[00:00] I have a laptop with a pcmcia cell phone data card, and a wifi connection...i'd like to bridge the 2 and make the laptop into an access point so it can go online through the cell card, and other laptops can connect to mine and use the network connection. Is this possible? [00:00] Slart, okay ;) [00:00] File libmp3lame.so found in liblame-dev [00:00] lucita: and your sound was working back in feisty? [00:00] Does anyone know where Gutsy stores it keyboard shortcuts file? I just upgraded and now the GUI doesn't seem to have any actual effect on the keyboard shortcuts... [00:00] yes, it did [00:00] !themes [00:00] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [00:00] once you have installed the compiz settings manager in gusty, how do you get to it?

[00:00] !helpme | espen [00:00] espen: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [00:01] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: System or by typing ccsm in a terminal [00:01] k1gwb: yes it should work [00:01] espen: you could try asking in #compiz-fusion .. that's where the bling bling people hang out [00:01] espen: what's the issue? [00:01] espen: or ask here.. see if you get a response [00:01] Tigerman: Right click on the panel you wish to add those buttons and click add to panel [00:01] k1gwb, I don't know about the wifi or cell wireless sides of the problem, but Firestarter / iptables can allow you to share the connections [00:01] Hi all. I would like to get back into programming for fun. I want to do some text processing and some a-life simulation, but I don't want to get as heavy as C. Any language/programming environment suggestions? [00:01] am i supposed to still just have the little "desktop effects" window for the spiffy new cube thing? [00:02] I'm having some weird issues with my resolution that I just can't seem to figure out [00:02] sound blaster live platinum, i mean emuk10k1 chipset , ct4760. it appears in the hardware information program [00:02] I try to cp file.tar.gz to/my/eternal/hdd however I got this output. [00:02] Dumptruck, not sure if i told you to run sudo grub-install hd0 before rebooting... [00:02] Ok, i cant change from "None" to "Normal" or "Extra" on the visual effects settings [00:02] dsnyders: python seems popular [00:02] org@nawaf:~$ cp org.tar.gz /media/disk/ [00:02] File size limit exceeded (core dumped) [00:02] Tigerman: then look around and see the desktop & windows area [00:02] Greetings, I'm not a seasoned IRC user, but I'm having problems with my desktop after upgrading to 7.10 today. After a successful upgrade, when I reboot and enter my logon name and password, I hear the drums and get the new wallpaper, but the application bar menu on the top of the screen won't drop down and I can't click on anything. I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and that didn't seem to make any difference. x does seem fine, [00:02] src: ok something different happened (which I think is good) I got a new error message: Following file is missing or corrupt: [00:02] does that means the file didn't copied properly? [00:02] no you didn't [00:02] hello all [00:02] espen: perhaps your computer isn't compatible with compiz [00:02] lavender_dream, i have lost them in the 'Quit...' window [00:02] Dumptruck: thats for me? [00:03] anyone having issues with firefox displaying the www.gamespot.com web site? [00:03] markt9, What about "killall gnome-panel" ? [00:03] I have managed to get my monitor chosen in the new screen app, and I can see my wanted resolution (1600x1200@75) in the dropdown [00:03] \system32\hal.dll [00:03] The "Visual Effects" settings doesnt have anything to do with compiz? Or am i wrong? [00:03] Hi, I've got a wrecked up dpkg status database, is there a way to rebuild it without a backup? [00:03] having some problems with gutsy and compiz, running with nvidia and keep getting black screens when I open new windows (seems to happen when alof of ram is being used) [00:03] please re-install a copy of the file above [00:03] Jordan, I can't even get to a terminal prompt [00:03] but when I try to set it it tells me all users must log off before changes can take effect [00:03] should I reconfigure gnome-panel? [00:03] src: ??? now I am confused [00:03] leprasmurf: a bug in the nvidia driver most likely [00:03] wolfmanz: works here.. ads and all =) [00:04] hey guys, upgrading to ubuntu 7.10 killed my compiz - now it wont start - is there any way to fix this? [00:04] well I guess more confused [00:04] markt9: Ctrl + Alt + F1? [00:04] kitche: know of a work around? [00:04] restart X, and 1600x1200 is no longer in the resolution list, closest thing I can see is 1600x1024 [00:04] The "Visual Effects" settings doesnt have anything to do with compiz? Or am i wrong? [00:04] ty 7.10 ? its not working 4 me - i have get this messege Floating point exception (core dumped) [00:04] can somebody help me please. I asked my question above few lines don't want to repeat [00:04] espen what do you see when u try to enable the desktop effects? [00:04] espen: I think you're wrong [00:04] has anything changed in gutsy in terms of games? [00:04] leprasmurf: install newer drivers since it probably the last version of nvidia which had that bug [00:04] kitche: k, thanks [00:04] Tigerman: whoa... you lose the restart/shutdown icons in the quit menu? sorry, that's beyond my scope... never had that issue before, try asking again here maybe someone will pick it up. [00:04] "Desktop effects could not be enabled" [00:04] espen: yes you only get the fancy effects with compiz ... [00:05] espen did u enable restricted drivers? [00:05] Dumptruck, that's probably from windows thinking it's still on the first disk... [00:05] No, i dont know what that is :S [00:05] Dumptruck, I don't know how to fix that :) [00:05] can't you run beryl without compiz though? [00:05] Jordan_U: at home i have two eth cards, and share the connection, it was very easy. i'm not sure how this would differ with having to make it an access point i guess?? the cell card is really a usb device [00:05] are there any applications I can download that will let me test 3d sound output from my soundcard? [00:05] espen: it comes with gutsy by default but only is activated if gutsy deems your computer compatible [00:05] -other than some game [00:05] lavender_dream, yeah that's a bugger, i knnow [00:05] !paste [00:05] 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) [00:05] espen click on System, then Administration, then in Restricted Drivers Manager [00:05] Tigerman: let's try to backtrack... what major changes have you done before you lost those buttons? [00:05] I cant activate my visual effects, is it because compiz have my graphiccard in blacklist? [00:06] Is there a way I could wipe out my whole package database and reinstall everything via internet? [00:06] does anyone know a lil about Bittornado or rTorrent? i need to create a torrent [00:06] lavender_dream, ii did somme settinngs [00:06] robj232323: there is no more beryl [00:06] slart is your menubar at the top in one piece where the pc and xbox360 and all that are or is that broke up into two menu bars one above the other? [00:06] ceed: get deluge-torrent. [00:06] schucks... can you point me to a place or person who might be able to help? [00:06] Fastn what do u see when u try to activate? [00:06] akaishi, Sort of, what are you trying to accomplish? [00:06] whats thatr [00:06] ceed: it's basically utorrent for linux if you've ever used utorrent [00:06] heartsblood: I don't know of anything that generates 3d sound.. but I'm sure there are THX-sound samples and such out there.. you could play those with.. say VLC or something [00:06] yea i did but im connecting tru ssh [00:06] Slart: didn't think about that, ty. [00:06] garu: It tells me, Desktop effects couldnt be enabled [00:07] ..oh..does anyone have the problem where videos won't play when using multiple desktops? [00:07] is there a fix [00:07] wolfmanz: I can send you a screenshot.. that way you can look and compare all you want [00:07] hey there im having some trouble with azureus, im getting this in the output : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41240/ help!! [00:07] ii'll figure it out [00:07] LjL, the output is "/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)" [00:07] Tigerman: did you change your theme settings before the problem? [00:07] Garu , i got this; "You have no Restricted Drivers" [00:07] I have a bad IDE cable that causes a bunch of data errors when I install from CD, basically I want to do a net install without owning an install server [00:07] espen: what kind of graphic card do you have? [00:07] hmm [00:07] ceed: ah term config seed? [00:07] Fastn did u enable restricted drivers? [00:07] quite interesting, alsamixer works in a shell [00:07] seamus7_ , i dont know v_v [00:07] Utter newbie: Does the dual monitor support work with anyone with 7.10 ? I'm using a live-cd, no installation on a hd partition yet [00:07] src: this is what I found... but I don't know what it will do to ubuntu (anything?) [00:07] heartsblood: no idea [00:07] slart can you send that on here? [00:07] http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/repairbootini.htm [00:07] Tigerman: try to set your theme settings in Appearance back to default temporarily... set everything to Human and let me know if you still have the problem. [00:07] ceed: I do know that deluge has some http/https configurations but i've never used them before. not sure about ssh [00:07] espen is your system up-to date? [00:07] newguy: you might have to ask the azeuras people about that [00:08] garu: were to? i have a intergrated videocard from the Intel 965 chipset [00:08] now where is that shiny new X config window that is prised in the news? i still get the old one in system->prefs and the news don't mention hot to start the new one [00:08] garu , i think so [00:08] ceed: as long as the host isn't behind a firewall you should be able to use your browser to make any changes you need [00:08] so if i have a sata hdd /dev/sda, and a ide hdd /dev/hda, would /dev/hda1 be (hd1,0) ? [00:08] espen do sudo apt-get update, and when its finished do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:08] wolfmanz: I'll put it on some picture sharing site [00:08] heartsblood: i dont think that client is allowed on the site im trying to upload torrents [00:08] cliechti: system>administration>screens and graphics [00:08] Dumptruck, try that. i guess you'd have to boot from the CD [00:08] slart ok send me the link [00:09] ceed: are you sure what your doing is legal? if bittorrent is acceptable, deluge should be as well. [00:09] garu: were to? i have a intergrated videocard from the Intel 965 chipset [00:09] garu , in the Terminal, right? [00:09] Fastn check if u have any restricted drivers, if u got for the graphics card, enable it.Its in System, Administration, and then Restricted Drivers manager [00:09] Dumptruck, but from grub's point of view it finds the windows boot loader as it should... [00:09] espen yes in the terminal [00:09] but there are other suggestions - http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/missinghaldll.htm [00:09] garu it says "password for espen:" [00:09] heartsblood: yes its legal and i just checked and its not due to ratio cheaters [00:09] LjL, the output is "/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)" [00:10] Blama[STOLZEN]: so you *can* save settings, generally speaking. i suspect that the problem with networking is network-manager, and possibly the problem with X is bulletproof-x... [00:10] garu: No, my card isnt there, only for intel wireless connection [00:10] lavender_dream, i have the same problem after changing the themes [00:10] ceed: then i'm afraid i'm no help. I've never configured bittorrent to superseed using the .config. [00:10] espen you have to enter your password :o...the one you use to login [00:10] what is the name of the package with the compiz setting manager? [00:10] heartsblood: my choice is bittornado or rtorrent, and i have both installed and i know how to use them, but i dont know how to create a torrent with either of them [00:10] wolfmanz: http://img164.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotgamespotvideool9.png [00:10] second... if I change the boot priority to the windows disc then change back after the repair... hypothetically everything should be proper... no? [00:10] garu , i cant enter anything! [00:10] Fastn is ur system up-to-date? [00:10] Cable86: ok, i have german menus. the closest thing translates into "screen resolution" and thats the old one. do i need to install something? i was using gutsy for months. but the system is up to date as of today [00:10] heartsblood: oh well thanks for help anyway will have to look for it some more [00:10] ceed: have you checked the bittornado wiki? === Greyhound_ is now known as Greyhound- [00:11] wolfmanz: that's without flash [00:11] ceed: If all you need to do is host a torrent you should be able to get that information off the wiki [00:11] Hi! Is Ubuntu 7.10 stable or is it still fresh? [00:11] Dumptruck, boot from windows cd as it is right now, go to recovery console (it will detect your windows installation) then after it's fixed, reboot [00:11] Cable86: i'm on AMD64 is the new one maybe not compatible? [00:11] thats what im doin now, but rtorrent first :p [00:11] lavender_dream, how is the 'Quit...' window called? [00:11] garu , i found out [00:11] espen yes you can...you wont see anything, its hidden, but its actually taking whatever you type, so, when it asks you for the password, enter your password and then click Enter [00:11] Wow wow. i had so much trash in my trashcan. I just emptied it and before i had 60G Used and only 7G Free. now after the empty trash I have only 30G Used, and 37G FREE! [00:11] I´ve downloaded the version 7.10 the same day i came out, have it been any updates after that? [00:11] slart ya thats how it should look on my screen that menu bar is split in half and i have this happen on 3 different computers so far [00:11] pwnt- FASCINATING [00:11] lavender_dream, i wanna google some forums for this [00:12] Dumptruck, if you change the boot order it'sgonna work 100% because the windows disk will become disk0 [00:12] garu , ok i did that [00:12] lavender_dream, i wanna google some forums on this [00:12] lavender_dream, how is the 'Quit...' window called? [00:12] Tigerman: that's scary... you'll have to use the terminal to shutdown then... the "quit" window is called well Quit Menu? [00:12] have to go, thanks everyone [00:12] bye [00:12] is it even possible to do a net install with no CD at all? [00:12] cliechti: hm, im not sure what it would translate into in german. but it sounds to me like you're looking in system>preferences. that's where my "screen resolution" menu item is. my "screens and graphics" window is in system>administration, make sure you look there rather than system>preferences. [00:12] Fastn then try this: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl! [00:12] Tigerman, google "Quit Menu" +Ubuntu for start [00:12] LjL, In the upper right it says nownetwork hardware detected. And if I open the Device Manager it closes right away and I cannot do anything. I also get a "Failed to initialize HAL error on startup" [00:12] Fastn that's how I got mine to work [00:12] ok [00:12] garu: Okey, i try [00:13] espen what happened after that? [00:13] anyone else have a problem with gparted since 7.04 upgrade to 7.10? [00:13] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: compizconfig-settings-manager [00:13] thanks [00:13] garu it downloaded some things at the first command you gave me, and downloaded none on the distro upgrade command [00:13] mine sits there scanning forever, doesn't find partitions [00:13] on a thinkpad the on-screen-display works for volume changes on the Gutsy live CD, and it worked in Feisty, but not in a Gutsy upgrade! any ideas? [00:13] why would my trash hold like 30GIG ??? [00:13] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: awesome nick [00:14] espen ok then, do this: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl [00:14] Gutsy seems to really be in a real Beta stage [00:14] pwnt-: cause you moved 30gigs there? === ia1 is now known as ian1 [00:14] How can I change the default directory in F-Spot? Not just where newly imported images are put, but actually change the location of all the currently imported photos. [00:14] pwnt-, Because you put 30 GIG of files in it ? [00:14] Cable86: then something seems to be missing here. all i find there that is GUI related is the gdm config. [00:14] espen when its finished, restart the computer [00:14] howdy guys! [00:14] Has anyone tested 7.10 on Inspiron 6400? [00:14] garu: i wrote "apt-get install xserver-xgl" but i couldnt find the package it said [00:14] if I could get my package system working right I could reinstall firefox and google for my answers :/ [00:14] when i delete something, it goes there by default? [00:14] OiPenguin: I'm in the process right now [00:15] garu, should it work now? [00:15] i have 7.10 on an inspiron 8100, works fine [00:15] Jordan_U: :* [00:15] OiPenguin: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellInspiron6400 [00:15] Okay, everybody stop trying to download Gutsy! I'm trying to get some updates done here! [00:15] Rob125: you can download the CD and set it as an update source [00:15] Fastn if your system is up-to-date, it should work :o [00:15] damn [00:15] cliechti: hm, thats interesting. what is right after the restricted manager menu item? [00:15] espen did u see anything being installed? [00:15] garu yes [00:15] does someone know how to put this ubuntu alternate iso i downloaded onto a 4gb usb flash disk and install from it? i'm out of cd-r's :( [00:16] Tigerman, also try "Shut Down menu" [00:16] a lot of gnome lovers [00:16] xD [00:16] slart any idea what would cut that menubar in half like that? [00:16] vraa: I've been on gutsy for about a month now -- I'm just trying to get some updates to other programs done ;) [00:16] garu: well my system is up-to-date i think [00:16] Can anyone help me with this error when I login? "Internal error failed to initialize HAL!" [00:16] Rob125: oh nice, i haven't tried gutsy yet, i finally got my computer booting [00:16] OFF-TOPIC IRC NOOB QUESTION: How do you send a private message? [00:16] is there any updates in these two days? [00:16] speaker219: Where I live, in Norway, I can choose between Celeron M, T2080 or T2130 processor. Which one do you have? [00:16] hello, how can i get the restricted ati drivers to work with the newest release? [00:16] hahaha i'm such an idiot [00:16] HOLOGRAPHICpizza: /msg nickname message - no need to shout [00:16] Rob125: try using a local mirror.. or you have to work on your threats a bit more.. I don't think your scaring the crowd enough ;) [00:16] lavender_dream, i fixed it now [00:16] espen now, just before doing the restart, install the compiz configuration manager.Click on Applications, then Add/Remove Programs! [00:16] OiPenguin: T130 I think [00:17] I had no updates in the past 4days, should i be worried? [00:17] 2130* [00:17] Fastn u might as well make sure of that :o [00:17] src: so then I don't want to change the boot priority? [00:17] T2130* gah [00:17] garu: with apt-get update? [00:17] Dumptruck, no. [00:17] pwnt-: are you on the gutsy pre-release? [00:17] Slart: Well, there's 1332 of you here. If I get just one of you to stop, then I'll be.. well, sad, I guess, because I love ubuntu. (But I am using ubuntu-ca mirrors, yes). [00:17] wolfmanz: the web is a weird thing... webreaders can do so many weird things that I've stopped trying to understand it all [00:17] garu: or apt-get dist-update? [00:17] ah ha [00:17] Cable86: that starts with a "v" in the translation and is the very last line [00:17] Vlet: yeah [00:17] ok [00:17] Fastn sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [00:17] pwnt-: that's probably why. it's not maintained [00:17] I think I am just going to redo the boot.ini in windows [00:18] Vlet: whenever I try to update. it shows nothing in my update list. It thinks i'm up-to-date :) [00:18] from the windows install disc [00:18] I cannot get the restricted ati graphics driver to load with the manager it says xorg-driver-fglrx is not enabled. How can I enable it? [00:18] Vlet: what should I do then. [00:18] vraa: Can you interpret https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellInspiron6400 for me. I find it really hard to find a laptop with no issues. [00:18] pwnt-: you could upgrade, but I've heard people saying that it doesn't always go so well [00:18] hi, i have a problem that my fonts are looking ugly after upgrade to gutsy [00:18] Dumptruck, as you wish. I really don't know how windows handles this kind of stuff. it might work [00:18] cliechti: bah, darn translations :-P i'm not sure what to tell you then unfortunately :-( [00:18] in both kde and gnome [00:18] thanks src for all of your help... [00:18] OiPenguin: are you ordering a new laptop? [00:18] what's the difference between the gutsy server image and the others? less packages? [00:18] np [00:18] pwnt-: if you can, it's best to just backup your stuff and install gutsy clean [00:18] Vlet: so a backup of my home/user then get a new .iso burn it and fresh install, is that what you think i should do? [00:18] Guys.. i need some help here.. my friend has no cable network only his broadcom wireless.. he sees the driver in the restricted driver manager..but he cant ofc download it :/ is there some way i can find this driver and just send him the package(while he uses xp) ? [00:18] Surb: no interface [00:18] garu , is that the "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings"? I had that installed from before [00:18] Surb: gutsy server has no gui (no gnome or kde or anything) [00:18] Vlet: Okay. that what I'm going to do :) [00:18] guess nobody knows how to help me with this problem :( [00:19] Please guys i have a problem with the disable tabs of the compiz settings manager [00:19] ah, okay. [00:19] pwnt-: yeah, you'll likely be happier with the results [00:19] OiPenguin: if you check the links, it says that all issues with this laptop have been resolved. so that means with little or no effort, ubuntu will work fine :) [00:19] espen oh, ok then, then do the restart then :) [00:19] Tigerman: how did you fix it? [00:19] if you are ever in Bratislava I'll buy you a beer [00:19] vraa: Yes. I'd like to do it tonight, but I'm starting to think that I should wait a bit further to allow people to test Gutsy properly. The one I've borrowed is shitty, though. [00:19] third problem... [00:19] !language | OiPenguin [00:19] OiPenguin: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. [00:20] nancy_69: what do you mean? [00:20] garu , can i ask, what does the thing i installed do? THe xgl or something? :P [00:20] Vlet: in the installation will it take me to a GUI to install gutsy? or will it take me to a terminal where I have to do "sudo apt-get install desktop" ? [00:20] dvayanu: system->prefs->appearance, fonts tab, play around with the rendering selections [00:20] vraa: No need to wait, in other word. (Sorry about the language) [00:20] Guys.. i need some help here.. my friend has no cable network only his broadcom wireless.. he sees the driver in the restricted driver manager..but he cant ofc download it :/ is there some way i can find this driver and just send him the package(while he uses xp) ? [00:20] have anyone fixed the splash in gutsy where you cant change the color? its always set on beige. [00:20] OiPenguin: if you're unsure, you can always download now and install later :) [00:20] No problem OiPenguin :) [00:20] I'm having trouble with my CD burning software, does anyone know of something free on the windows side so I can burn the image I quite windows cold-turkey (: [00:20] hi everyone [00:20] Yeah [00:20] dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 18767 package `libnautilus-burn3': `Conflicts' field, invalid package name `nautilus/cd-burner': character `/' not allowed - only letters, digits and -+._ allowed [00:20] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) [00:20] addicted68098: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm [00:20] addicted68098: infrarecorder, gpl [00:21] garu: I had it up-to-date [00:21] how do I install something that is not in the add/files... from a tar ball... I read the readme and it seems very confusing [00:21] pwnt-: the regular cd has the nice gui. It's if you install the server distro that you have to install the gui manually [00:21] seamus7_ i open the manager and it doesnt let me choose anything [00:21] garu , can i ask, what does the thing i installed do? THe xgl or something? :P [00:21] Dumptruck, is it source code? [00:21] Dumptruck, what is it you are trying to install? You will have some learning to do to install stuff from source. [00:21] anyone know of a firewall gui for ubunut? [00:21] this all seems a bit over my head http://forum.sopcast.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8631 [00:21] espen xserver-xgl!as far as I know, it will install xgl, on your system. without it, you will not be able to get the effects, it will tell you that the composite extention is not available!but now that u did, it should be fine [00:21] garu: But does it have anything to do with compiz, because my card is in the blacklist of compiz [00:21] does anyone know of anything similar to ultrasurf 8 for ubuntu? [00:21] !firewall [00:21] 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). [00:21] I am trying to install Sopcast [00:21] Guys.. i need some help here.. my friend has no cable network only his broadcom wireless.. he sees the driver in the restricted driver manager..but he cant ofc download it :/ is there some way i can find this driver and just send him the package(while he uses xp) ? [00:21] ty [00:21] Cable86: do you know the package name? i just browsed the not installed packages in base, gnome and system section but i did not find an uninstalled package that could be it [00:22] vraa: I've got an 7.10 on an old Fujitsu Siemens, but it's almost unbearable. I need to buy a machine before testing. But, if I understand you right, there's no need to hesitate buying 6400? [00:22] garu, ok thanks! I'll get back on if it dont work [00:22] hello, if I customize the livecd(add new packages to it) will the new packages be installed too(when I'll do an hd install) or there's something else I should do? (I found docs from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization ) [00:22] !sopcast [00:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about sopcast - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:22] OiPenguin: if you haven't bought a machine yet, why not buy from system76.com or buy from the dell opensource collection ? [00:22] Fastn its in the blacklist of compiz?I didnt even know that existed :o!In that case my friend, I can't help you :o [00:22] that will promise compatibility [00:22] espen oki doki [00:22] akaishi: ouch. make a copy of that file, and edit it to nautilus-cdburner [00:22] Dumptruck, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258049 [00:22] If I install the package subversion, do I get both client and server then?

[00:23] If I install the package subversion, do I get both client and server then? I just want a client [00:23] generalsnus: yes, do just that - ask him what the package is called, find the deb for it online, and get it for him [00:23] how do i turn on compiz? [00:23] garu: when i run "compiz --replace" i get blacklisted PCIID" [00:23] Fastn what's your graphics driver? [00:23] rstanca: no [00:24] is compiz-fusion installed with Gutsy ? [00:24] witless enable the desktop effects [00:24] cliechti: let me see if i can find it [00:24] garu: i just ran compiz and got "blacklisted pciid"... [00:24] nancy69: which manager are you speaking .... Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [00:24] wycked: yes it is [00:24] wycked yep.but u have to enable the desktop effects! [00:24] garu: Intel 695 chipset [00:24] Vlet: thats the problem..i dont know what package it is..other than that its a driver for bcm43xx [00:25] Did something change with how Xinerama is set in xorg.conf? I'm using the same config file and hardware, and with 7.10 xinerama is not working. Ideas? [00:25] If I install the package subversion, do I get both client and server then? I just want a client [00:25] garu, yes effects are nabled [00:25] how long is the estimated time on the main repos being owned by downloaders? [00:25] Fastn are those numbers right?isnt it Intel 965 GM? [00:25] cliechti: looks like the package is called "displayconfig-gtk" [00:25] src, sopcast .801 doesn't work on Ubuntu without severe tweaking.... is there anyinfo on 1.0.2? [00:25] wirechief: no as in the new packages will not be installed, right? [00:25] wycked do you get wobbly windows? [00:25] i don't have a desktop effects menu option [00:25] Jimdb, great, but now how can I modify parameters of compiz now ? [00:25] garu: let me check [00:25] rstanca: that is correct, you need to install to save [00:25] Also I have good deal of music mounted off of the main drive, will the installer allow me to save it? thanks a bunch [00:25] wycked u have to install compiz configuration manager [00:25] you should go into synaptic package manager and download the configuration tool. [00:26] !ccsm [00:26] 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 [00:26] Jimdb, garu, just it ?

[00:26] wycked: install the package "compizconfig-settings-manager" [00:26] having a problem upgrading to bison, can't fetch 3 files any help? [00:26] garu: yes its Gm [00:26] what's the media player of choice for gnome? [00:26] okay thank you Cable86 garu Jimdb :) [00:26] If I install the package subversion, do I get both client and server then? I just want a client [00:26] gutsy is nice so far, but unfortunately i don't have any sound [00:26] juanbond: Media Player on the menu :) (its rhythmbox) [00:26] Cable86: yep that exists and is not (yet) installed [00:26] wirechief: I don't think you understood my question, thanks anyway [00:26] juanbond, rhythmbox or banshee if you like mono [00:26] on http://forum.sopcast.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=8631 I get lost on step 2 [00:27] wycked yep...open the Add/Remove Programs, click on Show all available applications and search for compiz, then install the ccsm! [00:27] when I installed [00:27] cliechti: install away and see if that's what you're looking for, and let me know if i was correct :-) [00:27] Gambaroni: svn is only one package. the server "isn't that big" and it isn't started [00:27] does anyone know of anything similar to ultrasurf 8 for ubuntu? [00:27] does anybody know if there are any fish clients for OSX? [00:27] anyone heard of ultrasurf 8? [00:27] nickrud: just wondering if there was anything better that people used. [00:27] CarlF1 ok [00:27] thanks! [00:27] Gambaroni: I had the same 'issue' :) [00:27] juanbond: Exaile is great in Gnome ... but so is Amarok [00:27] good thing I made a copy, that caused all heck to break loose in synaptic [00:27] garu: It was Intel 695GM chipset [00:28] when i installed 7.10, the internet connection did not work right at first and it ended up disabling the update server (secure one) how can i make it so I have the secure server again? [00:28] CarlF1 :).. So no svn server would be set up automatically? [00:28] Fastn one of my lappies is a toshiba, I got the Intel 965GM graphics card, and I'v never had any problems with compiz...never heard of it blacklisting that! [00:28] Cable86: installed "bildschirme und grafik" which translates fine into english, and it looks fine. is that accidently not a dependency of the gnome-desktop package? (bug) [00:28] I can't install anything right now [00:28] can anyone help me with my wifi? [00:28] none of the packages work [00:28] Fastn oh, if its 695GM then, I dont know what to do! [00:28] juanbond: there's banshee, muine, exaile, bmp [00:28] Aah, it's been over a day and tracker is still indexing, anyone know what's goingon? [00:28] is there a graphical interface for apache2 configuration? [00:28] when i download all these things i get a lot of RAR files and when i extract them i have no idea what to do with them [00:28] cliechti: im not sure how it wasn't installed for you, i installed gutsy from scratch and it was installed by default, definitely strange [00:29] caner: In most places you'd be shot for asking that. [00:29] caner: webmin is a decent one, if you can find it. [00:29] Gambaroni: right. you would have to manually start it [00:29] ok [00:29] ty [00:29] anyone know of a good pcmcia sound card that works in ubuntu? [00:29] so I guess my root question is how do I become a ninja with Ubuntu? [00:29] caner: Any graphical config worth anything would be more or less a glorified text editor. [00:29] thank you for not shooting me [00:29] can anyone tell me why my wifi card wont work, even though ubuntu detects it? [00:29] garu: I know :/ its sad, but i need to wait for the intel driver to fix, here is the full name of my family: Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family [00:30] Dumptruck: just like a ninja, practice, fall down, get up, practice, fall down :) [00:30] does anyone know why the installer for bison can't find three packages [00:30] hrmm. why would editing a file cause it to become unreadable? [00:30] Can someone help me enable the graphics driver? I cant get it work [00:30] Hi. I read that in gusty is fixed nvidia driver (that doesn't cause out of mem bug). However I still see black windows :(. [00:30] Dumptruck: Sharpen live CDs into shurikens, and yield ps2 cables as whips. [00:30] mrfantastic have you configured it and gave it your essid ? [00:30] i ve recently discovered mysql administrator. thats why i asked [00:30] wield* [00:30] Rob125: you win. [00:30] hi. how can i install beryl in 7.10 with nvidia? [00:30] Hi, just installed gutsy, and when I click the quit button I have no shutdown on reboot? [00:30] G965 is blacklisted? didn't intel release the technical info for that chip? [00:30] 3 files not found on bison upgrade, any help? [00:31] noelferreira: you don't want to install beryl, as it is no longer maintained....7.10 comes with compiz fusion by default [00:31] Can someone help me enable the ATI graphics driver? I cant get it work.. [00:31] Do I need to manually update nvidia driver? [00:31] garu , hey again [00:31] Fastn humn...that's pretty bad :o..sorry about that :o [00:31] Cable86: can you give me an howto to install it? [00:31] It's been about 2 days and tracker is still indexing, anyone know what's going on? running Ubuntu 7.10 by the way [00:31] My hardware is pretty new and is not yet fully supported by Gutsy. Can I expect additional hardware support to be included in future updates for Gutsy, or should I pursue Hardy? [00:31] Joikast enable the restricted drivers [00:31] !compiz [00:31] espen hey there [00:31] 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 [00:31] garu now everything is lagging [00:32] espen lagging? :s [00:32] garu: Well do you know were i can get any information about when a new release get out or so? [00:32] installed gutsy's nvidia, but direct rendering: No - is that expected ? [00:32] Cable86: anyway, thanks. i made some changes and will see if they actually work on next login :-) [00:32] And my keyboard is english (Its usually norwegian) [00:32] VousDeux: What isn't supported? [00:32] cliechti: sure thing :-) [00:32] garu yeah [00:32] noelferreira why beryl when u can have compiz fusion? [00:32] Fastn humn...no idea :o!sorry [00:32] I'm trying to stop the network manager from loading in Gutsy, every time I uncheck the option it resets on the next logon [00:33] The video, the touch pad, HAL...a bunch of stuff. [00:33] garu: Okey, thx anyway [00:33] Anyone at all know how long Tracker should take to index? [00:33] espen what u just did, was supposed to fiz everything :o!lol [00:33] noelferreira: it's already installed in 7.10 [00:33] VousDeux: What hardware? (whats not supported) [00:33] espen fix [00:33] gary it surely didnt [00:33] noelferreira: but if you want to configure it more, install the package "compizconfig-settings-manager" [00:33] does ndis still work for 7.10 or is it not needed any more [00:33] garu though the effects are working now [00:33] Guys, I still see black windows with compiz on ubuntu [00:34] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41245/ - what does this mean? [00:34] espen how r ur pc specs?RAM and Graphics? [00:34] garu ,my ram is 1 gig [00:34] Flannel: Nvidia 8500GT only works in 1600x1050, touch pad doesn't work right, HAL has problems with power managment...other stuff too [00:34] I's really bad, I just want a small amount of its features, but that black windows disrupts me [00:35] I would like to repost on the thread I found so that I might help others who have this problem [00:35] I wouldn't expect support for that to be backported to Gutsy. You're best bet is to keep an eye on kernel developments and file bug reports trying to get support for your hardware added in. [00:35] garu i dont know about my graphics, cause i dont know what kind of graphic card i have [00:35] Flannel: I've been working on this stuff since August in #ubuntu+1, and I've filed several bug reports. [00:36] VousDeux: Depending on the reasons, it'll vary. If its bugs, they can (theoretically) be fixed, if its kernel support, you'll have to wait for the kernel version in ubuntu to catch up. [00:36] espen try lspci [00:36] VousDeux: But this is kernel development stuff, not Ubuntu stuff. Filing bugs against ubuntu wouldn't do anything. [00:36] my internet connection is sooooooooooooooooo slow [00:36] garu what_ [00:36] ? [00:36] What flannel said [00:36] Flannel: much of my problems have to do with the x86_64 too [00:36] Are there any official torrents? [00:36] garu anywayz, if u got 1 gig of ram, I would assume ur graphics arent that bad either, it should run fine [00:36] is it gutsy or my isp? [00:36] espen at the terminal lspci [00:36] Ok [00:37] facugaich: There are. What torrent are you looking for? [00:37] Flannel, ArthurArchnix: so, will these kernel updates apply to Gutsy then? [00:37] Flannel: Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop [00:37] Hi, i upgraded to Gusty from Fiesty. Upgrade went OK, however there is not compiz and when i do, glxinfo | grep direct, it returns NO. I have Nvidia 8600GT and it was working fine on Fiesty. I have installed the most recent Nvidia driver from Nvidia site but that does not make any difference. Help please. [00:37] do sound drivers come with ubuntu? [00:37] facugaich, http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ [00:37] garu ok i did it [00:37] facugaich: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ theyre all in there [00:37] espen now check what graphics do u have [00:38] garu adeon 9200 PRO [00:38] is there anything better than pidgin for msging? [00:38] VousDeux: Kernel updates (fixes) will, kernel versions (which is where a lot of the new hardware comes in) wont. Gutsy will always have 2.6.22 [00:38] !msn [00:38] Instant Messenger Clients: Gaim (GNOME, http://help.ubuntu.com/community/GaimHowto), Kopete (KDE), both supporting MSN, Jabber, AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and IRC. [00:38] hi all [00:38] is my loopback config correct in ubuntu 7.10 http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/5906/loopbacktx1.jpg [00:38] is there a gnome katapult? [00:38] how can I install pangocario package in ubuntu? [00:38] espen ur graphics r way better than mine!lol [00:38] Flannel: Oh, thanks, they are kinda hidden [00:38] VousDeux: Kernel updates tend to only patch issues, not add support for new hardware. I fear you're going to have to learn how to build and compile a kernel from source. You're either going to have to force Gutsy to use the lateest kernels from kernel.org, and file bug reports against it. [00:39] ghatak_mobile: I had the same problem with my 8800.. I had to go back to my old xorg.conf and do lots of other things before I could run compiz again.. the failsafe mode didn't work for me.. [00:39] Again, what flannel said. :P [00:39] garu they are? [00:39] ArthurArchnix: yeah, we've gotta stop stealing each others fire [00:39] garu how come im lagging? [00:39] easy question to some of you, is it possible to browse the 'net as just text via the terminal? :) if so how? [00:39] does ubuntu come packaged with a firewall? [00:39] Flannel: ahhh...so if I want my hardware to work, I will need Hardy and I will have to submit bug reports to kernel team? [00:39] espen yep...no idea... [00:39] lavender_dream: lynx or elinks [00:39] lavender_dream: lynx is a text only browser [00:39] You're always first. But my fingers are fat soo... there's that too. [00:39] lavender_dream: sure. Theres a bunch of terminal clients, type 'www-browser' in the terminal, and you'll get one (depending on whats default on your system) [00:39] sup guys [00:39] Anyone know what this info reported in dmesg is about: [00:39] 13.940000] attempt to access beyond end of device [00:39] [ 13.940000] sda: rw=0, want=1172134530, limit=586072368 [00:40] espen the effects only work well in my graphics card in 2 linux distros.lol [00:40] garu maybe i need the drivers_ [00:40] Slart: Hmm... What exactly did you do to get it back,? [00:40] lavender_dream, theres also some way to get some basic graphics in the console with those browsers. [00:40] isent it elinks -g ? [00:40] can anyone direct me to someone or a guide for wifi on 7.10...i upgraded through the software updater in 7.04 if that helps [00:40] VousDeux: Bug reports to the kernel team will help, especially if its not already supported. I know I'm waiting for 8.04 for some HW on my thinkpad. [00:40] jmg, Slart: thanks, will look into that, I just want to see if I can browse the 'net just in text INSIDE the terminal if that makes any sense, very new to this [00:40] Hey [00:41] lavender_dream: A full desktop experience is more or less available from the terminal, yes. [00:41] any wow users here? [00:41] K3nt: Messaging on any particular network? [00:41] Flannel: that's cool :) [00:41] i lost my X session during install, now when my machine boots, i can't log into the console at all. i enter my login name and it says "login incorrect" without even asking me for my password... [00:41] ghatak_mobile: I wish I know.. I copied my old xorg.conf (it's backed up.. check for filenames like xorg.conf.200710101452 or similar).. I reinstalled the binary driver from nvidias site.. I did a lot of smaller stuff I got from googling then all of a sudden it all worked again [00:41] K3nt: Otherwise I recommend Jabber, and use Gajim for a client [00:41] witless: at GRUB, try selecting the recovery console [00:41] witless: Is your capslock or numlock on? [00:41] anyone here use wubi? [00:41] Flannel: thanks, i'll try that. ArthurArchnix: no [00:41] MattJ: i just wanted something that supported offline users. msn preferably [00:41] Display Info: [1024x768 32bit 75Hz] ::: Monitor: [Plug and Play Monitor] [00:42] newbie: anyone has any suggestion on how to make 7.10 work with dual monitors? The System > Admin > Screen & Graphics does not take the 2nd monitor's settings... is it because I'm on a live-cd of U7.10? [00:42] sorry [00:42] lavender_dream: that's what lynx and elinks does.. text mode browser you can run in a terminal [00:42] witless: If it works, you'll get a root shell, from which you can try and sort stuff out (its single user mode) [00:42] Flannel: ok [00:42] Flannel: sorry, I new to all of this new hardware support stuff...if I work with the kernel team, can I apply the new kernel to the Gutsy distro I installed, or will I need a whole new distro? [00:42] Slart: was it all to do with xorg.conf ? [00:42] K3nt: Jabber does, and it is open (not controlled by Microsoft), if you have the option, try it out [00:42] Fasm1, I already tried here, but dont worked [00:42] when I install Gutsy and hit the restrcted modules program to enable my gfx card drivers, is their any benifit to the nvidia driver installed with envy, and will it break it if I reinstall with that? [00:43] Flannel: that www.browser tip you just gave me... THAT'S REALLY COOL! :) it's quaint, I love it [00:43] airtonarantes: I was so waiting for 7.10 for the dual monitor thing [00:43] !envy [00:43] 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! [00:43] Flannel: err.. www-browser I meant [00:43] VousDeux: You can compile a newer kernel yes. Although its technically not 'supported' [00:43] can anyone help me with gutsy? [00:43] ubuntu nvidia drivers suck [00:43] lol [00:43] Slart: thank you very much, i'll look into that as well. [00:43] whts wrong with this rabiddog? [00:43] Fasm1, Well, work, but the screen is configured with resolution 640x580 [00:43] VousDeux: Ubuntu is linux just like any other, you can do anything you want with it. The only limit is how dirty you want to get your hands. [00:44] WKTV|Archive, alot of work needs to be done on the installation script [00:44] ghatak_mobile: well.. one thing was that X used the file xorg.conf.failsafe instead of xorg.conf . I don't know how that got fixed.. perhaps by running the "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver".. perhaps by reinstalling drivers.. I wish I knew more precisely [00:44] airtonarantes: hmmm... I didn't try any lower resolutions, but I wouldn't want to use the 2nd monitor with lower resolutions [00:44] Flannel: I see...thank you...my main concern is hardware support before Ubuntu support, once I have all of the hardware working I can worry about other stuff. === WKTV|Archive is now known as zakman [00:44] how do i setup my video resolutions [00:44] how do you change a hard drive designation from /hda-1 to /hda1? [00:44] warbler, I havn't had anyproblems with it in the past but warning heeded, leaving it alone heh [00:44] VousDeux: the ubuntu kernel has basically everything enabled [00:44] Fasm1, yes, of course. nor me [00:44] Slart: Ok i will dig around thanks [00:44] when is ubntu going to use the new 2.6.23? [00:45] VousDeux: you might try some of the other distros that keep up to date with stuff, see if the HW works there (so yo uknow its the kernels deficiency and not an issue with your compile or whatnot) [00:45] officially [00:45] like not pick the one i want to use but add them to that list of ones i can use [00:45] zakman: Hardy, if not a later kernel [00:45] js_: my hardware was too new to be included in the Gutsy support [00:45] Hardy ;o [00:45] why so long? [00:45] Wipster: it is the official line - never needed it myself [00:45] not even like a apt-get upgrade? sorta thing? [00:45] i have a fiesty laptop im trying to bring up a usb drive with thats plugged into a gutsy desktop. I have opened shared folders on the desktop, installed nfs, and added the laptops IP address to the usb drives available connections, but i dont see it on the network still? what am i missing [00:45] Where is the best place to find video drivers? [00:45] garu now i cant even switch back to norwegian keyboard [00:45] Fasm1, but with a time I guess that you can [00:45] zakman: Because ubuntu is a time based release, which means major versions for things get frozen per release [00:45] I need one for a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 [00:46] zakman, compile your own kernel :) [00:46] Did something change with how Xinerama is set in xorg.conf? I'm using the same config file and hardware, and with 7.10 xinerama is not working. Ideas? [00:46] i guess. i dont like to though. [00:46] VousDeux: that way at least you'll know what versions you need to use (or what bug reports you need to file) [00:46] can any wow users help me with it in ubuntu? i have wine [00:46] warbler, I got tird of all the steps with my ati card back in the day, hence looking for an easier option [00:46] Fasm1, Gutsy least is rather than Feisty [00:46] too much effect then when its in the official repo [00:46] or even anybody that knows what to do lol [00:46] Tortured, you wont see nfs on the networks thingy for some reason...i think it's cus nfs isn't a browse-able protocol [00:46] K3nt: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [00:46] k3nt, i'm playing now [00:46] how do i setup xorg?? [00:46] Flannel: did all that [00:46] heyhey! Can anyone help me out with gutsy? [00:46] why isnt my soundcard being detected? [00:46] anyone use wubi? [00:47] FLSimpsonKPT: If you ask a question, they can but try :) [00:47] nivekc1, you need to setup xorg in ubuntu? [00:47] bluefox83, really .. boy that stinks .. so is there a network i can use thats browse-able? [00:47] TravisAlaKing: do you remember what guide you followed? or maybe you just know what to do? [00:47] Flannel: Such as Hardy? or are you suggesting a completely different distro like Kanotix? [00:47] Wipster: ati needs better support - I here that is being worked on... - be nice for christmas! [00:47] hello [00:47] I used the link that was posted above. [00:47] hmm [00:47] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft [00:47] bleubeard: im trying to setup my PC with a widescreen resolution but i dont have any in the list i need to go in and add them to the ones i can use [00:47] 1316 online right now, kinda crazy [00:47] wow [00:48] VousDeux: You might consider running Sid. [00:48] Tortured, samba. but really once you mount the nfs share you can browse it with your file browser...it just wont show up in Places->network [00:48] maybe i should go google [00:48] i wanna know how can i remove the icons from the desktop the partitions [00:48] did you run into any problems? like when you select your character and you go to connect but it goes black and white and closes? [00:48] Hi , i've installed W3 but battlenet doesn't work "connection to battlenet" .. any idea ? [00:48] How can i get my update manager to work again? When I installed gutsy it didn't automatically configure my Internet so it disabled the secure download server making it impossible for me to update. how can i fix this? [00:48] hmm [00:48] Fasm1, I'll go to try here, if you wonder to know, send me a email to airton.arantes@gmail.com [00:48] Anybody know how to switch from Gnash to Adobe Flash? [00:48] bluefox83, ive got to mount the nfs via commandline? [00:48] in gutsy [00:48] i tried many things [00:48] Tortured, yeah... [00:49] twightlight: 2 ways, one if you don't want any volumes on desktop you can disable the feature in gconf (bear in mind your ipod, cd rom etc won't show up when plugged in). Second is to change the mount point. [00:49] Tortured, you also need to define the directories you want to be shared in a config file... [00:49] thanks [00:49] VousDeux: Right. Hardy wont be out in any usable form for months at least. And then it'll be unstable as hell. Try some rolling release distro (one that updates all the time) to see if the newer versions work or not [00:49] hi!? [00:49] Can someone help me to get my keyboard language back to norwegian? [00:49] FLSimpsonKPT: Do you get a particular error message? [00:49] k3nt, I didn't have any problems like that. What kind of graphics card are you using? [00:49] garu: i have a little problem, in windows i have the sound volume on 50% and have clear sound, in linux i dont hear much on 50% , i need atleast 80% to get good volume, whats wrong? [00:49] just installed 7.10 and xchat and never wanted to join this channel :O [00:50] TravisAlaKing: Nvidia 8400 GSM [00:50] does anybody have a moment for some troubleshooting [00:50] Are you using the restricted driver or the free driver? [00:50] gconf? where is this thing [00:50] what's the problem with that, Fastn? [00:50] MattJ: it was during the installation. I went and clicked through it quickly :\ [00:50] espen: settings->preferences->keyboards. [00:50] D2006: Do you need help finding the door then? [00:50] how can i change the behavior of alt-right mouse button? [00:50] Flannel: I would prefer to stick with something Debian-based...perhaps I will have a look at that Sid as suggested by ArthurArchnix . [00:50] hi all [00:51] Rob125 ye si know but when i set it as my choice it just desappears [00:51] guys [00:51] twighlight: from terminal, do gconf-editor [00:51] not really. just my first use of xchat. used to use (:)) mIRC on windows [00:51] ok [00:51] FLSimpsonKPT: Try looking in System->Administration->Software Sources [00:51] then browse to apps, nautilus, desktop [00:51] VousDeux: Debian would work fine, yeah. Try testing, then if that doesnt work, try unstable. [00:51] D2006: i dont get why i need the volume on max to get volume thats standard [00:51] uncheck show mounted voumes [00:51] how do i get my soundcard to work [00:51] Flannel: however, I've gotten kind of attached to Ubuntu :/ [00:51] ah now i remember [00:51] D2006: i could be enough with 20% or 50% of the volume [00:51] Anyone else have problems with fire fox using ALOT of cpu? [00:51] I look at the CPU monitor when I close firefox and it goes from like 50% to 5 [00:51] i have already activated this in the menu [00:51] Hi , i've installed W3 but battlenet doesn't work "connection to battlenet" .. any idea ? [00:51] how do i open the gnome configuration editor? [00:51] VousDeux: well, you don't have to do it on a permanant basis. Right now you just want to find out what kernel version supports your hardware (if any) [00:51] W3? [00:51] jonfish: depends what pages are open (Flash?) [00:52] guys when I do alsamixer in the terminal come this alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device [00:52] i have just switched from pclinuxos [00:52] w3 = warcraft3 [00:52] BrokenPipe: There is something in the release notes about that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon/ReleaseNotes in the section "Dual-head (multi-screen) setups" [00:52] TravisAlaKing: Alt+F2, type gconf-editor [00:52] how I can fix it???? [00:52] o [00:52] i became very unstable [00:52] Fastn: maybe they just use another algorithms to calc the real volume. for instance: winamp on windows has 3 different ways to calc volume: linear, logarithmic and hypersomthing :) [00:52] thank you very much [00:52] TravisAlaKing: In terminal type "gconf-editor" [00:52] without quotes [00:52] D2006: Okey, thx [00:52] Does anybody know why USB hotplugging is not working in Gutsy? Usb disk / usb mouse do not work unless I boot with them plugged in [00:52] twilight: have some tea or something [00:52] I did a fresh install of gutsy ubuntu and after toying around with it realized it was a bit sluggish on my slow machine so i opted for xubuntu via aptitude, how do i remove the ubuntu-desktop metapackage such that all of the packages are removed and i just have xubuntu? [00:52] after which I can plug/unplug all I want [00:53] sn4k31 modprobe [00:53] guys im trying to update to gutsy, update-manager -d doesn't work, it's an up to date feisty install, the upgrade manager doesn't work... what the heck is going on? [00:53] finally! a freaking irc chat client! :) [00:53] xtlosx type apt-get dist-upgrade [00:53] radioaktivstorm: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce [00:53] same result [00:53] alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device [00:53] what is that??? [00:53] apt-get update first.. xtlosx? [00:53] i did [00:54] apt-get update, updated apt-get dist-upgrade, nothing [00:54] says it's up to date [00:54] what the hell [00:54] Flannel, thanks ill try that [00:54] do i have to change everything to gutsy in the sources.list ? I tried that too, and it still said it's all update to date [00:54] No Matter what resolution settings I pick my desktop is always bigger than my screen, e.g. moving the mouse to the edge scrolls the screen around -- nvidia card here, any ideas? [00:54] Anybody know where to tell firefox to use flash instead of gnash? [00:54] sn4k31 that's an error message telling you that the module for that hardware is not inserted [00:54] The speed limit deluge plugin doesn't work for me (or works too well). It drops upload speed to 0.1kb no matter what I set. Anyone else see this? [00:54] sn4k: what does this return #aplay -l [00:54] so what i have to do??? [00:54] Flannel: I think I would rather take my chances with updating the kernel on what I already have, but will that mean that the restricted-modules will not work if I update the kernel? [00:54] anyone? [00:54] AngryElf: look for the 'virtual' line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [00:54] What could be going on, I don't get it [00:55] AngryElf: and delete it [00:55] I cannot upgrade this feisty box to gutsy [00:55] mattJ: it worked! Thanks Man! [00:55] TravisAlaKing: ok i got it started up, but my mouse is laggy in-game [00:55] xtlosx: did you try the update manager? [00:55] FLSimpsonKPT: Great, no problem :) [00:55] yes [00:55] same thing, it says it is up to date [00:55] anyone on xchat? how do I hide the left pane with the list of networks? [00:55] now i just need to get my restricted ati drivers working [00:55] * fdex hi [00:55] what the heck could be wrong? it's my fiancee's laptop, she hasn't touuched a thing on it [00:55] xtlosx: it should say upgrade at the top [00:55] ian: tea? water is better for this time [00:55] I understand that, i upgraded my laptop at work [00:55] 3 am here in greece [00:55] Fasma_: I changed mine to tabbed mode. [00:55] what are extents [00:55] Where is the option in Nautilus to show root folders on the left? [00:56] Fasma_: drag the bar just to the right of the network list to the left [00:56] VousDeux: tabbed mode? I'll check it out [00:56] damn it havnt found it yet [00:56] K3nt, is the mouse stuttering or just slow? [00:56] I can't seem to figure this out, and I have never seen this before, it's bizarre [00:56] nickrud, fantastic! [00:56] xtlosx: open up the update manager, it should say at the top.. new upgrade or something and should show a button on the right that says upgradew [00:56] why won't it upgrade... it's a feisty install!!!

