I am testing various linux distros open-iscsi initiator to an iscsi target, if I install the open-iscsi package in gutsy, all works, but even though I discover a target it never connects to the target. On further investigation I have noticed that even if I delete the iscsi.conf file that ubuntu is meant to be using it makes no difference and ubuntu does not even complain the file is missing... [00:22] ..IE I think there is a init.d script error.......not using any of the settings in iscsi.conf....any ideas? [00:22] |DuReX|: sorry i dunno what may be wrong.... [00:23] Yabber: I had a minor problem like that, totally ignoring the apt.conf [00:23] Yabber: the iscsi.conf might be there for settings but doesn't mean it needs to be used but last tiem I knew iscsi is tricky on *nix anyways but would file a report anyhow [00:23] where do I activate Compize Fusion ? [00:23] NoirFluo: install compiz-fusion [00:24] it is installed [00:24] <|DuReX|> erUSUL: it seems like it doesn't create uuid symlinks for dmraid devices [00:24] @NoirFluo: compiz --replace ccsm [00:24] NoirFluo: it's enabled by default actually if you use a restricted driver [00:24] TehBrandon, thanks [00:25] NoirFluo: also add compiz to your session or default session if you don't use a restricted driver [00:25] btw, is there a way to have 2 separate xubuntu menus? One is in a chroot jail of another distro, but my home directory is bound into the chroot [00:26] Ace2016: I've been through all that and have got it to be pretty close, I should think - have Device, Monitor, screen and serverLayout sections defined in xorg.conf - managed to crash X several times but it's not crashing now - but still not working either [00:26] everything besides that is working perfectly [00:26] chroot gail? that sounds interesting, how do i do that? [00:26] hello [00:26] Hi [00:27] hey folks [00:27] When will the livecd installer ask if I would like to install grub? I wanna do this right this time. :D [00:27] Ace2016: gail do you mean jail chroot is what you want there is no such thing really as jails in Linux [00:27] yea jail [00:28] kitche, thanks, when you say tricky on *nix do you mean buggy [00:28] what's missing in Linux jails? [00:28] Windows :) [00:28] prison guards [00:28] Yabber: yeah needs a lot of work [00:28] lockd: it's not the same as a jail [00:28] can someone explain to me how one uploads a video of my desktop ( usieng ) sessions recorder.... it records it as a OGG file format... can one conver that to a avi or mgeg??? [00:28] i mean you don't have any outbout firewalls to block certain apps [00:28] asdff [00:28] kitche: so in BSD you don't have to forward the /dev and all that/ [00:28] <__mikem> Linux Jails are where microsoft sends their employees if they are caught running linux [00:28] <__mikem> :) [00:29] lockd: you can mount /dev and other things inside the jail [00:29] kitche: or "bind" [00:29] Windows should be in Linux gaol :) [00:29] Hey, my friend is a rather new linux user, hence ubuntu, and is having trouble with playing .wmv files, I tried to get him tell me his hardware configurations but it didnt work...Any ideas? [00:29] hey guys. my totem (even mplayer) are running videos with nothing to display, only the sound. any idea how to solve this ? [00:29] lockd: if you don't have /dev how do you mount stuff? or do dd if=/dev/ ... [00:29] ktravaglini, try vlc [00:29] vlc plays almost anything [00:29] lordmorgoth, do you have the required codecs? [00:30] sudo apt-get install vlc [00:30] Thanks. [00:30] !wmv > Ktravaglini [00:30] user5435 that didn't work [00:30] Ktravaglini, and remember that if the wmv is drm protected, it won't play on ubuntu [00:30] lockd: but a jail is really a whole another system why a chroot is a "half" system since it doesn't have it's own ip address [00:30] what didn't work? [00:30] lockd: among some other things [00:30] Thanks Jack_Sparrow?!? [00:30] np [00:30] any chance to get this working without key-question? ssh root@host.de -i .ssh/host.ppk [00:31] kitche, damn! thats not good news, I thought it was production ready.... [00:31] How do I link to a program so it interprets relative paths correctly? anybody? [00:32] Yabber: it is but I just know only professionals that build systems themselves got it working really haven't seen a user get one up and running so far [00:32] anyone ??? [00:32] LeviathNL, are you talking about scripting? [00:32] Yabber: might want to do some searches though [00:32] lordmorgoth, you running compiz? [00:32] if I want to remote desktop to a friend's windows xp box and he uses a router, can I just enter his IP to get in ? [00:32] nickrud, yeah i though of it, know how to fix it ? [00:33] I need help configuring a second monitor - can somebody help? [00:33] kitche, I am not building the target, I am using a san/nas for that, just trying to get a client initiator to connect to the target, its just not connecting under ubuntu..under centos, and redhat works like a dream! [00:33] lordmorgoth, the xv output doesn't work well with compiz, I've been able to get x11 to work. [00:33] bobgill: Are you connected to that router? [00:34] bruenig, I want to make a symlink to a program, but if I do ln /path/to/program and execute the link i get errors in the program i can't find files (using relative paths it seems) [00:34] tehcheez: NO [00:34] oh sorry caps [00:34] lol [00:34] can someone explain to me how one uploads a video of my desktop ( usieng ) sessions recorder.... it records it as a OGG file format... can one conver that to a avi or mgeg??? [00:34] mp o [00:34] no i'm not [00:34] nickrud, xv ? i didn't understood what u mean [00:34] Ok I fixed that problem; Can some one please help me with the content now; Original Message : Im trying to make linuxmain.net into linux's main sosial networking site. But I need some help whith the content that will eventually attaract the users that will make it run. Im really Trying to get it running quick as possable but there are a trillian settings I need a assistants to help and point out what needs fixing and add content like pages howto links to [00:34] LeviathNL, you are trying to link what to what [00:34] bobgill: Then no. [00:35] lordmorgoth, there're different outputs that display on the screen. Try mplayer -vo x11 , see if you can see it [00:35] tehcheez: no possible way ? [00:35] a game called teewars i copied to /usr/local/share/games/teewars, now I want to make a link in /usr/local/bin [00:35] should i learn how to program before learning any languages, or should i just get stuck in learning a language? [00:35] LeviathNL, ln -s /usr/local/share/games/teewars /usr/local/bin/teewars [00:36] TheEagle, unless you learn a language, you won't learn to code. pseudocode only gets you so far [00:36] Can I download a 4.7GB torrent file to a FAT32 partition? [00:36] tinin, no [00:37] so what should i learn first in the way of a programming language? [00:37] any solution to this? [00:37] Hey guys I'm having a problem connecting to internet [00:37] Need to encode my dvd(contains serie episodes) to an avi with multiple audio tracks and subtitles..... how? [00:37] TheEagle, haven't we had this conversation before :) [00:37] TheEagle, learn bash, that will get you through simple concepts like if, while, for, switch/case, etc. [00:37] anyone know how to get my HP x4270 to work with ubuntu? [00:37] Could someone help me out I'm not sure what to do I got a new router and now nothing works [00:37] I just can't connect [00:37] TheEagle, bash would be good, you'd also get stuff you can use right now [00:37] yes, nickrud, i ask every day to see if the same reccomendations appear - so don't repeat yours at the moment [00:37] nickrud, great it works from the comand line, anyway to fix it permanently ? [00:37] * nickrud feels hurt [00:37] getting stuff you can use has always been necessary to keep me interested [00:38] bobgill: Unless he/she/it has forwarded ports, no. [00:38] bruenig, same error, teewars is an executable in a folder in .../games/, and it uses files from that folder which it can't reach it seems [00:38] lordmorgoth, add vo=x11 to ~/.mplayer/config . The problem with x11 is it won't scale up. [00:38] [4776e815][game/png]: failed to open file. filename='data/big_font.png' etc [00:38] learning how to conver fahrenheit to celsius in every language only gets you so far before you get disinterested [00:38] bash is strictly linux isnt it? [00:38] TheEagle, no [00:38] well [00:38] TheEagle: This isnt the place to ask that question in the first place . .. Much less every day [00:38] nickrud, thanks m8 ! [00:39] TheEagle: Ruby is a good introductory programming language [00:39] LeviathNL, it should be able to, can you execute the binary directly [00:39] lordmorgoth, np [00:39] * TheEagle is p*ssed off with such strict rules in irc channels [00:40] TheEagle: Enough with the comment messages too.. If you dont like the rules there are other channels [00:40] Hey guys I'm connected through ethernet I got a new router and now I can no longer get online, but the router says I am connected. Does anyone know what could be going wrong? [00:40] bruenig, if I cd to /usr/local/share/games/teewars and do ./teewars it runs correctly [00:40] Does anyone here know of any remote os installation / backup tool? I've found one, but its just in a really early beta stage. Anyone know of a good system to do this? [00:40] * TheEagle doesn't see what harm it does posting a message in the wrong place [00:40] when i turn on my computer, it goes to some grub command line thing [00:41] matkix: rsync [00:41] Rsync can install an os? [00:41] Lagginator, that's the boot loader, it loads the various os's you have on your machine [00:41] LeviathNL, oh I see, well what I would do is write a short bash script and put it in /usr/local/bin, have that bash script cd into the directory and run ./teewars [00:41] TheEagle: With 1200 uses here for one purpose. We do not need your comments and interruptions [00:42] matkix: it can back it up [00:42] nickrud, I don't know what to do, it prompts for a command [00:42] Lagginator, oh. You don't get a list of possible os's to load in a box? [00:42] nickrud: no, it just says something abotu minimal bash liek editing supported and grub> [00:43] * TheEagle thinks that it is just the pirate who doesn't need my comments and interruptions as it is just him that is complaining (and there is 1162 users not 1200 hehe ) [00:43] Lagginator, you need a grub expert. Ask for help, saying your install is dropping you to the grub command line, and doesn't boot ubunut [00:43] cool, I screwed up my comp! [00:43] awesome [00:43] * nickrud thinks Jack_Sparrow is being kind to TheEagle [00:44] * TheEagle is going to shut up before i do something stupid and start a massive argument [00:44] Anyone willing to help me diagnose a sound problem? I upgraded to Gutsy, and now have no sound. lspci shows the sound driver, but aplay -l returns "aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found..." [00:44] hello? [00:44] nickrud: yes he is being very kind and polite to me [00:44] Lagginator: what have you done that can explain the grub missconfiguration? [00:44] oh ok it works.. [00:44] guys wha't /dev/fd0 ? [00:44] but, he is just knitpicking [00:44] I'm looking for a software tool that can install a os from pxe boot. [00:44] nicolah: Floppy disk 0.

[00:53] thanks wols_disabling floppy from bios worked. [00:53] I am still having troubles trying to make a shell script that will mount an ISO as a virtual CD. So far I know that the command mount myiso.iso /mnt/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop0 will mount the ISO and i know if i put an executable script in /home/username/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts it will appear in my right click options under scripts. I just cant figure out what my scripts needs to have in it [00:53] nickrud, u still here man ? [00:53] now I don't need to wait 2 minutes to get gparted started [00:54] I'd like to use mplayer or a mp3player in a cron file. [00:54] sammy_, not specifically. if you can, subscribe to this list, https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users , and ask there. Good answers to hard questions generally [00:54] Shpook, Has your sound card ever worked with Linux? [00:54] lordmorgoth, sure [00:54] nd badly written config files. [00:54] I want to install mplayer [00:54] nickrud, i was browsing the forum and i came across this thread, check it might be helpful :) [00:54] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=507332&highlight=mplayer+problem+compiz [00:54] or something better [00:54] sammy_, only thing is that list is very very active [00:55] Jordan_U_: Oh yes, but I recently reformatted( a couple times) and had to install Feisty then upgrade. This time, sound got buggered. It's onboard Nvidia sound, btw. === AfterDea1h is now known as AfterDeath [00:55] lordmorgoth, same answer I gave :) [00:55] thank you Lord [00:55] nickrud, yeap :) thanks man [00:55] (double entendre) [00:56] Shpook, If it worked on any LiveCD boot into that and try to figure out what module it uses, then make sure that module is loaded / the configuration files are the same [00:56] nickrud, do you happen to know all about dual monitors amd Xinerama? [00:56] nickrud, thanks for this tip - I guessed something like that already [00:57] hmmm devilspie bugs compiz? or vice versa ... :( [00:57] I have some other problem, the quit applet does a instant log off instead of giving me options to shut down, reboot etc.. [00:57] Jordan_U_, Hi again, im back with a re-installed system [00:57] rkj, not a thing about xinerama [00:57] sandr-, I think compiz has a built in devislpie like widget [00:57] Jordan_U_: That's a good idea. I'll have to do it when I get back from the beach though. [00:58] o really ? :o Please Jordan_U_ what's the name? === D_ReaL_PuNiShEr is now known as pepez [00:58] mnn [00:58] nickrud, bummer, I've been asking for the last couple of hours and basically no response [00:58] <|DuReX|> should udev run AFTER dmraid [00:58] <|DuReX|> in the boot sequence ? [00:58] sandr-, Don't remember :(, try looking through ccsm [00:58] rkj, xinerama is one of those things not a whole lot of people use enough to just 'know' it [00:59] hey nickrud I installed Wine... thats good... I installed Steam using Wine... Great! Now I ran into a problem when I open Steam.... it stops and says only one instantance of steam can be ran at a time.... I dont see it open anywhere any ideas? [00:59] sammy_, What was your problem again? [00:59] hi ppl [00:59] could someone please tell me how to install linux restricted modules server pkg & the most recent nvidia drivers? I finally got a sucessful install but can't quite figure out how to do this [00:59] Task1, wine is another thing I don't use. I don't play games in linux, so I use a vmware instance to run windows stuff for work [00:59] Jordan_U_, The not-working suspend mode (hibernate doesnt work too) [00:59] Task1, Try "wineserver -k" to kill all windows apps first [00:59] !ulimit [00:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about ulimit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:59] kk [01:00] very happy to announce 7.1 running on my compaq presario v6133cl [01:00] Still says it [01:00] hi im a linux newby, i just tried it and i love it i only had it an hour and i erased my windows and everything in it plus threw out all my software cuz i got the linux versions free this great except for one problem, im an idiot and i cant figure out how to log in as root [01:00] onboad wifi died last week, but usb wifi "linksys wusb54gc" works "out of the box" [01:00] nickrud: vmware doesnt support direct rendering so that doesnt work for gaming [01:00] !root | jusefina [01:00] jusefina: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:00] sammy_, Try "sudo apt-get install uswsusp" then "sudo s2both" ( or s2disk for suspend to disk ) [01:00] I think maybe I added it more then one time on accident in the menu to add applications... could that be it? [01:00] Jordan_U_, I heared something about the graphic card sending its signals to the wrong output after ending suspend mode [01:00] !root > justin_ (sorry jusefina ) [01:01] ok i get that [01:01] could someone please tell me how to install linux restricted modules server pkg & the most recent nvidia drivers? I finally got a sucessful install but can't quite figure out how to do this [01:01] nickrud: try virtualbox, its bether than vmware [01:01] but i logged out and at the loggon screen entered root and then a password i made for root [01:01] Jordan_U_, How can I set one screen to default?

Any hints? [01:01] santos_luis, boss had heard of santos_luis , he gave me a license to install inside that :) [01:01] thx Jordan_U_ , it was the window rules plugin ! [01:02] ty ubotu [01:02] santos_luis, lol, second santos_luis should be vmware [01:02] ty jordan_u... do I type that in terminal? [01:02] justin_: you can not log in as root you use sudo [01:02] !sudo | justin_ [01:02] justin_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [01:02] You know in windows... when you minimize it sometimes goes to the task bar.... could it do that here? [01:02] nickrud: ok. [01:02] antoszka, You need the alternate install CD for that. [01:03] mplayer has dll problem, that is strange, i thought dlls were for a different os [01:03] Jordan_U_: No chances with a standard LiveCD? [01:03] michael__, mplayer can use windows codec dlls [01:03] oh thanks [01:03] do i have the right one? [01:04] i typed apt-get install mplayer [01:04] im an idiot THANKS ALL [01:04] i am trying to use mplayer in a cron job and need to install mplayer [01:04] nickrud: virtualbox is open [01:04] :) [01:05] michael__: sudo apt-get install mplayer [01:05] michael__ you could compile it [01:05] santos_luis, I agree. But if I used that, I'd have to spend a couple thousand on windows software instead of using the business's site licenses. Not likely [01:05] nickrud where would it go if I minimized it? [01:05] ....but apt-get should work === newbie_ is now known as fsckr [01:06] Task1, I'm not really paying attention, just catching the drumroll when people type my nick, mostly.

I find using rdesktop distracting to use in a window, and would like it full screen. my problem is this: toggle full screen hotkey (ctl + alt + enter) is already used by VMware player, so I cannot toggle rdesktop. In addition, rdestop in fullscreen does not contain itself to one gnome workspace, so I have no way to exit rdesko [01:17] they are smaller games not like 3d [01:17] just lil bs [01:18] justin_: some 3D games work [01:18] how do I install flash in gutsy?

[02:41] TigranG, yes that means they should actually work with keytouch [02:41] I have an application that I put in the opt directory, it requires writing to /var/log ...how can I setup the executable to run for users? eg. right now, I can only run it as root [02:41] how do I run a command when i'm shutting down [02:41] How do I manually mount a USB device on the LiveCD so that I have read/write access? more specifically an SD card in a card reader?

[02:44] relic, run unison before i log out (to syunc files from my latop ==> pc and back) [02:44] happyjoy, ctl-X , say yes to save. Some keystrokes are listed at the bottom [02:44] how can i run the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run file and login as root? because right when i execute it it goes to terminal and starts loadin so i cant type in sudo su. can someone please help [02:44] Administrator_: what is the differente betwen sudoedit and nano? [02:44] why not use nano ,ctrl+x,shift+y enter , [02:45] Hmm ... [02:45] Administrator_, first, you'd have to be root for nano without sudo to work. sudoedit wraps nano for you [02:45] dorthnagoth, hmmm what? [02:45] how can i run the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run file and login as root? because right when i execute it it goes to terminal and starts loadin so i cant type in sudo su. can someone please help [02:45] I'm starting to wonder how many files may have been overwritten during installation. [02:46] nuGzthk: its easier to install the ubuntu driver. [02:46] Administrator_ nickrud in sudoedit or nano i see the keystrokes, but they are imperceptible (like ^O or ^R) [02:46] Everything I had was in /home/~/ music/ movies/ docs/ et cetera. [02:46] I have an application that I put in the opt directory, it requires writing to /var/log ...how can I setup the executable to run for users? eg. right now, I can only run it as root [02:46] happyjoy, ^ means control [02:46] It's about, er, 80 gigs of movies, music and the like. [02:46] nuGzthk, do you know how to navigate to the file in the terminal? [02:46] how do i run a command (unison file sync) automatically before every logout, and before i shut down my computer? [02:46] Photorec might be working at this for quite some time. [02:46] TigranG, try to tell me what you did you opened key touch editor made a file then loaded it with keytouch ? [02:46] nickrud: oh! thank you! [02:47] relic , how do i do that? and will i have the nvida interface where i can change things and have options?

