so it can happen without specifically changing resolution related settings. [05:01] And I also have my Restricted Drivers enable btw [05:01] i am guessing its a firewall [05:01] hi, just installed ubuntu 7.1, upgraded from simplymepis 6.5, and now my computer does not see my wirless card, can anyone help me [05:01] hi all, the restricted device manager doesnot detect my graphics card, ati HD 2400 [05:01] im on gusty [05:01] although samba works fine and I didnt have to change the firewall for it [05:01] Xacarith: run this from a terminal.. cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/Desktop/sources.list.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) [05:02] tubetop, that's not likely to be an IP filter issue. (The so called "firewall" is just an IP filter.) [05:02] tubetop, firestarter is a tool for setting up the firewall rules, more accurately [05:02] I wonder sometimes how people memorize all these commands... [05:02] iptable manager [05:02] it may have been when I pulled out the wacom stuff, possible it didn;t like it .. [05:02] anyway to make restricted device manager detect my card? [05:02] Cubexombi: I'm still curious, what were you throwing into my conf? [05:03] well i got that all out of the way, downloading updates [05:03] I'm willing to try again [05:03] Just send me another conf [05:03] Azurelight, basically stuff from this http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/suse-linux-help/46396-successful-ati-radeon-x600-driver-installation.html [05:03] hey guys how do i change my ubuntu login to log in on the terminal...no fancy graphics or anything, just terminal [05:03] does firestarter work from bash or is it xprogram? [05:04] tubetop, gui [05:04] can someone help me get ubuntu to recognize my wireless card [05:04] tubetop, has a wizard, and everything :) [05:04] Matt__, I can try. [05:04] manduski, google it seriously. youll get a very fast answer [05:04] doh...I don't have any of the gui yet. I was trying to avoid [05:04] Matt__, what kind of card is it? [05:04] Cubexombi: odd, it should work... [05:04] does SMK kernel have problems with ATI? [05:04] i did [05:04] SMK = SMP [05:04] Maybe something is wrong with my driver? [05:04] manduski, i boot to cli every time [05:05] a buffalo g54 [05:05] bibstha, no more than any other kernel [05:05] soldats, i did but i must be typing the wrong stuff [05:05] manduski, "boot cli in ubuntu" [05:05] Though I'm currently running the open "radeon" driver I was able to squeeze about another hundred or so fps out of glxgears.. using more or less the same flags. [05:05] soldats, what is cli [05:05] tubetop: you can always man iptable [05:05] command line interface [05:05] nickrud: yeah :( [05:05] my understanding is that there is no good way to add the desktop to an existing install...stuff doesn't happen automagically like it does in an install [05:05] jack_sparrow ok did that [05:05] nickrud: what happened to opensource drivers from ATI? [05:05] Matt__, ok, can you open a terminal window and put sudo lspci and see if you can find your card and tell me what the name it gives is? [05:06] lol FoF ownz! [05:06] and i own at it [05:06] Indeed. [05:06] the sourceforge one worked perfectly [05:06] soldats, thanx [05:06] jack_sparrow has sever things at the bottom about line commented out by installer beciase it vailed to farify [05:06] Xacarith: open that file..now on your desktop.. and you will see the sources that are enabled on that machine... one will show universe.. and it will most likely have a # in front of that line [05:06] okay....iptables -L has no rules at all [05:06] bibstha, time , we're just waiting. I wouldn't expect anything till spring at the earliest [05:06] lol i need a wireless keyboard... [05:06] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580748&highlight=ati+radeon+xpress+200m [05:06] manduski, i think edit inittab to runlevel 3 instead of 5 [05:06] I can do Through the Fire and Flames on hard in Frets on Fire [05:06] Does that look useful? [05:06] !firewall [05:06] 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). [05:07] any ideas for configuring sound card in Gutsy on a T60? I tried some hints online, but nothing works until now. [05:07] i can barely do TtFaF on mediaum on Ps2 :O [05:07] hey guys, how do I completely disable xgl and all other nonessential compiz-fusion related things... all I want is gnome [05:07] manduski, a nasty way of doing it is to uninstall gdm "boot login manager" [05:07] Xacarith: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment the ones you want to add. [05:07] and when i did i got 72% :P [05:07] Cubexombi: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580748&highlight=ati+radeon+xpress+200m [05:07] heh... I got 85% in FoF [05:07] Azurelight, yup the key thing for you would be near the "fglrxinfo -display :0" part [05:07] ok, i did that haymaker....not sure wich it would be...i have IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adapter (rev 01), pretty sure that is it [05:08] Should I just do that whole process [05:08] soldats, thanks [05:08] ? [05:08] Matt__, looks that way, 1 sec lemme see what i can find [05:08] looks promising [05:08] The upgrade one, since that's what I did [05:08] Xacarith: I was only hanging out while my work was uploading for tomorrow... then off to bed.... lots of good help on that in this channel. [05:08] ok thanks [05:08] Upgrade from Feisty [05:08] Cubexombi: which card do u have ? [05:08] okay FoF oficilly ownz aperantly i can Import my GH3 songs :D [05:08] Yeah [05:08] woootsicles [05:09] jack_sparrow Well I do thank you for yours Take care and sleep well [05:09] I wouldn't recommend using the built in importer though [05:09] goodnight... [05:09] bibstha, one that isn't supported by the new driver I've got an rs200m (igp 330M/...) [05:09] Its incredibly slow [05:09] how i do it then? [05:09] brb lemme switch to dual monitors [05:09] hi all [05:09] in my box, restricted device manager doesnot even detect the driver [05:10] weird [05:10] im in ubuntu 7.10 and set up my WG111 usb wireless adapter its connected to the network and all now but im not getting any dns numbers or auto dhcp and such [05:10] how can i fix that? [05:11] ok im on dual monitors so how should i import my GH3 songs? [05:11] Cubexombi: HD2400 [05:11] I don't do imports myself, I just go to the fretsonfire.net forums... links are posted there. [05:11] Radeon [05:11] Azurelight, step 10, near the "fglrxinfo -display :0" on that link you sent .. that should be a good way to check your drivers btw [05:11] ok [05:11] im in ubuntu 7.10 and set up my WG111 usb wireless adapter its connected to the network and all now but im not getting any dns numbers or auto dhcp and such [05:11] You will have to join of cource to get to the song posting forums access...

[05:13] im on it ill register 1 sec [05:13] tubetop, yes, but you'll probably want to install linux-generic to get a kernel more suited to desktop (if it's primarily a desktop, that is) [05:13] ie...will it still autoconfigure everything? ;) === crush_groove is now known as crushin[A] [05:13] Matt__, can you join #matt [05:14] anyone available to help me figure out my wireless usb adapter?

[05:14] banshee's a bloatware. hehe [05:15] actually the machine is mainly a server, but it does have a dvd burner and a coreduo2.2...so it could run the gui. I just dont need open office and things like that ....so I went with a ubuntu server install [05:15] k im registered on forums [05:15] Cubexombi: I got Xgl, now to reboot [05:16] AzureLight crosses fingers [05:16] tubetop, you can install a simple desktop with xubuntu-desktop , keeps it light [05:16] doorknob60: This is what I used for the GH3 songs: http://www.fretsonfire.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=5;t=13221 and this link looks good also: http://www.fretsonfire.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=5;t=5619 [05:16] I'll be back! (Hopefully) [05:16] will it get firestarter and cups configure on it too? [05:18] ty irred [05:18] tubetop, you can install all of the stuff you need, and firestarter will run under xubuntu [05:18] Does anyone know how to get dvd playing to work? [05:18] k...thanks....thought I was being good by just running the server version....oh well :) [05:19] doorknob60: When you are done with all those, the song posting forum is a nice place. I have all of the DragonForce songs I could find... They are pretty insane [05:19] what is a good dvd burner for ubuntu....which does it run on X, gnome or KDE?

[05:26] could there be any problems with the fact that i have a dual boot setup? [05:27] rubydiamond, it depends, I'm a lil old school and stick to xmms and shoutcast streams .. ymmv [05:27] cffhg [05:28] ccvcc [05:28] Hi I am looking for an application like revelation that will manage passwords, but also allow short notes for an entry. Any suggestions? [05:28] tonyyarusso: if you _overwrote_ you're out of luck :( [05:28] what's the apt command for reinstall? [05:28] doorknob60: What is your username? [05:29] TTilus: bah, shoot. [05:29] r00723r0: sudo apt-get --reinstall install package [05:29] r00723r0: afaik [05:29] is there a way to have all files in a folder always belong to the same group...so if a user is editing a file or creating a new file it will be created with the group set to something? [05:29] roger [05:29] mariamystar, you should run that thing crimsun asked for [05:30] idefine: make the folder chmod g+S [05:30] idefine: iirc [05:30] irred: my forum iser is doorknob60 [05:30] okay i will [05:30] ok. is there anybody running ubuntu on macmini? [05:31] soldats, i can't figure out what to modify on /etc/event.d/rc-default [05:31] soldats, is this even the right file? [05:32] i know this soudns stupid [05:32] but how could i do i run the program? [05:32] i'm still pretty new to linux [05:32] nickrud, what file in /etc/events.d? [05:32] mariamystar: which program are you attempting to run? [05:32] What is the best radio player for ubuntu [05:32] mariamystar, download it to your Desktop, then in a terminal paste the following: type cd ~/Destop && chmod u+x alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh [05:33] alsa-info.sh [05:33] rubydiamond, you mean a real hardware radio card? [05:33] mariamystar, erm, paste the stuff after type :) [05:33] manduski, all of them as a unit [05:33] hey wooot i opened a rar file with ubuntu archime manager and it worked! since when? [05:33] Thank god for live CDs [05:33] :P [05:33] I managed to kill my computer [05:33] yay time to try FoF :D [05:34] Unless there is still hope [05:34] Cubexombi, you still here? [05:34] AzureLight: What did you manage to do ? :D [05:34] AzureLight: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48502/ ---> your original xorg.conf if you need it, [05:34] yup [05:34] Dr_willis, I want simple radio player like xmms [05:35] TTilus: thanks! [05:35] 64bit flash plugin? [05:35] Yes... now how do I get it back without being able to login, not even to my root account? [05:35] TTilus: what is iirc? didn't get that part [05:35] what is a good channel to discuss lirc? [05:35] rubydiamond then why don't you use xmms for your streams? [05:35] xmms is a media player. If you want somthing that can play shoutcast.com streams and so forth. there is xmms, or bmpx, amarok, juk and others.. [05:35] nickrud, to modify the runlevel which file do i do it in? [05:35] Anyone? [05:35] i heard xmms on ubuntu sucks [05:35] rubydiamond, i say try bmpx [05:35] xmms has gotten out of date.. and has lots of issues these days [05:35] hey guys. my DVD drive won't auto mount when I insert a new CD. where should I start looking? [05:35] Hold on... let me give a synopsis of what I did [05:36] nickrud, i guess what i'm trying to get at is how do i modify the file to change the runlevel for boot to command line [05:36] I can mount it manually fine. [05:36] Xmms is the same as xmms, it's just old. still does the job though [05:36] manduski, changing the runlevels is pointless in ubuntu, by default 2-5 are identical. If you change that, you can edit rc-default [05:36] why can I not grow my Raid6 array with mdadm? I get the error : "Cannot set device size/shape for /dev/md0: Invalid argument" [05:36] mariamystar, what type of audio are you wanting to hear? Do system sounds work?

A sec [05:37] I ran sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl in the terminal, restarted my computer, nautilis crashed, so I disabled my restricted drivers and restarted, and now I can't login, the screen flickers for a few seconds and then goes back to the login screen. Thank god I have my Live CD. [05:38] mariamystar, I got a pastebin link back [05:38] hm [05:38] let me re-run it [05:38] nickrud, i opened up that file, but i can't identify where i change the runlevel....and i read that in order to start ubuntu on console login you have to change runlevel from 5 to 3 [05:38] i need some help.... Hello guys ... ive been trying to find a solution for this issue and already tried google but nothing... i cannot play dvd's with totem (gstreamer) it says : "Could not open location, you might not have permission to open the file..." I already installed the libraries to play dvds and everything [05:38] okay [05:38] this is my new response from the scriipt: [05:38] Uploading information to www.pastebin.ca ... Done!

Ubuntu defaults to 2 [05:39] AzureLight if you want to start from basics and revert all teh way back to fresh you can always "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but thats going to just get you back to square one [05:39] Cubexombi: Do I do that in recovery mode? [05:39] mariamystar, then what you do is copy that link into a post here, with crimsun's name in it so it gets his attention [05:39] Cubexombi: And will it work? :D [05:39] nickrud, there are two places for that, edit both? [05:40] I'm trying to install ubuntu, and it's stalling at the initial orange progress bar before install - I have a feeling it's my FX5200 nvidia card causing this. Any hlep? [05:40] manduski, yes [05:40] help* [05:40] Crimsun: the script told me to go to http://pastebin.ca/819823 [05:40] thnx [05:40] idefine: if i remember correct [05:40] mariamystar: do you intend the sblive to be your default audio device? [05:40] it will put your xorg.conf back to it's ORIGINAL state, like a fresh install.. I'm looking for a good x600 how to just for compatibility [05:40] crimsun: yes i do [05:40] TTilus: ah, ok. thanks....started googling it and was confused. hha.

I already installed the libraries to play dvds libdvdread, libcss2, w32codecs etc [05:41] mariamystar: then you need to do this: echo "options snd-intel8x0 index=-2"|sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base [05:41] Cubexombi: Alright, that's good enough for me, and I can input that in recovery mode, right? [05:42] yup, heck you should be ok if you just alt f2 [05:42] mariamystar: after a reboot, you'll be fine. [05:42] From the Live CD? [05:42] Why does Firefox stop responding so often? [05:42] Because that's what I'm using right now [05:42] graah! still no luck simply running updates to freshly installed gutsy breaks it down somehow, it boots fine, but i cant log in, nautilus (or occasionally some other prog, like gnome-panel) hangs and all i get is mouse cursor on solid background color [05:42] crimsun: thank you, for you help. if i don't sign back on that means it worked. thank you so much [05:42] Are there NVidia drivers with the ubuntu installation? It keeps hanging on me at the orange progress bar during installation. [05:42] !firefox [05:42] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu.

[05:43] Cubexombi: Or for gaming, should I just backup my home folder (since it's all I need) and re-install Ubuntu and leave room to dual boot windows?

I already installed the libraries to play dvds and everything [05:50] ask the real question [05:50] yeah how can i play them [05:50] Cubexombi: Now, I ran the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in the Live CD [05:50] midgetnator i said you should try sudo [05:50] But does it work when I reboot my PC to run normally? [05:51] Or do I need to run it from recovery mode? [05:51] dont you need ffmpeg to do dvd.. and the dvdcss libs? [05:51] AzureLight- nope.. you've gotta do it from the machien while "borked" [05:51] have them dekkard [05:51] borked? [05:51] not working.. [05:51] dekkard: already installed them [05:51] hmm [05:51] is it an original dvd.. or a burned one? [05:51] its mentioning permissions [05:51] <|_ocke> should I try installing 7.10 64bit on a celeron 420 1.6ghz 64bit processor? [05:51] dekkard: burned [05:51] Wait... what exactly so I do? [05:51] you should try sudo to open the dvd program midgetnator [05:52] try an original [05:52] when you're sitting at the craptastic broken x display, you can hit ctrl+alt+f2 and it should breing you to a console login [05:52] nostahl ill try it right now [05:52] ive found it wont recognize some burned dvds.. but will play real ones [05:52] I can't login to anything though [05:52] I can get to my login screen though, is that all I need?

[05:54] Azurelight any way you can get to a term is good, it should bring you to a terminal window though if you hit ctrl-alt-f2, otherwise when you restart the machine you can hit esc at grub and choose recovery mode [05:54] # iosn [05:54] Alright, recovery mode it is [05:54] Since I know that I can access it [05:54] on my box it didnt recognize a ..erm... non original dvd [05:54] And this does remove the xgl stuff, right?

