[00:00] danny3793: I did not have this problem and I tested it a lot [00:00] there are no answeres there [00:00] toby there might just be a typo in there. [00:00] danny3793: oy... [00:00] I did exactly what they said to do [00:00] And is currently leaking memory @ levmatta [00:00] Dex-Freudii: not that i am aware of.. other than backing em all up [00:00] benzon: GOT it ! [00:00] levmatta: i believe he said it does it if you do it alot of times [00:00] the update ,anager [00:00] manager [00:00] jburd: did you install the compiz fusion manager? [00:00] benzon: is there no "beam up" plugin for compiz ? [00:00] danny3793: I broke my computer's graphics somehow, and I don't know what to do! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3604502 [00:00] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" , thanks. [00:00] that's why I prefer upgrading :-/ [00:01] LiMaO: why do you say that? [00:01] guys why i can't find w32codecs in the synaptic or apt-get? [00:01] FluxD: have you tried reading "install.sh"? [00:01] Dex-Freudii: too many people having too many problems with it [00:01] rainwalker: oof, ATI is hard with Linux lol [00:01] Dex-Freudii: it it helps any i upgraded without any issues at all [00:01] also, after upgrading, why wasn't the restricted drivers manager available [00:01] levmatta: The bug is in compiz, not gutsy. Every time I minimize and restore any window, compiz's memory consumption goes up 1% and after a while X crashes. [00:01] asbani: add the medibuntu repos [00:01] toby: there does not seem to be a source.gz here: [00:01] http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/universe/ [00:01] danny3793: well the sad thing is that it worked perfectly in Feisty! [00:01] shane634: what's your hardware? [00:01] hydrogen, can you please tell me how, or give it to me [00:01] * Possum had problems upgrading [00:01] toby: but i am not sure. [00:01] Dex-Freudii: i used gutsy myself. it's great. fast, stable. but too many minor (some even major) that affect almost all people [00:01] no. [00:01] Possum: don't worry, me too [00:02] asbani: google for medibuntu [00:02] in fact the install/livecd didn't work [00:02] jrib: yea I am not really sure where the uninstall option is though [00:02] no fix huh [00:02] nividia fx5200, amd 1200+ onboard sound [00:02] toby: try removing the "e" in the diests part in your sources.list [00:02] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" , thanks. [00:02] FluxD: apparently you need to do "./install.sh --uninstall" [00:02] rainwalker: have you tried possibly enabling the card through restricted drivers manager? [00:02] asbani : here is a repo : deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free [00:02] How do I get quicktime files to play in Ubuntu 7.10 without crashing the media player? [00:02] jrib: ty [00:02] danny3793, still having problems here... gonna wait it out hoping they fix the bug [00:02] jburd: I was just thinking of installing compizconfig-settings-manager and disabling some effects [00:02] i have my ports forwarded, but utorrent doesn't go over 40kb/s and i don't know how to fix it, in windows with bitspirit i could get easily to 200kb/s any ideas? [00:02] anybody using dell inspiron 1501 laptop with 7.10? [00:02] FluxD: "./install.sh --help" should list that [00:02] I used the alt install, which failed after installing base system, then apt-got ubuntu-desktop [00:02] danny3793: well on Feisty, effects didn't work with that driver [00:02] jrib: sorry, I can't figure out this rename command out. The man page doesn't really help. Is this perl? I don't know perl. [00:02] jburd: compizconfig-settings-manager lets you configure it and test it better [00:02] deaddreamer: use uPNP [00:03] i am a noob so still tryin got figure out how [00:03] deaddreamer: or rtorrent ;) [00:03] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" , thanks. [00:03] ubuntu-arizona [00:03] anyone knows how to disable network interfaces without "ifconfig down"? [00:03] jrib: I didnt know ./ stuff had options on them [00:03] Dex-Greudii I'm on the E1505 [00:03] danny3793: and even if I wanted to, I could have installed the driver because for some reason the restricted drivers manager got removed during the upgrade! [00:03] levmatta: Try this on your box if you can: open a term and type top. (watch compiz.real) turn on desktop effects and minimize and maximize a window repeatedly. watch the mem consumption. [00:03] omg hyper___ch georgy_28 . I just downloaded this "sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/dapper.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list" and a Dapper version, how to prevent or remove it now? [00:03] <[chr0n0s]> how do i make vlc the default media player in xfce ?? [00:03] FluxD: like I said, a shell script can do *anything* :) [00:03] I wish to know if it is only my machines suffering from this [00:03] if anyone was in here to see my complaining for hours about DHCP in gutsy, I Just got it working with a simple dhclient command. I don't want to have to do this everytime I start my laptop though. How can I get dhcp to work the first time, everytime? [00:03] jrib: heh thx again [00:03] jburd: OK [00:03] rainwalker: you mean you have no restricted drivers manager? if you do i would try to use the drivers provided with that and see if it works [00:04] rainwalker: if you dont, then thats...uh...bad lol [00:04] asbani : change dapper in gutsy and reload [00:04] seamus7: did you upgrade from 7.04? [00:04] danny3793: I know! [00:04] Tamale: bind the script [00:04] rainwalker, try apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [00:04] any good website on how to find themes and skins and cursors and all that kind of stuff for ubuntu?? [00:04] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" , thanks. [00:04] PaganImmolator: you need to understand basic regular expressions. In the directory, try: rename 's/$/.jpg/' * [00:04] Possum: for what? [00:04] georgy_28, change it where? [00:04] Dex-Freudii: I did ... to the Release Candidate .. then I did a fresh install [00:04] deaddreamer: gnom-look.org [00:04] levmatta: What happens at your end? [00:04] shane634: How can i do that. [00:04] deaddreamer: gnome-look.org [00:04] asbani: are you on dapper? and plz use tab completion for highlighting [00:04] rainwalker: im not suggesting this but, perhaps you can try Envy? I hear it works for some people, but not everyone [00:04] rainwalker, I think it should fix anything broken like the missing restricted drivers thing [00:04] hyper___ch, I'm in gutsy. [00:05] jrib: yeah. that syntax is funky. Not what I am used to. Let me try. [00:05] PaganImmolator: wait, don't try that [00:05] danny3793: um...the fix has to be non-gui [00:05] asbani : sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [00:05] how better is 7.10 than 7.04? [00:05] !envy [00:05] envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly! [00:05] rainwalker: ive used it and it worked for me, i had to use the manual upgrade (makes you manually choose the version you want" [00:05] Dex-Freudii, better enough :) [00:05] PaganImmolator: instead, try this first: rename -n 's/$/.jpg/' * [00:05] Dex-Freudii: it is cool lol [00:05] danny3793: this will explain my problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3604502 [00:05] georgy_28, Ok then?? [00:05] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" , thanks. [00:05] !test | User667 [00:05] IdleOne: Im not envious of those who didnt use it, when it worked fine for me ;) [00:05] !apt-cacher [00:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-cacher - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:05] !worksforme | danny3793 [00:05] danny3793: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ [00:05] jrib: oops..that last one seems to have worked anyway [00:05] i'll try an upgrade [00:05] Possum: can you read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3604502 and tell me if installing ubuntu-desktop would help with that? [00:06] toby - easiest way might be looking at the repository list in synaptic. [00:06] Dex-Freudii: that worked flawlessly for me [00:06] PaganImmolator: yeah they were the same but the -n makes it just say what it would do so you can check [00:06] Hello, if someone knows some basics of blog/web designing, please PM me. I'd like to ask a couple of questions. [00:06] asbani: sudo apt-get update, then you can install the codecs [00:06] georgy_28: not with the wrong repo sources [00:06] rainwalker: so youve tried vesa and all others? [00:07] jrib: thanks again. I will save that so I can study it later. [00:07] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" appeared after updating to 7.10 , thanks. [00:07] asbani: use TAB completition so that you get the name correctly for the people you address [00:07] no [00:07] still [00:07] Package w32codecs is not available, [00:07] hyper__ch, Ok now? [00:07] anyone who wants to help with a tablet pc, please PM me [00:07] jburd: it did not move, %MEM, SHR, VIRT did not change [00:07] asbani: why did you select the dapper one and not the gutsy one? [00:07] heth: is it affecting your machine at all? [00:07] rainwalker, I figure it's worth a try... it worked for me with my trashed system... [00:07] shane634: thaanxx [00:07] !medibuntu | asbani [00:07] asbani: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [00:07] E: Package w32codecs has no installation candidate [00:07] does ubuntu support rpm installers? [00:07] aqui lo croman [00:07] Pici, I did all whats in it. [00:07] jburd: I am using the nvidia driver [00:08] hyper__ch, is upnp universal plug & play? [00:08] !rpm | froggger [00:08] froggger: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) === ThePub_ is now known as ThePub [00:08] shane634: loops. [00:08] hyper__ch, I did by mistake, but then i choosed the gutsy one. === bonzai is now known as b0nza1 [00:08] froggger: with alien yes [00:08] danny3793: I've only tried vesa with Gutsy, because it crashed my graphics so I can't choose a different driver [00:08] deaddreamer: yeah [00:08] shane634: cannot start gdm at all [00:08] asbani: w32codecs is in there iirc, make sure that you do an apt-get update before trying to install [00:08] Dex-Freudii: an upgrade worked for me on my E1505 ... 7.10 is nice in that you can get the propietary FGLRX installed through one click in the Restricted Drivers Manager ... and that makes it almost worth it right there ... I did a fresh install a couple days ago just cause I like to do that and with / in its own partition it's not too much of a pain [00:08] so is it reccomended to use alien or not> [00:08] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" appeared after updating to 7.10 , thanks. [00:08] Pici, I did update.. [00:08] heth: ok let me look it up then [00:08] asbani: so you have now the gutsy one added? [00:08] i'm trying to install linuxant drivers [00:08] shane634, thanks. [00:08] Im having trouble with apt on my Ubuntu Server. Im getting "Could not connect" errors when trying to install some packages. [00:08] Possum: what is ubuntu-deskop anyway? It sounds like something that would be installed already... [00:08] does 7.10 have a different network manager than 7.04 that allows you to refresh wireless networks in range? [00:08] levmatta: Well I'm using the nvidia driver too, and I also tried the git repo version of compiz. [00:08] froggger: no, don't use alien. They have debs.... [00:09] levmatta: Still the same thing. [00:09] froggger: does alien work for that install or not? [00:09] rainwalker, it's a metapackage that installs everything that comes default [00:09] mrunagi: no, it's just an updated version of the 7.04 network manager [00:09] Is it possible to install in such a way that I overwrite my linux partition except for the home folder in it? [00:09] is there a way to refresh the networks? [00:09] Possum: Okay, so would I boot into recovery mode? [00:09] asbani: Are you running 64bits? [00:09] asbani: so you have now the gutsy one added? [00:09] hyper__ch, yeah [00:09] Possum: actually, what is the command to switch to a text-based login? [00:09] eugman: if you have /home on a different partition, then yes [00:09] Pici, 64bits of what? [00:09] asbani: and you are running 32 or 64 bit? [00:10] is AVANT no longer in apt ??? [00:10] asbani: did you use the i386 or the amd64 installation? [00:10] rainwalker, If recovery mode works... I don't know how to get a text-based login, but you can probably chroot from a livecd [00:10] asbani: nevermind, i see hyper__ch is heling you. [00:10] hyper__ch, no i choosed i386 [00:10] Pici: trying to [00:10] s/heling/helping. [00:10] is avant not supported in Gutsy? [00:10] jburd: sorry to bug you, I will try to google it and search the compiz-fusion forum [00:10] thanks, i'll just use something else then [00:10] asbani: you added a new repository, so you first have to update the packages: sudo apt-get update [00:10] hyper__ch, i did man [00:10] asbani: does `apt-cache search w32codecs` return anything? [00:11] Pici, nop [00:11] Possum: what is chroot? [00:11] asbani: after that you can install it: sudo apt-get install w32codecs [00:11] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" appeared after updating to 7.10 , thanks. [00:11] Phocion: yes Gutsy can run AWN with compiz enabled of course ... see here http://www.queervisions.com/arch/2007/10/awn_avantwindow.html [00:11] hyper__ch, i just activated uPnP and its even slower XD [00:11] hyper__ch, maybe you dont believe me, so i will show you [00:11] seamus7, thanks dude - but it's no longer in APT right?> [00:11] asbani: or you could run it all in one: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install w32codecs [00:11] (on utorrent) [00:12] rainwalker, it treats the chroot'd directory as though it were / [00:12] deaddreamer_: then use rtorrent ;) [00:12] seamus7, I see avant in Synaptics, but it doesnt have a version with it [00:12] rainwalker, effectively CHanging the ROOT directory [00:12] hi, what distro do you recommend me for a Mac G4? [00:12] i installed it through apt-get but it doesn't show up in the apps menu :S [00:12] tinin: dapper [00:12] deaddreamer_: rtorrent is command line based [00:12] deaddreamer_: ;) [00:12] !ppc | tinin [00:12] tinin: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [00:12] i see [00:12] hyper__ch, look here. you dont believe me?

Im getting "Could not connect" errors when trying to install some packages. [00:13] that's awesome lol [00:13] well nvm, ill search google, too much stuff to learn i think [00:13] deaddreamer_: let me fetch a url [00:13] rtorrent made my computer crash on compile :( [00:13] Possum: I still don't get it...what command would I run? [00:13] deaddreamer_: it is a terminal application [00:13] Tamale: you didn't fool anyone. [00:13] FluxD: it has a builtin noob detector [00:13] is there a reason why I'm getting two copies of most of my mail in Evolution [00:13] hello, i'm wondering why every time i load up rhythmbox my files (that are on another harddrive) don't load....but as soon as i open up that harddrive elsewhere they load up fine, any ideas?

[00:13] rainwalker, oh, right, you should only do this if you can't boot though... one second [00:14] wirechief: I think I PMed you twice, sorry [00:14] rtorrent made my computer crash on compile :( [00:14] Pici, check http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41768/ too.. maybe you will know [00:14] seamus7, got it. thanks!

[00:14] Zippy2: It isn't protected. [00:14] hyper__ch, are you still helping me? [00:14] specifically, why DHCP doesn't work automatically like it used to [00:14] Tamale: I don't know, but it wasn't a good change... [00:15] Tamale: it forced network manager [00:15] let me see [00:15] rainwalker, boot from livecd, and assuming your drive is /dev/sda1 and your chroot directory is /mnt/, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/; mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/dev; chroot /mnt/; [00:15] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" appeared after updating to 7.10 , thanks. [00:15] shane634: Can you help me understand what that change means and how I can use a script to automate the grabbing of an IP address? [00:15] asbani: strange [00:15] just disable it and move on [00:15] Possum: what will that do? [00:15] When installing, I have 3 kernel choices: linux-generic, linux-image-generic, and linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic. Are these different kernels, or just one kernel and two meta packages for some special install? [00:15] Zippy2: If the pdf isn't protected how do I do it? [00:15] asbani: try installing non-free-codecs instead. [00:15] all bye... [00:15] the name of Adobe's PDF software.) The Xpdf project also includes a [00:15] PDF text extractor, PDF-to-PostScript converter, and various other [00:15] utilities. [00:15] rainwalker, then you _should_ be able to run commands as though you were actually logged in as root to the broken system [00:15] shane634: How can I disable it [00:16] darx: you can also try pdftk [00:16] it is in the upper right corner turn it off [00:16] rainwalker, so then you can apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop or whatever [00:16] Possum: but doesn't recovery mode automatically log me in as root?

[00:16] zless /usr/share/doc/xpdf/README.gz [00:16] asbani: pastebin this: cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [00:16] rainwalker, like I said, teh chroot should only be necessary if recovery mode doesn't work :) [00:16] Hi there! I'm having issues configuring my video drivers... Is it normal that on the logging screen my resolution is 800x600 and when I type my username and password I get normal resolution of 1856x1392??

[00:17] drop out? [00:17] Zippy2: I just need to select text using the mouse and copy it to the clip board. I can do that with adobe reader and evince. Is there a way to do that using xpdf? [00:17] I never used them before and I haven't touched them on my new gusty install [00:17] hyper__ch, here. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41770/ [00:17] Possum: I'll keep all that in mind, I want to see if I can fix my video driver first [00:17] im reading the link you gave me :) [00:17] delete em tamale [00:17] deaddreamer_: I gave you two ;) [00:17] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" appeared after updating to 7.10 , thanks.

[00:18] asbani: I see the problem... you konw how to edit this file? /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list ? [00:18] sudo apt-get remove network-manager ? [00:18] Alloosh: I think it's .wine [00:18] if this alienware would work with linux..... lol [00:18] Metal03: ok, the base config of X is 800x600, but your user has set a custom one. That's designed so another user on your system could also have their own res [00:18] Tamale: I wouldn't recommend removing that [00:18] hyper__ch, yeah i know [00:18] rainwalker: why not === D[a]rkH[a]ck is now known as DarkHack [00:19] Tamale: because I think it's important...I'm not positive though [00:19] rainwalker: how so?? === Shinigami is now known as kevind23 [00:19] what is a good program to block ips? [00:19] rainwalker: If fesity didn't have it I'm cool with it being gone. [00:19] a program good for ubuntu gutsy [00:19] ? [00:19] shane634: doesn't it manage all the connections and stuff? [00:19] Tamale: that's a good point [00:19] asbani: change it to this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41772/ [00:19] asbani: for some reason it did not add the "non-free" [00:19] Tamale: feisty did have network manager [00:19] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" appeared after updating to 7.10 appears something with EVMS.. , thanks. [00:20] how can i config ddclient that it actualize my IP in dyndns.org everytime i reboot my rooter? [00:20] nickrud: ok, well I'm having problems with Nvidia drivers... I upgraded to 7.10 and tried to update my drivers and now wine can't use openGL [00:20] rainwalker: it is a connection mangager.. but only one of many avaialable [00:20] darx: was it enabled by default [00:20] rainwalker, I don't have much experience with ATI cards, but you can edit xorg.conf [00:20] Rain, it can, but there are other provisions for networking without network manager [00:20] Tamale: what exactly is the trouble you are having? is it wireless? [00:20] How do I uninstall things built from source? [00:20] no, just wired. [00:20] <[Soma]> hey. my title bar disappears on all windows when i enable desktop effects. anyone got any idea? [00:20] I just want dhcp to work automatically when I boot up. [00:20] administrator: iptables can do it, through firestarter if you have a gui. [00:20] Metal03: I know nothing about nvidia. I use ati, and wish I didn't. [00:20] Possum: ooh...I'd have to use vi or vim since I'd have to use the command line, wouldn't I? [00:20] Pthomas: `make uninstall` if the Makefiles are still around (and if the build system supports it) [00:20] asbani: and after that: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install w32codecs [00:20] hyper__ch, ok doing it now [00:20] then get rid of that manager tamale [00:21] I got it to work for the first time today by running sudo dhclient eth0 [00:21] pici: thanks!@ [00:21] crimsun: `make uninstall` doesn't work the makefiles aren't around anymore. [00:21] rainwalker, in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf the Driver line under Section "Device" [00:21] hold on, i think darx is trying to help [00:21] maybe :) [00:21] Possum: hang on, let me take a look... [00:21] can i modify the keymapping of a special keyboard (only numbad keyboard)? [00:21] rainwalker, nano is easier for most people [00:21] Pthomas: download the tarball, configure, then make uninstall [00:21] deaddreamer_: need a link on how to compile the lastest rtorrent from subversion? ;) [00:21] administrator: also fail2ban can automatically add ips who consistantly fail to authenticate. [00:21] Tamale: CAn you connect using the terminal? [00:21] I love being able to access the files already on the computer :) [00:21] crimsun: alright thanks [00:21] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" appeared after updating to 7.10 appears something with EVMS.. , thanks. [00:21] nickrud : is there a way to remove all graphic drivers and use only the default ones... Then I'd try to start from scratch! [00:21] rainwalker, but use nano -w so the lines don't wrap [00:21] darx: I was able to connect using sudo dhclient eth0 from the terminal. [00:21] compile?? XD [00:21] hi [00:21] Metal03: how did you install the graphics driver [00:22] hyper__ch, i have been using linux for... 1 day and a half XD [00:22] for some reason I am unable to get into my /ect/apt/sources/list there is nothing there [00:22] working hyper__ch :) [00:22] pici: i just have a list of ips i need to place on block [00:22] toby: it's sources.list [00:22] can someone tell me how I can install firefox ? [00:22] deaddreamer_: time to compile something, don't you think? [00:22] .list [00:22] not sources/list [00:22] hyper__ch, and im sooooo lost XD [00:22] deaddreamer_: btw, the official homepage of rtorrent: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ [00:22] sorry typo [00:22] i have a large xml database i'd like to modify through a text editor. i'm trying to use gedit but it renders each line of text on the the same line before it freezes. what editor can handle large amounts of text? [00:22] what driver should I use? [00:22] asbani: good [00:22] I don't know what I used on Feisty [00:22] Okay, really annoying problem -_-" I have this: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/478/3370&cl=us,en keyboard, and I pressed one of the special buttons on top, which used to work just dandy, but a little window popped up asking whether to use X or GNOME settings because I had apparently changed one of them. I pushed the X button, and now they are broken >< Any way to change it back to GNOME, or the way they are? [00:22] Tamale: As a work around, you could add that line to the file /etc/local.rc that will run the command when ever you log in [00:22] darx ? [00:22] xeer: emacs [00:22] I'll restart PC after that [00:22] deaddreamer_: you'll get used to it [00:22] ok [00:23] :) [00:23] ??/ [00:23] but i guess i'd rather just know why it's not working in the newer version [00:23] seems like a huge mistake? [00:23] good-night [00:23] I have to edit my sources and can't get to them [00:23] <[Soma]> hey. my title bar disappears on all windows when i enable desktop effects. anyone got any idea?

[00:24] Tamale: You could try to read the messages log to see whats happening [00:24] Tamale: the default one in ubuntu [00:24] i want the 1.5.0 version [00:24] darx: which messages? dmesg ?? [00:24] administrator, why tho? [00:24] can i use the windows version in any way? [00:24] administrator, you dont like pidgin? [00:24] asbani: i hate the new version of pidgin i just odnt like it [00:24] you know I am using beryl [00:24] no i dont like it [00:24] are there any backdoors in the kernel or in the ubuntu code that gives NSA or any other organisations accses to the system??? === deaddreamer_ is now known as zZzZdeaddreamer [00:24] Possum: okay, in the backups I've made in the past of my xorg.conf, the driver is listed as "ati" [00:24] administrator, sigh.... why! Its nice [00:24] i had previous problems with it and never had any problems with gaim [00:24] dafoie: Yes, 298 of them. [00:24] dafoie: Of course not. [00:24] <_RadioHead> does k3b or another softweare can burn @ same time in mroe then 2 dvd-rw? [00:25] dafoie: no [00:25] :) [00:25] tonyyarusso how can i be sure of that? [00:25] dafoie: You can check the source for yourself if you wish. [00:25] rainwalker, that sounds about right [00:25] Possum: if that's the driver that was used by default, I don't know why it was all choppy [00:25] Tamale: yup.. or you could view it from the log viewer [00:25] asbani: i just dont like it, personal issue, but id rather have gaim 1.5.0 how do i go about this? [00:25] Does anyone know why I cannot connect to my wifi router without "manual" on the network manager applet....but If I do that, I loose all of the wifi network info on the applet when I left click...help!? [00:25] how to get file source using beryl mgr [00:25] Tamale: did you try poking around with network manager? [00:25] darx: I'll take a look. Thanks. Any links as to how this new network manage is SUPPOSED to work or what it might be borking me over? [00:25] can any one tell me why since upgrading to 7.10, my worles net work randomly cuts out? [00:25] tonyyarusso fair enough. but is there some place on the net wehre people meet to go over all of the code constantly to see if no shody stuff is in it? [00:25] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" appeared after updating to 7.10 appears something with EVMS.. , thanks. [00:25] darx: Yes, I did. [00:25] hi where are the classes [00:25] rainwalker, perhaps the xorg upgrade itself failed? (just a suggestion) [00:25] I was on 'roaming' mode [00:25] at first [00:26] Tamale: it is trying to do what it thinks is best [00:26] so i changed to normal dhcp but it still didn't work [00:26] tonyyarusso what about ubuntu? or conical? have there been any code found that connects ubuntu desktops to NSA? [00:26] Metal03: run restricted-manager , and disable nvidia if it's enabled. Then, aptitude search nvidia-glx , make sure they are all removed. Then, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , and make sure the device driver is nv , not nvidia . Reboot, you're back to standard [00:26] sound error message after upgrade.....audio device is busy?

I have filed a bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-firefox/+bug/155215 . Any ideas? [00:26] dafoie: Or, if you don't know code yourself, you can be assured that someone else would have found it and made an enormous stink about it on Digg and Slashdot already. Within Ubuntu and Linux, there are of course teams of people whose job it is to review code. [00:26] anyone? === generaldarkstar is now known as AndrewEMT [00:26] hello [00:26] Tamale: It works fine for me. I cannot be sure what is the problem that you are having.

[00:27] toby: just google gusty sources.list [00:27] Wolf23: no idea [00:27] tonyyarusso ok fair enough [00:27] thak you [00:27] what would you recommend for desklets? g/adesklets, screenlets? using gnome/gutsy/compiz [00:27] j85wilson: i updated yesterday and this issue disappeared [00:27] I don't get the sound right in djplay, it sounds like with a lot of drop-outs [00:27] Anyone had any issues with automounting of ipods in Gutsy?

[00:28] Can anyone tell me about a downloader videos from youtube for firefox? [00:28] Wolf23: just let the video stream and once it's completed, it'll be in the /tmp directory. It will be most likely the largest file in tmp. copy it somewhere and rename. no need for a special tool :-) [00:28] ok [00:28] darx: http://pastebin.com/m680b7171 [00:28] My ipod mini seems to avoid automounting [00:28] j85wilson: there is a about:config tweak .. i can [00:28] Anyone manage to get Keyboard Volume control keys going in Gutsy? [00:28] darx: it's huge, sorry [00:28] Metal03: In a terminal, type restricted-manager. It will ask for your password, and then give you the option of using the nvidia driver. [00:28] Possum: if the upgrade failed, what would I need to change? [00:28] i can' t remember what though [00:28] shane634: thanks.. I'll google. [00:28] Hey all. Got my problem solved! [00:28] dafoie: Depends largely on the specifics, but if you search the package lists you'll find a few. look for "forensics" and "data recovery" [00:28] PaPaFD: Mine work fine out of the box. [00:28] It was a GRUB problem, nothing wrong with FStab. [00:28] I can't burn CD's with feisty. Do I have to get drivers or something? [00:28] f [00:29] darx: thanx but can u tell me wherw and how please? [00:29] tonyyarusso because i herd that file recovery is suposed to be impossible with ext3 file systems. [00:29] Sve1: what are you using to burn cds? [00:29] Sve1: what program are you using? [00:29] can i expand the swap partition after installation ? [00:29] how can i config ddclient that it actualize my IP in dyndns.org everytime i reboot my rooter? [00:29] AboSamoor: yes [00:29] Tamale: Mine worked under Fiesty but since upgrade they are controling the volume on the microphone I cant switch back to Master [00:29] rainwalker, I suppose what to "change" depends on just how bad the upgrade failed... I guess the _easiest_ solution is to backup /home/ then reinstall, if nothing else works [00:29] dafoie: If you're looking to make it impossible to do so for security, look into encryption. [00:29] Wolf23: Open computer, browse to /tmp it'll be there. Look for the largest file named something like l346dhg or something [00:30] nautilis, rhythmbox, and Serpentine all don't work [00:30] noelferreira, :ez-ipupdate [00:30] shane634 , how i can do that ? [00:30] Metal03: and for the aptitude search, instead use system->admin->synaptic, and ctl-f. use that search to find the nvidia-glx packages, and make sure they are all removed (right click the box next to each for actions) [00:30] PaPaFD: Have you looked under keyboard shortcuts? [00:30] tonyyarusso btw i am in ~/.Trash right now and i wonder how i empty it from cmd line???? [00:30] I can't get my wifi working even after modprobing what I believe to be the correct driver [00:30] AboSamoor: gparted [00:30] Possum: actually, all I need to backup are a few pictures and about 11 gigs of music [00:30] darx: Did you see my dmesg log? [00:30] I'm gonna reinstall Win95 OSR2 [00:30] Possum: but I'd still like to get this fixed [00:30] anyone up to answer some questions about samba ?? [00:30] AboSamoor you may need to check your uuid's as they change if you reformat and change partitions [00:30] Tamale: looking [00:30] darx: awesome, no hurry. thanks. [00:30] rainwalker, I hope that's legal music, otherwise I didn't hear that :P [00:30] My wireless card works. but it won't accept any encryption key I give it. [00:30] dafoie: rm [00:30] :( [00:30] nickrud : k, gonna do this... brb [00:30] tonyyarusso i installed truecrypt. just need to learn how to use it now!

[00:30] darx: open computer on ubuntu? where is the option /tmp [00:30] what would you recommend for desklets? [00:31] tonyyarusso are you good with truecrypt? [00:31] the first part was serioustho :-| [00:31] like are there any good GUI' interfaces for samba ?? [00:31] kst gdesklets is a nice app [00:31] shane634 wirechief but i shall destroy the partition that i shall lend the extra space from ? [00:31] filesystem > /tmp [00:31] rainwalker, yea... I'd say try the apt-get reinstall ubuntu-desktop... may not fix everything, but it's worth a try... :? [00:31] modprobe doesn't seem to install the drivers correctly [00:31] AboSamoor: just back it up first [00:31] dafoie: Never used it - I'm using dm-crypt, which is available in the Gutsy installer. [00:31] Tamale: I set them up in Keyboard shortcuts No change, They still seem to be pointed at the Slider for the Microphone volume in the Playback section. However I have noticed that the Up and Down Arrow keys will control the volume [00:31] anyone knows how to fix this loop on bootup: "device-mapper: table 254-9: linear dm-linear: Device lookup failed" appeared after updating to 7.10 appears something with EVMS.. , thanks. [00:31] darx: yes thanx :) i got it, but the video completely? [00:31] any idea what is most active/developped desklet system dafoie? [00:31] have any of you used yellow dog distro for the ps3 yet? [00:31] anyone try installing Gutsy on a Latitude D830? [00:31] Anyway, just wanted to let everybody know I got Ubuntu back up and running. Thanks to everybody that was helping earlier. [00:31] tonyyarusso how strong is the encryption in that? [00:31] nothing on the ipod? I'm the only one? [00:31] rainwalker, if it doesn't work, you'll just hurt yourself trying to figure out which packages are broken [00:32] !ot | ticnailer69 [00:32] ticnailer69: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:32] kst: I haven't foudn Gdesklets to be a dependable app ... but others might disagree [00:32] dafoie: 256 bit AES key is default [00:32] seamus7: Nope, it's completely unstable for me too. [00:32] * nickrud gags on gaglet [00:32] the forums say that theirs works...by modprobing iwl4965 but I get errors [00:32] tonyyarusso is that as strong as the banks encryption? [00:32] hi all, need help with installing the GUI on Ubuntu 7.10 [00:32] awesome [00:32] tonyyarusso or is theirs stronger? [00:32] Tamale: do you use screenlets ... I'm iffy on those as well. [00:32] dafoie: yes, it's plenty. However, it depends heavily on the strength and length of the passphrase you use. [00:32] Wolf23: let the video stream completely. Then copy it to somewhere and rename it with the extension .flv. you can then play it with vlc [00:32] KyleMc1985, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [00:32] seamus7: Nope, just as bad. [00:32] ok lemme try it [00:33] seamus7: I think the devs for these programs test on about 3 kinds of computers and call it a day. [00:33] tonyyarusso i guess you have to have passwds like this : 252341123S"#¤%!"#osdfasERADFASDF [00:33] Does anyone know a good GUI for samba ?? [00:33] darx: i want to burn it? how can i do this? [00:33] still works there [00:33] so, i have this issue with sleep...it goes down and comes up fine from sleep. the issue is that i've set my lid to be the switch for it to know to sleep and it only goess down for sleep the first time the lid is closed. after that, when i close the lid it stays on but turns off the screen. however, if i log out of X and log back in, it will restart the pattern of sleep-once and then don't till logout...any ideas? [00:33] Tamale: I see ... I just use GKrellM and Avant Window Navigator [00:33] wolflord: what are you trying to do? [00:33] If I set my network manager off roaming, i loose wifi info on the nmapplet [00:33] LiMaO: nautilis, rhythmbox, and Serpentine all don't work [00:33] anyone have problems with an ati x1300 and getting it to play video right? [00:33] might cause him to lose his job [00:33] dafoie: Not necessarily - you can make secure ones that are still easy to remember. [00:33] share files from my xp box to my server [00:34] Okay, So does anyone know why VIM on my Ubuntu install doesn't have certain features it normally does, such as auto-indent, and color of arguments? [00:34] I have installed VIM-full [00:34] tonyyarusso k thanks for all info [00:34] !acrobat [00:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about acrobat - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:34] Tamale: I'm not sure though. But it appears to be a bug http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html#s-high-rename [00:34] !kde [00:34] when i do this command "sudo chown -R reng:reng /media/disk/" where does it save to?? [00:34] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gusty and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [00:34] xanith, install vim-full [00:34] Sve1: have you tried using K3B? [00:34] dafoie: Ubuntu's popularity makes it a target for extreme scrutiny. It's very secure. [00:34] Reng: save what to? [00:34] xanith, oh you have [00:34] Reng: 'save to'? [00:34] Possum: should I try editing my current xorg.conf and change it back to "ati" like all of the others, or should I just leave it alone? [00:34] Sve1: even if you're using gnome, install k3b.. it's the best burning app in my opinion [00:35] hey anyone here know how to to install acrobat === MTecknology_ is now known as MTecknology [00:35] tamale lets hope so. i mean there has been found encrytion files in windows that it turned out has been hooked up to NSA so they can remote control computers [00:35] darx: thanks [00:35] astro76, yes i have, however do i have to do any type of update to get it to use that VIM or does it do it automatically? [00:35] I just reinstalled feisty, so not yet. I've used it before, but it doesn't recognize discs as burnable [00:35] What's the difference between indirect rendering and direct rendering? [00:35] I think direct rendering was the reason compiz was leaking memory. [00:35] BlaenkDenum: what are you trying to do? [00:35] darx: I guess in the meantime i'll run dhclient if network manager fails [00:35] I see that there are serveral GUI's for samba but i want one thats easy to use and easy to setup [00:35] tonyyarusso: install acrobat reader [00:35] darx: but if you know a better way please let me know [00:35] command "sudo chown -R reng:reng /media/disk/" where does command save to? not sure you if you guys understand me [00:35] rainwalker, for just the graphics? yes, try changing it back to ati... what is it currently, radeon? fglrx? [00:35] jburd: direct uses the hardware [00:36] wolflord: I use samba extensively and have never heard of a gui [00:36] BlaenkDenum: Any particular reason evince doesn't work for you? [00:36] wolflord: you have me curious :) [00:36] shane634: Weird. So there is a problem with the hardware?

[00:39] shane634, do you found anything? I saw only the one withing the french forum.. not sure it can help [00:39] tonyyarusso: reason is cause some calculus worksheets aren't displaying correctly on whatever comes default with ubuntu [00:39] shane634: The solution seemed to be disabling Xgl. I guessed that this might be a good idea when glxgears crashed X! firefox scroll is fine now. [00:39] rainwalker, oh also, you shouldn't enable desktop effects unless you're using something like fglrx that can handle it... vesa definitely can't [00:39] heth: not yet hang in there [00:39] im up to like 105 now... [00:39] darx: this looks complicated. I have to make sure it exits with 0 if successful [00:39] KyleMc1985: it should have said how many files, and asked if you really wanted to. [00:39] shane634 ^^ will try smth brb [00:39] j85wilson: nice to hear you fixed it [00:39] it asked if i wanted to but not how many files.

Add your command before that exit 0; The exit 0 is to let the system know that every thing is fine. [00:40] rainwalker, aye, should work, just not with compiz :P [00:40] in firestarter [00:40] where do i place in a list of ips to be blocked?

[00:57] LiMao: I know I can remotly reset the server. We have a bunch of sensors that run on embedded hardware that get weird when they can't connect to the server. It's a weather sensor network, and once they can't connect, you physically have to reset each sensor [00:57] Auslegung: it sounds like you may be looking in the wrong place?

[00:58] tag, just look around, I don'T use it myself, so I can'T check [00:58] hELLO [00:58] Adam_G: that would be no for me...so I guess I'll just leave it [00:58] mrunagi: dont listen to me since you dont comprehend what i explained [00:58] hello livingdaylight [00:58] LiMao: looks like the nerd has to climb tommorow. [00:58] how do i update the list snapshot iwlan scan whatever you want to call it [00:58] bulmer: let it go :) [00:58] Auslegung: just in case they are hidden try pressing control + h when you are browsing the folders to make sure hidden files are shown [00:58] Anyone use Streamtuner ... if so ... is it necessary to install XMMS with it can I use a different media player with the streams? [00:59] troyoz: so, I can access all of my Windows files in Ubuntu, just by mounting the drive? [00:59] rainwalker: ... good luck ;) [00:59] I seem to have broken sound here in Ubuntu 7.10... where should i look to fix that?

[00:59] Pelo, AHA! [00:59] toby I am going to msg you ok? [00:59] i have a problem installing ubuntu linux 7.10 using the live CD [00:59] troyoz: like my OpenOffice files should be able to be copied and pasted? [00:59] ok [00:59] Auslegung: yes especially if you have been using programs like openoffice etc before [00:59] drew, what problem are you having === gribouille is now known as gribouille_ [01:00] troyoz: thank you, I'll try looking harder, have a nice night/day wherever you are [01:00] Auslegung: yes your openoffice files will be able to be opened directly from your mounted windows drive [01:00] the loss of sound is scaring the living Daylights out of me [01:00] Pelo: all was working fine [01:00] toby: answer my msg [01:00] Pelo: and the installation started normally [01:00] livingdaylight: try dmesg | grep audio [01:00] anyone know how to diagnose and fix sound?

[01:03] how do you refresh the list of networks in the networkmanager applet? [01:03] tanner_:http://www.virtualgl.org/About/Introduction [01:03] drew, I recommend you check the cd for error, if it's ok you might want to try the alternate install cd [01:03] Pelo: in this case :) [01:03] does the ubuntu live cd have a defragmenter?

It was too fast to copy, something about can't allocate source of resource <1 - 7> [01:06] shane634, thx mate... easier for me to just reinstall the whole os than google for a driver [01:06] it's done that on two different installs, and it never boots [01:06] I am having a lot of trouble with Two Monitors using the Screens and Graphics tool.

[01:08] toby: it's best to open a graphical app that needs root permissions with the command gksudo rather than sudo .... so for instance GEDIT is a graphical text editor ... you would use 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' to edit it with root privileges .... NANO is a terminal based editor ... use 'sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list' to edit it with root privileges [01:08] Is there anyway to remove the wireless network info stored in the wireless network manager thing?

If USB is connected the light will stop blinking and just turn ON. and for the LINE if i'm online, it'll stop blinki [01:09] ng and keep lightning ON Right? But the thing is both lights are ON now even tho I don't have internet connection, and they both are ON even tho the phone line is not into the modem yet. weird help me pls [01:09] Anyone have dual-monitors configured correctly in the Screens and Graphics tool? [01:09] Pelo is justr tried what you said but it doesnt work, is very weird ... i will try with feisty.... [01:09] like when I plug my usb modem into the computer both lights will turn ON in a second, which shouldn't happen. the Line light should keep blinking until i plug the phone line. [01:09] Pelo: well, i think this may be common, it happened on my desktop computer before and now it happens on my laptop. i configured my network normally like i usually do, and i can ping google.com or any other server form the console but when it comes to browsing it fails. the strange thing is that if i put the google ip in the address bar it works.

