[01:11] what are you trying to ping Benalex [01:11] synaptic doesnt do the job [01:11] Benalex: the /16 is CIDR notation [01:12] using hardy [01:12] tretle: What have you done as far as changing your sources or using non-official repos [01:12] I am trying to ping all pcs on my home network... 192.168.1.* [01:12] iv dont the dist upgrade [01:12] nmap -v -sP 192.168.1.0/24 then [01:12] tretle: that would be #Ubuntu+1 [01:12] Jack_Sparrow: i installed winxp first from toshiba recovery disk.. then installed ubuntu 7.10... but i am not able to boot back to winxp getting error 29: disk write error... is that cuz the toshiba-ms disk is a recovery disk not installer [01:12] more active here usually isnt it? [01:13] tretle: 1126 people isn't active? [01:13] anyone knows a good hardware store in europe, that dispatches to all europe ? [01:13] what cause its not 1400+ people like around gutsy release? [01:13] uhm, apparently I need to update my alsa to the newest release 1.0.15... can anyone walk me through this??? === cbhl_ is now known as cbhl [01:14] Urim: can you get into ubuntu?

[01:15] hmm... [01:16] shane2peru: like a group/conference chat? [01:16] finchx6: try enabling backports [01:16] shane2peru: i don't think you can cross clients in a chat [01:16] not sure if it's there or not [01:16] shane2peru: just double click on their names. a seperate tab will open for each one [01:16] sainzeo: yes [01:16] I've found several forums that walk you through how to get this sound card working, but I can't get them to work for me. I'm a bit a noob, unfortunately [01:16] Torchwood: great show.. but why did you post the link? [01:17] Jack_Sparrow: cos 9.0.115 is broken and they've stopped supplying (the working) 9.0.48 [01:17] Torchwood: is there any way to have them all in the same tab? [01:17] Torchwood: kind of like here? [01:17] shane2peru: don't think so. don't know. maybe one of the plugins [01:18] shane2peru: have you tried the join chat option in buddies list? [01:18] Torchwood: The problem is.. that still does not work for people using opera and others.. just firefox.. and when the fix comes down.. doing that could cause them real problems [01:18] has anyone been able to set up RipIt4Me in wine and get it too function? [01:18] bazhang, you around? [01:18] musikgoat: ahh, I overlooked that [01:19] lastelement1: we tend to use k9copy to rip dvd's... You might try in #winehq [01:19] jack_sparrow does k9copy work in the same/similar manner? [01:20] lastelement1: yes rip down sized to single layer etc.. [01:21] musikgoat, I don't think that worked. [01:21] jack_sparrow does it also burn the disk following the rip or do i need other software? [01:21] Jack_Sparrow: to uninstall : find /usr/lib/ -name "libflashplayer.so" -delete. it's a hack, but i want working flash so i'm gonna use it. it's just the adobe manual installer. the gutsy .deb simply downloads v115 and unpacks it to the same place [01:21] !worksforme [01:21] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [01:21] shane__: #pidgin can verify if yahoo chatrooms are supported by pidgin [01:22] lastelement1: check it out.. it is in the repos [01:22] musikgoat, I think I got it [01:22] used add a chat.. instead? [01:22] the other person was invisible so it didn't give me the option [01:22] oh [01:23] later dudes [01:23] later [01:23] I could use some help with my atl1 network card driver, i am getting an ip etc but I can not get anywhere no ping etc === Monk is now known as Perff [01:23] is it relatively simple to install Ubuntu without an traces of X?

[01:30] Perff, grub uses another skeem to identify hardrives hd0 = sda [01:30] s/DLS/DSL/g [01:30] but you can get a blabla.no-ip.com address that will transparently connect to your port 81 [01:30] Pelo, and?

I have a toshiba m115 here that suddenly stopped being able to hibernate properly after upgrading to Gutsy. It worked fine in Feisty and worked for a little while using the old kernel, but now the older 2.6.20 kernel won't boot. If I select 'suspend' from the 'log out' dialogue, it does a bit of the process, turns off the screen, then hangs with the computer still 'on'. This runs down the battery and the only [01:31] way to continue is to to a hard reboot. [01:31] wols it's empty [01:31] Perff, get the supergrub cd and do it from te menues [01:31] unless I'm delusional atm they can musikgoat :) [01:31] does anyone have any ideas for figuring out how to fix this? === Ttech is now known as TtechTtechTtechT [01:31] Pelo, what's that?

[01:35] keithclark, congrasulations [01:35] !ccsm [01:35] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [01:35] Thanks Pelo. [01:35] keithclark, menu > system > prefs > appearance, last tab [01:36] Pelo, is it possible to run it just supergrub as it is, or i should burn a cd? strange.. [01:36] what are the chances of using a 2.6.23 kernel in ubuntu without compiling? [01:36] Shirakawasuna: nil? [01:36] Pelo, says it is not available. [01:36] keithclark, run restricted-manager , enable ati restricted. Then sudo modprobe fglrx . Log out, log in. fglrxinfo , be sure you are using ati driver 8.37.6 . sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl emerald compizconfig-settings-manager , logout , login [01:36] Perff, supergrub is a boot cd but I guess you can try and unpack the image to a usb flash drive if you know how to boot from one [01:36] darn non-rolling-release distro [01:37] keithclark, you might need to insall opengl support, not quite sure how, try asking in #compiz-fusion [01:37] Pelo, thanks....I'll look into that. [01:37] Shirakawasuna: how much ram and swap do you have? [01:38] lemme check [01:38] Pelo, it's too complicated.. no simpler way? :( [01:38] <{Nathan}> How do I set ~/bin into my path on startup? I'm guessing it's in .bashrc. [01:38] Perff, just burn to a cd and boot from it [01:38] i don't need windows and stuff, i just want to fix stage1 and menu.lst and so on [01:38] Pelo, where could i find a cdddd [01:38] at 2AM [01:38] magnetron: looks like ~450 M ram and 1.3 G swap === lumpy is now known as Lump|AFK [01:39] Perff, sigh [01:39] Perff: do you use a xfs filesystem? [01:39] magnetron: this occurs with nothing but the default desktop loaded [01:39] (GNOME) [01:39] wols ext3 [01:39] {Nathan}: add this to .bashrc export PATH =$PATH:/new/path/to/add:/other/new/path [01:39] Perff, make a small partition on your hdd and unpack the iso to it , then boot from that [01:39] I have fetchmail set as a cron job to check my work email every 5 minutes. However, I'm getting mail from cron telling me that it did it's job.Is there a way to stop this? [01:39] Pelo, how could I boot from that partition? [01:39] qwaz, lol [01:40] I'm trying to figure out some ways to determine the problem, but I'm fairly sure it's just this kernel version [01:40] Perff: I don't see any error in the outpu you pasted here. are you sure it hasn't installed properly? [01:40] {Nathan}: then logout and login, and test with $PATH [01:40] Pelo: am I an idiot? [01:40] Perff, nevermind , I ugess i'm an idiot [01:40] if i download and install unrar from synaptics, it doesn't add an additional program right? it justs adds to ubuntu's default archive manager, the ability to handle rar files? [01:40] and waiting 4 months doesn't sound so great [01:40] qwaz: run fetchmail as a daemon [01:40] Can somebody help teach me how to install apps (not in add/remove app program) i'm new to ubuntu [01:40] qwaz, no, just a realy cute cunnundrum [01:40] gvsa123: it installs unrar [01:40] qwaz, add > /dev/null at the end of your cron fetchmail invocation, that will dump it into a bit bucket [01:40] Moult: use synaptics [01:40] wols: I would prefer to run it as a cron [01:40] wols: hmmm... i guess i have to reboot to check? [01:40] hey.... does anyone know why upnp isnt working in rhythmbox? [01:40] Shirakawasuna: there there are a lot of different laptop models out there, and almost everyone implement their "suspend"-feature differently. so a lot of laptop owners are facing the same problem as you. [01:40] gvsa123: which works with ubuntu's archive manager [01:40] or is there any other way? :) [01:41] qwaz: and usually cron mails if there was an error with the cronjob, not otherwise [01:41] qwaz, if you have an error, you should get a mail telling you [01:41] Moult, what kind of file do you have to instal from ? [01:41] im trying to connect to my home network but i dont know where to input my information [01:41] wireless network [01:41] wols: I was getting an email from cron saying "8 new messages for bla bla" [01:41] nickrud: Thanks man [01:41] mongo1, menu > system > admin > network I guess [01:41] how do i know what nvidia driver version i have installed here? [01:41] wols thanks i'll try to reboot now... [01:41] musikgoat: then i can simply right click on a rar file and choose open with archive manager and it'll work just like any other archive [01:41] Is it possible that the latest linux kernel that came in the update manager of ubuntu gutsy gibbon broke my sound drivers? [01:41] gvsa123: yes [01:41] snkmad: dpkg -l |grep nvidia [01:41] qwaz, although wols 's advice about running it as a daemon is a better idea [01:41] Shirakawasuna: if you check the ubuntu wiki though, there MAY be info about your model and its linux support [01:42] magnetron: yes. I remember finding once that it had to do with the 2.6.22 version, but now I can no longer find that page. I belive it specifically affected radeon x200m laptops, but not positive. [01:42] Moult, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ [01:42] is there any way for ubuntu to search for wireless networks in range? [01:42] don't see it in the FAQ - how do I connect to an anonymous vista share? [01:42] musikgoat: thanks [01:42] nickrud: I had "fetchmail $> /dev/null" was the $ not needed? [01:42] kyu_flux: iwlist for example [01:42] wols thx [01:42] magnetron: I think I'm going to try compiling a 2.6.23 kernel first. Will I break a whole lot of things that way, like ndiswrapper and the radeon driver? [01:42] wols: Why is running fetchmail as a daemon a better solution? [01:42] Pelo: do i want to enable "Roaming Mode" or no? [01:43] magnetron: fglrx, really [01:43] qwaz, no [01:43] qwaz: cause it was designed for it [01:43] Shirakawasuna: i don't knom [01:43] wols: iwlist - how is wireless related to it? [01:43] mongo1: you are trying to file share? i don't think that menu is going to help [01:43] qwaz, that is, no you don't want the $ :) [01:43] mongo1, wireless I think you want to yes, but I am not an expert on this [01:43] hmm [01:43] I'd think they would break [01:43] kyu_flux: have you checked what iwlist is? [01:43] nickrud: Gotcha [01:43] no im not trying to file share just trying to connect to my home wireless network [01:43] musikgoat: so which is better? the free or non-free of unrar? === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:44] man iwlist == gets detailed wireless information from a wireless interface [01:44] gvsa123: morally or technically? [01:44] mongo1, did you mean you want to be able to connect to the other computers on your home network ? I think you need to use samba for that but again , not an expert [01:44] anyone know how to get the upnp plugin in rhythmbox working? [01:44] wols: lol... technically. [01:44] good question, i think i have both installed, i think either one works with archive manager for what you are looking for [01:44] r irc.cl [01:44] no i just wanna connect to my router so i can connect to the internet [01:44] !wifi | mongo1 [01:44] mongo1: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:45] musikgoat: i see... [01:45] [01:45] mongo1: roaming mode is iirc unencrypted [01:45] wols: man iwlist == gets detailed wireless information from a wireless interface [01:45] i dont know what that means [01:45] kyu_flux: yes [01:45] gvsa123, just sudo apt-get install rar unrar [01:45] wols: i'm not using wireless [01:45] roaming mode, from what i've seen, allows network manager to manage it [01:45] nicely even [01:45] mongo1, iirc = if I recall correctly [01:46] wols: all wired [01:46] The new update linux kernel broke my sound! No sound card in asoundconf anymore :( [01:46] kyu_flux: sorry then I mxed up the nicks [01:46] wols: np [01:46] Pelo: hmmm... but i don't think i need the rar capability... what's with the different archiving format anyway [01:46] ipx_laptop, review the sound stuff first [01:46] !sound | ipx_laptop [01:46] ipx_laptop: 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).

[01:47] wols: MTA is sendmail [01:47] qwaz: why? [01:48] Moult, vim is already in the repos [01:48] Pelo: i want to learn more about linux, and i thought by learning how to compile/install manually programs was a good start [01:48] Pelo: ya thats what lead me to that link. [01:48] so when i am in the peach screen and nothing happens i do ctrl+alt+f5 and do a ps ax and the last thing on that list is gnome-screensaver but the screen saver works fine when i am loged in correctly [01:48] Moult: isn't vim installed by default? [01:48] wols: ? because im a noob [01:48] Moult, http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ [01:48] can anyone helpme [01:48] Pelo: musikgoat: so what's the "default" or preferred archiving format for ubuntu? is there? [01:48] qwaz: especially when you are a noob you should NEVER use sendmail [01:48] mongo1, give me a minute to read the link [01:48] dpkg -S /usr/sbin/sendmail [01:48] wols: im a noob, but not a dumb noob [01:48] Pelo: ok, thanks alot mucho appreciated. [01:48] gvsa123, tarball, they are already availalbe by default [01:48] musikgoat: i do not see any Vim [01:48] wols: the sendmail configuration made plenty of sense [01:49] gvsa123: yeah tar.gz is common [01:49] Pelo: by the way what repository are you talkign about? [01:49] hey guys - while I believe that ubuntu is now getting loaded from the bootloader properly, I'm now getting dumped into BusyBox 1.1.3 - anyone have any clue what would cause that? TTY1 just displays "Loading, please wait..." and TTY5 and 8 show BusyBox. [01:49] wols: configured mutt, fetchmail and sendmail...im not stupid [01:49] qwaz: I tend to disagree. what is the package name of the dpkg command I just told you? [01:49] Moult, menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager [01:49] gvsa123: tar creates on long file, and gzip or bzip2 are the popular linux compression formats [01:49] can someone please tell me what directory programs like Xchat are kept in my default, so i know where to put my Xchat plugins like obsidian? [01:49] Pelo: musikgoat: oh.... what about the variations in tar? .bz, gz, ezwizi... lol [01:50] lol, anyone that gets mutt nicely configured is either masochistic or does have an idea [01:50] LycoLoco: it couldn't find your / partition [01:50] musikgoat: oh they;'re different format altogether [01:50] gvsa123: tar is separate from compressing, don't get them confused [01:50] hmm [01:50] is there an easy way to reinstall an old kernel? [01:50] gvsa123, those are all supported natively in ubuntu, stick with tar-gz for your own archiving I suggest seems to be the most common [01:50] perhaps a repo keeping legacy versions? [01:50] can anyon in here help me [01:50] wols: thanks (I didn't get it to work yet) - it's amazing that I'd have to use smbmount when there's a perfectly good file browser) [01:50] wols: you disagree with my assesment of my own intelligence? or you disagree with sendmail's config making sense? [01:50] nickrud: if said person uses snedmail without a good reason pretty much narrows it down what he is [01:50] musikgoat: oh tar doesn't compress? [01:50] the tar is just stringing all the files together into one file, then, compressing it is the next step [01:50] wols: good to know (seriously) - right now it's using ntldr instead of grub to load, so is there an easy way to get that to work instead of using ntldr? [01:50] wols: but thanks for your help, i'll play around with this a little longer [01:51] Pelo: what is the use of this package manager? [01:51] kyu_flux: not saying you can't do ti with the filebrowser [01:51] mongo1, I suggest you just follow the instructions in tha tlink , the are a bit over my head [01:51] musikgoat: i see... [01:51] LycoLoco: yes, install it [01:51] it being grub that is [01:51] wols, me, if I do local transport I use exim. Brain dead configuration (and I'll accept that appellation) [01:51] already did [01:51] gvsa123: the .extention is just an extention... so you will see filename.tar.gz and you will see filename.tgz which are the same [01:51] qwaz: both [01:51] wols: what makes you think I'm unintelligent? [01:51] Pelo: :O if they're over your head then theyre certainly over mine ;( hmm maybe someone else can help [01:51] wols: yeah, I just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu and this is the same result that I've gotten 3 times over, sadly [01:51] nickrud: I use postfix [01:51] Moult, add/remove and synaptic are both frontend for apt , where add/remove only shows you the applications, synaptic shows you all the packages available, apps, libs, scritps etc [01:51] help.. my other nic isn't working after i restarted my box [01:51] qwaz: your use of MTA [01:51] wols: I'm unintelligent because I used sendmail? [01:52] Pelo: oh ok thanks! [01:52] Moult: that's where you can find most if not all of the applications you would need in ubuntu [01:52] wols: for some reason grub isn't taking priority over ntldr, and for the life of me I can't figure out why that would be [01:52] wols: are you sure unintelligent means what you think it means? [01:52] wols: any place you can refer me to to read on how to get it to work with the file browser? [01:52] qwaz: It's still not sure what you use. cause every MTA on the planet has a sendmail wrapper [01:52] Pelo: been reading through and following the troubleshooting-guide now but im pretty sure its after the latest linux kernel update that came from the repos [01:52] wols: Ok [01:52] kyu_flux: I don't do gnome or GUI, sorry [01:52] Hello, I was wondering if I could get some assistance on mounting a fat32 hdd [01:52] mongo1, I suggest you skip the big intros and jump to the instructions, if you hit a snag , come back with a specific question [01:52] Pelo: you have any clue? [01:52] wols: fair... thanks for your help =) [01:52] Moult, did you check this our http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ [01:52] LycoLoco: you havent installd grup on MBR [01:52] LycoLoco: you havent installd grub on MBR [01:52] any admins online? [01:52] eric do you know what the drive location is? [01:53] yes Musikgoat [01:53] like /dev/sda or /dev/hda ? [01:53] help.. my other nic isn't working after i restarted my box [01:53] /dev/sdb1 [01:53] hi all again [01:53] Pelo: yes. i'm trying to learn how to install for example, a random program online for linux, therefore i have chosen vim to test it out [01:53] sunogbaga: then I'm not sure how to do that if the installer for ubuntu isn't doing that automatically. It's installing it to hd0, which I'm not sure if that's where my MBR is or not. [01:53] sunogbaga: your nick being what kind? [01:53] mount -t msdos /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint [01:53] it is a fat32 filesystem [01:53] well, mail is going out, mailing lists are filtered and sorted, applicable ones are forwarded off to my blackberry [01:53] Pelo: now i'm confused as to which file i should download in the first place [01:53] How can I see my kernel version via the terminal easy? [01:53] i must have just stumbled into all that [01:53] ipx_laptop: uname -a [01:53] sunogbaga: I've got 3 HDDs, two SATA, one PATA, so I'm not sure which drive to point it to install grub onto, and just went with the default of HD0 [01:53] thx [01:53] ipx_laptop, I get the cause, but the fix should still be the same, start with the basics and go from there, if your say your card is not present you probably have to install it again, no idea how however [01:53] Pelo: well i tried to download the offline file but it doesn't exist. [01:53] eric mount -t msdos /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint you could try -t vfat too [01:54] wols, I've rebooted, and now I'm screwed. There's just command-line of GRUB, no menu any more, so I can't even edit the options and manually boot. [01:54] LycoLoco: what happens when you install grub? and how do you install it? [01:54] good to see the old linux attitude is creeping its way into #ubuntu [01:54] Hello, all time when I enter on my session/machine to do login, I see 'machine.(none)' how can I have only machine name without none? thanks. [01:54] Pelo: ok thx [01:54] Moult, hold on [01:54] wols: I'm just letting the ubuntu 7.10 installer do its thing, nothing special [01:54] Perff: chroot into your system again. [01:54] LycoLoco: is grub installed in a different HDD? [01:54] wols: if I write root (hd0,9) and then setup (hd0), it works nicely, but next reboot I again get to commandline [01:54] mongo1, hold on [01:54] it looks like I don't have menu.lst or something [01:54] Pelo: here is the link to the vim download site again http://www.vim.org/download.php [01:54] LycoLoco: i mean ubuntu.. is it installed in another hdd? [01:54] Perff: what did you boot right now? the ubuntu install? [01:54] qwaz, lol, we gotta have some curmudgeons , otherwise it's no fun [01:55] sunogbaga: I'm not sure, tbh. I'm not sure what the naming nomenclature of grub is, so I"m not sure if it's on teh same drive as ubuntu or not, [01:55] sorry guys i got dropped, could you repeat the msdos mount script again? [01:55] can anyone who has a minute please tell me where i can find my installed programs like Xchat? [01:55] nickrud: the curmudgeons are the sendmail users. they've been around much longer than us exim and psotfix folks [01:55] so i have to chat from my laptop :( [01:55] eric mount -t msdos /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint you could try -t vfat instead [01:55] Moult, join me in #pelo and wait for me a bit [01:55] Mokilok: dpkg -L | grep bin [01:55] Mokilok, in general , dpkg -L | grep /bin will show you the executables [01:55] Pelo: hehe look what i found :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3979768 [01:55] thank you, ill try that [01:55] LycoLoco: try rebooting your box.. each time trying a different hdd [01:55] Perff: well? [01:56] ipx_laptop, congrats, bit busy atm but good luck with it [01:56] hey how can I download an ogg codec? [01:56] =) [01:56] eric first make a dir such as /media/mountpoint [01:56] sunogbaga: you mean installing it to a different drive each time or booting from a different drive each time? [01:56] hey [01:56] thanks serenityUK [01:56] LycoLoco: boot at a different hdd each time you reboot [01:56] Perff: do you want a menu.lst or not? if so answer my questions [01:56] mongo1, accept the file , I am sending it to you right now [01:56] I have my mount point set up [01:56] wols, very true. I spend some time on the sendmail lists when I was doing lfs, moved on to postfix lists because I couldn't stand it [01:56] nickrud: anyway, thanks for the /dev/null tip :) [01:56] ok, I'll give that a shot, sunogbaga [01:56] the error I keep getting is as follows [01:56] Pelo: try again it was ignored [01:56] sunogbaga: what NIC? [01:56] wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, [01:56] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [01:56] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [01:56] dmesg | tail or so [01:56] !paste | eric [01:56] eric: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [01:57] sorry [01:57] eric use -t vfat instead [01:57] wols: i remember it was 3com when i first plugged it in [01:57] :( failed [01:57] eric that sounds like its not fat32 [01:57] sunogbaga: thanks for your help, hopefully I'll see ya on the other side : ) [01:57] sunogbaga: answer my question ins auseful manner please [01:57] where did you get the file from and i'll go get it [01:57] you too wols, thanks! [01:57] LycoLoco: np :P [01:57] fdisk says that it is a fat32 win95 lba [01:57] vfat doesnt work either [01:57] wols: wait, i'll check the nic [01:58] the archive manager still says that rar is not supported..... i got unrar free [01:58] wols: dude...relax man...you're not getting paid for this [01:58] wols: have some fun, that's why you're here...I would guess [01:58] ive tried to mount as NTFS but that doesnt work either. I have the hdd connected to a pci sata card. would that interfere? [01:58] hey [01:58] eric: not with the filesystem [01:58] neither mplayer or rhythmbox will play ogg [01:58] any thoughts? [01:59] On the live cd, the system mounts everything fine. [01:59] Jack_Sparrow: are you still here? [01:59] hi guys hope someone can help me, iv just installed 7.10 on my laptop and in visual effects there is no custom option. I'm using a dell inspiron 6000 and it has share intel graphics. [01:59] aolaus, is your sound muted? [01:59] I have the codec because audacity works [01:59] JeevesMoss: Lurking [01:59] eric do you use gnome.. you can also mount via icon... goto places->computer and rightclick [01:59] gvsa123: did you try the nonfree version? [01:59] I'm listening to dire straits on this editing program.. it's ghetto [01:59] wols: yah, its 3com. ethernet adapter... i remember ubuntu recognizing it before I restarted [01:59] Jack_Sparrow: ok, sorry, had supper in there [01:59] aolaus, that's very odd, neither use the same codes [01:59] ok im here [01:59] audacity imported the ogg just fine [01:59] JeevesMoss: np.. I was chatting in another channel... [01:59] eric you got it? [01:59] musikgoat: not yet. this is not normal? [01:59] *codecs [01:59] hmm [01:59] how do I change my administrator password? [02:00] I'm not seeing it in Site menu [02:00] what do i need to create? [02:00] sunogbaga: still not answering my question. it's about as useful if i said I have a realtek NIC [02:00] aolaus, ok, try shutting all sound programs off, and then try and play them? Sometimes the other sound programs take over the sound card. [02:00] perhaps I don't have the "official" ubuntu codecs [02:00] gvsa, after i installed it, it worked fine... [02:00] whoops [02:00] oy, ok [02:00] wols: i am the guy trying to get wireless working. I did what the wiki you showed me told me to do, but i can get the firmware files to "make installfw" [02:00] wrong channel [02:00] wols: yep [02:00] Jack_Sparrow: do you have time to help me figure this Mcencoder thing? [02:00] hoy, that worked [02:00] thanks [02:00] im in the computer, i right click, then what do i need to do? [02:00] laters [02:00] musikgoat: oh there.... i needed the nonfree... hmmm... i wonder why [02:00] gvsa123: try just installing unrar not unrar-free [02:00] eric there should be mount volume in the menu.. it will ask for password [02:01] wols: so, I try to boot my linux desktop [02:01] wols: and it boots into grub commandline [02:01] Perff: either you give me the answer I asked you for, or you have to fix your problem on your own [02:01] jackster: You are too cool. [02:01] what ahve you booted right NOW? [02:01] gvsa123: I'm not too sure why [02:01] aeGIs: why thankyou :) [02:01] musikgoat: oh well... whichever works... :) [02:01] jackster: no problem [02:01] wols: not really sure what youre saying.. however lspic gave me this Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 24)... but doesn't show up in network manager [02:01] Perff, translated, that means he can't help you unless he gets useful information :) [02:01] Can anyone tell me how to make Ubuntu better? [02:02] i dont see an option to mount a drive when i right click in the window for computer... [02:02] eric are you right clicking on the drive icon? [02:02] aeGIs: take a time machine into the future? [02:02] aeGIs, join your area's locale team, work on the wiki, work with the doc team, become a master of the universe [02:02] wols: and i don't know how to boot manually - all my plays with kernel command finish with kernel panic [02:02] wols? [02:02] oh, for the sdb1? it isnt showing up [02:02] meh, I still say go to the future [02:02] aeGIs: are you saying you would like to contribute? [02:02] it's like the song, things can only get better :) [02:02] jackster: is there a deb for that? apt-get ubuntu-time-machine [02:03] magnetron: No [02:03] doesnt show an icon in the computer - file browser at all [02:03] JeevesMoss: ON the phone atm... that should not be hard.. wols or maybe pelo if you can catch him [02:03] I want the windows to stop being unresponsive when I open more than 4 [02:03] Jack_Sparrow: ok, I'm going over to the coffee shop again [02:03] sunogbaga: 3c59x should be it [02:03] Perff: I asked you how you booted right now. either you tell me or fix your stuff yourself. good day [02:03] all we want to do is eat your brains... we're not unreasonable, we wont eat your eyes... jonathan coulton rocks [02:03] * |rat| says "Save the cheerleader, save the world!" [02:03] wols: i am the guy trying to get wireless working. I did what the wiki you showed me told me to do, but i can get the firmware files to "make installfw" [02:04] l21logan99: there are errors === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine [02:04] eric an empty window? not even a CD icon and one saying filesystem? [02:04] oh, and bluetooth capabilities would be nice :) [02:04] * nickrud wants to be in |rat| 's movie [02:04] i see two cd drives and a filesystem, but no second hdd icon [02:04] wols: i just cant seem to get anything to work [02:05] wols_: how can I use it again? do i just need a reboot or something else? [02:05] when i go to suspend for a long time, i log back in get an an errror message saying computer failed to "hibernate", and then the computer hibernates. any ideas how to fix this problem i have no settings on that tell my computer to hibernate it never should [02:05] l21logan99: you can't seem to make proper problem descriptions either [02:05] sunogbaga: modprobe it, if it then works put it in /etc/modules [02:05] nickrud: me too... I worked on Attack of the Killer TOmaotes.. long ago... can I join in.. [02:05] hey i got a question about gparted [02:05] h-town: sure just ask [02:05] Sabra Hummus is awesome... I just had the Pine Nuts version. Tasty! [02:06] Jack_Sparrow, absolutely, if |rat| will let us in [02:06] Does anyone know when the Flash plugin installation will be fixed? [02:06] wols: im sorry, I went threw the steps that the bcm43xx readme siad, i extracted the firmware file then said make installfw, and the terminal said that it the command was no valid [02:06] i'm trying to format my vista partition, so that I can use it as a storage partition and comit my pc to ubuntu [02:06] h-town: Dearly gparted, we are gathered here today to celebrate this thing we call life... [02:06] wols_: ok [02:06] calm: No idea yet... [02:06] calm, that is the 64 dollar question here [02:06] ha, that's funny [02:06] h-town: whats wrong? [02:06] Flash would be awesome! It blows without it.

[02:07] i thought i did using synaptic...but the ./configure for LIVES is giving me the same error [02:07] Flash works, but just for firefox, and you run the risk of the real fix conflicting with the current workaround [02:07] !fs [02:07] can anyone help ! [02:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about fs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:07] eric, you have a second hard drive, but you don't see it?

[02:07] * |rat| remember: "You cannot die McCloud, accept it!" [02:07] correct. its located at /dev/sdb1 according to fdisk [02:07] aeGIs, run cfdisk, change the partition to Linux , then sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sd(a1?) [02:08] eric, please type "mount" in a console and paste the output in a pastebin. [02:08] Flannel: no i do not...what is build-essential ?

Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [02:08] well i have options for formating it, what do i select, so that it's ubuntu compatible but will be it's own partitions [02:08] partition [02:08] wols_:can i apt-get install gtk2.0 dev package ? [02:08] jack_sp: But you don't have the functions... like on xxxstash.com you can't make the videos go to full screen. [02:08] |rat|: It only takes ma an hour to get over to Hollywood/Burbank [02:08] wols: yep [02:08] wols: so, I try to boot my linux desktop [02:08] wols: and it boots into grub commandline [02:08] wols: and i don't know how to boot manually - all my plays with kernel command finish with kernel panic [02:08] wols? [02:08] bmt2: Its got gcc and all the standard libs and stuff (and then you'll need gtk as well) [02:08] h-town: ext3 [02:08] h-town: ext3 is the most common but slow [02:08] bmt2: yes [02:08] oh wow today's naruto is gonna be awesome :P [02:08] well my primary partition is already ext3 [02:08] eric: e.g. here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [02:08] Perff: you are here, hence you managed to boot _somthing_ [02:08] h-town: xfs is faster, but less recoverable on hard shutdowns [02:09] wols_: how do i apt-get install gtk 2.0 ? [02:09] <|rat|> Flannel: sorry... [02:09] bmt2: I will NOT tell people how to use gtk [02:09] h-town: That doesn't matter, you can have all of them ext3 if you want [02:09] wols no, I'm chatting with you from windows laptop [02:09] erm use apt-get [02:09] I'm running 7.10 on hp pavilion ze4125. Computer is running slow, and I was advised to 'killall powernowd', but the command responds with, 'no process killed'. I ran ps -aux, and the only result is 'gnome-power-manager. Any ideas? [02:09] Flannel: can i apt-get install build-essentials ? [02:09] Perff: use the livecd then [02:09] wols: i can't boot any linux [02:09] Ah. Oh well. [02:09] build-essential [02:09] wols: and? [02:09] bmt2: apt-get install build-essential, yes. no "s" on the end [02:09] ok i understand, i was worried that ext3 was like number 3 drive and they would merge [02:09] Perff: use it [02:09] wols: livecd CAN'T boot my hard drive linux [02:09] wols: and? [02:09] h-town: no, that wont happen [02:09] Perff: it doesn't need ot. you have a linux, it can mount the harddisk, it can chroot into it [02:09] great, well i'm going to go for it... [02:09] eric? [02:10] wols: it will just take me to the same screen with command line of grub... [02:10] :( [02:10] okay Flannel i am doing that now..thanks [02:10] you seed that it gives me gcc...but what about gtk ? [02:10] Perff: the livecd will NOT do this. think before you type [02:10] wols_: how do i apt-get install gtk 2.0 ? [02:10] wols: what is "chroot"? [02:10] wols: im sorry, I went threw the steps that the bcm43xx readme said, i extracted the firmware file then said make installfw, and the terminal said that it the command was not valid [02:10] <|rat|> sudo apt-get install gtk2? [02:10] Perff: command. [02:10] !grub | Perff [02:10] Perff: 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 [02:11] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49101/ [02:11] there ya go [02:11] |rat|: is that all i have to do is : sudo apt-get install gtk2 ? [02:11] shows both vfat and msdos [02:11] and my fdisk -l [02:11] Perff: instead of running the grub-install in those howtos to install grub after you chrooted, simply run sudo update-grub and you have a menu.lst [02:11] wols i read all these docs, and i don't need windows [02:11] wols ok it looks like i need to find out what is chroot [02:11] Perff: but you need a menu.lst [02:12] chroot is a command [02:12] "change root" literally. changes / [02:12] I have Feisty and want to install Gutsy over it. Backing up my /home will work totally? [02:12] wols: ok i'll try now [02:12] eric, is it possible that your fat32 is corrupted? [02:12] RenatoSilva: upgrading will work too [02:12] so i have 2 ext3 partitons plus a space of about 30 gigs unallocated, how do i merge the new ext3 partition with that unallocated space? [02:12] I have Feisty and want to install Gutsy over it. Backing up my /home will work totally? [02:12] RenatoSilva, yes [02:12] wols: thx [02:12] i dont think so. It shouldnt be. [02:12] RenatoSilva, not required to backup home, but it's as good a time as any [02:12] <|rat|> bmt2: is sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 [02:12] wols_: I'm in a dialed conn [02:13] h-town: you don't. you resize the ext3 partition to encompass the unallocated space [02:13] eric, did you try without the -t option? [02:13] ah, ok thanks [02:13] no i didnt. ill try that now [02:13] RenatoSilva: you can upgrade witht he CD too [02:13] RenatoSilva: That is gonna take awhile.. [02:13] wols:???? [02:13] Jack_Sparrow: only if he has a 1x CD drive [02:13] nickrud: so I create a user with the same name and restore the /home/myuser and everything will work fine? [02:13] that just gives me a lot of options [02:13] l21logan99: either you show us the errors you get or you fix your own problems. your choice [02:13] so if i resize it all the way it won't affect my original ubuntu partition? like in the window that pops up with a slider? [02:13] if i dont include the -t [02:14] RenatoSilva: that is bass ackwards [02:14] wols_: No.. if he tries to upgrade with dialup [02:14] eric mount /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint [02:14] the slider represents all my free space? or all my total hard drive? [02:14] RenatoSilva, yes. If you're reinstalling completely , you should consider making a /home partition. [02:14] wols_: upgrade from cd? it's a new feature of gutsy don't? [02:14] h-town: it shouldn't affect, but if you haven't backed up your stuff it's not important anyways [02:15] RenatoSilva: no it's not a new feature. it always wa there. always [02:15] it tells me i must specifiy the file system type [02:15] eric: try "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/windows" [02:15] eric, oh well, worth a shot [02:15] nickrud: not necessary, I have just one user, is it possible to create a different user, restore and rename the profile? [02:15] wols: i get the error No rule to make target `installfw' [02:15] * nickrud doesn't really trust the upgrade path anymore :( [02:15] well so far so good, thanks for the help guys [02:15] eric: or "mount -t fat32 /dev/sdb1 /media/windows" [02:15] l21logan99: what howto do you use? [02:15] eric: or "mount -t FAT32 /dev/sdb1 /media/windows" [02:16] is there a way for ubuntu to tell you when you have minimized windows in other desktops when you are logging out or shutting down or whatever [02:16] chickenFuego: it would be -t vfat. which he already tried [02:16] wols: it says in the bcm43xx readme that i extract the files then i use "make installfw" to properlly place them for use by the driver [02:16] it says maybe i ment vfat [02:16] wols_: that's funny because I never have noticed it tough desiring it so much. It happens when analysing the partitions right? [02:16] eric: dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=bootsector count=1 bs=512 [02:16] RenatoSilva, yes, you'll have to chown the files & dirs in your home, but easily doable [02:16] eric: then show us the result [02:16] wols:and i get that error [02:16] RenatoSilva: no [02:16] please paste the output of "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/windows", It shouldn t give options as output.. [02:17] eric try the eqivilent of scandisk.... sudo fsck /dev/sdb1 [02:17] !broadcom [02:17] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [02:17] RenatoSilva: you do not boot from the CD ever when upgrading [02:17] don't be a hater [02:17] !upgrade | RenatoSilva [02:17] RenatoSilva: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:17] RenatoSilva: you ad the CD to your sources.list and do a apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade. that's all [02:17] chickenFuego: he used no t but still added the filesystem the first time, then corrected it [02:17] !stop unresponsive windows [02:17] wols_: hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm [02:18] I added myself to the "sudo" group, however when I type "sudo ______" it does nothing, it does not return me a password prompt or anything [02:18] wols - permission denied [02:18] RenatoSilva: and that's supposed to tell me what? [02:18] ubotu: if you are speaking to me then i have already checked there and there is nothing about the problems i am having [02:18] eric: use sudo then [02:18] gnychis, ________ isn't a command ;) [02:18] nickrud: hummm, what about if the backup was in a NTFS partition? [02:18] wols: [02:18] ubotu is a bot [02:18] Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information. [02:18] gynch: you have to put a command in [02:18] ubotu is a bot? [02:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:18] yes [02:19] RenatoSilva, I beleive you'd need to copy it over to an ext2/3 or other linux partition [02:19] wols: ok now grub has a menu, but when I select any item it says "can't mount selected partition" [02:19] Oh, I didn't know ubotu is a bot [02:19] lol [02:19] wols_: hum means hum [02:19] wols: it says in the bcm43xx readme that i extract the files then i use "make installfw" to properlly place them for use by the driver [02:19] aeGIs: cool [02:19] RenatoSilva: if you want a backup, make a tarfile of what you want ot backup. you can put this easily on a ntfs drive without any problems [02:19] eric - as far as I know, the vfat linux kernel driver can read/write fat16, but only read fat32. [02:19] l21logan99: Did you use fwcutter? [02:19] RenatoSilva: have a nice day and learn to speak properly. good bye [02:19] ntfs! [02:19] chickenFuego: i'm not sure if that is correct [02:20] Jack_Sparrow: yes [02:20] chickenFuego: not true [02:20] nickrud: otherwise what'd happen? [02:20] musikgoat: it isn't [02:20] vfat writes fine to fat32 [02:20] ok [02:20] bcm43xx-fwcutter FILE [02:20] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49102/ [02:20] l21logan99: What problem are you having, all of those have worked fine for me [02:20] i use fat32 r/w [02:20] wols_: you too [02:20] RenatoSilva, tarring is excellent advice , it stands for tape archive. Standard procedure for backups [02:20] I added myself to the "sudo" group, however when I type "sudo ______" it does nothing, it does not return me a password prompt or anything [02:20] Jack_Sparrow make installfw [02:20] there is the paste for both wols and serenities scripts [02:21] i get No rule to make target `installfw' [02:21] wols_: have some sex, you need it I guess [02:21] i need help on setting up wireless connection from laptop to router so i can get on teh interwebs :( can someone plz help me? [02:21] eric: can you put up the bootsector file somewhere [02:21] nickrud: good idea that of TAR [02:21] wols: ok now grub has a menu, but when I select any item it says "can't mount selected partition" [02:21] nickrud: but i'm curious about what would happen [02:21] eric, fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1 ? [02:22] Perff: pastebin your menu.lst and your fdisk -l output [02:22] l21logan99: Where are you getting the request to make installfw?

[02:23] eric cat bootsector [02:23] but i got a Restricted Drivers not needed error, so i have to manualy install the firmware in terminal [02:23] musikgoat: bootsector is a binary file...

[02:27] nickrud: anotehr question: at job, the upgrade doesn't work. After downloading the upgrade tool, it tells me there was a fault regarding PGP authentication or something like this...

I'm trying to install a perl script that is requires some Perl Modules. One of the module is List::MoreUtils version 0.22 and I have v 0.21. When trying to install the latest version through 'perl -MCPAN -e 'shell' ' it tells me that I have the latest version... [02:30] RenatoSilva, then show the error on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [02:30] whoah, it put me in this blue screen with lots of zeros... how do i not break this? [02:30] gvsa123: there are a few different commands... lspci and lsusb will list pci and usb devices... use -v for more detail [02:30] serenityUK: lsusb!... i remembered now... [02:30] NotSoGutsy, can you paste your compilation errors msg? [02:30] what about a copy of wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o [02:30] chickenFuego :: it throws a lot of errors, mostly ones like "error: invalid use of undefined type ‘struct ’" or "error: ‘’ was not declared in this scope" [02:30] hey all - I've somehow borked my ubuntu installation which now boots to a text console login rather than into X, anyone have any ideas of settings that I may have somehow screwed up that could cause this to happen? [02:30] l21logan99: what firmware binary did you get from the extraction? and where did you copy it? [02:31] if I log in and startx all is fine, X just doesn't start at boot [02:31] baudolino: your xorg settings [02:31] serenityUK: yeah... i just couldn't remember... should have a notebook for this.... [02:31] baudolino: that is the S99gdm symlink [02:31] wols: i used wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o which was on my home desktop [02:31] and how do i copy and paste this stuff? [02:31] nickrud: regarding this I've noticed that always when updating package list it shows me an alert about unauthenticated sources [02:31] wols: i got it cia a link on the wiki [02:31] baudolino, if you run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm at the console, do you get the graphical login screen? [02:31] l21logan99: or just wl_apsta_o [02:31] nickrud: I'll verify it later [02:31] l21logan99: was that file created by the extraction? [02:31] NotSoGutsy, some missing libraries? paste it here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [02:31] gvsa123: use -v for verbose... yes I use google notebook to write these down.. can acess form any pc with a browser lol [02:31] wols:no [02:31] eric, i'm trying to see if i can get any output, wols_ do you have experience with ht? [02:31] RenatoSilva, yeah, that's the error I'm talking about. [02:31] nickrud: thank you very much for everything [02:31] l21logan99: what file DID you get from extraction? [02:31] How can know which CPAN mirror i'm getting my perl packages from? [02:32] serenityUK: so is there a command to list down all commands? [02:32] RenatoSilva, and that is _upgrading_ , not updating. Two different actions [02:32] im very new to this whole linux thing so im just trying to understand exactly what i need to do. [02:32] nickrud: do you know the download size for an upgrade? [02:32] wols: a variety of bcm43xx*.fw files in the .tmp folder [02:32] will someone please help me get my sound working in gutsy? [02:32] resizing a partition sure take a long time [02:32] l21logan99: you need to copy one of them to /lib/firmware. possibly all of them [02:32] RenatoSilva, depends on how much stuff you installed from the net. could be as little as 700mb , or more than 2 [02:33] nickrud: yeah, i've *updated* feisty before trying to *upgrade* to gutsy [02:33] gvsa123: there are too many.. try info xxx if looking for something... . also sudo lshw is big list of all dectected hardware.. even memory etc [02:33] eric, i've never read a bootsector before, so i'm trying along with you, but i don't know the syntax for ht [02:33] got it [02:33] this is what i get when i try to upgrade: http://pastebin.ca/826261 [02:33] how do i fix it? [02:33] RenatoSilva, and you got authentication errors? Reminds me, you should disable any non-ubuntu repos before you upgrade [02:33] I'm running 7.10 on hp pavilion ze4125. Computer is running slow, and I was advised to 'killall powernowd', but the command responds with, 'no process killed'. I ran ps -aux | grep, and the only result is 'gnome-power-manager. Any ideas? [02:33] nickrud, it would be kdm i guess since im trying to fire up kde at this stage but kk I'll give that a shot, ty :) [02:33] eric: pastebin the output of hte now [02:33] gvsa123: sudo lshw is the daddy [02:34] wols: i did copy them all but it didnt work, the README said it needs to be in FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR [02:34] how do i copy the output? [02:34] inlib/firmware [02:34] gvsa123: (list hardware) [02:34] serenityUK: i see.... i'd better go google for basic linux commands.... any manual you might want to recommend... will try those out [02:34] its in some wierd window [02:34] wols_, there is a s99kdm symlink, its pointing to /etc/init.d/kdm like I'm guessing its meant to [02:34] nickrud: al least a CD-like? Well, it's a bad idea trying to do it on dialed connection rs [02:34] wols: "After extraction, run make installfw which will copy bcm43xx_*.fw to [02:34] FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR (which defaults to /lib/firmware) for [02:34] usage by the bcm43xx driver. " [02:34] After extraction, run make installfw which will copy bcm43xx_*.fw to [02:34] FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR (which defaults to /lib/firmware) for [02:34] usage by the bcm43xx driver. An alternative way is using the -w option. [02:34] nickrud: hummmmmmm :) [02:34] l21logan99: yes in /lib/firmware. then you modprobe -r your bcm43xx and modprobe it again to load it. then you should have an interface for it which you can configure [02:34] RenatoSilva, oh, yes you are absolutely correct. Unless you're willing to let it run all night for a a while :) [02:34] gvsa123: linuxcommand.org [02:35] bascule: thanks. [02:35] l21logan99: do NOT paste in here! [02:35] nickrud: in fact I think there is non-ubuntu repos...I'll try it next year, thank you!!! [02:35] wols: so how do i mobprobe [02:35] l21logan99, did you run that as sudo make installfw ? [02:35] l21logan99: modprobe [02:35] nickrud: yes [02:36] bummer, thought I had fought thru the thicket [02:36] serenityUK: i like this... lshw.... lol [02:36] nickrud: a night is not enough, maybe a month rs... [02:36] Would you like an apple pie with that? Ding fries are done.... [02:36] wols: yes, but you said to mobprobe -r your bcm43xx, what did you mean by "your bcm43xx" [02:36] how can i tell which version of Ubuntu is installed on a computer? [02:37] chickenFuego :: sorry that took so long: http://pastebin.ca/826268 [02:37] I said modprobe. read more carefully. your bcm43xx which is currently loaded but won't work [02:37] DIL, lsb_release -a in a terminal [02:37] hmm... it is telling me it cant load the configuration file and then it says it is loading a default [02:37] ty [02:37] dil: system > about [02:37] musikgoat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Boot_Record fyi [02:37] eric: where is the paste of the htw output? [02:37] nvm~ [02:37] figured it out [02:37] nickrud, just tried sudo invoke-rc.d kdm start, telling me its not the default display manager (although /etc/default-display-manager tells a different story) [02:37] guys ....... while running ubuntu 7.10 with compiz enabled I sometimes at the top window bar of firfox missing. the minimize, maxime & close button are missing, when I hover my mouse over they come back.

[02:42] nickrud, but if gdm will work just as well I might see if I can get that to run [02:42] Anybody can give me a hand with perl packages? [02:42] baudolino, yeah, the alternatives system seems to get bypassed sometimes, just try the gdm invocation for now [02:42] chickenFuego :: the site I got the program from says I need 3.3 [02:42] !modprobe [02:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about modprobe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:42] l21logan99: modprobe -r bcm43xx [02:42] everytime i try and copy something, all i get is 'ex4h' [02:42] ok [02:43] you said do it twice === Perff_4 is now known as Perff5 [02:43] can anyone help me with teamspeak 2 setup?

[02:43] it says an error occurs on my cd rom [02:43] it can't read from source [02:43] wols: so after modprobe -r i do modprobe [02:44] nickrud, trying to invoke gdm gives the same result as kdm, it just tells me its not starting because its not the default display manager [02:44] wols_: how do i set up a server in teamspeak i cant figure it out [02:44] you guys all fucking suck dick . haha have a nice day [02:44] mackarill, install compizconfig-settings-manager [02:44] recoy: what is that? where is the website--do they have a faq?

[02:44] NotSoGutsy, it might work with qt4, try "sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev" and compile again. paste the errors if any.

[02:45] wols: i will try that and be back if it does not work [02:45] mrdinkles: install the OS and decide which OS has the booatloader. if it's ubuntu, add the other OS to menu.lst. you ahve to do it manually [02:45] recoy: take a look at the site; do they have a faq or setup instructions? [02:45] bazhang: they are old [02:45] wols_, nah, it just gives me that line about not being the default display manager so it wont start [02:45] nickrud, kk [02:45] Perff: which of your partitions is the linux / one? which one has your /boot?

[02:47] nickrud, hmm...well, it gave me a choice between gdm and kdm, went with kdm and tried again but same thing about not the default-display-manager >< [02:47] wols_: how though, your talking to newcomers-- Ubuntu has the bootloader, i think its grub-- should i start out on Ubuntu or using the live ubuntu cd or the other OS? [02:47] hi all [02:47] wols [02:47] wols_, did you receive my pastebins? [02:47] recoy: no clue what that means [02:47] Perff: which of your partitions is the linux / one? which one has your /boot? [02:47] wols_: the problem is it wants me to input a ip address for my "own server" and i dont know how or where to get my ip [02:47] NotSoGutsy, is thee a "configure" script available for your program? [02:47] Perff: I asked you tons of things and you never answered [02:47] eric, i'm going to capture a screenshot, and have you compare it [02:47] wols_: all on /dev/sda10 [02:47] chickenFuego :: no there is not [02:47] alright, thanks musikgoat [02:47] wols_: and while i run update-grub it said "Cannot determine root device. Assuming /dev/hda1 [02:47] " [02:47] does ubuntu have better HFS or UFS support? [02:47] well, the package libqt3-headers should do the trick. [02:47] nickrud, im thinking there'd have to be a setting somewhere that supersedes /etc/X11/default-display-manager [02:47] baudolino, that's a bug then. Search bugs.ubuntu.com for bugs filed against kdm , file one if you can't find it [02:47] Perff_last: then change the groot line in your mneu.kst to (hd0,9) and run update-grub again [02:48] hey there. when i use ndiswrapper i can connect to my only wpa2 network. i cannot connect to wep networks(it just asks me again for enryption). when i try to connect to my only wpa1 router, it kills it for 1-2 minutes(every client loses internet connection). using native drivers(rtl8187b-modified) ONLY wep works - but the driver is really buggy. connectivity etc. is not shown. using ndiswrapper i CAN connect to wep networks using iwconfig withou [02:48] t ANY problems. how come networkmanager cant handle it? using wicd does not help either, as it does neither work with "wepkey" nor with wepkey entered. how come there are noooooo tools available on this purpose? i mean, don't they have to simply follow 3 to 4 command-line commands? instead people get confused having to choose between 10 kinds of encryptions hex/ascii etc. i miss the way mac does it by simply asking to enter the protection key, a [02:48] NotSoGutsy, look at this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=qapplication.h&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=gutsy&arch=i386 [02:48] Perff_last: menu.lst rather [02:48] wols_: also, when i put in the other OS and run the installation, it only shows hd1 to install on-- I dont want it to overwrite ubuntu [02:48] s routers cannot have both wpa and wep activated. why should the user bother? any solutions to get nm to work with wep encrypted networks. i see some people having that problem. any alternatives to nm? somewhere i read, nm should be used with wext only. best regards and i appreciate your help! [02:48] orkun - learn how to be concise [02:48] mrdinkles: that's not our problem but the other OS' problem. ask their support [02:48] nickrud, lol just got it [02:48] bazhang: can u tell me how to find my ip cuz im a newbie lol [02:48] eric http://img212.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshottimcompy386lwp9.png [02:48] nickrud, my default-display-manager file was pointing to /usr/sbin/kdm [02:49] how do I do to clean all messages?????

[02:49] No, my bootsector is completely blank [02:49] wols_: fine, but how can i make a separate partition on ubuntu, that the other os can install on? [02:49] nickrud, and when i changed the default-display-manager file to /usr/bin/kdm its now fine [02:49] baudolino, yup, that is a bug alright. [02:49] nickrud, just wish I knew what triggered it heh [02:49] mrdinkles: with gparted or cfdisk [02:49] does anyone know how i can restore the privilege table in mysql on ubuntu? [02:49] eric, ok this is what a fat32 bootsector should look like [02:49] NotSoGutsy, and edit the MakeFile and replace "/usr/share/qt3/include" with "/usr/include/qt3/" [02:50] wols_: alright ill try it [02:50] eric: consisting of zeros? [02:50] wols_: using gparted-- do i need to be unmounted to make a partition? [02:50] yes wols [02:50] trying to share a external drive between OS X and Ubuntu - HFS support in ubuntu is lacking - how is UFS support for read/write? [02:50] eric: then the sdb1 is most likely not formatted [02:50] wols_: if its unmounted-- should i use the ubuntu cd, install gparted then unmount ?? [02:50] i have files on it... thats really wierd [02:50] why would fdisk see it? [02:50] nickrud, thanks a bunch for the help :) [02:50] wols_: i changed groot to hd(0,9), uncommented, rerun update-grub - but it reset everything (same menu.lst, and groot back to hd(0,0)) [02:50] wols_, and you ty as well :) [02:50] chickenFuego :: I installed that lsb-build-desktop3 package, and it seems to be compiling now [02:50] eric, do you have another computer? [02:50] baudolino, you mean the hand holding, you fixed it yourself :) [02:51] chickenFuego :: just really, really slowly :P [02:51] mrdinkles: what is unmounted? if you create a partition it is from unallocated space you cannot unmount since it was never mountable [02:51] not here [02:51] nickrud, lol well yeah pretty much :P [02:51] Anyone?? no help with the sound?? I've been trying to get this working since yesterday afternoon. I'm running Gutsy, and the sound that won't work is a Sigmatel STAC 9200 [02:51] Perff_last: I did NOT say to uncomment it [02:51] nickrud, got me thinking in the right direction :) [02:51] wols_: ok [02:51] wols_: so using gparted-- wilst on ubuntu, i can make a new partition of free space? and then install the other os on that separate partition? [02:51] wols_ didn't uncomment now. changed. still the same result [02:52] mrdinkles: sure. but the other OS should be able to partition on its own [02:52] wols_: no, sorry [02:52] wols_: i think eric said he could see the drive using the livecd? [02:52] wols_:not completely the same... funny: [02:52] root (hd0,9) [02:52] kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=/dev/hda1 ro quiet splash [02:52] yeah i could see it using the livecd [02:52] this whole thing doesnt make any sense [02:52] wols_:root is crazy, I don't have IDE disks [02:52] Perff_last: paste the full groot line as you edited it please [02:52] wols: When i attempted to let ubuntu partition itself it overwrote windows, i just dont wanna lose ubuntu =/ [02:53] anybody successfully got the Ipod Nano syncing with ubuntu?

It seems quite simple. making lists of files. [02:53] Perff_last: delete the kopt_2_6=root line [02:53] chickenFuego :: it seems to be working now :) [02:53] eric, seems odd, maybe testdisk would help [02:53] I know it's simple, the version I made didn't work nearly as well as this one seems to, though [02:54] im using opera as my main browser (system-preference-preferred application)... i recently installed the gimp help files and when i open it, it pops up in firefox, how do i change this? [02:54] mrdinkles: again, not a ubuntu problem [02:54] NotSoGutsy, cool ;-) [02:54] is that another package? [02:54] smultron: it installs other packages it's doesn't have anything in it just installs other ones to make it easier to install more then one really [02:54] eric http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [02:54] wols_: ok [02:54] noone experience with Ipod's ( NANO ) with Ubuntu ?

[03:12] nadio: it depends of you had --log set in iptables rule(probably not) [03:12] hi, in rhythmbox, is there a way to exclude a subfolder from the library (thinking: not have audiobooks in the library but contained in my audio folder)? [03:12] chickenFuego: okey thanks anyway for your help and time :) [03:12] heya Lumpy. :) [03:13] bascule: No I was just asking if it does that by default. [03:13] nadio, you can use etherreal to write to log files. [03:13] nadio: no, you have to state it [03:13] Notos: maybe this as well, looks more how to'ish http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem [03:13] tazz: Let me ask a dev about it... [03:13] nadio, ethereal with one "r" [03:13] wols: i tried what you suggested with the modprobe -r, then the modprobe and on modprobe i got a FATA l ERROR- Operation Not Permitted [03:13] musikgoat, lets see.... [03:14] bascule: thanks [03:14] tazz, as I understand it, there's only the core developers and the masters of the universe, no one person is "owns" a package like in debian [03:14] how do i add a keyboard shortcut to the show desktop command? [03:14] chickenFuego: I know of that app :) [03:14] l21logan99:start to think [03:14] chickenFuego: but thanks anywa [03:14] wols: i tried going through what they mention on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=614903&highlight=MT3421 with no luck [03:14] ah i see [03:15] wols: start to think about what? [03:15] Hello, I need someone to help with a DVD burning issue. Ubuntu refuses to recognize that there is a blank DVD-R in my burner. I have used normal DVDs, DVD+RWs, and DVD-RWs and DVD-Rs from this same spindle in the past, and tried multiple disks in an attempt to pin point the problem. Any ideas? [03:15] l21logan99: what you are doing. using your brain once in a while really helps [03:15] nibsa1242b: that sounds like a dvd driver problem [03:15] wols: i appreciate the help and understand that i am pretty bad at this stuff, but i tried doing it under "root" and "sudo: and nothing worked [03:16] nibsa1242b: can you burn this type of dvd in the dvd drive in windows? or another os? [03:16] musikgoat, so should i desactivate the Raid i set up on the bios? [03:16] !ndiswrapper [03:16] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [03:16] nickrud: ack, you stole my answer (I was asking a motu for tazz) [03:16] poningru: I've used the same exact brand of disk from the same spindle on this same drive in the past. I can burn this type of dvd in windows, and I've done it in Ubuntu before. [03:16] l21logan99: sudo mpdprobe -r bcm43xx" [03:16] i did that [03:16] network problem. can someone help? [03:17] i just installed gutsy and now any time i go to youtube it says that i need codecs... how can i fix that? [03:17] it worked but then the sudo modprobe failed [03:17] l21logan99: it won't let you remove a module that is depended upon by others, in lsmod you can see the dependees listed in brackets of a given mod [03:17] poningru: However, I'd rather not reboot just to burn dvd. I don't use windows for much of anything anymore, and I don't know if I currently have dvd burning sw installed. [03:17] judgement, paste the output of "sudo ifconfig" and describe your problem plz. [03:17] nibsa1242b: how are you attempting to burn it? === ajmorris_|AFK is now known as ajmorris_ [03:18] bascule: ok, so i am getting frustrated. what do i have to do to get the wireless working? [03:18] nibsa1242b: as in what software? [03:18] poningru: I've tried with k3b & Brassero, both applications I've used in the past. I'm trying to burn from an iso I created earlier today (and burned to a DVD-RW). [03:18] k3b? gnomebaker? [03:18] wols: what should i do to fix my current problem? [03:18] hi [03:18] Pici, didn't see your reply to him, sorry [03:19] nibsa1242b: can you right click on the iso and do burn to disk? [03:19] notos, if your mobo has hardware raid, that is different than the LVM software raid I'm discussing [03:19] what error does it give? [03:19] chickenFuego: well i have a router w/only one network plug in it. i tested out both pc. and they connect to the internet. but when i try to connect to the internet thru this pc it doesnt work [03:19] nickrud: Nah, just joking around, thanks :) [03:19] l21logan99: ifocnfig down the interface it currently provide. or simply reboot [03:19] l21logan99: for you, a reboot is easier me thinks [03:19] I am trying to get my laptop to connect to my wireless network, but i cannot, since i choose not to broadcast my SSID [03:19] Notos: hardware raid is probably better, but i have my doubts [03:19] Pici: got a sec in ops... [03:19] I got proprietary drivers for radeon 9600 installed, and I got xgl installed. do I need to install more for advanced desktop settings enabled? I cant get it to work!! [03:19] poningru: I'll try gnomebaker, never used it before. I think it'll give the same error. I don't even get the message when I insert the blank media about burning to it. [03:19] paladin_: in the wireless options you can type your ssid in [03:20] wols: ill try that, and should i do all the commands again? [03:20] I looked up the documentation pages, and wpasupplicant, however i cannot see my network manager [03:20] on the panel [03:20] how do i add it? [03:20] how do I re-enable nm-applet? I messed it up somehow [03:20] paladin_: just type it in, in wi-fi amnagement thingy say manual configure and go from there [03:20] ok.. how do i use a makefile?? [03:20] Ljorring, did you modprobe fglrx or reboot? [03:20] ogre: just do alt+f2 and then type in nm-applet and press enter [03:20] finchx6: cd dirwithmakefile/ && make && sudo make install [03:21] paladin_: ah, no networkmanger dock, well [03:21] i do not have a wi - fi management thingy === Rico is now known as Rico2 [03:21] yeah [03:21] finchx6: what are you trying to install? [03:21] nickrud: how do I modprobe? === Rico2 is now known as Rico1976 [03:21] these sound drivers released from alsa [03:21] poningru: I'm wondering if it might be a permissions/ automount issue. However, I can't remember how to check that. === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [03:21] finchx6: you should probably install build-essential first [03:21] !buildessential [03:21] Ljorring, sudo modprobe fglrx , log out, log back in. If all is good, you should be able to enable the effects [03:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about buildessential - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:21] How do I change the way that my filesystem/devices are set up? I have 400Gb on /home /dev/sd8 but only 5GB on / /dev/sda6, can i change this? [03:21] !buildessential [03:21] !build-essential [03:21] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [03:22] judgement, I can't help for routing problems... [03:22] !build-essential [03:22] right now i'm using an ethernet cable in a different room, however it isn't a permanent solution [03:22] paladin_: alt+f2 and then type in nm-applet [03:22] musikgoat, yah im thinking im going the Raid Way [03:22] installing another os with vmware does windows play games well on vmware? === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [03:22] kye: no [03:22] bascule: doesn't work [03:22] kye: it's emulation [03:22] emulation = bad [03:22] kye, not at all (the directx or opengl ones) [03:23] paladin_: run it from a shell instead of f2, see if there is any output [03:23] poningru:* well i guess nm-applet is working I just cant see any wireless connections [03:23] thank you [03:23] Notos: there is hardware raid, which you seem to have on your mobo, and there is the software raid we were discussing, the hardware raid would have nothing to do with ubuntu and you have to set that up within the BIOS or raid utilities [03:23] it didn't do it... [03:23] poningru: I've got gnome baker, I'm trying to figure out how to use it to burn an iso. [03:23] its not routing. i'm just trying to share the connection of this computer w/another computer [03:23] when I type 'fglrxinfo' in console, it logs out [03:23] Ljorring, ok. Do you have any compiz effects working? [03:24] logs out? you mean the terminal closes ? [03:24] judgement: you need to setup a packet forwarding firewall [03:24] judgement, you can do that with iptable and ipchain... [03:24] no, my whole interface is running graphically 'slow', like graphics is using no drivers [03:24] nm-applet isnt showing me my wireless connections. any idea how to fix it? [03:24] poningru: ok, I found the option and tried to burn it and it said ":-( /dev/hda: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0" === Ashfire908 is now known as Ashfire_Server [03:24] whats up guys [03:24] Ljorring, how did you install the accelerated driver?

[03:26] seems nice [03:26] Ljorring, erm. Did you do the --buildpkg Ubuntu/gutsy method ? [03:26] paladin__: well that snookers things a bit, need to use iwconfig [03:26] LiraNuna: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:26] it -is- nice [03:26] :D [03:26] that one fails [03:26] nm-applet isnt showing me my wireless connections. anybody have any idea how to fix it? [03:26] poningru: I'm googling that error msg now. Lots of responses, maybe one of them will help me fix it. [03:26] just a sec and I will fetch the error message, ok? [03:26] *sigh* that wasn't meant to be sent here anyhow. [03:26] ogre: if you are on a laptop, make sure the wireless card is turned on [03:26] ogre: is the wi-fi switched on. just a thought [03:27] bascule: sorry, just needed some time i guess "** Message: You are now connected to the wired network." [03:27] Pici, nickrud so who has the responisebility of updating a perticular package? The entire MOTU team? [03:27] nibsa1242b:* bascule I dont have a switch to turn it off on my lappy [03:27] because right now i'm using wired but in a different room [03:27] paladin__: are you o [03:28] hmm [03:28] Anyone got a second to help a n00b with an install question? I'm trying to install curl on 5.04 but I can't find the package. [03:28] .

[03:28] ogre: you don't have an FN+(some key) combo that turns it on and off? or a wireless light somewhere?

[03:28] musikgoat, yes i know but aparently i have to set up it with dmraid as this guide states http://wiki.eyermonkey.com/My_Ubuntu_(7.10)_Installation [03:28] could some one throw me a compiz instalation guied? [03:28] n3rdboi, for packages issues: check http://packages.ubuntu.com [03:29] judgement: packet forwarding firewall iptables [03:29] I have been on that exact guide for some hours now...

I'd look it up for you, but I'm sure someone else can field it faster. I'm trying to solve my own problem right now. [03:31] bascule: do you think i would have to use ndiswrapper? [03:32] nibsa1242b:* i guess i do have a wireless light & its on [03:32] Ljorring, that's the important point of those drivers. For me, their performance sucks so I went back to 8.37.6 from ubuntu [03:33] paladin__: well if you have a wifi0 or somw wifi dev showing no, else yes [03:33] ogre: ok well thats pretty much the extent of my suggestion... other then that make sure your router broadcasts the SSID... generally makes it easier to find for wireless cards === voltHeir is now known as voltHeir_afk [03:33] i think i found the problem, at boot the bcm43xx module doesn't load properly during startup [03:33] I should use the proprietary drivers from ubuntu?