[01:06] !/leave [01:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about leave - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:06] TravisAlaKing: and allow pixel shader is checked.96 dpi [01:07] isnt there an easy way to have two ubuntu computers to share harddrives with each other in nautilus without passwords and crap? [01:07] I thought gutsy was supposed to recognize broadcom wireless cards out of the box [01:07] where in synaptic package manager are you talking about,t o allow upgrades? [01:07] Hi everyone,... could someone please tell me how to copy a directory and or then delete it from and to /var/www ? it's the only way I've so far figured out where my html pages should go and cannot figure out how to configure Apache in any other way under linux with LAMP isntall, i'm running within the gui right now [01:07] !exit [01:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about exit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:07] Dumptruck, getdeb.net has it... [01:07] Hi, I upgraded to Gutsy and now I can't install or uninstall stuff via apt-get. I tried uninstalling Rhythmbox but got an error. Can someone take a look at this pastebin and help me? thanks. http://pastebin.ca/743002 [01:07] stoodleysnow: what are you trying to find out [01:07] never mind [01:07] LifeSF: use sudo [01:07] K3nt , sorry, I'm not sure. [01:07] I found the goods on their site [01:07] i seem to get stuck in updateing to gusty [01:08] how to leave the room with a goodbye comment... [01:08] TravisAlaKing: k thanks for your help [01:08] LifeSF -- you can copy a directory using the command 'sudo cp' -- eg: 'sudo cp ~/Desktop/my_html_file /var/www/a_folder'. [01:08] cliechti where in synaptic were you talking about [01:08] right click name of channel and select close [01:08] sudo cp, tried that it says omitting directory [01:08] I still can't get it to mark upgrades and give me the distribution upgrade [01:08] I am pretty sure now that I have Trisomy 21 [01:08] damnit [01:08] Thanks. [01:08] LifeSF: sudo cp -R, sorry [01:08] welcome [01:08] lol [01:08] So have people been having much success with gutsy upgrading? I don't know if I should try an upgrade or do a whole reinstall. The latter of course being a much larger PITA [01:08] i found why my card wasnt working [01:08] how can I see shared NFS directories on the LAN? [01:08] oki :) thanks i'll try that... and to then delete it? [01:08] ArthurArchnix [01:08] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41249/ [01:08] how do i get my BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller to work if gutsy doesn't recognize it out of the box/ [01:08] i went back into restricted driver manager [01:08] What is the name of that one program that allows you to drop down a console at any time like Quake style? Yakuake is one, but is more for KDE. Isn't there a Gnome one? [01:08] stoodleysnow: /part [01:08] LifeSF: sudo rm DIRNAME -R [01:08] and it was unchecked [01:08] anyone know about about how I could possibly upgrade this friekin' machine? [01:08] LifeSF: sudo rm -r /path/to/directory [01:08] oki :) [01:09] thank you [01:09] peepsalot: I didnt.. had to do a clean install. And still my ATI doesnt work as it should.. [01:09] LifeSF: sorry .. sudo rm DIRNAME -r [01:09] shadylookin, I'm also having problems with a Broadcom chip [01:09] why would it uncheck itself after an update [01:09] thats lame [01:09] Does anyone in the chat have experience with a Mac PPC install for the latest stable Ubuntu release( 7.10 )? [01:09] because it uses a new version viator [01:09] hey guyz, is the UBUNTU GUTSY BETA RELEASE the same as the FINAL, if i'fve done all the update???? an answer would be appreciated....... [01:09] kartpusher05: yes [01:09] kartpusher05: yes [01:09] xtlosx: prefs->prefs->distribution should be set to "always prefer highest version" (or whatever it is in english, have a different language in my install here) [01:09] thanx [01:09] Which install should one use with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro card? Desktop or Alternate? [01:09] I thought they were supposed to provide working drivers for broadcom cards at least =( [01:09] * sammyF stayed with Festy ... I'm a Bambi fan :P [01:09] maybe there should be a dialog box that says never ask me again [01:09] where would you install sshd from [01:10] Ryuho: Synaptic for example [01:10] that is chcked clichti [01:10] Fasma: I see why now why we were confusing each other...the xchat-gnome does look much different than the one for KDE. [01:10] Ryuho: the ssh server is in there [01:10] woops cliechti [01:10] whats the command to run something [01:10] such as a .install file [01:10] oh really? [01:10] hmm...... I have been trying to upgrade her box for an entire day now [01:10] i install REGULAR xchat [01:10] LOL [01:10] does anyone here know about virtual box in gutsy because my current virtualbox install refuses to let the modules be updated [01:10] pyrak: ./install [01:10] anyone know how to get wireless cards working in gutsy if it isn't recognized at install? [01:10] instead of xchat-gnome [01:10] In your opinion, how smooth is the fiesty --> gutsy upgrade right now? [01:10] sammyF because i can't ssh into my ubuntu [01:11] ArthurArchnix [01:11] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41249/ [01:11] viator: ick. xchat-gnome is ghastly. [01:11] pyrak: you need to tell the shell that it's in the current directory [01:11] shadylookin, I've been trying for two days now to get my wireless to work but it seems like a lost cause [01:11] Azureus is looking for Java 6 instead of Java 5 which is what I have installed so it returns the error "exec: 40: java: not found" [01:11] has anyone noticed web pages rendering slowing since the upgrade? [01:11] yeah i know === gustavo_ is now known as gustavoimago [01:11] How cna I make Azureus use Java 5 instead of 6? [01:11] thats why i use the regular one [01:11] xtlosx: it took me over 10 hours to upgrade to the RC and I did the alternative upgrade from disk method (so I already had over half of the packages) [01:11] Hi , i've installed Warcraft3 (wine 0.9.47) but battlenet doesn't work "connection to battlenet" .. any idea ? [01:11] Fastly: this is VousDeux on xchat-gnome :) [01:11] how can i make ubuntu look like vista? [01:11] the dumbed it down too [01:11] CAn anyone help with JAva install on ubuntu [01:11] sammyF,erm... [01:11] "squid is a web proxy cache. answering yes to the [01:11] following question will configure quicktables to transparently proxy all outbound http requests through squid without requiring any browser configuration. if you have no idea what this means answer no to the following question." [01:11] sammyf, i'm in the right dir, i just dont know how to run the install script [01:11] hmm.. I did it at work, downloaded all 800mb, but my fiancee's box should be an easy straight dist upgrade [01:12] Hi, I upgraded to Gutsy and now I can't install or uninstall stuff via apt-get. I tried uninstalling Rhythmbox but got an error. Can someone take a look at this pastebin and help me? thanks. http://pastebin.ca/743002 [01:12] but it doesn't see it. won't let me i've tried every whichi way [01:12] hi [01:12] i don't want to blindly answer NO so can anyone help me with that ? [01:12] matthew_: its a problem with tzdata - dont know why though [01:12] i installed swf-player and mozilla-plugin-gnash yet i still cannot get it working on firefox [01:12] flick: best way is go get a them that looks like vista and run kde [01:12] using you tube to test. [01:12] pyrak: you want to run it from the gui or from the shell? [01:12] matthew_: try apt-get -f install [01:12] is there any particular reason why the update manager wont let you see what files it's installing? [01:12] what are the package names to get flash working with firefox ? [01:12] sammyf, shell [01:12] can someone point me to a good how to for sharing files/ folders/ printers across a LAN (I'm mainly interested in sharing between 2 Ubuntu systems, however, I do have an XP system that might like to access the shar as well). [01:12] but imho i would go with compizfusion [01:12] using apt-get [01:12] Seeker`: ok thanks [01:12] i heard that a caching proxy might help on a dialup connection is true ? [01:12] sn4k: Is this a gatewway laptop? [01:13] newbie: how I can listen to mp3 streams with U7.10? What do I need to install? [01:13] pyrak, tried "./intall" ? [01:13] illegal operation [01:13] localgod11, actually i'm not that keen to make it look like vista... unless there are other advantages of running KDE? [01:13] The more I play around with Gnome, the more I like KDE. [01:13] illigal option i mean [01:13] is a toshiba satellite [01:13] pyrak: without the quote of course [01:13] ArthurArchnix [01:13] how large a download is KDE? [01:13] sammyf, it says no such file or directoy [01:13] with the copy... coudl somone say it in pm? i get completely lost in the chatroom :S [01:13] scrottles: its something along the lines of flash-non-free, why not use synaptic? or just goto a site that needs flash and get the plugin... its basically the same [01:13] I'm downloading Xubuntu too..I'll see how I like that. [01:13] CroiX :) [01:13] this upgrade has been "modifying software channels" for almost 20 minutes :( [01:13] 26% [1 nexuiz-data 61255680/227MB 26%] 1365B/s 1d 9h56m39s [01:13] sn4k31 Ok, looking into it further at the moment, will pm you in a few minutes [01:13] pyrak, huch ... you see the file when you do a ls? [01:13] bluefox83, it takes a while. [01:14] nibsal24b: heres a howto - http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html [01:14] try flashplayer nonfree [01:14] warbler: thank you very much [01:14] sammyF, if that means "dir", then yes [01:14] k [01:14] nibsa1242b: in your case, you'll need samba share [01:14] flick : dunno [01:14] ok last question - why does it happen that when I am not doing anything on Ubuntu it sounds like my hard drive is being scanned? Can I stop this? [01:14] mOrO^, it's still "asking for confirmation" [01:14] the file is called lxx74.install [01:14] I have a feeling KDE will be my choice in the end [01:14] I'm here, please fix it [01:14] CroiX i strongly believe that "default" should only be considered as a "starting poing on the long road to 'right'" [01:14] gnome-control-cente [01:14] doh sry [01:14] pyrak: yes .. ls is the dir command for linux [01:14] and is there something like peer guardian for Ubuntu? [01:14] !mp3 [01:14] CroiX, why do you think KDE is better? [01:14] 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 [01:14] sammyF: ok thanks [01:14] pyrak: try this : "chmod 755 install" [01:14] isnt there an easy way to have two ubuntu computers to share harddrives with each other in nautilus without passwords and crap? [01:15] pyrak: then "./install" [01:15] flick: because too much functionality is hidden or removed from Gnome [01:15] is there a way wo copy and delete files directly from within the gui into restricted access folders? [01:15] can anyone help me [01:15] Tortured, NFs [01:15] how can I show My Computer, Documents icons on the desktop? it was something you changed in gconf-editor, ive forgotten where tho [01:15] *NFS [01:15] help.... [01:15] try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [01:15] whenever I enable the nvidia driver I get stuck at 640X480 [01:15] bluefox83, its not easy [01:15] flick: I think they have gone too far in trying to make it user friendly [01:15] i accidentally destroyed the hardrive w/ my home partition [01:15] what's the command [01:15] that's like [01:15] how can I get a working home partition up and running? [01:15] 'run" [01:15] or "execute" [01:15] bluefox83, even the wiki page is complicated and drawn out [01:15] CroiX, seems then i'll like KDE too... could you give some examples [01:15] is just me or gusty more buggy then any other ubuntu distro yet? [01:16] I thought we were getting a tool with xorg 7.3 to force refresh rates and resolutions to take care of this bug [01:16] Tortured, it's easy enough...you tell it what directories you want to share, and which machines are aloud to access them, and where you want them mounted... [01:16] tigran: it's in apps -> nautilus in gconf [01:16] flick: CroiX: I would like KDE more if it didn't make me think Windows. I use Ubuntu because I want to be different, not run something that could be almost mistaken for XP so I prefer Gnome for now. [01:16] Rob125: thanks [01:16] " flick: because too much ... removed from Gnome" <<< never was there. can't be removed. [01:16] Tortured: you have link to the wiki page? was looking for it right now ;) [01:16] sammyF, just wiki.ubuntu.com search for nfs [01:16] pyrak: no ... you just type the name of the command [01:17] anyone know how to force refresh rates in gutsy [01:17] and resolutions [01:17] why does a program start and immediately vanish? [01:17] Agent_bob: sure, I'll agree with that...sorry I mis-stated [01:17] Tortured: sigh .. I was being lazy.. but thanks :) [01:17] does anyone know how to fix compiz fusion after a gutsy upgrade? [01:17] namely miro [01:17] however, CroiX, removed or not if too much even was never there in gnome that could be a cause of worry for me too [01:17] mistone: other then their odd choice to use a buggy version of gimp I have yet to find a single bug in regular usage [01:17] sammyF, it's not a command, it's a .install file [01:17] CroiX, could you please cite some examples? [01:17] pyrak: chmod just changes the attributes of the file [01:17] Dumptruck start it in a terminal and see what error it's pukeing out. [01:18] pyrak: may I ask what it installs? [01:18] sn4k31 , sent you a pm with some stuff to try [01:18] sammyf, a printer driver [01:18] nibsa1242b: installing it was a bitch, it started out at 800x600 which is fine, but the install dialog box went below the screen :{ [01:18] for a lexmark x75 [01:18] wow, ubuntu no longer offers support for xmms? interesting [01:18] Are there any mirrors available for the Mac PPC ( G3 and later )downs of Ubuntu? IF so, what are the addys? [01:18] flick: I haven't tried Gnome for several weeks, I would have to dig around a little, but the xchat interface is a good example...there is no way to use the tabbed channel mode which is really handy [01:18] its lame but with ati you have to install the xgl [01:18] bluefox83: xmms is in universe [01:18] !lvm [01:18] Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [01:19] when I start in the terminal it works fine [01:19] CroiX, yah there is, youve got to install regular xchat not xchat-gnome [01:19] ... hmm [01:19] mistone: from the live cd? I've never used a Ubuntu live cd. I've always done alternative install/ upgrade in place. [01:19] Also, I need to know if anyone on this channel has any experience with a Mac PPC install of Ubuntu? [01:19] bluefox83: go VLC or Mplayer [01:19] CroiX, if you mean xchat-gnome then i agree, i quickly rejected it... using xchat now [01:19] pyrak: when you type more .install, does it look like a script? [01:19] nibsa1242b: oh ok [01:19] I just tried adding a folder from inside the open dialog and it said it couldn't find it lol [01:19] Tortured: thanks for clearing that up for me [01:19] pyrak: "more .install" [01:19] CroiX, remove xchat-gnome and install xchat-common and you get your tabs back in whatever window manager you want to use [01:19] what's the name of the battery monitor application? [01:19] Help me Please!!!! I am so stupid [01:19] Anyone know alot about ext3? [01:20] /msg ubotu ssh [01:20] bluefox83: okay, thanks [01:20] sammyF maybe learn "file" file .install [01:20] LOL or sshfs? [01:20] anyone have an opinion on 32 vs 64 bit? [01:20] lmao [01:20] can anyone tell me how to get compiz to work after a gutsy upgrade? [01:20] gnome xchat just crashed [01:20] case and point [01:20] edubuntu, you're not stupid. Just need more info from us, that's all. [01:20] Yeah [01:20] If you can help it would be amazing [01:20] i like regular xchat batter [01:20] hi, my old disk i formatted was named sdb, now its disk. is there a way i can format the name? [01:20] reindeer don't jump to comclusions lol [01:20] localgod11: 32 unless you know exactly why you need it [01:20] haha [01:20] my understanding is that anything you can install in gnome or kde can be installed in either one, let me dig around in the system stuff a little and see if I can find a better example [01:20] I just did a booboo on my server [01:20] comclusions [01:20] sammf, i really think youre misunderstanding [01:20] is there anyway to upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 using the install CD? i found instructions for the alternate cd but not the install CD [01:21] Gursikh: nice cloak [01:21] jrib: but wouldnt 64 be peppier? [01:21] csc`: THanks :-) [01:21] sammyF, it's a file with extension .install [01:21] holy crap it's about time, the upgrade manager is just *now* downloading the upgrades [01:21] i mean not faster per se but more responsive? [01:21] sammyF, the file is called lxx74.install [01:21] You wouldn't happen to know how to make Firefox ignore my GTK theme? [01:21] pyrak: lol ... okay .. I did misunderstand it :) [01:21] I was trying to get sshfs to work right and it mounted to a directory that i did not set the owner to me first [01:21] pyrak: thought the file was called .install [01:22] I tried fusermount -u umount would not let me unbmount the fs [01:22] Agent_bob: heh ... thanks ... never said I was a pro and it's always good to learn new stuff [01:22] edubuntu, maybe you are able to assist with my efforts to dwon a Mac PPC variant of the latest stable release of Ubuntu. Would you have any info re: mirror sites? [01:22] Sooooo.. . . . I tried rm the dir and it removed half of my storage [01:22] YBH_1: I think you have to use the alternate cd. And even then if you have any non-standard packages you end up waiting to dl their new versions. [01:22] I need to recover some files off of ext3 [01:23] What do i do?/ [01:23] arthurarchnic [01:23] arthurarchnix [01:23] Hello all... I'm totally new to this (not to linux but to what i'm about to describe). I want to dual boot my laptop. It has Vista Business on it. What's the easiest way of going about repartitioning and installing Ubuntu without killing the Vista install? [01:23] how do you modify keyboard shortcuts in gnome? [01:23] where did you sent a pm [01:23] ? [01:23] ok nibsa1242b [01:23] reindeer? any help? [01:23] CroiX: system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts [01:23] Tempus: partition in vista first [01:24] i gotta get this 7 gb back [01:24] Tempus just recize ur partition where vista is...but, it is recommended to defrag the dik beforehand :o [01:24] hey guys. I' [01:24] what's the name of the battery monitor application? [01:24] mistone: i tried to "Shrink" the partition... said it could only free up like 4 gigs [01:24] compiz doesnneither my desktop nor my laptop support com [01:24] sn4k31 Did you try that stuff I sent? [01:24] /msg nickserv set unfiltered on [01:24] wastrel: thanks...I must be blind [01:24] can i get LVM at first install from Gutsy's disc? [01:24] edubuntu: oops - Actually, you can't! This is what one of the developers, Andreas Dilger, said about it: [01:24] In order to ensure that ext3 can safely resume an unlink after a crash, it actually zeros out the block pointers in the inode, whereas [01:24] ext2 just marks these blocks as unused in the block bitmaps and marks the inode as "deleted" and leaves the block pointers alone. [01:24] Your only hope is to "grep" for parts of your files that have been deleted and hope for the best. [01:24] what size should I make my root partition. Is 10 gigs enough. [01:24] Tempus download a program called Paragon Partition Magic and recize it [01:24] matthew_: you mean the one in the panel? [01:24] Tempus: what? are you sure that your harddrive isn't just full? [01:25] Dicey: 10gigs should be fine [01:25] mistone: sure not. the laptop is less than 6 weeks old [01:25] Hey guys! Anyone upgraded to Gutsy Gibbon already? [01:25] thanks [01:25] edubuntu, I could sure use the help straight away. I have Ubuntu 5.10 for the Mac PPC and just need a fresh upgrade to 7.10. Wouuld you be able to guide me to low-traffic mirrors sites? [01:25] It also has to do with continuous space [01:25] wastrel: the one that sits in the notification area: it showed a green battery. [01:25] you can move stuff around so you get continious freespace [01:25] mistone: so basically a defrag would help? [01:25] what is that advanced compiz control panel install command? [01:25] Prolly better getting the iso off of a torrent [01:26] Tempus: easiest is to have a second hard drive for each OS. (remember Linux will boot from an external HD, XP won't I don't know about Vista). Otherwise, partition first in Windows and make sure you are comfortable with Grub syntax if you are going to use Grub to boot. I prefer Grub as it lets me have a custom graphical boot menu of my dogs. [01:26] Tempus: no thats what I mean [01:26] matthew_: that's a panel applet, you can find it in "add to panel" [01:26] Tempus the best option u have anyway, is to get winXP and dual boot it with ubuntu.forget vista.I was in the same situation...vista somehow always manages to screw things up [01:26] hi [01:26] Does wine 0.9.47 work with Gutsy? [01:26] I think Ubuntu is radical [01:26] Hi There! I am trying to install 7.10 into a virtual machine, using virtual server, but I am getting emask errors? buffer overflow errors, right after I tell it to install/start ubuntu [01:26] hehe [01:26] well i hate to dump vista [01:26] It's your hardware [01:27] You should definitely dump Vista [01:27] I love to dump vista [01:27] Ubuntu would be radical if I am able to find a variant for my Mac G4. [01:27] wastrel: no, it's an application that sits in the notification area. the one you're thinking of is called Battery Charge Monitor [01:27] Tempus: me too [01:27] It makes me happy to remove it from anysystem [01:27] for some reason kubuntu gutsy won't upgrade from beta to release [01:27] Tempus: i dual boot vista [01:27] I just have a quick question regarding the new ubuntu, I was thinking of installing it fully encrypted on my laptop, I just want to know if there will be a significant performance drop with encryption. [01:27] Tempus Vista=Resource Hog [01:27] Ubunutu should have a PPC build [01:27] garu_: its not really [01:27] nonrate: it does [01:27] agreed, garu_ [01:27] right after it downloads the kernel it says there are 5 packages that are no longer supported and then it says i don't need to update [01:27] any ideas how I could start from an existing 6.06 install that has a bunch of corrupted files and re-install it via internet connection? [01:27] not signifigant, unless your running a pentium II [01:27] it uses all that ram as cache [01:27] !real [01:27] 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 [01:28] like yea it says its using all your ram [01:28] localgod11: how did you do it successfully? [01:28] Vista is nothinig short of a cheap Mac riop-off courtesy of the Evil Empire( MS ). [01:28] but its atcaully doing something smart [01:28] install vista first thenubuntu [01:28] that being said [01:28] Anyone? Does WINE 0.9.47 (latest release) work in Gutsy? Running ./configure gives me an error. [01:28] nonrate: they used to have them, they dropped it when apple dropped PPC basically. It now exists unofficially I believe--maintained by the community only. [01:28] where are u running into a problem? [01:28] its retarded [01:28] it allocates almost all ram in the newer linux kernels [01:28] Tempus: really if you can afford it or have an extra HD around just put Ubuntu on its own HD. [01:28] is ubuntu compatible with loading from a mounted iso vis daemon tools? [01:28] LOL [01:28] mistone yes it is, and not only because I'm saying so, it is proved...u shouldnt even dare to say no to that :o!but hey...that's ur opinion :o [01:28] wastrel: found it, called gnome-power-manager [01:28] PokoTao: i am running a pre-made deb i had found of .47 [01:28] dxdf: no rogue builds out there? [01:28] hi. my usb wireless adapter isn't working on 7.10. is there some trick to setting it up? [01:28] nibsa1242b: this is a laptop [01:28] garu_:ok I am not denying its a resource hog [01:28] which package contains the openssl/sha.h include file? [01:28] but its not THAT bad [01:28] nonrate: well, that is my point, all builds now a days will be rogue builds. They aren't officially supported. [01:28] drop vista it will be your best move [01:28] sampson: where did you find it? [01:29] networkn: you want to mount the ubuntu livecd in daemon tools? [01:29] its pretty bad tho [01:29] i don't remember...let me check my cache [01:29] Tempus my laptop came pre-installed with vista, and, in less than a month, I had problems [01:29] tempus: mines a laptop and i dont have a problem [01:29] localgod11: yeah i gather that... but surely it's a little more complicated than that [01:29] use a live cd to partion [01:29] ok, thanks [01:29] not really [01:29] Tempus wireless is a big pain in the arse on it [01:29] is there any documentation on the new screen and graphics configuration tool in gutsy? [01:29] Nonrate, how would I be able to secure a copy of 7.10 for my G4( Sawetooth )? [01:29] or you could even download gparted live cd [01:29] like partition magic almost pretty gui [01:29] Garu: my wireless work fine using restriced drivers [01:29] if i choose the 1st option while installing ubuntu (the one which chooses free space) does it create a new partition? if so, would it be a secondary or primary partition? [01:29] mistone when u say its not that bad, what r u comparing to? [01:29] try gparted live cd [01:30] reindeer: I'm not sure, I acutally use openSuse atm but am thinking of using Ubuntu8 [01:30] I can't seem to get nvidia twinview to work correctly unless I hard code the xorg.conf, which seems to deafeat the purpose [01:30] Where can I find the sudoers file? [01:30] or something [01:30] Zombine: /etc [01:30] also has a usb setup to convert iso to usb boot great for partition needs [01:30] http://mepislovers.org/forums/showthread.php?p=80700 [01:30] garu_: the resources that a modern computer has [01:30] Tempus: private message [01:30] Eagle3-- Thank you [01:30] localgod11: my only worry is that i've never dual booted anything before [01:30] worked fine in gutsy [01:30] Grrr... tried upgrading from the alternate cd and it didn't work quite right so now I am trying to upgrade via the normal way [01:30] problem I have with ubuntu right now is I am a developer and use KDE, Ubuntu is not exactly developer or KDE friendly out of t6he box [01:30] mistone would u consider a Core 2 Duo with 1 Gig of RAM or even 2, a modern computer? [01:30] sampson: alright, thanks a ton. [01:30] garu_: yea fo sure [01:30] but it's fantastic as a Vista replacement, better than openSuse for that [01:30] i use dban and gparted [01:30] can anyone point me to some help on the new screen and graphics tool? specifically for getting dual monitors to work with an nvidia card [01:31] nonrate: why not use kubuntu? [01:31] mistone how come it still struggles with vista? :s [01:31] any Duo = modern pc? :P [01:31] if i choose the 1st option while installing ubuntu (the one which chooses free space) does it create a new partition? if so, would it be a secondary or primary partition? [01:31] garu_: "struggle?" [01:31] 1248 of 1922 files fsck [01:31] it works for me [01:31] garu: me 2 [01:31] how much disk space does a full gutsy install need? would 10GB cover it? [01:31] stinger05: I would think it depends on how your current partitions are setup [01:31] mistone check this out...start your machine, but dont do anything, u'll notice that, even though u'r not doing anything, the hdd is working like hell... [01:31] networkn: 10GB should be fine [01:32] garu_: wow. so what [01:32] it works fine [01:32] networkn: depends on what you want to install, but yet that would probably be fine [01:32] networkn: only uses a few GBs or so [01:32] dystopianray: I haven't tried it yet, but I may soon [01:32] garu_: nope [01:32] Can someone explain why my downloads are so slow, i download in 3,11kb [01:32] trust me I hate vista as much as the next guy [01:32] Ok, nonrate. Does Novell maintain a Mac PPC variant for openSuSE atm? [01:32] Hrm does the ubuntu install have to overright home etc [01:32] can ubuntu resize ntfs partitions? [01:32] openSuse 10.3 failed to upgrade, and a reinstall was horrible [01:32] but alot of poeples arguements suck [01:32] eagle3--: i have 2 partions with windows xp installed [01:32] hi there! is there a simple way to play sims on ubuntu, i have downloaded wine, but would be happy for a quick solution, rather than to read war and peace... [01:32] !offtopic | reindeer nonrate mistone [01:32] Bsims: ubuntu install takes about 15-20 minutes [01:32] reindeer nonrate mistone: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [01:32] mistone and also, u know one of the weirdest things that microsoft said about vista "one of its innovative features is to anticipate what the user is going to do next"!lol [01:32] haha ok [01:32] uboto: thanks for the info [01:33] I don't wanna wipe my /etc/ and home though [01:33] russ: did you install the sims in wine? [01:33] morning all, all bright eyed and bushy tailed.. how are we doing? ps, my ktorrent is in hidden (cant see it but system processes says its going) mode, how do i make it visible? [01:33] i think he is just partioning the FREESPACE [01:33] ok never mind, i found the openssl/sha.h, it's in libssl-dev package [01:33] im guty gibboning [01:33] stinger05: if there's room for a primary partition I assume it would create one...never tried it though...I always use manual setup [01:33] mistone my lecturer wasted 35 minutes of the lecture just talking about that.lol === evilkry is now known as stephensflc [01:33] Okay i'm trying to get ssh working from the outside world. It works fine from inside the lan. So i'm assuming its a port forwarding issue on my router. I hve a dsl router which is connected to a linksys router to serve my network. The dsl router has an external ip but hte linksys has an internal ip. I tried adding the port forward on the linksys but its not working any ideas? [01:33] is anyone familiar with setting up dual monitors in gutsy? [01:33] dystopianary, no, how do i do that? [01:33] his hd might be 200gb and all ntfs except 4-8 gb [01:33] I've done it by editing xorg.conf in feisty...but I can't figure out the new config tool [01:33] I need to do an install of ubuntu without a CD. Ideas? [01:33] Hi there .. i have a SONY VAIO laptop ...i wanted to get my web-cam MOTION EYE working on ubuntu 7.10 ...any idea [01:33] Tempus: fun! I think Ubuntu wouldn't mind booting from a USB or Firewire drive... Or if you reinstall Windows, you can always partition the drive that way. There is always, gparted should be on the live CD... I think that can resize NTFS partitions. [01:33] akaishi: usb key? [01:34] russ: insert your 'the sims' cd into your computer, open a terminal and run: wine /media/cdrom0/setup.exe (or install.exe or whatever it uses) [01:34] the only one I have is 256 mb [01:34] nibsa1242b: noted. thanks, may give that a shot [01:34] dystopianray, will give it a go [01:34] resize the ntfs windows partion to less than half the size of the hd [01:34] im on a live tribe4 cd of gutsy, kubuntu, i dont want to overwrite my /home partition, so i want to mount one so i can see the contetnts, but im getting this "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 999" when i right click to mount in konqueror [01:34] sadly I don't think gutsy will install using MS virutal server [01:34] okay, so I uninstalled xchat-gnome and it's components. then I installed xchat-common, but there is no longer an icon on the menu to launch it...how do I launch it now? [01:34] akaishi: hmmm, I know there is a way, just nothing copy and paste easy [01:34] is it normal to be getting errors now when trying to update gutsy? like : Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates/main tzdata 2007h-0ubuntu0.7.10 [01:34] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80] [01:35] Nonrate & edubuntu, IU appreciate y'all for your assistance. I'll need to dig a bit deepoer to find ubuntu 7.10 or Ubuntu8 for my PPC. Thank you and good night. [01:35] exception emask sact [01:35] I could do a local net install if I had another machine but I don't [01:35] underwatercow: yes [01:35] Tempus: its in system->administration->partition editor and if it isn't on the live cd, google for sysrescuecd or gparted live cd. the gparted live cd is under 50MB and should be able to help you. [01:35] make a launcher [01:35] cafuego: thanks [01:35] is anyone familiar with setting up dual monitors in gutsy? I've done it by editing xorg.conf in feisty...but I can't figure out the new config tool [01:35] Can any one assist a new person with instaling Java on 7.10? [01:35] I have problem with setting up my resolution to 1680x1050. I have MSI RX2600PRO and LG L204WS. When I install drivers, Ubuntu reports that no screen is found and won't start X. Is there any solution, or I should change mi VGA to nVidia? [01:35] nibsa1242b: awesome [01:35] World: jre or jdk? 1.5 or 1.7? [01:35] !java > World (read the private message from ubotu) === packet is now known as packetgod [01:36] World: 1.5 or 1.6 i mean [01:36] I'm trying to install ET:Quake Wars Demo on Gutsy x64 but all I get is this in a terminal "bash: ./ETQW-client-1.1.r8.x86.run: No such file or directory" (I did a chmod 755 to the file) [01:36] Eagle3--: I setup my internal lcd and external tv/lcd, didn't know gusty had a tool for that, I had to edit xorg.conf by hand [01:36] NeanT: does that file actually exist in the current directory? [01:36] jrib thanks didn't see that. [01:36] I know I could go to the command-line and launch xchat, but is that what they had in mind? or is something broken? [01:36] can someone put onto pastebin the _official" sources.list as if one were doing a fresh install from iso? Thank you!!!!! [01:36] how can i test my web-cam is being detected by gusty ?? I have a sony VAIO MOTION EYE [01:37] when doing the distribution upgrade for 7.10 from the Update Manager where are the downloaded files located at? [01:37] kibble: that's what I did in feisty...edited by hand...but the new screen and graphics tool lets you change configuration without restarting X...it seems like maybe it's not fully functional so I might have to just resort to editing xorg.conf [01:37] NeanT: it's a shell script and binary. you don't have the correct version, it's a 32bit and you need a 64bit version [01:37] kibble,it would just be nice to be able to disable a secondary monitor without restarting X [01:37] why isn't mpeg123 in the repositories anymore [01:37] Tempus: and I think if you defrag first it might help, but I don't really know anymore. Its been so long since I had to figure out how to set up a dual boot on one hd. [01:37] Can someone explain why my downloads are so slow, i download in 3,11kb [01:37] Eagle3--: I'm a slack man from 95ish, I'm used to it :) [01:37] maybe xchat-gnome is a good example of how gnome removes functionality [01:37] nibsa1242b: well, like i said, i've never done it before [01:37] hola [01:37] Fastn: what are you downloading? [01:37] I'm trying to install Ubuntu, and stupidly, I accidently formatted my blank partition as NTFS. What filesystem does ubuntu install on so I can reformat the drive for it to work? [01:37] Fastn, I'm told 9528543 people are downloading from the ubuntu servers right now [01:37] gringossssssssssssssssss [01:38] AndrewRy: try ext3 [01:38] kibble: slack was actually my first distro from back in the 90's...so I don't mind...I just like to be spoiled sometimes :-) [01:38] AndrewRy: I would suggest ext3 [01:38] Okay, thanks [01:38] EXT3 [01:38] quit [01:38] kibble: bittorrent [01:38] perrossssssss [01:38] Eagle3--: there is probably something that will do it, but I never really looked [01:38] system_: stop [01:38] AndrewRy, you can format the HD from the install CD. It uses ext3 format [01:38] Fastn: how many seeders/leachers? [01:38] I just hope I don't screw up my windows partition doing this. [01:38] akaishi: i dont download from ubuntu, i download from a random site [01:38] kibble: well Xorg in gutsy has extensions built in to change things on the fly...just gotta figure out how to do it [01:39] I have problem with setting up my resolution to 1680x1050. I have MSI RX2600PRO and LG L204WS. When I install drivers, Ubuntu reports that no screen is found and won't start X. Is there any solution, or I should change mi VGA to nVidia? [01:39] kibble: 3 seeders, 1 leacher [01:39] Tempus: I think the worst part of it was that at the time I had to hand configure GRUB... I think the installer takes care of it by itself now. [01:39] !es | system_ [01:39] system_: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. [01:39] Fastn: well that doesn't sound like very many. that might be the problem [01:39] nibsa1242b: good to know [01:39] YBH_1: I'm using the GParted program it has on the CD to do it, since the install froze up at the partitioner loading screen last time I tried. [01:39] ok then just format for ext3 [01:39] how do I add noacpi to the install of gutsy [01:39] ? [01:39] hmm, if ktorrent is running, but theres no task bar icon and no window to minimise or maximise how do i make it visible in gui? [01:39] is it possible to boot the livecd and have it do a net install to a hard drive? [01:40] World: java is available in the standard repos now. no need for any 3d party repos [01:40] Since I upgraded to 7.10 firefox went crazy, anyone got same? [01:40] Fastn: I'd downloading something using bt now and there is 2k seeders but I'm still only getting 54k/s [01:40] Tempus: just make sure if you can that you have a second computer nearby with Internet access. That way if you get stuck you can ask questions or google for answers and you should be fine. And of course, backup any data you don't want to use just in case something goes wrong. [01:40] DerDritte, what do you mean crazy? [01:40] DerDritte: crazy how? [01:40] Freezes from time to time... [01:40] DerDritte: sorry, not I...mine works fine, but I've been using Gutsy for quite awhile [01:41] My install is still freezing at the "Starting up the partitioner screen", is it because of bad hardware, or filesystem (I know my Windows runs fine on this machine, too). [01:41] DerDritte, try emptying the cache for firefox [01:41] nibsa1242b: right. i have no shortage of computers and hopefully no shortage of HD space... but the computer is so new i think i'd be okay if i had to wipe it clean [01:41] cafuego you are pretty knowlegeable when it comes to wireless [01:41] DerDritte: yeah actually mine did that to, but it wasn't as annoying as the caret focus thing, once I turned that off I haven't noticed it crash once, F7 btw [01:41] Tempus: well then... less risk if something goes wrong [01:41] * cafuego hides [01:41] nibsa1242b: indeed [01:41] why is it when im using the bcm43xx my touchpad mouse goes nuts [01:42] kibble: ? [01:42] AndrewRy I had that problem today [01:42] To those who have done a fresh install using Ubuntu7.10 iso: please post the official Sources.list onto pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/). Thank you. [01:42] hi all ... just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 , and am having problems with my Binary only Nvidia drivers ... [01:42] newbie Q: what do I have to do to listen to mp3 streams with U 7.10 on a live-cd? that damn Rhythmbox craps out too often [01:42] viator: Dunno, that sounds very odd, not something I've heard about before. [01:42] who was asking me (CroiX) about the functionality difference between kde and gnome? [01:42] it never did it dapper etc then in fiessty it started [01:42] It was actually becaue the ntfs was corrupted if i waited about 10 minutes it would load up with he partition data [01:42] What did you do to make it stop? [01:42] hello [01:42] in gutsy too [01:42] deleted the ntfs partition completely [01:42] anybody know the link to download gusty dvd [01:42] i think i have a driver direct from Nvidia's page that is causing me problems ... how can i check the version of the driver to find out what file 7.10 is trying to use [01:43] DerDritte: I'm not sure if I turned it on or last time I updated firefox it turned it on, but I got a cursor everywhere, even when there wasn't input boxes. that's caret focus, when I turned that off everything else seemed to land in place, including the freezing [01:43] the mouse server or what ever starts and restarts [01:43] this would all be easier if firefox segfaulting wasn't part of the problem :/ [01:43] over and over [01:43] but ONLY if i use the bcm43xx [01:43] When i checked onthe errormesszges that it was outputting it said to boot under windpws and run chkdisk-f and reboot twice before it could make alterations to the ntfs partition [01:43] rtan: tried www.ubuntu.com? [01:43] oam_: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version [01:43] kibble: it's just firefox that freezes... [01:43] sincei did not want anywindows at all i deleted the whole partition [01:43] if i use the linuxtant driver loader it doesnt do it [01:43] Okay, I'll probably just reformat this harddrive and then start from scratch. I don't have too much on my windows partition as it is, so it wouldn't be a problem. Anything to start using ubuntu. Thanks for the help. [01:44] anybody experienced problems with bootsplash in Gutsy x64 ? my monitor goes in standby between GRUB selection and Login screen.. [01:44] when i go to my other desktop, ubuntu freezes [01:44] check the fourth terminal [01:44] kibble: I don't think it's got anything to do with compiz or such... [01:44] i file a bug [01:44] ctrl+alt F4 [01:44] kibble : i got gusty cd rom but i wonder the dvd iso is available [01:44] they say its a KNOWN bug [01:44] DerDritte: I never mentioned compiz [01:44] but i sat its a REGRESSION after dapper [01:44] hey when copying files with scp, some special characters like í show up weird after transfer. they are fine on the host computer (ubuntu gutsy) [01:44] My upgrade windows says "Running Partial Upgrade". After this "partial upgrade" is over, can I upgrade everything else that wasn't upgraded? Thank you! [01:44] kibble: "or such"... [01:45] carlFL : /proc/driver/nvidia/version does not currently exist ... i should have said before , that to get X to load i had to manually switch back to the "nv" driver [01:45] rtan: probably. haven't looked, if it's not something they advertise on the front page might not be ready [01:45] rtan, Yes, There's a torrent for it. [01:45] so, compiz seems to be eating part of my screen... [01:45] oh guess I should look before I speak [01:45] JensenDied: how so? [01:45] should i change back, and reboot to check the driver version , then reboot again to report back ?? [01:45] or maybe he should have looked before he asked :) [01:45] phaedra: any link ? ftp? [01:46] thinks ..............screen must be tasty [01:46] rtan, It's on linuxtracker.org [01:46] rtan: torrent would be prefered, a lot of people grabbing the ftp now, torrent would be much faster [01:46] kibble: well, my screen size that is started with X is a bit smaller than i like, so i have xrandr resize it, however everything not in that initial size doesnt display, background, menubar etc... since the update [01:46] a friend of mine got it last night via http, took him 6 hours [01:46] So, I've just installed Gutsy... I don't know if there's anyone of the Ubuntu/Canonical team now online, but Gratz to everyone that made this release possible... thanks all! [01:46] Cool thing about the torrent is the more people grabbing it the faster it goes [01:47] JensenDied: so they aren't on the screen at all? [01:47] How do I increase the number of desktops from 2 to 4? [01:47] I just installed Gutsy, i want to know how to make my other Hd (on windows) automatically shop up on the desktop on startup ? also, if i can give it a name other than 'Disk' 'Disk-1' ect.. ? please [01:47] can one upgrade from the live cd? or, must it be a clean install? [01:47] i have a windows partition with some special characters (like "týr") which show up fine in gutsy, but when copying with scp, the filenames end up funny [01:47] Why does my ugrade window say "Running PARTIAL upgrade"??? How can I make the upgrade a FULL one? [01:47] itnomad: do you have ubuntu installed now? what version [01:47] gaah [01:48] kibble: I have feisty [01:48] kibble: its probably due to some of the missing compiz-fusion stuff in the default im gonna try a few more things first, just kinda wierd [01:48] why the fuck won't my beta upgrade to final [01:48] bluebanana: there was a problem upgrading everything at once. it has to upgrade a bit at a time [01:48] phaedra: found the torrent for 7.1 DVD, its 4.23GB . Thanks [01:48] Hello. [01:48] kibble: is this normal? [01:48] I installed Gutsy Gibbon today, and it did not detect my computer monitor, I had to browse a list, and select it. Also, I cant change refresh rate, to more than 50-55 Hz on 1280x1024, even though my monitor runs 85hz in Windows [01:48] got the bittorrent live CD this afternoon [01:48] rtan, Okay.... :) [01:48] sampson: watch your language please [01:48] is there a way to config the 'compiz' desktop ? like in Beryl ? [01:48] tracker has been taking 100% CPU for the past few days...any idea why? Or...how I could check it's status, like you can with beagle? [01:48] but I don't see the option to upgrade when booting the CD [01:48] I have a problem. MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC [01:48] kibble: i think i'ts because i closed the upgrade window. [01:49] JensenDied: I have a 950 gma or something and run at 1280x800, X new it was bigger then 1024x768 but for some reason wasn't telling gnome, I was hoping that;s what you meant because I solved that [01:49] My computer is an Acer Aspire 1605LC, a laptop. [01:49] nobody knows why special characters mess up in filenames after scp transfer? [01:49] bluebanana: wouldn't be the first time I've done that [01:49] sampson: are you still on? [01:49] Any ideas? [01:49] RadicalDreamer, I have the same problem, Just add noapic to the boot parameters. [01:49] Anyone feel like taking a shot helping me figure out my intel wireless 3945ABG adapter? It shows in sudo lshw -C network but no drivers at all. Liek the software doesn't see it [01:49] B_155-ER-x "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" [01:49] What can I use to test my webcam that comes with Gutsy by default? [01:49] Hey all [01:49] how can i change the alt-tab interface to show smaller icons? [01:50] kibble: well thats not what i meant to be talking about, but while were there, how did you solve that since that something else ive been putting off fixing? [01:50] hello I have an unformatted partion that is not being used, how can i utilize this partition in ubuntu [01:50] Okay. Thank you. [01:50] Does anyone here know anything about mplayer? [01:50] Flats: good luck, I am told most intel adapters have good support. [01:50] can anyone help me out with netatalk? I installed it but when I try to connect the server, it asks me for my user/pass and then says there was an unexpected error [01:50] Does anyone know how you can specify to use a static IP on one wireless network while still keeping roaming mode on? [01:50] RadicalDreamer, You might have to add nolapic also... [01:50] JensenDied: I assume an intel video then? yeah I found a web site that had the fix, lemme find it [01:50] thats what they tell me but I've been trying for two days with no luck [01:50] Tracker has been taking 100% CPU for the past few days...any idea why? Or...how I could check it's status, like you can with beagle? [01:50] worked in 7.04 but dead in 7.1 [01:51] ok, no ktorrent people, man, why forth art ktorrent doing this to me... whyyyyy whyyyyyyyy? [01:51] kibble: well this is an nvidia card on this machine, but its probably a similar issue [01:51] RobotBanana: I think if you have control of the DHCP server on the wireless network, you can set it so that it always assigns a particular client the same IP. [01:51] Why is it that graphics totaly pecks up when I install xserver-glx when using the ATI/AMD drivers fglrx with my ATI9800 Pro? [01:51] Is anybody here familiar with the Compiz Window Switcher settings? [01:51] darkzero: all i know i learned through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mplayer [01:51] dmandell: depends, what do you want to do? [01:51] i have an interesting issue hopefully somebody can help me with. for some reason the mouse pointer is grey when I choose "clearglass" under appearance settings on laptop A, but white when I choose "clearglass" on laptop B [01:51] nibsa1242b: But is it possible to do that within Ubuntu? I'm pretty sure you can do it. Hell, my iPod touch can do it... [01:51] how the heck do I make it white like it is on laptop B [01:51] what?? I can't play mp3 in Ubuntu 7.10? There must be some mistake - and I'm a newbie... but I can't play either mp3 on my pc or mp3 streams! any solutions? [01:51] thx [01:51] kibble: so how do i make the PARTIAL upgrade a COMPLETE one later on? [01:52] Megaqwerty: I don't want it to bring the window to the front when I'm switching between windows [01:52] nibsa1242b: I just want it to remember settings for a certain network. [01:52] Fasma, mp3 format is not free, therefore it cannot be packaged in the default install, you have to install mp3 support after [01:52] Right now I got it working fine after uninstalled the amd package and the ati package, then the propriatary driver started working very nice.. but cannot still (!) start compiz etc. [01:52] dmandell: using Alt+Tab? [01:52] Megaqwerty: In the Application Switcher settings I unchecked "Bring to front", but that doesn't seem to do anything. [01:52] bluebanana: just run it again, usually when I see that and I haven't closed the upgrade window it's because you need to reboot or something before it can complete the file upgrade [01:52] Megaqwerty: that's right. [01:52] 8-) [01:52] RobotBanana: I imagine you can, either with config files or scripts. But I wouldn't know how. I would figure the simplest way would be through the DHCP server if you have access. [01:52] sorry under Gutsy.. [01:52] dmandell: I'll check it out. [01:53] Hmm... Alright, thanks nibsa1242b. [01:53] You know why when I play a ogn video file, it show it big on my monitor? [01:53] bluebanana: well not reboot, but sometimes like upgrading dpkg before you can install some new ones, it doesn't do it all at once it will do a partial === DarkHack is now known as D[a]rkH[a]ck [01:53] is setting up fglrx on ubuntu 7.10 with compiz still messy ? or is it point clicky click [01:53] Megaqwerty: Thanks, I just updated from Feisty to Gutsy today and it's driving me a bit batty. [01:53] aro: do you know an easy way to install mp3 support for a live-cd run of Ubuntu 7.10? [01:53] Cryoniq: on most ATI hardware you have to install xgl-server to get compiz to work. Esp. if yo use the proprietray driver. [01:53] i have an interesting issue hopefully somebody can help me with. for some reason the mouse pointer is grey when I choose "clearglass" under appearance settings on laptop A, but white when I choose "clearglass" on laptop B. How do I change the mouse pointer color to be white?

[01:54] kibble: thanks for finding that [01:54] dmandell: since I can't reproduce the problem, I'm sorry...I can't really help :( [01:54] Anyone feel like taking a shot helping me figure out my intel wireless 3945ABG adapter? It shows in sudo lshw -C network but no drivers at all. Liek the software doesn't see it [01:55] Fasma, I don't know if you can install applications on LiveCD, I've never tried sorry [01:55] Megaqwerty: Maybe I'm misunderstanding the way it's supposed to behave? [01:55] Also, does anyone know what to do to stop the scroll pad on a laptop from switching between desktops? I can't find the setting... :| [01:55] dmandell: possibly, what do you expect it to do?

[01:55] numus: u on gutsy? [01:55] Megaqwerty: as I cycle through I don't want the windows popping up behind the switcher. [01:55] then u can get to it with gedit or nautilus [01:55] sleep tiem nao. nini [01:56] garu I actually recommend automatix but others say its bad news. I think the new ersion works well [01:56] lol im having a hard time upgrading [01:56] kibble: well i just finised installing the compiz-kde package, seems to have had stuff not included in the base meta package i needed, still checking out the article though [01:56] if i install ubuntu gutsy on a new partition it would overwrite the grub of the previous ubuntu... right?

[01:56] bluebanana, the zoom effect is driving me batty [01:56] Megaqwerty: What I'm seeing is as I switch from one program to the next (while continuing to hold down alt) the program that I've select pops up in the background. [01:56] nibsa1242b: and when I do... then my gnome is super slow suddenly.. windows update visibly, distortions and leftovers of windows after moved them.. and.. compiz refuse to work anyway with message.. [01:56] locellcount: I think we are still waiting for medibuntu on that one [01:56] packetgod automatix?uuuuuhhhhh...i'v got a bad past with that app :o [01:56] i thought there was no reason to tinker with xorg.conf with gutsy [01:56] !automatix | packetgod, garu_ [01:56] Lifeisfunny: you want the regular effect? [01:56] packetgod, garu_: 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.

[01:57] JensenDied: it lists a bunch of other stuff, but the part about the screen bug fixed is the section I was pointing at [01:57] nibsa1242b, that's cool, but what about the interaction with compiz? [01:57] dmandell: then yes, you are describing what should happen when "Brint to Front" is unchecked [01:57] anyone has experience with Xgl at ati Xpress 1150 on feisty ? [01:57] nibsa1242b: and when I remove xserver-glx and restart.. it is fine again... [01:57] VousDeux: Bugger, it's my last file format to get done...

[01:57] Things look the same! [01:57] sorry ABG [01:57] my question is, why is that I can't install it in the terminal? :s [01:57] Megaqwerty: Maybe it's an intel thing.

[01:58] Hello [01:58] Megaqwerty: Ah well, thanks for looking into it for me. [01:58] Cryoniq: not all ati cards work well with xgl, but until we get the new ATI driver that is supposed to be coming out real soon now it is our only option. [01:58] any thoughts ??? [01:58] i cant wait til the new fglrx rolls out aiglx support [01:58] nibsa1242b: it seems to me that the repository xserver-glx does not play well with fglrx prop ati driver.. [01:58] Now I'm making up my own protocols [01:58] dmandell: possible, but unlikely, I'd ask in #compiz-fusion [01:58] bluebanana: if you're using gnome there will be a restart icon in your system tray, otherwise nope [01:58] Megaqwerty: Thanks for the advice, I will.

[02:06] kevinO: you would create a logical partition in the extended.. .I think [02:06] I'm having issues with gtk related software [02:06] I havn't used extended partitions in a while though [02:06] Cryoniq: I recommend you try to get support for the open source driver as it used to work for you. At least if there is a bug in the open source driver, someone can fix it. [02:06] so you may want to get a second opinion [02:06] can i just create a primary? [02:07] VousDeux there is no way people can like vista look better... [02:07] is this gutsy support now? [02:07] Hey, can somebody help me with a quick question about cloning a drive please?

[02:09] My plan was to boot into the live CD and copy and paste the contents of the Windows drive into the USB drive. Likewise, if something went wrong during installation, I would just re-copy and paste the contents of the USB drive into the Internal Drive. [02:09] Kelley: ok, just wanted to make sure you weren't going to try to boot from it. XP won't boot from a USB drive.

[02:10] whats up with that? [02:10] underdog5004: You can right-click on the taskbar, and choose preferences [02:10] Cryoniq: beryl which was originally a fork of compiz merged back into compiz so its basically the same now. [02:10] underdog5004: There you can select "Show windows from all workspaces" === user934 is now known as neopsyche [02:10] ? [02:11] :( [02:11] flick "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager" then go into the settings manager and you can delete them via gui [02:11] VousDeux there is a video in youtube, with a guy being ironic saying that ms didnt copy mac os x!have a look at that, u'll change ur mind, I garantee you :) [02:11] Kelley: that won't actually clone it. You won't get boot sector info and such. [02:11] nibsa1242b: yeah I thought it wouldnt be a problem regarding that .. [02:11] MattJ: I tried, but the only option I have is Properties, which goes to basic properties about the panel (height, color, etc..) [02:11] can you run something like the beryl manager with compiz? [02:11] Ok does anyone have an intel wireless 3945ABG adapter that is working in Gutsy? [02:11] guys... if i autoupdate my previous alpha of gutsy gibbon now, will it install the full release or will i have to reinstall?? [02:11] My fresh install of 710 is missing the network applet on the gnome-panel ... can anyone help ? [02:11] Arenlor: when i try that, i get "the composite extension is not available" when i click normal or extra. is there something else i have to install? [02:11] Arenlor it saysThe composite extension is not available [02:11] hydrogen should I use an ext2 or 3 fs? [02:11] •secher• the updates will make it the full [02:11] kevinO: ext3 [02:11] Hi ppl! I have an extra harddrive: /dev/sdb1 that I want to be automaticly mounted to "Computer" in gnome at startup. How/What do I do [02:11] thanks flats [02:11] dga, tux, "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl" [02:11] VousDeux i only use windows now, because I gotta do some work using visual studio 2005 .net!lol [02:12] ok [02:12] thanks [02:12] !automount | minus [02:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about automount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:12] Cryoniq: it shouldn't be. It sounds like the open source driver, Gusty, and X aren't co-operating. And your best bet is to find someone who can help you figure out how to file that as a bug report. [02:12] bah [02:12] nibsa1242b: I do have a set of recovery CDs that came with my Computer which returns the computer into the original partitions like it is set up now [02:12] underdog5004: Is there any kind of something on the left of all your open window in the bar? I have a seperator, try right-clicking on that [02:12] Arenlor does it matter that i have an ati graphics card? [02:12] why does it say "no volume control gstreamer plugins and/or devices found" when i try to change the volume? [02:12] on ubuntu 7.10 [02:12] anyone using dell laptops and have problems? [02:12] hydrogen, I've already put it in fstab... [02:13] is it possible to install gnome on ubuntu server without using ubuntu-desktop? i dont want everything installed.... [02:13] Gonna reboot and insert a third harddrive.. [02:13] brb [02:13] MattJ: got it figured out, thank you! [02:13] i am having a problem with nvidia restricted drivers.. i got nvidia-glx-new installed But it wont use the nvidia settings.. keeps using nv or vesa no matter how many times i tell it to change to nvidia [02:13] underdog5004: No problem [02:13] tux go into System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager and turn on fglrx or whatever it is for your graphics card [02:13] Kelley: in that case you'd probably be ok, but I can't be certain since I don't use windows that much anymore. Are you afraid that the Ubuntu install with hose your windows install? [02:13] ??????????????/ [02:13] nibsa1242b: hmm wait a sec here now.. what exactly is the glx driver named.. is it xserver-xgl? [02:13] Yeah, mainly [02:13] why does my print job say 3.5 gb? [02:13] Just the partitioning [02:13] My fresh install of 710 is missing the network applet on the gnome-panel ... can anyone help ? [02:13] Cryoniq: xserver-xgl is what I have to use because I use fglrx. [02:13] martman: ubuntu-desktop is just a package. there is no files in it really. it's a shell and doesn't really matter if it's install or not [02:14] nibsa1242b: I have never had the partitioner screw up a drive before, but there is a first time for everything I supose [02:14] fant: Try: Alt+F2, and type nm-applet, and press enter [02:14] neopsyche: that's going to take a lot of paper [02:14] fant: look under gnome sessions and see if its enabled [02:14] trying to print to pdf [02:14] i need help with my sound card / drivers [02:14] why so huge? [02:14] nibsa1242b: kk.. I think I said glx earlier.. just had a strange feeling when the it was xgl :) [02:14] Cryoniq did u actually did "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl"? [02:14] nibsa1242b: right now I dont even have a backup of the drive and so if the partition was wipped out, 80gb of music would be _gone_ [02:14] kevin0: it is .. but the applet isnt running on the bar [02:14] its already on Arenlor [02:14] Kelley: its wise to back up, just in case. Something could always happen... like a power outage right in the middle of partitioning. [02:14] mattj: nothing happens [02:14] kibble its a virtual package that will install a crapload of stuff...i just want gnome [02:15] fant: even better, add a network applet from the available applets [02:15] Cryoniq did u actually do!lol [02:15] garu_: no I checked the box in synaptic and did it that way.. [02:15] Kelley: pfft, only 80gb? buy a new drive :) [02:15] tux so you have fglrx installed and xserver-xgl installed? [02:15] nibsa1242b: Yeah, definetly. Do you have any recomendations for creating a clone? [02:15] fant: Type nm-applet in terminal, and see if it prints any errors [02:15] does anyone know how come rymbox wont play songs from a ipod? [02:15] fant i dont know why its not there, i just started using the applet one [02:15] its nicer [02:15] Cryoniq try doing that in the terminal!"sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl"! [02:15] nibsa1242b: Haha, right now the drive itself in thereis a 160gb [02:15] Cryoniq: I'm known to be somewhat dyslexic so I may have glx as xgl when you said it. I'm sure I typed xgl though. [02:15] mattj: it moves to the next line, but doesnt do or start anything [02:15] Arenlor: no I have the restricted drivers on (or is that it?) [02:15] i just network upgraded to 7.10 on my VAIO - 7.04 was very stable, but now when the machine goes idle, it displays a login prompt upon 'waking' and then freezes up - the screen goes black and displays some messages about usb... [02:15] newbie: can I open a new window on a new chat network without losing the window I'm on? how? TIA! :) [02:15] Cryoniq I think u need to enable ur restricted drivers and the system has to be up-to-date [02:16] nibsa1242b: I typed it wrong.. a lot :) [02:16] nibsa1242b: I tried clonezilla, but the interface stumped me and I was really scared I was going to screw things up big time [02:16] martman: yeah virtual package that's what I was trying to say, I know I always had lots of trouble with debian when i tried to force stuff in because they had stupid deps, I suppose it's possible [02:16] sorry, I'm on xchat [02:16] tux please turn on your restricted drivers if there are any and "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl" [02:16] martman: I usually just gave up and lived with it [02:16] garu_: restricted are enabled right now and working green.. system is up to date also.. it is a clean install from beginning of gutsy also.. not an upgrade [02:16] ouch [02:17] garu_: I see what you mean about the mac os x tiger...thanks for the enlightenment [02:17] fant: Moves to the next line, and prints fant@blah-desktop:~$, or just blank on the new line? [02:17] mattj : blank [02:17] Kelley: I'm told that partimage will create a true clone. I tried it once and it didn't like me. It made the file fine, but yelled at me when I wanted to restore. [02:17] garu_: could it be a problem the drivers are isntalled.. I mean maybe it goes wrong if installing fglrx before xserver-xgl, than other way around? [02:17] please i am having a huge problem with nvidia can someone help me [02:17] Cryoniq then try that in the terminal, u wont lose anything.lol [02:17] fant: Which would indicate that it is running... odd [02:17] OK I am real real new and was wondering if someone in here could help me out a little [02:17] VousDeux no problem :)! [02:17] mattj: i agree, but its not on my bar at all [02:17] does VMWare Server work on 7.10 yet? [02:17] garu_: just my sanity.. been trying for 8 hours or so now.. probably 10 :D [02:17] nibsa1242b: I'm looking at that now... [02:17] anyone? [02:18] Jaggs: I'm sure someone can, try asking the problem [02:18] Kelley: I've personally had the best luck with dd but your millage may vary. === martyvis3 is now known as martyvis [02:18] nibsa1242b: How would I use dd? [02:18] Arenlor: okay I did that. now what [02:18] garu_: btw.. why does my gnome die right off if I do fglrxinfo? [02:18] can anyone help me with my sound? I just upgraded to Gusty and its completely not working. Toshiba Satellite a135 series. it has a realtek chip [02:18] well my lunix is officially broken. gutsy destroyed my computer [02:18] Kelley: dd if=/dev/hda of=file.iso [02:18] kibble: bah, garbage. they really need to stop changing defaults every release. im gonna deal with apache2.2 crud first [02:18] can i boot off a live cd and access my hard drives to do a backup? [02:18] joely_, try reinstalling alsa-utils [02:18] OK I can not for the life of me get Ubuntu to recognise my wireless [02:18] Cryoniq no idea! :o [02:18] grr do i need to like add a user to samba to login after i add a folder to shared folders via samba? i cant even log in on the same damn machine ;/ [02:18] Kelley: wasn't really playing attention to your conversation, that's how dd is used [02:19] joely_, try reinstalling alsa-base as well [02:19] cesar_: sure, why not [02:19] sudo apt-get those? [02:19] hi === _a|K|a is now known as a[K]a [02:19] tux now try going into System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects and seeing if you can turn it on [02:19] joely_, you can always compile the latest alsa drivers from the site [02:19] garu_: if I try aticonfig it will coredump and have xorg.conf dissapear as well.. funny problems here :) [02:19] ahh okay [02:19] when i turn on my Compiz effects [02:19] thanks [02:19] Arenlor: how do i configure compiz now? [02:19] Cryoniq if ur having that much problems with ur gnome, u can always try reinstalling it :o [02:19] my titlebar dissapears [02:19] JensenDied: I've been upgrading to 7.10 since tribe1, haven't really had too much trouble yet [02:19] joely_, i believe the latest is 1.15rc3 [02:19] Cryoniq funny indeed :o!:) [02:19] i'll try that [02:19] garu_: hmm yeah.. this one is installed from the desktop iso.. [02:19] kibble: Ok, thanks. Does that copy all of the empty blocks though? I want to copy the 90gb of data onto a 92gb partition, but the source drive itself is 155gb [02:20] Arenlor: still doesn't work [02:20] joely_, if you need help compiling just ask [02:20] garu_: I heard there is an alternate iso also.. what is different between them? [02:20] Arenlor: its giving me the same error [02:20] Arenlor: compizconfig-settings-manager? [02:20] be right back...I'll do a restart to see if now I can play dvd's :) [02:20] okay thanks silent_ [02:20] is it possible to run 32bit ubuntu on a 64bit processor? [02:20] mmdski, yes [02:20] mmdski, yes [02:20] Kelley: it will yes, it will raw copy everything, not files, just the whole file system, since you don't know where it ends I don't think dd would be a good choice [02:20] is your wirless wep protected Jaggs? [02:20] sweet [02:20] when i turn on compiz effects, my titlebar dissapears [02:20] Just a question in Gusty my wireless button on my laptop stopped working, it was in feisty but I have found a command to turn on the wireless only problem is that I have to run it every time I start the laptop is there a file I can put it to run automatically at startup? the command is echo "1" > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled [02:20] anyone have any luck getting enemy territories: quake wars to work in ubuntu with radeon x1600? [02:20] Kelley: kibble gave a decent example... I prefer to pipe it to gzip or bzip so it zips up while its running... it works, but its slow. It makes a byte for byte copy of everything including freespace. Partimage is basically a gui interface to special uses of dd, but like I said I had issues with it... that was over a year ago though [02:20] dga did you install that? if so go to System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects and choose custom [02:20] I dont think so [02:20] do i have to do anything special? [02:20] hyi [02:20] yes, so long as it isnt an itanium...... [02:20] kibble: any idea where they threw the compiz config stuff? [02:20] anyone know how to fix it? [02:21] mmdski, 64 bit cpus are backward compatible... you can run any 32 bit OS on a 64 bit processor [02:21] how does one un-ignore a repo? [02:21] Ign http://security.ubuntu.com feisty-security/restricted Translation-en_US [02:21] what is difference between desktop iso and alternate iso? [02:21] for example [02:21] What kind of card is it [02:21] tux what visual drivers are installed by the Restricted Drivers Manager? [02:21] mmdski, with the right utilities you can also run 32 bit programs on a 64 bit os [02:21] that line came from apt-get update [02:21] I get stuff like compiz with no way to modify the settings ........ I would like to go back to compiz where I have some control over it. [02:21] JensenDied: gnome-compiz-manager or something, it's been pasted a few times [02:21] dell 1390 ... I think [02:21] Lifeisfunny, the options are in appearance [02:21] silent_, what utilities would these be? [02:21] compizconfig-settings-manager kibble, JensenDied [02:21] Jaggs: wireless card? broadcom, it's pretty well suppored [02:21] Arenlor: ATI accelerated graphics driver [02:21] yeah what he said [02:22] kibble: alright, one would think compiz-manager-gnome since thats the package name [02:22] when i turn on compiz effects, my titlebar dissapears anyone know how to fix it? [02:22] the kind that they put in this POS computer :) [02:22] kibble and nibsa1242b: Hmm... Well I guess I should do a dd copy but how could I copy directly from the internal partition to the external USB drive? [02:22] silent, there are no options to keep it from zooming [02:22] JensenDied: hence I said or something [02:22] gstgnomevfssrc.c(861): gst_gnome_vfs_src_start (): /play/source: [02:22] Could not open vfs file "http://localhost:8900/" for reading: Service not available (38) [02:22] well, sorry, Ubuntu is fine but not yet ready for prime time, I was a tech-geek years ago but by now I would expect anyone and everyone to put usability in a higher priority than anything ese [02:22] mmdski, can't remember the name of the package. It's needed to run flash/java for 64 bit... but if you're new to ubuntu, I'd strongly recommend you install 32 [02:22] else [02:22] Jaggs: i have the same card [02:22] what does this mean? [02:22] wait, neither are there... [02:22] Im starting to wonder if it is getting the card but not the signal from the router [02:22] Partimage does look easier though... [02:22] tux run this in a terminal "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" just to make sure [02:22] nibsa1242b: what is difference between desktop iso and alternate iso? [02:22] so, back to that dreary Windows [02:22] Kelley: yeah dd is really not the right way to go with this one, I would use cp -Ra from-directory to-directory [02:22] i'll have to do everything over again... [02:23] nibsa1242b, desktop boots a live version, alternate only installs [02:23] thanks [02:23] Cryoniq: alt doesn't have a gui install [02:23] Ok is it a dell wiht a broadcom 1390? [02:23] nibsa1242b, alternate offers more installation options [02:23] Kelley: I would just try to use partimage if I were you [02:23] I would like to have it simply fade when opening and have everything open in the center not 'inteligently' as if I need everything to open in a corner [02:23] kibble: ah.. thanks [02:23] no its HP [02:23] when i turn on compiz effects, my titlebar dissapears anyone know how to fix it? [02:23] edubuntu: 1390 is a dell wifi card [02:23] edubuntu, I'm talking to you on the 1390 [02:23] the miniLAN Broadcom cards ARE EVIL [02:23] manufactured by broadcom? right [02:23] EVIL I SAY! [02:23] edubuntu, you need help getting it set up? [02:24] element it's pretty common, and easy to fix, but I can't recall any urls of the top of my brain [02:24] I have a air force one a BCM4318 [02:24] Does anyone know of a way to see joysticks and calibrate them in 7.10? [02:24] Just a question in Gusty my wireless button on my laptop stopped working, it was in feisty but I have found a command to turn on the wireless only problem is that I have to run it every time I start the laptop is there a file I can put it to run automatically at startup? the command is echo "1" > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled [02:24] Nope jaggs [02:24] adriyel you using gutsy? [02:24] if you remember pm me or write it here or whatver [02:24] Jaggs, you need help setting up your 1390? [02:24] i installed gusty finally, but there is no compiz-fusion :[ [02:24] Cryoniq: alternate allows more options, doesn't give you a live cd to work from, you can upgrade from the alternate, and the alternate runs better on slower machines [02:24] iyes I do [02:24] i just want it fixed [02:24] Arenlor: well ive installed compizconfig-settings-manager (not added by default for some reason) and compiz-kde and there isnt file to run in sight =/ [02:24] nibsa1242b: ah [02:24] I want ubuntu to automatically mount my 500GB ntfs disk and my 320GB EXT3 disk and show them in "Computer". Can someone tell me? [02:24] installed gutsy, installed wine, ran regedit, error: X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) [02:25] Arenlor: okay now what? [02:25] epico, its there somewhrere lol [02:25] Jaggs, I'm running one right now so I can help you get it running in about 5 minutes, want to join another channel so its easier to talk? [02:25] I can use this program "luvcview" I got from http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/, and I can see myself on my webcam fine. But when I try to use xsane, or ekiga..it doesn't work. [02:25] For those of you using ATI, install xgl-server and compiz [02:25] yes please [02:25] edubuntu: the BCM4318 is one of the cards that doesn't always work... esp if its rev 02 [02:25] and Ubuntu will take care of the rest [02:25] Jaggs, join #1390 [02:25] no sessions to setup [02:25] how do i configure compiz so i have the cube? when i enable desktop cube and rotate cube, my 4 workspaces are reduced to two workspaces and i'm left with a 2d thin thing with a desktop on both sides. [02:25] element, how do i enable it? [02:25] kibble and nibsa1242b: The command line way of doing it seems abit to complicated for me, so Partimage is looking like the way to go. I found a guide for using it with the Live CD so I think I will just do that. One question though: Will I be able to read the individual contents of that image in the case of the restore failing? [02:25] if i do a straight ubuntu install instead of an update and don't format the partition, will it still kill everything in my home dir? [02:25] Which mine is [02:25] Its working fine [02:25] epico: I'll give you the link in a sec [02:25] "Error while opening video device USB2.0 Camera", is what Ekiga tells me [02:25] umm how do I do that> [02:25] tux now see if it runs again [02:25] element, thanks :] [02:25] Does anyone know of a way to see joysticks and calibrate them in 7.10? [02:25] I just downloaded the windows drivers and aimd ndiswraooer at them [02:25] this is currently obnoxious [02:25] I'm having an issue with my Dlink DWL AG530 wireless network card. I can connect to my wireless network properly when I am in roaming mode, but when I change the IP address to static, it won't connect. [02:25] <^^wizard^^> So is firefoix stable on 64-bit systems? or have there been a lot of bugs? [02:26] epico: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=2754 [02:26] arenlor: nope [02:26] ^^wizard^^: No issues here [02:26] thats how i did it [02:26] Jaggs, "/join #1390" [02:26] anyone know why nm-applet will not start ? [02:26] grr do i need to like add a user to samba to login after i add a folder to shared folders via samba? i cant even log in on the same damn machine ;/ [02:26] Kelley: never used partimage, but if it uses dd linux thinks it's a drive, even if it's just a file. so yes [02:26] JensenDied run ccsm in a terminal [02:26] I think ubuntu is set to use v4l by default, that is the kernel module right? But it needs to use the uvc kernel module. [02:26] Kelley: I think so. I think you can mount it as a loopback device. However, you might not be able to do that if you choose to compress the file. (<- unsure about this last point) [02:26] silent tel me how and I will [02:26] ^^wizard^^: Firefox is running smoothly on all my 64-bit systems. [02:26] tux, this is really strange, did you upgrade or do a clean install? [02:26] turkish help? [02:26] Arenlor: talk about intuitive names... thanks [02:26] "assistive technology support has been requested for this session" anyone get that before? [02:26] Arenlor: what? [02:26] Jaggs, I did [02:26] fant: did you run it from command line? does it produce an error? [02:26] Jaggs, "/join #1390" [02:26] anyone? if i do a straight install without formatting my partitions, will ubuntu still kill everything in my home dir? [02:26] damn it, I can't hibernate anymore with gutsy and suspend is so flakey [02:26] fant: do you get any feedback when you try it on the command line? [02:26] Seems everyone is talking about nic's now [02:26] clean install Arenlor [02:26] kibble: produces no errors .. acts like it starts but nothing happens [02:27] "/join #1390 [02:27] kibble: Kelley: as far as I know partimage uses dd, cuts out all the empty space, and allows for compression [02:27] kibble and nibsa1242b: Ok, I don't have any need to compress it, so I guess it should work then. I will try and read the image though and make sure it works before partitioning [02:27] fant: did you install network-manager? [02:27] Jaggs, without the quote [02:27] <^^wizard^^> ok, then I'd imagine its either a hardware/driver issue on my end or some problem with instalation getting a lot of lockups and freezes [02:27] adriyel you said about miniLAN being evil? gutsy comes with native drivers that completely suck for it, but they do work [02:27] fepoo: I think in the partitioner, you can tell which partitions you format. [02:27] turkish help? [02:27] sorry [02:27] kibble: its already installed [02:27] Arenlor: I have an ATI Radeon X1300 === DM is now known as Delvien [02:27] ^^wizard^^: what type of machine? [02:27] mark_: but if i don't format, will it kill everything in my home dir anyway? [02:27] So Sorry about that I didnt realise I had the quote in there [02:27] Arenlor: Could that be part of the problem? [02:27] fant: did it include the gnome part to? [02:27] or will it just update over what packages are there [02:27] tux I have an ATI Radeon too, so not likely [02:27] Kelley: just remember that if you do need to mount the image, do it read only. [02:27] feboo: I think only formatting kills it. [02:27] k good [02:27] kibble: sure did [02:28] I said I was real new... But I will love you forever. [02:28] Still: "I want ubuntu to automatically mount my 500GB ntfs disk and my 320GB EXT3 disk and show them in "Computer". Can someone tell me?" [02:28] <^^wizard^^> Intel Core2Quad with an invidia 7300gt [02:28] Jaggs, chat in the other channel [02:28] I have successfully installed Ubuntu while preseving /home before.

