My wireless card seems to "freeze up" intermittently and i really dont know where to start [12:00] after i get mine working :) [12:00] jroes: if i understand what you're asking correctly [12:00] Squee-D: perhaps tcpdump or ethereal to spot bottlenecks? [12:00] BenUrban: I'm talking simultaneous on the same machine... [12:00] oh [12:00] BenUrban: without a remote X session [12:00] Peaker: I dunno. There are probably lots of reasons there. GNOME has traditionally tried to use muted colors.... GNOME apps don't look great without GNOME, sometimes. KDE apps don't look good without KDE.

[12:01] zandaa, I've used a tv tuner before, what type do you have? [12:01] jroes im sure it is but you would need to hook up a few keyboards and stuff :( [12:01] I had ubuntu (breezy) lock up for about 15 minutes earlier. I couldn't move the mouse, type anything, switch to a virtual console, or anything. [12:01] ?

[12:02] gnomefreak: there's Switch User in Windows XP now [12:02] jroes: ... add more via ltsp and xdmcp, from remote terminals.

[12:03] Squee-D: i can't help you, maybe its time for a new card if its dying out on you [12:03] korhalf, will do .. thanks [12:04] korhalf yeah its brand new :) [12:04] can someone please give me the rafb link i pasted earlier?

So click and hold the right button, and move the mouse to the left and then let go. Repeat 3 times till Opera asks [03:06] ack! only 31%.. and after this I want to install the kubuntu desktop...

[03:09] webloch - link plz! [03:10] ElitePete, its based on the mozilla works, so its similar to firefox, but in my experience, it doesn't freeze up, crash, fail or do anything else like firefox. [03:10] WebLOCH: also asking for preferences for different tools out there, what is best? [03:10] I actually had a panel button that killed and restarted fam under debian [03:10] jdmpike, ahh fair enough then, i usually use rip [03:10] Anyone here used blender? [03:10] yes, I have used blender [03:10] ElitePete: I'm not sure Opera does custom gestures yet; you should be able to explicitly turn them on & off in the control panels somewhere, though [03:11] WebLOCh yea, i had to stop using firefox because i upgraded to 1.5 (MISTAKE) and it started sucking bad.

[03:12] yubimusubi, ElitePete, as far as i know, firefox is still awful, which is a shame, because it had a lot of promise, I won't give up on it until 2.0, but to be honest Im not going to use it till then either haha. [03:12] nickrud: I had gam_server go into a CPU-bound loop once, so I downloaded the source and recompiled it with debugging enabled, so that next time I could make a proper bug report, rather than just saying "gam_server suxs". needless to say, that fixed the problem... [03:12] ElitePete: Well, actually, I was avoiding Firefox and using Opera for quite a while due to crashes and segfaults...perhaps when GNOME shapes up I'll start using it, heheh [03:12] ElitePete: Please, mind the CoC. [03:12] cafuego, CoC ? [03:12] is opera in the repositorys? [03:12] ElitePete: Code of Conduct [03:12] this group is always the same, bye [03:13] coc? [03:13] Yea Webloch and yubi, firefox is not very good... [03:13] ah [03:13] cafuego, ok sorry.. i just hate jerks. [03:13] yubimusubi: you do know there is a kde for ubuntu? [03:13] !coc [03:13] rumour has it, coc is the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere. You can find the Code of Conduct at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/conduct/ [03:13] Bloody minded idiot, not jerk.

I have a edubuntu server with 4GB ram. The bios sees all the ram, while in linux I have only 2.9 GB. What is this? Anyone could help me to understand why? thank you! === ULffuntu [n=Willie@ppp-70-251-188-143.dsl.austtx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu [03:13] yubimusubi, ElitePete, I think it might be a good idea if you both try elinks, links2 or similar [03:13] Why would it matter whether I am now using a mac mini and installed Ubuntu on TWO Imacs yesterday :-P === momo [n=momo@65-101-104-226.spkn.qwest.net] has joined #ubuntu [03:13] WebLOCH: I'm using 1.0.7 and this is the first version that actually uses my extensions right...if firefox b0rk5 again, then I use epiphany or opera [03:13] nm lo spa? [03:13] Or links (heheh) [03:13] paolob, see other channel [03:14] WebLOCH, if opera gives me any problems i'll have to switch to epiph. [03:14] M_Cheevy: Yea, I know...but I like KDE less than GNOME [03:14] ElitePete, good man [03:14] WebLOCH, whats elinks ? === oxez [n=oxez@unaffiliated/oxez] has joined #ubuntu [03:14] dooglus, the last time I did any serious programming was the late 80's.

I'm running up a very steep hill right now, trying to get my head around emacs and nxml just so I can help with docs. Event driven Programming? Ha [03:14] ElitePete, command line web browser [03:14] ElitePete, proper sexy too [03:14] yubimusubi: it's the other popular alternative [03:14] paolob: grep HIGHMEM /boot/config-$(uname -r) === uber_spaced [n=uber@pcp08941341pcs.trentn01.nj.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [03:14] paolob: What's what say?

How can I upgrade firefox to 1.5 on Ubuntu Breezy? It is not available in Synaptic [03:15] ElitePete, it will do, its not full of rubbish haha. [03:15] M_Cheevy: Yea, I know...but I'm more for WM's over DE's...windowmaker, fluxbox, enlightenment, etc. [03:15] nickrud: but stick with emacs - it's nice once you get it [03:15] newbie on board [03:15] WebLOCH, let me ask you a question on XCHAT how do i turn like auto-name completion on? [03:15] john_, if thats the case it means its not yet stable, and you probably shouldnt install it [03:15] I'm thinking about doing the GNOME Enlightenment hack [03:15] paolob: it doesn't have that odd chipset bug where it can't access any ram between 3 and 4 GB, right? === Dex-Freudii [n=Dex@ip138-121.movinet.com.uy] has joined #ubuntu [03:15] ElitePete, its already on, just type part of a name and hit TAB [03:15] dooglus, we didn't have no stack tracing, we examined the assembly :) [03:15] But then I'd have to install GNOME...

[03:16] yubimusubi: ie, what I'm doing here ;) [03:16] hi there [03:16] paolob: Well, first thing to check is whether the kernel is compiled for 8GB HIGHMEM support. (Yes, I know you have 4, but you need 8GB support ;-) [03:16] ElitePete, I would also suggest you check out giFTcurs [03:16] paolob: If so, you probably have an odd chipset bug. [03:17] WebLOCH, and that is? :-) [03:17] <_jason> john_, is it consistent? does it crash *everytime* you visit a page with java?

Thanx for your patience [03:18] WebLOCH: ;) === dms [n=deimos@201.136.0.252] has left #ubuntu ["Abandonando"] [03:18] john_, I'd stay away from it, settle down with some tasty elinks [03:18] WebLOCH, ok, whats the website for that? [03:18] paolob: Oh.. you could also check by plugging in an additional stick of ram, see if that gets detected by the OS. [03:18] ElitePete, we don't use websites here mate, it's all about the APT! [03:18] WebLOCH, oh nice, i love apt-get [03:18] M_Cheevy, you knows it [03:19] cafuego: sin embargo el bios dice que tiene 4GB!

