[00:00] Lamego: ok ill bite whats gutsy? just installed this today so sorry for noob question [00:00] Just 3 square nodes. [00:00] locellcount: I can look it up. I still have Fiesty on my VM. [00:00] Beta-guy, when the mirrors do not have problems, yes [00:00] nah one is round [00:00] MTughan: Cheers!

[00:01] move that [00:01] Unbutu[G33Z3R, Gutsy is the release name for the latest Ubuntu version which was released today [00:01] sco50000: it's usually a question of trying several routes...best 1st step is goolging for ubuntu + your hardware...usually you aren't the first to crash & burn [00:01] gutsy is the newest version of ubuntu: 7.10 [00:01] murkyMurk: ok, i'll try that [00:01] sco50000, yes [00:01] I am going to reinstall 7.04 and do the update instead [00:01] lem so all i have to do is look in system and search for the 2nd hdd and ill be able to pull media files off? thanks for the help [00:01] sco50000: yes, but new doesn't always mean backwards comaptible [00:01] am i the only one? "Getting Upgrade Prerequisites failed:The system was unable to get the prerequisites" [00:01] capiira: How can I get it to take something like a spreadsheet? [00:01] locellcount: Do you use Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [00:01] ubuntu [00:02] skyrocker67, why not just skip the install of 7.04 and install 7.10 if thats what you want [00:02] So GNOME... [00:02] I think I screwed my linux up... [00:02] no way [00:02] MTughan: yup [00:02] he... I'm wondering one thing... is ubuntu goatse out yet? couldn't find it anywhere.... [00:02] skyrocker67, its kinda a extra step not needed [00:02] * kitche thinks people should wait a while before upgrading unless you know what your really doing incase it breaks which it usually does within the first 2 weeks [00:02] sivik; pm [00:02] inter-net: it doesn't works for me [00:02] younan1, no, i had the same problem..the servers are being sucked dry right now so it's kinda slow going [00:02] Deryk, private message [00:02] then you need to use the one from spreadsheet app [00:02] strav: Gutsy. And yes. [00:02] um [00:02] murkyMurk: i was just answering someone's question: "what is gusty?" [00:02] hey people. how do i install themes onto ubuntu? [00:02] it took me 7 hrs to download the gutsy dvd but i was also downloading the i386 iso and the amd64 iso at the same time [00:02] oh wait [00:02] strav it came out today 18/10/07 go to www.ubuntu.com [00:02] for people who have downloaded the desktop cd's for upgrades [00:02] sco50000: lol..soz..on auto-pilot [00:02] i have 7.10 install but cant get my broadcom wifi working which is suppose to be fixed [00:02] i didnt reg my nick yet [00:02] use the alternate cd's instead [00:02] is there any way to get .mp3 and .m4a support in gutsy x64? [00:02] stray77 7 hours?how fast is your broadband? [00:03] skyrocker67, doing the upgrade will not be a solution [00:03] and where can i find good caps for the beryl system. i got venom spiderman thats it o.O [00:03] Deryk, go ahead and do that [00:03] capiira: Are you there? [00:03] rkyraccoon55, play one of them with totem and it will guide you through installing the required packages [00:03] yeah [00:03] Xore|work, use the alt cd to upgrade? [00:03] * nomaS is away: vuelvo [00:03] PriceChild so i can remove the desktop effects thing from the main menu? how come this wasnt removed, is more stuff on my system not up to date then? can i somehow clean all this old stuff up? [00:03] ok then what the heck can I do? [00:03] I mean, installing the older version and performing the upgrade, will not resolve your hw support problem [00:03] bluefox83, you sure its just a bandwidth issue? I've tried it repeatedly on one computer and keep getting this problem, but on another computer connected to the same internet connetion, it worked the first time [00:03] rkyraccoon55: mp3 can't be that hard.. I have, apparently, done it in the past and I'm not that clever =) [00:03] robotphood: yes [00:03] skyrocker67, what kind of problem is it?

[00:05] if you don't want to have to connect to ubuntu servers (ie, bloody slow) to run updates, then use the alternate cds (see above link) [00:05] can somebody explain to me why when i enter sudo apt-get install k3b doesn't install k3b? is there an alternative? [00:05] Unbutu[G33Z3R, Welcome to Ubuntu ;) [00:05] does anyone know what to do for getting gutsy to boot even with Nvidia 7300 GS card i have? [00:05] axjv but you could code it in flex [00:05] locellcount: It was Sans in Feisty too. Sans Bold for titles, and Monospace for fixed-width. [00:05] Jacob, what error do you get ? [00:05] capiira: Oh, okay. Well what was that other program you mentioned? [00:05] demon_spork: it didn't work for me neither (using 880 gtx) [00:05] pppo_dude what's with the message u sent me? :s [00:05] say no to most recent packages, do them in a week or tomorrow or when the servers aren't loaded down [00:05] Jacob, if are using the main mirror, you may ne unable to install packages due to the high server load [00:05] garu, are you using cable in canada by chance? [00:05] axjv also don't have that [00:05] MTughan: weird, it looks totally different since the update... Ah well [00:05] !ubotu fubar [00:05] Sorry, I know nothing about that - try http://help.ubuntu.com/community/ [00:05] this is a very busy channel [00:05] Slart, so did the install work from the text installer? [00:05] pppoe_dude what's with the message u sent me? :s [00:05] capiira: Or somebody else said dia? [00:05] demon_spork: oh.. I upgraded.. didn't install from scratch.. [00:05] MTughan: Cheers for looking though, appreciate it [00:05] stray77 I'm using cable in London!lol [00:06] Anytime. [00:06] Lamego never mind, and it's jacob_ not jacob, it now went nevermind, thx anyways [00:06] pazsion: yes?

To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [00:06] Slart, I want to see a clean install of gutsy before I determine it is worth upgrading [00:06] i installed from live cd so while i surfed the net unbuntu did its ting [00:06] demon_spork: but that new failsafe x thingy just died when I tried to run it.. so much for being failsafe [00:06] axjv dia is like ms visio maybe it has a such function [00:06] instal hangs after .. it tries to get online during install [00:06] i'm trying to run gedit remotely, and it says "The application 'gedit' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application." [00:06] i used torrents to get "ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso" or whatever it's called... that's the release version isn't it? [00:06] garu, thats why, both rogers and cogeco are bandwidth shaping and using QoS to kill torrents [00:06] Colro, and example from my fstab to get you going: //192.168.0.3/pictures-archive /mnt/pictures-archive cifs rw,exec,credentials=/etc/cifspw 0 100 [00:06] demon_spork: I wouldn't have upgraded if I knew how much trouble I would have [00:06] stray77 rogers and cogeco...? :s!lol [00:06] Slart, I figured out how to do it!!!!!! [00:07] I swear.... I never before noticed there is a MINESWEEPER game in the console version of aptitude [00:07] Slart: i had no probs what so ever and im on a really poor puter [00:07] 'fraid so [00:07] Hmm... That's really odd. Edubuntu is downloading much faster than Ubuntu on BitTorrent. [00:07] garu, what message [00:07] demon_spork: oh? spread the wisdom.. [00:07] Slart, just hit Alt+Ctrl+Backspace and it loads [00:07] pazsion: that is not an i810 problem, that is because the servers are being swamped by millions of people all upgrading at once [00:07] i envy all of you? i just want to install and use the gutsy livecd like i would normally always do. i'm not going to settle for text-based installation or any alternate cd's :( [00:07] capiira: I have an idea: Can the trial of Illustrator work on Wine? [00:07] Colro, the key is the credentials= [00:07] demon_spork: so.. restart X and it works? well.. that wasn't so hard [00:07] axjv dunno i never used wine [00:07] Slart, I don't know why, but just restarting X after the live boot worked [00:07] the have you got the live cd ? [00:08] axjv but you could run xp inside vmware or virtual box and use illustrator there [00:08] Slart, do you want to try it so we can make a post about it on the forums? [00:08] bluefox83 the problem fixed itself eventually? just kept trying? [00:08] need help: misclicked and interrupted ext3 format... can i return my NTFS partition back? (cfdisk says fatal eror: cannot open disk drive) [00:08] pppoe_dude [00:03:30] pppoe_dude wants you to know: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:08] Slart, if it is a working solution [00:08] demon_spork: I'll have to try that.... I had to roll back to my old xorg.conf etc by hand before I could get anything up and running [00:08] axjv or dual boot [00:08] garu, id call them up and complain. [00:08] is it wise to go from ubuntustudio to an upgrade of Gutsy?: [00:08] tell them to quit F$%#ing with your bandwidth [00:08] capiira: Well, my windows partition died on me, so I don't think that's an option. [00:08] ha [00:09] demon_spork: unfortunately I don't have an install CD for gutsy... and I'm guessing the download servers are slowly melting as we speak [00:09] its a cannot allocate pci-bridge 7 of 8 about 7-8 times on boot [00:09] #wehatevista still exists... [00:09] younan1, actually i opted to get a torrent and i'll burn it to cd and install later when the servers aren't so bogged down [00:09] if i've been updating gutsy all the way since beta started i should have the final product right now, right? [00:09] bluefox83, my var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log says at the bottom "ERROR pre-requists item 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/r/release-upgrader-dpkg/release-upgrader-dpkg_1.14.5ubuntu11.2_i386.udeb' is NOT trusted" [00:09] axjv you can also code it in flex/flash and link to a xml file with numbers then you will never need to draw a pie chart again [00:09] murkymurk, check your PM's [00:09] Slart: your solution is known as "bittorrent" [00:09] tried apt-get install comiz it aint getting it [00:09] capiira: How difficult would that be? [00:09] i am trying to get the torrent, it is being rather slow to connect to the tracker apparently [00:09] pazsion: checked, none there [00:10] bittorents bad i like utorrent [00:10] stray77 nah...no biggie... [00:10] Xore|work: hehe.. yea..the torrent should work [00:10] Slart, it took me like an hour and a half using the torrent [00:10] bluefox83, why wait for the servers to clear up if you downloaded the iso? (im guessing the alternate) [00:10] axjv you would need to learn actionscript 3 [00:10] Unbutu[G33Z3R: huh utorrent is used for bittorrents [00:10] i downloaded gutsy server in 10 minutes w/ torrent [00:10] axjv but i think adobe also have afew examples online [00:10] bittorrent is a different application than utorrent. [00:10] can anyone help noob with partitioning? [00:10] capiira: I think I'll save that for another day. Or if there is some sort of script I can just input my data into... [00:10] garu, Oct 18 18:47:01 [00:10] Xore|work: That's better than I'm doing... [00:10] the tracker is refusing my connection :( [00:10] huh but utorrent not linux i have to download rtorrent [00:10] yeah, alex jones is back..he's funny [00:10] same function tho [00:10] if i've been updating gutsy all the way since beta started i should have the final product right now, right? [00:10] does anyone remember where the settings for GRUB is located? want computer to boot XP as default [00:10] desktop and alternate took longer, but no more than an hour [00:11] sisseck: /boot/grub [00:11] sisseck: /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:11] quick q, just installed gutsy on laptop where are settings for compiz key bindings etc? [00:11] thanks [00:11] clmbngbkng: yep [00:11] hi, just a quick question, before I wipe my windows, what's the likely-hood of having problems with two monitors with a 8600GT on the new release? [00:11] not the alternate..and because since i got the cd iso it's going to have to download from the servers anyways, the servers are very bogged down right now..so i'm going to wait it out a bit [00:11] ok apt-get instal compiz aint working says nothing found [00:11] garu, EDT [00:11] Xore|work: Desktop's looking like 7+ hours here. [00:11] axjv http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001234.html [00:11] murkyMurk: ty [00:11] is there a way to increase performance in ubuntu gutsy again by switching off Xgl on the fly? I need it for gaming.. best would be without having to re-login :) [00:11] Keef_: slim [00:11] gnome-compiz [00:11] While Edubuntu is less than 20 minutes left... [00:11] pppoe_dude ???????????????? [00:11] kst-: well if you use Xgl you need to logoff to get rid of it [00:12] so i should type apt-get gnome-compiz? [00:12] got a small question how can i get transparent menus in ubuntu 7.10 [00:12] pppoe_dude what's EDT| [00:12] pppoe_dude what's EDT? [00:12] I think I do, using proprietary ati drivers coz the free ones are much slower :) [00:12] garu, eastern daylight time [00:12] MTughan: maybe when your edubuntu is done, your client will give more pipe to your ubuntu desktop [00:12] bluefox83 thanks for your input, i'll just try to be more patient, bt if it doesn't work out i'll just get the iso and do a clean install [00:12] pppoe_dude ooohh..ok! [00:12] Xore|work: Ubuntu was started before Edubuntu. [00:12] How can I mount a DVD image? [00:12] garu, GMT -0500 [00:12] carlhako: you need the compizconfig-settings-manager [00:12] who do i open port 6112? [00:13] younan1, ok, hope it works out for you =) [00:13] warcraft 3 xD [00:13] !aclocal [00:13] colbert, mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/image /path/to/target [00:13] bluefox83 thanks again, i hope so [00:13] can someone tell me what's the big difference between the livedvd and the livecd?is it just the fact that the livedvd has more packages? [00:13] When attempting to enable desktop effects on an ATI card, I'm getting "The Composite extension is not available" anyone know how to fix this? [00:13] Sorry, I don't know anything about aclocal - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:13] question guys, i'm trying to do a apt-get update, and i'm pretty sure the local mirror is not working for me, how do I change to another mirror? [00:13] Hello..I'm having a lot of trouble getting DRI working in Gutsy... I have a Geforce 7600 GT graphics card, and the nvidia drivers load (and give splash) during X starting [00:13] garu: yep [00:13] Unbutu[G33Z3R, read this page -> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/category/compizberyl/ [00:13] capiira: What filetype is a flex script? [00:13] Anyone else get the following message when trying to boot live cd: "I/O Error Error reading boot CD"? I also get the number 004420082 printed at the top left of the screen. [00:13] I'm on the DRI troubleshooting page and it doesn't seem to be helping me [00:13] astronaught, thats probably because the cd is burned badly [00:13] axjv http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder_linux/ [00:13] astronaught, did you check the md5sums? [00:14] ta stray77 much appreciated [00:14] Megaqwerty: you need to install/enable aiglx on ati [00:14] Abraxas_: see if you have load dri commented or not in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:14] dmesg | grep drm <----gives me blank [00:14] what happened to our bot [00:14] who do i open port 6112? [00:14] sivik: Did he stick it in a fire? :P [00:14] murkyMurk: so, frglx doesn't work? [00:14] sivik: can i run md5sum on my /dev/hdc device? will that work as a check? [00:14] I have ubuntu on my laptop but want to put it on a friend's old computer. she's running windows ME right now (horrid, I know). Anyway, for some reason I can get to the install screen from the cd but then it goes to "(initramfs)" type of prompt....any ideas? [00:14] axjv with that you can create *.swf files [00:14] astronaught, it might [00:14] murkymurk, check your PMS [00:14] murkyMurk do I get all the packages by doing a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade from the livecd installed?or not really? [00:14] kitche, I've added load dri because it wasn't there...sadly, after restarting X, "grep -i "Direct rendering" /var/log/Xorg.0.log" is giving me a blank response [00:14] i want to be able to do everything i want in a specific directory called /testserver (create/edit/delete directories and files), even if the contents gets updated (new directories etc) without having to do anything at all (only right now).. how to do that? [00:14] anyone? [00:14] how do i get aclocal installed [00:14] sivik: is there another way to check the CD checksum? [00:14] how do i make X server work During the liveCD? [00:14] capiira: This seems a bit overkill to me, but whatever you say o.o [00:14] Megaqwerty: that is the end of my ati knowledge [00:14] hello ppl, i am in need of advice. Im new to ubuntu and second time install i made a mistake: clicked use entire disk instead of manual when prompted for partitioning; so i interupded it after a few sec and it seems my entire disk is gone. what can i do to rescue partitions? [00:15] i'm trying to run gedit remotely, and it says "The application 'gedit' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application." [00:15] murkyMurk: heh, alright, thanks [00:15] it wouldn't let me edit xorg.conf the last time and it looked like a cropped file [00:15] astronaught, there should be an option during the boot to check the cd [00:15] you cant ppls [00:15] pazsion: I HAVE NO PRIVATE MESSAGES [00:15] How do I change the ubuntu mirror I am using... this particiular machine is having problems getting to us.archive.ubuntu.com [00:15] who do i open port 6112? enyone? [00:15] Abraxas_: well glxinfo|grep direct rendering will tell you but if you use the nvidia driver you don't need load dri in your xorg.conf anymore [00:15] sivik: I get the same message when I select that too... [00:15] the us always suck [00:15] ppls: after a format, everything gets lost [00:15] astronaught, then you might want to burn a different disc [00:15] axjv just a solution maybe not the easiert but the most effective if you need to do that often [00:15] sivik: right-o. thanks. [00:15] xtlosx: System>Administration>Software Sources [00:15] it seems like there is something wrong with it [00:15] madsy_, on what? your router? [00:15] ppls, if it hasn't actually done anything yet, how about taking the drive out and trying to put it on a computer as the slave drive, then just transfer what you need? [00:15] deryk, read on forums it might b returned... [00:16] I am having trouble mounting ntfs partitions from the gutsy livecd [00:16] no #ubuntu+1 ? [00:16] kitche: I had thought that... I just added it as a last resort before coming here... it's giving me "no" and suggesting I use LIBGL_DEBUG =verbose...having used that on glxgears I get no debugging info [00:16] emm im using live cd and i cant do anything with it [00:16] OK, it will allow me to change the mirrors? [00:16] why doesn't update-manager -d work on getting 7.04->7.10 ? [00:16] i want to be able to do everything i want in a specific directory called /testserver (create/edit/delete directories and files), even if the contents gets updated (new directories etc) without having to do anything at all (only right now).. how to do that? [00:16] it's just stuck... [00:16] Do i just need to look on the ubuntu site, and pick anothe mirror [00:16] DB42: no -d [00:16] DB42: Gutsy is so new, we don't need it right now. [00:16] frost^: shalom [00:16] is anyone else facing an unusable liveCD due to Nvidia cards? [00:16] stray77: dno [00:16] DB42: right now it seems stuck [00:16] I'm trying to do a automated (preseed) install in vmware but can't get past "Detecting hardware to find CD-ROM drives" which fails, can anyone point me in the right direction. [00:16] xtlosx: just pick another mirror using System>Administration>Software Sources [00:16] so how can i update to 7.10 ? [00:17] Abraxas_: do this grep -i nvidia /etc/X11/xorg.conf to see if you are using the nvidia binary driver [00:17] K, thanks [00:17] it will resume [00:17] i just botted to linux after 6 month to update from .04 to .10 :0 [00:17] could somebody tell me what port 730 netviewdb2 is [00:17] DB42: system>admin>update-manager [00:17] How do I get the permissions to modify the files on my existing install of ubuntu using the Gutsy LiveCD?

When i try to resize it in the installer, i want to just use 20 gb of space for ubuntu, but if i resize even to 100% the size would be 205.9 GB. what am i doing wrong? [00:17] DB42: 7.10 is the latest version. You can get it from Ubuntu.com. [00:17] Deryk: use the -R switch on chown and chgrp commands [00:17] kitche: I put it in there by hand, so I must be...but I just ran that grep as a sanity check and I do have Driver "nvidia" [00:17] MTughan: hes upgrading [00:17] gnomefreak: it's stuck [00:17] murkyMurk, he already tried that [00:17] which command murkyMurk [00:17] Fetching file 909 of 1049 [00:17] MTughan, i wanna UPDATE not get it [00:17] DB42: at what point? [00:17] i tried chmod [00:17] if my xorg.conf file is ****'d up again then I will blame k3b or my dvd drive for burning a bad image... :( [00:17] Sorry, DB42... [00:17] gnomefreak, : clicking "update" [00:17] it seems stuck to other people here as well [00:17] sivik: odd, it always works ;-) [00:18] DB42, just try again [00:18] stray77: all the ports on the router are open [00:18] murkyMurk, yes i know its odd [00:18] i did: chmod -R 777 /testserver [00:18] PROBLEM: installing ubuntu 7.10 on old computer. cd loads, hit start install, but then it goes to prompt: "(initramfs)" I've looked online and not found an answer for the last couple days [00:18] and it doesnt work [00:18] why doesn't it tell @ what point it's stuck.. [00:18] ok i will see if the "more" command will actually display the whole xorg file so wish me luck everyone. bye bye. [00:18] DB42: it might be due to the servers being hammered by thousands of users [00:18] DB42: i need to know if the little window shows up at all [00:18] .win 19 [00:18] gnomefreak, nop [00:18] how do i install aclocal [00:18] what i want to know is: is it possible to use rescue tools to rescue files if format(ext3) was interupted [00:18] murkymurk: so i just restarted because it was saying no sound cards were found, i logged back in, and it worked [00:18] Deryk: say you want user tom to own /test then use sudo chgrp tom /test -R [00:18] madsy_, so youre saying your machine is in the DMZ?

Then sudo chown tom /test -R [00:19] hello, there is open source operating systems and there are open source apps and open source bios but is there open source email server like hotmail and yahoo [00:19] chgrp: cannot access `/testserver': Permission denied [00:19] DB42: since its trying to update it may take longer than you think since everyone is hitting servers [00:19] tried with sudo and without [00:19] DB42: type update-manager [00:20] did it already..

Perhaps you can check for yourself whether there is a cygwin channel.

[00:31] also [00:31] no just my video card- I'm a little leery about upgrading till they work out some bugs [00:31] flagel: launchpad [00:31] pradeep: 64 bit is useless unless you have more than 4 gb of ram [00:31] how would i update to gusty [00:31] MTughan: 00:30 tomorrow here [00:31] pradeep: then yes that is the right one to download for 64bit [00:31] soundray: no actually i'm not [00:31] nickrud: that's already set how I want it [00:31] d2dchat, you know that in the beginning everyone wants to download [00:31] barnaby: The open source ATI driver works fine for me [00:32] xerawx: that's partly due to people making irrelevant statement rather than just support questions and answers [00:32] nickrud: the sandy background appears only after login [00:32] hi [00:32] !upgrade [00:32] Anyone ever managed to get Siims 2 working under Linux? [00:32] yeah, the restricted ati driver is working great for me in 6.10 [00:32] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:32] murkyMurk: West coast of Africa? [00:32] pradeep: there isn't an advantage otherwise of going 64 bit, software will not work, use 32 bit [00:32] element put live cd in drive browse the web while you install [00:32] southafrikanse, I know this, but it would be nice if you could select your download locations [00:32] fjleon: that's not true. 64bit is also faster for memory-intensive apps [00:32] d2dchat, I took about 2 hours to have Ubuntu upgraded [00:32] xerawx: use xchat (not xchat gnome) and right click the channel tab to turn off join/part [00:32] Mark76, good luck! :) [00:32] !gutsy [00:32] Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10) | (due October 18th, 2007) | It is development software, and as such unstable, support _only_ in #ubuntu+1 | See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon for more information [00:32] southafrikanse, and perhaps have bittorrent server setup [00:32] MTughan: lol, no london [00:32] i have 7.04 [00:32] Mark76: check the wine appdb [00:32] I have a ntfs drive (formatted using dos fdisk and partition magic 8 ) and i want to write to it, but it wont allow me, i have another ntfs drive which is windows ( duel boot ) and i can do nething iw ant to it, [00:32] fjleon, well I have 2 GB of 800Mhz ram [00:32] sebastes: did you upgrade pdate manager from feisty? the [00:32] i want to update to 7.10 [00:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes <-- no 7.10 ? [00:32] nickrud: and before the user background gets loaded [00:32] |Flood|: you mean PM element? [00:32] fjleon, ok :( [00:32] murkyMurk: Gah, I need to work on my timezones... [00:32] The Wine what? [00:32] soundray: not true unless it uses more than 4 gb, like i already said [00:32] i used to just reinstall [00:32] Anyone familiar with winetools? I'm having difficulty installing the MFC framework through it, as the URL it's using is outdated. Was hoping someone might point me toward a way to fix it [00:32] does anyone have any experience with ubuntu and intel macs? [00:32] but now i dont wan't to do that anymore [00:32] Mark76: http://appdb.winehq.org [00:33] cousin_luigi: hm, [00:33] <|Flood|> ooooooook then i'm a install it myself in a [00:33] i hope they fixed the tracker bug [00:33] !upgrade > element [00:33] element: you got ur mic working in steam [00:33] d2dchat, when you upgrade I think it's not possible to do that [00:33] barnaby: Yeah, I upgraded using the alternate cd to avoid hammering the servers more, just tell it to not update using the latest online sources [00:33] my mic works in vent [00:33] <|Flood|> ooooooook then i'm a install it myself in a VPC VM and home for the best [00:33] fjleon: sorry, you've got it wrong. [00:33] pradeep: forget the problems of 64 and just use 32 bit, all your software will work at the same speed [00:33] element have you burned the live cd as an iso? [00:33] nickrud: yes, I'm perplexed as well [00:33] Okay tahnks bmj [00:33] ventril [00:33] bmk789: did you get my IM? [00:33] elementyou got ventrillo working in linux? [00:33] sisseck: no [00:33] TA Bmk [00:33] fjleon: memory throughput is faster with 64, even if you have less than 4GB [00:33] fjleon: 64bit is useless to a desktop user completely [00:33] element: really hoping to get it working under cs [00:33] nickrud: and it's not there if I skip gdm and do a startx from init 3 [00:33] cousin_luigi: I can't log out right now to check for myself, sorry [00:33] sebastes: thanks. No problems yet? [00:33] barnaby: The only issue I had was the lack of window borders, you just need to turn compiz off and install compizconfig-settings-manager [00:33] <|Flood|> magic_ninja element has a mic problem too but that's all i know [00:33] now this is odd.. NONE of the NVIDIA blocks in my Xorg.0.log show errors [00:33] southafrikanse, yea i was just saying it would be nice to be able to choose the medium for which you download the upgrades [00:33] so I don't get it [00:33] thanks anyway nickrud:) [00:33] kitche: Unless you're running video editing or something. [00:33] fjleon, I read someplace in the forums that the package difference between 64 and 32 bit is only 1-2% [00:33] element: soz ventrillo in linux? [00:33] HEY, gnome is trying to connect during install, there is no connection..how do i bypassthis? [00:34] soz? [00:34] kitche: there are desktop users who run video encoding, 3D processing and similar stuff [00:34] bmk789 ok the problem is that i cant install any programs from the add/remove windows. they all say something like this: TuxMath cannot be installed on your computer type (i386) [00:34] fjleon, will I be missing out on a lot of packages? [00:34] d2dchat, oh ok [00:34] i got ventrilo in linux [00:34] in fact, absolutely nothing in that log greps for (EE) [00:34] sebastes: Yeah, I heard there were some compiz issues. [00:34] pradeep: it can vary *very* widely depending on what the app does. [00:34] sisseck: what machine is this? [00:34] soundray: i dont think so, it takes the same cpu cycles to address the first 32 bits of address space, if you would need to address more space then of course 64 bit is faster [00:34] element burn the cd as an iso [00:34] and i got counter strike source and CoD working in linux [00:34] hey guys, new to ubuntu; got the new 7.10. Installed the ATI driver with the restricted driver manager - but I can't enable desktop effects, i get a composition error [00:34] hello, is ubuntu safe to upgrade? [00:34] soundray: yes but those aren't desktop users but then again I know someoen that does all that and doesn't use a 64bit machine [00:34] element: is it as an official package or do people still use my old howto? [00:35] pradeep: well, java, flash and such don't play nice, some other too but i dont install much 3rd party [00:35] Well, this is interesting---with compiz enabled in gutsy, alt-shift-tab (reverse alt-tab) doesn't work. [00:35] i just used wine [00:35] lol [00:35] bmk789 a Znote6214W laptop. intel dualcore [00:35] hmm..ok...I'm using Xgl... is there a wya to undo that in Gutsy? [00:35] didnt need a howto [00:35] kitche: I'm a desktop user who does all that. [00:35] soo nobodies no [00:35] i am looking for a .torrent of ubuntu 7.10.....anyone have such a link in here [00:35] i can not find one [00:35] sisseck: 64bit OS or 32? [00:35] i wish there was a way to make fonts normal in xfire [00:35] element: lol...must've come on leaps and bounds in teh last 5 years lmao [00:35] soundray, fjleon thanks .. I'll just give it a try. I can always wipe it off and go for the 32 bit. Thanks :) [00:35] jagsUT: You can find them on Ubuntu.com. [00:35] jagsUT: look around in the download section on the site, I found one in the end [00:35] need to turn off gnome.... [00:35] bmk789: 32 bit [00:35] aight.... [00:36] fjleon: it's not only about addressing, it's also about moving the data between RAM and CPU. [00:36] demonoid has ubuntu 7.10 [00:36] i have installed kommander. how do i run it? i can't find it anywhere. :( [00:36] and my multimedia buttons work [00:36] so has isohunt [00:36] trying to instal ubuntu, but gnome is looking fro a connection that doesn't exist [00:36] oh my everyone's talking so fast :( [00:36] soundray: true but that's not really a desktop user really a desktop user is one that just uses the internet and email pretty much [00:36] releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 has some torrent links [00:36] soundray: what do you recommend for copying non-encrypted video dvd's? [00:36] I'm trying to put WIndows to run by default. Can someone tel me where do I get the default number so I can do so? [00:36] pazsion: pretty much stuck waiting for it, Will be better tomorrow when teh demand is less [00:36] soundray: how would a 64 bit cpu help with speed? i can't believe you without a good article supporting your theory [00:36] sisseck: just a sec [00:36] How's the release? [00:36] Dan2552: You should've seen #ubuntu-release-party last night... [00:36] if I had Ubuntu 7.1 beta, will the current version of 7.1 automatically update? [00:36] intel macs anyone? [00:37] my headphones don't work when i play flash in firefox [00:37] southafrikanse: you need to edit grub [00:37] bbyman: yes [00:37] !final | bbyman [00:37] bbyman: If you installed a Tribe/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Gutsy. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. [00:37] Anyone familiar with winetools? I'm having difficulty installing the MFC framework through it, as the URL it's using is outdated. Was hoping someone might point me toward a way to fix it [00:37] there is no internet on this machine murkykurk [00:37] zaphodmcmillan: Yes, but running on OS X with Ubuntu in a VM. [00:37] 7.04 upgrade to 7.10 is it safe?????? [00:37] i have that currently [00:37] Vista|G33Z3R, I have grub open but I can't find the number.... [00:37] but thinking of trying it nativly [00:37] bbyman: btw, it is 7.10, 7.1 is different. it's 10 because it's released in october :) [00:37] it's not like you have more bandwidth for the cpu-ram interconnection (of course if the cpu is just faster then it will) [00:37] murkymurk: need to bypas this so i can install to HD [00:37] but dont want to use boot camp [00:37] nickrud: I've never done that, but I'd probably just use nautilus [00:37] zaphodmcmillan: You need Boot Camp then. [00:37] fjleon, soundray i read in a lot of places that 64 bit improves performance by 30% approx [00:37] capiira: I found a solution using a java applet and editing some html. [00:37] wizard__: I did it with 0 issues [00:37] southafrikanse: you want windows to load first and linux second? [00:37] capiira: Thanks for helping [00:37] soundray: really? I'd'a never thunk [00:38] pazsion: ahhhh, network less install...hmmm [00:38] Vista|G33Z3R, yes [00:38] Vista|G33Z3R, I'm not the only one using the computer [00:38] hello, i am running ubuntu 7.04 server. i would like to set it up to accept vpn "dial in" connections from windows clients. could someone point me at a good tutorial please? [00:38] southafrikanse: its easy you want me to pm you [00:38] pradeep: that doesn't make any sense at all. 32 bit OS would be dead by now [00:38] keep hearing java and other hiccups with gutsy, is that true? [00:38] Hello hello. New problems... Tonight, when I wanted to boot into Ubuntu, it went past the logo screen, but before it got to the login manager, the screen just went black and stayed black. In the virtual console, I then saw that it was complaining about a USB device. After manually switching them, I finally found that it was my little 56K modem. Now this modem has been on my system since the day I installed Ubuntu and it's never complai [00:38] axjv nice, np [00:38] Vista|G33Z3R, of course [00:38] yea, it's kust hangin now... [00:38] wizard__: i had no problems with java [00:38] I am assuming I can't update my repos because the servers are getting hit pretty hard. How do I set up a mirror in my repository list? [00:38] zaphodmcmillan: As I know, no Linux distro can natively boot from EFI, which is the boot system the Intel Macs use. They all use BIOS, which Boot Camp emulates. [00:38] pradeep: like I said: it depends on the application, the amount of memory I/O it has to perform, and the extent to which it is optimized for 64 bit architectures. [00:38] capiira: If you want to know, the program's name was 'Pie3D' [00:38] no idea if anyone answered my question but there were loads of people talking ---- hey guys, new to ubuntu; got the new 7.10. Installed the ATI driver with the restricted driver manager - but I can't enable desktop effects, i get a composition error [00:39] mtughan, thanks [00:39] kewl ty......will do the upgrade then.... ty again [00:39] axjv thanks i was going to ask you :) [00:39] Dan2552: Please look at the community documentation for Compiz on ATI cards [00:39] soundray, isn't the 64 bit ubuntu build optimized for the 64-bit? :) [00:39] I can't seem to add some items to my panels. Specifically Search, User Switcher, and Weather. They just don't show up on the panel when I add them. :-( [00:39] Dan2552: Your instructions on what to do about that are there [00:39] Dan2552: I get that too on an Xpress 200M. It's just not compatible with desktop effects. [00:39] sisseck: have you modified the sources.list or anything? [00:39] I will ask again. I have a duel boot machine, windows/ubuntu ubuntu is able to read and write to my windows drive but wont do it to another hdd i have that is ntfs y?? i really want it so both os can see it, can some one help oh ( the linux and windows is on the same physical harddrive) [00:39] how do i tell ubuntu live cd not to look for a connection? so i can install to HD [00:39] pradeep: you're not listening properly. [00:39] soundray: That is incorrect. I am running the 200M right now with compiz and 0 problems. You just have to follow the documentation [00:40] i am running ubuntu 7.04 server. i would like to set it up to accept vpn "dial in" connections from windows clients. could someone point me at a good tutorial please? [00:40] Dan2552: you need to install xserver-xgl as well, log out, log in and then alt-f2 compiz --replace && emerald --replace . ATI doesn't support compiz without finagleing [00:40] Ati always has probs with composite...need to wait for better drivers [00:40] doesn't work? It's a x1600 ;( === slimjimflim is now known as slimjimAFK [00:40] hi all [00:40] ARJones: is there a trick? What documentation are you referring to? [00:40] hello people... has anyone had any success with the video out Fn button? [00:40] Dan2552: Newer cards may not be fully supported. My Radeon 9600 seems to work fine. [00:40] Anyone familiar with winetools? I'm having difficulty installing the MFC framework through it, as the URL it's using is outdated. Was hoping someone might point me toward a way to fix it [00:40] murkyMURK PM me if you have an answer [00:40] using an external display as well as your lcd [00:40] i'll have a look at documentation.... X1600 worked with old XGL [00:40] pazsion: I can only think that using the alternative CD might get you there...never done it without a network though [00:40] bmk789: yes activated the main, restricted and universe before but right now all im using is the universe [00:41] Dan2552: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusionATI?highlight=%28compiz%29 [00:41] soundray: I've run compiz on my express 200m, but disabled it because vmware doesn't play well [00:41] hmm [00:41] Hi everyone I need some help... I don't have compiz working at all I think, i don't have the settings of it or something else. i can only choose Extra on visual effects... what should i do? [00:41] sisseck: you disabled main? [00:41] southafrikanse: you there? [00:41] i am running ubuntu 7.04 server. i would like to set it up to accept vpn "dial in" connections from windows clients. could someone point me at a good tutorial please? [00:41] capiira: I have another question: Do you know of any programs that can change bits of an html file on the fly? [00:41] thank you murky [00:41] Vista|G33Z3R, yes [00:41] Where can I read about power management / suspend / hibernate and possible ways to enable them on a laptop? [00:41] ok i pm you you havent answered [00:41] vigrid, there's enough spam in here, your spam doesn't help [00:41] you're going to get so many people asking about desktop effects here :p [00:41] RonLut, read this page -> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/category/compizberyl/ [00:41] axjv how so ? [00:41] guys do u know how i can turn off copuz in gutsy, or how to makequick lunch button on my taskbar for turning on and off??? [00:41] bmk789: yeah probably not a good idea. i'll just try and enable it [00:41] is there a way to dl packages with dependencies from windows? [00:41] Dan2552: Just follow it down to the "Install Compiz Fusion". After that is finished all you literally have to do is reboot and then use the appearance settings to enable it. It works flawlessly on my ATI 200M [00:41] nickrud: I'll have another go then. Thanks for the link, ARJones [00:42] sisseck: ya enable it and reload then try it [00:42] ok I will ARJones - thanks [00:42] axjv don't know what you exactly mean [00:42] Charlotte, under appearance you can set desktop effects to none, some, extra [00:42] Vista|G33Z3R, I don't have here anything here blinking [00:42] yep [00:42] soundray: if you look back to my post to Dan2552 , that's all you have to do [00:42] mrj: your comments about spamming don't help neither ;) do you happen to know an answer to my question? [00:42] like say i have an ubuntu box that isn't and cant be plugged into the internet... is there a way to dl packages and all deps from a win box then transfer them to the linux box and install with dpkg [00:42] capiira: Say there's a line of code in my html file saying something like: [00:42] stray77 I already read it... but when I type that command it doesn't adds the settings.... [00:42] vigrid, no, but in the 3 spams you sent i'm sure you could have googled OpenVPN, etc [00:42] Please help. I'm still waiting to see if anyone knows what I can do to install ubuntu on this old HP computer running windows ME. instead of loading, the cd takes me to (initramfs) [00:42] capiira: I want to be able to change that x on the fly [00:42] Does anybody here emulate maplestory, gunzonline using ubuntu? [00:42] hi. If I've crashed GParted while it was creating a partition, what are my chances of being in deep shit? [00:42] capiira: Like, have a program saying: What do you want the title to be? [00:42] wow I can't seem to update [00:43] so does anyone know any commands for advanced options during bootup? i want to disable gnome connections [00:43] PAStheLoD: Probably high. [00:43] tag, the servers are backed up [00:43] nickrud: will try in a quiet minute. Thanks! [00:43] Ok I need help with this I have the Inter pro/wireless 2945ABG adapter. I found the intel linux driver which I downloaded but I have to install a ieee thingy first. I do that but then it says I have to "install it into my •kernel• and and build it as part of my •kernel• image" is that something a noob should even attempt? [00:43] great thanx [00:43] mrj: thanks, that's helpful. i can google openvpn, now that i know something like this exists [00:43] :) [00:43] mrj: I see that :-) [00:43] soundray, yes i understand the applications [00:43] tag, use the easynews mirrors. they worked great for me [00:43] axjv don't know anything sorry thats some kind of content management search for that [00:43] ok guys i just finished installing gusty and couldnt help but notice that i cant preview mp3s anymore? anyone have a solution? [00:43] gparted is very forgiving. if you didn't apply your changes you should be ok. [00:43] pazsion: people don't seem to understand what you mean by connections. [00:43] southafrikanse: open grub>menu.lst > scroll to bottom where it says title windows nt/xp blah blah copy all that info paste that at the top of the menu before the debian loaders then delete the windows entry right at bottom [00:43] PAStheLoD: in my exerience, not much. It has crashed on me dozens of times...always at the finish of a job for some readon... [00:43] MTughan, thanks .. fdisk doesn't see the partition table .. but I'm using files from that drive .. can I dump the one from the memory somehow? [00:43] Ronlut, the repos are overwhelmed right now, try later maybe but sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager definately worked earlier today. [00:43] needhelpplz: look in the nautilus prefrences [00:44] WorkingOnWise, and did it do the job? [00:44] vigrid, thats the most softare vpn solution i know of [00:44] bmk789: when updating it freezes but im gonna try and play around with it a bit tommorow. Thanks for the help [00:44] sisseck: np [00:44] everyone: gnome tryis to look for a network, there is none.. ghow do i tell it to stop and not to try... [00:44] Vista|G33Z3R, ok [00:44] hamachi is good for VPN [00:44] ko, uninstalled xgl..gonna restart X and give it a go....brb [00:44] mrj: thanks again, bye [00:44] is it possible to upgrade to 7.10 from 7.04 without a cd ? [00:44] ARJones: that is better. They're still pretty swampped it seems. [00:44] pazsion, disable the "enalbe this connection" in network manager [00:44] PAStheLoD: yes, everytime. The first few times My heart stopped...now I just wince a bit.... [00:44] HI, where can I d/l the Alternative DVD for upgrading from please? [00:44] kjp, yes but i wouldnt try it right now [00:44] I'm getting speeds like 67KB/s [00:44] im off have fun ubuntusers [00:44] !pastebin [00:44] bmk789: i have it set to always [00:45] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[00:45] Gparted on the Gutsy LiveCD just sits there working and never gets done when I try to open it [00:45] PASTHELOD__can i do this from advanced optiones during bootup it's hangin right now.. [00:45] WorkingOnWise, ah.. that either can be great or very unfortunate for me .. I've been messing aroung on my RAID0 array :C [00:45] that -was- the problem...removed Xgl and everything is gorgeous [00:45] pazsion: listen to PAStheLoD. To do it permanently, disable nm-applet in System-Preferences-Session-Startup programs [00:45] <|Flood|> ----------- i installed 7.04 in a VPC 2007 VM btw and never got the internet to work... any suggestions? [00:45] axjv im off ciao [00:45] Vista|G33Z3R, going to check it out. Be right back [00:45] pazsion, no, I don't think so .. [00:45] kjp, not sure honestly i reinstall with every release [00:45] needhelpplz: its not muted or anything like that is it? sound works? [00:45] i'll wait on versions of xgl to get more stable and try it again someday ;p [00:45] capiira: See ya [00:45] kjp, dist-update or something perhaps [00:45] bmk789: yes [00:45] sure does [00:45] stray77, Sorry but what you mean by saying "repos are overwhelmed right now"? [00:46] alright ima try rebooting then [00:46] pazsion: hold on [00:46] my english is not so well.. [00:46] they are so busy you cant connect [00:46] RonLut, the servers serving the update data are flooded . [00:46] RonLut, it's release day [00:46] is it possible to convert my lcd signal cable from a salvaged laptop to vga? [00:46] needhelpplz: mp3 codecs installed? [00:46] Does this make sense to anyone? [00:46] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41141/ [00:46] mrj: do you know how I might clone my 20gb disk, with ubuntu installed onto a 160, such that I can simply switch them out ? [00:46] bmk789: i let totem download and install them for me [00:46] soundtray it's on another system next to this one soo.. i can work indipendantly and keep this chat going [00:46] PAStheLoD: when it crashes, I restart the ap and check. The job it was spose to do is always done. Hope you have the same experience.... [00:46] pazsion: no, sorry, wrong track, go ahead and reboot [00:46] after that didnt work i installed mpg321 and still no go [00:46] hrm, I can't get ccsm to start it gives me this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41142/ [00:46] ne1 know if openvpn will read/use cisco pcf files? [00:46] are there any programs for windows or an online web script that can be used to find all package dependencies and download them to a folder? [00:46] should i remove totems gstreamer codec and reinstall mpg321? [00:46] WorkingOnWise, yeah I have .. my Partiton table has gone .. :C [00:47] Flats: well, they work on completly different principles do I doubt it [00:47] bmk789, i just tried to play and xvid file in totem and it prompted me to install codecs [00:47] ahh OK [00:47] PAStheLoD: is that what you wanted to happen? [00:47] ah ok thanks... i'm new to linux so i'll try later or something... [00:47] I don't get that "Upgrade available" button [00:47] i cannot check for updates, the repositories dont update [00:47] should I remove beryl from my 7.04 before I update? [00:47] mikeo2: not really, but there are instructions for using apt offline. I'll dig them out... [00:47] WorkingOnWise, no I wanted to create a 10 GB reiser4 partition .. but this was an over 1 tera array :/ [00:47] If I upgrade to 7.10, and I already have compiz-fusion installed, will it break anything? [00:48] nickrud: hey, I've tried again, a startx from console (without gdm) shows me the old monochrome X11 background instead of the sandy one [00:48] weird, get it on one box but not the other [00:48] nickrud: any suggestion will be greatly appreciated:) [00:48] monkeyBox, hopefully not [00:48] soundray i have used apt offline but need a way to dl packages and their deps from a windows box [00:48] without manually clicking on each one [00:48] PAStheLoD: is reiser4 production grade? [00:48] There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. The last error message was: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-GxEAKiRVj3: Connection refused. GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in. [00:48] I think the icons chosen for the compiz manager are horribly undescriptive [00:48] mikeo2: so you've got a list of packages to download already? [00:48] cousin_luigi, it says "released" on namesys.com [00:48] so how do i get root to be able to edit grub su -s? [00:49] cousin_luigi: not sure, really. I was under the impression that gdm handled that, then handed off to nautilus. In between?? [00:49] cousin_luigi, so I thought so.. [00:49] i could make a list from the linux box [00:49] grub failed on the install...is there a way to reinstall just grub? [00:49] Dan2552: i had that problem after i upgraded, try a reboot [00:49] Vista|G33Z3R, gksudo gedit [00:49] i just rebooted though, i reboot again? [00:49] I've installed from the server cd. Now, I want to add some software from the desktop cd. How do I add that to sources.list? [00:49] Vista|G33Z3R, /etc/boot/menus.lst [00:49] now to get cedega working [00:49] Vista|G33Z3R, actually it did work but now I don't have Windows mounted :\ [00:49] mikeo2: just have a look at these instructions: http://www.batmat.net/apt-offline/ [00:49] Could someone perhaps just give me a link on the web for something similar? I don't mind sorting it out on my own [00:49] IS there any way I can see what packages have been installed from a specific repository? [00:49] nickrud: yes, apparently...and it's the same as the stock ubuntu single tint background [00:49] Hi, everyone, I'm in hell here after upgrading to Gutsy. Can someone please help me enabling my NVidia card and OpenGL? [00:49] soundray trying to dl all the packages from a win box to a folder, then copy them to the linux box and dpkg -i *.deb them [00:49] how do u remove the codecs that totem installs? [00:50] hi all, does anyone know why vmware-player isn't in the gutsy repositories? [00:50] PAStheLoD: oh my.. I was messing with reiser4 today. seems I don't have the right kernel for seeing the partition, but gparted can make one. I got tired of mesing with it and went to ext3-still journaled, just not quite as fast ... [00:50] ZaphodBeeblebrox: should just be System->Administration->Restricted Drivers Manager [00:50] ZaphodBeeblebrox: restricted manager? [00:50] how can i change the default boot os? [00:50] to0om: it might be in commerical [00:50] hi all [00:50] Shaezsche: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:50] snore time. Night [00:50] Shaezsche, edit your menu.lst [00:50] Shaezsche: you can modify your menu.list or get startup-manager [00:50] * Pelo wonders how everyone likes the new release [00:50] mikeo2: so you need something like wget for windows? [00:50] ademan and bmk789: I do that, reboot and Ubuntu starts in low graphics mode [00:50] :( [00:51] kitche: is that the repository where opera also is in? then it's not; i have that repository enabled [00:51] Pelo: I like it until now, codecs and plugins are easily installed [00:51] ZaphodBeeblebrox: what card exactly? [00:51] I've got a problem, synaptic doesn't seem to use the authentication information I specify [00:51] See if this makes sense to any of you: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41141/ [00:51] WorkingOnWise, ah.. I did this Wubi install ... then installed dmraid .. I've even built a new parted .. then tried to make a partition to move the wubi install to [00:51] bmk789 i tried editing grub menu.lst, when i changed "default 0" to 5 and 6 nothing happened [00:51] does anyone know how to solve this? [00:51] anyone know if your swap partition can be a lvm logical partition? [00:51] i need something like apt for windows [00:51] but for linux apps [00:51] grub failed on the install...is there a way to reinstall just grub without redoing the entire install? [00:51] x_dimitri, what do you mean authentication info? your root password? [00:51] ademan:yes, it can [00:51] BTW, I have to boot with kernel 2.6.20.16 if I do with 2.6.22.14 I get tons of errors [00:51] mikeo2: i think cygwin might be what you're looking for [00:51] mrj:nope, network proxy [00:51] ademan: NVidia 6200 [00:51] mikeo2: no, you need to read the link I gave you [00:51] i read it [00:51] thanks x_dimitri [00:52] ademan:sure [00:52] ademan: cygwin won't resolve the dependencies for mikeo2 [00:52] its if you have 2 linux boxes [00:52] ZaphodBeeblebrox: interesting i've got a 6600 here and everythings working fine [00:52] <|Flood|> lol i see a vista like background on the desktop but it's... brown/orange [00:52] ZaphodBeeblebrox, .14 is old .. even 7.04 had .15 [00:52] i have 1 win on the internet and 1 linux not connected [00:52] Isn't there an open source vpn client that reads/uses pcf files? [00:52] need to dl the packages from the win box [00:52] soundray: ah, sorry, i wouldn't know, i don't touch windows anymore :-) === TheCrowX is now known as TheCrowX_ [00:52] mikeo2: no, it doesn't matter what runs on the box that's on the internet [00:52] PAStheLoD: Wubi scared me....I don't trust windows with Linux. I believe Windows is built to fubar the competition! :) [00:52] * x_dimitri longs for the day he won't have to touch windows anymore [00:52] PAStheLoD: 2.6.22.14 is the newest I see here [00:52] WorkingOnWise, yeah .. that's the case I'm afraid .. [00:52] what do i edit in menu.lst to change defaul tboot os? [00:52] Whenever GParted or the installer partitioner get to the "Scanning disks" stage they freeze [00:53] Hello folks. I'm having issues with xorg.conf and evdev. Here's my pastebin: http://pastebin.ca/741799 and the tutorial I followed: http://andy.hillhome.org/blog/2006/09/27/logitech-mx-revolution-in-linux/ - I don't think I'm using evdev correctly, as my keyboard is going crazy. (Up key acts like Print Screen button, and so on.) [00:53] ZaphodBeeblebrox, where do you see that? [00:53] <|Flood|> x_dimitri careful what you wish for man [00:53] ademan: any thoughts? [00:53] pretty much apt-get -d [00:53] does anyone know how to force synaptic to use the specified proxy authentication details? [00:53] PAStheLoD: on GRUB [00:53] thanks for the help guys, desktop effects now working :)! [00:53] want to do that in windows then copy the files to linux [00:53] HI, is it possible to upgrade from ubuntu7.10beta to 7.10 release? [00:53] mikeo2: all you need on that one is some download manager that processes a list of files. Which is where ademan's advice might come in handy. [00:53] !ccsm [00:53] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Gutsy(7.10) install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' - A new option will appear in your appearance properties - see also !compiz [00:53] alexMK: read the topic [00:53] WorkingOnWise, Wubi is very great, but it has issues with Fucked-Fake-RAIDs .. like mine on my nForce 5 .. :C [00:53] soundray ok ill look for that then [00:53] ZaphodBeeblebrox, but do you see something like Ubuntu Original ? [00:54] what happened to ubotu? [00:54] ZaphodBeeblebrox: unfortunately not really, you might try looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log === TheCrowX_ is now known as TheCrowX [00:54] !ubotu [00:54] demon_spork: it flooded out [00:54] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [00:54] ah [00:54] demon_spork: evil twin [00:54] lol [00:54] PAStheLoD: nope... I don't think so... where can I find grub conf to take a look? [00:54] hi, i need support, i am midway through the installation [00:54] can you install from ubuntu iso and then apt-get kubuntu and end up with the same exact system as if you had installed from the kubuntu iso???? [00:54] /boot/grub/menu.lst maybe .. [00:54] !ask | flick2 [00:54] flick2: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [00:54] flick2: what appears to be the problem? [00:54] PAStheLoD: onlt raids I ever had good luck with is dedicated external arrays or Windows builtin raid. typically raid 5. [00:55] the installation stopped at 82%, saying "Configuring apt" and Scanning the mirror... [00:55] ZaphodBeeblebrox, /boot/grub/menu.lst .. maybe .. or /boot/menu.lst .. [00:55] brandon: almost. You have to install kubuntu-desktop and all its dependencies. [00:55] onlt=only [00:55] ademan: What information I should look in there? [00:55] flick2: your network is possibly slow [00:55] PAStheLoD: kk, hold on [00:55] the installation hasn't proceeded for 15 minutes [00:55] I tried to select a different gfx driver in that new gutsy gui (using ati with proprietary fglrx so far, wanted to go for the open source version of radeon), rebooted and now my notebook display only runs in 640x480 anymore and I cant seem to get my gfx card back to normal work... what do I do? :( [00:55] <|Flood|> flick2 it's on break [00:55] Is there supposed to be a /etc/apt/apt.conf file? My searches suggest that file exists but I can't find it. [00:55] WorkingOnWise, oh.. builtin RAID 5 .. sofware raid5 oh.. :0 that's like massive CPU overhead and duplicated IO channels :| [00:55] flick2: I would jump to a console and give an ifconfig eth0 down [00:56] ZaphodBeeblebrox: lines beginning with EE: are errors, that'd be a good place to stary [00:56] flick2: try clt-alt-f8, you should be able to see a log of the install, maybe there's a clue there [00:56] flick2: your burn might have failed. Reboot and use the boot option for checking the CD. [00:56] tougher question: can you do a dist-upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10, putting i386 version over the amd64 version? [00:56] start* [00:56] brandon: no, to change architecture, you have to reinstall. [00:56] soundray: ouch [00:56] flick2: but do cousin_luigi 's before you give up and start over [00:56] thanks and later on [00:56] PAStheLoD and ademan Should I use pastebin to show you guys the lines? [00:56] brandon: all the binaries are different, and the kernel too [00:56] nickrud: no clue at ctrl+alt+f8 [00:56] ZaphodBeeblebrox: sure [00:56] can I use an ubuntu 7.04 live cd to mount my 7.10 .iso from some other harddrive, and then install gutsy from it? [00:57] hi [00:57] flick2: was there any text at all? [00:57] would someone be interested in helping me configure dual head on ubuntu 7.10? i have a GeForce 6500GT DDR2 512MB PCIe card [00:57] finally, how big do you guys think /boot should be? i really don't wanna run out of room here... [00:57] PAStheLoD: yeah, but when I had 2 drives fail in as many minutes, I was glad to have the overhead... Took about 2 hours to rebuilt 45GB of data... [00:57] erat123, Gutsy has better dual-head configuration - check it out [00:57] nickrud: it just says "* Running boot scripts..." [00:57] erat123: you tried the new GUI tool? [00:57] soundray: I guess i should save my home directory and some configs from /etc and then wipe away -- is that how you'd do it??? [00:57] WorkingOnWise, that's blazingly fast considering windows .. what kind of setup was that? :o [00:57] kst: possibly. You need a way to "seed" your hard disk. See the factoid (private message) [00:57] PAStheLoD: and the system was only down for 30 minutes... [00:57] ademan: very few reasons to have a separate boot partition with grub [00:57] !install > kst [00:58] <|Flood|> starting up the partitionner... makes me think of bush saying he's the decider :) [00:58] nickrud: one of them is lvm, which i'm doing [00:58] brandon: yes. Also see the clone factoid [00:58] PAStheLoD: http://pastebin.ca/741807 [00:58] hello all. is there a way to tell ubuntu which card should be treated as eth0 and which is eth1? [00:58] ademan: sure is ;) [00:58] javaJake: I've been playing around w/ the screen and graphics utility, but it only shows one monitor [00:58] :-) [00:58] !clone > brandon, private message [00:58] soundray: Error: That person could not be found in any channel you're in [00:58] ademan: give it 200M, why cramp your style?\ [00:58] WorkingOnWise, haha . that's even better :] even in the 99,999% range [00:58] okay [00:58] erat123, OK [00:58] soundray: sorry, where's the clone factoid?

[00:59] anyone else have time to help me out w/ my vid card? [00:59] thanks soundray... any idea about my gfx card problem? :( [00:59] ademan: Should I copy the entire contents or just EE lines?

[01:05] Anyhow.. on to my question :P When I now try to use advanced preferences.. that is.. compiz fuzion.. with my ati9800 card with restricted fglrx drivers.. it says.. no composite extension available.. what to do? [01:05] Flyzoola: this is it [01:05] mm ok [01:05] ok sweet [01:05] well, I'm having troubles [01:05] not synaptic [01:05] and getting frustrated haha [01:05] ademan: kk, how do I proceed? I've downloaded a driver from NVidia's site btw... [01:05] ubotwo: part [01:05] Ok Finally Got Gutsy up and running.. man is it beautiful.. [01:05] Flyzoola: keep it on one line, please [01:05] I am using Debian Etch currently, I plan on installing Ubuntu 7.10. During installation, to I have the option to important files/folders over? [01:06] ZaphodBeeblebrox: you don't need to do that, install nvidia-glx-new [01:06] What to do when gutsy attacks with a banana? :) [01:06] cousin_luigi: i have rebooted, it's working fine except when i try to add XChat it says "The list of applications is not available" [01:06] After upgrading to feisty, I can no longer get into gnome. it cycles back into console and back into gdm after i log in, and it gives an error that i'm missing libresmgr.so.0.9.8 [01:06] no fakeraid support eh? :( [01:06] okay, so i can't apt-get anything. [01:06] ZaphodBeeblebrox: do what cousin_luigi said, i think that's a better bet [01:06] so AIGLX is enabled if im on gutsy ? [01:06] danlock2: are you root? [01:06] kk, hold on [01:06] hb, well, dmraid works fine [01:06] flick: system/admin/software sources [01:06] danlock2: i think the repositories are under incredible stress right now [01:06] PAStheLoD: not sure then...real grub is usually installed on the drive, but not a partition. Windows bootloader is installed on the partition. is your bootable partition still there, and it the win partition in the same numerical location? [01:06] flick: then do a reload [01:06] err, i mean, upgrading from feisty [01:06] ok [01:06] ademan: i think so as well, they time out a lot. [01:06] boubbin: it was enabled in feisty also [01:06] yeah the repos are like about to explode [01:06] question, are the gutsy upgrade repo's real bogged down or is my computer being a @#$%@#$ [01:06] Weee. repos are terribly slow. can't even download the package info :/ [01:06] I am using Debian Etch currently, I plan on installing Ubuntu 7.10. During installation, to I have the option to important files/folders over? [01:06] anyone know why IBM T61 Laptop sound breaks on upgrade? I was wondering if theres a program i can run to reconfigure my alsa sound? [01:06] Think_Differentl: read the topic :) [01:07] PASthelod: Yes it does, but I can boot my system without a boot loader :/ [01:07] yerr. i did :P [01:07] answers my question [01:07] <|box|> got me gutsy gibbon from demonoid ran live cd so i could brose the net listen to radio while i installed im impressed [01:07] kitche so running compizfusio should be easy on gutsy ?+ [01:07] !tell newbie1 about intelhda [01:07] boubbin: if you have the right card yes [01:07] newbie1: please read the private message from ubotwo [01:07] where are the lock files for firefox? [01:07] cousin_luigi: Software Sources doesn't have a reload button, has a Revert button which is disabled [01:07] ok. So I've been trying to get software to broadcast to an internet radio. I installed gnump3d amongst many other apps, but nothing has worked. I installed GNUMP3d from Synaptic, but I don't know how to run it. Shouldn't there be like... a launcher icon or something for it? This is all so confusing [01:07] 2nd question, got a router that keeps dropping my cable connection, anyone think it might work better as a switch with dhcpd installed on one of the computers? [01:07] K [01:07] soundray: ubotwo is gone [01:07] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu. [01:07] cuz i was like UGH! i can't update, and was hoping that it was just the repos dying a bit. [01:07] ls [01:07] flick: sorry I meant after you selected them [01:08] Does the compisite extension is not available mean that fglrx and ati9800pro isn't working for compiz? [01:08] there was supposedly a simpler install/remove programs application here somewhere, but i don't have it. i don't mean synaptic [01:08] flick: just do a sudo apt-get update from console then [01:08] WorkingOnWise, on my RAID array I HAVE (have faith.. have faith.. :)) just 2 NTFS partitions .. and neither of them are bootable .. etc .. an on one of them there is the virtual partition (just an NTFS file) .. and grub is in a separate file [01:08] kitche: can't keep up... thanks [01:08] the repos still arent working... wow... must be a lot of people upgrading today [01:08] does grub have to install on a IDE source even if SATA is selected as the primary boot source in the bios? [01:08] !tr [01:08] Turk ubuntu kullanicilari, turkce yardim yada geyik icin #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [01:08] where are the lock files for firefox please? [01:08] Nuked: yes like it usually is that why some of us wait a few weeks :) [01:08] ademan and cousin_luigi: did it, should I reboot, restart X, what? [01:08] hb, you can build a kernel for yourself with dmraid and device-mapper support [01:08] I am using Debian Etch currently, I plan on installing Ubuntu 7.10. During installation, to I have the option to important files/folders over? [01:08] !torrents [01:08] Torrent downloads for the Ubuntu ISOs are available on all the download pages. For Gutsy: http://fr.releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ (CDs) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/ (DVDs) - Please download using the torrents if you can! === ellinor_ is now known as ellinor [01:08] newbie1: please look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [01:08] ZaphodBeeblebrox: sorry what was it about? [01:08] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu. [01:08] kitche: its also why some of us upgrade a few weeks early [01:09] cousin_luigi: installed nvidia-glx-new, what's next? [01:09] foug: create a new partiton to store thos?e files on for the time being [01:09] hi how can i run compiz fusion in gutsy? [01:09] hb, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_Gentoo_with_NVRAID_using_dmraid [01:09] ? [01:09] ZaphodBeeblebrox: might as well reboot since it would hopefully load the new driver module === LjL changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Official Ubuntu Support Channel | Please be patient and read the FAQ: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRCResourcePage | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | Gutsy release party and questions about download speeds and links, etc. in #ubuntu-release-party | Repositories and release sites may be slow, type /msg ubotu mirrors [01:09] Blama: not really. Have you tried a plug cycle? [01:09] PAStheLoD: so your win system partition is hdb or sda? [01:09] is there anybody that I can PM about my problem, perhaps? [01:09] ZaphodBeeblebrox: you have to activate it from the restricted drivers manager [01:09] cousin_luigi: right thanks... i think sudo apt-get update did the trick, stopped at 50% though, probably the server is under stress [01:09] danlock2: so there is no way to import them during installation? [01:09] sdb i meant [01:09] compiz should run by default in gusty, unless you heve terribe video acceleration [01:09] foug: i'm not sure. [01:10] PAStheLoD: hdb or sdb [01:10] Flyzoola: please have a bit of patience, and repost your error description if you don't get a response at first. [01:10] WorkingOnWise, hda .. [01:10] cousin_luigi: I only see one driver there, and I already activated it earlier [01:10] and where it the fubar partition table? [01:10] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: how do i confirm if compiz is running? [01:10] the mirrors are still slow lol [01:10] I can't get my laptop on the network on a static ip I did nmap -sP to see if its on the router and I see it on there [01:10] any sugesstions [01:10] PASthelod: I'm not using nvraid i's via and i'd prefer to use the ubuntu system. I have several nodes I need to configure and I'd like the process to be as automated as possible (install cd). I have the feeling that the alternate cd will do it, but that i'm doing something wrong. I just dont know what [01:10] ummm... i dont really know lol [01:10] flick: it would be wise to do a mirror scan now, to find out the faster one [01:10] <|Flood|> 50% :) [01:10] Anyone know anything about this ---> The Composite extension is not available [01:10] WorkingOnWise, hda2 actually .. totally separate drive .. and I've a little 50 megs FAT partition on hda1 just for these purposes .. [01:10] <|Flood|> 50% :) in the VM :) [01:10] ok. So I've been trying to get software to broadcast to an internet radio. I installed gnump3d amongst many other apps, but nothing has worked. I installed GNUMP3d from Synaptic, but I don't know how to run it. Shouldn't there be like... a launcher icon or something for it? This is all so confusing [01:10] PAStheLoD: BTW, any ideas about the kernel thing? [01:10] soundray, If I unplug the keyboard and plug it back in when at the command line I get the error, "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62" [01:11] cousin_luigi: thanks... how can i do a mirror search, please? [01:11] are the repos overloaded or smth like that? it is really slow [01:11] i need to mount my freebsd UFS drive from Feisty? is there anyway to do that without resorting to command line? [01:11] cousin_luigi: nm, it is downloading [01:11] murkymurk finally got it working murk, i got 5.1 working thanks to wishie_ in #alsa, gonna go write up a faq now [01:11] flick: system/admin/software sources /download from/other/select server [01:11] caner: they are bogged [01:11] :-) [01:11] is there any body who can help me with a usb grub install, I get a black screen with only the word grub [01:11] the reason: i gotta reburn the gutsy iso that is located on my freebsd partition. i do not trust freebsd to burn stuff well [01:11] hi. i tried apt-get installing some packages i already have, and they were set as manually installed. they were dependencies of a metapackage, and i want them to stay that way - how do i flag them as being automatically installed again? [01:11] what's the alternative to chasing down dependencies (which in turn have dependencies) when trying to install a package? [01:11] cousin_luigi: thanks [01:11] Blama: ah, that's usually flaky hardware or a dissonance between the device and the hub. Can you plug it into another socket? [01:11] ZaphodBeeblebrox, I don't understand your problem completely. I've just replied to one of your messages but I haven't got the first part .. so if you tell me I can try :) [01:11] ZaphodBeeblebrox: either a reboot or a X11 restart with ctrl alt backspace [01:12] the_darkside_986: then you shouldn't trust linux to burn stuff either [01:12] hb, well, good luck with VIA's .. more than I've got with nv's :] [01:12] my eyes are about to fall out form trying to read too fast, im leaving [01:12] * x_dimitri is getting very frustrated at having to wade through dependencies [01:12] PAStheLoD anc cousin_luigi: kk, will restart X first then, brb [01:12] ***and [01:12] got a quick question: why in ubuntu resolution 1280x1024 not look as small as vista 1280x1024? [01:12] i can't even apt-get update [01:12] :-( [01:12] anyone getting "input/output error" with the LiveCD? [01:12] Tech-Mike: larger fonts or greater dpi [01:12] ademan: bad cd? [01:12] is there any body who can help me with a usb grub install, I get a black screen with only the word grub [01:13] i got i/o error on a crap CD i tried. [01:13] danlock2: hope not, but i suppose that might be it [01:13] PASthelod: there has to be something obvious in the install process i'm missing. guess I'll find it on my own [01:13] bogged? what does that mean? are you also having problems? [01:13] soundray, I have tried all the USB ports on my computer but all of them gave the same error. I know it isn't a problem with the ports because my USB mouse works fine. [01:13] ergh, i guess i'll check the cd for errors first [01:13] ok. So I've been trying to get software to broadcast to an internet radio. I installed gnump3d amongst many other apps, but nothing has worked. I installed GNUMP3d from Synaptic, but I don't know how to run it. Shouldn't there be like... a launcher icon or something for it? [01:13] caner: they are extremely slow, i can't even apt-get update [01:13] can other people at least apt-get update? [01:13] PAStheLoD: hda2 would be partition 2 on physical drive 1....oh I see, you are calling physical drive 1 as hda1 and drive 2 as hda2, while I am calling drive 1 as hda and drive 2 as hdb, right? [01:13] mine freezes @ waiting for headers [01:13] this is why apt-torrent needs to get working [01:14] yeah mine was freezing for a while earilier today too [01:14] ademan: is there such a thing yet? [01:14] the us.archive one [01:14] hb, maybe .. or maybe not .. try custom boot arguments at the bootup [01:14] i did. and finally made a xchat install after 5-6 minutes [01:14] too bad that havent incorporated torrents into aptitude/apt-get [01:14] Hey all, how do I install a dutch locale so strftime in php works with dutch date names? [01:14] danlock2: well read the topic all the mirrors are slow [01:14] Hey everyone, I'm trying to figure out if I can use the live cd to upgrade from feisty to gutsy. Is that possible? [01:14] Flyzoola: you can get a list of installed programs with 'dpkg -L gnump3d'. Look for lines with 'bin' in the path. Also have a look at the docs in /usr/share/doc/gnump3d [01:14] <|box|> apt-get install rtorrent? [01:14] is there any body who can help me with a usb grub install, I get a black screen with only the word grub [01:15] gravemind: no. you can do it with the alternate CD though [01:15] Anyone know anything about this when trying to choose Extra in appearence preferences? ---> The Composite extension is not available [01:15] is your pci card blacklisted? [01:15] where does evolution save its configuration files? .evolution and ... [01:15] soundray: do I just double click these files to launch the app? [01:15] soundray: thanks. beats having to do download separately for 3 computers [01:15] |box|, that not what i mean, instead of everyone pulling from the repos, we could all pull from each other [01:15] Cryoniq, install xserver-xgl [01:15] gnome2.2 came with an ugly default font setting. is there anybody who liked it? it looks like windows [01:15] tatortot: leave a bit more time between repetitions so new people, who might have an answer for you, can log on in the meantime [01:15] man gutsy is taking a long time to download... [01:15] WorkingOnWise, no.. I call hda as The Drive .. hdb as The Other Drive .. and hda1 hda2 hdb1 the partitions .. and I've /dev/mapper/nvidia_facgee--something for my raid and that has nvidia_fagaga1 nvidia_fagag2 and 3 and 5 and 6 too [01:16] how do i get write permission to my new hdd now, i made a new ext3 drive but it wont let me wrie to it [01:16] crdlb: thanks :) [01:16] cousin_luigi and ademan: re-started X (CTRL ALT backspace), but I still see only one driver at restricted drivers manager and it's already enabled... OpenGL still doesn't work :( [01:16] soundray, I have tried all the USB ports on my computer but all of them gave the same error. I know it isn't a problem with the ports because my USB mouse works fine. [01:16] Gutsy :) [01:16] <|box|> stray77: yea i get it but i havent got a torrent client [01:16] i get aborted when i try ghamachi, do anyone know why it says "core dumped" [01:16] Flyzoola: no, double-click, middle click to paste the name, then hit enter [01:16] Is there somewhere I can find a summary of the cool new features in gutsy? [01:16] where does evolution save its configuration files? .evolution and ... [01:16] madsy_: because it cored which means it crashed [01:17] Blama: I don't know how to help then, sorry. [01:17] Is there any way to force update-manager to upGRADE from the Gutsy CD? [01:17] kitche: what can i do? [01:17] ooh i found it, never mind [01:17] ZaphodBeeblebrox: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf|grep nv [01:17] the answer to my question above was: use 'aptitude markauto'. thanks anyway. [01:17] <|box|> stray77: you guys been busy today or is it normally like this? [01:17] PAStheLoD: it sounds like it will survive a reboot...but I'd hav a repair cd handy just incase. :) [01:17] gravemind: you can also upgrade one, then copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to the other machines. === burlynn_ is now known as Tortured [01:17] cousin_luigi: hold on [01:17] madsy_: debug the core to figure out hwy it crashed [01:17] ZaphodBeeblebrox: sorry your problem is beyond my experience i'm pretty much out of ideas, you might try re-asking your question (with the log pasted) and see if anyone else has any ideas [01:17] hi [01:17] I am getting a problem while trying to access my windows network [01:17] soundray: cool, that works [01:17] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). [01:18] ok, ademan thanks [01:18] i have a really strange problem with my gutsy [01:18] :( [01:18] I can't seem to find a howto on getting the video out on my dell laptop working...I have nvidia video ....has anyone tried to get this working? [01:18] soundray: will the alt cd work for gutsy beta too? [01:18] WorkingOnWise, I can boot into windows .. that's on HDA .. I'm concerned about the partition table of the nvidia_fgaga RAID array :| [01:18] "Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "Windows Network: livingroom"." [01:18] gravemind: yes, it should [01:18] Time Machine [01:18] :) [01:18] gutsy freez for 20-30s every 5-7 minutes [01:18] cousin_luigi: I get 2 lines from that cat command: "nvidia" and "nv" [01:18] just like that [01:18] Name141-- i have same prob [01:18] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu?

