I'm running ubuntu feisty. it's installed on two 250GB HD's via lvm and raid 0. Today I installed a third drive and installed gutsy to it from the alternate CD. I've done this before (though not with gutsy) and thought I would be prompted to add the new boot point to my existing grub menu. however, that did not happen. Now my system only boots to the new drive, and even when I remove it I [00:05] get an error in grub telling me it can't find the menu. How do I configure the system to boot to the original boot point? [00:06] scguy318: i will try that...i'll get back to you. thanks =) [00:06] anyone help me? my entire system is just really laggy since ive upgrade to gutsy. i move a window and my video on the other side starts getting choppy [00:06] this is the intro of the page By default Ubuntu will use the open source 'ati' or 'radeon' driver for cards that manufactured by ATI.

[00:11] jotil: maybe a better question would be "how do I change the MBR from one drive to anther?" I took great pains to not select the root part to be bootable when I installed gutsy, and yet it behaves as though the it's looking to the third drive for the mbr. [00:11] Poul|Raider: have you tried disabling the apps set to load in your session one at a time to see if one of them is causing a problem? [00:11] scguy318: Hold on [00:11] <_jz> for people having freezes with ati + compiz there is a temp solution [00:12] Sitherae: you may benefit from asking in #winehq [00:12] yes PS_ [00:12] <_jz> installing feisty's xserver-xorg-video-ati package will do it [00:12] j_c: i told you, via the grub shell.

[00:24] guys, i upgraded yesterday from fesity to gutsy, still cant get compiz to work, and my font kind of suck, as i know there is no way to downgrade to feisty. I have a lot of stuff already installed and setup on the machine, so i dont wot to loose all that. I plan to backup whole / and than install back feisty, now my question is the system going to be ok if i restore whole / backup from gutsy on fei [00:24] Sitherae: 0.9.47 [00:24] Sitherae: releases are about every two weeks [00:24] scguy318: Do you happen to know what is better.. Cedega or wine? [00:24] Sitherae: Wine [00:24] bmk789: im not a coder someone gave it to me and it worked I could test it and bring the image back and try this fix that way and if it works I will change it [00:24] wine [00:24] danny3793, Don't ask me why but I have this problem with my ISP and this has worked for one other person also even though it makes no sense... try using opendns [00:24] hey, does anyone know how to get a realtek 8151 based wireless card to work in gutsy? [00:24] Sitherae: i guess you could try purging your ~/.wine, reinstall, make sure not to install any DX libraries if it asks [00:25] chr0n1c: write a program that will stream all /dev/dsp output as httd stream or audio stream and then play it from your xp box using winamp or relaplayer [00:25] CCB0x45: if the native drivers feil miserably, use ndiswrapper [00:25] chetnick, if you restored whole /, you would in essence be back to gutsy, you'll probably just want to backup and restore /home and changes you made in /etc [00:25] apprently it worked in fiesty [00:25] jotil: or you could fiddle with sound server [00:25] hi, i tried it. retunrs no wireless extensions for both [00:25] got a weird problem, the opposite of the usual - a couple of drives aren't detected or auto-mounted by ubuntu if they're plugged in when the computer starts. they can be manually mounted but they won't automount unless they're unplugged and replugged. any ideas? [00:25] astro76: thats what i tought i just wanted to make sure [00:25] scguy, I ran ndis and it says hardware present and installed [00:25] anyone have experience with Ubuntu Studio? [00:25] scguy318: you may [00:25] CCB0x45: you have to modprobe it and blacklist the native drivers [00:25] but do you still use network manager after that? [00:25] CCB0x45: yes [00:26] oh I have to modprobe it and black list the others [00:26] and it should work? [00:26] How do I force Gutsy to detect swap partition so that gdesklet sidecandy ram works? [00:26] adminn: im thinking he meant to put /dev/sda3 or something because i dont believe /dev/ext* is used for anything [00:26] CCB0x45: yes, if it mentions an alternative driver, blacklist it [00:26] CCB0x45: *ndiswrapper -l [00:26] Im having major problems with wifi drivers in Ubuntu Studio 7.10. plain vanilla ubuntu works great from fresh install. atheros based wifi pci card not being detected at all in studio [00:26] CCB0x45: then you'll have to modprobe ndiswrapper and add it to /etc/modules [00:26] CCB0x45: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [00:26] i tried install drivers to atheros a5006 by ndiswrapper and nothing [00:26] scguy: ok, ill try that when I get home [00:27] bmk879: I made it what you mean he meant :/ hehe see what I added [00:27] leopoldo: have you modprobbed ndiswrapper and blacklisted the native drivers?

[01:14] Jordan_U, deb uses dpkg for installing try just reisntalling from synaptic [01:14] Luigi: here is the output http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3624243&postcount=2 [01:14] Pelo: amarok wont recognize it, and i have gtkpod installer, i coppied the music over it using that and it shows up in gtkpod, but it says no music on the ipod when i try to use it [01:14] PovAddict, dd if=/dev/crom of=file.iso [01:14] Problem: My system appears to hang while setting up md (RAID) during boot.

[01:28] Pici: there's something wrong with the package manager [01:28] Thanks Pici :) [01:28] astro76: Samba? would that mean I could take my ext3 HDD and plug it into a Windows machine?

[01:29] Pici: I've tried doing it the regular way too but that hangs before the download too [01:29] Chriswaterguy, oh no, you did say usb drive, in that case you will want to use fat32 [01:29] Pici: I'll keep asking around [01:29] astro76 & JimmyDee: cool, thanks!

[01:31] Jordan_U: and `dpkg -l dpkg`? [01:31] hey guys, I can't upgrade to gutsy - it always hangs when checking package manager! [01:32] anyone use mail2web exchange? [01:32] gravemin1, why noy?

[01:33] eologolo, oh you fixed it [01:33] JimmyDee: Gnuget: I've been trying to use the gui tool and the alternate cd. What's the manual way? [01:33] Jordan_U: did you create an apt preferences file manually for pinning? [01:33] have fun guys cya :) [01:33] gravemin1, :O [01:33] im using debian lenny now. i am going to install ubuntu 7.10. i guess you guys are doing a good job [01:33] I continue learning tomarrow [01:33] wastrel: just lemme reboot it again [01:33] Does anyone know how I can install the new version of the GIMP (2.4) on Fiesty? [01:33] eologolo, not sure, you could search on bugs.ubuntu.com and file one if you don't find anything [01:33] gravemin1, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [01:34] gravemin1, replace all feisty with gutsy [01:34] gravemin1, sudo apt-get update [01:34] JimmyDee: ah. and this is perfectly legit? [01:34] gravemin1, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:34] eologolo, searching ubuntuforums.org is also a good idea [01:34] JimmyDee: afaik the only supported way to upgrade between releases is with the update manager [01:34] JimmyDee: won't leave me with a broken system? [01:34] yes I know this wastrel his is broken [01:35] * AnAlien8me yells in triumph!! [01:35] yipeeeeeee [01:35] !upgrade [01:35] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [01:35] tell me that wont work and I'll kiss your tookus [01:35] lol ok [01:35] hmm, has anyone had problems installing ubuntu? booting into live cd gives me nautilus program errors and when i click on the install icon it gives me ubiquitus program error [01:35] astro76, thnx 4 the help [01:36] JimmyDee➔ what if he has non-offical package that cause problems? :) i wouldnt go claiming things just yet [01:36] JimmyDee: should I uncomment everything in sources.list? [01:36] wastrel: you said /etc/iftab? i dont seem to have that file [01:36] !works for me [01:36] Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. 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. [01:37] when I try to boot from the LiveCD, it drops to initramfs shell and says "ata5.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40). then it says "ata5.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)" ata5 does not exist on my system so why is it looking for this? [01:37] Toma: is it possible to find out what package is the problem? [01:37] text based bittorrent? [01:37] Does anyone know where I could go for help with a fontconfig problem? [01:37] !fonts | dr_spork [01:37] dr_spork: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer [01:37] dark_valkyrian: i thought it might be the prob because the mac address of your network cards can be stored there, you moved the drive so you have different network cards [01:37] gravemin1➔ trying to do anything with apt-get will tell you whats broken. to fix it, its uually a case of running "sudo apt-get -f install" to fix things [01:37] hey [01:38] hwilde, I think it's ata and 5.00, ata is the hard drive (ide) or optical drive interface [01:38] !fonts [01:38] I have a ndiswrapper question I did ndiswrapper -m but its not loading on login [01:38] wastrel: so what can i do? unplug the nics and plug them again? [01:38] astro76, what does this mean. it should still boot to the livecd [01:38] why i dont want "vant Window Navigator" and "Kiba dock" in Ubuntu Package Manager when i searcheD? [01:38] Toma: ok, apt-get runs smoothly, so I guess there's nothing wrong with packages [01:38] how can i access or fix my xp boot on the ubuntu live cd? [01:38] id really appreciate it if anybody could help me [01:38] gravemin1➔ can you copy and paste the problem to pastebin? [01:38] KingArthur: what do you mean fix xp boot? [01:38] hwilde, not sure but it's an error that's preventing booting [01:39] KingArthur-: u need windows cd to get ur mbr back [01:39] crap [01:39] astro76, since there is not a single way to describe a bug... i tried to find same or similar and went nuts... [01:39] O that yea [01:39] hi [01:39] join channel #ubuntu-cn [01:39] theres no way i can do it in ubuntu? [01:39] !grub | KingArthur- [01:39] KingArthur-: 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 [01:39] Toma: it's not in the terminal, so no [01:39] I have a ndiswrapper question I did ndiswrapper -m but its not loading on login [01:39] dark_valkyrian: do you see them in lspci? are they active in the BIOS? what kernel modules support them? maybe you just need to load the proper drivers [01:39] Question: Has anyone located a mail-notification package with SSL support yet? [01:39] Does anyone know where I should go for help configuring the XML of fontconfig so that it turns on anti-aliasing for two fonts with problems at certain sizes? [01:39] I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, and im wondering if I can get it to do something it used to in XP. BeforE I could hold middle click and scroll by moving up and down on the touchpad [01:39] KingArthur-➔ you can mount your windows xp drive, but that wont help anything [01:39] Toma: I run the update manager or the alternate cd way, and the gui tool hangs near the very beginning [01:40] KingArthur-, I believe the super grub disk can restore windows mbr... http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ [01:40] Anyone here familiar with mdadm/linuxraid? I just converted over my raid1s to raid10s and now boot takes forever. However, upon doing a rescue boot, I see the arrays are still syncing...could that be it? Are they trying to force themselves to sync completely before finishing boot? [01:40] I checked in mouse settings but it was kind of sparce [01:40] thank you astro76 [01:40] jrattner1: i use thunderbird/claws-mail plugins [01:40] wastrel: yeah i can see them both with lspci [01:40] blackflare2: you need to install the mouseemu package === Riotblade is now known as Riot|AFK [01:40] wastrel, whats that? [01:40] thanks [01:40] its really annoying because i deleted ubuntu and now no boot up screen comes up for xp [01:40] !away > Riot|AFK (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [01:40] Hi all, I've upgraded to Gutsy from Feisty and I can no longer mount my usb drives - they don't even show up in /dev anymore.

Do you have any more ideas? [01:41] Does anyone have Team Fortress 2 running with Wine? [01:41] wastrel, and it works like mail-notification? [01:41] yeah thats what i was thinking psykosis lol [01:41] it only takes up 10 gigs anyways [01:41] Sitherae➔ i wish :) [01:41] I have a ndiswrapper question I did ndiswrapper -m but its not loading on login [01:41] Yuck! Not Microsoft! [01:41] jrattner1: in the notification area? yes [01:41] unicycle, 15 yards back, punt [01:41] gravemin1: thanks, I'll try that now [01:41] jrattner1: do you use thunderbird or claws-mail? [01:42] Wgg: wait [01:42] wastrel, I use thunderbird [01:42] Wgg: let me find the website [01:42] well id use ubuntu but its game performance is seriously lacking [01:42] Toma: I supposed you are getting the same problem as me.. Closes at the the loading screen? [01:42] KingArthur-, you said you deleted Ubuntu, I assumed you wanted to keep it that way [01:42] yeah that one is hrm [01:42] thunderbird! [01:42] KingArthur: i did the same thing when i first got my laptop [01:42] wastrel, how do i get it in the tray? [01:42] gravemin1: ok [01:42] JimmyDee, nice. [01:42] anyone get very slow boot-up after selecting ubuntu in grub? sits there for 5 minutes for me... [01:42] KingArthur-, you need to fix your partitions. set the windows partition as active and bootable. you might have to fix mbr as well. [01:42] unicycle, kidding [01:42] im sure most people who use linux dont even game [01:42] Sitherae➔ no, i dont own TF2 yet :( have you checked out the TF2 wine page on appdb? [01:42] JimmyDee, of course. [01:42] JimmyDee, I was totally typing your idea in the Terminal, though. [01:42] Toma: Nope sure haven't.