[02:47] dorthnagoth, you can download easyrecovery [02:47] RealGateHead: state your problem [02:47] RealGateHead, what's the issue ? [02:47] ketrox: I said before that I loaded a keyboard profile that was already there - but its a different model than my computer (same manufacture tho) [02:47] nuGzthk: start synaptic package manager [02:47] k [02:47] nuGzthk, yes you will have the nvidia-settings [02:47] RealGateHead, it took me one click. Go to upgrade manager and select upgrade distor [02:47] I created a second user. How do I copy the settings and setup for that user to the new user [02:47] dorthnagoth: i had my /home from my gentoo install on a separate partition and the ubuntu install didn't do anything to it [02:48] does anyone know if there is a decent sidebar for linux? [02:48] I did what the wiki said by upgrading and it does not show that there is an upgrade available [02:48] RealGateHead: sudo do-release-upgrade ? [02:48] i just tried that [02:48] why can't i format an unallocated flash-drive to ntfs using gparted? [02:48] Well, there's the problem ... [02:48] jay@jay-laptop:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade [02:48] Checking for a new ubuntu release [02:48] No new release found [02:48] TigranG, you shoould create your own with keytouch-editor and the load it wiht keytouch [02:48] It, er, was an ubuntu-only installation. [02:48] my firefox web browser won't connect to the internet (won't browse) the message is "the proxy server is refusing connections" i installed epiphany web browser still the same, when i go to edit > preferences > advance > network > settings > connections settings, i could not choose "the configure proxies to the internet", help me out dude [02:48] ????????? [02:48] KiD_ChAoS: i dont think flash drives are ntfs-capable [02:49] anyone [02:49] I had to reinstall because, well, I had more than a few irrecoverable errors going on. [02:49] KiD_ChAoS: how big is it [02:49] dorthnagoth, did you know www.baidu.com try to use it search easyrecovery [02:49] The installation didn't ask for any importing re: files, and, er, it sort of ... overwrote everything. [02:49] ketrox: Ive tried that too, and I've tried all the events listed, when I press the play/stop prev next button it doesn't recognize it [02:49] i would uninstall 7.04 and start fresh with 7.10 but I barely got this one up and running [02:49] RealGateHead: you got the updates installed before you tried do-release-upgrade? [02:50] as far as i know [02:50] Photorec's found about 2000 of roughly 10000 music samples I had for video editing, and most of the .txt files from the old install ... [02:50] maybe i am missing a step [02:50] my firefox web browser won't connect to the internet (won't browse) the message is "the proxy server is refusing connections" i installed epiphany web browser still the same, when i go to edit > preferences > advance > network > settings > connections settings, i could not choose "the configure proxies to the internet", help me out dude [02:50] But, er, there's a LOT of stuff I wanted to keep. [02:50] yeah you gotta be updated before you do release upgrade [02:50] please [02:50] how do i make sure i did that [02:50] dorthnagoth: what are you talking about? The installer doesn't overwrite existing partitions unless you let it. [02:50] relic, yes they are, i don't mean compact flash.... im talking about a jump drive [02:50] dorthnagoth, did you see what i said [02:50] TigranG, try it again because there is no logical way that it appears in dmesg and not in keytouch [02:50] Is there a task manager for linux [02:50] ketrox: Ok [02:50] Hi, I'm having trouble with a fresh install of the newest Ubuntu on a computer with no prior OS. The CD is asking for a password before it will let me even start to install. [02:51] kittentamer, try ubuntu ubuntu [02:51] kittentamer, usually root [02:51] KiD_ChAoS: ok. i havent messed with gparted enough.. it may be wise to do that under xp instead. [02:51] somebody tell me how to solve the problem, please [02:51] Boohbah:i tried ipconfig again and i do have an IP address [02:51] Tritium, in the past the installer GUI's had a prompt asking if there were any files that the user wanted to move over. [02:51] deadlock: add the system monitor applet to one of your panels [02:51] kittentamer: are you sure thats an ubuntu cd?... never ehard that one [02:51] Just type in root, no password? [02:51] relic screw that [02:51] relic, it says my system is up to date [02:51] I downloaded it straight from the site. [02:52] ok how do i install gparted? [02:52] kittentamer: there is no password required. What screen are you at? [02:52] justin_: sudo apt-get install gparted [02:52] RealGateHead: well if youre barely running, just go ahead and fresh install of 7.10 [02:52] that is so much easier than wat i was doing [02:52] It looks like a command prompt [02:52] justin_: you can also install it from the gui (synaptic) [02:52] In retrospect it didn't do it this time; it wasn't until I'd walked back to the computer and the partitioning was DONE that I realized I hadn't imported or back up many files (I couldn't, mind). [02:52] i would but I am not sure i am skilled enough to do it...lol [02:52] its pretty easy [02:52] l21logan99: ok, how bout resolv.conf? does it list a namserver? [02:52] you got just one drive right? [02:53] justin_: but gparted is fairly wonky in gutsy... works great in feisty... if its something you absolutely need and cant get it to work in Gutsy,l google "Gparted Live CD".. thats what I use.. [02:53] kittentamer: which CD are you using? Alternate installer? [02:53] yes [02:53] come to my house and hook a brother up...lol [02:53] Here's an odd MySQL/PHP4 bug. I can mysql_connect() to '127.0.0.1', but not to 'localhost'. WTF? It behaves as if the mysql server isn't even running if I try localhost. Google has no clue. Any guesses as to why? [02:53] justin_: so what *were* you trying?... compiling source code?..lol [02:53] hello [02:53] is gparted able to create an ntfs partition? [02:53] tritium: I've tried both the alternate and the live CD [02:53] What is it that restarts gnome-panel as soon as I pkill it?

[02:54] plz help me 4 install KDE4 [02:54] fdisk ,cfdisk ,.you 've got a lot to use [02:54] relic, really? [02:54] ok i did it and this is wat it says [02:54] Moshen212: it's not released yet, or packaged for ubuntu [02:54] relic: The #mysql channel covers a lot of territory. This really feels like an issue with the Ubuntu apt installation of Mysql. [02:54] relic, but it can read them just fine [02:54] KiD_ChAoS: i havent trusted it for ntfs [02:54] hey guys, expo doesnt work, I already enabled it in compiz manager but hitting super+E doesnt do it [02:54] any ideas why? [02:54] etfb: 127.0.0.1 is going to connect to the network socket. localhost will try the UNIX domain socket. However, #mysql can help you out a lot more.

[02:57] kittentamer, cuz not a single person here knows what you're talking about :) [02:57] RealGateHead: do you want to install something else over it, or wipe the disk?

[03:37] flexgrip, aside from buying a router, you could setup iptables [03:37] flexgrip: i can now connect my xbox 360 online with that script [03:37] brb testing [03:37] jamestabbler: no... especially if you don't ask a question [03:38] apt-get install mindreading_skill [03:38] :) [03:38] lol [03:38] hee [03:38] can anybody help me with my alsa troubles, i get function snd_ctl_open failed for default: no such device [03:38] as a psychic I knew you were going to say that, of course ... [03:38] jamestabbler, you've been very patient, but you need to repeat the question, since you're hoping someone who hasn't seen it an also knows possible answers will speak up [03:38] !realplayer | joanki [03:39] what does that mean tritium [03:39] joanki: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:39] joanki: ubotu was supposed to give you info [03:39] There, it just did [03:39] thx =) [03:39] hey, who was helping me earlier :S kortex? [03:40] nickrud [03:40] anyone know if an updated pkg to fix the adobe flash-plugin bug will ever be reelased? it appears the bug was first noticed right away Dec 4th. but nothing in the repos to fix it yet? I see the links that have a couple deb pkgs compiled to fix it. but nothing "official" [03:40] With an Athlon A64 X2 would I be better advised to install a64 or i360 ? [03:40] jamestabbler, I'm one of those guys that's seen it and has no answers [03:40] i just restated the question but i get default device not found from alsamixer [03:40] what driver works with Realtek 8201CL PHY ? [03:40] oh okey [03:41] sc0tch: no ETA, but it's a known issue [03:41] Nutubuntu: depends: how many binary progs and drivers will you need? [03:41] ketrox you still here? [03:41] no luck with putting the files into etc/init.d [03:41] Nutubuntu, for most people 32bit is the best bet. [03:41] i moved them via cp files /etc/init.d [03:41] yes [03:41] but again i had to sudo the wireless through terminal [03:41] Specifically which revision of 2.6.22 does gutsy come with? I have some hardware that's supported in 2.6.22.2 but not in 2.6.22.1, and I want to know if it will work. === LeLLeL_ is now known as LeLLeL [03:41] nsegative, that's not going to work. Go back to what you did the first time, but cd into the right dir [03:42] ConstyXIV, hard to say ... Dr_willis - thx [03:42] yeah - my main problem right now is flash and java not working in firefox... are you saying flash is still broken? [03:42] need some help with gutsy / vista dual boot [03:42] Okey ... me for some sleep ... or coffee maybe [03:42] jib: it's the 14th ubuntu build (2.6.22-14) [03:42] When I attempt to run irssi, I get /usr/local/bin/irssi: Not found. I compiled irssi myself, but then I removed that and installed irssi from the repositories. Where does bash look for programs other than /usr/bin? [03:42] ok [03:42] thanks [03:42] MenZa: why did you compile irssi yourself? [03:42] nickrud: how about this? /root/mike/r2 [03:42] MenZa: apparently /usr/loca/bin [03:43] tritium, for the latest version. [03:43] nsegative, yeah, that should work [03:43] KlrSpz, It must be looking elsewhere and finding a symbolic link. [03:43] nsegative, no, sorry, /home/mike/r2 [03:43] i installed gutsy then the vista boot stopped working [03:43] what about the acutal command [03:43] MenZa: type "which irssi" if that's wrong, you might need to log out and back in to get an updated path, or manually call the binary out such as /bin/irssi [03:43] just ./wlan0up ? [03:43] /usr/bin/irssi can be called. [03:43] nsegative, in place of sudo , just [03:43] MenZa: ehh it's a possibility [03:43] nsegative, yes [03:43] ah [03:43] And it gives me /usr/bin/irssi [03:43] MenZa: you really should install stuff you compile yourself under /usr/local [03:44] anyone know how to get my HP x4270 to work with ubuntu? [03:44] I generally do, tritium. [03:44] Or just isntall it for that single user. [03:44] Thanks, though, kloeri and tritium. [03:44] er. [03:44] KlrSpz* [03:44] (I hate xchat's tab completion...) [03:44] welp time to try again hahah [03:45] anyone out there savvy with dual booting? [03:45] I just started having a problem access terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F(1-6). All that does is bring me to a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top corner--no log in prompt-- hitting enter does not bring up a log in either [03:45] Anyone else ever experience that? And does anyone know the solution [03:45] yoface: did you select it from the grub boot menu? [03:46] hello, how can I set screen preferences with xrandr before gmd loads? [03:46] wit_273, have you just upgraded? [03:46] trit, yeah, i did, but then it wouldn't boot... so i tried reinstalling vista again on its own partition [03:46] then it tells me that there is no suitable drive anymore [03:46] wit_273, i would try disabling the console framebuffer, for a start. (in the menu.lst, or edit the boot line in grub, as a test) [03:46] theres a decent set of instructions for fixing that yoface [03:47] No, I have been running gutsy since it was alpha and kept all updates. It just started to my knowledge tonigh [03:47] zen, i checked the forums, else i wouldn't have gone to you experts... [03:47] yoface, in ubuntu , run sudo fdisk -l , see what it sas about the drive [03:47] it's all about resizing partitions and business... i've got multiple partitions arleady set up [03:47] bbaif [03:48] zaphar_ps: hmm. system() reaps its own sh process, so it won't be that. [03:48] hello need help help mounting a usb HDD ca anyone help? [03:48] !ask | super-6-2 [03:48] super-6-2: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [03:48] i did [03:49] ic done everything and i cant get it to mount [03:49] iv* [03:49] what have you done, what errors/symptons, etc... [03:49] super-6-2, what does "done everything" cover? [03:49] Hi... Ubuntu's update notifier just reported me that there are 3 updates available (libgdl-1-0, libgdl-1-common and libgdl-gnome-1-0). When I click on "Install Updates" on Update Manager, it tells me these 3 packages are NOT AUTHENTICATED. Since this was the first time it happens I chose to wait a little more before doing the update.. Anyone else had this issue ? That's under Ubuntu 7.10 [03:49] where is the web site for ubuntu deb packages. Eg. where it lists the dependencies and what not [03:50] anybody know the name of a realplayer for ubuntu? [03:50] ramza3, packages.ubuntu.com [03:50] renato, update your repos, they're just a bit stale is all [03:50] preaction, im not sure all i did was do all i can do [03:50] nickrud, what does that do? [03:50] i don't have fdisk installed [03:50] super-6-2, what did you do? [03:50] i restarted gdm & trying to go into screen resolution gives me the error "The X Server does not support the XRandR extension. Runtime resolution changes to the display size are not available." [03:50] preaction, umm to much to say [03:51] preaction, we can start of from scratch [03:51] i fixed it with asoundconf set-default-card [03:51] super-6-2, if you don't tell me what you did, we're going to go over all of it again. so to save us both time, tell me what you did and what happened when you did it [03:51] yoface, it will tell you some info about your drive. and it is on your system. The reason I mention it is I had similar issues, I could use every existing partition but could not do any changes (like make an ntfs to reinstall vista) Had to reformat everything from scratch [03:51] i found the card name with asoundcard list [03:51] damn still no luck, i hate my friends laptop [03:52] nickrud, okay, well, let me find out how to install fdisk and then run it [03:52] yoface, fdisk is already on your system. It is there by default on any ubuntu install [03:52] preaction, ok to summarize everything. Me and a few people tryed to get this thing to work. From what we are seeing the HDD is in NTFS format and it conflicting with something. i dont know what tho [03:52] super-6-2, what did you do to see that? give me exactly what you did [03:52] Dr_Willis I looked at the menu.lst and I do not see anything about console frame buffer. But I did notice that a backup was created for menu.lst yesterday. I do recall doing any updates though. I am going to try to revert to the backup and see if that resolves the issue [03:52] well I installed ubuntu on hd0,0 and then installed xp on hd0,2 and had to reinstall grub to get ubuntu working again and then had to edit the grubs boot.lst file to add in the xp option and initially I thought hd0,1 was correct but had forgotten about the swap part so changing to hd0,2 made my xp work again from grub. [03:53] yoface check this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-gparted-to-resize-your-windows-vista-partition/ [03:53] preaction, i can try i lost most of it from pc restart [03:53] nickrud, oh... it gave me a weird error when i tried last [03:53] let me try again [03:53] super-6-2, if you did nothing, tell me that. if you did mount -tntfs, tell me that. what do you mean you lost it from pc restart? [03:53] yoface, yah, that's what I was afraid of [03:53] is there a way to get list the "deb" file URL through apt? [03:53] of a package [03:54] ramza3, apt-cache madison [03:54] nickrud, I did an apt-get update and tried running the update manager again.. got the same message warning about NOT AUTHENTICATED packages... [03:54] anyone know how to get a printer going? hp x4270 if that matters,, [03:54] renato, do you have any 3d party repos? [03:54] nickrud, madison, werid [03:54] preaction, ok make things short we need to do everything again [03:54] renato: add any repos? [03:54] don't worry about the not authenitcated packages, they're fine to install most the time [03:54] renato: you may need to re-add the GPG keys as detailed by the source-o-matic page [03:55] nickrud, I do... [03:55] renato, those are probably the problem then. You haven't added their security key to apt [03:55] super-6-2, look, seriously, BS doesn't fly around here. either you know what you did or you don't. if you want to remember what you did, look at your ~/.bash_history, but that is not going to say what happened when you did that [03:55] there were error messages, what were they? [03:56] nickrud, I see.. will try to remove them... [03:56] nickrud, see pm [03:56] yoface: you're not registered, so nickrud did not receive your PM [03:56] nickrud is flooded with messages haha [03:56] preaction, ok i dont know what i did [03:56] !register | yoface [03:56] yoface: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [03:56] yoface, you need to be registered to pm, and generally it's better to stay here:) Same to you, nsegative ;p [03:57] nickrud, that was it.... those updates where being fetched from this third party repository... thanks for your help ! [03:57] super-6-2, use lsusb and look for USB Mass Storage, it should have a /dev/* node. does it? [03:57] renato, np [03:57] preaction, one second [03:57] has anyone ever set up a apache server? i need some help getting a apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [Sat Dec 29 22:57:03 2007] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:0 has no VirtualHosts (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down [03:57] nickrud, rgr, i don't know what registered is, this is my 10th minute on irc... i'm the epitome of "noob"...

[03:58] Dr_Willis thanks for pointing me to menu.lst. I reverted to the backup made yesterday and I can now get to my terminal screens. I will compare the too later to see if there were any important differences [03:58] CW, or there's something else running on port 80.. [03:58] anyways, i tried sudo apt-get install gnu-fdisk, then it gave me ...

Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [03:59] nickrud: from his whois he is indeed using Pidgin :) [03:59] but yeah. This driver i unpacked is a hacked driver so no exetucibles are copied out of the folder. each time to activate wireless i browse to folder and run ./wlan0up [03:59] wit_273, i always disable the framebuffer, some times it and the X video card drivers can fight. [03:59] super-6-2, nothing resembling /dev/anything? try doing "dmesg | less" in a terminal, look for the string you just gave me. it should have a /dev/something near it [03:59] scguy318, I'm not that nosy ;-p [03:59] renato, ok mind if i pm you to ask you some more ?'s [03:59] what's wrong with pidgen? [03:59] maybe i dont need to have ./wlan0up in the etc but instead just wlan0up [03:59] wit_273, also.. do you have a TV plugged in/tv out? i had once where the console defaulted to the tv out..

Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [04:45] Dr_willis, how can i see my connections ? [04:45] joanki: LOL I know what you mean!!

Please help me [04:47] hellp [04:47] Soskel, don't run [04:47] Jonathan, what kind of program do you read the books in? [04:47] Ashfire908: what why?! [04:48] I dont have that program yet [04:48] hellp me plz [04:48] joanki: use find, which , or locate, as suggested [04:48] I installed alexandria [04:48] ex-chat [04:48] k [04:48] but [04:48] joanki: hopefuly, the installer installed in /usr/local/bin if you used sudo, or under your home directory if you did not [04:48] Soskel: That deletes a folder and all items within it without asking for confirmation. [04:48] Administrator_ there is no root password in ubuntu. By default your user password will work with 'su' unless the computer belongs to someone else, in which case you shouldn't have the root password [04:48] Soskel, it deletes every file and folder in the current folder, forcefully without asking. [04:48] c0nka - just keep reconfiguring X with different screen res and refresh rates? [04:48] everywhere, tritium i see now [04:48] I thought that it is a program to read books [04:48] oh, i see [04:48] ch0ka: is your video card nvidia?

[04:49] Soskel: Because its useful. When I delete a folder containing many items, I dont want to clear out every subdirector and I dont want it to ask me if I'm sure for every file. [04:49] k not so sure about the ati drivers sadly :( [04:49] can someone please tell me how to , how I can change the slot-number of my screens? [04:49] oh he helped me before [04:49] Soskel, rm -rf * would do what Ashfire908 said [04:49] what does reclusively mean?

[04:50] mattholimea1, uhm.. nope.. I meant the physical screens :D [04:50] joanki: where was it after all? [04:50] mattholimea1: i only want to know if i am already uploading a file [04:50] to a site [04:50] can anyone give me the sample syntax for ffmpeg with subtitle encoding? [04:51] I want to change CRT-1 to CRT0 [04:51] anyone know how I can make movie files show as thumbnails?

[04:53] pdf [04:53] Dr_willis> ah, i think i see... seems the menus do a fly-out & things are shaded when xinerama isn't enabled... & i'm guessing that this is what's making it take longer to display [04:53] vhoe [04:53] scguy, well, i'm gonna leave the drive unformatted and see if vista will recognize it and format it to whatever it needs [04:53] Ashfire908, 350 MB [04:53] and it didnt work [04:53] changed the size [04:54] i'll deal with the dual booting nightmare after i get vista running [04:54] Can anyone tell me how to share an internet connection from my wireless card (wlan0) to my ethernet card (eth0) [04:54] con-man, oh sorry forgot to scroll dow- that's huge!

Oh well [04:55] heh, yeah, i just found something [04:55] excuse me is it a program I am new to these things [04:55] Ashfire908: Just key note here, it should show a preview for con-man. [04:55] flexgrip if what you want is to have your computer forward from the ethernet to the wifi then look at the command 'route' and the routing tables [04:56] honestly, i like ubuntu and all, but it seems that i spent SO much time just making m y system WORK. it's VERY VERY VERY time consuming. i wouldn'thave installed it if i didnt have another laptop with windows as a backup [04:56] is there a way I can get hotplug to completely IGNORE a specific USB device? I need it to *completely ignore* my iPod so i can use it in VirtualBox.

[05:01] JQ83: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcre3/+bug/130428 [05:01] JQ83: Seems like its a bug [05:01] after i downloaded it, somehow it got INSTALLED to my desktop [05:01] TigranG: thanks [05:02] i don't wnat my software files on my desktop, so i moved it to my ahem... /home/user directory [05:02] TigranG: is a bug? [05:02] JQ83: Scroll down, I think some one posted a fix [05:02] but after i did that, it no longer recognized the plugins in firefox, so i wanted to reinstall [05:02] joanki: That's just the .deb file. It doesn't actually _install_ to your desktop. [05:02] no, i know what the .deb file is and it installed to my desktop [05:03] TigranG: thanks [05:03] joanki: no, it was saved to your desktop [05:03] joanki you are just trying to get realplayer to work, right?

[05:04] tritium, did i screw up anything too badly? [05:04] joanki install realplayer....from synaptic to keep it simple. Then you need to find the .so file...it should be something like librealplay.so, and link it or copy it to the plugins folder in /usr/lib/firefox [05:04] ohhhhhhh [05:04] joanki: I can't tell what you've done from what you've said. Please read the instructions I sent you [05:05] thol, tritium thanks ya'll... i'm gonna hafta do this when i've got an hour to burn... getting ubuntu up and running taking longer than ithought.... thanks sooooooo much [05:05] joanki: did you follow the instructions the first time?

[05:05] yes i did, tritiium [05:05] thol, thx [05:06] joanki: we can try to walk through it more carefully, if you can explain clearly [05:06] really, tritium? [05:06] joanki: yes. You may /query me so as not to flood the channel too much [05:06] what is a / query [05:07] lol [05:07] joanki: like a PM. I'll /query you [05:07] k [05:07] query is a stupidity that is the answer add dumb on it [05:07] TigranG: another problem:I can not use Searching tool in nautilus, is it a bug too? [05:07] how many packages does ubuntu come with by default? [05:08] msvc: available or installed? [05:08] after I install [05:08] how many packages are there on disk? [05:08] msvc uh the installed ones?

