[00:00] Changelog "Fixed spelling mistakes in source..." :) [00:00] Thank you. :) [00:01] Hi gents. Got a n00bish question for you. I've got a computer here with two identical hard disks, except one is blank and one is full of precious, precious data. I want to install Ubuntu on the blank disk. When I get into the partition editor stage of install, it lists hda and hdb as my choices of disk. How can I tell which of hda and hdb is mapped to the default "disk", and which is mapped to "disk-1"? [00:01] lol,I messed up bad, now the installed programs still are visible in applications -> wine, but not the wine things!! (brose C:\ and wineffg) [00:01] arash: OHH === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [00:02] arash: Are you talking about menu entries? [00:02] arash: I had some trouble removing those at first, too [00:02] hyperb0lix: yea, that too [00:02] wine is kinda complicated :s [00:02] Thor: Thanks. I will take alook at it [00:02] arash: .config and .local [00:02] arash: HOld on A SEC [00:02] Hydrargyrum: How about you disconnect the non-blank drive, then hook it back up after your install? [00:03] Hydrargyrum, you could mount each one and see what one has data [00:03] arash: ./.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Sierra/Homeworld [00:03] or use 'sudo fdisk -l' and see what disk has partitions on it [00:03] That's one entry... [00:03] does anyone know if there is a way to check temperatures for ati card and check fan speed, like atitools for windows [00:03] hiii!! [00:03] arash: So you could do rm -rf ~/.local/share/applications/wine [00:04] How come no one here? [00:04] hyperb0lix: :D [00:04] arash: And rm -rf ~/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine-* [00:04] does anyone know if there is a way to check temperatures for ati card and check fan speed, like atitools for windows [00:04] arash: Whoops, no need for the r on second one [00:04] arash: Bad habit :X [00:05] hyperb0lix: Dont you worry, it's already fixed with the first command [00:05] Dr_willis: looking in the Computer browser, it lists both volumes. I mount the second one, which gets assigned the name "disk-1" - that contains all the data. So far, so good. But looking through the properties of the mounted volume, it doesn't seem to say whether it's hda or hdb. Should I use a command line mount so that I can specify whether I'm interested in hda or hdb? [00:05] Zikiti, thers 1086 people here. [00:05] Hydrargyrum, use 'sudo fdisk -l' see what disk is hda and what one is hdb [00:05] arash: That _should_ take care of everything, since I had problems getting rid of Wine, too [00:05] Hydrargyrum, command line is our friend. :) [00:05] Dr_willis: thanks, will check it out [00:05] Command line is indeed! [00:05] hyperb0lix: well, I was msot intrested in reinstall [00:06] anyone know where I get shell scripting help? [00:06] arash: Hmm, you should be able to install Wine after that and it'll be a clean install [00:06] GigaClon: There's a good tut online, hold on [00:07] well i know the basics [00:07] !abs [00:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about abs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:07] hyperb0lix: actually, I had it isntalled when I typed 'rm -rf ~/.local/share/applications/wine' , fixed it well! [00:07] GigaClon: http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [00:07] Hello! I appear to be having a slight problem: GRUB can't find my kerenl. If nobody her can help me, I'll just patiently freak out here in the background until someone does. Thaks! [00:07] the "abs" guide is in the repos also. GigaClon [00:07] !find abs [00:07] Found: abuse-frabs, libclass-dbi-abstractsearch-perl, libclass-dbi-plugin-abstractcount-perl, libdbix-abstract-perl, libemail-abstract-perl (and 3 others) [00:07] Merry Christmas to all those serving in Iraq! My family is praying for your safe return! [00:07] What about us in Cuba? [00:07] kernel* here* thanks* [00:08] !offtopic [00:08] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:08] u too [00:08] yeah i want to strip out newline from a file so they are all on the same line [00:08] :o) === di[a]fic is now known as diafic [00:08] wazupwhere: This isn't a general chat channel [00:08] GigaClon, that should be a rather simple, perl, or bash, or sed, script. [00:08] awk even. :) [00:08] !libdvdcss [00:08] merry xmas to you all!!! [00:08] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [00:09] Come on that was like a one liner live a little [00:09] yea MERRY X MAS [00:09] Is SystemRescueCD an adequate solution? [00:09] Happy holidays! [00:09] :) [00:09] Luigi, i always keep a copy of that cd in my PC toolbox. :) [00:09] lol me too [00:09] Please, people, stop chattering about holidays... [00:09] Hmm. fdisk -l tells me basically that I have two identical hard disks, both formatted as W95 FAT32. Argh. I think I might go with fishface's suggestion and disconnect the disk full of data [00:09] Luigi: Happy holidays! [00:10] lol [00:10] Would that make it harder to set up a dual boot? [00:10] no school! [00:10] Happy 25 December :) [00:10] w00t [00:10] woot WOOT! [00:10] Happy 24th! [00:10] OW santa clse [00:10] Happy n time! [00:10] Is n an integer? [00:11] How do I see if ubuntu sees my computers ir? [00:11] Hydrargyrum, under windows. You could just delete the partitions on the empty one.. making it all unallocated.. [00:11] !offtopic [00:11] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:11] kool! [00:11] Would you recommend ClanLib? [00:11] hyperb0lix: n is a null vlaue, one dimensional non-integer imaginary number, sometimes called time! [00:11] hello [00:11] *value [00:11] Hydrargyrum, or mount both of them and check the 'mount' command to see what one is mounted as what device [00:11] askand... ifconfig -a [00:11] hullo! [00:11] lol [00:11] lol [00:11] Dr_willis: thanks, I am currently RTF man mount :) [00:12] can i save the state of a partition? [00:12] also check cat /proc/networks [00:12] i'd like to backup a windows partition [00:12] am i the only fresh french around here? [00:12] (with linux of course) [00:12] wazupwhere: thanks..now I just need to get it working [00:12] :o) [00:12] !find ntfstools [00:12] GHOST, probably some stale ones as well [00:12] :D [00:12] Package/file ntfstools does not exist in gutsy [00:12] hey! [00:13] :)O [00:13] someone can help me with mondorestore? [00:13] lol [00:13] for what reason isn't my CD recently put in not automounteed, another CD just put in worked fine [00:13] Hmm.. I know thers some sort of ntfs partitioning/backup tools out there... [00:13] ntfsprogs , Dr_willis [00:13] Dr_willis: Ah, there we go! hda = "disk", hdb = "disk-1". Thanks for the help. [00:14] Hydrargyrum, :) of course you do know.. that if your data is that UBER critical.. you should have backups? [00:14] :P [00:15] heh, actually, Dr_willis - good point, what is the most carefree, simple 'backup my entire linux system snapshot' application out there? [00:15] jgoo, i cheat and use a redundant stack of exteranal usb hard drives... [00:15] Dr_willis: How many? [00:15] let's say I want to export all partitions on a physical disk to a single easily recoverable image onto another disk... [00:15] lets see.. right now on my desk is 3 usb hd's ranging from 500 to 40gb in size. :) [00:15] XD [00:16] ntfsclone... thank you :-) [00:16] Dr_willis: that requires maintaining a RAID though... and you backup / real time mirror any mistakes [00:16] I'd like a snapshot, I can go back to :-) [00:16] wow thre some many people in offtopic that xchzt crash :s [00:16] jgoo, I dont have the raided.. i just cp over the imporntant data.. [00:16] a system restore point as it were [00:16] no real data...just system (apps, install, setup, tweaks etc) [00:16] btw... how do i solve the usplash wrong resolution bug? [00:16] I dont mess with system backups Thats easy to reinstall for me.. its the large amounts of data that i have - thats so much space. [00:16] my data lives in the cloud anyway [00:16] i read usplash.conf has a wrong resolution [00:16] I also backup stuff the stuff to dvd. :) [00:16] i can fix it... then what? [00:17] I wish DL dvd disks would get cheaper. [00:17] Ric84: I think it can be fixed in menu.lst in /boot somewhere [00:17] Ric84, if I read your question right , sudo update-initiramfs -c [00:18] Ric84, erm sudo update-initramfs -c (typo) [00:18] ok [00:18] Ok, I'm burning SystemRescueCD on an Evil Empire computer, how can I fix... GRUB not knowing where any of my kernels are? [00:18] i'm reading update-initramfs man page [00:18] it says -c creates a new initramfs [00:19] how do i replace the old one? [00:19] never did this... i never touched an initramfs [00:19] Ric84: Touch it [00:19] How do i mount my CD. for some very strange reason its not automatically mounted [00:20] Ric84, it'll overwrite the current one, works fine. [00:20] Hello Everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays/Winter for everyone else =D [00:20] duh... -u [00:20] what about -u? [00:20] Ric84, works too :) [00:20] Luigi I will pastebin some notes I have on restoring grub.....give me a sec [00:20] arash: mount /media/cdrom? [00:21] Except for the southern Hemisphere... I guess its sort of summer there.

[00:22] i need to encode a vcd fast, avidemux took over an hour on my box for one disc [00:23] mcquaid: I installed tovid recently [00:23] don't really see anything i can tweak. anyone know of a fast vcd encoder [00:23] was it fast? [00:23] mcquaid: No lol [00:23] heh [00:24] mcquaid: Took about an hour for a 50-min vid [00:24] I did a bad stupid thing... I could use some help... i installed ubuntu, and forgot the username and password [00:24] Bakefy: :O [00:24] ya that's way too long. i remember back in the day i used tmpgenc and got about the same time with my pii 400 [00:24] hyperb0lix is there a way I can just create a new account? [00:24] Bakefy, boot live cd, chroot to installed system, look in home for user name, then set the password [00:24] if i could do almost realtime encoding with a pii 400, it should fly now [00:25] Bakefy: You're using Linux now? [00:25] first time i've tried making a vcd in years [00:25] Bakefy: edit /etc/shadow from a live boot disc [00:25] thanks all I will try this [00:25] when I boot up right before the filling kubuntu bar gets to the part where it mounts the partitions it gives me that it's the wrong uuid for kubuntu. so kubuntu is trying to mount itself on top of its old uuid. what's the command that lists the uuid of the partitions [00:25] I love my free Ubuntu CDs =D, so handy [00:25] are there kernel hackers here? [00:26] Bakefy: lots if tutorials out there on how to do it [00:26] whats a good console based mp3 player apart from moc and mp3blaster? [00:26] Evolution2: blkid [00:27] robdig: thanks [00:27] Evolution2: np [00:27] Fermat's Last Theorem! [00:27] how [00:27] woh [00:27] who can answer kernel based questions? (No, do not send me the >>kernel<< answer) [00:27] lol [00:27] Wow so many updates... 149 updates total X_X [00:27] hey ist down here! [00:28] bascule, im booting to the live dvd now... [00:28] robdig: so to fix my problem where do I stick this uuid in fstab or grub menu [00:29] Evolution2: both [00:29] how can I install the last vanilla kernel with nvidia support in kubuntu/ubuntu? [00:29] Bakefy: Make sure you add an entry in /etc/passwd, too [00:29] !chocolate kernel [00:29] Evolution2: agree with wols [00:29] happy new year, hoops sorry [00:29] wols: the leading grub install is using my ubuntu partition [00:29] lol [00:30] so on grub/fstab kubuntu + grub ubuntu? [00:30] How paltalk be installed? [00:30] do you know a program for create cd cover ? [00:30] mimilus bonnes vacances ;) [00:31] Bakefy: ok, kenny:!:13755:0:99999:7:: <--edit the $1$ to the colon to mimic that [00:31] How paltalk be installed? [00:31] bascule: He needs to add an entry to passwd, too, eh? [00:31] !find paltalk [00:31] bascule, i might have some questions once I actually attempt this. [00:31] Package/file paltalk does not exist in gutsy [00:31] ummm... I know how GNU/Linux works, but how do I get SystemRescueCD and lynx to... work like they did in Ubuntu with my simple Ethernet connection? [00:32] hyperb0lix: well if shadow is enabled password field is set as :x:, so no [00:32] is ubotu intelligent :s [00:32] And where will the rest of my harddisk be found in SystemRescueCD anyway? [00:32] bascule: Oh, wait, is he adding a user or resetting the passwd? [00:32] hyperb0lix: well username will be listed at the end so let's just blank it [00:33] Luigi, a lot of those live cds have network setup tools you run. [00:33] I know it does not exist, but there is only way to install? [00:33] OK [00:34] heloo [00:34] ? [00:34] ooleh? [00:34] I know it does not exist, but there is only way to install? [00:34] hyperb0lix: though removing the x from the :s in passwd will do no harm [00:34] Aye [00:34] Bakefy: you could also chroot to the ubuntu install and go from there [00:35] bascule: chroot+passwd? [00:35] yes [00:35] k [00:35] or useradd then passwd [00:35] please... [00:36] elyas: I could only find Paltalk for Windows [00:36] spytalk [00:36] bascule, i have the shadow document open... [00:36] elyas: if it is a windows only program, then perhaps run it under wine in ubuntu [00:36] elyas: whats paltalk? [00:36] I don't know... [00:36] Some sort of chat thingy [00:36] oh ok. [00:36] elyas: or better yet, ask the developers will they do a linux version, or use software that have linux version [00:37] bascule, i see this "ubuntu:U6oaksdfoak:1231:123123:123113 (those are random) is that what I edit? [00:37] Bakefy: ok the last line will be the last added user, it goes username::..other bits, we ned to remove all chars from between the first 2 colons :: [00:37] Bakefy: yeah [00:37] Wine is operated by well-managed after fixation [00:37] bascule, what should i do from here? [00:38] soit looks like ubuntu:: [00:38] Bakefy: and this is the /etc/shadow from the partition not the live cd [00:38] Thank you very much for each of attempted assistance [00:38] so /media/mountpoint/etc/shadow [00:39] But there is a question regarding the version 6.06 Is there a security threat to use? [00:40] Could someone please recommend a RAD C++ IDE for Ubuntu 7.10? [00:40] bascule that is correct. [00:40] nicholas: RAD? I've always used Anjuta for C++ [00:40] elyas: I would switch to Gutsy, since the programs are more up-to-date [00:41] Bakefy: so if you have ubuntu:::0:999999:7 or such save it [00:41] the LTS versions are over rated in my opinion, unless you're supporting a bunch of computers, a network, etc. [00:41] or are paying for support [00:41] IndyGunFreak: I concur :) [00:41] I'm never installing a .10-version again [00:41] Could I of this depends organ during installation [00:42] dagon^: lol, why? [00:42] Change is slow in corporate, for that type of environment you almost need something like LTS [00:42] dagon^: So you won't install October versions? === mark___ is now known as black_helicopter [00:42] IndyGunFreak; hmm, Gutsy fucked up my computer :D [00:42] i dobut it was gutsy, it was likely a user malfunction [00:42] IndyGunFreak: people are so accustomed to ms release cycles that it fraks them out to change every 18 months : [00:42] ) [00:42] bascule: every 18?... lol, i change every 6 [00:42] me too [00:43] Same, but we run desktops, not Enterprise server clusters [00:43] bascule okay, done. [00:43] hmm, I changed from Win2k to Feisty :O [00:43] Bakefy: in /etc/passwd delete the x between the first 2 colons of user ubuntu [00:43] Thank you. [00:43] Anjuta looks good. [00:43] I'm downloading it. [00:43] i can understand using LTS in a network situation, where you have to keep track of numerous computers, etc, but for the average user, just keep use the most recent version [00:43] I apt-get installed a txt file... but i dont know where it was downloaded to. Where can i look / search for it?. [00:43] nicholas: whats anjuta? [00:43] nicholas: Great =) I hope you like it [00:43] All new versions of other distributions determine what Uday ubuntu, however, I prefer the old to the rest of distributions [00:43] !info anjuta [00:44] Anjuta is a C++ RAD IDE.