[06:02] Hi. I've been trying to get Google Talk work with wine on ubuntu (gutsy) but every time I get "Connection Error" after giving credentials and the application hangs. I'm using the wine-dev version. [06:03] Can anyone please help on this Gtalk issue? [06:04] hey all - having a strange issue with installing ubuntu (or any other linux) and soft raid, if anyone has the time and know-how to help me [06:04] skelte: what is soft raid? [06:04] software raid === crdlb_ is now known as crdlb [06:05] through the mobo chipset rather than a raid card [06:05] skelter, what problem are you having? [06:05] skelter, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [06:05] im new here [06:05] anyone care to help me solve my problem with DVD burning? it keeps telling me to insert a blank or rewritable disc in [06:05] varka, thanks, but i'm having errors beyond that howto [06:05] !w32codecs [06:05] The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages [06:05] i have brand new discs, and my system recognizes my drive [06:06] what's this 'hardy'? [06:06] sethk, in the partition wizard, i try to make a raided set of disks, using three equally sized partitions on three disks in raid 5 [06:06] Cubexombi, let me know if you are here [06:06] won't let me, says that i need 3 disks and only 1 is available [06:06] i see that it thinks the 2nd two disks are already being used for a raid, called md0 [06:07] i try to delete it, and it tells me it's in use? this is in the install wizard, booted from a CD [06:07] is a new release coming out sometime soon, codenamed hardy something? [06:07] Jangari: it is the next version of ubuntu that is planned for release in April 2008. [06:07] Hi. I'm trying to use Gtalk with wine on ubuntu(gutsy) but every time the application fails with "connection error" and hangs. Can any one please help me with this? [06:07] anyone??? [06:07] skelter, does mount show anything for the /dev corresponding to that drive? [06:07] Is there a way to format a USB drive? [06:07] i cant burn DVDs for some reason :-/ [06:07] sethk, i have no terminal to do fun things like mount [06:07] Because a lot of files are lacking permissiobs [06:08] *permissions [06:08] nice, portablejim, hardy what? [06:08] skelter, sure you do, if you booted the live cd. [06:08] this is the alternate cd [06:08] i cant run dsmod on my server [06:08] hardy hyena? [06:08] the live cd is having trouble [06:08] possibly related to this issue, possibly not [06:08] Jangari: Hardy Herron [06:08] hey [06:08] skelter, what I've done in your situation is to use a conventional partition for the installation, get the core system up and running (which doesn't take a whole lot of space), then set up raid before installing the various packages I need. [06:08] aha [06:08] skelter, it seems you never read that howto... [06:09] varka, yes i have read the howto [06:09] Using GPARTED, can I reformat a USB drive? [06:09] kill linux [06:09] varka i get to the point where it says to do "sudu dmraid -ay" [06:09] I can get in in there but I can't see anyway to delete the current partition [06:09] or make a new one [06:10] Jangari: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron [06:10] and then there is an issue with the raid45 driver not existing (raid456 replaced it in the new kernel) [06:10] but that is neither here nor there [06:10] sethk, i did that, and when i finish and reboot, grub screws up [06:10] in stage 1.5 [06:10] grub error 2 [06:10] skelter, sounds like you have more than one issue here. [06:10] a web search suggested reinstalling :\ [06:11] a real question then: i was told to use smbmount //server/share /mountpoint -o username=me to mount a server, but it's throwing up 'smbmount command does not exist' [06:11] let me check on what grub error two means. [06:11] sethk, yes, but i am pretty sure they're all related to the partitioning and messing up my raid settings === Ttech2 is now known as The_Doctor2 [06:11] the motherboard chipset has a raid utility which i have fiddled with [06:11] Can I ask a question about the Openoffice/theme bug here? [06:11] skelter, no, if you have a conventional partition, no matter what raid is doing, grub should be happy. [06:11] p[i [06:12] skelter, of course a bug can invalidate logic, but that's still a good bet [06:12] wow...this is taking forever to move my 165 gigs of stuff....grrr [06:12] sethk, well, it finished installing cleanly on the first hard disk, then i get that error 2 [06:12] ntfs support is right away, right? i dont have to install ntfs-3g? [06:13] skelter, the docs say that error 2 is caused by a configuration problem. Can you put your menu.lst on the pastebin? [06:13] bigmatt, you don't need it for read only access [06:13] sethk: i need read and write for it [06:14] sethk, this is remote debugging at the moment. i left campus a little while ago [06:14] sethk, how would i access menu.lst? === tomaw_ is now known as tomaw [06:14] skelter, hard to do much, then. [06:14] skelter, it's in /boot/grub [06:15] sethk, the livecd isn't starting, so it's difficult to look at such things [06:15] skelter, if you can't boot, you have to boot the install cd in it's rescue incarnation [06:15] chown problems with an hfs+ drive that's not journaled. noob needs help. [06:15] skelter, wait, the _live_ cd isn't starting? [06:15] that's right [06:15] it has started in the past [06:15] but no longer :< [06:16] in the past being the past two days, since this is a new box [06:16] How do you tell what is installed on your system. There are a lot of program and libs. I remember Ubuntu 7.04 have something that showed you what you had installed is there anything like that for Ubuntu 7.10. [06:16] AzureLight - man it is snowing really had out there.. [06:16] skelter, you have some sort of hardware problem. Nothing at the software level can stop it from booting from the CD [06:16] i am pretty sure the problem lies in the motherboard settings somewhere [06:17] for instance, when i first tried to run the live cd, nothing would happen. eventually i foudn i could disable the splash screen by changing splash to nosplash in the boot command [06:17] An external HD won't let me read/write to it. I've tried chown, but it's not working [06:17] linux sucks [06:17] heh [06:17] then that would hang too, until i enabled the raid controllers in the bios setup [06:17] clsu, really? That's so enlightening, I never knew that. [06:17] it does tbh, it just doesn't suck as much as windows [06:17] so for a while i was ablet o boot off the live cd fine [06:18] skelter, It may make sense to try the text mode install from the alternate cd. There are too many variables here. [06:18] I've been using linux as my only OS for about 6 years now [06:18] sethk, that is the kind of install that i did that worked [06:18] skelter, if it were a mother board or bios setting, why would it ever work? [06:18] sethk, but then grub had issues [06:18] and there's a shi* load wrong with it...but it's still far better than windows [06:18] skelter, the grub issues can be fixed. [06:18] solaris is the best [06:18] solaris isn't free [06:19] sethk, except my computer stopped liking the live cd... [06:19] AzureLight - you back to halfway to normal? [06:19] clsu, I've used solaris for many years, and it has some definite strengths, but it also has weeknesses. [06:19] johnRobert, what do you use Linux for ? What do you do mainly with it? just asking [06:19] grr, sometimes apt-get install fails to download while the synaptic package manager does it perfectly [06:19] primus sucks [06:19] tarelerulz: I use it as my desktop OS for work/play/whatever [06:19] skelter, download the fedora rescue cd [06:19] therefore I use it all the time [06:19] ah good point, i have the fedora cd that can do rescue mode [06:19] therefore I notice the bugs :p [06:20] so i can get menu.lst [06:20] JohnRobert, I just started a new job which is 100% linux, so I'm free of windows, even for email. To me that's great. [06:20] what's really worrying is ubuntu is becoming bloatware at the moment [06:20] skelter, yes, exactly [06:20] sethk, are you going to be around for a while? i don't want to keep you away from life [06:20] JohnRobert, true, but there are other distros that are more oriented to being light weight. [06:20] sethk, but if you were going to be here for a while i'd go back to campus (5 min drive) to try to deal with this [06:21] sethk: I like ubuntu though, and it seems like my poor old laptop can't keep up any more :/ [06:21] hi [06:21] skelter, I can wait a bit, but I'm starting to fade, and I think I'll be only semiconscious in about 1/2 hour. [06:21] im excited.... [06:21] and I don't like xfce :p [06:21] im installing gibbons on my macbook [06:21] skelter, probably makes more sense to look at it tomorrow. [06:21] alright [06:21] thanks for your help [06:21] JohnRobert, you can do a stripped down install and be selective in the packages you run. [06:21] JohnRobert, and run windowmaker. [06:22] The reason I ask is most use it for more technical stuff. They write code , do web servers and so on. I use it for playing/hobbie and day to day OS. trying to get every I want in an os. Still working on that haha. Most what i do is surf the web, download movies ,music and look around for a new program i can install [06:22] JohnRobert, on one box, kde comes up in 26 seconds, and windowmaker comes up in three seconds. [06:22] JohnRobert: me neither, ur not the only one [06:22] JohnRobert: I'd almost agree with you there, though i remember having to install all sorts of apps after thumbing through god knows how many broken or old how to's .. I'll settl efor a little bloat so long as I can take my Os with me on a 1gb thumbstick [06:22] sethk: you reckon it's metacity at fault? [06:23] JohnRobert, well, I'm really just guessing, of course, but it's certainly a possibility and it's pretty easy to find out. [06:23] heh [06:23] Hi. Anyone has experience with broadcom 43xx? Followed the instructions on the wiki but it still doesn't work. It connects to my Access Point but it doesn't get a DHCP Lease. Even tried to set the IPs manually but it still won't work. Also the "driver" seems to be crashing now and then... [06:23] I think Xorg could be optimised somehow [06:23] Cubexombi , You take your os with you on a thubmstrick ? How has that been working out for you ? [06:24] when I first got this laptop, it had windows on it...windows moved around the screen smother in windows than they ever have on linux [06:24] JohnRobert, certainly possible. Running window maker would let you decide that (1) it's not really the window manager, it's X or (2) it's not really X, it's the window manager or (3) both contribute. [06:24] I don't like the way people tiptoe around that fact [06:24] :/ [06:24] it's probably X [06:24] JohnRobert, that's an issue with linux, yes. [06:25] yeah I read about that [06:25] JohnRobert, OSX is as much better than windows, as windows is better than X [06:25] my compiz stuff runs very fast, btw [06:25] technically it's better this way apparently [06:25] has anyone here installed ubuntu on their mac ? [06:25] JohnRobert, it's a trade off. Effects consume significant resources. [06:25] heh [06:25] I don't have compiz on or anything silly like that [06:25] :p [06:25] the only way to run windows xp is to have the Longhorn Transformation Pack installed along with it. the GUI looks much better (better themes_ [06:25] anyway [06:26] And I only have an Intel GMA 915 on my laptop. Windows move extremly smooth. === karthik is now known as karthik_afk [06:26] beter than my i810 Znuff [06:26] Oh jesus, how old is that? [06:26] hello [06:26] 3 years? [06:26] I bought a bottom of the range model [06:26] probably where I went wrong [06:26] 有汉语吗 [06:26] tarelerulz- pretty good actually, I've got one stick that just a plain feisty live CD with persistance, every now and then I have to remove a locked X file, (when I switch from hardware to hardware) but at work all my workstations are the same. (persistant live mode rules) my other stick is a reconstructed build that has cisco VPN built in so I can connect to work from what ever hardware has a compatible ethernet card... not to mention the bonus geek p [06:26] oints it gives. [06:26] JohnRobert, uhm... my laptop is 3 years old and it has gma 915 [06:26] (ibm r50e) [06:27] But my laptop is currently in broken state :-( Got ACPI problems. [06:27] I have an intel 945GM graphics card, compiz works great on it, no problems at all :) [06:27] I'll get a new laptop soon with X3100 from Intel [06:27] Cubexombi, oints? :) (max line length) [06:28] has anyone here installed ubuntu on their mac ? [06:28] Znuff, if the laptop has acpi, it has acpi problems. :) [06:28] prozacmas, which mac? [06:28] prozacmas: i havent but i happen to know people who have [06:28] whoops - geek points. I mean really OS on a stick. [06:28] Cubexomobi, that sounds pretty cool. I would like to try that out myself. I don't want to use it as an os ,but use the usb thumbstick as an install media . Rather then burning cd all the time. I mean thumbsticks are getting big. the last I saw was 8 gigs [06:29] prozacmas: on powerbook [06:29] Cubexombi, I know, I'm just giving you a hard time to keep myself awake. :) [06:29] youderenyou [06:29] sethk macbook or macbook pro [06:29] sethk, heh, all computer have acpi now, you know? :P [06:29] don't blame you.. [06:29] tarelerulz, I saw a 32 gig on Friday. Amazing. [06:29] ok guys, what im trying to do is get rid of all panels & just run everything off AWN the only thing i need is to get a working nm-applet in my Znuff, yes, I know, and I was exagurating, but only a little [06:29] sethk i am installing ubuntu 7.10 on my macbook pro as we speak [06:29] 32?! [06:30] whoa [06:30] Don't tease me Sethk . that is very nice [06:30] I created a tar.gaz backup of my entire linux system. When I want to restore it, how do I delete all files before it is untared? [06:30] prozacmas, I've only done it on a G3/G4. [06:30] * speeddemon8803 looks at my 4 gig and cries [06:30] with compiz fusion my taskbar randomly freezes :\ [06:30] sethk, it just started to randomly reset yesterday. Vista and/or XP would randomly crash whenever I touched it. Linux was hanging... Tried acpi=off and now it seems stable. [06:30] tarelerulz, I think it was about $450. Which is of course very high, but prices come down quickly. [06:30] i liked beryl better [06:30] Znuff, sounds like an interrupt race condition. [06:30] Cubexombi, you back yet? [06:31] tarelerulz - yup. it's perfect, so long as you can boot and have USB 2.0, (my laptop's only got usb1.1 and .. well don't even bother going there.. ) [06:31] Yay [06:31] You are [06:31] sethk, yeah but.. just like that out of the blue? [06:31] Znuff, if you can do without acpi (which probably means you don't run on battery), then there isn't a problem. [06:31] AzureLight - you back to halfway to normal? [06:31] Nope [06:31] It didn't work [06:31] where you stuck? [06:31] Znuff, race conditions are notorious for hiding out for a long time, even years, and then appearing. Something ages, responds just a nanosecond earlier or later, and boom. [06:31] I think it's a Nautilus error [06:31] Znuff, or crosstalk develops [06:32] Znuff, it's odd, but it does happen occasionally. [06:32] I still dream of the day I can use an usb thumb-stick as a install medium . I am not dreaming am I ? === rjguerrero is now known as Mike [06:32] Either way, I've already began backing up files [06:32] Could also be a possibility when things like static electicity come into play as well right sethk? === Mike is now known as MikesHarDLinux [06:32] well here// do this.. get to the login in screen and choos failsafe xterm - (bottom Left of teh login window) [06:32] But permissions are a bitch :( [06:32] tarelerulz: umm why can't you use a usb stick? [06:32] where do I go to get help with configuring lirc in macmini? [06:32] I have a modded login window [06:32] So it's not there XD [06:32] speeddemon8803, indeed, you can have something that was exposed to static show up with a problem long after the actual incident. [06:33] sethk, yeah, but mine usually reboots only when I touch it :P [06:33] <---computer tech..know ALL about that crap [06:33] lol [06:33] I switched gdm to slim but now I can't figure out how to switch it back... [06:33] I can find you the how to [06:33] I created a tar.gaz backup of my entire linux system. When I want to restore it, how do I delete all files before it is untared? [06:33] speeddemon8803, there are some great microscope photos you can find on the net showing the kind of degradation that happens. [06:33] sethk, if I don't touch it - it runs perfectly for days [06:33] Gerro, I have try to find something on it ,but all the stuff is for Using the usb thumb-stick as a os houseing . Not an install mediem. [06:33] fun Times! [06:33] seth, I've seen them, I've even had it happen to me so I know what it can do [06:33] Znuff, well, then, don't touch it and you won't have any problems. Ssh into it from another machine. :) [06:33] Yeah, I'm just gonna wipe my hd clean [06:33] I've had MELTED chips b4 because of static electricity [06:33] And start from scratch [06:33] tarelerulz: what do you want it to do? [06:33] sethk, I *do* need to do stuff on it :P [06:34] speeddemon8803, you don't really need the photos, but I find them interesting. [06:34] with the liove CD it's the same thing [06:34] Cubexombi , for using a usb thumbstrick as an install mediem [06:34] oh, they are very intersting seth :) [06:34] sethk, I was thinking to run Windows in VMWare now :-/ I need Windows stuff but I can't run it [06:34] Znuff, well, that's not very reasonable. You want to actually be able to use it? :) [06:34] yup [06:34] What directory are Thunderbirds stuff kept in? [06:34] x can't be that broiken.. === karthik_afk is now known as karthik [06:34] Znuff, vmware on an already flaky machine is often a recipe for producing suicidal ideation. [06:34] sethk, I can't do DTP over a network connection :D [06:34] I saw a chip on the internet one day, dripping.... [06:34] I don't think it's X though [06:34] Well, Cubexombi post way [06:35] Znuff, details, details, don't confuse me with facts. [06:35] I will read it for sure [06:35] sethk, planning to buy a HP Compaq 6720s now... Decent specs and pretty good price. [06:35] tarelerulz: hmm you mean like install ubuntu to usb then use gparted livecd to image the hard drive for near instant install? [06:35] speeddemon8803, the sweet smell of burning silicon ... [06:35] Because I did have the Nautilus crash [06:35] Znuff, I hate the keyboard [06:35] sethk, why is that? [06:35] Znuff, many of the compaq/hps I've seen have only one alt key [06:35] I don't mind reformatting and whatnot [06:35] It's almost 2AM here [06:35] Znuff, and other stuff in the wrong place. Murder if you are a touch typist. [06:35] nah my gnome crashed when my xorg rubbed it the wrong way too [06:36] sethk, uh, I didn't check the pics. [06:36] Eh [06:36] Znuff, I would. [06:36] sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:36] I mean I try to find stuff on it ,but never found anything . I mean I felt like I can't be the only one thinking of use an USB thumbstick as an installing mediem . They are big enough now . You could put something like SUSE if you wanted too. [06:36] you should still have the working copy there [06:36] Znuff, I think the IBM (or whatever the IBM laptops are called nowadays) has the best keyboard, and I love the mouse stick. [06:36] Welltrue [06:36] i installed ubuntu and after the initial menu it says starting ubuntu but then the screen goes blank. can anyone help me out ? [06:36] But if that doesn't work, I'm wiping my HD :D [06:36] tare, I've got a 120GB portable hd [06:37] Znuff, but there are many good ones with a proper keyboard layout. The "proper" layout is one where it is never necessary to press two keys with the same hand. [06:37] Becasue I want a Windows Partition anyways [06:37] What I mean is to use The USB thumbstick like you would an install CD [06:37] Znuff, well, with fingers from the same hand. :) [06:37] sethk, I hate the clit now. I used to like it but I prefer some acceleration on my touchpad :-). Seems the model I picked has AltGr too. [06:37] prozacmas, does the hard drive continue running, and how long did you give the blank screen? [06:37] Znuff, many boxes these days have both the stick and touchpad [06:37] prozacmas, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=121819 [06:37] sethk, I have an old HP Compaq nc6220 now. Got pretty used to the keyboard [06:38] sethk, mine has it too... But I can't really use it. I find it too strange now that I've got used to a touchpad. [06:38] Alright, does anyone have a link to a site that has all the instructions I'll need to dual boot XP and Ubuntu from absolutely nothing? [06:38] true nuff, you said you wanted to get a little bit of gaming down too anyway. [06:38] sethk, seems VERY slow [06:38] Znuff, but that's really just a matter of preference. The keyboard layout comment is based on facts (statistics about typing speed and error rates). [06:38] oh, sethk that's perverse, I remap the ctl key to the caps lock just so I can use two fingers on one hand [06:38] AzureLight, install XP, then install Ubuntu. [06:38] Znuff, what seems slow, the stick? [06:38] sethk, yup. Like no acceleration whatsoever [06:39] Alright, now how do I go about wiping my HD with Windows? [06:39] just make sure to partition enough space to install ubuntu [06:39] Cubexombi , you Saying put the live cd iso on an usb thumbstrick and trick it into think the usb thumb strick is a live cd and use it for the installer [06:39] Does the Live CD have something to partition? [06:39] Znuff, might be a configuration issue. Mostly I plug in a mouse, unless I'm on an airplane or some other awful place. [06:39] sethk, also, when I used to use a stick, my fingers/hands would hurt from too much clicking. On a touchpad I don't feel that pain anymore. [06:39] Znuff, indeed, if it's more comfortable for you, stick with it (if you'll excuse the expression) :) [06:39] macmini anyone? [06:39] I have a Gparted live cd [06:40] now... if I could only figure out how the hell to make my wireless card work :-/ [06:40] Should I just format from my Gparted Live CD and then make my partitions from there? [06:40] AzureLight, sure