[01:22] cousin_luigi: and it should load the first one? [01:22] ZaphodBeeblebrox: yes [01:22] techjim: hrmm, not related hardware at all :) I'd imagine it's not hardware/driver related then [01:22] ZaphodBeeblebrox: and just that [01:22] ademan: ubotu is taking a break from being abused ;) [01:22] <[IT]4ngelus> soundray: i red that, but it did not solve the problem [01:22] is there nyword on how to get gutsy to take a gcard off blcklist? [01:22] cousin_luigi: kk, let me try to remove that from xorg.conf [01:22] Charlotte, system-> administration -> system monitor [01:22] ZaphodBeeblebrox: try commenting out the second one but I've no idea how that happened [01:22] does anyone know how to get the 82801G audio chipset working on 7.10 ? === admin_ is now known as dezza [01:22] cousin_luigi: ok [01:22] <|box|> PAStheLoD: lol they just dont care i think they get the thieving feeling even if its free lol but it helps the ubuntu server if its on torrents [01:22] O_o, my gutsy liveCD just dropped into text mode instead of the nifty usplash loading screen, double O_o the screen is all messed up === dezza is now known as dezza4 [01:23] hmm, 404s on the non-free repository I was using [01:23] EruditeHermit, it is capable, but it currently blacklisted [01:23] does the i915 driver work with compiz? [01:23] ademan: screenshot? [01:23] thnax [01:23] Charlotte, or use htop or top from the terminal .. if you don't have htop then you can get it using the command : sudo apt-get install htop [01:23] (even if you need a digital camera to do it) [01:23] [IT]4ngelus: don't know then, sorry [01:23] and what i have to look for ? [01:23] Any suggestions for a sort of burning suite? for iso's , dvds etc etc [01:23] Is there a mirror available for synaptic that I can use to download stuff from repositories on? The servers are so slow right now. [01:23] how can i get amarok to respond to my media keys on my keyboard (thinkpad) [01:23] PovAddict: no idea, but i ctrl+alt+f1 then ctrl+alt+f7 and all is well now, but then again i've been having that other issue "input/output error" or whatever [01:23] hyper_b0le: are you on ubuntu or windoze? [01:23] <[IT]4ngelus> soundray: thanks anyway [01:24] w00tzilla: no idea, sorry...is that during a recheck? [01:24] nrp: why is that? [01:24] |box|, thievinf feeling .. haaha ;]]] .. yeah torrents are good and were invented for that in the first place :) [01:24] hyper_b0le: gnomebaker? [01:24] EruditeHermit, if you open /usr/bin/compiz with a text editor, find the blacklist section, and comment out the line with 965 in it, itll work [01:24] Charlotte: a process that jumps to the top of the list and hogs your CPU [01:24] @ kitche: it says "Driver "nvidia" VendorName "NVIDIA" BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 8 Series" " I have a nVidia 8600 GT [01:24] I am having an FTP issue. When I log into my FTP account (through VSFTPD) I am unable to upload/delete/modify files in any way. How do I correct this issue? [01:24] nrp: ok [01:24] sudo apt-get install gutsy :) [01:24] EruditeHermit, I dont know the details, but something bad is broken :p [01:24] nrp: oh ok [01:24] cousin_luigi: commented out the "nv" driver and left the "nvidia" one. Now I restart X again right? [01:25] I turned of the XP firewalls on the windows machine [01:25] <|box|> PAStheLoD: why dont they make the raposatories so we can use each others comps instead of a few urls? [01:25] Where is the torrent file for Gutsy? === w4ett_ is now known as w4ett [01:25] but still the same error [01:25] ZaphodBeeblebrox: correct [01:25] IanLiu: http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ [01:25] Blama: The keyboard doesn't work at all in any way? Does it work when choose what to boot from grub menu (if you have a grub menu that is)? [01:25] IcemanV9: ok, brb [01:26] <|Flood|> i thought this version of ubuntu came with improved graphics [01:26] kitche ? [01:26] anyone know how i can get amarok to recognize the media keys on my thinkpad? [01:26] |Flood|: such as? [01:26] <|Flood|> comes with an improved walpaper so far [01:26] question guys, my fiancee is using Feisty Fawn, she hasn't modified anything, and when she goes into update manager, she doesn't see a distribution upgrade... what is going on? [01:26] hmm nothing unusual most of them are "sleeping" [01:26] |box|, the reposities are using HTTP and FTP , and that's totally different from BitTorrent .. azureus has a nice way for distributing it's packages .. that can be implemented and then you would only need to get the tiny torrent files from the repos [01:26] <[IT]4ngelus> i can hear sound only if i disable acpi, but then video card won't work, could someone help? [01:26] how can I do a search on Ubuntu forums requiring all keywords instead of any keyword? [01:26] <|Flood|> such as what is mentionned on theregister.co.uk [01:26] xtlosx: she has to do it from console [01:26] ex-cyber: quotes? [01:26] I suppose [01:26] <|box|> PAStheLoD: are they thinking of implementing that? [01:26] Ex-Cyber, use the quotation marks """""" " " " " [01:27] |Flood|: depends if the GPU can handle it [01:27] any ideas on how to get amarok and mp3s working under 7.10? [01:27] OK, how do you do that [01:27] I tried [01:27] Hi, I'd like to know how to change libnotify popups' colors. Right now, gtk themes only change some part of it (a semi circle is missing). [01:27] PAStheLoD: what's the syntax? [01:27] anyone know how to get amarok to recognize the media keys on my thinkpad? [01:27] LOL, I am having to use the computer's IP# , not the name. [01:27] I changed everything in the sources.list to gutsy, and did a apt-get upadte, and dist-upgrade and it only had two packages [01:27] haha um brasileiro. :P [01:27] ezzieyguywuf: there might be a plugin for amarok [01:27] held a bunch back [01:27] !br | Lunks [01:27] nrp: thanks for the info btw [01:27] ademan: haven't had any luck finding one.... [01:27] Pici: I was just welcoming a Brazilian. :P [01:27] <|Flood|> cousin_luigi prolly true... i'm installing this in a VM [01:27] |box|, you already have the ability to download a lots of things from the releases.ubuntu.com via BT .. but I don't know anything about implementing Bt into aptitude / apt-get .. etc [01:27] hi all, just wanted to paste http://torrent.ubuntu.com/simple/gutsy/desktop/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent since people will inevitably ask [01:27] xtlosx: not sure then [01:27] the synaptic package manger seems to be more powerful than the Add/Remove... why do we have two package managers? [01:27] Pici: I was just welcoming a Brazilian. :P [01:27] Lunks: Oh. nevermind ;)_ [01:27] how do you chmod the file alsa-base [01:27] Hi, I'd like to know how to change libnotify popups' colors. Right now, gtk themes only change some part of it (a semi circle is missing). [01:28] im thinking that this is may be my bluethoot [01:28] xtlosx: I've done a reinstall [01:28] how do you do it from the console, does anyone know [01:28] flick: because synaptic is "scary" [01:28] :) [01:28] running all the time [01:28] oh she doesn't want to do a reinstall [01:28] Pici: Don't mind. :) [01:28] just the upgrade [01:28] Ex-Cyber, if you want to search for cat food then "cat food" .. enclose the search terms in quotation marks [01:28] cousin_luigi. IcemanV9: re-started X. Same problem, and on restricted drivers manager I see only one nvidia driver and it's already enables... Please help :( [01:28] how to turn it off [01:28] Is there a mirror available for synaptic that I can use to download stuff from repositories on? The servers are so slow right now. [01:28] <|box|> i downloaded vista didnt like it ripped it off and went back to xp pro downloaded this and i like this linux most everything worked out of the box [01:28] flick: power/usability tradeoffs, so two target user profiles? [01:28] flick: Lower-level items like required libraries, etc. can be downloaded from the Package Manager. [01:28] xtlosx: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should do the trick [01:28] Lunks: I've looked into this before, I havent found a way to do it yet :( [01:28] hmmm it doesn't [01:28] Lunks: regarding the libnotify thing [01:28] it just lets her install two packages [01:28] OK, now we are going fast! [01:28] and that's it [01:28] <|Flood|> Ex-Cyber yeah otherwise you'll get scores about eating cats :) [01:28] sean: yes but the other mirrors would be most likely slow as well [01:28] is suspend still broken in gutsy? [01:28] holds bac a bunch [01:28] hi guy, i'm trying to chmod the file alsa-base, can't seem to do it. [01:28] ZaphodBeeblebrox: you mean it's still using nv? [01:28] Pici: oh, yeah. I'm trying this for a long time. ;P [01:29] hello [01:29] ZaphodBeeblebrox: how can you tell? [01:29] I have an issue with the upgrade: update-manager seems to stuck, as well as do-relase-upgrade, but the mirror seems fine. Any idea? [01:29] kitche (or anyone), does anyone know how I can get the NVIDIA X driver working? nvidia-xconfig isn't doing it... [01:29] Lunks: Theres a gconf key that you can change, but it only changes some of the themeing. [01:29] kitche, faster though? They are REALLY slow and I need sound! :P I guess I could just compile the code I need. [01:29] seems like a bunch of people are having issues upgrading with the upgrade manaer or whtever it is [01:29] Okay I know there's probably a lot of support requests but I just upgraded to gutsy. When I rebooted, booting stops with a flashing cursor right after the bootsplash. Normal boot worked on Fiesty... [01:29] Pici: Not the same circle, right? :( [01:29] ZaphodBeeblebrox: wait a moment...is your nvidia card an old model? [01:29] semi-circle* [01:29] During the install, when it tries to update via apt, is there a timeout built in? [01:29] Pici: Can you tell me where? [01:29] cousin_luigi: The same openGL problem is still happening and I see what seems to be the same thing in restricted drivers manager [01:29] ZaphodBeeblebrox: perhaps it's incompatible with nvidia-glx-new, and requires nvidia-glx instead [01:29] Lunks: I'm not sure, I'd have to google it. [01:30] hmm [01:30] <|Flood|> i thought this version of ubuntu already came with gutsy [01:30] cousin_luigi: It's Nvidia 6200 [01:30] Does someone have the url for 7.10 MD5 Hashes? [01:30] Pici: Nevermind, I'll try myself. :) [01:30] hi i am trying to access fdisk on linux, i want to remove it off my computer and reinstall win xp [01:30] ZaphodBeeblebrox: same here [01:30] quotes don't seem to make any difference [01:30] |Flood|, gutsy is a version of ubuntu .. [01:30] Lunks: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3072685 [01:30] ZaphodBeeblebrox: and it works [01:30] is there a way to configure how/if gutsy automatically starts Xgl for compiz? I'm on ATI and want to use proprietary drivers for performance issues.. [01:30] <|Flood|> PAStheLoD crap :/ [01:30] <|box|> is there an apt get for realplayer reason i ask BBC radio 1 dont work without realplayer [01:30] Lifeisfunny: most of the mirrors have them if you can't find them on the main server [01:30] cousin_luigi: oh god... what should I do? [01:30] ZaphodBeeblebrox: I can send you my xorg.conf if you want to have a look [01:30] cool [01:30] ZaphodBeeblebrox: it worked out of the box [01:30] please do [01:30] kst: not sure which version ati drivers are in gutsy but I know the one on ati website doesn't need xgl at all [01:30] |box|: Look up Helix Player [01:31] AZimm, how do I get to the mirrors? [01:31] Pici: Thanks a lot, man. Really helped. =D [01:31] I'll try this [01:31] Here's one [01:31] .... [01:31] kitche do the new ones support aiglx? YAY! [01:31] <|box|> K thxs [01:31] what should I have in my xorg.conf to get the NVIDIA X driver loaded? [01:31] |box|, VLC can stream realmedia , can't it? [01:31] the link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes doesn't have the 7.10's [01:31] Lifeisfunny: Go here http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors [01:31] !xgl | kst it's probably the same as in feisty most likely [01:31] <|Flood|> PAStheLoD what got me to give this a try is it supposedly is able to read/write to windows file system [01:31] how do i access the fdisk on linux? [01:31] storms....hate the power outages [01:31] hi [01:31] AZimm, thanks [01:31] i need to access it to remove linux [01:31] I found one in the main gutsy folder on the server I used [01:32] autumnx: fdisk is the command [01:32] <|box|> PAStheLoD: yea but BBC expresly say you need either realplayer or win media player even though i love vlc [01:32] how do I either install or enable the gnome theme manager on 7.10? [01:32] Is anyone else having problems upgrading to gutsy? [01:32] ZaphodBeeblebrox: http://pastebin.ca/741840 [01:32] ZaphodBeeblebrox: could be the glx extension though [01:32] |box|: bbc has a linux iplayer version [01:32] Apeezee: I am but it's after the upgrade [01:32] but when i type it it just gives me a list and i dunno where to start [01:32] Hrm [01:32] <|Flood|> |box| i tried vlc and it's not intuitive nor user friendly [01:32] kitche any idea where the parameters for the automatic Xgl start are set in gutsy? and how should i install the ati drivers from website? do i need to uninstall something first? [01:32] Apeezee: umm servers are being hammered right now [01:32] is it advised to use apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade? [01:32] I am trying to update but i keep getting errors [01:32] cousin_luigi: What do you mean? [01:32] Hi, I'm upgrading a laptop to 7.10, and in the process, xscreensaver turned on and locked the display. Libpam and so on was replaced by the upgrade, and now it doesn't accept my password to unlock it. What should I do ? [01:32] lwizardl, under preferences -- appearances [01:32] Apeezee: I agree it's probably the servers [01:32] |Flood|, i can tell you that Ubuntu is capable of doing such marvelous things .. I'm copying from an NTFS drive to another .. ATM ;] [01:32] kitche: yea, thats what i was figuring..

[01:34] RB2, thanks fot the support [01:34] nn [01:34] SideyB: I DO [01:34] hey guys, a quick question: i'm about to install gutsy over my feisty install, and i have a separate partition for /home. The gutsy installer tells me "there were no users or operating systems suitable for importing from." and then asks me to create a new user.. if i use the same username and tell it to mount (but NOT format) the partition as /home, it isn't going to overwrite all of my data there, is it? [01:34] all i get after an install is a black screen [01:34] I am trying to upgrade from feisty and the installaton crashes a beagelDeamon.exe and refuses to continue. Any one getting this as well? [01:34] etank: It won't even download all the packages for me right now :) [01:34] it was copuz hit 39% [01:34] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). If I plug it in at the command line I get the error "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62". [01:34] SideyB: but I g2g install gutsy, ask in #ffmpeg :) [01:34] i got to try to log in once [01:34] Apeezee: i was seeing that too [01:34] where are the lock files for firefox please? [01:34] iapx8088: Anytime [01:34] ok [01:34] etank: yea, it keeps failing on some files [01:34] thanks [01:35] etank: is that the same issue u are having?> [01:35] SideyB: by the way, it's highly recommended that ffmpeg is compiled from source, you'll probably get flamed in #ffmpeg if you use the binary from apt as it's probably old [01:35] <|Flood|> PAStheLoD so with today's ubuntu release is there something else i need to download to get the gutsy GUI? [01:35] <|box|> i do like this better than xp :) and vista just suxs [01:35] kthxbye [01:35] cousin_luigi: should I add those lines if they aren't there already and give it another shot?

I just switched to a console, logged in and killed xscreensaver... nevermind [01:35] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [01:35] w32codecs: Depends: libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1) but it is not installable [01:35] kitche: the xorg.conf file does have "Driver "nvidia" " however nvidia-settings complains that the NVIDIA X driver isn't loaded....

[01:39] repo or compiling [01:39] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [01:39] cousin_luigi: so I apt-get remove nvidia-glx-new, restart X and then apt-get install it again? [01:39] Anyone know anything about Xorg problems with Gutsy? [01:39] <`m0> It is aasking me to install sun-java6-doc , I don't know why...

If it is, try test another usb port. Maybe no luck, but can't hurt to try. [01:40] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[01:41] demon_spork: ~30 gigs [01:41] ZaphodBeeblebrox: it doesn't make much sense though [01:41] cousin ok, be right back [01:41] H246, how would one go about making a mirror and adding it to the current network of mirrors? [01:42] ok... i cannot get X-server to work at all in the livecd and my card is Nvidia 7300 GS pci-express. i tried altering xorg.conf to use "nv" and "vesa" but neither of those will work. the (EE) is something about AIGLX: Dri not supported on screen 0. does anyone know what the correct workaround is for this. (i've tried booting both default and failsafe modes) [01:42] So, I'm installing 7.10 from a CD, and it's stuck at the "Scanning the Mirror" step, probably because most of the mirrors are down. There used to be a cancel thingy, but now it's not there. [01:42] haru: look in ~/.firefox/ [01:42] <`m0> Apeezee: according to the forums, 90% of them are formatting it [01:42] does fglrx come with gutsy automatically?? [01:42] Is it ever going to time out? [01:42] <`m0> Apeezee: cause many of them didn't go well in the past [01:42] did anyone try rainlendar 2 in gutsy? i got this error when starting it: [01:42] how can i change the flash plugin for firefox. ive selected it as gnash (64bit) but it is really bad. i couldnt find a way to remove it and use adobe's one.

[01:44] kitche: Whats the thing about bbc's plugin lock-in to windows that I've been reading about? [01:44] haru: The application may have shut down abnormally, leaving the lock in place.

[01:44] is the installation of the broadcom wireless cards the same as it was in feisty?? [01:44] b33r: may have scaled down [01:44] taime1: should be, yes. [01:44] b33r: they do tht when not fully used [01:44] taime1: unless restricted drivers manager handles it now. [01:44] taime1: you may want to check that. [01:44] i see [01:45] i am on gparted, how do i remove partitions? [01:45] Pici: people made bbc support all three platforms but doesn't seem to be until christmas when it fully comes out sicne I did a search for bbc linux iplayer and found bunch of links for it [01:45] is there a way to make gutsy try to start a Normal x server not this odd one that won't work...? failsafe mode does not seem to do that... [01:45] v3ctor, are you sure? [01:45] kitche: ah :) [01:45] <|box|> Pici: is the iplayer just tied into xp will they be releasing mac and linux players?

[01:47] coaster: prolly :) [01:47] autumnx, GParted is easy to use. Just select delete or erase partition and create a new one in the unallocated space. You need to run from the Live CD or make sure your partitions are not mounted when attempting to to changes. [01:47] kitche, thanks [01:48] openbysource: reboot, see wha happens :P [01:48] the_darkside_986: which card do you have? [01:48] ok thanks [01:48] Apeezee: okay. [01:48] <|box|> is it normally this busy ? [01:48] goodnight [01:48] Is there a way to check if I am running a firewall? [01:48] are you running ubuntu? [01:48] than yes you are [01:48] Yes. [01:48] How can I know that [01:48] i am having problems connecting to my wireless internet, if i boot with the CD i can log on to my wireless internet, but if i boot with hard drive i can't connect, can anyone help? [01:48] emeriste, yes a lots of online security checks are for that [01:48] Like what? [01:49] !firewall | emeriste [01:49] emeriste: 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). [01:49] I thought there would be a way to look at something and see if it's on. [01:49] I have put in an applet that monitors eth0, it is always showing activity, does a NFS mount use bandwidth even when not being accessed. [01:49] Pici - so it's available but does that mean it's on? [01:49] emeriste: no, it means its on, but configurable only with those tools [01:49] <|box|> OI ffs i can pull off media files from me Xp hdd holly molly im impressed [01:49] emeriste, ask your real question. Why do you want to know if you are behind a firewall? [01:50] <`m0> Ah nooo, not again... when I updated 7.04 to 7.10, it is hanging up on ALL apt-get commands, it is thinking I have something to install, it always points to jdk-6-doc installation [01:50] i have two nics one onboard via_rhine and one realtek8139c. the kernel recognized it and assigned it as eth1 and eth0 respectively. but network manager shows only eth0 and eth2????? where did eth1 go? [01:50] demon_spork: i have the nvidia 7300 GS card on pci-express [01:50] <`m0> beh [01:50] emeriste: iptables -L should give you a rulle set if you do have one in place [01:50] tbuss, ok i deleted .parentlock and theres no lockfile.. and yet it doesnt run :( [01:50] emeriste: http://www.hackerwatch.org/probe/ [01:50] I want to know if installing pidentd will put my privacy more at risk on IRC [01:50] tbuss, isnt copying over a profile folder supposed to work? [01:50] the_darkside_986, when you boot the liveCD, try hitting "alt+ctrl+backspace" after it finishes booting and just displays the blank screen [01:50] emeriste: there is no such thing as privacy anymore on irc :) [01:50] lol [01:51] not if you configure it right [01:51] demon_spork: i have done that and it just comes back up. the gnome music plays but there is still a blank screen. [01:51] That's why I said "more at risk" [01:51] hmm [01:51] haru: sorry but I have to run, this might help though http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use [01:51] <|box|> is my firmware firewall acting as a proxy? [01:51] emeriste: with it and without it it won't matter anyways [01:51] the_darkside_986, don't know what else to do [01:51] demon_spork: i have managed to be able to kill gdm and edit an xorg.conf file but nothing seems to make the blank screen and AIGLX error quit [01:51] tbuss, cant open browser :P [01:51] |box|: doubtful. [01:52] <`m0> It is saving in thte /var/lib/dpkg/info/ directory all the failed installtions :S [01:52] haru: right :P [01:52] ubuntu 7.10 is taking a while to upgrade [01:52] lol [01:52] the_darkside_986: the blank screen is most likely a bug with the nvidia binary drivers just don't use them or upgrade them manually [01:52] Does #ubuntu+1 redirect to #ubuntu, currently? [01:52] the_darkside_986, I got it working on my 8800GTS and on my GF4 MX440, don't know what to do for your 7300 [01:52] wth, it keeps getting to 99% of the multiverse source file, then says failed in the update manager [01:52] grr [01:52] haru: ok, hold on [01:52] jkimball4: probably [01:52] <`m0> So I have to remove each installtion that has a postinst extension [01:52] tbuss, thanks :D [01:52] the_darkside_986, are you sure that is the only error? Search for other errors in the X logs. [01:52] jkimball4, yes. Until the next version is started, in two-three weeks [01:52] demon_spork: did you do anything special or it just booted up fine? and yes that is the only error i could find in the file. [01:52] <|box|> then my pc isnt at all protected just went to http://www.hackerwatch.org/probe and they bent me over and could get what ever they needed [01:52] haru: try starting in from cli for error messages? [01:52] ok i have 2 gig of ram so i have been told that i can should limit my swap file to 1 gb [01:53] Hi, my Update Manager freezes whenever I try to upgrade to 7.10 [01:53] o ya [01:53] theres a lot of people [01:53] any truth to that? [01:53] downloading it [01:53] tbuss, none.. jsut says ff already running [01:53] I can't get gutsy to stop running fsck and trying to fix "superblock last mount time is in the future." every single time, like it never actually fixes it, just says that it does [01:53] |box|: by the way using an online scan is a very bad security practice :) sicne they tend to log ips and the scans [01:53] haru: do you have htop installed? [01:53] and it also freezes after trying to do that [01:53] lol [01:53] tbuss, yes [01:53] demon_spork: means your system time is setup wrong [01:53] <|box|> need a good firewall any sug? [01:53] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). If I plug it in at the command line I get the error "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62". [01:53] whats your guys download rate for ubuntu upgrade [01:54] |box|: iptables [01:54] localgod11, swap is used as additional RAM. If you have plenty you do not need more than 1 GB swap. But if you want to hibernate all your RAM then you need as much swap as you have RAM. [01:54] does the binary nvidia driver ship with the gutsy live cd? how would i tell xorg.conf to use that one? [01:54] Choji: read the /topic [01:54] |box|: get a cheap little linksys or other firewall/router device. [01:54] kitche, yeah, but when that has happened before it just fixed it and goes on with the boot, but gutsy just stops after running fsck and sits there [01:54] so so 2gb swap [01:54] Choji: mine is all FUBAR'd... It gets to 99% on files then fails them, its funy. [01:54] :( [01:54] i am having problems connecting to my wireless internet, if i boot with the CD i can log on to my wireless Internet, but if i boot with hard drive i can't connect, can anyone help? [01:54] is there some kind of "main" log file somewhere? [01:54] haru: doesnt show user/lin/firefox/firefox-bin ?

[01:55] SpuddDog : Look in /var/log/message [01:55] the_darkside_986: you could look in the xorg.conf and see what it says its using. [01:55] SpudDogg: /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog and /var/log/daemon.log are usefu. [01:55] Choji: mine went at 160kB/s .. i changed my repos to a local mirror though before i began [01:55] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). If I plug it in at the command line I get the error "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62".

I dunno, it's built-in [02:03] checking [02:03] what is the chipset [02:03] demon_spork: no clue it might pull in nvidia-glx or something? [02:03] i have been using gutsy beta for the past few days, dual booting with windows xp, but now want to reinstall ubuntu using the whole disk. when i ask the installer to use the entire disk to install, it does not allow me to create different partitions for home and / [02:03] can anyone help me make an ext drive writable [02:03] run lspci [02:03] i cant seem to find out how [02:03] bah stupid windows doesnt let me select and copy/paste name [02:03] i just got another hdd [02:03] how can you make the 7.10 installer pick up raid partitions [02:03] does anybody use the kiba dock here? [02:03] iobelisk: you have to do it manually instead [02:03] jcapote, dmraid [02:03] and formatted it ext3 [02:03] Realtek RTL8138/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC [02:03] do i have to use the manual partitioning method? [02:03] oh [02:03] okay [02:03] PAStheLoD: would i need to get the alternative install cd [02:04] kitche, it doesn't pull in anything new, it just removes nvidia-glx-new [02:04] jcapote, sudo apt-get install dmraid .. then mount /dev/mapper/whatever_youhave[number] ..

[02:04] so i select each partition manually, determine mount point for each partition? [02:04] jcapote: I think (not sure) you need to use tha alternate cd. [02:04] PAStheLoD: i can do this from the livecd [02:04] well if u want to install and use ubuntu yes [02:04] i accidentally delteed displayconfig-gtk.. reinstalled it and reconfigured the x server, but now everything lags REALLY bad (with compiz). i have an ati card, didn't do this before. what could be the problem? [02:04] PovAddict : This is your wireless card? [02:04] I would really like to have nvidia-settings but I can't seem to get it because I have to use nvidia-glx-new [02:04] PAStheLoD: im on the default livecd now [02:04] but if u just want to "take a pic" [02:04] ? [02:04] I dont have wireless [02:04] lo [02:04] relax and play gnome games [02:04] jcapote, I don't know what this alternative CD thing is .. but yeah you can do stuff from the live cd .. === cmonkey is now known as nrp [02:04] how do i run an order in gvim? === Unbutu[G33Z3R is now known as |box| [02:05] PAStheLoD: the alternate cd is the one i installed it with because it has raid support [02:05] PovAddict : This card is working out of the box on my Averatec [02:05] noxin: ":help", lots to learn [02:05] g2g dinner [02:05] <|box|> ok ill bite whats iptables and is it accesable through terminal? [02:05] jcapote, hm, then that should work if you're luck .. a guy about half an hour ago was here sucking with the alternative cd and his VIA raid..

[02:06] <|box|> vocx: thans ill have more n00b q later [02:06] Yeah, the 3d window manager isn't being loaded [02:06] yea i need the alternate cd [02:06] brb [02:06] |box|: firewall software for linux. See 'man iptable' [02:07] iobelisk: if you make has the bios on the hard drive you don't want to delete that partition or else you would have to reinstall the bios [02:07] anyone have any idea with any wireless problems (intel 2200bg)? [02:07] iobelisk: unless you mean the backup partition [02:07] What's a good Linux irc client? I'm using pidgin right now. [02:07] kitche, is there such thing? BIOS on hard drive? [02:07] bashveank: xchat irssi bitchX epic [02:07] anyone know what the error "Could not resolve mount point /mnt/Movies" could mean? the directory is good, i just created it [02:07] bashveank, xchat .. [02:07] vocx: yes compaq did it for a long time before HP bought them [02:07] hi all, anyone have any idea how i can go about virtualizing windows xp on to ubuntu ??? any help apreciated [02:07]

After I plug my pendrive, gnome print a message: "Can't mount the volume. Invalid mount option". I use fat32 filesystem on the removable device. What should be happening? [02:07] dgr, vmware [02:08] Is Pidgin inferior to those in some way? [02:08] anyone understand why my toshiba laptop won't standby for the second time when I shut the lid? [02:08] well it is a 3 gb partition. i am not sure if it has the bios installed there. i thought usually the bios is installed on the motherboard itself? [02:08] bashveank: pidgin is not really meant for a irc client [02:08] kitche: HP doesn't do that anymore though [02:08] <|box|> ok save me asking n00b question about iptables ill google it === Drevor_ is now known as Drevor [02:08] spuddogg how do i get that? add/remove apps? [02:08] it did come prepartitioned that way from the manufacturer though [02:08] i'm getting severe lag with an ati card after reconfiguring x [02:08] MarcN: correct like I stated [02:08] iobelisk: it's probably a backup partition [02:08] dgr, your best bet is to go to the vmware site and follow the ubuntu instructions [02:09] spuddogg thx [02:09] kitche:But how is Pidgin inferior to a "real" irc client? [02:09] when browsing folders on a windows partition in linux, special characters are displayed incorrectly (like this: "H\303\241k", not "Hák") how do i fix this? [02:09] dgr, i had issues installing vmware via apt-get on gutsy's beta versions, don't know if it got fixed [02:09] bashveank: it doesn't support some commands but it's ok I guess [02:09] i have to ask: What's the difference between the 3.4 gig DVD iso and the 700mb desktop iso? [02:09] iobelisk, still, tell us the brand of the PC. [02:09] eugo: in a terminal or nautilus? [02:09] <|box|> sudo iptables -L -v ? then create mmy own? [02:10] do you think i should just let it for now? i could format it later once ive researched what exactly is in the partition. would it be possible to format this partition later and actually have it merge to my home partition? [02:10] joshjosh: more software packages on the cd probably [02:10] drg, I recommend VirtualBox, is much better than vmware [02:10] dvd has more packages on it. [02:10] drg, pm and I can help you [02:10] hi all, my ubuntu install keeps swapping the drive device codes after rebooting.....and my raid5 trips out and dies....any idea why? [02:10] Installed automatically or just to use the DVD as a repo? [02:10] joshjosh: repo [02:10] greetings [02:10] SpudDogg: I had a dependency error when trying to install vmware from the repository. I went back yesterday and it was completely removed. [02:10] terminal [02:11] for example /dev/sda would become /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb would become /dev/sdc it's wierd [02:11] eugo: does your terminal emulator support unicode? [02:11] the extra packages dont get installoed. but if you choose to install something that is on the dvd it will pull it from the dvd instead of having to d/l it [02:11] bashveank, Awesome. I already have it installed, but i might grab the DVD iso just so i can install stuff if my connection goes down [02:11] is it possible to merge an existing partition to another existing partition while formatting? [02:11] the dvd doesnt have the full repo on it though. but there are quite a few packages there [02:12] on a windows box i run: scp -r user@bla:/mnt/whatever . and the folders in the windows dir are fucked [02:12] <|box|> think ill download firestarter [02:12] iobelisk, no. You need to erase one partition and resize the other one to use the unallocated space left by the first one. [02:12] the char's are messed up [02:12] iobelisk: you can delete one partition and make another one larger, providing they are next to eachother. For real mergin you would need to copy the data manualy [02:12] so you're running windows? [02:12] would resizing result in data loss? [02:12] yea on this box [02:12] how can I do the upgrade with the cd? [02:12] the one that holds the files is a linux [02:13] but the files are on a windows partition [02:13] iobelisk: Not if you're making it larger [02:13] hi.. does the xgl stuff work on the new livecd? [02:13] iobelisk, the risk is always there. But normally you should have no problem. [02:13] I am going to ask the question of the day. I'm sure it's been ask tens, if not hundreds of times today, so I apologize in advance. How do I upgrade from the development branch to the stable version of gutsy? [02:13] but you are running the commands from under linux or windows? [02:13] monkey_instinct, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [02:13] anyone understand why my toshiba laptop won't standby for the second time when I shut the lid? [02:13] anyone here beat gnuchess on easy? [02:13] windows [02:13] if you already installed from the 700mb cd. then want to use the dvd as a temp repo you will need to to add it as a repo. sudo apt-cdrom (i believe) [02:13] well then I dont know man ;p [02:13] thats a windows problem [02:13] !bot [02:13] can I do the upgrade with an ISO file? [02:13] where do I get the package "emerald-themes" from gutsy? [02:13] techjim: There should be a setting for that in System [02:13] monkey_instinct, no [02:14] any ideas? [02:14] vocx: the bot is having a hard time tonight :P [02:14] drama1981, sudo apt-cdrom add [02:14] ok great! thank you! one last question please. is BIOS usually installed on the HDD or on the motherboard itself? reason i ask is i have a manufacturer partition on my drive and im not sure whether its a back up or the BIOS [02:14] i did a ls /mnt/whatever and the filenames are like this: "H\303\241k", not "Hák" [02:14] how are you even executing ls from windows [02:14] iobelisk: the mobo itself [02:14] eugo: /etc/fstab sounds like it's mounting /mnt/Whatever without proper charset support. [02:14] monkey-instinct: run sudo update-manager [02:14] kitche, seems so. Do you know if it has been reported already? [02:14] iobelisk: it's in the motherboard. [02:14] eugo: its a UTF-8 encoding [02:14] and thats in the console, so i might start there [02:14] what is the 'super' key? [02:14] DShepherd yep thats it. thankx for correcting me. ive never had to use it but i knew it was something like that [02:14] vocx: LjL most likely knows it since he had his bot in here for a little bit [02:14] flick: the 'windows' or 'apple' key [02:14] the windows key @ flick [02:14] flick, that would be the "windows" key [02:14] so how do i add my lang to the encoding? [02:14] I am going to ask the question of the day. I'm sure it's been ask tens, if not hundreds of times today, so I apologize in advance. How do I upgrade from the development branch to the stable version of gutsy? [02:14] aaah [02:15] alright well my wireless is obviously sort of working.. it's now autoconnected to a network other than mine but i can't access any sort of wireless configuration screen [02:15] !test [02:15] cool! after a few months of dual booting now i can go say a permanent goodbye to windows! [02:15] monkey_instinct, you should be able to burn the iso and then update [02:15] tamgo: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [02:15] does the xgl stuff work on the new livecd? or does one have to install to hd? [02:15] Is there any plugin or program to have video as wallpaper on Ubuntu? Like DreamScene for Vista... [02:15] LjL: seems like it dies just like the repos tonight [02:15] i sure hope cadega or somethng or the other can play NBA Live though!! [02:15] ebirtaid might i pm u a sec [02:15] what is the channel for support on changing from Feisty Fawn to Gutsy? [02:15] onboard nvidia video, what xorg config should I use for it? [02:15] dngr: I don't know about xgl, but the aiglx/compiz effects work right off the livecd [02:15] GamingX: this is it [02:16] dystopianray, how do you know if its working or not? [02:16] thanks... it says "hold down and move the mouse" to create ripples, which doesn't seem to be working somehow [02:16] Weird.. installed the xorg-glx and restarted and it puked back at me to failsafe screen and driver config. So.. ATI9800Pro+fglrx+xorg glx = forget? [02:16] is there a way to statically set the device codes in /dev? [02:16] <|Flood|> aye aye aye carramba [02:16] Does Gutsy automatically include the updated libgpod packages for the new iPod classics? [02:16] oh....So, I just have to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy...is it? [02:16] dngr: i'm not sure exactly [02:16] what is the thing that makes beryl blink. it is really annoying to see the screen blink once e few times.. anyone had that problem? [02:16] is anyone using the chandler app here? [02:17] crshman, I think there is. You need to research on "udev" and some rules for devices. [02:17] how to make a clock on my desk ? [02:17] how do I use pidentd with ubuntu (im using xchat if that's important) [02:17] ah ok thnx vocx i'll start the forum searching [02:17] GamingX: yes but I would wait fo ra hwile or use the uk mirrors [02:17] I think I've just installed it but now what?

[02:18] god ,every one is english ,can you tell me the name ? [02:18] Will all the packages that I installed on Feisty remain? [02:18] caner: enable vertical sync, that should help [02:18] When I have compiz enabled, I can't resize my windows; do I need a plugin enabled/disabled? [02:18] emeriste, this is a classic read-the-manual answer. You can't expect us to know. I'm not using it by the way, and I don't feel less secure. [02:18] lhb: you need a desklet [02:19] lhb try xclock - see the man page for ways to make it look pretty [02:19] oh, wait "Resize Window" should do it [02:19] lhb i think gdesklets is what you are looking for [02:19] i can't access any wireless configuration screens in kubuntu 7.10.. the card's autoconnected to a neighbour's wireless but i can't seem to find any sort of configuration screen to connect to my wpa2 network [02:19] man the security servers are being hammered arnt they [02:19] All servers are being hammered [02:19] DrUnKnMuNkY: you don't have knetworkmanager in the system tray?

[02:20] JohnRobert: that is an upstream bug not really a gutsy bug [02:20] could i use uids to get around the problem of changing dev codes?

[02:40] MajorPoopyPants, I beleive the support for lts is 4 years [02:40] MajorPoopyPants: in 2010 you can move to 8.04 LTS and have a new kernel [02:40] cant update :( [02:40] Hmm [02:40] Shpook : Yes you should be able to. If you don't want to, you can just set it to it's highest setting (no scaling) [02:40] jordoex: sorry .. don't know then [02:40] v3ctor: can u verify if martian driver or Lucent/Agere winmodem is there on the lsit? [02:41] RenatoSilva: system > administration > restircted driver manager [02:41] RenatoSilva: they are supposed to be [02:41] the lucent at least [02:41] jewbilee, just update all packages according to the update manager. [02:41] Hello, I downloaded ubuntu 7.10 today, I am currently running the 64 bit live cd.

[02:41] v3ctor: I'll download gusty just tomorrow [02:41] vocx: update manager has not told me to update anything [02:41] !enter | v3ctor [02:41] v3ctor: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [02:41] jewbilee: I believe that all the upgrades you've experienced over the last two weeks have brought you to the final version ... I installed the RC two days ago [02:41] vocx: am I automatically up to date? [02:41] hi guys, im trying to virtualise windows xp on ubuntu, i tryed vmware but i cant use it, i got a error, not compatible with amd 64 hardware, any suggestions, thx [02:42] Pelo: i did [02:42] !hdparm [02:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about hdparm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:42] jewbilee, probably as seamus7 says [02:42] Pelo: cool snaps! [02:42] seamus7: ok, thanks [02:42] anyone else know how to change the odd brown color that comes in between the gdm login and the desktop initialization? it's not just in the login window settings... or should i just switch to using kdm XD [02:42] dgr: qemu will work, virtualbox might [02:42] Shpook: As i remember it, the different settings are something like powersave, ondemand, conservative, performance.. etc.. if you set to performance it doesn't scale your CPU back [02:42] ive turned beryl off but the screen keep blinking. this is really annoying . couold anyone pls help? [02:42] Alright, I'll give that a shot. I just want to figure out if this is hardware related or if it's Ubuntu...random freezes aren't fun :-) [02:42] dgr, ask in #vmware [02:42] Guys, is dist-upgrade EXACTLY the same as re-installing from scratch? I'm tired os the 2nd one [02:42] is hdparm obsolete in feisty [02:42] * gidim cries. [02:42] anyone know how to make sure i am up to date? [02:42] god damnit. "ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gobject/_gobject.so: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_FromObject" someone please help me [02:42] ok, thx pelo thx dystopianray [02:42] Update Manager is not connecting for me. [02:42] Can I use APTonCD to make a dist-upgrade?? [02:42] Shpook : and as for your question about using only 1 of 2 cores, I don't believe Ubuntu would ever do that unless there was a setting that allowed you to turn SMP off. I don't know what the setting is, but I bet it exists. [02:42] RenatoSilva, dist-upgrade should keep your progs and config [02:43] * cjae_ hopes for an answer as has been searching for 4 days [02:43] logreeval: no, you might have more problems by upgrading [02:43] The ext3 file system creation in partition #7 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. Can someone help me? [02:43] Shpook: try booting a non-smp kernel. [02:43] !libata [02:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about libata - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:43] has anyone manage to stretch over 3 monitors with Xinerama ? [02:43] RenatoSilva, you can use the alternate install cd to do that , no need to make another one [02:43] RenatoSilva: no ... a fresh installation ensures a clean install ... many people like to do clean installs for that reason ... if you have your file system in its own partition then fresh installs are much less work [02:43] rryan: Thank a lot man, I'm just trying to get this figured out. [02:43] jordoex: what do you mean? [02:43] logreeval: sorry, wrong response [02:43] hey heres another quick question ... would i see and big difference in getting the amd64 version over the regular one??? i have a turion64x2 processor [02:43] Shpook : nods, welcome [02:44] pauldy, when did this happen what were you doing ? [02:44] un1x01d : yep, I'm doing it right now [02:44] god damnit.

[02:44] MarcN: Okay, that went above my head...what is a non-smp kernel? lol [02:44] rryan, i have to use separate desktop per monitor :( [02:44] * Pelo wonders why he decided to come in here on upgrade day [02:44] shinynew_, what's the real problem, what do you want to do, which application? [02:44] MarcN, okay, How do I do that rather, I basically know what it is [02:44] jordoex: do you happened to know...i install the gutsy RC, how do i know that it is up to date? [02:44] WHOAH today a new version of ubuntu was released??? [02:44] * v3ctor wonders why Pelo is here also [02:44] hello [02:44] Anyone here have sling player working under wine?

[02:45] PaulFehr, when did this happen what were you doing ? [02:45] How do I enable widescreen resolutions? [02:45] un1x01d : Xinerama allows you to stitch the screens together so you can share windows between them and so on [02:45] logreeval: just run synaptic and reload [02:45] Pelo: When installing 7.10, after i hit install. [02:45] MajorPoopyPants: according to my timestamp -it was only yesterday ;) [02:45] @vocx i have reinstalled python2.5 libgtk-2.0-0 [02:45] logreeval: go to System Monitor and tell me what it says under System Tab and Ubuntu Release? [02:45] PaulFehr: IS PARTITION MOUNT ON /? [02:45] telliott, edit the xorg.conf file to add the extra resolutions [02:45] rryan, did u try Twinview ? [02:45] pibe86: yes [02:45] sorry [02:45] PaulFehr, clean install or upgrade ? [02:45] lol plik [02:46] Yo, is anybody available to help with an installation problem for gutsy? [02:46] anyone ? [02:46] hi [02:46] shinynew_, seems like you are missing GTK libraries? maybe reinstall "ubuntu-desktop" but seems radical. [02:46] Pelo: Clean install [02:46] there used to be a tool for that .... [02:46] "open cdrom1" is not opening the bottom cd tray -- not opening!! grrrrrrr [02:46] PaulFehr: is ti logical or primary? [02:46] okay i have a big problem, i get the error "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" can anyone help please [02:46] un1x01d ; Yes, I tried TwinView, but it didn't work because my PCI NVIDIA card is too old to use the NVIDIA drivers, they have to use the old ones.. so TwinView can't join that one with the other 2 [02:46] Wow...this room is busy tonight with Gutsy being release.... [02:46] shmoolikipod: is it on the same hard drive as your ubuntu installation? [02:46] Is there any plugin or program to have video as wallpaper on Ubuntu? Like DreamScene for Vista... [02:46] @vocx also i am running xubuntu, what about building gtk from source? [02:46] pibe86: one minute, let me check [02:46] yeah, some of them [02:46] seamus7: [02:46] seamus7: it says Release 7.10(gutsy) [02:47] anybody here have used Freeloader before? [02:47] PaulFehr, use gparted from the admin menu and make the partitons first [02:47] un1x01d : my xorg.conf : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41149/ [02:47] logreeval: I believe that means you are now using Gutsy Final [02:47] anybody know why the livecd boots to a garbled and distorted screen (laptop with gf go 6150) [02:47] Pelo: The installer partitioner doesn't work well? [02:47] seamus7: ok cool, if it was a release candidate, do you think it would say? [02:47] PaulFehr, it usualy does but occasionnaly some ppl have issues, pre partitionning helps [02:48] Pelo: Ok, I'll try that. [02:48] Creed: i saw some vids on youtube... apparently they used xwinwrap; it's possible, but i dunno [02:48] kevleviathan: did you try the video safe boot option? [02:48] shinynew_, too much trouble I presume. Install gtk-base or something like that. What did you do that caused that error message? [02:48] Hello [02:48] logreeval: I believe so ... but I've read in a number of places that all the updates over the last couple days have brought RC to the final release ... they are one and the same [02:48] Xanthus: no I didn't, but I've had this problem with 7.04 as well [02:48] hi pwnt- [02:48] DOES anyone know if the latest kernel version 2.6.22-14-generic breaks the INTELHDA sound card? is there a fix coming? [02:48] PaulFehr, also , you can only have 4 primary partitions on any hdd, you might have to make new ones as logical [02:48] jordoex, thanks, that looks like it :) [02:48] Xanthus: I can get it to install if I use that option, but when it boots up after that its the same thing over again [02:48] un1x01d : If both your NVIDIA cards are new enough for nvidia drivers, you should try using TwinView to merge them. It's faster than Xinerama. [02:48] seamus7: ok, cool, thanks for the help :) [02:48] i have 2 x Nvida Pci-e and i have 2 monitors on 1 and another one on the other i can't get neither xinerama or twinview working [02:49] Pelo: this would be the 3rd partition (not including the swap) [02:49] seamus7: goodbye [02:49] @vocx well it started after i tried to update, and basically whenever i tried to open any GUI [02:49] logreeval: bye [02:49] rryan, yea those are 2x 7900GS [02:49] PaulFehr, it was just a thought [02:49] plik: have you ever used Freeloader app? [02:49] @vocx also i am getting an error whenever i try to install ubuntu-desktop [02:49] schmoolikipod: you haven't found none of your ntfs partitions mounting? [02:49] un1x01d : does the nvidia-settings tool help at all ? Are you using the latest nvidia drivers or the ones in the Ubuntu repositories?

[02:51] root_: they disappear only when you switch manager or change decoration [02:51] it works perfectly, and im loving the effects, just kind of annoying [02:51] does ubuntu server edition come with a desktop installed on it as well? [02:51] hi all again. i still cannot get past the "AIGLX: screen 0 is not DRI capable" problem. it, by default, uses the old "nv" driver not nvidia. how do i load the nvidia-glx binary modules and drivers and use them during the livecd? are they even included?

[02:58] dystopianray: what I have done is installing the ati restricted drivers. In feisty one used the open source drivers I remember. Was some fiddling to get that to work back then. he he [02:58] Charlotte: no need for tool type it in terminal fsck [02:58] Charlotte: badblocks [02:58] un1x01d : Basically, you need to edit xorg.conf to remove TwinView, and make 3 separate [02:58] Screens [02:58] |Life|: sudo pkill firefox [02:58] how do I restore my feisty software on gusty???? [02:58] RB2, don't know ask in #ubuntu-effects [02:58] !nvidia [02:58] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:58] Then in your ServerLayout, specify each screen as left of the next one [02:58] ok, thanks again [02:58] Charlotte, do this, fsck [02:58] like it is in mine [02:58] PELO: ubuntu, loaded, i can see my nvida 5500 in hardware devies/system it was expanded the first go tho... [02:58] |Life|: psauxww | grep firefox , then sudo kill the process no [02:58] RenatoSilva, install it again , one by one [02:58] $ sudo fsck [02:58] fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) [02:58] fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID=297fd21f-c6f1-4d47-911d-a5cbd1a0125d' [02:58] My poor hard drive has been reformatted and partitioned so many times....I'm surprised it's still alive. [02:58] so does any one have a fix "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" [02:58] this is what i got???? [02:59] |Life|: sudo killall firefox-bin [02:59] Charlotte, did you specify the drive? [02:59] they need to upload a REAL ubuntu release without this non-functional compiz and x server so i can proudly once again say that i use an OS that lets me browse the internet while installing it. [02:59] hey where can i download the alternate upgrade cd? its not on the site [02:59] Pelo: bad news for me :( [02:59] why wold you need sudo to kill firefox? [02:59] <|Life|> v3ctor, plex__, Xanthus.. thanks a lot, that was easy :) [02:59] does anyone know if i8k 1.27 is the latest version for feisty? [02:59] un1x01d : Actually, if you tried mine, it might work, as long as you change the BusID of the video cards to match which ones yours are. [02:59] dystopianray: so in order to get this radeon to play along.. what do I need to get it singing aiglx? [02:59] lol dark side lol [02:59] pwnt-, you need to wait. Servers are loaded. Wait a few hours, days, weeks or months. [02:59] pazsion, you have the desktop ? restriced video driver will require a restart so you probably can'T load it wile in live session [02:59] i am isntalling and surfing at te same time [02:59] un1x01d : And you'd need to change the monitor settings to match your monitors, mine are LCDs [02:59] Optimus55: get the torrent from http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ [02:59] |Life|: you are welcome :) [02:59] Cryoniq: it should 'just work' afaik === christopher_ is now known as TinyGrasshopper [02:59] Charlotte, and ou should actually do it without the drive being mounted [02:59] would splashy disable kernel output [02:59] Gnome really dislikes saving any changes I've made to the interface after I reboot [03:00] hey can anyone tell me why ubuntu isn't connecting to my wireless network? [03:00] vocx: I can wait months until I can get the final gutsy update. is that what you mean? [03:00] plik: sweet beans man, thanks! [03:00] RenatoSilva, all your settings will be saved if you backed up your /home folder [03:00] mrj: same here....try google, I remember reading a fix for that somewhere. [03:00] Optimus55: welcome [03:00] Pelo: just saying that it;s there and detected...haven't run any programs to test it, but everything is working fine...this very computer i'm on now [03:00] so, since i am on an nvidia card that sucks... is there anyway to make the nv or vesa drivers work AT ALL during the live CD? isn't there a non-xgl x server on there? Xorg doesn't work it does the same thing as running "X" [03:00] pwnt-, .... mmm ... yes? [03:00] mrj: if your having a problem with the bars moving to the top, the one on the bottom needs to be DRAGGED to the botom (thats what fixed it for me) [03:00] mrj: you're talking about screenlet/icon locations, colors, etc? [03:00] spezticle: i don't know ... you tell me ;) [03:00] hello [03:00] vocx: okay i'll wait few months [03:00] boa noite [03:00] yeah, icons, bars moving around, etc [03:00] how do I add a user to cdrec group [03:00] amr: hello [03:00] dystopianray: hmm.. what is the driver named? Radeon? [03:00] /dev/sda2: recovering journal [03:00] fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to re-open /dev/sda2 [03:00] e2fsck: io manager magic bad! [03:01] I went through and changed ALL my icons to nice OSX PNGs and they reverted to the originals [03:01] * Pelo realy needs to go to bed now, g'night folks [03:01] Cryoniq: radeon [03:01] Xanthus plz how to make gusty boot faster [03:01] gnight pelo [03:01] happy release! I had gutsy beta installed (it worked better for my newish laptop). Do I just wait for the fracas to subside and update as usual? [03:01] ouch [03:01] sounds like u have problems [03:01] mrj: yea, try dragging the bars, thats what made mine stay :D [03:01] Pelo: but not the software [03:01] I am trying to enable my ATI restricted driver and when I hit the enable checkbox it tells me "Fix broken packages first". What can I do to install my restricted driver? [03:01] lol [03:01] Is there any way of getting a configuration screen of some sort for the "Visual Effects" in 7.10? I know Beryl had a fairly intuitive graphical preferences app and I'd like to be able to customise the 3D effects beyond simply turning them on or off in the "Appearance Preferences" screen. [03:01] mouka: System->Administration->Users and Groups [03:01] Lanken, yes [03:01] mouka: sudo usermod -G cdrec [03:01] Lanken: good plan [03:01] amr: Buy faster hardware [03:01] !ccsm | DIguana [03:01] DIguana: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Gutsy(7.10) install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' - A new option will appear in your appearance properties - see also !compiz [03:01] any one? [03:01] I can't mount my NTFS partitions anymore either, something always breaks when I reboot [03:01] /dev/sda2: recovering journal [03:01] fsck.ext3: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to re-open /dev/sda2 [03:01] e2fsck: io manager magic bad! [03:01] the_darkside_986: just install it if you want to use XGL , but through live cd you cant unless you want to go a long hardway for it to work , and google it :) [03:01] lol well i don't get an IP... theres 2 available wireless networks. one not mine and encrypted, it will try and connect to that one, but can't cos i dont have the key, but when i try to connect to my own, it just waits a few minutes... and stops [03:01] v3ctor: whoa, don't you need -a? [03:01] did you change the file's in the font folders? [03:01] can i run ubuntu in a command based thing or tell it to install to harddrive during boot? [03:01] Is there some way to downgrade from 7.10 back to 7.04? :x [03:01] !downgrade [03:02] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [03:02] i am having a new laptop 1.8 core duo with 1 gig of ram [03:02] jdong: why would i need -a? [03:02] I keep getting an error when I try to install anything with Synaptics. It says a package failed to install. [03:02] Dunas: Nope, fresh install. [03:02] v3ctor: to append the user to the group, rather than setting the user to only that group? [03:02] cafuego, thanks. Bah. Oh well. [03:02] Dunas: do a fresh install using the 7.04 iso [03:02] WorkingOnWise: what error? [03:02] Xanthus on that hardware gusty is slow in boot [03:02] v3ctor: or am I recalling a BSD-ism? [03:02] WorkingOnWise, the error might help [03:02] Charlotte, you are not asking a question. Besides that seems like a borked drive. Do not repeat, better to paste the error. You can run "fsck" on unmonted drives only. [03:02] ahh..sorry, linux usermod seems to bo silly [03:02] xanthus i am having a new laptop 1.8 core duo with 1 gig of ram [03:02] jdong: you are correct [03:02] spezticle: same here ... it takes me a min or so to connect to my wifi encrypted network (wpa2) [03:02] mouka: sudo usermod -a -G cdrec [03:03] amr: you were using Feisty before Gutsy? [03:03] v3ctor: I only learn from those kinds of mistakes the hard way... multiple times :D [03:03] this is so irritating. i think i will just reinstall openSUSE 10.3 until we decide to make a REAL ubuntu release that does not depend on proprietary drivers that cannot be included... [03:03] jdong: bsd-ism would not require the -a [03:03] broken :( it is brend new only a couple of mounts [03:03] 'cause Synaptic's not able to download ANYTHING right now, and Firefox, which was fine on 7.04, keeps dying on me in 7.10... so off to fresh-install. [03:03] WorkingOnWise error installing gutsy , recheck md5sum , check if they match , write at low speeds people , and pray your drive is not dead. [03:03] ubotu: Thanks. If any Ubuntu-devs are reading this, it'd be nice to have that installed by default. [03:03] the_darkside_986, sniffle [03:03] Charlotte, when you ran fsck, did you run it while logged into thesystem or from a recovery disc.. [03:03] how do you run pididentd? [03:03] yes but fesity was slower [03:03] ::wants to install to HD, GUI is really slow:::can i tell it to install to HD during bootup? [03:03] mrj dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1: [03:03] field name ` a package failed to install. [03:03] the_darkside_986: If your unhappy, leave....dont waste your time trying to get a responce [03:03] jdong: i'm a long time solaris guy, some of those minor differences get lost [03:03] dystopianray: hmm.. changed it to readon in screen and graphics, then restarted xorg.. and it was still on vesa.. hmm.. [03:03] the_darkside_986: are you gonna say anything constructive, or just bitch all night? [03:03] i m logon right now [03:03] amr_: fresh install or upgraded? [03:03] dystopianray: refused to change it seemed.. lol [03:03] wait though... how did you other Nvidia ppl have a functional liveCD if that depends on nvidia-glx? i'm confused now [03:03] Charlotte, maybe there is a way to fix it with "fdisk" but I don't know for sure, [03:04] Hmmm... I guess I should've directed my thanks toward crdlb. [03:04] xanthus , i am having fujitsu seimens amilo pi 1505 [03:04] Dunas, there's a pretty logical and obvious reason you can't download from synaptic right now. [03:04] dystopianray: radeon i meant [03:04] fresh [03:04] i'm sorry i love ubuntu but i get depressed when i can't get an OS installed. [03:04] DIguana, indeed :) [03:04] Charlotte, you should log off, boot from the recovery disk, and go from there [03:04] Is anyone else having problems installing/updating your system? http://archive.ubuntu.com seems to be unreachable [03:04] v3ctor: ah, cool :) -- I just wanted to make sure nobody's default groupslist accidentally gets zapped... since in Ubuntu that's NASTY and will lock you out of root without recovery mode! [03:04] Ooh, is there a debugging mode that will log every single little system action, besides the logs in /var/logs? [03:04] (as are others) [03:04] is the dark side also "D-SIDE""?? [03:04] Kanti, read topic [03:04] Kanti: yes, its very slow [03:04] ok [03:04] Cryoniq: change it manually [03:04] Kanti: lots of torrents at http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ [03:04] xanthus , i am having vista on dual boot but vista is faster [03:04] the_darkside_986, use whatever distro works best for you [03:04] Charlotte, read up on chroot first, you will need to do that to get access to the file system [03:04] oh damn, sorry (i shoulda known to check that) [03:04] jdong: thanks for looking out ;) [03:04] dystopianray: driver "radeon" in xorg.conf u mean? :) [03:04] Kanti, naturally [03:05] i'm just joking anyway i hate openSUSE. but ppl on the newer nvidia cards... what did the default xorg.conf say? [03:05] xanthus , vista is booting faster and more responsive [03:05] i've just fresh installed gutsy but it boots up too slow:(((( anybody help me pls?? [03:05] mrj, huh? It's not just Synaptic, Firefox keeps freezing temporarily at times on its own and the file system is giving me problems trying to find a specific file (the flash files, which I was told to uninstall/reinstall) [03:05] Cryoniq: yes [03:05] upgrade to gutsy has hosed my system. tzdata didn't upgrade properly and it messed up some other stuff. I removed it, reinstalled. None of the other stuff will update though. tried to upgrade again but I'm already running 7.10 I think I'm just going to wipe because I've only been running ubuntu for a few weeks. How can I save my virtual machine in vmware so that it will use it once I reinstall? Or should I just reinstall xp and VB [03:05] 2005 since that's what I need it for? please pm [03:05] the darkside 986---are you also "D-SIDE" [03:05] dystopianray: and also change those with glx to aiglx? [03:05] what do u mean chrot list?? [03:05] * Xanthus is seeing a lot of slow boot complaints.... [03:05] someone help me fix my gutsy, when it loads instead of that progress bar thingy, my screen blinks till it comes to GDM [03:05] Cryoniq: only change the driver from vesa to radeon [03:05] found a fix for dolphin (7.10) that allows bookmarks to be saved : chown -R username:username ~/.kde/ some of the folders are mistakenly owned by root. the recursive chown fixes that. woohoo [03:05] mrj when I do "sudo dpkg --configure -a" I get "dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1: field name" [03:05] toxidas: maybe you installed the wrong match for your system , which file you downloaded? alternate or pc x86 or the amd version? [03:05] pazsion: i have no other alias besides my current one [03:05] dystopianray: kk =) [03:05] in gutsy, when i quit rhythmbox & it's paused, it plays like .5 seconds of the last song that I was playing. is anyone else experiencing this? [03:05] Dunas, i was only commenting on not being able to download from synaptic [03:05] all.. i have been using gutsy from when it was in RC1 (i think) and usually i see a standard stream of updates almost everyday.. today after the official release.. i just don't see any software updates.. [03:06] night all [03:06] mrj, is there an alternative to Synaptic right now? [03:06] pavan: i have been trying to update since 11 hours [03:06] pavan, you're like the 50th person to say that, so I'm going to assume there just arent any updates posted for the beta/rc's yet [03:06] pavan, maybe you upgraded to the final release without knowing. [03:06] Dunas, nope [03:06] Dunas: aptitude ? ;) [03:06] evening all [03:06] pavan, thats because the servers are jammed right now [03:06] Dunas, there are apt mirrors [03:06] 哇 [03:06] darkside-- good =) i'd have to frag you D-SIDE is a person in #linux on underground that's been a real D =) [03:06] pavan, im experiencing same thing [03:06] Dunas: apt-get or aptitude [03:06] Dunas, most of us are just waiting [03:06] xanthus, i saw many people on ubuntu forums having the same issue , is that a bug [03:06] pavan: the server updates are closed temporary reasons lets wait for that huh [03:07] No, he wants mirrors for apt/aptitude, not command alternatives [03:07] um.. my right click is too sensitive.. every time i right click it just automatically selects the first option from the right click menu.. for example, if i right click on the desktop, it just creates a new folder. it's a bit irritating, which part of the mouse settings do i tweak? [03:07] thx guys.... makes sense.. [03:07] pavan: kdelibs need fixing for kopete. there is a fixed up package, and it should be in gutsy-proposed before too long ... [03:07] mrj: ooops, sorry :) [03:07] WorkingOnWise: do a "sudo apt-get update", maybe it refresh the available file [03:07] like alternate sources? Try changing them to the country nearest you [03:07] Yay, reinstalling fixed my Gutsy Beta woes, even though updates should have taken care of them. [03:07] I'm seeding the alternative install torrent :) [03:07] Where does BasKet hide the icons that it uses when the program is minimized to the Panel? I had changed it months ago, but when I upgraded to Gutsy, it restored the default icon back to that wretched easter-basket looking icon. [03:07] when i try to upgrade (gksu "update-manager -c"), using the cd rom or server as repo source, i tell it to install, agree to the install, the upgrade gui freezes up before it loads and hangs indeffinately. Is this fixable? is there an alternate command line upgrade wit no gui? [03:07] Dunas, I've just been apt getting tiny stuff all night, I tried to apt-get a 40mb file and cancelled it quickly [03:07] strabes: there's a "choose best mirror" option that works great. [03:07] i have a question for nvidia users... does the livecd actually boot up and say that it is already using restricted nvidia drivers? [03:07] Xanthus: ok. [03:07] mrj: go to System>Admin>Software Sources [03:07] Just as a curious question, is anyone else experiening freezing problems since they upgraded? [03:08] or are the restricted nvidia drivers dl'd after install? [03:08] cdm10, I know I can add mirrors, etc [03:08] experiencing* [03:08] the_darkside_986: no, that seems impossible... the livecd doesn't have the drivers on them. [03:08] darkside---i have 5500 loaded..restricted drivers... [03:08] the_darkside_986: after install [03:08] amr_: I'm not aware of it but i'm worrying about so many "slow boot" messages [03:08] Out of curiosity, is there an easy way to search my entire system for files related to Flash? I think that's the reason Firefox/Swiftweasel keep freezing on me. [03:08] in gutsy, when i quit rhythmbox & it's paused, it plays like .5 seconds of the last song that I was playing. is anyone else experiencing this? [03:08] the_darkside_986, the latter [03:08] i upgraded from feisty to gutsy with hardly a hitch. all fully operational now, and some nice new apps [03:08] Dunas, locate maybe [03:08] Dunas, obviously grep would go through the files but take forever [03:08] Does anyone know what "" is bound to on a standard 104-key PC keyboard? [03:08] darkside-- worked in live cd and after HD install [03:08] the_darkside_986, I don't think the Ubuntu CD includes restricted stuff. You normally install, select the other repositories and then install restricted stuff. [03:08] mrj: if you go there, and choose Other, there's an option to find best server, it works great. [03:08] Xanthus: amr_: do you have an idea why is that happening? [03:08] DIguana: windows key [03:08] cdm10, cool will do [03:08] strabes, no, but is it really a big problem? [03:08] windows key diguana [03:09] ok... so how did your xserver work? just automatically without any issues via "nv" [03:09] the_darkside_986: yup [03:09] xanthus , i might have a hint for you , slow boot is in the last part after the progress bar and from typing passsword to a ready to use desktop [03:09] how does ubuntu compare to debian? [03:09] Evanlec: it's kind of annoying. i'd simply like to know if anyone else is experiencing it or if it's just my computer [03:09] ...ok, and how would I go about uninstalling Flash plugin? :X === w4ett_ is now known as w4ett [03:09] the_darkside_986: if you've been having problems, have you tried booting in safe graphics? [03:09] MajorPoopyPants: It's easier to use for non-geeks. [03:09] strabes, ive not heard of such a thing no [03:09] Dunas: search the following directories: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins and /home/user/.mozilla/plugins [03:09] what up [03:09] Evanlec: can you try it? [03:09] Thanks cdm10 and Shpook. [03:09] MajorPoopyPants, this is not a place to discuss that. Head to #ubuntu-offtopic [03:09] darkside-5500 restriced is not enabled...enabling now.. [03:09] the_darkside_986: i take it you mean me :) i use radeon driver. no probs whatsoever [03:09] cdm10: i've tried failsafe graphics mode but it does the same thing. blank screen in an attempt to use the "nv" OR the "vesa" drivers [03:09] No problem :-) [03:10] !debian > MajorPoopyPants [03:10] Evanlec: pause your music in rhythmbox, then quit rhythmbox [03:10] strabes, i dont use rhythmbox currently, just use nautilus and totem ;p [03:10] ?? im trying to decide whether to migrate from debian or now [03:10] Evanlec: oh, ok [03:10] xanthus , i tried disabling many processes but no speed gain but what maked boot realy fast is disabling compiz [03:10] Dunas: delete the files flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so files when you find them [03:10] hey thanks for the bot links [03:10] anyone about the mouse problem? [03:10] anyone have probs with gutsy booting REALLY slowly on a laptop? [03:10] if i disable compiz - ubuntu boots faster [03:10] I don't think Debian is ot here... [03:10] Actually, it is. [03:10] amr: hmm... compiz [03:10] but the progress bar is still slow [03:10] But, comparing it to Ubuntu is not. [03:10] my gutsy boots a LOT faster now than it did in beta [03:10] IRC rocks [03:10] MajorPoopyPants, if u want to get in on all the fun then go for it ;) [03:10] i am tempted to plug my monitor back into my old ATI X200 just to boot gutsy. i can't wait 'til nouveau pwnz nvidia for all this trouble they're causing me tonight [03:10] Xanathus: any other ideas on the laptop with 6150 getting a corrupted screen? [03:10] fiveiron: in grub, remove the "splash" boot parameter and write down where it's freezing for a long time? [03:11] MajorPoopyPants, I mean we shouldn't discuss "which is better" in here, since that may complicate things. Glad I could help. [03:11] Xanthus: ran apt-get update. went errorfree. same errors with dpkg. [03:11] are there any changes between the release canidate and the final release? [03:11] vocx: he didn't ask which is better, he asked what's different. [03:11] strabes, actuall thats it... i'm not seeing a spash boot... i just now realized that [03:11] Aha, there they are. [03:11] vocx, im not asking which is better - im asking how they compare [03:11] is there a update guide somewhere? [03:11] xanthus , compiz slows the boot process after system is up but before that it's slower than xp or even vista [03:11] :::anyone who cares:: d/ling and installing restricted nvidia drivers.. [03:11] i got a question... once you install gutsy, can you turn off the aiglx stuff and boot a normal x server afterwards that doesn't require any thing fancy? [03:11] Shpook: nothing significant that i know of. There were very few updates in the two days between the RC and the actual release [03:11] amr: xanthus and i also can't see the bootsplash screen before login [03:11] guide / howto [03:11] Ward1983: go to System>Admin>Update Manager and hit Check [03:11] Better is too subjective a term to use in a distro choice [03:11] i just wanted to say thanks [03:11] anyone having priblems with the upgrade from 7.04 7.10? can't seem to find packages on the server? [03:11] fiveiron: then where is it freezing? [03:11] Ward1983: but I'd wait a few days, until the servers speed up. [03:12] cdm10, MajorPoopyPants I understand. But then again, you never know what people ask. So no problems. [03:12] cdm10, and should not all my applications keep working, can i go easily back? [03:12] vocx, no problemo - not trying to cause issues [03:12] strabes, not sure... will try the non-graphical boot and see if maybe i'm just impatient... [03:12] :-) [03:12] MajorPoopyPants, im sure sure there are many differences... [03:12] Hello, I have an nvidia card (7600) and I'm getting random restarts with Desktop effects enabled, which i don't see without desktop effects. I tried to see what would happen if I disabled the proprietary drivers and tried turning on compiz then. When I restarted it didn't seem to set the right resolution (widescreen monitor) so I don't get a screen, the monitor just says 'Out of Range'. How do I either change the resolution in [03:12] command line or more preferably turn the proprietary drivers back on in command line? [03:12] strabes: cool, i wasn't sure if i didn't get an update because of overloaded servers or not [03:12] WorkingOnWise: try sudo apt-get check [03:12] Ward1983: No, you'll have to reinstall. [03:12] cdm10, all of my software? [03:12] is there a problem with archive.ubuntu.com or is it just my connection?

[03:13] Xanthus: ran with no errors. same dpkg errors. [03:13] Ward1983: if stuff breaks during the upgrade, you may be able to fix it by asking here. Otherwise, you may need to reinstall Ubuntu.

[03:17] how can i fix that refresh rate inconsistency? [03:17] Evanlec, That doesnt exit in gutsy. It's Appearance>Fonts now [03:17] anybody chinese here?

[03:18] any news on the repository servers being down? i'm having trouble grabbing any packages [03:18] kahrytan, yea, right i forgot, did u check that? [03:18] Ward1983, if you have mission critical applications, upgrading to a new version fo ubuntu on day 1 is probably not a good idea [03:18] where can i go to see a list of all the upgrades/changes in gusty? [03:18] so does anybody else have an idea on how to fix video corruption when booting livecd? [03:18] i know but its fixed at 50hz. a laptop [03:18] hey guys, I'm installing gutsy and I'm having a small dilemma here - I want to use XFS for the whole system, but it says GRUB is gonna throw an error when installing and that it'll install LILO. Is this good? what can I do in this case? I want XFS or something faster than ext3... [03:18] i'm trying to do a preseed install, anyone know how I can skip cdrom detection? [03:18] i'm looking for MD5SUMs, anyone got a link to them for the DVD isos? [03:18] How do i take a screenshot of just a window? [03:18] mrthereverend: for mine, i could use my touchpad but it didn't work so well with my driver so i had to install another drive that was labled something similar to synaptics [03:18] mrj, how long would you recommend waiting? [03:18] Evanlec, I changed it to more appealing font. Verdana. But now webpage text is tiny. It didnt happen in feisty [03:18] iobelisk, don't know, maybe just /Other/BSD not really important since the mount point can be changed later. [03:18] mumrah: try your closest neighbor countries' repo server [03:18] actually i don't think there is anything wrong with upgrading to gutsy on day 1. i have been using the beta version since the day it came out and ive been very good. [03:18] mrthereverend: xfree86-driver-synaptics made my touchpad work best [03:18] caner, 50 shouldnt be bad what kind of laptop [03:19] darkguy, from what i hear ext3 is just as fast once its properly tuned [03:19] darkguy: what do you use the FS for? [03:19] icemanv9: where can i grab a sources file like that? [03:19] how do i install [03:19] kahrytan, if u change it back are the fonts normal? [03:19] Have just downloaded GG 7.10 for server and plan to install it on a Shuttle PC (now running windows XP/NTFS) that I use to host Slimdevices Slimserver and PLone 3.02. I'd looking for suggestions on the file system to choose and use for these applications when I install 7.10. Does anyone have any experience using Reiser 3 or 4 with Ubuntu? After ZFS, Reiser looks like the slickest file system out there. [03:19] vocx: oh. you mean i can create my own mount points? wow, i did not know that! [03:19] Ward1983, i'm a systems engineer, i dont upgrade mission critical appliances unless they're broken [03:19] well i installed mine in ubuntu using the synaptic package manager [03:19] Evanlec, I tried multiple others. they are still tiny [03:19] k, thanx [03:19] darkguy: i find reiser is actually faster than ext3 and xfs is about the same as ext3 [03:19] thats your decision [03:19] how do i make sure i installed the final version and not a rc1 or something [03:19] iobelisk, of course you an create whatever mount point you wish, it is your system you know. You own it. [03:19] hp pavillon dv6000. can the problem be with nvidia and vsync? somebody talked about that today? [03:19] whonicca: dist-upgrade when done [03:20] has anyone actually used reiser4 yet? [03:20] mrj, well i just have some application i would like to keep using, i don't have a server or anything [03:20] Evanlec: do you know where can I find info to do so? - pwnguin: my main pc actually, but I do a lot of stuff HD-wise, I'm just kinda annoyed that the HD just starts doing a lot of stuff just to load some simple app in Feisty, so I'm using the chance to repartition with something better. [03:20] whonicca, dist-upgrade [03:20] mumrah: just modify your sources.list; for example change 'us' to 'ca' or 'mx' ... something likes that [03:20] help, just installed ubuntu 7.10, but now my apt-get doent work [03:20] is anyone able to point me to a list of MD5SUMs for the DVD images? [03:20] is there anything i can do to get my wireless to kick in? i've tried restarting networking. i've ifup'ed, i've ifdown'ed, i've ifconfiged it up and down. no dice. [03:20] thanks for reminding me ;) you have been great man, i appreciate it. [03:20] mrj, i mean applicationS === GameMX is now known as GameMX_ [03:20] dogmaster, i used xfs,ext3 and reiser [03:20] caner, i'd google that laptop and gibbon flicker or something [03:20] caner, refresh rate sounds fine [03:20] Can someone help me fix the fonts on my gutsy system? I did something to cause text on pages to be small. And it's not firefox related. (http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o200/kahrytan/snapshot1.png) [03:20] rryan, heh, it worked with xinerama, but gnome-terminal died [03:20] also is it me or is everyones nautilus mp3 preview not working [03:20] riotkittie: it has drivers? [03:20] on gusty [03:20] does anyone know why turning on desktop effects would make your system slight unstable, like firefox crashing more and games acting slightly wierd. [03:20] mrj, when I do sudo apt-get install -f, it's not telling me anything about broken packages. it says 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [03:21] darkguy: well you dont want XFS for that. really, look into tuning ext3. reiser takes 30 seconds to mount on large systems, and XFS will lose your data on improper shutdowns [03:21] o.k thank. i will ask it to google [03:21] Ward1983, if youre feeling gutsy, try it, obviously noone can guarantee your applications will work [03:21] are there any MD5SUMs for the DVD isos? [03:21] darkcrab, because desktop effects are not precisely stable. [03:21] no solution for slow boot-up yet ??? i wonder how many of you have the slow boot problem [03:21] Hi, i dont have any sound on my gutsy machine, can someone help me get some sound on this? [03:21] dogmaster, reiser is only fast when you copy files only but system response is not [03:21] juanbond, the last few lines of the command don't say anything about broken? [03:21] whonicca, mine is not working out of the box, this may have been intentional, personally i found that feature irritating [03:21] xsacha > i'm using ndiswrapper and it's been working fine for well over a month. i tried booting into windows, and when i rebooted into ubuntu... it was just dead [03:21] darkguy: i agree with pwnguin [03:21] ok thanks vocx [03:21] nope, nothing about broken [03:21] how can i make my apt-get back to work on last ubuntu ? just reinslled and now isn't working... [03:21] iamnotbrucewayne, of course, they should be there [03:21] anybode in China here? [03:21] amr, using reiser 3 or 4?

And it's not firefox related. (http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o200/kahrytan/snapshot1.png) [03:21] Evanlec, even by installing mpg321 which worked previous times it still doesnt give [03:21] as far as file systems go, i would suggest sticking with ext3. xfs jfs speed variations will not be exhibited on an i386 machine. [03:21] juanbond, run sudo apt-get update [03:21] xsacha: i need to sell tshirts [03:21] how do i change my default soundcard to USB audio [03:21] "I agree with pwnguin" [03:22] dogmaster, all are the same speed and responsivness but reiser is superior in copying files only [03:22] pwnguin: I'd buy one [03:22] heh [03:22] I have a question, is the ext3 mac file system the same as the ext3 linux file system? [03:22] pwnguin, xsacha: okay, I'll install with ext3 then - can you give me a link where I can find info on tuning ext3 since I've never heard about tuning it? [03:22] mrj, updating, but i've already rebuilt my package list too. [03:22] When I run the installer from the cd-rom, It freezes at 65% of the "Loading Kernel", any ... commments? [03:22] whonicca, well, im not sure how to fix it, but i can verify i get no mp3 "hover" previews in gutsy...but im happy with that ;p [03:22] (the amd64) [03:22] okay guys, I tried to upgrade to Gutsy three times and it keeps giving me an error with tzdata. [03:22] mrj, then i'm not gonna update, i would not know wherefore [03:22] thanks vocx, but i'm looking for DVD iso MD5SUMs, not the CDs [03:22] not me =*( [03:22] fatbrain, run the test on the CD [03:22] Can someone please help me fix my webpage fonts? [03:22] i had a partition with feiserfs though and never had any problems, but i know of quite a few people losing data during a power outtage. [03:22] evanlec, i am using reiser 3.6 [03:22] amr, which version of Reiser did you use? 3 or 4? [03:22] mrj: Test on the CD also begins with "loading kernel" which get stuck at 65% [03:22] amr, oh, so sorta inbetween huh? lol [03:22] is there a GNOME tool to screenshot a single window instead of the full screen? [03:23] dogmaster 3 [03:23] Ward1983, i updated fully expecting broken things and having to fix things, just like with any linux update honestly [03:23] iamnotbrucewayne, are you sure there aren't any???

[03:23] evanlec , no the latest version of reiser 3 is 3.6 [03:23] dansku, whats the error [03:23] vocx, i didn't see any yet (i just did a google search and looking at the mailing lists) [03:23] kahrytan: sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts [03:23] mrj: yarr, tried it but gnomebaker wouldn't write the cd unless I put the speed on Auto :S [03:23] what happened to the screen shot button? [03:23] ? [03:23] someone?, i would like some sound, but cant get any...

It works in ekiga but won't work in cheese. Is there a config file somewhere i can edit? I had to change preferences around in ekiga to get it to work. [03:23] mrj: I will try some other cd-burning software see if I can limit speed to 2x [03:23] pwnguin, yes Applications -> Accessories -> Take screenshot [03:24] mrj, sure but what advantages has the update for me to risk anding up with a broken working environment [03:24] amr, and u say the performance is .. comparable? [03:24] IcemanV9, umm.... I did that [03:24] okay I'll take a look at it, thanks Evanlec [03:24] bruce: i'm checking as well, I've been getting the kubuntu torrent all day, and I don't find any MD5's either [03:24] what do you use to install KDE On ubuntu?

[03:26] i like, type "apt-get install vnc" it says it doesnt find vnc [03:26] amr, thanks for the tip.... I'll start with Reiser 4 and then try using ZFS with Solaris later on, or perhaps stay on Ubuntu when ZFS finds it way over to Linux.

