[00:01] Jimdb -- well I just recently installed libdvdcss2, and I rebooted after that, but no good. One thing is that the docs so I should have libdvdplay0, but I can't find that package [00:01] http://www.linex.org/sources/linex/debian/dists/cl/juegalinex/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 404 Not Found [00:01] shane634: not sure. haven't tried either of those features [00:01] Where do i get the KERNEL-SOURCE for GUTSY GIBBON?

[00:02] gluonman, you can't! [00:02] eyeRmonkey, the only solution taht doesn't involve serious hacking beyond your learning curve atm [00:02] Is there a way to do it in an alternative program? [00:02] no === SirStan|C64 is now known as myconid [00:02] Evanlec, ah ok .. thanks :) [00:02] Where do i get the KERNEL-SOURCE for GUTSY GIBBON? [00:02] CorpusCallosum: clean it [00:02] do i need to spam? [00:02] briantumor: its the standard kernel [00:02] What is the new Linux repository?

[00:04] why is ubuntu so smart and upping wlan0 all the time? [00:04] does wine simulate dx ?? [00:04] CorpusCallosum: might be bios options to control heat. Or your using too heavy a distro perhaps try xubuntu [00:04] where can I decide what will allow me to drag windows (in that menu you can chose between shift, alt and ctrl) anyone know what I am talking about ? [00:04] Mine's 40 degrees C. [00:04] deaddreamer: to some extent.. it isnt perfect.. crossover office does a little better. [00:05] jodde: thanks my fans are nice [00:05] eyeRmonkey, that's not dangerous, but too high IMHO [00:05] hmm [00:05] because I changed something in Desktop Effects that doesnt allow me to drag arround windows anymore... any ideas? [00:05] CorpusCallosum: if its a laptop I suggest getting one of those cooling docks to put under it [00:05] What is the name of the program that is like ooo pro or something, still oss but built ontop of oo.o [00:05] MrPink: do you have the advanced configurator installed?

[00:05] myconid - on that machine you can jumper which raid controller you want to use.. the lsi or an intel ich7... so i jumpered right now back to lsi logic [00:05] myconid I have the ccsm installed [00:05] Sorry, less the 404 error. [00:05] What has it changed to? [00:05] stefg, yeah. it feels hot to the touch compared to windows. sigh. i really don't want to switch to feisty. would a kernel recompile in gutsy be any help? [00:05] myconid: if that is what you mean [00:06] hi guys, im about to *attempt* an upgrade to gutsy, i mae a tgz of my /home but at the end of the output it said "tar:file changed as we read it". Is the file still good or do i need to start over? [00:06] it literally happened at the very last alphabetical item in the dir [00:06] Where is the sources.list file? [00:06] MrPink: Go into ccsm and goto preferences, add a new profile, and reset it to defaults. [00:07] How do I make a wi-fi card I have act as an access point? [00:07] Bam1, /etc/apt [00:07] hi guys - how i can install Automatix2 on ubuntu dapper 6.06 [00:07] !wifi | Meroigo__ [00:07] Meroigo__: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:07] eyeRmonkey, yes, i run a vanilla 2.6.23.1 and it's much better. But given the relatively low number of killer features in gutsy (zero?) running feisty with a well tested gnome might just be less work and more fun [00:07] thanks Pelo! [00:07] MrPink: but make sure move window (under window management) is checked off. [00:07] stefg: also, would using the 64 bit version possibly solve my problem? or no? [00:07] neztit1, don'T , just use the repos [00:07] ok, this really sucks... I am trying to use dpkg reconfig to generate an xorg.conf file, but it doesn't write *any* modelines in the file it generates [00:08] what am I doing wrong??? [00:08] gennui: do you have perms? [00:08] sim [00:08] Oi [00:08] pelo: what u mean man?? [00:08] perms? [00:08] Ola [00:08] NemesisD, why don't you just move your /home folder to a seperate partition, should be safe enough there [00:08] permissions..access to the file.. are you root (or su'd) [00:08] stefg: by vanilla, you mean generic? would i have to do a manual recompile to get a generic kernel? ... not sure what you mean by "well tested gnome". isn't there only one? [00:08] gennui: permission [00:08] eyeRmonkey, no,i don't think that 64bit would make it better... it's a kernel-source/configuration probelm afaicsproble [00:08] ubuntu why do you automagically up my wireless nic? [00:08] Font rendering in openoffice anyone? [00:08] Eu nao falo ingles [00:08] I'm trying to figure out what chat application will allow me to view webcam. Can anyone help me?

[00:08] Pelo, hence why i'm backing up my data [00:08] myconid: or where exactly ? [00:09] Pelo > cannot find anything there I want [00:09] eyeRmonkey, by vanilla i mean taking the source from kernel.org, not from ubuntu [00:09] it writes an xorg.conf, it's just that file is useless because it has no modelines so it goes to failsafe [00:09] hey all, having a bit of an issue with a radeon 9600xt card post-7.10 upgrade not seeming to work with wine (seems to have no direct rendering), have installed driver from restricted drivers - any suggestions? [00:09] NemesisD, if it puts you at ease, feisty to gutsy is the first upgrade that was successfull for me [00:09] HOLY CRAP!!! http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/173978111/article.pl [00:09] my notebook gets incredibly hot. the guys at the office running windows don't have this problem. The fan never comes on. Any way in ubuntu to turn on the fan? (Dell Inspiron 9400) [00:09] Meroigo__, maybe try searching in the forum www.ubuntyuforum.org [00:10] stefg: ah. okay. well. i guess i'll go install fiesty now. i loved how seemless things become. i need to shut down my computer. my fans been running overtime for too long [00:10] JebJoya: put wine to emulate direct instead of hardware [00:10] I want to create a guest account for ssh that has no password, and has access only to /home/guest/* - how do I do this? Firstly it won't let me miss out a password, and secondly I'm not sure how to restrict access [00:10] Pelo, it doesn't, the upgrade borked my laptop, so i just want to make sure i'm being safe here on my (more important) desktop [00:10] Meroigo__, sorry www.ubuntuforums.org [00:10] pelo: thank u m8 [00:10] MrPink: one sec [00:10] NemesisD: Where do i know you from?....

[00:10] SuicideSalmon: edit your password section remove it [00:10] hey, I just got compiz working on my ubuntu, with ati and aiglx on my 2.6.23 kernel on my 64bit ubuntu!! <-- the man [00:10] gerro: would that have changed in the ubuntu upgrade? [00:10] Can I get that with Synaptic? [00:10] eyeRmonkey, buhh I dunno? i come in here pestering people for help every once in a while [00:10] now, how do I get fusion-icon and compiz-settings-manager? [00:10] Pelo: What ATI Cards are those drivers for, do you know ? [00:10] Use add/remove programs. [00:10] gerro: and how would i do that? [00:10] Select all open source. [00:10] JebJoya: wine is not handled by ubuntu, check #winehq [00:11] NemesisD: maybe. i'm hardly ever here. you in #php ever? or on efnet IRC? [00:11] im doing this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=325899 and at the bottom it says I have to run the command echo "enabled: 1" > /proc/acpi/acer/wireless but I get permission denied, also with sudo. any ideas why? [00:11] JebJoya: type winecfg [00:11] MrPink, what ? I don'T think you are talking to the right person [00:11] gerro: they claim it's a driver issue [00:11] gerro: and sent me here :) [00:11] gerro: i did warn them :) [00:11] Pelo: I think you are right ;) [00:11] eyeRmonkey, i have been in #php but not too recently, also sometimes i'm in #math or #physics, the same reason why i'm in here :P [00:11] myconid - dmesg doesn't show anything about lsi logic or raid... but what is really strange: lspci shows the Intel ICH7 raid controller instead of the lsi logic... but on the POST Screen of the server, i could enter the lsi logic raid tool and configure the raid. [00:11] * Pelo is almost always right [00:11] bushwakko: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [00:11] Mrpink: i have a 'move window' optin under window manager. === D[a]rkH[a]ck is now known as DarkHack [00:12] JebJoya: really you should use the appdb on winehq site [00:12] gerro, so in /etc/passwd I change it from guest:x:1001etc to guest::1001etc? [00:12] MrPink: trying to post a screenshot, but my ubuntu wifi isnt cooperating [00:12] SuicideSalmon: yep [00:12] Where is KDE themes located? [00:12] stefg, wouuld it be more work than it's worth to try to compile something from kernel.org to work with gutsy? [00:12] Thanks. I found it.

