[00:24] Malfist: yes, you should [00:24] fevel: okay, let me turn them on. [00:24] hi there, yesterday at school, I saw someone who had a console like the quake console but it was for his system. Anyone knows which console that is? [00:24] anonymous_: sudo mkdir /media/Moviez && sudo mount -a [00:25] rebooting.... [00:25] hyper__ch, well, I've got to go to the library in about 5 minutes, I'll do some reading there [00:25] and when I double click it i get the " am not privileged error message [00:25] hyper__ch: open a console and type "s [00:25] fevel: I just tested it, and it works. [00:25] d0ll4_: alsa-utils restarted [00:25] ndee, it could be terminal? [00:25] ndee: tilda maybe [00:25] fyrestrtr: hummmm [00:25] I thought programmers were dyslexic. [00:25] anonymous is it ntfs? [00:25] anonymous_, you're not a privileged error message? Then what are you"? [00:25] hyper__ch: sec [00:25] fyrestrtr: mine doesnt, although startup does [00:26] hyper__ch: did that help at all? [00:26] * fyrestrtr turns it off -- my laptop shouldn't sound like a jamn pinball machine. [00:26] urbanmonkey: what to type? just 2? [00:26] hyper__ch: yep try this one [00:26] hi [00:26] urbanmonkey: alsa-utils restart doesn't help [00:26] hilo [00:26] hello [00:26] hyper__ch: damn [00:26] urbanmonkey: [00:26] hyper@gubi:/etc/init.d$ s [00:26] bash: s: command not found [00:26] eZtar: i dunno...how can i find out?

[00:28] !away > assasukasse (read the private message from ubotu) [00:28] True [00:28] don't get you [00:28] Malfist: if you have no better advice then pasting the whole xorg.conf into irc that's not good... you should know that pastebins should be used for that [00:28] johnn1: More properly: it kills the current session. Restart depends on how the server itself is running. [00:28] urbanmonkey: what to type into the terminal? I have now alsamixer loaed [00:28] !away > FluxD [00:28] anonymous_: you have to create teh mountpint first, THEN mount a dev to it [00:29] hyper__ch, I was commenting on your ability to paste that into IRC, I was being sarcastic when I said do the whole xorg.conf [00:29] hyper__ch: yes, sry, should have said that, does everything look to be turned up and not muted? [00:29] anonymous_: so do:sudo mkdir /media/Moviez && sudo mount -a [00:29] Winball: had a look there, but that didn't help [00:29] hyper__ch, are you on a laptop? [00:29] anonymous_: you have to CREATE the mountpoint BEFORE you mount anything there --> so do:sudo mkdir /media/Moviez && sudo mount -a [00:29] Malfist: instead of trying to be sarcastic you shouldn't try to help at all... so far you have only been bullshitting in an official support channel === bmk789 is now known as bmk789_brb [00:29] eZtaR: all it says is Atheros Hardware Access layer(HAL)....thats all i'm seein [00:29] hyper__ch, I beg to differ [00:29] <|adrian|> i need help tu configure my volume buttons on latitude d810 [00:30] urbanmonkey: in the alsamixer? [00:30] hyper__ch, I bugged you first as a joke, and then when you got mad I continued [00:30] hyper__ch: yes [00:30] Malfist, hyper__ch: drop it please. Malfist knows he is not to do it again now [00:30] Malfist: you don't get a concept of "support" channel, do you? [00:30] jbj [00:30] ubuntu include dns.apache etc etc ?

[00:31] Sharpie: then in one of the tabs check automatic login [00:31] SHarpie: or you can go to [00:31] am getting mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/Moviez': File exists [00:31] blackstar, you should find ubuntu is easier than slack [00:31] kingvin -> sorry i was just i only know how to fix my own chipset :( But i would recommend making a forum topic on your problem [00:31] blackstar Gusy [00:31] blackstar, Gusty* [00:31] Sharpie: System -> Administration -> Login Screen [00:31] gusty ?

(like, being able to write to boot drive instead of having to use sudo in the console?) [00:32] root drive* [00:32] blackstar, 7.10 [00:33] Sharpie: why would you do that? [00:33] sharpie you can log in as root [00:33] Sharpie: not reccomended [00:33] Sharpie: you shouldn't work AS root all the time, but you can mount partitions with ownership for your user account [00:33] FluxD: Atheros AR5005G [00:33] because I don't need it to protect me |: [00:33] hyper__ch: ok, let me know the url when you are done [00:33] Sharpie: oh, but you do [00:33] Sharpie: ;) [00:33] Sharpie: sudo -i , that will give you a root environment [00:33] kingvin: whats the problem? [00:33] i'll try it out [00:33] Sharpie: edit your fstab and add either umask=000 or some other flag for 777 on all files or ownership by your user account [00:34] not giving me access to root is as useful as UAC [00:34] Sharpie: owner=youraccountname [00:34] um, in fstab? [00:34] Sharpie: yep [00:34] ok, thanks [00:34] Sharpie: not necessarily [00:34] FluxD: its showin in restricted manager but it aint workin at all...in Network settings i only see wired...no wireless [00:34] oh! and one last thing, is there a way to hide my NTFS drives from my desktop? =o [00:35] Sharpie: im clueless on that matter [00:35] !icons > Sharpie (read the private message from ubotu) [00:35] Sharpie: and what do you mean by "root drive"? [00:35] hello! I'm upgrading Kubuntu Feisty to Gutsy, but the installation had an error while installing debconf, it said "segmentation fault". Then it told me about two more errors and now it's stalled on zlib1g-dev. I am using i386. Any thoughts?

I opened up 5900, and I'm connecting to the right stuff -- it even asks me for a password, but it says authentication wrong [01:08] peerless: are they fat32 ntfs or linux partition? [01:08] My main hard drive has like 90GB free. I want to make a 15GB partition (can I make it 15GB ext3 and 75gb NTFS?). Also, do I install windows first and then linux? [01:08] one is ext3 and the other is ntfs [01:08] <_mastro_> fyrestrtr: here the smartctl http://pastebin.com/m7b8ab6ce what does it mean? what i have to do? [01:08] Master_Z: i would install windows, leave unpartitioned space for linux, then install ubuntu [01:08] source , what ??? [01:08] ext3 u can use default [01:08] adminn: that is serious error that prevents people from update: files are missing on one of the servers [01:08] but the others [01:08] Master_Z: yes u can [01:08] u have to use ntfs [01:08] Master_Z better to install windows first, easier to do [01:08] theacolyte-> you are connecting to a windows machine? [01:09] cM0ss: works for me its just flash [01:09] _mastro_: it doesnt support smart. theres nothin gyou can do [01:09] can I partition using windows instead? [01:09] cOnKa if you can work in text mode not graphic mode [01:09] is it in a usb enclosure or something? i dont think you can access smart through usb [01:09] mr_marvin: so cant update to gutsy so should download full? [01:09] cM0ss: only sound though [01:09] source , yes [01:09] <_mastro_> Zippy2: O_o ok still i don't kwnow where to search for the problem [01:09] FluxD, yeah...I get sound...no video [01:09] adminn: yes, i will do that. but this still is a serious stuff. [01:09] _mastro_: theres nothing you can do to fix it. it isnt supported [01:09] Master_Z install Windows first, make your partition, leave blank space for Linux [01:10] cM0ss: its flashs problem sadly we cant do anything about it [01:10] cOnKa ok so you now how put command line i can give you the comands [01:10] hmm, this one is tricky. I'm having trouble building my simple app that uses SDL_mixer.h. It's giving me grief at the linker stage, where it is unable to resolve the functions that the header files refer to within SDL_mixer. Anyone have a clue how to debug this in ubuntu? [01:10] mr_marvin: did you get that error from trying to update an older distro to gutsy? [01:10] <_mastro_> Zippy2: that's not my problem.. my problem is that my system become really slow when disk is in use.... like if you don't have DMA enabled.. but it seems to work... [01:10] so far I've checked /user/include and found that the header file is there and correct [01:10] source , yes m8 but can u pm them please [01:10] _mastro_: hdparm -u1 -d1 -m1 /dev/hda [01:10] _mastro_: nothing too serious. It just means your drive doesn't have a SMART chip on it. SMART can tell you (with some degree of reliability) if your disk is having hardware failures. Seems like its an issue between dapper and edgy. I would start by going to launchpad and filing/searching for bugs. [01:10] cM0ss: whats your difficulty? [01:10] or whatever the ide device is (if it's ide) [01:10] I did only just install the dev package, do I need to restart before it will work with linking? [01:11] adminn: no. 7,04 > 7,10 [01:11] <_mastro_> fyrestrtr: thanks i try [01:11] theTrav: are you missing and -dev packages? [01:11] scguy318, viewing the video on foxnews.com ... get sound but no video....it's a flash file. [01:11] <_mastro_> Zippy2: can't from edgy where the new wrapper /dev/hda -> /dev/sda has come.. and the same moment i started to have this issues [01:11] anyone know how to get more themes from repositories to emerald ? [01:11] mr_marvin: good thing I got gutsy ;) dvd [01:11] fyrestrtr: I'm pretty sure I've got the right -dev package [01:11] I have ubuntu alternative 7.10 on my HD but my CD burner isn't working, is there a way ti install the update thats still on my HD without putting it onto a cd? [01:11] torrente: gnome-look.org [01:11] cM0ss: are you using 64-bit version? weird [01:12] dev packages are just header files right? [01:12] scguy318: same for me [01:12] scguy318, no...32 bit version [01:12] cOnKa not slam or short words please is not my language english just i come here to practice my english and help at the same time [01:12] how do I add fonts?

[01:12] I'm having a number of issues with the new GNOME interface, in Gutsy. I can't find anything on Launchpad about most of them, so I wonder if it just me. Does the red "Shutdown, Quit" button on the tool bar take 2-3 minutes to respond for anyone else, for example? [01:12] i have both libsdl-mixer1.2 and libsdl-mixer1.2-dev [01:12] theTrav: and libraries, and source -- depends on the package.

[01:14] adminn: well, thanks :) [01:14] ash_: unfortunately, I wouldn't be in the know [01:14] stefg: i gues because it doesn't have the space to put all the packages?

