[00:11] misslecommander_, well, you might not be running with the right drivers then -- have you tried this command? sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? what refresh rates does the script say X can support? [00:11] Ubunoob: have you pushed enter? [00:11] Hi, when I download any file and the "save to" explorer [?] window opens, Gnome blanks out the file name in the "Save as" dialog box.

[00:14] evil_tech, is ubuntu 7.10 compatible to run with on-board graphics? [00:14] misslecommander_, well, dpkg-reconfigure is going to reonfigure X for you and generate a new Xorg.conf .. in the meantime, it's going to query your hardware and find out information like adapter name, monitor, refresh rates, etc -- make a backup of your Xorg,conf first tho just incase [00:14] Ubunoob, yeah [00:14] * ilikebuntu000 is up and running newest ubuntu with a gForce 2 MX 64MB graphics, and only ~200MB RAM, on a 500MHrz box!!!!!!!!!! and it WORKS! at a usable level. anyone that says they need faster than that is using their computer for mor than a tool (for Games, probably). [00:14] hey.. Eterm doesnt handle utf? [00:15] evil_tech, pricechild, how do i boot into recovery mode in 7.10? [00:15] Ubunoob, if you changed graphics cards, you'll need to reconfigure X again to reflect the change [00:15] un_op : so that will just do the monitor stuff, nothing else ? [00:15] neverblue, I got a blank screen with lines ? [00:15] Ubunoob: Escape during power up to get grub menu [00:16] FluxD, sorry, give me a min or two, working on my own issues here :) [00:16] un_op, will it be easy to reconfigure x? [00:16] misslecommander_, well, it'll also do keyboard and mice -- it's usually safe to follow the defaults, but sometimes common sense is needed .. nothing too hard [00:16] neverblue, sorry just ping me when u are free [00:16] FluxD, sounds good, otr just keep trying the channel [00:16] Ubunoob, it's a two minute process [00:16] un_op: any file from anywhere.

[00:52] who was the one that had suggested the url to change refresh rate for my monitor ? [00:53] FluxD: watch the vncserver pc, there might be a windows asking for permission when you connect to it :D [00:53] Do you know if someone in ubuntu intend to release a fglrx package for cards pre-radeon 9500? [00:53] ari_stress, well it asks me for a pass and and I enter pass but after that the screen is blank/grey etc [00:54] Owleto: well fglrx doesn't support anything below 9500 now so how can ubuntu do it? [00:54] I'm trying to install wine - I've already APT-GET'd the package, but it did not create a ~/.wine directory - does it function differently now? [00:54] up_op ? it worked the modification for the refresh is now set to 85hz [00:54] draconius: you need to winecfg [00:54] DerangedDelusion: run winecfg [00:54] DerangedDelusion: it should create a .wine directory on first use of wine [00:54] Owleto: that driver would not even be able to work with the 2.6 kernel anyways [00:54] try look in the menus, there will be a winecfg [00:54] !wine [00:55] is there a way to use openbox window decoration themes in gnome? [00:55] you can also run winecfg from the command line [00:55] FluxD: i mean, is there any window pop up in the vncserver pc, that says someone is trying to connect, and that whether you would allow it [00:55] 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. [00:56] marshall: use OpenBox as your WM [00:56] ari_stress, I have no gui on the server [00:56] Do I need to sudo winecfg? Cause it's spitting ALOT of errors [00:56] kitche: huh, a bit confused because Ati have fglrx for 9200 pro on their web pages... maybe I'm wrong [00:56] oh [00:56] mneptok: how would that change my life though? [00:56] Owleto: yeah did you notice the date on that driver though [00:56] DerangedDelusion: no no sudo [00:56] FluxD: i think i cannot help more [00:56] marshall: a change from Metacity to OB? dunno. you tell me. [00:57] ari_stress, thx [00:57] mneptok: but i dont know either [00:57] FluxD: if there is no GUI, then there will be no vnc view :D [00:57] mneptok: im scared man. [00:57] kitche: didn't downloaded... I suppose it must be an old version [00:57] FluxD: vnc is for GUI desktop [00:57] ari_stress, how do I install a GUI then :) [00:57] DerangedDelusion: gui programs are often very verbose when launched from the terminal but it's often ok ;) [00:57] marshall: Metacity is the GNOME WM. use OB in its place. then you can use OB themes with GNOME. [00:57] FluxD: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [00:58] ari_stress, let me try that and see how that works out [00:58] FluxD: ok [00:58] * mneptok wonders why people bother with VNC when X forwarding works so well === amidaniel|away is now known as amidaniel [00:58] mneptok: ok, wish me luck bro [00:58] mneptok, link? [00:59] mneptok: prbably because most people either want a full desktop or they don't feel like setting up X forwarding myself I m the full desktop person but I use freenx for that when it works that is [00:59] ok, im back [00:59] is there a GUI for post fix? [00:59] what channel can i join to discuss circuits? [00:59] ridge-meister: #electronics [01:00] FluxD: http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/XoverSSH/X-over-SSH2.html [01:00] thank you astro76 :) [01:00] anyone know how to make /tmp exec,? without rebooting?? [01:00] kitche: The drivers that ati offers for Radeon 9200pro are old, and probably even slower that the open version, so installing them will not help my poor PIII. That is the point? [01:00] davidwong: sudo chmod -R -x+X /tmp [01:00] Owleto: well they might not even install on a 2.6 kernel is my point [01:01] how do you stop a program thats inetrfering with Apache? [01:01] kitche: thanks [01:01] how to install .run files ? [01:01] i just installed a fresh copy of ubuntu. updates ran and installed compiz fusion etc. rebooted. how do i now turn it on and check out the prettiness? [01:01] uniqueminds: chmod +x .run ./ .run [01:02] gmoore:system->preferences->appearance [01:02] i think [01:02] gmoore, I bet it's already running [01:02] mneptok: how do i make it noexec after i finish? [01:02] im on my server so no gui [01:02] mneptok,ty [01:02] but not with fancy-pants animations and stuff [01:02] in appearances i went to visual effects and set it to 'extra' [01:02] mneptok: is there a way i can continue using compiz with openbox window decorations? [01:03] marshall: no idea. i don;t use compositing. [01:03] Is there a GUI used in Ubuntu for postfix? [01:03] mneptok: why not? [01:03] davidwong: /tmp is a directory. it should always have the execute bit [01:03] what would be the simplest way to copy over everything in a previous installation of Ubuntu to a new install? I don't suppose I could just do a new install, then copy over all the old folders? [01:03] Is anybody able to see my messages? [01:03] marshall: i prefer reliability over pretty [01:03] gmoore, then you should have something fancy to look at ;) You can also customize the effects, but you need to install a package for it. I don't remember what it was, though [01:04] Zermelo, that should work out nicely [01:04] Hey guys, Feisty has seriously destroyed my whole system, I had flash worked, it now crashs all the time, and doesn't play audio at all. Azereus doesn't work anymore, and whenever I try moving files around in the graphical display for too long the whole thing fails and I can't view the contents of any folders or open any file because linux can no longer recognize the file type [01:04] mneptok: im sorry === emgent is now known as \emgent [01:04] filthpig: where though? running firefox etc i dont see any magic happening. i want to see spinning cubes and shit on fire and chrome spheres on checkerboards === \emgent is now known as emgent [01:04] filthpig: really, so there is no registry settings or anything i have to worry about ?? [01:05] oh shi i moved the window and it's all wavy [01:05] cool [01:05] i'm seriously considering just installing xp again [01:05] Is there a GUI used in Ubuntu for postfix?

[01:05] gmore: you probably want to install ccsm [01:05] !webmin > linux__ (linux__, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:05] mneptok,so it gives u a gui if u install kubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-desktop ? [01:05] Zermelo-Fraenkel: the basis of mathematics [01:05] Zermelo: you'll need to copy everything from your home. includionh hidden files. rsync is your friend. [01:05] omg, this is insane. i spend more time fixing linux than using it [01:05] Humanzy: try making a fresh install of 7.10 [01:05] now new problem per usual [01:06] cool in that, ebox then? [01:06] Humanzy: dont use azureus [01:06] i double click on Network icon on desktop, now it doesnt bring anythign up [01:06] linux__: i think so [01:06] rhs: indeed, set theory is one of the proposed foundations of mathematics [01:06] this is for the birds [01:06] FluxD: any X-based GUI on any Unix-like machine can, in theory, be displayed on any other Unix machine. or X-capable Windows or Mac. [01:06] can anyone view this under ubuntu: http://apex.eng.usf.edu/sample/sample.asx ? [01:06] <|ns|nR8> im the opposite misslecommander. im bored cause everything always works [01:07] Does anybody else have problems with samba shares when using "Save As" in applications? [01:07] how do you uninstall webmin? [01:07] !webmin [01:07] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. [01:08] how can i be superuser ? [01:08] !sudo | uniqueminds [01:08] uniqueminds: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

[01:08] ok i've got a question, does anyone know which mirror for downloading a ubuntu product is closest to washington [01:08] thnx [01:08] !gksudo [01:08] 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) [01:09] uniqueminds: yes remember gksudo too [01:09] thnx allot guys [01:09] np [01:09] im allready 2 days busy to get ubuntu working [01:09] Can somebody confirm my messages are getting through please [01:09] i only can boot with recovery mode [01:09] yes stbcomp [01:09] thanks [01:10] stbcomp: you mean on irc? [01:10] yep [01:10] stbcomp: you'll do better asking your question rather than asking if anyone had the problem [01:10] oh, well i c them [01:10] okay thanks [01:10] so does server install have TWM as its window manager ? [01:10] FluxD: no X anything [01:10] I try to Save As in some applications, but my samba shares don't show as an option [01:11] stbcomp: mounted through gnome? (places menu) [01:11] yep [01:11] server install has no GUI [01:11] astro76, so what in ubuntu has twm as default wm ? [01:11] some apps work some, like firefox don't [01:11] stbcomp: yeah not all programs work with GnomeVFS, you'll want to mount it for real [01:11] uniqueminds: Can we assume you have used sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:11] FluxD: if you're using gnome, metacity's the default [01:11] when i went to a java page on firefox, a window popped up letting me install a plugin for java. i picked the first one. now i cant view java applets. any idea how to get back to that install window? [01:11] nope you cant [01:12] ;( i should have known this array wouldnt work [01:12] damn, metacity is FAST in comparision to compiz :) [01:12] !java [01:12] okay, I"m a noob here, any how=to's on that? [01:12] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [01:12] erat123, reload the page [01:12] FluxD: no desktops I'm aware of use it as a window manager [01:12] anything work roght on this OS, its so unstable. i do nothing, and my NetworkManager just stops working although i have internet connection, its really getting stupid by now [01:12] * mary-kate is just here, observing [01:12] soldats: i did, it keeps using the installed program now [01:12] this way i can learn more on ubuntu [01:12] dies anybody know how i can use openbox as the window manager and compiz at the same time? [01:12] uniqueminds: Boot recovery mode... run that command.. select vesa mode and 1024 max res.. to get basic gui access.. then we can work on your video card monitor setup [01:13] what are the system requirements for server edition 7.10?

[01:13] ubotu? lol [01:13] Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [01:13] gmoore: windows key [01:13] astro76: ah. [01:13] how do i Fix or Reinstall Network Manager so the dumb things works right again ? do nothing and it just fails [01:13] astro76, apparently my server company installed that on my server =/ [01:13] FluxD: ah, yeah it would be a good light wm to use for vnc I guess === zionpsyfer is now known as MCSbreaker [01:14] :o?

[01:16] misslecommander: well network manager isn't the most stable program [01:16] it is if you know how to outsmart it [01:16] if i remove and re-install Network Manager will the internet still work ? [01:16] misslecommander: and please stop the random insulting comments [01:16] cishpix: there must be some web crawler [01:16] i know how to use ifup/down [01:16] Call me crazy, but this is WAY more stable than windoze [01:17] cishpix: harvestman [01:17] misslecommander, sure -- it's an entirely optional package [01:17] Hello.

[01:18] ogre, no gui [01:18] misslecommander: they work perfectly well for thousands of people. now please stop with the random "this sucks!" comments. [01:18] misslecommander: You may want to log off and take a break. [01:18] astro : i did ask question if you didnt see [01:18] i mean say my name or need me* [01:18] aw, complaining isn't allowed [01:18] what was the question? [01:18] goodhabit, google debian.org for "debian packages" [01:18] i was going to complain too [01:18] lol [01:19] misslecommander: What you are experiencing is not normal and we would like to help. What all has been added from outside our official repos, What scripts if any have been used to install things. [01:19] !backports [01:19] If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging [01:19] why do i have internet connectivity, yet, Network Manager reports i dont ? and how do i reinstall it so it works again ? apt-get ? add/remove ? [01:19] hello everyone! [01:19] i did nothing to the network for it to just die out of nowhere [01:19] misslecommander: what NIC chipset? did you ever edit you interfaces file by hand? [01:20] !hi | robthenoob [01:20] robthenoob: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [01:20] hey where should I install picasa on an amd64 machine and the installer is trying to install it to ~/picasa [01:20] when a person updates ubuntu, does that make the os even more stable? [01:20] * mneptok asked that about 15m ago [01:20] /usr/shared/bin [01:20] misslecommander: Not just the network... What you are experiencing is not normal and we would like to help. What ALL has been added from outside our official repos, What scripts if any have been used to install things. [01:20] aMSN was a pain to get to the new version ... but i manages ... flithpig - cheers [01:20] mary-kate: mostly yes [01:20] which I do not want, and synaptic has no entry for it [01:20] hello, I have a dual boot pc, where can I change what OS boots by default? [01:20] flithpig , amsn cheers [01:20] so if i don't update, i'm asking for trouble? [01:21] I looked in boot but couldn't find an appropriate file [01:21] is this channel moderated by ubuntu corp? like, it is an official channel or just community of knowledgable linux users? [01:21] mary-kate: are you talking about the security updates? [01:21] filthpig .... ill spell it right eventually :) thanks for the hlp [01:21] yes [01:21] any of it [01:21] anderswc: /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:21] anderswc: /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:21] anderswc: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [01:21] mneptok : yes i did edit interfaces file, i backed it up, and restored the backup. [01:21] but i had restarted since then, all was working beautiful, till last restart, then it decise it will no longer work [01:21] misslecommander: that's why you have problems [01:21] mary-kate: yes, you are leaving your system vulnerable to potential attacks and buggy apps [01:21] mary-kate: the updates you get notified of now and then are security or critical bug fixes, definitely important to do [01:21] What was the command to change window manager thru terminal. I have no GUI. [01:22] ok [01:22] i do those when i'm notified [01:22] misslecommander: NM will immmediately stop doing anything once it detects a user has made manual modifications to the ir interfaces file. so Don't Do That. [01:22] mary-kate: ALWAYS update yr machine [01:22] jack_sparrow : i did no scripts, i merely changed my monitor refresh rate, and restarted, then i come back an Knetw Man and Network Man both died [01:22] willscarlet^^, you can use your tab-key for nick autocompletion on most irc clients ;) Anyway, glad you liked amsn, it' s been my client of choice for a good while, although I'm currently using Pidgin [01:22] hello, I should export Proxy-configurations to connect from a proxy at work, I wrote some lines too in /etc/profile to do this. Now I removed the lines from /etc/profile but apt-get still use the proxy-configuration!! I want now just to desactive the proxy-configuration and go back to direct internet connection. can someone help please? [01:22] FluxD: create a .xsession file in your directory and put whatever windowmanager you want in it [01:23] yo yo [01:23] robthenoob: some people here are Canonical employees, yes. [01:23] filthpig, gaim was ok while i didnt need a cam .... amsn is more configurable too [01:23] can some one help me? [01:23] whats pidgin .... any good ? [01:23] menptok : ok, i can understand that, but why it didnt it stop failing after the first mod, and 2 restarts later it decides to die ? [01:23] misslecommander: I'm confused, you tried changing your refresh rate in your /etc/network/interfaces file? [01:23] pidgin is gaim renamed [01:23] menptok : i will remove both Knet and Net Man, then i take it resinstall [01:24] will ifup/down still work though ? [01:24] I'm probably all backwards on it now. [01:24] hey where should I install picasa on an amd64 machine and the installer is trying to install it to ~/picasa [01:24] can someone help me with my perl [01:24] willscarlet^^, indeed. I'd like to see the goodness from amsn (easy adding smilies, webcam support etc) added to the stability and smoothness of pidgin, though [01:25] MSCbreak : no, i did that hours ago, mod the interfaces file, i restarted since then, then i just changed my monitor refresh, and restarted once again, i come back and both died [01:25] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51957/ <--- perl problem been working on it for days please help [01:25] hello, I just installed ubuntu and I've got this atheros card that wont even show up in network manager: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5418 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [01:25] adub: #perl? [01:25] slliness: that might be a good choice then... if you wanted everyone to access it perhaps /opt [01:25] can anybody suggest a soliutin please? [01:25] i did nothing to netowrk for it to die like that, i restarted plenty of times since then with no problems, i change my refresh rate for monitor, and all goes loose [01:26] knighta: did you enable it in Restricted Drivers Manager? [01:26] can somebody help me get my flash working i installed gnash but that doesnt work [01:26] misslecommander: Ahh, gotcha. Yes, ifup/down work independent of the network manager. By that I mean you can configure a network in linux without any gui tools. [01:26] anyhow what spt_get i need to re-install Network Manager? thats prob all i need to know [01:26] !flash > jay-oh-en-2-3-4 [01:26] cosmodad i get the same error as above the first section of my past [01:26] paste [01:26] astro76, there will be only one user on the machine but I did that b4 and they deleted the executable for gearth [01:27] astro76: I believe so: ii linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-3-generic 2.6.24.4-3.10 [01:27] MCSbreaker, yes, i know how to use it, but i like to use the gui if possible [01:27] slliness: what do you mean "they deleted the exectuable"? [01:27] /usr/bin/perl: line 15: use: command not found <--- cosmodad the error portion of that pastebin begins with that when i type #perl [01:27] i think somewhat i wrote over my perl install or something like i wrote over my /usr/bin/perl file [01:27] i dont know how [01:27] adub: you have to start your perl script by something like #!/usr/bin/perl, or use perl to call it. [01:28] adub: search for a perl programming channel [01:28] misslecommander: Agreed, but just know that they are separate and to to answer your question, ifconfig will work without it. [01:28] neto been in there [01:28] astro76, automatix installed the binary executable for google earth and the install folder in ~/ and they deleted it while house cleaning [01:28] ~ [01:28] adub: and I was pointing out that #perl is the place to ask these questions. [01:28] one guy just said i had something screwy going on [01:28] !automatix | slliness [01:28] slliness: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [01:28] heya how is command for updates ssh? [01:28] MCSbreaker ok, i will post pastbin, i keep logs of what i change and do [01:28] slliness: I am not at all surprised that automatix does rediculous things, but gearth and picassa are easy enough to install themselves [01:28] apt-get install openssh-server [01:29] hello, I should export Proxy-configurations to connect from a proxy at work, I wrote some lines too in /etc/profile to do this. Now I removed the lines from /etc/profile but apt-get still use the proxy-configuration!! I want now just to desactive the proxy-configuration and go back to direct internet connection. can someone help please? [01:29] astro76, just is easier when not around machine [01:29] tenks [01:29] slliness: automatix is baaad news [01:29] slliness: well I recommend reading that link and keep in mind we don't support systems which have used it [01:29] and totally unsupported here [01:29] astro76, is there a reason picasa is not in synaptic for amd64? [01:29] aside from being 32bit [01:30] slliness: not Free software [01:30] slliness: it's not in any repo, only google distributes it afaik [01:30] if I just tared my home directory, would that include all the hidden files too? [01:30] 32bit software is not in 64bit repos [01:30] oh right [01:30] misslecommander: When it goes crazy, what does ifconfig show? does it confirm what network manager is telling you? [01:30] Zermelo: tar -tvf |grep /. or |grep .dotfile to check [01:30] hi, i'm having a pretty severe problem with OpenOffice. when i create a new file and try to save it, it crashes and goes to a document recovery dialog. [01:30] slliness: I even wrote this handy page on installing it ;) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth [01:30] MCSbreaker : can you look at my pastebin ? i make logs of nearly everything i do [01:31] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52359/ [01:31] but if i already have an existing document, i can save it just fine. [01:31] that will show what i did, but that was hours agao and 2 restarts, then it decides it wants to die on me [01:31] so you think setting the installer to /opt would be good a good choice will it ask where to install the executable? [01:31] "Set an environment variable named JRE_HOME to the pathname of [01:31] the directory into which you installed the JRE" Hey anybody knows where I can set the variables... [01:32] misslecommander: sudo /etc/network/interfaces [01:32] MCSbreaker : ifconfig shows proper [01:32] m2rt: how did you install java? [01:32] !java [01:32] To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [01:32] aww nice bot. thanks [01:32] astro76, I need some help with this VNC :/ [01:33] ubotu: uninstall the sun.com binary FIRST [01:33] erawfish: ubotu is a bot [01:33] MCSbreaker i think i keep pretty good logs, and i backup all files, just in case. [01:34] misslecommander: Alright, so are you able to run 'sudo cp /home/default/Desktop/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces' ? [01:34] slliness: I really don't know about picasa, I do know it uses wine somehow (wheras google earth is native) so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it [01:34] anyone know how to get a linksys wireless usb adapter working on ubuntu 7.10? i had it working on 6.06 then when i upgraded to 7.10 it wouldnt work [01:34] slliness: I'm thinking maybe it needs to write to it's directory [01:34] misslecommander: Good habit to be in, I do the same as I inevitably bork something on a regular basis. [01:34] MCSbreak : yes, i did backup from desktop too [01:34] luchador: How did you upgrade? [01:35] FluxD: I haven't done vnc for awhile but ask the channel and see if anyone can help ;) [01:35] MCSbrekaer, can i just uninstall both, then reinstall both ? or is it forever messed up ? [01:35] astro76, I asked many times no one seems to know [01:35] what's the command for four in a row? [01:35] misslecommander: And you did not get the permission denied? Were you able to edit the interfaces file and just stick in the defaults? [01:36] i completely installed it [01:36] whiped the partition [01:36] filthpig, would you reccomend pidgin over gaim ? [01:36] pidgin > gaim ANY DAY [01:36] :) [01:36] ryanakca: /usr/games/gnect is the path and name [01:36] done [01:36] Starnestommy: I know but you never met my fat finger before apparently ;) [01:36] FluxD: what are you trying to accomplish ultimately? why do you need to vnc to your server? [01:36] MCSbreaker : the interfaces file is retruned to its original , i restarted once again to see if it fixed itm,, but it didnt [01:36] Jack_Sparrow: thanks :D [01:36] np [01:36] anyone know? ive been asking all day lol [01:36] misslecommander: No, you can reinstall it. try this: 'apt-get --reinstall install network-manager-gnome' [01:37] willscarlet^^, it's the same thing, just a new name [01:37] perfect [01:37] ok good ppls... i'm ghost [01:37] luchador: what chip is in it? [01:37] luchador, which model is your usb adapter? [01:37] I'm wiping Windows off of my system! Woo! [01:37] its linksys wusbg54g version 4 [01:37] i wiped windows vista off a new machine i bought [01:37] and put UBUNTU on [01:37] astro76, ok basically it has no gui (or it had twm) so I installed ubuntu-desktop pakage then I setup VNC. I just want a server that looks like default desktop install [01:38] that's the only sane thing to do mary-kate [01:38] is there a generic package for developer tools? eg compiler, gawk, linker, etc [01:38] it worked on 6.06 [01:38] wusb54gC, or wusb54g ? I have the C-edition and it works...sorta [01:38] me too mary-kate :D [01:38] g [01:38] gmoore: 'build-essential' [01:38] i just did it all from terminal [01:38] using ifconfig and stuff [01:38] i was going to try vista [01:38] who knows about gameguard [01:38] can anybody suggest a web-based accounting program in Ubuntu [01:38] but heard bad bad crap about it [01:38] but it wont work in 7.10 [01:38] hm [01:38] weird [01:38] never seems to accept the dhcpoffer [01:38] I have a 250 gb hard drive. I'm creating a 2 gb swap partition. I want a partition for /, and the rest to go to /home. About how big should I make my root partition? [01:39] mine wouldn't work until 7.10 :D [01:39] MCSbreaker: thanks [01:39] mary-kate: not really sure how bad iti s, but its a resource hog..., you need at least 2gigs of ram. [01:39] luchador: How did you upgrade did you go through all versions or one big jump [01:39] mary-kate: I've run it at work for a good eight months, I'm not a big fan. === Ttech2 is now known as Ttech [01:39] one big jump [01:39] gmoore: np [01:39] a 7.10 iso [01:39] lol [01:39] complete new install [01:39] i prefer XP over vista [01:39] it will scan for neighboring networks so i know its working [01:39] but i cant connect [01:39] mary-kate, who doesn't ;) [01:39] but, ubuntu over XP [01:40] I use Ubuntu for almost all that I do. Just trying to get Napster to work on this, and goom-bye Windows... [01:40] i switched to ubuntu like a week ago [01:40] love it so much [01:40] MSCbreaker : ok i did that, all looked to go, reinstalled, going to try restart now [01:40] never going back [01:40] lol napster is still working? [01:40] is a Napster subscriber [01:40] luchador, sounds like the problem I had before. I could find the networks but not connect, it kept spinning on the WEP-key [01:41] !wep [01:41] WEP is totally insecure, don't use it, the full Wireless Documentation for Ubuntu can be found at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:41] When I am trying to ./configure tomboy-reminder-0.9 i get an error that says: configure: error: Can't find "mcs", the mono compiler in your PATH. How do I fix this? [01:41] o.O [01:41] I want to minimize the size of my root partition to maxamize space for a /home partition. I haev a 250 gb hard drive, about how big should I make the / partition? [01:41] we put WEP on our router, since then, it's going FASTER for connection [01:41] huh [01:41] luchador: tell your friends and coworkers about ubuntu, and share a livecd with them so they can try it out [01:41] so i need to use a diff encryption? [01:41] I'm on the live cd right now. [01:41] !find mcs | kenan [01:41] kenan: Found: libxfce4mcs-client3, libxfce4mcs-dev, libxfce4mcs-manager3, xfce4-mcs-manager, xfce4-mcs-manager-dev (and 8 others) [01:41] i am [01:41] im burning copies and giving em out [01:41] kenan: nope, not that one [01:42] hmmm [01:42] i should get into that [01:42] corinth: I'd probably make it 20 GB, which will give you plenty of room [01:42] i have TONS of copies of ubuntu, lol [01:42] heh [01:42] soooo [01:42] astro76: Thanks dude. [01:42] any workarounds for my adapter? [01:42] luchador, do you get asked for the WEP/WPA-key when you're trying to connect? [01:42] !enter @ luchador [01:42] kenan: you need mono-mcs [01:42] This is one anvil-solid OS... [01:42] Bah, used to the suse channel. Heh. [01:42] yes [01:42] luchador: What adapter are you using.. model too if you have it [01:42] but im doing it from terminal [01:43] ahh found it in synaptic, thanks [01:43] linksys wireless usb adapter wusb54g [01:43] version 4 [01:43] !return @ luchador [01:43] ? [01:43] use @? [01:43] luchador, have you tried changing the key type? The default is "passphrase", but you also have "hex" and "ascii" [01:43] on 6.06 i used ifconfig and sudo iwlist wlan1 scanning etc [01:43] filthpig: Thanks for looking after him [01:43] yeah its a hex [01:44] luchador: isn't it iwconfig ? [01:44] diff commands for diff stuff [01:44] Hi [01:44] i used this guide http://www.stoltenow.com/archives/2006/12/ubuntu_configur.html [01:44] tracker 0.6.3 in gutsy is so full of bugs, its currently using over 2gb ram on my system it cant be normal [01:44] used a hex on my wireless setup b4 I went wired [01:44] luchador, so you've selected hex in the dropdown menu too? [01:44] yes [01:45] hmm [01:45] I'm trying to get net send (message command in samba) set up correctly. I don't really know what to do. I've tried something I found off the web but its not working.

Is it on fiesty? [01:47] ug. theres a lot of problems === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:47] is there a way to run a program so that it starts at a certain *nice* level [01:47] 7.04 ... the one before gutsy [01:47] you all type fast [01:48] type? [01:48] we upload! [01:48] m2rt: try this command: 'export JRE_HOME=/PATHTOJAVA' [01:48] willscarlet^^: sudo apt-get build-dep gaim will get you most if not all the deps you will need [01:48] SOMEthing [01:48] i.e. so you don't have to *renice* it afterwards [01:48] so anyone know? [01:48] ally_xoxo: Were you able to set up the themes? [01:48] well, I'm off [01:48] m2rt: That's only temporary, but it sets it. If it works, we can set it up to be permanent. [01:48] gonna try a few things [01:48] MCSbreak : that worked ! the Network Manager is now functional once again [01:49] nevermind [01:49] nice does that [01:49] nickrud, thanks ;) [01:49] duh [01:49] MCSbreaker : thank you [01:49] I'm trying to get net send (message command in samba) set up correctly. I don't really know what to do. I've tried something I found off the web but its not working. [01:49] wich flash player version do you advice me? latest one is buggy and slow as hell [01:50] o is Flash player stable yet, Aagain? [01:50] the flash is OK in repos? [01:50] flash player has been stable === amidaniel is now known as amidaniel|away [01:50] misslecommander: Nice! Glad I could be of help. =) [01:50] ubuntu isn't stable [01:50] sic [01:50] flashplayer works with most linux distros [01:50] MCSbreaker : there was one thing i noticed when that happened -> the icon for XChat had been missing, now its back [01:50] Humanzy: Please avoid saying things like that in here [01:51] s'OK thats not what i use my linux box for Anyway [01:51] MCSbreaker could XChat be responsible for breaking NetMan ? [01:51] Why my gutsy tries to modprobe /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-rt/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda~ntel.ko, instead /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-rt/kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda~ntel.ko, How can I correct that isue? [01:51] I always install flash from Adobe, but the latest version for linux just SUCKS, is slow and crashes firefox all the time [01:51] MCSbreaker : its been the only thing other than FirFox that i been running when it happened [01:51] I got a new module version to be installed [01:51] but did Adobe fix that thihgn? [01:51] Could someone link or send me a 9.48 version [01:52] maybe they still didnt fix that LOL. [01:52] ? [01:52] it crashes in windows to, adobe/macromedia isnt stable :P [01:52] it used a b top8ic of This channel [01:52] misslecommander: Heh, weirdness. I would guess not, but I definitely can't say for sure. Something was fubar that the reinstall got though. [01:52] what is the command to unlock apt-get [01:52] should a computer POST without a processor? === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFCLI [01:52] HellMind: depelte the extaneous module and run sudo depmod -a [01:52] !flashissues [01:52] MCSbreaker : i had Knet Installed and running as well, so i suppose it may have been that as well [01:52] 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. [01:52] "dont install flash" said This channel [01:52] Well now it sent the message from my linux system to win xp one, but I dont receive any messages, this is my message command line in smb.conf message command = /bin/sh -c 'gedit %s;rm %s' & and I also get this message when doign smbclient -M host params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file [01:52] Is my message command wrong? :S [01:52] MCSbreaker can i use that "reinsta;;" for most any package ? [01:52] misslecommander: Yeah, I saw that interfaces had been touched by knet. It's possible. [01:52] ty Jack [01:52] erawfish: I did but when i reboot it tries to mod probe that old module [01:53] ilikebuntu000: See what the bot said.. We suggest you dont.... but still tell you how to do it [01:53] misslecommander: Yep, that command will work to reinstall most any package. [01:53] HellMind: even with depmod? I don't think so [01:53] I think I will copy and overwrite the old module with the one on the kernel directory [01:53] MCSbreaker : thank you so much, i know i may complain, but its SO SO frustrating when i do nothing and things just fail. sorry [01:53] I did depmod -a! [01:53] yeah im fine until adobe figures out how to get flash to run like everything else runs then [01:54] Then ill install 4 tux [01:54] HellMind: with sudo?