[05:09] what astro76 said [05:09] JQ83: That sound like your problem? [05:09] Ashfire908: I don't have ubuntu installed at the moment [05:09] joanki: is your nick registered? [05:09] let me c [05:09] hello, I have a dell m1530, I successfully installed ubuntu and updated to the latest nvidia drivers, the card is a 8600m GT with 256 Megs... when I boot, I do not see the splash, instead all I see is a black screen until GDM loads and I can login. Any ideas? [05:10] uh must be [05:10] msvc: ok... uh i don't know what modules come installed with a standard install [05:10] tritium, i don't know [05:10] i dont think i have to [05:10] i have linux [05:10] msvc, not sure how useful a metric it is, but if I had to guess around 1200 - 1400 [05:10] how many GB of space does that take up? [05:11] do you have a firewaall, tritium? [05:11] joanki: no, I can't send you a /query unless you register your nick with nickserv [05:11] Does anyone know how to forward an internet connection from wifi to my ethernet card? [05:11] weird i've done it before but ok fine how do i do it [05:11] !register | joanki [05:11] joanki: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [05:11] joanki: Nope [05:11] TigranG: thanks a million [05:11] JQ83: No problem. [05:11] flexgrip you need ICS [05:11] the link for ubotu on virtual box has a typo nice [05:12] how do i get a recursive list of dependices? [05:12] REGISTER test123 [05:12] oops [05:12] r0cks: is that a package from synaptic? I was looking at 'route' but have no clue how to use it [05:12] hm i need to practice this crap' [05:12] flexgrip we would need to know more about your network....is the wifi side only one private subnet? [05:12] Ashfire908, install apt-rdepends [05:12] If I want to keep my partition as small as possible, how big should I partition ubuntu? [05:12] 4 Gigs? [05:12] 2GB [05:12] msvc: 2.1 GB is recommended [05:12] 3 GB [05:12] th0r: wlan0 is connected to the internet, eth0 is connected to my xbox [05:12] or is that required? [05:13] msvc, you can play around in around 6gb comfortably [05:13] Good morning everybody [05:13] hi [05:13] flexgrip is the xbox the only thing on the eth0 side? [05:13] I only need about probably a few megabytes of hard disk space [05:13] just for compiling c programs [05:13] th0r: yes [05:13] ? [05:13] no [05:13] you will need (25ish?) meg just for the kernel [05:14] free space after installing ubuntu I mean [05:14] Hello [05:14] whatever the space all the ubuntu stuff takes up [05:14] Hii BloodElf [05:14] When I try to boot into Ubuntu's live CD it goes through loading the kernel [05:14] then a tiny bit of space for c programs and mysql things [05:14] actually not even mysql [05:14] goes to the screen where its all [OK] [05:14] oh yeah ubuntu just keeps racking up kernels instead of removing old ones, so depending on how long you intend to keep this install, you might want to make it bigger [05:14] just c programs [05:15] or delete them I guess [05:15] tritium, i'm registered now [05:15] But then when everything is loaded....the screen goes black and stays black. [05:15] th0r: thats why i dont want to have a lot of setup or router stuff installed. Just static IP's and gutsy bridging or sharing the connection [05:15] flexgrip this is a quick shot...but worth a try...sudo route add wlan0 [05:15] msvc: you want gui or no gui? [05:15] is that an option in the install? [05:15] msvc: sorta [05:15] th0r: can we go private for a second? not in a gay way [05:16] flexgrip not registered...sorry [05:16] ohh [05:16] msvc: did you already get the normal cd? [05:16] Can anyone help me make windows bootdisks using ubuntu? I don't think ubuntu recognizes me floppy drive properly. [05:16] that command doesnt even say anything about eth0 or eth0 to wlan0 or anything. how will it know [05:16] I screwed p and accidentally install Win Xp to my d drive not my C drive. I have heard that you have to have the dumber of the OSes on the first disk, making linux.. on the additional disks. is this true of only LiLo or of Grup as wll? [05:16] *grub [05:17] flexgrip anything coming in on wlan0 will go out the default route unless there is another route...so the default is already set up. All you need is a route TO the xbox [05:17] mzu: I installed xp on the last partition.. it named my windows C drive as F drive.. I can live with that tho [05:17] flexgrip course...I've been wrong before [05:17] mzuverink, it is true of either only if you want to avoid fixing them afterwards [05:17] mzu: vista apparently could do better and name it C [05:17] !fixgrub | mzuverink [05:17] mzuverink: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:18] hello, I have a dell m1530, I successfully installed ubuntu and updated to the latest nvidia drivers, the card is a 8600m GT with 256 Megs... when I boot, I do not see the splash, instead all I see is a black screen until GDM loads and I can login. Any ideas? [05:18] th0r: Just to make sure... the setup is xbox -> eth0 -> wlan0 -> internet. Is that what you thought it was? [05:18] flexgrip nope..had it backwards...so you need route add eth0 [05:19] can someone help me? [05:19] Hello, I tried to boot into a ubuntu liveCD and when I do it works on the screen with the [OK] but after that the screen goes black and nothing happens. This happens in ubuntu and kubuntu in regular and gfx safe mode. Please help. [05:19] ok... I thought something was wrong [05:19] msvc, hello? [05:19] i did a rm -rf /, and all my files went down [05:19] how do I send local mail [05:19] zenrium, windows installed to the deive windows called D.. Darm IDE jumper budar on my part. Nothing is on c its just fat. I want to install ubuntu there, so aside from having to fix grup it sholdwork? [05:19] ubuntu and the black screen of doom - coming to a theatre near you [05:19] Colt7r, ... [05:19] Colt7r, you are lying because that command doesn't work [05:19] flexgrip been a while since I did this...but I think that route will remain after reboot...but again [05:20] Colt7r, --no-preserve-root is necessary or it won't execute [05:20] Can comeone help me? [05:20] th0r: sudo route add eth0. Do I need to manually enter dns settings as well? Or is there a way that I can get the xbox to grab an ip through dhcp? [05:21] !fstab [05:21] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [05:21] Is there a way to write/read/do anything useful to my floppy disks(FAT) in ubuntu? [05:21] aeaehaieuhauiae [05:21] i'm having some responsiveness problems that i wasn't experiencing before. the disk keeps thrashing, and the GNOME performance isn't so good (windows don't drag immediately, etc,) [05:21] bruenig, read the man. --no-preserve-root is by default on. [05:21] flexgrip dns is already set up. You might be able to use dhcp, but would have to route the entire subnet to eth0 so it would take a little toying around. [05:22] i looked in top and see: Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 157488k cached [05:22] --preserve-root do not remove `/' (default) [05:22] noone can anser? [05:22] mzuverink: ya should do if you dont touch the D paritition when installing ubuntu. seeing as your installing ubuntu after XP grub should pick that up and let you dual boot but if it doesnt then you will need to fix it... also you need to worry about a swap partition somewhere :( [05:22] which seems weird to me. why is it showing 0k swap? [05:22] bruenig, huh? [05:22] Ashfire908, that is what mine says [05:22] bruenig, mine says the oppisite. [05:22] th0r: so sudo route add eth0. Do I need to set the gateway and dns on the xbox to the ip of eth0? [05:22] Ashfire908, --preserve-root is default [05:22] Hello, I tried to boot into a ubuntu liveCD and when I do it works on the screen with the [OK] but after that the screen goes black and nothing happens. This happens in ubuntu and kubuntu in regular and gfx safe mode. Please help. [05:23] Ashfire908, hmm, different versions perhaps? [05:23] Cool beans to all with the installdual boot issue! [05:23] bruenig, idk. [05:23] flexgrip not sure about xbox...don't know how smart or dumb it is. [05:23] I have 6.9 [05:23] thanks for you help [05:23] ok I will try and be back in a bit [05:23] bloodelf : tried it on another machine?? what h/w do you have? [05:23] flexgrip you should probably set the default route for the xbox to your eth0 ip [05:23] This happens in both AMD and i386 disc [05:23] ok [05:24] zenrium, im away from home...no other machine [05:24] this happens with EVERY disc I try [05:24] no matter what ubuntu im trying to load [05:24] Aga_Romeu_Pinto agarra o meu [05:24] flexgrip this is the sort of exercise that is a lot of fun because the commands aren't real complex...but it usually takes a few tries to get it all right [05:24] kkkkkk [05:24] but I can boot into other OS's like Gentoo. [05:24] :/ [05:24] bloodelf : v odd. [05:24] BloodElf - What are the specs on the computer? [05:25] Let me pastebin it === Aga_Romeu_Pinto is now known as H_Romeu_Pinto [05:25] thanks for help [05:25] what? [05:25] am i the only one with an occasionallly thrashing disk all of a sudden? [05:25] http://pastebin.ca/838188 [05:25] Specs [05:26] boselecta, could be updatedb running. [05:26] boselecta, once a day the locate database updates. [05:26] boselecta: oh occasional? there are cronned jobs that do things like catalog the disk for commands like locate [05:26] at 10:30pm? [05:26] then ya got the log cleaning/archiving. [05:26] boselecta, next time it happens, run system monitor, see what's running [05:26] Ashfire908: I have Ubuntu Desktop [05:26] the CD [05:27] blood shouldnt be anything wrong with that . nothing stands out and slaps me in the face [05:27] you can't tell it to include programming tools when you install can you? [05:27] msvc alternate or normal [05:27] what [05:27] i keep seeing haldaemon creeping up [05:27] ? [05:27] msvc you can do that after you install [05:27] msvc, no the install is fixed, no options to speak of [05:27] How else can I kill/debug a process that's not responding to kill -9, etc. without a reboot? [05:27] msvc: do you want a gui or a bare bones? [05:27] um [05:28] bare bones is annoying [05:28] BloodElf: This is a laptop? [05:28] you can only do one task at a time [05:28] ksool, get the big hammer, kill -15 [05:28] msvc, have you used ubuntu or any other linux before [05:28] also ata/0 whatever that is [05:28] ksool, doh. [05:28] ifireball [05:28] ksool, if you can, kill it's parent [05:28] I used to use red hat ages ago [05:28] my deepest sympathies [05:29] BloodElf: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=552989&highlight=LiveCD+Hewlett+Packard [05:29] nickrud, still nothing. [05:29] msvc well eh just install [05:29] OK scsi_eh_0, hald, hald_add_on_storage and ata/0 keep running [05:29] BloodElf: That should help [05:29] ksool, the parent thing, not the brain fart -15? [05:30] if I want to install anything other than the standard install, I need another CD right? [05:30] nickrud, Is there any straightforward way to see it's parent? [05:30] ksool, there's a way with ps that escapes me, you can install pstree it makes it simple [05:31] msvc, after you install the system, and restart, do "sudo apt-get install build-essential" to get the compiler. [05:31] is it normal to have swap showing as 0k total, used, and free, but with a non-zero quantity cached? [05:31] what is the best cli webcam app? [05:31] msvc, thers several packages on the cd's that may not be installed by default.. Then of course theres all the updates that are not on the cd. Ubuntu is best with a network connection [05:31] <[deXter]> Does anyone know how to configure wmsm? [05:31] msvc: online update and downloading needed packages after you have done your initial install [05:31] msvc if you want a command line only or some special features in the installer you will need the alternate [05:32] nickrud, ps -ejH has it. [05:32] nickrud, but it doesn't seem like they have any parents. I think the problem may be that I killed their parents. [05:32] Anyone know how to get ALSA to recognize the sound card? lspci shows it, but aplay -l says "aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found..." [05:32] th0r: no go. [05:32] ok, so if I install ubuntu on a partition, and after I install there is no space left on that partition (exactly fits) how many GB is that exactly? [05:33] msvc: i don't know. [05:33] msvc: why does thaat matter much? [05:33] ksool, I've had defunct things, and removing the parent removed the defunct one. Some apps sit right under init, and killing init is the only way [05:33] msvc: not sure...roughly between 1 and 2 gigs? [05:33] The reccomended size for the partitions - depends on what you want to do also. [05:33] flexgrip do you have any idea where it fails? If you can start a ping from the xbox you can use 'watch ifconfig' in ubuntu to see the incoming and outgoing packet counts increase [05:33] Dr_willis: I know, I only want to do C programming [05:33] meliante is here [05:33] msvc, also you want 2 partitions.. the / partition. and the swap partition [05:33] I changed a setting in the power managment and the screen brightness to like 100 precent and the screen is black and I can see the setting so I can change it . I really don't know what to do . I don't know what files govern it? help [05:33] wtf [05:34] msvc: 2.1 GB is the recommend (or required, idk) minumum space for a ubuntu install [05:34] msvc, id say at least 3-4 gb - depending on what you are doing.. it really SUCKS when you run out of space [05:34] msvc, of course you could always just use vmware/virtual box and run ubuntu in that to 'play with' [05:34] msvc I am using 6.5 out of the 15 I set aside for suse [05:34] oh man I'm sure that microwave popcorn just gave me 3 days worth of daily intake of salt... I need a drink! [05:34] BUSH SUX [05:35] !ops | MELIANTE [05:35] MELIANTE: Help! Channel emergency!