Thank you for understanding! [02:06] hi [02:06] Can someone help me with compiling an svn? From what I can tell, I think I'm missing some sort of developer or compiling package, errors are along the lines of "ctype.h: No such file or directory" "stdio.h: No such file or directory" " arpa/inet.h: No such file or directory" [02:06] is there a way to get gaim instead pidgin in Gurtsy ? [02:06] Gutsy even [02:06] timewriter, gaim is no longer being developed. pidgin is gaim under a new name for copyright reasons. === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [02:06] uh oh [02:06] pidgin is ugly and i dont want it [02:06] jessie^^: s/copyright/trademark/ [02:06] is this channel getting rocked or what ? [02:06] here it goes again.. someone is flooding again [02:06] as for the xchat version in Gutsy , is bu8gged [02:06] timewriter try amsn [02:07] CokeNCode➔ looks like it doesnt it [02:07] ops suddenly have nick collisions ... this isn't a good sign at all [02:07] amsn is awful [02:07] Toma-, yes it does! [02:07] pidgin looks almost exacly like gaim [02:07] CokeNCode: of course, i was affected by the CTCPs like everybody else. [02:07] If I do break=premount, /dev/sda3 doesn't exist. [02:07] almost [02:07] pipegeek has lots of features though [02:07] !feeding the troll [02:07] The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. [02:07] and acts different [02:07] Use pot 8001! [02:07] yah [02:07] wow that attack worked on me [02:07] bugged also [02:07] timewriter: You could try giving kopete a shot [02:07] DanaG: this has nothing to do with port 8001 [02:07] is there a gui "info" viewer for ubuntu? [02:07] this means i need to install kde libs [02:07] Does anyone here have a fresh install of feisty? [02:07] and i dont really want them .. [02:08] sorry, LjL ... didn't realise there was a legit reason for the disconnect [02:08] timewriter: I don't like it, but it's quite featureful. And I agree, pidgin is rapidly getting shittier [02:08] niiice [02:08] I like Pidgin [02:08] LjL: is offtopic a better place to talk about it? [02:08] I use it on my windows machine too [02:08] and it looks very bad on my mac osx like dock bar [02:08] pipegeek, what's wrong with pidgin ? [02:08] phixnay: if you really have to... yes [02:08] a purple pidgeon head [02:09] Can someone help me with compiling of an SVN? From what I can tell, I think I'm missing required some libraries or a compiling package. Here's some examples of the errors: "ctype.h: No such file or directory" "stdio.h: No such file or directory" " arpa/inet.h: No such file or directory" [02:09] Jordan_U: i use feisty. and it was fresh installed some while ago. [02:09] still wont work, all the files/dirtories have little locks next to them. [02:09] MaTrIx-X: install build-essential [02:09] timewriter, you realize you can change the icons, right? [02:09] im not too skilled [02:09] build-essential _is_ essential. [02:09] LiMaO, Have you installed many packages? [02:10] Jordan_U: a lot of them =P [02:10] CokeNCode: the developers have decided not to include important, now-standard features because they just don't consider them important enough. I'm thinking particularly of voice/video support, which produced enough annoyance for a fork, which stopped when the gaim people said they'd merge gaim-vv, but then they didn't [02:10] so... wtf happened back there? can someone explain? [02:10] timewriter, it's -easy-. you find the icons you want and extract them to /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin, in the appropriate folders. [02:10] LiMaO, Then you can't help me, thanks for the offer though [02:10] CokeNCode: Also, it's not themeable (outside of gtk themes, which, honestly, just aren't the same thing). I'd like some damned *pretty* on my desktop. [02:10] So, I'm looking at the source code [02:10] the bugs are still there tho [02:10] !exploit | youknowme [02:10] youknowme: There are people around who think it is funny to abuse a bug in certain routers by sending invalid DCC commands. When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit [02:10] pipegeek, my pidgin is themed [02:11] Jordan_U: alright then. but you could say your problem in the channel, maybe someone can help ya, even if they have a long time running system [02:11] Jordan_U: Mine's pretty fresh, a couple days old [02:11] I need a hint on the "right" place to store my mp3s on the filesystem. I want to get them out of my home directory so I don't accidentally delete them. [02:11] jessie^^: I want to be able to do things like I can with adium, where the themes actually rearrange the gui [02:11] Adam, Have you installed many packages? [02:11] arbutus: how about putting them in /usr/local/music or some other direcotry in /usr/local? [02:11] Adam_G, ^^ [02:11] arbutus, unless you have another partition mounted on /media, they really should go under your home directory, just make it read only [02:11] how can i do file sharing on ubuntu server, i want to some space for my file server [02:12] arbutus: create a user and group music:music and store all music in their home directory. add all users who should have access to the music to group music. [02:12] Jordan_U: "dpkg -l | grep "ii" | wc -l" says about 1500 installed packages, although most of them are in the deafult install [02:12] is there a reason why the usplash.conf was changed to 1280 1024 on this release? i thought it always used to be 1024 768 [02:12] Having a weird problem. I just installed 7.10 server and after the reboot, it's bringing me to busybox, and not mounting my / fs. Another friend of my also just installed 7.10 desktop, and it's doing the same thing, but as soon as he picks "install" from the boot menu [02:12] pipegeek, well, I guess that's true, but it's more stable than a lot of the other options, amsn for example [02:12] Hi, I'm running edgy at the moment and I want to upgrade but I'm having issues that I think need resolution before I upgrade. [02:12] sam55, thanks, I guess that's as good a suggestion as any. Or would I want to use something like /usr/local/share/music? What does "share" mean? [02:12] pidgin is about as stable as it gets. [02:12] Can you pastebin your package selections? [02:13] !clone | Adam_G [02:13] Adam_G: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [02:13] CokeNCode: it is certainly stable. It had better damn well be, they haven't added a new feature in years [02:13] It looks substantially the same as it did right after they first switched to gtk2 when I was a sophomore [02:13] is there a gui man page viewer? can i view them in nautilus for example? or can i download a package for gnome? [02:13] Jordan_U: HEy, cool, never knew about that. Give me a minute, I'll get em up [02:13] stdin: That fixed a bunch of the errors. Still getting a couple, "openssl/md5.h: No such file or directory" " openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory" -- and I DO have openssl installed. [02:13] hirak99: you can view 'em in nautilus [02:14] Adam_G, Thanks, hopefully then I will be able to upgrade to Gutsy :) [02:14] MaTrIx-X: the .h files are always in the -dev packages [02:14] hirak99: man:/man1/somethingorother, I think [02:14] MaTrIx-X: is there an openssl-dev package? might need that for the headers, etc. [02:14] arbutus: hmm .. share. Never thought of that, but maybe it could work. THere is a website which explains all these directories' names and their purposes. [02:14] I have a samba server and the windows workstations can't see it through the NetBIOS name. I have it configured to have a netbios name though.. . anyone have an idea? [02:14] you can also get to 'em through the gnome help system [02:14] Firstly, I have a stranger issue with xserver - namely, if I log out, I get a weird scrambled display for a few seconds then it goes back to normal, and if I switch between tty consoles, it will get scrambled and then the screen will be unresponsive. (it goes black and won't change until I reboot) [02:14] is there an off topic ubuntu channel? [02:14] pipegeek, that's true. I think it's good to have something that you can rely on tho, without all the extra bells and whistles. It's just that no one has come up with the flashy alternative [02:14] !offtopic [02:14] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:14] so basically, we have a windows messenger (pidgin) , but no live messenger [02:14] thanks [02:14] sam55, I was just going to ask if there was such a web site. Do you know the link that explains the purpose of each directory? [02:15] CokeNCode➔ live messenger? [02:15] hirak99, System -> help and support [02:15] Toma-, well ... msn messenger ... live messenger ... whatever you wanna call it [02:15] the pretty one [02:15] CokeNCode: I agree it's good to have something that you can count on to work. However, this degree of conservatism is very frustrating, because there are *no alternatives*. They don't seem to understand that they are maintaining *the* general purpose gnome IM client [02:15] http://www.nabble.com/Ubuntu-7.10-Install-error-BusyBox:-initramfs-Exception-Emask:-New-User-Help-t4658177.html is exactly what is happening to me. [02:15] CokeNCode➔ amsn is rather pretty... has webcam and audio chat too [02:15] amsn is still gtk1, I think [02:15] which is annoying [02:15] amsn is written in wish [02:15] ooh [02:15] Toma-, but amsn crashes like nobody's business [02:15] arbutus: I think this is it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard [02:15] I fail [02:16] nobody knows? [02:16] CokeNCode➔ *Works for Me* [02:16] CokeNCode➔ let me grab you something, hold on [02:16] sorry to talk out in the middle of a discussion, but I need to handle something [02:16] brb [02:16] Toma-, lucky you, but that doesn't make it any less glitchy [02:16] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ca/raw/746200 I have a fair number of -dev packages, BTW, but nothing too weird [02:16] automat: libssl-dev did the trick on those .h errors. Continuing now [02:16] Jordan_U, thanks [02:16] hirak99, np [02:16] ... is ctrl+alt+backspace supposed to reboot or restart x? because it just rebooted my laptop [02:16] CokeNCode➔ you might be happy to know its getting re-written in a prettier, and smaller code [02:17] Adam, Have you installed anything outside of the default repositories? [02:17] is there a reason why the usplash.conf was changed to 1280 1024 on this release? i thought it always used to be 1024 768 [02:17] unless my keys are mapped freaky === Yancho is now known as YanchoAWY [02:17] Toma-, thank God. It looks hideous on my computer, makes a heap of suspicious and dangerous looking connections, and runs like garbage. [02:17] CokeNCode➔ I used this to get amsn working right. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297676 [02:17] sam55: good link! [02:17] drama1981: make it what you want in /etc/usplash.conf [02:17] even now [02:18] Adam_G, Have you installed anything outside of the default repositories? [02:18] amsn wouldn't show up in the panel when I minimized it [02:18] Jordan_U: Yes, emacs-snapshot-gtk uses that "pretty emacs" package, but other than that my sources.list is untouched [02:18] annoying as hell [02:18] and that's immediately after i updated to 7.10 and ran it for the first time [02:18] jrib well i just asked becuase i notice alot of people are getting monitor out of range warnings and no usplash until they change it [02:18] thanks To [02:18] Toma-, [02:18] Anyone? Just installed 7.10 server and it's going to busybox after the reboot (http://tinyurl.com/2zqzwh). [02:19] CokeNCode➔ np. if u wanna chat more about it, meet me in #ubuntu-offtopic [02:19] drama1981: I'm pretty sure it is supposed to detect what it should be === mrunagi_ is now known as unagi [02:19] hey guys just upgraded to kubuntu 7.10 and isntalled compiz but i cant seem to find the compiz icon to switch window managers, any ideas? [02:19] fiXXXerMet, do "sudo apt-get install libssl-dev" [02:20] why is it that I always have to start a Administrative task twice for it to actually ask me for my password? [02:20] Is there anyway I can use the package manager to find out what package contains this file: libdrm.so.2 [02:20] MaTrIx-X: I can't, because I can't get to console - goes to busybox and doesn't have much to play with. [02:20] hi [02:20] !apt-file > Clearzen (read the private message from ubotu) [02:20] jrib ahh ic. maybe thats why it was always at 1024 768 for me before then (thats highest my lcd will do). must be a bug [02:20] Clearzen: you can also use packages.ubuntu.com [02:21] ok ihave a question where is my line in and how come I can't hear anything from mic or line in? [02:21] does grub in 7.10 require vga codes other than the normal 788, 791, etc.? i keep getting an unsupported vga mode on boot. [02:21] jrib: I think you just saved my a lot of pain and a few hours of my time, thanks [02:21] lee986321 is it enabled in the mixer and audio subsystem? [02:22] why does my volume control no longer show the Digital slider like it did when I was last logged on? [02:22] anyone having problems with windows shares in gutsy? [02:22] automat, this is bug in the kernel ... no vga params work [02:22] ok [02:22] quick question from a new ubuntu user... trying to get sounds in firefox to play through my sound card and not through the motherboard sound [02:22] can you guys see this msg from me? Hello? [02:22] Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" [02:22] Question: I have a fresh install of gutsy, i want to back it up now so that if I screw it up, I can restore from the back up. I have yet to ever find good backup/restore instructions for ubuntu. can anyone help me with this? [02:22] i've got sounds in all other applications playing through the sound card [02:22] whats the other option? For mouse. [02:22] CHMEarl: thanks. any idea if this is fixable with a recompile and alternate vesa/vga drivers? [02:23] yeah lines enabled and in the capture the mic as is the spoeaker not muted and its the smae in the Mux.. [02:23] i need different option for my mouse, anybody know it? [02:23] i forgot it [02:23] automat, yes fixable... I have not done it thought [02:23] Mauriciobc: windows shares work fine here. [02:23] asbani: depends on what mouse it is [02:24] automat, I know there is 3 options in this frame, I have mine set to "ImPS/2" [02:24] Can someone recommend a good ident server which is easy to configure? [02:24] can you tell me the other two? cuz i know it, but i forget it [02:24] CHMEarl: i'll just refrain from rebooting. not worth the hassle. thanks for the info. [02:24] lee986321 your on gutsy right? ive heard about alot of audio probs with gutsy. some half working some not at all === mrunagi_ is now known as mrunagi [02:24] yeah I am on gutsy [02:24] <`eric-> hey, anyone know why my "bottom" panel, keeps jumping to the top (under the menu panel) every reboot -- in order to get it back on bottom i have to go to properties select "expand" then select "bottom" then unselect "expand" [02:24] 64 bit [02:24] <`eric-> it's rather annoying [02:24] Question: I have a fresh install of gutsy, i want to back it up now so that if I screw it up, I can restore from the back up. I have yet to ever find good backup/restore instructions for ubuntu. can anyone help me with this? [02:24] asbani: and what's the problem you're having? [02:24] lee986321 what soundcard? [02:24] quick question from a new ubuntu user... trying to get sounds in firefox to play through my sound card and not through the motherboard sound [02:24] i've got sounds in all other applications playing through the sound card [02:24] automat, my 6th and 7th buttons arent working, I know if i change that option they'll work [02:25] automat, man just give me the other option.. what are they :/ [02:25] just a sec drama1981 [02:25] so what's up with the whole setting of Nick passwords and stuff? [02:25] Guys, I can't see my windows box shares in nautilus. I have entered smbtree in terminal and returned my shared tree right! Anyone else having this problem? [02:26] sigamtell, and its built in to the pc there is no removing it lol [02:26] Question: I have a fresh install of gutsy, i want to back it up now so that if I screw it up, I can restore from the back up. I have yet to ever find good backup/restore instructions for ubuntu. can anyone help me with this? [02:26] how do i login as root? [02:26] automat, i found it, nvm "ExplorerPS/2" [02:26] <`eric-> hey, anyone know why my "bottom" panel, keeps jumping to the top (under the menu panel) every reboot -- in order to get it back on bottom i have to go to properties select "expand" then select "bottom" then unselect "expand" [02:26] !root | linux_ [02:26] linux_: 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 [02:26] how do i login as root? [02:26] Can someone make sense of "svn: warning: '.' is not a working copy" for me? [02:26] lee986321 ill brb let me see what i can find out [02:26] linux_, sudo -s [02:26] Mauriciobc: yeah sometimes that happens to me [02:26] !root > linux_ (read the private message from ubotu) [02:27] ok drama1981 [02:27] How can I get Digital audio out to work on 7.10? [02:27] wow [02:27] ubuntu 7.10 is AWESOME [02:27] power78, Is it unmuted in alsamixer? [02:27] what an improvement! [02:27] Nubbie: In Feisty this never happened! Now in Gutsy I can't connect [02:27] quick question from a new ubuntu user... trying to get sounds in firefox to play through my sound card and not through the motherboard sound [02:27] i've got sounds in all other applications playing through the sound card [02:27] im in love [02:27] Jordan_U: It doesnt even show up, but it did a few logins ago [02:27] Mauriciobc: nah it's always been an issue for me. [02:27] with ubuntu 7.10 LINUX IS PRIME TIME! [02:27] Identd recommendation anyone? [02:28] one more linux release, and damn, linux will be way better than vista [02:28] Banker: linux has been great for the last 4 years for me. [02:28] nubbie: Not for me [02:28] i still used windows [02:28] !better | Banker [02:28] with 7.10 its A HUGE IMPROVEMENT [02:28] Banker: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [02:28] nubbie: could you perhaps make sense out of "svn: warning: '.' is not a working copy"? [02:28] i just upgraded to 7.10 [02:28] su does not work [02:28] su does not work [02:28] my internet is fast and it upgraded beautifully [02:28] Banker: IMO linux has been surpassing windows for a while now. but this is off topic. [02:28] linux_, Read the pages we have linked to [02:28] linux_: why do you need to login as root? [02:29] lee986321 thats who makes the chip but its actually got intel sound right? [02:29] linux_, try sudo -i [02:29] Any reason why the digital slider would be gone from the Volume Control? [02:29] nubbie: Took me maybe 20 minutes tops to install and download 7.10 as an upgradE :) [02:29] it worked awesome [02:29] linux_: if you dont know how to login as root, you probably shouldnt be logging in as root to begin with [02:29] anyone got a good (read easy to use) DVD burning program [02:29] nubbie: with the older version the boot time was super slow [02:29] nothing [02:29] brasero @ localgod11 [02:29] true that fastz_ [02:29] nubbie: Im happy now :) [02:29] yes drama1981 all 8 channels are in working order [02:29] linux_: have you read the link ubotu gave you? [02:30] I'm trying to install a patched ALSA to get my sound working. I need to remove alsa-utils, but if I do that then it breaks GDM. How can I force GDM to stay? (I'm not interested in using startx right now. :) ) [02:30] jburd: isnt that for data dvds? [02:30] power78, When you said it was gone from alsamixer were you really taking about the GUI volume settings widget or 'alsamixer' in a terminal? [02:30] Woo! I can actually change channels in irssi now :) [02:30] localgod11: if dvd video is what you seek, look for DeVeDe [02:30] :D [02:30] :) [02:30] Jordan_U: The GUI, it was listed there before but now its not and the sound it clearly not digital [02:31] anybody encounter network packet loss with Gutsy? (Not DNS problems, although DNS isn't particularly happy about packet loss either) [02:31] cellofellow, The most debian way would be to build a patched debian package for alsa-utils [02:31] power78, Try running 'alsamixer' in a terminal [02:31] spacewrench: nobody else here is using your internet connection. your internet must be buggy. [02:31] I'm not sure what's up, because I'm actually patching alsa-lib. But there isn't even an alsa-lib package in the repositories. [02:31] Jordan_U: It looks the same as the GUI, it's not listed. I swear it was there last time or so I was logged in [02:32] quick question from a new ubuntu user... trying to get sounds in firefox to play through my sound card and not through the motherboard sound [02:32] cellofellow: its included in another package most likely.

[02:37] Would someone like to remind me what the best way is to do the font-config reconfiguration bit? [02:37] DHCP [02:37] <`eric-> Nubbie: my stupid gnome-panel is twitching on me.. it won't stay on the bottom.. every time i reboot it pops back to the top (right under the menu panel)... [02:37] Nubbie, ntfs is better :P [02:38] oh and I changed over to Ubuntu [02:38] !ntfs-3g | KI4IKL [02:38] KI4IKL: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [02:38] hello all [02:38] Nevermind, I remembered how to do it. Thanks, anyway! [02:38] I have the Cube lol [02:38] KI4IKL: NTFS is an abomination. [02:38] Jordan_U, I just said I already ahve the ntfs driver :) [02:38] KI4IKL, Though it should be installed by default in Gutsy [02:38] Jordan_U, mplayer doesn't resize actually, when I use full-screen, I get only black borders. === samuel-away is now known as samuel [02:38] KI4IKL, Just because you have the driver does not mean that you have the correct udev rules [02:38] what would be the possible causes of launching an X app from gnome-terminal showing no titlebar or borders? [02:38] unless it cant star acceleration [02:38] <`eric-> awn works well w/ gutsy? [02:38] Jordan_U, I tried changing the driver used, but I don't have 3D rendering so I can't use GL [02:38] Jordan_U: you don't need the ntfs-3g drivers to mount a NTFS drive. [02:38] hi [02:38] unless i'm missing something [02:39] Fixed my server problem by doing update-initramfs -k kernelversion -c [02:39] ive got a huge problem [02:39] what is the commad to view all my posts/logs? [02:39] what's the command to move an entire directory? [02:39] Nubbie, You do if you want to write to it :) [02:39] However, that was for an already-installed server. For the desktop cd, before it even finishes booting (I choose install from the menu), I get the same problem [02:39] in xchat === prabs is now known as prabs[bbl] [02:39] you have to do say if you need a ati driver or something [02:39] !mv [02:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about mv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:39] Bax: mv -R I think [02:39] ty [02:39] lee986321 it appears to be a bug in alsa http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=347081&highlight=hda+intel+recording [02:39] Does XMMS have the ability to export an HTML playlist like Winamp does? [02:39] * r0bby will google [02:39] don't think so. [02:40] i haven't seen any plugins for it :/ [02:40] ?

[02:40] when i login over nx (nx free edition, not freenx), i get a gnome error asking me to delete the trash applet.. wtf? [02:40] * cellofellow thinks that Gutsy has a rotten version of ALSA and needs to upgrade soon, and include the patch for my chipset. [02:40] jerbear: the trash applet is crashing, just click reload. [02:41] cellofellow: you and me both, for some reason they took out intel-HD audio support [02:41] can someone explain to me why i cant delete preferred wireless networks and update the list in the manager applet? [02:41] lee986321 some have gotten it to work but it appears most have not. it looks like there are some good links in that post though that may help [02:41] ive deleted some images by accident... ive unmounted the drive where these files were, any chance there is an undelete program somewhere i can use to batch recover a whole bunch of images? my whole photo collection was there!!! [02:41] I've just added a hd that has a linux system that i want to get some files from. How do I get this HD to show up in the file explorer? [02:41] can someone help me with mounting my osx hfs+ partition [02:41] Nubbie: it doesn't ask me to reload... delete, don't delete... it never used to do this. it's also doing the same thing for the system monitor, volume control, and deskbar applets [02:41] samuel, Not much chance with ext3 :( [02:41] yeah reading it drama1981 [02:41] Jordan_U: you are joking right? [02:41] slvmchn: well, since about Dapper there has been a bug in launchpad for my HDA SigmaTel combination, and even fixes posted, but no fix in the distro. [02:42] samuel, No [02:42] please tell me you are joking [02:42] dammit [02:42] thats like 2 years of photos!!! [02:42] samuel: what happened? [02:42] cellofellow: was it hard to get it working? i have the HDA sigmatel and am googling a lot [02:42] i found a fix i think, but it involves compiling my own kernel with the proper modules [02:42] samuel: were they physically deleted? they might be stuck in a .trash_Samuel somewhere or something. [02:42] there were no XP drivers even, i can only get sound in vista, but ubuntu 64-bit works on this laptop, i just have to do this sigmatel fix [02:42] i have the two hfsplus apps and under gparted it says unformated [02:43] slvmchn: I'm still working on it. I've found a couple fixes for some RPM-based distros. (One Fedora, one PCLinuxOS) and am having trouble getting that to play well with APT. [02:43] slvmchn: Gonna try to figure out apt-src stuff. [02:43] anyone? [02:43] Nubbie: i reinstalled ubuntu, gutsy... and i deleted everything by accident to do a new backup of my files, then i forgot to do the backup b4 i installed ubuntu [02:44] they were rm -rV [02:44] Why would some lvm partitions be missing from the /dev directory? [02:44] samuel: ouch... [02:44] They're in /dev/mapper [02:44] But not in /dev/$VOLUME_GROUP/ [02:44] cellofellow slvmchn have a read here. may help. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller [02:44] hey, how can I change the font fom wine? already added some fonts to .wine/drivec/windows/fonts [02:44] `recover` works on ext2fs partitions, but I don't really know how useful you may find it. [02:45] drama1981: yeah, but what of the un-working SigmaTel 92xx driver? [02:45] I've just added a hd that has a linux system that i want to get some files from. How do I get this HD to show up in the file browser (ubuntu)? [02:46] cellofellow stac9205 you mean? [02:46] Is there a way to have Ubuntu redetermine my audio capabilities? [02:46] what's the command to move a directory into another directory? [02:46] Chris7mas: reboot? use a live cd? [02:46] mine's stac9200 actually [02:46] Chris7mas: mount it?

[02:47] They're under /dev/mapper/ [02:47] cellofellow well may not work then but it does talk about stac9205 and partial SigmaTel 9205 [02:47] is there anything in the UI i can use ? or is that a shell program [02:47] Who wants to see something really funny: http://mickens.us/evenbetter.png [02:48] ChrisC36, You can use the mount command [02:48] drama1981: hardware: Gateway MT3423, NVIDIA MCP51 Intel-HDA, SigmaTel STAC9200. [02:48] it does involve rebuilding alsa-modules though from what ive read so far [02:48] no theme manager for gutsy? [02:48] jimmygoon: I've got similar "funny" stuff too. [02:48] mount command where is it? are you talking in the shell? [02:48] what's the terminal command to move a directory into another directory?

[02:49] DARKGOTH: #ubuntu-es [02:49] Bax, mv dir dir [02:49] I have just upgraded to version 7.10, and since then, my CPU is 100% in use constantly, would someone have a clue on what is happening? [02:49] jtt: won't that overwrite the other directory? [02:49] limp: run "top" in a terminal [02:49] ok question my icons in menus are default in 7.10 what do i need to change? [02:49] is there a way to clear the synaptic cache? [02:49] limp: Open the system monitor and sort the columns by cpu usage. [02:50] limp: Open a terminal and type top. Tell us which process is taking the most resources [02:50] limp: Offhand, it's probably tracker. (indexer for the search tool) [02:50] since I upgraded, this has happened twice. I press Ctrl-T in firefox, to open a new tab, and I get ~100 new tabs all opening at once [02:50] my wireless stopped working about 4 weeks ago, i'm running fiesty on a laptop using ndiswrapper. can anyone help? [02:50] bax no not if it is a directory already i.e. mv /junk /junk2 [02:50] tracker or compiz. [02:50] drjay, What chipset? [02:50] Xorg seems to be using all of it [02:50] limp: oh yeah, if it's tracker, it's nothing to worry about. it has to work overtime to index your files for the first time. [02:50] drama1981: I found this (for Fedora) http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=868053 and this (for PCLOS) http://zder.net/ [02:50] it's the broadcom43xx, not sure exactly which card [02:50] eww. [02:50] limp: it uses to be the document indexer [02:51] <`eric-> WOW. I love the new transparency... it actually shows the windows beneath rather than just the desktop :) amazing. [02:51] Nubbie, oh ok, thanks :) [02:51] ok its saying that the HD should be mounted automatically when I rebooted, but I don't see it in the file browser. where would i find the new hd and its partitions? [02:51] bax try is with two dummy diretorys if you are unsure [02:51] drjay, Did you already try the native drivers before installing ndiswrapper? [02:51] limp: it's the same deal with beagle or google desktop. [02:51] !wireless > jburd [02:51] has anyone used sun's project looking glass? is that a possibility? [02:51] no, however the problem I am having now is that the wireless connection doesn't even show up in the network manager. [02:51] cellofellow: google desktop.... for linux? [02:52] Is there a way to specify which server I pull from when upgrading from Feisty to Gusty? [02:52] patricknev, It looks as beautiful as any other Java application... [02:52] Nubbie: yeah, it's been around for a few months. No Sidebar, but the search is there. I used it on my other computer, works OK. [02:52] Nubbie: yeah [02:52] <`eric-> Jordan_U: should i install avant-window-navigator or avant-window-navigator-bzr ? [02:52] Thanks all, I was just worried ^.^ Does someone also know what happened to the apache.conf file? It has changed and I can't find the charset config anymore [02:52] gumby600m: if you've set up your location information, it should pull from your country's local servers. [02:52] `eric-, No idea [02:52] Jordan_U: so it works well? [02:52] `eric-: you want somewhat-stable, or brand new features? [02:52] anyone have nx free edition running on gutsy? === Jannitax is now known as Jannita [02:52] <`eric-> cellofellow: stable. [02:52] <`eric-> as possible. [02:53] `eric-: then forgo the bzr stuff. [02:53] jerbear: ask a specific question, you'll get a specific answer. [02:53] patricknev, It's slow ugly and not very usable, but I guess it didn't crash :) [02:53] Nubbie: Where do I specify my location info? [02:53] haha [02:53] <`eric-> cellofellow: and the svn stuff, right? just get avant-window-navigator and awn-core-applets [02:53] Nubbie: i've asked a specific question.. nothing [02:54] is bash part of gnu? [02:54] here's one from earlier... Nubbie: it doesn't ask me to reload... delete, don't delete... it never used to do this. it's also doing the same thing for the system monitor, volume control, and deskbar applets [02:54] `eric-: Subversio (svn) and Bazaar (bzr) are both version control systems that will always have the brand-newest version. [02:54] jarrod_: yes. [02:54] <`eric-> cellofellow: thanks :) [02:54] jerbear: ther probably is somebody here who uses free nx. [02:54] jarrod_: it's at the core of the GNU userspace utils. [02:54] Nubbie: Nevermind, I found it.... under "Software Sources" [02:54] Jordan_U: recommend I try the native drivers? [02:54] is anyone else getting a 404 on the firefox updated for gutsy? [02:55] jtt, worked, sorry for doubting you [02:55] bax sure anytime [02:55] drama1981: I'll brb. PM me anything you find. [02:55] Nubbie: like i said, it's not freenx, it's nx free edition [02:55] polp [02:55] i just watched a 1:25 hr documentry "Revolution OS" and now I will no longer say linux but gnu/linux :D [02:55] blah, too complicated [02:55] drjay, Depends on the exact chipset, what is the output of "lspc | grep Broadcom" ?

[03:01] ChrisC36, im trying to get an existing raid mounted but having no luck at all [03:01] Karark|away: people will start ignoring you more if you keep that attitude up. nobody in here is paid to listen to that, and nobody needs to tolerate it. if you expect anything from this channel you should act courteously.

[03:04] Rent-2-Pwn on a new system? I suggest boot to the 'alternate install' cd, and in the partition tools you can manage the raids and the partitions [03:04] eyeRmonkey: if you keep /home on its own partition you dont have to worry about backing that up [03:04] mneptok: i try to do ./autoconfig.sh and i get an error about gllib missing [03:04] jtt I have done some command line stuff [03:05] If I boot the -14 kernel with break=premount, I find that /dev/sda* don't exist.

Alternatives are KDE... and XFCE... and others [03:07] ChrisC36, then execute lshw |less in a terminal window and search for ide if you drive type is ide r u familiar with vi editor searching if so less has similar type searching when you find ide go down a few lines and it will have the /dev ie.e /dev/sdb that is your second drive then you have to manually mount it [03:07] sata raid mounting help PLZ [03:07] can I force a hardware redetect somehow?

[03:10] sata raid mounting help plz [03:10] bignickmetro: could it be bad burn? [03:10] thank you [03:10] bignickmetro: have you tried, say, burning at lower rate, and checking the MD5 of the ISO? [03:10] ChrisC36, then searching in less for ide will find it [03:10] <`eric-> how do i change the default icon for firefox? [03:10] bignickmetro: if that should fail, perhaps the alternative CD? [03:10] i checked the CD for errors using the boot menu option, it tested fine [03:11] jimmygoon, it'd take me a while to boot in and back to xp. I'm not up for that tonight.

[03:12] lostnoob, that would imply that you don't have a (recognized) wireless card [03:12] nam [03:12] will try to reboot [03:12] I just updated to 7.04 and now when I log in I get this error message "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon." Rebooting the machine has no effect on this. Google hasn't helped. IS there a quick fix for this problem? [03:12] brb [03:12] i just selected Live or Install, and i get the orange loading bar for a while, then i get a User not known to the underlying authentication module error. I seem to get different errors every single time [03:12] jimmygoon, the wireless card (ipw2200) was working fine until the wired connection [03:12] ChrisC36, well, do you know if /dev/hda has more than one slice i.e.. hda1 hda2 etc. [03:12] lostnoob, I would suggest plugging it in long enough to make sure you have every update install.... then I would check System->administration->networking and poke around in their [03:12] 7.10 and Qtstalker are bad.. :( does anyone else have this issue?

[03:13] I just installed "Sylpheed" from the repos, and cant find it in the Applications list! [03:13] lostnoob, that's strange. the only thing I know of that ever makes a wireless card disappear is kernel updates without the kernel-restricted-modules updates... which is what lets ubuntu know about your card [03:13] jtt its showing the ide drive as /dev/hda, and the dvd drive as /dev/hdb [03:13] yeah ill try reburning slow speed. I never had this problem with SUSE a few years ago. [03:13] lostnoob, I know, if you get that update, it may make it show up again [03:13] jtt it was a linux drive [03:13] sata raid mounting help plz [03:13] HOw does one get an RTL8187 WLAN card working with gutsy? [03:13] I badly want to blame the POS comp im loading it on [03:13] Should I be using ndiswrapper? [03:13] ChrisC36, was the whole drive used for linux [03:13] jtt i could no longer boot to it, so I ended up buying 2 new satas and installing ubuntu (the old one was centos) [03:13] lostnoob, honestly, just plugging in the wire won't make it disappear, but that kernel w/o restrictedmodules will.... it has to me in the past.... [03:13] jtt - yes [03:14] jbur1: if the native drivers do not work then sure [03:14] argh I need some help [03:14] ChrisC36, then take a guess and execute this command mount /dev/hda1 /mnt [03:14] jimmygoon, can't I just force a redetect? eth1 got disabled during the wired connection but something isn't recognizing it now [03:14] !ask === Banker is now known as ciddy [03:14] Don't ask to ask a question.

[03:15] lostnoob, heh, ubuntu detects stuff... as it is there.... lostnoob, unless you are seeing an error message somewhere else, or have some other info, the only idea I know of is to upgrade your restricted modules to/for your kernel [03:15] it keeps saying that, even after i rebooted after a flash non free install [03:15] lostnoob, I have no idea what else would cause it to disappear... [03:15] scguy318: there's a few more files doing, that, so I'm moving them also [03:15] scguy318: mozilla firefox, 7.10 ubuntu, i686 [03:16] jtt ok i did that .. [03:16] Hi guys, I want gutsy, so will I need to update or have to start new install? [03:16] lostnoob, I would recommend "sudo ifconfig" to see if there is an unconfigured wireless card that has errors or something, but I would really really really bet that it has to do with that kernel modules bit :S [03:16] jtt - yes it appears to succeed [03:16] Alloos1: your choice :) [03:16] Alloos1, Yes [03:16] scguy318: I installed the adobe non free packages, but its not working when i go to www.grandcentral.com [03:16] heys guys , any idea why in gutsy my volume keeps magically changing when i am listening music [03:16] or wathing video [03:16] ChrisC36, now do ls /mnt and see if your files r there [03:17] lostnoob, if you wanted you could even get the packages while you're in XP and then put them on a jump drive and install them when you boot back into linux or put them on a shared partition that xp and ubuntu can access, etc etc if thats a problem [03:17] woohoo!

[03:18] the_blur, you don't.

It has to be 96x96 and less than 8 kb... experiment in GIMP [03:18] what's a mount flag> [03:18] ? [03:18] the_blur, writing to NTFS from a linux system is a very bad idea [03:18] I got the Live CD, and installed Ubuntu (as I've done in the past on other computers). I went to System > Administration > restricted drivers managers. I enabled my video card driver (an ATI card dun dun duuunnn), and restarted so it would take effect. When I restarted, things weren't working correctly, so I entered "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" into the terminal, I was told it would help. Then I followed those steps correctly, bu [03:18] lostnoob, I really don't :S [03:18] why? [03:18] riotkittie, Yes, I got a set from someone with many extra packages that I am trying now, I would still apreciate a fresh list though :) [03:18] ChrisC36, execute umount /mnt [03:18] ciddy: you using, dunno, NoScript or something that blocks Flash? [03:18] could it kill my ntfs disk? [03:18] jimmygoon, i'm on an otherwise fresh 7.10 install. thanks for the help though [03:18] i could watch something on youtube without adobe flash [03:18] cdm10: Alright I will experiment. I just want to make the image still viewable when I shrink it. [03:18] scguy318 no its a fresh 7.10 install [03:19] ciddy: how was that possible? [03:19] the_blur: no [03:19] merula: its kinda stable now. [03:19] the_blur, but if you really have to, you're right. It's bad because the OS doesn't know how to write to NTFS tables. You could royally screw over your HD with it. [03:19] Question does anyone know how I can get the additional compiz plugins not included by default in Gutsy ? [03:19] scguy318: so after moving all the files that had problems, I ran Update Manager and got this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41781/ .. should I give that a try also? [03:19] ChrisC36, then execute echo 'p' | fdisk /dev/hda and tell me what prints [03:19] Nubbie, when did that go through? ^_^ [03:19] jimmygoon, the restricted extras wouldn't cause this would they?

[03:19] cdm10: I mean the plugins not listed in ccsm -- extra plugins, like snow and such which are not listed [03:19] thx1137: try the sudo apt-get install -f [03:19] Capa1: I think there's one plugins package available in the repositories, but it doesn't really add much... just search synaptic for compiz [03:19] lostnoob, the codecs? noooo [03:19] Nobody has any idea what to do? Please guys, I really need help.

Close FF, hit alt-f2, and type < firefox -safemode > [03:24] i have an installation question [03:24] well, when i try and install ubuntu 7.10 amd64 version, i get up to the point where its like a check list with [OK]'s on the right then after that i hear my HD crank for about 10 seconds then i just get a blank screen [03:24] Jordan_U: yes. so fresh it hasnt even applied updates D: want me to dcc you the output?

I enabled my video card driver (an ATI card dun dun duuunnn), and restarted so it would take effect. When I restarted, things weren't working correctly, so I entered "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" into the terminal, I was told it would help. Then I followed those steps correctly, bu [03:25] riotkittie, Yes please [03:25] scguy318: alright, it finally finished: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41783/ [03:25] hold one sec [03:25] ChrisC36, md2 is slice 2 of your meta disk lvm [03:25] or slice 3 not sure [03:25] clayton: your message got cut off, re-send in 2 messages [03:25] cdm10 not working in safemode either [03:25] jtt its saying unable to open /dev/hdd [03:25] what is the warning on the Ubuntu 7.10 installation regarding NETWORKING about? i installed it and had no network access... how come 7.10 doesnt auto-configure an existing cable connection like 7.04 and lower did? [03:25] Ah, thanks for telling me [03:25] I got the Live CD, and installed Ubuntu (as I've done in the past on other computers). I went to System > Administration > restricted drivers managers. I enabled my video card driver (an ATI card dun dun duuunnn), and restarted so it would take effect. When I restarted, things weren't working correctly, so I entered "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" into the terminal, I was told it would help. Then I followed those steps correctly, bu [03:26] ciddy: okay, try < firefox -profile-manager > (it may be profilemanager, try both. [03:26] When I tried to get into that I got this HP recoery thing, and then followed the steps to recover my computer. Now I can't get into either, I don't even get the bootloader. In fact, the only way for me to use this computer now is with the Ubuntu live cd. So please, Ubuntu geniuses, I want to know how I can get back my Xp stuff (the program files and such are still there), or at least get a working copy of Ubuntu. By the way, this is with [03:26] ChrisC36, hold on let me check something [03:26] thx1137: try sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/{libpam0g,pam-modules,libpam-runtime}*.deb [03:26] riotkittie, Or pastebin [03:26] has anyone get a screen resolution higher than 1024x768 @ 60Hz [03:26] clayton: so, you want your Windows bootloader back... hold on a sec [03:26] I guess this is the place for Ubuntu questions? I have a problem I havent seen anyone else talk about yet. When I enable desktop effects, I not only can't get my window boarders back, but my terminal only displays as a blank white square. Have I missed something? [03:26] hey yo, having routing problems with openvpn, anyone think they can help? [03:26] cdm10 ok now what? [03:26] k [03:26] ciddy: create a new profile and try that. [03:26] hey i have a 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M890 [Chrome9] Integrated Video (rev 01)..... can i do direct rendering/ and if so how? [03:26] amcollie, Many people including myself, just ask your question [03:27] cdm10: I want to be able to get into Xp, or even just for Ubuntu to work. [03:27] jtt when i mount something, shouldnt i be able to browse from the GUI as well? [03:27] Is xgl the thing that makes the cube effect? or is it aiglx? [03:27] clayton: hold on, searching :) [03:27] uhoh. is it not sending? :o [03:27] Can any of you tell me why my CUSTOM init scripts i added [03:27] IS NOT WORKING [03:27] Cause I cant find it int the repos [03:27] It's in the proper format [03:27] And everything [03:27] Necrosan: define not working [03:27] and if ran manually it works just fine. [03:27] !enter | Necrosan [03:27] Necrosan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:27] clayton, if you have a windows disk handy, put it in, when it loads hit r to go to recovery console, once you get a command prompt type: fixmbr and your windows should boot, afterwards you can follow the guide for recovering grub after a windows install (assuming you are planning on dual booting) [03:27] It doesn't run on boot. [03:27] cdm10 nope doesnt work [03:27] ciddy: what happens when you go there? [03:27] scguy318: ok, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41785/ [03:27] Necrosan: man update-rc.d [03:28] Does anyone know the bot factoid for fixing windows boot? [03:28] It's chmod'd right, symlinked into rc2.d, rc3.d, rc4.d and rc5.d [03:28] ChrisC36, cant answer that as i am strictly command line person dont use gui at all [03:28] cdm10 i get the profile box [03:28] thank you MasterShrek [03:28] Necrosan: that will teach you how to start the command properly [03:28] uhh [03:28] I did that dude [03:28] It still doesn't run [03:28] !enter | Necrosan [03:28] Necrosan: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [03:28] oh ok thanks Jordan_U, any answers yet [03:28] Necrosan, what kind of custom init script? if its not running call it from /etc/rc.local [03:28] scguy318: the ../dpkg/available was one of the ones I had to move also [03:28] ciddy: when you create a new profile, what happens? [03:28] Necrosan: uh, I can't read your mind [03:28] cdm10 same as before [03:28] im having some installation probs [03:28] well, when i try and install ubuntu 7.10 amd64 version, i get up to the point where its like a check list with [OK]'s on the right then after that i hear my HD crank for about 10 seconds then i just get a blank screen [03:28] riotkittie, DCC isn't working, probably has to do with my system shutting down like HAL all around me :) Can you pastebin it? [03:29] ChrisC36, execute this command lshw |grep -i logical |less and see what /dev/hNN devices show up like hda, hdb, hdc, hdd, etc. [03:29] MasterShrek: It's to check whether my laptop is plugged in or not === Drop is now known as Monos98 [03:29] thx1137: why? what was the error? [03:29] You need Flash to use GrandCentral. Get it here [03:29] Should I put it on a pastebin? [03:29] but i have flash installed [03:29] The script itself works just fine [03:29] thx1137: revert your moves, I think dpkg is a bit borked at the moment [03:29] Necrosan, call the script from /etc/rc.local [03:29] Ubuntu is being stingy & not letting it run.. [03:29] Necrosan: what if you plug/unplug your laptop after boot? [03:29] MasterShrek: I've tried just adding it in, it doesn't seem to run it.. [03:29] Ragewarp: is this the Desktop CD, and how much ram do you have? Also, try the x86 CD, see if that works... Also, if you install in 32-bit, you'll be able to use apps like flash and some drivers that don't work on x64. === dsddasdasads is now known as Dracusorul [03:29] Jordan_U: done: ://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41782/plain/ [fwiw, there are two ndiswrapper files you might want to remove from the list ] [03:30] ciddy: go to Google Video [03:30] Clinton__: That works fine, it adjusts the frequency of the cpu properly with the scripts i added in /etc/acpi/battery.d and /etc/acpi/ac.d [03:30] Necrosan: I have several custom scripts running on boot, ubuntu isn't stingy about it [03:30] ciddy: just go to any google video page, tell me what that does... [03:30] Unless powernowd is being a real piece of crap [03:30] anyone know how can i activate the new themes from 7.10 ?! [03:30] Necrosan: why don't you use a properly configured powernowd setup to do that for you? [03:30] Necrosan, there should be a battery monitor that does that for you [03:30] How? It's so cryptic [03:30] Dracusorul: what new themes? Theme configuration is in System>Preferences>Appearance [03:30] where'd my http go :o [03:30] I want performance scheduler when plugged in, ondemand when on battery [03:30] powernowd tries to do more crap than it should [03:30] ciddy: i mean in the new profile [03:31] Necrosan: writing custom scripts for that type of thing will take more time to implement correctly than it would to learn the 'cryptic' nature of powernowd [03:31] Dude, it's a 2 line script. [03:31] cdm10, ive tried the x86 installation on this and previous versions of ubuntu and ive gotten the same thing every time, accept for now i do not have to input the 'noapic' command. I have 1gb of ram [03:31] scguy318: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41787/ .. should I copy back the old "/available" and run the "apt-get install -f"? [03:31] cdm10: Ugh, I had the weirdest thing happen to me cdm... I had GIMP up and resized it, and I tried to open the "Selector" menue, and then suddenly I was unable to do anything on the screen, caps-lock wouldnt work either, but I could still see this room's messages and still heard the convo from my Skype, but everything else was locked up. [03:31] cdm10 google video works fine [03:31] cdm10: The only problem is with grandcentral [03:31] Necrosan: powernowd will do anything you like, when configured properly the way you want [03:31] Necrosan, i can just click the battery monitor and adjust things like that, granted im using kde, but i think gnome has the same thing... [03:31] And anything in /etc/acpi/battery.d is run when switched to battery power, and ac.d when plugged in [03:31] ciddy: try sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree [03:31] Jban: ouch... [03:31] cdm10 no [03:31] anyone here familiar with the command 'wipe'? [03:31] If I boot the laptop with AC adaptor and unplug it, I don't even get a battery menu [03:31] there is a guy in #ubuntu-br saying that he cannot join this channel, any op can take a look in that, please? His nick is paul0. Thanks [03:31] How cheesy is that? [03:31] its prolly a bug with mozilla, i reported it [03:32] well i did a upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 and there was some new hdd icon on the desktop and then he came back to the original ubuntu icon :| dont know why [03:32] cdm10: Sounds like a ubuntu 7.10/firefox problem [03:32] thx1137: now that I've thought about it, have you done any fsck recently? seems to be that those files are corrupt [03:32] Necrosan: could you please stop sending unnecessary messages? [03:32] thx1137: a reinstall may be advisable, and sure, try that [03:32] ciddy: works fine on my machine... why don't you do sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree [03:32] cdm10: What would cause that? Is that an display driver issue / conflict? Becuase the other programs were still running, I just couldn't click on anything, even my mouse curser could still be moved around. [03:32] The live cd installer will let me shrink a windblows partition, right? [03:32] cdm10: Dude, I'm trying to fix my problem. take a chill pill. Everyone is still getting the help they need. stop hating. [03:32] When I enable desktop effects, I not only can't get my window boarders back, but my terminal only displays as a blank white square. If I go back to normal, the terminal looks fine. Have I missed something? [03:32] cdm10 nope [03:32] Badpenguin86, i believe so [03:33] Necrosan: I realize that, but you could do it in a way that makes it a bit easier to follow what's going on. [03:33] cdm10: All the apps are installed fine and working [03:33] ciddy: please just do it. [03:33] cdm10: Nothing has to be reinstalled [03:33] nope [03:33] what is the warning about internet /network configuration on the Ubuntu 7.10 installer about? and why wouldnt 7.10 recognize my cable connections settings? 7.04 did... [03:33] cdm10, ive tried the x86 installation on this and previous versions of ubuntu and ive gotten the same thing every time, accept for now i do not have to input the 'noapic' command. I have 1gb of ram [03:33] Jban: sometimes stuff freezes... if it happens once, it's random, if it happens twice, it's got to do with the program. [03:33] no one here on openvpn? [03:33] ciddy: Why not? It can't hurt anything... [03:33] cdm10: it sounds like a website bug [03:33] cdm10: Years of IRC have made me grow to the inefficient style; I apologize if it irks you. [03:33] scguy318: I had just re-installed 7.04, and then did an update to 7.10, the update manager worked for a little bit, but since has been giving me these problems, just fsck by itself? [03:33] ciddy, dont ask for help if you arent going to do what people suggest [03:33] Fluffy, Can you pastebin the exact error / warning ? [03:33] ciddy: It's not. It works on my machine. [03:33] ciddy: So, I'm asking you to reinstall the package. [03:33] i'm really sick of these script kiddies [03:34] guru: What script kiddies? [03:34] Necrosan: alright, I'll drop it... it's really not that busy, so I guess it's not too disruptive... [03:34] cdm10: ;) [03:34] cdm10 i just did a fresh 7.10 install [03:34] jtt /dev/hda has hda1, hda2, and there's also an /dev/hdb with nothing [03:34] ChrisC36, pastebin output of lshw |grep -i logical and let me look at it [03:34] Necrosan: the ones trying to flood people offline through the router exploit [03:34] cdm10: nothing is broken [03:34] What router exploit? [03:35] ciddy: run the reinstall please. [03:35] i dont know the warning because i didnt read it Jordan_U because im fairly experienced with Ubuntu, i just clicked right through the installation, and the only "error" was that Ubuntu wouldnt recognize my existing cable connection and i didnt have my Windows ipconfig settings with me at the time... [03:35] ChrisC36, as /dev/hdb is probably it [03:35] riotkittie, Grrr, still can't calculate the upgrade [03:35] ciddy: It takes about 30 seconds total. [03:35] Necrosan: the one thats causing all of the dcc send requests to all the channels [03:35] cdm10, ive tried the x86 installation on this and previous versions of ubuntu and ive gotten the same thing every time, accept for now i do not have to input the 'noapic' command. I have 1gb of ram [03:35] Necrosan: buffer overflow [03:35] ChrisC36, ahh mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt [03:35] Ragewarp: alright, try the Alternate CD then. [03:35] can anyone maybe help me with compiz fuzion? i just started with ubuntu... [03:35] ChrisC36, then ls /mnt [03:35] cdm10, tried that too [03:35] it must be a grade school holiday or something [03:35] Jordan_U: oh no! :o [03:36] cdm10, when i started to partition on the alternate cd, it stuck at 0% [03:36] How do i backup my data using 7.10? [03:36] has anyone had a problem with text input lag in Firefox after upgrading to Gutsy?

I recall there being some other flag that can fix this problem, but I forget what.... any ideas? [03:37] Where is the room to talk about all the 3d effects etc? [03:37] it [03:37] yea, im interested in the 3d stuff aswell [03:37] cdm10: it says i need to use the express install but if i click on it, it doesnt work [03:37] cow [03:37] anyone use wicd?

[03:39] cdm10: No, all your advice did not work [03:39] hydrogen, To late [03:39] ? [03:39] i am asking someone else [03:39] ciddy: did you run it, or not? [03:39] no, it wont fix it [03:39] riotkittie: making sure its not messing up my vpn [03:39] hydrogen, apt has super cow powers [03:39] How can I fix it, it looks...odd [03:39] cdm10: The app is fine [03:39] !paste | ciddy [03:39] ciddy: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [03:39] anyone willing to take a shot at my installation problem? [03:39] nownott: ah [03:39] Jordan_U: yes, super cows are not cows [03:39] People, do you agree with me that ciddy should sude aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree because his flash is partially broken on some sites? [03:39] Ok im using compfiz and everything works except for animations when i minimize and maximaze screens and stuff, im not getting any animation at all, any help?

[stupid question, eh] [03:40] riyonuk: some icons are older, and the FF icon is like that to avoid trademark issues w/ Mozilla.