It seems to me like it was a quick fix that never got polished so it just got worse and worse XD [00:53] Can someone tell me why i can't run from terminal ? everything i try to run i get -sh: No such file or directory [00:53] sulle: problem is, when you remove it, it has hosed more than one system. [00:53] this is probably not the place to ask but I dont' seem to be able to get an answer anywhere else [00:53] sudo apt-get remove automatix [00:53] Falados: No matter how much you polish a turd...... [00:53] haha [00:53] Milotin: echo $PATH, what does it say? [00:53] sulle: if its working ok.. i would let it be, and when you *upgrade*.. do a clean install, and don't reinstall automatix. [00:53] hyperb0lix: hahaha n1 [00:53] bascule, thank you, it's kind of you to explain :) [00:54] basti: I enjoy it sometimes :) [00:54] IndyGunFreak: Okok. thnx for your advice. [00:54] sulle: or if you start to have a problem, reinstall, and don't reinstall automatix. [00:54] gj bascule! :D [00:54] :P [00:54] bascule : /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games [00:54] I have a analogue tv tuner card (Yuan PG600), Ubuntu installed the IVTV driver for me [00:54] so that's all good [00:54] Milotin: looks god [00:54] Sound not working in Flash? [00:54] but for some strange reason, the card is on mute and no matter what I do, I can't unmute it [00:54] Fezzler: I had that problem with older Flash [00:54] * sulle brb to teh internets [00:54] I can see video though [00:54] can anyone offer me any advice? [00:54] Milotin: so say ls in a shell, does it respond? [00:54] turdy: some tv cards are easy, some are hard... [00:55] mine was pretty easy [00:55] I was going to send a group merry christmas message to my contacts on pidgin. any idea on how I could do it? :) [00:55] I was just oging to buy a new one but its god damn expensive for an analogue tv card [00:55] bascule : yes , everything else works fine [00:55] and aI'm not even entirely sure if its the drivers fault [00:55] I use Road Runner. Video sound and all other sound work. Just not flash on their online radio? [00:55] Milotin: which command fails? [00:55] turdy: Did you try the sound controller? You probably need to view all of the sliders so that you can unmute them [00:56] tried that [00:56] if i've navigated to a folder with the File Browser,.. is there a way to open open a terminal thats already at that location? [00:56] didn't work [00:56] I checked using the vl4ctl tool [00:56] turdy: Are you sure you selected the right device? [00:56] and it says the audio is muted [00:56] bascule : ./httpd ; ./ircd [00:56] sigh, I like mono, but mono doesn't like me. [00:56] I can hear music and everything [00:56] just the freaking tv tuner card decides to produce no audio [00:56] (as you can imagine, tv without sound isn't much fun) [00:56] what is the channel for open office questions? [00:56] bqmassey in xfce if you right click on the folder there is a menu item for Open Terminal Here [00:56] Milotin: cause you need to be in the directory those files reside, hence the ./ [00:57] If it's a huge problem, you can probably get a cable to go from your Tuner's audio out to your sound card's line-in [00:57] bascule the point is i am there [00:57] bqmassey, install nautilus-open-terminal , it'll be in your context menu [00:57] Falados: The tuner doesn't have an audio out [00:57] Milotin: ?? weird [00:57] turdy: Ah, darn [00:57] It sucks! [00:57] everything works, just the stupid audio [00:57] thanks nickrud_ [00:57] turdy: I had a 10$ tuner, isnt' worth the silicon its printed on [00:58] biouser - #openoffice.org [00:58] I am inputing data into the spreadsheet and I would like to be able to see the first entry in the column [00:58] hehehehe... [00:58] arash, thx [00:58] I've been waiting for someone to respond in ivtv-dev channel [00:58] but they're all in holiday mode or something [00:58] turdy: what card, there may be parameters required for the module [00:58] HOLIDAY MODE WOOOO [00:58] biouser: feel free for wild guesses pal, simply #openoffice redirects to openoffice.org [00:58] turdy: youcan't get the ALSA working? [00:59] ALSA works [00:59] I can play mp3s and everything [00:59] ah ok [00:59] Just wondering turdy, who makes the TV card? [00:59] its a Yuan PG600 [01:00] its also rebranded as a Diamond PG550 I believe [01:00] turdy: what chit bt878? [01:00] chip [01:00] its a ct something or rather [01:00] if its a bt878, it shoudln't need ivtv.. just install TVTime, or KDETV, or whatever, and it should work fine. [01:00] I am wondering... [01:01] sterling: well, we aren't mind readers [01:01] What is the best windows emulator, that runs the fastest and runs COD 4 on it? [01:01] anyone kno? [01:01] sterling: I just use VMware Player [01:01] does anyone have a Hauppage WinTV TV-card? [01:01] Does that playu COD 4? [01:01] dagon^: i have a PVR-150 [01:01] sterling: I have no idea what COD 4 is [01:01] i think thats a hauppage [01:01] CALL OF DUTY [01:01] nvm [01:02] Call of Duty 4 [01:02] turdy: lspci -v should show the chip number as well as the vendor string [01:02] Erm, vmware might be slow [01:02] COD4 is so new.. I would be suprised if it runs with wine/cedega [01:02] IndyGunFreak; so do I, does it work smoothly? [01:02] dagon^: me [01:02] vmware is not for 3d games. :) [01:02] i have no probs with it at all, owrked out of the box. [01:02] Dr_willis: Yeah :P [01:02] :D [01:02] sweet [01:02] what does Indy? [01:02] IndyGunFreak: But that card is expensive [01:02] Theres the 3d game aspect.. then thers the 'uber copy protection' these new titles have on them that also mess with wine/cedega [01:02] nickrud_: do i have to restart ubuntu? [01:02] what card is expensive? [01:02] turdy: i think i paid like 40-50 for mine, i don't know. [01:03] where from? [01:03] I got a PVR150 card also. [01:03] cause that's the thing, I'm thinking of just buying that card [01:03] I paid about 1000SEK for my PVR150 [01:03] and throw out that freaking Yuan PG600 [01:03] got it and a remote last year on sale for like $100 or less. - rebates [01:03] I know I have the the hardwar to run COD 4, but need a windows client that works with it. [01:03] IndyGunFreak: I cannot make my hauppage work. what model do you have ? [01:03] Dr_willis: i never got the remote to work. [01:03] tacone: pvr150 [01:03] IndyGunFreak, i got it working with mYthtv - but its sluggish.. so i just use a wireless keyboard [01:04] Dr_willis: i use VLC and terminal to change channels, works awesome. [01:04] I see. I have hvr 1200, which simply don't work. [01:04] I hope I can get my PVT150 to work without troubles [01:04] PVT 150?.. never heard of that one, don't know. [01:04] dagon^: Most ppl seem to have no problems with it [01:05] good [01:05] thinking of making a TV-computer with Ubuntu as OS :) [01:05] so no-one has any experience with ivtv doing weird stuff? [01:05] IndyGunFreak, I just use it with Mythtv. :) i rarely watch live tv withit [01:05] dagon^: thats pretty much what i have. [01:05] tacone: there are a lot of modprobe options on bt878 see kernel docs [01:05] dagon^: I spent the whole week doing that [01:05] Dr_willis: all i watch is live TV..lol [01:05] got everything going except for TV [01:05] IndyGunFreak; sweet :D [01:05] I have TV with NO FREAKING AUDIO [01:05] bascule: can you give me any link ? [01:06] IndyGunFreak, with MythTV i can record the live tv.. and zap out comercials... [01:06] bascule: I tried a lot of things. now I am hoping with some kind of compatibility with hvr1600. [01:06] /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20/Documentation/video4linux/bttv [01:06] IndyGunFreak; does it work with regular videos and such, I mean, can you skip to next video and such? [01:06] Dr_willis: i don't generally record, i figure if i can't watch it live, i don't need to watch it. [01:06] hey everyone... how can i convert a CD into mp3's? yes i would militantly defend ogg vorbis, but this is for my mom whose mp3 player doesn't like that format. any ideas? [01:06] lot's of such there -,- [01:06] the_darkside_986: You could use Grip to rip the CD [01:06] IndyGunFreak, with that logic.. i wouldent even need a tv. :) i work 2nd shift.. [01:06] dagon^: i don't use it to record live TV, so i couldn't tell you, i just use it like a normal television [01:06] the_darkside_986, grip+lame [01:07] Dr_willis: info-mercials are awesome-o..lol [01:07] lame keeps saying that the wave is not in 32 bit format. i'm trying to perform lame on wav files... [01:07] IndyGunFreak; aha, I'll try myself then :D [01:07] actually, the message all mp3 encoders give me is: " is not in 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz!" but i'll try the Grip program thanks [01:07] the_darkside_986: file some.wav, what does the report [01:07] the_darkside_986, you have to extract the digital audio into .wav format [01:07] bascule: I don't have that file [01:07] the_darkside_986: Grip utilizes lame if you want MP3 encoding [01:08] tacone: it's in kernel source [01:08] i have a small question guys: ive just actually recently fixed my wifi to get online (it was disabled) but now that i get online it drops off the connection from time to time id say a ~10 minute lifespan. i really dont know what can be doing it. some info about my stuff: im using the restricted firmware to get my wireless card working. and to connect to the router its a WPA.. im not sure what makes me drop off :( [01:08] i ripped the wavs with serpentine. serpentine utterly refuses to let me select a mp3 "profile" [01:08] tacone: linux-source-2.6.22 [01:08] fsanlu, that sounds to me like unclear signal. [01:08] I don't have in my generic kernel [01:08] Lunar_Lamp: it wouldnt make sense, for none of the other computers running windows drop off :\ [01:09] the_darkside_986: lame isn't encoding the wavs as mp3s? [01:09] i have a toshiba satellite A135-S4467, i believe it is 64 bit but im not sure, should i install ubuntu 7.10 with the standard distro or the 64bit AMD and Intel distro? [01:09] Do they have the same wireless card? [01:09] And are they in the same place? [01:09] bascule, I don't have it. [01:09] I have some major concrens about ubuntu [01:09] well just 2 actually [01:09] shoot [01:09] fsanlu: are the restricteds the only way u can get it working? [01:09] Lunar_Lamp: i have another laptop just like this. so yes, im right next to it [01:09] fsanlu, ok [01:09] I've got Documentation, but not video4linux [01:09] EdwardXP: and those are? [01:09] fsanlu, how have you configured the wifi card? [01:09] i've been trying to apply lame to *.wav from the commandline but now i will try a real GUI tool like Grip [01:10] IndyGunFreak, wwhen you install a .sh file' is there a record of where those files are going, so u don't lose tract? [01:10] EdwardXP: i don't know the answer to that, sorry [01:10] EdwardXP, in the .sh file itself [01:10] bascule: how do I get that on gutsy ? [01:10] i have a toshiba satellite A135-S4467, i believe it is 64 bit but im not sure, should i install ubuntu 7.10 with the standard distro or the 64bit AMD and Intel distro? [01:10] how much space do i need to give for the ubuntu installation [01:10] sorry to repeat, any advice on that question though? [01:10] hey uh can i get some holiday help with booting? it involves (although isnt totally a problem involving) windows, grub, and MBRs, all that good stuff. can anyone help? [01:10] racarter: if you have to ask, start w/ the standard 32bit version [01:10] grody: well i was looking at the docs and i found that my card was disabled. so what i did was i installed the bcm43xx-wcutter package and downloaded the .o file firmware to let it enable.. then boom my wireless card suddenly turned on [01:10] Turdy, as much as you can, but a gig would suffice [01:11] I only have 30 gig hardisk and windows is taking [01:11] grody, when you install a program a .sh file it installs and the command works, but it doesn't show up in the applications menu [01:11] i had actually installed the 64 bit version successfully before [01:11] tacone: apt-get install linux-source-2.6.22 [01:11] racarter: 64bit requires some hoop jumping that frustrates newbies(like web plugins, etc..) [01:11] fsanlu: Only guessing here. Have you tried a different USB port? And are you using a USB hub by chance? How about trying a different port? [01:11] grody, are you saying 1 GB ise nought for Ubuntu? [01:11] racarter: Then best you stick with 64 [01:11] ahh fsanlu, you need to configure the card to associate, authenticate & connect to it [01:11] grody, no where in there, and just for any reason, how do u uninstall a .sh file [01:11] but i wasn't able to get some stuff to work [01:11] tacone: was away trying to find it online, not easy [01:11] racarter: nvm [01:11] :P [01:11] FishFacel: im not sure what you mean [01:11] fsanlu: Its a USB wirless adapter? [01:12] grody: how would i be able to do that? its a built in ethernet card [01:12] EdwardXP, the .sh should give you the option, but all the places where files are stored have to put into the .sh [01:12] ok, next question about ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop.. is there any special precautions i should take since i have vista installed on the first partition? [01:12] bascule, I am doing [01:12] fsanlu, you mean an internal wifi card? [01:12] NICK Nikobee [01:12] racarter: Yeah, take extra special precaution with Vista [01:12] grody: yes [01:12] NICK [01:12] fsanlu, man wpa_supplicant :) [01:12] thanks.. um, any particular precautions? [01:12] IndyGunFreak; any experience with bluetooth usb-adapter? [01:12] if you run kde, knetworkmanager [01:12] i have an nvidia riva128 agp card, which seems to act strangly in this dell box. it worked flawlessly in another box tho. (same os, same driver 'nv') thoughts ? [01:12] is it ok to use grub with vista? [01:12] racarter: It has been known to make your laptop implode spontaneously [01:12] for gnome, network-manager, but im not sure it deals with WPA [01:12] Wondering if anyone here has any experience with installing Linux/Ubuntu on an IBM XSeries 225, specifically with a LSI53C1030 raid controller? [01:13] yeah serious hyperb0lix, my computer stopped booting at some point with vista [01:13] grody: man wpa_supplicant? [01:13] alright, i will install grub and assume everything will boot normally then.. [01:13] fiXXXerMet: whats the problem? [01:13] bascule, I installed. it's a tgz [01:13] yes fsanlu, you will need that if you're running a WPA router [01:13] grody, can i send you the file [01:13] man is just the man page to it [01:13] grody: hmm can i just take the easy way and make the router WEP? acuse i can do that [01:14] Can anyone recommend a simple mail server? I simply want to accept mail from any address, and then process the mail using a procmail filter. I'd prefer something that has a curses or web based configuration tool so I don't have to learn a configuration format syntax. [01:14] EdwardXP, what is it? [01:14] [01:14] crossover [01:14] fsanlu, you could.. but you would need to enter the WEP key into ifconfig or iwconfig [01:14] EdwardXP, it gives you an option where to store the files [01:14] ciphercast: Two things. 1: I don't know how to tell the integrated RAID hardware software to let me do a software raid through Ubuntu (mdadm). But more importantly, when I start to install ubuntu, it doesn't detect the disks or the controller and prompts me for a drive. [01:14] driver* [01:15] x_or define simple. simple in it's codebase or simple in it's configuration ? [01:15] all files that are extracted are normally put in /tmp [01:15] tacone: sudo tar zxvf the.tgz [01:15] grody: okay ill just play around with this then :] btw just curious when u type to me it flashes (im using x-chat) am i doing it right by typing ur name and adding a colon? hehehe. [01:15] fsanlu, colon, comma, whatever :P [01:16] intelikey: simple in the configuration. I don't care about the language it is written in, just want something that does not require a lot of reading to get up to speed. I admit up front I am ignorant of mail servers and the protocols. [01:16] mine flashes too fsanlu, its usually when someone says your name [01:16] nothing [01:16] I just want to receive all mail on my host and process using a procmail filter. [01:16] grody ohhhhhh hahahahahaa its like magic alright ill play around with this for awhile :] thanks for the input [01:16] <_6StringKng_> where in the Configuration Editor is the option to show mounted drives on the desktop? I changed it a while back but want it so I can see a thumb drive on the desktop [01:16] bascule: ok, I extracted only video4linux [01:16] EdwardXP, what exactly are you trying to do.. because when you run xover, it asks you where to install too [01:16] fiXXXerMet: can do go into the bios and turn off the raid controller? [01:16] yw fsanlu [01:17] intelikey: Thanks for your response and input, btw. [01:17] tacone: well go from there in the dir are a lot of text files with explanations of things to try [01:17] x_or fetchmail but even it requires some reading so... not really. [01:17] I'm only familiar with aftermarket integrated raid controllers [01:17] ciphercast: I looked, and couldn't find it. There is a bios update out that I am going to install shortly. [01:17] <_6StringKng_> help, anyone? I changed it to where I can' [01:17] intelikey: Is there anything that has a web configuration front end that you know of? [01:17] <_6StringKng_> t [01:17] <_6StringKng_> see the drives mounted on the desktop [01:17] are there any common ways to get webcams to work? [01:17] hey [01:17] <_6StringKng_> in the configuration editor, I forgoty what I changed, lol, now I want it back [01:17] intelikey: I think postfix might be the right one to use. [01:17] rainwalker: plug and pray :) [01:18] x_or hmmm/// let me think. [01:18] rainwalker; hmm, for msn? [01:18] bascule: atheist =( [01:18] :) [01:18] dagon^: amsn [01:18] grody, just a secc... [01:18] rainwalker; yeah, that's what I meant :P just plug and play [01:18] bascule, good one ;), often jsut the solution is jsut to plug the device in [01:18] bascule: how do I know which chipset my card uses ? [01:18] dagon^: and if that doesn't work? [01:18] works for me [01:18] rainwalker; it will [01:18] I just updated from 7.04 to 7.10 and now my resolution is all messed up and it takes a long time to boot up. Also I had a dual boot between 7.04 and XP and now I have XP along with like 6 different versions of 7.10 [01:19] tacone: lspci -v [01:19] dagon^: it doesn't [01:19] fiXXXerMet: otherwise, you'll probably need to configure the raid using the controller menu system [01:19] What file do I modify to change which partitions are mounted on startup? [01:19] tacone: also lsmod and dmesg to see what was/is detected [01:19] fstab [01:19] x_or, you want a gui frontend to configure a mail server? [01:19] jewbilee: /etc/fstab [01:19] dagon^: when I try to set it up, it recognizes the model and everything, but it gets some error [01:19] Grip seems to be working. Thanks everyone for the help. Maybe someday ogg vorbis will rule the world. until then... :( [01:19] rainwalker; in amsn, start a conversation, click the webcam down by the field where you type, and it works :) [01:19] what i like is.. how this community is just so helpful with one another. its like refreshing to know its not a bunch of snobs that hate on you. haha one day i shall know a lot about this stuff to help others too [01:19] fiXXXerMet: thanks [01:19] rainwalker; oh [01:19] rainwalker; is it a very old webcam? [01:20] dagon^: I don't know [01:20] a year or two? [01:20] hmm [01:20] should be no problems then [01:20] dagon^: hang on, I'll do it again and tell you what it says [01:20] ok [01:20] fsanlu: walk in the light side you will [01:21] bascule: Conexant Unknown device 8852 (rev 02) ... (unknown ?!) [01:21] Another question. Let's say that I get the driver for my controller and install Ubuntu on it, using raid 1. The server supports hot swapping drives.. Nee dI do anything special to make this work in Ubuntu? [01:21] x_or ssmtp "might" i don't really recall but fetchmailconf is a gui that helps you setup fetchmail makes it "newbe friendly" [01:21] dagon^: sent request to send webcam [01:21] dagon^: the only problem is that the person isn't there to accept [01:21] not neccessarily, could be a modem, but if so, no driver by the looks, dump lspci -v to pastebin for me [01:21] rainwalker; then it's ok my friend [01:21] tacone: ^^ [01:21] no, it doesn't work when they accept [01:21] intelikey: Is fetchmail an equivalent to postfix? I used postfix long in the past. [01:21] dagon^: I just can't remember what it says [01:22] fetchmail is a cli pop mail fetcher [01:22] rainwalker; it doesn't? hmm, weird [01:22] dagon^: something like "grabber not available" I think [01:22] x_or * [01:22] Hey, I've lost all sound from ALSA, I have no idea what the problem is: Can someone offer some support? [01:22] !Pt [01:22] Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [01:22] jinxed- , resetting the xorg.conf file perhaps culd help? [01:22] rainwalker; oh, that has never appeared to me [01:22] grody: Sorry? [01:22] bascule: ok, I promised myself not even looking into this before the new year. going to get some cigarettes :-) [01:22] gordy fetchmail is cli but fetchmailconf is a gui configurator for it. [01:22] grody: Oh, got it [01:22] thank you ! [01:22] dagon^: ahhh I have the worst luck with gadgets lately [01:22] tacone: cool [01:22] so just a question how many of you are majoring in computer science or something related per chance? === fabio is now known as fabio_miguel [01:23] x_or, if you want a simple way to configure postfix or sendmail, try out webmin :) [01:23] dagon^: do you have msn? so I could show you what it's saying? [01:23] rainwalker; just chill man, everything will work out just fine eventually :) [01:23] fsanlu, all of us. Isn't that obvious? [01:23] grody, intelikey: I think I would still need postfix or another MTA, in addition to fetchmail, right? [01:23] yeah webmin. i should have thought of that. [01:23] Hey, I've lost all sound from ALSA, I have no idea what the problem is: Can someone offer some support? [01:23] x_or: only to send mail [01:23] x_or sendmail :) [01:24] yeah, easy config [01:24] x_or, they can be used in tandom.. i used to, fetcmail to grab mail from isp & then deliver it into my local mail system which i then pick up at home [01:24] arash: i guess that would be.. hahaha. [01:24] lmao [01:24] Phophos: just a chance, but have you checked to make sure nothing is muted? [01:24] bascule: grody, intelikey: webmin is not in the standard repository, is it in a non-std repo, or do I need to download and install myself. Neither is a problem. [01:24] bascule: I need to receive mail, not send. [01:24] fsanlu: While your enthusiasm is appreciated. The off topic chat will get you booted on a normal busy day in here [01:24] ahh, you'll need to go to the website.. they have a .deb package :) [01:24] !info webmin [01:24] rainwalker: I'll check one last time ... Nothing except microphone is muted. [01:24] grody: I want to receive mail on my DSL connection, persistent host, my ISP does not receive mail for me. [01:25] Package webmin does not exist in gutsy [01:25] x_or, http://www.webmin.com [01:25] x_or: you need postfix of qmail [01:25] x_or nope no package in the repos [01:25] x_or, why not use a mail forwarder or something, like use webmail & have all your mail sent there? [01:26] if you want to send mail from home, just setup a local postfix & use that [01:26] If I'm about to install Ubuntu should I hook up all of my hardware (Extra Monitor, Printer, etc.) before or after installing and setting up? [01:26] x_or: and you might find the isp blocks 25 and 80 [01:26] Could someone recommend a C++ Audio library? [01:26] jcg42, no harm in whilst the install [01:26] grody: I want to receive email on my host so I can use a procmail filter to process it as it comes in. I don't need to read in any other fashion. [01:27] hi,everyone [01:27] hi [01:27] grody, huh? [01:27] x_or, fetchmail to grab it, postfix to process it & store it [01:27] why cannot i halt my computer? [01:27] jcg42, before the install (during) [01:27] matrix_, are you root? [01:27] grody, Thank you [01:27] every time i halt my computer,it said system halted,but just stopped there [01:27] ahh [01:27] it does [01:28] doesn't like psu/mobo [01:28] yes, i installed the system [01:28] jcg42: what type of dual monitors card do you have? [01:28] very rare these days [01:28] matrix_, possible you have a buggy ACPI/APM bios [01:28] grody: what do you mean [01:29] so ho to? [01:29] grody: it said system halted,but cannot halt,cannot off my computer [01:29] matrix_, try 'sudo shutdown -P now' [01:29] intelikey, bascule, grody: Wow, webmin is freaking awesome. [01:29] that /should/ do it [01:30] Anyone know what causes the fade-out effect when the screen saver kicks in? [01:30] x_or, just be careful to firewall it or make it listen only on loopback :) [01:30] BHSPitMonkey, i think that's xscreensaver that does it [01:31] yeah, can fade in and out, xscreensaver-demo to launch the config util [01:31] BHSPitMonkey: I always thought that was compiz fusion doing that... [01:31] rainwalker, heh, even in dapper and edgy and feisty? [01:31] nah, done that for years [01:31] BHSPitMonkey: it faded in those? [01:31] yeah [01:31] oh [01:31] i have an nvidia riva128 agp card, which seems to act strangly in this dell box. it worked flawlessly in another box tho. (same os, same driver 'nv') thoughts ? [01:31] adjustable in and out [01:31] lol [01:31] never noticed [01:32] rainwalker: gnome and kde don't, xscreensaver its self does [01:32] anyone ? [01:32] so I'm guessing Logitech doesn't have the best linux support does it? [01:32] intelikey, strangely how? [01:32] rainwalker; it works just fine [01:32] my webcam is logitech [01:32] rainwalker, not across the board [01:32] rainwalker: there webcams mostly work [01:32] dagon^: what do you have? [01:32] staticy lines scroll down the screen sometimes BHSPitMonkey [01:32] rainwalker; some older Logitech [01:32] my logitech webcam sort of works. It works in ubuntu on my laptop, but on my desktop it causes kernel panics. [01:32] bascule: well for some reason mine won't [01:33] I even changed motherboards and it does the same. [01:33] dagon^: mines older too...this is so unfair [01:33] :p [01:33] intelikey, odd; sure it's not the display dying? [01:33] life is unfair [01:33] i know almost nothing of webcams [01:33] BHSPitMonkey it's not constant. but it is frequent and very annoying [01:33] the weird thing is that i used some app called cheese that connected to it fine, but amsn won't [01:33] BHSPitMonkey what do you mean ? [01:33] heh, get the same on windows all the time [01:34] rainwalker, then it's amsn's fault [01:34] some apps work, others don't [01:34] intelikey, are you sure it's not the monitor [01:34] BHSPitMonkey: I figured [01:34] rainwalker; try the latest version of amsn [01:34] dagon^: I installed via synaptic [01:34] BHSPitMonkey the card ? oh monitor..... no. [01:34] !enter | bascule [01:34] bascule: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [01:34] BHSPitMonkey i can swap the monitor out and prove that tho. [01:35] Pelo: 6# girl..... [01:35] bit harsh Pelo [01:35] Jack_Sparrow, congrats [01:35] Jack_Sparrow, or more better, your niece [01:35] yep... [01:35] BHSPitMonkey also it only does it in graphics mode [01:35] is one of you two gonna bring me into the loop on this little OT ? [01:36] Pelo: Niece just had her baby [01:36] when i try to add a user through the terminal, it says only root can add a user. How can i add one through my account? [01:36] Jack_Sparrow, congrats I guess, weight ? [01:36] yep [01:36] Pelo, all of his messages were complete thoughts [01:36] rufus you can't. [01:37] Rufus_, use sudo before the command [01:37] Rufus_, sudo adduser , you need to use sudo to get yourself root (admin) privs [01:37] thanks [01:37] Hi I need help about Grub. [01:37] Rufus_ only root can. sudo is an app that lets you use your user password to gain root access. [01:37] AimLXJ, what is your issue ? [01:38] I cannot boot into Windows XP nor Windows VIsta, I have tried (hd0,0)-(hd0,5) [01:38] Through the menu.lst [01:38] AimLXJ, what is the devtree of the xp partiton ? [01:38] AimLXJ; did you install windows first? [01:38] Thank YOu [01:38] I have a lot of error in my dmesg file like : RPC: failed to contact local rpcbind server (errno 5). I use Ubuntu server and I sometimes need to restart the NFS server 'cause of time out ... [01:38] Yes I installed WIndows first. [01:38] then that's right [01:38] AimLXJ, can you paste bin your /boot/grub/menu.lst file so we can have a look [01:39] "lockd_up: makesock failed, error=-5" and "rpcbind: server localhost not responding, timed out" [01:39] !pastebin | AimLXJ (just in case) [01:39] AimLXJ (just in case): pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[01:40] AimLXJ, no [01:40] dagon^: That is the recommended and easier way [01:40] !pastebin | AimLXJ [01:40] AimLXJ: 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) [01:40] AimLXJ: no [01:40] Jack_Sparrow; so a friend told me [01:40] dagon^, you have a good friend there,feed him candy [01:40] nickrud_; lol :P [01:40] is anybody having a problem with artifacts appearing in the window border in gnome while using advanced desktop effects [01:40] dagon^, if you instal windows first , the ubuntu installer sees that there is more then ubuntu on the comp and makes an extra menu entry for windows, [01:41] yeees [01:41] redd0t, with ati ? [01:41] hey whats a hex viewer for ubunut? [01:41] Pelo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49515/ [01:41] boo: hexedit [01:41] redd0t, that might happen if your card is borderline [01:41] and windows don't try to rape the boot [01:41] AimLXJ, hold on [01:41] nickrud: no, thats whats weird i have an nvidia 5600 [01:41] Pelo: i didnt have the problem in kde though. [01:41] haha [01:41] Kaka in albanian means poo [01:41] redd0t, same issue [01:42] Pelo: i did a reinstall and just decided to wait to install kde until kde4 [01:42] unny [01:42] Pelo: oh. okay [01:42] funny [01:42] redd0t: long wail [01:42] bascule: jan 18 [01:42] hey [01:42] redd0t, dekstop manager you use is unrelated to the problem [01:42] redd0t: in terms of ubuntu one after hardy, so october 2008 [01:43] bascule: it will still be in teh repos though [01:43] bascule, no, I read on nixternal's blog that kde4 will be available in hardy [01:43] hey every1 [01:43] AimLXJ, , can you tell me the /dev/hd*** add of the windows xp partiton ? [01:43] help, all my sound is skipping all over the place, sounds like a cd with a million scratches on it [01:43] Pelo: but why in gnome and not in kde. i had no problems with artifacts before the reinstall [01:43] how do i make it go away??? [01:43] so.. [01:43] redd0t: maybe unofficial ones, but official I doubt it, could .. thanks nickrud_ [01:43] .dal.net [01:44] redd0t, no idea, mabe the ppl in #compiz have a clue [01:44] Pelo: It's a sda2 [01:44] okay, thanks [01:44] im new to all this [01:44] SAVVYDK1, reboot, make sure you don'T have so much stuff using your cpu that you don'T have any mem or cpu left and try it [01:44] AimLXJ, and the vista one ? [01:45] Pelo: sda5 [01:45] i'll try it, I know i have memory and cpu to plare, tho [01:45] bb [01:45] Pelo: I am thinking he may have a recovery partition on there.. maybe fdisk -l [01:45] in x-chat, how can i have two networks open at the same time? [01:45] "that you don'T have any mem left" ? heh. [01:45] Pelo: the problem happens when im not doing anything. my pc is a pos, but my friends is fairly new and his has same issue [01:45] lol why is xchat is running when a log in my session? [01:45] AimLXJ, ok line 157 should read root (hd0,1) and line 166 should read root (hd0,4) [01:45] i found it [01:46] why is xchat is running when a log in my session? [01:46] GHOST; nice english there :) [01:46] Jack_Sparrow, we don'T want to boot the recovery partiton anyway , I'M not sure waht fdisk -L would do [01:47] GHOST you closed the session with it running ? [01:47] intelikey i just reboot my pc [01:47] I had so trouble with phpmy admin that I removed it and now I'm reinstalling it is there a good way to reinstall it? [01:47] intelikey yes ho isee lol [01:47] Pelo: Tell us if it had one or not... Sorry, kinda exhausted here... [01:47] ubotu: get a life [01:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about get a life - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:47] dagon^: do you want to know the error that amsn is giving me? [01:47] rainwalker; sure [01:47] tacone: Behave [01:48] Pelo: Okay I'm going to reboot the computer, I'll come back if I have any more problems, thanks! [01:48] rainwalker; I hope I can help you too :) [01:48] dagon^: what's pastebin's url? [01:48] GHOST i'm not very familear with gnome, but kde would remember what was running and restart it for you "per default settings" [01:48] GHOST, cause you have saved the session with xchat opened, close xchat leave only the progs you want to autostart open and go to menu > system > prefs > session , 3rd tab , save session, do not autosave [01:48] !paste [01:48] !paste [01:48] 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) [01:48] Sorry Jack_Sparrow [01:48] (haha I beat you) [01:48] :) [01:48] Pelo ok ty [01:48] tacone: np but you are yelling at a bot... [01:48] hmmm, I'm installing ubuntu, it just froze at "Detecting Hardware, please wait..." [01:48] better go to sleep [01:48] what should I do? [01:48] Jack_Sparrow, don't worry about it , your comment was just over my head, remember I'm a pretty nooby helper [01:48] dagon^: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49516/ [01:49] Pelo: you do great.. [01:49] How would one change from GDM to KDE, by the by? [01:49] hey! merry xmas [01:49] * Pelo needs to stay up until at least 3AM, he's got a 20h to 4h shift tomorrow [01:49] Phophos: remove gdm and install kdm [01:49] wtf! [01:49] Phophos: GDM and KDE are different [01:49] anyone? [01:49] what should I do [01:49] hey guys, i got a weird problem. i dont see window borders (the top bar with the exit and maximize buttons). and also my terminal window is completely white [01:50] what could it be? [01:50] rainwalker: Yeah, I know they are :D Is it really that simple? [01:50] Phophos: install the second desktop and switch between them at the options section of you login screen [01:50] Phophos: I mean KDE and GDM have nothing to do with each other [01:50] sksol ur window manager must closed [01:50] does ubuntu have a resume install function? === angel is now known as cosmos81 [01:50] * bascule assumes Phophos meant kdm and not kde, perhaps wrongly [01:50] ghost, how can i turn it on? [01:51] Phophos: do you mean KDM? [01:51] sksol if its gnome install metacity [01:51] i want a transparent terminal, but not gnome-terminal (cause it doesnt work with the font called "fixed")... which one do you guys recommend? [01:51] i got compiz... [01:51] rainwalker: Erm. I thought I meant KDE. I'm talking about different window managers, correct? [01:51] yea, it is gnome, but i have compiz installed [01:51] sidewalk: opinions abound, Eterm is nice for me [01:51] sksol sry i dont no compiz :s [01:51] Phophos: do you mean KDE vs GNOME? [01:51] oh, eterm is still around? [01:51] gnome is k0.ol [01:52] sksol: try alt+f2 'nautilus --replace' [01:52] bascule: but Eterm isn't really transparent.. it shows the backgroundimage, but not other windows when the terminal is "on top" of them [01:52] yep [01:52] rainwalker; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Webcam [01:52] Phophos: GDM is the login thing [01:52] rainwalker; take a peak there, it might help [01:52] sidewalk: sure it does. You just need to tell fontconfig (via ~/.fonts.conf and dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config) to use bitmap fonts by default. [01:52] sidewalk: you need compiz for that trickery [01:52] sidewalk, really, none of the transparent terminals do that without compiz [01:52] sksol, you need to install and use emerald to use some themes, go and ask in #compiz-fusion they can tell you how to fix this quickly [01:52] dagon^: *clicks* [01:52] ok, thanks pelo! ill try that [01:52] :) [01:52] bascule: im using compiz [01:53] Pelo: It didn't work [01:53] rainwalker: Yep, I meant GNOME. Whoops. [01:53] rainwalker: KDE vs GNOME :) [01:53] crimsun: say what? [01:53] dagon^: should I try easycam before easycam2? [01:53] AimLXJ, paste bin the result of blkid please [01:53] Phophos: ok, that makes sense. so what are you trying to do? [01:53] * nickrud_ wonders why anyone really wants fixed anymore, anyway [01:53] sidewalk: hold down alt and spin the mousewheel === nickrud_ is now known as nickrud [01:53] rainwalker; woah, I don't know... since I've never had problems with my cam.. but try numero uno first [01:53] Pelo: Where do I get that? [01:53] AimLXJ, just type blkid in the terminal [01:53] rainwalker: I don't like GNOME, I reckon KDE's better, I want to change. Is it going to be impossible? [01:53] nickrud sorry, fixed what ? [01:54] Phophos, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [01:54] Phophos: not at all! what are you running? [01:54] sksol g0.od luck [01:54] intelikey, fixed font, it's a bitmapped font, rather than a ttf font [01:54] Phophos, I can get you a link to remove all the gnome packages if you want to [01:54] ah yeah. [01:54] Pelo: Thanks, as easy as that? [01:54] rainwalker: I'm running 7.10 at the minute. [01:55] yep [01:55] Phophos, restart x and chose a kubuntu session [01:55] Pelo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49517/ [01:55] didn't like the alt+scrollwheel sollution [01:55] crimsun: what about .fonts.conf? [01:55] sidewalk: you probably need to enable some plugins I have forgotten about, #comiz will know [01:55] Pelo, rainwalker: Thanks, I might try that when I get more crucial things working :D (Y) [01:55] sidewalk: cause that works here [01:55] AimLXJ, what is on the first partition on your computer ? [01:56] hello , what is the RDP server ? [01:56] I'm trying to get wireless working on a CLI install of Feisty. I'm using a BCM4318 and I have installed ndiswrapper from source. I can see wlan0 as my wireless card, and can see my access point with iwlist. How can I connect to it? [01:56] Pelo: I believe it's the system recovery [01:56] bascule: oh oh oh [01:56] Pelo: Because (hd0,0) started the system recovery but not Windows XP. [01:56] Pelo: I mean (hd0,1) [01:57] sidewalk: see http://www.outflux.net/blog/archives/2007/12/12/search-for-a-crisp-monospace-true-type-font/ [01:57] pelo :) [01:57] "Please insert the disk labeled: Ubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016) in drive /cdrom/" [01:57] why? [01:57] AimLXJ, fyi , sda1 = hd0,0 , sda2 = hd0,1, sda5 = hd0,4 , etc [01:57] Jack_Sparrow, I ddin't doubt you, I just didnT' think it was pertinent [01:57] rainwalker: Because there are packages on the Ubuntu CD. [01:58] hello , what is the RDP server ? [01:58] rainwalker, cause you have your install cd listed as a repos [01:58] rainwalker: you have the CD listed as a source in /etc/apt/sources.list [01:58] rainwalker: It saves bandwidth to have the files on CD rather than downloading again. [01:58] rainwalker; try this, read the last post -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205782 [01:58] Pelo: That's strange. [01:58] Pelo: Intuition.... no one could have known [01:58] AimLXJ, no that 's just the way grub lists the partitions [01:58] Jack_Sparrow, still doesn't solve the problem [01:59] crimsun: ill read that [01:59] Pelo: The system recovery is (hd0,0) but when I try to boot (hd0,1) it boots up the system recovery. [01:59] Thingus: why do I have to insert the cd when I'm installing via synaptic [02:00] AimLXJ, ok at this point I guess you are gonna have to do a trial and error fix [02:00] rainwalker: You have the CD listed in your /etc/apt/sources.list [02:00] rainwalker: just disable it a source in synaptic repos [02:00] ThePub: how do I change it so that it's not a source [02:00] Pelo: have him post output from fdisk -l to the pastebin [02:00] The CD acts as sort of a mini-repository containing packages that aren't installed with the default Ubuntu install. [02:00] Pelo: Okay, how do I do that? [02:01] rainwalker: open synaptic, go to repositories, uncheck the cd as a source, reload, bingo [02:01] ok I got it [02:01] On another note, I think Ubuntu should have an "Advanced Installation Method." That allows you to tune some extra features right from the installer. [02:01] yes like a default /home [02:01] However, one thing at a time. [02:01] AimLXJ, when you get to the grub menu and the entry does not work , go back to the menu, select the entry again and hit E for edit, select the root line and hit E for edit , change it to (hd0,2) and enter to dave , then B to boot, , if that doesn'T work , go back to the menu and try hd0,3 and so one , until you get one that works, those changes are not permanent and you will need to boot ubuntu and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst manualy t [02:01] o make them permanent [02:01] AimLXJ, any questions ? [02:02] I'm trying to get wireless working on a CLI install of Feisty. I'm using a BCM4318 and I have installed ndiswrapper from source. I can see wlan0 as my wireless card, and can see my access point with iwlist. How can I connect to it? [02:02] Pelo: I have tried that up to (hd0,5) and didn't seem to work [02:02] AimLXJ, join me in #grub please [02:02] Thingus: open AP? [02:02] bazhang: WEP [02:02] Should I open it up? [02:02] Pelo: Okay [02:03] Thingus: not really necessary--you want to do this via cli or gui [02:03] CLI, I don't have a DE on the machine in question. [02:03] hello [02:03] hey [02:03] I gots another question, I cant get the flashplayer-installer to work... [02:03] crimsun: seems like alot to do, just to change a font [02:03] thingus, just a minute let me get you a link [02:03] whats up with that? [02:04] sterling: see topic [02:04] sterling: /topic [02:04] hmm =D [02:04] i accidently pressed del key in nautilus =D [02:04] is it thrown to the trash then? [02:04] i've always shift+deleted and get the popup =D [02:04] I have http://pastebin.ca/831542 that setup in /etc/network/interfaces but it doesn't work. Is there more I should need to do to get it up and running? If I enter everything in by hand using iwconfig, ifconfig and route things work fine.. but not using interfaces. Can someone suggest a place to look for further information on how to make it work properly? [02:05] Hi everyone. I'm messing with EasyBCD to set up ubuntu on the Vista bootloader (for dual boot). Followed a few different instruction sets I've found online but it still won't boot. Anyone familiar with this? [02:05] oh, I love snus <3 [02:05] argh this is getting so annoyin to a point where i wanna stab my computer in multiple places at once. i keep dropping off the internet! nothing ive tried has worked. i cant even update the comptuer cause it keeps dropping off.. sigh *sorry for the rant* [02:06] fsanlu: do 'lspci | grep Network' [02:06] you're sure it's not your ISP? :) [02:07] hi everybody [02:07] snus is like the greatest thing after linux :> [02:07] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo Thingus this should do it scroll down a bit [02:08] I downloaded the package.... [02:08] is there a way to restall 7.10 [02:08] ThePub take down the interface, then bring it back up so it is all configured via interfaces. Then check 'route -n' and make sure that the routes are being defined per interfaces. Also, check iwconfig and ifconfig and make sure all that info is being passed properly as well. If it works when you define it manually, then it is just a matter of figuring out what isn't being auto-defined [02:08] reinstall [02:08] I downloaded the package, but cant figure out how to search for it in ADD/REMOVE [02:08] ironfoot; if you got the CD then no problems [02:08] ironfoot: you have the live cd? [02:08] anyine else having problems getting a new ipod nano to work ? [02:08] thor: which is the oddball. it all LOOKS the same :) [02:08] magicrobotmonkey: currently does not work with linux [02:09] I have a NFS mount point and I would like to have a king of common trash. Is it possible ? I also would like that user who write on this directory have automaticly the RW-RW---- permissions but always RW-- --- --- in their home. Is it possible to have a different umask depending of the place where they write their files ? [02:09] no hacks for it? [02:09] fsanlu: You may try this in your browser.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=529698 [02:09] magicrobotmonkey: as of yet no [02:09] ThePub the only other possible data that might not be defined correctly is in /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf...check those as well. [02:09] yes I do but for some reason it would not let me do it? [02:09] thor: those have nothing to do with routing though. [02:09] ok, thanks, bazhang [02:09] ironfoot: describe in more detail please [02:10] magicrobotmonkey: no worries [02:10] bazhang:I s there some command that I missed? [02:10] Thingus what was that command? sorry i dropped off again [02:10] fsanlu: You may want to try this in your browser.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=529698 [02:10] ThePub well...yes and no. If resolv.conf is not being defined correctly then there will be no dns lookup...which could appear to be a routing issue [02:10] ironfoot: you have the livecd in and running, and then hit install? [02:10] i removed my windows drive(it had grub on it) and no i cannot load my ubuntu drive, it says "OS failed to load", how do i fix this? [02:10] now* [02:10] !grub [02:10] 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 [02:10] see above Wolvenhaven [02:10] ThePub and checking /etc/hosts is just something I always do since I am there checking resolv.conf anyway [02:11] Well when I put in the CD IT asked do I want to install and I said yes then It asked for the time zone and it wouldn't go any farther. [02:11] I downloaded the package for Adobe, but cant figure out how to search for it in ADD/REMOVE [02:11] thor: nah, that's name lookup. using interfaces I'm unable to ping the gateway. I'm able to by hand and they appear the same. I'm not even worried about looking up names atm. [02:11] ironfoot; maybe you burned the CD too fast? [02:11] hey Thingus what was that lpsci command you wanted me to try? [02:11] sterling: It doesnt work like that [02:11] it possible I guess what is a good speed? [02:11] ironfoot: the cd may have been damaged try burning a new one [02:11] ThePub ah ok...didn't catch the reference to pinging the gw [02:11] ok [02:12] thanx [02:12] anyone got a sec? I'm new to linux and am curious about IRC alternatives. [02:12] ironfoot: also check the md5 sum [02:12] !forums [02:12] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [02:12] see above obnockshus [02:12] !xmas [02:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about xmas - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:12] ThePub when it fails, if you 'watch ifconfig' and in a second terminal try the ping, you should see the outgoing packet count increment...if it is sending out the ping [02:12] ty baz [02:12] fsanlu: 'lspci | grep Network' [02:13] np obnockshus [02:13] obnockshus: There are several, xchat, xchat-gnome, konversation [02:13] irssi for those less graphically inclined :) [02:13] any linux software that supports ipod nano (gen 3) yet? { rhythmbox/standard ipod libs on ubuntu dont support it } === fsanlu_ is now known as fsanlu [02:14] xtknight: the latest you mean? [02:14] bazhang, latest nano? i think. latest ubuntu? gutsy here [02:14] Thingus: okay i ran that and it just said network controller: broadcam copr bcm94311 wlan mini-PCI [02:14] xtknight: Careful hacking the ipods, I would hate to see you brick it [02:14] xtknight: latest nano? not right now [02:14] How do I burn VCDs from .mpg files? [02:14] Jack_Sparrow, well last thing i tried i ended up Resetting via iTunes on the authorized windows machine and it was ifne [02:15] fsanlu: Do you use the wireless or wired network? [02:15] xtknight: Just wanted to give a word of caution on doing that. [02:15] xtknight: locked out for now [02:15] bazhang, ahh [02:15] Thingus: the wireless.. it gets me connected for awhile.. then bam it disconnects and sometimes it reconnects but sometimes it doesnt [02:15] Jack_Sparrow, ya i might just hook it up to my VM thru usb [02:15] I'm looking for something/someone that can help with Xchat or point me to a better irc. any tips? [02:15] maybe this'll work better [02:16] Thingus: i dont know if this helps but when i installed ubuntu the card was disabled and i had to enbale the restricted firmware to get it to run [02:16] Lunks found a number of links to howtos and such...google 'create vcd from avi in linux' [02:16] !pidgin | obnockshus [02:16] obnockshus: pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It is available in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but not previous versions. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0 [02:16] is there a quick way to share an internet connection? [02:16] bazhang, have they had good luck hacking previous ones? reasonable to expect linux hack in a few months or is there some completely new scheme? [02:17] Jack_sparrow, see PM please [02:17] will pidgin run on feisty? [02:17] obnockshus: You are looking for irc clients right. [02:17] sterling: sure.. briefly [02:17] is it possible to have different umask depending the place where we write on the file system ? [02:17] thor: it's from an mpg (even less work), but I'd like to know if there's any tool which can do it nicely, like k3b [02:17] yes, sparrow [02:17] looks like a package is missing [02:17] fsanlu: what sort of signal strength are you getting? [02:17] Lunks: you can try Tovid [02:17] irc:// [02:17] obnockshus - gaim may be pre-installed on feisty, pidgin is the new name. Yes, it should be fine [02:17] ~60% [02:17] Lunks http://muhdzamri.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-to-make-vcd-with-k3b-using-linux.html [02:18] Lunks: you can use vcdimager to create an iso and k3b would definitely be able to burn that :) [02:18] how do you hibernate? [02:18] xtknight: the vm fix is best for now--surely there will be a workaround eventually--btw I use my mini with no problems at all--the new nano has special features to lock non-itunes (read linux) out of it [02:18] Jack_Sparrow see pm please. [02:18] gaim seems to be an IM. I'm looking for IRC [02:18] irc://66.252.27.217/crimelifeonline [02:18] RequinB4: What does IM have to do with his question on IRC CLients [02:18] Lunks I think ffmpeg will also do mpeg input files [02:18] obnockshus: it does that and other things [02:18] bazhang, ahh cool [02:18] sterling: I dont see it [02:18] xtknight: Are you have iPod issues? [02:18] khisanth: what the weird thing is... the other laptops and dekstops dont get cut off (they are in windows) and i have another laptop almost identical to this one in vista that doesnt get dc'ed so im surei ts not the router/isp its me [02:18] Jack_Sparrow obnockshus you can IRC with it [02:18] sterling: Ask in channel [02:18] Thingus, with linux? yeah. linux doesnt support the ipod nano 3rd gen yet [02:18] Khisanth: that should be vcd imager. :) thank you [02:19] thor: thank you, too! [02:19] really? Does it act like an actual IRC? [02:19] fsanlu: I doubt you have all those stacked on top of each other and even then ... :) [02:19] And merry xmas everyone! [02:19] can you hibernate in ubuntu? [02:19] I was wondering how I open the package that I downloaded [02:19] i was thinking maybe some experimental libipod would support it or something [02:19] I have two .iso files: test1.iso and test2.iso. How do I burn this isos in _one_ dvd? [02:19] but i dont want to destroy it :\ [02:19] zaxius - Hit the green guy running [02:19] I thought that there was a patch for libgpod, or something like that... [02:19] since you said I could not open it. [02:19] Thingus, ya i saw it too [02:19] im afraid of breaking it though [02:19] RequinB4, is that a joke? [02:19] khisanth: haha but yah.. its just me that always gets dropped off every ~10 minutes or so.. im not sure what it is [02:19] my desktop applets are broke, wont load, and when i logon to gnome my background and desktop icons are gone i have to alt+f2 and run nautilus to get it back how can i fix this ? [02:19] zaxius - no [02:19] RequinB4: Thanks, I have used pidgin, but never seen it used for irc.. I will check it out.. thanks [02:19] RequinB4, i don't know what you mean then [02:20] applications says "gaim internet messenger" [02:20] sterling: Are you trying to manually install flash? [02:20] zaxius - what version do you have [02:20] RequinB4, feisty [02:20] I downloaded the package... so yah [02:20] zaxius - go to the button on the far right that looks like a door iirc (on gutsy its a green guy) [02:20] sterling: /j #Voyager I will give you the easy way.. you are using Firefox right.. not opera or another? [02:21] devede for creating vcds from mpeg Lunks [02:21] bazhang, i actually did have luck downloading my songs and playing them on the pc though [02:21] zaxius - it should give you unboot options ie hibernate, suspend, shut down, restart [02:21] xtknight: from the nano? [02:21] bazhang, correct , thru rhythmbox [02:21] i'm not running gnome [02:21] is it possible im dropping off cause im using WPA? juts a thought. [02:21] i'm running...xgl? [02:21] it's uploading that probably doesnt work. and somehow my ipod got wiped after my experiments [02:22] what's it called [02:22] i think i syncd it blank [02:22] Okay, so ALSA can play sound through my speakers, but for some reason no programmes that want to use ALSA can. [02:22] zaxius - -.- have you tried pressing the power button [02:22] /j #Voyager [02:22] xtknight: then that would be earlier than the newest nano--just dont update the firmware and you should be okay--I use mine with amarok no problem [02:22] networking problems, i need help [02:22] RequinB4, no but how would i know if it's hibernating or suspended? [02:22] Hi everyone :) [02:22] Phophos, how do you figure this? [02:22] bazhang, ahh so it's the FW that matters [02:22] this is my first test drive on Linux [02:22] no idea what this one is [02:23] Hello Joelito, welcome to ubuntu [02:23] Joelito: welcome [02:23] welcome Joelito [02:23] zaxius - i'm sorry, i'm confused as to what your question is and where you are, my bad O.o [02:23] thanks thanks :) [02:23] i have a comcast connection w/one network link... i bought a router and want to know how to connect it [02:23] xtknight: if it is blank, then it's not really, but that is the new hash sum reporting it is to prevent us non itunes-ers from doing I dont know what [02:23] I have a fews questions about it, anyone have a little spare time? [02:23] Hi, I am trying to install ubuntu on a raid 1 system and I'm having a problem. On the prepare disk space I click manual then I see 4 options /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdc1 <-this one is not my raid drive and I'm not sure what the other three are. [02:23] RequinB4, i'm on a laptop, hibernate = save state to memory and completely power off, suspend/standby = low power state. [02:23] RequinB4, but i'll give that a shot [02:24] Joelito; shoot :) [02:24] judgement is it a wireless router? [02:24] xtknight: It will play sounds through aplay, but if I try any GUIs like Totem or amaroK it will play, but no sound will come out [02:24] bazhang, well actually it was blank when i turned on the ipod (ipod itself saw nothing). either that or the hash was broken/invlaidated. something happened though that preventing me from syncing [02:24] Hey I was curious, I can boot Ubuntu with Windows Vista bootloader correct? [02:24] xtknight: Oh, and thanks for helping out (Y) [02:24] anyone got the Shadowfire server info? [02:24] Solved it. Removed the tabs from the file.] [02:24] Phophos, both of those use gstreamer, not necessarily alsa. checked gstreamer options? [02:24] xtknight: yeah, google new nano linux and you will see what is up with that [02:24] hey... need 2 ask , is unmount Hard disk do the same as safe remove? [02:24] zaxius - Yes, i am on a laptop as well. You can acess the GUI hybernate by going to your shut down menu. For me, i press the button that looks like a log out or a guy running or something. Or, i can press the power button. [02:25] obnockshus: no.. it is just a regular router w/4 connectors + printer connections [02:25] xtknight: Yep, how? [02:25] amerio, yes exactly [02:25] amerio, unmount syncs to disk [02:25] k thanks man, i'll give it a shot. [02:25] hey, i have a hidden partition, its fat 32, how do i mount it? [02:25] amerio, unmount is "eject" in nautilus [02:25] judgement, ask comcast [02:25] I dont' remember who I was going back and forth with. Whomever you were, the interfaces man isn't right apparently :( [02:25] judgement, you are paying them [02:25] unmount is eject in BASH [02:25] xtknight: but in windows remove safe , my hdd turns off , but when I make unmount here it doesnt turn off [02:26] judgement, it didn't connect after loading linux? [02:26] http://www.boingboing.net/2007/09/14/new-ipods-reengineer.html xtknight [02:26] Phophos, gksu gstreamer-properties [02:26] boo - to mount a hard drive just go to nautlius and right click mount [02:26] bazhang, thx [02:26] no worries :} [02:26] I use comcast and am having zero issues [02:26] amerio, hmm that's a little odd. not sure exactly what is going on there [02:27] boo: mount -a [02:27] thanks [02:27] amerio, maybe safe remove in windows is actually removing it from usb node [02:27] didnt tihnk it did that [02:27] obnockshus: i have to connect the comcast router to this new router b/c there is no cable connectors on this router [02:27] it makes sense though [02:27] xtknight: but there is no turn off button on my HDD , suppose 2 turn off auto. [02:27] whats a good music program? [02:27] xtknight: Right, that ... worked, I think. [02:27] amerio, well usb is a source of power [02:27] Rufus_: amaroK [02:27] does raid work with ubuntu? [02:28] amerio, im not sure how to tell linux to remove power [02:28] i guess unmounting is not th same [02:28] is kaffiene good? [02:28] there is only one connector on the comcast router. i don't know why that is tho [02:28] Rufus_; xmms [02:28] Rufus_: yes [02:28] xtknight : unmount is 100% safe? [02:28] that's a comcast wall you're dealing with. you will need their direction [02:28] krimezz, yes with problems though [02:28] amerio, data-wise? yes. it synchronizes buffer to disk [02:28] Phophos, test "Default Output" here [02:29] xtknight: well thanx =) if my hdd got burnt u'll get me a new one :) [02:29] amerio, hehe certainly [02:29] judgement, ask comcast, after all, you are paying them [02:29] xtknight: thanx , merry christmas [02:29] same ^ [02:29] good night all and merry christmas [02:29] so would I be better off installing to a non raid drive or try a different distro? [02:29] Judgement, NKen is right. Let comcast deal with it. [02:29] xtknight: It crashed. I clicked the input thing and it didn't like it. [02:29] NKen: okay, anyways ubuntu rocks! [02:30] my desktop applets are broke, wont load, and when i logon to gnome my background and desktop icons are gone i have to alt+f2 and run nautilus to get it back how can i fix this ? [02:30] Phophos, it crashed upon testing Output, or upon testing Input ? [02:30] lemme see if comcast have a chatline [02:30] lol judgement. Yes it does [02:30] they do - it's web-based [02:30] krimezz, i would take one of those options [02:30] xtknight: On Input. I think I expected that, that's probably an unrelated problem at the minute. What's it's friendly process name? [02:30] * obnockshus is never going back to windows [02:30] do you know a good distro that plays well with raid? [02:30] !raid [02:30] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [02:30] thanks btw [02:31] krimezz, ubuntu will work but you have to read the forums. try searching for your specific problem. [02:31] krimezz: fakeraid? [02:31] Phophos, sudo killall gstreamer-properties [02:31] I have a hidden partition, how can I unhide it [02:31] boo, gksu gparted [02:31] bazhang: fakeraid? [02:31] krimezz: software raid [02:31] hmm [02:32] i thought fakeraid was the pseudo-HW controllers? [02:32] xtknight: Default Output is now making a stuttering beeping noise [02:32] its 2 raptor hd's and the raid is on the motherboard [02:32] xtknight, i can't do it from there [02:32] ok... how difficult is it to run mirc in linux through wine? [02:32] krimezz: ahh hardware then --real raid :} [02:32] obnockshus: Do you really need to, or can you use XChat? [02:32] when i try to install amarok, it asks for a cd? [02:33] boo, manage flags on the partition [02:33] how do I play wmv in ubuntu? I've tried apt-getting a couple apps I read about, but they're not in the repos. There's got to be one... or a codec for something I already have? [02:33] boo, uncheck Hidden [02:33] why? [02:33] is there a tutorial on how to boot an iso image located on my hd? [02:33] Rufus_: Did you install from the Gutsy CD? [02:33] I have a question that I have read about on some ubuntu blogs. when i log into my ubuntu box my delete/backspace key does not delete backwards when i launch Irssi. it works normally until then. does anyone know of a fix for this? it is really annoying. [02:33] obnockshus, why run mirc? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=90073 [02:33] boo, right click->manage flags [02:33] krimezz: Many onboard raid are fakeraid.... [02:33] phophos, no, i got from add/remove programs [02:33] Rufus_: open synaptic and disable cd as software source [02:33] craigbass1976; VLC [02:33] Phophos, it didnt do this before? what changeD [02:33] I'm using Xchat now. Can't figure out how to make it run like my mirc ran. Alias, remotes etc... [02:33] Rufus_: Sorry, didn't clarify. Did you install Ubuntu from CD? [02:34] yes [02:34] chickendinnerwin, look in /etc/fstab and make a line that looks like one of the booting ones there. /dev/xxx will be different, and the filesystem type will be iso9660 or some such, I think [02:34] test-installation [02:34] jack_sparrow: how do I find out what I am [02:34] craigbass1976, vlc (VideoLan CLIENT) or mplayer [02:34] obnockshus, read manuals [02:34] xtknight, its not hidden in gparted, but it is elsewhere [02:34] obnockshus, its easy [02:34] and what does lba mean? [02:34] xtknight: It wasn't making any noise before, this is a good sign. I don't think anything changed but I changed the stuff in the drop down menu from Auto to Default to Auto again [02:34] craigbass1976, i think for WMA3 audio you may need w32codecs [02:34] krimezz: read that link and identify for hardware [02:34] where are the manuals? [02:34] boo, large block addressing [02:34] boo, not really sure other than that ;) [02:34] can i theme the bars at the top and bottom of my desktop? [02:35] ub=nder "help"? [02:35] so, what do i do? [02:35] boo, you can right click the partition in GPARTED, click Manage Flags, and uncheck hidden , right? [02:35] Criminy... I wish my wife's friends would wise up and send open format video attachments... [02:35] craigbass1976, im a beginner so i dont think ill be able to figure it out like that [02:35] xtknight: Sorry, not Defalt but ALSA [02:35] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=447913 x-X-x [02:35] http://forum.xchat.org/ [02:35] Phophos, so it works now? [02:35] i was curious if there was a tutorial or a discussion on the internet i could read along with [02:35] *under [02:35] RequinB4, didn't work, maybe cuz i'm running wubi. [02:35] x-X-x, sorta, right click and select properties [02:35] Rufus_: System > Administration > Software Sources [02:35] RequinB4, it just hung with a flashing cursor in the corner of the screen. [02:35] obnockshus, http://forum.xchat.org/ [02:35] Phophos, probably a bug, i dont know. [02:35] yes? [02:35] search [02:35] lol. I keep thinking .com [02:35] ok i have an odd recovery type partition, how can i tell if its bootable? [02:35] Rufus_: Uncheck CDROM [02:36] chickendinnerwin, Stop it. go to rafb.net/paste and paste the contents of /etc/fstab there I'll see if I can give you a hand. I've never booted off an iso located off the hard drive though, but it should be the same as booting off a cd [02:36] okay [02:36] xtknight: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's working now, Kopete is making irritating noises [02:36] boo, dump the boot sector ? [02:36] chickendinnerwin, your days of "I can't do it" are OVER dude. In Linux, you CAN!!! [02:36] boo, sudo dd if=/dev/hdx | strings | less [02:36] xtknight: And now amaroK is playing, erm, definitely not Korn, so all is good [02:37] boo, then if you see boot code/error msg strings in the first few lines probably [02:37] boo, make sure it's "dd if" not "dd of"... [02:37] "of" is output, that can overwrite stuff [02:37] craigbass1976, i dont have ubuntu up and running yet. im still on xp and i dont have any blank discs lying around right now [02:37] chickendinnerwin, it is Christmas eve though, so I'll be switching between breaks from wrapping and helping you :) [02:37] so i dont have an fstab [02:38] haha, i have no idea what that means. im having problems booting windows, i think a hidden partition was initially flagged as boot, but grub changed it. im trying to tell by the files within the drive if its bootable [02:38] chickendinnerwin, Ahh, then you might be out of luck. I have no idea how to tell windows to boot of something other than windows. I don't think windows allows it really; probably why GRUB needs to be installed. [02:38] you can check the partition table for that [02:38] chickendinnerwin, you think you're getting some cds for XMAS? [02:38] Right. Now for a completely unrelated problem. Why doesn't my microphone work? [02:38] Phophos, this can be more tough to get working [02:39] Phophos, and now for something completely different... is that Monty Python? [02:39] Phophos, might need to mess with Switches in the GNOME mixer applet. but they are labeled differently for every sound card!! [02:39] wheei, works fine now [02:39] craigbass1976, ive done it before with another distro (sidux) you just need a working grub (ie any live cd with grub on it) [02:39] xtknight: Tell me about it. I think I broke my sound when I tried to fix my mic. Yes, that's Monty Python already. [02:39] but certain things i imagine require a different setting or two [02:40] xtknight, how do i tell if its boot code? [02:40] chickendinnerwin, Ahh, not sure. I didn't mess around too much. Played with a couple live cds, then switched over when Fedora1 came out [02:40] boo, do you know the block device? [02:40] boo, /dev/sda1 or etc.. [02:40] yeah, its /dev/sda6 [02:41] oddly, i don't have a /dev/sda4 though [02:41] boo, probably extended partition [02:41] xtknight: I'll try playing with the switches, but when I tried Default Input on gstreamer-properties it crashed horribly [02:41] no, extended is 3 [02:41] but within that is 5 and 6 [02:41] hmm [02:41] this is in gparted [02:41] boo, "sudo dd if=/dev/sda6 | strings | less" [02:41] but when i do fdisk -l, i see 4 and 6 as the same [02:42] boo, this should allow you to see some text. if you see error message strings then it probably has a boot sector [02:42] !wordpress [02:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about wordpress - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:42] boo, like "BOOTMGR is missing" or anything with "boot" in it. it just dumps the contents of the whole boot program [02:42] xtknight, nothing comes up [02:42] boo, hmm [02:42] craigbass1976, ill play around. in sidux i need to have two files in the same directory as the iso. vmlinuz and initrd. any idea if i need those too? [02:43] boo, "sudo dd if=/dev/sda6 count=512 bs=1 | strings" [02:43] xtknight, my mbr/partition table has taken some serious beating [02:43] When I plug my SD memory card into my pc, If I try and delete pics, I'll unplug the card and put it back on and they are still there. I don't know if they are actually deleted and ubuntu is still showing them or what...any ideas? [02:44] ok [02:44] i see "boot disk failure" as the last line [02:44] good thing comcast did help... no bots like microsoft chat help! lol! [02:44] boo, pretty sure it prolly has a boot sector on it [02:44] u just chainloader it from grub i think [02:44] ok [02:44] wait [02:44] sda6 is (hd0,5) in grub [02:45] do i flag that partition as boot in gparted, or do i set it to boot in grub [02:45] i dont think boot even matters actually [02:45] i dont know though [02:45] i tried hd0,5 in grub and nothing happened [02:45] boo, chainload and all? [02:45] yeah [02:45] hmm [02:45] at least i think i did, i could try again [02:46] this is a uni laptop, so there was preloaded stuff (like this partition [02:46] boo, i'd just google recovery partition and grub [02:46] might need special cmds [02:46] xtknight: Thanks for your help with gstreamer, is there anything else you could suggest for my microphone? [02:46] boo, at least this is for thinkpads maybe http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-46088.html [02:47] boo, has some helpful grub info [02:47] boo, maybe grub recognizes sda6 not as hd0,5 but something else? i dont know why it would though [02:47] boo: Also look at booting your Windows cd / recovery mode and fixmbr to get back into windows, then you can always fix grub to see ubuntu [02:47] hey guys, how do i map my media keys on my laptop to do custom commands? [02:47] fixmbr and fixboot doesnt do anything [02:48] boo: Also look at uuid in your grub [02:48] ive tried [02:48] This has nothing to do with relating to everything, but i hate services that assume you have windows and don't tell you until you get the .exe file! [/rant] [02:48] whats uuid [02:48] skso1, system preferences keybaord shortcuts allows u to do some. otherwise, gconf-editor can do custom commands [02:48] !uuid [02:48] 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) [02:48] skso1, you'll have to find the gconf key if you want to do custom ones [02:48] i have the keys [02:48] Phophos, hmm [02:48] Whats the pro screenshot program [02:48] Phophos, well open the gnome mixer applet [02:48] terminal based [02:48] oh wow this might work [02:48] so is it a built in package? the gconf-editor? [02:49] skso1, yea [02:49] hiding hd0,0 and unhiding hd0,5 [02:49] skso1, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/assign-custom-shortcut-keys-on-ubuntu-linux/ [02:49] xtknight: I killed that when I was fixing ALSA, how do I invoke it? [02:49] goodnight all [02:49] gnight Jack_Sparrow [02:49] heh, thanks [02:49] Phophos, gnome-volume-control [02:50] Jack_Sparrow - good night, and merry christmas [02:50] i installed automatix.. and i tried installing the flash-plugin and it didnt work.. how do i uninstall automatix? [02:50] * xtknight got coal for xmas [02:50] xtknight, how lucky you can barbecue now [02:50] because it doesnt show upi n the add/remove place [02:50] xtknight: Okay, got it [02:50] mmm :) [02:50] fsanlu: then you are in deep trouble--automatix breaks things and is not supported here [02:50] Anyone using fluxbox on ubuntu? [02:51] bazhang: i wanna delete it! how do i uninstall it? [02:51] phlux: used it [02:51] * Pelo is in an out making pork stew atm [02:51] * RequinB4 steals some of Pelo's stew [02:51] bazhang: So it IS possible to install other WMs on Ubuntu? [02:51] fsanlu: ask in their channel [02:51] Phophos, all i can suggest is Edit->Preferences, enable all the options, then mess with them [02:51] phlux, I know several ppl do , but that's all [02:51] phlux: not currently but I was up until a week ago :) [02:51] phlux: oh yes :} [02:51] pft [02:51] * Pelo thinks RequinB4 is gonna have indigestions from the half cooked stew [02:51] Phophos, in edit preferences you just enable their visibility. then click OK and mess with the options that later appear in the applet thru the tabs [02:52] My brother was telling me that if you used ubuntu you HAD to use Gnome [02:52] phlux, false [02:52] Pelo: haha [02:52] I'm swapping from FreeBSD to Linux on my new laptop...so I'm a new Linux user here...technically. [02:52] you can even use KDE on ubuntu without having Kubuntu [02:52] xtknight: Thanks. They were all enabled already because I always have trouble on a new installation with this soundcard. [02:52] phlux: ever heard of gOS? [02:52] phlux, ubuntu comes with gnome, kubuntu comes with kde, xubuntu with xfce , and blubuntu with bluebox [02:52] I've got Vista on here as a primary partition. Will that be a problem? [02:52] Pelo - It's ok, i've had worse [02:52] bazhang: Nope..what's that? [02:52] phlux, no problem [02:52] phlux, i had vista also [02:53] phlux: enlightenment on top of ubuntu [02:53] phlux: works for me [02:53] xtknight, sorry to hear about that, is there anything the doctors can do ?