that would work fine [06:40] Better yet, is there a site with detailed instructions? [06:41] Because I'm known to mess even the simplest things up [06:41] Like the partition positions and whatnot [06:41] AzureLight, I'll sumarize the instructions: create 1 partition of whatever size you want for linux. Then another one for Windows. Then create a small one for swap. [06:41] Linux one first? [06:41] AzureLight, you said you don't mind the risk of having to reinstall, so, sure, give that a try (gparted, that is) [06:41] Znuff, shouldn't it be windows first? [06:41] AzureLight, windows first [06:41] Ok [06:42] AzureLight, or better yet: 1st partition, /boot - 200MB, 2nd partition Windows, 3rd partition Linux, 4th partition swap [06:42] nickrud, right. I've seen boxes where windows refuses to boot from anything other than the first partition. [06:42] ext3 for linux? [06:42] AzureLight, yes, ext3 [06:42] sethk, yes, me also [06:42] AzureLight, also, make SURE you create them all PRIMARY partitions. [06:42] now... what about the /dev/sda1 and stuff? [06:42] sethk, windows needs a primary partition. Won't boot/install without it. [06:42] For those who contribute to Ubuntu, thank you [06:42] nickrud, right, and since linux doesn't have that bug, just let windows be it's usual piggish self. :) [06:43] sethk, also, Windows allows only 4 primary partitions on a disk. [06:43] Znuff, indeed, that's true, but what does it have to do with this question? [06:43] AzureLight, sda is the first drive, and sda1 is the first partition of the first drive [06:43] AzureLight, don't bother. [06:43] sethk, you said you've seen stuff that won't boot :P [06:43] Znuff, the MBR specs allow only four partitions. Has nothing to do with windows, specifically [06:43] So set a boot to 1st, windows to second, linux to third and swap as last? [06:43] Znuff, yes, but I'm not quite dumb enough to put windows on an extended. :) [06:44] sethk, well, yeah, but only windows crashes if you feed it more than 4 primary. Linux and others dont' care/mind [06:44] Znuff, in fact, I see no reason to ever use extended partitions on modern machines. Problems relating to large partition sizes were solved long ago. [06:44] So I'm trying to build the tp_smapi module but I get this "/bin/sh: scripts/genksyms/genksyms: not found". What does that mean? [06:44] AzureLight, no, windows on 1 , linux on 2 , swap on 3 , create extended partition(4), then home on 5 [06:44] sethk, haven't used one in ages [06:44] nickrud, dude, let the man have a /boot [06:44] Znuff, why these days? we're not using lilo [06:45] Znuff, indeed, that's quite true. In fact it's similar to what I said; to wit, windows is bitchy, so give it the first primary and put linux after that, since linux boot properly. [06:45] Someone wanna type this up so I can print it off? XD [06:45] Well, thanks Cubexombi, iy would be nice to have an os on thumbstick and having the option to install it to the computer you have it plugged into [06:45] is tehre a way to use my webcam as a login for ubuntu 7.10? [06:45] Znuff, but, what can you expect, windows has only been around for 20 years or so and you can't expect them to fix things more quickly than that, can you? :) [06:45] it would be kinda sick if my laptop required the webcam and fingerprint scanner to allow login [06:45] it comes in handy thats for sure, plus boots a little quicker too [06:45] r3n0c, not sure what you mean by that. [06:45] it's conquering by refusal to coexist [06:45] r3n0c, fingerprint scanner makes sense. Do you mean facial recognition for logging in? [06:45] sethk, yeah, so young... :-/ [06:45] sethk, only lets you log in if it recognizes your face [06:45] sethk, like the webcam could have a picture of you on file, and to login, it would have to see you [06:46] sethk, yeah [06:46] r3n0c, so what happens if you cut your hair? ^^ [06:46] r3n0c, I've seen the fingerprint implemented. I haven't seen the camera login, but believe it or not there are lots of things that exist that I haven't seen. :) [06:46] reinstall the OS [06:46] Znuff, lol well it shouldn't have to match the whole face [06:46] it's all fun and games untill you wake up one day with "hang over face" and want to login.. [06:46] sethk, yeah, i got the fingerprint to work [06:47] i believe it [06:47] r3n0c, no really, face recognition is kind of stupid. [06:47] skelter, hey, that's why windows help is so easy, the answer to every question is reinstall the os. [06:47] Cubexombi, it is just that i saw it for windows, working [06:47] r3n0c, now... EYE IRIS SCAN - that would be sick ^^ [06:47] Cubexombi, I have all thought it might be an cool idea . I mean I really do belive it is all data and you should not need a cd . I mean we live in the age of rewritble media that is big enough why not use it. Plus the nerd factor is there too haha [06:47] Znuff, I wouldn't say it's stupid [06:47] lol, I'm about to reinstall windows to fix crap [06:47] Znuff, lol well yeah, but i thikn an iris scanner is a bit more expensive then my 1.3m webcam [06:47] sethk, untill you find yourself not being able to login :) [06:47] Znuff, use the fingerprint for authentication, use the photo simply to figure out who is logging in, not to prove that it's really that person. [06:48] yeah that could work too [06:48] Znuff, I could find a way to log in, and you could as well. :) [06:48] Alright, so final conclusions on how I should go about with my dual booting? [06:48] sethk, but not average joe :-) [06:48] has anyone installed ubuntu on a aes256 encrypted partition [06:48] well yeah, but the point is that it is cool, not that it isn't easy to bypass [06:48] Windows needs to be first [06:48] And should I have the /boot? [06:48] AzureLight, its easy :) [06:48] hi. anyone here know how to install zope 2.10 on gutsy server? [06:48] Znuff, seriously, though, nothing to stop you from having one conventional login and the rest photo logins. [06:48] lol [06:49] Cubexombi, looking for sure I found that Ubuntu made an windows installer for Ubuntu. I thought that was very cool. really getting Ubuntu to the widest about of people. For those who might want to try out Linux , fear repartitioning thier card drive . I mean it keep me for Linux for while [06:49] put liveCD in, make sure to custom partition the disk, first shrink windows portion, then add a swap partition and a ext3 partition. [06:49] 02:04.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) <-- I've got the president's wireless card!!! [06:49] Znuff, heh, same card I have [06:49] www.bannanasecurity.com [06:49] Eagle-101, does it work for you? :-/ === chaky_ is now known as chaky [06:49] Znuff, I saw a bus parked here the other day, called "ground force one" and painted up like AF1. :) [06:50] they have it for windows :( [06:50] sethk, cool :P [06:50] Znuff, yep, both on ubuntu (automatic) and gentoo, (I manually configured it) [06:50] Znuff , I would look at ndiswrapper site [06:50] Eagle-101, doesn't work for me :-/ [06:50] dunno what ubuntu does, but with gentoo you have to compile in a kernel module for it [06:50] There needs to be something like that Ubuntu thing for Windows, but a Windows thing for Ubuntu! [06:51] So that you can run it right off of your Ubuntu install [06:51] Znuff, alright, hang on a moment let me get my settings for you [06:51] Eagle-101, please. [06:51] So /boot partition or not? [06:51] tarelerulz, guess that would be my almost-last solution. [06:51] What are the advantages? [06:51] argh i'm out, got finals this week [06:52] AzureLight, I see no real advantage to a separate boot partition. [06:52] AzureLight, how big is your disk? [06:52] 250GB [06:52] AzureLight, I haven't used one in about 10 years. [06:52] sethk: i use a separate boot so my grub.conf is more protected [06:52] AzureLight, does it show up as 250GB in your BIOS? [06:52] tarelerulz, no need for ndswrapper [06:52] Yeah, a bit less [06:52] I am adding a printer from the network through Samba [06:52] mosno, I do not agree that a separate boot partition means that your grub configuration file is less vulnerable [06:52] Well, It is what I had to do . It was what I keep running into when I did searches . I mean I hear b43 is out there . it is the replacement for bcm43xx [06:52] Znuff: ndiswrapper is the easiet solution for those cards and is actually faster than the native support [06:52] hi i'm using a dell vostro 1400 which has built in blue tooth. i disabled the bluetooth service, but that doesn't turn off my bluetooth adapter. how do i turn off my bluetooth adapter? the bluetooth light is still on. if i turn off wireless, the wireless light goes off but for bluetooth it's not the same. [06:53] But nothing is happing when I print a test page [06:53] i'm on Gutsy [06:53] mosno, anyone who hacks himself the privileges to modify the file can mount the partition. [06:53] mosno, protected? a shared menu.lst that any os can alter? [06:53] oh! what version of ubuntu are you using Znuff ? [06:53] sethk maybe he means it takes 1 moar step to get to it [06:53] Eagle-101, gutsy [06:53] with xubuntu here the restricted drivers manager did the work for me [06:53] soldats, yes, but I don't think that's significant. [06:53] Is there something else I should be doing [06:53] sethk: fair enough. it's more that it's protected from *me* when i reinstall or whatever [06:53] Eagle-101, it doesn't for me [06:53] 232.83 GiB [06:53] sethk: ie. if i'm trying different distros [06:54] Eagle-101, I mean, the card gets detected and everything. [06:54] mosno, I don't really see how or why. [06:54] That's what it shows up as [06:54] Eagle-101, it even connects to the AP [06:54] Znuff, alright, open a terminal [06:54] mosno, I suppose. Backing up /boot takes about 10 seconds. [06:54] So not quite 250 [06:54] sethk, yes i agree with you though. but i meant he wasthiking other [06:54] !bluetooth [06:54] Eagle-101, but it won't get an IP from the DHCP server [06:54] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [06:54] ooh here's a good one, does anyboby know how to fix randomly skipping audio playback in flash? (link like a scratched Cd but only for a second or two.. once every few minutes) [06:54] sethk: it's more or less useless these days but back in the old days it would save my ass [06:55] znuff, you don't use any ip blocking stuff? I did that and it blocked everything . just asking [06:55] Znuff, sounds like you don't have dhcpcd [06:55] but lets try something alright [06:55] sethk: ie. back before i knew how to manually install grub [06:55] Cubexombi, ask Adobe when they're gonna fix their flash player. [06:55] I wish I had someway of staying in this room while partitioning ans stuff... >_> [06:55] Eagle-101, dhcp client is there. [06:55] tarelerulz, nope. [06:55] Is there a flash based IRC client? [06:55] true that... [06:55] AzureLight, probably. [06:55] rflol [06:55] use pidgin [06:55] to connect to irc [06:55] One that I can access on my Wii [06:55] in bootcd [06:55] or grab xchat [06:55] AzureLight, google wii irc :) [06:56] or grab irssi :) [06:56] has anyone installed ubuntu on a aes256 encrypted partition [06:56] i have [06:56] Znuff, please open a terminal, and type in iwlist eth1 scan [06:56] (could be wlan0 instead of iwlist) [06:56] err eth1 [06:56] Well, Znuff, just asking . I did that and I was about to compile b43 and I reinstalled ubuntu and found after i install mobock I could not get web pages [06:56] Znuff, if you can scan using the card, then the problem is not the card :) [06:56] ionstorm can i pm you [06:56] Eagle-101, I can scan, yes. [06:56] Sometimes the simple stuff can be the answer . I am glad it is not that. I felt a bit dumb haha [06:57] i didnt manually do it, I used alternate cd [06:57] me too [06:57] ok whats the q [06:57] Znuff, are you able to connect to an accesspoint? [06:57] Eagle-101, yup. [06:57] hang on.. [06:57] ionstorm can i tell you in pm [06:57] Eagle-101, but it eventually fails. [06:57] ik [06:57] ok [06:57] its hard for me to follow here [06:57] Eagle-101, hit the connect, it's telling me its connecting then it fails [06:57] ok thanks [06:57] iwconfig eth1 essid "YOURACCESSPOINT" [06:57] what does that give you? === prozacmas is now known as towlieban [06:58] Alright, I'm gonna do this all tomorrow [06:58] Znuff, if the wnet uses a key, the problem is likely related to the key. [06:58] towlieban? [06:58] hi [06:58] wish I would have stayed with my Belkin card :-/ that was working so nice out of the box :( [06:58] 2AM is not the best time to be messing with dual booting and partitioning [06:58] Znuff, better, please put the output of iwlist eth1 scan into a pastebin? [06:59] I'm looking for some help. Can anyone help me? [06:59] !ask [06:59] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [06:59] t_, only if you ask a question [06:59] i'm trying to change the schema for the autohide size of the top gnome-panel [07:00] gconf-editor won't allow me to edit the schema [07:00] DOWN with microsoft! [07:00] t_, run it as root (that is, with sudo) [07:01] Znuff, the card works, seems like you have problems with your network key. I know the card works because I have the exact same thing working in two different linux operating systems. [07:01] i also went to usr/share/gconf/schemas/panel-toplevel.schemas and edited that but i don't think it did anything === spideyman is now known as Gill === Gill is now known as Gillbates [07:02] f* ISP [07:02] Does this site work for anyone? [07:02] http://irc.emascc.com/home/gs69azza/public_html/irc/thevoid.digitalspread.net [07:02] i tried gconf-editor with sudo also [07:02] Znuff, did you burn it? [07:02] Znuffy, did you get my request to paste the output of iwlist eth1 scan into a pastebin please [07:02] no i t says no redirect fialure [07:02] it says "Currently pairs and schemas can't be edited. This will be changed in a later version." === Gillbates is now known as spideyman [07:04] http://www.wiipals.net/chat.html [07:04] Someone tell me what that is [07:04] t_, you'll have to edit them off line from a console. BACK UP FIRST. [07:04] chat? [07:04] Does it let you join any IRC channel [07:04] hello [07:04] Or is it just one specific one? [07:04] Eagle-101, just a sec. I have to reapply the firmware stuff. [07:04] would that be under the usr/share/gconf/schemas? [07:05] I'm too lazy to get Java atm [07:05] AzureLight, who knows? You are obviously already in an IRC chat room. [07:05] ... [07:05] AzureLight, or do you mean you want to use it because it uses the nintendo hardware? [07:05] Znuffy, alright, you should only have to do that once. [07:05] Znuffy, alright, you should only have to do that once. (pasting again incase Znuffy could not see) [07:05] How do i find IP range of my Lan [07:05] can somebody tell me why mencoder are not workin on ubuntu? http://rafb.net/p/jWpBF564.html [07:05] sethk: I want to know what it is for the possibilty of using it off my Wii's browser [07:05] So that I can be in this room while installing my OSs [07:06] http://pastebin.com/m5b0a27f2 [07:06] AzureLight, I don't know that. Pick a few sites and see if you can get to them. [07:06] oh man, if anyone needs a chuckle: http://ex-parrot.com/~pete/upside-down-ternet.html [07:06] AzureLight, actually, just try to get on this site. After all, we know everything so who needs any other channel? :) [07:07] do i use route -n? [07:07] haymaker, I've seen it before, it is very amusing. === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [07:08] that was for Eagle-101 :P [07:08] Is there a way to access this room on a Wii though? [07:08] AzureLight, I don't know, don't use Wii. [07:08] how big is the ubuntu 7.10 when it finishes the installation? [07:08] sethk, i laughed so hard i was crying [07:09] Hi, I just bought an XPS 1330 and installed ubuntu. there is a port called hdmi and I am curious to try it so I bought an hdmi cable and connect it to my lcd tv but now what?! ;) [07:09] AzureLight, sure, though dualbooting is nothing to get worked up over :) [07:09] Znuffy, looking [07:09] I cannot see my pc on the tv screen as I expected and I have no clue what to do [07:09] Znuffy, alright, when you go to connect to this accesspoint, please make sure encryption is turned *off* [07:09] Eagle-101, it is. [07:09] haymaker, be fun to see someone trying to use it that way. [07:10] I just formatted the unbuntu drive in my dual boot machine not realizing that grub was on that drive. Is there an easy way for me to go back to the windows boot loader? [07:10] Znuffy, alright, go back to the terminal and type in ping google [07:10] err google.com [07:10] Eagle-101, doesn't work :-) [07:10] mattbot, boot to the windows disk in recovery mode and run fixmbr [07:10] mattbot, fdisk /mbr [07:10] mattbot, or fixmbr in windows recovery [07:10] mattbot, or add windows to the grub config file. [07:10] Znuffy, alright did you type in iwconfig eth1 essid "Znuffie Woofie" [07:11] Eagle-101, yup. [07:11] Oh well [07:11] grub is gone, along with linux, I'll try the windows recovery [07:11] is the card actually on eth1? [07:11] Eagle-101, then dhclient eth1 [07:11] I will resort to the forums if I need anything [07:11] Eagle-101, yes [07:11] Znuffy, ah! [07:11] mattbot, you should really give up windows though, its trble [07:11] dhcpcd eth1 [07:11] Now to get some sleep and then start the installation process [07:11] forums is the forst place to look for problems [07:12] Thanks for all the help guys [07:12] every time i login, i have to go into Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, and click the Window Decoration box, otherwise i never get any window decoration, anyone know how i can fix this? [07:12] AzureLight, sure, don't sweat it [07:12] Eagle-101, nothing, ofcourse. [07:12] soldats, did you mean first, or worst? :) [07:12] Znuffy, nothing as in a new line? [07:12] i sudo edited usr/share/gconf/schemas/panel-toplevel.schemas but i cant tell if it had any effect on gnome-panel [07:12] first [07:12] Eagle-101, next timeout, next timeout [07:12] So formatting is done in Gparted, right? [07:13] bengl, do you have save setting on rbooet selected [07:13] Znuffy, are you connected vie a different internet connection? [07:13] haymaker, I need it for my desktop for some proprietary software I use for work. Every other machine I own is 100% linux. Just had to format the linux drive on it because I was running out of room. [07:13] ie wired? [07:13] sethk, i meant first === netdemon is now known as NeT_DeMoN [07:13] soldats, just checking. :) [07:13] Eagle-101, yup, but don't mind that. I have different IPs assigned to each network interface :) [07:13] oh alrighty! [07:13] mattbot, i hate that proprietary windows software [07:13] how big is the ubuntu 7.10 when it finishes the installation? [07:13] soldats, where is that? [07:14] sethk, i like your smiley face ;) [07:14] As do I, haymaker, but since it is for work, I don't want to fuck with it. [07:14] can any one help me with a sound card problem? [07:14] Znuffy, give me a moment, this really should work with no problems :S [07:14] bengl, in the desktop settings i believe [07:15] hallow, depending on what you install, 3gb or so [07:15] mattbot, have you tried to run it in wine? [07:15] Eagle-101, http://pastebin.com/d41611f40 [07:15] Znuffy, one finally thing, specify to your card the following iwconfig eth1 channel 2 [07:15] bengl, oh man it may be in login settings [07:15] any one? [07:16] is i plugged in correctly [07:16] it [07:16] me? [07:16] NeT_DeMoN: try just stating your problem. If anyone can help they will. [07:17] i have an intel sound card, i had vista and it didnt work right then either [07:17] the card may be bad then [07:17] NeT_DeMoN: Do you know which model it is? [07:17] fyda: hold up [07:18] Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [07:18] Is it possible to get the server time from the command line? [07:18] hello [07:18] fitztrev: uh, 'date'? [07:18] fitztrev, ntpclient ip-of-time-server [07:19] I have a small issue , and I was wondering if you guys could help me .. [07:19] date [07:19] does anybody know how to make the gnome-panel autohide so that it is only 1 or 2 pixels? [07:19] Znuffy, my thought right now is to try to give it a specific IP address instead of using dhcpcd [07:19] mo whats the problem? [07:19] Im loading ubuntu from cd , I was trying to install [07:19] Eagle-101, like I said, tried that too. [07:19] thing is for ubuntu this should work out of the box for my card [07:19] date works. thanks! [07:19] Eagle-101, won't ping. [07:19] any one? [07:19] Znuffy, the advanced way lol [07:19] the hard drive is NTFS [07:20] soldats, he used "Server" and "time" in the same sentence :P [07:20] NeT_DeMoN, it may be a bad card, or bad configuration for drivers [07:20] Znuffy, paste the output of ifconfig please [07:20] and I was trying to take the free space to install it on [07:20] solddats: it used to work === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [07:20] Eagle-101, I'm not *that* stupid, you know? :) [07:20] but ... installation stays and never moves from the partition screen .. [07:20] Znuffy, ahh i figured me meant off his own server [07:20] t_: right-click on an empty part of the panel, select properties [07:21] it does nothing [07:21] Eagle-101, I know that's correct :) [07:21] t_: the trick is to find an empty part of the panel [07:21] Eagle-101, it just doesn't authentificate with my AP [07:21] NeT_DeMoN, you said it didnt in vista either thoghg [07:21] mo so its just sitting there? [07:21] yea [07:21] it just quit working one day, and it will work every once in awhile [07:21] Znuffy, alright, try this then, make the AP use WEP [07:21] soldats: yeah [07:21] Eagle-101, I think I'll just use ndiswrapper :-/ [07:21] mo alright, well do you have any valuable data on the ntfs volume? [07:21] funny thing is [07:21] and give it a password :) [07:21] yea [07:22] plenty [07:22] :( [07:22] NeT_DeMoN, faulty wires bad connection. check connection if it isnt integrated [07:22] :D [07:22] Znuffy, thing is... your card is working >.> [07:22] mo how big is the volume? [07:22] whats the name of that app where you can add your trashcan to the desktop? its some sort of browser with check boxes [07:22] Eagle-101, logs say it doesn't :) [07:22] soldats: its a laptop [07:22] around 60 gigs [07:22] i know the name i just cant remember [07:22] mo how much free space?