[03:41] thanks sco [03:41] anyone know how i can disable iptables? [03:41] danny3793: I think if you go to computer, and double-click any disc, it'll mount it. [03:41] hello? [03:41] I was wondering who the ops were :/ [03:41] nownott: flush the tables and set the default policy to ACCEPT [03:41] hello [03:41] I am trying to install 7.10 - 64Bit. When attempting the install I get the standard installation menu. When slecting ANY of the options on the boot menu the linux kernel will load. After the kernel has loaded nothing happens. The screen goes black as if something is going to happen but after several minutes nothing does. Please help! [03:41] ChrisC36, pastebin output of lshw command [03:41] scguy318: well thanks again for your help, at least synaptic is working a little better now, seems those files have something to do with the new compiz [03:42] xJonnyx134, Try the alternate install CD [03:42] i need DNS server, installed bind. but i cant config bind? [03:42] help me? [03:42] xJonnyx134: you realize there's no Macrodobe Flash for 64bit, yes? [03:42] jtt sure 1 sec [03:42] mneptok im not sure what you mean? [03:42] xJonnyx134: if your graphics card doesn't work with the splash screen, it sometimes won't show up... give it a bit more time, and if it doesn't work, just use the alternate cd [03:42] mneptok: flash works through nspluginwrapper [03:42] XJonnyx134: try pressing F6 when it goes to the boot menu, then before the --'s put pci=noacpi and it should work [03:42] mneptok: i tihnk you're talking to the wrong person [03:43] hydrogen, you will know if you upset them :D [03:43] thx1137: np [03:43] Jordan_U where could i get that? off the main site? [03:43] 64 bit does not have flash?? [03:43] dystopianray: it also works with Gnash. neither of which negates what i said. [03:43] danny3793: it does [03:43] hello [03:43] danny3793: no, but there are work-arounds [03:43] i need DNS server, installed bind. but i cant config bind? [03:43] danny3793: in Gutsy you can just do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [03:43] danny 3793 i will try that thank you, is this a common fix you have seen? [03:43] i think mneptok is just warning xJonnyx134 that once he gets ubuntu x64 installed he won't be able to use Adobe's flash plugin [03:43] Ok im using compfiz and everything works except for animations when i minimize and maximaze screens and stuff, im not getting any animation at all, any help? [03:43] xJonnyx134, Yes, there is a check box for it on the downloads page [03:43] danny3793: you can install flash, but it's not straightforward. [03:43] scguy318: i was gonna say! its the only version i can get to run on my computer, lol [03:43] Cable86: but he will be able to use it [03:43] cdm10: im ok with that, :P [03:43] danny3793: you can't run 32-bit, but you can run 64? weird... [03:43] guru: in Gutsy, I think the flashplugin package can deal with 64-bit now [03:43] scguy318: not on a 64-bit install (at least it didn't work that easily for me) [03:44] Jordan_U ok thank you [03:44] dystopianray: yes, with a bit of fiddling he will :-) [03:44] guru: you need nspluginwrapper [03:44] scguy318: i simply installed firefox32 according to the forums and everything worked perfectly [03:44] or he can settle with Gnash [03:44] which has a 64bit version [03:44] cdm10: the 32bit livecd freezes, 64 bit runs fine, im using an AMD Athlon x2 64-bit 4000+, Acer Aspire T-180UD400B [03:44] I've tried Gnash, it really doesn't work too well... [03:44] Im in Dapper, how do I upgrade to Gutsy? [03:44] cdm10 is there a good way to know if my card would not support the flash? [03:44] danny3793: ah, ok. [03:44] gnash is rubbish [03:44] I've got windows XP on one sata drive on the 1st sata master, and a blank 2nd sata drive on the 2nd sata master. I'm going to install 7.10 on the 2nd sata drive and want to know how bootloaders will work and stuff because I've had grub mess up everything in the past [03:44] riyonuk: you'll have to do Edgy -> Feisty -> Gutsy, not fun [03:44] riyonuk: you'll have to upgrade through Edgy, Feisty, and then to Gutsy. [03:44] dystopianray: that's more like a bandaid to fix an amputated arm [03:44] riyonuk: so a clean install is best [03:44] :o [03:44] dystopianray: and a the pluginwrapper isn't? [03:44] :o [03:44] i hope gnash gets to the point where i can use it instead of adobe's though [03:44] -_- [03:44] jtt http://pastebin.com/m5be3c931 [03:44] cdm10: someone suggested to try 64 bit instead of 32 lol and it worked, :o [03:44] Ok im using compfiz and everything works except for animations when i minimize and maximaze screens and stuff, im not getting any animation at all, any help? [03:44] xJonnyx134: cards have nothing to do with flash support [03:44] Can anyone help me I just downloaded the ubunu 7.10 from the website and the file is in a .rar how do I install? [03:45] riyonuk, You can either upgrade to edgy then feisty then Gutsy, or wait for a direct upgrade to Hardy [03:45] mneptok: that's right [03:45] so, am i the only one who thinks that gutsy totally sucks? i have had nothing but problems! [03:45] dystopianray: either way, 64 bit Flash is a ghetto experience [03:45] BlackTech: its an ISO, dont be confused by the WinRAR file handlers [03:45] scguy318, but dapper will be dapper ----> hardy :D [03:45] BlackTech: are you sure it's a RAR and not an ISO? [03:45] riyonuk: I'd backup your home folder, and reinstall [03:45] BlackTech: since it handles ISO too [03:45] can someone help me with upgrading to gutsy? [03:45] when will that be? [03:45] How can i mount my internal harddrive where i have owner perms? i tried 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /folder' and it mounts the drive but i dont have Owner perms [03:45] lomez: just ask your question [03:45] dystopianray: nspluginwrapper is garbage, too [03:45] does the Ubuntu 7.04 Desktop CD have support for RAID in the live kernel? [03:45] It's an iso packed in a rar [03:45] anyone know if there's a way to make compiz-fusion use anti-aliasing? [03:45] I just installed dapper today, so nothings really important [03:45] ChrisC36, ok hold on [03:45] eigma: i dunno, but it's obsolete [03:45] BlackTech: or its just an iso :P [03:45] eigma use the alternate cd [03:45] mneptok: i disagree [03:45] Ok im using compfiz and everything works except for animations when i minimize and maximaze screens and stuff, im not getting any animation at all, any help? [03:45] it's not an iso packed in a RAR. [03:45] cdm10: obsoleted by? [03:45] riyonuk: oh, ok, then download and install feisty :) [03:45] eigma, No [03:45] Ok im using compfiz and everything works except for animations when i minimize and maximaze screens and stuff, im not getting any animation at all, any help? [03:45] yeah just a iso file [03:45] eigma: Gutsy [03:45] McLovin! [03:45] BlackTech: [03:46] not gutsy? [03:46] :D [03:46] eigma: released 4 days ago [03:46] BlackTech: burn the image. [03:46] Fluffy!! [03:46] eigma http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/2007/04/setting-up-software-raid-in-ubuntu-server/ [03:46] eigma, Use the alternate install CD [03:46] guys [03:46] cdm10: heh :) [03:46] ok well help with vpn anyone, thinking iptables/fowarding is the culpret. [03:46] to a cd? [03:46] ok guys thank you for the alternate solutions ill get to work trying them all out [03:46] gutsy blows... i'm sorry [03:46] cdm10: 7.04 will be supported until October of 2008 [03:46] BlackTech: un-pack it then burn the image [03:46] dystopianray: you're free to do so. [03:46] BlackTech: yes, yes. [03:46] cdm10: it is not obsolete [03:46] Jordan_U, ChristC36: thank you [03:46] jerbear: yeah it does [03:46] shabaam: there's nothing to unpack. it's an ISO. [03:46] eigma, np [03:46] hi, im trying to compile applications but i need a heap of lib and dev packages for gtk etc... is there a bundle i can download or do i have to download each one and then check if the dependencies are there? [03:46] Is there anyone to install it with out burning it to a cd? [03:46] hey guys, anybody got a sec? how can i configure my 3D on gusty? is there any instruction? [03:46] Cable86: fine, not obsolete... but old [03:46] how can i install 7.10 from a harddisk??? [03:46] oh, then jsut burn it [03:46] eigma i spent a few extra hours before i figured that out yesterday [03:46] should i just re-install feisty and wait till the next version? [03:46] cdm10: just clarifying :-P [03:47] an: what video card do you have? [03:47] JESUS SAVE ME I JUST WANT TO HAVE BAD ASS FIRE ANIMATIONS :( [03:47] Isasuke: the only way I know of to do that is Wubi through Windows [03:47] i need DNS server, installed bind. but i cant config bind? [03:47] ChrisC36, ok here is what you have 2 sata sda sdb one ide hda hda has two slices hda1 is probably linux hda2 is probably swap [03:47] How can i mount my internal hard drive so that i have owner perms?? Ive tried 'sudo mount /dev/sda1 /folder' [03:47] jerbear: sure... I agree with you, some things broke in Gutsy that worked fine in feisty. [03:47] i need DNS server, installed bind. but i cant config bind? [03:47] !repeat | danny3793 [03:47] danny3793: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [03:47] I just wanna boot. [03:47] escuse me rmdir is command for remove a one directory?? [03:47] BlackTech: there's supposed to be a third party [?] installer that you can run in windows but i know nothing about it save to say that it's called Wubi [03:47] danny3793: try adding it to fstab [03:47] Ironically, I never had such unbootability during the Gutsy beta. [03:47] jtt i intsalled this system yesterday, with 2 satas which i setup in raid. the ide0 is the old drive i just put in [03:47] badraa: search google for guides on bind configuration [03:47] ChrisC36, execute mount /dev/hda1 /mnt [03:48] warrior: rm -r /path/to/directory/ [03:48] danny3793: man mount [03:48] cdm10: is it early-adopter syndrome? or is it just that gutsy is flawed? [03:48] ChrisC36, then execute ls /mnt [03:48] DanaG: what error do you get when you try to boot? [03:48] hello? [03:48] guru: man mount? === Fluffy is now known as Super_Fluffy [03:48] DanaG: why cant you boot? [03:48] cdm10, ok tank [03:48] cdm10: fstab? [03:48] My root partition is missing. [03:48] jerbear: I"d say flawed... if it's broken now, it won't be fixed with updates. [03:48] If I let it boot with splash, it hangs on "waiting for root filesystem". [03:48] jerbear: they only release security updates usually [03:48] danny3793: yes. 'man' is the command used to view manual pages [03:48] someone help me? my upgrade is stalled at configuring lippam0g [03:48] 30minutes remaining [03:48] for like 2 hours [03:48] If I drop to shell by doing break=premount, I find /dev/sda* are missing, [03:48] How can I find out what kernel I'm running? [03:48] cdm10: great... what version are you running, personally? [03:49] lomez: open the terminal thingy in the upgrade, see if it's asking you any questions [03:49] danny3793: try mounting it somewhere under the /mnt hierarchy first and see if that works [03:49] and even modprobe'ing ahci doesn't fix it. [03:49] whoa [03:49] guru: ok, ill try that, thanks, brb [03:49] in fact... is the general consensus that everyone is sticking with feisty for now? [03:49] cdm10, someone just messaged me tha answer, thanks all [03:49] jerbear: gutsy... the only real problem is that the nvidia driver has issues with the cursor, which are fixable, but the fix makes it impossible to use Compiz. [03:49] jtt refresh the pastegin [03:49] pastebin [03:49] jerbear: no, not at all [03:49] having dual monitors makes it impossible to run compiz [03:49] jtt er wait that didnt work.. [03:49] yes, but i don't understand this command (sudo vi /etc/bind/named.conf.local) [03:49] ? [03:49] jerbear: Gutsy has been great, besides that nVidia hiccup, for me... and most people's nVidia works fine. [03:50] badraa: vi is an editor [03:50] gutsy's been top notch for me, as well, on both installs. [03:50] juanbond, try uname -r [03:50] can i get some help installing a server? [03:50] badraa: that launches vi, a command-line text editor, you would be better off using nano or gedit, via gksudo gedit ... [03:50] i like it so much i might add a third :x [03:50] badraa: you could also use nano (a lot easier to non viers) [03:50] ...... [03:50] jerbear: kubuntu gutsy has been disappointing, kopete is broken and hasn't been fixed yet [03:50] I have gutsy on 3 machines..works well. [03:50] anyone know if there's a way to make compiz-fusion use anti-aliasing? [03:50] jtt http://pastebin.com/d1e3f901f [03:50] Cable86: what card do you have? [03:51] nano? [03:51] nano is also an editor. [03:51] dystopianray: ati radeon 9800XT [03:51] use gedit [03:51] badraa: nano is an easy to use editor that doesn't require X [03:51] I'm stuck in low resolution mode (nvidia) after the upgrade. Any tutorials out there on fixing this? [03:51] Cable86: which driver are you using? [03:51] cdm10: i've had no problems with nvidia, but i've been randomly seeing nautilus pegging out the cpu at 100%, and now nx doesn't work worth a damn [03:51] ok [03:51] dystopianray: using the free ati driver [03:51] tnx [03:51] cdm10: Hey... I resized the picture down to 96x96 with the GIMP, and it is even 96x72, however, Pidgin still wont import it into gTalk icon. The file size is 10.0 KB [03:51] dystopianray: not fglrx [03:51] hydrogen: that's all fine and dandy as long as x is working but what's badraa going to do when X breaks and he needs to edit xorg.conf or similar? [03:51] Jban: i said 8 kb :) [03:52] ChrisC36, strange that is the boot directory [03:52] Cable86: I don't think radeon supports anti-aliasing [03:52] guru: deal with the problem then [03:52] what is everyone doing about their gutsy problems? going back to feisty or just waiting? [03:52] who here is the shit with compiz?! [03:52] Jban: just upload it in the gmail prefs, they don't have those limitations. [03:52] cdm10: Doh! Sorry about that, what could I do to make it 2 KB less? [03:52] Hi, I am trying to install the vmware player package via add/ remove applications [03:52] jerbear: not everyone has gutsy problems [03:52] guru: theres no need to limit yourself to a small subset of tools just to prepare for eventualities [03:52] how do i change the look of the Gnome Panels? [03:52] dystopianray: damn...do you know of some other way to get AA? would it involve fglrx/xgl? [03:52] I am getting the error message: VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. [03:52] dmakalsky: try sudo apt-get install vmware-player [03:52] ChrisC36, pastebin output of echo 'p' | fdisk /dev/hda [03:52] Cable86: buy an nvidia card [03:52] * riotkittie does the no-gutsy-problems-here dance [03:52] cdm10: By logging into hte email system? [03:52] cdm10: i know, i'm asking the ones that are having problems [03:52] Jban: yup [03:52] dystopianray: i was waiting for that :-P [03:52] hydrogen: yes, but it doesn't hurt to learn just in case, especially when it comes to using editors that don't require X [03:52] ？ [03:52] cdm10: Thanks [03:53] i should be freenode-registered now [03:53] Cable86: fglrx can probably do AA but I don't know if it'll work on your card [03:53] guru: why? [03:53] Anyone have any suggestions how to re-install "libpam-runtime"? [03:53] guru: in the case that X is broken.. do you real thing mr. average joe is going to be able to determine how to fix it? [03:53] ChrisC36, i found out how to use the gui to peruse the disk once we get it mounted [03:53] cable86, dystopianray, so my brand new ATI radeon card which got delivered today is gonna be useless? [03:54] Alien18: how will it be useless? [03:54] hydrogen: because if all you can use are X editors, and you're in a situation where you need an editor and X is messed up or unavailable... [03:54] hydrogen: because it's critical for newbies to linux/unix/*nix to learn how to fix things should something go wrong and they can't look for helpo elsewhere === Gryphyn is now known as Gimped [03:54] guru, true [03:54] Alien18: what model is it? [03:54] how do i change the look of the Gnome Panels? [03:54] riotkittie: and how will knowing how to use an editor teach them how to understand and correct xorg.conf? [03:54] dysstopianray, well i havent plugged it in yet, but the cheap nvidia card im using does all of compizs speacial effects ive tred [03:54] cdm10: I fixed it, i reinstalled the file using the tar.gz [03:54] cdm10: Oh, ok, I forgot that I had already a picture in those preferences... so that still stays true when I use Pidgin correct? everyone still sees that picture, even when I am going through another prog? [03:54] hydrogen, they need to learn that too [03:54] Hello everyone, I'm new to Ubuntu, I have just installed 7.10 on my Dell 600m, but my network is not working, I ran ifconfig from the terminal and it doesn't show eth0, what should I do next? [03:55] hydrogen: yes, honestly i do. armed with a very basic linux book since i knew how and what to use from a terminal i was able to fix 98% of whatever went wrong unless i did something stupid to iptables [03:55] how do I change the theme/look og Gnome Panels? [03:55] cable86 x1650, compared to my nvidia 7100 [03:55] cdm10: turns out the tar.gz is different [03:55] who woulda thunk :) [03:55] Alien18: your ATI card will not be able to do compiz properly [03:55] McLovin, is vmware-player correct? it doesn't find it [03:55] hi [03:55] Alien18: why did you buy ATI if you are a linux user? [03:55] brad016: right click on the panel and select properties [03:55] also on that same note it's never a bad idea to have lynx (prefered) or links installed and become familiar with it [03:55] jtt - cool.... how? [03:55] dystopianray, why? its way more expensive and bigger and better than my cheap little nvidia? [03:56] terminal browser is pointless [03:56] guru: bruenig: so then, why isntall X at all? if its just going to break at some point (and therefore everyone should know how to do everything from the command line just in case) then we might as well get it over with right from the outset and make sure everyone knows how to use the commandline because there is no other option [03:56] dystopianray, i didnt was a present [03:56] gaten, damn that totally works, thx [03:56] hydrogen, x can break, it doesn't inherently break by design [03:56] ChrisC36, sorry how to do what? [03:56] dystopianray, Alien18: i believe ATI will soon be releasing an AIGLX compatible driver [03:56] Alien18: horrible drivers will probably render it inferior to the nvidia card, along with not doing compiz properly [03:56] * DanaG uses links2. [03:56] Alien18, unfortunately linux support with ATI is something to be desired.. [03:56] its not that it's "just going to break at some point", but it might. [03:56] lynx won't do ssl. [03:56] bruenig: not when you have a problem with the nvidia drivers and need to download the latest ones and install them it's not [03:56] hydrogen, ubuntu had an upgrade that broke x not long ago [03:56] You can't look at Launchpad without ssl. [03:56] Hello everyone, I'm new to Ubuntu, I have just installed 7.10 on my Dell 600m, but my network is not working, I ran ifconfig from the terminal and it doesn't show eth0, what should I do next? [03:56] guru, switch to vesa, get the graphical server going again [03:57] terminal browser is not pointless [03:57] bruenig: yes.. and if the user does not know how to fix the rpoblem (and doesn't even know what the problem is most likely!) how the hell are they going to fix it? [03:57] the adobe demo works as well as grandcentral now [03:57] bruenig: and if you're a newbie to linux and it took you a week to get your system working as it is? [03:57] hydrogen, they need to learn it beforehand... [03:57] ChrisC36, the last request was to pastebin echo 'p' | fdisk /dev/hda can you do that [03:57] turns out the nonfree package is different [03:57] lets just limit everyone to vim, irssi, lynx, cat, sed, awk, and bash [03:57] also, how do I make sure I am at the correct official ubuntu release level? [03:57] guru, if you can text browse, I think you can change the driver to vesa [03:57] as if they break you are in a lot of trouble anyways [03:57] I think I may be still at the dev level? [03:57] hydrogen: why are you so opposed to people learning how to function on the CLI? [03:57] would you MSG me xzolian? [03:57] hydrogen: maybe i'm just old but i prefer a terminal more than anything else [03:58] my network manager says "no connection" even though I'm still connected to the internet (and typing this) [03:58] hydrogen, no one is talking about limiting, it is learning basics for troubleshooting purposes [03:58] bruenig: of course i can; i've been using *nix since 93 [03:58] hydrogen, I use X but don't need X [03:58] riotkittie: I'm opposed to people complicating their lives just because of an eventuality [03:58] * DanaG wishes NVIDIA would make a working framebuffer driver. [03:58] One that doesn't break their binary driver. [03:58] guru, I meant you in a royal sense [03:58] bruenig: I don't need X either.. I'm more than comfortable at the command line. [03:58] Or at the very least, fix the **** VBE modes to allow native-res. [03:58] lynx supports ssl [03:58] hydrogen: asking a guy who is seeking help for something to edit a file in nano is not exactly complication. [03:58] just messaged you Super_Fluffy [03:58] bruenig: that doesn't mean that I do everything in nano/vim just because I can [03:58] Hi, I'm having a weird problem. When I use the volume keys on my laptop, the OSD for the volume shows up and even slides up and down, but it doesn't actually change the volume. When I click on the volume slider by the clock it always stays the same. Why would this be? [03:58] hydrogen, ok but the ability to recover from X doesn't mean that you can't use X [03:58] jtt http://pastebin.com/d7e17053e [03:58] hydrogen, you are making bizarre conclusions [03:58] hydrogen: How do you feel about your buddy helium? You guys get along? [03:58] i even use lynx whenever i want just the text from a site instead of all the bandwidth hogging images and flash animations [03:59] How do I use the widget layer for Compiz in 7.10? As in, how do I specify which programs to make widgets? [03:59] jtt: ChrisC36, i found out how to use the gui to peruse the disk once we get it mounted [03:59] guru: i cant get it working, its an ext3 hard drive, i tried mounting it with 'sudo mount -o nomand,nosuid,rw,user,remount /dev/sda1 /mnt' and that still does not let me access folders that contain the data i need [03:59] Alien18: it looks like you will need to run fglrx/XGL if you want to use compiz fusion [03:59] riotkittie: sure it is, it removes the ability to use your mouse.. or any of the enhancments that have been made in the last twenty years [03:59] all my sources say gutsy [03:59] is that correct? [03:59] DanaG: SSL works for me on Lynx [03:59] mouse is barely an enhancement [03:59] hydrogen: gpm goes a long way to letting you use your mouse. but when it comes to text editing, mice are not essential [03:59] mouse is obnoxious, wish it didn't exist [03:59] i didnt get it, join #js3b3 with me then xzolian [03:59] danny3793: does mount return an error? [03:59] riotkittie: no, they are not.. but they are kind of helpful [03:59] danny3793: as sudo do ls -ltr /path/to/mounted/volume and see if the owner is listed as root or some arbitrary user id (e.g., 1002, etc) [04:00] hydrogen: for you, but not for everyone. [04:00] gaten: no it doesnt, it acts as if its mounted correctly [04:00] riotkittie: a color monitor isn't essential either... [04:00] gaten: not if he can access the contents as root it isn't [04:00] jtt - oh i guess my 'how' on that was premature [04:00] cable, i will add that to my to-do list :( [04:00] guru: its a user id (1000 to be exact) [04:00] dmakalsky: assuming you are running gutsy, yes [04:00] !gutsy [04:00] Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) is the latest version of Ubuntu. Upgrading to Gutsy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades - Downloading: http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Please use bittorrent to download if possible, see !torrents [04:00] riotkittie: I'm fairly sure that the majority of users would much rather have a mouse than not have a mouse [04:00] danny3793: and what user are you attempting to access it as? [04:00] ChrisC36, got the paste hold on [04:00] and if you want to argue over that point than I think this conversation has gone way too far [04:00] hydrogen: but it's not like anyone's saying "oh yea, swap your color monitor out for an 8inch black and white and fire up nano" [04:00] guru: im trying to access it as root on LiveCD [04:00] just now i got update saying 7.10 is officially released. [04:01] How do I use the widget layer for Compiz in 7.10? As in, how do I specify which programs to make widgets? [04:01] How better is it from feisty [04:01] danny3793: you should be able to access it as root then [04:01] ubuntu.com shows the new features berent [04:01] gvim > mouse [04:01] just pay attention to the installer CD's network warning [04:01] guru: i know =\, i dont understand why it wont let me access the data, i try to go to the folder and it tells me im not the owner of it.. [04:01] riotkittie: nope, but at the same time having people use nano just because of a possibility at some point way down the line that something may break and the person experienceing the break may know how to fix the break but not know how to use a text editor... [04:02] well, do you see my point? [04:02] danny3793: try using cd in a terminal as root [04:02] encryption is the best part of gutsy, truecrypt + full_hd_encryption = paranoid's fantasy [04:02] cable86, i cant do anything at the moment, im stuck trying get a new hdd work, when its done, i will know who to ask for help :P === Banker is now known as ciddy [04:02] guru: yes, it lets me in them then [04:02] danny3793: sudo su ; cd /path/to/mounted/volume ; ls -l [04:02] any other plugins i need for ubuntu? [04:02] other than adobe flash? [04:02] guru: sudo -i is your friend [04:02] Alien18: sure thing :-P if i'm on, i'll do the best i can to help you out [04:02] ChrisC36, what happens when you execute mount /dev/hda1 /mnt [04:02] danny3793: then the x session you are running is logged in as a different user other than root (as you should be( [04:02] Super_Fluffy : 1.what is warning. 2. Have they done anything concrete in recognizing sound and related probs -one of major ones. [04:02] Iced tea (java/Gstreamer. [04:02] hydrogen: why? sudo su works just fine [04:03] ChrisC36, never mind [04:03] can someone help me set up ethernet on my dell 600m, i'm new to Ubuntu, my ethernet card is a Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5702 [04:03] i dont know berent [04:03] guru: because you should at least try to log in with roots environment.. rather than poluting it with your own [04:03] ChrisC36, execute mount /dev/hda1 /mnt [04:03] guru: which would be sudo su - [04:03] but sudo -i is a whole lot quicker [04:03] well, four characters quicker [04:03] !bcm43xx |xzolian [04:03] xzolian: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [04:03] hydrogen: why would i want to log in with root's environment? especially just to cd to a directory to see if i can [04:03] xzolian: probably a matter of getting the firmware [04:03] Oh yeah, any idearz on my initramfs and kernel screwyness? [04:04] so I think I am at the right level for gutsy... but vmware-player won't install [04:04] guru: because you are root? [04:04] guru: sudo -i :P [04:04] dmakalsky: why won't it install? [04:04] sigh. [04:04] Could someone help me. There's a .swf file on a site that streams an audio file. Is there anyway to play this stream through something like vlc? [04:04] guru: sudo -i [04:04] ChrisC36, looks like the device you want to mount is /dev/hda2 and it should have the files you want [04:04] says it can't install on my machine [04:04] hydrogen: so? 'because i am root' is not a reason. that's like saying 'i log into x as root because i am root and i can' [04:04] guru: no, that simply makes no sense [04:04] you can't log into root if you are root [04:04] because your already logged in as root [04:04] xzolian: do you see your card at all? even if you ifconfig -a ? [04:05] hydrogen: that wasn't my point [04:05] i can't write anything on nano, vry bad [04:05] guru: why would you want to use your environment when you were root? [04:05] Question: I found a 364.6 MB partition of Mandriva2008 from when I was first experimenting with the latest Linuxes, but it never gave me a dual-boot screen, and so, being a newbie, I couldnt figure out how to access it. Now that I am sticking with Ubuntu7.10, would it be possible to return this partition to Windows or to incorperate it and give that space to Ubuntu? [04:05] guru: hahah great, 7.10 64 bit just froze, took it awhile.. [04:05] Jban: sure, GPartEd [04:05] can i get some help configuring two nics of a server? [04:05] Jban: use gparted [04:05] 中国! [04:05] cheatr, you would have to reverse engieer the swf or sniff your internet to find out what stream it is pulling in... assuming there are no other authentication mechanisms... put simply. probably not [04:06] jtt ok - but there are not partitions showing for /dev/hda2 ? [04:06] scguy318: Ok, I will look at that now. [04:06] also upgraded firefox to 2.0.0.8 [04:06] now im good to go :) [04:06] jimmygoon:I know on windows there are programs to decompile a swf. Is there any way to do it on linux? [04:06] What is the best irc client for the gnome env? [04:06] Firefox is still buggy, on the new release. [04:06] small glitch, but fixed it [04:06] hydrogen: i never use sudo su i use sudo but if i need to become root for more than one or two commands then i use sudo su. i have no need to replace my environment with root's because i'm generally changing permissions or moving directories and/or files so i find it pointless to type an extra two characters that i don't need [04:06] ChrisC36, there is on the pastebin you have hda1 boot hda2 lvm [04:06] PokoTal:I prefer to use xchat [04:06] I prefer XChat [04:06] jban: ever get those head phones working. [04:06] hyper_b0le: then they will issue a new release [04:06] cheatr, I have nooo idea. [04:06] i see eth1, which i believe is my intel wireless, but i do not see eth0 [04:06] PokoTa1: X-Chat, irssi [04:06] they always come out with new releases :) [04:06] TECH_1: LOL, not with YouTube videos :P [04:06] guru: err... I'vev told you how to type less characters! [04:07] jtt so I should try to mount hda2? [04:07] PokoTa1, I'd have to recommend xchat as well [04:07] xzolian, ifconfig -a [04:07] guru: you are no argueing just because you can [04:07] loo...k. [04:07] jimmygoon:Ok, thanks. I'll try some other ways [04:07] sudo su seems redundant. sudo -s will give you a shell [04:07] guru: sudo -i. starts a root login shell [04:07] ChrisC36, yes mount /dev/hda2 /mnt [04:07] hydrogen: no, i think that is your reasoning [04:07] hydrogen, guru: #ubuntu-offtopic please [04:07] ciddy: What exactly have they meant to of changed? As the problems are exactly the same from previous releases. [04:07] okay, sounds like overwhelming support for xchat. I'll give it a go. [04:07] guru: if you really want to use your environment, then sudo -s [04:07] sudo bash, sudo gnome-terminal, ec [04:07] TECH_1: That's like an old wound that never heals and when it starts to get cold in winter, you feel it every day. [04:07] is it functional? can you see it in your BIOS? [04:07] yes, even with ifconfig -a, i do not see eth0 [04:07] isnt it sudo -i? [04:07] hyper_b0le: Security updates [04:07] Bonster: sudo -i if you want root's environment [04:07] danny3793: the kernel locked or firefox locked? [04:07] -i starts a login shell, -s starts a shell [04:07] yes it is functional, if i boot into windows xp it works (dual booting) [04:07] Loo..I cant understand it either..too weird. [04:07] cheatr: .swf files I believe are usually shockwave flash files. Got flash plugin? [04:07] Bonster: sudo -s if you want your current user's environment [04:08] ciddy: I see [04:08] There are so many bots here ~ -_-! [04:08] hyper_b0le: the 2.0.0.x releases are just security updates [04:08] erasrhed42, he's trying to do something else with them besides play them :S [04:08] Hi, I'm having a weird problem. When I use the volume keys on my laptop, the OSD for the volume shows up and even slides up and down, but it doesn't actually change the volume. When I click on the volume slider by the clock it always stays the same. Why would this be? [04:08] hyper_b0le: Firefox wont go thru an update for awhile yet i dont think [04:08] whats the command to open ubuntu gui from terminal? [04:08] ciddy: Ah right, thanks for the heads up. I'll just continue to use Opera xD [04:08] scguy318: Where is gparted again? I have a hard time finding things. [04:08] do you see anything about it in your boot log? [04:08] if i do a lspci I should see something like "Network Controller.....", right? [04:09] Jban: sudo apt-get install gparted, should be in System -> Administration [04:09] Bonster : startx [04:09] beta: launch alsamixer and adjust your volume with your keyboard and see which mixer it's adjusting the volume for [04:09] Jban: Type gparted in your console. [04:09] cause I don't [04:09] oh really? [04:09] Jban, sys-admin-gnome partition something [04:09] Hey there, I have a Realtek 8185, I have heard via the bug list that you can't hook up to encrypted wireless networks with it. Indeed, I seem to be getting a kernel panic whenever I try. Any good ideas for making this work? Is there a fix or a workaround? [04:09] thanks [04:09] hyper_b0le: gksudo gparted :P [04:09] dystopianray, it says that it won't work [04:09] jtt i get: mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member' [04:09] Holler at Realtek? [04:09] And then use ndiswrapper. [04:09] guru, Oh, its modifying the mic... how strange. How could I change it to use the Master volume instead? [04:09] scguy18: Well pointed out :X [04:10] DUMB QUESTION how do i add more desktops in gnome lol, im a flux box guy and never even used gnome [04:10] ChrisC36, yes it is a lvm file type hold on [04:10] beta: that i'm afraid i'm not sure about. i don't know how to remap the mixers but you could override it by using xbindkeys [04:10] this shit is nuts [04:10] anyone know why ubuntu doesnt see my creative soundblast audigy SE ?! [04:10] Console = terminal ? [04:10] Hi, all! How do I specify an arbitrary character, such as hex 0xFE, in sed? As in "sed -e 's/0xFE/0xFF/' " or something similar? Using literally "0xFE" doesn't work. [04:10] ipconfig -a ---> no eth0 [04:10] lspci -----> no "Network controller...." [04:10] but I know for a fact it works in windows xp, what should I try next [04:10] beta: you most likely want to control your pcm volume [04:10] guru, Alright, thanks. Its a step in the right way, now I have something to search for. I'll try to see what I can find. Thanks again =) [04:10] McLovin, rigth click and preferences [04:10] I think you can right click on the desktop changer, and change the columns etc. [04:10] on desktop? [04:11] !sound -> Dracusorul [04:11] kwtm: #sed [04:11] beta: no problem. stick around for a second and i'll see if i can find the link for xbindkeys that i used a while ago [04:11] hyper_b0le: Console = Terminal? [04:11] :| [04:11] effie_jayx: on the desktop? [04:11] Jban: Yeah [04:11] McLovin, on the workspaces [04:11] loL [04:11] berent ?! [04:11] effie_jayx: i tried that and it shows 4 but i only have 2 still lol [04:11] Jban: gksudo gparted should do the trick for you. [04:11] guru, alright... thanks [04:11] Dracusorul: check out the link [04:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about sound [04:12] :) [04:12] whats the diff between gksudo and sudo? [04:12] !sound [04:12] hydrogen: Will try channel #sed, though so far it seems dead. [04:12] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [04:12] wait got it [04:12] hyper_b0le: I guess that was only available to me on the Live-Ubuntu CD. [04:12] Bonster: gksudo for GUI apps, sudo for cmd-line apps === emeriste is now known as emma [04:12] What was [04:12] Bonster: sudo for GUI apps can be disastrous for your ability to login [04:12] hello all, gm :) [04:12] it does some things to make the environment work I think [04:12] hyper_b0le: I'm downloading it from Terminal [04:12] beta: http://hocwp.free.fr/xbindkeys/xbindkeys.html take a look at that and to find out what the scancodes are for your keyboard's keys you can run xev then press the buttons on your keyboard [04:13] Jban: Ah great :) [04:13] xzolian: try dmesg | grep eth [04:13] Hey there, I have a Realtek 8185, I have heard via the bug list that you can't hook up to encrypted wireless networks with it. Indeed, I seem to be getting a kernel panic whenever I try. Any good ideas for making this work? Is there a fix or a workaround? [04:13] Where would I find the config file to adjust the time linux waits before it decides a connection has timed out? [04:13] * qwerty121 is a n00b [04:13] beta: focus on the terminal and press Ctrl + C to kill xev when you're done (or close the terminal window) [04:13] guru, Alright, I remember doing this once. I just can't remember the program that outputted the pressed keys or something. I'll look around, again thank you so much [04:13] anyone can tell me how to change the monitor resoution? [04:13] how do i copy directories with cp? [04:13] Omneh: ndiswrapper? [04:13] ChrisC36, execute df -h and tell me what comes after /dev on the left of the line [04:13] danny3793: cp -R /src /dest [04:13] danny3793: cp -r [04:13] guru, oh nvm, didn't finish reading your message before posting haha [04:13] hyper_b0le: Now I see GNOME-Partiton Editor, is that the same thing? It finished doing it's install/download thing for gparted, but I dont see it in System. [04:13] scguy318: thank you :) [04:13] beta: no problem. i'll be around for a bit if you have any questions [04:14] ChrisC36, pick the root / partition [04:14] guru, Thanks =) [04:14] /join #ubuntu-cl [04:14] just try typing gparted in the terminal :) [04:14] qwerty121: hello [04:14] beta: actually hang on and i'll paste my xbindkeysrc for you [04:14] ChrisC36, what i am looking for is somethng like /dev/vg... [04:14] One bug I have: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3205 [04:14] shabaam: anything in particular i should be looking for?, there is a couple of lines that say "....eth1: link is not ready..." but nothing about eth0 [04:15] Jban: When I got it I just did 'sudo apt-get install gparted' then 'sudo gparted' :) [04:15] jtt -ok 1 sec [04:15] hyper_b0le: LOL! "Since GParted can be a weapon of mass destruction only root may run it." Man, that's awesome, so I guess I have to type sudo first then? [04:15] guru, okay [04:15] Loo.. [04:15] Jban: certainly do [04:15] im trying to get -dev packages to compile a program that uses gtk im on gutsy gibbon. is there a bundle of -dev packages i can download or is there a command i can use like apt-get to get the -dev packages so i can compile my program im after gtk2.0 and its dependencies [04:16] beta: http://rafb.net/p/z86kfK22.html [04:16] Jban: gksudo gedit [04:16] hyper_b0le: If Windows had warning messages like that, it would be like going to the circus. [04:16] They do, normally backed with a blue background. [04:16] there are two files in that post - .xbindkeysrc and .Xmodmap. you will need both. just use xev and replace the keycodes with your own [04:16] guru, Thanks =) [04:16] I robbed bill gates. [04:16] Roswell_1: try apt-cache search gtk2.0 it should list all packages with that name in them [04:16] whats a good program to remap remote control keys? [04:17] beta: actually .Xmodmap might be the only one you need [04:17] Question: Are there any good reasons to update to Gutsy if I already have a great working ubuntu system? [04:17] jrattner1: no! [04:17] unless you want to control xmms or assign commands to other buttons on your keyboard [04:17] So you can watch firefox crash even more. [04:17] loo [04:17] IdleOne, yeh thats what i figured [04:17] jrattner1: if you want the greatest (maybe not so great) and latest, then sure === _max` is now known as max` [04:17] jrattner1: unless you want to of course :) [04:17] ChrisC36, try this mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda2 /mnt [04:17] is there any outlandish benefits? [04:17] jtt http://pastebin.com/d3c1dc1 [04:18] Yeah, nah I only have volume up/down and mute [04:18] xzolian: Im not sure. it doesnt seem like anything is going on with it. [04:18] hyper_b0le, is that even possible? I mean, the only way it could crash more is if it crashed when it wasn't being run. ;P [04:18] is my bcm43xx card going to work out of the box or am i going to need ndiswrappers as usual? [04:18] jrattner1: gutsy does make coffee in the morning but besides that nope [04:18] Can anyone help? In the network configurations menu, it won't let me uncheck "roaming mode". What do I do? [04:18] jrattner1: you will need firmware or ndiswrapper [04:18] beta: iirc mute is "XF86AudioMute" and i don't have that one in my .Xmodmap [04:18] dystopianray, can i use the firmware cutter? [04:18] jrattner1, you just need the firmware [04:18] Nutubuntu: Firefox finds ways that were once thought impossible to crash upon. [04:18] MasterShrek, can u point me to the howto or whatever [04:18] jrattner1: I believe the restricted drivers manager handles that automatically [04:19] dystopianray, that would be pretty :) [04:19] guru, thanks [04:19] jrattner1: but youl'l probably be better off with ndiswrapper, the bcm43xx barely works at the best of times [04:19] yes idleone it does but there is no -dev package [04:19] hyper_b0le: yeah, like viewing two or more flash animations at once ;) [04:19] Random question: Will Gutsy be made available on DVD through the canonical store at any point, like 7.04 was? [04:19] guru: Or telling it to close [04:19] jrattner1, what specific 43xx is it? [04:19] Any good MCE for ubuntu? [04:19] Most likely [04:19] maybe my apt isn't looking into dev repositorys is there something i haven't configured? [04:19] beta: no problem. keep in mind you might need to restart X afterwards [04:20] Seriously, hyper_b0le, that's why I dropped in tonight -- firefox / swiftweasel crashing so darn much [04:20] Bonster: mythtv or linuxmce [04:20] MasterShrek, Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] [04:20] guru, alright makes sense [04:20] hyper_b0le: i haven't experienced that one yet but i did with thunderbir [04:20] *thunderbird [04:20] dystopianray: MythTv kinnda hard, LinuxMCE only works on KDE [04:20] <|neon|> what would be better to use virtualbox or vmware, i'm running a quad 6600 oc'ed to 4ghz with 2g ram [04:20] Nutubuntu: I'm using Opera until firefox decides to work. [04:20] jrattner1, and you say you are running feisty? [04:20] jtt tried that mount -t etc., it says: wront fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2, missing codepage or helper program , or other error . In some cases useful info is found n syslot - try dmesg | tail or so [04:20] MasterShrek, correct [04:20] |neon|, virtualbox [04:20] Bonster: what is linuxmce? [04:20] ChrisC36, yeah you are using lvm and is am not familiar with it but root is mounte on /dev/md0 a meta device since i have not used lvm much i cant help you i will poke around though and see if i can find the anaswer [04:20] Evening everyone [04:21] guru: Linux Media Center [04:21] guru: http://linuxmce.com/ [04:21] Nutubuntu: Besides that speed dial feature in Opera rocks :x [04:21] wont work if u dont got KDE tho i believe [04:21] Bonster: ahh, i've never heard of it before but i've been looking for an alternative to mythtv [04:21] ChrisC36, in the mean time ask here if anyone can help you mount an lvm volume [04:21] i did the upgrade usijng official method on my daughters comp, install seemed to go fine, but it boots to busybox, saying a drive does not exist. There is no /home directory, no /media directory and no fstab file. I tried to boot from live cd and the same thing happened. Any ideas? [04:21] jtt ok cool thanks [04:21] guru: im using Elisa ATM is ok [04:21] Anyone know how to mount an LVM volume? [04:21] <|neon|> MasterShrek: thx [04:21] jrattner1, http://www.mediafire.com/?bqn8x4eancv that should work for you, extract it to /lib/firmware it says 4311 but i know its worked with 4318's before also [04:22] hyper_b0le: Ok, so, the 376.4 MB partition I am sure is the one left by Mandriva2008, and I guess that the 86.2 MB linux-swap file underneath that, is it's Mandriva's swap file? Correct? [04:22] alienseer23: try booting with all_generic_ide [04:22] hm [04:22] I am having a problem with compiz. When I start it, my window borders go away and I get a white screen. [04:22] Bonster: i'm using tvtime without the ability to record [04:22] MasterShrek, thank you [04:22] If I control + c I get rid of the white screen. [04:22] is there something i must do to get Gutsy to look for -dev packages on apt-get? only bin libraries and other stuff is listed under apt-cache no -dev libraries? [04:22] jtt how do I see a mount in the GUI? [04:22] What is required of me to get compiz working? [04:22] obso: Do you have window decorations checked [04:22] in compiz [04:22] guru: do u got a IR remote also? [04:22] the mounted volumen i mean [04:22] Capa1: Uh, where would I find that option? [04:22] Bonster: yep [04:22] I wonder if you're seeing what I am, hyper_b0le -- firefox tries to stat64 a nonexistent file in the user's .mozilla directory and then dies ? [04:22] scguy318: how do I do that? [04:22] obso: Inside the compiz settings manager [04:22] Jban: I assume so [04:22] ChrisC36, open konqueror and in the url type /mnt or what ever the mount point is [04:22] guru: what do u use to remap ur keys? [04:22] obso: do you have an nvidia card? [04:23] Bonster: lirc [04:23] guru: yes. [04:23] hyper_b0le: So how do I "give" this space to Ubuntu ? [04:23] a 6800. [04:23] guru: how u do it? [04:23] <|neon|> have ne1 gotten ipblock to work with gutsy? [04:23] Capa1: Where is that at? :) I'm new to compiz. [04:23] obso: that's a known issue - try searching google for "compiz nvidia white screen" or similar [04:23] can I make it so that my init.d daemon is started after x11? [04:23] MasterShrek, just extract it to there and done? or anything else? [04:23] hello [04:23] ChrisC36, look here this is the answer http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Mounting_a_Linux_LVM_volume.html [04:23] fn'Jban: any linux parittion can use any linux swap space [04:24] guru: i got lirc but where i go to make the keys to remap it? [04:24] ! all_generic_ide [04:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about all_generic_ide - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:24] jrattner1, sudo modprobe bcm43xx [04:24] Bonster: it's been so long since i've done it i don't remember - i think i found something on google with "debian lirc" or maybe i did it via .xbindkeysrc [04:24] fn'Jban: but to resize partitions you need gparted [04:24] ebirtaid: That makes sense of course but I just would prefer to do away with it. [04:24] if i uninstall ubuntu-desktop and install ubuntustudio-desktop instead will i loose anything? [04:24] Nutubuntu: If I'm honest, there isn't much firefox hasnt crashed on me. Silly things like pressing the 'back' button twice =S [04:24] Bonster: i used .xbindkeysrc [04:24] oh [04:24] ill check it out thanks [04:24] Bonster: no problem [04:24] alienseer23: from the LiveCD, F6 then space all_generic_ide [04:25] Bonster: just use xev to capture the scancodes and you're set [04:25] k [04:25] hyper_b0le: I mean, how do I give the Mandriva2008 partition to Ubuntu using gparted? [04:25] MasterShrek, so sudo modprobe bcm4318 ? or xx ? | or sudo modprobe /lib/firmware bcm4318? [04:25] I've got 4 hard drives: a drive with XP on it, a drive with ubuntu on it (just put 7.10 on used to be a clean drive), and 2 storage drives. I just installed 7.10 and for some stupid reason it put grub onto one of my storage drives. so after finding out that, I tried to boot from that drive and got grub error 17 and I have no idea what's wrong or how to fix it [04:25] fn'Jban: use gparted it will allow you to remove it also [04:25] alienseer23: from GRUB, press e for edit, then some other option for adding a new boot option [04:25] hyper_b0le, same here [04:25] I have new Server 7.10 -- what package do I need to build perl modules [04:25] guru: Pretty confused on what to do here, there seems to be 5 different people saying 5 differnet ways to fix it. [04:25] if i uninstall ubuntu-desktop and install ubuntustudio-desktop instead will i loose anything [04:25] scguy318:i'll try it out [04:25] i need to be able to mount a file within another file at boot......anyone know how i would enter that in to the fstab [04:25] I've been googleing, you wouldnt think it' sa known issue. [04:25] thanks [04:25] How do I uninstall a .deb I DLed and installed? [04:25] hyper_b0le, in a way that's a relief; I thought it was "just me" for a long time! [04:25] Jban: Not entirely sure -- i'm not that familiar with gparted. I'm not entirely sure you can merge partitions with it. [04:26] guru: xev how does that work? [04:26] ebirtaid: What is that fn' before jban? Are you saying "awesome jban" as in "fn' jban" or is that a negative. :P [04:26] if i uninstall ubuntu-desktop and install ubuntustudio-desktop instead will i loose anything [04:26] hyper_b0le: Oh ok :/ [04:26] obso: i wasn't able to reproduce it on mine so i'm not much assistance there [04:26] xTheGoat121x: sudo apt-get remove packagename [04:26] Bonster: run it from a terminal then press buttons on your remote [04:26] guru: well thanks for the help, at least there is hope. [04:26] password [04:26] frank23, I didn't install it from apt [04:26] MasterShrek, ? [04:26] Does ndiswrapper work on amd64? [04:26] :) oops [04:26] jrattner1, sudo modprobe bcm43xx [04:26] jburd, yes [04:27] xTheGoat121x, doesn't matter [04:27] Hello, I am having SLUB/FGLRX suspend/hibernate problems, both are non functional, is this a documented problem? [04:27] Nutubuntu: Nah, ahwell theres always opera and its bandwith eating auto-refreshingness =D [04:27] if i uninstall ubuntu-desktop and install ubuntustudio-desktop instead will i loose anything [04:27] fn'Jban: just my proxy === schadenfreude is now known as thr1lljockey [04:27] I have an RTL8187 inbuilt wifi card. What driver should i install? [04:27] xTheGoat121x: you can still remove it that way. apt runs dpkg to install packages [04:27] I have multiple servers [04:27] MasterShrek, alright thank you I guess ill give upgrading a try [04:27] ok, bedtime. night everyone [04:27] Night. [04:27] jrattner1, the bcm43xx kernel driver is updated and working better in gutsy [04:27] guru: g'night [04:27] ebirtaid: So what I was asking hpyer, is there a way to give the Mandriva partition to Ubuntu (since I dont need it) ? [04:27] anyone have any ideas on why grub is giving me error 17 or why ubuntu decided to put grub on my storage drive? and how do I get it working now? [04:27] I've tried installing the winxp, win98 and x64 drivers but all i get is this: wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning. when i issue sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [04:27] i need to be able to mount a file within another file at boot......anyone know how i would enter that in to the fstab [04:28] if i uninstall ubuntu-desktop and install ubuntustudio-desktop instead will i loose anything [04:28] frank23, all right [04:28] ChrisC36, do you grasp the gist of the article [04:28] MasterShrek, so for the last time, extract the firmware into /lib/firmware then sudo modprobe bcm43xx and in theory after a nice reboot it should be working nicely? [04:28] This is an ASUS M2N-VM DH motherboard [04:28] list [04:28] jrattner1, yes, but u shouldnt even have to reboot [04:28] if i uninstall ubuntu-desktop and install ubuntustudio-desktop instead will i loose anything [04:28] damnit [04:28] asus rocks [04:28] Jban: You could just delete the partition and format it, then throw some of your things over to it. If you can't combine partitions in gparted. [04:28] How do I get my graphics card working properly... Mesa is being used. [04:28] MasterShrek, alright great then...I appreciate it [04:29] if i uninstall ubuntu-desktop and install ubuntustudio-desktop instead will i loose anything? [04:29] I have an acer aspire 3000 and am trying to put xubuntu gutsy on it. After the first loading screen after cd boot, my screen turns to static. [04:29] MasterShrek, just hope network manager likes it too :) [04:29] hehe [04:29] np jrattner1 [04:29] mastershrek no [04:29] Yes it does, except I'm unable to get wireless working! [04:29] Bruno_: uninstalling metapackages have no effect on its dependencies [04:29] Bruno_: so not at all [04:29] hello i have problem with virtualbox Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND). The service might be not installed on the host computer [04:29] Jban: that's about as much as I can help at the minute, my eye are about to fall out lack of sleep xD. g'night all [04:29] Goodnight [04:30] jtt - i'm still going thru it [04:30] scguy318: so the only thing that would change is the appearence of my desktop and some of the packages installed? [04:30] guru, I created a file ~/.xmodmap with the keycode = XF86... and then used "xmodmap .xmodmap" to assign them (I think that's how it works, I faintly remember doing this once before) and restarted X but it was still modifying the mic. So I disabled the 3 keys on gnome-keybinding-properties and well, now they do nothing so I guess I did something wrong =\ [04:30] fabio: the ose version has no USB support AFAIK [04:30] Jban, boot from a live disc, delete the partition you don't want, then you can resize the good partition to encompass that new free space (attach here all the warnings about how you could lose all your data) [04:30] xTheGoat121x: dpkg -r | --remove | -P | --purge package ... | -a | --pending [04:30] Remove an installed package. -r or --remove remove everything except configuration files. This may avoid having to reconfigure the package [04:30] if it is reinstalled later. (Configuration files are the files listed in the debian/conffiles control file). -P or --purge removes every‐ [04:30] thing, including configuration files. If -a or --pending is given instead of a package name, then all packages unpacked, but marked to be [04:30] removed or purged in file /var/lib/dpkg/status, are removed or purged, respectively. [04:30] goofy, what you are asking doesn't make sense conceptually [04:30] woah sorry [04:30] Nutubuntu: Catch ya later [04:30] ChrisC36, ok take your time [04:30] MasterShrek: What should I do? [04:30] so? [04:30] what i need to doo' [04:30] In rhel I do yum groupinstall "Development Tools" to get gcc and make. What about UB? [04:30] What about things that I've built from source? [04:30] beta__: are u remaping keys for your remote control? [04:30] CHMEarl, you should have gcc and make [04:30] Bonster, no, multimedia keys [04:30] is there a graphical tool in 7.10 to set boot/grub preferences pls? [04:30] jimmygoon: Yeah... it took me a long time to learn Linux these past two days, and I dont feel like going backwards. [04:30] fabio: add the vitrualbox repository tp your sources. you can find it at their website [04:31] Bonster: my friend [04:31] jburd, about what/ [04:31] Bruno_: yeah probably [04:31] CHMEarl, "sudo apt-get install gcc" or better yet "sudo apt-get install build-essential" [04:31] CHMEarl, If not, apt-get install gcc would work [04:31] scguy318: ok thanks [04:31] CHMEarl, or rather, listen to the guy before me ;) [04:31] sup [04:31] xTheGoat121x, if you built them into debs, they'll be handled by dpkg. Otherwise, dpkg doesn't even know they exist [04:31] frank23: where [04:31] Jban, what did you learn? :) [04:31] MasterShrek: abuot using ubuntu 64-bit with an onboard rtl8187 wlan card on an asus m2n-vm dh motherboard [04:31] Bonster : hello i have problem with virtualbox Could not load the Host USB Proxy Service (VERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).