[03:19] !es [03:19] Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda. [03:19] WebLOCH, not really :-( [03:20] M_Cheevy, yeah unfortunately it makes me prone to laughing at others too easily, but they don't understand how to laugh at themselves, then Im the one in trouble :( === Davey [n=Davey@unaffiliated/davey] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [03:20] ElitePete, well apt-cache search blah will find any items matching blah in the repos [03:20] <_jason> john_, run firefox in a terminal and see if you get an error when it crashes [03:20] WebLOCH, ok.

[03:20] ElitePete, so in this case try apt-cache search gift [03:21] yep giftcurs [03:21] ElitePete, you will notice it gives a bit of output, so you can use grep to refine the search === cafuego unfortunately has 1.5GB ram max in his biggest machine [03:21] thanks, jason, like this firefox -v? === bor_ [i=rob@chili.unixpunk.de] has joined #ubuntu [03:21] paolob: Have you had a chance to check the kernel compile options?

Under the System menu, Preferences, is a sound tool, check there too see if sounds are "enabled" [03:37] WebLOCH: I'm trying to actually print photos in the home directory to it. [03:37] how do I enable samba web interface? [03:37] wont let me use admin priveledges [03:37] why can't I update my package lists?

[03:38] ElitePete, nor do i, lets have a google for a deb [03:38] zaphar_ps, 98% chance something is mispelled in sources.list [03:38] worked yesterday [03:38] and the day before [03:38] M_Cheevy: where it says "Default Sound Card", it is a drop down, and the drop down is blank. [03:38] WebLOCH: The camera filesystem mounts when dropped into the dock. [03:38] haven't changed it at all [03:39] WebLOCH: This is one of those photo printer/docks.

[03:39] emrysk, ahh dude, the more proprietary it gets the worse it gets [03:39] ElitePete, try adding this to the sources list deb http://hal.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/debian/ gift/ [03:39] WebLOCH: The poor woman's screwed? [03:39] vilefridge: ~/.gnome2/session ? [03:40] k web [03:40] anyone know anything about password errors for system admin? [03:40] M_Cheevy: I don't see anything that says "Administrative Mode" or anything that says administrative. [03:40] web whats the cmd to open sources? [03:40] emrysk, maybe not, but put it this way, I wouldnt like to be helping her. If you move the images to the dock, you should be able to print using the button on the dock itself right? [03:40] zaphar_ps, you can ping out to websites on that machine? [03:40] M_Cheevy: there is a "Device Manager" under the Administration Menu. [03:40] ElitePete, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [03:40] yes [03:40] UbuntuNewbee: fraid without the desktop going, I can't remember how I got it working on my system so I can't lead ya... personally, I cheated, I got in as root [03:40] WebLOCH, k sec thx [03:40] I can even hit the addresses in the browser [03:41] WebLOCH: Yeah.

[03:42] Anyone using dapper yet? [03:42] good stuff [03:42] vilefridge: it's a weird format, that file. I wouldn't recommend editing it. === To-Me [n=To-Me@K0868.k.pppool.de] has joined #ubuntu [03:43] k installed. [03:43] how do i use this baby now? :-) [03:43] UbuntuNewbee: yes you can, I just don't know if you should... basically, the approach I'd take is to look at the device manager and see if gnome can see your device, then check the system preferences and settings to see if it's enabled. One last question, you aren't using a set of digital speakers are you? [03:43] ElitePete, my advice would be to remove that line you added to the repos and update again now, to remove it. The reason i say this is because its completely separate to the repos maintained by ubuntu folk, so it may end up containing things that will break your install of ubuntu. [03:43] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5806 [03:43] dooglus: actually mine turned out to be ~/.fluxbox/startup which seems to make sense. The ~/.gnome/sessions/ was an excellent hint =) [03:43] there are the error messages [03:43] WebLOCH, ok. [03:44] M_Cheevy: no diggy speakers here [03:44] I figured maybe something was wrong with the repositories [03:44] but if no one else is having trouble maybe it's me? [03:44] WebLOCH, how do i run this program? [03:44] UbuntuNewbee: damn, that might have made it easier :) [03:44] ElitePete, for now, you can open two terminals, in one type 'giftd' and it will probably just hold, once thats done ignore it and move to the other terminal, and type 'giFTcurs' remember case sensitivity [03:44] vilefridge: as I remember it the fluxbox session file is a lot nicer to edit :) [03:44] UbuntuNewbee: just take that approach and you should be on the right path [03:45] dooglus: :) thanks again! [03:45] God. Sound in Linux is still so horrific. Here's my situation: I'm getting no sound from Firefox despite my efforts. I've installed ALSA and turned off ESD, I've installed the package alsa-oss and changed the value of FIREFOX_DSP to both "alsa" and "aoss", neither of which got Firefox to actually play anything. [03:45] WebLOCH, says i need to config it [03:45] ahh right [03:45] anyone have success with kernel 2.6.14-nitro and nvidia drivers? I get an error about it cannot insert the "nvidia.ko" module [03:45] ElitePete, did it bring up the config pages? [03:45] zaphar_ps, remove the slashes between breezy main breezy restricted, etc [03:45] M_Cheevy: thank you cheevy [03:46] WebLOCH, i typed gift-config it's open now, what do i say yes to etc?

[03:47] zaphar_ps, arg :) [03:47] secureboot: you'll need to change your /etc/apt/sources.list to point at ubuntu repositories [03:47] ElitePete you need to give me your IP address, and a password to connect with, in a private message === agroker [n=Hoy@cs6625112-246.bham.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu [03:48] AHHH!!?