[02:28] grr do i need to like add a user to samba to login after i add a folder to shared folders via samba? i cant even log in on the same damn machine ;/ [02:28] I also like the full clockwise turn when minimizing the window [02:28] tux try "sudo apt-get install compiz" and let me know if maybe it adds a package or something [02:28] how do i mount my windows partition? [02:28] Arenlor, why'd you ask me if I was using gutsy? [02:28] what does this mean - 2.1 install VLC [02:28] ok why am I not showing here???? Can you see what I am typing at least? [02:28] login with root [02:28] cp /the/package/vlc-install-utf8-pid-getport.tgz / [02:28] tar zxvf vlc-install-utf8-pid-getport.tgz [02:28] * Lifeisfunny is going through withdrawals [02:28] ^^wizard^^: obviously a desktop, hand built or hp or something? [02:28] Everyone has said my wireless light would be on when i got it setup actually it does not stay "on" is it usual for them to be a steadylight when loaded or is it supposed to flash like a link light on a nic? In xp it was on for wifi on and off for wifioff now it flashes with packets sent. [02:28] K3nt: That's than FAQ. [02:28] adriyel #ubuntu-ops for operator/abuse questions. NOT here.

[02:29] k3nt: See ubuntuguide.org [02:29] i installed w32codecs but mplayer still can't play real media files due to missing avisynth.dll. Xine plays them just fine. any ideas? [02:29] mark_: during install you have to tell the partitioner to mount the existing /home as /home [02:29] edubuntu: it's the driver, mine does that to [02:29] adriyel because anything < gutsy you have to find and install it separately which is even worse [02:29] silent you in here? [02:29] jaggs, you have to select the tag [02:29] warbler: That sounds right. [02:29] tab [02:29] I just upgraded ubuntu & now my comp turns off every time I leave for an hour... how do i stop this? [02:29] Ahh [02:29] Hi there. I just installed fresh gutsy and I think i didn't partition very well. :( [02:29] nibsa1242b: Why do I need to mount it read only and how do I make sure it does so? [02:29] Jaggs, open up the other channel [02:29] Jaggs: it's like yelling into a crowd [02:29] I did [02:29] Thx kibb [02:30] how do i mount my ipod [02:30] Jaggs, what are you chatting in? pidgin/xchat? [02:30] damnit! [02:30] mark_: my three reinstallls agree [02:30] edward: review System: Preferences: Power Management [02:30] anyone know a good lamp meta package? [02:30] bonsoir [02:30] thanks [02:30] any other ideas guys /> [02:30] my sound card is not working on ubuntu.. [02:30] I am having problems upgrading to gutsy, can someone help? [02:30] edubuntu: nothing for lamp I assume [02:30] racarter: what kind of card is it? === jvon-sleep is now known as jvon [02:30] !ask [02:30] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [02:30] and i think my network card.. if i unplug the network cable i dont think i will get wireless access [02:30] y a personne de francais [02:30] jvon: I think most of the traffic in here is because of that [02:30] how do i get locale support to apps like ssh [02:30] !fr [02:31] !fr | milkshake [02:31] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [02:31] milkshake: please see above [02:31] honestly i am not sure... let me see if i can find out [02:31] How can I get xsane to use v4l2? and NOT v4l? [02:31] can somebody check this out and let me know if my partitions are OK? I think i screw up partitioning please. http://pastebin.com/m449c871 [02:31] when im copying files, some files have messed up filenames due to special chars [02:31] Kelley: because its a byte for byte backup, and you want to pull a file out of it you don't want things like access times recorded and such. However, I don't think partimage is really meant to be used in that manner. (to pull out individual files) [02:31] racarter: laptop or desktop? [02:31] laptop [02:31] nibsa1242b: Oh, ok. Well regaurdless, how would I mount it read only? [02:31] tux try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall compiz xserver-xgl fglrx" [02:32] the upgrade log shows this..Complete: 1 Local: 0 IsTrusted: 0 FileSize: 1924684 DestFile:'/tmp/tmpByfG9g/backports/release-upgrader-dpkg_1.14.5ubuntu11.2_i386.udeb' DescURI: 'http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/r/release-upgrader-dpkg/release-upgrader-dpkg_1.14.5ubuntu11.2' [02:32] 2007-10-18 23:17:10,025 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' [02:32] is NOT trusted [02:32] mark I can't find "power management" in the start menu, what is it under again? [02:32] element, i have an ATI, and ive had problems running compiz-fusion since the day i got it [02:32] how come my ipod songs wont play in rb? [02:32] my "/" mount point, doesn't even have a ype "ext3" according to kdiskfree [02:32] Kelley: just look up mount (for example man mount)... you'll already need to look that up to figure out how to mount it loopback anyway [02:32] tux97, are they aac? [02:32] org: Looks like about an 80 gig drive on a single partition with a 160 gig external drive, approximately. [02:33] nope [02:33] mp3 [02:33] Arenlor: says it can't find package fglrx [02:33] hrm [02:33] anyone know if the wacom tablet drivers are initiated automatically gutsy as they were in feisty? [02:33] mark, what about those 500mb partitions, what are those === nuu is now known as nu [02:33] when i turn on compiz effects, my titlebar dissapears anyone know how to fix it? === nu is now known as nuu [02:33] mark, and why doesnt my /dev/sda1 device which is at mount point "/" doesnt have type "ext3" :( [02:33] this channel is chaotic [02:33] edward: Just look in the scrollback of the IRC channel. I gave the location above, at least for Feisty. [02:33] nibsa1242b: popped in the xserver-xgl now.. and I got lots of black fat lines and cant even see some names of people in here because there are garbage over their names.. but.. this is what is suddenly in my xorg log file: (II) fglrx(0): [pci] find AGP GART [02:33] (EE) fglrx(0): [agp] unable to acquire AGP, error "xf86_ENODEV" [02:33] (EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP [02:33] PM me if you know how [02:33] xIke_ this channel has 1277 chatters [02:33] okey [02:34] xIke i just upgraded to gutsy [02:34] Fasma, yeah, I love it :D [02:34] org: If not ext3, then what? [02:34] xIke_ tough to get some answers though [02:34] it says "?" [02:34] nibsa1242b: Wait, what is loopback? Why will I need it? [02:34] any idea why my upgrade is failing? [02:34] tux97, did it work in feisty? [02:34] so really, all I need to do now is move my kicker panel to the top, and the k-menu to the right, and it will look more like mac ox x tiger than it does vista [02:34] I am having problems installing 7.10. It hangs up at 85% Is this common? [02:34] Fasma, it can be hard to get answers no matter how many people are here [02:34] i didn't try it untill now [02:34] ill just go to the forums [02:34] element: http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=when+i+turn+on+compiz+effects%2C+my+titlebar+dissapears&btnG=Google+Search&meta= [02:34] thanks guys [02:34] org: What does "cat /etc/mtab" say about it? [02:34] mark, can i send you a picture please? [02:34] xIke_ if it was 500 then maybe the newbies would have some more chance for help [02:34] How do I get the UUID of a harddrive? [02:35] Arenlor: says it can't find package fglrx [02:35] tux97, so it sees them, it just can't play them? [02:35] mark_ way to go, people want to send you pics [02:35] Cryoniq: I believe that there is an issue with AGP, the fglrx driver, and any 2.6.x kernel. You need additional drivers for your mobo for it to work. [02:35] minus You don't need the uuid, just put /dev/blah1 instead [02:35] org: Yes. [02:35] ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [02:35] correct xIke [02:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions this only shows for older versions of ubuntu [02:35] Fasma, agreed. I think they should open a few more channels and recommend that users go there. at least divide up the chaos [02:35] kibble: ha. [02:35] mark_, accept it [02:35] unstable, the fstab is better with UUID instead of /dev/ path [02:35] tux97, hold on, I'll try it with my ipod [02:35] is there a terminal command for the screensaver? The GUI just ignores all my selections! [02:35] xIke_ yes, usability is not a concept of priority in the Linux community [02:36] Cryoniq: I'm not too familiar with running ati cards with fglrx over agp... all my comps are pcie. [02:36] ok thanks [02:36] nibsa1242b: hmm but it use agp without the xserver-xgl and works fine.. hmm [02:36] tux it's xorg-driver-fglrx and xserver-xorg-video-at now apparently [02:36] minus ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [02:36] minus: and it's impossible to edit by hand [02:36] minus: better how? [02:36] it's the same thing [02:36] is there anything wrong with "echo 's@66.219.172.87@pl.envisionrx.com@g' > /tmp/sedscr | find . -type f | xargs runsed -f /tmp/sedscr" ? [02:36] Kelley loopback is the ability to mount a file as a drive. [02:36] damn, have to plug machine in [02:36] mark_, http://pastebin.com/m278262ca [02:36] I have agp ati and it's work fine [02:36] org: Looks like I need to register my nick. one minute. [02:36] mark, why you don't accept dcc send. [02:36] :) [02:36] Arenlor: so what do i need to do now? [02:36] wirechief, The drive isn't there... so thats not the way... [02:36] nibsa1242b: Oh, ok. That makes sense [02:37] org: That shows ext3 for sda1. Tha'ts good. [02:37] mark_, is my partitions are OK you think? I'm pretty new and the only thing that confuse me right now, is partitioning good:) [02:37] unstable, If I move the connectors to the drives inside my computer, the right drive will be mounted on the same spot anyhow, cause it goes after the UUID and not /dev/ path.. === mark_ is now known as markstos [02:37] nibsa1242b: Alright, well I guess I am going to try PartImage then. It looks like it should work for what I want it to do. [02:37] no eth0 in gutsy on t20 fresh install, edgy was fine, the gutsy alt install cd started networking fine [02:37] mark_, please accept my dcc send, I beg you. [02:38] what is gobuntu? [02:38] Kelley: basically when you loop mount something as a loop device it allows you to see it as a drive. Think of it as a "virtual drive" as you will. You want to mount it ro (read only) since you wouldn't want to change any of the files in the image. [02:38] !gobuntu | Negra [02:38] Negra: gobuntu is a freedom-focused flavour of Ubuntu. See http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/130 for more. [02:38] if my system will run from the live cd then i can assume that it will run after a full install right? [02:38] I am downloading 7.10 right now, would compiz be enabled by default? === markstos is now known as mark_ [02:38] Kelley: PartImage should def work. and good luck with your install [02:38] if you "sudo apt-get install --reinstall compiz xserver-xgl xorg-driver-fglrx xserver-xorg-video-ati" it should reinstall them for you afterwords you should be able to use it [02:38] nibsa1242b and kibble: Thanks so much for your help. One last question though, when Ubuntu is installed, how do I tell Grub to load windows by default? [02:38] do i have wrong drivers, or is can i just not run Desktop effects on a laptop with Intel x3100 graphics? Its wierd because i have used it before.. [02:38] org: I can't. My nick isn't registered. [02:38] mark_, Ok one second [02:38] nibsa1242b: hmm then this line shows up further down.. (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable.. aiglx shouldn't be in this.. aiglx is used under kde if I understood it right? [02:38] org: and I can't remember my password. [02:38] i'll upload somewhere [02:38] bad news tux97: it works fine for me [02:39] \nick santa [02:39] This is my Dad's computer, and I am installing Ubuntu for him to try out, but he still mainly want to use Windows. [02:39] :(( [02:39] Arenlor: so what do i need to do now? [02:39] Kelley: I think it auto configures grub for your windows install, but I'm not sure. [02:39] tux did you do that line that I told you? [02:39] tux97, you using USB 2 I assume? [02:39] Cryoniq: AIGLX is used with Nvidia and the free drivers. Its not used with fglrx. [02:39] nibsa1242b: That works. In the event that it doesn't, how would I change it? [02:39] Do I need to get a special xsane to use v4l2, instead of v4l? Or does the default xsane that comes with Gutsy work with v4l2, and if it works..how? [02:39] Kelley: it will auto config but it will set ubuntu as default [02:39] i'm tryin to like linux alot and get rid of my dual boot with winbloze lol [02:39] no takers on the wacom issue? [02:39] oh now i see it sorry Arenlor [02:39] Hi room. I am having [problems installing Gutsy-it hangs at 85%. Is this common and is there a work arounf? I am using the alt install cd [02:39] Kelley: it'll add windows to the grub automatically [02:39] how do i know if i'm using usb 2 with gutsy [02:39] nibsa1242b: ah hmm.. [02:40] Kelley: i think you have to modify the grub.conf [02:40] etank: How would I do that? [02:40] any idea how to get system beep sounding in feisty. visual beep works when i hit Ctrl-G in a console - but no sound. sound is on and working in general [02:40] do i have wrong drivers, or is can i just not run Desktop effects on a laptop with Intel x3100 graphics? Its wierd because i have used it before.. [02:40] Kelley: worst case, you'd boot up with the live cd and edit GRUBs config. Other wise, it might just boot you into Ubuntu and then you'd have to setup GRUB to recongize your windows partition as bootable from there. Its not that difficult to do. [02:41] tux97, so when you plug your ipod in, does rhythmbox automatically openup? [02:41] !blacklist [02:41] To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [02:41] yes [02:41] nibsa1242b: another thing I been thinking off is.. before I installed gutsy on this Intel bonanza intel cpu box etc.. I disabpled plug'n'play OS in bios.. think I heard one should do that.. can that have something to do with the agp error? [02:41] mark_, here check please. http://shell.lomag.net/~org/Screenshot.png [02:41] Kelley: but I'm like 90% sure that it should just work [02:41] i think hold on let me retry it [02:41] Kelley: i think that it is in the /boot dir [02:41] Arenlor: ok it did that. now what? [02:41] Does anybody know how to disable the internal PC speaker? Mine beeps when I hit, for example, backspace when there's no more characters to delete such as in pidgin [02:41] tux try turning it on now [02:42] nibsa1242b and etank: Ok, thanks alot. I'll do some more research on grub, but all of you have been extreemely helpful [02:42] Arenlor: no luck :( [02:42] Cryoniq: I don't know, I haven't had a computer with in years. I have plug & play turned on in my bios. [02:42] dammit i wanna use Compiz Fusion! [02:42] What is the quickest way to get a FTP server up in Ubuntu? [02:42] kevleviathan: Mute it? [02:42] I can't find it in the sound mixer [02:42] tux I am not sure what's wrong with it [02:42] !ftp | eugo [02:42] eugo: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [02:42] Arenlor: let me try rebooting [02:42] brb [02:42] anyone know why my system will run from the live cd but will not get to a desktop after an actual install? [02:42] nibsa1242b: ah hmm.. going to fiddle some more and enable it again.. thanks for answering all my questions :) Very helpful :) [02:43] !ftpd [02:43] FTP servers: !ftpd, !proftpd, !pure-ftpd, !twoftpd, !vsftpd, !MuddleFTPd, !wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: !PureAdmin, !GProftpd (for !GNOME), !KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP [02:43] can anyone direct me to the correct channel for asking a compiz + conky question? (who says dudes can't ask for directions...lol) [02:43] What's needed to enable "screen2" to get xinerama back up and running under 7.10? [02:43] it works automaticly rb opens up when i plug it in i have mp3s on it [02:43] kevleviathan, system, prefs,sound,system beep [02:43] Kelley: at the least the install will should allow you to boot into Ubuntu. If Grub doesn't have a windows option in the menu its not that difficult to add one. Grub is great. I love being able to have a custom image at boot (I have one of my dogs). [02:43] Cryoniq: np, hope you get it figured out [02:43] awesome! thanks so much misnix [02:43] Could someone give me a hand with this ...This the my first attempt at install a game in linux without the using the (add/remove app). First off im trying to install scourge, It gives me 5 steps to install it which are (1. tar -xzvf scourge-XX.tar.gz [02:43] 2. cd scourge-XX [02:43] 3. ./configure [02:43] 4. make [02:43] 5. ./src/scourge). Iv done No. 1&2 but now I dont know what No.3 means [02:43] it shows a red cricle with a white line through it [02:43] ThePub, I suggest you handle it as if you never had two screens before [02:43] Now problem number 2 is that I can't get my Broadcom wireless to work, anybody have experience setting that up in Gutsy? [02:44] mark_, hi. [02:44] nibsa1242b: yeah.. otherwize I have a Nvidia GeForce 6200 Turbo Edition in my other box. [02:44] how do i install a decoder? [02:44] Just a question in Gusty my wireless button on my laptop stopped working, it was in feisty but I have found a command to turn on the wireless only problem is that I have to run it every time I start the laptop is there a file I can put it to run automatically at startup? the command is echo "1" > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled [02:44] XXer when you've cd'd there type ./configure [02:44] Pelo: that's not really helpful, especially if you're saying give up on dual monitors. [02:44] kevleviathan: which Broadcom card [02:44] kevleviathan: i think you need ndiswrapper for that [02:44] that didnt work [02:44] org: ? [02:44] my AWN and deatop settings manager is not working [02:44] mark_, http://shell.lomag.net/~org/Screenshot.png [02:44] kevleviathan: or something called fwcutter (i think that is it) [02:44] ndiswrapper worked for me [02:44] XXer, first you need to install build essential sudo apt-get install build-essential [02:44] mp3 [02:44] err TurboForce edition.. ^^ [02:45] etank: i've tried installing that (successfully), and I go into restricted drivers and it enables the firmware properly [02:45] nibsa1242b: Haha, ok. One last question actually. Right now, when the computer boots up into the Windows partition after the bios, I see a little menu that has two options. One for Windows XP and the other for Windows XP recovery console or something like that. Is that on the Master Boot Record? Will that get screwed up at all? I know the recovery console does not have its own partition [02:45] I'm getting this error when trying to run restricted-manager: http://pastebin.ca/743065 [02:45] however, once I reboot, it stops working [02:45] !mp3 | tux97 [02:45] tux97: 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 [02:45] Cryoniq: my understanding is that support for Nvidia cards is much better then ATI currently. However, there is supposed to be an official open ATI driver coming out soon. [02:45] wow lol [02:45] compiz sucks [02:45] XXer: you may need to run autogen.sh first - read the INSTALL file (or README) for instructions [02:45] element in what way? [02:45] titlebar dissapeared [02:45] nibsa1242b: I experience it like that also. Yeah.. I heard there is one on the way.. :) [02:45] and terminal is just a white screen [02:45] element, nvidia card? [02:45] yeah [02:45] element, candy rots your teeth, eye candy does it to your brain [02:46] Weird thing is that as soon as I enable the firmware, the light turns on (the hardware LED) but shortly after turns off. The card shows up in network properties until I reboot, where it goes away [02:46] element, did you do nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24 [02:46] Pelo, my college is bad for students if that's true [02:46] element, that's just a decorator issue ask in #ubuntu-effect and they will tell you how to fix it [02:46] ok - I use conky and compiz in gusty. When I load conky from terminal everything is great. When conky loads on startup, compiz puts shadows on the conky window and the window is not 'underneith' all other windows, like it is when I run from terminal (after killing the startup instance) [02:46] yeah [02:46] * Cryoniq heads over to the bios.. maybe brb [02:46] Pelo: ha. well put. :) [02:46] Kelley: I don't know. It doesn't sound like an mbr thing to me. It sounds like a windows thing, and should probably be fine. [02:46] Ok thanks Ill give thoes a try THanks [02:46] element, and which nvidia card and driver are you using [02:46] Arenlor: its kind of working now. I wan't compiz fusion now :D [02:46] nibsa1242b: Ok, thanks alot [02:46] Arenlor: there are no fancy effects but its running on extra right now [02:46] sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [02:46] Kelley: np [02:46] I'm off to actually do all of this...thanks and bye all. [02:47] element, more importantly how are you starting compiz fusion [02:47] i'm having problems with network manager [02:47] tux, do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed?

If the fglrx kernel module detects that the kernel agpgart support is active, it will automatically use that even if its internal AGP support is requested in order to avoid conf [02:57] licts that can cause problems under some circumstances." [02:58] what's the difference between alternate and main isos? Is one faster than the other? [02:58] (For gutsy) [02:58] alternative has text-based installer [02:58] !alternate | bluebanana [02:58] bluebanana: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [02:58] hi all [02:58] element, ok i dont normally do support on this channel since this is ubuntu in general you may want to go to #compiz-fusion for support there i wont be ther today because i am installing gutsy [02:58] I peronally prefer the alternate disk, bluebanana [02:58] hi [02:58] might someone be able to help me with my problems conscerning my 7.10 upgrade? [02:58] hey all. I just did a fresh install of a 7.10 server, what's the best way to get either gnome or kde, but no kdm/gdm ? [02:58] Arenlor: it didn't It gave me an AttributeError. (AttributeError: 'compizconfig.Plugin' object has no attribute 'Initialized') [02:58] so, since i'm no expert, i should go for the Main/Desktop cd, yes? [02:58] MenZa: why do you prefere alternate? [02:58] dt1, just ask, please don't ask to ask. [02:58] funkyb: would you happen to be able to help me out for a sec on how you set up ndiswrapper? [02:58] what do i have to kill to restart wifi connection? [02:58] How do I run 32 bit programs on 64 bit linux? [02:59] element, however there are several other support people there today so that would be the best place to go at this point [02:59] nibsa1242b: re: file sharing, try ubuntuguide.org, http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty#How_to_share_folders_the_easy_way [02:59] k [02:59] I can't get miro to update. It worked fine in feisty [02:59] bluebanana: I find it's less... uh, distractive. And it's easy enough to use. It's got a better partition editor and such. If you've never installed Ubuntu before, go with the desktop CD. [02:59] paradizelost: just install ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop and turn off gdm or kdm [02:59] i noticed if i choose visual effects my gnome takes us about 400M .. outch! system gets really slow.. wasnt like this w/ beryl on fiesty fawn [02:59] apparently, using diskmounter, No usable windows/mac partitions found [02:59] and now when I try to load [02:59] Cryoniq: I think that might be part of the problem, but I don't know how to fix it. Sounds like you'd need to compile your own kernel. [02:59] any tip to fix that? [02:59] it tells me that I need to update [02:59] element, you can talk to severl people adamk if he is there crdlb jupiter1tx or amphi [02:59] mark_: I tried that. Didn't work. [02:59] dt1: the mirrors are getting hit very hard today. try several times, several hours apart [02:59] Why does the VLC in gutsy NOT pause/play when I hit spacebar? [02:59] Ryuho: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [02:59] It did in feisty. [02:59] mark_ Hmm, do you know why I wouldn't be able to Device Manager? It opens for a second and then closes [02:59] but update won't allow me to click the version [02:59] Arenlor: it didn't It gave me an AttributeError. (AttributeError: 'compizconfig.Plugin' object has no attribute 'Initialized') so now what? [02:59] tux that seems to be a bug, report it on launchpad [03:00] nibsa1242b: didn't work how? [03:00] mark_ that doesn't work [03:00] Amaranth you on? [03:00] element, jupiter1tx has extensive nvidia experience [03:00] nibsa1242b: yeah.. =( and only kernel i compiled was in slakware like 10 years ago.. once.. :D [03:00] Arenlor: how am i going to do that?

It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ [03:00] is there someone else who an help me get my wireless card up and running? [03:00] dt1: yes, if you are trying to do an apt-get update and such, the servers are getting hit hard today. try tomorrow or so. [03:00] Cryoniq: I still think your best bet is to use the open source driver somehow. [03:00] Why is roaming mode for wireless cards so impossibly AWESOME...but manual sucks arse? [03:01] Jaggs: I'm having the same problem [03:01] How do I run 32 bit programs on 64 bit linux? [03:01] oh [03:01] Jaggs: you using a broadcom wireless? [03:01] nibsa1242b: Try asking on a Samba or SMB mailing list. That's the file sharing software [03:01] ok [03:01] thanks [03:01] I am trying to change my X resolution with gvidm, and it usually works, but sometimes it ceases to work until I restart my X server, and there's no error message or such to debug the problem [03:01] nibsa1242b: also explains why it worked in feisty probably.. below this kernel version. [03:01] does anyone know if there's a FAQ/manual for setting up the compizfusion cube desktop? i'm trying to enable it via the "compizconfig settings manager", but it's not doing anything [03:01] yes I am [03:01] Ugh, I ran into a problem using Partimage to clone my drive [03:01] hi all... [03:01] tux https://launchpad.net/ubuntu [03:01] Does anyone know why I would not be able to open the Device Manager? It closes as soon as it opens.

Click the networking applet icon, or 'man ifconfig' on hte command line. [03:01] nibsa1242b: was thinking about that during restart.. but I think it is the same problem with the open source driver also.. [03:02] Its asking me for the image file to create/use. I want to put the image on an external drive but I don't know how to tell it to do that. [03:02] Ryuho: you should be able to handle it graphically. [03:02] Can anybody help me? [03:02] maybe if we can find someone to help us they can knock us both out in one shot [03:02] so i should just get text based installer, if i want speed yes? [03:02] if anyone knows of how to fix a problem with dvd-r burning with sata (phillips drive) using amd64 version of gutsy with a SiI 3114 chipset, i'd kind of like to get this working. [03:02] mark_ ok ill try [03:02] bluebanana: or if you have oddball hardware [03:02] can someone help me out with this error? "No usable windows/mac partitions found" [03:02] !ask [03:02] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [03:02] I have upgraded a previously perfectly running 7.04 to 7.10 (running as a virtual box VM on windose host) but it now fails to start xserver, I can ping the machine from elsewhere but unfortunatelyhave not enabled ssh yet so can't get in. Any suggestions ? [03:02] mark_: besides it doesn't tell me what ports to open [03:02] Yeah, bluebanana. [03:02] I got a new HDD. Now I want to copy the old one to the new 1:1 . Are there any suggestions, how I can do that (Including Partitions and MBR) ? [03:02] K3nt: Well, what's the problem? [03:02] Jaggs: what methods have you tried? I've tried the BCM43xx_fwcutter firmware which won't work, also the ndiswrapped method which also doesn't work [03:03] nibsa1242b: open all ports temporarily for testing. [03:03] Does anyone know why I would not be able to open the Device Manager? It closes as soon as it opens. [03:03] ARe the hard drives exactly identical watchme? [03:03] watchme: dd is the command you want if they are the exact same drive [03:03] im trying to mount my vista partition but its not getting recognized (above error) [03:03] nibsa1242b: both computers are on the same network? [03:03] K3nt: Ah. What are you using to mount it? [03:03] MenZa: build-essentials was the one :) [03:03] Anybody? [03:03] is there something I can do during the boot process ? it drops to text boot saying xserver stopped 6 time in 90 sec waiting for 2 min [03:03] paradizelost: nope unfortunaly they arent [03:03] Kelley: Just ask. Don't ask to ask. [03:03] Cryoniq: feisty was still 2.6.x; you can try booting with a feisty kernel... I remember someone saying that fixed the fglrx suspend issue [03:03] knix: Oh yeah; that installs build tools and stuff. :) [03:03] ive got the wrapper in there and then i attempted to get some drivers for it... Ive done all I can do on my own [03:03] watchme: generally i use ghost for that [03:03] MenZa: sudo bash diskmounter [03:03] the old one is an 40GB IDE and the new one is a 160GB SATA [03:03] How do I run 32 bit programs on 64 bit linux? [03:03] well you need to create the partitions and then copy the files with a live cd [03:03] I have gotta habe someone who knows the system better than I do [03:04] Mark_: I asked above, but nobody answered :P [03:04] Why does the VLC in gutsy NOT pause/play when I hit spacebar? [03:04] K3nt: Sounds like you might have to mount it manually. [03:04] then copy the master boot record with dd. (i don't remember the details) [03:04] mark_: yes, both on the same network, both running Gusty, and I wanted to do it with NFS but I don't mind going SMB [03:04] or just install grub again [03:04] Hi...I am installing on an HP dv6646us, and it is hanging up at 85%...can anyone help me get past this point? [03:04] maybe you guys can help me now, when I did the _upgrade_ from 7.04 to 7.10, the system didn't have my monitors in their list of monitors (under Screen resolution). I have NEC MultiSync FP2141SB and an AOC 9Klr. What must I do? [03:04] Is there a way to play password protected MMS streams? [03:04] ader10: there should'nt be anything to do, just run them [03:04] MenZa: good thing i have free time, :) [03:04] Jaszbo, is it stuck at "scanning"? [03:04] Jaszbo: Using the LiveCD? [03:04] nibsa1242b: doesn't hurt to try and rip xorg-glx, the restricted drivers and make sure the open source is only in system. remember that under feisty one couldnt have any trace from the restriced while the open source was there or it would fail for some reason. [03:04] Does anyone know why I would not be able to open the Device Manager? It closes as soon as it opens. [03:04] K3nt: Right; second. [03:04] I'm trying to figure out how to tell Partition Image to make the image of my disk onto a usb drive [03:04] No the alt install cd [03:04] paradizelost: is there an "opensource-Ghost" ? [03:04] I'm just worried that I'll have problems with my monitors when i do a fresh/clean install. [03:04] ader10, I don't think that's possible...is it? [03:04] nibsa1242b: i recommend NFS, but samba is easier [03:04] err.. xserver-xgl etc.. totaly wrong of me above there.. :D [03:04] nibsa1242b: To do NFS, you need to have exactly matched user IDs. [03:04] The only exception might be [03:05] watchme: never looked, i've got legit licenses, and have for a very long time [03:05] !flash64 > ader10 [03:05] I'm having an issue with my Dlink DWL AG530 wireless network card. It works just fine in roaming mode, but when I try and configure it manually, I either get no connection shown in 'iwconfig' or no IP from DHCP (I am trying to configure a static IP address for my WPA wireless network). [03:05] Uhumm... K3nt, the guide seems to be missing, so I'll talk you through it [03:05] Kelley: You are trying to make a disk image to be a live file system on a USB drive? [03:05] mark_: not necessarily, you can open up by ip, to have full rights [03:05] mark_: I need to know the other computers user ID or both have to login with the same ID? [03:05] K3nt: Do you know the location of the device, e.g. /dev/sdax, /dev/sdbx, /dev/hdax etc.? [03:05] MenZa: ok let me register my nick, that way we dont muck up the channel. back in a sec === K3nt is now known as K3nto [03:06] using do-release-upgrade on my server install i get this: Failed http://archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates/main tzdata 2007h-0ubuntu0.7.10 [03:06] is that going to be a problem?

[03:06] No, we'll be staying in the channel, so others may benefit from it as well---don't worry. :) [03:06] mark_: No, I am trying to create an image of an internal drive and put that image onto an external USB drive for backup, using the Ubuntu live CD and Partition Image === RB1234 is now known as RobotBanana === joeb3 is now known as joeb3_ [03:06] !xdtv [03:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about xdtv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:06] Does anyone know why I would not be able to open the Device Manager? It closes as soon as it opens. [03:06] aebrahim: yah, there's a problem with that. the mirrors are getting hit hard, but if you keep trying, you should get it [03:06] guys im getting a lot of "dependency problems - leaving unconfigured) whilst i upgrade to gutsy [03:06] allobjects: choose the rescue option at boot [03:06] hey kevleviathan go to #1390 [03:06] MenZa: you da boss. let me do what you just said lol. second [03:06] scguy318: wb [03:06] nibsa1242b: Have you tried googling it? http://czarism.com/easy-peasy-ubuntu-linux-nfs-file-sharing [03:06] paradizelost: so basically try again later is your advice? [03:06] ive got the help back [03:07] has anyone gotten the screen expansion to work? [03:07] whats #1390? [03:07] K3nto: Sure :) [03:07] mark_: very much so, can't find anything that explains in enough detail how to do it [03:07] warbler, how do I do that ? [03:07] Kelley: do you care whether the result on the USB drive is a live file system or an "image" file? [03:07] NemesisD: yes, there's an issue with the tzdata package, it apears it gets kinda skipped during the downloads because the servers are getting hit hard [03:07] kevleviathan: the channel I have help on [03:07] "RoC_MasterMind wants you to know: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. " I don't care about firefox right now.... I've got that working fine. I want to know how to use the installer (32 bit) for ETQW. [03:07] Having an odd problem. I just upgraded to Gutsy on my unbuntu box and I am having difficulty with my wired NIC. I am setup on a router through to a cable modem and when I boot up I have to manually initiate dhcp. If I set my network connect to DHCP my browser and email fail to work. but IRC and chat works just fine. [03:07] paradizelost, i actually believe i installed that earlier today [03:07] MenZa: nope hehe im not sure what its under [03:07] I'm getting the error "No root file system is defined. Please correc this from the partitioning menu", while trying to install 7.10 [03:08] RoC_MasterMind: Have any idea how to get an installer to work? (a 32 bit one) [03:08] litterlaly type "/go to#1390/" [03:08] anyone know why the nvidia drivers are not working for me.. if i switch to them it reverts to the vesa drivers [03:08] paradizelost, one of the packages left unconfigured was bash, that troubles me, is this going to brick my system? [03:08] mark_: No, I need it to be just an image file that I can restore to if something goes wrong, but if there is a way to be able to use it as a live file system, that would be good to. [03:08] nibsa1242b: when you try the instructions at http://czarism.com/easy-peasy-ubuntu-linux-nfs-file-sharing, what goes wrong? [03:08] allobjects: the option should be there at the grub menu during boot [03:08] ader10, you got me...I'm not sure if that's possible. [03:08] nibsa1242b, im going through the same thing. that link that was posted is horribly out of date ;/ [03:08] RoC_MasterMind: :< [03:08] K3nto: ok, try typing "sudo fdisk -l" (that's a lower-case L, not a capital i) and paste it in a pastebin, then link me to it [03:08] NemesisD: i had the issue on 2 systems, it was faster to just reinstall them, so i did [03:08] any ubuntu user with compiz-fusion ? i see my laptop is slow.. how do I get aiglx w/ compiz fusion [03:08] ader10, that's why I think it's best to stick with 32-bit for the foreseeable future. A lot of software is 32-bit only. [03:08] screen expansion anyone? [03:08] anyone know why the nvidia drivers are not working for me.. if i switch to them it reverts to the vesa drivers [03:08] Kelley, is the USB drive empty, and larger than the file system to back up? [03:08] ader10, and a lot more is 64-bit only on Intel/AMD [03:09] ader10: i agree with him for the time being [03:09] <|neon|> iplist does not install on gutsy because of libnfnetlink1 any suggestions [03:09] paradizelost, feh i have a lot of data and settings that i don't particularly want to lose [03:09] I take it no one has had any issues getting sata dvd writers to work? [03:09] Kelley: and you want to backup a windows drive ? [03:09] hello there. Im trying gutsy amd64. Is there any 'it sucks huge amounts of ram' issue known? [03:09] I'm having trouble installing ubuntu, I get the error "No root file system defined." while I'm in the Prepare Partitions window... [03:09] when I type sudo mount [IPaddress of computer with shared dir]:/shareddir/ [local mountpoint] I get " mount: special device [ip address] doesn't exist [03:09] NemesisD: this is why we do multiple partitions, and only format the system partition [03:09] biggahed, what does the 2nd line of free -m say? [03:09] ;) [03:09] RoC_MasterMind: I guess I can use 32 bit if there's no other option, but I think it would be nice to see some blender render times go down a little :P === benzss is now known as benzs_s [03:09] mark_: Yes, I am trying to back up my windows drive. I have an external USB drive about exactly the same size as the drive I am trying to clone [03:09] MenZa: http://pastebin.com/m74e476e6 [03:09] oxeimon: you have to set the label to / on the partition you want to use as your root partition [03:09] i have amd64 running, and other than a graphics card stability issue, which is likely the nvidia driver, and a dvd writer issue, all seems well [03:09] anyone know why the nvidia drivers are not working for me.. if i switch to them it reverts to the vesa drivers [03:10] Mem: 2014 1963 50 0 122 981 [03:10] How do I get all applications that want to do video capture via webcam, to use v4l2, instead of v4l? like xsane for example === marcosoria_ is now known as marcosoria81 [03:10] is there any advantage right now to going with the 64 bit distro? [03:10] mark_: However, the drive I want to clone has two partitions, one is a 5gb recovery made by HP, and the other is Windows itself. [03:10] man [03:10] OK, K3nto, we're looking at either sda2 or sda3 [03:10] Can I upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 using the 7.10 cd? How do I do it? [03:10] supports more memory, a little faster [03:10] gutsy is great [03:10] wastrel: The label? Do you mean the Mount Point? [03:10] numus: do you happen to have the Nvidia Geforce 8800 series? [03:10] paradizelost, wish somebody would have let me in on that tip when i was setting it up [03:10] biggahed, your not reading it correctly [03:10] !alternate | Smegzor [03:10] I said the 2nd line [03:10] Smegzor: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [03:10] free -m [03:10] paradizelost no pny vetro fx 5500 [03:10] oxeimon: sure ,mount point if that's what it says :] [03:10] back [03:10] Kelley, 'dd' may work, with a syntax similiar to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)#Examples Because it's so low level, it really doesn't care much about the file system. [03:10] my sound card is not working... [03:11] paradizelost, so is it most likely that these left unconfigured errors will just ruin the system? [03:11] and i dont know how to fix it [03:11] K3nto: Could you try creating a directory for test mounting, e.g. /media/wintest? (sudo mkdir /media/wintest) [03:11] wastrel: Right now the mount point is "/media/sda2" [03:11] Kelley: Still I might make an second backup of critical documents separately. [03:11] <|neon|> ipblock does not install on gutsy because of libnfnetlink1 any suggestions [03:11] damn this upgrade is gonna take forever. already been going 3 hours, says there's 6 more to go [03:11] why the hell does it take ubuntu 20 minits to start ? i just upgraded? [03:11] does this channel now support gutsy [03:11] i'm trying to run a patch for frozen bubble so i can play the old version 1.0 instead of the new version, how do i run the patch? and do i do it before i compile it? [03:11] what program shows cpu temp etc? [03:11] Smegzor: you can add the cd as a repository, but most of the packages will still be downloaded from the net afaik [03:11] Yes, thedefender [03:11] anyone? [03:11] Burlynn: the problem is I can't seem to find a more up to date link [03:11] Kelley: another option may be creating a dual boot system (at least for now) and leaving Windows intact for a bit. [03:11] mark_: Yeah, thats probably a good idea. In fact, I may just abandon the idea of cloning the drive in the first place. Cloning seems abit complicated for me right now [03:11] thedefender: gutsy is final, so yes [03:11] nibsa1242b, same here [03:11] sound card? [03:11] RoC_MasterMind, it is the second line, if you count the labels like total used etc. Is this what you meant? -/+ buffers/cache: 859 1154 [03:11] anyone know why the nvidia drivers are not working for me.. if i switch to them it reverts to the vesa drivers [03:11] Iv tried all the suggestions but non have worked could someone tell me what (./configure ) in line No.3 of the install instructions mean 1. tar -xzvf scourge-XX.tar.gz [03:11] 2. cd scourge-XX [03:11] 3. ./configure [03:11] 4. make [03:11] 5. ./src/scourge [03:12] Smegzor: at least that was my experience going from 6.10 to 7.04 [03:12] mark_: Yeah, thats what I am planning on doing. I just want to have my Backup incase the partitioner screws up my disk [03:12] <|neon|> eugo: you need lm sensors then you can use like ksensors if kde and for gnom eii dunno [03:12] can i use dmesg to find out what kind of sound card i have? [03:12] MenZa: kk i made it [03:12] kk thx [03:12] dmesg by itself gives me a lot of info.. [03:12] racarter: lspci [03:12] XXer: read the README file in the folder [03:12] oxeimon: that's probably where it mounted for th e install process ? i haven't done the gusty installer [03:12] i am running the beta, and have not received any updates since it was made final, or 2 days prior to it being made final [03:12] racarter: either dmesg or lspci [03:12] racarter: try lspci [03:12] Kelley, ask the user about the critical doucments and files they care about... and maybe do a special export of e-mail. Often, the files people are really care about are a fraction the size of the whole drive. [03:12] is this something to do with the repos [03:12] K3nto: Right, now try sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /media/wintest && ls /media/wintest [03:12] ok, I feel dumb, but now everytime I hit a key to type in this window my internal pc speaker is beeping. how do I turn that off? [03:13] i am pretty sure the sound card is built into the system board [03:13] paradizelost: any idea? [03:13] mark_: Yeah, its really my Mom and Dads computer. All they really care about is their iTunes library, documents and quicken [03:13] i dont know if lspci says anything about sound.. i am not seeing it right now [03:13] numus: about? [03:13] biggahed, yeah the first number on the 2nd line is how much it's using. the first line is actual physical use, which should be as close to using all of your RAM as possible. My system uses 292 MB of RAM right now...yours looks like 859MB...which is a lot. [03:13] MenZa: ok, i can see SOME of the folders that were on my C drive, but some are missing. uh-oh lol [03:13] paradizelost: why my video card isn't working [03:13] if you want to backup a drive, i tend to use something like 'tar cfvz backup.tar.gz .' when in the directory to be backed up [03:13] Kelley: then you probably want to dualboot [03:13] Kelley: And email. :) (unless htey have web-based email) [03:13] numus: did you say you ARE running an 8800 series? [03:14] paradizelost: no 5500 [03:14] K3nto: Ubuntu shouldn't have changed anything, unless you specifically told it to. [03:14] or alternatively have that backup file on your removable drive. [03:14] numus: then i couldn't tell ya atm [03:14] There is no readme file [03:14] Kelley: I switched my dad (age 60) to Linux and Gmail from Windows and AOL. He's sticking with it. It can work! [03:14] i am very impressed with gnome so far by the way [03:14] K3nto: try sudo umount /dev/sda2 && sudo mount /dev/sda3 -t ntfs /media/wintest && ls /media/wintest [03:14] MenZa: I could have lol. anyway, lets continue. i backed up important things [03:14] paradizelost: when i use the nvidia drivers.. and restart x it goes to the vesa drivers [03:14] Kelley: if the drives are the same size (I think you said), then open a terminal (Applications/Accessories) and then do "dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY" (where X & Y are your internal and external drives) - this will copy the *entire* drive image including Master Boot Record and partition table, and all partitions [03:14] XXer: what is this that you are trying to get support for here? [03:14] what program? [03:14] looks nice... i still hate that toolbar on the top of the screen though [03:14] i am running the beta, and have not received any updates since it was made final, or 2 days prior to it being made final [03:14] i always end up taking it off [03:14] Kelley: What will you replace Quicken with? [03:14] is this something to do with the repos [03:15] where do i find the adobe acrobat reader plugin? [03:15] thedefender: Your machine should be pretty much up to date; the packages are made available whenever they're done. [03:15] racarter: kubuntu may meet your wishes then. ;) [03:15] RoC_MasterMind, thats exactly what i thought :) And im not even have tons of apps open [03:15] mark_: Yeah, my dads abit older but pretty computer literate. Its just that his windows disk got so screwed up that instead of reinstalling windows, I will just have him use Ubuntu most of the time [03:15] Kelley: You can also use dd to image individual partitions using "dd if=/dev/sdX? of=/dev/sdY?" (where ? are the internal and external partition numbers) [03:15] MenZa: http://pastebin.com/f19eb46bb [03:15] apt-cache search adobe doesn't find anything [03:15] * ader10 fetches a copy of 32 bit instead this time [03:15] i dont even have* [03:15] i dont have to switch to kubuntu just for a toolbar though... [03:15] I'm trying to resize my root partition to make a new partition, is this possible? [03:15] IntuitiveNipple: And that will work fine for an NTFS partition, too? [03:16] !VCD [03:16] ok, K3nto, would you say the first one seemed like your C drive? [03:16] MenZa: so then the original repos in the will provided the final updates [03:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about vcd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:16] IntuitiveNipple: So using the first of those commands would let me copy everything? Thats another good option. Thanks [03:16] i have a question about ntfs too.. i have a lot of questions today actually [03:16] Hmmmm [03:16] arghh2d2: from a livecd, yes, not if you are booted into the system you are trying to do it on [03:16] mark_: It is below the level of the file-system within the partitions - it is at the block-device (aka disk) level [03:16] MenZa: yeah [03:16] I need some codex for watchin VCD's.. [03:16] still trying to get some networking help. [03:16] !ogle [03:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about ogle - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:16] hmmm [03:16] K3nto: that's fine, I just needed to establish that [03:16] !ask > Scunizi [03:16] Kelley: Yes, but use "df -h" to figure out your own values for X and Y. [03:17] mark_: So, yes, it will copy any Windows partition as a literal image [03:17] this is my first attempt at installing a game without using the (add/remove app) from a .gz file [03:17] paradizelost: i see thanks [03:17] biggahed, install "htop" [03:17] mark_: I don't plan on having use Ubuntu exclusively. He uses quicken sparingly, and until he gets comfortable using Ubuntu, I will just have him switch back and forth between the two [03:17] RoC_MasterMind, usage with i386 was more like yours. Are you using the 64bits version? [03:17] is there a way to put the address bar in nautilus? in case i want to manually type the folder i want to go to? [03:17] biggahed, it will let you sort by memory usage [03:17] biggahed, no, 32. [03:17] hi, why is it that when i have a full screen video up it takes up like 55% of my processor? does my graphix card suck that bad? [03:17] I'd like to set up a RAID one configuration for media storage, can I add the two drives leaving my original drive with ubuntu as the primary? [03:17] Kelley: You could have him use Ubuntu all the time and use the QEMU emulator to run a Windows image to host Quicken [03:17] biggahed, 64-bit code might use more ram. [03:17] K3nto: now try this command: sudo mkdir /media/windows && echo "/dev/sda2 /media/windows ntfs defaults 0 0 " | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab && sudo rmdir /media/wintest [03:18] XXer: tonight might be the wrong night to try to get help on that then. being a new version release... [03:18] Kelley: OK. Take a look at moneydance. It runs on Windows and Linux, and is what my wife switched to. Because it ran Windows, it was easy for her to evaluate [03:18] hi everyone, i know all of you are really busy, i need help setting up compiz on gutsy gibbon, thanks [03:18] Kelley: It would save on reboots, and user interface confusions [03:18] o ic [03:18] MenZa: i guess it worked, hold on [03:18] Kelley: But one thing at a time. :) Just trying out Linux will be enough for now, I'm sure. :) [03:18] if i install a .deb file, how do i uninstall it? [03:18] After resizing and creating a new ext2 part, i intend to burn the 7.10 iso and boot it using my 7.4's grub installation, is this possible? [03:18] K3nto: now try sudo mount /media/windows [03:18] flick: sudo dpkg -r .deb [03:19] (-r being remove) [03:19] anyone care to help me with my upgrading woes? [03:19] RoC_MasterMind, it should use more ram... but i didnt think it would be so much. i think this is buggy, because ive ran other 64bits distros before and it didnt show this behavior [03:19] flick: or you can use synaptic. [03:19] jvon, you and me both. [03:19] IntuitiveNipple: Thats a good idea, and yeah, you are right. I am thinking about just setting up quicken in Wine, wouldn't that work? Moneydance sounds like a good alternitive like mark_ said [03:19] Is the "AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor 5600+" a 64 bit processor. Need to know which gutsy iso to download [03:19] mark_, installing a .deb will make it show up in synaptic? [03:19] holy crap [03:19] Just installed apache2, and I can access html fine but PHP doesn't seem to be working... also of note, my httpd.conf is completely blank [03:19] Dicey: yes and AMD64 will work [03:19] could not configure sudo, gksu, that doesn't sound good === alien18_ is now known as alien18 [03:19] flick: I think so. [03:19] thanks [03:20] NemesisD: No, no it doesn't. :S [03:20] hmmm, let me rephrase that, After resizing and creating a new ext2 part, i intend to put the 7.10 iso on it and boot it using my 7.4's grub installation, is this possible? [03:20] wow this is wonderful [03:20] and by php not working, I mean it asks me to download the file [03:20] RoC_MasterMind, for the mem usage... firefox is king(as usual) but its not that much, just 123 of resident mem. its more like all the other apps are using a hell lot more ram [03:20] Kelley: Wine *may* do it but you'd need to check the compatibility lists, and for something so important I'd rather not risk financial data :p [03:20] so glad i decided to upgrade :| [03:20] Kelley: Quicken in Wine might work. appdb.winehq.org and codeweavers.com have good WINE compatibility databases. [03:20] theacolyte: you're missing an apache module [03:20] MenZa: yeah i think i messed something up with Gparted. I only have two folders in my program files... === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [03:20] now i get to spend my friday evening fixing my computer [03:20] K3nto: hmm [03:20] K3nto: ow [03:20] i need help with my sound card on ubuntu 7.10... [03:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP <- theacolyte [03:20] !sound | racarter [03:20] racarter: 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 [03:20] MenZa: you would figure, right?

Thanks alot for your help! [03:21] NemesisD: you didn't have anything to do did you ? ;) [03:21] Bye! [03:21] !LAMP [03:21] oh awesome [03:21] 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+) [03:21] theacolyte: Kinda obvious, but try restarting apache. [03:21] and then the update manager just closes [03:21] MenZa: already did [03:21] says it can't get an exclusive lock [03:21] anyone found a solution for dual monitor setups being shown as one screen? nvidia-settings errors saying I'm not using their driver (but I am) and its rather frustrating. [03:21] theacolyte: hmm, that's odd. [03:21] !lamp | theacolyte [03:21] Bye Kelley. Good luck! [03:21] theacolyte: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

Just ask your question :) [03:21] somebody already installed the SNMP in ubuntu? [03:21] K3nto: Does it mount, though? [03:22] MenZa: so that DID work to show me all the contents on my windows partition, right? if thats the case, then ill just reformat and put fresh installs of both windows and ubuntu [03:22] MenZa: yeah, its mounted [03:22] paradizelost: I know what I'm doing -- a bot isn't going to help me though I appreciate the effort [03:22] Yep, that's correct, K3nto [03:22] !snmp | kiron [03:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about snmp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:22] NemesisD: any other software package managers running (that's the usual reason for that error) ? [03:22] Why do you want to reinstall Ubuntu? :) [03:22] hey guys - i am using ie6 on wine ... and I am wondering if I can run activex controls in ubuntu? [03:22] MenZa: i guess it is anyway. should it show up on my desktop? [03:22] After installing Ubuntu I get a black screen while booting instead of a pretty loading thingie like on the livecd, is something broken or is it supposed to be this way? [03:22] theacolyte: did you follow the howto word for word? [03:22] IntuitiveNipple, not a single other thing was running but the update manager [03:22] K3nto: Erf, I'm not sure. [03:22] my sound doesnt work is not really a question.. [03:22] K3nto: I don't display my volumes on my desktop [03:22] I have a couple problems with the new Gutsy [03:22] somebody already installed the SNMP in ubuntu? [03:22] paradizelost: forward and back though I hardly need a howto, this seems more like a bug than anything -- plugging away with it and asking advice in here [03:23] slaytanic: Does the login screen eventually load? [03:23] NemesisD: Has it run more than once at that point? It could have left a lock-file behind if it terminated abnormally previously [03:23] I've only done this a million times [03:23] why when i'm installing packages in synaptic does it keep asking me to insert my gutsy dvd? [03:23] for one my logoff sound does not happen anymore [03:23] hey im upgrading to gutsy now and i keep getting errors [03:23] zetheroo: me too. Dual head support isn't working very well. [03:23] anyone else gteing them [03:23] MenZa: k. I want to put vista back on though, simply for the compatability of games. Ill get started on that then.. [03:23] theacolyte: a few versions of apache ago, they moved to multiple config files, rather than everything in the httpd.conf [03:23] MenZa: alright, thanks for your help!! [03:23] slyder: Because your DVD is set as a repository :) [03:23] IntuitiveNipple, i tried to run it at school today but i closed it and shut down the computer, so i don't think that could be it [03:23] cannot install "xxx" due to dependency errors [03:23] jlilly: Dual Head? [03:23] Vlet: Yes. and on ¨safe mode¨ I get to see the actual console output. [03:23] hello there [03:23] slyder: in your 'software sources' admin control, unckeck the dvd at the bottom [03:23] paradizelost: I'm aware of it, thanks though -- this is something else [03:23] I'll keep chugging at it [03:23] leaving unconfigured [03:23] zetheroo: two monitors [03:23] You can disable it in your list of repositories in Synaptic, slyder, as Vlet says. [03:23] Vlet: It's just that I get a black screen until gdm loads. [03:23] am i screwed? [03:23] Gonna need to fork this channel :P [03:23] should I make my swap partition a logical or primary partition? I have 2GB of RAM, how large should I make my swap partition?