I've never worked with things I've installed from source (not from a deb), so how would I go about removing them? [04:32] jburd: when you get sound working, you let me know. I have the same problem on an Acer Aspire. [04:32] I have an acer aspire 3000 and am trying to put xubuntu gutsy on it. After the first loading screen after cd boot, my screen turns to static. [04:32] xTheGoat121x, I'm actually not sure. I've installed about three things from source, ever, and all of them were simple enough to just outright delete. [04:32] fabio: its deb http://www.virtualbox.org/debian gutsy non-free you can add that through synaptic [04:32] jburd, id search the forums if nobody here knows how to set it up [04:33] Andrew_1? [04:33] xTheGoat121x: sudo dpkg -r package ( usualy the app name ) [04:33] MasterShrek: I've been searching and trying everything out [04:33] fabio: are you using gutsy? [04:33] Jban i guess first time is the hardest, or the most "scary" part :P [04:33] yes [04:33] I get "wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning" every time [04:33] jburd: sorry, wireless [04:33] Aha, never mind, I got it [04:33] Andrew_1 Do you have the same wifi card? [04:33] frank [04:34] how do i check if my SONY VAIO motion eye webcam is working on gusty ??? [04:34] Yes I do, rtl8187 - Realtek [04:34] frank23: im in http://www.virtualbox.org/debian/ what i need to do??? [04:34] sheesh. [04:34] How do i use cp on a folder that is for Root only?

[04:35] its the same version men [04:35] is there a gui software to remap remote control keys? [04:35] scguy318: can i work on my desktop while im downloading and installing ubuntustudio-desktop? [04:35] http://www.virtualbox.org/debian/pool/non-free/v/virtualbox/ [04:35] Aondo: Well, the reason why I went with Ubuntu7.10 is that it mostly worked fine compared to how past Linuxes worked, and allowed me to use all the basic stuff... the biggest thing that I had to deal with was video driver issues in relation to configuring my LCD monitor, and that was annoying. [04:35] jimmygoon, /me just now built a perl module using package build-essential [04:35] frank i have the lastest version [04:36] -_- [04:36] irieKENi searched in package manager and found it [04:36] how can i use cp on a folder that has root access only, it is no viewable [04:36] i will install [04:36] fabio: what did you install? the virtualbox-ose from the ubuntu repositories?

[04:37] how do I fix GRUB error 17? for some reason ubuntu installed GRUB on one of my storage drives and when I try to boot I get error 17 [04:37] frank23: virtualbox_1.5.2-25433_Ubuntu_gutsy_i386.deb [04:37] IdleOne: it has another roots access, im trying t backup my data from a crashed hard drive, and the LiveCD keeps crapping out because its not able to copy it [04:37] thedzer0, google reinstalling grub, do that...

[04:38] thedzer0: you may also want to try http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml#doc_chap5 even though it's not Ubuntu-specific [04:38] Jban yea that usually is quite annoying, but blame your graphic card vendor for not having free drivers :D [04:38] Question: Why does it say that the partition which represents the Mandriva partition in Gparted, say it is mounted to the "/media/disk" what's the media part of hte disk? [04:38] thank you [04:38] jimmygoon: you got to it first [04:38] Virtual machine [04:38] what pakage recomend?? [04:38] fabio: and I really need to get to sleep now.

[04:50] tomlarkin, in the right there is a box that says like, show_trash_icon or something? there should be a checkbox next to it. [04:50] I just "upgraded" to 7.10 and now my sound is really really soft, if I turn it up all the way (in amarok, on the computer, and in system) then I can just hear it, any ideas on what's up?

[04:52] snowglobe: you're welcome [04:52] red22: edit /boot/grub/menu.ls [04:53] red22: menu.lst sorry [04:53] jrib: because I have 64bit AMDs [04:53] Hi there, i had just fixed the sound for my toshiba lappy under feisty when i saw i had the option to upgrade to 7.10 from within the update page so i upgrade and now my sounds broke again any got a guide listed anywhere ?

This is kind of annoying when watching movies -- does anyone know what might be wrong? [04:58] after playing other medias [04:58] varun0: it says Xgl desktop [04:58] is it possible to launch a daemon after everything has been launched? like, right before (or after) the login prompt - after x11 has started?

And everytime I run wine it falls back to that "default setting" of 640x480... How can I change this? [05:08] hydrogen: loosepixels? [05:08] or pixellover [05:09] just got grub working, and I have to say this is the best ubuntu ever, by far.

[05:09] Driver Question: What is the "Lucent/Agere linmodem controller driver" / is says that it is enabled (checked) but a red circle with "Not in use" is underneath the Status. Is that a problem?

[05:09] ack [05:09] lol [05:10] RandomUsr: But I don't use repos for Compiz, so I can't help you with that. Sorry [05:10] cry [05:10] is there a skype room? [05:10] i need someone to help me with Gutsy!! [05:10] Hey, has there been a fix for compiz to let the video live thumbnails work correctly? [05:10] it's I can type [05:10] sorry to sk here [05:10] Hello. I can't seem to change the refresh rate on my monitor. I'm using an ATI card and compiz is working fine otherwise. Any ideas?

[05:11] hydrogen: thanks for the suggestion :) [05:11] btw fyda, compiz is working kinda nasty on 7.10 works great still on Feisty tho [05:11] hello, is it normal that in glxinfo the display is 1, or should it be 0? [05:11] thats funny [05:11] i need help with gutsy, someone please message me! [05:11] as it works fine for me on 7.10 and liked to explode on 7.04 [05:11] Does anyone know of a fix for video thumbnails in compiz? [05:11] !ask | lomez [05:11] lomez: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [05:11] works great on feisty [05:11] it works great for me on both [05:11] ok, for one, how to i downgrade to gaim from feisty, i dont like the new pidgin [05:11] there is that less pr0ntastic? [05:11] pixelpusher: I like that one lol [05:11] im playing wow under wine with compiz on and everything is silky smooth [05:12] mm [05:12] I was doing that too earlier :) [05:12] hydrogen it could be a goofed up install on my part aka re-writing partitions on multiple drives incorrectly [05:12] IdleOne, yeah i should of just tried that, hahaha [05:12] my favorite part was playing with opacity of wow [05:12] so that I could still pay attention to the important irc channels [05:12] without actually alt-tabbing [05:12] ok, since that didnt work, question number two. since ive upgraded to 7.10, firefox constantly crashes, it never is open for more than a second [05:12] anyone doing OpenSoundControl stuff in ubuntu? [05:12] what does this mean Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 1971 packets, 365K bytes) [05:13] in my iptables [05:13] Hey guys. I was just messing around with truecrypt. I installed Forcefield and it doesn't work. I can't uninstall it or get the icon off. Any help? [05:13] ok so basic question... i need to move /var/www another drive like /media/data/www [05:13] lomez: there has been an update to ff since the release of gutsy. not sure if you have it or if it will help... [05:13] and then make it writeable by me and www-data [05:13] lomez, Are you getting any error messages? [05:13] sudo apt-get remove package? [05:13] lomez: try to start firefox from the command line and see if an error is printed that might be helpful [05:13] RB2, nope. it just closes [05:13] seems simple enough but everytime i create a file only i have access [05:13] pixelpusher: sudo mv /var/www /media/data/www [05:13] ok [05:14] err [05:14] i did it successfully before without changin the umask but i so dont remeber what i did [05:14] it'd be smarter to use rsync or something [05:14] pixelpusher: sudo chmod 666 filename-here [05:14] yep i got an error [05:14] rather than a general mv [05:14] as a just-in-case [05:14] may i get some help configuring a network card? [05:14] bbl checking and updating from repos [05:14] oh also, on my logitech mouse (mx310) I've got page back/page forward buttons that don't do anything in ubuntu and I really miss them... any way to make them function? [05:14] lomez: I am not a firefox expert at all, but maybe Googling for that error will help in finding the issue [05:14] RandomUsr: I have compiz from head on Feisty, which I don't feel like upgrading. The other machine is half-borked after a failed upgrade. Compiz from Gutsy live CD works great though [05:14] doesnt that make it world writeable though? [05:14] !mouse | dzer0 [05:14] dzer0: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [05:15] thanks [05:15] i want only me.. and apache.. or better yet a specific group [05:15] containing myself apache and maybe some other users [05:15] http://pastebin.ca/746327 [05:15] thats the error [05:15] rsync -a preserves permissions [05:15] are there any other channels with gnome specific help? ##gnome doesnt seem too active [05:15] rsync -av /var/www/ /media/data/www [05:16] wish me luck...about to partition my drive [05:16] nownott: why are you messing with IPTABLES directly? [05:16] is there a way to boot ubuntu *without* initramfs/initrd ? [05:16] Clutchsama: suerte! [05:16] lomez: Googling gave me this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/myspell/+bug/111886 [05:16] lomez, After making sure you are up-to-date, I'd run that error past the folks in #firefox.

[05:17] do i want LVM? [05:17] hydrogen: done that, built monolithic kernel, but it doesn't seem to want to work that way [05:17] heehee [05:17] clay: iwconfig takes essid and key parameters [05:17] will be dual booting with OSX [05:17] it is but i can't think of a better way to describe what i want [05:17] thr1lljockey: what doesn't want to work? [05:17] NolanG, Nice catch. [05:17] yo, my monitor conks out with "out of range" about 4 seconds into boot...does this correspond to X beign started VERY early? or the boot loader passing onto linux a little late? [05:17] clay: direct messages if you want people to catch em [05:17] it's like on the windows side you can tell it to connect with the password "mypassword" [05:18] but in ubuntu there isn't that option [05:18] or rather in my gnome app [05:18] clay: i think the real key is just the hex version of that ascii string?? or not..? [05:18] hydrogen: i get a kernel panic, even though i've got everything necessary for my hardware built-in [05:18] RB2: Thanks [05:18] Is there some way I can stop this from occuring? http://rafb.net/p/xtwx7J56.html [05:18] !upgrade [05:18] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [05:18] I'm obviously replacing sudo-ldap with sudo, so there is no issue [05:18] my sound drivers stopped working in feisty, and I haven't been able to get any help with it on the forums [05:18] kevin_121, yes for the reg wep but i want a diff standard i guess [05:18] i want wpa [05:19] hydrogen: i'm not a newbie, and i've been able to get a non-initrd bootup with several other distros on this hardware using the same .config [05:19] why am I losing so many packets on my 7.10 install? (Ethernet, to first-hop router, by IP address, so not a DNS problem!) Doesn't happen on the 7.10 LiveCD! [05:19] where can i start to try and fix this? [05:19] fujin: what on earth are you doing? :D [05:19] I'm trying to replace sudo with sudo-ldap, automatically with Puppet. [05:19] may i get some help configuring a network card? [05:19] Theoretically it should be easy, pass the enviorment value, but that's nto working [05:19] so I'm looking at alternates [05:20] fujin: sure you're setting it correctly? [05:20] thr1lljockey: without knowing more of what you are doing.. theres no way to give an answer.. at the same time I really don't want to get involved in a really long session tracking it down at this point.. I should be sleeping soon. [05:20] fujin: you could try setting a root password [05:20] Yes indeed. [05:20] I need help reinstalling drivers for my soundcard, they stopped working with the kernel upgrade [05:20] ianm1: That doesn't work, have tried that route too === Administrador_ is now known as fernandopadro [05:20] may i get some help configuring a network card?

[05:21] fujin: you could just -x the binary [05:21] is it normal for the partition tool to stop at 60% for some time? [05:21] That's not what I'm trying to do. [05:21] can anyone help me with sound drivers? [05:22] thr1lljockey: right. but theres one thousand things that could be going wrong due to ubuntu expecting an initrd by default. [05:22] Clutchsama: nope [05:22] Hi, I tried in #kiba-dock, but everyone seems afk. Could someone look the errors I'm getting from make? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [05:22] limao: is it safe at this point to reboot and start again? [05:22] oh [05:22] never mind [05:22] it moved [05:22] no [05:22] wpa_passphrase might be what im looking for [05:22] thank christ [05:22] hydrogen: yeah that's kind of what i was getting at... it's clearly not just a kernel config issue. thanks again [05:22] can anyone help me with sound drivers? [05:22] anyone? Help on refresh rate and not using my laptops screen? [05:23] Clutchsama: just do not reboot, unless you're pretty sure it's completely hung =P [05:23] clay: yeah im not sure, not too much wpa experience. I think iwconfig can deal with it too but i dont see any reference to it in man [05:23] Question: I have XGL and compiz installed. But only some of the effects are responding.

[05:27] Hey guys. What is a good Object/Application dock for Ubuntu? [05:27] lomez: check /etc/fstab [05:28] nownott: edit what [05:28] nownott: ...too much happening... [05:28] ok jmg, i see it there [05:28] Hey wonderfully helpful ubuntu irc people. I have a poser (well at least from my POV). Is it possible that my latest gutsy install could be somehow knocking out my net connection? What happens is: I log in and the machine connects to the wifi router no trouble, then I have a connection for 5 minutes or so and then the connection drops. Not just for me though. For another machine connected via wifi and for a machine connected via cable [05:28] card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] [05:28] Subdevices: 0/1 [05:28] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [05:28] card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem] [05:28] Subdevices: 1/1 [05:28] Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [05:28] ianm1: iptables [05:28] !paste > Humanzy [05:28] davubuntu: doesnt sound possible [05:28] Humanzy: ok, that means ubuntu is detecting your soundcard [05:29] Is there any way to go back to a previous svn version? Fromm 500 to 498? [05:29] davubuntu: does it happen when you dont connect from your gutsy install? [05:29] zengen: man svn [05:29] nownott: well, what are you trying to do exactly? [05:29] you can check out specific versions === yell0w_ is now known as yell8w [05:29] jmg, I thought it was a dns problem but then why would it work for XP and my neighbours have the same ISP and they have no problems. I'm not sure what you mean with your question? [05:29] alright, thanks, does that mean there's something wrong with alsa? [05:30] ianm1: open up ftp, http, ssh, and get it setup for vpn [05:30] jmg, if I log into XP all three machines connect and stay connected just fine [05:30] davubuntu: very strange [05:30] jmg, the net actually starts working for them just fine. [05:30] nownott: have you tried Firestarter ? not sure how much it can do but worth a look [05:30] firestarterse not that bad [05:30] maybe your ubuntu is running a rogue dhcp server [05:30] Is there an application launcher like ObjectDock for Ubuntu? [05:31] Humanzy: probably, just one second, im trying to figure out what driver your soundcard uses.. i think stac92xx using hda-intel [05:31] well im just on a terminal ssh'd in right now [05:31] jmg, how would it do that? [05:31] what actually happens? can you continue to ping the router? can you see your other machines on the network? [05:31] davubuntu: if its running dhcp it may override the one running on your server. apt-get remove dhcpd [05:31] jmg, it's just like a dns server outage. [05:31] er router [05:31] it's onboard sound with ati graphics and amd 64 proccessor [05:31] jmg, I can still get email and i can chat use skype etc but I can't get webpages at all [05:31] davubuntu: so you can continue to access via ip address, just the dns goes away? [05:32] ianm1: im ssh'd in right now [05:32] jmg, correct [05:32] how do i access compiz [05:32] and what happens when you try to resolve a dns name? [05:32] waittt [05:32] Really stupid question, how do I check what ver of ubuntu I'm running? [05:32] which repo is it in? [05:32] jmg, Hmm, what does that mean? [05:32] nextse7en: lsb_release [05:32] nextse7en: cat /etc/issue [05:32] can be found in synaptic? [05:33] Thanks both. [05:33] davubuntu: for instance open a terminal and type "host www.google.com" [05:33] davubuntu: in terminal do host google.com [05:33] nownott: ahh, in that case I recommend you hit a #linux or a #debian, it's more focused on the hardcore command line stuff [05:33] davubuntu: does it show info about google ips etc [05:33] man, i dont think they did a good job on gutsy, or at least the upgrade. i am having all kinds of problems [05:33] jmg, I get output. What do you want me to tell you? [05:33] lomez: reinstall [05:34] ussr, yes [05:34] Humanzy: try typing "sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" [05:34] usser, yes [05:34] hi guys i have an interesting problem [05:34] jmg nah, ive got too much important stuff on here. is there any way to downgrade? [05:34] davubuntu: what is the result? [05:34] davubuntu: and it pings fine too? [05:34] lomez: downgrade is not supported. did you use automatix on your old install? [05:34] jmg no [05:34] however, right now I have a connection. [05:34] lomez: reinstall to a different partition [05:34] #irc.plasa.com [05:34] I don't know how long it will last though [05:34] i cant burn iso image right somehow [05:34] jmg: d'you think a reinstall would fix LiveCD network OK, 7.10 network drops many packets? [05:35] there was no output [05:35] jmg but for example, now ive got two different sessions, Gnome, and Gnome with XGL. but both of them load up Beryl now [05:35] spacewrench: possibly, are there any open bugs in launchpad? [05:35] so i cant get any hardware acceleration [05:35] lomez: that is broken [05:35] Upgrading to Gutsy screwed up my "default pointer" cursor theme. The DMZ and HumanAzul2 themes are still there, but GDM and XFCE won't see them. [05:35] jmg: haven't found any that match. [05:35] lomez: you must have had a third party package [05:35] jmg, okay I just loaded firefox and now the machines have all lost connection [05:35] Gnome does though. [05:35] :-\ [05:35] wtf when i type startx i get cannot start /etc/x11/x [05:35] hey, I have a noobish openoffice question. what function would I use to devide collumn 2(gross pay) by 3 to get collumn 3(taxes)? [05:36] davubuntu: ok so what does the console do now? [05:36] jmg isnt beryl a third party package? [05:36] jmg: (I posted one, but no joy yet) [05:36] guys gusy [05:36] jmg, same thing [05:36] i think beryl comes with gutsy [05:36] Humanzy: try and test something to see if you have sound now. remember to unmute thins. theoretically that should load your soundcard [05:36] whats the right way to burn the iso image [05:36] alright [05:36] davubuntu: telnet www.google.com 80 [05:36] GET / [05:36] old-ass_p2: try =c2/3 [05:36] old-ass_p2: you should be able to do = (click on the first cell)/3 while having cell 3 selected [05:36] GET / HTTP/1.0 [05:36] do that on one row.. then fill down [05:36] lomez: beryl in feisty was in ubuntu's repos, unless you were using ati with xgl in which case you were using beryl's 3rd party repo [05:37] i cant burn gutsy iso to cd [05:37] !compiz [05:37] 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 [05:37] it gives error everytime [05:37] arg [05:37] I have mp3, AAC, and DRMed WMA that I'd like to play.

[05:38] sigh, now ive gotta reset all the settings [05:38] lomez: you would have to anyway [05:38] lomez: beryl and compiz fusion put their settings in different places. they changed too much to keep the settings [05:38] canii: Again, go grab imgburn, it works with Vista. [05:38] davubuntu: any output? [05:38] Humanzy: that should mean theres is a problem with your drivers themselves, I would try reinstalling them from source from alsa-project.org [05:38] jmg, oh sorry. Done... what's supposed to happen... [05:39] hammer to pc [05:39] jmg, no nothing [05:39] ok [05:39] alright, how would i install Compiz Fusion now?

[05:39] hi there, is there a way to run an application on usb connection? i would like to load gnome-obex-server when i plug in my bluetooth dongle, and possibly terminate the application when it's unplugged. any ideas? [05:39] lomez: it's installed by default [05:39] ill try that [05:39] ill be bak [05:39] anyone doing OpenSoundControl stuff in ubuntu? [05:39] thanks [05:39] anyone in here play eve online? [05:39] lomez: i suggest installing compizconfig-settings-manager to be able to have more control [05:39] alright thank you [05:39] davubuntu: push enter twice [05:39] how do i install the desktop i dont think gnome is installed [05:39] ok macogw, but how do i disable composite rendering so i use hardware acceleration? [05:39] lomez: http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com/2007/10/compiz-fusion-notification-area-icon.html if you want a notification area icon (like beryl's gem) [05:40] jmg, done... nothing [05:40] nownott: why do you say that? [05:40] nvm i got it i think. when i did install gnome it had 400+ packages to install [05:40] lomez: idk. what kind of card do you have? [05:40] ATI x300 radeon, i think, not sure [05:40] has anyone succesfully setup internet connection sharing? [05:40] whats fluxbox [05:41] nownott: gnome should come and install automatically with ubuntu [05:41] fluxbox is a window manager like blackbox... [05:41] i ahve the server edition if that matters any [05:41] fluxbox <3 [05:41] it's simplistic [05:41] * prohna just upgraded to gutsy gibbon [05:41] prohna: fluxbox is a lightweight window manager [05:41] got error messages when I tried =c2/3 [05:41] fluxbox is great for speed [05:41] * lomez is going nuts from gutsy, messed up firefox, beryl, my fstab settings, aya [05:41] Prohna: http://www.google.com/search?q=fluxbox [05:41] is there a benefit to it? [05:41] highly configurable [05:41] what are the cons? [05:42] you have to configure it :) [05:42] lomez: ati anything newer than radeon 9250 needs xgl to do the compositing. i think the X series is the one that's being just plain craptastic though (at least, it was in feisty) [05:42] i see [05:42] lol lomez [05:42] that is a con for me lol [05:42] fluxbox is not really a good choice for most users [05:42] ubutnu really sucks [05:42] and i will never use it after this upgrade [05:42] what's the make of the STAC 92xx? [05:42] k thix [05:42] its really really really stoneage in terms of configuration [05:42] macogw so i cant have my cake and eat it too anymore, huh. [05:42] fluxbox is really useful for kernel hackers tbf [05:42] obso: thanks for the feedback! [05:42] old-ass_p2: sorry, it's something close to that. Try clicking in the cell where you want the result, type = then click the cell you want to divide. That should pop a cell name into the text bar. Put "/3" after that, then return. [05:42] lomez: well i dont know how it works [05:42] err [05:42] Humanzy: sigmatel [05:42] damnit i should not have upgrade [05:42] d [05:43] i only asked cause i was looking at gnome themes and saw one i really liked [05:43] lomez: you could ask in #ubuntu-effects and see if someone there knows about a way to do both [05:43] but it was fluxbox [05:43] I'm not really sure what a desktop has to do with programming for the kernel [05:43] thank you [05:43] but! [05:43] lomez: its not ubuntus fault [05:43] is it just me or is epiphany slow [05:43] its slow. [05:43] its built on the same core as firefox [05:43] what do youe xpect [05:43] poor obso [05:43] expect [05:43] hydrogen, fluxbox uses low resources ^_^ [05:43] too bad opera isnt oss [05:43] matx: so what? [05:43] how do i download compfiz? [05:44] quote handy if you want to optimise kernel code ^_^ [05:44] opera is still the best browser out there currently [05:44] *quite [05:44] yep [05:44] matx: err.. that makes no sense [05:44] opera isn't best for me... too complicated [05:44] has safari been ported to linux yet? [05:44] optimizing kernel code because your desktop uses low resources? [05:44] hydrogen: let the wookie win [05:44] :( [05:44] 500+ homes lost in san diego so far [05:44] toodlez: synaptic package manager search for "compiz" [05:44] jmg, I hit enter twice.... nothing happened. What do I do now? [05:44] nefoia: no but there is a webkit based browser i forget its name [05:44] blah, tell me no one here has ever setup a dhcp server or setup internet connection sharing? === opendoor is now known as luandao [05:44] :\ [05:44] nefoia: qt will have a webkit based browser (and theres one in the works for gtk) soon [05:44] 1 minute before i go to sleep [05:44] davubuntu: here is what it looks like on my side http://www.pastebin.org/5659 [05:45] * LiMaO trying some other linux distro's using virtualbox [05:45] my god ubuntu now randomly dims my lcd screen [05:45] why [05:45] never set up ICS for a GNU/Linux machine before [05:45] WHY!? [05:45] Rabid: long time ago, dhcp. no internet connections haring on Ubuntu [05:45] lomez: could you do it on feisty? [05:45] RabidWeezle: search google for bridging thats one way or packet forwarding the other [05:45] ive forgotton how to list usb device sin linux [05:45] thatsss very odd mrunagi [05:45] lsusb [05:45] lsusb [05:45] RabidWeezle: i only did it the first way [05:45] :( beat me to it :P [05:45] macogw yes, i just had to switch between XGL and non-XGL sessions [05:45] how do i access a graphical process manager pls? [05:45] cheers hydrogen [05:45] nefoia: that's pretty much what konqueror is, except the other way around. safari is based on konqueror's rendering engine [05:45] does anyone know how to get steam to work in gutsy? [05:45] bridging will work ehh? [05:45] theres got to be a setting somewhere thats doing it [05:45] RabidWeezle: u have to have bridge utils installed [05:45] i dont like the gnome version of xchat [05:45] red22: open system monitor [05:45] red22: system > administration > system monitor [05:45] jmg, of course, I can't look at that because my connection is gone. [05:46] davubuntu: :( [05:46] chaosrl, wine or cedega [05:46] macogw: i wasn't aware of that [05:46] my brightness settings reset on start-up.. brightness is evil [05:46] cedega costs money [05:46] LiMaO: got it, ty [05:46] chalcedony, use wine, dont use cedega [05:46] whoa, too many peoples! you kids are too fast for me! [05:46] i actually have it installed through wine [05:46] cedegais a rip off [05:46] it's just i can't get it to run [05:46] red22: remember that sometimes your gui may hang aswell.. then you gotta use 'top' on a terminal to kill some process [05:46] nefoia: yep, it's KHTML, and then Safari uses Webkit which is a framework built on KHTML [05:46] i'll get 7.10 running on my macbook if and when i find myself bothered [05:46] yeah it is matx... virtually nothing works with it [05:46] it locks up when the "install gecko" window comes up [05:46] RabidWeezle: it should [05:46] can I bridge to a router via eth0 and get my net on wireless with bridging? usser [05:46] nefoia: lots of apps in OSX are built on Webkit [05:46] perhaps it'd work better if more people were willing to contribute [05:47] theres some good tutorials on google for installing steam [05:47] I'm using ubuntustudio and I can't play CD's [05:47] i wonder if 7.10 supports it properly [05:47] riotkittie: to what? [05:47] macogw: that's rather interesting [05:47] RabidWeezle: dont really understand what are u trying to do [05:47] i followed one [05:47] chaosrl, it migth work without gecko, try to cancel out of gecko installation [05:47] RabidWeezle: sorry i gotta catch some sleep [05:47] well, i did that in feisty, but the whole window locks up in gutsy [05:47] lol [05:47] k [05:47] that means that the news flashes won't appear in Steam [05:47] I'm a newbie [05:47] ugh [05:47] jmg, so does it sound like my machine is doing this to you? I mean symptomatically it appears to be. I log into XP it works fine. I log into gutsy it works fine for 10-15mins then everything goes haywire. [05:48] lol [05:48] ought it try to uninstall and reinstall? [05:48] ujamaatech: so is most of the channel [05:48] macogw: cedega [05:48] Hey there, I have a Realtek 8185, I have heard via the bug list that you can't hook up to encrypted wireless networks with it. Indeed, I seem to be getting a kernel panic whenever I try. Any good ideas for making this work? Is there a fix or a workaround? I have attempted to use ndiswrapper; however, I got an invalid driver error, I assume this has something to do with the driver being one made for vista. [05:48] riotkittie: its closed source [05:48] maybe chaosrl [05:48] Omneh: maybe ndiswrapper + windows driver? [05:48] macogw: really? oh in that case, cedega sucks. [05:48] does using "uninstaller" in terminal completely uninstall the programs? [05:48] Omneh: nevermind. i dont read [05:49] 0mneh: is there an xp driver? [05:49] haha [05:49] ubuntu teases me [05:49] steam works fine for me in wine 0.9.47 :D [05:49] just letting you know [05:49] kevin_121, not to my knowledge, there isn't one on the Gateway website. [05:49] ok so i think i read somewhere that it should be perfectly safe to write to your ntfs drives (winxp) from linux now (7.10) ? [05:49] But that's not saying much at all. [05:49] can some one help [05:49] but is 7.10 a 'great' improvement from 7.04? [05:49] matx: 0.9.47? is that newer than 0.9.46? [05:49] is there any way to define a software raid setup using gparted? [05:50] apparently it is chalcedony [05:50] riotkittie: it uses Wine libraries, but Wine is LGPL so they can link to Wine without releasing their other code (just modifications to Wine's libraries) [05:50] jmg, do you have any other advice as to what I can do? Should I just post a forum entry and hope someone has an idea there. I just don't even know where to start. [05:50] nefoia: 7.10 is great. it just doesn't work properly yet ;) [05:50] when is ubuntu 8.04 out [05:50] the numbers are a good hint [05:50] red22: yes [05:50] red32, with ntfs-3g if was perfect for 7.04 [05:50] nefoia: incremental improvement... [05:50] davubuntu: im inclined to blame an upstream proxy [05:50] mrunagi: april 2008 [05:50] :P [05:50] i like 7.10 i just really wish hibernation would work [05:50] ahh macogw :T [05:50] mrunagi: by 04 (April) 2008, as the version number suggests [05:50] what about if you turn off all your other machines, does the connection still dorp? === Venomous is now known as venomousice [05:50] jmg, meaning at the isp level? [05:50] drop* [05:50] yo, my monitor conks out with "out of range" about 4 seconds into boot...does this correspond to X beign started VERY early? or the boot loader passing onto linux a little late? [05:50] chaosrl: of course. is 47 > 46? [05:50] Im using ubuntustudio [05:50] probably 24th April [05:51] version number suggest? [05:51] 7.10 wont even install on my computer :( [05:51] "not enough HD space, it says :( [05:51] izz: try the alternate cd? [05:51] lol [05:51] yeah my display does the same thing [05:51] use a smaller distro :P [05:51] aldraughan: was that to me? [05:51] mrunagi: if you haven't noticed, the version numbers mean the YEAR . the MONTH [05:51] izz: can't install to a floppy disk these days :p [05:51] web site says you need 4 GB.. [05:51] i didnt notice [05:51] i tried upgrading through my current install [05:51] macogw: yeah, that was a dumb question. [05:51] really? cuz it told me i needed 16 gb free [05:51] macogw + lomez: ty. just trying to spare future grief... does 7.10 use ntfs-3g by default now? [05:51] davubuntu: thats the only thing i can think of [05:52] ouch [05:52] 'm just looking for a distro i can develop on with my macbook [05:52] red22: yes [05:52] davubuntu: very very bizarre [05:52] I think 4 gb is for a fresh install, not an upgrade.. maybe? [05:52] izz: that's silly. i installed it on a 5gb hard drive before [05:52] red22 i believe 7.10 has ntfs support out of the box, but not positive [05:52] really? now thats weird [05:52] anyone got an app out yet to brute force every damn .inf file for ndiswrapper? I'm getting sick and tired of these remodeled broadcom wireless devices :( [05:52] izz: you only need 2gb [05:52] aldraughan: no? [05:52] jmg, sorry. what's the only thing? trying to turn the other machines off or the upstream proxy thing? [05:52] hallo! after installing gutsy-gibbon i have no windows-borders using using beryl with emerald - can someone help please? [05:52] 16gb to upgrade? what they hay do you have installed?!? [05:52] sorry, what? [05:52] you know what.. i really love ubuntu.. but i gotta admit that i'm testing opensuse on a virtualbox hehe [05:52] izz: my root partition is 2gb. that computer now runs debian though because debian+e17 is faster than ubuntu [05:53] davubuntu: both, i cant see how your machine would stop port 80 [05:53] Hey all, which repository contains the package "linux-tree"? [05:53] aldraughan: were you saying you had the same display problem as me? or were you talkign to someone else? [05:53] warriorness: check packages.ubuntu.com [05:53] Hey how can set set a directory that says if any person from the user group has read and wire premission [05:53] Any chance anyone has any idea how I can mute my dv6604nr laptop speakers and use my headphones? or preferably as soon as I plug in my headphones? [05:53] yes my display goes out of range right after boot as well, it has a time there before the drivers kick in [05:54] virtualbox <3 [05:54] aldraughan: what monitor and graphics card do you have? [05:54] elninja: so headphone jack sensing is not working? [05:54] jmg, okay the other mahcines are off and now my firefox pages are loading [05:54] aldraughan: i get around it by booting via recovery mode, you? [05:54] nvidia with viewsonic [05:54] hmm strange [05:54] jmg, I hit reload and it's all back. [05:54] after installing gutsy-gibbon i have no window-borders using beryl with emerald - can someone help please? [05:54] i ignore it it does come up on its on [05:54] davubuntu: yay [05:54] aldraughan: i'm using nvidia too. viewsonic lcd? i've got a dell lcd... [05:54] is there any way to define a software raid setup using gparted? [05:55] yes lcd [05:55] venomousice: its not defined in gparted [05:55] aldraughan: oh, i get out of range and thats it [05:55] jmg, ... sort of yay! what about the other mahcines? One is my girlfriends and the other is my son's and we all need them at the same time. [05:55] casiox: reload emerald? [05:55] macogw + lomez: yeah ntfs-3g is installed by default in 7.10 BUT, how can i verify that my windows mounts are using this driver/package to be absolutely sure pls? fstab only says type "ntfs" not something calming like "ntfs-3g" so i'm not sure. [05:55] ububtu and suse where the only two distros i got to work with my graffix card [05:55] hi, gutsy gibbon upgrade left me with a really slow rendering screen. scrolling in windows is really slow [05:55] red22, i couldnt tell you, im having problems with ntfs on gutsy myself [05:55] jmg: let me rephrase. Can I create and change a software raid in gparted? [05:56] red22: try to write to it. if you get permission denied, it's not in-use. if you don't, you're dandy [05:56] oh sorry to hear that mine comes up after like 20 seconds [05:56] hi i been trying to find easy cam to install but i think all versions are french which i wont be able to understand, cn any1 help pls/ [05:56] red22: dmesg [05:56] wait a little longer on next boot and see [05:56] aldraughan: so your monitor conks out when its finished with the bootloader and goes back when the X graphics driver taks over? [05:56] aldraughan: which exact nvidia card do you have? [05:56] yes it comes back when drivers load, an nvidia screen apears forst [05:57] Hello, I am having trouble installing my sound drivers on Ubuntu [05:57] : reloading window-manager or window-decorator doesn't work :-( [05:57] i have old card, old geforce [05:57] aldraughan: ah, maybe i should try waiting longer. [05:57] jmg_: dmesg | grep ntfs returns nothing... [05:57] hi all [05:57] this an old pIII machine here [05:57] anyone else have a problem with firefox right after installing gibbon? [05:57] red22: what about grep fuse? [05:58] yeah wait a little longer it wil load [05:58] wont let me download anything [05:58] has anyone used xubuntu? [05:58] i need a hand mv a file in a terminal [05:58] is there a function in openoffice to get a dropdown box? [05:58] or is that completely different [05:58] XML Parsing Error: not well-formed [05:58] Location: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/unknownContentType.xul [05:58] Line Number 1, Column 7:Target(mimeSource, valueProperty, true); [05:58] ------^ [05:58] izz, I've used Xubuntu, it's nice, but games don't work right on it [05:58] which package is the on, where i can right-click inside a gnome windows, and say open terminal (run terminal in current directory)> [05:58] ? [05:58] hELLO? [05:58] Hello?* [05:58] macogw: yes that returns something about "fuse init" and version [05:58] i need help with my sound drivers [05:58] elninja: updating alsa should make hp jack sensing work [05:58] aldraughan: i have an old geforce too! i have a geforce4 mx420, you? [05:59] macogw: what does that mean / what is fuse? [05:59] !sound [05:59] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [05:59] jmg, so... what does this mean to you? The other mahcines are running feisty and edgy [05:59] anyone doing OpenSoundControl stuff in ubuntu? [05:59] sec ill look [05:59] Can anyone recommend a package or software that I can use to identify wifi networks in my area, and see what frequency they are on, so I know where I'll get the least interruption? [05:59] Is there any way to emulate MAC OS X on linux, much like I did windows with virtualbox? [05:59] aldraughan: (lspci) [05:59] red22: fuse has to do with filesystems. i know ntfs-3g uses it [05:59] davubuntu: FIIK [05:59] does anyone know why i might be having problems loading into ubuntu? i have it installed via the alternate CD because it would seem nothing graphical was loading and now I am having the exact same problem trying to actually boot into it after it is installed. [05:59] PurpZeY: kismet [05:59] can anyone tell me why i get this error when running ccsm from command line "AttributeError: 'compizconfig.Plugin' object has no attribute 'Initialized'"? [05:59] anyone know why my some icons wont show up on my desktop (trashcan/home/volumes) but folders will [05:59] if that made any sense.. [05:59] xJonnyx134: what graphics card? [06:00] i i need to view a page with shockwave, how can i do this in ubuntu? [06:00] anyone else upgrade to gutsy and have their wireless fail on them? [06:00] 8800gts [06:00] * eek waves hello & has ? [06:00] jmg, FIIK too. [06:00] how do you empty the trash in terminal [06:00] thanks kevin_121 [06:00] yeah gforce2 4oo [06:00] xJonnyx134: you might need to install another nvidia driver for that, i dont know which [06:00] !nvdia [06:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about nvdia - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:00] !nvidia [06:00] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:00] mrunagi: rm -rf ~/.Trash [06:00] how do i search for a file in my hard drive please? [06:00] does anyone know how to enable digital audio out? [06:00] jmg, what was that thing you said about dhcp again? [06:01] Is it possible to run MAC OS X in virtualbox? [06:01] how can I change the resolution of the desktop on the livecd? [06:01] omegaweopon: no [06:01] how would i install a different driver for something i cannt load into? [06:01] omegaweopon: not legally [06:01] davubuntu: i wondered if your machine was running dhcpd. ps aux |grep dhcpd [06:01] everything works great after drive kicks in [06:01] Alien18: places->search for files [06:01] driver* [06:01] prakriti: ctrl alt + [06:01] woudl it make a difference that i am running a dual boot of windows? [06:01] during a from source compile I get checking for X... no [06:01] mrunagi: be very careful with such commands :D [06:01] it tries to boot at 1024x768 but my screen can only handle 800x600 [06:01] aldraughan: i assume if you booted into recovery mode, you'd be fine like me. i'm trying to find out from someone here the difference in graphics between recovery mode and vanilla mode, but noone will tell me [06:01] How do I install XLib to make it happy [06:01] ? [06:01] scriptdevil : I need to do it at boot time [06:01] how do i reinstall the drivers to Intel 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device? The screen seems to be rendering really slowly since my upgrade to gutsy [06:01] that sound thing didn't work [06:01] mrunagi: don't mistype it! [06:01] navaburo: apt-get install the source package [06:01] jmg, "dave 10510 0.0 0.0 4780 1388 pts/0 R+ 23:01 0:00 grep dhcpd [06:01] " [06:01] well.. i dont get you [06:01] scriptdevil : can i force it? is there a kernel switch? [06:01] i copied and pasted [06:01] i need to view a page with shockwave, how can i do this in ubuntu? [06:01] youll get an nvidia screen first then computer loads [06:02] yeah.... i suppose vga=774 [06:02] jmg, does that look all normal. [06:02] myusrnm: are you using gutsy? [06:02] im happy the way it is this machine never gets turn off anyways, haha [06:02] i am not sure [06:02] From the looks of it I can emulate it in windows.... but that means I have to emulate windows..... oh god no, I just divided OS's by zero [06:02] scriptdevil : will that affect X? [06:02] mrunagi: there are commands with very very similar syntax that can delete a lot more than you meant to [06:02] no [06:02] i'm moving stuff in a term put canr enter the proper place how does the line complete? /wp-content/plugins/subscribe2$ mv subscribe2/ [06:02] im running a gateway ml3109, and the sound doesn't work. i don't know how to do the commands, but when i try, all these error messages come up [06:02] davubuntu: yes [06:02] kevin_121, no i'm not on gusty yet [06:02] i want it in plugins [06:02] scriptdevil: isnt framebuffer still broken on gutsy? [06:02] Is there anyone around to discuss in detail why certain upgrade methods behave differently? I would like to hear why a clean install is better than gksu "update-manager -c" and why sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard is the least reliable. [06:02] macogw: i dunno [06:02] amagle [06:03] jjjjjj [06:03] im running a gateway ml3109, and the sound doesn't work. i don't know how to do the commands, but when i try, all these error messages come up [06:03] aldraughan: yeah, me too. but it still bothers me. i must be anal [06:03] the only diference is the 3d accelleration has been disabled and the all the perks removed from os [06:03] myusrnm: then I recommend u download a program called automatix. It will help you install flash [06:03] jmg_: Last time when I read the description, it said kismet only identified B networks, that just inaccurate? [06:03] scriptdevil: i had to disable framebuffer because the tty's run but there's no text on them if framebuffer's enabled. i dont know if that's been fixed since beta though === rob1 is now known as rob === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [06:03] jmg, okay.

[06:04] haha [06:05] its not on mute [06:05] PurpZeY: yes [06:05] does the "screen and graphics" part of administration effect ONLY X??? [06:05] its something to do with the drivers [06:05] hello?

[06:06] ive already looked at this forum, i don't know how to run the commands, but when i do, all the error messages come up [06:06] nownott: do you have gdm?

(pastebin) [06:07] jacquesmerde: that's framebuffer. it's broken in gutsy AFAIk [06:07] umm, just a sec [06:07] jacquesmerde: it was broken as of a week and a half ago [06:07] how do i reinstall the drivers to Intel 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device? The screen seems to be rendering really slowly since my upgrade to gutsy. i heard someone mention framebuffer is broken. could it be that? [06:07] if you dont know how to run commands... ah forget it. !pastebin your errors and tell us what your sound device is (lspci if youre unsure) [06:07] what does apt-get build-dep do? [06:07] Gun_Smoke: no i dont.. i personally dislike certain types of packaging [06:07] philwhln: framebuffer is only in tty and before X starts [06:07] do i use 'terminal' for the commands? [06:07] anyone have a moment to help? [06:07] macogw: yeah, exactly. does it effect the framebuffer? i would presume all those settings are in grub to be passed to the kernel [06:08] Hey there, I have a Realtek 8185, I have heard via the bug list that you can't hook up to encrypted wireless networks with it. Indeed, I seem to be getting a kernel panic whenever I try. Any good ideas for making this work? Is there a fix or a workaround? I have attempted to use ndiswrapper; however, I upon attempting to connect again it locked up again, is there any way to make sure that you're using the ndiswrapped driver automagically? [06:08] robbster1: of course [06:08] ok [06:08] macogw: ah ok, thanks [06:08] jacquesmerde: framebuffer is sent in grub. if you enable it there, it will disable your tty [06:08] omneh: blacklist the other driver [06:08] jmg, additional info: I just lost my connection again. I decided to try unchecking enable networking and then reenable it. and I got the connection back. Does that help? [06:08] i finished my install of ubuntu, and now it's rebooted [06:08] philwhln: use the screens and graphics thing to pick the driver. you should probably use the i810 driver [06:08] riotkittie, how? [06:08] omneh: add blacklist drivername to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [06:08] what does apt-get build-dep do?

[06:09] robbster1: what command was that? that is for installing alsa from source [06:09] macogw: hold on, ubuntu doesn't seem to use a framebuffer by default. what are you talking about? [06:09] scriptdevil: Why have different types. To stay with your food analogy, doen't really matter how we eat it.. It's all going to the same place.... Right? [06:10] How many thermal sensors does the Intel Pentium M processor have? [06:10] robbster1: and you need to download that package to do that. but that may not be necessary just yet [06:10] macogw: yeah, it seems to be set to i810 ok [06:10] scriptdevil but does it do it even if everything is ok? or that only installs packages that i need and i dont have?

[06:21] fabio, you should run metacity as well. [06:21] huh? [06:21] Omneh: done [06:22] jacquesmerde, fixed? [06:22] who can remote desktop with me and fix my compiz? [06:22] Omneh u know what butons i talking=??? [06:22] what's the recommendation for migrating from 32bit to 64bit remotely?

[06:22] Omneh: yeah, i was already running metacity, i just wanted to know whether i have to give up on the bling. compiz was also bringing up Terminals as completely blank windows...so i just gave up [06:23] how do you print your ssh keys for launchpad [06:23] how Omneh [06:24] metacity is only a window decorator, jacquesmerde, it shouldn't be preventing or supplanting compiz. [06:24] Unless it's late and I'm tired and the gnome window decorator is called something different. [06:24] Which is likely. [06:24] Anyone want to tell me why the "Deskbar" applet in Gutsy is in a window now? Or is it just me?

[06:25] i have compiz? [06:25] But your problem, jacquesmerde, is that you don't have a window decorator running, Kwin, Metacity, and Emerald are the most common ones. [06:25] can anyone help me with OpenOffice? [06:25] Omneh: metacity is a window manager [06:25] Omneh: well, metacity is a window manager, not just a decorator. my understanding was that compiz replaces metacity, not emrely augments it, but i may be wrong [06:25] Omneh: gtk-window-decorator is the window decorator [06:25] hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu-desktop from a base installed system, but everytime I tried to install it asked for my cd, and the cd is kind of corrupted, so is there anyway to change it to a network install? [06:25] macogw, thanks. [06:25] jacquesmerde, run that. [06:25] jacquesmerde: you're right [06:25] Omneh i have compiz [06:25] fabio, do the same.

[06:26] q_a_z_steve: that's a public gpg key. it's plain text. open it in Text Editor or vim or nano or emacs...or just import it [06:26] How can I make sure my ndiswrapped driver loads (at startup or at all)? [06:26] Doesn anyone konw the difference between VMWare workstation and MVWare player? [06:26] why after i close a program the desktop leaves a outline of the window and does not dissapear? [06:26] macogw: per OSALT.com I should be able to, some stupid newsletter... [06:26] VMWare workstation allows you to create images. ChrisC36 [06:26] q_a_z_steve: well since it's plain text, OOo *should* be able to open it, but tbat' be just plain silly [06:27] can anybody help me setup a epson all in one (printer,scanner and copier in) in linux.? [06:27] is there a ubuntu command/window comparable to the task manager in windows and how do you force quit and application?

[06:27] macogw: it's not plain text, I'm positive it's not gpg [06:27] I'm trying to install ubuntu-desktop from a base installed system, but everytime I tried to install it asked for my cd, and the cd is kind of corrupted, so is there anyway to change it to a network install?

[06:28] Omneh: but say is alredy a windows manager running [06:28] q_a_z_steve: *shrug* only thing ive ever seen end in .pub were gpg things. you could try just changing the file extension to something else and seeing if OOo will open it [06:28] whats a good program to unrar files like file.r00 , file.r01 , file.r02 ? [06:28] Screen expansion in Ubuntu just does not work....! [06:28] why do they say it does? [06:28] macogw: so i take it compiz isn't supposed to have window borders and titlebars? that means i can only resize from right-clicking in the taskbar, and selecting resize, but i can only resize horizontally, not vertically [06:28] Omneh: dude, i make ANYone look smart [06:28] Bonster, use 7zip [06:29] /sigh, you hear so much about the *community* but when I have a legitimate problem I get zero help, not even an "I don't know".

(As in, have you gotten the OS for VM player from a third party?) [06:29] anytime I run fglrxinfo my computer crashes back to the login menu [06:29] 3 button wat? [06:29] jacquesmerde: ALT-F2, then run ccsm, and see if it's enabled. [06:29] mao42, is there a way to make this come up with ctrl+alt+del? [06:30] I have tried everything to get my video drivers to work ( I have an ati x1800) and nothing has worked [06:30] Bonster: the 3 buttons minimize maximize close [06:30] jacquesmerde, you're running linux, that's a start. [06:30] jacquesmerde: yes it should have them. you were right that metacity+compiz=impossible. [06:30] :) [06:30] Omneh, there are websites that will create VMs for free that you can use with vmware-player [06:30] jacquesmerde: Try running "gtk-window-decorator --replace &", that's to launch the window decorator which provides titlebars and borders. [06:30] mao42: ccsm, no such thing in PATH [06:30] I can't troubleshoot without fglrxinfo either [06:30] use ur mouse? [06:30] jacquesmerde: you should be able to use either emerald or gtk-window-decorator with compiz though [06:30] macogw: what's the n00b way of settign that up?