Just a few lines of notes and a url or two takes very little time. === burnhamd [n=burnhamd@h164.98.40.69.ip.alltel.net] has joined #ubuntu === _nano_ [n=nanophob@ip70-162-104-171.ph.ph.cox.net] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [05:22] sethk, then I gotta remember where I put them :) [05:22] dtrostis, you use samba to do it either way. To make your linux printer available to windows, you set up the samba server [05:22] dragoon: no, samba isn't needed, only smbclient which is already installed. System -> Admin -> Printing, New Printer, Network Printer, Windows Printer [05:22] sethk: how do I do that? [05:23] sethk, it usually takes me less time to google than to search a notebook [05:23] nickrud, you're on a computer. You can search your own documents. :) [05:23] ok thans [05:23] thanks [05:23] dtrostis: read the page [05:23] dtrostis, have you installed the samba packages yet? [05:23] there is "printing share for unix" options in windows xp, use that [05:23] beagle, umm, (backups are nice too, I lost every note I ever had a while back ;( [05:23] Bimberi: it says network printing form xp [05:23] dtrostis, I believe the wiki article talks about doing it in both directions [05:24] dtrostis: it's for printing from XP to an printer attached to ubuntu [05:24] I will check the article again [05:24] you don't need samba to print to a windows printer [05:24] what mebsd is another option; I've personally had much better success using samba, but that may be because I don't know much about xp (as little as possible). === nickrud is 50. Still writes longhand when he can. [05:24] to print to an XP printer just do the printer setup, and you should see the printer [05:24] mebsd, you don't need it, no, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a good way to do it. [05:24] I'm stupid enough to not understand, I will check the article and come back if I have questions, thanks [05:25] It's late long day @ work [05:25] nickrud: what is the hkp protocol? then there is ldap... should i change hkp://pgp.mit.edu:11371 to something else? [05:25] "Print Services for Unix" to be exact.. it's in windows xp components [05:25] to print from windows to a unix printer.. you use samba [05:25] nickrud: i guess i have to add a key server, right? [05:25] ejofee, I use keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net [05:25] nickrud: which one would you recommend? [05:26] mebsd, you can use samba either way. [05:26] it doesnt have the driver for my printer there [05:26] mebsd, you have the option of not using samba in one direction, which means also that you have the option of using samba [05:26] why not do it in a easier way [05:26] nickrud: and can my machine access a hkp protocol? === La_Bazkita16 [n=La_Bazki@71-43-112.adsl.terra.cl] has joined #ubuntu [05:26] mebsd, I don't find it easier.

[05:27] mebsd, and samba exists for a reason [05:27] nickrud: i *have to* add it [05:27] ejofee, just that line 'keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net' on a line [05:27] mebsd, there is no overpowering reason to use one method or the other. [05:27] nickrud: it has "ok" disabled, unless i add a port :( [05:28] ejofee, that's beyond me. I have no port mentioned anywhere in my config. That wiki page probably knows a lot more than I.

[06:05] yes [06:05] ElitePete: try using wine for windows stuff. it might be perfect, but vmware is a hell of alot worse. also check out http://appdb.winehq.org/ for more stuff you can run and some howtos on various things [06:05] Toma-, i still don't see how to set which drive wine looks for..

[06:07] luisito: wow. looks like god.. err linux wants us all to move to kde. looks like im a heathen then! :D~ [06:07] luisito: yes, and he is using stupid arguments, same as the gnome-supporters [06:08] dabaR: yes, glad that Linux devs never do that - or use say proprietary versioning software...

[06:09] ok tough question here. i need an output plugin for xmms or other that outputs what's playing to a file for the website [06:09] luisito: but it seems he was a little too personal for being capable for rational arguments [06:09] ejofee: Users are free to not use Gnome if they find it doesn't suit their needs. === Villa [n=Porcupin@CPE-24-209-158-115.wi.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu [06:09] joe_: are you gonna post the error? === Villa is now known as PorcupineTree [06:09] Toma-, i got sc to run but i had the same problem a black bar at the bottom..

[06:12] tonyyarusso: depending on what you want. If they wanted only fx and tb they would then just make those products, and not develop the mozilla. [06:12] heya folks.. gotta small problem with the root account.. for a while I had a password set on the thing (stupid I know, old habits die hard)...

[07:34] ejofee: with a higher version number [07:34] sethk: Well, the installation was straightforward for me...just...if I went back to it now, I'd be confused as hell (and annoyed) [07:34] sethk: And now I build my own kernels, heheh [07:34] sstchur, what did you do to get the sda3? [07:34] Patriot, I generally install from source, and it is the same procedure in all distros. But for most people it is too difficult and inconvenient [07:35] tritium: sorry my daughter woke up.. had to give her a bottle. anyways, correct i have modules in that directory but i have no idea what to do with them. i swear i hate being such a noob.. [07:35] leather_n_luv, nothing.... I just installed ubuntu last night for the fist time and it was on the desktop when i booted up [07:35] tritium: and am i the only one who thinks this to be silly?

I had a gentoo / xp computer for a long time. I wiped the Gentoo partition and replaced it with ubuntu [07:36] sethk: hah indeed.. i have a bottle of stoli somewhere around here ;P [07:36] llamuh: if they are there, you should be able to modprobe them [07:36] I have a mac and was told that it was very similar [07:36] yubimusubi, I've never seen a good reason to spend days compiling, just to get a slower running system. [07:36] tritium: it's nice to know which ones are identical to the original cd version and which ones are not. i don't want to spend my time counting versions and comparing them for finding out which one's update. [07:36] llamuh, my thought exactly. :) [07:36] leather_n_luv, I used to access the windows partition from gentoo all the time [07:36] Patriot: drivers for what?

[07:37] tritium: then how do i know which packages installed on my ubuntu are actually updates? [07:37] yubimusubi, I suppose, but I don't have any intention of doing either. [07:37] HP 1300 [07:37] I should not have installed all this extra junk and just stuck with terminal [07:37] sethk: Besides ubuntu is too damn confusing for me. [07:37] Patriot: HPs usually work in Linux [07:37] yubimusubi: apt-get can build from source easily [07:37] !tell Patriot about printers [07:37] yubimusubi, I port linux to new environments, but I use LFS, not gentoo [07:37] tritium: hah! it would help if i were sudo before i did that, huh? k so ive modprobed them now [07:37] sstchur, msg me [07:37] llamuh: yes, as I suggested ;) [07:38] tritium: Like I said, too confusing...long command lines :P [07:38] leather_n_luv, there is an entry: /dev/sda3 /media/sda3 ntfs [07:38] i hear gentoo is like bsd [07:38] what's the most bsd like linux [07:38] ELpH95o: in which way? [07:38] yubimusubi: nonsense...no longer than emerge commands [07:38] how it has the ports collection [07:38] msg sstchur [07:38] ELpH95o: Gentoo uses a ports-like system...I haven't actually used BSD though [07:38] ejofee: what would you need to know this for? [07:39] yubimusubi, I've used netbsd. It's like gentoo's system, except that it works and gentoo's doesn't. [07:39] Patriot: if you mean the HP 1300 LaserJet, here: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1300 [07:39] sethk: Well, the original reason for me to install Gentoo was to learn more about linux, but I found I liked gentoo so much I stuck with it. [07:39] sethk: Ever heard of SourceMage? [07:39] elph95o how did you find bsd and why you seek linux. Ps just curious not starting a war here :) [07:39] sstchur: what else on the line? [07:39] tritium: i want to know which packages from the cash i need to copy on another machine with no internet connection so that i could update ubuntu there, too [07:39] yubimusubi, gentoo doesn't teach you about linux. It just teaches you about compiling linux. a totally different thing. [07:39] i never could get it to install [07:39] yubimusubi, I've heard of it but I haven't used it.

[11:25] tonyyarusso: cross-over ethernet cable is probably simplest, no different from a regular LAN with a hub [11:26] sdrmm when you mount the new partition on /boot it will hide what ever is in that dir and any read/write will be to the partition, not the ramdisk.