There's a few ways to do it. The first is to do something like 'ps -eaf | grep gnome-panel' That will give the pid. Else, the command 'killall gnome-panel' will kill all processes matching that name [02:35] erawfish: Thanks for the tip. I got it. the file was /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. It needed a little tweak. [02:35] HellMind, try uname -a [02:35] HellMind: ask on #ubuntu+1 [02:35] nickrud how can I find out how to do that? [02:35] icesword: I could try reboot too [02:35] dogson, where is modules.conf? [02:35] yes ZionPsyfer. but I think I made a mistake with editing.

[02:35] robdig...thanks for the help [02:36] m2rt: No worries, either way works. I just used gedit for ease of use. If you're comfortable in emacs/vi, etc. Then it's all good.

[02:50] anyone knows how to put a password on open thunderbird? if is there any plugin or conf? [02:50] jrib: I've never been able to make hostap or orinoco_pci (the two drivers that are said to work with my wireless card) work [02:50] thanks [02:50] davidthedrake: which is just a symlink to nano on ubuntu :) [02:50] arken_:: do you have all the repositories enabled? [02:50] arken_, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-avant-window-navigator-awn-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html [02:50] !wireless > doctordevice (read the private message from ubotu) [02:50] brophat-> nope [02:50] arken_:: oh wait.. you have to add a repo .. i think [02:50] jrib, is it really? Ha... nice. [02:51] Where does the inode store permissions? [02:51] bkar, why dont you just help him [02:51] doctordevice: those docs are usually pretty good. I don't know anything about wireless though [02:51] !dvd [02:51] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [02:51] jrib, wasn't aware of that. You learn something new everyday. [02:51] bkar so how can I find out the ip address of my dsl router? [02:51] Jay-Oh-En-> i dont know what the issue is yet, [02:51] m2rt: Well then, if it's going to be a pain then let's do this. Copy that line, and paste into a terminal and hit enter. Make sure it's kosher by doing the echo $JRE_HOME. If it works, then do a 'gedit ~/.bashrc' and paste in at the end and save. [02:51] brophat-> are you connected to it yet? [02:51] arken_:: the link davidthedrake gave you will tell you what to do .. sorry i forgot you had to add some repo's [02:51] bkar yes I am connected to it [02:51] For some reason, I cannot rename files on my desktop, like, there is no karat on the file name, it highlights the name to be renamed, I just can't type anything into the rename box [02:52] hi guys [02:52] brophat what is your ip address on your pc? i'll guess your router's ip address [02:52] !dvd > siriusnova [02:52] where can i find the old unix "strings" package? [02:52] Jay - did that already [02:52] it doesn't work [02:52] thought it was in all ubuntu unix os's [02:52] bkar 192.168.1.65 [02:52] slashzul: old? strings is part of ubuntu [02:53] brophat-> most likely your router will be 192.168.1.1 , ping this ip address to confirm [02:53] Yea... AWN is pretty much the pwn. [02:53] hey is there a live cd of ubuntu for ps3? and where? [02:53] bkar you right, but... is rarely i use this chat... and if you need help, and somebody say go to the google... god... [02:53] siriusnova, hmm well im not sure then usually when my friends have problems with that i just follows those steps and it works siriusnova are you sure you read all the way [02:53] yep [02:53] slashzul part of binutils [02:54] bkar ping says that ip address is unreachable [02:54] ezpinha-> but do not complain other people are stupid, they just may be busy at the moment, be patient [02:54] siriusnova, ill look up your problem [02:54] For some reason, I cannot rename files on my desktop, like, there is no karat on the file name, it highlights the name to be renamed, I just can't type anything into the rename box [02:54] linux rocks! [02:54] speaking of strings.. is there anyway i can get the "inverse" output of the 'strings' command or is there another command that will do something similar? :) [02:54] bkar guess again hahaha [02:54] brophat 191.168.1.254 [02:54] locate strings | locate: /var/locatedb no such file [02:55] Omegamecenti : right click choose properties and change name [02:55] what's the .deb that installs postgresql? (apt-cache search returns about 1000 hits...) [02:55] siriusnova, try installing vlc "sudo apt-get install vlc" then see if that works if it does i have a few other things up my sleeve [02:55] brophat if not that, return your router back to the vendor..hehehe [02:55] hey is there a live cd of ubuntu for ps3? and where? [02:55] finally....I found it....http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/SurroundSound [02:55] Jay - did that already [02:55] it goes green with vlc, mplayer and xine [02:55] ZionPsyfer you are the man!!!! it worked!!! many thanks!!! in windows I would have been yelled at.. thanks !!! take care [02:55] it just gives me a blank green screen [02:55] for those of you with similar questions [02:55] siriusnova, ok hold on [02:56] m2rt: Glad we got it going! Have a good one. =) [02:56] sorry for reposting but channel moves so fast [02:56] bkar ping is hanging [02:56] brophat try 'route' [02:56] ezpinha-> what is the problem you have? lets resolve it [02:56] brophat hangs? can you pastebin your route -n results please [02:56] slashzul: should be in /usr/bin. before you can use locate, you have to run updatedb [02:57] Ok. I installed AWN, but nothing happens when I execute it. [02:57] where can i find the old unix "strings" package? [02:57] bkar is that pastebin.net ? [02:57] !pt|ezpinha [02:57] ezpinha: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:57] its not a default install package [02:57] brophat-> whichever is convenient pastebin site [02:57] i installed 7.10 server [02:57] i'm having problems with gnome, so I will be gone a while. [02:57] hi, i have wireless connection with Microsoft Windows XP, in Ubuntu i can't connect to the exact same network, i get "no default gateway", what can i do ? [02:57] hi, we upgraded our OOo on Feisty to from 2.2 to 2.3, but we haven't able to get the quickstarter work again, any help please [02:57] bkar you tink 32mb of ram, a 3gb in hard drive and a PentiumMMX 133Mhz will work with slackware? [02:58] DG19075 :P [02:58] siriusnova, did you install gstreamer extra plugins [02:58] ezpinha, should work [02:58] For some reason, I cannot rename files on my desktop, like, there is no karat on the file name, it highlights the name to be renamed, I just can't type anything into the rename box [02:58] ezpinha-> i am not familiar with slackware, but if i have to guess, its possible, [02:58] Ok. I installed AWN, but nothing happens when I execute it. [02:58] * Jay-Oh-En has to leave :[ brb [02:58] arken_, You have to run AWN before you run the manager. [02:58] anyone know why ignore on pidgin doest work [02:58] bkar http://pastebin.com/m3a8ab883 [02:58] slashzul: sudo apt-get install binutils [02:58] Anyone? [02:59] Nice... Tanks [02:59] Then how do I "run it" [02:59] unagi, did the plugins not work [02:59] Omegacenti, run sudo rename in a terminal window see if it works [02:59] well i installed them but i dont know what im suppose to do after i enable it [02:59] arken_, try ALT+F2, then enter: avant-window-navigator & [02:59] mademoisl: Are you associating with the AP? Are you getting an ip address? [02:59] arken_:: i created a launcher and put it in the top toolbar.. [02:59] bkar found it [02:59] You also might wanna hide your bottom bar [02:59] jtt: It doesn't seem to be a rename problem. [02:59] brophat-> per your paste, its 192.168.1.254 but it hangs? what exactly kind of message you get? [02:59] could someone please help me with my 8600gt [02:59] arken_:: and yes i did get rid of my bottom toolbar after i had avant up and running [02:59] brophat-> you have found it? way cool [02:59] It blinks in the top right corner and then nothing happens. [03:00] jtt: I think it is because I recently started using SCIM. [03:00] bkar it does not matter anymore because I got my router webpage up [03:00] i can try ping again though [03:00] omega what is scim [03:00] ZionPsyfer i thik so, how can i check that ? [03:00] Is there an IRC channel to discuss GNOME themes? I have a theme that I want to run with Creamy Classic controls, but the window bar cumes up charcoal grey sted light brown... [03:00] brophat-> which brand of AP you use? === arooni-mobile is now known as arooni [03:00] bkar ping is now giving me results, what is AP? [03:00] mademoisl: You know how to get into your routers configuration webpage? Are you able to do so? [03:01] :] [03:01] brophat access point sometimes its multi function access point/router/hub/switch [03:01] bkar i just have a 2wire router [03:01] jtt: Easier to identify if someone has said something to me if you just autocomplete my name, it is the application needed to enter different inputs such as japanese characters. [03:01] bkar wireless router [03:01] ZionPsyfer, no, the router is someone else's, i have no acces to it [03:02] brophat but it is also functioning are your access point.. [03:02] Omegacenti: hey cool, pidgin has autocomplete, thanks for pointing that out!!! [03:02] no problem danbhfive :) [03:02] brophat att and or yahoo uses 2wire wireless ap/router/hub [03:02] mademoisl: Alright, try this: bring up a terminal and type: ifconfig [03:02] Omegacenti, are you trying to rename a file in japanese? [03:02] I'm trying to OC my AMD 2.4ghz chip. In the BIOS, it shows 200MHz with a 12 multiplyer. [03:02] bkar yeah I am on ATT [03:02] anyone here have an EEE PC ? [03:02] ZionPsyfer i also get SET failed on device ath0 ; invalid argument....ok [03:03] jtt: no. However, I have need of both english inputs and japanese inputs. [03:03] I changed it to 270MHz and kept the 12 multiplier. [03:03] bkar but everything is ok now [03:03] brophat okay way cool [03:03] I can ping it, and i got the router setup webpage up [03:03] bkar yeah, one less thing to be confused about [03:03] so ti should be 3.24 or w/e, but it still shows in my os as 2.4 ghz [03:03] ?? [03:03] ZionPsyfe ok ifconfig gives wifi0, (no ath0 there) [03:03] omega [03:04] jtt: I am going to try and follow htis bug report guide, the only reason I am hesitant on it is it seems to be for a slightly older distro [03:04] bkar thanks for the help [03:04] brophat dont worry about sharing your ap with your neighbors, they will be happy you are sharing [03:04] Omegacenti, then i still say try renaming the file in terminal window to see if it works [03:04] Is it still OCed, even wif ti doesnt say so [03:04] jtt: It works, just not on the desktop [03:04] bkar i think my ap has a password on it no? [03:04] brophat np, btw my neighbor and I share an ap.. no problem [03:04] mademoisl: Is there an ip address for the wifi0? it should say something like 'inet addr:192.168.0.2' or something similar. [03:05] ZionPsyfe sorry i DO have an entry ath0 in ifconfig [03:05] brophat normally it has to access att yes. [03:05] i guess i don't care how used it as long as it does not slow me down [03:05] Omegacenti, ok cant help you there [03:05] comes up as wlan0 on mine, with ip addy of 192.168.x.x [03:05] ZionPsyfer wifi0 has only HWaddr [03:06] is there a way in xchat-gnome to connect to 2+ servers at once? [03:06] ZionPsyfer so does ath0 [03:06] nice, thanks misslecommander. =) That helps. [03:06] Is there a UI for managing which services run in which runlevel? Or do Ubuntu people just modify the script names in /etc/init.d? [03:06] ZionPsyfer had alot of practice :) [03:07] does anyone know if a precompiled version of PHP exists for Ubuntu? [03:07] Consty : you can type something like "/join #anotherchannel" without quotes of course [03:07] levander: sysv-rc-conf is one I know of [03:07] misslecommander: server, not channel [03:07] mademoisl: Hmmmm, alright. Let's try this. In your top panel, bring up the network manager under the System ->Administration->Network menus. [03:07] jrib: cool, i'll look into it [03:07] in my applications menu my add/remove button i accidently deleted it from the edit menus option [03:07] where is that program at so i can get it back [03:08] like if i go to add new [03:08] if i type /server foo.bar.net, it disconnects me from bar.foo.net [03:08] ZionPsyfer can i start that from the commandline? i am on fluxbox [03:08] ConstyXIV : on the windows version i can, i dont see it on the linux version [03:08] ConstyXIV, what are you using for irc [03:08] levander, Boot-Up Manager is a graphical tool to allow easy configuration of init services in user and system runlevels, as far as changing Start/Stop services priority. [03:08] soldats: xchat (gnome) [03:08] levander, the package is called "bum" [03:08] ConstyXIV, do you have two seperate server tabs [03:09] ConstyXIV : type "/help" list of commands [03:09] moidekar: okay, now i have no idea which to use... [03:09] ZionPsyfer ok, i opened system> administration> networking [03:09] mademoisl: Yep, 'gksu network-admin' [03:09] levander: what are you trying to accomplish? [03:09] levander, it's probably as easy as using synaptic to install both, then try out and see which you prefer :-) FOSS has a lot of choices :-) [03:09] i dont know if them commands are for this server or the xchat program [03:10] can anyone tell me if a precompiled php package exists? [03:10] anderswc: yes [03:10] what's it called? [03:10] !lamp > anderswc (read the private message from ubotu) [03:10] mademoisl: Alright, is the wireless card enabled ( it should have a check in the checkbox next to it). If it does, click on it, and click the Properties button [03:10] !info php5 | anderswc [03:10] anderswc: php5: server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (meta-package). In component main, is optional. Version 5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3 (gutsy), package size 1 kB, installed size 20 kB [03:11] moidekar: Yeah, okay. Thanks. [03:11] ZionPsyfer it is not enabled here, but i nust say that it worked fine before, i used "wlassistant" [03:11] Where are the wireless passwords stored? [03:11] jrib: Search up for what I'm trying to accomplish. [03:11] yes, Zion, by default mine was unchecked, so the wifi card wasnt enabled. not sure all systems start out like that, but, mine did [03:12] levander: I meant: "be more specific" [03:12] mademoisl: heh, maybe wlanassistant disabled it? I'm only guessing here. But try enabling it and going into it's properties. [03:12] on my applications menu in ubuntu i accidently deleted the add/remove programs option at the bottom of the menu [03:12] how can i get that option back [03:12] ZionPsyfer ok in there now... [03:12] misslecommander: Yep, mine did as well. My system shows it as eth1 too though, so it's definitely different than other setups. [03:12] jrib, does LAMP install on 7.10 the same as 7.04? [03:12] hey whats the deal with automatix..is that something folks do or dont want us to install? [03:13] mademoisl: Is roaming mode disabled? I've had problems associating with APs with it enabled. [03:13] anderswc: yes, probably [03:13] adub: system->preferences->main menu [03:13] ok [03:13] !automatix > aoirthoir (aoirthoir, see the private message from Ubotu) [03:13] ZionPsyfer how do i see that ? [03:13] wlan0 it will say something like enabling device or something close, once you set the ssid and passphrase [03:13] adub right mouse click on applications menu will appear it will be evident how to readd it [03:14] no like it is deleted out of that menu [03:14] ljl thats what I thought ok [03:14] you see [03:14] when i bring up applications menu i right clicked and deleted it from even there [03:14] so like now it is gone [03:14] mademoisl: At the top of my preferences box that opens up, there is a checkbox for roaming mode. I can also select the SSID to connect to and whether to use DHCP/static ip. You'll probably want DHCP, and you'll pick your SSID . [03:14] adub out of the main menu that appears with all the choices? [03:15] ZionPsyfer : roaming will connect to the strongest signal, so 95% of the time that will work, but if there is a passphrase set, it will likely not work [03:15] ZionPsyfer i dont have a setting for roaming mode in network-admin [03:16] ConstyXIV: I'm fine with X-chat (a multiplatform IRC Client)... not the gnome version. Amirc style... [03:16] misslecommander: Good to know! Mine never worked for me. [03:16] Wireless? [03:16] jtt no luck man its not in that menu in the edit menu [03:16] i accidently right clicked and deleted it from there by accident [03:16] can anyone point me a good source for graphics card problems. recently i tried installing the restricted drivers. After the installation, i rebooted. Then right after the loading screen, my monitor went blank and the error message "No input signal go to power save" [03:16] mademoisl: It won't show up in network-admin. Left click on your wireless card in the list of cards in network-admin, then click on the Properties button. That will bring up the window I'm tlaking about. [03:16] ZionPsyfer : i thought mine wasnt working, till i seen what it was doing, nevermind being disabled from the start, i thought maybe the driver was bad [03:17] My Belkin USB wireless works 100% [03:17] roshan_, could it be that your monitor frewuencies arent correc [03:17] +t [03:17] ZionPsyfer i meqnt that window, no roaming mode entry there [03:17] adub that entry is somewhere in the .gnome2 or .metacity etc. [03:17] Howq do u find out the Server Address for ur channle in IRC Using Ubuntu>? [03:17] ZionPsyfer : i dont use the regular Network Manager now, i use Knetwork Manager, its somewhat easier to look at, but, you have to edit files for it to work right [03:17] !flash [03:17] adub not sure where is that the only ubuntu installation you have [03:17] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [03:17] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [03:18] soldats: i would get an out of range error then [03:18] jtt it is [03:18] roshan_, 0o i misread [03:18] i found that i had to stop the regular NetMan and run only one at a time, running both was horrible [03:18] mademoisl: Do you see the other settings? The spot to pick your ESSID, Password Type, Network Password, etc? [03:18] soldats: np, thx anyway :D [03:18] yes essid and pass [03:18] jtt heck its not needed i guess [03:18] i never really use it anyway [03:18] adub i was going to tell you to search the dot directorys if you had another ubuntu [03:19] misslecommander: hehe yes, but that bit us earlier. ;) At least I think it was what bit us. [03:19] adub not that important most of the time [03:19] Does Anyone Know? [03:19] mademoisl: Alright, if you click on the ESSID, does it bring up a list of wireless networks near you? [03:19] bkar I set up my port forwarding; you wanna tell me if you can get to my webpage? [03:19] Is there a way to set different wallpapers for dual monitors in Ubuntu Gutsy? [03:19] ZionPsyfer : yes it bit me hard, but i figured out why they both didnt work together, now this one works way better than the regular NetMan, just cant have both running [03:20] ZionPsyfer no [03:20] ZionPsyfer : i am new to linux, but not new to internetworking, but as far as linux is concerned, you will likely find much more accurate/detailed info from the vetrans of linux [03:20] ZionPsyfer wlassistant does see several wireless connecions though [03:22] brophat pretty pix i can see? [03:22] mademoisl: is this similar to what you're seeing? http://zionpsyfer.com/wirelessnetworksetup.png [03:22] bkar not yet [03:22] it is just a test page hahahaha [03:22] ZionPsyfer yes [03:22] ZionPsyfer : how long you been using linux ? [03:23] brophat okay beautiful ladies will do..hehe [03:23] but without the "enable roaming mode" [03:23] bkar go to http://192.168.1.65/ [03:23] hi, we upgraded our OOo on Feisty to from 2.2 to 2.3, but we haven't able to get the quickstarter work again, any help please? [03:23] tell me if it is workig [03:23] brophat-> that not routable from the internet..cant hit that [03:23] bkar what do you mean? [03:23] misslecommander: About nine years now. Not exclusively though. And my wireless coverage is spotty. I am ashamed to say I haven't read most of the documentation. Most of it is from experimenting. >.< [03:24] mademois : romaing mode doesnt work for me for some reason. [03:24] brophat try and get to my webserver at 192.168.10.25 and see how far you get [03:25] I'm trying to find any bugs related to ALSA in Ubuntu Gutsy all of a sudden causing any app that tries to use it, to hang. [03:25] ZionPsyfer : i will pastebin the interfaces file i use, to allow for Knetworking to be used, if you like. you do have to stop the Network Manager that comes default from starting up on login though. [03:25] poking around launchpad, but kinda tricky [03:25] bkar then how do I serve up web pages from my puter? [03:25] intel soundcard, and would also be interested in any alsa config reset info folks here might have [03:25] hello folks [03:25] people in this channel have been rather helpful in past with ubuntu reconfig [03:25] mademoisl: And if you click on the arrow to the right of the Network Name, does it bring up anything at all? [03:25] If Linux Isn't Successful, Why Is Everybody Talking About It? [03:26] misslecommander: Is it the same one you gave me earlier in pastebin? [03:26] brophat carefully, you have to do NAT'ing and port forwarding [03:26] applications hanging are, for example, mplayer in ao2_init - mplayer -ao oss works fine [03:26] can someone help me? I need help installing ClamAV to ubuntu [03:26] whos says it isn't successful, wenbro? [03:26] no, nothing [03:26] bkar I just did the port forwarding [03:26] sure the_sparky [03:26] If Linux Isn't Successful, Why Is Everybody Talking About It? [03:26] brophat read my last statement.. :) [03:26] did you try synaptic, search for clamav [03:26] ZionPsyfer, it may be included, as i was changing things. i will post a new one, with a reference URL to the site i got the info from [03:26] I have like 0 idea to really use ubuntu though [03:27] wenbo, dont troll [03:27] ZionPsyfer sorry, I'm giving up, several hours now this is getting me nowhere; on Windows it just works, so thats what i will use, thanks anyway, bye [03:27] wenbo: Do you have some tech support problem or just here to annoy us? [03:27] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/145747 <- perhaps this is my issue [03:27] same sound card [03:27] I need to compile and run java for a class that requires it be compiled in java. which packages should I install in ubuntu for this to work out okay? [03:27] unfortunately, this person has no solution [03:27] any recommended method for eclipse 3.3 installation? [03:27] mademoisl: K, it sounds like the network manager is giving you the problems. misslecommander had good luck with Knetworking manager. He can help you with that if you want to give it a shot. [03:27] bkar you said you have to do NAT'ing and port fowarding. I dunno what NAT'ing is [03:27] oh yes, there is a difference than the one i first posted [03:27] brophat: http://www.showmyip.com/ [03:27] the_sparky: what version of ubuntu are you using? [03:27] hm. maybe not same soundcard [03:27] jlsolutions: 7.10 [03:27] but identical symptoms anyway [03:27] misslecommander: Ahh, I'd be interested in taking a peek then. =) [03:28] I don't get it, I used to serve up webpages all the time [03:28] ZionPsyfer : yes it was, but i found it was because i was running bothe Knet and Netman [03:28] and is also intel [03:28] brophat thats network port and address translation..you have to read up on it via google [03:28] ok [03:28] i have these two little bars that show up on the lower right hand screen of my laptop [03:28] misslecommander: Yep, I remember. I was MCSbreaker. ;) [03:28] ZionPsyfer: to install Knetworking manager i need to be connected to the internet with ubuntu dont i ? [03:28] does the linux version of truecrypt have a GUI? [03:28] now if i reboot these two little bars go away [03:28] I need to compile and run java for a class that requires it be compiled in java. which packages should I install in ubuntu for this to work out okay? [03:28] the_sparky: System > Administration > Synaptic package manager [03:28] brophat you can still serve web pages, just not easily accessable from the wild internet side [03:28] but eventually will come back i thought it had to do something with my themes but i switch themes and still does same thing [03:28] mademoisl: If you are having trouble getting the software working on your Windows machine, then perhaps you will consider purchasing a computer with Ubuntu preinstalled from a vendor who will support the operating system. [03:28] Is totem-xine better than the gstreamer version? [03:28] bar code looking bars [03:29] bkar so things have changed? [03:29] hi guys [03:29] mademoisl: ...when you choose to buy your next computer. [03:29] anybody know why ubuntu isnt retaining my desktop settings? [03:29] corinth: Of my own experience I would say yes [03:29] ok so using ubuntu live cd, when I install the nvidia driver it asks for a bloody reboot, [03:29] jlsolutions: ok in that [03:29] bloody hell [03:29] genii: Why? [03:29] put clamav in the search box [03:29] bkar if the webpages are not easily accessible then what is the point? [03:29] I need to compile and run java for a class that requires it be compiled in java. which packages should I install in ubuntu for this to work out okay? [03:29] identical freeze point in mplayer [03:29] i spent hours last night getting dual-head to work.. finally got it working... & now its back to defaults [03:30] mademoisl: it might be on the Cd. tell you what, give me a minute to go through the docs for wlassistant. I'll see what I can see. [03:30] how do I find my computer's ip in the terminal? [03:30] corinth: gstreamer is more supported with the other ubuntu default applications [03:30] omega. i cant make most java-based prggies work with java 6.0 [03:30] VanDyke i think the nvidia driver is a not open source, and that said ubuntu annot make a live version.. [03:30] most accept 5.7 [03:30] anserswc: ifconfig [03:30] desertc, thanks for the advice, but ive been using linux for a long time already, its been fun messing around with it, getting stuff to work, but time after time NEW problems show up, i think its better to return to a system that just works, so i can do something more useful [03:30] anderswc, ipconfig [03:30] it is not open source [03:30] brophat eh people to weird stuff, people do things they like to do, but not necessarily easy access for everyone [03:30] I need help, can't connect to the internet [03:30] it is restricted module [03:30] corinth: The codecs for gstreamer are more convoluted to get installed right for instance, and xine has just been overall less of a headache [03:30] is it possible that my xorg.conf got write protected? [03:31] jlslutions: nothing came up [03:31] but gosh, that option shouldnt even be there then [03:31] bkar about a year ago I had an apache server going on my puter, and the access log had tons of hits [03:31] bkar so I don't get it [03:31] system > administration > software sources [03:31] * soldats has to scroll up now [03:31] :) [03:31] wease|: much easier to find out someone has talked to me if they autocomplete my name using tab. Now, I am sorry but I don't understand what you mean [03:31] I need to compile and run java for a class that requires it be compiled in java. which packages should I install in ubuntu for this to work out okay? [03:31] ZionPsyfer ok, ill wait a momet kind of you, but i will have to get some sleep soon too...

[03:32] ZionPsyfer *moment [03:32] mademoisl: Understandable. I'll be as quick as I can so you can go get some sleep. =) [03:32] corinth: Others may have other views, but I can only speak from my own experience [03:32] #Amig@s Doble click [03:32] wenbo, this is a support channel for ubuntu only [03:32] soldat: would that be in screen & graphics?

[03:35] bkar: that is for the runtime/interpreter, not the compiler, thanks though [03:35] Shuggle: I use vmware [03:36] brophat: then tell me the ip it lists there [03:36] #Amig@s [03:36] brophat your ip address given to you by you ISP is good, but it has to be translated or NAT'ed by your router [03:36] I need help, can't connect to the internet ... driver is installed......

[03:50] What is a good web authoring program (analogous to dreamweaver)? [03:50] but when i boot off hdd (fully updated ubuntu) no access to my server [03:50] Omegacenti-> also since you are learning to program, those are the things you learn on the way, that not all your target clients have a stable system [03:50] puhchi: You can use samba for that, although I don't know how to configure it. [03:50] !printers > puhchi (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [03:50] heya - what's the sftp gui client that comes shipped with ubuntu?