[07:23] NeT_DeMoN, I would hit it with a hammer. Won't fix anything, but you'll feel better. [07:23] NeT_DeMoN, if it randomly goes on and off it may be another process using it or bad connection or bad cables [07:23] Znuffy, well good luck, its going on 2AM here, feel free to ping me if you still need help tomorrow [07:23] NeT_DeMoN, if you don't like that idea, see if headphones have the same symptoms. [07:24] Eagle-101, It's 9 am here. Been up all night... and morning :> [07:24] that card should just setup and work [07:24] linux worked for me on much much less [07:24] It should :-( [07:24] I'll give ndiswrapper a try [07:24] I didnt think ubuntu would be any different [07:24] ohg yea sethk thats a good idea [07:24] mo oh it will work, but windows needs free space [07:24] I deleted windows [07:24] windows stoped working [07:24] and it kept restating [07:24] mo so you just have this ntfs volume with data on it? [07:25] damn, any one know how to stop a sit load of lags :P [07:25] shit^^ [07:25] yes :D [07:25] moin [07:25] i'd say best thing to do is get your data off [07:25] I tried to fsck it [07:25] to repair errors [07:25] I tried gnome partition [07:25] how long has it been waiting? [07:25] but it stopped after 5 seconds [07:25] setup waits endlessly [07:26] Znuffy: what firmware are you using? [07:26] sethk: lmao [07:26] the default that ubuntu downloads? [07:26] !clone [07:26] To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [07:26] NeT_DeMoN: In what situation did it last work? I have the same sound card and it does indeed work. [07:26] funny thing is [07:26] soldats: well thank for helping me dude [07:26] poppy75, the one that ubuntu suggets [07:26] theres admin password in this live cd [07:27] so I cant do anything [07:27] NeT_DeMoN: All I can say is, it "Just Works" in Feisty and above [07:27] in terminal [07:27] fyda: like no certian cituation [07:27] mo, sudo is probably wide open. Try sudo -i [07:27] NeT_DeMoN: Have you checked your mixer settings? [07:27] okay thanks :D [07:27] mo if it asks for a password, use your own password, not roots (even if you knew it) [07:27] fyda: i guess ut just decides when to work [07:27] fyda: yeah [07:27] NeT_DeMoN: And everything is unmuted, and if you're on a laptop, "External Amplifier" is checked? [07:27] hey guys, can someone tell me how to disable nvidia restricted driver from command line? [07:28] NeT_DeMoN: Because over here, not having Ext Amp enabled = no sound [07:28] I can't see the XORG anymore since I enabled it [07:28] fyda: yeah, alsa mixer right? [07:28] NeT_DeMoN: Yep. [07:28] fyda: ok, thanks [07:28] i had the same problem, what you should do is remove the bcm firmware found in /lib/firmware then do sudo wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o and sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o [07:28] what is the path in gconf-editor to make it so my mounted drives dont show up on desktop? [07:28] may I ask you , would fsck be the best program to fix errors on ntfs ? [07:29] how do i set socks proxy for aptitude [07:30] fyda: what about the stock speakers on the laptop? [07:30] Znuffy, do you understand what i mean? [07:30] amitprakash: System -> Prefs -> Network Proxy [07:30] NeT_DeMoN: What do you mean? [07:30] ok poppy75 [07:30] does anyone know how to get around gconf-editor denying schema editing [07:30] i'll try that [07:30] ogre: try /apps/nautilus/desktop [07:30] poppy75, tried that firmware too. [07:30] fyda: like the speakers on the laptop [07:30] scguy318, works for aptitude command line [07:30] umm [07:30] ?? [07:31] poppy75, I'll try ndiswrapper [07:31] brb [07:31] ok [07:31] scguy318, does it work for aptitude command line too? [07:31] NeT_DeMoN: Without "External Amplifier" enabled, there's no sound from the headphone jack nor from the laptop speakers. [07:31] fyda: i think it might just be a crappy toshiba :P [07:31] uhm, wait... question [07:31] amitprakash: yes [07:31] how the hell do I stop the native driver? [07:31] fyda: ok, how do i enable it? [07:32] fyda: sorry, im kind of a oob [07:32] NeT_DeMoN: You're using GNOME, right? There should be a volume control icon in the top panel. Double-click on that. [07:32] noob^^ [07:32] i am trying to find the sqlite3-dev package to compile xmms2, does anyone know which one i need to get? a search comes up with quite a few results [07:33] fyda:yeah, ok [07:33] NeT_DeMoN, type alsamixer in a terminal and turn everything up [07:33] NeT_DeMoN: It should be set to use the Alsa mixer, by the way (mine says "HDA Intel (Alsa mixer)"). There should be a "Switches" tab too. [07:33] fyda: ok [07:33] NeT_DeMoN: Can you see an "External Amplifier" option in there anywhere? [07:34] NeT_DeMoN, open the sound card config menu from the apps menu and set it to alsa [07:34] yuuuup [07:34] ndiswrapper worked [07:34] fyda: nope [07:34] brb [07:34] NeT_DeMoN: (If there's no such option, go to Edit -> Preferences. Enable "External Amplifier" in the list of tracks to be visible.) [07:34] poppy75: I don't see it [07:34] wasme: do i have to restart x before my drives will no longer be visible? [07:35] does anyone know of a fix to get my mic / line in working for the "Failed to construct test pipeline.." error? I have mythtv installed and ready but since those ports dont work its not really panning out [07:35] <|_ocke> anyone tried one of these celeron 420 '64-bit' cpus with 7.10 64-bit? [07:35] MontoyaC see what? [07:35] anything that starts with bcm [07:35] ogre: you may have to restart nautilus [07:35] <|_ocke> im worndering if it would work [07:35] poppy75: it just goes from atmel to dvb [07:35] poppy75: Is there another location for restricted drivers? [07:35] are you having the same problem Znuffy was having? [07:36] anyone have conky working on gnome? I know that its running i see it for a second when I boot up and when I shut down but I cant see it while im using my pc [07:36] ogre: which you can do by restarting X ... or just 'killall nautilus' and it *should* restart on its own ... but I take no responsibility if it doesn't and your left without a filemanager ... (although you could just restart it from the terminal if it doesn't restart on its own.) [07:36] poppy75: I didn't see his problem, I did a fresh install of feisty and clicked "enable nividia drivers" under restricteds [07:36] fyda: you said turn everything up right? [07:36] fyda: like on the terminal [07:36] poppy75: "out of range" error as soon as I restarted [07:36] NeT_DeMoN, id say first you need to rclick on the audio notifier and set the default to alsa [07:37] NeT_DeMoN: I never mentioned the terminal... maybe that was soldats? [07:37] MontoyaC your wireless was working before that? [07:37] poppy75: I'm talking about display drivers, not networking drivers! [07:37] wasme: im doing some strange stuff to my box tonight anyways. I have deleted all panels and am running everything off AWN [07:37] MontoyaC oh, i was wondering what you were talking about [07:37] sorry about that, i got d/ced [07:38] Fyda, yes it seems hes responding to you so tell him to run alsamixer in terminal and turn everythign up [07:38] poppy75: do you know where to find the restricted drivers on the filesystem? or how to disable them? [07:38] soldats: how do i turn the other two up [07:38] or rclick the audio icon and set default to alsa [07:38] soldats: the default is alsa [07:38] MontoyaC one second let me check into it [07:39] NeT_DeMoN, if something wont go up it means its not recognized or not installed [07:39] thanks [07:39] ogre: Is conky set to draw to the root window? [07:39] soldats: ok, how would i re-install it? [07:39] Fyda: i dont know. I am on a fresh install [07:39] damn [07:39] does anyone know what would be the best program for harddrive sector repair in ubuntu ? [07:40] i just installed it like 20 mins ago [07:40] anyone up tonight :) [07:40] Fyda: how would I check? [07:40] Does anyone in here use geforce 7600 gs? [07:40] NeT_DeMoN, i think via command line apt-get has a reinstall thing for it. i dont remember exactly. but you "could" try to uninstall it and apt-get it again [07:41] ndiswrapper worked great :) [07:41] soldats: ok, how do i un-install it, soory im like fresh noob to this [07:41] sorry^^ [07:41] NeT_DeMoN, are you familiar with Synaptic? [07:42] ogre: Well, if you use gconf-editor and disable /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop, does that make conky visible all the time? [07:42] MontoyaC are you just wanting to remove the restricted drivers or fix the error? [07:42] I has a question. is there a way to get x-chat Gnome to keep the user list up? [07:42] Click System>>Administration>>Synaptic Package Manager [07:42] or should I just install X-Chat instead? [07:42] Fyda: let me try. one second [07:42] I'm using XChat [07:43] no problems with the user list being on the screen? [07:43] darkw0lf: it's probably easier to just use X-Chat ... x-chat-gnome is a version of x-chat with a stripped down interface with fewer options. [07:43] cause in x-chat gnome it's a popup list [07:43] xchat-gnome sucks hard :-/ [07:43] wasme: ah. thanks :_ [07:43] *:) [07:43] poppy75: First, disable them, so I can at least see the desktop [07:43] soldats: thanks for helping though [07:43] poppy75: then I might install envy [07:44] NeT_DeMoN, "sudo apt-get -f install alsa" [07:44] just try sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx [07:44] ok [07:44] it should fix dependencies [07:44] NeT_DeMoN: It's technically the same if you just use the GNOME volume mixer, as long as (like soldats said) you set it to use the ALSA device. [07:44] i think that is the package that it installs for restricted nvidia when you use the restricted driver manager [07:44] poppy75: That package is not installed [07:44] Fyda, yes ;) [07:44] MontoyaC: try nvidia-glx-new [07:45] soldats: is that a command i run in the terminal?? [07:45] anyone tried KDE4? [07:45] i have [07:45] NeT_DeMoN, yes [07:45] wasme: Nice work! that existed [07:45] I have to say, I'm rather impressed with Ubuntu 7.10 [07:45] MontoyaC have you tried booting into recovery mode? [07:45] its not very nice imo [07:45] soldats: ok thank [07:45] s [07:45] poppy75: I'm in that now [07:45] I've had trouble in the past with Ubuntu [07:45] poppy75: I think wasme got it [07:45] ok [07:45] NeT_DeMoN: Additionally, have you looked in System -> Preferences -> Sound? There you can set which device is used for sound playback. [07:45] poppy75 wasme: Now how do I start the graphical interface? [07:45] NeT_DeMoN, it may not work but its a try in the dark. [07:46] try gdm for login screen [07:46] or startx [07:46] to go into a session [07:46] startx [07:46] fyda: yeah [07:46] MontoyaC: I'm sorry, I wasn't following what you were doing ... are you trying to install the nvidia drivesr or remove them? If you removed them you need to reconfigure X to use a different display driver, like nv or something. [07:46] soldats: what if it asks for my password but yet won't let me enter anything?? [07:47] wasme: I'll get to that later, at least I have a display now! [07:47] wasme he is trying to remove since he is getting overrange error [07:47] wasme: Internal error: failed to initialize HAL! << what does that mean? [07:47] MontoyaC try installing nvidia-settings also when you try to reinstall so you can check everything [07:48] NeT_DeMoN, when you do "sudo" it will ask for password but when you type it it wont display anything [07:48] soldats: ok [07:48] MontoyaC: HAL is the thing that tracks your hardware so when you, say, plug in a new usb disk everything will see it right away ... why it failed to intialize I don't know. But your system should still be useable without it. Just some of the hardware magic won't work. === Icarus is now known as DarkW0lf [07:48] there we go much better [07:48] NeT_DeMoN, is bios detecting your sound card [07:48] soldats: lie the cursor wont move either? [07:48] poppy75 wasme: I might just leave the whole thing alone [07:48] like^^ [07:49] soldats: i think so [07:49] MontoyaC a reinstall might be easier if it is a new install anyway [07:49] ok now how do I change colours in X-Chat? [07:49] Fyda: nope its still not showing [07:49] NeT_DeMoN, if reinstalling broken dependencies doesnt work try to see if its detected in bios at bootup. the cursor shouldnt move either ;) [07:49] poppy75: Yeah but I don't have time for that now... and last time I had a good install, when I installed envy, the login screen was always out of range even though it was fine after that... [07:50] has anyone in here had problems installing gutsy with more than one stick of memory installed? [07:50] DarkW0lf, settings > config [07:50] unfortunately my colourblindness affects dark blue on black [07:50] Darkwolf: Edit Menu> Prefs > Colours [07:50] MontoyaC are you using gutsy or feisty? [07:50] DarkW0lf: Settings -> Preferencse -> Interface -> coluors [07:50] DarkW0lf, i meant settings > preferences [07:50] simple question [07:50] soldats: ok, like how would i un-install it with the terminal? [07:50] (xchat-gnome) [07:50] colors [07:50] poppy75: feisty, but that problem was when I had the amd64 version, now I'm using i386 [07:50] soldats: i just want to try to remove it and re-install it [07:51] how would I go around to change the folder or volume from read only to fully accessible ? [07:51] NeT_DeMoN, if you really want to "sudo apt-get remove alsa" then do "sudo apt-get install alsa" i think [07:51] mo: a folder in home? [07:51] Hi... I"ve just burnt an APTonCD disc, and i'm trying to re-install the packages on it... can someone walk me through? I'm getting an error when i try to add it as a CD in Synaptic [07:51] MontoyaC: that is strange, im using gutsy and have had no problems with nvidia drivers [07:51] no [07:51] ntfs [07:51] mo: That would be just chmod, right? sudo chmod 777 [07:51] soldats: ok, thanks [07:51] thanjs [07:51] poppy75: I think my monitors are just crappy, they never configure right. they're cheap [07:51] ntfs-g mo [07:52] thanks :D [07:52] MontoyaC: mind if I ask you to repeat what your problem is? [07:52] MontoyaC: i see, it happens, my monitor is off center until x is initiated so i know what you mean [07:52] Any ideas? [07:52] wasme: I'm okay now, I was having a problem where when nvidia drivers were enabled, the monitor was out of range [07:53] ogre: I don't know what it could be, then. === FusE- is now known as FusE [07:53] MontoyaC: ah, I see. === FusE is now known as ColePT [07:53] poppy75: This would all be fine if nvidia gave us good drivers -.- [07:53] ok uh... heh... I need some additional help. [07:53] Fyda: thanks anyways [07:53] MontoyaC , i know but at least they have some drivers, some companies fail to acknowledge linux as an OS at all [07:53] how exactly do I change the colour of the nicknames at the left side of the screen? [07:53] how do i access a FTP site via gutsy? i'd prefer to use built in tools if possible......... when i try use the connect to server.... option it doesnt seem to do anything :(( [07:54] poppy75: very true [07:54] actually when i try to connect to a server... it just opens a tab in firefox [07:54] how do i fix? [07:54] arooni: Places Menu> Connect To server... [07:54] chmod didnt do it [07:54] DarkW0lf, in the preferences menu there is an option for it called colored nicknames [07:54] ntfs-g didnt exist in ubuntu [07:54] soldats: do i need to restart? [07:54] arooni, usually it also brings up a dialog box saying something like save file, open with, etc. [07:54] Ill check around [07:55] arooni, the tab is an artifact [07:55] arooni: It'll create a menu item in Nautilus, where you can browse your files... :) [07:55] ntfs-config is the package name iirc mo [07:55] gnight [07:55] sethk, is it supposed to launch a tab in firefox? it seems thats all it does [07:55] !ntfs-g [07:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs-g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:55] !info ntfs-3g [07:55] ntfs-3g: read-write NTFS driver for FUSE.