I had the same problem, just passing along the info [01:43] unicycle, oh ati driver [01:43] wastrel, ? [01:43] i have installed AWN in ubuntu Gutsy and it is pushing my windows and wont let them be in full screen? anyone else have this problem/know how to fix it? [01:44] ubuntu runs my internet and files faster [01:44] JimmyDee, I installed the new ATI driver via the GUI installer, enabled it in the restricted manager, and it gives me a black window with anything 3D [01:44] so it might be worth it [01:44] drew: i think it tries to configure your wireless and give you IP and all that before boot. and if you have security it can't unlock the keyring [01:44] jrattner1: i don't have ubuntu here, or i could check. you have to download the plugin but i don't know where, it's not in the repos afaik [01:44] quit: "not sure why I'm here" [01:44] I installed ubuntu-desktop to server edition of ubuntu now how can start the ubuntu-desktop? [01:44] wastrel, ok....thanks [01:44] ok, that didn't work [01:44] Sitherae➔ http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9207 [01:44] JimmyDee, I have an ATI Radeon X1600 512MB AGP, by the way. [01:44] god, im a nerd. i saw the partial headline "outlook improves as fire..." and i automatically thougfht "what do microsoft and mozilla have in common?" [01:44] So I'm going to assume that no one knows anything about fontconfig and antialiasing? [01:44] but it's really good [01:45] dr_spork: more specifically? [01:45] Toma: Ty [01:45] guys, could someone give me a quick refresher on purging a package? [01:45] freeman163, that's great. [01:45] Sitherae➔ np. [01:45] thingy. [01:45] heh. darn california forest fires. [01:45] gtk needs an overhaul [01:45] looks so ugly [01:45] jrattner1: hah found it http://moztraybiff.mozdev.org/releases.html [01:45] I installed ubuntu-desktop to server edition of ubuntu now how can start the ubuntu-desktop? [01:45] JimmyDee: sudo apt-get remove --purge package OR aptitude purge package [01:45] JimmyDee➔ apt-get remove --purge package [01:45] stoodleysnow, thingy, thats a technical term [01:45] crimsun, I'm looking to turn on anti-aliasing for two fonts that have it automatically disabled between sizes 8-11 for some reason. [01:45] JimmyDee, any ideas? [01:45] gtk2 is purty you want ugly use gtk1 [01:45] ubuntus xchat is also way better than the windows version [01:45] i wonder why that is [01:45] JimmyDee, apt-get remove --purge [01:45] lots more features [01:45] JimmyDee it removes config files and packages [01:45] so it is O_O [01:46] wastrel: how do I check which I have installed [01:46] unicycle, sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-fglrx [01:46] JimmyDee, then what? [01:46] I have an (Intel Core 2 Duo @1.8 GHz per core), and I have it running the i386 version of Ubuntu, and was wondering what 64-bit options are available. [01:46] you have both [01:46] unicycle, then goto restricted-manager and enable it [01:46] what's the best bet for a password manager that can synchronise it's database with a windows mobile device? [01:46] I have restricted manager enabled. [01:46] unicycle, sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-fglrx [01:46] unicycle, then goto restricted-manager and enable it [01:46] wastrel, thanks ill give it a go [01:46] Luigi➔ how much ram do you have? [01:46] wastrel: r u there? [01:46] Luigi, u can use the 64-bit version of ubuntu [01:46] Etherael: Keypass [01:46] alright, trying it now [01:46] Toma- 1G [01:46] OK, will try. [01:46] If you plug in 2 usb storage devices, shoudl they both be recognized by ubuntu? [01:46] I run Ubuntu 64bit on my 2.13 GHz Core 2 Duo no prob [01:46] JimmyDee ,I installed ubuntu-desktop to server edition of ubuntu now how can start the ubuntu-desktop? [01:47] does anyone know if the new ati drivers will work is my Radeon Xpress 200 or know of a list where i can find out? [01:47] Luigi➔ and are you going to be alot of encoding in video formats? [01:47] GenNMX: http://keepassx.sourceforge.net that one? [01:47] Rabiddog, yes [01:47] on my* [01:47] dark_valkyrian: yeah did you find the drivers you need? [01:47] ty [01:47] Toma- viewing or encoding? [01:47] JimmyDee: sorry, could you post those things again? I already changed the sources.list [01:47] Luigi➔ encoding [01:47] JimmyDee, couldn't find xserver-fglrx package. [01:47] unicycle, crap what is that package called [01:47] does anyone know where i should go for games /problems loading games? [01:47] dr_spork: which two? [01:47] when I boot into recovery mode, it stalls on ata5, which is not connected to my motherboard. "ata5.01: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask 0x40" "ata5.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)" "ata5.00: disabled" "ata5: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5secs" [01:48] JimmyDee, I dunno. [01:48] i have no way to copy the drivers to the server [01:48] kylecasey, linuxgamers.net ? [01:48] JimmyDee, by the way, what does that do? [01:48] JimmyDee ,I installed ubuntu-desktop to server edition of ubuntu now how can start the ubuntu-desktop? [01:48] Toma- if you mean editing the occasional video, I plan on that, but if you mean more than one every like 2 months, then no. [01:48] deneme_, server is a kernel variant, ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage [01:48] ee, this is too confusing for 1:47 am:-/ nighty night. [01:48] wastrel: i have no way to copy the drivers to the server [01:48] kylecasey: you'll brobably have the best luck contacting the developers [01:48] deneme_, sudo gdm [01:48] crimsun, AR PL SimHeiSun between 8-11, and Kochi Gothic between 8-11 [01:48] Luigi➔ ahh well theres no need to run 64bit. [01:48] JimmyDee, is it xserver-xorg? [01:48] hey, anyone know why after i installed the new FGLRX driver libmesa is still trying to do the directrendering [01:48] how do I check usb speed on a port that a usb storage is mounted on? [01:48] Toma-, but there's also no real reason not to run it [01:48] JimmyDee: sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade? [01:48] JimmyDee, but my harddisk now full [01:48] tomake sure its working in usb 2.0 mode [01:49] drive is working but can't figure out why opernsource is still doing this [01:49] Luigi, there's no reason not to run it in my opinion [01:49] dark_valkyrian: you need to figure out what kernel module supports the hardware you're using. then load the module [01:49] evanlec and gravemind i checked around before and most forums didnt have any answers [01:49] Evanlec➔ true. its alot easier simply going with the -386 flow tho :) [01:49] I have a ndiswrapper question I did ndiswrapper -m but its not loading on login [01:49] What does this mean on boot: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/a241068a-... does not exist. Dropping to a shell! [01:49] so i was wondering if there is a chatroom [01:49] wastrel: i see, just googling? [01:49] gravemind, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [01:49] dr_spork: have you forcibly enabled it manually? [01:49] hwilde when do you get that? [01:49] i can't mount other harddisk to [01:49] JimmyDee: thanks! [01:49] JimmyDee, is the server you' [01:49] kylecasey, huh.... [01:49] does anyone knows me a mario-like game? [01:49] you [01:49] sorry.... [01:49] wastrel: once i find them i load the modules with modprobe right? [01:49] unicycle, no [01:49] dark_valkyrian: there's probably a better way but yeah :] [01:49] Wolf23, www.happypenguin.org [01:49] wolf_: have you tried supertux? [01:49] yes modprobe but that doesn't last between boot [01:49] Toma-, yea, and thats why 64-bit is still lagging behind because everyone has that attitude about it, but its really quite fine these days [01:49] JimmyDee, ok. [01:50] ween i386 and x86-64 Ubuntu? [01:50] dr_spork: cf. /etc/fonts/conf.d/20-unhint-small-vera.conf to get an idea of the stanzas you need to base your "enable" on [01:50] JimmyDee, so no more ideas? [01:50] crimsun, I've tried changing every number in the fontconfig files I can think to change, but nothing's working like it did in Fiesty, and I can't figure out why [01:50] drabiddog thanks [01:50] SUERTUX Rokz [01:50] you'll want to add them to /etc/modules to load them on boot dark_valkyrian [01:50] Woops [01:50] d4rkmonkey, during boot from hd in recovery mode (and normal mode). it says check root= bootarg. I guess I have to replace the uuid with /dev something [01:50] unicycle, one sec [01:50] wolf_: Supertux. Could not be more of a mario clone sudo aptitude install supertux [01:50] hey guys, how well is ubuntu 7.10 with flash player, java, ect? [01:50] thanks [01:50] kylecasey: there might be an irc channel, but go to the developer's website and look for their email [01:50] ir0nfusion, its fine [01:50] Is there any noticeable difference between x86-64 and i386 Ubuntu? [01:50] kylecasey, what are tu talking about or asking? [01:50] wolf_: Seriously, instead of goombas there are snowballs and instead of Mario you're a penguin [01:50] ironfusion: java ok, flash,.... ok [01:50] wastrel: does that alos apply for ndiswrapper? [01:50] wastrel: cool thanks a lot for your help :D [01:50] dr_spork: are you sure it's not the lcdfilter? [01:50] lol:P sound fun [01:51] Luigi, stick with 32 bit, 64 bit drivers on both WINDOWS and linux are not fully developed [01:51] hey, anyone know why after i installed the new FGLRX driver libmesa is still trying to do the directrendering [01:51] well rabiddog i have hl2 which used to work on ubuntu and i just downloaded regnum online [01:51] dr_spork: i.e., /etc/fonts/conf.d/53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf [01:51] FluxD: i've never worked with ndiswrapper, no idea [01:51] Luigi, there's about a 5% performance improvement overall, and you'll get larger improvements depending on software [01:51] hwilde can you access your hard drive at all? I'm not 100% sure what tht error is... [01:51] and neither work as of right now [01:51] JimmyDee, there is another way to start ubuntu-desktop [01:51] ? [01:51] Evanlec➔ no, its lagging because theres no software that really utilises it. mplayer is the only one iirc. also, you only get a boost if you have >4gb of ram [01:51] crimsun, it could be, does that generally affect asian fonts between 8-11pts? [01:51] d4rkmonkey, how can I test from initramfs... there are limited commands here [01:51] JimmyDee, ok. [01:51] Evanlec : Thanks [01:51] Luigi: no. I'm using AMD64 for the first time and although the speed seems a little better in places, it isn't so noticeable. There is no reason not to run 64 though right now. Don't believe those scary people who tell you you can't get software. I haven't found a program yet I can't run. [01:51] Rabiddog, thats not true, 64-bit drivers on linux work fine [01:51] deneme_, perhaps sudo startx [01:51] kylecasey, oh for those games [01:51] deneme_, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [01:51] yeah [01:51] JimmyDee, thanks for all your help, btw. [01:51] unicycle, one sec [01:51] Evanlec: I started when ubuntu 6 was out and it wasnt so good, I have been with kde based pclinuxos for months and now I am fed up with it, kde hates my hp pavilion dv6449us's hardware [01:51] I have a ndiswrapper question I did ndiswrapper -m but its not loading automatically [01:51] Toma-, thats incorrect, there's a lot of 64bit software [01:51] wine doesnt work in amd64 tho [01:51] and locks me up sometimes [01:51] zippy2: liah! [01:51] Evanlec, JAVA and flash , two major internet compoents are still not ready [01:52] it does? [01:52] thanks astro76 and JimmyDee [01:52] it told me it doesnt [01:52] unicycle, its sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx [01:52] and this new version of ubuntu looks great. [01:52] dr_spork: I don't know offhand; try moving that file somewhere besides /etc/fonts/conf.d and forcibly restarting your display manager. [01:52] Rabiddog, actually its just java now, flash is all set [01:52] zippy2: when did you check? there's been a repo out for a while now [01:52] Evanlec➔ still, you need more than 4 gb or ram to make use of it [01:52] I have Gutsy, and I don't see many differences, except for the wallpapers ( which I love the dark one that could look like cracked leather or desert ground! ). What _is_ different? [01:52] hwilde I'm sorry, I actually ahve no idea... isn't there a help command that displays all the other commands or something like that? If so, I would suggest looking for something like ls and just seeing what you could find... [01:52] Evanlec, lmao, I still haven't gotten flash working on my linux box [01:52] d4rkmonkey, it suggests cat /proc/cmdline and cat /proc/devices [01:52] does anyone know if the new ati drivers just released support the xpress 200 card? [01:52] crimsun, I'll give that a try, thanks [01:52] eboyjr: new versions of stuff [01:52] Rabiddog, I've tried everything [01:52] wastrel, thats a weak alternative but I appreciate the suggestion [01:52] JimmyDee, ok, will try. [01:52] Toma-, not true, it only means that 32-bit cant utilize more than 4gb [01:52] eboyjr: network-manager is better [01:52] join #ubuntu-it [01:53] weak! heh that's what i use. [01:53] Toma-, but there are many other differences fundamentally [01:53] * Toma- gives up and walks off [01:53] * Rabiddog is dead set against 64 bit as a stable platform for a nother year [01:53] shadylookin, yes however I'd recommend waiting for the next release of fglrx if you're going to attempt to upgrade [01:53] perhaps i don't know the true joy of whatever you are used to ;] [01:53] there are a lot of issues with the current version [01:53] deneme_, did you get