[11:27] tonyyarusso: it's network cable, but the wires are crossed over internally (a hub usually does this part). you just connect two computers via their ethernet cards with a cable and set up your network as usual (#1 goes ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1, #2 goes ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2) and they can communicate [11:27] intelikey, something isnt right, thats what i tried first and it couldnt [11:27] tonyyarusso: usually it's a different colour to regular (blue) CAT5 cable, often yellow [11:27] mount: error while guessing filesystem type [11:27] mount: you must specify the filesystem type [11:28] joedj: So this is a common type of cable that I could pick up at any store?

I guess a GUI geek... I don't wish to trade out my window manager... I rather just switch the whole package...

Gnome on Ubuntu has power management fully included and activated. Evolution is integrated with the date/time thingy, so I have my tasks and appointments ready there... and other things. It's all possible in KDE too, but I'm just too lazy to do all that. :) [05:45] trappist: I think Linus isn't like that. [05:45] rather he just says what he thinks and doesn't care if you don't care.

[05:48] it's just xmms with gtk2 [05:48] nmap on ubuntu said no ports were open [05:48] even though there were [05:48] Jowi: True... I'll look through the net then. [05:48] Does ubuntu work well with sata discs? [05:48] mz2, heh, BMPx is much more than that ;) [05:48] hmpedersen: Yup [05:49] <[darksun] > how can i get DRI loaded? [05:49] gargoyle, and if i have nuffin but sata? [05:49] jenda: "sudo apt-cache search --names-only xmms" should give you a read :) [05:49] bulio, means they're probably stealthed, or being blocked by your router. [05:49] hmpedersen: I just installed it. Ubuntu has gone happily onto the spare room on my SATA II drives and It has spotted my Mirror as 2 separate SATA discs [05:49] <[darksun] > !info DRI [05:49] jenda: actually that "sudo" part is not needed [05:50] can somebody verify this weirdness for me? open Eterm if you have it. run pstree. export LANG="C". run pstree again. [05:50] gtk2: well yes, admittedly, but if you want to cut it down to a few words that's how i'd put it to an xmms user [05:50] but someone ran nmap, and found the ports [05:50] outside of the network [05:50] Jowi: thx [05:50] great.. Cause i am not gonna waste anymore money on cheap hdds! [05:50] mz2, aye, expecially considering BMPx is in heavey devel and inst openly available unless you deliberately seek i out. [05:50] *isnt [05:51] and it can only be a matter of time before this one fails.. But if ubuntu will install on it for now (and run afterwards) then fine.. [05:51] Jowi: no m4a in there [05:51] anyone? [05:51] thatll do till i can afford 2 500gb sata discs [05:52] jenda: .m4a is aac. xmms-mp4 should be the package you're after [05:52] Jowi: And how would I install it?

They are currently mirrored! [05:54] Gargoyle, you'll have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf - what sort of graphics card do you have? [05:55] X800XT [05:55] PCIe [05:55] what is that, an ATI? [05:55] Yup [05:56] Gargoyle: install ati's proprietary drivers and it'll take you through a configurator that will let you set up dual displays. and your 3d accel will work. [05:56] Ahh [05:56] fglrxconfig I think is the command line [05:56] trappist, really? That's quite funky :) [05:56] it's super easy [05:56] when i installed the ati stuff, it knackered everything [05:56] Jowi: Thank you again - it worked :) [05:56] trappist, that's much more fun than editing configuration files :P [05:56] Do I get the drivers direct from ati or via the package manager [05:57] njan: indeed [05:57] about 5fps on tux racer === thorre [i=1000@c-c83ee253.03-28-6c6b7012.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se] has joined #ubuntu [05:57] Gargoyle: erm, I think the ubuntu fglrx package has the fglrxconfig. [05:57] I got mine from ati though. [05:57] <[darksun] > anyone know how do get DRI running for an ATI card? [05:57] greetings [05:57] [darksun] : same thing I just told Gargoyle [05:59] assume that i install the latest version of ubuntu. after a while there is a newer version released. is it as simple as' apt-get update; apt-get distupgrade' to migrate to that new version [05:59] [darksun] : the open source ati drivers don't support dri [05:59] just fyi (cause nobody seems to care), it turns out ubuntu mounts HFS+ as read-only no problem. im gonna reformat my drive as ext2 probably. thanks for your help everyone. [05:59] <[darksun] > thats not my problem tho, it trys to load DRI but fails due to the fact its not loaded from the kernel [05:59] thorre: in theory [05:59] trappist and the catch is? [05:59] thorre: in theory yes. that's how i upgraded from hoary to breezy. there were a few glitches but nothing fatal [06:00] thorre: I've never tried it with ubuntu, but in practice it's hard to make a zillion packages, 100% of which will upgrade cleanly and not break any other packages. [06:00] Jowi can you tell me a bit more about the glitches [06:00] how can i prevent ubuntu users from using sudo? [06:00] thorre: take them out of the sudoers file (visudo) [06:00] thorre, I've upgraded a dozen machines from one version of ubuntu to another and I've never had any major problems. [06:00] njan nice [06:00] thorre: openoffice made the whole installation fail and stop. i had to remove openoffice and resume the upgrade for it to work. i heard other stories about other packages. [06:01] thorre, just don't upgrade in the first couple of days and see if anyone else has any issues, and there's a strong possibility that you'll be problem free. [06:01] Jowi this will not be a issue for me because i im intrested to use ubuntu as a server os [06:01] thefish: only users in /etc/sudoers and/or users that belong to admin group can sudo [06:01] = no x [06:01] thorre, in which case you'll have an even easier time. [06:01] thorre, generally it's graphical and desktop packages which tend to break in my experience.. [06:01] ok [06:01] good for me [06:02] thorre: probably, but you should be aware that it can happen. so backup backup backup [06:02] ;) [06:02] it's a server :=) [06:02] yeah, What Jowi said - just because it tends not to happen all the time doesn't mean it can't :P === simonval1ore [n=simonval@ppp-70-128-121-244.dsl.tulsok.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu [06:03] Mmmmm, coffe time [06:03] Hello could some one tell me what i need to use to access shares from ubuntu to a windows box on the network [06:04] si there a i686 version of ubuntu? === ruiwen [n=rw@bb219-75-62-110.singnet.com.sg] has joined #ubuntu [06:04] Is there a package tool that supports RPMs ? === balrog-kun [i=balrog@174-mo5-1.acn.waw.pl] has joined #ubuntu [06:04] hi [06:05] is the latest kernel binary from apt broken?

[09:03] ka|patrick, it should register the codecs with the player [09:04] is it a tool found in synaptic? [09:04] for gsstream?