[07:56] soldats:ok, i'll be back later [07:56] ok I think that fixed it [07:56] thanks a bunch !! [07:56] I guess [07:56] what's the port [07:56] arooni, the port for ftp? [07:56] DarkW0lf, if it didnt work i have no clue why [07:56] it's just that stinking blue on black that I can't see due to my slight colourblindness [07:56] Nostahl: xubuntu? [07:57] thanks for the help [07:57] arooni, the standard ports are all listed in /etc/services [07:57] i have ubuntu 7.10 [07:57] sethk, [07:57] Could someone give me a hand at installing a font? [07:57] has anyone used the nvidia drivers via Automatix? are they good? [07:57] I'm new to Linux and don't have any idea how to do it.

I'm getting an error when i try to add it as a CD in Synaptic [08:00] Filled-void: I tried that, it wouldn't support the higher ones, my guess is that the drivers just weren't recognizing the monitor right [08:00] kept on saying read only still [08:00] and im in root :) [08:00] so xubuntu is an entire distro? or just a package for ubuntu with xfce [08:00] soldats: think it could be the wireing in my speakers? [08:00] mo: Did you disconnect the drive from another computer in a hurry? I noticed Windows locks the drives if you don't unmount properly [08:00] NeT_DeMoN, it may be a faulty card. wires may be bad or connection [08:01] Nostahl: distro [08:01] i created a new connection in ubuntu........ but when i try to connect..... a firefox tab is opened.... nothing else ;( [08:01] its a laptop , no I didnt [08:01] NeT_DeMoN, yes, its a laptop right [08:01] Nostahl: It's a distro, but you can install the xfce packages [08:01] soldats: yeah [08:01] (separately) [08:01] !xfce [08:01] xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome.

[08:01] soldats: lol, yeah [08:01] (In the side menu > Places View) [08:02] wait.... now it works :P [08:02] yay [08:02] so i cant type apt-get install xfce4 [08:02] i have to type apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ? [08:02] I'm quite enjoying Compiz Fusion [08:02] Nostahl: I think you can... go and check the xfce site... [08:02] NeT_DeMoN, but yea a tech near you may be the best bet [08:02] I wrote my name in fire on the desktop :P [08:02] I don't get it, xfce looks like plain ubuntu?