No suspend with any ati in gutsy, so I went for performance [03:34] UbuntMe: that is not much info to go on--try running it from the terminal and giving error messages (pastebin them) [03:34] ogre: did u try and click on manual config?

[03:35] launch it from terminal [03:35] UbuntMe: try typing vlc for starters [03:35] I got it working once with proprietary drivers, and it was pure hell to get there... I will try and use the ubuntu suggested fglrx drivers now [03:35] so now my question is where do i get the bcm4311 module?

[03:46] Vaalth: save it as html :) [03:47] serenityUK, i thought that i just needed to run this script [03:47] * teh_mudkipz says hi [03:47] Vaalth your best bet will be to save it as an older format...maybe word 2000 or word xp, that can also be read by word2007 [03:47] Ljorring, now, sudo aptitude reinstall xorg-driver-fglrx ubuntu-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) libgl1-mesa . You aren't using the kernel module, so lets make sure you have the ubuntu stuff. [03:47] can ms office open html?

[03:47] serenityUK, ah ok. thanks again [03:47] Vaalth but I have often encountered problems with headers footers and tables [03:47] Syco np [03:47] bazhang: well a browser will, so it's readable :) [03:47] college: offtopic [03:48] bascule: good point ;} [03:48] Syco54645: forums are great.. look around [03:48] nickrud: done. status: no crash/error [03:48] hi [03:48] well thank you for your help :) [03:48] Vaalth word2003 xml is supported, but I don't think doc is [03:48] serenityUK, i did, i find them to be hard to search because they are too cluttered. i had searched for about 20 minutes before i came into here. [03:49] Ljorring, ok, now sudo modprobe fglrx . After that, log out and back in, and do the fglrxinfo again [03:49] I'm setting up ubuntu for the first time on a home theatre PC... I am not sure how to get ubuntu to recognize my USB RF wireless keyboard... [03:49] can anybody help? [03:49] Ljorring, for fun, hit ctl-alt-backspace while you're logged out [03:49] serenityUK, been looking for why the show desktop in the compiz doesnt work either. i tried to set it to a hot corner to no avail... it will show my application windows, just not the desktop [03:49] bazhang: I really am of the opinion that sending html docs to people is a way ahead for all compatibility issues [03:49] nickrud: just to understand a tiny bit... the 'modprobe fglrx' says 'use this driver', mkay? [03:49] nickrud: mkay ^ [03:49] bascule: agreed [03:50] Ljorring, not quite. It means use this kernel module, which the driver will make use of [03:50] Lennalf: does it require certain drivers--try plugging it in [03:50] nickrud: ah, ok [03:50] bazhang: it comes with drivers on a CD, but it was plug-and-play on Windows XP [03:51] Lennalf: plug in the base station and see if it works [03:51] ok, do the fglrxinfo and hope for ati on the driver [03:51] serenityUK, well the flash player is fixed. thanks again [03:51] sorry, base station? [03:51] nickrud: haha, what was that double ctrl+alt+backspace... 'the greeter thing crashed....' it popped up ^^ [03:51] nickrud: done* [03:51] Ljorring, that's KIll X Now [03:52] bazhang: sorry, base station? [03:52] how do i rename the keyboards in ubuntu? halp [03:52] nickrud: ahh... [03:52] Syco54645: nice one.... trying compiz here.. expo works if i set to top left corner bu not show deesktop hmmmm [03:52] Ljorring, what about the last line of fglrx [03:52] nickrud: OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1) [03:52] Lennalf: how does the wireless connect? to the cpu? likely to a dongle that you plug into a usb port, yes? [03:52] Not good. [03:52] nickrud: damn.. [03:53] bazhang: yes it is a USB dongle. It is listed in my hardware information screen [03:53] serenityUK, that is the same boat i am in... finding all of these annoyances. still better than windows though, linux has been for me for 7 years now. windows free! WOOOOOOOO! At any rate, I cannot figure out why the show desktop does not work. [03:53] sonja, on the top right, click "System->Preferences->Keyboard->Layouts" [03:53] serenityUK, the button on the panel works but not the hot corners nor the key combo [03:53] Ljorring, ok, put on the pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf , /var/log/Xorg.0.log , the output of lspci | grep -i vga [03:53] nickrud: on it [03:54] bazhang: It sees a Wireless Keyboard/Mouse in my USB UHCI Controller #2 [03:54] chickenFuego: ok i'm there, how do i rename them now? [03:54] Lennalf: try syncing it with the keyboard--there should be buttons on both base station and keyboard that may need to be pressed simultaneously [03:54] Syco54645: hmmm the button on the panel gives me a nice animation too.. they go to all 4 corners [03:54] Ljorring, when you did that aptitude install run, did it talk about unpacking and setting up the packages? [03:54] for example if i pick U.S. English Dvorak and I want to just rename it to Dvorak [03:54] and U.S. English rename it to Qwerty [03:54] bazhang: hmm okay, I'll look... [03:54] serenityUK, so that means that it works, just not correctly. i mean that is what it should do [03:55] Lennalf: so it works now? if it is recognized then just try using it--othewise try the sync [03:55] so when i go and switch between keyboards it shows the name, rather than swapping between USA and USA2 [03:55] Does anybody knows a good player that can support shoutcast and uses WinAmp skins? [03:55] bazhang: I'll try to sync... the button isn't clear.... one says ID... [03:55] sonja, click on the +Add button and you can select the keyboards you want from a huge list. [03:55] nickrud: I dont remember it so.. but not sure [03:55] DARKGuy: xmms [03:55] Syco54645: ah.... [03:55] DARKGuy: winamp? :} [03:55] Syco54645: crtl-alt-D ! [03:55] chickenFuego: yes i added the ones i want. i want to rename them now. [03:55] maverickAlex: but, does it have shoutcast integrated like BMPx? [03:56] bazhang: lol yes, but emulating it through WINE is just silly :p [03:56] Ljorring, run it again , you can do ctl-r fglrx to search back in the terminal for the command [03:56] DARKGuy: it can stream shoutcast but i don't know if its like BMPx [03:56] bazhang: no luck yet. Thanks for your help btw :) [03:56] serenityUK, well it doesnt work if i try to set it to something. and the hot corner does not work for that matter. that is what i really want. [03:56] ok [03:56] maverickAlex: well I guess I'll give it a try, thanks for the suggestion :p [03:56] Syco54645: if you goto general settings instead of the showdesktop plugin..... then actions... there is "Hide all windows and focus desktop" set to crtl-alt-D [03:57] DARKGuy: not sure about the skins, but amarok/rhythmbox should support shoutcast [03:57] xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49110/ [03:57] Lennalf: what keyboard by the way [03:57] nickrud: xorg.conf: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49110/ [03:57] what family should Intel Duo 32bit be placed in? [03:57] nickrud: xorg.log.0 : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49111/ [03:57] DARKGuy: check out streamtuner [03:57] serenityUK, what tool are you using. i am using the gldesktop thing because the other is way too bloated for my tastes [03:57] nickrud: lspci | grep -i vga : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 AQ [Radeon 9600] [03:57] nadio: a good and loving one [03:57] bazhang: It is the SpecResearch 01027; although the box actually says X-Gene :-P [03:57] bazhang: I've tried rhythmbox and it doesn't, dunno about Amarok yet - maverickAlex: Okay I will [03:58] Syco54645: no i'm using the advanced one [03:58] Syco54645: still not triggering with corner but works on keyboard [03:58] Ljorring, need to change the xorg.conf. do this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , when it's done , sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf , and look for ati. Replace with fgrlx [03:58] bascule: for kernel configuration, I doubt there is one. [03:58] serenityUK, well that one krunks my settings. i prefer the gldesktop. at any rate, i think it may be a bug. [03:59] nadio: well yoy can built x86_64 if you want [03:59] serenityUK, the ctrl alt d isnt that bad to have to hit, i just miss my hot corners (has a mac at work) [03:59] nickrud: roger [03:59] * bascule has a finger failure [03:59] hello? [03:59] Syco54645: you can change it to something easier like win+D [03:59] hi [03:59] http://www.altgamer.org/?p=1496&page=4 Lennalf this one? [04:00] Syco545654: you can set up the hot corners (If i am thinking of the same think as you) with compiz [04:00] nickrud: done [04:00] can someone help me out with a unichrome pro resolution issue? I have tried EVERYTHING :9 [04:00] serenityUK, i will do that tomorrow, i need to get up for work in a few hours. maybe i will get sick [04:00] serenityUK, thanks again for the help [04:00] I just cant get higher than 800X600 and I have tried everything [04:00] bazhang: yes :) [04:00] Syco54645: cya.. happy youtubing lol [04:00] paxton: if you have tried *EVERYTHING*, then no, there is nothing left [04:01] *every thing I know* [04:01] can you at lest help me out? I am totaly lost :( [04:01] Ljorring, now, do find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -iname '*fglrx*' , delete any you find. We're still using the wrong kernel module. === dealer is now known as boy [04:01] Using ubuntu 7.10. Created a separate partition and installed another OS onto it, How do i put that partition on the grub bootloader? [04:01] Lennalf: the writer of that article seems to suggest that it is no prob with ubuntu [04:02] nickrud: I found two files. I am to manually remove them? [04:02] paxton: tried xorg.conf changes, dpkg-reconfigureand all that stuff? [04:02] Ljorring, yes. Once we're sure we've gotten rid of any possible bad one, we'll reinstall the right one [04:02] mrdinkles: have you seen the GRUB factoid? [04:02] nickrud: sounds good to me :) [04:02] nickrud: on it [04:02] Yes, I have changed xorg.conf to driver via [04:03] and it boots xwindow, but no higher resolutions [04:03] bazhang: nope, what is it? [04:03] it only goes to 800 x 600 and lower [04:03] nickrud: done [04:03] !grub | mrdinkles [04:03] mrdinkles: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:03] paxton: have you added higher resolutions on the relevent sections of xorg? [04:03] bazhang: yeah... hmm :( I guess I'll just keep tinkering. Thanks for the help though. [04:03] nickrud: I am to do the sudoapt on the fglrx now? [04:03] i dont think so [04:03] Ljorring, sudo aptitude reinstall xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) libgl1-mesa [04:03] How could I do that?

[04:22] it was working fine, but then today it wont work :S [04:22] anyone else notice the quality difference in playing a dvd in ubuntu vs windows? [04:22] Ljorring, I found out that your 9600 has a bug that sometimes shows up when using the ati driver. [04:22] musikgoat➲ which one is better? [04:22] musikgoat I havent seen any [04:22] bazhang: I tried decrypting my file and the console keeps jamming up [04:22] Ljorring, so, run restricted-manager , and tell it to install the restricted ati driver [04:22] CarlFK: seems to be no downgrade facility, well no easy way, perhaps you need to update everything? [04:22] my quality of dvd's in totem-xine is pretty fuzzy [04:22] nickrud: ok, I will disable, then re-enable it [04:23] so, kernel upgrade issue, one worked fine, one did not. [04:23] nickrud: thats the procedure? [04:23] musikgoat, you sure your using the right video driver? [04:23] bazhang: it is fixed in the newer versions but im just wondering if theres a way around it [04:23] musikgoat➲ did you try vlc? [04:23] http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome/gpgp Extravert; also http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Chip/3708/gpgp/gpgp.html [04:23] Ljorring, run restricted-manager in a terminal, it should have a checkbox for using the restricted driver [04:23] let me install that, i didn't give it a try, that should work [04:23] bascule: um... isn't that was "sudo apt-get upgrade" does? [04:23] thanks kahrytan [04:23] musikgoat➲ I dont have an dvds myself :( [04:23] nickrud: oh, its not checked.. I will check the proprietary driver now [04:24] CarlFK: yeah, well it seems to be a bug, is this when you run a game? [04:24] sqlnoob: 4401 is the ethernet driver [04:24] nickrud: 'needs a computer restart' <-- brb [04:24] hmm, off my sw raid5 w/ 4 7200.10 500GB drives, i'm getting 136MB/s reads, 56MB/s writes ... [04:24] does that seem right? [04:24] musikgoat➲ but keep in mine. Linux uses libdvdcss2 .. ie a crack to css. [04:24] bazhang: oh yeah my bad, sorry [04:24] thanks [04:25] bascule: it's when X starts [04:25] CarlFK: nasty [04:25] bazhang: so I have to install the new version? [04:25] Extravert: are you on Gutsy? [04:25] bazhang: ya [04:26] * musikgoat <3 vlc!! thanks kahrytan [04:26] Extravert: that is the front end, ie the gui [04:26] bazhang: oh thanks =) [04:26] musikgoat➲ I love vlc too. plays most codecs thrown at it. no need to install gstreamer codecs. [04:26] Extravert: no worries ;} [04:27] vlc runs really nice for dvd's as well. Can't believe I only started using it a few months ago [04:27] Ok.. Gutsy laptop , running an e100 intel ethernet card, the link goes up and down and most times I do not have internet/networking, I cant seem to get internet nor networking to work correctly on this laptop, anyone have an idea [04:27] hi guys.. got this problem.. i already installed the restricted driver but still cant to display .. it works b4 but after i installed the nvidia driver from nvidia website cant make it work again [04:27] CarlFK: I read the paste,only thing for now is to go back to nv driver in xorg.conf [04:27] nickrud: now I got my 1280z1024 up running again [04:27] Delvien: Did you try to manually set a static IP address? [04:27] Delvien: could it be a router issue? [04:27] Ljorring, what does fglrxinfo say? [04:27] nickrud: I have sensed a difference now. the graphics seem to run smoother [04:28] I'm surprised with how popular Ubuntu is, that they don't have a netinstall :( [04:28] hocketfan5000 actually trying that now, :P [04:28] nickrud: OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6) [04:28] Ljorring, sucess! [04:28] nickrud: great stuff xD [04:28] bazhang router is fine, other 2-3 computers are accessing the internet and pinging eachother [04:28] kernel seems to not be mounting /proc and failing on others after that [04:28] Delvien, you might try "sudo echo 'blacklist intel_rng' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistand reboot. [04:28] Ljorring, now, sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl compizconfig-settings-manager emerald . Log out and back in [04:29] Delvien: you using the network manager? or via command line [04:29] bazhang net manager [04:29] Delvien, you might try "sudo echo 'blacklist intel_rng' >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklistand" reboot. [04:29] chickenfuego is that a known issue with that card or something? [04:29] nickrud: whats with the emerald? [04:29] Delvien, with the two >> !!! [04:29] hey [04:29] bascule: nv doesn't error, but now I don't get any output on the svideo port [04:29] Ljorring, it's a pretty window decorator, it'll be in the preferences menu [04:29] nickrud: I have never had that package installed I can see [04:29] nickrud: nice :) [04:29] Delvien: is this the computer you are on now? if so, how are you connected; if not, can you access that computer now [04:29] nickrud: relogging [04:30] bazhang no its another laptop i have connected to ethernet [04:30] Delvien, some ethernet wireless card on laptop have a problem with this (intel), It was making mycard hanging on boot and sometimes unstable. [04:30] bazhang yes i can access it [04:30] CarlFK: yeah, it's a workaround not a fix, a fix is way beyond me, but you could try a manual nvidia install with their own package [04:30] Delvien: open network, wep, wpa, wpa2 what [04:30] nickrud: now the graphics seem slow again... :S [04:30] CarlFK: after removing the ubunto one fo course [04:31] bazhang its not wireless, its ethernet [04:31] Ljorring: turn off compiz :} [04:31] Ljorring, do alt-f2 compiz --replace && emerald --replace [04:31] bazhang, ;p [04:31] nickrud: but the fglrx says OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6) [04:31] Delvien: ethernet wont work? I thought this was a wireless question... [04:31] bazhang nope, ethernet [04:31] Delvien, if you have the same message on boot with your intel network card... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/102982 [04:32] nickrud: done [04:32] Delvien: do you start up the computer with the ethernet cable plugged in, or plug it in after start up [04:32] bazhang: the app is so unstable. Just crashed and it doesnt import my key files [04:32] Ljorring, you should have different window borders [04:32] nickrud: the settings work xD though I feel some lag [04:32] nickrud: yep, I got some nasty red borders ^^ [04:33] bazhang with it already plugged in [04:33] nickrud: there is something, that my adapter doesnt like. I will have to investigate that [04:33] nickrud: but else it seems as if the compiz is working [04:33] Extravert: you want to import key files? from a trusted source? how about wget [04:33] Ljorring, it's even worse with the new ati drivers. Go to the emerald preference, pick a different one. then alt-f2 emerald --replace to change it [04:33] bazhang: its on my computer [04:34] Extravert: you want to import keys? [04:34] if i want to use an aptoncd backup for my packages, can i just insert a cdrom line in my sources.list? [04:34] bazhang: yes [04:34] Extravert: from a trusted source? [04:34] bazhang: /.gnupg/secring.gpg [04:35] Extravert: import means from an outside source, right? [04:35] Ahmuck: there is a way to do it specifically, can't remeber off hand bit synaptics/adept allow you to do this throught the sources options [04:35] nickrud: some of the other emerald borders doesnt like it [04:35] nickrud: can I for debugging turn of emerald? [04:36] bazhang: "Bad fd number" [04:36] chickenFuego that is for an ethernet card right? [04:36] Ljorring, it's probable that there's some file left over from the ati installer, I don't know where though [04:37] http://www.stillhq.com/extracted/gnupg-api/doc/faq.html Extravert take a read of that [04:37] no the FWH bug was for wireless intel card, but it is related to the random numbers generator or so.. might be also on yours? Check the if you get the FWH error message on bootmaybe? [04:37] nickrud: the emerrald effect is cool :) === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 [04:37] bazhang: dead link =( [04:37] Ljorring, yes, you can alter the themes yourself too [04:37] nickrud: I have gotten compiz to work now, and I am truly thankful for your time, nickrud [04:38] nickrud: but there is something crreating huge lag in the interface [04:38] nickrud: I will investigate that matter tomorrow... [04:38] bazhang: I should install 1.4.8 then [04:38] Ljorring, like I said, something left over most likely [04:38] The new flash plguin is really slow, can anyboy tell me how to get the older version? [04:38] http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/faqs.html Extravert [04:38] nickrud: do you know how to find it? [04:39] Anyone know what font Gvim uses by default? [04:39] some mono space [04:39] Hello. I'm getting no sound on my interweb browser. [04:39] bascule: yeah, I've got 100+ fonts on my system though and I can't find which one it is :-/ [04:40] Ljorring, not off the top of my head [04:40] Old_Gregg, within a flash video in your browser, you might have to right-click on it and select "allow access to ..." [04:40] nickrud: mkay [04:40] Ljorring, if nothing else, you've learned the danger of installing stuff that's not in a deb package :) [04:41] #ubuntu-ru [04:41] please anybody.....The new flash plugin is really slow, can anyboy tell me how to get the older version? [04:41] chickenfuego: no luck [04:41] chickenFuego heres the error "FWH not detected" [04:42] how do i install a bunch of TTF fonts i have on another hard drive to my ubuntu? [04:42] can i drag and drop them somewhere? [04:42] nickrud: yes, ofc :) and I have gotten smarter on the driver area [04:42] hai !!! quick question what kernel should i install for a Intel Q6600 *(Quad Core) [04:42] Delvien, do you have a lag at boot when it is displaying that? [04:42] #manado [04:42] sonja, in the fonts:// or fonts:/ dir is one way. [04:42] okay [04:42] nickrud: what I really would miss in ubuntu, is an interface from where you could manage all the driver issues [04:42] i'll hunt for that dir [04:43] Notos, standard? [04:43] chickenFuego not noticable, but lanchpad is telling me to blacklist intel_nrg so.. [04:43] sonja, enter it in the file manager. [04:43] #kristen [04:43] lauchpad?? [04:43] Hey, I'm wondering if I could partition my drive post-installation, and then install windows on that new partition...? [04:43] nickrud: cause you have to know the location of all the files & commands related to a driver issue [04:43] I have sound on World of Warcraft and up until tonight had sound on the internet [04:43] Ashfire908, no im using Debootstarp as in the FakeRaid Howto [04:43] nickrud: but thx for ur help :) I will surf around a bit [04:44] Ljorring, for nearly every driver, it's all automated. Just the ones from manufacturers that won't release specs are problematic [04:44] sonja: System->Preferences->Fonts->Details->Go to Fonts Folder [04:44] how do i open this file manager? [04:44] Dr_willis? [04:44] notos: ? idk then [04:44] nickrud: perhaps its also just me [04:44] nickrud: im new to ubuntu [04:44] After an update this morning, including a new kernel and headers, I can no longer load the nvidia graphics drivier [04:44] sonja where are you from ? [04:45] Toronto [04:45] Ljorring, so it's impractical to build handlers for unknown crap. No, it was that ati driver install [04:45] Ashfire908: well i think i will go with the apt-get linux-386 :( [04:45] (Canadia) [04:45] nice name ... [04:45] hello, how can i access the folder /Users/My Documents/ from an ubuntu livecd, i can see any other folder but some of the folders in /Users/My Documents/, is there anyway of jumping over the permissions? (sorry if this question is out of place) [04:45] hello [04:45] you, ultraz? [04:45] signal9, are you using the ones from nvidia? [04:45] sonja, the normal gnome file manager.. you use it every time ya click on a directory icon... type in fonts:/ in the address [04:45] Serbia [04:45] hi guys [04:45] Ok, that was close [04:45] ok thanks willis [04:45] * nickrud is a masochist [04:46] any way to make a partition post-installation? and then install another os on that partition... [04:46] yes, though installed using the restricted driver manager [04:46] notos: oh. is your sys a 64-bit? [04:46] i tried using the vesa driver, and It kept saying there was an xwindow running allready [04:46] sonja, installing/removing fonts under linux is so much nicer then how windows does it. :) [04:46] chickenfuego by blacklisting that it halfed my boot time, so i guess it was slowing it down lol [04:46] i have a problem, i updated my system today (i saw some linux headers in the updates), restarted and now it wont boot. Grub says: File not found [04:46] i got an error msg everytime i open the ubuntu it's about the setting deamon ..... and when i restart the computer everything goes alright [04:46] Delvien, so and is your card stable now?? [04:46] It kept saying that so i changed the xorg.conf back to via driver and it booted, but still in low res [04:46] Dr_willis: never did it, i will give it a try [04:47] Hi all... i have a minor issue..I just installed 64 bit version of ubuntu... and I can not get flash videos to play in firefox... swf and flash player and java are installed..any suggestions...? [04:47] Ashfire908: good question but i dont think so as i am runing the x86 live cd [04:47] chickenfuego looks like it [04:47] chickenfuego ill come back if its not :) [04:47] it also poped up a window when I stared up Ubuntu saying it was in low graphics mode [04:47] notos: then the 386 is fine. [04:47] notos: *the 386 is fine. [04:47] signal9, then you're using the ubuntu ones. My tidbit wouldn't help, sorry [04:47] I changed it to a higher resolution, tested it, and it worked [04:47] i got an error msg everytime i open the ubuntu it's about the setting deamon ..... and when i restart the computer everything goes alright? [04:47] then it went back to 800 by 600 [04:47] now i am lost again [04:48] guys i have enabled the restricted driver.. but still cant work.. [04:48] can someone help me install a .tar.bz2 file? [04:48] kr00l: what's the file? [04:48] Ashfire908, so it takes advantage of the 4 cores? [04:48] Can someone help me fix my resolution then.? [04:49] rainwalker: it's a "mupen64-0.5.tar.bz2" [04:49] anyone knows about the setting deamon ??? [04:49] kr00l, that file is an archive, it is like .zip and can contain anything from source code to executables [04:49] hamadooo: what about it? [04:49] paxton have u installed the restricted drivers [04:49] kr00l: never heard of it...what is it? [04:49] I think so, ill check again [04:49] Notos: 386 is the processor architecture. the amount of cores doesn't matter [04:49] Nintendo 64 emulator [04:49] so, I'm wondering if this morning's kernel updates just bork the nvidia driver outright? [04:49] rainwalker: can you help me install it [04:49] IT says it has no restricted drivers [04:50] kr00l, right click and "extract here" and see what you get [04:50] ifireball .. i have an error msg everytime i try to log in .. and it tells me to restart and when i restart everything goes alright [04:50] kr00l: well first I'd say to extract the archive and see if there's anything in it telling you how to install [04:50] kr00l: problematic with Ubuntu--install at your own risk [04:50] but I am still at 800 by 600 :( [04:50] wat video card are u using [04:50] Notos: (except the cell processor in the ps3. (8 are cell cores and one is powerpc)) [04:50] bazhang: what's problematic? [04:50] I am using a via unichrome pro igp s3 [04:50] rainwalker: OK [04:50] rainwalker: mupen :} [04:50] Ashfire908, oh thanks the so no need to complie a kernel after install ? [04:50] bazhang: how so? [04:51] hamadooo: can you log in after you restart? [04:51] rainwalker: doesnot work [04:51] the kernel is the one thing they should release new instead of updating, at least you could go back to the old one [04:51] Notos, why do you think you need to? [04:51] bazhang: ah...I can see how that might be problematic haha [04:51] hehe [04:51] ifireball yes i can .. but i have to restart the computer everytime i open the ubuntu [04:51] can someone help me then [04:51] Hello. Can someone help me? I have no sound whatsoever. [04:51] bazhang: :( I got the firmware but i havent been able to install it so I can enable the card, i've looked online but when i do "sudo make install" the packet throws C programming errors [04:51] !ask [04:51] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [04:52] bazhang: I don't think my install is working as it should =/ [04:52] !sound | Old_Gregg [04:52] Old_Gregg: 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 [04:52] Ashfire908, i dont know before when Warty was new there where linux-image-dual and the like if i remeber corectly [04:52] Scratch that, I have sound in World of Warcraft, but no where else. [04:52] I asked if someone would help me fix my resolution, but nobody is helping :( [04:52] ifireball it's some thing about gnome .. cuz when i tells me the error msg .. i lost all the icon and color [04:52] * nickrud hugs his laptop, it's so generic [04:52] hamadooo: let me see if I get this right: comp on -> log in -> log out -> can`t log in back ? [04:52] hi [04:52] nickrud: what laptop? [04:53] i fanyone is here i need a hand with something kind of newb :/ [04:53] * paxton bashes his laptop with a thick book. he now hates via [04:53] jhhh: go ahead and ask [04:53] I just installed tonight to check out an alternative to vista because i think its total garbage [04:53] jhhh: the any key is actualy not on the keyboard. use the enter key instead [04:53] rainwalker, a gateway (looks at the bottom) mt6451 [04:53] and i somehow corrupted my display -- and i cant see anything on it now, and i cant figure out a way to reset it to defaults :/ [04:53] Idleone: I have no sound in anything but World of Warcraft, which leads one to believe (and I have verified) all settings are go. Additionally, I had sound last night. Now I don't. Nothing has changed. [04:53] IdleOne :P [04:53] nickrud: Inspiron 8600 haha [04:53] hamadooo: these errors usually come about when it has trouble reading/writing to your home dir [04:53] ifireball first time i log in it gives me an error msg that gnome could not find something and you have to restart the computer in order to fix the problem [04:53] rainwalker, the salesman let me boot an ubuntu live cd [04:53] how do i check load cycles on ubuntu? [04:53] Notos, warty was a looooonnnnggggg time ago.... (i started using ubuntu at 6.10) [04:54] nickrud: my now installed drivers, fglrx, seem to do just fine without xgl - and without the desktop effects. when I then install the xgl without effects, it seems to lag, like something is wrong... can you come up with a hint? [04:54] jhhh: not that noob? :P [04:54] if anyone can show me how to kill my gnome settings id appreciate it [04:54] Notos, you don't nned to compile [04:54] sqlnoob: which thing did you install? the firmware from the repos? or something else [04:54] i have a problem, i updated my system today (i saw some linux headers in the updates), restarted and now it wont boot. Grub says: File not found [04:54] omg... so nobody is going to help me with the resolution on my via unichrome pro igp s3 then [04:54] jhhh: why do you want to do that? [04:54] Ljorring, let me see both logs, maybe something will jump out [04:54] i tried killing .gnome .gnome2, etc...but it keeps going to the edited settings [04:54] ifireball ok and do you know how can i fix this problem [04:54] how do i check load cycles? [04:54] well i want my screen back so i can see :> [04:54] Old_Gregg: I know the factoid. that about it sorry [04:54] nickrud: ok, 2 sec [04:54] paxton: relax. be patient.

[04:55] I understand that, but I have messed with this all day, and every thing i try doesnt work [04:55] hamadooo: well, we still need to figure out what the problem is exactly...

[05:08] hamadooo: ok, so it seems you got everything in one big partition [05:08] yes that what i did when i install ubuntu [05:08] hamadooo: I'm going to need you to run some mildly difficult experiment [05:08] ok [05:08] Ok, now for another question that may seem kind of newbish -- I run on a laptop (1920x1200), and it runs fine on the laptop screen, but doesn't seem to want to acknowledge the external monitor i have plugged into it. I usually leave my laptop closed and use the big monitor. Any ideas? === Pseudo is now known as Lleumas [05:09] hey, is anyone getting the "inconsistent filesystem structure" error in GRUB after this last kernel update? [05:09] Flannel: yes i am but im the server install, no X. ls /mnt/boot/ [05:09] abi-2.6.22-14-generic grub initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic.bak System.map-2.6.22-14-generic [05:09] jhhh: is that a sony, just as a matter of interest?