[00:12] myconid: well it doesnt really matter because I am able to drag arround windows again under my new profile... now I just have to reactivate the effects I want [00:13] gerro: I did, nothing, then went to #winehq, and suggested my video drivers aren't configured so needed to come here [00:13] MrPink, that is for gutsy right [00:13] I'm not looking for one, rather I'd like to know where on my home folder they're stored. :) [00:13] repeat: the Scream and Graphics wizard totally borked my xorg.conf file (and all the backups) anyone know how to regenerate it? [00:13] gerro: (i'm in both btw) [00:13] SuicideSalmon, don'T give the guest user any other permissions [00:13] cafuego, thanks, got it working there. now any idea how to get this working each time the computer boots up? [00:13] MrPink, because that version seems to be 0.5.2 [00:13] Pelo, does this look about right: guest::1001:109:Guest Access,,,,:/home/guest:/bin/bash ? [00:13] bushwakko: yes that is for gutsy [00:14] guys whats the diffirant between dapper 6.06 and ubuntu feisy for example [00:14] Salah: Add echo "enabled: 1" > /proc/acpi/acer/wireless to /etc/rc.local [00:14] SuicideSalmon, I wouldn'T know , sorry [00:14] neztit1: 0.4 [00:14] MrPink, why is it 0.5.2 while the rest of compiz is 0.6.0? [00:14] mrpink: does 75.68.194.248:8080/stan/Screenshot.png work? [00:14] eyeRmonkey, configuring a working kernel for your hardware takes some knowledge and experience. The easy way is installing feisty. the dirty, but rewarding way is to learn hoe to build a kernel. Don't expect success at first try [00:14] No, lies. 0.04 even! [00:14] Can somebody please tell me where to find repositories? [00:14] jebjoya: brb [00:14] ok thanks anyway mate [00:14] cafuego: what u mean?

[00:21] pazsion, reading faq's helps [00:21] !samba [00:21] samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT [00:21] chkin link [00:21] anyone know how to reset the desktop to default? all of my fonts and evertything is huge now [00:22] Is there a better channel for asking about graphics issues? [00:22] SuicideSalmon: btw.. giving someone ssh access to your machine is a huge security risk. [00:22] hey guys, i've just installed mplayer and video seems only to be a fraction of the screen. how can i make it bigger and full screen. Even when I choose full screen, it stays the same size! [00:22] fructose: google for em? check the forums? [00:22] myconid: Channel, I said. I've already tried searching. [00:23] pelo: found that...i can see that one might have to do that for say a removable drive but why would someone have to also do it for locating a file found in the ~ folder? [00:23] myconid, sorry - I'm new to this stuff, but what's the difference between setting up an ftp server, or using filezilla to ssh in? And as for the security, is it not possible to give normal access to /home/guest only, and won't sudo take care of the rest of the commands? [00:23] hey-o [00:23] Nevermind, i've worked it out. Its when I choose X11 (XImage/Shm). So using X11/Xv works, but I get a green screen. Any advice? [00:23] Hello. Could someone tell me how i can disable my onboard video card so that its stop conflivting with my nvidia card which freezes pc every 30 mins or so? [00:24] I am having an issue with my sons Ubuntu Feisty machine. [00:24] Well, I'm back with the same old problems. Still random freezes, sometimes just X, sometimes the Kernel, and I have to use PrntScrn+LeftAlt+RSEIUB to reboot. I've tried disabling CPU Scaling and Dual-core, upgraded then disabled Compiz, and searched and researched the hell out of Google, all to no avail. Anyone have the slightest idea how to diagnose? [00:24] I put in a new video card, now no X [00:24] us AIGLX preinstalled on gutsy [00:24] so myconid, if this thing actually isntalls which if it does im assuming hours later, will it be worth running? [00:24] downix [00:24] if it honestly takes that long to install [00:24] this is fun [00:25] pelo: i had to install the tracker program using synaptic. apparently during my upgrade it didn't install it by default. [00:25] downix: run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [00:25] hi when you change from normal to a large print theme why doesnt it change the fonts/etc back when you change back? thats super annoying [00:25] LTSP problems - can anyone help? [00:26] Is there anything I can do to catch errors as the system freezes? I went through everything in /var/logs, and only saw something related to CPU scaling. [00:26] Shpoo1, gutsy kernel? [00:26] usually if you see an error related to cpu scaling right before your system crashes it means your mb and cpu are incompatble [00:26] can someone tell me how to find a program that I installed from a deb package? its not showing up in the menus. [00:26] is vmware the best recommended vm? over vb and vpc? [00:26] stefg: Yeah, fresh install, not upgrade. [00:27] shpoo is this a self built machine? [00:27] DogWater: yup. :-) [00:27] Shpoo1, the gutsy kernel has issues. you might want to try to build your own or use feisty (-kernel) [00:28] quiestion: Im running ubuntu 7.10, and i got a intel 915gm display card. Im running video test in Cedega and i successful test openGl. but i fail 3d acceleration. Anyone able to help please? [00:28] shpoo1 ensure that the specific stepping of your CPU is supported by your motherboard especially if you're using intel motherboard [00:28] can someone tell me how to find a program that I installed from a deb package? its not showing up in the menus. [00:28] stefg: I was considering reverting to Feisy until a fix was released. [00:28] Hi === Nathaniel is now known as Downix [00:28] Hi everyone - just installed and I'm getting X restarting on me randomly (but only whenever I'm typing, but oddly, not if I'm typing in the terminal) - no seemingly helpful error messages that I can find [00:28] Shpoo1, sounds reasonable [00:28] i'm trying to build an app, but it requires linux-src directory? [00:28] DogWater: Any clue how I could check that? [00:28] what packages do i need? [00:28] Just installed ubuntu on my sister's laptop, I need help with 2 things. [00:29] need to figure out how to get the right driver onto the system now [00:29] briantumor: the kernel source.

But thanks, that's something I haven't checked yet. [00:30] emmajane, i have 2.6.22-14-generic [00:30] Ok, so, no minimize, close, maximize + borders on the windows.

[00:40] myconid: at first I wasn't, then I tried them, now I'm not [00:40] FunnyLookinHat, if the packages are done right they pull all their dependencies, so not necessary to install kde3 before. but i would rather use avirtual machine for that. KDE4 is quite alpha and may break things [00:40] because i have _nothing_else open [00:40] when trying it [00:40] Paul_UK: Maybe maybe not [00:41] Shpoo1: install something that stresses the cpu.. but dont run a gui.. see if it will stay up?