[03:51] Pici: Kompozer, is that for kde? [03:51] anderswc: K, and did everything install for you? [03:51] id really like to be able to access my windows network [03:51] Pici: or gnome? [03:51] soldats: or is there someone here that speacilizes in hard drives [03:51] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/145747/ <- anyone care to speculate on this ALSA issue? anyone? anything similar? Anyone here frustrated by stuff freezing? [03:51] whabo I know what you mean, I have a compaq/hp laptop too [03:51] doseryder: I don't know. [03:51] it doesnt even see the workgroup anymore [03:51] adrock358: There is a good example here http://www.cs278.org/blog/ubuntu-configuration/feisty-debootstrap-encrypted-install/ just ignore the parts about encryption [03:51] on windows i currently have winscp with notepad++ integrated as an editor... i would guess that ubuntu comes with something like that [03:51] ZionPsyfer: i will restart, and let you know of the outcome [03:51] ZionPsyfer, it didn't output anything [03:51] worked fine before i updated everything [03:51] mattholimeau-> i dont know myself, but if I were you, start exploring gnome-xxx just type gnome on a terminal and tab twice.. [03:51] there are some problems with 7.10 and HPs [03:51] just ran and then nothing [03:51] whats the name of that IM is it mercury? [03:51] misslecommander: Nah, don't go through the trouble now. We'll know how it turns out next time you need to. =) [03:52] is there a software firewall somewhere in here? [03:52] chewd, what did you update? [03:52] I made the mistake of upgrading when I should have left it alone [03:52] Nik_, you may pm me with your question [03:52] !info mercury [03:52] mercury: A new logic/functional programming language. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.11.0.rotd.20040511-5ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 4585 kB, installed size 20180 kB [03:52] i'm using ubuntu gutsy on my hp laptop and everything is fine.. [03:52] mattholimeau: nautilus, the default file browser, can be used as an sftp client [03:52] !firestarter | chewd [03:52] chewd: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [03:52] oh, i just ran the update manager & let it update everything it said needed updating [03:52] genii i have 7.1 is that okay? [03:52] soldats: how, through irc, if so i dont know how [03:52] AHHHHH i guess ill go and try some other distro .. Ubuntu isnt good for new HP notebooks :S [03:52] ANy thoughts? [03:52] my graphics were all screwy but my wireless card worked [03:52] lol [03:52] ZionPsyfer: yes, you are prob right, its working now, so i will do it later :) [03:52] any thought for an alternative distro that might work .. [03:52] miked, yes /msg soldats msghere [03:52] adrock358: Yes, I used that page as reference recently to install Gutsy [03:52] chewd, there is a firewall (iptables) in the kernel, and there is samba for windows (smb protocol) networking. the smb.conf file configs your windows workgroup et al [03:52] anderswc: if you go to your browser and type in: 127.0.0.1 does it give you the default apache page? [03:52] is there some way to disable the firewall altogether? i have a very trustworthy hardware firewall [03:52] no no, ubuntu is great for HPs, I would suggest using 7.04 [03:52] yeah [03:53] whabo ubuntu works very well in my new hp laptop [03:53] i think i screwed up my master boot record by installing windows xp, is there any way i can get it back? or install grub again or something? [03:53] chewd: did you install some firewall? [03:53] nope [03:53] there is no firewall by default [03:53] misslecommander: Hehe, you'd be cursing at me if you did and it broke something. ;) [03:53] and i'm using gutsy,, [03:53] chewd-> you dont normally disable iptables, its burned in to the kernel [03:53] so i probably updated to a more recent samba version [03:53] read the forums, it seems that certain HPs have problems with the latest version [03:53] brb [03:53] one that, unfortunately does not work as well as the older one that is on my live cd [03:53] ZionPsyfer: lol, really its working smoother than it ever has [03:53] chewd-> just leave it with no rules and accept policy as default [03:53] adrock358: As I said, just skip over the parts about the encrypted drive setup (unless you want that of course) [03:54] ZionPsyfer, I compiled and installed apache seperately though. [03:54] maybe i just keep it the way it is [03:54] but mine worked like a charm with Fiesty once I was able to build my driver for my wireless [03:54] okay [03:54] before I found out about Lamp [03:54] well guys it doesnt seem to work for me .. my graphics are a mess .. and compiz-fusion doesn work .. and my microphone isnt working ... not to mention my wireless card broadcom ... tried to get dfwrapper .. no luck .. [03:54] chewd: what is not working [03:54] when i boot off the live cd i can surf right into my windows network no probs.. no config necessary [03:54] I went and reinstalled 7.04 and am trying to get the wireless working again and am having no luck [03:54] but when i boot off my hdd, no dice === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk [03:54] whabo, what is your configuration ? [03:54] chewd: thats weird [03:54] anderswc: It's all good. First step is to get apache running if you do em separately. Is it working alright? [03:54] what hp laptop is it ? [03:54] yea i thought so too [03:54] i wonder what the diff is [03:55] my live cd is 7.10 [03:55] chewd, i didnt notice was samba installed [03:55] joeamined ... wireless config ???? its not recognizing my chip at all :( [03:55] ZionPsyfer, yeah it works fine, but simply spits out php code with php pages [03:55] ZionPsyfer: my curiousity gets the best of me sometimes, but i learn at the same time, it just frustrates me getting it back, but i back everything up, and keep good notes. you should see my notepad, pencil and paer jots [03:55] chewd: try setting up your workgroup name at least [03:55] chewd, but it worked on the hdd install until you did a system update off the panel nag applet? [03:55] soldat: isnt it part of the default install? [03:55] whabo, i mean the hp model [03:55] whabo, there is a program called ndiswrapper [03:55] (pavillion dv..) [03:55] joeamined : HP dv6636nr [03:55] mojo: im not sure... it may not have [03:56] misslecommander: Love it when that happens, I usually make a copy of my /etc when I get everything tweaked. Then I can copy the whole thing back if I bork it. That's bitten me once too though. ;) === Patrickva is now known as LogiMX [03:56] it helped me get mine working last time, but I can't remember how [03:56] Is there any firewall software available for Linux that works like ZoneAlarm? I am looking for something that will allow me to block Internet access to certain programs. [03:56] that's why I'm here [03:56] i don't have two computers genii [03:56] i troed that ratfinkkeyton No luck ... try it urself it wont work .. it might for few minutes but then its gone [03:56] fr500: gimme a sec... i think i set the workgroup ... but i need to double check that [03:56] adrock358: That example uses only one computer [03:56] ZionPsyfer: good idea, now that you say that, i will do that now. can i use that in Recovery Mode ? [03:56] anderswc: alright, so apache just isn't setup for it. let me check something really quick. [03:56] hey, where can I find good games for unu? [03:56] *ubu === w4ett-away is now known as w4ett [03:57] chewd, soldats may have a point, i seem to remember having to install samba. but that was like a couple months ago that i did the gutsy install, so i forget [03:57] ZionPsyfer, thanks [03:57] adrock358: Do everything it suggests but from the livecd [03:57] jrib: beautiful, thanks. i tried that before asking in here... just didn't bother think about syntax [03:57] hello how do we know where the printer is conected to? [03:57] anyone good with terminal? [03:57] oh.. lemme check add/remove then [03:57] dhude, you can check add/remove software in games category [03:57] okay [03:57] I need to know what drivers I have for a wireless card [03:57] chewd, if groups doesnt work look through launchpad because i recall some bugs/fixes for samba [03:57] misslecommander: Yeah, you can actually do it from a terminal without being in recovery. [03:57] cheeby, though you'd think if the livecd has it installed then the hd install would too [03:57] adrock358: (excepting the encrypted drive stuff unless you want that as well) [03:57] Is there any software that will allow me to block Internet to certain programs? [03:57] cheeby, sry, that was for chewd [03:57] ZionPsyfer: backing up now [03:58] anderswc: By the way, which version of php are you using? 4 or 5? [03:58] chewd, though you'd think if the livecd has it installed then the hd install would too [03:58] ZionPsyfer, 5 [03:58] mojo: no kidding [03:58] supaneko-> iptables [03:58] joeamined: where's add/remove software? [03:58] add/remove search shows nothing for samba [03:58] which tab would it be under? internet?? [03:58] bkar, that will block access for certain programs? Is there a GUI that will allow me to do that [03:58] dhude, applications menu, last entry [03:58] ? [03:58] Ill try PClinuxOS .. now lets see if i get it working with it .... I hope so .... :( other wise im back on winblows :( [03:59] chewd, it might not be called samba on the descriptions there... use synaptic under system/administration [03:59] whabo, try installing ndiswrapper [03:59] k [03:59] good afternoon. I installed ubuntu server x86_64... and I noticed, that I'm still only reading up 3.2 of my 4g ram.. Shouldn't I be all set under those circumstances? [03:59] supaneko-> maybe..dont know the name [03:59] chewd: go to system, administration, and shared folders [03:59] whabo, maybe your install cd is corrupt.. [03:59] that will let you install samba [03:59] ratfinkkeyton i did ... i had my wireless running for 5 minutes then i lost it [04:00] joeamined .. how is it corrupted??? [04:00] anderswc: Is the package 'libapache2-mod-php5' installed? [04:00] fr500: OOOH [04:00] sharing services are not installed! [04:00] I have a problem with gutsy on amd64 - ffox64 stopped playing sound for flash32-nswrapper. all the stuff i'm seeing via google seems to suggest loading pulseaudio and compile libflashsupport. now there was rumor pulseaudio will be in hardy, but aren't there also problems with jack atm? [04:00] just a min === mekaj_ is now known as mekaj [04:00] when it was burned, or downloaded..it happened to me one time [04:00] aight guys im out .. let me try some pclinuxos :D [04:00] cya [04:00] genii i hope these questionsa don't bother you, but... do i install fdisk as well? [04:01] any advice? [04:01] i redownloaded it and reburn it and i got rid of the errors (just a suggestion) [04:01] sudo apt-get install samba [04:01] apparently samba wasnt installed to hdd by default [04:01] weird [04:01] srsly [04:01] joeamined its not corrupted ... it installed fine but too many issues [04:01] ZionPsyfer, how can I find out in the terminal? [04:01] soldats, i been doing sudo aptitude install xyz but can't say for sure why it's supposed to be better [04:02] adrock358: You boot to livecd, then install debootstrap fdisk and grub (as in step 1 there without the encryptd stuff) [04:02] anderswc: try doing a 'sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5' It's the lazy way, but apt will tell you if it's already installed. [04:02] hmm... it installed samba.. but still no dice on the windows network [04:02] maybe i have to reboot for it to take effect [04:02] brb [04:02] if it's not installed, it will be. ;) [04:02] mojo, its just preference. if you use aptitude you cant remove via apt-get and vise versa so its up to you to remember when doing maintenence [04:03] ZionPsyfer, it says it can't find the package.. [04:03] I'm trying to recompile my kernel from source but I keep running into this error: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.c', needed by `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s'. [04:03] soldats, oh, okay... i thought aptitude had some better dependency tracking or something [04:03] grub? i'm on the live cd. i installed bootstrap. but then it has all this green on black writing. i don't think i can enter that into the command terminal [04:03] anyone here have an 8600 gt? [04:03] does anyone know how tu use lpadmin? [04:03] if you try to remove something installed with apt-get using aptitude what happens? [04:03] i have jvidia and tried the nvidia-gtk-new, only to find it makes my system unstable [04:03] anderswc: 'apt-cache search --names-only libapache2-mod-php' === j_ack_ is now known as j_ack [04:04] !aptitude [04:04] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [04:04] misslecommander: did the restricted drivers not work for u? [04:04] roshan: you mean install or work ? [04:04] adrock358: The second part where he fdisks the drive in 1 line can be done more carefully by running manually the fdisk program from in Terminal and specifying how you want the setup.Step 3 there can be ignored entirely unless you are the paranoid type.Stgep 4 omit any lines which have "cryptsetup" in them. [04:04] !lpadmin [04:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about lpadmin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:04] mojo, that may be, i use aptitude as well but the suggested cli package manager on the forums for newer people seems to be apt-get [04:04] I'm trying to recompile my kernel from source but I keep running into this error: make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.c', needed by `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s'. [04:04] install [04:04] soldats, np [04:05] :) [04:05] hmm that didnt do it [04:05] dude, thank you so much. i'm going to try it. please don't go anyway [04:05] where [04:05] checking in synaptic to make sure samba is actually installed [04:05] ZionPsyfer, tried that and it gave me the same message for the "apt-get" [04:05] roshan: yes but it was very hard for me. it seemed to be i needed to select all the internet servers in Server Sources in order to even get it to download and install [04:05] anyone know the status of pulseaudo on ubuntu and if it works with jack? [04:05] adrock358: step 5 just mount the drive ormally instead of the /dev/mapper way. The rest is pretty much what you see there to do [04:05] anderswc: You mean apt-get isn't found? which distro are you using? [04:06] i have a problem and the suggested fix is to install pulseaudio but i don't want to, eh, jack up jack [04:06] adrock358: I'll be here for a while to help [04:06] no... libapache2-... isn't found [04:06] misslecommander: i have tried both envy and the restricted drivers and neither of them work at all for my 8600 gt. Everything ubuntu finishes the loading screen, my monitor goes blank and i get the error message "No input signal go to power save" [04:06] roshan: it was easy enough to disable, but a pain to even get to install. it may have been just me, but it was super hard, took me days to do it [04:06] ZionPsyfer, no... "libapache2-..." isn't found [04:06] roshan: are you running the box now ? [04:06] yes [04:07] anybody know any good speed up guides? [04:07] roshan: someone told me something i could try. let me get it for you, maybe it will help, give me a min [04:07] i cant seems to find anything [04:07] anderswc: Wha? Can you run an 'apt-get update' and try it again? If it still doesn't find it, then your repositories might have some issues. [04:07] ok [04:07] how do i get unbanned from a certain channel? [04:07] Jay-Oh-En, no guides of top o me head but you may look into blackisting the ipv6 module to improve surfing [04:07] navetz: Plead your case in #ubuntu-ops [04:07] navetz, contact whoever banned you [04:08] mojo, yeah but like i need other stuff too [04:08] navetz, not here tough [04:08] !ipv6 [04:08] To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [04:08] roshan: take a look at this page under Run the Autodetect Script Again -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [04:08] roshan: you can put that script in your terminal [04:08] Hello, everybody!! [04:08] !hi > fraroco [04:08] ZionPsyfer, I tried "apt-get update" and then tried installing again but got the same results [04:08] roshanL i was told it will re-detect your video settings [04:09] Jay-Oh-En, tried searching ubuntu with other key words like tune speed up tweak performance and such? === neto is now known as netox [04:09] hey, in the shared folders menu, under gen properties, right under where you set the workgroup... theres a checkbox for "This computer is a WINS server"... do i need to turn that on? [04:09] missilecommander: thx, i'll give that a shot [04:09] anderswc: Alright can you bring up synaptic? [04:09] chewd: Not usually [04:09] roshan: ok, hope it helps [04:09] yeah [04:09] shouldnt my router be the WINS server? [04:09] Jay-Oh-En, google "speed up ubuntu" === netox is now known as netou [04:09] mojo, yeah but i get nothing ive always found stuff before but i cant now anyways i installed ubuntu again last night so i need speed up guides [04:09] soldats, I have maybe a stupid question but I wanna know what does it be the newest version of Ubuntu 8.04!! [04:09] Jay-Oh-En, or maybe a guide to services you can remove/disable, like bluetooth daemons if you have no bluetooth hardware, or a guide to compiling your own kernel with optimizations? === yudi is now known as smarta_jmb [04:10] ZionPsyfer, synaptic's up [04:10] chewd: WINS server is like a local name server but only for machines which are on the WORKGROUP or so [04:10] !hardy > fraroco [04:10] ZionPhysfer: youre gonna laugh when i tell you i have a new issue :) my pc beep, beeps when i type lol [04:10] anderswc: Alright, in the Settings-> Sources, make sure Universe is enabled. [04:10] whoa hey, i can see a couple of my boxes now [04:10] weird [04:10] ok [04:10] chewd, nice [04:10] ZionPhysfer: i will deal with it, but it isnt getting a restart till it crashes :P [04:10] mojo, i dont want to screw up my kernel [04:10] misslecommander: Lol! [04:10] cant get to my server yet.. but it sees my workgroup... thats progress :) [04:11] lol [04:11] sudo ndiswrapper -l [04:11] lsrtnds : invalid driver! [04:11] lswl2nds : invalid driver! [04:11] lswlnds5 : invalid driver! [04:11] how can I change to #ubuntu+1? [04:11] ZionPsyfer, there is no Settings ->Sources ... [04:11] Jay-Oh-En, speeding up ubuntu may be using a smaller window manager like xfce or e16 etc [04:11] this is what i get when I look at my drivers [04:11] any one know how to uninstall them? [04:11] Is there a way that I can use the nvidia restricted driver on the livecd? [04:11] chewd: there is Network Tools that may help in that kind of thing [04:11] Jay-Oh-En, they say it sounds harder than it is. you will also probably just keep a backup copy of your compiled kernel to revert to if needed. but anyway i've never done it either, though i've considered it [04:11] anderswc: Repositories then, sorry. ;) Doing this from memory. [04:11] fraroco: "/join ubuntu+1" no quotes [04:11] ok [04:12] bkar it works not [04:12] ok, hopefully that will work :) [04:12] fraroco: that should actually be "/join #ubuntu+1" sorry [04:12] Is there a way to set different wallpapers for dual monitors in Ubuntu Gutsy? [04:12] yea i saw the network tools thing.. but it looked like it was for troubleshooting the WAN connection [04:12] bkar after doing port fowarding, all I had to do was reboot my router [04:12] ping tracert & such [04:12] hey genii how do i mount the root normally, (not using dev mapper)? [04:12] anderswc: Alright, you'll need to run the 'sudo apt-get update' first before trying to install the libapache2-mod-php5 package again [04:13] System/Administration/Software Sources helped me out bigtime, i checkled all except source code [04:13] corinth, just search the web for widescreen wallpapers, dual-monitor wallpapers, etc [04:13] adrock358: What is the /dev name? eg: /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 or so [04:13] HEY === sdt54fc is now known as BusyBox [04:13] ZionPsyfer, ok I updated. [04:13] mojo: Problem is, my two monitors are at different resolutions. [04:13] misslecommander: Agreed. That's usually the first item on my list after an install. More toys to play with. [04:13] i just punched in smb://newserv & its working :) [04:13] misslecommander: i've already tied the dpkg-reconfigure server-xorg, and if my problem was about refresh rates, i would get a out of range error message. currently, i'm getting a no input signal error message [04:14] anderswc: alright try 'sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5' again [04:14] just had to prime the pump i guess [04:14] :D [04:14] mojo, its not slow or anything but i know with the hardware that i have in my computer it should go faster [04:14] progress as promised! [04:14] chewd, good job :) [04:14] yay, it's working! === BusyBox is now known as sdt54fc [04:14] ok...i'm trying, and I'm thinking... how do i find that info? where do I look? Thanks. genii [04:14] The other day my applications menu stopped functioning. Anyone know anything about how this is controlled ? Is it a bunch of shortcuts in a folder , like Windows or is it a config file as is common in Linux , or is it a third system ? [04:14] sometimes if you just ask the question, the answer presents itself :) [04:14] corinth: if you figure out a way to do that, let me know... seems... I ended up just doing some gimp work on my wallpapers, and merged two wallpapers, into 1 file, and it looks pretty good. [04:14] anderswc: woot, now you'll need to restart apache '/etc/init.d/apache2 restart' [04:14] thanks for being my soundboard [04:15] wait, if i don't say your name in the text it won't show up in brown, right? [04:15] ZionPysfer: i would think that they would be enabled by default, or alteast the secured ones. more toys, yes i like more toys, more things i can break my ssytem with :) it was major help [04:15] i have no sound on my system, after trying to install pulseaudio... all details here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4157039#post4157039)...can anybody help me? [04:15] brophat-> it does not work? what did you configure in your router again? [04:15] adrock358: Well normally if you are installing to an entire drive and it is the only one and master on primary channel then /dev/sda1 but if you have Windows installed it would likely be /dev/sda2 [04:15] bkar it does work now [04:15] IndyGunFreak: I don't mind doing that, but is there a way to move a pasted image to a specific spot? Like, +1440 pixels? [04:15] !sound |AFarris01 [04:15] AFarris01: 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).

[04:18] i just get nothing from my speakers [04:18] the latter [04:18] anderswc: Weird. Try this: 'locate libphp5.so' [04:18] VvWolverinevV yes, and to play mp3s you have to install sdditional gstreamer packages [04:18] but if i open a volume monitor [04:18] it shows as playing [04:18] AFarris01: do you have onboard sound, in addition to the PCI card? [04:19] joeamined: does that script you posted get me to those plugins? [04:19] yes, and it is disabled through bios [04:19] brophat what is the model of your ap/router again? [04:19] Is there any way I can use the nvidia restricted driver without rebooting (on the livecd)? [04:19] mneptok: for instance, i do nothing and my pc speaker beeps on every key i press, but i only been in here chatting, but now i may know there could be an issue with me keyboard, so i will have to check it out [04:19] ZionPsyfer, it just ran, it didn't print anything [04:19] ok i found it [04:19] no sound :( [04:19] i had to disable because it was causing trouble with steam in windows [04:19] how do I mount an ISO that is located on a windows share? I've already connected to the share. I want to open in in VLC. VLC for windows would know what to do if I used VLC's quick open function. This is not working on the VLC on Ubuntu. The ISO is a movie DVD. [04:19] VvWolverinevV yep [04:19] i see the prob [04:19] anderswc: Alright, let's do a 'sudo find / -name 'libphp5.so' [04:20] bkar whey do you need that? [04:20] brophat do you want me to assist you? [04:20] its trying to use my onboard crap soundcard rather than my kickass turtlebeach pci soundcard [04:20] misslecommander: but you make some incredible logical leaps. such as "my system beeps" = "this happens to every user" ergo "Ubuntu sucks" [04:20] at least it's taking some time now... [04:20] brophat its okay, if you dont want [04:20] bkar no answer? you know what they say about ppl who don't answer questions? hahaha [04:21] joeamined: "Couldn't find package ubuntu-restricted" [04:22] I am using awn and I on accident right-clicked on a mounted drive in the stacker applet and told it to Hide. Now its gone ... how do I "unhide" it? [04:22] brophat, oh well .. [04:22] what is the name and location of the file that stores your desktop settings? [04:22] i also manually reset the alsa to use my pci sound card as default with a command i found in the troubleshooting sound page [04:22] how do I mount an ISO that is located on a windows share? [04:22] My Ubuntu laptop cannot connect to a wifi server if it has another computer connected to it, even if that server is configured for more than one PC. Does anyone know why? [04:22] anderswc: You should get at least a few results on that. [04:22] brophat: you have an issue? [04:22] it may take a few minutes. [04:22] chewd: thank you, you just let me in on what my pc speaker problem was, it was the soundcard. i was wondering why my realplayer was still streaming, but no sound was coming out, and my keys beeped when i type [04:22] wifi not working at all with feisty, screen is blurry and fuzzy with gutsy [04:23] what should I do? [04:23] Animortis-> how are you attempting to connect to it from your laptop? [04:23] brophat: someone asking what kind of router you have when trying to help you with your router is hardly surprising [04:23] ZionPsyfer, I got one result.. it's in user/lib... not user/local :) [04:23] bkar, Network manager in roaming mode. [04:23] yet another thing to diagnose lol, getting there Physfer :) [04:23] how do I refer to files in the terminal that are located on a windows share? [04:23] any more ideas for the sound issue? [04:23] Knet rocks quick access to wifi, yeah! [04:23] !alsa [04:23] Animortis-> i meant, wireless or ethernet? [04:23] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [04:24] AFarris01: No Sound? >> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930 [04:24] bkar, Wireless. I'm using it now because my roommate isn't online. But if he was, I couldn't connect. [04:24] mneptok I don't need help with my router; I need my webserver to be accessible [04:24] http://www.sahw.com/wp/archivos/2006/07/20/diez-distribuciones-linux-ligeras-para-uso-en-equipos-poco-potentes-yo-obsoletos/ [04:24] anderswc: that might just be our problem, let me check something. Some stuff installs in /usr/lib, some in /usr/local/lib. sometimes things get crossed (at least for me). ;) [04:24] it used to work, but i only had it out of 1 speaker [04:24] brophat: and that is a function of NAT and your router [04:24] so i upgraded to pulseaudio and then i got system sounds but nothing from apps [04:24] If somebody want "small" linux's [04:24] :P [04:24] are your speakers bad === Archangel114 is now known as Archangel144 [04:24] !kdmconfig [04:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about kdmconfig - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:24] Animortis i dont follow, if he is online, you can not connect, are these same pc's or two different ones? [04:25] so i went back to esound and now have nothing at all [04:25] ezpinha: wrong channel for that [04:25] mneptok see if you can get this page http://74.186.120.21/ [04:25] brb restarting X [04:25] ezpinha, this is a support channel only please keep to topic === krim_ is now known as ays [04:25] brophat: is port 80 forwarded to the local IP? [04:25] ops sorry [04:25] how do I navigate to a windows share in the terminal? Where are they mounted? [04:25] no, speakers work great...i can verify through windows partition [04:25] brophat: forwarded *in the router* [04:25] I mean a samba share [04:25] yo [04:25] mneptok yes [04:25] AFarris01: what issue are you having ? [04:26] strange [04:26] brophat: apparently not. or your httpd has issues [04:26] bkar, Two different PCs. For example, if he gets online, my internet connection is lost. Or if he's online, I can't connect. I can't connect to public wifi connections either for the same reason - other people are using the wifi connection. [04:26] hey sounds working! [04:26] im batting 100 tonight [04:26] ZionPsyfer, I changed the line in the httpd.conf to point to the correct place [04:26] im on a roll! [04:26] AFarris01: i had it on default, what ubuntu configured, but now i changed it to what i know it is. [04:26] and now apache starts [04:26] my sound quit working in my apps after i installed pulseaudio on ubuntu 7.10 [04:26] mneptok why apparently not? [04:26] chewd: yeah! [04:26] now im off to make peace in the mideast [04:26] It's the bcm43xx driver. [04:26] Animortis-> are you two using the same ip address on same lan? you must only have one machine with that address... [04:26] so i reverted to esound, and now have no sound ata ll [04:26] is it possible to "cd" into a samba share in the terminal? [04:26] but it still gives the code without interpreting it [04:26] anybody want to go to mars with me tomorrow? [04:27] anderswc: And you say you compiled apache2? Or did you install it from apt? [04:27] brophat: because your httpd never responds [04:27] chewd, please keep to one line. im glad everything is working for you but this is for support mainly. [04:27] atomdog2003: if you do man samba you can find out about a whole ton of command line samba tools [04:27] anderswc: bingo [04:27] ZionPsyfer, I compiled it. [04:27] ok sorry [04:27] ive since ried reinstalling pulseaudio [04:27] bingo? [04:27] mneptok why does it work for me? === exophonix is now known as Exophonix [04:27] brophat: what is the IP address of the webserver? [04:27] but that did nothing [04:27] atomdog2003: i think the command is just smb ...

[04:31] anderswc: just making sure, in your /etc/apache2/mods-available directory, do you show php5.conf and php5.load? [04:31] playback gives the testing dialogue, but i hear no sound [04:31] how do I watch a DVD movie on an ISO file? [04:31] i thought my 8600 gt would work with 7.10, sadly it doesnt :( [04:31] FWIW, installing apache from apt would have been a bit easier. ;) [04:31] autodetect gives no sound on any of the selections [04:31] compy: xen is one [04:31] long story short, I installed 7.04 and had wireless problems, I came to this channel and someone helped me get it running [04:31] atomdog2003-> is there line an avi inside that iso file? [04:32] any others [04:32] AFarris01: it may not be compatible with linux. [04:32] atomdog2003: plan on keeping it? then burn it to dvd [04:32] I upgraded to 7.10 and then my resolution went crazy [04:32] ZionPsyfer, both [04:32] bkar: ?

[04:33] atomdog2003: trying to play it? use vlc [04:33] atomdog2003-> you can mount an iso, then ask your dvd player to that mount point and play the dvd [04:33] AFarris01: You can always back up /home and reinstall. That's always an option. [04:33] AFarris01: does pc speaker work ? like beeping ? [04:33] Jay-Oh-En: speed tweaks?

[04:34] hellooo [04:34] bazhang, yes what ones are good i know that 1 is good but the rest ive heard the kernel knows how to do best [04:34] my system doesnt have a pc speaker [04:34] bkar: what command do I type to find out? [04:34] ratfinkkeyton-> you have to respond to me with a prefix of my nick or I will miss your responses [04:34] AFarris01: lol [04:34] heh, sorry [04:34] atomdog2003: video ts can be played with media players in ubuntu as well as vlc [04:34] bkar: ok understand [04:34] badkitty, i'm coming! ;-) [04:34] jacdaw: tried that - VLS won't play it - I think I need to mount it - VLC for windows would have no problem though [04:34] i was kind of hoping i wouldnt have to reinstall [04:34] atomdog2003-> mount -o loop -t iso9660 /dev/cdomwheredvd /mnt [04:34] bazhang, ive did #1 and #3 [04:34] Jay-Oh-En: I would not do steps 4 or 7 but the others are fine [04:34] AFarris01: i gotta laugh, i sit here, when it dies, i have to laugh, otherwise, i go crazy [04:34] anderswc: still checking some stuff.