[01:14] cM0ss: there are only 2 possible plugins for flash [01:14] also some other sdl mixer functions [01:14] mr_marvin: your a good guy thankyou :D [01:15] gary_inNYC: deluge [01:15] theTrav: means you are missing a file that you should be compiling against. [01:15] stefg: what if maybe...i put them on my swap temporarily, i have like 2G of swap [01:15] thanks [01:15] part of my problem is that I don't know where the implementations of those functions should reside [01:15] cOnKa write --> ifconfig and paste in here [01:15] scguy318, adminn: thank you for tips... i'm off. i ordered cds, so goota be patint. bye.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [01:33] does LTSP support extend to ubuntu running in a xen instance? [01:33] i have ubuntu 7.04 and for some reason every single time a try playing a flash video the browser frezzes... [01:33] adminn , i am trying to connrct to the te interent it says i am connected but i am not any ideas \/// [01:33] ???? [01:33] mbdl: have you considered upgrading to gutsy [01:33] NO one knows how to theme 7.10? [01:33] there is not one person here who is able to do that? [01:33] mwright1: thats what im doing right now [01:33] how can i tell what date i installed a given package? [01:33] angerbuntu: There are people who do -- it came themed originally [01:33] mbdl: oh great tell me more [01:34] mwright1: yeah but i want to change the theme [01:34] mwright1: i don't think that relates.... it's not important if your box is real or virtual unless your net is configured right and you have enough horsepower [01:34] but i wanted to know is it an error in this version that has been fixed [01:34] mbdl: what's your underlying OS -- my xen box is running Centos5 as the base OS [01:34] mwright1: and any theme i get from gnome-look is "incompatible" [01:34] angerbuntu: System -> Preferences -> Appearance? [01:34] hydrogen: are you running wine from winehq.org or from the ubuntu repos? [01:34] stefg: except that muekow ubuntu does some things to get sound support at the kernel level [01:34] conka: do you have a static ip? if so I would set your name server // dns first before setting your ip and gateway [01:34] anger - is that the only error you get?

[01:34] NolanG: from ubuntu repos [01:34] mbdl: do you have sound support [01:34] i changed my icons and used the themes that come with 7.10 [01:35] you can't get Xen for Xp pro though [01:35] scguy: literally anything from gnome-look.org under compiz themes [01:35] that makes no sense to me [01:35] deanstl: when i find a solution ill write something up [01:35] mwright1: ah, ok... sound. that might be a problem. but you can run some daemon for (crappy) sound support, too [01:35] conka: did you try a new rj45 network cable? [01:35] mwright1: for the flash? no but i have sound though everything else [01:35] angerbuntu: thats not the place then :P [01:35] but until then i dont know whats going on here [01:35] no I don't want crappy sound support [01:35] angerbuntu: for tweaking Compiz ccsm [01:35] !ccsm | angerbuntu [01:35] angerbuntu: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Gutsy(7.10) install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' - A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [01:35] mwright1: for some reason its only the flash thats doing it [01:35] mbdl, can you explain your setup.. you boot your main server to which OS?

Just know that it is quite popular [01:39] did you not? [01:39] so apparently anything named .cgwdtheme is incompatible with compiz-fusion or what [01:39] d4rkmonkey im on mirc on a windows aptop i am connected on the internet on this but on my ubuntu system i am not [01:39] ive installed the compizconfig-settings-manager [01:39] c0nka are you connecting through wifi, or through etherenet, or through a modem?

[01:40] angerbuntu: not the GNOME thing [01:40] loL [01:40] angerbuntu: unless youw ere trying to use the former [01:40] angerbuntu: in that case I'm clueless, since I don't use Compiz [01:40] mwright1: AND THATS WHAT I WAS RESPONDING TOO [01:40] and there is really no can use Chinese ?

[01:41] mwright1: your funny i think u got conversations mixed up [01:41] I am really having troubles getting opengl to work in Ubuntu 7.10. I enabled the "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver" in the "Restricted Drivers Manager", but then when I rebooted I got this error saying my display settings couldn't be autodecteced, so it felt back on some "low-graphics mode"... Could anyone give me some pointers?

[01:43] angerbuntu, Do you have emerald theme manager installed? [01:43] jordan: thats what id like to know [01:43] jordan: i need that right? [01:43] stefg: does this limit only internet connections or LAN as well? [01:43] angerbuntu: that's Beryl Emerald, you'll have to do something with Emerald, and it's Beryl so [01:43] otherwise its just using metacity themes [01:43] Is there a way to make an executable that currently requires sudo no longer require sudo? [01:43] d4rkmonkey , yes m8 [01:43] sweet mother of chaos [01:43] Madgin, I have the same problem. [01:43] hiv002 please, try #ubuntu-cn #ubuntu-tw or #ubuntu-hk for help in chinese, this is an english only channel [01:43] angerbuntu, Install it with Applications -> Add /Remove or Synaptic / apt [01:43] angerbuntu: yeah you need Emerald [01:44] Malcovich: that's an extremely bad idea [01:44] no sound, at least not from ALSA [01:44] yurimxpxman: i don't know. just look at it yourself, it's quite small [01:44] why doesnt this come default? [01:44] "hey now we have compiz but you cant theme it!" [01:44] c0nka run sudo dhclient in a terminal then try again [01:44] angerbuntu what are you talking about? I'm using compiz, and my themes work fine [01:44] the tendons in my neck feel like rigid cables used to support bridges across the world [01:44] Malcovich, Yes, but it is VERRY insecure to do that [01:44] mneptok: Why? It's just a util that switches from monitor to svideo output. [01:44] ok everytime i try to install ubuntu on my laptop it freezes at 15% anyone know why or how to fix this? [01:44] d4rkmonkey: you can install compiz themes default? [01:44] I connected to a server via Ubuntu's "connect to server" interface under Places. Now I want to initiate a terminal session with that server, like I would with PuTTY in Windows. How do I do that? [01:45] d4rkmonkey: did u install emerald? [01:45] toodles: try using the alternate install CD? [01:45] after this i will be so elate [01:45] d [01:45] jordan_U: It's simply a video output switcher. requires sudo right now. Need it to run on autologin. [01:45] d4rkmonkey, i think he means no default themes [01:45] Malcovich, because if someone can exploit it they can gain root privileges [01:45] angerbuntu I didn't install any compiz themes... and I didn't install emerald either. [01:45] oooooh [01:45] you can create your own themes [01:45] d4rkmonkey: well im trying to install compiz themes [01:45] Malcovich, Ahh, that is different, just add it to your rc.d [01:45] !boot | Malcovich [01:45] Malcovich: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [01:45] lets give emerald a shot [01:45] kkathman Well, my theme is a custom mix of the default ones... don't know if that makes any difference though [01:46] umm...new at using Ubuntu, is there an FAQ or documentation on how to install drivers? My Integrated Intel NIC card isn't being recognized [01:46] Malcovich, *rc.local [01:46] Help! [01:46] Malcovich: why does it require sudo now? [01:46] I connected to a server via Ubuntu's "connect to server" interface under Places. Now I want to initiate a terminal session with that server, like I would with PuTTY in Windows. How do I do that? [01:46] d4rkmonkey , nope m8 [01:46] d4rkmonkey, well in previous releases, compiz came with a couple of dozen premade themes [01:46] this time that didnt happen [01:46] this is kludge [01:46] bigtime kludge [01:46] kkathman alright, I think I'm thinking of something different then [01:46] Malcovich: if you can't answer that with a researched technical answer, it's probably not a good idea to moss with it. [01:46] gezus, Have you tried System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager ? [01:46] 3 different utilities [01:46] angerbuntu, you can create your own you know [01:46] *mess [01:46] Hey, I've been trying to mount 2 of my extra internal drives on boot by adding them to my fstab..i finally figured out the problem.. every time I restart it assigns different hard drives to different devices.. last time i booted my main drive that I boot off of was /sdb1 and now its /sda1 and the other 2 drives changed too..how can i make sure they never change? [01:46] hwo do i change the program that runs when clicking a mpg? [01:47] PirateHead: open a terminal (hit alt+f2, type gnome-terminal, and hit enter) and then type ssh yourusername@yourserver [01:47] mneptok: No idea. I have to run sudo atitvout t to switch to my svideo output. sudo atitvout l to switch back to lcd. I've got them mapped to buttons on my remote. But they only work if I login. Not on autologin. [01:47] c0nka no idea then, sorry. [01:47] kkathman: the window decorations are what im concerned with [01:47] hey guys, how can i upgrade 7.0 to 7.1 using only a live cd? [01:47] or can i at all [01:47] what is the package name for the new restricted ati drivers? [01:47] my laptop crashed halfway through upgrading from feisty to gutsy (due to a picnic, not the upgrade). I booted up, ran the update manager (only had to update a handful of packages) and it looks like gutsy, but should still have 3 hours left. Any way to figure out what's missing or resume? [01:47] angerbuntu, right .. you install emerald and you have full capability to create your own windeco [01:47] any one having a inspiron 1521 can passe me his xrog.conf please [01:47] I need to install them from command line [01:47] hanasaki: right click on any mpg and choose open with [01:47] d4rkmonkey , thanks anym8 for your time and help [01:47] Innomen: you can't [01:47] !UUID | peerless [01:47] peerless: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [01:47] Innomen from 7.04 to 7.10 you mean... one second and I'll see if I find anything out [01:47] I put an entry in sudoers for atitvout for my user.

I'm used to windows world where .exe are installed. usually when you need a driver it would be there or you'd have to enable it there? [01:48] Medication time. [01:48] i have COMPIZ installed [01:48] what the hell! [01:48] Innomen: you need alternate. or do a net-upgrade (but remeber to backup before you proceed) [01:48] how do i chagne the association with "movieplayer" [01:48] Something along the lines of "IO Boot Error" or something like that. [01:48] hanasaki: open with will change the default, you can also use system > preferences > preferred applications [01:48] angerbuntu: the Emerald Theme Manager is what you need [01:48] angerbuntu, go to system-prefs- emerald-theme-manager [01:48] for some reason, "java" isn't showing up in my path even though it exsts.