[08:05] bazhang: ok, where from [08:05] poppy75, yes [08:05] soldats: Oh, yeah, it comes packages with different menu managers. I guess that's okay [08:05] NeT_DeMoN: Check out the advanced settings for compiz fusion... you'll be able to find it there [08:05] MontoyaC, its very nice i think i have it and prefer it [08:05] NeT_DeMoN: from the repositories [08:06] winkman:compiz fusion, wheres that [08:06] winkman: is there one in C F to freely rotate the cube? [08:06] ?? [08:06] will i be able to import music from my ipod with it? that the only place i have it saved [08:06] poppy75, yes [08:06] hi, where i can configure this feature in gnome that makes all my windows small on the screen to chose one from? how this feature is named? [08:06] DarkW0lf: yes [08:06] bazhang:wheres that dude, im like completely new to linux [08:06] ok thanks [08:06] NeT_DeMoN: have you done an update? [08:06] poppy75, yw [08:06] how do i set socks proxy for aptitude in command line like "export http_proxy" for http [08:06] NeT_DeMoN: Compiz Fusion is included with Gutsy [08:06] darkwolf:yeah, every one thats come out [08:06] I got mine through updating Gutsy with all the features [08:06] is there any way i can order 10 free Gutsy 7.10 cd's for free from canonical i only see an option for 1 cd [08:06] NeT_DeMoN: It's what provides the special effects like desktops on a 3D cube [08:07] fyda: gusty??? [08:07] unikon: Check out shipit? [08:07] fyda: wheres that? [08:07] NeT_DeMoN: Erm. Ubuntu 7.10 is also known as Gutsy [08:07] if you have it installed it's under System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [08:07] NeT_DeMoN: open up synaptic, enable repositories, hit reload, then find ccsm and compiz-gnome, hit apply updates [08:07] i am lol all i see is for 1 free cd [08:07] fyda: ok [08:07] Fyda: That's news to me [08:07] unikon: Hmm... Buy 10 CDr's then? lol [08:08] unikon: Sorry... not sure [08:08] shipit unikon? [08:08] ive gotten 10 free before [08:08] MontoyaC: What is? [08:08] Also wise to go to System > Pref > Appearance and select the full effects setting [08:08] Under the Visual Effects Tab [08:08] Fyda: That it comes with compiz-fusion. Does that mean if I upgrade to Gutsy I'll have compiz by default? [08:08] it's called Extra [08:08] MontoyaC: yup [08:09] MontoyaC: yes, basic stuff [08:09] Winkman: What's the one to use for the freely rotating cube? I can't seem to find it [08:09] winkman bazhang: I'll have to try that later [08:09] MontoyaC: Yeah, only they're labeled "Visual Effects" and enabled via GNOME's Appearance settings [08:09] ah nevermind I got it [08:09] how do i set socks proxy for aptitude in command line like "export http_proxy" for http??? [08:10] Control-Alt Mouse Button 1 [08:10] Fyda: Oh hey, I think Feisty has that too [08:10] :P [08:10] MontoyaC: One of the goals of integration with Ubuntu is that people don't have to know what Compiz is -- they'll just have these effects which are a natural part of the system [08:10] Fyda: I know, that makes sense [08:10] MontoyaC: Yes, but Feisty had a really old version of it (0.3-ish, I think?) and the one in Gutsy is 0.6. [08:10] Fyda: It should be more obvious though [08:10] amitprakash, maybe in the config [08:10] soldats, erm how ^^ [08:10] Fyda: What's an easy way to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy? Via CD? [08:11] bazhang: synaptic package manager right? [08:11] Fyda: I would think so. [08:11] MontoyaC: I guess we're in an awkward transitional state, where some people know what Compiz is and don't recognise it in Gutsy (so they try to install it), and others don't know what it is... [08:11] MontoyaC: via the command line :} [08:11] amitprakash, it was a suggestion. not sure. [08:11] NeT_DeMoN: yes [08:11] Fyda: Well, some people still install Beryl -.- [08:11] bazhang: What would be the correct command? [08:11] MontoyaC: Mm, the upgrade manager should at least tell you that there's a new dist version... [08:11] Aero be damn! >:D [08:12] My laptop just now started to work like crazy, processor being at 90-100% usage. But when I check the System Monitor, nothing was shown to take that much. [08:12] bazhang: it downloaded some stuff whe i did and it refreshed itself, is that supposed to happen? [08:12] And now, apparently, 99% of the RAM is filled. [08:12] hi. i was using a pkg to build/install a new kernel it crapped out and now my package manager is broken all i get is .E: The package linux-image-2.6.23.9 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it i have located and removed all file that said 2.6.23.9 can anyone help? [08:12] CroX: maybe a background service? Checking for updates? [08:12] I mean.. I collapsed the cube, and ran the benchtest on it, with a moving running in VLC media player and I was getting well over 100 FPS === TheDarkBGM is now known as SuperSayjin [08:12] Crox: top [08:12] NeT_DeMoN: yes, now do a search for ccsm, and compiz-gnome and then mark both to install [08:12] I have kind of a strange problem and don't know what to really do about it. [08:13] I was wondering if someone might be able to help. [08:13] MontoyaC: Heh. You're right. I just got a update available notification. But how the *** can that fill my enitre RAM up? [08:13] bazhang: ok, thanks [08:13] though right now I'm running 46... [08:13] Crox: type that into the commandline ... it's a useful little program that'll show you what is using CPU cycles and memory. [08:13] MontoyaC: The online upgrade would require the download of roughly 600+ MB of packages though (at least, this was my experience). It is _also_ possible to download the Alternate CD and use it as a repo in Synaptic (for an offline upgrade). [08:13] CroX: I have no idea, are there a lot of updates??? [08:13] then again it is an old AGP nVidia 6600GT [08:13] !ask [08:13] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [08:13] wasme: System Monitor seems to ge the GUI front end for that, no? [08:13] MontoyaC: One, of wine. [08:14] Fyda: I'm thinking I'd rather just insert the CD I have and do an upgrade there, right? [08:14] CroX: That makes no sense. Run top [08:14] Crox: I don't know, I don't use System Monitor. But posisbly, yes. [08:14] bazhang: when i did the search, all that come up was sdcc [08:14] Probably the best thing to do would be to download an Ubuntu live cd and run the upgrade startup [08:14] CroX, type top in a terminal [08:14] I do believe I saw one when I was installing [08:14] NeT_DeMoN: did you enable the new repositories? [08:14] Yeah, I got top running. [08:14] DarkW0lf: Yeah I have that... I'll do that [08:14] I'm trying to read websites in Pashto and the font on them is all messed up. Half the letters are in a different style of font and not connected like the Arabic script would be and I can't really read it at all. But if I copy it and paste it into anything else it all goes to the same type of font without any problems. Anyone know what could be causing the websites to be messed up like that or what I could do to fix it? [08:14] bazhang: i think so [08:15] MontoyaC: Not sure about using the regular live CD for a full upgrade... I was told to use the alt CD. [08:15] The CPU isn't working that much anymore but the RAM is still filled up. [08:15] NeT_DeMoN: there is other stuff you want to install--better double check [08:15] Fyda: Hmm, darn [08:15] Thornsberry, it may be the sites fault [08:15] It's like that on all of the websites though. [08:15] MontoyaC: but if you can leave your computer on for those several hours, then I guess, go for it? [08:15] Fyda: I'm so tired of burning Linux CD's -.- [08:15] No matter which one I try to go to. [08:15] Thornsberry: install language support [08:15] MontoyaC: (for the online upgrade, I mean) [08:16] Fyda: When I get back from my trip, sure [08:16] bazhang: ok, repositories under (settings>repositories) right? [08:16] MontoyaC: Haha, I have a CD album full of different distro discs :D [08:16] Any idea where I could get Pashto language support? [08:16] MontoyaC: get used to it :P [08:16] I'm just glad I have Ubuntu working on my old laptop, kudos to Ubuntu for that [08:16] NeT_DeMoN: yes [08:16] !phasto [08:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about phasto - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:16] me personally I got tired of having to restart Windows every time I tried to do anything [08:16] !pashto [08:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about pashto - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:16] MontoyaC: It's always fun to try something new. And hey, a live CD can be useful for emergency rescue [08:17] MontoyaC: Seems as if FF is eating 375MB RAM. [08:17] and I've used Linux on again off again for about 4 years now [08:17] Thornsberry, google maybe [08:17] CroX: That's so typical of FF, how many tabs do you have open? Any JS running? [08:17] CroX, HOw much ram do you have on your system again? [08:17] 1024MB [08:17] wow, no language pack for pashto [08:17] Six tabs open. No running JS that I know of. [08:17] bazhang: can you give me kind of like a walkthrough? [08:17] CroX, theres a few ways to reduce that so i would google for the right things to do. it is a mem hog. or you could use a different browser [08:18] CroX, As said above FF does that alot :D . Out of curiosity do tyou have a service called trackerd in there? [08:18] I've used Fedora Core 2, CentOS, Redhat 9, and briefly used Gentoo. So far I'm liking Gutsy... [08:18] CroX: I remember when that was a lot -.- [08:18] I'm new. [08:18] CroX: Firefox has memory leaks .. if you leave it open for several days it'll start eating a lot of memory. [08:18] DarkW0lf: I've used Redhat. I wouldn't put anything other than ubuntu on my machines. So simple [08:18] Thornsberry, try msttcorefonts [08:18] wasme: I just now opened it! :O [08:18] wasme, moar like a day [08:18] DarkW0lf: Well, Ubuntu and Vista :-) [08:18] Filled-void: You mean an addon for FF? [08:19] Does anyone here know how to compile the debian installer? [08:19] MontoyaC: I've had trouble with older versions of Ubuntu [08:19] Thornsberry: is pashto an Arabic language? [08:19] Thornsberry, also make sure Arabic is installed [08:19] CroX, No a service calld trackerd in your system monitor its known to benotorious for eatign up memory sometimes :x [08:19] recently I had... 7.04 which didn't have WPA support for wireless [08:19] DarkW0lf: I've only gotten into it recently. I've had trouble with the amd64 versions [08:19] mm anyone here has a samsung printer ? [08:19] Thornsberry, perhaps "ttf-kacst" [08:19] and I couldn't install nVidia updates cause it screwed up with Gnome [08:20] bazhang: what all do i click in the repositories? [08:20] It seems that I have trackerd running. [08:20] I think that's what my trouble was. it was a 64bit version [08:20] DarkW0lf: I was on here yesterday trying to get 7.10 working with my ethernet card... had to install 7.04 instead [08:20] there's probably not enough support of 64bit yet... [08:20] I found a Pashto language pack and tried to install it and got an error saying "Dependency is not satisfiable" what does that mean? [08:20] NeT_DeMoN: did you enable the partner repositories? then hit reload? then search for compiz--that should come up with compizconfig-settings-manager and compiz-gnome both of which you want [08:20] the only thing i don't like about 64bit is lack of firefox plugins. [08:20] DarkW0lf: The whole industry sucks at 64 bit support. It's sad [08:20] although... Gentoo AMD64 LiveCD installed rather seamlessly [08:20] bazhang: ok [08:20] Thornsberry: where did you find it? in the repositories? [08:21] having to run 32bit firefox to have plugins is, well, lame. === chetnick is now known as chetnick|A [08:21] however I was in the dark ages for a while (Student with no internet for a year... Woe is me... :P ) and couldn't get updates [08:21] Thornsberry: are you using apt-get? [08:21] bazhang: where do i enable the partner repositories at? [08:21] that was... 2006.0 iirc [08:21] I don't know how to use apt-get. [08:21] DarkW0lf: Seriously, that story makes me cry. No Internet for a year? That's horrible [08:21] bazhang: i dont see where it says anything with "partner" in it [08:21] This is my second day having Linux so I'm still trying to learn how to do everything. === chetnick|A is now known as chetnick [08:21] NeT_DeMoN: in the repositories settings--take a look around on the various tabs [08:22] bazhang:ok [08:22] I got the language pack from packages.ubuntu.com [08:22] MontoyaC: I survived... whether I survived with my sanity is another thing :P [08:22] then again I never claimed to be sane so meh :P [08:22] Thornsberry: which version of Ubuntu? 7.10? [08:22] I believe so. [08:22] Sigh Im having one of those connectivity days. What problems did you have with AMD64 MontoyaC [08:22] Yeah, I am. [08:23] Thornsberry: don't d/l packgaes manually like that. Ubuntu will fetch them and d/l them for you along with required depedencies [08:23] no amd64 just had graphics problems [08:23] bazhang: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu gusty partner? [08:23] Thornsberry: what is the default language? English? [08:23] NeT_DeMoN: yes [08:23] it was i386 gutsy that had connectivity problems... didn't like the broadcom drivers [08:23] MontoyaC, Laptop install? [08:23] bazhag: its been enabled [08:23] Thornsberry: The easiest way to do this would be to run synaptic .. .I'm not sure if it's installed by default however? [08:23] bazhang^^ [08:23] Filled-void: Yes, this most recent beast of mine. Old laptop too. [08:24] MontoyaC: is that Ubuntu 64 bit problems? [08:24] Yeah, the default language is English. [08:24] search for those packages by searching for compiz in the search field now NeT_DeMoN [08:24] MontoyaC, Thers an article about settign up Gutsy for speed if you dare to try it . Its pretty interesting [08:24] hi [08:24] Thornsberry: go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager [08:24] bazhang: ok [08:24] DarkW0lf: I don't have the 64 bit installed anymore. Not worth it. [08:24] where can i find the alternate cd for i386? [08:24] Filled-void: Link? [08:24] Okay, I'm there. [08:24] the problem I also had with 7.04 was no WPA support for wireless [08:24] MontoyaC, 1 sec [08:24] !alternate [08:24] The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [08:24] Thornsberry: if Synaptic Package Manager isn't listed then I'll tell you how to install it [08:24] it only had WEP support [08:24] It's there. [08:24] I have it open. [08:24] wasme, I just searched synaptic no pashto [08:25] bazhang, im looking on cdimages.ubuntu.com.. i can find the i386 dvd and alternate cds for others platforms [08:25] bazhang: ok, what all do i install?? [08:25] but not the alternate cd for i386 [08:25] MontoyaC, http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/10/20/howto-set-up-gutsy-for-speed/ read it first before trying anything [08:25] wasme, maybe my bad spelling :) [08:25] you may want to try Ubuntu Muslim Edition Thornsberry, or reinstall and choose pashto as the default language [08:26] Filled-void: Thanks! [08:26] Well I don't want Pashto as the default language because I'm not that fluent in it yet. [08:26] ThornsBerry: ok, what's the name of the package you d/l'ed earlier? [08:26] MontoyaC, Yw [08:26] It was language-pack-ps [08:26] NeT_DeMoN: oy. ever heard of scrolling up? compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-gnome [08:26] hello, someone know how can i set my sound manager PCM lineal, not logarith [08:26] bazhang: yeah, my bad, you from australia??? [08:26] And Pashto wasn't even on the list of default languages, I checked. [08:26] Thornsberry: ok, click on the search button and type that in [08:27] hrm [08:27] something very odd happened out of the blue with my keymapping in gnome, the key is "reversed" in the sense that to get type the regular characters I have to press . Any suggestions of how to fix that? [08:27] Thornsberry: it's listed as pushto in the repositories [08:27] ok, its on this here mirror, just not on cdimages.ubuntu.com [08:27] Oh. [08:27] I guess it depends who you talk to and how they pronounce it. [08:28] no wonder I could not find it :)) [08:28] Thornsberry: sudo apt-get install language-pack-ps language-pack-ps-base in the terminal [08:28] what is the 'dreamweaver' for linux? [08:28] pepsi_, on this here mirror? Y'all come back now, y'hear? [08:28] heh [08:28] Thornsberry: you can then select it to install from there ... but reading the description in synaptic you probably also want to install language-support-ps [08:28] pepsi_, sorry, couldn't resist. :) [08:28] arooni: Aptana or Screem [08:28] can anyone help with a broken package manager? === GazzaK is now known as Gary [08:29] s'aright.. i like saying "this here".. and "who now" and "what now" when asking who and what someone is talking about :D [08:29] How do I install in through synaptic? [08:29] ok question. Is there any anti-aliasing stuff in Compiz Fusion? [08:29] I tried the sudo apt-get install and it didn't work. [08:29] It said permission denied. [08:29] And asked, "are you root?" [08:30] Thornsberry: Do you have synaptic open somewhere else? [08:30] do sudo [08:30] language-pack-gnome-ps-base language-pack-gnome-ps also Thornsberry [08:30] Thornsberry: right click on the package you want installed in the upper right pane and select 'Mark for Installation' [08:30] Thornsberry, it is sudo apt-get [08:30] Thornsberry: then click the 'apply' button on the button bar [08:30] Thornsberry: first close synaptic :} [08:30] I tried closing it and it said the same thing. [08:31] Thornsberry: What exactly is the error? [08:31] bazhang: what all do i do now? [08:31] arooni, For further alternatives you can check http://linuxappfinder.com/alternatives also [08:31] bazhang: i installed all the things you told me to [08:31] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) [08:31] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [08:32] Thornsberry: uh, you were asked for your password before running synaptic right? [08:32] NeT_DeMoN: did you find them? then install them, and then open the ccsm (the new thing you installed) and set some choices up [08:32] Thornsberry: and you have no other update-manager, add/remove, synaptic, aptitude, etc open? [08:32] Yes I was. [08:32] Thornsberry: Close everything except this and terminal [08:32] Thornsberry, Close all windows open other than your IRC client and then run sudo apt-get install on the package [08:33] bazhang: i havent opened ccsm yet, hold up [08:33] It still says the same thing. Could something be running in the background? [08:33] hmmm [08:34] Thornsberry: I would restart... that happened to me once. [08:34] bazhang: open ccsm through the synaptic package manager? [08:34] NeT_DeMoN: then check the key bindings for the things you want to run (key combos), type alt-f2, and in that box type compiz --replace if you have your video drivers properly installed you'll be able to get the 3d cube etc, if not, back to square one [08:34] Thornsberry: In a terminal, what is the output of "ps x | grep apt"? [08:34] I had just restarted before I joined. [08:35] NeT_DeMoN: no, should be in settings--advanced desktop effects manager [08:35] <\`slushpuppy`\> !gnome [08:35] gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [08:35] bazhang: ok, thanks [08:35] It is at 6334 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep apt [08:35] NeT_DeMoN, Alsomake sure you set one of those boxes to 4 otherwise you dont get the cube :x Not sure which box it was will check in a second [08:35] !aptfix | Thornsberry [08:35] Thornsberry: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [08:35] thanks for your help everyone. I have a plane to catch! [08:35] bye montoyac [08:37] bazhang: Okay I did that now try the apt-get install again? [08:37] as Filled-void says NeT_DeMoN make sure to check in general settings (inside ccsm) horizontal virtual desktops is set to four [08:37] Thornsberry: you did both of those commands? there are two there [08:37] bazhang: ok [08:38] Thornsberry: the second command is sudo dpkg --configure -a [08:39] ON the sudo dpkg --configure -a it tells me that the operation requires superuser privilege. [08:39] bazhang: when i ran compiz through run, it just flashed the screen [08:39] bazhang: was that supposed to happen? [08:39] Thornsberry: don't forget the sudo and then your password when it prompts you for it [08:39] NeT_DeMoN: yes [08:39] bazhang, NeT_DeMoN, Filled-void: Actually, the number of viewports can also be configured via the Workspace Switcher in the GNOME panel (it now also handles Compiz's horiz and vert size). [08:40] Fyda: thanks for that! [08:40] bazhang: (In Gutsy, anyway :P) [08:40] hehe [08:40] fyda: gnome panel?? [08:41] the taskbar NeT_DeMoN [08:41] bazhang: (Seems to be non-standard in GNOME though -- I'm looking at non-Ubuntu GNOME and it doesn't have that.) [08:41] It doesn't ask for my password whenever I type it in. [08:41] bazhang: oh, ok [08:41] Fyda: same here (kde) :} [08:41] Thornsberry: with the sudo prepended? [08:42] Thornsberry, it remembers the password for some period of time, several minutes by default. [08:42] I just typed the second command and it didn't do anything this time. [08:42] * bazhang realizes that kde is really non-standard gnome [08:42] i must not have my video card done right because i dont have the 3-D effect or is there something else i have to do for that? [08:43] So what should I try now? [08:43] bazhang: you did say compiz would do that right? [08:43] how do I edit my conkyrc file? [08:43] ogre [08:43] NeT_DeMoN, Go to the terminal and type glxinfo :grep endering (No theres no R) [08:43] chetnick: yes? [08:44] glxinfo | grep endering ^ [08:44] bazhang: Any idea? [08:44] anyone no what this shit is for [08:44] ogre: zcat /usr/share/doc/conky/examples/conkyrc.sample.gz > ~/.conkyrc [08:45] ogre: and than vi .conkyrc [08:45] filled-void: ok, how should i type it, like "glxinfo" then "grep endering" or all together?? [08:45] NeT_DeMoN: try some key combos that you have checked plugins for [08:45] or pico conkyrc [08:45] chetnick: thanks [08:45] bazhang: ok [08:45] NeT_DeMoN, Copy the command :) [08:45] filled-void: ok [08:45] Thornsberry: that should be ok then--try to install the packages now [08:45] ogre here is nice tutorial for conky http://www.howtoforge.com/conky_system_monitor_on_ubuntu704 [08:46] can anyone help me with an amarok problem ive been having it keeps saying it needs the right demux [08:46] Thornsberry: for future reference--you can search for packages in the terminal with apt-cache search packagename [08:46] what do i need to backup before installing the proprietary nvidia driver? [08:46] dave please watch your language :} [08:46] andruk: i think xorg.cofn [08:46] sorry [08:46] xorg.conf* [08:47] andruk: you might want to backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:47] im just so frustrated with amarok [08:47] dave_: for doing what? play mp3? [08:47] wasme: is that it? [08:47] dave_ can you copy the error massage here ? [08:47] NeT_DeMoN, What did it say? [08:47] hold on [08:47] bazhang: Okay, it installed the three of them, now do I need to restart? [08:47] andruk: I think so. At least nothing else comes to mind that should be modified. [08:47] I'm still under Hoary [08:48] and my python2.4-dev won't install [08:48] filled-void: it said it was yes to the direct rendering [08:48] did you know that Internet Exploarer as 85% of the market ? and there are other good browser that can be used [08:48] Thornsberry: should be four [08:48] wasme: thx [08:48] Okay, I got it. [08:48] earlier it kept saying it couldnt play the radio streams due to not having demux handlers [08:48] Thornsberry: logging out and back in should do it iirc [08:48] filled-void: welcome back by the way and thanks for your help [08:48] does the alt+f2 shortcut work in Kubuntu as it does in Gnome? [08:49] Alright. [08:49] dave_: shoutcast? or other please specify [08:49] compwiz18: yes [08:49] bazhang: thanks [08:49] bazhang: thanks for your help. [08:49] compwiz18, yes [08:49] NeT_DeMoN, When you said you dont have 3d . What error did you get. Im having a bad connectivity day :/ [08:49] no worries [08:49] python2.4-dev says it depends on python2.4, but there is no python2.4. Python 2.4 files are, however, installed on my system, but not from a package called "python2.4". [08:49] shoutcast and everything, amarok wont even come on now when i press the icon nothing happens [08:49] in fact, dpkg -s 'file in some python2.4 place' doesn't find a package [08:50] can I force-install python2.4-dev from aptitude? [08:50] filled-void: i can see but what do you mean? [08:50] dave_: is this gutsy? [08:50] NeT_DeMoN, Is there a certain error you get when you try to view the cube? [08:50] #apache-modules [08:50] yes [08:50] bazhang: Nothing changed. [08:50] hi there [08:51] jaggz-, yes, there are flags to force it to install and ignore dependencies. [08:51] dave_: try launching amarok from the terminal--see what error message comes up [08:51] hmm that's interesting [08:51] it wont work with gutsy ubuntu,kubutu,or edubuntu [08:51] filled-void: i have the cube but i dont know how to view it [08:51] bazhang: it is still in two different fonts. [08:51] jaggz-, -f with apt-get, I believe [08:52] when I put my ms memory card into my card reader it immediately mounted it and even put an image to it so it was easy to find... [08:52] bazhang: Any other ideas that might help me fix it? [08:52] Thornsberry: hmm--perhaps there are fonts to install--or something to add to firefox; not much of a pushto/pashto reader myself so flying in the dark :} [08:52] dave_: sudo apt-get install amarok-engines amarok-xine libarts1-xine libxine1 libxine1-console libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-gnome libxine1-kde libxine1-plugins [08:52] bazhang: do you know of any other good music apps that provide some good music streams [08:52] and restart amarok [08:52] it should work [08:52] sethk, trying.. [08:53] python2.4-dev: Depends: python2.4 (= 2.4.1-0) but 2.4.1-0ubuntu0.2 is to be installed [08:53] dave_: exaile, rhythmbox, songbird (not sure about the last) [08:53] apt-get install python2.4 says: python2.4 is already the newest version. [08:53] bazhang: I instaled some fonts and it started showing the letters that it didn't have before but now it is more messed up than it was. [08:53] dave_: maybe first listen to chetnick and fix amarok :} [08:53] jaggz-, it that doesn't do it, you'll need to use dpkg === dean5 is now known as dedridge [08:54] jaggz-, it has --ignore-depends=python2.4.1-0 [08:54] NeT_DeMoN, Im assuming you enabled Rotate Cube from CCSM and then set the number of walls to 4 [08:54] Thornsberry: is this pushto only, or mixed arabic and pushto [08:55] filled-void: yeah [08:55] NeT_DeMoN, Further you have to set Appearance to Extra You want to do this first and then the other step above [08:55] bazhang: Well Pashto uses the Arabic script but has a few letters that are unique just to itself that it adds to the alphabet. [08:55] sethk, that's it.. hmm.. how do I download the packages from the default locations (I can just get them from web search if necessary) [08:55] filled-void: where do i do that at?? [08:55] NeT_DeMoN, If you did these what happesn when you press Ctrl + Shift + Left mouse button and drag it [08:56] NeT_DeMoN, Er not shift alt [08:56] Thornsberry: then you need to install the arabic language support as well--apt-cache search arabic will tell you which, or you can do it via synaptic [08:56] Net System > Preferences >Appearance [08:56] NeT_DeMoN, System > Preferences >Appearance [08:56] bazhang: Do you think that I might have to find the unicode font for Pashto and install that? [08:56] chetnick: do i put those commands in seperate or as one sudo command [08:56] like, apt-get download .. :) the -d (download only) option doesn't seem to work, but might if the dependencies didn't fail. [08:56] filled-void: ok [08:56] Is there a util that will search the filesystem for broken symlinks (and won't get trapped in recursive symlinks) [08:57] (that is, apt-get -d install python2.4-dev doesn't work either) [08:57] Thornsberry: perhaps, as well as installing the arabic language packs [08:57] sorry im new to the command line [08:57] bazhang: The Arabic works fine. [08:57] Wing, do you have one which gets trapped in recursive symlinks? :) [08:57] but not completely new [08:57] NeT_DeMoN, Now does pressing ctrl + alt +left mouse (drag the mouse while you do it) show a cube [08:57] bazhang: It's just a problem with the Pashto. [08:57] dave_: just copy what i wrote [08:57] how many windows haters are there in the channel? :P [08:57] dave_: sudo apt-get install amarok-engines amarok-xine libarts1-xine libxine1 libxine1-console libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-gnome libxine1-kde libxine1-plugins [08:57] don't be a hater [08:57] me [08:57] filled-void: when i did that, it took the cube away [08:57] starting with sudo [08:57] DarkW0lf: offtopic, but apparently at least one :} [08:57] jaggz- : No, just anticipating a dumb problem [08:57] NeT_DeMoN, So you get the cube? [08:57] and paste in the command line [08:58] i hate windows, love ubuntu and thank you chetnick [08:58] filled-void: i had the cube [08:58] NeT_DeMoN: it works? [08:58] NeT_DeMoN, gah I must have misunderstood [08:58] dave_: trouble with Amarok? [08:58] DarkW0lf: Hating is not necessary, and may not even be right, but it is still practised nonetheless. And that's all I'll say of that. [08:59] haha [08:59] bazhang: it did, just with out the 3-D effect [08:59] Reading package lists... Done [08:59] Building dependency tree [08:59] Reading state information... Done [08:59] amarok-xine is already the newest version. [08:59] amarok-xine set to manual installed. [08:59] libxine1 is already the newest version. [08:59] no 3D? [08:59] libxine1 set to manual installed. [08:59] cube without 3D? huh? [08:59] Package libxine1-kde is not available, but is referred to by another package. [08:59] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [08:59] is only available from another source [08:59] However the following packages replace it: [08:59] libxine1-plugins [08:59] E: Package libxine1-kde has no installation candidate [08:59] do more people have problems with inverted Function keys in gnome atter recent updates in 7.04? [08:59] Wing, hopefully a developer of such an app has kept that in mind.. but i can imagine a simple script not handling it. :) [08:59] bazhang: yeah, like your talking about with the zoom out right?? [08:59] I got Amarok to install easily in Gnome [09:00] it seems like its not recognizing amarok [09:00] well it seems to be running fine anyway... [09:00] are there any apps that are designed for KDE that dont work in Gnome, and vice versa? Just curious [09:00] JDahl: inverted function keys? [09:01] NeT_DeMoN: there are a ton of effects to play with--you need to enable them in ccsm and then find the correct keybindings for each and try them out--I would recommend the scale effect [09:01] poeticrpm: almost all of them [09:01] JDahl: in 7.04? [09:01] poeticrpm: there are some that may struggle [09:01] when i click on the amarok icon it just does nothing [09:01] but most should be fine [09:01] bazhang: ok [09:01] every time i reboot my window selection rules are reset, i want them to not raise when the mouse is over them [09:01] jaggz-: If there's one thing working in software has taught me, it's that most developers can't tell their arse from a paper bag. [09:01] dave_: try launching it from the terminal and see what the error messages are [09:02] if any of the Ubuntu dev people here this someone make an easy way to install from an usb thumb strike. That could be very useful . best reason is You could add changs to the install files on the usb thumb strike and thus make the install better or different as you see fit. Plus USB thumb drives are getting bigger all the time something to think of for the future . Plus great job on the windows installer for Ubuntu great idea [09:02] how [09:02] DarkW0lf: yes, to type regular characters I have to press the key on my laptop [09:02] dave_: reinstall amarok, type sudo-apt get remove amarok, and than [09:02] bazhang: it just says scale right? [09:02] dave_: sudo apt-get install amarok-engines amarok-xine libarts1-xine libxine1 libxine1-console libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-gnome libxine1-kde libxine1-plugins [09:02] yeah, I know there is some bugs, but i was under they all worked to some extent.. ive never had problems, although I stick mostly to one or the other DE [09:02] ups [09:02] how do i open my conkyrc up in gedit? [09:02] mistake :) [09:02] tarelerulz: pendrivelinux.com has the answer [09:02] after switching over to the proprietary graphics driver (nvidia) and rebooting, my comp froze on login, and ctrl+alt+F1 didnt do anything. where do i go from here? [09:02] does anyone know what peerguardian equivalent would be for linux? [09:02] and than [09:02] bazhang: yes [09:02] dave_: sudo apt-get install amarok amarok-engines amarok-xine libarts1-xine libxine1 libxine1-console libxine1-ffmpeg libxine1-gnome libxine1-kde libxine1-plugins [09:02] chetnick: could synaptic Package Manager be easier to install Amarok? [09:02] moblock? [09:02] gedit /home/user/.conkyrc [09:03] mattycoze: moblock [09:03] or Add/Remove? [09:03] DarkW0lf: it might be i dont know [09:03] i solved my problem [09:03] like this [09:03] Bazhang you sure you understand what I am talking about. I don't install to a USB thumbstick ,but from one ? us it like you would a live cd . [09:03] andruk yeah i had moblock a while ago, but couldn't find much information about it [09:03] ogre, that work?