[06:43] thnx [06:43] is there [06:44] hello, can someone help me pretty please? [06:44] u probally need to update [06:44] avis: no you just need to add the "commercial" repository is all [06:44] !ask robbster1 [06:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask robbster1 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:44] I'm looking for help with encryption of a /home partition, while using a USB pen drive key [06:44] dennisharrison, i have a 8500GT working in gutsy [06:44] !ask | robbster1 [06:44] robbster1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [06:44] avis, did you just use the restricted driver manager to isntall nvidia-glx-new ? [06:44] i have been [06:44] thedonvaughn: Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS \n \l [06:44] robbster1: highly recommend you follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting before you really worry about installing alsa from source [06:44] and i never knew there was a commercial repository [06:44] is that server or desktop [06:45] i have already troubleshooted [06:45] Does S-video work in Gutsy? [06:45] i need to install the drivers [06:45] dennisharrison, yes i sure did. when i installed from desktop cd i selected to use restricted drivers so when i booted into X the first time it had them ready for me. [06:45] robbster1: ok, what commands are you using to compile and install them [06:45] but the darn thing wont let me [06:45] an0n1m0us: if you've got GNOME there's a very good chance it's the desktop (you can install GNOME on the server install, and remove it from desktop, but that's rare) [06:46] zetheroo: i dunno about gutsy, but in feisty i used my s-video out several times [06:46] dennisharrison, that would be during the installation. choose to use restricted drivers. then when i boot first into X its good. i had to adjust my resolution manually. [06:46] nvidia geforce go 6600 [06:46] avis, that has been the experience with my laptop as well, what display are you using for the 8500 ? [06:46] Ademan; was it just automatic? [06:46] Anyone know how to change what is displayed in audacious [06:46] Bonster: i don't see any commercial repository in my synaptic [06:46] robbster1: are you following any instructions for installing alsa from source? [06:46] dennisharrison, 1680x1050 [06:46] <[chr0n0s]> you use s-video out in what type of devices ? [06:46] sainry: Know anything about installing the new drivers? I followed the quick install guide on ALSA's Wiki, but the compiling of the libraries gives me an error. Permission denied (even when running with sudo) when accessing something called cards.lo [06:46] avis, same here... trying to use a samsung 226bw [06:46] zetheroo: no :-/, i had to dick around in xorg.conf (and then restart X), but the new GUI should handle that for you now [06:46] thanks Ademan it's definitely got GNOME but isnt there an absolute way to be sure whether it's server/desktop? Reason it I know I upgraded it but don't remember from what, to what/how [06:47] whats the command to give write access to your external drive? [06:47] an0n1m0us: well if you've got GNOME, i'd be willing to bet a lot of money it's desktop [06:47] dennisharrison, it should work did you do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg after booting into X from the wrong resolution ? [06:47] Ademan: well the new Screens and Graphics GUI is useless [06:47] yes, i am following instructions, but i don't understand them [06:47] Reng: chmod the mount point? [06:47] avis, you changed resolution in xorg.conf ? [06:47] agreed zetheroo [06:47] zetheroo: really? i haven't used it personally but it looked pretty good [06:47] the forum keeps telling me to follow the directions on the patch thing, but there's no instructions! [06:47] dennisharrison, yes i sure did doing a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but be sure to make a backup first if your not familiar [06:47] loL [06:47] avis, that is the funny part, I did that, but no matter what I set in x, I get the same geometry on the monitor [06:47] Ademan: thanks, I'll run on that assumption for now [06:48] thanks [06:48] how do I convert to Server? [06:48] jmg, just FYI there are bunch of people with the same problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3607235#post3607235 . Sorry for bugging you. I would have looked at the forums first but I wasn't even sure it was a gutsy problem.... and I couldn't get to the forums because the connection problem prevented it :) [06:48] Mith36 Ademan ..... agreed .. it looks good... but just does not work! [06:48] is that possible without a completefresh install? [06:48] hello. could anyone tell me how to find a program that i installed on my machine? (i'm fairly a newbie, can you guess?) [06:48] I think messing with it messed up my system enough I am going to format [06:48] what does "sudo chown" command do? [06:48] Once you enabled the third party repos and update Synapitics list, Opera will show up [06:48] dennisharrison, i have been told that all nvidia cards should work. did you restart your x server ? sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (then again with start) [06:48] But Firefox is better IMO [06:48] and how to set up the system to *always* show me the hidden files? [06:49] hey all hows it going.. my question would be what is the easiest way to setup a dual boot ubuntu/xp system.. using 1 harddrive... i just intalled gutsy and was only offered the guided and manual partition options.. i'm doing a presentation over the installation of a dual boot system and i don't want to be on the end of the clubs members flames [06:49] Bonster: and when i sudo apt-get install opera it says Package opera is not available, but is referred to by another package. [06:49] Ademan: its really a sore point for Ubuntu because many people want to plug into external displays... for me its doing presentations..... Ubuntu is useless in this regard [06:49] avis, I just did used a script to bring the init level down and up [06:49] Anyone know where amarok stores the mySQL database? [06:49] Bonster: E: Package opera has no installation candidate [06:49] <[chr0n0s]> zandos : go for manual [06:49] zandos: The way I did it was Vista first, resize partition, then Ubuntu. [06:49] <[chr0n0s]> Mith36, it's on mysql server [06:49] avis, this is REALLY hurting my brain :) Just want my gorgeous new monitor to work. Been on a 21 inch crt for years! heh [06:49] Kevin_121: Do you mind if i PM you? [06:50] Anyone here use audacious alot? [06:50] [chr0n0s]: can the database be retrieved? I am going to format and I don't want to lose all my tags [06:50] sudo chown -R john ubuntu-source/ < I keep getting permission denied...even though I'm root..any ideas?! [06:51] dennisharrison, i dont know what to tell you. i have the dkpg-reconfigure detect my lcd rates. i also tell it to only use 1680x1050 and then restart the x server should work. if you've given up you might want to try "envy" for gutsy and rebuild your kernel using that though alot of people frown on it, its worked for me, if you suspect the restricted driver doesn't work [06:51] well i personally don't have a problem setting up a dual boot system manually.. just looking for something simple of the club members [06:51] zandos: I think you can used gparted from Ubuntu to resize the driver for a second partition [06:51] what does mean this error: " Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault." ? [06:51] Then try installing XP [06:51] avis, I have gone a step further and even just built the nvidia driver from source in the official download script [06:51] ah, proc and sys were mounted [06:51] hey to you all [06:51] dennisharrison, i'm going to assume you unchecked the resolutions you dont want the only one you do. there is a way to switch between them but i never learned it [06:52] avis, thanks for the leg up though, I am thinking now I might have a doa card [06:52] what does it mean this error: " Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault." ? [06:52] dennisharrison, you just might [06:52] zandos: I dunno if XP will play nice and create a boot menu though, so look up info online about that [06:52] murdl === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [06:52] Question: My fans are constantly running at 100%. how do i stop this? (in gutsy) [06:52] check ur add/remove [06:52] Has anyone reported bugs about the Screen and Graphics functionality? [06:52] hey guys [06:52] can someone give me a hint how i can disable the 'low graphics dialog/check' in gutsy? [06:52] and search opera [06:52] sweet, right to a ubuntu channle :) hi [06:52] Bonster: ok [06:53] avis, yeah, was hoping it was a bug .. and someone had a fix :) like "OH! yeah... 8600 gts, just put this modeline in your x, devs forgot to do blah blah blah with refresh detect on those.. haha *chuckle*" [06:53] oh well :) [06:53] I need some help, every time i try to install some dependecies for awn, it asks me to insert my Gutsy install cd, how do i get rid of this annoying mesage? [06:53] any wine paltalk users here, via gutsy? [06:53] Bonster: how it is there but not in repos [06:54] =) [06:54] Borat: install the CD! :) [06:54] donno just gotta check all place [06:54] Ok, I have a gateway ml3109. If you send me a forum about it, ive read it. I am having problems with my sound, i can't get it to install the drivers.

I am following the instructions on the forum, but they are [06:54] n2diy_ but i dont have mine :) [06:54] they just don't make sense [06:55] Borat: hmm, can you DL one?

[07:01] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=511876&page=3 [07:01] Clutchsama: i'm not sure. does ubuntu have a driver for the osx file system? [07:01] robbster1: if it says it can't find the directory, it's possible that you need to switch to that directory first. [07:01] i dont know how [07:01] Nobody? [07:01] is there an ext2fs for osx? [07:01] Does anyone know what the difference between VMWare workstation and VMWare server is? [07:01] robbster1: Change directory by typing cf. [07:01] cd* [07:01] robbster1: /cd/new/directory. [07:02] Mine isn't [chr0n0s] which is why I want someone's xorg.conf that is working :) [07:02] k [07:02] thank you [07:02] <[chr0n0s]> Mith36, have you installed drivers ? [07:02] robbster1: is the machine your talking about a laptop? [07:02] Jimd1: for OS X, check out macfuse (Google it) and on Linux, use hfsplus [07:02] it says no such file or directory when i put that [07:02] I would like something like an RSS reader widget stuck _on_ my desktop - something like a desktop widget that's part of the background.. is there something like this? [07:02] I've installed them about 20 times actually. They just don't seme to be working for me. Fglrxinfo crashes my system [07:02] 7.04 worked fine [07:02] Erm, can anyone help me with my display problem? It's somewhere up there. [07:02] a sidebar or something that is viewable only when the minimise all windows? [07:03] robbster1, it may be worth trying Ubuntu 7.10, rather than still using 7.04 - lots of fixes in 7.10, especially for laptops. [07:03] Jimd1: yes there is [07:03] rouben: I was trying to give Clutchsama a place to start. i wasn't actually asking [07:03] i am on 7.10 [07:03] 9with clickable links etc.) [07:03] robbster1: According to the instructions, you downloaded a file called "alsa-driver-1.0.15rc1.tar.gz", no? [07:03] <[chr0n0s]> Mith36, try envy? !envy [07:03] ubotu: tell robbster1 about cli [07:03] in your forum post it says 7.04 [07:03] :p [07:03] Jimd1: heh, my bad. :) [07:03] robbster1: Where did you put it? [07:03] yes, i did [07:03] or is that someone else [07:03] <[chr0n0s]> !envy | Mith36 [07:03] Mith36: 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! [07:03] I've used envy the last 5 or 6 tries. didn't work either [07:03] robbster1: If you just used Firefox to download it, then it probably saved to your desktop. [07:03] <[chr0n0s]> axjv, one question, why are you using that command [07:03] robbster1: try "touch /cd/new/directory." [07:03] heh [07:03] jimd1 and rouben: thanks for your input! i don't see hfs in the ubuntu selecter...ext2 is the way to go? [07:04] i moved them from my desktop to a file on my desktop named "alsa" [07:04] all of the files it tells me to are in there [07:04] robbster1: cd ~/Desktop/alsa [07:04] [chr0n0s]: I saw it posted in a forum to test for errors in the monitor sending the "I'm closing" command. [07:04] robbster1, this channel is a bit busy to understand people sometimes...it may be worth asking in #ubuntu-uk (or wherever you're from) [07:04] it's really odd that fglrxinfo crashes my system. I can't find any other reports of that on the whole web. [07:04] hello [07:04] i just installed nvidia drivers, it's good, my xorg.conf file looks good, all of the resolutions i want, but i cannot seem to enable them thru the resolution manager gui, how do I change the default resolution without that gui? [07:04] [chr0n0s]: It's strange, because if I just monitor the output, it works properly. [07:04] i have a problem with my internet connection [07:04] it is unbelievably frustrating :| [07:04] or is ext3 better? [07:05] im using ubuntu 7.10 [07:05] clutchsama: the issue is whether ubuntu can read/write hpfs+ through built in drivers for via drivers you can add. the other side of the coin is to get osx to see and use the ext2/3 file system. (ext3 is ext2 with journaling). [07:05] ckerthreads.org [07:05] Clutchsama: hfs ? what? [07:05] Mith36, it could be something as random as overheating [07:05] <[chr0n0s]> Mith36, i haven't heard it before, sorry abt that [07:05] thank you [07:05] my internet connection is not stable [07:05] hfs=macintosh file system [07:05] Overheating? my box is ice cold :P [07:05] <[chr0n0s]> axjv, sorry, you have to ask others [07:05] [chr0n0s]: Okay.

[07:10] i don't understand how to do it [07:10] Mith36: My laptop lid won't shut off when I close it. [07:10] JohnRobert: i am a noob :( [07:10] How can one use gnash in firefox? [07:10] then that po st will benefit you more than me [07:10] It doesn't seem to be there ootb. [07:10] [07:10] axjv: go into bios and tell it to suspend when you close the lid [07:11] murlidhar, you must learn how to install from source first (and understand what you're doing) for it to work really. [07:11] Jimd1: Err, so restart and press F12? [07:11] murlidhar, I recommend you don't bother if you don't want to spend a couple of hours [07:11] hi [07:11] :p === jdecoste is now known as beasty_ [07:11] JohnRobert: i am dual booting [07:11] JohnRobert: Can you possibly walk me through with installing this please? [07:11] axjv: different machines have different hotkeys. [07:11] Jimd1: I think that's already set... I just switched from windows and it worked there, so unless the liveCD reset my BIOS settings? [07:11] I feel kind of special knowing I somehow managed to create a bug on my system noone else has ever had before [07:12] axjv: the livecd did not reset your bios [07:12] is anyone able to tell me the options to select in the partition tool during ubuntu install? i want to dual boot os x and ubuntu [07:12] Jimd1: Yeah, I'm pretty sure of that... o.o [07:12] robbster1: Sorry, you're still having problems? What does it say now? [07:12] 5.1 Audio channel problem: i have an onboard sound card supporting 5.1 channels. i have tested and ran all 6 channels. but when i play an AC3 video with totem player, it only outputs stereo despite the sound settings set on AC3 passthrough. [07:12] hey axjv if you haven't already take a look at http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/dell.html [07:12] umm, it just says that the command is not found [07:13] robbster1: which command [07:13] robbster1, I am at work. [07:13] i am following the instructions, i have read them so many times, i don't know [07:13] zandos: Thanks, I'll take a look. [07:13] robbster1, the instructions may have been written by a complete idiot [07:13] i didn't see any mention of that bug but i didn't go through all the 1505 stuff [07:13] tar xfj alsa-driver-1.0.15rc1.tar.bz2 [07:13] tar xfj alsa-lib-1.0.15rc1.tar.bz2 [07:13] tar xfj alsa-utils-1.0.15rc1.tar.bz2 [07:13] patch alsa-driver-1.0.15rc1/alsa-kernel/pci/hda/patch_sigmatel.c < patch_sigmatel.c.patch-1.0.15rc1-simple [07:13] cd alsa-lib-1.0.15rc1/ [07:13] ./configure && make && make install [07:13] robbster1, you'd have better luck on the ubuntu forum [07:13] cd ../alsa-utils-1.0.15rc1/ [07:13] ./configure && make && make install [07:13] !paste [07:13] 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) [07:13] cd ../alsa-driver-1.0.15rc1/ [07:13] ./configure && make && make install [07:13] alsaconf [07:13] alsactl store [07:14] seeya [07:14] zandos: Sorry, no info in there. [07:14] and try all the distros not just ubuntu. might mention the be else where [07:14] be=bug [07:14] robbster1, it looks like you're trying to recompile alsa [07:14] I still don't get why my problem is fixed when I use lshal -m. [07:14] this isn't a good idea if you don't know what you're doing. [07:14] brb going to reboot [07:14] as you're more than likely to get nowhere [07:14] well........i don't know what i am supposed to do then. [07:15] well, have you written what the exact problem is on the forum? [07:15] what do you mean? [07:15] 'it doesn't work' isn't a good description [07:15] robbster1: One command at a time. It tells you that "tar" isn't a valid command, first of all? [07:15] yes [07:15] when you try and play something with sound, does it throw up an error, or can you just not hear anything? [07:16] i just don't hear anything [07:16] right [07:16] hello. i know i'm totally in the wrong room, but i'm new to irc and trying to join #python but it says i need to be identified, even though i've set up a screen name and password. can anyone help? i know this has to be a stupid question, so forgive me [07:16] axjv: just throw it in the river and start over :P [07:16] hmm [07:16] * JohnRobert tries to think how to fix sound problems [07:17] I had that kind of problem with sound on a laptop. I broke my system trying to compile ALSA from scratch. It turned out that the problem was fixed by a newer kernel version that came with Feisty. [07:17] Also, some mixer settings needed tweaking. [07:17] anyone please help. How to make a file permissions from -rwxr-xr-x to -rw-r--r-- [07:17] when setting a swap area in the partition tool during install can i select any partition? or does it need to be a particular one? [07:17] chmod 755 is not doing it? [07:17] the sound works fine on my desktop, but it won't on my laptop [07:18] what do you mean, the mixer settings need tweaking? === varun is now known as varun0 [07:18] robbster1: Well, in some cases, the mixer starts out muted. Also, in my case, I needed to enable an option called "External Amplifier" to get sound on my laptop. [07:18] anyone know how to make windows *not* maximize across dual monitors? [07:19] where is external amplifier? [07:19] *me gets jealous with dual monitors [07:19] robbster1: Since I don't know which sound card model you have, I can't guarantee that you would have the same settings. But for me, it's in the sound mixer. [07:20] i have a sigmatel...i don't know what model tho [07:20] zandos: All of the local rivers were closed. [07:20] :P === murlidhar_ is now known as murlidhar [07:21] arrgh. im waiting for fluxbuntu [07:21] Hello? [07:21] robbster1, type in a terminal: dmesg | grep -i sigma [07:21] it was supposed to be out hours ago [07:21] Hi! I'm trying to install Gutsy on a laptop that has no CD drive, but can boot from USB. [07:21] and then paste the results if there are any [07:21] I did: [07:21] robbster1: Okay, you did say you've seen all the forum stuff on this problem, but this thread mentions the External Amplifier option: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=276343 [07:21] % sudo dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/dev/sdb bs=1M [07:21] but the fluxbuntu people still havent uploaded the images [07:21] Where does Avant store localized data? === ALice_en_REiCIel is now known as it [07:21] with a Gutsy CD in the drive, but that doesn't boot. is there another way to prepare a bootable USB stick? [07:22] cjb: check your bios [07:22] anyone know if you can use a PCI based wifi card and make it a wireless hotspot/gateway/router ? [07:22] make sure your cd drive has higher boot priority than your hard drive [07:22] robby@bacon-laptop:~$ dmesg | grep -i sigma [07:22] robby@bacon-laptop:~$ [07:22] is there any documentation for Gutsy like there was for Feisty? [07:23] zetheroo: Documentation for what sort of thing, specifically? [07:23] z3wb: already have. [07:23] hmm [07:23] hurm [07:23] Fyda: well there is the ubuntuguide.org for Feisty [07:23] can you comp boot usb drives? [07:23] Fyda: I am looking for documentation on the Screen and Graphics GUI in Gutsy [07:24] Hello - question - I used to have an indicator on the GNOME task bar that told me when I received new mail. I think it was called the Notifier Applet. It's gone now after the Gutsy upgrade. [07:24] z3wb: yes [07:24] !graphics | zetheroo [07:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about graphics - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:24] zetheroo: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy I guess you've seen this already, and it isn't what you're looking for? [07:24] !search graphics [07:24] Found: dri, svg, xgl-#ubuntu-effects, xfs, inkscape [07:24] do you have an os currently installed on the system? [07:24] bah [07:25] anyone know whether /var/log/messages gets anything about sound devices any more? [07:25] Fyda: actually I have not seen that.... but now that I look at it ... its VERY small and insufficient [07:25] Fyda: thanks though... [07:25] cjb: you can't just unpack the iso onto a usb flash drive and boot from it? [07:26] zetheroo: I guess they are looking for help in that department :) [07:26] how big is the usb drive? [07:26] Fyda: The external amplifier option isn't there for me [07:26] Fyda: I desperately need to get screen expansion working.... [07:26] zetheroo: Multi-head? [07:27] if you already have an os installed on the computer, you may be able to install gutsy with vmware server [07:27] Did Pidgin replace Gaim? [07:27] yes [07:27] Fyda: I am not sure .... in Windows Xp its Screen Expansion... [07:27] nicholaspaul: Yes. It's the new name for Gaim. [07:27] Fyda: not cloning but extending the desktop [07:27] robbster1: the external amplifier option is in open volume control > switches [07:27] oh right. i wondered how this new app got configured automatically! [07:27] robbster1, do cat -ls /dev/audio [07:28] (at the moment, I'm just trying to see if the kernel has detected a sound card) [07:28] Is it possible to use rm and remove files in subdirectories? [07:28] (I'm also trying to think of easy ways of finding that out) [07:28] zetheroo: Sounds like dual-head (sometimes also called multi-head, if there are >2 monitors), which I don't know much about. [07:28] hi all [07:28] Casey: yes [07:28] Casey: rm -r [07:28] Casey: rm -r [07:28] Fyda: ok... [07:28] Casey: -r for recursive [07:28] Casey: That's for "recursive" removal [07:29] Is there a way I can completely remove packages, or purge the packages so when I reinstall the data is back to normal and I can reconfigure Avant, or any other software? [07:29] nickrud: Oops :P [07:29] when i install clamav packages under feisty i am asked for a password ... which one is that? [07:29] lol, quickerest [07:29] im worried; if the fluxbuntu people can't seem to get the iso ready to upload at the deadline they advertised on their main page, then how can they manage to make a decent distro? [07:29] Is there a way to get back the new mail indicator that I used to have on my GNOME task bar in Feisty? [07:29] 5.1 Audio channel problem: i have an onboard sound card supporting 5.1 channels. i have tested and ran all 6 channels. but when i play an AC3 video with totem player, it only outputs stereo despite the sound settings set on AC3 passthrough. [07:29] how can i create a partition in ubuntu? [07:30] Is anyone else having trouble with the respositories? [07:30] OK, update [07:30] Fyda: rm -r info.txt will remove info.txt in /subdir1/, /subdir2/, /subdir3/ from the root directory? [07:30] patricknev: gparted [07:30] z3wb: the other way to look at that is they were unwilling to release something that wasn't decent [07:30] perhaps [07:30] !info gparted > patricknev [07:30] How come all my dvds are pink scrambles? [07:30] z3wb: true also [07:30] I've installed libdvdcss2 [07:30] milestone: If you're doing something as root, then the password is your own (for your regular user account) [07:30] I went to switch devices, and my sigmatel is installed, but it just doesn't want to play the sounds [07:30] !info something > JohnRobert [07:30] Fyda: i am root [07:31] Necrosan, try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:31] thank you z3wb [07:31] not as root [07:31] robbster1, chances are the mixer is just turned all the way down.. [07:31] or is on mute [07:31] trying [07:31] i checked the mixer, full blast [07:31] not on mute [07:31] i am doing as root apt-get install clamav-freshclam [07:31] woot got fluxbox working!!! [07:31] robbster1, I don't mean to offend, but did you check the volume control on the laptop? [07:32] hello to you all [07:32] milestone: If you were already logged in as root, you wouldn't be asked for a password. [07:32] <[chr0n0s]> milestone, antivrus ? [07:32] (stupider things have happened) [07:32] yeah [07:32] <[chr0n0s]> milestone, antivirus ? [07:32] hmm [07:32] Hey guys I'm trying to run an 'apt-get update' and I'm getting errors like "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found" -- this is with a fresh sources.list generated by synaptic. [07:32] * Starting ClamAV virus database updater freshclam password [07:32] [chr0n0s]: yes [07:32] Another one having issues with no sound in kde after the update? [07:32] are blackbox styles and fluxbox styles completely interchangeable? [07:32] milestone: It could just be asking for a password specifically set within clamav, then? [07:32] * nickrud remembers spending a lot of time on someone's sound, and the speaker jack was just a bit loose [07:32] <[chr0n0s]> z3wb, on site the say it;s compatible one way [07:32] Anyone know how to get gnash set up in firefox? (I thought canonical said it was going to ship with gutsy?) [07:32] Fyda: clamav was never installed before [07:32] milestone: It doesn't come with any defaults? [07:33] nope [07:33] Fyda: it won't install [07:33] nickrud: I am on a laptop. no external speakers [07:33] <[chr0n0s]> BHSPitMonkey, i could not get it working, ended up with usual player [07:33] Fyda: that is what i am trying to say [07:33] but yeah gparted just totally fucked up my harddrive today [07:33] [chr0n0s], *cough*AMD64 [07:33] !themes [07:33] 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 [07:33] i was planning on dualbooting windows and ubuntu [07:33] robbster1, go into system/preferences/sound (on the menu) [07:33] milestone: Ah. But why can't you install it with sudo? [07:33] BHSPitMonkey: I think you need to install mozilla-plugin-gnash [07:33] robbster1, then hit test on the sound playback button [07:33] gparted destroyed my ntfs partition when i tried to resize it [07:34] Fyda: where would be the difference [07:34] i think its because i didnt shut down windows properly [07:34] so do that [07:34] !backup [07:34] There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [07:34] z3wb: shouldn't destroy it [07:34] Well is any one else having trouble with sound in KDE? I can get it working in Gnome just fine but not kde..... And flashplayer also has no sound anywhere [07:34] z3wb: did the same to me, don't know why. Ubuntu booted, but windows was toast [07:34] milestone: Sudo asks for your regular user password. Logging in as root would require a password which doesn't exist in the standard Ubuntu setup [07:34] <`eric-> <3 awn [07:35] Fyda: i will try it [07:35] johnrobert: no sound [07:35] nickrud, hrm, still nothing comes up. [07:35] BHSPitMonkey: that was based on a package search, I haven't tried to run gnash yet [07:35] robbster1, what is the sound playback drop down set to? [07:36] johnrobert: autodetect [07:36] BHSPitMonkey: are you sure you're pointing gnash at flash 7 or 8, it doesn't run 9 (and not sure about 8) [07:37] nickrud, trying various flash instances, the pages just have blank areas on them [07:37] nickrud, let me try something. [07:37] robbster1, what are the options on that dropdown? [07:37] BHSPitMonkey: none of the devs seem to be hanging around right now, maybe if you ask later [07:37] its still pink [07:37] wtf [07:38] chown -R us ./base [07:38] my dvd burner wont eject. how do i make it eject? [07:38] AutoDetect [07:38] Modem [07:38] Analog [07:38] Asla [07:38] ESD [07:38] OSS [07:38] flood! :p [07:38] nicholaspaul: try sudo eject [07:38] unmount it [07:38] nicholaspaul: stick a paperclip in the hole [07:38] lol yeah [07:38] or that [07:38] * Xacarith starts to wonder if part of the problem is lack of any volume control in kde.... [07:38] /join [07:39] monkey__: welcome ;p [07:39] nickrud: wow. Thanks! [07:39] robbster1, it seems the kernel hasn't detected your sound card [07:39] oh [07:39] you must have a very weird sound card. [07:39] nicholaspaul: yw. A holdover from the bad old days of cd's :) [07:39] lol [07:39] very. [07:40] nickrud: hahah [07:40] what's the model of laptop again? [07:40] * Xacarith wonders too why he talks to him self in here any more... [07:40] * nickrud mumbles a lot too [07:40] (hint: buy a lenovo/ibm laptop next time) === adante_ is now known as adante [07:40] nickrud: ?? [07:40] hello room. question: i'm running ubuntu 7.10 and just installed vim via synaptic, but can't find it in the either the menu or the menu editor. any thoughts? [07:40] monkey__: an attempt at humor on your /join [07:40] jak1, you can add it to the menu manually, but vim is a console application [07:40] it looks like it recognized it, because the name is right there "Sigmatel STAC9200" [07:41] oh right [07:41] where's that? [07:41] guy i'm currently installing all the updates in edgy before upgrading to gutsy [07:41] jak1: it's a console app, start console and type vim [07:41] nickrud, success [07:41] Hey all. I just updated to gutsy but now my sonata mpd can't find my library. I have changed to /media/hda6/music (my folder) in both the program and mpdconf but it still finds nothing. Have I missed anything? [07:41] in change device [07:41] jak1: install gvim to get the gui version, it'll show up on the menu [07:41] i had beryl not fusion ...instsalled before...should i remove it before the upgrade? [07:41] jak1, there is gvim, which is a gui(ish) version of vim which will appear on your menu. [07:41] btw, vim ftw [07:41] nickrud: the / come out twice and too many keys to delete =_) [07:41] nickrud, I had old libflashplayer.so's sitting around in plugin dirs, cleaned them out, all is well [07:41] BHSPitMonkey: cool [07:41] Good morning [07:42] Anyone know a new email notification icon for Gutsy ? [07:42] JohnRobert: In change device [07:42] imsry. my mistake. gvim is the version i installed via synaptic [07:42] i have a "small" problem :( anyhow i am not possible to get Dualscreen running with Ubunutu 7.10 [07:42] bernd__: card? [07:42] can someone give me a suggestion? [07:42] firefox has been quite uncooperative since I upgraded to gutsy. are there any known extensions that might cause problems on 7.10? [07:42] geForce Go 7600 [07:42] i've heard its the best python ide and i'm looking to try that language out [07:42] works perfect with ZETA and Windows [07:42] i had beryl not fusion ...instsalled before...should i remove it before the upgrade? [07:42] guy i'm currently installing all the updates in edgy before upgrading to gutsy [07:42] bernd__: Monitor types? [07:42] jak1: try killall gnome-panel, it will auto restart. Also something from the bad old days, the panel has been better behaved recently [07:42] its a Laptop and a TFT (external) [07:43] bernd__: Try defining the external monitor using Generic LCD and the max resolution [07:43] is JohnRobert still here? [07:43] yes [07:43] zoidberg_: going from edgy directly to gutsy isn't really supported; only one release jump at a time. [07:43] So... why would certain MP3s in my collection play fine in XMMS but come out double-speed on Audacious? [07:43] bernd__: Then, try different resolutions, until you find one that works [07:43] I'm just doing real life work at the same time as speaking to you. [07:43] it says that in "change device" [07:43] bernd__: That's what I had to do with my two monitors. Took a while [07:43] lol [07:44] where is 'change device' [07:44] desertc: the problem is that my configuration for the Screen only shows me one screen [07:44] how do i install a FlashPlayer (which by default uses mozilla install path) into Opera without Wine, any parameters? [07:44] * Xacarith is running dual screens with a Geforce 6600le Took installing nvidia drivers and enabling xinerama [07:44] is there a different way to configure the external one? [07:44] uhh, Open Volume Control>File>Change Device [07:44] does anyone know where I can adjust compiz settings? [07:44] <[chr0n0s]> MSTK, try typing ccsm [07:44] bernd__: say again? Your configuration where? [07:44] thanks [07:44] MSTK: install compizconfig-settings-manager , it'll be in the prefs menu as advanced desktop settings [07:44] desertc: when i click to system and then Screenresolution [07:45] there is onle the Laptopscreen i can setup [07:45] nickrud - yeah, i got that. thanks [07:45] hello, yesterday i tried to install the gutsy version and i got a udevd message error when the cd is booting, i tried with three differents cds. thanks [07:45] hmm robbster1 [07:45] does tracker not index hidden files? and if it doesn't can i force it to? [07:45] sounds like it should work [07:45] bernd__: I never used that application ---- it gives me an error. I used Screen and Graphics [07:45] :-( [07:45] nickrud: thx the killall worked. appreciate it [07:46] hiiii [07:46] jak1: yw [07:46] but the problem is, the sounds isn't there [07:46] Can no one tell me what they are using for email notification? You all aren't going to check your web mail every couple minutes, I know that. [07:46] nickrud, edgy was the last one...gutsy is the next...it should be supported [07:46] does any one here use kde? [07:46] guys any idea how to remotely disable compiz? [07:46] hiiiii [07:46] desertc: gmail manager [07:46] HIII [07:46] zoidberg_: you missed feisty in there, it's in between [07:46] nickrud, i'm sorry i meant i have feisty...my bad dunno what i was thinking...lol [07:47] D, E, F, G :) Hence the next one is H. [07:47] zoidberg_: np, that's good to hear [07:47] robbster1, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/134351 << you might find this interesting read [07:47] jmg: Thank you [07:47] is the new wine going to be added to the community repository? [07:47] im trying to get itunes 7 running under wine on ubuntu 7.10 [07:48] wine yes [07:48] just d/l it [07:48] surprised the fix didn't make it to gutsy though... [07:48] <`eric-> mtholdenss: let me know if you accomplish that :P [07:48] mtholdenss: I don't use wine much, but winehq usually hosts builds of the latest version [07:48] mtholdenss, when the next version of Ubuntu is released, yes. No version changes in Ubuntu repos in between releases. [07:49] ntholdenss follow these instrucions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine [07:49] desertc: what is the other way to set my resolution if not thru the menubar?

[08:22] thr1lljockey Thats what i was told, any way to avoid this? [08:22] rocketeer: i'm not sure what caused the panic... could be completely unrelated to network stuffs [08:22] haru: cheers [08:22] hello, when booting the gutsy cd i got a black screen with "udevd-event[2293] run_progran: /sbin/modprobe abnormal exit, i tried with i386 and 64bit cd with the same error.

I switched from a dsl modem/router to a d-link and when i boot with the d-link, i get no sound at all. [08:23] haru, finally package size wouldnt be saved on the local system unless its stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [08:23] thr1lljockey: yes, no problems with anything but networking....i thought maybe it was just the driver [08:23] It's been triaged. Ah well. I'm sure it will be fixed by Hardy [08:23] naught101: dpkg-query has switches for that, [08:23] but network card detets the network [08:23] is Madpilot round and not busy? [08:24] nickrud: I've been looking at the man page, I can't figure it out [08:24] rocketeer: using restricted drivers? [08:24] thr1lljockey: not sure, how do i check on that [08:24] nickrud, only by installed size , not by installer size :) [08:24] In Gutsy, my gnome apps fonts are more blurry than at Feisty. OpenOffice is just OK. What's wrong? [08:24] well.. 2 problems have occured for me after upgrading. 1. OpenOffice.Org no longer launches (complains about missing window manager) 2. java applets no longer launches [08:25] naught101: it's complex, yes, and haru you get what you can :) [08:25] seems my problem may be at the end of the queue.. [08:25] QT-4 fonts are also OK [08:25] rocketeer: if you were using them, you'd probably know... there's a big bright banner talking about restricted drivers when you log in (if there are any installed) [08:25] does anybody know how to clone ubuntu configuration to different computer? [08:25] aptitude -O installsize search '~i' works, but doesn't list the sizes [08:25] !torrents [08:25] Torrent downloads for the Ubuntu ISOs are available on all the download pages.

[08:26] My Ubuntu server seems to malfunction when i beat it with a hamemr. Is there something I'm doing wrong? [08:26] haru: actually, it has installed size and size, could probably format the output and pipe it through sort. [08:26] thr1lljockey: no, nothing special on start, network card detects the network just fine, kernel panic happens on connect [08:26] *hammer [08:26] rocketeer: does the laptop have an rj45 port? you can try a hardwire connection to your router/gateway [08:26] z3wb, hit harder use a heavier hammer [08:26] hmm, so mplayer and xine [which i assume are both using xv] only show a solid blue image [08:26] z3wb: you need a larger hammer.

[08:29] $ aptitude -O installsize search '~i' -F %p [08:29] n2diy_: ?? I can't activate DMA, I want to . . . [08:29] i have a problem with my harddisk space where deleting files doesnt seem change anything on the capacity of storage space? [08:29] tarntow: empty trash? [08:29] rocketeer: it would be ideal to isolate the issue to either a driver or the networking code... my best suggestion would be switch drivers (as you'd be doing switching to feisty) or test a different network device with the current kernel (by connecting via hardwire instead of wireless) [08:29] \q [08:29] aftertaf: trash is empty [08:30] aptitude to the rescue again, gotta learn some more switches I guess [08:30] nickrud, i tried alsa, oss and aoss for firefoxrc [flash] :( still no sounds.. any ideas? [08:30] right, then. gutsy cd finished burning. rebooting now. wish me luck [08:30] what's everyone's preferred usenet client? [08:30] i currently use pan [08:30] good luck z3wb d00de [08:30] aftertaf: DMA isn't working, I'd try to bypass it. [08:30] z3wb: good luck. hope you got space on /boot [08:30] haru: no, I've been very lucky with linux and sound. Never had any problems [08:31] i install an application, how to make it auto start when ubuntu load? [08:31] n2diy_: with the nodma switch in grub? could that make my system respond a bit better? [08:31] thr1lljockey: as I can't do the hard wire connection (maybe i could go to kinkos and try) I guess I'll have to roll back to fawn and see if that fixes it. Not a problem. but I guess I need to know how to do that [08:31] add it to sessions ook_male [08:31] aftertaf: Yes, it may. [08:31] pathos: thunderbird? [08:31] well depending on which de u use [08:31] #Dr-Dj join please [08:31] anyone know how to fix no sound problem with flash in firefox, i have tried editing the firefoxrc for aoss and alsa and oss in vain ... :( [08:31] n2diy_: ok ill try that... SO, DMA is broken in gutsy right now???? [08:31] ook_male: do you want it to start when the Ubuntu does, or when your desktop does? If when you desktop does, you can do that under Preferences >> Sessions [08:32] stupidgirl, would you give me more keyword, what kind of sessions ? so i can do google [08:32] desktop does [08:32] thanks [08:32] um are u using gnome ook_male [08:32] no way dma is broken? Huh whut? [08:32] yer what he said ^^ [08:32] aftertaf: No, DMA drivers are hard to find, the manufactures to give theme to us, so it is hard to get them working. [08:32] stupidgirl, yes Ubuntu (Gnome) i don't modify the built in xwindow manager [08:32] #Dr-Dj join please [08:32] is there a way of listing size of each file within the home folder on one screen? [08:33] tarntow: uh, ls -l ? [08:33] do what dxdt told u then, ook_male [08:33] tarntow: ls -sh [08:33] thr1lljockey: as I can't do the hard wire connection (maybe i could go to kinkos and try) I guess I'll have to roll back to fawn and see if that fixes it. Not a problem. but I guess I need to know how to do that [08:33] !ops > dr-dj [08:33] hey my gutsy install isn't seeing my network printers... anyone know what i should do? [08:34] tarntow: if there are many files it maybe does not fit in one page... that's what pagers what written for use 'ls -sh | less' [08:34] so, the application is Psi (jabber chat client), i already open sessions... well the Psi shortcut is Applications - Internet - Psi, where is it? [08:34] Gutsy failed to properly upgrade my Feisty install. After lots of work, I've gotten it running, but I need to find a way to rerun the old cleanup that uninstalls the older Feisty packages. How can I do that? [08:34] anyone know how to fix no sound problem with flash in firefox, i have tried editing the firefoxrc for aoss and alsa and oss in vain ... :( [08:34] rocketeer: sorry, that guy was spamming me [08:34] hmm.. still no compiz. and I couldn't even log in after I unstalled that xserver-xgl [08:34] lulz I love when the ops are called and they come in and drop the banhammer [08:34] ademan: cheers [08:34] erUSUL: cheers [08:34] Hey, can anyone tell me if EVMS is working right in Gutsy now? [08:34] seriously never gets old. It always gets me to smile a tiny bit. [08:34] rocketeer: i don't know how to downgrade an install, unfortunately [08:35] thr1lljockey: bet i can use vista to format the partition and go for a clean install. [08:35] livecd can do it too [08:35] how do find out where is Psi located ? [08:35] livecd? [08:35] I've seen things about it not working before, and I noticed that it seems to be something they're dropping for some reason...which is bad for me since I have 4 500 gig drives using EVMS...heh. [08:35] rocketeer, desktop install cd [08:35] is that a command? [08:35] ook_male, locate psi [08:36] (is linux ultimate noob) [08:36] rocketeer, no its the ubuntu installation disk [08:36] oic [08:36] i have that. clean uninstall with livecd [08:36] thanks [08:36] then boot to fawn and reinstall [08:36] ? [08:36] ok [08:36] The "live" part refers to the fact that you can boot and run the OS from the CD. :) [08:36] I also an error odd error where 'changes' to new packages seem to fail due to error in 'buffer read(fd)' [08:37] Kazz: iirc evms is a lvm 'frontend' so hopefully you can use lvm tools to access your drives (evms ones are easier/pritier though) [08:37] rocketeer: when you boot from the disc, you get a fully functioning system... the install process can play nice with other linux installations, or it can happily wipe out everything on your drive. it asks first, so don't worry... [08:37] hey my gutsy install isn't seeing my network printers... anyone know what i should do? [08:37] thr1lljockey and haru: thank you so much guys [08:37] dena, invest in markers and paper [08:37] fawn is 41% downloaded and almost ready to burn [08:37] my home folder is on a separate partition and should have 27G but apparently 93% is being used ...just that i'm not sure where has all those storage space has gone? [08:38] tarntow, ls -la [08:38] tarntow, also: baobab [08:38] erUSUL: It's more than just a front end to LVM, although I'm not clear on whether or not I could still mount things with EVMS gone...I don't think I could though. :( [08:38] rocketeer: good luck, hopefully it works! [08:38] thr1lljockey and haru: thank you so much guys, I'll probably be back. I'm absolutely determined to get rid of this bloated beast otherwise knone as vista [08:38] Hi, I need a simple java editor with a compiler /link to compiler - just like ex. Textpad and Context in Windows - any ideas? [08:38] tarntow: check out Applications >> Accessories >> Disk Usage Analyzer. May give you clues where space is going since you can sort by that and such [08:39] :) good luck rocketeer [08:39] erUSUL: I think that EVMS does some things that are specific to it... [08:39] i glad for this chan. people in #ubuntu are a *lot* more helpful than in #java.... [08:39] tarntow, try du -ks * .[^.]* | sort -n [08:39] can windows write to an ext3 disc? via 3rd party spftware? [08:39] Okay, I'm trying to install the newer ALSA drivers, I've got the drivers made and installed, now I'm trying to get the library files to make, but when I make, I get: cards.c:191: fatal error: opening dependency file .deps/cards.Tpo: Permission denied [08:39] silox: Eclipse is generally used I think as __the__ java editor in GNU+Linux. I use VIM personally, but that is probably a bit more hands on then you want [08:39] julz: yes [08:39] mao42: tru sudo make..... [08:39] mao42, #alsa ppl are really nice [08:39] stupidgirl: And very, very idle [08:40] #archlinux people are jerks for the record [08:40] dxdt: Im looking for a small graphical editor... [08:40] haru: thx [08:40] aftertaf: That was with sudo make [08:40] lol dxdt so are #sabayon :P [08:40] guillem: thx [08:40] mmm Eclipse is good. Vim is tiny, but takes some learning. [08:40] dxdt: thx [08:40] erUSL, and ubuntu will enjoy that? it will work on ubuntu? [08:40] Is there anyway to stream a video? It never seems to work [08:40] silox: gedit? Scite? [08:40] hey my gutsy install isn't seeing my network printers... anyone know what i should do? [08:40] erUSUL: can u link gedit with javac? [08:40] stupidgirl: I could see that. I bet a lot of people that are there are people from #gentoo with attitude problems. [08:41] heys :) [08:41] dxdt, fo really. elitist cretins [08:41] aftertaf: Wait, just kidding, I thought I used sudo [08:41] Vim is horrible [08:41] tarntow: also ls -Al | awk '{print $8, $5}' :-) [08:41] I mean I wasn't even asking what I would call simple questions and they were being mean. Like I was asking questions about hand configuring KDM and such... it was silly. [08:41] mistone: Blasphemy [08:41] madness [08:41] SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [08:41] mistone: don't start an editor war... [08:41] I would like to have a small java editor with a consol for compiling and ability to run the java program/class directly from the program - just like ex. Textpad [08:41] aftertaf: Earlier, it would throw that error if I used it or not :P [08:42] its not that bad [08:42] mistone: lulz you beat me to it. I was going to do that. You have to wait for me to be like "Madness???" [08:42] silox, xemacs [08:42] i just downloaded Xchat and i'm wondering how to set it up so i can use the same nick in different channels [08:42] silox: dunno never tried but it has a few plugins to do "advanced" things try it out is the default gnome editor and is installed by default [08:42] Sweet, installed. [08:42] buongiorno [08:42] godfodder, settings.. preferences [08:42] i don't know how to change the fonts either [08:43] erUSUL: Yeah, Gedit is a great Editor - but i would like to have a inbuilt consol too - I found a program once - but cant remember its name :/ [08:43] c'è qualcuno che potrebbe aiutarmi riguardo il firewall? [08:43] ig ogt a headache from ubuntu... any help? [08:43] !ask | Korg [08:43] Korg: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [08:43] !it | Lejak [08:43] Lejak: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [08:43] ademan: apparently a trash file with the .local file has 19G of data...how do i go about delete that? [08:43] connect irc.quakenet.org [08:43] !headache [08:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about headache - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:43] nope [08:43] thank you [08:43] tarntow: rm -Rf .Trash/* [08:44] tarntow: or at least that's what i'd do [08:44] well it probably is the scotsch from yesterday [08:44] silox: well... try emacs *the* $EDITOR in unix ;) [08:44] tarntow: although i'm not sure i understand the situation, you've got .local inside of .Trash? [08:44] scotcsh? [08:44] yum [08:44] ademan: does files always get trapped there? i m sure i always delete stuff [08:44] nope, still can't find the settings darnit [08:44] anyone know when CONFIG_NO_HZ will be enabled for x86_64? Its been available for a few months from what I've read [08:44] balvenie [08:45] ademan: cheers [08:45] silox: http://jdee.sunsite.dk/ [08:45] nevion_, i do not [08:45] mao42: twilight zone things happen ;) [08:45] tarntow: did it work? [08:45] Is there a way to 're-use' .deb's that have upgraded one computer to upgrade another? [08:45] erUSUL: I dont like emacs :P I would like a more "graphical" clean editor - sorry to be so annoying =) [08:45] nevion_: that sounds dangerous? [08:45] askvictor, try making ur own repository [08:45] xemacs then? [08:45] heh [08:45] does anyone know a good tool for writing to an ext3 partition with windows? [08:45] askvictor: you could install a deb-cache and make the next computer use that.. [08:45] emacs hurts my fingers, i've never had flexible fingers [08:45] haru: that sounds hard and I'm lazy [08:46] I'm a vim person. Vim for life. Swap two lines in just 3 keystrokes. Beat that for laziness [08:46] askvictor, or just copy .deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives from one comp to another [08:46] I'd go compile .23 myself but I don't have the energy to deal with all the drivers I need anymore... not as young as I used to be :-) [08:46] askvictor: I guess you could burn them to a cd/dvd and tell the next computer to use that.. but I don't know if that requires something special.. like folders, special files etc [08:46] ademan: no [08:46] askvictor, alternately use apt-proxy [08:46] haru: that sounds more like it. There's no database that keeps track of what's there? [08:46] I tried to start an Emacs vs VI flamewar with my LUG and it didn't work because everyone said VIM :( so there was no argument [08:47] ademan: will try to do it from disk analyser [08:47] hey my gutsy install isn't seeing my network printers... anyone know what i should do? [08:47] askvictor, not afaik [08:47] dxdt: ownt [08:47] tarntow: rm -Rf `ls -A ~/.Trash` then [08:47] dena, what kind of network printers ? [08:47] dxdt: apparently carpal tunnel isn't in style anymore lol [08:47] dena, as in are they ip based printers? samba printer shares ? [08:47] anyone know how to fix no sound problem with flash in firefox, i have tried editing the firefoxrc for aoss and alsa and oss in vain ... :( [08:47] !pastebin [08:47] 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) [08:47] vim... sounds like a cleaning fuid? [08:47] hi ive downloaded ubuntu 7.1 last night and am now at a loss of how to install it? [08:48] pramz, both are ip based printers one brother and one hp [08:48] am lazy too... what vim? [08:48] p34ce, desktop cd or alternate install? [08:48] dena, have you tried manually adding them using the printers dialog ? [08:48] desktop [08:48] Don't get me wrong, I'm a vim person, but I wanted to start the flamewar for fun and everyone was just like "VIm rocks. "vim is perfect" etc. [08:48] p34ce, burn and boot to cd. click isntall on desktop [08:48] dxdt, vim rocks, it will even do your laundry [08:48] pramz, couldn't figure out how... i have the ip but that's all i know. [08:48] ah ok [08:48] p34ce: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ThtSFMoEdjY it's a different version, but it should be identical [08:48] why on earth do i have to have an initrd to boot a custom monolithic kernel? [08:49] dxdt, hmm maybe im too old to start a good vim vs emacs flamewar [08:49] hey guys can vlc play .wmv files? [08:49] Anyone knows why XRANDR might be 'not selecting the default resolution'? If I run xrandr -s 0 it selects the one I need.. I thought that should happen automaticly. [08:49] zoidberg_: yes [08:49] zoidberg_, some anyway [08:49] k so how do u burn on ubuntu? [08:49] julz: This tool can read-write to Ext3 filesystems from Windows; however, you get no features beyond those present in ext2. http://www.fs-driver.org/ [08:49] Beyond that, I know of nothing. [08:49] zoidberg_: yes and no. Newest ones can sometimes be choppy, older versions of the wmv play the best. For the most part, yes. [08:49] p34ce, on linux use gnomebaker or k3b, on windows use nero or something [08:49] dena, Administration -> Printing and then click on new printer [08:50] thrilljockey" maybe they would know in #ununtud-kernel? [08:50] k im on old linix [08:50] good morning, i installed ubuntu gutsy on my laptop but i have a problem in wifi, the result of iwconfig is : lo no wireless extensions and eth0 no wireless extensions. Thanks for more information [08:50] pramz, then ipp? [08:50] The_Bystander, so that can write to ext3? all i need is to write files to an ext3 disc, is this suitable? [08:50] dena, then it should see the hp printer at least, or you can add it manually [08:50] Eeewww, writing to ext3 in Windows? Are there laws against that? Hanging offense IIRC. [08:50] n2diy_: i didn't even know that channel existed! doh! thanks! hehe [08:50] dena, for the hp printer you can select appsocket/hp jetdirect [08:50] thrilljockey" uhuntud-kernel? [08:50] salmouta: you need to give us more info. What hardware? Do you happen to know what kind of wireless? What laptop brand and model? Stuffs like that. [08:50] dxdt, i'm trying to play this.wmv from this website and i'm suing the firefox mediaplayerconnectivy plugin but vlc popsup but wont play it? [08:51] p34ce: If you already have Ubuntu installed, you can just upgrade over the internet without burning a CD, but you can burn a CD too if you want, with something like GnomeBaker which may be under "Applications > Sound & Video > CD/DVD Writer GnomeBaker" if you have it installed. [08:51] thrilljockey" GL. [08:51] julz: Yes, it can do that. You won't get journalling, though, so there is a chance of corruption if you lose power, etc. [08:51] zoidberg_: oooh.. I dunno. I have bad luck with stuffs over the net so I'm not a good person to ask. If I were you I would try to download the file and see if it would then play. If it doesn't there, you might get more info at least. [08:51] Etx3 is backwards compatible with ext2. [08:51] how is to modify menus inside Applications (taskbar)? [08:51] <[chr0n0s]]> [chr0n0s]], [08:51] If you don't have it installed, install it or some other similar package. I'm sure there are a dozen ways to burn a CD in Linux. ;) [08:52] Ext3, rather. [08:52] ook_male: System >> Preferences >> Main Menu [08:52] thansk [08:52] were can i download gnomebaker or k3b, [08:52] pramz, thanks [08:52] p34ce: use synaptic under System >> Synaptic [08:52] p34ce, you can get them via synaptic [08:52] dena, np :) [08:52] The_Bystander, sweet that shouldnt be a problem then. thanks:) i was just confused i though it would work tih ext2 but not ext 3. thanks for your help :) [08:52] Hi, did anyone have problems with java after upgrading to 7.10? It works in firefox, eclipse 3.2, but eclipse 3.3 says i do not have java. I thought it was a eclipse issue, but actualy i do not have the 'java' command, the command-not-found thingy gives me a list of packages that containt it, but after instaling all the java command is still missing. [08:52] can anyone give me some help with an error regarding compiz, ccsm won't load? [08:53] Anyone in here think ZFS will ever come to Linux? I really want! [08:53] my pidgin wont start from the menu anymore.. i have to start from terminal with sudo [08:54] dxdt: There are a lot of people who are interested in it, so I'd have to guess that it will. :) [08:54] albech: lol whut? That is weird. what happens if you do a normal terminal and just do pidgin? What is the output? [08:54] my laptop is TOSHIBA A200, pentium dual-core inside, i installed linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20-16-386 madwifi-tools [08:54] ChanibaL, what does dpkg -l | grep jdk say ? [08:54] dxdt: 2 sec [08:54] oh, and /usr/bin/java: broken symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/java' [08:55] dxdt, you can use zfs via fuse [08:55] where should I report bugs about packages ? thttpd contains a bogus /etc/init.d/thttpd file [08:55] dxdt, probably not until sun releases it under GPL v2 which i doubt they will do [08:55] im in synaptic wat am i looking for and under wat heading? [08:55] in feisty [08:55] dystopianray: that's horrible! Do not want. hahah [08:55] pramz: nothing, no jdks [08:55] dystopianray: hah!, that's still nigh useless [08:55] Can someone please help me get video streams to work [08:55] pramz: that was my thinking. The license crap will prevent it [08:55] but i'm sure i have a few installed [08:55] ChanibaL, you have to install java [08:55] sun 6 for sure [08:55] pramz: the problem is that i installed it [08:55] ChanibaL, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk or you can install it through synaptic [08:55] is there any reason why dev's can't reverse engineer zfs? (really more of a reimplementation i suppose) [08:55] dxdt, other than through fuse it is unlikely to ever be part of linux unless sun releases the zfs code under the gpl [08:56] ChanibaL, did you install through synaptic or download from sun's site ? [08:56] Anyone here playing Eve Online on Ubuntu? [08:56] aptitude [08:56] does movie player play .wmv files?