[01:52] its impossible to read anything [01:53] Evanlec: supposedly faster I/O, but what else? [01:53] ok, dumb question, and unfortunately I'm not in front of the machine in question: I used apt-zip on a gutsy machine at home, downloaded packages on an os x tiger machine at work. on most packages (apt-zip -a dist-upgrade -p kdebase-workspace) the md5sum failed. this is two days in a row. are all the kde4 beta packages in gutsy compromised, should I be concerned about my home machine, or should I instead be concerned about my [01:53] and you feel as though you are staring at satan [01:53] fyrestrtr: it says there is only one option [01:53] scguy318: but saying that's an advantage for 64 bit is weak. [01:53] every time you log in, you log in to satan [01:53] Jordan_U:when i tried the "restricted drivers manager" it says "your hardware does not need any restricted drivers [01:53] tearing your eyes apart [01:53] lhoerste: logout of the terminal and log back in. [01:53] ok, now the Command Prompt says that the directory doesn't exist. [01:53] fyrestrtr: well, then I don't see much of a reason to use 64-bit at all ;) [01:53] /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/javac [01:53] lets give this a shot and see what happens [01:53] fyrestrtr: i have rebooted already [01:53] scguy318: I do :) [01:53] fyrestrtr: explain [01:53] how do i change the program that runs from totem to gxine when i click a movie [01:53] scguy318, i dont see much of a reason not to use 64-bit [01:53] scguy318: #ubuntu-offtopic [01:54] well the problem was i couldn't get desktop effects working on clean Gutsy install...so i checked the forums and installed the new ATI 8.42 drivers and although the install worked, i still get "Desktop Effects could not be enabled"...what am i missing? [01:54] I'll erase the disk and try the lowest burn speed. [01:54] salut [01:54] i did all this and i dont want some junk theme [01:54] I'm using Nero 6. [01:54] evanlec: what doesn't work under 64bit these days? [01:54] fyrestrtr: /usr/bin/javac exists as well... this is so weird [01:54] !traffic [01:54] NOTICE - There is a lot of traffic in this channel at the moment.

Thank you for understanding! [01:54] lhoerste: what are you trying to do that's not working? [01:54] oh man and now someone is outside honking SO much. my nerves are a mess [01:54] fyrestrtr: both java and javac arent found as commands [01:54] mutenewt, nothing really, u just have to run some apps in 32bit mode, like java [01:54] i also have the new ati drivers installed (X1900XT) so my graphics card is well off when it comes to handling graphics and it wont enable them for me either [01:55] * regeya keeps his lip zipped--after all, mentioning kde4 might be "offtopic" [01:55] Anyone know why my distrub upgrade keeps freezing [01:55] scguy318, please read this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=577840 [01:55] Let me redescribe my issue, and if it sounds like a tickless kernel issue, I'll look into rebuilding my kernel. WoW, running in Wine, is giving low frame rates. It starts fine - and after a few seconds settles to about 20% of what the framerates used to be in Feisty. Every few minutes the framerates spike to "normal", then immediately drop back down. If I switch away from and back to WoW, the framerates go to "normal" then immediately drop again. [01:55] lhoerste: echo $PATH [01:55] Does this sound like a kernel issue? [01:55] evanlec: ahhh, thx [01:55] fyrestrtr: /usr/bin is there [01:55] NolanG: no. [01:55] NolanG: this sounds like a wine + graphics drivers issue. [01:56] for all those that think the only reason to use 64-bit is for more than 4gb of ram, you are MISTAKEN, please read http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/10/16/64-bit_more_than_just_the_ram/1 [01:56] how do I install the kernel source files for my kubuntu machine so that I can install my graphics card driver? [01:56] gezus, Most ( almost all ) drivers in Linux Distros are provided by default, if they are not in Restricted Driver Manager ( where non open source drivers which can't be installed by default go ) then they likely don't exist, or your hardware needs a newer version than what comes by default [01:56] fyrestrtr: /usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java [01:56] lhoerste: what program are you running that is using java? if you type java -version do you get anything? [01:56] fyrestrtr: and /etc/alternatives/java cant be read [01:57] lhoerste: re-install it. [01:57] fyrestrtr: java is not found as command man. that means java -version wont work [01:57] fyrestrtr: already have [01:57] then I give up. [01:57] seems you have something else going on. [01:57] fyrestrtr: Can you think of any good ways to troubleshoot it? [01:57] hey, would anyone know why i can access the internet only when I have Totem open? [01:57] how do I install the kernel source files for my kubuntu machine so that I can install my graphics card driver? [01:58] NolanG: there could be so many things ... wine + wow requires some patches and some other things -- I had to go through a lot of hoops when I was running it. First step, check the winehq entry for WoW and see if you need to apply any patches. This usually fixes such things. They also have recommended settings for WoW there. [01:58] cdxx: what card? [01:58] cdxx, apt-get install kernel-source [01:58] nvidia quadro4 700 [01:58] heh, people actually think that the only advantage to 64-bit procs is increased memory address space? lol. btw, is there a 64-bit linux flash plugin? :-) [01:58] err [01:58] you don't need the kernel soruce [01:58] ok so it sees the theme [01:58] to install the driver [01:58] Hello everyone. I just upgraded to gutsy and when i try to login a prompt tells me that the session lasted less than 10 seconds and gives me a gtk+ error (cannot initalize). not even failsafe gnome works. Anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? [01:58] you need linux-headers [01:58] but now i cant activate it [01:58] !nvidia | cdxx [01:58] regeya: no. [01:58] cdxx: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:59] this is ridiculous [01:59] pfffft [01:59] no [01:59] no [01:59] no [01:59] jumping back and forth between 4 different applications to get a theme working [01:59] fyrestrtr: I've been through all that. I even double checked it a few minutes ago - all is set correctly, and like I said, it ran great in Feisty. I am trying to figure out what the changes could have been. I am running the exact version of wine I was running on Feisty, so I think that is probably not the issue. [01:59] i already in my driver install [01:59] and at a point where it says [01:59] cdxx, dont spam like that please [01:59] you dont have the kernel source files [01:59] NolanG: what video? [01:59] fyrestrtr: bummer. [01:59] cdxx: what driver? [01:59] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42180/ [01:59] so, that means I need the kernel source files [01:59] fyrestrter: nvidia 7900 GS 512 MB [01:59] cdxx: no. [01:59] cdxx: it doesn't. [02:00] pffft [02:00] cdxx: use the restricted drivers manager. [02:00] yes [02:00] cdxx, 'sudo apt-get install kernel-source' [02:00] it does [02:00] Gnash doesn't seem to work with Firefox. I am told that with a recent security update of Firefox, gnash was broken. I have now installed Adobe's flash. This works for video, but I get no sound. Any suggestions? [02:00] cdxx: what driver do you need? [02:00] thank you Evanlec [02:00] Evanlec: thats the wrong answer. [02:00] it is? [02:00] http://pastebin.com/m3c58ca7f | can anyone help me with this issue? [02:00] you need headers of the current kernel [02:00] to build against the current kernel [02:00] it's not evms [02:00] i dont need a driver [02:00] cdxx: you are about to break your box. Not now, but after next kernel update (which wiill surely come) [02:00] can use either in my understanding [02:00] dude [02:00] i cant handle this anymore [02:00] I know that nobody in the rest of the civilized world has to mess with apt-zip, but for rural USians, it's distressing when an apt-zip-list -p kdebase-workspace yields mostly md5sum mismatches [02:00] anyone know where I can find drivers or how to enable an Intel NIC Network card? It's unrecognized by GG [02:00] you do not need to install the kernel source to build a third party driver [02:00] how do i get my gnome sound working? [02:01] in fact, it probably won't work [02:01] thats what the headers are for. [02:01] gezus: what is GG ? [02:01] it says did ont find any devs [02:01] gutsy gibbon [02:01] regeya: I used apt-zip until some weeks ago [02:01] well, u might be right [02:01] angerbuntu, What's wrong? [02:01] regeya: In Brazil [02:01] Okay, why can't I edit my desktop? [02:01] nosklo: that makes me feel better, actually. not the only one here. [02:01] but i cant think of why you'd want to compile nvidia drivers unless u had a custom kernel anyway [02:01] jordan_u: it sees the theme in emerald, and it shows up, but it wont actually apply the theme [02:01] gezus, Wireless? [02:02] regeya: is it broken?

Where does this avah thing come from? eth1 is the wlan [02:02] fyrestrtr: i installed java 5 and it worked. It's a problem with java6 binaries [02:02] after upgrading to gutsy, the bash script seems to run into md5sum errors, and I'm just making sure I shouldn't worry about compromises on either of those systems [02:02] anyone know why my desktop effects refuse to enable with the new ati drivers installed and a x1900xt? [02:02] does the new version of gnome in gutsy still use esd? [02:02] angerbuntu, Compiz doesn't use Emerald by default, you probably just need to start emerald [02:02] bash script is being run on os x tiger btw [02:02] lhoerste: you have both java 5 and java 6? [02:02] cdxx: don't use that... follow the instructions [02:02] no [02:02] i have to [02:02] fyrestrtr: now I do [02:02] its the only one usable [02:02] believe me [02:03] if this is the command to make a directory "sudo mkdir /media/volume", whats the command for deleting it [02:03] is it a really bad idea to run "aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop" ? [02:03] regeya: When I used it I had some trouble with md5sums using my country's repo... Switching to the official repo solved it. [02:03] gezus, And it doesn't show up in System -> Preferences -> Network ?

I seem to have bricked my laptop [02:05] sweet mother of moses [02:05] 7.10 is trash... worse release yet.. [02:05] jordan: it worked! [02:05] angerbuntu, Also I think that you can switch to it with the Compiz Fusion icon in the panel [02:05] that site is useless to me [02:05] fyrestrtr: I dont think so. I had only java6 when it was not working [02:05] !grub | Dan_L [02:05] Dan_L: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[02:06] just needs a bit of polish angerbuntu [02:06] I have eBox installed, and the user I created upon install, which is in the wheel group and can su to root as such. Once I add that user to the eBox group, I still cannot use its password to log in. Is eBox expecting a root user, not just a memeber of eBox and Wheel?

It's the binary that wasn't runnable [02:06] angerbuntu, There is a GUI setting for it somewhere ( again, I think in the icon in the top panel ) but if you want to do it manually just add "emerald --replace" to System -> Preferences -> Session [02:06] <_mastro_> fyrestrtr: module-assistant will already have the needed stuff?