You're in a server install? what? [05:10] hamadooo: 1. turn foo comp; 2. start up ubuntu; 3. go to text mode with ctrl+alt+f1; 4. login there with your user; 5. try to write a file with "touch filename.txt"; 6. come back here and tell me if it gave you any error [05:10] 2407wpf 24" wide [05:10] * rainwalker agrees with nickrud, and is glad he held off updating [05:10] hamadooo: I mean turn comp off* [05:10] * bascule has yet to reboot after updating ... [05:10] ok i'll do it [05:10] brb [05:10] rainwalker, I always wait on kernels since the dev's want to replace the old ones, not give us new ones :( [05:10] Flannel: the machine has Ubuntu 7.10 and Ubuntu server 7.10, im in the server install. [05:11] hamadooo: make sure you write down the exact error [05:11] up 5 days, 7:20, 1 user, load average: 0.16, 0.19, 0.21 [05:11] nickrud: what do you mean? [05:11] is there any tutorial to create wireless hotspot using ubuntu? [05:11] how do i get a wireless manager? [05:11] 4 ubuntu? [05:11] Nergar: thats... interesting. Why would you have two different Ubuntu installs on the same box? anyway... pastebin /boot/grub/menu.lst [05:11] rainwalker, bump the point release, like -14.1-generic , so we can keep the old -14-generic just in case. [05:11] hi [05:12] good morning every one [05:12] yuuk [05:12] nickrud: I'm confused... [05:12] can any one please help me how can i login as admin [05:12] bazhang: I can't uninstall gpg? [05:12] !root | aram [05:12] aram: 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 [05:12] aram login where? [05:13] sudo su [05:13] i just want to install yahoo massanger [05:13] rainwalker, we can have more than one kernel in grub, and choose between them, like the normal and recovery choices. [05:13] and it says i need to login as root [05:13] i am just new user [05:13] just about a week [05:13] aram: pidgin not doing it for you? [05:13] aram: pidgin supports the yahoo messenger protocol [05:14] nickrud: oh, yeah, I knew that; but what were you saying about replacing old ones? [05:14] sorry [05:14] Doctor_Nick: sudo -i would be preferable to sudo su [05:14] I'm trying to install gutsy on a new machine with an 8400GS and as soon as I select "start or install ubuntu" or "safe graphics mode" i just get a blank screen [05:14] how do i set my videos to open with vlc instead of other program when i double click them? [05:14] aram: Ubuntu doesn't use the root password, just use sudo. [05:14] yahoo messenger???? yea use pidgin aram [05:14] what does pidgin mean [05:14] wow seems to be a lot of ubuntu updates after fresh install [05:14] sudo make me a sandwich [05:14] aram: Applications -> Internet -> Pidgin [05:14] jhhh: Thats because there have been a lot of fixes since October [05:14] rainwalker, the new kernel that's just been release replaces the current one, rather than getting installed alongside. [05:14] sonja jajajaja [05:14] jhhh, every security update :) [05:14] sonja: right-click open with [05:14] flannel, im doing that now [05:14] sonja: in nautilus, right-click on the file and choose Properties, and under the Open With tab, choose VLC [05:14] maybe that will fix some of my screen issues [05:14] ok i got the error C compiler cannot create executables [05:15] how do i set it to permanently always open with that new program as default behaviour [05:15] ok thanks rain [05:15] but there is no pedgin n this address tritium [05:15] wldx: You'll need to install build-essential [05:15] wldx: install build-essential [05:15] aram: address? [05:15] rainwalker, anyway, we're a bit off topic [05:15] wldx: you broke it with flags? [05:15] Flag? [05:15] aram go to [05:15] im new to this so if i have dumb questions, just say thats dumb and give me an answer anyway :> [05:15] tritium:i mean there is no pedgin in application>internet [05:15] aram : Aplications> internet> Pidgin [05:16] aram: Pidgin is neat in that it can handle all different kinds of chat accounts. you can have your yahoo, aim, etc. accounts all in one place [05:16] aram: Pidgin Instant Messenger [05:16] jhhh, lol, there are no stupid questions, just a fear of appearing stupid :) [05:16] wldx: forget it, install build-essential [05:16] jhhh: no dumb questions. ask and someone will answer if they can [05:16] alfermp there is not any prgram with pedgin name [05:16] hey can somebody help me, i an't get hibernate/suspend to work [05:16] oh i have no fear of that heh [05:16] where i get ir [05:16] t* [05:16] aram: are you running gutsy (7.10)? [05:16] aram do u use ubuntu? [05:16] wldx, synaptics [05:16] k [05:16] tritium :no it is 7.04 [05:16] nickrud: wait, so the 2.6.22-14 update listed in my update manager replaces what? [05:16] yes i use ubuntu# [05:16] aram: it was called "gaim" in 7.04 [05:16] anybody? b/c i can't get my laptop to go into suspend [05:17] it says that i don't have access to effect that policy [05:17] wldx: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware [05:17] ok thanks so much [05:17] wldx: it's in the repositories [05:17] tritium : is there any root user in ubuntu [05:17] yea [05:17] But does anyone know the answer to what I asked before about using external monitors? I want my laptop closed and to use the big screen -- but it doesnt appear to operate...shows the load screen, but then goes dead and reverts to the laptop screen, pressing fn-f8 doesnt seem to switch it properly, either. [05:17] sudo su [05:17] thanks alfermap [05:17] aram: No, the root account is locked. Use sudo instead. [05:17] aram: then it will be under Applications > Internet > Gaim instant messenger [05:17] rainwalker, 2.6.22-14 . I would prefer a 2.6.22-14.1 , so if it fails, I can go back to 2.6.22-14 [05:17] sorry what is sudo [05:17] no problem aram gaim is the old version from pidgin [05:18] !sudo | aram [05:18] Gaim is now pidgin [05:18] aram: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [05:18] aram: do not use sudo su, please [05:18] irrc, we used to get them [05:18] nickrud: will we get a 14.1? [05:18] can somebody help me get my laptop to go into suspend/hibernate mode [05:18] rainwalker, no idea [05:18] i get a message that i am not able to effect that policy [05:18] tritium :why [05:18] aram: sudo -i is preferred [05:19] nickrud: well I'm going to hold off updating, then. thanks for warning me :) [05:19] aram: I wrote some instructions on a private message.. read it.. check your windows [05:19] bascule and rainwalker how do i set it to permanently always open with that program as default behaviour in future double clicks?

[05:20] schmick where ? [05:20] whats a good xwin based irc client for ubuntu, i see a few in the install packages, which is pretty good?

I thought you wanted to get the most recent one. [05:26] nickrud: lucky! [05:26] because currently i run ubuntu with virtual mashine [05:26] you guys [05:26] nickrud: you have different partitions for your server and desktop install? [05:26] that's ok aram [05:26] bazhang: it removes critical components [05:26] because i have got difficualty to install ubuntu on my actual system [05:27] Flannel: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2899/ [05:27] i need to separate a video file (avi) but i dont know hwo to [05:27] Nergar: you have different partitions for your server and desktop install?

[05:28] ok schmick i will come again now [05:28] aram: xchat is setup to automatically connect to this channel [05:28] bazhang: When im decrypting a file, the console becomes filled with unicode and at the end the console becomes corrupted. [05:28] sainzeo: I didn't know that, cool [05:28] Nergar: Please, yes. And, is this /boot/grub/menu.lst? or /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst?

[05:29] thanks it works now [05:29] Flannel, a chainloader for an ubuntu server? [05:29] hi [05:29] !channels [05:29] A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines [05:29] hey aram_ [05:29] i am comming again [05:29] aram_: everything working? [05:29] aram_: well done! [05:29] nickrud: I'm a bit confused by that as well. Also the fact that his desktop and server are both on the same partition. [05:30] ok i have got another problem with installing ubuntu [05:30] yes every this is ok thanks a lot [05:30] rainwalker: ill do that right now [05:30] but the only problem is i can not type that much fast [05:30] and you are all so fast [05:30] :) [05:30] aram: good job ^___^ [05:30] aram_: practice haha [05:30] ok.. can you see the private message now?.. in the list on the left? [05:30] Flannel, I could see using a server kernel on the same partition, same packages otherwise and all [05:30] do i install xchat or xchat-gnome? [05:31] that was what i was thinking about [05:31] aram_: also, if you need to type names really fast, you can start typing and press Tab and it will complete it for you [05:31] * GreySim thinks xchat-gnome is nicer, personally. [05:31] jhhh: xchat [05:31] jhhh: i've found "xchat" to much more friendly to the eyes than "xchat-gnome" [05:31] jhhh: xchat [05:31] Flannel: it is /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst (ubuntu). heres my disk: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2900/ [05:31] * nickrud holds up a cross towards GreySim [05:31] jhhh: xchat-gnome is horrible [05:31] nickrud: Theyre on separate partitions, or thats what he said. Except thats not what his grub reflects. It is what the contents of his /boot supports though [05:31] rainwalker what does that mean [05:31] Heh, I'm not surprised to be in the minority on that one actually. [05:32] if i pres tab what would happen [05:32] * GreySim should've thought about that before making recommendations to others. [05:32] hey there's an Ubuntu Me . cool :D [05:32] aram_: if yo need to type out someone's name, like "rainwalker", instead of typing out the whole word you can type "rain" and press tab and it will finish the word for you [05:32] now i found a new error [05:32] error: *** termcap support not found [05:32] rainwalker: thanks a lot [05:32] aram_: TAB auto completes names of ppl in the chat [05:32] thats is gera [05:32] great [05:32] Nergar: alright, this is what you need to change on your mounted boot's menu.lst, change lines 131 and 137 to be hd0,2 [05:32] ok [05:32] aram_: yeah, it really helps :) [05:33] robdig: Those instructions do not work, thanks. [05:33] rainwalker, never knew that either - thanks for the tip [05:33] aram_: .. did you receive the private message now? [05:33] aram_: did you see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3978530#post3978530 [05:33] nickrud: and then the other interesting thing is its actually trying to boot his home partition, for both of them (server is hd0,5, desktop is hd0,2) [05:33] rainwalker: no [05:33] how can i see it [05:33] sainzeo: you're welcome :) [05:33] aram_: click the link [05:33] is fedora a good platform for the redhat certifications? Or do I need the retail version? [05:33] ok now [05:33] Nergar: and I'm a bit amazed you've been able to boot your server at that, for the record. [05:33] im all updated, i have xchat installed [05:34] rainwalker: which link [05:34] now -- how the hell do i get my external monitor to work :> [05:34] aram_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3978530#post3978530 [05:34] Flannel, that is a world class interesting menu.lst [05:34] Flannel: why? [05:34] Consty: out of topic, but no, you need the real RHEL [05:34] ifireball: Sorry wrong channel.. meant to say it in #fedora :) [05:34] Nergar: because you're trying to boot to your home partition, instead of your server one. [05:34] ifireball: Thanks though! [05:34] rainwalker: i have opend it [05:34] Any other ideas to get DVD playback to work? [05:34] I've obviously missed a pastebin somewhere [05:35] Nergar: hd0,6 is sda7, hd0,5 is sda5. If this works (the hd0,2), we need to make it permanent [05:35] test [05:35] keithclark: have you tried using VLC? [05:35] Flannel: lol! [05:35] aram_: that's just a thread about keeping your system up-to-date, and the different ways you can install software [05:35] the other problem i have got is that i can not install ubuntu on my system [05:35] Flannel: I pasted it wrong!

Lines 131 and 137 "root (hd0,6)" is the current contents [05:39] keithclark, "Ubuntu restricted extras" is different than "Restricted Drivers Manager" [05:39] aram: yeah it should help [05:39] Nergar: and again, if that works, we need to make it permanent [05:39] Flannel: ok, gona try [05:39] <_Casey_> what happens when my volume thingy says "No volume control GStreamer plugins/and or devices found" [05:39] zero0x: sent [05:39] noor :thanks [05:39] sainzeo, ok.

[05:42] i mean what should i type [05:42] is there something like a "grub repair" tool, that reconfigures grub after it [05:42] 's been messed up? [05:42] aram_: search for "job control turned off" [05:42] sainzeo, it was already added. [05:42] Flannel: but why did it happened? [05:42] Doctor_Nick: Define messed up? [05:42] rainwalker: thanks a lot [05:42] whas it the update? [05:42] ah, I have to sleep now, g'night all! [05:42] aram_: no problem [05:42] Nergar: Does that work? [05:42] bye rainwalker [05:42] peace [05:42] and also because i have just began to learn linux # [05:42] <_Casey_> ok no help i guess :/ [05:42] what do I type in terminal to re-enable wireless? I installed a security hardening tool and it disabled wireless then I removed tool [05:42] <_Casey_> ogre [05:42] keithclark, open a terminal window (Applications - Accessories - Terminal), then type vlc [05:43] <_Casey_> use modprobe [05:43] hi, in windows I use traceroute domain, how about ubuntu? [05:43] i want to learn the linux which is the best for networking [05:43] Flannel: I'm getting the problem with not being able to boot after the kernel header upgrade, inconsistent filesystem structure [05:43] <_Casey_> and your wireless driver name [05:43] tracepath [05:43] keithclark, that should start VLC up - attempt to open a DVD and watch what the terminal displays when VLC crashes [05:43] but my menu.lst has the correct values, correct drive and uuid [05:43] vlc started but when I tried to open the disc, it just shut itself down [05:43] <_Casey_> mine is "modprobe ipw3945" [05:43] could you help me which version is the best linux for networking and security [05:43] _Casey_: it could be muted [05:43] i like xchat btw [05:43] <_Casey_> no its not muted [05:43] Doctor_Nick: I see. I imagine thats not a GRUB issue. If I had to pick something, that is. [05:43] Flannel: haven't tried. [05:43] Doctor_Nick: vesious stuff comes up when you do grub on terminal, I didn't try any of those so you'll need to research then a little with man/google [05:43] <_Casey_> keith [05:43] _Casey_, I have the same nic [05:43] now plz get my external monitor working gurus :> [05:43] !best | aram_ [05:43] aram_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [05:43] <_Casey_> ogre [05:43] Doctor_Nick: various* [05:43] <_Casey_> type "modprobe ipw3945" [05:43] in xubuntu where is the volume ? tried adding an applet to the panel but it's a no-go [05:44] no i mean the best os [05:44] <_Casey_> keithclark try xine [05:44] Flannel: be right back [05:44] <_Casey_> sudo apt-get install xine-ui [05:44] for example suse ,debian,ubuntu ,fedora [05:44] has there been an official statement on these issues with not being able to boot after these upgrades, it seems that alot of people are getting htem [05:44] i have mcse for windows xp [05:44] _Casey_, then what? [05:44] keithclark, i believe i know what the problem is but i'm trying to remember what the fix was...VLC will work fine though once we figure that out [05:44] sorry windows 2003 server [05:44] Anyone mind helping a n00b get their Siemens SS1022 USB working in Ubuntu? [05:44] ok, why is it when I plug headphones in sound comes out both the normal speakers and the headphones on my laptop [05:44] aram, hush..lol [05:44] and just want to leran about linux as well [05:44] <_Casey_> it should be on [05:44] anyone know a good software based spam filter that will tie into evolution (or should I use firefox email client?) recommendation? [05:44] sainzeo, libdvdread: Encrypted DVD support unavailable. === brian__ is now known as upt1me [05:45] My system is simply screwed up, is there a way to use linux update even though I'm up to date? [05:45] Nergar: Alright, well, if it does, you need to change line 74 the same way. That'll make it permanent. As it why it happened, I imagine something got crossed up in your server install that made it edit this boot instead. Why do you have two different installs anyway? They'll happily coexist on the same partition(s) [05:45] is hotplugging of wacom tablets achievable in 7.10? i have read through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WacomTabletIssue and a few other resources & have only one problem: [05:45] i just want to start from that one which is best for me any suggestion [05:45] ? [05:45] <_Casey_> !hdaintel > _Casey_ [05:45] which linux is best for networking ? [05:45] the graphire 4 tablet is plugged into a monitor & when it comes back from power save mode, it loses it's "relative" mode [05:46] aram_: what kind of networking are you trying to do? [05:46] domain [05:46] heya, very quick noob question for anyone who knows this: What file are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc... [05:46] aram_: Any linux version that uses TCP/IP should be good...;-) [05:46] i know what do you mean [05:46] aram_: "networking" is such a huge word, you have to be more specific [05:46] but i heard that some one says for example [05:46] aram_: like a domain controller? [05:46] is there a way to use linux update even though I'm up to date? (To download new system files) [05:46] yes in two ways [05:46] Does anyone know how to get a SS1022 wireless adapter working under Ubuntu 7.10? [05:47] security and domain controller [05:47] <_Casey_> !wireless [05:47] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs === Dark is now known as Memot [05:47] keithclark, try typing in the terminal: sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 [05:47] aram_: if you want it to "join your windows domain" Ubuntu may not be the best choice, it can do that it it lacks the tools to make it easy to accomplish [05:47] thx [05:47] for example the one which most people use them as server [05:47] for big comapny [05:47] <_Casey_> gah i want my sound issue fixed [05:48] SUSE Enterprise is fairly popular [05:48] that is the thing [05:48] aram_: you can you samba or openLDAP [05:48] Can anyone tell me if i can run the downloaded version of Gutsy Ribbon as a live CD? [05:48] aram_: most "big companies" use RedHat/Suse for "big servers" nowdays [05:48] i want to start from the one which would be the best choise [05:48] best choice depends on your skill level [05:48] i have suse 10.3 [05:48] i need help T___T on how to Corp a video [05:48] keithclark, what did that command do for you? [05:49] aram_: FreeBSD hehe [05:49] sorry open suse [05:49] sainzeo, i will try [05:49] how long until ubuntu updates? [05:49] hockeyfan5000: what do you mean ? [05:49] ok, why is it when I plug headphones in sound comes out both the normal speakers and the headphones on my laptop [05:49] sainzeo, already installed the latest version [05:49] <_Casey_> greenman [05:49] keithclark, damn...umm... [05:49] <_Casey_> be lucky, i have no sound anymore [05:49] has anyone had any luck getting tablet input devices to keep their settings when the USB comes back up from power save, etc.? [05:49] Can anyone tell me if i can run the downloaded version of Gutsy Ribbon as a live CD? [05:49] wait no not corp i just need help taking a scene from a video and just saving that scene [05:50] sainzeo, it is not a total loss. I can always do video under pclos. [05:50] sainzeo, video worked out of the box there. [05:50] in other for example if try to work with ubuntu [05:50] aram_: if you really want to learn to be a sysadmin, I suggest starting by reading a basic UNIX book that will teach you the basics of file permissions/devices/etc. [05:50] and leran how to do things [05:50] sorry to butt in, but I have a quick noob question: What files are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc... [05:50] ifireball: thanks [05:50] I have a gig of ram and 30/60 gb of space free on my hard drive, and a 1.5 gb swap partition. Firefox (most of the time) and other programs sometimes stop responding a lot and Pidgin sometimes randomly closes. Any ideas as to why this happens so much? Should I try Firefox 3? [05:50] Memot, it depends on which version you downloaded....the server version can't, the desktop version IS a LiveCD [05:51] i mean if i learn ubuntu would all the linux use same method [05:51] sainzeo, I was warned about dvds and wireless in Ubuntu before installation. [05:51] like some basic method [05:51] hello again.. i installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run from there site.. and it mess up my display.. it wont detect the driver and displays 800x600 only.. how can i enable again the driver... plss [05:51] Geoffrey2: Thanks :-) === matti_ is now known as matti [05:51] sorry guys i am asking some simple and rediculous quistion [05:51] hola [05:51] Memot: yes. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [05:51] keithclark, well i know it works fine as I've been using, but at the same time, I had your same problem and was able to fix it so I"m trying to remember what i did haha [05:51] but i am new to linux and dont know any thing about it [05:51] aram_: the basics are the same for all Linux/Unix systems [05:51] que pasa hola [05:52] <_Casey_> is there some command to reenable sound or something === xara is now known as Liz [05:52] sainzeo, thanks for trying. I had no issues with the wireless or my ATI card, so they were wrong about those two! [05:52] ifireball: if i learn how to work with ubuntu would it be the same as suse [05:52] !es | hockeyfan5000 [05:52] hockeyfan5000: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [05:52] aram_: in so respects, yes [05:53] ifireball: thanks a lot [05:53] aram_: but there are differences, for example, package management is different [05:53] hello again.. i installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9755-pkg1.run from there site.. and it mess up my display.. it wont detect the driver and displays 800x600 only.. how can i fix this [05:53] aram_: but if you understand what "package management" is, learning a new system is easy [05:53] ifireball: do you think ubuntu is nice one i mean good chose for me for start [05:53] or no [05:53] alain: if you want support here, use the ubuntu packages, not nvidia .run files [05:54] no i dont under stand [05:54] hmm [05:54] Flannel, back to my desktop!! [05:54] I have a gig of ram and 30/60 gb of space free on my hard drive, and a 1.5 gb swap partition. Firefox (most of the time) and other programs sometimes stop responding a lot and Pidgin sometimes randomly closes. Any ideas as to why this happens so much? Should I try Firefox 3? [05:54] i need to check which partition the other OS is on-- I.e (hd0, 1 or 2 or 3)-- any ideas? [05:54] aram_: yes, it is a very good choice to start with [05:54] for the life of me i cant get my external monitor to work with this, does anyone have a similar situation?" [05:54] Wow [05:54] sorry to butt in, but I have a quick noob question: What files are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc... [05:54] aram_: its a good starting point because of the emphasis put on making stuff "just work" it'll mean you'll have to solve less problems on the get go [05:54] ifireball: how can i find informatin about packege managment [05:54] keithclark, okay i think this is what I did to fix it...in the terminal, type: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh [05:54] Ubuntu is not even installed and my internet is faster. [05:55] tritium: i want to use the restricted package again.. i enable it on the administration section but still wont fix.. [05:55] aram_: personally, I'm still rather a newbie at linux, and I really like Ubuntu because you can set up a working system without having to learn a brand new language first [05:55] Naming of Ubuntu makes everything faster :P [05:55] sainzeo, I tried that and got an error [05:55] Memot: do you have a question? this is a support channel [05:55] keithclark, what was the error? [05:55] oh, and another thing -- anyone know a ntfs file reader so i can access my ntfs partition and copy some files over? [05:55] aram_: the same way you find information about anything nowdays... google :P or wikipedia maybe [05:55] ifireball: hehe [05:55] jhhh: ntfs-3g [05:56] thank a lot [05:56] sainzeo, command not found [05:56] bazhang: found the solution! gpg --decrypt-files [05:56] ifireball: you know i have heard most of the people saying [05:56] lol thats already installed and working...dumb of me :> [05:56] Extravert: great news! [05:56] i need to check which partition the other OS is on-- I.e (hd0, 1 or 2 or 3)-- any ideas? [05:57] thats linux has much more security that windows [05:57] mrdinkles: sudo fdisk -l (thats a lower case L) [05:57] now srsly, stop ignoring my plea for help with my external monitor :> google returns about 50000000000 hits on it :( [05:57] bazhang: I think you have to use that when decypting archives [05:57] bazhang: I just asked something, i'm just commenting it, i am still here to ask any further questions. [05:57] keithclark, sorry about that, i made a mistake type this instead: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [05:57] I have a gig of ram and 30/60 gb of space free on my hard drive, and a 1.5 gb swap partition. Firefox (most of the time) and other programs sometimes stop responding a lot and Pidgin sometimes randomly closes. Any ideas as to why this happens so much? Should I try Firefox 3? [05:58] Flannel, thanks for the help, i think the problem was in grub root (hd0,6) maybe thats what happened [05:58] ifireball: like they say it is not that easy to hack as windows is [05:58] <_Casey_> can you uninstall the alsadrivers and reinstall them? [05:58] T1m0thy: do a memory test [05:58] <_Casey_> yes, no? [05:58] Nergar: That is. Did you change it in line 74? That got changed, and then the update commited those changes to the menu itself. But, why do you have a separate server/desktop install anyway? [05:58] sainzeo: No prebuilt binary available. Will try to build and install it. [05:58] You need to have debhelper and fakeroot installed. [05:58] If not, interrupt now, install them and rerun this script. [05:58] This is higly experimental, look out for what happens below. [05:58] If you want to stop, interrupt now (control-c), else press [05:58] return to proceed [05:58] _Casey_: what is your problem exactly? [05:58] is it possible to run domain controller on ubuntu [05:58] h1st0: Okay. That should be in my GRUB menu, right? [05:58] !paste | keithclark [05:58] keithclark: 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) [05:59] sainzeo....are you sure about this? [05:59] T1m0thy: yeah memtest should be one of the options in grub menu. Start there make sure your hardware is good. [05:59] <_Casey_> i did an update on ubuntu and now ubuntu wont recognize my sound, i have no options now [05:59] like dhcp server ,dns server [05:59] keithclark, pretty sure [05:59] Flannel: Im updating my menu.lst to add another OS-- the partition is showing as /dev/sda2-- when putting the drive, will i label ass (sda0,2)?? [05:59] <_Casey_> its default on mute, and no sound at all [05:59] h1st0: Alright, thanks. I'll try that tomorrow. [05:59] _Casey_: a distribution upgrade or just an update to the new kernel? [05:59] Memot: sorry; just sometimes there are disruptive individuals around--my apologies [05:59] mrdinkles: No, just like a b c d start at 0; 1,2,3... start at zero as well in grub. So sda2 is hd0,1 [05:59] does any one now [06:00] _Casey_: and did you ever install sound drivers before or it just worked out of the box? [06:00] know if it is possible to run domain controller on ubuntu or ny [06:00] not [06:00] Flannel: Okay, thats what i put in, but says invalid device O.o [06:00] Flannel when i try and boot from grub [06:00] sainzeo...nope, nothing worked there [06:00] aram_: like windows domain controller? [06:00] <_Casey_> i had to do the hdaintel thing to get my sound to work [06:00] mrdinkles: Are you mixing sata and ide drives, by any chance? [06:00] <_Casey_> then i did a normal ubuntu-update [06:00] h1st0: yes [06:00] sainzeo....Install debhelper and fakeroot [06:00] Flannel: honestly.. i have no clue [06:00] <_Casey_> and the sound isnt working [06:00] _Casey_: yeah the kernel updated so whatever you did before to get it to work you will probably have to do again. [06:00] hi. i installed dvd decrypter in wine but its not detecting my cdrom/dvdroms, and none of the interface options in devd decrypter make it detect the drives either. something to do with ASAPI or ATAPI [06:00] Flannel, to try out the server and hava a backup install for emergencies like this one. i think the problem was caused when i removed and partition and i created it again [06:00] Flannel: title BackTrack [06:00] root (hd0,1) [06:00] makeactive [06:00] chainloader +1| that whats in the menu.lst [06:01] mrdinkles: Alright, well, what partitions/harddrives do you have? [06:01] sainzeo....no worries. I guess it was not meant to work on this machine. [06:01] _Casey_: or boot to the old kernel in the grub menu. [06:01] <_Casey_> no, i just went to update manager and installed the new stuff it had [06:01] sorry to butt in, but I have a quick noob question: What files are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc... [06:01] keithclark, it has to work! [06:01] mrdinkles: pastebin (not here) the output of that fdisk -l [06:01] ? [06:01] For some odd reason I cannot get video to work right in Firefox. [06:01] _Casey_: yes and that was a kernel update [06:01] h1st0 :? [06:01] <_Casey_> ahh ok [06:01] _Casey_: reboot your machine and hit esc at the grub menu select the old kernel and I bet your sound will work. [06:01] #republican [06:01] Can anyone help me diagnose and fix my problem? Video not working well in Firefox. [06:02] <_Casey_> can i just do the whole hdaintel thing again [06:02] aram_: like a microsoft domain controller? [06:02] sainzeo, don't worry. You tried. It is not the only problem with Ubuntu. It takes over 3-4 minutes to boot is the biggest one. [06:02] /dev/sda1 * 1 2404 19310098+ 83 Linux [06:02] /dev/sda2 4677 4864 1510110 5 Extended [06:02] /dev/sda3 2405 4676 18249840 83 Linux [06:02] /dev/sda5 4677 4864 1510078+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris [06:02] _Casey_: yeap should work if it worked before. [06:02] h1st0: yes [06:02] <_Casey_> ok well it takes a while, ima try it now [06:02] sainzeo, For whatever reasons, pclos just seems to work on this laptop. I'm not sure why. [06:02] keithclark, hmm, ive experienced very good booting times, but who knows what's causing your problem [06:02] Flannel: ??? whats pastebin? [06:02] mrdinkles: please dont paste here. But, its because your next install/whatever is actually sda3, so hd0,2 is right [06:02] !paste | mrdinkles [06:02] mrdinkles: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:02] aram_: not that I know of. But there are dns and dhcp server options availible. [06:02] sainzeo, exactly. Ubuntu is just not going to work out on this laptop. [06:03] ok thanks a lot [06:03] anyhow thanks a lot Flannel [06:03] Flannel: sorry =/ had a feeling that was bad [06:03] keithclark, well, i'm sure there is a workaround, just can't figure it out at the moment :( wish you wouldn't give up on ubuntu so fast :P [06:03] any one know if i can update from linux 7.04 to 7.10? [06:03] ubuntu [06:03] keithclark: most likely it is just a driver issue if another distro works fine. [06:03] <_Casey_> ki have ubuntu on my laptop, i had to make it work right [06:03] Flannel: Now what was your reasoning for it being hdo2?? I thought i put the actual partition as the second one? [06:03] sainzeo, life is short and I must move on. I was impressed with the rest though. Very impressive and responsive. [06:04] aram_: just dist upgrade with the update manager [06:04] keithclark, glad to hear it [06:04] !upgrade > aram_ (Please see the private message from ubotu) [06:04] sorry to butt in, but I have a quick noob question: What files are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc... [06:04] sainzeo, pclos has no 64 bit version which is one of the reasons why I tried ubuntu. [06:04] Hey all [06:04] h1st0: thanks a lot [06:04] aram_: np [06:04] the other think for install my graphic card [06:05] aram_: what type of card [06:05] I have a Ricoh Co Ltd R5C843 on gusty running on a Dell 6400 [06:05] i dont know i can not install vmware toll [06:05] too [06:05] keithclark, oh, so you're using the x64 version of ubuntu currently? maybe theres something with that...i run the 32bit because i've run into far less problems with it [06:05] tool [06:05] I can not seem to mount cards and nothing shows as fdisk -l [06:05] why !? [06:05] aram_: lspci should tell you what type of video card [06:05] Mini-Me: look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:05] mrdinkles: No, counting starts at 0 in GRUB, and at 1 (or a) in linux. So sda1 is hd0,0 [06:05] aram_: Samba (which is available on any Linux including Ubuntu) can act as an NT-compatible DC, the next Samba version should also be able to imitate a w2k AD [06:05] sainzeo, I will stick with the 32 bit version of pclos for the time being. [06:06] sorry i didnt get it [06:06] Flannel: so isnt the partition sda2 considered hd0,1? [06:06] sainzeo, I wanted to take advantage of my 64 bit processor [06:06] keithclark, maybe you would be up for trying the 32bit version of ubuntu? :) [06:06] ifireball: really didn't know samba can act as dc nice [06:06] keithclark, yeah i hear ya [06:06] because my graphic quality is so low [06:06] aram_: type lspci | grep VGA [06:06] aram_: in a console [06:06] mrdinkles: yes. But your other linux install is sda3 not sda2 [06:06] and vmware saying that i need to install vmware tools [06:06] sainzeo, I'm not sure that there is any difference, really, between pclos and ubuntu. Both are awesome from what I've seen. [06:06] h1st0 : in where? [06:06] Flannel: But the partition with the OS is on sda2 =/ [06:06] aram_: do you need to use vmware because virtualbox is a nice alternative. [06:06] earthsound: thanks, but I've tried looking in there, and I didn't find any settings obviously related to the acceleration or sensitivity :/ [06:07] aram_: in a terminal [06:07] mrdinkles: no its not. [06:07] ok [06:07] i mean i can not install virtual box [06:07] h1st0: there is actually a nice HOWTO on HOWTO-Forge about accomplishing this with Ubuntu [06:07] aram_: applications > accessories > terminal then when it opens type in lspci | grep VGA [06:07] Flannel: how do you know lol? [06:07] how can i install it? [06:07] ifireball: nice [06:07] ye i know where it is thabks [06:07] !virtualbox > > (Please see the private message from ubotu) [06:07] mrdinkles: mrdinkles because you pasted your filesystem [06:07] Flannel: your godlike linux abilities are frightening [06:07] !virtualbox > aram_ (Please see the private message from ubotu) [06:08] Flannel: but i could have sworn the partition was second in line [06:08] h1st0:when you send me a massage the color is yellow [06:08] aram_: because i'm typing your name first [06:08] sainzeo, I don't see a real need to dual boot two comparable 32 bit o/s [06:08] mrdinkles: 22:02 < mrdinkles> /dev/sda3 2405 4676 18249840 83 Linux [06:08] keithclark, oh no, i def understand [06:08] Open a terminal and type in lscpi | grep VGA [06:08] aram_: ^^^^^^^^^ [06:08] Flannel: ima try it flannel, i trust you, you keep me warm in the winter [06:08] ok if i get yellow means you are typing for me [06:08] Flannel: brb [06:08] aram_: yeapers [06:08] aram_: yeah, when you want to tell someone something type their name, of the won't see your message in the flow of other messages [06:08] and any one else type for me show yellow? [06:09] aram_: and when you type my name first it highlights the line for me. Its the way we keep track in a busy room like this. [06:09] h1st0 :what does other color mean [06:09] sainzeo, I just did some research in the background here and the DVD does seem to be a big downside to ubuntu. [06:09] aram_ it depends on your client [06:09] aram_: dunno what color you are talking about and it depends on the client you are using. [06:09] sainzeo, at least with what I've read online so far. [06:10] for right now, fglrx is the driver I want for ATI cards, correct? [06:10] keithclark, i haven't really had many problems with the DVD stuff, other than what I thought your problem was :( [06:10] h1st0: because i think ind just will be online every day a just want to know the secruts:d [06:10] uh oh, are there any freenode staff around? [06:10] how do i install this keyboard? http://freshmeat.net/projects/intdvorak_xkb/ [06:10] h1st0: what blue mean ? [06:10] sainzeo, it appears like people spend hours to get it working. [06:10] does it mean any thing [06:10] ajmorris_: why? [06:11] <_Casey_> ok time for reboot to see if sound works [06:11] h1st0: [06:11] aram_: it depends on your client [06:11] h1st0: what do you mean [06:11] <_Casey_> h1st0 wish me luck [06:11] h1st0: what is my client? [06:11] sainzeo, at least according to what Dell has been saying. They are going to implement some changes to their own distro of Ubuntu to solve the problem. [06:11] sainzeo, with LinDVD I think. [06:11] warriorforgod: someone changed the pswd on my channel [06:11] keithclark, yeah i heard that too that it would be working out of the box from Dell [06:11] just get libdvdcss [06:11] h1st0: for example i receive blue ,purpule and load of color [06:11] linDVD? wow [06:11] and have at it [06:11] warriorforgod: are you a staffer? or do you know what teh command is to find the list of staff? [06:11] Flannel: I got the error needs a specific pathname [06:12] aram_: what ever program you are using to talk to us right now. [06:12] sorry to butt in, but I have a quick noob question: What files are Gnome/X/etc. mouse settings (sensitivity and acceleration) stored in? I need to know so I can back up these settings, etc...I can't find any relevant settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, either :( [06:12] ok [06:12] Flannel: how can i send you a print out of what i have int here without flooding? [06:12] h1st0:how could i find this information ? [06:12] Mini-Me: User configurations are all stored in your homedir (in the dotfiles in your homedir) [06:12] ajmorris_: I would try in #freenode [06:12] !paste | mrdinkles [06:12] mrdinkles: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:12] sonja, system->prefs->keyboard, layouts. Hit the add button, and on the variants, choose dvorak [06:12] sainzeo, Like I said, it's just what I read [06:12] warriorforgod: ah kewl, tks [06:12] Do I need PCI IDE Chipset support, for mobo IDE by any chance? [06:12] ajmorris_: np [06:13] h1st0: is there any source that i can learn about terminal command ? [06:13] sainzeo, I know that pclos worked out of the box, but that was the 32 bit version. Not comparable here. [06:13] !cli | aram_ [06:13] Mini-Me: most of your preferences are in your home dir, the gnome stuff is under .gconf [06:13] aram_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [06:13] sainzeo: get the package you want from www.medibuntu.org it's called libdvdcss2 the instructions are there to install it [06:14] Mini-Me, the mouse conf is kept in ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse [06:14] bashang, it was me that was looking for help and that did not work [06:14] Flannel: thanks - I'll poke around a bit more in there - in that case, are the sensitivity and acceleration specific to Gnome? [06:14] h1st0: i know what do you mean i men how can i learn the codes [06:14] <_Casey_> ccongrats to me the alsa driver worked ;x [06:14] keithclark, did you see what bazhang wrote? [06:14] h1st0: like any sources? [06:14] ifireball: thanks to you, too :) [06:14] Mini-Me: I imagine so, yes. Infact nickrud just told you exactly where [06:14] keithclark, i would try that [06:14] nickrud: thanks to you, too :) [06:14] bazhang, no big problem. [06:14] aram_: just google linux console howto [06:15] h1st0:? [06:15] Mini-Me, you should just back up all the dot files, that covers just about everything :) [06:15] sainzeo, I tried that with no luck. [06:15] h1st0: what does it mena [06:15] * AutoMatriX told you : I'll be back [06:15] h1st0: you mean i could search on google? [06:15] ok, why is it when I plug headphones in sound comes out both the normal speakers and the headphones on my laptop [06:15] h1sto:i mean any book or learning matrial [06:15] h1st0: any good source [06:16] greenmanspirit: that really depends on your hardware... [06:16] greenmanspirit: when you plug your headphones in, try double-clicking the sound icon near the clock and look for a checkbox labeled "Front" - uncheck that and you shouldn' thear it out the front anymore [06:16] h1st0: that could teach me linux from fundumental [06:16] nickrud: well technically, I'm actually porting some settings over to a second box, so I'm not wanting to backup everything :) this is something I'll be doing on a regular basis as I move from house to house every few days (run a script to backup to a MyBook, then back to each computer). If I backed up ALL of home, I could run into some nasty version mismatch problems, especially if I try another distro :o [06:16] aram_: google [06:16] Flannel: How can i find the Pathname to that partition [06:16] h1st0: thanks a lot [06:17] sainzeo, like I said, thanks for your help here. I am not going to delete Ubuntu just yet. I will try for another day to solve the problems. [06:17] could you please help me how could i type I [06:17] aram_: http://www.linuxcommand.org/ <- a good place to start [06:17] keithclark, sounds good - sorry again i couldn't help ya out [06:17] sainzeo, I dont have a front option [06:17] ifireball: thanks a lot [06:17] Mini-Me, ah. Well, nearly all the gnome settings are kept in that dir. if you run gconf-editor, you can browse through the settings, and the tree on the left matches the directory structure. That way you can find what you want to carry over [06:17] mrdinkles: there is no pathname to that partition. the pathname is (hd0,2) You must need something else. Like root and kernel lines [06:18] what the weird thing is, it used to work [06:18] i dont know who but some one send me a massage which how i could fix my graphic card [06:18] Flannel: what should i put for Kernal? [06:18] and it says to type lspci I grep vgn [06:18] mrdinkles: That depends on what youre trying to boot. Really you should consult their documentation on all of that. [06:18] i dont know how to type I because know i am using i letter [06:19] the letter i need to type is near number 1 on keyboard [06:19] nickrud: thanks! I'll check that out. Since mouse settings are specific to Gnome, that raises some interesting questions: If I installed KDE and Gnome, would the settings used depend on the active window (KDE or Gnome app) or the active desktop environment (i.e. if I run Amarok in Gnome, it would use Gnome's mouse settings)? [06:19] Mini-Me, desktop settings [06:19] Mini-Me: I suspect the latter [06:19] can any one help please? [06:19] When I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set some of the video modes, NONE of them show up in screen resolution [06:20] What am i doing wrong? [06:20] aram_: what is the problem? [06:20] I have a problem. When trying to install my nvidea driver via the restricted drivers manager I got an error: you need to install the package linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server for this program to work. Upon searching for the package in synaptic I was unable to find it. I'm working with ubuntu 7.10 64bit. any ideas? [06:20] paxton, i did that as well and they didnt show up either but it worked so i left it [06:20] bazhang: i just want to type I but using the key near number one on keyboard [06:20] Dombre, run a different kernel. the server kernel doesn't have the video drivers [06:20] http://milou.myminicity.com/ [06:21] bozhang: i dont know how to do it [06:21] But my screen is still at 800X600 [06:21] and i am using i letter currently [06:21] lame kernel update and modules changing... [06:21] I still cant see much and I just cannot get a higher resolution [06:21] aram_: near number one? the ~ character? there are several near the 1 on the keyboard :} [06:21] bazhang: yes [06:21] Mini-Me: that really depends on how the particular setting is implemented, for example I expect mouse settings to be desktop-global, however theme settings may depend on which environment the app is built upon [06:21] paxton, when you selected the res setting did you use the spacebar to select it. if so it should have used the selected setting [06:22] guys i enabled the restricted driver but wen i restart it says its running on low-graphics screen graphic card could not be detected... how can i fix this [06:22] yes I used the spacebar and it marked it with a star [06:22] wierd [06:22] then I hit tab then ok [06:22] bazhang: because if i just press it ,it type ` and if i hold shift it type ¬ [06:22] aram_: what keyboard layout do you have? qwerty? you may need to adjust that if so [06:22] i can not type I [06:22] nickrud: How does one go about changing there kernel, all I've ever done is used the automatic updater. [06:23] i havent done it in a wile id have to look at it, [06:23] bazhang: it is dell and it is qwerty? [06:23] sorry but i gotta sleep [06:23] how could i adjust it/ [06:23] bazhang: how could i adjust it? [06:23] nickrud, flannel, ifireball: thanks...I still haven't actually found my perfect sensitivity yet, but I'm working on it, and I was wanting to make sure I could transfer the settings back and forth between boxes. It's only a moderate concern with regular desktop stuff, but in Windows, I know that Windows mouse settings greatly affected sensitivity in games. Is this generally the case in Linux? Do Linux games tend to take into account d [06:23] esktop environment mouse settings, or do they ignore them in favor of more direct input? [06:23] aram_: is it qwery? are you asking me or telling me? check the keyboard layout settings and adjust if so [06:24] Dombre, you can look for linux-generic in synaptic and install that. That will pull in a kernel that has restricted drivers, and the restricted drivers themselves. When you reboot, you would choose the generic kernel in the boot menu. If it says starting grub and you don't see a choice, press escape [06:24] bazhang: it is qwerty [06:24] bazhang: how could i do that in linux ubuntu [06:24] aram_: what about language? it may be set to another language [06:24] bazhang: uk [06:24] nickrud thanks. [06:25] Mini-Me: that depends on the game, many games use SDL which bypasses the DE to go directly to the GFX hardware and therefore may also ignore DE mouse settings [06:25] Mini-Me, don't play many games in linux, so I don't have any opinion on that. I seem to have to change the settings to different values on different machines, though [06:25] hey guys, im trying to get my wifi working, i just formatted and installed Ubuntu... now when i go into Restricted drivers, i see broadcom 43xx ... but when i try to enale it, it says that the software source for this package is not enabled.... could someone help me please <--noob [06:25] ok thanks a lot every single thing was so useful [06:25] thansk [06:25] have good night [06:25] bye [06:26] ToddEDM: sounds like software repositories aren't enabled - go to System - Administration - Software Sources [06:26] ToddEDM, system->admin->software sources, make sure the first 4 items are selected [06:26] Mini-Me: when it comes to mouse, there is a difference between where the settings are stored and what the actually are in runtime, what the DE does is store the settings in its own file, and send a command to Xorg to implement the settings when the DE starts [06:27] Thanks guys... im trying it now [06:27] Mini-Me: some games change the mouse settings with a similar command when they start up [06:27] does anybody know of ALSA-driver respository online somewhereee? [06:27] Mini-Me: games may also run in different screen resolution which would require different settings [06:28] Has anyone using Ubuntu ever seen the Gnome menus get totally corrupted? [06:28] can someone tell me how to install "`xserver-xorgxrandr"? [06:28] its a package I think [06:28] anybody..? [06:28] ifireball, that makes sense - I had kind of been wondering why the settings were Gnome-specific (and not in xorg.conf). That's a good sign for games, though - it would definitely be a comforting thought if I knew that the same settings in "game x" resulted in the same control on different systems [06:28] maybe I [06:28] mempman: the alas developers site has a huge repository with compatibility charts/etc. [06:28] ifireball - of course, nickrud has apparently had different experiences, so either my hopes are misplaced or it's very game-dependent [06:28] does anyone have the package`xserver-xorgxrandr? [06:29] mempman: a google search turned up nothing? would you like me to try my google-fu? [06:29] mempman: alsa* [06:29] yes alsa [06:29] im looking for debian repository for latest release [06:29] so that i can install via package manager [06:29] how install java jre in ubuntu 64 bits? [06:30] paxton: an apt-cache search xserver will give you a list of packages; packages.ubuntu.com will show some items as well [06:30] Mini-Me, no, nothing ifireball disagrees with what I said, I'm talking about different screen sizes, different base sensitivity of mice, that kind of thing. Not how the software messes around on top of that [06:30] i hate 64 bits version [06:30] hi. i installed dvd decrypter in wine but its not detecting my cdrom/dvdroms, and none of the interface options in devd decrypter make it detect the drives either. something to do with ASAPI or ATAPI [06:31] how do i set my mouse wheel to scroll more text at a time in firefox? [06:31] Mini-Me: actually, you can place mouse settings in xorg.conf but gnome/kde will override them (other DEs may not though) [06:31] nickrud - good point - I forgot about how different mouse hardware behaves differently [06:31] what does this mean? Dec 21 01:31:41 downstairs kernel: [ 481.661554] device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table [06:31] ciao bambini [06:32] hey, im having problems with the temperature on my acer laptop, and i was just wondering what kind of temperature monitoring and fan control software there is out there [06:32] hey guys , i was having problems withthat broadcom 43xx driver... well i checked those 4 boxes in Software sources, still same thing... i cant get it working [06:32] nickrud: I just noticed the directory you led me to has an xml file with mouse settings, but it only mentions accleration (and a few other settings), not sensitivity. How did you locate this in the first place? I might have to do a bit more poking around in the same general area... [06:32] amedx, I used this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 [06:33] what does this mean ? (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): Unable to read EDID for display device CRT-1 [06:33] Mini-Me, use that gconf-editor I mentioned. Only the things you actually changed will show up there [06:34] drgeb, it means that when X tried to read the monitor specs directly from the monitor, it couldn't [06:34] why is X trying to do this and can I turn this off ? [06:34] ToddEDM, is that machine on the net? [06:34] ToddEDM, I think it needs to be to download the firmware [06:34] nickrud: oh, right...and actually, the sensitivity might be in there after all, if it's "motion_threshold" - I'll install that package right now though. [06:35] no... i cant get my wifi working, thats what the driver is for [06:35] Mini-Me, it's already installed, just run it from the terminal. Or, right click the menu bar and turn on the menu item [06:35] hehe [06:35] nickrud: just noticed that :) [06:35] ok , actually i think i have it on a usb stick here somewhere .... maaaaaybe, i think i did that last time [06:35] Mini-Me, under apps->system [06:36] nickrud why is X trying to do this and can I turn this off ? [06:36] drgeb: you can turn that off by adding Option "UseEdid" "false" to your "Device" section in xorg.conf [06:36] !wifi | ToddEDM then you'll need this page, there are instructions on how to do it on an unconnected machine [06:36] ToddEDM then you'll need this page, there are instructions on how to do it on an unconnected machine: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:37] drgeb, see ifireball :) [06:37] drgeb: that is, assuming you use Nvidia [06:37] ToddEDM, unless you can wire it up temporarily (that's what I did) [06:38] ifireball yes I am using nvidia and amd64 and I am having many strange issues with gdm login in using compiz and mythtv frontend [06:38] so, anybody? [06:38] hey, im having problems with the temperature on my acer laptop, and i was just wondering what kind of temperature monitoring and fan control software there is out there [06:39] nickrud ifireball let me reboot and see if this first solves this worning brb [06:39] drgeb: I suspect the EDID thing may just be a side-effect and not the main problem then [06:39] TNDT: Look at sensors and gkrellm [06:39] drgeb, no need to reboot, just log out and back in [06:39] drgeb: no need to reboot, just restart GDM [06:39] I need a package called lbxutil aparently and there is nothing on google/ubuntu [06:40] nickrud: log/out/in may not actually restart X (it depends...) [06:40] ok, thanks amidaniel|away [06:40] ifireball, does here, but you're right to suggest gdm restart. I sometimes mention the three finger salute just in case [06:40] how can I get the package lbxutil? [06:40] amidaniel|away: you might want to change your nick from away... [06:41] guys in enable the restricted driver.. but i still get low-graphic mode.. it says screen graphic cant detect hardware... how can i fix this [06:41] nickrud: like I said, it depends, I also seen it change between Ubuntu versions... but yeah, 3-finger works [06:41] * amidaniel|away is away, I swear! :) [06:41] paxton, do you mean xutil ? [06:41] Yes [06:41] is there an apt-get for that? [06:42] nickrud, ifireball, flannel: thanks guys - that's all I needed, and it's time for bed now! :) [06:42] paxton, it is already, it's a normal part of X . Are you trying to compile something? [06:42] yes [06:43] ifireball, that's why I mention the three finger, I still see breezy now and then here [06:43] guys in enable the restricted driver.. but i still get low-graphic mode.. it says screen graphic cant detect hardware... how can i fix this [06:43] No package 'lbxutil' found [06:43] nickrud: do you notice that despite all the failsafe stuff we're still spending most of the time here debugging video trouble...? [06:43] ifireball, lol, yes, that's how I got sucked in, that and media :) [06:44] Hi everyone. I would like to know if anyone here know how to perform the proper procedure in order to save settings to USB while running Ubuntu 7.10 LiveCD persistence (on CD) [06:44] AJ, which restricted driver? [06:44] I tried the online community document but no luck. [06:44] nickrud: nvidia [06:44] pazu: you should check out pendrivelinux.com for that [06:44] AJ, I don't know nvidia, I'm ati only these days [06:45] i actually checked out the fix offer by pendrivelinux, but still nothing. but if i plug that USB with a 6.06.1 ubuntu, it works [06:46] pazu: I would suspect that the error is on your end; those folks really know their stuff--I have botched a usb key deal many a time before getting it right [06:46] im having to do: "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" && "sudo depmod -a" everytime i boot up to make my wireless work does anyone know a way around this? [06:46] AJ: lets start with the basics, which Nvidia card do you have? [06:46] fwaokda, add ndiswrapper on a line by itself in /etc/modules [06:46] gforceFX [06:47] ifireball: nvidia GeForceFx [06:47] AJ: ok, you're getting to the failsafe screen? [06:47] nickrud: alright im new to all this but let me take a peek at it and see if i can figure it out! ty [06:47] yes [06:47] fwaokda, soon as you see it, you'll see example lines :) [06:48] AJ: can you paste the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log to pastebin? [06:48] it says ubuntu is running on low graphic mode..screen graphic cant detect device [06:48] bazhang: alright. is there a way to check which part having the error during the process? because i followed their step competely, even the fixed from pendrivelinux - having to create a new modified OS LiveCD. Everything is covered up by graphic, i couldn't find anywhere to tell me the error [06:48] k wait [06:48] nickrud: did you mean /etc/modutils ?