there? [01:53] rabiddog: why? I use it it's fine [01:53] hwilde may I ask why you're booting into recovery mode? I have no idea how to help right now, so I'm just wondering if I could be anymore helpful.. I'm not an expert or anything... [01:53] d4rkmonkey, because it doesn't boot in normal mode duh :) [01:53] gravemind, Haha, I don't think so... When I shut down Ubuntu, it gives off an error about NetworkManager... I will pastebin it [01:53] * Evanlec dislikes Rabiddog 's attitude because it only adds to the delay of 64bit adoption [01:53] !pastebin >me [01:53] JimmyDee, ok, now how do I enable it? [01:53] gravemind, its too much effort to get everything working and not even cedega or crossover work with it [01:54] eboyjr: lol ok [01:54] hwilde lol, any specific problems while booting into normal mode? [01:54] unicycle, system? [01:54] Evanlec, not a chance [01:54] gravemind: Hi again, I followed the instructions for removing evms and I still don't see my usb drives in /dev They were /dev/sdb and /dev/sbc under feisty, could it be they're under a different name? How can I know whether or not they are being detected? (they are not mounting automatically, not showing in the desktop or in mtab) [01:54] rabiddog: just don't use cedega or crossover, their not free [01:54] how do i remove a sym link? [01:54] not a chance of what? [01:54] It is enabled in the restricted manager thingie, JimmyDee. [01:54] system>administration>restricted managre [01:54] gylrdfokker: with rm [01:54] Wgg: you might also need to remove mdadm [01:54] gylrdfokker, same as a file [01:54] d4rkmonkey, yeah it cannot find that uuid same error: ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/a241068a-... does not exist. Dropping to a shell! [01:54] gravemind, so just cause u doesn't use it doesn't mean it don't need to work [01:54] disable and re enable it [01:54] gravemind: Ok, I'll try that, thanks [01:54] why does grub reference UUIDs anyways ?? [01:54] is there a way to customize the appearance of xterm? I've tried creating an .Xresources file, but it doesn't change anything [01:54] Rabiddog, actually it was virtually no effort to get everything working for me... [01:54] JimmyDee, it is enabled in Restricted Driver Manager. [01:54] I have a ndiswrapper question I did ndiswrapper -m but its not loading automatically [01:55] Evanlec, not for the average windows user [01:55] Hello room. What's the easiest way to setup a web server for local web development? I only need PHP and SQL support, no Ruby or anything special. [01:55] unicycle, disable and reenable it [01:55] Is there a known problem with udev after upgrading to 7.10? [01:55] how do I check usb speed on a port that a usb storage is mounted on? [01:55] JimmyDee, Restart in between? [01:55] hwilde no idea what to do... Maybe boot off of a live CD and see what you can do from there instead of using recovery mode? [01:55] traiani: im not sure where the symlink is located, how can i find it? [01:55] Rabiddog: that's cedega and crossover's problem. if you use them, then at least you have a good reason for not using 64. but it is perfectly stable [01:55] unicycle, shouldnt need to, its not windows [01:55] Rabiddog, any 64-bit incompatibility can be solved by simply running 32-bit software, its backward compatible [01:55] JimmyDee, also, will it use the latest driver? [01:55] 64bit os's can run 32bit aps anyway, right? [01:55] traiani: usbfs is disabled by default in 7.10 [01:55] d4rkmonkey, when I try to boot from the LiveCD, it drops to initramfs shell and says "ata5.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40). then it says "ata5.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)" ata5 does not exist on my system so why is it looking for this? [01:55] Shpoo1, install ubuntu server and there's an option to install a LAMP setup [01:55] unicycle, this should be true [01:55] Dyus, correct [01:56] gylrdfokker: wait, what? You want to delete a symlink that you don't know the location of? [01:56] gravemind, theres a bunch of 32 bit software in linux not yet ported to 64 bit afaik [01:56] ok, will try, JimmyDee. [01:56] I had a program using /dev/dsp for audio and it crashed. Now it says /dev/dsp is in use. How do I fix this w/o restart? Note I already "kill"ed the program... [01:56] Is it possible to boot from serial ata ? [01:56] hwilde, of course [01:56] wastrel: would that cause my sysload to stay above 3.0 and all kinds of other problems after logging in? [01:56] rabiddog: most opensource software is for both now [01:56] JimmyDee, it requires restart. Will return. [01:56] astro76: so I can just apt-get ubuntu server from the repos, right? [01:56] Rabiddog, yes but that 32-bit software can be run on 64-bit ubuntu [01:56] unicycle, rock on [01:56] Rabiddog, in 32-bit mode.. [01:56] Shpoo1, no you are already running ubuntu desktop? [01:56] Evanlec, not easily for a windows user [01:56] hwilde I think so... I'm starting to get confused now... [01:56] yeah [01:56] traiani: that i doubt. couldn't say 100% tho [01:56] Gutsy overwrites my resolv.conf file after I add my nameservers and both routers ip's it resets it to a single router and 1 nameserver and I have to manually add them in to get internet again. how do I keep the settings? [01:56] !lamp | Shpoo1 [01:56] Shpoo1: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [01:57] traiani: i guess i was already in the same folder i do know what folder its in, just not the proper code to remove it [01:57] FluxD can you get it running manually? [01:57] mrksht: yup [01:57] astro76: thanks, you've been a big help. [01:57] for a small issue lol [01:57] can anyone help me setup wireless on my core2duo 2nd gen macbook? [01:57] you've all been fun, I'm going to see a real girl in the real world [01:58] Has anyone configured the display on an Inspiron 1420n in Gutsy? [01:58] mrksht: the alias said wlan0 even though mine is eth1 I even changed that but still no luck [01:58] Gutsy overwrites my resolv.conf file after I add my nameservers and both routers ip's it resets it to a single router and 1 nameserver and I have to manually add them in to get internet again. how do I keep the settings? [01:58] I don't know what's going on. My system was working great until I updated to 7.10. Now my sysload stays above 3 with no apps running, gnome-panel doesn't start up and my dmesg is getting filled constantly with messages like: "device-mapper: table: 254:2: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed" [01:58] Hey all. I upgraded to Gutsy a few days ago and my sound volume is suddenly extremely low -- to the point that I can hardly hear it. All volume controls are maxed out. Any ideas? [01:59] hovinen: did u do a fresh install? [01:59] gylrdfokker: describe exactly what you mean using example file names/paths [01:59] I had a program using /dev/dsp for audio and it crashed. Now it says /dev/dsp is in use. How do I fix this w/o restart? Note I already "kill"ed the program... [01:59] jojoman02, No, an upgrade from Feisty [01:59] hi [01:59] anyone have personal screenshots of their ubuntu 7.10? [01:59] Why is it looking for ata3 when that device does not exist??? "ata3.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40)" [01:59] I want to go to ubuntu, and want to see different features. [02:00] anyone can tell me how to disable the splash image when nautilus loads ? [02:00] hovinen: instead of going insane trying to fix it i would do a fresh install, it might just solve ur problem [02:00] does anyone here know how to mount an SFS partition? i need it for write access also .. i can not specify what it is and get readaccess [02:00] hwilde, again it's not the device, it's the interface [02:00] jojoman02, That's really not an option in my case, I'm afraid. [02:00] this may seem like a stupid question, but /etc/fstab should be 644 right? [02:00] ir0nfusion: burn and boot from a liveCD. That way you can try parts yourself without installing it [02:00] I am doing that [02:00] gravemind: Ok, I looked back and when I first attempted to remove evms apt-get told me that it's not installed, so not removed. Same thing goes with mdadm. Sorry I didn't mention that the first time around. So, still no usb drives, evms and mdadm not installed. [02:00] hi guys.. is it possible to run winxp on top of ubuntu using wine or cedega? [02:00] astronut, yes [02:00] astronut: mine is [02:00] crimsun, moving the monospace-lcd-filter didn't seem to affect anything [02:00] traiani: looks like i got it, the link is not there anymore [02:01] xoss: better to use vmware imho [02:01] astro76, what do you mean interface [02:01] hello. i'm having issues with compiz. when i have metacity up and running, video plays fine. however, when i get compiz going, the effects and everything work, but when i try to play video, it crashes [02:01] Wgg: and udevd is running at 100%? [02:01] any help would be really appreciated [02:01] * astronut is a debian user, trying to debug a ubuntu system [02:01] xoss, you can run windows xp apps using wine or cedega, but to run windows itself, i would use virtualbox or vmware [02:01] xoss: no because wine (or cedega) is a virtual machine, they are more like emulators (not really) [02:01] but traiani is this version have an easy way to install flash, adobe, and java? [02:01] gravemind: not sure how to check for that [02:01] dr_spork: interesting. Well, that's the extent of my glancing knowledge of it. [02:01] xoss: not a virtual machine i meant [02:01] hwilde, you might try googling the error and also on ubuntuforums.org [02:01] Wgg: run "top" [02:01] JimmyDee, back. [02:02] Is there any good documentation on ALSA that I can consult about this? [02:02] traiani: ok, but it is possible right? i have some office applications that need xp to run that's why.. [02:02] ir0nfusion: don't know. possibly not, but it may come with some of that [02:02] gravemind: also, if it matters, I can only find /etc/init.d/udev, not udevd [02:02] I did what you said. Games now appear, but the framerate is extremely choppy. [02:02] xoss: under vmware you'll pretty much be able to install anything except 3d accelerated games [02:02] JimmyDee, I'd guess less than 1 fps. [02:02] When I try to upgrade the package dpkg I get the error "Package dpkg is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: coreutils manpages-de dselect dpkg-dev" [02:02] gravemind: Ok, I have a process list, how do I look for udevd? [02:02] astro76, been there, done that. there are bug posts related with no solutions. it recognizes my HD because it goes to grub, but then it fails... [02:02] when i upgraded to Gutsy, the inspiron 1420n could not recognize the display and consigned me to low graphics mode. [02:02] Wgg: i'm having the same problem ... my udevd is out of control [02:02] since upgrading to 7.10 [02:03] Hmm, not mine, my cpu seems fine [02:03] Wgg: for me, there was a program called udevd running at 100%. If you don't see udevd near the top of the list, then it's not a problem [02:03] but I can't find my usb drives [02:03] it would be nice to get some graphics bling but i need to configure the display manually. [02:03] ok [02:03] thanks [02:03] coulamac, What GPU ? [02:03] do you have to set up swap space? [02:03] hey, i want folders in different colors, so i can change colors of the folders [02:03] any tips would be appreciated. [02:03] when I do a top my udevd is smoking and sysload > 3, but when I kill it everything becomes normal [02:03] anyone get a kernel panic when they tried to upgrade to gutsy stating could not connect to vfs? [02:03] traiani: uninstall emvs and mdadm if you have them installed [02:03] My networking is not working right, anything that uses it (FireFox, Synaptic, etc) take forever to even start downloading a file or downloading a website... === Jared is now known as KI4IKL|Laptop [02:03] gravemind: fairly new to ubuntu, how do you uninstall apps? [02:04] traiani: system>administration>synaptic [02:04] apt-get remove or apt-get remove --purge (to clear the config files) [02:04] or synaptic [02:04] danny3793, Try using openDNS [02:04] /wrists... I cant get TF2 to work :( [02:04] wastrel: thanks. prefer your cmd line way [02:04] Jordan_U: can i get it through synaptic? Im using Gutsy [02:05] danny3793, It's actually a DNS service http://opendns.org [02:05] when you create a launcher does it have an extension? [02:05] I have a weird problem, VNC (doesn't matter which server I use) gives me an X for a cursor and a gray dottet background. Nothing else, just that. How can I fix this? Video/xorg works on the machine (Im sure of this, if I plug a monitor in everything shows up fine). [02:05] hey, every time I start this computer, i go into safe graphics mode [02:05] Is it possible to mount an existing winXP-installation as virtual machine? [02:05] navesrevart, What GPU? [02:05] wastrel: removing mdadm but didn't have emvs [02:05] hello [02:05] nvidia [02:05] b4n4n3, if you use VMware (only thing I know that allows this so far for Linux). [02:05] navesrevart, Did you install the nvidia drivers through restricted manager? [02:05] yeah... [02:06] after I do that.. [02:06] I can't start ubuntu at all [02:06] I'm on 64bit [02:06] hey guys I have an hp pavilion dv6000 do I need to do the noapci command to install 7.10? [02:06] GeForce 8600 [02:06] Jordan_U: my networking worked perfect in 7.04, and when i try to download Flashplugin-nonfree it tells me to insert the LiveCD... [02:06] it's a GeForce 8600GT M [02:06] navesrevart: what are you doing? [02:06] danny3793, Remove the CD from your sources.list [02:06] danny3793, remove the cdrom entry from your sources.list file.