I expected to be able to login with that user's password. I am unable to. [02:13] It was a good read with muh burger. [02:13] gezus, It's strange that it doesn't show up, that happens with wireless cards usually, never had an ethernet card not work out of the box [02:13] lhoerste: what do you mean 'on your desktop'? On another linux machine? [02:13] how about ntfs ones ??? [02:13] Evanlec: I've only ever found messages from X apps there [02:14] Must I give root a password and use root's password to get into eBox? [02:14] hi guys ! good night :) [02:14] gezus, see if you see it when you run "ifconfig" in a terminal [02:14] fyrestrtr: yes. it works fine there. everything just works after installing it [02:14] can anybody help me? i cant boot ubuntu 7.10 (live), it hangs starting cupsd [02:14] nickrud: then restart X? [02:14] ub-jeff: wheel group? [02:14] fyrestrtr: this should just work. I shouldnt have to sit around and do all this IT stuff just to get netbeans to know where java is [02:14] jmitchj: no, just try compiz --replace [02:14] Periclez, You could try the alternate install CD [02:14] lhoerste: complain to netbeans. [02:14] hanasaki: it does make it default. right click and the "Properties" before you go to "open with" [02:14] nickrud, ok, thx [02:14] jrib: thanks.. but that only changes it once.. i need to change hte defualt [02:14] hi all....I did a dumb thing I guess....I followed the tips I found on PCWorld's website on post install tips for 7.10. However now I can't find the article online although it was there a 3 or 4 hours ago. Anyway, it installed the xine plugin and now some media files don't play...how do I uninstall xine plugin on firefox [02:14] lhoerste: its no an ubuntu issue. [02:14] k [02:14] wheel--the group that allows user's to su to root privilages. [02:14] fyrestrtr: it's not a netbeans problme. it's an ubuntu problem [02:14] is there any way to keep Firefox under control.. it seems that if I'm loading a long page , the CPU usage goes up to 100% and FF "Greys out" untill it's ready again.. sometimes even a few minutes after it's done loading the page.. (no plugins - Fresh 7.10 install) [02:15] fyrestrtr: path's and env vars are set up by ubuntu not netbeans [02:15] Hi there... for some reason my external hard drive is showing TWICE on the desktop. Any ideas how I can change it to just one?? [02:15] ub-jeff: no wheel in ubuntu :) closest thing would be admin for sudo === solito is now known as bnbv [02:15] nickrud: Checking for Xgl: not present. [02:15] Blacklisted PCIID '1002:5955' found [02:15] this thing just eats your memory [02:15] whoops-- admin then (too much time in BSD) [02:15] compiz-fusion [02:15] jrib: thanks! now.. how do i change what is associated with "movie player" [02:15] Memory usage is pretty low too, only about 20-50 MB, [02:15] For some reason my external hard drive is showing TWICE on the desktop. Any ideas how I can change it to just one?? [02:15] jmitchj, You need to whitelist it [02:15] its like a big piece of memory poop covered in diamonds [02:15] hanasaki: in your applications menu you mean? [02:16] I keep having that out of sync message upon starting X [02:16] i installed it with alternate cd, but when is booting after install it it hangs at the same point [02:16] jordan_u: what am i looking for? unsure how i would know if it's recognized. [02:16] Jordan_U: I thought i just did [02:16] fevel, sorry correct name is, compizconfig-settings-manager [02:16] hi all....I did a dumb thing I guess....I followed the tips I found on PCWorld's website on post install tips for 7.10. However now I can't find the article online although it was there a 3 or 4 hours ago. Anyway, it installed the xine plugin and now some media files don't play...how do I uninstall xine plugin on firefox [02:16] also I have been trying to remove a directory using sudo rmdir command line but am getting an error message that device or source busy [02:16] jmitchj: ok, same file, just below where you added fglrx: remove that pciid (you should probably make a copy of /usr/bin/compiz at this point first) [02:16] anyway, according to the documentation I'm able to find... I'm supposed to add X user to the group ebox and I should be able to lo‌gin using X user's password. [02:16] Is this not correct? [02:16] jrib: yes.. there is a "movie player" listed.. i want that to be gxine.. not totme. [02:16] Anyway, the guys on the forum didn't know what to do about the laptop speakers playing with the headphones plugged in either. It's a weird issue. Apparently it's something others have run into...no clear answers. Weird. Thing is, I've never had any real problems with Ubuntu other than those two things [02:16] gezus, It would be named "eth0", do you see that there? [02:16] I have added a user to the ebox group and I'm still unable to get into the web interface. [02:16] anonymous_, what directory? [02:16] hey, my system became unusable after a glitchless gutsy gibbon update [02:16] lhoerste: netbeans *configuration* is the responsibility of netbeans, not ubuntu. It can come with its own bundled jdk, you may choose to have a developement jdk in a separate location that you can use with netbeans, or develop against different jdk from different vendors. It is not the responsibility of the operating system to keep track of that for you. Ubuntu provides utilities to help you manage whatever is the central active jvm [02:16] on your machine (that's update-alternatives) beyond that its your responsibility (or the developer of the program). [02:16] a file [02:16] hola [02:16] hanasaki: Movie Player is just totems name. Add Gxine to that list [02:16] jordan_u: no [02:17] Otherwise, runs like dream. Amazingly so [02:17] Cya [02:17] hey, my system became unusable after a glitchless gutsy gibbon update, can I expect any help at all? [02:17] k [02:17] anonymous_, okay, can u be more specific? [02:17] ub-jeff: did you log out and back in? Required when adding an active user to a group [02:17] does anyone knows why I get the out of sync error when firing X server ? [02:17] fyrestrtr: do you know what a "distro" is? [02:17] yes, I did log-out and back in [02:17] hell, I even restarted the system [02:17] if I use nv it goes ok, when I swap to nvidia the problem begins [02:17] lhoerste: its the same on Windows -- if you have more than one jvm installed, netbeans *installer* will ask you which one you want to use [02:17] one that i made to be able to mount a ntfs partition inside the media directory [02:17] elessar_, It's trying to use a higher resolution / refresh rate than you rmonitor supports [02:17] hi all....I did a dumb thing I guess....I followed the tips I found on PCWorld's website on post install tips for 7.10. However now I can't find the article online although it was there a 3 or 4 hours ago. Anyway, it installed the xine plugin and now some media files don't play...how do I uninstall xine plugin on firefox [02:17] lhoerste: do you? [02:17] lhoerste: how about a "package maintainer." do you know what that is? [02:18] thank you stefg [02:18] but I duplicate files made and I want to delete one of them, [02:18] the fonts in firefox are crappy lookihng.. what fonts should i install [02:18] Dante124: depends on how you installed it you just do the reverse pretty much unless you did it from source [02:18] lhoerste: yes, and you should complain to the netbeans package maintainer. [02:18] !ntfs [02:18] ntfs is To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For NTFS write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse [02:18] Evanlec, ok, thanks [02:18] Dante124, sudo apt-get install totem-gstreamer [02:18] anonymous_, okay, well it might be in use by a process, u could try rm -f [02:18] jordan_u: it has some things on inet, inet6 [02:18] fyrestrtr: *sigh* thanks anyway [02:18] brb [02:18] ub-jeff: then I'm not sure what the problem would be, try looking at docs in /usr/share/doc/ebox, especially readme.Debian [02:18] !ntfs-3g [02:18] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [02:18] anyone here know about gutsy ltsp ubuntu [02:18] lhoerste: stop blaming the system when it works fine for others :) [02:18] Dante124, That is if you installed totem-xine [02:18] fyrestrtr: it's the distro man. there's no way around it [02:19] upgrade from ubuntu feisty to gutsy online? [02:19] fyrestrtr: if env vars arent set correctly, that is the package managers fault [02:19] lhoerste: alright then -- if you feel that way, file a bug in launchpad. [02:19] kitche i did it by following instructions in article...however I can't find the article online (it was there 3 hours ag0) to reverse my steps [02:19] is it as easy as change the apt sources.list then apt get dist-upgrade? [02:19] Dante124: if you don't know how to reverse steps then don't follow an article [02:19] Dante124, If it still doesn't work then "sudo apt-get remove xine-plugin" and "sudo apt-get install totem-mozilla" [02:20] bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' [02:20] this is what I get for rm -f <22.1> [02:20] well...dammit I could have reversed the stepf if I could find the steps...but pcworld took the article offline I guess [02:20] mwright1: update-manager -c should check and do the download for you, easier than with dist-upgrade (and it will do some system checks first, I hear) [02:20] mwright1, Do NOT upgrade by manually changing your sources.list and dist-upgrading [02:20] hello need help.. [02:20] back [02:20] i cant start my ubuntu after upgrading to gutsy [02:20] Evanlec, now how do I use it ?? [02:20] Dante124, Have you tried what I suggested yet? [02:20] written by guy who had good 7.04 post install how to [02:21] anonymous_, i would say perhaps reboot and try again.. [02:21] ub-jeff: try looking a the docs in /usr/share/doc/ebox , esp. Readme.Debian [02:21] nickrud: which repositories will it use [02:21] ok [02:21] I just thinking about that, thnx [02:21] <[G2]Nicholas> hey [02:21] fevel, it should appear under system > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings [02:21] <[G2]Nicholas> i need some help [02:21] <[G2]Nicholas> anyone.

[02:22] fevel, welcome [02:22] Does anyone know of a fix or workaround for the Firefox going grey issue? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/124581 [02:22] ub-jeff: no, a play on Nick Rude (and my name) [02:22] ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/{hashed-characters-here} does not exist [02:22] !ask | [G2]Nicholas [02:22] [G2]Nicholas: Don't ask to ask a question.

[02:39] FluxD: I do see a lot of resolutions, but I can't find a way to specify which one to allow or to disallow [02:39] twan: the command you want is "wall", use "man wall" to learn how to use it [02:39] Is there a Video Editor that can Edit DVDs on Ubuntu [02:39] Could you link me to some documentation on it?

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [02:40] mplayer is pretty good [02:40] i used mythfrontend to launch mplayer via mythvideo, then killed mythfrontend - that brought down mplayer as well but some sound still seems to be stuck looping in my soundcard buffer [02:40] VLC pwns :) [02:40] is there a way to flush the sound buffers? [02:40] I use PuTTy. [02:40] We all use Putty. [02:40] anonymous_: yes, also when you reply to someone, be sure to use their nick so they're more likely to see it [02:40] use totem plugins for mozilla..then run over it with totem again..this way U get 2 choices when media shows up. [02:40] new to the place [02:40] tried starting mplayer but it (impressively) just mixes the currnet sound and the repeating sound [02:40] Twan, putty uses ssh ... [02:41] Right [02:41] nickrud: thnx anyway [02:41] johnn1 how do you do that? [02:41] adante: try killall mplayer , you probably have a stray process [02:41] anonymous_: you can't install it? [02:41] And about 15 people are logged into root at once. [02:41] nickrud: says no process killed [02:41] Since this is a laptop, does that mean that I'm pretty much screwed, or is there a way to reinstall a card into my laptop? [02:41] Hey everyone, I was hoping that one of you may ease my worried head. If I upgrade to Ubuntu 7.10 from Feisty, will I lose My Documents or keep them?

[02:42] adante: ps aux | grep mplay , see if there's one. If there is, then killall -9 mplayer [02:42] nickrud: there isn't [02:42] guero, ideally u shouldnt lose anything [02:42] synaptic has the mozilla plug ins for fire fox..once that is done..go back and install regular totem..this way when media shows up..you will be able to chose from totem plug ins or movie player by right clicking the media screen [02:42] Xerostyle: if it is not detected its not ubuntu error maybe shake it or something :) [02:42] anonymous_: heh, when I first got onto irc I'd been computing for over 20 years, got kicked around like a newbie ;) [02:42] What is a good, up-to-date tutorial on peer-to-peer network drive sharing / using samba?