[03:24] Vlet: So, I _am_ supposed to be seeing something, right? [03:24] so... does anyone have a clue? [03:24] slaytanic: yes [03:24] zetheroo: what problem are you having? Mine is that they both combine into a 2056x1024 resolution instead of 2 at 1280x1024 [03:24] it's muted in volume control. not sure what else i could be missing [03:24] how do I make my iPod automount? [03:25] hi [03:25] is there any sort of repair install i can do from a cd? [03:25] jlilly: but I am having no luck getting screen expansion to work....

How do i make it only transapert Desktop picture only! [03:25] jlilly: ahh I see [03:25] the PHP page, rather [03:25] cat /proc/asound/cards --> --- no sound cards --- [03:25] marcosoria81, if you have Gutsy then System-Preferences-Advanced Desktop Effects Setting [03:25] is this a bug even? or what [03:25] biggahed: if it's been a while since you asked your question, you may want to re-ask.. within reason :) [03:25] zetheroo: give me a second. Going to try to restart X [03:25] element, it should detect it and automatically mount it. Just plug it in. [03:25] jlilly: ok [03:25] anyone have hte brightness backwards on their lappy? when I plug in the AC, screen auto-dims, when I unplug and run on battery, screen auto brightens. [03:25] Vlet, okie [03:25] can someone help me get the log-off sound working? [03:26] hello there. Im trying gutsy amd64. Is there any 'it sucks huge amounts of ram' issue known? [03:26] I accidentally erased the networking icon from the panel!!!! [03:26] should I make my swap partition a logical or primary partition? I have 2GB of RAM, how large should I make my swap partition? [03:26] org: umm why would you want your desktop background to be transparent? [03:26] not working [03:26] mpeters: have u tried System->Sound->SystemBeep and untick Enable System Beep? [03:26] does rhythmbox have an equalizer? [03:26] org: I suspect that's a "feature" of desktop effects [03:26] org: it's not a bug, it's "better"... the desktop only transparence was just the way it was because of a lack of hardware acceleration [03:26] is there a way to config the 'compiz' desktop ? like in Beryl ? [03:26] ah wait, I think I see it -- odd [03:26] org: generally true transparency shows what's actualy underneath it [03:26] must be a broken package [03:26] org, mine is slightly transparent. it's in the cube effects [03:26] btw what IRC software are you using [03:26] funkyb: check the brightness settings in System > Preferences > Power Management for each [03:26] gonk23: that would have been far too bloody obvious [03:26] element: irssi [03:26] thank you very much :) [03:26] enable desktop cube, go into it's settings, you can set the normal and cube transparency levels [03:27] how can i restore the networking icon to the panel? [03:27] what is the use of apt-get source ? [03:27] can you do that name: thing in konversation? [03:27] anyone have any ideas how I might set up a net install to boot on a local machine? [03:27] mpeters: Are you mpeters@plusthree.com by chance? [03:27] also can someone help me get the Ubuntu splash screen working again? [03:27] Negra: network monitor or network-manager ? [03:27] yeah I know... but sometime i have terminal and underneath it is an Xchat. then words are into each other. How do you manage that? give me some screenshots of yours let me get an idea!!! :) pls [03:27] oxeimon: If you want to hibernate too, make the swap about 2.25 - 2.5GB. It can be logical or primary. === vbabiy_ is now known as vbabiy [03:27] wastrel: manager [03:27] Negra, right click on panel-add to panel- scroll down to sys & hardware [03:27] org: I don't use a transparent terminal (and I don't have a fancy graphics card anyway) [03:27] org: just make it less transparent [03:27] mark_: no [03:28] where can i enable the Desktop cube on gutsy ?? [03:28] alt+scroll changes window transparency in compiz, is that what you mean? [03:28] anyone? [03:28] Hey is there a fix for Xchat-gnome in 7.10 for the icons [03:28] is posible update ubuntu(server version) with server cd from the console no graphic mode? [03:28] Vlet, I tried. didn't help it [03:28] Wouldn't you expect that you'd see php.load/conf in mods-enabled in apache2 if php installed correctly? [03:28] Negra: i think that shows up in the notification area [03:28] B_166-ER-X, custom effects on the desktop effects area [03:28] B_166, goto appearance and set to extra effects, then google on how to install the compizsettings manager [03:28] somebody who use transparet terminal show me some SS! pls [03:28] B_166-ER-X: install the compizconfig-settings-manager package [03:29] i use trans term [03:29] Org, give me a minute and I'll link you to howto [03:29] anyone have an idea why i can't access my router's setup page in ubuntu? i can get to it in windows xp just fine, but when i go to 192.168.1.1 in ubuntu i get 'firefox can't establish connection to the server' [03:29] Vlet thnx [03:29] thanks funkyb. that sounds like advice i can use as well [03:29] np, happy to help. [03:29] mark_: instead of a transparent terminal you can make an unwindowed terminal that is your desktop background currently behind it [03:29] I have a question: Using the 7.10 install disk, am i going to be able current system without formatting the whole partition, as in: keep my home directory and settings? [03:29] i know compiz worked in 7.04 despite a few graphical issues [03:29] ixian - first off, do you have access to the internet? [03:29] night all [03:29] where would the list of apps started by different desktop enviorments be [03:29] ok... i still have no idea what to do about my sound [03:29] but make no mistake, i'm a week old linux nuub [03:29] like what file [03:29] ixian, is your ubuntu machine using DHCP? [03:29] awwwhg my typing is terrible tonite [03:29] mark_: I got something like that for eterm, its like terminal camou or something, very kool :) [03:30] does anyone use Amarok in GNOME? [03:30] i there a simple way to use Emerald instead of well 'themes for gnome' [03:30] org: what do you mean it didn't help... you get to choose between completely transparent, and not transparent at all. if it were not at all transparent, it would be very visible, and full transparency would be hard to read, so if you set it just a little transparent, wouldn't it be pretty easy to read? [03:30] I have a question: Using the 7.10 install disk, am i going to be able to update the current system without formatting the whole partition, as in: keep my home directory and settings? [03:30] dga: no I use exaile, songbird, miro, totem, vlc. lots of edumatainment [03:30] funkyb, Okay. [03:30] HOWTO: Transparent Terminal in Compiz-Fusion + gusty: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-a-transparent-terminal-session-as-your-desktop-background.html [03:30] funkyb, where is the howto. [03:30] arghh2d2, not with the desktop CD. Get the alternate CD if you want a CD-based upgrade [03:30] Akaishi: no, i have it set to a static ip address [03:30] by the way I don't like gnome terminal, anyone have other suggestion of terminals? [03:31] arghh2d2: you should get the alternative CD for upgrading [03:31] ixian,do you have access to the internet? [03:31] you can apply those techs to do lots of neat things, in addition to trans terms [03:31] arghh2d2: sorry alternate CD [03:31] what do you call it when you use alt+f1? virtual desktop? [03:31] arghh2d2: Using the LiveCD Desktop installer, no, the partitions will be formatted *unless* you have a separate partition for /home. [03:31] is there any way to repair a borked gutsy upgrade? [03:31] yes CowBayPig [03:31] hi [03:31] my router won't even respond to a ping from within linux [03:31] anyway, how do you do it? alt seems to pop up the main menu button now [03:31] blarg [03:31] ixian, is the ubuntu machine's IP on the same subnet with the router? [03:31] is posible update ubuntu(server version) with server cd from the console no graphic mode? [03:31] arghh2d2: Are you able to upgrade over the network? If possible, I'd recommend that. [03:31] Madpilot: zetheroo, sweeet thats what im using, 710 alt server [03:31] trogdor: what do you recommend for just music? i used to use amarok in kubuntu but i'm not so sure i want to run it in gnome. [03:32] arghh2d2: go for it then..... [03:32] ixian_: what type of interface and what hardware, is it claimed or disabled/unclaimed in lshw? [03:32] hey all [03:32] arghh2d2: it will just upgrade your current setup... [03:32] or actually alt+f1 brings up the main menu.. other combinations do different things [03:32] there's a .deb package which is more advanced than the one in current Ubuntu source... any way i can put it in so that it can be downloaded with apt-get? [03:32] what's nUbuntu? [03:32] one more question, will i be able to get a command line on grub and direct to boot a harddrive holding the iso? [03:32] dga: yeah kde apps have lot of coupled subsystem processes, not good for performance. For music try exaile or songbird. There loads off other apps though too if you search synaptic [03:32] can someone help me get the splash screen working again??? [03:33] ixian_: It sounds as if the PC didn't get an IP address allocated by the router using DHCP. Have you checked that yet (ifconfig) ? [03:33] zetheroo: which splash screen? [03:33] Has ANYONE gotten apache/php working in 7.10 yet? [03:33] GBenemy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUbuntu === karioka is now known as amexpal [03:33] hey how can i change some settings in the default windows aniumation [03:33] is it possible to get gnome 2.20 in feisty? [03:33] my splash screen doesn't work [03:33] Does the new ubuntu version have a way to save files on a partition that is going to be overwritten durring instalation, I thought I saw something about the other day, but I can't seem to find it [03:33] hello there. Im trying gutsy amd64. Is there any 'it sucks huge amounts of ram' issue known? [03:33] flick: if you already have the .deb package you can install it with "sudo dpkg -i " [03:33] ok in ubuntu a friend installed but his nic card isn't detected...anyone know how to fix? [03:33] trogdor: when you login there is a Ubuntu splash .... its not happening since I upgraded [03:33] thanks mark_ [03:34] IntuitiveNipple: should i just paste the output of ifconfig? [03:34] zetheroo, same here [03:34] trogdor: also the log-off sound is not happening [03:34] How can i make it possible to get my monitor to change to 1650 x 1280? [03:34] does anybody know if i can perform some sort of repair installation of a messed up upgrade to gutsy with the gutsy cd? [03:34] ixian_: right click the network connections icon in the top-right corner and select Connection Information. Tell us what the IP address and subnet mask is. [03:34] corevette, zetheroo, same thing here. [03:34] corevette: have you worked out why? [03:34] zetheroo: there are settings for such... [03:34] Its not giving me that option [03:34] zetheroo, not yet [03:34] dunky - i struggled to get 1280x800 for days [03:34] it was the EDID not getting detected [03:34] trogdor: well thats the thing.... all the settings are set correctly [03:35] setting the xserver config utility manually to 1280x800 (and NOTHING ELSE!) worked for me [03:35] ixian_: No... run the command in a terminal, and look for the "inet addr" - it should be in your router's range (192.168.x.y) [03:35] gonk23: my ip address is 192.168.1.103 [03:35] zetheroo: personally I think the splash is kinda useless since your either don't care what its doing or your watching the screen seeing the systems steps as it boots. [03:35] is there any way I could download some kind of boot image and install it to a hard drive partition, then boot that and install the rest over internet? [03:35] corevette/zetheroo: It works on the livecd? Mine does on the livecd, just not after install. [03:35] same slaytanic [03:35] hello [03:35] are there any dangers in upgrading from ubuntu gutsy RC to final? [03:35] gonk23: which shouldnt be cause i set it to 192.168.1.5 in the network config [03:35] if i do an install of gutsy on an already partition drive with dapper will it format the drive? [03:35] Hey can I have some help for a first time linux user? I want to know how to make the mouse be faster? I put the scroll bar all the way up for acceleration, and its still really slow! [03:35] I imagine not, but it never hurts to hear the experiences of others [03:35] trogdor: well that may be true.. but nevertheless its a fault... [03:35] zetheroo: don't use the main list of settings use the tab settings its hidden in that long list [03:36] my ipod isn't auto mounting [03:36] I'm sorry I'm very new...can somebody help me get my WPA working on my wireless card? [03:36] akaishi: maybe this? -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=35087&page=40 [03:36] ixian_: your IP address looks OK in either case -- what's the subnet mask, 255.255.255.0 ? [03:36] zetheroo: on the menu not the window I mean [03:36] (flip to pg 1, sorry) [03:36] i would like to change the settings on Compiz.... how would i do that ??? [03:36] in fact none of my USB works unless I plug in in before i turn the computer on [03:36] gonk23: yes [03:36] how do i create new items in the Applications menu? [03:36] trogdor: tab? [03:36] keycool: don't ask to ask, just ask. [03:36] and now the ipod won't even mount if I put it in before i turn the computer on [03:36] ToddEDM, you need to install the compiz settings manager [03:36] it adds those features to your preferences menu [03:36] thank you funky [03:36] np [03:37] sry i don't know the package name oiffhadn [03:37] offhand^^ [03:37] friend has a 3com etherfast nic card and installed ubuntu edgy...and it didn't detect his nic card so he has no inet...is there a way to fix it? [03:37] zetheroo: its kinda hard for me to explain, I use xubuntu. Oh and there is something about the splash thing in menu.lst use locate command to find it, updatedb if it finds nothing [03:37] ndiswrapper maybe? [03:37] my ipod isn't auto mounting [03:37] how do i fix it? [03:37] element: your mom isn't auto-mounting [03:38] trogdor: what do I look for? [03:38] ToddEDM: It should be there as System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [03:38] I had to identify my card using lspci or lsusb (forget which), then get the XP drivers from Dell, then use ndiswrapper to get the card working [03:38] element: Are you using rhythmbox? [03:38] Intuit, that packages is not shipped with gusty is it:? [03:38] element: jkjk :-D :-D :-D [03:38] zetheroo: ctrl +f splash [03:38] I had to install ut manuallyt [03:38] i just want to use it as a hard drive [03:38] this doesn't seem like quite what I'm looking for [03:38] trogdor: isn't it called something different than "splash" in linux? [03:38] does anyone here have an amd64 system with an ATI-graphics card [03:39] zetheroo: not really... do you want it to be? [03:39] I think that Xubuntu VM will make a pretty good hack environment...I think I'll keep it :) [03:39] I have a Cisco Aironet Wireless 802.11b card for my t40 thinkpad, I cant get WPA networking to come up on my join network menu [03:39] trogdor: ha [03:39] I started w/ amd64, ran into problems and flipped to 32 bit and everything worked much easier. [03:39] ixiam_: I assume the "default route" on the connection information screen said 192.168.1.1 ? [03:39] element: Have you tried this? http://ipodlinux.org/Mounting_on_Linux [03:39] any thoughts? [03:39] my issue is that my CD drive has a questionable IDE cable that causes data errors when I try to install from it. It's good enough to run the liveCD but I need to install to hard drive via network and I don't have another machine [03:39] The ipod is reconized as an external harddrive and not just an ipod right? [03:39] on ubuntu domcumentation, it says: Ubuntu can read and write files on your Windows partition. [03:39] Is this a good idea? [03:39] i have rockbox on my ipod [03:39] is it possible to get my resultion back to 1650 x 1050 even tho i can't select it? [03:39] has anyone else try installing an application with ADD/Remove only have it tell you that you have a conflicting package installed please romve it OR this application was not designed for i386? [03:39] keycool: i guess that card needs a firmware upgrade to get WPA [03:39] funkyb: yeah no reason to use 64 bit unless you have huge loads off ram like 2gb+ [03:40] joanki | NTFS [03:40] NTFS support is supposed to be safe now...i still worry a bit [03:40] !NTFS | NTFS [03:40] so i should do it [03:40] NTFS: ntfs is To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For NTFS write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse [03:40] because that way i don't have to switch back and forth if i want say, a document [03:40] ToddEDM, take alook here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion?highlight=%28composite%29%7C%28manager%29 [03:40] zyxnull, how do I do that? [03:40] lol [03:40] keycool: This page doesn't mention WPA support for your card: http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManagerHardware [03:40] joanki: YES! it works great, been using it for a while (with 7.04 + automatix) and works great! [03:40] anyone know of a cool app launcher bar? I haven't found one i like yet... at least not a supported one... [03:41] is 7.1 safe [03:41] how do I get the 3d effect shows here on the right second image http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ ? [03:41] i'm woried to do this [03:41] mark_, does that mean there isn't? [03:41] keycool: It may still be possible some other way.... avoiding NetworkManager and using ndiswrapper, but depending on your situation, getting a more compatible card may be simpler. [03:41] funkyb: try AWN [03:41] Akaishi: There is a neat way of solving that alot of the time - take the cable off, put each of the connectors in a vice, and squeeze it carefully but hard. It usually improves the electrical connections and solves the issues when the cable has been strained for whatever reason [03:41] how do i enable desktop effects on a fresh xubuntu gutsy install? [03:41] Hi All, where can i get assistance for audio programs? [03:41] keycool: Ok, let me check i used to have that old device somewhere near [03:41] i am on ccsm but dont see that [03:41] !effects | geoff [03:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about effects - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:41] i'm on a lappy so getting a more compatable card was less desirable [03:41] !compizfusion | Geoff [03:41] Sorry, I don't know anything about compizfusion - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:41] dammit [03:41] nah, the cable is 40 conductor, it needs to be 80. I've got a replacement cable being shipped but I'm impatient :D [03:41] ndiswrapper was easy to do [03:41] i just installed kubuntu 7.10 and after installation it offered me to install my ATI property drive ( which i really wanted to install) after installation i restarted my computer for it to take effect but once ubuntu starts my monitor shows that it is out of sing, as a result i couldnt log onto kubuntu at all currently i am using my windows , what should i do [03:42] geoff: go to system\ preferences\ apperence [03:42] sup scroll [03:42] Akaishi: well the 40-core cable should just limit the max ATA rate, it ought not cause data loss [03:42] Hi [03:42] geoff: go to effects and enable them to as you wish, if you want more compex effects [03:42] thedefender, im using Xubuntu not gnome. [03:42] Quick question. In ubuntu 7.10, is ndiswrapper installed? [03:42] Why can't I open this file in Ubuntu? http://dump.no/files/0a6877132597/Mortimer_Twang-MOONMAST.MOD [03:42] i see [03:42] ali110: copy your previous xorg.conf. to xorg.conf and restart [03:42] speaker, no [03:43] speaker219_: You can check yourself in synaptic. [03:43] well if it's not the cable it's the motherboard and I'm trying very hard to believe it's not the motherboard [03:43] at least it wasn't when I used the beta [03:43] ok... I am installing the splash-manager from synaptic... we'll see how that goes.... [03:43] axisys: how to do that ( iam a noob in linux ) [03:43] who made the board akaishi? [03:43] hmmm, not sure if Xubuntu has effects, seeing is it is suppose to be a lighter system [03:43] man [03:44] it's an abit VA-10 [03:44] it kind of sucks that there is no filesystem compatability between macs and linux [03:44] :| [03:44] axisys: i can run kubuntu in command line mode , then from where should i copy the files and to where [03:44] thedefender: effects can be installed to any system [03:44] abit makes damn good boards, i'm hoping it's not the board with you :-) [03:44] there isnt? [03:44] i cant use ext3 for my external hd on my mac [03:44] ali110: cd /etc/X11 [03:44] when i run cat /proc/scsi/scsi my ipod only shows as a toshiba hard drive [03:44] not an ipod [03:44] lol [03:44] ls -lart xorg.conf* [03:44] the ext2fsx driver crashes [03:44] but I thoguth mac was ext3 [03:44] look at the date [03:44] no macs are hfs+ [03:44] or ufs [03:45] trogdor: yes but is it already preinstalled on Xubuntu [03:45] my mac is formated in ext3 [03:45] anyone know how I can get ardour to install as it will not allow me through add/remove for some reason? [03:45] or hfs, or hfs+journaling [03:45] UFS is bad under linux isnt it? [03:45] wutz mac? (lol) [03:45] zyxnull, any luck? [03:45] the one before the xorg.conf was the last good one [03:45] darkcrab: Not under OSX it isn't. [03:45] that is what it said when I formated it [03:45] thedefender: where you buying xubuntu preinstalled from?... [03:45] hi? [03:45] axisys: thanks i will try but this will make the ATI driver stop working i think , if it is so what is the correct way to install my ATI driver [03:45] Basically I have an external HD which I need to use with Linux and a Mac box [03:45] ali110: so just copy that last good one to xorg.conf [03:45] I cant use ext3, i cant use hfs+ because in Linux it's read only [03:45] Why can't I open this file in Ubuntu? http://dump.no/files/0a6877132597/Mortimer_Twang-MOONMAST.MOD -- This is an amiga module file, but I can't figure out how to play it in totem [03:45] :| [03:45] axisys: thanks i will try but this will make the ATI driver stop working i think , if it is so what is the correct way to install my ATI driver [03:46] If I have a virtual machine that is fullscreen on desktop 2, how can I switch back to desktop 1? [03:46] ali110: well that will give your window manager back atleast [03:46] hfs+ cna be mounted read-write in Linux, but you'll need to recompile the HFS module for it. [03:46] thedefender: if you want effects just apt-get install compiz-fusion. it works on every setup however kde is bloated on its own built in effects system so running both might be lacking on performance [03:46] VousDeux, Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow|Right Arrow [03:46] ctrl + alt + left key will move to desktop 1 [03:46] axisys: yes thanks very much [03:46] ali110: then u have to find a wiki and follow steps on how to conf your ati [03:46] axisys: thanks very much [03:46] trogdor: huh buying? a man on here is wondering if he has effects on his Xubuntu gutsy installation and how to enable them [03:46] in 7.10, the auto-update of Firefox is disabled. how can I update it to latest version ? [03:46] Madpilot: thanks, I'll give it a shot :) [03:46] cafuego - dang it :| [03:47] anyone know if compiz works on tri mon desktops? I love this on the lappy but have only seen compiz demo'd on duals, never three (= 2 vid cards) [03:47] phew.. now I can start compiz at least with the radeon open source drivers. But things are.. veeeeery slow moving windows or rotating cube.. [03:47] use synaptic to update [03:47] firefox [03:47] hello [03:47] if it works i'll move the desktop over in a jiffy [03:47] how is UFS support under Linux? [03:47] anyone with qemu gutsy host and gutsy guest ? stoped working after gutsy upgrade worked fine with feisty host [03:47] nothing there :) [03:47] hai [03:47] can i upgrade to gnome 2.2 from feisty? [03:47] trogdor: in gutsy gnome it compizfusion is preinstalled but i am unsure on xbuntu [03:47] thedefender: you mentioned preinstalled, you installed the system yourself though right? just open synaptic and grab a few fancy graphics things [03:47] friend has a 3com etherfast nic card and installed ubuntu edgy...and it didn't detect his nic card so he has no inet...is there a way to fix it? [03:47] my ipod isn't auto mounting [03:47] hey keycool, check the private! [03:47] Cryoniq: have u installed ccsm ? [03:47] thedefender: its like what 10mb to install compizfusion or other things?.. [03:48] anyone know how I can get ardour to install as it will not allow me through add/remove for some reason? [03:48] leonel: I use QEMU/KVM without a problem [03:48] does anyone know where the Ubuntu splash screen sits? [03:48] i am [03:48] axisys: hmm not what I know of...... what is that? [03:48] Madpilot: bummer...that didn't work. I have VMware. That may be different. [03:48] When I try to install Ubuntu Server 7.10 under Parallels (build 3188) I get "Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted." Any way around this problem? [03:48] VousDeux, that key combo is the standard Gnome one, Vmware probably overrides it somehow [03:48] zyxnull, im in private [03:48] asdf [03:49] thedefender: hmm there is one thing you would need to know. to use it you have to do compiz --replace command you can set xubuntu to do that upon start under settings [03:49] (Clearly the CD-ROM was originally mounted because it loaded the installation program... so why can't it "mount" it?) [03:49] Madpilot: oh, I'm using KDE too :/ [03:49] IntuitiveNipple: https://launchpad.net/bugs/126046 same errors over here .. [03:49] my ipod isn't auto mounting [03:49] anyone know how to fix it [03:49] VousDeux, try #kubuntu? [03:49] Madpilot: thanks again :) [03:50] Anyone know anything about slow gnome and compiz using the radeon open source drivers for example ati radeon 9800 pro under gutsy? [03:50] I base my cable theory on the fact that accessing the other IDE channel works without a hitch and that one uses an 80 [03:50] zyxnull, I am talking in private, can you not see it? [03:50] is 7.10 keeps Firefox 2.0.0.6 and wait until Firefox 3 releases ? [03:50] Pakl: That sounds like something that used to occur with the Alternate CD install.. check this bug #143958 [03:50] keycool: Nop [03:51] IntuitiveNipple: Thank you I will check it. [03:51] Hi, I have clone a scsi hard drive to a non-scsi hard drive, but the cloned non-scsi hd still think that its a scsi drive, and it's really slow since DMA isn't turn on. [03:51] element: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_2nN7kimMk [03:51] /leave [03:51] zyxnull, I don't know what the problem is [03:52] keycool: Ok, no prob, just wait a sec [03:52] if i unplug my network cable i cannot get wireless access [03:52] anyone know how I can get ardour to install as it will not allow me through add/remove for some reason? the selection box is grey. [03:52] when I try to enable "extra" under visual effects, I get: "The copmosite extension if not available". What does that mean/what do I do? [03:52] what's ardour [03:52] it says my network card driver is a restricted driver if that helps [03:52] leonel: There's a known issue with QEMU and the gfxboot atm, I'm trying to find the bug-report but there is a work-around for some scenarios I seem to recall: bug #140713 [03:52] how can i run a .patch file? [03:52] do you have an nvidia card oxeimon? [03:52] Is that Gnash swf player a good option compared to Adobe? The fact that either is free or non-free doesn't bother Me. I'd just like to know which would be best. [03:52] folks ! i am running 7.04.. .when i try to upgrade to gutsy... it fails because it says: "could not find these 4 files/repositories" [03:52] i am new [03:53] ardour is a muisic editing program.. [03:53] chill: I have an ATI radeon x1950 [03:53] oh [03:53] i dunno then :P [03:53] why doesn't fc-cache -fv support finding pcf files? [03:53] hello there. Im trying gutsy amd64. Is there any 'it sucks huge amounts of ram' issue known? [03:53] anyone know a alternative to windows movie maker ? [03:53] ubuntu must have one :D [03:53] i tried installing the artwiz font package but can not [03:54] arooni: yeah I want the gutsy last release sources.list too [03:54] i installd it through snyaptic but it didnt really install so i tried the tar [03:54] Dialntone: Kino [03:54] for all those wanting a splash screen when booting into Ubuntu.... it seems that it was purposely removed from the Gutsy release because it was slowing down the boot-up process.... [03:54] http://www.mail-archive.com/desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg112621.html [03:54] when I try to enable "extra" under visual effects, I get: "The copmosite extension if not available".

I'd just like to know which would be best. [03:54] zetheroo: yaaay!! :D [03:54] oxeimon: scream :p [03:54] aweesome thanks IntuitiveNipple [03:54] IntuitiveNipple: :-p [03:54] youknowme: I've found the Adobe no-free plug-in works okay on 64-bit [03:54] trogdor: ok... but what about the sound when looging off? [03:55] does anyone know how to get wireless to work in Kubuntu? How to set it up? [03:55] anyone have an idea why my screen dims *when i plug the AC IN*, and auto brightens when I unplug and run on battery? [03:55] zetheroo: if you liked it though it might become an option later on I hear they are transitioning the boot up mechanism to init-ng from sysv [03:55] dialntone: wikipedia is your friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Video_editing_software [03:55] keycool: You'll find here (http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-52835.html) the version of firmware you'll need to get wpa_supplicant working [03:55] dialntone: cinelerra, kino, are both good, among others [03:55] funkyb: Did you check the Power Management brightness settings? [03:55] Hey, I just installed Gutsy. I'm trying to install XChat and I'm getting an error about it needing at least tcl 8.4.5 and that it is not available. [03:55] i truly hate kde [03:55] heh, I'm still running 32bit, think I should go 64 while I still can? Fresh install.. [03:55] cinelerra [03:55] checking now, thxx [03:55] i'll check them out :D i like to make music videos [03:55] but the behavior seemed arse backwars [03:55] dialntone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_editing_software [03:55] Hmmm... I tried mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom, but got an eventual: "Mounting failed: Invalid argument" [03:55] yup youknowme [03:55] T1m: how are you trying to install xchat? [03:56] zetheroo: you could still add a splash and sound when logging on/off its all there just go to login thing under settings menu [03:56] keycool: however, i ended up buying a proxim 8470-WD from ebay wich is a LOT better [03:56] so ubuntu==ubuntu+1 now? [03:56] wastrel: apt [03:56] usser: yes [03:56] darkcrab, really? I thought software support was the pits? [03:56] youknowme: Yes, it is very stable and doesn't have the drawbacks of having to run a 32-bit chroot for most apps now. I've been running 64-bit Gutsy for several months without any problems [03:56] usser: yes [03:56] in order to install gstreamer plugins developed for debian i need libwavpack0 4.31 but gutsy has libwavpack1 4.41. How can i make the dependency happy? [03:56] for 64bit? oh, didnt know that. [03:56] !repositories [03:56] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource [03:56] can i alias libwavpack0 to point to libwavpack1? [03:56] folks ! i am running 7.04.. .when i try to upgrade to gutsy... it fails because it says: "could not find these 4 files/repositories" what should i do? [03:57] ToHellWithGA: why not use the gstreamer plugins in the ubuntu repository?... [03:57] when I try to enable "extra" under visual effects, I get: "The copmosite extension if not available". What does that mean/what do I do? [03:57] thank you Intuit, I see why it was happening. [03:57] have you tried to switch server arooni [03:57] trogdor; ummmm..... I don't think so.... the log-in splash has not been included with Gutsy [03:57] trogdor: because the debian-multimedia repository has bigger packages and i would assume that means more plugins [03:57] zyxnull, thanks so much [03:57] youknowme: I run Google Earth, Wine, and other big apps in 64-bit (GE needs some coaxing to get its installer to run but after that, it runs fine) [03:57] with that output is my video card driver installed well? http://pastebin.com/m74e7f9dc - if so why It doesn't show me a nvidia screen before I login to my gnome like my fiesty did.??? [03:57] zetheroo: copy it from feisty or online with google image search [03:58] has anyone upgraded to the new Ubuntu? [03:58] trogdor: there is no Splash Screen manager like in fiesty [03:58] mannytu: yes, someone has [03:58] mannytu, i have [03:58] ToHellWithGA: just just search gstreamer 10 in synaptic and grab all those not ending in -doc or -dbg :) [03:58] did you have problem? [03:58] none, but i did it off a fresh hd [03:58] trogdor: it's a version conflict. i know which packages i want but they need dependencies not available in gutsy due to naming conventions alone [03:59] * Rabiddog sighs its spammer friday in some channels [03:59] with that output is my video card driver installed well? http://pastebin.com/m74e7f9dc - if so why It doesn't show me a nvidia screen before I login to my gnome like my fiesty did.??? [03:59] zetheroo: did you see the splash screens they were going to use for gutsy though? they sucked horribly, like big eye sores [03:59] trogdor: no ... actually I did not see them..... where are they? [03:59] anyone, I have a non-scsi drive (/dev/hda), cloned from a scsi source (/dev/sda), and the cloned non-scsi thinks that it's still a /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda. I'm getting problems with it, since It operates very slow (I think because it cannot enable DMA). Please help. How do I change /dev/sda device to /dev/hda? [03:59] ToHellWithGA: perhaps if you mentioned what it is your trying to install that requires such older codecs? [04:00] Hey, I just installed Gutsy. I'm trying to install XChat and I'm getting an error about it needing at least tcl 8.4.5 and that it is not available. [04:00] IntuitiveNipple, ok, I'm gonna start downloading the 64Bit version. Heh, my upgrade to 7.10 crashed for some reason, I'm not sure why, the screen went blank and had line skewed through it. I figure all was lost, I saved the HDD though and I'm using a different one. Hopefully I can get some of my media and stuff of it lol. Heck I even had a backup of my original system, but even after flashing the drive with that I still had problems to the [04:00] has anyone tried out 7.10 on the ubuntu dells [04:00] T1m: xchat is available as a package under xchat-common [04:00] IdleOne -- Thank you [04:00] how do i set it so all my running programs are shown at once, even if they are in a different workspace on my cube? [04:00] zetheroo: eh don't feel like grabbing it off my other comp, sure you can find them some where. I really liked default one they had on dapper for ubuntu though. [04:00] T1m: was it an update or fresh? [04:01] mannytu: fresh [04:01] I am on a dell 1501 with ubuntu [04:01] T1m: always search in Syanptic before compiling :) [04:01] i use xchat gnome [04:01] I'm sitting here right now using the 7.10 Live CD ready to install. I've reached the "partitions" part and don't know what to do. I only have 1 hard disk, it is currently formatted as NTFS and it has Windows XP on it. I want to install Ubuntu now but don't want to erase the stuff on the old partition. Should I "Manual" partition or "Guided?" [04:01] trogdor: gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad requires libwavpack0 >=4.31, gutsy has libwavpack1 4.41, the same library with a different name [04:01] youknowme: Clean install will probably help then, but I'd recommend also you create a separate /home paritition during installation to avoid issues with your documents and settings in the future... saves a *lot* of hassle [04:01] idleone -- i am in synaptic, i just thought i would need to get the regular xchat package too [04:01] friend has a 3com etherfast nic card and installed ubuntu edgy...and it didn't detect his nic card so he has no inet...is there a way to fix it? [04:01] just wondering since the latest CF updates blacklisted the 1420n [04:01] can somebody help me with my vga driver? [04:01] T1m: nope you dont [04:02] Shoopuf: That depends on you, if you're a beginner the do the guided [04:02] shoopuf guided [04:02] TokenBad: does the card not show at all? in lspci/lshw ? [04:02] Sorry I disconnected... [04:02] thanks [04:02] TokenBad: What 3com nic, there are many of them [04:02] Shoopuf: I *think* Guided, but you can try it and if it isn't what you want you can always return to previous steps and change the options, before you go ahead and install [04:02] Shoopuf: That depends on you, if you're a beginner the do the guided [04:02] hi [04:03] zyxnull, all he tells me is a 3com etherfast card [04:03] IntuitiveNipple, Oh thats a good idea XD I'll check that out, thanks! [04:03] is it possible to install beryl if i already have xgl-compiz on my Gutsy ? [04:03] OK thanks guys I'll do guided, I just don't want to lose any of my old partition (although I backed up a significant amount of it.) [04:03] is this channel and the #ubuntu on ubuntu's IRC the same? [04:03] why would you want to install beryl? [04:03] for the mac os full mode [04:03] bmk789: uh huh [04:03] anyone know how I can get ardour to install as it will not allow me through add/remove for some reason? the selection box is grey. [04:03] is there a ubuntu help channel anywhere? [04:03] i want the dock [04:03] i havent repartitioned since breezy badger, but the rule of thumb used to be to alway repartition ahead of time and never trust the partition managers supplied with the disk [04:03] i need help with wireless networking on ubuntu [04:03] Prax: you're in it [04:03] TekenBad: Try to find out wich chip he's using, many 3com chips have become legacy and not supported anymore, specially on 2.6 kernels [04:04] great [04:04] I wanna do like half the hard disk is NTSF with Windows XP (for games) and the other half is Ubuntu (for everything that isn't games) [04:04] T1m: in Termial type apt-cach policy tcl8.4 will show you the avalilable version [04:04] I am having alot of bad luck with ati and my monitor [04:04] T1m: in Termial type apt-cache policy tcl8.4 will show you the avalilable version [04:04] or is there a mac osx theme for compiz ? [04:04] Partition Magic is usually your best option. [04:04] ToHellWithGA: then try doing whatever it is you are with a force option [04:04] Shoopuf: First, do a BACKUP, it wont hurt if you do that in case you mess something [04:04] how can i get 5.1 surround sound working in gutsy? [04:04] dont use Norton stuff , they will ruin your hdd [04:04] can you use knoppix and qtparted to partition a windows/linux dual boot system? [04:05] ntfs-3g's ntfsresize does the job well - I've never had it go ga-ga :) [04:05] actually i did that and i can't boot into vista now [04:05] tux: what is 5.1 surround sound? [04:05] !gparted | racarter [04:05] racarter: 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 [04:05] anyone have some experince with ATI cards and oddly shapped monitors? [04:05] i have ati card [04:05] but then again, back during breezy badger linux wasnt handling NTFS very well. [04:05] regardless i used qtparted on knoppix though [04:05] IdleOne: None is installed, and no candidate is available. [04:05] I too have a shitty ATI Radeon 9700 card [04:05] Prax: a little.. [04:05] i hace X1950XT [04:05] have* even [04:06] T1m: do you have universe and multiverse repos anabled [04:06] ? [04:06] the issue is ubuntu never saves my monitor settings at reboot [04:06] trogdor: my mobo is capable of 5.1 surround sound and I have a 5.1 surround sound headset and i wanted all the speakers to work instead of just two and I was wondering how to accomplish it [04:06] weird [04:06] it always reverts back to "standard" graphics [04:06] did u installed the ati drivers ? [04:06] Prax: try using dccprobe located in xresprobe package to get monitor specs, look up www.monitorworld.com to find out info about the monitor if you don't have it on hand. [04:06] with that output is my video card driver installed well? http://pastebin.com/m74e7f9dc - if so why It doesn't show me a nvidia screen before I login to my gnome like my fiesty did.??? help please [04:06] IdleOne: Yeah [04:07] tux: umm well have you tried playing with the mixer app? [04:07] lol the ati catalyst is crazy [04:07] how do i get the size of a directory in console? [04:07] T1m: weird because tcl8.4 is in main so it should show you [04:07] it says i have no ati drivers installed [04:07] T1m: Candidate: 8.4.15-1build1 [04:07] Version table: [04:07] *** 8.4.15-1build1 0 [04:07] trogdor: no xD [04:07] org: The nvidia splash is turned off by default now [04:07] tux: I really don't know myself lol.. is there any hardware that isn't working for you listed on dmesg or lshw? [04:07] org: probably ahve it set to not show it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:07] org: it can be turned off [04:07] T1m: your on gutsy ? [04:07] IdleOne: ahh main wasn't enabled [04:07] IntuitiveNipple, ok nvidia splash is turned off, then how can I know that my nvidia driver is installed very well? [04:08] thedonvaughn, ok nvidia splash is turned off, then how can I know that my nvidia driver is installed very well? [04:08] IdleOne: yeah i'm on gutsy, seems to be working now [04:08] trogdor: umm i don't think so but then again i dunno lol [04:08] howdy folks. when i run compiz in terminal i get the following error message: Less than 65536kb of memory and nVidiaaborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity [04:08] is there a workaround for the memory limitation? [04:08] Hi all, I am not able to add mp3 files to amarok, it says some media could not be loaded(not playable). Plz help me [04:08] org: lsmod to see if the module is loaded? lshw to see if the hardware is claimed. glxinfo to see what your card can do [04:08] T1m: in any case you dont need to install it anymore but you can if you like. [04:08] xgl-compiz is amazing [04:08] never tested it before [04:09] IdleOne: thanks :) [04:09] well I got the splash screen working [04:09] org: in particular glxinfo|grep "direct" to see how it has direct rendering setup [04:09] if id have wow on linux id quit on MS [04:09] org: System > Administration > Screens and Graphics [04:09] how can i change my default alsa audio device?