[02:56] bazhang: i dont think i damged anything... it doesnt seem like anything is wrong for now so its not that bad [02:56] ML r u here??? [02:57] fsanlu: back up all your stuff [02:57] I could use some help... After i installed the restricted nvidia (new) drivers, my sound stopped working. (Audigy 4, worked fine until i restarted after enabling the nvidia driver) [02:57] I'm jere [02:57] xtknight: Not yet. I've been given a walkthough by #alsa [02:57] !u | wayniwoo [02:57] wayniwoo: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun.

[02:58] bazhang: this is just a fresh intsall of ubuntu... im just setting things up.. so i odnt have any data here [02:58] rainwalker; mine is set to standard [02:58] hi there, can someone help me out with a wine issue? [02:58] dagon^: what is standard? [02:58] fsanlu: tread very carefully; it likely has compromised your system [02:58] rainwalker; no idea but it works for me =/ [02:58] I'm trying to install office 2003, and it gives me an error, saying that office isn't installed for the current user. [02:59] Hey wayni [02:59] terraNova, depends on the issue the channel for wine is #winehq, if your issues has nothing to do with ubuntu, but try asking here anyway [02:59] Mistylady: please cut it out [02:59] dagon^: what port? [02:59] Misty, lets go back... [02:59] I did consult the wine site and it said that it is a normal error, and to downgrade wine to 0.9.37 then upgrade, and it'll work [02:59] ok [02:59] fsanlu: may as well do a fresh install without automatix--not needed at all anymore [02:59] but I can't downgrade it to below 0.9.42 [02:59] and that doesn't fix it [03:00] rainwalker; standard is 1863 [03:00] is it a good idea to create seperate partitions for /boot /root and /swap .. also thanks jack_sparrow.. I'm getting closer [03:00] terraNova, I would ask in #winehq [03:00] okay [03:00] thanks [03:00] krimezz: dont forget /home :} [03:00] (logical partitions) [03:01] bazhang:I have a 10gb partition any suggestions on how to devide them? [03:01] I have 7.04 installed and I have the 7.10 cd is there a way to upgrade via the cd? [03:01] ugarit, if you ahve the dvd or the alternate intall cd, yes [03:01] !upgrade > ugarit check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu === basti is now known as BassT [03:02] Hey , I installed Java 6 through the Synaptic Package Manager , but when I started to use java , an error occurred like this : . Any idea ? [03:02] krimezz: the advantage to /home is you can then install again and data is not lost [03:02] xtknight, I managed to boot into the recovery partition [03:02] is it possible that I would need chainloader +2? [03:02] i have a problem [03:02] ask away jing_ [03:03] jing_, we need a question [03:03] after I type "export DISPLAY=192.168.0.101:0" [03:03] hey Pelo I booted into the recovery partition. [03:03] I have a semi-ubuntu related question(bash me if i'm too off topic). I'm thinking of a web site that will work like google docs to share/edit text files, then be able to compile them in various languages. Would this be something I could do on a third party hosting system or would i need my own apache server? [03:03] boo, if that is the case that might be the answer aimxl needed [03:03] and then I type xhost + [03:04] "xterm" can not display in my computer "192.168.0.101" [03:04] is there anybody know why? [03:04] jing_, I think the syntax is export DISPLAY=:192.168.0.101 [03:04] RequinB4: well some hosting will allow root access to a machine so go for your life, others won't, depends on the hosting service you can hire really [03:04] bazhang: so what kind of space should /home /boot /root and /swap have allocated for them? [03:05] !enter | jing_ [03:05] jing_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:05] to Pelo, thanks , i am trying.... [03:05] et [03:05] where is the alternate cd? [03:05] bascule - so i definitly need root access? [03:05] ce_imoet [03:05] I'm in the conceptural phase [03:06] ugarit, you can get it on the ubuntu site, jsut select as you would for your regular cd and check the alternate cd box just bellow the download now button [03:06] Pelo, do you know if chainloader +2 might help? [03:06] boo, no idea [03:06] RequinB4: only if you need complete control over everything [03:06] RequinB4: it al depends, but I have never developed a web app, so not the best placed to advise, many things can be done wothout root [03:06] boo, try it, it can'T hurt any [03:06] krimezz: the swap question is a hotly contested one; some say twice ram, others disagree--most for /home and enough for the install plus whatever packages you want to install for / and /boot can be very small iirc [03:06] to Pelo, I use the command "export DISPLAY=:192.168.0.101", and I still have a wrong result "xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :192.168.0.101" [03:07] Khisanth bascule - well, hopefully i wouldn't have to write the back-end stuff myself, just organize it all into a page and get rid of the human element that is currently needed [03:07] at some point 2x RAM stops making sense [03:07] jing_, where is this suppose to display to ? and why are you using an ip ? [03:07] Khisanth: agreed, above 2gb swap is pointless, unless you are doing huge images [03:07] Khisanth: so 6GB for swap is overkill? [03:08] 6gb swap is way overkill. :) [03:08] bazhang: ludicrous [03:08] 6GB is overkill no matter how much RAM you have [03:08] bazhang: we had this discussion earlier - I have 8 GB and I was told it was too much =) [03:08] of course dosetn the suspend feature - use the swap partition? [03:08] bascule: I thought so--but too late now haha [03:08] bazhang: 6GB is a lot of swap, alright! [03:08] is there an x app to monitor hardware? temps and such.. [03:08] kyu_flux: ah so :} [03:09] Phophos: hotly contested desu-ka? :} [03:09] hey, could a partition being primary/boot/logical affect its ability to be booted? [03:09] boo, ive seenit affect windows.. but not linux. [03:09] Dr_willis: a good point, maybe have 1.25*ram on one swap and a sensible amount for usual swap on another [03:09] boo, that is what I was starting to think earlier but it's realy over my head [03:09] cua0: sensors [03:09] Dr_willis, my problem is with windows, can you tell me anything about it? [03:09] boo: not by grub [03:09] if it gets to the point where you are using more than 1GB of swapp and probably before that, in most cases your system won't be very usable anyway [03:10] I have never understood how a system can suspend and use swap to suspend to.. what if swap was being used.. where did it suspend to... [03:10] Khisanth: I saw a solaris machine with >1000 days uptime, 512MB and 3GB swapped out [03:10] I have 2gb ram so 2gb swap should be more than enough? [03:10] alright, originally, my computer booted straight to windows, but there was a 2 sec thing that said (to boot recovery partition, press f11), then when i installed ubuntu, i couldn't boot windows [03:10] sorry for launching this offtopic-fest! [03:10] Hello. I'm running Xgl [Xgl :3 -accel xv:pbuffer -accel glx:pbuffer -nolisten tcp -fullscreen -br +xinerama [03:10] and Xgl segfaults when I run something like glxgears [03:11] Khisanth: averaged 30 logged in users [03:11] bazhang: was that a desktop? :) [03:11] X dies and restarts [03:11] Khisanth: it is a desktop! :} [03:11] hi [03:11] any ideas on how I might fix this problem? [03:11] hi gurby [03:11] hello gurby [03:11] boo: windows cannot be booted? grub problem? [03:12] yeah [03:12] boo yeah to both? [03:12] its a grub problem but no one in #grub knows how to help (or noone is therE) [03:12] yeah to both [03:12] boo which was installed first? [03:12] hello [03:12] boo want a link? [03:12] windows came preinstalled with its own recovery partition [03:12] sure [03:13] http://apcmag.com/6101/dualboot_windows_xp_and_ubuntu boo [03:13] Dr_willis, that's why swap needs to be BIG [03:13] this isn't a normal problem [03:13] gurby we need a question to help you [03:14] is telling grub to boot a partition and setting the partition as bootable the same thing? [03:14] boo none of them are; thus the moniker 'problem' :} === toni_ is now known as ce_imoet [03:14] :P [03:15] boo is windows listed in grub menu? [03:15] hi [03:15] yes [03:15] hi ce_imoet [03:15] hi ce_imoet [03:15] hi [03:15] originally, i booted to windows and got a BSOD [03:15] boo and it refuses to boot? [03:15] then i did fixboot/fixmbr and igot NTLDR is missing [03:15] To Pelo, I use the "putty" to connect an UNIX(HPUX) from an PC(Ubuntu 7.10) via network, andnow i want to display the xterm in my PC, so ,i type "export DISPLAY=192.168.0.101:0" in the UNIX, type "xhost + " in my PC, and then type "xterm &" in UNIX(HPUX), however it can not work, My PC's IP is 192.168.0.101, and i am sure that i do not type the incorrect word, i don't know why it can't work in Ubuntu, it work very well in RedHat and Mandriva [03:15] what [03:15] now i just get a blinking underscore [03:15] what are you doing? [03:15] boo: what file, ntfs.sys? (on that bsod) [03:16] boo hmm problem with windows,, that is something new I think [03:16] ce_imoet: this is a support channel [03:16] i could read the bsod, it was too fast [03:16] jing_: did you explicitly enable trusted X forwarding in putty? [03:17] boo: download a boot util known as gag and burn the cd, boot it and read the instructions, reckon it will rescue you [03:17] and a X server running on your PC :) [03:17] whatever [03:17] thanks [03:17] Is there a good DVD burning software for Ubuntu for burning an AVI to a DVD as a Video Disk? [03:17] boo: well ot's past that now, but you can tap F8 and say disable automatic restart on failure [03:17] devede masticator [03:17] !devede [03:17] Sorry, I don't know anything about devede - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:17] to crimsun, i am sure that the X forwarding's enable in putty [03:17] hjk [03:18] bazhang thanks a lot! [03:18] does anybody know how 2 add a sound card to alsa ? [03:18] jing_: not just X forwarding. [03:18] !ot | ce_imoet [03:18] ce_imoet: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:18] masticator: no worries :} [03:18] because, when i try the DISPLAY in my PC, it's still wrong [03:18] jing_: note: trusted X forwarding. [03:19] xtknight: I'm back. The command 'arecord' doesn't give me a volume meter in the terminal, and it also won't play back any recorded sound (assuming there is one) [03:19] Phophos: it shouldn't give you a meter. [03:19] xtknight: Oh, and I'm following this help page: http://home.cfl.rr.com/infofiles/record.html [03:19] is telling grub to boot a partition and setting the partition as bootable the same thing? [03:20] I start two "gnome-terminal", and in the first terminal type "xhost +", in the second terminal type "export DISPLAY=192.168.0.101:0" "xterm &", it don't work [03:20] ok, I already have Ubuntu install. But I want to install XP on my second hard drive. How does this sound. Disabling the drive with Ubuntu on it, then installing XP on the second hard drive, and then re-enable the ubuntu drive, and edit GRUB to recognize the XP drive. [03:20] does anybody know how 2 add a sound card to alsa ? [03:20] sounds good to me, Condoulo , but i'm having lots of boot problems right now ^_^ [03:20] Condoulo: do you know how to do that? [03:21] crimsun: I'm a little confused then ... How to test if my microphone is working? [03:21] bazhang- ummm.. the GRUB part I am still lacking in knowledge of. But I know I can go into BIOS and enable/disable drives. [03:21] Phophos: System> Preferences> Sound [03:21] Condoulo: then prepare to learn! :} want a factoid? [03:21] boo: no bootable partitions are legacy ms boot loader only technology [03:22] bazhang- sure. [03:22] Is there a command when doing an apt-get to tell it to go ahead and nistall ALL the reommended and suggested packages as well? [03:22] !grub | Condoulo [03:22] Condoulo: 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 [03:22] use aptitude instead of apt-get masticator [03:23] masticator: e.g. sudo aptitude install [03:23] What's going on with the vim installed with ubuntu 7.10? It seems that nothing in VIM works by default, even if I turn off the compat mode [03:23] crimsun: Okay, thanks :) I got the following error message: Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' [03:23] bazhang- wouldn't I be able to just go by my plan though and then add windows XP to GRUB by editing the file that has it. [03:23] masticator: Recommends are done by default. -o APT::Install-Suggests=True [03:24] nice, thanks a lot! [03:24] anyone know how to change a file type? i have a torrent file that claims it's a text file and won't open. [03:24] Condoulo: seems possible, though I never use windows :} [03:24] musashi: re download it [03:24] musashi, you could just drag it to the torrent client.. most will load it that way. [03:24] bazhang- Ah. Well I have had an recent itch to game, so I have been wanting to re-install XP home. [03:24] bazhang, will try again [03:24] musashi, its also possible the torrent file is currupted.. [03:24] crimsun: And, to add insult to injury, gnome-sound-properties crashed. [03:24] Dr_willis, opening with deluge crashes it [03:24] Condoulo: get a wii! :} [03:24] bazhang- but at the same time, keep my favorite Ubuntu. :) [03:25] I see on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompizFeedback that my video card (Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller) has the bug "3d crashes X". It also says "Runs only with XGL, can run without it but it have the bug of no XV in video and you blacklisted it", which I don't really understand. Is there a workaround so I can use 3d apps? [03:25] musashi, sounds more like a bad torrent file to me :) [03:25] Condoulo: of course! :} [03:25] Bazhang- Well I have Half-life2 Death Match on my steam account. And have been itching to play that. [03:25] Condoulo: you are forgiven :} [03:25] Dr_willis, if i can find it again i'll try redownloading it. thanks [03:25] hello does anyone know the terminal command to get to my desktop [03:25] theremper, cd ~/Desktop ? [03:25] theremper: the graphical desktop? [03:26] theremper: Can you be more specific? [03:26] no terminal desktop [03:26] Phophos: what is the default source set to? [03:26] theremper: cd /path/to/desktop (replace that with the actual path) [03:26] Phophos: using `gstreamer-properties` [03:26] ok thanks [03:26] hi all [03:26] Merry Christmas All [03:26] i am new [03:27] i am from singapore [03:27] Dr_willis, well, it must be corrupted on the site 'casue each time i download it it's a text file [03:27] crimsun: Plugin: ALSA, Device: Default [03:27] SignallerFDC: this is a support channel [03:27] thanks that worked [03:27] sorry [03:27] Dr_willis, thanks anyway. [03:27] musashi, open it in a text editor and see. :) [03:28] Dr_willis, it won't. says it can't open it. [03:28] bascule, that didn't work [03:28] same blinking cursor [03:28] Dr_willis, The filename "35_Christmas_albums.torrent" indicates that this file is of type "BitTorrent seed file". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "plain text document". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system. [03:28] musashi: come to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:28] musashi, fire up gedit. tell it to open it? [03:28] i know this is an ubuntu form but I was wondering if anyone knows of a distro that is lite and easy to use also support for flash 9 [03:29] theremper: go to #linuxhelp [03:29] Phophos: tried something other than alsa for the source, like oss? [03:29] ok thanks [03:30] crimsun: It failed to construct a test pipeline for that, too ... [03:30] Phophos: make sure you close everything using the audio device [03:30] crimsun: Nothing is, as far as I know. Is there a v. quick way to check? [03:31] does anyone else have a problem with flash loading very very slow [03:31] Phophos: record something to a file. Try audacity. [03:31] theremper: flash in linux sucks. adobe is the antichrist [03:32] boo: what happened? [03:32] reddot that is sad I need flash [03:32] crimsun: It's not crashing it anymore :S [03:32] theremper: i mean i still use adobes flash, but it does suck. [03:32] redd0t: perhaps but way offtopic [03:33] bascule, i told it to boot windows and i still just see this blinking cursor [03:33] I have one windows machine left in my house that is for flash only. If I could fix flash then windows would be out of my house [03:33] im almost positive something is wrong with my partition table, boot sector or mbr [03:33] boo: but how, did you save gag to the mbr? [03:33] theremper: flash is broken right now--not an ubuntu issue but one with adobe [03:34] i installed gag, but when i rebooted, it went to grub [03:34] could I install flash in wine and firefox in wine and use windows flash [03:34] theremper: yes [03:35] * Condoulo hates Adobe [03:35] Condoulo: me too [03:35] I am starting to hate adobe [03:35] crimsun: I don't have Audacity and apt-get doesn't want to install it for some reason - can't connect to the archives. [03:35] How can I make a file to have read and write access? [03:35] chmod but what else with it? [03:35] would that solve my flash problem? [03:35] theremper: talk about slow--that will be molasses [03:35] I love Adobe, but at the same time, I hate them with a Passion. [03:36] any suggestions or just keep the windows machine [03:36] theremper: idk. i have never wined ff+flash. the problem is there aren't any good alternatives to flash and its a huge part of the internet now [03:36] What [03:36] theremper: you have to have the fix at this moment? there is a workaround for flash [03:36] What's that open-source alternative to Adobe Flash called? It's a plugin for Firefox? [03:36] gnash [03:37] yes but does gnash support flash9 [03:37] Phophos, gnash , but it's still a work in progress, doesn't work on youtube for example [03:37] !flash | theremper [03:37] theremper: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:37] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [03:37] i thought gnash wasnt really ready yet [03:37] nickrud: Yeah. Doesn't work on most video sites. But it's got a cute name. [03:37] the only reason to use flash youtube and it does not support it sorry for the offtopic [03:37] I have flash 9 installed its just really slow [03:38] Phophos, heh. for some reason open source developers like silly names :) [03:38] Zoo, chmod a+rw filename [03:38] how slow [03:38] * Phophos grins wildly. [03:38] theremper: then it may be a hardware issue--flash is no problem here [03:38] Mr_Sonoma: Ty [03:38] theremper: what computer how much ram etc [03:38] perhaps but on my previous os the same machine flash was fine? [03:39] Can anyone get a response from archive.ubuntu.com? [03:39] Mr_Sonoma: Hmm. Didn't work [03:39] Mr_Sonoma: Still belongs to root, I cant modify it [03:39] theremper: you want to try to fix it or chat about it? === ^A^kira is now known as ^A^way [03:39] fix it [03:39] Mr_Sonoma: nvm [03:39] ah, ok then use sudo chmod a+rw filename [03:39] theremper: then answer my question how much ram what computer etc [03:40] Mr_Sonoma: And how can I make it not executable [03:40] ok here are my small specs 384 megs ram 1 ghz proc [03:40] Phophos: yeah but real slow [03:40] Hi guys, I recently put a different DVD drive and a CD RW into my machine and I can'r get them to work in Ubuntu. Any idea's? [03:40] My sister got on the computer and made the titlebars on windows disapper and i have no idea how she did, anyone know? [03:40] Phophos, sorry ive been away what's up/ [03:40] xtknight: It's okay, thanks for your continuing support. [03:40] Zoo, sudo chmod a-x filename should do it [03:40] theremper: the ram is the issue I believe--that is bare bones as it is [03:41] Phophos, i havent really ever recoded audio before so all i could suggest is messing w/ mixer [03:41] xtknight: I'm trying to make a recording, but nothing wants to have anything to do with the microphone. [03:41] Dark-Magician: did you ask her? [03:41] so more ram would solve the problem [03:41] shes 2 an a half.. [03:41] Phophos: pastebin your amixer output. [03:41] Mr_Sonoma: Thanks a lot [03:41] theremper: how old is this computer [03:41] Zoo, man chmod for more detail on how that command works [03:41] Dark-Magician: okay, you lost the panels? [03:42] I don't know each part is different built it from trash [03:42] Mr_Sonoma: Ok [03:42] just the title bar with like close window ect [03:42] does anyone know if virtualbox and vmware-player read the same .vmdk files? [03:42] chaosrl: as in interoperable? [03:42] yeah [03:42] runs ubuntu overall great just a flash problem [03:42] theremper: five years plus? [03:43] chaosrl: then no [03:43] bazhang, ok, thanks [03:43] the motherboard and processor yes the video card 4 years the hd 2 years the ram 1 year [03:43] hi [03:43] crimsun: Am doing ... My interwebs is being inexplicably slow [03:44] just installed ubuntu via live cd... Now when I boot it, no display shows up (worked when using livecd) [03:44] then, i have another general question: can anyone help with installing and configuring vmware-(player/server)? i've tried installing both multiple times, with no luck [03:44] theremper: the internet is getting ever more demanding in video terms--upgrading the ram at least should help though the video card might also be a suspect [03:44] any tips on what is going on? [03:44] !virtualbox [03:44] VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox [03:44] ok thanks [03:44] chaosrl: go to #vbox for virtual box, not sure about vmware though they do have forums [03:45] well updating this to 7.10 fixed the wireless [03:45] my vmware installations always go smoothly until i try to start the program, then i just get the "Starting VMware" in my task bar and then it dissappears [03:45] but still can not get java to load on any web sites [03:45] hey bazhanf, do you knoiw if this is supposed to work for the new nano: http://www.niceguyuk.ukshells.co.uk/2007/09/making-new-ipods-work-with-linux.php [03:45] bazhang: i'll try #vbox, thanks [03:45] anyone with any ideas? [03:46] Hi all, I've got a few issues with my radeon Xpress 200m. Trying to get fglrx to work but now glxgears crashes X [03:46] magicrobotmonkey: you have to do that every time you add music though--bit of a headache imo [03:46] !wait [03:46] Sorry, I don't know anything about wait - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:46] Heh - i have a x200m. it aint hardly got enough power to run glxgears..

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [03:47] upintilldawn: install ubuntu-restricted-extras [03:47] Dr_willis: ever got anything 3d to work with it? [03:47] I just used the 'restricted-manager' tool to install the fglrs drivers. [03:47] did that [03:47] theneb, it can do some things.. cant do compiz. [03:47] thats the one! THanks Jewbilee [03:47] still not working [03:47] Dr_willis: mine does compiz [03:47] ;) [03:47] well .. did [03:47] turdy: you need to give more info [03:47] may just wait and try again after i get the new cds in a few weeks [03:47] lol, theneb you installed the ati drivers, and I bet you used the ati installer [03:47] theneb, i dident even try installing the xgl X thing for compiz.. dident want to mess with it. [03:48] upintilldawn: you just need to install the codecs [03:48] I even removed compiz :) [03:48] nickrud: had been using the ubuntu, of which didn't load up 3d. Now used envy and things are worse :S [03:48] http://danny.oz.au/danny/humour/green-eggs-linux.html [03:48] * Dr_willis marks one up for Envy! [03:48] :) [03:48] upintilldawn: the flash sites are waiting for the fix from adobe [03:48] theneb, oh, the envy story. The factoid used to say than anyone who used envy would envy those who didn't [03:49] i am wanting java [03:49] not flash [03:49] can care less for flash lol [03:49] upintilldawn: what is the exact error [03:49] nickrud: so it's all a false front.

[03:50] well when i head to a web site that uses java all i see is a gray box where the java should be [03:50] magicrobotmonkey: lots of unbreaking in the future haha [03:50] theneb, you could probably recover by reinstalling libgl1-mesa libgl1-mesa-dri and ligl1-mesa-glx and xorg-driver-fglrx and the restricted modules [03:50] heh [03:51] upintilldawn: like what exactly? [03:51] theneb, for many it does, for many it doesn't [03:51] upintilldawn, install the ubuntu-restricted-extras that should grab java and a lot of other packages you proberly want. [03:51] upintilldawn: just saying it doesnt work wont get you much help here--need to give more precise info see !doesntwork [03:52] theneb, then if you really want the latest ati, go to http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [03:52] can any1 help me concerning alsa drivers pleaaaaase? [03:52] ok i hav opened the synaptic package manager [03:52] and that rpogram is check and installed [03:52] theneb, at least with that, you can recover fairly gracefully [03:52] note to self, never let sister near computers again... [03:52] bazhang when i got to a site like runescape [03:53] reinstall syntax with apt? [03:53] Dark-Magician: it all fixed? you can lock the screen you know [03:53] witch uses java for the game it will not load. the window just urns grey [03:53] theneb, sudo aptitude reinstall libgl1-mesa libgl1-mesa-dri ligl1-mesa-glx xorg-driver-fglrx linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) . No promises, however ;) [03:53] no its still not fixed and f11 didnt fix it [03:53] upintilldawn: web address?