[07:00] if i build my own GTK [07:00] here from the start.. i try to install the driver from the nvidia site.. it works .. but wen i restart.. it display low graphic and screen graphic not detected.. [07:01] andy_: yes. [07:01] ToddEDM, for terminal types :) Otherwise, you'll see an orange thingo in your task bar when updates are available, click it [07:01] would it replace my currently installed from apt-get [07:01] now i re enable the restricted driver and still dont fix [07:01] AJ: why did you install from nvidia instead of from Ubuntu? the nvidia install pretty much breaks stuff in Ubuntu afaik... [07:01] because i need to pu a patch in GTK [07:02] so wat can i possibly do to fix this .. [07:02] during the ubuntu install - can I setup a software raid? === alex__ is now known as Hohohey [07:02] are there repositories for wine ? [07:02] keitherz, if you're looking to patch gtk, you really should look at how ubuntu packages are put together, so you can create a package with your patch. [07:03] !packaging [07:03] The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports [07:03] are there any fix for this problem ? [07:03] AJ: we need to somehow get the right error log so we can understand whats happening [07:03] nickrud where can i see that [07:03] AJ: can you set it to use the "nv" driver 1st? [07:03] i did [07:03] keitherz, I gave a link look just above [07:03] any link on how packages are built [07:04] oh sry [07:04] can anyone help me get my wireless network card to work? [07:04] keitherz, np :) [07:04] AJ: does it work? the log file you pasted seems to indicate you're using the VESA driver [07:04] devilin.... what kind of card do you have [07:04] !wifi | devilin [07:04] devilin: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [07:04] nickrud thanks === ajmorris_ is now known as krakz0r [07:05] Bloody hell this channel is busy. :3 [07:05] does anyone have experience with packet sniffing? [07:05] (stupid autojoin. :p) [07:05] there are 2 Driver "nv" [07:05] keitherz, you will be very happy you did, since you can then easily back it out if you ever want to [07:05] i change it.. ok let me try it [07:05] how do i get the menu bar on the bottom to look like the one here? http://phorolinux.com/quick-tip-installing-ubuntu-studio-theme-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html [07:05] liyang_, crowded, not always busy :) === Markos- is now known as Markos [07:06] nickrud: yeah, that's probably what I meant. :3 [07:06] AJ: paste xorg.cong + log file when you're done plz [07:06] AJ: e.g. xorg.conf [07:06] andy_: yes... [07:07] ifireball, you have experience with packet sniffing? [07:07] fwaokda, install avant-window-navigator , then alt-f2 avant-window-navigator [07:07] nickrud That got rid of the WW about EID that I saw however now I am seeing and EE Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) [07:07] nickrud, so when they build packages they are default [07:07] drgeb, I don't know much about nvidia, sorry [07:07] andy_: yeah, using wireshark [07:08] yep === krakz0r is now known as ajmorris_ [07:08] cause when i build i need to replace the existing one [07:08] i have been using it for awile, but i have allways wanted to find out how to get text out of the packets [07:08] hey, I am trying to connect to a wireless network, I got the password and it is 3 feet away from me and I can't connect [07:08] well i have just been experimenting really [07:08] help me please [07:08] keitherz, yes. you replace the existing one with your new one. This way you don't have stray files mucking up your system. [07:08] the broadcom43xx restricted driver seemed to work but then it would not allow me to connect to my home wireless network [07:09] does anyone find ubuntu to be less stable than XP? [07:09] andy_: you can right-click any TCP packet and select "follow TCP stream" [07:09] or is it just me? [07:09] thanks [07:09] nickrud: so i dont have to use --prefix= [07:09] can I setup a software raid from the ubuntu install? [07:09] ToddEDM: no OS can be foon and bullet proof :) trust me! every one can mess an OS in less than five minutes :) [07:09] keitherz, all that is preset in the package. You'd add your patch to the patching system in the package, and when you build it the patch would be automatically applied. All the dirty stuff is done for you [07:10] *fool [07:10] andy_: note that it'll setup a filter so you'll see only packets of that stream, you'll need to clear it if you want to see other packets afterwards [07:10] nickrud: no my patch is to edit one file in the source [07:10] I installed all packages for ubuntustudio from synaptic from a previous ubuntu install now my wireless isnt working. I have an ipw3945. any ideas what it could be? [07:10] keitherz, any special configure options used to meld it with other software are already set [07:10] keitherz, exactly. [07:11] thanks, so you will be able to see text of what is being sent [07:11] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463773 [07:11] i am trying to learn at home where nothing i do is wrong. I just want to learn how things work [07:12] has anyone else had problems getting a broadcom wireless adapter (mine is built into my laptop). The restricted driver does not fix my connectivity issues. [07:12] andy_: please type my name when you talk to me, you'll, see the text unless its encrypted [07:12] I asked this question before, but i want to make sure of it. Can i run Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon as a live CD on my Windows XP computer, not from a CD, but from the computer itself? If i can, how so, the file i DL says Ubuntu 7.10-desktopxxxx.RAR, i though they were supposed to be a .iso file so i could burn them on a CD. (Sorry for my bad English) [07:12] how do i search for packages i can download/install in terminal [07:12] devilin, umm i just got through setting mine up ha... i just dont really know what i did to fix it :( [07:12] how do i get xfce4 to work as my window manager for vnc ? [07:13] keitherz, enable the source repos (system->admin->software sources) then do apt-get source in a clean directory, look around [07:13] Memot: .rar? where did you got it? :| [07:13] ok [07:13] fwaokda: sudo aptitude search [07:13] ifireball_: is that better [07:13] thanks smultron [07:13] www.ubuntu.com [07:13] fwaokda: use aptitude search PACKAGE coomand [07:13] andy_: yeah [07:13] fwaokda, lol funny but not exactly helpful [07:14] keitherz, gtk+2.0 is the source package [07:14] Oh. [07:14] thanks [07:14] devilin, sry i didn't mean anything by it which one you have 4311? [07:14] http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2007-12-20-025-26-NW-MS-LL <- great news to mixed env sysadmins [07:14] ifireball_: can you see other traffic, such as web traffic in plain text or just tcp? [07:14] i found the patching system guide [07:14] ? [07:14] fwaokda, lol it is ok i am not mad. did you use ndiswrapper? [07:14] God, sorry for any trouble i caused you. My mistake. [07:15] ya i did [07:15] keitherz, it's been a few years since I modified a package, so if I say much beyond this, I'd almost certainly get it wrong :) [07:15] ifireball_: so it works with https traffic? [07:15] andy_: well, its a little hard to follow UDP, most important stuff with any meaningful amounts of text is TCP anyway (web is TCP y'know...) [07:15] hi, i've just installed ubuntu 7.04 with dual boot, everything works fine except i dont have internet on ubuntu, but when i switch to windows i do have internet, any1 got an idea? [07:15] Hi i have only 2 files listed on http://203.116.63.66/dl/ but when i did ls -l there's other 2 tar files but its not showing up.is it permission problem?i have it all chmod 777 [07:15] devilin, and had to add it to /etc/modules for it to work on boot up [07:15] ifireball_: [07:16] andy_: you wouldn't be able to see HTTPS becasue its encrypted, you'll just see "junk" [07:16] Scusio: what is your connection type? [07:16] devilin, if you dont add it to modules then you have to do modprobe ndiswrapper or something like that to get it to pick up [07:16] Scusio: adsl, local network, wireless? [07:16] Hi i have only 2 files listed on http://203.116.63.66/dl/ but when i did ls -l there's other 2 tar files but its not showing up.is it permission problem?i have it all chmod 777 [07:16] ifireball_: do you know of an IRC channel that is dedicated to sniffing and web security? [07:16] fwaokda, i see.... that is what i did the first time i got this laptop to work.... i will have to look up the ndiswrapper setup section in the forums again i suppose. [07:17] steelwolf: what is file name? does the two hidden files start with "."? do you set any extra rule in apache conf? [07:17] andy_: nope [07:17] devilin, sry im new to linux stuff but i did somehow get it to work with some other ppl helping me [07:17] Ali_ix, there isnt [07:17] -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 376657920 Dec 21 07:52 lester.tar [07:17] fwaokda, what precisely did you add to the /ect/modules ? just so i can get an idea [07:17] can anyone help me with the mouse problem please ?

[07:18] andy_, yes.. lots [07:18] whats the package name for gtk+2 [07:18] steelwolf: no idea, try the #ubuntu-server channel :) [07:18] daryl_, add it to your session [07:18] andy_: you name it... [07:18] question re: the new init: does it actually improve startup time? [07:18] keitherz, should be gtk+2.0 [07:18] im trying to install avant-window-navigator but its giving me an error about unmet dependencies... how do i get around this? [07:18] i also tried to use fedora, but i got tired of it too quickly [07:18] System --> preferences --> sessions [07:18] macd, is there a non gui way of doing this? [07:18] and knoppix was my first [07:18] red0t: i have used suse, fedora, ubuntu, and knoppix [07:19] no it wont work nickrud [07:19] !flashissues [07:19] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. [07:19] oh and mandriva [07:19] fwaokda, ok cool thanks for the help i am off to find the ndiswrapper i used before.... i think i will ask around here for someone to give em a hand two but hearing that you used ndiswrapper was very helpful [07:19] I know the event based system makes things easier to deal with devices that are constantly coming and going, but how about speed of startup and shutdown [07:19] oooo suse.. i used to get into arguements with my housemate over mandriva. [07:19] fwaokda, system->admin->software sources, enable the first 4 items [07:19] I haven't noticed a significant speedup on my box [07:19] any one else? [07:19] daryl_, umm, off hand I'm not sure, most likely, .xsession [07:19] OK [07:19] THANKS [07:19] i love fedora, but it does not offer great wireless support [07:19] devilin, np gluck i'll be around i think for awhile maybe there is something else i remember that might help you [07:20] i run fedora 8 on my desktop [07:20] nickrud, ok i'll try that [07:20] keitherz, system->admin->software sources, enable the source repo [07:20] can anyone help me set up ndiswrapper to use a windows driver to get my broadcom43xxx wireless adapter to work [07:20] whats the ubuntu offtopic channel? [07:20] I need some help with crontab, my entries don't seem to be running :( [07:20] i always get tired of fedora after like 3 hours [07:20] wtf is fedora 8 [07:20] euhm [07:20] macd: .xsession != gnome session... making such a file will probably break his system... [07:20] it is a different linux opperating system [07:20] nickrud, the first four are already checked :( [07:20] odracir34: different Linux OS [07:21] i see [07:21] last time i think it was the no filesystem support for xfs by default. and kde wasnt in the default repos [07:21] oh poof i forgot i disable it [07:21] im wondering about mp3's and ubuntu. [07:21] Ali_ix: im connected through i router [07:21] and what is the problem woth ot [07:21] odracir34: are you new to linux? [07:21] home network [07:21] relatively [07:21] fwaokda, strange, I got it just fine. do sudo aptitude install avant-window-navigator in a terminal, and put all the error stuff on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [07:21] yes i'm [07:21] does cron keep a log or something? my entries aren't running [07:21] k [07:22] i have now running the 7.10 ubuntu desktop [07:22] yeah, i keep coming back to ubuntu. [07:22] Scusio: ok, how to you get IP in windows? dhcp? or static ip? if it is static one, you should set ip, gateway and dns settings in ubuntu, so you can access network and internet === ajmorris_ is now known as krakz0r [07:22] odracir34: you might fall in love with it enough to dump windows [07:22] and i have found al my tools i need to do illegaal stuf [07:22] lol [07:22] hahah [07:22] glaucous: cron can mail the user on failuers [07:23] odracir34: hacking?

[07:23] i have dumpt windows [07:23] andy_: If I didn't have to use Aperture I'd dump OS X, with the new Compiz in Gutsy. [07:23] nickrud, ok that worked. whats the differ between what you got me to type and this "sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator" [07:23] !cron [07:23] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts.

[07:27] glaucous, is that cron running as root? though I think /tmp would be fine as any users [07:27] firrewall [07:27] macd: I want it to run as root, yes. currently it isn't running at all :( [07:27] glaucous, k, so your editing crontab as root right? [07:27] redd0t: sure [07:28] macd: sudo crontab -e [07:28] fwaokda, one minute, my mind is sleepy [07:28] ifireball: well, ... that might be an idea. Looking through the colleges packets might be interesting and educational also... :) [07:28] FAJALOU4197: I use Exile media player, the built-in players totem an rythmbox can also play MP3s with the right codecs installed [07:28] nickrud, np [07:28] ifireball: do you know if that's compatible with most mp3 players [07:28] tabman: in windows, does this mouse require special drivers, or does it run off of the generic mouse driver [07:29] glaucous, let me try what your doing one sec, this a gutsy box? [07:29] redd0t: generic mouse driver [07:29] FAJALOU4197: that really depends on your player, if it has mass USB storage support it'll be no problem [07:29] macd: yes, gutsy [07:29] <_Casey_> how come i cant "modprobe -r ipw3945" and switch to ipwraw [07:29] works for me [07:29] redd0t, he might be using a bluetooth mouse that needs interface support [07:29] FAJALOU4197: I suppose you should just try it with the live-CD [07:29] ifireball: usb storage? no it's a harddrive player. [07:29] I'm trying to blacklist prism2_usb so ndiswrapper won't spot it. I made the blacklist-prism2_usb file in modprobe.d, but to no avail. Can anyone give me advice? Thanks. [07:29] moin [07:29] ifireball: true true. [07:29] sudo crontab -e, then */1 * * * * /usr/bin/....... [07:29] fwaokda, doh, I had to add another repository to install it. I did sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list , and added the line: deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ gutsy avant-window-navigator . This is a third party repo, it's not signed so you will get a warning about authentication. Use at your own risk. [07:29] tabman: is it a bluetooth mouse? [07:30] nickrud, k let me try that [07:30] redd0t: it used to work fine with older version of linux, the problem is with the newer versions I guess its to do with the kernel upgrade, no its not bluetooth mouse, connected through PS/2 [07:30] macd: ok, I added the /1. I'll tell you in a minute if it works better [07:30] <_Casey_> what all wifi apps are there [07:30] but my real crons aren't running either [07:30] ok another question guys... whats the easiest way to get all the plugins i will need to view stuff on the internet [07:30] _Casey_ what are you talking about? [07:31] FAJALOU4197: mass USB storage support means it works like a USB pen drive, it doesn't have to be harddrive-based [07:31] redd0t: I used it fine with ubuntu 6.06 [07:31] <_Casey_> andy_ the ipw3945 question or after? [07:31] ifireball: my mp3 player is harddrive [07:32] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras to be able to play MP3, DVD, Flash, Quicktime, WMA and WMV. [07:32] nickrud, ok now after adding that line i do the cmd from earlier? [07:32] FAJALOU4197: well, like I said, just try it, that'll give you the best answer [07:32] <_Casey_> andy_ ? [07:32] _Casey_ : gotcha [07:32] !restricted | ToddEDM [07:32] tabman: and you upgraded to 7.10 and it didnt? it might be a problem with your xorg.