(http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o200/kahrytan/snapshot1.png) [03:26] Ubuntu Gutsy today :D [03:26] !repository | dansku [03:26] dansku: please see above [03:26] Ubuntu Gutsy today :D [03:26] Ubuntu Gutsy today :D [03:26] Ubuntu Gutsy today :D [03:26] mrj, then you're lucky :p i only got a old laptop and this desktop [03:26] haru what i am looking for turning off kernel output [03:26] mine boots pretty slowly toxidas [03:26] gspfranc: stop spamming [03:26] Someone help me [03:26] lets spam gspfranc [03:27] gspfranc, do that again and you are out [03:27] darkguy: daniel robbins (founder of gentoo) had a series of articles on tuning filesystems, but i cant seem to find any on ext3 on developer works. [03:27] lol [03:27] What boot options should I have come for Compaq laptop? [03:27] Did anyone else get some ... interesting problems... with the alternative install disc? [03:27] <|neon|> if i had the rc installed do i need to re-install final release or just do an upgrade/dist-upgrade [03:27] evanlec , yes sure ext3 is good but reiser is faster but i read it frgments over time unlike ext3 that is solid and never fragment [03:27] what does medubuntu have it besides the w32 codecs? [03:27] black_13, oh.. my screen just blinks instead of displaying splash [03:27] ok [03:27] ill take a look [03:27] kahrytan, you're gonna ahve to track down what it is that u did to make ur fonts small [03:27] Gutsy is full of bugs [03:27] toxidas: I'm not running compiz. [03:27] darkguy: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-fs7.html is a start... [03:27] anyone know anything about webcams in gnome? [03:27] |neon|, you can update/upgrade. i personally did a fresh install though [03:27] Jonfish: so nobody seems to know why me neither [03:27] my gdm text (the text in the input boxes) is HUGE and out-of-box the window titlebar font is like 72... it takes up like half the screen... [03:27] cafuego: ah, I didn't know Ubuntu would get that instead of the PrintScreen feature, sorry - there isn't any place where I can see what can I say or not in this channel... besides if we're not to suggest it, then the devs should remove that shortcut from the hotkeys configuration window then. [03:27] <|neon|> mrj: thx [03:27] kahrytan, so is everything else [03:27] Evanlec, changing the font to verdana. thats it. [03:27] back from dinner, and printer configuration hell [03:27] haru: someone had the same problem as yours few days ago. i think it's related to xorg.conf ... i couldn't remember what exactly it was. [03:27] seeing as this is the gutsy support channel now.. [03:27] i'm trying to do a preseed install, anyone know how I can skip cdrom detection?. [03:27] mrj, i think i'll go for a clean install on the laptop tomorrow then to try it out, i'm not very dependant of that one [03:27] darkcrab: Possibly a fixed libmp4v2 and/or ffmpeg with mp4/aac support. i've not checked it for gutsy yet. [03:27] I am about to download the liveCD to do a fresh install of Gutsy, but I'm not sure if I want the standard x86 version or the 64bit version. I have a Dell 1420N with a Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo [03:27] amr, but is reiser noticeably faster? or is it only faster for copying and small files? [03:27] mrj, thanx for the info [03:27] has anyone had problems with their rtl8180 wifi card? [03:28] pwnguin: huh :( all I know abou tuning HD stuff is hdparm xD [03:28] Ward1983, np [03:28] kahrytan: if everything is still very small, try increasing the font dpi [03:28] raineer: my laptop has only 80 gigs. what would be an optimum partition size for root? i will be installing a few games and inkscape, scribus and i need to try out a few non linear editors too [03:28] kahrytan, okay so u changed the font to verdana, and now if u change it back it doesnt fix it? [03:28] thank you cafuego [03:28] IcemanV9, might be.. on a ati so :( tho xserver works fine :) only usplash doesnt show [03:28] Pici, where is that [03:28] Pici: what if i think the font's too tall now? [03:28] hey how do you install LAMP on Gutsy? [03:28] iobelisk i would think 10gb should do it [03:28] evanlec , yes only with multiple small files but large files the same or slightly un-noticed faster [03:28] :| [03:28] dasiala, x86. If you want to use the 64-bit version head to the 64-bit subforums in ubuntuforums.org and read. [03:28] when I try to install anything using Synaptic, I get the following error, then nothing, and no packages will install.: dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 1: field name ` E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: [03:28] atlantiz_: you got the 'L' already :) [03:28] dasiala, there's some in here that would argue withme, but i dont see any reason now to NOT USE X64 [03:28] kahrytan: system>preferences>appearance>fonts and theres a button in there, advanced or something [03:28] hi I am trying to use wubi to install a 64bit ISO, is this possible? [03:28] darkguy: Yes, it's odd. The kernel certainly does have CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y set [03:28] atlantiz_, same as any other version [03:28] darkguy: basically, consider the size of the journal, and the writeback policy [03:28] when the package updater updates my kernel it automatically deletes windows from the grub menu [03:28] WorkingOnWise, paste ur /etc/apt/sources.list [03:29] this is annoying! [03:29] WorkingOnWise, pastebin ur /etc/apt/sources.list [03:29] * cyphase is downloading packages at a painfully slow speed [03:29] can't seem to complete the update process, it can't find a couple packages on the server. [03:29] does kubuntu 7.10 come with compiz fusion by default? [03:29] linux_stu: no [03:29] linux_stu: no [03:29] dasiala, sorry i meant to emphasize There's No Reason To Not Use 64bit IMO [03:29] cyphase, so is everyone [03:29] Can you d/l the 7.10 ISO and upgrade a 7.04 machine from it instead of usign the update manager and doing a distro update? [03:29] haru: k. [03:29] cafuego: heh, scary XD I won't do it again, don't worry :p thanks for the advice ^^; [03:29] whats the word - hold off on the gibbon for now or what? [03:29] !compiz-#kubuntu | linux_stu [03:29] linux_stu: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [03:29] when i install software, all installation files will go to the root folder, yes? so would a 10 gig partition be too small for a few games and graphical programs? all data files would be in root of course [03:29] !pastebin [03:29] mrj: i know, just thought i'd share [03:29] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [03:29] dasiala: well. [03:29] pwnguin: alright :D [03:29] thanks cyphase and Pici [03:29] mrj: :) [03:29] lol [03:29] wescotte: if you use alternate CD, you can use the CD as an apt source [03:29] Pici, that doesnt help either [03:29] hey Evanlec [03:29] kahrytan: Sorry :( [03:29] cyphase, do the best server thing in sources [03:29] MasterShrek, hey man [03:29] lovin 7.10? [03:29] PovAddict: ok cool thanks [03:29] cyphase, it pretty much fixes the slow downloads [03:29] evanlec, use resider if you don't care about fragmentation , cpu usage or support and use ext3 if you like compitability and stability [03:30] MasterShrek, oh ya ;p 7.10 x64 :) [03:30] Evanlec, that realtime kernel is worth it [03:30] pici webpage font stays the same [03:30] If I install a 32bit ubuntu can I make it into a 64bit with apt-get later? [03:30] !reiser | Evanlec [03:30] Evanlec: reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [03:30] how much of a performance hit do I take if I choose an encrpyted LVM? [03:30] Mmph, no [03:30] me 2 Evanlec 64...mmm [03:30] <|neon|> does any one knows if the intel ichr9 raid controller works with gutsy (bbeen that is fake raid) [03:30] thanks mrj [03:30] RAdams, 81% [03:30] kahrytan: firefox's fonts are in its own appearance properties [03:30] can UUID be replaced with LABEL in fstab and grub? I can't stand this UUID nonsense anymore [03:30] mrj: good point.. thanx for the reminder [03:30] haru: how is that calculated? [03:30] so, back to my network problem [03:30] Pici, but its not there [03:30] mboso, you can use the regular /dev devices in fstab [03:30] *that [03:30] RAdams, 100*rand(1) [03:30] anyone has used webcam with ubuntu ... i want to enable it but have no idea .. i have a SONY vaio with built in webcam [03:30] everytime i dist-upgrade, my kernel segfaults [03:31] kahrytan: What do you mean its not there? [03:31] iobelisk I think so, but I'm basing that on my feisty install, i don't have the gibbon yet [03:31] Pici, thanks for that clear-up [03:31] haru: :| [03:31] kahrytan: Just go to advanced [03:31] how do you setup the "take a break" thing again? [03:31] Pici, thats not the problem. it's not firefox related. [03:31] dipu: I have found webcams poorly supported in ubuntu [03:31] MasterShrek, is it now? are u talking about the Ubuntu kernel or a vanilla kernel? [03:31] kahrytan: I'm not sure what the question is then [03:31] mboso, read the manual for fstab and mount, maybe you can use LABELs also [03:31] anyone here with a T60 thinkpad who has upgraded to 7.10 ? [03:31] MasterShrek: yeah i know, but ubuntu keeps updating my fstab automatically. I was wondering if using LABEL would satisfy it [03:31] RAdams, i dont think anyone has a figure anywho, shudnt be much tho [03:31] Pici, look at the screenshot [03:31] haru, you could have just said "there are too many variables to accurately answer that question" X_X [03:31] gah! buggy buggy ubuntu-alternative! :( [03:31] kahrytan: link? [03:31] lol [03:31] Evanlec, well im using the vanilla kernel, but the ubuntu one im sure just has lowlatency [03:31] dasiala: For a desktop box, 32bit is just a tad easier to manage; no extra work to get java applets and/or video to work in web browsers. [03:31] iobelisk: I think 10gb will be plenty good, I've been running gutsy tribe releases and there's nothing different from fiesty which would use more room [03:31] why not JFS for those talking about ext3/Reiser [03:31] mrj: much faster :).. thanks again [03:32] jimmygoon, worked fine for me [03:32] is there no way i can get built in webcam working in ubuntu ?? [03:32] haru: ok, thanks. I'll give it a shot. I can always nuke it if it's too slow [03:32] mrj, thanks [03:32] Pici, http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o200/kahrytan/snapshot1.png) [03:32] mrj, when I tried sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx, I got the message: The following packages have unmet dependencies: xorg-driver-fglrx: Depends: libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1) but is not installable... E: Broken packages. [03:32] mboso, doubtful, might as well just leave it, let ubuntu deal with it, it cant bother u THAT much [03:32] gl :) [03:32] how do I refresh .bashrc to make new aliases work? [03:32] dipu: laptop model? [03:32] MasterShrek, well i know feisty had a "lowlatency" version, and i thot gutsy had a newly named "realtime" version similar, but i havent investigated... [03:32] dansku: . .bashrc [03:32] mrj, sooo strange. these are the same problems I had with the beta2... but I torrented the new version today... [03:32] cafuego: its a laptop [03:32] phew. finally. that was weird [03:32] juanbond, did u upgrade? or reinstall? [03:32] KaiForce, I dunno, why not? [03:32] evanlec: yes, realtime = lowlatency [03:32] clean install. [03:32] Pici, the rest of the fonts every else is normal as they supposed to be. [03:32] whats the problem with gutsy people are having? [03:32] evanlec: I'm using it now [03:32] MasterShrek: its the kernel segfaulting after an upgrade that bothers me [03:32] RAdamssony vaio VGN FE780 G [03:33] RAdams, right, but is there a patched gutsy kernel that i can just install from synaptic? [03:33] juanbond, see if libstdc++5 is installed in synaptic, maybe reinstall it [03:33] dasiala: Do not server use; go with 32bit. [03:33] I tried gutsy desktop livecd (i386), after booting, I had no network. I have a router connected via ethernet. I use it from Windows and Mac with static IP, DHCP works as well, so I doubt the problem is the router. Could be the network card on this computer. According to WinXP device list, it's a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC. [03:33] evanlec: yes [03:33] JFS is solid and the developer isn't on trial [03:33] mrj, they were problems that eventually got fixed in updates during the beta->rc but this isn't the first ubuntu release where I've had the alt disc be considerably different than the desktop installation [03:33] hi all, does anyone know of a program like synctoy for windows that I can use on ubuntu? I want to keep my music folder on my windows laptop mirrored on my ubuntu laptop [03:33] dasiala: (desktop applications I meant, not desktop hardware) [03:33] ive been in other rooms and people seem to be having problems with gutsy [03:33] how can i tell if pidentd is installed? [03:33] kahrytan: Whats wrong with that? [03:33] checkers: rsync :) [03:33] Pici, the fonts are tiny in the page [03:33] cafuego, why got 32bit? cuz he on a laptop? [03:33] in every website [03:33] anyone got any comments on gutsy issues? [03:33] KaiForce: but it comes from IBM [03:33] checkers, ditch synctoy in Windows, use dsynchronize [03:33] jk [03:33] PovAddict, I was under the impression you needed an rsync server [03:33] heh [03:34] PovAddict: I have had an issue with RTL8139 not being seen either. Didn't work in fiesty and hasn't worked up to the latest beta of gutsy [03:34] RAdams, coolness, that will be easier than compiling a vanilla kernel ;p [03:34] jimmygoon, i always have problems with the livecd's so i use alts. dunno, i used alts in beta also, no problems [03:34] Whisperkiller, they will be fixed [03:34] kahrytan: The page itself is tiny on my screen. [03:34] evanlec: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/metapackages/linux-rt [03:34] haru: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41151/ [03:34] jimmygoon, are you burning it at a low speed? [03:34] Evanlec: Because some desktop apps and addons "just work" where they wouldn't on 64bit. [03:34] KaiForce, thanks [03:34] Raineer: I tried SabayonLinux too, same problem [03:34] :D [03:34] once again i reboot and my desktop icons are all gone [03:34] guys i am having serious problem with gutsy's installation [03:34] lol [03:34] but it worked on my other computer which has a totally different card [03:34] i have a boot loader question.... if my main drive is sda would boot loader be sd0 or sda? [03:34] Raineer: i had a problem with the rtl8180. not the same, but close [03:34] mrj, yeah. these were two different discs too... too "extreme" that this exact thing was messed up then and now for it to be a coincidence... [03:34] checkers not sure on Linux an equivalent utility but I'm sure it exists [03:34] earlier i installed gutsy and re-booted it said Error: no operating system found [03:34] cafuego, lol, yea i spose ur right, but really the gap is narrowing these days, im running 64-bit and havent had anything not "just work" so far... [03:34] Pici, is the image at full size? [03:35] mrj, neither of the bugs bother me (That much) but its annoying [03:35] Pici, ie shrinked. [03:35] now i am again installing it and it has hanged at the same step scanning mirrors (have been here for 30 minutes or so) [03:35] PovAddict: I found several posts refferring to modules which could be loaded into the kernel, but never had any luck. [03:35] Evanlec: java in firefox. [03:35] KaiForce, oh, dsyncronise is for windows? [03:35] vegancheesesteak: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [03:35] mrj, synaptic is telling me libstdc++6 is install, i don't see a 5 though. [03:35] do any of you use pidentd ? I need to understand how to make it work with Ubuntu [03:35] ain't there any way i can disable this scanning ? [03:35] checkers yes... i prefer it to synctoy [03:35] I suppose I'll get a livecd of both and see which one works better [03:35] Raineer: well, that will block me from ever switching to Linux, so there better be some solution [03:35] jimmygoon, cdburner maybe going out.. mine started burning crap for about a year then one day just completely stopped reading dvds [03:35] cafuego, from personal experience, i believe that is a non-issue as of now [03:35] Pici, this have got to be abug [03:36] since my question is now 3 pages lost in char history given the channel speed, I'll repeat [03:36] kahrytan: I'm just not seeing the issue, sorry. [03:36] Evanlec: it certainly happily crashes on lots of sites here with blackdown jre 1.4 [03:36] no network, Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC not being recognized [03:36] any ideas guys ? [03:36] anyone using 7.10-release right now? [03:36] Now, I had tried to update to 7.10RC a few days ago, and it wouldn't boot X on startup. Will doing a clean install most likely correct this problem? [03:36] Pici, if the image is not shrinked, that is exact font size I see. IT IS REALLY TINY [03:36] PovAddict: My onboard works, but not the realtek card. I know some people have the thing working, I just haven't been able to get it to work with Ubuntu. It might require a more recent kernel, but I'm disappointed I can't find a module which works [03:36] Atalanta: Yah [03:36] kahrytan: What resolution are you running at? [03:36] Atalanta, most ppl are [03:36] PovAddict: does it show in lspci ? [03:36] PovAddict, wired? It should work. [03:36] im wondering if i seems faster to you than the last version [03:36] OMG,slow upgrade [03:36] Im using 7.10 [03:36] kahrytan: The screenshot is like half the width of my screen [03:36] !libdvdcss [03:36] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [03:36] openbysource, go into your software sources and choose select best server, it will test 185 servers and chose the fastest [03:36] no, it will not show up in lspci [03:36] openbysource, are you using alternate or live? [03:36] WorkingOnWise, paste error again? [03:36] RAdams: im way too much a noob...i dont understand [03:36] Atalanta: Not really, no. [03:36] Raineer: hmm so this card isn't onboard? [03:37] cafuego, in gutsy 64 all i did was apt-get install flash and it installed the nspluginwrapper for me...so its using official flash 9... [03:37] atlantiz_: I an on 7.10. [03:37] I ran into a snag, not enough free disk space. [03:37] mrj, I used my desktop to burn one of the discs... and why would it "misread" in only two spots.. in the exact same spots, on two different drives, in two different ISOs :S [03:37] pppoe_dude: live [03:37] Waiting for headers,always... [03:37] what's the diff between xen and dom0 ? [03:37] vocx: yes, wired [03:37] hi people [03:37] How much does this crazed gibbon need? :D [03:37] povaddict: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3510562 [03:37] PovAddict: I dunno much about those, but if it's external have you tried to move it to another PCI slot? I once had a big issue with a sound card and it was because somehow the PCI wasn't recognizing it first or something around it. [03:37] riotkittie: I dunno, I should reboot and check [03:37] MasterShrek, have u had any problems with flash on gutsy 64? cuz i havent so far... [03:37] mrj, I'm thinking its something quirky about my laptop [03:37] Evanlec, too bad nspluginwrapper wont work with jave.... [03:37] Pici, the text size in image is exact size I see in page. Image isnt reduced in size. [03:37] i've installed Ubuntu 7.10 right now [03:37] not at all Evanlec [03:37] jimmygoon, sounds like a hardware/media issue to me [03:37] vegancheesesteak: what are you trying to do with grub? [03:37] openbysource, what mjr said, also if that is still problematic, just disable software sources [03:37] dipu: are you using Vaio's MotionEye webcam? [03:37] MasterShrek, ahh yes, how did u handle the java issue btw? [03:37] PovAddict: Mine is a $40 wired PCI gigabit card, but uses the 8139 chip [03:37] darkguy: I think it's not external, but anyway I'd rather not fiddle with hardware [03:37] is there a seperate repository list that i can put in so i dont have to help hammer the sites haha [03:37] how to install beryl on dapper drake ubuntu??? [03:37] pppoe_dude: but i am not asked about software sources during that install wizard [03:37] kahrytan: I dont know then, sorry. [03:37] Evanlec: nspluginwrapper doesn't count as "just works". [03:37] i'll brb [03:38] I could try another PCI slot, never tried that [03:38] PovAddict: heh, ok it was a suggestion :p [03:38] RAdams: im trying to install gutsy, but its selecting the wrong drive to put the boot loader on [03:38] adminn, you do not, ha [03:38] openbysource, no you have to go to System>Admin>Software sources [03:38] cafuego: does the fast user switching seem as fast as in XP to you?

Why do you need Dapper? [03:41] mrj, so the fglrx driver needs to be updated to use libstdc++6 and not libstdc++5? [03:41] why does ubuntu hang or restart when I try to install linux-restricted-modules-* [03:41] haru: /var/bin/dpkg/available is blank [03:41] darkguy, mmmm....i would atleast boot once first...

[03:42] can anyone help in pvt? here is too many people talking :) [03:42] vocx: I cant upgrade my kernal because the video driver will be gone [03:42] kahrytan: is this happening system wide? [03:42] thanks mrj. [03:42] avt, youll just have to reinstall it [03:42] WorkingOnWise, do sudo aptitude update [03:42] hi .. does skype 1.4 for linux support webcam [03:42] ?? [03:42] haru: I did gksudo gedit /var/bin/dpkg/available and got a blank page. [03:42] avt: does fglrx work? if so, then you might have a good chance to get compiz up and running ( i don't know how to install it on dapper) [03:42] dipu: that depends on the webcam [03:42] should i be able to notice a speed difference going from 64 to 32 but? [03:42] hey is there a way to install just a svn client not the entire subversion package [03:42] please, anyone? [03:42] RAdams, just firefox. and I check it's preferences.

I'm looking to see how gutsy is coming along [03:43] WorkingOnWise, do a sudo aptitude update and then check the available file again [03:43] why can't I get packages from synaptic [03:43] really cause it seems slower [03:43] it says my $shell is not set to bash. I thought that was the default? [03:43] the servers are sooo slow since 7.10 came out :P [03:43] RAdams, I set firefox to size 10. what I see isnt size 10. [03:43] how to test fglrx [03:43] i got a url ....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289836 [03:43] openbysource, you should be able to disable that from the installer [03:43] imbecile: its been released.

Tried everything! Worked fine with Feisty!

[03:44] I have a not-so-unique install scenario that I was hoping someone could help me with [03:44] openbysource, that might work, then afterwords change it back to 700 [03:44] or at least point me in the right direction [03:44] *afterwards [03:44] kahrytan: not for firefox it isn't [03:44] H2600, just ask [03:44] uhm [03:44] I found a bug in gutsy that will allow root compromising [03:44] RAdams, Im not changing the default size.

[03:47] Atalanta, Pici - everytime you use ops w/ ! a lot of us get pinged... [03:47] Atalanta: It pings every single one of us to tell us that something is happening here [03:47] does 7.10 still need fuse to support mac hfs+ [03:47] Atalanta: don't do that again [03:47] Pici: well in any case, im trying to ask the ops if its okay to create #ubuntu-gutsy for 7.10 support to lighten the load off this channel for a few days [03:47] unagi: insert a dvd and try to play it [03:47] pppoe_dude: now i have again re-booted into live [03:47] have a look or the @nest to nicks in the names list [03:47] dzer0, not really, you could leave your ntfs partition in tact and install ubuntu to the free space on the drive, then mount the ntfs from inside linux and copy it over, but either way, you still have to copy it to linux eventually [03:47] unagi sudo apt-get install ... [03:47] for some reason i get a partition failed [03:47] are there any advantages to upgrading using an alternate cd? [03:47] Seamus, yeah. I'm figured.

[03:47] !svc [03:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about svc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:47] there are bugs with the trackpad driver ("kernel: [664.668000] psmouse.c: TouchPad at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 4") - syslog; the symptom is the mouse stops responding then moves irraticely as I try to click something, it usually breaks when I am doing several tasks at the same time and I try to click something.

[03:47] Atalanta: non-official channels need two ##, e.g. ##ubuntu-gutsy [03:47] what about me [03:47] Atalanta: That won't happen, we've discussed splitting and the consensus after much deliberation was to not do it. [03:48] arun__: I use the alternate CD when I do fresh installations in order to have more control when partitioning [03:48] Atalanta, Madpilot Pici maybe you should talk in #ubuntu-ops [03:48] ok [03:48] when does gutsy get its backports? [03:48] ramvi: considering it [03:48] openbysource, you will need the home directory if you are booting into the system, but if you are installing a fresh install, setting chmod 000 to your user directory, and installing into a different home directory should do OK [03:48] Sir_Sid: huh? [03:48] is service pack 2 out yet [03:48] Pici, dont u think its annoyingly crowded in here tho? [03:48] neone tell me how to set the shell to bash? [03:48] openbysource, that's if you want to avoid the migration assistant. [03:48] Kaiforce, for what? [03:48] FGLRX installed now what do I do??? [03:48] Sir_Sid, when the next Ubuntu comes out. [03:48] ruz322: I didn't mean I never wanted to copy it over, just never wanted to deal with using a separate drive for backup... so can I just install ubuntu on my free space, copy files over, then delete the ntfs partition and resize the ubuntu one to be bigger? [03:48] is the apt-get slow because the number of people using it right now? [03:48] Evanlec: Its not tha tbad. [03:48] ruz its just a joke. [03:48] dansku: yes [03:48] dansku: yesw [03:48] dansku, depends on your mirror [03:48] pppoe_dude: very tricky and weird way again. isnt' there any menu to do the same ? [03:48] is there any advantage to upgrading using a cd, than upgrading over network? [03:49] avt: fglrxinfo works? glxinfo |grep direct ... if yes, then you're ready to compile compiz on dapper ( i don't have info on compiz howto for dapper) [03:49] arun__: faster [03:49] tonyyarusso, When the backport repos [03:49] Pici, i spose, hard to follow conversations tho, maybe its just my setup [03:49] i was getting 100bytes per sec,just changed a mirror and was bursting 1000kb/s [03:49] ah, ok :) good to know :) [03:49] Pici: I dissagree, way too many ppl [03:49] Sir_Sid: when there's something to put in them [03:49] openbysource, i thought that that specific step in the installer asked to to take that option or refuse it [03:49] rryan, thanks a lot everything worked and gnome terminal has a bug jsut had to patch the nvidia driver a little for now everything seems to work peachy except compiz [03:49] arun__: net servers are v. busy now so cd will prolly be quicker [03:49] i'm new to ubuntu, can i install to a free space on my second hard drive without destroying what i already have saved on it? [03:49] hehe alright [03:49] arun__: updates over the network could be more ... up-to-date [03:49] dzer0, yes, you can do that, you will need to drop your ntfs parititon size first though, then just install ubuntu and copy what you want over, you will need to install the package "ntfs-config" to get access to it from ubuntu, then you can fix your hdd however you want [03:49] H2600: yes [03:49] however, i am still running a daily build of gutsy, so perhaps that changed in the release, openbysource [03:49] alright..

[03:49] !dualboot [03:49] Hi - I am installing gutsy on an old server machine that has an adapter scsi card with 1 scsi disk attached, and a cdrom drive. It seems that ata_piix is unhappy with the cdrom drive because the installation begins but suddenly fails as the installer is unable to read from the drive. When I check the dmesg, I see that gutsy is scrolling messages about ata being slow to respond and eventually it gives up (and my cdrom drive stops worki [03:49] ng) -- is there a workaround for this (the old piix driver worked fine, but that was deprecated in gutsy). [03:49] arang2: what do you like most about it [03:50] * arang2 wishes they released the patch for gnome 2.20 to 2.20.1 [03:50] SO i think the gutsy update went ok, but i am having trouble getting the nvidia driver to work === thomas_ is now known as thill2708 [03:50] arun__: for some reason it's snappier [03:50] pppoe_dude: oh well. what if i give a separate /home to gutsy. right now i am giving only 2 partitions. / and swap [03:50] H2600: it will ask you during the install and give you the choice to resize the partition. [03:50] arun__: might be just the kernel i dunno [03:50] ruz322: I actually just realized that I've got a network share that would be much easier... can I get into the ntfs in ubuntu to copy the files over? [03:50] arun__: my game under wine that didnt run with feisty run in gutsy [03:50] i get this error message while tyring to partition my drive: The ext3 file system creation in partition #3 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed. [03:50] openbysource, generally it is a better idea to make a separate home / root partitions [03:50] i am still unable to run X server from the live CD in gutsy. but in feisty it all works just fine. [03:50] is there any reason why this should happen? all drives are unmounted [03:50] *separate home and root partitions, openbysource [03:50] I installed the tifm module onto gutsy, but when I insert a sony memory stick into my card reader, nothing happens. Dmesg outputs that a memory stick has been put in the socket, but... nothing happens. Any ideas? [03:50] haru: still blank [03:50] openbysource, separate /home is a must, very useful to backup stuff without losing your files [03:50] tonyyarusso: thanks, i couldn't find that on my own [03:50] pppoe_dude: yeah i am also thinking now to give a separate /home to gutsy [03:51] I have installed msttcorefonts on gutsy, however the fonts do not appear to be available in openoffice, this used to work in feisty, does anyone know if there is any additional steps to make msttcorefonts work correctly on gutsy now? [03:51] dzer0, what do you mean? if you install ubuntu to unpartitioned space on your hard drive along with windows, then yes, you can pull stuff from the ntfs partition to the linux partition [03:51] openbysource, no need, just give it another directory in your /home partition [03:51] thedarksize: i had similar issues....replaced by dvd drive and was able to run the live cd under gutsy [03:51] arang2 What game? [03:51] XsteelWolf: what source are you using? [03:51] if i have a separate /home partition, will any files get affected if i upgrade? [03:51] GatGutsy: Restart X [03:51] it worked heres the output: http://www.pastebin.org/5267 ******** [03:51] openbysource, are you planning on running two ubuntus at the same time? [03:51] GarryFre: Silkroad Online 1.129 [03:51] pppoe_dude: no. :) [03:51] then delete the file and try updating from synaptic again.. do a reload repositories before u install anything [03:51] ruz322: nevermind, I'm going to use a network drive for backup... sorry to waste your time but thanks for the help :) [03:51] upgrading borked my machine! [03:51] dzer0, lol no problem [03:51] neone tell me how to set the shell to bash? [03:51] Flats: What is it set to now? [03:51] arang2 thanks. [03:52] hey guys.... how can i get it so that i can drag and drop files into an existing NTFS partition????... it tells me i dont have permission [03:52] GarryFre: de nada :) [03:52] can i log in as root somehow? [03:52] Todd [03:52] !sudo > ToddEDM (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [03:52] dunno but when compiling I keep getting Warning shell not set to bash [03:52] i just installed gutsy over a formattted / with the alternate cd, now i get an error code 15 when i try to boot the new kernel in grub, the old 7.04 kernel works fine, i heard that grub/fstab now require UUID instead of the old /dev notation, is this true? [03:52] !ntfs-3g > ToddEDM [03:52] DShepherd: at least your machine will upgrade, my update manager keeps hanging [03:52] ToddEDM, have you installed ntfs-config? [03:52] anyone know how to fix apt after an error due to loosing internet half way through getting a package [03:52] Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. [03:52] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [03:52] is only available from another source [03:52] E: Package libdvdcss2 has no installation candidate [03:52] ToddEDM: better to sudo su [03:52] Flats: its possible that its referring to the fact that /bin/sh is symlinked to dash, not bash. [03:52] bjron, well.. clean install for me. err [03:52] avt: yep. then your set to compile compiz ... hopefully, you find something from ubuntuforums - compiz dapper [03:52] HOW DO I UPDATE USING BOOT CD? [03:52] !caps | mr_wang [03:52] mr_wang: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [03:53] what does that mean [03:53] if i do sudo in the command line, will i be root in the UI? [03:53] •Pici• does it make a difference? [03:53] for successfull nvidia users... how do you successfully use the puny "nv" driver to run a graphical desktop installation? what is the secret trick here? [03:53] DShepherd: hmm, yea well that's a little more broken than you'd like eh :P [03:53] is there any linux software that will sound an alert upon a severe weather warning? [03:53] ToddEDM: no [03:53] icemanv9: thankyou :D [03:53] Hi === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [03:53] can anyone tell a fast source-list? [03:53] ToddEDM, the easiest way to get root in the UI is to enable root login, and then login as root [03:53] when i try to install libdvdcss2 i get that error [03:53] whoa, the plugin install for firefox sucks if apt is in use... [03:53] Flats: Yes, it can cause some issues with scripts [03:53] is it possible to encryt the hd after installing with out losing data? [03:53] ok ruz [03:53] Is it easy to go from dapper to feisty? [03:53] ToddEDM: you can always do 'sudo nautilus' to get a root file browser - but be careful [03:53] hey all [03:53] dansku: alternate install cd torrent from http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ === _3v1n0_ is now known as Trevinho [03:53] the_darkside_986, it wont run compiz but it should boot to X no problem... [03:53] how do i update using the CD? [03:54] ToddEDM, sudo passwd root, that will let you set a password for the root account and will alow you to login as root [03:54] zhanx: you can encrypted a directory with encfs [03:54] how long should the install get stuck on "scanning the mirror"? [03:54] anyone knows and tested a download manager other than d4x? [03:54] ToddEDM: better to use sudo, though [03:54] in fact it (doesn't freeze) but is un-manipulatable [03:54] Has anyone else been able to install fglrx without any problems? [03:54] Stubbers, read the topic. [03:54] dryrot thinking the the whole lvm [03:54] 9 people are going to activate the bot and yell at you about roo any second now [03:54] !dash | Flats [03:54] Flats: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash » [03:54] Davy_Jones: I like downthemall for firefox [03:54] how do you install libdvdcss2? [03:54] @Evanlec: it is not even running X server properly. Just a blank black screen no matter what I try to do... [03:54] I dont have any sound, can someone help me? [03:54] juanbond: Me. Just ticked the box [03:54] is there any good weather software for ubuntu? its kindof important [03:54] the update severs are too slow how do i update using the CD????? [03:54] dansku: it doesn't seem to continue from where it leaves [03:54] ramvi, ticked the box? [03:54] haha yea, maybe not the safest way, but thats the easiest way to get a UI as root [03:54] juanbond: had to do a repo update first though [03:54] mr_wang: grab the alternative cd to update [03:54] mr_wang: they're being hammered today, as it's the first day of the release [03:55] juanbond: in system > restriced drivers [03:55] so is the upgrade to gibbon from fiesty large and did it take a long time for the dsl users out there? [03:55] i have the full cd... [03:55] the_darkside_986, hmm, are u seeing a splash screen or no? [03:55] mr_wang: i used the kernel.org mirror and it updated pretty quickly [03:55] what does it mean when X results in a black screen but doesn't quit and tell me the error message? [03:55] GarryFre, its not too bad, but it will take a while right now because there are a lot of people upgrading... [03:55] ramvi, I've been trying to do that. When I do I got a fix broken packages first. [03:55] anyone? [03:55] IT'S ALIVE [03:55] GarryFre, of course, read the topic [03:55] I HAVE NETWORK [03:55] thx!

[03:55] hello all [03:55] @Evanlec but the progrss bar and boot menu works [03:55] someone help me fix my gutsy, when it loads instead of that progress bar thingy, my screen blinks till it comes to GDM [03:56] the_darkside_986, it doesnt kick you back to a tty? [03:56] ramvi, trying to install through command i found out it need libstdc++5 and libstdc++6 was installed with gutsy. [03:56] @Evanlec nope [03:56] i have the full CD... how do i update my os thats installed on the drive without erasing everything. [03:56] ramvi, clean install of gutsy [03:56] PvAdct_ubuntu: now order yourself a decent NIC and trash that realtek junk ;P [03:56] OK lets go this route, has neone tried to install the ieee80211-1.2.18 program for the Intel pro wireless adapter? [03:56] Okay, there we go. [03:56] the_darkside_986, okay well i asked because i had a 'no splash screen boot freeze' problem [03:56] Evanlec, i see xserver but i dont see my splash, any ideas [03:56] mr_wang: do you have the live cd or the alternative cd ? [03:56] !upgrade > mr_wang [03:56] live cd [03:56] PvAdct_ubuntu: I should first install a decent OS (the one Im using now) and trash that windows junk [03:56] I'm trying to get my wireless adapter to connect to my access point, can anyone help? [03:56] btw [03:56] I found it!!!! :D http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131253 [03:57] you know you can change your boot options to remove "quiet splash" if having trouble with the progress bar and splash screen [03:57] how do I get grub to install the bootloader on a /dev/md partition in the gutsy alternate install cd? [03:57] when somebody sends a message and pidgin scrolls the list, the scrolling is like WAY more smooth than from windows [03:57] mr_wang: I'm pretty sure that you need the gutsy alternative cd to upgrade an already existing installation of feisty [03:57] PvAdct_ubuntu: good point - get to it [03:57] wonder why that is [03:57] haru, i just disabled splash screen, for some reason x64 has a number of people including me not even able to boot from the liveCD because the splash screen hangs [03:57] dryrot: correct [03:57] the_darkside_986, yes that is what i did.. [03:57] Evanlec, mines x32 [03:57] upgrade failed, on the calculate packags and closed, using the alt cd [03:57] juanbond: and you've got broken dependencies? Start up synaptic and go to Fix Broken at the top under, I think it is view or something [03:57] plik: I have a free partition (NTFS but empty) so I dont have to deal with repartitioning mess [03:57] anyone know how to lock icons on desktop? [03:57] haru, yea i dont think x32 users are affected... [03:57] I have installed msttcorefonts on gutsy, however the fonts do not appear to be available in openoffice, this used to work in feisty, does anyone know if there is any additional steps to make msttcorefonts work correctly on gutsy now?

[03:58] FatGutsy: there should not be. [03:58] WorkingOnWise, any better? [03:58] I guess getting file from repo is slow as hell_ [03:58] damn [03:58] keyboard map is wrong [03:58] brb [03:58] i don't know... i've got a fully functional progress bar and splash but an X-server that refuses to admit failure. i can switch to other tty's but X doesn't die automatically [03:58] no matter what I do /grub/device.map points (hd0) and (hd1) to /dev/sda /dev/sdb respectively. those are the disks of the raid, but they're in stripe mode they're not independant. [03:58] anyone know how to lock icons on desktop? [03:58] is updating the distrbution via the Update Manager broken?

[03:59] kendall_, read the topic [03:59] where can i find cool programs and stuff that work on tray? [03:59] first, the update manager was working, then it crashed and the system broke so i had to install it from a boot disk [03:59] hey, I think I dont have sound either [03:59] Where would i go to ask about compiz+ubuntu ? [03:59] anyone know where the nvidia-glx driver lives? (what repo) [03:59] t3318: chmod chould do it. [03:59] logreeval, goto system -> preferences -> sound and see if it has ur soundcard [03:59] the_darkside_986, why dont u just reinstall and use the nv driver this time [03:59] <|neon|> i hate to do a fresh installed since my sys is running great, i just did an apt-get update and upgrade/dist-upgrade but no packages needed to be updated i been doing updates everydayy does that means my sys is uptodate or should i do a fresh install [03:59] hello everybody =) [03:59] hey all i did fdisk /mbr and set my system back to windows but left my windows/linux partition on the drive. How can I reinstall the boot loader for linux? [03:59] hi [03:59] oh and i use to display my feisty on a monitor with a dvi and i cant get that working on gutsy...plus when i tried it just messed up my resolution for my normal monitor !

[04:00] the_darkside_986, if it really is bad, and you are not the only one they should fix it. I remember Feisty got a kernel upgrade almost immediately. [04:00] <|neon|> bastid_raZor: thx [04:00] guys, what do you think of gutsy ? [04:00] @Evanlec: I cannot even get to the point where I install or do a clean install because X server will never work on the liveCD. I'm on gutsy now but i am afraid to do a dist-upgrade [04:00] i'd like to know if there something like "live ubuntu server stats", just to know how many people downloaded ubuntu today =)=)=) [04:00] |neon|: what are you trying to do? it's not going to 'upgrade you to gutsy' unless you replace every instance of 'feisty' with 'gutsy' in /etc/apt/sources.list [04:00] oh wait [04:00] anyone know where the nvidia-glx driver lives? (what repo) [04:00] CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO INSTALL LIBDVDCSS2 [04:00] I do have sound :P [04:00] vista vs beryl hahaha video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC5uEe5OzNQ [04:00] *i'm on feisty i mean [04:00] !grub > h08817 [04:00] where do i go to ask about Desktop Effects (compiz) ?

[04:00] mr_wang: I dont think so [04:00] ok now my install is hung up on scanning the update mirror. im guessing this is because of the server load....will it time out and continue or sit there forever? [04:00] logreeval, test sound throws error? [04:01] PvAdct_ubuntu, thx [04:01] anybody here sticking to feisty for a bit ? [04:01] haru: yes [04:01] mr_wang: no, you need the 'alternative' cd, not the live cd [04:01] AVARIEL, I [04:01] <|neon|> dryrot: i had gutsy beta installed a while ago none reference to another i.e feisty [04:01] at the end of that movie it shows the winders 98 expo bsod lol [04:01] haru - audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Could not open resource for writing.

[04:01] so just to recap....how does everyone like gutsy so far? [04:01] why are you guys for waiting it out a bit [04:01] i am stuck using feisty until gutsy either drops all this compiz out-of-the-box or maybe my CD is just burnt wrong and somehow passed the test [04:01] ? [04:01] dryrot: s/feisty/gutsy/g easy [04:01] mr_wang: do you have a broadband connection? grab a torrent of the alternative cd [04:01] Alright, who's stealing all the bandwdith :P [04:01] haru its on board sound card [04:01] the_darkside_986, forget dist-upgrade, will take forever right now, just grab the alternate cd [04:01] has anyone upgraded from feisty to gutsy without any problems? both my desktop and laptop borked on upgrade [04:02] sx66xfce, too much laughing from you. Please stop and contribute or be quiet. [04:02] feisty runs great on my desktop and laptop so no hurry to upgrade [04:02] torrent is not working. [04:02] FatGutsy: I just installed them, and they work [04:02] logreeval, which mobo [04:02] are the torrents running smooth on gutsy?

[04:02] yeah i love feisty [04:02] yeah feisty was awesome ! and i installed gutsy and it went to hell [04:02] haru: asus m2n-3 [04:02] like straight to hell [04:02] feisty is awesome. but hardy heron will be great if they get the new xorg release in there. [04:02] can anyone suggest a free cd burn software for windows? My nero won let me go lower than 8X and my live cd's are borqued :( [04:02] tritium, ok thanks mate [04:02] AVARIEL: what went wrong? [04:02] Mmph: I can! [04:02] Mmph: hold on, searching [04:02] :) [04:03] i tried installing the gutsy beta like 10 days before release and couldnt get it to install [04:03] starting firefox from livecd is slow [04:03] the updater crashed so i installed it manually with a cd (after getting a server by luck!) [04:03] seems like gutsy launch is going a lot rougher than feisty did [04:03] mmph isoburner [04:03] it all seeme to work alright [04:03] i dont understand why i cannot install libdvdcss2 [04:03] can someone explain it to me? [04:03] Cool thanks m1r :D [04:03] E: Package libdvdcss2 has no installation candidate [04:03] but my external monitor display which was perfect in feisty didnt work at all [04:03] Does the upgrade hang at "Fetching file 21 of 30" during [Preparing the upgrade] for anyone else? :) [04:03] Mmph: I have an iso burner that fits 300KB [04:03] and when i tweaked at the resolution [04:03] <|neon|> great everything is working fine for me (knock on wood ) even compiz is beautiful [04:03] unagi: software patents i guess. i can play any dvd i want with 'vlc' [04:03] can i use uuid's in an mdadm.conf file? [04:03] it permanently ruined it for my laptop too ! [04:03] Mmph: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/downloads/burncdcc.zip [04:03] Mmph: cdburnerxp.se [04:03] I dont recommend anyone doing a dist-upgrade at this point.... [04:03] gidim: possibly the servers being hammered? [04:04] !find libdvdcss2 | unagi [04:04] what do you mean software patents [04:04] hey, I'm installing gutsy over where feisty used to be... [04:04] unagi, afaik libdvdcss2 is kinda "illegal" or something like that [04:04] |neon|, you upgraded? [04:04] i am afraid to even get the alternate-cd. there is probably no functional X server on it either... and i can't configure my wireless from commandline in order to get nvidia-glx [04:04] unagi: Package/file libdvdcss2 does not exist in gutsy [04:04] Using the appearance capplet, I try to load the compiz widgets. It loads, but the window manager doesn't appear to render the window borders. How can I debug? [04:04] why not just torrent the alternate CD, burn it, and upgrade with that [04:04] but I installed xp and vista afterwards, so I'm using vista's MBR [04:04] wow cool thanks guys! [04:04] Hi all... I'm having a little trouble upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10: I'm using local mirrors, so it shouldn't be a speed issue, but the Upgrade Manager freezes after the first step every time, and I can see that it's updated my sources.list [04:04] MUCH faster, i got a 2Mbps connection on the CD [04:04] will installing the boot loader now change it to grub as the main boot loader, or still use vista's mbr? [04:04] unagi: software patents are these things that you can read about somewhere else, i don't want to give someone the opportuniry to start ranting [04:04] haru: any luck ? [04:04] <|neon|> DShepherd: i installed the beta a while back and been doing updates ever since [04:04] !dvd | unagi [04:04] Will scanning the mirror time out? [04:04] unagi: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [04:04] so no one in here has libdvdcss2 installed [04:04] unagi: read your help system!!! [04:04] anyone here have a GOOD experience with gutsy ??>?? [04:04] logreeval, trying [04:04] |neon|, ok.. [04:04] is the severs still getting bombed? [04:04] does anybody have an idea why the partition editor detects my blank 80 gig hard drive as only 74.5 [04:04] im not asking what software patents are [04:04] 7.10 installer says that it is the pre release of the ubuntu not the final version, is it normal? [04:04] haru: i appreciate your help [04:04] AVARIEL: im running it right now. do you have a specific problem? [04:04] endx: grub will sort of replace vistas, but will load the vista boot loader if you pick the windows option on boot [04:04] im asking what that has to do with the error im getting installing libdvdcss2 [04:05] hm [04:05] AVARIEL, first of all can u change your nickname so its not all caps please? [04:05] unagi: read the URL I had ubotu send you [04:05] more specifically, can i use uuid's for devices in an mdadm.conf file? [04:05] i have [04:05] right now I have a triple boot system with xp, ubuntu and xp [04:05] going back to my INITIAL question [04:05] iobelisk its reporting it accurately, your drive mfg counted a gb as 1000mb [04:05] trying to install gutsy where feisty used to be [04:05] endx: two xps? [04:05] unagi: and open up your help system, and read on how to install livdvdcss there [04:05] E: Package libdvdcss2 has no installation candidate === AVARIEL is now known as Avariel [04:05] er vista rather [04:05] Question from a newb: If I messed up my graphics driver, how do I start Gnome working around it? [04:05] i.e. VGA mode [04:05] I just installed gusty and everything was working well but now compiz seems to be lagging [04:05] unagi: there's probably a unsupported ubuntu software suppository somewhere with what you need to start reading dvds, there are various legal reasons they will not include it in the official dist. [04:05] like when I minamize it takes forever [04:05] endx: you are trying to have a feisty, xp, gutsy triboot? [04:05] even when I ajust the time to the lowest setting [04:05] sorry [04:05] so I'm just wondering if I should check install boot loader on advanced right now [04:05] im on a live cd [04:06] dryrot: heh :) [04:06] because my gutsy crashed [04:06] no, I'm trying to install gutsy over where feisty used to be [04:06] !enter > ubuntu [04:06] Journeyman: what's your gfx card? also, compiz questions better go on #compiz-fusion, this channel is crowded enough [04:06] endx: Why not perform an upgrade? [04:06] oh, really? i wonder why they do that. anyway, so it is not a case of the partition editor not recognizng part of my drive? [04:06] hm [04:06] endx, gosh why would u want vista AND xp ? lol [04:06] when does development for hardy begin? [04:06] PvAdct_ubuntu, it has nothing to do with my video card, it was working fine [04:06] could never get my resolution back after i tried modifying it to suit my external display (which worked with feisty) [04:06] dryrot: not quite, read ubotu's response [04:06] compatible purposs [04:06] endx: do you have a fast connection? if so, torrent the alternate CD, burn it, and stick it in. It will start upgrading [04:06] I figure I'd work with a clean system rather than before [04:06] bah! I wish they hadn't disabled the little "terminal" triangle in the upgrader, at least I can see what it's trying to do when it hangs :P [04:07] * gidim does not want Vista, EVER; keeps XP until figuring out WINE enough to run EverQuest, GuildWars, Diablo 2, Starcraft, etc etc etc. [04:07] hm [04:07] iobelisk unlikely no. they do it so they can sell you an 80gb drive even though its really 75 [04:07] if I want KDE is it a better idea to use kubuntu? [04:07] I have an iso of the alternate cd [04:07] endx: if you wish to replace feisty, just wipe the feisty partition and install, pretty sure it wont mess up yer triboot. [04:07] I'm running on the livecd right now actually [04:07] !xconfig > ubuntu [04:07] Does anyone know wat is the kernel version of the release of gutsy yesterday? [04:07] people, I have an ATI x1300 and I can't use compiz on the Ubuntu 7.10... Does anyone could help me? [04:07] so no one has an answer to what E: Package libdvdcss2 has no installation candidate means? [04:07] endx: note that im PRETTY sure, but not positive [04:07] yea that's what I'm trying to do and thinking [04:07] just wondering if I should check boot loader for advanced in the install session window [04:07] !xconfig > RobotBanana [04:07] unagi: quit repeating and read instructions that I've given you [04:07] unagi, there is simply no package by that name. Stop asking. [04:07] endx: yer computer literate i take it? [04:07] unagi: I think a bunch of people have gotten the bot to tell you by now, haven't they ? [04:07] gidim, amazingly those are all very compatible games with Wine... [04:07] for the most part [04:07] endx: why not wing it, could be fun [04:07] Pseudoryx, 2.6.22-14 [04:07] :D [04:07] bah! do I have to *UNPLUG* my network cable in order to get the updater to just use the cd? I already disabled all the other sources (i think!) [04:07] I could [04:07] PvAdct_ubuntu, of course, since it only contains KDE apps, [04:08] there is no package by that name? [04:08] what was the default system font for feisty? i didnt like gutsys fonts [04:08] wtf does that mean [04:08] well even with 1000 mb to a gig, 80000 mb should come upto 78 gigs [04:08] honestly, if you know what yer doin, id go for it [04:08] i dont get it [04:08] are you trying to tell me it doesnt exist? [04:08] unless you have really sensitive data that you really cant lose [04:08] I always get flack from MS fanbois for my genuine mistrust of Vista and my unwillingness to buy it when I have a working XP Home and Ubuntu to satisfy me. :) [04:08] mrj, you still around ??? [04:08] bjron: i had a problem like that, i backed up my sources.list file, and removed all the non cd lines, then apt-get update [04:08] authentication failed on gutsy upgrade [04:08] !find libdvdcss2 | unagi [04:08] caner, Bitsream Vera Sans [04:08] unagi: you're not reading instructions. [04:08] unagi: Package/file libdvdcss2 does not exist in gutsy [04:08] /msg ubotu mirrors [04:08] i dont know guys i think im gonna hit feisty for a while...im not ready for gutsy [04:08] 95% sure you wont lose your XP or vista access-worst case you could probably edit grub [04:08] Hi all... I'm having a little trouble upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10: I'm using local mirrors, so it shouldn't be a speed issue, but the Upgrade Manager freezes after we "fetch files". After I kill the process I can see that the sources.list file has been updated, but nothing else. Any ideas? [04:08] unagi: are you unable to read private messages on irc ? [04:08] gidim, but you'd be right [04:08] ah alright [04:08] haru: finding anything? [04:08] k0001: I mean as opposed to installing ubuntu and apt-getting all KDE [04:09] I know, it's sad that they can't accept it. [04:09] thanks. do you agree with me that the default fonts for gutsy are ugly? [04:09] sudo !! [04:09] what's your email address? i'm going to email you shirtless photos of richard stallman [04:09] so I'll work with grub in worst-case scenario? I could live with that [04:09] dryrot: he needs to follow the proper procedures, which he's been give, but apparently won't read [04:09] dryrot: are you registered with nickserv? [04:09] whoops sorry [04:09] logreeval, theres some post on the forum [04:09] People, I have an ATI x1300 and I can't use compiz on the Ubuntu 7.10... Does anyone could help me? PM please [04:09] I just don't want to have to reedit all the boot sectors [04:09] endx: as far as im aware, grub just sort of shoves the vista boot loader one step beneath it...and vista does the same with XP [04:09] so each boot loader is still sort of there [04:09] Now, when Vienna comes out, it might be worth a look. All the rumors I hear make it sound like the *nix of Windows. [04:09] PvAdct_ubuntu: yes [04:09] haru: ok, ill take a look... [04:09] yea the process of which I installed my triple boot was ubuntu-> xp-> vista [04:09] so that's what I'm working with right now [04:09] * gidim pokes Update Manager. [04:10] I know I could probably run all 3 with more than one window if I used grub [04:10] is every single repo messed up right now? [04:10] I want turn off some services in the boot up process, does anyone remember wat is the command to do? I remember there was a ncurse GUI allow you to do so [04:10] how do you install beryl? [04:10] gidim: vista sounded absoultely awesome when it was announced. I will never be taken in again. If they want to get me excited, show me a alpha or beta that doesnt suck [04:10] how do I modifiy text files on the gutsy alternate install setup? when I alt-f2 and change to /target to modify a file I can't seem to find a text editor [04:10] You go on, modify those software channels. [04:10] caner, i don't know, i'm using gutsy since august, i dont remember which were the default ... anyways i use Liberation Sans as my default font [04:10] unagi: have you gone to System -> Help and Support yet, to read how it's done? [04:10] either way i am losing atleast 3 or 6 gigabytes [04:10] * gidim nodnods. [04:10] but the process of which I handled it made me able to run through those 3 systems with 1 screen selection [04:10] using closed source nvidia: my mouse-cursor is black&white, instead of properly alpha-blended/anti-aliased, how can I fix that? [04:10] so can someone help me understand why, unlike most people, my wireless works out of the box but my wired DOESN'T in gutsy? [04:10] doofy`: i found the mirror on kernel.org to be really fast, they have a good net connection [04:10] haru: i am going to reboot to see if the sound is turned on in the BIOS...how long are you going to be here? [04:10] its a real turn of events. [04:10] endx: yes, but thats trickery [04:10] i tried to download the new one and it froze on firefox. [04:10] dryrot, ill give it a shot. thank you [04:10] wizard__: whats your network card? [04:10] hm [04:10] iobelisk please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk#Capacity_measurements [04:10] logreeval, its just morning here.. so abt 12 hrs :) [04:10] my connection here is so slow.... it's at 64 and won't restart. [04:10] wizard__: do you see your wired interface when you run ifconfig ? [04:10] essentially, the vista bootloader doesnt appear because it has no reason [04:10] PvAdct_ubuntu: its on-board from my laptop. works in windows and ONCE upon a time worked in linux [04:11] And you know what bugs me? The Vista security feature everyone complains about, at least everyone I talk to, is the feature we already have. Being prompted for a password to modify the system. [04:11] okay, thank you very much. [04:11] wizard__: I had similar problems [04:11] oh wait [04:11] haru, cool, thanks again for the help :D [04:11] And we've had the feature for years. [04:11] I wonder if anyone here knows a command for completely reversing the order of all bytes or bits in a single file. [04:11] you could load XP AND vista directly? [04:11] dryrot: yup, but setting static = no resolve, setting autodhcp = no resolve [04:11] PvAdct_ubuntu, of course, since after apt-geting kde, you will still keep the gnome/ubuntu stuff which has nothing to do with kde, and that will make your system completely bloated [04:11] hello! [04:11] haru bbiab i will try some stuff.. [04:11] unagi, you find it? [04:11] can someone tell me where i can manage the desktop effects settings? [04:11] that could require some grub setup, MAYBE...but i still think gutsy will be smart enough to keep grub mostly the same [04:11] localgod11, right click on desktop, last option [04:11] wizard__: i don't know what that means. so can you grab a ip address with it? sudo dhclient eth0 [04:11] last tab [04:11] dryrot: no i cant [04:11] is there a problem with upgrading lag? 30+ minutes & I am halfway through modifying software channels [04:11] dryrot..........many people have gotten the bot to point me to the same god damn page i have been to 5 times [04:11] * Kyoukipichi needs to know one so he can try it on an AOL CD and possibly hear demonic voices [04:11] So I got Ubuntu 10.7 and I can't install anything from the add/remove manager. [04:12] dryrot: and it worked in ubuntu edgy, but not feisty and now not gutsy [04:12] quick question--is bullet-proofX implemented? Please say yes [04:12] imbecile: the servers are VERY swamped [04:12] imbecile, read topic [04:12] unagi: watch the language [04:12] kr00lplatinum: the servers are swamped [04:12] if im posting an error in attempt to get libdvdcss2 dont you think maybe ive been there already? [04:12] canhm [04:12] is there a way to manage all the options like i did with beryl? [04:12] or do you n ot think that complex [04:12] hmm [04:12] unagi: no, because you're not following instructions. [04:12] People, I have an ATI x1300 and I can't use compiz on the Ubuntu 7.10... Does anyone could help me? PM please [04:12] imbecile, today is day0, of course servers are doing the best they can, be patinent [04:12] unagi: there is _NO_ libdvdcss package. You'd know this if you read. [04:12] can I use this string and not load boot loader to run with my current configuration: "sudo dd if=/dev/hda of=/media/share/ubuntu.bin bs=512 count=1" ? [04:12] localgod11: install Advanced Compiz Configuration Thingy from Add/Remove [04:12] unagi: im not 100% following yer conversation, but im going to guess that you want libdecss, and its not there, and you want to know how to get it [04:12] really [04:12] thanks [04:12] i just installed it [04:12] I cant find libglitz-glx1 in synaptic in dapper drake ubuntu<<<<<<<<< [04:12] unagi: i think it's like asking "why isnt this piece of software that has gotten people thrown in jail and sued included in the default ubuntu repositories" [04:12] looks like you were wrong [04:12] cdm10: So i can't download free programs because ubuntu 7.10 is being downloaded by everyone? [04:12] anyone here who thinks the download is taking too long just torrent it and leave the torrent open afterwards to help other people [04:12] kr00lplatinum: pretty much [04:13] I have my disk separated in two partitions, I already freed one of them (it's NTFS formatted but no files on it); how can I make the installer use the whole second partition? I don't want resizing it, and I don't want it to use the whole disk [04:13] what about emerald? [04:13] unagi: how hard is it to read: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html [04:13] ? [04:13] thats not what i asked [04:13] yes it is [04:13] i know why it isnt included [04:13] anyone wanna have a private conversation about ubuntu and hacking and such? [04:13] FNX WTF? [04:13] lol [04:13] No, FNX, that's offtopic [04:13] dryrot: you hurt my feelings so. anyway im glad you got libdvd666 installed. oh. you kept asking 'why isnt it included?????!?!?!?!?!!?" so i answered you [04:13] o my bad [04:13] FNX, #ubuntu-offtopic [04:13] unagi, its because ubuntu cannot legally distribute that package. Same reason windows doesnt come with DeCSS installed--its illegal in the US [04:13] wait wait wait...i said HACKING...not cracking..... [04:13] once again [04:13] what's the command for a terminal to delete a directory and all files and sub directories inside of it? [04:13] i know WHY it doesnt come with it [04:13] dryrot, you talk to yourself, ha [04:14] Bax: rm -r [04:14] how do i make the cube rotate? [04:14] Aw hell, this is driving me nuts, I think I'll reboot to liveCD, do a fresh install of 7.04 and then patch and then upgrade. [04:14] my question was why after following the wiki adding in the repo i was gettign that error [04:14] how do you get widgets for gutsy gibbon??? [04:14] cdm10: well that's good to know! Why doesn't everyone just torrent Ubuntu 10.7 [04:14] Lord, why can dell legally distribute drivers? [04:14] but its cool [04:14] Back later all. [04:14] "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" [04:14] help [04:14] everyone decided to come up with their own version of what i asked [04:14] unagi: sounds like the proper repo was not set up [04:14] cdm10: then the directory's name? [04:14] darkcrab, because they pay money [04:14] thank you Mad [04:14] kr00lplatinum: it's not the people downloading ubuntu, it's the people upgrading... and you can't upgrade via torrent [04:14] unagi: stop [04:14] Bax: yup [04:14] ty! [04:14] unagi, unless you didnt notice, this channel is really hectic right now, im really only partially seeing your convo. May be best to check a forum for this [04:14] I have my disk separated in two partitions, I already freed one of them (it's NTFS formatted but no files on it); how can I make the installer use the whole second partition? I don't want resizing it, and I don't want it to use the whole disk; I basically only want to reformat one partition but not touch the partition table [04:15] cdm10: screw upgrading just do a fresh install [04:15] hey guys does anyone know how ubuntu gets its name for new releases [04:15] I was also curious about something. When you buy a dell linux laptop, does it come with non-free drivers already set up? [04:15] just donated $20 us in celebration of gutsy [04:15] So, I went and did something stupid in experimenting with DPI. Typed in the wrong number and now everything's too large for me to access the option again. Can I change it on the command line? [04:15] unagi, there is no point in arguing. We are volunteers and blah blah blah...you know the rest. [04:15] unagi: < sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh > is that so hard? [04:15] unagi: the process is simple. 1) install libdvdread3, and run the command cdm10 just pasted [04:15] * LordLimecat did not know about said dvd install command [04:15] LordLimecat: it's in the help info [04:15] <|neon|> does gutsy supports the intel ichr9 raid controller using dmraid , just wondering since the ichr9 still a fakeraid if dmraid will work [04:15] darkcrab, ask them.There is also a subforum dedicated to Dell computers. [04:15] let me push up a few times and repeat what i said before for those that missed it [04:16] i just installed it [04:16] * LordLimecat didnt read that info :( [04:16] !beryl [04:16] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [04:16] looks like you were wrong [04:16] thank you vocx [04:16] unagi: so, what's your complaint? [04:16] dont have one [04:16] unagi: via sudo apt-get? [04:16] unagi: go away [04:16] darkcrab: if it doesn't you can install them from the repositories. most likely it's the same as if you had downloaded and installed yourself. i don't see a reason for them to alter/add to the OS like they do with Vista. Either way most of Dell's hardware is compatible anyway [04:16] !sudo apt-install beryl [04:16] unagi: that's not possible. Watch this. [04:16] just saying that all this hostile bs at the moment is stupid [04:16] sx66xfce: there is no beryl any more [04:16] anyone else having trouble connecting to the ubuntu us servers? [04:16] come on can someone help me with "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" [04:16] !info libdvdcss2 | unagi [04:16] nooooooo [04:16] unagi: Package libdvdcss2 does not exist in gutsy [04:16] oh man [04:16] FNX, they're likely overloaded [04:16] cdm10: noooooo [04:16] the bot said [04:16] it doesnt exist in gutsy [04:16] dryrot: if you want to get dvd playing so much, get yourself LinDVD rpm from Mandriva 2007 [04:16] I dont have to upgrade right? [04:16] that must mean it doesnt exist at all [04:16] cdm10: we've told him many times. He doesn't get it. [04:17] im so stupid [04:17] man [04:17] unagi, drop it. right now. [04:17] the ubotu knows about every program known to the unix world [04:17] Pseudoryx: whoa whoa, no.... [04:17] unagi: you say you installed from the repositories, and that's simply not true. [04:17] gee why am i so stupid [04:17] Madpilot, ah i see. [04:17] unagi, you yourself are acting hostile, and crowding up an already crowded chat. The reason people are giving you this repeat advice is because you keep discussing this, and people arent paying 100% attention to you--theres like 500 other people who need help in here [04:17] sx66xfce: if you want to install the advanced config stuff for compiz, install the package "ccsm" [04:17] I cant find libglitz-glx1 in synaptic in dapper drake ubuntu why?????? [04:17] k [04:17] yea, I never get upset if people dont answer me. There are so many people here with questions. [04:17] has neone tried to install the ieee80211-1.2.18 program for the Intel pro wireless adapter? [04:17] lets see [04:18] cdm10: i am on xubuntu, do I only install "ccsm"? [04:18] !info mayaautoscript [04:18] Package mayaautoscript does not exist in gutsy [04:18] sx66xfce: yep [04:18] tritium, damn that was rough... anyway, good luck, I'm off. [04:18] * anarchist is away, auto-away after 20 minutes, (log\off pager\on) [04:18] bye vocx [04:18] darkcrab, later [04:18] bye vocx [04:18] someone help me fix my gutsy, when it loads instead of that progress bar thingy, my screen blinks till it comes to GDM [04:18] so guys where does ubuntu come up with the names for its releases [04:18] •haru• you just a login screen [04:19] liberion: is that gutsy is the name of the monkey? [04:19] Flats, what? [04:19] liberion, in the bottom of large glasses of alcohol. [04:19] liberion: i think it's whatever mark shuttleworth thinks sounds funny [04:19] Is there something wrong with the us.archive.ubuntu.com repository? I can't get universe [04:19] Where does the crash handler plugin log in gutsy by default? [04:19] ...for compiz [04:19] <|neon|> have ne1 try the trevino gutsy repos [04:19] madcap_magician, what alcoholic bottles [04:19] el_z0rr0, I had trouble with the mirrors today, I just find and replaced us.archive.ubuntu.com with uk.archive.ubuntu.com [04:19] el_z0rr0: yes, there's a lot wrong with it, the servers are swamped because everyone's upgrading at once. [04:20] has anyone gotten xen to work in gutsy ? [04:20] •haru• you do get to the gnome display login screen? [04:20] Tip to anybody wanting to upgrade....change your apt mirror! [04:20] Flats, yes..i can login as well [04:20] U know: those servers have to be lagged..loo..I am waiting. [04:20] <|neon|> dryrot: i would like to know also [04:20] RoC_MasterMind: synaptic and i think update manager let you choose different repositories too [04:20] I am having problem with kde [04:20] I see, thanks [04:20] I have a problem with a ethernet driver in ubuntu 32 bits (and PCLinuxOS) but I never had such a problem with Ubuntu 64 bits... are the driver differents between 32 and 64 bits version? [04:20] dont get pissed at me because people in here decided to get bitchy when i told them they were wrong [04:20] el_z0rr0, RoC_MasterMind: If you go to System>Admin>Software Sources there's a way for it to automatically find the fastest mirror [04:20] TORRENT. don't download from the main servers [04:20] |neon|: I can't even get it to work right with debian etch [04:20] so guys where does the name gibbon come from?? [04:20] cdm10: i can not find the package "ccsm" in respo. or add/remove [04:20] some processes of kde goes not "disk sleep" status without terminating, they hang there [04:20] is there an alternate dvd version ? [04:20] unagi: ban-evading will get you in worse trouble... [04:21] <|neon|> :( [04:21] •haru• My problem was before login. Fought with it for a while but your pastthat [04:21] ban-avading? [04:21] lmao [04:21] ok [04:21] hey is anybody here running ubuntu on an x500 hp product? [04:21] liberion: sounds the same like Ribbon [04:21] cdm10: I'll try it [04:21] not my fault sprint renews ip addresses when you reconnect [04:21] are the visual effects more stable in gutsy? [04:21] Pseudoryx, your point ? [04:21] sx66xfce: look for "advanced desktop effects" in add/remove, make sure it's set to All Available Applications [04:21] liberion: just code name, maybe it does not make any sense at all [04:21] A gibbon is a type of monkey [04:21] text won't show for me in a pdf [04:22] how do i start the cube rotation? [04:22] A little one [04:22] cdm10, I'm looking...how? [04:22] i have a question. does the liveDVD have restricted drivers or just more free packages? [04:22] Makzu: i c [04:22] RoC_MasterMind: in the mirror selection box, choose other, then hit the button. [04:22] hi hi hi [04:22] guess there is no way to go back is there? [04:22] what is the main difference between the dvd and cd version? [04:22] Pseudoryx: They're actually pretty cute [04:23] Is anyone else having long wait times for downloads through synaptics? [04:23] I am running Ubuntu on a 2Gig (E machine)....It screams..thanks Ubuntu. [04:23] yeah, interesting cdm10 [04:23] text won't show for me in a pdf [04:23] paq7512, the dvd has options like doing server install, textbased install (like alternate cd) and the livecd where you can install from. [04:23] would rsync be the fastest way to copy data from one harddrive to another or would the "cp" command be faster? [04:23] How is Gutsy on a server? [04:23] eulogy_, switch to a different mirror through system/admin/software sources [04:23] crshman: i don't see why rsync would make it go any faster unless you're trying to only sync differences. [04:23] So, I'm trying to install Gutsy now and for a while it's been stuck at 82%, Configuring apt. Is it just going slowly because so many other people are hitting that server too? [04:24] slackern: thanks but all i really need is the cd version just to try out linux right? [04:24] ok i mount'ed my windows partition, now some filenames which have special characters are showing (e.g. "d\303\255s" instead of "dís") [04:24] Thanks RoC-MasterMind [04:24] haru: reloaded repos in Synaptic, tried installing another package. Same error. [04:24] makzu, yes [04:24] how to get the latest ubuntu on DVD? [04:24] i gotta see if this still works [04:24] DCC SEND startkeylogger 0 0 0 [04:24] i thought rsync would actually have a higher overhead than just straight up "cp" but ok =) [04:24] yay [04:24] WorkingOnWise, i am out of ideas then .. sorry [04:24] what can i do? [04:24] Oh wait, never mind, it just burst forward again. [04:24] paq7512, yes, the regular one will let you try it out on a livecd and also let you install while you are in a graphical enviroment [04:24] WorkingOnWise, u did delete the file tho, right? [04:25] i tried mounting it with nls=utf8 === wgheath is now known as xp_prg [04:25] paq7512, the alternate has more options and can be used for installing if something doesn't work from the regular livecd [04:25] i want to write ubuntu to a cd but its too large for a 650 mb cd [04:25] unagi, ip addresses shouldnt be renewed unless youre restarting yer modem [04:25] Anyone know how can I mount MDF and MDS image file? I've fail to do so by following many tutorials on internet. It'd be cool if there is GUI [04:25] what can i do [04:25] I'm trying to play something with mplayer and I'm getting "alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1242:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy" Is there something I can do to force it to not be busy? [04:25] moss: get a proper-sized CD [04:25] moss, buy a set of 700MB cd's? [04:25] moss: but a 700MB CD [04:25] if i upgrade to gutsy from feisty will i lose programs and settings? [04:25] would I be able to install ubuntu 'over' madriva 2007 spring and keep the home dir ? [04:26] s/but/buy ;) [04:26] I cant find libglitz-glx1 in synaptic in dapper drake ubuntu why?????? did anyone see this? [04:26] its too late right now [04:26] im not on a modem [04:26] i wanted to install it tonight [04:26] everywheres closed [04:26] its 11:30 [04:26] moss: so install it tomorrow [04:26] though technically the cell phone is acting as a modem so technically it is restarted every time i disconnect [04:26] BeOSMrX: no, it is unsupported [04:26] this sucks [04:26] I'm having a problem accessing a folder in my computer. it says "You do not have the permission necessary to view the contents of 'folder'". I'm on the administrative account. Why is this happening? [04:26] jdong what's the best way then, if I want to keep my home folder [04:26] moss: we can't help you fit a 680 MB ISO onto a 650 MB CD. [04:26] BeOSMrX: if its in the separate partition that is supported file system yeah [04:26] may be a chmod problem fly [04:26] moss: or see if the alternate cd is any smaller, it's a text-only install. [04:26] BeOSMrX: is it all on the same partition? [04:26] unagi: what does that mean? [04:27] yes, same partittion [04:27] you know... [04:27] well i tend to have those problems when viewing ntfs systems when its not set up [04:27] fn'Flyzoola: is it on an external drive? [04:27] hello everyone [04:27] what folder are you looking at or where did it come frome [04:27] Flyzoola, what system are u running ? [04:27] or a windows partition' [04:27] BeOSMrX: do you have familiarity with how to mount the drive from the LiveCD? [04:27] i think it would be a better idea to back-up my home dir and then just wipe and install ubuntu 7 [04:27] I'm on Ubuntu Feisty Fawn [04:27] i have a hdd i can use and back-up my home dir [04:27] Flyzoola: did it come from an ntfs system? [04:27] hi i wish to develop software for ubuntu, but i don't know where to start [04:27] BeOSMrX: better yes [04:27] i am trying to install ubuntu on this machine and I get all the way through to the configuring apt screen and then it hangs on 40% anyone know how to pop up a console? [04:27] it's also a folder inside my computer. It's the icecast2 folder [04:28] BeOSMrX: if you can back up your home dir, that's the best way of doing it [04:28] alt + f ubuntero_numero1 [04:28] a folder inside your computer...? [04:28] f2 [04:28] unagi, thanks man [04:28] BeOSMrX: otherwise, you can mount your existing partition from the livecd, rm -rf all subdirs but /home, and then unmount it, then tell the installer not to format the partition [04:28] no prob [04:28] yes. /etc/icecast2 [04:28] er well [04:28] BeOSMrX: obviously this alternative is extremely hackish and probably not a good idea unless you're trying to earn geek points :) [04:28] i see ubuntus naming convention is catchy animal names [04:28] is there a ubuntu DVD ? [04:28] i think the active terminal is f7 or f8 [04:28] how can i get native characters to show up in linux? [04:28] What am I missing, Just did a clean 7.10 DVd install, compizmanager not in synaptics, and don't see Advanced Desktop Effects Settings, or Desktop Effects under preferences [04:28] you're trying to access as root? [04:28] I'm trying to play something with mplayer and I'm getting "alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:1242:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or resource busy" Is there something I can do to force it to not be busy? [04:28] unagi, the mirrors must be getting hammered [04:29] liberion: yep. We're just waiting until Aasimov's Aardvark [04:29] ebirtaid: what does that mean? access as root? [04:29] if i upgrade to gutsy from feisty will i lose programs and settings? [04:29] haru: actually....the file doesn't exist to delete...but I think automatix may be the culprit....I'll know in a few minutes.... [04:29] Veinor, omg [04:29] When I try to enable normal visual effects, I get "The Composite extension is not available" ... What does that mean? [04:29] is there a known problem with not being able to browse the web from 7.10 .. but can ping and dhcp has allocated ip/gateway/dns.. windows works fine on same machine [04:29] squee: does your sound work at all? and are you using gnome (ubuntu) [04:29] unagi: not unless you're doing a blank install [04:29] BeOSMrX, Yes there is one, It has options to run as livecd, doing a server install and also doing a textbased install, like all the cd's in one. [04:29] juanbond, install xserver-xgl [04:29] i.e., complete install from a gutsy CD [04:29] sweet, what's the folder name ? [04:29] fn'Flyzoola: your user account can't write to /etc you need to use sudo [04:29] WorkingOnWise, it does for me :| [04:29] snadge: try accessing the web the hard way. what happens if you 'telnet www.google.com 80' [04:29] juanbond, that will allow you to use compiz, because your video drivers don't support running it on Xorg [04:29] dryrot: It worked a while ago. I am using gnome [04:30] unagi: i cant answer that for sure yet, but i doubt it, i think most settings are stored in .programname folders in your home folder, i doubt the upgrade would delete it [04:30] unagi, no. but if you keep on ban-evading, you'll loose access to #ubuntu. [04:30] dryrot: I've had this happen in the past and it will work after I restart, but there has to be a better solution [04:30] hello [04:30] squee: does your sound work right now? try System->Preferences->Sound and see if it works [04:30] thank you crdlb! [04:30] are the repositories down or something? [04:30] ebirtaid: can you explain that to me? I'm a lunix n00b. this is only my 3rd day using it [04:30] "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" [04:30] dammit.....my cruise ship is getting ready to leave [04:30] dryrot: i have to reboot into gutsy to test it.. im in windows again, since its networking is working [04:30] inigomontoya: extremely busy, and slow.... [04:30] inigomontoya: just being hit very hard right now; give them a while. [04:30] bah i have to work in an hour anyway [04:30] inigomontoya, no but us.archive.ubuntu.com is slow [04:31] dryrot: that does not work. It says something about not being able to write to the device [04:31] jimmyww_: ususally means bad or scratched disk [04:31] the text based install is 693 mb [04:31] BeOSMrX, sorry slow access to the servers right now so it might be best if you go to http://cdimage.ubuntu.com yourself and find it, or find a good mirror site for it. [04:31] haru: I know it should...Automatix is successfully installing some fonts now...We'll see if it will put things right. [04:31] veinor, jdong, thanks i was wondering if it was my problem or not [04:31] anyone having issues upgrading due to repository slowness, try torrenting the alternate install cd, burning it, and sticking it in [04:31] Is azureus buggy since gutsy for anyone else? as in it crashes [04:31] you're trying to edit a config file right? [04:31] jimmyww_: can you do a media check? [04:31] omg, automatix? [04:31] the torrent speeds are incredible, i maxxed out my 16meg line [04:31] snadge, did you verify your network settings are correct with ifconfig -a ? [04:31] so im planning on buying a pcmcia wireless card for this old laptop i have that im gonna give to my mom, anyone know of a good card thats ubuntu-friendly out-of-the-box? [04:31] unagi: you think that's an excuse for your behavior? [04:31] does anyone know the name of a widget that acts like the fisheye panel in mac os X? [04:31] abcde_: it's been buggy forever, try Deluge, it's much nicer. [04:31] jdong, how [04:31] abcde_: see bug 68020 [04:31] squee: try changing your sound device in System->Preferences->Sound . also are you in the 'audio' group? try 'group YOURLOGINNAMEHERE' [04:31] I have to do this when offline and from the live cd lol http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131253 [04:31] * liberion glad hes not upgrading right now [04:31] jimmyww_: should be a bootup option [04:31] what are you talking about [04:31] yes? [04:31] squee: i mean 'groups' not group [04:31] okay will do [04:31] slackern - i can use this ftp://ftp.telus.net/pub/ubuntu/7.10/ but which is the DVD download, they down show iso size [04:32] I have a laptop, thinkpad t43p, with a VGA-out as well as the laptop screen. I was just reading about Gutsy and it said there's improved VGA-out support. I'm wondering if it's possible to drive a second monitor via the VGA-out and have a different workspace on the second monitor. [04:32] I m facing a strange problem with ubuntu 7.10 when i logged in now as http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/9554/gnomeerrorjp6.png and the theme also has been changed [04:32] and why are you trying to instigate something that happened 15 minutes ago and isnt even an issue [04:32] i'm looking to get mencoder, is that package i need named mencoder or is it a part of mplayer? [04:32] dryrot: It isn't a group issue. using mplayer as root doesn't work either [04:32] ebirtaid: can you explain that to me? I'm a lunix n00b. this is only my 3rd day using it [04:32] mencoder is its own packages [04:32] WorkingOnWise, automatix is better at breaking things than at 'putting them right' [04:32] squee: are you in the audio group? [04:32] after aasimov's aardvark, we will naturally have Abstract Abo Bat [04:32] i installed ubuntu gustu [04:32] dryrot: yes [04:32] iam unable to install screenlets in it [04:32] cdm10, does deluge do RSS? or have a ip-range blocking plugin? [04:33] unagi: ban-evading _is_ an issue [04:33] squee: can you play test sounds in the sound control panel ? [04:33] BeOSMrX, that mirror doesn't seem to have a DVD, i got mine via a torrent file from cdimage.ubuntu.com [04:33] im not evading [04:33] dryrot: no [04:33] abcde_: rss yes, i think. not sure about ip blocking [04:33] Madpilot: yeah...but since apt is already broke..... [04:33] unagi: they banned you, and you're back, that's called evading... [04:33] i keep losing service and have to reconnect.....open up xchat to join #compiz-fusion and ubuntu automatically pops up [04:33] sorry let me leave and change my nick and come back [04:33] Also, I have three emacs processes running, one of them appears hung, closing it via the GUI isn't working. Any idea how I can tell which emacs process in "ps" is which? [04:33] WorkingOnWise: automatix (ab)uses APT, so if it's broken, it won't work [04:33] would that make it better? [04:33] how can i install screenlets from source [04:34] unagi: i would just suggest leaving for a while to let everything cooldown [04:34] just my 0.02 [04:34] con someone explain to me what sudo is and why I can't write to /etc from my user account? also, how do I access that folder if it says that I don't have the permission necessary? [04:34] he can cool down while im here [04:34] slackern I guess the CD is still good enough for me then, would it be ? i don't need anything anything [04:34] ::shrug:: [04:34] BeOSMrX, hmm just a sec, i might have the .torrent file still on my system [04:34] anything special, at least [04:34] unagi: he has power to ban, tho, and you dont, thats why thats my advice [04:34] cdm10: shhhhhh. my dilusion is that Automatix will do good and not evil.... [04:34] unagi: you should go to work and come back later when you're less of an asshole. perhaps when you graduate high school [04:34] oh boy and ibe got to service this gutsy gibbon now ! [04:34] ive [04:34] if he really wants you gone he can ban yer subnet [04:34] !ohmy [04:34] Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. [04:34] ban dryrot [04:34] BeOSMrX, just let me check and i'll give it to you [04:34] and then you WONT come back [04:34] he has bad potty mouth [04:34] Im getting Grub error 18 on boot with gutsy. i had the same partition setup with fiesty.. what gives? [04:34] jdong, so the only solution is azureus 2.5? [04:35] but yer free to ignore my advice, just trying to help [04:35] !aclocal [04:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about aclocal - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:35] squee: there's a command to let the alsa utilities to go out and figure out which sound card it should be using, i think [04:35] can someone explain to me what sudo is and why I can't write to /etc from my user account? also, how do I access that folder if it says that I don't have the permission necessary? [04:35] well seeing as how my cruise ship moves constantly [04:35] abcde_: solution seems unclear... I have a manually installed azureus in ~/home/local [04:35] squee: did your sound ever work ? [04:35] wher can i get some help for my problem [04:35] i dont think banning a subnet will work either [04:35] but my point is im not causing a problem so why is it an issue [04:35] VeganCheesesteak: are you dual booting? [04:35] dotjay: what is your problem? [04:35] BeOSMrX, i found it, will put it on a server and pm you the link [04:35] abcde_: but it is a known issue that azureus with default Java is unstable, it's better with Sun Java, best when gotten from azureus's site [04:35] i cant install screenlets in gusty [04:36] dryrot: Yes. It worked just a while ago. There is some command to release all of the audio devices but i can't remember it [04:36] CITguy: yes. Vista is first partition.... partitions are vista, swap, linux [04:36] slackern [04:36] DCC is fine [04:36] jdong, so I should install Sun Java from azureus' site? [04:36] squee: what happens if you restart alsa ? [04:36] abcde_: no, sun java is "sun-java6-jre" in Ubuntu [04:36] CITguy, ok, clean install, what do i need to do along with the drivers from nvidia to get the video stuff working correctly [04:36] VeganCheesesteak, theres an error when grub was written so you havta log into that parttion and edit the /boot/grub/menu.list [04:36] con someone explain to me what sudo is and why I can't write to /etc from my user account? also, how do I access that folder if it says that I don't have the permission necessary? [04:36] abcde_: in fact, if you pull in the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package then it will pull in Java [04:36] i downloaded the file tried installing it as per the given istructions but i aint gettin any thing in that [04:36] liberion: how can i do that? [04:36] slackern is your firewall set for outgoing dcc ? [04:36] unagi: continually protecting your plastick(ness)..is appalling. [04:36] jdong, i did the thing u said and got the same error [04:36] abcde_: afterwards, run "sudo update-alternatives --config java" and select the Java with sun in the path [04:37] flyzoola chmod can do it i just dont remember which number is.....but typically you dont wanna do it anyway [04:37] plastickness? [04:37] VeganCheesesteak: there's your problem. Vista will hide the partition and grub isn't able to find the partition. [04:37] Flyzoola: sudo allows you toto run a command as the admin user [04:37] Sivik: you there? [04:37] unagi: DO NOT chmod /etc to be user writeable [04:37] ubuntu forums has a list of compatable wireless cards and mine is listed, yet i'm being told by the system that signal strength is 0% and it will not connect. anyone have insight as to why? [04:37] dotjay: yes, whats up, i must have missed it [04:37] VeganCheesesteak, what is your partion name where u have the / of ubuntu ? [04:37] thats what i just said [04:37] I can install Kubuntu but not Ubuntu, ubuntu hangs at creating file system, what might be the problem? [04:37] yea, is it normal for vista partitions to not be resizeable? did MS change something with NTFS? [04:37] where is the link that says how many more months of updates feisty has? [04:37] Flyzoola: sudo is a way to escalate a single command to root access. For editing configuration files, you need to run "sudo name_of_editor /etc/file/to/edit" [04:37] Flyfox: and by default only the admin has permisison to write to /etc because it contains important stuff [04:37] spezticle: ignoring the signal strength, does it still work? [04:37] vista partitions are not resizeable? really ? [04:37] squee, alsaconf list ? [04:37] darkcrab, it has 18. [04:37] LordLimecat: i have resized mine before it just matters where on the table it is [04:37] CITguy: well i had fiesty on previously no probs..i try to clean install over [04:37] BeOSMrX, hmm sorry doesn't seem like it, but i got it on the server now, just moving it to the webfolder [04:38] thank you Roc.:) [04:38] darkcrab, oh...I mean 12. [04:38] liberion: 3rd partiion of sda [04:38] darkcrab: i think they have another year, seeing as its been 6 months since its release [04:38] parsek, i just had the same problem. it is likely that you are allocating more disk space to the partitions than your hard disk contains [04:38] dryrot: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restarts but still doesn't work [04:38] VeganCheesesteak, so sda3?? [04:38] darkcrab, each normal release is for 18 months. [04:38] jdong, there are two with sun, 1.5 and 6 [04:38] unagi: a vista partition, or an ntfs one? [04:38] no, it does not it will try to connect to my network, after a minute or so, just quits and says no network connectivity [04:38] ok thanks [04:38] vista [04:38] huh [04:38] abcde_: get the 1.6 one [04:38] im running vista at the moment [04:38] i suggest opening up partition editor from system/administrative and creating/editing file aprtitions from there [04:38] j_ack: alsaconf list? [04:38] sivik: run sudo apt-get install libc6 libc6-dev linux-headers-`uname -r` xorg-dev make [04:38] unagi: people put up with deliberately being annoying in #perl . you should go hang out there instead [04:38] liberion: um yes i guess so [04:38] abcde_: faster, fewer memory leaks [04:38] what's the command to search for a file in a specific directory through the terminal? [04:38] what did i say that was annoying [04:38] interesting, good to know [04:38] so, how do I access the folder? It says that i don't have the necessary permission to access my own folder. I've looked online for help on setting up my icecast2, but for x or y variables, it doesn't seem to work [04:38] iobelisk, how come? i don't think so [04:38] VeganCheesesteak, download slackware disc 1 and ill show u how to fix ubuntu [04:38] just answering peoples questions [04:38] Flyzoola: so using sudo vi /etc/.. is a good way to remind you to be careful and it prevents applications you run as a normal user from messing around in there [04:39] unagi: just drop it [04:39] sivik: how can i install screenlets from trbz [04:39] jdong, 1.6 isn't in the "--config java" list [04:39] what did i do?! [04:39] o.0 what is he doing [04:39] go to partition editor from the systems menu and see how much space it detects on your hard drive [04:39] unagi: people put up with deliberately being annoying in #perl . you should go hang out there instead [04:39] abcde_: did you install sun-java6-jre? [04:39] iobelisk, i followed the same thing but Kubuntu works [04:39] dotjay: i have no clue what a trbz file is nor do i know what screenlets is [04:39] Yo, just installed xubuntu and when im trying to install xhcat it says Depency is not satisfable [04:39] liberion: if i just mount the disc should i be able to fix? [04:39] you should! people spend YEARS being annoying in #perl , they're still there [04:39] it is likely it will be different from what the wizard detects. [04:39] darn archive.ubuntu.com repos [04:39] dryrot, unagi , enough... [04:39] LordLimecat: isn't vista ntfs? [04:39] squee, alsaconf list show your soundcards [04:39] Sivik:tarbalz [04:39] dryrot: did i miss something, he was answering my question [04:39] dryrot: please, you're not helping either [04:39] i didnt do a friggent hing [04:39] jesus christ [04:39] why is everyone all over me [04:40] why is the update manger running so damn slow [04:40] magicrobotmonkey: so I should just type in sudo vi /etc/icecast2 on the terminal? [04:40] Sivik, change your repo if you want. [04:40] cdm10: i would ASSUME so, but given their undocumented things to FAT, and their changes to CD standards.... [04:40] Sivik: System>Admin>Software Sources, then go to mirror, then other, then choose best [04:40] Flyzoola: try gksudo gedit /etc/../file [04:40] unagi: cause your amusing [04:40] cant be sure [04:40] VeganCheesesteak, are u in ubuntu right now then?or when u try to get in u get grub load error [04:40] mr_wang: update servers are under extremely heavy traffic [04:40] iobelisk, is there a way to install Ubuntu in this case? [04:40] mr_wang: everybody's trying to update at the same time [04:40] what's the terminal command to search for a file in a specific directory? [04:40] RoC_MasterMind, i have already changed it like 20 times today and its still being stupid [04:40] j_ack: "alsaconf list" returns command not found [04:40] er......did i miss something, looked like dryrot just instigated problems with unagi [04:40] get more severs. [04:40] Because your wilfully arrogance is uncalled for. (unagi) [04:40] jdong, /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java has a *+ next to it, and the others don't, so I'd assume so [04:40] took me 8 hours to update 7.04 today [04:40] and unagi got the blame [04:40] liberion: i cant boot from hd..but i can bring up the live cd [04:40] cdm10, not gnome and i do it from command line [04:40] abcde_: that's good, that's all you want :) [04:40] hmm making my window decoration command "emerald" has failed me, however terminalling "emerald --replace" works. So to get it going on startup, should I go the route of adding "emerald --replace" to startup programs? [04:40] mr_wang: be patient [04:40] abcde_: just wanted to make sure installing sun java defaults to it :) [04:40] i try to open strigi, and it opens uo kate :( [04:40] hey what happened to the sysconfig dir in gutsy? [04:41] same here jshufelt_ [04:41] Sivik: well, you'll have to try different mirrors until you get a fast one. [04:41] hey - is there a way to get feisty versions of *specific* packages from gutsy? the haskell (ghc) packages are not completely upgraded so this has lead to compatibility issues [04:41] sivik: any idea in completing the installation [04:41] VeganCheesesteak, can u write with the boot disc or is it read only ?? [04:41] server is realy crowded [04:41] squee, asoundconf list sorry [04:41] dotjay: no, i have no clue [04:41] jdong, now what do I do with azureus? go to 2.5 or what? [04:41] i have been trying all night [04:41] Sivik: did you get my reply [04:41] parsek, what does the partition editor under systems menu inform you of available and total disk space on your hard disk? [04:41] ok no prob [04:41] abcde_: yes, get the latest version of azureus from their site [04:41] j_ack: returns "intel" [04:41] liberion: let me see [04:41] mr_wang: you could just use a different repo, are you downloading the iso? you'll get the iso a lot faster if you use a torrent [04:41] it just sits there and does notting [04:41] abcde_: get yourself DELUGE, it's better Torrent Client [04:41] damn... beckett just struck out #11 [04:41] Sivik have any idea regarding vmware installation? [04:41] squee, have you set this card? [04:41] abcde_: get yourself DELUGE without the need of isntalling Java Run Time [04:41] leave me alone jesus christ [04:41] I love my cable card [04:41] i didnt do a damn thing [04:41] dotjay: what version? [04:42] anyone have a clue how to get my windows to come off the cube ? [04:42] i downloaded the live cd... but i can't update using it. [04:42] Pseudoryx: abcde_is into downloading illegal stuff and wants an IP blocker, which Deluge doesn't have. [04:42] dotjay: i just normally follow the instructions from the vm website [04:42] magicrobotmonkey: "Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed." although a window DID pop up.