[04:34] bazhang, yes, just a minimal install [04:34] gazuk: you have asked and been answered [04:34] !minimal | overrider [04:34] overrider: 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 [04:35] bazhang, I am using the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver === jared_ is now known as tofaffy [04:35] YourOnlyRealFrie, could you give me the line that in a terminal (apps->accessories->terminal) type lspci | grep -i vga shows [04:36] gazuk: you need to read up on grub--I will give the link again...:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:36] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY [04:36] jinxed-: installed from the repos?

[04:39] Hi, is there a way I can configure lib notify? [04:40] bazhang, did you catch that? I just went to System->Administration-> Restricted Drivers Manger [04:40] YourOnlyRealFrie, you have a fairly old chip there I guess. A thinkpad? [04:40] bazhang, yes, though i always have downloading problems due to bad connection, so maybe i try to get the server version, if that installs without a gui . thanks though, ill play with all the options [04:41] jinxed-: yup--what about the xserver reconfigure command? [04:41] rickrud: I'm not sure I got this from my aunt, yeah it's old [04:41] Hi, my laptop has a USB WebCam built it which uses V4L2 driver. Ekiga can detect and use the webcam, but Adobe Flash (YoutTube Quick Capture) can not detect the webcam. Similarly if I do gqcam -v /dev/video0 it also can not capture from the webcam, can someone give me any hint. Also the Ubuntu's MM System Selector can also detect it. I would really like to use it in conjunction with YouTube or Java Media Framework (JMF); please help [04:41] bazhang, i don't know what you are talking about :/ [04:41] overrider: the alternate cd can do it as well iirc [04:41] nickrud: like 6-7 years old [04:41] YourOnlyRealFrie, do you have any experience with linux at all? I have found something that should help, but you need to edit a configuration file [04:41] nickrud: haha no, I don't [04:41] jinxed-: in the terminal sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:42] nickrud: but I'd appreciate it id you left it at that I have to go [04:42] nickrud: If you could lead me to the configuration file or something [04:42] YourOnlyRealFrie, ok, here's the link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/ThinkpadR40-2681 , section 6 , and it goes into /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:43] nickrud: this should work even if I don't have a thinkpad? [04:43] YourOnlyRealFrie, yes, it's the same chip, and it talks about how it fixed 'strange texturing' [04:44] nickrud: ok thanks [04:44] YourOnlyRealFrie, use the exact stuff there, your line you posted tells me it has the correct bus id as well [04:44] Meh *goes to get his usb hd setup* [04:45] nickrud: alright, I will === rjguerrero is now known as InanimateCarbonR [04:45] nickrud: and if I have any problems I'll come back here [04:45] bazhang, it did something, but I have no Idea what to do there [04:46] nickrud: FYI, I just built / compiled the latest pidgin for Feisty...

[04:49] I could give you remote desktop capiabilities [04:49] ssh ftw [04:49] jinxed-: he's gonna look thru ur pronz [04:49] silent_, if thats the cost of fixing this awful resolution [04:50] i am more then willing to pay it [04:50] :) [04:50] silent_, how do you select something in the xserver-xorg configuration [04:50] jinxed-: do you know what resolution your laptop supports? [04:50] is it enter? [04:50] does anyone use rssfeed plugin in azureus and know how to set it to delete/stop the torrent once it is done uploading to a certain ratio [04:50] jinxed-: xorg.conf?

No, that kind of fun! [04:55] Fezzler: what device? [04:56] HP 620 LX. Found a neat site but I think serial instructions are not Ubuntu/Debian [04:56] http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/wce/linux-serial.htm [04:57] Hi, my laptop has a USB WebCam built it which uses V4L2 driver.

[04:59] yea, but he says it can be adapted to serial [04:59] adapted. [04:59] key word [05:00] looks cool. I couldn't get Multisync to work with Win CE over a serial-to-usb cable. Ubuntu sees the cable [05:00] HELP! [05:00] most serial-to-usb cables don't work properly [05:00] Fezzler: what cable are you using? [05:01] I was trying to attach a second monitor to my PC and messed with the resolution, and now I cant see anything, its all blurry!

[05:02] cua0: how can I get to it before the login screen pops up? [05:02] http://www.innismir.net/projects/hp620linux/quickinstall.php this link Fezzler? [05:02] cua0: because the login screens all messed up too [05:02] Fezzler and most cards won't support a second monitor [05:02] bazhang, ok it seemed to work!!! next question... I dual boot windows xp and ubuntu, and when I upgraded instead of having just Ubuntu/windows on my select screen I have Windows and 6 varients of Ubuntu... 3 regular and 3 safe or recovery or something like that [05:02] Aztec007: just ctrl+alt+F1-6 [05:02] and login at cli [05:02] say I have a script I've created, and I want to be able to access that script universally as a "binary"... what kind of link do I create between the script and /usr/bin to make this happen? [05:02] jinxed-: success? [05:03] bazhang, ok it seemed to work!!! next question... I dual boot windows xp and ubuntu, and when I upgraded instead of having just Ubuntu/windows on my select screen I have Windows and 6 varients of Ubuntu... 3 regular and 3 safe or recovery or something like that [05:03] bazhang: I'll check that one out [05:03] silent_ ln -s [05:03] thor: thanks [05:03] cua0: so its ctrl+alt+F1+6? all thos four buttons? [05:03] I am having a problem. I am at my in laws trying to fix the network, to use a router so multiple pc's can share the internet. Well before I tackled that problem, I have noticed something real quick. I have two computers here. #1 Is fluxbuntu desktop that I am using right at this moment to connect to the internet. #2 is Ubuntu gnome 7.10 32bit laptop that is my personal computer that works out of box fine on my home network. When I co [05:03] nnect #2 Laptop directly to the cable modem the internet does not work [05:03] i got ubuntu and windows but i can access ubuntu but now windows since i reinstalled grub. [05:03] jinxed-: those are not to be worried about--different kernel versions iirc [05:03] Aztec007: no, F1-F6 [05:03] hey, i just installed windows xp onto the 3rd partition on my laptop (1st is ubuntu and 2nd is swap). now the computer boots only to windows, never to ubuntu. anybody able to help me with this problem? [05:04] bazhang, does it matter which one I select? [05:04] cua0: oh, f1 and f6? [05:04] Aztec007: no, F1 to F6, it doesn't matter which tty you use [05:04] jinxed-: best not to choose the windows one :} the top ubuntu one is likely best [05:04] hey all, im trying to update my version of songbird, and the web says use the auto update functio [05:04] Aztec007: ctrl+alt+f7 will take you back in to X [05:04] to reinstall grub need a live cd [05:04] cua0: I have to hold all of those buttons? [05:04] its greyed out though, i suppose i could be using the newest version but i doubt it [05:04] TNDT when you install windows it overwrites the grub install...you need to reinstall grub. Give me a sec [05:04] hmm I just chose the ubuntu one with the highest number [05:04] ok [05:05] iv got a livecd loaded already, actually, figured that would be the first step [05:05] TMDT it's best to install XP first then Ubuntu so GRUB can become the MBR [05:05] just pm me when ur ready [05:05] bazhang: That link does not load for me [05:05] so I understand that beryl is not needed in this new version because desktop effects got merged or something. Is that right bazhang ? [05:05] Aztec007; yes all the buttons i listed CTRL+ALT+F1 (or f2, or f3 or f4 or f5....) [05:05] i reinstalled grub but i cannot access windows [05:05] ok [05:05] Jinxed i have the same problem, but i have 12 or 14 ubuntu installation choices, i only really need the top 2 though i guess [05:05] dave_: the internet is broken? or you cannot get a dhcp client? [05:06] cua0: and I do this before the splash screen loads [05:06] I just finished installing Ubuntu, the computer restarted and now it wont start up, there is no boot loader that comes up and it just hangs. Any ideas? [05:06] bazhang, Well my laptop cannot get a dhcp client cause obviously the other computer can. [05:06] moDumass: songbird has to be compiled iirc [05:06] sudo -i , grub, find /boot/grub/stage1, root (hd0,1), setup (hd0) quit and reboot. [05:07] TNDT http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49519/ .... pay attention and read it all first. I think the last part that starts with 'Boot from Ubuntu Live CD' will be what you want. [05:07] cua0: I'm gonna need some extra fingers....... I'm gonna try that now [05:07] well I installed windows long before linux so when I did install ubuntu Grub became the Primary Boot loader windows boot loder became secondary [05:07] so I understand that beryl is not needed in this new version because desktop effects got merged or something. Is that right bazhang ? [05:07] dave_: is there a router available? hard to troubleshoot an ethernet connection with only one non-working one [05:07] jinxed !compiz [05:07] ok, il check it out, thanks [05:07] jinxed-: that would be compiz want a link?

I am sitting paitiently in #dd-wrt for that problem as well. [05:08] bazhang, but i found this also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird [05:08] jinxed yes u should [05:08] TNDT and pay particular attention to the lines that have (hd0,x) or hd(0,x)....that second number has to match the partition for windows or linux...and note that if you are using hda6 partition, it is 0,5 in the command....the count starts at 0 [05:08] jinxed-: install ccsm-- see !ccsm for more details [05:09] bazhang, how do I uninstall beryl? [05:09] it usually freezes up on me anyway :/ [05:09] jinxed-: sudo apt-get remove beryl [05:10] hi. anyone know which package keyboard layouts belongs to? I would like to reinstall it as I can't get composite characters to work in French - Canadian [05:10] yeh jinxed, and to enable ccms youl need to play with advanced desktop settings under system>preferences [05:10] moDumass: from the application? and this was downloaded from a web site and then you compiled it? [05:10] How do I get my internal ip? I tried ip addr in terminal and got a ton of stuff in which I can't see the address.

I can only find how to do it on windows :( [05:10] cua0: I'm sorry for asking again, but do I press ctrl+alt plus F1 AND F2 (and so forth and so forth) OR do I have the option of pressing one of the F buttons (F1-F6)?

[05:24] can anyone help me to find windows to install it in grub? [05:24] gazuk: did you read those links? [05:24] question: does the "~" in "xorg.conf~" mean that it is a backup? [05:25] yes xenthro [05:25] it's a new system, I used nero (still checking integrity) [05:25] gazuk: until you do some reading on this dont expect a quick answer here [05:25] mk nero is a good burning program [05:26] mk did you use TAO or DAO [05:26] Anyone familiar with the command  asoundconf   set-default-card ? [05:26] bazhang my xorg.conf file disappeared and at the same time my touchpad has gone nuts after I was messing around with dual monitor support... think i should reconfigure X? [05:26] mk: Ive made tons of drink coasters in burning iso files on bad media or too fast [05:26] Shadow147, unabbrev that? [05:26] anyone know how to pxe install with a hardy iso? [05:26] doesnt seem to have the pxelinux.0 file [05:26] download them from the ftp site [05:26] reportingsjr here is my /etc/network/interfaces...it defines a static ip for my webserver...http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49520/ [05:27] thats what I always do [05:27] xenthro: worth a shot.. [05:27] Anyone get bitpim working? in gnome [05:27] xenthro: generally if your xorg.conf file is gone, you need to reconfigure.. but how did it get 'gone' ? [05:27] mk TAO (Track At Once) DAO (Disk At Once) [05:27] but, pxe-installing from the dev version can be problematic [05:27] bazhang, I have very high confidence that it burned properly, but I am checking now (as soon as I can find my md5.exe) [05:27] if they upgrade the kernel in the repo without building a new installer image [05:27] mk nevermind OS ISO's are normally DAO;s [05:27] Hi, my laptop has a USB WebCam built it which uses V4L2 driver. Ekiga can detect and use the webcam, but Adobe Flash (YoutTube Quick Capture) can not detect the webcam. Similarly if I do gqcam -v /dev/video0 it also can not capture from the webcam, can someone give me any hint. Also the Ubuntu's MM System Selector can also detect it. I would really like to use it in conjunction with YouTube or Java Media Framework (JMF); please help [05:27] Shadow147, not sure, I used the defaults [05:27] bazhang: thanks, but compose doesn't work for me at all [05:27] mk: your confidence has nothing to do with it [05:27] mk ok [05:27] bazhang i had to reconfigure it the last time i was mesing around with dual monitors... but x didnt disappear [05:27] hello [05:28] as a new convert to linux im looking for a linux distro home, question to long time users how stable has gutsy been for you?

[05:28] that's what I'd recommend with the dev version, yes [05:28] ah, just no cdrom [05:28] either that, or install gutsy via pxe [05:28] usually pxe install [05:28] Fezzler: are you using it as a modem?

[05:44] fsddfs: your partition is too small and there is no more room wherever you are trying to save?

[05:47] sam_: so what partitions are currently on you harddisk? [05:47] jed: Until you have some experience, stay with the repos.. or install a second copy of ubuntu on a different partition and play with that.. or have a second home partition to make reinstalls easier [05:48] sam_, it is betterif you install windows first and then intall ubuntu , the ubuntu instaler will let you resize thewindows part to make room for ubuntu and it will create a boot menu so you can pick which os you wan t [05:48] thor: Mkay [05:48] fsddfs try downloading it to your desktop [05:48] ahh i dont know who to answer [05:48] reportingsjr what is the addr?

[05:48] huh? [05:48] fsddfs, try and empty ~./Trash and /root/.Trash [05:48] Benalex: i'm stuck on 800x600, im definitely not happy with that. im pretty sure that it has something to do with xserver/xorg because the xorg.conf from a knoppix cd works on knoppix but not ubuntu :( [05:48] harddisk: no i think yesterdays problem was solved [05:48] k [05:48] !res > jed [05:49] morning ladies.

[05:51] i have installed ubuntu in my machine and have hell lot of applications installed. now is it possible for me to make a cd of it so i can distribute among my friends.?| [05:51] Jack_Sparrow, that sounds a little sinister if you ask me [05:52] Sir_Sid, depending on what its doing.. rc.local is a good place to start it. [05:52] thor: I already have those [05:52] crimson: relogged. audio is still down. everything worked prior to 7.10 upgrade. message at vol control reads {The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.} Any ideas? [05:52] Jack_Sparrow: I *CAN* load up 1024x768 except I'm missing about 1" of screen space. Let me look into this "generic vesa mode" and see if that IS the problem. [05:52] mk I ignore checksums I don't bother with them [05:52] thor: 74.128.18.101 and 74.128.18.100 [05:52] harddisk: ok ill check that out first [05:52] mk: you did not get them--from the same place you downloaded the iso? [05:52] so if a hackers IP address is provided by the web host what can be done? [05:52] harddisk: and ask you questions if i run into any [05:52] cua0: were you headed to a suggestion? [05:52] sam_, sure [05:52] thor: Wait a minute, in that it says 192.168.0.1 [05:52] Pelo: Mom is doing fine with the new one.. we are watching "Wound Up" other two [05:52] good night to everyone bye [05:52] goodnight [05:53] bazhang, I used a torrent, so really it should have checked it. I'm just doing this to ensure that the write isn't the issue [05:53] it's christmas guys [05:53] merry christmas [05:53] reportingsjr ok. Then you should have what you need...gateway is 192.168.0.1, netmask is 255.255.255.0 and you need an ip address that starts with 192.168.0 I would suggest something like 192.168.0.11 ... numbers like .2 or .10 are often used by things like print servers [05:53] (and by 'should have' I mean 'did') [05:53] * Dr_willis is a grinch [05:53] silent_, keep the religious stuff out of this channel please [05:53] ;) [05:53] HAPPY HOLIDAYS [05:53] mk: you confuse the torrent hash and the md5 not the same thing [05:53] I'm sorry [05:53] Happy Holidays.. [05:53] sam_, look what you need to do, is create an empty partition for xp using gparted. then boot with the xp cd, install xp on that empty partition, then you will need to reinstall (fix) grub and add the windows parition into the grub menu. [05:53] pelo: thats what I went through it didn't mention anything about the bootloader, I decided to ditch the raid and install it on a non raid HD but once it finished installing and reboot my computer wouldn't start it showed no bootloader, I would rather bypass this fakeraid completly [05:53] Question: How do I keep the ubuntu splash screen after installing kubuntu base [05:53] Happy holydays :) [05:53] reportingsjr yeah...sometimes the wifi router forwards the dns [05:53] Hey guys is it possible to get kino to export .ogg's as as mp4s? [05:54] Christmas has long since been a religious event in the eyes of >90% of children around the world [05:54] bazhang, I'm not. torrents use hash to ensure integrity, I'm about to md5 it, as soon as I can find those checksums, which I can't yet... [05:54] silent_: wrong [05:54] !usplash > jra [05:54] i have installed ubuntu in my machine and have hell lot of applications installed. now is it possible for me to make a cd of it so i can distribute among my friends.? [05:54] mk: hmm [05:54] silent_, abc, on topic please [05:54] abc: you're totally right, christ is the one with a sleigh that hands out presents [05:54] mk bad media Burn Speed to fast, or Corrupted ISO are the main culprits [05:54] silent_: Many many people do not celebrate christmas [05:54] open_lad: No.. [05:54] silent_: off topic [05:55] reportingsjr remember to keep a copy of the original files in case something doesn't work [05:55] krimezz, I would try and set the non-raid hdd as the boot hdd (in the bios) during the install process, that would probabaly take care of it [05:55] Shadow147, what are the md5s for the isos? [05:55] open_lad: You can give them an origianl cd and clone your addons [05:55] Highlife, http://www.hartmut-seichter.de/view.php/page/note_kinowithmp4 [05:55] silent_: in fact we have a different calendar :) [05:55] abc, therefore it is not a religious event for them either, my point stands [05:55] !clone > open_lad [05:55] jack, but its timeconsuming [05:55] abc: please stop [05:55] Jack_Sparrow: I looked through your FAQ yet again and there isn't anything relevant there that I haven't tried yet. Can you look into my problem instead of spamming FAQ links at me? [05:55] krimezz, I'm not the best person to advise you on this, I barely understand what raid is [05:55] thor: what about network and broadcast? [05:55] pelo that what they are [05:55] open_lad, ive seen some guides that talk about it.. but You might be better off just makingup a script that installs the stuff you have on your box. and edit out the various things they may not need. (video drivers and so forth) [05:55] how do you get a python script to run at boot? [05:55] Jack_Sparrow, technically you can.. [05:55] thor: Oh wait! ifconfig has bcast, but network? [05:55] open_lad: !attitude > jed [05:55] krimezz, I'm a bit confused [05:55] Sir_Sid, launch it from /etc/rc.local [05:55] !attitude > jed [05:55] crimson: relogged. audio is still down. everything worked prior to 7.10 upgrade. message at vol control reads {The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.} Any ideas? [05:56] silent_: sorry I missread your post >_< [05:56] Jack_Sparrow, with a combination of aptoncd, sbackup [05:56] pelo, that okie.. me too thanks for the help [05:56] reportingsjr broadcast is in the ifconfig information....not sure what 'network' is...where do you see it? [05:56] krimezz, grub is is two parts, stage one is on the boot sector of the boot hdd, stage 2 is where ever ubuntu is isntalled, [05:56] internet is not available everywhere and how shall i get the packages and dependencies from my machine?? [05:56] HardDisk: I agree.. [05:56] Fezzler: sorry, i was afk [05:56] open_lad, you can. with aptoncd [05:56] reportingsjr broadcast should be 192.168.0.255 I think [05:56] Dr_willis, where can I learn the syntax for editing this? [05:56] helo ubuntu world [05:56] Jack_Sparrow: Thank you for proving my point :D [05:56] HardDisk: But he cant just remake a livecd with his install [05:57] thor: Any clue about network? [05:57] reportingsjr where do you see network? [05:57] Sir_Sid, its just shell commands.. [05:57] mk I have no Idea [05:57] Jack_Sparrow, I disagree as well, he can but it will require him to do a lot of work, by customizing the livecd and including the apts in them. [05:57] hi guys [05:57] Sir_Sid, same as you would type at the command line. [05:57] harddisk please explain [05:57] Jack_Sparrow, ie in the cases of ubuntu ultimate edition. [05:57] krimezz, if you think stage1 got installed on the wrong hdd, you cna try and get the super grub cd and use that to install stage 1 where you need it to be and then piont it to where stage two is , you might hve to play in the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to make sure taht the root add are pointing to the proper partitons [05:57] Dr_willis, so if I just enter the path to a python script, it will run the script at boot? [05:57] do you know where I can find an open software like Desktop multiplier [05:58] krimezz, does that make any sense toyou ? [05:58] HardDisk: There is reconstructor and much more in addition... but it isnt a simple soultion. [05:58] pelo: without raid, does the boot section of grub get set automaticaly or do you define the partition /boot? [05:58] Sir_Sid, yes... it will get ran as root user, at boot time. befor X starts up. [05:58] Elros, you mean to have more workspaces available in ubuntu ? [05:58] I'm having problems with X displaying 1024x768 correctly, can someone help trouble shoot it? [05:58] Jack_Sparrow, no it isn't a simple solution, but you told him no it can't be done, when it fact it can be done. [05:58] Dr_willis, thank you [05:58] jed I can help [05:59] krimezz, the partiton should get flagged as boot but i'm not sure that is related [05:59] but putting that aside. [05:59] Pelo: no, i want 1 PC to become 10 separate desktops [05:59] open_lad, gimme a sec. brb [05:59] HardDisk: I would be happy to discuss this in private.. I did say no, to his initial question but told him ways to get around it [05:59] reportingsjr using the copy of interfaces I sent you earlier in pastebin....address is 192.168.0.11, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1 You will need to put in your wireless essid and wireless key if you are using one [05:59] its for my internet shop project [05:59] what is aptoncd???? [05:59] Elros, look on the botom right of the desktop ( on ubuntu ) , see the two little sqares, right click on it [05:59] Shadow147: cool, can you read through: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/20651 - it explains everything in a much more organized manner [06:00] reportingsjr and remember in your interfaces file this information will be for ath0, not eth0 ....my wifi is eth0 [06:00] !aptoncd | open_lad [06:00] open_lad: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [06:00] is it possible to have a scrolling desktop? [06:00] 10 virtual desktops is nto the same as 10 seperate X sessions.. :) [06:00] HardDisk: Spending 50 or so hours helping in here every week month after month, you get a feel for what people want to do... [06:00] jed go to screens and resolutions in administration and set the screen to your monitor [06:00] Jack_Sparrow, I know buddy, just making things interesting :) [06:00] and then your screen resolution [06:00] Pelo: can I use 10 different monitors for it? and also 10 separate keyboard an mouse [06:00] jed and then your screen resolution [06:00] Dr_willis, sorry guess I didn'T understand the quesiton [06:00] Shadow147: when I do that, I wind up missing about 1" of screen space and everything is fuzzy [06:00] cua0: I'm here [06:01] ubotu, so i can use it to install those packages to other machine as well?? [06:01] Elros, no I thought you meant something else [06:01] Pelo, heck.. perhaps I missunderstood. :) its almost bed time here. [06:01] pvl1 yes, if you define the virtual desktop to be larger than the monitor screen. If your monitor is 1024x768 and you set up the desktop to be 2048x1536 for instance [06:01] Pelo: thanks [06:01] Shadow147: I can set it to 1024 no problem, it just looks horrible and is completely unusable [06:01] Dr_willis, read his last comment, I 'm not even sure this can be done [06:01] how do i change the resolution of ubuntu during boot [06:01] thor, unfortunently i dont know what a virtual desktop is, or how to do that [06:01] ok, the md5 checks out, and the burn seems good. so media isn't the issue. (I used ubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386), so... [06:01] booting with ubuntu cd, says logging on as ubuntu, logs on apparently, but soon it just goes back to 'logging on as ubuntu in...' [06:02] cua0: not sure what this means: For a Serial Connection Yes, you can use serial - just stick one of the the following example lines in your inittab, change /dev/irnine to /dev/ttySx and plug your docking station in. [06:02] Elros, you might want to try asking your first question in ##linux [06:02] thor: that is a very annoying setup! [06:02] thanks [06:02] jed the title says you cant get 1024 working, yet you admit you can, you just dont like it... [06:02] mk, what is your video card on that comp ? [06:02] So, I have CLI install that spouts nonsense about my NIC to the terminal on occasion... [06:02] Pelo, onboard [06:02] jed hmm I had no problems and I am in 1240 x 1024 [06:03] Jack_Sparrow: are you going to help me or just waste my time? [06:03] I can't remember the exact fix, but it invovled adding a boot option to grub. [06:03] cua0: there are many init.d files? which one does "/dev/ttySx" go in? [06:03] krimezz, http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ [06:03] mk, model please [06:03] Thingus: printk [06:03] mk, at least maker [06:03] Khisanth he asked if it was possible to set up a scrolling desktop...and that would do it. I in no way recommend it [06:03] Pelo, 1 min I'll get my specs... [06:03] cua0: In my case it would be /dev/ttyUSB0 [06:03] ok. i've got bit of problem... somehow i mnged to unregister my 'A' key, becuse i ccidentlly set it to shortcut in dvnced desktop effects settings... ny ides on how to fix this? becuse my typing is relly suffering from this... [06:03] Shadow147: np, thanks anyway [06:03] Can someone tell me how I can create beeping in console? [06:03] Like I am making a bash script [06:03] but I want it to alarm at the end [06:03] Fezzler: ttySx isn't an actual device, ttyS0/1/2/3/4 etc. are [06:03] pelo, I can get into menu.lst is there anyway I can make this file be not used and use the windows bootloader instead? [06:04] Fezzler : n/m you figured it out haha [06:04] fx_ get a beep in a wav or au file and use the 'play' command [06:04] jetscreamer: Not the right one... it was "irqdump" or something similar... But I don't want to add the wrong boot option and hose something. [06:04] jed your welcome [06:04] fx_, there was an advanced beep command at one time I saw in the repos [06:04] !find beep [06:04] Found: beep, beep-media-player, beep-media-player-dev, beepcore-c-dev, beepcore-c0 (and 1 others) [06:04] beep - advanced pc-speaker beeper [06:04] thor: and that seems to be called a virtual screen :) [06:05] thor I am connecting a remote box [06:05] !find worldforge [06:05] Found: cyphesis-cpp, sear [06:05] krimezz, you would need to reinstall the windows bootloader, menu.lst is specific to grub, I donT'htink you can make grub use the menu of another bootloader or viceversa, specialy not with MS stuff [06:05] i want it to beep like when I press TAB tewice [06:05] for completion [06:05] fx_: The #Bash room has lots of helpful peple with programming tips.. not necessarilly tonight but most times [06:05] !find world [06:05] Found: kworldclock, cyphesis-cpp, gworldclock, sear, tworld (and 1 others) [06:05] fx_, check out beep - it can proberly do what you want. [06:05] cua0: but where does /dev/ttyUSB0 go? [06:05] krimezz, the link I gave you , the supergrub cd lets you restore the windows mbr easily enough [06:05] Jack_Sparrow: Cool thank you :) I will ask [06:05] np [06:05] Dr_willis: Thanks man, will look :) [06:05] Khisanth virtual screen....virtual desktop....they are virtually the same [06:05] my motherboard is msi rs482m4-ild [06:06] Pelo ^ [06:06] ubuntu is so cool [06:06] Fezzler: i don't have a clue, i haven't read the article you're reading. [06:06] mk, we need to know the chipset of the video [06:06] mk ????? [06:06] can somebody tell me....i just installed gutsy and installed the flash-nonfree plugin from synaptic....is there something else I need to do to watch flash vids in firefox? [06:06] dr_willis: hey im still working on trying to install xp when i only have linux now [06:06] virtual desktop are the stuff you change through a desktop pager :) [06:06] mk, does it say nvidia or ati anywhere on there ? [06:06] Fezzler: it doesn't say something about creating an initd script? [06:06] dr_willis: i can only find installing ubuntu after haveing xp guides online [06:06] pelo, with supergrub, would the windows boot loader still detect linux? [06:06] cua0: I'll look [06:06] http://www.cancomputer.com/index.php?sku=3459 [06:06] Hey people [06:07] mk is it a Intel or Intel-Mac board? [06:07] open_lad, there is another alternative, but this will require an internet connection, if you want to do a clone of what you have that's different, but if you just want to have identical applications there is a simple method [06:07] thor: how do i make a virtual desktop? [06:07] Shadow147, check the specs there [06:07] atarinox, to have other essential items installed other than flash, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [06:07] krimezz, no , supergrub only lets you restore the windows mbr ( in this instance) , you would need to add ubuntu to the windows bootloader menu, you would need to ask in ##windows on how to do that [06:07] mk hold on , checking [06:07] !brokenflash | atarinox [06:07] atarinox: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [06:08] pvl1: you want a virtual screen! man xorg.conf you can provide a Virtual option in your display section [06:08] harddisk plz [06:08] cua0: nope [06:08] pvl1 virtual screen I guess is the proper term. I have not done one in years...wouldn't know where to begin in ubuntu. And to be honest...like Khisanth says they are a real pain....not nearly as neat as they sound [06:08] harddisk what is it? [06:08] pvl1: back up the file before changing it! [06:08] mk you have to get the 64 bit version [06:08] Fezzler: then i don't really know what to tell you [06:08] pelo: thanks for the help.. ill try that route [06:08] quick question, I am installing ubuntu again and was wondering on any recommendations for partitions I should use [06:08] other then root and swap [06:08] @ open_lad : You want to know what a harddisk is? [06:08] Shadow147, you sure? [06:08] cua0: Thanks for trying. I didn't realize you couldn't see the link or didn't have a clue [06:09] pelo the forums wer [06:09] open_lad, but like I said you will need an internet connection. IF you do have one, what you would do is on your pc type sudo dpkg --get-selections > /backup/installed-software.log this will create a list of all your applications. [06:09] Allenwr, around 12-15gb root, 2xram to 2gb max, the rest /home [06:09] mk AMD K8 Athlon 64 processor [06:09] Khisanth, thor, ill look into it [06:09] mmk [06:09] pelo the forums were not that helpful :( [06:09] thank you [06:09] my proc is amd athlon(tm) 64 [06:09] mk, ok it looks to me like your mobo uses a ati video chipset, you can,t install from the live cd in this case because of propriatary video drivers issues, you'll need to use the alternate install cd and then install the proper video drivers [06:09] Fezzler: yea i can't click links and stuff, mostly running in cli [06:09] Anyone care to check this out and attempt a few questions? http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/wce/linux-serial.htm [06:09] open_lad, then take that list to the other computer, and type dpkg --set-selections < /backup/installed-software.log this will import the list [06:09] Pelo, well crap [06:09] imyousuf, they aren'T always, but they are a good place to go when in need anyway [06:10] pelo I have a Nvidia Card and I used the live cd [06:10] mk, you can also dl the dvd , you cna install in command line from that [06:10] thanks hardDisk [06:10] open_lad, then type dselect afterwards [06:10] Shadow147, some nvidia cards are supported but not all [06:10] Pelo: How about it? [06:10] pelo, you are right about that because I installed the v4l2 driver from there :) [06:10] imyousuf, the best place I've seen for smart answers (other than here :) is the ubuntu-users mail list [06:10] if its not installed then sudo apt-get install dselect [06:10] Pelo, I'm not sure what you mean (that is, how I should install) [06:10] ok [06:10] Fezzler, if you can't be bothered to ask your queston in here, I can'T be bothered to go and open a link [06:11] i AccidentAlly set my 'A' key to A shortcut in AdvAnced desktop effects settings. now, if i use A cApitAl A, it still works, thus the messed up typing. However, I'd like to use my lowercAse A sometime, so I wAs wondering if Anyone knew of A wAy to unregister A shortcut? I've AlreAdy chAnged the shortcut in the menu, but for some reAson it hAsn't let me hAve my A key bAck... [06:11] nickrud will try there as well but as u pointed out tried here first :) [06:11] Pelo he can try to get the 64 bit verion [06:11] pelo AMD K8 Athlon 64 processor [06:12] pelo do you have that supergrub cd link.. I didn't get it [06:12] google? [06:12] I need to create a link to a USB device after it is plugged in and recognized as ttyUSB0. How do I do that in an init.d file and where does it go? [06:12] mk, go back to the www.ubuntu.com site, in the dl section, select the cd as you did before and just below the download button, check the alternate install cd box , that will get you a cd with a text based installer, you can then instal ubuntu without issues and after that you get the restricted driver for your video card [06:12] kriel, what shortcut did you give it? [06:13] Shadow147, amd64 version is even worse with restricted drivers [06:13] Shadow147, why do you say K8? [06:13] nickrud: just A. thus, the problem. it is still recognizing A As A shortcut for some reAson. [06:13] krimezz, http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ [06:13] Pelo: sorry. learning [06:13] whats the off topic channel for ubuntu? [06:13] Pelo, how would I get the driver? [06:13] what it is called when Ubuntu does not write directly to the flash drive until it is unmounted? [06:13] kriel, I mean what was the thing you set 'a' to ? [06:13] mk you can try the alternative cd iso but if it gives you problems then download the 64-bit version [06:13] !ot > Allenwr [06:13] mk: after install, user the restricted drivers tool [06:13] Fezzler, don't apologise for learning but as you can see I'm a bit busy i donT' have the leasure to go an read ramdom links [06:13] portablejim: async accesses === DiCha_cHa-Cha is now known as Tya_cute [06:14] thor: Sorry about that! Any clue what I should put for network? [06:14] thanks HardDisk [06:14] nickrud: oh. Uhm... ring switcher, next window (All workspAces) === Tya_cute is now known as tya_cute [06:14] mk, that will be easy enought, they are provided throught a special manager after install, and in the last case , you can get instructions here on installing the binairy drivers for your card [06:14] whose fault is this proprietary drivers bit? [06:14] Fezzler the device will be mounted to a unique mount point in /media. Find that mount point and use it in your script [06:14] mk: how did the md5 sum go? [06:15] Benalex: thanks [06:15] mk, ATI and Nvidia, but they are trying to comply [06:15] mk: Manufacturers that wont release the source code [06:15] Pelo: I hear ya. My sincere apology for breaching good manners [06:15] bazhang, spot on [06:15] mk: nice! [06:15] reportingsjr I'm still trying to figure out where you see 'network'. It isn't part of the interfaces file [06:15] Pelo, ah that's good :) [06:15] pelo thats why I will not go to a 64-bit processor mk you would have been better off with intel board they are mostly 32 bit other wise specify [06:15] didn't like the offtopic chan? [06:16] I am in both [06:16] ok, will download the alternate text installer, burn, and turn on the drivers [06:16] mostly 32bit? uh huh [06:16] thor: The author of this script suggests it can be adapted from ird to serial. not sure how or what edits http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49523/ [06:16] I know some linux stuff and figured I could help people as well [06:16] I just wanted suggestions [06:16] thanks for the help all [06:16] so I suppose core2duo's and quads are figments of my imagination. [06:16] mk p [06:16] mk np* [06:16] Shadow147, 64 bit processors are perfectly fine, but linux is stil a bit lacking in the 64 bit driver department [06:16] mk best of luck [06:16] not if you count redhat. [06:16] * Dr_willis finds all the os's lacking in that area [06:17] which thrives on 64bit. [06:17] mk, do not get the 64 bit , get the 386 one [06:17] kriel, run gconf-editor, navigate the tree on the left to /apps/compiz/plugins/switcher/allscreens/options , you should find it in the panel on the right. When you do, right click it and select unset key [06:17] I have redhat fedora core 2 ^_^ [06:17] you really can't say "linux is still a bit lacking in 64bit" rather than the distro itself. [06:17] HardDisk, but redhat/novel is evil now [06:17] Pelo, standard pers comp 7.10 is my choice [06:17] redhat evil? what universe are you living in :) [06:17] redhat evil? nah [06:18] pelo thats the main reason I won's I won't get 64-bit processors there OS and program limitations are very small [06:18] Shadow147, you can run 32 bit os and apps on a 64 bit machine [06:18] ^^ talking exactly like someone who knows nothing about 64bit. [06:18] * Khisanth hands Pelo a spare 'l' :P [06:18] HardDisk: It is nice to have you here helping but some of your converstaions/chat border on troll-dom [06:18] Fezzler well...it isn't going to be a quick change. And I suspect you might also need to look at that referenced script 'cebox.sh' [06:18] Shadow147, and you wonT' need to upgrade the hardware when the 64 bit os and apps get up to scratch [06:19] you can say what you like jack, I only state facts. and try to rectify what's right or wrong. [06:19] nickrud: problem: I've AlreAdy unset the shortcut. It still won't let me hAve my key bAck. [06:19] pelo I will stay with 32-bit if you don [06:19] oh - is there any reason this cd iso will not burn to a dvd? [06:19] pelo don't mind [06:19] kriel, in gconf-editor? [06:19] Shadow147, I mind very little [06:19] It is late.. we can discuss it after the holiday [06:19] the troll-dom you speak off I can point to a couple of others, not you of course. [06:20] nickrud: gconf-editor shows thAt i've unset the key... it dosen't show the shortcut for 'A' Anymore. [06:20] someone can't possibly quickly direct me to a reason why a bare installation of ubuntu with xorg installed ignores monitor/device settings for resolution and refresh rate? [06:20] question, regarding apt, preferences, policy, pinning, etc. http://rafb.net/p/XgNDbx80.nln.html [06:20] Is there an off-topic ubuntu chan? [06:20] kriel, bummer. [06:20] mk: no worries there [06:20] mk yeah written differently [06:20] !ot > suweid [06:20] suweid: if its off topic, what makes it an ubuntu chan? [06:20] * Pelo schedules Jack_Sparrow for jan, 6 [06:20] sparr, I have no idea. [06:20] Pelo: cya [06:20] Fezzler you won't need lines 8-11 [06:20] !ot [06:20] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [06:20] sparr, #ubuntu-offtopic [06:20] nickrud: though, i suppose i could get used to hitting shift A lot... though, i'll hAve to explAin my strAnge cApitAlizAtion rules... [06:20] Pelo: sure, but whats ubuntu about it? [06:20] suweid, #ubuntu-offtopic [06:21] kriel, have you restarted compiz (silly question maybe, but gotta start somewhere :) [06:21] Fezzler line 12 I think is where you would mount the usb link. then you would probably need to edit that cebox.sh [06:21] Found it, thank you all. [06:21] but it shouldn't cause any problems? [06:21] thats like asking for "generic [name brand here]" [06:21] i just installed gutsy on a new hard drive, then installed xp pro on a separate partition, but xp's master boot record wrote over the grub loader, any guides out there on restoring the grub to load linux, or at least give me the option? [06:21] nickrud: ... ... -cough- ... I'll... be right bAck. [06:21] sparr, ubuntu/linux related converstation that is not neccesarly troubleshooting as we do in this channel [06:21] sparr: join and see :} [06:21] mk I never burn cd isos with dvd media [06:21] Shadow147, why not? [06:21] thor: I'm trying to connect a WIn CE 2.11 device to Ubuntu via ppp http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/wce/linux-serial.htm [06:21] bazhang: if i join im just going to ask the same troubleshooting question, and ruin your christmas, so no thanks [06:21] can someone confirm that this is poor practice? [06:22] mk, if you want you can also get the dvd iso , all in one, both live and text install [06:22] mk what who know what problem may happen [06:22] sparr: heh [06:22] Shadow147, so you basicaly donT' have any idea ? [06:22] !grub | jangari [06:22] jangari: 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 [06:22] jangari: boot any live cd or rescue floppy, run the grub installer from your boot/grub/menu.lst again [06:22] thanks nickrud [06:22] mk: other than the obvious cost one, no difference [06:22] mk, I've been told by other that you can burn the cd iso to a dvd and boot it with no problem , I have never tried it myself [06:22] Pelo, is there actually a reason to worry about burning to dvd, aside from Shadow147's concern? [06:23] waste of space. [06:23] thank you [06:23] mk, read up [06:23] mk: I have done it on several occasions no worries there [06:23] damn windows, no reason to make the linux installation inactive other than to make it difficult to run other operating systems [06:23] nickrud: at least it wasn't as bad as forgetting to plug it in... x.x; sorry for missing something so obvious. Thank you... [06:23] Fezzler well, haven't worked with ppp in years, and never with wince....so I would be guessing [06:23] Pelo, I'm not too concerned. I'm about 100% certain that there is in fact no problem. I've been doing it for a long time [06:24] kriel: you have the small case a back? [06:24] kriel, heh. I've stumbled over the most obvious so often, I have KISS stamped on the inside of my forehead now [06:24] it's just that Shadow147 mentioned it and I wanted to confirm [06:24] bazhang: ye>a kriel: hAhA [06:24] /set irc_conf_mode 1 [06:25] nickrud: at least it's not as bad as the time i reinstalled my computer because my dad unplugged my network cable... -.- that was a bad day... [06:25] hi ,where do i get a list of mirrors from (for the repos)? [06:25] rflol [06:26] thor: Guess away. It's just fun. cebox.sh just calls a cebox.chat [06:26] katyush-free, you can select yoru location in menu > system > admin > software sources, that will get you the mirror for your location [06:26] katyush-free, system->admin->software sources , the tab with the source repo? select other, you can choose there [06:27] Pelo thanks ,is there a website that lists them? [06:27] thor: also the /dev/irnine need to be something else [06:27] katyush-free, probabaly but I don'T knwow if, lookup repository mirrors in www.ubuntuforums.org [06:27] how do I find out the command line behind the nautilus right click on a file and it writes it to the cdrom? [06:27] katyush-free: there is a great site that lets you choose the source you want-- see !easysource [06:28] !easysource [06:28] source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [06:28] x is starting in 1600x1200 resolution when it should be starting at 1280x1024 as it's setup in xorg.conf. if I run xrandr after X starts up I can fix it, but how do I solve it w/o this since that isn't a solution? [06:28] "super grub disk" does that work? all I want to do is allow my ubuntu installation to be an option during boot, currently xp is the only option [06:28] sunugg, you want to burn to cd from the command line ? [06:29] ThePub, system->prefs->screen resolution, that should remember your choice [06:29] jangari, you have a grub boot menu with only windows listed on it ? [06:29] thank you all... [06:29] what will installing ubuntu do to my current xp install? [06:29] Pelo: yes, because the default whatever it is to burn is too fast, the iso burnt is failing when installing afterwards [06:29] Ah, I guess I'll give up my chase for immediate gratiification and email the author [06:29] mk, nothing [06:29] ok [06:29] nickrud: that's not a solution :) I'm not using gnome. xorg should startup to the resolution specified in the configuration file. [06:29] Merry Christmas all! [06:29] mk, as long as you are careful with your partitioning [06:29] no, i had ubuntu installed and then installed xp on a separate partition, it made the linux installation 'inactive' [06:29] sunugg, consider using gnomebaker instead , you can set the speed in there [06:30] nickrud, I have a single partition [06:30] Pelo thats another app i have to download? [06:30] which means uninstalling the grub boot menu [06:30] mk as long as u installed it onto a different partition or HD your fine [06:30] jangari, you can erestore stage 1 grub with the supergrub cd and poin tit to the correct location for the /boot/grub/menu.lst file [06:30] Shadow147, I have a single partition [06:30] sunugg, a smallish one [06:30] ThePub, oh, true. But I haven't really looked into this new smarter than us X yet, so I tell people about that workaround :) [06:30] sunugg, sudo apt-get intall gnomebaker [06:30] Pelo: okay thanks for the tip [06:31] Fezzler, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel [06:31] mk ok [06:31] I used aptoncd but when i loaded the burned cd..... error says: reading packages Indexed... Error! E:cannot find filename or size tag. [06:31] what could have possibly happen? [06:31] okay, pelo, thanks [06:31] * Pelo is loosing track of where he is [06:31] Pelo: was responding to your. [06:31] mk, be sure to defrag your disk first, and, as you should whenever you do major changes to your computer, back up your data [06:31] Pelo, you're in canada somewhere, right? [06:31] nickrud, alright, thanks [06:32] nickrud I keep all of my data on an external HD [06:32] anyone know why one would see this in .xsessions-error file: "Checking for Xgl: gnome-session: Fatal IO error 104" [06:32] Shadow147, wise, I use a laptop so I backup to it regularly [06:32] s/it/external hd/ [06:33] S3 is nice for backups :) [06:33] nickrud right [06:33] drgeb, you have a ati card and need aixgl intead of xgl maybe ? [06:33] Shadow147, I have two copies, how about you :) [06:33] i have an nvidia card [06:34] * nickrud wishes he had an nvidia, although not so much now as before [06:34] drgeb, save sort of issue I think [06:34] I used aptoncd but when i loaded the burned cd..... error says: reading packages Indexes... Error! E:cannot find filename or size tag. [06:35] nickrud of linux? [06:35] Shadow147, data [06:35] drgeb, serioulsy I'm not an expert on this but you might want to ask in #compiz-fusion what kind of opengl you need with your nvidia card m that might be the problem [06:36] nickrud well I only have one External HD but I may have copies and copies of data on it [06:36] Pelo Thanks!!! [06:36] hi [06:36] lo === rodserling_ is now known as rodserling [06:38] Shadow147, the point of backups is to have them on different devices, so if one dies the other can be used. But we're getting off topic here a bit [06:38] After I change my menus (System->Preferences->Main Menu) do I have to restart or anything? [06:39] jack-desktop, no. I'm assuming you created a new launcher or something like that [06:39] nickrud: actally I changed all my wine menus to start with "aoss" [06:39] nickrud: and they haven't seem to change [06:39] jack-desktop, no but in more recent version it occasionnaly takes a while for the edit to take effect , restarting gnome-panel should take care of it if you absolutely need to [06:39] jack-desktop, no, that's fine. the changes were applied immediately. [06:39] nickrud I haven't had the money to get another one [06:40] hello [06:40] Shadow147, so keep one on the hard disk in the machine, and another on the external [06:40] nickrud: apperently not because when i drag the thing to my panel, they're missing my additions [06:40] Shadow147, as best you can, of course. All the vital stuff [06:40] jack-desktop, that's a good test. Odd. [06:40] pelo: how would I restart gnome panel: kill all gnome-panel & gnome-panel? [06:40] ok... heres another one for you guys: my mouse keeps going to the center of the screen on its own. eg, i start in xchat, alt tab to firefox, alt tab back to xchat, and the mouse moves back to the center of the screen... any idea how to turn that off? [06:40] yeah I keep my important stuff on my External HD [06:41] i can't get flash video to work in firefox on gusty [06:41] jack-desktop, just killing it will do, it respawns automatically [06:41] jack-desktop, alt_f2 xkill and then click the pannel, they will restart automacitaly [06:41] anyone know of a good alarm program other then kalarm? [06:41] meshuggahaddict, how did you install flash? [06:41] kikr, search for alarm in add/remove [06:41] all that came up was kalarm [06:41] meshuggahaddict, there is a bug wit the installer for flash atm [06:41] well i tried letting the browser take care of it by clicking the icon that said it was needed [06:41] weird, a little panel for my Steam icon popped off [06:42] is that usual? [06:42] kikr, that maybe the only one available atm [06:42] jack-desktop, your edits should be kept in ~/.local/share/applications , see if you're getting any new desktop files there [06:42] it said it was using a nonfree type [06:42] jack-desktop, are you running steam on wine ? [06:42] pelo: yes [06:42] i thought so [06:42] meshuggahaddict, flash is non free [06:43] wicked cool! :) 1st time using pidgin as irc client. not bad at all. [06:43] it acts like it will install it but dosn't [06:43] jack-desktop, close steam wait a bit and restart it , that's a bit of a small bug to do with how wind manages stuff in the notivication area [06:43] meshuggahaddict, i had the same problem, i installed it from the sources and it didnt work. so then i installed it from the binary on the adobe website and that worked [06:43] binary huh? [06:43] meshuggahaddict, there is a bug in the intaller , you can install flash by getting the tar.gz file form the adobe website and follow the instructons inside [06:43] * Khisanth is using that as well [06:44] cool thanks [06:44] meshuggahaddict, just go download the .tar.gz file from adobe and extract it somewhere, then run that install_flash file [06:44] cool thanks [06:44] * Pelo still has 1h16 min before he can go to bed and his typing is already getting sloppy beyond reason, it's not gonna be pretty folks [06:45] damn it's 2h15 I can'T even count right anymore [06:45] thanks pelo and nickrud. [06:45] but it's one minute less [06:45] * Pelo is so screwed [06:46] does anyone know how to get wine to always run in aoss? [06:46] wait steam what? [06:46] meshuggahaddict: I just installed flash manually ... it was very easy. [06:46] jack-desktop, when you restarted the panel, did you get your launchers right? [06:46] jack-desktop, what is aoss ? [06:47] nickrud: no, but i edited them in the folder you sent me to [06:47] pelo: someone else told me is was like an alas oss wrapper or something, i have no clue [06:47] pelo: i just know that it makes sound work on wine for me [06:47] Pelo, a wrapper for that tricks apps that write to oss devices into writing to alsa devices, so they can mix sounds properly [06:47] jack-desktop, why are you tring to use it then ? [06:47] hi i just inserted an sd card but it didn't automount. how do i find out what device i need to mount? (I did fdisk -l and it didn't show the sd card) [06:47] ok I'll but out of this one [06:48] pelo: because only thing that has gotten my sound to work [06:48] lucian_, look in my computer [06:48] Pelo, no, I know nothing about wine, if you can make his sound mix properly (I do remember something about a switch in winecfg though) [06:48] jack-desktop, yeah, I got that bit afterwards, I just donT' know anyting about it , maybe they would know in #winehq [06:48] Pelo: its not mounted there either [06:48] k, thanks again for the help === iCondoulo is now known as Condoulo [06:50] lucian_, I beleive thre is a trick regarding sd cards they don' t mount automaticaly like usb drives but more like floppies, you need to do someting after you put them in , try looking up "sd card" in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org I'M sure it is covered [06:50] k thnx [06:50] hey guys I was wondering why a white line keeps showing up when I activate the "MiMenu" applet in AWN. am I missing a dependency? [06:51] Evolution2, probably a little bug, awn is snv or something, ie still in developpement, [06:51] Evolution2, I see that with several things, like the notification area if I have the notification area in the panel active. It's only .2 software, barely out of alpha [06:51] Evolution2, are you also running compiz ? turn it off [06:52] Pelo, it requires compiz :) [06:52] * nickrud waves a watch, and says "you're getting sleepy" [06:52] nickrud, avant requires compiz ? ar eyou sure ? [06:52] * Pelo was getting sleepy before the watch [06:53] * Pelo hates his boss [06:53] ok thanks [06:53] flash doesnt work on firefox ? [06:53] Pelo, I asume so, it says on the webpage "dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen (in all its composited-goodness) " [06:53] with ubuntu 7.10 ? [06:53] gnash and adobe ones dont work for me [06:53] :( [06:54] codo, problem with the installer, get the tar.gz from the adobe website [06:54] oh ok [06:54] !brokenflash | codo [06:54] codo: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken.