[09:07] I'm trying to get Flash to play happily with everything else. I've followed the instructions in "Fixing Flash sound, the better way" and have been rewarded with a Flash player which doesn't play any sound and plays a small amount of video before locking up entirely (either needing a force-quit if I browse anywhere or leaving me with stopped processes if I close it immediately). === {alejandro} [n=alejandr@69.255.3.84] has joined #ubuntu [09:07] ka|patrick, are you on 64bit architecture? [09:07] QQ_ghost, ok..... ??? [09:07] What have I done wrong and what should I do? This would seem to be a common ailment. [09:08] Jormundgand: 32-bit or 64-bit? [09:08] 32-bit. [09:08] sethk: how do i enable a second video card... [09:08] mustard5: no [09:08] ka|patrick, k..I've run out of ideas sorry :) [09:08] <{alejandro}> A query for all: how do I get alsa to work if it is only playing for a second and then stopping [09:08] anyone know about this?

Then you add another section telling X how you want to deal with the dual displays (one virtual screen, separate X displays, etc.) [09:09] Jormundgand: there are two ways, neither of them optimal. 1) use ''aoss firefox'' (in the alsa-oss package), or 2) kill everything using sound before starting firefox [09:09] <{alejandro}> hm [09:09] what have they changed since hoary? [09:09] <{alejandro}> ah [09:09] sethk: so i go to console and type...? === x_or [n=cdawson@sub19-181.member.dsl-only.net] has joined #ubuntu [09:10] <{alejandro}> crimsun: I am having alsa problems too [09:10] QQ_ghost, to do it by hand you (_after_ backing it up) edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I believe, though, that there are configuration tools smart enough to set up dual video. They didn't exist when I set mine up, so I haven't bothered to learn them. === valberg [n=valberg@0x50a47c46.kjnxx6.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk] has joined #ubuntu [09:10] ka|patrick, apparently a lot..i'm currently upgrade from hoary to breezy and it's 450 megs.. [09:10] crimsun: Neither seems to have done any good. [09:10] upgrading* [09:10] alsa? the sound card thing? [09:10] QQ_ghost, at the very least, google for examples of dual video configurations. It's a bit tricky. [09:10] well.. i am sitting here... almost 100hours until now [09:10] Jormundgand: well which are you using now? [09:10] <{alejandro}> crimsun: how do I get it to work if, for example, xmms plays for only one second through alsa [09:11] Can someone point me to the proper repository for lame on breezy? I uncommented multiverse and updated, but doesn't seem to find anthing and google has been no help to me so far. [09:11] and i still cant play videos [09:11] thats sooo weired and annoying [09:11] crimsun: Not sure I understand the question. Reword? [09:11] x_or: apt-cache policy lame [09:11] x_or: don't paste here. [09:11] well i don't get sound in xmms so haha [09:11] <{alejandro}> x_or, I think multiverse [09:11] :( === _jason [n=ribeiro@dhcp0534.hrn.resnet.group.UPENN.EDU] has joined #ubuntu [09:11] Jormundgand: which method are you using?

[09:11] <{alejandro}> well [09:11] <{alejandro}> yeah [09:11] <{alejandro}> alsa starts on startup [09:11] sethk: isn't there the command xfree86config, or something like that? [09:11] <{alejandro}> I see it happen whenever I boot === ElNooboStupido [i=awef@12-218-155-108.client.mchsi.com] has joined #ubuntu [09:11] crimsun: I've got both source and sink set to ALSA in the Multimedia Systems Selector and FIREFOX_DSP is set to "aoss". [09:12] pseudo_smartass, the desktop default configurations start the sound server for you. [09:12] stop that and see what happens [09:12] {alejandro}: pseudo_smartass means esd, the EsounD server. [09:12] i ain't got a sound card issue :P [09:12] <{alejandro}> ahhh [09:12] oh [09:12] yeah [09:12] {alejandro}: System> Preferences> Sound> Enable sound server startup [09:12] esd maybe [09:12] <{alejandro}> I am ignoring esd [09:12] lol [09:12] <{alejandro}> kill that crap [09:12] <_jason> trappist, okay, regarding my gnome issuse after installing KDE. I removed .gnome and .gnome2, but I still can't login with that user. Any thing else you can think of? [09:12] QQ_ghost, there are several configuration programs, including the one you mentioned. I don't know which support dual video. Try that one, you can't lose anything AS LONG AS xorg.conf IS BACKED UP [09:12] <{alejandro}> I get sound from gaim for 30 seconds after I log n then it stops [09:13] <{alejandro}> and I am using aplay for the sound [09:13] QQ_ghost, did I mention that you should back up xorg.conf? ;0 [09:13] <_jason> {alejandro}, are you using alsa? === MrPoopyPants [i=awef@12-218-155-108.client.mchsi.com] has joined #ubuntu [09:13] ka|patrick, what settings do you have in your multimedia systems selector for video?