It is under system , screensaver and power managment . I am lost any help [05:35] lol [05:35] nixternal, :) [05:35] th0r: I think I am missing something. I mean, that command that you gave me. Does it take traffic from eth0 and send it through wlan0? [05:35] BASH SUX! USE KORN [05:36] nickrud: What does ops do, send to ignore? [05:36] Vote for Vi! [05:36] Shpook, calls in reinforcements [05:36] lmao [05:36] Dr_willis: but I can use parted to shrink my NTFS and expand my ext3 partition [05:36] so I want to start with a small ext3 partition [05:36] can the installer do that? [05:36] shrink ntfs? [05:36] ubiquity? [05:36] flexgrip no...anything that comes in to ubuntu is examined for destination ip. So packets coming in on wlan0 and eth0 have the same route information...the question is not how it comes in...but where it goes once it gets there. [05:37] nickrud: Oh...that makes sense...like one of the channel "ops." How clever am I. lol thanks. [05:37] msvc, use parted to shrink the ntfs. leaving a section of the HD unallocated..let thubuntu installer then partition that unallocated space. Is wha ti do [05:37] BASH SUX! USE KORN [05:37] greater than 3 and less 5 gb for ubuntu installtion with only c programming should be fine [05:37] flexgrip so anything coming in from the xbox is routed like packets generated there in ubuntu...most everything will go out on wlan0 [05:37] chupaaaa: please stop [05:37] ok === lwells is now known as netlarlinux [05:37] what can I do to keep pidgin up to date automatically? [05:37] flexgrip but anything that shows up addressed to the xbox will go out on eth0...and only things addressed to the xbox [05:37] is anyone running an apt-server for it? [05:37] th0r: Does my eth0 connection need to have the ip of wlan0 as its gateway? [05:37] could somebody please tell me whether it is normal for top to report 0k swap? [05:38] !sound [05:38] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:38] if you don't have swap [05:38] then you don't have it [05:38] it's a partition [05:38] <[deXter]> Does anyone know how to configure wmsm ? [05:38] Thank you ubotu. [05:38] flexgrip your ubuntu needs a gateway...the same gateway applies to both eth0 and wlan0 [05:38] boselecta, zero used, available or total? [05:38] all except i have non-zero cached [05:38] flexgrip again, it is strictly a question of where the packets go OUT...they will come in regardless of the routing [05:39] can anyone help with speaker problem? [05:39] !sound [05:39] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:39] flexgrip you can see the entire routing table with the command 'route -n' [05:39] netlarlinux be more specific too when you ask questions here [05:40] th0r: well right now, it has one im assuming since im on the internet talking to you. wlan0 gets an ip from dhcp. eth0 is connected straight to my xbox. eth0 is 192.168.1.10 mask is 255.255.255.0 and no gateway. xbox is 192.168.1.66 with the gateway and dns set to 192.168.1.10 (the ip of eth0). It cant connect setup like this. Even after route add xboxip eth0 [05:40] Hello :) I think I made a bit of a mistake: I accidently removed the tray on the panel that has the icons for open programs (like pidgin)...how do I get it back? [05:41] flexgrip from ubuntu can you ping 192.168.1.66? [05:41] Ashfire908: Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free, 168628k cached [05:41] I am having trouble with the balance on my speakers, only on one speaker [05:41] I cannot find anywhere where you can adjust the balance for the volume [05:41] hello everyone [05:41] nope. is that because it is trying to ping through wlan0 and the xbox is connected to eth0? [05:41] hello_, add the notification area back to the panel [05:42] hello_: right click on a blank spot on your panel then drag the notification area to the panel. [05:42] It is not in the Mixer settings that I can see [05:42] does anyone run the lfslivecd on virtual box? [05:42] Ah, yes, that worked. Thank you! [05:42] flexgrip not if you have the route correct. if you try 'route -n' you should see a route for the destination .66 going out on eth0 [05:42] arm9_linux, linux from scratch live cd? isn't that an oxymoron? [05:42] nickrud: beat me to it, i just forgot what the name was to add from panel [05:43] flexgrip pastebin the output from route -n [05:43] th0r: 192.168.1.66 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 [05:43] TigranG, yah, but flatline-kun gave the best help :) [05:43] nickrun,yes . linux from scratch [05:43] th0r: 0.0.0.0 is what it says for gateway [05:43] flexgrip: both sides have to have a route toward each other [05:43] flexgrip that looks correct...but I don't even know if xbox will respond to ping [05:43] .. is ther a way to install ubuntu while at the same time running linux? [05:44] for vbox si light and faster [05:44] nickrud: meh, he just fluffed up the instructions ;) [05:44] Only the right speaker has any sound coming out of it, both speakers work on the MS box that I have [05:44] boselecta, i don't think it should be 0kb... [05:44] boselecta, try "sudo swapon -a [05:44] *" [05:44] OK how do i look at my partition table? === cr_tmn_FS_ is now known as Asmahani [05:44] fdisk -l [05:44] rorisc: what do you mean, you are installing it on a machine and what? [05:44] boselecta, no, just run "sudo swapon -a" [05:45] So does the xbox need to have its gateway set to the ip of eth0? [05:45] flexgrip snugg is right...but I don't know how you would define a route in an xbox [05:45] netlarlinux: check the balance? [05:45] I need help, when ever wine configures it's self it makes my pc freeze (No response from mouse or keyboard) any suggestions? [05:45] I do not see where in Ubuntu I can check the balance TigranG [05:45] flexgrip: thats correct, how you set that in your xbox, i dont know [05:45] snugg, something like a virtual image (as in vmware) but that I can boot into when it's done [05:45] i'm getting "cannot canonicalize" and "cannot stat" errors [05:46] netlarlinux: top right (by default) volume control === arooni________ is now known as arooni [05:46] rorisc: you can be running your ubuntu and have vmware running on it, then another os is installing or running off of the vmware [05:46] snugg: that is the way its set. I have the xbox's gateway set to that of eth0. [05:46] netlarlinux: or Alt+f2 and type gnome-volume-control [05:46] flexgrip snugg the xbox should create packets addressed to whoever, and routed via the gateway that is defined as 192.168.1.10. At .10 the packets will be analyzed and routed via the routing table....so it should all work [05:46] boselecta, idk if this has any effect on this but wern't you just trying to kill hal and other hardware processes? [05:47] Ok I see the volume control [05:47] why does apt-get ALWAYS remove googleearth when i remove ia32-libs??? [05:47] no i wasn't messing with killing. i just was seeing them turn on and off in top. [05:47] snugg, yes I see what you mean; but once the guest OS is up and running on vmware, can I take it live, and boot right into it? [05:47] Is anyone else having problems updating WINE? [05:47] thor: wait a second. I am setting the ip of eth0 in the network manager. how do i tell if it actually set it? [05:47] it looks like swapon is looking for a uuid that doesn't exist in /dev/disk/by-uuid [05:47] <[deXter]> Doesn't *anyone* here know anything about wmsm? [05:47] flexgrip can you ping from the xbox? [05:47] hey al [05:47] Beererde: Does it depend on it to run, maybe [05:47] flexgrip: its okay for the xbox to have the eth0 of ubuntu to be its gateway or 0.0.0.0 since there are only two of them on that subnet [05:47] *all [05:47] Mouse trouble: the thumb button on my mouse opens a panel, really annoying considering i use it when browsing. could someone help me figure out why/how to stop it? [05:47] I updated my kernel, but its overwritten my menu.lst [05:48] and now I can't boot [05:48] does it make a backup? [05:48] TigranG: yes, but this is annoying. something is wrong with my 32 bit libs, yesterday, googleearth did not run, i reinstalled it, but now firefox does not run and vice versa [05:48] flatline-kun, Yes, I have problems with wine it freezes my pc when it configures it's self [05:48] daurnimator if it does it will be in /boot/grub [05:48] duarminator: you need to use your live cd and run grub [05:48] th0r: no the xbox doesnt have ping feature. but it has a network tester that just says where it fails and it fails at the ip address step. even though it has one [05:48] Beererde_: Dunno [05:48] the problem is that it gets it's drives mixed up [05:49] flexgrip are you sure the xbox will work with a static ip? [05:49] daurnimator: how did you verify that the kernel was overwritten by menu.lst? [05:49] TigranG: can i reinstall a package without removing it? just dload it again and copy it over? [05:49] Ashfire908: it looks like swapon is looking for a uuid that doesn't exist in /dev/disk/by-uuid [05:49] and I can't remember what they were before (when I changed them last time) [05:49] boselecta, then fix it :) [05:49] th0r: yeah i have done it before. [05:49] does anyone have any experience getting bluetooth headphones to work with gutsy? any ideas on how to do it? (pls dont refer me to the wiki how to get bluetooth working ... cuz i read it and it doesnt work) [05:49] flexgrip I am pretty sure of the routing...suspect the problem is in the xbox...something there we are missing [05:49] snugg: other way around, a kernel upgrade replaces all the grub files [05:49] !bluetooth [05:49] m1k3: Sorry...I didn't mean using WINE...I mean actually upgrading through Synaptic. I can't seem to connect to wine.budgetdeicated.com. [05:49] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [05:49] Beererde_: Not sure. [05:50] haha, crushin, he said no wiki :P [05:50] how do i manually set an ip to eth0 from the command line? [05:50] or check to see what its set at [05:50] I cant seem to install ubuntu on a low end laptop [05:50] flexgrip, ifconfig [05:50] flexgrip: ifconfig [05:50] daurnimator: the entry on menu.lst just need to be upgraded to have an entry to point to the new kernel [05:50] flexgrip ifconfig eth0 [05:50] flexgrip: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 [05:50] ubuntu forum is wiki ? [05:50] daurminator: see if theres a menu.lst~ file, if you use gedit [05:50] the live cd installer is so slow that when it tries to ask for the language it just hangs indefinitely [05:50] Crusher, no [05:51] phantomcircuit, why not try xubuntu? [05:51] TigranG: there is, but its the same as the one without the ~ [05:51] oh [05:51] flexgrip what is the address of wlan0? [05:51] ps, I'm currently (dual) booted into windows on the comp [05:51] flexgrip: alternatively, edit /etc/network//interfaces if you want a permanent config... [05:51] phantomcircuit: what are the specs of the computer you're trying to run it on? [05:51] Beererde_ : apt-get install --reinstall [05:51] daurnimator: Why don't you manually set the partitions for it. [05:51] I can change it from here, but to test I have to reboot [05:51] Flexgrip: are you using a router or a 'flipped' cable [05:52] TigranG: I did last time..... but it took me about an hour going through all my partitions till I found the correct one [05:52] phantomcircuit: The Live CD might require too much of your computer. Options: Xubuntu, or using the Alternate install cd (not a live cd environment) [05:52] why do ppl still dual boot with the avaiilability of free virtualization software [05:52] zcat[1]: before flexgrip can do that, he is testing his connectivity between his ubuntu and xbox [05:52] I stupidly didn't write it down [05:52] daurnimator: how many do you have o.O [05:52] flatline-kun: thx very much! [05:52] ac7ss he has an xbox on connected to eth0 and wants to route out wlan0 [05:52] 7 drives [05:52] haha [05:52] most with 2 partitions [05:52] i prefer never to turn my computer off... even if its a laptop i still run in 24.7 or i would only hibernate it [05:52] wweasel: it's a 1.2ghz 512mb ram with integrated video [05:52] phantomcircuit: the minimal installer might do the trick as well see !minimal for more info [05:52] how can i see if i am already uploading something from ubuntu? [05:52] and I have to go through them all with a diff hdd set as defaulth [05:52] daurnimator: well what drive is it installed on, then you just have 2 partitions to test [05:52] He is using a 'flipped' network cable, right? [05:53] daurnimator: can't you do fdisk -l [05:53] ikon ? [05:53] !minimal [05:53] 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 [05:53] TigranG: not on windows? [05:53] ac7ss oh...not sure. Aren't most cards autodetect nowadays? [05:53] ac7ss: its called cross over cable.. [05:53] daurnimator: oh right [05:53] teknoprep [05:53] teknoprep, what free virtualization software you talking about? [05:53] !Alternate CD [05:53] The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [05:53] ok. I have a question. Can anyone walk me through setting up my dialup-modem and the connection for it? [05:53] daurnimator: If you run the live cd, it will find it for you. [05:53] phantomcircuit: You're better off with the Alternate CD which I recommended than the Minimal CD. [05:53] Hello everyone. I'm not entirely sure what open proxies are, but I got a menacing email saying that my Ubuntu server was blacklisted, and that I should check for open proxies on my system. I tried googling, but couldn't find anything that I could understand. Could someone possibly help me check my system for open proxies, and close them down if any are found? [05:53] rorisc, qemu vmware-server vserver xen [05:53] Ashfire908: done. thanks for your help. [05:53] phantomcircuit there is also fluxbuntu ... very minimal distro [05:53] boselecta, k [05:54] crushin_: flexbuntu is way more minimal than he has to go. [05:54] fluxbuntu will run on anything [05:54] TigranG: no it won't :P I have an extra IDE controller, which screws it all up, also, when I change the boot order, it goes out of wack too [05:54] thank you (I couldn't remember the name) [05:54] daurnimator: ! .. [05:54] fluxbuntu will run on a damn 486 33mhz with 32megs of ram [05:54] daurnimator: good luck [05:54] im pretty sure the laptop can run it once instlaled the cd drive is very slow and i think it is constantly swapping out code into memory as it uses all available up [05:54] th0r/snugg: Ok, I got it passed the ip address step. but the xbox is now failing on contacting the dns [05:54] teknoprep [05:54] ikon, [05:55] flexgrip ok....in a terminal 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' and get the dns addresses...then put them in the xbox [05:55] il12_: It's going to be hard to find someone here to help you with your dialup modem. I'd advise you check out the ubuntu community wiki [05:55] daurnimator: can you run fdisk from livecd? [05:55] teknoprep: how can i see if i am already uploading something from ubuntu? [05:55] flexgrip: is ubuntu providing the dns services? [05:55] flexgrip, echo "YOU.IP.ADDY.of.YOUR.dns.server" >> /etc/resolv.conf [05:55] snugg: no my router is [05:55] ikon: you mean downloading? [05:55] I can get the real dns server address from my router [05:55] th0r: thats on the ubuntu side, he needs it on the xbox side [05:55] ikon, uploading from where? [05:55] tritium: no [05:55] TigranG: yes, but results are different to when in a real install [05:56] daurnimator: aH [05:56] from my ubuntu teknoprp [05:56] flexgrip: but your ubuntu is in-between your router and xbox right? [05:56] yes [05:56] ikon: typically, you don't upload to ubuntu.com [05:56] il12_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto [05:56] teknoprep: you mean to where lol [05:56] snugg he should be able to use the same nameservers on both sides...ubuntu will just forward the packets on [05:56] flexgrip, actually you need to do this ... echo "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" >> /etc/resolv.conf [05:56] mytruehero : Try http://www.richard.zonnet.nl/cgi-bin/nph-proxycheck [05:56] wweasel: alright, then. Thank you. I bought an Ubuntu book, even though it's for Feisty, but I figured that at least most things would be similar, just with some updated versions. [05:56] wweasel: tyvm2 [05:56] !!* [05:56] TigranG, no i mean from what program [05:56] oh [05:56] k [05:56] teknoprep I think that will screw a working resolv.conf [05:56] :) [05:56] tritium: i am uploading a file to a webpage [05:56] il12_: Is it a hardware modem or a winmodem? [05:56] from my pc [05:56] do i just need to know my dns servers real ip? because i can just get it from my router. [05:57] th0r, no it will just add a new line to the resolv.conf [05:57] How do I make files like batch files for terminal? I'm getting tired of cding to certain directories and just want to run a file to do it. [05:57] flatline-kun: I found that site, but I'm unfortunately not on the machine I need to test. My Ubuntu server is a VPS which I only have console access to. [05:57] wweasel: it's an internal modem on this laptop. [05:57] th0r: not easily if one side is on different subnet [05:57] th0r, with his new nameserver [05:57] well it's weird because i cant do things using the live cd that would seem to require a very large amount of RAM but when i try to install it fails [05:57] ? [05:57] th0r, if you only did one > [05:57] reportingsjr: make scripts with bash [05:57] th0r, then it would overwrite the file [05:57] echo "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" >> /etc/resolv.conf - is xxx.xxx. the real ip of my dns server? or what do i put there? [05:58] mytruehero : can you use links2? [05:58] flexgrip, yes [05:58] ok [05:58] teknoprep that ip is already in resolv.conf. [05:58] one second. i will try it and be back [05:58] what's the command to delete a file? [05:58] Alright, I just tried re-installing the ALSA drivers, that didn't work. Now I'm gonna try and get the specific driver my my audio, and pray that it works. After this, I'm fresh out of ideas. [05:58] th0r, is it? [05:58] teknoprep resolv.conf on ubuntu works....he needs to get that ip into the xbox [05:58] teknoprep: how can i see if i am already uploading something from my pc with ubuntu to a webpage? there is no progress bar, so, i need a command to know [05:58] teknoprep the problem is in getting the xbox to work through ubuntu [05:58] reportingsjr: you could make aliases in your .bashrc file [05:59] th0r, getting the xbox working with ubuntu how? [05:59] il12_: Ok, well I must warn you that, regrettably modem support is quite poor under Linux. Some modems simply will not work. Many you can get to work, but the process is somewhat difficult, I suppose especially so if you're new to Linux. [05:59] th0r, what does he want to do with it? [05:59] teknoprep he is trying to route the xbox (eth0) through ubuntu and out on wlan0 to the internet === [ID]-1551 is now known as tender [05:59] ikon, just wait... ? [05:59] can someone help me find a driver that works for ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT : everytime i enable ati accelerated graphics driver in restricted drivers it wont let me boot back up when everything starts up it gives me a powernowd error [05:59] teknoprep: xbox -> eth0 -> wlan0 -> internet [05:59] ikon, you could try ntop [05:59] ac7ss: Thanks! [05:59] teknoprep: no [06:00] ubuntu inbetween eth0 and wlan0 [06:00] ac7ss: Where is that file? [06:00] teknoprep: ok [06:00] teknoprep ubuntu is working, it is the xbox and the routing he is working on [06:00] ikon, ntop can map out ports and ip addys or traffic inbound and outbound to all network cards === tender is now known as [ID]-4872 [06:00] flatline-kun: I've never used it before... I installed it, let me see if I can make it work! [06:00] th0r, what routing [06:00] th0r, is his ubuntu server the firewall also ? [06:00] mytruehero : 'links2 http://www.richard.zonnet.nl/cgi-bin/nph-proxycheck' [06:00] flexgrip that dns address needs to go into the xbox...just take the address from /etc/resolv.conf and copy it to the xbox [06:00] shpook: there is a fix on this page in regards to aumix you might like to try if your all out of options - http://graynoise.konfuzo.net/poots.php [06:00] how works ntop ? [06:01] ikon, apt-get install ntop [06:01] .bashrc is in your ~ directory... [06:01] ikon, man ntop [06:01] lol poots, smt bad in another language [06:01] Could anyone give me some help with my mouse and, presumably, xorg.conf? My thumbbutton opens up a panel, very annoyingly, and I can't figure how I would get it not to. [06:01] wweasel, if you are using ubuntu with gnome... look at your mouse options [06:02] wweasel, under system [06:02] flatline-kun: It found no open proxies. I should be relieved, but I'd feel better if I could figure out why I tripped the spam list's filter and lock it down. Hmm. [06:02] mytruehero : Where was the email from? [06:02] hello, somebody can help me, i have a really trouble, i am new to ubuntu, the issue, is that right now i have installed ubuntu 7.10, but when i restart my laptop it doesn't shows anything until it reach the login screen [06:02] you know whats amusing.. is that vista can't run on an ati 7500 but comiz can... with better looking eyecandy then vista will ever give [06:02] wweasel http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-506409.html [06:02] teknoprep: You mean System > Preferences > Mouse? That is a minimal control panel. Certainly doesn't control the mouse buttons' behaviour. [06:03] other trouble that i have is don't have sound [06:03] flatline-kun: http://cbl.abuseat.org/faq.html [06:03] i seem to be bleeding [06:03] th0r: ok resolve.conf gave me 192.168.1.1 [06:03] i guess is because my laptop is a toshiba satellite l35 sp1011, somebody knows about my problem? [06:03] your router [06:03] th0r: so i put that in the xbox360 and it didnt work. then i got the real dns ip from my router and that didnt work either [06:04] wweasel, i would ask the guys in #gnome .. they can help you with that better then here [06:04] flexgrip, what are you trying to do? [06:04] flexgrip: it will not work because they are in different subnets, the dns server in your router is not getting the correct request from xbox [06:04] teknoprep: It has nothing to do with Gnome, AFAIK. Mouse buttons are controlled by the Xserver, not the window manager really. [06:04] flexgrip, i can point you in the right direction [06:04] ok [06:04] here is the map of what im doing [06:05] wweasel, then change the mouse button using xorg.conf [06:05] mytruehero : Are you running an SMTP server? [06:05] flexgrip you might have a problem using the same network on both wlan0 and eth0....need to tell the router to forward 192.168.1.66 to 192.168.1.10...and I don't think that can be done [06:05] wweasel, to do that you would join #xorg [06:05] hi all [06:05] teknoprep: what command i should use? [06:05] !Alternate CD [06:05] The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [06:05] teknoprep: This is the best support channel for my problem to my knowledge. [06:05] ikon, to do what? [06:05] wweasel: you could use xev to check your mappings and then search gconf-editor to see if some app is picking up on that (I am assuming you already checked xorg.conf) [06:05] how can I set the virtual console resolution to 1280x800x8 ? [06:05] flexgrip: typically your router will act as a DNS proxy and by default, provides it's own address as DNS when it answers a DHCP request.. [06:05] wweasel, that link I sent has an example of a five button mouse and settings in xorg.conf [06:05] wweasel: just a thought [06:05] teknoprep: to see uploadings from my pc [06:06] wweasel, actually i would suggest www.google.com [06:06] I mean what I have to add in grub conf file ? [06:06] Does anyone have any idea why I have to be root in order to view MSHOME from Ubuntu? [06:06] ikon, you have to ready [06:06] hello chennal [06:06] teknoprep: i dont understand [06:06] i have to leave this channel now.. general lack of intelegence [06:06] and i am drunk [06:06] later all [06:06] i would like to know if ubuntu with compiz will work with my sysconfig?

[06:07] the catalist 7.2 works [06:07] mytruehero : You got blacklisted because you have an open relay on your smtp server.

[06:09] now what crushin_ ?

Any ideas? [06:10] teknoprep, th0r, ushimitsudoki: http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/2271/mouseproblemji3.png - this panel opens. I figure it can be fixed in xorg.conf, but I'm not sure why it's happening in the first place. [06:10] what distro ? [06:10] th0r, that's not cheating, that's creative appropriation. Thanks [06:10] ubuntu [06:10] flexgrip: off course being eth0 is in same subnet as the xbox [06:10] flatline-kun: It says: "Could not connect to (ip) on port 25" [06:10] k brb [06:10] ikon version ?

Scroll Up and Scroll down are considered 2 buttons, scrolls sides aren't... [06:11] How do I load a new window manager into my installation? [06:11] crushin_: that's meaningless [06:11] flatline-kun: Same result. [06:11] wweasel: left click, right click, back/forward? [06:11] emosamurai: could you be more specific? [06:12] wweasel: when you click anywhere? That menu should show on a right click on a title bar I think [06:12] I want Enlightenment, but I can't find it on Synaptic. This is so noob, I know. [06:12] ae you trying to install kde or what? [06:12] ah ok [06:12] wweasel: is it the back/forward button that opens up that menu [06:12] e17? [06:12] ushimitsudoki: Yep! [06:12] well i just decided to mount the iso with loopback device and use "cp *" instead of extract here. cp gives proper filenames [06:12] Oh, wait. Packaged search. Thanks, Aslan. [06:12] ushimitsudoki, TigranG: The forward button opens it when I click anywhere.

[06:12] that works [06:12] aaaaaaaaaaaai [06:12] flatline-kun: I ran nmap on my ip, and the only ports open were 22, 80, two ports that I have web servers listening on, and 5060 (which is the only one I don't recognize) [06:12] masturbation [06:13] ikon .gr8 [06:13] xtknight you should look at fuseiso for mounting an iso [06:13] ooh ooh ooh ooh uhh uhh uhh [06:13] wweasel: first step is identy the button, use xev and see what button is being signaled [06:13] Hi Ya [06:13] mytruehero : 5060 is a VOIP port [06:13] TigranG: It has standard 3 buttons, scroll goes in 4 directions, has 2 browser back/forward thumb buttons + 3 useless tiny buttons for zoom or wtvr. Logitech MX600 mouse. [06:13] flatline-kun: Yeah, that's what I saw when I googled... not sure why it's open, though. [06:14] wweasel: have you tried btnx ? [06:14] wweasel: Yea I've seen a tutorial that adds to xorg.conf file for back/forward to work [06:14] mytruehero : What version of sendmail do you have installed? [06:14] i only have a wifi connection (i have no access to the router it is locked up in my dads room.... so i cant mess with it :( lol) i have a bcm43xx card and i need to download everything on windows for the upgrade to ubuntu linux 7.10 so i need to know everything i need to download first in windows to get my wireless card working without internet [06:14] now what crushin? [06:14] aslan, TigranG: I've used btnx to get back/forward to work properly. That's not my concern. Every time I use the forward button, it goes forward, but it also opens that damn panel :P [06:15] flatline-kun: 1.8, it looks like [06:15] wweasel: which panel? [06:15] Ikon that should show youi any uploads and or downloads . [06:15] wweasel: sorry I missed your question [06:15] aslan: right click drop down menu [06:15] Sound Blasters isnt supported by linux? [06:15] task1 yes it is [06:15] ushimitsudoki: Ok, I'm trying to do that. The xev output is rather complex. It should tell me what button # it is, right? [06:15] crushin_: it dont show anything [06:15] what is the kernel version for ubuntu 5.04? [06:15] hola a todos [06:16] anyone going to tell me what i need to download first? [06:16] vegpuff: whatever you make it [06:16] aslan: Whenever i use the forward thumbbutton in any window, this panel opens: http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/2271/mouseproblemji3.png [06:16] snugg: ok i set eth0 and the xbox on a diff subnet. then told the xbox that the dns server was eth0 wlan0 my router and my real dns server ip and none of them worked. [06:16] !wireless [06:16] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [06:16] mytruehero : Here's a page about closing the sendmail relay. [06:16] wweasel: look for the "ButtonPress" or "ButtonRelease" events ... the next to last parameter will show the button map number [06:16] silent_: isn't the kernel version specific for a specific download of ubuntu? [06:16] mytruehero : Here's a page about closing the sendmail relay - http://www.uic.edu/depts/accc/ecomm/openrelay.html [06:17] SpamInaCan you need to download the ubuntu 7.10 live cd, burn it to cd and install from there [06:17] ushimitsudoki: Button 3. [06:17] flexgrip: you still need to run port forwarding in your ubuntu and perhaps even run dhcpd server plus NAT [06:17] wweasel: i won't hurt to check all your buttons while you are in there for future reference, BTW [06:17] snugg: anything in synaptic that can handle all of that? [06:17] vga=0x361 doesn't work [06:17] SpamInaCan you should be able to get the wifi working from the live cd before you even install ubuntu. [06:18] flatline-kun: Hmm, perhaps I'm not really running version 1.8. How can I tell what version I have installed? [06:18] flexgrip: the dhcp server is perhaps, the other two is handled by iptables thats already in ubuntu [06:18] ushimitsudoki: It gives interesing output between buttonpress and buttonrelease. Pastebinning it so you can look at it. [06:18] Well, ubotu helped me get my sound working with a link it provided, but it still wasn't coming through the speakers. Did you know that the "mic" input on the soundcard won't output sound? lol It's fixed now. [06:18] wweasel: the reason you get that menu is cause that button is mapped as button 3, if you edit the xorg.conf file it will be fixed. just my 2 cents [06:18] wweasel: thats how it was for me [06:18] wweasel: speaking from experience [06:18] i installed fluxbox and i logged in and i have no menu when i right click. ive been using fluxbox for a few years and this is the 1st time i dont have a menu. i also dont have the fluxbox menu generator on this system [06:19] hello! [06:19] HI [06:19] th0r i need to download the firmware file and bcm43xx-something before it will install :( [06:19] wweasel: I agree with TigranG ... your mappings need to be changed I think [06:19] From Ubuntu, I can access my network's samba shares as root, but not as a regular user... Any ideas, anyone? [06:19] snugg the problem he will have is at the router. The router will forward anything on it's subnet (192.168.1.x) out on the wifi, but it won't know what to do with the 192.168.200.x for the xbox [06:19] how can anyone 'accidentally' run an open relay these days? by default sendmail is locked down tighter than a swiss back last time I checked, it takes effort to make it less secure.. [06:19] and on the live cd i have no internet :( [06:19] *bank [06:19] what can i do crushin_? [06:20] SpamInaCan not sure...don't have any experience with that. I thought the bcm43xx module was included with ubuntu...but might be wrong. The live cd would be the way to know. [06:20] ushimitsudoki, TigranG: I figured that would be the gist of it. That would be: Option "ButtonMappings "a b c d e", correct? How do I get that done properly? [06:20] th0r: it would know once he has the NAT working and port_forwarding working [06:20] mytruehero : from the server, 'telnet localhost 25' will tell you which version you are running. [06:20] SpanInaCan: I had a lot of issues on the live cd, but when i installed, they were fixed [06:20] Can anybody help me with a problem configuring dual monitors? [06:20] i'm having very serious performance issues. it just took me 12 minutes to reboot and log in to a usable session [06:20] bcm43xx module is included, but not the firmware - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405219 has some info you might find useful..