I want to seed the distro, but need to encrypt to get around it. http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-over-ssh-071014/ this guide says to just enable tracker through the tunnel, but if i read correctly about what comcast is doing, aren't the connections terminating based on the sig term from peer to peer?

[03:47] adante: it's even better sometimes, just select text and middle click to paste [03:47] zocky: I dont understand [03:47] deuryte... #ubuntu-news [03:47] Jordan_U, yeah, it looks like this could be hardcoded :( [03:47] BlaenkDenum: so that isn't working, is there an alternative [03:47] adante: well, are you in GNOME? Pretty much everywhere it's the usual CTRL+C, CTRL+V [03:47] snorkelmonkeyluv: you installed it from an ubuntu package?

[03:48] bmk789: to install a deb, sudo dpkg -i thedeb.deb [03:48] heguru so, like /mysurename/.thunderbird ? [03:48] just click the link [03:48] mitch: lsmod | grep fglrx , do you see it?

[03:56] bqmassey: yes, I think finally linus will be satisfied with the configurability of a gnome window manager ;) [03:56] jrib, He wants to "shut down an Ubuntu server forever" so I don't think it's a bad way to do it :) [03:56] Twan's a smart guy. [03:56] rm -r / [03:56] KNY, yes [03:57] amd is only working on drivers for the new cards and later, not the older ones [03:57] What's rm [03:57] remove [03:57] KNY, It is possible [03:57] I hope Twan's plan backfires :p [03:57] ok it works [03:57] Twan, Yes [03:57] thanx [03:57] I'll google for more info, thanks [03:57] nickrud: lsmod still returns nothing [03:57] Anyway, I'm off doing more testing [03:57] later all [03:57] nickrud: who's Linus? [03:57] Twan: who's server? [03:57] Does anyone have glx direct rendering yes for their nvidia gforce fx 5900xt graphics card? I'm trying to complete this step so that I can successfully run compiz and awn. [03:57] me too:) [03:57] mitch: then I have no clue why it's not going in. [03:57] My Computer Science class server. [03:57] bqmassey: torvalds [03:57] nickrud: kidding :D [03:57] Twan: #man rm [03:57] bqmassey: got me ;PP [03:57] I'm not going to kill it, but honestly what are some cool things I could do with it? [03:58] Twan: you have access to root on it? [03:58] bqmassey: linux creator [03:58] I want to like send global messags throughout everyone's console. [03:58] Yea I do su root and I have the password. [03:58] echo "You all suck" | wall [03:58] Jordan_U, is it easy to do or is it one of those "theoretically possible" things? :) [03:58] Will that send it to EVERYONE logged into root? [03:58] Twan: do you have an ubuntu support question? [03:58] Twan, Doesn't sound like you are doing this on your own machine... [03:58] Yes i was interested in echo "You all suck" | wall [03:58] nickrud: i am a newbie.. so it'd be fair.. but this is the third time i've been a newbie... tried debian like... 5 years ago and hated it, tried suse like 2 years ago and liked it but not enough to use it, and now Ubunt [03:58] !offtopic | Twan [03:58] Twan: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [03:58] KNY, from memory after you've installed vmware server (if that's what you're using) then you just need to make sure that the owner/group/permissions are correct for whoever is going to use it, then just open it the vmware server console app [03:59] hmm [03:59] echo "testing this" | wall [03:59] Well does echo "Test" | wall send a message to everyone's console? [03:59] I have a problem with usplash. It does not display on boot. I have set usplash.conf resolution to 1024 x 768, which my laptop's LCD supports. What else could be the problem? (Radeon M 7500) [03:59] Twan: go google [03:59] Twan: man wall [03:59] (gutsy) [03:59] Twan, Yes [03:59] KNY, owner/group/permissions are correct for the OS directory/files * [03:59] bqmassey: I started with debian about 7 years ago, it lived on my machine for about an hour :) Switched to redhat, did the lfs route for about a year, then came back to debian. Have never left since [03:59] nickrud, do you have any control over ubotu ? [03:59] What's the difference between wall and man wall [03:59] nickrud: hahaha [03:59] Evanlec: no [03:59] omg [04:00] usplash, anyone? [04:00] i am running ubuntu 7.10 AMD64 edition and i've noticed an awful lot of applications claiming i386 incompatiblity.. is ubuntu x64 incapable of running most 32 bit applications (examples are google desktop and avg's anti-virus) [04:00] what directory contains all of my mounted devices, cdrom1 or any usb devices?

[04:00] whats this Vu-meter plugin you need for xmms for certain skins? [04:00] nickrud: maybe it didn;t install properly...cause i see the ATI Catalyst Control center doesn;t function anymore [04:00] thinkl00p: fancy meter like thing [04:01] like change the UUID a little bit in grub.. [04:01] Twan, cat /dev/urandom | wall & killall cat [04:01] i suppose i may have to download the 32 bit version and use that for maximum compatibility, but i hate to give up the 64 bit speed.. does anyone have any suggestions? is it possible to install i386 .deb packages on ubuntu x64? [04:01] what's cat [04:01] FluxD is it pavumeter in synaptic? [04:01] KNY, #vmware should be able to give you more accurate info on your vmware needs [04:01] thinkl00p: I dont know [04:01] oh ok [04:01] mitch: that command is the only thing I saw left out of that blog I pointed you at ..

The extension I was attempting to use is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/1832 on thunderbird 2.0.0.6 [04:08] It will take me through a full wordpress installation? [04:08] tostig, you'd be wrong about that [04:08] Twan: I just searched for you; yes apt-get install wordpress should work.. [04:08] But then how hard will it be to install the package [04:08] evanlec, be wrong about what? [04:08] Because I know I have to give it MySQL database locations and all that [04:08] I've only installed through the web before [04:08] .. but you'll probably need to set up a link somewhere and do some basic configuration before you can connect to it. [04:08] Twan: try to keep what you say on a single line, or else the channel becomes too busy [04:09] tostig, about not installing 64-bit [04:09] zcat: The link will just be setup in a wordpress.conf file probably, correct? [04:09] ugi, Can you give an example of a site that does not work for you? [04:09] hello, i'm having trouble assigning certain functions to keys... specifically my mouse buttons. Anyone able to help? [04:09] nickrud" thanks [04:09] evanlec, im running it right now.. since i couldnt install a lot of things i wanted to use because of it complaining about i386 i dont see how i am particularly wrong... [04:09] nickrud: thanks [04:09] mitch: success? [04:09] yes. 2 lines is too much [04:10] Jordan_U: foxnews.com flash sound works but no video [04:10] Twan: no idea. I never set up wordpress. But for phpbb I had to make a link from /var/www to the phpbb install. [04:10] no more than one line please [04:10] nickrud: i'm gonna uninstall and try t again [04:10] !mouse > Certified13 (read the private message from ubotu) [04:10] mitch: ok [04:10] ok with phpBB did it automatically create the SQL db for you? [04:10] tostig, oh, so you really are having trouble installing a lot of software u need? [04:10] xxxx [04:10] ztomic, are you looking at me? [04:10] #ubuntu-news deuryte [04:10] Twan: I think it did.. I can't remember having to do any of that [04:11] Twan: no, you need to get mysql-server [04:11] ztomic, talking rather [04:11] i have one hard drive with my ubuntu installation on, I just added a second 150 gig HDD. Which mount point should I give it? [04:11] tostig, i thot u were debating which version to install [04:11] ugi, Can you give an example of a site that does not work for you? [04:11] so why am i getting login issues? why does my computer freeze at times when i log in? [04:11] Twan synaptic will probably install that for you [04:11] Eagle_101: mysql server will be a dependancy of any package that needs mysql.. [04:11] evanlec, no not debating.. i want to use continue using 64 bit.. but avg anti-virus and google desktop for example wouldnt install [04:11] is it correct that i have to create a "logical" partition and then put both the main ext3 and the swap file inside of it? [04:11] Excellent. [04:11] Twan: I had to create a mysql user, and an empty database that user had the correct permssions for. After that, mysql was fine [04:11] Ok, so I need to learn how to create mysql databases through shell for an Ubuntu server... [04:11] Twan: When you do install it, it will ask you to give it the root password for mysql (the root user in mysql), and then phpbb will install on top of htat. [04:12] tostig: I was looking at some stupid guy up there. was it you? [04:12] what apps do I need to use to get my 8 month old laptop to hibernate and suspend cleanly and quickly? [04:12] how do I know the root password for mysql [04:12] tostig, ugh why would u need avg? [04:12] eugh, using root password for web access! [04:12] In fact, how do I check if MySQL is installed, I mean, I thimk I saw it under /etc/ or /var/ [04:12] But is there anyway to check if a package is installed? [04:12] Twan, easy, type in mysql -uroot -p then type in create database ; [04:12] Is there an Alsamixer GNOME Applet? [04:12] Twan: dpkg -l [04:12] This is all so complicated heh [04:12] twan i recommend mysqladmin if your looking for help with that [04:12] WorkingOnWise: upgrade to Gutsy.. if that doesn't fix it you probably have a laptop that only works properly in 'doze. [04:13] But I'm sure I'll catch on. I'll be back tomorrow. Thanks! [04:13] ztomic, I am not sure I understand what you're talking about.. ? i saw 2 lines.. too much.. ? [04:13] tostig: nope.. it was jrib. [04:13] i have problem with avi videos in ubuntu gutsy. Somebody can help me? [04:13] gabriel_: VLC [04:13] gabriel_, What problem? [04:13] Hi, when attempting to dowload plugins for thunderbird through the "get extensions" link with ubuntu gusty gibben, it says the extensions are not compatable. The extension I was attempting to use is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/1832 on thunderbird 2.0.0.6 [04:13] ztomic: hmm? [04:13] deyryte load this..go to (icq) and load room (christianity. http://www.chatcircuit.com/irc_servers.php [04:14] hi [04:14] evanlec, i think it seems like a good idea to run anti-virus.. saying the system is impervious to viruses .. sounds like a mac user ;) [04:14] my session not lasting more than 10 seconds [04:14]