[04:35] Jay-Oh-En: np [04:35] ZionPsyfer, ok. I'm working on Calc so I'm not bored :) [04:35] bkar: Yes, the tab is so useful [04:35] ratfinkkeyton-> dmesg; or lspci or lshw [04:35] AFarris01: give me exact name of your audio card, and is it an onboard audio, or a plug-in card ? [04:35] bkar: ok - I understand your angle - there is just one problem with that - the ISO is on a samba share [04:36] techno_freak: actually it doesn't work so well; it lockes up for about two minutes at a time about every tenth youtube page, which is a PITA [04:36] how can i transfer ubuntu from one hard drive to the other? [04:36] zcat[1], no such problem on my side, i wonder... hmmm [04:36] AFarris01: i will do what i can, maybe google myself to death on it. [04:36] exact name: sound blaster audigy LS ...its a PCI card [04:36] atomdog2003-> still same, a file in smb that is iso, can be mounted over again to your mount point [04:36] lol [04:36] bkar: sudo ndiswrapper -l [04:36] lsrtnds : invalid driver! [04:36] lswl2nds : invalid driver! [04:36] lswlnds5 : invalid driver! [04:36] ok [04:36] bkar: in order to use the terminal to mount the ISO I first have to know where the ISO I have to refer to it with a path [04:36] i appreciate it [04:36] not sure why but it's happening on three different machines here [04:36] so the Acer Aspire 3050 can be upgraded to a Turion X2, no problem [04:36] ok [04:36] including this one which is running hardy [04:36] bkar: RTL8180L 802.11b [04:37] ratfinkkeyton-> i did not say anything about ndiswrapper [04:37] hey guys and gals, i need some network help. lspci shows the nic, ifconfig shows a configuration. I cannot ping the router and the router cannot ping the nic. I've been banging my head on this one for a while :( [04:37] techno_freak: you watch a lot of gootube clips? [04:37] its also got 24bit hd compatibility [04:37] and/or liveleak [04:37] bkar: good - where is the file then? I have the smb share connected - it shows up on my desktop - how do I get to it in the termain? [04:37] zcat[1], not lots, when some one points something to me [04:37] atomdog2003-> that you have to resolve first, where the iso is at [04:37] bkar: Realtek Semiconductor [04:37] genii, if i take silent out of my grub will i get the text scrolling on startup? [04:37] that is the card I have [04:38] chapium: Do you have any other connetion to the router [04:38] bkar: the ISO is on a smb share - I have it connected [04:38] ratfinkkeyton-> you asked me about video not network card [04:38] badkitty: what do you mean? the link lights are on, and the router is working for everything else [04:38] atomdog2003-> can you cd to that dir? [04:38] I can look at it in the file browser - no problem [04:38] Jay-Oh-En: Yes [04:38] bkar: what dir? I don't know where to look [04:38] techno_freak: it seems to happen mostly when I go through lots of pages with flash on all of them.. youtube, liveleak, mostly.. I think homestar did it a few times too [04:38] bkar: when I goto my Desktop I don't see it [04:39] bkar: how did you connect to the share? [04:39] Jay-Oh-En: Well "quiet" not"silent" [04:39] genii, thanks again [04:39] bkar: but it shows up in the file browser there [04:39] type mount it will show you where the share is mounted then use the whole path to the iso when mounting it [04:39] fr500-> its atomdog2003 [04:39] hello all , how can i make a link to my HOME folder on my Desktop under GNOME? [04:39] genii, thats what i meant [04:39] chapium: but can you get in to the router and see if the device is actually connected to it; or more preciesely if the router is actually assigned the configuration given when yo type ifconfig [04:39] ohh [04:39] strike: trying.. [04:39] atomdog2003: how did you connect to the share [04:39] bkar: I ran the dmesg command, what am I looking for [04:39] zcat[1], will check with others who watch a lot of gootubes [04:39] fr500: with the file browser [04:39] badkitty: the router does not show the device [04:39] i guess via connect to server on gnome [04:39] genii, so it should look like this kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=3a528faf-1b24-4529-a5b0-24595830a939 ro splash [04:39] ok [04:40] ratfinkkeyton-> dmesg|grep video something like that [04:40] atomdog2003: what do you wanna do with the iso? [04:40] as usual, the software that causes me the most grief is non-free :) [04:40] badkitty: I attempted to assign an ip the the nic's mac address, but they still cant see each other [04:40] fr500: mount it - so I can play the movie - it is a movie dvd [04:40] chapium: Ok so perhaps when you type if config, the IP address is set as a static [04:40] I had major issues with the nvidia drivers a while back too :) [04:40] how can i transfer ubuntu from one hard drive to the other? [04:40] zcat[1]: what graphics card do u have? [04:40] strike: when I type mount, I don't see it come up [04:40] bkar: sudo dmesg | grep video [04:40] [ 17.530724] Boot video device is 0000:01:05.0 [04:40] zcat[1]: Really, I never had a problem with the nvidia drivers, the horrors have always been on the ati side [04:40] atomdog2003: what do you wanna do with the iso? [04:41] !xd [04:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about xd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:41] unagi: this might not be very easy. might be safer to backup your home directory and reinstall linux on the new disk [04:41] %B hello all , how can i make a link to my HOME folder on my Desktop under GNOME? [04:41] it should be the only one mounted with smbfs [04:41] unagi: depending on what you mean by "transfer" [04:41] fr500_: I want to play a movie off of it - it is a movie dvd [04:41] theres more to my installation than just the home dir = [04:41] =( [04:41] unagi, i thnik you have to write in the MBR too to get it recognized [04:41] ghostTM55: ln -S ~ ~/Desktop [04:41] think [04:41] atomdog2003: let me explain [04:41] ratfinkkeyton-> well along those lines, you should see where what video you have, or again lspci or lshw...try these two [04:41] badkitty: i think i got it [04:41] fr500_: please [04:41] chapium: let me kow [04:41] jackdaw: thx , i'll try [04:41] badkitty: thanks for your help [04:41] chapium: sure thing [04:41] AFarris01: you still there ? [04:41] atomdog2003: i guess you want to mount the ISO like it was possible in windows with daemon tools for instance [04:42] hi [04:42] roshan_: Can't recall.. fairly old stuff.. the main problem was that I tried nvidia's installer one time and didn't remove it cleanly.. after that, every kernel upgrade would break the drivers, even after I moved back to using the nvidia-glx package. [04:42] unagi: you need to look at settign up grub and things, once you've moved the physical files, so linux knows where to boot from [04:42] my compiz fusion's cube rotation seems to be bugged. when i press ctrl+alt+(left or right), it skips desktops. it goes from 1 to 3 [04:42] fr500_: exactly! [04:42] anderswc: I just tried installing apache2, php5, libapache2-mod-php5 from apt, and it appears to work. Dumb questions, but are you sure that the php code begins with ? does it have the .php extension? [04:42] yep [04:42] bkar: PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc PCI Bridge [IGP 340M] [04:42] fr500_: VLC doesn't even need that software - it just knows what to do - on windows that is [04:42] ZionPsyfer, yep [04:42] bkar: VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M [04:42] atomdog2003: now, you are accessing the SMB share via gnome-vfs, it is a virtual file system only accessible via gnome-vfs enabled applications [04:42] jackdaw: so what if i copied partitions over too [04:42] ratfinkkeyton-> i have to answer this phone call..be back later..sorry [04:42] AFarris01: sofar one thing in common was mistaken the card wasnt playing sounds. the short fix is to check your sound levels, make sure they arent set all the way down [04:42] DVS01: the #compiz-fusion channel can help you out there [04:42] zcat[1]: ah, i'm using a really new graphics card, and i'm having horrible difficulty in getting it working with the restricted drivers [04:43] if you mount it as udf or maybe cdfs it should act the same as a real dvd [04:43] ZionPsyfer, when I go to the url of the php page with firefox, it tries to open it with gedit [04:43] fr500_: how can I access it in VLC? or is there an easier app to use that can access virtual fs? [04:43] strike: no [04:43] AFarris01: you see the volume control top-right of screen, double-click it make sure they are up [04:43] anyone else? either wireless setup help or resolution help? [04:43] atomdog2003: in order to "mount" the dvd iso like you did on windows you need first to mount the share so the share is accesible systemwide [04:44] roshan_: I set up an 8800 card for a guy the other day.. was a bit tricky, can't recall exactly what I had to do, but we got it working in the end.. nvidia-glx-new wasn't 'new' enough for it :) [04:44] i was assuming he had access to the share when he mounted it [04:44] ok, i just added every single device it listed [04:44] and maxed all volumes [04:44] strike: he has, but only with gnome-vfs [04:44] ratfinkkeyton: Ask the question again [04:44] spam irc.rizon.net with server address irc.hydroblunt.net [04:44] AFarris01: that new computer ? [04:44] atomdog2003: it would be easier to just copy the ISO to the desktop [04:44] atomdog2003: but i can guide you if you want [04:44] you do have the speakers connected to the back right ? [04:44] relatively [04:44] connect to server? that should give him access [04:44] zcat[1]: was he getting an error such as "no input signal go to power save" before u fixed the problem? [04:45] badkitty: all I need is either help with my wireless card or help with my screen resolution [04:45] strike: but only access via gnome-vfs, VLC doesnt do gnome-vfs [04:45] anderswc: Everything looks good for you. the php5.load file in /etc/apache2/mods-available points to the right path of libphp5.so, correct? php5.conf has .php as one of the extentions on the AddType line, right? [04:45] fr500_: bumber [04:45] is the share mounted or not? [04:45] roshan_: nah, it just kept booting into the 640x480 'your drivers are busted' vesa X server [04:45] i built it myself earlier this year [04:45] ratfinkkeyton: Wireless; things just worked for me . what version are you running? For resolution have you tried to reconfigure X? [04:45] why do u ask? [04:45] badkitty: if I upgrade to 7.10, I have resolution problems, if I use 7.04 I have wireless issues. I've had wireless working before on 7.04 though === amidanie1 is now known as amidaniel [04:45] strike: but mounted in gnome, not systemwide [04:45] ok, googlin tell ya if i find anything. seems to be they changed the alsa drvier, [04:46] ZionPsyfer, yep it does [04:46] strike: so only gnome-vfs aware apps can access it [04:46] badkitty: how do I reconfigure X? [04:46] alas, it's not mounted with "mount" [04:46] ** WARNING **: alsa_setup_mixer(): Failed to find mixer element: PCM [04:46] , what is this error [04:46] I got while running xmms, I am using pulseaudio [04:46] strike: the share is mounted via gnome virtual fs [04:46] atomdog2003: so what you wanna do [04:46] zcat[1]: ah, what i'm getting is this no input power save error right after the splash screen. i've looked at the forums but no solution has been posted as far as i saw :( [04:46] doesnt sound like its mounted at all [04:46] I'm running a gnome session on enlightenment, it's a laptop computer, but I don't remember after what update my computer does not detect the battery anymore [04:46] ZionPsyfer ,now that I have synaptics working should I try uninstalling apache and php and start over? [04:46] badkitty: i have sth to do right now , see u later [04:47] strike: the connect to server item does not mount your shares [04:47] ghosTM55: Ok man sorry I had to change pcs [04:47] anderswc: Let's try one more thing before we go through the trouble. run this in a term: 'sudo a2enmod php5' [04:47] are you sure [04:47] i am [04:47] fr500_: you can play gnome-vfs stuff with totem [04:47] fr500_: what he said - I guess I need to use mount? [04:47] badkitty: ;-) [04:47] nickrud: totem? [04:47] nickrud: yes but totem does not open ISO files [04:47] anderswc: If not, yea, let's install apache from apt rather than compiling it. [04:47] is there a reason why torrents don't work on ubuntu out of the box is it being blocked by firewall? [04:47] nickrud: I need something that plays ISOs like VLC [04:48] ZionPsyfer, it says "This module is already enabled" [04:48] fr500: ah, missed that part, the iso thing [04:48] ratfinkkeyton: Its something like sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.org.. hang on lemme check === emet is now known as Tyler_Durdan [04:48] Howdy; I want to format my slave drive and use it for data storage with access via both windows and linux; Am I right that NTFS is not writeable by linux, but fat32 is? [04:48] (Im in vista right now on the ol ladies lappy [04:48] fr500_: okay - I guess I need to use mount on the smb share instead of gnome [04:48] no [04:48] atomdog2003: yes you do [04:48] Puddle: you can write with ntfs-3g , but vfat is a conservative choice [04:48] ntfs-3g gives read and write access to any user [04:48] ratfinkkeyton: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:49] fr500_: will do that then - thanks for the help [04:49] atomdog2003: fist, open up a terminal [04:49] fr500_: yeah? [04:49] fr500_: terminal open [04:49] there's a difference between ntfs-3g and ntfs, right? Like right now it was formatted with NTFS and I can't do anything with it but read [04:49] then: sudo apt-get install smbfs [04:49] anderswc: One last stupid question before we do a reinstall. ( just covering all the bases ) the php file is in your webroot directory right? === Puddle is now known as Puddle4 [04:49] use ntfs it will let you use files over 4gig [04:50] Puddle4: the file system stays the same, you use a different driver, one that can write, to access the ntfs file system [04:50] ZionPsyfer, yeah, htdocs [04:50] fr500_: done [04:50] that is the biggest pain with fat32 [04:50] hello [04:50] anderswc: Just butting in, was all the php modules added in when you did the install? [04:51] anybody else willing to help with a sound problem? all my info is here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4157039#post4157039) and ill be more than happy to repeat anything here [04:51] mmk, thanks [04:51] now, atomdog2003: make a directory, with mkdir [04:51] badkitty, what do you mean [04:51] badkitty: Thinking not. [04:51] AFarris01: Haven't you been receiving help here? [04:51] !nfts-3g | Puddle4 (you changed your nick, I would have put this up sooner) [04:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about nfts-3g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:51] fr500_: ok [04:51] anderswc: I forget exactly how to do it, but there is a command that adds in the module that activates the parsing of .php files in your webserver [04:51] !ntfs-3g | Puddle4 (you changed your nick, I would have put this up sooner) [04:51] Puddle4 (you changed your nick, I would have put this up sooner): ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [04:52] i have, but so far we havent come up with any solutions [04:52] anderswc: If you don't do this, it will not parse php files [04:52] So I just finished installing ubuntu now I'm at the login screen and I can't move my mouse or type anything.. [04:52] anderswc: There's a flag --enable-so that needs to be set if you want to load .so's. [04:52] you dont need to know much just install it and mount your partition with it simple as [04:52] I am using a laptop. [04:52] badkitty: libapache2-mod-php5 ? [04:52] i was hoping maybe add more ideas maybe help === Tyler_Durdan is now known as emet [04:52] atomdog2003: smbmount //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassword [04:52] AFarris01: Sounded like you were saying you hadn't, when I've seen people helping you for an hour. [04:53] nickrud: That could be it.. Im still noobish myself, I followed some tutorials to make sure I had everything running correctly [04:53] ZionPsyfer, where do I put the flag? [04:53] I'm running a gnome session on enlightenment, it's a laptop computer, but I don't remember after what update does not detect the battery anymore. I get the following error message "Can't access ACPI events in /var/run/acpid.socket! Make sure the ACPI subsystem is working and the acpid daemon is running." Anyone? [04:53] AFarris01: Next time, maybe don't rip out the sound system. [04:53] do I need it when I install? [04:53] anderswc: It needs to be done when you call ./configure [04:53] lol...yeah... [04:53] how do I kill my X server? [04:53] AFarris01: As I said, there is always the option to reinstall after you backup /home -- sounds like you just installed, so why not? [04:53] i was hoping to get some more functionality [04:53] badkitty: I install apache2 , libapache2-mod-php5 php5 mysql-server-5.0 for drupal, seems to work every thime [04:54] ctrl alt bkspace AngryElf [04:54] thats restart [04:54] nickrud: Are you compiling it yourself? [04:54] fr500_: not restart, kill [04:54] I'm having sound card issues with my Acer 3050, anyone have any tips. [04:54] well ive actualyl had the installation up for a few weeks [04:54] ZionPsyfer: if I wanted to compile the stuff, I'd run gentoo :) [04:54] and dont tell me gdm stop, cause that isn't working either [04:54] AngryElf: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [04:54] it was just recently this sound thign happened [04:54] AFarris01: Would a clean install really be less time than you spent in here trying to troubleshoot? [04:54] nickrud: You like drupal over Joomla? ... *sigh* [04:54] fr500_: and dont tell me gdm stop, cause that isn't working either [04:54] nickrud: Well anderswc compiled apache from source. [04:54] AngryElf: woops, killall xorg? [04:54] probly...i just had huge probs last time trying to get my graphics card to work [04:54] sudo kill -9 X xinit [04:55] ZionPsyfer: then he should be asking for help on #apache [04:55] and even if i did a clean install, i still wouldnt have full sound [04:55] AFarris01: You should have those steps documented anyway, because you'll have to do them again when you upgrade, most likely. [04:55] fr500_: fr500_ zcat[1] no and no [04:55] nickrud: He did it because universe wasn't enabled in his sources, so he installed it that way. [04:55] bkar: you there? [04:55] badkitty: you there? [04:55] nickrud, I didn't have synaptics set up right so i couldn't see the right packages. [04:55] badkitty: I'm considering a change, but I maintain one really big site and don't look forward to the work ;( [04:55] ratfinkkeyton: Yes I am whats up? [04:55] oh i have then documented [04:55] fr500_: timeout connecting to 192.168.1.30:445 [04:55] not yet. am still on phone [04:55] something like that.. ps x and killa anything that looks like an X server :) [04:55] hi, got a question, is there an ubuntu app that works like Alcohol 120% in making iso dvd images? [04:55] anderswc: Alright, you still have the folder with the source that you compiled from? [04:55] and im probably gonna end up doing a clean wipe [04:56] ZionPsyfer: anderswc then you should run the make uninstall in the apache source dir and switch :) [04:56] how can I see what kde desjktop system I have installed? I want to remove it from my system. [04:56] atomdog2003: can you paste the command here? [04:56] Guren, have you tried K3b? [04:56] ZionPsyfer, yeah [04:56] has anyone experienced the no input signal go to power save error [04:56] nickrud: Exactly where we're going right now. =) [04:56] is it kde-desktop ? [04:56] AFarris01: You might only have sound in one speaker after your reinstall, but at least you'll have your system in a state where someone can help you troubleshoot. Right now, you've done so much tweaking and gutting of the system, that it's hard to help you. [04:56] badkitty: put this in the back of your mind... for wireless issues that I described earlier, the fix so far is modprobe [04:56] okay stupid question... noatun is a media player for KDE... does that mean i cant run it in Gnome? or does that mean it just wont run as well in gnome? [04:56] nickrud: Joomla is awesome man ... i recall drupal being way harder to set up and it didn't seem to have the support or addons [04:56] NewUbuntuFan, I have k3b but I don't see where i can make an iso [04:56] fr500_: not with my password... hang on... [04:56] anderswc: alright, go in to that folder and type 'make uninstall' [04:56] sudo before it [04:56] chewd: no [04:56] ok [04:56] badkitty: I now see the wireless networks but can't connect [04:56] true enough...i apologize for that [04:56] badkitty: I'm almost there [04:56] wont run huh? [04:56] Guren, another app to try is Brasero [04:56] ratfinkkeyton-> okay am back..where we again? [04:57] chewd: It means it uses KDE libraries, if you download it through apt-get, it will pull out the correct packages [04:57] chewd: it will run [04:57] thanks [04:57] anderswc: oh, and do a 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop' [04:57] is there another channel strictly based on drivers? [04:57] fr500_: smbmount //zim/Movies2 mount -o username=un,password=pw [04:57] ratfinkkeyton: Are the secured? [04:57] bkar: I now have my wireless functioning but I can't connect to any networks [04:57] chewd: I have found that KDE apps generally dont run very well in GNOME - because of KDE's dreaded DCOP server [04:57] badkitty: It's the only one I'd played around with when I was asked to set up a cms fast. But now we want more flexibility [04:57] oh okay [04:57] i guess a fresh install is the way to go then probly... [04:57] atomdog2003: you are missing destination [04:57] nickrud: Do Joomla, I can even help if you want [04:57] badkitty: no they are mine and they are set to alow specific MAC ID's but mine is in that list [04:57] ratfinkkeyton-> okay lets do some testing, iwconfig does it show its being associated? [04:58] totem is kinda feature-poor, anybody care to suggest a good video player? [04:58] badkitty: do you know a content conversion utility? A few thousand pages :) [04:58] fr500_: the dirname? [04:58] smbmount //zim/movies /durectoryyoucreated!! -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassword [04:58] ratfinkkeyton: So no encryption, just only allow certain MAC's .. got it [04:58] badkitty: that's the only bottleneck we have right now [04:58] chewd: mplayer [04:58] thanks [04:58] ZionPsyfer, It says "No rule for target 'uninstall'. Stop" [04:58] fr500_: the dir name is mount [04:58] bkar: badkitty: not associated, that is correct [04:58] chewd: or xine [04:58] ohhh [04:58] nickrud: To convert dupal pages to joomla? [04:59] anderswc: try 'make remove' [04:59] or VLC [04:59] try 'em all [04:59] find which you like best [04:59] sorry if someone said something I couldn't ready it my colors were messed up [04:59] is 192.168.1.30 the ip address the other pc's IP? [04:59] which one gives you more power over the gui? [04:59] fr500_: yes [04:59] ratfinkkeyton-> do a iwlist wlan0 scan can it scan yours and your neighbors essid's ? [04:59] chewd: mplayer is the best [04:59] I'm trying to completely remove KDE from my system. how would I go about that and fall back to just Gnome? [04:59] vlc is nice.. it handles dvd menus, and plays .iso files of dvd's . not sure if any of the others do.. [04:59] ZionPsyfer, that doesn't work either [04:59] atomdog2003: it should work [04:59] maybe ill just install em both & see [04:59] ratfinkkeyton: Hmm dunno... I usually jet mine to WPA and leave SSID unbroadcasted [04:59] spam irc.rizon.net with server address irc.hydroblunt.net [05:00] badkitty: yup :) I really don't want to delve that deeply into the backends, I'm hoping someone has done most of the work already. And I haven't done any looking yet. My boss and I just started kicking the idea around this week [05:00] can you press alt-f2 and type smb://zim/Movies2 ? [05:00] !kde [05:00] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [05:00] fr500_: maybe port 445 isn't forwarded [05:00] chewd: vlc can flash videos, dunno if mplayer can do it, but its good to install both video players [05:00] nickrud: You should try looking on the joomla addons page, they just may have something there [05:00] if it mounted via file browser it has to work === [gquit]bombadil is now known as bombadil [05:00] I think mplayer plays flv's as well.. [05:00] anderswc: alright, open the Makefile in gedit and search for the word uninstall. We'll see if there's a directive in there. [05:01] ok K3B does the job [05:01] nickrud: What type of website do you run [05:01] badkitty: I certainly hope so. I don't look forward to dumping tables and massaging them [05:01] i just wanna be able to change things like, scroll wheel does volume... [05:01] atomdog2003: can you press alt-f2 and type smb://zim/Movies2 ? [05:01] just needed to pick copy dvd ... i'm a dummy [05:01] bkar: I can see it but cannot connect [05:01] chewd: xine-ui [05:01] fr500_: that worked [05:01] does xine do all of the menus and stuff too? [05:01] i like a very configurable ui [05:01] can someone help me getting my desktop effects enabled? [05:01] try again the command then it should work [05:01] like zoomplayer is in the windows world [05:02] anderswc: Or we can do it the dirty way. [05:02] ratfinkkeyton-> can you try disabling the wep/wpa or mac filtering whatever and see if you can connect? [05:02] badkitty: the last time I did any serious sql was in the 80's with rbase . My aging brain rebels at relearning all that stuff [05:02] ZionPsyfer, I tried searching "uninstall" in it and found nothing. [05:02] ratfinkkeyton: Is it possible to try to connect to a different router? [05:02] maybe the dirty way is the way to go [05:02] fr500_: timeout connecting to 192.168.1.30:445 [05:03] nickrud: I haven't even messed with db much at all .. so dont feel bad [05:03] meh how weird [05:03] zcat[1]: yes, totem-xine gets menus into totem as well [05:03] anyone got any preference for a desktop widgets app? I've got gdesklets right now, any idea on where I can get more desklets? [05:03] atomdog2003: sudo mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassword [05:03] hanophix33: depends on what type of video card you have [05:03] nickrud: I do believe phpmyadmin is my friend [05:03] fr500_: should i try another port? [05:03] badkitty: bkar: attempting to connect to other wireless router with no security [05:03] anderswc: No problem, we'll do it the dirty way. run a 'sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop' first to make sure it's killed, then 'sudo rm -rf /usr/local/apache2' (assuming that's where you installed it. That's the default install location from source) [05:04] badkitty: yeah, that and mysql-admin and browser are good for not getting into nitty gritty [05:04] atomdog2003: no, 445 is the SMB port and you can't change that [05:04] can someone help me getting my desktop effects enabled? [05:04] fr500_: weird [05:04] hanophix33: join #ubuntu-effects [05:04] ZionPsyfer: you might want him to run a find as well, Just In Case [05:05] nickrud: Yep. [05:05] nickrud: agreed. [05:05] atomdog2003: try sudo mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /mountdirectory -o username=mywindowsusername,password=mywindowspassword [05:05] anderswc: do a 'which apache2' and a 'sudo find / -name apache2 -print | less' verify. [05:06] if i wanted to make the text scrolling on startup just be under my splash screen how would i do that in grub i deleted quiet but it shows white text before the splash screen but then it does what i want with the text under the splash screen would i add quiet or silent or something? [05:06] Jay-Oh-En: cant do that [05:06] Jay-Oh-En: quiet turns off the kernel messages [05:06] fr500_: timeout connecting to 192.168.1.30:445 [05:07] like this kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=3a528faf-1b24-4529-a5b0-24595830a939 ro quiet splash or kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=3a528faf-1b24-4529-a5b0-24595830a939 ro silent splash or kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=3a528faf-1b24-4529-a5b0-24595830a939 ro splash [05:07] hi everybody, [05:07] hi [05:07] atomdog2003: hmm when you did the alt-f2 thingy, did it ask for a user and pass? [05:07] fr500_: i think the port is different thru gnome [05:07] atomdog2003: no [05:07] fr500_: no [05:07] ZionPsyfer, those printed a lot of things. [05:07] do I need to delete all those? [05:07] fr500, nickrud, look at my last post [05:07] atomdog2003: mount -t smbfs //servername/sharename /mountdirectory [05:07] Who was the guy who had the resolution problem [05:08] Jay-Oh-En: won't work, you can't have the text below the splash, usplash doesnt feature that [05:08] Jay-Oh-En: I'm not sure what text you're talking about. ro quiet splash is the default, just puts up the splash screen with the rolling colored ok messages [05:08] ratfinkkeyton: did the screen resolution thing work [05:08] anderswc: Alright, take note of the paths of those files. Are they in /usr/local ? You will see some in /etc/ for certain. We will get those after. We're looking for /usr/bin/ and /usr/local/bin entries. [05:08] ok [05:09] nickrud, thats what i meant "splash screen with the rolling colored ok messages" [05:09] copied the paths to gedit [05:09] nickrud, how do i do that [05:09] looks like etc/init.d, [05:09] hey how do I get to the xorg.conf in the terminal [05:09] anderswc: You will probably see some in /usr/lib and/or /usr/local/lib. Those need to be removed as well. [05:09] Jay-Oh-En: you can't with ubuntu's usplash [05:10] ZionPsyfer: maybe you could have him put the results of the find up on pastebin, you could look it over and if it's selective enough have the find rm {} [05:10] Gyrodog: /etc/X11 [05:10] Jay-Oh-En, ive did it before [05:10] nod [05:10] Gyrodog: I think [05:10] fr500_: timeout connecting to 192.168.1.30:445 [05:10] atomdog2003: man.... no clue [05:10] fr500, ive did it before [05:10] that is weird [05:10] no thats not it [05:10] let me test [05:10] Jay-Oh-En: on Gutsy? [05:10] I want to edit my xorg in the terminal screen [05:10] Jay-Oh-En: I have that splash screen turned off, I like all the messages in text so I'm not experienced with usplash [05:10] fr500, yep in kubuntu [05:10] anderswc: Let's follow nickrud's advice. take the results of that find and put them up on pastebin. [05:11] Gyrodog: Sorry Im in Vista... Ol lady wont let me install ubuntu on her lappy and too lazy to go get the live cd and reboot [05:11] Gyrodog: U sure, make sure the x is CAPITOLIZED [05:11] ZionPsyfer: I'm not familiar enough with apache's libs, etc to say what's supposed to be there. So take my advice advisedly [05:11] nickrud, i meant i want the text like the splash screen and the text under it with scrolling ok messages [05:11] atomdog2003: what is your IP address? [05:11] it ain't [05:12] Jay-Oh-En: i think it's not possible, it was on hoary i think [05:12] fr500_: gutsy's splash dropped the scrolling colored ok text? [05:12] but not now [05:12] hrm. where do i tell ubuntu to hibernate when the battery runs out instead of going down hard? [05:12] I wanna get to the editor and do it all from the terminal [05:12] nickrud: Aye, it's a good idea though, and safer. [05:12] nickrud, ive had it done before if that doesnt work im going to be mad [05:12] hi need to run a script with sudo option. But i don't want it to ask me for the sudo password. what should i do? [05:12] hi [05:12] nickrud: there is no text on the splash screen now, hasn't been any since feisty or something [05:13] fr500_: and here I thought it was my machine :) [05:13] Gyrodog: Are you in a terminal yet? [05:13] noelferreira-> run it in cron ? [05:13] nickrud: it was like that when they used splashy i think, looooooong ago, splash screen [05:13] fr500, you dont know what your talking about cause i just did it two seconds ago but i got the list with white text before it [05:13] yes I am in the terminal [05:13] no bkar [05:13] genii you still here? [05:13] Rubin: system->prefs->screensaver , power options button [05:13] noelferreira-> i meant run it in cron [05:13] screensaver? lol [05:13] i'll have it as a icon bkar [05:14] you mean splash screen plus scrolling text, like at the same time right Jay-Oh-En [05:14] Jay-Oh-En: do you have usplash? [05:14] bkar: badkitty: this is ratfink, now joel [05:14] fr500, yes [05:14] Gyrodog: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:14] after a successful nvidia driver install I can start GDM just fine, but when i reboot, it fails to load -- any ideas why? [05:14] Jay-Oh-En: older version? [05:14] problem remains after booting [05:14] bazhang, yeah [05:14] atomdog2003: works here [05:14] okay... how do i kill an app?