[02:07] danny3793: easiest way is system>administration>synaptic>repositories, and unchecking the cd box somewhere in there [02:07] compiz* [02:07] ok, will do that now, thanks :P [02:07] !anyone | who_ [02:07] who_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."

[02:18] tyler_2, what are you trying to do specifically [02:18] any help would be awesome [02:18] traiani: summarize if you could :) I hope I can help [02:18] thanks guys, i'll have a look at it [02:18] When I shut down NEW GUTSY, I get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42023/ I also noticed a spelling mistake in the error [02:18] forward mysql port to an ssh session [02:18] gravemind: do you know any player plugin for firefox that can show WMVs AND a control bar? [02:18] r19, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [02:18] hi [02:18] gravemind, looks like i have it ... how do i fix it ? [02:19] hi [02:19] ok thx [02:19] gravemind: i don't care if it's mplayer [02:19] change my hd of cpu [02:19] <3 mplayer [02:19] hello ?anybody got a sec? [02:19] mmmblark: none that work for me. I've tried a lot [02:19] now ubuntu not run in new pc? [02:19] when i click to upload photos on ebay i get a list instead of thumbnails how can i fix that? [02:19] vlc plugin might work [02:19] help me please [02:19] hello, I`m trying to use skype. But my microphone doesn`t work. And when I make a call test the voice of the woman is not good. How can I do? I can listen mp3 and videos without problems [02:19] other thing is any other good Media center for ubuntu NOT LISA and Myth? [02:19] Nocivo: what's up? [02:20] Nocivo, Is English your first language? [02:20] is there any way to see configuration options for firefox plugins? (not extensions) [02:20] tyler_2, grab putty (sudo apt-get install putty), enter the server address/port, on the left menu, under SSH go to tunnels. type in the source port (port locally where you want to connect to), then remote IP:port, then click Add. [02:20] gravemind: had a lovely FF setup, upgraded to GG and now can't get into Gnome. Usually white screen after entering user/pass but sometimes I get at least the desktop (never gnome-panel, etc.). Sysload remains > 3 all the time, udevd is highest in 'top' output and dmesg is getting thousands of lines about device-mapper: ... Device lookup failed. [02:20] for a media box i normally go all the way and use linux media center [02:20] mmmblark: about:plugins ? [02:20] CokeNCode: traiani: the problem is sometimes for some reason there is raid software on your computer that goofs up if you don't have raid. So what I was told to do, is uninstall the packages emvs and mdadm, and restart. You can do this with apt-get or synaptic [02:20] tyler_2, in whatever you're using to do you SQL stuff, set the connect address to localhost:sourceport [02:20] nickrud: but can any settings be edited with that? [02:20] is there a gui for editing the layout of terminals such as xterm and aterm? [02:20] the hard disk changes it of cpu but now it does not initiate to me!!! [02:21] mmmblark: abount:config [02:21] Creed: connection side? [02:21] kyleBAKED, In what way? [02:21] tyler_2, what do you mean? [02:21] mmmblark: no, I would expect the plugin to use the config from the main app [02:21] gravemind: did that. didn't have emvs but removed mdam. it compiled a new kernel and I rebooted into it with same result [02:21] When I try to upgrade the package dpkg I get the error "Package dpkg is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: coreutils manpages-de dselect dpkg-dev" [02:21] other thing is any other good Media center for ubuntu NOT LISA and Myth? [02:21] ok, trying that now [02:21] thanks a bunch [02:21] help me [02:21] nickrud: which config? how do I access it? [02:21] the hard disk changes it of cpu but now it does not initiate to me!!! [02:21] this was driving me crazy [02:21] a way to let me set the launch options for color and size etc, without having to read the man page and mess with launch argument [02:21] mmmblark: which plugin? [02:22] Creed: is that the server side? I know how to configure the client side /w putty [02:22] traiani: Does udev still run at 100%? Try doing sudo udevmonitor and seeing if there are a ton of add and remove [02:22] the hard disk changes it of cpu but now it does not initiate to me!!! [02:22] CokeNCode: good luck! [02:22] can anyone help me setup wireless on my core2duo 2nd gen macbook? [02:22] Nocivo, Is English your first language? [02:22] Nocivo: what is your main language? Your question is hard to figure out [02:22] tyler_2, server side nothing needs to be done aside from the mysql port being open to the web (if its not your SSH server). [02:23] the udevd messages fill the screen too fast for me to see anything now [02:23] i just deleted cdrom from the /dev folder ... is that going to be a problem :$ [02:23] gravemind, [02:23] actually, the device-mapper messages [02:23] jojoman02, Have you looked at the macbook page on the wiki? [02:23] Creed: its my ssh server [02:23] triani: that sounds like the problem I had. You probably have some kind of raid software [02:23] CokeNCode: heh. it's a link to the actual cd device, depends on if your apps are looking at the real device or cdrom link [02:23] hd changes it of computer and this it does not open ubuntu to me [02:23] gravemind: my mb is raid but I only have one drive and aren't using it [02:24] help me please.

[02:24] Nocivo, we would help but your questions make no sense in english [02:24] tyler_2, simply set it up client side and connect using putty. [02:24] mm [02:24] Creed: where is that stated in etc/ssh? [02:25] In /etc/ssh/ssh_config (maybe /etc/ssh/sshd_config). [02:25] traiani: maybe that's the problem then. maybe something of your computer is trying to use it [02:25] "E: Couldn't find package NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1" [02:25] what is? [02:25] traiani: and you don't know it [02:25] gravemind: verified, udevmonitor is just pouring add/removes [02:25] r19 where did you get the error [02:25] nickrud, k ... thanks [02:25] but I really don't know what that means [02:25] any other good Media center for ubuntu NOT LISA and Myth?

[02:36] stash, I doubt it lol No one wants to search...they want someone to hold their hand through everything (I dont mind, just wish once someone would check google..usually the first result has all the answers). [02:36] how do i insert the gimpprint driver? [02:36] i am trying to get new login screens but i keep getting this when i try to download...."XML Parsing Error: not well-formed".... [02:36] i have had really excellent results with google and any ubuntu-related problems [02:36] i changed the video drivers to i810 from intel. could that make a difference? [02:36] zetheroo, because kde has not embraced compiz fusion, and instead will be going with their own composite manager (kwin 4) [02:36] soccer_hawek compiz can be flaky [02:36] I've found that simply giving someone who doesn't know what to look for on google a couple search phrases does wonders [02:36] has anyone in here had trouble getting Vmware Server to bridge wireless connections? [02:37] My sound does not work all the time only sometimes... and its not something simple like sound is on mute or w.e any help? [02:37] ahh gogeta, but i love compiz [02:37] soccer_hawek yea those drivers are relly flaky [02:37] thanks stash ... it's from my uni days ...

[02:37] btw, i love this community help we get with ubuntu [02:38] i've been a user since 7.04 released and i love it [02:38] zetheroo, you can certainly use compiz fusion, it just won't have quite the same level of polish that it does on ubuntu [02:38] Creed, You shouldn't see that if you are connecting to a current X session [02:38] Trying to find a network printer from laptop.... [02:38] zetheroo, kwin4 is a long way away [02:38] soccer_hawk10, yup, compared to the other linux distros ... it's amazing [02:38] absolutely [02:38] Creed, And a VNC server comes installed by default [02:38] crdlb: doesnt the python config manager work the same? why wouldnt it look as good under kde? [02:38] Can someone help? [02:38] eboyjr: just stuff for devs to see what's not working quite right, debugs & warnings.I've seen those myself [02:38] Jordan_U, I've tried a few different clients (currently trying x11vnc) but that is what I get :( If I plug a monitor in the normal desktop shows up.

Just ask your question :) [02:39] crdlb: will all the compiz-fusion effects work in Kubuntu? [02:39] so i've gotten many friends up and running [02:39] stash, ccsm works fine [02:39] Creed, System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop [02:39] zetheroo, yes [02:39] My audio doesnt work all the time just intermmeiditly.

[02:40] * elopio is saying hello [02:40] is there a good kerberos gui admin? [02:40] zetheroo, compiz, compiz-kde and compizconfig-settings-manager should do it [02:40] and does GDM etc. support it [02:40] I am trying to section off some of my callcenter over to ubuntu [02:40] gravemind: the problem may have been that people in here kept saying 'remove emvs', but it's evms [02:40] zetheroo, although compiz would pull in compiz-gnome :/ [02:40] has anybody tried to use a Kingston DataTraveler Reader on Ubuntu? [02:40] pman201, is it a known issue with your audio card? [02:40] those rooms are a little more fun though because you don't have an onslaught of basic questions and so you have more time for messing around [02:40] I just got 4 new machines with vista, gotta ditch it [02:40] nickrud, Haha, that error is being displayed right before it shuts down... I wrote it all on a piece of paper and re-typed it in pastebin hahh!

It will not be easy to fix, and may not be fixable [03:17] This is what happened last time I tried to install Ubuntu, and I ended up booting on the windows xp disk and doing a boot recovery there.

At home am on dailup so trying to download the things i need while at work, and put on a jump disk [03:19] gogeta, yes but for me to do system > prefs > remote desktop i need to be able to use ubuntu and its gui. all i have atm is x11 forwarding and ssh [03:19] creed can even set passwords [03:19] Hello.

[03:20] m3mn0n_: left right arrow and up down arrow. :) you've got columns of volume control options. [03:20] berent, The root cause of you problems is almost certainly running apt-get upgrade with Gutsy sources [03:21] I've got the partition mounted (Computer, right click mount) [03:21] m3mn0n_: when you've cranked them all as high as they'll go, use [esc] to save and get out (IIRC) [03:21] Flannel currently on Windows, so cant use that [03:21] i believe it is /dev/sdc1 [03:21] emmajane: is it supposed to be playing something right now?

Its pretty slow though :( [03:21] im dualbooting Windows XP with Ubuntu 7.10, and the problem is that everytime I use Ubuntu, my time in Windows becomes wrong... this makes the dualboot thing cumbersome, and makes me want to not use Ubuntu... since it screws with my time... [03:21] ah, yeah it's all cranked [03:21] m3mn0n_: nope. it's just a control panel. [03:21] I'd like to confirm before I do it again.... [03:21] ok, I have same card (i think), open sound mixer, and select the OSS peripherical, see if the volume is up [03:21] (that that is my boot drive) [03:21] m3mn0n_: hmm. that's *usually* the problem. [03:21] maybe it's hda1, though. [03:21] berent, Hopefully after editing the install script for libc6 you will be able to just finish upgrading normally, but I doubt it [03:21] m3mn0n_: do you know what your sound card is? [03:22] is it possible to get a corrupt iso [03:22] kena10: yes, but nothing is available yet unfortunately. do you know what's going on with the project? [03:22] kena10 .. i have configured pidgin for gtalk .. but i can only use it to chat and not talk !!! [03:22] If it detects GRUB it is detecting my harddrive right? [03:22] emmajane: HDA NVidia, SigmaTech chip [03:22] dipu: do you mean audio chat? pidgin doesn't offer that functionality on any protocol, including gtalk, as far as I know. [03:22] Jordan_U: what should i do now. i don't want to download all deb files again. is there a way to retain them and then reinstall since they have been fetched from gutsy sources only. [03:22] dipu: it doesn't let you talk. it's not made for voice/video. sorry! [03:22] What's the command to check the temperature of your computer from the command line? [03:23] is there no gtalk client for linux ??? [03:23] m3mn0n_ : Sometimes the OSS volume is down preventing sound on the ALSA peripherical [03:23] I just did sudo grub and got it... It's /dev/sdd1 [03:23] franky123: hmm, i don't know. sorry =( [03:23] m3mn0n_: Hmm. I'm not finding *anything* in google with taht name. [03:23] dipu: there's a bunch. Any jabber client is a gtalk client. [03:23] I do not know how to reinstall grub from this prompt though grub> [03:23] Flannel: he means gtalk clients that do voice chat [03:23] Nuard: I selected STAC92XX for the playbacks and the OSS one for device, I get the following message: [03:23] Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' [03:23] Flannel: from what I gather [03:23] !dualhead [03:23] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [03:24] saveme: type "quit" to leave the grub prompt [03:24] Hello?