[06:59] nvm [06:59] Pelo: The installer downloads the tarball, the postinst checks the download file. Edit the postinst, it magically works. [07:00] so anyone want to talk about upgrades? [07:00] codo: oh, sorry. I had a problem with flash on amd64. looks like the other guys know more about it than me. // [07:00] haymaker, just state your issue [07:00] * cafuego isn't sure why that wasn't "officially" done about 2 seconds after adobe changed the download. [07:01] something about konqueror having issues, as I read the bug report [07:01] nickrud: That's no worse than it not working at all. [07:01] Pelo, i dont particularly have an issue, but i'd be interested to read the upgrade proceedure to try and understand some of the issues i had going from feisty to gutsy [07:01] hi [07:01] cafuego, as i said a while back, who cares about konqueror. And it should be a factoid [07:02] !upgrade > haymaker check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [07:02] :-) [07:02] those are the proceedures available, [07:02] cafuego: line number 79 right ? [07:03] codo: My file is alreadu edited, so it probably doesn't quite match. [07:03] codo: 93b7c48eaa492237b807a3ae1de65cf9 is the new checksum for install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz [07:03] anyone use a digiwave 103g card? [07:03] haymaker, as far as I know, the upgrade managers basicaly replaces the repos and then updates ubuntu-desktop , in order for this to work properly , you must disable any 3rd party repos and you must have all the default apps installed, [07:03] codo: 13ce705df5d47422a9192b29827544e8 the new one for install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so [07:04] so which of these I need to use ? [07:04] :) [07:04] Been trying to search the forums for a decent tutorials on changing desktop graphics but have yet to find one. Any suggestions? [07:04] codo: The last 2 you can put a # in frontof, the new installer does not include that file anymore. [07:04] codo: You need to edit all 3.

[07:05] Pelo: Thank you [07:05] Pelo, i did have a working system after the upgrade, but my profile was screwed up and i ended up wiping and installing fresh. 7.04 was the first time i found linux to be a viable alternative to windows, so i made some big mistakes and i dont regret having to reinstall, but with 8.04 only months away, i dont want to do it for every release [07:05] another question: how can i find the temperature of my processor? [07:06] cafuego, yes, lines 79 is the tar, 84 is the so, and 86 is the xpt in an unedited file [07:06] nickrud: cool, thx [07:06] In Ubuntu are we running the KDE or Gnome? [07:06] gnome [07:06] masse, ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde [07:06] hi, im having some issues trying to install firefox extensions, i think it´s due to a download to a secure server, because I cant download the XPI package with wget as well... how can i handle this? [07:06] jack-desktop: Install `lm-sensors' and run 'sensors-detect' as root. [07:06] Thanks alot everyone for the assistance [07:06] masse: u can install kde in Ubuntu also === masse is now known as Masse [07:07] jack-desktop: apt-get install lm-sensors, sensors-detect , sensors . all as root [07:07] jack-desktop: in termainal, type acpi -t [07:07] cafuego, x64 if it matters though [07:07] kaleh: I honestly don't see a difference between the two. Must be my inexperience but I don't see it. What is it? [07:07] lm-sensors [07:07] haymaker, if you are getting more familiar with ubuntu and linux in general , I recommend you make a seperate partition for yoru /home folder, that way youcan reinstall the os without having to worry about formating the partiton, your data and settnigs will be safe, you just use the manual partitionning to specify the location of the partition when you clean install. [07:07] No support for device type: thermal [07:07] nickrud: pretty sure it'd be the same file. [07:07] I use gkrellm to monitor things live.. look pretty :) [07:08] * cafuego has more eating to do [07:08] coz i can still walk... [07:08] Hey [07:08] haymaker, I don't mean that you should cleain install instead of upgrading , but it makes upgrading a less scary option, also I prefer upgrading from the alt-install cd or the dvd, it takes less time for the process it self the doing it online [07:08] Pelo, i have figured that out since i installed 7.10, is there a way for me to go back and do that after the fact? [07:09] haymaker, yes, easyly enough [07:09] If you have a dell laptop install the dell package i8kutils .. lets you see the temperature and set the fans speed [07:09] I just got a Dell with Ubuntu on for christmas with a 19" Dell monitor which SHOULD be running at 1440x900 yet it will only run at 1024x768. Does anyone know how to fix this? [07:09] alright cool that worked for the flash [07:09] anybody have some ideia of whats happening with my problem that makes me unable to download https files? [07:10] thanks cafuego and viper233 [07:10] vinicius, is your system time set correctly? [07:10] Ter Dez 25 20:10:40 NZDT 2007 [07:10] yes [07:11] Taggard : shutdown X, go to a virtual terminal alt-ctrl-F1, /etc/init.d/gdm stop, dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and select the correct resolution. [07:11] viper233, I will try this now, thanks [07:11] haymaker: a good shot, but its ok.. [07:11] viper233, How do I shutdown X? [07:11] haymaker, you boot the livecd, I recommend the 7.04 one cause gparted is a bit buggy in 7.10, just resize your ubuntu partiton ( / ) , as much as you can, make the free space and ext3 partiton and copy the /home folder to it , then edit /etc/fstab and make a new line for it so that ubuntu know that /dev/sda? gets mounted to /home, test it and it it works, boot baqck the live cd and remvoe the deta from your original /home , no need to w [07:11] aite the space [07:11] vinicius, my only guess [07:11] I only know how to restart it [07:11] Taggard: CTRL + ALT + backspace :) [07:11] Ah, thanks [07:12] Pelo, what if i was just going to add another physical disk? [07:12] haymaker: ok, good, thanks... [07:12] Taggard : the first part /etc/init.d/gdm ... You might just want to try switching terminals first if you haven't done that before. Hold down Alt-CTRL then press F1, then press F7 to get back to X [07:12] haymaker, same idea, the partiton for /home will just be on a seperate hdd as well === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [07:13] We lost him... [07:13] Pelo, same scenario, just label the partition as /home [07:13] haymaker, your not in windows anymore, it doesn'T realy matter on what hdd a partition is [07:13] MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !! [07:13] Pelo, tell me about it [07:13] haymaker, you don,t need to label the partition you need to specify the mount point in fstab [07:14] pelo ok. should i use the user mount option? [07:15] haymaker, on my own comp I have two hdd, hdd1 has 10 gig for ubuntu, 2 gig for swap , 64 gig for /home, hdd2 has 10 gig for windows xp , and 64 gig for a download partion mounted in /home/jean/download , so it basicaly just looks like another folddr [07:15] Pelo : What's your aim? [07:15] dang Pelo you're starving your windows [07:15] pelo i have a similar setup, but i have 4 hard disks already [07:15] viper233, I loath instant msger apps [07:16] haymaker, with that many, it's probably wise for you to read up on lvm (logical volume management) [07:16] Pelo, one problem i have is that my bios and grub address the disks in one order, and ubuntu sees them in a different order [07:16] haymaker, this is my fstab line for the home folder /dev/sdb3 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 [07:16] Pelo : aim?? what's your point?? what is your out come ?? hehehe [07:16] haymaker, again , not realy an issue [07:17] viper233, Thanks, that worked, but now my keyboard mapping is messed up [07:17] haymaker, use the uuid's to identify the partitions , ls /dev/disks/by-uuid [07:17] Pelo, it is only an issue when i get a kernel update and it overwrites my menu.lst file [07:17] haymaker, or the labels, that way you don't have to worry about device name shifts [07:18] haymaker, I get that too, you jsut hit e for edit in the grub menu and correct the root line, I have to do that everytime as well [07:18] it is a bit annoying [07:18] Pelo, nickrud then i just have to change it back i know, but its pesky [07:19] hey guys I was wondering why a white line keeps showing up when I activate the "MiMenu" applet in AWN. am I missing a dependency? [07:19] Taggard : it might have changed your keyboard mapping during the process. What language keyboard do you have??? English I'm assuming. You will need to set it to something like pc105.. go through the same process as before [07:19] haymaker, yeah, the libata shift is a pain, but I see the rationale. It is still 'pesky' (good word :) [07:19] viper233, It didn't ask me anything, just did ity [07:19] haymaker, grub generaly assumes that windows will be on the boot hdd and ubuntu on the second one, but I prefer to have stage one and 2 on the same hdd, that way I can remove either hdd and hte othe will still boot, if grub is split neither hdd will boot on it's own [07:19] Evolution2, bug? The guys in #awn probably have a real answer though [07:20] i currently have a computer with two hard drives the first drive has windows and the second im goingto install linux, im going to install the boot loader on the first drive of the mbr, i was just wondering, if right after the installation i will be able to boot windows, or do i need to configure the menu file? [07:20] Pelo, grub should see the light as i have [07:20] also if this would be the correct action to take being my current setup [07:20] haymaker, I think the same but what can you do other then complian ? [07:21] * Pelo does that extensively [07:21] AmbienNOD, if you do the linux install second, grub should pick up the windows without having to edit anything [07:21] Taggard : well, you can just change the X configuration file manually. First backup your current file. From a terminal, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup [07:21] awsome thanx [07:21] ill let you know cause its installing now [07:21] AmbienNOD, you are comming it at theright moment [07:21] Pelo, nickrud is it not advisable to edit the /boot/grub/device.map file to change it so that my sata disk is hd0? [07:21] i know i just saw [07:22] Pelo, nickrud i haven't done it because i'm a chicken [07:22] haymaker, I'm not that conversant with grub, I knew lilo well but with ubuntu & grub I've only scratched the surface [07:22] AmbienNOD, I highly recomment you chnag the boot order of yoru hdd before you intall ubuntu so that grub is installed on just the ubuntu hdd, windows will still be listed [07:22] don't you just install grub to the mbr that you want?? grub-installl /dev/sda [07:22] haymaker, just add a pair of map lines in the correct menu.lst entry [07:22] nickrud, i had lilo all the other times i tried linux, it was ok but grub seems better to me [07:23] need to have the partition bootable [07:23] haymaker, yes, it's much more versatile. Also much more complex because of it [07:23] Pelo, that is what i do now, but i wish i didnt have to every time i get a kernel update [07:23] I installed webmin on two pc's behind my router, if I wanted to access the seperate webmin's like either fort he jared-desktop or the jared-laptop how would I specify that in the url? [07:23] so your saying to but the boot loader on my second hard drive or the mbr, (the drivbe with linux on it? [07:24] haymaker, for the window entry ? just put that one after the debain menu listing bit [07:24] does anyone know of a project that will do visio type work with flowcharting, diagraming etc? [07:24] viper233, Thanks :) [07:24] what i meant is your suggesting to put grub on the second hard drives mbr, instead of the windows drive? [07:24] tofaffy you could use port forwarding...pick two not used ports and forward one to the webmin port on one computer, forward the other to the webmin port on the other computer [07:24] tofaffy : forward from different ports on the on the router [07:24] can anyone help me make a virtual desktop [07:24] thor, viper233...ehh I know what port fowarding is...but I'm not quiet sure I get what you're saying [07:25] AmbienNOD, , grub comes in two parts , stage one installs on the mbr of the boot hdd ( in the bios) , stage two isnalld in the ubuntu partition, if they are split on two hdd, you will always need both hdd to boot the comp , if you remove either the comp will not boot [07:25] How can I change the port for each one? [07:25] thor: hey i tried messing wif xorg, changed some screen resolutions, but i cant use them [07:25] Taggard : You are using a english keyboard? look for Option "XkbModel" "pc105" and set it to pc105 and layout us [07:25] AmbienNOD, if you have windows on one hdd and ubuntu on another, put grub on the ubuntu hdd, that way you can remove that hdd and still boot windows on it's own [07:26] tofaffy (example) forward port 12345 to the webmin port on your laptop, then from outside you would use the url (ipaddress:12345) where ip address is the ip of your wifi router [07:26] tofaffy the external ip address [07:26] * Pelo is not gonna make it [07:26] Vinno, Yeah, I know [07:26] Anyone know how to change the notification daemon theme in 7.10 ... I never liked how ubuntu changed it from the defalt gnome theme [07:26] viper233, Yeah, I know. I was saying thank you [07:26] * haymaker gives Pelo some Nodoze [07:26] Pelo, I see where you're going with this, I'll remember. thanks [07:27] pvl1 I haven't done virtual screen in years...only did it once and didn't like it...so wouldn't know where to begin now with ubuntu [07:27] Pelo, hey, what's an extra hour of sleep gonna hurt [07:27] nickrud, weren't you in my little private channel a while back when I was explaining this little bit ? [07:27] thor: oh, thanks m8 [07:27] i've got to drive 900 miles tomorrow [07:27] Pelo, no, I wish I had been [07:27] yay! [07:27] nickrud, I won't get an extra hour, I'll wake up a couple of hours too early, [07:27] tofaffy : You have jared-server(192.168.1.21) and jared-desktop(192.168.1.22) both running webmin on port 10000. Have your (assuming)modem forward port 10001 to 192.168.1.21:10000 and 10002 to 192.168.1.22:10000 [07:27] I can't mount /dev/sda1 to /media/DISK3 because it says sda1 does not exist. what do I do now? [07:28] does anyone have a latitude d420 by chance? [07:28] * nickrud might just hate pelo's boss too [07:28] i've got this evdo broadband card and i'm wondering what it will take to make it dance [07:28] anyway, I can go to bed, and am. Night all [07:28] Taggard : No worries.. if you don't have a "us" keyboard those settings will screw things up :) [07:28] anyone knwo about error 17: cannot mount selected volume [07:28] ( i think it was volume) [07:29] jangari, is that a grub error?

[07:38] jangari, ok when you get to the grub menu, select the entry for ubuntu , the hit E for edit , select the root line and type E again, change the line to root (hd0,3) and hit enter, then hit B to boot , that should boot ubuntu, if it worked, go and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and make that change permanent, then come back here and we will tell you how to add windows to the grub menu [07:38] bazhang, no it's called mupen 64. but I think is something with the graphics because i had the same problem with other games [07:38] bazhang, could you help me, please? [07:38] far out [07:38] mario: yeah, mupen is a big problem--not really an ubuntu issue though [07:39] is this in grub in a terminal from the livecd? [07:39] jangari, when you boot normaly [07:39] oh i see [07:39] ok hang on [07:39] bazhang, what do you mean? this is not the correct place to talk about it? [07:40] mario: you downloaded it and installed it from an outside source, correct? not from the ubuntu repos, right? [07:41] hey pelo, that seemed to have worked, [07:41] but that change isn't permanent until i change the menu.lst? [07:41] Can I set this option though shell? In "Sound", where you choose what channels you want to change the volume of with your hotkeys. [07:41] http://www.ubuntugames.org/mupen64 mario; post a message there if you wish [07:41] jangari, now go and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and make the edit for all the ubuntu entries, ubuntu, the recovery mode and the memtest [07:41] bazhang, that's right. But the emulator runs the game until the screen goes black. This had happen to me with other games (planet penguin racer) [07:41] okay [07:42] ok, its not a keyboard issue? Any ideas about the ssh thing? [07:42] bazhang, so I guess is something related to my graphics [07:42] how can i see whats going wrong with my flash? I have gnash and adobe installer and videos from places like youtube never line up correctly with no working stop or moving the ideo forward or backward and some sites is just a black box [07:43] mario: not really, tons of issues with mupen 64 iirc [07:43] lftp not working for me [07:43] it says making data connection [07:43] when i type ls [07:43] doesnt do shit [07:43] bazhang, thanks anyway [07:43] !brokenflash | ogre [07:43] ogre: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken.