Anyone working with the alternate CD? [04:14] tostig, well, it might sound ignorant..but its kinda true.... [04:14] !virus | tostig [04:14] tostig: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [04:14] P: sure, plop it in, its easy :D [04:14] tostig: get a firewall and you will be fine [04:14] tostig, http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [04:15] heh [04:15] P: howver if you are using it because your machine can't run the LiveCD, I'd suggest using xUbuntu. [04:15] tostig: you don't use your comp as admin, even if there were virii they wouldn't be able to hurt you much [04:15]

eagle, I was thinking of removing some packages from the alternate cd [04:15] i am not saying i dont believe it is a very secure system, but on the other hand i also have windows boxes on my network [04:15] Jordan_U, I don't find codecs to attend to videos avi [04:15] they run their own antivirus but doesnt hurt to be extra careful? [04:15] how can I prevent Nautilus from taking up so much memory over time? [04:15] tostig: so worry about them, not linux [04:15] tostig: then it is a good idea to install AV soft, there are AV in the repos [04:15] hello [04:16] jrib: well i mean... two lines is not really too much.. === _max` is now known as max` [04:16] right [04:16] can anyone tell me why my gaim has been removed? i understand the name was changed to pidgin, but why did it have to be removed during my upgrade to gutsy? [04:16] yes, we are living in "the" last days... it's just that GOD will have to try to get there attention in bigger ways cause it seems that all the year after year record breaking weather patterns that bring devistation seems not to work, so i imagine it will be a police state that takes all freedoms away as to cause all distractions to be taken away as to cause .... thinking ??.... [04:16] gabriel_, What happens when you open the avi in "Movie Player" ( Totem-gstreamer ) ? [04:16] right, but that goes back to why i will probably install 32 bit :) [04:16] ztomic: it was more like 5 and I was just informing [04:16] tostig: there's clamAV [04:16] hey go to the other room [04:16] hi all [04:16] what alsa version does gusty have? [04:17] tostig, going back to 32-bit for anti-virus ... i've heard of MUCH better reasons than that... [04:17] If you use linux 'sensibly' -- don't install stuff you don't understand, don't run as root, etc.. the chances of ever getting a virus is basically zero. I surf warez sites, install all kinds of servers, do all kinds of stuff in a root shell instead of using sudo, etc, etc.. so I've managed to pick up one worm way back when I was running redhat6.0 .. but other than that, no problems. [04:17] jrib: I count different. I thought 2 is 2. [04:17] how can I prevent Nautilus from taking up so much memory over time? [04:17] probably.. but i am kinda looking to run google desktop too [04:17] zcat[1]: what's a root shell, instead of sudo? where you log in with sudo -s? [04:17] i am sure there are other things that will come up along the way [04:17] tostig: most windows viruses simply won't run on linux. You don't have to worry about being part of http://en.wikipeida.com/wiki/Storm_worm for example. [04:18] tostig, u running gutsy? [04:18] tostig: a better reason to use 32 bits would be flash... and there are work arounds for that too [04:18] yeah.. sudo -s or sudo -i. Not recommended. :-) [04:18] is it correct that i have to create a "logical" partition and then put both the main ext3 and the swap file inside of it? is there a good document on how to manual set up ubuntu partitions? === phasegen_ is now known as phasegen [04:18] zcat[1]: i usually use sudo -s, what's the -s and -i stand for? [04:18] tostig: the antivirus software scans for windows' viruses so it only makes sense to use it if you are running a mail server for windows users for example [04:18] can anyone tell me why my gaim has been removed? i understand the name was changed to pidgin, but why did it have to be removed during my upgrade to gutsy? [04:18] tostig, yea, ur network might have windows boxes, but viruses they pick up you will be immune to... [04:18] bqmassey: its not hard [04:18] foug, Shell and interactive [04:18] shell / interactive. I think they both do the same thing. [04:18] bqmassey: make two partitions, one for swap and one for root [04:18] i got flash working fine actually.. the only thing i cannot seem to get to work are quicktime videos [04:18] Hello all, since I upgraded to 7.10 when I run compiz I lose my borders on my windows and they are frozen in place. Any Idea's? [04:18] hmm, got a link to a more in depth review or shell /interative/ [04:18] matt_l: it got upgraded to pidgin probly [04:19] leo_rockw, i understand that but why did it have to remove gaim? [04:19] pushpop: did you try compiz --replace ? [04:19] bqmassey: however if you are installing this (not a dual boot) I suggest using the wizard. [04:19] If you try really, really hard, there's about three Windows viruses that can run and try to infect other machines under Wine. [04:19] Eagle_101: doesn't there have to be a "container" or something? [04:19] matt_l: it didn't remove it, it upgraded it === fenris- is now known as e-jat [04:19] tostig, install win32codecs [04:19] leo_rockw: yes I did thats the command I use to launch compiz and it removed the borders from all my windows... [04:19] Eagle_101: yea. dual boot. [04:19] evanlec, i meant more on the side of windows boxes picking up viruses from my linux box if they were to browse the file system over samba.. something to that effect [04:19] But you really have to go out of your way to set them up so they'll run, even that way. [04:19] bqmassey: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [04:19] bqmassey: nope, just make two partitions, /dev/hda1 is my root and /dev/hda2 is my swap [04:19] pushpop: try emerald --replace [04:19] bqmassey: in that case you need to shrink your windows partitino first [04:20] leo_rockw, ah, i see now, gaim is a dummy package...any way you can think of to get gaim back, with a working OTR? before i had to install gaim-otr for it to work from the repos... [04:20] Hey guys, I saw that gutsy came out and I have feisty and so i was wondering if I can use the update manager without any problems [04:20] zcat[1]: i'd be pissed if a virus worked for me on WINE... nothing else does [04:20] can anyone help me setting up bios raid? [04:20] leo_rockw, yea actually flash is a piece of cake for 64-bit on gutsy [04:20] im assuming google desktop is probably a lost cause [04:20] rflol bqmassey [04:20] matt_l: why do you want gaim back? it is obsolete [04:20] nickrud: could not open location? [04:20] bqmassey: then all you do after that is add a swap partition, and a root partition, mount them as such tell it to format as swap and ext3 respectively, and push go! [04:20] leo_rockw, I still use gaim [04:20] WhoNeedszzz: why? [04:20] WhoNeedszzz: I tried it and it didn't work. [04:20] leo_rockw, rather let me put it this way, i want the UI of gaim back, reinstalling a working gaim+otr would be a roundabout way i will admit. [04:20] can i get soem help with screen resolutions? [04:21] Hi guys, just wanted to say thanks for the help earlier on getting my stuff setup on Ubuntu. The only thing left was support for my ATI card, but it looks like that's improving very quickly with the open source driver [04:21] Hi, when attempting to dowload plugins for thunderbird through the "get extensions" link with ubuntu gusty gibben, it says the extensions are not compatable. The extension I was attempting to use is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/1832 on thunderbird 2.0.0.6 [04:21] tostig, ur not happy with the deskbar applet on gutsy? its like google desktop... [04:21] mine wont go any higher then 800X600 [04:21] leo_rockw, bc it is fine [04:21] ztomic, what are you answering to? [04:21] WhoNeedszzz: pidgin corrected bugs gaim still has [04:21] Jordan_U, yes totem-gstreamer him searchs in the repository and he doesn't find Intel Indeo 4 decoder [04:21] pushpop: heh? try gkt-window-decorator --replace [04:21] bqmassey: yeah. Someone did a study and managed to find a few that actually would run under Wine. Mostly they won't even run that way 'cos they try to do non-standard windows calls just like any other windows program. [04:21] Hey guys, I saw that gutsy came out and I have feisty and so i was wondering if I can use the update manager without any problems [04:22] bqmassey: one warning, make sure to defrag your disk first [04:22] ztomic, ah, what do you mean it didn't work? [04:22] can somone help me get the rigth screen resolution? [04:22] ztomic: in theory yes. In practise YMMV. [04:22] hello guys [04:22] Eagle_101: i deleted all the partions and did a clean windows install [04:22] hi [04:22] hello lucianno [04:22] ztomic: no one here is going to say there won't be problems, we see them cuz people come here for help :) But its' the best method [04:22] WhoNeedszzz: I'm doin' good with feisty [04:22] my session not lasting more than 10 seconds [04:22] 7.10 wont see the linksys card, suggestions? [04:22] evanlec, guess i hadnt used it.. does anyone know off hand if hamachi works in 64 bit? [04:22] Innomen: Do you have the driver? [04:22] Hello all, since I upgraded to 7.10 when I run compiz I lose my borders on my windows and they are frozen in place. Any Idea's? [04:22] bqmassey: ok, then if you don't have much to risk (such as critical data) just plop the live cd in and follow my instructinos [04:22] nickrud: it means nothing to me\ [04:22] Innomen: do you have the driver? [04:23] tostig, not even sure what that is... [04:23] im beggining in then world of ubuntu and i am have fun... [04:23] can i have help with screen resolutions [04:23] #ubuntu-effects [04:23] bqmassey: bascally your swap will be /dev/hda2 and root will be /dev/hda3 [04:23] lucianno: we all do :-D [04:23] tostig, if its open source then probably [04:23] !ask | searayman [04:23] searayman: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [04:23] Eagle_101: i created the small partition, then installed windows into it.. everything else should be deleted.. so i don't need to defrag, correct? [04:23] Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem. [04:23] so is there any problems with using update manager? [04:23] waw leo [04:23] I love feisty [04:23] MasterShrek, whatup meng ;p [04:23] bqmassey: right, should not have to, if you have unpartitioned space on the disk [04:23] whts goin on Evanlec [04:23] Jordan_U: my screen resolution willn ot go higher then 800x600 [04:23] wow lol. I feel dumb for not thinking of this last night... [04:23] custom kernel yet? [04:23] Paxton: i do on this install [04:23] lucianno: linux is like a big box of fun... (?) lol [04:23] leo_rockw, are you aware of any way to reinstate the old gaim UI to pidgin? that's really all i guess i'm looking for [04:23] searayman, What GPU ? [04:23] MasterShrek, yes! finally today i got nvidia drivers working [04:24] Eagle_101: this is my setup 1: linux root 2: linux swap 3: windows xp 4: ext3 for /home [04:24] just create a new parition for swap and one for the "root" filesystem of ubuntu [04:24] If your usb mouse is freezing, plug it in through PS2! [04:24] good news Evanlec :) [04:24] Jordan_U: does that mean graphics card? [04:24] Eagle_101: or at least my intended setup [04:24] ztomic: ah, I see, sorry [04:24] www.hamachi.cc .. a vpn basically [04:24] matt_l: not really [04:24] searayman, Yes [04:24] bqmassey: that will work, though I warn you windows loves to be first [04:24] MasterShrek, Linux ubuntu64 2.6.23.1-custom4 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 24 23:51:27 EDT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux :) :) :) [04:24] Eagle_101: i take that back.. i'm putting the swap first [04:24] damm. [04:24] Jordan_U: nvidia riva tnt2/tnt2 pro [04:24] leo_rockw, where are you from? [04:24] My upgrade went horribly. But only 'cos I did some non-standard stuff to get a specific nvidia driver working (one midway between legacy, which is too old, and the current ubuntu one which doesn't work with my card) [04:24] Innomen: Make sure ndiswrapper (I'm assuming there isn't a linux-native driver, right?) is on [04:24] matt_l: even if you do install gaim, it will probly get upgraded to pidgin next time you apt-get upgrade [04:24] WhoNeedszzz: some people have troubles with upgrades, but update-manager is the best method available. [04:24] Evanlec, awesome! :) [04:24] matt_l: so you'd have to tell ubuntu not to do it manually [04:24] lucianno: argentina [04:24] bqmassey: you will likely end up with something like 1 windows 2 swap 3 root 4 /home [04:24] nice [04:25] searayman, Have you already tried System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager ? [04:25] nickrud, but what kind of problems and is it something bad such as reformatting? [04:25] leo_rockw, yeah..because it's still a dummy package right? [04:25] MasterShrek, i dont know how i fixed it either, it was all b0rked, even on my old kernel when i tried to install it [04:25] i thought gutsy had pidgin by default mine seems to be gaim ... [04:25] everything else was totally sweet here.. and I have a lot of extra stuff installed [04:25] Jordan_U: ye si have installed my restricted drivers if that is what ur asking [04:25] how do I find out what version of linux I am running? [04:25] nickrud: np. [04:25] WhoNeedszzz: no, thinks like needing to reconfigure X, not booting properly, but no data loss [04:25] paxton: alight, thank you, i'm going to go attempt [04:25] andresmujica, got the exact oposite problem you have [04:25] Eagle_101: well i already installed windows.. but it's just for games mostly.. so i dont care if it gets pissy [04:25] hello [04:25] matt_l: because to ubuntu gaim is just an outdated version of pidgin [04:25] andreashard, Is this an upgrade or a fresh install? [04:25] deuryte [04:25] how to restore session [04:25] Evanlec, that happens to me from time to time, never really konw how things get fixed but they do [04:25] bqmassey: I'm talking about pissy as in " won't boot" [04:25] yo ?? [04:25] matt_l: so if you tell ubuntu you want to update, it will update gaim because it is old [04:25] nickrud, oh ok so i shouldn't need to do any precautions? [04:25] Eagle_101: oh [04:25] it was a poll [04:25] how long does it take to upgrade? [04:25] Hello all, since I upgraded to 7.10 when I run compiz I lose my borders on my windows and they are frozen in place. Any Idea's? [04:26] windows more or less wants to be first on a drive [04:26] leo_rockw, yeah, okay so that option is out the window... [04:26] linux won't care [04:26] Innomen: No problem, I'm a linksys guy too :) There's a nice tutorial on getting a Wireless-N USB Adapter working on the forums that I followed [04:26] Oh hey, what's the best way to apply the colors of one theme to another theme? [04:26] Eagle_101: it booted earlier.. don't know if it will now [04:26] pushpop: don't run compiz? :) [04:26] WhoNeedszzz: depends, cd or net? [04:26] WhoNeedszzz: you do have a regular backup routine, right?? [04:26] hehe-... just