I've messed with it before and it's pretty god-awful... but that just means they need more bug reports : ) [00:41] gordboy: are you experiencing a bug when upgrading? if so, report at http://bugs.ubuntu.com [00:41] stefg, thanks though, that was my suspicion [00:41] IntuitiveNipple i have a friend who claims that because he has windows xp pro he cannot resize the hd and make room for linux I have never heard of such a thing. i wonder why he cant do it. [00:41] Pilgrim: i consider it bad because i used to demo ubuntu for my customers and now I can't impress them with the awesome sound. [00:41] sam1337: then please keep your jokes, so to call them, for yourself [00:41] i got E: bcm43xx-fwcutter: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [00:41] arang2, i think you best explain where you are coming from. why bother have double natting? oh wait, i must explain myself. I use headless vm's as I dont use the GUI with virtualbox lol. [00:41] Does anyone know how to reset the desktop visual options back to their default, i was messing around with the themes/etc and i selected the 'large print' theme and i switched back but it kept the SUPERFONTS and i'd rather just reset it if possible [00:41] FunnyLookinHat, vbox/vmware/qemu are your friends :-) [00:41] is there anyway I can get gutsy to reinstall X and regenerate a working xorg.conf? [00:41] myconid: good idea....does Folding@home have a linux application? lol [00:41] anyone know a good wiki page for configuring the gutsy xorg.conf [00:41] should i try rebooting and seeing if it worked or is that just bad ? [00:41] I'll give that a shot tonight too [00:41] Jimdb: ther was no fusion-icon when I searched in synaptic, but there is a compiz-fusion... [00:41] k..closing tihs window for a bit, bbl. anyone with suggestions plz pm me :) [00:41] Paul_UK: i dont understand u man [00:41] thanks [00:42] Shpoo1: http://users.bigpond.net.au/cpuburn/ << never used it... [00:42] stefg, vmware FTW ! ; ) [00:42] arang2, virtualbox is as secure as vmware [00:42] Where is the data for Places > recent documents stored on Gutsy? [00:42] trying to get AIXGL working with my ATI 9800 pro with dual heads [00:42] LjL: no. i don't think so. i want an explanation. as in right now. and if i don't get one, i'll be telling my students what a pile of CRAP ubuntu is. over to you [00:42] gordboy: i'm not paid to advertize ubuntu, sorry. [00:42] gordboy: Nobody is making you use it, and some how i'm pretty sure your students know how much of a douche you are already [00:43] Paul_UK: sorry man, but i want to solve the Vmware problem, im sure we could argue till kingdom comes about this, im not gonna switch sorry [00:43] lol [00:43] cassandra: it isn't in synaptic. go to google and search for fusion-icon install in gutsy [00:43] arang2, im at a loss why you have an issue with vmware [00:43] is this a serious error? : E: bcm43xx-fwcutter: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [00:43] i am using drapper...how to connect internet with my cellphone N93..?? iam using vodafone and in NZ country!! [00:43] Alright, well now I have a list of more stuff to try, so I'm gonna do that, and swap hardware tonight. But now, the wife is calling: Dinner is ready. myconid, DogWater, thank you very much for the help. [00:43] i am using drapper...how to connect internet with my cellphone N93..?? iam using vodafone and in NZ country!! [00:43] it takes even less time to install! [00:43] Paul_UK: care to restate that? [00:43] I'll let you guys know what happens [00:43] !repeat | worm_screw [00:43] worm_screw: 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 [00:43] duplex printing, aynone...? [00:43] anyone could tell me why using aiglx instead of xgl? [00:43] seriously gord, ubuntu is great if your not a douche [00:43] mr_marvin: my hp4050 duplexes. [00:43] arang2, you install it and then you tell it you want a virtual interface and then you assign the vms to that [00:43] gordboy: sudo apt-get update then attempt? [00:43] DogWater: i didn't see you at debconf. in fact i don't recall seeing you at cern this summer [00:44] ok ty Jimdb I'll do that :) [00:44] gordboy: seriously I'm feeling less inclined to find out the answer to your solution with that attitude [00:44] worm_screw: perhaps this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothDialup [00:44] Paul_UK: my problem with Vmware is that it reports /dev/dsp resource busy under gutsy [00:44] Yeah I was too busy managing over 1100 servers and the network which supports them to go to conferences, my bad. [00:44] if you are a douche, odd problems will randomly pop up on your ubuntu machine [00:44] !offtopic | gordboy, DogWater, thedefender (and ad-hominems are not welcome either) [00:44] gordboy, DogWater, thedefender (and ad-hominems are not welcome either): #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:44] its a built in mechinism [00:44] dds [00:44] my server pool is bigger than your server pool! [00:44] lol [00:45] i have a beowulf cluster of beowulfs. [00:45] gordboy: whats in your sources.list anyway? [00:45] Where is the data for Places > recent documents stored on Gutsy? [00:45] gordboy: ive seen suggestions to do a nice sed job on it, aka substitute feisty for gutsy, then dist-upgrade [00:45] scguy318: i've done over 30 upgrades from feisty to gutsy since thursday. and NONE of them worked as advertised. it reminds me of fedora 7. another great failure in the annals of linux [00:45] repeat: how do I re-generate the install xorg.conf? dpkg reconfigure seems to totally fail at this task??? [00:45] no one knows about upgrading to 7.10 eh/ [00:45] myconid: hp 5940 has no options in oo [00:45] ? [00:45] Yes and Fedora 7 is not to be used for production machines.. [00:46] are you serious? [00:46] gennui: dpkg --reconfigure is only as good as its input eh. [00:46] gordboy: so it seems that right now you don't want *Ubuntu support*, you simply want (as you said) an explanation from Ubuntu management? then this is not the right channel. [00:46] gordboy: worked for me...anyway, you could attempt an alternative CD upgrade [00:46] anyone know a good wiki page for configuring the gutsy xorg.conf [00:46] arang2, so you are wanting to use the guests soundcard? [00:46] hey i want to use my nvidia card, how do i get a 3d game to test this? [00:46] cassandra: try this http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/08/26/compiz-fusion-tray-icon/ [00:46] gordboy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades [00:46] arang2, or your own? [00:46] it seems different then fiesty [00:46] LjL: i hear you [00:46] faqs are still no help i've d/led all that i can and it is supported... [00:46] gennui: /tmp/Xorg-KEM/lib/X11/xorg.conf.eg ? [00:46] quadro 600 [00:47] Please help in installing VMWare Tools onto Gutsy Server. [00:47] Paul_UK: i wanting to use the host soundcard in the guest, its a common problem and there are crappy solutions in the net but they dont work well [00:47] hey, i seem to have a problem configuring my ATi driver post-7.10 upgrade - anyone able to help with that area? (more: "glxinfo|grep direct" gives: "direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)") [00:47] scguy318: thanks. i think i know rather more about the subject of feisty -> gutsy than anyone here. and i'm really annoyed. but i didn't expect any better. so bye. and thanks for the gratuitous insults [00:47] You know everything! [00:47] arang2, well i cant speak for ubuntu, but for virtualbox and centos, what you are wanting works fine. I have centos5 host and windows xp sp2 guest and it works. [00:47] :D [00:47] cafuego: it won't autdetect the screen emmjane: no tmp files anymore [00:48] gennui: http://www.geocities.com/randomnumbergenerator2001/xorg.conf.breezy.txt (it's older, but might be close enough) [00:48] nvidia card installion help wanted:: [00:48] hey ive a strange problem after some time of using beryl and awn everything slows down [00:48] jebjoya did you set links [00:48] gennui: it doesn't need to; just choose simple setup and give it the screen size and max resolution. That should do it. [00:48] VMWare is nice because you dont have to manage it on server, the last time i used Xen (et, al) you had to manage everything on the host node [00:48] (sorry, forgot to identify wirechief_ can go back to pm) [00:48] but i guess that only matters to folks who are running lots of boxen [00:48] * mneptok laughs [00:49] nvidia card installion help wanted:: [00:49] Paul_UK: im sure it does it should work i dont know why it doesnt with WS6 [00:49] anyone know a good wiki page for configuring the gutsy xorg.conf [00:49] anyone know a good wiki page for configuring the gutsy xorg.conf [00:49] cafuego: the install managed to generate a working xorg without any input from me! [00:49] it seems different then fiesty [00:49] "gordboy: i think i know rather more about the subject of feisty -> gutsy than anyone here." <--- guess again, chum. :) [00:49] gennui: just choose simple setup and give it the screen size and max resolution. That should do it. [00:49] Yeah, I know he could've been a little more condescending [00:49] Jimdb: Compiz did it. ^_^ [00:49] he is a douche and he left [00:49] oh wait, maybe not [00:49] cafuego: already tried that, it won't load nv anymore [00:50] nvidia card installion help wanted:: [00:50] thedefender: not really, the System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics does make a slight mess of xorg.conf but in general [00:50] gennui: Oh I see. You robably don't want nv anyway. [00:50] G'day all I need a bit of help :) I have installed 7.10 takes a long time to boot compared to the 6.06i had installed .... when i turn the PC i get nothing but a blank screen until the login box no service loading log like i had on 606 anyone have any ideas .thanks [00:50] arrang2, no idea. sorry cant be of any help. i hope you get a resolution tho. [00:50] So.... [00:50] pazsion: please stop repeating, and just tell us what you want. [00:50] thedefender: the xorg.conf concepts in Feisty remain basically the same [00:50] * cassandra hands Jimdb a cookie of happiness Y^_^Y [00:50] cafuego: yes i very much do [00:50] !ask | pazsion [00:50] pazsion: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [00:50] anyway, unless anyone knows how to reset the 'appearances' preferences screen back to defaults in compiz, im out of here ;-) [00:50] gennui: 'sudo apt-get install linxu-restricted-modules nvidia-glx-new' will give you the accelerated drivers. [00:50] Don't worry about gordboy he's always like that... I think we all know the type :) [00:50] Paul_UK: do u know if it is possible to install Vbox concurrently with Ws6? [00:50] we just need a little more support from ATI and NVIdia [00:51] arang2, you can do it, but not recommended. Check their forums, as from memory there is a post asking about this. [00:51] cafuego: i had a working nvidia xorg.conf but screen&graphics hosed it [00:51] !wireless [00:51] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:51] Hi, I just compiled apache2-2.6 from source, how can I make it so that it starts on boot? [00:51] help! my sound broke [00:51] is it possible to get a false positive from system monitor? It shows processor usage @ nearly 100%... but when I open the list of open programs, none of them are pulling down that much CPU [00:51] To be honest, and not to polish any apples, both of my nvidia cards worked great with the restricted drivers right off the bat [00:51] !boot | PThomas [00:51] PThomas: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [00:51] can someone point me to a proper webpage? [00:51] Paul_UK: how true is that USB is screwed in Vbox [00:51] umm [00:51] gennui: Yes, so recreate it manually, via dpkg-reconfigure. [00:51] haha [00:51] xTheGoat121x: are you showing processes running by all users or just you? [00:51] gennui: it's not that hard. [00:51] well ATI restricted is terrible [00:51] ubotu said bum [00:51] Sorry, I don't know anything about said bum - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:51] thats funny [00:51] i've followed faqs and nvidia card isn't loaded anymore, i've turned off inel onboard and rebooted still deosn't work..or 3d chess doesn't work.. [00:51] no AIGLX support [00:51] cafuego: dpkg-reconfigure doesn't generate a working file [00:52] DogWater, all users... [00:52] arang2, not true. USB guests are able to isolate it from the host. [00:52] when I run any one sound app, it runs but there's no sound output. running any second sound app gives me a 'soundcard error' [00:52] what's the most active channel to learn about public key encryption? [00:52] thedefender: the latest latest has that, but I wouldn't advise installing it [00:52] gennui: Then you're not giving it the right info. [00:52] sorry to be off topic for a minute [00:52] Paul_UK: can i pass USB devices to the guest like webcams printers, scanners and the like? [00:52] cie213: the google channel [00:52] i've followed faqs and nvidia card isn't loaded anymore, i've turned off inel onboard and rebooted still deosn't work..or 3d chess doesn't work.. [00:52] hmmm [00:52] xTheGoat121x: eh, i dont ever use gnome for system administration i'm a shell guy. so i would tell you to open a shell and type sudo top and see what that says [00:52] cie213: #ubuntu-offtopic [00:52] arang2, but you cant really compare WS6 to virtualbox lol [00:52] haha thanks hydrogen really [00:52] why no install [00:52] DogWater: the Fonts tab in the Appearance prefpanel doesn't reset your fonts? [00:52] not yet anyway ;) [00:52] cafuego: which info? [00:52] Paul_UK: care to answer my previous question? [00:52] how do i use this google channel you speak of? [00:52] mneptok: oh i just didnt know if there was a way to just reset it... [00:52] Can VMWareTools be installed on Gutsy server? [00:52] mneptok: all of it. [00:53] arang2, my ipod works, but havent checked my camera yet. [00:53] cafuego: it's a laptop [00:53] and i was wondering why when you change the theme the font doesnt reset [00:53] (07:51:55 PM) pazsion: i've followed faqs and nvidia card isn't loaded anymore, i've turned off inel onboard and rebooted still deosn't work..or 3d chess doesn't work.. [00:53] xTheGoat121x: my system is also running between 99 and 100% usage...almost a standard install and I'm the only user [00:53] kidding kidding [00:53] Paul_UK: isochronous USB connections are possible? [00:53] cafuego: and when i look at the logs, it's failing to load nv [00:53] eido: use top to see is really going on [00:53] DogWater: you'd have to selectively delete GNOME settings files [00:53] gennui: Any reason you don't want to sue `nvidia' instead? [00:54] arang2, it allows me to do what I want. Why not grab a machine and test virtualbox, to see if its for you? [00:54] mneptok ewws. alrighty i suppose i'll just mess with it until i get it the way i want, or if it annoys me enough i'll reformat [00:54] cafuego: nv is the name of the hardware driver [00:54] mneptok: would be rather rad if they had a 'defaults' button though [00:54] DogWater, well I run that command, and it still seems a bit high [00:54] DogWater: and, if you care, htop > top [00:54] arang2, Im not sure what purposes you want it for. So I cant say that it does all, since I dont use all of its features. [00:54] DogWater, for what I'm running, that is [00:54] Paul_UK: i might but im quite tired of reinstalling everything [00:54] gennui: Yes. I know. There is another one, called 'nvidia' which is the one created by nvidia, and which gives you accelerated 3D support. [00:54] http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz lol I don't know if this is a problem or not. but... lol [00:55] mneptok: im old, let me die in peace [00:55] (07:51:55 PM) pazsion: i've followed faqs and nvidia card isn't loaded anymore, i've turned off inel onboard and rebooted still deosn't work..or 3d chess doesn't work.. [00:55] well good luck :) [00:55] xTheGoat121x: what process is using all of your cpu [00:55] gennui: is there any reason you do not want to use the other accelerated driver? [00:55] DogWater: i'm prolly order than you :) [00:55] *older [00:55] jesus [00:55] yes? [00:55] some help please? [00:55] cafuego: no, but that's what the dpkg-reconfigure xorg.conf is trying to do... and it does detect the nvidia [00:55] * cafuego blesses you [00:55] pazsion: what's the question? [00:55] katocalypse, STL represent [00:55] (07:51:55 PM) pazsion: i've followed faqs and nvidia card isn't loaded anymore, i've turned off inel onboard and rebooted still deosn't work..or 3d chess doesn't work.. [00:56] im 28! in this line of work thats way too old :D [00:56] DogWater: the problem with "restore to defaults" is that every distro, and vanilla GNOME itself, will have a different opinion of what that is. [00:56] lol thanks for the blessing =P [00:56] pazsion: loaded like? [00:56] DogWater: i'm 42. [00:56] gennui: That's normally considered a good thing, afaik [00:56] DogWater: crded is the process taking up 80 to 90% of my CPU...locating the top app on SourceForge [00:56] i think i have to reinstall just to get X working again... a warning to all: don't mess with Screen &Graphics wizard, it will hose your xorg.conf file [00:56] LjL: thank you for ur information...:) [00:56] not sure i know what crded is [00:56] * cafuego coughs up a furball [00:56] gennui: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [00:56] i can't see it in hardare info originally it was there...and chess 3d mode still asks for opengl stuff which i've installed.. [00:57] mneptok: it doesn't generate a workign xorg.conf file [00:57] pazsion: i dunno, you have restricted installed? [00:57] ok guys here is my thing [00:57] DogWater, it switches around, but the one that seems to be consistently at the top is dbus-daemon... but even THAT is only eating about 5.5% CPU [00:57] gennui: it should, unless you select non-sane options [00:57] DogWater: it appears to be from the fps alien arena [00:57] automounting flash drives stopped working after upgrading to gutsy, can anyone help me? [00:58] mneptok: yeah, i know but it doesn't... it's like 1996 all over again [00:58] hrmmm okkeeeeee [00:58] which do you think is better for 3D acccelerated dual head support [00:58] try closing that and see if the util goes down :D [00:58] no, since it doesn't detect it.. it has no restriced installs.. and the last time i tried that.. x didn't like it.. [00:58] 7.10 seems to be quite polished...i'm very happy with it [00:58] [00:58] [00:58] [00:58] gennui: cool! we can keep Bush out of the White House!