[07:58] sudo apt-get install build essential [07:58] it's /dev/sda3 [07:58] prana, that is very odd [07:58] dx9 [07:59] merry xmas u too :D [07:59] dx9, you need a - in there [07:59] that's my data partition [07:59] thanks for that mate. [07:59] have you gotten games to work in Direct X mode ? >.> [07:59] XD [07:59] LiraNuna: I created a gui editor for a config file, and saving is the part I'm stuck. I can't write to /etc/. So I want to write it to a different location then copy that file to /etc/ using sudo in a terminal [07:59] jangari, open gparted and tell me what the windwos partiton is [07:59] Pelo, all the packages update [07:59] Pelo, what else can i try [07:59] tigran, eh?! [07:59] tigran: ohhh [07:59] now, I dont want to sound very matter of factly, but I am wondering if one of you is free to help me out with an install/boot problem. [07:59] you can't write to /etc/ because the app doesn't run on root [08:00] Oh, so if I give the app root privilage, it'll work? [08:00] tigran, use uid() function, if it's not 1000, user is not root [08:00] is there a way to download all repositories so that packages can be installed from local server rather then from internet, since most pc on my network do not have internet access? [08:00] tigran, obviously [08:00] prana, I don't realy knwo, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install build-essential [08:00] Yea :P [08:00] lol [08:00] haha, I can just do that [08:00] I make stuff so complicated [08:00] tigran, make sure to let the user know [08:00] pelo, i don't have gparted, andi haven't set up synaptic yet [08:00] Missy, have you tried to mirror the ubuntu servers on your local server? [08:01] LiraNuna: only user is gonna be me :P [08:01] and I know [08:01] if(uid() != 1000) error("must run on root"); === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [08:01] tigran, I see [08:01] jangari, in the terminal sudo apt-get install gparted [08:01] tigran, it's still nice to share [08:01] LiraNuna: Thanks, and SuperQ [08:01] tigran, sudo ./yourapp [08:01] np [08:01] pelo, i can tell you that visually, in the disk management in windows, the xp partition is the second from the start, the swap is the front [08:01] tigran: np [08:01] anyone here is a cross compile expert by chance :/ [08:02] dx9, I have a question. How does one make an existing ubuntu install (running on an internal HDD) usb bootable? [08:02] jangari, is your swap /dev/sda1 ? [08:02] tigran: or gksudo if you want a gui-sudo popup [08:02] eyik [08:02] Pelo, can there be problem with mirror i selected or repositories enabled? [08:02] LiraNuna, you'll get more results by asking a specific question [08:02] prana, it is possible [08:03] i believe so, except blkid lists two swaps, sda1 and sda2 [08:03] okay, well. anyone have mannaged to build a cross compiler for i686-apple-darwin8 and/or powerpc-apple-darwin8 using GCC4.1.2 ? [08:03] Wish me luck [08:03] then sda3 for my data drive [08:03] prana, put your install cd in , you should be asked to add it to the repos, apt-get update again and then try to install build essetial [08:04] jangari, ok so I'll assume that sda2 is your windows partiton , hold on while I wrte you the entery you'll need to add to menu.lst [08:04] I Got powerpc-apple-darwin8 cross compiler to work, but whenever I try to configure then build any library, I get weird include errors [08:04] thing is, the includes are THERE, and -isystem is comfigured properly [08:04] Pelo, LiraNuna, can you take my question on using an existing Ubuntu 7.10 on internal HDD and converting it to usb bootable. [08:04] Pelo, okay trying with different repos will try with cd also [08:04] I got i586-mingw32msvc cross compiler working perfectly [08:04] gkasinath, I wouldn'T know about that [08:05] gkasinath, I don't think Ubuntu supports that... [08:05] there used to be an "Ubuntu Lite" distro for USB sticks [08:05] Pelo, LiraNuna, okie. [08:05] too bad it died... [08:05] well i dont know if this is possible, but can you have the app store the changes on some buffer, tigran? [08:05] LiraNuna, that's over my head personnaly [08:05] guh [08:05] Pelo, I got 5 cross compilers on my machine [08:06] pelo, i just got gparted, yes it's sda2 [08:06] jangari, join me in #pelo, I donT' want to paste in this channel [08:06] arm-eabi, arm-elf, bfin-elf, i586-mingw32msvc, i686-apple-darwin8 and powerpc-apple-darwin8 [08:06] orbisvicis: I got it already, just going to have the app ran in a bash script, write new config a temp loaction, have bash ask for the password and do its thing, and then delete the temp file. That'll work [08:06] LiraNuna, you are more 1337 then I am , I realy can'T thelp with this, maybe the lovely ppl in ##linux, if they are sober enough [08:06] okay, make it 6, in addition to native compiler [08:06] Pelo, LiraNuna, I did read about installing a full version of Ubuntu (not the Lite) on USB drive on the ubuntru forums, but there was nothing about using an existing installed os USB bootable. [08:07] gkasinath, oh, you want to use an existing installation? [08:07] just copy /home/, /etc/ and /usr/ [08:07] gkasinath, please stop highlighting me, I cannot help you with this , I have no knowledge fo this issue [08:07] after installing a fresh copy to the usb hdd [08:07] is there any softwarein ubuntu like icall to call to a phone from pc? [08:07] user11_011, skype, ekiga [08:08] user11_011, Application -> Add/Remove -> Search for phone [08:08] LiraNuna: they charge you [08:08] user11_011, I don't know of a free software for that then, maybe Gizmo Project? [08:09] LiraNuna: and for some reason my add/remove is not opening up [08:09] user11_011: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/beta/ [08:09] "just copy /home/, /etc/ and /usr/" was that for me? [08:09] user11_011: latest skype beta supports video calls too [08:09] gkasinath, yes, sorry for missing prefix [08:09] SuperQ: but it charges!!! [08:10] user11_011: yes, phone calls cost money [08:10] no problem mate. [08:10] SuperQ, he's a cheapo, he wants a "free one" [08:10] the only free one I know is Gizmo Project [08:10] LiraNuna: heh [08:10] but you need to do some stuff before you can call for "free" [08:10] user11_011: skype->skype calls are free :) [08:10] only skype -> POTS cost money [08:11] SUperQ LiraNuna: free is not cheap. i wonder how u cheap fellows came to ubuntu [08:11] "BUT THEY CHARGE!!1!" [08:11] user11_011, Linux is a powerful cross compiler env [08:11] user11_011: open-platform [08:11] user11_011, it's annoyingly hard to cross compile on winblows [08:11] besides, there's no better coding env then linux [08:11] user11_011: I get paid to work on Linux systems for a living [08:11] I used ubuntu cause it's fun, intuitive and up to date with what I need [08:11] and its cheapo!! :) I have no problem with that! :) [08:12] without the frustration of HW detection [08:12] LiraNuna: I would disagree with that.. Windows is actually a good dev env [08:12] gkasinath, I dare you to cross compile on winblows [08:12] albech, mention visualStudio and you're really asking for it [08:12] is it normal that Skype isn't in Synaptic? [08:12] dominicus, yes, it's proprietary [08:12] ok thanks [08:13] speaking of pay, I should try the pay-for cedega to see if it works better for Steam games [08:13] LiraNuna, I agree mate, cross compiling in Windows is almost non-existant. but hey, I dont need to cross compile. cant think of a time I needed to. :) [08:13] http://pastebin.com/m27f58629 [08:13] albech, if they teach you at school that "MSVC" is ruling the market, think again [08:13] I like Ubuntu, because I can do away with all the bloatware with windoze [08:13] all majot video game companies uses GCC to compile COMMERCIAL GAMES such as Nintendo uses arm-elf-gcc [08:14] sony uses mips-eabi, and microsoft... well, they still suck [08:14] i tire of microsoft [08:14] they arent bad, they just arent good [08:14] microsoft??!! I didnt think make game consoles, the last time I heard, they attempted and made an electric stove instead! :) [08:14] LiraNuna: I have been working with just about every *nix you can mention for the past 15+ years.. So I am a true *nix'er, but I still see some great tools in Windows and use them daily. Visual Studio is one of them [08:14] LiraNuna: also a lot of other embeded platforms cross-compile.. like wifi routers [08:15] SuperQ, wifi routers uses ARM or MIPS [08:15] ja [08:15] albech, MSVC is bloated and slow software [08:15] anyone know if Gutsy does not force you to use the keyring manager for wi-fi? [08:15] not to mention GCC is ten times better then GCC4.2.2 [08:15] dominicus: if you don't connect to any secured wifi, it shouldn't use it [08:16] dominicus, if you don't use autologin then it won't ask you [08:16] LiraNuna: well thats your oppinion and I respect that [08:16] dominicus: I think gutsy has a new option to save your passphrase [08:16] i sure hope so [08:16] Hello,everyone,I'm a green hand ... [08:16] SuperQ, dominicus, it has - am using it right now [08:16] well, I cant seem to use my broadcom 4306 wifi pcmcia card with wep enabled access point. I ve given up now. [08:16] i want autologin and and autoconnect to my secure WPA (or wpa2.. whatever it is) wi-fi === bthomson is now known as CARLOSSANTANA [08:16] dominicus, you can't have both [08:16] OTiux, try turpentine [08:16] LinaNuna: because you gotta do the little hack? [08:17] dominicus, what little hack? it's impossible [08:17] dominicus: if you don't rome, you could just turn off network-manager and hard-code it [08:17] the keyring manager counts on the password you provide to GDM [08:17] dominicus: but that's a bunch of anoying config files [08:17] fake login == no password == locked keyring [08:17] sigh.. [08:17] why make life so hard.. [08:17] dominicus: SECURITY OMG! ;) [08:17] dominicus, security [08:17] How do I make money with Ubuntu??? [08:17] hi. Is there a way to adjust brightness of your display or gamma in ubuntu feisty fawn? dvd playback is dark though web surfing brightness/screen brightness is fine.... [08:17] i know, but still [08:18] no one is gonna get unauthorized access to a home computer [08:18] hell, my work admins force me to have an encrypted rootfs on my laptop [08:18] so it might as well autologin and autoconnect to the home wifi [08:18] dominicus: so hard-code it [08:18] dominicus: wpa_supplicant.conf [08:18] dominicus, that's the best choice [08:18] how can i make $$$ on ubuntu [08:18] CARLOSSANTANA: get a CS degree [08:18] hahaa good answer [08:18] SuperQ: i'm not gonna hardcode it.. cause I just won't be able to do it. Until there is an official way I just won't bother [08:19] CARLOSSANTANA, YOU ATTACK IT'S WEAK POINT FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE [08:19] SuperQ: maybe if there was an app.. but a little hack.. nah [08:19] i can get CS degree from ubuntu? [08:19] CARLOSSANTANA, I've been doing suport here for a year and I havenT' made a dime [08:19] merry christmas everyone! [08:19] (for those who celebrate it) [08:19] dominicus: yea, sorry, wish it was easier [08:19] orbisvicis: Works :-D [08:19] dominicus: hold on a sec, let me see if there's another way [08:19] how do you eat Pelo [08:19] * Pelo wonders why all the religious nuts are out in force tonight of all night [08:19] SuperQ: my ears are open [08:19] i am hungry need money for food [08:19] CARLOSSANTANA, Ihave a real job [08:19] zomg its pelo [08:20] lol [08:20] merry christmas,fsanlu [08:20] ubuntu is not a real job? [08:20] Pelo: whats going on? lol [08:20] CARLOSSANTANA, not in this channel it isn'T [08:20] hehe thanks Otiux [08:20] i want a real job in ubuntu [08:20] write a book [08:21] now who wants to give me the best christmas present right now by answering a question? lol.. ill give you an e-hug right after i promise [08:21] CARLOSSANTANA, move to england and get an interview at cannonical [08:21] lol [08:21] can i ask an azureus question? [08:21] I know this isn't the riight channel, but the azureus channel is full of tumbleweeds [08:21] But here we are still working in Christmas.... [08:21] Urbandale, can I beat you ? [08:21] happy christmas [08:21] hey guys: i got a USB headset with built-in drivers... is there any chance it will work on Ubuntu? [08:21] noes [08:21] fsanlu, waht is your quesiton ? [08:21] dominicus: try it... [08:21] can i install joost in ubuntu? [08:21] shazzz im too poor to move to englandland [08:21] i just did.. i dont think its working [08:22] dominicus, check the model in the forum www.ubuntuforums.org [08:22] ok [08:22] i'm going to have to work in a store with WINDOWS [08:22] CARLOSSANTANA, please stop [08:22] ok cya Pelo [08:22] ilaeta, does jost have a linux port or a linux alternative ? [08:22] If I wanted to get a teensy web server running in a few minutes on my Ubuntu desktop (for internal use on my network, temporarily), what should I use? :) [08:23] BHSPitMonkey, apache ? [08:23] Pelono....i dont know...im trying to use wine but oesnt work [08:23] Pelo, well i was reading up on the restricted things such as mp3's and the flash-plugin for firefox. so i decided i wana install it and used the add/remove app to install the extra packages. well it kinda hung after it downloaded.. i dont know if that was just a fluke tho. should i retry? or are there other ways of getting those codecs/etc.. [08:23] Pelo, I was thinking something more like lighthttpd would be preferable, but I don't know. [08:23] Guys. I am have AMD Athlon processor, how to select platform whati need, x86 or i686? [08:23] Pelo (oh im a new user of Ubuntu as of today :], pardon my newness) [08:23] I think apache is a little heavyweight for my needs [08:23] !mp3 > fsanlu check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [08:24] Pelo thank you [08:24] does anyone have a solution for odd character encoding in azureus? [08:24] pelo, thanks again, merry northern hibernal solstice celebrations, and i'll see you all later [08:24] fsanlu, no problem and I am not dismissing you with standard instructions, that's just the easiet way to go about it , do not let the instructiosn frighten you [08:24] hey, i need to burn an ISO of a movie that's from a DVD-9. Are there any good programs to compress the movie to fit onto a dvd-5? [08:24] BHSPitMonkey, I realy donT' know much about this stuff, next to nothing realy [08:25] tushyd, k9copy [08:25] much appreciated [08:25] Pelo i actually found these intructions and it hung my computer.. [08:25] hi everybody :) , i used to cancel an 'apt-get install' process , how to stop it ? becacause it prompt me "dpkg --configure -a" when i use apt next time ... [08:25] Urbandale, presonnaly I recommend you use something other thenn azureus, most other clients are much lighter and simpler to use [08:26] bittorrent is illegal [08:26] pelo, yeah, I know, but ive used it for about a year now and I'm real comfortable with it is all [08:26] fsanlu, open synaptic ( menu > system > admin > synaptic package manager) , search for gstreamer, install every single gstreamer0.10 package you see , that shoudl handle most of it [08:26] did ne1 see what bth said? lol [08:26] Urbandale, I use to do support in #azureus-support, trust me, get someting else, try utorrent on wine , or deluge torrent [08:27] bthomson, why is bittorrent illegal? [08:27] pelo, yeah, the azureus support channel has 11 users, but my question has been up for around 25 minutes [08:27] btse, its not, and he left [08:27] * Pelo did support in #azureus-support over chrismass a few years ago when bittorrent was taking off and azureus was the bee's knees, he would trouble shoot 5 nat problems at a time , [08:28] right... [08:28] nah, im good with NAT, its wierd though [08:28] btse, bittorrent is not illegal, but some of thecontent being shared might have copyright attached to it [08:28] my character encoding is off, and not just on the torrents [08:29] its on the client itself as well [08:29] I know, but I was wonmdering what bthomson thought [08:29] Urbandale, sounds like a code page problem the caracters you may be having problems with might be chinese or something similar, as in non latin [08:29] dominicus: yea, I got nothing [08:29] I gtg now fellas, thanks a bunch for your ideas and tips that I learnt when I was here. bye for now and have a great new year! [08:29] my wget gives the "unable to get local issuer certificate" error at any https download, what's the problem? [08:29] SuperQ: it's ok.. I just dont think that not giving the users a choice is good [08:29] btse, bthompson left immediately after saying what he said [08:29] dominicus: The only thing I can think of is to take apart the C code that prompts and write something that reads a dotfile [08:29] he was trolling [08:29] dominicus: I don't think it's intentional [08:29] Ok, didn't see he left [08:30] dominicus: I think it's just what the author thought was "good enough" [08:30] That's why nick completion didn't work :) [08:30] SuperQ: Well anything that's free is good enough.. but it can always be better [08:30] I'm now run Ubuntu in VMware , WinXP env .... and I'm afraid of deal with this two systems ... Shall I format my HardDisk to install Ubuntu? [08:30] pelo, other people said to change my default torrent encoding, as it was on the offending character set. it is now on UTF-8 again but no fix came from it [08:30] dominicus: Hrm, I wonder which app is actually asking for the passphrase [08:30] dominicus: there is a pam plugin [08:30] dominicus: but I don't think that's going to help with auto-login [08:31] Urbandale, did you restart azureus ? [08:31] i'm having problems setting up dual monitors on ubuntu [08:31] pelo, yeah, one of the first fixes i tried [08:31] Urbandale, that's realy all I have for you [08:31] OTiux, Are you sure you are ready to be completely without windows or do you plan to dual boot / run windows in vmware in Ubuntu? [08:31] pelo, well, thanks then [08:31] Ok, that didnt work. [08:31] how can i install openmotif please? [08:32] SuperQ: whatareyougonnado.. it's ok, thanks for the help anyways [08:32] Allenwr, what didnT' work ? [08:32] On boot, it freezes [08:32] Allenwr, what did you do ? that didnT' work ? [08:32] I am on the live cd again. [08:32] i did the sudo command you told me [08:33] selected the drive and the PCI address [08:33] Allenwr, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [08:33] yes [08:33] Allenwr, no leave those alone, just select the video driver [08:33] Allenwr, also if you are not gonna use it , disable your onbaord video card from the bios [08:33] i left everything else default [08:34] i dont have a disable option [08:34] its retarded [08:34] Allenwr, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" [08:34] Allenwr, That will only ask about the driver [08:34] thank you jordan [08:34] hmm [08:34] ok [08:35] Allenwr, Or possibly the resolution also, I think it no longer needs to ask that though in 7.10 [08:35] * Pelo will be able to go to bed in 25 min [08:35] it asked me which resolutions I wanted [08:35] Pelo, There is a factoid for it if you forget, !xconfig :) [08:35] I left it at default [08:35] Merry Christmas! And now, torrents.... [08:36] Allenwr, What card do you have and what driver was selected by default? [08:36] Jordan_U, I'm a bit tired tonight I' trying to stay up so I can get to some odd work shifts this week [08:36] I have the nvidia fx 5200 [08:36] What is the default torrent handler on gutsy, for firefox? I just see 'trackerd' as a process, nothing that signifies the torrent window I have open... [08:37] i have a Nividia geforce 4000mx agp, with and old pci video card for my second monitor. but i'm having problems makeing them work together, like when i set the agp monitor to be at a resolution, it messes up. and it keeps going to the old pci card instead of the agp. any ideas? [08:37] I started two torrents last night, but santa reset my computer (he is working for the MPAA!!), now, how do I resume them? (using the default torrent handler!) [08:38] does anyone know how to install openmotif, cause i get a stupid error [08:38] please [08:38] oooooh. I found the same link, and used 'open' and it did continue session... (BitTorrent (default)) [08:38] but how do I see all sessions that can be continued? [08:39] g'night folks [08:39] pelo, gnite! [08:39] any ideas? [08:41] I feel like I am SOL on this. === Q_Continuum is now known as Q_Contoxicated [08:42] Allenwr: you have an nvidia 5200? I have one of those (and a 5700) both work flawlessly first time without issues on ubuntu [08:42] hmm [08:42] I am just unlucky then [08:42] right now I have an ati 9200 ancient thing, and compiz runs absolutely fine on it (much to be amazement) [08:42] Allenwr: maybe there is a different way of doing what you are trying to do... but I probably don't know it... :-/ [08:42] I dunno, I am using my on board when trying to install the drivers for the 5200 [08:43] anybody know if there is a gui front end for truecrypt? [08:44] so no answer I guess... [08:44] jgoo [08:44] do you have your 5200 running right now? === chaky_ is now known as chaky [08:44] emmera - there is, but it can be unreliable.... I'd strongly recommend the command line in this case [08:47] hi [08:47] hi [08:47] yaya, i got my wine problem fixed :D [08:47] how r u? [08:48] i r gud u? [08:48] good [08:48] me too [08:48] ur asl pls [08:48] ALSA loads but I hear no sound(using logitech USB headset) any ideas as to what could be wrong ? [08:48] anyone here running a nvidia geforce fx 5200 at this moment? [08:48] This is like... live-action-bash.org right here... [08:49] Merry Christmas all! [08:49] Holly Jolly Christmas To You Too! [08:50] jgoo, do you have your 5200 running right now? [08:50] Im having trouble on my laptop ... I have ethernet-cble based internet... yet ...when i disconnect the ethernet cable I noticed my wireless internal internet is not working ... Anyone have a clue as to what the heck I did wrong ? or how to test to get it working again / [08:50] ? [08:50] my mouse has 5 buttons, how can i set them up on ubuntu? (left + middle + right + two 'custom') [08:50] i'm looking at a "minimum requirements" list for a program i want to install.. what's the best way to see if i have them all? [08:51] Ximal: does your wireless card get an IP or does it just not do anything PERIOD ? [08:51] bqmassey: is it a game? [08:51] no... the rf light indicating it is on... DOES NOT come on in linux.. but when I boot windows it does.. [08:51] it's Straw RSS reader [08:52] Ximal: what wireless card do you have ? [08:52] I've right clicked the adapater on top right ... and enabled networking and wireless in ubuntu [08:52] the card is compatible.. i know.... [08:52] bqmassey: why do you think you should check req for a RSS reader? [08:52] I'vebeen using it so far... but i did something trying ti nstall my sprint card.. [08:52] but the light goen on olny on receive/send [08:52] Ximal: my friend has this problem while mine works fine and we both use the same card [08:52] something like sudo dmesg|grep ttyUSB [08:53] Benalex: i'm an idiot on linux and im trying to build and install something.. i just dont know if the minimum requirements are filled [08:53] i also did sudo modprobe -r usbserial [08:53] does your wireless card show up in the ifconfig ? [08:53] bqmassey: ahaa you mean dependencies!! [08:53] so i'm wandering how to reverse them... i think i install the wrong 1 mo [08:53] 1 moment kefler... will look [08:54] Benalex: it literally says "Minimum Requirements" [08:54] no it isn't kefler [08:54] because it's not turned on [08:54] for some reason it turns on in windows... not linux.. [08:54] wireless cards don't "turn on" [08:54] I have a bit of a problem with Movie Player, whenever i pop in a dvd, movie player opens and starts playing it! But i dont want it to! How do i fix this? [08:54] yes they do if ur mobo supports rf on and off functions [08:54] .... [08:55] that's like saying disabling a nic in windows is turning off your nic card >.> [08:55] umm yeah [08:55] it's a gateway [08:55] I can turn OFF the card but not the power supplied to it [08:55] umm... the function key and f2 does thi for me.. [08:56] but for some reason when i disabled the usbserial i screwed up doing other commands and can't figure out how to undo them.. [08:56] Silver_Fox, id like to disable that myself [08:56] really sucks [08:56] you can prevent your os from using it(with the exception of built on lan cards ie. laptops) [08:56] but back to your actual problem [08:56] bqmassey: instead of digging for this consider using Akregator or Lifera Feed Reader [08:57] is your card built in or pcmcia ? [08:57] Benalex: i want to try to build something... but i have lifera and dont like it [08:58] mini slot internal mobo conectors [08:58] bqmassey: one second [08:58] the kindyou have to tke the case apart [08:58] but don't worry.. i'll just reinstall [08:58] anybody know a better way to make a live cd besides remastersys?

[09:13] I have no experience with python, but I'm pretty experienced with C [09:13] Thats saying 20MB, which I dont think is correct [09:13] chazco: there is a 'Disk Usage Analyzer' [09:14] install that and select the folder and it will show you more [09:14] you can also use [09:14] du [09:14] brian_gaff, go to ubuntu homepage and look for the section on joining the dev team [09:14] chazco: right click on the top most folder in the tree and go to properties [09:14] in the console, du -H perhaps [09:14] du is a terminal one right?

[09:23] oh ok [09:23] Duster: how do i change my mouse speed? what you told me to do didnt work [09:23] so the encryption is already a part of the tor software?

[09:25] but I am concerned about being nailed about someone putting porn on the server... [09:25] would someone please explain what a tor' server is ?

[09:28] I thought the tor server could allowing chatting and mail , etc [09:28] finn: here's the flaw I see.. [09:28] well yeah, so you being one of thousands of nodes, allows the packets to be anonymous, all ending at one "end-point" that still goes to the site [09:28] In torproject .. [09:28] what? [09:28] that end-point is still going to that site, and thats what the FBI wants [09:28] its slow [09:29] If it bounces your traffic to others... they might be able to sniff the data they're sending and receiving... what if you aren't the guy looking at child porn.. but someone else is.. but the fbi traces your IP ADDRESS as the place the data last bounced..

[09:33] finn, there is a good podcast about it from steve gibson somewhere [09:33] the tor project is legal, using it is legal [09:33] tells you all about how it works [09:33] WHAT you use it may be illegal however [09:33] but that doesn't mean they'll take you to court because your name pops up somewhere along the lines [09:33] so to be clear, if the court subpoenas my data..will it be overwritten already or will the data be encrypted already without me needing to install the server with the encryption capability? [09:33] can i install .rpm package on ubuntu? [09:33] musikgoat.....I would really appreciate it if you could help me find that podcast [09:34] it's only a felony if you directly aid someone [09:34] finn, if you are running a tor server, the data in and out is encrypted, except if you are an endpoint [09:34] zheng, you need alien to use rpm [09:34] and it's only obstruction if you refuse to comply with the law [09:34] , je cherche la commande pour connaitre le label ( LE titre) de mon cdrom que je viens d'inserer !???

[09:41] ok i will try [09:41] Duster, basically using LVM you can take 2 40gb drive and have it report as 1 80gb iirc [09:41] yes i do drunkard [09:41] partitioning before install is one thing, but partitioning after install is another [09:41] i definately doo [09:41] kaper: its not really the filesystem on the other side, it should just be whats serving on the other side [09:41] what does it say?

[09:42] is there a way to fix that ? [09:42] I bought a server for $15 [09:42] :P [09:42] thats what i need as well, do you know where to get those? [09:42] sweet [09:43] finn = wants raid...

[09:43] not sure.... going to plug in my laptop now.. [09:43] * Duster wants raid 0+1 with 32 drives :D [09:43] not fair... i want to buy server for $15 [09:43] :P [09:43] to the e-net cord to see if ican getit to work onwired..

[09:44] LOWER_CASE, so did the camera turn itself on and ask you to "ok" connected to computer? [09:44] fann there are different raids, you are trying to accomplish what would be called JBOD [09:44] oh in that case ok i suppose [09:44] ompaul, also, have used the similar line of cameras at work with Win-XP, so I'm familiar with the cameras themselves. [09:44] * Duster where can I buy old cheap servers ? XD [09:44] still a good deal though [09:44] how do i get linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-rt ??? [09:44] lvm should work [09:44] secret ;) [09:45] wthat is the command used to execute the run command dialog box in gutsy. (not key combination, but actual command) [09:45] ompaul, no, it didn't, but then it doesn't under Win-XP with no special Canon software installed. [09:45] im gonna make a shortcut to it using keytouch [09:45] finn, yup except I have 4 18gb 10,000rpm SCSI 3 drives in each [09:45] ok I will use that encrypted lvm........but will I be able to protect the server from hackers? [09:45] i know the sudo command, but wireless is my only net connection and i dont know how to do it with the livecd running as i am now [09:45] finn, that would depend on what ever you have on the server like apache for webserver etc [09:45] etc [09:46] LOWER_CASE, camera problem check battery - it needs to "wake up" when on usb port or else you can't have the flash inside it mount as a mass storage device [09:46] drunkard .... do sudo apt-get install *missing file error * etc [09:46] drunkard, terminal [09:46] should work if the repository hasyour mising file [09:46] sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-lowlatency linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-rt [09:46] yes I want to do that lawd thing..oh hell I forgot the acronym...:P really I am a total newbie to this .....lol [09:46] LOWER_CASE, proof, start applications, accessories, terminal, in there type lsusb and I guess it does not see the device [09:47] finn, LAMP [09:47] LAMP! yes [09:47] heh [09:47] !lamp | finn [09:47] ompaul, fresh batts, & taken ~15 photos this afternoon. [09:47] finn: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [09:47] finn, Linux Apache MySQL PHP [09:48] FINALLY [09:48] got it [09:48] w00t [09:48] heh [09:48] !enter | Ximal ( ;- ) ) [09:48] Ximal ( ;- ) ): Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [09:48] yes thank you I bookmarked that! do you think this will offer the best set of services for the intended tor users? [09:48] any by the merry christmas everyone (to those who celebrate it) [09:48] ompaul, "Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 " <<< same as when unplugged [09:48] ahh come on om... i'm just saying I got something to work without asking for once... it's a triumphant day my friend ! [09:48] lol [09:48] does anyone know how i can use a terminal command with a linux livecd running but make the change to the copy on the harddrive? [09:48] finn: most servers don't need more than LAMP [09:49] also depends on who and how you are going to allow access [09:49] but we're talking about a special set of users......people trying to communicate covertly in a hostile environment..... [09:49] i always used http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_server_ubuntu7.10 [09:49] LOWER_CASE, your usb on the camera is not talking to the machine - I stick by my earlier call problem on camera end - if it does not show up on lsusb you got no hope of it talking to it - shouting into the void so to speak, pointless exercise [09:50] thanks wizard and ubotu [09:50] drunkard, you use it from the menus on the top left under accessories [09:50] hmm [09:50] ompaul, thanks ... will take to work on 27th & try there... if no go, then will take camera back [09:50] finn, np i've been using linux for around 3 years, and ubuntu since 5.10 [09:51] LOWER_CASE, does your machine have or you have card reader? [09:51] lower_case ... use vmplayer or something ... like vmware to install virtual pc ... etc... [09:51] oh I have a Creative ultra ATA IDE RAID controller card....will this be useful for combining my 2 18 Gb hard drives? [09:52] it might be a window only dependent piece of hardware ... because it's a type of .... umm hardware.. like the sprint usb=bussed cards [09:52] yes finn [09:52] hey all, i installed Alien arena through the add/remove in Applications,, and couldnt get it started, and now my screen looks like its been magnified like 3 times [09:52] are there drivers for creative cards in linux? [09:52] ompaul, no card reader, just some USB memory sticks which work OK [09:52] oh great [09:52] Is there a guide somewhere on how to get suspend to work with my laptop? [09:52] finn, Raid is for taking multiple drives and see only one basically 2 18gb drives that show up as 1 18gb drive but if one drive dies you can replace it with another and not lose data [09:52] if anyone knows how to unmagnify that would be awesome [09:53] LOWER_CASE, you could see where that was going, I think you need to find one before you bring it to shop get your photos [09:53] !suspend [09:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:53] finn: i am almost positive on that, if not, LVM is what you were going to go for, hardware raid is supposed to be faster, but i think software raid (what you are doing with LVM) seems to be safer [09:53] it's a shame tor isn't an integral part of open source servers.....it seems to fit the spirit of the project...... [09:53] !sleep [09:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about sleep - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:54] ok thanks musik [09:54] wicked [09:54] finn: i could be wrong tho [09:54] found an old scsi server for 100$ :D [09:54] lol [09:54] i just installed kubuntu 7.10, then it said that I could upgrade to the newest version: 7.10. So I did even though this doesn't make sense. Now after downloading all of the packages it is stalled at 0% at "Installing the upgrades". Is there something I can do? [09:55] and an old p.o.s 450mhz computer for 13$ [09:55] :D [09:55] bah [09:55] time to turn off the desktop [09:55] ompaul, I've got a second machine here, same 7.04, but motherboard is only 18 months old, not about 6 years. Will try that first. [09:55] ok now i'm getting the message "couldn't find linux-restricted-modules" does anyone know how to resove this its from this command sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-lowlatency linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-rt [09:55] Is there a way to export the pidgin messenger friend lists etc... becausewhenever iuse pidgin on my laptop it always shows only the friends online and groups etc online.. [09:55] drunkard: run depmod -a once [09:55] Like the Ubuntu Chat group.. it won't show that on boot etc.. [09:56] thanks for all your help guys! merry christmas, etc ;) [09:56] Ximal, you can force it to show offline buddies also [09:56] ehc, quit that program start a konsole and in there type sudo apt-get udpate ; sudo apt-get upgrade and let it roll [09:56] oh ok... guess the irc is just something setup machine by machine.. [09:56] eh ? [09:57] ehc, if it stalls are yiou behind a firewall or need a proxy server for apt to work ? [09:57] wols_ it said "bash: run: command not found" when i typed that in [09:57] ompaul, I don't think so. [09:57] drunkard: only root can runt it... [09:57] ehc, gtg locally it is 10am and I got to be somewhere for 11:30 [09:58] ehc, take it easy [09:58] what do you mean? i dont understand [09:58] ehc, you can also enter a #kubuntu [09:58] normal users can't use it. use sudo [09:58] how come my laptop's restricted ati drivers is checked but gives the status of NOT IN USE ? [09:58] merry christmas guys [09:58] ahhh [09:59] someone please help me out, i restarted and still no my res is all messed up [09:59] Ximal: look at your xorg.log and you will probably know [09:59] !fixres | moDumass [09:59] moDumass: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[10:00] thanks though wols [10:00] wols_ thanks, ive restarted x and i thought that would have cleared any changes to rez [10:00] seems not though [10:00] Ximal how do i do what you did? what commands do i use? [10:00] reboot MoDumass then if that doesn't work fix your resolution manually throghyour system setup [10:01] drunkard ... for what ? [10:01] to solve the problem you just solved [10:03] gimme a few minutes [10:03] im switching to my laptop [10:03] add me on your notify list.. if u need to.. [10:03] be back in a few.. [10:03] Ximal im unenabling restricted drivers and rebooting [10:04] good moning [10:04] morning telmich:) [10:04] i found a bug concerning ubuntu-font-firefox.

[10:06] musikgoat, ^^ [10:06] musikgoat, i think first is hould find an alternative... [10:06] should [10:06] yeah true [10:08] musikgoat, do have added fonts to /usr/share/fonts/truetype? [10:08] hey i m not able to start administrative applications === ant30_ is now known as ant30 [10:08] it was working fine till last time [10:08] no luckybamboo, i was simply pointing you to reporting a bug, sorry [10:09] now its giving this error [10:09] Failed to run users-admin as user root. [10:09] The underlying authorization mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the system administrator. [10:09] piyush, What happens when you run "gksudo true" in a terminal? [10:09] piyush, What is the output of "sudo -l" ? [10:09] ompaul, thanks for your efforts, but no joy with camera... will try at work on 27th. BFN. Alf === basti is now known as BassT [10:12] this is the exact error as mine.. http://ubuntu-os.freehostia.com/alien-arena-stuffed-up-my-resolutiongraphics/ [10:12] Jordan_U:well it asks for root passwd [10:12] but no fix yet [10:12] please help me out [10:12] Jordan_U: n then gives same error [10:13] piyush, Did you see my second question? [10:13] Jordan_U: no o k [10:14] hello all... [10:14] i made a program called a. i want to use the program on my terminal, but not on others. where should i put this file so that i can run it in the terminal just by typing a but not on other users'(as happens when i add it to /usr/local/bin [10:14] Jordan_U: : ) Sorry, user piyush may not run sudo on piyush-Ndian. [10:14] Jordan_U: but it was working fine till yesterday :) [10:15] Jordan_U: ok i m trying b sudoer now [10:15] anyone interested in hearing my story of screwed-up ubuntu/linux mint install, which i now need emergency help for? [10:15] Does anyone know a good code editor for Ubuntu? (I'm planning to use it for Ruby) [10:16] Jordan_U: cheese man file is too big... [10:16] piyush, You need to add your user to the admin group, if you can't use sudo from any user ( or log in as root directly, which you shouldn't do generally ) then you will need to run "adduser piyush admin" from single user mode ( recovery mode at the boot prompt ) [10:16] anyone? [10:16] !ask | simplyubuntu [10:16] simplyubuntu: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [10:17] Jordan_U: ok [10:17] Taggard was just about to... :P [10:17] mc2, basically you can place it anywhere you like, also in /usr/local/bin. What you have to do is change the execution rights, so they only reflect your user. see "man chmod" "man chgrp" "man chown". E.g. change the owner of the file to your user and allow only execution rights for owner. [10:17] heya guys [10:18] Jordan_U: so are we adding new user or giving the same user privileges of root?? [10:19] piyush, Giving your user admin privileges [10:19] thanks predaeus. i've heard somewhere before that i can actually make a bin folder on my home directory, do you know how i could do that?(what and where should the dir be?) [10:19] I don't know why, but neither gimp nor inkscape would recognize my intuos3 tablet [10:19] if I boot Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic ti says it cannot find root-fs, if I use Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic it works [10:20] anyone any idea why? [10:20] ? [10:20] Jordan_U: ok [10:20] hmm [10:20] Jordan_U: i`ll b back ven i m done [10:20] test ? [10:20] like there's no support for ide in the 2.6.22-14 image [10:20] Tilllinux, Does any program recognize it? [10:20] hey drunkard ... did you figure it out yet bro ? [10:21] ximal how do i sort out what you did? [10:21] i've restarted many times...nothing [10:23] mc2, this looks like a good introduction to access rights http://polishlinux.org/console/file-permissions-in-linux/. Depending on what you want to achieve you can just make a /home/yourusername/bin directory. If you want to run files inside that directory from everywhere you could add it to your path. But note that this interfers with security concerns on linux. The basic idea is that the system directories are owned by root a [10:23] nd therefore possibly better secured than any directory owned by a user. [10:23] tu-fr [10:24] ximal can you explain to me how to do what you did? [10:24] what';s the problem you facing bro ? and 1 moment or so... I gotta put up my desktop :( poor thing being retired ... lol [10:24] mc2, search on the web for information about linux directory structures and permissions. [10:24] mc2, it's a whole lot to explain. [10:24] thanks again predaeus [10:24] !permissions | mc2 [10:24] mc2: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview [10:25] mc2, Also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [10:25] the wireless card not working after the change from 7.10 to studio 7.10 and you said you fixed it on yours how did you do it, but ill need step by step instructions [10:26] ok so what i did was install linux mint on a separate hard drive that i have on my comp... fairly simple - so simple that it probably shouldnt screw up my ubuntu install on the other hard drive... NOT! so i install mint and everythings hunky dory. but then, when i boot into ubuntu, something weird happens... i get the screen which says /dev/xxx has been mounted 30 times etc and it runs fsck. then i get this thing that says fail in red and then i get [10:27] anyone? [10:29] hey drunkard send me an im if u get the time... [10:30] Jordan_U: well, I can move the cursor with the pen :p [10:30] Tilllinux, Can you click and drag things ( I have never used a tablet BTW :) ? === Taggard is now known as TagBot [10:31] yes Jordan_U ... xorg did recognize it... i can use all hotkeys and the pen but none of the graphic-programs would recognize the tablet [10:32] no one? [10:33] Hello people, merry x-mas! [10:33] simplyubuntu: "in red and then i get" and then you get? [10:33] jsut reboot... it fails, when the partition/device hasn't been umounted correctly [10:33] fsck fails with my windows partition ;D [10:34] root@ubuntu.... i try e2fsck manually and i do the whole thing and it asks me something about inodes and says fix? so i say yes fix it and then it asks me a million questions like that and i say fix... then i boot into ubuntu and i get the login screen. i try to login, and it gives me something [10:35] about my home directory not existing... so i reboot and then all hell breaks loose. it cant boot!!! now it gives me this weird initramfs thing... like a prompt:'(. id think it was a boot loader issue but the file system check thing makes me think otherwise... suggestions? ideas? ill be really thankful for anything you say. [10:35] I have two computers connected to a switch (and a cable modem connected to it too) and I only get internet in one computer [10:35] mornin [10:35] if i am connected dto a server via SSH, is there any way I can find out to see what type of CPU and RAM i am running on ? [10:35] both are assigned to dchp. why does only one gets internet?? [10:35] i can pastebin it if you want Tillinux [10:35] Tilllinux, I am wondering if you can drag icons specifically, because at the very least inkscape should be able to understand a click and drag event weather it's from a tablet or a mouse the same way, where it might be different ( as far as I can tell at least ) would be pressure sensitivity, but you say it won't let you draw at all? [10:36] friendlysys, cat /proc/cpuinfo if you have the required rights [10:36] #ubuntu-ru [10:36] Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 1218 HE , is this a dope ass server? [10:36] Tillinux, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2992/ [10:37] telmich: you are wrong [10:38] mariachi: cause you have no router. do you have a PC with 2 network cards? [10:38] xima I can't send private messages; are you still there? [10:38] merry christmas!!! [10:38] has anyone else issue with openoffice.org-style-human containing an empty filename, that prevents apt-get -f install to work? [10:39] wols_ no, they both have only one card.. [10:39] Tillinux this is better http://pastebin.com/m24f91acd [10:39] which causes initramfs-tools to be unconfigured which makes the generation of the new initrd broken for 2.6.22-14 so the default grub entry does not boot [10:39] it's a Linksys EZXS55W btw === Jordan_U_ is now known as Jordan_U [10:40] mariachi: you either need to buy a router or get a 2nd network card. then it will be modem-PC with 2 networkcards or router-switch-many other PC [10:40] and all can access the internet === TagBot is now known as Taggard [10:40] xima? [10:41] root, Xchat by default uses the user name it is running as as the nick...

[10:49] wols_:actually when i start users-admin as *any* user it gives blank windows only [10:49] simplyubuntu: I told you. what happens is probably the fsck delete varipus files on your hdd to get the fs in a consistent state again. reinstall your kernel via livecd [10:49] piyush: does sudo work?