[04:09] org: If the Graphics Card driver shows as "nvidia" it is loaded and working [04:09] and it runs bad :( [04:09] ok IntuitiveNipple in the graphic card tab it says i have "nvidia" [04:09] is there a utility that lets me run a program in a sandbox? eg, i just downloaded poweriso and need it to extract a daa file, but i don't trust it to be crapware-free. i know i can create a user and run it as that, but that's a hassle to do per app per run [04:09] i killed it and it wont restart now [04:10] was in the middle of upgrading packages [04:10] mikeo2: how long ago? [04:10] tux: there are lots of volume levels and sound switching options. Its a science of its own using the sound mixing options, there also a lot of alternative sound daemons to use and special kernels options/modification for better sound quality [04:10] a while ago [04:10] anyone has that osx dock ? [04:10] just killed it now [04:10] trogdor: what i'd really like to do is alias libwavpack0 to libwavpack1 because they are clearly the same thing with a different name [04:10] mikeo2: what error you getting? [04:10] simdock? [04:10] no error [04:10] it just froze [04:10] timewriter: someone has that osx dock [04:10] the dock bar === jmantra is now known as GutsyJmantra [04:10] i bet someone has it [04:10] ToHellWithGA: no, no one does! [04:10] I am not able to add mp3 files to amarok, it says "some media could not be loaded(not playable)". Plz help me [04:10] mikeo2: what error when you try to run it? [04:10] and i killed it with xkill after i got sick of waiting for it when it wasn't responding [04:10] getdeb has simdock [04:10] zeeeee: You could do it in a virtual machine guest using QEMU [04:11] no error nothing happens [04:11] i wish that SOMEONE tells me how to get it for compiz [04:11] trogdor: oh boy. looks like more work than i intended lol [04:11] ToHellWithGA: hmm you would have to figure out how apt lists what is installed or perhaps find the directories relevant to that codec and change it.. [04:11] is there a command to run it from cli [04:11] mikeo2: sudo upgrade-manager -c [04:12] tux: if you just want the sound working on extra speakers shouldn't be too hard, I like to listen to streamed music and stuff while gaming so its bit different [04:12] * byro2 dsdf [04:12] why does the recycle bin take a freakin' 8 seconds to open? [04:12] is it at all possible to take one of these boot images and install it locally? http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install [04:12] Is there a way to play password protected MMS streams? [04:12] is it safe to install grub to the mbr if vista is already installed before installing ubuntu [04:12] there is no upgrade-manager installed [04:12] how can i change my default alsa audio device? is there any decent ubuntu documentation for alsa? [04:12] Casey: mms? [04:12] IntuitiveNipple, i'll give that a shot [04:12] Hello folks. [04:12] casey: what apps normally play those? [04:12] its ubuntu-server with kde and gnome installed on it by the way [04:13] any idea how hard it is to set up? it seems like i'd have to install an os into qemu, etc. [04:13] KeithWeisshar: Usually yes. [04:13] trogdor: im used to that on windows and thats why I was trying to do it with linux lol [04:13] trogdor: winamp, windows media player, etc? [04:13] running kde on it right now [04:13] zeeeee: virtual box man ;) [04:13] what happened to the "expose" plugin for compiz-fusion? [04:13] mikeo2: try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and see what it sayd [04:13] trogdor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Media_Services [04:13] Is it gone now in gutsy? [04:13] Keithweisshar, I have a dual boot on the laptop right now, it works flawlessly and it even autodetected my vista partition and added automatically, talk about nice!! [04:13] prakriti: it's still there. do you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed? [04:13] TROGDOR WAS A MAN.. no... he was a dragon man!!! well... maybe he was just a dragon.. but he was still TROGDORRRRRRRRRR!!! Burninating the country side, burninating the peasants, in their THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!!! THATCHED ROOF COTTAGES!!!!!! [04:14] alright, I'm done... [04:14] trogdor, looking [04:14] zeeeee: that's it... using qemu-launcher (an apt-get install) you'll get a nice GUI dialog front-end. With that you can quickly mount the ISO installer CD image as a CD, and boot the QEMU guest from it, install, and off you go [04:14] ahhh [04:14] you shouldn't have started [04:14] told me to run dpkg --configure -a [04:14] and seems to be starting where it left off [04:14] mikeo2: cool :) [04:14] hello there. Im trying gutsy amd64. Is there any 'it sucks huge amounts of ram' issue known? [04:15] froze from the PAM upgrade === DGJ__ is now known as DGJ [04:15] cause it couldnt restart xdm [04:15] biggahed: No [04:15] riotkittie : yeah I have it, been looking up and down through the options but I cant find it, is it under another plugin? [04:15] * Pir8 is loving gutsy! [04:15] Casey: well winamp can be run under wine, and there are much more efficient open source alternatives to streaming video and music. [04:15] command line is allowing it to continue on though [04:15] Am using a feisty on amd64 [04:15] trogdor: I've tried all. [04:15] I think I just got a whole yard closer to ditching windows :) [04:15] does anyone know if ATI has published thier new linux flglx driver yet? [04:15] by the way... whats with the shit wallpaper? [04:15] Casey: your looking for video or more so music? [04:15] i thought the 10,000 request for the animal themes changed it [04:15] !ohmy | mikeo2 [04:16] mikeo2: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. [04:16] Anyone able to successfully setup dual monitor support with a GeForce 8 Series card ? [04:16] trogdor: video [04:16] mikeo2: It's to encourage you to be creative [04:16] mikeo2 : the ubuntu guys had monkies fling poo at a canvas for the new gutsy wallpaper. [04:16] sorry didn't think it was bad [04:16] my compiz won't enable in Gusty Gibbon. I try to enable it, but after x restarts, compiz is still disabled. does anyone have any idea what is wrong? [04:16] Pir8: yes [04:16] argh, there's got to be a way to do this [04:16] i might open a bug report then... 850+ running almost nothing is too much [04:16] i've just installed ubuntu (using text install). Was I wrong to _not_ choose LVM? [04:16] c_plus_plus: i googled that issue [04:16] biggahed what's the problem? [04:16] biggahed: Which processes using the most? [04:16] i'm still trying to find a solution [04:16] prakriti: it would look better than the current one [04:16] prakriti: should be in the "desktop" category in CCSM. second icon in the second row. [04:16] you can run compiz and tell it to skip the checks [04:16] Vlet, did you have to modify lot of things in the config or was it just a snap ? [04:17] Pir8: I'm not at the system now though, so I can't post my xorg, but all I had to do was add: option "Twinview" to my device section [04:17] mpeters: i haven't been able to find anything [04:17] its not something like app x is using humungous amounts of ram. The system as a whole is [04:17] riotkittie : thats expo, I was looking for expose.. the one where the windows all jump into view [04:17] ok [04:17] Vlet I shall give that a try, thanks mate. [04:17] i had a blacklisted pci on one box i installed it on, but if you disable the checks it works [04:17] hello [04:17] biggahed, in a terminal type free -m, what is the number under cached? [04:17] biggahed: Mine's using about that with Firefox, xchat, evolution, K3B and compiz and a few others loaded [04:17] mpeters: what did you search? [04:17] can ubuntu solve all my problems? [04:17] prakriti: ctrl-alt-up [04:17] ? [04:17] no [04:17] IntuitiveNipple: woot ! let's try with kvm and hope there's no bug .. [04:17] :( [04:17] Prax: #ubuntu-offtopic for that question [04:18] IntuitiveNipple: thanks [04:18] astro76, -/+ buffers/cache: 847 1166 [04:18] Casey: well I use miro, think vlc has some streaming options, vnc or dxmcp over ssh for remote desktop video. [04:18] Pir8: oh, it's: Option "TwinView" "1" [04:18] Vlet ok [04:18] evening [04:18] hi guys [04:18] oops. hold on a sec, prakriti. i think its under window managament, but im not sure which... hold. maybe shift switcher? [04:18] when should one use (and not use) LVM for partitioning? [04:18] biggahed, no the first row that says Mem: [04:18] can any1 help me with calculator problems? [04:18] ok, sounds like virtualbox is more advanced, and that qemu in the repos is actually the emulator, and not the latest virtualizer (qemu accelerator) [04:18] Casey: you might be missing some codecs and therefor having problems, ubuntu uses gstreamer codec packages [04:18] biggahed, last value on that row [04:18] What it the best driver for a radeon x1270 on fiesty [04:18] errr or scale, prakriti [04:19] do u know, is there any way to upgrade 7.04 from a cd ? [04:19] hello [04:19] ? [04:19] scale! it's scale. [04:19] astro76, 936 [04:19] c_plus_plus: apparently you can sudo gedit /usr/bin/compiz and change the NVIDIA_MEMORY="" and just set it to 32 MB instead. Done [04:19] G0dl1k3, cool. Not. [04:19] !ask mrpyrover666 [04:19] ok on topic question then, I have installed the restricted drivers in ubuntu for ATI cards and it keeps rebooting in low graphics mode, I have a ATI 9600 [04:19] oh otay [04:19] !ask | mrpyrover666 [04:19] mrpyrover666: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [04:19] mpeters: ill try that [04:19] mkay [04:19] it worked for me [04:19] i have an 8500GT monitor. i also have a 16:9 definition monitor. will ubuntu gutsy desktop edition work for me or should i use the alternate installer and then something like envy to get nvidia working ? [04:19] i hope it helps you [04:19] !ask i need help with my ti84 plus [04:19] Having trouble getting some of the keyboard keys to work correctly -windows key for one setting as generic 104 keyboard but is a logitech Wireless EX110 not one of my choices and errors out if i try to cahnge it any ideas? [04:20] does anyone here have an ATI graphics card with dual monitor setup? [04:20] biggahed, when ram is not being used in Linux, it is used as a disk cache to speed up your system, and is freed immediately when needed [04:20] Hello, I've had this problem some time now with different audio-cards, I use S/PDIF as audio-output, but the mic-input to my card doesn't get outputted on S/PDIF, is there any way to "fix" it so that my mic-input goes over the S/PDIF? (I'm using ALC883 audio-controller) [04:20] is there any way to move my entire ubuntu install to another hdd without losing any data/settings? [04:20] mrpyrover666: just state your issue [04:20] Prax: sounds like a monitor problem. Fix your resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf check ddcprobe to see what your monitor supports [04:20] biggahed, so you see Linux handles memory much differently than Windows, and your system is fine ;) [04:20] mrpyrover666: just ask your question, don't ask to ask your question [04:20] Prax, I had a similar problem [04:20] i didn't type that right c_plus_plus [04:20] well i dont know how to connect it to my laptop with ubuntu [04:20] avis: 16:9 and nvidia has always been detected fine in the installs I've done [04:20] how do i do it? [04:20] linux's memory handling <3 [04:20] IntuitiveNipple: using feisty's qemu on gutsy works fine .. [04:20] Prax: and set your refresh rates, helps some maybe turn color settings from 24 to 16 [04:20] mpeters: mine says "NVIDIA_MEMORY="65536" # 64MB" [04:21] my monitor isn't listed in the list of options and non of the "Genric" ones are sticking [04:21] thanks IntuitiveNipple. it failed for me with feisty i'm hoping it'll work in gutsy. [04:21] ? [04:21] I have found the refreash rate on amazon I just need to know which file to plug the numbers into [04:21] Prax: you can put whatever you like in that quotation as a reminder of which monitor brand it is, not really important [04:21] hmm [04:21] if i want ubuntu to read my windows NTFS partition, do i FIRST install ubuntu and THEN download the NTFS 3G driver? or another order? [04:21] avis: Gutsy has got a lot better thanks to newer Xorg and Gnome [04:21] drat [04:22] joanki: supposively gusty has ntfs3g by default [04:22] oh wow [04:22] joanki: Usually Gutsy will install ntfs-3g [04:22] wastrel: it does [04:22] I just upgraded to gutsy. My sound is all sticky now. What can I do? [04:22] c_plus_plus: as a test, try running SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz [04:22] Prax: /etc/X11/xorg.conf try reading here to see how to put it in http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html use ctrl F to search down the page [04:22] i dunno, not having any ntfs drives [04:22] ntfs is stupid [04:22] just to get some eyecandy and test it out [04:22] !ask [04:22] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [04:22] mrpyrover666: the package you want is called tilp2 [04:22] How do i connect my Ti84 with ubuntu? [04:22] tilp2 [04:23] hmm [04:23] I also have another problem [04:23] astro76, im not a just converted linux user. Been using it for 6-7 years by now, so i know some of the diferences. But ive used some other amd64 bits distros and none of them ever used such a huge amount of ram for nothing. [04:23] jrgp: lick it? lol I'd just download the gutsy cd and install then move my files over from back up [04:23] How can I totally eliminate sticky noises from rhythmbox? [04:23] is ntfs-config supposed to be able to mount something? [04:23] mpeters: sorry i don't understand what you are asking me to do [04:23] Im having problems updating [04:23] any wireless wizards around? [04:23] mrpyrover666: most people in here are :) [04:23] jrgp: well if this has been an ongoing problem and not a bug [04:23] hey. how can i tell what version of nvidia drivers i'm running and how to upgrade to the latest version? [04:23] meh, that would be extremely annoying as I have like 100 gigs of stuff [04:23] anybody but me here use wubi? [04:24] Casey: you might be missing some codecs and therefor having problems, ubuntu uses gstreamer codec packages [04:24] jrgp: perhaps try changing some alsa options or the frequence its running at [04:24] well, there is no static in amarok [04:24] it doesn't have to do anything with codecs [04:24] !anyone | darkcrab [04:24] darkcrab: 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? [04:24] Casey: yeah? [04:24] vlet can i send u my error in private chat? [04:24] that's amazing you can run the operating system from the cd! [04:24] where can I access the also stuff and the frequence? [04:24] I'm having a problem sharing folders to a windows machine using Samba... I would like to either set up a username/password for my windows box to log in with or completely disable the need to use a user/pass. Unfortunately the use of "smbpasswd" yields an error resulting in no pass being created [04:24] i have a workaround for ath0 problems on gutsy but I don't have the faintest idea where to fix it [04:24] mrpyrover666: no [04:24] oh [04:24] ok [04:24] Casey: I know I type so sexy don't I ^^ [04:24] can somebody help me, I cannot remove virtual box. It keeps giving me errors [04:24] well its really weird [04:24] tarvid: where's the workaround? [04:24] hey anyone knows how to check which version of nvidia drivers im currently running? [04:25] trogdor: its a type of connection, not a type of format [04:25] mpeters: did you want me to put SKIPCHECKS=YES in the compiz file? [04:25] what should I do then? [04:25] Oni-Dracula: would solving the smbpasswd issue be the best solution? [04:25] biggahed, well you shouldn't take offense as it's a very common new user question... but if it's used as cache it's not being used for nothing, and you have to consider used-cached as the true amount of used ram [04:25] joeb3_, ifdown ath0, ifup ath0 [04:25] ok sorry, is it ok to use wubi to install ubuntu and use it indefinitely? [04:25] Can anyone help me with Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon? I can't update my graphics card! [04:25] mrpyrover666: well, there are A LOT of people in here, and there's a good chance that I won't know the answer to your question, but someone else might [04:25] nah [04:25] anyone here get SElinux configured properly? [04:25] can somebody tell me how to remove virtual box [04:25] casey: just saying if your missing the codecs for streaming stuff might be a problem [04:25] IntuitiveNipple, if it's the shortest method of allowing my ubuntu shares to be accessed by my windows machine - yes [04:25] c_plus_plus: rather, try changing that value from 65535 to 32768 [04:25] I keep getting this error : 2:30pm-7:00pm [04:25] and save [04:25] then try running compiz again [04:25] trogdor: well its not [04:25] im also having problems with my graphics card in gutsy gibbon [04:25] I mean mine is really random the error is sooo long [04:25] uh... ok [04:25] There was an error committing changes. There was possibly a problem downloading some packages, or else the commit would break packages. [04:25] joeb3_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/153376 [04:25] im trying to mount a networked machine using sshfs, but I get this error: fuse: failed to exec fusermount: Permission denied [04:26] Oni-Dracula: I agree :) How are you running smbpasswd, and what is the error? [04:26] navets: sudo apt-get remove virtualbox [04:26] i finally got my hdd to partition properly!! [04:26] how can i run compiz on gutsy??? [04:26] mrpyrover666: then use pastebin to post it and paste the link to it here [04:26] SirGlacious: tried, it doesn't work [04:26] !paste | mrpyrover666 [04:26] mrpyrover666: 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) [04:26] astro76, none taken :) im just puzzled by this weird behavior. For me at least. I dont see the i386 version caching so agressively [04:26] navets: search for it in synaptic right click and choose completely remove. You might still see it trying to close off virtual box on shutdown because it wasn't removed but worry not because it was, if it showed up on ps then it wasn't. [04:26] IntuitiveNipple, lol I think i just figured out - I'm not using sudo and I'm getting "Could not connect to machine 127.0.0.1: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" [04:26] How do I update my Nvidia driver? I tried in the Restricted Driver Manager but it won't work [04:26] Oni-Dracula: oh duh :p [04:26] Any idea how I can install ALSA 1.0.15? [04:26] navets: oh and click apply too [04:26] mpeters: restarting x [04:26] @ marcosoria81: got to system -> preferences -> appearence [04:26] hello [04:26] uhh, gutsy has so many issues. used to be that all I had to do was insert in my SD card and a nautilus window would pop up. Not any more. now it's not mounted at all! thanks gutsy! [04:26] if I have gnome-terminal running in fullscreen, and I have another window in front of that, I sometimes lose the top window (gnome-terminal comes to the front when I click on the top window's title bar to move it, for instance) [04:27] trogdor: I tried that, that is where I get the error message [04:27] IntuitiveNipple, your nipple is truly intuitive [04:27] Oni-Dracula: :p [04:27] hello [04:27] i can't get my 6 & 7 button mouse to work right, I tried everything from tutorials and sites that I googl'ed none has working, but they worked for me in fiesty, can somebody help me please. [04:27] navets: error message with what? [04:27] ok so i am trying to instal 7.1 but instead it is coming up with loading the operating system from the cd [04:27] org check to see if your old configs got overwritten [04:27] how do i actually INSTALL it [04:27] trogdor: Synamptic, the message pops up saying: There was an error committing changes. There was possibly a problem downloading some packages, or else the commit would break packages. [04:27] how do i get compiz fusion icon? [04:27] gutsy is so new that bugs are bound to happen. in a month most of these problems might be solved due to patches and updates. have patience [04:27] mpeters: that didn't help [04:27] when I try to enable "extra" under visual effects, I get: "The copmosite extension if not available". What does that mean/what do I do? [04:27] im using feisty... i just found out that the network icon disappeared from the gnome bar... that one that let me choose wired or wireless network [04:28] It there a maximum resolution for a inspiron 1521 15"? [04:28] biggahed, on i386 Feisty, I have 2026 total, 1961 used, 65 free, but 1489 is cached [04:28] how can i put it back there? [04:28] mikeo2, old configs? No what i've edited is there in my xorg.conf now [04:28] didn't work though [04:28] here it is [04:28] is anyone here using an ATI graphics card on a dual monitor setup? [04:28] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41266/plain/ [04:28] is it a logitech mouse? [04:28] logyati: make sure the notification area applet is in your panel [04:28] When I try to update my Nvidia Graphics Card Driver, it says "The software source for the package 'nvidia-glx-new' is not enabled" [04:28] navets: perhaps you should consult their website then... or download sources and view the readme section for uninstall [04:28] joanki: If using the LiveCD Desktop CD, let it boot from the CD. Once it has booted, there's an "Install" icon on the desktop. Dbl-click that, and it'll start the installer wizard [04:28] yes it is, i can see xchat and pidgin icon [04:28] trogdor: k [04:28] navets: its been a while since I used that stuff [04:28] wow [04:28] this is pretty amazing [04:28] i've never used linux before [04:29] and this is cooler than a mac! [04:29] oxeimon: I did until I got sick of not being able to use compiz, and bought an nvidia ;) [04:29] mikeo2, yep. [04:29] MPETERS: that didn't help [04:29] joanki: don't speak too soon :p [04:29] nothing is cooller than my mac [04:29] why, intuitive? [04:29] oxeimon, yes I didi [04:29] cause when i upgraded my hardware in fiesty all my dual monitors and mouse buttons broke cause xorg got reconfigured, but i just restored the relevant parts of the old version and it worked again === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [04:29] in system/admin/screens and graphics/, my monitors are not in the list. What should I do? I have 2 monitors [04:29] wastrel, so? [04:29] joanki: 'pride before the fall' and all that :) [04:29] I am upgrading to Gutsy with update-manager, I have apt-listbugs installed, I keep getting the prompt "Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages?[N/?/...] " no matter how may times I say 'y' [04:29] joanki: Or... 'tempting fate' [04:29] hmmmm you trying to hint something here about the system [04:29] My 2 monitors are 1) NEC MultiSync FP2141SB and 2) AOC 9Klr. Please advise [04:29] mu: how do you set up dual monitors? [04:29] astro76, i was folowing the whole development of the i386 from tribe3. ive never seen it use more than 700mb of the 2gb i have in here(and thats with a firefox running for a long time). This is weird... anyways... lets see how things go in the next days [04:29] joanki: No... but don't celebrate too prematurely :) [04:29] logyati: i dunno , i don't use network manager. [04:29] Heres my update error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41266/plain/ [04:29] anyone having problems acessing ntfs filesystems on gusty? [04:29] wastrel, i dont think that icon belongs to notification area [04:30] k [04:30] ok im gonna ask it again [04:30] mikeo2, can you help me [04:30] i love linux, but I still think OS X is better. [04:30] how to i put the network mnager icon back? [04:30] i thought it used the notification area [04:30] i hate osx , think linux is much bettert [04:30] oxeimon, just a sec [04:30] ok but seriously [04:30] so we cancel each other out [04:30] When I try to update my Nvidia Graphics Card Driver, it says "The software source for the package 'nvidia-glx-new' is not enabled" [04:30] why is it that my selected city is nyc, and then it says the time is 4:30 pm? [04:30] hehe [04:30] logyati: back where? the nm-applet icon appears when NetworkManager is in use and available [04:31] biggahed, could this be an improvement then? ;) as far as I know taking advantage of unused ram as disk cache is desirable === saucisson_ is now known as saucisson [04:31] it says where are you? [04:31] IntuitiveNipple, im using this network manager... the icon just desappeared [04:31] biggahed, or am I missing something? [04:31] joanki: mac is also unix based but not open source so less perks and restricted to mac hardware. http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/11 and http://www.winehq.org/ you might find interesting [04:31] it says New York, which i am [04:31] What the hell is a dynamic mmap [04:31] but then it sets my time way off [04:31] bluebanana: do you have an nvidia card? [04:31] by 7 hours [04:31] oxeimon, aticonfig --initial=dual-head [04:31] mpeters? [04:31] Vlet: When I try to update my Nvidia Graphics Card Driver, it says "The software source for the package 'nvidia-glx-new' is not enabled" [04:31] n [04:31] m [04:31] there is a lot of open source software written for the mac [04:32] yeah but you have to run it on mac os [04:32] astro76, i dunno... im thinking some lib compiles got screwed somehow [04:32] joanki: That is probably because your system's hardware time is set to NY time, not UTC as is expected. When you set the timezone it offsets the hardware time according to the timezone you're in [04:32] darkcrab, That doesn't change the fact that with a mac your OS is mostly proprietary [04:32] alcaponage: in your software sources control panel, make sure you have universe and multiverse enabled [04:32] thats true [04:32] thx [04:32] darkcrab, Or rather, with a mac running OS X ;) [04:32] guys i did an update to gutsy so far so good but im still using metacity how do i enable compiz? i thought it came by default? [04:32] Is any1 else getting Dynamic Mmap error when trying to upgrade? [04:32] there is no point in running linux on a mac anymore. [04:33] well, a ppc mac that is [04:33] logyati: Do you see nm-applet listed doing "ps -ef | grep nm-applet" ? [04:33] arang2, What GFX card do you have? [04:33] @grjp, i need to enable the accelerated graphic driver, but here is where im having trouble, i have an geforce4 mx 400 and havent been able to load the driver, i also tried with an ati 9800pro without success [04:33] if I have gnome-terminal running in fullscreen, and I have another window in front of that, I sometimes lose the top window (gnome-terminal comes to the front when I click on the top window's title bar to move it, for instance) [04:33] darkcrab, Why do you say that? [04:33] mikeo2, should i remove this? Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" [04:33] Vlet: Ic, can I enable all of them or just universe and multiverse? [04:33] uhh, gutsy has so many issues. used to be that all I had to do was insert in my SD card and a nautilus window would pop up. Not any more. now it's not mounted at all! thanks gutsy! [04:33] Jordan_U: im running Nvidia 6600 with nvidia closed drivers 100.14.19 installed by gutsy [04:33] all ppc linux versions are slowly dieing out even yellow dog. [04:33] theres no support. [04:33] org not sure running xp right now [04:34] upgrading my server tho [04:34] org: if you have a 800,000 button mouse, you probably don't need that [04:34] :( [04:34] on firefox, when i change a page with a flash video that is playing, or close the tab, sometimes firefox crashes. is this a known problem? [04:34] wastrel, I need 7 [04:34] alcaponage: yeah, restricted too... yeah, all of em [04:34] wastrel, I use my 6 and 7 button... [04:34] ok still having problems with samba: I've added a password using smbpasswd (this time giving it root), but my windows box is getting an invalid username/password error. I'm using the username that's on here (ubuntu gutsy) and the password set up by smbpasswd [04:34] damn gutsy [04:34] i meant you proably dont need "emulate 3 butons " true [04:34] arang2, Try turning it on in System -> Preferences -> Appearance [04:34] cin I think so, it happens to me too, and I've heard other people complain about it [04:34] Vlet: thanks [04:34] there are some great programs to bind the extra buttons [04:34] org ^^^ [04:34] I am upgrading to Gutsy with update-manager, I have apt-listbugs installed, I keep getting the prompt "Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages?[N/?/...] " no matter how may times I say 'y' [04:34] i use them to control xmms :) [04:34] d4rkmonkey, ahh. are there threads on the ubuntuforums? i'll check it out [04:34] cin: If you're using the Adobe non-free flash player and plugin, there are sometimes unexpected results like that, but they seem to come and go. [04:34] wastrel, I don't understand it. what is the emulate 3 buttons? [04:34] Anyone else use the Muine music player and find it crashes every time in Gutsy? [04:34] Jordan_U: roger on that [04:35] im stuck again - it asks how do i want to partition the disk? guided and it only says new partition size is 55% at 19.2 GB, but i reserved 37 GB in drive d: for this... how do i know if it is getting the right partition? it doesn't say drive d? [04:35] hello. Im trying to enable compiz in gusy, but when i click on efects and X restarts, after loging back in, effects are still disabled [04:35] cin I'm not sure if there are threads anywhere... sorry, theres probably a bug about it already [04:35] org: it's for people with 2 button mice, so they click both buttons for 'middle click' [04:35] d4rkmonkey, ah, oki [04:35] IntuitiveNipple, i'm not sure which kind of flash i'm using. i'll find out [04:35] org: because the traditional x/unix mouse had 3 buttons [04:35] c_plus_plus, what graphics card d you have? [04:35] joanki: Do you have multiple drives? [04:35] wastrel, cool... thanks :) [04:35] i thought linux needed several partitions [04:35] * Jordan_U wonders if the devs missed a card in the blacklist [04:35] Geforce 6200 [04:35] um [04:36] i have an intel core 2 duo processor t5600 [04:36] darkcrab, it doesn't have to have, but it's better to have at least a couple of partitons [04:36] this is amazing how difficult it is to install fonts in ubuntu [04:36] i dunno what that means [04:36] joanki: I ask because you just said "drive d" which implies, in Windows terminology, a drive C too [04:36] spent almost 3 hours on it [04:36] Vlet: When I reload, the downloading repositories failed. [04:36] inigomontoya: GeForce 6200 [04:36] can someone help me with 7.10 i can't get moblock working [04:36] c_plus_plus has the restricted devices window popped up and installed the nvidia drivers for you? [04:36] yes i have a drive c [04:36] because i partitioned it already [04:36] i just put xp on drive c [04:36] !samba [04:36] 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 [04:36] and i gave c half [04:36] inigomontoya: yes, my restricted drivers are installed and running [04:36] difficult? all i had to do was create a fonts dircetory in ~ and move fonts there [04:36] where do i find "desktop effects" I want to disable them [04:36] or was it .fonts [04:37] joanki: Ok, so it sounds like you have one hard disk, but you're splitting it into partitions for Windows and Ubuntu? [04:37] I just opened up displayconfig-gtk and after changing properties for a second monitor and restarting, my primary monitor got completely messed up. How can I revert to old settings? [04:37] org: System>Prefs>Appearance [04:37] yes [04:37] i want ubuntu to get drive d [04:37] org: system > preferences ... on gutsy in appearance [04:37] the ubuntu partitioner should ask you how much you want partitioned. [04:37] riotkittie, .fonts [04:37] thanks [04:37] darkcrab: was there ever a reason for running linux on mac ppc? [04:37] not sure if it shrinks the xp partition or not [04:37] inigomontoya? [04:37] what do i do now, intuitivenipple? [04:38] Madpilot: i should have known :o [04:38] oxeimon, Look in /etc/X11/ and see if there is a backup of your old xorg.conf [04:38] if it was your only computer and you didnt want OS X trogdor. [04:38] c_plus_plus: try this, hit alt+f2 and type "compiz --replace" without quotes === csc` is now known as csc_ [04:38] IntuitiveNipple, d4rkmonkey, i can't complain much; flash and media integration in web browsers seems to have really improved on ubuntu since last year [04:38] Jordan_U: What will it look like? [04:38] c_plus_plus, if it does nothing try it in a terminal and pastebin what spits out [04:38] i have a geforce4 mx 400 and an ati radeon 9800 pro, i havent been able to congifure the acelerated driver for compiz, anyone can help me ??? [04:38] How can i fix the Icon in the xchat-gnome package [04:38] trogdor, I used to run it :) [04:38] inigomontoya: I already have, it restarts x, and when i log back in, no difference [04:38] inigomontoya: ok [04:38] halo... [04:38] darkcrab: oh I thought there was a specific hardware reason to run linux on it [04:39] oxeimon, It will start with "xorg.conf" and probably end in a date [04:39] not really, no [04:39] joanki: To save confusion it helps not to use the Windows disk lettering language, since that doesn't apply to Linux at all. I'm guessing that right now you've got a physical disk drive (probably called /dev/sda) and it has one partition on it (/dev/sda1) containing Windows, and another partition (/dev/sda2 ?) that you're calling 'drive d' [04:39] more developer [04:39] hi everyone. i'm having trouble getting openGL apps to run in 640x480 resolution. higher resolutions work though. i turned off graphical desktop effects so i do not know what to do... [04:39] When I update my repository, the packages 'Translation en_CA' failed [04:39] Is that normal? [04:39] Jordan_U: no wonder you such a noob :P lol kidding [04:39] OK, I can't stand rythymbox (too cluttered) and muine in gutsy crashes. someone recommend a nice simple album player that actually works in gutsy, please? [04:39] yes [04:40] Jordan_U: When I start up ubuntu, everything looks compeltely messed up...I can't even see anything clearly [04:40] IntuitiveNipple, is "false" a valid option for "security = " in smb.conf ? [04:40] Anyone using Glade in 7.10? [04:40] what's an album player [04:40] inigmatoya: i have no way of knowing what the output was since x imediately restarted. [04:40] joanki: If I'm correct then I'm guessing that the installer thinks it should resize /dev/sda2 by about 50% to save whatever is in there, and install Ubuntu in the remainder [04:40] !ask | PokoTao [04:40] PokoTao: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [04:40] Cool, I got my mouse buttons to work! all of them :) [04:40] oxeimon, Try starting in recovery mode or try pressing ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a terminal === psyphen_ is now known as psyphen [04:40] I'm org btw. [04:40] when i try to run a 3d app in 640x480 (the default for games like briquolo) i get only a black screen. i already ran nvidia-xconfig and x still works but it didn't fix the problem. [04:40] Oni-Dracula: I'm not entirely sure, it's a long time since I messed with that. You'd have to check the documents. [04:40] wastrel, well, a music player, but one that can play whole albums - can't stand the iPod Shuffle style of one-track-at-random. [04:40] Madpilot, music? Amarok plays music collections... as does XMMS. XMMS is probably simplest; Amarok is like iTunes [04:41] oxeimon: switch /etc/X11/xorg.conf driver to vesa if you need to work in graphical setting, you can use nano to edit from recovery mode [04:41] Is there a way to stop programs from using the system beep. Whenever i backspace to the end, pidgin and xfire do a system beep and thats very annoying. [04:41] org got pwnt? [04:41] :-) [04:41] c_plus_plus: did you check your xorg log to see if it says anything about what happened? [04:41] the_darkside_986 do you have desktop effects enabled? [04:41] Madpilot: xmms? can't grip play as well as rip, that's nice & simple... [04:41] Madpilot: banshee. Or just setup MPD [04:41] IntuitiveNipple, I'm still having problems with samba - it's not accepting the username/password I'm giving it in winderz [04:41] dunno i never listen to music [04:41] oxeimon: I suggest you get direct rendering working for your card though to get better performance [04:41] darkcrab: i have disabled fancy desktop effects. [04:41] Sir_Sid, rmmod pcspkr [04:41] use audacious over xmms [04:41] funkyb: yeah I guess so [04:41] Jordan_U: So I have xorg.conf, xorg.conf~, xorg.conf.1, xorg.conf.2...etc [04:41] will my xorg.conf be different if i use the alternate cd instead of the desktop install cd ? i'm thinking about using the alternatve 7.10 install cd since it will be finished first before testing if 1680x1050 will work in the desktop cd. i was told the nvidia driver would support the 8500GT [04:41] trogdor: what's direct rendering? [04:41] hehe, just joking around of course [04:41] inigomontoya: where is the xlog stored? [04:41] Jordan_U, whats that do exactly? [04:41] how do i make vista the default grub option [04:41] trogdor: Everything was working fine until I messed with displayconfig-gtk [04:41] Oni-Dracula: check the local logs in /var/log/samba/ for clues [04:41] oxeimon: 3d stuffs with fancy shading and etc [04:42] does your monitor support the resolution your running it in? [04:42] c_plus_plus: /var/log/Xorg.0.log [04:42] Sir_Sid, It removes the driver that lets you send sound to your system beep hardware :) [04:42] trogdor: Yeah all that was working fine. I was just trying to get my dual-monitor setup working [04:42] Sir_Sid, You need to use sudo BTW [04:42] Jordan_U: Which xorg do I want? [04:42] oxeimon: did that app back up your xorg.conf file? perhaps its just a mater of renaming a few files [04:42] Jordan_U, Thanks. That beep has been driving me insane [04:42] whats different in the xorg.conf between a screen and a monitor? [04:42] ok, good point :). I'm trying to install Glade on 7.10, but Synaptic says glade-gnome requires glade-common >= 2.8. Unfortunately, Synaptic only has glade-common at 2.12. [04:42] oxeimon, I don't know [04:42] KeithWeisshar: in /boot/grub/menu.lst there is a "default directive" "default " where num is the number entry for Windows in grub. Start with counting from 0, so the first entry is 0. [04:42] oxeimon: if all else fails insert live cd and copy what settings it has [04:43] trogdor, That is what I suggested, he has many alternate backups in /etc/X11 for some reason [04:43] trogdor: I have a lot of different xorg.conf's, the current(bad) one: xorg.conf, and then also xorg.conf~, xorg.conf.1, xorg.conf.2...etc [04:43] if not the_darkside_986 go into the config file for the game, set the resolution to your current resolution, and see if that helps === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [04:43] IntuitiveNipple, funny that... all the logs are empty :) [04:43] Oni-Dracula: Is the smbd server actually running? :p [04:43] oxeimon: good luck then [04:43] darkcrab: ok i guess i can try that but this never happened in gutsy. i was wanting to run sauerbraten in 640x480 for performance reasons but 800x600 is fine. [04:44] *i mean feisty and dapper [04:44] oxeimon, Try any of them, since you havn't had any problems before they are likely all good, or just delete your current one and let X figure itself out on its own :) [04:44] gah... does anyone actually USE Rhythmbox? Goofy thing is far too complex for it's own good. Off to find something else - thanks for the suggestions, folks. [04:44] Oni-Dracula: " ps -ef | grep smbd" should show a couple of processes at least [04:44] is dapper still supported? [04:44] just curious, what's the command for restarting a computer from the terminal [04:44] mikeo2, Yes [04:44] Madpilot: Yes, I use it [04:44] is there a control panel to set the default os boot [04:44] oxeimon: shutdown -r now [04:45] the_darkside_986 have you reconfigured your driver while in gutsy? [04:45] oxeimon: shutdown -r now [04:45] hey all, does anyine here use Ktorrent? [04:45] mikeo2, It's a long term support release [04:45] ahhh ok [04:45] alcaponage: sorry, afk... you should pick another mirror [04:45] Madpilot: I use gtkpod for writing stuff to the iPod, too [04:45] jey [04:45] how about breeeze [04:45] mikeo2, No [04:45] I upgraded to gutsy and now ktorrent is gone, i uninstalled and reinstalled it, its in System monitor "Sleeping" [04:45] inigomontoya: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41269/ [04:45] moDumass: ktorrent user here [04:45] hry i udpate from 7.04 to 7.10 [04:45] KeithWeisshar, I think you have to edit the /boot/grub/menu.list file. [04:45] and now i have this [04:45] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [04:45] lol i think thats when i started with ubuntu, with breeze [04:45] hey guys, I'm about to reinstall everything and I was considering using the i_64 build [04:45] crud... easy question... how do i swich channels in here? [04:45] darkcrab: i have set up the latest nvidia-glx drivers. and i run my desktop at 1024x768 resolution (the highest without making the pitiful CRT asplode). i found the briquolo config file though... [04:46] Jaggs, /join #channelname [04:46] IntuitiveNipple, how do you queue entire albums up in rb? it only seems to do one album at a time, or queue individual tracks. [04:46] IntuitiveNipple, it's running... I think [04:46] JEFFmasterFlex, mine is in permanent sleep mode, any idea how to make it visible? [04:46] are there any quantitative benefits to using i_64a? [04:46] someone help [04:46] which editor [04:46] Talcite, I doubt that you have an itanium server :) [04:46] IntuitiveNipple: so what do i do now? [04:46] ohhhh i seeeeee [04:46] i upgrade to 7.10 and now i have error [04:46] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) === pwnt- is now known as asbani [04:46] Jordan_U: err yeah, whatever the 64 bit one works out to be =P [04:46] is there a way to cache everything in my ram? [04:46] moDumass: i have never heard of that happening. just kill it and restart. open up a terminal and type "killall ktorrent" without the quotes [04:47] i have 8gb so i think it can fit the whole os [04:47] IntuitiveNipple: so i should except the default? [04:47] 19.2 GB? [04:47] I have booted grub in recovery mode and sitting as root in terminal. How do I log in as a normal user ? [04:47] I have ubuntu installed on a single HD and I want to move the drive to a different ATA port. What configurations will I have to change to ensure that this transition is smooth? [04:47] but there should be MORE room than just 19.2 GB [04:47] Madpilot: create a playlist I think [04:47] there should be 37 [04:47] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [04:47] somoene here [04:47] IntuitiveNipple, I just shared a folder through nautilus and oddly enough it let me through... maybe doing so restarted the service? [04:47] bah [04:47] mikeo2, First of all, I hate you you lucky bastard, and second of all, yes [04:47] I'm trying to install Glade on 7.10, but Synaptic says glade-gnome requires glade-common >= 2.8. Unfortunately, Synaptic only has glade-common at 2.12. Also, the uncompiled version on the Glade website doesn't ./configure correctly. Is there a pre-compiled version or does anyone know what's going on? [04:47] varkulacite [04:47] IntuitiveNipple, gah. thanks. was afraid of that - this thing is too complicated for it's own good. [04:47] joanki: You could cancel the installer right now, delete the /dev/sda2 (drive d) partition manually, then restart the installer so it uses all that space [04:47] IntuitiveNipple, nevermind, its still not working... I'm an idiot [04:47] jordan_u is there a guide somewhere or something? [04:47] JEFFmasterFlex, yeh ive killed it a few times, when it restarts thats what it does though [04:47] mikeo2, Not sure if Ubuntu's kernel supports it by try adding the parameter "toram" [04:47] Madpilot: Yes, there are a few annoyances :) [04:47] the_darkside_986 a black screen means that there is something wrong with either your video settings, your game video settings, or your driver settings, so if you can't get it working, Im not sure what to say. [04:48] hmmmm will give it a go [04:48] mikeo2, I doubt it [04:48] how do i delete it? [04:48] manually? [04:48] Jordan_U: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [04:48] joanki: There's no data in it, is that correct? [04:48] inigomontoya? [04:48] right [04:48] oh yeah, and I do assembler programming... will I still be able to use 16 bit addressing modes if I go with x86_64? [04:48] Talcite, Yes [04:48] I'm trying this little expirement and need some help here. I created an 850 meg ext2 partition (hda8) and put 7.10.iso on it. Now i want grub to load that iso, what do i do? [04:48] c_plus_plus: yeah? [04:48] how do I enable ssh on my machine from the terminal window ? [04:49] Do I have to search for compiz in the Synaptic Package Manager to enable it? [04:49] moDumass: go to /home/octavio/.kde/share/apps and delete the ktorrent folder. then restart the app. *this will kill your torrents* [04:49] allobjects, sudo apt-get install openssh-server [04:49] JEFFmasterFlex, when i start it up, a smal swuare with the K in it pops up in the top right corner then dissapears [04:49] inigomontoya: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41269/ [04:49] Jordan_U, thanks [04:49] Jordan_U: thanks. Also, I'm hoping to carry over my /home directory. Will all the config files need to be redone? [04:49] moDumass: replace "octavio" with your home folder name [04:49] Hi, I just perused the FAQ and forums and couldn't seem to find something that works for me. On my first gutsy boot I get nothing after "Running Local Boot Scripts (/etc/rc.local). I suspect some problems with my display settings, but have mucked around with xorg.conf to no avail trying to use both the open source ati driver and VESA. Is there something I'm missing? I'm new to Ubuntu, being a gentoo user normally :) === ALice_en_REiCIel is now known as kAgOmE [04:49] IntuitiveNipple: everyone told me to partition the drive first [04:49] does tar slow down the longer it runs? [04:49] that's why i did it [04:49] darkcrab: i got briquolo to run in 800x600. i looked at my xorg.conf and it has 640x480 as a mode in each depth section. i guess there might be a problem with the v or h refresh rate... [04:49] when i reformatted xp onto my computer [04:49] Talcite, No, config files are platform neutral [04:49] arghh2d2, no idea I tried and failed [04:49] you're saying that was BAD? [04:49] Tatsum nobody will answer you they are bastard [04:49] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [04:50] Jordan_U: thanks for the help [04:50] IntuitiveNipple, you know it helps if you specify a username with smbpasswd :) [04:50] why can't i just say New partition on size and increase it to 100%? [04:50] i had to update to 7.10 and now i have error [04:50] !patience | ubuntu [04:50] ubuntu: nobody is being paid to answer questions here.

[04:50] joanki: OK, I'd open a command line terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and alter the partition table of the drive using "fdisk /dv/sda" but that is rather technical when you get into it. It is a while since I ran the installer but I *think* you can use the graphical gparted (System > Administration > Partition Editor) to do it [04:51] inigomontoya: ill try typing compiz --replace in a virtual terminal [04:51] JEFFmasterFlex, done, about to retry [04:51] arghh2d2, couldn't find how to setup grub to work. [04:51] oh wow [04:51] wastrel: no, is fglrx installed with the base ubntu install? I used the alternate CD if that matters [04:51] c_plus_plus: copy your xorg.conf to pastebin while you're at it [04:51] I don't know whats wrong with my cpan, always giving me error output in make installing DBI.

[05:00] why don't i want to use partition #2 (sda)? [05:00] otherwise, if you are so miserable and ONLY willing to complain, do us all a favour and go back to a previous version.

OR you could resize your background image to be just rhe right size for your monitors [05:06] Monthiel: http://pastebin.com/m3e464d8c [05:06] asbani, have a look at IntuitiveNipple's post above: Try removing the directory "/home/org/.cpan/build/DBI-1.59" and then running install again, so that 'make' can run correctly [05:06] IntuitiveNipple: I did what you suggested, same error [05:06] ShadowMinds: is Matrox different from ATI?

Haven't tried resizing a image yet. [05:07] asbani: It looks as if there's a problem with the DBI package itself, have you searched for bugs or other install problems for that?

[05:09] Jordan_U: what can I do?? [05:09] ok [05:09] hi all, i'm trying to install edgy on a new system ( new to me ) and everything goes fine till i try to use the command " lspci" nothing happens. also, the realtec nic is not being detected, in fact NOTHING is being detected. is there a way to `force` edgy to detect hardwaRE? [05:09] now when it says how do you want to parittion the disk, what do i say? [05:10] When I went to "Add/Remove..." in the applications menu it said that the program list was out-of-date, so then I clicked "Update" and it said another Synaptic was open so it didn't update. The other Synaptic finished and now I am opening Add/Remove again but it isn't giving me the update dialogue, how do I get my Add/Remove list to update? [05:10] Oxeimon: thats where i had to go to set mine up. [05:10] joanki: As for the swap-space, to be honest I can't remember what the installer does in guided mode but it should create a swap partition :) [05:10] Jordan_U: I tryied with Debian.. [05:10] nothok [05:10] rickjones: edgy? Why not gutsy? Interesting [05:10] rickjones: why are you installing edgy? [05:10] ShadowMinds: I see two screens, each called "Screen1", and I can't make one a secondary screen either [05:10] rickjones: I'd double check the install [05:10] asbani, the last 3 gutsy cd's i've burned do NOT boot the computer at all, so , i'll go edgy and upgrade. [05:10] Shoopuf: hit ctrl-f2 and then type: sudo apt-get update [05:10] joanki: If you select Guided again, it should offer to use the entire unused space on that hard drive as you originally expected [05:10] ShadowMinds: One of the screens is always disabled... [05:10] rickjones, did you try thr alternate cd? [05:10] rickjones: lspci is a very low level command, it interacts with the kernel [05:11] is it downloadable ? [05:11] ok [05:11] rickjones: yeah, it is downloadable [05:11] c_plus_plus: in your Xorg.conf, comment out these lines NvAGP, DisableGLXRootClipping [05:11] hi all. i cant seem to get flash to install in gutsy...anyone else having probs? [05:11] is there a site where i can see the benefits of ubuntu/debian on a dual-core processor? [05:11] rickjones, no we keep it under gurad :P [05:11] rickjones, you might wnat to tell people who your talking to otherwise they may miss it. [05:11] nice [05:11] inigomontoya: ok... [05:11] all i want it to support my nic and video card like it does the HP machine sitting next to it [05:12] c_plus_plus: another thing, all the options should be in the device section not the screen section [05:12] Vlet: Thanks. [05:12] Talcite : where is this alt. cd ? [05:12] Shoopuf: :) [05:12] Oxeimon: if you set one screen to defualt it should automatically set the other to secondary. Check where it says Graphics Card, and make sure it has your Graphics card selected. Also on which ever screen is disabled click on model in the Screen tab. Then find the model and manurfacture of the monitor [05:12] What is the GNOME equivelant of Amarok called? I don't see it in Add/Remove. [05:12] rickjones, it's the checkbox on the download page [05:12] how would i make a simple keyboard shortcut that brings up bash in terminal? [05:12] k [05:12] shoopuf: exaile [05:12] inigomontoya: which options? [05:12] rickjones: don't do that mate. you have edgy, then fiesty, then gutsy. edgy is real old I think. not really good idea to upgrade from edgy > fiesty > gutsy! I've read somewhere that upgrading has bugs. I couldn't upgrade from gutsy beta to gutsy final. or even from fiesty to gutsy myself. see here too another people has same problem too. http://www.linux-noob.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3262 [05:12] Oxeimon: also make sure the monitor that says disabled it check to secondary and not disabled [05:12] hey guys - i just activated visual effects in gutsy and i'm looking for the control panel to setup the effects in detail and can't find it :( [05:13] inigomontoya: there's also banshee [05:13] ooops [05:13] c_plus_plus: move every line in the screen section that starts with Option to the device section [05:13] inigomontoya: ok [05:13] Shoopuf: banshee (requires mono) [05:13] ShadowMinds: if the manufacturer isn't listed, can I just use Generic? [05:13] Talcite : this will detect and support my realtek nic ? [05:13] also what java should i install for eclipse? [05:13] regulate: i had mono once [05:13] Helmi: you have to install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:13] inigomontoya: did a boy give it to you? [05:13] rickjones: it's hard to say. Realtek NICs shouldn't have a problem. [05:13] i had ov51x drver working good with camera in festy but now on gutsy the software does not reach the device [05:13] I'm trying to install DBI from cpan, and I keep getting errors. please help me with this. check my error here "http://pastebin.com/m2226801" [05:14] kingnothing, thanks will try [05:14] rickjones: they both use the same kernel though, so I would say probably not, but you don't have many other choices =P [05:14] inigomontoya: testing... [05:14] ShadowMinds: The "secondary screen" option is grayed out... [05:14] regulate: no, but i know a girl didnt either ::grumble:: [05:14] Helmi: install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:14] asbani, check the ubuntu forums [05:14] asbani, do you have build essential installed? [05:14] Vlet, thanks [05:14] Vegancheesesteak, eclipse works fine with java6 [05:14] rickjones: the fact that lspci doesn't output anything though indicates something is wrong [05:14] Helmi: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:14] astro76: from multiverse? [05:14] guys how can i download or build from the sources libmp3lame? [05:14] mechdave: not sure about that. whats build essential? [05:14] kingnothing, yeah i know thanks [05:14] okay :) [05:14] Oxeimon i sent you a IM [05:14] Vegancheesesteak, yes [05:14] Talcite : could it be the hardware isn't being detected due to some bios setting [05:15] astro76: thanks [05:15] ShadowMinds: I don't see your IM [05:15] rickjones: yeah, but it should detect your chipset and everything else either way [05:15] Ashfire908: you got a link of a guy having same problem as mine? [05:15] Talcite : will lspci work in 'live' user mode ? [05:15] rickjones: but you're right, bios could play a role [05:15] rickjones: 'live'? you mean livecd?

[05:16] rickjones: it should. once the kernel is loaded, there shouldn't be any problems with hardware-kernel interations [05:16] anyone help please? [05:16] ShadowMinds: what's your aim sn? [05:16] !ask [05:16] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [05:16] asbani, you have build-essentail i think, cause the command make was found [05:16] mechdave: I just got a fresh gutsy install :) [05:16] Oxeimon: dun have aim have msn though [05:16] Talcite : lspci outputs nothing [05:16] rickjones: try resetting your bios to default settings, and also look online to see if other people have problems using the same mobo [05:16] I'm trying to set up keyboard shortcuts and they all work exect when I try "c". If I change it to "1" it works fine. What do I need to do to make this work. Also when I do the key combination "c" my cursor moves to the middle of the screen. [05:16] Ashfire908: no I don't have build-essentail, i just did apt-get install build-essentail and its downloading as we speak [05:17] rickjones: there's not much we can do... check the md5sum of your liveCDs as well [05:17] ShadowMinds: can you just tell me in this chatroom? [05:17] Talcite: fair enough. i'm downloading the alt cd now to burn [05:17] mechdave: whats also important things to install such as build-essentail for a new system? :) [05:17] well.. it looks really stupid... but my mirror has got the gutsy release... but my update manager is not showing me upgrade-distribution [05:17] rickjones: or use that option at the boot menu [05:17] this is on xubuntu [05:17] asbani, From experience in 7.04 Ubuntu does not install build essential as standard [05:17] can someone please help if they know how to properly install ubuntu into partitioned drive [05:17] c_plus_plus: failsafe mode started? [05:17] Talcite: option ? [05:17] asbani, the manpages-dev package should help. [05:17] Oxeimon: yea seems like alot of txt though lol, but yea it should have your maker of monitor [05:17] does anyone know why PHP is no longer working on my install? I'm not sure what might have changed from 7.04 to 7.10 to do that... [05:17] asbani, hmm, i assumed if you could use make you had that package [05:17] inigomontoya: yes [05:17] asbani, Perl may have C/C++ modules in the code [05:17] Oxeimon: are you using LCD monitors? [05:17] rickjones: I seem to remember an option at the boot menu to check the integrity of the cd [05:18] mechdave: oh ok [05:18] oh [05:18] c_plus_plus: copy your xorg.conf again, i'll make the corrections and send it back [05:18] nrdb: whats that [05:18] ShadowMinds: yeah, one is Dell, one is Hanns-G [05:18] inigomontoya: ill put my xorg back the way it was. [05:18] kingnothing: what happens when you run php at the commandline? [05:18] kingnothing, double check your settings and stuff [05:18] inigomontoya: oh... ok [05:18] Talcite: i go now to reset bios to default [05:18] ShadowMinds: I couldn't find Hanns-G under manufacturers [05:18] asbani, the help for functions like printf etc. [05:18] ok. [05:18] Vlet: as in, "php" at the command line? that does nothing [05:18] inigomontoya: should i just resend same pastebin url?\ [05:18] yeah [05:18] Oxeimon: ok let me check right quick sometimes they're diff, Do you know the model of the Hanns-G? [05:18] kingnothing, /etc/php5 i think, and /etc/apache2/ (somewhere) [05:18] ok then if someone could please help me with this: Select Logical, Swap and set the size to double your system memory. [05:19] what is doulbe my system memory? [05:19] helpers ? how can i download or build from the sources libmp3lame? [05:19] wow the apt-get just asked me to insert my gutsy gribbon cd then press enter. is that right? [05:19] can anyone tell me why my update manager on fiesty is still not showing me "Upgrade distro" [05:19] So I installed Exaile, then when I double click an MP3 within it the screen goes grey and it stops responding. :( Is that normal... [05:19] Vlet, not everyone has the command line package [05:19] What are my options to edit videos on Ubuntu? [05:19] inigomontoya: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41270/ [05:19] hey is it possible to un-chroot yourself? [05:19] Sorry, i'm terrible at PHP. I just use it for phpmyadmin as a front end to mysql [05:19] does anyone know how to join chatroom from yahoo messenger? there is no that feature on gaim :( [05:19] ShadowMinds: the hanns-g monitor is JC199D [05:19] i usually use this feature on yahoo messenger (windows) [05:19] CyberMad: there is.. room list [05:19] CyberMad: there is in pidgin I think. [05:19] it says set the size of swap to double your system memory. [05:19] asbani, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get-install build-essential [05:19] how do i know what is my system's memory? [05:20] mechdave: I did. it asked me for gutsy CD [05:20] supply your password when asked and it should do the rest [05:20] aahh thanks.. i will try install pidgin [05:20] please someone can you help me? [05:20] i been stuck here for an hour [05:20] please please please [05:20] asbani, insert it and hit enter [05:20] CyberMad: pidgin = gaim [05:20] Oxeimon: i'm doing a google on it, i work at a pc place so i can help out alot :) [05:20] mechdave: why does it ask me for CD when I try to apt-get every now and then. It's weird. never happened to me in fiesty [05:20] Man oh Man...Just installed Gutsy....and it takes 3 minutes to boot....no ubuntu login screen until then either...what's up with that? [05:20] mechdave, asbani, that would be 'sudo apt-get install build-essential' ? [05:20] ShadowMinds: sweet thanks :-D :-D :-D [05:20] joanki: just ask your q! [05:20] joanki, double ram doesn't necessarily apply to systems over 512 MB ram, that's an old guideline [05:20] c_plus_plus: it should look like this, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41274/ [05:20] joanki, you don't know how much ram you have? [05:21] 1 gb [05:21] nrdb, Uum yeah, thx :) [05:21] is there anything i can do (besides compiling picard) to get picard to work with mp3's?? [05:21] so when i am creating swap, [05:21] nrdb: hmm [05:21] then what size do i make it? [05:21] I think it asks me for gutsy CD because I have to upgrade my sources.list or something? [05:21] joanki: another 1 gig?? [05:21] Ashfire908: regardless of whether you have the php-cli, you can still run it from the cl [05:21] Oxeimon: the monitor is made by Hannspree, Inc. [05:21] asbani: System-Administration-Software Sources and then tick out the cdrom at the bottom there and it won't look for the cd/dvd any longer and only use online repos. [05:22] Oops too many hyphens there! [05:22] but how can i set it to something i don't have?! [05:22] joanki: how much memory does your PC have? usually you want about 150% of RAM to allow for hibernation, if you intend the PC to hibernate [05:22] Oxeimon: its a 19" LCD Flat Panel monitor :) [05:22] Man oh Man...Just installed Gutsy....and it takes 3 minutes to boot....no ubuntu login screen until then either...what's up with that? [05:22] joanki: you can probably get away with no swap with 1GB ram [05:22] slackern: cool thanks! should I change something in my online repos? [05:22] ShadowMinds: yup I know. It's not under the manufacturers though [05:22] joanki: however is your want to hibernate you will want 1GB plus a little bit [05:22] jonaki, set the swap to about 1 to 2 gb [05:22] ok so it says create a new partition [05:22] asbani, how did you go? [05:22] logical i chose [05:22] and it says new partition size in megabytes [05:22] I'm trying to set up keyboard shortcuts and they all work exect when I try "c". If I change it to "1" it works fine. What do I need to do to make this work. Also when I do the key combination "c" my cursor moves to the middle of the screen. [05:22] joanki: So, if the PC has 1GB of RAM, then a swap of 1.5GB is sufficient (for hibernation purposes) [05:22] what do i enter? [05:22] asbani: nah i don't think you need to, mine is working perfect as it is, it just seems to sort itself automaticlly for me :) [05:23] inigomontoya: restarting x... [05:23] Oxeimon: hmm try using generic then, you still be able to use it then [05:23] joanki, yep, logical [05:23] um .... how many megabytes is 1.5 GB? [05:23] can anyone temme if i need to change my repos in order to upgrade my distro??? i dont get the option of upgrading in update manager [05:23] joanki: 1500 [05:23] joanki: 1500 rougly [05:23] joanki, one 1GB is 1024 MB [05:23] joanki, 1536 ;) [05:23] Oxeimon: because when i did mine it showed one of my monitors as a Generic, and i had to go change the model and stuff [05:23] ok [05:23] so i should set it to 1536 [05:23] even though this tutorial says to set it to double [05:23] probably way overkill [05:23] joanki: the tutorial is wrong [05:23] anyone here successfully running an ATI dual head video? [05:23] joanki, that's old advice, often still repeated [05:24] The guided partition erased my NTSF partition. T_T [05:24] so 1.5 is fine [05:24] ok [05:24] gonna do it for 1536 [05:24] joanki, quit paincing, 1.5 is fine [05:24] joanki: this applied when people had ram of 8MB (like my first linux machine in 1993) [05:24] 1GB is 1000MB, 1GiB is 1024MiB [05:24] inigomontoya: testing compiz now... [05:24] joanki: If the PC had 256MB of RAM then 200% is a good choice. For a PC with 1GB of RAM, then 150% is a better choice [05:24] THANK YOU [05:24] guys i read in the forum that in order to make vmware workstation to work again i need to run ./vmware-config.pl to reconfigure, i installed the linux headers and all ok till it tries to build the vmnet module and crashes cos its missing something any ideas? [05:24] ShadowMinds: okay, I've got it as generic. I still can't click on "secondary screen" though [05:24] you guys what button is "Super" for compiz-fusion ?!!! [05:25] my mouse cursor looks wrong (as in not alpha-blended) on the log-in screen it however is properly alpha-blended, theming isn't the issue, since switching to a different cursor set doesn't fix anything. Anybody knows whats going on (ubuntu7.10, nvidia)? [05:25] joanki: tutorial is a guideline, it is not binding.. a swap is used to temporarily store data that cant be stored on ram because of no memory.. the processor keeps swapping this... actually i dont remember the swap ever being used on my pc [05:25] I dunno the "Super" Button for compiz-fusion [05:25] noor: the windows button [05:25] arang2: what's it missing? [05:25] I can't run .bin files anymore because "virus scanner" opens them, what program is suppost to open .bins ? [05:25] jotil:TY [05:25] how are the repo's doing? [05:25] arang2: Yes, there's an 'all' patch script, v 114 I think [05:25] Oxeimon: will it let you put it as default? and the other as secondary? [05:25] noor: the 'windows' key [05:25] noor: the windows button [05:25] inigomontoya: no more restarting x... but this time it said "Desktop effects could not be enabled" [05:25] ok also, where should the location of the new partition be - obviously at the END, not beginning, right? [05:25] can anyone temme if i need to change my repos in order to upgrade my distro??? i dont get the option of upgrading in update manager [05:25] joanki, swap at the end [05:25] IntuitiveNipple: where do i get the patch? pls link [05:25] for some reason proprietary drivers don't want to install for me (im a noob) any advice on how to get them (nvidia and wireless card) [05:25] hey all [05:25] joanki: Beginning... it relates to the 'beginning' of free space [05:25] and use as? [05:25] ext3? [05:25] ShadowMinds: nope, as soon as I make one default, the other one becomes disabled. There is never any secondary option [05:26] Vlet: i need to run it again to tell u the error [05:26] oh man two conflicting answers [05:26] one says end another says beginning [05:26] Hey, have anyone here installed 7.10 in a Compaq F500 yet? [05:26] c_plus_plus: do compiz --replace again [05:26] joanki, I'd put the swap first, closest to the middle [05:26] SWEET it worked XD [05:26] sorry my bad, im already here [05:26] ok [05:26] arang2: You'd need to Google for it, I used it a while ago now [05:26] inigomontoya: ok [05:26] joanki, doesn't matter. pick one. [05:26] Ashfire908, swap in the middle means less head thrashing, I've started using that ;) [05:26] joanki, swap as swap. the root ( / ) as ext3 [05:26] and also, use as? ext3, ext2, reiserfs, jfs, xfs, fat16, fat32, swap, efi [05:26] IntuitiveNipple: could u suggest me a few strings to google it easier? [05:26] i put swap in [05:26] ok [05:26] joanki: If it is the swap you are creating, then the type is swap :) [05:26] THANKJ YOU [05:26] hey so i uninstalled ktorrent and installed deluge since google said its cooler in Gnome, and i started it up, now its gone [05:26] astro76: but she aint gonna swap - [05:27] PHEW that part is done! [05:27] astro better yet, another hard drive :D [05:27] now i must do the root [05:27] Oxeimon: and your using a ATI Radeon? hmm sounds like your video card has some Firmware or Software that lets you change it in its program [05:27] I changed the Qt theme with qtconfig, but when I start Filelight, it uses different colours. any idea how to change that? [05:27] what was the X config tool again for the CLI 7.04? [05:27] martyvis, oh I know, I'd make the swap 512 max if not hibernating ;) [05:27] do i want a home partition? [05:27] DanMulvey: well.. doesnt the restricted drivers option in system show them to you? [05:27] Oxeimon: have you tried reconfigureing the xserver? [05:27] joanki: ahhh... you've gone the 'manual' not guided route have you? === Jannitax is now known as Jannita [05:27] ShadowMinds: How do I do that, xrandr? [05:27] guided route was trying ot take over all 80 GBs [05:27] joanki: it is recommended.. but you can have one huge / and forget the rest [05:27] is the Xscreensaver that's in the Ubuntu repo's the same one in Debian's? [05:27] i coujldn't let it do that [05:27] what program is suppost to open .bin files [05:27] ? [05:27] joanki: It is a good idea, yes... [05:27] ok [05:27] joanki, you don't need a /home partition [05:27] scriptdevil: I tried that, but it gives me an error saying they aren't installed when i try to enable them [05:27] whats the easiest way to dload torrents in ubuntu? [05:28] edward: it just runs ./filename.bin [05:28] just create a swap and a / partition [05:28] that kino isn't very friendly.. :( doesn't even play .avi files... [05:28] call it a day [05:28] edward, Usually they are bash scripts [05:28] how big should home partition be? [05:28] inigomontoya: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41275/ [05:28] Oxeimon: i'm not sure how you reconfigure the xserver in Gutsy, haven't used ubuntu but for a few weeks [05:28] joanki: ... best thing is to create a root of about 10-12GB, and the rest as /home - it makes upgrading releases later a *lot* easier [05:28] DanMulvey: well.. have a net connection [05:28] ?? [05:28] "./file" doesn't work for me anymore [05:28] yeah [05:28] Bad edward... [05:28] bad.. [05:28] edward, make sure it is executable [05:28] would it be ok if i set it to 16000MB for root and then the 20000 MB for home? [05:28] Interesting issue with compiz when installing ubuntu-desktop from Xubuntu 7.10. When attempting to change from "none" to "normal" it states the composite extension is not available. And now both the Application preferences window and the error message (stating that the composite extenseion is not there) will not close. (I have not tried killing the processes yet. [05:28] it is, i've used it before [05:28] is it possible to un-chroot yourself? [05:28] Oxeimon: have you checked the restricted drivers manager? [05:28] ShadowMinds: Another thing, when I go to the "Graphics Card" tab, I see two sections, "Graphics card(VESA driver (generic))", and under that I can change the driver [05:29] DanMulvey: just click enabled.. it should download and install [05:29] but now virus scanner won't let me run .bins anymore [05:29] ShadowMinds: yeah I installed flgrx [05:29] ademan: I think you can just 'exit' a chroot [05:29] scriptdevil: thanks ill try again [05:29] joanki: You'd never use 16GB for root (I develop Ubuntu kernel and I only have 12GB) [05:29] joanki: sounds ok - just don't rip too many DVDs [05:29] joanki, it would be fine, except you might be able to have a bigger /home, don't forget all your user files go on /home [05:29] ShadowMinds: *fglrx* [05:29] Oxeimon: what options does it give you in the Graphics card tab? [05:29] ohhhhh [05:29] !updates [05:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about updates - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:29] Please help. aMsn window frame disapears with Compiz [05:29] Vlet: hrm, it's not really letting me do that [05:29] Vlet: i get this make[2]: *** [/tmp/vmware-config1/vmnet-only/userif.o] Error 1 [05:29] does any one got updates today in gusty [05:29] ShadowMinds: There are two places where I can choose the Driver [05:29] sorry to ask, but could someone tell me how many mb is 12 GB ? [05:30] joanki: as an example, I have partitions for /boot (512MB), / (12GB), swap (2.5GB), /test (8GB), /home (the rest) [05:30] inigomontoya: i looked at xlog, and the driver seems to be vesa! [05:30] joanki: ~1200 [05:30] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tebibyte [05:30] ox, nope [05:30] joanki: multiply by 1000 [05:30] Thanks mechdave. what you told me did the job :) [05:30] ShadowMinds: Each section is titled "Graphics card(VESA driver(generic))" [05:30] oh [05:30] oops [05:30] Hi, How do I change NVIDIA video card drivers after replacing a blown card? The install script says I should "init 3", but X is not shutdown. Some person, in his limited wisdom, changed how X-Windows gets disabled in Ubuntu so it's different from any other Linux distro?!? Help, please? [05:30] mechdave: now I got DBI installed perfectly thanks mate [05:30] ok so im gonna make root 12000 mb [05:30] and the rest home [05:30] ShadowMinds: and I can select a driver for each one, should I say fglrx? [05:30] GB and GiB is not the same people [05:30] i don't need a test, right, intuitive? [05:30] joanki: whoops ~12000 [05:30] c_plus_plus: oh, well no wonder, it's vesa now?! that makes no sense [05:30] joanki: Sounds good [05:30] asbani, Fantastic, good to hear [05:30] when I do ./planeshift.etc.bin I get "can not exececute binary file." [05:30] inigomontoya: i know. [05:30] joanki: correct... I have /test because I build and install kernels [05:31] i have no taskbar [05:31] INtuitive, i make it at the beginning? or end? also use as is ext3 for root? [05:31] jotil, that's great except hardly anything uses those new units, including all the linux system tools [05:31] yes [05:31] !config [05:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about config - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:31] Joanki, yes [05:31] joanki: Always choose 'beginning' and ext3, yes [05:31] arang2: it was the first result on google when searching for that file name... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3558604 [05:31] inigomontoya: ... on the other hand, the "restricted drivers manager" says that the driver is in use. [05:31] !taskbar [05:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about taskbar - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:31] Vlet: thanks! [05:31] and what is the mount point, intuitive? [05:31] inigomontoya: the nvidia driver that is [05:31] does any one got updates today in gusty [05:31] arang2: google google google :) [05:31] Oxeimon: yea if you can select the same driver for each try that [05:31] joanki: 'Beginning' is relative to the freespace on the drive, not *all* the space on the drive [05:31] kishan, yes, just find a different mirror site ;) [05:32] got it intuitive [05:32] http://www.compiz-themes.org/content/show.php?content=62864&forumpage=1 can anyone tell me how to get my gnome panels to look like this? [05:32] What program should I install to edit videos?? [05:32] Oxeimon: because both are plugged into your ATI card right? [05:32] do i need to enter a mount point, intuitive? [05:32] c_plus_plus: at this point i would run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to have xorg make a new xorg.conf [05:32] joanki: For root "/" for home "/home" [05:32] I've got a Compiz-related question. [05:32] I love the new gutsy, and i love you people [05:32] ShadowMinds: yup [05:32] inigomontoya: ok [05:32] IanLiu: home videos probably kino [05:32] astro76, don't hate. i was being dramatic. it's friday night. even for linux using human beings, who are recently human because they use ubuntu. [05:32] um intutive, that / option is not available [05:32] kishan: me neither... i thing the indian mirror is not updating [05:32] dmandell: don't ask to ask ;) [05:32] ShadowMinds: I've changed both from "generic VESA-compliant card" to fglrx [05:32] i have ext3 ext2 reiserfs jfs xfs fat16 fat32 swap efi dont_use [05:32] Ubuntu101: cool, thanks [05:32] Oxeimon: then it should pick both of them up. [05:32] Ubuntu101, i got 26 updates but not dowlpading [05:32] new packages? [05:32] joanki: it should be (not using the quotes "..." of course) [05:33] kishan: yes, are you using synaptic? [05:33] what was the X server config tool again for the command line in 7.04? [05:33] Vlet: i got the patch, where do i decompress it so i just recompile the thing or i must reinstall the whole vmware? [05:33] joanki: ext2 for boot, ext3 for normal file systems, swap for swap [05:33] why can't I execute a binary file? [05:33] arang2: I don't know. read the instructions [05:33] When I use the the GConf Configuration Backend in Compiz the "Bring to Front" preference doesn't work. [05:33] edward: Is the +x flag set? [05:33] i dunno [05:33] edward: it needs "x" permissions [05:33] was there any new updates since release in the "Update manager" ? [05:33] whats the best way to manage ubuntu remotely??? winvnc? [05:33] chmod 755 [05:33] ok, and it's not here [05:33] there is NO / [05:33] i PROMISE [05:33] in a terminal [05:33] inigomontoya: I think ill just put my xorg back the way had it before and call it a night [05:33] i used su, still can't run it [05:33] Yowsers: ssh :) [05:34] ah yes [05:34] mechdave, it was the same command you used in 6.10 or 6.04 [05:34] why of course lol [05:34] edward: `ls -lah` to check, `chmod +x `to set execute [05:34] http://www.compiz-themes.org/content/show.php?content=62864&forumpage=1 can anyone tell me how to get my gnome panels to look like this? [05:34] joanki: I think you've got confused... the / is entered for the mount-point, not the file-system type [05:34] okey [05:34] When I use the "Flat File" backend the preference does work, but one of my custom keyboard mappings doesn't work. [05:34] ohhhhh [05:34] but with ssh, you dont get the gui? [05:34] jotil, I know, but I use it so seldom I have forgotten! [05:34] ShadowMinds: I still can't select "secondary screen" [05:34] so use as is ext3? [05:34] Hey all, does anyone know how to mount an NTFS partition using Gutsy? [05:34] I am getting this error upgrading to Gutsy, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41272/ it doesn't go away no matter how many times I say yes, should I say no? [05:34] joanki, yes ext3 [05:34] joanki: For file-system ext3, for mount point / [05:34] My "/" partition isn't a ex3 according to kdiskfree! [05:34] edward: you need explicitly set the path - if is the current directory you need to say ./theexecutable [05:34] ok phewwwwwwww this is STRESSFUL [05:34] so if i have a 750 gb hard drive with just mp3's on it is xfs the way to go? [05:34] which is confusing really [05:34] and for home, ext3 and /home [05:34] Oxeimon: hmm still mirroring the other [05:34] mechdave: it just takes weening. after getting used to it, it's far more useful/powerful than a gui [05:34] joanki: I did warn you :p [05:34] So, any idea why changing configuration backends in compiz would make a keyboard shortcut change? [05:35] Advise for filesystem encryption on Fiesty laptop? [05:35] ShadowMinds: yup [05:35] (12:28:53 AM) Ubuntu101: Interesting issue with compiz when installing ubuntu-desktop from Xubuntu 7.10.

[05:35] IntuitiveNipple, cool! Checking it out now [05:36] ShadowMinds: even the mirror-mode option is grayed out [05:36] Cmon guys, I hardly ever use it coz I hardly ever change my X settings, hence asking the question I did [05:36] ask [05:36] :) [05:36] alright I am getting the error "The software source for the package is not enabled" when I try to install the proprietary drivers [05:36] joanki: Use As ? what are the options?

[05:38] DanMulvey, All of them are usually enabled by default, don't know why they weren't for you [05:38] LOWER_CASE: then, run the installer like: sudo /home/yourusername/Desktop/NVIDIA..... or whereever it is [05:38] hey all [05:38] scriptdevil, how do I find out what the partition is?

It sounds as is something has got confused somewhere. Which partition is it reporting that about?

[05:40] Oxeimon: might have to post a topic about it in the ubuntu forums, i'm running out of ideas lol [05:40] I added a windows partition info to my grub menu.lst file but every time it updates, it deletes that info.

[05:41] quickly quickly [05:41] briantumor: yes, I think you can [05:41] i'm thinking if i format and clean install it'd be better than upgrading..? isn't safe graphics mode the same as 'low res' mode? === hislop is now known as Lunz [05:41] Anyone? [05:41] does anyone know how to direct the order of menu bar icons loaded with GNOME and hteir locations?

[05:49] Vlet: ok, already installed the drivers, so I suppose the card is not supported by compiz. Would be nice if that error said a bit more then that though... I was suspecting a malfunctioning install (of ubuntu-desktop) [05:49] logyati: man synaptics [05:49] jrib: I did read the upgrade notes, just had that doubt [05:50] Oxeimon: hmm it should be in your applications list then maybe under graphics? [05:50] joanki: I have never have it offer me any at that point, but unless there's something vital a clean install might be better since you're not deleting Windows [05:50] scriptdevil, yes I think so [05:50] anyone know keyboard macro program I can get really quick? [05:50] jotil, i tried but it said that there is a replacement for this packet called tpconfig [05:50] k [05:50] IntuitiveNipple: I just installed oidentd before your post, will that replace them aswell?

But when I choose my network I cannot connect. The animated icon dances for about a minute then goes back to the 'no connection' icon. Any thoughts? [05:53] fit4lfe: why?

[05:58] I am trying to install gutsy (first time with ubuntu and first time with a linux install in years) I have 2 questions: 1) can my settings from vista be imported and 2) at what point in the install am I promted to do a dual boot?

[05:59] jotil: then my other question was how do i rename a NIC from eth2 to eth1? [05:59] it installed KDE modeules on my gnome ubuntu 7.04 [05:59] nrdb, i'm just trying to auto mount the partition that my iso is on first. [05:59] Ishidropi, if it's from XP, I'm not too familiar with such, but it defo would be a bios thing (you'd need to boot from the ISO) any reason why you don't just burn the image to a disc and install from there? I could tell you how to do it from within a linux environment, but not windows, sorry. [05:59] why does the wubi installer write to config.sys even on a vista pc [05:59] if i reinstall virtualbox on gutsy, will i be able to re-use my virtual hard drive file from feisty? [06:00] so i then removed it, but eve since i removed it seems ubuntu starts acting up every now and then [06:00] Vlet: is it ok to update from update manager? if not can you explain why it isnt and what i should do please. [06:00] i want to know if A) there are reasons not to use LVM, B) if an encrypted LVM drive can have its encryption later removed or disabled (ie, if i wanted to turn it off) [06:00] KeithWeisshar: backwards compatibility? [06:00] WGGMk: then i answered your question. change your default gateway. with the route command: man route [06:00] can someone answer a quick qustion reguarding ndiswrapper?

(for nm-applet) [06:00] has anyone had luck networking a vista box and an ubuntu box? [06:00] nj786: yes. I thought you were asking for a way to do it from the commandline [06:00] arghh2d2, wouldn't that just be a line in the /etc/fstab file ? [06:00] limecat: LVM adds complexity and it requires to have an init ramdrive... no you cant disable encryption [06:00] would it be ok to uninstall any kd3 module, im assuming that is was is conflicint with gnome, although im very new to linux so im not sure [06:00] If I run the upgrade to 7.10 via update-manager will it automatically use the existing apt-cacher setup on my network ? [06:00] yes me subpar [06:00] Vlet: no i was just asking what would be the safest and best option [06:00] how did you do it? [06:01] http://rafb.net/p/7ICrht77.html [06:01] jotil: wouldnt that change it permanitly so all requests are thru the specific eth.. meaning i would have to change it back? [06:01] did you do the samba 3.0 deal? [06:01] scriptdevil: so, the standard installer with gutsy won't cut it? [06:01] jrib http://rafb.net/p/7ICrht77.html [06:01] I installed pidentd. but i can't seem to be able to run the service, can somebody help me with that [06:01] can someone answer a quick qustion reguarding ndiswrapper?

[06:01] nj786: are you upgrading from feisty, or from a prerelease of gutsy? [06:01] nrdb, ? what am i sposed to do to the line? [06:01] what is the problem sub? [06:01] Vlet: fiesty [06:01] IntuitiveNipple: thats great... i am sorry if i misled you AudreyM [06:01] chowmeined: is the added complexity generally worth it, in your opinion, or is it more hassel than its worth? Also, can the encryption password ever be changed? [06:01] !ask | Kousotu [06:01] Kousotu: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [06:01] and_moi: the thing is that CDdrives make too much noise and running an ISO from HD is faster. i've always done this with Knoppix with the bootfrom command. but this apperently doesnt work with the Ubuntu LiveCD. [06:01] gusty compiz gone gay [06:02] nj786: then the recommended way is on that page I linked to [06:02] arghh2d2, what device did you put the iso on ? [06:02] scriptdevil: I think most problems are with 'non-standard' configurations with muitple disks [06:02] WGGMk: just change it back when you won't need it. [06:02] limecat: i use LVM, it allows me to easily start with small partitions and resize them as my storage needs change [06:02] nrdb, hda8 [06:02] the proper driver asigner for infs is "sudo ndiswrapper -i " right?