[01:26] Flice, it's just a setings manager, but install it [01:26] crdlb: I did [01:26] xep_: then just tunnel everything through it, it would be ideal if someone would develop an usable ssl vpn server for linux... [01:26] Detra: paste the build log to pastebin and i'll have a look [01:26] Flice, and run it with "ccsm" and make sure that the Place Windows plugin is checked [01:26] Detra: or better yet give me a link to the same source code you downloaded [01:27] you can use openvpn [01:27] bluedog, this way, i have to tunnel every connection to every server i use ?

[01:29] scguy318 : i don't understand ... coudl you explain ? which tool ? [01:29] whta: nope [01:29] xep_: dynamic forward with the proxy switcher addon to firefox and you are all set [01:29] Flice, well that was my guess :/ [01:29] ty ppls...

[01:29] xep_: whether ssh or PuTTY [01:30] whta, in 6 months :) [01:30] crdlb: is it a workaround, then? [01:30] xep_: add a dynamic forward, point your SOCKS app to that dynamic forward [01:30] scguy318, how ? [01:30] Detra: which one should i download? [01:30] guru, You know ... Im almost willing to pay you money to log in to my computer and set it up .... honestly ... That's how freaked out I am by now ... [01:30] scguy318, i'm sorry, i donnot understand these things... [01:30] Are there any disadvantages in using a 64-bit Ubuntu? [01:30] crdlb: is this a common problem? [01:30] Flice, nah, that should be the default, the Place Windows plugin is responsible for initial placement for all plugins [01:30] xep_: http://www.linode.com/wiki/index.php/SSH_Dynamic_Port_Forwarding [01:30] Yes foug, there is less software for 64 bit natively [01:30] Detra: i'm going to look at the first one, feel free to message me if you want [01:31] scguy318, is it simpler than openvpn ? [01:31] cvance: is there a list of major ones not supported? [01:31] for example flashplayer will only run in a 32 bit browser and win32codecs are also 32bit [01:31] Flice, somehow, it got disabled [01:31] i dont know if a list, but those are two examples that have caused me problems [01:31] crdlb: weird. I don't think I ever installed this program [01:31] !64bit [01:31] AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information. [01:31] My friend just installed ubuntu and when he enabled desktop effects he could automatically select the cube desktop effect. I cannot. We used the same CD also. [01:31] crdlb: probably just another upgrade effect [01:31] Detra: you don't need to pay me, i don't mind helping [01:32] guru, Its the second one I made this with ... the first one gives me 3 diff files and some make files ... but they don't work ...

[01:33] scguy318, you mean, that by setting in my computer connected to wifi hotspot, with only 443, 80 open : [01:33] -o uid= [01:33] Detra: your best bet will be with the first one [01:33] qman: user and group masks. [01:33] ok [01:33] thanks [01:33] mount -o uid=1000 [01:33] for example [01:33] I got that one unpacked too ... [01:33] scguy318, ssh -D 6667 me@mydistantserver [01:33] I assume gid works too? [01:33] Detra: i can't reproduce the same error you are getting though [01:33] does anyone know if there is a "clientless"(just uses a browser) ssl vpn server solution for linux? OpenVPN still requires a client [01:33] qman: Yes. [01:33] scguy318, it will be okay to use irc from my hotspot ? [01:33] yes [01:33] crdlb: ah.. actually, compiz wasn't running. now that I've run it, the problem still exists [01:34] :/ [01:34] When I tried installing gusty the update manager said there was a gnome-themes error, then an ubnutu-desktop error now I cant start ubunut except in recovery mode. Any one got any ideas? [01:34] guru, this is to cry about ... this is a clean installation ... Though not anymore ... upgraded it yesterday ... I dl build-essentials and also gcc and stuff like that ... [01:34] Flice, you can try a different placement mode (click on the place windows icon in ccsm) [01:34] scguy318, ? [01:34] thanks, that worked perfectly [01:34] how long am I supposed to wait for tracker to stop hammering my disk? [01:34] guru, anything I'm missing ? [01:35] xep_: sure [01:35] xep_: your syntax is wrong tho [01:35] hmm [01:35] scguy318, is that so simple ?? [01:35] Detra: if you have a guest account that i can log into i'll see what i can do otherwise it may take me a bit to get to where you are [01:35] xep_: well, your forward is fine [01:35] If I want to run a web server from my computer, but also occasionally use XWindows/whatever to browse the internet and perhaps even Open Office, should I install Server or Desktop? [01:35] ok i have a bunch of proggies listed in my menu from a previous install. [i reused the /home directory] [01:35] guru, you mean ssh ? [01:35] xep_: though you'd be better off selecting a random high port :P [01:35] This is just a kind reminder: I have a question about the bash command that would list all usb devices attached to my machine including their /dev designators and other information (e.g. Vendor ID). I welcome any genuine help. [01:35] bluedog - like VNC? [01:35] scguy318, why did all people tell me i would have to do some openvpn, or some vtun, or some other complicated tools ? [01:35] but ive absolutely no intensions of reinstalling all those apps [01:36] Detra: yes. but hang on a second though [01:36] xep_: don't know, I'm not them [01:36] how can i clean that up? [01:36] guru, ok [01:36] scguy318, my syntax is wrong ? [01:36] xep_: its not [01:36] xep_: basically you point your clients to the SOCKS proxy on 127.0.0.1:the port you specified [01:36] i didn't have the ieee80211-source package installed [01:36] Detra: are you on a 64 bit machine or 32? [01:36] guru, 32 [01:36] mindrape: more like a checkpoint or cisco solution, that lets you tunnel other services on your network, and lets you hairpin out to the internet. [01:36] scguy318, with that solution will i have to change something somewhere in xchat for example ? [01:36] crdlb: nothing changes. no luck [01:36] guru, laptop [01:36] (tell there is a proxy) [01:37] Detra: me building the binary for you won't do much good then [01:37] hair pin out to the internet? [01:37] what in the world are you talking about? [01:37] guru, why's that ? [01:37] Detra: a 64 bit module won't work on a 32 bit machine [01:37] hey guys i just did upgrade to gutsy, my fonts are all different now, kind of ugly. Any ideas how to fix this? [01:37] mindrape: when data goes out the same network interface it came in on [01:37] guru, well would that matter if you did it through ssh on my computer ? [01:38] NAT? [01:38] Detra: no [01:38] scguy318, what is not so good in ssh -D 6667 me@mydistantserver ?? [01:38] hello [01:38] xep_ nothing is wrong [01:38] scguy318, why did you speak about a high random port ? [01:38] mindrape: no not really [01:38] xep_ just my personal preference, your command is fine [01:38] guru, So we can just do that, right ??? It doesn't matter anyways ... there's no personal information and so on on this machine right now ... so no need for trust :P [01:38] !compiz [01:38] 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 === MeatWad1 is now known as CarlFL [01:38] scguy318, i don't understand what can be changed ! === CarlFL is now known as CarlFK [01:39] how do I install additional packages (most importantly fullpage) to texlive? also, pdftex always gives me errors on documents that compile fine on windows [01:39] scguy318, if i change 6667, i won't reroute the irc port!