Deluge doesn't have them from what I've been told. I like the RSS reader, and built-in IP range blocking. [04:42] unagi_: whether what you did was wrong is debatable, but arguing with ops and evading bans won't get you anywhere. [04:42] haru: you still with me? [04:42] liberion: ok i will download [04:42] you are installing kubuntu on a different partition or are you installing the desktop on the same gnome install? [04:42] can everyone just not instigate problems? [04:42] iobelisk, what was yours, what did you do? [04:42] is this where i can report bugs in gutsey?

When I apt get update, it says Release Candidate. Do I have to manually edit that out or will future updates fix that? [04:44] abcde_: Deluge do have those Functions, similar plugin like rss reader and speed limit plugin [04:44] logreeval, err yeah.. which is why asked if any sound devices are there T_T [04:44] hey - is there a way to get feisty versions of *specific* packages from gutsy? the haskell (ghc) packages are not completely upgraded so this has lead to compatibility issues [04:44] jdong, Downloaded and unpacked. Now what? Should I remove the apt-get installed one [04:44] haru: you dont happen to know how to make the sound less sensitive, cause its annoying hearin a crackly sound everytime i go over a button [04:44] Flyzoola: did you use gksudo or just sudo? [04:44] abcde_: yes [04:44] can anyone tell me what i didnt wrong? I was trying to compile gtk 2.10.13, here is the error log - http://pastebin.com/d379759be [04:44] anyone know how to make the windows float off the cube using CF?

I typed gksudo [04:44] abcde_: run ./azureus in that folter to start azureus [04:44] well, i had gutsy beta installed on a portion of my hdd, i was dual booting with windows. i did a reinstall today using the entire disk, deleting windows. i too got a partition failed error. when i went to the partition editor, i realised it was detecting a lower amount of total disk space. so i edited my partitions from there and then went back to the install wizard, it detected the new partitions, i gave them mount points from there, fo [04:44] abcde_: AZUREUS take too much time to install, and mucnh ram as well [04:44] abcde_: you can create launchers to the azureus files too [04:44] jtt: Thanks. [04:44] Pseudoryx: both are relatively untrue [04:45] haru: it just says USB device...and it doesnt really do anything :- [04:45] Flyzoola: you know how to use vi?

[04:45] Pseudoryx: Azureus deals fine here with about 150MB RAM usage including its built-in disk cache [04:45] run alsamixer in terminal and change vol [04:45] j_ack: Nope : / [04:45] Pseudoryx, I meant an IP range blocker. I'd prefer to keep azureus, as I told the other person who said I should switch to deluge. I like azureus. [04:45] PurpZeY, sure [04:45] Pseudoryx: I've been seeding 3 torrents today, totalling about 115GB transfers [04:45] magicrobotmonkey: nope. like I said, this is my 3rd day on any linux based OS. [04:45] i installed vmware workstation in ubunutu but iam unable to start it [04:45] when is first beta release of hardy coming out?

[04:46] abcde_: remove ~/.azureus (apparently the config dir causes crashing too) [04:46] Hey. Dumb question: Has anybody tried either feisty or gutsy on a Compaq FS730US? [04:46] abcde_: well it depends on personal taste I guess, I found deluge more simple and run fast [04:46] iobelisk, it stucks at 5% creating ext 3 file system [04:46] logreeval, works?? btw in the preferences for the soundtray icon make sure.. speaker is selected [04:47] there seems to be a problem with the ntfs writing implementation for 7.10, at least in the livecd [04:47] Pseudoryx, it automatically blocks ranges, not manually. I said I want azureus, can you please stop telling me to change. [04:47] yes parsek, i did that too. but the minute i stopped doing that from the install wizard and did it from the parttion editor it worked [04:47] I have one Question..When I installed (7.10)..my firewall keeps shutting down..why is that. [04:47] Pseudoryx: personal taste indeed... there's a lot of good torrent clients out there; he wants Azureus [04:47] Flyzoola: erm, perhaps thats not a text file, what directions are you trying to follow? [04:47] 5 more repos that aren't working [04:47] who was asking about scannning wireless networks? you can use 'iwconfig' [04:47] yes, i had it stuck exactly at 5 percent too [04:47] haru: sound works, volume control thingy doesnt... [04:47] my Xorg is always at 19.9% mem , i am using Xinerama on 3 monitors at 1920x1200 60Hz, is there anyway to optimize it ? [04:47] trust me, do as i say, and it will work. [04:47] use the partition editor from the system menu to edit your partitions. [04:47] when i delete files from windows while in the livecd, it does not update the amount of space i have left [04:47] Sivik, did you try uk.archive.ubuntu.com? I had luck with that earlier todya. [04:47] |neon|: no i installed it from the tarbz [04:47] logreeval, right click vol control.. make sure ur card is selected and speaker is also seleceted [04:47] anyone else have problems where the gutsy liveCD throws around "input/output error"s or "bus error"s? Because i can hardly launch anything within it, oh yeah, and the gnome-settings-daemon refused to start this time around, wtf is wrong? [04:47] a torrent program that runs fast... that's like wanting a 64-bit word processor [04:47] remer: it probably put them in the trash [04:48] i checked, it didnt [04:48] iobelisk, hmm, when i goto partition editor, I can not unmount it, and it crashes [04:48] the files are gone from windows [04:48] For importing windows settings, do you have to reformat the drive that windows is installed on? [04:48] remer: check the trash on the lower right, and also check out the hidden .Trash-something folder on the windows partition [04:48] haru: will you pastebin your /var/lib/dpkg/available file please? [04:48] still sitting waiting on headers [04:48] can anyone tell me what i didnt wrong?

I'll try 2.5 [04:49] Got it [04:49] |neon|:the only thing went wrong might be i din configure it for the first time [04:49] No biggie [04:49] and the recycle bin is empty [04:49] haru: i know, this set up seems buggy :- [04:49] abcde_: ok; I'm using 2.5 and it seems to work fine on my machine...

[05:19] lexu1: sorry, 'sudo update-manager' [05:19] Psyber, you could also try using aptitude to resolve the issue [05:19] Dr_willis: well, you'd have to umount the drive first, then the mount point is just a dir [05:19] Vlet, ctrl+f3 doesn't do anything? [05:19] Vlet: I looked in Synaptic and it was not installed....so I am installing update-manager [05:19] defrysk: what is aptitude? [05:19] thundr3, try super grub disk, just google it [05:19] jimmygoon: oh... thought that was the shortcut for the 'run command' [05:19] is there a command to move volumes in lvm? [05:19] Vlet, and mounting somthing OVER a directory. makes the permissions on that dir. Ignored. I do belive. :) [05:19] Psyber: did you put /home on a separate partition? [05:19] Evanlec: thanks, I'll try that [05:19] :O did you remove update-manger :O [05:19] magicrobotmonkey, i did that,what about zooming back to desktop button [05:19] well one thing i can say about Gutsy is that bulletproof X works [05:20] tritium: no :-( I wanted to but did not have the space to spare [05:20] lexu1: open a terminal and try running: sudo update-manager -d [05:20] dredhammer, i managed to break it. :) [05:20] hello is there any place I can download Ubuntu doc ? [05:20] one upgrade and reboot later [05:20] Vlet: I am installing update-manager [05:20] Vlet, nah its Alt+f2 ... Alt+f3 is deskbar in gutsy ... btw, he apparently removed update-manger :S [05:20] Dr_willis: oh, I can be a tard with stuff like that [05:20] Vlet: please don't refer people to #debian for ubuntu. They won't get helped. [05:20] lexu1: what? why? [05:20] what would hte module name be [05:20] Vlet, its just how mounting things work. :) [05:20] apparently my video card just couldn't be recognized [05:20] Vlet: it was not installed [05:20] heh [05:20] Psyber, if you have a seperate /home , a fresh install with a preserved /home should be a no brainer to maintain previous settings [05:20] precisely [05:20] thedonvaughn: sorry, I thought it might be a good place for more advanced stuff [05:21] Vlet: also the Add/Remove is not in my menu anymore... [05:21] nvm i saw it thanks [05:21] Vlet: nah, it's just that #debian doesn't support ubuntu. That should be supported here [05:21] lexu1: open a terminal and try running: sudo update-manager -d [05:21] lexu1, it sounds to me like trying to upgrading your (Butchered) copy might be a bad idea [05:21] whoa. i just noticed going to "my computer" via nautilus does not show my /home partition. also, my home folder is created in / not in /home [05:21] defrysk: so could I just backup /home install then recopy my old /home? [05:21] anyone else find the deskbar thing rather useless? it only finds "documents music and videos" apparently, very windows-ish [05:21] is this normal? [05:21] Is there a way for me to set Update Manager to use a mirror? Because whatever it's trying to use, it's not getting anything [05:21] Evanlec: agreed. [05:21] thedonvaughn: yeah, completely understood. My mistake :) [05:21] yay! [05:21] hi, can i edit the titlebar to add additional buttons? [05:22] anyone mind directing me to the gutsy livecd?

[05:22] the best bet to updrage [05:22] Psyber, I don't know if mine thing was a fluke but I reinstalled (From scratch) tonight and when I copied my home/jimmygoon dir with nautilus... it didn't take all of the regular OR hidden folders with it... I had to do some of them manually :S [05:22] jimmygoon: well hopefully all I need is the update-manager and then I can update and then upgrade [05:22] is to get the laternative cd or dvd va torrent and mount the image and upgrade with that [05:22] thedonvaughn, if the deskbar thing is useless, i feel like i should get rid of trackerd too since it seems also useless [05:22] lexu1, hopefully :D [05:22] lexu1: have you tried just running it from a terminal like I suggested? [05:22] :O, I kinda like deskbar personally [05:22] lexu1: here are instructions on upgrading: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/UbuntuTutorials/~3/171861024/ [05:22] Evanlec: should be able to disable it in System->Preferences-Session [05:23] Psyber, just during a fresh install set up /home as /home , do not format is , and use the same username during install, after install and reboot you should get into your original /home/username , with original settings , Always make a backup first of course! [05:23] I use it for the yahoo/history/email stuff though [05:23] Vlet: yes..... the terminal crashed [05:23] I have two folders with .avi's and .mkv video files in them. They show the generic totem icon, Both folders were on my system when I installed the gstreamer codec's. How do I get them to show me video previews like every other video on my computer? [05:23] lexu1: o_O [05:23] defrysk: ohhh i c. spiffy [05:23] upgrade sounds worse and worse [05:23] Psyber, I do it all the time ;) [05:23] lexu1: sounds like something on your system is unhappy if the terminal crashes [05:23] jimmygoon: ok... I have Update Manager going and it looks all good [05:23] thedonvaughn, yea i know, just wondering if there was any usefulness to such an obtrusive process...indexes my whole filesystem for what? [05:23] why is the dvd torrent slow [05:24] Am i supposed to use the terminal for resolution change? [05:24] i'm not getting more than about 100kb/sec [05:24] KeithWeisshar, you dl with torrent much?

[05:25] Evanlec, google? google can't search my evolution email or my history :P that and I kinda like how its integrated into gnome's open/save dialog === Tomcat_` is now known as Tomcat_ [05:25] xTheGoat121x: put /home on its own partition next time you do an install then you won't have to upgrade [05:25] i'm using bittorrent 6.0 [05:25] xTheGoat121x: Keep in mind, that although this place is full of people with problems there are LOTS of ubuntu users who aren't in here with problems :) [05:25] jimmygoon, google desktop can i bet.. === TheCrowX_ is now known as TheCrowX [05:25] So, is there a graceful upgrade process from Feisty to Gutsy? [05:26] Evanlec, oh, yeah, I forgot they do have that for linux now.. I would be interested to see a comparison between tracker vs gdesktop [05:26] jimmygoon, and not to mention that google is the first results that come up from deskbar...wtf is that? how much google does a person need? [05:26] oldmanstan, yeah, that's my next change. I'm planning on making a shared partition between my XP and Ubuntu partitions. [05:26] defrysk: how did I mix them in the first place? I have only added 1 or 2 repos? I also did not have any problems until I upgraded last night to gutsy. [05:26] Can anyone parse my iptables string and tell me if I'm doing something wrong? I'm trying to forward from one IP to another IP: sudo iptables --verbose -t nat -A OUTPUT -d 110.112.104.111 -j DNAT --to 208.69.150.114 [05:26] how do i install ubuntu restricted drivers [05:26] OT, does Beagle index file contents as well? [05:26] Vlet, very true.... Well, I will ask this, do you know, can I opt to NOT have the drive indexed by Ubuntu? [05:26] Things have been going screwy. Totally unrelated but both happening at the same time, I have my 1280x800 laptop screen, which worked perfectly till I tried to configure a second monitor, is now defaulting to 1280x720. And nm-applet is starting an additional instance of itself every time I log in. (I had 4 last time, now I have 5.) [05:27] anyone doing the 7.04 > 7.10 upgrade? mine keeps sticking on file 12/18 [05:27] hi. something seems to be wrong over here. i cannot see my /home and /other partitions. only /. also, i do not get a prompt for password when i open up synaptic. for / nautilus says user unknown and i have only read access?? [05:27] jimmygoon: yes [05:27] psyber you could try aptitude dist-upgrade to resolve it, aptitude has more powers [05:27] Or do I need to start scheduling downtime to bring up systems by hand? === haggard is now known as TheGoodKid [05:27] cellofellow, thanks, and I feel bad for your 5 instances of nm :( [05:27] liberion: ok all set :) [05:27] would there be any issue with me ugprading directly from edgy to gutsy without going through fiesty? [05:27] Psyber, also make sure you have multiverse and universe activated in your sources.list === Fade2Black is now known as Fade2Blac [05:27] this is probably a silly question but - I after about a week of trying to get it - I give up. Here is the question - How Can I change the theme of my ubuntu 7.10 install. The appearance manager tells me that invalid file type for Any theme that I download from art.gnome - Please help [05:27] 6 actually, miss-counted. [05:28] THANK YOU!! [05:28] xTheGoat121x: I would assume so - unfortunately, I'm on a freebsd system at the moment, so I can't check :) [05:28] a simple killall nm-applet gets rid of them, but I get more the next time I log in [05:28] mboso, actually, on the site it says to ONLY go from Feisty to Gutsy. [05:28] Is it possible to change the "Desktop" folder? [05:28] defrysk: what does aptitude do? BTW, my upgrade last night gave me funky errors about repos and not being able to install some stuff properlly [05:28] anyone found a FreeNX package for Gutsy?? [05:28] clay3482, try going to "Customize" and then dragging the themes into their respective tabs... [05:28] I've got a radeon x600 mobility gfx card. Do I want to use the ati driver or the radeon driver? (screw fglrx)? [05:28] Gutsy is soo nice [05:28] Psyber: aptitude is a more powerful addition to the apt suite. It has more powerful dependancy resolving. [05:28] I have to admit, installing on my laptop has been really nice. [05:28] Psyber, aptitude does apt-get with more resolve options [05:28] Psyber: and a nice 'gui'. [05:29] Psyber: I that is the case, go into administration then software sources and make sure everything on the front tab is checked. [05:29] the livecd hardly works for me... lol, i'm hoping the installer will be better [05:29] Vlet, ok, thanks. I honestly have no need for my files to be indexed or any of that stuff [05:29] defrysk, can u explain what u mean by resolve options? [05:29] anyone here use bongo? i just installed everything and started it up but i can't figure out how i'm supposed to log into the web interface and where i'm supposed to configure it... the docs on the site are pretty vague... can someone point me in the right direction of getting started with bongo? [05:29] Is it possible to change the "Desktop" folder name?! [05:29] IanLiu: perhaps you could remove your ~/Desktop and replace it with a symlink called Desktop that points to the location of your choice... not sure if that'll work, but worth a try :) [05:29] Psyber: Then run update manager and click check to download any respos. you're missing. [05:29] Hmm [05:29] How do i know if compiz is running and configure it under kde? [05:29] xTheGoat121x: yeah, I'm just turning that off [05:29] Vlet: i'd think that'd work, but it's kinda a crappy solution [05:29] has anybody had the problem of not being able to access certain partitions? and not having write access to root? [05:29] aptitude can resolve dependencies up to the point to uninstall a complete os to get the package installed [05:29] I guess I'll reboot instead of just relogin, and see what happens. [05:29] why not make a symlink somewhere else to ~/Desktop [05:29] hey guys, is aptitude install very slow for everyone ?? [05:29] right now that is? [05:30] codeshah, change your software source serve [05:30] jimmy "what correct tab" [05:30] codeshah: the servers are under a lot of stress [05:30] eulogy_: I just ran update manager it seems to be working... but somethings just are not install properlly [05:30] xTheGoat121x: ok, thanks. will upgrade to fiesty first [05:30] server [05:30] where can I get more information and talk about i8k? [05:30] aptitude installs just quickly, my inet is slow though, so download is slow. Apt of any stripe HOGS bandwidth though. [05:30] It is because my Desktop is translated to Portuguese, which becomes "Área de Trabalho" and it is too hard to type.. [05:30] ademan, IanLiu: yeah it is... then perhaps the path to the users desktop dir is located in the gnome configuration manager [05:30] ademan, but what should I change them to?... I am using the us.archive... hmm [05:30] IanLiu: there's probably a gconf setting- one sec [05:30] defrysk, so aptitude is better in that sense as its more thorough? [05:31] Is there a way to burn all of the updates as they are downloaded onto a cdrw so I can use them again after reinstalling; and can then it remove any intermediate updates that are superseded? [05:31] eulogy_ odd software sources were disabled in the sources list [05:31] heyai [05:31] has anybody had the problem of not being able to access certain partitions? and not having write access to root? [05:31] i had a cp crash about half through on a 30gb media files transfer from one disk to another in one machine. do you think rync would be best to find the files that are not copied to finish the transfer? [05:31] Vlet: well changing it there would shaft all non-gnome desktop environments, you may not care about this, but most DEs expect your desktop to be at ~/Desktop [05:31] how do you upgrade from 7.10 beta to 7.10 ? [05:31] Evanlec, if used with care it can be better [05:31] starcraftmazter: you just update through update manager. [05:31] musikgoat: rsync can cure cancer, so sure :-p [05:31] !final > Starcraftmazter === christian__ is now known as christian383 [05:32] run sudo aptitutde upgrade && sudo aptitude update [05:32] defrysk, oh? so its more dangers? interesting... [05:32] ademan, do you know the rsync command for a differencial copy? [05:32] Actually, my Ubuntu is in Portuguese, which translates Dektop to another thing. I wanted to turn it back to Desktop [05:32] can you guys help me [05:32] IanLiu: never mind, nothing specifically, but there is an option I like [05:32] Is there any chance I killed my gfx card bios while trying to set up beryl?

[05:33] Starcraftmazter, you don't have to do anything else (special) [05:33] musikgoat: pretty sure it defaults to differential, if i'm not mistaken you have to use a switch to turn it off [05:33] IanLiu: np, enjoy [05:33] defrysk, i see [05:33] how do i generate xorg.conf [05:33] Psyber: Under Updates, the only thing that should be checked under Ubuntu Updates is important security updates and recommended. [05:33] how do i generate xorg.conf?????????? [05:33] I thought there would be a final wave of updates once Gutsy was released, guess not then [05:33] starcraftmazter: try running sudo aptitude upgrade && sudo aptitude update. if nothing installs, youa re all good. [05:33] eulogy_: when I upgraded last night I got an error involving util-linux: now when I use synaptice this is where the dependency issues arise [05:33] ok thanks [05:33] okay now, can somebody please help me [05:33] Psyber: Apply those, it should ask you if you want to reload and do so.

[05:37] Ubuntu 7.04. Connecting with SSH works fine internally on the subnet behind the router, but connecting from the outside causes "Connection refused" to appear. The port is forwarded properly, and the message is immediate. Connecting to a port that is not forwarded times out after a while, which means the forwarding should not be the problem. What could cause this? [05:37] where as all other desktop content are well seen and movie is played well enough in the notebook [05:37] yes i understand about sudo guys. i opened up nautilus to check if my home files were in its own partition. but all it shows is the / partition, nothing else. i created 3 paritions on install. / ext3. /home et3 and /other reiserfs [05:37] defrysk, Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

I guess it's just a bad coincidence [05:37] TheDukeNY: like 2 months. [05:37] only the projector output is black in totem player [05:37] i didnt even realize jimmygoon =P [05:37] TheDukeNY, 2-3 weeks, but I'm in KS so I don't know if that matters [05:37] why is this happening ? [05:38] is there any extra configurations need to be done ? [05:38] i lost my sound after plaing with ndiswrapper [05:38] kilopopo, thats not a question [05:38] defrysk, i get an error when i do glxinfo [05:38] indraveni, I was having problems with some of my codecs outputting b/w only as well... I just kept reinstalling them and then it was okay for a while... [05:38] indraveni, use a different player, mplayer or xine, and look maybe changing the way the dual-head setup is, xinerama or something else maybe [05:38] defrysk, this is what it shjows Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".

[05:39] Charlotte, if it was working why did you update? [05:39] i unistalled the oldone then installeverthing again and now no sound [05:39] defrysk, nvidia driver is already installed [05:39] MasterShrek, i will try that [05:39] MasterShrek, so u finally built your own custom kernel that works? I finally concluded that it wasnt worth the effort, only thing i wanted really was the realtime version i think [05:39] kilopopo, nvidia-glx ? [05:39] iobelisk, it stands for "SuperUser DO" .... so like "touch /file" fails... but root can do it ... so "sudo touch /file" works... etc. [05:39] is installed ? [05:40] is it possible that ubuntu did not mount the other partitins and wrote my /home folder within the / partition? [05:40] totem-gstreamer seems to get better all the time, but it still sucks ... compared to vlc [05:40] gaah livecds are so sloooooooooooooooooooow [05:40] defrysk, nvidia-glx-legacy [05:40] night all [05:40] any clues on why my old thinkpad's extra keys don't work anymore (feisty -> gutsy)? hotkey-setup package? [05:40] Kilopopo: Plunins? [05:40] totem skrunches all my vids up [05:40] MasterShrek, is your guess is like, totem is having some problem ? [05:40] Evanlec, i think it was worth it, optimized for my processor instead of generic x86_64 its amd64 now [05:40] TECH_1, plunins? [05:40] Pie-rate: what do you expect? ;) [05:40] plugins [05:40] indraveni, try vlc, imo [05:40] woah love the new default wallpaper [05:40] indraveni, possibly, i always had better luck with xine [05:40] So, "connection refused" when connecting from "the internet", but not on the local subnet. What could cause this? [05:40] kilopopo, and restarted x after install ? [05:40] Pie-rate: I absolutely agree. its amazing [05:40] TECH_1, i do not have any plugins installed [05:40] MasterShrek, humm...but i thot ubuntu automatically installed the correct kernel for your architecture... [05:41] Pie-rate, I like the second one thats installed and not chosen by default [05:41] defrysk, yes i restarted x [05:41] de [05:41] defrysk, can i see your xorg.conf [05:41] whats the command to check disk space thru the terminal? [05:41] jimmygoon, ok i will try them [05:41] kilopopo, kk one sec [05:41] it says "no volume control GStreamer plugins and/or no devices found" [05:41] how do i see a list of disks mounted and corresponding disk information? [05:41] iobelisk: df -h [05:41] jimmygoon: its ok... [05:41] thanks [05:41] :( [05:41] MasterShrek, as evidenced by uname -a "Linux ubuntu64 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux" [05:42] how the hell this happand??? [05:42] ok i see my other partitions over there. how do i access them thru the nautilus GUI tho? [05:42] Charlotte: language, please [05:42] Evanlec, Linux dp-lappy 2.6.23.1-dp #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 15 21:17:16 CDT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux it says x86_64, but its set in the config for my amd k8 family processor, more optimized than generic x86_64 i believe [05:43] via the GUI what i see is Computer- FileSystem (corresponding to only 14g which was the size of my / partition) and then home within that folder [05:43] CharlieSu, try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base also try it for alsa-utils [05:43] MasterShrek, hm, interesting...whats the preempt mean? [05:43] low latency [05:43] i think... [05:43] lol i dont even remember [05:43] lol [05:43] kilopopo, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41154/ [05:44] anyone here using automatix? [05:44] look at us, we're real experts ;p [05:44] altbinbpl, no! [05:44] one sec Evanlec ill look at it... [05:44] Hello, Kubuntu user here... in Adept Manager, when I click Manager Repo.'s -> Download From -> Other... -> Find Best Server, it just closes the "Software Sources" dialog and chooses the main US server (which is hammered right now). It doesn't seem like it's doing anything. What should I do? [05:44] altbinbpl, ugh [05:44] altbinbpl: don't use automatix [05:44] hey, ubuntu.com told me "latest linux kernel" for gutsy, but uname -r says 2.6.22. latest is 2.6.23. [05:44] yes Evanlec its low-latency [05:44] gameforge, sadly the mainserver is getting hammered more than the us mirror [05:44] altbinbpl, automatix is NOY supported here so dont ask [05:44] any ideas [05:44] Pie-rate: gutsy has 2.6.22 [05:44] worked great in feisty but seems broke for gutsy [05:44] Pie-rate: it was the latest [05:44] gameforge: use different server .. try 'ca' or 'mx' [05:45] altbinbpl, what all do you use it for to install? [05:45] MasterShrek, ah cool, i think im goign to just get the lowlatency kernel meta package thing [05:45] at rc even i beleive [05:45] Hey, is there a book I can study from to get Ubuntu certified? [05:45] gutsy will only let me display in low resolutions, i have an nvidia GeForce 6800 and all the noobish things i know to do dont seem to help... any advice? [05:45] i did the upgrade by downloading the alternate install cd, using that as my only repo, "sudo aptitude upgrade". now I get an error "Could not find the Gnome installation, will try running Failsafe xterm session", every time, help?!?! please? [05:45] musikgoat: i hear 2.6.23 has a new scheduler and other such nice things [05:45] used it for the vmware server and ntfs tools [05:45] J-_, u can become Linux+ certified from CompTIA thats all i know tho [05:45] Evanlec, you can also change the timer frequency of your processor, i bumped mine up to 1000hz which is apparently the best choice for systems requiring fast interactive responses to events [05:45] thebailey: you probably want the restricted driver [05:45] altbinbpl, no automatix broke gutsy so do a fresh install and stay away from automatix or ask somewhere else [05:46] Pie-rate: there are some additions i've read, I imagine you could update to it, but i don't know if you can get it from the main repo [05:46] Is there a way to burn all of the updates as they are downloaded onto a cdrw so I can use them again after reinstalling? [05:46] IcemanV9, jimmygoon: Well, I got mirrors.kernel.org to work, but it got so far and told me that the repo was out of date... I haven't had much luck choosing other random servers - any other ideas? [05:46] MasterShrek, no kidding...u did that during setup-xconfig ? my question then is who wouldnt want fast interactive responses to events ?? [05:46] where can i get a good walkthrough for compiling some source [05:46] i have the restricted driver turned on and it wont let me go above 640x480 [05:47] !compile > ezzieyguywuf (read the private message from ubotu) [05:47] !source | ezzieyguywuf [05:47] ezzieyguywuf: You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [05:47] Hi, I just upgraded to Gutsy Gibbon --- and my mouse has grown afterburners... I breathe on my mouse and it flies across the whole screen --- how can I fix this? [05:47] ezzieyguywuf: you shouldn't ever have to though [05:47] after install i get an error that there gnome cannot be located, and i get bumped to xterm....help, please [05:47] Evanlec, i dont know why for sure some of those things arent enabled by default, but i guess its because some processors cant handle it and you would want the config that the most machines would support [05:47] jrib: i'm trying to control amarok with JamSE and i have to use the bemused server and install a patch with it and apparantly the only way to do that is to compile from source [05:47] take your 45 auto out, and shoot the mouse [05:47] haha this is soo bad... I tap the table near the mouse and it bobs like 3 inches [05:48] Use unleaded [05:48] I barely tap the table and my mouse moves about 1 cm === Kenny is now known as mm13 [05:48] hrmm [05:48] my mouse runs and hides :( [05:48] How can I lower this mouse sensitivity? anyone? [05:48] TECH_1, lol [05:48] use a cat? [05:48] hello [05:48] Hello, I just upgraded from 7.10 beta to stable, on a toshiba a70 notebook, boot time takes about 10 minutes , with beta it was 1 -2 mins [05:48] anybody know anything about ATI mobility 2400 hd drivers? [05:48] dolphinheadedmar: sounds like an incomplete install, if you have an xterm, type sudo `apt-get install ubuntu-desktop` [05:48] :-X [05:48] ezzieyguywuf: read the link from !source in that case. You want to rebuild the package with the patch [05:48] CapaH: check the bloody preferences?!? [05:48] foxjazz: that involves a rimshot i'm sure [05:48] I'm new to linux, just playing around with it and haven't found anything [05:48] CapaH: alt+f1 to get the menu, then navigate to preferences for mouse [05:48] gameforge: there is a page on mirrors -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive [05:48] jrib: ok thanks [05:48] troxor: trying [05:48] xamer, do a boot without splash and see where its hanging (remove the word splash from the kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.list) [05:48] MasterShrek, yea i spose that makes sense....can you really "feel" it tho? or could it just be psychological? i want to see proof of this lol [05:48] Please, is there anything wrong with this file: http://66.35.62.53/sources.list [05:49] howto boostrap [05:49] can nobody tell me, where i can find the checksum for the Ubuntu Gutsy DVD iso? Cant find it on ubuntu.com [05:49] Evanlec, it boots much faster than it did on the generic 2.6.22 [05:49] troxer: I was there, the ONLY option I saw related to this was acceleration which was set to 2.0 -- I lowered it as far as it could go (1.0) ---- but that did not help a whole lot, I need some additional setting (using KDE btw) [05:49] !md5sum [05:49] To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [05:49] ok.. so where's the spinning cube? [05:49] jflash: yes, you are using breezy which is no longer supported [05:49] hey folks, I downloaded the new amd64 iso for gutsy, but when i choose install from the boot menu the screen just goes black. I had no problems installing ubuntu studio 7.04... any ideas?

[05:49] MasterShrek, really? it boots faster huh...well i spose that might be because its not loading all those modules maybe? [05:49] 4 srs [05:50] I'm looking for a good, simple, latex/pdflatex system for ubuntu 7.10... on windows I used miktex and led, which was painless to install and I loved led's environment, but I want something like that for ubuntu [05:50] Evanlec, well, i didnt mess with the modules yet, i figure i can do that anytime, i wanted to get the processor optimized first [05:50] is there a kickstart type way that can work in a chroot ? [05:50] * defrysk is too old for a channel with 1369 visitors [05:50] psyferre it's your video card [05:50] ill recompile when im bored in class some day or something lol [05:50] from releases.ubuntu.com was a torrent [05:50] WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [05:50] jrib, but this is the OLD repos [05:50] arg [05:50] christian383: and also the MD5 checksum [05:50] those are* [05:50] the apt system is a piece of junk [05:50] Does anyone know how I can set mouse sensitivity to be MUCH lower in xorg.conf for example? [05:51] My mouse is unusable [05:51] christian383: if the torrent completed, the checksum verified correctly- torrents have built-in checksumming [05:51] jflash: it is unsupported which means you don't get security updates [05:51] christian383: http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/MD5SUMS [05:51] Journeyman, you should know , if you say so [05:51] why when I try to uninstall a dev package it also removes the package the dev package is for [05:51] CapaH, cant you set it in your gnome configurations? [05:51] yes, but only for the cd [05:51] Well, I have a list of repo mirrors in Adept... I already tried a Canadian one, there aren't any Mexican ones listed - the page IcemanV9 posted has one, and it shows Gutsy, but I have no way to add it. :( [05:51] CapaH: SYSTEM>PREFERENCES [05:51] greetings Journeyman [05:51] !compiz [05:51] jflash: you should upgrade or do a fresh install of 7.10 [05:51] CapaH: if there's an option explicitly defining mouse acceleration in xorg.conf, comment it out [05:51] Journeyman, because the dev packages depends on the original [05:51] christian383: i missed what sum you were looking for [05:51] jrib, it's a virtual account, i cant upgrade on my own [05:51] MasterShrek, oh...but i dont see how processor optimization would really affect boot times... [05:51] the md5sum [05:51] !compiz | dga [05:52] christian383: for what tho? [05:52] jrib, i'm not trying to get sec updates, i need to install python-twisted [05:52] Evanlec, who knows, but it is definitely faster [05:52] musikgoat: the gutsy dvd === DarkHack is now known as D[a]rkH[a]ck [05:52] dont know what you mean... [05:52] It's OK, I'll just wait until the load lightens up - in the meantime, if anyone is so willing, the Kubuntu Gutsy DVD has about 6 seeders and hundreds of leechers, so if anyone has the ability to help out, it would be greatly appreciated - I've only d/l'd 100 or so megs in over 3 hours on a 7 mbit connection, and I have a 4+ share ratio... [05:52] does anyone know about installing Skype on edgy ? E: Couldn't find package skype [05:52] exactly... the ubuntu gutsy dvd [05:52] gameforge, just download it via http then [05:53] MasterShrek: There's no http download for the Kubuntu Gutsy DVD, just BitTorrent [05:53] do anyone know any signal strenght differences between bcmfwcutter and ndiswrapper? [05:53] guys, i'm trying to access the Breezy repos. I can't upgrade to dapper cz this is a VPS accocunt [05:53] jflash: well the only thing that is wrong is the fact it is breezy [05:53] alright guys, i have a noobish question [05:53] gameforge, why not get the cd ? [05:53] gameforge, i was not aware, why do u want the dvd? cant u just use the cd and install other packages from the net? [05:53] i am already seeding the ubuntu dvd [05:53] jrib: although the link that uboto provied was helpful, i don't see how to apply the patch [05:53] i also keep getting /var/lib/scrollkeeper/lv/scrollkeeper_cl.xml:1: parser error : Document is empt [05:53] jrib: all is says is to use apt-get [05:54] im installing gibbon on my xp laptop, and i want to dual boot, but im not getting an option to resize my partition...any thoughts? [05:54] MasterShrek, yea....i dunno, it is enticing but it sounds like it could be headaches...not to mention taking a couple hours to compile.. [05:54] DanMulvey, choose the manual partition option. [05:54] ezzieyguywuf: 'man patch' is very readable, feel free to ask for details if it is not clear [05:54] After updating from 7.04 to 7.10, X is no longer working. I'm getting a fatal error: no screens found. any ideas? [05:54] YaY for having to reinstall [05:54] defrysk, MasterShrek: Well, I'm trying to upgrade - I don't want to wipe out, I've been upgrading since Dapper... I could do the whole upgrade from the net, but the mirrors are all busy and my "Find Best Server" button doesn't work - with the DVD, I could upgrade (mostly) locally. [05:54] macd: wont that overwrite the xp partition? [05:54] jrib: thanks [05:54] !torrent [05:54] DanMulvey, no, it will let you resize and partition to install [05:54] Evanlec, it takes 45 minutes to an hour, but theres no real headaches if u follow the guide i used, youd have to recompile any extra drivers you had tho (nvidia, etc.) [05:54] DanMulvey: you can also use the gparted livecd if all else fails- it's a pretty neat little util [05:55] troxor,it worked ! [05:55] thank you! [05:55] thanks ill try that [05:55] gameforge, you would have been upgraded by now if you wouldnt have decided to use the dvd [05:55] dolphinheadedmar: no problemo- enjoy :) [05:55] one maore package to go!!!!! [05:55] is it possible to create a bootable usb drive from an ubuntu livecd? [05:55] dystopianray➔ yep [05:55] MasterShrek: well I've got the DVD downloading on another machine, I'd like to use the built in upgrade... been trying for hours [05:56] on my laptop, cpu and hdd are always busy... trackerd and mount.ntfs use ressources... like 81%... what is the purpose of trackerd ? [05:56] MasterShrek: I'm also worried that if my mirror goes down in the middle of the upgrade, it will leave my system borked [05:56] MasterShrek, got a link to that guide by chance? [05:56] gameforge, no it wont, if it doesnt finish downloading all the packages, it shouldnt try to install any of them [05:56] yea Evanlec one sec... [05:56] booh, trackerd is for search function, u can disable in system preferences > services [05:57] gameforge: I have been dling using the built in upgrade since 11 estern time this moring [05:57] I'm being told there is no boot/shutdown splash in the final release (clean install) of Gutsy. Can anyone confirm or deny this? [05:57] gameforge: just get the image [05:57] booh: it should stop using so much resources after it's indexed everything [05:57] i'm having problem with my sound card, no sound comming out. Seem to be recongnise and loaded properly, but still no sound. SB Audigy. Any clue? [05:57] christian383: I dont think they did a dvd release this time, according to this: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ [05:57] where is the ubuntu torrent [05:57] !torrents | Journeyman [05:57] Journeyman: Torrent downloads for the Ubuntu ISOs are available on all the download pages.

[05:57] fnadeau: did you check all the easy stuff, like volume, connections, etc? [05:58] anyone here familiar w/ troubleshooting s2disk on gutsy? I'm having no luck. [05:58] Anyone else having trouble pulling stuff from apt-get? [05:58] fnadeau, odd. My Audigy2zs works good - does it SEEM to play? just no sound? ie: a music player has the little bars jumping up/down?

[05:58] RedRose: repo's are slow, today was release day [05:58] dang how do i get to console in ubuntu? or just tell me how to instal videocard driver..nvidia.. [05:58] Evanlec: you did a clean install of the final release and you get both the boot and shutdown splash screens? [05:58] RedRose: The serves are more than likely getting hammered. Try a different mirror [05:58] MasterShrek: good point, although it already broke my sources.list once :) [05:58] !nvidia | pazsion [05:58] Flannel, Howso?

"/usr/sbin/synaptic --hide-main-window --non-interactive --parent-window-id 58720259 --update-at-startup" [05:59] nnonix, well...i actually used RC1 but it had a boot splash, i disabled it tho cuz i like to see whats going on ;p [05:59] must be a toshiba laptop [05:59] well, what did i download then? [05:59] gameforge, you said youve been upgrading since dapper? [05:59] someone help me fix my gutsy, when it loads instead of that progress bar thingy, my screen blinks till it comes to GDM [05:59] man.. trying to install new packages is painfully slow. [05:59] done dling yay!!!!! [05:59] bah, I am going back to windows I think === Element is now known as teknicaL [05:59] gameforge, thats cr8zy lol [05:59] I thought Dual Core 64 bits faster... [05:59] MasterShrek: yep, since Edgy on my laptop [05:59] how can i set the power of my bradcom woreless card [05:59] im using bcmxx43 [05:59] hey, quick question following for anyone: [05:59] sorry not my gdm.. the progress bar thingy.. when booting. what is that called again.. usplash i think [05:59] help me, i wanna see my usplash :'( [05:59] fnadeau, if using the digital output - you may ned to use the Mixer to enable the digital output. [05:59] jrib: i sitll have a question about patching. http://hcmeyer.de/bemused.patch that is the location of the patch i want to install, do i just save that webpage and run patch file.name of whatever i call it when i save it? [05:59] i'm trying to boot up the livecd to install, but now i'm getting a busybox prompt... never happened before [05:59] booh, are you using 64 bit ubuntu? [05:59] MasterShrek: I've been using Linux since RedHat 4.1, and I'm SOO tired of reconfiguring all the same software - I'll do anything to avoid reinstalling [06:00] i'm running a dell, with an ati vid card... [06:00] MasterShrek: I loaded 7.10 on another machine..the firewall keeps shutting off..any hints?. [06:00] DShepherd, u cant see ur usplash too? [06:00] Evanlec: I upgraded also and have the splash screens, but I'm told they are not there if you clean install the final release. [06:00] gameforge, haha, good idea i suppose [06:00] Jordan_U_: it looks like an automatic updater [06:00] Derek_, Try the alternate install CD [06:00] christian383: how about this? [06:00] christian383: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/MD5SUMS [06:00] someone help me fix my gutsy, when it loads instead of that progress bar thingy [usplash] , my screen blinks till it comes to GDM [06:00] I don't have a splash on load off the final release. [06:00] troxor, Is it safe to kill it? [06:00] i always disable the splash stuff anyway. :) [06:00] ezzieyguywuf: yes, but you need to be in the right directory and use the appropriate -p for the patch [06:00] nnonix, i have not heard anything of the sort [06:00] I don't think it was included in the final cd. [06:00] TECH_1, not really, check the firewall's logs i suppose would be my guess [06:00] troxor, There is no dpkg lock [06:00] nnonix, nor would i be worried about it if it were true [06:00] Will do.Thanks [06:00] wastedfluid, it was [06:00] haru, i am not sure if the usplash is what I am talking about [06:00] jrib: what extension do i save the patch as? [06:00] christian383: Ahh... There you go. Ubot inadvertantl linked to it. Why the hell they didnt put the dvd and cd checksums on the same page is beyond me, and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.04/release/ [06:00] wastedfluid: thanks! [06:00] ::just got ubuntu on dell b110:::lol::: [06:00] anyway to make it so emerald starts on it's own without doing an emerald --replace? [06:00] I'd prefere no splash, any how. It always seems faster. [06:01] haru, you know when ubuntu is booting.. and the progress bar thingy... [06:01] ezzieyguywuf: anything [06:01] MasterShrek; well, I got screwed of a splash screen I didn't want. :-) [06:01] theacolyte, put it in a startup script [06:01] DShepherd, its usplash i think [06:01] theacoltye: system>preferences>sessions [06:01] the asian guy in the green shirt freaks me out everytime i go to the Ubuntu website. [06:01] Evanlec: not worried, just trying to determine if my friends install is good (as it is different than mine). [06:01] DShepherd, or thats what i call it [06:01] sanguisdex: about getting the images... the CD image is useless, I may as well use the net, I'm trying to upgrade - the DVD image can only be downloaded from BitTorrent for Kubuntu (and I'm trying on another machine, 5 seeders, hundreds of leechers) [06:01] wastedfluid, well at least u didnt want it lol [06:01] any guarantees!? [06:01] haru, kool well the usplash is huge.. [06:01] nnonix, i see [06:01] ezzieyguywuf: thanks ) [06:01] theacoltye:add emerald --replace and it will do it automatically on startup [06:01] jrib: thanks [06:01] jrib, someone help me fix my gutsy, when it loads instead of that progress bar thingy [usplash] , my screen blinks till it comes to GDM .. how to i change resolutio for usplash?? [06:01] btw, i heart everyone in here hammering out answers [06:01] haru, not the right resolution. In fiesty it was fine [06:01] Jordan_U_: hm, weird... those options aren't listed in man synaptic... try killing it, see what happens :) [06:01] excellent [06:02] running gutsy now [06:02] DShepherd, same [06:02] thank you, thats what i was looking for... and the checksum matches mine!!! [06:02] gameforge, well it did just come out today, there will be more leechers by tomorrow i suppose [06:02] every time i try to dl a torrent it says port is blacklisted how do i change that? [06:02] MasterShrek, yes of course. Gutsy64 [06:02] haru, any leads? [06:02] troxor: i did that, it loaded gnome, i went to use update manager, and it told me i had to do a partial upgrade, then the distro upgrade box freezes? [06:02] MasterShrek, on that page is the first step at all required, section 1.1 [06:02] haru, on your laptop? [06:02] booh, and its slow? [06:02] troxor, Yea, I hate these commands that don't have their switches in their man pages [06:02] DShepherd, naw.. i have just been shouting for past few hours [06:02] MasterShrek, yes. [06:02] haru: /etc/usplash.conf [06:02] DShepherd, peecee/desktop [06:02] MasterShrek, oh...maybe i shouldnt do this tonight...i'll never get anywhere with apt-get... [06:02] Take about 15 seconds to open firefox [06:02] haru, ok [06:02] MasterShrek: yeah, I know, I'm just anxious :) was hoping to get it done by the weekend [06:03] no Evanlec i didnt [06:03] haru, Might be easier to install splashy instead :) [06:03] dolphinheadedmar: hrm, can you open a terminal and type `ps aux | grep dpkg` ? [06:03] In fact, it takes time to open apps but, inside the apps, all is ok. [06:03] DShepherd, edit /etc/usplash.conf.. jrib owns === Azer_ is now known as Azer [06:03] ((((( _Codeman_ )))))) [06:03] Evanlec, u should start it compiling tonight and it will be ready in the morning :) === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [06:03] jrib: the directory that the patch is in has to be the same as what exactly? (sorry i'm pretty new to this!) [06:03] It's like gnome not really reactive... [06:03] haru, haha. i was just going to ask about a config file. thanks [06:03] Hey does anyone know how to make the fonts look better? [06:03] <_Codeman_> I'm guessing the repository is down? [06:03] haru, http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/wiki/ubuntu [06:03] ezzieyguywuf: join me in #ubuntu-classroom [06:03] ok [06:03] booh, gnome sucks lol, is it fast if you are outside of gnome? [06:04] I'm trying to set up dual monitors in 7.10 and no matter what I do... if I move the mouse to the second monitor it won't move back to the first one. ideas?? [06:04] no [06:04] MasterShrek, well that was my plan...but im afraid if i have to grab packages from apt .... might take all night just to do that with the servers being hammered [06:04] troxor & Dr_willis: Mixer looks ok, volume to max, was working fine under FC7 ours ago but FC7 was sucking to much juice out of this old box, just switched to Ubuntu 7.10 but now i got no sound(and i did like the fact that i had to edit x11.cong to get proper resolution since the Resolution applet didnt had mine.. anyway) [06:04] PiousMinion, thats weird, and kinda funny, but i got nothin [06:04] Borat: system->preferences->appearance -> fonts tab, then adjust the "Rendering" options [06:04] MasterShrek, I have another laptop, P4-2.4 and gnome runs faster than on AMD64-X2 [06:04] !nvidia [06:04] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:04] <[UPG]Pritchard> What file should I edit to change the screen resolution settings for X11? [06:04] i suppose Evanlec, u just upgraded to gutsy today? [06:05] booh, my amd64x2 runs awesome [06:05] Funny, because I get sound under Ubuntu, but not FC 7. [06:05] MasterShrek, no, i upgraded to RC1 64 last week [06:05] <[UPG]Pritchard> Ubuntu doesn't detect my maximum resolution correctly D: [06:05] MasterShrek, i should say, i clean-installed to new partition [06:05] * JdU1 is overwelmed [06:05] [UPG]Pritchard, Most likely a driver problem, what card? [06:05] MasterShrek, Maybe.. my harddrive take too much time to start accessing files... It's like something "stuck" at each access... [06:05] <[UPG]Pritchard> I was hoping Ubuntu's new screen resolution configuration tool would allow me to edit the file, but apparently not D: [06:05] troxor: this is dolphinheaded on the afflicted ssystem, I typed in 'ps aux | grep dpkg' and got back '1000 17526 0.0 0.0 2976 748 pts/0 R+ 01:00 0:00 grep dpkg' [06:05] Is there a convenient way to put together a restricted-modules package for a self-compiled kernel? [06:05] i can't get X to work after updating from 7.04 to 7.10. help, anyone? [06:06] !kernel > Cale (read the private message from ubotu) [06:06] Evanlec, ic, i did that with the rc as well, then kept up-to-date until it stopped giving updates a few days ago [06:06] Cale: why are you bothering with your own kernel? [06:06] <[UPG]Pritchard> @jordon: It's worked for me before after manually editing the file. ubuntu detects the proper card type and everything. [06:06] kingnothing, X won't start at all? [06:06] Jordan_U: no [06:06] booh, that could possibly be a problem, is it a newer laptop? [06:06] Because I need reiser 4 support. [06:06] fnadeau: there is a switch, iirc, on the audigy (you can find it in alsamixer, among others) for optical out, which effectively disables analog output [06:06] MasterShrek, it was givin me updates yesterday, but nothing today, i assumed because of all the traffic [06:06] Evening all, got a problem I installed 7.10 and it was working great I restarted and its telling me "initramfs - failed to set xfermode" [06:06] MasterShrek, I have dual boot with Vista and it's at most same thing [06:06] graphics card - I may be having the same problem [06:06] any clues on why my old thinkpad's extra keys don't work anymore (feisty -> gutsy)? hotkey-setup package? [06:06] MasterShrek, Yes, less than 2 months ago [06:06] alienseer23: nothing that says dpkg or anything like that? [06:06] Jordan_U: in the gdm log file, I get an error... fatal server error: no screens found [06:06] kingnothing, Good, that would mean something was really broken if that happened in Gutsy :) [06:06] Unless you happen to know of a convenient package for a reiser 4 module. [06:07] does the xfi run on ubuntu yet? [06:07] so much for bulletproof x [06:07] Cale: no, I avoid reiser even more than I do the plague [06:07] troxor:no, only what i put in my last comment [06:07] <_Codeman_> Is anyone else having problems downloading packages? [06:07] _Codeman_: yes everyone is [06:07] alienseer23: ok, that's good- did you give it some time? [06:07] foxjazz: maybe, you have to install and configure the drivers yourself though [06:07] oldmanstan, No, it did work for kingnothing , unless it isn't working for you [06:07] _Codeman_: many are, as the servers are being hammered right now [06:07] troxor: problem solved... who is the dude that made that option enable by default??? [06:07] _Codeman_: it's because new version just got released, everyone is installing [06:07] _Codeman_: I've been having trouble all day, servers must be on fire or something [06:07] should I go to term and do 'sudo aptitude upgrade'? [06:07] booh, interesting, im not really sure what the problem might be, u say u have the same problems with vista or no? other than just the crappy vista stuff [06:07] <_Codeman_> K, thought so [06:07] dystopianray are there drivers? [06:07] Cale, reiser4progs perhaps ? [06:07] _Codeman_, yeah.. try another server [06:07] So, uh, yeah, is there a convenient way to build myself a restricted-drivers package for my custom kernel, or do I just have to install that stuff separately? [06:08] <_Codeman_> Good thing I upgraded yesterday [06:08] Jordan_U_: oh mine works peachy, i was just editorializing [06:08] troxor: yes [06:08] defrysk: That's just user tools. [06:08] still froze [06:08] foxjazz: yes, creative released x-fi drivers for linux [06:08] Jordan_U: I updated from the alternate CD downloaded through a torrent. the update servers are hosed [06:08] fnadeau: I don't think it was a default, but regardless, I'm not too sure how it gets enabled though :) [06:08] Cale, i would just do it seperately [06:08] quick question - is there a way to queue files to xmms in terminal [06:08] Cale, libaal-dev perhaps ? [06:08] MasterShrek, this article is a decent read: http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/10/16/64-bit_more_than_just_the_ram/1 [06:08] MasterShrek, Vista is slow too... but I though it was vista... and now, ubuntu is slow too but only when it needs access to hard drive. [06:08] <_Codeman_> another server? [06:08] mplayer [06:08] anyone have any idea about this initramfs error? [06:08] trying to install intel graphics and nvidida graphics helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp [06:09] alienseer23: try running `top`, to see if there are any runaway processes eating the cpu [06:09] pazsion: cut that out [06:09] kingnothing, The alternate CD does not contain the ATI / Nvidia drivers AFIK [06:09] yea i saw that earlier Evanlec, skimmed through it, bookmarked it, its more of a thing ill read in class lol [06:09] pazsion: you don't need to install intel graphics they should 'just work' [06:09] dammit ubuntu kernel devs, fix the damn dmraid bug [06:09] hello.. how can i change my resolution to 1440x900.. i have edit the xorg.conf already but still cant get the 1440x900 [06:09] defrysk: That still doesn't look like a kernel module... [06:09] Cale, and libreiser4-dev [06:09] anyone here familiar w/ troubleshooting s2disk on gutsy? I'm having no luck. [06:09] how do i update to 7.10? "sudo apt-get update" "sudo apt-get upgrade" does nothing for me [06:09] alain, Do you have the right drivers? [06:09] * xTheGoat121x watches room [06:09] MasterShrek, lol yeh [06:09] alain: did you use restricted drivers manager? should work automagically [06:09] haru, manual setting the res didnt affect anything. [06:09] yes [06:09] wastedfluid: s2disk for me is sucking big time [06:09] troxor: looks mellow [06:09] wastedfluid, Are you getting an error? [06:09] MasterShrek, can u post your uname -a output again [06:09] DShepherd, works for me :D [06:09] there are a few bugs out there [06:09] Ryuho: changing feisty to gutsy in sources.list, then apt-get dist-upgrade [06:09] !upgrade > Ryuho [06:09] Jordan_U_: guess i'll try installing a driver and see if that changes anything. i thought there was a specific error for that, though. [06:09] how can i check on the intel graphics card? from what i caan see it's not being used..but i'm new [06:09] how do u change your resolution through the terminal? [06:09] haru, is there a step I am missing? [06:09] uh - xmms /directory/the/file/is/in/filename.mediatype [06:10] anyone know how to add multiple timezones in the gutsy clock? [06:10] * MasterShrek watches xTheGoat121x watch the room [06:10] alain: i had to do the same i just changed all of the entries for "1440x1440" to 1440x900 and it worked [06:10] That's what I figured. Yes, I get an error. Jordan_U_ I get: (s2disk: Could not stat the resume device file. Reason: No such file or directory) [06:10] but still cant get the right resolution for my monitor [06:10] DShepherd, not imo unless u entered the alues wrong [06:10] haru - add another clock [06:10] I have 6.06, and want to upgrade to 7.10. Is there a way to skip 6.10 and 7.04, or at least install them (from network) without downloading the full distros? [06:10] k thx tronyx [06:10] all [06:10] Ryuho : you could also do : sudo update-manager -c [06:10] Jordan_U_: Yet, my UUID= is in /etc/uswsusp.conf.. [06:10] how can I open up the appearances menu with console command? [06:10] what, exactly, does initramfs mean [06:10] kingnothing, Well X is working with VESA but not with the driver you have set [06:10] i do no how abaut u [06:10] * xTheGoat121x reminds MasterShrek that we got yelled at last time we did this. [06:10] lols ok ill give that a try [06:10] Evanlec, Linux dp-lappy 2.6.23.1-dp #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 15 21:17:16 CDT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux [06:10] meta-paonia, theres some intl version of this same clock [06:10] rryan : i'm lazy i'll probalby do that [06:10] ryuho thanks for what? [06:10] haru, i have a wide screen with max 1440x9000. how can i find out what its supposed to be? [06:10] Jordan_U: what's the fix for that? [06:10] what is try [06:10] alienseer23: hmm.. in that case, it -might- be safe to kill synaptic/update-manager/whatever and try again [06:10] * MasterShrek doesnt care that xTheGoat121x cares that we got yelled at for this last time [06:10] dimych: you cannot jump from 6.06 to 7.10 [06:10] i was asking a question, you answered [06:10] HoW D o I K N OW N If My InaTel GraPhiCs A re ENabLEEd [06:10] =P [06:10] !desktop-effects [06:11] hey. is it worth doing a fresh reinstall? [06:11] !desktopeffects [06:11] kingnothing, Depends on why the driver is not working [06:11] pazsion: please... [06:11] haha [06:11] DShepherd, try 1200x1024 [06:11] MasterShrek, this the one i want? http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.23.1.bz2 [06:11] Why should I upgrade from Dapper to Gutsy? [06:11] alain, cnage the presets then hard reset xorg (ctrl alt bkspc) [06:11] troxor: it does this evry time [06:11] pazsion: does X start? [06:11] where is the help channel for compiz-fusion?????????????????????????? [06:11] haru, ok [06:11] clusty, yes usually it is [06:11] Evanlec, thats the one i used, newest one i believe [06:11] o.O which ryuho? [06:11] <|neon|> i have an issue is more annoying than anythielse, firefox will freeze everytime i try to use like java games such as yahoo games, java is installed and it shows enabled by about [06:11] Jordan_U_: is that info in a log file somewhere, or what should I try? [06:11] kingnothing, hopefully it just hasn't been updated to the Gutsy version [06:11] DShepherd, 1280x800 [06:11] no Evanlec [06:11] * xTheGoat121x watches MasterShrek not care about xTheGoat121x caring about being yelled at. [06:11] says event not found - !desktopeffects [06:11] Jordan_U_: Did you see my error? [06:11] kilopopo: try #ubuntu-effects [06:11] DShepherd, leave old value [06:11] yes, not with nvidia tho...chrys [06:11] wastedfluid, Yes, no idea :( [06:11] u dont want the patch [06:11] Thanks anyways, mate [06:11] ada yang pake bahasa indonesia ga??? [06:11] defrysk: great. tomorrow will play with this [06:11] ok, the ubuntu installer *commented out* the security.ubuntu.com entries in sources.list, because it couldn't find security.ubuntu.com because i hadn't connected to my wifi ap. WHY? if it can't find them on install, it should assume that the user will get teh internets working later, not comment out the security repo. [06:11] alienseer23: did you try apt-get update/upgrade from command line, with the same results? [06:11] MasterShrek, no? which one do i want then lol? http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ [06:12] <|neon|> plugins not swiftweasel and swiftfox work great with yahoo games and any other java game [06:12] haru, leave old value? what do you mean.. [06:12] Evanlec, http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.23.1.tar.bz2 [06:12] n2diy: no reason; i am still on dapper (cuz it just works (tm)) [06:12] can someone help me with the terminal [06:12] troxor: will do this now [06:12] DShepherd, i mean use the values 1280 x 800 [06:12] MasterShrek, isnt that what i just said? [06:12] defrysk: i am on gutsy now. whoudl i maybe wait a week extra? more stuff to be stabilized? [06:12] haru, there was no values for me. xres= and yres= . that's what was in it [06:12] haru, ok [06:12] alienseer23: there's also a dpkg lockfile or pid in /var/ something that shouldn't be there when running apt-type-stuff [06:12] crap [06:12] IcemanV9, yes, I unrstand that I can not jump, but perhaps there is a way to install only kernel and main libs of 6.10 and 7.04? [06:12] IcemanV9: yes, stable as a rock.. [06:12] IcemanV9, i like the attitude :) [06:12] MasterShrek, oh, i linked to the Patch...gotcha [06:13] Evanlec, no, yours was the patch, that was the actual kernel [06:13] yea === q_a_z_steve_ is now known as q_a_z_steve [06:13] im trying to upgrade to 7.10 and i get this error Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) [06:13] does anyone know if lvm causes any noticable performance decreases? [06:13] clusty, on gusty and wanting to upgrade ? how ? [06:13] clusty, Things don't "get stabilized" after release, other than the repositories not being so slow [06:13] MasterShrek, ic ic, is the realtime thing a patch i gotta add? [06:13] dimych: i have tried it once on another box .. it acted funny. so i scraped that idea. *shrug* [06:13] dimych: If you wait six months, you'll be able to jump straight to 8.04 from 6.06 though [06:13] how do i enable desktop effects? [06:13] I'm looking to do a clean install of gutsy, i have it installed right now. I want to know what I can do to get a list of the packages I've installed [06:13] i think that the arcive3 may be overloaded right now [06:13] gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade " not workin how come? [06:13] defrysk: on gutsy since alpha [06:13] haha, nice :) [06:13] nkryptd1: just use a torrent [06:13] musikgoat: dpkg -l [06:13] how do i send evolution to tray [06:14] Evanlec, no, just an option you set in the config, its actually low-latency, btw are you using an amd64 chip? [06:14] Has anyone had issues with sound services refusing to start after upgrading to gutsy? [06:14] dystopianray: thanks [06:14] defrysk: upgrade as of make fresh install [06:14] how do i regenerate the initrd? [06:14] WHen i try to use torrent it says port is blacklisted [06:14] kilopopo, desktop effect on a legacy nvidia card , unlikely to work smooth [06:14] I can't wait for 8.04. I honestl think i'm going to stick to the LTS's so I don't have to troubleshoot everything. [06:14] is there any other way to upgrade from a cd ? [06:14] clusty, oic [06:14] how can i get intl clock applet [06:14] MasterShrek, no im using Pentium D 2.8ghz @ ~3.4ghz [06:14] ah [06:14] Flannel: That is the next LTS release? [06:14] is there any way for me to install gutsy fresh from the cd while keeping all my documents etc. intact? [06:15] n2diy: yes [06:15] Flannel: no way ... just because it's LTS to LTS ... are you sure it'll can be done? [06:15] n2diy, Yes [06:15] has anyone gotten TrueCrypt Working? [06:15] When i try using a torrent it says port blacklisted how do i change port im using [06:15] DShepherd: were you ever able to fix that issue [06:15] suupaabaka: if you put /home on its own partition [06:15] IcemanV9: yes. LTS to LTS is supported (or will be, anyway) [06:15] IcemanV9, Gutsy is not LTS [06:15] suupaabaka, only if you have set up a seperate /home partition set up [06:15] which torrent app are you using? [06:15] Flannel: Jordan_U, I can wait. :) [06:15] gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade " not workin how come? [06:15] suupaabaka, before you start the install, mount your partition, and remove all the folders except /home then do the install and dont format it [06:15] how can i get intl clock applet [06:15] the one that came with this ubuntu [06:15] !backup | suupaabaka [06:15] defrysk: can't complain about anything. maybe besides suspends, which wont make a difference if i reinstall. so can i stay put? [06:15] suupaabaka, make sure you unmount the partition before you start the install [06:15] dWho, Is it giving an error? [06:16] Jordan_U_: i know. thanks. :) [06:16] Jordan_U_ : no messages whatsoever [06:16] nothing [06:16] suupaabaka, you may also need to remove the .gnome and .gnome2 folders in your users home directory [06:16] nkrypd1: i had the same problem, so i switched to kubuntu [06:16] burikkkkkkkkkkkkkk [06:16] MasterShrek: you don't have to do that. You just tell the installer not to format the partition in gparted [06:16] defrysk, he can also just install to a new partition like i did, and just mount the old installation and transfer stuff over [06:16] *ktorrent [06:16] Wow... sounds complicated. [06:16] !backup [06:16] Flannel: then i am interested. :) [06:16] dWho, Is it exiting? [06:16] gutsy install on my laptop gave me a black screen. disappointing. [06:16] nope... just nothing happens... [06:16] nickrud, nope [06:16] so how do i kno if my vid cards are enabled? [06:16] thedonvaughn, not if he wants a fresh install [06:16] no dialog [06:16] no nohing [06:17] nickrud, upgrading to gutsy has been a pain [06:17] DShepherd: sorry then [06:17] pazsion: do you see anything on the screen? [06:17] Evanlec, that why i did the !backup which did not work :9 [06:17] Jordan_U_ : any idea? [06:17] both on my desktop and on my laptop [06:17] i see everything i'm doing [06:17] MasterShrek: i do it all the time, what do u mean? You setup the partitions you setup your /home to be mounted, just not formated. That way all the data in the /home partition is in tact. [06:17] how do i make the clock look like this http://www.novell.com/connectionmagazine/2007/q2/img/tt6_02.gif [06:17] would i benefit much from a fresh install anyway? [06:17] dWho, But does it "finish", do you get back to a prompt? [06:17] pazsion: then your video cards are working [06:17] defrysk, what? [06:17] lol [06:17] oh, usplash being a buggy piece of crap as usual [06:17] nickrud, i had to revert to a clean install for two of them [06:17] Evanlec, nm , I need a break [06:17] ;S [06:17] Pie-rate, Install splashy [06:17] lol [06:17] thedonvaughn, if his /home dir isnt on a seperate partition [06:17] so i can also have multiple monitors? [06:17] Pie-rate, http://splashy.alioth.debian.org/wiki/ubuntu [06:18] MasterShrek: well then how can you unmount it? You're the one who said that [06:18] absolute nuthouse here [06:18] Jordan_U_ : use alt+f2 then typed it in the box.. nothing happen [06:18] nickrud, know anything about usplash setting its resolutions? [06:18] DShepherd: bummer. At least only one belongs to me, but that's not saying much [06:18] MasterShrek: unless i'm confused [06:18] thedonvaughn, forget it [06:18] dWho, Start it from a terminal [06:18] DShepherd: I disable usplash myself. [06:18] Jordan_U_: why doesn't usplash ever work? [06:18] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [06:18] nickrud, well not really... cause the upgrade borked before you stepped it [06:18] Torrent clients: Azureus (Java), BitTornado (Shell with python front-end), KTorrent (KDE/Qt), rTorrent (C++) - Bittorent FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html [06:18] <|neon|> my ays back on mirc they had a plugin moo.dll that will show sys info in the channel, is there something like that still [06:18] nickrud, why is everyone doing that? [06:18] I just upgraded to Gutsy from Feisty and I am having a ton of problems. Compiz settings do not work. My mouse somehow became super sensitive (and I cannot seem to find how to reduce the sensitivity) -- can anyone help me on this? [06:18] Pie-rate, Works for me, I just don't like that it is half impossible to create a new theme for it [06:18] thedonvaughn, u mount the original root partition, and delete all the other dirs /bin /etc /sys ... and then unmount it and start the install without formatting [06:19] Jordan_U_ : yes... nothing happens then back to the prompt [06:19] whats the command to show mounted devices? [06:19] mount [06:19] DShepherd: disabling usplash? For me, it's an fglrx bug [06:19] CapaH, mouse sensitivity is set in preferences [06:19] Pie-rate, with splashy it couldn't be easier, in fact splashy > usplash in every way I can think of :) [06:19] how do i make the clock look like this http://www.novell.com/connectionmagazine/2007/q2/img/tt6_02.gif [06:19] Jordan_U_: on one computer the monitor says "out of range," on my laptop it just gives a black screen [06:19] nickrud, oh ok. understood. [06:19] prince, mount [06:19] MasterShrek: oh i see. didn't realize /home wasn't on a seperate partition. But yah in that case i'd go one more step and create another partition and copy /home to it then format over everything.. :) [06:19] haru: I believe that's the international clock applet [06:19] ook lets see if reboot will bring up other monitor on nvidia... [06:19] tronyx, package name? [06:20] Jordan_U_ : any idea ? [06:20] mmm... I'm feckin BAKED and im chillin with a rum n coke... bring on the questions [06:20] nickrud, well i am trying to reset mine to its correct resolution.. but editing the /etc/usplash.conf file is not enough [06:20] Jordan_U_: hmm [06:20] nickrud, am i missing a step? [06:20] * nickrud makes a uncritical note to look at splashy [06:20] Pie-rate, That sounds like a frame buffer problem rather than a usplash problem, but try splashy anyway [06:20] thedonvaughn, yea, well i didnt know if his /home dir was on a different partition anyways, and i forgot who was asking too lol [06:20] MasterShrek: heh [06:20] ahhhh why do random people keep saying my name, i think you mean troxor? [06:20] silent: I went to the kde control panel to the mouse settings and I can only set acceleration to 1.0 (no lower) and I can only set threshold to 20 (no higher ) ---- even with these settings my mouse is WAY too sensitive --- also, I cannot change ANY of the compiz settings [06:20] me ;D [06:20] hey....any of you upgrade to gutsy AND are an avid user of automatix? last few times i upgraded to new ubuntu distros everything got screwed up and someone told me its because of automatix [06:20] X works, usplash doesn't. [06:20] DShepherd: possibly setting the vga= for the kernel line? That's just an uneducated guess, though [06:21] tronyx: sorry :) [06:21] can't upgrade from cd how come? [06:21] CapaH, I'm not familiar with kde, but you use a panel to control compiz right? [06:21] Pie-rate, X does not use the frame buffer :) [06:21] lol no worries troxor, we're just 2 cool people [06:21] Logicwax: Thats more than likely true, yes. Automatix breaks things. [06:21] Pie-rate, Do your tty's work? [06:21] hrmm...damn [06:21] haru: it doesn't look like it's in the default repos- one sec [06:21] Jordan_U_: yes. [06:21] Logicwax, automatix is crap, people that install it are total noobs and shouldnt be using linux because they arent learning anything [06:21] gusty was suposed to make automatix obsolete [06:21] tronyx, thanks a lot :D [06:21] !noob | MasterShrek [06:21] MasterShrek, You don't need to insult the people that use it [06:21] * riotkittie hides [06:21] ! automatx | Logicwax [06:21] haru .... troxor! HELP [06:21] automatix was obsolete the day it came out [06:21] MasterShrek, lol, thats pretty harsh ;p [06:21] * MasterShrek is a noob [06:21] when i type !resolution into terminal it says command not found [06:22] haha [06:22] any chance I can reverse the damage of automatix? i like automatix because it does a lot of work for me when i setup a new system [06:22] troxor, sozz.. thanks a lot [06:22] lol [06:22] nickrud: good call [06:22] Logicwax: no. there is no reversal. there is only clean install. [06:22] nkryptd1, !resolution is a command for ubotu :) [06:22] ubotu isnt around... [06:22] Logicwax, should be able to just remove the stuff it installs using it, then uninstall it... [06:22] !resolution | nkryptd1 [06:22] i miss ubotu [06:22] wheres ubotu? that never happens lol [06:22] Jordan_U_ : i'm back to the prompt after issuing the command [06:22] especially today, he must be getting overworked, needed a vacation or something [06:23] I dont see why you wouldnt do a reinstall anyway... backup your /home and config files and reinstall [06:23] or theyre probably just updating his factoids for the new release [06:23] im trying to change my resolution its not workign i have no idea wtf im doing with the terminal [06:23] haha yea [06:23] ! Ubotu [06:23] silent: The option for the compiz control panel is in the menu --- but it never loads [06:23] hi [06:23] nkrypd1: PM me [06:23] Anyone know what the next LTS version of Ubuntu is going to be? [06:23] nkryptd1: thats how you learn [06:23] DIguana: 8.04 [06:23] DIguana: 8.04 [06:23] DIguana: 8.[4567] [06:23] DIguana: hardy herron [06:23] heh [06:23] haru: your best bet is to wait until it becomes available: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/intlclock if you're impatient, you can check getdeb.net, to see if there's a package available sooner (but be aware these aren't official packages). if you're really impatient, you can scrounge up the source and compile it yourself :) [06:24] CapaH, I'd recommend a clean install... the amount of time the upgrade will take you could have everything up and running on clean [06:24] i'm going to stick to calling it 8.04 or risk total embarassment. D: === Erik__ is now known as enoex [06:24] CapaH, really not kidding, just back up your /home and config files and clean [06:24] IMHO - Ubuntu has gone waaaahhhhhh,,,,, information overload, to upgrade or not to upgrade, I would love to have the option to take modules from one kernel and port it into the new kernel, things get buggy- note for kernel team:ATI Radion 200 fails on some systems, esp. Celeron D - And it drops support for some processors - esp Geode 200/300mhz - what happened to a massive driver database??? I have lots of questions - I have been using [06:24] MasterShrek, dont u think that guide u gave me is a little old? 6.10? or do u think its fine? [06:24] hardy herron? Why not happy hippo? [06:24] Jordan_U_: damnit, the splash screen is the first thing a new user sees when they install ubuntu. it really pisses me off that they can't get it right. it's broken for me one way or another on at least 3 separate computers [06:24] silent : but all the application need to be reinstalled again [06:24] !ubotu [06:24] lol, riotkittie [06:24] troxor, ahh.. the source is broken then T_T [06:24] I agree silent [06:24] dWho, reeeeaaally easy to get them back [06:24] meta-paonia: You might file bugs about the regressions [06:24] are the mirrors down? cause i can't install anything? [06:24] its not like windows [06:24] Evanlec, its the one i followed, works just fine, makes deb packages for the kernel and headers, and when u install them it adds entries to grub [06:24] silent : still would take time [06:24] Pie-rate, Does splashy work for you? [06:24] what cd ripper has the most file configurations available? on windows I used to use dbpoweramp [06:24] jrib: got a question for you in #ubuntu-classroom [06:25] hell, you could make a script to get all the programs you need set up [06:25] Jordan_U_: haven't tried it [06:25] Each set up is its own [06:25] Jordan_U_: if splashy is better, why isn't it used? [06:25] MasterShrek, cool cool, was just wonderin about step 1.1 [06:25] im seeding for xubuntui386 :d [06:25] nkryptd1: you still here? [06:25] backup config files for the programs, usually stored in /home anyway.... and make an apt-get script to get all your custom programs [06:25] silent: Well, I already DID the upgrade, so -- I would rather just get it working from here [06:25] Pie-rate, I have no idea, been wondering that myself [06:25] can anyone tell me why gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade " not working ? [06:25] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [06:25] !paste [06:25] Evanlec, yea dont worry about that one, i didnt do it, everything else shold be fine, skip the patches thing unless you are patching your kernel, which i doubt u are [06:25] im trying to access a samba share from windows, i can see the machine but when im prompted to authenticate, it doesnt take the info, like if the password was wrong, but i set is using smbpasswd [06:25] Has anyone else noticed that the Gnome Deskbar Applet seems to have had several features removed this time around? I can't get it to give me an area to type in the bar itself and it no longer seems to be able to look up Wikipedia entries, which was what I mostly used it for. Does anyone know how to restore this functionality? [06:26] what can i try to be able to connect? [06:26] diabolix - servers are slow - people are upgrading - I just installed a few packages from feisty main and it was really slow but it did the job [06:26] ubotu is lagging? !help [06:26] change your servers [06:26] just a random comment... my old handwritten xorg.conf with some slight modifications fixed all my problems with compiz in gutsy [06:26] MasterShrek, yea im all set with patching [06:26] Hilikus, try setting security = share in /etc/samba/smb.conf and then restarting samba [06:26] Hilkis: did you do a $sudo smbpasswd -e user_name? [06:26] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [06:26] !doesntwork dWho [06:26] Anyone got a nice wallpaper to recommend? [06:26] !doesntwork | dWho [06:26] hehe !ubuotu [06:27] hye.. what is diff. between ubuntu and gobuntu [06:27] MasterShrek, jimmygoon no luck with any other players also [06:27] XsteelWolf, check out www.caedes.net they got lots of em, or gnome-look.org [06:27] adlisyakir, it's the u and go lol [06:27] still i couldn't see video file running in the projector output [06:27] indraveni, are u using nvidia? [06:27] MasterShrek i have security = user commented out [06:27] Apic of bill gates crying?..backround. [06:27] nickrud : any idea? [06:27] whats security = share? [06:27] dWho: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [06:27] Hilikus, change it to security=share and uncomment it [06:27] MasterShrek, no, its i810 [06:27] dWho: without more information [06:27] Is there a way to burn all of the updates as they are downloaded onto a cdrw so I can use them again after reinstalling? [06:27] indraveni, then i dont know for sure, if it was nvidia it would be easy [06:28] help! I can't upgrade to 7.10! The installer requires 2801M of free space on /. Anyone? [06:28] indraveni, what if you close the screen on the laptop? [06:28] well, ubotu's only a minute late [06:28] Augusta: free some space? [06:28] how do i update from 7.04 to 7.10? [06:28] Augusta, get a bigger hard drive you nub [06:28] can't upgrade from a cd using gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" nothing happens after issuing the command [06:28] Augusta, you must have had alot of programs installed lol [06:28] dWho: try gksudo [06:28] MasterShrek, actually in my laptop, its not toggeling the laptop screen with the projector screen with Fn+F7 [06:28] mmm, nub... [06:28] 2.8GB to update?? wow [06:28] Can you upgrade my mounting the iso? [06:28] MasterShrek, i have only one option to use on both the screens [06:28] sorsis: Run the Update Manager. It's in your System>Administration menu. [06:28] nickrud, They do the same thing by default on Ubuntu [06:29] later all [06:29] Hilikus, this is why I got the prerelease... I got all my updates before the mirrors started getting raped [06:29] There'll be a button there that'll let you upgrade. [06:29] indraveni, does anything show up on the projector? [06:29] have a gutsy system operational [06:29] indraveni - your laptop may have multiple moniter support [06:29] nickrud : back at prompt nothing happens should I get a dialog after issuing the command? [06:29] silent, tru.dat [06:29] Is there a way to burn all of the updates as they are downloaded onto a cdrw so I can use them again after reinstalling? [06:29] Jordan_U: I know, but it's easy to switch and some people don't remember doing it [06:29] yea im running gutsy with all my progs just fine :) [06:29] nickrud, To actually get the functionality of gksu you have run "gksu --su-mode" [06:29] silent you still needed 2.8gbs to store them [06:29] adlisyakir: did you get your answer? Things are moving to fast for me to keep up. [06:30] MasterShrek, I am able to view my desktop in projector [06:30] Jordan_U: or run gksu-settings [06:30] every time I free space it asks for more... I do have a lot of programs, but I think it shouldnt happen, since upgrade from edgy to feisty worked OK [06:30] Hilikus, on a computer with 120 gb on it I'm not concerned [06:30] repo is slooooooow. [06:30] indraveni, start the movie and close the laptop monitor [06:30] jrib: another question :-D [06:30] Jordan_U_: at least I think I remember that [06:30] I also have a 1TB server I could mount in smb to extend any portion [06:30] Is there a way to burn all of the updates as they are downloaded onto a cdrw so I can use them again after reinstalling???>:o [06:30] hey i installed gutsy gibbon fresh and my keyboard doesnt work on the system [06:30] :-D [06:30] dWho: not sure, but try sudo /cdrom/... [06:30] Augusta, it probably just has to download that much in packages [06:30] any insight? [06:30] tuntun, you could backup your package files [06:31] They need to make apt use P2P for downloads. That'd prevent things from slowing to a crawl on Upgrade Day. [06:31] tuntun, I can't remember where they are stored, however [06:31] DIguana, that would be a HUGE security risk [06:31] * nickrud used a beta disk, been here before [06:31] Owner_ is it a USB keyboard [06:31] indeed it would [06:31] ps2 but the mouse is usb [06:31] silent: somethin' automated tho... [06:31] and the mouse works [06:31] * riotkittie hugs her tribe5 iso [06:31] tuna-fish: save /var/cache/apt/archives [06:31] tuntun, all you would have to do is install... with a simple bash script [06:32] erm, tuntun ^^ [06:32] * MasterShrek hugs his warty warthog cd [06:32] Owner_ you might try plugging in a usb keyboard [06:32] silent: probably still too complex for me:-D [06:32] * IcemanV9 used RC iso; not much to update since then. :) [06:32] MasterShrek, close the laptop monitor means ? switch off the laptop manitor or toggle? [06:32] would be nice if i had one lol [06:32] nickrud: yeah, i get it, we look so alike :) [06:32] MasterShrek: so upgrading from an alternate cd won't solve my problem? [06:32] MasterShrek, toggeling is not working in my laptop [06:32] nickrud : is there a script inside the cd named cdromupgrade.sh? [06:32] I having problems to use oficial repos, they are slow. Why? [06:32] * nickrud wishes he still had warty (and wonders at the 'noob' claim with warty ;) [06:32] tuntun, I could make the script for you if you give me the package names [06:32] indraveni, i dont know if it would work or not, worth a try though [06:33] dWho: don't know, I thought you did ;) [06:33] ok i will try and get a usb to ps2 adapter for the mouse be back in a bit and ill let you know how it worked out [06:33] cabezza: uhhh. because 7.10 was just released, maybe [06:33] Augusta, i dont know for sure, it may [06:33] never done it that way Augusta [06:33] anyone know if the SB600 induced kernel crash has been fixed yet? [06:33] oh good god mary jane makes music so lovely [06:33] cabezza: because a couple of dozens of millions are upgrading to gutsy [06:33] tuntun, apt-cd [06:33] * abhibera is on Gutsy! :) [06:33] MasterShrek, why would it be a security risk, games like wow use BT for patches and updates, isint it the same principle? [06:33] indraveni - you may need to setup xinearama and drag the video to the second screen [06:33] nickrud : i was just askin because the command gksu or sudo or gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" doen't do anyting.. [06:33] tuntun, nvm, that's not what I meant [06:34] I dont see compiz in gconf-editor why????? [06:34] nickrud : i have my cd mounted... [06:34] haru: still want the applet? [06:34] meta-paonia, how to do that ? [06:34] is this the right channel for problems with the fiesty 7.10 upgrade? [06:34] dWho: ls /cdrom , do you see it? (but if it wasn't there and sudo was working as expected, you'd get an error) [06:34] catid: yes [06:34] abhibera: how do you like gutsy so far [06:34] MasterShrek, to my bad luck, there is no monitor switch off button in my laptop [06:34] tuntun, aptoncd [06:35] dWho: try sudo ls (just those two words) [06:35] Dyus, no, in torrents the files need to be the same, p2p they dont, and i would never download a package off of someone who i didnt know, thats why they have gpg keys and stuff [06:35] hanging on Backing up any LVM2 metadata that may exist... [06:35] indraveni - what version are you running [06:35] > [06:35] indraveni, just close the lid [06:35] !aptoncd | tuntun [06:35] tuntun: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers [06:35] im in dapper drake guys and I cant find compiz in aps in gconf-editor why???? [06:35] haru: I built a quick and dirty package for it if you're interested [06:35] silent: EVERY update... so I can get a reinstall up to date without having to spend 2 hours dl'ing [06:35] adminn: cuz compiz is much newer than dapper [06:35] are compiz questions still covered in #ubuntu-effects? [06:35] meta-paonia, debian etch [06:35] nickrud : no cdromupgrade script... [06:35] adminn, do compiz configuration though the gui [06:35] adminn: you sure? dapper drake? [06:35] umm.. the bottom half of the screen is missing (booting as live cd 7.10 on old laptop) [06:36] adminn, i would upgrade, but u could probably install from source if you really wanted to [06:36] yes its dapper installed myself [06:36] dWho: live cd?