[06:21] crushin_: firefox [06:21] but i don't know if that's the cause. also my system seems not to use any of its swap space. [06:21] i have a 120gb external hd ^_^ [06:21] th0r: the router already have, it is able to nat his wlan0 which is 192.168.1.x [06:21] snugg as Iunderstand it...anything that isn't the wifi router's subnet would be sent out the ethernet towards the internet [06:21] portable 2 ^_^ [06:21] all you need is the bcm43xx-fwcutter package and firmware download.. install the package, cut the firmware manually, then your wifi should be working and you can get everything else via that [06:21] mytruehero: are you from the future? [06:22] wweasel: Yep, set to button 3, right click [06:22] ure *uploading to ubuntu site using firefox? [06:22] mytruehero : hrmmm...supposedly with that version the relay is closed. [06:22] wweasel: Once you edit xorg.conf it will be fixed [06:22] wwweasel: that output is to be expected, xev reports on lots of events...in this case you are just trying to determine your button mappings so you can set up xorg.conf correctly [06:22] where do i get bcm43xx-fwcutter?, and where do i get the firmware? [06:22] Can anybody help me with a problem configuring dual monitors? [06:22] th0r: nothing is forwarded by the router unless it has a destination it recognized [06:22] snugg yeah...you're right....it would have the port assignment from the outgiong packet...nevermind...brain fart [06:22] and lastly how do i cut it myself and where do i cut it to/? [06:22] wweasel: You're using a different program to configure forward/backward, that's why you're getting both of the actions happening [06:22] shadowh511: v8.14.1 of sendmail :P [06:22] SpamInaCan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405219 has a few links.. I think they link to the package somewhere in there.. [06:22] shadowh511: also, yes [06:23] !mouse [06:23] Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [06:23] rkj: if you have the hardy alpha, you should be able to set up dual monitors by rebooting [06:23] * TigranG wonders why rafb.net isn't used [06:23] mytruehero: rly? [06:23] for one thing my messages log file is filling up with "Dec 29 23:14:58 localhost parport0: INFO: open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds... " but i don't know if that's the cause. also my system seems not to use any of its swap space. i think it's related to a bunch of updates, including a kernel update that were recently installed. [06:23] TigranG: Right. Thought that's slightly immaterial, because standard procedure is to use imwheel to configure back/forward, i'm just using btnx, which i believe is a bit more advanced and goes beyond just xorg's button reporting. [06:23] shadowh511: what is "the hardy alpha"? [06:23] hi there jariell [06:24] and my disk is thrashing [06:24] Shpook: We're past that, but thanks for the help [06:24] i am jariep1 [06:24] fellas how are you [06:24] anybody talking about crumpets and scones [06:24] Was easier for me.. I plugged in my rt2400 card, and used that to download the packages I needed to get the inbuilt bcm43xx working.. [06:24] wweasel: The problem is xorg here, its mapped to do that, you need to change it [06:24] TigranG: You're right. My "back" button = button 2, and forward is button 3, right click. [06:24] crushin_ : firefox [06:24] and baigels [06:24] rkj: the alpha build of 8.04, it just has different software (packages) installed [06:24] shadowh511: Yes. I've come back in time to fix a problem on my webserver that will eventually result in the destruction of the internet and the end of western civilization. You'd better start thinking about helping me! [06:25] and me too! [06:25] its the alpha build of ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) [06:25] TigranG: I'd love to learn what the 'Option "ButtonMapping"' line is doing, and what it means. Time for some man pages and trial and error, me thinks. [06:25] I am using xfce volume control on Xubuntu, I do not see where I can adjust the balance, can someone help me? [06:25] shadowh511: I have Feisty. [06:25] wweasel: Past what? I called ubotu for the link to mapping mouse buttons lol. [06:25] SpamInaCan you might start here....http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/utils/bcm43xx-fwcutter [06:25] wweasel: MAKE SURE to back up xorg [06:25] i am trying to start pidgin...it seems to load (i see it in system monitor) but nothing shows up on the desktop [06:25] ummmmm hardy problems..? #ubuntu+1 perhaps? [06:25] Shpook: Oh! I thought you were helping me out :P Good luck with your mouse buttons :) [06:25] any ideas? [06:25] I tried to run gnome-volume-control, does not seem to work, cannot get into the program [06:25] Ikon . I am stumped . maybe there is another here who has more information than me . If you have any up or downloads going then top or ntop should show you if you are using firefox. [06:26] wweasel: on my attemps for trial and error for the mouse, I couldn't log in [06:26] TigranG: Not to worry. I've been around linux long enough :) [06:26] then run this line in a terminal 'sudo update-manager -d' to upgrade to 7.10 then again to upgrade to 8.04 [06:26] how can I adjust the balance on xubuntu [06:26] hi , anyone can help me with a firefox issue [06:26] wweasel: I've been in and out and not watching chat. :-) Mapping on this trackball is tricky though. Thank you! [06:26] mytruehero : I dunno. The other possibility is that there is a bug in your contact me code and someone has used it to send spam. [06:26] wweasel: heh :) [06:26] i installed firefox from source [06:26] SpamInaCan and here http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 [06:26] but i dont see the icon in the menu [06:26] im using gnome [06:26] some here knows how to use ntop? [06:26] some here who knows how to use ntop? [06:26] TigranG: This mouse is really ridiculous though. xev is telling me it has 8 buttons :P [06:27] wweasel: lol [06:27] TigranG: And linux just ignores it's useless "zoom" buttons. [06:27] shadowh511: I have a hunch that will cause more problems than it will fix. [06:27] chable: you didn't need to do that [06:27] does ubuntu 7.10 come with debconf 0.5 or greater, libc6 (2.4.4-1 or greater)???? [06:27] what do you mean tritium [06:27] wweasel: Yea, it recognizes the email button on my mouse but not the chat [06:27] chable: ubuntu comes with firefox [06:27] has anybody had any luck compiling Cheese from source in Feisty? [06:27] wweasel: its ...drunk [06:27] oh , im on debian [06:27] i'm having very serious performance issues that recently crept up and i don't know how to fix it. for one thing my messages log file is filling up with "Dec 29 23:14:58 localhost parport0: INFO: open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds... " but i don't know if that's the cause. also my system seems not to use any of its swap space. and my disk is thrashing. i think it's related to a bunch of updates, including a kernel update [06:27] that were recently installed. [06:27] testing it [06:27] It must be something obvious [06:27] some here who knows how to use ntop? [06:27] and it had iceweasel [06:27] rkj: if anything, it will give you more desktop effects and stability [06:27] SpamInaCan: I could check that for you, but you can too. From the terminal, do "apt-cache show " [06:27] i am trying to start pidgin...its loads up to where i can see it in system monitor but there is no window or anything else on the desktop...any ideas? [06:28] * TigranG loves the random spasms of chatting in this channel [06:28] biff420: are you sure you're on the right virtual desktop? [06:28] so i removed iceweasel and got firefox [06:28] wweasel i am on windows looking to upgrade to linux but i need everything to get wifi working without a network connection first [06:28] shadowh511: hmmm ... "alpha" and "stability" together? [06:28] SpamInaCan: http://packages.ubuntu.com [06:28] biff420: pidgin was installed either installed incorrectly or it is minimised into the system tray [06:28] uzerzero: yes...ive checked them all...it doesnt even show up in AWN [06:28] I am running Ubuntu 7.10 & wondering what would be a nice clean backup program to use to be able to backup files to external HDD [06:29] can anyone assist me ? [06:29] flatline-kun: Hmm, that could be possible. I'll check through my logs and see if I can spot anything fishy. [06:29] arlbee: rsync? [06:29] wweasel how do i tell if it comes with a standard 7.10 install [06:29] ? [06:29] rkj: i am running hardy right now and my laptop is 3X faster than it was on 7.10 [06:29] arlbee grsync [06:29] In xorg.conf, I can delete everything "wacom" if I don't use a tablet, right? Also, how do I fix the problem where it doesn't save the screen resolution when I set it in nvidia-settings? [06:29] arlbee grsync is a gui frontend to rsync [06:30] SpamInaCan: all 7.10 installations come with the option to install bcm43xx firmware [06:30] i think i am going to just reinstall gutsy [06:30] ok, guess it is not that obvious [06:30] uzerzero without internet? [06:30] arlbee: tar cvpzf /backup/backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/media / [06:30] shadowh511: hmmm ... cool.

[06:30] hi all, I'm wondering if anyone knows of p2p software that is controllable by means of http ? [06:30] how do i set up a new menu item so that it calls sudo before running the program? [06:30] biff420: run 'sudo apt-get remove pidgin;sudo apt-get install pidgin' to reinstall pidgin !!!IN TERMINAL!!! [06:30] is it available in the Synaptic package Manager ? [06:30] shadowh511: there is a reinstall option [06:30] i'm having very serious performance issues that recently crept up and i don't know how to fix it. for one thing my messages log file is filling up with "Dec 29 23:14:58 localhost parport0: INFO: open device failed; will retry in 30 seconds... " but i don't know if that's the cause. also my system seems not to use any of its swap space. and my disk is thrashing. i think it's related to a bunch of updates, including a kernel update [06:30] that were recently installed. [06:30] shadowh511: gimme a sec...ill try [06:30] SpamInaCan: it gives you the option of where to find the firmware, in your situation you would point it to wherever the firmware is saved [06:31] if i install linux i will loose internet and without a hardline i am stuck and forced to go back to windows.... [06:31] oh, thats the method i use [06:31] mytruehero : It's not even necessary for someone to have actually SENT spam from your server...just the possibility is enough to get blacklisted on some of these sites. [06:31] shadowh511: i.e., apt-get install --reinstall [06:31] i am using dd to copy multiple files example test1.txt, test2.text .......test40.txt. shouldnt i be able to use a wild card where the number is [06:31] SpamInaCan: Hmm...I'm quite sure they both do. Without a doubt libc does, debconf I believe so. Worst comes to worst you boot back into Windows, download the deb off packages.ubuntu.org, and isntall it that way. [06:31] wait, spaminacan, gusty has wi-fi drivers for most wi-fi cards pre-installed [06:31] hello all [06:31] wweasel i am going to wipe EVERYTHING [06:31] so windows will be gone....

[06:32] flatline-kun: Hmm. Nothing showed up in the logs. I can't think of any way that it could be exploited, either (not to say that there isn't one). [06:32] some here who knows how to use ntop? [06:32] n what? [06:32] !ntop [06:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about ntop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:32] gradin: Sorry, I just thought there might be a simple solution that a #samba dweller could point out to me, as this topic is a bit specialized...

[06:35] GOOD!, use it [06:35] then dl the file to it and install from there? [06:35] boselecta: Using feisty? [06:35] Good evening to all! (At least, it's evening here...) Does anyone have the slightest lead for me to follow regarding an inability to see any network shares unless I'm root? I'm sure someone's had this happen before :) Thanks! [06:35] gutsy i think [06:35] where do i get the firmware file for the bcm43xx? [06:35] why the frak is everyone using feisty? [06:35] does anyone know how to get bluetooth headphones working in gutsy???????? i can't get it working for the life of me! [06:35] the one on my system didn't work last time.... [06:36] boselecta: Seems to be a printer problem. Remove any printers they has installed. and see if you stll get the error. [06:36] try booting from a livecd [06:36] shadowh511: same reason that nobody uses vista and they use XP.. things get better as they age [06:36] flatline-kun: physically remove? or uninstall? [06:36] i dont use vista cuz it takes 10 min to SHUT DOWN [06:36] SpamInaCan, > http://langerland.de/linux/bcm43xx/firmware.html [06:36] should i use feisty???, or gutsy? [06:36] hmm - should i be using feisty? i'm a noob who downloaded gutsy [06:36] flatline-kun: i've already unplugged the printer, no effect. [06:37] reboot then [06:37] anyone know how to find the directory for my logitech usb controller for snes9express [06:37] boselecta: uninstall the driver. The OS is still looking for it and it's not there.

[06:38] boselecta: system > administration > printing [06:38] some here who knows how to use ntop? [06:38] i have no clue what bcm43xx card i have (how can i tell from windows) [06:38] flatline-kun: i deleted the Laserjet-1100 printer [06:38] boseleca: remove everything except the Print-to-PDF [06:38] is there a command for interrogating the current video mode settings? [06:38] SpamInaCan: try looking under Device Manager [06:38] omg, i just noticed that my physical wifi switch was off, but i was able to connect to my wi-fi LOL [06:38] uzerzero: I've had terrible experiences with trying to use ndiswrapper (never got it to work) and great experiences with the open source drivers .. I guess it depends on the card. [06:38] start/programs/accessorys/systemtools/sysinfo [06:39] boseleca: Was there a zip drive installed perchance? [06:39] some here who knows how to use ntop? [06:39] try #ntop [06:39] no never [06:39] zcat[1]: my only complaint with ndiswrapper is that whenever i am doing large data transfers, it will sometimes cause my entire computer to lock up. i am experimenting with gutsy to see if i can get the native drivers working, but still no luck. [06:39] then report a bug on launchpad [06:40] SpamInaCan: seriously, if you do not have some other reliable way of downloading and transferring files, I would dual-boot.. even if you only leave windows with a tiny amount of space.. [06:40] flatline-kun: however the last "localhost last message repeated 2 times" message i was expecting related to the parallel port did not appear [06:40] flatline-kun: i don't know if that cures my performance issue or not... [06:40] the system still doesn't want to use the swap. [06:40] uzerzero: try this perhaps? http://ubuntu.cafuego.net/ [06:40] zcat[1] windows is using 76gb out of 80gb i am wiping because i don't wanna sort through everything i just want it to be gone (lol) [06:41] boseleca: Only way to find out is to let the system run and see if performance improves. [06:41] boseleca: You won't use swap unless you need it. [06:41] 76 GB, What do you have installed? [06:41] flatline-kun: i'll try starting firefox and see what happens... thanks [06:41] boseleca: Swap is used when RAM gets full. [06:41] SpamInaCan: oh dear..... well, I can't guarantee that you will get the bcm card working first time. I can almost guarantee you won't.. [06:41] shadowh511 mostly c**p lol that i will never use again.... [06:42] its ok, my vista laptop came with 1/2 the drive eaten [06:42] zcat[1]: thanks, i will try those out when i'm done copying these discs [06:42] damn toshiba [06:42] SpamInaCan: why not try to install the bcm43xx drivers via the livecd and see if they work? [06:42] ow [06:42] SpamInaCan: another option, get a well suppoprted usb or pc-card that you can use to sort out the bcm drivers.. [06:42] flatline-kun: there's only about 512M installed on this machine i think, so i sort of expected the swap to be used. [06:43] Can anyone point out to good guide as to howto setup personal lan on ubuntu server? [06:43] uzerzero i only have 512mb of ram how can i install something on a live cd neways? [06:43] * Task1 Hopes this works === Task1 is now known as Task [06:43] boseleca: Not necessarily. I think my average RAM usage is around 300M and that's running Xchat, Firefox, Pidgin, etc...

[06:44] pm me on another computer and i will help you [06:44] hardy is NEW [06:44] hoary is really old, hardy is really new [06:44] !hardy > shadowh511 [06:44] !hoary [06:44] Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) was the second release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 31, 2006. See !eol for more details. [06:44] !hardy [06:44] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [06:45] how long does ubuntu take to download for people [06:45] SpamInaCan: in that case, i would download a few different versions of the firmware and put them on your external and then try each of them out. google bcm43xx firmware [06:45] uh, no such channel [06:45] SpamInaCan: faster than my dog could do it [06:45] let it download overnight [06:45] boseleca: You should check out the System Monitor ( System > Administration > System Monitor ) The Resources tab will give you CPU and memory info. [06:45] ta-dum [06:45] SpamInaCan: takes me about 5 minutes down at the colo .. a few hours at home [06:45] SpamInaCan: depends on your internet connection. i can typically download the iso in around 10 minutes on my connection. [06:45] 4 me its a few hours, but it depends on your connection [06:46] I setup the present computer on eth1 as static ip 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 in /etc/hosts, then configured ip on the other machine as 192.168.0.2 static, bith are connected using 10/100 mbps 8 port ethernet switch [06:46] my net is slow for some reason :-\, it wants 4hours for the source system..., normally i download at 1mps (1024KB/sec) but i am getting 30KB/s :-\ [06:46] if its FIOS, its gonna be 30 seconds [06:46] but i am unable to ping either of machines to another one [06:46] i have a 10mps connection ^_^ [06:46] start it before you go to bed [06:46] SpamInaCan, if you can, try the torrents they can be quite fast [06:46] is there another mirror for this?, this source is 2 slow (lol) [06:46] it'll be done in the morning [06:47] the server is always slow, sorry [06:47] SpamInaCan: try one of the other mirrors. there are several listed on the ubuntu website. I find the Gatech library to be quite fast. [06:47] a torrent might be faster? [06:47] * nickrud is amazed at suggestions of hardy for new people at this stage [06:47] flatline-kun: i was able to make it use swap by opening gimp and about 40 firefox windows. [06:47] oh.. I see someone suggested that alrady :) [06:48] not enough peers for 8.04 lol [06:48] nickrud: i work on hardy [06:48] boseleca: You should check out the System Monitor ( System > Administration > System Monitor ) The Resources tab will give you live CPU and memory info. [06:48] on bt [06:48] nickrud: i find bugs [06:48] open a gigapixel image in GIMP, that should make it use some swap [06:48] shadowh511, oh, then you got the support ticket :) [06:48] praveer_fedora : do you have the router set up as the gateway? [06:48] .. or probably kill it. [06:48] im not employed, but i find about 30+ bugs a day [06:49] to ubuntu that is [06:49] flatline-kun, I do not have a router, i want to use ubuntu server as router, i have two nics [06:49] zfdkjhsdkjfhjhfdskjhfuewihfkuwhfkwehrfweiu I hate ATI!!!! [06:49] Anyone know how to fix a built-in sd card reader for a laptop: not recognizing any card and dmesg shoes nothing but card is inserted [06:49] This is what 40 firefox windows gets you, ad nauseam : A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script? [06:49] could it be Compiz messin it up? [06:49] praveer_fedora: install firestarter, makes setting that stuff up really easy [06:49] is ubuntu.com down? [06:50] zcat[1], infact i installed firestarter, but lan isnt working [06:50] can someone help me? i'm running my laptop at 1280x800 res, and when i open some apps, the bottom part is below screen and i can't move it up to click Okay. how do i get around that? [06:50] hi. I would like ubuntu to load some basic apps on startup. is there a package/config file where I can do this? [06:50] flatline-kun, both systems are connected via switch [06:50] SpamInaCan: seems fine to me [06:50] From Ubuntu, can only view network computers as root... Any ideas anyone? Going on day 2.5 :( [06:50] xentho->System->Pref->Sessions [06:50] i cant get on ubuntu..., everything else it working fine for me... [06:50] praveer_fedora: you probably need to add a rule allowing your lan IP range to connect.. [06:50] xenthro: just add the commands to Sessions ( System -> Preferences -> Sessions) [06:51] thanks all [06:51] what is filesystem type fuseblk? [06:51] praveer_fedora : ahhh...sorry...misread your question. I may be wrong, but you may have to install a DNS server on the system. [06:51] SpamInAcan: i can get on ubuntu.com fine [06:51] !fuse | boselecta [06:51] zcat[1], but basically my lan itself isnt working, i am unable to ping 192.168.0.2 from 192.168.0.1 [06:51] boselecta: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [06:51] thx nickrud [06:51] donogameel: right-click on the program's bar on the taskbar (or dock icon if applicable) and choose "Resize" and drag upwards then press both mouse buttons, happens to me all the time [06:51] or you could maximize it [06:51] :-\, one last question how can i encrypt my entire file system in blowfish using the asc method and be forced to enter a pass phrase each boot? [06:52] uh... [06:52] hi [06:52] i'm going to try to reboot and see if it takes less than 15 minutes this time with the printer uninstalled... brb [06:52] idk sry [06:52] hopefully. [06:52] praveer_fedora : http://ubuntulinuxhowto.blogspot.com/2006/06/setup-your-computer-to-be-router.html [06:52] praveer_fedora: you do have the network cards the right way around?

[06:53] shadowh511: i can't do that because this is a Preferences box in Evolution - it won't resize [06:53] zcat[1], eth1 is configured 192.168.0.1 [06:53] i don't know how to do that but you should try OSX or PGP disk privacy [06:53] SpamInaCan: you can use root filesystem encryption on linux [06:54] SpamInaCan: I use it for my laptop [06:54] praveer_fedora : Here's the official docs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router [06:54] or you could setup a boot password in GRUB [06:54] donogameel, reduce the font size. I've used evolution and never had that happen with a reasonable font size [06:54] SpamInaCan: when you first partition the drive, one of the options is for an encrypted filesystem. Then it asks for a passphrase. Don't forget the passphrase, or no agency on earth will be able to recover your files for you... [06:54] flatline-kun, ty will try [06:54] SuperQ: how do you that? [06:54] not even the nsa? [06:54] Hi i have a quation about ubuntu and firefox not working right [06:54] not even the nsa [06:54] not even, as long as your passphrase is reasonably random and long enough [06:55] steven_: sure, what is it? [06:55] nickrud: thanks... font size was the problem [06:55] Hello :) I have a question that might be outside of the scope of this room, but...if I run XP in a virtualised setting, do I need to get it a firewall? [06:55] but when i selected that option a long time ago (when 7.10 was in beta i was testing linux for use...) it didn't ask me for the password so i was locked out :( [06:55] yes i just got ubunt the newst version and firefox cant not play flash? [06:55] just use windows firewall [06:55] i have a 64bit Athlon...should i get 64 bit or 32 bit ubuntu? [06:55] SpamInaCan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto [06:55] anybody know why ies4linux might be giving me segmentation faults ? am i missing certain packages or something? i have cabextract & wine installed [06:55] steven_:you have to go into [06:56] SpamInaCan: Odd... but I nstalled my laptop that way and there were no problems at all, so it seems to ork now! [06:56] donogameel, np [06:56] ifireball, got the IPs post? [06:56] SpamInaCan: it looks like you can do it on install with 7.10 (Gutsy) alternate CD [06:56] !bittorrent [06:56] Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P [06:56] ifireball, I did the ping with both computers to addons.mozilla.org [06:56] add/remove programs and choose it (be sure to change the software source) [06:56] Anyone know how to fix a built-in sd card reader for a laptop: not recognizing any card and dmesg shoes nothing but card is inserted [06:56] ifireball, and they ping at the same IP [06:56] Oh yeah... I used alternati.. the GUI installer might not have the option! [06:56] should i get 64 bit or 32 bit ubuntu? [06:57] biff420: yes. [06:57] go in to what? [06:57] !brokenflash | steven_ [06:57] steven_: 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. [06:57] biff420:it depends on your computer, but i would choose 32-bit just to be safe [06:57] sorry, logical or.. you should get one of those! [06:57] zcat[1]: which one? [06:57] shadowh511: i have a 64bit proc [06:58] my dad has an ubuntu system (witch is how i found out about ubuntu...) i was wondering can i tunnel a wifi connection to the eithernet port and plug my laptop into the desktop and get internet from the desktop on the laptop? [06:58] then get 64-bit linux to take full advantage of your computer [06:58] I'd normally suggest 32, there doesn't seem to be a lot of advantage in 64 bit and there are some hassles with installing nonfree stuff which is normally only compiled for 32 bit [06:58] spaninacan: use XP [06:58] ok so thsn i have to wait for the fix to come out right ? [06:58] linux is on that system... [06:58] anyone have any experiences syncing songs ratings from ipod to computer? is it possible? [06:58] well only linux i should say [06:59] steven_, either that or use the fix on that page that factoid points to [06:59] anyone seen a problem with Azuerus where it'll open then immediately close? but ubuntu detects no crash? [06:59] amarok [06:59] SpamInaCan: yes you can... install firestarter and you get a 'sare this cinnection' option just like 'doze has [06:59] its in java then [06:59] *share [06:59] the fix has ben remevoed [06:59] amarok will copy ratings from ipod to computer? [06:59] The fix for this bug has been removed from the proposed repository [06:59] steven_, oh. [06:59] yeah [06:59] lol [06:59] crap, try using alien to convert the package from adobe's website [06:59] steven_, : there is still a link to the deb file u can use [07:00] ok.... i'm almost fully migrated to ubuntu... from a very long and abusive relationships with Windows.. [07:00] shadowh511: medibuntu has adobe packages [07:00] i do vnc help [07:00] i tried share this connection option and it does not work :( [07:00] but there's one thing i need to figure out on linux... Full Tilt Poker [07:00] Anybody know a query command that can provide information about the video modes currently in use? Or a log file that would tell me?