[09:00] skiff: A script for installing the latest video drivers [09:00] envy is evil [09:00] sn4keeyez, which wireless card? [09:00] i don't know how to install a driver for my wireless card... === bfordzero is now known as tiaz_arien^_^ [09:00] smc 2635 [09:00] Ademan: Envy is why I can use compiz-fusion right now [09:00] skiff: envy is pure evil [09:00] Ademan, lol [09:00] sn4keeyez, what wifi chip does it use? [09:01] well thats the only hope Ive got [09:01] let me look [09:01] mao42: envy is why i had to reinstall ubuntu 15 days before feisty was released [09:01] mao42, do you mind if I msg you here ? [09:01] skiff: i disagree have you tried the restricted driver manager? [09:01] ADMtek ADM8211 [09:01] pramz: ok, now i got the jdk, but still no java command [09:01] Ademan, yeah [09:01] black screen [09:01] ChanibaL, ls -l /usr/bin/java gives what ? [09:01] joined the room [09:01] $ file /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/java: broken symbolic link to `/etc/alternatives/java' [09:01] Ademan: The restricted driver manager doesn't use up-to-date drivers [09:01] skiff: O_o, well, good luck with envy, like i said it ruined one of my systems, and i know it's done it to plenty of other ones [09:02] I've got the driver on my computer, but i don't know how to install it... [09:02] mao42: what's wrong with just using the binary installers from the vendor then? [09:02] qasim: cd /etc/apt/ [09:02] or add it to the kernel?? [09:02] sed -i 's/feisty/gutsy/g' sources.list;apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade [09:02] hi i cant find the cd burner thing [09:02] skiff: If you want to avoid Envy, try installing from the binary installers directly from AMD ATI [09:03] qasim:sed -i 's/feisty/gutsy/g' sources.list;apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade [09:03] mao42, thas what I did now [09:03] p34ce: gnomebaker or brasero are good cd burners [09:03] Ademan: yeh exactly the same. i ctrl alt f1 and got a nice big green as hulk screen [09:03] mao42, unfortunately it didnt work [09:03] had to restart [09:03] Optimus56: you couldn't ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to normal? [09:03] p34ce: there might be some other cd burner application installed by default.. not sure [09:03] mao42, I see UBUNTU loading screen, then the black screen [09:03] ChanibaL, do this [09:03] Ademan: no didnt work. did you change your xserver by chance? [09:04] mao42, could it be something to do with the dual monitors? [09:04] ChanibaL, sudo update-java-alternatives -l [09:04] does anybody know if the [09:04] Optimus56: nope, but it sounds like we both have EXTREMELY similar problems, how new are you to ubuntu? because i've had this problem with 2 nvidia drivers so far, but other ones have been fine [09:04] java-6-sun 63 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun [09:04] java-gcj 1042 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj [09:04] skiff: No idea, but try getting just one of them to work for now [09:04] ChanibaL, type sudo update-alternatives --config java [09:04] ChanibaL, and select the sun jdk [09:05] Ademan: i've been using ubuntu on a desktop with minimal problems since about may this year with 7.04 [09:05] Ademan: What's the command for making a new xorg.conf so he can have aticonfig initialize it? [09:05] hi, i am trying to install a kernel via make-kpkg, it keeps trying to create an initrd that is really massive, and running out of space [09:05] is there a way i can cut it down? [09:05] Ademan: now i'm running it on a hp laptop, and its killing me! [09:05] mao42: i don't remember, i always hand configed lol, but it's gotta be sudo dpkg-reconfigure ati or something like that [09:05] thanks, pramz it works now [09:06] ChanibaL, np. Enjoy :-) [09:06] dxdt: If you really want to try ZFS, look up what they're trying to do with FUSE and ZFS. Unfortunately it doesn't look like it's the best it can be yet, and it may or may not do what you want now, but you may be able to try it out at least. :) [09:06] mao42, I need to restore my old xorg.conf for now lol [09:06] Optimus56: if I were you i'd try a different driver version, like the new beta driver from nvidia, like i said our problems seem similar, and it seems to be driver related [09:06] skiff: Good idea. ATI cards on linux suck, it's sad. [09:06] or at least mine is definitely driver related [09:06] can someone tell me were i can get a older distro of ubuntu that will run on a and 1.5ghz and 128 mbs ram [09:06] mao42: that's all changing though [09:06] <|capirra> on windows too [09:06] since ATI released specs [09:06] BUDD}{A: xubuntu [09:06] Ademan: how do i check what nvidia driver i currently have, and how do i upgrade/change to the latest one? [09:07] okay, I simply can't get any package to be removed, upgraded or installed due to buffer_read(fd) errors [09:07] what one [09:07] Budd, why not try xubuntu... that is easy on resources [09:07] Optimus56, gutsy comes with the latest stable driver AFAIK [09:07] <|capirra> even on osx ati kinda sucks :D [09:07] doesnt matter, they all run on older systems :p [09:07] how on earth am I supposed to get this work then? :) [09:07] BUDD}{A: doesn't matter, xubuntu is made for lower specs computers, i've got it running on a 300mhz 96mb ram computer [09:07] Ademan: So I've heard, hope stuff gets around to being fixed. I wanted to be able to use dual-head for overlay, but there's a bug in the current driver -_- === |capirra is now known as capirra_ [09:07] nice thanks [09:07] adante: call it like this: INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 make-kpkg kernel_image kernel_headers [09:07] aftertaf: repost it please, I lost it in all the traffic? [09:07] mao42, have you followed any guide or something to do what you did I need more detailed instructions [09:07] So, I'm stuck with vista/ubuntu right now [09:07] that will strip the modules and save space [09:07] Optimus56: it's quite a pain in the ass, but i could walk you through it [09:07] n2diy_: if you have 5 minutes to read my pastebin..... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41797/ you can teel me if I created this problem with a fix for sth else maybe... ? [09:07] :) [09:07] can i just download the latest one [09:08] aftertaf: repost it please, I lost it in all the traffic? [09:08] I setup vista+xp + ubuntu 7.10 [09:08] n2diy_: just did :) [09:08] mao42, ewww vista. If you need to use Windows, stick with XP till Vista SP1 comes out :-) [09:08] whats the common c/c++ compiler/debugger for gnome? Oo [09:08] pramz: you know. if i upgrade, will it upgrade the vif driver as well? i tried to do the gutsy upgrade the night it release but servers were bogged. i dont want to.. but i think i might jus back up important files and start with a fresh gutsy 64bit install === assasukasse_ is now known as assasukasse [09:08] Optimus56, I would assume to, but I did a clean install and kept my old /home and /opt [09:08] KoweSix: you mean IDE? there are a ton, anjuta is probably the most used one (for GNOME) but KDevelop is a far better IDE and it will still run on GNOME [09:08] skiff: Just the one on the ubuntu site [09:09] aftertaf: it isn't appearing here? [09:09] pramz: i had so much trouble getting broadcom wireless and everything to work with this hp laptop... just to boot the live cd was a pain. i'm wondering if i'll have to do the same for gutsy [09:09] mao42, got a link? [09:09] pramz: /opt? lol, what sort of wizardry were you involved with? [09:09] n2diy_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41797/ [09:09] pramz: how did you keep the /home and /opt? [09:09] I installed three systems [09:09] Ademan, i keep my games and music in /opt [09:09] i had some issues with making files in KDev at university and at home, so i want another one :p [09:09] Optimus56, i chose to not format it [09:09] Optimus56, I have them on seperate partitions [09:09] n2diy_: you get it?? [09:09] aftertaf: roger, when I find five minutes, I'll look at it. [09:10] :) [09:10] thx [09:10] pramz: i have everything on one ext3 partition except the swap. is there any way to still keep my files? [09:10] KoweSix: well, you might try Anjuta i guess, there's also eclipse + the cdt but eclipse always seemed slow [09:10] thr1lljockey: thanks, what does that do exactly? [09:10] Ademan, as far as wizardry is concerned, that partition does have some old SSI RPG games in it [09:10] Damn xchat [09:10] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI [09:10] Try that skiff [09:10] Ademan: thanks a lot :) [09:10] KoweSix: personally i think linux really lacks any good IDEs, but i've grown quite accustomed to using vim [09:10] mao42, ty [09:11] Ademan, kdevelop is pretty good [09:11] adante: it tells make-kpkg to strip debug info (not useful for end-users) from the modules after it compiles them [09:11] it saves space [09:11] KoweSix: no problem, there are a couple other ones, but i can't think of them off the top of my head [09:11] should i get xubuntu 7.10? [09:11] I format 2 partitions in windows ,give the 2 part for ubuntu. format to ext3 to setup ubuntu. [09:11] and that's about it [09:11] Ademan, not to mention Eclipse and Netbeans [09:11] pramz: i never liked it much, though i think it's about the best linux has to offer [09:11] pramz: i mentioned eclipse lol [09:11] and i didn't realize netbeans did c++ [09:11] ahh right [09:11] KoweSix: by the way, code::blocks runs on linux too, a lot of people like that one [09:12] BUDD}{A: I see no reason why not. YOu have 128 megs of RAM, right? That's all it's supposed to need, during install. After install it should be fine with 64. [09:12] kdevelop i liked. but then again I don't really code in C/C++ anymore so I don't use it. These days its mostly python and the pydev plugin for eclipse is pretty good [09:12] yep [09:12] coul you please explain how to install gnomebaker? [09:12] great thanks for the help [09:12] p34ce: type sudo apt-get install in a terminal [09:12] monodevelop is great for c# [09:12] p34ce: start applications > add/remove [09:12] pramz: is there a way to save the /home and /opt folders if everything is on one partition? [09:12] Ademan, netbeans has plugins for C/C++ i believe, they are coming out with plugins for python and php as well [09:12] Optimus56, no [09:13] p34ce: start applications > add/remove , then search for baker and check the box in front of it [09:13] Optimus56, unless you do the upgrade instead of a clean install. Upgrade does not reformat [09:13] aftertaf: GL, that is all Greek to me. [09:13] the problem is that for a period i was totally disgusted with every IDE and i started toying with vim and emacs, and now i can't type in non-vim editors lol [09:13] GL? [09:13] Optimus56, and u don't need to save /opt unless you store something in it, i have been using /opt as a place to dump all my music and games :) [09:13] pramz: so i have to lose all my info... great. i think i'll try the upgrade tomorrow... hope i don't shoot myself in the foot [09:13] which programs to remap IR remote? [09:14] Bonster: lirc ? [09:14] Optimus56, my friend upgraded and has not lost anything so I think you should be good :) [09:14] how u remap the keys? [09:14] Bonster: config files... its pretty ugly lol [09:14] Bonster: but you can make it do whatever you want, like literally [09:14] Ademan: just out of curiousity, do you get any random freezes as well? [09:14] it can walk the dog and do your homework if you set it up [09:14] hello, i already make application auto start when Ubuntu load (after do login), but how to make the application auto minimize ? how to make it auto minimize or close.. because if i click minimize / close, the application will go the the tray (it's Psi - jabber chat client) [09:14] Optimus56: i had one when i was running compiz-fusion, but i since turned it off [09:15] is there any additional parametters on command "psi ???" to make it minimize to tray ? [09:15] Optimus56: the liveCD hardly ran at all on my laptop though, i had to install through the alternate CD, which i've never had to do since they introduced the liveCD [09:15] poo [09:15] tryed those [09:15] Bonster: depending on your remote there are probably existing config files for it though [09:15] aftertaf: GL, good luck. [09:16] i got it working [09:16] just i donno how to remap other buttons [09:16] Ademan: i also run compiz, but i get random freezes and had no idea where to start troubleshooting. i think my nvidia mobile card, compiz, nvidia driver and xserver-xgl is not the best combo... [09:16] Bonster i'd try the #lirc channel, they'd know way more than me, unless there are some gurus in here [09:16] oh alright [09:16] i wont install [09:16] Optimus56: ooohh you're using xgl? [09:17] lol n2diy_ thx... [09:17] ill try the nodma switch anyway..... :) [09:17] Optimus56: why not use aiglx? [09:17] it says some thing bout uninstallable [09:17] /straight up xorg? [09:17] Ademan: mhm i think i'm too stupid to install autogen in order to run anjuta as ide :) [09:17] anyone know how to fill this gaping hole in linux known as not having a net-enabled game of spades? or a game of spades period [09:18] tsukasa, whenever all the other bugs I currently have is worked out :) [09:18] Guys, I've lost ALL sound here in Ubuntu gutsy... is there any way of restoring that? [09:18] KoweSix: lol, well code::blocks ? i mean lots of people use and like it on windows... so i dunno [09:18] Ademan: yeah. used to get black window bug. went to #compiz. they suggested xgl. no more blackwindows. now i get green screen of shutdown shame, and random freezes :( hack one solution - break something else... [09:18] Ademan: what's aiglx? [09:18] such as no java working, no way of updating/changing packages due to weird errors from apt, and no office package, since openoffice.org refuses to launch :) [09:18] aftertaf: GL, [09:19] Ademan: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3593&package_id=3552&release_id=544928 <- which one do i need for ubuntu? :D [09:19] Optimus56: yeah xgl is never the answer lol. aiglx is accelerated indirect glx, basically an alternative to xgl for running compiz [09:19] A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept. [09:19] KoweSix: none :-p, gimme one sec [09:19] Ademan: using indirect rendering, is it slower than glx? [09:19] i have a problem...does amarok run in ubuntu (not kubuntu)? [09:19] how do i update wine to 47 from 46? [09:20] Optimus56: don't think so, and iirc xgl had trouble with running 3d games [09:20] what's command line to get BERYL for 7.10 in terminal ?! [09:20] Ademan: okay, so now i want to try aiglx... how do i switch from xgl to aiglx? [09:20] Whisperkiller: http://winehq.org/site/download-deb [09:20] Optimus56: i honeslty don't know, i never touched xgl, you might try in #ubuntu-effects [09:21] x_: gutsy has compiz fusion by default i don't know why you want beryl [09:21] Ademan: and do you know if it still solves black window bug? [09:21] if gnomebaker is in the file "home" wats its location? (like c:/were am i?) [09:21] Optimus56: no you'd still get the black window bug, but if you upgrade your driver THAT will get rid of the black window bug [09:21] ashu oops ... i didn't know .... so where is it ?! [09:21] I have lost ALL sound. Is there a way of restoring this? [09:21] p34ce: what's gnomebaker's location? [09:21] x_ i am not sure but look in system > prefernces or administration [09:21] i put it the folder home [09:22] Ademan: i've read some people still get the black window bug with the new drivers. just you get to open more windows before it happens [09:22] put what? [09:22] Hi all does anyone know a channel for ubuntu on a mac pro? Is this one ok to ask questions? [09:22] gnomebaker [09:22] x_: by the way do you know if amarok runs in Ubuntu (not kubuntu)? [09:22] Optimus56: hrm, i didn't run into it myself, but i really HATE xgl so i'd rather take the black window bug over xgl but that's just me lol [09:22] Ademan: got it installed, works now -.- dunno why tho :D [09:22] x_: ubuntu 7.04 [09:23] p34ce: what system are you on? and what are you trying to do? [09:23] ashu oh yes ... i can see it ..... ... ... i have ubuntu too , i using amarok [09:23] KoweSix: oh crap, i thought we were talking about code::blocks [09:23] x_: thanks [09:23] ashu ... yes yes it runs on 7.04 [09:23] ;D [09:23] amarok is cool but i wasn't aure if it would run in ubuntu [09:23] im trying to install gnomebaker to burn ubuntu7.10 to install it cause im running ubuntu5.10 [09:23] Ademan: nahhhh... that black window bug is REALLLLLLLY annoying. realllly. your window shows fine... press the maximize button and boom..... blackness. its bad, because you have to constantly monitor how many open windows you have. and minimize some so you can open others... its terrible [09:24] ashu, as long as the required libraries are installed, it will [09:24] ashu u suing 7.04 or 7.10 ?! [09:24] Optimus56: lol, yeah [09:24] pramz: ok thanks [09:24] p34ce: ok, so you ran sudo apt-get install gnomebaker ? [09:24] adante: any luck? [09:24] Can someone advise me on sound? I gotz none whatsoever - broken. Cani restore or not? [09:24] wat is that? [09:24] x_: 7.04 [09:24] Optimus56: that's probably part of why i just live without compiz for the moment [09:24] Question: When I run "avanat-window-navigator" I get this error: "bash: /usr/local/bin/avant-window-navigator: No such file or directory" ... I've tried removing and installing it again, but the error persists. What should i do? === Blackgoth is now known as blackgoth [09:24] p34ce: it installs gnomebaker [09:24] x_: i hav ordered 7.10 cds === blackgoth is now known as Blackgoth [09:25] so were do fnd it? [09:25] eyeRmonkey: did you build it yourself? [09:25] p34ce: did you run the command i just showed you? [09:25] thr1lljockey: still rebuilding the kernel now, i'll let you know :] [09:25] can anyone help me with a simple question about iptables? [09:25] pleas sho it again [09:25] hELLO?! [09:26] x_: ok bye got to go now.. [09:26] Ademan: err. sort of. i downloaded it. then started doing awn curves. then gave up and ran "sudo make uninstall" [09:26] beh, trackerd running amok again [09:26] p34ce: sudo apt-get install gnomebaker [09:26] ashu bye :-) [09:26] Ademan: the truth is, besides the effects, compiz really enhances my productivity. its much easier to manage windows. i really cant use ubuntu without it. especially the effect that shows all open windows with just a mouse gesture. i'm going to try upgrading to gutsy. i hope that will solve some problems [09:26] k 1 sec === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [09:27] who using COMPIZ FUSION on 7.10 ?! [09:27] its askin 4 p wrd but it wont let me typw [09:27] *type [09:27] night [09:27] Optimus56: yeah well gutsy will automatically hook you up with a new nvidia driver, which may fix your problem, and get rid of the black window bug for you (i honestly never ran into it on gutsy, maybe i was just lucky, but i mean, i used to get it in just 4 windows on feisty, and i never ran into it on gutsy... so i'm pretty confident) [09:27] aw crap [09:27] guuuuh: just ask the question.. dont ask if anyone can help [09:27] p34ce: you can type but you just can't see it [09:27] yeah, i know, but its off-topic, thats why ;P [09:27] the cursore isnt moveing [09:28] guuuuh: #ubuntu-offtopic ?

[09:29] and you want to make a route between the 2 lans? [09:29] my server has two nics, one of them is connected with another computer (client), the other is connect to wan [09:29] i tryed that but a differnt error came up [09:29] Ademan: is there any way for me remove the error about "avant-window-manager" not existing and just reinstall AWN from scratch? [09:29] i want to route the client to wan [09:29] hi all, is someone can tell me howto resolve the black splash boot ? [09:29] eyeRmonkey: when exactly does the error occur? just when you try to run it or what? [09:30] !usplash | Raph [09:30] Raph: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [09:30] Raph: hopefully that will help [09:30] Ademan: yep. all i do is try to run it from the terminal and it tells me "bash: /usr/local/bin/avant-window-navigator: No such file or directory" [09:30] Ademan: i think it is a bug on 64bits archi !

[09:32] im not thats why im trying to install 7.10 === guuuuh is now known as GuHHH [09:32] Sound on my Gutsy is broken [09:32] does it help if i make the swap partition bigger? Does ubuntu care? === macsim_ is now known as macism [09:32] p34ce, then there's something wrong with your sources.list [09:32] anyway of restoring sound? [09:32] eyeRmonkey: if you haven't eyeRmonkey: and generally you can do sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/* will clear EVERYTHING you installed from source, which may be what you want right now [09:32] how can i install 7.10 that ive allredy downloaded === macism is now known as macsim [09:33] p34ce: did you download an iso? [09:33] Madpilot: are you sure it's not just cause the repositories for 5.10 just don't exist anymore? [09:33] p34ce, you need to burn the ISO to a CD, then just run the CD [09:33] Ademan: Like i said, the one thing I started to install from source (and only got half way through the many different parts that needed compiling), I gave up and did "sudo make uninstall". Then I tried removing things from synaptic (that i installed using synaptic) and resintalling everyting from scratch from synaptic. [09:33] hammer to PC [09:33] Ademan, likely, yes, now that I think about it. [09:33] hELLO? [09:33] hello [09:34] eyeRmonkey: well then i'd run the command i gave you, it should totally clear out avant window navigator, and leave you with a clean slate for things installed from source [09:34] CAn someone tell me whether i can restore my broken sound on gutsy? [09:34] anyone know if a larger swap partition helps? [09:34] nicholaspaul: depends [09:34] livingdaylight: you prob. can. Depends on what may be broken [09:34] swap is just double the size of ur ram [09:34] nicholaspaul: how much swap do you have right now? [09:34] unless u got enough ram [09:34] then u dont need much [09:34] Ademan: well i don't actually want to install AWN from source. they have a gutsy repo. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981 .... I did it from the repo originally, then messed it up. and now i can't get it back [09:34] Ademan: i'm installing so i can have up to 5Gb [09:34] nicholaspaul, how do i diagnose what is broken? [09:35] nicholaspaul: unless you're running a server you DEFINITELY don't need that much [09:35] Ademan: I did the command you gave. I'll go try installing it from the repo again [09:35] nicholaspaul: how much actual ram do you need? [09:35] eyeRmonkey: good luck [09:35] Ademan: ;) i'll need it. :D [09:35] CIAO [09:35] Ademan: lol well, i have 512 in a PowerBook G3, so i'm good. [09:35] nicholaspaul: i actually meant how much do you have lol [09:35] Ademan: the splash is great on 32bit gutsy version but i think it s a 64 bits verion probleme, think you so ? [09:36] nicholaspaul: ah, yeah 2gb of swap space would be plenty for you really, what are you doing with it that you need so much more swap? [09:36] livingdaylight: try different apps. It could be settings in the mixer, try right clicking the speaker icon and playing with preferences [09:36] ive just dragged the folder to the cd shud it work now to install 7.10? [09:36] Raph: you're probably right, but i'm 100% inexperienced with 64 bit [09:36] !list please [09:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about list please - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:36] Ademan: nothing much - email, surfing. I was just cursiou! :) [09:36] or even curious [09:36] nicholaspaul, no apps have sound and no it s nothing with volume mixer [09:37] go to sound [09:37] nicholaspaul: yeah 5gb is way overkill, i always go for overkill though, which for you would probably be around 2gb [09:37] which apps? [09:37] Ademan: :(, thanks, cu ! [09:37] and make it autodetect [09:37] well ima giv it a go with anny luck ill b on ubuntu 7.10 in a bit [09:37] Ademan: yea i wouldnt go for 5Gb lol [09:37] Ademan: Sadly, i'm still getting that error when I run "avant-window-manager" ... this is silly. it thinks it's a command (it auto completes it for me) but then it goes to run ti can can't find it .... why is it even looking there for it as a command. it should be looking in a different /bin directory for it. shouldn't it? [09:37] Ademan thanks for the tips [09:38] livingdaylight: sorry, i'm not sure what might be wrong. [09:38] eyeRmonkey: i don't know why it thinks it exists [09:38] eyeRmonkey: unless there's a link somewhere, for instance in /usr/bin [09:38] Anyone else? [09:39] p34ce: you should have a file named .iso you need to burn that .iso file as a image in the burning software. that will burn you a bootable disc [09:39] anyone can help me about compiz fusion on 7.10 ?! it's not working [09:39] eyeRmonkey: you might try this find / -iname 'avant-window-manager' and see if it shows you any locations [09:39] livingdaylight: anytime. [09:39] x_: #ubuntu-effects [09:39] does anybody know if the HIS HD2600XT IceQ Turbo works with ubuntu?

Its totally broken here [09:39] Ademan: good idea :) [09:40] !sound | livingdaylight (This may help) [09:40] livingdaylight (This may help): 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).

[09:41] KoweSix: http://lgp203.free.fr/spip/spip.php?article1 should have debs for code::blocks http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,7147.0.html contains the rest of the debs, hopefully you can find one for your release if you need it [09:41] and the two pcs icon is not an actual wifi network [09:42] dayam... gonna have to reinstall Ubuntu all over again [09:42] and ..if there is no icon before the signal strength..should i assume that is a network with no security? [09:42] esjay: yes [09:42] or at least, that's my understanding [09:42] nah that didnt wrk [09:42] (and my experience) [09:42] hey guys, im trying to add a repository, however after adding it, "sudo apt-get update" fails with a multiple line error (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1234/) how can i fix this? [09:43] I just upgraded to Gutsy, and now no partitions other than the root will mount [09:43] k..newbie question number 2...I just added some software thru the synaptic package manager...all packages were added successfully, but i can't find them anywhere...is there a specific location they go to once installed [09:43] I get "/dev/hda2 already mounted or /home busy" [09:43] jscinoz: sorta looks liek the problem has nothing to do with the new repository, but i could be wrong, looks more like a corrupted deb you already have installed [09:43] neither of which is the case [09:44] esjay: depends on the program. Most are in the menus [09:44] jscinoz: but unfortunately it's late and i need to get sleep [09:44] i just installed a 2 week old copy of gutsy release canidate and updated with over a hundred updates, im just wanting to make sure i have the final release now [09:44] gnight everyone [09:44] night [09:44] i have just used sudo apt-get install apache2, can some one direct me to the directorys that i will find the config files in and anything i need to edit? thank you [09:44] esjay: you can always try which prognam at a terminal to find out more as well [09:44] Ademan, no its definately to do with the repo, if i comment out its lines in /etc/apt/sources.list the error doesnt occur [09:44] ok it says wen i open cd that im in cd/dvd creator - file browser [09:44] Cyber_Stalker: /etc/apache2 and also /var/www are where you want to play [09:44] but wen i click write to disc [09:44] jscinoz: yeah then you're right, but yeah sorry i gotta get some shut eye [09:44] thank you dxdt [09:44] dxdt: say i just installed aircrack for example...how would i go about finding that in a terminal [09:45] thanks anyway [09:45] afk for dinner, maybe someone will know by the time i get back [09:45] Question about evolution: How do I sync it with my Google calendar? [09:45] esjay: which aircrack would be my first try [09:45] k testing [09:45] anyone? [09:45] actually just running the command "aircrack" would probably be my first try [09:45] no files selected You need to copy the files you want to write to disc to the CD/DVD Creator window. [09:45] dxdt: can i use chown on the folders so that i can edit them easily from my account instead of it giving me issues with it being under root? [09:45] dxdt: command not found [09:46] is there some default directory where apps go when installed? or is it app dependent [09:46] Ademan, how do I install envy ? [09:46] then ive got to chosse open cd/dvd creator or close but it just opens another window [09:46] p34ce: what did not work? if you just drag/dropped that folder and had it burn, that will not work. the file you want to burn should be .iso file [09:47] Question: After about 20 minutes of using Gutsy, my fans start running at 100% and don't stop. any way to fix this? [09:47] ohh i c [09:47] esjay: might want to just start typing air and the press tab and see if tab completion does anything [09:47] hylinux: did it work? [09:47] or suggests anything [09:47] so just the 3 programs in the file? [09:47] k..thanks [09:47] what is application name that use icon blue piranha? i ever see this icon on my friend linux tray [09:48] dxdt..that did it..thanks [09:48] kool [09:48] cya ill try now! [09:48] guys doesnt any1 know how to install envy ? === esjay is now known as esjay-afk [09:48] skiffx: sudo apt-get install envy [09:48] WHy don't you just install nvidia-glx-new? [09:49] nicholaspaul, nope doesnt find envy [09:49] !envy | skiffx, Envy isn't supported within the #ubuntu channel because it can cause problems [09:49] skiffx, Envy isn't supported within the #ubuntu channel because it can cause problems: 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! [09:49] yeah envy is kinda outdated nowadays. It is so easy to do drivers and such anyway [09:49] whats the password for su [09:49] thr1lljockey: seems to have worked, thanks! [09:49] Jacquesmerde: didn't work. :( [09:49] There isn't one. Use 'sudo' instead. [09:49] dgjones, yeah I know, unfortunately, I have no choice but to try it [09:49] adante: cool! [09:49] dxdt: can i use chown on the folders so that i can edit them easily from my account instead of it giving me issues with it being under root? [09:50] dgjones, can you suggest on how to install it? [09:50] i want to be able to save my xorg settings but i have to do it as root [09:50] hylinux: i finally got the splash screen working [09:50] Can anyone tell me how to enable mp3s [09:50] !restricted [09:50] 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 [09:50] rather, I want to burn mp3's into an audio cd but obviously [09:50] skiffx: http://lunapark6.com/envy-easy-way-to-install-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu.html [09:50] Install those, insert a blank cd, choose "Audio cd" and drag mp3s to the disk. [09:51] nicholaspaul, thnx [09:51] I got k3b [09:51] skiffx, i can't, i only used it once & ended up doing a full reinstall to avoid the problems it caused with updates [09:51] thr1lljockey: after rebootingi guess i will have to reinstall my nvidia drivers - is it safe for me to just reboot and configure now or do i need to do stuff beforehand? [09:51] nicholaspaul was that for me [09:51] Cyber_Stalker: generally that isn't done. Usually what is done instead is to give them to a group like www-data and then add yourself to that group. I'm totally clear on this stuff cause I usually just use sudo a lot, but I think that will work. Check top in a terminal to see what user apache is running as and then chown them to that [09:51] i make mp3 CDs with just 'Data' options. They play in my truck perfectly [09:51] would be my best guess. [09:51] preston.. erm, if you need it sure :) [09:51] jacquesmerde: really? how to do that? [09:51] thanks [09:51] adante: once you install the .deb packages, you can reboot no problem [09:52] =D [09:52] nicholaspaul: Provided yer player supports that, most audio cd players don't. [09:52] jacquesmerde: hi, guys, could you help me about that ? [09:52] cafuego: true. MP3 player Cds will . I love it :) [09:52] yeah I guess I could just burn it as a data cd [09:52] my car plays mp3's too [09:52] er data [09:52] thr1lljockey: alrighty, thanks again, reboot & pray now.. [09:52] dorian_: there ya go :) [09:52] hylinux: i edited usplash.conf, added a framebuffer in menu.lst then ran update-initram.fs [09:52] thanks dxdt [09:52] adante: good luck [09:52] yeah no prob [09:52] thanks d00ds.

[09:58] where do I have to copy certificates for openvpn? [09:58] eyeRmonkey: Find out what is making your cpu run at 100% and fix it. [09:58] Well, duh .. or not. [09:59] kekZpriester, /etc/openvpn or wherever your configfile says they should be [10:00] cafuego, the fans made his machine take off ;) [10:00] Question: How do I remap keys? For example, how do i map a key for the "system monitor" to open? [10:00] eyeRmonkey: System >> Pref >> keyboard to start and then other things if that won't work for you [10:01] anyone know if ubuntu 7.04 or 7.10 will work with AMD ATHLON X2 BE-2350 and of the sheapest asus motherboard? Like ASUS M2V-MX [10:01] along with a couple of sata disks [10:01] johan-_, there's no reason either of them would not work... [10:01] whats the command to rename a file? [10:01] Bonster, mv [10:02] isnt that move? [10:02] dxdt: that doesn't seem to have anything for mapping keys [10:02] renaming is moving :) [10:02] mv old_name new_name [10:02] oh [10:02] Seveas: the AMD ATHLON X2 BE-2350 is a dualcore 64-bit, will it be able to use both cores and so on... ? [10:02] johan-_, yup [10:03] all ubuntu kernels are SMP [10:03] Seveas: great :) Thanks, don't want to buy stuff that won't work [10:03] johan-_: yes, I run X2 with both cores [10:03] johan-_, you can always bring an ubuntu live cd to the store for a test ;) [10:03] if someone has some better ideas on hardware to by :) [10:03] hello. I just installed Ubuntu 7.10, and Compiz is looking great. My only issue is that when I run WoW, it works fine until I switch desktops. Then WoW disappears and I can't get back to it. Any ideas on what's going on? [10:04] hi i got a problem with gutsy that ive just upgraded === Khereth is now known as runev [10:04] Seveas: well, will by it on the net and not assembled [10:04] johan-_, that would indeed make a est rather difficult :) [10:04] :) [10:04] indead [10:04] ive isntalled everything alright but when i rebooted i couldnt log on had to startx on the console to be able to ask for help [10:05] hello [10:05] i am using openoffice 2.3 with ubuntu 7.10, but it cannot convert the odt file to PDF format, it closed and start recovery process [10:05] any idea about this please [10:05] johan-_: you might try sticking with 32 bit until you actually need 64 bit [10:06] save as PDF [10:06] click on Print [10:06] then print to PDF [10:06] the same, i tried but it failed [10:06] ozzloy: well it's not more expensive, or do you have any cpu in mind? [10:06] johan-_: I use 64 bit with no problems. At all. Everything is really pretty easy. [10:06] let me check [10:06] dxdt: :) [10:07] johan-_: it's the software. generally 3rd party proprietary things assume you're on 32 bit [10:07] dxdt: that doesn't seem to have anything for mapping keys [10:07] out of luck or try update [10:07] I use 64 bit ubuntu with teh Athlon X2 and I haven't been limited on software yet [10:07] I think I way return to Feisty Fawn until Gutsy can get a bit more reliable [10:07] I admit it's an overkill, the box will take over for my amd k7 but hey :) [10:07] anyone got an idea why i cant log on to gutsy? it keeps sending me back to the log on screen [10:07] johan-_: and if you aren't, you have to wait for them to get around to releasing the 64 bit version of whatever [10:07] hammer to pc [10:07] So, I think I've got a sound driver issue, but I'm not sure. Any Gutsy people out there this morning? [10:08] !ask | gonzo_ [10:08] gonzo_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [10:08] gonzo_, i'm in gusty [10:08] ozzloy: but stuff will work on 64 even if it's written for 32? [10:08] also when i choose print it gives me "openoffice document recovery" [10:08] my networking goes all nuts when I try to switch between wireless and wired [10:08] I've got about 15 different media programs, and none of them will play music or video. [10:08] They all stop responding when I load 'em up. [10:09] Open office is not that good [10:09] The only one I've gotten to work is Exaile Music Player. [10:09] it uses java [10:09] And ... right now, its crashing. -_- [10:09] try Abiword [10:09] Bonster, so what is the better solution [10:09] guys if I get dpkg: error processing envy (--install): dependecy problems - leaving unconfigured how can I check which dependancies so I can install envy ? [10:09] Abiword? [10:09] Bonster, let me check [10:09] what are xubuntus system requirements? [10:09] johan-_: a 64 bit processor can run programs compiled for 32 bit, yes. but i'm not sure how easily that works [10:09] thanks for the replays. Have to run now, but will probably come back with more questions :) [10:09] or one of those other word software [10:10] are the Ubuntu developers working on fixing up Gutsy... or are they already working fully on Hardy Heron? [10:10] johan-_: good luck! [10:10] How can I determine what keeps all my media programs from running? A couple times I've gotten a "can't initialize sound driver" error. [10:10] But otherwise, they just go gray. [10:10] Hi guys - when X starts, it never shows the username/pword boxes, it seems to hang just before. Any ideas? [10:10] hey i put ubuntu 7,10 on disc and chaneg to to boot from cd is there some were on linux that i have to change? [10:10] ozzloy: and will only run the most basic stuff on it, basicly a fileserver/musicserver [10:11] I have an asus laptop that refuses to boot from the 7.10 CD, it hangs after trying to figure out the ACPI and noacpi doesn't do anything, what should I try? [10:11] The cursor shows the loading... icon, and it keeps jumping around [10:11] johan-_: i'm no expert on 64 bit. but it doesn't seem to be worth it. especially if you don't specifically need 32 bit [10:11] errr... 64 [10:11] 64bit software support is good? [10:11] is it possible to undo "rm $file"? [10:12] Do most of you just use the default network connection icon in the upper right hand corner when trying to connect to wireless networks or is there a better one? [10:12] Can someone help me get video streams working? [10:12] johan-_: same price? really? hmm... if i were buying, i'd be tempted to test it out i guess [10:12] which type? [10:12] mms? [10:12] I run 64-bit gutsy at work, and i have no complaints [10:12] how can i start windows with lilo starter? [10:12] Especially since the flash plugin for firefox was released in gutsy [10:12] esjay-afk: i use the icon [10:12] esjay-afk: what problem you having? [10:12] I'm trying to boot from 7.10 and it just wont :( [10:12] I can't get any media players to work. [10:12] No one can? [10:12] Grr.. [10:13] VLC player? [10:13] no problem really...just wondered if there was a better tool...this doesn't tell me any detailed info on the actual networks [10:13] 7.10 is buged now install 7.04 and update [10:13] Tried it [10:13] Nadda. Nothing works. [10:13] or..maybe it does and i don't know how to view it [10:13] thank you y0c0 [10:13] Trying to watch off the net [10:13] u get audio tho? [10:13] Sometimes. [10:13] I've gotten Exaile to work. [10:13] log out and log in [10:13] usually does the trick [10:13] Anyway, it would help if someone could point me to the scripts that run just as X starts - clearly something in there is hanging [10:13] Yeah, but this keeps coming back. [10:14] Is it the stuff in /etc/rc5.d/ ? [10:14] especially on the wifi connections that have the two pc icon in front of them...i can't seem to connect to any of those whereas I can if i'm in windows [10:14] Grr...I need video streams [10:14] And the strangest thing ... Sometimes, I can play one audio file, and when the player goes to the next on my list, it dies. [10:14] try unpluging ur USb stuff if it hangs [10:14] esjay-afk: those are other people's computers set to master mode [10:14] i know the card is working well though because i can connect to my wpa security enabled wifi with 0 issues [10:14] k that's what i thought ozzloy.. [10:14] Don't have any USB devices plugged in. [10:14] and when it's blank before the signal strength those are unsecured? [10:14] esjay-afk: usually you don't want to connect to the internet through them [10:15] Bonster: not sure if that answer was for me, but I don't have an usb stuff [10:15] esjay-afk: yes, blank means no wpa [10:15] It used to boot ok for me [10:15] morning [10:15] My notebook lid switch isn't working, doesn't seem like a big deal, unless you are a little OCD... [10:15] thank Bonster , it worked fine [10:16] ozzloy: thanks...now i just need to find an open one to fool around on :) [10:16] Does anyone have any clue how to fix that lid-switch thing? [10:16] hi there... how can i enable ubuntu to install the 8.40.4 display driver instead of the 8.37.6 one? [10:16] suweid: what is up with the switch? [10:16] The lid switch doesn't do anything. It's set to dim the screen, but doesn't. [10:16] esjay-afk: if you want more detailed info, look into iwlist [10:17] esjay-afk: you can at the command line type iwconfig [10:17] Tesium: download the binary instaler and ask him to generated debs. === axel is now known as poetry [10:17] esjay-afk: that will give you the name of your wireless card [10:17] esjay-afk: likely eth1 or eth0 or something similar [10:18] esjay-afk: then type: iwlist eth1 scan [10:18] and it will print out a list of access points visible to eth1 (if that's your wireless card) [10:18] Hi everybody. I have just installed gutsy gibbon on my HP laptop. But the sound doesn't work. Any soundhaxor who wants to help me? [10:18] !sound > pettah [10:19] Ok, so I've simplified my question: what scripts run when X starts? [10:19] clearly my problem is there somewhere [10:19] ozzloy: thanks again [10:20] esjay-afk: np! glad to help [10:20] esjay-afk: the nm-applet in the upper right corner is the best one [10:20] esjay-afk: provided that you have a working card etc === Co_Botak_FS is now known as ni_sha [10:21] does anyone here remember the forum post about how to setup ubuntu to use xscreensaver as the screensaver manager instead of the default one, or know if it works on 7.10 ? [10:22] So, nobody knows what scripts run when X starts? [10:22] i have ubuntu on virtualbox, and tried to set my screen resolution to higher than 1024x768, and now the screen is unreadable. Can someone guide me to get it back to 1024x768? [10:23] anyone has problem with google bar on firefox? it can't download bookmarks. [10:23] dmjones500: Define "when X starts". [10:23] Do you mean with startx, do you mean the GDM session or do you mean the actual user session? [10:24] Please, could someone help me figure out why no media playing program will run on my computer? [10:24] gonzo_: go ahead, ask [10:24] dmjones500: check ur system monitor [10:24] I have no way of troubleshooting ... I've just got a whole mass of audio and video players, but none of them will work. [10:25] I've gotten error messages stating an inability to initialize the sound drivers.

[11:05] KiKiZoZo: i guess i choose wrong java package [11:05] Greencookie, no, once upgraded, the only way of going back would be a fresh install [11:05] Checking out the analysis right now [11:05] any idea why the volume in gutsy is so low i can barely hear it on gutsy? ive turned up the volume to full strength [11:05] ?

[11:22] hello, i am new to Ubuntu (just today installed the Ubuntu) does Ubuntu need security software like on windows xp ?

[11:23] Oh my! I have to have a question that spans more than 2-3 lines just for it to be seen :( [11:24] I'm receiving Buffer I/O errors for HDC logical blocks 0-3. Is this because my CD was either burned with a bad image or my cdrom is having reading problems?

[11:25] hello [11:25] where's that sanskrit ? [11:25] ganeshhegde: ATI drivers are a pain to install. I had to use Envy, but a lot of people don't recogmend it. Try looking around the forums. [11:25] i'm on gutsy since tribe5 and everything was fin until now - all of a sudden - i can't connect to any port. i can ping though. it's no hardware problem, because i'm here in a vmware windows image and it works.

[12:52] comicinker: #opensync [12:52] kst: I've learnt not to say things are impossible, but I suspect it can't be done - I don't see how you can have two X servers (one Xserver = 1 xorg.conf) both thinking they are controlling the same single display. You would have to, somehow, suspend one server completely and hand over the hardware to the other. But that's just my thought - I'm sure if it CAN be done it HAS been done, so maybe someone else has a better answer ;-) [12:52] powerserve: if installing from Live CD session, just use guided install option and it will have option for it to use whole disc....can't get much easier than that === Mez|Away is now known as Mez === Mez is now known as Mez|Away [12:53] howlingmadhowie: ok, can you help me explore this...?