[06:37] thanatan, it is possible your iso is corrupt, use the self check [06:37] im stuck at that part [06:37] thanatan, u may have to use the alternate cd, or if theres a way to disable the splash screen on that cd [06:37] 7<<<<<<< [06:37] adminn: no [06:37] Jordan_U_: Sorry, I cant keep up!!! [06:38] how do I install it? [06:38] is it possible to configure compiz to use a different desktop image for each side of the cube?

[06:41] nkryptd1: adept is the package manager for kde, you can find ktorrent to download there [06:41] eh really don't have time to debug the lvm2 package myself tonight. it would be nice if someone else has figured out a work-around [06:41] Jordan_U_: yeah I think its just gaim being no configured prope;y... no time to cahnge it now [06:41] how to make floppy bootloader in windows that i can use to my ubuntu? [06:41] im having trouble getting any information off of my second hard drive. it shows the drive when i go into computer file browser, but when i click it, i get an admin pop-up window on the toolbar then it disappears and nothing happens, i cant access it [06:41] Reng, Have you tried System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager? [06:41] anyone else having problems with the java plugin? [06:41] OrTigaS: this isn't a windows help channel [06:41] I never thought id switch back to Ubuntu but here I am thank you for the great distro. *Switched from Arch Linux* [06:41] *gasps* Floppy [06:42] indraveni, google for medibuntu and add those repos [06:42] All I need now if my ntfs drive working [06:42] same here [06:42] * pastyhermit is running ubuntu on his Dell Inspiron 5150 (with engineering problems care of Dell) [06:42] MasterShrek, I installed libdvdcss2 [06:42] TabooTreez, If you are using Gutsy it should work "out of the box" [06:42] dystopianray: its not windows problem [06:42] i want to boot from floppy [06:42] indraveni, well didnt u just say you wanted other formats? [06:42] to my ubuntu [06:42] Jordan_U: im on gusty doesnt work out of the box [06:42] hi. in the restricted drivers manager, i keep getting "The software source for the package xorg-driver-fglrx is not enabled." when i try to install my ati card's drivers in the restricted manager. what's happening? [06:42] Jordan_U_ restricted driver is on [06:42] OrTigaS: try googling for super grub boot disk. that's the best advice i can give you. there's a floppy versio.n. [06:42] OrTigaS: you want help doing something in windows, that is what #windows is for [06:43] OrTigaS, ubuntu will take about 600 floppies [06:43] MasterShrek, I have al the other formats [06:43] OrTigaS: you want to create a boot floppy [06:43] or do you want to boot from a floppy? [06:43] nvm then indraveni =) [06:43] MasterShrek, but i am not able to play any format in projector [06:43] im on gusty, and one ntfs file system works, and the second harddrive doesnt [06:43] IcemanV9:lol [06:43] i want to boot from floppy [06:43] TabooTreez, Try installing ntfs-config, or changing your fstab [06:43] OrTigaS: check your BIOS settings [06:43] I'm currently using 7.04. what's the advantage to doing fresh install of 7.10, as opposed to upgrading? Thank you [06:43] err sorry CMOS Settings [06:43] i did === Generic is now known as Ashex [06:43] dga: system->admin->software sources, tick (restricted) [06:43] bluebanana, nothing really [06:44] he wants to create a GRUB boot disk [06:44] blueeraser: check /etc/fstab, see if there are two lines containing ntfs-3g [06:44] hitting F1 or F2 or Del [06:44] dga: then do an update [06:44] gutsy seeds are low today [06:44] i have ubuntu on my external drive [06:44] then set the boot sequence in the CMOS [06:44] Someone please help me out, i was midway through a gusty install and the manager crashed half way though installing the software packages. Now im not sure what state my system is in. It shows as not needing updates, but all of the software never finished installing and it destroyed some of my previous applications. Does someone know what i can do to know if i fully upgraded to gusty? [06:44] i have a problem with my external monitor...im using a DVI cable connected to my laptop...and this blurry shadelike bouncy thing appears in the lower left corner...but not when i load windows [06:44] nickrud: thanks [06:44] yes kids, sorry to disappoint you... I'm afraid linux does still require some know-how.. but no more than figuring out how to do things in windows.. suck it up, its a part of the linux experience, and a cost I'd gladly pay for such high-quality programming [06:44] bluebanana: hard to say which has more issues here [06:44] bluebanana, Upgrading right now will take a looong time since the repos are bogged down :) [06:44] i want to use it to other machine that won't boot from usb/ [06:44] MasterShrek, If there's no advantage to doing fresh install of 7.10, as opposed to upgrading, then why is it advised in some places on ubuntu forums? [06:44] silent: *sucking it up* [06:44] zak: `apt-get -f install` [06:44] nickrud, what do you mean? [06:44] silent: stop that you're going to make them cry! [06:44] so one of my PCs (dell dimension 3100) is unable to do any network stuff now after a fresh install of gutsy.. i've tried configuring the interface manually using ifconfig, and can't ping the default gateway IP.. any ideas / suggestions? [06:44] ok ill try that [06:45] bluebanana: never mind me, Jordan_U hit the essential point [06:45] its like rawrite [06:45] Jordan_U, i don't mind. i'll just go to bed and let it complete in 24 hours!!! how do i upgrade [06:45] ia1, first time on linux? [06:45] Fred_Nerk: wired? wireless? [06:45] Fred_Nerk: does it show up in ifconfig? [06:45] wired [06:45] eth0 shows up in ifconfig [06:45] silent: the way I see it, it's a process more than a product, and it just so happens to be creating a product that in a few years will be better than anything proprietary :D [06:45] nickrud, you're saying the the biggest problem is download/upgrade speed? [06:45] silent: err.. high quality programming doesn't require you to edit config files.. or cause half the screen to be black [06:45] ifconfig eth0 172.16.40.204 netmask 255.255.255.0; ping 172.16.40.1 === q_a_z_steve_ is now known as q_a_z_steve [06:45] Fred_Nerk: are you running dhcp on your network? [06:45] MasterShrek, hmm the make menuconfig has a lottttaa options, maybe i should just mess with this tomorow... [06:45] pastyhermit, I remember my first encounter with linux.... only with time and experience will it become easier... one day they'll idle here and tell off newbies for not knowing basic stuff [06:45] but i wont feed the trolls [06:45] is the link light on ? [06:45] But isn't there any advantage to doing a fresh install to 7.10, as opposed to upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10? Thank you. [06:45] bluebanana: no, I was carping about seeing plenty of new install issues and upgrade issues here [06:45] pastyhermit: i'm running dhcp, and it won't get a lease.. no response from the dhcp server [06:45] is there a command to install all developers tools just like yum groupinstall "Developers Tools" ? [06:46] bluebanana, System -> Administration -> update manager :) [06:46] Evanlec, i just messed with the Processor Types and Features part [06:46] hmmm [06:46] the light is on, and ethtool shows it has a link [06:46] troxor, when i do that it says 0 upgraded 0 newly installed [06:46] MasterShrek, haha i see [06:46] Evanlec, you can go back and recompile again any time [06:46] pengo, then I charge you kind and generous sir, to write me a new operating system even better [06:46] anyone know how to get the icedtea plugin to work? their not working for me [06:46] XsteelWolf: sudo apt-get install build-essential [06:46] for java that is [06:46] XsteelWolf, sudo apt-get install build-essential [06:46] Fred_Nerk: check your link light [06:46] zak, also try `apt-get install ubuntu-desktop` [06:46] silent: not really, been using linux since ~1999. it still bugs me sometimes, but imagine how much better is has gotten in those years ;) [06:46] Jordan_U, that was easy. Thank you, amigo. [06:46] Evanlec, youll always have the config, and you can go back and trim out modules that you dont want [06:46] pastyhermit: it has a link light, and ethtool shows it has a link [06:46] also check to see what your switch is set to. [06:46] awww Evanlec is compiling a kernel. how cute. :D [06:46] Jordan_U, upgrade should be done in 20 hours, you reckon? [06:46] bluebanana: upgrade keeps and upgrades all your current packages, you don't have to reselect & reinstall. For me, that's the defining line [06:46] This is horrible how do you people not make flash work off the bat in your new release? It makes no sense. [06:46] XsteelWolf, That will get you gcc, make and the like, it won't get you a DE ( but that's why you have vim ;) [06:46] If you set it manually can you ping your gateway? [06:46] riotkittie, lol... [06:46] pastyhermit: i've tried leaving autoneg on, as well as forcing 100mb/full and 100mb/half duplex [06:46] silent: you gotta be kidding me.. not after where it got those beos folk [06:46] whenever i try installing a package tonight my terminal gets stuck in this line:[Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.31)] [06:46] How can I change whether Ubuntu asks for a password when I close my lid on my laptop? [06:46] ia1, it's incredible. [06:46] anyone know why ? [06:46] nickrud, what sort of upgrade issues are there? [06:47] troxor, says newest version, but durring the install it crashed [06:47] Fred_Nerk: try 10 half [06:47] to start [06:47] Avariel, the Ubuntu servers are busy because of the launch [06:47] pastyhermit: yeah ok i'll give that a go [06:47] riotkittie, i talked him into it :) [06:47] Avariel: because the repositories are getting slammed [06:47] Avariel: overloaded servers [06:47] so would it be a question of waiting it out ? [06:47] hello all.. well, i have downloaded 7.10, and i put my cd in to install it, and when i select "install or run ubuntu", my screen goes blank... and it keeps reading for a while.. stays blank. then eventually just sits there blank. i have a nvidia 8800 GTS.. [06:47] nickrud, is there a way to do an upgrade that mimics a fresh install? [06:47] bluebanana: incomplete ones, many traceable to automatix & envy I believe. [06:47] novanosis: flash is proprietary, sometimes it's hard to make proprietary things work. note that Microsoft didn't make it work in Windows, Adobe did... [06:47] Avariel, yeah, nothing much to do until all the traffic dies down [06:47] riotkittie, cant download packages, gotta do something right? =) [06:47] pengo, don't complain about linux. A lot of talent has been put into it [06:47] troxor: my gaim install was somehow messed up and my cpu use has been through the roof when no applications are running === gustavo is now known as GuHHH [06:47] LoL [06:47] bluebanana: the upgrade mimes just fine [06:47] How can I change whether Ubuntu asks for a password when I close my lid on my laptop? [06:48] nickrud, i don't have automatix and envy. will that mean that i'm pretty safe? [06:48] zak, I'd say the best bet would be to rsync your homedir and anything of value, and wipe stuff- but this isn't the only option [06:48] nickrud, "mimes"? [06:48] damn....worst part is my attempt at upgrading failed miserably when it came to external output through dvi to monitor [06:48] nickrud, what do you mean? [06:48] CoasterMaster, power settings i believe, u got a little battery in your tray? [06:48] troxor: thats what i am thinking [06:48] CoasterMaster, check the screensaver/power management sections [06:48] CoasterMaster: try System > Preferences > Power Management [or something along those lines] [06:48] can anyone help me? [06:48] ooh! [06:48] !ask [06:48] silent, pengo: or complain, if you want, won't change anything. the train is-a-rollin' :D [06:48] Java has finished downloading :D [06:48] bluebanana: Worked For Me™ (no envy or automatix here either) And mime <-> mimic [06:48] So for a new user as myself you expect me to just use 32bit version? If someone has the time the patience and the will to help me then let me know. I would greatly appreciate it [06:48] volantares: whats ur problem [06:48] volantares, can you disable splash screen? [06:49] how do I pass an argument to nautilus at startup? [06:49] ooh! Development enviroment here we come ! [06:49] MasterShrek, silent, riotkittie, I looked there, but there's no option for it (just to blank screen) [06:49] troxor: durring install a bunch of applicaitons failed to install including ftp and ubuntu-desktop, but now it says latest version so im not really sure what happened [06:49] I want to run nautilus --no-desktop but I can't figure out how [06:49] wtvr: well i've already written it... MasterShrek: how would i do that? (i'm new).. i had similar problems with 7.04, but i got around it by defining resolutions. that doesn't work for 7.10 [06:49] why is sudo apt-get update after adding repositorys taking so long? [06:49] heartsblood: gconf-editor, navigate to /etc/nautilus/desktop or preferences , look for desktop [06:49] nickrud, great. thank you. my "update manager" looks like it's not making progress. Is this normal? [06:50] nickrud: ty [06:50] adminn, because the ubuntu servers are really busy because of the launch, see the /topic [06:50] bluebanana: busy servers, kick back and wait [06:50] added this [06:50] #Beryl Repositories for Dapper Drake (Ubuntu 6.06) [06:50] deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ dapper main [06:50] novanosis: sorry I'm not following who is talking to you... the 32bit version of linux? are you using the 64 bit one and noting that flash doesn't work? [06:50] volantares, hit f6 or something on that menu screen, check out different options, i think theres a way to disable splash [06:50] adminn, your sources arent right? [06:50] nickrud, more like "sleep back and wait" ! 8-) [06:50] isnt beryl /dead/ ? [06:50] troxor, can i message you [06:50] volantares, Have you tried removing the spash parameter at boot? [06:50] riotkittie, it is merged [06:50] its a 404!!! omfg [06:50] rofl [06:50] How do i save something when i use gui text editor and save a /etc/file it says that i have insufficient priviledges [06:50] bluebanana: heh [06:50] Is anyone having trouble byte compiling emacs22 in Gutsy? [06:50] what do I do now????? [06:50] XsteelWOlf gksu gedit [06:51] whats that stupid gnome command to get the trash and home an dcomputer on my desktop [06:51] ial yes im using the 64 bit Gutsy and FLASH is not working off the bat, and I read that it should. Then I try some simple "scripts" to no avil. [06:51] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Xgl-Compiz-Dapper ??? [06:51] XsteelWolf, you need to use sudo to edit files in there, save it somewhere else then sudo mv the file [06:51] gconf-settings or somethingn. [06:51] is it a known issue with nvidia cards? [06:51] btw? [06:51] Are the medibuntu repos down? [06:51] MasterShrek, I tried taking out splash and quiet, and it started to load the kernel to 7% then got stuck, so Im guessing the iso is curropt, but i did the md5sum to check it, but the site doesnt have the hash's for ubuntu 7.10, anways i got this, d2334dbba7313e9abc8c7c072d2af09c ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso, maybe someone else has it that can compare? [06:51] XsteelWolf: you would start the editor with gksudo (like gsudo gedit. never use sudo for gui apps) [06:51] how do i use sudo to edit if im gui [06:51] I need compiz [06:51] novanosis, that has always a problem, sorry they advertised that [06:51] XsteelWolf, gksu [06:51] pastyhermit: you can do it with gnome configuration editor [06:51] XsteelWolf: open up a terminal [06:51] aka beryl lol [06:51] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). If I plug it in at the command line I get the error "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62". [06:52] XsteelWolf, There is also a nautilus script to add it as a right click option [06:52] ok, well i'll go and try that. thanks MasterShrek and Jordan_U [06:52] beryl != compiz && compiz !=compiz-fusion [06:52] XsteelWolf: or isit that you want to use a gui editor? [06:52] thanatan, md5 looks fine [06:52] MasterShrek, k im setting 3 options, processor type to p4..the 1000hz thing, and the Preemptible Kernel (low-latency desktop) option [06:52] yea gui editor [06:52] can anyone tell me: What are the advantages, if any, of doing a fresh install of Ubuntu 7.10, when one can do an upgrade? Thank you.. [06:52] how should I get compiz guys?????<<<< [06:52] Blama, you sure that's the keyboard? [06:52] Evanlec, sweet, good luck :) [06:52] Hi - Is it ok to share a printer on my linux box to my locall network? I have (3) computers on my local network - (2) Linux & (1) Windoze - they all are hoioked to the same router that the broadband inter signal is always on. If I do this - my listen box warned that a certain port would be open to the internet. Ok to do or not ok? [06:52] join #compiz-fusion [06:52] adminn: is it not in the repos? [06:52] silent, What do you mean? [06:52] riotkittie: a well written bash line [06:52] Evanlec, u did remember to load your previous config right? [06:52] I can access the ntfs filesystem on the drive i partitioned 7.10 onto, but i cant access my other drive... any suggestions? [06:52] :D [06:52] or follow the directions to do it... [06:52] I added to repo but I got a 404 from term lmao [06:53] MasterShrek, yea...pretty sure i did that right... [06:53] cool [06:53] Blama, how do you know the error is on the keyboard and not another usb device? [06:53] either sudo aptitude install compiz-gnome OR compile the source of compiz [06:53] #Beryl Repositories for Dapper Drake (Ubuntu 6.06) [06:53] deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ dapper main [06:53] MasterShrek: did you get the other thing i said? [06:53] Evanlec, the worst that can happen is it doesnt compile and u have to try again lol [06:53] oh, I have an amd 64 computer. how can i upgrade from 7.04 32 bit to 7.10 64 bit? Thank you. [06:53] riotkittie: thanks [06:53] i can see the drive in the file browser [06:53] adminn, are you still running 6.06? [06:53] silent, Because mty mouse works fine [06:53] MasterShrek, kk [06:53] adminn: no. not in a third party repo, in the actual ubuntu repos. you said you were on dapper, someone said its in the dapper repos [06:53] bluebanana: reinstall [06:53] bluebanana: no!!! [06:53] XsteelWolf: why not just use vi or nano or something like that? [06:53] alpha, It's not available to the internet if you are NAT'd ( behind a router ) [06:53] thanatan, no, what? [06:53] abhibera, "no" to what? to what nickrud said? [06:53] wow [06:53] <[Ramy]> how i can use ubufox ? [06:54] bluebanana: obviously very different compilers were used for making the 32 bit and 64 it versions. u will have to reinstall [06:54] Who can tell me how to view the nvidia menu and see if gutsy can show me my info on the card? [06:54] ubufox? [06:54] dapper drake ya [06:54] MasterShrek, I tried taking out splash and quiet, and it started to load the kernel to 7% then got stuck, so Im guessing the iso is curropt, but i did the md5sum to check it, but the site doesnt have the hash's for ubuntu 7.10, anways i got this, d2334dbba7313e9abc8c7c072d2af09c ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso, maybe someone else has it that can compare? [06:54] bluebanana: you cant upgrade from a 32bit to a 64bit AFAIK. i may be wrong, but i think you have to do a clean install [06:54] hey guys, I'm really IMPRESSED by the effort made in Gutsy, congratulations!!!! :D [06:54] pastyhermit: ok i forced the interface to 10/half and i can see traffic with tcpdump, but still can't seem to send anything.. pinging the default gateway shows nothing on eth0, but it shows up the EUNREACH messages if i do "tcpdump -i any -n icmp" [06:54] how do i run nano in gui other than terminal? [06:54] [Ramy], Applications -> Add / Remove :) [06:54] I cant mount my ntfs partition on gusty can anyone help? [06:54] thanatan_, i told u the md5 looked fine, u may just have to use the alternate cd [06:54] you dont run nano in the gui [06:54] XsteelWolf, gksudo gedit /path/to/file [06:54] I have a small question tho... ^^; is there another way to optimize my system up a little more, other than tuning up the ext3 fs ? [06:54] does anyone else think that 1330 people in one chat room is too many? [06:54] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). If I plug it in at the command line I get the error "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62". [06:54] riotkittie, i think that is incorrect...u must clean install for 64-bit [06:54] nickrud: now when i go to restricted manager, i get "could not apply changes! fix broken packages first." when i try to install my ati driver. any thoughts on this one? [06:54] XsteelWolf: you might as well get used to the idea that if you run ubuntu, you'll become familiar with a terminal [06:54] should i install 64 bit ubuntu if i have a 64 bit computer? I think a year or 6 months ago, I was told to just use 32 bit. Please advise a newbie. Thank you [06:54] riotkittie, you are right, u cannot upgrade 32 to 64 [06:55] DARKGuy, Feed it powerthirst [06:55] taboo, can you see the drive in the file browser? [06:55] MasterShrek: oh must've not seen what you said, sorry, and I'm downloading the alternate cd, thanks for the help [06:55] Evanlec: think what is incorrect? o_O [06:55] dga: in a terminal, sudo apt-get update (first) [06:55] nickrud: did that [06:55] Jordan_U, lol, if they'd only sell it here :p [06:55] bluebanana: 64 bit is for the geek factor [06:55] bluebanana, stick with 32bit [06:55] bluebanana: 32 bit is the safer choice [06:55] nickrud, nano can't search and replace and can't jump to line [06:55] terminals are awesome. say it with me, kids. [06:55] thanatan_, i said it to thanatan without the _ =) [06:55] DARKGuy, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRuNxHqwazs [06:55] If I reinstall, what should I do with my personal files (in home directory. e.g. music, docs, etc) [06:55] dga: same terminal, sudo apt-get -f install [06:55] Jordan_U_ - Good to go then - running a very nice D-Link Gigabit Wireless router - looking at security in the router looks great - thx bunch... [06:55] bluebanana: be prepared to sacrifice functionality of ur h/w === thanatan_ is now known as thanatan [06:55] Madpilot, why should i stick with 32 bit ubuntu if i have 64 bit computer? [06:55] bluebanana: I'd write them to a dvd/cd [06:55] ia1: that's normal around the release day ... it'll tamper down a bit later [06:55] Who can tell me how to view the nvidia menu and see if gutsy can show me my info on the card? [06:55] riotkittie, that he can upgrade from 32 to 64 [06:55] bluebanana: many h/w still don't use 64 bit drivers [06:55] ia1, how is 32 bit the safer choice? [06:55] * MasterShrek would make love to the cli if he could... [06:56] iceman: it worked now what? [06:56] bluebanana: do you have a usb drive? another partition you can copy them to? burn them to a dvd-rw ? [06:56] XsteelWolf: why not use a non-gui editor? once you learn them - they are great.. especially for config files and doing the things you mentioned [06:56] bluebanana: also Java and Flash isn't there for 64 [06:56] perverts everywhere I look [06:56] bluebanana, there is no reason except java in my option [06:56] icemanv9: it worked now what [06:56] bluebanana, because 64bit isn't as complete - esp. for stuff like Flash & Java [06:56] anyone have trouble with an external monitor ? there is this annoying mirrory bumpy glitch in my screen and its driving me mad [06:56] MasterShrek: oh haha, k, this channel is really crazy but really helpful [06:56] Evanlec: i didnt say it was correct. :P [06:56] bluebanana: u will have to use beta flash players which don't work as well [06:56] bluebanana, Most proprietary stuff doesn't work ( easily ) in 64 bit [06:56] bluebanana: stick with 32 [06:56] correction....Flash works FINE....java is the problem only [06:56] * xTheGoat121x agrees with MasterShrek... though not at the same time... or even to the same cli [06:56] you can still fool firefox into using a 32bit java [06:56] it actually depends on your hardware.... but most stuff works - my system is 64-bit and I have working java & FF (Swiftweasel) & flash and everything thanks to Kilz. [06:56] Madpilot, what else besides flash and java? [06:56] bluebanana: when 64 bit becomes the in thing [06:56] Jordan_U, what do you mean by "proprietary stuff" [06:56] IcemanV9: just seems that IRC isn't really able to handle this, so many conversation threads at once, just doesn't cope [06:56] bluebanana: then use it [06:56] vim is very good at search and replace and jumping to lines [06:56] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). If I plug it in at the command line I get the error "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62". [06:56] lol @ xTheGoat121x sloppy sudo seconds [06:56] however my webcam doesn't work with it :p [06:56] wtvr, i need search and replace function [06:57] so it has its downsides :P [06:57] adminn: there is setting/config manager somewhere ... i don't remember [06:57] !omg [06:57] abhibera, so you mean 64 bit isn't the in thing yet? I thought most comps being sold now are 64 bit, no? [06:57] i wouldnt go for the 64bit version unless you actually have need for it [06:57] MasterShrek, thsoe are the two main ones - propeitary apps like that [06:57] XsteelWolf: vim does search and replace no problem [06:57] ubuntu 7.10 is the first version in 3 years to boot up on this Dell Lattitude L400.. albiet a lot slower than 4.10 live cd did.. and only in safe-graphics mode [06:57] If I don't care about java or flash, should I go for 64 bit ubuntu? [06:57] this blind-like moving glitch i just dont know what its caused by ! its on my external monitor.. [06:57] bluebanana: no it's not yet the in thing. many programs and drivers are still for 32 bit processors [06:57] Madpilot, i dont have anything else besides java plugin in firefox working in 64 bit [06:57] im having trouble getting any information off of my second hard drive. it shows the drive when i go into computer file browser, but when i click it, i get an admin pop-up window on the toolbar then it disappears and nothing happens, i cant access it [06:57] DARKGuy, swiftweasel?!? That is practically an oxymoron given the point of iceweasel [06:57] wtvr, vim = vi? [06:57] Who can tell me how to view the nvidia menu and see if gutsy can show me my info on the card? [06:58] bluebanana: well most people have 32 bit, as someone was just saying, eg. Flash is hard to get working in 64 bit. why bother? if it runs a TINY bit faster meh. I wouldn't give up hours/days of my life solving problems, or live without certain technologies, just to know I'm "using my hardware to the fullest" [06:58] <[Ramy]> Jordan_U_ can i launch that from firefox ? [06:58] bluebanana, if u dont care about those then definitely [06:58] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). If I plug it in at the command line I get the error "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62". [06:58] bluebanana, yes, and flash will work with minor tweaking, actualyl gutsy can install it really easily [06:58] XsteelWolf: vi = very improved vi (or something like that) [06:58] Blama: i cant give you any answers here, but ... what kind of keyboard? [06:58] Jordan_U_/ubotu/silent/nickrud: So can APTonCD replace superceded packages dynamically on a cdrw?? [06:58] XsteelWolf: you can use the gui app for editing system files, just call it from a terminal so you can give it permission. gsudo gedit [06:58] Jordan_U, yeah, I dunno o,o it works and I like it... it's faster than FF and I can't remember why I didn't choose iceweasel before [06:58] riotkittie, COmpaq Multimedia [06:58] XsteelWolf: command for search and replace - :s/this/that/g [06:58] anyone have a solution for a feisty->gutsy upgrade gone awry? it seemed to be upgrading just fine with a couple of minor errors but then failed completely at about 80% during fetched upgrades installation [06:58] * MasterShrek is out, nite every1 === Veinor is now known as Veinor|away [06:58] nite MasterShrek === Veinor|away is now known as Veinor|ZzZ [06:58] DARKGuy, http://www.getswiftfox.org/ [06:58] why is the security repo disabled if I do an offline install?? [06:58] and it then tried to recover using dpkg or something [06:58] tuntun: no, you would need to build a custom cd. [06:58] Jordan_U, are u saying that cuz he's using flash? [06:58] enjoy your new 7.10's! [06:58] mscdex: why did u upgrade? u know it's problematic. i always recommend fresh install [06:58] and now i basically have a laptop in limbo [06:58] * xTheGoat121x says "Good night MasterShrek!" [06:58] OK. let me see if i understand. The only problem I have with Installing 64 bit ubuntu is with java and flash. But even java and flash can be fixed easily on 64 bit ubuntu. [06:59] i did not know it was problematic [06:59] tuntun: it just makes it easy to move files to another machine without redownloading them [06:59] MasterShrek: i will as soon as the alternate downloads :P [06:59] Jordan_U, they released 64-bit packages with java/flash compatibility? I think that was what took me to swiftweasel, Kilz had some scripts to make java and flash work with it [06:59] ia1, correction, flash is EASY to get working in gutsy-64-bit [06:59] MasterShrek: I will :) [06:59] Evanlec, No, I'm saying that because swiftfox violates the MPL http://www.getswiftfox.org/ [06:59] Jordan_U_: actually, my ttys don't work reliably any more. [06:59] will ubuntu 64 bit one day be as problem-free as 32 bit ubuntu? [06:59] bluebanana, correct [06:59] nickrud: i get "0 upgrades, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded" [06:59] i've never upgraded before on *buntu [06:59] Evanlec: then please do tell me how! [06:59] upgrading is always potentially problematic and should only be done for a very very good reason [06:59] rflol, problem free [06:59] evanlec your the best [06:59] Jordan_U_/ubotu/silent/nickrud: So is there a way to replace superceded packages dynamically on a cdrw? [06:59] it worked im on it right now [06:59] wtvr, What r u saying? [06:59] well i have all my files and settings on there [06:59] Evanlec, hey, I installed nspluginwrapper, how was I to do to install flash? xD [06:59] dga: ok, try it again [07:00] tuntun, probably, if it works with apt it should be fine [07:00] nickrud: does rflol stand for really frantically laughing out loud? [07:00] dga: the restricted-manager [07:00] how else am i able to save all that and use it with the new installation? [07:00] Evanlec: cool, I'll let you and novanosis chat then :D [07:00] novanosis, sudo apt-get install flash ... [07:00] thanatan: it's unprintable here [07:00] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). If I plug it in at the command line I get the error "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62". It is a Compaq Multimedia Keyboard [07:00] ok does apt-get work with unbuntu or just kubuntu\ [07:00] DARKGuy, Ubuntu's firefox will automatically setup nspluginwrapper for flash in 64 bit [07:00] Fade2Black: both [07:00] tuntun, I really dont see why you dont just backup your package cache [07:00] so I cant install beryl in dapper??????? [07:00] im having trouble getting any information off of my second hard drive. it shows the drive when i go into computer file browser, but when i click it, i get an admin pop-up window on the toolbar then it disappears and nothing happens, i cant access it. I have ntfs file system on the same disk as 7.10, i can access that system fine, but not the second hard drive that is ntfs. gparted gives me the error that it is unable to find the [07:00] dmt [07:00] Jordan_U, ohhh sweet, thanks xD [07:00] DARKGuy, Just go to a site that needs flash [07:00] adminn: why are you using dapper? [07:01] adminn: dapper?? why? [07:01] * DARKGuy youtubes [07:01] adminn, If you want beryl then why are you using dapper? [07:01] Blama: just curious ... have you tried enabling legacy support for USB in BIOS? and seeing if that makes a difference? [07:01] can I guys? === mrj_ is now known as mrj [07:01] hm, maybe I'll give 64bit another try [07:01] guys... i'm currently upgrading to 7.10... my question is... can i upgrade using the .iso? [07:01] whats wrong with dapper [07:01] online upgrade is failing due to fetching files from repo. [07:01] adminn: yes u can [07:01] riotkittie, Yes I have, all USB support is enabled [07:01] adminn: yeah!!! all you have to do is dist-upgrade and install it! [07:01] iso is fresh install [07:02] gharz: the alternate, but you'll need to get some packages from the repos. Try a mirror [07:02] I need to keep my vid driver lol [07:02] adminn, It's supposed to be stable, to do that it uses older versions of programs === ia1 is now known as ian1 [07:02] nickrud, ok. [07:02] thanks! [07:02] I did some code setup for my x800 and it worked [07:02] I cant loose it [07:02] brb... [07:02] Jordan_U_: hate hate hate hate hate hate hate ATI. [07:02] please pm megot to throw trash [07:03] adminn, its possible a clean install will work from the start. :) [07:03] nickrud, do it! 64bit is painless [07:03] adminn, Try the Gutsy LiveCD, it will probably work out of the box [07:03] Pie-rate: you and me both. Did you experiment with splashy? [07:03] how do i install w32 codec here? [07:03] hey guys, I've asked a zillion times but here goes again: Could someone help me set up my soundserver (or what it is called)? [07:03] how do i install w32 codec in 7.10 [07:03] Evanlec: i wouldn't say painless [07:03] im having trouble getting any information off of my second hard drive. it shows the drive when i go into computer file browser, but when i click it, i get an admin pop-up window on the toolbar then it disappears and nothing happens, i cant access it [07:03] kilopopo: sudo apt-get install w32codecs [07:03] Flash wont cooperate with my mouse. Slows down, and repeatedly crashes mouse intenive flash games, never had this problem in windows, so it isnt hardware wise. Any help? [07:03] any help? [07:03] adminn, You can even check the fglrx from the livecd ( restricted manager will tell you that you need to restart, but you just need to restart X ) [07:03] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). If I plug it in at the command line I get the error "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62". It is a Compaq Multimedia Keyboard [07:03] kilopopo: if you play an unsupported file won't it just ask you if you want to install them? [07:04] nickrud: yes, it didn't work. i don't care enough about splash screens to try to get one working, i think i'll sell my laptop while its still worth something. [07:04] hehe [07:04] nickrud: and get one without an ati card [07:04] Jordan_U_/ubotu/silent/nickrud: Say I'm about to reinstall, I backup all of the packages that have been updated since the install with APTonCD onto hdd (hopefully it doesnt backup the ones that haven't). And then I need to update the backup, can I remove and replace the superceded packages with onlythe newest ones to keep the size down? [07:04] Blama: I predict that on the 6th time someone will know [07:05] !media [07:05] ugh- Can't locate object method "good_version" via package "Autom4te::C4che" at /usr/bin/autom4te line 984. [07:05] ian1, so do I [07:05] Pie-rate: just turn off usplash, the vc's work fine after that. I'm kinda enjoying the retro text scroll, anyway [07:05] Flash wont cooperate with my mouse. Slows down, and repeatedly crashes mouse intenive flash games, never had this problem in windows, so it isnt hardware wise. Any help? [07:05] tuntun, it will get the latest and probably dependencies [07:05] Blama: the truth is we all know the answer, we're just waiting the magic #6 [07:05] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). If I plug it in at the command line I get the error "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62".

[07:06] at least change it a bit, maybe a "howdy ya'll" [07:06] ov51x driver is not working on gutsy [07:06] Ok, I understand that god hates me because Im using ubuntu, but can anyone help with a question of mine: Im trying to update, not just to gutsy, but anything, and when I try to update, I get an error that says crap about it not working and to run "dpkg --configure -a".

[07:13] kilopopo: no [07:13] pengo: might take a while aye [07:13] i'm looking to escape from m$'s tentacles and take on ubutnu but was wondering something about my video dealy [07:13] martyvis, is there a way to automatically do that [07:13] hi, i installed gutsy over night and was just rebooting it and the gui isnt wokring, i have no ati gc [07:13] Jordan_U_: what about my x800 driver [07:14] Night_XX: its alright, i was just joking. you running into problems? [07:14] Madpilot: System>preferences>desktop effects...fesity anyway. [07:14] kilopopo: you can do the copy from the command line and then umount the volume [07:14] instead of using VGA i'm using component YPrBr to connect to my hi-def [07:14] also, i would like to say, the command line is the only way to do things ;-) [07:14] dholbach, thanks [07:14] adminn, Restricted Manager will install it [07:14] is there a way to configure the desktop effects that come with Ubuntu by default (I assume compiz)? [07:14] o7andrew: yeah.. i'm struggling to get past the welcome screen of the installer.. what does the OEM install option do? just wipe the hard drive and install? [07:14] will ubutnu have any troubles [07:14] Jordan_U_: I will download it [07:14] ty ty ty [07:14] and now my update manager freaks out and says that line every time i try to open the update manager [07:15] kilopopo: linux doesn't want to hold you up when you do the drag and drop - because drives are slow [07:15] um? [07:15] im having trouble getting any information off of my second hard drive. it shows the drive when i go into computer file browser, but when i click it, i get an admin pop-up window on the toolbar then it disappears and nothing happens, i cant access it. I have ntfs file system on the same disk as 7.10, i can access that system fine, but not the second hard drive that is ntfs. gparted gives me the error that it is unable to find the [07:15] adminn, And if you want Compiz Fusion all you will need to do after that is install the package "xserver-xgl" no other setup required :) [07:15] wow. 7.10 is purdee. great job ubuntu! [07:15] kdubois: "you running into problems?" sorry..I don't understand..I'm italian and my english is very poor... [07:15] *working - its a nvidia geforce 7800 or s th like that... [07:15] kilopopo: hence you have to signal to the os you are finished with the drive and want it to clean up [07:15] dr_gonzo, probly... [07:15] is there any way to check whole my installation integrity with checksums or something similar? [07:15] o7andrew: the option at boot "for manufacturers" .. can't remember what it was called exactly [07:16] I'm worried that someone might have attacked my ubuntu installation [07:16] DARKGuy: compizconfig-settings-manager [assuming youre on 7.10] [07:16] o7andrew: sorry i'll google it [07:16] so it would be better to just use vga [07:16] nice1 [07:16] riotkittie, I am, but it's a bare install, so there's no compizconfig-settings-manager :P [07:16] ok [07:16] The default Gutsy wallpaper looks like a warm vat of churning honey... Makes me feel suffocated... [07:16] Night_XX: why do you have to configure the kernel? [07:17] anyone else using a realtek wireless card with gutsy? the damn kernel panic still hasnt been fixed >:| [07:17] dr_gonzo, to start with yea [07:17] it looks like chocolate [07:17] yu. [07:17] yum. [07:17] cool, cool [07:17] DARKGuy: you need to grab it from the repos ;P then it will show on System Menu > Preference > Advanced-Something-oR-oTher. [07:17] if it doesn't give me any guff, i'll let yah know :) [07:17] i forget the name [07:17] can someone help me change the resolution of my desktop [07:17] I have a problem with sound. One program works with sound at the start of boot, but then nothing else will work until reboot [07:17] my update manager is telling me I need to reinstall it, where can i get this? [07:17] dr_gonzo: there's a chance that the utilities that come with nvidia/ati cards support that funktastic mode that I've never heard of but I wouldn't count on it :D [07:18] system preferences screen resolution [07:18] riotkittie, oh, so it's actually installed by default and it isn't the crappy compiz that used to come with Edgy/Feisty? :D [07:18] is there anybody who could manage to solve or find a hack for gutsy-nvidia driver problem? [07:18] it's just a tv-out dongle [07:18] nvidia 6600 gt [07:18] dr_gonzo: what's the video card? [07:18] it wont let me change to my monitors native resolution of 1440x900 [07:18] ChrisGordon: just do sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade and you should be right [07:18] The default Gutsy wallpaper looks like a warm vat of churning honey... Makes me feel suffocated... !chocolate [07:18] caner: nvidia is hard to hack for, no source code for the drivers [07:18] is there a package for autom4te? [07:18] nkryptd1 System>Preferences>Screen Resolution [07:18] by evga [07:18] dr_gonzo: well better chance with an nvidia than anything, for now. I'm curious... [07:18] nkryptd1: look into xrandr [07:18] hey' [07:18] What's the use of switching between desktop [07:18] * dr_gonzo wants to stop supporting bill gates [07:19] uhm...I want to make experience under linux...I come from windows.. [07:19] hey, is there a menu or something to handle external display ? ive got a dvi cable and an external monitor but it has this glitchy patch on the screen [07:19] he's got enough money [07:19] riotkittie, nevermind, it's COMPIZ, YAY [07:19] this means we have to wait for them to fix it, right? [07:19] * DARKGuy dances [07:19] i updated to gutsy and my geforce 7800 gtx doesnt work any more - i'm not that command line proofed with linux, yet [07:19] DARKGuy: it is missing /some/ things but it's pretty complete. [07:19] I got some boot problems with Ubuntu [07:19] dr_gonzo: That's a personal decision. [07:19] how do i install aptget [07:19] caner: if you have it installed right, then yes. Can you find others having this same problem? [07:19] riotkittie, oh, what things? I wanna know xD [07:19] How can I install "gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad"? I get "broken packages" error under 7.10 [07:19] martyvis, thanks but do i run those one at a time? (sorry, used to dos) [07:19] XsteelWolf: one desktop for work, one for play, one for this project, one for that [07:19] I got some boot problems with Ubuntu [07:19] i'm actually looking at is some kind of social experiment [07:19] DARKGuy: 3D windows, for one. [07:19] is there a package for autom4te or something? [07:19] Hey all, is there any reason why I would not be able to use my USB keyboard with Ubuntu? It works fine Windows and in the BiOS menu and a USB mouse works fine in the same port (and all the others). If I plug it in at the command line I get the error "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all, error -62". It is a Compaq Multimedia Keyboard [07:20] martyvis, one for watching porn? [07:20] yes there are on launchpads bugs section [07:20] ChrisGordon: yep - 1st the update, then the upgrde [07:20] riotkittie, darn, they were cool :( [07:20] any link to a hardware compatibility list? [07:20] however..I already try sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev and it still say to me "Unable to find the GTK+ installation." [07:20] !hardware | dr_gonzo [07:20] dr_gonzo: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [07:20] is there a way to install the "alternate" way (via command line) from the standard desktop cd? [07:20] ahh [07:20] the bug is waiting to be verified i think [07:20] thank you martyvis, you have probly made my night 3 hours shorter :D [07:20] * robert_ riots with riotkittie :P [07:20] !hardware [07:20] dr_gonzo: but, its probably not perfectly up to date [07:20] anyone got compiz fusion running? [07:20] meh [07:20] everyone left :( [07:20] ChrisGordon: :-) [07:20] How can I install "gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad"? I get "broken packages" error under 7.10 [07:21] * CowzRule LIKE GUTSY :) [07:21] * riotkittie uhm... robs with robert_ [07:21] hi. I just upgraded to Gutsy and fonts suddenly look different. an example is Firefox where the font seems thinner than it did in feisty. any idea what could cause this? was it changed on purpose? [07:21] anyone got compiz fusion running? [07:21] Night_XX: you might be better helped by the friendly folks in #ubuntu-it [07:21] Can I get desktop icons to conform to a single grid ala windows -- and also make all icons a single size so it doesn't look so random? [07:21] nkryptd1 Try in terminal type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:21] inspired: i noticed that too [07:21] dr_gonzo: what doesnt work with you? the GUI? [07:21] is there an easier way to rip CD's to your computer in 7.10? [07:21] kilopopo: yep - it just runs [07:21] dougb: sound juicer doesnt work? [07:21] they have changed the default fonts to Sans [07:21] chowmeined: sorry, i meant in MP3 format [07:21] it rips it in OGG [07:22] kilopopo: need a supported 3d card - just enable desktop effects in prefernces [07:22] kdubois: in ubuntu-it everyone is sleeping ^^' [07:22] caner, aaah, from what font? [07:22] dougb: might be able to hack it together with cd paranoia [07:22] pengo: No, but I heard something about booting straight to ubiquity, try entering `only-ubiquity` for a boot option at the boot menu [07:22] 8:22 too earlier for the italians? :D [07:22] dougb: though.. byte for byte.. ogg's sound quality is superior [07:22] Night_XX: haha, we'll do our best here then [07:22] crap crap crap [07:22] nkryptd1 when you get near the end you can select resolutionis [07:22] automake is broken [07:22] it must be Bitsream Vera Sans but i am not sure [07:22] dougb, mp3 isn't a free format, therefore the default is OGG because it's free and all that, but I think you can do it with some other programs and the needed codecs, provided you're allowed to get them legally o,o [07:22] chowmeined: tell that to my ipod :-P [07:22] dougb: and it will play better under linux [07:22] hi thr ANy one runs counterstrike on UBUNTU?? [07:22] OGG sounds better tho :p [07:22] dougb: ah... [07:22] caner: hmm, thats unfortunate. Intel has great OSS drivers, aTi's are coming down the pipes, but nvidia's are still closed up... [07:22] i know OGG sounds better, and i'm all for using it [07:22] neohaker, I do, 1.6 no-steam [07:23] Can I get desktop icons to conform to a single grid ala windows -- and also make all icons a single size so it doesn't look so random? [07:23] Anyone running Gutsy AMD64 having showstopper issues with OpenOffice.org? [07:23] dougb: you could rip to flac and transcode to mp3? :p [07:23] hmm maybe i'll just sell my ipod...i have a nokia n800 and i'm pretty sure those play OGG [07:23] dougb: have a flac music archive on your computer [07:23] DARKGuy:how much fsp you egt [07:23] tuntun, you can stretch them [07:23] kdubois in italy are 8:23 AM [07:23] DARKGuy:wine or cedega? [07:23] probably the audio is ripped to vorbis but in the ogg container. referring to them sholud be oggvorbis; other things can bet inside .ogg files like theora [07:23] robert_ theres a lot of macros in dev packages you should look into getting if you want to get automake running smoothly [07:23] neohaker, haven't checked but it's always almost the same I get on win [07:23] neohaker, wine [07:23] martyvis, what program in the preference? [07:23] WaltzingAlong: or speex [07:23] Night_XX: here in US its 230 am :-D [07:23] if i download gutsy through bittorrent can i upgrade from feisty without serious data loss? [07:23] hey guys [07:24] kdubois, like ..? [07:24] dougb: rockbox! [07:24] tuntun: right click on desktop, keep aligned ... for the grid. as for making them all a single size without manually having to "stretch" each one, no clue. i have been looking for a meansn of doing that myself [07:24] anyone other than me experiencing a weird problem switching between workspaces in the ubuntu 7.10 - just upgraded...??? [07:24] kilopopo: display i think (not running in a gui at the mo) [07:24] dougb: the irivers are really nice [07:24] DARKGuy: I would prefer an automatic method:-$ [07:24] does it play on the 5.5 80 GB ipods? [07:24] DARKGuy:i configured in my bro lappy it runs smooth [07:24] dougb: iPods can use Rockbox just fine [07:24] DARKGuy:i got better card [07:24] when i try to update to gutsy the update manager stops responding [07:24] chowmeined: exactly. actually could you tell me how to get speex inside .ogg? [07:24] robert_: it depends, whats it doing wrong? [07:24] How can I install "gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad"? I get "broken packages" error under 7.10 [07:24] DARKGuy:but it truns bad :( [07:24] dougb: they play flac, ogg, mp3, aac everything [07:24] neohaker, lucky for you :P mine's a GF4 Ti 4200 [07:24] youser: yes, no data loss, but you'll still end up getting packages off the net (the ones you got from the net for feisty) [07:24] kdubois, Can't locate object method "good_version" via package "Autom4te::C4che" at /usr/bin/autom4te line 984. [07:24] DARKGuy:on my desktop :| [07:24] neohaker, maybe it needs the drivers [07:24] folks: i have ubuntu 7.04 and 3 hard drives. recently i have had to restart my computer via power button cuz it was freezing. anyways, now: two hard drives don't show up in BIOS, *AND* when fsck runs on startup, it fails with exit status 8 (operational error) on the one hard drive the bios sitll sees.... which is the one that contains the root file system, home, swap .... any ideas on what i should do to fix? [07:24] JWay: hows about you tell us your problem, and we see if we can fix it [07:24] theres a list of hardware not supported under gutsy right now (anymore)? [07:24] WaltzingAlong: All the tools I know of put Speex in Ogg (.spx files are ogg files) [07:24] hhmm [07:24] but if all the nvidia users have such problems with gutsy, it will not be good because the bug is really annoying [07:24] tuntun, I dunno if Gutsy has an automatic way, Feisty didn't :/ [07:25] youser: If you have the desktop CD, you'dhave to reinstall (you could reinstall around your home partition, if you have a separate one), if you download the alternate CD, you can use that to upgrade from [07:25] oops [07:25] robert, make sure autotools, libtool, etc are all installed properly. I was disappointed w/ what was installed by default [07:25] youser, If you download the DVD then you will have to grab from the repos for fewer packages [07:25] DARKGuy:hey how did you isntall re [07:25] i upgraded to feisty from a a dapper cd [07:25] jmworx: ok great thanks [07:25] caner: its likely just the type of card you have, mine is working pretty well [07:25] help [07:25] kdubois: we use to sleep in the night :) [07:25] neohaker, try opening a terminal and type " glxinfo | grep 'render' " ... if it says Direct Rendering: Yes, then you have 3D acceleration, else you've got to find the drivers [07:25] yea idk if i want to invest in another mp3 player. i just bought this nokia n800 and i can put up to 16 GB's of storage on it i think, which is a lot less than buying an MP3 player [07:25] my update manager crashes when updating to gutsy gibbon [07:25] i would have to think that the nokia N800 can play OGG since it's based of debian [07:25] dougb: ok [07:25] i just want to keep my settings and home folder and windows boot [07:26] Night_XX: yeah, but then we became hackers and replaced sleep with caffiene.... [07:26] Ok, so I ran those 2 lines and I went back to try the update manger, and It still doesnt work... [07:26] but update manager is poocheed [07:26] When I click on a workspace other than the primary, I get to see the background picture and no menu or nothing. Switching workspaces is not possible with ctrl + alt + left/right at all. I can run a terminal and use alt + f2 to run programs, but switching workspaces is completely impossible [07:26] neohaker, if it's nVIDIA or ATI usually you go to System -> Admin. -> Restricted Drivers Manager [07:26] i have a gutsy dvd - is it possible to upgrade my existing feisty without using the update manager to fetch the files online? [07:26] DARKGuy:answer is yes [07:26] kdubois, I'm going to re-install automake, autoconf, and m4. anything else? [07:26] dougb: N800 is based on debian?? [07:26] i installed drivers myself :| [07:26] yup yup [07:26] crayner: maybe its not crashing, it can easily take *some* while... [07:26] kdubois: :DDD [07:26] DARKGuy:mine is nvidai 6600gt [07:26] ok [07:26] sorsis: http://maemo.org/ [07:26] neohaker, huh, weird :| is the Video options in CS using Software, OpenGL or D3D? are you running it with Compiz enabled? [07:27] platinum123: yup [07:27] *is=are [07:27] DARKGuy:nope bro [07:27] jmworx: is there such a tool as vorbisgain for speex? [07:27] i cheked all that [07:27] robert_ reinstalling is probably not the problem here, you might be missing a development package for whatever you're compiling. what are you trying to compile? [07:27] DARKGuy/riotkittie: I have "keep aligned" selected, but I would like it the way it is in windows [07:27] platinum123: change your /etc/apt/sources.list to point to your dvd [07:27] platinum123: aptitude update && aptitude upgrade [07:27] i myslef configured on myh bro lapppy he has 7600 card [07:27] it doesnt just blink and flash but gradually slows down resulting a crash [07:27] kdubois, dgen-sdl [07:27] WaltzingAlong: Not that I know of [07:27] DARKGuy:but actual glxgears says my brd performance better :( [07:27] tuntun, ah, automatic ordering? I don't think they've added that to nautilus yet :( [07:27] platinum123: `sudo apt-cdrom add` should add it (even though its a dvd) === smmagic is now known as Bill_Gates === Bill_Gates is now known as smamgic === smamgic is now known as smmagic [07:28] DARKGuy:still i get bad fps he gets 100 [07:28] kdubois, the version that apt installs segfaults [07:28] I tried doing sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and that didnt fix my manager [07:28] neohaker, hm, try changing the video stuff to D3D or OpenGL and see (in CS) [07:28] caner, it doesnt do that w/ a geforce 8500. also make sure you have the right driver installed, you may need a legacy one... [07:28] how come i can telnet to port 80 of a website and GET / .. but firefox just stalls and times out.. sometimes when i telnet to a host, it resolves as 1.0.0.0 .. then if i ping it the correct ip comes up.. gutsy 64bit.. any ideas? [07:28] DARKGuy:mylaunghing options itslf has opengl :( [07:28] neohaker, I would've said it's the drivers but you have 3D acceleration so it's not that and I'm running out of clues xD [07:28] DARKGuy:i removed cs [07:28] Anyone running Gutsy AMD64 having showstopper issues with OpenOffice.org? I am experiencing very frequent and hard crashes when I do just about anything in it. [07:28] snadge: proxy? [07:29] neohaker, you could try asking in #winehq, they're the wine gurus and might help you a bit more :$ [07:29] no proxy is required.. windows xp and ubuntu feisty works fine on the exact same machine [07:29] i didnt select it. just installed using restricted drivers manager [07:29] i'm installing gutsy right now, it's at the "scanning the mirror" part, and its taking forever. is this due to the load on the servers? [07:29] DARKGuy:i:D [07:29] snadge: no for some reason do you have the proxy enabled [07:29] kdubois, the problem is that config.guess doesn't correctly identify my host/cpu type. [07:29] so i can download gutsy from torrent and either run or install it? i cant download the upgrade managerr files? via torrent? [07:29] its set to direct connection.. does this on both livecd and after install [07:29] rayb0t: I would presume so. Installing packages has been very slow for me tonight, too. [07:29] I'm tring to install XChat in 7.10 but I'm getting "tcl8.4 not installable" error [07:29] DARKGuy:hey which wine version? [07:29] I am have problems with my wireless card in ubuntu . It worked before ,but I have changed wireless routers . my wireless cardworks under windows ,but not ubuntu . It worked with my wirless router before . I have not changed anything besides the router . Oh and my lan port don't work either so I am . can I just install wirelles card and then use programs to see the wirelless router and connects me to it or do I have to use iwconfig [07:29] hai [07:29] mbt: yeah. i dont need any packages, i just need to finish the install. it should have a "skip this part" button :P [07:30] or maybe it should time out faster [07:30] ChrisGordon you can go to Synaptic, remove update manager and reinstall it [07:30] do want my ubantu freeeeee versions [07:30] DARKGuy/riotkittie: automatic ordering. I don't think thats it, I would prefer it that desktop icons cant become slightly mis allingned [07:30] perfect [07:30] neohaker, 0.9.47, latest one [07:30] robert_ you may also want to try other versions of automake. some sources only work w/ older versions, its why they're still in the repos... [07:30] thanks [07:30] rayb0t: True. I think that part of the setup is to create the cache of available packages from the servers. [07:30] probably [07:30] right now feisty runs fine but my video card isnot compaatible [07:30] still, the actual installation only took 10 mins, this is going on 20 [07:30] checking build system type... Invalid configuration `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu': machine `x86_64-unknown' not recognized [07:30] rayb0t, these packages ARE gutsy, id say [07:30] configure: error: /bin/bash ./config.sub x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu failed [07:30] Haruno: haha yeah [07:30] youser: what gfx card? [07:31] rayb0t: Yeah, I installed smartmontools and it took me like 15 min or so [07:31] geforce 5500 [07:31] tuntun, hm, have you tried opening a Nautilus window (home folder or any will do) and going to Preferences, and changing the icon zoom level/factor ? that changes the size of the grid making it more "flexible" and windows-like. I use 75% and then resize the icons manually to my taste :D [07:31] Radion 200 has problems too [07:31] youser: yeah, thats a legacy card you've got :-D [07:31] rayb0t: The sad part is that I might have to roll back to Feisty if I can't get OOo to run properly [07:31] "desktop effects" was a white screenn [07:31] ok if i use firefox to browse the web, it doesnt work.. if i put the ip address in instead of the host name.. it works, but if i ping the hostname from the command line, it correctly resolves the ip.. surely im not the only one experiencing this? [07:31] mbt: that sounds like loads of fun [07:31] i bought this computer this year === hislop is now known as Lunz [07:31] I'm tring to install XChat in 7.10 but I'm getting "tcl8.4 not installable" error [07:32] i've been using gutsy for a long time, i am just installing fresh now that it is released [07:32] so... as geforce 7800 gtx doesnt seem to give me a gui... how do i get feisty back? ^^ [07:32] youser: white/black screens in 3d accelerated windows are likely due to a lack of texture rendering memory [07:32] weak cuz i have tons of ram too [07:32] Yep... I have to have OOo for school, and really I need a lot of the functionality in Gutsy, too. But I haven't been able to talk it into working right. [07:32] How do i freeze compiz when doing an effect to take screenshot?it's hard to press windows key then all the way to prtsc key [07:32] how do I use all of the "animations" in gutsy? [07:32] Haruno, what do you mean you don't get gui? [07:32] wth [07:33] rredd4, install compiz fusion manager [07:33] boss please teach me how to installl fedora [07:33] why does openoffice.org keep screwing my documents? [07:33] Josenj: I installed xchat gnome first and then installed the other one second..works fine [07:33] rred44: it doesnt work [07:33] every time i upgrade.. the new version of openoffice screws up how all my documents are laid out [07:33] ubuntu_, rm -rf and insert fedora disc [07:33] my ubuntu is stuck running metacity and murrine [07:33] DARKGuy:no much repsonese thr re @#winehq [07:33] i've discovered the problem.. gutsy is incorrectly resolving ip addresses as 1.0.0.0 [07:33] i boot and theres no graphical interface, im not *so* used to linux command line, so id like a gui much more ^^ [07:33] rred44: it says the package opera needs to be reinstalled [07:33] mrj its installed and animations is enabled, how do I use it now? [07:33] DARKGuy:i guess my gaming days are over :(( [07:33] chowmeined, How badly? Can you give an example? [07:33] DARKGuy:i cnat go back and play on windows :((( [07:34] rredd4, you go through it and figure out what shortcuts = what animation you want and use the shortcuts [07:34] neohaker, naaah, it's just a small video/WINE issue, easy to fix for them :p [07:34] Jordan_U_: they are 1 1/2 pages (so uses 2 pages when printing) instead of 1 [07:34] neohaker, you could try asking tomorrow, at 2:37 am I doubt someone could be alive there XD [07:34] neohaker: not really, wine and cedega do a decent job with old games, i just use an xbox if i feel the need to game these days.... [07:34] DARKGuy:was struggling now evrything is mess over here [07:34] hi my graphics will not work properly in ubantu wt ica do [07:34] thanks tech_1 [07:34] can you save whole web pages with firefox. I have some instructions for install my wirelless card on ndiswrapper and I want it in the same format. In text document it don't do that well. The reason is I don't have web when I got to ubuntu . [07:34] How do i freeze compiz when doing an effect to take screenshot?it's hard to press windows key then all the way to prtsc key [07:34] Jordan_U_: and some of them are wrapped way over, when before they fit fine on the page [07:34] Give it a try josenj. [07:34] DARKGuy/riotkittie: sort of like, you cant have to desktop icons touching, and the all have to be aligned both horiz and vert. [07:34] lame - it is always hanging at " Stopping MySQL database server mysqld" [07:34] chowmeined, If you want them to be exactly the same then you shouldn't use a document format, you should use a digital paper format like PDF [07:34] thank u all by byyyyyy [07:35] I have a q. I will install gutsy on my new laptop. What directories from this PC (feisty) do I have to copy on lap top (gutsy) that I'll so I'll have the same programs there? [07:35] tarelerulz: yes, you can save whole web pages with firefox. go to file menu, and save there and you should get some options. [07:35] XsteelWolf: ccsm should have a screenshot plugin.... [07:35] kdubois:yup your write the most digusting my bro plays on his lappy same game 10 fps with loewr performing card then mine :P [07:35] tarelerulz: although i think you get them if you right click > save too [07:35] would I be wrong In guessing that virtualization hasn't yet come to a point where i can have linux and windows running side by side happily and sharing resources on the one desktop PC easily? [07:35] Jordan_U_: but i was working on it... [07:35] ah well gutsy probably woulnt have solved my graphic problems anyways peace im out [07:35] frojnd: If you want the same programs, just export the selections list from the first machine and import it into the other one. [07:35] mrj: see above ^^ [07:35] chowmeined, What do you mean? [07:35] DARKGuy:anyidea what next thing i can do [07:35] Jordan_U_: i was writing my paper, then i upgraded [07:35] ok, I think cd upgrading will solve my package problem but, it doesnt recognize the cd i made... [07:36] pengo, I used to have that with virtualbox [07:36] Jordan_U_: now i have to reformat it [07:36] mbt, where is selection list [07:36] how can i detect my gpu's name, verison, etc... [07:36] pengo, uh, virtualization has been like that for about 4 years now [07:36] if not longer [07:36] pengo, worked quite fine [07:36] chowmeined, It's not like it added or removed formatting, it is just using more space [07:36] pengo: i had no probs running xp in vmware server. not that it lasted long [i had no reason to do it] [07:36] neohaker, try installing your video drivers through the restricted drivers manager, try changing video options in CS, try fullscreen or windowed, different color depths, stuff like that [07:36] morning all!!! [07:36] Jordan_U_: so i have to resize a bunch of stuff [07:36] ah vmware yeah [07:36] Haruno, you honestly think i'm going to scroll up in the 1000 lines a minute and look for one line of text to help you? [07:36] frojnd: If both machines are on the same network, you can do it like this, from the machine that you have the software on already: [07:36] guys, question, how can i make sure that a startup program starts BEFORE all others? [07:37] pengo: nope, this point doesnt really exist, yet ;) [07:37] frojnd: apt-get --get-selections | ssh target-machine 'sudo apt-get --set-selections; sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade' [07:37] Jordan_U_: oh well... [07:37] mrj: > i boot and theres no graphical interface, im not *so* used to linux command line, so id like a gui much more ^^ [07:37] but virtualbox is supposed to be good, too. and there are others i've heard positive reviews of from users ... but [07:37] anyone having issues with 'cdromupgrade'? [07:37] Haruno, what did you do before the GUI "broke" [07:37] is virtualbox proprietary like vmware? [07:37] plus virtualbox is really easy to install [07:37] I'm getting it hanging at "modifying software channels" [07:38] I can't get my windows Xp VM to install! [07:38] mrj: install gutsy via update manager and then reboot ;) [07:38] and from what I've heard faster than vmware [07:38] ugh. i want to go to bed but i cant lay down. so. i suppose i will sit here and learn something. [07:38] alastair_: mine is hanging at "scanning the mirror" i think it is because of the load on the severs. [07:38] hello [07:38] roitkittie: i've got a video of virtualbox running on youtube [07:38] mbt; ok what about just burning APTs on disc ? is tehre a way? [07:38] chowmeined, You can usually format things so that even adding / removing text wont completely ruin the format [07:38] alastair: yea i cant get mine to work, doesnt show up [07:38] virtualbox is quite good, u just need pretty much RAM [07:38] how do i write enable my usb drive?i cant save my file in usb drive,can someone help? [07:38] rayb0t: I specifically told it to not use the internet for that reason [07:38] frojnd: You can just save the selections list to disk [07:38] There are alot of packages that are "not installable" in 7.10 I can't install tcl8.4 for example [07:38] if I have a VIDEO_TS directory how can I make a .img or .iso of it so that if I play or burn the .img or .iso it would work on vlc/dvd player? [07:38] Haruno, go through sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm again [07:39] frojnd: apt-get --get-selections > file_output [07:39] Jordan_U_: it just seems all the stuff is bigger and flows off of the areas i wanted it now [07:39] alastair_: just give it time, mine just now got past it after about 10 mins [07:39] YAY [07:39] ChrisGordon: I can get it to show up, just not run [07:39] perfect [07:39] Lunz: double-click it in "places -> computer" ? [07:39] go make some tea and have a cookie :) [07:39] mbt: thanx [07:39] rayb0t: really? weird [07:39] hm [07:39] its just network lag [07:39] ugh ! i installed vorbis tools, gstreamers, mplayer plugin for mozilla, and gnash flash player plugin...but youtube wont even play !! any biggie im missing ? [07:39] Jordan_U_: but its not uniformly bigger, so i have to selectively resize certain components [07:39] frojnd: APTonCD [07:39] i'm going to copy all the debs into the apt archive and use dist-upgrade, I htink [07:39] Avariel, gnash can't play youtube [07:39] for some reason the upgrade hangs trying to kill mysqld ... if i kill it manually it keeps coming back! [07:39] My live CD is extreemly slow. Unusable. Is there anything I can do? The harddrive is working the living hell out of it self without me doing anything [07:39] what's button 1 [07:39] virtualbox is very good compared to qemu+kqemu for years [07:39] XsteelWolf: on the mouse? [07:39] alastair: when i run mine it says "unable to mount volume" and collapses [07:39] right im just installing a bunch of media related things [07:39] ramvi: buy more ram :) or use the alternate cd to install [07:39] burninating the countrysideee [07:40] ChrisGordon, your menu.lst is probably pointing to the wrong harddrives [07:40] ramvi, you might best off installing it [07:40] ChrisGordon: you using apt-cerom? [07:40] Is it possible to shut off, then restart the NIC with a terminal command (such as something you can put in crontabs) ? [07:40] can anyone help me with making a program start before all others? [07:40] IcemanV9: they're apples & oranges... virtualbox is virtualization... qemu is not [07:40] i must be missing something but i dont know what it is [07:40] There are alot of packages that are "not installable" in 7.10 I can't install tcl8.4 for example. How can I fix this? [07:40] ChrisGordon: apt-cdrom [07:40] alastair: nein [07:40] * xTheGoat121x *sings* ...and the Trogdor comes in the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight [07:40] rayb0t: actually looking for some ubuntu fan ware, perhaps a t shirt or such ^^ [07:40] josenj76: dist-upgrade [07:40] alastair_, left click? [07:40] xTheGoat121x: Im not able to in that speed [07:40] XsteelWolf: yeah, probably [07:40] trogdor: ubuntu.com has a store :) [07:40] trogdor: hehehe ubuntu.com has some sweet merch [07:40] what crucial plugins are there ? [07:40] chowmeined, But you shouldn't have to resize anything, I guess I just can't see how there would be a problem unless you are doing things like ( though this is an exaggeration ) using tabs to center text rather than setting it to be centered [07:40] bur[n]er,Couldn't change the permissions because it is on a read-only disk [07:41] XTheGoat121x: 2am here yeah night... did I leave my webcam on again!? [07:41] or to play flv files [07:41] Lunz: this is hte latest version? latest version has ntfs write support [07:41] Name141, try something like "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" [07:41] Jordan_U_: i wanted certain things to all fit on one page [07:41] Someone claimed: sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up , and sudo /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down [07:41] Avariel: .flvs will play with vlc [07:41] trogdor, .... nah, it's 2:41 here... so I'm just assuming everyone's in my TZ [07:41] bur[n]er,i am using gutsy [07:41] Anyone running Gutsy AMD64 having showstopper issues with OpenOffice.org? I am experiencing very frequent and hard crashes when I do just about anything in it. [07:41] bur[n]er: vlc, cool ill get that [07:41] Lunz: crazy, writing to usb drives works here very very well :) [07:42] burner, this is a clean install of 7.10. I have 0 upgraded, 0 newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded when I ran "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [07:42] Avariel: mplayer is also excellent [07:42] BrendanJ: actually I need it to disconnect from the router, not restart. [07:42] trogdor there is a link on the ubuntu.com website which was updated today - they have "limited edition merchandice" [07:42] Name141, that would work. I don't know if it physically turns off the NIC or not, but it certainly disables/reenables the interface [07:42] yep got that one [07:42] chowmeined, Ah, I see, then document formats aren't really made for that. The same will happen with different versions of Word [07:42] Jordan_U_: ok [07:42] bur[n]er,but how i cant enable it but it just works fine on 7.04 [07:42] meta-paonia: ah I see thx [07:42] Name141, i.e. it would disconnect / reconnect to the router [07:43] BrendanJ: that's what I need, my ISP has a "fair access policy" to where I can only use a daily allowed limit of bandwidth, and hell if I want to keep using 'idle' hours/mins that add to it. [07:43] anybody german here, who could help me translating to mrj? [07:43] Haruno, there is a German channel [07:43] !de | Haruno [07:43] BrendanJ: so after the "FAP-Free window" (5 AM) I need it to shut it off, unless I'm awake of course. [07:43] hey [07:43] bur[n]er, this is a clean install of 7.10. I have 0 upgraded, 0 newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded when I ran "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" [07:43] it keeps saying "sorry the contents of blabla cannot be displayed" for my external hard drive on ntfs...but i already downloaded ntfs-config package [07:43] xmms no longer supported :( [07:43] after "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop" mysql still is running :( i don't need it to run, but it seems the upgrade will not proceed until it dies. any idea ho to keep it from relaunching? [07:43] or maybe its not automatic and i have to eject and mount [07:43] What? XMMS is no longer supported?!?! [07:44] Name141, what kind of ISP charges you for bandwidth when it's sitting idle? That's weak. [07:44] hi, I got "Error during update". pls see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41161/ [07:44] what must i do? [07:44] meta-paonia: what is with the monkey groping your chest on that shirt? [07:44] BrendanJ: It's sat [07:44] scguy318,but how i cant enable write enable my usb drive? it just works fine on 7.04 [07:44] since i have had gutsy installed if I have "nvidia" as my device in xorg.config then when i go to log out I don't have an option for "shutdown" but if i use "nv" all is well. any ideas(note this is in kde)? [07:44] BrendanJ: You have a 200 MB "rolling" limit per 24 hours. or some strange crazy crap. [07:44] holy crap, ubuntu seems to be the most user-friendly distro there is, yet its the first time i havent been able to work out how to set up the partitions! [07:44] xTheGoat121x: it hasnt been supported for some time. audacious is an excellent replacement. [07:45] * riotkittie laughs [07:45] BrendanJ: besides 2-5 AM is unlimited. [07:45] I'm probably heading to bed soon [07:45] There are alot of packages that are "not installable" in 7.10 I can't install tcl8.4 for example. How can I fix this? This is a clean install of 7.10 [07:45] mrj: it says s th like:" the graphics-server was rebooted 6 times in the last 90 seconds. probably something ent bad. before the next try on "anzeige :0", therell be a break of 2 minutes" [07:45] Lunz: it should be just plugin and r/w, or am I missing something? [07:45] BrendanJ: I need to just move to town. [07:45] jacquesmerde: using the guided on the live CD? [07:45] BrendanJ: where there is DSL and cable. [07:45] riotkittie, well the things you learn. I did not know that XMMS was no longer supported. [07:45] Haruno, Gnome correct? [07:45] riotkittie: nah, manual. i'm dual-booting [07:45] josenj76: have you done 'apt-get update' [07:45] ? [07:45] scguy318,but it doesnt,doest it have anything to do with security? [07:45] Name141: ah. cron can do the job between 2-5 am while you're sleeping. :) [07:45] mrj: no doubt ^^ [07:45] alastair_, yes I have, several times [07:46] riotkittie: oh, i think i got it. what is the recommended file system for root? ext2? ext3? [07:46] josenj76: what's the exact error? [07:46] IcemanV9: yeah, you know of a good download manager that would be something like Freedownloadmanager or GetRight? [07:46] Lunz: not sure, you could try manually mounting [07:46] jacquesmerde: ext3 i believe [07:46] jacquesmerde: ext3 [07:46] IcemanV9: So that it would schedual , without me having to use wget. [07:46] josenj76: " is unavailable but is referenced by another package" ? [07:46] bah repositories are sloooow [07:46] but im not positive because i always go the manual route [07:46] anyone know of any issues with the p5l-mx that would stop the install from completing? [07:46] scguy318,command? [07:47] i wish people would stop complaining about the repos speeds tonight :P what do ya expect? [07:47] Heeeey! I have lil problems with my multimedia keys. dmesg / xer doesnt even return anything when i hit em. Help please :) [07:47] motherboard [07:47] sorry :) [07:47] alastair_, the error reads "xchat: Depends: tcl8.4 (>= 8.4.5) but it is not installable . E: Broken packages" [07:47] Haruno, I would probably just install KDE desktop in the meantime if you're not good with cli [07:47] Name141: i believe there is bittorrent download manager (don't remember the actual name) [07:47] josenj76: what does it say if you try and install tcl8.4 [07:47] Lunz: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/theusbdev /a/mnt/point/of/your/choosing [07:47] josenj76, Did you just upgrade recently? [07:47] in the "create partition" dialogue it looks like it wants you to chose the mount point, but at the same time it wont let you. seems you have to create it, set everything EXCEPT the mountpoint, then EDIT the partition, and set JUST the mountpoint [07:48] IcemanV9: ehh, I need FTP/HTTP viewer, and one that remembers the passes, and stuff. [07:48] jesus i cant even play an mp3 file, im downloading vlc see if that does it [07:48] Avariel: VLC does do it [07:48] Avariel, You should be able to just double click it [07:48] Avariel: installing the restricted plugins shouldn't be seriously difficult tho [07:48] IcemanV9: or maybe I can try wine ? [07:48] Name141: torrentflux is what i was looking for. [07:48] gstreamer plugins <3 [07:48] yeah its just im not too sure which ones they are [07:48] gstreamer, mplayer, vlc [07:48] i got those [07:48] IcemanV9: that doesn't just do torrents ? [07:48] Avariel, Just double click it, they will be installed automatically [07:49] ugly ugly-multiverse, bad. [07:49] scguy318,but my usb is fat32 [07:49] Lunz: ah, in that case, you would do [07:49] ok, this is annoying, i made a disk for gutsy and it wont read on feisty [07:49] on feisty ? i just seem to get an error message [07:49] Lunz: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/usbdev /a/mnt/point/here, fill it in [07:49] Avariel, Or install all codecs by installing the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" package [07:49] alastair_ then I try to install tcl8.4 and I get: "Package tcl8.4 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only availble from another source. E: Package tcl8.4 has no installation candidate" [07:49] scguy318,my mount point is /media/lunz [07:49] hi, i installed gutsy on my pc but it takes a lot of time to load webpages, signin in pidgin and so on [07:49] josenj76: right. that's a packaging error in xchat, then [07:49] Lunz: what is your USB device name? [07:49] ubuntu-restricted-extras ? that a codec pack ? [07:49] while downloadin from apt is ok [07:50] josenj76: I think the best you can do is file a bug for it [07:50] max, is memory an issue? [07:50] can someone help me? [07:50] josenj76: or, you might be able to apt-get install --force [07:50] Avariel: it might be cuz repos are slammed? [07:50] Avariel, It also installs Flash and Java [07:50] josenj76, Did you just upgrade recently? [07:50] this is hilarious... I've been trying to install on two PCs now and it's not working on anyone of them... any ideas? [07:50] scguy318,flash disk [07:50] Name141: i did not get a chance to play with it; i believe it can get something to download besides torrents [07:50] josenj76: I think TCL is only needed for plugins [07:50] josenj76: if you have no tcl plugins then it will be fine [07:50] they totally are, ill check out ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:50] IcemanV9: aye. [07:50] is anyone else having a problem with installing the java plugin with the iced tea plugin? [07:50] MrBister: if you could elaborate on "not working", that'd be swell [07:50] Name141: you can control it from any web browser as well ... [07:50] chrisGordon, no i've got a "clean installation" [07:51] man vlc is still downloading ! the servers are dying [07:51] josenj76, Did you just upgrade recently? [07:51] Max, Loading times vary on the processing speed of your computer, how much ram do you have on the machine [07:51] Lunz: can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l? [07:51] Does anyone know if Canonical is going to put vmware-server packages in a repository for gutsy like they did for feisty? [07:51] I'm also getting that for "gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad". I tried the ubuntu-restricted-extras package [07:51] hi, my fresh install is hanging on "scanning the mirrors". i restarted and it happened again? if i wait will it eventually go through or should i just try tomorrow? [07:51] 512mb [07:51] Also , one other thing, does the new 7.10 read/write NTFS ? [07:51] but with feisty it was ok [07:51] has anyone successfully compiled dgen? [07:51] Name141: yes [07:51] josenj76: how was the ubuntu-restricted-extras ? [07:51] Name141: anyway, just trying to give you an idea of a way to do it during 2-5am automatically [07:51] Jordan_U_, no this is a fresh install [07:51] AMDfanboy: just wait for it [07:51] aha! i waited 20 minutes and it just went through! [07:51] AMDfanboy: seems to be a problem currently. too many people wanting to update [07:52] josenj76: just sudo apt-get install xchat [07:52] riotkittie: no fancy jancy hokey pokey needed anymore ? [07:52] josenj76, Have you tried "sudo apt-get -f install" ? [07:52] Name141: nope [07:52] OK [07:52] Ubuntu mirrors are very stressed at the moment because of the new 7.10 [07:52] scguy318,hold up [07:52] mrj: stupid question: how do i install kde? [07:52] siif I have "nvidia" as my device in xorg.config then when i go to log out I don't have an option for "shutdown" but if i use "nv" all is well. any ideas(note this is in kde)? [07:52] Avariel, it asked me to remove some packages so I did after that it says that it's installed fine [07:52] has that bug been fixed where network-manager doesn't work after hibernate? [07:52] chrisGordon, 512mb but with feisty there wasn't problem [07:52] Haruno: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, or a different metapackage if you want something less than the entire Kubuntu [07:53] I got a problem while istalling freespire can anyone help me please :( [07:53] max, ok, I am currently running a laptop with 256 ram while running fiesty, and I am slow, gutsy has more features and thier new fusion window software so it requires faster speeds that are in today's computers, so while 512 was enough for fiesty, gutsy may need more [07:53] josenj76: aight ill check it out === xxx is now known as aditya [07:53] If I run it LIVE, does it let me download/install anything ? Or will it still not write to the disks on LIVE ? [07:53] if i got disconnected while installing update do I have to redo it? i was fetching upgrade when I had connection problems now it isnt moving [07:53] hey guys. just installed gutsy. I have dual monitors set up and currently, they're being displayed as one monitor. Screen 1's resolution is 2560x1024 and screen 2 is 1280x1024... I don't know where the 2560 came from. Its supposed to be two monitors as 1280x1024. Any thoughts? [07:53] thx [07:53] mmmiiikkkeee, Do you see the screen flash a few times before X starts when you have "nvidia" set? [07:53] Jordan_U_, I tried it with the -f but I still get the same error === febri is now known as satrio [07:53] is anyone having compiz errors with nvidia cards and 7.10?