Open the sound mixer (from the small volume icon in the task bar) [03:24] Hi, I just installed the new 8.42.3 drivers from ati on AIGLX and it works perfect except for one thing, the bar on top of every program which has the minimize, maximize and close buttons is not there on every app..

How do I change the terminal background to black? [03:25] Hello, my audio is not working since I installed Gutsy Gibbon on my Dell Inspiron 1501. Funny thing is that it worked fine on Fiesty. According to Vista, I have SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC, Sigmatel STAC92XX C-Major HD Audio Driver. Is there anything I do to revive my audio? Or should I just go back to Fiesty? [03:25] using the standard terminal in ubuntu? [03:25] kena10, dipu, alright, if you're looking for the voice thing, you just need to find a XMPP client that supports it. And there are a few, I'm looking for specific names at the moment. (Hooray for standards) [03:25] wait, which drive will grub install on? The same one that windows is on? [03:25] berent, I think you can back up your /var/cache/apt and re-install ( you will have to download the install CD ) then use the cached packages for any packages you already had installed [03:25] m3mn0n_ : then click "file", "change device" (something like this) [03:25] Hello. Could anyone tell me how I can disable my onboard ATI video card since my old Dell Optiplex GX1p does not give that option in its bios? This conflicts with my pci GForce 4 400MX Nvidia Card and freezes my pc frequently! [03:26] it said sdd1, but I have that one mounted, and it didn't work (grub-reinstall) [03:26] Naurd: okay I see what you mean now [03:26] saveme: depending on how you want thigns set up, it will normally be installed on the main hard drive that your BIOS boots to, then GRUB will give you the option to choose which partition to boot to [03:26] Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. [03:26] maybe you guys can help. i installed citrix on two different ubuntu machines to login in my windows machine at work. one one when i'm logged in to my work machine via citrix, alt+tab alt tabs around in my work machine like it would if i were at work. on the other, it switches between apps on my home computer(i.e. the apps on my ubuntu machine). troulbe is i can't remember what setting i changed for this. anyone here know what [03:26] setting affects that? [03:26] berent, You may want to move your /home to its own partition so that most of your settings will still be there after re-installing [03:26] now to find an mp3 to test :P [03:26] minimec, how do i get to the nvidia settings [03:26] eyeRmonkey: So how do I figure THAT out? [03:26] saveme: the installer should install grub for you. did that not work? [03:26] (and correct it?) [03:27] Grub error 17 [03:27] hey all, I have just installed a little squid proxy report app that runs via apache......for some reason it is not executing the cgi script, instead i see the actual script code when going to the url.....I have specified a "Directory" path in httpd.conf that allows "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" but still no go...any ideas what could be wrong? [03:27] There is a quick fix for the audio, but I know what it is. I saw it the day before on one of the reviews from a link at distrowatch.

[03:28] Hi, I have a question, can anyone help me? [03:28] I ran a feisty livecd and it works [03:28] !ask | yarbo [03:28] yarbo: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [03:28] Hello, my audio is not working since I installed Gutsy Gibbon on my Dell Inspiron 1501. Funny thing is that it worked fine on Fiesty. According to Vista, I have SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC, Sigmatel STAC92XX C-Major HD Audio Driver. Is there anything I do to revive my audio? Or should I just go back to Fiesty? [03:28] i have a realtek... i think it's the cause of many of my flash crashes. or at least party to them [03:28] emmajane: it didnt work under the gutsy livecd beta, I thought the real release would fix it [03:28] emmajane: I guess i was mistaken [03:29] saveme, grub error 17 is cannot mount selected partition. compare fdisk -l output to /boot/grub/menu.list [03:29] minimec, how do i get to the nvidia settings [03:29] Okay, so I compiled a kernel using linux-2.6.23.1 from kernel.org. I used the steps on the "master kernel thread" in the ubuntu tutorial forums. [03:29] saveme: you might want to try the #grub channel. my knowledge of grub is only good when it comes to RAID [03:29] m3mn0n_: it looks like there was a patch submitted for alsa to get things working, but I guess it's not been committed to the main repository? [03:29] hwilde: in gnome-terminal: sudo nvidia-settings [03:29] Once I booted the new kernel, it gets to the "using low graphics" screen, then it just goes to a black screen and hangs. [03:29] Jordan_U: i was thinking this. move all /var/cache/apt/archives to a backup CD. modify the sources.list to point to feisty. and issue a dist-upgrade. when it starts downloading packages of gutsy (after it modifies the sources.list ) i will issue ctrl-c. now i replace all deb back to /var/cache/apt/archives. [03:29] hwilde: Ummm... OK? wow, this is total gibberish to me. *sigh* I just want to use YouTube and compiz... LOL [03:29] Any ideas? [03:29] Jordan_U: and then again apt-get upgrade [03:29] minimec, holy crap that is awesome [03:30] how do i install .tar.tz? [03:30] berent, Why point to feisty? [03:30] http://www.linux-hero.com/rant/explanation-ubuntu-hard-drive-wear-and-tear -- please fix this [03:30] Jordan_U: so that i can dist-upgrade and as you pointed that's the root cause [03:30] saveme, your harddrive has partitions on it. grub is the boot loader and has to know which partition to boot. error 17 says it cannot mount the selected partition. if you type in sudo fdisk -l it will show you the partitions. then fix the grub menu /boot/grub/menu.list [03:30] hwilde: if you don't have nvidia-settings.. then sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings [03:30] Hello, my audio is not working since I installed Gutsy Gibbon on my Dell Inspiron 1501. Funny thing is that it worked fine on Fiesty. According to Vista, I have SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC, Sigmatel STAC92XX C-Major HD Audio Driver. Is there anything I do to revive my audio? Or should I just go back to Fiesty? [03:30] how do I know my question isn't just lost in the flood? [03:31] there IS no menu list in /boot/grub. [03:31] Could that be the problem? [03:31] yarbo: it most definitely IS. *sigh* [03:31] theres no menu.lst? [03:31] berent, That is the root cause of your problems but the damage has already been done, that is why I suggested that the easiest thing to do would be to re-install [03:31] yarbo: you dont but for the most part some one will see it [03:31] yarbo: it's not. If no one answers, its because no one who's awake at the moment knows the answer, reask the question ever 20 minutes or so, and use the time in between to google, or check the forums or whatnot [03:32] Jordan_U: Is it. Ok. how do i reinstall [03:32] DjBones: Nope! There's device.map and THAT'S IT. [03:32] minimec, I have it, but it only has XScreen0. [03:32] m3mn0n_: And it appears your sound card doesn't work on other flavours of Linux (or at least didn't earlier this summer): http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/my-sigmatel-stac9200-will-not-work-560999/ [03:32] saveme: hmm.. if theres a smart person around here i think theres a terminal command that regenerates the grub menu from your fstab [03:32] berent, Do you want to save your current preferences for the most part or do you want to just start completely fresh? [03:32] I wish there was a magic fix grub command I could just type in. [03:32] Jordan_U: but i have 7 GB of /usr folder and i cant afford to lose all those [03:33] DjBones: I think I need a full grub reinstall. [03:33] saveme, /sbin/grub-install [03:33] emmajane: yeah that guy from the link has nearly the same setup as me [03:33] This is not the FIRST time I've encountered this. Though last time I went back to windows after error 22, which was different. [03:33] emmajane: nothing muted, everything is just below max and still no sound [03:33] m3mn0n_: sucks :( [03:33] berent, Do you mean /home? Like /home/berent ?

[03:34] why my desktop top is ugly even with the GNOME XGL running? [03:34] hey everyone.. here i am.. back to ubuntu. after trying out opensuse and fedora, i am now sure (more than ever) that i love ubuntu =P [03:34] The grub was installed properly [03:34] Jordan_U: like /usr/lib /usr/local/bin etc/ [03:34] hwilde: Go to 'X Server Display Configuration' [03:34] m3mn0n_: if ryy had sound working in feisty (with the same card) maybe you should give feisty a try? [03:34] Which sounds fancy, but I have NO clue what any of this means, actually. [03:35] minimec, thank I go for it [03:35] minimec, oh it is disabled!~ awesome. [03:35] I've got ATi's 8.42.3 driver installed on my system (ATi X800 Pro card), and when I try to enable compiz with "compiz --replace", I get this error: Fatal: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing. Anyone know why this is happening? [03:35] ryy: we were just looking at your card on someone else's machine. It *seems* as though it's not properly supported and that an alsa patch is required. [03:35] minimec, they made this too easy :) I was already hakcing the xorg.conf but you can just click the gui [03:35] berent, They will be remade when you install the packages in your new install, and I think the packages won't need re-downloading if you backup your /var/cache/apt/ [03:35] What is is an alsa patch? Why did I not need it before? Thanks [03:35] hwilde: ;) [03:35] jkeyes0: try #compiz-fusion [03:35] thanks. :) === Jj_ is now known as Jj [03:36] I'm lost. I still don't know what my /boot is, and I also don't know how to find it. I think I did 20 minutes ago, but now I forget. [03:36] jkeyes0: try this: http://blog.micampe.it/articles/2006/02/18/ubuntu-fglrx-xgl-compiz-and-missing-glx_ext_texture_from_pixmap [03:36] Is there any way to find out for sure if ubuntu not loading is a hardware problem, perhaps even the bios? [03:36] ryy: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/my-sigmatel-stac9200-will-not-work-560999/ [03:36] the recovery console in windows and fixboot will get me back to x64, but I REALLY want to switch to Ubuntu. [03:36] minimec, lol nvidia-settings segfaulted but both monitors are working now [03:36] yeah, there seems to be a real issue with this certain SigmaTel chipset [03:36] A lot of the software I use is not available in Windows, and there's also no driver for my TV card. [03:36] Jordan_U: but if i install a iso , it is surely going to erase everything and install itself. [03:37] Okay, so here goes. I compiled a kernel using the directions from the master kernel thread on the Ubuntu forums. Everything goes good until after I install the new kernel and reboot. when I reboot it shows some boot up messages, then the ubuntu logo comes up for a few seconds. After that I get the "Using Low-Graphics" warning. I just click OK at this point because I dont have drivers installed yet. When I click OK all I get is a bl [03:37] ack screen and it seems to hang. Anyone have any suggestions:? Is there anyway I can put the driver right in the kernel ? [03:37] emmajane: What is an alsa patch and did it work? Thanks in advance [03:37] ryy: alsa patch means software needs to be written. [03:37] emmajane, Same error when I tried that (and it was written before the 8.42.3 driver was made). thanks though [03:37] berent, Yes, which is why you would want to backup /var/cache/apt/ somewhere else ( and maybe move your /home to another partition ) [03:37] ryy: Go and buy a diff $5 sound card. :) [03:38] hey can someone help me? noone on the forum will respond. [03:38] ryy: I don't know if it will work for you or not. I don't have the same problem you do.... ALSA is the software which controls sound within Linux. A patch is a new piece of software that fixes known problems. [03:38] does anybody know how to install desklets [03:38] ryy, try a more popular manufacturer (not sigmatel). i've never found a soundcard from creative or intel that doesnt work [03:38] saveme: do you think there will be a patch for that card anytime soon? [03:38] hwilde, x-fi does NOT work. [03:38] yarbo, You can install the drivers via console [03:38] hwilde: I love twinmode with e17 as WindowManager ... [03:39] Jordan I can't get the console. [03:39] Well, I haven't tried. [03:39] How do I get the console? [03:39] minimec, did you extend the desktop or separate x [03:39] jkeyes0: darn [03:39] yarbo, ctrl+alt+F1 [03:39] never get something that is "too" new [03:39] Hamppari: Who's to say? I am not an alsa programmer! :) [03:39] does anybody know how to install desklets? [03:39] I can't even boot. [03:39] yarbo: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal [03:39] WAH! [03:39] I can't get the console, cause I can't boot. Once I get the low graphics warning it hangs. [03:39] nj786, what is a desklet [03:39] saveme: Which I was so I could keep my friend using Ubuntu :P [03:39] yarbo, boot into recovery mode [03:40] im trying to use stickam.com witch is a flash based webcam chat service, i have flash installed and it works fine, but when i go to stream my video or audio, nothing goes across. and my webcam works because it works offline. help please [03:40] hwilde: http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=165 [03:40] Geheimnis-: i just wish there was a way of upgrading to 8.04 without going thru 7.10 =P === H_M-XP is now known as H_M-Ubuntu-7 [03:40] I need help it looks like the nvidia drivers are installed but I still have a sucky resolution [03:40] hwilde: that is a desklet [03:40] emmajane: thanks for all your help === H_M-Ubuntu-7 is now known as H_M-Ubu7 [03:40] Naurd: thanks for all your help [03:40] Ahh!