[07:32] it still says 0 packages instaled [07:32] ifireball: ok, live cd you find that on the main site? [07:32] fwaokda, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install avant-window-navigator [07:32] FAJALOU4197: yes. [07:32] tabman: xorg.conf [07:32] tabman: sry its getting late. [07:33] <_Casey_> i want to unload the ipw3945 driver and load ipwraw but it wont let me [07:33] sleep is for newbs.... lol [07:33] ifireball: ok thank you, what about windows games, is there like an emulator or something? [07:33] redd0t: yeah it didn't work after upgrade either on Ubuntu or openSUSE 10.3, what is xorg.conf ? what to do with it [07:33] <_Casey_> faj [07:33] <_Casey_> use wine [07:33] * nickrud is going to bed in ... 10 minutes [07:33] <_Casey_> winehq.org [07:33] macd: it appears I didn't have a line break after that line so it didn't take. I can't think of any situation where that behaviour would be desireable [07:33] nickrud, still no worky [07:34] tabman: hmmm..... xorg.conf is the configuration file for the xorg server [07:34] hi [07:34] what can one not 'apt-get' on ubuntu64 right now? [07:34] FAJALOU4197: that a hit or miss thing, some games work with wine (the emulator), some don't, some have native Ubuntu versions, it really depends on the game [07:34] tabman: it resides in /etc [07:34] nickrud, says no candidate version found [07:34] redd0t: and what do you want me to do with it ? [07:34] tabman: idk.. im thinking [07:34] fwaokda, did you do aptitude update ? [07:34] yes [07:34] glaucous, nor can I, maybe you should test it again and submit a bug on launchpad.net/ubuntu [07:34] ifireball: ok thank you, where are those found? [07:35] !google wine halo pc [07:35] macd: but my two real entries above it still don't work :( :( [07:35] :-( [07:35] anyone on amd64 here? [07:35] me [07:35] where should i paste some outpur lines? [07:35] thyko, meh [07:36] FAJALOU4197: there are games in the "Add/Remove" application in Ubuntu, also there is a lot of information in the Ubuntu wiki about games [07:36] fwaokda, bummer. I just check for myself, and they've taken the package out of the repo. Sorry for the red herring, I got it less than a week ago [07:36] :( [07:36] tabman: you might need to reconfigure the xserver, try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" in another virtual console. [07:36] macd: /var/log/syslog says it completed successfully so I'm thinking it's not cron. I'll investigate further [07:36] macd, Ali_ix: thanks for your help [07:36] nickrud, where can i go get it then? im new to ubuntu idk where to look [07:36] glaucous, thats pretty wierd, have you tried cleaning the whoe thing out by hitting crtl+k a few times [07:36] glaucous, disregard that last line ;P [07:36] fwaokda: what critical apps are not on there? [07:36] ifireball: alright thank you, i think i will try the live cd overbreak, im sick of windows, and also i have wireless, will that still work. [07:36] tabman: it will prompt you in the terminal for your choices with hardware. [07:37] thyko, ! idk [07:37] can anyone say why would I want to use AWM as oppsed to the normal Gnome panel? [07:37] redd0t: I'm not on linux right now, also my current linux installation is openSUSE10.3 [07:37] is apt-get ubuntu-specific or at least the default app manager on ubuntu? [07:37] ifireball, its eye candy, other than that Ithink gnome panel is a better interface [07:37] cylence: it's debain specific [07:37] tabman: oh. i have never used SUSE. [07:37] cylence, it comes from debian, and ubuntu is a debian derivitive [07:37] fwaokda: what? [07:37] B: ah, good to know!! [07:38] what does pushd command do? [07:38] macd: and thank you as well [07:38] redd0t: but the problem is across all distro, faced it on Ubuntu as well as SUSE [07:38] fwaokda, join #awn here for the latest, they may know a repo that's up [07:38] apt-get works in all debian based distros [07:38] and sed [07:38] goodnight all [07:38] FAJALOU4197: wireless depends on your card, some card "just work" other need some effort to get working, in any case year learning a whole new OS it'll take time a patience, but I think that eventually EVERYTHING can be made to work [07:38] I'm a tad unfamiliar with it. I understand "apt-get application", but I'm looking to upgrade apache2.0 to 2.2, is there an easy way to do this? [07:39] can anyone tell me the paste bin link? [07:39] later nick [07:39] ifireball: talk about irc noob, how do you notice? [07:39] thyko, im new to ubuntu idk what your talking about sry [07:39] hey, im having some problems playing audio in ubuntu. ive tried xmms, amarok, and rhythmbox [07:39] the sound is really quiet [07:39] oh [07:39] anyone have any ideas on what to do? [07:39] FAJALOU4197: why would you want to do that [07:39] anyone know what driver I should use for 3d acceleration on a laptop with a nVidia Quadro NVS 120M video card? [07:40] Vaalth, this may sound stupid, but did you check PCM volume? [07:40] cylence: try apt-get update apache2 [07:40] tabman: well the other option is xorgcfg from the command line. you can run this the next time you are in linux. it is a text based menu driven configuration tool [07:41] where should i be looking to get game controllers/joysticks working? [07:41] cylence: also you could use synaptic to install it [07:41] B: That didn't work, but "apt-get upgrade apache2 [07:41] did work [07:42] but it is staying at 2.0.* [07:42] not sure what that is [07:42] is it another package manager? [07:42] redd0t: and what to do after running xorgcfg ? [07:42] ok so how can i apply my patch after patching it [07:42] should i build it manually [07:42] xorg will need to be restarted. [07:42] anyone use electricsheep [07:42] morghanphoenix: the restricted "nvidia" driver [07:43] redd0t: ok I'll just switch right now & try, so lets see but I doubt it'll work [07:43] cylence:what ubuntu version do you have? [07:43] 6.0.7 or something to that affect [07:43] Ali_ix: i've tried to set my ip and gateway etc.. but couldn't find where...i tried to contact my router through firefox typing 192.168.1.1 which will work at windows, but it said firefox couldn't find that location [07:43] there isn't a listing for the quadro on the nVidia page [07:43] tabman: okay [07:43] it's the one that is supported for 5 years [07:43] mm [07:43] They don't even have windows drivers for this card, only dell released drivers [07:43] cylence: the LTS doesn't include 2.2 afaik [07:43] Hi all I just installed Ubuntu-desktop-7.04 on a Xeon 3040. I see my two cpus, but I would like to know if I can install a specific prebuilt kernel for the XEON? [07:43] tabman: if its a driver problem you might have to find and download the old mouse driver and install it [07:44] ifirefox: do you know about netgear stuff? [07:44] ifireball: thought so [07:44] Scusio: you can go to windows and note ip and gateway you have there, then get back to ubntu and set them up [07:44] that is correct, but does that mean I can't even upgrade to it? [07:44] where [07:44] B. cylence : it may me in the backports repository though, I never looked int it [07:44] do i set them [07:45] ifireball: you mean the version of apache 2.2 that would work on the LTS? [07:45] tekcop, yeah the system volume and the volume in all the media players were maxed [07:45] cylence: yeah [07:45] Ali_ix: where do i set them up [07:45] cylence, hardy will have apache2.2, as does gutsy [07:46] how would I go about opening .rar files in gutsy? [07:46] macd: :s [07:46] Scusio: who are you addressing? In a busy channel like this its a good idea to use someone's nickname (nick) in your response or they may miss it [07:46] cylence, its possible you could get a dapper backport request, not sure there was alot of changes [07:46] jonnymac: install unrar-free and use archive manager [07:46] Scusio: administration > network in menues [07:46] hello [07:46] macd: you sure feisty didn't have it?

[07:49] lol so i am updating some packages from hardy's repos on a dapper box [07:49] ifireball: what should be size for boot?

[07:50] ifireball: ok for now if i want to install how many partition do i need to create ? [07:50] aram: swap should be twice the size of your real RAM [07:50] my computer is switching rapidly back and forth between charging the battery and not charging the battery (and the battery is about 10% charged) is that probably my computer's/hardware's fault, or gnome-power-manager's fault? if it helps, I can see if it does the same thing in Windows. [07:50] ifireball: ok and what about other one which is root? [07:51] Hi all, I need to print a number of booklets using my deskjet printer, but the prints get shifted. Do you know about a tool to help me get perfectly aligned prints ? [07:51] compwez18: it sounds like a hardware problem [07:51] ifireball: because i know i should create /boot as well? [07:51] tabman: how did it go [07:52] redd0t: I'm on linux right now [07:52] aram: you need 2 partitions, one root, one swap. Swap should be about twice the amount of ram that you have. root should be at least 3gb for normal install [07:52] ifireball: could you please send me instruction that i can read and understand that what should i do to install ubuntu [07:52] andy_: yeah, sadly [07:52] tabman: okay [07:52] hello all. how can i update nvidia drivers in ubuntu ? is there any repository for latest drivers ? [07:52] redd0t: xorgcfg opened up some utility, saying use the keyboard to navigate but pressing key doesn't do anything [07:52] compwiz18: i had a problem with my old laptop that was similar to that [07:52] cylence, not if you like extra work ;P [07:52] i dont wanna use install program from nvidia [07:52] aram: for a simple installation (specifily of your installing for the first time) you only need two partitions one for spap and the other for root [07:52] aram: root will need about 6G, why do you think that you need /boot? you may also want to create a separate /home partition though so you can reinstall without losing your settings and data [07:52] keyboard doesnt work in the menu? [07:52] aram, just create swap at twice the size of your ram and root at any size but say a minimum of 5gb you do not need boot [07:53] CruX:look on the nvidia webiste...

I forgot about that if the powersupply dies... [07:57] I removed 'tracker' package, and now logout icon takes 30sec to show logout dialog.

[07:59] cylence: please tell me how it goes, when I faced similar problem I (did the cowardly thing and) simply upgraded do whole OS, however I do want to know if the LTS idea stands up to its reputation [07:59] other quistion is how can i access teh file that i have shared in windows xp? [07:59] from linux [07:59] compwiz18_: also to conserve your battery power on your notebook when you turn your notebook off, you should take out the battery and just plug in the power suppily when you are using it for extended periods plugged in [07:59] redd0t: now what :) [08:00] andy_: been doing that. charging the battery and using the computer makes the screen flicker [08:00] tabman: try running through the menus. and selecting everything.

[08:01] cylence, it wouldnt be a bad idea [08:01] macd: :/ [08:01] cylence, if the sites are important just grab a rails machine for a month, or something on media temple [08:01] macd: I'm starting to get that bad feeling that you might be right [08:01] can any one please help how can i access the files that i have shared in windows xp? [08:01] one month 20 bux and give you all the time you needed to migrate [08:01] cylence: should be able to do a distupgrade [08:01] compwiz18_: I am using a lenovo t60p and i am in love with it [08:01] macd: again, not a horrible idea [08:01] B: hmm? [08:01] I'd rather do a fresh install for that myself [08:02] cylence, I'm full of good ideas ;) [08:02] well, it *is* a fairly recently installed system [08:02] andy_: no funny power supplies? [08:02] macd: haha, humble too!! [08:02] hardy is getting a full rails stack on the server version b/c of me ;) [08:02] macd: oh, very nice!! [08:02] yeah actually I am most of the time [08:02] jyust had a rought week, have to pat myself on the back [08:02] helpppppppppppppppppppppppppppp [08:02] macd: lol [08:02] cylence: like B said you can upgrade rather then reinstall, you'll have to upgrade to all the versions since LTS one by one though... [08:02] anyone an idea regarding laptop suspend ? [08:02] macd: sometimes ya just have to [08:02] apt-get dist-upgrade [08:03] compwiz18_: I used to have a dell and it was a royal pain in the rear end. That was back in the day of the prescott core p4 [08:03] ifireball: geesh. I'm wondering if it would not just be easier/faster to save my apache conf file and do that upgrade. [08:03] where do i set the domain name in ubuntu server? hostname is set in /etc/hostname [08:03] cylence, well apache is different in going from 2.0 to 2.2 [08:03] it makes me cry just thinking about it [08:03] !repeat | aram [08:03] aram: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [08:03] its modular, and your configs will be different [08:03] andy_: I've got a compaq v2000, starting to show some wear, I think. works great, except for the aforementioned problems [08:04] cylence, I can point you to all the config info for the setup we run, apache2.2 + mongrel_cluster [08:04] !domainname [08:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about domainname - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:04] cylence: make sure you backup the system though [08:04] cylence, and the instructions, I wrote the doc, its not bad [08:04] cylence: it may, YMMV... [08:04] macd: fair enough, I suppose I meant to keep what settings I have currently in the VirtualDirectory department, not to just drop it in place [08:04] B: *very* good point [08:04] bazhang: how can accsess my file from linux which are shared in xp [08:05] yeah, your vhosts change alot, but its still easy, just all split up into multiple files now rather than one big file [08:05] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy aram [08:05] Compwiz18_: lenovo makes the best laptops. hands down. I found a site to get mine up to 40% off. www.laptopbroker.com [08:05] bazhang: thanks a lot [08:05] bazhang: bye for know [08:05] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RubyOnRailsStack towards the bottom has the config files and mongrel scripts [08:05] CruX: I am sry...i dont have more informations on this...my 8600 is not supported bey nVidia yet so... [08:05] B: simply doing "apt-get dist-upgrade" will probably break the system... aptitude may work better, but back in LTS that was a bupmy ride in any case... [08:05] ifireball: I have no doubt [08:05] bazhang: now [08:05] alright then, thanks as always guys! [08:06] andy_: theres no way I'm getting a new one until this one doesn't start... so I have to hope it keeps chugging along [08:06] why isn't my cd auto-mounting [08:06] ifireball: I'm only familar with 7.10, so I have no i dear how any other version works (what quirk may be in them versions) [08:07] flake: audio cd? [08:07] B: then please don't give this kind of tips... [08:07] data dvd [08:07] backed stuff off my old pc [08:08] compwiz_: I am going to put my old laptop parts in a tower so i can use them even if the laptop power suppily is bad. you might end up doing that [08:08] i'm looking to do a minimal install of ubuntu - is there a version that is very tiny? i minimal install of debian ends up being about to 380mb. i'm looking for something smaller. [08:08] !minimal [08:08] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:08] kaxie_: look at minix [08:08] kaxi: see above [08:09] there was a minimal cd?!? [08:09] i didn't know that [08:09] hmm... was that too much of an insult? [08:09] kaxi_: you could also try DSL (damn small linux) that is 50 mb [08:09] I have a compro videomate u500 usb dvb-t tuner - i have the tuner all working great, but I am unable to get the included remote to work? [08:09] Can i run Ubuntu with Daemon tools? Oo [08:10] does anyone have any hints on how to set a Ubuntu server to permanently use other keyboard layout than it's configured currently? (the system doesn't have X in it) === _max is now known as max` [08:10] I've tried almost evertything I've googled into [08:10] hello [08:10] andy_ DSL is like 150mb installed. i also need something that is maintained. [08:10] Memot, why??... you can mount any image you want from command line or GMOUNT [08:10] DSL is 50 mb [08:10] cd [08:11] but [08:11] everything is missing [08:11] kaxi_: are you looking for a system to run an ftp server on? [08:11] Myrtti: you're trying to get keyboard layouts to work in the console? [08:11] Myrtti: or over SSH from some putty/etc. window? [08:12] andy_ yes. basically. [08:12] kaxi_: yellowdog linux (ppl help me out here) does anyone know how big this is? [08:12] ifireball: yep. I've added loadkeys just to be sure again on rc2, I've got the environment settings in .bash_profile... but still I need to do loadkeys again after login and to get them to work in nano I have to run kbd-config [08:13] apparently this automounting of dvd is an issue, according to the forums, like a small bug [08:13] andy_ yellowdog is for non-x86 systems. i'm looking for x86 distros. [08:13] kaxi_: well my professor runs a distro off of a floppy, it is headless though [08:14] they keep resetting, I'm not sure if the problem exists because it's runnin in vmware [08:14] Myrtti: running loadkeys from .bash_profile doens't work for you? [08:14] pls help me removing tracker. it seems not possible to remove tracker without affecting nautilus [08:15] ifireball: well, in .bash_profile I don't have permissions to run them [08:15] ifireball: but I've got LANG and LC_ALL set there [08:15] I mounted it using K3b [08:16] Myrtti: well the LANG and LC_* variables influence how programs work they don't influence key afaik [08:17] My desktop is connected through my Linksys router, and I wanna access it remotely. I have a DynDNS account, and my router can successfully update the DNS to the correct IP address. But....that just points to my "network" IP address, how do I access my desktop? (if that makes sense) [08:17] My desktop's name is tony-desktop....do I use that somewhere? [08:18] !info ssh [08:18] ssh: secure shell client and server (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.6p1-5build1 (gutsy), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB [08:18] What kind of access you mean? tonyr1988 ?? [08:18] Well, I have MythTV installed, so I mainly want to access MythWeb (it's just a site via the apache server) [08:19] tonyr-1988: its something nice you can call your computer when it is bad :) [08:19] From my laptop, I can just go to 192.168.1.100/mythweb [08:19] But, how can I access that from outside my network? [08:19] Myrtti: do you have usplash (graphical boot) running on the system? [08:20] tonyr1998: what is your question? just came here [08:20] ifireball: no [08:20] tonyr1988: then you should do a port forward to your computer [08:20] Benalex, Would that be through my router or my computer? [08:20] tonyr1998: router [08:20] scguy318: Thanks [08:20] kaxi_: sorry i was not able to be helpful, you could try googleing [08:21] Myrtti: seems that /etc/init.d/keyboard-setup should be doing all the work for you, I'm looking into it [08:21] tonyr1988: through your router... for instructions go www.portforward.com and select your router and follow instructions [08:21] andy_ i'm investigating. i think i need something that has a reduce sized kernel [08:21] Can someone please help me install Java? [08:22] so um, I put the ubuntu install disc in - and I'm staring at a peach background [08:22] Benalex: Ohhh.....so if I set up the port forward properly, and my network IP address is 70.178.xxx.xx, then I could do 70.178.xxx.xx:123 and access my desktop? [08:22] what is the offtopic channel [08:22] Thornsberr1: want a factoid link? [08:22] kaxi_: do you mind headless systems... without a GUI [08:22] tonyr1988: PINGO!! :)) [08:22] hi all [08:22] Benalex: Awesome - thanks a ton! [08:22] bazhang, well I tried going through what java.com said and it didn't install properly. [08:22] Myrtti: have you tried changing /etc/default/console-setup ? [08:22] could someone help me with grub? [08:22] falieson: wait a bit [08:23] hi, is there an easy way to convert flash files to avi or something? cheers [08:23] ifireball: yup [08:23] Perff: I will [08:23] falieson: or is there no ongoing system activity? [08:23] Eyeman: ffmpeg probably [08:23] !java | Thornsberr1 [08:23] Thornsberr1: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre [08:23] Myrtti: what did you put there? [08:23] how do i find my network ip address? [08:23] andy_ i actually need to install x on the system and a few other programs. in the end it'll have to be under 1gb with applications i need. the basic system though without x has to be less than 380mb. [08:24] scguy318: asked me about the clock, I said 'sure i'll chagne it' and it said ti couldn't configure clock right now... and now I still have this peach background [08:24] jklock: i can't find what to pass to root= (at kernel line) so it can boot. any parameter makes kernel panic. i tried update-grub. with removing one or two kopt lines. [08:24] my root is on /dev/sda10 and this line doesn't work also. [08:24] k cheers scguy318 [08:24] !offtopic [08:24] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:24] kaxi_: allright, i understand now [08:24] falieson: interesting, mm, could you possibly check the integrity of your CD? [08:24] andy_ i have figured out how to reduce the size of x. the kernel and modules seem to be taking up the largest portion of space on the basic base debian installs. [08:25] Perff: pastebin your menu.lst [08:25] jklock: not to mention that i tried to install ubuntu from livecd several times and it always failed to set up grub [08:25] scguy318: I verified it when I burned it [08:25] kaxi_: you are running it off of a pen drive then? www.pendrivelinux.com [08:25] scguy318: but I'll use the CD test [08:25] ifireball: let mee see... [08:25] falieson: if the LiveCD is not working out for you see !install [08:25] falieson: there are many other options besides the LiveCD [08:25] !install [08:25] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[08:25] andy_ not exactly. but it is safe to assume that same basic setup. [08:26] yeah... maybe I'll just do gentoo instead [08:26] I have had success with gentoo [08:26] jklock http://pastebin.com/m37d0f952 [08:26] freind said i should try ubuntu [08:26] kaxi_: my bad. I am of no help [08:26] you guys tell me any particular advantaeg that I should keep trying this ubuntu jazz? [08:26] Myrtti: also check of just running "setupcon -k" works instead of running "loadkeys" [08:26] falieson: sure, try whatever suits you [08:26] falieson: um, APT, comes with lots of hardware support out of box [08:27] falieson: not really. this is a support channel [08:27] falieson its secure, free, customizable, easy etc... [08:27] how do i find my network ip address? [08:27] andy_ that's ok- i appreciate any suggestions. [08:27] falieson_: it is more stable than windows, it is free, you actually learn things when you are using it... [08:27] how do i install the flash plugin for firefox? [08:27] hobojohn3: ifconfig [08:27] thanks guys [08:27] um, i was trying to say advantage over gentoo [08:27] ah [08:27] OH [08:27] well its easier in my opinion [08:28] falieson: essentially, I find that APT makes life easier then portage, though it may not be as flexible [08:28] portage ick [08:28] fwaokda: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173890 [08:28] i hated portage :< [08:28] falieson: note that ubuntu is a binary distro rather then a source one [08:28] hello [08:28] ifireball: thanks, you helped me so much :-) [08:28] could it be that editing xorg.conf to add languages, when compiz is running, will crash the system? [08:29] Myrtti: i did? how? [08:29] ifireball: yeah, that's so far been the selling point to me, not have to wait 8hours for kde [08:29] Anyone know of any software I can use to sync my hard drive to my server via ftp? [08:29] how do i install compiz ?? [08:29] hi does anyone know if ffmpeg is a command line tool? [08:29] it was the /etc/default/console-setup [08:29] falieson: that's why I switched as well ;) [08:29] Drixx command: sudo apt-get install compiz-settings-manager [08:29] Myrtti: syntax error? [08:29] (08:26:15 AM) Perff: jklock http://pastebin.com/m37d0f952 [08:30] thnx dude [08:30] Drixx: its sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager [08:30] np and enable the desktop effects [08:30] ah sorry :/ [08:30] ok on the usplash screen my monitor has a fit whenever it pops up saying it dosnt support the resolution settings on the usplash screen so i made a change on /boot/grub/menu.lst to the entry where it says "# defoptions=quiet splash" to "# defoptions=quiet splash vga=788" that is supposed to set the resolution to 800x600 my monitor still says it dosnt support the settings on the usplash screen any ideas? maybe the screen refresh rate b [08:30] scguy318, umm can i not get it form apt-get in terminal some how? [08:30] falieson: though in may case I was a long time Debian user by the time I tried Gentoo, so Ubuntu was natural for me... [08:31] anyone can help me to understand how to fill root= parameter in grub? [08:32] ifireball: I've used a lot of freebsd before I went to gentoo, I never figured out the debian isntall... but that was almost 8 years ago... I'm sure things have changed since then :-) [08:32] ciao [08:32] Chris.. it says Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "compizconfig-settings-manager" [08:32] !ccsm | Drixx [08:32] Drixx: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'.

[08:33] ifireball - i mean root= for kernel [08:33] how to install compiz manager ? [08:33] ifireball: obvious variants like /dev/sda10 don't work [08:33] falieson: if you're a BSD jokie, Ubuntu may just be too easy for you :P [08:33] (0,1) is partition 2 on disk 1 not 2! [08:33] Drixx for the easier way go to synaptic package manager and search for compiz then install the settings manager for compiz [08:33] falieson: i never figured out the debian install either. ubuntu just works :o [08:34] linxeh: i would like ubuntu to just work, for me installer fails miserably [08:34] falieson: but again, debians last visit here was like 7 years ago :) if you want a challenge try open-darwin [08:34] Perff: did you use the alternate cd ? [08:34] offtopic [08:34] linxeh: i used ordinary gutsy live cd [08:35] thnx chris [08:35] Perff: because /dev/XXX are files on root, they can't work before its mounted... I see that the current Ubuntu convention is to user UUID identifiers [08:35] I'm not looking for a challenge, heh - I'm setting up a home theater Pc [08:35] is there anythign else i can use to convert flash to avi apart from ffmpeg [08:35] your welcome [08:35] ifireball: nice, nice, how can i find out those UUID? [08:36] blkid [08:36] !uuid | Perff [08:36] Perff: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [08:36] Perff: yeah, see ubotu [08:37] doing safe graphic install mode, why does it go to like 1650x1050 res? lol [08:37] hmmm it looks like UUID is correct [08:37] I'm at the peach screen of death again [08:37] bazhang, I'm having a problem installing a program and I keep getting an error saying "Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java5-jre" [08:37] Perff: once you got the UUID you just put root=UUID=XXXXX in the menu.lst file [08:37] i will retry rebooting then [08:37] bazhang, any ideas as to what I could do to fix it? [08:37] Thornsberr1: installed from the repos? [08:37] ifireball: i suspect that it is the same UUID for which I already failed to boot several times with kernel panic [08:38] bazhang, what is repos? [08:38] ok i'll try [08:38] !repos [08:38] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource [08:38] Perff: then maybe its something else rather then it simply not finding the FS, what kind of FS is it, what kind of disk/partition ? [08:39] how long do I have to wait? [08:39] from where to run compiz ?? [08:40] Drixx go to system > admin > enable desktop effects [08:40] you might have to install the driver for your graphics card [08:41] what is the name of the program that can search and replace in multiple files at once? (it was kde program if I remember correctly) [08:42] bazhang, I still can't get it to install. [08:42] how do i get to compiz to change some settings ? [08:42] Thornsberr1: where did you try to install it from? the repos? [08:42] some please help me - I upgraded my Kernel on my desktop and now my system will not boot I have renamed the Boot/initrd to .old.bad and then named the .bak one to generic but it still hangs [08:43] hi all [08:43] bazhang, When I download it it tries to install automatically and I get the error every time. [08:43] my ubuntu grub problem persists [08:43] still waiting.. this is ridiculous [08:43] Me 2 Perfff [08:43] Thornsberr1: from where did you download it [08:43] with UUID it says on boot: "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0) [08:44] how do i open compiz ?? [08:44] ifireball [08:44] ifireball uuid doesn't help :( [08:44] bazhang, from their website. [08:44] is their anyway to install a previous version on top of this bad version? without having to format the whole drive? [08:44] Drixx system > preferences > look in here [08:45] okk [08:45] is there an experienced person here who can teach me compiling and stuff? i've read the online website but i'm not too sure about some things. [08:45] well, more of just guide me through the process of compiling from source [08:45] anyone can help me with grub? .. :( [08:46] Thornsberr1: and why not from the ubuntu software repositories? that would be the *recommended* method [08:46] Moult, typically source programs have a README, INSTALL files that explain howto configure/compile that specific app [08:46] Hello [08:46] Moult, but in general, ./configure && make && sudo make install [08:46] within the source directory [08:46] anyone know how to get Opera Web browser to play youtube videos? [08:47] I'm using a LiveCD right now, because I need to format and repartition my hard drive. Unfortunately, it seems that I can't back up some of my files in my home directory: It says that I don't have permission. How do I fix that? [08:47] bazhang, whenever I download it it opens with GDebi Package installer and I get the same error message every time. [08:47] bazhang, I don't know how to install with the repositories, I haven't used Linux for more than a week. [08:47] Thornsberr1: thus the reason to install from within ubuntu--this is not windows :} [08:48] bazhang, I can tell. I like it better so far, I think I just need to learn how to use it a little more. [08:48] ah kernel panic kernel panic [08:48] anyone? [08:48] so, guys - I changed my system clock and ubuntu loads fine [08:48] Thornsberr1: you want to open up synaptic and then enable the first four repositories [08:48] doesn't that seem kinda wrong? [08:48] jklock? [08:48] ifireball? [08:48] bazhang, I've done that already. [08:48] Thornsberr1: then hit reload and then search for ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:48] macd: yes but i am having some problems during the ./configure process [08:49] bazhang, alright, give me a second to do that. [08:49] Thornsberr1: no rush :} [08:49] bazhang, alright I found it. [08:50] how do i give my desktop cube the transparent look ?? [08:50] Moult, such as? and is the program your trying to install available via synaptic/apt-get ? (please post your errors in pastebin) [08:50] bazhang, and mark it I assume? [08:50] macd: yes it is, but i want to learn how to install it manually [08:50] it seems that one can wait for a help for ages here... [08:51] Thornsberr1: that would be a safe assumption :} [08:51] bazhang, alright, then apply the changes? [08:51] Perffff: then maybe its something else rather then it simply not finding the FS, what kind of FS is it, what kind of disk/partition ? [08:51] Moult, that a big waste of time, when its already built for the platform, by professionals. [08:51] Thornsberr1: bingo! [08:51] macd: learning is never a waste of time. [08:51] Chris: how do i get the transparent cube ?? [08:51] bazhang, alright, it's downloading now. [08:52] Moult, but your configure errors are most likely due to missing/wrong versions of libs, so you'll need tonfind and install those [08:52] bazhang, then what will I do after it downloads? [08:52] ifireball: it's ext3, disk SATA [08:52] Moult, if you want to stick ./configures output on a pastbin I'll look@it [08:52] Thornsberr1: when it comes to the java install, you will need to go to details and click ok on the user agreement [08:52] bazhang, alright. [08:53] Thornsberr1: otherwise it will just hang [08:53] Perffff: can you paste fdisk -l for me plz, also, what is the grub root set to? [08:53] bazhang, I was trying to install it the way java.com told me to using the terminal and it wasn't working for some reason. [08:54] macd: http://pastebin.com/d495d8f33 [08:54] ifireball: ok after my livecd loads... [08:54] Perffff: just paste menu.lst maybe? [08:54] i pasted menu.lst 10 mins ago or so [08:54] i can do it again surely [08:54] Perffff: I guess the live cd sees the disk ok? [08:54] Perffff: you got the link from 10 mins ago? [08:54] ifireball: yes, livecd ok [08:54] Thornsberr1: always avoid using outside sources when at all possible--the built in installers are loaded with everything you could possibly need [08:55] ifireball: no, i haven't - no chat history [08:55] bazhang, Alright, well that's good to know. I'm just waiting for the marked changes to be applied now. [08:55] Moult, looks like your missing ncurses, you can use apt-cache search ncurses to find that, then use sudo apt-get install packagename to install it [08:55] Perffff: let me see if I can find it... [08:56] is anyone familiar with a way to set up a ghetto wifi access point using a laptop, it's nearly 4 am, I'm stuck in my cubical for 4 more hours and wouldn't mind plaing some DS online.. [08:56] Thornsberr1: that way suspected cough spyware cough stuff doesnt get installed [08:56] My experience with Arch Linux so far hasn't been pleasant. How can i install an Ubuntu system that [08:56] isn't as heavyweight as the default one? Faster, but still everything works, and maybe GNOME too? [08:56] do I need internet to install ubuntu? [08:56] I can't find my lan cable [08:56] im trying to install flash plugin for firefox on ubuntu but its not working can someone help me? [08:56] bazhang, well then maybe you could help me find a program. With Windows, I used to use LimeWire. Is there anything that might be better for Linux that I could use? [08:57] ifireball: fdisk -l http://pastebin.com/d2ad4fc0d [08:57] Thornsberr1: frostwire [08:57] bazhang, I think I've heard of that. Just frostwire.com? [08:57] !info frostwire | Thornsberr1 [08:57] thornsberr1: Package frostwire does not exist in gutsy [08:57] huh? === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFK [08:57] ifireball: menu.lst http://pastebin.com/mad381e3 [08:58] Thornsberr1: ignore the bot--frostwire [08:58] bazhang you have flash installed on ubuntu? i installed my through firefox but then when i went to the page it still acted like it wasn't installed [08:58] can i connect to cdrom of a remote machine and install ubuntu from there [08:58] i tried to install again but said it was already installed [08:58] bazhang, Alright, I'm downloading it now. I knew there had to be something better. [08:58] can i connect to cdrom of a remote machine and install ubuntu from there on my machine [08:58] mcad: nope not working can you join #moult? [08:58] fwaokda: why through firefox--should be through the software repositories [08:59] hi [08:59] macd: nope not working can you join #moult ? [08:59] ifireball: how do i get list of uuids? [08:59] Perfff2: wtf? you don't have an "initrd" line, is it your own kernel? [08:59] Anyone guru on WiFi PCMCIA cards? I have checked drivers, the card identifies the WiFi router, but I can not get it to connect :/ [08:59] Thornsberr1: whatever windows has, with the exception of photoshop and CAD stuff, Ubuntu has in spades [08:59] ifireball: just usual gutsy installation [08:59] yesterday i played with samba on 7.10. now my name is away. my first and last name are deleted and now everywhere "No value has been set" is displayed. where can i set the name again? [08:59] ifireball: where can i get initrd line? [09:00] bazhang, Yeah I'm noticing that. How would I install Flash through the repositories? I don't think I've done that yet either. === kitofhawaii_ is now known as kitofhawaii [09:00] Moult, yeah [09:00] Perfff1: add "initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic" in menu.lst under the "kernel" line [09:01] Perfff1: make sure you have that file there though [09:01] bazhang, i did it through terminal too but it does alot of stuff then says, Flash Plugin NOT installed [09:01] Thornsberr1: I believe it is called flashplugin-nonfree; you need to enable the partner (canonical) repos for that I believe [09:01] bazhang, something about a md5sum mismatch [09:01] ifireball: no such file, only /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic.bak there [09:01] fwaokda: were you running firefox at the time? [09:01] hey, im following a guide for configuring lm-sensors, and it says to run a sh in the lm-sensors source, how can i figure out where that is? [09:01] bazhang, alright, I found the flashplugin-nonfree. [09:01] ifireball: but with .bak it looks like it works!!!! OMG [09:01] fwaokda: oh that--that is a bug on adobe's part--should be fixed shortly [09:02] :( [09:02] ifireball: I spent like 6 hours of my life on this stupid thing... why wasn't it there from the start? [09:02] bazhang, how do i get it b4 they fix it? [09:02] Perfff1: crappy.... for some reason it failed generating the initrd image on install.... [09:02] fwaokda: I've got the .deb sitting around here [09:02] ifireball: why is it .bak? is it bad or so? should i use it? [09:02] fwaokda: before or after? best to wait a bit for the fix [09:02] oooh can you hook me up with it plz [09:03] bazhang, alright, I got it. Thanks again. [09:03] Perfff1: the .bak is probably a generic file, it should generate a file specific to your system on the fly [09:03] lemme know if you're getting that? [09:03] can i connect to cdrom of a remote machine and install ubuntu from there on my machine [09:03] Cubexombi, not working is it something im doing wrong? [09:03] ifireball: how can i do it? [09:03] Thornsberr1: come back when other issues arise--well be here :} [09:04] ifireball: i successfully booted into my system [09:04] fwaokda: could be my connection here .. [09:04] Perfff1: if its a new install you'll probably get a new kernel on the next update, so it should sort things out (make a new initrd/etc.) [09:04] try again [09:04] bazhang, well I've found this chatroom to be the most helpful out of anything I've read online. [09:04] ifireball: ok i'll try [09:04] Thornsberr1: thus the advantage of Ubuntu :} [09:05] Perfff1: you can generate initrd by hand, but its just hard work, and like I said, next kernel upgrade should sort that [09:05] Cubexombi, still not working... where did you get this from? [09:05] bazhang, Yeah, it's much more effective. I remember when I tried getting all my music on Windows to show up on my 360 it took me hours of time on the phone only for them to tell me they didn't know why it wouldn't work. [09:05] fwaokda: could e-mail it if you need, it's a patch, I'll see if I can't find where i got it from for you [09:06] k thnks === ajmorris_|AFK is now known as ajmorris_ [09:06] Thornsberr1: come for the help, stay for the ambience haha [09:07] bazhang, haha [09:07] :} [09:07] bazhang, Ubuntu doesn't seem too difficult to use it's just still all foreign to me. [09:08] can some one please help me identify this window system???? http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/7539/newgraysmv4lw1.png [09:08] Hi there, is it possible to scroll in a TTY? How do I do that then? [09:08] Thornsberr1: wait til wireless though; if you have a poorly supported card that is--the one big weak point of linux [09:09] fwaokda: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 Look for the blue text.. you'll see the download link [09:09] Cubexombi, found it here... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 but seems i need to register yeah? [09:09] oh.. I'm registered.. that would be why [09:09] bazhang, I'm using my wireless card right now and it said it's not supported but I haven't run into a problem with it yet. [09:10] Thornsberr1: well that is nice then :} [09:10] fwaokda: I'll get it to you in a sec [09:10] hey, im following a guide for configuring lm-sensors, and it says to "run the mkdev.sh script in the lm-sensors source", how can i figure out where that file should be? [09:10] i just registered [09:10] bazhang, that's the same thing I said. I don't care if it is supported or not as long as it is working as it should be; which it is. [09:10] sweet [09:10] Cubexombi, ty though you've been a big help! [09:11] what desktop is this http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/7539/newgraysmv4lw1.png [09:11] bazhang, Alright, I have another question if you don't mind. [09:11] hey no sweat.. it's either this Or I play with my DS [09:11] Thornsberr1: shoot! === thyrax_afk is now known as thyrax [09:11] Thornsberr1: fluxbox ? [09:12] bazhang, I installed frostwire and it's running and working fine without a problem. But whenever I go to the applications and to click on the program instead of the frostwire icon next to the name it just has a blank window. [09:12] bazhang, is there any way that I could change that little icon to show the frostwire icon? [09:12] linxeh you mean me? [09:12] Thornsberr1: but seriously, it looks like what we were using in the early 90's, or before maybe [09:12] thyrax: yes [09:12] sorry [09:12] blurry eyed :) [09:12] lol [09:12] is it fluxbox I wouldn't know have never used it [09:12] Cubexombi, haha nice well it works now! :D [09:13] Thornsberr1: not sure there--perhaps some other folks could step in? sorry... :} [09:13] can fluxbox run on ubuntu? [09:13] thyrax: yes [09:13] bazhang, alright, it's not that big of a deal I was just wondering. [09:13] the patch did it for ya? good... [09:13] is it hard to install I have only ever run gnome i tried xubuntu and xfce but went back to gnome [09:13] Cubexombi, what you playing on ds? [09:14] thyrax: not hard to install; somewhat more difficult than gnome to configure though [09:14] If I do a full install of gutsy 7.10 can I go back and install fluxbox over it or am I better off starting from scratch or installing flux box over ubuntu server or mini iso install [09:14] Cubexombi, i had a m3lite but it keeps losing my saves so i quit using it... bummed me out when i lost my Dragon Quest Slime saves :( [09:14] Current;y .. just about everything, trying to get my Laptop working as an AP though (have an R4DS) [09:15] thyrax: you can add it to an existing install [09:15] Hello [09:15] hey [09:15] Dos any one have a solution yet for the no sound in firefox when you watch videos like on youtube? [09:16] ok then I guess ill look into it. I like the clean interface. thanks guys! [09:16] skullhead: do you have sound on other apps like totem or rythmbox? [09:17] ya all my media players work [09:18] skullhead, i just got a patch for flash plugin have you gotten it? [09:18] skullhead http://sendderek.wordpress.com/2007/10/20/how-to-fix-the-no-sound-issue-in-firefox-flash/ [09:18] nvm cubexombi got ya :) [09:18] thx guys [09:19] do i have to restart firefox after the package is installed? [09:19] ok nvm ya i have this allready [09:20] bazhang, I got it. [09:20] Thornsberr1: great news! [09:20] anyone know the Q&D way to set up a laptop as a wifi AP? [09:21] was wine updated in the new release? ever since I upgraded it crashes a lot more often [09:21] bazhang, just a matter of going to system > preferences > main menu and then changing the icon to whatever you want it to be. [09:21] whats up with all this ron paul stuff [09:21] skullhead, didn't work? [09:21] my mother told me never to trust a person with two first names [09:21] bazhang, I had to download a small picture of the icon but that's not much. [09:21] nope [09:21] Thornsberr1: good to know, thanks! [09:22] im looking at wat i should have my mixer set to [09:22] bazhang, I know that question was a little unusual but at least if anyone asks it again you'll have the answer. [09:22] Thornsberr1: you have already begun to give back to the community. Cheers! [09:23] hi [09:23] guys [09:23] anyone here know of a way i can fix a windows xp partition on my computer through linux? its missing the boot.ini file but i dont have a xp cd around to do a recovery console [09:23] bazhang, well I'll try as much as I can. I helped one of my friends by telling him how to fix the backspace button on Firefox. [09:23] bazhang, that annoyed me for a while. [09:23] Thornsberr1: nice work! === kaxi is now known as ryan34 [09:24] bazhang, Oh, I have another question while I'm thinking of it if you don't mind. [09:24] fwaokda: you might be able with ntfs3g, I didn't try it though [09:24] Thornsberr1: ok..last one though--you are at your limit already :} [09:24] bazhang, what is the Linux equivalent to the windows command prompt ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew? [09:24] whats ntfs3g? [09:25] fwaokda: and you'll need to get the boot.ini file from somewhere [09:25] oh well thats my problem... i dont have the file it somehow disappeared [09:25] fwaokda: its a linux module to allow reading/writing of NTFS filesystems [09:25] Thornsberr1: in the terminal ifconfig? is that what you mean? to check the devices? or something else [09:26] no that dident work cube [09:27] bazhang, well I got that but from what I know, which is very little, ipconfig /release would release the IP address that you'd have and then /renew would get another one. Kind of like repairing the connection. I'd have to do that every now and again with my old ISP cause sometimes it'd just stop working and that'd be the only thing that would fix it. [09:27] hey, im following a guide for configuring lm-sensors, and it says to "run the mkdev.sh script in the lm-sensors source", how can i figure out where that file should be? [09:27] ifup ifdown though I'm just guessing at this point Thornsberr1 would have to google for it :} [09:28] bazhang, alright. I'll do that sometime. [09:28] Thornsberr1: cheers! [09:28] fwaokda: well, it might be possible to replace it with something from linux (for example ntldr can be replaced with grub) but I don't know what that file does so can't help you there [09:28] bazhang, Where are you from to always be on at this time? UK? [09:28] hi, what is the package name for the graphical dialer? [09:29] ya my sound in firefox still isent working after that fix [09:29] Thornsberr1: offtopic but TW; you should join #ubuntu-offtopic :} [09:29] Could someone please help a newbie set up usb wifi adapter? [09:29] I've tried the documentation and the advice in the forums, but to no avail. [09:30] skullhead: what DE are you using? [09:30] The prism2_usb driver should work for it, but it doesn't. [09:30] At least, what I've done hasn't worked. [09:30] bazhang, Maybe sometime. But I'm headed off for now. Thanks again for the help and I'm sure I'll be back sooner rather than later. [09:31] see you later Thornsberr1; it's been a pleasure :} [09:31] sorry still a little new wats DE? [09:31] skule: desktop environment, e.g. Gnome or KDE [09:31] gnome [09:32] what ubuntu version? [09:32] 7.10 [09:35] how can I get notified about mail , when thunderbird is not running ? [09:36] vb: you can install gnubiff [09:36] vb: then add it to your gnome panel [09:36] hello, i'm new to ubuntu and i have a problem with my nvidia 8500gt card and its driver [09:37] I installed mail-notification , but the icon is clumsy, it works though, but clicking the icons opens Evolution, WTF ! [09:38] so is that fix spos to work with 7.10? [09:39] skullhead: try to see if you can get the sound to work if you don't run any other media player [09:39] !screenlets [09:39] Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [09:40] skullhead: also check if you have "esd" running "ps -ef | grep -i esd" should return just one line [09:40] has anyone successfully installed virtualbox with win2k? [09:41] skullhead: I don't really know what that "fix" does, I'd be careful not to use "fixes" like that [09:41] ICEcoffee: I have it running XP [09:42] did you get any errors loading OS? [09:42] ok [09:42] ICEcoffee: unless you mean to have VB run _inside_ w2k... [09:42] ICEcoffee: nope, it "just worked".... [09:42] why do you want to run me === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFK [09:43] ifireball: did you download virtualbox from repos?