[02:05] Can not print to Laserjet 1100 in gutsy. Was able to add printer, but jobs sent to it just remain in queue. Also have an attached canon 850 which wa automatically recognized by gutsy and which prints fine. Laserjet worked w/ 7.04 Live CD, but doesn't work w/ installed 7.10. Any thoughts? [02:06] when they do work, they're remarkably simple [02:06] Does XChat have any way to filter certain messages? Like joins, parts etc. Getting overwhelmed by the spam... [02:06] is there any way to block an update? [02:06] Where can i get the gstreamer mp3 plugin ?? [02:06] qman, the quadro should work with nvidia-glx-new in gutsy [02:06] !mp3 [02:06] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [02:06] qman: I think those are the generic drivers that are in linux but it takes a little longer to get the drivers since dev have to figure out the cards [02:06] and my compiz got screwed up [02:06] quick question, how can I copy this directory "Joomla_1.0.10-Stable-Full_Package" to /var/www [02:07] sko0zy: just try to play an MP3, and use both updates [02:07] dystopianray, the driver was found and installed, but the display refused to work with it [02:07] sko0zy - in the add\remove tab oin applications [02:07] reya276: cp "joomla..." /var/www/ [02:07] dystopianray, downloading the drivers from nvidia and compiling them did work, however [02:07] reya276, sudo cp -r "Joomla_1.0.10-Stable-Full_Package" /var/www [02:07] so if i d/l envy files and some how install them.. reboot and...x goes blah... [02:07] m4r71x: thanks [02:07] !envy | pazsion_ [02:07] pazsion_: 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! [02:08] tvkid , I just run that program to test my memory . [02:08] reya276: np [02:08] hey guys [02:08] wow [02:08] qman: yeah I had to use the restricted drivers to get an X600 to work the open source drivers were not capable yet...though the open source are much better when they figure them out [02:08] have a question [02:08] im installing ubuntu with xinerama [02:08] cool [02:08] and it asks me for fb0 (framebuffer) [02:08] um.. qudro 600 hopefully [02:08] Im having a couple of ubuntus [02:09] eido, the restricted driver package didn't work on this system, but compiling them using nvidia's download did work [02:09] rest are i810 onboard .. [02:09] but cant see in /dev/fb0 [02:09] was still fairly simple, just had to install build-essential and run the script [02:09] how can I make fb devices appear? [02:09] i hope this is the right place to ask this... i've got a few questions about hardware... i have fairly good hardware firewalls in my modem and my router (separate pieces of equipment), and I have two questions about these... 1) is there any problem with running two hardware firewalls at the same time, and 2) how do i configure one or both so that i can use irc? (currently both are off, could not get irc to work otherwise) [02:09] contant updates are no problem all have cd-r [02:09] anyone: when I try t installl gnome-themes_2.20 I get an error that says: gtk-update-icon-cache: symbol lookup error: /user/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_impl [02:10] frozenflame22: about 1.- theres no problem till ytou can manage both of them [02:10] to me... wine sucks... any alternatives? [02:10] my graphics card supports stupidly high resolutions(like 2000x1700 or something) and my monitor can do 1280x1024, yet when i try and change my resolution above 1024*768 i get no picture, whats wrong? [02:10] have you tried it yeat? running two HW FW [02:10] frozenflame22: 2.- open port 6667 tcp por irc [02:10] frozenflame22, multiple firewalls can work, but it's just generally more trouble than it's worth [02:10] frozenflame22, you need to make exceptions in each firewall for every program/port set you need [02:11] m4r71x: I keep getting an error [02:11] hi [02:11] AnAlien8me: sometimes I had to edit xorg.conf manually for it to display higher resolutions [02:11] then how to you aplly 7 layerrs lol [02:11] * coreymanshack wonders ab out WINE alternatives [02:11] any one from iowa???? [02:11] !ot | dgdghgdyhfgr [02:11] dgdghgdyhfgr: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [02:11] dgdghgdyhfgr: Try in #ubuntu-iowa [02:11] AnAlien8me: just make a backup of it before playing around [02:11] ok [02:11] sweet! [02:11] every time I try to do this: root@reya276-desktop:/home/reya276/Downloads# cp joomla /var/www [02:12] The network manager in buntu with the VPN support is so intuitive....they need to work on that. [02:12] does putty work with ubuntu or is there a similar program out there ? [02:12] I get this error: cp: omitting directory `joomla' [02:12] robertfisk: ssh [02:12] eido, the correct resolutions for my monitor are listed on the change resolution program, but when i test one, it goes gray and i dont get a picture [02:12] reya276, cp -r [02:12] robertfisk: Putty works [02:12] anyone have an opinion or idea regarding what's the most 'ubuntu-friendly' pda? [02:12] ah . good . thanks [02:12] so has anyone figured out/solved the problem with nvidia cards and gutsy only loading in 800x600? [02:12] reya276: use -r when copying directories [02:12] reya276, cp -r [02:12] namely something that can sync with evolution, pref. w/ bluetooth, etc etc [02:12] Does anyone else hate the network manager? [02:13] whats up with the missing packages in gutsy? [02:13] LifeNomad: I love it. [02:13] so how do i get my nvidia card working, and then think about getting future updates easier for everyone... [02:13] Odd-rationale: Have you tried the VPN? [02:13] perlfan, what missing packages? [02:13] nobody thinks using *-a* when copying directories is an even better idea? ;) [02:13] perlfan: you'll have to be a lot more specific than that. [02:13] LifeNomad, I hate that it doesn't work with my school's retarded wifi scheme [02:13] qman: How so? [02:13] LifeNomad: yes, and my number one reason is that it's VPN config section is unavailable when not using 'roaming mode' [02:13] LjL, only if you want to preserve permissions [02:13] LjL: depends what you're using it for really... [02:13] they use the cisco PEAP protocol without certificates on WEP [02:13] attackdecay: I TOTALLY agree! [02:13] networkmanager can't manage that [02:14] dystopianray: I search for things like qemu or cvs in synaptic and they're not listed [02:14] do I have to add a third party src? [02:14] hmm, I am glad mine only uses ciso VPN [02:14] is there a good program to convert wma to mp3, that's faster than one track at a time using audacity? [02:14] I've never been able to get linux online on that stupid wifi network [02:14] perlfan, no they should be there, check your enabled repos [02:14] It took me like 35 mins to get on mine today.... [02:14] networkman works great for me until i end up at my folks place for a few weeks and have to plug straight into their router and use a static ip... meaning roaming mode 'off' [02:14] k [02:14] AnAlien8me: the horizontal and vertical synch was incorrectly detected on one of my installs I had to keep guessing them ...supposidly you can damage the monitor if its a lcd if you enter it incorrectly but Dell didn't have any documentation available [02:14] hey, my taskbar is showing stuff from all the desktops.. how do i make it so that it only shows the applications running on that specific desktop? [02:14] qman, I've used networkmanager successfully with PEAP + WPA2 [02:14] and now no vpn... unless i use the wrt54gs router... and once i do that, because they live in bumfuck montana, i get total shit upload [02:14] so has anyone figured out/solved the problem with nvidia cards and gutsy only loading in 800x600? [02:14] attackdecay: Do you use wifi? [02:14] perlfan: cvs is in the repositories (in main) as is qemu, but it is in universe, so if you haven't enabled that, you wont see it. [02:15] so i've been just f'ing around switching back and forth for a week now [02:15] abbot: keep in mind that sort of conversation always loses some [much] quality. but try soundconverter [02:15] !language | attackdecay [02:15] attackdecay: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. [02:15] dystopianray, my school's network is not WPA [02:15] oops [02:15] sorry [02:15] dystopianray, it's WEP [02:15] won't happen again [02:15] But you have wifi? [02:15] dystopianray, and it won't do PEAP + WEP [02:15] Why are you "plugging in" [02:15] LifeNomad: i was.. but i've upgraded to gutsy and need to recompile madwifi (macbook c2d) [02:15] LjL. thanks. it's not for me and i'm sure this guy isn't going to care. his music is crappy anyway. haha. [02:15] dystopianray: where do I do that exactly? [02:15] attackdecay: Oh macbook...ahh I see [02:16] attackdecay: But you can "manually configure" your wifi and take it off roaming [02:16] also, has NetworkManager fixed the issue with not working on ra0 cards? [02:16] I haven't had time to upgrade my system with one of those in it [02:16] qman: I am not sure of that [02:16] jebus... east US dude from iowa [02:16] LifeNomad: and madwifi still has a bug that is really a bother with my wifi shipset [02:16] chipset [02:16] sudo reboot [02:16] I am just glad my netgrear Wg511T works [02:16] Flannel: where do I enable the repos? [02:17] perlfan, you can check your repos in /etc/apt/sources.list, i think, i'm not at home === cafuego_ is now known as cafuego [02:17] attackdecay: Yea macs have some troubles [02:17] LifeNomad: roaming mode works great for me, for everything except my parents' random static ip dsl [02:17] dystopianray: k - thanks [02:17] perlfan: Software Properties === varun is now known as varun0 [02:17] someone please help me =P my taskbar is showing stuff from all the desktops.. how do i make it so that it only shows the applications running on that specific desktop? [02:17] =) [02:17] Flannel: will check [02:17] perlfan: system > Admin > software properties, or software sources (depending on your version) [02:17] I even tried using wpasupplicant manually to connect to my school's wifi, never managed to get it working [02:17] attackdecay: Well even on my linksys router....with no encryption and DHCP....I cannot connect until I go off of roaming.... [02:17] um, can u make them indipendant...-i'm soo greeen [02:17] Flannel: I am on xubuntu [02:18] I dont know why [02:18] LifeNomad: for the most part, however, ubuntu on my macbook is working wonderfully, integrating with an all M$ office no problems, vpn, rdp, exchange, smb over vpn, all god [02:18] hi, i'm tring to cross compile libcaca (an ascii art library) for DOS using dgjpp, the problem is that i can't compile gcc with djgpp, ehever i do make i get (the error lines):make[2]: *** [getpwd.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/darsel/djgpp/gcc/i386-pc-msdosdjgpp/libiberty' make[1]: *** [all-target-libiberty] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/darsel/djgpp/gcc' make: *** [all] Error 2 [02:18] It is an open wifi connection....and I can't be on roaming?!?