I have used ubuntu for three years now and have never ran into this problem [03:41] I've got a HP Pavillion dv9500 laptop with a nvidia geforce go 7150M graphic card [03:41] does anyone have a URL where I can find a torrent for Gutsy? the normal download links seem to die on me too easily [03:41] Jordan_U: i'm running feisty.. and i really don't want to go thru gutsy and have everything broken up =/ [03:41] hwilde: I am using Twinview mode with Enlightenment e17 as WM. [03:41] yarbo: i take it you've already tried 'envy' for the drivers? or are you trying to grab the bleading edge ones lol? [03:41] is there an "official" torrent for gutsy? [03:41] yarbo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [03:41] Ugh, I've been getting random kernel panics on 7.10 after heavy scp'ing to a machine on the same network using the attansic driver. (Card is on the onboard Asus P5B-Plus motherboard.) [03:41] Taranis: what kind of problem? [03:41] djbones, I have no idea what you are talking about. [03:42] LiMaO, I'm seriously thnking of reinstalling and going with feisty Gutsy doesn't seem to be ready for my hardware yet [03:42] does anyone know how to assign a logical name (e.g. eth1) to a wireless card?

I really am not very good with working out linux issues, I honestly didnt even know about the alsa project =P now I know... now to find a similar project for my wireless card [03:42] Geheimnis: I get to the 'ready to install screen' and the Migration assistant isn't seeing vista [03:42] I need to let them know their driver locks my system up [03:43] yarbo: haha my bad, theres this automatic GUI program that installs the drivers for you.. and it sounded like your were having problems so i suggested it.. heres a link for Envy: [http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html] [03:43] grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 [03:43] find /boot/grub/stage1 [03:43] im trying to start the live cd or install the new ubuntu but [03:43] it wont work [03:43] m3mn0n_: I'm all about learning new things. :) [03:43] Error 15: File not found [03:43] knighthawk: im not sure [03:43] when i boot to the cd... it just says fail to boot [03:43] knighthawk: i tried gutsy for a few days.. too many problems. got back to feisty (all of them were 64bit).. after the new release of firefox (2.0.0.8) my script (that installed firefox32 + java + flash + mplayer plugins) wouldn't work anymore. flash got screwed and everything. now i'm back to feisty 32bit [03:43] im on pclinux os [03:43] knighthawk: But I think not [03:43] hwilde: You still have compiz-fusion running? That means that we are going stronger ;) [03:44] !doesn't work | bobdraken [03:44] bobdraken: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money?

[04:09] hwilde, try running "metacity --replace" [04:09] heatman, yeah you could unload the module [04:10] kalleskaviar: could you please give me the command, i mean the stuff that i need to modify in the .conf so that would take effect?

Google was giving me a range of values but 2049 was the most common [04:12] hwilde: I did, everything was fine [04:12] vmware workstation doesn't want to startup on here. just did a clean install of the alternate cd for gutsy [04:12] Jordan_U, umm the real question is why do I have to keep my window manager alive in a temrinal [04:12] Jordan_U: and with apache the only way I'm guessing I'd notice the slowdown would be something along the lines of a slashdot/digg effect? === danny is now known as rhythmicmayhem [04:12] hwilde, alt+F2 and run "metacity --replace" [04:12] so to fix the resolution problem, should i look for a new Nvidia driver or what?

[04:15] heatman, well you need to add the module name to /etc/modprobe/blacklist then do a sudo modprobe -r modulename how your xor.conf file should look depends on how it looks now.

[04:24] hwilde: i did before [04:24] ?i guess ill stick with terminus... [04:24] DrunkPikachu, there is a command /sbin/grub-install [04:25] DrunkPikachu, maybe it finds your harddrive as a different name... i dunno [04:25] my laptop is still running feisty with a rather cheap ATI card, and I used Envy for it - but I heard it's not a good thing to use that anymore [04:25] Where can i find the sync range? [04:25] hwilde: i installed all kinds of stuff to get java ... among other things i got an error saying i didn't have java running when i tried to use pastebin [04:25] heatman, that sounds reasonable. [04:25] would the sync range be on the back of the monitor? [04:25] hwilde: as for reinstalling the grub my hand, I've already done that, no dice [04:25] kalleskaviar: possible that there is more than one module for that agp vid card? [04:25] If I burn the ubuntu 7.10 cd iso to a dvd-r will it still work [04:25] ??? [04:26] Anyone know anything about wireless networks in ubuntu?

[04:28] Geheimnis: I could choose higher but my monitor can't display any better [04:28] heatman, well i'd try by only blacklisting intel_agp [04:28] can't i ask apt-get to use the cd whenever the versions are same, and only to download a package if there is an upgraded version online? [04:29] kalleskaviar: ok tyvm I appreciate your help! [04:29] hwilde, sudo -s [04:29] Now after i edit the file, do i have to reboot or log off?

[04:39] hwilde: Doesn't connect to the exchange server, it's mail2web.com, that particular service insists you use the entire user@domain.com format when logging in, and it looks like evolution insists on trimming user from that string and using it to login so it gets refused. [04:39] Anyone having problems with their sound? [04:39] Naisenu, Yes [04:39] Jordan_U, if this pos locks up one more time i'm reformatting the drive and reinstalling feisty [04:39] Has anyone had issues printing from abiword?

[04:40] is it worth upgrading to 7.10? [04:40] Jordan_U, I was in the middle of synaptic install and it locked up again so now I have to reboot and fix the packages [04:40] or putting them in # would suffice? [04:41] Anyone having sound or ALSA issues? [04:41] Jordan_U, i'm emailing shuttlesworth. this is so not worth it for fancy effects [04:41] how can i get -dev packages in my synaptic package manager? [04:41] Innomen, Yes, you need to change the boot loader, isolinux does not work with USB drives, the actual system is exactly the same [04:41] I tried upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 and it was a nightmare [04:41] I am attempting to install the new nvidia graphics driver: 100.14.23. We go into virtual terminal 1, kill X and GDM. Run the installer. It borks and says "cannot find path to kernel source" - exiting. The kernel dev package is installed, nvidia dev package is installed. What's going wrong? [04:41] There should be an option during the install, Do you want fancy effects, or Do you want it to not crash [04:42] Naisenu, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual [04:42] [NvidiaManual] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NvidiaManual [04:42] Geheimnis, whats the deal with upgrading? do u lose stuff?

Some people do. [04:42] I ended up formatting and installing from scratch because my system was pretty much unusable [04:42] Midgewa: Upgrades are problematic for any operating system. [04:43] yeah hence me not wanting to lost all my crap, i should probs just stick to 7.04? [04:43] Midgewa: Make sure you backup before doing ANYTHING problematic. [04:43] Stick with 7.04 if it is working fine for you [04:43] donogameel: tried opera? [04:43] The new version is not going to change your life or anything. [04:43] desertc: will probably stick to feisty - im moving back to XP soon anyway [04:43] Hi there, I'm having trouble with my network settings. When I try to open Network Administrator it fails with an unknown error. [04:44] Midgewa: It's a shame you're giving up ownership of your computer. [04:44] Is Opera better than Firefox? [04:44] !best | donogameel [04:44] donogameel: 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. [04:44] Midgewa I'd love to know why you would ever think about going 'back' to XP? [04:44] donogameel: try Epiphany and Opera or Dillo [04:44] I just installed using the alternative CD" and the boot hangs at Running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local) .... [OK] I hit enter and nothing happens [04:44] hi [04:44] why is scrollkeeper-update hogging half my CPU? What is it?

[04:44] does anyone else have any thoughts about why a working wireless card/module won allow me to connect to an AP? [04:45] Roswell_r, no. just type -dev [04:45] Roswell_r: Why are you compiling programs!? [04:45] Wine works well for me, at least much more than before [04:45] antum its absurd, i know, but i miss gaming too much - ill keep it dual-boot but i imagine ill be lazy and end up using XP all the time [04:45] Roswell_r, What are you trying to compile? [04:45] 1 [04:45] sudo apt-get install libsomething-dev [04:45] is there a keyboard layout shortcut? if no, how can i set one, i got that qwerty keyboard to get used to qwerty xD [04:45] Rutilt [04:45] Midgewa: There are tons of games for Linux. [04:45] Jordan_U, I ran sudo -s but it still asks me for the password for everything [04:45] i cant find any packages with -dev in them for apt-cache though [04:45] yeah but none my friends play ;) [04:45] desertc, I compile most of my libs when I'm developing (libwx for instance) [04:46] Roswell_r: Ubuntu is not a "go compile new programs" operating system. [04:46] Roswell_r: sudo apt-get install rutilt [04:46] Wish someone would make a nice framebuffer webbrowser. then we could ditch GUI entirely. :) [04:46] Roswell_r, packages.ubuntu.com === idleone_ is now known as IdleOne [04:46] getdeb.com? [04:46] so i have to download them manually from packages.ubuntu.com ? [04:46] hwilde, You need to run programs from that terminal for them to run as root [04:46] Roswell_r, no, but once you get a package name, apt-get should see them [04:46] KNY: He's not developing his own programs, he's downloading some flaky code and trying to run it. [04:46] Roswell_r: rutilt is packaged [04:46] I wanna install terragear (for flightgear) but the only way is to compile it, and it's hell on earth [04:46] !info rutilt | Roswell_r [04:46] roswell_r: rutilt: Configuration tool for rt2x00 wireless network cards.

[05:17] Tem Ive seen some vmware guides on how to get vmware to boot a 'isntalled os from a hard drive' - it takes a bit of manual editing of the vmware config files I belive [05:17] hm [05:17] Malfist, you need to register via nickserv first; do you have Jabber? [05:17] i dont know. [05:17] When will https://help.ubuntu.com be updated for 7.10 ?? [05:17] Dr_Willis, Thanks. I'll poke around for something [05:17] hwilde sudo apt-get install jwm icewm fluxbox (that will install 3 new ones for ya) :) [05:17] which app can you use for mixing music? ardour, rosegarden, audacity? [05:17] hwilde: It depends on what window manager [05:17] Tim: i have kubuntu and ubuntu running under vista with VMWARE. just load from the cd or iso. [05:18] KNY, no, can you not see me? === robc is now known as cb160 [05:18] Dr_Willis, how about xfce or enlightenment [05:18] KNY in the dialog [05:18] KNY I can register real quick [05:18] Malfist, you can't send a /msg unless you're registered with NickServ [05:18] okay [05:18] hwilde this is when you fire up the package manager and use its search feature. :) 'xubuntu-desktop' is the whole Xfce/xubuntu desktop [05:18] hwilde: for xfce package xubuntu-desktop [05:18] sudo apt-cache search fancy --- and there isn't [05:18] Dr_Willis, genii, which is the fastest and which is the best [05:19] where is the hardy channel?

[05:19] hwilde best - depends on your needs. [05:19] hwilde: "best" is subjective. Fastest is fluxbox [05:19] Cpudan80: but #ubuntu+1 redirects here [05:19] it does? [05:19] How do you even measure the 'speed' of a window manager. :) [05:19] yes [05:19] all sound works but flash [05:20] hrm... [05:20] Dr_Willis, I want it to be fast and not crash. I've rebooted more times in two days of gutsy than months of fiesty. it keeps locking up on me [05:20] hwilde i would disable compiz for a start then. [05:20] chowmeined: So it does! [05:20] while I'm here, I have another question... under feisty I used to have the cube in 3d...how can i get the same effect under 7.10? [05:20] Dr_Willis: How long things take to load, lag time on apps etc [05:20] Dr_Willis, I went to system->[preferences-> appearance and set it to none [05:20] Dr_Willis, how can I completely disable it [05:20] hwilde that should be about as disabled as it can be. [05:21] kaiou: install the compiz configuration file [05:21] d'oh! [05:21] cube: lol thank you. [05:21] who has flash sound working on gutsy?? [05:21] well, ubuntu successfull resized my NTFS partition and installed itself there without corrupting any of the files there [05:21] hwilde: alt-f2 and gnome --replace for gnome or kwin --replace for kde [05:21] but I guessed wrong on which partition I was sizing with that slider [05:22] hi everyone [05:22] so my ubuntu partition got the lion's share of the hdd [05:22] at xchat how can i use scripts [05:22] Perl scripts [05:22] deneme, Window > Plugins and Scripts [05:22] How can I fix No sound for flash on gutsy??