[09:45] i can't make the driver to work for my nvidia 8500 gt card [09:46] my screen turns black every time after i install the driver [09:46] Hi all. Can somebody tell what is generating a file called core in the homedirs of the users??? [09:47] i tried glx and glx_new [09:47] Wh1rlw1nd: thats like a bug-report-file [09:47] is there any tool I can use to replace the html é characters with proper characters? [09:47] i tried both dvi and analog [09:47] Wh1rlw1nd: when something crash it generates a core [09:47] mavi- it is 33 MB [09:47] Wh1rlw1nd: its machine-readable and contains a memory dump and stuff [09:47] and is only stings [09:47] Wh1rlw1nd: type "file core" and find out [09:48] Hey guys [09:48] ifireball : core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style This is the output [09:48] i have trouble watching videos on gutsy [09:48] Is there any alternative to iTunes for ubuntu [09:48] ?? [09:48] seems to be a common problem [09:48] Wh1rlw1nd: "core" files are generated when apps crash, they are basically memory dumps of the apps at crash-time [09:48] I need to sync my iPod to ubuntu [09:49] ToastGuy , Songbird is a pretty good alternative. [09:49] ToastGuy: the default media player can do that [09:49] so I can delete it, before I backup, ifireball right [09:49] join [09:49] sure [09:49] as i found quite a lot other people having the same prob in forums [09:49] toastguy - rythem box is able to sync with your ipod [09:49] on ubuntu? [09:49] Wh1rlw1nd: delete ahead, nothing can go wrong from it =) [09:49] (which is the default player) [09:49] Wh1rlw1nd: yeah [09:49] is there any known workaround? [09:49] ;) thanks mavi- ifireball [09:49] toastguy, yes ubuntu [09:50] rudihawk: thanks [09:50] iPod Touch? [09:50] can someone remind me how to execute BASH instead of GNOME at startup? [09:50] I'm sure it's using the same protocols [09:50] so, someone, plz? [09:50] have you tried using rythem box and your ipod? [09:51] bazhang, Could I get one more quick question in before the night is done with? [09:51] there's somone italian [09:51] is there someone italian? [09:51] toastguy - have u enable the portable played - "ipod" plugin [09:51] rudihawk: i didn't know it existed before you told me [09:51] rudihawk: ok [09:52] theelbermungster: they are not interchangeable, gnome is a graphical environment, bash is a textual shell... [09:52] *player [09:52] theelbermungster: do you want your system to not load the graphical environment? [09:52] rudihawk: how does the sharing work? [09:52] yes, I need to run e2defrag. [09:52] rudihawk: does it share the same way iTunes shares? [09:53] theelbermungster: oh so you want to do this just one time? [09:53] rudihawk: unfortunately I'm still stuck with some windows machines [09:53] toastguy, do you mean when you would like to transfer music your ipod? [09:53] yes ifireball [09:53] toastguy,oh, do you mean like over a network? [09:53] ya [09:54] rudihawk: like you would normally be able to do from iTunes app [09:54] theelbermungster: just reboot, press [ESC] when it tells you to get the Grub menu and select the 2nd line (recovery mode) [09:54] rudihawk: i'm just asking [09:54] rudihawk: I can test it out of course [09:54] ciao [09:55] !list [09:55] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [09:55] toastguy, I wouldnt really know about syncing it, i dont have an ipod :P [09:55] sorry man [09:55] rudihawk: okay here's another stupid question... [09:56] rudihawk: is there anyway to view files over the network on a windows machine? [09:56] toastguy, - there are no stupid questions [09:56] lol [09:56] toastguy - yea! [09:56] hi! anybody on intel imac with ubuntu? [09:56] oh really [09:56] rudihawk: how so? [09:56] \\mywindowscomputer\mydir\ [09:56] toastguy there is: system>administration>shared folders [09:57] you will have to install samba [09:57] and then you should be able to browse your windows network as per normal [09:57] samba is a windows app? [09:57] thanks, ifireball. [09:58] toastguy - just let me check [09:58] rudihawk: I see what your talking about now [09:58] I just installed 7.10 on a friend's notebook for her, and we have a no sound issue. I added noacpi to the boot line of the kernel and nothing, tried booting with no power (the normal fixes) and still no sound. Alternative ideas anyone? [09:59] rudihawk: it's asking me to install "Samba to share folders with Windows/Linux systems" [09:59] Anyone know of a way to delete all unneeded library packages? [09:59] davf, sudo apt-get autoremove or sudo apt-get autoclean maybe? [09:59] < Installing Samba now [10:00] toastguy - thats what you would like it to do [10:00] rudihawk: cool [10:01] is this also fluxbox? http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8923/20070303moparxgf3.png [10:01] did that but I still find that I can manually choose library packages for removal and they don't show dependencies in synaptic [10:01] simimi ^ [10:01] deborphan doesn't show them either. [10:02] davf, then I am not sure after that... perhaps they are not completely independent? [10:02] toastguy - do you want to browse the windows folders from your linux computer, or the other way around? [10:02] Question: I have a Logitech Quickcam Express that works just fine in camorama and xawtv, etc. I can test it using any program and it runs smoothly. However, when I begin to broadcast my cam on my Yahoo! account using Kopete it freezes the moment it is being viewed. What can I do to fix this? [10:03] does anyone know what it's called if you click down on the mouse wheel in firefox, and you can scroll the page by moving the mouse up and down? [10:03] hi all, im trying to get into the yahoo.com chat im getting " an external application must be launched to handle ymsgr: links. requested link: ymsgr:chat? Application: purple-url-handler "%s" i click on launch application and nothing happens, any ideas anyone? [10:03] simimi, when I click on them for complete removal they don't show dependent files to be also deleted. [10:03] Hey guys, this .thumbnails folder is EATING my hard drive [10:03] how can i tone it down? [10:03] plz, help :-( [10:03] simimi no big deal anyway. just wondering. [10:03] rudihawk: I want to see the MUSIC files on my windows machine [10:04] I've been having problems with vlc and audacity the past two days and I'm just trying to figure out what might be the problem. [10:04] is this fluxbox? http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/8923/20070303moparxgf3.png [10:04] toastguy - ok i understand, well samba should work nicely in that case :) [10:04] vasilisa: d/l less images? :P [10:04] How can I see what sound card is on a system, lspci ?something [10:05] ifireball: c.c [10:05] toastguy - you can then go to places>network, and see if you can see your folder then [10:05] rudihawk: Okay I'm confused... how do I browse that machine. I don't see anywhere to enter my Windows Network address [10:05] Did anyone read my question? I'm having difficulty with my webcam freezing as soon as I broadcast it on Kopete. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about it. [10:05] rudihawk: you read my mind [10:05] simimi: yeah. lspci will give you a hint [10:05] toastguy - let me know if that works.... [10:05] none of the filters are working in audacity and the preview starts before the popup that says previewing and it says the equaliser filters are missing. [10:05] toastguy - haha, ;) [10:06] gluonman, normally if you have a question, people will jump on it, but some questions may be outside our current expertise, so ask a bit later [10:06] after last update my sd-cards are not mountet automatically anymore. how can i repair this? [10:06] ahh... got it, many thanks!! [10:06] vasilisa: but really, unfortunately I don't currently know of a feature to limit it [10:06] simimi, I figured as much. But with no one saying anything it's hard to know if I'm being ignored or asking a question to which no one knows the answer. [10:07] vasilisa: you can delete it from time to time though and it'll get recreated (hopefully smaller) [10:07] has somebody an idea about that? [10:08] rudihawk: I don't have a decoder? [10:08] rudihawk: okay, I see the files now [10:08] ToastGuy: you can either select "Connect to Server" from the places menu or type ctrl+L in nautilus and type smb://SERVER/share [10:08] rudihawk: now what about getting this to show [10:08] soho, when you boot into grub, try going into the recover mode and see what happened, or look through your log to see what was installed and see if anything was changed.

[10:23] Busybyeski: Ubuntu will DESTROY vista on install... (or so I'd like to say... but it wont...) [10:23] i was confused by manual partition creation [10:23] rudihawk: you seriously could live in the same area... Sometimes it amazes me how local the internet makes everyone. [10:24] so i went with guided, but it's not as easy as i had hoped for [10:24] Busybyeski, i don' remenber the step 7 [10:24] marlon, it's confirmation [10:24] The following partitions are going to be formatted: [10:24] partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) as ext3 [10:24] partition #5 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) as swap [10:24] toastguy, lol - yea for all you know, i could be your next door neighbour [10:24] is that what i want?

[10:27] yes [10:27] Hey you guys, I just want to say the Ubuntu community is awesome... [10:28] How do I automatically launch a command as root at wake-up from suspend?

[10:28] i think i executed it, where do i look for the result haha [10:28] the same place you executed it [10:28] i used the little button next to the user name =\ [10:28] open a xterm [10:29] run it there [10:29] How do I build 2.6 kernel with a separate destination directory ... want to build outside the sources [10:29] I don't seem to be asking google the right questions :( [10:29] Busybyeski: Applications->Accessories->Terminal [10:29] i get no response? [10:29] Shahab: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Configuration [10:29] i need help with nvidia driver [10:30] kbingham: use kernel-package [10:30] just a new prompt [10:30] Busybyeski: then type "sudo fdisk -l" in there [10:30] Busybyeski: and at this prompt enter the command [10:30] sudo worked [10:30] wanted to build my own :) [10:30] can i paste the whole thing here [10:30] kbingham: yes and you use kernel-packag for this [10:30] !paste | Busybyeski [10:30] Busybyeski: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [10:30] !paste | Busybyeski [10:31] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49142/ [10:32] my two partitions now are my hard disk and a recovery thing that came with HP that i don't think i'll ever use [10:32] Busybyeski: do you have and free unallocated space on your harddisk? [10:32] i'm pretty sure all the space is allocated [10:32] *any free [10:32] but a lot is free === sasha_ is now known as epifanio [10:32] but ubuntu can only install if you have some free space or ext3 formatted space [10:32] unallocated space only [10:33] make some space unallocated [10:33] i thought the installer could do a little partition magic to unallocate some of my space [10:33] Guys... I tried to resize my main partition (NTFS) but it just failed. Tried to defrag, to remove any files, and it still fails. Any idea?! [10:33] can i do that through the installer or through ubuntu or do i have to boot back to vista to unallocate space? [10:34] first defrag your windows disks [10:34] then run gparted on the disk from ubuntu and resize [10:34] gparted is on the liveCD and can be run from vista? [10:34] or can i defrag through ubuntu? [10:35] hey... so I just did an install of ubuntu, what's the pass for root? [10:35] yea its on the livecd [10:35] the installer will ask you how to partition [10:35] gparted can be run from livecd, not from vista that is [10:35] there is no root password [10:35] can i defrag from livecd? [10:35] and gparted does not defrag [10:35] sudo -i will get you a root shell [10:35] I said defrag THEN resize [10:35] if you are labeled as an administrator [10:35] i know [10:36] Busybyeski: you can't defrag from Ubuntu, you have to do that from vista, and you can't run gparted from vista you have to do that from ubuntu [10:36] wols_: can i defrag from ubuntu [10:36] Oddd: don't tell people that please [10:36] so i'm looking at a few reboots here? [10:36] Busybyeski: no [10:36] oh.. sorry [10:36] (?) [10:36] okie doke [10:36] Oddd: is there a root user? isn't that something that is kinda concerning? [10:36] there is [10:36] but you cannot login as root [10:36] !toor | falieso1 [10:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about toor - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:36] so defrag both of my drives? [10:36] !root | falieso1 [10:37] falieso1: 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 [10:37] if you sudo you should only run one command per "session" :) [10:37] can i connect to cdrom of a remote machine and install ubuntu from there on my machine [10:37] falieso1, linux cannot live without a super user [10:37] !install | user11_011 [10:37] user11_011: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [10:37] user11_011: possible, but quite difficult [10:37] wols_: how much longer are you looking to stay around? think you'll be here after a defrag? [10:37] (one command.... like /bin/sh?) [10:38] Busybyeski, what defrag are you talking about? defrag is win only? [10:38] sorry, I'm just used to gentoo [10:38] Oddd: i guess shell doesn't count :P [10:38] Oddd: yeah, you can do that "su -" as well if you want to be cleaner about it [10:38] lazz0: it was recommended that i defrag before i create a new partition with gparted [10:38] Hiya ... i have lost my email password ... but its stored in evolution is there a way to see it ? as we know we can do that in Thunderbird ... [10:39] wols_: I defraged in windows, and used Ubuntu's default particion manager... [10:39] NekoKun: and? [10:39] wols_: still error... [10:39] what error? [10:40] NekoKun: did I ever give you any advice? [10:40] i'll go defrag [10:40] bbl [10:40] thanks for the help if you're not back when i am [10:40] Busybyeski: bakup!!!! [10:40] Busybyeski: backup!!!! [10:40] :\ i don't have anything to backup with [10:40] it's disconcerting to not be root [10:40] so sudo -i gives me admin privledges, right? [10:40] Busybyeski, are you trying to make the partition without formatting? [10:40] wols_: Nah, I misread your reply [10:41] yeah... so be careful [10:41] when I run fdisk /dev/sdb why does it say it's unable to open? [10:41] falieso1: that's a bad habit [10:41] Busybyeski: don't you have any backup tool on vista? [10:41] NekoKun: you ignore my question too [10:41] falieso1: sudo fdisk... [10:41] lazz0: wols_ suggested that i create unallocated space to work with in gparted [10:41] best to put an sudo before the command you want to run as root [10:41] Busybyeski: it would be a wise thing to do before playing with partitions... [10:41] wols_: tried that too [10:41] falieso1: dmesg | grep sdb [10:41] (or gsudo if you like gnome heaps) [10:41] ifireball: i would be backing up to the same partition i'm trying to play with [10:41] ah I see [10:41] I got it [10:41] falieso1: if you do need root priviledges for ex. on apt-get, just run sudo apt-get... [10:42] helo [10:42] I can turn off "tapping" in gsynaptics but how do I make that permanent? It gets turned back when I reboot [10:42] who knows ubuntu template that like vista / xp [10:42] Busybyeski: inedeed [10:43] ifireball: all i'll be doing on vista is defragging anyway [10:43] which shouldn't hurt too much i hope ;) [10:43] Busybyeski: just in case, y'know... partition resizes can be dangerous... [10:43] allnet: there aren't any "ubuntu templates" [10:43] owh [10:43] it should stay safe if i keep the size above what i'm using, shouldn't it? [10:43] I tried to resize my windows main partition (NTFS) but it just failed. Tried to defrag, to remove any files, and it still fails. Any idea?! [10:43] PS: what's this irc server in case i need to get on from vista? [10:43] I use "nm-applet" to manage my wireless networking but how do I get it to save my WPA PSK permanently? It's a pain to type in each time. [10:44] Busybyeski: theoretically, yyes, but better smart then sorry... [10:44] Busybyeski: irc.freenode.net [10:44] oh i'll wait around for a solution to NekoKun's problem in case i run in to it also [10:44] NekoKun: either you tell us the error messages or you solve your problems alone [10:45] when i do create a new partition for ubuntu, what kind should i make? ntfs? [10:45] or ext3 [10:45] Busybyeski: ext3 [10:45] ext3 [10:45] Busybyeski: ext3 [10:45] wols_: It didn't gave any error. Just said that got an error [10:45] NekoKun: I told you what we need. have fun. good bye [10:46] i'm going to go back to the manual partition selection in the installer to see exactly what i'm dealing with sortof [10:46] Busybyeski, hope you make a swap partition [10:46] wols_: maybe it really just said "error!" [10:46] wols_: Ok, I have that crappy interface, how do I get the error messages from there? [10:46] what's a swap partition? [10:46] Paavi2_0: doesn't help us to diganose it, does it? [10:46] won't i deal with that in the installer in ubuntu? [10:47] Busybyeski: indeed you will [10:47] wols_: you're right, but then the coders are s***heads :( [10:47] If you proceed with creating a new partition table on the device, then all current partitions will be removed. [10:47] that won't format anything, will it? [10:47] just remove partitions? i don't quite understand what that means [10:47] Busybyeski: it will. [10:47] Paavi2_0: have fun programming your own OS. please come back when you're finished. good day [10:47] How can I set up a keyboard layout switcher like the one in Windows? (sorry for being Windows-centric, I just like that feature of the Redmonder os :) ) [10:48] join #videolan [10:48] Busybyeski: can't you just DO what we told you? there is no other way unless you are fine with dataloss [10:48] Busybyeski: the partitions are *sorta* below the filesystems, removing then pretty much destroys everything [10:48] ifireball: what can i do in vista to prepare for the installer [10:48] wols_: sorry [10:48] Busybyeski: defrag!!! [10:48] defrag and unallocate 10 gb of space? [10:48] cruox, look around in language settings [10:49] there are options to add this [10:49] ok [10:49] Busybyeski: so please 1st go to vista, defrag and BACKUP, then come back to ubunto, and resize [10:49] i'll defrag and be back =O [10:49] cruox: on gome there's a panel "gadget" for that [10:49] k [10:50] !ops botattack [10:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about ops botattack - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:50] Hello [10:50] !ops | botattack [10:50] botattack: Help!

[10:53] i pm you pricechild because i needed to enter quite a few lines of txt [10:53] Anyway, I booted and now it isn't working :( [10:53] NekoKun: use gparted or fdisk . [10:54] i prefer fdisk myself.. [10:54] hi! [10:54] greenmanwitch: what is a ethernet to wireless adapter? and what chip does it use? [10:54] its with allmost every distro that is installable.. [10:55] ok [10:55] hi [10:55] wols_: just works on layer 1/2 dont think youd need a driver for that [10:55] where does firefox store the search strings i used in google? [10:55] wols_: basically, it is a little d-link box that you attatch into an ethernet port and it acts as a wireless card. You configure it as ethernet and it works [10:55] turns out my defrag is a weekly scheduled event =D [10:55] Is anyone else having a problem with Playing OpenArena . Mines crashes after about 5 minutes each time [10:55] your need a module for the ethernetcard though,.. [10:55] My problem is that i need to connect somehow an ubuntu laptop with root priviliges and a windows xp pc with user priv. only. I need to copy files from the winxp to the ubuntu. there is a workgroup specified (and a network) on winxp, but i cannot change settings, and all i have is an ethernet cable (e.g. no switch/router) [10:55] greenmanwitch: you don't configure it at all. what is your ethernet card? [10:55] usually its the power trippers that say pm's are rude [10:56] cole: it's the ops. you are free to look for help elsewhere if it bothers you [10:56] wols_: I will go find out. I don't understand wny it doesn't just work like the live cd did, though [10:56] cole: it doesn't beother us if you do that [10:56] where does firefox store the search strings i used in google? [10:56] greenmanwitch: lspci |grep -i net [10:56] Naxa: use ifconfig to set the ip of the card to a private ip range with no gw, is the cabn;le an xover? [10:56] yeah, I know [10:57] theLichKing: somewhere under ~/.mozilla you can delete them from the ffox UI tho [10:57] wols_: i want to delete specific search strings.. not the whole thing [10:57] Naxa: can you ping ubuntu from the windows box? [10:58] theLichKing: run grep -r under the directory I mentioned [10:59] windows defrag used to have a cute gui to go along with it =( [10:59] Defrag is a fix for a shite filesystem.