[06:02] !upgrade | nj786 [06:02] nj786: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:03] limecat: i guess i need to be more clear about the encryption.. the only one ive used is dmcrypt... and as far as I know, you cant change the password or disable the encryption [06:03] fit4lfe: did you do anything that you think may have caused this? [06:03] Ok, does anyone have a rough idea of how many downloads of ubuntu 7.10 there have been? compared to 7.04? [06:03] yes installed pylons [06:03] jotil: thanks i figured i would have to do something similar.. how do i determine the default gateway.. is it shown in ifconfig? [06:03] WGGMk: to change the name: http://www.science.uva.nl/research/air/wiki/LogicalInterfaceNames [06:03] jrib yes installed pylons [06:03] can u see the bootloader? [06:03] Ubuntu101: more :) [06:03] limecat: i mean the method to do both would be to copy the data to another partition and then replace the previous [06:03] fit4lfe: how? === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [06:03] the proper driver asigner for infs is "sudo ndiswrapper -i " right?

[06:03] chowmeined: i see, thanks. So with LVM i can change the size of even an ext3 root partition? [06:04] anyone know how much space knoppix requires? [06:04] Ishidropi, hmm...If you've done the same from knoppix it should be similar for *buntu..those 'cheatcodes' are pure kernel and grub stuff...not distro specific. What error are you getting? My only concern is that if you're not booting from grub...how are you even entering those for NT loader? [06:04] !upgrade | [Trash]_ [06:04] [Trash]_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:04] arghh2d2, "/dev/hda8 /media/hda8 auto defaults 0 0" should do. Make sure that /media/hda8 exists. [06:04] fit4lfe: what is "easy_install"? [06:04] krammer, no, can't see anything... we worked around it since I dual boot, but I really hate being in windows unless I'm working in proprietary software [06:04] <[Trash]_> excellent! thank you! [06:04] limecat: its a two step process [06:04] WGGMk: just type: route [06:04] allen google is your friend or go to the site [06:04] Allenwr: Knoppix 3.6 uses about 3 gig. [06:04] Vlet: ? [06:04] WGGMk: it will show you the routing table [06:04] limecat: LVM is just the logical volume.. which you can shrink and grow online at any time [06:04] arghh2d2, you can also use the mount command to do it manually. [06:04] limecat: however, you also need to change the size of the filesystem (in your case ext3) [06:04] ok, so to be safe, just go with 5 gigs for 5.1.1? [06:04] somebody help please! [06:05] nj786: what? [06:05] limecat: ext3 can be grown online.. but it can only be shrunk offline [06:05] and_moi: i'm booting from GRUB. GRUB4WIN has been adapted to run off NTFS drives and thus enabling easy linux booting from the NT loader via GRUB [06:05] chowmeined: thats fine with me :D one last question, is there any real benefit, with this new "5% reserved" space on the drive, to having a seperate /home and /? [06:05] can the installation of kde modules mess up a gnome based ubutnu, im new to linx [06:05] Vlet: i mean i do not understand whether to update from UPDATE MANAGER or WWW.UBUNTU.COM [06:05] Reinstall it again if you do not have any imparative data [06:05] limecat: so to shrink root you'd need to do with from a livecd [06:05] Can someone give me some assistance with the proper partitioning procedure to keep my vista install?

[06:05] jotil: ok, well the NIC connected to the router eth2 has an * for the gateway.. do I change it to the current gateway listed under default? [06:05] Vlet: lol im just curious update manager or no update manager? [06:05] jrib package system [06:05] it says the security updates on security.ubuntu.com couldn't be accessed, so those updates will not be made available to you at this time. [06:06] hey guys, whats the best game for Linux???? i prefer war FPS's but i like it real, not jumping around shooting [06:06] limecat: that 5% is root only.. basically it prevents some random program from filling up your drive and causing system components to fail [06:06] ubuntu, knoppix, fedora, and mandrake [06:06] nrdb, do you think grub can only boot partitions listed in fstab? [06:06] jrib by peak [06:06] joanki: probably that the servers are suffering, happened to me, i just tried again later [06:06] Ishidropi, ok sorry. Well the same command should work in ubuntu.

[06:06] chowmeined: which happened once with torrent. So is there any benefit to having a seperate /home with this feature? [06:06] arghh2d2, no it does look at the fstab for booting. [06:06] the reason why I am asking is because I am going to fit it all on a 40 gig drive [06:06] how to check the services that are already running [06:06] joanki: i tried the update later, and could connect [06:06] When TrueCrypt mounts my drive, my normal user doesn't have file access to it [06:06] and_moi: you are right about the cheatcodes, they are kernel params, but it wont let me startup the CD in LiveCD modus, it skips immidiatly to the Install screen. [06:06] limecat: afaik, the 5% thing has been around for a long long time [06:06] servers are just hurting [06:06] ok so i just have to go to the website and download them later, right? [06:06] nrdb: it does or does not? === Shinto is now known as CHC [06:07] what are you trying to dl, joanki? the ISO? [06:07] limecat: but.. i like having a separate /home because then you can do clean installs but still keep your data [06:07] WGGMk: using the route command. google a bit. there should be many examples. [06:07] anyone play FPS's under linux? [06:07] help please! [06:07] i am installing gusty [06:07] sudo ndiswrapper -i is this correct? [06:07] limecat: or if you want to change distros [06:07] Allenwr: 40g should handle the OSes. [06:07] joanki: no, it'll do that for you automatically... all the servers are suffering at peak times with high load [06:07] jotil: ok thanks bud, i appreciate the help and the link [06:07] chowmeined: yea, except ive decided ima do a clean install each upgrade---i screw WAY too much up every 6 months :D [06:07] arghh2d2, grub uses the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to know what to do, as far as I know that is the only config file it uses. [06:07] ok so, no need to download secdurity updates, ssystem will do it for me [06:07] right? [06:07] and_moi: when i started the same ISO in QEMU, it started fine as a liveCD, but that maybe because i set only the ISO to boot als CD in QEMU [06:07] limecat: generally because LVM makes having lots of partitions clean and easy i have a / /boot /usr /var /tmp /home and swap [06:07] fit4lfe: you know pylons is packaged in ubuntu's repositories? [06:07] alright, thanks for the info ^_^ [06:07] Wolf23: Just ask your question [06:08] joanki: if there are any, it'll let you know [06:08] er...why seperate tmp, var, etc? [06:08] ty [06:08] joanki: Yes, its part of the update-manager that checks for updates like windows does [06:08] wow, this isn't easy [06:08] WGGMk: isn't WGGM a radio station in Boston? [06:08] nrdb: ok well then automounting is pointless then [06:08] doesnt that massively complicate things? [06:08] i guess installing windows isn't always easy either [06:08] n2diy: ok if I talk to you on PM? [06:08] Free you Mind [06:08] joanki: Perfection rarely is :p [06:08] sudo ndiswrapper -i is this correct? [06:08] for some reason my fingerprint reader is no longer working [06:08] limecat: right... so having a separate /home means you can just keep it, but reformat all the other partitions with the new distro's clean install.. without touching your /home stuff [06:08] if i woulda straight installed, it woulda been easier [06:08] but i had all those partitions [06:08] krammer: okay, will do [06:08] mechdave: thanx, but please can you help me how to update ubuntu7.10 coz i am using 7.04 x86 amd64? thanx [06:08] Allenwr: ok.

[06:08] nj786: you will not - it's just like an update, but more complex [06:08] joanki: no, everyone here are volunteers with some free time [06:09] hi guys...i just installed 7.1 server.. it autodetected my RTL8169 gigabit nic card just fine... but it seems to be working only at 100 ... yes i have a gigabit switch and it shows other computers connected at 1000 but ubuntu box 100 ... i checked and the cables aren't the problems .. can anyone suggest anything [06:09] guys is the use of automatix heavily discouraged??? [06:09] arang2: yes [06:09] jared: compiz-fusion [06:09] arang2: yes, it is discouraged [06:09] why? [06:09] Vlet: are you running 7.10? [06:09] Ishidropi, hmm...funny issue. Yeah, botting as a CD in QEMU would do the trick for that. Weird that it only brings you to the install screen when you boot from the ISO...Just outta curiosity...could you have grabbed the 'alternate' iso by any chance? [06:09] wow so nice [06:09] nj786: yep [06:09] limecat: i like to separate them because, /tmp is world writable and i can set it noexec .. /var stores log files which can grow to large sizes sometimes, as well as all the html, databases etc... /usr should be fairly readonly so standard users cant tamper with it [06:09] Clean install of Gusty. open terminal type sudo gconf-editor ot to apps->nautilis->desktop heck off the: Computer, Trash, Network icons and nothing!!!! Reboot does not solve it!!! Is 7.10 using a different location for this setting? [06:09] sudo ndiswrapper -i is this correct? [06:09] Vlet: how is it? [06:09] Wolf23: Sorry mate that is not my area of expertise, I usually just backup my /home and do a fresh install! [06:09] i'm trying to install gutsy from livecd, but it doesn't show my partitions, neither the installation program nor gparted, it only shows /dev/sda, no partitions [06:09] hello all [06:09] however [06:09] hello, i want to install a panel, but i don't know it's name. It's the bottom panel like in this clip - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0N14ax1iKc&mode=related&search= [06:09] ok so now i am booting [06:09] is it ok if the "Select and install software" step on the alternate cd fails? [06:09] and it is ofering me 3 options [06:09] so i shouldnt even dare to install automatix for gutsy? [06:10] nj786: great. I did a clean install, as I keep all my documents, etc on another partition [06:10] !automatix | arang2 [06:10] arang2: 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) [06:10] ls /dev | grep sda, shows my partitions [06:10] Ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14 generic [06:10] and_moi: nope. the same iso was used in QEMU [06:10] the other is the recovery mode but exactly the same [06:10] ShakaGoldSaint, tried fdisk ? [06:10] or Ubuntu 7.10 memtest86+ [06:10] !upgrade > Wolf23 (read the private message from ubotu) [06:10] which one do i want? [06:10] i see.....i may do that [06:10] sudo ndiswrapper -i is this correct? [06:10] limecat: it may not be as useful on a standard desktop machine [06:10] I Just got gutsy and firefox is a mess. Anybody else having a problem with Firefox. I already had opera, I guess I need to use that more [06:10] jrib yes but this was before they updated to the new versino === speaker219_ is now known as Pidgin [06:10] joanki: The first of those [06:10] jrib how can i fix this [06:10] thx [06:10] Kousotu: yeah there are also programs to do that for you... [06:10] nrdb, you mean the fdisk tool for windows? === Pidgin is now known as [] [06:11] joanki: Recovery is for if you have some major problems at any time [06:11] jrib: thanx , but i read the site, and i need someone to help me with it, thanx [06:11] chowmeined: yea, i may just do the /tmp, not sure on /home [06:11] would it be correct to say that ubuntu is a linux-based operating system? [06:11] ShakaGoldSaint, no Linux, same name. === [] is now known as [|] [06:11] Kousotu but needs to point to the file.inf [06:11] fit4lfe: ok... what does 'readlink -f $(which python)' return? === [|] is now known as [ [06:11] limecat: but for power users.. and on servers.. it provides additional security (you can set nosuid, noexec, ro, options per mount) as well as allowing you to use a different filesystem depending on how that mount will be used [06:11] i REALLY screw things up, even wine, so my .wine is shot\ [06:11] agwells: yea, but I only have 1 with which I need ndis for [06:11] Wolf23: what is your questionL [06:11] joanki: yes, it would. [06:11] nrdb, what does that do? how can i use it? [06:11] thx [06:11] and I knew thst [06:11] that* [06:11] Ishidropi, sorry, I'm outta ideas. It really shouldn't be a boot option/kernel param because the live/desktop iso should boot into the live environment and then give you the chance to install. There's not really an override for that to bring you straight to an install [06:11] nrdb brb [06:11] even my home folder needs to go, i back up the data and format :\ [06:11] it looks like an apple interface (desktop i mean) [06:11] joanki, ubuntu IS Linux. Linux is linux...and ubuntu is just a distro OF linux. Suse is a distro...redhat etc. [06:11] joakim-: in as much as there is no 'linux' operating system, just a kernel, sure. [06:11] joanki, Ubuntu is linux [06:11] jrib in python do thtat [06:12] limecat: thats fair.. you could still keep them separate.. you wont lose anything [06:12] does anyone knows the name of the panel in this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0N14ax1iKc&mode=related&search= ? [06:12] Kousotu so whats the question? [06:12] !mountwindows [06:12] ntfs is To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For NTFS write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse [06:12] fit4lfe: in a shell (not python) [06:12] limecat: i just do it out of habit [06:12] Spisters: that is not correct. [06:12] joanki: Yes, it is a GNU/Linux distribution :) [06:12] I wanted to make sure I had the command right [06:12] oh [06:12] jrib: how can i update ubuntu7.10, coz i am using now ubuntu7.04 x86 amd64, tell me what commands i have to type? [06:12] ShakaGoldSaint, have you the LiveCD going ? [06:12] i'm learning so much these days i cant keep it straght! [06:12] because I need it for my internet driver === jared is now known as KI4IKL [06:12] {L}âUghîñ Ôut £òU{Ð} [06:12] joanki: The learning never stops! [06:12] chowmeined: yea, i did that already, but it didnt set up gnome with gutsy defaults--it respected old settings, when i want to see what "vanilla" gutsy looks/feels like [06:12] !upgrade | Wolf23 [06:12] Wolf23: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:12] otherwise I can't go online [06:12] lulz @ joanki [06:12] Linux is an umbrella term for a variety of open source distros like this one, [06:12] limecat: actually what i have setup on mine is... i did LVM for all the system's / /tmp /usr /var and swap.. but i did software RAID 1 for /home [06:12] Wolf23: the page explains that [06:12] nrdb, yep, i'm using it right now [06:12] and_moi: apparently there is, but thanks anyway. i'll go fiddle around some more. have a nice day ;) [06:13] if you just type in ndiswrapper tells you the commands.. you also need to do a modprobe ndiswrapper [06:13] What options do I pass mount to allow user read/write/ [06:13] astro76,thats weird because i reccently instaled AcetoneISO2, and it didnt do wat i wanted so i uninstalled it, but i didnt know exactly what other kde dependencies it installed [06:13] thank you script [06:13] chowmeined: now THERES a thought o.0 [06:13] I was aware of that as wel [06:13] http://en.wikipedia.org/linux/ [06:13] well* [06:13] Ishidropi, hope you find it, sorry I couldn't help. The forums might provide the answer [06:13] Wolf23: what part of the instructions on the wiki page are not clear? [06:13] !chmod | jimmygoon [06:13] jimmygoon: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux [06:13] hey, does anyone know a good security tut/primer for ubuntu? [06:13] jrib: are u free for me, coz i am newbie on this, pleasee [06:13] i mean the bottom panel from the clip.. ? [06:13] since i uninstalled it, things have been freezin which never used to, or ubuntu would just stop responding [06:13] one last question [06:13] So anyone know a fix for the USB issue..... [06:13] did anyone else have an issue with minimizing windows after the update? [06:13] what do people use for latex? I was using auctex with emacs21, but it doesn't work with emacs22 (I could regress, or modify some system files but I figure that if this isn't supported its because there is a better way) [06:13] jrib readlink -f $(python2.5) [06:13] limecat: it works fairly well.. even though my drives are different sizes.. (320GB and 160GB).. the software raid is flexible enough to let me do it efficiently [06:13] ShakaGoldSaint, just checking, do you know what device your HDD is ? [06:13] Lustblader, not quite what I wanted. I know how to use chmod... I was loking for mount options :S [06:13] !mount [06:13] so now, i can access files on xp by going to sda2 drive, but can i access files in ubuntu from xp? [06:13] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [06:13] agwells: what USB issue? [06:13] is there a guide written yet for how to solve graphics card issues in Gutsy? [06:14] TEXMAKER [06:14] jrib like that [06:14] wait, do you have to LVM both drives? [06:14] Wolf23: if you have questions, ask them here. [06:14] fit4lfe: ok... what does 'readlink -f $(which python)' return? [06:14] jrib nothing [06:14] and how harsh on cpu is it [06:14] USB devices stop automounting after a certain time... [06:14] because my graphics card seems to not be getting used. it's all going to the CPU.... how do I fix this? [06:14] optiq: what security concerns do you have? [06:14] Wolf23: that way, the question is out there for everyone to potentially answer [06:14] and_moi: i could find nothing in the forums, thats why i came here. if i'm still at a loss after retry. i'll just post it in the forums and see what happens [06:14] limecat: no i have LVM on 1/2 of the 320GB.. and then raid 1 on the 160GB and the other half [06:14] fit4lfe: join me in #ubuntu-classroom [06:14] LaTeX = texlive, and TEXMAKER [06:14] limecat: i dont notice at all... [06:14] hendrixski: get the drivers [06:14] joanki: Not by default, but there *is* an ext3 file-system driver for Windows... Google should help you locate it [06:14] jrib k [06:14] I just wanted to know what were some basic steps i should take with this destroy beyond installing firestarter etc. [06:14] does ubuntu come with a firewall pre-installed or some safety internet connection stuff? If so how can I access it and/or modify it? [06:14] nrdb, /dev/sda ? === silent is now known as silent-blazing [06:14] ??? [06:14] Vlet: are u free friend, can u help me updating from ubuntu7.04 to 7.10 x86 amd64? [06:14] o.0 alright, ima head off and begin the adventure. [06:14] extrakick, what's weird? [06:14] agwells: I never had an issue yet [06:14] BlaenkDenum, how? when I click on system-->RestrictedDriversManager there's nothing there [06:14] Wolf23: sure, just let me know what part of the wiki page is not clear [06:15] this will be interesting o.0 [06:15] Intuitive, but i CAN access windows' files, right? [06:15] limecat: unless im copying huge files around... in which case its a bit slower [06:15] unplug usb device replug in [06:15] hendrixski: do you know what brand your video card is? [06:15] tell me if it has an issue [06:15] can someone help me with the fingerprint reader setup? [06:15] joanki: yes [06:15] btw, do you recommend any of the usage options (inode sizes) for particular partitions? [06:15] BlaenkDenum, ATI mobility radeon 7500 [06:15] ShakaGoldSaint, in a terminal, the command would be "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" [06:15] Wolf23: the instructions are all on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:15] and through that drive, if i PLACE things in that drive, then when i get into windows, i can open it, right? [06:15] joanki: Yes, from Ubuntu. By default Gutsy installs the ntfs-3g driver that gives read/write access to Windows file-systems [06:15] limecat: i haven't messed with those [06:15] jrib: i dont like to put my hand and make errors :( [06:15] alright [06:15] astro76,thats weird because i reccently instaled AcetoneISO2, and it didnt do wat i wanted so i uninstalled it, but i didnt know exactly what other kde dependencies it installed [06:15] agwells: that looks interesting, I'll look into it. Does it have nice keyboard shortcuts like emacs? [06:15] thanks for all the info :) [06:15] limecat: thats another benefit though.. you can tune them for each mount [06:15] hendrixski: hmm, I'm not so sure buddy [06:15] ok [06:15] since i uninstalled it, things have been freezin which never used to, or ubuntu would just stop responding [06:15] !ati | hendrixski [06:15] joanki: windows cannot acess ext3 drives [06:15] yea, i saw that [06:15] that's pretty damned sweet [06:15] hi guys...i just installed 7.1 server.. it autodetected my RTL8169 gigabit nic card just fine... but it seems to be working only at 100 ... yes i have a gigabit switch and it shows other computers connected at 1000 but ubuntu box 100 ... i checked and the cables aren't the problems .. can anyone suggest anything [06:15] n2diy: Did that make any sense? [06:15] !ati [06:15] ShakaGoldSaint, is this a new drive ? [06:15] Wolf23: then ask if you are not sure about something [06:16] ubotu: you there [06:16] Lustblader, if i place the file inside the sda2 file drive, windows should be able to access it, no? [06:16] !nvidia [06:16] nrdb, nope [06:16] joanki, no not unless you go find the program that will allow you to see the format that Ubuntu uses [06:16] yes... and customizable ones too [06:16] looks like ubotu is on vacation [06:16] extrakick, yes I read that and asked what is weird? Are you saying the remaining kde libs are causing problems? [06:16] does anyone knows the name of the bottom panel in this clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0N14ax1iKc&mode=related&search= ? [06:16] what's with the bot [06:16] but in my past experience, any time i tried to "tweak", ive screwed things up (ie, rolling my own kernel--performance didnt improve :\) [06:16] limecat: or like use XFS for ones that will have large files and ext3 of standard.. or however you want it setup [06:16] oh [06:16] hendrixski: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about you there - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:16] !usb [06:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:16] joanki: On mine the Vista partition is automounted at boot-time and I access it as /media/Vista (I customised that mount-point) [06:16] there you go hendrixski :) [06:16] astro76, yes i think so [06:16] hopefully that helps [06:16] optiq: What? I missed it in all the other traffic. [06:16] BlaenkDenum, k, I'll check that one out. [06:16] limecat: actually i love XFS for storing virtual machine images [06:16] joanki: if the drive format is fat32, ntfs.. then yes [06:16] nrdb, i had feisty + windows xp before [06:16] Hullo? [06:16] jrib: i am ready to update 7.10 x86 amd64 [06:16] ok yay!!!! [06:16] astro76, because i didnt have these freezing problems before [06:16] that's pretty damned cool [06:16] BAX: sudo apt-get install firestarter [06:16] limecat: because it has excellent support for um.. 'holes' [06:16] anybody else having problems mounting external hard drive with gutsy? [06:16] extrakick, it's most likely something else [06:16] now i need to find a prettier color than this orange [06:16] joanki: Having said that, I've not used the Vista partition in about 6 months [06:16] limecat: i dont remember the term now.. but basically i have a bunch of 10GB raw images.. that are mostly empty [06:16] wow [06:16] This is cool. I just installed ubuntu on my macbook pro and it runs llike a champ [06:17] limecat: and it stores only the used space [06:17] jrib: now first what can i do? [06:17] cooooooool [06:17] i love it! [06:17] nrdb, this doesn't happen when i use the feisty livecd [06:17] ntfs partition [06:17] limecat: so i have 12 copies of that image in like.. 9GB [06:17] i had gkrellm installed on feisty i updated it and dissappeared from the menu list in gutsy but it's still there, i created an entry on the meny under gutsy but its as if i wasnt doing anything at all anyone got an idea what might have been happening? [06:17] freaker: http://www.gnome-dock.org/ [06:17] ok bb in a bit === home_ is now known as eido [06:17] n2diy: I'm looking for a general tutorial with steps I should take with this particular distro, for example any insecure defaults I should change etc. I've already installed firestarter. Are there any IDS recommendations etc? [06:17] tnx [06:17] Wolf23: what the wiki page says for you to do [06:17] joanki: I can run the Windows apps I need using Wine, the Windows support layer for Linux [06:17] does anyone know if the precomiple kernel has 1k speed selected for nic [06:17] chowmeined: ive heard it unstable compared to ext3.....also, one last question-i can set the disk up as 1gb /boot, the rest LVM'd, and then later decide i want a windows partition, and shrink the LVM? [06:17] hello all! [06:17] agwells: texmaker is so limiting, and no preview function :( [06:17] so no one else had a problem with minimizing windows? [06:17] astro76 even though i didnt have these freezing problems before i installed AcetoneISO2 + its kde depencies? [06:17] how can i enable widescreen on gusty? [06:17] wine + utorrent : wine + foobar ---> winar!! [06:18] Anyone here have a boot manager recomendation? [06:18] joanki: And for other situations I use a Virtual Machine guest that has Windows XP installed (I use that for compatibility testing) [06:18] optiq: You should be up to date, if you let your update manager run. [06:18] Wolf23: read what's on this page, and imagine that we were typing it out to you bit by bit. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:18] dizy, they're 10/100 by default [06:18] limecat: i believe you can shrink the whole LVM physical volume.. but ive never done [06:18] ShakaGoldSaint, oh, I don't know what is going on, does fdisk find the partition data ? [06:18] nrdb: i guess all i have to do is figure out the correct menu.lst entry to put in and it should work shouldnt it? [06:18] Some help please? [06:18] limecat: XFS is actually pretty stable.. and its very fast.. high performance [06:18] ...i suppose ill set aside a few hundred megs [06:18] n2diy: yea I'm up to date but I was just wondering if theres anything I'm missing [06:18] !ask | smy1220 [06:18] smy1220: Don't ask to ask a question.

XFS can lose data from power loss.. it'd be good to have a UPS [06:20] joanki: It depends on the applications you *need* but I'm a power user and I've been able to [06:20] Lustblader: theres a man page for menu.lst [06:20] exit [06:20] ?

[06:21] hendrixski: so the same applies, it's not that you're actually running a feisty program on gutsy [06:21] how do you extract an archive to directories under /usr with the GUI [06:21] Wolf23: yes [06:21] Where can I find information about the partition options sync, noatime, nodev and notail? [06:22] and what is all this sudu business [06:22] i have 7.10 with 2.6.22-14-generic. i just got a usb cellular card. i need to modify the airprime module to add it's USB IDs. what package(s) do i need to install so i have the source matching the current kernel? [06:22] Wolf23: the instructions are already written out on the page we linked you to [06:22] hendrixski: it's just a different installation method [06:22] racarter: medibuntu [06:22] too much to learn [06:22] joanki: one of my favorites is VirtualBox, but everyone has there favorite. [06:22] can anyone help me get nm-applet to ask me for my keyring passphrase again? [06:22] hendrixski: besides your card's kinda old :P [06:22] arghh2d2: do you know where the small partion is?? as in hd1,o etc etc?? [06:22] every thing you guys say i am typing down [06:22] to research [06:22] i have 2x 500gb array. should i do fat32 or ntfs for media?? [06:22] =) [06:22] na joanki just keep at it [06:22] err, wait no... they are the same for gutsy and feisty.... it says to go to the restricted modules thingy, which doesn't work [06:22] the intel chip that comes with my MB [06:22] fiXXXerMe1: on grubs man page? [06:22] joanki: pace yourself :) [06:22] joanki: There's a package called QEMU that emulates a PC, and can use hardware support if the PC's CPU has it to make it faster, or there's the commerical VMWare or there's VirtualBox etc [06:22] you'll get it [06:22] How do I install compiz themes? [06:22] Reng: Fat32 would be too slow, it'll make a waste of that raid array [06:22] how do i shoot web? [06:23] KI4IKL: QSL? [06:23] KI4IKL: install the 'compiz' package to get the control panel to do it [06:23] sorry couldn't resist [06:23] does anyone here have a dual monitor setup working on an ATI graphics card on 7.10? [06:23] dizy, some WAN drivers are already 1000Mbps...easiest thing is to check your kernel config (zcat /proc/config.gz > /some/file) to see if your driver is already at 1000mbps. Basically, if there's a driver available and your hardware's capable of it, it's already enabled [06:23] Lustblader: stick your middle finger into your wrist and yell 'shoot web!' [06:23] Lustblader: i know the small partition is called hda8 according to the results of command: fdisk -l [06:23] chowmeined: btw, when is ext3 or XFS getting awesome permissions like ntfs >:( [06:23] so is Byrol (however you spell it) dead in the watter with this build? [06:23] um.... what chat client are you linux users using to access irc? [06:23] i want it [06:23] sound in flash anyone? (amd64 with pulse-audio) [06:23] i'm using xchat but i think that is windows based [06:23] joanki: xchat [06:23] i like my extended permissions :( [06:23] So since XMMS has been discontinued, what am I supposed to use? [06:23] joanki: If the CPU supports hardware VT, then there's a package called "kvm" that uses it (kvm is a customised qemu that uses the hardware VT) [06:23] oh cool! [06:23] joanki: I use irssi. it's a terminal based client [06:23] n2diy, EM63 AL [06:23] limecat: actually they have had those for a long time [06:23] joanki: i like Pidgin. [06:23] Spisters, you mean Beryl? it's merged back with compiz [06:23] joanki: xchat [06:23] joanki: gnome-chat here. [06:23] joanki: you'll prefer xchat, trust me [06:23] arghh2d2: then find the id of the partion with in the HD hd8 is the name of the whole hd [06:23] joanki: xchat\ [06:23] ok i m gonna use what intuitive uses [06:23] limecat: i dont use them cause it adds complexity for me but.. you can set them up [06:24] will compiz work with this build? [06:24] joanki: pencil and paper? :p [06:24] IcemanV9: the intel chip that comes with my MB [06:24] limecat: they are called POSIX ACLs [06:24] chowmeined: really? theyre not quite as useful @ home, but in the work place, i love em [06:24] Does anyone have dual monitors working w/ ATI radeon graphics card on 7.10? [06:24] and for programmers, what is the best compiler and debugger for linux [06:24] is valgrind ok? [06:24] KI4IKL: RR, FN20bt here. [06:24] chowmeined: thanks, ill look into it o.0 [06:24] joanki, gcc [06:24] i heard there was a compiler called gcd or something [06:24] limecat: its just a mount time option [06:24] Lustblader: you lost me there [06:24] is it safe to upgrade now? are the servers still flooded? [06:24] oh wow o.0 thanks [06:24] Reng, are you going to be access the external drive from Windows ? [06:24] limecat: then you can use them um.. setfacl tool to set them [06:24] joanki: the GNU tools which come as standard to build Linux apps [06:25] juan_: yes. are you on gutsy? laptop or desktop? [06:25] is there anything other than gcc I wonder [06:25] chowmeined: awesome [06:25] joanki: valgrind is for testing programs for leaks etc [06:25] joanki: best compiler? you'll get at least 100 or so answers for that. [06:25] yes i need valgrind [06:25] anyone know a website i can upload a pgp public key for a friend to download please? [06:25] limecat: also there are some extra options you can do with setattr.. things like sticky and append only [06:25] yes, gusty, desktop [06:25] i had to reformat my laptop today beause i had a meory leak from a bad program i wrote ;) [06:25] limecat: those are standard [06:25] can i get bzip2 to show the progress of it compressing a file? [06:25] arun I just got done with mine, seemed to work fine [06:25] arghh2d2: can you pm? [06:25] how do you extract an archive to directories under /usr with the GUI [06:25] ill take a look, all good stuff [06:25] debuggers are a MUST when using dynamic memory!!!! arrrr [06:25] im planning to use the external for my linux system [06:25] joanki: I use Eclipse + CDT as my IDE for Linux kernel development, app development, as well as for Java and other development [06:25] Vlet, i'm in gusty and "compiz" is installed [06:25] GBU tools....

[06:26] Spister: Was it very slow? Everything works after the upgrade? [06:26] Lustblader: i think so [06:26] Hi. monitor refuses to display 1440x900 even though I entered syncs in manually... gutsy/intel i915 [06:26] eido, why are you trying to, and you would need to use sudo to do that, i think you shouldn't sudo gui programs [06:26] or you gotta use them cuz everyone at work does [06:26] Lustblader: i responded to your pm [06:26] how do i make the title bar font smaller? [06:26] Reng, if you aren't using Windows at all, I would look at formatting it ext3 [06:26] can anyone help? [06:26] then pm me arghh2d2 [06:26] nrdb, i can even manually mount a partition :S [06:26] KI4IKL: oh, I meant to say 'emerald' [06:26] juan_: okay. system> pref > resolution ... pick the widescreen size [06:26] I have to admit, it was slow, and now my screens won't minimize though that might be because of my system, not because of the distro [06:26] Lustblader: i did [06:27] joanki: Usually you start by installing "build-essential" and add things like "gettext" "autoconf" "automake" and various other support tools and libraries [06:27] eido, though i'm not sure about if it's ok to sudo a gui program [06:27] IcemanV9: gusty, desktop [06:27] is ext3 fat32? [06:27] Ashfire908: gksudo. [06:27] ShakaGoldSaint, don't know whats wrong. [06:27] hey intuitive, my ubuntu can't access the internet? do i need to do something to make it connect? [06:27] is there a way to scan for new hardware devices like USB drives? [06:27] heh, wish live cd had LVM options, guess i gotta reboot :\ [06:27] oops [06:27] never mind =p [06:27] Reng: no [06:27] !ati [06:27] nrdb, that makes two of us, thanks for the help [06:27] Reng, ext3 and fat32 are very different. [06:27] haha i guess choosing the network would be the answer [06:27] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:27] n2diy, does it put it in a restriced enviroment or something? [06:28] Ashfire908: I needed to extract alien arena to /usr/local/games I was wondering if there was a way to directly extract using the GUI instead of extracting to home folder and then moving with terminal and changing permissions [06:28] Lustblader: i tried to pm you [06:28] joanki: Eclipse is great for my kernel dev work - it hands the entire kernel tree effortlessly, and sometimes I have multiple kernel versions open at once so thats 10,000's of files indexed/managed [06:28] ! gksudo | Ashfire908 [06:28] Ashfire908: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using « sudo » - See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info [06:28] jrib: Click the Check button to check for new updates. , A message will appear informing you of the availability of the new release. <--- it doesnot appear any message, but it click on install updates [06:28] wow [06:28] maybe when i graduate i will come work for ubuntu =) [06:28] arghh2d2: you need to register on this server to pm... /msg nickserv register password email [06:28] will window able to read ext3? [06:28] Reng: No [06:28] what are you studying joanki? [06:28] eido, see the ubotu message that was sent to me [06:28] ShakaGoldSaint, I have heard that windows can screw the partition table, if a small partition is used for windows. [06:28] Spister: what do you mean your screens won't minimise [06:28] brb.. need to restart [06:28] programming [06:29] joanki: It's got the Internet now? [06:29] when I try to minimize them they just close [06:29] yup i just had to choose the network [06:29] it sucks [06:29] Ashfire908: thanks already checking it outs [06:29] i like it it's so easy to use [06:29] joanki: makes sense :) [06:29] what school do you go to joanki? [06:29] Reng, I believe there is a driver for windows that handles ext3, don't know anything about it thou. [06:29] is there a way to scan for new hardware devices like USB drives? [06:29] Wolf23: install those first [06:29] limecat: i think you can install the tools on the livecd.. if you just wanna try it out [06:29] oic. im planning to share the drive with window on my network [06:29] is there a progress bar for bzip2? [06:29] joanki: If you like exploring and testing software, use Synaptic to browse the 10,000's of applications and packages that Ubuntu provides [06:29] jrib: click on install updates? [06:30] hmmmm that would fall in the tmi category spisters [06:30] Wolf23: yes [06:30] hey folks, anyone know about changes to Apache 2? after updating to Gusty it is not loading Trac anymore [which uses lib_cgi] [06:30] Adam, have you had a look at the output of dmesg ?

[06:41] i'll try it out, thanks [06:41] MASTER_OF_THE_CH, if you bricked the ROM/BIOS/FIRMWARE, good luck geeting it to do anything [06:41] Okiedokie [06:41] amadeux: you have to have the right video card [06:41] Vista is A lame copy of OS X Tiger [06:41] amadeux: what do you have? [06:42] Is there any graceful ay to move all my important crap with me during install, or while on the livecd [06:42] :)) [06:42] or should I put it all to DVD? [06:42] amadeux : right click, goto change desktop background, goto visual effects tab, click extra or custom [06:42] I've got vista and it runs beautifully [06:42] poncho: I do. Compiz fusion worked for me on feisty... I have a 6600GT [06:42] Evverything works but the phone [06:42] it's a pleasure to use [06:42] though you need a nice system [06:42] i need to downgrade the baseband and the modem FW [06:42] open sauce rox! [06:42] amadeux: do you have nvidia drivers? [06:42] i need to use the windows but it wont connect in VB [06:42] is video memory a cause for the black menus and windows i see after running compiz for a while? [06:42] can anyone help me with a Wacom Volito 2? [06:42] poncho: yep, restricted drivers say they are enabled (and the nvidia logo is shown when X starts up) [06:42] oxeimon, I have $1,200 ogf hardware, and it was fine for a while [06:42] then go and enable compiz fusion through system->pref->apearance [06:42] I bought it like that BTW [06:42] seanieb64: In Vista you can use Disk Management to shrink the Vista partition to make space for Ubuntu, then install as dual-boot and move things over as required. [06:42] mpeters: yes [06:42] ok, I changed my xorg.conf, how do I apply those settings? does a logout/login suffice? [06:43] MeRodent: system > administration > restricted drivers manager [06:43] does anyone here have the ATI catalyst driver for 7.10? [06:43] MASTER_OF_THE_CH, well then it's not bricked. does this have anything to do with ubuntu/linux [06:43] but I dont get performance at all! [06:43] Yes [06:43] Making it work in VB [06:43] lwizardl: what do you mean rename? [06:43] it wont connect [06:43] seanieb64: oh, well I've only got 1k of hardware bought last year, and it runs beautifully [06:43] xIke_, ctrl + Alt + Backspace, or a reboot [06:43] lwizardl: you can use e2label to rename it [06:43] can anyone help me with a Wacom Volito 2? in PV [06:43] and_moi, ok. thanks [06:43] but that renames the label [06:43] MASTER_OF_THE_CH, did you try searching online?

[06:45] MASTER_OF_THE_CH: maybe you're the first to try :) [06:45] amadeux: then enable the compiz fusion from system->pref->apearence [06:45] seanieb64: Because I need help with ubuntu. Are you saying that I can't say anything good about windows just because Im in the ubuntu channel? [06:45] poningru, and that won't corrupt anything [06:45] Well [06:45] thats all im rely bothered about graphics wise, lol [06:45] lwizardl: no [06:45] I need to do it so I can downgrade it. . . [06:45] seanieb64 there is an import wizard as part of the install wizard. im not sure what it will import though as ive never used it [06:45] Thanks Jordan! [06:45] Geri, np :) [06:45] poningru: the appearance prefs app just seem to hang, it isn't being redrawn [06:45] seanieb64 its the sencond to the last step i believe [06:46] Debian is able to convert crt's into touchscreen monitor.. does that apply to ubuntu as well? [06:46] how big filesize and how much time does it take to compile a kernel? [06:46] convert crts into touchscreen? >_> [06:46] bobjr: no dude thats not possible [06:46] ... [06:46] about an hour on my machine [06:46] I know right [06:46] * and_moi wants crt > touchscreen [06:46] Dows anyone know where the firefox plugin folder is? [06:46] bobjr: thats impossible [06:46] ubuntu101- whts ur machine like? [06:46] Blama: addons [06:46] grrrrrrr gutsy is broken and unstable [06:46] Blama, on a per user basis ~/.mozilla/plugins [06:47] Blama: a few places most likely in .mozilla/plugins [06:47] In compiz my 3D Desktop only has two Desktops, i DownloaeD the AvacneD Manager anD no luck? [06:47] bobjr: debian can convert crt to touchscreen ... i have been wondering about that with ubuntu [06:47] O want more [06:47] bash: cd: /.mozilla: No such file or directory [06:47] so is the compiz stuff worth getting a supported card? [06:47] amadeux, just because you had issuse doesn't mean it's bad [06:47] IcemanV9: dude what are you doing? [06:47] So what could I do? [06:47] amadeux: yeah, it's very buggy and seems to be incomplete... [06:47] does anyone know how to get k8m890 display drivers to work in gutsy? [06:47] Then?

[06:49] Madpilot: That I do know...I was just looking for a general consensus.... Arafangion: As much as that is good advice in any situation...It is not really calming in terms of facing an upgrade [06:49] poningru: i just use them in amarok, so would they load fast still? on ext3 [06:49] brad016: install the compiz configuration thing [06:49] craig22: yeah dude [06:49] brad016, Have you tried right clicking on the bottom right panel applet and adding more? [06:50] poningru: im at just under 100,00 [06:50] brad016: do you have ccsm installed? if not, go to System > Appearances, and you should be able to increase the # on one of the tabs there [06:50] Jordan_U: does not work if you have compiz [06:50] poningru: 100,000 [06:50] does anybody know how to make the thinkpad-buttons working [06:50] craig22: yeah that shouldnt be a problem [06:50] assuming number of files [06:51] poningru: ya, ok cool thanks [06:51] i cant believe he waited like 20 secs between "any help?" and /quit [06:51] wubuntu: yeah search for thinkpad on wiki.ubuntu.com depending on your model its different [06:51] I am getting this error upgrading to Gutsy, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41272/ it doesn't go away no matter how many times I say yes, should I say no? [06:51] Jordan_U: looking [06:52] poningru: yeah, i know, but normally 'hotkey-setup' configures ist - don't wanna use 'tpb' [06:52] What would I be able to do? [06:52] <[chr0n0s]> what do install mysql-server-5.0 or mysql-server, what is the difference ?? [06:52] is gutsy kind aunstable at the mo, i see there are alot of prob popping up here [06:52] how can i check how long a file is in blocks [06:52] Jordan_U: is that with update-manager? [06:52] poningru, Yes [06:52] extrakick: we had similar during feisty [06:53] whts linux equivalent of chkdsk LETTER? [06:53] extrakick: it's beta and it's new.. so expected stuff all this [06:53] poningru, I also have apt-listbugs installed, but I don't think this is that [06:53] Lustblader: it's not beta [06:53] zakman: fsck [06:53] /server irc.webchat.org [06:53] is it really possible to enable/disable hdd DMA? [06:53] thx [06:53] Jordan_U: before you do that [06:53] zakman, fsck DEVICE [06:53] [chr0n0s]: mysql-server is a meta-package that will install the recommended mysql-server version when there is more than one version in the repositories [06:53] device being /dev/hd_? [06:53] do a sudo apt-get update [06:53] and then sudo apt-get upgrade [06:53] poningru: yeah, i know, but normally 'hotkey-setup' configures ist - don't wanna use 'tpb' [06:53] no problems here with gutsy even got my theme to work properly off the bat [06:53] ferromag, yes, but Ubuntu should have that set properly [06:54] wubuntu: oh dont know what to tell you dude [06:54] poningru, I am in the middle of the upgrade :) [06:54] Ashfire908: ls -s ? [06:54] anytime I've tried all I got was Inproper ioctl for device... [06:54] s*** [06:54] sledmouth: depends on your budget, what you like, and if youd use it for other things [06:54] poninfru, lustblader, ok kool, im new to linux, i thought new ubuntu wouldnt be released unless very stable [06:54] poningru, No package has been installed yet, but I don't think that it is a good idea to just quit [06:54] Hi... is there any way to change the default amarok behaviour when double-click a playlist? [06:55] vali: you might have better help in #kubuntu [06:55] uhmm... youre right :P [06:55] extrakick its stable [06:55] maybe you should try #amarok instead lol [06:55] i forgot about #kubuntu [06:55] stable here [06:55] stable here [06:55] stable there [06:55] in #amarok all ppl seems to sleep xD [06:55] why am I getting a message telling me to upgrade my distrobution to gutsy if I am using gutsy in the first place... [06:55] Not upgrading here ;) [06:56] ok, I tried editing my xorg.conf to add more buttons, but no luck. clearly 4/5 are scroll up/down, but I can't seem to get results from 6/7 [06:56] anyone sticking around for halp? [06:56] can't tell much from 5 hour uptime... [06:56] extrakick: There are a lways problems, whether issues to do with hardware config, user-misunderstanding, or previous configuration settings confusing updates. You have to remember that people generally don't come here to report a success, only a problem :) [06:56] ubuntu101, but about all thee problems all these users are running into? [06:56] jordan.. your using gnome 2.18? [06:56] vali: well, at least they answer... :P [06:56] Sir_Sid: did you install a beta? a rc? [06:56] xIke_: use the command xev test [06:56] when they're around [06:56] riotkittie, nope. Torrented the the actual gutsy distro [06:56] Sir_Sid, What does "lsb_release -a" say you are running? [06:56] So, what could I do: Iphone in Virtual Box? [06:56] very true intuitivenipple [06:56] anyone know of a way to mount norton ghost .v2i drives in ubuntu? [06:56] It connected the very first time when I did it for like 10 sec then stopped. . . [06:57] Distributor ID: Ubuntu [06:57] Description: Ubuntu 7.10 [06:57] Release: 7.10 [06:57] Codename: gutsy [06:57] That was like yesterday. . [06:57] buenas noches [06:57] gah, I managed to blow away x [06:57] I'm trying to mount my windows partition but it says I don't have the privilege to do it, what should I do? [06:57] why the ralink drivers don't work correctly in the new kernel? >:o [06:57] What's the difference between the gutsy alternative iso and the regular iso? [06:58] poningru, ok, it thinks my right two buttons are also 4/5, and doesn't even see my left two buttons [06:58] akaishi: what do you mean blow it away? [06:58] I am getting this error upgrading to Gutsy, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41272/ it doesn't go away no matter how many times I say yes, should I say no? [06:58] BlaenkDenum, type sudo before you mount [06:58] BlaenkDenum: How are you trying to mount it? [06:58] poningru, nothing registers as 6/7 [06:58] wubuntu: can you elaborate? [06:58] xIke_: ooh that sucks [06:58] somebody speak spanish..?? [06:58] enouf where r u..? [06:58] BlaenkDenum, you may want to edit fstab to auto mount at boot [06:58] PurpZeY: GUI, just going into the drive and it automatically tries to mount [06:58] !es | ubuntu [06:58] <[chr0n0s]> thanks IntuitiveNipple [06:58] ubuntu: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. [06:58] I did a dist-upgrade to (theoretically) edgy, and when the machine restarted, x failed to run [06:58] I added my line to fstab, how can I apply the mount right now? [06:58] Flynsarmy: the regular iso boots into a graphical environment, the alternate iso is simply a text-based installer [06:58] Sir_Sid: [06:58] i was ready to upgrade to gutsy but wen i tried live my card wouldnt do desktop effects, so that really put me off, hahaha [06:58] poningru, lol [06:58] Jordan_U: if "yes" isnt getting you anywhere, and you've done it repeatedly, then perhaps it's time you went with no [06:58] Sir_Sid: I added the line to fstab, what's the command to re-mount or mount the drives? [06:58] extrakick, What card? [06:59] xIke_: dude what model is it? [06:59] riotkittie: rt61pci crashes using synaptic/apt-get! [06:59] Is there any difference between the CD and DVD releases? Do DVD contain more packages? [06:59] What would I do people? [06:59] hmm I actually forgot that one [06:59] you may wanna search google [06:59] BlaenkDenum, mount 0a [06:59] hey folks [06:59] rdeon 9550, as far as i know it blacklisted for some reason [06:59] poningru, razer diamondback [06:59] mount -a, thanks and_moi [06:59] BlaenkDenum: I've never done it that way...I just use NTS read [06:59] BlaenkDenum, sorry, mount -a [06:59] wubuntu: lovely :( file a bug report? [06:59] so I've kind of got no idea now [06:59] Flynsarmy: yes, the dvd images contain more packages [06:59] google provides no help. . . [06:59] jordan_u, but it works fine here on 7.04 [06:59] NFS* [06:59] riotkittie, Well, no packages have actually been installed yet, so there is the third choice of backing out entirely and avoiding possible brickage :) [06:59] yeah, there is a bugreport for few weeks [06:59] Flynsarmy: dvd = livecd + alternative altogether [07:00] Jordan_U: option #3 might be for the best [07:00] Flynsarmy dvd has more packages. they arent installed by default though. if you go to install something thats on the dvd it will ask for the disc instead of making you d/l it [07:00] Has anyone installed the Gnash plugin for Firefox? [07:00] extrakick: well most of them are just normal problems with how to use various applications. Installing linux (what IntuitiveNipple was doing earlier) is always a hurdle, especially if you want to mess with partitions [07:00] Others are drive problems, but I'm not seeing anything here such as it crashing computers or anything ;) [07:00] weird that it is doing that to you. hmmm. [07:00] riotkittie, :( [07:00] So what can I do? [07:00] just musing over this: i'm thinking about installing the 64bit version of ubuntu on my dell inspiron 6400 laptop, but is it worth it in terms of any performance benefits? [07:00] why they can't fix it? that'S not what i expected from Ubuntu [07:00] arun_: yes [07:00] yeah, I just can't mount [07:01] poningru: Does it work well for you? [07:01] riotkittie, It is also saying "The following 6 packages will be pinned or on hold: gij-4.2, libglade2-ruby1.8, ghostscript, libdb4.5, libpcrecpp0, texlive-latex-base" [07:01] BlaenkDenum: sudo mount /dev/... /media/.. [07:01] Neil3: I've been running 64-bit since June with no problems, in fact I've been pleasantly surprised by the application support compared to Feisty [07:01] Neil3: eh not really, especially if you like using proprietry stuff [07:01] arun_: well enough [07:01] seems to be working now nevermind [07:01] arun_: some flash sites still wont work [07:01] iStiKs: obviously not what I meant :P [07:01] youtube works [07:01] ubuntu101, my bad i gues im just annoyed my card is blacklisted, lol [07:01] poningru, all i can think of that i use which is proprietary is java [07:01] and similar sites work most of the time [07:01] my openoffice.org's full screen mode can't be untoggled. what configuration file can I edit for that? [07:01] ... [07:01] anyone know how to disable the ugly right click menu for flash files? [07:01] Neil3: thats not propreitry anymore [07:01] disable = change its appearance to look more like gnome [07:02] arun_: use gnash ;) [07:02] and gnash i've heard works pretty well? [07:02] extrakick, Does X restart when you run "glxinfo"? ( don't try it obviously unless you are prepared for X to crash :) [07:02] Neil3: yeah well enough [07:02] <[chr0n0s]> hey, will sudo aptitude remove xserver-xgl, will uninstall the pre-installed xserver-xgl ??? [07:02] poningru, any ideas? === amidanie2 is now known as amidaniel [07:02] the java version installed by default in 7.10 is still proprietary...the free version is called iced tea and i don't believe it is ready for widespread use yet [07:02] Neil3: yeah you may want to experiment [07:02] Neil3: I use 64-bit + Java 1.6 + Eclipse Europa and it works perfectly [07:02] there is a solution: blacklist rt61pci, download and install rt61 from serialmonkey.com - that cannot be the truth - it's like in Debian ETch [07:02] xIke_: just google around to see if anyone has gotten it working before [07:02] Does anyone know wher the actual plugin folder for firefox is? It is not at ~/.mozilla/plugins [07:02] can some one help me with my ati 9800 video card [07:02] rather, it's not installed by default, but comes with ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:03] poningru, yeah just testing the water in here before i do, but the more i read, the more i wanna switch! [07:03] Anyone (besides me) have a problem installing perl modules (the initial make fails). [07:03] xIke_: apart from that sorry dude [07:03] !id [07:03] join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia [07:03] jordan_u, u mean in 7.04 or 7.10? [07:03] poningru, yeah, looking on google already, not optimistic. thanks man [07:03] extrakick, Either [07:03] xIke_: the problem is your mouse doesnt seem to be sticking to normal standard methods of communicating with the computer [07:03] poningru: you just said gnash doesn't work well on all websites :) [07:03] I am guessing even under windows it required its own drivers [07:03] poningru, i think it will help myself as I do video/audio transcoding/conversion quite a lot [07:03] Any ideas? [07:03] arun_: right but it works well enough for me [07:04] hey guys I opened my windows drive and ubuntu automatically mounted it, but it doesn't show up in fstab, I'm guessing I can't be sure it'll always be automatically mounted? [07:04] I need to unmount the iphone so its like brand new when I connect it again [07:04] is any one having a problem with their ATI 9800 with ubuntu 7.10 [07:04] does gnash work with games at all? [07:04] BlaenkDenum: that auto mount thing is using gnome's own virtual file system thing [07:04] BlaenkDenum: Why the concern with fstab? [07:04] jordan_u, do i run that in terminal, sorry to ask im new to linx [07:04] any other way to change the appearance of the flash right click menu? [07:05] PurpZeY: because I'm going to system link my firefox bookmarks from windows drive to linux, and I want to make sure it's automatically mounted on boot [07:05] extrakick, Yes, but only if you are prepared to have every GUI app you are currently running possibly quit ;) [07:05] BlaenkDenum: you can make it read writable by you by just changing the ownership of the folder to you [07:05] PurpZeY: so what do you guys suggest I do [07:05] Does anyone know wher the actual plugin folder for firefox is? It is not at ~/.mozilla/plugins [07:05] BlaenkDenum: then I would say put into fstab [07:05] hey [07:05] Blama: that folder applies to you heh [07:05] but thats a bit tricky [07:05] BlaenkDenum: Gnome-Mount will automount hot-plugged drives if the option is set. If you want them to always appear on the same mount point then you'd need to add an entry to fstab that uses the device's UUID [07:05] how can i get ubuntu 7.10? [07:05] poningru: but I don't know what I would put in that haha [07:05] just done [07:05] Does anybody know how to install Beryl on 7.10? I don't like Compiz [07:06] !gutsy [07:06] Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) is the latest version of Ubuntu.

I rewrote my perl cpan config now it makes fine.. hehhe [07:07] extrakick, No, it's just that that is why cards are usually blacklisted, because a check can't be safely done to see if they would support compiz ( I have one such card, a SIS :( ) [07:07] I'm always happy [07:07] klos: no, i have not had that problem at all [07:07] Jordan_U: i'll keep my fingers crossed for ya [07:07] k thx [07:08] IntuitiveNipple: thanks, but what information would I need [07:08] Is any one having problems enabling their ATI drivers in the Restricted Driver [07:08] IntuitiveNipple: the UUID is CCDC3FAEDC3F9226, it's a Windows XP NTFS formatted partition [07:08] hmm, claims xserver-core isn't installed [07:08] Anick: my friend was [07:08] riotkittie, WTF?

[07:11] Can anybody here help me with a Compiz problem?

[07:12] i'm not upgrading 'til my pr0n DL's finish [07:12] GuHhH: are you running a server? [07:12] does any one know a good tutorial on how to get your ati accelerated graphic driver working with 7.10 [07:12] Jordan_U: any chance you have a backup? i have sources.lst sources.lst~ and something else in my directory [07:13] BlaenkDenum: you've tried mounting it manually? [07:13] riotkittie, I have a backup, it's just dangerous for users that don't realize that the next application they install after a failed upgrade will basically half upgrade them to Gutsy [07:13] why am i getting this error??? http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotd00ku78ktorredk9.png [07:13] I am going to sleep [07:13] wine+utorrent [07:13] nn guys [07:14] sgszgsdg [07:14] Jordan_U: oh mannnn, i wonder how many people have had that happen so far. [07:14] Lustblader: what error? [07:14] i mean the black area [07:14] poningru: im trying to configure it for a server, but im not on a server right now... why? [07:14] GuHhH: ok gotcha [07:15] riotkittie, Hopefully not many, I think my problem with the upgrade itself may be somewhat my fault ( I have apt-get-listbugs installed ) [07:15] all that does is it forwards all data from 192.168.1.* to your port 80 to your port 8080 [07:15] well certain types of data [07:15] guys anything is wrong with swiftfox? cos i cant access the page? [07:16] arang2, http://www.getswiftfox.org/ [07:16] Lustblader: no idea dude [07:16] nn guys [07:16] Jordan_U: i cant access that site for some reason [07:16] arang2, Try the .org I linked too, it gives valuable information about swiftfox ;) === D[a]rkH[a]ck is now known as DarkHack [07:17] i found out that if i install proprietary (restricted) driver + install xgl another user was able to get desktop effects to work on 7.10 [07:17] Jordan_U: so someone hacked the original site? [07:17] !ntfs-3g [07:17] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [07:18] so i think im going to move documents over so i can get ready to do that [07:18] arang2, No, just domain squatted the .org, but this is the one time where I actually fully support someone domain squatting [07:19] Jordan_U:but the original site is down? [07:19] hi [07:20] arang2, I dont know, and I personally don't care, swiftfox violates the MPL and is probably not even much faster [07:20] hi. After I brought my laptop running gutsy out of hibernate it kept prompting for the gnome-keyring password. Eventually I hit cancel and the prompt went away. Since then I have been unable to get wireless going and it no longer prompts me for my gnome-keyring password upon login. Any idea how I can get this going again? [07:20] will software that work don 7.10 still work on 7.10? [07:20] anyone up to solve some sound problems in xubuntu? [07:20] i mean worked on 7.04 will still work on 7.10 [07:20] Jordan_U: ok lesson learned , do u know any way to control tracker? [07:21] Vantage13: try System > Preferences > Encryption Preferences (GNOME keyring) [07:21] arang2, Control in what way? [07:21] I need an apt-get fixitalready command [07:21] Jordan_U: it's always there eating my processor [07:22] Jordan_U: like 50% [07:22] arang2, There is a preference for it in System -> Preferences somewhere [07:22] I have an MSI geforce 5200 with a dell 2405fpw display connected via DVI. I manually picked my display as the monitor, but when I set it to 1920x1200 resolution, the display scales and I have to scroll around the display [07:22] the largest resolution that will show up completely is 1600x1200 [07:22] IntuitiveNipple: I don't seem to have that option under preferences... [07:22] hmm, I just finished installing Gusty, and my sound doesn't work... [07:22] I have an Audigy sound card [07:23] the last time it worked it was under feisty before the xorg upgrade [07:23] Vantage13: hmmm...maybe I installed somethinf extra :) (I have Seahorse installed) [07:23] aranel i finaly got it to work to play mp3s but it wont play the riped music out of itunes :( [07:23] todkon: my sound doesn't work too, I got 2 sound cards [07:23] hey i have a bad hard disk with bad partition data...i used dd_rescue to copy the whole disk (not any individual partitions)...how can i access the data from the image? [07:24] ActySofts: did you make sure your onboard sound is off? [07:24] riotkittie, Trying the upgrade again now with apt-listbugs removed, hopefully that was the only problem [07:24] todkon: what do you mean? [07:24] sagar: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#head-3a961daf10e44f17ca815a17603aa03ab176a3c9 [07:24] lustblader, still here? [07:24] ActySofts: one of your soundcards is on the motherboard, right? [07:24] riotkittie, If so I will file a bug report asking that a check for apt-listbugs be added to update-manager [07:24] hi, gutsy, when "apt-get update", some fr sources appears whereas i don't have any in sources.list? where can i remove it? [07:24] hi,everyone [07:25] i have a problem with ubuntu 7.10 [07:25] Vantage13: Also, check System > Administration > Keyring Manager [07:25] How do you install Flash under Ubuntu x64? [07:25] i cannot boot the 7.10 livecd [07:25] Neutrinux, Look for other folders in /etc/apt/ [07:25] todkon: yes, though it worked before turning it off to go to bed, and I restarted it a couple of times [07:25] anyone help? [07:25] what's an easy linux p2p program kinda like limewire or ares? [07:25] Blama, Use Applications -> Add / Remove in Gutsy [07:25] IntuitiveNipple: yeah, I've been in there. I've even tried removing all the keyrings and letting them recreate... [07:25] scguy318, oh cool thanks [07:25] josss: you've changed BIOS settings to CD boot? you've checked the md5? [07:25] josss: have you checked for defects? [07:25] ActySofts: ahh, hmm, well, make sure its disabled in your Bios :P [07:26] Can someone please help me to make sure my current apt-cacher setup is used when I do an upgrade to 7.10 ? [07:26] yeah,already checked [07:26] josss: what exactly happens when you try to boot [07:26] ActySofts: neither of your soundcards work either though? [07:26] not even on board? [07:26] IntuitiveNipple: but I'm still not getting prompted for the keyring and can't get wireless going again... [07:26] Vantage13: Hmm, try hacking through the settings using gconf in the /apps section... I bet there's a gnome setting somewhere doing it [07:26] it say cannot view in this display mode [07:26] Can anyone assist me in getting grub to load 7.10 install disk from a partition instead of a cdrom? [07:26] can i remove lost+found from a sda drive? [07:26] Jordan_U: hopefully it goes much better for you this time around. are the repos still miserably slow? [07:27] Jordan_U, it won't let me check it off [07:27] riotkittie, Not nearly as bad [07:27] todkon: yep, and there's no option like that in my bios (I can't make anything out of italian though), but they both work on windoze and they did work before [07:27] josss: an X error? have you tried safe graphics mode? [07:27] Jordan_U: they are in sources.list.save (what is that? adept manager thing?) [07:27] scguy318: no [07:28] ahh. i'll have to pop a CD in and try installing to my external later then. [07:28] todkon: I'm using xubuntu btw, but I guess it doesn't really matter, the core is the same [07:28] alright, i have a broadcom wireless in my laptop, any advice on getting this thing working? [07:28] Neutrinux, No idea, I just know that other sources can be defined in other files [07:28] Jordan_U, It will not let me download Macromedia Flash Plugin :( I cannot check it off [07:28] Jordan_U: ok thank u [07:28] DanMulvey, Install Gutsy :) [07:28] alternatively, can someone explain what the update-manager upgrade option does to /etc/sources.list so I can do it manually to start the upgrade [07:28] how do I increase the number of my viewports so I can have a cube?