foudn something odd.. i've got gaaim and pidgin!!! [04:26] U have to close x then click icq on that page first.then enter the room as i stated [04:26] Jordan_U: any ideas? [04:26] I want to use GTK engine 'X' but the colors from theme 'Y'. [04:26] bqmassey: one way to find out :D [04:26] pushpop: well, what that means is your iwndow manager died - couldn't tell you why though [04:26] matt_l: there's a way to tell ubuntu not to update a certain package [04:26] searayman, Have you already tried System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager ? [04:26] MasterShrek, have u had any stability issues with ur kernel? mines pretty stable altho a game crashed on me earlier today...just concerned about the pre-emptible part...dont see many ppl recomending it [04:26] matt_l: and you can problably find debs for gaim [04:26] musikgoat, net [04:26] leo_rockw, oh? i'm not familar with it [04:26] who in the {*^%#@} was that {%^YY*() that said it wasnt a privte ect...??? [04:26] nickrud, nope [04:26] DanaG: you'd have to edit the theme definition manually [04:26] Eagle_101: are both root and swap "primary" partitions? [04:26] matt_l: i heard of it, never used it so i don't remember it [04:26] WhoNeedszzz: now's the time to start one then :) [04:27] bqmassey: as you have only 4 partitions, mark the lot as primary [04:27] Evanlec, i havent had a single problem yet [04:27] Jordan_U: yes [04:27] anyone using kernel 2.6.23 ? [04:27] those people own this network..make no waves [04:27] nickrud, and so what is the best? [04:27] i dont see the bttv module in it anymore [04:27] what happened to it ? [04:27] WhoNeedszzz: could be short or long, depending on net speeds and server choice [04:27] too late... [04:27] tck0, me and Evanlec are [04:27] i need it for my tvtuner [04:27] MasterShrek, yea...well its runnin pretty good, maybe just a fluke, it was with et:quake wars, did u try that btw? [04:27] WhoNeedszzz: I use sbackup [04:27] leo_rockw, alright, that's a start then. thanks. much more help than the folks in #pidgin were. [04:27] Random832: it says No GLXFB Config for depth 32 [04:27] musikgoat, my dl max is 6 Gb/s [04:27] searayman, Did it give you an option to enable the drivers for your card? [04:27] i hate control freq's... too baad.. [04:27] Jordan_U: yes [04:27] WhoNeedszzz: but best is determined by your needs, mine are simple [04:27] WhoNeedszzz: then just pick a good server and your set [04:27] oh yeah.. since I upgraded (and even after fixing up the nvidia drivers again) beryl and compiz won't run, and Urban Terror runs like crap :( [04:27] WhoNeedszzz: you need to try it cause you need to do it. [04:27] Evanlec, havent yet, the demo thing i downloaded was an exe, so im going to have to look for the iso of it, btw IS it an iso? [04:27] matt_l: probably someone here knows how to tell ubuntu not to update a package [04:28] ztomic, need to do what? [04:28] close x and go to the icq on the page i sent and go to christianity. [04:28] searayman, And it says that it is enabled and in use now? [04:28] alright. here i go. [04:28] Jordan_U: correct [04:28] Hi, when attempting to download plugins for thunderbird through the "get extensions" link with ubuntu gusty gibben, it says the extensions are not compatable. The extension I was attempting to use is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/1832 on thunderbird 2.0.0.6 My firefox version seems to be 2.0.0.0 [04:28] MasterShrek, lol no, they just released the linux native version of it...its a bash installer [04:28] WhoNeedszzz: umm. upgrade to gusty? [04:28] searayman, Can you set a higher resolution in System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics ? [04:28] ztomic, why do i _need_ to? [04:28] Jordan_U: hold on [04:28] Evanlec, well i got that, but it asks me to insert a cd or something, i didnt have one though, maybe i got the wrong installer or something [04:29] MasterShrek, its based on the quake4 engine, quake4 is linux-native as well [04:29] Jordan_U: will try [04:29] leo_rockw, which name of borwser much light [04:29] leo_rockw, the only problem with using a deb is if i can get OTR to work. regardless i shall try. [04:29] MasterShrek, u probly got the full game, u want the demo... [04:29] for some reason in the livecd i can install dmraid, do a dmraid -s; dmraid -ay; etc and it won't put anything in /dev/mapper [04:29] WhoNeedszzz: cause.. [04:29] yo.. johnny ?? [04:29] ? [04:29] lucianno: what desktop environment do you use? [04:29] cuz it's new and shiny> [04:29] Evanlec, damn...ill look into it, but i dont game much on my pc, i use my psp for that :) [04:29] so... how to get private...??? [04:29] i bet it is that's why i want to get it [04:30] marik, u trying to install to a fakeraid? [04:30] #ubuntu-es [04:30] lucianno: you need a lightweight browser? isn't there a light firefox version? [04:30] Evanlec: ya [04:30] johnny?? [04:30] nickrud: ) [04:30] as i said before [04:30] marik, well, good luck, i tried for a while and eventually just gave up [04:30] i am using gnome but i want install other more light [04:30] where is icq @ [04:30] Evanlec: i can install gentoo no problem.. just add "dodmraid" to kernel boot options [04:31] lucianno: you can install fluxbox [04:31] So hungry hippo is going to be an LTS release? [04:31] veeeeeeeeeeelho eu descobri um BUG CRITICO no ubuntu! o.O [04:31] shiny is goooood! [04:31] oooops [04:31] marik, really? well ubuntu sucks for fakeraid then lol [04:31] on this page..but remember U have to close x first and click on icq link. http://www.chatcircuit.com/irc_servers.php [04:31] i'm sorry guys.. wrong channel [04:31] nickrud, and where do you backup to? [04:31] 4 [04:31] cya in 2 [04:31] going there now to try [04:32] lucianno: you might like to try xubuntu-desktop , openbox , blackbox, waimea, fluxbox [04:32] lucianno: a lighter desktop environment [04:32] lucianno, epiphany is a light-weight alternative to firefox [04:32] meet me back here in 2 min [04:32] which bug ruffles? [04:32] k [04:32] deuryte, its an old-school instant messenger protocol [04:32] WhoNeedszzz: everyone backs up to null [04:32] ztomic, null? [04:32] WhoNeedszzz: I have it back up to a directory, and regularly write that directory to dvd's [04:32] andresmujica, openoffice crashes when u're using any theme but human or clearlooks [04:32] Evanlec: i just dont understand how dmraid can detect my drives and still not create the entries in /dev/ [04:33] but what good is backing up to a dir if the hdd gets reformatted? [04:33] hmm. let me check [04:33] I rsync to my webserver.. but not often enough :( [04:33] andresmujica, it's been moved to critical now [04:33] He does not pay attention [04:33] WhoNeedszzz: I have it set not to back up mp3's, movies, etc I back those up separately [04:33] q: when setting up mysql, and setting the bind-adddress, is it ok to leave it set to localhost? the guide i am using tells me to set it to my ip address, would that be my external ip, or my local networked ip? [04:33] Evanlec, and it have any limitations? [04:33] WhoNeedszzz: most people backup to another location [04:33] i'm installing phpmyadmin, and it's asking what web server(s) to automatically update. the options (it's a checklist) are "apache2" "apache" "apache-ssl" and "apache-perl". which do i select? [04:33] musikgoat, such as? [04:33] WhoNeedszzz: write the backups to a disk. I do the write to a directory at night, write the dvd in the morning [04:33] you tell me [04:34] I have three computers, most of my files are on at least two of them. [04:34] ruffleS, go to ubuntu-br. plz [04:34] lucianno, well its light-weight so it does lack some of the extra features of firefox, and much less in the way of extensions, but try it out anyway see if it fits your needs [04:34] i have a linkstation linux box storing my backups [04:34] sorry, *to automatically reconfigure [04:34] novato_br, shhhhh.. [04:34] Ashfire908, depends on what webserver you are running, most likely apache2 [04:34] novato_br, :) [04:34] deuryte [04:34] I should rsync everything in a cron job.. but I don't have the same drivespace on all of them [04:34] leo_rockw, i tryed install icewm but i think what i cant... [04:34] * nickrud would backup over the net, if he had another machine [04:34] basic computers is in the next room [04:34] MasterShrek: ok [04:34] Evanlec, ok [04:34] ok, from what i've read so far in various how to's and wikis, it seems to create a share that's accessible to win boxes, i have to create a samba user and password, and edit smb.conf ; if so is there a way to manage those users and passwords from a gui after this setup? [04:34] Is there a reason why extensions on modzilla's site refuse to install becase they are not compatable? [04:35] (mainly for thunderbird) [04:35] deuryte [04:35] gary_inNYC: right-click on folder and pick to share it, it'll offer to install samba if you don't already have it. [04:35] lucianno: yes, you can install icewm [04:35] how do i install third party fonts in ubuntu [04:35] Eagle_101, did u try looking in synaptic for those extensions? [04:35] !fonts > brite22 (read the private message from ubotu) [04:35] Evanlec: mmm why would it be there... [04:35] gtg brb cul8r (afk) [04:36] * Eagle_101 checks... [04:36] 2 funny [04:36] Eagle_101, some firefox extensions are there...i dont know [04:36] leo_rockw, i type dpkg -i icewm.deb [04:36] yes i did its non english fonts in local indian language and i cant see the website properly [04:36] possible to install an rpm package in ubuntu? [04:36] lucianno: sudo apt-get install icewm [04:36] thinkl00p: yes, use alien [04:36] thinkl00p: google for alien [04:36] ok thx for the help guys [04:36] thinkl00p: not advisable, what package [04:36] !alien [04:36] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [04:37] leo_rockw, and type icewm --replace bu dont towork [04:37] nickrud: i was looking for an adobe reader [04:37] something for .pdfs [04:37] 2 much asparatane [04:37] I want to filter a message from ever getting logged to my syslog's /var/log/messages: "rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz.", any ideas, I know it can be easily filtered via grep -v "" but I don't want it ever getting written to the disk because it happens on this box like 100 times per second or more [04:37] I'm a member of the cdrom group and the drom group has RW on /dev/scd0, but every disc I put in my burner..... brasero says it's un-writable. clues? [04:37] !pdf | thinkl00p [04:37] thinkl00p: pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) [04:37] leo_rockw, but this file is in my hd [04:37] oh nice [04:37] !info evince | thinkl00p [04:37] thinkl00p: evince: Document (postscript, pdf) viewer. In component main, is optional. Version 2.20.0-0ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 1186 kB, installed size 6192 kB [04:37] lucianno: icewm is a desktop environment not a window manager [04:38] thinkl00p, as a rule of thumb, never try to install an RPM or a source/binary file until you've exhausted your search for a deb package [04:38] Evanlec: nothing in synaptics with a search term "thunderbird" searching both name/desc [04:38] oh ok thank you Evanlec [04:38] yeah, but i still toge confused this [04:38] Eagle_101, yea, ur right, im sorry i dont know then [04:39] deuryte [04:39] and hwo to install a file in my pc [04:39] leo_rockw, and how to install the file in my pc? [04:39] lucianno: system->admin->synaptic , ctl-f to search, and install that way [04:39] Anyone else seeing DIVX movies playing video with only a scrambled green screen after upgrading to Gutsy? [04:39] lucianno: what file? [04:40] icewm, [04:40] leo_rockw, icewm [04:40] deu(notso)ryte [04:40] lucianno: sudo apt-get install icewm [04:40] Hi, I'm getting really lousy performance out of my Broadcom 4318 ever since I installed Gutsy. It was fine under Feisty and Dapper [04:41] I gotta go... watch my ass as it leaves. [04:41] nickrud, usinf the synaptic [04:41] Anyone ever manage to setup joy2key? [04:41] theBishop: are you using ndiswrapper [04:41] hello, can someone tell me how do i transform a trade partition into an usable partition? [04:41] lucianno: you should learn to use synaptic, it's your centralized software source. [04:41] leo_rockw, no, but i wasn't in Feisty either [04:41] nickrud, nice [04:41] When ztomic bends over..we lose 1 hour daylite savings time. [04:41] PaPaFD, i did on windows...on linux im sure there are better apps for that [04:41] when i go to the web site, it commands that i open an external application to proceed... ??? [04:41] hi [04:41] theBishop: ok, i was going to say that i don't use ndiswrapper and it didn't change for me [04:41] lucianno: open synaptic, ctl-f icewm, when it shows on the screen right click the box next to it and select install [04:41] I have more than 4000 on Windows, I want to import it with F-Spot, my problem is that they are classified in drawers which the name stands for the tag, how to reorganize my album then ? [04:42] notsorite ?? [04:42] searayman, Any luck? [04:42] #christianity [04:42] leo_rockw, so you haven't been seeing reports of slow wireless connections in Gutsy? [04:42] click it [04:42] hey whats the cli command to configure sound cant remember [04:42] nickrud, ok, but for to use, how do? [04:42] deuryte [04:42] nickrud, --replace [04:42] (tmy pics are classified in directories and sub-directories actually) [04:42] theBishop: i never enter this channel... and i didn't look in launchpad because it still works for me [04:43] leo_rockw, right now, i'm getting 17Kbs downloading from the Ubuntu repo [04:43] my* [04:43] lucianno: when you have it installed, log out, and select it under sessions [04:43] leo_rockw, normally i get well over 100K [04:43] theBishop: you'll notice slow connection to the repos for a while [04:43] i can't upgrade tu 7.10 I get this error : org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: [04:43] theBishop: because people are still downloading gutsy [04:43] ive tried it, r u in that one ? [04:43] yes [04:43] For those who want to download gutsy I'd seriously reccomend using the torrent instead of slamming the download servers [04:44] hello, can someone tell me how do i transform a trade partition into an usable partition? [04:44] There's >2000 Seeders active at this time [04:44] theBishop: try smth like http://www.speedtest.net/ [04:44] nickrud, i using gnome, after install icewm my pc will be more light? [04:44] Paxton, can u link me real quick to the torrent? ;p [04:44] can't upgrade to gutsy, [04:44] * DanaG uses mirrors.kernel.org. [04:44] lucianno: much [04:44] lucianno, yes [04:44] i can't upgrade tu 7.10 I get this error : org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: I use gnome [04:44] Good if in the USA. [04:44] DanaG lives in CA? [04:44] lucianno: It will still weigh just as much, but you may be using slightly less memory. ; [04:44] :) [04:45] Oh yeah, for other countries, google for "ubuntu mirrors list" and try variousuniversities and such. [04:45] Evanlec: One sec. For some reason canonical or whoever owns the ubuntu website doesn't make it easy to find it.