[12:54] Metal03: i really don't know anything about wine. but i could read your /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you like (that's the configuration file where the settings for X are stored) [12:54] kaue1 that was not a trick with xorg.conf tho, i just used the /disable file to disable xgl after starting the Xgl session, then launch the 2nd session [12:54] Hi, help with 7.10 "upgrade"... the package manager keeps retrying file 81, then restarts... it's chewing up bandwidth and going nowhere...

I just copy the desired xorg.conf over xorg.conf and restart gdm. Leaving fglrx does sometimes hang; I believe there's a fix for it, but I change rarely enough that it doesn't really matter. [12:55] ok do i have to rerun it again this time and it would automatically delete all the files in my hard drive? [12:56] what's the package to install xfce desktop?

[13:07] but i'll be able to turn my gas back on :-) [13:07] it really sucks [13:07] who can help me ? [13:07] I have a problem with graphical resolution in Gutsy, can anyone check my xorg.conf to see if there's something wrong? http://pastebin.com/m1e97da10 my logging screen is in 640x480 or 800x600... something crappy!! but then when I log in my session it's back to what I set 1856x1392 [13:07] (08:03:50) magic_ninja: soul9: what seems to be the problem [13:07] soul9, i dlete that stuff,wicdpwnz [13:07] Metal03, ?? [13:08] soul9: just remove that network interface if that particular nic isn't working [13:08] hello, how to make a call with kphone in command line? [13:08] soul9: misstype [13:08] Metal03: the xorg.conf is complicated, but i can't see anything wrong with it. [13:08] What package do I need to install for gstreamer to play .m4a files (MPEG4 container, AAC payload)? [13:08] !m4a [13:08] 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 [13:08] howlingmadhowie: :( [13:09] MetaBot, no, the nic works, there is just a bug after resume, that the driver (module) isn't always unloaded+reloaded [13:09] Metal03, ^ [13:09] soul9: ? [13:09] the issue is that networkmanager is flakey to say the least [13:09] 8-) [13:10] I have no idea how it could get into gutsy in this state [13:10] Metal03, well, do you use s2ram at all? [13:10] soul9: s2ram? [13:10] you might now that drivers that suck (most of them) need their module to be unloaded so they work when you resume [13:10] yeah, suspend [13:10] suspend to ram === js__ is now known as js_ [13:10] sleep [13:11] whatever you want to call it [13:11] soul9: so basically you wan't the network loaded, but its not loading right? [13:11] magic_ninja: the gstreamer-faad package is no longer available, and I have gstreamer0.10-bad, gstreamer0.10-bad-multiverse, gstreamer0.10-ugly, and gstreamer0.10-ugly-multiverse installed [13:11] no [13:12] Odo: allora uso una sche 3com usb per collegarmi ed è quella che ho usato adesso.L'ho installata con ndiwrapper e va benissimo.L'unico problema è che se riavvio e la penna è inserita non riesce a caeicarmi i moduli === princess^ is now known as princess^^ [13:12] engrish [13:12] soul9: not much... but I feel like this issue also creates problem with wine... when I quit a game it comes back to that crappy 640x480 res (or 800x600... anyways.. crappy!) [13:12] so basically I'd like my network to work, i'd like to be able to reconnect to the network, and I'd like it, if when I remove my network cards module from the kernel and reload it, to not have to reboot the machine because networkmanager can't detect the interface [13:12] stupidgirl, please don't [13:12] comicinker, hi...

[13:39] soul9: yeah, this is going to be ugly by any measyre [13:39] Downix, I'm not sure you'll have the fs on the same servers, but if you do, solaris might work better because of zfs [13:39] Downix: Linux using Diskless servers [13:40] yeah, or that [13:40] and something fast serving the fs [13:40] yeah, like a SAN [13:40] stupidgirl, nope its just a wired network === GutsyGibbon is now known as GutsyGibbon-Dean [13:40] big momma SAN [13:40] dhcp?

[13:41] Poul|Raider, i too had problems like you have. in the end i ditched network manager and installed wicd, problem solved [13:41] soul9: My thinking was Solaris with Linux running as VM's. [13:42] ok stupidgirl. [13:42] GutsyGibbon-Dean: a Quake3 Open Source Clone... or something like that... 3D FPS [13:42] Nothing graphical works after upgrading to Gutsy, and the nvidia driver is "not being used" what can I do? [13:42] Downix, yeh, having linux can have advantages [13:42] yeah* [13:42] UberSoldat: Oh.. i'll pass. lol. [13:42] but zfs is pretty awesome too [13:43] I would only use solaris on Sun Hardware [13:43] soul9: Right, plus right now we're on Linux. If I used Solaris as a VM host, I could migrate the sites right over w/o any hiccups. [13:43] as I have done before [13:43] julioh, cut it out... [13:43] On a total otehr subject, why are so many people offened by the term "something is fucked up" it mean absolute nothing where i am coming from. And what to use instead ? [13:43] Ubersoldat, Agreed there. But the SPARC T2 is an incredible CPU, so well worth it. [13:43] ubersoldat, dunno, GNU/Solaris probably isn't that bad [13:43] Poul|Raider: try "something is fubared" :) [13:43] hmm [13:44] emokids.

[13:44] scorp123, #ubuntu-offtopic might be a better channel for this :) [13:44] nanonyme: yeah, but the thing is, do you get the same support you get by using Solaris? [13:44] doesn't gnusolaris already have apt? [13:44] soul9: yes you can have "apt" already, but these are inofficial + unsupported repos at the moment.

[13:47] galorin: I've never understood why not, when I've seen it done in the past. [13:47] soul9, if you mean by it taking 100% cpu, yes [13:47] like not being able to reconnect to a wireless network [13:47] nanonyme, I think a VERY buggy networkmanager got into gutsy :-( [13:47] i'm using intel gma950 graphics card, the os launch the restart signal but nothing works :S [13:48] Can anyone help me with Java on firefox on my Gutsy system?

[13:49] i know, i should send a bug report. i just haven't gotten to that yet [13:49] well, sometmes I try to restart it, but that doesn't work either (I need nm because my wifi network has wpa2) [13:49] galorin: then again, I still find odd crashes with 3D in any system [13:49] nanonyme: only after suspend [13:49] soul9, does it work with encryption off? [13:49] Somebody mentioned "wicd" (or a similar name?) a few moments ago ... that's a Networkmanager replacement, right? [13:49] Hey, I just tried the Kubuntu cd, but after the loading phase (blue bar left-right) it says "ATA 1.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5) [13:50] howlingmadhowie: I LOVE YOU!!! The URL you provided resolved the issue!! === _a|K|a is now known as a|K|a [13:50] nanonyme, what work? networkmanager works, but it's very flakey [13:50] Downix, my info may be out of date with CPU level virtualisation now, but I didn't think a virtualised environment could talk to the 3d card to do the 3d stuff [13:50] like reconnecting to the network freeses it up [13:50] soul9, ah, ok [13:51] and it doesn't like suspend-resume at all [13:51] grrr I don't like upgrading from one ubuntu to the next, esp. since my /boot partition is too small. [13:52] ok, that does it, ignoring joins,parts,quits here too [13:52] soul9: what kind of laptop do you have? Sometimes the right boot parameters will help a lot .... [13:52] is there anyway to undo what you have done in synaptic, I uninstalled something and now nautilus won't run at all, could somebody please help [13:52] scorp123, it's a dell 640m [13:52] it's the same as one of the USA dells that are sold with ubuntu [13:52] tomlarkin: reinstall whatever you uninstalled [13:53] uswsusp does not works for me [13:53] Ubersoldat, i don't remember which ones exactly i uninstaled [13:53] get the dependencies, the things you uninstalled should be there [13:53] wicd looks good [13:53] yeah... that should help [13:53] soul9: that "wicd" ... is that the name of the package? [13:54] I have a problem with ssh login of a user. [13:54] scorp123: iirc, its not in the Ubuntu repos. [13:54] when trying to login, I have "Permission denied" [13:54] scorp123, well, yeah, but it's not in ubuntu :-( [13:54] charset iso-8859-2 [13:54] login via ssh [13:54] hi is there an easy way to change the default browser to thunar? [13:54] Pici: ah, OK ... that's why I can't find it here :) [13:54] and it's only available for feisty [13:54] and if as root I run: su - thatuser [13:54] I get: [13:54] sobersabre: try to keep what you say on a single line, or else the channel becomes too busy [13:55] su: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info. [13:55] (Ignored) [13:55] Hey guys, I've recently done an apt-get dist-upgrade from feisty to gutsy on a web server yesterday, and the machine sort of froze for the first time ever today, not quite sure what happened, any ideas where to look for the problem? The machine still repsonded to pings, but apache didn't respond, SSH accepted passwords (according to the debug from ssh) and started the session, but I couldn't type anything (or ctrl-c out), a reboot se [13:55] !thunar | adante (I dont know if this has been tested in Gutsy) [13:55] adante (I dont know if this has been tested in Gutsy): thunar is a File Manager for XFCE. It is a lightweight alternative Nautilus and is quite similar. More info at: http://thunar.xfce.org/index.html - Want to Replace Nautilus with Thunar? see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease [13:55] jrib: I am sorry, i have no other choice :) [13:55] anyway, I am almost sure it is related to Use PAM option on sshd. [13:55] JediMaster, whta kind of CPU ? [13:55] Q. is how do I make use pam, and allow that user. [13:56] hi [13:56] how can I back up my panel config and layout? [13:56] can somebody please help me nautilus won't start [13:56] bye === stdin_ is now known as stdin [13:57] stefg: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz, shows up as 8 cores, so I believe it's 2x hyperthreaded dual core [13:57] tomlarkin: what happens when you try to start it in a terminal? [13:57] Does anyone know of any issue when burning a kubuntu cd with Nero? [13:57] hmmm [13:57] F_M: no, that should be ok. [13:57] Can anyone help me with Java on firefox on my Gutsy system? [13:58] what package do I need for JRE1.5? [13:58] !java > panosru (read the private message from ubotu) [13:58] Pici: cheers! [13:58] !java > AngryElf (read the private message from ubotu) [13:58] stefg: any ideas? [13:58] oh you can tell "ubotu" to send private messages via '>' .... neat :-) [13:58] JediMaster, hmmm. But be related to the DynTicks feature. The 2.6.22-14 has known issues under heavy network i/o, and with certain older CPU's (which don't like Dynticks). The feisty kernel should still be there, i'd boot that and see if that changes something [13:59] does anyone know how you check version of installed packages? [13:59] I can't write the Gutsy iso to a disk. On feisty, I get an error telling me to "insert a rewritable or blank disc". The disc inserted is of course a new blank CDR. On the desktop (for some reason) feisty is reporting it as "Blank CD-RW Disk" [13:59] scorp123, or | [13:59] LazyAngel: dpkg -p nameofpackage [13:59] jrib, oh i have to use java5 to work? java6 not work? [13:59] LazyAngel: apt-cache policy PACKAGE [13:59] scorp123, jrib thanks [13:59] panosru: that should work as well [13:59] It's really getting on my nerves [13:59] guy's whate the grep command for looking for text in a file ...also through dir [13:59] stefg: thanks, I've rebooted already, and had done after the dist-upgrade yesterday [13:59] porkpie: grep text filename [13:59] I really don't get it. Back in the day I tried suse and it didn't detect my HDD, so i got debian. Now, when I try installing debian it can't read the cd. Same with Kubuntu, and I tried multiple downloads and burning software. [14:00] stefg: running 2.6.22-14-generic at the moment [14:00] ben__, how are you trying to burn the iso? [14:00] JediMaster, make sure tho slect the 2.6.20-16 (Feisty kernel) [14:00] how can I back up my panel config and layout? [14:00] Pici:I need to look through dir's as well [14:00] porkpie: grep -R text /path/to/directory [14:00] OK [14:00] WorkingOnWise: you mean e.g. so you get the same desktop settings on two PCs? [14:00] WorkingOnWise: pretty sure that is in gconf somewhere... [14:00] WorkingOnWise: I beleive the config is in ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/ [14:00] stefg: what's the easiest way to reboot into it remotely? change the menu.lst default? [14:01] profanephobia: Put disk in, right click on iso image, choose "write to disc..." and click OK in the resulting dialogue [14:01] WorkingOnWise: Or in gconf. [14:01] WorkingOnWise: or both [14:01] F_M: burn at slowest speed, less chance to get corrpt burn that way [14:01] ben__, do you have multiple drives? [14:01] no [14:02] jrib, nothing at all [14:02] WorkingOnWise: I think you just need to backup all the .gnome* and .gconf* folders ... and "Desktop" for your icons. [14:02] tomlarkin: does it give you a new bash prompt or hang there? [14:02] scorp123: so if something I install decides to reste my panels again, I can get it back to my liking in a few minutes instead of an hour. [14:02] I'll give that a shot [14:02] jrib it just hangs, brb, i am going to try and restart [14:03] ben__, paste the line for your drive from /etc/fstab [14:03] WorkingOnWise: amongst other things, yes. Or you can copy your settings to a second machine, e.g. from desktop to laptop or vice versa. I just did that yesterday :-) [14:03] WorkingOnWise: let me check which folders you need ... [14:03] F_M: also double check the MD5 hash before you burn, that way you don't waste disc on a bad download [14:04] are there any other "volume contorls" in ubuntu? ive turned everything to max but sitll i can hardly get any sound, anyone have any ideas whatsoever? [14:04] grr having to switch between nv and nvidia to get xv to work [14:04] vladim: try 'alsamixer' [14:04] jrib, nothing happens when i try to start nautilus [14:05] WorkingOnWise: .config .gconf* .gnome* ..... that's it. .gnome* will also take folders ".gnome" and ".gnome2" and so on. [14:05] tomlarkin: have you restarted then? [14:05] jrib ive tried alsamixer, turned everything up and down [14:05] jrib, yes [14:05] WorkingOnWise: oh and ".themes" for any themes that you may have installed. [14:05] tomlarkin: ps -ef | grep nautilus [14:05] i get sound, but it is VERY low, infact i have to turn off everything around me to even hear it slightly. [14:05] even though I upgraded last week, Adept manager everyday says new version available click here to upgrade. Goes thru all the gyrations then says your system is already up to date. Can I make it stop telling me an upgrade is available? [14:06] vladim: you have checked the volume on the actual speakers? checked the connections as well? [14:06] jrib, what's the site to paste that into? [14:06] tomlarkin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [14:06] scorp123: thanks. So now I can write a bash cript to back those up on shutdown and then if I have any problems, I can restore them from that. Kinda "last known good" for the gui.... [14:06] what is ubotu?

[14:07] profanephobia: no [14:07] vladim: don't know then [14:07] WorkingOnWise: if you really want to be on the safe side I'd recommend a complete backup of your /home folder ... so e.g. your browser and e-mails get backed up too . [14:07] !lirc [14:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about lirc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:07] ben_ ok laters [14:07] jrib, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41816/ [14:07] !sound [14:07] 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).

I'm using gutsy, and just set up my nfs network, but I can't access my apache folder remotely even after sharing it [14:09] Crystal_W: does nfsd have accesss to that folder?

However I have a bug with the desktop, it wont let me use the deskpane or 3D desktop, when it worked perfectly on a manual install from 7.04.... any help here please?

I am learning linux, and for me, the best way to learn is via breakage. Sometimes I need to forgo the lesson and get things back up quickly. I have broke my panel layout 2 times since the 18th....oops :) [14:10] jrib, all the nautilus processes, yes [14:10] tomlarkin: check with ps again [14:11] profanephobia: that's the only line in fstab that mentions CDROMs, although looking in /media myself tells me there are two relevant folders: cdrom and cdrom0 (to which I presume fstab refers) [14:11] jrib, eh? [14:11] i have all groups available to access it it looks like [14:11] jrib, still not work :( [14:11] tomlarkin: ps -ef | grep nautilus [14:11] even though I upgraded last week, Adept manager everyday says new version available click here to upgrade.

(it says i need linux-restricted-modules-2.6.23.1 but tat package doesn't exist) [14:13] Oh wow there's a kubuntu as well? [14:13] i know its probably a local permissions problem because i can access the windows box's shared folders from the linux box [14:13] Adam, no [14:13] didn't know that. Thanks [14:13] panosru: ah.... well sun does not provide a 64bit plugin. This is why for desktop systemo you should use 32bit [14:13] Adante, no [14:13] i just installed the nvidia drivers with the restricted drivers window, is that the "wrong" way to do it?

[14:15] jrib, thanks bro, it's workin now [14:15] panosru: because you prefer to do things the hard way? [14:15] Is there a way to mount *.bin files (cd-images) in ubuntu without having the *.cue file? [14:16] jrib, well 64bit system is 30% faster than 32bit system [14:16] stefg: righto, tanks [14:16] Eruantalon: you can convert them ... there is a "bin2iso" program I think (not sure).

[15:05] How do I get it away? I've upgraded 5 times now [15:05] adante, no... you want to build nvidia-glx ( *not* -legacy). so clean up everything that's nvidia-glx-new or -legacy ... glx-module and sources.

They did not include a "make" command. [15:06] administrator: sorry but smoothwall is really out of my bag, i use ipcop check your install instructions or google maybe [15:07] dystopianray, this is a weird one but do you know how to sort ps -aux A-Z by command name? here is the kicker, ps wont let me output to file or i could work around it with a sort then cat | less - would appear the same way i would guess [15:07] wirechief_: ok thanks [15:07] twoshadetod: ps aux | sort [15:07] administrator: also check out the Ipcop website for their distro [15:07] twoshadetod: ps aux | sort [15:07] John117: oh, you didnt stall from source.. let me find the command for you [15:07] stefg: ok, will do! [15:07] stdin: that problem is not on the wiki afaik [15:07] twoshadetod: hm wait that sorts by user name actually. one second [15:07] twoshadetod: oh wait, command name, so you want to sort by a differnt column [15:08] BlakeG I have no idea how to install from source. That stuff kicks my a$$. LOL [15:08] yeah like lets say you wanted to pin point , for instance the grep * you are running and are lazy so you just look at command name [15:08] What did you learn? Do not MESS with xorg.conf :D [15:08] John117: the directions are all there, i just copied and pasted all teh way through the install :D === Melanchol is now known as Idealist [15:08] kl4m: no, but it shows you how to install vmware without compiling it [15:08] something where you can browse the command column "faster"(for me at least) and spot what you are looking for [15:09] blakeG lol i feel like i'm dumb when i do this stuff. It's been so long since I too linux. [15:09] Now ill mess it with somebody's help. How can i get more color depths? [15:09] anyone know why when i just install 7.10 server, when i reboot, it hangs at "running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)", and my keyboard stops responding? [15:09] hi anybody at home?

Perhaps because I am using the wrong search terms? [15:11] John117: er system->preference-settings rather [15:11] snkmad: i dont think thats the issue, you may try reinstalling ubuntu and making sure it uses the MBR instead of hd0 [15:11] <_Lucretia_> so I'm a bit worried that it won't reboot as is anymore [15:11] both did not work [15:11] they did something with no error [15:11] twoshadetod: it works for me [15:11] BlakeG: av[tab] is your friend :) [15:11] really? [15:11] can anyone help me setup a http://sh.nu dns client script to run when my ip changes??? [15:11] _Lucretia_, well, you didn't read the instructions, and didn't use update-manager it seems [15:11] is there a chennel for software development? [15:11] mc44 okay thanks. I tlooks like it doesn't minimize though. Will the settings be under Compiz settings? [15:12] mc44, alt+tab? [15:12] ill boot from livecd and post my grub config here [15:12] BlakeG: no in a terminal [15:12] <_Lucretia_> stefg: I did use the update manager [15:12] OH [15:12] John117: right click on it and go to its settings [15:12] twoshadetod: oh sorry, change the 11 to 10 [15:12] mc44 oh I see.. I really wanted the application dock.. not the window manager. [15:12] dystopianray, LjL - lemme give them another whirl [15:12] mc44: i dont have AWN installed atm, so i was working off memory [15:12] <_Lucretia_> stefg: and I did scan the instructions that it pops up with [15:13] Just curious, how many people here have managed to get their non-tech savvy friends/relatives to replace Windows with Ubuntu? For me, both my wife and my sister now use it [15:13] John117: erm, I don't know enough about it to know what the difference is? [15:13] It seems this is a good place, does anyone know how to change the default opens with when you are under places and reading a file from another pc on the network? [15:13] _Lucretia_, medibuntu changed their repo URL. so disable that for the upgrade, enable later. so are there already gutsy packages installed now ? [15:13] CapaH: working on my g/f, 2 friends and several coworkers [15:13] mc44 okay.. thanks anyway.. At least i have it running and now i can play with it. thanks! [15:13] John117: you can set it to launch apps and stuff if thats what you mean [15:14] Can anyone tell me where I can get the gutsy kernel sources? I need to change a kernel config option, but don't want to recompile all the modules, so I need the exactly matching source. The linux-source package seems to be containing a pretty much older kernel... [15:14] CapaH: mate of mine who has never touched Linux before now runs it solely on his laptop now :) [15:14] is there any way to delete the private data of Epiphany? [15:14] <_Lucretia_> stefg: it did some downloading, but of what I don't know. I don't think it downloaded any gutsy packages, just some meta stuff probably [15:14] ill be back after lunch to solve this problem, thx so far guys [15:14] mc44 yeah.. thats the feature i want.. I got it.. thanks!! [15:14] Minsis: try out kernel.org? [15:14] stdin: There are no working instructions for vmw workstation [15:14] 5 [15:14] what would be the proper channel to ask about metasploit setup on 7.10? [15:14] BlakeG: i doubt they installed a vanilla kernel [15:15] anyone use wmp54g pci card with gutsy ? [15:15] _Lucretia_, do a backup *now*. Upgrading might end in disaster, and you'll be glad if you did not take a one-way ticket [15:15] stdin: So i guess I'll switch to server for the time, or use the feisty kernel [15:15] minsis: ?? [15:15] how do I change the opens with for the places browser? The system defaults are already set and working, I need to be able to open pdf files in adobe reader while browsing the network? [15:15] MinsiS: which option do you want to patch? [15:15] I was very surprised at how fast my sister started using Ubuntu fluently -- she thought her computer itself was bad and she needed a new computer because of all the constant windows errors etc --- but her Ubuntu+Compiz runs perfectly [15:15] I need to change the memory allocator to SLAB [15:15] kl4m: do the instructions here not work: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Workstation ? [15:15] when I enable compiz under 7.10 my windows don't have a title/close/minimize/max button... how do I get it? [15:15] I want to convert html files to doc files. Is there any other tool apart from open office? [15:16] Hideme: It could be that you need to enable window decorations [15:16] copy paste [15:16] stdin: I get the same error even when using gcc 3.4 [15:16] but Question Hideme, what kind of video card do ya have [15:16] hi [15:16] MinsiS: does 2.6.22 actually ahve slab?

It's opening non-fullscreen atm [15:17] dystopianray, LjL - strange the first half of the page is sorted but then it seems to have "mini groups" that are sorted right around gnomepowermanagement [15:17] stdin: the error is not the one which the vmware-any-any patch fixes [15:17] my /boot/config* says it uses SLUB, and I need to change to SLAB [15:17] * CapaH wonders if there is another term besides 'Windows' we can start using for our uhm, application rectangles :) --- they certainly are not windows, so what are they? heh [15:17] Hideme: do you have emerald installed?

I have heard someone else in this room with the same problem who had Nvidia and they got it worked out, sadly I did not pay attention to the conversation -- but I hope that gives you at least a starting point [15:18] Ok thanks people, will take a look at them all [15:18] how to install nvidia drivers [15:18] .

It's opening non-fullscreen atm [15:19] ok [15:19] brb [15:19] hideme: that might fix it right there, ive had the same issue with a brand new install before [15:19] dystopianray, appears to override that , i.e. afile is before /bin/something and cat myfile [15:19] nm [15:20] dystopianray: Isn't there just any source package of the exact kernel they used? (2.6.22-14-generic) [15:20] nobody knows how to edit the opens with dialog under places?

[15:23] ok thank all... i try first [15:23] that sounds like an impossibility [15:23] so, ubuntu gutsy comes with more installed than i want on my base system, any way to remove all the extra fluff? [15:23] yes [15:23] kl4m: ah, i don't know about Commercial. [15:23] manually [15:23] pawan, backup your stuff, then reinstall from scratch the version you want [15:23] start up the synaptic [15:23] i have feisty installed [15:23] LjL: commercial = multiverse it seems [15:24] i want to shift to gusty [15:24] hydrogen: and start removing everything i dont want?

[15:24] BlakeG: yes [15:24] twoshadetod: ah I see, that is strange [15:24] pawan, make a backup before you upgrade. gutsy upgrades are delicate [15:24] kl4m: no, multiverse is a different thing [15:24] which command [15:24] hydrogen: hehe, that works i guess... i wish they had a way to not install that stuff to start with... [15:24] twoshadetod: the last few are being sorted by cpu time, maybe they have one more column for some reason [15:25] kl4m: the Canonical Commercial repositories aren't enabled or even listed in sources.list by default [15:25] dystopianray: linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic links to the source I tried to use, but that one contains a 2.6.22.9! [15:25] thomash_: what isn't working? does sudo apt-get install -f show errors? [15:25] dystopianray, i wonder if you can pipe ps out to a file and then in a script or something invoke that sort -k 10 on it then cat it maybe having it sorted as a text file would make it work better, maybe it has ps's that update during it's own search? dunno [15:25] hmm [15:25] MinsiS: which kernel are you expecting to find? [15:25] minsis: post your uname -a [15:25] MinsiS, don't confuse ubuntu-build-numbers with upstream kernel subversions [15:26] twoshadetod: no I think sort is seeing an extra column in there somewhere [15:26] LjL: called the "partner" repos now :) [15:26] How do i change the resolution for x, when my monitor can't show my current resolution? [15:26] my graphics card [15:26] dystopianray: the one that is usually installed in gutsy, Linux notebook 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux [15:26] BlakeG: Looks like that worked... so what is the proper way to enable Emerald by default in 7.10? [15:26] .. [15:26] mc44: my wide screen resolution wasn't working anymore. i had to run 915resolution to fix it. which i didn't have to do on feisty. now compiz isn't working any more, sometimes when i log in with gdm it just plays the jingle and stays with a coloured background and nothing else happens, wireless doesn't always connect any more [15:27] hideme: go into your CCSM (not installed by default.. [15:27] dystopianray, could that "time" mean since the command was invoked? like :00 is like ground zero and :01 is one second after? but i guess it coudln't be, it would have no reason to do so [15:27] MinsiS: that kernel is based on 2.6.22.9 so it should be what you want [15:27] or no reason to end if it did [15:27] dystopianray,BlakeG,stefg: When I compile whatever is in that source package, it gets another uname -r (2.6.22.9), so it won't find anything [15:27] twoshadetod: it's a measure of cpu time [15:28] BlakeG: CCSM?

So unless you're not running a plain vanilla ubuntu (even without custom themes) you'll likly end up with a half or fully broken box after upgrade [15:32] that's the experience i had [15:32] dystopianray, i dunno if im "there" yet [15:32] never used sed [15:32] me 2 [15:32] stefg: a friend of mine too [15:32] stefg: thus it must be true for everyone! ;P [15:32] he ended up reinstalling clean [15:33] and copying his home over [15:33] and now he's happy [15:33] mc44, plain statictics [15:33] 7.10 broke my md/lvm setup.

[15:35] kerbau: beryl has merged with compiz ... same thing now [15:35] tanath: 6 is the newest version, install that [15:35] kerbau, but its not supported anymore the two have merged you know [15:35] dystopianray, that seemed to do it, nice i need to read up on sed lol [15:35] tanath, it might take a sudo update-alternatives --config java [15:36] BlakeG, actually, i have that too [15:36] ohh i see [15:36] twoshadetod: read up on regular expressions and you can do a lot of powerful things [15:36] tanath: both 5 and 6?

[15:42] twoshadetod: i don't know what autoexec is i'm afraid [15:42] hideme: then inside the window manager icon, add "emerald" to the command line [15:42] how am I ever going to fix this?

[15:43] kerbau, google for the vmware any-any 113 update [15:43] blakeG: server [15:44] twoshadetod: yes, name it 'psort' and put it in /usr/local/bin [15:44] kerbau: reinstall it since you did an upgrade, it prolly got borked [15:44] twoshadetod: and use chmod to make it executable [15:44] hi~ [15:44] what is the command to list all the mounted partitions?

[15:47] adante, not sure. But it might be that the nvidia-source (vanilla) and kernel 2.6.23 don't go along. the source might need a patch to build against 2.6.23, which hasn't propagated to the ubuntu packages. But that's just a theory. Check nvidia-forums for known issues with 2.6.23. [15:47] BlakeG: I'm in the CCSM looking under "Window management" see nothing about a command. [15:47] anyone have success is setting up dual monitor using Nvidias 7600 GS?

[15:47] dotjay: and yes -m 384 means 384MB [15:47] Hideme: window decorator i mean [15:48] twoshadetod: rename it to to literally 'psort' without .sh [15:48] hideme: wasnt looking at the CCSM at the time [15:48] adante, all i can say is that i succesfully built 2.6.23 and Nvidia 100.14.19 with m-a [15:48] can anyone help me setup a http://sh.nu dns client script to run when my ip changes???] [15:48] twoshadetod: *nix systems do not care about file extensions they are arbitrary [15:48] MarcC: yes it is on by default (the battery) I can put the laptop to sleep but it can not wake up [15:48] twoshadetod: although actually you will have to make sure the first line of the script is #!/bin/sh [15:48] azureus is crashing on gutsy?

Only FF crashed with new mem [15:56] any idea why a lappy would run ubuntu 7.10 and not windows 2k or xp?

[16:07] winrar works on ubuntu? [16:07] This is a build of a random development version (aka trunk). It is ment for preview [16:07] and not for production use. => firefox 2 [16:07] hi [16:07] Alien18: yeah, run it in wine [16:07] hm.. I am trying to install ubuntu, but when I select the first option after the boot it takes nearly 15 minutes to get to the desktop where I get 2 icons, one of them is install!! (on duron 800). And then I can't even click on it... its like the processor is occupied 100% and nothing happens... any thoughts? [16:07] This is a build of a random development version (aka trunk). It is meant for preview [16:07] and not for production use. => firefox 3 [16:08] obviously noone can help me :S [16:08] this new ubuntu is GREAT! [16:08] ok I have built a new system..trying to put ubuntu on it...it installed fine but will not detect my inet...the motherboard has dual nics...any way to fix this? [16:08] Alien18: and for zip use the -e option to the zip program [16:08] Alien18: select the files, right click, create archive [16:08] I have lost my sound in Feisty, i had it working before, what happened? [16:08] when trying to test my microphone i get the following error: http://pastebin.org/5705 [16:08] So I have a hi-def projector tat I want to connect to my nvidia-running system. I have the dvi<->hdmi cable. Is there anything weird I should know about it, or will it be just like hooking up a monitor of odd resolution? [16:08] anyone knows how to disable the menu shortcut alt+right click? [16:08] dystopianray: why would you suggest using winrar in wine? thats insane [16:08] Ubuntu OR Mac OS X Leopard ? [16:08] Life_bird: oh. try this 1) sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg 2) select vesa driver and hit enter or select default for everything else 3) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart might work. ive noticed some problems with the new failsafe in x i think its almost more trouble than its worth right now [16:08] panosru: ubuntu [16:08] dystopianray, i havent got wine, and i dont want it [16:09] qaldune, why? [16:09] wth... [16:09] mc44: Alien18: how else do you plan on creating rar files? [16:09] ok i try that [16:09] dystopianray: er, using the rar utilities in ubuntu [16:09] rar is available for ubuntu [16:09] just pick all party [16:09] dystopianray, isnt there any other way????? [16:09] any1? [16:09] qaldune, i saw an 27 minutes presentation of Mac OS X Leopard with features that i never seen on any linux system [16:09] Alien18: yes, install unrar [16:09] I have lost my sound in Feisty, i had it working before, what happened? [16:09] Alien18, all party programs and find rar [16:09] panosru: ubuntu is free in both meanings of the term, is stable, updated, and freely distributable [16:10] Alien18: also just select the files and right click as I said [16:10] i just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 and all work beyond expectation... it found also my wlancard and i managed to get it working in wpa-psk [16:10] the new os x is really impressive [16:10] mc44, got it, but how do i make them password protected then? [16:10] i'm not gonna lie [16:10] but its also only usable on a mac [16:10] qaldune, well personally i don't care if a system is free or not [16:10] which kind of sucks [16:10] so anyone knows how to disable the alt+right click as menu? [16:10] Lion30Wrk: The liveCD doesnt work properly on all computers, I'd use the alternate CD. [16:10] yay vendor lockin [16:10] its annoying [16:10] mc44: can they create passworded rar archives? [16:10] dystopianray: of course they can [16:10] i want alt to be alt and not a menu ability with right click! :D [16:10] panosru: maybe macos x may adapt better to your needs then [16:11] Pici: so where do I get it? [16:11] Alien18: just open the file and use edit->password [16:11] Lion30Wrk: On the ubuntu download page, there is a little checkbox if you need the alternate CD. [16:11] qaldune, i'm just curious. So the only thing that keeps people use linux is that linux is free? [16:12] Pici: so ic... this alternate CD should work? what's the difference? [16:12] Has anyone gotten the 100.14.23 nvidia drivers to work with kernel 2.6.23? [16:12] mc44, ahhh, thanx [16:12] didnt know that [16:12] qaldune....no? [16:12] quick question how would i login under root [16:12] Lion30Wrk: Its not a LiveCD, and has a text based installation. Dont worry, its not hard to use. [16:12] panosru: no [16:12] sudo login doesnt want to work [16:12] er yea my bad [16:12] !root > Ritzerisk [16:12] mc44: interesting, I didn't realise there was an official rar tool for linux, i thought only unrar existed [16:13] wrong nick === nakanakanaka is now known as nakanaka [16:13] Ritzerisk: sudo -i [16:13] dystopianray: unrar isn't an official rar tool? [16:13] haha [16:13] mc44: it is [16:13] Pici: not worriing, just want to know :) what does live CD mean anyway? [16:13] panosru: can you take a copy of macosx, change it at your needs and redistribute it to somebody else, let's say your employees? [16:13] maybe he meant he though you couldnt CREATE rar files? [16:13] the new Stardict 3.0 is very disappointing, many dictionaries don't work with it anymore, I'll have to reintall the old release [16:13] mc44: i'm talking about the 'rar' tool [16:14] does nautilus lag when you open it ? i'm on gutsy ... [16:14] qaldune, i don't have employees [16:14] qaldune: i don't think so but i'm not sure [16:14] Thanks ;) [16:14] I have lost my sound in Feisty, i had it working before, what happened? [16:14] then, as I said, macos x may adapt better to your needs [16:14] Lion30Wrk: Well, when you put it in you can basically trial the OS, but in my opinion its slow, because its not touching your harddrive at all and only depending really on ram and disc speed. [16:14] how can I display the mhz of my ram? [16:14] the asterisk wouldnt let me have permission for some reason [16:14] anyone know why im getting a privilege problem when trying to access my microphone?? http://pastebin.org/5705 [16:14] if you make a heave use of media tools such as video editing, design, ... [16:15] that could be your case [16:15] or if you want something that just works [16:15] all of the time [16:15] Pici: Oh ic, I don't need this :) Speccialy on slow DVD ROM and 128mb of RAM :D [16:15] if you wanted to sort and list a ls output, would you use 2 pipes ? or could you get away with | sort less [16:15] dystopianray: ah yes, well rar is just as official as unrar [16:16] topaspv: i don't know, but memtest (which can be invoked from your boot menu) gives you the speed in megabytes/second [16:16] a [16:16] hydrogen: you talking about the Tab window changer, for instance? [16:16] Lion30Wrk: exactly. [16:16] qaldune: nope, i'm talking about the overall product [16:16] italian?? [16:16] twoshadetod: I think theres an option you can pass to ls [16:16] german ? [16:16] mc44: yes I realise that now [16:16] hydrogen: my ubuntu works all the time [16:16] no [16:16] (pike_): i tried it still i am getting same message [16:16] !de | velvetfinchen_ [16:16] velvetfinchen_: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [16:17] so do thousands of linux installations all over [16:17] qaldune: and thousands don't [16:17] qaldune: they love to break randomly [16:17] !it | iceman78 [16:17] iceman78: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

Welcome! [16:17] hello. is there a way to re-run a dist upgrade? My system got, maybe, 70% through the installation procedure and then bombed. The system is still somewhat usable (on it now). Tried going from 7.06 -> 7.10 [16:17] oh, allora niente :D [16:17] twoshadetod: see `man ls`, theres a bunch of options for sorting [16:18] hello [16:18] after changing my ip address to statis, my screen went blank after rebooot...any ideas? [16:18] thx 'le ubotu [16:18] hydrogen, almost got it [16:18] mc44: wine is an excellent, when people disregard it just becuase they dislike windows, i think it is completely ridiculous, especially if it lets you run great apps taht do exactly what you want [16:18] im trying to install ie here, and wine doesn't let me extract the files (unable to extract in volume, check your permissions) [16:18] i need ie to install . NET framework, (a program uses it to run) [16:19] dystopianray: sure but usually there is an equally good, free equivilent easily accessible in ubuntu (obviously rar isn't quite free) [16:19] any ideas ?:S [16:19] hydrogen, sudo ls / -lR | less | sort -k 3 [16:19] fn'deaddreamer: you may need to install as root if it is going anywhere other than your home directory [16:19] twoshadetod: you shouldn't need any pipes at all [16:19] but i have installed already programs with wine and it gave me no problems, why does it now ?:S [16:20] how do i install as root? :S [16:20] deaddreamer: .net framework does not work in wine [16:20] wine doesn't work with all programs [16:20] :( [16:20] in fact, wine doesn't work perfectly with most programs. [16:20] deaddreamer: for IE try ies4linux [16:20] why i don't have superdome in compiz [16:20] nah i don't need ie if i cant use .net framework jeje [16:21] hydrogen, that command is munching resources and not outputting yet lol i guess it the actual display isn't done till all is gathered [16:21] its just that .net framework requieres ie... [16:21] heya [16:21] twoshadetod: err, your doing ikt backwards as well [16:21] well im screwed then XD [16:21] twoshadetod: you should ls -lR | sort -k 3 | less [16:21] How do I configure what screen resolution libvisual uses? [16:21] deaddreamer: what do you need the .net framework for? [16:21] less is a pager, you need to feed it the output first [16:21] videora converter [16:21] or last [16:21] I've a machine here that refuses to use it's ethernet interface, it sees it in lspci, but it won't show up in ifconfig [16:21] to convert videos to xbox 360 format (.wmv... HD quality.. etc) [16:22] Tinned_Tuna: what about ifconfig -a ? [16:22] So how do I install the nvidia drivers for kernel 2.6.23? [16:22] can any1 give me (hardware 3d accelerating with i915 on ubuntu 7.10) support ? [16:22] Azzco: ubuntu does not have kernel 2.6.23 [16:22] hydrogen, daaaaamn it just went "broke" the less or at least didn't do it [16:22] Maligen: it should 'just work' out of the box [16:22] ahh yes, it shows up as eth0 there, but it has no IP or anything [16:22] I can see my windows network and open a pdf, but can't open an OOo file [16:22] what do you think about software packages from gutsy-proposed and gutsy-backports? enable or disable? [16:23] hydrogen, almost thought it did do one less before it went again, sounded like my notebook went in overdrive lol [16:23] dystopianray: cedega tests don't say so [16:23] Alp`: disable [16:23] does anyone know how I can switch the super & control keys so it acts more like Mac OS X? [16:23] Maligen: what does: 'glxinfo | grep direct' say? [16:23] any alternatives to convert to .wmv in HD and stuff like that? [16:23] ph4mp573r: Check the keyboard preferences, there are quite a few options in I think the second tab.

[16:24] hi [16:24] hey all, does anyone know how I can convert ie favoriates .htm files to Mozilla Bookmarks? Im on linux. Plainoldfavoriates is only for windows (sigh) [16:24] Maligen: are thre any errors in your Xorg.0.log file? [16:24] I tried ifup eth0, but it says it's ignoring an unknown interface :-( [16:24] I suspect it is to do with the fact that my HD is hanging of a PCI card and not the motherboard, but the first stage didn't complain [16:24] dystopianray: let me check [16:24] aptanet: sure you arent booting from cd? [16:24] Where can I get networking help? I have looked through the forums and can't seem to find help? [16:24] Paul_UK: can't firefox import a windows favourites file?

[16:41] Noobie: possibly (but probably not). Try Alien. [16:41] !alien [16:41] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM.

[17:04] christoffer, have you tried looking for the individual components? [17:04] How do I enable AIGLX and Compiz on thinkpad T41 [17:04] christoffer: you already have component L. [17:04] I think it's in your home folder [17:04] Alien18: or just use reformat to FAT32? Is there a reason to use NTFS? [17:04] i found the problem in the mixer [17:04] check there first [17:04] Mandriva does it out of the box with radeon driver [17:04] Anyone in here can help me with an Compiz Fusion issue at installing it ? [17:04] ljpp: ask in #compiz-fusion [17:04] Whitor: I would like Apache, MySQL and PHP :) I thought it came a preconfigured package [17:04] can someone help? i keep having this error when trying to updates"E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem" [17:04] whitor: thanks [17:04] there was something entitled external amplifier [17:04] christoffer, look for php, mysql, and apache [17:04] chriswaterguy, usually so you can read and write to a windows partition if you have it [17:04] it was checked but should not have been [17:05] sound is now working thru speakers [17:05] thanks, cvance, others:) [17:05] sure [17:05] what helped fourex?

[17:05] christoffer: there are preconfigured packages you can get... I don't know of any LAMP packages for Ubuntu [17:05] UGH!!!!! [17:05] i just kept playing around with mixer settings [17:05] is it possible the drive is busted? [17:05] Alien18: Don't have a windows partition... but it's an external drive. want it to work with Win. FAT32 will work for that won't it? [17:05] lifeisfunny,but how to find the compiz icon to add to my session? [17:05] christoffer: Just install Apache, MySQL, and PHP / Perl and you'll be all set [17:05] lol yeah alsamixer can be a bit confusing [17:05] :) [17:05] and then i tried checking external amplifier [17:06] yes very much so [17:06] I got beryl installed, but I can't get the cube to start. I am a moron, any help please [17:06] Whitor: It's that simple? [17:06] chriswaterguy, yep. [17:06] now everything is working for me; better than windws [17:06] I am having an issue at installing compiz fusion at the point where he is suposed to install the folders he says install completed 0 new files installed [17:06] Crystal_W is the volume corrupted [17:06] so nothing got installed [17:06] Chriswaterguy, since linux naturally reads & writes to FAT32 I's format to that. Writing to NTFS is a recent thing, so I think FAT32 would be the safer bet [17:06] thanks sigingin out [17:06] great 4 you fourex [17:06] christoffer: thats all LAMP is [17:06] hislop, did you check your home/username folder [17:06] Whitor: Thanks then m8 [17:06] Alien18: Cool, thanks. [17:06] yeap bye thanks [17:06] i hope not, it wasnt before i deleted the windows partitions [17:06] !intelhda [17:06] chriswaterguy, though i vaguely remember there being limitations to fat32, but dont quote me on that, im not sure [17:06] For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [17:06] i saw on a video about ubuntu a nice sys monitoring tool that was running as a kind of wall paper on.. anyone know that one? [17:06] christoffer: then, I reccomend getting a nice web management interface for all of it [17:06] or at least i dont think it was [17:06] animerunt, you will need to setup Services For Unix on a windows domain controller first [17:06] Ola! Can anyone tell me if there's a difference between a standard Ubuntu installation disc and the PS3 image that you can download? [17:07] hislop, take it off view/hidden to see all files and folders [17:07] unix2go: Thanks, too. Feeling very well informed now. :D [17:07] are you sure that your external hdd is hdb? [17:07] animerunt, I think if your'e running windows server 2003 R2, it's already installed [17:07] try a sudo fdisk /dev/hdb [17:07] see how stuff looks in there [17:07] Webmin comes to mind... I don't know if that is still the preffered web administration interface ... [17:07] and hit "q" to quit [17:07] Chriswaterguy, no problem your welcome, stick to whats safe I think :) [17:07] btw hit p to print partition information [17:07] my wlan0 won't let me uncheck "enable roaming mode".

[17:18] from the terminal what is the bash command to copy files ? [17:18] I'm currently using the Gutsy live CD, waiting for my old (feisty) home and filesystem partitions to finish shredding before the clean install. I did sudo shred /dev/sda1 (that's my home partition). Can somebody confirm that this was the right way to go about it? It's in the process now and therefore too late but I'd like confirmation [17:18] efkoj: well, what server are you using?

[18:04] effie_jayx, la tengo :-p [18:04] PovAddict: I would be if I would be propted to set the net connection [18:05] Lion30Wrk: so it first contacts the APT server and *then* configures your net? smart installer eh? [18:05] Ok, so linux-headers-2.6.22-11 has been removed from the repository and my system. However, I've been compiling my own alsa driver as support for my card isn't in the mainline yet. I would go to 2.6.22-14, but my wireless card hard locks the machine when I try to join an encrypted network... Am I SOL or is there a way to get the 2.6.22-11 headers back? [18:05] ok riotkittie, thanks sort of, when I try to open system/preferences/desktops effects I get and error (composite extensions not available) what's up there? [18:06] teratoma: Thank you.

[18:06] folkert: large integers can be a lot faster in 64-bit [18:07] Ugh, why did the agenda disappear from the clock panel applet? :-( [18:07] that's sucky [18:07] is it noticable? [18:07] Is there a deb package somewhere for Sun JDK 1.4.2? [18:07] folkert: http://abcathome.com/ <- that distributed computing project noticed a 3x improvement on 64-bit [18:07] If I have two network connections 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.50.0, how do I default to use one over the other? [18:07] is possible install anything in ubuntu server before of that it is going to restarted? [18:07] but that's a bit of an extreme case [18:08] fr [18:08] is the Ubuntu DVD live? [18:08] PovAddict: yes. [18:08] join/ ubuntu-fr [18:08] might explain the size of the jigdo template...

[18:09] who can help me with a problem concerning apps leaving an outline after they have been closed? [18:09] Noobie: Maybe you can try to add that to /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually [18:10] teratoma: "500 OOPS: child died" That's one of the worst error messages I've ever seen! The users are going to think they're killing children! [18:10] ok I am trying to install nvidia drivers from their website says I need to shut down x to do it..how can do that? [18:10] chris_: I think its just in case it kills the normal ssh server during the upgrade process [18:10] PovAddict: so what should I do? [18:10] I just upgraded to gutsy, and I have two major problems. 1: when booting the default kernel, my LVM root is not found. a lvm lvscan finds a different volume group, but not the group containing my root. My old 2.6.20 kernel works fine [18:10] teratoma: but the config WAS easy [18:10] pici ahhh [18:10] What do you think of the evolving of ubuntu. Is it becoming too bloated, just like m$ windows? In my opinion it does. [18:10] chris_ nenadavaj [18:11] folkert: #ubuntu-offtopic [18:11] 2: I get a blank screen when starting up X. Only "failsafe terminal" works, not "failsafe gnome", let alone anything else [18:11] ok [18:11] Hihi, can anyone help me with having vmware player 2.0 detecting printer in gutsy??