[05:18] bazhang, when i use livecd i can browse window machine.... [05:18] anderswc: Alright, 'apt-get install apache2' followed by an 'apt-get --reinstall php5' and a 'apt-get --reinstall install libapache2-mod-php5' [05:18] is there a standalone app for ubuntu that can act as a replacement for the system tray? [05:18] ZionPsyfer, ok [05:18] fr500, yes [05:18] gah [05:18] yeah, os is installed now [05:18] Hkittysmoothie: alltray [05:18] anderswc: hang on [05:18] anderswc: 'apt-get --reinstall install php5' [05:18] w00t`: can you ping the other pc? [05:19] fr500, yes i can [05:19] patogen. what with name? [05:19] * ZionPsyfer goes to get another cup of java. === infoshopkeeper is now known as johnny_ [05:19] ZionPsyfer: if he deleted the /etc/apache2 directory, he'll have to purge libapache2-mod-php5 to get back the php5.conf & load [05:19] its just i cant see them, so i can browse [05:19] adrock358: Hmm what with name? [05:19] adrock358-> which part are you getting stuck? btw you need to prefix my nick on your responses to me, messages flying and will miss yours [05:19] can anyone help? I have 3 harddrives and a cdrom connected to an ubuntu system. However, I cannot figure out what one of the harddrives is called to mount it [05:19] patogen: No, I mean something that is a *replacement* for the system tray thing on the gnome panel [05:19] Hkittysmoothie: Oh sorry, dont know then [05:19] hi, i'm having some trouble with my volume applet, it doesn't show up in the "Add to Panel" list [05:19] Hkittysmoothie, you want the gnome tray without gnome? [05:19] i've tried reinstalling it [05:20] no dice so far [05:20] nickrud: --reinstall install should cover that, correct? [05:20] i think it happen when i update my pc [05:20] Hkittysmoothie, other window managers have their own thing.. like window maker has its own way of doing that with little dock apps. [05:20] Hi all, just trying to install Ubuntu 6.06 but I keep getting this: "[17179569.388000] Code: Bad EIP value." then: "[17179569.388000] <0>Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!" [05:20] also found a suggestion to change the icon theme [05:20] anderswc: take a look at this http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server [05:20] no dice with that [05:20] KyMc1985, why such an old release? [05:20] chapium, what type of drives ide or sata? [05:20] ZionPsyfer: no, dpkg assumes that a conffile in /etc is missing because the sysadmin did it on purpose, so it won't put it back [05:20] is this a BUG? [05:20] i read some issue [05:20] takes too long to download a copy or to get it shipped lol [05:20] ZionPsyfer, Yeah, I figured that one out :) [05:21] Rubin: So can I use an standalone app as a replacement for the gnome tray? [05:21] help i cant install the xorg-driver-fglrx package. can anyone help me plz [05:21] Hkittysmoothie, not that i know of, no. [05:21] nickrud: That's good to know. Thank you. =) [05:21] KyMc1985, tried googling that error? [05:21] yeah i figured that much bkar, just wasn't completely sure I guess. welll i need to mount the rooy, but not mounted the way they show. i need to mount it, but not using dev mapp [05:21] waiting for it to load [05:21] Ellement: Why not? [05:21] ok, installs done. now should it work (once I start it)? [05:22] Rubin, then is there a way to change the background color of the system tray (I'm using it on AWN, if that helps)? [05:22] patogen, just wondering the name. what is the significance to you of 'patogen'? I am merely curious. [05:22] can you try alt-f2 then smb://ipofotherpc? [05:22] olddude67: the drives from my knowledge are ide, however they are showing up as sda, sdb, etc. This is an old pentium 3 system [05:22] anderswc: Could help to view this page http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server [05:22] keeps saying break (install) [05:22] badkitty: keeps saying break (install) [05:22] Hkittysmoothie, right click the panel its on, select properties.. change to background tab. [05:22] chapium, version of ubuntu are you running? [05:23] chapium: that's a new scheme controlled by libata, and it also has to do with the new UUID scheme in fstab and menu.lst. There's a link in the next factoid [05:23] Ellement: Hmmm.. All the repositories enabled and everything? [05:23] Rubin, I've gotten rid of the panel, that's why I need the color to work with my awn theme. [05:23] anderswc: Let's try it for the heck of it. I have a feeling we'll have to do the purge (if you didn't). [05:23] !libata | chapium [05:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about libata - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:23] fr500, is that for me [05:23] yes [05:23] chapium, cause the will go in order sda first drive and so on. [05:23] !uuid | chapium (um, second factoid :) [05:23] chapium (um, second factoid :): To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [05:23] Hkittysmoothie, dunno, sorry. [05:23] badkitty: i'm currently in adept manager, how can i check if all repositiories are enabled? [05:23] nickrud, i got it to work but i get the black screen with the grey text before the splash screen with scrolling ok's [05:23] ZionPsyfer, looks like it got put in a different place than before ... [05:23] fr500, error [05:24] yow... note to self.. never run totem in fullscreen... the only way out is a hard-reboot [05:24] Rubin, Allrighty, thanks anyway. [05:24] fr500, Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: ipofotherpc". [05:24] Jay-Oh-En: yeah, I like that :) you need quiet I guess [05:24] Only thing I could see is about PNP in the BIOS, trying a command "linux nobiospnp" [05:24] cause /usr/local/apache2/ doesn't exist [05:24] nickrud, i dont like it like that i just want the scrolling oks [05:24] can someone tell me if this is a good way to backup, just incase i need to use recovery mode ? -> cp -R /etc /home/recovery/etc [05:24] KyMc1985, this error happens during bootup? or later? [05:25] anderswc: Yes, the apt package installs in a different path. [05:25] nickrud, i dont like it like that i just want the scrolling oks with the splash screen** [05:25] misslecommander, i think that should work well [05:25] Jay-Oh-En: like I said, I prefer all the text, so I disabled usplash and don't know much about it [05:25] w00t`: hehe you had to type the ip of the other pc instead [05:25] misslecommander, you can do -a instead, to preserve links.. [05:25] Ellement: I'm in vista so Im not too much use at the moment, what I would do is a google search to see what repo's are needed, then go into the sources manager and see if the correct ones are enabled [05:25] Rubin: thank you [05:25] Hi people. Have you experienced this before : the usb disks got detected and worked fine, and suddenly after a few weeks, the usb disks dont get detected anymore, but in windows with the same pc and the same usb disks, they went fine. I tried fdisk -l, but no usb devices are detected. What can possibly go wrong ? [05:25] badkitty: i have multiverse, universe and restricted checked [05:25] hmm, where is it? [05:25] :) [05:25] bkar. yeah i figured that much, just wasn't completely sure I guess. welll i need to mount the rooy, but not mounted the way they show. i need to mount it, but not using dev mapp [05:25] Has anyone else tried to play a Mr Woodcock DVD in ubuntu? Seems to be some new encryption on there or something...Anyone have some insight? [05:25] anderswc: Are you looking for your webroot? [05:25] Rubin: It happens while just loading the CD to install it. [05:26] anderswc: /var/www/ [05:26] SpudDogg you have libdvdcss2? [05:26] SpudDogg: i dont think so, meybe another zone [05:26] ahh [05:26] KyMc1985, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=629973 [05:26] badkitty: yea...any other dvd i've tried has been fine [05:26] KyMc1985, is that a 64bit system? [05:27] albert_kam: if you tail the logs when attaching/removing, do you see anything USB related? [05:27] fr500_: wouldn't the player ask me what zone? [05:27] ZionPsyfer, and how do I start apache? [05:27] fr500, i see the shared docs [05:27] * jdh6403 yawns [05:27] anderswc: /etc/init.d/apache2 restart [05:27] SpudDogg: I've heard that the new chris rock/jackie chan dvd has the same problem [05:27] NoelJB : i tried tail -f /var/log/messages, nothing suspicious. to be precise, nothing happens. [05:27] nickrud: no solution yet? [05:27] SpudDogg: you can't change zones many times [05:27] Ellement: Did you google to see if any extra reos are needed? [05:27] albert_kam: Gutsy? [05:27] i'm trying to re add the volume control [05:27] but it is totally gone [05:27] every other applet is there [05:28] aw crap now my network is broken again [05:28] just not thatone [05:28] it makes no sense [05:28] Rubin: nope, x86 [05:28] Can anybody help me out with this? http://www.cs278.org/blog/ubuntu-configuration/feisty-debootstrap-encrypted-install/ [05:28] but i dont want to try that one by one :) [05:28] SpudDogg: no, I haven't. Probably a new version of libdvdcss2 will appear some day [05:28] SpudDogg: you can change 4 times on a cd-writer [05:28] KyMc1985, could be a bad disk you got, or a hardware problem.. or just some incompatability. I think its prolly worth getting a 7.10 disc.. a LOT has changed in the last year. [05:28] so much for my batting avg [05:28] w00t`: ??? [05:28] I am using debootstrapper [05:28] w00t`: try this sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [05:28] fr500, i see the shared docs on the other computer [05:28] and try browsing again [05:28] nickrud: are you familiar with anydvd for winblows? [05:28] adrock358,gusty comes with encrypted [05:28] just use that [05:28] Rubin: The code went from Bad EIP value to a whole lot of hex: 5f 5d c3 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00 85 c9 75 dc a1 98 75 33 c0 89 85 30 01 00 00 8b 1c 24 83 c3 7c 8d 55 08 8b 4d 08 8b 42 04 89 41 04 <89> 08 8b 0c 24 8b 41 7c 89 50 04 89 45 08 89 5a 04 89 51 7c eb [05:28] it was very easy to setup on the alternative cd [05:29] fr500, i did that after installing the samba :) .... but gonna try it again :) [05:29] SpudDogg: gasp not ANYDVD I hate that cunnning fox [05:29] NoelJB: actually i'm just asking for my friend, he's using opensuse 9.2 .. i think you people are very active here, so i ask in this channel, sorry :p [05:29] sudo cp -R /etc /home/username/recovery/etc(to backup) and sudo cp -R /home/username/recovery/etc /etc(to recover) ?? [05:29] w00t`: I'd make sure workgroup is the same [05:29] KyMc1985, theres a lot you could try but i dont think its worth anyones time to debug 1+ year old kernel .. the bug prolly was fixed a long time ago [05:29] ZionPsyfer, /etc/init.d/apache2 doesn't exist! [05:29] must likely lol [05:29] well genii said that since my wireless works with livecd and not with the installed ububtu that i need to run debootstrapper.ignore all the decypted stuff [05:30] johnny_previous post [05:30] fr500, now it stop/start smb [05:30] w00t`: you can see the workgroup by running sudo testparm [05:30] albert_kam: I can't help you with SuSE. I've jokingly sung that "If you knew SuSE like I know SuSE, you'd never use SuSE again" [05:30] SpudDogg: I do my best not to be familiar with anything on windows, and pretty successfully :) [05:30] ZionPsyfer: this look good ->> sudo cp -R /etc /home/username/recovery/etc(to backup) and sudo cp -R /home/username/recovery/etc /etc(to recover) ?? [05:30] misslecommander, use -a instead of -R you get more fully preserved results [05:31] NoelJB: haha .. i thought this problem is something unrelated with distributions. Thanks anyway .. [05:31] Rubin: ok [05:31] does anybody know anything about this? my wireless works with livecd but not when installed [05:31] NoelJB I never used suse before but I prefer ubuntu [05:31] whats the proper size of the 7.10 disc (MB wize) [05:31] i was told to go here http://www.cs278.org/blog/ubuntu-configuration/feisty-debootstrap-encrypted-install/ [05:31] adrocks358: mine works when it wants :) [05:31] about 685MB [05:31] nickrud: i don't blame you... [05:31] albert_kam: no worries. I can say that I've not seen that problem with Feisty or Gutsy, and have had USB drives mounted on a server for months on end. [05:31] NoelJB: Anyway, could i ask, what have you found wrong in suse ? I'm just curious .. [05:31] KyMc1985: Just do an Md5 checksum [05:32] adrock: maybe youre running into what i just did... the install doesnt put samba on by default [05:32] a wha? [05:32] KyMc1985 about 685MB or closer [05:32] ha ha that's funny. but i've been doing this all day. i just need it done [05:32] i am looking at themes. what are the differences between gtk 1.x, 2.x. metacity and compiz themes on gnome-look.org? [05:32] fr500, i did that testparm, but i cant see any workgroup there [05:32] KyMc1985: Are you trying to make sure the file you downloaded is uncorrupted? [05:32] adrocks358: if it works with LiveCD it should work without it. i know what you mean, took me 3 days to get my wireless working right [05:32] workgroup name [05:32] badkitty: yes, just to make sure, used a download manager. trying not to use too many cds lol [05:32] most likely it was a bad burn [05:32] Actually i've been using suse for around 4 years now, and i've just ordered 5 dvds of ubuntu 7.1, and i'm gonna try it at my homestay .. :p [05:33] anderswc: Heh, nickrud is correct then. 'sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2' do that to php5 and libapache2-mod-php5 [05:33] only the server string... [05:33] sdakak, compiz is the newfangled 3d crazyness. metacity is the gnome window manager by default.. and gtk is the toolkit that gtk based apps use to draw widgets (buttons and stuff) [05:33] w00t`: it says press any key, and just after that it appears [05:33] sdakak: ignore the 'compiz' themes, they are misnamed and shouldn't even be on that site anymore, 'metacity' thmes are the default window border themes, and gtk2 themes theme the contents of gnome apps [05:33] so, does ubuntu have an equivalent of the windows task manager? [05:33] anderswc: then install all of them. Fresh and clean [05:33] badkitty most likly it was a bad burn [05:33] fr500, there is [05:33] adrock358: no clue, but I'll add a datapoint for you. I had a similar situation last year with feisty, where the live boot worked, the install failed. I didn't have time to track it down, so I finally installed RH on that particular old legacy box. [05:33] adrocks358: i will make a URL you can look at, in what i did to get it working if you want [05:33] chewd: gnome-system-monitor [05:33] chewd, System monitor [05:33] KyMc1985: http://losrivas21.blogspot.com/2006/04/how-to-verify-md5-checksum-of-ubuntu.html [05:33] ahh [05:33] or top :d [05:33] chewd, open a terminal, us the 'ps' command to see processes, and 'kill' to stop them. [05:33] is there a hotkey for it? [05:33] uggh... [05:33] htop is great [05:33] on the cli [05:33] can someone pls point me to the ps3 live disc as I need it badly to fix a system and I already dled the wrong one. I am assuming that the gusty version is broken as well? [05:34] Rubin: crdlb: lets talk gtk do i need 1.x or 2.x? [05:34] better than top.. especially for multi cpu [05:34] just let me back this up while its working and i will see if what i have helps [05:34] well the problem i had.. i couldnt open a terminal window.. no access to the menus [05:34] sdakak, 2 [05:34] program was stuck in fullscreen [05:34] uggh [05:34] badkitty I have had bad burns plenty of time he should reduce his burning to the speed the cd can handle [05:34] which is why i needed to kill it [05:34] where did the applet go.. [05:34] w00t`: is the workgroup the same? [05:34] fr500, do i need to change in service definitions? [05:34] chewd, do ctrl+alt+F(key) [05:34] Rubin: crdlb: talking about metacity, if i download a metacity theme would that also theme my gtk apps? [05:34] chewd, alt-f2 usually gets you a 'run' prompt.. then you could type 'gnome-terminal' in it to get a text console... [05:34] misslecommander: The backup works, but I'd never cp -R the whole dir back. Just copy back the config file that's giving you trouble. [05:34] sdakak, unknown [05:34] ZionPsyfer: one more thing: purging apache2 won't do the trick, you have to purge the packages that apache2 installs. dpkg -l '*apache* | grep ^ii gives you a list [05:35] Shadow147: Did he mention having problems? I thought he wanted to test before he had problems cause hes short on discs [05:35] Rubin: crdlb: i cant make out the difference between gtk and metacity themes. could you elaborate? [05:35] fr500, i cant see any workgroup name as same the window machine [05:35] sdakak: metacity themes theme the titlebars only [05:35] misslecommander. i know but it won't! i'm going crazy man! didn't even go to work today!!!!!! and it's not done!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how too get it to work this pretty knowledgeable guy said install with debootstrapper. it sounded like a good idea, but he told me to mount the root without dev mapper. i don't know anything about linux...i just installed it and haven't written a line of cod in my life. But I LOVE it [05:35] yea i did ctrl-alt-f2 i think it was... took me to fullscreen console... i couldnt figure out how to get back out [05:35] ended up hitting hardware reset [05:35] sdakak, metacity is the window manager. gtk is the toolkit [05:35] but when i look thru windows i can see this ubuntu machine [05:35] w00t`: hmmm [05:35] adrock358: hang in there, be back soon [05:35] sdakak, each type would affect differnt aspects of the gui [05:35] w00t`: try sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf [05:35] badkitty well I have had a similar problem with another user awhile ago [05:35] chewd ctrl-alt f7 i believe [05:35] chewd: "back out"? Back to the GUI? CTRL-ALT-F7 [05:36] Rubin: crdlb: lets talk in lay mans terms. tell me the effects of theming a toolking 'gtk'. i get the metacity part. [05:36] hey all whats upso I am very new to linux...downloading cd now [05:36] ahh [05:36] w00t`: there should be a line that says workgroup, what does it say [05:36] * chewd writes that down [05:36] sdakak, theming gtk changes how buttons look, etc [05:36] Jscob good [05:36] sdakak, best way to understand is just to try some. [05:36] Rubin: crdlb: buttons and? [05:36] rubin: shoot, i forget the switch you said is better than -R [05:36] ZionPsyfer, Ok, I purged and reinstalled everything. [05:36] Hi jacob [05:36] chewd: you have different consoles. console 7 is setup with your window manager. [05:36] misslecommander, -a . you can use 'man cp' to read about all the options. [05:36] Rubin: i tried. but would like a little info. [05:36] sdakak: gtk2 themes everything inside the window borders. gtk1 is obsolete, but a couple of apps still use it. It also themes the stuff inside the window borders [05:36] hi bad kitty [05:36] sdakak, im no theme expert. i like the default ubuntu look [05:36] misslecommander. ok, go for it, but this guy had me on the right track. i think he's right. i just have to finish this guide. getting impatient., but i have to get this done [05:36] ahh [05:37] nickrud: you don't think purging apache won't cause an install to recreate /etc/init.d/apache2? He had compiled it in the first place before he used apt. [05:37] Rubin: thats small letter a right ? [05:37] whats up so I have no idea what i am doing [05:37] chewd: do a Google search for linux virtual terminal [05:37] fr500, workgroup=workgroup [05:37] so i shouldve done ctrl-alt-f7 then i wouldve gotten a windowed console? [05:37] misslecommander, yes. short for archive [05:37] anderswc: And, what's the verdict on the /etc/init.d/apache2? [05:37] Rubin: nickrud: gtk = inside windows change -- buttons and? [05:37] my main concern is having an internet connection once I am done installing [05:37] Jacob ok when you do your burn make sure to set your burner to the speed that your cd can handle I think using a higher speed may cause aproblems [05:37] whereas f2 gets you fullscreen? [05:37] ZionPsyfer, still not there :( [05:37] sdakak, everything.. [05:37] thanks [05:37] sdakak, its up to programs though.. theres no science to it [05:37] jacob writes down [05:37] adrock358: these guys have way more experieince than me, i will just give u what i had to go through, and maybe something may help, be back [05:38] Jacob, you can always dual boot, or even test out the OS before you install it [05:38] anderswc: Alright, thanks for being patient. =) I'm learning a bunch here too. [05:38] lol [05:38] Jacob what do you use to connect to the net and ethernet card? [05:38] misslecommander, wait [05:38] pressing ctrl-alt-f7 now... getting nothing [05:38] wireless but I can use ethernet [05:38] nickrud: So all the packages listed with dpkg -l need to be purged, correct? [05:38] don't worry about it, i'll just ask someone else misslecommander [05:38] chewd: No ctrl -alt-f7 take you back in window.. [05:38] chewd: CTRL-ALT-Fn gets you to terminal N. [05:38] chewd, you need to learn about linux virtual terminals [05:38] ooooooh [05:38] okay [05:38] w00t`: ok, now on the windows PC [05:38] chewd, go google it a bit [05:38] yes i do [05:38] ZionPsyfer, BTW this is the command I used to install "apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5" [05:38] ZionPsyfer: the stuff that goes into /etc/apache2 is provided by apache2-common . And apache2 isn't really the web server, it installs one of apache2-mpm-event , apache2-mpm-prefork, or apache2-worker . prefork is the preferred one, if you don't specify [05:38] misscommander, do you know how to mount a root? [05:39] w00t`: can you tell me what is the workgroup? [05:39] linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/02/determine-virtual-terminal-you-are.html [05:39] in case I messed something up... [05:39] Jacob I would suggest use ethernet until you can get your wireless setup [05:39] * chewd is an old hand at dos [05:39] chewd, its a basic seriously important aspect of any linux system. [05:39] noted [05:39] w00t`: by default it's mshome [05:39] misslecommander, do you know how to mount a root? [05:39] yea i gathered [05:39] then I can get help if i NEED TO [05:39] chewd go to applications accessories terminal? [05:39] yes there is mshome [05:39] * KyMc1985 has to download the ISO file once again, wrong checksums... hurrah. [05:39] nickrud: Gotcha, so common is getting us. [05:39] seet [05:39] sdakak: yes [05:39] er sweet [05:39] willI eventually learn the commands? [05:39] does anyone know how to mount a root? [05:39] well i gotta go to bed [05:39] thanks for your help [05:39] Jacob: It is very likely you will ned help [05:40] ZionPsyfer: another useful command is dpkg -L , it lists the files in the package. [05:40] adrock358, root is mounted automatically during boot [05:40] thats what I fugured which led me here [05:40] fr500, we have 3 diff workgroup name [05:40] lol [05:40] Jacob once you installed the the OS go to terminal in Applications> Accessories [05:40] Jacob: If you made it this far, you will do just fine [05:40] fr500, the default "mshome, 1, 3 " [05:40] Jacob and type in the terminal sudo apt-get install xchat [05:40] nickrud: now tell me are compiz themes = emerald? [05:40] anderswc: run this and note the package names. dpkg -l '*apache*' | grep ^ii [05:41] rubin check this guidehttp://www.cs278.org/blog/ubuntu-configuration/feisty-debootstrap-encrypted-install/ see step five. i was told i'm not supposed to use dev mapp, but do it "normally" [05:41] emerald is a theme manager [05:41] sdakak, i think emerald is one sorta sub-piece of compiz [05:41] whew! all backed up, just incase something goes awry [05:41] chewd: for example, right now I am updating Hardy. There will be a new kernel and some other things. I will need to redo my video driver. When I reboot, I will use CTRL-ALT-F2 to go to a separate terminal, stop the display manager, install the new video driver via a script, and then rehe GDM.start t [05:41] Both VLC and Totem suddenly started playing videos wrong just now. Instead of picture, it just shows a bunch of colored vertical lines. Sound comes out fine. [05:41] sdakak: emerald a window border decorator [05:41] Jacob this will install xchat and u will be able to get back on to contact us [05:41] adrock358, i dont understand [05:41] adrock358: you on fiesty ? [05:41] shadow147: wil do [05:41] well, see step five rubin? [05:42] Rubin: nickrud: i use ubuntu 7.10 (i think that uses compiz-fusion) so if i want to theme my window borders do i use emerald (compiz themes), metacity themes or beryl themes? [05:42] adrock358, i do see it, but i dont get what it is [05:42] as long as I canconnect [05:42] lol [05:42] misscommander i installe gutsy fresh [05:42] Rubin: nickrud: can we use beryl themes at all in compiz-fusion? [05:42] w00t`: three workgroups on a LAN?, well, try changing the line that says workgrup=workgroup to workgroup=mshome and then restart samba again [05:42] oh ok [05:42] sdakak, 7.10 can use compiz or metacity depending on the settings [05:42] sdakak: you can use metacity themes, but most people choose to use emerald [05:42] ahhhh. it's installing debootstrapper. i know less than you my friend. thank you though. [05:42] fr500, ok i'll do that [05:42] Rubin: nickrud: can i use beryl themes? [05:42] thanks for all your help are you both on her often [05:42] adrock358: let me prepare a URL in pastebin, way too much to say in here. just from my short experience [05:42] sdakak: the beryl project is dead, but the emerald decorator it used is now used with compiz [05:42] nickrud: most is probably a bit of an exaggeration ;) [05:42] adrock358, iv used debootstrap before.. i dont understand what /dev/mapper is [05:43] I am new to xchatas well [05:43] ZionPysfer, there are 5 packages [05:43] crdlb: I use it, and I am legion :) [05:43] Both VLC and Totem suddenly started playing videos wrong just now. Instead of picture, it just shows a bunch of colored vertical lines. Sound comes out fine. How do I fix that? [05:43] Rubin: nickrud: if 'emerald' is the name given to original beryl themes (is that correct?) than what are compiz themes called? [05:43] RyanPrior: that is weird because vlc uses its own video decoders [05:43] RyanPrior: try using mplayer [05:43] Jacobjust make sure to have your ethernet cable plugged before installation and it will automatically setup your internet to your either net cable [05:43] netou: Right, so as soon as Totem started getting out of whack I tried VLC, but same deal. [05:43] Jacob: Any IRC chat client is fine, You can even use chatzilla or the default one that comes with pidgin [05:43] Jacob just make sure to have your ethernet cable plugged before installation and it will automatically setup your internet to your either net cable [05:43] crdlb: off topic a bit, is the fact that I have to use emerald --replace to apply theme modifications just me? [05:43] Hi, I'm actually on the LiveCD and trying to install... I've read somewhere that RAID were easy to setup on installation, ... now I can't see how to do this, my RAID partitions are not recognized and I can't set them back to raid partitions either.. what's wrong? [05:43] anderswc: K, take note of those. I'm testing it on my system before I have you do this. [05:43] hmm well do you understand the guide rubin? all i have to do is install gutsy with debootstrapper. that's what i was told. and that should solve my wireless problems. my problem was that my wireless works in live cd but not after i install [05:44] RyanPrior, maybe a video driver problem. [05:44] can someone pls point me to the ps3 live disc as I need it badly to fix a system and I already dled the wrong one. I am assuming that the gusty version is broken as well? [05:44] RyanPrior, they both probably use 'xv' to draw to the screen [05:44] sdakak: emerald, it was carried over when beryl merged back with compiz to create compiz-fusion [05:44] Rubin: It happened just now, though. I played one movie and it was fine, then it broke on the next one. [05:44] nickrud: that is normal in Xgl (the way ubuntu starts it) due to a bug in emerald [05:44] RyanPrior, try rebooting [05:44] anderswc: Alright, this worked on my system. [05:44] Rubin: nickrud: so compiz themes = emerald? [05:44] ok [05:44] Rubin: So I rebooted to see if that would fix it, and no dice,. [05:44] crdlb: thanks [05:44] sdakak: yes [05:44] RyanPrior, weird.. [05:44] Jacob badkitty true but xchat comes with ubuntu server preconfigured [05:44] I'm in need of help, cant get connected to the internet (neither wired nor wireless) [05:44] nickrud: and beryl themes = ? [05:44] i need some help [05:44] is there a way to like book mark you so I can find you later? [05:44] RyanPrior, what did you change? [05:44] RyanPrior: change the video output to gl in vlc [05:45] rubin dev mapper is a way to mount the drive. i was told i need to mount it, just not with dev mapp [05:45] Rubin: nothing. I was just watching movies and browsing the 'net. [05:45] on this chat client [05:45] sdakak: = dead [05:45] w00t`: let me know if it works [05:45] Jacob not tat I know of [05:45] adrock358, told by who? [05:45] ok well look out forme [05:45] lol [05:45] fr500, now i did change the workgroup [05:45] RyanPrior, try powering the system fully off for like 10 seconds and starting it up. maybe the video card is in a bad state [05:45] and restart [05:45] ZionPsyfer, so what do you want me to do? [05:46] w00t`: now try to browse [05:46] netou: How do I turn output to gl? [05:46] fr500, still dont show window machine :( [05:46] Jacob just follow the promts durning install and you will do just fine [05:46] Jacob prompts* [05:46] so i created a 5 gig partition in windows xp using magicpartition, then used live cd to get onto ubuntu. Now whenever I get to the partition part of the installation it doesn't recognize that partition. In partition editor the partition has a lock symbol next to it. How do I unlock it? It's in ntfs format. [05:46] nickrud: if i want to use compiz themes, than what would i have to do? i installed emerald-theme-manager and got one of the compiz themes from gnome-look. i didn't know how to disable metacity themes and enable the emerald theme. so i just did a reboot and now i have the emerald theme on. now if i want metacity back what do i do? (how do we easily change between the two?). i opened emerald-theme-manager and deleted my only emerald theme and did a reboot. [05:46] then i need to follow the rest of the guide, but ignore all the encryption stuff. i'm not going to lie rubin, if i get this working i will be very, very happy. i'm sorry to say. i'm on the verge of reinstalling windows [05:46] ctrl-alt backsapce? [05:46] yeah its after its insall that I am worried about [05:46] anderswc: 'sudo apt-get --purge remove' all of the packages that were listed with that dpkg -l command. After that has finished, run your 'apt-get install php5 apache2 libapache-mod-php5'. This restored my config files in /etc/ as well as /etc/init.d [05:46] RyanPrior: options -> preferences [05:46] Jacob: You plan on completely moving to ubuntu or do you want to dualboot [05:47] confuguring everything [05:47] w00t`: try a reboot, but it's weird it doesn't work [05:47] netou: Obviously that's what I tried, but I don't see an option anywhere. [05:47] not sure what do you reccomend [05:47] fr500, ok.. thanks... brb [05:47] sdakak: to change over to emerald themes, type: alt-f2 emerald --replace . To go back to metacity, type alt-f2 metacity --replace [05:47] w00t`: smb is working because you were able to access by IP [05:47] RyanPrior: video ->output modules; activate the "advance options" checkbox [05:47] Jacob thats what I did and I was able to connect to the net after installation [05:47] Jacob: Depends, if your worried... dualboot that wa yo can use both, but you need the space for it [05:47] i have the partition ready when i go to install i get a bcm43xx_microcode5.fw error then it wont finish loading? [05:47] this buy genii rubin. he really sounded like he knew what he was doing. he pulled up this guide and troubleshooted my problem in a matter of seconds almost. [05:48] so i created a 5 gig partition in windows xp using magicpartition, then used live cd to get onto ubuntu. Now whenever I get to the partition part of the installation it doesn't recognize that partition. In partition editor the partition has a lock symbol next to it. How do I unlock it? It's in ntfs format. [05:48] rubin. guy not buy [05:48] nickrud: can it be done through the gui? [05:48] adrock358, so your trying to re-install your system with an encrypted disk? [05:48] sdakak: not that I know of [05:48] I have 120 ggb [05:48] Jacob do you have a 2nd Hard Drive? [05:48] nickrud: like we have 'live' changes for metacity themes does the same apply to compiz themes? [05:48] no [05:48] Jacob ok [05:48] Jacob: Thats enough still [05:48] i have the partition ready when i go to install i get a bcm43xx_microcode5.fw error then it wont finish loading? [05:48] how do I dual boot [05:48] netou: I don't have video -> output modules. :-( [05:48] !dualboot | Jacob [05:48] Jacob: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [05:48] Jacob: What OS do you currently have? [05:49] xp [05:49] nickrud: the emerald theme that is active at the moment has been deleted by me. but still it is on. how do i remove it? [05:49] sdakak: not for me, I was just told that because I'm using ati with xserver-xgl there's a bug that requires me to do emerald --replace to apply any changes. [05:49] rubin. no. ignore all encryption stuff. just trying to install using debootstrap or with a debootstrap version. i don't even know what i'm doing besides that. i'm just following this guide because this guy said it would help me get my wireless working [05:49] RyanPrior: :S i have all in spanish so i tried to translate it [05:49] adrock358, that guide you pasted me is a guide for encrypting your hard disk... [05:49] Jacob I would suggest you split the Hard Drive in Half [05:49] anyone know why im connected to my wireless network, but im getting like 1 Kb a second [05:49] adrock358, why are you debootstrapping exactly? [05:49] so i created a 5 gig partition in windows xp using magicpartition, then used live cd to get onto ubuntu. Now whenever I get to the partition part of the installation it doesn't recognize that partition. In partition editor the partition has a lock symbol next to it. How do I unlock it? It's in ntfs format. [05:49] yeah no kidding but did you read the part about debootstrapper? rubin [05:49] ok....? [05:50] lol [05:50] adrock358: which wireless adapter? [05:50] i have the partition ready when i go to install i get a bcm43xx_microcode5.fw error then it wont finish loading? [05:50] I am very new [05:50] adrock358, there are guides for debootstrap that dont use encryption... [05:50] sdakak: We've pretty much exhausted what I know about compiz :) The people on #compiz-fusion know much more than I do [05:50] Jacob: Basically the ubuntu install does all the work for you, the main thing is setting up the partitions and making sure when you install, ubuntu knows to install only to the empty partition [05:50] nickrud: emerald --replace and metacity --replace, can be used safely in a nvidia system, right? or are there more 'correct' ways to toggle it? [05:50] i have a script that i need o run with sudo. and i want to create a launcher with it. however i don't want that it asks me for sudo's password. what should i do? [05:50] adrock358, but why not just re-install from CD? [05:50] belkin f5d7050 noeljb [05:50] so i created a 5 gig partition in windows xp using magicpartition, then used live cd to get onto ubuntu. Now whenever I get to the partition part of the installation it doesn't recognize that partition. In partition editor the partition has a lock symbol next to it. How do I unlock it? It's in ntfs format. [05:50] RyanPrior: try figuring out, i have to go to sleep [05:50] nickrud: thank you. [05:50] ok [05:50] sdakak: that's the only way I've ever seen mentioned. Like I said, #compiz-fusion knows best [05:51] i have the partition ready when i go to install i get a bcm43xx_microcode5.fw error then it wont finish loading? [05:51] rubin did you read what i said before? the woreless only works with live cd, not after install. and genii told me that i need to reinstall with debootstrapper. [05:51] badkitty so Jacob will need to partition the hard drive to make another empty partition [05:51] evw2k, linux doesnt use windows partitions. you shouldnt not create them in windows beforehand. just leave empty space [05:51] No one knows about RAIDs? [05:51] ayaw pa rin :( [05:51] so during the instalation I need to ad a partition and install ubuntu on the new patrition [05:51] k thanks can i just delete old partition? [05:51] Shadow147: Yep [05:51] how do I change what os to boot from [05:51] fr500, still can't see window machine [05:51] adrock358, that makes no sense to me. if your wifi doesnt work, debug it. debootstrap cant help any way i can think of [05:52] Jacob: When you start your pc it will give you a menu and you press up and down keys to select the system [05:52] I'm in need of help, cant get connected to the internet (neither wired nor wireless) [05:52] i have the partition ready when i go to install i get a bcm43xx_microcode5.fw error then it wont finish loading? [05:52] Jacob when grub is installing it will make itself the first bootloader to boot [05:52] rubin. ahh. thank you though. i don't get how it works. i'm here for help. i need to get my wireless card working [05:52] adrock358: what I see with google, you need to use ndiswrapper with that particular USB network adapter. [05:52] debug rubin? how? [05:52] grub part of linux not really sure what it is [05:52] that "99% of your hdd space is in use" notice I get, is there some configuration for it anywhere? as in, any place I can change the percentage it should warn on, and/or disable it altogether? [05:52] SeSsi0n: that error is probably not related to why it doesn't install. Have you run the disk check option on the start screen? [05:52] does ubuntu use AIGLX by default, or XGL? [05:53] adrock358: google is your friend: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=belkin+f5d7050+linux&btnG=Search [05:53] Jacob GRUB is ubuntu's bootloader [05:53] no i havent [05:53] noeljb. i heard there;s a much easier and better way [05:53] adrock358, debootstrap is for installing a new ubuntu install, in a subdirectory of your existing system. its sorta for advanced use really. not something i think you should have been directed into. [05:53] ok [05:53] mosno: depends on your video card, nvidia aiglx and ati xgl [05:53] do you recommend ubuntu over fedora [05:53] Jacob: Grub is a bootloader. It runs when the system is started and tells the computer how to load the various installed system [05:53] adrock358, do you have a reference to this "much easier and better way"? [05:53] nickrud: i'm running the nvidia driver from restricted-manager, so i guess its AIGLX [05:53] i have a script that i need o run with sudo. and i want to create a launcher with it. however i don't want that it asks me for sudo's password. what should i do? [05:53] nickrud: but my buddy had me press f6 then enter a code and it loaded and got stuck at 15 percent [05:53] Jacob: of course I do, I'm here [05:53] lol [05:53] Jacob which means it will allow you to boot XP/Linux [05:53] ok [05:53] SeSsi0n: still run the disk check. [05:53] anyone know why im connected to my wireless network, but im getting like 1 Kb a second [05:54] ok brb [05:54] Jacob: YEs I do.. fedora was too big for me to burn all the cd's [05:54] yeah I know the feeling [05:54] how is the GUI [05:54] luchador, some wifi drivers are not all that good.. could be that. [05:54] anyone used freenx? [05:54] much similar to MAC [05:54] ? [05:54] Jacob: it's gnome [05:54] Jacob: for GRUB? [05:54] ZionPsyfer, WOOT, WOOT! [05:54] sorry nickrud [05:54] Jacob I have 2 hard drives in my computer so I didn't have to mess with partitioning [05:54] it worked! [05:54] hi [05:54] gui+gnome? [05:55] and php works [05:55] Jacob, gui is gnome [05:55] Rubin it worked great on 6.06 [05:55] can i use yahoo messenger in ubuntu7.4 [05:55] ok [05:55] and i just put on 7.10 [05:55] with X11 [05:55] and now t wont work [05:55] anderswc: It started I take it. =) How does php look? [05:55] Jacob: in some ways, in other ways it's definitely it's own animal (I thought you were comparing fedora and ubuntu's desktops) [05:55] luchador, further evidence toward a driver bug maybe? :) [05:55] Jacob: this is not really a chat channel [05:55] it works! [05:55] so any ideas to fix? [05:55] hmmm. this guy genii knew my problem he said he knew of problems with the belkinf5d7050. he gave me a wifi docs guide from ubuntu. so many people had this problem that they actually published a guide! I was in the room troubleshooting for the original guide but he said...."no no no. That guide is outdated. there's an updated one in the post. hold on, let me find it." many peoplle had this problem. [05:55] rubin and misslecommander hmmm. this guy genii knew my problem he said he knew of problems with the belkinf5d7050. he gave me a wifi docs guide from ubuntu. so many people had this problem that they actually published a guide! I was in the room troubleshooting for the original guide but he said...."no no no. That guide is outdated. there's an updated one in the post. hold on, let me find it." many peoplle had this prob [05:55] ZionPsyfer, It was just a print statement so it's not too exciting :), but at least it works [05:56] Jacob GNOME is a gui and GRUB is a boot loader [05:56] bazhan: am I not allowed to ask questions on this channel [05:56] anderswc: haha A good ol "hello world?" [05:56] awesome [05:56] got that [05:56] Totem has no problem playing music, it even shows visualizations. I just tried rebooting, removing battery and power cord, and holding power button to drain all the power... still, when I try to play video with Totem or VLC, it shows up stripy without any resolution. [05:56] adrock358, maybe he gave you the wrong URL by mistake [05:56] Jacob: not the chit chat kind no [05:56] screw totem [05:56] pile of crap [05:56] Nice! thank you nickrud and badkitty for the help. Thanks for being patient with me anderswc. I learned a lot from your problem. =) [05:57] ZionPsyfer, now I have one more question [05:57] RyanPrior, tried multiple videos? [05:57] baxhang: I am very new to linx so I am just asking a few questions from expierenced people [05:57] bazhang hes asking linux based question [05:57] ZionPsyfer: keep coming back, persistent help can be hard to find :) [05:57] anderswc: Shoot. [05:57] rubin. nope we troubleshot it together. regardless, i don't care. can anyone help me out though. my wireless works witht he lovecd but after i install it, it doesn't. [05:57] ZionPsyfer: But of course [05:57] can anyone help me with a ubunty problem? [05:57] If I edit a file with gedit, and try to save it to /var/www [05:57] Rubin: I've tried multiple videos, including ones I've had around for months and watched before,. [05:57] adrock358, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide [05:57] It says I don't have permission. [05:57] adrock358, which version of that adapter? I see reference to version 4000 [05:57] I have an itnernet connection problem [05:57] How to disable scrolling workspaces with mouse wheel? [05:57] Danek_ruska how can I help [05:57] rubin. did that [05:57] Do I have to move all the files there from sudo? [05:58] adrock358, what part is broken? [05:58] Jacob: there are linux general help channels for that this is for folks with actual support questions using ubuntu; there is also #ubuntu-offtopic [05:58] noeljb v3 [05:58] anderswc: What says you don't have permission? to write in /var/www ? [05:58] I tried [05:58] any ideas rubin [05:58] bazhang: are you a channel moderator? [05:58] shadow 147: I can't connect to the internet from ubunty [05:58] !network [05:58] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [05:58] Rubin: If I run Totem as root, it still has the same problem. [05:58] cabrioleur: #compiz-fusion has answers to compiz questions (and faster, too) [05:59] Danek_ruska what type of internet connection are you using [05:59] luchador, google for your wifi card chipset and slow, and see if anyone else has seen it.. [05:59] Wow how do I get my hands on that OS ubunty.. that sounds badass [05:59] Jacob: he pretty much is, yes [05:59] shadow 147: DSL [05:59] RyanPrior, only thing i can think of is to mess with X settings [05:59] isn't there an easier way to do this? this bug was probably fixed in gutsy. why does it work with livecd, but no with install? Has anyone ever heard of this? [05:59] All I know is that I'm going to either lose my mind or reinstall windows if i don't get this working [05:59] anderswc: Yep, /var/www/ is owned by root and only root has write permissions. You can either do a 'sudo -i' or change the permissions recursively. Obviously doing the sudo -i is recommended for safety === thinh is now known as thinh1977 [05:59] i have a script that i need o run with sudo. and i want to create a launcher with it. however i don't want that it asks me for sudo's password. what should i do? [06:00] Rubin: Like I said, it's only videos that it's having trouble with. It can play music visualizations in the same space. Is that something that might have to do with X? [06:00] adrock358, theres a chain of about 15 things that all have to work in order for a wifi connection to be working. that guide walks you through each piece so you can troubleshoot it and find where ith break is, and then we can work on fixing it. [06:00] ZionPsyfer, so what does sudo -i do? [06:00] rubin. all these guides refer to things that have already been fixed most likely in gutsy. i'm using gutsy. and my problem is that wireless works great only on the live cd, but then after install it doesn't show any networks. [06:00] Danek_ruska what type of connection are you using an ethernet card or wireless [06:00] anderswc: sudo -i gives you a root shell, I think. [06:00] well whats ever thanks badkitty and shadow147 but apparently I am bothering people here on this channel and I have been asked to stop by bazhang I will be at #ubuntu-offtopic [06:00] adrock358, 'wifi doesnt work' isnt something we can help you with. we need details [06:00] thanks for everting [06:00] Jacob: not meaning to give you a hard time--please come on in to #ubuntu-offtopic and discuss some of these issues [06:00] Jacob: hmm is he a moderator [06:01] I know thanks for you help and I understand bazhang [06:01] thanks [06:01] EX-chat [06:01] adrock358: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_3000_(Ralink_rt73_driver) [06:01] anderswc: short story, it gives you a root shell in that terminal. you won't have to do 'sudo vi whatever.php' every time. just the normal vi whatever.php [06:01] Shadow 147 - an ethernet cord is plugged into my computer, and from there to a DSL modem, then to the telephone line [06:01] Jacob: See you soon once you have everything installed [06:01] Anyone out there that plays wow on the latest cedega? [06:01] Danek_ruska ok [06:01] Psynaut: I'm sure there are people. You can play it on Wine, too. [06:01] sorry, but whats vi ? :/ [06:02] !eithernet [06:02] anderswc: Vi is an expert text editor. [06:02] editor [06:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about eithernet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:02] ahh! [06:02] ok [06:02] Psynaut: wine with wow is very playable [06:02] !internet [06:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about internet - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:02] anderswc: It takes some getting used to if you've never used it before, but it has some really awesome features. [06:02] anderswc: substitute vi with gedit ;) [06:02] andatche, vi is a sort of traditional editor for text files.. dont try to use it without first reading a tutorial you'll get stuck [06:02] Guys, I have the following question: My Ubuntu 7.04 has never reliably switched from WiFi to wired connection and back, generally I always just rebooted (network daemons). I do run "Network Tool" in the menu, which allows me to switch manually, although samba daemons still need to be rebooted, but is there a way to do it automatically? [06:02] I am sure there are too :) I just need to talk with some people who do because I am getting laggy rendering in game and need to fix it :) [06:02] ? [06:02] oh, anderswc don't play with vi , use gedit or nano [06:03] how do i make my numlock start at boot [06:03] shadow, what do you mean? [06:03] Why discourage vi use? It's a common and useful tool. [06:03] softtower, that stuff got fixed a lot with 7.10 you might just try upgrading [06:03] nickrud: I always liked nano [06:03] does wine run wow better than cedega? [06:03] hey guys, I was wondering how I can check to see how much ram I have by cli [06:03] Psynaut, wow with wine [06:03] I payed for a month of cedega [06:03] Psynaut: It depends on the version of Wine and Cedega you're talking about. They both work well. [06:03] from my previous reception in this room. everyone was surprided that wireless didn't work after install. Everyone was like "What? We've never heard of that." so I'm wondering if this in itself is a bug--the not working after install wireless. all the guides you guys are showing me i can either not use them, or i have used them. besides, those are old guide. don't you think they would have fixed the problem in the newer r [06:03] and how do i make my splash screen go in verbose with the splash screen still there [06:03] softtower: the 7.04 networkmanager was like that. The one in gutsy works _much_ better [06:03] and am not impressed [06:03] ogre: free -m, or run top [06:03] Danek_ruska I beleive you need you run a setup I just can't remember which one [06:03] Rubin, thank you. I have to wait out though. 7.10 won't play nice with my video card (long story). Fucking ATI/AMD... [06:03] anderswc: If you're not familiar with it, definitely stick with your prefered editor. The point being you don't have to prefix all your commands with 'sudo' [06:03] softtower, ahh. [06:03] rubin from my previous reception in this room. everyone was surprided that wireless didn't work after install. Everyone was like "What? We've never heard of that." so I'm wondering if this in itself is a bug--the not working after install wireless. all the guides you guys are showing me i can either not use them, or i have used them. besides, those are old guide. don't you think they would have fixed the problem in the [06:03] (06:03:33 AM) RyanPrior: Psynaut: It depends on the version of Wine and Cedega you're talking about. They both work well. [06:04] Shadow, where might I be able to find it? [06:04] I am running Cedega 6.0.5 and everything is laggy :S [06:04] softtower: what ati card do you have? [06:04] softtower, you could try grabbing JUST the kernel from 7.10 using pinning. [06:04] help: just installed ubuntu today and can get ati radeon 9250 card driver. restricted drivers says "no restricted drivers needed" so i cant install it that way. ive read a few tutorials but all of them say do sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx. but i cant install that i get an error [06:04] adrock358, please dont repeat, it creates a small flood [06:04] softtower, FYI: watch the language. This forum is permanently archived. [06:04] Danek_ruska well usually ubuntu detects right away [06:04] Ellement, what is the error? [06:05] Rubin: thanks alot buddy [06:05] Shadow: I tried ipconfig or putting auto detection on, that didn't work [06:05] soldats. you wouldn't like me to cause a big flood, would you? [06:05] adrock358, its obviously a bug. we would all love if your wifi worked out of the box. its complicated though. [06:05] Danek_ruska go here https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/internet/C/connect.html [06:05] nickrud: I have ATI FireGL v5200 on Thinkpad T60p [06:05] the only thing more complicated than wireless is sound [06:06] NoelJB, thanks for advice. [06:06] adrock359: sorry took so long [06:06] adrock358, but like. is the device there? can you see access points? are you connecting but not getting an IP? etc etc. where is it broken exactly? [06:06] nickrud: isn't that the truth [06:06] adrock358, you posted a statement and the same one directed to someone, just remember to not repeat the same thing [06:06] badkitty: remember when a layman could understand alsa? [06:06] for all of those ATI'ers out there [06:06] here is my noob leading the blind tutorial on wireless networks [06:06] I've found this very helpful [06:06] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [06:06] Rubin, kernel is the most problematic piece of 7.10 - it has a new memory allocator that does not work with ATI proprietary drivers for my card. [06:06] rubin. it does work! just not in real os. look thanks guys. I'm going to split. maybe I'll see you later on. Thank you again for all your help [06:07] softtower, ahh. Might be kinda stuck then [06:07] soldats. thanks but do you really think that i meant to do that? i was copying a past post with no name ID [06:07] nickrud: No not at all..Im a noob, but but so much where I haven't had to deal with both issues for a while [06:07] Shadow: thanks, but it dosn't detect my modem, or can't work with it (I tried that before) [06:07] thanks ampex! [06:07] Rubin: "The following packages have unmet dependencies: xorg-driver-fglrx Depends: libstdc++5 (>=1:3.3.4-1) but is not installable. E: Broken packages [06:07] how do i make my numlock start at boot [06:07] softtower: the latest ati driver provides suspend with slub, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide will help you install it [06:07] pastebin said i was spamming [06:07] Rubin, I don't complain. My current setup is better than anything else I've used before. [06:08] lol [06:08] Anyeone familiar with freeNX?! [06:08] softtower, i was in the same boat with my thinkpad.. 7.10 fixed it all up for me though. [06:08] ampex: heh, I see you posted it already :0 [06:08] softtower, wonder if the hardy kernel would work? [06:08] well... ThinkPads are nice machines to run Linux on. [06:08] adrock358: i will have to give you cut-down version [06:09] softtower: it's soooo nice to just close the lid again [06:09] nickrud, everything works fine on my thinkpad. every possible feature: standby/hibernate/lid, etc [06:09] i feel like i need to smoke 5 cigarettes after this [06:10] softtower, mine had a lot of issues, but most are solved now. just some intel 965 3d problems (endgame screensaver locks the whole thing up) [06:10] how can i make a ubuntu live cd in usb? [06:10] Danek_rusak you may have to change your modem to another pci port it could have goe bad [06:10] o well, pastebin keeps telling me i am a spammer, i onyl wrote a few pastebins, and i am a psammer lol [06:10] When I was buying it I specifically looked for Linux-compatible hardware. It's the video card that gives me problems with 7.10 but those problems are temporary. ATI is releasing drivers every couple of months, so I'm ok. Thanks. [06:10] does anyone know the forum url where it tells you how to install firefox 32 bit version on 64 bit system? [06:10] hey how do you get a moving backround on ubuntu [06:10] like [06:10] Rubin: "The following packages have unmet dependencies: xorg-driver-fglrx Depends: libstdc++5 (>=1:3.3.4-1) but is not installable. E: Broken packages [06:10] softtower: with feisty mine did also, but I fussed with compiling a custom kernel so I could suspend (I hadn't done that in years). It's nice to use the standard ubuntu one again [06:10] Danek_rusak well your ethernet card [06:10] misslecommander, try pastebin.ca [06:10] is there anyway to get this working while booted on my live cd. that would be perfect. otherwise i'm going to have to reboot everytime i want to use th internet [06:10] adrock358: lol... yeah thats odd you are having wireless issues with gutsy.. I know edgy and dapper had some serious support issues [06:10] i want to make a mini ubuntu live cd ,how can i do ? [06:10] Shadow: internet works just fine on my Windows XP [06:10] Ellement, hmm. are you doing anything weird with package sources? [06:10] hi guys, trying to convert an avi to ipod video format. got the following error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52368/ [06:10] Rbuin: i already dumped it, gone, poof, he is on his own [06:10] how do you get a moving backround with ubuntu. like if i wanted a matrix picture with the moving numbers...