[05:24] the real xchat version is 2.8.4 or something [05:24] with this new compiz-fusion integrated into gutsy, i have it turned all the way up, and I like it, except the windows keep sticking to the outside borders. Any way to turn that off [05:24] ? [05:24] Tem, not yet, but in the future [05:24] it's coming [05:24] venomousice install the advanced configuration tool for it. and start twiddling with the settings [05:24] Is there a way to list the files that would be installed before installing a package ?

[05:25] hello. how can i change the temp directory used by Kino? i keep running out of space on /tmp [05:25] I'm jealous. Grass is greener effect and stuff.

[05:25] venomousice somthing like compiz-setting-manager [05:25] genii: is there another way to find out the number of the parition? as i have 3 hard drives with many partitions its a little confusing for me [05:25] !find ccsm [05:26] tiago: Was windows originally installed on an entire drive?

[05:28] Is "Allow local system administrator login" disabled be default in the security tab of the login window's manager? Isn't that what controls whether or not the root account is locked? [05:28] MasterShrek: how can i do this thanks anyway [05:28] deneme, system > administration > software sources enable the checkbox for universe and multiverse [05:28] can anyone point me in the right direction to get the newest ati drivers working with aiglx [05:28] Dr_Willis: i was running fusion prior to gutsy, so I'm somewhat familiar with it. I just need to find the setting for it [05:28] c0Ld that keeps root from loging into the kdm/gdm X session. thats just ONE place root is disabled. [05:28] deneme, then open a terminal and do: sudo apt-get update followed by: sudo apt-get upgrade [05:29] genii: hd(0,0) is where osx86 is now installed but origionaly that was a windows partition, do you think vistas boot loader may have been stored on that partition despite vista being on another partition? [05:29] c0Ld if root had a password - that setting would keep Root from Loging into X directly [05:29] cube: nope.. but when I select "Extra" in the Appearance Preferences, under Visual Effects, a message box says "The Composite extension is not available" [05:29] cold: yes [05:29] !root [05:29] 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 [05:29] tiago: Ah. Previously did this drive boot by itself in a different physical configuration? [05:29] tiago: Ah. Previously did this drive boot by itself in a different physical configuration? [05:29] i have to add option "accelerate3d" on xorg.conf??? [05:29] there is no root password (until you set one) [05:29] Sorry for dbl post ppl [05:29] MasteShrek, if i apt-get update, it will downloa build essential from the net.

[05:30] hey, I was having problems with my wireless, so someone said to try ndis [05:30] anyone installed Gutsy on a MacBook Pro? [05:30] qwerty121, no, i dont beleive build-essential is on the live cd [05:30] so I loaded my driver and did a modprobe [05:30] ok so can someone help me with this function key thing? when i do "cat /dev/input/event1" and press the fn key + f2 i see a bunch of garbage on the terminal, how do i set it up so that the fn key will work now? -- I do "sudo fsfn -n -d /dev/input/event1" but it says fsfn isn't a command... is there a differnt command? [05:30] Dr_Willis: It's enabled on my computer, but I have no reason for root access outside of sudo. Is it safe to disable that option, or will it lock ALL admin accounts out? [05:30] ccb0x45, what wifi card? [05:30] can anyone point me in the right direction to get the newest ati drivers working with aiglx [05:30] cube: don't know what you mean.. i'm trying to enable compiz-fusion [05:30] and blacklisted my old driver [05:30] compiz is opengl [05:30] MasterShrek: its a pci based on the 8151 realtek [05:30] is it possible to use Fixedsys font in mirc through wine?!??????

[05:30] 8.43 [05:30] any idea how to make it connect [05:31] cube: haven't tried... [05:31] c0Ld, you could just look at the /etc/sudoers file [05:31] tiago: Is that drive still physically attached to the computer in bios etc on first ide ribbon as master? [05:31] genii: previously grub would load and then when i selected the windows option i would be taken to the windows loader to choose between vista and server but since server was stored on 0,0 maybe the vista loader was put there? [05:31] qwerty121, well then it may be on the cd, i have no idea [05:31] ??/ [05:31] mastershrek, I blacklisted the native driver... and when I reboot it doesnt show any wireless in the network manager [05:31] (or as first sata, etc etc) [05:31] Bqmassey: maybe your card isn't working if it can't find composite driver... [05:31] but ndis says the device is present [05:31] genii: i belive so, i have not changed the physical configuration at all [05:31] ccb0x45, and ndiswrapper is loaded?

[05:32] and well you could try legacy but if its new and not working its probably not gonna if you are already on a fresh install of gutsy? [05:32] i did it before [05:32] MasterShrek, its not loaded, how do I load it? [05:32] cube: under Restricted Drivers, "ATI accelerated graphics driver" is enabled and "in use" [05:32] tiago: OK. So when windows was installed, it was put on the second partition or third partition of that drive? [05:32] qwerty121, possibly, it may also mean that apt is expecting a different version of the package [05:32] cube: yeah, brand new install [05:33] hwilde: I'm asking if I can disable the "Allow local system administrator login" option in the login window manager without having all admin accounts locked out. I'm not sure if that option is only root or if it's all sudo owners as well. [05:33] bq: I had to install a few files to get compiz to work [05:33] ccb0x45, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper i think, i havent used ndiswrapper in awhile, but i think its loaded just liek a normal kernel module [05:33] how do I connect my dell bluetooth mouse? [05:33] MasterShrek: i am an EE user and installed EE from the same CD. Possibly the CD is corrupted [05:33] !bluetooth [05:33] For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [05:33] genii: i think the 3rd [05:33] bq:try going back and reinstalling and look for any compiz files [05:33] !xchat [05:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about xchat - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:33] qwerty121, possibly, u dont have any internet access?

Version 2.8.4-0ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 300 kB, installed size 808 kB [05:34] Anyone know what min refresh rate you have to have to run compiz? [05:34] Similer to an IRC client that i doubt if many people in here have ever used.. :) good way to describe somtning.. heh [05:34] monitor wise... [05:34] tiago: Try then hd(0,2) [05:34] DWonderly, i dont think it matters [05:34] thanks [05:34] I don't think it matters either [05:34] genii: thanks, ill brb [05:35] My monitor wont show the Gutsy GRUB splash screen... [05:35] which is generally better for fakeraid, dmraid or mdadm? [05:35] right so im not sure whats going on... I'm new to linux and ubuntu but i want it to work [05:35] MasterShrek: well, i do. I am in this channel... [05:35] DWonderly, as long as its not a 1980s monitor lol [05:35] 1995 1st gen LCD [05:35] qwerty121, then install from the internet [05:35] @find videosz [05:35] MasterShrek, but my monthly bandwidth is falling short [05:35] DWonderly, you should be ok [05:36] MasterShrek, once I load it do I have to reload network manager? [05:36] is there a way to do that? [05:36] ccb0x45, maybe, i dont know i dont use network manager, bet way would be to restart x [05:36] ccb0x45: sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager restart [05:36] thanks [05:36] MasterShrek, why would my monitor freak out on the GRUB screen? [05:36] or i spose that === travis_ is now known as trav === trav is now known as travis_ [05:36] cube: ok.. i'll work on it some more.. thanks [05:36] hi everyone [05:36] DWonderly, not sure, there are many possiblities, it "freaks out" on the grub menu u say? [05:37] "Enable local system administrator login" is enabled in the login window preferences on my computer, but I have no reason for root access outside of sudo. Is it safe to disable that option, or will it lock ALL admin (or sudo-using) accounts out as well? [05:37] c0Ld, just for the login manager === travis_ is now known as trav === trav is now known as travis_ [05:37] as in logging in as root in a gui [05:37] Hello is this where I can come if my live cd does not work? [05:37] Is there a VMware to allow a Windows VM inside of Ubuntu??? [05:37] MasterShrek My monitor states that the "VGA mode is not supported. [05:37] drake vmwareserver can do that easially enough, or virtualbox [05:37] drake, i guess so... [05:38] i'm new to the linux universe. i have zero skill with the terminal. i'm running ubuntu, and was wondering about using the synaptic manager to install programs [05:38] Gohan, check it for defects, if its fine and still doesnt work try the alternate install cd [05:38] DWonderly: EGA ? [05:38] DWonderly: How about CGA ? [05:38] where can I get vmwareserver [05:38] i've successfully installed them, but now i don't know how to run them [05:38] DWonderly, thats very strange, not sure exactly what to do on that [05:38] bp depens on the program. You can use synaptic to see what files a package installed. [05:38] MasterShrek: I checked defects before my frist try, whats an alternate install cd? [05:38] cold: that option is disabled by default; you should be okay [05:38] MDA? [05:38] for example ircii [05:38] bp, most programs should show up in your menu [05:38] venomousmice, there isnt a network manager to restart in init.d just networking [05:38] bp some thimes when you isntall somthing the menus dont get refreshed untill you logout/back in [05:39] nothing ever shows up in the menu [05:39] can ubuntu x64 support?

[05:39] Dr_Willis, where can I get vmwareserver, will it run on x86 PCs [05:39] MTecknology, of course, im running it righ tnow [05:39] mtecknology yes it does 64 look under the get ubuntu options [05:39] bp some programs dont have any icons/menu items. depends on the program [05:39] genii: hey mate im back, still no good [05:39] ok maybe you guys can help me with something else. what is the list of codecs for commonly used video formats, as they apply to packages?

[05:40] MTecknology: Best OS for 64bit [05:40] how much RAM can it support [05:40] bp, many program never show up in the menu b/c they don't have a gui; they are command line based [05:40] MasterShrek: So if I disable it it won't effect my main account at all and I'll still be able to access sudo etc? [05:40] what can i do with that link http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz ?? [05:40] MTecknology: How much you got?

How much do you really have? :) the bios is right isent it? [05:47] I just discovered that it left the "load printer" option commented out in my smb.conf after setting "share connected printers" option on in the printing utility [05:47] thedude1373: so at what step are you having to do that command? (and I think you only need one of the 4 debs for most things) [05:47] hwilde, because you are using a 32 bit os [05:47] bah qwerty is just as easy and widely used [05:47] Dr_Willis, according to the BIOS and MemTest is says 4GB, but top and /proc/meminfo say 3 [05:48] holy cow there is a LOT of stupid little bugs in Gutsy that should never have leaked into a release [05:48] I want to try dvorak out for the hell of it' [05:48] i though 32bit affected ram OVEr 4gb. Or is that over 4. counting video ram? [05:48] hwilde, u need to be running ubuntu 64 bit to support more than 3 gigs of ram [05:48] but I don't know how to enable it [05:48] buntunub start filing bug reports. :) [05:48] MasterShrek, umm 32bit goes up to 4G [05:48] Dr_Willis, im pretty sure 32 bit caps at 3 gig [05:48] File enough and get Cake! [05:48] 32 bit still has pae [05:48] i could be wrong tho i guess, ive never had that much ram :) [05:48] ive filed many bug reports and they continue to go unresolved/unanswered [05:49] I got 3 gb here.