[07:02] SuperQ: what kind of hard drive space does it require to install? [07:02] wine requires a lot of patience.. getting anything more complex that minesweeper to run can be a major hassle [07:02] SuperQ: thanks - I'm reading :) [07:02] then you need to go to whatsmyip.com and tell me it so i can connect [07:03] bqmassey: about 100MB [07:03] ok how do we do this? [07:03] yhe vnc [07:03] so what is full tilt poker? [07:03] how do i install it ? apt-get install wine ? [07:03] bqmassey: that's it [07:03] shadowh511, is that safe?

[07:06] what port does vnc run over? [07:06] i have a firewall out front [07:06] and a router [07:06] aaargh-: qdvdauthor [07:06] bqmassey: if wine itself doesn't work, you can try cedega [07:06] arooni_: 5900 by default [07:06] qdvdauthor... hmmm [07:07] SuperQ: never heard of that.. commencing google [07:07] aaargh-: or devede is really easy, but tends to screw up the soundtrack fairly often. [07:07] flatline-kun: [07:07] er - i'm talking iso data discs... [07:07] doesn't ubuntu come with iso burning software? [07:07] boseleca: yea? [07:07] aaargh-: right-click on ISO, select 'burn to disk' from the menu [07:07] aaargh- yes [07:07] hello, I have a dell m1530, I successfully installed ubuntu and updated to the latest nvidia drivers, the card is a 8600m GT with 256 Megs... when I boot, I do not see the splash, instead all I see is a black screen until GDM loads and I can login. Any ideas? [07:08] nerolinux is really good [07:08] steven_: hold on, my vnc client is hosed, anyone know of a good vnc client? [07:08] hey, that works... wow, i feel like a n00b [07:08] aaargh-: or if you must have a 'program' to burn disks, install q3b, it's about the nicest one [07:08] flatline-kun: weird---i re-installed the printer, rebooted, and it worked fine. then i rebooted with the printer in the state that was causing performance issues (plugged to the machine but not the wall) and still no problems. no complaints in /var/log/messages either [07:08] ok [07:08] i don't get it. [07:08] happens to us all aaargh- [07:08] anyone know how to get rid of the Sticky Window effect? [07:08] it's annoying [07:09] lol - i'm not sure i'm a huge fan of ubuntu... it still has that "i'm an os with a gui that's still in development"... look. [07:09] boseleca: Maybe it just didn't install properly in the first place. It happens. [07:09] aaargh-: Cool huh. And if you just insert a blank disk it asks if you want to make a data disk or music.. [07:09] i know it's possibly down to something like the fonts, but ... i dunno... [07:09] yeah, it did ask me, and i clicked data disc, but ... it then wanted me to add files :) [07:09] it's not a fresh install... it's something that crept up between updates. [07:09] anyway. [07:09] (couldn't find a "write disc from iso" menu option :D) === SpamInaCan is now known as SpamInTheCan [07:10] aaargh- try Brasero [07:10] at least my swap is back and the system doesn't rely on the printer anymore. [07:10] Brasero? is that a dist, a font, or a cd burning program? :) [07:10] aaargh: all of the above! [07:10] aaargh- : I think it's installed by default. (it's a CD burning program that will do iso's) [07:10] lol - serious? [07:11] aaargh-: cd burning program. Not installed by default afaik [07:11] aaargh-: no it's just a burning program [07:11] aaargh-, any ttf font can be used in ubuntu, customize the look. [07:11] the "right-click" write disc worked fine - burning now [07:11] perhaps not a dist. [07:11] oh, i'm sure i can change the look but ... ignore me, i'm being picky :) === SpamInTheCan is now known as SpamInaCan [07:11] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3W_Gw6Fl7Ns [07:12] (i'm not sure if it IS the font that makes me feel like the GUI is klunky, but it's something... it just "feels" wrong, and i don't know what i need to do to feel more at home.) [07:12] flatline-kun, I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router as it is, but still i am unable to ping from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.2 [07:12] So nobody here has had problems with the boot splash not working and just showing a black screen until GDM loads? [07:12] the default look in ubuntu is not too exciting.... but turn on all the desktop affects, gdesklets, a few decents wallpapers, and it looks pretty awesome [07:12] praveer_fedora : Are you using a crossover cable? [07:12] omg.. I am thinking about going with onboard Graphics :( [07:12] i can't get ubuntu or kubuntu to boot [07:13] Say It aint so [07:13] zcat[1]: hmm... i like my OSes to have "blue"ish looks... i don't like the orange so much, so maybe i'll try that :) [07:13] aslan: have you upgraded recently? I know bootsplash was blanking out after upgrades from Edgy to Feisty. [07:13] aslan, I do. sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst , look for the lines near the end with splash in them, remove that word. You don't get the pretty splash, but at least you know it's booting [07:13] aaargh-: 'bluebuntu' might be for you then :) [07:13] <_mug> good morning [07:13] lol - there's a dist called bluebuntu? or is that an ubuntu theme? [07:13] flatline-kun, straight through cable [07:13] can someone suggest a good media player/codec pack? [07:14] blubuntu is a theme [07:14] it was a theme.. hang on and I'll see if I can find the package [07:14] if i try using an ubuntu live cd, i get kernal panics, or hung up at a blank black screen with a blinking _. If i try kubuntu, it doesn't get past a blue blackground witha mouse, but no taskbars load or anything further. Anyideas? [07:14] jeezers: 32wcodecs [07:14] flatline-kun: ya I run gutsy [07:14] join #edmonton-lug if your edmonton, alberta linux user :) === Arthur is now known as BehiiMehii [07:14] nickrud: ya I know, but I wanna find out why it's not showing the splash [07:14] sudo apt-get install blubuntu-look [07:14] then you need to use an alternate install cd [07:14] this is an nvidia card and should work fine [07:14] zcat[1]: what's that? [07:14] i'm gonna try that now ... [07:15] praveer_fedora : what does your /etc/networks/interfaces file look like (pastebin it or something) [07:15] shadowh511: me? [07:15] shadowh511: nah it's after I install. [07:15] zcat[1]: ah nvm [07:15] aslan: gdm and gnome theme for ubuntu [07:15] yes, you [07:15] aslan, framebuffer issues. I didn't care, personally I like seeing whats going on and the moving orange bar has bad memories [07:15] Anyone know how to fix a built-in sd card reader for a laptop: not recognizing any card and dmesg shoes nothing but card is inserted....anyone?

[07:22] flatline-kun, no i didnt, i thought bridge was for connecting the other computer to internet, i thought of setting up bridge after i got this lan working [07:22] jeezers, just add the medibuntu repository and then install w32codecs [07:22] i just switched to ubuntu from xp - used to using winscp [07:22] filezilla? [07:22] ftp, sftp, scp, etc... [07:22] mattholimea1, just enter ssh://username@server in nautilus [07:22] mattholimea1, just use the places > connect to server...

Also, you can go to Places->Connect to server, and access it like a file folder [07:24] I just pulled out my Video Card :( [07:24] thanks all [07:24] @steven - what version of Ubuntu are you using? [07:24] SuperQ: Do you know much about specifying video modes in xorg.conf? I've got xorg.conf set up for a dual head system but can't get the second monitor to work. When I press Fn-F8 (on my laptop) to enable it, it says that it is not set to the optimum mode. So my present theory is that I might be able to brute force the mode that it likes. [07:25] lspci gives me this: Toshiba America Info Systems SD TypA Controller (rev 03) but the card reader does not work. Can I get some help?

[07:29] If you WINE an installer, will the installer put stuff all over your system or does wine stick it all in 1 folder? [07:30] no it wil make a new folder and stick it in there [07:30] whats the command to reconfigure your video... through the setup? [07:30] flatline-kun, the switch isnt blinking when i ping 192.168.0.2 from 192.168.0.1 [07:30] Flynsarmy: it puts it in /home/user/.wine/drive_c/ [07:30] @flynsarmy - When wine is installed and setup, it usually creates a .wine folder in home, and under that creates a drive_c to install stuff to [07:30] Flynsarmy: contains a virtual windows C drive there [07:31] who starts up dhclient during system boot? It's not in any startup scripts. [07:31] SuperQ, loudnlownoma: gotcha, thanks [07:31] np :) [07:31] praveer_fedora : I think the problem lies in your actual routing setup.

I followed this guide, http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/index.html - this is the page where i'm seeing my error, http://arnescnp.com/squirrelmail/src/redirect.php - and this is my /etc/postfix/main.cf where i assume things are breaking for me, http://pastebin.ca/838268 [07:32] the newest one [07:33] 7.10 [07:34] @steven_ - Gutsy (7.10)? If so, it is actually already included. Easiest way to setup is to look in synaptic for compizconfig-settings-manager [07:34] how to display a partition's UUID ? [07:34] @steven_ - Once that's installed, you can find it under System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [07:34] Anyone know how to fix a built-in sd card reader for a laptop: not recognizing any card and dmesg shoes nothing but card is inserted....anyone? [07:34] dORSY: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [07:35] ok let me try [07:35] @steven_ - That will give you a nice and easy control panel to configure all the effects and settings and such [07:35] praveer_fedora : You need to set up DNS....this part was suspiciously absent from the tutorial I sent you to. lemme see what I can find.

The only thing I can think of is either your firewall is stopping you, or the swtich is. If you had a crossover cable I would tell you to connect the 2 pc's directly. [07:40] flatline-kun, i will remive firestarter and try again [07:40] remove* [07:40] @steven_ - That I haven't had much of a chance to mess with yet for the full themes.

Sorry I missed your last problem. But it's been a while since I tried full tilt - will have to install my copy too! :) [07:44] bqmassey: just minimize the window I guess [07:44] hey [07:45] @bqmassey - you should be able to minimize the window, or you can use the icon that should show up in Wine's menu under Applications to run it without the terminal window [07:45] can someone send me unmodified /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules ? [07:46] or actually I need just the USB line [07:46] please :) [07:46] # USB devices (usbfs replacement) [07:46] SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", MODE="0664" [07:46] that?

[07:49] BehiiMehii: Yea...do is as root. [07:49] BehiiMehii: you probably want to right-click unmount [07:49] It's an empty folder [07:49] bqmassey: sweet! will try it out tomorrow probly. thanks!

I am running dual-head with an ATI Radeon Mobility X1400. I got everything working great with the new proprietary drivers off of the ATI site. However, it detects the CRT as Screen #1 and the laptop LCD as #2. How can I switch these? [07:52] ghatak: "keep aligned" [07:52] steven_: Oh the fun! :p Which driver are you running? [07:52] reboot [07:52] hy [07:52] dam lol ok how do i find that out [07:52] lightrush: Must just be me. I seem to get lucky with some of these things... :) [07:52] some body could tell me how i can install cedega [07:53] i cant [07:53] please [07:53] steven_: Have you installed any new drivers for the video card, or activated the restricted drivers?

[08:54] ive tried many times with diff brand new disks [08:54] Detedagowa|WoW: Could be a bunch of things... Is it a copy you downloaded or copied from another CD? === capgadget_2 is now known as capgadget [08:54] im using ative ISO burner [08:54] Detedagowa|WoW: make sure you burn it as a disk image, and also check the checksum of the disk before you burn it [08:55] Does anyone know what browser PS3 uses?

[08:57] sorry, does anybody know how you set the postgreSQL main password (it doesn't ask me one when I install it) [08:57] AJ--: Sorry, never used Yahoo chats. All I can suggest is that maybe you're not authenticated correctly, so you can only read the chats and not write to them... [08:57] howto restart network manager [08:57] netlarlinu, just do sudo apt-get install apache2 php5, that should normally do it for as far as I know [08:57] <_mug> ICQnumber: /etc/init.d/network restart [08:57] basically I need help with mounting my flash dive.

I want to sanitize/erase/shred it. whatever you call it [09:04] the login screen still stays alive [09:04] you can zero it out [09:05] how do you do that? [09:05] however, that will zero out everything on your hard drive [09:05] Karyom: nope. Gdesklets for instance will. Superkaramba will be very buggy in gnome.

[09:06] does anyone know when aptitude stopped being able to install flashplayer [09:06] do you know were the super bution is ? [09:06] had to do it manually; just curious [09:07] steven_: From what I have seen, that generally means the Start button === animimotus is now known as zanimimotus [09:07] cabrioleur, what? stops when space is out where? [09:07] Kimura: Also see man apropos [09:07] omg [09:07] hi [09:07] This thing keeps loading [09:07] steven_: Not sure if it's supposed to be, but that seems to work for me [09:07] Hirvinen: isn't shred for single files? not free disk space?

[09:10] so i rebooted and can still mount the drive except it sees none of the free space [09:11] later on, you can set it as your default kernel [09:11] cadorrett i am trying to update m,y ubuntu atm [09:11] or compile a new one [09:11] distro upgrade?

Welcome! [09:13] is it in auto updater? [09:13] or manual [09:13] I found a driver I jsut can't seem to get my modem configured [09:13] I think his problem is it wont let him upgrade at all [09:13] I'm trying to store an image of my system using partimage but when it begins to back up, it says that it ran out of space, and I followed the instructions according to the psychocat web page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage, what could i be doing wrong?

Only experience I have is with using my cell phone as a modem, and that mostly just copying config files and putting them in the right place [09:14] brb [09:15] task, if that command doesn't work, try sudo aptitude upgrade [09:15] and sudo aptitude update [09:15] kk [09:15] I'm back!!!

Can I partition a 4GB sd card into 2 2gb partitions? [09:16] ive partitioned yes [09:16] okay [09:16] I have used the GParted liveCD to prepare a linux parition for Ubuntu, but upon starting the installer from the liveCD, the only choices are Use Entire Disk, Shrink the NTFS partition on sdb, and Manual. Upon choosing manual, my linux partition(s) are not visible, and the only option is to create a new partition table. Is there a workaround for this? (using the 7.10 live CD. Also, the partitions are visible in /proc/partitions) [09:16] i am running qbittorrent and firefox on 7.10, when i have qBittorrent open, I can not browse the internet via firefox. any ideas? [09:16] assuming your partition on the second drive is setup as the first partition [09:17] ok did it [09:17] type mkdir /media/disk-2 [09:17] Guys, whats a good vnc program i can use that people can connect from windows PC's with [09:17] task, did it work [09:17] Anyone familiar with problems with GRUB? Mine seems to load slowly only on this machine, with a dual-boot on separate hard drives. [09:17] then type mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk-2 [09:17] yeAH [09:17] unless its already mounted [09:17] it is hdd1 bhy me [09:17] Hey all [09:17] alright then use hdd1 [09:17] ive mounted it, and partitioned [09:17] Can anybody help me real fast? [09:17] then it should be in the media folder [09:17] ls /media [09:17] ok, type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [09:18] cd /media/whatever its mounted under [09:18] jesse: Please just ask your question. [09:18] cd media/disk1 ? [09:18] it should give you a file with all available kernels near the bottom [09:18] :) [09:18] that should do it it was mounted like that [09:18] did that work? [09:18] tell me if you see kernel 16 down there; if you do, you are golden [09:18] I did [09:18] @Jesse KPF [09:18] hey [09:18] Whats a good VNC program to use?

[09:19] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [09:19] if i have a picture and want to use it as an icon how do i save it in gimp and put it into the correct folder to be able to chose from? [09:19] jesse, I use tightVNC, but others may have a better preference [09:19] over KPF you can Access over Web Browser, [09:19] Hey everyone, I'm trying to store an image of my system using partimage but when it begins to back up, it says that it ran out of space, and I followed the instructions according to the psychocat web page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage, what could i be doing wrong?