[06:11] huh [06:11] ok like if i wanted a backround with a picture that moves. where would i get that for ubuntu [06:11] Danek_rusak hmm [06:11] compy, does 64-bit Linux run 32-bit binaries? [06:11] nintendonerd282: did you try a google search [06:11] nintendonerd282, as in .gif [06:11] well not like gif [06:11] nintendonerd282, maybe by putting a screensaver into the 'root' window? [06:12] badkitty. i'm dying. i need to get my wireless working! I didn't even go to work today! of course i don't really need to switch from windows, but i like ubuntu better, [06:12] i have wireless working on my ubuntu [06:12] Rubin: am complete ubuntu newbie so i have no idea. [06:12] how do i delete all files inside a folder? (terminal cmd) [06:12] adrock358, you dont really want to fix it. you just want to be frustrated. [06:12] from my own experience, some of the stuff i didnt need to do, using ndiswrapper was alot of time wasted, when the wifi card already had the correct driver, i just needed to configure it [06:12] softtower, umm no clue... i haev had flash working before but i cant find the instructions anymore after my reinstall [06:12] rubin. no, i just want someone to fic it for me. [06:12] adrock358: yeah I understand your pain... I felt that in dapper... i actually bought a new wireless card to ease my suffering [06:12] celske, rm folder/* [06:12] Shadow: any ideas?

[06:18] nickrud: But newer folks can ease into things with synaptic since it is similar to say.. add/remove programs [06:18] i started learning about partitioning so i could install ubuntu 7.10. i accidentally formated a drive i didn't want formatted. but luckily linux has many recovery progs. i used testdisk to recover and it worked. [06:18] Is there a way to set it so that Ubuntu picks preferred wireless networks but can still roam? [06:19] can avant window navigator completely replace gnome-panel, or will my gnome session suffer? [06:19] nintendonerd282, then find a package called restricted drivers manager and ubuntu restricted extras [06:19] brownie17: Give Convertit a try, it's a gui frontend for converting, and it has a ipod option. [06:19] Rubin, what next [06:19] linux is way better than windows [06:19] oh never mind [06:19] lol [06:19] I like synaptic and aptitude is "da bomb" too [06:19] misslecommander, make the room ##ado*** [06:19] EADG_, thanks [06:19] badkitty: yes. I usually suggest synaptic and a few commands (like ctl-f) . And synaptic does some things aptitude doesn't, like show packages by origin easily [06:19] I need of help, I cant get connected to the internet (neither wired nor wireless)..... [06:20] nano_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=25557 [06:20] nano__ rather. [06:20] anyone know how to use the upgrade manager to upgrade to hardy now? [06:20] jordoex, not upgrade manager.. but i can tell you how to do it on the commandline [06:21] meh, i know how to do that [06:21] jordoex, you cannot upgrade to hardy now via upgrade manager [06:21] jordoex: If you don't know how to upgrade to Hardy, you probably shouldn't be upgrading to Hardy. [06:21] Hardy is still in development though eh [06:21] which audio player will sync with an ipod or a creative mp3 player [06:21] using the cli upgrade manager or apt-get dist-uprade? [06:21] nintendonerd282: Rhythmbox, Banshee, Amarok, Exaile [06:21] jordoex: unless you plan on fixing a moving target, you might want to wait till mid feb , after feature freeze [06:21] Rubin: Mind, I am getting a signal, its just that when trying to load any page it times out [06:21] rythmbox supports ipod? their site said they didnt [06:21] w/e [06:21] lol [06:21] ok [06:22] nano_, do you have an IP address? [06:22] do i haev to install drivers for a Creative MP3 player on ilnux? [06:22] arg, i really want projectM now and the compiled version won't work on amarok for some reason [06:22] rythmbox supports ipods [06:22] nintendonerd282, my ipod touch does not show up in Rhythmbox. [06:22] thanks [06:22] oh [06:22] well [06:22] my ipod is an ipod shuffle XD [06:22] i have a creative zen vision: M [06:22] My stupid Motorola phone does, though :-) [06:22] that i want to sync [06:22] Rubin: Yes [06:22] jordoex: keep a gutsy partition, and install hardy on another. That way when things that you must have break, you can still get work done [06:22] nintendonerd282, rythmebox, but I ... as softtower is discovering, Apple has made changes to lock out 3rd parties. [06:23] nano_, are you using a router to connect to the internet? [06:23] do i have to install the creative software with wine? [06:23] Rubin: Yes [06:23] nintendonerd282, you need to use the ipod plugin in rythmbox, also using a creative should show up as well via usb [06:23] nano_, is your ip address 192.168.*something*? [06:23] softtower: there is a nice tutorial on ubuntu-forums to get the Touch up and running with gtkpod. [06:23] ok [06:23] meh, I'll wait, i did wait for 8 months for kde4 [06:23] thanhks [06:23] nickrud: Or use virtualbox and test it out so you dont have to deal with partitioning [06:23] jordoex: You're probably better trying to get ProjectM to compile from source than upgrading to Hardy. I'm on Hardy now and it's been pretty rough. [06:23] Rubin: Yep [06:23] nano_, whats the something? [06:23] EADG_, thank you but I hate iPods. :-) I bought it just for fun, my gf is using it now. [06:23] badkitty: better advice, true [06:24] hmm, 1.0 [06:24] * nickrud keeps a couple spare partitions Just In Case [06:24] RyanPrior: thanks, I'll wait, i did compile and for some reason it doesn't work [06:24] that "99% of your hdd space is in use" notice I get, is there some configuration for it anywhere? as in, any place I can change the percentage it should warn on, and/or disable it altogether? [06:24] well... do mp3 players show up in the file tree? i want to like add music to certain folders [06:24] nano_, erm... your ip address is 192.168.1.0? [06:24] * soldats keeps a few extra hdds just in case [06:24] Rubin: let me confirm [06:24] nickrud: haha do you really? They must be secondaries... can only have 3 logical right? [06:25] jordoex: At the same time, if you would like to experience a full-immersion tutorial in Ubuntu bug reporting, go ahead and upgrade away. :-D [06:25] badkitty: as far as linux is concerned, a logical is identical to a primary for All Practical Purposes ;) [06:25] Does anyone know how to fix laggy rendering issues and low fps in Wow while using cedega 6.0.5??? [06:26] nickrud: Right... yet another reason to use it over m$ [06:26] Psynaut: Make sure your graphics card is supported right. [06:26] Psynaut: What do you get on glxgears? [06:26] Psynaut: you should probably find a cedega channel for that help [06:26] rubin: restricted-manager: depends: synaptic but it is not installable. preDepends python-notify [06:26] PSyKo, cedega is a closed source commercial application. we dont really want to support it...

[06:30] Odd-rationale, will try that :) [06:30] anyone know how to make totem play .avi files? I thought I had the codecs to do this... apparently I don't... which package do I need? [06:30] nickrud, if he is on a default install with an NVIDIA gpu, he is running it [06:30] vegpuff, yes. but also if you mess up can make your system text-mode only :) depends on your level of hackerness [06:30] I am on normal [06:30] phreck: yup, but that's a positive check, not an assumption [06:30] RyanPrior: nah, i don't want to go back to using windows for 2 months because of a couple annoying bugs in ubuntu [06:30] normal nickrud [06:31] chr11: Look at medibuntu [06:31] Rubin: warning message parser reports malformed message packet [06:31] Rubin: timed out [06:31] nano_, whoa [06:31] ty [06:31] chr11, open synaptic and search for avi codecs [06:31] nano__: one sec [06:31] Rubin: Ok [06:31] Psynaut: have you done the tweaks on the Config.wtf file?

[06:32] already have libdevcss2 and w32codecs installed... that's all that pops up in synaptic when I search for medibuntu... do I need a different repository? [06:32] narothepharoh: you have to install unrar though [06:32] marx2k, cant you use the package manager to do it? [06:33] nickrud, u there ? [06:33] vegpuff: Are you registered, and can I pm you? [06:33] Hm I installed it from a downloaded deb [06:33] Psynaut: edit it and put this line in: SET gxApi "opengl" [06:33] chr11: yep google medibuntu [06:33] FluxD: hanging in for a few more minutes [06:33] Just downloaded the ISO of 7.10, won't get past the ISOLINUX 3.36, it comes up "Boot Failed: Press a key to retry" [06:33] yeah Odd-rationale sure!

[06:34] badkitty: what r u talking about ? [06:34] nickrud, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm I did that as you said before to change login manager. As root it worked but now as a sudo user I dont get anything [06:34] Psynaut: That'll force opengl versus directx. [06:34] I need [06:34] ghosTM55: Just seeing if I can help folks and learn new things in the process [06:34] Rubin: how do you all do it, you can help 3 people at once ? [06:34] How do i install Java on my ubuntu ? [06:34] Rubin: not on the pc with linux but it just says do not edit, then nameserver 192.168.1.1 [06:34] Zionpsyfer: alright gonna do that right now. does it matter where in the config file I put that line? [06:34] misslecommander, fast eyes [06:34] misslecommander, takes practice :) [06:34] !java | CruCio [06:34] CruCio: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [06:34] FluxD: strange, I'd expect there to be no difference [06:35] nickrud, it showed me a blue screen before but nothing now [06:35] badkitty: ;-) , i'm installing Windows XP on my Virtual box [06:35] nano__: what kind of router is it? seems like its sending bad dns replies to you [06:35] <- slow eyes, out of practice [06:35] umm [06:35] Psynaut: Nope, I usually just put it at the end. [06:35] ghosTM55: Good one! [06:35] wtf...

One of the lines is: No ultimately trusted keys found [06:36] nano__, you could override resolv.conf with some dns servers that are known to work. (and tell dhcpclient NOT to overwrite it next lease!)