[02:18] How do you disable the system beep. I did it before, but know I forgot. :( [02:18] LiMaO: Then select 'Show windows from current workspace' [02:18] to any ubuntu developer: awesome job...i can't seem to break my X! [02:18] samba over vpn? [02:18] hi guys.. everyone usng cmpiz + xgl + ati, check this --> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=887&num=1 , if you havent done so already ;) [02:18] no matter what I do, X ALWAYS comes up...very impressive [02:18] ah . found it [02:19] all good [02:19] LifeNomad: now that is strange... i had great luck, before coming to my parents to visit, with roaming mode and wpa2 security, dhcp, and it also remembered my preferred network even when it wasn't the strongest signal available [02:19] cafuego: thank you so much =) [02:19] lol why disable beep? [02:19] robertfisk: yes [02:19] anyone?? [02:19] ?!?! bulletproof x seems more like bulleted x on the liveCD [02:19] LifeNomad: yeah, windows file sharing with a m$ vpn [02:19] directly in nautilus [02:19] they wont pull up anything on 23 of my machines [02:19] d0ll4: to bad it doesn't work for me! [02:19] what's the keyboard shortcut for "open location" again? :) [02:19] guru, [02:19] attackdecay: Yea, I can connect to other peoples wifi in this building, except my own....have to go roaming [02:19] why is it m$ but not o$ X ?

You can just edit your sources.list, gksu mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list [02:20] nvidia problems!! [02:20] LifeNomad: to be quite honest, my networkmanger troubles, save the 'no vpn while off roaming' thing, all worked themselves out without too much fuss.. at this point i can't honestly remember exactly what i did to get things smooth [02:20] *cough cough* [02:20] Can anyone tell me why I have to go roaming to connect to unencrypted, open wifi?