I have Xinerama installed. Do I need to install twinview? Ask me if I need to give more info [07:56] argh i the glitch on my monitor display is pissing me off..its just this flashy glitchy thing at the bottom left [07:56] chrisGordon, yes, 4mbit.

[07:56] n0tworkn: press the function key for more options then type noapic at the end [07:56] hey, ubuntu cant recognize a mp4 player, does anyone has any idea how to solve it? [07:56] Lunz: is your USB device 1 GB in capacity? looks like your partition table is fubared... [07:57] aunes2: check out your xorg.conf ... you may need to tweak the resolution there. ]backup first[ [07:57] aunes: which function key? [07:57] I isntalled Ubuntu after installing freespire but Ubuntu didn't let me boot to freespire can anyone help me [07:57] riotkittie, Doesn't mean you can't still use them :) [07:57] i'm now trying to install 7.10, and it's reached "configuring apt" (82%), and now it's just sitting here.. no apparently HD reading, nothing apparently happening... has it crashed or something? [07:57] Lunz: you should run dat recovery apps on the USB device, the file system on it appears to be seriously corrupt [07:57] volantares: mirror searching ? [07:57] no that isnt a crash colantares [07:57] Avariel: it says scanning the mirror [07:57] mine stalled for quite a while [07:57] volantares: yep [07:57] volantares: The servers seem to be under load [07:57] Guhh, ubuntu can recognize most players (ipods, iriver, sandisk) but can only put on them what ubuntu supports, which does not include mp4s [07:57] Muhammad, You need to add it to your /boot/grub/menu.lst [07:58] n0tworkn: it says during the load screen. I want to say its f6 [07:58] volantares: the mirrors are being slaughtered. sit tight. [07:58] hi al [07:58] volantares: It may take a little bit for the server to answer. [07:58] whats the new window manager called? i don't have any borders and apparently it's not called emerald any more. [07:58] volantares: you can wait it out, or unplug your internet cable [07:58] volantares: that worked for me [07:58] hmm.. [07:58] Muhammad, Just look at the settings for Ubuntu and change the partition [07:58] riotkittie: there is nothing in my xorg.conf regarding 2560 resolution [07:58] yes. that may be the option to take [07:58] Is 7.10 incompatible with HP PCs? Have to ask since I've tried on FOUR machines now... [07:58] aunes2: in that case, no clue. D: [07:58] volantares: i unplugged the internet and plugged it right back in and it worked [07:58] riotkittie: how can I recreate it from scratch? [07:59] anyone who has installed on a HP pc? [07:59] Jordan_U: great how can I do that can you explain please as I'm a new user to Linux [07:59] scguy318,how do i run dat recovery?

[07:59] ok.. thanks [07:59] aunes2: i'm not sure that you want to do that [if you do, back it up first]... in a term --> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [07:59] Lunz: I suggest testdisk, Photorec for that purpose, lemme link you up [07:59] Muhammad, "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [07:59] slatinc> nice, the ones I've tried are desktops. [07:59] scguy318,ok [07:59] now the linux community has to finish developing a driver for my sound card, and all will be well [07:59] the internets are undar attack! penguins everyware!!! [07:59] aunes2: since gutsy has a gui for setting up resolution i don't think u need to run xorg.conf [08:00] nothing fancy, cel cpu, 40GB hdd. intel gfx [08:00] wait what actual application do you use to open music files ? when i double click they keep on opening in totem movie player and it doesnt work !

[08:00] riotkittie: well if I backup, what's the worst, eh? [08:00] how do i determine a partition's UUID? [08:00] Lunz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery the section "Data Recovery from damaged filesystem or drive" is probably what you are looking for [08:00] aunes2: nothing, really [08:00] MrBister: And the livecd won't even come up? What problem are you having? [08:00] !lamp [08:00] 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+) [08:00] Has anyone tried installing 7.10 on an IBM T23?

[08:01] riotkittie> it plays some strange startup sound now. waiting for it to continue. [08:01] Wolf23: hola, you'll probably want to use ffmpeg or a frontend for it [08:01] Lunz: strange, did you blacklist the rt2500 driver? [08:01] whats the best way to keep two servers synced with the same maildirs in realtime? [08:01] or at least semi-realtime [08:01] Lunz: the alternate driver [08:02] MrBister: try bootig in safe graphics mode on that one. [assuming you cant see anything] [08:02] god youtube doesnt work and ive got vlc, mplayer plugin, gstreamer, and ubuntu-restricted-extras [08:02] anyone know of a program where i can have one internet connection via ethernet, a second via wifi, be connected to them both simultaneously and give priority to using up the bandwidth from one line over the other, but use both simultaneously [08:02] scguy318: hi friend :) [08:02] whats the magic thing that gets youtube working ?"

[08:05] Muhammad: you're going to need to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and add an entry for Freespire [08:05] riotkittie: he has the 9X/2K/XP ones, its was all-in-one or w/e [08:05] scguy318: ah :| [08:05] ok I opened it [08:05] Hi, i'm looking for best option to install Ubuntu 7.1, into a laptop of Dell M1210, XP-Home, with hard-drive of 3 partitions Recorvery [FAT], System [NTFS] and one partition at end of MEDIADIRECT, shortly, what is the safest way to install ubuntu?

[08:06] Broma: yea. i'd ignore the message. unless something crazy starts happening, its probably no big deal [08:06] riotkittie,i did install the driver and setting exactly the same from 7.04..but it doesnt work on gutsy.. [08:06] hi everyone [08:06] hallo [08:06] well i don't get the cube desktop feature and it doesn't appear anything realyl changes after running it [08:06] anyone having issues with firefox displaying web pages properly? [08:06] Lunz: :( [08:06] how do I get permission to copy and paste files? [08:06] riotkittie,it cant detect the wireless signal but couldnt connect.. [08:06] and delete them and move them and all that [08:07] i've been screwing around with kismet, just upgraded to 7.10 and it's dropping out after 2-3mins.. works fine then goes dead, can't get a power reading or anything. i've been checking the forums and such and wanted to try removing wpa_supplicant, does anyone know how to go about doing that? [08:07] hey, i'm looking at the software sources in synaptic. i see these two under 3rd party...... "partner" and "partner (source code)". i don't recognize these? what are they? thanks! [08:07] lewis1711, in your own user directory, you should already have those permissions. The system owns the root area, though. [08:07] Broma: have you enabled Cube? IIRC, Gutsy defaults to Desktop wall and you need to install compizconfig-settings-manager to disable that, and enable cube [assuming you are using 7.10] [08:07] scguy318,it cant detect the wireless signal but couldnt connect.. [08:07] riotkittie++ [08:07] Madpilot, the root area being anything above my home directory? [08:08] lewis1711, basically, yes [08:08] let me try that ( I am using 7.10) [08:08] is it "normal" there are no module/.ko files in my generated initrd? -> causes my lvm2 system not to boot, I think [08:08] riotkittie,it just works fine with 7.04 and should be working on gutsy.. [08:08] (ie since update to 7.10) [08:08] Madpilot, how do I then give myself permission to copy paste all files? [08:08] Lunz: can you check what lsmod | grep ndiswrapper has? [08:08] and also it says I don't have permission to run .deb installation files [08:09] scguy318,hold on [08:09] Avariel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins [08:09] lewis1711, generally, you don't. for deb files, leave them on your desktop then just double-click them [08:09] I just upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy via the DVD, and now Update Manager wants to do a "partial upgrade"; is this normal/safe, and how can I find details on what is causing it? [08:09] Avariel: the portion about nspluginwrapper is of interest, and you should have used good ol' x86 :) [08:09] how can I add free spire to menu.lst in Ubuntu to make it boot again I really need help if anyone know this :( [08:09] Madpilot, I do and it says I don't have permission [08:09] scguy318,ndiswrapper 185240 0 [08:09] hellos can someone tell me how i get amarok to play mp3s from my ntfs partition? its working fine on the local partition [08:09] I also want to move files from my desktop onto another disk and am unable to do so [08:09] hey, i just did a fresh gutsy install and i'm looking at the software sources in synaptic. i see these two under 3rd party...... "partner" and "partner (source code)". i don't recognize these? what are they? thanks! [08:10] Lunz: can you pastebin the output of ndiswrapper -l? [08:10] Avariel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins [08:10] scguy318: thanks man, and yea ive heard of the good ol x86 and the 64 bit troubles [08:10] how can I add free spire to menu.lst in Ubuntu to make it boot again I really need help if anyone know this :( [08:10] fanboy, i think those are the former 'corporate' or 'commercial' sources? whatever they were called [08:10] Avariel: np [08:10] lewis1711, odd. right-click on the .deb, choose Properties -what does that say about ownership? [08:10] well at least i got mp3 files working when i run them with mplaer [08:11] mplayer*' [08:11] anyone having issues with firefox displaying web pages properly? [08:11] ace1: so i think i'll check them then. i figure thats stable commercial stuff. right? [08:11] root what do I need to do to enable cube after installing the compizconfig? [08:11] Gutsy can't find my 3Com-nic. That's really bad. [08:11] Lunz: i'm not sure if this is relevant but i have an rt2500usb. i blacklisted that, and then blacklisted the newer driver [rt2x00...] as well. i'm not sure that i /had/ to, but i'm assuming that if i'd been able to connect without doing it, i'd not have bothered. [08:11] Madpilot: owner: (account I'm on now) access: read and write. [08:11] I want MD5SUM for 7.10 iso file ? [08:12] Lunz: so you may want to try blacklisting rt2x00pci or rt2x00usb or whatever is appropriate [08:12] fanboy, if you have trouble with anything on those lists should be easy enough to uncheck em an remove em :o) [08:12] lewis1711, but double-clicking on the deb doesn't work? [08:12] how can I add free spire to menu.lst in Ubuntu to make it boot again I really need help if anyone know this :( [08:12] Anyone running Gutsy AMD64 having showstopper issues with OpenOffice.org?

[08:12] riotkittie,the native driver for dwl-g122 is rt72usb and i did blacklist it.. [08:12] fan, i downloaded the livecd [08:12] Broma: go to System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects. Click on Cube to enable it. THEN go to General Settings page and up the # of virtual desktops to 4 [08:13] riotkittie,i meant rt73usb [08:13] Lunz: which version of the g122 do you have? C? D? [08:13] how can I add free spire to menu.lst in Ubuntu to make it boot again I really need help if anyone know this :( [08:13] riotkittie,H/W v C1 [08:13] ace1: i checked and thats what they are, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/710 [08:13] is it possible to run XGL and 3D direct rendered Wine games together now? [08:13] ahh. i wasnt aware that was also a ralink. :o [08:13] Madpilot, it does not.

[08:18] join #ubuntu-colorado [08:18] Muhammad: Well, the only way to do it would be to find your Linspire kernel, any initrd necessary, and any kernel command line parameters you need, and put those in the menu.lst file. You would be better seeking help from Linspire people. [08:18] oops!

[08:39] lewis1711: to gain access to copy and paste file: man chmod [08:39] lavender_dream: try System->Preference->Apperence [08:39] lewis1711: try ask.com [08:39] updatemanager said I didn't need an update, but I was running a beta version === Lunz is now known as I_LoveBlackmen [08:39] nesoi: you dont [08:39] lewis1711: It's the screen that shows only shortly right before the desktop wallpaper appears. But after the Login [08:39] jotil, runlevels are just fast way to stop a lot of services and start them again when you need them, you don't usually need to switch runlevels... sure switching is advertised in different tutorials where you for example install nvidia drivers, but I just use "killall gdm" and then restart it when im done..:D [08:40] anyone run across a completion plugin for gedit? [08:40] jotil, I mean in the gui. I have files on my desktop I want to transfer to my other hard drive but it's impossible to do it.

[08:40] nice [08:40] w00t [08:40] jotil, what are you trying to do? [08:40] lewis1711: you will need to figure out what are the permissions you have on the destination [08:41] I had the 2 weeks ago broken beta2 [08:41] I am not sure. I am dual booting, one harddrive win2k one ubuntu. I am trying to transfer files to my windows hard drive [08:41] lewis1711: my hunch is you're trying to copy files to a windows ntfs partition [08:41] heh [08:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about xrandr - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:41] I win :p [08:41] and update manager didn't say I needed anything even though the release was out [08:41] jotil if I right click and go properties: permissions it says I can read and right [08:41] tmpetu01: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [08:41] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [08:41] 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 [08:41] is it just me or does gutsy have blurrier fonts? [08:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about conky - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:41] cwill1 I am able to open files on the windows hard drive, I think it's fat32 [08:41] #ubuntu-ir baraye Farsi zabanan mibashad ke channele rasmie goroohe Iran-ie ubuntu ast. [08:41] how do i get ubuntu to mount my NTFS partition on startup? [08:41] lewis1711: make sure the drive is clean, i.e., chkdsked, clean shutdown [08:41] ugh xchat crashed [08:41] kilopopo: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [08:42] did anyone answer my question while i was disconnected? [08:42] I can open and brows the harde drive [08:42] it just won't let me paste files [08:42] cwill1, it is [08:42] bqmassey: edit your fstab [08:42] lewis1711: one sec [08:42] scguy318: don't know anything about "fstab" [08:42] lewis1711: perhaps you need to tweak fstab, umask=000 :P [08:42] dystopianray, its not just you, i've noticed that, not looked into the cause yet though [08:42] ? [08:42] bqmassey: can you please pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l and cat /etc/fstab please [08:43] bqmassey: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [08:43] I had the 2 weeks ago broken beta2 and update manager didn't say I needed anything even though the release is out. So, does anyone know how I can tell if I have the release version. I think it should at least be some packages I can check in synoptics [08:43] What's a good download manager for rapidshare [08:43] should i be doing "sudo aptitude upgrade" or just using upgrade manager... does it matter? [08:43] my laptop has hdmi, im trying to get audio output over it,the driver is hda-intel, however i'm not getting any sound over hdmi, also, if i open the volume control i have a new swithc "IEC958" any idea what this does and if its releated to hdmi audio? Also although the display's native resolution is 1280x720, setting it to output this resolution results in the edges being cut off, lowering the resolution still has the edges c [08:43] ut off, just with everything larger. [08:43] lewis1711: for the mount option for the partition in question, you may have to edit the fstab entry for it so that all files are 777 [08:44] lewis1711: perhaps make it owned by you too with another flag [08:44] volk: i am trying to install nVidia graphics driver. there seems to be an issue. xorg starting on recovery mode. so figuring that out. but i needed my eth0 to connect the internet. that's why i asked. i was thinking about adding networking capabilities to the recovery mode because i like being lazy. but no big deal. i can type two lines of commands. [08:44] scguy318, I have no idea what that means. [08:44] I can copy from the windows hard drive to the linux one if that helps, but not vice versa [08:44] or at least I could [08:44] I dunno [08:44] lewis1711: if you try to do it as root, does it succeed? [08:44] maybe I'll just burn it to CD:p [08:45] uhhh... in VGA mode.. how do i force it to something over 8x6 =-P [08:45] scguy318, I only know how to sign in as sudo on command line, and that does not help [08:45] What the F...K repos 3rd day D O W N ? ? ? [08:45] i cant click next because my res is too low =-P [08:45] Unmount is the same thing as eject right? [08:45] no [08:45] cool [08:45] I am trying to upgrade ... but its SOOOO slow.... [08:45] No eject button on my usb [08:45] is the eclipse in add/remove applications in 7.10 3.3 or 3.2? any way to know? [08:45] ijust found that compiz advanced settings [08:45] :P [08:45] But it said unmount [08:45] vince: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but this is a temporary session, we will fix your X for real after installation [08:45] new effects! [08:45] :D [08:45] vince: or you could use the alternate CD [08:45] lewis1711: sorry, got sidetracked [08:45] lewis1711: ntfs? [08:45] haha, it's all good [08:46] jotil, well just go to one of the virtual consoles, do a killall gdm/killall X, then dhclient eth0 if you have dhcp, download the driver, run the bin file and start gdm :D [08:46] hi i'm new to ubuntu. but what version of php, mysql and apache is installed on the lastest ubuntu server anyone know?? [08:46] goodshit, better change that nick [08:46] cwill1, it's fat32 I think. [08:46] anyone knows a systray plugin for thunderbird or evolution [08:46] !language | goodshit [08:46] I'll see if I can check [08:46] So unmount doesn't harm my usb? === goodshit is now known as aboyzz [08:46] goodshit: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. [08:46] has anyone had success with screen expansion in Gutsy? [08:46] sorry.. [08:46] thanks :) [08:46] jotil, or if you are lazy you use envy to install the latest driver :D [08:46] i'm aboyzz is this better? [08:46] lewis1711: run mount on the terminal, it'll say [08:46] !envy [08:46] hello! I updated to gutsy, but it can't find my usb harddrive and my msn fonts sucks [08:46] envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly! [08:46] godshit NICE NICK MAN! KEEP UP [08:46] can someone answer me please or show me where i can find it.. [08:46] okay, so no one here knows how to determine what version of ubuntu ( have (final or beta), or how to determine which version of eclipse is installed by package manager [08:46] aboyzz: what is your question? [08:47] how can i FORCE VGA safe mode over 8x6 resalution? [08:47] volk: yeah. done that right after. i am connected using ifconfig.

[08:47] anyone knows a systray plugin for thunderbird or evolution??? [08:47] is that true? [08:47] lewis1711: yes, you will have to mount with umask=000 [08:47] my wifi wont work [08:47] at all [08:47] cwill1, sorry? type mount into the terminal? [08:47] scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41165/ [08:47] scguy. what version of php, mysql and apache come with the latewst ubuntu? [08:47] aboyzz, you can check on http://packages.ubuntu.com [08:47] lewis1711: yes [08:47] volk: i don't like envy :P thanks though [08:47] gotcha [08:47] astro. thanks thats what i need :) thanks [08:47] how can i why does "sudo aptitude upgrade" to on the internet to download when i have already added my gutsy dvd to the sources list? [08:47] bqmassey: ty [08:47] lexu1: yes you can [08:47] ok apparently the new NVidia-glx-new does not work with the NVidia GeForce 6200 [08:47] lewis1711: open a terminal, type mount, and look for the mount point [08:47] scguy318: took me a bit :) [08:47] ah it is nfts [08:47] cwill1 [08:47] astro. which one is the lastest? [08:47] aboyzz, gutsy is 7.10 [08:48] What's a good download manager for rapidshare [08:48] jotil, i dont like its feature that updates your x config, messing it up completely, but otherwise envy is great :) [08:48] lewis1711: gutsy or feisty? [08:48] okay, an old version of eclipse. thanks bqmassey [08:48] bqmassey: do you want read/write access to the NTFS partition? [08:48] astro. is that the most stable? [08:48] feisty [08:48] platinum123: there's probably updates on the internet for things that aren't on the cd, or packages that you installed on feisty [08:48] Hi everyone. I can't make Gutsy to work with my Nvidia GeForce 6200... I've tried everything possible, restricted drivers, nvidia-glx-legacy, glx and glx-new and envy. Nothing works. This is my xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.ca/742130 [08:48] astro. i should install 7.10 release? [08:48] scguy318: yep.. i'm running 7.10 [08:48] lewis1711: k, reboot into windows, run a scandisk on the drive, reboot cleanly twice, and then boot back up [08:48] scguy318: gutsy [08:48] aboyzz, well it should be, but considering it was released today, there are usually some bugs shaken out in the first month [08:48] can anyone help me with themes [08:48] nice. thanks :) [08:48] lewis1711: I _think [08:48] Nvidia + OpenGL, that is, of course [08:48] bah [08:49] <_anusia_> hi all [08:49] bqmassey: ok, please do gksudo gedit /etc/fstab, then I'll tell you what to edit [08:49] hmm, ok well its taking a _very_ long time... guess the servers are slammed... whats a reasonable time to wait? [08:49] bqmassey: where do you want the NTFS partition to mount?

[09:06] lsusb give me only a "microdia" [09:06] (but i DID rename the configs, not only deleted them, so i have backups.) [09:06] RivaeAerya: you could try copying the folders from a working user then, although it might not quite work right [09:06] volk: see? i just did it and i simply forgot. my memory needs upgrade. [09:07] RivaeAerya: it'll work better than it does now though [09:07] join #ubuntu-cn [09:07] bdgraue, I guarantee google knows more than me [09:07] panosru: one sec [09:07] platinum123: interesting. Wonder why its not pulling libc6 from the CD, since its on there.

[09:10] hi. this is my problem: [09:10] I'm experiencing frequent crashes in openoffice 2.3 My spreadsheets crash a lot, and the writer is unusable... [09:10] Uninstalling openoffice.org-gtk and openoffice.org-gnome packages solved the problem for me... but it's only a temporary fix cause it makes the program so extremly ugly windows 98 style... [09:10] Has anyone elsed experienced this problem? [09:10] This is my output when i start oo wirter in terminal: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41167/ [09:10] is apache configured by default in 7.10, or do you have to install and/or configure it? [09:10] ZaphodBeeblebrox: i am trying to figure out how to help you [09:10] RivaeAerya: not sure, I just wouldn't expect deleting them all would be it, unless its not working because you missed some or something [09:11] can someone help me getting my gutsy to work right, it won't mount my UBS-harddrive [09:11] cwill1: well, i think it's because i missed some, i think. Because, GNOME creates it's configs itself, for example at first startup [09:11] ok, the last message I see is PCI: MSI quirk detected. MSI deactivated. [09:11] jotil: I know and I thank you for that, just trying to get more people to think about that [09:11] can someone help me getting my gutsy to work right, it won't mount my UBS-harddrive [09:11] dot_: what does it say when you mount it?

[09:13] dot_: okay, open a terminal, and type mount, and copy what it says into a pastebin [09:13] cwill1: well, i think it's because i missed some, i think. Because, GNOME creates it's configs itself, for example at first startup [09:13] it should be fine after that [09:13] inspired: is font smoothing turned on in appearances? [09:13] cwill1, this goes for the menus and dialogs in firefox as well as the inline font in websites [09:13] cross your fingers [09:13] all commented out but the cdrom... trying to figure out how to answer "Accept this solution?" see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41170/ [09:13] cwill1, yes [09:14] if it doesn't come back again [09:14] cwill1 i get the same error now but now i found why i get the error [09:14] RivaeAerya: in which case, look for the ones you missed :p [09:14] jotil: I already have this in that file: DISABLED_MODULES="nv nvidia_new" [09:14] i'll start the process again [09:14] cwill1: how do you mean "pastebin" [09:14] !pastebin [09:14] cwill1: i did, but don't know which i missed [09:14] ZaphodBeeblebrox: ouch [09:14] silent: i installed most of the programms for using webcams [09:14] bah, where's ubotu?

I know they turned off antialiasing in the mono fonts, although there's a way to turn it back on iirc [09:15] jotil: I can't tell if it is... How should I check? running glxgears? [09:15] cwill1, maybe its a bug but if i change something to repos through Software Sources it adds some repos that don't work [09:15] cwill1: http://pastebin.org/5282 [09:15] panosru: if it adds web, then just delete it [09:15] cwill1, I haven't changed anything. just did a clean upgrade from feisty to gutsy. not using any special fonts [09:15] so... noones interested in helping me out? [09:15] panosru: there might be an amd64 bug, check launchpad.net [09:15] someone was trying to help me get Gutsy loaded, told me to retry the install with splash quiet removed....the last message I get before the system hangs is "PCI: MSI quirk detected. MSI deactivated." [09:15] bdgraue, have you checked out the forums? [09:15] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [09:15] buntu [09:16] err. yea..

[09:19] its just meant to run on a 2.4 kernel so it requires a bit of tinkering to get it working [09:19] jotil: Visual Effects, they are disabled [09:19] cwill1, uh, I can't find Lucida Grande nor Verdana in Firefox prefs. perhaps that's the problem. msttcorefonts is installed and Lucida Grande is in my Truetype dir, just like in Feisty [09:19] ademan: yeah, loki published it [09:19] jotil: should I try to enable them? [09:19] yeah [09:19] cwill1: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt -o uid=dot [09:19] mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt busy [09:19] inspired: those are win32 fonts, which may not be installed [09:19] jotil: ok, hold on [09:19] I'm trying to run gksudo nvidia-settings to fix dual monitors (hopefully with twinspire). I get a dialog that says I'm not using the nvidia X driver. I've tried running nvidia-xconfig as root, but it won't fix it. According to system>admin>screens and resolution I'm using the nvidia driver. Can anyone offer some help? [09:19] WGGMk, what are you trying to do ? [09:20] cwill1, no wait, they are there [09:20] rayb0t: wow, you could get Sim City 3000 natively for Linux?

[09:20] its hard to find nowadays [09:20] jotil: it's asking for me to enable the Nvidia restricted driver, but when I do so, X returns in low graphic mode. Should I try it anyways? [09:20] cwill1, lcd on a laptop. are you serious? the tinypic one has horrible fonts [09:21] http://www.amazon.co.uk/Loki-Entertainment-Software-SimCity-3000/dp/B00004VX0T/ref=sr_1_10/203-1190887-3188720?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1192781374&sr=1-10 [09:21] :P [09:21] thanks [09:21] hey guys, keeping the future in mind how big of a / partition do you think i need? [09:21] aunes_: just set them up in nvidia-settings with the default Restricted Drivers [09:21] ZaphodBeeblebrox: hehe. something funny happened. i rebooted and i get the exact error as you do. [09:21] does anybody know how to make the special keys work on a thinkpad r31 with hotkey-setup? don't wanna use tpb [09:21] Keef_: there should be an option in there to write the changes to your xorg.conf [09:21] jotil: aw man.... lol [09:21] I can't find the gtk theme manager. isn't it supposed to be in preferences? [09:21] inspired: you might be seeing the newer font hinting, but the tinypic is _way_ less blurry (looking at the l's for instance) [09:21] ademan: I am fine with a 20GB HD [09:21] Keef_: I'd walk you through it, but my nivida-settings are broken [09:22] QuelTos: lol, well this is a laptop, that's about half of my total disk space right there [09:22] i was hoping someone would say 10GB lol [09:22] dude - chill for a bit because i'll really need to go now [09:22] aunes_: yer I've saved them, it's just my X Server dies when I reboot the next time, lol [09:22] mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt busy [09:22] ademan: hehe [09:22] but when i'll be back, i'll fix my thing [09:22] inspired: but, if that's what you're seeing, try changing the advanced settings in fonts, full hinting or none, see what you like [09:22] cwill1: dot@shining:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt -o uid=dot [09:22] mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt busy [09:22] i'll write down how i fixed it [09:22] cwill1, it's not blurry on my display. it's _antialised_ [09:22] so you can ask me later? [09:22] Keef_: save them to something that isn't xorg.conf and then run a diff after it crashes and comes back up [09:22] how about that? [09:22] inspired: that's blurry :p [09:22] that should tell you what's different which might yield some clues. [09:22] ademan: 10GB will do it as well.. but there's not much space to install apps and stuff then [09:23] jotil: sure, but how should I know when to look for you? lol [09:23] inspired: vertical lines shouldn't be aliased unless you really need the kerning to be exactly the same (which is silly for html, as opposed to ps output) [09:23] aunes_: ok thanks good idea [09:23] Just in case anyone is interested: I had firefox segfault on startup with 7.10. Reinstalling fixed it. [09:23] QuelTos: yeah that's what i was sorta afraid of, i spent all of today working on getting lvm working so that I could resize partitions as needed, but i never could get it working [09:23] inspired: look at the settings I mentioned though, they should be there [09:23] Hi, can someone help me with ubuntu installation? [09:23] ZaphodBeeblebrox: i should be around. but not before 4 or 5 hours from now. [09:23] Keef_: think you could help me get my nvidia-settings working? [09:23] cwill1, I don't get it. this has been the default style in all my prior ubuntu installations. it used to be like that. why was it changed? I'll try the hinting [09:23] you can download the nvidia driver off the nvidia website, reboot, press ctrl-alt-f1, killall kdm or killall gdm, go sh [location/name of nvidia driver] , choose to compile the driver, choose to update the config file, reboot [09:23] inspired: also, it might be that gutsy turned on subpixel, which may not be what you're used to [09:23] that's how you do it manually, i prefer it that way [09:24] jotil: ok, thanks anyway, I'll look for you later [09:24] font smoothing is a very subjective thing.. i'm using OS X right now (eww, i know) and i can't stand its fugly blurry font smoothing.. of course apple zealots will swear up and down how it's vastly superior.. [09:24] ademan: ext3 supports some kind of partition resizing as well.. but i think it can only extend a partition [09:24] comunication Ubuntu 7.10 is perfect over a Thinkpad IBM T40 [09:24] comunication Ubuntu 7.10 is perfect over a Thinkpad IBM T40 [09:24] ademan: and i am not sure about the direction [09:24] QuelTos: you can shrink and extend [09:24] cwill1: dot@shining:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt -o uid=dot [09:24] QuelTos, ademan, it can only move he foot of the partition, not the head. [09:24] Hello - I'm using Kubuntu right now and i plan on (maybe) switching back to Ubuntu because Ubuntu has got better support than Kubuntu, in features, software, and hardware. So, i deleted .gnome2 and .gnome and .gconf and .gconfd but now i can't run GNOME anymore. And, the preferences menu is loaded with all kinds of junk. So can anyone help me with all of this? [09:24] mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /mnt busy [09:24] QuelTos: you can only shrink offline.. but you can extend online [09:24] thank you Ubuntu [09:24] cwill1, damnit. I just set a preferred font in firefox and I can't remove it. how stupid is that? [09:24] thank you Ubuntu [09:24] inspired: for the record, both of them are smoothed, it's just the smoothing is subtler on the second [09:24] hola [09:25] how about on a T23? [09:25] inspired: I should introduce you to rk, I think you two would get along :p [09:25] my dual-boot windows 2003 just crashed. and ubuntu just release new distro. now i have a chance to do a fresh install of everything. is vista worth going into or should i stick with windows xp? [09:25] i like full hinting with no anti-aliasing personally [09:25] I spent hours getting the damned wireless working on edgy [09:25] Flannel: only the foot.. thought it was the head to move :) [09:25] inspired: default font is just called 'serif' [09:25] cwill1, heh. same frustration?

I wan't to set my default font to NOTHING [09:27] borgware: i had a lot of trouble with the liveCD myself [09:27] yellow_chicken: you can run vista as a virtual machine too if you'd like [09:27] ademan: on my laptop i use about 30GB for my gentoo root, 5GB for my windows root, and 25GB for a data-partition read/writeable by win and linux [09:27] Can i use a deb for etch http://gyachi.sf.net ?

[10:01] cyrano: synaptic package manager under system|admin [10:01] Geoffrey2, when i say the disc isn't right i mean, maybe it's not burned right, or maybe it's corrupt, or maybe there's a scratch on it [10:01] dot_: no [10:01] <|box|> Geoffrey2: if you burn as an iso i always burn at a max of 4x [10:01] thanks, JimQode [10:01] ok [10:01] you shouldn't have any of those three installed, unless you're running a raid [10:01] hey.

[10:27] CroX: I don't know why that error pops up.. just go with the gnome settings [10:27] wildintellect the driver its native [10:28] cwill1: Well i rebooted [10:28] wildintellect I dont like ndiswrapper.lol...was using it in sabayon...always had headaches with it :o [10:28] dot_: so far so good :p [10:28] and I don't know what to do now [10:28] Is it possible to use the Ubuntu (alternate, presumably) installer to install Ubuntu on an encrypted partition, Debian-style? [10:28] garu, maybe you should build it yourself https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/RalinkRT61 [10:28] <|box|> yea enabled restricted drivers but fouled it up rebooted and then it wouldnt recognise the ati card so had to do the process again... gave up and manually downloaded the driver fromati [10:28] dot_: udevmonitor, replug, tell me if it still dumps pages of gunk [10:28] Slart: (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe" [10:28] haha oh man someone make my NVidia card work correctly!! [10:28] cwill1: will I now unplug my USB [10:28] |box| you must be on a different ATI CARD [10:28] it _should_ say some stuff, it _shouldn't_ say add remove /block/dm-1 [10:28] and then udvmonitor and then plug again? [10:29] yes [10:29] <|box|> garu: yea i think the M makes a diffrence [10:29] hey could someone help me out here? i dl-ed the alternative cd to upgrade my feisty, everything went well on my laptop however on my desktop i get "tar: ./dists/stable/main/dist-upgrader/binary-all//gutsy.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory" when i type in terminal "./cdromupgrade"... the disc is mounted to /media/cdrom ...ubuntu forums recommend getting rid of spaces in the mount point but there are not spaces in my mount [10:29] Is xrandr 1.2 supposed to work with nvidia-glx-new [10:29] Murphy05: no idea, sorry; try searching launchpad.net [10:29] |box| once I installed the restricted drivers, I restarted and then tried to enable the effects, it told me that the composite extension wasnt available...then I installed xserver-xgl and it worked perfectly [10:29] Murphy05, did you try updating your sources and doing the upgrade over the web? [10:29] cwill1: it addremoves the same /block/dm-1 (block) [10:29] do I now plug my USB [10:29] CroX: ok.. try this.. run this in a terminal "ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf*".. you should get a couple of files with dates at the end.. one of those will be your old xorg.conf.. try to find which one is your old file [10:29] dot_: no [10:29] i am installing tftpd-hpa using synpatic, but it says, it's not authenticated. anyone have experience with this? [10:30] cwill1: what then [10:30] CroX: the date would probably be the date you upgraded [10:30] wildintellect OMG I thought I wouldnt have any more of this problems.lol [10:30] dot_: you said you had to force-kill? [10:30] wildintellect: yeah i've updated sources, and i can do update over the web but i woudl rather not since i already have the cd here [10:30] cwill1: force quit synaptic [10:30] :( [10:30] but then i restarted it and the mdadmin was uninstalled [10:30] Slart: Three files from that date. There's alot of old xorg.conf's here. [10:30] <|box|> garu there was an iccon flashed up next to me suer name to enable restricted drivers but its gone now [10:30] dot_: sudo apt-get remove dmraid; sudo apt-get remove dmsetup; sudo apt-get remove mdadm [10:31] I think something got screwed up [10:31] yellow_chicken, it's not big deal if it's not auth, depending on the repo you're getting it from there may be a cert you can download [10:31] dot_: can you pastebin /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages? === Beno_ is now known as Dano [10:31] wildintellect see...right now, I think it's got nothing to do with my wireless card...because, I'm connected now for like 15 or 20 minutes straight...the maximum I was getting before, when I was trying to install apps and browse the web at the same time would be like a 3 minute connection and then off! [10:31] Slart: Alright, I think I got the one [10:31] Hi all, I've just upgrade to Gutsy but the process stopped on the way... and now I have a few issues : first off, when logging in, my keyboard is not properly configured anymore (it is now set as qwerty, whereas I have an azerty). How can I change that ? [10:31] <|box|> ahhh looked in restricted drivers manager and theres a big red icon next to me graphics card lol that might be something to do with it [10:31] cwill1: it said on all 3 of them : " Package (name of it) is not installed, so not removed [10:32] ubuntuforums.org must be getting hammered big time [10:32] garu, ya that is weird, next time it dies check dmesg [10:32] how do i use a edgy deb? [10:32] dot_: do you have a private message window open from me? if so, ping me back on it [10:32] CroX: ok.. copy that one to xorg.conf , overwrite the "new and improved xorg.conf that doesn't work for you anyway" [10:32] |box| that red big dot its normal...u should have a checkbox [10:32] MrEgg964, xorg configuration [10:32] Anyone here familiar with open-iscsi ? [10:32] Heh [10:32] How can I get the network manager to not switch wired/wireless networks if for instance my network cable slip or the wireless network becomes unavailable for just one second?.. :) [10:32] cwill1: what do you mean pastebin /var/log/ [10:32] wildintellect dmesg is the command? [10:32] wildintellect: what't the command to update package list? i can't download tftp-hpa. [10:33] Slart: And then restart (CTRL+ALT+Backspace)? [10:33] Hey guys i have Xerver-Xgl installed and COMPIZ setting manger. i cant get the cube affect to work any ideas . i can get the desktop to flip on an axes but no cube ?? [10:33] <|box|> yea cant uncheck it says etc/x11/config invalid [10:33] dot_: /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg [10:33] CroX: yup.. see if it works [10:33] is gutsy released yet? [10:33] wildintellect: thanx, can you be a little bit more specific, pls? I've never done this manually before. Tia. [10:33] they're files you can upload [10:33] garu, ya its a command [10:33] MrEgg964, patience I'm checking my config right now [10:33] Yes, Bo^Dick --- Gutsy is released [10:33] wildintellect: thanx [10:33] yellow_chicken, sudo apt-get update [10:33] thanks [10:34] would you recommend an upgrade from feisty to the fresh release of gutsy= [10:34] Hey guys i have Xerver-Xgl installed and COMPIZ setting manger. i cant get the cube affect to work any ideas . i can get the desktop to flip on an axes but no cube ?? [10:34] Slart: Nope, that didn't work either, I don't think. :/ [10:34] cwill1: want me to paste all things frm dmesg and messages to you [10:34] yes [10:34] cwill1: They are HUMONGOUS [10:34] CroX: ok.. check the Xorg.0.log again.. see if it still uses the failsafe file instead of xorg.conf [10:35] MrEgg964, in /etc/X11/xorg theres a line that says Option "XkbModel" "pc104" [10:35] they'll be a few dozen kilobytes [10:35] wildintellect: i think the repository is dead, i clicked apply, nothing happens [10:35] has anyone here upgraded from feisty to gutsy? [10:35] wildintellect OMG...I just did that...it came back with like a million lines [10:35] lol [10:35] wildintellect: okay, I'll check that out [10:35] dot_: not that humongous :p [10:35] Hey guys i have Xerver-Xgl installed and COMPIZ setting manger. i cant get the cube affect to work any ideas . i can get the desktop to flip on an axes but no cube ?? [10:35] cwill1: http://pastebin.org/5291 that's dmesg [10:35] MrEgg964, you need to change it to the type of keyboard [10:35] thx [10:35] Slart: It does. [10:35] garu, dmesg | tail gives you only the last part [10:36] yellow_chicken, think about changes your sources to a different mirrot [10:36] wildintellect: how to make change? [10:36] vbox in 7.10 ,any problem? [10:36] CroX: ok.. yesterday I had the very same problem you have now.. but all of a sudden my ubuntu started using the correct xorg.conf... I thought it was the dpkg-reconfigure line you ran before.. [10:36] wildintellect there is something I noticed though at the end, it says wlan0 address duplicated [10:36] cwill1: when I opened the /messages [10:36] it said [10:36] Slart: Odd. I know that has fixed my problems before but it doesn't seem to, now. :/ [10:37] wildintellect: tftp-hpa is part of main-group. [10:37] dot_: /var/log/messages [10:37] my update manager of feisty won't show the "upgrade to gutsy" button. anything I have to check in sources.list maybe? [10:37] The file /var/log/messages changed on disk. do you want to reload the file? [10:37] wildintellect: okay, I found a 'us' setting which I changed to 'fr' - I suppose this should do the trick when I reboot. [10:37] what do I choose [10:37] winkiller: hit check [10:37] yellow_chicken, you can either edit /etc/apt/sources.list (backup files first) [10:37] Slart: I'll try the manual reconfigure [10:37] Bo^Dick: i'm dl gutsy now to install on my external usb drive [10:37] dot_: ignore that [10:37] CroX: do that.. I'll do some googling.. see if I find another solution [10:37] cwill1: done like 10x [10:37] MrEgg964, just restart the x server with ctrl-alt-backspace (it will log you out) [10:37]

and ends with . so you can see the commands. Its been there forever. Though someone would fix it [13:02] jrib, Okay, thanks a lot [13:02] jrib, but that hasnt happened. So now Im taking the matter in my own hands [13:02] Whats a polite time to wait before repeating a request? [13:02] I can't upgrade to 7.10 [13:02] mbone: why is that? [13:02] how do i make xchat-gnome minimize to system tray? [13:02] garu: I can't establish connection [13:02] 5 10 minutes? or more [13:02] Ugh ... mirc... haven't seen *this* for a while [13:02] Innomen, INFTY, in theory...:). [13:03] Hello. I found the value "MaxRequestSize" for cupsd.conf and set it to "0" (which should be default, I thought) but that doesn't help. A large print job (33 MB) causes the printer to be stopped with "Print file was not accepted (client-error-request-value-too-long)!". Any idea what the problem is here? [13:03] Innomen: I wait til my question scrolls out of sight [13:03] thats 5 seconds [13:03] Maligen but, can ur system detect ur wireless network? [13:03] lgc: heheh noted: seamus: that seems too soon for me :) [13:03] chippy: usually not [13:03] garu, any idea how to set modules to load on startup? [13:03] yes, I donwloaded the firmware via Restricted Driver Manager, and the leds on the card are on [13:03] mbone, what errors are you getting, are you doing an install from a live cd/alternate install or are you using the dist upgrade from feisty? [13:03] so I think the system detects it :P === krstn is now known as _karsten [13:04] Helvasca: I can't find the upgrade to 7.10 in Update Manager, and I already read a similiar problem in ubuntu forum too. Nothing helps so far [13:04] upgraded to gutsy. But my core2duo with intel graphics is still freezing at random times. Any idea of how to fix it? [13:04] Got a question relating to WINE and games... if this isnt the place to ask it can someone direct me to the right place? [13:04] BrendanJ: isn't that in /etc/modules? [13:04] ramvi: not sure how to search translations, try #ubuntu-bugs maybe [13:04] BrendanJ: apparently, it's going to download 40MB of digikam plugin docs :) [13:04] Innomen, but if you break the etiquette, hell'll break loose and you'll get your attention...:). [13:04] seamus, maybe? [13:04] i've lost all applications in "menu", how do i recreate them? [13:04] dan-g: #winehq will probably help you out better with specific application compatibility within wine [13:04] lgc: oh i know, they scold me regularly [13:04] thank you pici [13:05] so I'm downloading Alternative CD and see ... [13:05] BrendanJ:okay? [13:05] wilhart: Right click on the menu, go to edit and there should be a button in there to revert. [13:05] Is there anyone here who got tracker working good..? [13:05] mbone, ok then, I'm just looking to see if I can find a fix [13:05] Innomen, there's bigotry in here, allright. [13:05] garu, any idea ? [13:05] askand: I removed the Deskbar and just used the standalone tracker search out of the Accessories menu [13:05] Anyone with C2D who can do me a huge favour? Run stress --cpu 8 --timeout 10s and provide me with the result? [13:06] lgc__: i complain about ubuntu's reliance on command line, i use enter as punctuation, i dont like being called names and i'm affraid to mention my favorite pizza toppings :P [13:06] seamus7: and then it works good for you? [13:06] lgc__: you know anything about external drives? [13:06] askand: once it finishes its initial indexing ... which may take a while depending on what directories you have it watching [13:06] Innomen, I might. [13:06] Everyone upgrade to 7.10 fine, right ? Maybe there is something wrong with the Update Manager > < [13:06] ubuntu rulez the house .. [13:07] Innomen, what? [13:07] Pici: menu editor? kde-menu: You must specify an application-id such as 'kde-konsole.desktop' [13:07] lgc__: it says it didnt shut down clean and now refuses to mount, is there a checkdisk or something i can do to repair? [13:07] these guys are genius [13:07] how to solve the wireless problem in ubuntu 7.10 ? [13:07] rainer: yes [13:07] wilhart: You are using KDE? [13:07] Pici: yep [13:07] i've heard many people have failed to install gutsy [13:07] everything works out of the box [13:07] I'm having problems running azureus, it crashes when I load it. I ran it from the terminal so I could get a log, if I pastebin the results, can someone help me with the error? === heh is now known as Cyber_Stalker [13:07] Innomen, try fsck. [13:07] Updated Question: Anyone having trouble getting X to start w/ NVIDIA and updated Gutsy install? [13:07] gusty works perfect on my notebook [13:07] wilhart: I'm not very familiar with KDE unfortunately. You might get a better response in #kubuntu [13:07] lgc__: oky brb [13:07] i hate you rainer [13:08] i mean, you give us all hope [13:08] Hi, i have a problem with Ubuntu's PHP, but I'm unsure if this is the right place to ask [13:08] what´s up rjonesx?

"W: Bizarre Error - File size is not what the server reported 3702498 4850445" [13:09] myupdater doesn't like that file not even from it's location, http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/ghc6/ghc6_6.6.1-2ubuntu2_i386.deb [13:09] yes, it's ok [13:10] is there any chance that kde would work and not gnome? [13:10] Innomen, OK, I just learned something too...:). [13:10] i mean, im willing to try anything at this point. [13:10] Bo^Dick: change your repo mirror and try again then.

I plan to just reformat the Ubuntu partition and install Gutsy there. But, is it possible to get Gutsy to overwrite the current Grub entirely so I could get rid of the old Ubuntu lists, etc?

[13:19] Odd-rationale: yes, thank you very,very much [13:19] Anyone seen similar? [13:19] seamus7: Thanks. So then it's safe to just wipe the Ubuntu partition? Grub won't get damaged? [13:19] so I downloaded the tar.gz of the rt61 module I need. How do I compile it? [13:19] yokomo: np [13:19] jrib: yes that does [13:19] seamus7: Or at least shouldn't... [13:19] jamili: not sure if lilo has a livecd but google and check it out [13:19] SuperPigs: that is very vague what about them? [13:19] garu with broadcom BCM 4306 [13:19] Hey! have a problem with my live CD, the computer boots, but when attempting to load the OS something fails and I am sent to a terminal environment and told that something fail abnormally, I've MD5 checked the isofile and verified the burn , 7.04 live cd works fine. Anyone know what to do_ [13:19] mini-me: try alt-f2 and then 'sudo -K' [13:19] what's the partition manager in gutsy gibbon?I want to resize my partition [13:20] IdleOne: ok [13:20] helvasca well i got a tunnel open but i need to do url surfing now... i dont get it how i do that??? what client do i need or what cmd?

This is my second time trying to get ubuntu to dual boot after a FRESH install with Windows XP Pro. What I did was install Windows XP Pro first, then boot into livecd, started installation, let the installer resize the partition through guided mode (all default settings), and then rebooted the system. Upon reboot it now says Error Loading Operating System... [13:21] mini-me: alt-f2 won't take you anywhere [13:21] RobotBana: right. just reinstall ubuntu overtop your old installation and when the partition manager comes up allow it to reformat your file system ... if you installed your home directory into its own partition then you would NOT reformat that unless it was a completely fresh installation [13:21] what should i do? [13:21] SuperPigs: do you want to forward say Mozilla to the computer your on? do the computer your on have X running? [13:21] Helvasca: thank you for that :) but i think I should wait for the Alternate CD and do a more stable upgrade :) [13:21] rjonesx: /etc/apt/sources.list [13:21] nicholas: Turns out it was the google toolbar that was doing something. When I disabled it, it works like a charm, too bad I cannot use the toolbar though... [13:21] mini-me: alt-f2 opens a run application window nothing to come back from [13:21] rjonesx: /etc/apt/sources.list [13:21] jrib: was thinking of the console thing :) [13:21] hello everybody i can't install firefox extensions help! [13:21] RobotBana: grub will be reinstalled and it will detect windows and all will be swell [13:21] seamus7: Great, thanks. :D [13:22] mini-me: if you mean ctrl-alt-f2 then you do ctrl-alt-f7 [13:22] RobotBana: psychocats.com is a great website for help with all of that [13:22] Christ [13:22] k [13:22] IdleOne that's what i meant :) [13:22] Anyone can assist me? Really desperate...Been trying for the whole day [13:22] helvasca i fired up the tunnel in console and now its online. but now i need to surf proxy via it [13:22] I love Ubuntu 7.10 [13:22] jrib: have done what you asked, what should it do? [13:22] helvasca i have no idea if that is done via client or cmd or something else [13:22] I'm hating it so far [13:22] mbone: thats the best way to go, remember to back up your data, and if possible have a seperate home partion! [13:22] Why VSpike [13:22] davzie did u get AWN to work? [13:22] mini-me: now try synaptic from the menu [13:23] AWN? [13:23] What's the best way to install gibbon?

That is, I wonder ? :) [13:25] abcde_: have you tried the #azureus channel? what's the problem exactly? [13:25] So where do I put the rt61.ko module file once it's compiled? [13:25] can someone help me ? I have wireless problems (broadcom BCM 4306) on [Ubuntu 7.10] [13:25] IdleOne: what should I be looking for? i don't see anything coming through [13:25] seamus7, no one answered on the azureus-support channel [13:25] garu: oh right, I don't use wireless so I don't know anything about it === Kee1 is now known as Keef_ [13:25] Reuben: wiki.ubuntu.org/dualboot ( might list a few links find the correct one [13:25] where do I access /dev/usbfs in 7.10 [13:25] Maligen, what is the trouble?

I have output from a terminal run if you want me to pastebin it [13:27] GRRRR why this @#$%^&* update block that way ??? [13:27] i cant find the expose plugin any more in gutsy. what is it called now? [13:27] i changed mirror and now my download speed is more like 33kbps rather than 240kpbs [13:27] seamus7, where do I get the non-Vuze? do I just do 2.5, or did they release a non-Vuze? [13:27] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:27] anyone has Nero running on Ubuntu???

[13:28] seamus7, when I did 2.5, I couldn't add plugins, which I need. [13:28] where do I access /dev/usbfs on 7.10?

[13:29] IdleOne: I installed Windows first then ubuntu though [13:29] seamus7, I know that, I mean when I had 2.5, I didn't have the "install plugins" option [13:29] K0NxZ, i have no clue how you can do that , sorry [13:29] Maligen, and you have even tried to manualy enter the essid with the new connection option? this is strangebecasue I have bcm4306 on an hp zd8000 [13:29] Where do I need to copy a .ko file to so that it can find the module? [13:29] IdleOne: I was looking at this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574125&highlight=error+loading+operating+system&page=5 don't see a resolution there :( [13:29] pengo: try the alt cd. uses less ram 128 i *think* [13:29] <[Gutsy]Alien18> how do i set the picture for the top and bottom of my cube please?

[13:30] abcde_: you place plugins in the azureus plugins directory [13:30] Is IdleOne a bot?

[13:31] abcde_: if i remember correctly you add them to the azureus plugins directory and then go into azureus and search for them [13:31] Maligen, yes it sounds strange. after reboot you should have been rawking. [13:31] within the tools or plugins menu [13:32] abcde_: within the tools or plugin menu on azureus [13:32] i have a video in openoffice and i want the video to start when i click on it, but it always starts when i change to the slide [13:32] Test! what test? this is a test please do not adjust your screen.

[13:32] IdleOne:okie I am the site and reading through it...don't quite see what I should be looking at though [13:33] I'm trying to upgrade from 7.04 and getting the following error when I try to use the updater to upgrade: "Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/source/Sources.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)" === tiaz_arien_ is now known as febri [13:33] abcde_: i always did just azureus ... not azureus-gcj [13:33] Reuben: you need to fix grub so it sees the OSes [13:33] Maligen, sorry its an expression. I meant you should have had no trouble and be happily using it. [13:33] tengo una pregunta [13:33] hello how can i make update manager do not update my kernel plz ?

[13:38] kyja: and I also tried to connect with direct IP, nothing happens [13:39] Reuben: you need to reboot and just as the machine starts hit esc [13:39] seamus7, I saw the bug, but I didn't see how to fix it. [13:39] might want to print out the info first Reuben [13:39] kyja: thank you for help, I go and try to do something :D, bye [13:39] Maligen, you could try to look at iwconfig in terminal to see what frequency it is set on. [13:39] abcde_: if it's a new bug then it isn't fixed yet ... I was using Azureus perfectly until a couple days ago when I switched to Deluge [13:39] k later [13:39] Repos are still bogged down?

[13:40] kyja: fuxk [13:40] kyja: sorry...erm [13:40] hi [13:40] Maligen, well they should auto negotiate with one another to match frequencies but if they are not then that can be trouble [13:40] one person thinks he has a solution and a patch here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+bug/57875/comments/108 [13:40] dis is an area Linux can still become more friendly. When asked if want to open with another application there is no easy way to navigate to Applications and pick client from menu list... [13:40] kyja I just noticed that my WEP is active :S [13:40] INTit: they should only be enabled if your hardware supports it I believe [13:40] :S:S [13:41] somewhat new to ubuntu-- are there any cool apps out there besides desktop managers?

[13:42] anything easier to use than xtraceroute? for starters [13:42] pdlnhrd: I *think* it might turn up in /media [13:42] pdlnhrd: wouldn't that automatically mount in /media/ or /dev/ or maybe even /mnt/ ... check there. [13:42] Nomikos: no such luck :( [13:42] But I just hosed the install so can't check X-/ [13:42] awh [13:42] Zambezi: stress --cpu 8 --timeout 10s [13:42] stress: info: [14313] dispatching hogs: 8 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd [13:42] stress: info: [14313] successful run completed in 10s [13:42] livingdaylight: you *should* have a list of applications [13:43] do anyone know why my computer starts to be hot like a vulcan when i use Kubuntu, it be so warm that its turns off automatic [13:43] or even an app to help me learn programming of some language would be awesome [13:43] i just coinet a new, shorter word for Compiz Fusion [13:43] *coined [13:43] 'Confusion' [13:43] seamus7: no it doesn't show up in any of those spots... if i just knew how to find the device path i can deal with it.. but i don't knwo where it is [13:43] Prophezy: becuase your systems fans aren't working?

[13:44] jrib, i don't understand "you should have a list of applications"? After an application has been selected from 'other' yes it will be there in future but not the first time. First time one has to know ones way around the tree [13:44] robj232323: try http://diveintopython.org/ [13:44] i mean filesystem [13:44] livingdaylight: nope [13:45] Neodudeman : no its Fujitsu siemens [13:45] Odd-rationale: it's just a short for COMpiz and Fusion, somehow the m has turned into n :) [13:45] that's what i'm talking about.. thanks for some tips besides running 40 desktops [13:45] !! [13:45] jrib, with configuring gmail checker this was also a different but equally good example... how a newbie shuld know /usr/bin/firefox [13:45] Baikonur: ok. I thought it was giving trouble or something. [13:45] Prophezy: Try cleaning out the cooling fan. I know that I just cleaned out my laptop's cooling fan, and it never shuts off anymore.

[13:54] anyone? it doesnt seem very good that my laptop is running with constant hard disk activity, nothing on the screen and the processor fully loaded! [13:54] Neodudeman: maybe the indexer is indexing some really laggy device, thereby causing a lot of hanging IRQ's [13:54] not even dpkg --force-all --purge works [13:54] jrib, your example you put in imageshack [13:54] Fant: sorry :-/ I think so, but don't know how..

Certainly this was my experience yesterday with Deluge. The mere fact of having installed it and having it in Applications menu didn't mean whenit came to wanting to open a torrent that all torrent clien [13:56] ts were on offer to choose from.

It should be in device manager, right?

[13:58] but will ubuntu gutsy recognize my [13:58] jrib ... problem being my machine is already running the 7.10 kernel so it wont detect an upgrade is needed [13:58] integrated gfx?

[14:06] Reuben: It would have done that if you selected 'manual', but when the option you pick up top says, "Resize IDE1 master partition and use freed space", it's going to do what you said... resize the master partition [14:06] if i use (manual) encrypted installation in gutsy, is it correct, that i create a /boot partition and an "encrypted" partition with the rest, then create a lvm-partition inside the encrypted partition and then create a / and a /home partition inside the lvm? [14:06] gmailfs allows to mount the gmail account as a hard disk [14:06] Reuben: I wouldn't know how to repair windows at this point... you may just want to reinstall it, then install gutsy [14:06] Hi!

I installed gutsy, the 'new restricted drivers are available' thing came up, clicked it, enabled it, restarted, and it's perfect [14:13] JuJuBee: I ask if eth0 is also internet because if the computer is doing the ISP login, it will revert any settings you make to whatever the pppoe login gets from server (usually pppoe, can be other types) [14:13] In fact, when I open the interface and change the IP, click save and it reloads the network settings, it changes back before my eyes...

[14:14] jotil: oh, althgouh the nvidia-settings app is incompatible with nvidia-glx-new, so you can't use it. Had to set up dual monitors manually in xorg [14:14] I did.

[14:36] macaco : better to take the final version and put it on a disc, otherwise there may be a few problems [14:36] mmschnei, and then it did a fsck [14:36] I used update-manager in kde to update my system and now adept keeps offering me an upgrade to 7.10 [14:36] macaco: ctrl-f2 and type: gksudo update-manager -d [14:36] oops it was just hidden [14:37] and it's a clean 7.04 server install [14:37] hi, i just uppgraded to 7.10 and enabled compositing. somehow this didn't work quite as expected and now the screen is blank after i login. which file should i edit to remove the compositing? [14:37] techjim: have you tried choosing to 'completely remove' pidgin in synaptic ... which would include Purple ... or manually uninstall that as well and reinstall it [14:37] atariMoe__: downloading it now ... [14:37] macaco: yeah, but do what r3m0t said [14:37] ubutom: mind if I pm you? [14:37] If I do it, it goes through the motions for a few steps and then says nothing to see here, move along [14:37] Oh, it's NOT FAIR! I've uploaded 2x what I've downloaded on the DVD torrent... It's going Sooooooooo slooooooooow. More seeders, please??

Even better than what I was after :-) [14:37] mmschnei no, but i dont know that much about that stuff myself :-) [14:37] seamus7: I tried using debs to install 2.1.0 before gutsy came out. I just deleted pidgin at /usr/loca/bin [14:37] thanks xD [14:37] is the gutsy wallpaper available in 1920x1200?

I'm having issues upgrading to dapper. [14:39] is there a support channel for apparmor? [14:39] Vlet: Hmmmm, I can look... I simply downloaded the .torrent file, saved to my desktop [14:39] kogler: ha ha [14:39] seamus: strange I don't even have a ~/.pidgin [14:40] seamus7, >_> [14:40] rflmnz: ATI will require that you install XGL before compiz will work [14:40] techjim: It's ~/.purple [14:40] techjim; ~/.purple [14:40] why is it it impossible to use alt-rightclick to resize a window [14:40] for libpurple -- finch and Pidgin use it [14:40] with compiz [14:40] seammus7 even on 7.10 [14:40] nightswim; set it in the resize plug-in [14:41] rflmnz: do this in a terminal: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl [14:41] rflmnz: yes [14:41] nightswim; then submit a report to make it the default :) [14:41] I'm working on installing Gutsy, but Ubiquity installer is crashing consistently during the setup process. my hardware runs dapper, edgy, and feisty well, and I have md5sum and verified the live CD. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of trying the alternate install CD. [14:41] since 710 upgrade screwed up my ability in grub to boot the 704 kernel ... is there a way to add the 704 on to the menu ? [14:41] I tried, but something else (context menu or something) keeps popping up if I alt-right click downhillgames :) [14:41] I have a bunch of files with "purple" in the name in /usr/local/bin that are probably from past installs... hrm. === Veinor|ZzZ is now known as Veinor [14:41] mycroftiv : run the installer from the command-line and see if you get any message [14:41] Odd-rationale: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-11478.html [14:41] *shrug* I don't use that in Metacity, so no idea [14:41] it seems like the resize-window, move plugin and some default stuff seem to fight over it [14:42] Same error. pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: purple_core_ensure_single_instance [14:42] rflmnz: but that's all that is needed besides enabling the restricted fglrx in the Restricted Manager Window ... much easier than previous version of ubuntu ... [14:42] r3m0t: good idea, thank you, I shoulda thought of that! [14:42] ok [14:42] How to change gamma in ubuntu ?

[14:42] i am trying to cat /dev/input/event* [14:42] !flood | macaco [14:42] macaco: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [14:42] Oh well, looks like I'm not the only person for whom the new kernel won't work :) [14:42] if i try to cat /dev/input/event1, it works as expected (reports events from 1) [14:42] bittin: did it help? [14:42] How to change gamma in ubuntu ? (msg me pls) [14:42] macaco: same here [14:43] techjim: have you thought of going for a complete fresh installation ... deleting the hidden files in your home directory so that they are reset upon installation as well? [14:43] but if i try to cat multiple files it acts... odd, seems to ignore files === Filype is now known as Filype-away [14:43] :( [14:43] seamus7: yup. [14:43] can someone explain if there is a way to multiplex multiple files at once? [14:43] just did that [14:43] Vlet: Thanks. But I'm looking for the file location of the default splash screen. Have any ideas? [14:43] ahh, i suppose it happens because it reads each file at a time and waits for an EOF [14:43] Ah... It seems to be working now. [14:43] andi_ : xgamma does it [14:44] techjim: then there are some files you're missing and need to find and delete [14:44] seamus7: what about the blank screen? I'm getting it when i install the ATI propertary driver... [14:44] rflmnz: have you installed XGL yet? [14:44] r3m0t but only for 1 session [14:44] Vlet: yes. it changes back to 1280x1024 when i log in. === magicrob1tmonkey is now known as magicrobotmonkey [14:44] Odd-rationale: should be in /usr/share/images somewhere id expect. that is the standard [14:44] i know my monitor _can_ do 70Hz at 1280x960 res [14:44] i want it to be changed everytime i start ubuntu [14:44] I am installing gutsy on my laptop when I chose lvm with encryption it fails as does vlm without encryption,, ? [14:44] how do i force a try in the xorg.conf file? [14:44] andi_ : then go to Preferences -> Sessions and make it run every time you login - unless you need it even earlier than that? [14:45] i think ubotu is dead [14:45] Odd-rationale: I did, but I can't find it now [14:45] seamus7: nope [14:45] should i touch this in the "scree"n section? Option "metamodes" "1280x960_60 +0+0" [14:45] jotil: that's weird... wanna pastebin your xorg.conf? [14:45] rflmnx: that's the solution ... install XGL [14:45] How do i go back to the 704 kernel?/? [14:45] sharperguy: trauma induced coma i expect [14:45] My apt-get update on gutsy is failing with errors like: http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/multiverse/source/Sources.bz2: Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2) [14:45] HOw do I fix it? [14:45] Vlet: I can't find the link to the DVD torrent... [14:45] pike_, :P [14:45] im rebooting into gutsy right now, wish me luck :D [14:45] Does ubuntus EFS encrypt whole the drive or just create a encrypted storage area? [14:45] anyone here running ultramonkey (lvs-dr) on ubuntu dapper or fiesty? [14:46] Vlet: I'd be happy to post the file I have on a pastebin, though. [14:46] pike_: OK I guess I must not have it. Only the gnome splash is there. [14:46] PMantis: ahh... http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ [14:46] I really hope this works.

How would I change the driver from a shell? [14:47] hi, does 7.10 come with gnome-terminal 2.18 ???