I get an error about framebuffers, but I can't seem to any info on how to install them, and seting vga= via grub hasn't worked either. [07:41] top is there [07:41] this is what i get when i run gnome-panel [07:41] scguy318: I just have no indication of WHERE the problem is, so I was hoping there were some debugging flags I could turn on somewhere [07:41] odzk, rule of GUI computing: always right click. everywhere. [07:41] spiderskull: have you looked in syslog? [07:41] scguy318: it could very well be the drivers, but I've tried 2 different sets [07:41] joanki: do you use yahoo, or aim instant messaging, as well? [07:41] spiderskull: and modprobe -l just lists all the modules [07:41] Is there any way to validate if my do-release-upgrade was completely successful? [07:41] I've detected a panel already running, [07:41] and will now exit. [07:41] spiderskull: not whether they're actually loaded, thats lsmod I believe [07:41] can someone please point me to documentation on what update-manager does step by step when the upgrade option is taken ? [07:41] no, tovella [07:41] i just downloaded ubuntu and installed it tonight [07:41] scguy318: usually I just tail /var/log/messages -- is there something else I should look for [07:42] spiderskull: /var/log/syslog, dmesg :P [07:42] how come i can't get dual-monitor setup working in gutsy? [07:42] ok I am new and wondering... if wireless shows as an option at all in my networks does that mean it is recognising my card? [07:42] spiderskull: System -> Administration -> System Log may be helpful [07:42] is it because gutsy doesn't know that I have a video card that can do that? [07:42] scguy318: yeah, my mistake.. lsmod does show it, though [07:42] jotil: this is what i get odzk, rule of GUI computing: always right click. everywhere. [07:42] anyone in here playing ut on there linux pc? [07:42] scguy318: wait a second... I'm starting to see activity. [07:42] I notice a process called trackerd is hogging my cpu for a long time now. Do I need to worry about it? It seems to be an indexing service of some sort. [07:42] one thing i notice is that when i go to add/remove applications a LOT of applications are NOT available to me [07:43] can anyone hep me get irssi? [07:43] bluebanna: have u installed the drivers for your card? [07:43] bluebanana, i have heard someone say that he had to manually do it. i think Vlet? dual monitor setup? [07:43] Smergzor: thats exactly it, when it finishes indexing it shouldn't suck up CPU [07:43] riotkittie: this is what i get ie> odzk: ok, then right click on your top panel, select new panel [07:43] scguy318: so it seems I just needed to restart; I modprobe'd ndiswrapper and now the light at least turns on [07:43] anyone have any idea why irssi not working? [07:43] ok let me try [07:43] * darkzero has quit (Client Quit) [07:43] * andersbr has quit ("Leaving") [07:43] spiderskull: try sudo modprobe ndiswrapper? see if its not loaded already [07:43] scguy318: ndiswrapper seems to be loaded -- modprobe -l|grep ndiswrapper gives me a listing [07:43] does anyone one how to change the env variables for feisty so that update-manager can use python modules?

I used to do that pasting thing when I first started; it's the whole right-click thing; if you're not used to it being associated with paste, it happens [07:44] us console people have that happen more often :) [07:44] odzk: no sweat [07:44] what i can i do with my bottom panel missing?

Upgrading to Gutsy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Please use bittorrent to download if possible, see !torrents [08:13] IcemanV9: oh... i'll try [08:13] guess not [08:14] Jordan_U: problem is i want to see the icon in the system tray where i used to right click and change themes from theyr lke in feisty [08:14] also ls /media/windows/Documents\ and\ Settings\ [08:14] does not show any files in the folder [08:14] which should not be true... [08:14] i hope its not true [08:14] hello [08:15] is there someone in here willing to help me figure out why my wireless is not functioning? [08:15] does anyone know how to upgrade by iso or cd? [08:15] ckw__, running the test with xawtv. don't you think mythtv should support v4l? [08:15] anyone have any ideas about the 7.10 alt cd install saying "the CD_ROM does not seem to contain a valid 'Release' file"? [08:15] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41287/ [08:15] is the contents of /etc/fstab [08:15] Hi guys! A quick question: If I install ubuntu, would it be hard to add Xfce and when added, would it be much different than Xubuntu? Thanks [08:15] is it wrong? [08:16] crazytime: You're trying to do the CDrom upgrade? [08:16] jotil:I believe it does...i have seen many references to v4l in the myth config screens [08:16] K_Dallas: It'll be the same (install the xubuntu-desktop pacakage) [08:16] racarter: nope [08:16] Flannel: no a clean install [08:16] Flannel: you know how to do the upgrade by cd or iso? [08:16] Flannel, thank you very much. [08:16] Extravert: You can upgrade with the alternate CD, yes. [08:16] racarter: it must have been the fact that the NTFS partition was not cleanly dismounted as the reason why it didn't mount the first time [08:16] Jaggs: can u elaborate more on your wireless? what kind? is it turned on? is it up and running? [08:16] Flannel: I have th eregular [08:16] crazytime: Try checking the CD for defects (at the boot menu) [08:17] IcemanV9: I don't have the file "xorg.conf". does it means i need to install something ? [08:17] the thing is that i am pretty sure i could not access /media/sda1 right after reboot [08:17] or i could access but nothing there [08:17] racarter: yeah that was probably why [08:17] which is why i was trying to manually mount it [08:17] Extravert: desktop CD can't be used to upgrade, only install (although you can always reinstall around your home partition) [08:17] crazytime: Possibly... see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/143958 [08:17] IcemanV9: opps. my mistake. I do have it [08:17] IlanG: what? how did you install ubuntu? [08:17] does anybody know how i can install all the required shit to compile everything and anything, ie.. sudo apt-get install ....? [08:17] i am confused [08:17] IlanG: nm. you found it. :) [08:17] I upgraded it from 7.04 [08:18] freetos: build-essential, and please watch the language [08:18] freetos: build-essential [08:18] !info build-essential | freetos [08:18] IcemanV9: I have a HP Pavilion dv6000, with a broadcom wireless card built in... I believe I have everything for that... ut its not picking anything up at all [08:18] freetos: build-essential: informational list of build-essential packages. In component main, is optional. Version 11.3ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 6 kB, installed size 48 kB [08:18] Flannel: thanks [08:18] IntuitiveNipple: okay thanks i will check the link [08:18] does anyone think there is something wrong with my /dev/sda1 partition? [08:18] freetos: To get you started: sudo apt-get install build-essential gettext autoconf automake [08:18] ckw__, heh. the card is working. i guess MythTV is pretty much the best software out there? [08:18] maybe that's why windows won't boot anymore? [08:18] so any way to make gnome's calendar/time start on mondays and not sundays? [08:18] So i used the upgrade process and it got to the point where it opened restricted driver for the broadcom43xx. It goes on to say that the driver is open source but the firmware is not. So I let it do it's thing and internet is working fine (which is an amazing feat in itself with this card.) So anyway my question is, what driver am i using? Open source driver or the ndsiwrapper driver that I had working from firesty [08:18] Jaggs: ah. broadcom. you'll need nisdiswrapper (sp?). [08:19] hotshot23t: open source driver using closed-source firmware [08:19] nemik: I believe that's affected by locales settings [08:19] hotshot23t: bcm43xx I think? [08:19] tritium: so how to change? [08:19] nemik: If its not a locale setting, you might try perusing gconf [08:19] IcemanV9: ndiswraper [08:19] *ndiswrapper [08:19] jotil:AFAIK that is true...it works here flawlessly with a Hauppauge PVR-350 [08:19] ndiswrapper... got it, it now shows wireless as an option but... no connections available at all [08:20] hi [08:20] hmm.. i guess i should restart to see if i can read anything from /media/sda1 right? [08:20] IcemanV9: I run "sudo aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.con" and at the and it says: "Aborted (core dumped) [08:20] nemik: perhaps sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales, but I'm not positive [08:20] scguy318: now i've heard that it only runs at 11 mbps vs the 54 using the ndiswrapper method [08:20] this irssi is really archaic looking [08:20] nemik: also, check your System -> Administration -> Language Support [08:20] anya123: it is the best [08:20] hotshot23t: not at all [08:20] how do i check which version of ubuntu am i running ? because unlike other distros ubuntu has no file in etc, like ubuntu_version or so [08:20] anya123: Not really, its just not frilly [08:20] rohan_: lsb_release -a [08:20] why, nemil? [08:20] tritium: thanks i'll see [08:20] it's impossible to use [08:20] rohan_ uname ? [08:20] folks, i can't upgrade to 7.10, everytime i do upgrade from feisty it says it cant get a package or two and the upgrade aborts...ideas? [08:21] does it have to do with wine [08:21] racarter: lsb_release -a would be best [08:21] arooni_: try downloading the alternative CD and upgrading use that [08:21] anya123: it is great, srsly. [08:21] how can i get it to show who'shere [08:21] anya123: /names [08:21] this is like .... cmd prompt business [08:21] where do they get the code names from? [08:21] No #ubuntu+1 yet? There appear to be new packages in Hardy [08:21] anya123: that's the nature of a command-line IRC client :P [08:22] racarter: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames [08:22] anya123: there's a plugin you can load to show a list of nicks [08:22] i have big problems to get my ubuntu to start on my sony 40" lcd, anyone got a solution for me ? [08:22] arooni_: did it tell you it failed to fetch a [08:22] IlanG: just type sudo aticonfig --initial; sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv [08:22] anya123: it's in the irssi-scripts package [08:22] cani make it more usesrfriendly? [08:22] zNNOOPy: what problem exactly [08:22] IlanG: then restart the X (ctrl alt backspace) [08:22] i like xchat but i don't want to pay the fee - im in school [08:22] anya123: What isn't friendly about it? [08:22] anya123: xchat is free [08:22] the command-line is the best user interface ever [08:22] it is? [08:22] anyone know how to install an xfi xtreme audio soundcard? it has an audigy chip, but the vendor strings say xfi. [08:22] anya123: sure, and it's available in ubuntu [08:22] IcemanV9: ok. i'll try [08:22] anya123: Of course, its in main. [08:22] hi everyone, i'm having some issues upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 using the update manager - getting a gzip sub process generated an error code. anyone help with this? [08:23] anya123: everything is free on ubuntu [08:23] ssh+screen+irssi = best chat experience [08:23] if i stop using irsssi, do i need to uninstall it? or is it dif from windows like that? [08:23] hello to all [08:23] IcemanV9:You seem to be hip to the ati fglrx driver...I am trying to extend to the second monitor with an ATI AIW 9600....is this possible with this card and this driver? [08:23] i have a question in regards to audacity [08:23] anya123: It'll take up harddrive space, but that's it. [08:23] anya123: you dont have to, you can remove it if you want [08:23] i persoally thing it would be better to do fresh install of 7.10 [08:23] scguy318, it works great on my samsung 22" monitor... but when i plug in the hdmi for my 40" the screen goes black after grub countdown [08:23] Flannel, neither xchat nor xchat-gnome are in Main, actually. Both Universe. [08:23] that is wat im planning on doing [08:23] remove it from the library? or remove it from my computer? [08:23] i just tried to DNB mix that I found in mpeg format to mp3 [08:23] zNOOPy: hmm, not sure [08:23] <[chr0n0s]> ok, does this makes any sense.. i installed the ati drivers for xorg 7.1, then xserver started, i goto restricted manager and checked "ATi Acclerated Graphics Driver" my question is which driver i am using finally? [08:23] a bit confused about it all still [08:23] but then again im new to linux, others might say otherwise [08:24] Madpilot: xchat-gnome got demoted? Geez, whats with canonical and the crusade against usable IRC clients? [08:24] anyone found a fix to the problem where dual displays are effectively one giant screen? (gnome-panels span both screens as do maximized windows) Using nvidia 7600 GS, Gutsy Ask if you need more info. [08:24] anya123, just ignore it. irssi doesn't take up a lot of space. [08:24] Audacity is looking for libmp3lame.so.0 which is located in /usr/lib [08:24] but for some reason Audacity doesn't sit it [08:24] Flannel, sod if I know. [08:24] hi [08:24] ckw__: never try dual monitor with ati driver before ... someone here will give you answers [08:24] Madpilot: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome/xchat-gnome its in main [08:24] could the file be "hidden" if so, how do I change tha t? [08:24] tha t? [08:24] yeah the code names still dont make sense after reading that [08:24] Flannel, ah, so it is. thought it had been demoted too. [08:24] oops [08:24] Flannel: have you tried dual monitors with nvidia? [08:24] what happened to gaim? [08:24] IcemanV9:10-4...thanks [08:24] how do i get out of irssi and back to cmd promt? [08:24] Madpilot: Wouldn't put it past them [08:24] anya123: /quit [08:24] i want xchat [08:24] anya123: /quit [08:24] racarter: gaim is now pidgin [08:25] anya123: /exit [08:25] jlilly: No [08:25] why the rename? gaim sounded more reasonable [08:25] anyone here that can help out with a Gutsy Gibbon upgrade problem? [08:25] ok i'll say it, i've become too lazy to add taxonomy tags. is there anyway to auto generate them? [08:25] racarter: issues with AOL [08:25] Flannel, Madpilot It's xchat that is in universe [08:25] i have 3 directories in my trash that I can't delete how can i force remove them [08:25] ckw__: it is doable though; i have seen others mention that it worked [08:25] bastards [08:25] racarter, AOL was probably muttering [08:25] bryce_: just ask your question and get ignored like the rest of us ;) [08:25] gutsy installed. pidgin takes a LONG time to connect to irc............ on feisty, it was almost instant [08:25] ckw__, last question: mythubuntu is what you installed? for the backend and frontend of mythtv?

[08:43] racarter, "Applications > Add/Remove" then on the right panel - select "Sound & Video" then scroll down to G [08:43] racarter, you will find the GStreamer plugins over ther [08:43] there* [08:44] IcemanV9: sorry. i don't understand you. while running grep fglrx xprg.conf I did not see anything happend [08:44] Lifeisfunny: system > preferences > appearance > visual effects > custom [08:44] puli: dunno maybe install the ttf-indic-fonts package?

[08:45] hi, is the "Find best Server" button in adept (repository settings menu) of any use yet?

[09:09] try apt-get install alsa (or searchign for it in synaptics) [09:09] adante: i prefer to use thunar [09:09] riotkittie: oh they are? ok.. i dont have ralinks.. [09:09] and i'll be able to enable cube and stuff [09:09] riotkittie: so its the network manager that isnt working? [09:09] riotkittie: ATI and NVIDA drivers are not GPL [09:09] okay - is it the same for the NVIDIA drivers? [09:09] just use Synaptic? [09:09] zyxnull: he is referring to ralink wireless chipsets [09:09] zyxnull: and neither ati nor nvidea have anything to do with my wireless ;) [09:09] well if its a restricted driver, it will probably show up in the restricted drivers menu [09:10] zyxnull i belive ati drivers will sooner or later be opensource, prolly not under gpl, but still... [09:10] * Jordan_U is trying do-release-upgrade [09:10] and yes, alsa is in synaptics or in apt-get [09:10] Dyus: thanks! thats exactly what i was looking for (used it before, forgot name) [09:10] loompek: they already released them [09:10] loompek: but not GPL...

[09:13] adante, doesn't seem down to me [09:13] jacquesmerde, No they are all enabled by default [09:13] adante: up for me as well [09:13] Jordan_U: All? you being sarcastic? [09:14] hm i can't access it via apt or browsing it through firefox [09:14] jacquesmerde, no. try pinging it [09:14] jacquesmerde, All of the official Ubuntu repos, i.e. main universe multiverse and restricted [09:14] jacquesmerde: If you installed without internet connection, gutsi comments all the Internet sources [09:15] how do I make compiz use metacity as its window decorator rather than emerald (without switching off compiz) [09:15] anyone know what package contains the xpidl compiler? [09:15] zyxnull: that was my next question, yeah.whether coz i lacked a net connectino when i installed....why??? [09:16] jacquesmerde: I don't know, that happened to me too, however, it's easily fixed on "Software sources" [09:16] so n00bs like me, if we install without a net connection, how do we know the "right" sources to select?or even know we're supposed to? [09:16] <[chr0n0s]> i have set my default desktop manager to be xdm, now how i set my default session to be xfce ? its gnome as of now [09:17] jacquesmerde: If you manually check the file /etc/apt/sources.list you'll get explanations on what is recommended, why and what not [09:17] rothchild, are you using the latest compiz? [09:18] Hi all, me again. I upgraded to Gutsy, and ran into a few issues. I did a aptitude safe-ugrade, things have been fixed. I'm not sure my new Gutsy version is the full one though, as for instance I now have a Gnome logo instead of the Ubuntu logo next to the Applications menu. I like the Gnome logo, mind you - but is this a hint somehow that my Gutsy upgrade isn't total? [09:18] rothchild, compiz fusion has this option. gusty has it built in [09:18] Can anybody help me out with my ATI videocard and ubuntu 7.10? Please msg me if you can, thanks. [09:18] zyxnull: yeah, i know. i just have a wierd thing for "defaults" [09:19] gkwong, Have you tried Restricted Manager? [09:19] jacquesmerde: In fact, i agree with you, i felt not having enabled the sources as a fault [09:19] MrEgg964, the dev recommends that you do a clean install because of this [09:19] yes i have === Dyus is now known as Dyus-sleep [09:19] that's what is giving me the problem [09:19] wasabi yes all up to date I know it has the option but I can't find the right switch [09:19] !error | gkwong [09:19] gkwong: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [09:19] hi everyone is it possible to know if we have PCIe 1.0 or PCIe 1.1 ? [09:19] I made a post on the forums, if you care to look: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=582761 [09:20] !pastebin [09:20] 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) [09:20] rothchild, perhaps you should install the compiz tray icon. it has the option to use metacity [09:20] wasabi_: the thing is, I have video issues if I boot directly from the 7.10 cd - which is apparently why my upgrade was stopped in the middle of the process. === Dyus-sleep is now known as Dyus [09:20] <[chr0n0s]> hey, anyone using xubuntu here ??

[09:21] gkwong, Try running "sudo apt-get -f install" [09:21] MrEgg964, ah i see. sorry i can't help out anymore. [09:21] Jordan: i did, it doesnt download anything, says everything is updated iirc [09:21] ckw_ : YES! in fact, go to the AMD/ATI site, they perform better with compiz than those shipped with 7.10 [09:22] !fuse [09:22] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems [09:22] gkwong, Can you install other packages? [09:22] gkwong: My recomendation: Follow this guide http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [09:22] dag allemaal [09:22] rothchild, maybe try running compiz like this "compiz --replace" [09:22] !ntfs-3g [09:22] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [09:22] is this thing going to stay tuff as hell to work on the network interface side of the machine??? [09:22] zyxnull: i'm sure its a bug. i mean, lots of people install without a net connection, and if they do the lose the easy restricted drivers codecs enabling. coz they have to magically know about sources [09:22] jordan: i installed a security update, is that a package? [09:22] rothchild, that runs compiz with metacity as default decorator [09:22] gkwong, Yes [09:22] wasabi_: I'm looking for a way to force a check on my upgrade manually, and clean the system at the end of the process. Any idea? [09:23] has the pidgin plugin bug been fixed? [09:23] Jordan: then yeah, in that case, i can install packages [09:23] hey all. which package do i need to have the encrption in my settings menue ??? [09:23] zyxnull: have they addressed the suspend to ram bug yet? [09:23] zyxnull:I thought thats what you guys were talkin about...i will try them...i am trying to get my desktop to extend to the second display on an ATI AIW 9600...perhaps i will have better luck with the newer drivers...on my way to the site now...thanks!

[09:25] ndan: have you tried flash mx with wine? [09:25] zyxnull:BTW...I don't need to run Compiz to simply extend to the other monitor, do I? [09:25] dga: Nope. let me try it again [09:25] ckw__, No [09:25] Has anyone else problems with CPU usage in 7.10? Mine is between 50-75% and i only got sys monitor,gnome, gmail notify and pidgin running [09:25] naa i was thinking of it, i see its compatible now, but i was kinda hopin to find a linux based editor [09:26] question about ntfsfix [09:26] jordan: ok, i'll just do that then, thanks. one more thing, it takes my ubuntu about 3-5 minutes to boot, XP only takes 1, is that normal? [09:26] dga: There is a comment about dead suspend here http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide [09:26] um... how do i use it? [09:26] Jordan_U:thank you [09:26] Jordan_U, well gparted thinks the drive is unpartitioned [09:26] ntfsfix /media/sda1 doesn't seem to work [09:26] can i download progs onto a usb drive and then install them in ubuntu? (cant seem to get my wifi working on the laptop, but i want to get some things installed still) [09:26] I upgraded to gutsy, on a dell Inspiron E1505N (that came preinstalled with linux), and I seem to have lost my wireless. [09:26] should it the ntfs partition be mounted? [09:26] wasabi_: I just did that, and it went through; if that's all there is to it, then I guess I'm done and ready to go. I just find it kind of strange I don't have my Ubuntu logo, I don't have my Fast User Change and Desktop Search by default... [09:26] it also seems to have changed drivers in restricted driver manager? [09:27] anyone know how to get suspend/resume working for wireless cards? [09:27] dan yea... i just did that with a few apps.... [09:27] gkwong, Not that long of a discrepancy usually but yes, Linux isn't optimized for fast boots as much as windows ( though you don't need to boot nearly as much :) [09:27] ndan: thanks, wanted to make sure before i get started! [09:27] Jordan, haha, ok. Thanks! [09:27] DanMulvey: i think if u check off only download packages in synaptic u can move em where u like once their downloaded [09:27] MrEgg964, you have to add the those to the task bar === Blade is now known as ElBlado [09:28] mine was still formated as fat32 too, and that didn't hurt nething (tho i wasn't executing them FROM the travel drive, i copied to hd first) [09:28] MrEgg964, if you're missing the ubuntu logo, then you can just reinstall it [09:28] DanMulvey, You can use synaptic to make a package download script [09:28] MrEgg964, are you referring to the splash? cause that has been disabled [09:29] how do i find out what processes are using a file? [09:29] jordan_u: actually, i need to download them in windows and then transfer them to my ubuntu machine because it has no net connection [09:29] racarter, lsof | grep /path/to/file [09:29] wasabi_: yeah, sure, I can fix those small issues manually; what I'm wondering though is, is this a hint my Gutsy isn't completely installed? [09:30] I've sucessfully upgraded through the whole alpha cycle of gutsy. I finally upgraded to gutsy offical a few days ago. When I now try to "get updates" in adept, I see the "versionupgrade" button. When I enter it, it fails after I press ok for the packages not anymore supported. It says no need to upgrade and it cancels and change back. [09:30] Has anyone else problems with CPU usage in 7.10? Mine is between 50-75% and i only got sys monitor,gnome, gmail notify and pidgin running [09:30] MrEgg964, no. most likely it was using your old settings. since you're doing an upgrade. [09:30] dga: You're right, there seems to be a problem with suspend [09:30] PriitM, i have issues with CPU usage [09:31] i have no idea why, i think it has to do with my kernel though [09:31] zyxnull: unfortunately :( [09:31] DanMulvey, The download script is just "wget " a bunch of times, it could just as easily be used as a batch file if you install wget on windows, or you could use sed to just grab the URLs out of it [09:31] ohh awesome, thanks a ton...just learning all this stuff [09:31] dga: Well, at least this driver is a LOT better than its successors [09:31] I need a little bit of help with the Compiz Application switcher, the Bring to Front pref isn't working. Can anyone help? [09:32] wasabi_: That would make sense, too. Now, what about my third party repos? They were all set to point to feisty. They've been disabled prior to the upgrade. Am I just supposed to manually replace feisty by gutsy and re-enable them, or is there a little more than that to it? [09:32] I get "Authenticating the upgrade failed...:" when starting the Gutsy upgrade, can someone please help [09:32] zyxnull: which version of the driver are you using? [09:32] HELLO does gutsy live cd knows to upgrade a feisty?

[09:34] How do I enable bitmap terminal fonts in gutsy? ie. xfonts-artwiz. [09:34] lousygarua, sorry, that's a no you need the alternate. [09:34] wasabi_: I'll try that. Thanks again for your help.

[10:03] pacifact if its already auto mount /media/sda1 [10:03] eth1 mode Monitor.. is this just a case of reverse engineered drivers not working perfectly?

[10:05] just curious, I'm having problems trouble shooting a driver installation [10:05] and I'd just like a translation [10:05] DanMulvey, first thing to try is temporarily (!) turn off all security on the router, run full open. See if you can connect from the ubuntu laptop then. [10:06] msikma: i guess in my case it has something to do with the nvidia driver [10:06] anyone familiar with the newest drivers from the ATI site?

If so, do i need to install any other software [10:46] xipietotec, are you sure that is the correct module, it COULD have a _cs after it [10:46] Sorry I thought that was Synaptic in my mind, I meant the update manager [10:46] albus_Dumbledore: yes it does, it is called iptables === murlidhar_ is now known as murlidhar === dox is now known as vdox [10:46] hm [10:46] albus_bumbledor install firestarter === dox_ is now known as dox [10:46] anolis, I found a bug in launchpad, that describes my problem, trying to replicate [10:46] stephanecharette: tell me about your system [10:47] or not [10:47] xipietotec, oh good maybe it will be fixed [10:47] Can Pidgin run in Ubuntu?

I'm new to Xubuntu [11:24] cybbah: are you sure you have the right priviliges [11:24] and Ubuntu too, for that matter [11:24] rob: thanks alot, seems to be loading fine [11:24] ZenAttitude : http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html [11:24] dromer: could you pastebin the output of 'mount' [11:24] gabbarinho: If all else fails, you should resort to text based installer, the alternate CD method. [11:24] janerik: install xserver-xorg-video-intel if it isn't already, and then change Driver "i810" to Driver "intel" [11:24] remus: for audio? [11:24] gharz: paste your /etc/networking/interfaces [11:25] cwillu, is it possible to restore the 'DMI BIOS year' on my mobo? [11:25] ch40s, awesome :D [11:25] cybbash: yes [11:25] cybbah: yes [11:25] chowmeined: no, I could startx using sudo, so I'm in gnome atm (I have both gnome and kde installed, but I normally use kde) [11:25] Thanks a bunch Oshiii [11:25] Anyone tell me what the nm-applet line in System -> Preferences -> Session -> Startup Programs is? I lost it. It's a quick find, anyone? [11:25] thingummywut: xubuntu, I'm not sure; under ubuntu, you just set the monitor in the control panel [11:25] remus: what privileges? [11:25] You're welcome [11:25] dromer: /etc/init.d/kdm restart doesnt help? [11:25] cwillu: sorry to ask such a lame questions, but in which settings? [11:25] mechdave: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41313/ [11:25] Can I activate the desktop effects without restarting my system on a live CD after installing some restricted drivers (ATI)? [11:25] synaptics? [11:26] spnz: in synaptic [11:26] spnz: settings | repositories [11:26] chowmeined: nope, one of the major problems is my /home and another partition can't get mounted [11:26] k [11:26] chowmeined: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41314/ [11:26] denis`da: if it needed a new driver, not really [11:26] cwillu, is it possible to insert the 'DMI BIOS year' on my mobo? [11:26] is it possible to have the trashcan on the desktop? [11:26] (gnome) [11:26] denis`da: you can just restart x, but that gonna close everything [11:26] Tigerman: no idea, sorry [11:26] sorry, lavender, getting a bit overwhelmed by the deluge of text :) [11:27] :p [11:27] cousin_luigi, yes [11:27] fyrestrtr: how? [11:27] cousin_luigi, run gconf-editor [11:27] cwillu: yeah I restarted X but I can't activate the desktop effects. [11:27] cwillu: I will try to do tha, will come back if I do not get it right. Thank you sooooo much... I also have another problem with my wireless after upgradin. It shows all the awaylible networks, but not the signal strenght. And when I try to connect to my router the computer hangs [11:27] cwillu, how can i disable the tooltips i get when hovering over an item in my Window List ? [11:27] cousin_luigi, it is one of the options for nautilus. [11:27] dromer: can you pastebin the output of 'mount /home' [11:27] denis`da: it may not work on the live cd if you need to install stuff, not sure [11:27] yeah seems so [11:27] chowmeined: mount: /dev/hda5 already mounted or /home busy [11:28] and it's most definetly not mounted [11:28] what is the command to install qt libs [11:28] dromer: you have evms and friends installed [11:28] fyrestrtr: thanks! [11:28] !Qtlibs [11:28] cybbah: does the audio work when you login as root? if so... you probably need the right priviliges to access audio devices [11:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about qtlibs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:28] anyone good with spreadsheets? [11:28] Has ati driver 8.42 arrived yet? [11:28] cwillu: don't know [11:28] dromer: uninstall evms, dmsetup, dmraid, and mdadm (presuming you're not using a raid) [11:28] !info QT libs [11:28] Package qt does not exist in gutsy [11:28] mcscruff, my accountant [11:28] !info libqt [11:28] Package libqt does not exist in gutsy [11:28] guys, where in gconf-editor can i disable the tooltips i get when hovering over an item in my Window List ? [11:28] cwillu: ok, I've already tried purging mdadm (not using raid), and that didn't work, what are the other packages? [11:29] dromer: run udevmonitor and tell me if you get a bunch of add/removes happening continuously [11:29] control-alt-backspace is dangerous... it should warn you before just killing your login session [11:29] Any news of 8.42 ati guys? [11:29] cwillu: not any events that I can see [11:29] dromer: evms, dmraid, mdadm [11:29] is it possible to cheat ISP and use more bandwidth in wired net connection [11:29] dmsetup [11:29] so i can't install qt libs???? [11:29] cwillu: I have the xserver-xorg-vide-intell installed.... [11:29] cwillu: how can I best remove them? apt-get remove --purge? [11:29] hmm [11:29] ksivaji: um, illegal stuff, we don't want to hear about [11:29] nesoi: ctrl-alt-backspace kills the X server instantly. If you dont want that, dont use it [11:30] lavender, this seems to be a way to check the iso and not the CD [11:30] janerik: okay, then just change xorg.conf [11:30] dromer: I'd just do it from synaptic [11:30] nesoi: its an escape method [11:30] dromer: but just a plain apt-get remove would work [11:30] ok [11:30] mechdave: in my /etc/network/interfaces there's no eth1... eth1 is my wireless network. [11:30] nesoi: if it warns you.. and your mouse doesnt move... [11:30] if the iso is corrupt, then I would assume burning it at 1x speed woudl not make a difference [11:30] gabbarinho: correct [11:30] dromer: purge just removes config settings as well, which won't break anything, but also won't help anything [11:30] anyone knows how to disable XGL? [11:30] nesoi: It is used ONLY in the event of a serious crash [11:30] gabbarinho: you verified it against the MD5SUM? [11:30] Terrasque: killing your session and losing all your data with any keystroke with no warning is not User Friendly [11:30] cwillu: I'm just 4 months user of ubuntu:-) can you tell me how to... Thank you very much so long:-) [11:30] i am not sure what that means, chow [11:30] janerik: :p [11:31] ie: not ready for users who don't know what they're doing, which is part of the point of unbuntu, I thought [11:31] cwillu: only evms evms-ncurses are being removed [11:31] cwillu will you hangon to 128kb/s [11:31] nesoi: How the hell does one *accidentially* simulataniously press three buttons that are physically separated from each other? [11:31] i am struggling a bit to make sense of the instructions [11:31] cwillu: mdadm was already gone :) [11:31] gabbarinho: ok [11:31] janerik: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, look for Driver "i810", change i810 to intel, and restart x [11:31] gabbarinho: you ran the check cd for defects? [11:31] dromer: evms will do it [11:31] yep [11:31] i don't thinkt here is a problem with it [11:31] gabbarinho: did it pass? [11:31] dromer: it grabs the devices so you can't mount them [11:31] yes, it did [11:31] cwillu: thank you so much. [11:31] cwillu: ok, well, hope it works :) [11:32] does ubuntu 7.10 come with 2.6.23? [11:32] janerik: thank me when it works :p [11:32] gharz: just one second, just uploading changes to your file... [11:32] gabbarinho: then it isnt corrupt [11:32] cwillu: updateing initramfs ... [11:32] gabbarinho: what is happening? [11:32] mechdave: alrighty,.. [11:32] sudoer: don't believe so, although you can run a 2.6.23 kernel if you compile it (modulo issues with restricted kernel modules) [11:32] well, I select installation, and things begin to load [11:32] Tigerman: Try adding acpi=force into the boot options for ubuntu in your /boot/grub/menu.lst like grub was suggesting at boot. [11:32] the bar starts moving [11:32] dromer: you might need to restart as well, not sure if you can rmmod the appropriate things live [11:32] then about 20 seconds later, it hangs [11:32] cwillu: ok, reboot? [11:32] that's it [11:32] dromer: yep [11:32] cwillu: I will :) [11:32] well [11:32] brb [11:32] dromer: you could try it first [11:33] Arafangion: control-backspace deletes a word... control and alt are next to each other (on my keyboard) ... is it that big a stretch to think that someone will accidentally hit both control and alt when they mean to hit alt, and then touch backspace? [11:33] I don't think so. [11:33] but otherwise, reboot [11:33] nesoi: I've done that :p [11:33] sku: did that fix your problems? [11:33] can anyone recommend a powerful graphical text editor [11:33] nesoi: ctrl+alt+backspace has been around a long time though.... [11:33] racarter: gvim [11:33] cwillu: thanks. [11:33] nesoi: there's an option to disable it in xorg.conf, which I thought they made the default (are you running an upgrade or fresh install) [11:33] racarter: kate [11:33] cwillu: try what? [11:33] chowmeined: legacy doesn't imply goodness [11:33] dromer: mounting [11:33] besides vi or emacs [11:33] chowmeined: that's nice, but if ubuntu is supposed to be a general replacement for consumer desktops, having that keystroke in it is Bad [11:33] cwillu: but its useful... [11:33] gharz: try this --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41315/ [11:34] racarter: kate is awesome [11:34] racarter: _especially_ vi and emacs [11:34] wow, all this time I didn't know that control+delete deletes a word [11:34] mechdave: ok. [11:34] cwillu: upgrade from the beta version of gutsy [11:34] chowmeined: so is dynamite. [11:34] <_blitz_> how do i tell whether my bluetooth dongle is detected? [11:34] nesoi: well... id rather have it.. when buggy gui apps decide to lock everything up [11:34] cwillu: again I get: mount: /dev/hda5 already mounted or /home/ busy [11:34] chowmeined: there's a reason the power button doesn't do a hard power off anymore [11:34] /msg ubotu mirrors [11:34] dromer: k, reboot then [11:34] chowmeined: if it can be enabled specifically by those who want it, fine. if it's a default, Bad [11:34] ok also i dont really like the command line in gnome.. is there any alternatives [11:34] _blitz_: try hcitool in a terminal [11:34] nesoi: fine [11:34] cwillu: ok, bbl [11:35] chowmeined: there's another keystroke to disable grabs, and ctrl+alt+f1 should be just as effective without actually killing stuff [11:35] Hello all... i needed Help :) [11:35] i have an acer 5720 with an intel audio device but my audio don't work with gutsy ... can you help me plssss [11:35] Will LinuX installering Dont working for MS Virtual PC 2007? [11:35] do you have any idea what's going on with my installation, chow? [11:35] nesoi: guess we should disable alt+sysctrl then... [11:35] <_blitz_> ok.lsusb produced a positive result.wil that be enough? [11:35] if i have fedora 7 installed and i want to upgrade to ubuntu 7.10 can i do it without lose data in simple way? [11:35] gharz: then restart your network --> /etc/init.d/networking restart [11:35] gabbarinho: im sorry, i haven't run into that.. im not sure [11:35] i liked the xubuntu command line [11:35] chowmeined: what does that do? [11:35] mechdave: ok. [11:35] racarter: look up 'term' in synaptic, there's at least a dozen [11:35] nesoi: does special debug stuff by directly interfacing with the kernel [11:35] sudoer: back up your home directory, and any other directories that might have stuff you need [11:36] nesoi: for example.. alt+sysctrl+b instantly reboots your computer (unsafe shutdown) [11:36] chowmeined: yep, that should be enabled only when wanted, by developers and the like [11:36] guys, where in gconf-editor can i disable the tooltips i get when hovering the mouse pointer over an item in the Window List ? [11:36] racarter: you can install it, I'm just not sure what its called [11:36] hoiii === Kee1 is now known as Keef_ [11:36] chowmeined: just think about your grandmother using it... she hits the wrong keys and bang... all her work is gone [11:36] chowmeined: sysctrl = print-screen/sysrq ? [11:36] hello [11:36] how are you? [11:36] dystopianray: sysrq is what i meant [11:37] apologies [11:37] sudoer, I would burn my data to disk first then do a clean install but I am no expert as you can tell by my response [11:37] nesoi: not to argue against the point, but do you really think your grandmother is gonna be using three key keyboard shortcuts? [11:37] nesoi: mine has trouble with 'shift' :p [11:37] <_blitz_> i tried to install openobex but failed.i can give you the config.log file.can somebody please help me with it? [11:37] its enough trouble getting them to right click... [11:37] cwillu: no, but she could hit some random keys by mistake or when trying to do something else [11:38] chowmeined: I have more trouble getting people to left click for some reason [11:38] i have disabled the global panel tooltips, but they don't seem to disable the Window List and other tooltips, like Show Desktop Button tooltips and stuff... [11:38] please help [11:38] Guys my audio don't work i had follow the wikies but don't work :( can you help me ... my audio device is an intel hda in a laptop acer 5720 [11:38] _blitz_: What are you trying to achieve with bluetooth? [11:38] does anyone use opera? [11:38] the point is, crashing and losing your work potentially by mistake is Bad if it's really a consumer desktop [11:38] racarter yes [11:38] Hi, the "screens and graphics" manager thingie doesnt seem to want to start. Anyone know the appname so i can see the error messages? [11:38] nesoi: windows should disable blue screens [11:38] <_blitz_> connect to internet with my nokia phone [11:38] chowmeined: lol [11:38] yes you use it or yes you think there is someone in the world actually using it [11:38] _blitz_: That's nothing. [11:39] chowmeined: blue screens are a fatal error, obviously not the same thing at all [11:39] nesoi: you inadvertantly pressed ctrl+alt+backspace? [11:39] nesoi: except, you can design a system that never crashes [11:39] okei.. ran into another problem..Compiler version check failed. g++ 3.4 or later is needed [11:39] nesoi: not the fatal kernel error kind at least [11:39] <_blitz_> why its nothing? i am a newbie.its something for me [11:39] how to get newer version ?;/ [11:39] nesoi: so why not just do it? [11:39] dystopianray: no, I did it as part of instructions for getting the front and back mouse buttons to work... it didn't say it was going to lose my session [11:39] _blitz_: right first make sure your dongle works.. open a terminal and type sudo hcitool [11:39] dystopianray: I've done it [11:39] nesoi: I never realised that ctrl+backspace deletes a word. Must be a windows-ism. [11:39] <_blitz_> ok [11:40] Arafangion: it is [11:40] <_blitz_> now i am in xp [11:40] dw deletes a word [11:40] I suppose all my processes are children of x, so they go away if x reboots, but I didn't think of that [11:40] see.. dw == delete word [11:40] that makes sense [11:40] and neither would grandma [11:40] <_blitz_> but when i was in ubuntu a lsusb produced a positive result [11:40] ctrl+w in insert [11:40] combinio, dw as in ^W? [11:40] _blitz_: can you access the internet from ubuntu? [11:40] hi does anyone knows why after upgrading to 7.10 ./configures cant find anything on include ? [11:40] nanonyme: dw is a vi command [11:40] <_blitz_> no [11:40] is there any graphical utility in linux to do text compare? [11:40] chowmeined: because the arrow keys are obviously misleading :p [11:40] ahm [11:40] cwillu: i like hjkl better... [11:40] racarter: I use vbindiff, but it's terminal mode [11:41] na i am looking for graphical.. [11:41] actually it wrote: CXX env variable is not set, attempting to use g++ [11:41] MaDiNfO_: install build-essential? [11:41] I uninstalled evolution. If I install the desktop-base package will I be able to upgrade? [11:41] racarter: ignore what I said, I misread [11:41] nanonyme: ummm... what ? :) [11:41] so as far as I understand, i need to set CXX [11:41] combinio, i had no idea what dw was [11:41] i want some "lightweight" all purpose graphical text editor actually [11:41] which doesn't ring a bell to me ;/ [11:41] racarter: search synaptic for something with diff and gnome in the name [11:41] racarter: gdiff might be something, taking a stab in the dark [11:42] _blitz_: Ok this is how you basically do it... make sure your dongle works, make sure you can connect to your phone as dial up networking [11:42] here we go [11:42] nanonyme: and what DW is ? :] i've never asked about this 'dw' :P [11:42] showmeined: its instaled [11:42] cwillu: nah.. i got it [11:42] racarter: http://meld.sourceforge.net/ [11:42] cwillu: hi again. The only change is tha the screen looks different. But all the appz still working slow [11:42] i'll look but even still i think ill be using two programs [11:42] chowmeined: is instaled [11:42] one for editing, one for comparing [11:42] janerik: k, run the glxinfo line again, and tell me if direct rendering is yes or no [11:42] !desktop-base [11:42] combinio, ah, tab completion error [11:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about desktop-base - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:42] MaDiNfO_: im not sure then... [11:42] okay, thanks and bye all [11:42] nanonyme: ok ;] [11:43] _blitz_: maybe a good idea to have a google around, as this subject has ots of info available on it :) [11:43] any one know why am i getting this? Unable to exec gcc.real: No such file or directory [11:43] anyone feel like helping me out with a gutsy internet probelm? it says connected but firefox wont load pages [11:43] abhibera: is build-essential installed? [11:43] yes [11:43] cwillu: yes [11:43] cwillu: direct rendering is NO [11:44] janerik: :/ [11:44] Cochise: Are you on the same computer with the issue and using Ubuntu? [11:44] it says 7.04 is supported until 2008, if i keep doing apt-get upgrade until then, it will keep me on 7.04 right? just dist-upgrade will take me to gutsy ? [11:44] When trying to compile: CXX env variable is not set, attempting to use g++ Checking for g++ >= 3.4...No C++ compiler found! (cached) no Compiler version check failed. g++ 3.4 or later is needed [11:44] xjkx: yes [11:44] xjkx: correct [11:44] lavender_dream: nope on the same pc in windozes [11:44] xjkx: no :p [11:44] how to get that g++ [11:44] ? [11:44] gharz: any good news yet? [11:44] yes, correct, no... ? [11:44] So hm. Why is my system permanently using xorg.conf.failsafe? [11:44] cwillu: w00t \o/ it worked :D [11:44] xjkx: dist-upgrade isn't what it sounds like; only update-manager will upgrade to gutsy; dist-upgrade wont [11:44] only problem now is thunderbird gave an error :S [11:45] xjkx, no [11:45] cwillu: any Idea what it can be??? It worked great before upgrading:-( [11:45] spnz: try apt-get install build-essential [11:45] cwillu: why not? [11:45] mechdave: thanks [11:45] 'Could not find 'mozilla-thunderbird' executable.' [11:45] janerik: you might need a videoram line in xorg.conf [11:45] spnz: no worries [11:45] chowmeined: dist-upgrade? [11:45] anyway, apt-get upgrade won't take me to gutsy, right? this is the most important at all [11:45] cwillu: yes [11:45] Cochise: To see whether it's a Firefox issue or your networking issue in Ubuntu, I'd check out Firefox preferences, Edit > Advanced > Network tab, and settings. [11:45] chowmeined: dist-upgrade is just a smart package install, it doesn't actually change the repositories [11:45] Is anyone familiar with a malfunctioning 'screens and graphics' ? It doesnt want to start. Running "displayconfig-gtk" directly also gives interesting errors. [11:46] after gutsy upgrade [11:46] chowmeined: it'll remove packages if necessary, but it won't ever look at the gutsy repo's [11:46] Hello. I have been trying to make a PRO-NETS DM100A digital TV receiver work on Ubuntu 7.10 in my notebook, without success. I don't know which module (if there is one that would work) should I load nor which parameters should I use. The card' specifications can be found at http://www.pro-nets.com/eng/product.php?mode=show&cid=109&pid=143 , and my lspci output at http://pastebin.com/d2d803c33 . Thanks for you time and work. [11:46] xjkx: yes [11:46] cwillu: right.. but if you change the sources.list then do dist-upgrade.. it works like normal yes? [11:46] xjkx, apt-get update then when that finish do apt-get dist-upgrade and you will stay with feisty until you wish to change [11:46] chowmeined: well, kinda [11:46] cwillu: excellent [11:46] lavender_dream: i tried enabling ipv6 in firefox and it didnt help, when i type ethtool eth0 it says unknown interface [11:46] chowmeined: the usual manual approach is to change the sources.list, dist-upgrade, then dpkg-reconfigure -all -phigh, and then dist-upgrade again, and then dpkg-reconfigure again, until dist-upgrade doesn't do anything anymore [11:46] Anyone tell me what the nm-applet line in System -> Preferences -> Session -> Startup Programs is? I lost it. It's a quick find, anyone? [11:46] lavender_dream: irc through pidgin wont work either so its a network issue id say [11:47] uhmm, so everybody is agreeing that just update-manager gets me to gutsy ;) i'm feeling safer now :) what is it, apt-get update-manager or just update-manager ? [11:47] chowmeined: the upgrade tool consists of workarounds for all the things that don't upgrade properly unless you do it in a particular fashion, or with the method I outlined [11:47] cwillu: ok [11:47] xjkx: yes === gebruiker is now known as bartjee [11:47] cwillu: you think that will help? is the 7.1 so different? And how will i do that?:-) [11:47] nox-Hand: "nm-applet --sm-disable" [11:47] xjkx: you should install via the commandline, most people seemto have sucess with that [11:47] xjkx: apt-get won't ever upgrade to gutsy unless you change /etc/apt/sources.list by hand [11:47] Cochise: oh doh, I'm sorry to hear that, perhaps someone more knowledgable than me can help you with networking issue, I'm using a direct connection so it's hard for me to say myself having only used Ubuntu for about a month. [11:48] Hi, I just bought a USB to Parallel Port cable to connect my old printer to my computer, but apparently CUPS can't find the printer at all, any hints on how to solve this? [11:48] janerik: honestly I'm not dead sure; hard to say without knowing what your config was pre-gutsy [11:48] somebody please help me compile a qtella application!!!!!! [11:48] !network [11:48] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [11:48] xlkx, update manager is a graphic on your desktop system/admin/update manager [11:48] ah, then what the hell dist-upgrade is used for ?? [11:48] hello. i think there is a problem with open office 2.3 in gutsy. when i open a document with calc and close it, calc crashes and after confirming the crash writer is started. can someone confirm this? [11:48] ANYONE KNOW WHY MY GCC IS NOT WORKING? [11:48] janerik: you restarted x, right? [11:48] <[chr0n0s]]> anyone knows a application for multiple clocks in xfce ?

[11:56] there is something called "trackerd" running in the processes list.... its constantly taking up 50% or more of my CPU power!!!! What is it and why is it SO darn hungry??? [11:56] xlkx, by then you will want a different version iIguess [11:56] let's guess gutsy has kde version x.x, then feitsy will always have kde version x.x -1 ? or being on gutsy/feitsy doesn't affect the packages themselves in versions ? [11:57] where exactly do i have to add the acpi=force line? [11:57] cwillu: do u how to install qt libs ?

[11:58] zetheroo: yes, I think it can be disabled, but im on kubuntu, so i'm not sure how it works in GNOME [11:58] Sorry for asking again but I just bought a USB to Parallel Port cable to connect my old printer to my computer, but apparently CUPS can't find the printer at all, any hints on how to solve this? [11:58] gharz: and you are still connected with wireless? [11:58] I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 [11:58] the live CD isn't working for me, but I don't have enough experience with the console to be able to use it [11:58] mechdave: yes... i am.

All its running really slow [12:11] dystopianray: df -h [12:11] mechdave: user memory is 58.7% used swap 0% [12:11] dystopianray: it shows: /dev/sda1 19G 173M 18G 1% /media/sda1 === Mba7eth is now known as FFAw [12:12] hi [12:12] spnz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=linuxdcpp&searchon=names&subword=1&version=gutsy&release=all === arun_ is now known as arunkale [12:12] dystopianray: although there was a 20GB partition in there before [12:12] rom: hi [12:12] kadakas: redo the partition table [12:12] will anyone suggest a nice Ubuntu Gutsy PC? [12:12] what h/w? [12:12] cwillu: thank you, tryin that [12:12] spnz: you can download the package from there [12:12] can someone copy me /etc/apt/sources.list from a clean install of gutsy please [12:12] zhanx, but i think its a kernel problem, cause the normal kernel on feisty doesn't running too. only the kernel 2.6.17-10 is running [12:12] gharz: try removing auto eth1 in /etc/networking/interfaces [12:12] i have a budget of max $1000 [12:12] (I used the beta, and I think the sources.list has not been updated) [12:12] with monitor [12:13] mechdave: ok. [12:13] abhibera: DELL XPS ubuntu machine [12:13] abhibera, wait and buy a dell the you can get it pre loaded [12:13] Cochise: try this --> http://pastebin.com/d42230902 [12:13] abhibera: I'm just bought a bunch of acer aspire 3690's, they all work fine with effects and wireless (ndiswrapper) [12:13] Guys, I guess the wireless problems are a kernel problem, 'cause in 2.6.20-16-generic it works perfect. [12:13] abhibera: 670 including taxes [12:13] shosholoza, if its a kernel then its beyond me [12:13] yea, but I'm using feisty fawn [12:13] maybe that's the case [12:13] cwillu: i'm looking at desktop [12:13] cwillu: and CUSTOM MADE [12:13] cwillu: no DELL and COMPAQ and ACER [12:13] mechdave: hopefully ill tell you it worked from gutsy, talk to ya in 5 either way [12:14] abhibera: just find a good local supplier [12:14] abhibera: then look on newegg [12:14] what config should i take? [12:14] I use Gutsy. I have selected "manual configuration" in the network manager, and I am connected to a wireless network. But now, instead of the connection-quality bars, a computer screen appears in the panel. But in this way, I can't see the quality of the wireless connection. [12:14] abhibera: I LIKE TO SCREAM TOO [12:14] Is there a way I can see it? [12:14] abhibera, tigerdirect, newegg, pricewatch [12:14] abhibera: and please get over your capslock addiction :p [12:14] Cochise: No worries [12:14] nosrednaekim: what config should i take? [12:14] I mean, the percentage of the connectivity (how good or bad is the wireless signal caught). [12:15] im trying to search for something on the ubuntu forums, how do i make it search for ALL keywords and not just some? [12:15] abhibera: I'd strongly suggest finding a good local supplier; it's hard to beat local service; I'd expect you can get a good machine for 5-800, and an lcd for another 150-200 [12:15] abhibera: IDK, just don't get anything with an ATI, [12:15] nosrednaekim: Core2Duo. 2GB RAM, 200GB SATA, What Graphics? [12:15] remix5x: just google, with the site:ubuntuforums.org or whichever [12:15] zhanx, you mean also it have to work with the alt [12:15] abhibera: nvidia [12:15] I'm trying to learn ruby, and while i'm trying to include ruby gems, (curb specifically) it claims it can't find it after I install it. (sudo gem install curb). I can see the files in /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/. Am I doing it wrong? Or does something need to be linked for it to read the gems [12:15] cwillu: maybe the problem is due my usage of feisty fawn?\ [12:15] hi.. i want to use the dictionary applet in ubuntu. where can I find a french dictionary source? [12:15] 7.10 is not seeing my psp :( [12:15] Ind[y]: I have the same problem [12:16] squee: #ruby [12:16] nosrednaekim: any particular model? i don't game too much. i'm more a dev. i just want everything working when i put in gutsy. [12:16] shosholoza, i tried the live cd first and it didnt work on my laptop it kept rebooting.. no clue why i just switched to the alt and it worked fine [12:16] nosrednaekim: i want desktop effects :) [12:16] spnz: ah, sorry; I thought you said you were running gutsy [12:16] spnz: ya, that'll do it [12:16] abhibera: the cheapest then ;) or you could just go with an integrated nvidia [12:16] Hello there [12:17] abhibera: integrated intel works pretty well these days [12:17] cwillu: even 950 GMA? [12:17] Howdy all [12:17] zhanx, but i tried it with the feisty alt, but in the same moment the notebook was rebooting [12:17] ne 1 here to help me ? [12:17] Is there any way to make the system go back to an earlier date_ [12:17] mechdave: thanks for the help!!! got to go... i'll check again my connection later. [12:17] cwillu: i'm running Beryl on a 950 GMA. it's a little sluggish at times [12:17] abhibera: modulo random things not supported well by intel driver :p [12:17] pidgin not working... waiting for network connection. [12:17] exit [12:17] Blou_Aap what is it you need?? [12:17] with pvpgn battlenet connetion for warcraft 3 thruoh the w3l.exe launcher ? [12:17] anyone got any info on usb storage? [12:18] abhibera, I can tell that there were no problems with my integrated intel 950.. I'm running compiz fusion and it works well [12:18] abhibera: on the other hand, the requirements for really good 3d desktop is about the same as respectable games performance [12:18] kondor101: What info [12:18] cwillu: ah.... but definitely not looking for integrated. i want a discrete graphics adapter [12:18] abhibera: why? [12:18] how do i change from kdm to gdm? [12:18] when trying to upgrade my current ubuntu installation (7.04, ubuntu studio) to 7.10, I get the following message: Failed to fetch http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/dists/dapper/Release Unable to find expected entry restricted/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [12:18] cwillu: not quite. the desktop just displays simple rectangles. there aren't too many triangles to be bothered about like a game [12:19] pipatron, i used to use 7.04 in 7.04 if i connected my PSP it came up just like an ipod, now it just isn't seeing it on 7.10 [12:19] abhibera: the desktop does alot of heavy texture processing [12:19] I'm getting this message when trying to upgrade from Ubuntu Studio 7.04 to Ubuntu 7.10: Failed to fetch http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/dists/dapper/Release Unable to find expected entry restricted/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?) [12:19] abelabel, try changing your sources location [12:19] I'm running a 3D desktop on my Thinkpad X40 with a slow integrated intel card [12:19] It's definately fast enough [12:19] cwillu: yea but games do a lot more than that. :) [12:19] zhankx: could you expand on that? [12:19] <[chr0n0s]> nosrednaekim, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41323/ [12:19] zhanx, i will tried it with the gutsy cd, if it doesn't work, do you have an idea, what can i do than [12:19] Trying to play GTA3 in even the lowest resolution - doesn't work. [12:19] anyone got a psp handy and 7.10 ? [12:19] abelabel: slow down, I wasn't even halfway through writing a resopnse [12:20] (sorry for posting twice) [12:20] abelabel, system - admin - software sources - download from [12:20] abelabel: remove the entry about dapper [12:20] OK, so the upgrade failed when installing the packages. The result: Ubuntu thinks it's 7.10, but I'm nore sure it really is. What do I do now? [12:20] shosholoza, reformat - backup first [12:20] abhibera: depends on the game, but none the less, the texture mapping is something that is noticable better on better cards [12:21] It would be so awesome and would draw SO MANY people to linux if ubuntu could come preinstalled with wine and imports the windows registry from windows and allow you to use all pre-exisitng windows applications straight from the windows partition! [12:21] [chr0n0s]: "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl" [12:21] abhibera: on the other hand, it works fine on my integrated intel :p [12:21] zhanx, thank you [12:21] cwillu: yea... the antialiasing is better on a discrete graphics card. u don't see jaggies [12:21] I know its possible, and i'm quite frankly surprised that anyone hasn't though about it or done a readme on how to do it yet [12:21] cwillu: but it's not so bad on a integrated card [12:21] dystopianray: it worked! thx :) [12:21] pidgin: msn problem in Gutsy - waiting for network connection. [12:21] abhibera: that's not a function of the integration, it's a function of the chipset [12:22] I've looked for some help on how to restart the upgrade or at least make sure that it actually worked, even though it sais it failed, but nothing.... [12:22] cwillu: ye [12:22] a [12:22] remix5x: but do we want that? a free replacement for windows? shouldn;t people switch to linux on its own rights? Off topic too ;) [12:22] whats the difference between 'apt-get' and 'aptitude' VS synamptic? for example, command line utils dont show up under synaptic, but i can install them via apt-get... I thought they all use the same repositories? [12:22] no help at all? this is strange, usually your such helpful guys [12:22] remix5x, that would mean i have to have a windows install [12:22] any one know why terminal window goes all white when desk effects are enabled ? [12:22] Joel_vx: synaptic shows the same packages; applications add/remove uses a different list though [12:22] kondor101 what you need [12:23] remus something with a psp and gutsy [12:23] cwillu: thanks, i'll give it a look [12:23] nes [12:23] i have a psp, which 7.04, 6.06 etc see as a external storage, ie ipod, but 7.10 isnt seeing it [12:23] cwillu: got vmware server working allright, had to use 32bit libs though, im thinking maybe i made a mistake to go with amd64 arch... [12:23] kondor101: does udevmonitor show anything when you plug it in? [12:24] Hello, after thinking alot ... Before upgrading my ubuntu was feisty, now its Gutsy... Can that be my problem???? Beginner:-) === _etotheip is now known as etotheipi [12:24] hello [12:24] Joel_vx: ya, unless you need the 64bit support/performance, 32 bit is way easier to work with [12:24] cwillu: just built a new system so i wanted to make full use of it, hence running 64 bit [12:24] help ? [12:24] janerik: That's what it's supposed to do. [12:24] janerik: :p [12:24] what is the username of the root? is it root? i have tried to login as root but the username was not 'root'. what is it? [12:24] cwillu: the machine i built is primarily used to run virtual machines, [12:24] is this the right place to be to get help with configuring my ubuntu (splash screens etc.) ? [12:25] ok:-) thanks:-) haha [12:25] janerik: can you do a fresh reinstall? [12:25] Tigerman, you dont log in as root [12:25] janerik: thats just what happenes when you select manual config [12:25] and dynamips/dynagen so i wanted the best possible performance, still wasnt sure though [12:25] janerik: check if the gutsy live cd works fine re: acceleration [12:25] zhanx, I DON'T? [12:25] Tigerman: You can't log in as root, you have to use sudo [12:25] !root > Tigerman [12:25] Come on people! there must be a way to tell ubuntu to retry the upgrade? [12:25] Tigerman: you need to set a password if you want to login as root [12:25] Tigerman you cannot login as root by a default install of ubuntu [12:25] well, i am guessing udevmonitor is a terminal prog yes? [12:25] You get more than one try, right? :-) [12:25] Can someone help me enable the graphics driver in Restricted Drivers Manager? It does not work! [12:25] mechdave: no luck back in windoze again [12:25] Tigerman but the username is root [12:25] regebro: yes, but I'm too tired to help right now, sorry [12:25] regebro: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"? [12:25] * cwillu is actually, truly going to bed now :p [12:26] hi, can someone help me with desktop effects on a ati 9550?? [12:26] lol [12:26] cwillu, i am gu [12:26] nosrednaekim: OK, thanks trying that. [12:26] grrrr [12:26] lol [12:26] nosrednaekim: that doesn't upgrade to gutsy [12:26] cwillu: vista idling was using 1.2G of ram, ubuntu using a mere 390m :) good stuff [12:26] as i login with the username 'john'... is there any way to login as root? [12:26] ati 9550 O.o [12:26] goto #compiz-fusion for help [12:26] Cochise: Hmmm, you did as I said? That should work! [12:26] nosrednaekim: apt-get dist-upgrade has nothing to do with upgrading distro's, despite the name :p [12:26] Tigerman, > NO [12:26] Cochise: did you restart networking as well? [12:26] !root [12:26] cwillu: if h already started the upgrade it does [12:26] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:26] Joel_vx: and how much of that 1.2GB was disk cache? [12:26] Joel_vx: um === axel_ is now known as bfourdzero [12:26] mechdave: yup added the lines and rebooted the pc and still didnt work [12:26] is this the right place to be to get help with configuring my ubuntu (splash screens etc.) ? [12:26] wow, crowded here [12:26] Joel_vx: it's not that simple [12:26] i have tried to login as root with the username 'root' but that didn't work [12:26] Joel_vx: more disk cache is better [12:26] cwillu: I can do that, but all my emails, docs and so on I will have to save and put it in again.... Many ours of work:-) so if I can fix it without fresh install will be the best [12:26] udevmonitor - how to use this? do i just run in term? [12:26] Can someone help me enable the graphics driver in Restricted Drivers Manager? It does not work [12:27] cwillu: Oh. Too bad. But there is some way, right? [12:27] mechdave: after reboot i ran http://pastebin.com/d3351c81d [12:27] Tigerman, go here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [12:27] !doesn't work | Joikast1 [12:27] Joikast1: Doesn't work is a strong statement.