[09:13] <{alejandro}> _jason, yes [09:13] <{alejandro}> _jason, it hates me [09:13] <_jason> {alejandro}, I just setup my gaim for alsa, let me see if I can find you the directions [09:13] sethk: i fix win computers for a living(started with dos), so i know the importance of backups [09:14] _jason: did you run those commands with or without sudo? [09:14] <{alejandro}> _jason, I am having trouble with alsa in general [09:14] <_jason> trappist, with, I made sure they were gone [09:14] sethk: =) [09:14] QQ_ghost, ok. People forget, and they think oh, I'll remember what it was before. :) [09:14] mustard5: where is that in kde? [09:14] <{alejandro}> _sound in general, honestly [09:14] lol... QQ_ghost [09:14] <{alejandro}> woops [09:14] Jormundgand: no, you're not supposed to set FIREFOX_DSP to aoss [09:14] ka|patrick, ah ok...sorry I assumed gnome [09:14] Jormundgand: set it to 'none' [09:14] <_jason> {alejandro}, if you want alsa for gaim: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/faq.php#q24 [09:14] havent i mentioned that i use kde? [09:14] The easiest way to fix Win computer QQ_ghost is to install Linux on them [09:14] *confused* [09:14] <{alejandro}> _jason I use aplay (file) and it works at first [09:15] what is the command to see if a .deb successfully installed or not? [09:15] <{alejandro}> _jason I think the problem is with alsa [09:15] _jason: I'm not sure that didn't try to delete those directories from /root [09:15] ka|patrick, not since I have been paying attention..you may have mentioned it earlier ..I dont know :) [09:15] crimsun: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75237 <-- told me to use "aossW". [09:15] kk [09:15] s/aossW/aoss/g [09:15] thomas: for most of my friends, i do that! lol [09:15] ka|patrick, have you tried in #kubuntu ? [09:15] QQ_ghost, are they suprised? :P === wuming [n=ming@host66146157c0.dsl.res.tor.fcibroadband.com] has joined #ubuntu [09:16] ok [09:16] Aha! It works! [09:16] Jormundgand: this is precisely what I did: 1) sudo aptitude install alsa-oss , 2) echo "FIREFOX_DSP=none" >> ~/.mozilla-firefoxrc , 3) aoss firefox [09:16] <_jason> trappist, I think I might just copy over everything I want from that account and make a new user [09:16] thomas: what are their reactions? [09:16] mustard5: sure.. but not many people are active there :D [09:16] sooo... [09:16] thomas: you mean that it works and doesn't bend it's self over the coffeetable? [09:16] crimsun: I don't even need "aoss firefox" - just changing FIREFOX_DSP to "none" worked. [09:16] ka|patrick, yep..I understand that :) [09:16] checked libraries and replaced totem gstreamer with totem xine [09:16] now i have video but no sound [09:16] ka|patrick, thats positive :) [09:17] Jormundgand: yes, it will work if no other app has opened "default" [09:17] {alejandro}, i'm having a similar issues...but alsaconf is fine, etc and so is al..crap i forgot the other one [09:17] <_jason> {alejandro}, well I have been noticing problems with alsa as well. If I have BMP playing and I copy a large file, BMP will just stop for no reason [09:17] :) [09:17] Jormundgand: if you want Flash in addition to other sounds, you have to use the method I just described. === padraig [n=chatzill@mckenna1996.plus.com] has joined #ubuntu [09:17] Ah. [09:17] there's a lot of misinformation on the forum [09:17] <{alejandro}> I think alsa should be destroyed [09:17] ka|patrick: see if this help "killall esd" [09:17] ka|patrick, I wouldnt have a clue on configuring sound in KDE :) [09:17] <{alejandro}> why does linux sound have to suck so much [09:17] <_jason> {alejandro}, well it's better than esd [09:17] <{alejandro}> yeah [09:17] ka|patrick: oh, kde? [09:17] it sucks because my sound card sucks [09:17] lol [09:18] eh [09:18] {alejandro}: ok, instead of ranting, describe your problem. It doesn't help me resolve your issue. [09:18] alsa isn't in the same category as esd [09:18] <{alejandro}> sound in general doesn't work === Jormundgand goes to see if a fix in one of the threads he's used will help any. [09:18] <{alejandro}> the alsa server is up [09:18] why does arts not work :( [09:18] <{alejandro}> xmms plays for one second with alsa [09:18] could someone explain me how to check that arts is working? === trappist pets his hardware-mixing sound card [09:18] <{alejandro}> gaim with aplay (file) for sound works for 30 seconds before stopping sound [09:18] Hey, sound works even worse in Windows. But, most people never really use their sound cards in the way they were designed. Alsa is pretty nice IMHO. [09:18] <{alejandro}> speakertest and mixer make sound [09:18] ka|patrick: ps aux | grep arts [09:19] {alejandro}: paste onto http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org the output from ''lsmod && cat /proc/asound/cards && amixer'' [09:19] <_jason> okay, after my experience with kde, I'd like to remove all of the packages it installed. Is there an easy way to do this? [09:19] <{alejandro}> ok [09:19] Yeah..same for me but xmms makes no sound, whatsoever [09:19] {alejandro}: then tell me the url === Jormundgand [n=ubuntu@cpc2-oxfd8-4-0-cust65.oxfd.cable.ntl.com] has left #ubuntu ["Beanz] [09:19] trans_err: i'll enter this in konsole, right? [09:19] thomas: did you change xmms's output plugin to alsa? [09:19] lo there, if an attempted breezy install can't find my partition table (sees disk as single partition) is it all b0rked - I do have a printed version of my previous partition table. is it worth trying to recreate it by hand...?

[09:41] Jormundgand: then point me to the bug # [09:41] KDE|patrick: they're apples and oranges [09:41] ompaul: I'm pretty sure I get sound from other video formats, just not flash. [09:41] KDE|patrick: well, alsa is the standard in the kernel [09:41] crimsun: There isn't a bug; I was making a generalised statement. [09:41] Jormundgand: I've tested fairly extensively. Right now I've got homestarrunner, pandora, and totem-gstreamer all running simultaneously with sound [09:42] thomas, if you are on gnome you can go to the system>>preferences>>mulitmedia system selector [09:42] well... with alsa i have no sound in any kde app like amarok :( [09:42] i <3 you mustard5 [09:42] ompaul: I'm not sure what you mean by "dealt with", [09:42] ompaul: But I'm pretty sure I followed the restricted formats page for installing flash support. [09:42] ompaul: I'll check again. [09:42] puff, you also need to do [09:43] Jormundgand: got a test case that doesn't work for you? [09:43] KDE|patrick, does amarok have internal preferences to switcht to alsa? [09:43] no [09:43] puff, audio formats from that page === QRZ [n=rob@freenode/supporter/active/RobertPectol] has joined #ubuntu [09:43] and i cant find a outputplugin for that either [09:43] puff, sry just off 12 hours work - slow to type now :) [09:43] KDE|patrick: amarok uses engines. It's up to the engine to select the audio backend. [09:43] crimsun: Easy. I run "aoss firefox" and open any flash movie you care to mention and the result is a small amount of video followed by what amounts to a crash (if I close the window I have to cull two stopped firefox-bin processes, if I try to browse anywhere it hangs and I have to force-quit). === albacker [n=eni@customer-side2-telecomalbania.atnet.com.al] has joined #ubuntu [09:43] ompaul: per RestrictedFormats, try [09:44] oops [09:44] ompaul: Hm, I remember installing a slew of audio stuff.

[09:45] either amarok or kaffeine [09:45] crimsun: It exists, but I can't remember what to do with it to see it. [09:45] <_jason> i have multiple sounds using alsa... [09:45] but if one of the other is already running :/ [09:45] KDE|patrick: that's your sound card's fault for not doing hardware mixing. the purpose of arts/esd is to do that for you in software. [09:46] ompaul: Ah... I will try trappist's advice. Also found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-75237.html [09:46] KDE|patrick: that's only true if one of the following is true: 1) the app uses alsa's oss emulation, or 2) the app uses the specific hw virtual device (bypassing "default") === marsu_ is now known as marsu [09:46] <_jason> if I want to add a new user, should I use adduser or useradd?

[09:48] Jormundgand: no, because my battery's going to die [09:48] back in 5 minutes. [09:48] puff: did you try adding FIREFOX_DSP="none" to ~/.mozilla/firefox/rc ? [09:49] trappist: Not yet. [09:49] trappist: wait... I just realized the "file exists" was because I accidentally double-pasted. [09:49] if anyone has a sec I have a question about ubuntn and scsi [09:49] heh.