[15:13] or will this turf my existing modules/kernel config setup [15:13] that I'm connected through my, previously used, ethernet cable [15:13] I need some help please. [15:13] profanephobia, I'm curious on why this happened [15:13] kuro, what do u mean a macro? keystroke? [15:13] kuro: ask your question [15:13] kuro: how in depth of a macro? [15:14] I should just click on it and then try to figure my way from there? [15:14] MasterShrek: AlrIght! [15:14] can anyone tell me how to get bloomberg tv/radio on 7.10. it's a windows media thang [15:14] FFighter, me too... after you save fstab do sudo mount -a [15:14] redheat, probably your best bet [15:14] FFighter, hopefully it will mount [15:14] Question, after installing Gutsy Gibbon I want to use emerald themes, but apt-get install emerald-themes returns "Package emerald-themes is not available" ? [15:14] ok gonna that.. [15:14] Thank you MasterShrek..gonna give it a try now [15:14] how can i resize my windows partition so i can increase my linux partition? [15:14] thank you and take care [15:14] CapaH: use synaptic or adept to search for the correct package name [15:14] rflmnz: sudo apt-get remove envy [15:14] CapaH, install emerald-theme-manager and download themes from gnome-look.org [15:14] mastershrek, terminal scripes or macro. like i input an website URL into the terminal, and it should send me tot he website within the opera if i have a macro/scripe [15:15] profanephobia, nops, but it showed some helpful messages [15:15] profanephobia, is there a bin somewhere? [15:15] so what you really want is a semantic terminal.. [15:15] "Couldn't find package emerald-theme manager" [15:15] sorry, we've got none of those! [15:15] kuro, put the word opera before it and it should work, if it doesnt enclose the web address in quotes [15:15] seamus7: I've removed it preveously... [15:15] opera -newpage 'url' [15:16] how can i resize my windows partition so i can increase my linux partition? [15:16] jrib: well this is annoying, the usb key will not mount even if i specify the fs type [15:16] Hello all [15:16] CapaH, is there an emerald theme manager in a menu somewhere, system > preferences or something? [15:16] i have problemer to innotek virtualBox.. [15:16] Fant: whats the error msg? [15:16] Master: Yes [15:16] for installering Ubuntu [15:16] Master: There are no themes though [15:16] kosta: must specify the fs type, but it is [15:16] harm: resize, move, copy partition etc is not recommended. it nearly always ends in tears. get a new hard drive. they are cheap as chips these days [15:17] My apt-get update on gutsy is failing with errors like: http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/multiverse/source/Sources.bz2: Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2) How do I fix this? [15:17] profanephobia, http://pastebin.com/m38f515c6 [15:17] errr [15:17] just setup deluge-torrent... i must say, with each such small steps my necessity to go back to windows is becoming thinner and thinner [15:17] Mikkel^: weller, what is yhour problemer? [15:17] ^^ what gordboy said! [15:17] how do I configure vlans on ubuntu? [15:17] mastershrek, ahhhh, what was the opera terminal command line? I missed java aint letting me scroll up to see it? [15:17] is the radeon driver deletet in gutsy? [15:17] rflmnz: I've read that envy is not well tested on gutsy and may break a system ... it ought not be needed on gutsy if you're using X1300 ... what kind of computer are you running [15:17] MasterShrek: My problem Doesn't appear on that new user account! [15:17] kuro: opera -newpage 'url' [15:17] hydrogen : I come to Detct disk.. [15:17] gordboy: iam using a laptop, iam a student.. its just that gparted is being a lil hobo about resizing sda1 [15:17] hydrogen, would that open it up in a new tab? [15:17] seamus7: NF410 Mobo, AMD 3700+ [15:17] kuro: yes [15:17] Pici: are you back? [15:17] Fant: what exactly is the problem with your upgrade? [15:17] CroX, then you need to delete something in your old users configuration, i dont know what though... [15:18] Also, it appears that even when I have "emerald" running, the themes do not seem to be applying to the windows themselves [15:18] seamus7: NF410 Mobo, AMD 3700+ and Ati x1300 [15:18] MasterShrek: No IDea what? [15:18] after i upgraded to 7.10 in update manager, the grafic settings are gone and keyboard settings not what they normal where. IS there a easy way to get back to how it was before? just install the nvidia driver again? [15:18] mc44: stopped at 70ish % rebooted and now all i have is a blank background when i go into X [15:18] kuro, just put opera before the web address [15:18] Fant, tell me what command you're using [15:18] hydrogen : i know not what Detect disk is to -> See here : No Disk drive was detected. ) - Driver needed for your disk drive: -> And i know not what my disk is!! [15:18] CroX, no idea what file to change/remove [15:18] harm: gparted/qtparted are unreliable *at best*. just pray it hasn't started an operation without asking first ... [15:18] hydrogen, is there a website i can find command lines for opera? or is there a basic outline for all interweb browser? [15:18] Fant: have you tried reconfiguring X? [15:18] Fant: what graphics card? [15:18] kuro: opera --help [15:18] Vlet: are you still here? [15:18] kuro: on the command line === Kee1 is now known as Keef_ [15:18] so is the auto upgrade to 7.10 safe from 7.04 ? [15:18] ah wait I got emerald to work... on its default theme [15:18] Anyone with Feisty and a dualcore CPU? [15:18] hydrogen, thank you so much :) [15:19] mc44: its nvidia, and yes i have installed the nvidia driver, but still no working. [15:19] tru_`z24: i managed it ok [15:19] rgr [15:19] Zambezi, used to be, why? [15:19] hey.. should my wlan usb dongle appear as wlan0 instead of eth2 ?? [15:19] FFighter, sry i was away [15:19] Fant: have you tried using the nv driver to get into x? [15:19] jze, maybe, maybe not [15:19] hi, can someone tell me how to set the power management "put display to sleep when inactive for" lowwer than 11minutes? [15:19] I've upgraded and now my PC is crashing. The last thing I can read is 'starting gnome display manager'. Also the recovery boot options do this. How can I get into a console? [15:19] Fant: I have to go in a bit, but assume you have main, restricted, universe and multiverse pointing at gutsy. Just apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, if no errors, then you are on gutsy. You can run apt-get install -f to try to resolve broken packages. dpkg --configure -a to check for packages not configured [15:19] rflmnz: my next suggestion would be to find someone more advanced than I am to help you ... perhaps try the #compiz channel [15:19] if i want to remove the original bittorrent client it says it has to remove ubuntu-desktop... is that okay? same thing with evolution too [15:19] mc44: yes thats why i am doing now [15:19] MasterShrek: I would like to know how much better the CPU is then mine on a ten seconds stresstest in stress. [15:19] jze: my wireless card usually appears as eth1, but it doesn't make a huge difference. [15:19] Hi there!!! Just a couple of things!!! 1st: I've been using ubuntu since 6.04! Congratulations on the 7.10! It has improve a lot!!!!!!!!!!! [15:19] Keel: yes [15:19] Hulug_737, you need to reinstall your video driver [15:19] MasterShrek: It' [15:20] when did 7.10 stable come out? was it yesterday? [15:20] FFighter, before you exited windows did you properly shut down? [15:20] ah [15:20] ok.. Thanks! [15:20] MasterShrek: It's not found in GG repo, so I need Feisty. [15:20] kuro: yes. 18th october [15:20] Shrek: I can't do anything. It crashes. I can't get into a console. [15:20] FFighter, or did you hard boot or hibernate? [15:20] Ok, guys, I'm giving up on this, I'll make a clean install of Gutsy (already have the ISO), so I have basically two questions: 1) If for some reason I decide to make a clean install of Feisty over this (upgraded-Gutsy), will I have problems? 2) Will the clean install of Gutsy automatically recognize my home various "settings folders" (e.g. Thunderbird, Pidgin, etc) === w4ett_ is now known as w4ett [15:20] gordboy, thank :) [15:20] Vlet: Could you do me a huge favour and pastebin ur xorg.conf please :) [15:20] Zambezi, i dont know for sure [15:20] hey! i've got a question: is there an audio player (preferably with an interface similar to rhythmbox or maybe even a plugin for rhythmbox) that lets me choose the audio output device? i've got a c-media usb headset and normal speakers. so i'd like to be able to easily switch the output device. i know that amarok has got such a function, but i simply don't like it's interface [15:20] rflmnz: if you are unable to get help in a timely fashion... you may have to resort to reinstalling gutsy [15:20] i like desktops better. pity for people who only use laptops. [15:20] jrib: yeah thanks for your help, i tryed all those already [15:20] ok.. Im just having problems with it.. It won't connect to my wireless network.. i've tried to set up the connection manually and with nm-applet but neither has worked.. [15:20] kuro: tho "stable" is a bit of a misnomer. dolphin has unresolved errors, as does kdelibs [15:20] How does one use emerald window manager instead of metacity? Everything else in compiz is working lovely, but I still have metacity themed windows [15:20] Hey, i'm trying to make backup for my /home/user and everything in it. but here's an error I keep getting, http://pastebin.com/m40e9a96 [15:21] * genii sips a coffee and awaits news from fuzzy [15:21] How can I boot into a console? Or interrupt the boot process seomehow? [15:21] and 2nd thing!!! I recently switched to AT&T and now, I can't send an e-mail from my computer, I need to go to the webpage to do it. Do guys know if there is any way to fix that? [15:21] fuuuuuuk i'm so sleeeeeeeepy [15:21] ZaphodBeeblebro1: unless you have a seperate /home partition, clean installing will remove overwrite everything [15:21] MasterShrek: I want a new computer and know how much faster a C2D is then my computers. [15:21] jrib: no broken packages are found [15:21] Vlet: you installed emerald? [15:21] mc44: I do [15:21] hey! i've got a question: is there an audio player (preferably with an interface similar to rhythmbox or maybe even a plugin for rhythmbox) that lets me choose the audio output device? i've got a c-media usb headset and normal speakers. so i'd like to be able to easily switch the output device. i know that amarok has got such a function, but i simply don't like it's interface [15:21] wow there's so many people talking here.. [15:21] how do i change default font size in ubuntu? [15:21] ...go to settings. [15:21] gordboy, i had had some big problems with 7.04 stable version anyways. I couldn't open any music files, or video files, or video games. So, this new version will either be better or worse for me [15:22] Keef_: sure... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41197/ [15:22] ZaphodBeeblebro1: then it should pick up settings [15:22] I desperately need help to get into a console before my PC crashes. [15:22] jotil: yes [15:22] pwnt- do you use rsync? [15:22] oh, well Zambezi the fact that a cpu is dual core doesnt affect how fast it is, it just affects how fast it is when multiple things are running [15:22] Vlet: thanks! [15:22] mc44 or jrib: would you mind pastebin your sources.list so i can confirm mine is correct ? [15:22] Keef_: good luck [15:22] seamus7: never heard of it [15:22] can i remove ubuntu-desktop package without worrying? [15:22] hubuntu exit out of x systems by CTRL+ALT+2 or CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE [15:22] flick: yes [15:22] thanks [15:22] mc44: How about the Feisty issue? I mean let's say I find problems even with a Gutsy clean install. Can I do a Feisty clean install over it without problems? [15:22] flick: yes, but when you dist-upgrade you should install it again [15:23] the font is very small now [15:23] Fant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1035/ [15:23] Vlet: did you turn on the window decoration plugin in compiz? [15:23] hmm [15:23] yaaaay distro update.. i've been doing it for... 7hs now [15:23] hubuntu: If you usae ctrl-alt-f2 that will just swap you to a console, X is still running. if you do that go back with alt-f7 [15:23] flick: that means in 6 months so writte it down somewhere ;) [15:23] MasterShrek: Thanks man! Your question about Compiz made me remember it's fscked up macros and when I looked, I had a .compiz directory in my home. I deleted that, restarted X and voila! It worked. :) [15:23] mc44: thank you very much [15:23] i hate my packet shaped bs dorm connection :( [15:23] Hello, can someone please help me? My problem concerns booting into a console. [15:23] gahhH! 7.10 upgrade totally fsckd my system :( [15:23] can't i upgrade without having it? [15:23] Hulug_737: ask the actual question [15:23] Mine, too. [15:23] ZaphodBeeblebro1: well, you may have some problems if the formatting of settings are changed in newer versions or whatever, but aside from that no [15:23] Hulug_737: Whats the question? [15:24] pwnt- rsync is a powerful command for backing up and extremely simple ... it will check for updates to files and only copy the difference .. makes it faster . for instance in a terminal I do ... rsync -av "/home/username" "/media/externaldrive/archive" [15:24] so, how is the new version of ubuntu? i haven't yet upgrade yet. anything noticely different? [15:24] jotil: yep :/ [15:24] cool CroX, glad to hear it [15:24] kuro: it says categorically on the ubuntu website that most music/video formats are proprietary. all you need to do is enable the medibuntu repository. if all this is greek to you, go back to windows. it's funny how demandinmg people get of FREE software. especially children and teenagers who haven't been fleeced their entire adult life for crappy commercial software [15:24] Bo^Dick: System > Preference > Appearance > Font [15:24] Both boot options crash the system and last thing I can read is starting gnome display manager. [15:24] seamus7: thanks [15:24] pwnt- see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/backup === Filype-away is now known as Filype [15:24] I can't get into the console to do anything. [15:24] mc44: yes ours are identical except mine is us and yours is gb [15:24] flick: you can upgrade but not dist-upgrade (e.g. feisty-->gutsy) [15:24] Vlet: that's odd! :P [15:24] Kuro: The only thing I noticed was it broke my dual monitor, had to go back to feisty. [15:24] fn'Hulug_737: how does it crash? it jst freezes? [15:24] Vlet: tried: emerald --replace ? [15:24] Fant: main and restricted are in there ok? [15:25] jotil: oh, it just took a relog to get it working after installing emerald... bug duhhh for me :) [15:25] mc44: yes [15:25] Fant: so nv won't boot into x either? [15:25] Display stops to receive signal and alt+ctrl+f? doesn't work. [15:25] geefinator, don't say that. i also have dual display :( [15:25] Vlet: hehe. cool. [15:25] geefinator, did you try using the gusty dual monitor gui? [15:25] ok. guys: Thanks a lot, mc44, jotil for all the effort (the others aren't here now) Hope to enter here soon and say "Everything works! I love Gutsy!" [15:25] Hulug_737: Are you using an intel915/945 type video? [15:25] ahh... probably then i will keep it installed [15:25] profanephobia: Hah, that thing is a joke. [15:25] jotil: thanks [15:25] ZaphodBeeblebro1: did it work? [15:25] geefinator, it worked for me [15:25] It's a ati adaptor., [15:25] i just installed 64 bit Gutsy on my AMD64. I can't find the tapioca package which I use for voice chatting on GoogleTalk. Is there another way to be able to use Gtalk? [15:26] and remove it after i dist-upgrade to the next version which comes with LTS [15:26] hubuntu does it get to the login screen? [15:26] mc44: well either the gutsy nv driver or the nvidia one will boot into x, but only the background loads. you can tell that gnome-panel is attempting to load because it flashes at the bottom a few times and then you are stuck on the background picture. you cant bring up anything at that point [15:26] kuro: you might be able to get it to work, but with my shitty ati vid card all i could get was clone. [15:26] ZaphodBeeblebro1: i got mine to work though. same card. GeForce 6200. [15:26] profanephobia: Well I am glad it worked for someone. [15:26] seamus7: but I wonder why that error keep happening for me [15:26] I simply need some way to get into a console. [15:26] jotil: It didn't [15:26] ZaphodBeeblebro1: i had my system fully operational yesterday. it more or less does work nicely first-time. just a couple of glitches, which should be sorted out soon [15:26] Fant: ah so it's not a driver problem [15:26] Bo^Dick: welcome [15:26] jotil: I'll maje a clean one [15:26] gordboy, im sorry i missed that, because im using java at school right now. i did install the codecs and everything i needed to play it. it use to work for over 7 months and one day it just stop working. everytime i try to open a file, the whole system freezes [15:26] It crashes on loading gnome. [15:26] geefinator, maybe itll get better :) [15:26] Why I can't backup /home/user with "cp" ? [15:26] mc44: not that i can tell .. its something the update just hosed [15:26] ZaphodBeeblebro1: good luck with the installation then [15:26] that's ok gordboy [15:26] hubuntu then load something else [15:26] ty a lot jotil [15:26] Why I can't backup /home/user with "cp" ? http://pastebin.com/m40e9a96 [15:26] profanephobia: I am keeping my fingers crossed :) [15:27] later guys! === bjorn_ is now known as BTL [15:27] jotil: too many damn osx-ish themes ;) [15:27] Fant: do you get the login screen? [15:27] pwnt-: Why would you not just use tar? [15:27] hubuntu do you get the login screen? [15:27] vlet, im on osx. it's even worse in the real thing :(((((( [15:27] Hulug_737: I'm asking about i915/945 video becase: ctrl-alt-f1 actually does work, except it just gives what looks like the gdm/kdm screen. but it actually responds to text typed in even tho you cannot see it. [15:27] kuro: haha [15:27] geefinator: use tar? explain more please [15:27] hello, how do i upgrade from a relase candidate to the gutsy gibbon? [15:27] my xserver won't start nvidia crashes b4 login, i was trying to make dual screen, i even backed it up. now the back up xorg.conf isn't working. can anyone help? I've been searching and searching :(( [15:27] Vlet: Man! Seeding at 1.3MB/s ? I can only get 850KB/s to go out... the sad thing is, I'm now only getting 13KB/s down from the torrent... More seeders, please! :) [15:27] "i did nothing. then one day it just didn't work" <--- far and away the most common LIE in computing [15:27] It's an amd board with ati card. [15:28] vlet, sigh. ha [15:28] pwnt- I don't know .. symbolic links and wine and using the cp command can be tricky ... rsync will handle that for you appropriately .. unlike just using cp [15:28] FFighter, did you ge tit? [15:28] Vlet: that's why i use metacity. customize it to my own liking. i am thinking of making an iconset from icons i collected interfacelift.com [15:28] FFighter, s/ge tit/ get it [15:28] pwnt-: Tar is the backup/archive tool for the command line. do a man tar in the terminal and read up. It is one of the nicest things about linux in my book. [15:28] seamus7: Thanks brother:) Usng rsync now [15:28] hi, can someone tell me how to set the power management "put display to sleep when inactive for" lowwer than 11minutes? sorry to repeat again [15:28] it says could not download all repositories index? [15:28] pwnt- :) [15:28] I just upgraded to 7.10. seams like xorg is fucked up, can i just copy the old xorg.conf and reboot_ [15:28] mc44: yes but its not the standard one, its white with a yellow flower on it. and i get the following message before it appears: :Couldnt recognize the image file format for file /usr/share/gdm/themes/human/bottom_bar.svg [15:28] s /?// [15:28] GNUtoo: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [15:28] theres so many .... people in here [15:28] geefinator: dude, I'm trying the whole directory & directories inside it with files in them aswell, /home/user [15:28] geefinator: rsync is doing the job for me, thanks anyway :) [15:28] genii, thanks i'll do that [15:29] Poul|Raider: Make a backup first, but Yes... should be able to do that. [15:29] pwnt-: uh yeah tar works on whole directories... [15:29] Is there anything I can do in grub to prevent gnome from loading? [15:29] My apt-get update on gutsy is failing with errors like: http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/multiverse/source/Sources.bz2: Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2) How do I fix this? [15:29] pwnt-: plus it compresses the archive into a zip file, but rsync works too :) [15:29] gordboy, are you replying to me???? with that "quote" and if so. all i could think of was an update or something. i installed lineage 2 on my computer. but i just copy the files from windows. thats the biggest change i made within ubuntu to change anything around. it just stop working one day. i kid ya not. [15:29] geefinator: true. give me the command so i can make my whole /home/user in a tar archive:) I'm in a bit hurry can't read whole man please. [15:29] Poul|Raider: dude, my xorg is fucked up too [15:29] UbuntuGuy: perhaps due to server load? try changing repositories. [15:29] Hulug_737 can you get to your login screen? or does it crash before that [15:29] It crashes. [15:29] haz: did that work for you? [15:30] Hulug_737: it's called single user mode... let me find it [15:30] question: my PS/2 keyboard is recognized in the CD startup menu, but I can not use it at all once ubuntu (7.1) is loaded. any idea? [15:30] pwnt- tar czf directory,tar.gz /path/of/directory [15:30] With recovery option, it asks for root pswd and when pressing ctrl+d it crashes. [15:30] Hulug_737: Try booting to Recovery [15:30] Interesting. The installation comes with a gcc, but fails to install libc-dev. Non-working compilers are fun. NOT. [15:30] aaro1: does it just require a restart once done with editing, or is there like a rehash command? [15:30] lol [15:30] I've tried the -b option in grub. But I'm not totally sure where to write it to pass it to init. [15:30] Anyone recognizes the problem where your wireless keyboard doesn't work at the login screen of Ubuntu? [15:30] Fant: what does "apt-cache policy feisty-gdm-themes" say? [15:30] pwnt-: you might want to and the v option so you can see what it is doing. [15:30] Recovery doesn't help. It still loads gnome and crashes. [15:30] seamus7: in the terminal now rsync is outputting alot of errors :( [15:30] Hulug_737 maybe spam CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE while booting up? [15:30] haz: You need to log out and back in to reset X I think. Someone else correct me if I'm wrong [15:31] genii, if it says 0 upgraded 0 newly installed etc...is it that i'm already in gutsy gibon? [15:31] geefinator: thanks. [15:31] pwnt-: np. [15:31] Xargo: similar problem on my side: PS/2 keyboard does not work once the CD has loaded (works in CD startiup menu) [15:31] Haz: what are you trying to do? [15:31] Hulug_737: OK. Add "rw init=/bin/bash" to the kernel line in grub and boot it [15:31] GNUtoo: Yup [15:31] Ok. I'll try, thanks. [15:31] im out guys, thanks for the help. [15:31] jotil: he changed some xorg.conf settings [15:31] mc44: 1 sec ill tell you, rebooting [15:31] Xargo: yes, my bluetooth keyboard doesn't work at the login screen but after i login, it works [15:31] on: well, i don't know about the live cd, it's just when i installed ubuntu [15:31] yeager: same here === QwertyM is now known as we [15:32] geefinator: do I need "sudo" to do that for my home directory? [15:32] pwnt-: Yeah [15:32] does someone know how to fix an upgrade that got shut off half way through? [15:32] <|box|> downloaded the .bin file for realplayer ran the commands its now installing :) i kinda like this linux bit of a learning curve but google is my friend [15:32] pwnt-: I would just get in the habit of putting sudo in front of any system altering commands.

[15:34] mc44: i have a feeling there are a bunch of things that the upgrade didnt install properly [15:34] Howdy. [15:34] busy place. =) [15:35] Gnome is freezing on me every time I select 'Quit...' from the System menu, before the options window even shows up. How can I determine what is holding things up? [15:35] <|box|> hey .bin files are really easy went to use linux before but friends said linux is too hard [15:35] how do i get to the kubuntu channel [15:35] Fant: well if you didn't have the ubuntu-desktop metapackge installed, lots of things won't have been pulled in properly [15:35] what kind of speed are upgraders getting at the moment? [15:35] mc44: still same 1.79 installed now [15:35] Urblix: /j #kubuntu [15:35] heh, thats what i get for using vista to seed ubuntu. that plus intensive ssh = crashed network drivers [15:35] hey |box| indeed they are [15:35] thanks [15:35] sexcopter: it's getting better === we is now known as QwertyM [15:35] Fant: did it want to install any dependencies at the same time?

[15:36] just download it [15:36] :) [15:36] comes with an install script, is easy [15:37] notepad? not nano:P [15:37] fooey: the safest thing would be to backup all your documents while you still have a functioning system, download the gutsy iso, and install clean [15:37] Serious problem: I configured that the screen should turn off if I close the lap top lid (no suspend or anything). The problem is, that the screen turns on again just 3 seconds after I closed the lid. So the lid is closed but the screen is on all night one. And I don't want that ^^ I'm using CF if it matters. What should I do? [15:37] yup just wondered Y is vanished from repos along with the vmplayer [15:37] <|box|> <<<< windows fanboy text editor then :P [15:37] is there a specific channel for problems that happened during upgrading? [15:37] mc44: nope it just installed itself and nothing else [15:37] What Do i have to delete so my GNOME desktop configuration goes to Default. because i've made alot of changes in gnome panels/style and I mess it up. [15:37] i installed 7.10 and it is taking me 30 mins to dl vlc player what is wrong [15:37] Sun_Paladin: no [15:37] Vlet, I was hoping that that would be the last resort [15:38] it'samazing how I can update my system totally and just do everything else as if nothing was going on (besides some applet disappearing... :) Ubuntu Just rokcs! [15:38] since the update to gutsy my desktop machine won't network automatically. I have to set it to local zeroconf network and force a dhcp config. if I set the network type to dhcp it won't connect at all. [15:38] hubuntu: New Linux user? [15:38] Fant: probably not a dependency issue then :/ From the login page did you try the safe gnome session or whatever its called from the options? [15:38] Vlet: do you know how to fix an upgrade that got shut off half way through? [15:38] mc44: let me try [15:38] aaro1: no, 10 year user.. but still... :) [15:38] What Do i have to delete so my GNOME desktop configuration goes to Default. because i've made alot of changes in gnome panels/style and I mess it up. [15:39] pwnt-: in your home directory, there are soem hidden folders that begin with .gnome and .gconf... MOVE (not delete) those somewhere temporarily and see if that does the trick [15:39] Sun_Paladin: no. Does your system still run? [15:39] Vlet: Okay. [15:40] mc44: well in failsafe mode i get my original desktop and my old icons ... but gnome-panel still fails to load [15:40] whats the ubuntu boot screen package named? [15:40] when I drag and drop folders in nautilus to move and copy, are all links and permissions preserved, for both move and copy? [15:40] hubuntu: Ahh, gotcha. Ubuntu definitely rocks. It gets better and better with each release. When you look back and see how far it has come, it makes you wonder how far it will go [15:40] Vlet: no. everytime I try to run Ubuntu, it keeps showing the loading screen. I'm using Ubuntu on a laptop that is dual booted with Ubuntu and XP [15:40] after an upgrade to feisty on my server, gdmflexiserver --xnest doesn't let me log in. After I enter my password it goes back to asking for my username immediately. Any clues? [15:40] Serious problem: I configured that the screen should turn off if I close the lap top lid (no suspend or anything). The problem is, that the screen turns on again just 3 seconds after I closed the lid. So the lid is closed but the screen is on all night one. And I don't want that ^^ I'm using CF if it matters. What should I do? [15:40] Fant: can you open a terminal? try killall gnome-panel [15:41] i just installed 7.10 and updated packages, now NVIDIA driver is not working, falling back to 640x480, i need help [15:41] Sun_Paladin: do you have anything that you need to get off ubuntu? You may be better off just doing a clean install if you can [15:41] mc44: i can, but its not running so i get no process killed [15:41] Hi i want to mount the My Document Folder into ~/Documents.. so in fstab how can i find out which device its on? /dev/sda1? [15:41] Fant: try running it from the terminal [15:41] Vlet: will the install CD help me do a clean install on that partition? or a better question can I choose the partition that it will install in? [15:41] Hi! I just have one question! How can I configure yahoo e-mail on thunderbird? [15:41] profanephobia, Hey, sorry, had to go out for a few minutes [15:42] FFighter, no prob [15:42] What does the OEM install do on the LiveCD? [15:42] profanephobia, I haven't received your messages (only part of it, seems XChat truncated them) [15:42] when I drag and drop folders in nautilus to move and copy, are all links and permissions preserved, for both move and copy? [15:42] mc44: just did and pastbining the results now [15:42] is this the help room? [15:42] bobbo: OEM i think is unattended [15:42] !pastebin [15:42] Shapeshifter-: Make sure DPMS is enabled/set on for your display in the xorg.conf [15:42] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [15:42] arpeggi: yes it is [15:42] hello [15:42] bobbo: let me know when you find out :P [15:42] i have a quick two questions! [15:42] profanephobia, so do you know what could have happened? [15:42] is it possible to download the dvd version of Gutsy Gibbon ? [15:42] FFighter, k ... when you last booted windows did you properly shut down or did you hard boot or hibernate? [15:42] Xserver falling back to 640x480, is it because of new kernel [15:42] Gigi: you have to have a premium subscription to download messages from yahoo onto thunderbird. [15:42] question: my PS/2 keyboard is recognized in the CD startup menu, but I can not use it at all once ubuntu (7.1) is loaded. any idea? [15:42] jotil: i think OEM is unattended install [15:42] Shapeshifter, shut down [15:42] jotil: i might run it on an old box and see what happens :D [15:42] Sun_Paladin: yeah, that's what the install CD is for :) When it comes time to partition, select manual, and change your ext3 partition's mount point to / instead of whatever it wants it to be [15:43] OK, thanks [15:43] Hi i want to mount the My Document Folder into ~/Documents.. so in fstab how can i find out which device its on? /dev/sda1? [15:43] Noiano: yes. [15:43] jotil, where? i cannot find it? [15:43] profanephobia, Actually I don't have Windows installed, I don't dual boot... this partition is a legacy thing that I used to backup files from my windows [15:43] 1 - i've just installed the latest nvidia drivers in the livecd so i can try compiz - its asking me to restart. will i lose this installation when i restart as i'm in the livecd? [15:43] aaro1: definitely... I used it first as the gnome live CD (gnoppix...) based on warty I think, So I waited for Hoary 5.04 to come out and I swaped every other GNU/Linux I had (Fedora Core, Debian) in my machines and had installed in everything I find in my way since (servers, laptops, desktops)... Now I'm working on the community actively and It's just amazing what this sorceres of Canonical and the MOTUs manage to thrill... Go (u)buntu! [15:43] mc44: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41198 [15:43] Vlet: and if I want to get some documents off of Ubuntu, how do I do that? I ran recovery mode and it said that I had to run dpkg or something manually [15:43] hi someone can shout me to test irssi libnotify script [15:43] FFighter, oh! ok well then open fstab [15:43] arpeggi: you cannot install drivers on the livecd. [15:43] damn [15:43] !samba [15:43] samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT [15:43] so i cant test compiz [15:43] anyone know why adept would be wanting me to do a version upgrade when im already running 7.10? [15:43] i need help for NVIDIA [15:44] when I drag and drop folders in nautilus to move and copy, are all links and permissions preserved, for both move and copy? [15:44] eolo999: [15:44] dw i'm still going to set it up later as a partition [15:44] profanephobia, ok [15:44] genii: DPMS is enabled [15:44] jxxt: I need it on. [15:44] arpeggi: no, you can get another livecd that already has compiz setup. [15:44] WorkingOnWise, yes [15:44] thanks aboutblank it works! [15:44] question 2: does anyone know why my text wiggles in the pidgin window when i'm typing? [15:44] how do I get just the initialization scripts from a package [15:44] FFighter, one sec [15:44] MasterShrek: does it give you a list of packages it wants to upgrade? [15:44] it's wonderful! [15:44] eolo999: [15:44] MasterShrek: you see ma as WorkingOnWise? [15:44] what is the hotkey to open the run line.. i totally forgot.. [15:44] Sun_Paladin: oh, boot off the live cd (installer cd) and before you actually run the installer, you should be able to access your old ubuntu partition and copy things over to a thumb drive or whatever [15:44] How do i install language support for wine windows applications [15:44] ma=me [15:44] BRB after fixing the apartment :) [15:44] XsteelWolf: #winehq [15:45] FFighter, and once more replace that line with "/dev/hda5 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0" [15:45] harm: For that you will need 2 mount commands. One to mount the device (after you discover the proper one), then you will need to bind-mount the subdir that device to the Documents dir [15:45] * Symmetria hopes this keeps working, to fix the load on my ubuntu mirror server, I nfs mounted the ubuntu-archive to another machine, and added another http daemon on that other machine that supports another 5k clients [15:45] aboutblank: can you do it again while win is not focused...go! [15:45] Noiano: http://torrent.ubuntu.com/releases/gutsy/release/dvd/ubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso.torrent [15:45] Shapeshifter, There are some issues with hibernate etc so i am not sure what to suggest [15:45] woot - seeding the DVD at 6.2 Megs a second :) [15:45] can i set up a partition from this installation? [15:45] XsteelWolf: wine's own applications or windows applications? [15:45] Fant: ldd /usr/bin/gnome-panel [15:45] FFighter, once saved do sudo mount -a [15:45] the 7.10 upgrader wont download.. any way to force a download or delete whatever is cached so it tries to download a fresh version? [15:45] genii: well atm my windows partii is mounted in /media/sda1 can i create a symbolic link to the MyDoc folders or something? [15:45] and how can i view my windows installation in livecd? [15:45] jotil, thanks [15:45] arpeggi: yes. [15:45] since the update to gutsy my desktop machine won't network automatically. I have to set it to local zeroconf network and force a dhcp config. if I set the network type to dhcp it won't connect at all. [15:45] Vlet: are there instructions on how to boot off the live Cd? when I start up my computer it goes into the dual boot screen and then I'm allowed to choose an operating system. Is the cd supposed to kick in before that? [15:45] can anyone tell me how to set up firewall so it doesnt conflict with WoW updater. Running it through cedega [15:45] profanephobia, mounted! [15:46] MasterShrek: thanks. [15:46] arpeggi: define 'view' [15:46] numus not sure but sudo apt-get clear or clean ? [15:46] FFighter, sweet! [15:46] !gparted [15:46] GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [15:46] profanephobia, I just wonder why this happened [15:46] profanephobia, why we had to force it [15:46] Noiano: fyi, that was for 32bit systems. you can find the 64bit one in the same directory. [15:46] yeager, im trying to run a windows chinese program using wine,it comes up with wierd characters [15:46] sisseck: I run wow with wine. so smooth:) [15:46] mc44: want the output ? [15:46] sisseck: there is a faq for that on blizzard's forums. [15:46] harm: It is not a good idea to make Documents folder in linux a symlink. [15:46] not sure if clean did anything [15:46] FFighter, not really sure [15:46] sisseck: easiest way is to install firestarter to configure it. its nice and graphical but there shouldnt be any firewall rules setup by defula [15:46] Fant: pastebin it yeah [15:46] genii: howcome? [15:46] question about sound: My optical out only has two channels (L/R) while the all the headphone jacks work fine (alsa, audigy2 notebook) [15:46] Sun_Paladin: yeah, it should... you might have to adjust something in your bios. If the CD is in the drive, your computer should boot off it before it even tries to see what's on the hard drives [15:46] jotil, I have a 32bit system :) [15:46] the upgrader froze [15:46] mc44: 41199 [15:46] ok thanks all, i'll try the firestarter thing [15:47] genii: and no problems if symlink wont work but can i instead mount it then into my Documents folder? [15:47] by view i mean just access my files in my vista installation from the livecd [15:47] Vlet: okay, I will try that. thanks very much for the help. [15:47] question: my PS/2 keyboard is recognized in the CD startup menu, but I can not use it at all once ubuntu (7.1) is loaded. any idea? [15:47] XsteelWolf: ok, sounds like there are issues with character encoding. try ask in #wine [15:47] harm: Various reasons. but imagine trying to open in filemanager a symlink which points to nenexistant device [15:47] genii: i just want quick access to my windowsMydocuments folder :) [15:47] Sun_Paladin: glad to :) [15:47] mc44: i really do appreciate all this help [15:47] Pici, sry to bother but how can i restore my ubuntu boot screen? [15:47] profanephobia, thanks so much! [15:47] Hi, Can anyone help me with my soundcard. The optical signal doesnt seem to be active [15:47] if i upgrade to gutsy with the command sudo apt-get dist-upgrade the /home stays as it is ?? [15:47] Fant: eh, we aren't getting anywhere :P [15:47] FFighter, no porb glad i could help [15:47] I know k3b is a KDE app to burn stuff. but whats similier program for Gnome? I know i can run k3b from gnome, but just wondering if there is an app for gnome. [15:47] genii: the Harddrive is auto mounted via fstab @ boot anyway :) so wont matter [15:47] When I run the software update using Fawn, I'm not given the option to update to Gibbon. I've installed every update that is available. Any ideas? [15:47] pwnt-: gnomebaker or brasero [15:48] marko_: It's recommended to use the GUI updater, as it does 'more' [15:48] Does anyone know what i can do about a caps lock freeze error? I've just installed gutsy and get this freeze occasionally... this happened with my 7.04 previously also. [15:48] when i try to start the compiz config settings manager, it gives me the following error.... http://pastebin.com/m108b81ee [15:48] HourPastMidnight: sudo apt-distupgrade or something :P [15:48] question: my PS/2 keyboard is recognized in the CD startup menu, but I can not use it at all once ubuntu (7.1) is loaded. any idea? (keyboard worked when I installed 6.06 lts at it's time) [15:48] any time i try to install any package in adept it gives me a break error, and the command line gives me the following error http://pastebin.ca/742431 [15:48] profanephobia: I dont know everything ;) [15:48] Vlet, [15:48] question: In feisty I had multiple monitor working with Xinerama; this has been dropped for xrandr. How can I basically have Ubuntu (after just upgrading to 7.10) generate a brand new xorg.conf ? [15:48] jotil, where do I find the md5sums? [15:48] when i want to upgrade the window freezes [15:48] :s [15:48] m4stertsunami: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [15:48] hello, wich version of gnash does ubuntu use(trunk or what???) because i have the computer that hangs when i go on youtube(when there is a video it hangs before loading it) [15:48] yeager: Thank you.

[15:49] harm: Best way is make a subdir in the Documents. then mount the subdir of what contained My Documents in Windows into the linux Documents folder using the bind type of mount. This is for mounting one directory under another directory [15:49] Fant: hmm some stuff is in /usr/local/lib which is odd. [15:49] also how do it turn off the messages in this window telling me when people join and leave the channel? [15:49] Is there any difference between the Gutsy Gibson AMD64 DVD ISO and the CD ISO? [15:49] card 0: CK8S [NVidia CK8S], device 2: Intel ICH - IEC958 [NVidia CK8S - IEC958] [15:49] Pici, np thanks anyways [15:49] jxxt: Yes [15:49] i use the i810 driver [15:49] ddl [15:49] koj si ti be [15:49] a [15:49] marko, you should also check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [15:49] ?

O.o iam just going to try this symlink :) [15:49] sjjkzhkhoydosud; h [15:49] genii: why not use a symlink? [15:49] wtf what kind of language is that [15:49] norwegian probably [15:49] * genii sips a coffee and sighs [15:49] genii: whats the command for symlink?

[15:50] dystopianray: cheers [15:50] if i do an upgrade to 7.10 now, is the repo still slow for downloading? [15:50] Fant: yeah, you must have installed some crap which is using different libraries [15:50] hammer123: try a repo in another country [15:50] Pici: I read the upgrade notes. The instructions say the update manager will prompt me to do a dist upgrade, which it does not. [15:50] Hourpastmidnight, OK I just did a quick sudo apt-get update then I got the new release dialog :-) [15:50] hammer123: yeah... its slow in aus [15:50] hammer123: depends on the repo :0 [15:50] question: my PS/2 keyboard is recognized in the CD startup menu and I can use it there to navigate / change things, but I can not use it at all once ubuntu (7.1) is loaded. It's like no keyboard is connected: No key works. any idea? (keyboard worked when I installed 6.06 lts at it's time) [15:50] mc44: i have tons of crap on this box so it wouldnt supprise me [15:50] hammer123: use the 'find fastest' tool in the software sources applet [15:50] Fant: oh great :/ :P [15:50] hi guys i have whatever kernel is in 7.04 at the moment, i need to build a custom module for it, how should i go about doing this? could i just download the sources and build the module, or will i have to build a whole new kernel as well? === on is now known as ong [15:51] question: my PS/2 keyboard is recognized in the CD startup menu and I can use it there to navigate / change things, but I can not use it at all once ubuntu (7.1) is loaded. It's like no keyboard is connected: No key works. any idea? (keyboard worked when I installed 6.06 lts at it's time) [15:51] HourPastMidnight: you need to run update-manager -c [15:51] how to choose another country? [15:51] hammer123: UK repos are fine [15:51] harm: i have most of my home dir as symlinks to another drive [15:51] ONE MORE TIME : since the update to gutsy my desktop machine won't network automatically. I have to set it to local zeroconf network and force a dhcp config. if I set the network type to dhcp it won't connect at all. [15:51] mc44: really everything is just a package for ubuntu except cedega [15:51] can i load a kernel with a loaded kernel? [15:51] on; it's 7.10, not 7.1, no, you can not represent 7.10 as 7.1 [15:51] does someone knows gnash or i810? [15:51] Fant: try removing cedega [15:51] dystopianray: Replacing the Documents folder with a symlink to the old windows My Documents is really not a great idea, which is what he's attempting [15:51] Fant: --purge it [15:51] jimmacdonald: how do you connect to the network? [15:51] Any Ubuntu Experts know this one ... rsync is giving "operation not permitted" errors on attempts to backup a home directory ... what would likely be causing this? [15:51] I configured my lap top screen to turn off if I close the lid. The problem is that it turns on again if I accidentally move the mouse. Is there a way to fix this or cut off mouse input when the lid is closed? It would actually be ideal if the USB port where the mouse is connected would be disabled on closing the lid (so that the mouse is turned off completely) [15:51] ong ^ [15:51] Any one tryed installing Sled on Gutsy ? [15:51] mc44: ok let me backup its settings or it will take me a week to get wow to work again .. lol [15:52] seamus7: permissions [15:52] genii: symlink a subdir rather than bind mount [15:52] wired, through a router to a cable modem. [15:52] when I upgrade to Gutsy through the UPGRADE button, will it automatically upgrade everything that I have now with the kernel and stuff and yet I get to keep all my current themes and settings? [15:52] Hi...any case the following is a bug? [15:52] hammer123: In the 'Software Sources' administrative control panel, there is an option 'Download From'... select other, and then there is a button called 'Select best Server' [15:52] jimmacdonald: are you using network manager or manual configuration? [15:52] Hourpastmidnight, Did you do update?? [15:52] bitraiser, theoretically [15:52] If in 64-bit Ubuntu you try: [15:52] sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture skype-debian_1.4.0.118-1_i386.deb [15:52] dystopianray: Ah, yeah for what he needs would be fine [15:52] Fant: yep :) probably some things are using the cedega libraries for gutsy and they won't have been updgraded because its from third party [15:52] fyrestrtr: yes but it's my home directory .. why would those errors come in .. sudo was tried as well and with the same error results [15:52] bitraiser, notice I dont say "yes" [15:52] and then it gets installed, it doesn't appear in the package list [15:52] so you can't remove it at all [15:52] genii: urm so would ln /media/sda1/test ~/test work? [15:52] Fant: for feisty I mean [15:52] Noiano: i am not sure where else i can find the md5sum because the cdimage.ubuntu.com seems to be down. however, torrents themselves have a way of checking the file integrity i believe. [15:52] (sudo apt-get remove skype fails) [15:52] attempting to use network manager but I have to configure manuall to make it work. [15:53] seamus7: where are you rsync'ing to? [15:53] mrj, ok, so I should try to back up my stuff first then I suppose and then attempt that UPGRADE thing huh? [15:53] ny00123: No, because you didn't install it with apt. do "sudo dpkg -r skype" [15:53] is anyone able to help me with my problem? about the caps-lock blinking freeze :P [15:53] ah [15:53] mc44: cant i just reinstall cedega and it will fix its libs ?> [15:53] bitraiser, that'd be logical [15:53] interestingly enough... email or browser doesn't work but I am talking to you just fine on the same machine [15:53] I've thought dpkg and apt share stuff [15:53] poe: your system freezes and caps lock blinks? [15:53] yep [15:53] jimmacdonald: disable network manager, set up the network for dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces, restart networking with /etc/init.d/networking restart and see if you get a dhcp address. [15:53] what is the command to upgrade to 7.10? [15:53] like, apt uses dpkg to install, and also to add to the package list [15:53] !upgrade | hammer123 [15:53] I guess I've been wrong [15:53] hammer123: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [15:53] Fant: depends how you are installing it I think [15:53] jimmacdonald: check your /etc/resolv.conf [15:53] how can i repair my ubuntu boot screen? [15:53] poe: sounds like kernel panic [15:54] So... built me my own mga driver from the 1.9.100 sources... someone wish me luck... BRB. [15:54] yeah, when you use apt is uses dpkg but not the other way around i think. [15:54] question: my PS/2 keyboard is recognized in the CD startup menu and I can use it there to navigate / change things, but I can not use it at all once ubuntu (7.10) is loaded. It's like no keyboard is connected: No key works. any idea? (keyboard worked when I installed 6.06 lts at it's time) [15:54] hammer123: cmon mate people been screaming the answer to u for a while now :P [15:54] mc44: its a deb package [15:54] erm, so how do i solve it? [15:54] I love the word "kernel panic" XD. Oh wait. [15:54] Thanks :D [15:54] Fant: yes I mean which repo its from or whatever. [15:54] i had it in feisty and in gutsy ... :( [15:54] ong no one atm knows.. please do not spam since its already very busy now :) [15:54] any alternative to rtorrent? that can be run in terminal? [15:54] don't be angry, i just got ubuntu less than a mth now... [15:54] fyrestrtr: gives the route to nameserver as the ip of my router. [15:54] Fant: do dpkg -S /usr/local/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 [15:54] fyrestrtr: to an usb external hard drive in fat32 [15:54] Now... a bit curious: Is avoiding libsmpeg dependency in a compiled SDL_mixer app possible, without re-compiling SDL_mixer? [15:54] hi, is this channel gutsy already? [15:55] murlidhar: gbittorent :) [15:55] MrKeuner: yes. === nikola is now known as enes_gv [15:55] !help [15:55] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [15:55] harm thnks [15:55] murlidhar: sure [15:55] seamus7: you don't have permissions to write to the disk. [15:55] harm: is it in the repos? [15:55] mrj, how about if i download the alternate CD, and use that to upgrade...is it pretty much the same as if i did it through the internet with the Update Manager (and its upgrade button) ? or is that something totally different really [15:55] murlidhar: not sure.. i just use utorrent anyway :D [15:55] abe [15:55] dobar [15:55] mc44: not found [15:56] MrKuener, yes it is === nemo_wor1 is now known as nemo_work [15:56] harm: ah ok anyways i don't like using wine [15:56] this might not be an ubuntu problem, but I was wondering if anyone has had mail-notification complain it can't contact evolution. occurs to me in feisty and gutsy [15:56] how do i turn off messages when people join and leave irc in pidgin? [15:56] Fant: try cd /usr/local/lib then do ls [15:56] how can i repair my ubuntu boot screen? [15:57] fyrestrtr: does it need to be reformatted as ext3 [15:57] murlidhar: utorrent is just the best client.. tried most other clients and utorrent just always manages to outperform [15:57] profanephobia: How did you break it? [15:57] seamus7: no, you just need to mount it with proper permissions so that the user you are rsyncing as can write to it. [15:57] how can i solve a kernel panic problem? [15:57] Hi i want to mount the My Document Folder into ~/Documents.. so in fstab how can i find out which device its on? /dev/sda1? [15:57] deluge just created 41 GB of files in my NTFS partition... but the free space still is the same as before [15:57] mc44: file is there [15:57] harm: i know i love that client but sadly for linux it is not available [15:57] how is that possible? [15:57] poe: what does it occur? [15:57] murlidhar: well with wine it is :) [15:57] I am trying to upgrade the virtualbox package but it is giving an error on me. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41201/ How can I fix that? [15:57] Vlet, i didnt gutsy didnt install it [15:58] Fant: ok do dpkg -S with any lib file in there, make sure you spell it right :) [15:58] flick: try unmounting and mounting again [15:58] the caps lock blinking freeze [15:58] harm: yeah but i don't like wine at all [15:58] flick: welcome to the wonderful world of ntfs compatibility [15:58] dystopianray, i went back to Windows, and it was same there [15:58] hi [15:58] fyrestrtr: it gets automounted upon plugin but you're saying the permissions on it need to be tweaked in order to backup to it with rsync [15:58] anyone has problems with cups? [15:58] Fant: using the full path [15:58] how do i turn off messages when people join and leave irc in pidgin? [15:58] mc44: fat fingers ftw ... was doing a - and not an _ [15:58] seamus7: yes. [15:58] dystopianray, fyrestrtr and the fact is i don't have 42GB of free space to begin with... i have only 16GB [15:58] which is the best backup script in the repos? [15:58] flick: it doesn't create the entire file... it expands it as it needs [15:59] Vlet, the size shows 42 GB [15:59] damn.. I booted my notebook (7.10 only) this morning and I got this @#*&!* error 17 from grub... common error? [15:59] Vlet, i hope there's nothing to worry? [15:59] fyrestrtr: thx... one more question ... silly ... can't remember how to check the file system of the volume to be sure it's fat32 and not ext3 [15:59] dystopianray: or if u mean when, in Gutsy: it happened once during booting, once when i was randomly browsing the web. In Feisty: it happened at random times frequently... [15:59] flick: does the file contain anything or is a blank file? [15:59] seamus7: mount will tell you [15:59] can i boot the 7.10 live cd from USB or something? [15:59] poe: hrrm weird, other releases are fine? [15:59] dystopianray, it is a blank file... so far has nothing - but size is full [15:59] Damn. Still no 1680x1050. :/ [15:59] I vote for a rename of the next release. Let me present - Horny Hippo! ;-) [16:00] K3nt0, from a USB cdrom? [16:00] how long will the upgrade take if lets say the server is not busy [16:00] Zambezi: it has already been named [16:00] dystopianray: haven't tried others ... only 7.10 and 7.04 ubuntu [16:00] fyrestrtr: and what permission need to be set in order for it to be backup-able [16:00] poe: does feisty work? === w4ett_ is now known as w4ett [16:00] hammer123: depending on your computer, 10 - 20 minutes [16:00] arpeggi: /ignore * joins or somesuch [16:00] seamus7: your user need w and x permissions [16:00] mrj, no from a usb hard drive or any other method that doesnt include burning a cd [16:00] hi, is it possible to install a ubuntu-desktop without openoffice, firefox, evolution, gimp etc. ? Just pure gnome. [16:00] where do i put that? [16:00] dystopianray: nope, both gutsy and feisty have this thing [16:00] mc44: you think this is worth trying to fix ... or should i just reinstall ? [16:00] Hello, I cannot get SSH to work for some reason. Whenever I try to ssh me@localhost I just get "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" [16:00] arpeggi: just type it in here [16:01] Fant: what did dpkg -S say? [16:01] K3nt0, you want to "boot the livecd" from a "usb harddrive or anything not including burning a CD"...... I'm missing your logic here [16:01] copyofjohan: yes, don't install ubuntu-desktop [16:01] How can I fix this error? dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic_6_i386.deb (--unpack): [16:01] subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 [16:01] copyofjohan: and install the individual packages. [16:01] K3nt0, you can't burn the livecd to a harddrive and boot it, no [16:01] arpeggi: /help ignore would help, I guess. [16:01] CapaH: you are trying to ssh to the same machine you are using? [16:01] ah unknown commands [16:01] awesome [16:01] cheers [16:01] hello [16:01] MrKeuner: delete that file and re-download it. [16:01] hi there [16:01] mc44: pastbin 41202 [16:01] i've upgraded a dell ubuntu inspiron 1420n from feisty to gutsy, but I've got serious issues getting the video card to work properly. I can't get it out of VESA. it's supposed to use the i810 driver, but the xorg.conf seems to be being ignored [16:01] fyrestrtr: is there a metapackage for pure-gnome? [16:01] damn, the repos are really really slow. [16:01] dystopianray: For debugging purposes yes --- I am actually trying to connect to it from another machine, but that is not working either [16:01] fyrestrtr: it says the file system is vfat ... is that a problem? [16:01] oh ignore isnt a command [16:01] fyrestrtr: delete which file? [16:01] mrj i dont have any blank discs and i was wondering of any alternative to using the livecd [16:01] I configured my lap top screen to turn off if I close the lid. The problem is that it turns on again if I accidentally move the mouse. Is there a way to fix this or cut off mouse input when the lid is closed? It would actually be ideal if the USB port where the mouse is connected would be disabled on closing the lid (so that the mouse is turned off completely) [16:01] MrKeuner, redownloading the file is nonsense, the error is with a script inside the package [16:02] CapaH: are you running an ssh server? [16:02] yes [16:02] dystopianray: Default ubuntu installation [16:02] By any chance does anyone knows how to install chinese fonts in wine? [16:02] K3nt0, there are alternatives that allow you to INSTALL it without a CD [16:02] CapaH: default ubuntu does not include an ssh server [16:02] ps ax | grep ssh = ssh-agent and sshd [16:02] bruenig: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41201/ [16:02] openoffice will not work correctly if your theme is 'crux' - to try it, set your theme to crux, open oo.org writer and try formating a page. it'll hang =) [16:02] !ccsm [16:02] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Gutsy(7.10) install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' - A new option will appear in your appearance properties - see also !compiz [16:02] dystopianray: Then why do I have a /etc/ssh/sshd_config --- and sshd running, and ssh-agent ? [16:03] CapaH: hrrm I am not sure, but ubuntu shouldn't have an ssh server enabled by default [16:03] well, it does :) [16:03] Is there a way to run the dist-upgrade using a local apt-mirror (where that mirror is only a gutsy mirror - no feisty packages)? [16:03] CapaH: try installing openssh-server [16:03] hi everybody [16:03] dystopianray: no, it doesn't [16:03] what about installing ubuntu on a usb hdd [16:03] MrKeuner, yes, ubuntu continues to do stuff like this even after the bug reports I and others have filed, it is trying to stop a daemon before removing it and that fails [16:03] i am not installing anything for the next few days. why won't people use torrents and get an alternate CD and upgrade from there? :'( [16:03] dystopianray: oh sorry, I thought you said it should :) [16:03] fyrestrtr: I worked it out: gnome-desktop-environment is the metapackage [16:03] dystopianray: openssh-server is already the newest version. openssh-server set to manual installed. [16:03] what is Ubotwo?? [16:04] thats what I get when I try apt-get install openssh-server [16:04] Fant: I'd remove cedega and see if it works [16:04] bruenig: I do depmod -q vboxdrv before running the upgrade but it does not help [16:04] jxxt: it's a 'bot' - a program to make answering common questions easier [16:04] strange question, but is anyone else experiencing connection issues? [16:04] Hello. I'm seeing some strange error where nvidia-new is not being modprobed, as it should. [16:04] i have heard that bittornado can be run in terminal . How can i run it? [16:04] i want to download only the third file down in this package, how do i do that [16:04] Is this commonly observed? [16:04] http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=snort&version=gutsy&arch=i386 [16:04] mc44: sure let me do that now [16:04] anything happened to the ubuntu servers? i can't get any updates to work.... [16:04] i'm trying to install Ubuntu on an old (K6-2) computer, but there's no way I can go past the CD boot menu implemented with ubuntu 6.06. I can install Breezy or Hoary, but any more recent distrib just makes my computer reboot whenever I choose any option... [16:04] !ubotwo | jxxt [16:04] Factoid ubotwo not found [16:04] !ubotu [16:05] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.

[16:05] MrKeuner, there is a prerm script on the disk somewhere in /var/apt, not sure where, you can find it, you can delete that or edit it so it you know stops doing that [16:05] oh :) [16:05] test [16:05] Yshusnir: i have a feisty on an amd k6-iii [16:05] missmyso: we hear ya [16:05] missmyso: welcome [16:05] dystopianray: so do u have any idea what i can do to prevent this kernel panic again? :( [16:05] thanks [16:05] <- runs gutsy for 2 weeks now and LOVES it but, whats up with the repos ? [16:05] Vlet, so Ubotu is the same? [16:05] WaltzingAlong : no problem installing ? [16:05] jxxt: I guess :) [16:05] i've been having some trouble with the repositories lately [16:05] hey guys...ive just installed 7.10 ..all ok..live cd..perfect...but when i try to start from hard disk...just dont start...even the ubuntu logo on start..nothing..just black...my xorg.conf is the same in live cd and in HD (just some diferences in keyboard layout) ...anybody has any idea? [16:05] poe: not really it sounds quite random and difficult to debug [16:05] rickjones: other people are trying to love it too :) [16:06] Yshusnir: i used the alternate cd (not the live) to install [16:06] rickjones: 8 bajillion people are hammering them [16:06] quick question: are there any plans to support PPC arch for the new release? A link to info works well. [16:06] I run gutsy from the RC on my notebook... today I booted it and I got a grub error: "Error 17". Anyone got a clue? [16:06] sudo apt-get install maxima gets stuck at 0% [16:06] where are the Apache2 logs stored by default? [16:06] Does Anyone here have experience with ATI X1300 videocard??? [16:06] Vlet, OK thx :-) [16:06] yes that is correct dystopianray [16:06] hiya [16:06] rflmnz: yes [16:06] WaltzingAlong : I used the alternate CD of Xubuntu 7.10, the alternate CD for 7.04, all the same [16:06] mc44: if i restart will gnome-panel be gone again ? [16:06] help me plis [16:06] Rispondo a: Rimbot; test; -kick; -op; -deop; -topic; -addtopic; -deltopic; -resumetopic; -user; [16:06] Ubotwo: part [16:06] WaltzingAlong: Heh, not many of those CPU around (k6-III) [16:06] bobbo: /var/log/apache2 [16:06] i've got no sound in ubuntu livecd but had it previously in feisty [16:06] WaltzingAlong : they use the same boot menu [16:06] netstat -anp | grep 22 = tcp6 0 0 :::22 ::::* LISTEN 12999/sshd [16:06] bruenig: that preremoval script must be for virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic I suppose? [16:06] Fant: depends whether that fixed it or not ;) [16:06] dystopianray: thanks :) [16:06] CapaH: try restarting sshd [16:06] I did [16:06] genii: no certainly not but actually it does really well with what i ask of it [16:06] no success [16:06] rflmnz: and I can tell you that if you're trying to get compiz working, you're better off finding something else to do :) [16:07] mc44: restarting then [16:07] since putting acpi=force in the menu.lst, my oldschool notebook finally manages to shutdown. but since that, the xfce battery panel fails to show the remaining time. remaining percentage works [16:07] MrKeuner, whatever it is you are trying to remove, I don't recall, you should know better than me [16:07] any ideas? [16:07] how to install crystal eye [16:07] i want to download only the third file down in this package, how do i do that [16:07] ? [16:07] http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=snort&version=gutsy&arch=i386 [16:07] bruenig: yes that [16:07] how can i edit the tags of m4a-files in gutsy? easytag doesn't even recognise the files when scanning my folders... [16:07] vlet: :( [16:07] dystopianray: What happens when I try to ssh to the machine is this: a few seconds pass, then it says: ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by host [16:07] dwxreaper, I am pretty sure you cannot [16:07] missmyso, ask your question [16:07] hi, any people who know stuff about kernels here? [16:07] how to install crystaleye in ubuntu 7.04? [16:07] vlet: What experience do u have? :D [16:07] i've upgraded a dell ubuntu inspiron 1420n from feisty to gutsy, but I've got serious issues getting the video card to work properly. I can't get it out of VESA. it's supposed to use the i810 driver, but the xorg.conf seems to be being ignored. i get bulletproofX every time, so I can't even debug it [16:07] flozza06: have you tried a different tagger like cowbell? [16:07] CapaH: i'm not sure what would cause that [16:07] i want to build some modules for my kernel, can i do this without having to rebuild the whole kernel? (my kernel is binary from whatever 7.04 installed) [16:07] dwxreaper, just download the entire package and then extract it if you want to [16:08] Capah: sudo apt-get install --reinstall openssh-server;sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [16:08] so ... any known issues when upgrading from feisty to gutsy, especially with easy ubuntu, envy ..nvidia drivers ? [16:08] rflmnz: I had one in my work computer until 2 days ago... an optiplex 745... the thing was okay, but I for the life of me could not get compiz working even though I've heard people say it could be done... [16:08] any updates happened since yesterday? [16:08] does anyone remember that "window" which is shown when gnome is launching (there is a similar one on kde) which shows components being loaded? does anyone know how to restore it as it doesn't show anymore to me...? [16:08] maccam94: with gutsy you should be using the 'intel' driver [16:08] does anybody know if there's a version of the 7.10 install CD that doesn't have this cd boot menu, but starts directly installing, like with 5.10 and olders ? [16:08] Yshusnir: alternate cds.. [16:08] Yshusnir: yes it is the alternate cd (not desktop) or the DVD [16:08] CapaH: You can add -f switch to force it [16:08] rflmnz: with all the time you'll spend trying to get it working, you're better off spending that time working a job, taking the money you earn, and buy a $120 NVidia card :) [16:08] bruenig: that worked thank you [16:08] genii: What do you mean? [16:08] bobbo, no, but i will now :-) [16:09] so ... any known issues when upgrading from feisty to gutsy, especially with easy ubuntu, envy ..nvidia drivers ? [16:09] mc44: lol back to black background [16:09] WaltzingAlong : they still have a boot menu, I tried :] [16:09] mc44: blank [16:09] dystopianray, it doesn't work with the intel driver either. the i810 driver is supposed to be more stable too, but i've been trying both and it seems like xorg.conf is just being ignored (or there's some problem forcing bulletproofX every time) [16:09] giany911 : gutsy doesn't like older ati cards. [16:09] rflmnz: It worked great in 2D though with two 1680x1050 monitors [16:09] gstreamer [16:09] Can someone help me. Im using gusty. But I still cant get mt ntfs drive to mount. Its very odd. [16:09] missmyso: what is crystal eye? [16:10] Yshusnir: what do you mean still have a boot menu? well you can pass some parameters to the kernel if you need such as setting resolution and turning off acpi [16:10] gstreamer [16:10] rickjones anything else? got an nvidia so i'm off the hook [16:10] Bah not -f ... --force-yes [16:10] TabooTreez: Install ntfs-config [16:10] it's the very first menu, when you choose to "install in text mode", "install for server", and stuffs. my computer reboots when i choose any option [16:10] !gstreamer [16:10] i'm noticed the i386 runs GREAT with kde, all in all i haven't any complaints [16:10] SANone: im on gusty so its installed by default. Just doesnt want to mount. [16:10] CapaH: the --reinstall part will overwrite whatever manual entries were misconfigured in it's conf files with stock ones [16:11] Gutsy broke Xorg; now it scrolls madly [16:11] I did that ---- same problem [16:11] How do i copy paste in terminal without using the mouse [16:11] still doesn't work [16:11] ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host. [16:11] how to install crystal eye for feisty? [16:11] astro73 : do you have RAID controllers ? if so, and no raid devices, turn them off in bios, i had same trouble. now works perfectly [16:11] XsteelWolf: i suspect you do need the mouse - unless you're using some editor with built-in copy and paste support, in which case consult its manual [16:12] no raid [16:12] Fant: pastebin /etc/ld.so.conf [16:12] gfghfgh [16:12] if you google the error message, it will tell you the cause and fix for it [16:12] missmyso: what is it? [16:12] someone should write a pastebin app that grabs the data from the file, ups it to paste bin and resturns the link [16:12] Im on gusty and I cant mount my NTFS drive. Please help! [16:12] I tried something else : installing Breezy and updating from the CD of Xubuntu 7.10... But it doesn't work, and I don't know where i might be wrong :/ [16:12] <_6StringKng_> ntfs-3g [16:13] bobbo: i did do that [16:13] CapaH: When you manually installed openssh-server previously. Remeber where you put the deb file. then go there and do: sudo dpkg -r --purge [16:13] TabooTreez: RU sure the last time you loaded windows the shutdown was done okay (so no need for a checkdisk dialog or something?) [16:13] astro73: got a link to some source? [16:13] TabooTreez: it should mount automatically. mine did. [16:13] Great i didn't know that ctorrent was in repos!!!!!! [16:13] SANone: ya that was the first thing I tryed [16:13] <_Carlo_> hi after the update to gutsy my screen flickers if i use ati or radeon driver but not if i use vesa [16:13] its funny it says my nfts drive is a resierfs filesystem [16:13] mc44: its just this :: include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf [16:13] missmyso: what is "crystal eye" [16:13] i am having a problem with my sound and gutsy. I have a Toshiba Satellite a105-s4334 [16:13] bobbo: astro73.com/viewvc (under utils) would be the best place to look [16:13] here's the situation, some program creates 42 GB of files in an NTFS volume (according to Ubuntu and Windows), but my free space remains the same [16:13] otherwise, IDK if it's online ATM [16:13] the sound works but it is very very low. [16:14] how is that possible?? [16:14] use at own risk [16:14] I came from opensuse and the sound worked fine on that distro. [16:14] TabooTreez: kinda weird indeed.. I have no clue mate.. perhaps make a forum thread? [16:14] Fant: whats in that directory [16:14] it's too crowded in here to get a normal conversation with anyone [16:14] Fant: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ [16:14] SANone: Thanks for your trying regardless [16:14] can anyone help me getting my sound set up? [16:14] Could someone explain me how I can upgrade from Breezy (5.10) to Gutsy with the Gutsy CD (I can't use internet) [16:14] any known issues installing ubuntu with dual video cards installed? [16:15] mc44: libc.conf and i486-linux-gnu [16:15] astro73: not there, but thanks anyway [16:15] i am having a problem with my sound and gutsy. I have a Toshiba Satellite a105-s4334. the sound works but it is very very low. There was no problem with the sound when I was using Opensuse. Has anyone else hfixed this problem? [16:15] Fant: hmm, same as here L/ [16:15] Yshusnir: There is no way to upgrade directly from 5.10 to 7.10 [16:15] hi all. I have 7.04 version of ubuntu.

[16:16] hello all [16:16] mc44: if i reinstall can i do it without loosing all my stuff ? [16:16] bobbo: astro73.com/bucket/pastebin [16:16] and once again the Ubuntu mirrors are slow [16:17] Fant, if you back it up, sure [16:17] again, use at own risk [16:17] Fant: back it up somewhere [16:17] Ubersoldat: I thought I already have. What's weird is that it detects two sound cards.... A realtek and an AC97 [16:17] Fant: not unless you have a sepearte home partition [16:17] i'm having terrible trouble getting ubuntu installed on my system [16:17] and think it might be to do with hw support [16:17] MickoD, whats up [16:17] !fixapt [16:17] where's the best place to check my hardware for compatibility [16:17] mc44: ok ... can you give me that command that gives my gnome-panel back [16:17] SANone: I just added it to my fstab and added the "force" option.

(the one with the dragon) :D [16:18] Fant: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib [16:18] Yshusnir: You will need alternate CDs not regular.

[16:18] 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0) [16:18] MickoD, is it recognized by bios? which cd are you using, regular or alternative [16:18] i've tried to resize my existing ntfs partition with the follow: qtparted gparted paragon (doze) and no luck [16:18] Greyhound-: im thinking images.google.com :) [16:18] lol [16:18] done that already [16:18] tsukasa: yeah [16:19] ok .. thanks a lot [16:19] tsukasa: windows xp is the ntfs partition and has been operational for a couple of months now [16:19] off to back and reinstall ...

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [16:20] MickoD, what settings are you using in the installer [16:20] bobbo: also it is on the /topic [16:20] manual or automatic [16:20] i've upgraded a dell ubuntu inspiron 1420n from feisty to gutsy, but I've got serious issues getting the video card to work properly. I can't get it out of VESA. it's supposed to use the i810 driver, but the xorg.conf seems to be being ignored. i get bulletproofX every time, so I can't even debug it [16:20] genii : thx :) I'll try "apt-cdrom dist-upgrade" with alternate CDs... === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [16:20] it auto specifies manual as it can't see the partition table if you get me [16:20] I tried Arch a year or so ago, TabooTreez and didn't find it that compelling. Have they continued to improve it? [16:21] hey [16:21] MickoD, do a sudo fdisk on the sata drive and print the partition table [16:21] MickoD, see if fdisk can see it [16:21] Hi! Can someone tell me how i unmount a external USB harddrive i have mounter in Ubuntu 7.10? [16:21] Sp0tUb, umount /path/to/mount [16:22] Sp0tUb, right click [16:22] i can do this within the livecd yes? [16:22] MickoD, yeah just launch the terminal [16:22] Sp0tUb, or in nautilus, go to computer, then right click the disk and "unmount" or "eject" [16:22] cool cool [16:22] Do you guys support beryl here as well? [16:22] i'll give that a go and report back in about 1 hour :) [16:22] Ubersoldat: I had to setup ssh to my laptop, bear with me [16:22] i installed crossover office....why doesn't it show up in my applications....???.... [16:22] Is there a simpler way to upgrade 7.04->7.10 from an ISO than mounting it or burning it? [16:22] the command is sudo fdisk -l isn't it?

[16:24] Yshusnir: np [16:24] abhibera, no, you need build-essential, it installs all the compilers and stuff that you should need, including gcc [16:24] Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com feisty/main libgsm1 1.0.10-13 506 Failure To Connect To Web Server, is there something i can do to fix that, or is it probably related to server overload due to 7.10's release? [16:25] MasterShrek: u sure? [16:25] anyone having issues when they copy something, it pastes garbage characters and not what you originally copied? [16:25] ok [16:25] zamarax: I had no problems, but downloads finished at ~3AM EDT [16:25] abhibera, ive been using ubuntu for years, yes im sure [16:25] oshiii-_^: change your mirror by using the 'software sources' control panel [16:25] * abhibera is new [16:25] Vlet : thanks [16:25] tsukasa: ah ok, stupidly i'm not at the box now :( it will take me roughly 15 to get to it [16:25] Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/multiverse/source/Sources.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2) is what I get [16:25] what mirrors there is?? im using ubuntu 5.10 [16:25] * abhibera will listen to MasterShrek [16:25] i'll sign back in anyway and see if you're here [16:25] thanks anyway [16:25] hi everybody [16:25] MickoD, okay i might be around /shrug [16:25] if it is btw, what can i be doing? [16:26] danielbw: so it's an Intel board [16:26] i've upgraded a dell ubuntu inspiron 1420n from feisty to gutsy, but I've got serious issues getting the video card to work properly. I can't get it out of VESA. it's supposed to use the i810 driver, but the xorg.conf seems to be being ignored. i get bulletproofX every time, so I can't even debug it [16:26] MasterShrek, I moved the directory out of my home directory and it still won't start [16:26] maccam94, try deleting xorg.conf or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [16:26] Ubersoldat: correct. [16:26] Im doing the 7.10 upgrade and have managed to get 1047 of 1059 updates but the rest fail with 302 Moved. Ive tried diff repo but all seem to fail - any ideas anyone pls. [16:26] d2dchat, what were you trying to start? sry i forgot [16:26] MasterShrek, it regenerated the .gnome2 directory though [16:26] a new one [16:26] shortnick: 5.10 is no longer supported [16:26] Ubersoldat: Core 2 duo [16:26] can someone help me?.. i have some troubles with compiz in Gutsy... [16:26] pike_ Its called sdb1, then i type sudo unmount /media/sdbi ? [16:26] MickoD, if fdisk cant see the partition table, your problem is probably a messed up partition table or something along those lines [16:26] oh, by the way, anyone knows how to make a sitecom WL-172 wi-fi usb work, and configure wireless network on breezy ? [16:26] danielbw: try running alsamixer from the console [16:26] Ubersoldat: Toshiba Satellite A105-S4334 [16:26] zamarax, i would just wait a little bit, i believe the servers are getting their arses kicked [16:26] 1* [16:26] yea, that's kinda what I thought [16:26] Ubersoldat: I have and it's unlike any other alsamixer settings i have ever seen [16:26] MasterShrek, Gnome 2.2.. failsafe works but normal only gets through half way before kicking me back to login prompt [16:27] master is a switch instead of a sliding scale [16:27] genii then how can i upgrade ??? do i need to install ubuntu all over again ?? i was hoping to use apt-get install -y distro [16:27] what is weird is its always the exact same sources [16:27] pike_ Its called sdb1, then i type sudo unmount /media/sdb1 [16:27] * Bsims pouts I waited an entire day I want it now [16:27] ubersoldat master is a switch instead of a sliding scale [16:27] MasterShrek, do u think it could be an incompatible start up process? [16:27] MickoD, if it can see it, then you might want to try reformatting the partition your going to use for linux (eg sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/xxx1) [16:27] d2dchat, try creating a new user and see if they can log in, im pretty sure its some config files somewhere in your users directory [16:27] danielbw: switch? weird [16:27] ??? [16:27] hello [16:27] TheRepacker, been there, done that [16:27] MickoD, assuming 1 is the right partition number, fdisk will tell you [16:27] MasterShrek, kk, brb [16:27] gutsy>automatix--i installed crossover office....why doesn't it show up in my applications....???.... [16:27] danielbw: but you do have sound then [16:27] anyone has the torrent for xubuntu gutsy [16:27] Ubersoldat: maybe not a switch but I can only mute and unmute it. [16:27] shortnick: For upgrade instructions from 5.10->6.06->6.10->7.04->7.10 see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [16:27] TheRepacker, it's like xorg.conf is being ignored and it just goes straight to a failsafe [16:27] !automatix | russ [16:27] zamarax: I have a suspicion that your problem is also that you need to change your mirror in the 'software sources' control panel [16:27] russ: Automatix2 is a block of code which attempts to install some software. When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it. A creditable analysis from a debian/ubuntu developer is here - http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (Additional information: /msg ubotu worksforme) [16:27] Ubersoldat: I do have sound but it is very faint [16:28] xander21c: if ubuntu.com is slow get them at www.autofillband.co.uk [16:28] MickoD, also after you run mkfs.ext3 to format the partition reboot into the livecd again, the installer has some issues sometimes [16:28] ubersoldat i have heard this thing crank out a lot more noise using opensuse.

[19:41] Seveas, u got a gutsy repo going yet? [19:41] rryan: Both 19", 1280 X 1024 [19:41] ganesh : AFAIK with ATI you need direct rendering enabled to use effects [19:41] anyone know why when i am in 1024x760 resolution my monitor is not centered.. but in windows the monitor is centered in the H value [19:41] Anyone know how to play DVD (physical) straight from VLC player and make that as default to be opened when you insert a DVD in your drive?

[19:43] UGH --- I am tar gzipping a very large directory with many sub directories, and I am saving it as fullbackup.tgz --- now, it turns out that my tar/gz is trying now to INCLUDE "fullbackup.tgz" into the tarball....... Am I forced to restart the whole thing? [19:43] Sitting_Duck : I wasn't able to do it with nvidia-settings, but I bet there's a way [19:43] povaddict.. the cd requires a reinstall.. so i decided to wait ouit the distro download and use the ubuntu upgrade feature [19:43] arpeggi, check if you have gstreamer packages installed [19:43] how do i do that? i just don't have any sound with any program [19:43] Sitting_Duck : as far as I can tell, it splits them into two screens when it 'feels' like they should be two screens, two 19" at 1280x1024 should be 2 separate ones, so if you have your metamode line set like that I think it makes the decision to [19:44] #red-latina [19:44] im in livecd btw [19:44] ubotu tell arpeggi about sound | arpeggi see priv msg from ubotu [19:44] emeralds-themes is installed by default with compiz-fusion in gutsy ?

[19:45] kto jest z polski [19:45] Sitting_Duck : yea thats' the one, I think if you change it to just "1280x1024, 1280x1024" it should do it, [19:45] gerro: servers loaded becouse of the recent release [19:45] if anyone is having the blank screen x server error when trying to boot gutsy, I finally figured out a workaround that worked for me... [19:45] Dr_willis: install it... but it fails to do so in both X and console [19:46] Can anyone help me so I can extend my desktop to my TV? It's connected through S-video and works out of the box as a clone! [19:46] Sitting_Duck : I think those relative numbers +1280+0 and +0+0 are the things that throw it off [19:46] rryan: Great.

[19:51] ok I got gutsy running, is it a good idea to go with the "proprietary Drivers" for my ATI 9600 Pro ? [19:51] lavender_dream: yes it should have everything you need [19:51] Mr: yeah [19:51] or are there alternatives? [19:51] lol, he's probably a microsoft shill. [19:52] Erik7000: I've had issues in the past... if you can, try connecting using a vga cable [19:52] Mr: Not if you want visual effects (compiz) [19:52] ok [19:52] hrm I bet this requires csh or zsh or something [19:52] Maarten: it has to be a console? A terminal window won't work? [19:52] yeah that is what I want [19:52] Mr: Then don't install that [19:52] Mr: those would give you direct rendering [19:52] cousin_luigi: that's a shame...

[19:52] Amaranth so what do I want to do ? [19:52] please, is there the vmplayer-package for 7.10? [19:52] Mr: the driver you got by default gives you 3d acceleration and compiz, the restricted driver gives you faster 3d acceleration but no compiz [19:52] ganesh : can you post your xorg.conf to a pastebin ? [19:52] Puaff: no [19:52] rryan:i heard that using XGL is not safe.. [19:52] Vlet it's 8800, there's no VGA.. When running safe graphics it doesn't say "no signal" just black [19:52] well, now I have "normal" visual effects [19:52] http://pastebin.ca/742675 [19:52] yrlnry_: terminal window will work just fine :) [19:52] Dbcoops1231, a low speed device may not need to be usb2 [19:53] I see shadow and some animations, but what I'd really like is antialiased corners [19:53] Dbcoops1231, a lot of input devices are that way [19:53] Dbcoops1231, Well, that's usually because the device speaks only USB1.1. [19:53] dr_willis: it's self powered, and for latency issues, wouldn't it need to be? [19:53] yrlnry_: as a matter of fact, I upgraded mine through ssh :P [19:53] is there any theme like "human" but with antialiased rounded corners? [19:53] Amaranth, do you know then it will be available? [19:53] PovAddict: That's a metacity thing (we reuse metacity's theme engine) [19:53] Amaranth so if I install the drivers I wouldn't have the visual effects but I would have faster graphics and if I dont install it its slower but I have the effects? [19:53] Hi, i have problem with Ubuntu 7.10 and auth LDAP [19:53] Amaranth: I am most likely going to be helping a friend out with a fresh install and an ATI, you would recommend the proprietary drivers? Are things easier under gutsy? I am still on feisty over here and I want to make sure there isn't anything else I might want to know. . . [19:53] Anyone know the #1 support/documentation/knowledgebase material for Ubuntu? I'd like to learn honestly... with these sorts of problems I'm having [19:53] Erik7000: I dunoh... when I had the problem, I just switched to VGA... you have an nvidia 8800 in a server? === Merlin_31 is now known as alcassi [19:53] hi out there, after upgrading from feisty i have lost my dri accel for my intel 945 card :( [19:53] Puaff: Where did you get it? If you got it from canonical's commercial repo it might be available in a month or so [19:53] Where would be the correct channel to ask about printer support? === alcassi is now known as Alcassi [19:54] I have working Auth LDAP fine but when update to 7.10 this crash [19:54] Erik7000 just temporary, I hadn't any other here right now [19:54] Maarten: sudo: so_release_upgrade: command not found [19:54] <|neon|> dotjay: did you run the runme.pl as sudo i.e. sudo ./runme.pl you first have to run the vmware-install.pl that came with your installation of vmware then run the runme.pl it has to do something with vmnet module not compiling [19:54] Maarten: and "locate" does not find anything like that either. [19:54] PurpZeY: I would not ever recommend fglrx unless you need it to get 3d acceleration. If the open source driver gives you 3d acceleration use it [19:54] swirv: Here, unless something changed. [19:54] rryan: Huge step forward! It's now definitely two screens. Only issue is, they're positioned incorrectly. The one continues on the far side of the other.

[19:54] rryan:http://pastebin.org/5343 [19:54] WHy does gparted take forever to scan devices? by forever, i mean it's been scanning for several minutes and nothing [19:54] how do I get stereo sound to work in 7.10 I have a nforce board and all i'm getting is mono (right speaker only works) [19:54] Aha, thanks. [19:54] is there anyway to test my wificard to see if its installed correctly [19:54] Amaranth, yes, I would like to use the distro package (if possible) I will have to wait [19:55] whoa, I can change font rendering without restarting apps [19:55] grrr this stupid key configuration thing is driving me NUTS [19:55] Amaranth: So, avoid restricted if possible...But if I can't get direct rendering, then go the other route? [19:55] Amaranth so if I install the drivers I wouldn't have the visual effects but I would have faster graphics and if I dont install it its slower but I have the effects? [19:55] Sitting_Duck : Ah, ok good. You can specify that with another command : On the line before metamodes [19:55] KDE didn't let me do that last time I tried (long ago) [19:55] lwizard, laptop or desktop [19:55] Amaranth, thx a lot for your help [19:55] Fade2Black: lspci should list it, if it is [19:55] desktop [19:55] Sitting_Duck: Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf" [19:55] kahrytan: it should not...it should take a couple seconds [19:55] hey Amaranth [19:55] Sitting_Duck : If LeftOf is wrong, try RightOf [19:55] lwizardl: run alsamixer and see if the left side is muted (left 0 is not lit up) [19:55] Jimdb, I know but it's taking forever [19:55] rryan: Will do! Thanks.