[12:28] cwillu: But sources list has been updated... [12:28] Can someone help me enable the graphics driver in Restricted Drivers Manager? It does not work..

I dont think my sound card is detected [12:28] Cochise: You got eth0 working! [12:28] cwillu udevmonitor, i just ran it in terminal and it seems to be doing nothing [12:28] regebro: then you need to apt-get dist-upgrade, and then dpkg-reconfigure -all -phigh, and keep doing both of those until dist-upgrade doesn't upgrade anything anymore [12:28] mechdave: pidgin, firefox gmail-notifer none of them connect [12:28] i cant connect to my wireless modem! [12:29] kondor101: i.e., nothing shows up when you plug in the psp? [12:29] cwillu: Super, thanks!

[12:29] Cochise: Ok now you have to make sure that you have the right DNS in /etc/resolv.conf [12:29] regebro: but that's the standard approach. you might find some things still work oddly afterwards [12:29] Joikast1: make sure you have the restrcicted repository enabled [12:29] cwillu, yes nothing shows up [12:29] what is acpi [12:29] IdleOne this is what I get when I enter the command: There is only 1 program which provides usplash-artwork.so [12:29] (/usr/lib/usplash/usplash-theme-ubuntu.so).

[12:30] janerik: whats your hardware like? [12:30] Cochise, would sh /home/brian/torrents/ETQW-client-1.1.r8.x86.run be correct? [12:30] does anyone know how to get a static address on your wireless connection? [12:30] janerik: elliotjhug: it's a direct rendering issue, I tried troubleshooting it, but didn't make much headway [12:30] Jo3: if that is the correct to the file, then yes [12:30] elliotjhug: on the other hand, I haven't slept in a while [12:30] I have a great idea for ubuntu.... why dosen't someone write a script to install wine and import all windows registry keys into wine registry and create a link for all windows programs under the ubuntu start menu so you can run all pre existing windows programs right off of the ubuntu start menu without extra configuration? [12:31] kondor101: worked under feisty? [12:31] kondor101: did you upgrade or fresh install? [12:31] elliotjhug:2ghz cpu, 512ram, 80 gb hd [12:31] kjalil: does your access point support static dhcp leases? that is the easiest way [12:31] any clue? [12:31] cwillu, no problems on 7.04 [12:31] remix5x: Go ahead [12:31] cwillu: fair enough - I'll take a look. [12:31] what is acpi? [12:31] kjalil, you manually configure? [12:31] Running Gutsy, my sound works (ALSA) on the desktop but when I try to use Mixxx using the ALSA API it tells me that the "Audio device could not be opened". Works in OSS, but I need multiple channels so I can use the cue output. Any tips? [12:31] remix5x: because it's unlikely to work [12:31] does anybody know how to install 7.10 i downloaded the iso file and ive got poweriso, what now? [12:31] dystopianray, ok well, when i type that I get : Cannot execute binary file [12:31] kondor101: I'd try it under a gutsy live cd, just to rule out any issues with the actual install [12:31] janerik: OK, I assume you are using desktop effects if we're talking direct rendering. What's your graphics card? [12:31] What should I know before upgrading to Gutsy? [12:31] i try connect using wlan, wep 64 hex, and give the passcode (10 digits), it is trying to connect, after few minutes asks passcode again, and again... [12:31] pipatron, i can't I don't posess the technical knowledge [12:31] voraz: burn it and boot it [12:31] voraz, burn the ISO to a disc and boot [12:31] voraz: did you burn the iso? === prapatan_rebel is now known as pika_chan [12:32] just copy the iso file on a cd? [12:32] FreeFull: you have the right to remain silent ;) [12:32] be sure not to burn the ISO as a data file [12:32] :-P [12:32] hmm, is it still possible to update from 5.10? I am trying to follow the update page, but failing horribly. [12:32] oh :( [12:32] voraz: You have to burn it as an Image-CD and then you change your bootsequence to include CD as 1st Boot Device... then you can boot from CD [12:32] cwillu, i think i can see whats happening, 2 secs [12:32] Jo3: cd into the direct and run: chmod +x ETQW-client-1.1.r8.x86.run [12:32] remix5x because linux is about freedom and wiindowz is about DRM [12:32] what is acpi? and why does is my motherboard telling me i need to force acpi in able to enable it? [12:32] dystopianray, It most certainly is.... I ran warcraft 3 on ubuntu from my existing windows partition simply by writing the registry keys into wine registry [12:32] zhanx: i did that, in System/Administration/Network and then disabled roaming and then set a static IP with WPA key, etc and it doesn't work [12:32] Pickle_Weasel: you'll have to upgrade to 6.06, and then 6.10, and then 7.04, and then 7.10, in turn [12:32] elliotjhug: No desktop effects..... My graphicscard???:-) Hp compac laptop:-) [12:32] hello my sound isnt working. I dont think my sound card is detected [12:32] Pickle_Weasel: the 6.06 upgrade will probably be the worst of the bunch [12:32] remix5x: it is unlikely to work for much else [12:33] cwillu: that is that i am attempting to do, 6.06 atm, but i keep getting the message "your version is no longer supported" [12:33] janerik: OK, well whats the graphics card in it. It might be Intel, Nvidia or ATI? [12:33] remus: I know, but ubuntu is trying to appeal to windows users and the average joe... and the average joe wants at least some windows programs to run in linux... thats what most windows users try to do after trying linux [12:33] If for some reason you have enabled your root account and wish to disable it again, open a terminal and issue the following command: [12:33] sudo passwd -l root [12:33] elliotjhug: looks like he was using i810 originally [12:33] my cd is 1st boot device, but burning the cd, with what and how [12:33] anyone know if it is necessary to upgrade to the final release of 7.10 from the RC? if so, how would I go about doing that? [12:33] Jo3: cd into the directory i mean [12:33] is anyone else having problems with their ranodm programs randomly stopping taking input from their keyboard on Gutsy?

[12:33] thank you both, will try ASAP [12:33] zhanx: umm, no idea [12:33] Shadow_Fi, manually configure it and try all the options with wep type [12:33] elliotjhug: hmm, I thought his issue was mostly desktop effect related; [12:34] ok thanks [12:34] lonnie: if there is packages to upgrade it will if it does not upgrade any packages then you are already at final release [12:34] tried..

[12:35] Pickle_Weasel: if you can't, then you can still just change all the references to warty to dapper in /etc/sources.list, and the apt-get dist-upgrade, and the dpkg-reconfigure -all -phigh, and keep doing both of those until it seems done [12:35] nosrednaekim: you mean the closed source (restricted) ATI driver?

[12:53] is there any howto for gutsy enabling compiz under kde already? [12:53] does anyone know how i can install lilo bootloader on a raid drive? [12:53] google [12:53] aata: there are some mobile tools for Ubuntu. [12:53] aata: does your phone have Bluetooth? [12:54] dpkg --configure gdm Setting up gdm (2.20.0-0ubuntu6) ... chown: changing ownership of `/var/lib/gdm/.gdmfifo': Permission denied dpkg: error processing gdm (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: gdm [12:54] Nonsik: don't u thinks Grub is better that LiLo [12:54] anyone else get that ? [12:54] mjbunink: gmc ? [12:54] lustblader, i fail to see how the HDD would cause the graphics to scramble randomly, i would have thought its gpu/cpu/lcd related [12:54] jscinoz_: hd can cause everything to freeze [12:54] aata: if it does, Ubuntu Gutsy should have quite good support for Bluetooth, and you can download some mobile tools through Synaptic. [12:54] how do we do a detection of sound cards? [12:55] i/o errors [12:55] anyone else finding that their machine will go back to sleep directly after waking up from sleep? [12:55] Lustblader, but cause graphical corruption? [12:55] compwiz18: I was thinking more about if VT console's also lose input, but it sounds like it is restricted to input-focus on Gnome. I had it happen a while back but I deal with so many bugs I've got to trawl to find it :) [12:55] Cochise: Try doing it sudo ethtool eth0 [12:55] Does anyone know a more n00b friendly distribution than ubuntu? [12:55] as in inverting colours randomly, scrambling pixels around [12:55] remus: this is it [12:55] murlidhar: heard that lilo is better then grub on raid, but neither of them works [12:55] how can i get portmapper to work [12:55] remus: edubuntu [12:55] jscinoz_: unlikely.. agreed.. but looks like a hardware issue.. not at all a software issue [12:55] mechdave: ill try be back in 5 [12:55] i installed sudo apt-get install portmapper [12:55] janerik: Sorry, I can't see anything that's wrong there... I mean direct rendering should have any effect upon your speed without desktop effects anyway. You seem to be using the correct driver. Sorry I can't be of any more help. Might be worth asking in the forums? [12:56] compwiz18: Is it a PS/2 keyboard, or USB ? [12:56] janerik: *shouldn't [12:56] Lustblader, but what could it be, as i said the GPU and mobo were replaced less than a week ago, so it cant be these two [12:56] remus: there is windows wich does not require any brains at all and only the ability to click Next and Finish :) [12:56] Nonsik: what is the error u r getting in grub? [12:56] zhanx [12:56] of course niekie, im downloading the upgrade right now... problem is, my computer doesn't have bluetooth. [12:57] sup [12:57] IntuitiveNipple, USB, I've used it with Dapper/Edgy/Feisty, never had a problem before, I haven't noticed if the VTs have issues although I use them very seldomly [12:57] i can connect w/the cable [12:57] murlidhar: executing "grub-install" /dev/md0 failed [12:57] shed === Shadow_Fi is now known as shadoww [12:57] compwiz18: thanks === Shed is now known as shadow_fi [12:57] elliotjhug: ok.

[12:58] moin [12:58] aata: Hrmm.. No idea about that, sorry. You could ask someone else maybe. [12:58] gryfie_ one i believe, theres a cd and a dvd version separate, both fit on a single disk of that type. [12:58] will kmobiletools work? [12:58] aata: or you could get a Bluetooth dongle, they're quite cheap nowadays. [12:58] aata: I am not sure. [12:58] janerik: it is really really odd... you tryed looking in the process list at all? === tiaz_arien^_^ is now known as nick_name [12:58] murlidhar: sda1 + sdb1 --> md0 (ext3) mounted on / [12:59] compwiz18: What make/model of PC is it?

[13:00] elliotjhug:yes, I can't see anything that should not be there [13:00] IntuitiveNipple, true, I forgot about that :P [13:00] me thinks getting gutsy out on schedule more importent than releasing a stable usable os [13:01] skype freezes when i start it anyone know a sollution ?

[14:34] or enhanced use i should say [14:34] lamego: go: tks [14:34] slvmecha, yes, you can [14:34] slvmecha: i always found x86_64 flaky and uses i386. but if you feel adventorous :-) [14:34] Yes, slvmecha, but try the 64 bit version first. [14:34] someone help me install apache and php on gutsy [14:34] 7.10 has better 64bit support. [14:34] It's worth trying 64bit [14:35] dual core is ony 32 bit [14:35] Ok, noone has any idea then. [14:35] when i activate proftpd with gproftpd or with /etc/init.d/proftd start it says started and nothing happens, the server is till off.. what is broken? [14:35] slvmecha: dualcoe = smp support - which is in i386 as well [14:35] really gryfie_? ok [14:35] or, to be exact, core duo, is 32 bit [14:35] haru_: apt-get install apache2 [14:35] Anyone can help me please? my laptop fan does not stop since i upgraded to gutsy [14:35] core 2 duo may be 64 bit [14:35] it's core 2 duo [14:35] haru_: apt-get install apache-php [14:35] mechdave: no luck [14:35] well can i run 32 bit apps on it [14:35] ok :) [14:35] Yes. [14:35] I use XChat in Gnome. I would be grateful is someone could tell me how to scroll up the text beyond what is available. [14:35] so when should i move on to gusty [14:35] Jaymac: Hang on a sec [14:35] saloxin: ok done [14:36] Anyone can help me please? my laptop fan does not stop since i upgraded to gutsy [14:36] i have a production dev machine [14:36] poe: got it [14:36] slyou can install 32 bit arch on a 64bit proc [14:36] so i can run 64 bit while still being able to use all the apps that are only 32 bit? ok [14:36] Got the following error when I clicked on the drive to mount it: [14:36] mechdave, i have apache2 , php5 and libapache2-mod-php [14:36] geoaxis: I'd advise against it. It adds little, and causes lots of problems. [14:36] i want to get the most out of this machine, if it's capable of 64-bit i don't see why not [14:36] mechdave, theres no apache-php package [14:36] [mntent]: line 16 in /etc/fstab is bad [14:36] haru_: apt-get install apache2-php [14:36] mount: can't find /media/Windows in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [14:36] mechdave, doesnt exist either [14:36] dooglus: i see ..so ill wait for my new Mac Book pro then :) [14:37] haru_: Sorry, yeah install those [14:37] slvmecha: amd64 is fine on Intel Core 2 Duo, and even better if the CPUs and BIOS allow the hardware VT (kvm-vt) [14:37] Anyone can help me please? my laptop fan does not stop since i upgraded to gutsy [14:37] mechdave, installed, yet php isnt being parsed [14:37] geoaxis: maybe a clean install would work OK, but upgrading for feisty has caused me too many problems [14:37] geoaxis: s/for/from/ [14:37] My screen goes to black after the Ubuntu loadbar is finished every other time I startup, The OS is running (startup sounds play) but I can't see anything. A Hard restart then works, ans everything is fine. This happens every other time I startup, which is troubling on a laptop. [14:37] what's the ram limit on 32/64 bit ubuntu's [14:37] poe: why are you booting with acpi=off? [14:37] dooglus: i always do clean install ...upgrades do alot of clutter in any case [14:38] 32bit uses only 4 GB. [14:38] I would like to address my issue to ubuntu community support via email. Could somebody please provide me with that email? [14:38] (i just rsync my home dir) [14:38] Deformation: check for similar bug reports (against ACPI) in at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ and if you can't find a similar one, create a new one against linux-source-2.6.22 [14:38] after upgrading to gutsy, my keyboard's right alt key no longer works... i used to have the shortcut of alt and + to maximize a window, but now it only works if I use my left alt... any ideas? [14:38] saloxin: cos i thought that would solve the problem... i googled and found something like it, but it didn't help [14:38] mechdave, any ideas? [14:38] haru_: It is an issue with php.ini, perhaps you could try #apache2 [14:38] IntuitiveNipple: how do i set up kvm-vt? [14:38] NotSure, go to lists.ubuntu.com and join the ubuntu-users mailing list [14:38] saloxin: if i remove it there is still the same error [14:39] gnomefreak: Thank You [14:39] poe: ok, makes sense. [14:39] IntuitiveNipple: i think that its powernowd, its not starting [14:39] i am updating to gusty gibson and getting a bunch of package dependency errors [14:40] slvmecha: kvm is part of the kernel now... if you have VT hardware then sudo modprobe kvm-intel will load it, then you can use "sudo apt-get install kvm" to install the VT-capable version of QEMU [14:40] Is there anyway to get the name of what I'm playing in Totem - to the command line? [14:40] NotSure, np [14:40] how do i diagnose kernel problems? [14:40] gnychis: did you check the keyboard shortcuts in System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts ? [14:40] which program is good for ripping dvds? [14:40] for example login, passwd, bash, etc are giving me errors from the update [14:40] btw, it is allowed in my country to "rip" dvds... [14:40] is this a problem? [14:40] poe: try "noapic" in the same place. just a hunch [14:41] together with acpi=off [14:41] Deformation: That could be it. If you can find similar bug reports add to them as much specific detail about your system as you can, and the dmesg/kern.log and output of lspci -nn and other reports asked for in the Wiki for bug reports [14:41] gah. why does the gnome power applet not step up my cpu when i plug in the power adaptor. The kde one does.. and has an option to manually increase it. but thegnome one doesn't.. how can i do this? [14:41] saloxin: ok thanks, btw i tried it in wubi 7.04 (didn't work) but haven't tried it in 7.10 so maybe it will work here... [14:41] edaniel: apparently it seems to be seeming with a "third level" on keyboards introduced in to gutsy: http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,130923-page,1-c,linux/article.html ... but i don't use gnome to follow these instructions to fix it [14:41] guys i just installd gutsy but i have a problem,, it shud be supporting reading/writing to my ntfs windows partitions , but its not... can any one help . ?? [14:41] one quick, maybe noob question, is there an x86-64 version of ubuntu or is that the AMD64 version? [14:41] IntuitiveNipple: ok [14:41] mechdave: no luck it just said process not allowed [14:41] in Everest i get this: Instruction Set x86, x86-64, MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3 [14:41] poe: whats wubi? [14:42] slvmecha, use AMD64 [14:42] !wubi | saloxin [14:42] saloxin: wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html [14:42] saloxin: it's a windows installer for ubuntu [14:42] how i can reset configuration of gdm ? [14:42] slvmecha, but I recommend you to use the x86 version anyway [14:42] hello [14:42] When I try to rename my volume group with "sudo vgrename Debian vg0" I get the message " Volume group "Debian" still has active LVs" how do I get around this? [14:42] !nts [14:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about nts - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:42] pawitp: why is that [14:42] !ntfs [14:42] ntfs is To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For NTFS write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse [14:42] poe: I also experienced cpu speed changing on a cpu similar to yours causing hanging. stopped using it and i was stable [14:43] slvmecha, you get better support bla bla bla [14:43] pawitp: if i can run all the apps i used in 32 bit, wouldn't it be more to my advantage to use 64-bit? [14:43] slvmecha, it is, if you can handle some problem [14:43] is there supposed to be packaged dependancy errors when i do update-manager? [14:43] Cochise: did you do it as sudo? [14:43] gnychis: I use gnome, sorry [14:43] wouldn't know where to stop it in gutsy though :-( [14:43] update-manager -c [14:43] slvmecha, they aren't really that bad in Gutsy though [14:43] !ntfs-3g [14:43] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [14:43] pawitp: sorry to be so questioning, but what sort of problems? i am actively googling as we chat also [14:43] saloxin: oh [14:43] mechdave: tried as normal and as root [14:43] slvmecha, flash used to be a trouble [14:44] Cochise: Hmmm, let me revise [14:44] slvmecha, I didn't touch the AMD64 version in a long time - can't really tell [14:44] if anything i know i'm going to have onboard audio problems like ones i had in XP, but there is a linux fix for the sigmatel onboard audio, where XP there wasn't === Blou_Aap__ is now known as Blou_Aap [14:44] what should i look for in /var/log/kern.log that would help diagnose my system locking up? [14:44] ok well, as long as it utilizes the dual core processor properly i don't mind [14:44] in x86 [14:45] rtorrent gives error [14:45] [ :1671] Storage error: [File chunk write error: No such device.] [14:45] slvmecha, I have been using 64 bits on desktop for 1 year, the few issues that were harder to handle, like flash, etc, are covered on gutsy [14:45] any idea how to reset gdm to default configuration ? [14:45] good morning .... since my upgrade to 710 my nm-applet no longer displays. Also when i run it from the terminal i am getting dbus errors. Can anyone help ? [14:45] saloxin: ok i've added noapic, i have to reboot for the change to take place right? [14:45] poe: you might also try linux-image-2.6.22-14-386 [14:45] hi! , how can i cp a folder and keep his symbolic links ? [14:45] I apologize but my early request was not properly formulated. Could somebody provide me with an email for gnome bug support? [14:45] poe: yep. kernel commandlines are only read at boot [14:45] gutsy is 7.10? [14:45] My screen goes to black after the Ubuntu loadbar is finished every other time I startup, The OS is running (startup sounds play) but I can't see anything. A Hard restart then works, ans everything is fine. This happens every other time I startup, which is troubling on a laptop. [14:46] slvmecha: yes [14:46] Koh_: man rsync - see the -l option [14:46] saloxin: thank i'll try [14:46] edaniel: what happens if you go to a virtual terminal? sounds like you x is going out of sync range [14:46] Koh_: hm man cp also mentions -d. check it out [14:47] anybody tell me how to configure the compiz-fusion for gutsy? [14:47] saloxin: what's the difference between that and the ubuntu i'm using? [14:47] mechdave, deleted that line from /etc/fstab as it won't let me manually mount the windows partition now either [14:47] justin420: sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager [14:47] English help wanted: Gnome Main Menu System > Administration > Network Analysis opens the window 'Network Tools'. What are the English names of the 8 tabs from left to right? [14:47] poe: its a slightly differently configured kernel (same ubuntu) === co_band_drummer is now known as Master_RO [14:48] justin420 - open terminal and type sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [14:48] saloxin: oh [14:48] poe: it comes without smp support (which you don't need), and isn't optimized for pentiium M. speed differences souldn't be noticable though [14:48] easytiger: The screen is black, I don't know if the terminal is launching or not [14:48] Cochise: route add -net 89.101.234 netmask 255.255.254.0 dev eth0 [14:48] edaniel: Ctrl-Alt-F1 or F2 etc will take you to a virtual terminal [14:48] saloxin: doesn't smp helps in a network with windows? [14:48] poe: trick is to find something that works, and then compare :-D [14:49] Cochise: route add default gw 89.101.66.1 [14:49] edaniel: go to shell2 (ctrl-alt-f2) ... login there and do a dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:49] Cochise: that should work! [14:49] i dont suppose there is any other way? i cant get a connection to us.archive.ubuntu.com, it appears to just timeout. [14:49] poe: smp = symmetric multi processing - for dualcore or multi cpu's [14:49] mechdave should i remove the old entry first? [14:49] Jaymac: what error does mount give you? [14:49] Hello.... I'm having trouble with an install... [14:49] justin420: well fix that first [14:49] saloxin: oic, thanks [14:49] Cochise: yep [14:49] its a good bet your resolution/sync range is too high [14:49] since my upgrade to 710 my nm-applet no longer displays. Also when i run it from the terminal i am getting dbus errors. Can anyone help ? [14:49] Thanks, easytiger and fant, I'll try that [14:49] saloxin: so i uninstall this ubuntu and install the i386 one? [14:50] The install from CD goes fine, but on reboot I can't boot anything from the hard drive. [14:50] mount: can't find /media/Windows in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [14:50] brb [14:50] poe: nono [14:50] What does the command nice do? "Run COMMAND with an adjusted niceness, which affects process scheduling."? [14:50] mechdave the delete command you gave me eariler wont work [14:50] I'm trying to find out if gutsy is using my swap partition, i can't tell, 'dmesg | grep swap' showed nothing. the swap parition got created/found during install, but can't tell if the system is using it, can anyone give me some pointers? [14:50] kaminix: modifies the scheduling of an application [14:50] ie. give a process more cput time than the other [14:50] poe: you click on "add removeprograms" and select a new kernel linux-image-2.6.22-14-386 [14:50] easytiger: the only thing i think that will fix that is time now; unless you can connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com? then i know its just my p.o.s [14:50] Could someone help me check my grub? [14:50] kaminix: lower number = higher priority [14:51] hi i have an NTFS drive which is sometimes running very slow in windows but running normally in ubuntu [14:51] easytiger: I see... when do I want to use that? [14:51] sc0tch: cat /proc/swaps [14:51] can i copy the ubuntu hard disk drivers to windows so that it runs faster? [14:51] wireless seems to suck in gutsy [14:51] sc0tch: top and free should tell you too [14:51] Jaymac: sudo mkdir /media/Windows [14:51] kaminix: pob never.. if you have a specific process you want to say run only when the system is idle maybe [14:51] So hm, what's the recomended way to configure Compiz in ubuntu gutsy? I installed some CompizConfig Settings Manager but it's damn buggy [14:51] justin420: i can ping it fine [14:51] mechdave, did that [14:51] pipatron: see above [14:51] then rebooted... and had no luck [14:51] Cochise: Hang about for a sec...

[14:52] Jaymac: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt [14:52] and put a # in front of those lines [14:52] mechdave no prob ill stay logged in but im going to fly for a cigeratte b back in a sec ill let ya know when im back [14:52] bullgard4: disable non-ubuntu sources in administration-software sources [14:52] justin420: ireland [14:52] saloxin: thanks, cat /proc swaps returned a file: /dev/sdb3 ...type, etc... so that looks ok, just was confused about the lack of dmesg output [14:52] since my upgrade to 710 my nm-applet no longer displays. Also when i run it from the terminal i am getting dbus errors. Can anyone help ? [14:52] Jaymac: does that work? [14:52] * justin420 shouts CRAP! [14:52] didn't try it [14:52] Cochise: righto [14:52] easytiger: Yeah, if you read my question you also saw that I'm actually trying to use that :P [14:53] poe: nope. its a kernel - installable from you package manager [14:53] saloxin: ok [14:53] well thanks for your help easytiger! appreciate it [14:53] saloxin: thx a lot [14:53] pipatron: click preferences in gnome [14:53] I am trying to install nvidia-glx-new, but i get this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41333/ . can someone pls help [14:53] saloxin: i'll try [14:53] pipatron: advancd deskop settings [14:53] easytiger: Yes?

Wait a minute [15:43] Cochise: it didnt work, when i put it to dhcp the connection-information dont show up at all, but the netwok-manager doesent report any problem... [15:43] muszek_: you can also do a traceroute and see which IPs it pass right after it leave the internal ones [15:43] I wonder how many of us wish we would have applied the MS mentality to the 710 upgrade and not switched until at least a month after release [15:43] use ping -b 192.168.1.0 [15:43] Albin: how are you on here if the internet is not working?

[15:44] poningru: basically everything. im on my 3rd reinstall now. the upgrade bricked my laptop, i lost basically all my data and not even a fresh install solves my issues [15:44] ive tried through the system>prefrences>screen resolution [15:44] keo92: this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox-ose/+bug/149607 is probably relevant [15:45] but the highest it has is 800x600 [15:45] hello [15:45] alchu: mirrors are swamped [15:45] what do i do if its not letting me type my password! [15:45] no one get mad at me, but the theme and layout of my new gusty is very boring [15:45] I know it's not a reliable measure the first min or so, but it's been going for a lil while [15:45] keo92: and, virtualbox uses Qt not GTK :) [15:45] fant: whats the issues?

Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:08] I was searching for VIA -,- [16:08] hey im i'm having troulbe in gutsy, i need to add a resolution but i don't know how to do it [16:08] yellow: another broadcom... good luck [16:08] nowhereman: happens the best [16:09] can someone help me with a laptop with radeon x1700 [16:09] :P [16:09] how do I determince which options to appear and which not to appear [16:09] also, how do i use the dual monitor support [16:09] is anyone following me [16:09] Sir_HaL, do not advise to set root password, 99.99% of the time it is not necessary [16:09] i have a laptop and external monitor [16:09] laggs: thank you [16:09] astro76: what do you do when booting requires fsck? [16:09] Is there someone that is like a bash script that autenticate in a site page write in php? [16:09] that's it. Why don't they just put that on the website. From what they keep saying it sounds like they hacked around to provide the security [16:09] or rather manual fsck [16:09] I have a question i installed the medibuntu repositories in my sources.list (yes i updated it after) but packages don't show up in synaptic and i can only install them in the console could anyone tell me why?

And no I need the root passwd. I run a networked system. No user is local, therefore I can sudo to root [16:10] poningru: would it matter if i did the -c flag?

[16:10] laggs: i got the broadcom on my dell e1705 working last time I tried ubuntu. hopefully its the same on this laptop [16:11] Secret_Hamster: "no user is local therefore you can sudo to root"? i don't understand what that means [16:11] Anyone know how to get the desktop "cube" to work in Gutsy (fresh upgrade)? [16:11] I've got the effects enabled. [16:11] i have tried everything... and think it is seeing the card just not the actual network now...

Maybe there has been an ask for impossibility, or can also be possible that an unstable sharing, or some of the demanded packages dont exists, created or moved tfrom incoming folder. Because only one command were used, it is very likely that the package is not for installation at all, and maybe there is a need for reporting this problem with the package." [16:32] ah 18 months.

[16:35] saloxin, ok, I'll try... thanks [16:35] tim167, do you plan to use it as a desktop? how much memory? with something that slow you probably want to try xubuntu (xfce) [16:35] usser then follows a information of few packages, and above is told that the info could be useful when reporting the problem, then info listed below is: These packages have unsolvede depencies; libxine1-plugins: depency:. libxine1-gnome (but not marked for installation) libxine1-kde (but not marked for installation libxine1-console (but not marked for installation [16:35] luite, i'm a novice at building stuff myself. where is it running into issues?

[16:37] tim167: lol for a 500mhz machine [16:37] I changed something in my /usr/lib file to get some codecs working, and now no program can start anymore. How do I check what I've done wrong and how do I fix it? [16:37] f0rgeIf`: Why do you tell me that? [16:37] jdod,saloxin - also, the 'sensors' readings appear to be nonsense, my CPU is freezing. [16:37] lnknpk04: I think there are 2 problemes, the errors with the INIT_WORK macro seem to indicate that this version is for another kernel. the other config.h include error (file not found, line 102) indicates that it's not correctly set up [16:37] jdod, so you have to write grub's mbr part to the second (ubuntu) disk, and restore the XP-bootloader to the first disk. then let your BIOS look for the second disk first. If it's present it will boot grub, if it's disconnected the XP bootloader will be seen [16:37] would the 7.10 live cd have gparted on it?

DPMS is also deactivated in xorg.conf. (please highlight my nickname on answer, thanks) [16:38] Ditters, it depends on how you installed [16:38] luite, ok. I'm gonna call the manufacturer on this since they provide the driver. though I doubt I'll get any support.

[16:39] ceed, if you shh through command line, just use apt-get remove [16:39] I want it pointin back to the grub conf on this partition [16:39] ceed - use apt-get remove or dpkg --purge [16:39] Can anyone tell me if the ATI 7500 AIW cards video input are supported in any way? [16:39] poe: just wait :-= [16:39] jdod, reinstalling is no cure for that. you need to understand what is what with the bootloader [16:39] saloxin: ok [16:39] zerodamage - that's your 'simple' question?

[16:40] zerodamage, I'm having problems with the ATI 7500 as well [16:40] Ditters, keep in mind apt-get --purge won't delete your user data and settings in ~/.evolution [16:40] Hey, I have a rather important networking issue that I am sure some of you may be aware about, and I would like to know how to fix it.

[16:41] lnknpk04: the INIT_WORK macro ( include/linux/workqueue.h ) has changed between kernel 2.6.18 and 2.6.20, so you should get an updated version of the driver for gutsy [16:41] bittorrent - deluge imho [16:41] hi guys! i've just started to use the official nvidia ubuntu modules instead of the nvidia provided insallation script and i get api mismatch. how should i resolve this problem?

But using the card for mythtv is my concern. I am not finding anything on the forums at all. [16:42] luite, ok. [16:42] saxin: They send unidentified packages back to the new owner [16:42] jdod, no it won't remove the grub *config* but only the MBR-part (which is perfect , because it was on the wrong disk anyway). The you have to boot up ubunt from Live CD and do a grub install to (hd1) instead of (hd0)... [16:42] anyone use ktoren ?

[16:49] how do i fix [16:49] it's hogging my screen [16:50] everybody upgrading to gutsy has of course read the release notes? http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/710 [16:50] hendrixski, ok...thanks!

[16:53] Joanki - what is the dpi setting? Increasing the dpi may help. [16:53] Ditters, you might want to specify your actual problem, as reinstalling hasn't seemed to help [16:53] how can i make it smaller? i don't like feeling like my screen has shrunk [16:53] Ditters: sudo apt-get --purge remove evolution or something like that [16:53] how do i find out dpi setting? [16:53] just downloaded 7.10 how do i do checksum??? [16:53] Dagon, there's an EXPORT command in the Command Line [16:53] the only real problem is the size of the icon bar to be honest [16:53] !md5 [16:53] menu bar [16:53] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [16:53] Joanki - by reconfiguring x [16:53] westdj: i think its /usr/apt/ [16:54] hendrixski, you can't upgrade from X.YY to Z.AA where Y-Z doesn't equal 1. in english: you can't upgrade from dapper drake to hardy heron because the versions of both are 6.06 and 8.04, respectively. you have to upgrade from dapper to edgy, then edgy to feisty. then feisty to gutsy, and finally hardy heron. OR you can reformat. [16:54] how do i do that, krm [16:54] picard: it doesn't work [16:54] kjm [16:54] astro76: now it says: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [16:54] Dagon, I don't know if there's an easier way, but if you go to the terminal, there may be a man page for it :-) [16:54] Ditters, right, I'm saying when you repeat your question, specify all the details, you are wasting a lot of time [16:54] Ditters: why do you want to completely remove it?

[16:55] Joanki : $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [16:55] ok ty [16:55] ZAKhan: you need the plugin package as well. search in add/remove [16:55] kbrooks, you can update from one LTS to another, at least what I heard, so that companies who use those don't have to re-install every six months, or spend days to update to the next one [16:55] astro76: at 7.10 it was a bug. here it's a problem [16:55] Anyone help me with GRUB?

[16:56] DevideZero, the official site of Ubuntu? there's ubuntu.com and for help you can go to ubuntuforums.com... is that what you were asking for? [16:56] so no-one is able to help me??? [16:56] Jo3, I usually go with the defaults on there [16:56] hi, I'm trying to browse my mobile phone via bluetooth, using the bluetooth icon ubuntu placed by default on my tray, but it says "obex://[00:16:20:84:a5:51]" is not a valid location. how should I correct this?

I want my space back [16:57] further configuration will have to be done manually in the x server configuration file, /etc/x11/xorg.conf [16:57] does anyone know amnything about that? [16:57] but alsa doesn't like it [16:57] Interesting. [16:57] cox377, any ideas? [16:57] oh flip .... === wirechief is now known as wirechief2 [16:57] how can i point my grub to this conf ? [16:57] you may wish to use the "lspci" command to determint eh bus location of your pci, agp or pci-express video card [16:57] Am I imagining things, or is it impossible to set more than two virtual desktops in gutsy? [16:57] when possible, this question has been pre-answered for you and you should accept the default unless you know it doesn't work [16:57] and then it says [16:57] pipegeek, nope. not so. [16:57] i hit enter nothing happens [16:57] edubuntu, you want to remove one of your partititions and get the space back, and then edit grub to not look at that other partition, right? [16:57] a [16:57] anyone know of widget software on 7.10? [16:57] oops [16:57] it worked now [16:57] Correctumundo [16:58] cox377, http://stikked.hippstr.com/view/1c9954f7 thats what I get from alsamixer [16:58] pipegeek: hallucinatins. right click - preferences [16:58] kbrooks: how is it done (through the gui)? Because I see no way to do it [16:58] Ditters, what you did to cause the problem, what you have tried, what are the symptoms, etc... [16:58] Dagon: If you are using gnome, set CLASSPATH in ~/.gnomerc [16:58] edubuntu, gparted can do that for you... and the first partition you had has the orriginal GRUB which only loads that partition, so you may not even have to edit the grb.conf file :-) [16:58] woops cox377 thats what I get in the sound preference pane [16:58] pipegeek, RT CLICK - PREFS [16:58] saloxin: Preferences lets you set columns and rows, but not number of desktops [16:58] astro76: very "simple" [16:58] quit [16:58] tehknow: u run sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base? [16:58] does virtualbox natively open vmx's created by VMWare server? [16:58] pipegeek, really? [16:58] How do I watch quicktime trailers from apple.com?

[16:59] <[R]> hello [16:59] gutsy [16:59] edubuntu, I would recommend using gparted from a liveCD instead of installing it on your computer to do this :-) [16:59] Anyone who knows how to watch quicktime movies? [16:59] <[R]> hey hendrixski [16:59] saloxin : thanks for the reply... i will start downloading the gusty image then, i had just 13mins left and it crashed LOL [16:59] pipegeek, possibly revelant [16:59] anyone there playing runescape via browser?

Then i installed 7.04 [16:59] pipegeek: i never touched compiz - might be different [16:59] cox377, now what?

[17:02] hello i am trying to enable a resolution for my external monitor, but i dont see how to do that in xorg.conf, there is no list of resolutions avaialbe to add my resolution into [17:02] Ditters, there is a hebrew channel [17:02] Hi, I often get a "no such directroy, or file" return. Can anyone give clues, to solve the problem [17:02] Jo3, oh no, that doesn't sound good. umm, you may want to check launchpad if anybody else posted that bug... because that's not normal, and if they did, post your experience, maybe some log files and hopefully soon one of the developers will fix it [17:02] solved it [17:02] !il | Ditters [17:02] Ditters: לשיחות בשפה העברית ולגישה לקהילת המשתמשים העברית אנא הקלד: [17:02] /join #ubuntu-il [17:02] !resolution | andrew_ [17:02] andrew_: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output.

[17:03] Ditters, :( [17:03] hey [17:03] astro76, ah, Ok [17:04] oh, yeah, empty channels don't help much either [17:04] Just wanted to give a big thanks for all helpful people here who puts up with strange questions from newbies. :)) Thank you guys (and girls)!!! [17:04] I have trouble getting my sound to work [17:04] It [17:04] it's probably still night over in israel, right? [17:04] hello [17:04] johncub: should do it. try and see? [17:04] MrBister, girls? where? please tell me. [17:04] !fstab [17:04] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [17:04] MrBister, questions arent strange unless they aren't asked! === Cc2iscooL_ is now known as Cc2iscooL [17:04] saloxin, I am trying it but it seems to not be doing much [17:04] hi, is anyone having problems connecting internet with 7.10 [17:04] It's a realtek alc268 card and I've tried with the default ubuntu drivers and realteks own newest drivers [17:04] after upgrading to kernel 2.6.22-14-386, my sound doesn't work anymore in ubuntu gutsy. aplay -l shows that there are no sound devices, but lspci shows that I have a VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA High Definition Audio Controller (rev 10). How can I fix the problem? [17:04] but no sound [17:05] anyone widgets and ubuntu ? [17:05] Qahwaji, I haven't heard that, no. did it work in feisty? [17:05] kbrooks> refrase: ALL questions :D [17:05] There are no stupid questions, only stupid people. But they're all running Vista :P [17:05] johncub: file is deleted? then grep won't help you [17:05] saloxin : So if i download the live cd, i can correct it or will i have to rebuild again ? [17:05] My Linksys WUSB54G Wireless-G USB Adapter worked in 7.04 [17:05] MrBister, I can read. [17:05] !elaborate | brooklynhype [17:05] brooklynhype: Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [17:05] hello [17:05] ok i'm sorry to keep asking this question, but the screen resolution and EVERYTHING is fine except for the size of the icons - you know in firefox how it has the back forward icons? you can easily adjust that to make them SMALL icons so they don't hog your screen - how do i do that for evolution or other applications? [17:05] jAk: it might be possible to correct. but it's pita and should be avoided [17:05] like to use desktop widgets on ubuntu? [17:05] saloxin, I was rather hoping it would have made it to /lost+found or somewhere. shrug [17:05] Joanki, are you sure it's not a firefox theme you installed? [17:06] brooklynhype, what? I don't get what you are asking. [17:06] Joanki, or is it all applications, and not just firefox? [17:06] hendrixski, i never used fiesty, but before that i used to get it to work by changing some settings for wireless, but now neither wired or wireless works, plus takes about 15 mins to start up [17:06] Joanki: you would need to find a gnome theme with small icons [17:06] can anyone help with a wireless network setup in 7.10 [17:06] Joanki, have you tried other overall themes for gnome? [17:06] no firefox is fine now [17:06] Joanki, in Feisty you can change that in System > Preferences > Menu and Toolbar Preferences, I'm not sure if it's the same in Gutsy [17:06] Brooklynhype: Sounds like you need to look at either Screenlets or gdesklets [17:06] i fixed firefox [17:06] Hi, I tried booting AMD64 Gutsy livecd, but it puts my LCD to standby and stops, even when I set the resolution myself and even in safe mode [17:06] johncub: you can go haywire and do "strings /dev/sda1 | less " [17:06] ok ty kbrosnan [17:06] who has a detailed list of exactly what the do-release-upgrade thing does? [17:06] gotcha forgot the names, thx ! [17:06] ok, seems not then what about that game cube 2 ? made on some german engine? [17:07] Creepindacellar, what's the problem with wireless? [17:07] Qahwaji, that's not normal. how old is the computer? [17:07] saloxin : forgive me. What is you recommandation? [17:07] johncub: but that might be huge [17:07] np [17:07] Joanki, there you can change it to icons only which makes it small [17:07] I remember Feisty doing the same, but it worked after I set the resolution myself, now that doesn't work either [17:07] im not sure but i have no connection [17:07] jAk: boot live cd. backup stuff you [17:07] not too old maybe 2 years old [17:07] and it's such a basic thing [17:07] saloxin, thanks I'll let this complete and then give that a shot if I get no love. :P [17:07] I checked creative's home for Audigy drivers for linux, but found none. Am I doomed to live without audio?? [17:07] hi [17:07] jAk: boot live cd. backup stuff you'll miss from the hd. start a fresh installation [17:07] i got problem with audio [17:07] it picks up a wireless network, but whne i put in the key it doenst do anything [17:07] Any ideas? [17:07] Creepindacellar, do you know wich chipset are you using? [17:08] if i have a 7.04 cd, should i bother with the 7.10 download, or should i install 7.04 and let ubuntu patch itself? [17:08] ive put in my wep not sure if it should be ascii or hex [17:08] Audigy drivers available somewhere? [17:08] hi guys, i got a strange printing problem under gutsy. can't print from gutsy's built-in pdf viewer. printing from openoffice works [17:08] Qahwaji, ah. well, you just can't connect through a wired network? or just wireless doesn't work? [17:08] !es [17:08] audio plays after login screen appears and when i logon, but when i try to play music or test sound settings it does work anymore [17:08] how can i find out?

[17:08] saloxin : Brillient, u been very helpful... Thanks - I will download the live cd iso now and start again... ;) [17:08] Creepindacellar, doesn't matter, it seems that your chipset is running ok [17:08] <[R]> hendrixski when i move my panels to right or left of my screen im left with a black line 3/4 of the way down and my mouse cant go past that [17:08] <[R]> « 12:09:pm» <+[R]> so i have to move it all the way to the top so i can get to the bottom of my screen [17:08] i get a fail message when i try to install anything when it should be dowloading the files through "add remove apps" menu.can somebody help me plz??? [17:09] it worked in 7.04 [17:09] Qahwaji, you're using that little network manager on the top right hand side, right? [17:09] astro76: ok, seems to want to take a long time though :\ [17:09] i went from the 64 bit version to the 32 bit version though [17:09] hendrixi yes i am, [17:09] no wine support in 64 bit [17:09] Creepindacellar, so, you are trying to connect to your wireless network that's protected with a wep key? [17:09] [R], what happens if you restart your xserver after moving them (ctrl-alt-backspace)? [17:09] yes [17:09] [R], it makes you log back in afterwards [17:09] i downloaded an icon set and untarred it - how would I use that set now [17:09] is there any way I can downgrade a *specific* package to its feisty equivalent? [17:09] not sure if the device is there or not [17:10] Creepindacellar, and you can see your network with networkmanager? [17:10] what is a fast north american mirror, UTD is slow as molasses [17:10] sardanapalos, what happens when you try using the command line "sudo apt-get install " ? Does it give you an error? [17:10] yes i see the router [17:10] manic12, read topic [17:10] Qahwaji, Then your drivers are probably no good... there's a tool for that, called NDIS-wrapper [17:10] Since I upgraded to Gutsy, all videos are jerky in VLC. It seems like the larger the video picture, the jerkier it gets [17:10] Creepindacellar, so, when you click on the network name in networkmanager, you're asked for the password [17:10] any idea about my audio problem, playing at session start but not after that ? [17:10] i don't know how to use this command - newbie in linux can u help me vocx ? [17:10] Qahwaji, or... maybe... try using the wireless somewhere else... maybe there's interference in your current area? [17:11] not asked per say but the field opens up [17:11] password field [17:11] !apt > sardanapalos [17:11] Qahwaji, I hope that gets you on the right track... I have to go now... there's tons of guides about NDIS-Wrapper, it should be easy to use. [17:11] hendrixski, wut about wired connection, it can be detected, but computer freezes [17:11] dooo dee dooo doo dooo dee dooo === manuel__ is now known as mstuefer [17:11] kkathman: usually i just unpack the archive, open up my home folder with nautilus and press control+h to show hidden files and then copy the folder containing the new icons into the .icons folder and they should show up in the theme manager [17:12] Creepindacellar, and if you know your password in the form: "mypassword" you should select the filed: "ascii wep" or "64/128 ascii wep" [17:12] gutsy, fglrx, 2.6.22-14-386, xorg => X does not work :( someone knows where the problem stays?? [17:12] Qahwaji, like I said, it's probably the driver for the wireless card. it may not be handling the signals well and crashing your system. imy suggestion is to try NDIS-Wrapper [17:12] and i do have a wep key for my router, should i use hex or ascii wep? [17:12] [R], I hope that the restarting the xserver works for you, I gotta go [17:12] mstuefer: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/710 [17:12] ok thanks hendriciki ill give it a shot [17:12] Qahwaji, I gotta go. hope that will work for you [17:12] Creepindacellar: does it contain anything other than 1234567890ABCDEF ? [17:12] Creepindacellar, you can use both, but what changes is the caracters associated with the password [17:12] Hend, can you help meeeee now? PWEASE [17:12] I disabled the boot splash screen in ubuntu, is there a way to colorize the boot process text like it is in Knoppix or Fedora??? [17:12] lol [17:12] * hendrixski has to go now [17:12] thanks, ill try it and see wut happens [17:13] What does "The generated cache was invalid." signify, when installing a package? [17:13] Creepindacellar, you should not use wep it is totally insecure --- you should use plain text - then you know how secure wep is (cos they are about the same) [17:13] Qahwaji: your network is not working? [17:13] Since I upgraded to Gutsy, all videos are jerky in VLC. It seems like the larger the video picture, the jerkier it gets [17:13] !patience > Daedalus_Prime [17:13] what is the correct way to stop modules form loading on boot? === Jared is now known as KI4IKL|LAPPY [17:13] some people use wep for legal reasons [17:13] liberum, do you have an ATI card??? [17:13] saloxin: this 386 kernel still gets the freeze :( [17:14] !blacklist > bmk789 [17:14] saloxin: tnx [17:14] come again? [17:14] is there a dummie guide for installing nvidia drivers? [17:14] liberum, do you have an ATI card??? [17:14] Creepindacellar, you should not use wep it is totally insecure --- you should use plain text - then you know how secure wep is (cos they are about the same) [17:14] I have been patient, I been waiting here for 20 mins for help, where othe rpeople come in with stupid "oh no my icons are too big" and they get first dips. [17:14] 7.10 is giving me heck with my usb 802.11g dongle. is there something I'm over looking? [17:14] I have amarok and k3b installed.. but when I right-click a selection in amarok, I don't get the 'burn' option.. is there something else I'm supposed to do? [17:14] poe: :-( [17:14] !fonts > recon [17:14] Creepindacellar, you must probably type your key using the option "ascii wep" [17:14] i have 6 other comp on the router not going to change it right now [17:15] Daedalus_Prime: do you pay for support here ? [17:15] No, but I will if I have to. [17:15] i have but i get server not found [17:15] Creepindacellar, if you don't know what Hex means, then you are using ASCII wep [17:15] Daedalus_Prime: it might be that noone in here has that actual hardware, and therefore not able to help unless we see error messages, steps tried etc === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [17:15] ive tried both [17:15] It's not a hardwatre issue [17:15] Daedalus_Prime: what is your problem ? [17:15] !wireless > Daedalus_Prime , -- please check the message from ubotu [17:15] Daedalus_Prime, ok, what problems are you having? [17:16] bmk789: you can disable loading of modules by modifying /etc/modprobe.d /blacklist [17:16] i tried to install through terminal commands but this doesn't work either [17:16] saloxin: what can i do now? O.o [17:16] I can roam for my wireless router, but I cannopt connect to the internet [17:16] Good afternoon folks :) [17:16] can someone help? [17:16] I can see my ESSID, and I put in the passphrase [17:16] but no joy [17:16] Creepindacellar, first of all, how does the NetworkManager icon look? [17:16] Daedalus_Prime: is your router configured corectly ? [17:16] Q: I'm trying to use the unofficial 3D windows plugin for compiz on feisty. (1GHz, 1GB, nvidia TI4200) Every time I activate the plugin (or other plugins from the unofficial package), compiz crashes - just quits, no error. What am I doing wrong? [17:16] poe: try linux from scratch for the fun of it? google your motherboard and look for known issues? im at a loss [17:16] !error > sardanapalos [17:16] Yes, I am on it with Windows right now on the same exact hardware. [17:16] !paste > sardanapalos [17:17] Daedalus_Prime, are you using web or wpa or what? [17:17] Daedalus_Prime: pastebin ifconfig -v [17:17] saloxin: linux from scratch? [17:17] "could not connect" connection time out [17:17] WEP [17:17] Daedalus_Prime: and when you are on linux, when you do iwlist wlan0 scan what does it get? [17:17] i see [17:17] the two computers in the top bar? no lights on either [17:17] saloxin: meaning compile it myself? [17:17] I don't know, I can't see it right now... [17:17] Anyone seen any Ubuntu onesies floating around? I'm gonna be a dad on Monday and I want my daughter dressed in the best :) [17:17] poe: just joking. [17:17] well I am getting somewhere with my sound [17:17] how do i use ndiswrapper in gutsy? [17:17] it says manual network config when i hover over it [17:17] VLC is working with sound [17:18] sardanapalos, maybe the servers are down. You just have to wait. Are you sure you have a working internet connection? [17:18] but firefox and everything else isn't [17:18] wtf [17:18] Creepindacellar, Ok, so you're using it in "Manual Settings" mode [17:18] any ideas anyone? [17:18] i guess [17:18] slackern ok thankx, Im having a prob with finding "theme manager" I am used to KDE actually - I went to System-Preferences-Appearance and cant seen to get them installed [17:18] Hello everyone. I am having some problems with my update-manager with the Gutsy update. When it starts up, it gets through a small amount of the "Preparing" phase and then freezes. It prints nothing out to the terminal. I'm using 7.04 AMD64 [17:18] i cannot use pastebin as i am typing on a windows pc [17:18] Creepindacellar, try setting it in "Roaming" Mode [17:18] i right click its the only option i have [17:18] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41348/ please advise [17:19] anyone able to help me? [17:19] ok i turned roaming on [17:19] Creepindacellar, ok === thomas_ is now known as _thomas [17:19] Gutsy is awesome, I've been using it for a while now. [17:19] A[D]minS, it would be nice if you provided a short description of the problem before the pastebin link. [17:19] There are a few small differences in the way it works, but they're intuitive changes [17:19] Creepindacellar, so Now, you should be able to see your network's ESSID(Name ) [17:20] why won't my sound work properly? [17:20] says Private messages from unregistered users are currently blocked due to spam problems, but you can always message a staffer [17:20] Hmz. I just freshly installed Gutsy, it didn't ask me for a root password I think. Now I try to "su" on terminal and it won't just take my userpass. Am I missing something? [17:20] A[D]minS: medibuntu.org [17:20] vocx ok when i run mplayer from command line this is the error and vlc when open video this is the error [17:20] cox377, any ideas? [17:20] Creepindacellar, when you "Left click" on the networkmanager icon, you should see the networks around you [17:20] !register > Creepindacellar , read the message from ubotu [17:20] !wep [17:20] WEP is totally insecure, don't use it, the full Wireless Documentation for Ubuntu can be found at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [17:21] i don't like epiphany. how can i add to the features?

[17:21] Daedalus_Prime, given that wep can be cracked in under a minute, I just limit by mac address [17:21] My device WORKS, I just can't get internet [17:21] Creepindacellar, so the problem is that your Wep key is longer than 128 bits [17:21] A[D]minS, seems like you are missing codecs... don't know. Give further info to the channel. [17:21] liberum, i disabled the binary only drivers, and it seemed to work ok after that, if that is your case [17:21] Daedalus_Prime: and what is your issue ?

Not sure but its probably preconfigured [17:26] JarG0n, the only thing that needs to be mounted is swap and the system, the rest is optional [17:26] tomd123: remove the entries in /etc/fstab [17:26] Hello does anybody here use alpine? What is the default location of PASSFILE? How could I find out if alpine was compiled with password cacheing feature? [17:27] has anyone had problem with compiz and gnome-art manager? [17:27] mutable what is alpine? [17:27] src> thx. Do you know what the UUID means? Is it just a hardware ident? [17:27] it is the original cd, i downloaded yesterday and installed it myself,no beta [17:27] sardanapalos: apt-get is not reaching webservers? box online at all? [17:27] bulmer: pine, new [17:27] <_thomas> hi [17:27] <_thomas> i've got a dual core cpu and I was testing it a bit, and i saw super_pi only uses one of the 2 cores, how can I set it to use both? [17:27] blair, I have the most current ati xorg drivers [17:27] src> I just don't recall changing this to UUIDs. [17:27] ok heres my next one, trying to use nvidia gforce6600 when i go to enable proprietary drivers it says coure package for nvidia-glx-new is not enabled [17:27] I am having hardware issues with my laptop, I cannot start off the LiveCD without it hanging [17:27] tomd123, there is an option in /etc/fstab "noauto" read "man mount" and "man fstab" for more info [17:27] jarg0n fstab uses the drive IDs so that it mounts correctly even if the drives get switched. it's nothing to worry about [17:27] coure=source [17:27] i am able to use mozilla and open web but cannot install or update anything [17:27] how do i get multiple workspaces, i.e. >2, if i select 4 in desktop preference i get 8 workspaces instead where only 4 works [17:27] Nematocyst> cool beans. [17:27] !fstab > tomd123 [17:27] mutable the mail client pine? [17:28] _thomas: probably super_pi doesn't support multiple cpu's. use cpu #2 for something else [17:28] bulmer: yes [17:28] Nematocyst> Is there a way I can query the drive IDs? [17:28] mutable why would it need a passfile? [17:28] <_thomas> saloxin: yeah, but I want to see how fast I can make it go [17:28] bulmer: to store passwords [17:28] _thomas: bummer [17:28] JarG0n, it's the identifier for the filesystem [17:28] is there a master list of all packages available with apt-get? [17:28] <_thomas> saloxin: so there is no way of assigning it to 2 cpu's? [17:28] does not ubuntu come with a c++ compiler? [17:28] mutable linux systems usually uses /etc/passwd with /etc/shadow as the real one [17:28] Can someone help me with my Nvidia drivers/Xconfig? I'm getting an error message at the install.... [17:28] JarG0n, like an easy to remember name universally applicable [17:29] _thomas: programs need to support it themselves [17:29] nvictor: apt-get install build-essential [17:29] Hmm, C compiler cannot create executables.. [17:29] can I have a private chat with someone? I need help with installation on a laptop, I've tried the usual workarounds but I still can't make it work [17:29]