They are mapped to devices in /dev... [10:56] wols_:ok [10:56] simplyubuntu, If you can boot to anything then like wols_ said it can't be really empty, I would try from a Live CD ( not mint if you can help it, just because it seems iffy as a derivative to me though I don't know if it really deserves that skepticism ) [10:56] simplyubuntu: no what command? [10:56] simplyubuntu: /usr/share/themes/Glossy/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:35: error: lexical error or unexpected token, expected valid token do u know why im getting this error [10:56] e.g. run a check on /dev/mapper/truecrypt0 ? [10:56] wols_:how to make myself sudoer??? [10:56] umm ... the xorg.conf doesn't even contain a word like "stylus" [10:57] bigmoe no idea [10:57] wols_ no command to check an fs in the BusyBox list.... [10:57] Jordan_U:hey i tried it [10:57] piyush, "adduser piyush admin" didn't work? [10:57] simplyubuntu: there is a "ls" [10:57] Jordan_U:nope [10:58] Jordan_U and do what with a livecd [10:58] simplyubuntu: cuz im installing jdk and eclipse and this error is about the theme that im using??? confusing [10:58] Jordan_U:it says no group "admin" [10:58] simplyubuntu, Mount the partition, possibly run fsck [10:58] hii [10:58] piyush, What did you do if anything significant before sudo stopped working? [10:59] Anyone? Just looking for the correct way to check a filesystem really? [10:59] yes wols_, there is... it gives me a diresctory listing but im not sure of what [10:59] Jordan_U:well i upgraded the packages like user-admin [10:59] Jordan_U:and also base packages [10:59] I am trying to install wine 0.9.5.1 and added the wine repos, but can't get the list. Error: Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1). Any ideas please? [10:59] uchazco: "mount". how are they mounted? on what device? [11:00] Jordan_U the rescue mode on the ubuntu alternate install cd (all that i have) [11:00] Jordan_U: I think it isn't working, because the xorg.conf doesn't contain any information about the tablet [11:00] They are truecrypt devices (encrypted ext2 partitions) [11:00] fluxy: there is more to the output [11:00] Jordan_U::) [11:00] simplyubuntu: that one's good [11:00] when i go into that and try to open a shell in ANY of my partitions, i cant [11:00] wols_:Failed to fetch http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) [11:00] wols_ which one? [11:00] wols_ - e.g. run truecrypt, /dev/mapper/truecrypt0 turns up, and then you can mount that to a mount point... but they never seem to get checked, so Id like to force one [11:00] simplyubuntu: any [11:01] wols_: The file/link is ok tho, i tried it in my browser and got the file. [11:01] Jordan_U:wont work??? [11:01] wols_ any livecd? [11:01] uchazco: touch /truecrypemountpoint/forscfsck then reboot [11:01] Is it as simple as "fsck /dev/mapper/truecrypt0" ? [11:01] simplyubuntu: a UBUNTU livecd [11:01] wols_ - they dont exist on reboot [11:01] uchazco: remount it read only the fsck it [11:02] hey - I want to disable some programs for system startup. Which file should I edit? [11:02] wols_ you mean the alternate install cd is a good choice? [11:02] uchazco: NEVER fsck on a writable fs and not even on a ro mounted one if you can help it [11:02] I mean, I do not want those programs to start automatically [11:02] piyush, What won't work? [11:02] I can make it present but not mounted [11:02] Q[e]D:get rcconf [11:02] Jordan_U:i mean no way to solve it??? [11:03] e.g. /dev/mapper/truecrypt0 acts like a physical device (truecrypt fakes one), it doesnt need to be mounted [11:03] Merry Christmas [11:03] wols_: Will try it, thx. [11:03] wol_? Jordan_U? [11:03] david_J: Thanks, to you as well [11:03] uchazco: why not use LUKS? [11:03] piyush: do you have any other groups o your system [11:03] piyush, There is almost certainly a way to solve it, you just need to be made a sudoer, but I am trying to figure out why you don't have an admin group [11:04] david_J - Truecrypt works well with other Windows machines I have [11:04] Ah [11:04] Jordan_U even the ubuntu recovery mode takes me to the initramfs thing... [11:04] wols_: I installed it but still can't see 'Firestarter' there. Do you have any idea that which file should I edit to disable that program? [11:05] Jordan_U:yah whenever i start users-admin just blank windows pop-up.... they dont have *any* group *any* users ,imply blank [11:05] is there a a compiler on gusty or ubuntu that compiles all the .net framework like j# c# and vb.net as VS.net??? [11:05] Ah what are some good newgroups to get on? [11:05] Jordan_U:and if i create new user thr` it ..... it almost crashes.... [11:06] Q[e]D: gksu firestarter === rob1 is now known as rob [11:06] Q[e]D: else you didnt install it [11:06] bigmoe, mono [11:06] well I installed it and it gets run by default at every system startup. I want to disable this :) [11:06] wols_ - ok... /dev/sdb1 (encrypted real device) is now available at /dev/mapper/truecrypt0 (unencrypted, acts as real device), but not mounted... so I run fsck /dev/mapper... safely now? [11:06] bigmoe, That will do C# at the very least [11:07] bigmoe, Wait, nvm [11:07] Q[e]D: Go into the firestarter options, disable the init script, or remove it [11:07] Q[e]D: Really don't know what option the room will condone [11:07] Q[e]D: I just use straight iptable rules [11:08] after last update nautilus lost the lan icos even if i can browse the shares manually smb://machine_name/share/ if any1 can help [11:08] after last update nautilus lost the lan icons even if i can browse the shares manually smb://machine_name/share/ if any1 can help [11:08] How can I stop whichever component of gnome makes the thumbnails from trying to make a thumbnail or a file that is open for WRITE ACCESS. [11:09] piyush: do you have any other groups o your system [11:09] david_J: well, I installed it because I had to. I wasn't able to open some sites and learned that it was a kernel issue. I installed firestarter to solve it but I dont want to get it at every start. I played with options and disabled it but it still gets run by default :/ [11:09] I am saving a video file to the desktop, and I am curious why every 2-3 seconds it keeps retrying to make a thumbnail. It seems awfully painful and wasteful. [11:09] simplyubuntu: are you running ubuntu on an amd64? [11:09] shade052:its showing blank [11:10] I did have the initramfs error, too, so i switched to 32bit, which worked ;D [11:10] Tillinu1 nope. === Tilllinu1 is now known as Tillinux [11:10] most prob your upgrade wiped out the old groups and users [11:10] Q[e]D: /etc/init.d/firestarter stop [11:10] its more a cli than an error. i have no idea what to do [11:10] * Fesek just got a Creative Zen for christmas "Would anyone know what I could install yo be able to use it in ubuntu? Or maybe I could get it running through banshee? Any help is much appreciated." [11:10] Okay... its very slowly checking... is there any way to make it show status the next time i do it? [11:10] i cant even copy my old debs from apt cache to install them. [11:11] piyush:did you try groups cmd [11:11] theyre all on root partition [11:11] I have a raid 5 (consisting of 4 disks) and I want to reinstall ubuntu (installing not on the raid but on seperate disk). How do I resume/assemble the raid again? thanks in advance [11:11] david_J: and to make this automatic at every system boot? [11:11] Tillinux any advice? [11:11] ok I turned off thumbnails altogether for now, but I would hope that a thumbnail generator would check to see if a file lock would be possible, so a torrent saving to desktop does spend 24 hours trying to generate a thumbnail every 3 seconds... [11:11] forgot to add: its a software raid [11:11] shade052:wow its showing something new [11:11] I am trying to install wine 0.9.5.1 and added the wine repos, but can't get the list. Error: Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1). Any ideas please? [11:11] shade052:lpadmin [11:11] simplyubuntu: nope, sry [11:12] check you ram ;D [11:12] shade052:whats that?? === ^A^way is now known as ^A^kira [11:12] +r [11:12] shade052:piyush plugdev lpadmin [11:12] shade052_:that answer was for me ?

For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression.

Ubuntu kernels are pretty complete.

[11:14] shade052:wow but i dont have any printer : ) ,still i should thank it for making me admin of atleast something [11:14] !hi | mircuser [11:14] mircuser: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[11:15] predaeus: the .torrent file wasn't save anywhere (just opened) :-/ [11:15] piyush: not havin admin is something try "sudo su root" dont wory you dont need a printer to have that user group [11:15] wols_: sudo apt-get remove firestarter [11:15] after last update nautilus lost the lan icons, even if i can browse the shares manually smb://machine_name/share/ [11:15] predaeus: I am used to using uTorrent [11:15] jgoo, hm then you would've to open it again from the web [11:15] wols_: add --purge onto the end of that if you don't think you'll want it again. [11:15] jgoo: use Ktorrent or better Deluge [11:15] anyone? [11:16] it will take a few secs only [11:16] predaeus: I did that, I remembered the links on piratebay and they resumed the session (which I liked!) so it is all ok - I'll remember ot save in a dedicate folder somewhere off desktop [11:16] shade052:it just asked for passwd ......nothing else [11:16] mircuser: accept [11:16] guys how to combine .rar files with unrar please cause i cannot find the unrar command anywhere [11:16] Ok... for reference... use truecrypt to map the volume, but not mount it, then fsck [-f] seems to work :) [11:16] mircuser: if you are behind a router, you'll need to set your port settings I believe [11:16] it never prompted me [11:17] schmucks [11:17] wols_ i figured out whats happened... wanna know/ [11:17] mircuser: yea, it's either firewall or router issues [11:17] kurt: I don't know if you can just combine them.. I think you'll have to unpack them and pack them up again [11:17] i'll be back restart modem [11:17] Tillinux, you? [11:18] anyone know how to get the new creative zen running in ubuntu? [11:18] you -> your [11:18] simplyubuntu: [11:18] well, how to use unrar then [11:19] I'm currently using rtorrent, but I'm looking for a nicer looking client :-).

[11:20] shade052:nor going sudo.. [11:20] Ayabara: what about Deluge? [11:20] piyush:do you have a root password [11:20] shade052:yah :) [11:20] ok [11:21] Tillinux ok, so when i ran fsck the first time, what it did for some kooky reason was to thing that my whole root partition was corrupt... what it did then was to put all the files in the root partition into the 'lost and found' folder. this is what isnt allowing my to boot up.... and in the lost found folder, all the files are in flders that have random numbers (i suspect inode numbers where the data exist(ed)). any idea how to restore the data??? [11:21] try now [11:21] Ayabara: what about Deluge? [11:21] white_eagle, looking into it now :-) [11:21] K [11:21] hmpf, editing the xorg.conf didn't help either [11:22] shade052:oh yes i typed root passwd .... but still the $ prompt doent change....

[11:47] joeymv: how much ram do you have? [11:47] joeymv, In what way? Does it not use it currently? [11:47] joeymv: it should do that automatically [11:47] joeymv: search for commandline options during boot [11:47] done! [11:47] !cloning > simplyubuntu [11:48] if I open a bunch of crap, like VMWAre and evolution with 200 megs of email clutter, and firefox, etc, it will use 480 megs of physical memory and drop the rest of watever is open into swap [11:48] yet in gnome system monitor i reads as 1024 mb of ram [11:48] hi [11:49] how to config mail command from mailutils to use maildir? [11:50] tarelerulz: i did make and make install for that rarlab rar, is that good, cause the manual is not so clear for me [11:50] user memory: 480 of 1010.9 [11:50] used swap: 499 of 2.2 GB [11:50] tarelerulz: what is easiest way to combine .rar files then ? [11:51] joeymv, http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-memory.html === Riddick is now known as OSXcellent [11:52] thanks, going there now [11:52] they should become an .iso file [11:52] joeymv, http://colorfulcuriosities.blogspot.com/2007/06/ubuntu-speed-tweaks.html read the part about vm.swappiness how you can reduce it so you use more ram rather than swap file. [11:53] hi [11:53] i never thought about it being caused by VMWare [11:53] thanks HardDisk [11:53] vmware is a bit of a hog [11:53] that's why I use virtualbox [11:53] I'm trying to set a new password, but gets told 'password is too simple'. Now, this is a personal computer and I _want_ a simple password... How can I allow setting stupid, simple passwords? === brabbit is now known as B-rabbit_ [11:54] RoyK: like what? :} [11:55] bazhang: I want ubuntu to allow me to set '123' as the password if I want to :þ [11:55] succeeded thanks for the hint of rarlab [11:55] RoyK, you can use it anyway. [11:55] hello [11:55] * bazhang writes down RoyK's password '123' [11:55] Your password is too simple and may be insecure [11:55] [Change Password] [Use Anyway] [11:55] hwo wants to talk with me [11:55] you know the command with dpkg that gets you a list of whats installed adn whats not? i think dpkg --get-selections... well i need to know what the actual file where dpkg stores these selections is called [11:55] azureus2002: join #ubuntu-offtopic [11:55] can anyone tell me? [11:56] what [11:56] HardDisk: ubuntu tells me 'password's too simple' [11:56] i am new on opera [11:56] HardDisk: and I want ubuntu to bugger off [11:56] please explain to me [11:56] simplyubuntu: dpkg -l [11:56] azureus2002: this is not a chat channel === B-rabbit_ is now known as |B-rabbit [11:56] does anyone know if AWN works well on ubuntu? [11:56] hey HardDisk im wondering i have my swap at 1gb and i have 1gb ram.. ive been lagging from time to time is that why? [11:56] bazhang:what is this? [11:56] finn: some would say yes [11:57] fsanlu, shouldn't be that bad really. [11:57] any serious bugs with it? [11:57] finn: dont know never used it [11:57] iNeo i need to know the actual file because i dont have the dpkg command available to me - my install's screwed up. does this mean that dpkg actually generates a new list every time? [11:57] HardDisk, i dont know like it hangs pretty bad when its installing and whatnot.. i dont know if those are flukes or not but it hasnt in awhile [11:57] i have 8 gb of ram [11:57] RoyK, 1. Choose something vague but easy to remember, like 'titanic' 2. Use symbols, like make your password titanic% . Nobody would ever guess that! Also, if you have a special character on your keyboard (i.e. the euro symbol) use that. 3. Also use numbers in your password. 4. Master passwords are very easy to remember, but if somebody finds out your password, they have access to everything! [11:57] fsanlu, are you using ext3? [11:58] yes i am [11:58] and running background processes? [11:58] one other question for people: why can't ZFS be used with ubuntu? it sounds really great! [11:58] im not sure... [11:58] fsanlu, run top and check what's using up cpu/ram [11:58] finn: not open source [11:58] also, if I can't use ZFS then which other filesystem is best? [11:58] HardDisk how do i do that? i just installed linux yesterday hehe [11:59] finn: best for what? ext3 is most widely used [11:59] fsanlu, in terminal type top [11:59] bazhang: will it ever be licensed? or can another version be reverse engineered? [11:59] !dd [11:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:59] how do i use dd command? [11:59] bazhang: I hate needed to defrag my windows box....... [11:59] finn: check out some of the linux sites for this info--this is offtpoc [11:59] HardDisk you sound like the person who could help me with this... http://pastebin.com/m24f91acd [11:59] rgnr type man dd or dd --help [11:59] HardDisk: I'm aware of workarounds, but I want to _open_up_ and _allow_ simple passwords. I just don't remember where I can do this [12:00] offtopic? which irc channel is this? [12:00] HI === mickvdv_ is now known as mickvdv [12:00] HardDisk okay im looking at it. [12:00] finn #ubuntu-offtopic [12:00] personally I never use less than 10 character passwords. [12:00] actually nothing really is using cpu and mem.. [12:00] How to install drivers under ubuntu ? [12:00] finn: ubuntu support channel--zfs is not part of ubuntu, ergo offtopic [12:00] so I don't know where to use simple passwords :) i'll have to google for that one. [12:00] Berofa: for video? [12:01] HardDisk, i guess it was just a bad one awhile ago. it seems pretty normal.. hehe false alarm then [12:01] HardDisk: a program called qpamat will generate passwds [12:01] no graphics [12:01] I got the CD but ubnutu doesn't list it up [12:01] Berofa: what card? [12:01] simplyubuntu, nice mess there :) [12:01] ASUS en8600GT [12:02] it's not supported by ubuntu [12:02] david_J, yes but like I said I don't use less than 10 character passwords [12:02] !nvidia | Berofa [12:02] Berofa: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:02] not simple ones. [12:02] thx [12:02] ok,another question - can I install ubuntu from a flash drive instead of a CD? [12:02] and there are tonnes of auto generative passwords on the net. [12:02] finn: pendrivelinux.com [12:02] thanks [12:02] finn: Yeah you have to copy the cd contents on a fat32 formatted usb stick [12:02] Berofa, it is supported. [12:03] finn, yes. [12:03] oh wait, I don't want to install ubuntu to a flash drive [12:03] finn: and install syslinux bootloader on it [12:03] HardDisk yep thanks for the praise :P. what to do? [12:03] david thanks [12:03] ok [12:03] simplyubuntu, first of all, are you able to boot into either mint or ubuntu? [12:03] where can I find syslinux bootloader? [12:03] is there a way to figure out how much power your pc or laptop is using ? [12:03] finn: google it [12:03] ok [12:03] finn: do you have a prominent search engine available to you? :} [12:04] HardDisk just mint. [12:04] btw ive been having wifi problems, it just randomly disconnects either from 5 minutes or 30. im connected wired right now and i havnet had any problems since. ive tried to troubleshoot it but it doesnt seem like anything is broken. but what is weird is all the other laptops in the house dont d/c. so is it possible my wifi is getting faulty? [12:04] sure but why not ask a knowledable irc channel [12:04] booting into ubuntu gives me that initramfs thing [12:04] finn, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [12:04] finn: and if need be use a live distro with a compiler to compile it.. I think it is statically linked [12:04] hi [12:04] like the wifi card itself is broke? [12:04] thank you harddisk [12:04] finn: but dont take my word for it [12:04] finn, follow that guide, because gutsy is different to feisty for usb installations. [12:05] finn, just follow the guide I posted, it's flawless and works. [12:05] ok [12:05] finn: Follow HardDisk .... [12:05] finn: I pretend I know too much [12:05] HardDisk? [12:05] yes, follow me my children. [12:05] :P [12:05] I'm trying to follow the wacom bamboo fun tutorial, but it seems the git udev file pointed by the tutorial is on a not rensponding server :/ anybody got that file ? [12:05] simplyubuntu, what about mint? [12:05] :P [12:05] HardDisk: not to hell I hope [12:05] :) [12:05] mint works perfectly [12:06] and they are on two seperate harddrives correct? [12:06] yep correct HardDisk [12:06] harddisk, no in my ubuntu it's not supported [12:06] Berofa, dude it does work, you have to set it up. [12:07] and when I try to install it by restricted drivers it says: "nvidia-glx-new not installed" [12:07] How ? [12:07] Berofa: its just the nvidia rebranded iirc [12:07] im new [12:07] simplyubuntu, ok.. [12:07] thanks all [12:07] simplyubuntu, and you booted from a livecd, and did the fsck, and getting a bunch of errors... [12:08] <^A^kira> in #ubuntu-ru [12:08] the first time i booted it was a normal recovery mode type shell. i first did fsck from there [12:08] <[1]electro> ntu [12:08] dude.. [12:08] now im on a live cd and i cant open a shell in any of the partitions. [12:08] you fsck'd while mounted... [12:08] never fsck on a mounted drive. [12:08] that sounds SO wrong [12:08] :P [12:09] but anyway [12:09] i know i know [12:09] and now all the files from my root partition ar in the lost+found folder [12:09] yea well, you could have b0rked because of that. [12:09] simplyubuntu: how the heck did you fsck a live filesystem? [12:09] which apparently you did.. [12:09] didn't fsck predict doom and gloom all over before you pressed "y"? [12:10] yes... it did but i didnt know what else to do [12:10] simplyubuntu: have fun reinstalling [12:10] wow [12:10] Hi, i'm using ubuntu for a while now, and now i have my next problem [12:10] HardDisk but wait [12:11] i managed to copy all the debs from the root partition to my home partition [12:11] you don't have to reinstall per say [12:11] how to find the java jdk [12:11] well the debs aren't that important really. [12:11] now all i need is the selections list to reistall them on the new install [12:12] well HardDisk what do you propose? [12:12] thinking what's your best option.. [12:12] my ubuntu isn't loading very well anymore.. I loads until i see my own background, and some things a loaded(wireless internet icon and the menu, but the menu isn't fully loaded) [12:12] take your time :) [12:12] is the ubuntu a test box? [12:12] I mean got anything important in it? [12:13] I don't really want to give you the easy answer.. === Grapefroot is now known as Changefoot [12:13] but recovering from corrupted data files manually is a bi*ch [12:13] would it be too much trouble if you reinstalled? [12:14] uh HardDisk all my files are in my home partition so the root partition is free of data [12:14] the only trouble would be reinstalling all my programs... ive got a DAMN slow interent connection [12:14] well in that case, I'd backup your home dir then of your files, and reinstall as wols_ mentioned. I know it's not what you want to do.. [12:14] hey everyone, is there someone who can help me test the download speed from a vps? I need someone with a rather fast connection...from another server would be perfect :) [12:14] simplyubuntu, you could have done an aptoncd === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine [12:15] aptoncd? [12:15] basically backs all your debs onto a cd/dvd [12:15] ah stupid of me [12:15] sudo apt-get install aptoncd [12:15] but i got the deps [12:15] debs.. but no selections list [12:15] all i need is that [12:15] well if you have the debs..it isn't a problem then. [12:16] yeah it is because if i just do dpkg -i *.deb then i'll install everything - old and new - bad and good... no? [12:16] that part is easy [12:16] if you want to do it [12:16] can someone help me with installing lxdoom or prboom [12:17] or know where to get help, cause prboom freezes after 5 seconds [12:17] dpkg --get-selections > file [12:17] can i use cnr with kubuntu too ? [12:17] kurt: see the forums for gaming if you dont get an answer here [12:17] then dpkg --set-selections > file on the new installation [12:18] then sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade [12:18] that's all you need there buddy [12:18] kurt: it is beta only--expect breakage [12:18] HardDisk i know [12:18] but for some reason, no matter where i try a shell from, i have no dpkg command [12:19] if i could do that, then i was set [12:19] so you think i better use dosemu with dos doom then ? [12:19] how don't you have a dpkg command? [12:19] and this was a PERFECT feisty install - all the stuff i wanted [12:19] dosbox [12:19] dunno [12:19] to speed up my torrents - do I need to open a port? my downloads are less than half of my uploads... uploading at 100kB/s [12:19] hey guys i have an external hd.. (got it from black friday yeah!) anyway, its in ntfs right now with all my files cause ive been using it with windows. my questions are: a) is it possible to convert to something linux can use w/o losing data and b) how do i get linux to read the external hd.. i plugged it in it didnt do anything haha [12:19] just dont [12:19] kurt, there is doom for linux [12:19] jgoo: www.portforward.com [12:19] i know there is, like lxdoom but i don't manage to get full screen [12:20] hey guys i got this new laptop and i know its intel 950 graphics [12:20] !ntfs-3g | fsanlu [12:20] fsanlu: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [12:20] but ubuntu setup 965 [12:20] HardDisk? [12:20] kurt fiddle with the settings. [12:20] how do i fix it [12:20] simplyubuntu, yea? [12:20] anybody with a fast connection that wants to help me test my download speed? [12:20] don't even know how to enter settings [12:20] anything on the dpkg? [12:20] bazhang, if you keep answering my questions i think i might start paying you :] [12:21] haha [12:21] thanks bazhang [12:21] kurt, other doom ports, http://www.doomworld.com/ports/linux_unix.shtml [12:21] ur like all-knowing and just everywhere hehe thanks, ima read up [12:21] hey guys i got a new laptop and ubuntu installed my graphics as intel 965 but i know the laptop is intel 950 graphics, how do i fix this? [12:21] thanks [12:21] aaaa, dslreports.com [12:22] simplyubuntu, not that I'm aware off, not really much of an ubuntu expert, more rpm suse :) [12:22] HardDisk, thank you, but what I need is someone to download a file from my server [12:22] * Javid has doom on his phone <3 [12:22] simplyubuntu, that's all I know really. [12:22] ha but you've been a great help anyway [12:22] aaaa, why not upload to a public ftp? [12:22] put my mind at ease you did [12:22] sorry bout that mate.

I want to see how fast is that server [12:23] thank you jgoo, will make note the next time we have a doom on portable devices debate. [12:23] Can i change with kde some settings in gnome? [12:23] aaaa, yea you can do that by uploading a test file to a public ftp [12:24] i want to change some appearance settings..' [12:24] but i cannot load gnome [12:24] whats the fastest internet transfer speed ever achieved? [12:24] Steffan: no [12:24] a few gigaflops [12:24] you mean gigabytes per second? [12:24] gnome hangs at startup... [12:25] no [12:25] gigaflops [12:25] floating point operations per second [12:25] faster than gigabytes [12:25] how?!?! and why cant we have that??? [12:25] :) [12:25] bazhang: I already port forwarded for uTorrent - however, my problem is I cannot work out what application is providing BiTtorrent support on ubuntu - it just says 'BitTorrent (default)' and has no UI except for the actual downloads.... :-/ also, do I need to open a port in the software firewall? (which I assume is running) [12:25] because you can't afford it. [12:25] shhh lukewarm_ [12:25] !kde4 fiesty [12:25] mr bazhang, how do i get to read the external hd? thanks for the read/write of the ntfs.. so i plugged in my hd and it still cant read it [12:25] oops [12:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about kde4 fiesty - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:26] hey guys i got a new laptop and ubuntu installed my graphics as intel 965 but i know the laptop is intel 950 graphics, how do i fix this?

[12:27] simplyubuntu: I got 3 Tb / sec on my ipod nano. Oh wait, no. [12:27] fsanlu: you need to mount the hdd I believe [12:27] bazhang how may i go about doing that [12:27] !ot | jgoo [12:27] jgoo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[12:29] simplyubuntu, according to a few swedes I know, yes. [12:29] The FreeBSD installation process can install FreeBSD from files located in any of the following places: [12:29] erp, how do I poll if a service is running? I tried service... I guess CentOs != ubuntu ;-) [12:29] sedes? [12:29] swedes* [12:29] http://pastebin.com/m6a38bf98 [12:30] thats my driver [12:30] but simplyubuntu my link is consumer based. [12:30] what you posted is just in test labs. [12:30] 40 gigabits-per-second a DVD in 2 seconds :) [12:31] true true... so how much would 40gbps run you then? [12:31] how should I know, I barely afford 1mbps :D [12:31] HardDisk, Yeah and her monthly internet bill is probably about 30 Skr [12:31] installing debian-helper-scripts to get 'service' command [12:31] The swedes have always been one step ahead of the phone company., [12:31] pac1, technically yea, since it would be government paid. [12:32] hehe HardDisk [12:32] hello all [12:32] hi. anyone here who managed to install ubuntu on an ibook G4? i need some help... [12:32] A few years ago there was a small residential enclave that brought in one of those small trench diggers and put in fiber. 100mbs back before verizon was even thinking about it. [12:33] from what I know, swedish broadband, approx 70-80% is paid by the govt, and the consumer pays 20-30% [12:33] When I share folders in Feisty and make them public, windows still asks for a password for viewing them [12:33] any hints? [12:33] so when a swede tells you 100mbps costs them peanuts, that's why. [12:33] <[1]electro> hii all merry xmas :) [12:33] is x11vnc broken in gutsy?

[12:44] simplyubuntu, since mint is ubuntu modded. [12:44] Bonzodog its a long story.. my mint install screwed up my ubuntu install and i want to get a list of the packages installed in ubuntu from ming [12:44] moint [12:44] Hi. How do I get Croatian spellchecking in OpenOffice? [12:45] Bonzodog, no not that method we're doing dpkg [12:45] HardDisk, a list of my UBUNTU packages from mint.... kooky i know [12:45] hey there [12:45] you do the same for mint.. === like|idle is now known as likewise [12:46] Andeh, http://support.openoffice.org/index.html [12:46] HardDisk: no, I get whats he's saying...he's in Mint, but need to see his ubuntu install package list [12:46] yea [12:46] Andeh i think u have to download the croatian package language with synaptic [12:46] thats not possible if not booted into ubuntu [12:47] ah my bad [12:47] misunderstanding there [12:47] unless you looks at /var/packages (??) [12:47] there is a package cache in ubuntu [12:47] HardDisk, why used aptitude for? [12:48] HardDisk, isnt apt-get is easier? [12:48] just another alternative to apt-get [12:48] I use apt-get, some like aptitude [12:48] if he can see the ubuntu directories, he could browse to the cache and just look using a file manager or ls [12:48] HardDisk, but that doenst solve the issue. [12:48] but did you enable the repo's as I told you? [12:48] what repo? [12:48] and what is the error? [12:48] see you don't read [12:48] Bonzodog i can browse to the cache [12:48] ive even copied the debs [12:49] HardDisk, u mean the main, multiuniverse repo ? [12:49] enable all five in your sources list, then sudo apt-get update [12:49] HardDisk, yes, all enabled. [12:49] all i need is the install list to tell me new install what and what not to install [12:49] know what i mean? [12:49] so what's the error? [12:49] Bonzodog? [12:49] hello. [12:49] hi [12:49] simplyubuntu: unless booted into ubuntu, thats not possible [12:50] Question: I run Xubuntu and just installed OpenOffice. It's using a hideous Windows 9X like theme, and enormous fonts. How do I change that? [12:50] i am trying to install Windows XP using QEmu [12:50] can any one recomend an easy to use website downloader [12:50] i am following this tutorial.. [12:50] ok HardDisk can we get the ubuntu working for ONE time only? [12:50] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [12:50] geoaxis, use firefox's plugin downthemall [12:50] My updater run of 7.10/x86 yesterday (which included a new kernel) breaks my desktop; the menu bar is gone and the window manager is broken. I had Compiz disabled. Sound familiar to anyone? [12:50] Andeh you can also use abiword for xubuntu like me ;) [12:50] HardDisk, pasted in private [12:50] simplyubuntu, possible, but personally I don't know what the extent of the damage is [12:51] cyzie, why'd you paste in private, that's what pastebin is for. [12:51] what do you need to know? [12:51] I am trying to install Windows XP virtually using QEmu. I am following this tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo [12:51] I need some guidance :) [12:51] HardDisk, link ? [12:51] I work poorly remotely.. [12:51] cyzie, topic ^^ [12:51] lol [12:51] GHOST: Heh. Okay then, my friend is a journalist in Croatia and needs any word processor that has croatian spellcheck support. I already installed the spellcheck support packages, will Abiword know how to use them? Cause his laptop is rather low end, I dont want to run OO unless I have to. [12:51] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [12:51] ares623: you don't understand the tutorial? [12:51] ah should i fsck it and dpkg -i *.deb on the new install? [12:52] Can I see PDFs from Firefox without installing Adobe PDF Reader? [12:52] simplyubuntu, well..it's not what I would do to be quite honest, you could and any dependancies will be asked for. [12:52] HardDisk, but do you have solution for that or u just like to paste it in pastebin ? [12:52] cyzie, it's the rules. [12:52] ok so what do you recommend? [12:52] at step 10, when creating the virtual drive, i get a formatting error [12:52] HardDisk, alright. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49528/ [12:52] the final verdict... [12:52] HardDisk, then have a look there.. [12:53] simplyubuntu, install ubuntu, then before you install the debs, I'd cross reference for updated ones. [12:53] gutsy updated ones obviously. [12:53] ares623: you might be best asking this one on the forums [12:53] sounds complicated... how would i do that? [12:53] Andeh Its okay abiword can easily translate most of european language like openoffice [12:53] cyzie, I'm not being ass, it's the rules, so anyone can see it and help you, I'm not god [12:53] oh ok. thanks Bonzodog [12:53] Andeh Its okay abiword can easily translate most of european language like openoffice [12:53] Andeh Its okay abiword can easily translate most of european language like openoffice [12:53] HardDisk, very well, but it is pasted in the pastebin. [12:53] uopz sry :s [12:54] lol [12:54] lol [12:54] for some reason i can see my external hd in "computer" but it keeps telling me "cannot mount" :( [12:54] i didnt sleep yesterday! [12:54] fsanlu, why not ? [12:54] cyzie, what version of ubuntu do you have? [12:54] HardDisk, gutsy [12:54] you positive? [12:54] czyie i do not know. it jus says "cannot mount" wen i try to mount it [12:54] cyzie, was this an upgrade? [12:54] fsanlu: what kind of error does it give you? just cannot mount? [12:54] fsanlu, mount it as root. u have the go there [12:54] GHOST: Question: The laptop in question is retarded. The cd drive is so old, it makes errors reading perfectly clean disks and I failed installing Windows, Linux or anything else. Help? [12:54] HardDisk! anticipation!!!! [12:54] HardDisk, yes. === asanchez is now known as alejandro [12:55] Lilacor, yes it just says cannot mount [12:55] "Cannot mount volume" Unable to mount frank media [12:55] simplyubuntu, I picked the easiest solution for you. [12:55] yep yep but how to cross ref? [12:55] cyzie how do i go about doing that? [12:55] simplyubuntu, basically by going to the repositories themselves. [12:56] cyzie, you got broken packages [12:56] cyzie, sudo apt-get install -f [12:56] and tell me what you get [12:56] aargh sounds like it would take ages... there are 161 packages [12:56] GHOST: Also, how do I get Abiword to spellcheck croatian? The spellcheck option is grayed out even for english! [12:56] Andeh hum i think you can use a usb key to install or try with downloading [12:57] GHOST: Lol... [12:57] fsanlu: use gksudo nautilus and then try to mount it [12:57] Andeh wait i searchin 4 u in synaptic [12:57] I installed Emerald Theme Manager, I can run it and I also imported a theme from gnome-look.org, but it doesn't change nothing! It doesn't have any apply button or anything [12:57] Thanks :P [12:57] how can I change my theme?! [12:57] Andeh lol [12:57] hold on [12:58] GHOST: I am scanning the Xubuntu CD for defects [12:58] Andeh ok [12:58] To make sure it's not my retarded laptops fault [12:58] ;p [12:58] Andeh, sudo apt-get install openoffice.org2-l10n- and find out your country language [12:58] Andeh yep [12:58] e.g. openoffice.org2-l10n-de for german [12:59] GHOST: openoffice.org-l10n-hr is already the newest version. [12:59] -fr for french [12:59] Now how I get Abiword to use it? [12:59] Hey, i can't seam to get my ubuntu 7.10 to update itselv [12:59] self* [12:59] Andeh sry but i dontuse open office :s [12:59] i just installed it from a original cd [12:59] did you do openoffice.org2-thesaurus- ? [13:00] GHOST: Neither do I. I use Abiword. But how do i get Abiword to spellcheck croatian? [13:00] and openoffice.org-l10n-hr [13:00] you have to have those too [13:00] Andehwait im searchin... [13:00] I GOT IT TO WORK! yes.. [13:00] HardDisk, try the -f before, wont work. [13:00] I have sound in xmms but not when i play of a movie. Yes the movie does work... what can i do ? [13:00] and openoffice.org-spellcheck- [13:00] Package openoffice.org2-thesaurus-hr is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source [13:01] cyzie, what is the error when you did that? cause it seems you have other issues [13:01] E: Package openoffice.org2-thesaurus-hr has no installation candidate [13:01] Andeh i think theres no languages support for abiword [13:01] message Could not open/initalize audio device -> no sound.... [13:01] HardDisk, the error pasted in pastebin. [13:01] but i got sound in xmms. [13:01] VMWare Server is free right? what does the "Server" suffix mean? [13:01] HardDisk, what other issue are you talking ? [13:01] GHOST: So I am stuck with OO. Now how do I get OO to use croatian spellcheck? [13:01] will I be able to run Windows without Server stuff? [13:02] Andeh im searchin for u [13:02] ;p [13:02] Andeh lol [13:02] message Could not open/initalize audio device -> no sound... but i got sound in xmms etc. what is the solution for this?. [13:02] cyzie, sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/status [13:02] Andeh normally u should be able to find it... [13:02] D:<<<< [13:03] STUPID LAPTOP! [13:03] cyzie, then run sudo dpkg --configure -a [13:03] Andeh lol! [13:03] It gets 95% through installing Xubuntu. "Disk read error. Aborting setup" [13:03] !sound | sulle [13:03] sulle: 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).