[11:01] I use "nm-applet" to manage my wireless networking but how do I get it to save my WPA PSK permanently? It's a pain to type in each time. [11:01] roundyz_ what is no gw? and xover? how will i now if its on or not? [11:01] Naxa: please answer me [11:01] wikipedia.org/ext2 [11:01] maybe.. [11:01] lesshaste_: use /etc/network/interfaces [11:01] gw= gateway and xover is a crossover cable [11:01] roundyz__: it's still greek to him [11:01] Naxa: please answer my question [11:01] wols_ i'm actually not set it up yet one minute 'couse i wanted to be aware [11:02] wols_: will answer in 5 minutes [11:02] ifireball: I did. It doesn't offer wireless because it doesn't know my wireless card is wireless since it plugs into the ethernet port [11:02] i hope now that i have 2 gigs of ram i can load all of alt.bin.hdtv without it slowing to a grind... [11:02] wols_: ok, it ir a RTL-8139 [11:02] wols_: I KNOW that works in Linux [11:02] a well suported card in linux [11:02] greenmanwitch: then it should work just fine. sudo ifconfig -a [11:03] ok [11:03] is that fails check to see if the modules is loaded.. [11:03] ..lsmod [11:03] i would grep it but i fgorgot the module name of hand..might be r8139... [11:03] wols_, instead of nm-applet? [11:04] lesshaste_: yes [11:04] greenmanwitch: what is your wireless AP, some kind of a router? is it supposed to hand out DHCP? [11:04] ifireball: it doesn't matter with the device he uses much [11:04] ifireball: yes, yes [11:04] wols_, that looks like I hard code which network I want to use [11:05] god if i defragged yesterday you would think this defrag would be quick [11:05] wols_: it matters if Ubuntu doesn't send out the hostname on the DHCP request... [11:05] wols_, how do I use it? [11:05] * roundyz__ is now lost... [11:05] ifireball: why would a hostname be necessary for the dhcp request? [11:06] I am trying to watch a video but it is too dark, ive tried upping my contrast and brightness on my monitor but it doesn't help... any ideas? btw it looks fine on windows [11:06] wols_: some DHCPs servers (notably AD) don't hand out IPs unless a hostname is specified [11:06] LM22: what engine are you using, mplayer, xine, gstreamer? [11:06] hello everybody [11:06] mplayer and ive also tried vlc [11:06] ifireball: then why would the install cd do it and the installed OS not? not much sense [11:07] mplayer has many contrast options you can play about with.. do man mplayer and see ;) [11:07] wols_: http://ifireball.wordpress.com/2007/12/15/dhcp-trouble-on-debian/ <- apparently, the most hit article in there ;) [11:07] sounds like a module issue to me... [11:07] do they have a gui to config the contrast options [11:07] LM22: yes [11:07] wols_: bugs ususally don't make sense, but I've seen netmanager mess up things more then once... [11:08] LM22: can't remember off hand, sorry. [11:08] ooh cool [11:08] ok [11:08] im retarded [11:08] lol [11:08] thanks [11:08] :D [11:08] LM22: on mplayer a right-click-menu [11:08] that fixed it [11:08] I thought network manager was meant to be improved in gutsy gibbon [11:09] it looks just the same and still missing 90% of the desired features :) [11:09] lesshaste: still, it was improved.... [11:09] I though netmanager had loads of bugs, your better of doing it all manually, then throwing it in a cript then running it in local... [11:09] any ways , i'm off to deliver some xmas cards.. [11:10] => goes outside [11:10] LM22, vlc has contrast options also [11:10] wols_: what exactly will defragmenting help with in the partition process? [11:10] roundyz__: plenty of other things you can do before resorting to that, there is /etc/network/interfaces for example... [11:10] it will make resizing possible in case the disk is fragmented [11:11] if a defragmentation was performed yesterday, could it possibly be fragmented enough to not resize? [11:11] wols_, couldnt he use paragon partition manager for example, it can resize partitions with no data loss [11:11] thanks everyone [11:11] ttly [11:11] hey, whenever i try to play some music, sound or log on (when the logon music plays) i get this ear piercing screeching noise out o my laptop [11:12] lazz0: do you want to tell him he has to buy software? [11:12] i was hoping to use default software haha [11:12] Question: When following kidcharles' famous How-To on installing Wine and WoW, he instructs the download of the 0.9.6 Wine source code from sourceforge. Of course, he wrote that How-to in January of 2006. Is it better for me to download and extract a more recent version of the source code? Or is 0.9.6 alright? [11:12] well services are expensive [11:12] gluonman: getting a deb should be fine [11:12] wols_, what do you mean? [11:12] lazz0: yes cause ubuntu costs you so much money [11:13] gluonman: a WINE deb [11:13] hi hi, sorry to bother but when I was installing it said it couldn't install some stuff, I think from internet, now I can't get to sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx [11:13] gluonman: i think you'd be better of installin the default ubuntu package of wine through synaptic [11:13] i would be willing to use either vista or ubuntu's partition managers [11:13] not me but mr african millionaire [11:13] Arilou: give us the error message(s) [11:13] wols_, you mean I don't need the source code after doing apt-get build-dep wine? [11:13] people are telling me ubuntu's will be better [11:13] gluonman: you should find a link with instructions how to add the wine repository to ubuntu on the wine website [11:13] gluonman: you don't need to apt-get build-dep wine [11:13] I can turn off "tapping" in gsynaptics but how do I make that permanent? It gets turned back when I reboot [11:14] Paavi2_0, the how-to strongly recommends not just installing wine from the repos to get WoW to work. [11:14] join #ubuntu.de [11:14] wols_, the How-To instructed me to. [11:14] gluonman: no reason to compile from source code at all [11:14] lesshaste, MaxTapTime 0 in xorg [11:14] join/#ubuntu.de [11:14] the howto is more than 2 years old! the world has turned since then [11:14] ifireball, I'm just trying to follow the how-to. [11:14] !de | lene [11:14] lene: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [11:14] E: Couldn't find package xorg-driver-fglrx [11:14] wols_: E: Couldn't find package xorg-driver-fglrx [11:14] gluonman: the win in the "regular" repos is old, but there is a "special" repo with newer wine version [11:14] gluonman: that was a year ago, this isn't a "you'll get the service-pack within 8 months"-world :) [11:14] khermans is that regarding a laptop touchpad tapping? [11:15] gluonman: well, like you said its old [11:15] !ati | Arilou [11:15] Arilou: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [11:15] Busybyeski, believe so [11:15] !ati [11:15] gluonman: alos I find that may HOWTOs are writen by newbes that make you do too much work... [11:15] khermans i feel like my touchpad is more sensitive to tapping than in windows, what would i make taptime to stop that? [11:15] wols_: I'm following that guide [11:15] ifireball, right. Okay. I'll ignore the how-to, then. What is the new repo with the newer version of wine? [11:15] Arilou: you lack some repositories [11:15] ifireball, how do I add it? [11:16] Arilou: to be exact: you miss restricted [11:16] wols_: is there any way I can get them? [11:16] Busybyeski, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Synaptics_Touchpad [11:16] gluonman: just install wine [11:16] thanks [11:16] gluonman: like I said, there should be instructions on the wine website [11:16] wols_: There are some complications so i think 20 minutes after can i answer only [11:16] !restricted | Arilou [11:16] Arilou: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [11:16] wols_: it says I got the latest restricted [11:16] ifireball, okay. [11:16] wols_, I had already run the command apt-get build-dep wine. How do I reverse that? Or will installing wine replace that? [11:17] Arilou: then paste the FULL output and apt-cache policy xorg-driver-fglrx too [11:17] gluonman: those things have nothing to do with the wine binaries [11:17] gluonman: it just installed some packages you don;t need, no harm in that [11:18] wols_, it used more than 300mb of space. If I don't need those packages, I just want to reverse the installation of them. [11:18] gluonman: apt-get autoremove try that [11:18] gluonman: if you want the cutting edge things then have a look at http://www.winehq.org/site/download [11:18] wols_, okay. [11:18] othrewise, check your dpkg.log to see what it installed and remove it again [11:18] urgent problem: i made an update that required me to reboot the system and now i get kernel panic [11:18] Paavi2_0, thanks. [11:18] gluonman: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb [11:18] i think the last line said something about VFS [11:18] linduxed2: what error exactly? [11:18] linduxed2: full output please [11:18] ifireball, thanks. [11:19] wols_ [11:19] linduxed2: also pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l and the contents of your /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:19] i cant remember right off the bat but ill reboot and see [11:19] wols_, apt-get autoremove did nothing. [11:19] Hello, I want to build a custom kernel with SLAB (to use fglrx and have suspend working on my laptop). Will using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile produce a kernel with the snd-hda-intel module and all the other modules under /lib/modules/,,/ubuntu? [11:19] wols_ i cant get into the systemm [11:19] linduxed2: first the fdisk output and your menu.lst [11:20] linduxed2: where are you right now, what OS? [11:20] windows xp [11:20] wols_: It doesn't let me install Ubuntu Restricted Extras, it says "The List of applications is not available" [11:20] khermans, just saw your comment.. interesting so synaptics is completely irrelevant? [11:20] then install expore2fs and you can get the menu.lst [11:20] Arilou: use synaptic and anebaled restricted [11:20] lesshaste, not necessarily -- but you can utilize that command though [11:20] or synclient [11:21] or maxtaptime in xorg [11:21] wols_: livedisk? [11:21] linduxed2: that's a possibility too [11:21] anyone have any really hard questions? [11:21] just interested! [11:21] wols_: then what? [11:21] I told you what then [11:21] oh sorry [11:21] khermans, yes.. how do you get network manager to save your wpa psk key [11:21] khermans, so you don't have to type it in each time [11:21] lesshaste, works for me [11:22] khermans, eh? What does [11:22] lesshaste, keyring [11:22] !cs [11:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about cs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:22] khermans, can you explain further? [11:22] lesshaste, first time you enter any passwords for services, keyring manager will ask you to save them [11:22] Anyone here ever hosted a counter strike server on linux? [cs1.6] [11:22] !anyone | Stevethepirate [11:22] Stevethepirate: 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? [11:22] Stevethepirate, yes! [11:23] khermans, not with me it doesn't .. how do you set that up? [11:23] which file system would you recommend for a large filesystem with large files on it (up to 1 TB)? [11:23] khermans: really? [11:23] lesshaste, gnome-keyring-manager [11:23] haary: xfs. but have a UPS [11:23] khermans, there are many threads online where people have the same problem as me so I am very interested in your solution [11:24] lesshaste, are you familiar with keyring? [11:24] khermans, not really [11:24] installing it now [11:24] haary: I just built a 2TB server I used xfs much better than ext3 [11:24] do I need to do anything else apart from install it? [11:24] lesshaste, if you use gnome, its already installed [11:25] 2TB formatted :) [11:25] haary, or reiser4 :-p [11:25] khermans, I am on xubuntu [11:25] 2TB formatted raid 5 :) [11:25] lesshaste, oh then you dont have it [11:25] khermans, I do now .. just installed it :) [11:25] hehe but you may need to start it manually [11:25] khermans: please don't give jokes to people asking serious questions === adi_ is now known as Zweisteine [11:25] wols_, what do you mean sir? [11:26] you know what I mean, so stop it [11:26] wols_, no i seriously dont [11:26] *plonk* [11:26] merry christmas [11:26] thyrax: wols_: thanks, I myself thought of xfs. An no, I will not consider reiser4:) [11:27] wols_, you mean reiser4? [11:27] glitch-, happy Kwanzaa :) [11:29] lesshaste_ : Kwanzaa ? [11:29] glitch-, :) check the wikipedia [11:29] glitch-: do you have a ubuntu related question? [11:30] Hello === matrix is now known as Matrix [11:30] * Matrix wonders why vista dont want to boot a ubuntu cd :S [11:31] wols_: got a minute in -offtopic [11:31] wols_ is ubuntu 8 out? [11:31] Matrix: vista can't boot a cd [11:31] Matrix: vista is an operating system, so if it's running it's already booted [11:31] how i dual boot ubuntu? [11:31] ? [11:31] i heard its been done [11:31] wols_, was the keyring advice wrong? [11:31] * ifireball wonders why ppl wonder about vista [11:31] Matrix: boot from the ubuntu cd and install vista [11:31] grub [11:31] oops [11:31] lesshaste_: the reiser4 thing was [11:31] Matrix: boot from the ubuntu cd and install ubuntu [11:31] wols_, oh.. i missed that [11:32] wols_, do I need to start the gnome-keyring-manager somewhere? [11:32] damn Lol (I only have a recovery cd (I Diden want to buy vista when i boet this pc) [11:32] Matrix: install windows, then install ubuntu and it's done [11:32] lesshaste_: probably, dunno where [11:32] I have installed windows [11:32] its on my compute [11:32] hi [11:33] i'm on 7.10 (apache2) [11:33] so i have to run the ubuntu setup IN Windows [11:33] lesshaste, you can also store the key in /etc/network/interfaces if you like [11:33] Matrix: definitely no [11:33] i'm able to connect from internet on a web page on my ubuntu, pointing the browser to http://"ip-number"/apache2-default/path/to/index.html [11:33] Matrix, wubi [11:33] wubi? [11:33] Matrix, yes [11:33] arhh hehe [11:33] how can i set an alias in the apache configuration file ? [11:34] When I try to put my wireless into monitor mode my system generates this problem: Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) : [11:34] SET failed on device eth1 ; Invalid argument. [11:34] Please help me with this [11:34] epifanio: what do you mean? [11:34] Matrix, http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wubi/Wubi-7.04.04.exe [11:34] i need to use something like : www.malink.something.com .. instead of ip-number :-/ [11:34] epifanio: redirects? [11:34] epifanio: virtual hosts? [11:34] What is wubi? [11:34] yes, virtualhost [11:34] nikglass, you prolly use ndiswrapper [11:34] arh [11:34] this is not possible [11:35] epifanio: ae2nsite [11:35] Wait have to logon with windows then lol [11:35] tring to follow apache docs ... without success [11:35] Matrix: wubi is not supported - don't use it [11:35] khermans, what do I need to do? [11:35] nikglass, are you using ndiswrapper? [11:35] epifanio: afaik, that's not configured in Apache, you need to have the proper domain name pointing to your server [11:35] for some reason "keyboard repeat" is turned off (i mean when you hold down a given key it normally would repeat after a short pause, but it stopped doing that) i've no idea what happened, but if anyone knows how to fix it i'd be very grateful, it's driving me nuts [11:35] ikonia, he said he had no other way [11:36] Ademan, check BIOS [11:36] khermans: thats nonsense [11:36] epifanio: do you want the Apache to server more then one site? [11:36] dont know I dont think so... I'm new to this :) [11:36] ikonia, thats what he said [11:36] epifanio: do you want the Apache to serve more then one site? [11:36] wols_: ok im ubuntu livecd now [11:36] hre i am with windows Lol [11:36] linduxe1: I asked you to pastebin a few things [11:36] khermans: well, it happened in the middle of a session, not between a reboot, still could be bios? [11:36] no just one index.html (only one sites) [11:36] Quick, and probably dumb question, is Samba installed by default on Ubuntu Server 6.06? [11:36] ---> so i have to run the ubuntu setup IN Windows [11:37] adante, prolly not [11:37] yes? [11:37] Ademan: considering ubuntu doesn't care about BIOS to access hardware: it never could be BIOS [11:37] DIA_XO_Matrix, why cant you use ubuntu live cd to install? [11:37] epifanio: does the server have a real IP (visible from the internet) ? [11:37] J-E-L-L-0: i don't really know, but that sure is old ubuntu [11:37] yes [11:37] Becaus it gave me an error (Now ofc i cant rember it lol) [11:38] wols_: ah, well then is there a setting in GNOME or something? [11:38] wols_: http://pastebin.ca/826715 [11:38] i'm able to coonect from internet [11:38] no clue, sorry [11:38] wasn't sure i should use the newer server on older (p3 server) hardware. all i want is a file server.... [11:38] J-E-L-L-0: afaik, no [11:38] jenda: a P3 box is great ! [11:38] linduxe1: menu.lst too [11:38] i've got 2 gb of ram... is it enough to do a 0.5 gb swat? [11:38] ikonia: not me ;) [11:38] J-E-L-L-0: i don't think a newer version is going to be significantly more hardware intensive than an older version, i highly reccomend using a newer version [11:38] wols_: i switched to lilo from grub so youll get that [11:39] J-E-L-L-0, file serving is not CPU intensive [11:39] jenda: ? [11:39] ok thanks ifireball, i'll see about installing it myself then [11:39] ooh [11:39] oops [11:39] epifanio: do you own that domain name that you want pointing to your server? [11:39] jenda: sorry [11:39] why every time i try to do sudo apt-get .... does the package have no installationg candidate [11:39] i was thinking more along the lines of hardware recognition and compatibility [11:39] J-E-L-L-0: but if it's not installed by default it's very easy to install on your own [11:39] Fracture: which package? [11:39] J-E-L-L-0: a P3 box will be fine [11:39] J-E-L-L-0: simple mater of apt-getting it... [11:39] well [11:39] this server is way overkill then.. 1Ghz Xeon P3's x 2... [11:39] realplayer [11:39] Fracture, it might not e in repos [11:40] same with install opera [11:40] !info realplayer [11:40] ok will do ifireball [11:40] Package realplayer does not exist in gutsy [11:40] ok [11:40] wat bout opera?

[11:41] where is the guy that wanted hard questions? [11:41] Fracture: normally there'd be a sound clip that plays when you log in, so it seems every time a sound should play you get that screeching [11:42] thanks for teh help guys : ) [11:42] wols_, how do i get rid of the "free the fish" [11:42] no i can hear the sound clip under it [11:42] i have vista dual booted on here [11:42] and [11:42] that sound works fine [11:43] Fracture: huh, unfortunately i don't know jack squat, but if you found out your sound chipset other people here might be able to help you === [tUd]Pensacola is now known as Pensacola [11:43] would be in lspci wouldnt it [11:43] wols_: i think i know what the problem is [11:43] wols_: my lilo.conf is gone [11:44] ifireball: yes i've it (mybe it isn't already active, i request it yestarday, i need to see if the dns are ready) [11:44] linduxe1: that's not the problem [11:44] Audio device : intel corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller [11:44] epifanio: and you asked for it to point to your server's IP ? [11:44] hijay, I'm trying to get my WLAN working, but there is no WLAN device in ifconfig. I have a Atheros AR5413 802.11abg WLAN card [11:44] wols_: but its still gone... [11:44] yes that is a probelm but not the one causing your kernel panic [11:45] ok [11:45] Fracture: do you actualy use a high def (like 5.1) speaker setup? [11:45] ive chrooted to the disk [11:45] err [11:45] idno [11:45] wols_: think i can dmesg to get the last output_ [11:45] im pretty new to linux [11:45] Fracture: how many speakers are hooked up to your computer? 2? 5?

[11:45] Fracture: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) is mine (heh) it works fine, i guess your sound chipset is a bit too new, are you on gutsy or what? [11:45] its a laptop [11:45] so 2 at the front [11:46] wols_: honestly im not very familiar with the command, its just that a lot of ppl tend to ask for it... [11:46] how do i reverse the "free the fish" action in Gnome/ [11:46] ? [11:46] i would say theres a setting in the bios to change the sound from high def to regular ac97... but im not sure that would affect ubuntu [11:47] linduxe1: you recreate a proper lilo.conf and run /sbin/lilo again [11:47] wols_: roger [11:47] lazz0 the only backup that vista will do for me are documents/media, should i backup system files etc.? [11:49] So no one knows how to enable an Atheros AR5413 802.11abg NIC [11:50] i also get no sound if i play music through amarok or xmms [11:50] minus, ifconfig up ?

I was hoping that I might be able to install a plugin or something to make it work. [12:09] wols_: i've got a /dev/scd0 and a /dev/sda [12:09] lesshaste, yes [12:09] lesshaste_, asked who? [12:09] is the cd0 the cd drive? [12:09] gluonman, the kopete people [12:09] lesshaste_, no. [12:09] Busybyeski: /dev/sda is your disk, /dev/scd0 is a cdrom [12:10] wols_, Yeah, I noticed when I did "make install" cause there where already a bunch of modules in /lib/modules/ [12:10] so i'm going to unallocate some space from /sda [12:10] gluonman: if you want MSN, aMSN is better than one-for-all messengers [12:10] ive checked through all that site [12:10] but still nothing [12:10] gluonman: cam works great in aMSN [12:10] lesshaste_, what is skype anyway? Is it an IM client? [12:10] wolfeySI, I already have aMSN. I'll give it a try there. [12:10] skype for linux doesnt yet have video [12:10] but sounds works :) [12:10] hello [12:10] wolfeySI, okay.

I'll look into it. === iwaterball is now known as ifireball [12:14] lesshaste_, well, I've heard the name, I've just never used it or seen someone use it. [12:14] cookie, no chance..the pidgin people won't support voice/video [12:14] Pici: ok thnx, bu now i got uuid 0000-0000 instead, so i guess same problem, or doesn't my flash card have a UUID? [12:14] gluonman, can I ask which country you are in? [12:14] Or which yahoo messenger is best for linux? to support voice/video [12:15] lesshaste_, I'm in Polynesia. [12:15] except gyachy...which is a piece of crap? [12:15] gluonman, oh :) and wow! [12:15] anyone can help me get some info into /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ or is that beyond the scope of the official ubuntu support channel ? [12:15] cookie depends on what you want [12:15] I want a yahoo messenger client that supports voice/webcam [12:16] aladdinsane: I would think that it would get a uuid, but I havent actually checked... and no flash drives for me to test here. [12:16] who here knows anything about ati problems, related to 7-11 [12:16] lesshaste_, my father's from kenya and my mother is French/Irish. [12:16] cookie, you are really going to have trouble... can you switch to another protocol? [12:16] gluonman, cool :) [12:16] not really [12:16] all my friends use yahoo [12:16] cookie, then you may be SOL as they say in the states :) [12:16] I can not make them switch [12:16] SOL [12:16] wtf is SOL [12:16] Pici, my other flash drive does have one so i dont know either.. [12:16] try asking in #kopete and #pidgin [12:17] thanks [12:17] cookie, S out of luck [12:17] anyone ? [12:17] SOL is a bit outside of the family friendly language that we ask that users abide by in this channel. [12:17] anybody know why my flash drive gets/has UUID 0000-0000? and if this is normal.. [12:17] cookie, ideally you get them all to move to something SIP compatible [12:17] lesshaste_ pidgin supports no audio/vidoe right now. but it`s planed, or got it dropped? [12:18] sKy\, it did for a bit then got mostly dropped [12:18] sKy\, they basically aren't interested [12:18] this is what I get when I disable desktop effects: http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k110/macnkirby/crapola.png if anybody knows what that is please assist [12:18] Running Gutsy LiveCD. What's best way to take strain off RAM when installing new packages by using mounted partition on local HD? [12:18] sKy\, skype does a good job so it's hard to get excited by an alternative I think [12:18] *enable [12:18] Hey guys, I want to transfer files between my ubuntu machine and my windowsxp machine. They are both on the same roter and there is a lot of data: I'd like to write to a share on the windows machine -- how do I do this? [12:18] well, there is no messenger like skype for voice chats, working out of the box [12:18] there is sip, but sip is complicated, buggy... [12:19] no real floss alternative to skype [12:19] neus samba [12:19] what is the password I need to enter for "System / Administration / ..." (in gnome)? I set the root password but this does not work there [12:19] apfel_: You need to use your users password. [12:19] !sudo | apfel_ [12:19] apfel_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [12:19] sKy\, that's right.. it's sad really [12:19] apfel_ in ubuntu there is no root afaik. you must use sudo [12:19] for samba windows sharing there are a few good how tos online [12:20] sKy\, you can be root if you really want to be..sudo bash :) [12:20] neus: Mount the share using smbfs [12:20] sKy\: There is root, just the password is locked. [12:20] hi@all. i read kubuntu 8.04 will not be LTS release. same for ubuntu as well? [12:20] Pici: aah, stupid me. thank you<1 [12:20] how do you run something in the background that you run with sudo? [12:20] sudo foo & [12:20] doesn't work [12:20] apfel_ there are some instructions on google to enable root anyway, but you won`t need it. just use sudo [12:20] rhorstkoetter: No. Kubuntu will not be LTS only because it is going to include KDE4. [12:20] sudo "foo &" ? [12:21] lesshaste_: since when? [12:21] lesshaste_: That should work. [12:21] wolfeySI, ? [12:21] Pici, which one? [12:21] rhorstkoetter: er. and Ubuntu 8.04 will be LTS, sorry if that wasn't clear. [12:21] skype for linux doesnt have video, i checked their page and forums and blogs zillion times [12:21] wolfeySI, sudo foo & puts sudo into the background so you can't enter your password [12:21] Pici: also read this, but does it make sense to release ubuntu 8.04 as LTS and kubuntu not? *confused* [12:21] wolfeySI, it does :) [12:21] sKy\: thanks but I already enabled it and I like stuff like "su"ing without a password (wheel). I just didn't know the other password, which is just the one of my user [12:21] wolfeySI: iirc, the skype beta has video. [12:21] wolfeySI, I am running it [12:21] ok [12:21] wolfeySI, check version 2 beta [12:22] apfel_: You don't know your user's password??? [12:22] ahh so that's new [12:22] yep :) [12:22] it's pretty cool and as always almost works perfectly :) [12:22] wolfeySI: Tried wengo? [12:22] rhorstkoetter: We had a long discussion over this in #ubuntu+1 (which is probably where we should be discussing this) yesterday.. [12:22] Pici: nah, I just didn't know I had to use it when clicking system / administration / ... :) [12:22] i last checked some half year ago, there was no date set for that [12:22] although users complained about video for two damn years [12:22] lol wengo :| [12:23] Pici: ok [12:23] I just tried to play a music file but it said it could not play it because my sound card is busy and might be in use by another program. [12:23] What does that mean? [12:23] exit [12:23] hi there, sorry to bother again, I do "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" and I get "E: Broken packages" [12:23] sky\: Why you laugh? [12:24] gluonman: it means another program has it already open [12:24] gluonman: dsp or alsa? [12:24] wols_, but I don't see any program that would tie up the sound card so much that it would prevent sound from coming from my laptop. [12:24] how do i look at my DNS files? [12:24] wols_, all I have open is xchat, an installer, and a file folder. [12:25] gluonman: gnome already opens the sound device via esd [12:25] NeT_DeMoN_: what do you mean by that exactly? [12:25] Running Gutsy LiveCD. What's best way to take strain off RAM when installing new packages by using mounted partition on local HD? [12:25] g00se i couldn`t recommend wengo. it`s very bad... (this unless) acitivation doesn`t come, server is often not working, online status is messed up, connections break, to much bugs... [12:25] so, anybody that can help me with a compiz problem with a radeon x1600 and latest ati drivers? I ALMOST have it working [12:25] ifireball: like my host files [12:25] wols_, The only thing I can think of is that I ran WoW briefly and then shut it off. maybe that did something to the sound card. [12:25] sky\: Thanks - i haven't tried it yet ;-) [12:25] MrKirby1984: you need xserver-xgl [12:25] wols_, probably something I could easily fix with a reboot. [12:25] NeT_DeMoN_: just type "cat /etc/hosts" from the console [12:25] yeah, but that sux [12:26] already did that [12:26] wols_, but I was just hoping I could fix it without a reboot. [12:26] gluonman, have you tried openwengo? [12:26] trying to get aiglx to work [12:26] g00se: I've installed samba now: how do I mount a windows share? [12:26] ifireball: ok, thanks [12:26] lesshaste_, what the hell is that? [12:26] MrKirby1984: where did you get your fglrx? [12:26] it enables desktop effects, but screen gets all messed up [12:26] wondering if anybody knows a fix [12:26] I'm getting messages like the ncurses-base deb file is corrupt on teh cd and the setup couldnt download it.. should i worry about these? [12:26] gluonman, :) google is your friend [12:26] neus: try something like sudo mount -t smbfs windowsbox:/share /winbox [12:26] gluonman, which google do you get where you are?

[12:28] gluonman, try actual google :) [12:28] J-E-L-L-0: depends on the packages, probably not [12:28] lesshaste_, way ahead of you. [12:28] J-E-L-L-0: well, ncurses is rather important...

The only thing really keeping into it is the fact that I have soooo many friends there. [12:34] hi [12:34] thats cool [12:34] have you tried guild wars? [12:35] dave81, my brother plays that, but I haven't personally tried it. [12:35] its quite good [12:35] dave81, is that one free? [12:35] gluonman: no. and it's OT here [12:35] wols_, Right. sorry.

I am looking for the syntax and file to edit to make a cron job that will run about every 5-10 minutes.

I read rt61pci is broken and downloaded and compiled rt61 from ralinktech. I do a modprobe --remove rt61pci and then modprobe rt61 and get error unknowen symbol pci_module_init ... any ideas? [12:37] Paavi2_0, pawan, Kopete is better than Pidgin. [12:37] 0,15,30,45 * * * * /etc/init.d/networking restart .. this correct for every 15 minutes? [12:38] NineTeen67Comet: that's not such a good idea [12:38] wols_:thanks I¡ll try =) [12:38] dave81, you almost sound like an ad bot :Þ [12:38] Arilou: I want to see the output of that [12:38] gluonman: might be...haven't used it [12:38] NineTeen67Comet: correct syntax though, also, you probably need that in the root crontab [12:38] ifireball: I've been hacking at that box for about 2 months with no results. The drop isn't predictable and there are no errors to read through .. running a cron is about my last resort. [12:38] lol sory [12:38] Paavi2_0, it's more capable than Pidgin. [12:38] ifireball: Agreed. At most, just bring the one interface back up [12:39] NineTeen67Comet: what driver do you use? and what chip is it? [12:39] NineTeen67Comet: like g00se said, use ifdow/up to mess with just the relevant interface [12:39] gluonman: pidgin is the ubuntu default, so the newbies should stick to it [12:39] shane2peru: try VGA= at boot.. (google: vga modes) ... it should be added as parameter to kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst or something [12:39] gaim sucks [12:39] amsn! [12:39] wolfeySI, yeah I was looking in my menu.lst and didn't see anything to change. [12:40] I have never had this problem with Ubuntu before [12:40] Paavi2_0, sure, but Kopete isn't difficult for newbies. The only difference is that it's better and you have to install it.

[12:55] why on earth is only a broken version of azureus in the standard packages for gusty gibbon and the (quite old) fixed version in backports?? [12:55] I have problem with Ubuntu. Could someone help me? [12:55] gutsy [12:55] windego40: you need to find out what iphone-mount does [12:56] !ask | Belisarivs [12:56] Belisarivs: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [12:56] Belisarivs: ask away [12:56] azureus 2.5.0.4 came out a long time ago [12:56] OK [12:56] lesshaste_: When? [12:57] hhhmmm well im following the instructions from "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone" if that helps :| [12:57] After logging in, GNOME takes ages to start when not connected to the internet. [12:57] im sorta new to all this [12:57] man iphone-mount (?) | windego40 [12:58] Also gnome apps and mc rake too much time to start. [12:58] Pici, certainly before March 2007 [12:58] I have Core Duo notebook with 2GB RAM. [12:58] What if I did strace of mc and upload it somewhere? [12:59] lesshaste_: Likely the amount of changes needed to get a newer version to work properly were too big of a task. [12:59] Pici, any idea what is going on? The version that comes with gutsy is basically broken [12:59] just says it handles the mounting basically [12:59] Any idea? [12:59] Belisarivs: its a reverse resolution problem, upload your /etc/hosts file to pastebin [12:59] Pici, hmm.. that's odd [12:59] lesshaste_: But you said yourself that the one in backports is fixed. [12:59] Pici, yes === dotnet is now known as dalnet [13:00] Hello to all ! [13:00] Pici, it was actually released in 2006 it seems! [13:00] Belisarivs: what does running "hostname" on the terminal give you? [13:00] some one can write my nick [13:00] windego40: can't you mount it somewhere that *is* empty? [13:00] lesshaste_: Azureus's sourceforge page says it was released on 01/25/2007 [13:00] Hello all ! [13:00] name of my book "clibanarius" [13:01] Pici, ok... that's still 11 months ago! :) [13:01] is there a command to see what is already mounted? [13:02] windego40: mount [13:02] Belisarivs: ok, now what does "grep `hostname` /etc/hosts" give you [13:02] I have some proble after distro upgrade to 7.10 ... I have two keyboard layouts installed , in console whene i press ctrl+something it writes with non english language... [13:02] so i can't do ctrl+x and so on... [13:02] just updated kernel to 2.6.22-14-generic and now my system (7.10 amd64) refuses to boot cleanly and i get repeated error messages like: "[ 98.234539] device-mapper: table: 254: 7: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed" i was able to boot cleanly and start gnome, when i selected the previous kernel on grub...what should i do? [13:03] I'm planning to upload /etc/hosts at pastebin [13:03] pastebin.com? [13:03] any one have knows what cant be aproblem ? [13:03] Hi... my USB keyboard doesnt always work (no response from it at login screen, cant get any further without it)... any ideas? [13:03] Belisarivs: any pastebin os fine.

I know that there was someone working on the Azeurus problems, but I dont know what the problems actually were. [13:04] Pici, ok... it's all very odd as version 3 is the current one in any cased [13:04] case [13:04] which doesn't seem to have an ubuntu package at all [13:05] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49149/ [13:05] I switched to my notebook [13:05] windego40: Where are you at now [13:05] does any repo have azureus version 3? [13:06] lesshaste_: Not official repo, I can't speak for 3rd party ones. [13:06] ok, I changed the line in my menu.lst and it didn't help [13:06] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [13:06] ok..maybe someone here knows [13:06] /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) [13:06] proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [13:06] varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755) [13:06] varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777) [13:06] udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) [13:06] devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) [13:06] devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) [13:06] lrm on /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw) [13:06] securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) [13:06] I added vga=ask, vga=791, vga=normal, vga=792 [13:06] binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [13:06] !pastebin | windego40 [13:06] windego40: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

Is that all? [13:08] Belisarivs_: I think so, try it [13:08] does any 3rd party repo have the latest azureus? [13:09] OK. Thank you. I'll give it a try and teport back in several minutes. [13:09] Belisarivs_: (its a complex problem with a simple solution...) [13:09] ok, back to the splash screen on bootup is not at the right size and my monitor complains [13:09] anyone have any ideas? [13:09] hmm..no one here uses azureus?

[13:10] ifireball, yes, everything else works fine, this is a fresh install of Gutsy [13:10] shane2peru: Did those changes have any effect? Are you sure you were making them to the right grub line? [13:11] windego40: According to those docs you should be mounting with sshfs [13:11] Pici, no, I tried a bunch of different settings, even used vga=ask and didin't get anywhere. [13:11] Hi.. on 7.10 I have to keep rebooting to get my USB keyboard to work... didnt happen on 7.04... any ideas? [13:12] Pici, I had Gutsy installed before, and didn't have a problem, then I re-installed, it doesn't work. ?? [13:12] g00se: i just tried it using sshfs but still says mount point isnt empty [13:12] shane2peru: well, one thing you can do is disable the splash screen altogether, boot with the "nosplash" parameter [13:12] shane2peru: What video card? [13:13] Thank you kindly. It works. Perfact. [13:13] windego40: Why not empty it then? [13:13] Perfect. [13:13] ifireball, yes, I could, but it has worked on everything I have ever run it since Breezy days. :) [13:13] Belisarivs: glad to help [13:13] Pici, i910 Intel [13:13] shane2peru: And have you done all your updates? [13:13] May I shoot in one morequestion? [13:13] Pici, yep that was my first step. [13:13] * danja wonders what a polite pause is before asking again [13:13] Belisarivs: shoot [13:14] g00se: i dont know what point im supposed to empty [13:14] whats a good value for glxgears?