[09:06] sorry [09:06] wont do it again [09:06] hey guys, my CD won't automount (but I can mount it manually). where should I start looking to debug this? === Learning-Ubuntu is now known as Filled-void [09:06] mosno:lol [09:06] poeticrpm: so ahh i got it. thanks alot :) [09:06] dave, its cool [09:07] try synaptic manager [09:07] ogre: no problem :) [09:07] you welcome ogre [09:07] ;) [09:07] what is its purpose though?

[09:07] dave_: If you can, try going to Applications > Add/Remove Applications [09:08] bazhang: lol [09:08] click on Sound & Video and click on Amarok from the list. Well that's how I did it anyway [09:08] chetnick: I told u thank you earlier ;P [09:08] amarok no longer has a x in its box [09:08] andruk any news about when they might ahve a frontend up for moblock? [09:08] rico, Probably a problem with HAL, try "sudo invoke-rc.d hal restart" [09:08] it SHOULD start a synaptic install [09:09] chetnick, whats a spitaru? [09:09] i like the windows preview, i thought after i got rid of vista i would never have it again :D [09:09] do a synaptic install [09:09] Bazhang , I did not mean not to read it .

I blocked web pages all which is very lame [09:09] andruk; is there a way to autoupdate the lists for moblock? [09:09] everyone should read this: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy [09:10] bazhang: great doc. [09:10] tarelerulz did you tell it to stop blocking port 80? [09:10] chetnick: so true [09:10] firefox waits for ages before loading the pages... my sister has the same laptop running xp and its way faster running internet explorer at loading pafes [09:10] i found 95% of the stuff that i needed there [09:10] I never read anything about how to use moblock . The site said nothing about that. You just thought you install it and it did the rest . [09:11] What is on port 80 ? just asking [09:11] revilodraw, Does it display local pages fast? Sounds like a DNS rather than rendering issue [09:11] i just did a synaptic install and amarok is still doing the same thing when i click on the icon it just does nothing [09:11] revilodraw: This is probably not the right place for this [09:11] mattycoze: i dont know, sorry [09:11] revilodraw disable IPv6? I think that might help however ou might want to confirm with someone [09:11] ok [09:11] dave_: try right clicking?

[09:14] You'd think though that a program that runs on KDE would be compatible with Kubuntu which runs KDE... [09:14] NeT_DeMoN: key combo = keybinding [09:14] I don't want to sound dumb if you install some Linux to a usb thumb drive ? I do you use that install to install Linux to a hard drive in computer. they are not made for use . They are made to run on the computer . I mean does the normal 7.10 ubuntu when you install it have the install some where on it ? [09:14] bazhang: ahhh [09:14] bazhang: ah, i'm running gentoo, so i don't have apt ;) just want to manually snatch the kernel and modules [09:14] NeT_DeMoN: by the way, the "Super" key is the windows key :P [09:15] !info source [09:15] Package source does not exist in gutsy [09:15] Ahri: Gentoo has emerge, no? [09:15] ugh [09:15] darkw0lf: i noticed [09:15] NeT_DeMoN: Just thought you'd might like to know :P [09:15] DarkW0lf: er yes. it doesn't have access to the ubuntu source repos...

There is different from have Ubuntu install on the usb thumb drive and have some installer on the usb thumb drive. So you can set the bios to boot from the usb thumb and use it to install Ubuntu to the hard drives in the computer is there not ? [09:21] is linux-wlan-gn a package?

[09:25] does anyone think konqueror is better than firefox i havent really had a chance to try it out [09:26] NeT_DeMoN: just say no [09:26] like... does it lock, or crash and burn? [09:26] notgod: might you have disabled JS : how to check that? [09:26] Is there a way to use a usb thumb drive as an installer like you would a cd ? [09:26] bazhang: lmao [09:26] haha [09:26] DarkW0lf: the water drops appear, but I cannot do anything except move the mouse cursor, and when I try to disable them, nothing happens [09:26] bazhang: Yeah, the problem was that the default font that is set in Firefox wasn't something that had the Pashto script in it. So I just changed the default font for Arabic to the Pashto font and now it works fine. [09:26] white_eagle: pressing shift-F9 does nothing? [09:26] Thornsberry: excellent news :} [09:27] chetnick: you set up your machine? Or did someone set it up for you? unless you specifically disabled it, it shoudl be enabled. [09:27] i set it up java scrpit should be enabled [09:27] bazhang: Thanks for you help. I don't think I would have solved the problem without it. [09:27] i didnt disable [09:27] bazhang: are you on here all the time, i was in here the other dat and saw you, i think you tried to help me but my connection was reset [09:27] Thornsberry: you did 90% of it :} [09:28] chetnick: just a stab in the dark, then. That's not the problem. sorry. :( [09:28] DarkW0lf: You miss understood me. When I press shift-F9 the drops APPEAR slowly, and my computer crashes, and I cannot disable them with the same command [09:28] NeT_DeMoN: too much it seems :} [09:28] bazhang:lol [09:28] notgod: :) [09:28] DarkW0lf: but I can move the mouse cursor [09:28] can some walk me through installing this cool conky script?

[09:28] n [09:29] no [09:29] can anyone suggest some good greasemonkey user scripts to install [09:29] it simply crashes [09:29] nothing else [09:29] should i use envy to install proprietary drivers if the restricted-drivers-manager has failed? [09:29] dave_: for what purpose? [09:29] ogre: still didnt install conky? [09:29] what does grease mokey do, i have it, just dont know what to do with it [09:29] My server has a hardwarefaliur and shuts down now and then, I have configured bios to make ut rebot automaticly, now I just need it to do a dhcp request when its running again, any sugestions?

[09:30] well most of them that ive found seem to be minor im looking for some really good changes to google,lifehacker,or just any major site [09:30] Hey I've got a general linux question: How do you change the font in the terminal windows [09:30] i basically just download everything for my browsers [09:30] write a script that checks the interface and then run dhclient if its down? and put it in cron? [09:30] anyone? [09:30] I'll try the effects now, If I leave, that means i rebooted my computer [09:30] now Terminal, but the ctrl-alt-F1 terminal screens [09:30] apt-get reinstall? [09:31] how to make my server run a dhcp request on boot? [09:31] NeT_DeMoN: seriously, though, if you don't need it, remove it. It's got a very specific and creepy purpose, imho. [09:31] ogre copy this conf file http://www.howtoforge.com/conky_system_monitor_on_ubuntu704 and if you have black backgorund i sugest to change black to white in conf file [09:31] andruk: some people report success with it--just letting you know that the ubuntu gods (and ops) frown on that [09:31] *Not Terminal [09:31] oh yes I also have a question reguarding DHCP [09:31] how to use Gfax i need man [09:31] does cron run a script with root privilage? [09:31] notgod: what is its purpose, i might want it, i just dont know what it does, if i need to learn how to use it, i'll google it :P === damien_ is now known as polywaffle [09:32] bazhang: okay, thanks. [09:32] every time I restart Ubuntu, even loging out, my IP address gets released. How do I set it up to do a DHCP request every time I restart? [09:32] andruk: and dont mention automatix :} [09:32] or any STYLISH user scripts for google [09:32] notgod: or ask bazhang, he seems to know everything about ubuntu [09:32] is ther enayone that can help? [09:32] DarkW0lf: same question as me then.. [09:33] I'm experiencing my machine becoming rather sluggish...using Nvidia restricted drivers and I have a beefy machine - Due to running compiz/avant/conky together? [09:33] bazhang: lol, ive done that before...never again... i heard that they were working towards compatibility? [09:33] you can change the font in the terminal? [09:33] chetnick: I have it running already. I just want to change it to look like this conky http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=70929&forumpage=0 its more than just a txt file its several files and .sh scripts I just need to know how to set that 1 up [09:33] like different colors? [09:33] or just style? [09:33] I'm in a bit if a panic situatuon here, my server is even running on UPS power, I can't aford it not to be online, really need a quck fix for this [09:33] How do I configure my ubuntu 7.10 machine to only come up in a non-graphical way? I know how to do this under RHEL, I set the /etc/inittab to runlevel 3 [09:33] there is a way to change colours in Runlevel 3... [09:33] Xer0: Eye candy never helps performance. [09:33] andruk: I heard that too--I'm agnostic on envy--just letting you know on the general reaction youll get if you mention here during daylight hours :} [09:34] lol [09:34] nabcore: Probably the same way [09:34] see, I had to restart my x session, like you said, no reboot was required [09:34] any one know the purpose for grease monkey though? [09:34] <|_ocke> should i install adobe flash or gnash? opinions [09:34] although the pc stopped responding [09:34] for some reason i just love to tweak my computer,my os's,websites, but i spend so little time actually on the web its weird i just love tweaking stuff. I going to school for computer and electronics engineering [09:34] gnash [09:34] <|_ocke> im concerned more with speed and compatibility than not having proprietary software [09:34] <|_ocke> is gnash better technically? [09:34] At me It is faster [09:35] Does cron run as root? [09:35] chetnick: any idea how to do it? [09:35] I don't know for the others [09:35] |_ocke: faster but sometimes problematic [09:35] anyone been on firefox 3 yet or gran paridiso or whatever its called [09:35] bazhang: envy seems to be fairly nice... any idea why the godz dont like it (besides supporting somebody else's software)? [09:35] |_ocke: gnash doesn't work half the damn time. Adobe flash works fine. [09:35] <|_ocke> are there a lot of problems with it? or just a few? [09:35] my sister's dell inspiron 6400 running xp is waaayy louder than mine running ubuntu... and yes everything is on max [09:35] *Unless you're on 64bit. And then Adobe Flash becomes just as big a thorn as Gnash [09:35] andruk: because then people here would have nothing to do? [09:35] <|_ocke> this computer performs pretty darn well so i dont think slow is much of an issue [09:36] Wing: Even with beefy video card/etc? I see no evidence in top/conky that x.org is eating resources [09:36] <|_ocke> i ahve a 64 bit celeron 420 processor [09:36] <|_ocke> i ahve 32 bit ubuntu installed though [09:36] <|_ocke> could i install 64bit ubuntu on it? [09:36] sure [09:36] bazhang: lol, ah, i see [09:36] |_ocke: having problems in firefox with flash? [09:36] seriously, any one know the purpose of grease mankey [09:36] monkey^^ [09:36] to be uninstalled? [09:36] Xer0: Try shutting them off and see what the difference is. That's the easiest place to start before you start hunting down more obscure issues. [09:36] <|_ocke> DarkW0lf, no, i havent decided which to install yet [09:36] andruk: that is not the official reason of course haha [09:36] <|_ocke> this is a fresh 7.10 install on a computer i just bought earlier today [09:36] ok this is what I did: I firstly installed the plugins it told me: Flash_Nonfree and Gnash [09:36] I'm using Ubuntu 7.10. And I can't enable Visual Efects.. why?! [09:37] just to do minor changes to code, i dont think it s all that really [09:37] kk, gracias wing [09:37] then I went and got the latest version from the adobe site [09:37] hang on a sec while I get the URL for it [09:37] <|_ocke> i'm going to see how long I can have it running without restarting since the very first time it was booted [09:37] what happend to the "ubuntu" emblem that was on the cube from 7.04 [09:37] i miss that [09:37] <|_ocke> i'm on the first boot since install still now [09:37] bazhang: true, but official reasons are rarely the most compelling, imho...but just for kicks...what are the official reason, if you dont mind? [09:37] gave it more style [09:37] |_ocke: You *COULD* do 64bit, but if you feel the need to deal with any variety of proprietary software, 64bit is the biggest hassle in the entire world. [09:37] later and thanks everyone for your help [09:38] URL: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&ogn=EN_US-gntray_dl_getflashplayer [09:38] blood_killer: try in appearance setting it to either basic or advanced/custom, then installing compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-gnome [09:38] My monitor runs at 1200X900 or something, and works fine, but when I try to set it to anything lower, or any program that changes the res, all I get is a garbled bunch of diagonal line things.

I still have issues with flash on mozilla [09:38] !envy | andruk [09:38] andruk: envy is not needed or supported.