[11:16] and don't mind editing config files to do it [11:16] im to used to gentoo's portage === SY0724F [n=SY0724F@200.143.84.143] has joined #ubuntu [11:16] honestly? yes. [11:16] i like xfwm, and xfce4 [11:16] they work very well [11:16] <{alejandro}> I might try the enlightenment-xfce combo [11:16] Hi all, please I have installed "ubuntu 5.10" and there is missed password for thr root access? can someone know it please. [11:16] xfce4 is a dm and fluxbnox a wm.. desktop manager and window manager. [11:16] <{alejandro}> I heard that was great [11:16] thanks nickrud i'll look into it [11:17] ubotu tell NiZo_ about RootSudo [11:17] <{alejandro}> xfce for handling gnome and kde stuff and enlightenment wm [11:17] Personally I prefer KDE .. it's just so nice, has all the features I've enjoyed in other WM's, and so forth [11:17] NiZo_, maybe the user password ! try that. [11:17] NiZo_, the password is same as your user account [11:17] thomas, I used that on a voodoo and an i810, works well [11:17] NiZo_: ubotu just PM'd you a link [11:17] !tell NiZo_ about root [11:17] <{alejandro}> use sudo [11:17] .. hmm.. possibly except one. Afterstep had a wonderfull feature .. that you could scroll from one desktop to the next. [11:17] albacker, yes, but xfce4 comes with xfwm, xfce's window manager [11:17] how do i use apt-get for .deb's ive downloaded [11:17] .. and stop inbetween. [11:17] thomas :) yes .. [11:18] qwehnce: sudo dpkg -i [11:18] that one I miss. Except for that one, KDE fills all my needs. :) [11:18] thanks [11:18] how would i set it in python nickrud? === os2mac [n=jim@ip68-10-71-214.hr.hr.cox.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:18] runevi, I believe FVWM also has a virtual desktop [11:18] is there a page or summat? i'm more of a c/java guy [11:18] pozdiy: Yeah, it does. Problem is, I don't _like_ FVWM. :-/ [11:18] Like I said I've been using Linux long enough that I know exactly what I need, and what I like, so I just tweaked Flux to be that :D [11:18] pozdiy: While I _love_ KDE. :-) [11:18] thomas, no, get gammapage, it's a python app. you can adjust the gamma with that. To make it permanent, add a line Gamma to your monitor config in xorg.conf [11:18] I used GNOME, then XFCE [11:18] <{alejandro}> kyral, can you use flux with xfce [11:19] runevi, OK [11:19] <{alejandro}> like replace xfwm [11:19] {alejandro}: no idea [11:19] and about the KDE enveronnement how can I install it? [11:19] <{alejandro}> I think it is time to try [11:19] scroll from one desktop to the next? [11:19] thanks nickrud i misunderstood [11:19] <{alejandro}> because fluxbox is just a wm [11:19] NiZo_: apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [11:19] <{alejandro}> correct? [11:19] NiZo_: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop === albacker goes [11:19] KDE is too bloated for smaller systems...i'm on 300mhz atm...lol === albacker greets all [11:19] {alejandro}: yes === albacker quits [11:19] <{alejandro}> k [11:19] <{alejandro}> and it will take the --replace flag [11:19] thomas: I used to run KDE under FreeBSD on a 200Mhz, and it worked like a charm. === tdn [n=tdn@butch.adora.dk] has joined #ubuntu [11:19] thomas: For some reason, I've never had as fast a KDE as 3.0 under FreeBSD [11:20] crimson: It didnt :( [11:20] crimson: I couldnt get online with that :( [11:20] thomas, blackbox and its derivatives use vector graphics for their widgets, wonder if any other WM does the same? [11:20] thomas: .. and that was a box with only 128mb ram :) [11:20] in kde you actually can scroll from one desktop to the next.. [11:20] <{alejandro}> same in xfce [11:21] Kibou: Okay? [11:21] Kibou: with Fluxbox as well [11:21] Kibou: and 'stop' in between? [11:21] runevi, tried on 700MHz celeron and it was hellish [11:21] Kibou: .. and have one app "in between" one desktop and another? :) [11:21] using gentoo linux [11:21] ah.. I see.. no not like that :) [11:21] thomas: Strange.. it runs wonderfully on my 900Mhz Duron. [11:22] I have enough power to run KDE, but for some reason I like Fluxbox [11:22] Hi, Is any app in Breezy to download my contacts from my SonyEricsson T10i cell phone to my pc, in any format, through infrared? [11:22] add brightside to gnome and get edgeflipping as well [11:22] pozdiy, no idea...i can tell you ones i know that don't :P [11:22] runevi, and i had 384MB of RAM [11:23] thomas, that fact makes them extremely fast on slower machines... === hmpedersen [n=hmpeders@0x535ea635.hsnxx3.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk] has joined #ubuntu [11:23] pozdiy, yeah, lightweight wm's are nice, i just don't like the menu-based system === WildPenguin [n=chris@250.160.233.220.exetel.com.au] has joined #ubuntu [11:23] thomas, what do you prefer instead? [11:24] I actually love the right click menu :D [11:24] i have to use f12 to right clock so it annoys me === ericz [n=eric@ip68-96-207-31.hr.hr.cox.net] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] [11:24] pozdiy, i like toolbar and panel based systems [11:25] i guess you could refer to them as menu bar based systems as well [11:25] i'd use fluxbox if i could find a decent theme, and right clicking was a little easier with a one button mouse :P [11:26] thomas, I can't live without 3-button mouse - copy-paste with left and middle buttons - how to do that with 1 button? === [alejandro] [n=[alejand@69.255.3.84] has joined #ubuntu [11:28] <[alejandro] > ah [11:28] <[alejandro] > well that went badly [11:29] pozdiy, usually it involves a button combo [11:29] hold on..imma grab a usb mouse === chii [i=chii@freenode/bot/chii] has joined #ubuntu [11:29] <[alejandro] > wait, what's the prob? [11:29] yay right clickery === heyodee [n=heyodee@ool-45734770.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #ubuntu === heyodee [n=heyodee@ool-45734770.dyn.optonline.net] has left #ubuntu [] [11:31] i wanna kick gstreamer..it's taking forever to set up [11:31] it's been an hour or so now === welp [n=peter@82-70-75-246.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu [11:32] How do I remove an md-array from the bootup procedures? [11:33] I've got a corrupt md-array, which hangs ubuntu during boot. Howerver, it's not needed for booting, and I'll gladly just recreate it. [11:33] There is currently no data on it. [11:33] I get the error: "glibc detected - corrupted double-linked list" - and the system hangs. [11:33] but it's just a fscked md-array. [11:33] well, non-fsckable anyways ;D === lamp_ [n=lamp@d51A5BCD4.access.telenet.be] has joined #ubuntu === chii [i=chii@freenode/bot/chii] has joined #ubuntu === nickrud [n=aias@adsl-69-153-201-174.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net] has joined #ubuntu === lilg [n=lilg@host86-128-0-23.range86-128.btcentralplus.com] has joined #ubuntu [11:37] runevi, dpkg-reconfigure mdadm ? [11:37] pozdiy: Well, no. [11:37] Evening all, ive had a little trouble with my cd drive on my laptop, but i did find a 6meg mini iso which works but in installation something didnt install and failed [11:37] pozdiy: The kernel I _can_ boot with doesn't have drivers that recognize the sata-controllers. [11:37] runevi, sorry then [11:37] i can boot into ubuntu and get bash, can i see where it failed? [11:37] pozdiy: The kernel I _cannot_ boot with recognized the sata-controllers .. ubuntu tries to use the drive, and the box hangs. [11:38] pozdiy: It's probably a configuration file I just need to remove a line from. [11:38] pozdiy: Or a rcX.d script I need to remove from a runlevel. [11:38] pozdiy: But I'm fscked if it just checks the disk for an md-partition and goes bust if the partition is bust. [11:38] (in which case ubuntu should fix it) [11:39] (.. since i need to reinstall then ;) === LeeJunFan [n=junfan@adsl-69-210-207-5.dsl.klmzmi.ameritech.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:41] anybody got any idea's? [11:43] please can someone help me with this command line using ubuntu 5.10: ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx === Jormundgand [n=ubuntu@cpc2-oxfd8-4-0-cust65.oxfd.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu [11:43] NiZo_: yes. [11:43] NiZo_: If i remember correctly, drop 'ether', and just fill in the mac. [11:44] lilg, to look under /var/log? [11:44] NiZo_: Or , drop 'hw'.. don't remember exactly, but the manpage is not exact there. === {alejandro} [n=alejandr@69.255.3.84] has joined #ubuntu [11:44] <{alejandro}> hm [11:44] <{alejandro}> messing with window managers is funner than I thought [11:45] runevi: when I have wrote the command that I have given : it said that the command is nor permitted === [alejandro] [n=[alejand@69.255.3.84] has left #ubuntu [] [11:45] Is there some way to search does some file contain some rows, that one other file also contains? [11:45] So I'm trying to get dmix working across the board. As always, Flash in Firefox is the problem. I've set ALSA_OSS_PCM_DEVICE=/dev/dsp in /etc/environment and have pastebinned my asound.conf here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5837 - what am I missing? [11:45] NiZo_: You need to remove either 'hw' or 'ether' from the command, I don't remember which one. The manpage is wrong. === mfarquhar [i=mfarquha@c-67-180-9-204.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:45] grr why didnt i think og it === zparta [n=zparta@ipv6.hispan.se] has joined #ubuntu [11:46] Jormundgand, I may be wrong here, but I think you need to put that environment var in /etc/profile, not /etc/environment [11:46] i have added a controllercard to my system, its found in lspci but dmesg says nothing about it, do i have do detect it or something so the kernel module is loaded ? [11:46] does anybody here know how to fix KDM/KDE/X problems? [11:47] runevi:ok, and about the command "service", on other distrib I use for exemple => service network stop|start|restart ==> and under ubuntu ? [11:47] NiZo_: Probably /etc/init.d/network or something === sc212212 [n=sc212212@client-82-3-249-189.glfd.adsl.virgin.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:47] Jormundgand, never mind me, I had a bit of a brain foart here [11:48] NiZo_: I'm an ubuntu newbie, so don't expect exact ubuntu questions from me. But I've had the same problem as you with mac-addresses. ;D [11:48] NiZo_: .. but then undre suse. ;D [11:48] NiZo_, the command you're looking for is invoke-rc.d [11:48] pozdiy: possible to copy the contents of this hard drive onto the laptop, this being almost fresh install? [11:49] nickrud, so the command "service" is "invoke-rc.d" ? [11:49] I need to find a way to get Firefox's Flash player to play through dmix. Currently if I try to dmix anything while a Flash movie is playing I get "Device or resource busy". [11:49] NiZo_, the closest analogue, yes. [11:49] But two "aplay -Dplug:dmix /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav" processes happily interweave. [11:50] NiZo_, invoke-rc.d cupsys stop , for example === mumbles-scouts [n=admin@cpc2-bror1-6-0-cust74.bmly.cable.ntl.com] has joined #ubuntu === sc212212 [n=sc212212@client-82-3-249-189.glfd.adsl.virgin.net] has left #ubuntu ["Leaving"] === mumbles-scouts is now known as mumbles [11:50] http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/5.10/ [11:51] whats the difference between the install and live cd links on there?