[09:21] try that Detedagowa [09:21] !grub slow [09:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about grub slow - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:21] Cnerd [09:21] says /user/local/bin/vncserver [09:21] er [09:21] i did and didnt work ill paste what it tell me though [09:21] usr [09:21] Type sudo chmod +777 /media/disc1 [09:21] yes cadorett [09:21] i am running qbittorrent and firefox on 7.10, when i have qBittorrent open, I can not browse the internet via firefox. any ideas? [09:21] that will give everyone all permissions [09:21] :) [09:22] Reading package lists... Done [09:22] Building dependency tree... Done [09:22] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [09:22] if i have a picture and want to use it as an icon how do i save it in gimp and put it into the correct folder to be able to chose from [09:22] jesse, that means you have it installed, you can see how to start it up with `man vncserver` but generally you might just be able to start it up with default options with just `vncserver` [09:22] ahimaj its a brand new install.... nothing done to it besides the regular updates from the manager [09:22] Detedagowa sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:22] invalid mode +777 [09:22] maybe [09:22] Can I partition a 4GB sd card into 2 2gb partitions? Can I use fdisk? [09:22] ill try [09:22] I'm really lost :S [09:22] same as just putting upgrade [09:22] ok [09:22] 777 must i be [09:23] 777 is readwrite for owner group everyone [09:23] try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [09:23] I'm trying to store an image of my system using partimage but when it begins to back up, it says that it ran out of space, and I followed the instructions according to the psychocat web page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage, what could i be doing wrong? [09:23] i just had him try that [09:23] i just did ahimaj [09:23] geeze, and it didn't work [09:23] jesse, I actually do something like `vncserver -geometry 1270x700`. I have set up the appropriate .conf file to have vncserver start fluxbox as a window manager for me. [09:23] Cnerd hrm [09:23] that doesn't sound right--but I've heard stranger things [09:23] oh it added somthing this time though [09:24] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade right after building dependancy thing [09:24] ok [09:24] oops [09:24] did [09:24] gotta repaste it [09:24] Calculating upgrade... Done [09:24] well task, you can just compile a kernel manually--you will be miserable for about 2 hours or so, but will learn a ton [09:24] it didnt works, i cant create documents or folders in file browser [09:24] did the invalid mode go away? [09:25] oh [09:25] lol [09:25] yes 777, not +777 :/ [09:25] whats the difference? [09:25] yes [09:25] okay hrm [09:25] I mean... how will it benefit me? [09:25] About my installer partition problem (above): would the alternate install CD provide the needed functionality in this case? [09:25] Cnerd in terminal try sudo nautilus [09:25] then browse to your /media folder and right click on disk1 [09:25] !gksudo | cadorett [09:25] cadorett: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [09:25] set the permissions that way [09:25] in update manager it says my system is up to date i check for files it shows 3 but doesnt get them correctly [09:25] goofeedude, i ran man vncserver but it just displays in terminal.. not sure what to edit. [09:25] Cnerd: Use gksudo nautilus [09:25] meh [09:26] either way works [09:26] ahimaj... how will it benefit me? [09:26] hello everybody [09:26] cador can i pm you? [09:26] !Hardy Heron [09:26] cadorett: Yes, but one way is good and the other can cause problems [09:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about hardy heron - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:26] hi [09:26] hey everyone hows everybody doing? great! ok I have a question: I'm trying to store an image of my system using partimage but when it begins to back up, it says that it ran out of space, and I followed the instructions according to the psychocat web page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/partimage, what could i be doing wrong? [09:26] well, you'll learn more about unix kernels [09:26] jesse, I had just suggested to look at the vncserver man page to read and get an understanding of what configuration files to edit, so you would know how to set up vncserver the way you want it. [09:26] you'll be able to configure it to maximize what your os gets out of your specs [09:26] Detedagowa yes [09:27] jesse: but basically, just try typing `vncserver` and see what happens :-) [09:27] you're running gutsy, correct? [09:27] do you see the pm? [09:27] goofeedude, vncpasswd: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [09:28] no [09:28] idk how to pm with Gaim then [09:28] let me try and figure out why that is happening [09:28] what did you say your problem was again? [09:28] ok [09:28] i believe its on my end [09:28] if i have a picture and want to use it as an icon how do i save it in gimp and put it into the correct folder to be able to chose from? [09:28] jesse, oh dear. Did you use apt-get to install tightvnc? [09:28] !router [09:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about router - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:28] goofeedude, i used the intall manager. [09:29] You have aim i take it? [09:29] Evidently, the book "Memoirs of an invisible man" is about me.... [09:29] * umop-apisdn gets snubbed by ubotu [09:29] fine, silly bot [09:29] Gaim yes [09:29] install* [09:29] Cuz I'm frickin INVISIBLE! [09:29] let me grab a cigarette brb [09:29] wow, lag spike [09:29] :D:D thnx [09:29] I just need to disable the dang X so I can install a driver [09:29] Cnerd did that work? [09:29] X? [09:29] yes [09:29] I assume it did from your :D [09:29] what is that [09:30] yhnx cadorett [09:30] no problem [09:30] The GUI [09:30] The X system [09:30] which brings me to the routing bit. anyone have a moment to point me at a good place to configure my new ubuntu server 7.10 server as a router? [09:30] The interface [09:30] :p [09:30] finally fixed my issue [09:30] Task: Task just hold ctl+alt and hit F2 [09:30] just in case anyone here has free space issues on ext3 partition [09:30] now peogramming for linux :) [09:30] then when you get there login [09:30] and run [09:30] what is the gui doing? [09:30] deleting and recreating the journal works real well [09:30] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [09:31] are you trying to install a graphics driver? [09:31] I believe that should fix the issue [09:31] im back [09:31] um i need help [09:31] Detedagowa [09:31] !ping [09:31] pong [09:31] ?? [09:31] Fine, I'll figure it out myself! *SHEEESH* [09:31] jesse: sorry I'm actually out of my expertise at this point. I thought perhaps the proper dependencies might not be installed (because it looks as is vncserver cannot find the c library it needs.) Perhaps you could check if lisbstdc++=libc6.2.2.so.3 is installed (looking for it in the package manger...) Other than that, I'm all out of suggestions [09:32] I need to install display drivers [09:32] the driver says the system X has to be not running [09:32] Aztec007: out of curiosity, are you backing up your partition to the same drive you're backing up? [09:32] goofeedude, this is a fresh install of gutsy. [09:32] so I try to close it but it wont close [09:32] oh [09:32] it will load back up to the login part [09:32] you can boot into recovery [09:32] if i have a picture and want to use it as an icon how do i save it in gimp and put it into the correct folder to be able to chose from? [09:32] or into grub [09:32] umop-apisdn: no actually I have an external HD [09:32] and ask for a command prompt [09:32] gui won't be loaded then [09:33] and you can just do everything manually [09:33] how do I ask for command prompt using grub? [09:33] Aztec007: can you check the free disk space on the target drive? [09:33] just type in sudo boot [09:33] it will restart [09:33] kk [09:33] press esc when you see grub menu flash [09:33] then just read the options [09:33] umop-apisdn: by target drive you mean the drive that I'm saving my back up to right? [09:34] you can type in c [09:34] to get a command prompt [09:34] umop-apisdn: or is it the drive that I'm backing up [09:34] ? [09:34] Aztec007: yes... actually, i should have said "destination", to be technically accurate. thanks for seeing through my 3:30am typo ;) [09:34] ummm sudo boot doesnt work [09:34] jesse, I really am out of my area of expertise at this point :-) I haven't gotten Ubuntu installed yet due to an installer issue. I use tightVNC on my Slackware box. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable may help you! [09:34] Yeah I am there right now [09:34] Aztec007: the drive you are backing up to is the one i'm interested in [09:35] i am trying to start pidgin but it does not pop up...it is running (can see it in the processes) but there is no window [09:35] i cant beleive i just did that [09:35] hello! I'm back today with another question: [09:35] any ideas [09:35] How can I decompress an NTFS pendrive from linux? [09:35] umop-apisdn: yes, it's got plenty of space 100GBs to be exact [09:35] sudo reboot [09:35] Detedagowa: Did what? [09:35] ran that gui shutoff code [09:35] lol [09:35] went to command line [09:35] umop-apisdn: I should tell you that it happens to be a Windows formatted partition though [09:35] negative [09:35] aha [09:35] How do I play .SWF files? [09:36] cadorr u still here? [09:36] umop-apisdn: aha??? [09:36] that may be the issue, right there. NTFS, i assume? [09:36] biff420: do you get the icon near the clock? [09:36] yes [09:36] Detedagowa: lol [09:36] ok [09:36] Detedagowa i am still here [09:36] I have to tell that the system doesn't even mount the pendrive [09:36] sudo shutdown -r now [09:36] um [09:36] that should udo it [09:36] !flash | BehiiMehii [09:36] umop-apisdn: yes, yes YES *grr [09:36] did you get my screenname in notice? [09:36] BehiiMehii: 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 [09:36] 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. [09:36] screename for what? [09:36] Has anybody else ran into the installer limitation I described earlier? :I have used the GParted liveCD to prepare a linux parition for Ubuntu, but upon starting the installer from the liveCD, the only choices are Use Entire Disk, Shrink the NTFS partition on sdb, and Manual. Upon choosing manual, my linux partition(s) are not visible, and the only option is to create a new partition table. Is there a workaround for this? (usin [09:36] g the 7.10 live CD. Also, the partitions are visible in /proc/partitions) [09:36] aim [09:36] goofeedude, how do i uninstaller the vncserver? its not in the uninstall menu! [09:36] this xchat is strange [09:36] loudnlownoma: no...nothing [09:36] i have fouled up!! i accedentally set the letter 'a' in the initiate field for this setting. now, the fire is constantly being painted and i cannot stop it!!! I can clear it, but when i move my mouse the flames start again and i can't change the settings. can somebody please help me?!

[09:38] are u in xchat or aim? [09:38] (04:38:25 AM) detedagowa : Your IM has been sent to my mobile device. When I receive it, I will be able to reply. Thanks for your IM! Want your IMs forwarded to your phone? Click here [09:38] both [09:38] Aztec007: it might be the dayquil, but... "dNd" ? [09:38] jesse: I really don't know? perhaps you could try `sudo apt-get remove tightvnc` (google it first, I'm not a debian/Ubuntu guy yet and I don't recall the proper syntax for apt-get) That's about the best I can come up with :-) [09:38] how do u hae your im's sent to yur phone? [09:39] i dont, thats what your message said [09:39] umop-apisdn: Drag and Drop (I'm trying to sound cool by using linux lingo, please forgive me :) [09:39] thats what yours said to [09:39] are you sure your logged in on aim as well [09:39] yes [09:39] gah why so many communication problems hrm === zanimimotus is now known as animimotus [09:39] hold on [09:39] loudnlownoma: trying to move my prefs.xml to see if it tries to make a new one [09:39] lol [09:39] How can I find where an "icon" is located, I want to know the actual location of the PNG or SVG file for a launcher on my desktop... But how? [09:39] Aztec007: lol, ok... now i feel silly, for not knowing linux lingo... i'm actually a windows tech, but no worries. try this forum entry, see if it's helpful: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1886.html [09:40] add me to buddy list maybe [09:40] biff420: Cool.

[09:41] Aztec007: it's worse than that, actually... I'm a *career* windows tech, in a (watch the caps) MICROSOFT SHOP (my boss's emphasis) [09:41] hey , i don't have any sound in flash, this really bothers me cus i kinda abandoned windows [09:41] biff420: Definitely is strange... Like I said, haven't run across it myself. [09:41] :( flash is all brok'd [09:41] join #detedagowa [09:41] got it [09:41] finally!!! [09:41] umop-apisdn: ah ok, look at the bright side, at least you're living well :) [09:41] Aztec007: i've been fooling around with linux off and on for about 8 or 10 years, but this year i got serious about it - ubuntu looks like a real competitor for the desktop market. [09:41] Hi. Are there any programs other than partition magic on windows that can read/write files in another unmounted ext3 partition? [09:42] Linux desktop has a hyperterminal doesnt it? [09:42] ahi you there? [09:42] tuntun: by definition, nothing can touch unmounted filesystems [09:42] moin [09:42] moinsen [09:42] umop-apisdn: dude, so have I. I started using mandrake and the thrill lasted for like 2 weeks and then I just gave up on it cuz I could never print, [09:43] umop-apisdn: but once I took a look at ol' Gutsy here, I became enamored [09:43] accedentally set the letter 'enter' in the initiate field for this setting. now, the fire is constantly being painted and i cannot stop it!!! I can clear it, but when i move my mouse the flames start again and i can't change the settings. can somebody please help me?! [09:43] umop-apisdn: partitionmagic in windows: It can read write parititions that aren't letterd [09:43] how can i fix this [09:44] Aztec007: no printing, no sound, no OpenGL without fighting... i feel your pain. ubuntu really seems to have its act together, tho... between ubuntu and winedoors, i was playing counterstrike on a brand new box about 35 minutes after i opened it :)) [09:44] is anybody using gdesklets? === macd_ is now known as macd [09:44] steven_: what happens when you try to disable the fire plugin in CCSM? [09:44] or SuperKaramba in Gnome? [09:44] Karyom: I used to. [09:45] steven_: why can't you change the settings? is it not in the preferences menu, at the top of the screen? [09:45] umop-apisdn: yep, if you're a gamer, windows is your master :( [09:45] Aztec007: oh, i dunno... vista may have fixed that for us :) [09:45] it doesnt work for me, maybe because of compiz? [09:45] umop-apisdn: partitionmagic in windows: It can read write parititions that aren't letterd... [09:45] tuntun: not "lettered" and "unmounted" are not the same thing [09:46] umop-apisdn: lol yeah, i'm still skeptical about vista [09:46] do you have Compiz and gdesklets runnin? [09:46] tuntun: what, exactly, are you trying to do? [09:46] umop-apisdn: So true! My new desktop came with Vista on it, and I have had quite an easier time getting some of my games working in Ubuntu than in Vista...lol [09:46] umop-apisdn: I think they are in windows... [09:46] hello to all [09:46] Karyom: if you use compiz, it's recommended to use screenlets. They fit nicely and you can create mac os x expose kind of widgets. [09:46] Aztec007: don't bother with skepticism... the world hates it, and microsoft is trying to quietly find something else for them to be upset about, so they can do vista like they did ME... sweep it under the carpet... [09:47] is there a way to see the files on my windows xp laptop via my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop if they are in the same network [09:47] loudnlownoma: i am the biggest tard [09:47] thanks, gonna take a look on it [09:47] also is there a way to copy files from my windows xp laptop to my Ubuntu laptop ? [09:47] loudnlownoma: i know exactly what you mean - i was just commenting friday about how ubuntu was more backwards-compatible with windows apps than windows is... [09:47] Karyom: imho screenlets has more kiss attitude, and nicer widgets. [09:47] biff420: Careful now. You may be talking to the master on that one...lol [09:47] bmt2: google "samba" [09:47] How could I decompress an NTFS pendrive from linux? [09:47] umop-apisdn: you just might be right, because Vista has been out for what? a couple of months, if not a year and they still cant get their act together [09:47] umop-apisdn: thanks [09:48] bmt2: np [09:48] loudnlownoma: doubt it...it was minimized....probably was that way before I went through reinstalling Ubuntu [09:48] umop-apisdn: Heh. It has definitely been an experience, that's for sure! [09:48] is there another alternative other than samba ....something quick that i can use ? [09:48] loudnlownoma: oh well i was able to go from 32 bit to 64 bit....which is what i want to do the first time [09:48] bmt2: nfs. [09:48] bmt2: uhm... thumbdrive? [09:48] sweet fixed it [09:49] bmt2: samba is the linux version of windows file sharing - it lets your laptop speak windows networking [09:49] umop-apisdn: funny you said thumbdrive...i lost that damn thing...that is why i am trying to do this ...LOL [09:49] biff420: Ahhhh... Well, at least it works :) I made the same mistake when I first installed thinking something had busted it in the install, then realized somehow it was in the taskbar already [09:49] cabrioleur: what is nfs ? [09:49] So how do i install a them? [09:49] biff420: good to hear its working tho! [09:49] the realtek ac97 drivers have fsckd ubuntu, what should i do? [09:49] loudnlownoma: it isnt always showing up in avn either [09:49] I need some help with a Ubuntu 7.10 install...after I install Ubuntu from the LiveCD and restart after grub it hangs on Starting Up... [09:49] steven_: Grats! [09:49] loudnlownoma: thanks for the help [09:49] nfs is for unixes what smb is for windows. [09:50] biff420: np [09:50] also, I have to use Safe Graphics mode to start the liveCD [09:50] umop-apisdn: well umop, I'm either goin to bed or do some more reading but regardless, I thank you for acknowledging me and throwing this poor dog a bone... [09:50] ok now my enter buttion itsent working ? [09:50] HAPPY NEW YEAR'S TO ALL! [09:50] Anybody figure out an easy way to get different desktop backgrounds on the compiz cube yet? [09:50] Aztec007, YOU ARE EARLY [09:51] biff420:Do you mean a different background for each cube face? [09:51] bmt2: oh, duh... 'nother method: share the folder on your xp box, and use the file manager on the linux box to navigate to the windows machine and grab the files... should be there (at least read-only) by default [09:51] How can I install the newest version of aMSN? [09:51] loudnlownoma: yep [09:51] biff420: Cuz if you do, I'd like to know too... hehe. :) [09:51] Aztec007: no problem. good luck, and happy holidays [09:51] LiraNuna: just by a coupe of days 1 to be exact :) [09:51] oh shi- I thought this is #4chan [09:51] umop-apisdn: likewise my brother, peace [09:51] umop-apisdn: now that sounds like something quick and easy [09:52] loudnlownoma: i have found lots of difficult ways to do it...but im not that brave...figured i'd just wait till they patch in in the next release of either nautilus or compiz-fusion [09:52] all i want to do is pass a abundant amount of mp3 files from my xp box to my linux box [09:52] BernardB: use the package manager to install pidgin [09:52] LiraNuna: whats #4chan? [09:52] I searched around for a little bit one night and wasn't finding much, but I wasn't looking very hard either. Then just decided that bed was calling too loudly to worry about it, and haven't had a chance to look any more yet [09:53] okay i share the folder on my xp box...what do i do now to access that folder on my linux box ? [09:53] Anyone familiar with GRUB or Vista's bootloader, and know why either would be loading very slowly? [09:53] bmt2: just click on the "places" menu, and choose "network" [09:54] bmt2: then look for your xp machine, go to the share, and grab the files :) [09:54] can anyone help me reclaim sound in flash? [09:54] I need some help with a Ubuntu 7.10 install...after I install Ubuntu from the LiveCD and restart after grub it hangs on Starting Up... [09:54] any ideas ? heh [09:54] umop-apisdn, I've already installed the aMSN using the package manager, but it still complains there's a new version (I'm running Gutsy). [09:54] Carbonflux: could be any number of things... try the memtest? [09:55] BernardB: sorry, not familiar with that package... is there a help menu? [09:55] loudnlownoma: loading system or getting to this point? [09:55] Carbonflux, on wich hardware? [09:55] Carbonflux: by which i meant the memtest on the livecd, to check your ram. it could also be a few other things, but i would suspect hardware (without any other info) [09:56] umop-apisdn, I'll search google again, thanks though [09:56] !vmware [09:56] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [09:56] umop-apisdn: I can try that now, will it help? I think the issue is graphics frankly, I can only get the LiveCD to run in safe graphics mode, it hangs the same way, the alt/cntl F1/F2 keys don't work either, do you know if there is a parameter on the kernel command line to force it use VGA graphics ? [09:56] BernardB: sorry i wasn't more helpful... i'm assuming, though, that aMSN is an IM client? [09:56] isn't a pc part of the network even though it is running wireless ? [09:57] cabrioleur: Getting to the menu. I get the bios splash screen, then blank window with a cursor for a god 20-30 seconds or more - then GRUB menu pops up and everything works fine after that. [09:57] umop-apisdn, no problem and yes ;-) [09:57] BernardB: if so, you might try pidgin - it works with all the major (and some not-so-major) IM networks, and is almost as good (in my opinion) as trillian [09:57] loudnlownoma: it will do that when cd is in the tray. [09:58] cabrioleur: Do you know if Vista's will do the same? Can't recall if I noticed a difference without a CD in, but I don't think that made a difference [09:58] umop-apisdn, totally agree, but the problem is, I would like to use my webcam and that's not a priority for pidgin. It is a very good IM, though. [09:58] Carbonflux: if the livecd doesn't fly, you're gonna need better help than i to get that running on your box [09:58] good morning! I've got exactly the same CD-buning issue this guy had: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=251714 Unfortunately he didnt tell how he solved it [09:58] umop-apisdn, I'll try to compile it myself [09:58] BernardB: ah, i see. good luck :) [09:58] Thanks [09:58] umop-apisdn: the liveCd works fine in safe graphics mode [09:59] can sombody help me on how to install theams [09:59] loudnlownoma: vista loader will not. Lilo will not too. [09:59] loudnlownoma: and there is a way to fix this if you want. [09:59] Carbonflux: the fact that you have to choose "safe graphics mode" is where i get stumped - if it doesn't just go, i recommend someone with a little more experience than myself :) [09:59] umop-apisdn: thanks for trying :) [09:59] I try to install apache (as interanet web server)/Squid (transparent mode as cache server) on my office server. when I use iptable to redirect http request to squid, i lost my access to apache. I checked using telnet and saw the local request to server (http requests) go trough squid and so squid not work. How can I define a rule that exclude requests to http port of server do not redirect to squid? [10:00] i'm in trouble connecting a NFS share from an Ubuntu server machine to my Ubuntu laptop, portmap and nfs-common are running on client side (but i dont see listed nfs when i cat /proc/filesystems), i have googled around to chek solution but nothiong useful, could someone help? [10:00] cabrioleur: That's why I'm so puzzled with it. A couple nights ago I switched over to Vista's loader. Rewrote the MBR with EasyBCD, re-setup GRUB on my Ubuntu drive, got the Window's loader working correctly - but it does the same thing [10:01] Lol, Gutsy restarted abruptly [10:01] olli: in the forum you linked to, the original poster stated that he fixed it by replacing the hardware, or maybe the software... i quote him now: "The problem is with the drive itself. The version of cdrecord that i had was not compatable with burning data cds." [10:01] loudnlownoma: disable cd booting in bios, or move it below hd. [10:01] what can i use insted of vmware? [10:02] vallhalla81: Virtualbox [10:02] olli: so either he replaced the hardware, or he replaced the software, i'm not sure which... but you mnight try a different cd burning app? [10:02] umop-apisdn, I did so [10:02] * TopoMorto reboot server [10:02] scguy318: ok thank you [10:02] cabrioleur: Will try that, or at least try watching without a CD in the drive and see if it makes a difference... Back in a few. Thanks! [10:02] umop-apisdn, I thought scsi-emulation was the problem [10:03] h0n3st: what port is squid running on? [10:03] umop-apisdn, does it make any sense to enable ide-scsi? [10:04] olli: if you read the whole page, it looks like maybe he upgraded his version of cdrecord [10:04] I have a wireless-and-also-wired router. I, henceforth, want to connect to it with ethernet, and not wirelessly. How can I disable the wireless of my pc? (I don't even want roaming mode to be on, because it connects to other networks.) [10:04] umop-apisdn, the problems occured since I updated from feisty to gutsy [10:04] olli: sorry, my GG box doesn't even have a cdrom ;) [10:05] oh, hey [10:05] olli: is it an ide cdrw? [10:05] umop-apisdn, yes [10:05] umop-apisdn, in feisty I never changed its configuration. it just worked out of the bx [10:05] My system had 2x80GB hard drives and 2 user profiles running 7.10 [10:05] one drive with one partition having the operating system and my /home directory [10:05] second dive with two partitions Swap and extra storage. [10:05] olli: then, yes, maybe... ide-scsi might be a good thing to enable. i know windows uses a fake scsi interface for burners, maybe ubuntu does, too. [10:05] The second drive with the Swap is dead and the system will not boot into GUI. [10:06] How do I reconfigure my system to get a swap on the working drive and not loose any of the /home data? [10:07] olli: i don't have enough experience to be truly helpful, and for that i apologize. [10:07] umop-apisdn, thank you for trying anyways! [10:07] my soundcard played everything until i updated to dapper drake, then flash plugin stopped working [10:08] hello, i m going to reintsall the OS...but i hav downloaded many packages....i want to use them for new sys....any help? [10:08] Humanzy: u mean the sound stopped working in flash plugin? [10:08] yep [10:08] if so, do you have more than one soundcard? [10:08] i may [10:08] cool i found a way to make divx web player files play [10:08] i know i have integrated sound [10:09] theres a plugin for firefox that can direct the divx files to vlc [10:09] so it coul dbe [10:09] if so, its probably playing out the other card, i had same problem with crappy onboard sound card, vs my nice sblive [10:09] what can i do [10:09] theres something on the fourms to fix it [10:09] also what's this plugin? [10:09] Has somebody got a xChat script that shows a lot of sysinfo (uptime, best uptime, processor, motherboard etc.) (not xlack!)? [10:10] try googling for: ubuntu multiple soundcard flash player [10:10] BernardB, go to www.xchat.org and search for sysinfo [10:11] i have found this compiz fusion cube plugin to be awfully useful [10:11] anyone know why my machine would have eth0, eth1, eth3, and eth4 listed when i "ifconfig -a"? more importantly, what happened to eth2? [10:11] i thought it was just pointless eye candy, but i use it all the time, every time i clutter up a cube side i switch to a clean side [10:11] oh, and to clarify... yes, i have 4 nics :) [10:11] ja, its useful eye candy :P [10:12] now the wobbly windows on the other hand, is pretty, and nothing more [10:12] i use it lots for like keeping work related windows seperate from my irc/web browsing :D [10:12] eris yeah it is good for that [10:12] jkfdsjjklfds: actually, i use the wobbly windows to keep my boss from looking at my screen - he glances over, i wobble the window, he turns green... [10:12] also, it looks pretty, and makes people jealous [10:12] does compiz have the burn effect? i like my wobbly windows to turn into a cloud of fairy dust when i close them [10:12] then you can be like [10:12] it just looks nice [10:13] eris: yes [10:13] "yeah it was a total pain in the ass to set up, i'm so computer awesome, check it out" [10:13] yeah compiz fusion has the burn [10:13] and you can customize the burn a lot [10:13] I'm not able to import/play anything in Rythmbox...any ideas? [10:13] particles, burn time, size, color, etc [10:13] hiw can i change the them for my task bar ? [10:13] mmmhm, thats the bestest [10:13] cabrioleur: Well, the CD in the drive didn't change anything, but switching the HDD to boot first resolved it. Is that something new to Vista dual-boots? Can't seem to remember that being an issue on my laptop at all, with or without a CD in the drive as well. (Laptop has an XP/Feisty dual-boot) === \`slushpuppy`\ is now known as pc_dark [10:14] eris: actually, i like the multi-colored particle burn effect, much cooler than just lighting it on fire - goes well with the "magic lamp" min/max effect [10:14] yes i have that too === pc_dark is now known as \`slushpuppy`\ [10:14] loudnlownoma: no, it has nothing to do with vista. It's the motherboard and bios. [10:14] tho using beryl, and i havent upgraded cause as someone said setting it up was a uber pita and that that it works no updating till im ready to upgrade the whole box :D [10:15] !ping [10:15] pong [10:15] cabrioleur: Ahhhh, makes sense. That would have been my next guess, as this is the first I've run across that. Good to know though. Thanks again! I can't imagine how much hair I've lost trying to fix that. Been searching for answers for a few days now and getting nothing related to my issue... [10:15] I'm not able to play/import anything in Rythmbox..any ideas? [10:16] eris: you'd be surprised how easy it is to set up on gibbon... and how little breaks now :) [10:16] compiz fusion works good in gnome, but crappy in kde [10:16] then again everything works crappy in kde [10:16] biff420: if you are trying to import mp3's, install codecs first. [10:17] cabrioleur: is there an option in the player? [10:17] !restricted [10:17] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [10:17] Tyczek, I tried a lot, but I'm not satisfied, maybe somebody can recommend me a good sysinfo script? [10:18] biff420: check out that first link [10:18] i purposely test nonfree before i test free, because nonfree works [10:18] !ping [10:18] pong [10:18] uuh Screenlets is damn cool...Thank again. :) [10:18] gah, i have *got* to get this router set up, and get off this little belkin - it overheats so quickly! [10:18] BernardB, well... I had one, but it was simple... and for long it's not as usefull... only spamm channel [10:19] lounlownoma: i found the gstreamer stuff in syn [10:19] Tyczek, it's not for this network, so that's no problem. [10:19] can anyone help me step by step to have a media player installed? [10:20] Oh how the time flies.... 5 am already and 10 is gonna be here way too soon! Nite all, and thanks for all the help! [10:20] BernardB, hmm dunno... maybe http://xchat.org/cgi-bin/search.pl?str=system&cat=0&Submit=Search [10:20] jeezers in terminal type sudo apt-get install vlc === Unit_A_ is now known as Unit_A [10:20] BernardB, 3 position? [10:20] vlc plays just about anything [10:20] hi [10:20] Will try it now Tyczek [10:21] my hash # for 7.10 doesn't match what's listed on the site [10:22] hi. How to list the content of a package ? [10:22] take the package, and open it up and see whats inside [10:22] is it impossible with apt ? [10:22] @jkfd~, i get an error wen i try it [10:23] Is there someone that can help me with ubuntu once I get it installed? [10:23] yeah, likely, rainx [10:23] right hero [10:23] ? [10:23] lol come back here with questions [10:23] I have a wireless-and-also-wired router. I, henceforth, want to connect to it with ethernet, and not wirelessly. How can I disable the wireless of my pc? (I don't even want roaming mode to be on, because it connects to other networks.) [10:23] or consult documentation [10:23] google is your best friend [10:23] yes I know [10:23] asdf take a look at apt-file [10:24] sweet! [10:24] I've found many tutorials and such its hard to understand [10:24] amikrop: blacklist the module :-) [10:24] thans Elko , i try [10:24] amikrop: remove the card from motherboard. [10:24] installing ubuntu shouldnt be hard [10:24] oh no I know that much [10:24] amikrop: set it up not to connect. [10:24] Tyczek, the problem is this when I for example type in /sys: http://rafb.net/p/QqKi8Z99.html [10:24] what problems are you planning on encountering? [10:24] Im talking a bit lil more in debt like on how to get beryl running and such [10:24] cabrioleur: Isn't there a more elegant way? :P [10:24] cabrioleur: how? [10:24] along with my video card correctly installed [10:25] rainx, its easier than ever [10:25] Rainx: it's not hard.. [10:25] you just enable your restricted driver in restricted driver manager [10:25] and compiz fusion (beryl) works automatically [10:25] last time i tried to install my video drivers and run beryl i could never log into it again [10:25] i had to reformat [10:25] amikrop: remove roaming, that's first. The network-manager will not work for wireless. Make sure the setup is not saying anything. It will skip. [10:25] so this time im planning for some help lol [10:25] BernardB, umm... [10:25] cabrioleur: How can I remove roaming mode? [10:25] vlc: [10:25] Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>=1.2.5) but it is not installable [10:25] wat do i do?? [10:26] If I do so, it is enabled again, since I don't give it manual connection information. [10:26] BernardB, dunno... The scripts worked fine for me... Maybe you should try another one ? [10:26] does anyone know how to get world of warcraft working under ubuntu? [10:26] amikrop: go to network configuration and uncheck roaming. [10:26] Also, when I right click -> disable wireless, on the nm-applet, nect time I boot it is enabled again [10:26] If I do so, it is enabled again, since I don't give it manual connection information. [10:26] Yes, I'll search for more. Thanks Tyczek [10:27] Rainx: We use Crossover here but there are other ways I've been told. [10:27] Hello, am I in big trouble if I deleted the file /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh ? [10:27] BernardB, np [10:27] I'm quite scared [10:27] cabrioleur: Actually, I am not allowed to click "OK" if I untick roaming, if I don't give manual connection info. [10:27] Rainx: try wine [10:28] ok.... is crossover free? or does it cost [10:28] !wine [10:28] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [10:28] johnny_5 how is road runner in hawaii [10:28] If you change your network setting when running LiveCD is there any way to restart the network and get ubuntu to use the net settings? [10:28] slow? [10:28] Rainx: Crossover is payware [10:28] Rainx: with a 30-day trial [10:28] oh darn [10:28] ciao [10:28] one time payment [10:28] Rainx: Wine is what you want [10:28] !lista [10:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about lista - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:28] or monthly [10:28] Anyone knows if I have to re-install all over again if I deleted the file */etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh* ? I'm really scared... [10:28] rainx you can sign up as a advocate to test beta software for crossover [10:29] Rainx: its one time [10:29] then you get it free [10:29] Rainx: I believe we paid $35 for it but if you can find a free way, try that first. [10:29] Rainx: what's missing from Wine that you would consider Crossover? [10:29] am i ablet to post links here? I'll show you what ive read [10:30] Rainx: sure [10:30] http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS4727367100.html [10:30] scguy318: Wine requires a lot of messing with.. in Crossover it just installed easily. [10:30] exactly [10:30] thats one reason not to bother with wine [10:30] lol [10:30] ScottG: yeah, but I like my stuff free :) [10:30] #ubuntu-cn [10:30] I don't mind [10:30] ScottG: and there's not much messing, but whatever works for you :) [10:30] rainx you can download crossover 6.2 for ubuntu gutsy here http://dl.btjunkie.org/torrent/Crossover-Linux-Pro-6-2-For-Debian-Ubuntu/4324e0022acf76a7fecb129da95b3013839f38d1a1b4/download.torrent [10:31] Rainx: u should use openoffice crossover is useless [10:31] is that...legit? [10:31] x3roconf: depends on what you're doing [10:31] umop-apisdn: it is on default port [10:31] I do too.. but my wife plays WoW and crossover got it working so $35 was a small price to pay for peace :) [10:31] really..? [10:31] wow works in wine too [10:31] ScottG: WoW works on Wine but, hey, I would pay anything for the wife :) [10:32] heh [10:32] scottg thats cool. im joining the beta testers to get photoshop csx working [10:32] well [10:32] I take about a 50% frame rate hit running Wow in Wine when I have tired ti [10:32] as soon as this ubuntu iso is done downloading im gonna install and be back [10:32] so yeah [10:32] i have a question related to wine/ubuntu - is this not the appropriate IRC? [10:32] Carbonflux: latest Wine has some regressions, as for 0.9.50 I think [10:32] Carbonflux: not sure about .51/.52 [10:32] so ac97 drivers fubared ubuntu. How can I start ubuntu without sound? [10:33] #winehq I believe [10:33] luddite: well, shoot, though you may be better served in #winehq [10:33] scguy318: well I have not tried it for about a year, I assume its gotten a lot better [10:33] thanks scottG. ok [10:33] upgrade from ac97 [10:33] get some hi def [10:33] ok i do not like kanotix.....but i have no other live disc on hand so it will have to do [10:33] Carbonflux: read the AppDb and see for yourself [10:33] does anyone know how to restart the network when running liveCD ? [10:33] Carbonflux: as of...49, there are some reg tweaks that definitely improve rendering [10:33] scguy318: I will, thank you :) [10:33] oh no, he's gunna use kde [10:33] kde BLOWS [10:34] I woukld much rather use Wine then boot windows [10:34] I think that's a matter of choice.. [10:34] yay 5 min til download is done [10:34] KDE/Gnome I mean.. not windows :) [10:34] yeah, some choose to have slow unreliable systems [10:34] I have 2 remaining applications making me keep windowsxp on dual boot. a) nortel contivity b) steinbergs Nuendo3 (i have 1 years of recording data in it) [10:34] I have playing pirates of the burning seas, some people have said the open beta already runs under wine [10:34] cuc cu [10:34] How can I start ubuntu without sound? The ac97 drivers fubared ubuntu. [10:34] i cant get nuendo to open in wine. it starts then just dissapears. [10:35] blacklist the ac97 driver in /etc/modprobe.d?