[02:21] attackdecay: hmm, mine are still that way....oh well [02:21] i cant figure out how to instal vmware tools [02:21] perlfan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine More or less. That page should be "via text editor" not necessarily via command line [02:21] Dumb question: I'm a complete n00b. Should I even screw around with this text installer? Or should I give up on the Linux thing? [02:21] Is there an ubuntu networking IRC channel? [02:21] gah.. nvidia problems.. install 5500..quadro 600? [02:22] you shouldn't have a text installer.. [02:22] Dan_L: text installer is super easy. Its just a GUI made up of text instead of graphics [02:22] Dan_L, the alternate install CD is fairly simple [02:22] Dan_L: go for it, we can coach you along [02:22] Dan_L, it's all menu based [02:22] Dan_L, it just doesn't have X running [02:22] Dan_L: It asks the same questions, you just don't use a mouse, you use a keyboard to select things. [02:22] pazsion_, didn't you get it to work ? [02:22] !ubota [02:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about ubota - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:22] !ubotu [02:22] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [02:22] !emerald [02:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about emerald - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:23] lol detra, was warneed againstst it lol [02:23] Darn, there needs to be a buntu networking channel [02:23] LifeNomad: i tell ya tho, i think they'll whip network manager into shape in the near future, for what it is, its pretty good [02:23] pazsion_, why ? [02:23] im having a hard time getting a terminal session to appear transparent on my desktop. im going by this website>>http://ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-a-transparent-terminal-session-as-your-desktop-background.html [02:23] i have no idea [02:23] agreed LifeNomad [02:23] attackdecay: I will agree, its alright, just needs some work [02:23] m1ke_l: you could wait another month and check if the next ati/amd rls is fixing your prob.. as you have waited 13 months for aiglx another one wouldnt hurt i think ;) [02:23] Hmmmm. Ok. But does it do the exact same thing? The reason I ask: I had planned out this vista/ubuntu 7.10 dual boot idea based on the premise that a repartition would not be required - as the live CD does it by itself. Not like I'm opposed to doing a partition, I'm just making sure I'm not going to get in...ahem....over my head [02:23] :) [02:23] it was like a flood... [02:23] lol [02:23] LifeNomad: there are some things that are way better, imho, than the way other 'popular' os's work [02:23] pazsion_, I found out that it worked for me ... [02:24] !botsnack [02:24] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [02:24] pazsion_, I don't think there's anything to worry about ... [02:24] Dan_L: Both the liveCD and the alternate CD would require a repartition to install. Unless you're talking about the wubi thing, which I'm personally unfamiliar with [02:24] well how do i install it if i get it d/led? [02:24] attackdecay: Oh yea, Linux Mint's old network manager sucked so bad, but with the new one...it still needs work. [02:24] can we start a PM detra.. eyes are tired.. [02:24] Flannel, Interesting. There seem to be many different interpretations on that one. Weird. Ok. [02:25] can someone help me with this guide? http://ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-a-transparent-terminal-session-as-your-desktop-background.html [02:25] who maintains the bot's factoids? [02:25] gluttony: what problems do you have with it? [02:25] gluttony: have you tried another guide? [02:25] dresal, it just doesnt work. nothing happens [02:26] gluttony: your issue isn't ubuntu determinant, it's terminal or DE determinant [02:26] Dan_L: Different interpretations on what? Whether a repartition is required to install? It will be with any official installation method. Wubi is unofficial, but will have you ubuntu live inside a windows partition, from what I understand. [02:26] is emerald in the gutsy repos? [02:26] gluttony: go to #gnome [02:26] where can i get dsl distro from? [02:26] varun0: yes [02:26] lm_t7: That's offtopic for an Ubuntu channel... [02:26] lm_t7: www.distrowatch.com [02:26] it is but someone from here told me to get it for my laptop [02:26] Hello! Is there any possibilty to write script/application that automatically clicks button when window opens? I need to automatize one task, but it's impossible - window pop up and asks for confirmation (and there are no command line options to prevent this). It would be great if it would be possible to automatically fill in some text fields, but it's optional - it's the confirmation dialog which stops everything.. [02:26] so i thought it would be good to ask where to get it from [02:27] trialanderror: Which task are you looking to automate? [02:27] to all UO players - anyone successfully compiled Iris2? :) [02:27] Is there a way to fast user switch in Xubuntu 7.10? [02:28] brokensambot: Click the logout button and select "Switch User" [02:28] dystopianray: Flannel: edited the file, and all worked once I RTFM and realized I had to "reload" in Synaptic [02:28] pazsion_, go for it [02:28] so thanks [02:28] it's a custom software, and when i'm importing file it asks for confirmation.. i will never get the source code (it's been custom-developed for us).. [02:28] Alternatively, add the "Switch user" applet to the panel. [02:28] perlfan: Oh, synaptic has software sources built in anyway. Didn't realise thats what xubuntu used [02:28] dresal, yeah, no one says anything in that room, so, um thanks? [02:29] I am looking at setting up a home backup system for a multi OS, multi server,desktop, laptop environment. Automatic backups from all systems to an additional box. Not sure where to start on that .... anyone have an idea where to point me ? Guides ? [02:29] yeah I'm looking for something better then clicking switch user, once the user you switch to logs out, it dumps you back to the original desktop, not very secure [02:29] CharonX: ubuntu server [02:29] CharonX: can you use a command line? [02:30] bmk789, Yes, im very comfortal with ubuntu. I am trying to figure something out that is automatic and could fully restore my server if something happens === iobelix is now known as iobelisk [02:30] How can I disable a low disk space warning? I have a truecrypt volume taking up most of that partition. [02:30] how do I open nautarius as root? [02:30] now heres a question that relates to ubuntu, i can't seem to understand how to install the vmware tools... [02:30] CharonX: do you want the server to get the files from the machines or just have a share open where the machines can backup to? === MekApelsin is now known as blippe [02:31] Detra: i don't know about nautarious, but "gksudo" can be used to run GUI programs as root, if *really* needed - careful though. [02:31] I would like the machines to handle synchronizing the backups to the backup server. Initially with a full backup and then incrementally thereafter and a full backup every so often [02:32] !backup > CharonX (CharonX, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:32] could keep do that? [02:32] LjL, Well my problem is ... I downloaded linux-source through apt-get and got it as a bz2 file ... I typed bzip2 -d linux-source and got a tar file ... but the tar command tells me that its not a tar file ... what am I doing wrong ? [02:32] LjL: gksudo is buggier than dos [02:32] or clonezilla, or how's it called? [02:32] anyone know anything about vmware + gibbon? [02:32] CharonX: you can install ubuntu server on the server then install samba or nfs or ssh to let the clients access it [02:32] Is it possible to, i don't know, move mouse cursor or simulate keyboard event somehow from a shell script or using/writing some software? [02:33] @ CharonX sorry :) [02:33] hello [02:33] BrianG: you around? [02:33] heyguys [02:33] Detra: why do you need to install the kernel from source? that's not something new users should attempt. [02:33] how can I enable framebuffer in ubuntu? [02:33] I installed gutsy today [02:33] Houray! [02:33] detra... pms don't work i need to register.. [02:33] can someon eplease give me a good site where i can find good ubuntu backgrounds like the africa terra one or africa water? [02:33] it seems to be installed tho [02:33] I have noticed only one bug [02:33] * CrazyPerson is downloading a ubuntu distrib right now [02:33] LjL, I'm trying to install my wireless and it requires linux-source ... [02:33] i installed gutsy today on vmware and i want to install the vmware tools but its not working [02:34] Detra: link to the howto you're following, please? [02:34] LjL, guru [02:34] LjL, but he doesn't answer anymore ... [02:34] !themes > Sal (Sal, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:34] The options menu in the gdmgreeter will not appear, and freezes the gdmgreeter [02:34] thanks [02:34] pazsion_, then register ? [02:34] Hi, I'm trying to updat from feisty to gutsy using the update manager followng the documented process. First it asks for 700+ MiB of free space on /, so I free that space and restart the process, jus to find it gets to the same point and now asks for 1.3 GiB of free space :) [02:34] anyone know why my windows open in the top right? it does this on all distros, in both gnome and xfce... any ideas? [02:34] Should I post this in the forums, or can we handle it here? [02:35] anyone got a working howto for kiba-dock? [02:35] lol [02:35] Detra: well, if all you need to do is compile a kernel *module* of some kind, then install module-assistant and use that [02:35] workin on it.. [02:35] doin like 5 things at once [02:35] bmk789, I am interested in the file synchronization specifically. So modified files are updated, new files are added and deleted files are removed.... much like subversion only with my entire server ... [02:36] how can i force my network card to 10 mbps? [02:36] has anyone had better luck with anything other than mplayer-plugin for firefox? [02:36] !rsync | CharonX [02:36] Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:36] bmk789, thanks [02:36] can anyone help me with this monitor problem? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3612547 [02:36] LjL, Can I install my wireless usb internet from that too ? [02:36] ferpadro: drom "man ifconfig": media type Set the physical port or medium type to be used by the device. Not all devices can change this setting, and those that can vary in what values they support. Typical values for type are 10base2 (thin Ethernet), 10baseT (twisted-pair 10Mbps Ethernet), AUI (external transceiver) and so on. [02:36] Crush`: I'm using "media player connectivity" plugin with some success [02:36] Is anyone other than me having difficulty booting 2.6.22-14 ? [02:36] Ok. I just freed up 30 gigs of space [02:37] even if you have a guess [02:37] Detra, i can't tell you for sure. but i think you *don't* need to recompile the kernel. [02:37] Question: Is there an "EasyUbuntu" or Automatix for Gutsy yet? [02:37] or where would I start? [02:37] !wifi > Detra (Detra, see the private message from Ubotu) | see if there are instructions for your card here [02:37] CharonX: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/net/rsync im looking for a guide, just a sec [02:37] !automatix | jrattner1 [02:37] jrattner1: Automatix2 is a 3rd-party product attempting to automate installation of additional software. When it fails and breaks systems, we don't provide support for it. A technical analysis from a Debian/Ubuntu developer can be found at http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html (See also: /msg ubotu worksforme) [02:37] cramm: where might i find more information about this? [02:37] jrattner1: what do you want to do with it? [02:37] jrattner1: why would such tools be needed? gutsy can install the restricted stuff at a mouseclick. [02:37] d0ll4, installing w32 codecs and such [02:37] LjL, I found the driver for my wireless in there but it failed ... [02:37] medibuntu? [02:38] brb, this version of xchat needs an upgrade [02:38] d0ll4, ? [02:38] !medibuntu > jrattner1 (jrattner1, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:38] LjL, thank you [02:38] CharonX: http://justinsomnia.org/2007/02/how-to-regularly-backup-windows-xp-to-ubuntu-using-rsync/ [02:38] so has anyone here built/installed fglrx 8.42 yet? [02:38] tools like those would be needed because some people just arent happy if their systems are not *this* close to being hosed. [02:38] oooook envy installed.. registerign seems like a pain in the ass if i'm gonna have to do a re-install any how [02:38] where would i start in diagnosing a monitor problem [02:38] LjL: thanks, but im not sure i understood what u said. My problem is that i cant get connected "directly" to the internet, coz i need to force it to 10 mbps [02:38] has anyone had issues with toolbars not loading on boot up [02:38] Question: Is there a replacement package for mail-notification that includes SSL support? [02:38] test [02:38] Anyone care to field the gdmgreeter issue, or should I post it on the forums? [02:38] LjL: i tried ethtool and mii-tool but none of these worked [02:38] codeing becomes tedious [02:38] LjL, It said ignoring this package. maybe you need to add something to sources.list, maybe the contrib and non-free archives. [02:38] jrattner1: deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free [02:38] I'm having a problem with ubuntu and found the bug report. It's labeled as "Fix Released" Towards the bottom I found: [02:38] gnome-mount (0.6-1ubuntu4) gutsy; urgency=low [02:38] * debian/patches/ubuntu-default-mount-options.patch: Use "usefree" VFAT [02:38] mount option by default, to avoid very long blocking of statfs() calls on [02:38] VFAT.