[20:04] erm... trying to install dvd codec for totem, I get "Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source" [20:04] rryan: Total success! "LeftOf" did the trick. You, sir, are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks again! [20:04] ganesh err does it say direct rendering yes [20:04] After enabling the nVidia drivers in the restricted drivers manager (I have an nVidia GeForce 6600) and reconfiguring xorg.conf, I'm still stuck in 800x600.

[20:04] hey guys, i have a ntfs partition and a linux partition on one hard drive. how can i resize the ntfs partition? i dont get the resize option in the installer [20:04] Alien18: it is auto and can be seen as soon as you enable the restricted uinverse and multiverse [20:04] kd7swh: yeah, same for me... hmm [20:04] i made a mistake and the linux partition is only 4 gb [20:05] PurpZeY, ok, i try. [20:05] fjleon : there's a tool named ntfsresize [20:05] I've changed fonts hinting but didn't help much [20:05] fjleon - resizing doesn't work in ntfs - you should backup the drive and reformat [20:05] fjleon: use partition magic in windows, or gparted in Ubuntu disk [20:05] fjleon : you can get it from the 'ntfsprogs' package [20:05] rryan: can i run it from the live cd? is it safe? [20:05] i installed the xorg-driver-fglrx from teh ubuntu repos again and enabled it in the restriced drivers but if i run fglrxinfo it still says mesa [20:05] i downloaded gutsy and the md5 is right in the iso but ive burned it twice and i keep getting (the same) wrnog md5 on the burned discs. the first one i burned at 40x and the second at 8x [20:05] gparted works great. [20:05] rryan:direct rendering NO.... [20:05] fjleon, thers a 'gparted live cd' thats a MUST have for your Pc toolbox. :) [20:05] meta-paonia: tell that to the ubuntu installer, it resized my ntfs partition just fine, but i messed up on the size of it [20:05] fjleon: if using vista, vista can resize it too === kucka is now known as bobe_gv [20:06] fjleon : you shoudl be able to. On the safety issue, I wouldn't do an ntfs resize on a partition I would die if I lost.. the software could have a problem with your specific setup, but I have done it and ti worked off a livecd [20:06] rryan: direct rendering NO === bobe_gv is now known as bobi_gv === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [20:06] anyone have any ideas on a color shell in screen?

[20:34] i fixed it now by googleing , i just want to ask i did this step https://www.opendns.com/start/ubuntu.php does this meanthe dns will be locked forever and working ?? [20:34] no [20:34] Evanlec, cant find that stuff in zoom [20:34] Dan2552: it clocks down or up your graphics card, allowing you to get up to another 2hr of battery [20:34] Firefox doesn't use msttcorefonts. How can I make it use them? [20:34] Ag0ny, if it works for root it should work.. can you get widescreen resolutions to work? [20:34] hey guys, I just bought a new graphics card but it's a different brand then what I originally had, how do I uninstall the ATI driverS? [20:34] jdong: yep..and if ubuntu complained about "low capacity" when it was new it was probably next to dead then too? [20:35] nice. Windows got 2 hours max for me [20:35] Ind[y]: try the Mozilla firefox and not the ubuntu version [20:35] Dan2552: "aticonfig --lsp" gets all available states, use "aticonfig --set-powerstate 1" to set powestatate to lowest [20:35] Ind[y], Edit ==> Preferences ==> Content [20:35] today someone gave me a link for getting java to work on amd64 but it didnt help, anyone got another sollution ? and also the next java release would be 64 "capable" ( sorry didnt find the correct word :p ) when is that going to be released ? [20:35] ny00123: then what? [20:35] Unknown^ : Actually :) if you run make install and it installs it somewhere outside of your home directory (which it usually does) it will need permissions, so you should type 'sudo make install' to let it install itself on your system [20:35] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41225/ [20:35] kristerfer: yes works fine as root 1280x800 [20:35] Ind[y], look at the list box of the font [20:35] Unknown^ : when they say 'make install' they assume you are going to run it as root, sudo makes it run as root [20:35] cool, I'm gonna try it [20:35] askand: Ubuntu goes by the information that the battery reports, and in your case you have less than 20% original capcity... [20:35] you may also try "Advanced" [20:35] for more font settings [20:35] my sound system is stuck. I stopped the alsa-utils and timidity and started only the first one again after a few seconds, while no media player was running, and it didn't help. the sound just stopped while playing a wav-file [20:36] askand: sometimes new batteries do not properly report capacities until you drain and recharge them 2 or 3 times [20:36] beerfan: I use the "firefox" package. Should I use the "mozilla-firefox" instead? [20:36] SSH problem - can somebody help me? [20:36] Ind[y]: same thing :) [20:36] kristofer: but i won't run my X as root for daily work [20:36] but still, is there anti aliasing settings for desktop effects? [20:36] Hello. I need some help please. [20:36] ny00123: This is not the problem. [20:36] Ind[y] I think that one of the packages redirects to the other [20:36] !as MiguelAngel [20:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about as miguelangel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:36] jdong: ok..but anyway..time to buy a new one now right? :) [20:36] domagoj: ask and we'll see [20:36] !ask | MiguelAngel [20:36] askand: it is indeed :) [20:36] MiguelAngel: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [20:36] anyone use gutsy that knows how to install compiz if i uninstalled it [20:36] Ag0ny, right me either.. but it's worth a shot [20:36] askand: how long have you had your current battery? [20:36] jdong: thank you for your time [20:36] when trying to start timidity again (as a daemon), I get "ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave". it seems like alsa is trashed somehow. this is NOT the first time I experience this. a restart fixed it everytime it happened, but I guess there's a way without a long and disgusting reboot [20:36] domagoj: If it's really complex you could ask on #openssh too [20:36] Ind[y]: I don't know, it was just a thought. If the webpage specifies a font and you have it firefox should use it. If you want it to use a specific font for generic font families though (like "serif") you need to configure that [20:37] I need to use PHP copy function but it says its denied - I heard that you need SSH for that (i am beginner with linux) [20:37] jdong: Error: Unable to obtain POWERplay information. [20:37] jdong: 5 months..or something [20:37] that is Ind[y], Edit ==> Preferences ==> Content [20:37] jdong: It must have been bad from the beginning..or I really need to learn how to take care of batterys [20:37] Dan2552: running an Xgl server? [20:37] numus: sudo apt-get install compiz perhaps? [20:37] beerfan: I want it to be exactly like it was in Feisty. [20:37] (to change font; "Advanced" has more settings) [20:37] I am trying to update to ubuntu 7.10 from 7.04 and have an error. [20:37] rryan : to get into root i type sudo apt-get install build-essential libc6-dev that line has a sudo in it so it should be fine. [20:37] askand: hmm, 5mo is a very very abnormal lifetime for a modern laptop battery [20:37] numus and Vlet, better try out compizfusion [20:37] Ind[y]: no idea what that means [20:37] should be enabled by default if installed the stable release of Gutsy [20:37] anyone ? [20:38] Unknown^ : But then, after that line is done you aren't root anymore :) You can tell because your prompt still has $ instead of # [20:38] or at least installed by default [20:38] askand: make sure you don't run it down to empty too much, or expose it to heat, or leave the battery at full capacity for more than 2 days at a time. [20:38] jdong: i don't know if i'm using an XGL server, I'm a bit of a linux newbie to be rather honest - i'm using the default desktop effects which i got working using the ATI tutorial [20:38] I just got of the phone with RICOH and they say no drivers for their Gelsprinter for Linux for six months!! [20:38] ny00123: I don't think that's actually a current package name [20:38] jdong, or even use the thing? :) gesh... [20:38] Unknown^ : if you want to execute a series of actions as root, you can type sudo -i to enter interactive mode, you should see a '#' at your prompt which means you are root [20:38] oh ok [20:38] I tried totem, vlc and flash, they are all unable to play sounds. as I said, the sound stopped while playing a wav-file in totem, I haven't done anything special. this has already happened, and a reboot fixed it. restarting alsa-utils doesn't help, stopping it and timidity and starting only alsa-utils does also not work; timidity prompts the following message when I try to start it again while the alsa-utils are running again: "ALSA lib p [20:38] cm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave" [20:38] jdong: Leave it at full capacity means "charging" for two days? [20:38] rryan, please don't suggest that in this channel [20:38] Can someone help me? [20:38] Dr_willis: not using it leads to battery death. using it too much leads to battery death. there's no winning this race :D [20:38] !sudo | Unknown^ [20:38] Unknown^: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [20:38] MiguelAngel, ask your question [20:38] askand: right; that's usually bad practice for li-ions [20:38] rryan: so i should type sudo make install [20:38] i think im going to give up on ubuntu :( [20:39] Hi! Can someone give me a hand with wine? I'm trying to install photoshop. I did it correctly but when it loads I receive an error [20:39] !ask | MiguelAngel [20:39] MiguelAngel: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [20:39] Dan2552: do DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig ...... [20:39] Yarconox: totem also gives me buggy audio playback. I use VLC and everything plays fine. [20:39] jdong: Ok..and try to not fully discharge it? Hope my next better will live longer :) [20:39] Unknown^ : Yes that will work [20:39] jdong, and its amazing how GOOD my cell phone battery is.. or my car battery.. it lasted me 7 yrs. [20:39] Vlet yeah I see..in contrary to "mozilla-thunderbird" which does exist as a (temporary) package name [20:39] When upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 [20:39] Dan2552: you would be running Xgl, which "hides" the ATI driver interfaces :) [20:39] can i get some help please? [20:39] ok rryan [20:39] beerfan: In Feisty there was no such problem. [20:39] swirf: I tried totem, vlc and flash, they are all unable to play sounds [20:39] thanks rryan [20:39] PriceChild : Fine. But I don't subscribe to treating users like idiots. [20:39] I have an error with dpkg [20:39] Gigi: what error? [20:39] Unknown^: You're welcome [20:39] rryan, ubuntu uses sudo, not root. [20:39] askand: right, avoid draining it to flat if possible.... preferably stop at 30% [20:39] how do i make ubuntu NOT try and autoconfigure my graphics card and monitor at every boot ? [20:39] How do I make a ext53 partition mountable by users instead of root? [20:39] my soundcard worked in feisty but now no sound in gutsy [20:39] anyone has problems with his wireless keyboard at ubuntu login, and fixed it? [20:39] ubuntuchick: what is your boggle? we'd like to help. [20:39] LOL rryan [20:39] it still download rryan [20:39] rryan, we do that for a reason. "/msg ubotu sudo" if you want to know the reasons. [20:39] ^ [20:39] anybody has an idea?? [20:39] jdong: ok thanks for the tips! [20:39] PriceChild : sudo -i is interactive mode [20:40] Dr_willis: well, car batteries are of different chemistry, and cellphones tend to be low-usage devices [20:40] rryan my internet speed is about 9 kb / sec [20:40] askand: sure thing [20:40] should I repeat my question? [20:40] Ind[y]: I haven't seen any font issues in gutsy firefox and I've been using it for some time [20:40] rryan, it gives a root terminal... something we don't advise. its basically su. [20:40] PriceChild : It's not like I'm suggesting typing sudo bash, or adding sudo bash to your .bashrc [20:40] Ind[y]: it's unclear what your issue is [20:40] Can't configure some packages [20:40] ubuntuchick : what soundcard do you have? [20:40] Dr_willis: if you drain a car battery to the point that you need to jump-start the car, it's basically a brick. [20:40] jdong: display=:0 aticonfig --lsp ////// Error: Unable to obtain POWERplay information. [20:40] How do I make a ext53 partition mountable by users instead of root? [20:40] PriceChild : ok, I won't suggest it [20:40] its a card that came with my dell laptop a vostro [20:40] ^ext3 [20:40] rryan, much appreciated :) [20:40] Dan2552: DISPLAY in ALL CAPS :) [20:40] Has anyone gotten the GeForce 2 MX/MX 400 working in Gutsy? [20:41] Vlet, the error says, "Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable [20:41] does anyone know what the default out of the box wifi apps is coz i kinda need to revert back to default [20:41] jdong: ah silly thing, i liked windows being non-case sensitive... [20:41] Yarcanox: it helps to repeat (within reason), but if you get no answers, it's likely because either no one knows or because you're not asking a specific enough question. [20:41] Dan2552: lol :D [20:41] kahrytan, mountable? or read/writeable? theres the 'user and users' option. for the first. [20:41] with hardware accelleration of course [20:41] Dr_willis, both. [20:41] can I make my / -partition larger whitout problems? [20:41] beerfan: Anyway. How can I switch to firefox of mozilla, and not of Ubuntu? [20:41] Vlet the error says, "Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable [20:41] Vlet nobody tells me what information is missing, so I can't help [20:41] if just anybody asked for details [20:41] dpkg: error al procesar language-pack-gnome-en (--configure): [20:41] Ind[y]: download the linux build of firefox from mozilla.com and extract to /opt/firefox [20:41] kahrytan, as for writeing you need to chown the directories ON the hard drive. as far as i know. Not sure of a way to override the filesystem permissions [20:41] Gigi: Is the error comoing from photoshop, or from wine? [20:41] jdong: it has three options, thanks [20:42] i think its my also [20:42] rryan dont u want it to be in the home directory?

[20:42] beerfan: This was not necessary in Feisty. [20:42] ubuntuchick: hmm.. dell usualy has very good support for linux. especialy Ubuntu. Lemme do some looking around.... [20:42] deformation better turn it off and check your hardware [20:42] Deformation: what type of laptop do you have? [20:42] deformation: shut it down and let it cool off [20:42] how can i know my ubuntu version? [20:42] Ind[y]: it probably isn't necessary now [20:42] rryan yah cool thankz [20:42] I have an error like yours polapo [20:42] kahrytan, for a extra storage drive. i normally format it ext3, then make a dir for the user. and chown that dir to be owned by that specific user. [20:42] Unknown^ : Generally when you are compiling applications from source, you want them to install themselves into a standard POSIX location for storing applications. Most apps will want to install themselves into /usr/local/bin when you type 'make install' [20:42] Dan2552: you'll find the lowest one gives you a tremendous batterylife boost [20:42] acer travel mate [20:42] guess ill just ask again :d : today someone gave me a link for getting java to work on amd64 but it didnt help, anyone got another sollution ? and also the next java release would be 64 "capable" ( sorry didnt find the correct word :p ) when is that going to be released ? [20:42] beerfan: The problem is simple. Firefox acts, as I have not installed msttcorefonts. [20:42] Dan2552: the middle one is virtually identical to the highest one [20:42] Vlet if I boot photoshop from the windows drive, it boots correctly, but I can do almost nothing. So I tried to emule it but seems to not be working... it;s Photoshop CS2 [20:43] My sound stopped. I tried totem, vlc and flash, they are all unable to play sounds. as I said, the sound stopped while playing a wav-file in totem, I haven't done anything special. this has already happened, and a reboot fixed it.

You can browse the 'network neighborhood' shares easially enough [20:43] i really dont know [20:43] and got really hot [20:43] like in feisty [20:43] i just upgraded from feisty [20:43] Ind[y]: what url? [20:43] jdong: i'll give it a try. Also ubuntu works out time remaining on my battery - and my battery doesnt even have a hardware counter :) amazing [20:43] rryan : so like i could type [20:43] and it started with gutsy [20:43] How do i format a disk on linux?> [20:43] beerfan: every [20:43] Xargo, read up on 'samba' for more in depth ussage. [20:43] how can i know my ubuntu version? [20:44] rryan : Unreal3.2.6/Unreal3.2 in stead of cd Unreal3.2.6/Unreal3.2 [20:44] So... any idea? [20:44] you might have something running heavy, do you know how to check your processes for that kindof thing? [20:44] Ind[y]: I can't help you if you're oblique. "not working" doesn't tell me anything [20:44] psyjoniz, so what you did about that? [20:44] why is my browser with gutsy very slow? [20:44] Dr_willis, if a partition is mounted as root, it is writable only as root [20:44] k, thanks [20:44] Dan2552: amazing how much hardware makers skimp these days, no? :) [20:44] How do i format a disk on lnux?

I think I am clear. Firefox works as though msttcorefotns were not there. [20:44] heh - i took the laptop apart, took the fan out and lubed the bearing so it wouldn't be so loud :D [20:44] neopsyche: use the partition editor [20:44] are ubuntu servers bogged down today? [20:44] kahrytan, you need to chown a directory ON the partition. then the users can acess that directory. I dont know of a way to make the 'root' of the drive user accessable. [20:44] Gigi: found the answer :) http://tinyurl.com/yvc62t [20:44] rryan : [20:44] rryan : that right? [20:45] beerfan: is there a sudo command? [20:45] Hello!!! Does anybody play Wolf. Enemy Territory? I have problem, my server list is empty. Can anybody help me? [20:45] hey I just got information from someone that this seems to be a familiar bug of ubuntu, as it happened to him too [20:45] Unknown^ : well, its more like, if you have a program called 'foo' and its installed in your home directory, you have to be in your home directory to be able to say ./foo to run it.. but if you add it to your path somewhere, you can then type 'foo' anywhere and it will run [20:45] and it didn't happen on suse [20:45] Vlet awesome!!! Thanks a lot! I'll take a look [20:45] Dr_willis, no i dont [20:45] cwkaya: how do i [20:45] so the sound-thing seems to be something that needs to be fixed!

If those change the permissions. Im not sure. [20:49] beerfan: I can see some MS fonts there, yes. [20:49] how are upgrades to gusty going, fairly well?

So there is a problem with some mirrors, including ca.archive.ubuntu.com [21:20] Alien18, mplayer -vo xv /path/to/file [21:20] Is there any programs similar to Programmer's Notepad for Ubuntu? [21:20] guys i just installed fresh gutsy accidently i installed emerald when i could change the decoration through applications > other > window decoration :( please help should i remove emerald and is emerald good to keep??? [21:20] hi people. can you tell me if this gnunet stuff is installed by default? i've been through a few distro upgrades, and this thing is causing my problems, can i safely remove it? i've read up on it, but the information is well, rather broad. [21:20] miir: 1) plug in drive 2) dmesg | tail 3) if it said like sda or whatever or sdb 4) sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb is basic answer [21:20] thnx [21:20] Bsims, that's fine, if you do that, the rest of the updates from the net might be small enough to do now [21:20] * Psi-Jack sighs./ [21:20] omega_: you mean, gcc, right? you should be able to, from any terminal, just run it as 'gcc' [21:20] miir: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Flash-Memory-HOWTO/ It might not be the easiest tutorial, but I was the tech editor on it and I can vouch for its accuracy. :) [21:20] yes [21:20] who is able to explain why I cannon run OPENGL in WINE on CS 1.6 without it laggin, workes fine in software mode [21:20] Alien18, without the -vo xv to see what is actually happening originally [21:20] So, nobody here uses CUPS to print in ubuntu 7.10? ;) [21:20] miir: there is also a disk mounter in gnome menu which is easier i guess [21:20] Psi-Jack, yes I got it working earlier today [21:20] astro76: Heh I found a mirror for the alternate that gave me 900+kps [21:20] pppoe_dude: will "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" allow me to configure double monitirs? [21:20] Anyone here exprience slow boot in ubuntu 7.10 [21:20] Psi-Jack, what are you actually trying to print? [21:20] novanosis, can't you set it to use DirectX ? [21:20] guys i just installed fresh gutsy accidently i installed emerald when i could change the decoration through applications > other > window decoration :( please help should i remove emerald and is emerald good to keep??? [21:20] pppoe_dude: A test page. :p [21:21] heh [21:21] deformation: having to redownload - will be a little bit - don't go nowhere [21:21] hey guys [21:21] no luck with my sound [21:21] anyone have a problem with nvidia binary drivers? mine is always going back to vesa 640*480 [21:21] NullName, i think so, just back up a copy of your xord.conf and try it out [21:21] Hi friends! [21:21] Psi-Jack, I use cups-pdf a lot. [21:21] bofh80: I dont know how? [21:21] bee_: Did you have any problems with Unsupported format 'application/postscript'!? [21:21] could it be because im in livecd? [21:21] Psi-Jack, perhaps you are using the wrong driver? [21:21] i'm doing /dev/dsp, where can i see/change the frequency of it? [21:21] psyjoniz: i will be here, you are my only hope!! [21:21] or do i need a separate program?= [21:21] pppoe_dude: Nope. It detected the Z600 just fine. [21:21] novanosis, i'm sure where you choose OPENGL or Software mode you can select DirectX [21:21] is there any way to install in text modo a "Desktop Edition" of ubuntu? [21:21] 1,441 ppl might disagree ;) [21:21] but when i want to configure the apache always tell me i don't haved [21:21] bofh80: i will give it a try i will return [21:22] rdavila, just press esc at the boot screen [21:22] Anyone here exprience slow boot in ubuntu 7.10, my feisty didnt have this problem [21:22] pppoe_dude: I'm getting Unsupported format 'application/postscript'!, when I try to print. Had to use the web interface to get that actual error message. [21:22] Psi-Jack, what does "echo hello world | lp" give? [21:22] Is there a way to stop the window manager defaulting to compiz/visual effects at startup and back to metacity? [21:22] warbisshop, out of interest, do you have a wireless device? [21:22] ye [21:22] its on my laptop [21:22] whats the command to purge my apt cache so it forces a download from the repo please? [21:22] but my desktop doesnt have this problem :( [21:22] pppoe_dude: Unsupported format 'application/postscript'! [21:22] Err [21:22] hello [21:22] there's a way to use emerald-themes in gutsy ? [21:22] pppoe_dude: lp: Error - no default destination available. [21:23] hello [21:23] to use emerald-themes like beryl does [21:23] googlah, is this the same as "alternate edition"? [21:23] CheesyMonkey: in the appearance contro panel, select 'none' on the visual effects tab [21:23] warbisshop, oh see, how long does it take to boot? and what wireless card is it? [21:23] Psi-Jack, which one the first or the second? [21:23] ok how i can renew the Path? [21:23] warbisshop: hit esc at bootup then at grub menu hit 'e' to edit then at kernel line hit e to edit again and remove the quiet splash hit enter and then b to boot at least then you will see what it is slow doing make note of that during boot [21:23] mon^rch: apt-cache update, I believe. [21:23] pppoe_dude: The non-default, second one. ;) [21:23] rdavila, i guess so, not sure though :/ [21:23] Vlet, Its already selected. but when i login im left borderless, [21:23] can anyone here confirm if GNUNET-DAEMON is part of the DEFAULT install ? do i NEED it for anything? i installed a lot of crap, i don't know if this was one of them [21:23] Hi all. I have a question about printer setup with IPP. When I try to set up a print using IPP, after entering the hostname and clicking "Find Queue", I just get a neverending "Scanning" message in the IPP Browser window. Is there a particular format I should use for the address I enter? [21:23] Psi-Jack, are you using a custom driver? [21:23] warbisshop: that is temp it will not effect any setting and when you reboot nothing is chanced [21:24] changed [21:24] ok, very thanks googlah ;) [21:24] Is there a way to activate the sound file previews in Gutsy? [21:24] hello [21:24] i have a ace archive containing 80 files, when i try to extract it, it stops at file.c40 i have tried with 4 different archives, same story, anyone ? [21:24] pppoe_dude, both times (with and without) i get vertical yellow lines [21:24] rdavila, not a problem, try it out :) [21:24] there's a way to use emerald-themes in gutsy ? [21:24] to use emerald-themes like beryl does [21:24] pppoe_dude: Nope. Dude. This is like, out-of-the-box install on CUPS. Nothing fancy. The Z600 was auto-detected, and I checked, it's using the right driver. That much I can see. ;) [21:24] pike_, thanks for the advice, i can use that to solve the problem on my little bro's pc :D [21:24] pppoe_dude, no picture [21:24] Alien18, what about mplayer -vo sdl /file [21:24] Hi all, I'm paranoid about what I'm trying to do, so if anyone could help me out I'd *really* appreciate it - I'm looking for the easiest way to shrink my Linux partition, create an NTFS partition and install XP on the NTFS partition. I want to know how to keep my Linux partition bootable after this since Windows likes to overwrite the MBR. Any ideas? [21:24] when i let it boot like normal it takes about 5 mins [21:24] when i press ctrl alt F1 it works a lot faster [21:25] my xwindows crashes regularly by turning the screen into black [21:25] do you guys have similar problems with Firefox on Gutsy? when you press the 'launch web browser' on your multimedia keyboard... does your homepage gets opened or file:///home/user (like by me) ??? [21:25] pppoe_dude, same [21:25] i have to run this script to fix it http://nopaste.info/7057a9ceda.html [21:25] in a minute -2 i'm booted up [21:25] Psi-Jack, sounds like a bug [21:25] Hi, I was wondering,.... I have Ubuntu server 7.10 and did apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to get my gui installed and it didn't work well at first and had to redo the apt-get and update about 5 times for it to finish... now it's finally started going through the install process and now it's been frozen at: Reloading system log daemon for over and hour.... is this normal? [21:25] Has the ATI support/drivers been improved in 7.10? [21:25] Alien18, what video card are you using? [21:25] does anybody know how to overcome the problem? [21:25] pppoe_dude: request id is Z600_Series-1 (1 file(s)) [21:25] так лучше? [21:25] nvidia [21:25] Is there a way to get sound previews in Gutsy like in Edgy or Fawn? [21:25] pppoe_dude: That's after I set lp -d Z600_Series. :) [21:25] because it is quite unconvenient to reboot in repair mode to run this script each time i log off [21:25] ау [21:25] Psi-Jack, did it print? [21:25] pppoe_dude: Yeah, bug, what I'm thinking, [21:26] pppoe_dude: Waiting to see.. [21:26] Vesuro, System > Administration > Partition editor for the pariutions [21:26] oh my word, now I checked to see if there is a selection for directX and all I saw was OPENGL,SOFTWARE,D3D. I tried D3D and now when I open CS it takes me back to my login screen for ubuntu [21:26] pike it says it succeeded [21:26] jesus [21:26] whshould i do?at [21:26] hey guys i have a 1tb external drive and im using linux. should i format it to FAT or just leave it as NTFS? [21:26] i didn't know that ubuntu needed internet connection to install o_o [21:26] ds1, yes? [21:26] pike can i close the terminal now? [21:26] pppoe_dude: It went through the queue, and is no longer there. But no print. LOL [21:26] Psi-Jack, on ubuntu, lp should automatically have the default printer setup (unless you don't have the Z600 set as your default in cups, perhaps) [21:26] and now it's stuck on 82% with scanning the mirror [21:26] o_O [21:26] pppoe_dude, its nvidia, not sure of the model [21:26] Vesuro, the boot sector thing is quite bad yes, i'm sure there's a simple way to fix that afterwards using the Ubuntu Live CD > but someone else here should clarify a simple way to rewrite the MBR [21:26] !nvidia | Alien18 [21:26] Alien18: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [21:27] isn't there a way to run the install without the whole system ? [21:27] bofh80 takesa bout 5 mins and its an intel wireless card [21:27] novanosis, D3D is Direct3D [21:27] loving the ubuntu firefox themes [21:27] do you guys have the same problem with Firefox on Ubuntu 7.10? when you press the 'launch web browser' button on your multimedia keyboard... does your homepage gets opened (like google) or 'file:///home/user' opens (like by me) ??? [21:27] oh my word, now I checked to see if there is a selection for directX and all I saw was OPENGL,SOFTWARE,D3D. I tried D3D and now when I open CS it takes me back to my login screen for ubuntu [21:27] D3D is a Windows thing, you should select OpenGL or Software.. [21:27] Alien18, and / or stick around and get someone else to help you coz i have no experience with nvidia [21:27] warbisshop, did you see pike_ 's information? [21:27] pppoe_dude: I don't have any printer set default. I didn't want to, until it was tested. But Ubuntu install did not set the default, either, apparently. [21:27] no help [21:27] novanosis, ouch [21:27] hi all, anyone succeeded using nvidia binary drivers with 7.10? [21:27] I have a question about printer setup with IPP. When I try to set up a print using IPP, after entering the hostname and clicking "Find Queue", I just get a neverending "Scanning" message in the IPP Browser window. Is there a particular format I should use for the address I enter? [21:27] ;-( [21:27] BIG PROBLEM: I have a message saying "GRUB Loading stage1.5 GRUB loading, please wait... Error 15. I'm trying to enter Windows but it won't display the dual boot screen. Can someone tell me what happened?

[21:28] warbisshop, cool. let us know what you find :) [21:28] pppoe_dude thanx [21:28] novanosis, delete your CS config file [21:28] Psi-Jack, i'm out of ideas, perhaps check /var/log/cups? [21:28] hello, i am trying to repair a ubuntu install. my friend created a new user account and used the home from the only one user that existed... since she had done that, it is impossible to use the sudo command. [21:28] pppoe_dude: Already did. No errors. LOL [21:28] puli: yes [21:28] warbisshop, thanks for the information about the system. i have a pci belkin pci card in my bros' pc and it takes ages to boot ubuntu [21:28] pike can i close that window now? [21:28] HELP [21:28] am i invisible or something? [21:28] puli: that should be it. a reboot also would have worked but that is a little drastic :) [21:28] Psi-Jack, although if the lp command went through with no errors, then the document should have prined [21:29] Psi-Jack, you sure the printer is plugged in? [21:29] do you guys have the same problem with Firefox on Ubuntu 7.10? when you press the 'launch web browser' button on your multimedia keyboard... does your homepage gets opened (like google) or 'file:///home/user' opens (like by me) ???

[22:12] neopsyche: fdisk /dev/your-device-here [22:12] bofh80: it was probably a dependacy brought in i dont think the defuault intall uses it thatd be a little odd but possible i guess [22:12] neopsyche: yes. just create a fat32 partition [22:12] LiMaO: oooh.. should be careful about that one.

Input/output error during write on /dev/sdc [22:13] jhs haha !

[22:13] neopsyche: it'll ask for changes.. then when exiting fdisk it'll ask to write the changes or not [22:13] that means 11,000 people need help because something went wrong with their 7.10 update [22:13] (like myself) [22:13] is http://us.archive.ubuntu.com down / running like a snail!?

[22:15] oh crap [22:15] gutsy is out [22:15] and if I install it [22:15] neopsyche: press 'm' check out the commands for 'list partitions', 'delete partition' and 'write changes' [22:15] MTecknology - different architecture [22:15] where is the changlog? [22:15] <`ph8> whenever i try to start compiz (set effects to 'normal' or 'extra') - my screen just goes white, i can do things like turn rain on and draw fire - but the screen is white and no windows are visible - any ideas why that happens? [22:16] it does included ANOTHER option for Fluxbox [22:16] it is very strange [22:16] anyone else find Gparted on the Gutsy LiveCD incredibly unstable? [22:16] gnutron: I meant, what's the dif between the two [22:16] can some one tell me why i cant put fiels on a usb drive [22:16] LiMaO: says 'selected partition 1' [22:16] said i dont have permision to move files to the usb hd [22:16] I have a really strange problem. I upgraded to gutsy and gnome runs horrible - It's very slow and laggy. However, when I logged in with a dummy-user (I never used) everything was fine, and compiz was running great. What could the problem be? How can I "reset gnome" ? I tried deleting ".gconf*" but it didn't help [22:16] I have a problem. I would love to install Ubuntu dual boot (and have before) except the GRUB/LILO menu bugs the hell out of everyone else that uses this computer. So I was wondering if it would be possible to do a HD install, but not install a bootloader. And then burn GRUB (or lilo) to a disk. So that windows would start if I didn't have the disk in, but when I put it in and restarted it would give me a menu to select XP or linux. [22:17] bobbo: I've used gutsy on alteast 4 installs now and partitioner in the installer worked just fine for me anyway [22:17] gorski, double check the command used in the launcher then [22:17] DmonGuard, on the last step of the desktop installer, you can choose not to install grub. [22:17] MTecknology 386 kernel runs on pc's. 686 arch is another type machine [22:17] neopsyche: P = display partitions; D = delete partition; N = new partition [22:17] SkinnyPuppy34: it worked for me, just crashed a lot :D [22:17] neopsyche: that's the order you should follow [22:17] anyone had trouble with there wifi cards? [22:17] gutsy out? [22:17] LiMaO: WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. [22:17] The kernel still uses the old table. [22:17] The new table will be used at the next reboot. [22:17] I know, but how would I go about burning it to a disk so that it gives me a linux or windows menu if and only if i insert the CD [22:18] Elfboy, /topic [22:18] Pelo: it sais: gksudo "nautilus --browser %U" [22:18] i whant to intstall apache on linux......what is the simple way? [22:18] neopsyche: try umounting it first.. 'sudo umount /dev/sdc' [22:18] lol [22:18] its always the wifi that gives me trouble every time i upgrade ubuntu [22:18] hallo [22:18] cosmin: sudo apt-get install apache2 [22:18] DmonGuard, you can set grub to start windows by default and you can also hide the menu , so that when you want to boot ubuntu you just hit esc after the bios stuff , get the menu and then you can select ubuntu [22:18] LiMaO: sudo: unmount: command not found [22:18] oh... [22:18] dots [22:18] neopsyche: not UNmount.. but UMOUNT [22:18] lol [22:18] hehe [22:18] Pelo: i removed --browser %U and it works [22:19] why Ubuntu is in English? [22:19] PriceChild, can u help me with some thing [22:19] it should be in Latim [22:19] Pelo: I know I can start windows by default, but how do I hide the menu like that [22:19] LiMaO: says not mounted [22:19] nobody would complain [22:19] gorski, congrats [22:19] why latin? [22:19] quittt: It is based in England/Isle of Man? [22:19] quittt: you can choose whatever language you want. even esperanto [22:19] so, i upgraded to 7.10, now it won't boot in 2.6.14-22, only in 2.6.16-20. any suggestions?

Welcome! [22:19] Elfboy, ask your question to the channel and hopefully somone will respond. [22:19] is there a guide for xgl and gusty anywhere? [22:19] lol ubuntu in latin [22:19] DmonGuard, check the frst few lines in menu.lst there is a hidemenu line just uncomment it [22:19] LiMaO, I mean the whole kernel, everything made on latin [22:19] Anyone know where the setting to disable the scroll wheel switching desktops is? [22:19] I can't find it. :| [22:20] neopsyche: if fdisk can't access the partition table of your usb disk, it probably is screwed =P hehe [22:20] So if I do that, it will boot windows all like normal unless I hit escape after bios startup to load the menu? [22:20] I think i need to reboot. [22:20] ok [22:20] warbisshop, did you get anywhere? [22:20] neopsyche: btw [22:20] ok i have a usb drive and i cant add stuff to it couse it said i dont have permision to move fiels why ? [22:20] LiMaO: see you in a bit.

[22:20] neopsyche: when i had that issue with my cell phone, i used it's software to format the memory card [22:21] soundray, seems there was a package, like mpg123 or mpg 321 that used to have to be installed, but that does not work either [22:21] ok i have a usb drive and i cant add stuff to it couse it said i dont have permision to move fiels why ? [22:22] How do I mount a linux HDD from a hdd [22:22] Elfboy, fields or files? [22:22] repeat: so, i upgraded to 7.10, now it won't boot in 2.6.14-22, only in 2.6.16-20. any suggestions?

[22:23] jinx099, which release are you running right now ? [22:23] I could have sworn it was scheduled closer to the end of this month, obviously I was mistaken [22:23] Elfboy: sudo mv my-file /my-destination/ [22:23] ok [22:23] ok, how do I mount a linux hdd from a live cd after a crash? [22:23] let me try [22:23] Elfboy: or gksudo nautilus [22:23] is there a guide for xgl and gusty anywhere? [22:23] and use a nice gui =P [22:24] youknowme: mount /dev/hd* /mnt [22:24] LiMaO: Unusually, it didn't show up, but i could type it's name into location and get an "unacessible" prompt.

[22:25] Ominous_: well, now effects are integrated by default, on cards that are known to support them correctly - so it either works for you out of the box, or you go hunting unofficial documentation :) [22:25] LiMaO: Thanks, that freed the space back up :) [22:25] r0b-, try nrg2iso [22:25] anyone tell me how to install restricted nvidia drivers please, since in the glxinfo my DIRECT Rending is set to NO [22:25] Esteth: you're welcome =) [22:25] got it thanks [22:25] Jhs: neither of these kernel versions have ever been used in ubuntu.

[23:06] Madpilot, Thank you [23:06] yes [23:06] sure how to setup ftp server on unbutu side [23:06] can anyone help me? i want to partition my hard drive and it is asking me how large to make each partition.... i dunno how much to allocate to windows xp and how much to allocsate to ubuntu!!! help! [23:07] minus, I currently only have one HDD, so can't give you more details than what's in those wiki pages [23:07] atouk, ftp isn't secure, use sftp [23:07] Blama: have you installed ubuntu to the hard disk? [23:07] iChick: in that case, i assume all you need to do is install GRUB to the external, and you should be good [23:07] what is the difference between packages "nvidia-glx-new" and "nvidia-glx" ?? should i try installing the one with "-new" to solve problems? [23:07] joanki: take it from me give both equal parts to the hd [23:07] joanki: it depends on how you plan to use your computer [23:07] caner, Yes if your card supports it. [23:07] my hadrd disk drive has 74 gb [23:07] of space available [23:07] joanki, Ubuntu needs ~5 GIG plus whatever media files etc you want to have on its partition [23:07] I have an ATI x800 GT. This means I have to use the vesa driver by doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and changing the driver. But when I reboot it goes back to ATI. [23:07] then give 37 to each joanki [23:07] ok [23:07] 3gb for windows [23:08] except it doesn't recognozr that there is anything bootable on the USB drive the mac bootloader doesn't recognize ext3 [23:08] joanki: ubuntu doesnt need much u can as much as u want [23:08] Hello === amt is now known as amt2 [23:08] :D [23:08] does xp need much? [23:08] jordan_U; there is one 160G hard drive partitioned into two, i want to wipe the whole thing, but need to pull some data off one === amt2 is now known as atq [23:08] atouk: sudo apt-get install proftpd + grpoftpd for a GUI setup tool for FTP, no idea about SFTP on Ubuntu [23:08] joanki: check out http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/partitioning [23:08] got an ugly problem: lost all my files on a ext3-partition - only folders left :/ [23:08] well it does but [23:08] joanki: yeah, i wouldn't install xp on les than 10gb partition === atq is now known as amt [23:08] matthew_, So you just need read access, not write to get the files? [23:08] it is geforce go 7200 . will it make any difference. i ve already installed the driver using restricted drivers manager but its buggy obviously [23:08] just go 50-50 [23:08] ok 37 each it is [23:08] thank you!!!! [23:08] its best to give them equal dibs.......you can access data in both partitions at anytime [23:08] Hey everybody, is there a reason why none of my settings in Ubuntu get saved? Nothing I do saves and I have to redo them when I reboot. I have an ATI x800 GT. This means I have to use the vesa driver by doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and changing the driver. But when I reboot it goes back to ATI. [23:08] caner, use -new if possible :) [23:08] jordan_U; sure [23:08] joanki, do 10 for windows, 10 for ubuntu system and the rest make it ntfs mounted on /export as a common partition between windows and linux [23:09] caner, and preferably use the retricted driver manager === amt is now known as atq [23:09] security isn't an issue since it's all localized. i just need someone to hand hold ftp server setup [23:09] matthew_, Ok, do you know the device name? ( /dev/something ) ? [23:09] what does that mean, src? [23:09] ??? === atq is now known as amt2 [23:09] why can't i get 3d effects during a live cd session [23:09] is that better to do what you just said? [23:09] about the sound ? [23:09] oooh. in that case, i dont know. surely there's a way to do it. but i'm not familiar with macs. [23:09] will the resticted drivers magager install the one with -new [23:09] does any know if I do a update from ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10 will it work even when i get throw to busy box from the live cd [23:09] caner, if you tell it to I think. [23:09] hey guys, im getting this error in my log [23:09] i downloaded the nvidia driver via restricted drivers manager but it's lost when i reboot [23:09] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(751) [23:09] create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users [23:09] src thats not necessary......ntfs-3g and ext2 drivers allow you to access both partitions [23:09] does gutsy ship with Gaim or Pidgin (hate that new name) [23:09] <[chr0n0s]> !ati [23:09] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [23:09] and i cant connect from my windows machine [23:09] riotkittie, What is the mac question ? :) [23:09] atouk: sudo apt-get install proftpd gproftpd will get you a server and a graphical settings editor, pretty self explanatory when you get in it [23:09] ok thanks let me give it a try. [23:09] joanki, that you make 3 partitions 1x10G for windows system, 1x10g for ubuntu and the rest as a "shared" partition between the two [23:09] is it possible to restorte files from an 2. partition, only folders left? :/ [23:10] tks [23:10] how do i do that, src? [23:10] so i have THREE partitions? [23:10] hello can anyone help me with my printer? [23:10] does gutsy ship with Gaim or Pidgin? (hate that new name) [23:10] joanki: i dont agree with that [23:10] i'm not very tecnical but isnt there a way to make a bottloader CD [23:10] ok i can't figure it out anyway [23:10] jordan_U; no [23:10] gonna do half and half [23:10] joanki: i am running windows and ubuntu [23:10] Dante123, pidgin [23:10] joanki: you just need half for each and then install the drivers to access each from the other [23:10] okay thanks PriceChild [23:10] matthew_, Find out from gparted or "sudo fdisk -L" [23:10] I wanto something like this for ubuntu!! http://www.panic.com/coda/ [23:11] hi all, how do i run a command at boot time (without a user logging in) [23:11] !bum | cwraig [23:11] cwraig: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [23:11] MrUnagi: do i have to install the drivers on BOTH operating systems?

[23:11] hi [23:11] its ok [23:11] how will i enable it after installing (i mean using apt-get). [23:11] can anyone help me with desktop effects??? [23:11] Quick question- if I have an external HD I want to use on both Ubuntu and windows, whats the best format to use [23:11] i had to do it a few times before i got it right [23:11] caner, use the restricted driver manager [23:11] what does that mean, mrunagi? just install ntfs -3g on linux and the ext one on windows????? [23:12] Hey everybody, is there a reason why none of my settings in Ubuntu get saved? Nothing I do saves and I have to redo them when I reboot. I have an ATI x800 GT. This means I have to use the vesa driver by doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and changing the driver. But when I reboot it goes back to ATI. [23:12] when i install ubuntu, there's a part that says "scanning mirror", and computer froze, how to skip this part? [23:12] lomez: vfat is supported by just about everybody [23:12] anyone know the terminal command to adjust monitor H-value [23:12] !ntfs-3g | joanki [23:12] joanki: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [23:12] those are the drivers that allow you to read and write each of the file systems from the other [23:12] why am i asked to reboot after installing nvidia drivers [23:12] Epson RX620 printer is detected but not scanner. Have not been able to get it installed [23:12] i did it before but i forgot the terminal command [23:12] don-o fat32 or ntfs better you think? [23:12] oh man [23:12] joanki, http://www.fs-driver.org/ [23:12] lomez: ntfs [23:12] if done during the live cd session the drivers is gone [23:12] don-o, alright, thanks [23:12] i hope i don't royally screw up [23:12] lomez: im just not sure if the read/write driver is trusted or not. apparently it is. [23:13] KeithWeisshar, You can just restart X [23:13] joanki, hope you have backups [23:13] :D [23:13] jordan_U; ok, /dev/sda1 [23:13] i do [23:13] KeithWeisshar, They say to reboot because it's "easier" [23:13] i have a hp amd64x2 5000+ media center XP (xp is 32bit software), trying to boot with 7.10 64-bit, going to black screen [23:13] but now i just had a system crash when reinstalling xp [23:13] argh [23:13] can I get some help please ? [23:13] joanki, happens [23:13] desktop effects help anyone? [23:13] does installing nvidia drivers require a reboot [23:13] src: when i am reinstalling xp, should i partition then? or should i let the ubuntu cd do it for me? [23:14] problem with sound . [23:14] KeithWeisshar: yes [23:14] matthew_, Ok, then run "sudo mkdir /media/ntfs-files && sudo mount -t -ro ntfs /dev/sda1 /media/ntfs-files" [23:14] justin__: what's your question? [23:14] joanki: always install windows before you install linux [23:14] since you're at it you might as well partition during the windows install and tell linux to use the free space [23:14] Hey everybody, is there a reason why none of my settings in Ubuntu get saved? Nothing I do saves and I have to redo them when I reboot. I have an ATI x800 GT. This means I have to use the vesa driver by doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and changing the driver. But when I reboot it goes back to ATI. [23:14] ntfs [23:14] ntfs supports fast searching and indexing [23:14] cause windows just overwrites the bootloader [23:14] blama u on a livecd? [23:14] zagibu: should i install xp in the full partition and then have the ubuntu cd partition it again for me? [23:15] scriptfu, No [23:15] what does nvidia-glx-new mean [23:15] I keep getting an I/O error on hd0 when trying to use the live CD... I dont have an hd0! It also attempts to write grub to hd0. anyone know how I can avoid this? [23:15] do i need a system account for every linux share i want to access from windows using samba? [23:15] err the software package for nvidia-glx-new is not enabled [23:15] yeah, just let ubuntu autopartition it's half of the drive [23:15] Jordan_U: scanner is not detected in Ubuntu........7.10 Epson RX620 [23:15] joanki, xp first, have the cd setup just the windows partition and leave the rest of the drive totally blank, then when installing ubuntu afterwards break the partition apart as needed [23:15] !restricted [23:15] I gotta say..im pretty impressed with Gutsy :D only 1 case i need to resolve: HDA Intel "onboard sound" does not work..i can chosse it in sound manager etc. but i get no sound. is there anyone out there who can help me troubleshoot this problem? [23:15] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [23:15] im not trying to share the home dir [23:15] ok [23:15] Hey does anyone know how I can setup dual monitors? [23:15] is there any way to install the nvidia driver on a usb flash drive from a live cd session [23:15] ekp, You tried xsane ? [23:15] so punzada, you are saying let xp ihave it ALL at first [23:15] no [23:15] and then let ubuntu cd split it [23:16] Jordan_U: yes [23:16] let xp have a part of it [23:16] ok [23:16] "nvidia-glx-new" is not enabled. huh? im trying to enable my video card... [23:16] but the it says that the way i did, it d: gets the rest [23:16] for data [23:16] Hey everybody, is there a reason why none of my settings in Ubuntu get saved? Nothing I do saves and I have to redo them when I reboot. I have an ATI x800 GT. This means I have to use the vesa driver by doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and changing the driver. But when I reboot it goes back to ATI. I am not on the LiveCD [23:16] orb2, System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics [23:16] is that correct [23:16] orb2: System -> Admin -> Graphics and Screens [23:16] adamk you still there? [23:16] sounds right [23:16] Jordan_U: printer is detected OK [23:16] Okay I tried that and only one screen shows up [23:16] ok [23:16] is it faster to copy large amounts of files and then delete, or cut-paste, or is it the same? [23:16] how do I open the file browser as root? [23:16] hello, i would like to remove a program(rutilt) from my comp. can anybody point to some direction? [23:16] Jordan_U: does not work as root either [23:16] !proftpd [23:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about proftpd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:16] lomez, Are you trying to move between partitions?

[23:17] joanki: you ought to use a partition program and set up the partition for windows at the size you want ... the rest will be empty unpartitioned space awaiting your ubunut install ... when you install ubuntu you will use its partition guide to install into the empty space [23:17] Jordan_U yes, between two drives actually, im reformatting one of them [23:17] !proftpd [23:17] Mr_Giraffe: google will probably work just as well since you know what you're looking for [23:18] I am trying to put a dependency in the usr/lib folder [23:18] don-o, i don't, that's the thing :P [23:18] Hey - Can someone help me with my totally hosed new Gutsy install. I'm relatively new to Linux and Ubuntu, but not so new that I know my problem isn't normal. [23:18] I just can't figure out how [23:18] Fiona: can you elaborate on 'totally hosed' [23:18] seamus7: so it's good i made c: drive for windows 37 and left d: at 37 for data [23:18] Jordan_U: tried editing /etc/udev/ rules but no luck [23:18] correct? [23:18] oops [23:18] I'm desperate for a laptop where I can install Ubuntu and it will work right off for less than $1500. Has anyone got an advice? [23:18] how i go to tty? ctrl+alt+F1 didn't work [23:18] says I don't have permission [23:18] does anybody know how to set up an ftp server using proftpd? [23:18] Fiona: what went wrong [23:18] i thought i had it working, but apparently pam is borked and hating me [23:18] <---- dropped vista for ubuntu!! [23:18] times9: f6 [23:18] Hi everybody, I'm using Gutsy on a MacBook. Any way I can link CTRL+Click to right-click? [23:18] ekp, Is it supposedly supported by sane? [23:18] and i need to know how to get pam to <3 proftpd [23:18] !pam [23:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about pam - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:18] Dumptruck, sudo cp; [23:19] OiPenguin: Dell sells laptops with ubuntu preinstalled. i'm not sure of the specs, but .... they should be in that price range. also, system 76. [23:19] Mr_Giraffe: sudo apt-get install proftpd gproftpd, set it up using gproftpd in System menu [23:19] msikma, Yes, but I just do a three finger tap [23:19] OiPenguin, have you looked at Ubuntu on Dell's? [23:19] Dumptruck, or if you have lots of stuff to do as root, do a sudo bash or sudo su - [23:19] what is cp? [23:19] bobbo, i hate guis, but whatever [23:19] Basically, I had issues with my monitor, but Gutsy managed to fix them, but then I found that the gamma settings were screwed, and xgamma didn't seem to do it right. So I installed the restricted driver for my ATi card. Then when I restarted, the keyboard setting reverted to QWERTY on login (I use Dvorak) and it wouldn't accept my usrename or password. [23:19] OiPenguin they are pretty decent prices, a bit cheaper than Windows, and theyre not bad [23:19] Dumptruck, cp = copy [23:19] Jordan_U: I have had no problem with other distros including Debian based [23:19] ah ha [23:19] Jordan_U: I'd personally prefer CTRL+Click since that's how I used to do that in Mac OS X [23:19] I went to the recovery terminal and the user still exists [23:19] Hey everybody, is there a reason why none of my settings in Ubuntu get saved? Nothing I do saves and I have to redo them when I reboot. I have an ATI x800 GT. This means I have to use the vesa driver by doing "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and changing the driver. But when I reboot it goes back to ATI. I am not on the LiveCD [23:19] Mr_Giraffe: jsut leave out gproftpd then [23:19] i have geforce go 7200 . should i use nvidia-glx-new or nvidia-glx-legacy ? [23:19] Does anyone know how to configure Dual Screens when only one shows up in "Screens and Graphics" ????? [23:19] Dumptruck, the thing you use to copy stuff from to (cp ) [23:19] bobbo, i already have proftpd installed [23:19] anyone know what software for nvidia-glx-new not enabled [23:20] the command line copy kinda freaks me out [23:20] jordan_U; i don't think that worked, it just spitted out some sort of usage manual [23:20] Mr_Giraffe: what part are you needing help with? [23:20] i just don't know how do get it to work with pam [23:20] Dumptruck, get used to it. [23:20] Fiona: thats sounds wierd.. was a clean install of 7.10 [23:20] joanki: i don't think you understand ... windows will be in the ntfs files system while ubuntu will use the ext3 file system .... your hard drive will be partitioned (divided) into one area just for your windows operating system and all the files you have for it ... and the other partition/s will be just for your ubuntu operating system and all the files you use within it ... [23:20] msikma, The problem is that ctrl click already means something in a lot of applications, usually to open something in a new tab ( like in Firefox ) [23:20] riotkittie: lomez: I'm in Norway. They don't sell version which comes with preinstalled Ubuntu in the us. May I assume that similar models will work? [23:20] IpMoo: yep it was [23:20] Jordan_U: modprobe ls? [23:20] anyone have this problem? when i install ubuntu it hangs at 82%, "scanning the mirror" [23:20] lol [23:20] Fiona: what were u running befor 7.04 >? [23:20] <--- dropped ubuntu for empanadas [23:20] ekp, ? [23:20] Jordan_U: hmm...I also have a fancy function key to the left of my CTRL. [23:20] yellow_chicken I had that problem and I left it for 15 minutes and it finished [23:20] I guess that could be used [23:21] joanki: there are windows ext2/3 file system drivers and there are ntfs file system drivers for linux [23:21] IpMoo: Yes, but I did a clean install anyway. I burned tho iso again, formatted the partition and reinstalled afresh [23:21] would that command list perifrials? [23:21] Does anyone know how to configure Dual Screens when only one shows up in "Screens and Graphics" ????? [23:21] Blama: what does « mount | grep "on / " » say? [23:21] OiPenguin, if you visit the US site for linux-equipped machines, and configure a windows-equipped one identically, then yes the hardware should all work out of the box with a 'Dell remastered CD' [23:21] orb2: for real? i am still waiting .... [23:21] bobbo, pam is on here and isn't playing nice with proftpd [23:21] in B do I need to use the file name? [23:21] seamus7: ok, but i started correctly? i am reinstalling my xp op system (to clean up my old op system, which had a memory leak) and partitioned it to have 47 m each [23:21] I love 7.10. Excellent software. [23:21] is that correct? [23:21] does it take a long time for 7.10 amd64 bit to boot up, it stays on a black screen for a while, got impatient and turned it off [23:21] in your example? [23:21] msikma, That is the command key ( in mac terms ) / the super key ( in linux terms ) [23:21] msikma: I KNOW! [23:21] i would hate to do all the installations and find out i did it wrong [23:21] does the fah-install script still work in gutsy? [23:21] at this point i can turn around and fix it [23:21] hey can someone help me install wine onto feisty fawn? [23:21] pls [23:21] NOOO!! my windowborder where has it gone?! T___T i got compiz but no window border [23:21] Jordan_U: I mean the laptop-only "fn" key [23:21] !wine > Dankchild (Dankchild, see the private message from Ubotu) [23:21] flake: does it work after waiting a while? or it just never starts? [23:21] Dankchild, it's fairly simple, just sudo apt-get install wine iirc [23:21] msikma: Love it when you still can... there are times we fall in love with it over and over... then there are times we have a love/hate relationship, but nothing too violent of nature :) [23:21] Dumptruck, not necessarily. for example cp /home/user/myfile.yxy /usr/local/bin will copy myfile.yxy to /usr/local/bin [23:22] fah = folding@home. [23:22] please could somoene just tel me if i did it correctly [23:22] i select start or install and it does a couple of small things and then goes 'black' [23:22] Blama: i meant, type that in the terminal and give me the output [23:22] joanki: if you're starting from scratch then the first thing to do is create a partition of in your case 37GB into which you will install windows ... the rest of the hard drive is empty unpartitioned space until you install Ubuntu at which point you use its partitioning guide to use the unused space in which to install [23:22] when I run debmirror for Gutsy, I get 'Patch binary missing, falling back to --pdiff=none' - any suggestions? [23:22] has anyone used deb to get packages? [23:22] any one having problems downloading the upgrade files? [23:22] Jordan_U: command to list USB devices? === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [23:22] i also tried safe graphics, and check cd for problems [23:22] n8: "used deb to get packages"? [23:22] Just a few hiccups on MacBook (mostly the wireless), but it's getting there. [23:22] ekp, lsusb [23:22] wizard__: yeah everyone is, lot of traffic on the server [23:22] seamus7: thank you got it [23:22] wizard__: just about everyone, since just about everyone is trying [23:22] OiPenguin: if you can find machines with similar specs, getting ubuntu running really shouldnt be an issue. i've only installed on OLD dell laptops but everything's been cool. [23:23] No candidate version found for wine === rsfriends is now known as elite [23:23] LjL, I dont see what you typed [23:23] The following packages have been kept back: [23:23] gnome-btdownload gnupg gpgv hal hal-device-manager lftp libhal-storage1 [23:23] libhal1 tzdata [23:23] 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 9 not upgraded. [23:23] Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. [23:23] Writing extended state information... Done [23:23] thats what it says [23:23] a measure of demand or surprise [23:23] does anybody here know about getting ftp daemons to work for ubuntu?

[23:23] seamus7: it is asking me if i want to format the c: drive with NTFS file system, is this correct? [23:23] i do want NTFS, right? [23:23] One thing that surprised me was that since I didn't have internet access during installation, it commented out *all* repositories because it couldn't ping them! [23:24] src, it's trying to go through pam but for some reason isn't working... [23:24] n8: deb is a definition used in /etc/apt/sources.list, see that for an example [23:24] I had to uncomment every single one of them by myself just to be able to apt-et. [23:24] LjL, Ok, I'll check. [23:24] i have geforce go 7200 . should i use nvidia-glx-new or nvidia-glx-legacy ? [23:24] ok thank you... i will try other sources [23:24] silliness: sudo it should ask you where you want to install it [23:24] So I guess I'll bug that [23:24] PAM is a whole different beast [23:24] riotkittie: Cheers, I'll try to set up a us/norway comparison and will return back.

[23:26] Can someone help me: I had issues with my monitor, but Gutsy managed to fix them, but then I found that the gamma settings were screwed, and xgamma didn't seem to do it right. So I installed the restricted driver for my ATi card. Then when I restarted, the keyboard setting reverted to QWERTY on login (I use Dvorak) and it wouldn't accept my usrename or password. I went to the recovery terminal and the user still exists. [23:26] Viper550, make up your own mind. [23:26] Dumptruck, well how's your grub menu look like? [23:26] Viper550: it sounds a bit stupid, yes. [23:26] elite, np [23:26] hi folks what library do you need to make kde based programs look good in ubuntu? the skins for the programs i am using in gutsy do not look good [23:26] ;) [23:26] Jordan_U: any suggestions? [23:26] Rob125: It accepts the chooser I chose but not the backround color. I'm not using a login window anyway and have automatic login enabled but the backround color still matters. it worked before upgrading to gutsy. [23:27] i run deb in term and i get " bash: deb: command not found " [23:27] Viper550: it depends on what you consider good. i doubt anyone here would label it awful by any means. [23:27] I am also able to access the windows files from linux [23:27] Dumptruck, its in /boot/grub/menu.lst i think [23:27] le canne!!!!!!!!!!! [23:27] can we install ubuntu without it downloading any packages? [23:27] one sec [23:27] I like it, and I dare say I have great taste.

Grazie! [23:27] n8: that is because there isn't any command called "deb". read those instructions again - or at least give us a link to them. [23:27] ok, this is what comes up when I try and update to 7.10.

[23:27] <`ph8> i'm having a couple of issues with the taskbar disappearing when switching desktops [23:27] does gusty even use an xorg.conf anymore, because i TOATLY deleted mine, restarted, and nothing happened, now its working fine with no xorg.conf [23:27] ? [23:28] why would you do that [23:28] Rob125: "Themed with face browser" [23:28] because i wanted a fresh one [23:28] Has anybody used the ubuntu F@H install script on gutsy? when I try to install it as a server and run /etc/init.d/foldingathome start I get '/etc/init.d/foldingathome: 23: [[: not found; /etc/init.d/foldingathome: 33: [[: not found. Any ideas? [23:28] ekp, No, you might try grabbing the sane *source* package from debian since that worked and compile it on Ubuntu [23:28] does anyone have ever used a mix CD audio and data on ubuntu I can not see the tracks sound juicer dos not play it either see the tracks [23:28] Ok [23:29] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: bulletproofx. [23:29] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: i guess that's because of the "bulletproof X" feature that was implemented in gutsy. [23:29] i'm looking for some help on getting my headphone port working [23:29] HOLOGRAPHICpizza, If there is no Xorg.conf it just figures things out at start, it's been able to do that for a while [23:29] Jordan_U: does 7.10 have the tools or do I need to download them [23:29] well how can i coustomise my xorg.conf then? [23:29] bulletproofx makes me want to shoot myself [23:29] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: the same way you customized the last one. [23:29] im looking for somebody to help me with wpa2, anybody ? pls, help is much appreciated [23:29] riotkittie, Actually it sounds like it's just X not needing explicit configuration for his hardware :) [23:29] wow this is cool [23:30] hmm,comment supprimer un dossier dans ma poubell!! y veut pas (fichier en lecture seule,impossible de supprimer) [23:30] Jordan_U; "mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/ntfs-files': File exists" [23:30] Hi. somebody can help with freenx or nx free edition on Gutsy?

[23:30] is there anybody here willing to help me get my headphone jack working? [23:30] ekp, You will need to install the package "build-essential" and use apt-get build-dep, do you already know how to recompile a debian source package? [23:30] ooh sorry i'm in di english room [23:30] how do i enable stuff like the cube effect etc.. [23:30] Jordan_U: ah. i thought X always required a config [23:31] unixboard [23:31] matthew_, Just run the command after the "&&" then [23:31] k3nt. go to system>preferences>appearance [23:31] K3nt: on gutsy? install compizconfig-settings-manager [23:31] Congratulations folks. This 7.10 is an exceptional product. I hope everyone will take the time to spread the word. Tell one new person a day about ubuntu. In no time you'll be surprised at what you have accomplished. Again, congratulations on such a fantastic product. [23:31] riotkittie, It used to, but it becomes less and less dependent on it every release :) [23:31] riotkittie, Soon it will only be required if you want to override a default :) [23:32] Jordan_U: frontends or backends for Sane? [23:32] Can anyone help me set up dual montiors please? Only one will show up in the Screens and Graphics menu :( [23:32] anybody know why ubuntu gutsy connection is slow on the internet is there anything I can configure? [23:32] Jordan_U: I dunno if I'd call it less dependent. Perhaps more fool-proof. [23:32] whenever i try to start desktop effects, i get a toatly un-descriptive "could not start desktop effects" [23:32] src: did you get my message? [23:32] ekp, Backends [23:32] Dumptruck, no [23:32] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: what kind of graphics card do you have?

[23:32] radeon X700 [23:32] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: are you using an ati? [23:32] Rob125, If it doesn't even need the file to exist, isn't that less dependent on it ? :) [23:32] im on gusty [23:32] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: k. you're blacklisted. we can over ride that, if you'd like. [23:32] using flgrx driver [23:33] blacklisted? [23:33] is there an issue with compiz and the window manager? i enabled the easy effects and my window manager dissappeared [23:33] oh. flgrx i cannot help with. [23:33] Jordan_U: Well, it does need the file to exist. X flips out if it doesn't have it -- now it'll just write one if it can't find it. [23:33] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: desktop effects won't work with the fglrx driver [23:33] src: oh I sent the menu.ls file [23:33] danget [23:33] Easy question :) What is the best way to install software in Ubuntu so that it picks up whenever there are updates to both supported and nonsupported applications? is it by the synaptic manager or apt-get or aptitude? [23:33] and it is to big to paste here [23:33] HOLOGRAPHICpizza, Install XGL ( sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl ) if you want compiz with fglrx [23:33] Dumptruck, put it in the paste bin.. see channel topic [23:33] lavender_dream: all three will work perfectly :) [23:33] riotkittie: ok, now what [23:33] thanks [23:33] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: ATI should be releasing a new version of fglrx that does work with it in the next month or two though [23:33] Hi, I have an issue I couldnt resolve myself. I installed ubuntu on my xp and it was fine, i had to format xp and after installing xp again the grub boot menu was gone it would directly go to xp [23:33] and send us the link [23:33] Rob125: You lie! [23:34] K3nt: wait. what are you what'ing me about? [23:34] I tried all of the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and it didnt work [23:34] How can i recover ubuntu? [23:34] i know this isn't the right room to ask this, but maybe someone will be nice and answer - i have a dell driver cd for vista, but i changed my op sys to xp... the cd doesn't say vista, can i use it to install the drivers in my xp operatins system? [23:34] lavender_dream: They all deal with the same database, so they all work interchangably [23:34] lavender_dream: synaptic is merely a graphical front end for apt. [23:34] lavender_dream: I do? I've not had any problem with them all working. Are you sure? === flake is now known as the [23:34] !pastebin [23:34] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [23:34] Can anyone help me set up dual montiors please? Only one will show up in the Screens and Graphics menu :( [23:34] HOLOGRAPHICpizza, Np, XGL might introduce some other problems though, it's not my favorite piece of software, which is why it is not installed by default [23:34] well not exactly. but eh. fever. laziness. woo. [23:34] anyone know if there is support for the creative x-fi cards yet? [23:34] joanki: maybe you can find the drivers for xp on the dell website? [23:34] yes but there are SO many [23:34] thanks i take that as a no [23:35] well, ill try xgl first [23:35] riotkittie: i installed that compiz-settings-manager [23:35] hi everyone [23:35] riotkittie: now what [23:35] K3nt: enable cube there. turn desktop wall off. up the # of desktops to 4 under the general settings tab, and you should have a cube [23:35] HOLOGRAPHICpizza xgl?compiz fusion????????????// [23:35] Rob125: I kid, seriously though... like my Firefox has a grey non-selectable list in the menu where I can check for upgrades... I know Firefox is at 2.0.0.7 yet Ubuntu uses 2.0.0.6, is it because of the repositories? === speaker219_ is now known as speaker219 [23:35] yes...

[23:36] anyone know if there is a sure-fire way to check if a graphics card is dead, or just needs a bios flashed? [23:36] unstable, You need to use the alternate CD for that [23:36] lavender_dream: I believe ubuntu disabled that feature since ubuntu uses a patched version of firefox their own version really [23:36] Rob125: firefox 2.0.0.7 fixed a bug with quicktime, which Linux does not have...thus, updating it to 2.0.0.7 in linux would be pointless [23:36] i can not get my headphone jack to work, can anybody help me? [23:36] lavender_dream: Its because 2.0.0.6 is in the repositories. Thats the version in ubuntu. It'll get updated in a few days, if it hasnt been already.

[23:38] how long does update take?

To upgrade, you need the alternate CD (or just do it from the internet) [23:39] mikebot: I dont think you can [23:39] mikebot: you cannot upgrade to 7.10 using the livecd, you must use the alternate cd of do an internet upgrade [23:39] yes [23:39] libpam0g could not install, what should i do? [23:39] HOLOGRAPHICpizza, If you use "gksu --su-mode" then you can run GUI apps as any other user , it uses su as a back end [23:39] mastercane: read up on what each repo is used for and you will see why [23:39] nice [23:39] Gutsy livecd wont use my LCD properly no matter which resolution I set manually or even in safe mode!

[23:40] mikebot: while you're running 7.04, insert the alternate cd and it should pop up a window that will help you :-) [23:40] should I use aptitude or apt-get? [23:40] with Gutsy [23:40] i have 7.04 [23:41] theres way too many people here, nevermind [23:41] Jordan_U, in way of showing anything on my screen instead of throwing it into stand by [23:41] ? [23:41] Flannel, No, "gksudo --su-mode" definitely uses su :) [23:41] Cable86: Do I have to download anythign from the internet if I do it from the alternate cd?

[23:41] mikebot 28 hours? [23:41] mikebot: i believe it depends on what packages you have installed....obviously they can't fit every single package available onto a single cd, so depending on what you have installed it may have to download some additional packages === fishwithapipe is now known as f|shy [23:41] Jordan_U: gksudo calls su with that flag? [23:41] Flannel: Thanks. [23:41] garu: yes. [23:41] Navid: should be setup (hd0) [23:42] is that bad? [23:42] what's the easiest way of data recovery on a ext3?

[23:42] help, login package failed [23:42] Jordan_U: gksu is symlinked to gksudo, so there's no difference there. (I'd check the man page myself, but I dont have gksu installed, so...) [23:42] OK, well, thanks for the help [23:42] Can anyone here tell me if Gusty is worth trying? [23:42] mikebot lol [23:43] I've going to try it, so hopefully brb.

I tried it and it said couldn't find like it isnt really. Anyone heard of this or know what he is talking about? [23:46] now EVERYTHING is breaking [23:46] garu: I'd say k3b is the best.

I don't believe theres a method in place currently to casper up a current system [23:47] t|om, Please file a bug report [23:47] numus: did you try the restricted drivers manager? [23:47] orb2: you have to inistall compizconfig-settings-manager in synaptic in order to get the cube options [23:47] well i dont have login, adduser, or passwd anymore, so i'm not sure how i'm going to use my computer [23:47] Speaker219: http://edoceo.com/liber/ubuntu-live-usb [23:47] Hi [23:47] Stormx2 how do I do that?turn dma on?

[23:48] Does anyone know where keyboard shortcuts are stored in Gutsy? I just upgraded and now the keyboard shortcuts app doesn't actually affect the shortcuts at all. [23:48] let's just get one thing clear guys [23:48] the name of it is GUTSY, not GUSTY [23:48] I try to do a backup for my home/user and it doesn't work, using rsync. check this http://pastebin.com/m4a3f4867 - anyhelp would be appreciate, I try to backup them in my external HDD. [23:48] so get your system configged etc properly and then do that and yer damn golden [23:48] Anyone suggest a good bittorrent client? The Ubuntu default one is horribly unconfigurable.

[23:49] how do i go about doing something like a repair installation? [23:49] Hi all [23:49] So, now that Gutsy is released, how often can we expect updates--and should we expect these updates to add additional hardware support? [23:49] garu: it'll work on other versions... [23:49] can i do that without overwriting my data? [23:49] what is the problem with nvidia-glx it is extremely slow on my machine geforce go 7200 doesnt matter i run compiz or not. [23:49] i'm trying to turn my girlfriend to ubuntu [23:49] I ask because my hardware is pretty new, and is not really fully supported yet. [23:49] she'll be a hot chick that uses linux [23:49] i'm having problem during Gutsy installation... [23:49] cesar_: #ubuntu-offtopic please. [23:49] Stormx2 its ok, just finished erasing it...thanks ;) [23:49] numus: you can try sudo nvidia-xconfig then restart X [23:49] so anybody is well experienced in backuping the /home/username ? I try to do that for ages and always getting errors in both rsync & cp [23:49] it looks exactly the same as what I have [23:49] cesar_: there is an offtopic channel for that stuff.. this channel is crowded enough as it is [23:50] ubiquity freezes calling gparted [23:50] I am trying to run a portscan but nmap consistently hangs when running scans [23:50] justin__: Deluge is excellent ... download and install the latest at deluge-torrent.org ... version 5.5-2 [23:50] where are the transparency settings for compiz that's installed by default in 7.10 ? [23:50] well no one is listening to my problems [23:50] pwnt-: cp -av usually does it for me [23:50] Dumptruck, do a page refresh [23:50] Jordan_U: I installed the wizarpen driver the manual way like described in the wiki. Do I really report a bug then? [23:50] frank_ can i make the boardname nvidia in xorg.conf or should i keep it versa [23:50] does anyone have ever used a mix CD audio and data on ubuntu I can not see the tracks sound juicer dos not play it either see the tracks [23:50] err vesa [23:50] ubuntu is basically broken now, i have to back up everything and do a clean install :( [23:50] scquy318: well, testdisk is only if i had a backup :/ [23:50] where do i configure/see installed joysticks/joypads on gutsy? [23:50] another idea? === CroiX is now known as VousDeux [23:50] Stormx2: I try doing it to my external HDD. and i keep getting these errors in both cp & rsync,. http://pastebin.com/m4a3f4867 [23:50] cesar_: Your girlfriend using linux is not something that should be addressed here. [23:50] can anyone tell me what i need to install to have kde programs look like they did in feisty, they for some reason look really ugly in gutsy [23:50] cesar_: I didn't even see your question.. what was the problem? [23:50] hello [23:50] ok, chill [23:50] pwnt-: Try using sudo? ;) [23:50] sorry I did - still the same - sorry I don't mean to be such a bother [23:51] numus: the driver in the section device should be "nvidia" [23:51] Slart: the upgrade manager gets multiple errors, login, passwd, adduser, among many other programs cannot be installed [23:51] tass: well, I think that's really your only choice [23:51] frank_ the driver is but the board says vesa [23:51] I have just upgrade my 7.04 to 7.10 and i have lost the sound, any ideas_ [23:51] Dumptruck, do you see the 2 lines that start with "map"? [23:51] the program cannot access my disks...it seems strange as I can however navigate the file system in livecd environment [23:51] cesar_: are you using some kind of weird mirror? [23:51] Stormx2: I did, same :) [23:51] is pidgin not saving settings for anyone else? [23:51] no [23:51] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41236/ [23:51] tass: there is Rescubuntu [23:51] all i did was click on the update manager [23:51] Hello [23:51] I'm having problems connecting to a WPA network [23:52] and at the top it said that a new ubuntu was available, so iclicked on upgrade [23:52] also hello [23:52] cesar_: Any idea why? open a terminal and do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --assume-yes dist-upgrade" [23:52] frank_ i messed up my monitor settings though [23:52] where can I find a Pidgin log about a crash caused by my plugin? [23:52] t|om, I guess not, the wiki should be fixed or a bug report sent to the developer of the driver itself [23:52] numus: you mean the boardname? starnge [23:52] Can someone please help me to upgrade my graphics card drivers? [23:52] cesar_: please put the nick of the person you're addressing first on the line.. helps see your messages [23:52] lucita: go to volume preferences and make sure the correct driver is being used ... maybe it got switched over somehow [23:52] stormx2: its in the middle of updating right now, can i do that? [23:52] When i upgraded to 710 i no longer have a network icon in my gnome-panel ... so i have to manually configure my wireless settings in the shell to get access to it. Anyone know how to fix it [23:52] this is driving me insane: I upgraded to Gutsy yesterday and now I can't login to vsftpd using SSL: ls: Fatal error: gnutls_record_recv: A record packet with illegal version was received. [23:52] cesar_: probably not. Wait for your updates to finish. [23:52] brb frank_) going to restart then i have to leave for a little [23:52] thanks though [23:52] Dumptruck, you see them now http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41236/ [23:53] fant, Try running "nm-applet &" [23:53] fant: we could switch computers.. I'm having a hard time getting rid of that icon.. always keeps coming back =) [23:53] hmm. for the cube effect, how do i keep it from flip-flopping after i change desktops. is that called timestep? [23:53] any idea how to get an SD card reader working? [23:53] yes [23:53] K3nt: #ubuntu-effects please. [23:53] thank you [23:53] haha .. thanks [23:53] kk thanks [23:53] no suitable driver [23:53] this is under x86_64 [23:53] Dumptruck, you can also change root (hd1,0) to rootnoverify hd(1,0) [23:53] but it was working under 7.04 [23:53] Jordan_U: IK, I think the best way is reporting this to the Wiki author, thx [23:53] K3nt, Stormx2: I think ubuntu-effects has moved to #compiz-fusion.. there might be a redirect [23:54] what what? [23:54] I mean wait what [23:54] jordan_u: that just returns [1] 9616 in the shell but doesnt start it [23:54] is that a needed change? How do I write it? [23:54] lucita: maybe you need to enable certain option in order to adjust the volume .. sometimes they are turned down and must be manually increased [23:54] Dumptruck, try it like this and if it doesnt work we'll see... Just add the 2 lines I added [23:55] anybody: my network manager is discovering my WPA network, asking me for a password, and then not logging in [23:55] lucita: sometimes a reboot works if it's just a one time fluke [23:55] ok I'll be back in a moment [23:55] is there a way i can do a restore install without losing my files? [23:55] my edgy upgrade crashed 3/4 of the way through, and im afraid some things may not have installed right [23:55] pyrak: Make a backup of /home and reinstall. [23:55] pyrak: Ah, don't worry, that can be sorted out. Can you boot the system? [23:55] Ljl, Are you there? [23:55] storm2, yeah, im on it now [23:56] rebooted twice, the control volumen, the bars dont appear, looks like no card was recognised [23:56] storm2, i meant gutsy upgrade, by the way [23:56] My 7.10 Gusty download is at 95% :p excited [23:56] pyrak: Well, you should be able to resume the upgrade. [23:56] storm2, it says it's already upgraded [23:56] storm2, and i seem to have most of the features [23:56] pyrak: Well then, you'd better trust it :) [23:56] I am wondering if it's a good idea to update ubuntu 7.04 -> 7.10. Apparently there are still some bugs and several people have problems with this new version, no? [23:56] quodlibetor: without the wpa, does it work? [23:56] storm2, but when i boot up the screen is just brown [23:56] Jordan_U: did you get that message ? [23:56] bulmer. nope [23:56] I don't _really_ get the excitment about gutsy. I didn't notice anything significantly different until now... [23:56] almost, once [23:56] storm2, when it used to have the thing with the little icons and the bongoes playing [23:56] pyrak: To be sure, do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get --assume-yes dist-upgrade <--that will do any remaining upgrades [23:57] bulmer, but then it stopped [23:57] quodlibetor: then get the unencrypted version work first [23:57] Tchaka: if you don't need it right away I would wait a week or two.. let other people deal with the new problems.. update faqs etc etc [23:57] storm2, ok i'll try, thanks [23:57] Blama: yes [23:57] lucita: so you've right clicked on the volume applet in the panel and chosen preferences ... palyed around with them .. the opened up volume control and made sure nothing was set to mute or turned down ... then tested other preferences ... ?

[23:58] bulmer: that makes so much sense i feel like i've tried it, i'll brb if it doesn't start working [23:58] Slart, I think I will wait for one month, and then maybe I will update [23:58] anybody else suffering from slow internet connection on gusty? [23:58] hello [23:58] myusrnm: A file? ;D [23:58] i have a problem [23:58] Stormx2: myself, sorry if I'm not following an obscure protocol with it... [23:58] storm2, hm, it says i'm fine... [23:58] Blama: no. because i asked for the output of mount | grep "on / " . there is a space after the slash and before the quotation mark. [23:58] Anyone know how to make sure the nm-applet is starting with X ? [23:58] codecaine: nope, my internet is fine [23:58] storm2, how do you enable the neat cube thingey?

[23:59] Tchaka: sounds like a good plan.. as you said, there seems to be some problems.. but I'm sure they'll be sorted out in due time [23:59] LjL, this is hard because I have to boot out of windows and into Ubuntu, change the settings and then do it.. and I cant stay in it because I cant get internet on Ubuntu yet...