[18:12] i can't get a cube-desktop under gibbon - please help me configure it ... [18:12] chris_: /etc/init.d/gdm restart might do the job [18:12] nope... [18:12] how would I know if the G33 chipset is supported??? [18:13] kl4m: USB printer [18:13] Pici:what should I do now? my installation stopped... (setting the APT server)... not connected on the internet though (was never propted to set the connection) [18:13] If I use a script to open up a terminal and automatically execute a command the terminal closes upon completion of the command. Also, if it requires and password and the password is mistyped it closes. Is there any way to keep the terminal open for both of those to see the command's results or try the password again? [18:13] Lion30Wrk: Has it installed any packages? [18:13] how do I mount a .iso from the terminal? [18:13] !iso > PovAddict (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [18:13] zengen: Add an || to retry if you mistype the password, and there's a way to wait for input, but I've forgotten it. [18:14] Is it possible to do like a 8 hours rollback [18:14] * N3bunel brb [18:14] Pici: no I don't think so... it has been this way for more than 15 minutes now, on 60% [18:14] or yesterday rollback, since I kind of screwed up [18:14] mount -o loop image.iso /path/to/mount [18:14] Lion30Wrk: just reboot then. [18:14] riddareralf: are you running a versioned filesystem? I doubt it [18:14] how can I enable direct rendering ( i915 on ubuntu 7.10 ) ? [18:14] Viaken, thank you. [18:14] I'm using 7.10 ^^ [18:14] Lion30Wrk: the repos are a little bogged down since the gutsy release still. [18:14] teratoma: excuse me, you seem to know about vsftp, where is the log file? [18:14] kl4m: USB printer [18:14] The thing is that amarok isn't working since I installed ALOT of codecs, but I don't know what I've installed [18:15] kl4m: have you tried /var/log ? [18:15] Hi, I have a Nvidia GeForce 8400m GS card, and a 32" LCD HDTV (supports 1080i) connected view DVI .... but the "nvidia-settings" won't let me choose a resolution on the LCD TV higher than 1280x720 .... I have manually tried to change this in xorg.conf, but it just seems the tv signal locks ... any ideas? [18:15] empty: there must be a usb bridge as a device in the player, else you have to use vmware server which has it [18:15] ... adding that Im using twinview [18:15] Pici: and now what? should I start the installation again?? [18:15] zengen: There are profile options in gnome-terminal to have the window stay open after the command it runs dies. [18:15] Lion30Wrk: yes. [18:15] i will try it [18:15] i asked this in the forum, does anybody have any ideas why my ssh session with other machines on my local network would hang when exiting things such as less and vi? [18:15] Pici: :S... nothing but dissapointment till now [18:16] Lion30Wrk: :( Sorry to hear that. [18:16] Pici, great. Thank you, too.

[18:17] Maligen, why would you want that? [18:17] I'm trying to create partitions on my external HD in GParted but it just keeps hanging at "scanning devices," taking soooo long... anyone using a external HD ? [18:17] kl4m: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html check the configuration file to see where vsftp is trying to put the files. [18:17] OMG [18:17] Morrissey: it has been enbaled, but I screw it up [18:18] Pici: yeah... started installing at 3pm, now it's 7pm :S first problems with live CD now, with this one :S [18:18] kl4m: and perhaps check /var/log/syslog to see if it's trying to put the file somewhere, but is failing. [18:18] the squashfs file from the CD and the DVD are identical, but I can't reuse it because it's on the jigdo template instead of as a separate file [18:18] kl4m: and is it even running? ps aux | grep vsftp [18:18] alright this is seriously problematic. Does anyone know how I can get Button3 anywhere in a window to allow me to resize the window, rather than having to zero in my pointer on the bottom corner of the window? [18:19] yep [18:19] the log is there, my bad, /var/log/vsftpd.log [18:20] kl4m: yay! I'm glad you found it. :) [18:21] Anyone know anything about Gibbon? [18:21] Why is it better than Feisty? [18:21] hi, if i'm looking for a specific file, how do I figure out what package installs it? [18:21] Why is a swap partition preferred over a file within the filesystem? The latter has a flexible size to cope with varying load [18:21] are the servers down [18:22] jodde, you might want to go to the main ubuntu page and read about it :) [18:22] atlfalcons866: which servers? [18:22] jodde: the intention is that is a little slicker. everything should fit together a bit better and of course default compiz and stuff [18:22] I know. [18:22] HorizonXP: what's the name of the file? sometimes I try googling the file name as well as "ubuntu package" [18:22] repostorys [18:22] I was just hoping for the RD version. [18:22] jodde: Also, newer versions of most software. [18:22] RD? [18:22] emmajane: skbuff.h [18:22] Reader's Digest. [18:22] ah [18:22] HorizonXP, apt-file [18:22] Newer versions of software? [18:22] Do I have to reinstall all my old apps, etc? [18:23] jodde: The upgrade is automatic. "update-manager -d" in the terminal, and you can see the changes... [18:23] atlfalcons866: I can connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com and archive.ubuntu.com fine from here. [18:23] cool. [18:23] jodde: There are some notes for the upgrade, One sec. [18:23] horizonxp: it appears to be related to the kernel, yeah? [18:23] Hoping someone can help me resolve a kernel panic on wireless connect - gutsy? [18:23] jodde: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon/ReleaseNotes [18:23] HorizonXP: skbuff.h??? is this vmware-related? [18:23] Looking through that is worth it.

(I'm about to upgrade my Xubuntu 7.04 to Ubuntu 7.10, and so I'm planning to install it on the external HDD, as a trial... [20:49] Diafic2, take it easy... [20:49] ...and as a backup OS in case of problems during installation or down the track.) Any advice or cautions? Too many partitions a problem? [20:49] :( [20:49] Diafic2: did you install vmware from source or from apt? [20:49] * Diafic2 is just pissy because its not working [20:49] source [20:49] I couldn't get the apt way to work [20:49] #666 [20:49] hello [20:50] Vlet: will this help me if i paste it in my source.list ? [20:50] Diafic2: have you recently upgraded your kernel? that usually breaks vmware for me until i download the headers [20:50] IMYojimbo, you need to make a backup for important things like i did , example Samba files , xorg files , source list files and resolv.conf file [20:50] hexidigital, compile was fine [20:50] the machine has been installed today [20:50] Guys ! , my laptop gets really overheated on ubuntu,, anyway to lower cpu usage or so ??

VMWare is good, but I found VB better [20:52] maybe powermanagement is skewed. [20:52] Jupp2, link? [20:52] hexidigital: :) [20:52] on my machine "firefox-b" is sending something to google at 25kb/s (I don't have any intentional file transfers going, gutsy is doing this by itself) .... why is ubuntu doing this?

[21:00] I just clicked and dragged my bottom panel and messed up the display that shows my desktop(s) It looks like they're all stacked up and a I can't get back to the first one. Also, how do I reduce the number of workspaces down to one and keep the desktop cube? [21:00] nullkuhl, 1) it's not "Ubuntu 2" [21:00] nullkuhl, 2) there's plenty changed. read the changelog :) [21:00] nullkuhl, its just a progressive update === oslo_pasl is now known as oslo [21:00] the problem is,, everything is in gutsy i already had at fiesty,, like compiz fusion,, n the rest.. ntfs support n so on [21:00] i dont know why i feel i ripped mac lo [21:01] i mean just packages are already installed nothing more :S...

[21:01] if I re-partition an NTFS drive, leave enough room for the data on there already, and create a ~15Gb ext3 partition from it, will I lose what's on the NTFS filesystem?? [21:01] read the changelog next time [21:01] nullkuhl, why did you upgrade yes [21:01] especially at batterylife and booting speed [21:01] nullkuhl: I've been using gnome for years, and each change has seemed minimal, but my god :) [21:01] nullkuhl: So? There are heaps and heaps of changes, new versions, etc [21:01] network monitor not showing upload and download data :( [21:01] PThomas, lspci | grep -i vga should do [21:01] wildman: alright thanks [21:01] nullkuhl, its always better for a fresh install , i did upgrade before now i format and new fresh install just to fix my 11 problems i had [21:01] Can somebody help me with the desktops/workspaces?

[21:01] i did a fresh install [21:02] thats why am pissed,,i formatted for 0 change now.. :S [21:02] nullkuhl: Why did you do a fresh install? o.O [21:02] I'm trying to install an nvidia driver i downloaded but it says "you appear to be running an x server; please exit X before installing" [21:02] John117: you have to have more than one workspace to have a cube, since a cube has more than one face [21:02] 22:01] nullkuhl, its always better for a fresh install , [21:02] !restricted | gkwong [21:02] gkwong: 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 [21:02] Anyone when i tried to sudo apt-get update i got a message could not get lock /var/lib/ apt/lists/lock/ [21:02] John117: and probably the fastest way to fix that problem would be to delete the applet and re-add it [21:02] nullkuhl, ? [21:02] nickrud I understand that. . But i have "Desktops" that don't show up on the cube. Like there are multiple cubes. I can select them in the bottom right. [21:03] yes ?? [21:03] I need help with the problem in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3612547#post3612547 [21:03] somebody help please! [21:03] toby: Usually means you have update manager, synaptic, something like that running [21:03] gkwong: be sure you write down all the steps before killing x. sudo /etc/initd./gdm stop then just start or restart to well restart [21:03] ist better to do a fresh install [21:03] hi, for alsa: speaker-test -c6 -Dplug:surround51 -t wav -l1, finally works for me to get surround sound, how do I make that the default setup ? [21:03] toby: this is perhaps because apt is currently in use.. [21:03] nickrud that might be fastest for someone who is good at deleting applets. :) [21:03] dresal nothing is running [21:03] gkwong: you really need the latest nvidia drivers? the packages dont work? [21:03] John117: I think I've seen something in ccsm about multiple cubes, but haven't messed with it. Maybe you can disable that [21:03] toby: disable all features using apt, or synaptic [21:03] toby: If the status area is locked, it means something that manages packages is running. [21:04] Pike, no, the restricted driver doesnt work...

What do I do? [21:04] toby: something is running.. [21:04] you aren't just aware of it [21:04] nickrud i'll try that. Before I had compiz, i accidently set it to have multiple desktops. Plus, the desktops in the coner they are all flat and wide and stacked up instead of side by side.

[21:44] musashi, probably /var/log/ <- somewhere, i don't know either. maybe #mysql knows more [21:44] ILoveCLI ganme over - one of the 4 should be an "extended partition" into which you can put lots of logical partitions, but no more primaries [21:44] Vern, you still there?

[21:59] Moduliz0r, http://www.tux.org/pub/knaff/fdutils/ might be interesting [21:59] aBigLamer wants a refund I guess :-/ [21:59] hehe [21:59] Opa1 [21:59] I keep losing wifi connectivity now after I upgraded to 7.10... any help? [21:59] after upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 I lost ldap-pam support (long delays then fail authentification), everything ldap-nss still works, and config for ldap-pam is still there... any idea's? [22:00] Opa1, yes, after you split the mirroring for the root disk, if you have that :) [22:00] stefg: But what do I install to be able to use them from nautilus? they appear but Ubuntu doesn't work properly with them [22:00] can someone do ma a favour and host somewhere /etc/fonts/* from default ubuntu installation? [22:00] Good evening everyone [22:00] Opa1, i'm really curios how stable the thing is on sparc. [22:00] stefg: Is there an apt package for it? [22:00] ok i dont even have a /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock file [22:00] hi i use ubuntu 7.10 beta how to upgrade to ubuntu 7.10 ..? [22:00] preaction, i take it thats bad D: [22:00] Moduliz0r, it's not that well supported. requires manual tinkering. [22:01] Hi, For some reason when I have the nvidia driver installed the inactive title bar in Firefox corrupts when a tooltip displays at the top of the screen but this doesn't happen in any other application. Any ideas on how to fix that? [22:01] hi. Where is the HIBERNATE image kept? [22:01] stefg: Well it mounts, so what could be wrong? [22:01] Jalazmi, you should have seen some updates...if you updated, then you're no longer beta...you won't get a notice [22:01] Can somebody explain to me how I can export a NTFS partition with NFS? [22:01] Calin24: perhaps something about the config files is different in 7.10, and the updater doesn't handle it correctly... perhaps if you were to backup your config, 'completely remove' the ldap-pam package, then reinstall and reconfigure it would work [22:01] My cpu is getting maxed out by udevd [22:01] So basically I'm going to have to boot into BlueScreen Hell (Windows) whenever I want to use the floppy drive... [22:01] Moduliz0r, read the link i gave you. fdutils don't work with usb-floppies, b/c they don't have direct acces to the fdc [22:02] :'( [22:02] It's easier to boot into Windows then ^_^ [22:02] My cpu is getting maxed out by udevd [22:02] src: ?? I'll do the mirror stuff when I can boot normally first - at the moment I can't seem to find a sparc net-install kernel+initrd ;-( [22:02] Opa1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Sparc [22:02] duelboot : okey, but which update u mean ..? and how i know i get notice or not ..? [22:03] it's through the normal update manager Jalazmi [22:03] Is there any way I can join a team or something of that nature to contribute to ubuntu? [22:03] * Opa1 RTFM ... ;-) [22:03] is there an installation howto from hard drive without burning CD? [22:03] you know how you see the orange icon and it tells you that you have updates? Jalazmi [22:03] !contribute | Flare183 [22:03] Flare183: To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate [22:03] hi [22:04] Hello. I'm looking to reinstall Ubuntu, and I'd just like to how exactly I ought to go about backing up my files and stuff...I know there is going to be some thing with permissions, but I can't remember exactly how to resolve it [22:04] Opa1, is this thing even supported on sparc, or are we talking some major hacking involved!? [22:04] cool [22:04] how do I talk to a device in my pcmcia slot? [22:04] Zasch: what permission issues are you expecting? Just backup your home dir and your configs (for reference) [22:04] !backup | Zasch [22:04] Zasch: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [22:04] like query the device from the command line === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [22:05] I would like to delete this with regular expressions in writer: "(Date which who's changing) NAME:" name is allways the same only date is changeing. What would be the regular expression for this? [22:05] duelboot: ya i`m update my computer every day but i don`t see any notice that tell my i use ubuntu 7.10 .. [22:05] Zasch, where are you going to put the backup ? [22:05] ubuntu_: I remember a while back I imported some file from another computer, and it complained that I didn't own it or something. [22:05] Arch_NME: chech dmesg right after you put the device in and see if it is given a location in /dev [22:05] anyone have HL2/Source based games running in wine? [22:05] Anybody have a problem with nvidia driver after upgrading to gutsy? [22:06] stefg: What I'd do is backup to my flash drive (or my iPod or something), reinstall Ubuntu, and hopefully just put it back to where it was before [22:06] anyone know how to query a device that's inserted in the pcmcia slot? [22:06] Message test [22:06] src: OK, it's dapper I should have been looking for - thanks for the tip [22:06] Message test [22:06] Message test [22:06] orn, On my laptop I am [22:06] Zasch: your own files are easy to fix. Config files would cause permission issues. If you're doing a clean install you shouldn't be importing them back anyway. [22:06] Opa1, good luck man. [22:06] hello everybody [22:06] Jalazmi, It won't tell you...you should be fine [22:06] abcde: what kind of laptop [22:06] :) [22:06] it's a panasonic toughbook [22:06] what is the difference between Ubuntu, Windows and Mac? [22:06] OS [22:06] Opa1, i'm just curious, why would you put linux on sparc!? [22:06] linux, bsd, windows kernel [22:06] Looks like I cant msg to #ubuntu!? [22:06] Looks like I cant msg to #ubuntu!? [22:06] Looks like I cant msg to #ubuntu!? [22:06] Looks like I cant msg to #ubuntu!? [22:06] Looks like I cant msg to #ubuntu!? [22:07] Zasch, so if you put it on flash just make sure to use a native linux filesystem on it. Permissions only get lost, if you try to save on ntfs/fat32, because these systems don't undertand linux permissions [22:07] uptownben: i disagree [22:07] Once I install and stuff from the Synaptic Package Manager, for example Apache and PHP modules, how do I use em? [22:07] i heard from a friend if u have a laptop with vista installed u will not be able to download linux or xp on it is that true??:S [22:07] hey [22:07] ubuntu_: Well, the reason I'm doing a clean install is because I'm almost out of space on my Ubuntu partition...I didn't anticipate that I'd actually stick with Ubuntu, so I gave it a low amount of space, and I have my Windows partition just sitting on about 70GB worth of free space, so I figure I might as well wipe Windows [22:07] abcde_: What kind of a laptop do you have? [22:07] how I can make Ubuntu 7.10 multiboot without breaking Vista. [22:07] on frostwire I just get a white blank screen [22:07] ubuntu, you can run ubuntu with vista installed [22:07] anyone know how I can fix that [22:07] orn, An HP laptop [22:07] i have it on two machines with vista [22:07] Zasch, you could as well just tar everything up or use dd [22:07] that WAS a rumor because windows was going to encrypt the bootloader [22:07] Oh you saw that? wierd.. because I've been msg questions for about 6 hours and no one responds to any of them.... [22:08] how can i do that , im new to the Linux family , cvance [22:08] abcde_: What is your problem like? It just stopped working for me.. I've tried both versions of nvidia in apt and used envy [22:08] I thought surely it must be my connection [22:08] do you have the 7.10 install disc? [22:08] can anyone help me [22:08] I have a problem with frostwire [22:08] does anyone know how to query a device inserted in a pcmcia port? [22:08] orn, The driver just doesn't load or install or anything [22:08] abcde_: actually, the envy driver starts up but the screen is just blank [22:08] pcictl [22:08] to find the device ID etc [22:08] i believe Arch_NME [22:08] bobdrakken, it depends on your problem [22:08] ccci have the 5.04 install disk , i know its a bit old , i borrowed it from a friend [22:08] thank you cvance [22:08] duelboot: ammmm so u mean it will be upgrade automatically when i keep my computer update ..

[22:29] cvance, you sound like you might be able to help me with my sound problem too [22:29] I think you change change the theme [22:29] I downloaded the CD image and burned it, but this lappy is so old the CD drive doesn't work anymore. [22:29] Steve^, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [22:29] cvance, javavm steals sound from any other program [22:29] twoshadetod: i use Wireshark with success for that purpose [22:29] lol sorry samuli i wasnt ignoring you on purpose, i just didnt see your question [22:30] ubuntu login or Thee Theme [22:30] gribouille: In that case I'd search the online package archives (they publish the file-list of all packages) so use Google "libcrypt site:http://packages.ubuntu.com/" [22:30] I burned both x86 and 64bit version of Ubuntu. I mixed up the discs now so what's the easiest way to find out which is which? [22:30] TornadoChas3r001: yeah, problem is my theme doesnt change it so I want to change it to match the theme [22:30] perhaps javavm is running with oss emulation, hence stealing and breakin sound for other applications [22:30] magnetron, i have used it but thought it only worked with connections im on....like can you grab what your neighbor is sending to his own unencrypted AP? [22:30] cvance, hehe, np. I don't think you were even here when I asked about it :) [22:30] DShepherd, it says starting.. says [OK], but I'm still at the prompt. Is it hiding somewhere?

[22:31] generally no spiker you would need to specify the port [22:31] magnetron: Did you see my reply or are you busy? [22:31] twoshadetod: for that purpose, use airodump-ng . then you can watch the dump file with wireshark [22:31] is KDE prefered over gnome here? [22:31] http generally will look into port 80 [22:31] https will use port 443 [22:31] Kevin_121 are you trying to change login or the desktop theme [22:31] cvance, in any case, you're saying that there's little I can do about it. Right? [22:31] does anybody uses dvd-ram?? [22:31] hello [22:31] is fluxbox broken in gusty? or do i just have bad luck?

[22:31] Is there a way to install Ubuntu from the CD image without using an actual CD? I don't have a USB stick or similar big enough, so I'm thinking if it's maybe possible to create a new partition from windows, but the ubuntu files there, reboot, install, reclaim the rest of the HD (removing windows entirely). Is this possible? [22:31] which can help you [22:31] fairway: Ubuntu uses Gnome by default, Kubuntu uses KDE by default. [22:31] cvance, did you see the paste? [22:31] DShepherd, Stopping [OK], starting [OK], screen goes black for half a second maybe 3 times, 3 seconds apart. Still at prompt.

Whether i have to edit the theme i am already using or not [22:33] ok [22:33] brb [22:33] magnetron, thanks but it looks like wireshark has a way to just filter out my own info so i can see my neighbors, but i'll read the man if i get stuck [22:33] cvance, ok did that [22:33] TornadoChas3r001: bg color of the main menu i mean [22:33] Keule|on: we use the scrollback to see if we can answer the questions. then we do [22:33] said setting up alsa [22:33] I almost got it, does anyone know how to launch another X session from inside gnome?

[22:58] says something about kinit resume and no resume image [22:58] && means you're going to type another command [22:59] tofukitty, gparted was built for exactly you want, after all [22:59] thx [22:59] I see the encryption program Truecrypt is not in the repositories.

[23:08] crdlb, I got that file open in a text editor now. What do you mean by 'pastebin'..? [23:08] DShepherd they're the same as before [23:08] PinkFloyd, then i have no idea [23:08] !pastebin | Ljorring [23:08] Ljorring: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [23:08] eh.. the audio preview (in nautilus) plays a file I deleted.. how do I stop it? :) [23:09] DShepherd I was thinking a dpkg reconfigure might solve it? [23:09] PinkFloyd, eveerthing else works? [23:09] pinkfloyd: that's better than my case. my system turns my monitor off even tho i don't want it to. nothing in power management will change that. i just live with it. [23:09] why does my hardware manager tell me that my radeon 9800 pro card is on a PCI bus when it most assuredly is not [23:09] KI4IKL, try deleting your .openoffice.org2 directory in your home directory. [23:09] ok.. i have 2 systems need to be setup for constant graphics.. opengl python and gtglext python driver are needed [23:09] DShepherd yes [23:09] open to anyone [23:09] khelll: After I do "sudo umount /dev/sda2" , "ntfsresize -n -s 25G /dev/sda2" works correctly here. Check what is mounted if the issue continues using "mount" [23:09] PinkFloyd, i guess you can try your idea then. [23:10] mudfly, that wont remove openoffice, will it? [23:10] Intuitivenipple: After sudo dpkg-reconfigure xsever-xorg it says that this package is not installed [23:10] KI4IKL, no that will only delete user preferences.

Do the resize "sudo ntfsresize -s 25G /dev/sda1" [23:13] i am going to do a clean install, and then reload my custom apps with aptoncd, I want to keep my home drive, so do I mount it durring the install as /home, or do I mount it later as /home?

[23:19] and still no sound [23:19] DSheperd: I jsut installed ubuntu yesterday this is my first linux box ever so I am trying [23:19] you should put http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ & http://shipit.kubuntu.com/ in topic [23:19] titusg: by googleing :P [23:19] kvlfrog, that's great :-). soon you be a pro! [23:20] you'll* [23:20] Ljorring, pastebin the output of glxinfo [23:20] what cahn can i get advice about computer hardware, not help just advice on making a purchase decision [23:20] dA_ShArP, thanks for that. Quality. [23:20] when i do sudo umount /dev/sda1 i get umount: /dev/sda1: not mounted [23:20] crdlb: i dunno whats the problem but the autocomplete for the package after "sudo apt-get install gnome-"(for example)is returning nothing . can you fix this problem? [23:21] dA_ShArP: its because theres probably multiple packaged named gnome-somethingorother [23:21] packages* [23:21] kditty: what hardware? [23:21] shoot what is the line you add to a shell to make it executable without sh? something like !#/bash [23:21] khelll, you need to unmount the directory you mounted a device on, not the device you mounted. Run mount with no arguments to find out where you mounted /dev/sda1 [23:21] khelll: That looks as if the Windows partition is mounted by its UUID - try this: "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | grep sda1" and see if the UUID is a link to /dev/sda1. If so, to unmount it use the mount-point not the device: "sudo umount /media/sda1" [23:21] how can I restart alsa? [23:21] philo23: lol [23:22] philo23: then it should show all the possibilities.. but its notdoing that [23:22] I tryed /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [23:22] philo23: thats the problem [23:22] You need to do that with sudo [23:22] DSheperd: Ok dpkg-reconfigure worked now it is telling me for the X windows System to work I need to select wich video card driver to use, how do i select the driver form the dpkg-reconfigure screen? [23:22] shane634: i want a new hard drive, external. i dont know the best place to buy, or if i should buy the external case and insert an internal drive etc [23:22] biouser: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart [23:22] is there another way to reboot the sound without restarting the computer? [23:22] philo23: any fix? [23:22] how can i see which driver version the restricter drivers manager will install? [23:22] my bet is the apt-get is using its own way to override the file name fetching of the terminal, so its not something that can be fixed easily [23:23] kditty: HD's are pretty standard now adays [23:23] philo23: this problem started when i installed kubuntu gutsy [23:23] or it might just be theres a whole lot of posible options [23:23] jack server jacked my sound [23:23] crdlb: glxinfo @ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41862/ [23:23] how do i use my second monitor when configured without xinerama?

[23:23] kvlfrog, use the up and down arrows to browse the list. and enter to choose what you want [23:23] Question: Nothing in !sound helps me solve my problem with my external audio card not being my primary audio device. I can play test sounds through my external audio card, but I can't get apps like firefox and media players to play through it. aplay -l doesn't play through it either. Where should I look? [23:23] what would people recommend for web admin of ubuntu-server? ebox is minimal and webmin doesn't seem to exist [23:23] Ljorring, ah, you're using Xgl [23:23] that's normal in Xgfl [23:23] Xgl* [23:23] intuitivenipple , i got this lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2007-10-23 23:26 109C8DFA7B0D5B27 -> ../../sda1 when i did ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | grep sda1 [23:24] philo23: what do you sujest? [23:24] What would be the command to run a program in a new tab of the same gnome-terminal already open ?? I'm trying to make a script [23:24] marchpumpkin, try asking in #ubuntu-server. the smart guys are there [23:24] crdlb: I dont know what Xgl is... I assume it's a bad thing now? :) [23:24] the drive where grub live is /dev/hda2- I want to reinstall grub on there but whatever I enter for the device I get 'Format of install_device not recognized.'

[23:26] anyone got patches for kernel 2.6.23 for the new ati drivers? [23:27] biouser: With sudo? [23:27] whalesalad look in /var/log [23:27] sandriman, yeah, it "worked" it just didn't do anything [23:27] weird Q. does anyone know if there's an automated way to prune gconf settings for schemas that no longer exist? [23:27] crdlb: so to get direct rendering, I ahve to disable compiz? [23:27] Check that your soundcard isn't muted [23:27] ABCC: im looking there and can't find anything [23:27] i.e. I install evolution, evolutotion creates gconf settings. I know purge evolution [23:27] eyeRmonkey: For each application, you need to tell it which device to use. Some apps won't let you do that, and the option/parameter to do it varies from one app to the next [23:27] it turns out I don't need to recompile any kernels after all, the airprime drivers I need are already in the current kernel [23:27] bushwakko, i say we just push for them to get them in the repos [23:27] Ljorring, more or less [23:27] IntuitiveNipple: how would i do it for firefox? [23:28] I just need to direct ubbuntu to associate them with my card which it is detecting [23:28] biouser: Type in 'alsamixer' and see that none of the volume outlets are muted [23:28] doofy`, no time :P [23:28] whalesalad, /var/log/auth.log [23:28] You can mute/unmute with 'm' and use arrow keys to raise/lower and navigate the outlets [23:28] I can do a lsusb command at the terminal and it tells me it sees th card [23:28] eyeRmonkey: I'm not sure, I've never tried. You'd need to look for a config: option or a command-line option [23:28] shane634: i think it could be because its 6.06 [23:28] bushwakko, you mean theres no time for MOTU or you? [23:28] ok if I do sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel it just goes back to prompt...no error no nothing [23:28] sandriman, everything is fine there [23:28] me [23:28] are x-fi drivers avail yet for ubuntu? [23:28] philo23: sorry i missed the card make [23:28] does vsftp not allow a user with a shell of /dev/null? [23:28] this is traditionally used to further secure a user in case they are able to break jail [23:28] my users with a /dev/null shell are unable to login? [23:28] this is using standard ftp [23:28] sandriman: how would i change the default audio device in 'alsamixer' [23:28] intuitivenipple when doing sudo ntfsresize -n -s 50G /dev/sda1 it worked but finally it gave me ERROR: Extended record needed (1032 > 1024), not yet supported! [23:28] ... [23:28] crdlb: ok, thanks for your time. I really appreciate it. I may return later? [23:29] my cats are at war [23:29] shane634: linksys WMP55AG [23:29] sandriman, it was from using jack and it not fully shutting down somehow, maybe somehting with esd [23:29] eyeRmonkey: You don't, you supply the device you adjust as a parameter. [23:29] please? Anyone? [23:29] khelll: Sounds like it's a Vista partition? [23:29] it shows up as "Bus 002 Device 002: ID 106c:3701 Curitel Communications, Inc." when I run the lsusb command [23:29] biouser: Are you sure it isn't just esd pissing its pants? [23:29] sandriman: how do i go about changing my default audio device, then? [23:29] philo23: that card is well documented on the forum [23:29] i dont have vista here [23:29] typical of esd [23:29] bushwakko, u shouldnt need to patch the kernel for the ati drivers i would think ? [23:29] eyeRmonkey: Beats me, I never had multiple devices :D [23:29] shane634: i'll go take a look thanks [23:29] xp proffesional [23:29] sandriman: haha. okay ;) [23:29] I just need now to tell ubuntu to use the airprime driver for this device and then somehow operate the device thru kppp [23:30] eyeRmonkey: Sorry :D [23:30] Evanlec, I need a patch for the ati drivers for 2.6.23 [23:30] philo23: if you get stuck let me know.. i will search it for ya [23:30] anyone have any clue how to do that? [23:30] sandriman, maybe, what would that entail? [23:30] shane634: ok thanks :) [23:30] bushwakko, are these the new opensource drivers ur speaking of? [23:30] nope [23:30] new prop [23:30] i dont understand then [23:30] 8.42.4 [23:31] they only run on patched version of 2.6.23? [23:31] intuitivenipple , i dont have vista, it says also Please try to free less space. [23:31] i think he means 8.42.3 [23:31] khelll: You try to free less space (make the -s XXG value bigger than the one you're using) [23:31] biouser: Well. esd might sometimes jam. You might want to try to kill the esound process and starting some playback app that spawns it, like Totem and trying again. [23:31] can any one help me with my resolution in gusty gibbon? I can't seem to go up higher than 800X600 [23:32] totem caused me no end of issues [23:32] fo_x86: What kind of graphics card do you have? [23:32] is there a separate channel for ubuntu server [23:32] Question: After 5 minutes in Ubuntu, my fans start running at 100% and never slow down. My computer does feel pretty hot, so maybe they need to be running, but i'm not sure why Ubuntu is heating up my laptop so much. any ideas? [23:32] i would say with how gutsy using composite by default and this being the package to support the necessary drivers it would be pretty good to get it in to the repos quickly [23:32] augi01: I have an intel media accelerator 950 [23:32] sandriman, thanks, I think I might have found the problem, let me see [23:32] eyeRmonkey: what proc. and what version of ubuntu? [23:32] anyone here using a RT2500 based wifi card? [23:33] shane634: no particular process is running high. that's what's weird. Gutsy [23:33] Evanlec: rt2500pci works fine. [23:33] hey fam [23:33] Evanlec: yep i do on my desktop [23:33] Hi guys. [23:33] Could someone tell me how to install 7.10 in terminal? [23:33] eyeRmonkey: what processor? [23:33] augi01: I have a dell 2007WFP plugged in to my laptop where my gusty gibbon runs, it used to have a good resolution, until today when I tried tweaking the screen and graphics preferences [23:33] Update manager crashes during install. [23:33] sorry i shoulda specified, anyone using a rt2500 card with a vanilla kernel ? [23:33] fo_x86: Is your xorg file configured properly? When I installed Gusty on my box I couldn't get my resolution higher than 1024x768 until I reconfigured it. [23:33] shane634: ah. intel core duo 2 === no_winblowz is now known as runemaste644 [23:33] how do I do that? === Lambda is now known as Lambda[Dyus] [23:34] eyeRmonkey: perhaps the second core isn't switching on [23:34] void^, i know it does on ubuntu kernel, but im having trouble compiling the module for my custom kernel [23:34] fo_x86: In the terminal, type 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:34] sandriman, I got it, I killed the esd and a jackd process that was lingering around.... and then.. there was sound.... [23:34] Without the ' [23:34] Evanlec: might have problems compiling the module on 2.6.23 until they update the code [23:34] biouser: Excellent. :) [23:34] shane634: according to the system monitor, it is. both cores are doing some work [23:34] thanks all! [23:34] biouser: No prob [23:34] void^, really? what should i do then? [23:34] how can ive tasks and appointement like: http://www.ubuntu.com/files/GutsyImages/Calendar-Todo-and-Events.jpg , apparently gnome-schedule isnt the right package. [23:35] augi01: ok I'll try that [23:35] eyeRmonkey: just a thought there was some talk back when about a false reporting of both cores [23:35] Can someone tell me how to upgrade pls? [23:35] What fs type would i use to mounft a windows drive shared on a windows network? [23:35] mount* [23:35] fo_x86: Then you can select the proper driver for your card, after you'll need to restart your xserver for it to take effect. [23:35] shane634: ah. not sure. even though, i'm not doing anything intense (besides compiz fusion) and the fan just never stops [23:35] Evanlec: if you don't want to fix it yourself and can't find a patch somewhere you will have to wait/use an older kernel version [23:35] void^, im following this guide, http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rt2400_Installation_Guide [23:36] eyeRmonkey: that would make since if the chip is getting hot [23:36] how can I make ls -l only display the permissions and file path/name? [23:36] I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy and it doesn't recognize the USB keyboard on the boot menu, though BIOS does. Any suggestions? [23:36] shane634: yeah. i guess the question becomes "why does ubuntu heat up my computer" [23:36] (no date) [23:36] eyeRmonkey: yeah sorry no help there [23:36] i've lost my install xorg.conf, how do i get it back? [23:37] shane634: okay. thanks for yout time :) [23:37] dan-g, the boot menu doesn't have any usb drivers loaded [23:37] eyeRmonkey: are you using the 64bit version? [23:37] what the command to echo stuff from a console program to a file [23:37] eyeRmonkey, possible answer: b/c your acpi is droken [23:37] how do i format a partition for fat32? and is that ok for a 160 gig drive? [23:37] something like: tmp.txt < echo program [23:37] *broken [23:37] gennui: Have you done; sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [23:37] hi guys - how i can install Automatix2 on ubuntu dapper 6.06 [23:37] dan-g, the boot menu should just time out..it's also possible to change it's default action from within ubuntu [23:37] shane634: no. although the processor is a 64 bit processor, i'm using the i386 version [23:37] void^, this is the error im getting trying to install the module, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41865/ [23:37] dirtyhand, program > file [23:37] gennui: That'll create a new xorg.conf file for you that you create. [23:37] stefg: what is the "acpi"? [23:37] stefg: good point i forgot about that [23:37] thanks [23:37] Hey guys, how can I kill my update manager? [23:38] jodde: why would you do that? [23:38] void^, same error i get when i try running make on my 2.6.23 kernel [23:38] no, sounds promising... the supposed external monitor hotplugging totally borked everything... arg. [23:38] hi, how do i make the nvidia module load at startup? i put it into /etc/modules but it doesn't load. when i try to probe it i get a fatal error, someone was talking about bulletproof x last night but i didn't get it [23:38] JohnRobert: I have both Windows and Ubuntu installed, but since it doesn't recognize the keyboard I can't select windows (or any other mode, for that matter) [23:38] Because it hung. [23:38] hi guys - how i can install Automatix2 on ubuntu dapper 6.06 [23:38] It hung while I was trying to upgrade to 7.10. [23:38] gennui: Yeah, it's happened to me before too. [23:38] jodde, well go System > administration > system monitor > processors > righ click on the one you want to kill > kill [23:38] Unfortunately dual monitors is tricky. :p [23:38] dan-g, as far as I know, there's nothing you can do about that apart from plug it into a ps2 port using an adapter [23:38] Evanlec: uh, you are using the old rt2500 driver there. i suppose it hasn't been officially adapted for .22 even. [23:38] bit of a shame really [23:38] what can i use to add subtitling to some ogg videos/ [23:39] ? [23:39] adante, wb... you cant just throw it somewher in /lib/modules [23:39] augi01: how do I restart my xserver? would I need to reboot? [23:39] JohnRobert: damn! thanks for the advice :) [23:39] void^, oh...wheres the new driver? use the one from ralink site? [23:39] fo_x86: You can do 'ctrl+alt+backspace' and then you'll need to login again. [23:39] fo_x86: logout so you get to the login screen, then ctrl+alt+backspace [23:39] Evanlec: mine is recognized out of the box on 7.10 [23:39] dan-g, [23:39] http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/installation/31216-boot-loader-problems-usb-keyboard-doesnt-work.html [23:39] Evanlec: no, the non-legacy driver from that page. either a cvs snapshot or git code. [23:40] go into your bios and enable usb legacy support if you can [23:40] hi ppl [23:40] augi01: I just did OK for every thing in the configuration is that right? [23:40] shane634, yea i know so is mine, but im trying to build a custom kernel [23:40] Evanlec: that's the new driver which is default in gutsy. [23:40] is it possible to partition my hdd after installing linux?? [23:40] augi01: it wasn't that tricky with twinview [23:40] i would like to create a new partition [23:40] DShepherd, there is some software available, google for "srt format linux" [23:40] in windows this was possible with partition magic [23:40] stefg: ok, after much-ado-about-nothing (it seems there is an incompatibility between .6.23 and nvidia-kernel-source) i have it built on .6.22 (patched for ir support which is what i wanted)... i've forgotten the other half of your instructions however, can you refresh me? :] [23:40] is there anyhting similar on ubuntu? [23:40] Evanlec: ok [23:40] I don't see it in here. [23:40] augi01: I can't see the intel 950 driver [23:40] I don't know what process the upgrade is linked to. [23:41] adante, the module-assistant part ? [23:41] here goes... see if the new xorg.conf is ok === TheDreamer is now known as Youri [23:41] void^, oh, do i want the rt2x00-cvs-daily.tar.gz ? [23:41] fo_x86: Have you tried the VESA driver? [23:41] stefg: i've run m-a a-i nvidia, successfully built the module, and i can insmod it [23:41] augi01: oh so I needed to choose the VESA driver? [23:41] Evanlec: yes, but it's quite likely not going to work with .23 either [23:41] void^, bahhh, why not? [23:41] stefg: how do i go about getting it loaded in on startup for x to use & so on [23:41] astro76, ok [23:41] Evanlec: like i said above [23:41] Hey guys, how good is Gutsy. I've heard many diffeent things [23:41] fo_x86: VESA is the default 'safe' driver, as I understand it anyways, it could solve your problem. [23:42] @ ubuntu - download & burn the CD [23:42] you can run it off the CD at first to have a go [23:42] see what you reckon [23:42] ubuntu, its here and there. but that is my opinion :-) [23:42] gutsy is good [23:42] fo_x86: When I had a laptop with that card, that's the driver I used. [23:42] augi01: I'll logout and see you in a moment [23:42] it's diffeent [23:42] blue, I'm waiting for the CD from shipit. [23:42] hallo [23:42] then you can see wehther you like it or not, without changing anything on your current PC [23:42] ahh ok :) [23:42] DShepherd, I've never done it or I'd help more.. I've only encountered srt files, it's a pretty simple text format, each line has starttime stoptime text [23:42] what the hell is the key? [23:42] well, i'm currently running windows on my main desktop - i've been dabbling with linux for the student radio station which I work for! [23:42] I can't create folders in certain directories through the command line, I would assume it is because I am not logged in. How can I get access to those folders? [23:42] I've been using ubuntu since Warty [23:42] few logging computers here and there, etc [23:43] ahh ok :) [23:43] astro76, hmm ok. thanks for the tip [23:43] cvd: Usually the Windows key. [23:43] addicted68098: sudo perhaps [23:43] oh OK Thns [23:43] hi [23:43] how do i get the generic kernel source? [23:43] for my ubuntu? [23:43] hey what is the command to view my logs [23:43] in xchat [23:43] DShepherd, and I know if the video and srt are in the same dir with the same name, vlc will start with the subtitles on ;) [23:43] briantumor: you can dl it [23:43] bye [23:43] how? [23:43] astro76, ok [23:44] how do i get the exact version? [23:44] that's being used on my system? [23:44] ubuntu: one one machine of mine it failed the update miserably forcing the machine to be completely redone. On another machine the update went with a few hitches. On an old laptop the update went without a hitch. On a 4th machine I can't get it to boot the cd and present me with a desktop with menus and can't even get gparted to work. But other than that it is ok. [23:44] recentlogs [23:44] ubuntu: just depends on the machine and the hardware configuration [23:44] cvd, you should go in preferences in xchat first and make sure you turned on logging... logs go in ~/.xchatw/xchatlogs [23:44] adante, retricted manager has its own idea on where to put modules. you need to get rid of the restricted manager, remove the .nvidia_installed somewhere in /lib/modules/ ... foo/bar . can't recall precisely. The whole story is that you have to fight against ubuntus restricted manager, which spoils your module to be loaded from the place m-a puts it.

[23:48] ah, i apologize [23:48] Blueacid: shift-pageup should work; also piping the output to less, like so: ps aux | less [23:48] Synaptec I mean. [23:49] augi01: It returned an OK but I'm not sure what else it's supposed to do now [23:49] i've modified my /etc/network/interfaces file per the instructions on help.ubuntu.com [23:49] nickrud - shift-pageup worked a treat, thanks muchly!

[23:50] i;m using a linksys === DarkHack is now known as D[a]rkH[a]ck [23:50] Anyone have any issues with Gutsy since release? After a few hours of working, my wireless network stops working and can't reconnect, I can't run anything with sudo, and opening a terminal window won't work. It worked fine in Feisty, and jnc was positive that its my network, but i can't find anything wrong with it. I've added a root user so I could see if I could log in to see whether it was a pam issue, and had no trouble logging [23:50] FrankH: set it in the router and see if it works [23:51] there doesn't seem to be anything for configuring a static ip [23:51] dpkg didn't even write any modelines to xorg.conf [23:51] augi01: I tried to install using package manager but there is a dependency error of some sort === Mraz is now known as Haz [23:51] lilmissrocket: Are you able to fix the dependency error? [23:51] seanh: do you have libdvdnav4 installed? [23:52] Jimdb -- yeah [23:52] lilmissrocket: If not, you could always try 'sudo apt-get -f install wine' [23:52] let me try playing a movie. i actually haven't tried it under gutsy [23:52] bruenig: Any more ideas? [23:52] augi01: not sure how (has had linux for all of 4 hours.) [23:52] Is there any way to determine more information from Wine when no message is given? e.g. matrix@ubuntu-server:~$ wine 'c:\Games\Empires\Empires_DMW.exe' "matrix@ubuntu-server:~$ " [23:53] MaTrIx-1 wine -v [23:53] :) [23:53] augi01: "wine: [23:53] Depends: libaudio2 but it is not installable" [23:53] wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\-v.exe": Module not found [23:53] lilmissrocket: Hm... [23:53] just as a general warning: the screen and graphic wizard is really unsafe. it will overwrite your config file and if you keep fooling you will lose the original config === generaldarkstar is now known as AndrewEMT [23:53] Is it possible to be able to run a .exe file to install a certain program that I had used when I was a Windows user in Ubuntu? [23:53] wine -v 'c:\Games\Empires\Empires_DMW.exe' [23:54] lilmissrocket: You could try searching the web for the package and then installing it, it might not be available through the ubuntu repositories. [23:54] Question: After 5 minutes in Ubuntu, my fans start running at 100% and never slow down. My computer does feel pretty hot, so maybe they need to be running, but i'm not sure why Ubuntu is heating up my laptop so much. any ideas? [23:54] colchaodemola: wine -v 'c:\Games\Empires\Empires_DMW.exe' "wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\-v.exe": Module not found" [23:54] gluonman: .exe files will not run in ubuntu [23:54] HELLO! .. How do i get the same kernel-source version as the one i'm running?! [23:54] Is there an alternative way to run such programs? [23:54] augi01: I wonder if it's freely available as a deb package somwehere? [23:54] MaTrIx-1: use forward slashes in your path [23:54] gluonman: search for the windows application at appdb.winehq.org , it will give you an idea of how well the application works with wine [23:54] gluonman: yep in windows [23:55] seanh: i can play but w/o sound, heh [23:55] lilmissrocket: It should be if it is a dependent for WINE. [23:55] Well, duh. I know they will run in Windows. But I left that behind for a number of reasons. [23:55] I'll check with the wine thing, then. [23:55] eyeRmonkey: that's a good point... it still seems to be doing the same thing though [23:55] MaTrIx-1 try wine --help and see the verbose option [23:55] I'm just trying to figure out WoW and something else. [23:55] Can an update be "hidden" so we ave the option to never update that "program"? [23:55] Upgrade notes tells me to use update manager. [23:55] I'm running Gutsy with two monitors, nvidia TwinView, and Compiz Fusion. Is there any way to get it to recognize that I have two monitors, rather than one big one stretched across two screens? [23:55] colchaodemola: wine --help only has --version and --help [23:55] is it possible to install windows in a new partition after ubuntu and not lose grub?? [23:55] gluonman: wow runs fine with wine [23:55] or repair grub after?? [23:55] But update manager freezes half way through the upgrade. [23:56] deaddreamer: you will have to restore grub [23:56] !grub | deaddreamer [23:56] deaddreamer: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [23:56] That's what I've heard. [23:56] gluonman: though you probably need to run it with opengl instead of directx [23:56] jodde: it may not "freeze" give it time [23:56] can someone tell me the difference between 'Mark for Removal' and 'Mark for Complete Removal' in Synaptic? does the latter simply also remove config files? [23:56] The website you gave me, does it provide such instructions? [23:56] augi01: Think I found it [23:56] gluonman: search for it at appdb.winehq.org, it links to a howto explaining how to tweak it [23:56] I am trying to disable 'roaming mode' in the gui network manager for my wireless -- but it wont give any option for 'password' such as none, it only gives the standard 'wep,wpa' [23:56] But it does. [23:56] irotas, yes, it's like adding --purge to apt-get remove [23:56] Okay. [23:56] irotas, you got it [23:56] When it loses focus it doesn't repaint. [23:56] seanh: got the sound to work but had to terminate amarok. [23:57] hello there.. can anyone give me some hints how to get started with a lsi logic controller and a defined raid1 with the server edition? [23:57] Do you know how I can see my Yahoo! Messenger and AIM buddies' webcams using Gaim? [23:57] augi01: same again. Dependency error libaudio2. Wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I still have no sound on this computer yet? [23:57] smurf, does the lsi card get detected? [23:57] crdlb, stefg: thanks! [23:57] Jimdb -- I'm getting nothing here. they are giving me errors as if I don't have libdvdcss, but I do [23:57] Hello! Can anyone help me to setup compiz? :) I had it working with one display, but when I activate my second display, i can't start it... Get "Desktop effects could not be enabled" (Ubuntu 7.10 and nvidia gforce 7300) [23:57] hi pipl=) [23:57] smurfslayer, #ubuntu-server ? [23:57] I think I'll just remove and uninstall it. [23:58] MaTrIx-1: use forward slashes in your path [23:58] lilmissrocket: That might be the problem, though I am not sure how you'd go about fixing that problem. [23:58] oops [23:58] Question: After 5 minutes in Ubuntu, my fans start running at 100% and never slow down. My computer does feel pretty hot, so maybe they need to be running, but i'm not sure why Ubuntu is heating up my laptop so much. any ideas? === nazeeh is now known as Kinslayer [23:58] lilmissrocket: www.ubuntuforums.org are a good resource. [23:58] eyeRmonkey - what laptop is it? [23:58] seanh: uninstalled and reinstalled? [23:58] augi01: I haven't installed drivers is all. One of these days I'll have the local linux guy have a look at it [23:58] which is why i still dualboot [23:59] lilmissrocket: Ah, ok. [23:59] Jimdb -- do you think that will help? What should I reinstall? [23:59] seanh: libdvdcss2, and reboot [23:59] smurfslayer, does the lsi card get detected? [23:59] myconid - i don't think so, since the partition manager offers me all the 4 phyical disks instead of the two raid arrays [23:59] eyeRmonkey, acpi doesn't work properly. it can be dangerous to your hardware to let it run over a longer period of time like that [23:59] augi01: thanks very much for your help, got some good ideas [23:59] lilmissrocket: Anytime. [23:59] smurf, have you configured raid in the BIOS? [23:59] yep [23:59] Blueacid: it is an alienware [23:59] stefg - good to know. what can i do about that?