[13:06] Andeh i think there crotian language but im searnin one the net! [13:06] does anyone know if its possible to show transfer speed on the file copy dialogue? [13:06] _Pengo, use your onw pass [13:06] it should work [13:06] <_Pengo> i tried that [13:06] Andeh lol [13:06] GHOST: I don't need the packs, I need someone who knows how to enable them! [13:06] Andeh i dont now ;) [13:06] D:<< [13:06] just use sudo -i [13:06] _Pengo ubuntu uses sudo normally. not su. i thought it sucked at first but now i think it's better. [13:07] <_Pengo> i tried the password for my ubuntu account that it setup [13:07] Andeh anyone help! [13:07] <_Pengo> btw whats up with flashplayer, it don't work from synaptic [13:07] _Pengo: have you tried a blank password? [13:07] <_Pengo> md5 mismatch [13:07] <_Pengo> yah i tried enter [13:07] <_Pengo> no good either [13:07] cyzie, I assume your dpkg status is corrupted from your message, hence the command I told you to do afterwards [13:07] cyzie, then run sudo dpkg --configure -a [13:08] Andeh take a look http://manual.sidux.com/meta-manual/en/mp-l-language-en.htm [13:08] _Pengo: as far a I know the root password is the same as your user password [13:08] Lilacor it was just unmounter improperly when i had windows... -__- [13:08] <_Pengo> i'm just trying to get the flashplayer installed so i can view flash content in firefox, synaptic fails to install it so i've downloaded the rpm from the website and now need to install that but need su rights [13:08] i once tried to install java-doc-5 and java-doc-6 from synaptic y last installation was like this in synaptictand it failed But I still see those errors since that installation during each installation. What the problem can be. for example m [13:08] HardDisk, alright./ [13:08] Lilacor i guess i learned my lesson the hard way, but thanks for the input. [13:08] _Pengo: can't you use sudo? [13:08] _Pengo read the topic [13:08] Ah, another question: Firefox told me I need additional plugins to view flash content, so I told it to install them. It did. Then it said i still need additional plugins, and when it tries to install I get a message telling me I already have them. Help? [13:09] fsanlu: it's handy to have a win32 VM around just for that purpose [13:09] my last installation was like this in synaptic [13:09] HardDisk, same error. [13:09] how do i run nautilus at startup, i think it isn't running [13:09] Andeh: Which plugin did you install? [13:09] GHOST: I told you, I already installed them. [13:09] quick question: Can I play 3D games on VMWare? [13:09] When you choose to install the croatian spellcheck, it installs ALL OF THEM. [13:09] <_Pengo> oh right thanks [13:09] Lilacor yes i see the importance in that. im glad im at hoem where the rest of my family has windows lol [13:09] ares623: yes but on a very limited and experimental basis [13:09] hmm, it does run [13:09] Andeh, read the topic [13:09] ares623: Yeah, really slowly [13:09] i once tried to install java-doc-5 and java-doc-6 from synaptic and it failed But I still see those errors since that installation during each installation. What the problem can be. for example [13:10] ares623, no. [13:10] ares623: you can but it probably will be very slow so now worth it, try dual booting [13:10] ah ok. but the game isn't really that graphics heavy [13:10] i think [13:10] ares623: what game? [13:10] <_Pengo> i guess i called use sudo [13:10] some MMORPG. my brother plays it a lot [13:10] can't do directx [13:10] larson9999: Tell it to #Openoffice.org [13:10] i once tried to install java-doc-5 and java-doc-6 from synaptic and it failed But I still see those errors since that installation during each installation. What the problem can be. for example my last installation was like this in synaptic [13:10] but i'm not switching to Windows for it [13:10] <_Pengo> but then, i should still be allowed to go su on my own system right? [13:10] ares623, you're better off doing it in wine first. [13:10] : [13:10] :P [13:10] Andeh sry i dont now :( [13:10] ares623: try wine? [13:10] larson9999: They seem to be in deep sleep. [13:10] tried wine.. doesn't run [13:11] cedega? [13:11] ares623: you might be able to use cedega [13:11] http://www.nopaste.com/p/ajiiNhx7A [13:11] Meh. It shouldn't be this hard. [13:11] cant find nothin [13:11] what is that? [13:11] ares623: try using vmware with experimental 3d [13:11] Andeh yea [13:11] commercial version of wine [13:11] ares623: cedega is commercialized wine [13:11] !cedega [13:11] Hi... any one know why creating a .tar.gz of a 20MB directory tree leads to a 300MB+ file...? [13:11] so not free? [13:11] cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega [13:11] Andeh, are you talking about the flash issue? [13:11] So can someone at least tell me how I can configure GNOME programs to NOT USE ENORMOUS FONT SIZES? I am running Xubuntu. [13:11] it always waits me to abort java-doc-5 and 6 installation [13:11] i'm looking for something free. VMWare Server/Player is free I heard. [13:11] Andeh mayby there a channel for openoffice user [13:11] ares623, and virtualbox. [13:11] GHOST: Yeah there is. Everybody in it is dead though. [13:12] lol [13:12] ares623: yes..so long as you have the VM already it's easy! [13:12] virtualbox doesn't even try using the videocard [13:12] so no luck there. [13:12] Andeh: go to youtube, when viewing a video it will want you to install a plugin, install the adobe flah plugin and it should work [13:12] Andeh try "OpenOffice.org For Dummies" [13:12] don't see the point of playing games in vmware, since they are workstation applications. [13:12] ares623: I'd recommend a dual boot for that. [13:12] i say, "if you can't get your game on in linux, you have priority issues." [13:12] if you want games, play it natively. [13:12] vishal: I already HAVE flash installed, each time firefox prompts me to install it, I get an error telling me I have it already. [13:13] Andeh: Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling? [13:13] But no flash content works, I get a big white box ADDITIONAL PLUGINS NEEDED. [13:13] as lilacor said, dualboot. [13:13] vishal: No. What package do i need to reinstall? [13:13] Andeh i got the same prob [13:13] or use a native alternative. [13:13] hundreds of mmporg's out there [13:13] each one just as endless as the last [13:13] Andeh: When I tried to use flash, i install the adobe flash plugin and it works without any problems [13:14] agreed Lilacor [13:14] GHOST: Heh. Support in this channel is getting worse and worse. [13:14] and... if you want more linux games, play and buy only linux games. kinda simple [13:14] Dual Boot seems to be the best option huh.. maybe I'll just limit it to 5GB [13:14] why didn't i think of that [13:14] same thing essentialy [13:14] thanks guys.. dualboot seems good [13:14] :) [13:14] Andeh, this is voluntary, if you don't like it leave. [13:14] ares623: I'd stick with 10GB === swEeT_9aLz is now known as alone_boys [13:14] Andeh this because of xmas :) [13:14] ares623: you'll get screwed on space if you go for 5 [13:14] Andeh, no one is being paid to help. [13:14] Andeh, are you trying to use flash in firefox? [13:14] wait im serching! [13:14] ares623: you;d need at least 10gb [13:14] so appreciate it, say thank you, and merry effing xmas [13:15] I have tremulous installed. not great. lol.. Nexuiz is what i'm gonna try next [13:15] hate MMO's [13:15] I don't want to install sun-java6-doc sun-java5-doc [13:15] ok. 10GB sounds good [13:15] anymore [13:15] how should i get rid of [13:15] ares623, gridwars, alien arena, urban terror, enemy territory, warsow, tonnes more :) [13:15] just don't want to give too much space [13:15] larson9999: Yes, and trying to find someone who knows how to enable spellchecking in OO. [13:15] How can I repair my desktop? I can only get into the terminal session correctly... [13:15] such these permenant messages [13:15] tried enemy territory, too hard to join a game [13:16] http://www.nopaste.com/p/ajiiNhx7A [13:16] hehe [13:16] ? [13:16] HardDisk: Good thing, that. [13:16] likewise, dpkg --reconfigure xserver-xorg [13:16] soroush: uninstal via apt-get [13:16] yeah gridwars.. i played that. f'ing awesome [13:16] Enemy territory rocks [13:16] YEA! [13:16] Andeh: have you tried #openoffice? [13:16] HardDisk: thanks, will try that. [13:16] Its an awesome game [13:16] sudo first. [13:16] lilacor: Yes. And #Openoffice.org [13:16] They're all dead. [13:16] Andeh, as i said, the topic addresses flash. don't know about spell checker. has always been enable for me. [13:16] nobody answer :( [13:17] larson9999: In croatian? [13:17] i keep getting disconnected while joining games [13:17] keeps downloading stuff and never finishes [13:17] :) [13:17] Sure. [13:17] lol [13:17] Andeh: what's the problem with flash? I visit a site with flash, it asks me to install the plugin..It installs automatically [13:17] soroush: sudo apt-get remove [13:17] ares623 yeah lots of people put junk on their servers, come at play at my server === disposable is now known as dworkin [13:17] ares623: visit www.bcclan.com and the ip address is at the top [13:17] Andeh: it shouild be pointed out that not all functions within flash work 100% with the linux version of flash unfortunately [13:17] Lilacor: Same thing, Except then it says I dont have flash installed, asks me to install it again. When I do that, It gives me an error, It says I already HAVE flash. [13:17] w4ett, thanks . ii'll test it now [13:17] vishal thanks.. I think i might have low ping though [13:17] is that ok? [13:18] soro np [13:18] Andeh mayby try an other web browser like epiphany or konqueror [13:18] Lilacor: I alro tried GNASH, and that worked. Although youtube videos are totally screwed up. [13:18] <_Pengo> ok my password works if i install stuff and it needs admin privledges i guess its doing sudo [13:18] Andeh: what browser? [13:18] Andeh, i think i'm getting a hint on why support for you is so poor in here. [13:18] <_Pengo> but if i try to su it doesn't accept the same password [13:18] Lilacor: Firefox. [13:18] Andeh: just firefox? [13:18] ares623: the lower the ping the better, the server is somewhere in america, i think chicago or something [13:18] Andeh: 3b2? or just 2.0.0.11? [13:18] Yes. Just firefox. [13:18] i mean i think i have HIGH ping [13:18] Andeh i have the same prob with firefox [13:18] hehe [13:18] 2.0.0.11 [13:18] ares623: i ping approx 130 on there [13:18] larson9999: Um. Why is support for me so poor in here? [13:19] ares623: as long as your not over 300 you should be fine [13:19] hey its holidays! [13:19] ok.. so how do I connect to a specific IP address in et? [13:19] Lol. The GNASH player is horrible :D [13:19] ares623: and if you dont warp around then its even better, where abouts are you from? [13:19] Andeh: it's late in the country where the largest userbase is [13:19] Andeh how are you installing flash? [13:19] yep [13:19] Andeh: well..actually very early for most of us [13:19] larson9999: Through firefox. [13:19] i'm halfway across the world. Philippines [13:20] it's xmas here btw.. [13:20] <_Pengo> andeh: that doesn't work [13:20] im french! [13:20] merry xmas everyone! [13:20] Andeh, like i said READ THJS CHANNEL'S TOPIC [13:20] ;) [13:20] Andeh: have you uninstalled flash? === diafic is now known as di[a]fic [13:20] Andeh: Christmas morning here in North America...sun is just rising [13:20] <_Pengo> where it autodownloads flash from it fails the md5sum check [13:20] ares623: when you load then game and get into the main menu, press the "`" key, its on the left of number 1 to bring up the console, and the type in /connect ,IP.# [13:20] larson9999: This is the ubuntu support channel. Firefox installing flash works everywhere, except on ubuntu. Ubuntu problem. [13:20] Andeh: "Adobe Flash plugin installation is currently broken, see « /msg ubotu flash " [13:21] ares623: oops, its /connect so /connect et.bcclan.com [13:21] Lilacor: Yes, and reinstalled it. Then suddenly GNASH started working, if you can call what it does "working". [13:21] ah ok [13:21] Andeh sudo apt_get install flashplugin-nonfree? [13:21] thanks [13:21] :P [13:21] i'll try it right now [13:21] :) [13:21] ares623: you'll have a few downloads but not that many [13:21] Andeh, the topic addresses the flash issue in plain english: Adobe Flash plugin installation is currently broken, see « /msg ubotu flash » [13:21] GHOST: I told you already. I have it installed, yet firefox thinks I don't. [13:21] ares623: only one that might scare you is a 20mb file but its an awesome map [13:21] larson: Oh. My screen doesnt go that far. [13:21] <_Pengo> andeh: you don't have it installed [13:22] ares623: hopefully the server isnt empty, [13:22] _Pengo: Meh. [13:22] <_Pengo> andeh: if you are downloading it via synaptic or via firefox [13:22] <_Pengo> it will download it, run a md5sum check and it will faill but the system thinks its installed but it is not [13:22] _Pengo: Well i tried adobe.com, the RPM, and that didnt work either. [13:22] Hmm. [13:22] Thanks then. [13:22] Andeh: I'd use the straight tar ball [13:22] Andeh get plugin via firefox extentions [13:22] ares623: there is one person online so you should be ok, especial when your getting used to the game [13:22] Andeh, and you don't know irc enough to show the topic? why not ask how to read the topic when i suggested you read the topic repeatedly? [13:22] Lilacor: The what? [13:23] Andeh: tar.gz file [13:23] tar.gz for ubuntu [13:23] Does anyone know how to get the file transfer speed on the file copy dialogue? [13:23] <_Pengo> lilacor: how will the tar file know where to install the plugin? [13:23] rpm is for mandriva [13:23] larson9999: I have a 24 inch monitor at font size 8 and the topic still doesnt fit in the screen. There is no way to show the rest except reszing and moving the window several times, which is so stupid i didnt think of it immediately. [13:23] _Pengo: it doesn't - you read the README file and then install it yourself. [13:23] <_Pengo> great [13:23] lol [13:24] <_Pengo> that means editing files [13:24] <_Pengo> so much easier on windows [13:24] <_Pengo> :P [13:24] Um, why doesn't someone make an update that fixes it? [13:24] Andeh, asking over and over how to fix something that's addressed in a channel's topic doesn't win points when asking for help :) [13:24] larson9999: :) :) [13:24] ;) [13:24] D: [13:24] O.0 [13:24] _Pengo: nobody is forcing you to use Ubuntu. [13:24] <_Pengo> thats the spirit [13:24] Lilacor: Windows is :) [13:24] <_Pengo> :| [13:24] TRY DESKTOP BSD [13:25] This room is now officially awesome. [13:25] lol [13:25] <_Pengo> i just want to it work, i expect more from linux [13:25] hehe [13:25] *krhm* [13:25] _Pengo: Linux is still very young as a desktop OS, please understand that and be patient with its associated fits and conniptions. [13:25] _Pengo: Ah, at last. Someone I can ask. How do i enable spellchecking in another language in OO? I already installed the spellcheck packages, now how do I get OO to USE them? [13:25] Does anyone know how to get xchat to make a noise when someone posts a message? I host a quiet room and I need an alert when someone speaks lol [13:26] freebsd since 1970 [13:26] Lilacor: Yeah, only 17 years old D: [13:26] RebateFX: isn't there some kind of notification-preferences? [13:26] lol [13:26] RebateFX: go to preference and then plugins, enable the sound notificaton and then restart [13:26] RebateFX: configured the plugins and you should get a notification when someone messages you. [13:26] How to set up GPG keys on Ubuntu? [13:26] So, has nobody here EVER used OO in another language? [13:27] Shocking! [13:27] only on windows :p [13:27] Andeh: Hmm I use. === di[a]fic is now known as diafic [13:27] Slart, vishal, Lilacor. Thanks. I did that, but I mean for general chat messages. My PC should be beeping like mad in a room like this one :) [13:27] Andeh: 2007 was the year when Linux as a desktop OS really came into view. [13:27] lilacor: It was 2006 for me :P [13:27] yup [13:27] Andeh: let me see what I do. :P [13:27] And coming from a 13 year old, that means a lot :P [13:27] 1997 for me [13:27] heh [13:27] 2007 [13:27] RebateFX: so you want it to beep for every message sent in the channel?

[13:28] vishal: yes :) [13:28] lol @ andeh [13:28] Andeh: You just want to add another language for spellchecker other than English, right? [13:28] RebateFX: If I remember right, cats go "BEEeeeEeP" right? [13:28] tmjb: what kernel version does your dapper se? [13:28] Lunks: Yes [13:28] *use [13:28] gotta play games cya :) [13:28] Lol [13:28] Byezs [13:28] Hi folks. [13:28] lol [13:28] most people still don't know about the existence of linux but that is changing as major vendors are picking up the OS for various uses. [13:29] i say try to many of the freely available things you can do in linux in windows and it doesn't take long before one realizes it's windows that's a pain. [13:29] Lilacor, you mean ubuntu [13:29] Andeh: They do if you make them eat a telephone [13:29] <_Pengo> Andeh: i don't use OO I just use Google's office apps. [13:29] RebateFX: I cant see anything, erm you might need to edit the plugin to beep for all message or something [13:29] HardDisk: no, unfortunately, linux [13:29] Andeh: look for myspell-* packages [13:29] hello all. need some help with a partiton. [13:29] cauz linux is free of charge=no profit [13:29] cant figure out how to mount it [13:29] RebateFX: Hmm... I wonder if you could keep the wires connected, and then call it... [13:29] vishal: Yeah. I could try :) Thanks [13:29] If anyone knows what module (driver w/e) does Ubuntu load for external firewire cd roms (drives) PLEASE PM me :) Thanks alot [13:29] HardDisk: ask the average person.. "Huh? is that some new kind of blender?" [13:29] gparted says its there [13:29] <_Pengo> Andeh:I only use OO to recover word apps for customers at work [13:29] shows it [13:29] Lilacor, due to community, digg, slashdot, PR it's ubuntu that brought linux into 2007. [13:29] Lunks: I already installed all that. How do i tell OO to USE it? [13:29] but i cant find it in my computer [13:29] GHOST, that's not true. plenty of companies make a profit from linux [13:30] Andeh: Let me check. You already installed a myspell package? [13:30] larson9999: Like microsof [13:30] xD [13:30] HardDisk: yes but it's still not in plain view of the average joe. [13:30] Lunks: Yes. [13:30] Lilacor, don't forget Dell's introduction to ubuntu onto it's desktop/laptop line. [13:30] Andeh: I'll just use my linksys skype phone that doesn't work in linux and just page it using the base ;) [13:30] hey tats true [13:30] Can anyone provide please help... :( [13:30] and Dell IS infront of the average joe.

[13:30] meh [13:30] RebateFX: Try install the Notification plugin, restart, then under the notification menu, select on all messages and restart again? [13:30] HardDisk: I can't stress how much Mark Shuttleworth has done for the Linux OS as a desktop system. [13:30] RebateFX: Hmm. Maybe you could sandpaper your alarmclock, coat it in jelly and set it for 13 AM? [13:30] :o [13:30] don't stress, you'll pop a vein. [13:30] ;D [13:30] lol [13:31] HardDisk: we'd all be still banging our heads against walls without him [13:31] Anyone: firewire module [13:31] I disagree. [13:31] but we can talk it over next door. [13:31] Andeh: on spellcheck, just select the language you want [13:31] shuttleworth / [13:31] Lunks: Um. I'll try that [13:31] move along to #ubuntu-offtopic with non-support chatter, please [13:31] shuttleworth / [13:31] ????? [13:31] is there a opendsd channel?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [13:32] Morning Myrtti [13:32] Lunks: How do i tell it to use croatian? I chose Croatian as the main language, typed some croatian words and some random letters. Spellcheck is complete, it says the random letters are valid croatian words. [13:32] hmm weird [13:32] hang on [13:33] Jack_Sparrow hi there :) [13:33] change ur dictionarylaguage notur os [13:33] Question: What module/driver does Ubuntu or Kubuntu use to access the firewire external drives?

[13:33] Jack_Sparrow: moin [13:33] morgen [13:33] gives em a bad impression eh :) [13:33] vishal: I'm not sure you can.. afaik === hume_ is now known as hume [13:34] hello [13:34] Question: What module/driver does Ubuntu or Kubuntu use to access the firewire external drives? My cd rom (firewire) only work with Ubuntu and Fedora. [13:34] HardDisk: thanks, I'm up and running again. [13:34] question: is there much difference in performance between a P3 and a P2 for ubuntu on a notebook? [13:34] confuded: are you having trouble using your cdrom drive? [13:34] np dude [13:34] i want to configure the x1100 series printer [13:34] finn, main thing is ram. [13:34] Lilacor, yes and no [13:34] Yep, morning to all, Slart, HardDisk, ghost et al..... [13:34] finn, and obviously yes, if the mhz is significant. [13:34] the 2 computers I am investigating both have 256 mb ram [13:34] Lunks: Hmm. The machine I plan to use is very low end. Do you know how to enable spellcheck in Abiword instead of OO? [13:34] can any one help me finding test king LPI 101 (117-101 ) to test linux ? [13:34] confuded: once a minute gets a bit annoying.. try waiting 5 minutes or so beween repeating the questions.. [13:35] lo jacky [13:35] Slart, ok [13:35] well the p3 is 450 mhz [13:35] haven't slept yet myself. [13:35] morning Jack_Sparrow [13:35] shouldnt drink that much yesterday... [13:35] dont know how to install and configure it ? i dont have the installation disk! [13:35] Andeh: found it [13:35] gonna pull an all nighter again [13:35] hm [13:35] Lunks::D [13:35] Andeh: I've never used Abiword, but I've found on OO [13:35] hey [13:35] maybe it can help you, anyway [13:35] Okay then [13:35] Slart: KK thanks, I used another distro before i used ubuntu and it had it on there, though it was pretty cool [13:35] tools/options [13:35] language/language [13:35] hey [13:35] whoops [13:35] MS Office 2007 FTW [13:35] tifine: what brand is the printer? [13:36] language settings/writing aids [13:36] Lunks: Language settings/???? [13:36] hunspell, click edit [13:36] Andeh: double click it [13:36] slart: lexmark x1100 series [13:36] so can I presume that a P3 450 mhz with 256 mb ram will operate smoothly? [13:36] Andeh: it'll show 'writing aids' [13:36] finn: that is pretty marginal... [13:36] Lunks: YES!!!! [13:36] WOO [13:37] the laptop costs $25 :P [13:37] Croatian spellcheck support yaa! [13:37] lol finaly :) [13:37] Awesome! now can I get abiword to do this? [13:37] Quesuion: Anyone know where I can find the booting devices when running live CD, meaning the list of modules: SCSI drive, USB, firewire etc... [13:37] Andeh: try it =P [13:37] i know a P2 400 mhz was slow as molassess :( [13:37] tifine: hmm.. lexmark usually is pretty bad with linux support.. you could look at www.linuxprinting.org . Check if it's supported by cups [13:37] confuded: lsmod? === cryxen_ is now known as cryxen [13:38] Myrtti, whats that? [13:38] Myrtti, is that the firewire module? [13:38] finn: a little extra ram in that would make a world of difference [13:38] a command to type on your terminal [13:38] finn, yes you may want to install with alternative cd and/or xubuntu [13:38] Myrtti, to do what? [13:38] Anyone know how I can speed up the load time on ubuntu? [13:38] note "may" [13:38] to see which modules have been loaded [13:39] Just a very quick question: Typing in Abiword is laggy. I have a very high end computer and even typing in OO is not laggy. Why is typing in Abiword laggy? [13:39] Myrtti, oh ok thanks... [13:39] vishal, there are tonnes of tips on google to "tweak ubuntu" [13:39] is ram cheap for such an old laptop?? [13:39] finn: If you have trouble installing, go into the cmos/bios and set the video to use a minimum amount of shared memory [13:39] Myrtti, oh ok thanks...I'll try that when I get a chance... [13:39] finn, depending on where you are in the world. [13:39] I thought it was impossible to open those things to install new ram..... [13:39] and whether you will purchase locally or online. [13:39] ok... [13:40] try to do the research. [13:40] tifine: seems it is supported.. http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-X1100 [13:40] HardDisk: Thanks, will look on that, its takes quite a while compared to windows [13:40] it never hurts to do your own researching. [13:40] Does anyone here ever use Abiword? [13:40] Slart: okie let me check [13:40] Andeh: sometimes [13:40] finn: I was shocked at the cost of old ram.. it was way more than I expected... [13:40] Andeh, no sorry, Ooo for me. [13:40] anyone use a 3ware 7506 card ? [13:41] Slart: Is Abiword usually laggy? [13:41] yeah, I feared that :( [13:41] Andeh: not that I've noticed [13:41] Andeh: i've used abiword a bit, and i found it way fast [13:41] Ah [13:41] does anyone here know how to get an USB flashdrive to always mount in the same location during boot, without gnome-volume-manager or some such thing ? [13:41] atleast, compared to OO [13:41] polz: put the uuid of the usb stick into your fstab [13:41] actually, just fast compared to anything [13:41] Jack_Sparrow, try rimm! i nearly fell over from shock. [13:42] hey [13:42] polz: have you tried adding it to /etc/fstab using the uid-nbr of the drive as devicename? [13:42] How do I start XFWM4? [13:42] I'm running emerald in compiz [13:42] Hello, Is it possible to install Ubuntu to an USB-Stick and boot Ubuntu from the USB-Stick on a Computer which has WinXP installed?

[13:43] Yick: one sec [13:43] pendrivelinux.com will have some helpful info on doing that [13:43] polz: it didn't work? then.. well.. perhaps look at the udev rules.. somewhere in /etc/udev [13:43] any way to get some sort of file manager in framebuffer ? [13:43] Thanks agian :) [13:43] np [13:43] orbisvicis: midnight commander is popular [13:43] does anyone know dow ubuntu 6.06 LTS work with ICH9 controler ? ?? [13:43] oh.. framebuffer... nevermind [13:44] check it out [13:44] ty [13:44] Slart: actually, it mounts fine during startup... [13:44] look like the ubuntu server edition is not very much Long Term Support [13:45] for newer computer is much better to use some thing like 7.10 [13:45] Slart: the next question would be... how do I get it to properly re-mount after my computer returns from suspend ? [13:46] polz: ah.. suspend.. I don't even know what happens during a suspend.. even less about how things are setup when it wakes up again [13:47] Hibernate/suspend still seems to have issues [13:47] polz: if you ask me, it should figure that stuff out itself.. without user intervention.. but from what I understand, not much does =/ [13:48] polz: If you have the uuid in fstab the mount should not be an issue [13:48] Slart: from where i download the driver ? [13:48] tifine: it isn't available from the repos? [13:49] Slart: repos ? [13:50] tifine: repositories.. the same place you install most software from in ubuntu.. apt-get and synaptic get their stuff from the repositories [13:50] Slart: okie is there anyway that i can get the lexmark x1100 series driver [13:50] tmjb: Did you have a question about LTS and non-LTS releases [13:50] hmm.. how exactly do the drives get mounted under /media, anyway ? [13:51] errr, i couldn't get samba working because of a type-o in the tute i was reading :) [13:51] tifine: hang on..

[13:56] Slart- yeah, GRUB [13:56] Belboz99: If you boot the installcd will it then boot to the first hard drive [13:57] olli: NO usb sticks etc? [13:57] one usb-stick [13:57] olli: then do something like from www.pendrivelinux.com [13:57] 256 mb [13:58] Condoulo: (hd0,4) would be the 4th partition on the first harddrive I think.. you might want to check the grub documentation to be sure though [13:58] Slart: that is #5 [13:58] Slart- is there a way to check to make sure? [13:58] Biohazard: sda [13:58] Belboz99: sda [13:58] olli: 4GB pen drives can be had cheap these days [13:58] Slart: afaik that would be the 4th part. [13:58] Slart: Sorry. my bad [13:58] Condoulo: (hd1,1) would be the first partition on the second hard drive [13:58] oops, what Jack_Sparrow said. [13:58] unfortunately it's a bank-holiday in germany [13:59] olli, i got mine for $40 about 3 months ago [13:59] Jack_Sparrow,i read in this blog about new support for added support for some ICH8/ICH8-M/ICH9 IDE and SATA controllers http://hyip-man.blogspot.com/ looks like only way for me is 7.10 [13:59] ok.. I think hard drives start at hd0 and partitions at 1.. everyone agree? =) [13:59] brb, going to do a re-boot. See if my GRUB edit worked. [13:59] Slart: that's (hd1,0) [13:59] Slart: no [13:59] hd0,0 is sda1 [13:59] Slart: haha [13:59] and both are partitions [13:59] ok. o_O Will everyone stop confusing me [13:59] MOrning wols [14:00] Greetings, all.

I've probably got to install something, but I'm not sure if it's ALSA or something else. Could someone please help me? Thanks in advance. [14:00] sorry Jack_Sparrow: wrong blog [14:00] good afternoon [14:00] so, I should install grub to 0,4? [14:00] Condoulo: as I said.. check the documentation.. =) [14:00] !sound | kksm19820117 [14:00] !Grub [14:00] alsi is right [14:00] kksm19820117: 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).

[14:00] the thing is, I have grub working fine [14:00] wols_, Thank you. [14:01] it just hangs at the splash screen [14:01] I've got an idea! what about booting from a 256 pen drive and doing a network install from my laptop [14:01] that might work [14:01] if I disable splash, I see it gets to a part where it complains about my chipset, and then it tries loading the cdrom driver, and then fails, leaving me at a terminal [14:01] Belboz99: disable the "quiet" from menu.lst and the bootsplash so you see what's going on [14:02] Belboz99: error messages please [14:02] wols_: NFORCE-MCP67: not 100% native mode, will probe IRQ's later [14:02] wols_: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly, Enabling work around [14:02] Hi.

[14:21] Jack_Sparrow, well, that wont be neccessary. because what u suggest is before the system crash. but it is not suitable for this case asi dont do the get-selections before the errror.. [14:21] Condoulo a windows xp install? [14:21] any suggestions appreciated [14:21] cyzie: YOu can also try to install another desktop and try that in case the issue is at that level [14:21] thor- Yeah, Windows XP [14:21] gostone: what did you try? and what was the result?

I Ubuntu drive is (0,0), but I have no idea what my XP drive is [14:21] how can i talk with a friend on net in QQ procootol [14:22] Jack_Sparrow, nah... i guess the wiser step now is to use the debsums.. that is more concrete way to go for now. [14:22] tried right click, but greyed out, then did sudo nautilus, and it said " could not rename [14:22] Condoulo: sudo update-grub doesn't put it in? [14:22] cyzie: It should work, but since you dont care to try or listen, I cant help you [14:22] Condoulo: if not: show us your /boot/grub/device.map [14:22] is there anyone? [14:22] Condoulo I believe it would be 1,0....not sure, but it wouldn't hurt to give that a go. I assume your xp drive was bootable and you just moved it and installed linux on the other drive? [14:22] hello [14:22] mason: what is QQ protocol? [14:22] Enter text here..hi [14:22] by-by [14:22] Jack_Sparrow, I'm cosnidering your help, personally i don tthink it work now. ;) [14:22] bye [14:23] Jack_Sparrow, but it is good that command for the future now [14:23] QQ is like AIM, or yahoo messenger, common in asia [14:23] thor- What I did to install XP was disable my Ubuntu drive, and then re-enable my Ubuntu drive once the install was done. And I already tried 1,0. no luck [14:23] cyzie: IT isnt that hard to try it... [14:23] yeah, sudo-grub update does not help [14:23] cyzie: You are not trying to use the packages that you installed, just the names of them.

[14:24] Any ideas on renaming my USB key Slart? [14:24] Jack_Sparrow, well, nope. [14:24] cyzie: debsums [14:24] wols_, yes, using that now. [14:24] Condoulo that's not right....it would have to show your linux drive if nothing else...I mean...you are logged in right? [14:24] thor- yeah [14:24] hkBst: "sits on the release"? [14:24] gostone: I just tried the same thing myself.. same result.. just checking here.. when you say rename.. you just mean the name that shows up in nautilus? [14:25] wols_: the on used by the cd. I can't boot it. [14:25] Condoulo: cat /proc/partitions [14:25] hkBst: what error(s)?

[14:26] Stwange: if that is what you are trying to do with the ubuntu livecd [14:26] Condoulo something isn't right....it would have to show / and /home at a minimum, and a swap probably [14:26] Jack_Sparrow, I thought that, but I dismounted it and nothing changed. And now I dunno how to remount :S but I'd rather resize first :) [14:26] gostone: look here. .might help you .. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=426139 [14:26] wols_, what should i expect?

[14:40] cyzie: don't use the gutsy backport one [14:41] Condoulo nope...the line with the block device.../dev/hda or /dev/sda... [14:41] wols_, ok, so how do i select another one ? [14:41] can anyone tell me how to remount an ntfs partition? it's /dev/sda1 [14:41] cyzie: remove the backports from your sources.list, install it [14:42] Slart: I think this link shows how to remove everything in a metapackage... http://techaspect.net/2007/11/08/how-to-remove-any-meta-package-in-ubuntu/ [14:42] Stwange:what do you mean remount? [14:42] shishirmk, I dismounted it :) so maybe mount is the word im looking for [14:42] Condoulo do you have multiple partitions on either of the drives? [14:42] Jack_Sparrow: ah.. that actually looked usable.. thanks [14:42] thor- No. unless you count the partitions that automatically come with Ubuntu [14:42] wols_, ok but is there a way to select gutsy/universe version before installing x11vnc? [14:43] Slart: np, It is nice to learn as well as help in here [14:43] It's really sad that everything has gone so well with the switch from Fedora to Ubuntu and I'm stuck on sound. :o [14:43] grrrr [14:43] Condoulo did you find the device designations.../dev/sda or /dev/hda [14:44] Anyone else timing out on us.archive.ubuntu.com repository? [14:44] thor- its /dev/hdb1 [14:44] whenever I put my laptop to sleep, the USB CF reader resets itself [14:44] has anyone experienced this? http://img96.imageshack.us/my.php?image=usplashhm7.png [14:44] and when it comes back to life, the card gets detected as a new device [14:44] Stwange:you have gutsy? [14:44] simplyubuntu: Please explain the problem in channel instead of just spamming us with the link [14:44] Condoulo then that should be hd(1,0) [14:44] cyzie: don't use the backports, then the gutsy version will be taken [14:45] thor- ok. But I already tried that and had no luck upon boot. =/ [14:45] Condoulo that is the xp drive? [14:45] thor- yeah, the XP drive [14:45] Is http://www.ubuntu.com down for anyone else? [14:45] i was just about to Jack_Sparrow [14:45] does anyone have any ideas on how I could prevent that ? [14:45] wols_, thanks. installing now. [14:45] simplyubuntu: thank you [14:45] thor- this is what I have in menu.lst for the XP. I have title, root, makeactive, and chainloader +1 [14:45] but the question is how to specify other repo to use during install of a package. ;) [14:45] how do i add a new network on the Xchat?? I tried a lot of times but always ask if i put the wrong adreass [14:45] aro: works for me [14:45] simplyubuntu: still the same problem with all files in Lost+Found? [14:46] the progress bar in my usplash appears in the bottom left hand corner.... is that normal? http://img96.imageshack.us/my.php?image=usplashhm7.png [14:46] shishirmk, yeah [14:47] then i think if you restart it recognises it as a unmounted volume just right click and say mount [14:47] Condoulo found this...http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/56461-grub-menu-lst-chainloader-help-needed.html...looks like he had the same problem....the solution seems to be at the end of the thread. Worth a try [14:48] cyzie: Did you ever think that using the unofficial repos are what caused your problems in the first place [14:48] Jack_Sparrow, no, not really. not until the ram causign a lot of shit. [14:48] haha wols_, im touched that you remember :) i decided to just reinstall because it was too complicated... i did manage to salvage my var>cache>apt>archives debs, so i'll just apt-get install on the new machine and synaptic will use my old debs :P genius! all thanks to HardDisk, who seems to have left... and i think that all these people wanting to know why ubuntu site is down is because im doing a s*itload of updates right about now :P [14:49] cyzie: Potty mouth [14:49] anyone got anything similar to my usplash??? [14:50] Jack_Sparrow, ? [14:50] cyzie: RAM doesn't cause dependency errors [14:50] !ohmy > cyzie [14:50] wols_, yes, it doesnt but like i said with example before, it cause a lot of problems.. [14:50] anyone else having trouble with rubyripper and freedb ? [14:50] i got a terratec aureon 5.1 which is recognized correctly by my ubuntu 7.10 system. actually i cant use any 5.1 sound, only 4.0. i tried the speaker-test 5.1, which worked fine. any ideas guys? [14:50] wols_ how does that sound? [14:51] !ohmy > Jack_Sparrow [14:51] cyzie: Behave yourself or leave [14:51] cyzie: please stop [14:52] no pm please cyzie, without asking first [14:52] simplyubuntu, i'm here, just talking next door [14:52] brb [14:52] hi guys, i'm on Gibbon - need help getting compiz up and running - getting white screen [14:53] sorry to repeat, but can anyone tell me how to mount /dev/sda1 (NTFS) on gutsy?