Don't worry about it [06:36] i still am not unable to install java [06:36] please help [06:37] marx2k_, oh whoops i thought you were trying to remove it [06:37] Rubin: Ok, sounds good [06:37] marx2k I dont think thats what youre trying to do though [06:37] FluxD: sudo -i (you'll see a root prompt) then do the dpkg-reconfigurer [06:37] nano__, http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.os.linux.networking/2005-09/0088.html seems to be the same issue as you. [06:37] use dpkg -i instead of apt-get @ marx2k_ [06:37] Psynaut: K, they say that happens sometimes though I've never seen it. Add this to the end of Config.wtf to disable the opening movies: SET movie "0" [06:37] CruCio: what up ? unable to install JAVA environment?

I'm still not able to get synaptic to not complain, about unauthenticated packages when I select universe/multiverse packages [06:38] i have used terminal [06:38] all the help [06:38] i could google [06:38] Zionpsyfer: Getting the same error.

[06:38] doesn't work [06:38] marx2k_: in synaptic if you click the origin tab, anything that is installed not in a current repo, will be listed under Local [06:38] FluxD: never used putty into a ubuntu box, so if something strange is going on ...

[06:50] misslecommander: I can't answer that because I don't know :| [06:50] so No help right ? [06:50] for Java installation ? [06:50] Rubin: it says supersede domain-name fugue.com home.vix.com [06:50] soldats, is it /etc/rc.d [06:50] Psynaut: No, you're not. the fglrxinfo | grep Direct should return a line that says Yes, if you're in accelerated mode. [06:50] fr500: was that you who helped me with the ISO mount via smb mount? [06:51] Zionpsyfer: isn't fglrx ATI???

What is the command to end all apt processes? [06:52] !info rc.d [06:52] Package rc.d does not exist in gutsy [06:52] Rubin: Ok [06:52] Psynaut: if it says you need to install the nvidia-gtk-new, then you are not running in accelerated mode. [06:52] CruCio: I had asked to pastebin your entire command and error output [06:52] ?rc.d [06:52] nano__: so just like that only take out the # in front and change it.. :) [06:52] misslecommander: I have already installed the nvidia-gtk-new [06:53] rubin: well got fglrx to install which is good. but restricted drivers still not working. so still cant install ati driver [06:53] where does thunderbird store emails. the upgrade killed my data on ubuntu [06:53] Rubin: The whole file is an example... [06:53] Psynaut: but that will tell you if it is enabled, those require you to be in accelerated mode [06:53] Rubin: says its a sample config file [06:53] Ellement, sorry im not really an expert in ati drivers. did you try running the restricted drivers manager? [06:53] is there a compiler with a gui i can install from the add programs? [06:53] When will Ubuntu use the /proc/kcore file? [06:53] icesword: there's several places things are started, what are you looking for?

I am digging through a lot of stuff myself being new and all as well :D [06:54] umm [06:54] cookiemonster: Much source code comes with directions on how to compile it [06:54] does anyone can make a smil ubuntu live cd on usb ??? [06:54] yea but it gives me errors [06:54] wont let me install it [06:54] rubin: thats ok ur help has been very useful. when i go to system settings > advanced > restricted drivers i get a popup saying " u dont need any restricted drivers" [06:55] !idle | cookiemonster [06:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about idle - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:55] Psynaut: ok, i just want to warn you, nothing worse than a complete system failure and a need for comple reinstall [06:55] cookiemonster: a gui won't help, you need to resolve the errors, usually with required libraries [06:55] wenbo, google around, i think theres a few debian and ubuntu liveboot options for usb keys [06:55] =[ [06:55] and they say linux is easier than windows [06:55] astro76, by,now i only found that /etc/rc.d/init.d store the information,but still don't know how it works [06:55] ;p [06:55] misslecommander: I am prepared for it lol. [06:55] cookiemonster, noone ever said that. [06:55] ill go play with it for aminute [06:55] my pc speaker keeps beeping as i type, only does it after a few hours of running the system [06:56] icesword: is your program a true daemon, or just a script? because you can add things to rc.local [06:56] Rubin: says i dont have the permission to save the file [06:56] wenbo: For sure this is a usb boot tutorial if you want to try slackware [06:56] Psynaut: Have you put your xorg.conf up on paste.ubuntu-nl.org yet? [06:56] nano__, you need to use sudo to edit it. its a root owned file [06:56] Psynaut: this my second install, although its not hard to install, getting everything back is [06:56] sudo edit? [06:56] astro76, no,it is not a daemon,a dialer,which i use to gain ip address [06:56] nano__: in a terminal, run sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [06:57] zionpsyfer: no I haven't. [06:57] nano__: sudoedit [06:57] how do I start ssh daemon? [06:57] MasterNix, install the package called 'ssh' [06:57] how do i login as root [06:57] icesword: it should be run before you log in or after? [06:57] cookiemonster, sudo -s [06:57] !sudo | cookiemonster [06:57] cookiemonster: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. [06:57] w00ttttttt... now i have a clue in my problem! re:windows machine in LAN! [06:57] Q: how to remove package conflict ? :-/ [06:57] errrm [06:57] wenbo: You can even check out http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [06:58] its about the firestarter! [06:58] the readme says i need to run it under root [06:58] astro76, yes, i want it run after i log in [06:58] i think he has it [06:58] tockitj, whats the error exactly? you can try to remove affected packages with apt-get remove .. or sometimes apt-get -f install will resolve things. [06:58] doesn't ubuntu come with ssh? [06:58] cookiemonster: try sudo -i [06:58] Rubin, E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. [06:58] Rubin: And change hostname to what? [06:58] cookiemonster: yes sudo allows to run a command as root, sudo -s or sudo -i gives a root shell [06:58] how do i uninstall firestarter? in add/remove.... lemme try that :) [06:58] !startup | icesword [06:58] icesword: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [06:58] MasterNix: I dont think so [06:58] MasterNix, the ssh package installs the sshd (server) [06:58] and the ssh client [06:58] Rubin, apt-get -f instnall # produces same message [06:59] nano__: anything you want really. [06:59] tockitj, paste it to pastebin.ca so we can see exactly whats up [06:59] astro76, yes,i will see that,thank you [06:59] Rubin: Oh really now? :D [07:00] nano__: its just for advanced cases [07:00] its sent to the dhcpserver i think, and is used as a default search domain if you type a host without a domain === toc is now known as tockitj [07:00] and after i do all of this... restart? [07:00] ok he installed ssh and sshd how do we start the deamon please? [07:00] MasterNix, I'd have to check, but I believe that the desktop installs just install the ssh client, and you have to install the server. I suspect that the server installs install the ssh server by default. [07:00] link [07:00] nano__: yeah.. or even unplug and replug should do it. [07:00] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52373/ [07:01] the laptop? [07:01] MasterNix, it should start by itself.. but /etc/init.d/anything start|stop|restart etc is how you manage services [07:01] Rubin: I'm going to connect wirelessly [07:01] i have this .rpm program (maya 8), how could i make it work for ubuntu? [07:01] i've heard the use of alien command is not recommended so, there is another way? [07:01] Does anyone here use Digg? [07:01] nano__: give it a try ;) [07:01] MasterNix: Try /etc/ini.d/ssh ?? [07:02] Astro how do i clear my history and delete all the stuff my ubuntu saves while browsing the internet ? [07:02] init.d** [07:02] niuq: its not reccomended for people who dont know what they are doing. its ok in some cases [07:02] Does anyone have any idea why my vhost that is enabled and the servername matches my domain name exactly isn't working? [07:02] niuq, if your trying to install an RPM, get the ubuntu version of whatever it is instead [07:02] and how do i save link as faverite ? [07:02] Rubin: i haven't found a ubuntu version for maya [07:02] Taggard, vhost? [07:03] CruCio: in firefox it's tool>clear private data, as for your other problem, it would be nice to see the exact command and output copied and pasted from the terminal, not one line of output out of context [07:03] Rubin: Apache virtual host [07:03] MasterNix: /etc/iniit.d/ssh start ought to do it. [07:03] niuq: you can use alien or compile the code yourself.. [07:03] Rubin, problems started when i have added "http://ppa.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu" as third-party repository [07:03] thanks NOel [07:03] NoelJB, [07:03] Taggard, some people posted this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66859 which seems to suggest you can do it with alien [07:03] MasterNix: Isn't that what I siad earlier? [07:03] CruCio: you can also try fix broken packages in synaptic, but it should be the same as apt-get install -f I think [07:03] !lamp [07:03] Rubin: i just get the .rpm, how can i compile that? [07:03] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:03] MasterNix, I'll assume you fixed my "ii" typo :-) [07:03] Taggard, oh. try #apache [07:04] Rubin: No Go [07:04] niuq: is it closed source? [07:04] now my ubuntu & window machine working properly :) [07:04] nano__: cat the resolv.conf again and make sure your changes stayed [07:04] Rubin: i think it is, maya 8 for 3d animation [07:04] fr500, you there? i solved my problem :) [07:04] Rubin: Good idea [07:04] all my broken packages had been corrected [07:04] niuq: rpms are usually pre-compiled binaries [07:04] so the -f didn't really work [07:04] kdubois: i think it is, maya 8 for 3d animation [07:04] hey everyone im back [07:04] fr500, thanks for the help! if you can see this :) [07:05] the last time i said i lost my password [07:05] niuq: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=66859 [07:05] Rubin: mm ok... didn't really help me, sorry [07:05] i forgot my gmail password... so can anyone here send me a reset email again? [07:05] Firestarter is the problem :) [07:05] astro , you got java installed on you're ubuntu ? [07:05] CruCio: yes [07:05] am on my ps3 [07:05] :| [07:05] how ? [07:05] CruCio: seriously? [07:05] astro76: hey thx [07:06] yes [07:06] CruCio: that's powerpc, java won't work on that [07:06] am using ubuntu(PS3) [07:06] AFAIK [07:06] same nameserver 192.168.1.1 [07:06] nano__, so it overwrote it again. [07:06] niuq: you can use alien to convert the package, or you can manually extract the files and place them in their proper location. the second route is not advised, but should work nonetheless [07:06] actually it chould === narg_ is now known as narg [07:06] is Xchat and VLC player does [07:06] my filesystem just turned only readable :S any fix for this? [07:06] i have a problem with wifi router? help [07:06] i don't see wht it shouldn't [07:06] nano__: go ahead and reboot to make sure dhcpclient is reading your changed config file. then edit the resolv.conf again and then try it... [07:07] if says invailded ip address -- not working [07:07] lazy247x: Whats the problem [07:07] CruCio: xchat and vlc are opensource softwares which can be recompiled for different architectures [07:07] i just typed in apt-get install Xchat [07:07] astro76: [07:07] lazy247x: That is for the router's IP? [07:07] Rubin: Hold on a sec [07:07] but i really think ubuntu should work [07:07] because === jordoex is now known as jordoex|away [07:07] PS3 -> PowerPC [07:07] what do u mean? [07:08] !enter > CruCio [07:08] its a links router [07:08] i tryed connecting to my router but doesnt work [07:08] lazy247x: Is the router giving you that error, or the machine trying to connect to the router? [07:08] CruCio: that's great, and it does, except that java is closed source so you're at Sun's mercy of providing binaries [07:08] CruCio: see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#head-81c3789bc76872336f69a7af90d1759ef38eeb64 [07:08] i thought java was gpl now? [07:08] hello, I've installed the newest version of xserver-xorg-core (2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8.1) and I could not start eclipse anymore. [07:08] lazy247x: Is your router set for dhcp? [07:08] yes [07:09] Is your box set to get IP from router or set as a static IP? [07:09] does anyone ahve similar problems? [07:09] can my comcast have an internet problem [07:09] hmm [07:09] no [07:09] its work earlyer today [07:09] i still can't get myself into believing this [07:09] lazy247x: Did you reset the router? [07:09] no [07:09] what these files are?/etc/rc.d/rc0.d rc1.d... [07:10] lazy247x: Any other pc's connected to the router? [07:10] Q: apt-get related problem, how could this be fixed: "E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages." [07:10] icesword, they tell the system what to start and stop for various modes (runlevels) [07:10] can i do it from an computer or do i have to reset it from the box [07:10] ya one other computer [07:10] anybody has an idea about flash for ubuntu user? [07:10] is there a way to make VLC rebuild the index of a video file or something like that? i seem to be getting a lot of dropped frames... but the audio continues flawlessly [07:10] flash maker [07:10] lazy247x: You usually can reset it from a computer if you can get into the routers config pages [07:11] emman, like flash mx [07:11] how do i do that? [07:11] lazy247x, pull the power plug on it.. count to 10, plug it back in. [07:11] emman: like flash cs3? [07:11] how do i get windows to read a linux partition [07:11] Rubin: now its not even timing out [07:11] cookiemonster, http://www.fs-driver.org/ [07:11] yes [07:11] lazy247x: Although if that other computer is able to access internet it's not an issue with the router having connectivity with the SP [07:11] Rubin, i see,thank you,but i enter rc0.d ,i found k00xfs....what is that?why does it have k00 something? [07:11] flash mx [07:11] emman: you have to use wine and run flash mx through that [07:11] emman: i've tested flash 8 on ubuntu it works pretty well, you should use wine [07:12] icesword, dpkg -S /path/to/file will tell you what package is responsible for a file [07:12] join ##windows [07:12] cookiemonster: I think there is a good programm from the same makers as driveimagexml [07:12] Rubin, so linux has six runlevel? [07:12] emman, i dont think its possible, not even through wine. but that was a while back. it may be possible with wine but its a question for #winehq [07:12] badkitty: virtualbox running toooooooo slow T_T [07:12] icesword, i guess. i only ever use 1 and 2 ;) [07:12] i mean equivalent to mx. an open source flashmx [07:12] hello, I've installed the newest version of xserver-xorg-core (2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8.1) and I could not start eclipse anymore. [07:12] niuq, flash 8 isnt flash mx [07:12] icesword: Here's a good quickie explanation. =) http://www.help2go.com/Tutorials/Linux%10UNIX/Linux_Runlevels.html [07:12] ghosTM55: What are you trying to run? What are your system specs? How much virtual memory di you give it ;-p [07:12] Rubin, so you do not use x,you are great [07:13] icesword, er, i do use x [07:13] badkitty: 256mb memory for it [07:13] soldats: just an older version? [07:13] ghosTM55: Well thats why haha, how much RAM does your physical pc have? [07:14] I can't connect to him. his sshd is started [07:14] now what? [07:14] Java doesn't work on PowerPC right ? [07:14] badkitty: 512mb , it's an old box [07:14] icesword, each distro of linux does runlevels differently. ubuntu uses 2 for normal startup [07:14] you said astro [07:14] any open source software like flash mx? [07:14] Rubin, yes i see [07:14] What did I do D=! [07:14] niuq, flash 8 is an old version but its for playing .flv files. flash mx is a studio enviroment to create and edit flash movies and videos etc [07:14] All videos are playing in black and white [07:14] that "99% of your hdd space is in use" notice I get, is there some configuration for it anywhere? as in, any place I can change the percentage it should warn on, and/or disable it altogether? === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen [07:15] MasterNix, can you ping his IP address? [07:15] CruCio: this page says https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#head-81c3789bc76872336f69a7af90d1759ef38eeb64 [07:15] CruCio: you should read that link you were given. [07:15] ghosTM55: Well you should give it as much as your physical computer has... virtual windows can be slow...(regular windows is slow!!! virtual can only be as good at best [07:15] badkitty: i want to get a vmware to work on my ubuntu , but i don't know where to download it , i googled it before , but failed [07:15] hi [07:15] wobblywu, its a bad idea to run that close to full hard disk.. you'll get terribly fragmented etc. why doyo uwant to disable it? [07:15] rubin: am doing manual driver install now. i have to type the command sudo gedit .... except console saying gedit command not found [07:15] !vmware [07:15] 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 [07:15] What package do I have to install to get "mkinitrd"? [07:15] MasterNix, can you expand on "I can't connect to him" [07:15] ghosTM55, see above [07:15] ghosTM55: Why?VMWARE wont be any faster [07:15] Rubin, I don't want to disable it, I want to put it on 90 or 95% [07:15] Ellement, huh. no gedit? is this ubuntu or kubuntu or what? [07:15] no I can't ping him :-( [07:16] badkitty: i see [07:16] wobblywu, ahh [07:16] hmm [07:16] Rubin, it currently triggers once I have <1MB left, which is just worthless [07:16] im trying to set up compiz for my newbie friend NoelJB [07:16] vim is my favorite editor [07:16] Rubin, gedit is optional at install afaik [07:16] astro you're using X86 ? [07:16] vegpuff: Are you still there? [07:16] CruCio: yes [07:16] ghosTM55, I use VMware all the time. You get VMware from www.vmware.com. You can install Player or Server for free. Workstation and ESX are fee-based. [07:16] NoelJB: it's free ??? [07:16] Rubin, i'm aware of the fragmentation issues, but until someone makes either an ext3 defrag or I buy a new hdd that's something I'll have to live with :) [07:16] ohh wll [07:16] MasterNix, is his server on a public IP address? [07:16] guess am screwed [07:16] insert to edit, 'esc' :w to write, 'esc' :q to quit [07:16] in vim [07:16] there are lots of cheat sheets [07:17] ghosTM55, VMware Server (successor to VMware GSX) is free. [07:17] CruCio: did you read that link? [07:17] it doesn't leave garbage files around [07:17] ghosTM55, As is VMware Player. [07:17] NoelJB: i see , thx a lot , i'll have a look at it , is there any diff between player and server? [07:17] CruCio, how so? [07:17] NoelJB: You know what pissed me off.. It took me days to get the ID to install VMWARE again... and when I installed a newer one on my GF's laptop, it installed everything except for the actual player and server [07:17] Hope they fix this problem on the upcoming Hardy Heron [07:17] ghosTM55, VMware Workstation (premimum over Player) is not free, nor is VMware ESX (premium over Server). [07:17] Rubin: it keeps changing the second nameserver to the old one [07:18] ghosTM55, yes, major differences. [07:18] NoelJB: i see , thx [07:18] nano_, hmm. it goes in order, so that might be ok [07:18] NoelJB: maybe player is suitable for me [07:18] but its still timing out [07:18] badkitty, I'd need more detail. I've installed VMware (Workstation) on XP, Vista, Feisty, Gutsy and Hardy. [07:18] Rubin: but its still timing out [07:18] nano__so resolv.conf says what exactly? [07:18] Well, also NT, 2000, etc, since I've used it since the late '90s. [07:19] apparently in order to play an avi file... there has to be something in it [07:19] Rubin, yes ,i got it,the file start with s means start,k means kill , [07:19] I had all the right codecs [07:19] NoelJB: I mean when it installed in vista it installed the everything necessary exceot the actual player and server. For example the network connections were setup but when I navigate to run it, it simply wasn't there [07:19] nothing in the files to play [07:19] Rubin: that same error "Kernel panic" is happening again with v7.10 x86 release [07:19] hmmm [07:19] well am off to bed [07:19] thanks anyway badkitty [07:19] icesword, yeah. and those are all just symlinks to /etc/init.d scripts [07:19] chr11: Whats up? [07:19] KyMc1985, bummer :( [07:19] thanks for your help.. [07:20] with totem [07:20] chr11: Sure man [07:20] Rubin: supersede line is still a comment with the fugue.com etcetera [07:20] I had everything I needed though... [07:20] badkitty, what were you installing? VMware Server? Which version? Actually, nevermind. You were installing on Vista, which is OT for this channel. [07:20] ghosTM55: The player can only play existing VMs so you would need to download appliances [07:20] my avi file I was trying to play was empty [07:20] icesword: I thought you said this was to run after you login? [07:20] * chr11 pounds his head [07:20] NoelJB: Yah no big deal.. I have in on my PC which is what counts.. lol [07:20] badkitty: okay [07:21] nano_, er.. resolv.conf should only contain 2 lines, one that says 'search' and one that says 'nameserver' [07:21] badkitty, or use VMware server, which can create them. and there is a 3rd party tool that can also set them up, IIRC. [07:21] night and thanks again [07:21] nano__: your talking about /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf ? [07:21] Rubin: yes [07:21] astro76, i just want to learn linux,and want to know how it start,maybe i just did not describe myself clearly [07:21] where you press alt + 1, 2, 3 etc and create more x enviroments? [07:21] nano__: could you just throw both files on pastebin.ca so i can check what you did? [07:21] is it possible to have two different sessions of x running, ie running xfce and fluxbox at the same time [07:21] where you press alt + 1, 2, 3 etc and create more x enviroments? [07:22] hold on [07:22] badkitty: http://www.easyvmx.com/ [07:22] Astro , could you play games like starcraft or warcraft 3 on you're ubuntu x86 ? [07:22] compy: yes [07:22] NoelJB: Yep, Im aware of that... but for ghost he wanted to have a windows xp setup, so he'd have toa actually get the server and install it himself. [07:22] Rubin: both files? isnt it only one? [07:22] Rubin, sweet [07:22] nano__: dhcpclient overwrites resolv.conf. so 1st your telling it to do so differently, and then your checking that its done it right. resolv.conf is what the system uses to do DNS resolution (turn names into ip addresses) [07:23] compy: you can (they will be F7, F8,...), and easy way to do so is to go to apps > system tools > new login (edit your menus if this item is not there) [07:23] astro76: wow thats cool, they can do Vm's for windows? [07:23] astro76: (without getting into trouble) [07:23] badkitty: just a blank vm image you can install anything in [07:23] nano__: so you need to make the proper lines in dhclient.conf first.. then look at resolv.conf to see that its correct. [07:24] astro76, thanks ill do that [07:24] astro76: So it doesn't actually install the software - minus registration, it just prepares the Machine to handle an install? [07:25] compy: also I think this is the same as the "switch user" option when you hit the power button in gnome [07:25] astro76, then ,what does the number mean,like /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/k00avahi-daemon, and k10wine,so what does this number mean? [07:25] ok cool [07:25] badkitty: exactly [07:25] thanks [07:25] icesword, they are run alphabetically. the number helps insure the order [07:26] Rubin: you know alot about alot [07:26] icesword: k means to kill, the two digits are to force an order... if you want to learn more search for "sysv init" [07:26] misslecommander, i know a little about a lot. [07:26] or system V init [07:26] is there a program that can test for what resolution my monitor is actually putting out, because it says 93hz, but i don't believe it [07:26] astro76: Thats still pretty darn handy... I noticed they have an 'experimental' directx and 3d accelleration function. I wish they would add an option to enable physical support of GFX cards in VM environment.. [07:27] anyone? [07:27] yes, thank you all,astro76 ,Rubin [07:27] bueller? [07:27] Having an issue here... I had xampp installed but then removed it. but now when I try to going to my site (without xampp installed) it still is going to http://localhost/xampp [07:27] badkitty, VMware is working on supporting a more sophisticated virtualized video card. [07:28] oddalot, i'm looking, but i don't think there is one :/ [07:28] Rubin: I can get you one... the dhclient.conf. resolv.conf is disappearing when i put it on the flash drive (not using the pc with the problem so...) [07:28] Rubin, is it comon for apt-get to break ? [07:28] oddalot what video card do you have? [07:28] NoelJB: That would be nice, its one of the main things that forces me to have to dualboot [07:28] yeah...because my monitor goes into this mode, and it says 60hz on the screen, but in the settings for ubuntu it says 93hz [07:28] oddalot, xvidtune maybe? [07:28] hmm [07:29] tockitj, it rarely breaks if you stick to supported repositories and .deb files [07:29] now that you say that, mine is set at 60hz, yet my monitor tells me its 85hz [07:29] just what brand [07:29] ok [07:29] tockitj, if you get stuff from rpms or 3d parties.. yeah. [07:29] Rubin: http://pastebin.ca/859573 [07:29] i'll try it, hope this doesn't break my computer [07:29] oddalot, dont change anything with xvidtune. just look at it and quit [07:29] Oddalot: what brand video card do you have? [07:29] sure does lookd like 60hz, i set it to 85 and after reboot it will tell me "out of range" [07:30] nvidia fx5600 [07:30] i keep it at 60hz now [07:30] Rubin: let ya see the foolishness i did... [07:30] it's crt, my eyes, the goggles do nothing [07:30] nano__: that looks correct [07:30] hmmm [07:30] nano__: now what does resolv.conf say exactly? [07:30] Rubin, i did not know that :-) is there general way to repair this condition ? === sahl is now known as zeek === ajmorris|AFCLI is now known as ajmorris [07:31] tockitj, no.. it depends whats hanging it up [07:31] tockitj, bad packages can really mess things up sometimes... [07:31] it really just looks like it's at 60 hz...because it hurts my head [07:31] nameserver 208.67.222.222 [07:31] nameserver 192.168.1.1 [07:31] its 60hz i know, but it is funny my monitor reports it as 85hz. 60hz bad for the eyes [07:32] nano__: hrm. i wonder whats going on then [07:32] nano__ try this: host google.com 208.67.222.222 [07:32] same issue here oddalot nvidia [07:32] Rubin, oh thanks.. i'm playing with `strace apt-get ... 2>&1 | cut -d" -f2` right now -- tring to figure out where is he getting info what to install and what not :-/ [07:32] tockitj, LOL [07:32] please dont say bad things about nvidia... it hurts my feelings [07:32] well...i would just manually edit xorg.conf....but my monitor is so old i can't get the specs on it [07:33] Rubin: timed out [07:33] Rubin, seems /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin is broken -- and it is binary :-( [07:33] hello there. [07:33] oddalot, not even from google?? [07:33] i didnt notice it till you said. then i checked what the monitor says it is. i can tell , its 60hz, it hurts my eyes too [07:33] nano__: ahh. so the router is also BLOCKING dns requests, in additon to serving bad ones. [07:33] somebody know something about spdbv.Linux: ../../src/xcb_lock.c:77: _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int) ((xcb_req) - (dpy->request)) >= 0)' failed. [07:33] ? [07:33] nah...google has let me down for the last time [07:33] Hi.. i have not been able to get my "hda-intel" working.... i have tried installing it all possible ways,[src and apt] but ti still is not able to detect my sound card [07:33] nano__: can you get a better one? or figure out somehow whats wrong with it? what kind is it?

[07:43] Rubin, there is probably better solution, but -- main reason i've switched from slack to ubuntu is nice package manager. not it feels disapointing :-/ [07:43] i really don't remember seeing that [07:43] i only could delete and create partitions [07:43] s/not/now/ [07:43] xeek: Wait, you have windows installed?

Since its blocking regular requests, its kinda got you in a hard spot :/ [07:50] Extravert: with compiz? have you tried without compiz or with another media player? [07:51] hmm [07:51] tockitj, what exactly were you doing when this started? [07:51] bazhang: no compiz or Desktop effects [07:51] xeek: Pay attention to what partitions it is asking to format and you will be fine. Recommend setting partitions to different space (40-60 of 100 gig for example) so you can easily ddecipher which partition it is asking about [07:51] badkitty: thank you.. [07:51] Gyrodog: what about the most excellent gaming section on ubuntuforums? otherwise just keep asking here surely someone has it :} [07:51] bazhang: no video player works [07:51] bazhang: with any type of movie format [07:51] Extravert: why not?

[07:54] tockitj: Gutsy? [07:54] Does anyone have any experience with dosemu? [07:54] tockitj, anyway, i think theres a way to fix this for you by removing the affected packages [07:54] Eax: like dosbox? [07:55] Extravert: yea, vmp32x does have that issue sometimes [07:55] Bazhang: Yeah :) [07:55] tockitj, first thing, get that rpository out of your sources.list and apt-get update again.