[05:52] genii: is it possible that say vista was on partition 3 with its loader on partition 1 and installing osx on partition 1 over wrote vistas loader? [05:52] tonyyarusso: 1. how do i do that and 2. the build/install is what fails; don't i need to do that first [05:52] It worked poorly, but it finally worked. [05:52] ya so did i after i rebuilt xorg.conf from scratch with dpkg-reconfigure and then use nvidia-settings [05:52] I didn't do any of that [05:53] thedude1373: oh, bah. Erm, see what happens if you use Ubuntu/7.10 instead of Ubuntu/gutsy, just to humor me. [05:53] so does anyone know of a list of programs available with Apt-Get??? someone please.. even a NO to my question would be nice [05:53] tonyyarusso: or are you talking about adding "Load "fglrx"" to xorg? [05:53] How do I view hidden processes in Ubuntu? [05:53] Plus, the tool keeps an archive of EVERY revision of your xorg.conf [05:53] Senesence: hidden? [05:53] Sensesence: hidden or administrative? [05:53] tiago: Yes, entirely possible. Windows normally wants control of the MBR which is at start of drive [05:53] E: The package libcrypt-smbhash-perl is not ok and I don't know how to fix it! [05:53] ToddEDM apt-cache search command is normally used. [05:53] E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report. [05:53] Senesence: Why do you think they are hidden? [05:53] that was after Screens and Graphics trashed my xorg because it couldnt detect my video card or monitors (even though they were listed on the original xorg after install) [05:53] ToddEDM: you can use apt-cache search to search for programs in the repos [05:53] Sigh. Any ideas why my system keeps locking up when trying to finish initializing Linux's software raid, md? Every ATA device in my system starts lighting up like a christmas tree when this happens. On my latest custom kernel build of 2.6.23, I get a time out on accessing /dev/md7 after 1.5 hours. I never had this problem before I tried upgrading from RAID1 to RAID10. [05:53] Any Ubuntu 7.10 users here having a problem where once in a while when you boot your computer not all the gnome daemon thingys load but when you restart again it works fine? [05:53] desertc, MasterShrek, Jordan_U, the bios and memtest say 4G, but top and meminfo say 3G. why does ubuntu think there are only 3G ? I am sure this is why the system is locking up now [05:53] thedude1373: I'm just repeating back what you said. [05:54] ToddEDM: Fire up Synaptic and browse what is available. [05:54] desertc: My mouse lags every 2 seconds, but nothing seems to be running when watching system monitor or top. [05:54] buntunub: It keeps an archive. . . why didn't you just restore to a previous version if it "trashed" your config [05:54] genii: would there be any way to restore vistas mbr to partition 1? i have windows software to do it but is there a way within linux? [05:54] Sniper223, I would settle for it just booting everytime at this point. [05:54] Senesence: Must be the mouse driver... but there are no hidden processes [05:54] how do i compilke from source? [05:54] because previous version was still wrong for dual monitors [05:55] ok cool thanks guys... another quick and easy question for you guys..... is there a way to save lines i write in Terminal? [05:55] hwilde, You are using a 32 bit kernel, you need the server or x86 kernel to see all 4 GIG [05:55] sumone4lif1 You got the wrong OS to compile source [05:55] sumone4lif1, open synaptic and install the build-essential package === n2diy_ is now known as n2diy [05:55] Jordan_U, where is this documented ?? [05:55] hwilde, I meant 64 bit, not x86 [05:55] it was either test out the Screens and Graphics (cause I foolishly thought it would work) or build the second monitor by hand, or use nvidia-settings [05:55] Jordan_U, I really do not believe that is true where does it say that [05:55] hwilde, It's true of all operating systems :) [05:55] desertc: It worked fine with Feisty...so I don't think it's the driver - unless it was changed for the gutsy release...Was it? [05:55] Jordan_U, no! 32bit architecture can have 4G of ram! [05:56] buntunub: I have two nvidia montiors working from playing around with the new ubuntu tools [05:56] ToddEDM: check out the ~/.bash_history file [05:56] Senesence: I have no idea. Did you search launchpad? [05:56] buntunub, when my machine boots, it does have dual monitors with nvidia. [05:56] tiago: No way from in linux, unfortunately. With w2k/xp the usual route is to boot to cd in recovery console then do FIXMBR. I suspect same in vista but have no firsthand knowledge [05:56] hwilde, Yes, but not with a standard kernel, that is why 32 bit XP cannot see >3GIG either [05:56] (run "less ~/.bash_history" ) [05:56] i downloaded the VMwareserver and extracted the files, how do i install it. I tried running the vmware-install.pl file, but nothing happened [05:56] how can i enable S/PDIF out on my audi card? [05:56] hwilde: Jordan_U is correct [05:57] thats great desertc. take a looksee on over at our Forums to see that an aweful lot of Nvidia users are having big problems with this. I guess you are one of the lucky few [05:57] genii: thanks alot mate i guess ill give that a try [05:57] desertc, Jordan_U, well that is crap no wonder it keeps locking up using half a dimm.... I have 2x 2G [05:57] hwilde: It is an architecture limitation, not an OS limitation [05:57] desertc: Will do, as soon as they go back up - there seems to be a maintenance cycle going on. [05:57] what's the best dvd player for linux? [05:57] hwilde: You might consider 64-bit, it's very good [05:58] Etherael: For encrypted or non-encrypted DVDs ? [05:58] tiago: they will also give you guidance in #windows for this, hopefully. [05:58] encrypted [05:58] desertc, don't i need a 64bit cpu and motherboard for that? [05:58] Etherael: Do you live in the USA ? [05:58] desertc: Nope. [05:58] The applet encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_NotificationAreaApplet" Do you want to delete the applet from your configuration [05:58] hwilde: Sorry, you're right. I guess you're stuck [05:58] Etherael: that's a tricky question, because some libraries.. that aren't legal i think, are required to run them [05:58] I'm trying to upgrade to 7.10 but I get a message: Failed to fetch http://quozl.netrek.org/pptp/php-gtk/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [05:59] Etherael: You can use Xine -- with configurations that I can't discuss. [05:59] hwilde, Install 64 bit Ubuntu or install the "linux-server" package, I don't know if the proprietary GFX drivers work with the server version though [05:59] Goodmayonnaise: That is not a standard ubuntu repository [05:59] Etherael: libdvdcss2 [05:59] DerangedDingo: Already got the libs for totem and vlc, I can watch encrypted dvd's, I just wanted to know what the best player was, totem doesn't seem to use menus at all, and vlc is finicky with some titles. [05:59] dumb question, how do you execute a pearl script? [05:59] Etherael: Totem will not work for ANY DVDs [05:59] Goodmayonnaise: Comment out all non-standard repos and try again [05:59] None [05:59] desertc: Xine, ok, thanks. [05:59] Etherael: I use VLC personally, but it's just out of laziness and the fact that I haven't found anything better [05:59] At all [05:59] Jordan_U, my cpu and motherboard are not 64bit [05:59] drake: perl? [05:59] hmmm, well, whatever app it is that ubuntu starts by default when I put a dvd in. [05:59] genii: how do I do that? [05:59] I'm getting eight messages right now, they're all asking me to delete some applet or another. [05:59] drake, you have to set it as executable first: chmod u+x something.pl [05:59] What should I do? [05:59] that works [06:00] but it doesn't show menus [06:00] I prefere VLC [06:00] just goes straight to the title [06:00] !repo [06:00] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource [06:00] Does anyone know how to enable spdif on my audio card or where I can look to figure this out? [06:00] and sometimes subtitles and such won't show up [06:00] anyway, I'll check out xine. [06:00] drake, then, from the cmd line, $ ./something.pl [06:00] desertc, so what exactly do you mean by With a 32 bit address space you can have memory allocated up to 2^32 = 4,294,967,296 = 4GB. [06:00] mplayer > vlc [06:00] it is already executable [06:00] Etherael: Totem doesn't do menus or chapter selection (so you can only see one chapter at a time) and it doesn't show even numbed chapters. [06:01] hwilde: It's a hypothetical maximum [06:01] desertc, so where is the 3G limit [06:01] drake, the $ is your prompt, you don't need to enter it [06:01] hwilde: I was mentioning it to the guy who wanted to know if he could use 12 GB in 64 bit [06:01] Can I reboot nautilis? [06:01] hwilde: 3.5 GB is the practical limit for 32bit [06:01] soon after upgrading to gutsy, the preferences window in iceape either freezes or causes the program to crash [06:01] There has been some breakthrew on the 4GB ram areas for 32 bit OS's. All hacks tho. [06:02] nerdparty: ctrl-alt-backspace [06:02] all i do is click upgrade in the update manager [06:02] well thanks for the help guys and gals, the download is taking a bit longer than i thought... so i shall see tomorrow [06:03] hwilde: you got ripped off if someone sold you 4 GB memory in a computer, I'm afraid [06:03] !source-o-matic | Goodmayonnaise [06:03] Goodmayonnaise: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [06:03] how do i change into the superuser? [06:03] drake: you don't [06:03] sudo command [06:03] !sudo |drake [06:03] drake: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [06:03] can anyone give further info on exactly what the advantages of a 64bit system are? [06:03] desertc, I will try running on just 2G and see if it is more stable then. [06:03] Etherael: in freebsd 64bit uses more cpu optimizations. i dont know about linux [06:03] Etherael: same as 16-bit to 32-bit [06:03] hwilde: it's not a stability issue [06:04] thanks [06:04] can someone confirm or deny in linux [06:04] More ram, better performance of some applications, and a few other things that I can tell. I use the x64 now as is Etheral [06:04] drake, 'sudo -i' at the prompt will elevate you to root permanently in that terminal, but it's usually just better to 'sudo command' [06:04] hwilde: it's just the computer can't read up to 4 GB, only 3.5 GB. But.. then, maybe it would cause problems, I don't know [06:04] desertc: I just restarted nautilis but it still isn't working, any advice? [06:04] desertc, I have 2x2G dimms. If Ubuntu thinks there are only 3G it could cause problems [06:04] clegane: ugh - you're killing security [06:04] hwilde: maybe - I really don't know [06:04] Zippy2: #linux-kernel may have your answer? [06:04] desertc: thanks for your help yesterday, I'm officially using Gutsy Gibbon right now. ;) [06:05] hwilde: I haven't run 32-bit in years [06:05] desertc, ya, ya [06:05] n2diy: too lazy, guess ill never know. thanks anyway [06:05] unfabled: you are the man!!! any trouble? [06:05] Better performance? what causes that? [06:05] Etherael: who said better performance? [06:05] Zippy, the only probs with X64 is the graphics drivers that are proprietary dont all suppor desktop effects, but yes it seems to use more proc abilities. [06:05] nah, not really. next up is getting my dual monitor setup to work, and everything i type seems sluggish. === Andre_Gondim_ is now known as Andre_Gondim [06:05] im using intel gma x3100 [06:05] i dont think this driver is good for any arch [06:05] Hello, for some reason totem-xine is not playing xvid videos....in both ogg and mkv format...any suggestions on how to fix it? [06:06] hmm, seems I've lost my enable/disable desktop effects menu entry (or I'm just blind and not seeing it). Can someone confirm for me that I'm supposed to have such a thing (I swear it was there before)?? [06:06] it doesnt even support xvmc [06:06] desertc: Phenoixind [06:06] desertc, you have not run into programs that are not supporting 64b ? [06:06] Etherael: It's not much better [06:06] hwilde: Never [06:06] desertc: nah, not really. next up is getting my dual monitor setup to work, and everything i type seems sluggish. [06:06] Ok, I have a small problem [06:06] bjron: where are you looking? [06:06] isnt 64bit supposed to boost i/o a little [06:07] jif: system preferences and system>administration [06:07] insofaras it is better at all, how is it better and by how much? [06:07] Desertc: well compared to the "alt" os, it performs alot better on the x64 arch. [06:07] I need to update to 7.10, but I'm going from 5.04. I'm doing the apt-get method, and apparently half the sources aren't any good anymore for 5.10 [06:07] how do I use sudo to execute the vmwareserver install pearl script??? [06:07] Zippy2: I suppose it could... I think the programs run better - because you never use poorly written code that fails to compile with 32bit [06:07] Phuzion, download the cd. [06:07] How do I get the sources that aren't any good anymore to work? [06:07] bjron: system>preferences>appearance (gutsy, that is) [06:07] hwilde: And use that as a deb-cdrom? [06:07] pheonixind: Windows only emulates 64bit, from what I hear [06:07] Phuzion, 5.04 -> 7.10 is a huge leap. download the 7.10 install cd [06:08] does anyone know how to work preferences on iceape without the gui? [06:08] anyone here use BitchX? does anyone even use it anymore? [06:08] hwilde: no cd burner handy [06:08] !shipit | Phuzion [06:08] Phuzion: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Gutsy (7.10) CDs [06:08] drake: what is pearl? [06:08] unfabled: I needed to use "generic LCD monitor" configuration to get my dual monitors working [06:08] .pl file [06:08] pearl script [06:08] perl [06:08] jif: awe, damn, I am blind :D thanks (for some reason I was looking for an entry that said something about Effects) :P [06:08] hwilde: I know about shipit, but I'd like to get this system up and running by tomorrow or friday [06:08] drake, it's "Perl" [06:08] drake, n2diy it is perl not pearl [06:08] sorry about that [06:09] hey.. [06:09] perl script [06:09] so pretty [06:09] drake: then it is a perl file, not pearl. Asking the correct question will help. [06:09] desertc: Oh? Hmm.. well I have two monitors that are the EXACT same model, maybe it's getting confused? [06:09] drake, sudo perl