I do a manual config and change the settings but I don't see any way to restart the network with the new values [10:35] Nuendo is a multitrack audio recording prog [10:35] ubuntu_: I would wager #redhat? [10:35] maybe we could offer him a little english support [10:35] cant [10:36] tuntun - why [10:36] ubuntu_: you probably should join #redhat for RHEL/Fedora needs [10:36] ubuntu_: and be sure to read the topic! :) [10:36] hola alguna chilena por ai [10:36] do i have to install any extra modules in order to enable ide-scsi with 2.6 series kernel?

I'm not too up to snuff with wget params === ActySofts_ is now known as ActySofts [13:09] tbarturbo: then save, now [13:09] does anyone know how to turn on font antialiasing in wine? [13:09] SCGUY318 saved [13:09] ActySofts: ...the last time i was eding menu. [13:09] it seems to be disabled by default in ubuntu's wine build [13:09] tbarturbo: sudo modprobe -r ath_pci && sudo modprobe -r ath_hal && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper [13:09] google doesn't seem to give any hints [13:09] scguy318, It just whines about "index.html" not found (404) [13:09] do I just need to change the font, or... [13:09] ActySofts: i when i click "Edit Menus" nothing happens! [13:10] SCGUY318 done that... [13:10] negativt: the way wget's recursive mode works is that it basically downloads an HTML page and follows all the links in the page, up to a specified level [13:10] ok [13:10] tbarturbo2: with luck your wireless should be working now (click ze Network manager icon)_ [13:10] tbarturbo2: if not, try a reboot [13:10] So how do I download all files in " http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/iphone/2007/tips/" then? [13:10] i have a small problem, the processor fan is running all the time, and the battery is only abt one hour life time, while in windows i got it to work at lest 2 hours, is there a hardware problem ? [13:10] lemme check the link out [13:11] SCGUY318 reboot time then no wifi options yet [13:11] Parsi: go to System -> Preferences -> Main Menu [13:11] khelll: might be all the daemons that run by default on Ubuntu [13:11] Parsi: and tell me if something shows in the "Applications" menu [13:11] hey scguy318.... installed fine, starts from the menu and CPU usage has dropped from 90-100% down to 20-40% [13:11] !w32codecs [13:11] The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages [13:12] Oberon_: :D [13:12] what the !@#~@ did firefox do wrong with 2.0 I wonder [13:12] negativt: is there a page that references videos in the link you show me? [13:12] pretty sad when the beta is working better than the stable [13:12] Arthu: don't flood the channgel please, use something like: /msg ubotu w32codecs [13:12] *Arthur [13:12] SCGUY318 when this is done my other half had a packard bell i need to fix wifi on too if your up for it > :D [13:12] scguy318 what to do then? [13:13] scguy318, Well.. not really... I grabbed it from the source of apple's iPhone page. [13:13] My bad:/ === Arthur is now known as BehiiMehii [13:13] khelll: you could try turning stuff off in System -> Prefs -> Services (?), and I would look around a bit [13:13] SCGUY318 no wifi option in the network manager again :( [13:14] hmm it's over now O: [13:14] *crash* [13:14] negativt: unfortunately I can't think of an appropriate way to get the contents of the directory you linked me, you prob should find a page that references vids in taht directory [13:14] scguy318, ok [13:14] x3roconf: bad trip, eh? i would call for medical assistance [13:14] .o0(...fuck. Total og 1164 nicks...) [13:14] oin #php [13:14] tbarturbo: can you pastebin for me dmesg?

[13:19] doesn't matter [13:19] if you don't know, don't use it, it's there to highlight the code or so, but it's useless for text [13:19] Can someone assist me, I'm trying to batch convert a lot of files in Mplayer and was wondering how i can something like %n or w/e to set the input filename as the output filename, Any ideas? [13:19] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50102/ does that work? [13:20] tbarturbo2: lemme look [13:20] SCGUY318 good luck thats confusing stuff:O [13:20] tbarturbo: dmesg dumps the kernel ring buffer [13:21] JayC: awk? [13:21] maybe just bash scripting can do it too [13:21] SCguy318 i didnt do the dmesg in terminal first is that ok? [13:21] tbarturbo: interesting, looks like the driver encountered issues while attempting to initialize your device :S :( [13:21] tbarturbo: sec [13:21] tbarturbo: that's ok [13:21] rexy: I know there is a way i dont need to know how to script im fine w/that im just wondering what the variable is? [13:22] JayC: havent the foggiest, i'd look it up in a book on awk/bash scripting [13:22] SCGUY318 i dont know but i have a feeling theres a way to activate the wifi on the keypad but the instructions dont tell me anything :( [13:22] when I go visit sites like metacity and other streaming videos they will not play in firefox. any suggestions? [13:22] <^Hasanibrahim> hello [13:22] Rexy: I dont even know what to look for, just googled awk and came across a manual but other than that no idea.. [13:23] <^Hasanibrahim> i want to install amarok on my pc but [13:23] con-man: depends on what media you are trying to play, there is mplayer and the other thing that comes with ubuntu, but it might be drm'ed so you cant view it, what site are you trying to watch? [13:23] <^Hasanibrahim> i can't connect net [13:23] <^Hasanibrahim> how can i do it ? [13:23] metacafe.com [13:24] how can you configure avahi to only use certain network interfaces? [13:24] tbarturbo: some Fn + something I would bet [13:24] that uses flash [13:24] con-man: Do you have flash installed? [13:24] I have adobe flash installed yes [13:25] do you use no-script? [13:25] whats that? [13:25] then the answer is no [13:25] ^Hasanibrahim: what kind of connection do you have? [13:25] <^Hasanibrahim> earthling: [13:25] i'm not sure how to check if your adobe flash is working , but that's what you need [13:25] <^Hasanibrahim> i am now in internet cafe [13:25] hmmmmm [13:25] <^Hasanibrahim> i have no connection at home [13:26] JayC Ihave a script for converting avi files using ffmpeg that does the filename manipulation. let me pastebin it for you [13:26] ^Hasanibrahim, but at your hamoe what kind of connection are you thinking of setting up? [13:26] th0r: it is a streaming file is the problem [13:26] Hi... my USB keyboard wont work in 7.10 when connected to the motherboards USB ports, although it will work in the BIOS and grub... it does work in 7.10 when on a PCI expansion card, but then it cant be used for BIOS/GRUB. Any ideas? [13:27] <^Hasanibrahim> earthling: i can't connect net at home? :( [13:27] Its frustrating that it wont work [13:27] rexy does metacafe.com work for you? [13:27] JayC I'm not saying this script will do the job for you...but it is an example of how to do the filename handling [13:27] con-man: yup, works fine [13:27] ^Hasanibrahim: explan in detail? [13:27] th0r: Oh sorry, Thx! lol [13:28] Guys, I have this problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=653612 [13:28] SCGUY318 reading somewhere something about needing acer_acpi to get the wifi card to turn on? [13:28] con-man: maybe reinstall flash through add/remove programs? [13:28] <^Hasanibrahim> earthling: i want to setup amarok with a cd into my pc (at home) [13:28] tbarturbo: possibly [13:28] tbarturbo: can you tell me what ndiswrapper -v says? [13:28] <^Hasanibrahim> how can i download it's *.deb ? [13:28] hi, i need to determine my video card, can you tell me the commands or how can i do that from the GUI? [13:28] rexy: Flash is broken. [13:28] SCGUY318 but you might guess i havent a clue how to lol... ok hang on [13:28] how does badblocks behave with badblocks with written data ? [13:29] ^Hasanibrahim: do you have ubuntu running? [13:29] SCGUY318 utils version: 1.9 [13:29] driver filename: /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper.ko [13:29] version: 1.45 [13:29] vermagic: 2.6.22-14-generic SMP mod_unload [13:29] Jack_Sparrow: err, it's not here on gutsy, but i think i'm using the opensource flash and not the adobe one [13:29] rexy: I dont see it in add/remove programs [13:29] nicolah: something is using the device still [13:29] rexy whats the apt-get command? [13:29] my god! "Application" items are disappeared in a small dot! [13:29] tbarturbo2: ah, I see the cause [13:29] SCGUY318 gdgd :P [13:30] rexy: add remove flash will not work at this time [13:30] rexy: yes, I know it says "thunar" but thunar is closed [13:30] JayC actually it is simpler than I thought....the filename handling is just handled as a passed parameter... [13:30] ffmpeg -y -i $1.avi -b 768k -ab 128k -ac 2 -ab 64k -f mp4 /windows/E/video/iPod/$1.mp4 [13:30] aptoncd might work, create a cd for amarok, [13:30] !brokenflash | rexy [13:30] nicolah: try entering sync and unmounting again [13:30] rexy: 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. [13:30] hi, i need to determine my video card, can you tell me the commands or how can i do that from the GUI? [13:30] th0r: Is that ffmpeg specific? [13:30] Hi [13:30] hello, i enter some text using editor "pico" (in terminal) which is a one long line, i save it and exit pico. then i open the file again and the line is seperated into two lines. why does it do that? and how could i make him not to? thanks [13:31] has anyone exprience in mune problems?! [13:31] tbarturbo2: this won't be fun for either of us but [13:31] JayC according to the man page for mplayer you can pass the url for the stream as part of the command line, so you could do the same sort of command with mplayer [13:31] tbarturbo2: we'll need to install ndiswrapper from tarball [13:31] rexy whats the apt-get command for flash with firefox? [13:31] con-man: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree but see !brokenflash [13:31] rexy: same problem [13:31] con-man: read back a bit, appearantly it's broken and you need to look in that thread to fix it [13:32] SCGUY318 ok i dont have a clue so line by line i guess unless u can get remote access? [13:32] nicolah: check with ps if it's still running? [13:32] JayC the $1.avi $1.mp4 isn't ffmpeg specific...the command line parameters are passed as $x...$0 is the command on the command line, $1 the first parameter on the line...etc [13:32] tbarturbo2: sure, though I wouldn't mind remote access, easier for me :P [13:32] ps ufax for a full listing [13:32] "Edit Menus" don't work! [13:32] tadah: Does the first line have a funny added character at the end.. [13:32] hi [13:32] SCGUY318 do u have msn to discuss that or yahoo rather than dishing info out on here?! [13:32] tbarturbo2: anyway [13:33] tbarturbo2: I sure do [13:33] tbarturbo2: lets see if you get this PM [13:33] th0r: Okay so the command id be using would be somthing like mplayer --dumpstream *url*/N.rm --dumpfile (here i want the filename N.rm as the output..How would i do that? [13:33] tbarturbo2: I've sent you a PM, hopefully you've received [13:33] JayC you could put the command in a loop "for * in ." I think would be the syntax....