IT/ITE8212 Dual channel ATA RAID controller (PCI version seems to be IT8212, embedded seems (rev 13) [11:52] is there anyway to check if the module needed for that one is present ? [11:52] if i run the install will it delete xp ? [11:52] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5838 - I was playing the Flash movie and tried to play the sound. This is the result. [11:52] it could possibly delete XP if you don't know how to repartition your drive [11:52] through the installer === {alejandro} [n=alejandr@69.255.3.84] has joined #ubuntu [11:53] jahshua, no, *if you resize the xp partition to make room for ubuntu. The installer can do that. (defrag before installing) [11:53] i think i have already repartioned it, i reinstalled and i now have a c: drive, d: drive and a boot utility partition on my f12 menu at reboot [11:53] when you install you need to keep your existing XP partiton then add however many Ubuntu partitions 1-to-lots and a swap partiton about twice the size of your current ram [11:53] if you don't care about d:, you can use that partition. [11:54] im using d: as my main one currently [11:54] D: = windows swap unless it is another physical drive (ussually) [11:54] or c:, I was being traditional :) [11:55] swap = virtual memory in case you didn't know === macuserondope [n=mac@p5483D6B8.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:55] d: total space 37gb c: 100mb [11:55] heh [11:56] i may have made a boob of the reinstall :p [11:56] that's odd [11:56] like i said i attempted a repartition === Zdra [n=zdra@6-227.242.81.adsl.skynet.be] has joined #ubuntu [11:56] A friend is asking me for advice on setting up linux on a mac, how well does ubuntu do on mac?

[11:57] {alejandro}: He hasn't bought it yet. [11:57] <{alejandro}> puff it is aright but sometimes there can be display problems with older macs [11:57] ubuntu should work fine on MAC if you have proper install CD for PowerPC architecture === b_e_n_z [n=Mercedes@pcd259124.netvigator.com] has joined #ubuntu [11:57] <{alejandro}> puff My old g3 bondi imac couldn't handle it very well === MattwestM [n=Mattwest@adsl-221-58-230.rmo.bellsouth.net] has joined #ubuntu [11:58] <{alejandro}> puff is he plannin on dualbooting? [11:58] i think he does want to dual boot [11:58] you may have problems with non-free multimedia on a mac [11:58] {alejandro}: I suspect he has no idea :-) [11:58] {alejandro}: Sez new mac, no dual-boot. [11:58] <{alejandro}> puff I would reccommend it because mac os x is rather nice [11:58] if yopu want to dual boot follow these simple instructions: (well maybe not so simple) [11:58] install XP first [11:59] {alejandro}: It's gonna be a laptop. [11:59] then begin ubuntu installation === lllmanulll is now known as lllmanulll|plouf [11:59] <{alejandro}> puff actually, then it is not a good idea [11:59] <{alejandro}> puff new laptops use the airport express card, which lacks free drivers [11:59] <{alejandro}> puff what he could do instead, though, is use opendarwin or something [11:59] anyone know how to copy this install over to another hard drive? [11:59] actually... [12:00] when i gets to partitioning keep your XP partion but rersize it to whatever size and then add Ubuntu and Swap partitions [12:00] install