[09:41] NeT_DeMoN, are you on a laptop? [09:41] any way to return firefox to default preferences in about:config [09:41] Xer0: yeah [09:41] the same one that does it [09:41] NeT_DeMoN, when it goes out, can you re-raise it by using the function key? [09:41] its the only computer i got till i bhave my new one built [09:41] Xer0: no [09:41] NeT_DeMoN: could it be a weird standby thing for the screen? [09:42] it completley kills the backlight? [09:42] i was told it might be a virus thats effecting my fan and the light goes out because its hot [09:42] Xer0:yeah [09:42] a virus in ubuntu? unlikely. [09:42] Download done.

[09:44] wing: lmao, ok [09:44] sorry twiztr what was your question? [09:44] My monitor runs at 1200X900 or something, and works fine, but when I try to set it to anything lower, or any program that changes the res, all I get is a garbled bunch of diagonal line things.

[09:49] NeT_DeMoN, that shudnt be ubuntu support now :S [09:49] he likely does not know that one [09:49] ok [09:50] damn [09:50] NeT_DeMoN, /msg ubotu , most things won't work though, it's kind of an interactive FAQ, nothing more :) [09:50] http://diveintogreasemonkey.org/install/greasemonkey.html [09:50] NeT_DeMoN, You can ask us though :) [09:50] ok, what is grease mankeys purpose [09:50] monkeys^^ [09:50] NeT_DeMoN: see the link above [09:50] bazhang: ok [09:51] my connection is slow [09:51] I think the coolest thing again the water effect in Compiz Fusion is when I turn off the wiper, it leaves a line where it was :P [09:51] then gets rained onagain [09:51] i need to get my own internet instead of stealing my neighbors [09:51] holy crap that's cool! [09:52] NeT_DeMoN, It lets you customize certain pages with javascript, like adding new buttons / themes to gmail [09:52] I made it rain then rotated the cube with the mouse, the rain stays on the cube! [09:52] jordan_U_:ok, like maybe font colors to userplane chat rooms?? [09:52] please join #ubuntu-ohhtheshiny [09:53] and when I rotate it, the wiper blade can be seen on the other sides of the box in transperent mode going in the other direction... coolness! [09:53] i dont see the wiper blade [09:53] is there another thing i need to enable for that? [09:53] hit Shift F8 and you can see the effect of the blade [09:53] NeT_DeMoN, It's not visable by default [09:53] why is my faster laptop slower when browsing the internet than my sister's laptop? she uses xp... i have ipv6 disabled, [09:53] ok [09:53] Jordan_U: is there a way to make the blade visible? [09:53] revilodraw, Have you tried a saved page yet? [09:54] how can you make it visable? [09:54] any of you guys try to run the linux version of mugen? I can't seem to get it to detect game pads, one is an xbox 360 pad that i had to compile a driver for,the other is a psx2 pad with a radioshack usb adapter [09:54] Jordan_U: umm no.. so save a page and see if it loads quickly? === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [09:54] revilodraw, Yes [09:55] jordan_U: how do you make the wiper visable?? [09:55] Jordan_U: ok when i do that its fast [09:55] NeT_DeMoN, Don't know, I assume you have checked through ccsm already? [09:56] what does the cube gears do? [09:56] i have it enabled [09:56] dont see any gears [09:56] you need cube transparency on [09:57] revilodraw, As a test ( this has worked for myself and 3 others so far, no idea why it works / why there is a problem in the first page ) try using openDNS ( http://opendns.org ) [09:57] revilodraw, * first place [09:57] there's no way to make the blade visible I think [09:57] you just see the wiper effect, not the blade [09:58] Jordan_U: ok is it self-explanatory [09:58] wing: wheres that at, i dont see it [09:58] revilodraw, No, but there are instructions on that sire [09:58] revilodraw, * site :) [09:58] but cause I saw the wipers through the transparent cube they were going in opposite directions [09:58] Jordan_U: ok thanks [09:59] revilodraw: fixed your problem? [09:59] goodness gracious great balls of fire!!!!! [09:59] :P [09:59] NeT_DeMoN: Linux Nub :P [09:59] ok next question, anyone here try installing gutsy or feisty on a power pc mac? can't get it to work [09:59] DarkW0lf: not yet [09:59] lol [09:59] any ideas on how to get a wd my book to be recognized as a drive? [09:59] darkw0lf: sad thing is i am [09:59] revilodraw, Please tell me if that works, it's one of my "fixes that make no sense for bugs that by all logic can't exist" :) [10:00] just got it last month [10:00] IRCs are new to me too [10:00] im pleased though [10:00] revilodraw, The other has to do with an imac that I inherited from a company throwing it out, it had a label on it "enigmac" :) [10:00] I've been IRC'n since ought-one... :P [10:01] lol [10:02] how do i make the desktop transparent so i can see the gears? [10:02] I started using irc only after i started using ubuntu...though mostly i learn to fixmy own probs [10:02] if I have an output "/home/cherva/Desktop/file.cpp" can I grep the filename only ? [10:02] holy crap, i dont like the opacify [10:03] im a multi-tasker :P [10:03] cherva, Yes, but you would use 'sed' rather than grep [10:03] <|_ocke> i've been on irc since 1997 [10:03] I have a really nice compiz setup with all kinds of fancy effects and crap - across my 8 displays. [10:03] <|_ocke> actually, since 95 or 96 i believe [10:03] NeT_DeMoN_Noob: click on Desktop cube and go to the Transparent Cube tab [10:03] :P [10:03] The problem, though, is I never get to see it because I always have it buried in windows [10:03] <|_ocke> 96 at the altest because zophars domain wasnt online yet and that went online nov 96 === huff3r is now known as otis [10:04] oh hell [10:04] didnt see it there [10:04] in the Compiz Config Settings [10:04] lol [10:04] thanks darkw0lf [10:04] any ideas on how to get a wd my book to be recognized as a drive? [10:04] * DarkW0lf shoves a Dunce Cap on NeT_DeMoN [10:04] anybody know how i can kill my gui so i can install the proprietary nvidia driver (yes, i know its not supported and i should be using restricted-drivers-manager, the restricted-drivers-manager didnt work) [10:04] it worked once for me now its not recognizing it [10:04] hobojohn3, wd?

[10:07] andruk, np [10:07] I love the fact that in Linux pretty much any hardware can somehow work [10:08] NeT_DeMoN, You can put it out with a shortcut [10:08] i know [10:08] in Windows you have to search for drivers that may or may-not work [10:08] "Windows cannot find the drivers neccecary to run this device" "What? But... I got the damn CD!!!" [10:08] i just want to know if it will stay on all night so when my flatmate wakes up he sees it and freaked out :P [10:09] freakes^^ [10:09] freaks^^ [10:09] I think it does sort of go out [10:09] DarkW0lf: pls give me an example [10:09] wow i need to learn my grammar again :P [10:09] one way or another...linux just worx!

There are some great pranks you can play on those that don't :) [10:10] soz I'm on a trip as I'm a noob :P [10:10] once you've enabled it hold alt>super> Left mouse button [10:10] and write a message for your flatmate on the screen :P [10:11] jordan_U: no he doesnt ;) [10:11] i want to learn [10:11] clear the screen with alt>super+K [10:11] something scary [10:11] like redrum [10:11] none of those do anything [10:11] lol [10:11] with a backwards r [10:11] NeT_DeMoN, Like sshing in and having the computer talk to your victim, or for something more automated but harder to setup you can have it do something when it detects his ( or any ) bluetooth phone :) [10:11] what is button 1? [10:11] but then i havent gotten super to work thor sysrq [10:11] or anything but printscreeen [10:11] I want some nice christmassy snow on my desktop (gnome), but I don't want to lose the background. Can anyone help me make my house more festive? :) [10:12] windows key=super [10:12] like my blue tooth phone?

[10:12] Stwange: xsnow or something [10:12] like how do you do the bluetooth thing [10:12] Stwange: gnome-look.org has some nice stuff [10:12] NeT_DeMoN, If your bluetooth phone fits the description of "any bluetooth phone", then yes :) [10:12] mosno, "used to be" and "crappy" aren't my favourite words :) [10:13] that seems interestig [10:13] lol, ok [10:13] would an intel core 2 duo be considered a 64 bit processor? (I don't know which iso to get) [10:13] im stupid right now, not enough fags tonight [10:13] :P [10:13] ok, question 3, hopefully some help on this one, when i play a dvd playback is choppy....how might i fix or tune this, could be because my pc is using the cache too much? [10:13] mmkay.. yes [10:13] mmkay, Yes, but you should probably stick with 32 bit [10:13] mmkay, yes, but a i386 iso will also work fine [10:13] my movie player is jacked up too [10:13] why is that? [10:13] im running 64bit buntu on a core2duo [10:14] Zenerek: what program are you running? [10:14] no.. thats a thing of the past [10:14] 64bit runs awesome now [10:14] Zenerek: which video card?

[10:14] mosno, xsnow is great :) [10:14] NeT_DeMoN: BitTorrent [10:14] NeT_DeMoN, there is gtk-gnutella, and... limewire :) [10:14] don't freaking use LimeWire [10:14] darkw0lf: thanks [10:14] sit plays fine but when I try to drag to a specific spot of forward (with commands or the right key) or any type of time select funtion it jacks around [10:14] mostly restarting [10:14] any ideas on how to get a western digital my book to be recognized as a drive? [10:14] limewire is linux compatible?? [10:14] :| [10:15] NeT_DeMoN, But limewire is horrible, gtk-gnutella uses the same network [10:15] hobojohn3: what do you mean? [10:15] NeT_DeMoN: Frostwire [10:15] Frostwire is freeware and is better than limewire [10:15] NeT_DeMoN, It's java based, I think it may even be open source [10:15] thanks guys [10:15] the harddrive in the cumputer you want to make work? [10:15] or as in, on another computer? [10:15] can some one hook me up with a link?

Now i have switched to gusty, the same modem does not work properly under gusty. The modem does not require any specific drivers and is connected to serial port of my pc.

[10:27] it is bit torrent right?? [10:27] NeT_DeMoN: you said you installed a bittorrent client. that client's package has a name. what name? [10:27] the file downloading program? [10:27] idk but it has worked on this comp before and i right click it and click mount [10:27] hobojohn3: pastbein your fstab [10:27] huh? [10:27] im not sure, how would i check??

[10:28] hobojohn3 the keyring daemon(i think) is supposed to handle your devices so that when you put em in they get auto mounted to the media folder in root, your gonna have to make a folder somewhere and mount it mnaually [10:29] im downloading stuff right now so i cant check [10:29] zenerek how do i do that? [10:29] wols_: well it works fine under windows, and it does connect sometimes under gusty too. but then it behave strangely (only under gusty). i am just wondering if here are any modem init strings that I can use or tune as I can do in windows, dont know how to do that in Ubuntu:( [10:29] it was under the add/remove programs tab under applications though [10:29] Zenerek: huh? keyring? what have passwords and certs to do with mounting? [10:29] the only one that i saw [10:29] ghatak: strangely HOW? [10:29] my screen just blacked out [10:29] later guys [10:29] ghatak: you can use the same strings as on windows since it's the same device... [10:30] thanks for the help === mez is now known as Mez [10:30] ok time to test my changes to the DHCP settings... [10:30] wish me luck [10:30] wols_ that is why i said i think [10:30] how do i mount a drive manually [10:30] Zenerek: most like the thing it uses is gnome volume manager [10:30] help i cant run firefox-i get a alert that says could not initialize the browser's security component the most likely cause is problems with files in your browsers profile directory , please check that this directory has no read/write restictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. PLEASE ANYONE PLEASE HELP!!!! [10:30] wols_: the modem intiates, and then does not detect tone and hangs up, this only happens in gusty, never in windows. [10:31] hobojohn3: as I told you: with mount. I am still watiing for the contents of your fstab file [10:31] what is fstab? [10:31] and how do i do it [10:31] ghatak: there are settings for hayes modems not to wait for the dialtone [10:31] hobojohn3: /etc/fstab [10:31] oh [10:32] hobojohn3: what i do know is that they are supposed to be mounted to media, fstab is a file in /etc that tells ubuntu what devies to mount and where [10:32] ghatak: the same AT commands as in windows will work in gutsy [10:32] help i cant run firefox-i get a alert that says could not initialize the browser's security component the most likely cause is problems with files in your browsers profile directory , please check that this directory has no read/write restictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full.

[10:33] twiztr: /etc/fstab usually [10:33] hobojohn3: open a terminal and type man mount you will get a man file on how to use the mount command [10:33] WHERE DO I CHECK MY DIRECTORY FOR READ/WRITE RESTRICTIONS AND WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Does it actually mount it when you log on too? [10:34] #humor-impaired [10:34] hi what is the option i shlould put instead of "?" in "cat 1.avi|mplayer -?" [10:34] wols_: right, i will have a look, i will have to reboot because i am in windows, however my understanding is that ppp would be active after the modem has negotiated (layer1) connection with the other side [10:34] twiztr: it mounts when you start [10:35] ghatak: for modems, ppp dials too [10:35] wols_: fair enough, i will dig for it [10:35] ghatak: as a workaround, install the driver from fs-driver.org and access the directory from windows [10:35] Jordan_U: hi, i am back my router was playing up... was that site, www.opendns.org? [10:35] revilodraw, Yes [10:36] wols_, chattr +i doesn't work wtih dhclient eth0 [10:37] hello - I just installed GraphViz with the package mgr, but where is it? [10:37] Jordan_U: for a bit of trivia, that page took 27seconds to load.. i am on 1.5mbps internet (australia) [10:37] i was in the middle of restarting firefox with a bunch of add ons that i needed because i just started using ubuntu and firefox had no extentions then i went to reset and it said the alert [10:37] wols_: yea, thanks for that, however i found that if you access ext3 with that, then there are occaianal super block errors on fsck [10:37] that man page didnt help much wols_ [10:37] im too noob [10:37] I looked in usr/bin [10:37] revilodraw, Sounds like the problem I have [10:38] revilodraw, ( which using openDNS fixes ) [10:38] Jordan_U: ok.. when i download a file i get really good speeds.. eg 160kbps [10:38] heh sweet [10:38] anyone know of a way to configure my network and have it work through cases where eth0 and eth1 get swapped? [10:38] !fsck [10:38] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

[11:51] Wait i'll rehprase the question [11:51] revilodraw, Just info about what domains you go to, and otherwise it would be still going to your ISP's DNS server [11:52] revilodraw, If you are doing something that really needs anonymity ( and is not high bandwidth ) use tor [11:53] I also have another question. When Installing ubuntu when I setup my harddrive so I still have my Windows Partition I never put a Swap for Ubuntu Linux [11:53] I've installed a acetoneiso2 Debian package. When I try to run it, it works like a charm. But when I try to mount an iso it gives the following error -> "error, could not mount image" Possible sulotion activiate Fuse, but when I try to do activate fuse, I can't because the folder I need to do a chmod command on isn't there [11:53] can that be a issue? [11:53] you still have to encrypt your connection to anther server (like using https) if you use Tor to stay realy anonymous (end servers can grab unecrypted tor data) [11:53] Jordan_U: i dont need high anonymity, just dont like sending info such as ebay transactions ie credit cards etc [11:53] Liquidfire-: you're using a gui to mount an iso? [11:53] Jordan_U: what is tor anyway? [11:54] Help me please anyone [11:54] kyle_: [11:54] yea [11:54] acetoneiso [11:54] yeesh just mkdir /mnt/somethingshorterthanthis and mount file /mnt/whatever -o loop [11:54] revilodraw: you are not sending that information. opendns is for DNS only. [11:54] alright [11:54] dave81: what is your question [11:54] tor is like a p2p network that tries to hide your IP [11:54] kyle_: i'm still used to the GUI stuff, so I don't know alot about bash yet [11:55] fyresrtr; ok thanks [11:55] oh, well uh I guess you'll want to sudo both those commands [11:55] k [11:55] smb://IPaddress will display folders but say contents can't be displayed. any help? [11:56] how do i install a file into the bash [11:56] bazhang: i need to set up my tv as a second screen [11:56] revilodraw: your computer is broadcasting an IP!

[11:56] revilodraw, That information is not sent to DNS servers, literally all that is sent to a DNS server is that you are trying to go to "google.com" and all that is sent back is "64.233.187.99" which you then connect to and actually do transfers with [11:57] dave81: and the question is? :} [11:57] what is the best output for mplayer with ATI fglrx? [11:57] how can i do that? [11:57] Tyczek: start with xv [11:57] dave81: you have tv out? what card? [11:57] what is xserver-xgl? [11:57] I use OpenDNS, All it does is translate a domain name to the IP address, for example: if I put http://www.whateverwebstite.com into my browser opendns grabs that and sends the browser to ###.##.##.# [11:57] kyle_: I haave problem with that [11:57] Hello folks [11:58] revilodraw, And banks / paypal should all have security setup such that it doesn't matter if there is some creepy guy tapping your DSL, they would not be able to get that info [11:58] kyle_: , it says specifiy file system tiype [11:58] type [11:58] :F [11:58] kyle_: On full screen the image quality is really bad [11:58] Having some trouble getting the restricted firmware on my wireless card to cooperate [11:58] nivida gforce card i had it set up on windows but cant get it up and running on ubuntu [11:58] otherwise GL- looks good but it's freezing and skipping [11:58] revilodraw, But again, that is not even the case with DNS servers [11:58] dave81, did you ran the restricted drivers thingy?