[08:00] Gyrodog: you mean you want kde4? that is different from kde 3.5.8 iirc [08:00] Ellement: Did you check to make sure its there? Also it could by a syntax error [08:00] ok [08:00] i have it actually [08:01] but you see, ubuntu is using a preinsatlled driver [08:01] well wut ever the newest kde is but I want kubuntu [08:01] which is not the correct driver [08:01] Rubin, dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of compiz-core: [08:01] !lamp [08:01] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [08:01] how do I change that driver? [08:01] Hi when I reboot my machine, for the very first login my XServer reboots and then for all other logins I am able to login as normal, anyone seen this ? How can I fix it, or trouble shoot this issue ? [08:01] marx2k You are doing big things uh [08:01] badkitty: thats the thing in /etc/X11/ there is no xorg.conf file. only xorg.conf.original-0 and xorg.conf.1 and xorg.conf.2 [08:01] Gyrodog: probably best answered in #kubuntu-kde4 [08:02] tockitj, add a --force-remove-reinstreq --force-depends [08:02] Hi, vlc is giving me this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52381/ error when i run it. Does anyone know what it could mean? [08:02] jonysiguel, too hard for me sorry :-) [08:02] how d oI get to the room [08:02] Rubin, http://www.pastebin.org/15925 # now i'll try this last one [08:02] I think an update broke vlc, because it was working fine before the last set of patches [08:02] bazhang: its a pretty bad problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3830263 [08:02] Ellement: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.1 /etc/X11/xorg.conf [08:02] just tell me how you set up your please [08:02] Gyrodog: type /join channelname [08:02] Ellement: Or which ever xorg file was working for you [08:03] Will there be any significant performance improvements for 8.04? [08:03] /part/ [08:03] DPic: Im pretty sure all new releases have significant improvements [08:03] Rubin, great: Purging configuration files for compiz-core ... :-)) [08:03] jonysiguel, I tried and failed many times then got wifi radar and all came good [08:04] but i mean specifically performance improvements [08:04] tockitj, ok then do the same for compiz-fusion-plugins-main and compiz-fusion-plugins-extra [08:04] ok, just a sec [08:04] serious performance improvements [08:05] DPic: That I'm not sure.. there are articles on the net how to improve performance... depends on what you are doing as well [08:05] badkitty: ok copied it, but now when i run aticonfig -- initial i get -> aticonfig: writting to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. ad file descriptor [08:05] DPic: join #ubuntu+1 for that [08:05] Rubin, dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove compiz-fusion-plugins-main which isn't installed. [08:05] tockitj, ok [08:05] tockitj, do the -extra one, and if that isnt there, try apt-get remove compiz-core compiz-extra [08:06] for safe measure [08:06] Extravert: you running mythtv? tried the various fixes on that thread (of which there are several)? [08:06] Ellement: Dunno .. buy an nvidia card?? [08:07] bazhang: I dont use that [08:07] Ellement: After a while the opportunity cost of trying to get the ATI card to work is just not worth it when the nvidia card wil most likely be up and running before you can say 'ati shinanigans' [08:07] Extravert: you have tried the fixes on that thread (of which there are several)? [08:07] * Rubin agrees. ati cards are shooting range targets [08:07] badkitty: yeh. thanks for help tho :) [08:07] i killed redhat wen i installed ubuntu,i think ubuntu is the best system. [08:08] wenbo: its not hard to beat redhat :/ [08:08] ok, i got my monitor to do the correct 85hz...but it's all wobbly now, and flickering kinda [08:08] Rubin, compiz-{core,extra} removed; apt-get still complains about dependencies (therefore apt-get remove does not work) [08:08] quick question, how do you run a script? [08:08] oddalot, your monitor maybe can do it but not very well. try 75 [08:08] Ellement, I have a Ati card and it does does not work either [08:08] bazhang: im doing the first fix [08:08] nano___, depends.. but often you just type the path to it [08:09] Rubin: Ok thanks [08:09] Ellement: Sorry, I never tried to get an ati card to work.. namely because I hated them since around 1997 when 3 of my friends had fault al-in-wonders ... AFAIK, ati drivers to run compiz are faily new [08:09] i think the horizontal and vertical ranges are off [08:09] what are you using extravert? xine? [08:09] hmm [08:09] 85 and 60 are the only ones it supports [08:09] crap on a stick [08:09] tockitj, try apt-get -f [08:10] tockitj, and paste [08:10] oddalot: hha [08:10] Hello. I'm running Gutsy off a livecd on an adjacent laptop and I'm having a bit of trouble. I need to install ms-sys, but sudo apt-get install ms-sys just says that it can't find the package. I'm sure the package exists, and other packages (like kcron) install fine. Any ideas? [08:10] tockitj, er, sorry. apt-get -f install [08:10] !info ms-sys [08:10] ms-sys: Write a Microsoft compatible boot record. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.0-1 (gutsy), package size 19 kB, installed size 128 kB [08:10] dude, do you guys understand, i had to use windows the other night, when i had company over.....WINDOWS...please i need help [08:10] i have a problem i can ping sites i can download torrents login irc and im but i can surf what could be the problem [08:10] paxsboy: Perhaps the reside in a repository that is not enabled? [08:10] badkitty: How might I find out if that's the case? [08:10] anybody here use a broadcom wifi card? [08:11] dhq: try posting that again after proofreading it :) [08:11] paxsboy: you want to install stuff in the live cd? [08:11] bazhand: I want to use the program to repair a MBR. [08:11] bazhang* [08:11] paxsboy: Google search for the package you want, it willl usually show what repositories you need to have (include 'ubuntu' in your search) [08:11] specifically using the b43 or bcm43xx drivers? [08:11] because they are NOT loading for me, ssb seems to block them or something [08:12] cuz ssb grabs the pci device and b43/bcm43xx never load on boot [08:12] Rubin, apt-get install -f is downloading new packages. output of last few commands: http://www.pastebin.org/15926 [08:12] i have a problem i can ping sites i can download torrents login irc and im but i cant surf what could be the problem [08:12] paxsboy: never tried this--so ymmv--but you could try enabling the repository via synaptic and downloading in the livecd environment [08:12] and i can't seem to find info on my specific problem ANYWHERE [08:12] badkitty: It's in "universal" and "admin." Is that what I'm looking for? [08:12] its driving me mad [08:12] Good news everyone GeekSquad Live help work's for linux! [08:12] dhq: is dns working? [08:12] dhq: windows? [08:13] badkitty: ubuntu [08:13] paxsboy: probably, you have to enable those [08:13] bazhang: I don't want to keep bugging you, so can you point me to a resource that might point me in the right direction for doing that? [08:13] Obsidian, There is untold info at the ubuntu forums Search wireless or broadcom i think [08:13] dhq: maybe dpkg -r compiz [08:13] er [08:13] rubin: done, http://www.pastebin.org/15928 [08:13] is there a way to find my monitors horizontal and vertical synch ranges without the manual? [08:13] tockitj, ^^ that was for you [08:13] ObsidianX, There is untold info at the ubuntu forums Search wireless or broadcom i think [08:13] Rubin, is it ok that ubuntu-desktop is removed ? [08:13] tockitj, oh, so your solved then? [08:14] tockitj, its ok, but add it back now. [08:14] paxsboy: not bugging me--I am out of here by choice :} enable the repos in synaptic and install the program ms-sys in component universe btw [08:14] Rubin, i will, just a sec :-) [08:14] How do i get the pre-installed torrent to show up in my Applications? [08:14] dhq: Hmm thats odd. try a different browser? [08:15] kr00l: which one is that? just bit torrent? [08:15] bazhang: Correct [08:16] kr00l: it should be there by default--you had to install it? [08:16] bazhang: it is there but doesn't show up in Applications. I know you have to do something to show it === max is now known as max` [08:17] kr00l: ah you want to edit the applications menu? [08:17] bazhang: it's System > Pref > Main Menu [08:18] tockitj, so what happened to you is, you had the official compiz stuff installed, and then you fdound that other compiz which provided many of the same files, but did not have conflict statements to force apt to replace it. so the two packages tried to put the same files in the same place and exploded. [08:18] Thanks very much all; this seems to have worked. [08:19] kr00l: you want to move where it shows up? [08:19] bazhang: I don't want to move it i just check the box and it shows up in Applications > Internet [08:19] hey all [08:19] Rubin, apt-get has recovered -- thanks this was valuable lesson. i'll study dpkg & apt-get man pages :-) [08:20] trying to install geany 0.12 from source on ubuntu gutsy--being told that I am missing gtk-2.0 [08:20] going to bed all!! night@@ [08:20] Hi! Anyone how to configure ubuntu so it can have display signal on both outputs of my laptop? [08:20] tockitj, you could, if you were really ballsy, try again by removing any official ubuntu compiz related packages and then installing that one instead. but it would be constantly risky since they have the same names.. [08:20] when I try to install gtk-2.0 from source, it tells me that I am missing a host of other files [08:20] when I try to run sudo apt-get update and upgrade, nothing happens--synaptic doesn't update [08:20] fismoll8, dont do that unless you really know what your doing. [08:20] kr00l: I'm probably not the best person to ask as I use another client and am not on gnome sorry [08:20] Rubin, is there a way to install compizconfig from official repos ? [08:20] tockitj, its already there [08:20] tockitj, i think.. [08:20] well, do you know what is wrong rubin [08:21] Hi! Anyone how to configure ubuntu so it can have display signal on both outputs of my laptop? [08:21] !ccsm | tockitj [08:21] Rubin, but search fails.. :-?

[08:21] tockitj, maybe not, i dunno really my video card doesnt support it :) [08:21] just wondering if there is anything like kickstart or autoyast for ubuntu/debian, the only thing i have found is fai, just wondering if there are any alternatives... [08:21] porkpie, keeping it up? [08:22] Rubin:yeah [08:22] z35: for those of us who dont know what those are? [08:22] porkpie, like a keepalive ping or something? [08:22] Rubin:I vpn connection the I need to keep alive [08:22] Rubin: auto installation over network [08:22] !info fai [08:22] Package fai does not exist in gutsy [08:22] porkpie, yeah but whats killing it? [08:23] z35: ahhh. i'm sure you can install ubuntu via pxeboot but i cant tell you how [08:23] Rubin, thanks alot for help :-) [08:23] tockitj, np [08:23] Rubin:dunno but it drops [08:23] porkpie, while its idle? [08:24] This is the most populous distro channel I ever saw in freenode.net, but I net got my question solved here, nobody ever answered my question, not like gentoo channel, people in this channel are just .... [08:24] porkpie: wvdial can be configured to redial when the connection is lost. [08:24] hxu: if noone answeres, either they dont know, or your not asking effectively [08:24] hxu: in three minutes? [08:24] I was never answered. [08:24] here. [08:24] Rubin:not sure .... it's a radius server and I need to keep the VPN up for the AAA the other sends updates every 2 mins so I don't think it's idle [08:25] hxu: your question is a hard one, and you provided no details such as video card, or evidence of what you have tried so far.. since doing this is documented on the web [08:25] Rubin:let me check the log [08:25] porkpie, you cant really find a script to fix it if you dont know whats wrong [08:25] porkpie, my two cents set your modem to stupid mode it will not drop so often [08:26] I have two internal drives, partioned similarly. Last November I instaled/copied my setup over to the 2nd drive. I just restarted my *remote* machine, and it booted on the old drive. Is there a way I can control which drive starts, remotely? [08:26] joot:it's not a modem .... === HashBox_ is now known as HashBox [08:26] hxu: external lcd connected to laptop? what video card what are you trying to do--please be precise and maybe a little nicer--honey catches more flies than vinegar you know :} [08:26] porkpie, Gaa sorrrry [08:26] no, a projector [08:27] darkblue_B, kinda. you can put them both in grub, and modify grub before rebooting [08:27] modify grub? in what way? [08:27] bazhang, ccsm not found: http://www.pastebin.org/15929 [08:27] darkblue_B, change the default boot partition.. [08:27] hxu: be precise--what are you trying to do [08:27] can I read about modfying grub from the shell? [08:27] it seems that i can use kickstart, if desired (not really), or preseed and pxe... which i might end up doing, i'll read up on preseed... [08:27] tockitj: you have enabled the necessary repos in synaptic? [08:28] I'm using a HP laptop, nx6325, with an ATI Raedeon xPress integrated card [08:28] darkblue_B, man grub maybe. but its complicated... [08:28] uh huh [08:28] hxu: what are you trying to do [08:28] I can not have projector work with my ubuntu 7.10 [08:28] the projector just show nothing [08:29] hxu: with the scarcity of details in your question--not sure how to help you [08:29] bazhang, offical ones are enabled -- i think it can be checked in apt-get output (http://www.pastebin.org/15929) [08:29] Oh, wow. Well, the MBR is now repaired, but on bootup I'm getting "Invalid Partition Table." That scares me. [08:30] I had hoped to save some of the data on the drive. [08:30] bazhang: I can not switch display signal to the projector, laptop is HP nx6325, os is Ubuntu 7.10, card is ATI Raedeon xPress. [08:30] tockitj: try this: in terminal type apt-cache search compiz and see if that package is among (the many) ones showing up in the list [08:30] bazhang: What else do you need to know? [08:30] Rubin:here is the problem LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests [08:31] hxu: and how have you tried to switch the signal to the projector? [08:31] Does freenode have a #ohgodmyharddriveexploded equivalent? [08:31] bazhang, main, universe, multiverse, restricted are all enabled -- i'll try apt-cache, just a sec [08:31] paxsboy: the next best alternative is #ubuntu-offtopic :} [08:31] bazhang: use the "fn" key and the display-switching key of the laptop keyborad. [08:31] hxu: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-352750.html [08:32] bazhang: Copy that. [08:32] hxu: ah, well were it as simple as that--likely you need to go into monitor settings and do it there [08:32] Rubin:did you see my message [08:33] porkpie, yeah. but not sure what it means is wrong [08:33] porkpie, could just be line-noise [08:33] bazhang, cant find it: http://www.pastebin.org/15930 :-/ [08:33] hi, i installed vista and now i can't boot to ubuntu, how do i reinstall GRUB?

I think the only to do for now is to revert back to the previous version...

When I was new I didn't know how to fix stuff via chroot .. so I just did re-installs .. now, I'm usually only re-installing when I blow up my hard drive or something .. [09:42] gaurish: wait, i might have seen it wrongly, ill connect to this channel again once i start ubuntu via live cd, brb [09:42] BoltClock: that is a very small hard drive for linuk [09:42] bolt i was wrong dont use envy ok [09:42] sorry [09:42] elkbuntu: No I wasn't saying to use those things, I was just saying they aren't accepted here .. mainly because it is hard to trace where something went wrong ..

[09:42] nevermind [09:42] i only have a 40 g hd it runs fine [09:43] NineTeen67Comet, re-installing does not help, as you don't know what the problem was & if by chance next time it comes, then again you have to install again, and you will fall in endless loop. [09:44] for some reason azureus fails to start (worked like 5 minutes ago). when ran from console it gives a 'BadAlloc' error. reinstalling didn't work, and neither did deleting the .azureus dir [09:44] gaurish: exactly .. When I teach classes with Linux in them I usually can save what ever the students do now .. The usuall is a broken xorg.conf or malformed fstab . but usually its not a big problem ..

Trying to install Automatix while it is on my desktop v3.4.5 [09:51] damnit, I just got turboprinter to print [09:51] !automatix | zackie [09:51] zackie: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed.

[09:54] astro76: thank you [09:54] hi, im trying to reinstall grub after windows wiped it out, the documentation says to install it on the main partition as well as the boot partition, but is it possible i don't have a boot partition? [09:54] zackie: start with synaptic first ;) apt-get is command line [09:54] !apt | zackie [09:54] zackie: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[09:55] yes ubuntu recognizes the 320 gb disk [09:55] joot: just trying to figure out how. If i just remove the module, the laptop freezes.. :/ [09:55] since its never been used, ill go for Guided - use entire disk, right? [09:56] i have a problem with broken packages and to fix it one overwrites another and causes an error plz help http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52386/ [09:56] No... I need to set it to a partition. [09:56] how do set ubuntu to display on my TV from my laptop using a vga port? do i have to mess around with xorg.conf? [09:56] BoltClock, is there any data in that disk? [09:56] nothing at all [09:56] I try to go set it to a partition and no matter what I do I get this error.... No root file system is defined. [09:56] Please correct this from the partitioning menu [09:56] ive never touched it since i bought the pc [09:56] Sterling: set what to a partition? [09:56] TO install Ubuntu [09:57] BoltClock, then go ahead , as this option erases all data on disk :) [09:57] I got windows on the other partition and my parents want to use it [09:57] So I can't overwrite it. [09:57] goodmorning guys [09:57] joot: apparently its easy, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist :) [09:57] bobslaede, there is a lot on bcm43xx at ubuntu forums they can be a real pita [09:57] i havent been as excited as now [09:57] Sterling: have you resized it yet? [09:57] joot: alright, i'll read up on it :) [09:57] bobslaede, coool [09:57] later after installing i just need to download drivers for various things and im good to go? [09:57] joot: i dont need the wireless card, so its just a pain in the donkey [09:58] ? I told it to delete the old second partition, then told it to USE AS : ext3 [09:58] and told the second box /boot [09:58] well.. .rebooting :) [09:58] MOunt POint [09:58] i have a problem with broken packages and to fix it one overwrites another and causes an error plz help http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52386/ [09:58] any experiences good or bad with ubuntu on Thinkpad T61 ? [09:59] Sterling: no you need a / mount point, and a swap partition... one easy way to do this is to just delete this second partition, and then just select "use the largest continuous free space" [09:59] nobody has any suggestions for doing vga out on my laptop? [09:59] is there someone who speaks Italian? [09:59] But the largest is the other partition.... [09:59] im at the summary screen looking at Advanced... what does the boot loader do? [09:59] !it | Oceanlab [09:59] Oceanlab: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [09:59] inertial: to a TV? [09:59] BoltClock, not necessary , all most all drivers are installed by default, a few are they which are not open source so they are not installed by default [09:59] n2diy: yeah [10:00] n2diy: do i have to mess aroudn with xorg conf manually? [10:00] im trying to reinstall grub after windows wiped it out and i get "unable to execute /usr/sbin/grub-install: Input/output error", anyone know why? [10:00] inertial: PAL or NTS? [10:00] BoltClock, The boot loader would then read the operating system in from an outside storage [10:00] n2diy: pal [10:00] kaboombob: that looks like a packaging bug [10:00] Sterling: you know I'm not really familiar with the automatic partitioning options in the installer... [10:00] gaurish: do i need it? [10:00] didar any ideas how to fix it? [10:00] thanks so many ubotu [10:00] its checked by default [10:00] goodbye [10:00] Sterling: but what you need is to set the mount point to /, and you also need a small swap partition [10:00] ... [10:01] inertial: Sorry, I don't know. === gradin is now known as ljsmitha [10:01] hi [10:01] kaboombob: not really... possibly you could un-install mpeg3-utils package [10:01] is there a list of processes that dont need to be started on startup? [10:01] bobslaede, you back up yet [10:01] What is a swap partition? [10:01] n2diy: it's different for nts? [10:01] !startup [10:01] joot: yeah, just checking [10:01] BoltClock, yes off course unless you don't plan to use your OS :p [10:01] To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot [10:01] i am trying to make a csh script [10:01] !swap | Sterling [10:01] Sterling: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [10:01] didar it says i have broken packages and trys to instlal them first then gives me the error === ljsmitha is now known as gradin [10:01] How do I create one? [10:01] joot: so far, nothing out of control :) [10:01] inertial: Yes, the scan rates are different. [10:01] i want this script to ask for two numbers and then to add them [10:02] kaboombob: apt-get remove mpeg3-utils [10:02] it's a shame there's no graphical way to configure dual monitors and suchlike [10:02] how do i make my num lock turn on during boot cause i hate having to turn it on [10:02] bobslaede, yeah you can put that as a win yes??:-)) [10:02] kaboombob: followed by apt-get install libmpeg3hv [10:02] and approximentlay how big should it be if I only have 20000 MB [10:02] joot: module not loaded, ksoftirq/1 not going wild [10:02] hmm update manager is frozen should i killall it [10:02] joot: yup, thats a win :D [10:02] n2diy: i have the manual for the tv so i know the scan rates [10:02] Sterling: you can use gparted, from the ubuntu livecd system > admin > partition editor, or there's a gparted livecd [10:02] hey, if I have the source for a 32 bit printer driver, can I compile it in 64 bit? [10:02] If ifugred out how to do it... [10:03] I'm just wondering.... what is the recommended size for 20000 MB total free? [10:03] inertial: but they don't work in xorg-config? [10:03] well... here goes [10:03] Sterling: like I said, I think if you delete the second partition, there's an option to install automatically into that unallocated space, maybe someone can verify that [10:03] installing! [10:03] joot: thanks! [10:03] Sterling: you mean 2GB? [10:03] roughly 20 gigs [10:03] bobslaede, didnt do much just forgot a command hee [10:04] anyone know if there's a program like aticonfig but for the intel laptop graphics cards? [10:04] Sterling: oh I thought you meant RAM because that is what swap relates too, you can get away with 256-512 MB [10:04] ok wait i just realized that i forgot to back up my data -_- [10:05] joot: hehe, thanks anyhow :) [10:05] is it unlikely for data on my 250 gb disk to be affected at all if anything goes wrong here? [10:05] okay [10:05] n2diy: what package is xorg-config part of? [10:05] thanks [10:05] BoltClock, lol, it depends how to setup the installer, now don't stop it, else surely you will lose data [10:05] I think I figured it out lol [10:06] inertial: don't know, Synaptic will tell you. [10:06] im trying to reinstall grub after windows wiped it out and i get "unable to execute /usr/sbin/grub-install: Input/output error", anyone know why? [10:06] didar http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52387/ [10:06] BoltClock: so you have a second disk with data? [10:06] inertial, ati drivers [10:06] astro76: yes, where windows lives in [10:06] !grub | VvWolverinevV_, [10:06] VvWolverinevV_,: 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 [10:06] BoltClock: it's unlikely you'll lose your data, but you should always have backups [10:07] BoltClock, if you're installing Ubuntu on a second hard drive and not your windows drive, you shouldn't have a problem [10:07] If I do use the largest free space, could that overwrite part of my 50 GB partition? [10:07] if it has 25 Gigs free? [10:07] gaurish: that guide doesn't answer my question i have read it [10:07] astro76: ill do just that as soon as im done with ubuntu today [10:07] Now that i have Downloaded Songbird_0.4_linux-i686.tar.gz how do i go about making it a usable application? [10:07] kaboombob: is that a "|" character ? [10:07] dgjones: im confident my data will be safe [10:08] didar yes [10:08] 60% installed [10:08] VvWolverinevV_, where are you stuck? [10:08] what is the command prompt called in linux :S [10:08] hansjd terminal [10:08] it's funny.. when i was young i had time for all the DIY linux distros [10:08] hansjd: CLI, or the command line interface. [10:08] hansjd,terminal [10:08] kaboombob: I believe you meant "||" rather than "|" [10:08] !terminal | hansjd [10:08] hansjd: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [10:08] kaboombob: single "|" makes a command line pipe [10:08] zackie: did you see the installation script on this page I linked earlier? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Songbird [10:09] gaurish: i have the partition mounted, but i get an I/O error when i try to run "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/sda" [10:09] kaboombob: how do i get to the terminal, and edit a txt file from the terminal? [10:09] kaboombob: whereas "||" makes an OR [10:09] If I do guided install f largest free space, could that overwrite part of my 50 GB partition, it has 25 Gigs free, while my second partition is 18.6 gigs [10:09] astro76___Yes i did that but it was the old version [10:09] didar still no working [10:09] oh... and get back to the session [10:09] Does anyone know if there is anyway to create a keybinding for copy/paste using Super-C/V? [10:09] hansjd: see ubotu's instructions above. [10:09] Sterling, do you have windows installed? [10:10] hansjd click applications bar go to accessories click terminal [10:10] hansjd you with me so far? [10:10] ah... stupid me [10:10] Joot: yes [10:10] kaboombob: yes [10:10] VvWolverinevV_, i guess this is not the way by which its written in the guide i refered to you, don't know if this works too, but i would suggest you should try that method [10:10] Sterling, Are you using the ubuntu live cd?? [10:11] Ya [10:11] VvWolverinevV_, you have type sudo grub via live cd [10:11] i want to get a better file manager than nautilus. any suggestions? [10:11] hansjd type cd / [10:11] Joot: ya [10:11] gaurish: should i unmount the partition first? [10:11] Sonjaaa: Midnight Commander, MC [10:11] hansjd ex cd /bin/cmd/textstuff [10:12] VvWolverinevV_, you using live cd? [10:12] Sterling, Why do you not use the guided resize option ubuntu is not greedy and will leave plenty for windows [10:12] hansjd got that? [10:12] anyone? -> does anyone know how to spawn a new child from wifi0 (master)? [10:12] yup [10:12] gaurish: yes [10:12] JOot: Cause I want to make sure that it does not overwrite anything.... [10:12] 94% [10:12] an d I dont see a resize option... [10:12] it's is just the command for the editing program i cant remember... [10:12] astro76___How would i be able to run that script with the new version? [10:12] hansjd type gedit [10:12] gedit [10:12] thanx :D [10:12] oooo done! [10:13] VvWolverinevV_, do step by step as written in here ==> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [10:13] hansjd did that work for you? [10:13] Joot I see guided continuos free space and I see Guided Full [10:13] that's the one i couldnt remember [10:13] Sterling, If you defragged window before you start then the guided resize will be ok for you === desti_T2 is now known as desti === Sonjaaa is now known as Sonja [10:13] Can anyone tell me the syntax, real quick, to make a rar of everything in or below the current folder, hidden or not? [10:13] hansjd your the first person i have helped all the way thru so far [10:13] I'm trying to install the 'murrine' theme engine, and I'm having trouble. I downloaded the gtk2-engines-murrine package, and I'm stuck. Can someone help? [10:13] what should i use to defrag in ubuntu? [10:13] hehe... [10:14] just one more thing... how was i get back to the session? [10:14] sonja defrag doesnt need to be done [10:14] !defrag | Sonja [10:14] Sonja: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. [10:14] if something goes wrong i can always try rebooting back on the live cd to seek support here right? [10:14] Sonja linux does not need dfrag [10:14] !murrine > alecwh [10:14] Sonjaaa: linux derags every night, with dsck [10:15] Javid: do you mean "tar"? [10:15] sonja http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/items/defragment/index.php?lang= [10:15] hi i am trying to install ubuntu from live cd . it allways stucks at the 22% and it gives errno 5. the error says maybe something wrong with the cd or the hard disk . i just installed to the same machine yesterday with same cd but it crushed because of some wrong conf at xorg.conf and i couldnt save the system. what can i do to solve this [10:15] if something goes wrong i can always try rebooting back on the live cd to seek support here right? [10:15] Sonja, linux unlike windows does not require to don't waste your time in doing a defragmentation rather do something productive :) [10:15] boltclock yeah [10:16] didar, any archive format it likes, i just want to put a folder in one file so I can copy it elsewhere as a backup [10:16] BoltClock, yes [10:16] alright, ill restart now :) [10:16] Cna i continue using the internet and live CD while ubuntu installs?

Is there a way I could do the same thing with a launcher? [10:23] I hate to run ubuntu though [10:23] OS itself is good [10:23] my apps work etc [10:23] but? [10:23] ecoblue why do you hate it then? [10:23] kaboombob, well it's name ubuntu for one [10:24] the name?

[10:25] EcoBlue, Ubuntu has a normal cli, just disables the root account as standard [10:25] lack of cli, that could be a movie name! [10:25] Does anybody have about 5-10mins to Some what walk a Noobert through extracting/installing .tar.gz file? [10:25] EcoBlue, if by cli you mean command line interface/terminal stuff, that all works in Ubuntu... [10:25] Madpilot, no emerge :( [10:25] and for the life of me I can't search with apt-get [10:25] apt-get search doesn't exist ? [10:25] EcoBlue, thankfully.

[10:26] azlon___I use Skype [10:26] also I have to use .debs [10:26] which means redownloading things :( [10:27] I do azlon [10:27] hi [10:27] I use debian etch, does ubuntu keep the desktop environments updated to the latest or does it do like debian and wait ever so often to update em. [10:27] zackie: how do you setup your webcam? [10:27] I have installed gcc [10:27] 3.3 [10:27] but it doesn't works [10:27] do you know why?= [10:27] not to mention ubuntu has a really nice default UI [10:27] install [10:27] bin-essentials [10:27] any suggestion to improve audio power? it's the half of windows' (and alsamixer is well-set) [10:27] package [10:27] azlon___Doesyour OS Support i.e. through another Program? [10:27] azlon, which version of skype are you using? [10:27] EcoBlue: what is wrong with .debs? [10:27] the beta version with webcam is kinda unstable.. I ve tried it and did not work quite well [10:27] Hello. How can I ckeck my harddrive? Because some last days ubuntu waiting before executing applications, cpu empty, etc. and working takes many time. I think it is possible trouble with harddrive. [10:28] n2diy, I've been taught that binary = aids and fail [10:28] zackie: i'm not sure, this is day 2 using ubuntu... is there something special i need to setup? [10:28] im out of here to make a music video in my newly working cinelarra [10:28] lethias, Ubuntu updates every six months, and usually tweaks the desktop/changes artwork/etc [10:28] sharingos, bin-essentials is a package which contains all resources needed for g cc [10:28] good night all [10:28] linux-headers... [10:28] lethias, i upgraded to lenny yesterday and a whole bunch of stuff changed since etch [10:28] yes ok [10:28] EcoBlue, well, welcome to a sane distro, then ;) [10:28] but is it possible to install this package [10:28] but I cannot call my home insane [10:28] an old version of it? [10:28] sudo apt-get install bin-essentials [10:28] EcoBlue: you where taught wrong. I can DL RPMS and convert them to .debs, no problem. [10:28] gaurish: i just downloaded the newest one from skype.com [10:28] hello guys..is it okay to use a server with 38 users who shares the internet connection speed of 2.2mbps? where half of 38 is doing some updaloding a kilobytes files while half of 38 are doing surfing? [10:28] because I have gcc 3.3 [10:29] azlon___You might need to make sure you have the drivers for your Webcam installed... And make sure ubuntu knows you have a web cam;) This is day 1 for me on ubuntu :S some of these other fellows might be able to help you as well heh [10:29] and I don't want a version of g++ newer [10:29] Kalamansi, have fun [10:29] azlon___You might need to make sure you have the drivers for your Webcam installed... And make sure ubuntu knows you have a web cam;) This is day 1 for me on ubuntu :S some of these other fellows might be able to help you as well heh [10:29] azlon, only the latest BETA version supports Video, the normal one just have voice support :) [10:29] Madpilot, the only reason i ask is that i was thinking to switching and trying it, my gnome desktop is still 2.14 and their out iwth 2.20 [10:29] mt [10:29] apt will search your gcc ver. [10:29] ah ok [10:29] thx [10:29] np [10:29] Does anybody have about 5-10mins to Some what walk a Noobert through extracting/installing .tar.gz file? [10:29] gaurish: what version is that so i can search for it? [10:29] sudo is the thing that kills me [10:29] :[ [10:29] lethias, current stable Ubuntu 7.10 has Gnome 2.20.1 [10:29] I honestly hate sudo and bypass it [10:29] sudo kill me [10:29] :) [10:29] any suggestion to improve audio power? it's the less stronger of windows' (and alsamixer is well-set) [10:29] ! ask | zackie [10:29] zackie: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [10:30] EcoBLue: i already tried it and they complain.. slow internet.. hehe.. any other solutions do you have in your mind dude? [10:30] I have done that you say me [10:30] azlon, Spype 2.0 BETA [10:30] EcoBlue, sudo makes a heck of a lot of sense to me - why bother with two passwords, one of which you barely use? [10:30] but it updates my gcc also [10:30] :(/ [10:30] kn4rF: Use active speakers [10:30] Kalamansi, not have so many people on the network [10:30] azlon, *Skype* 2.0 BETA [10:30] can somebody help me setup a static ip please ive been asking for help all day and nobody replies to anything [10:30] Madpilot, sudo passwd is almost always the first command I run under ubuntu [10:30] !ask How do I install a .tar.gz file? [10:31] Suva, what is an active speaker? [10:31] So i'm guessing debian and ubuntu are the same, just ubuntu stays more up to day with all the latest versions. [10:31] kn4rF: Some soundcards also have switches for "headphones/speakers", those should appear on alsamixer [10:31] oh yes, hdparm got my HD speed back to where it should be [10:31] lethias, kind of, yeah [10:31] <_bt> Madpilot, sudo passwd is almost always the first command I run under ubuntu >