Why? [04:46] is there a particular reason that with a standard clean install of apache2, the link to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ is called 000-default? [04:46] Does "Software Sources" try mirrors.kernel.org? [04:46] nickrud, BTW, so far I am failing miserably at installing Ubuntu-desktop :) [04:46] Ashfire908: yes, so it's read first during the assembling of the apache.conf [04:46] Evanlec: Remember to not get the "Alternate" version, unless you want a text-based installer [04:47] Seems to me U have alot of broken packages deuryte. [04:47] is amarok safe to install on ubuntu? [04:47] Jordan_U: I looked for a few minutes for a tool that would give a recursive, unique listing, but no go :) [04:47] ir0nfusion, Of course [04:47] ubuntu 7 10 include compiz fusion ?

(i'm asking because the modules are relative and the default config file is absloute) [04:50] df [04:50] Ashfire908: create the config in sites-available, and use sudo a2ensite to enable it :) [04:51] nickrud: oh.

In ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig there is only the file 'config' [04:51] matux, From update-manager? [04:51] nickrud: are they optional or included? [04:51] xmonad ftw!

I just wonder where they are stored now.. [04:53] emaconline. Have you tried booting from the livecd? Make sure everything installed correctly? [04:53] Knetworkmanager shows "no devices found" even though both my wired and wireless are up. /etc/network/interfaces doesn't have entries for them. [04:53] nickrud: yeah, saw it in the man file [04:54] Any ideas? === jrs is now known as Jaearess [04:54] matux, make sure that you have the newest packages, run "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" But make sure that your sources.list is pointing to feisty NOT Gutsy [04:54] InHisName: i run ubuntu. love it. and always used it as a virtualbox host aswell. never had a single problem [04:54] i dont have livecd.. i only have feisty livecd [04:54] that will work [04:54] hi [04:54] InHisName: and i've tried lots of guest OS's here.. [04:54] how can i add a module to modprobe ? [04:54] it seems to be a problem with computers with two HDs [04:55] is there any vitalization similar to the apple parallels that lets you run an application from one of your virtual os'es with out starting the whole machine? [04:55] i can insmod them form /lib/modules [04:55] but modprobe don t see them [04:55] where does gutsy's compiz store its settings? In ~/.config/compiz/compizconfig there is only the file 'config' [04:55] even after depmod -a [04:55] c.rizon.net [04:55] Hey, I don't have ubuntu installed at this time, but I have a question: Do any of the variations of Ubuntu have a centralized "Help" option for the preinstalled applications? [04:55] wrapper installed, no dice, still wont see the linksys card [04:56] LiMaO, would you recommend Gutsy as host or Fiesty ? I am starting with an empty 400 Gb disk on 2ghz old box. [04:56] Innomen: which card is it? [04:56] InHisName: i wouldn't recommend Gutsy at all.. too many problems. stick with Feisty and you'll be fine [04:57] i have had no problems in Gutsy :P [04:57] InHisName, If you want stability go with Dapper [04:57] Other then the compiz stuff. :) i have had very few issues with gutsy [04:57] hold on [04:57] now click this... #christianity deuryte [04:58] shane634: wmp11 [04:58] InHisName, Otherwise I would go with Gutsy since you will have to go through it to upgrade to hardy anyway ( Dapper on the other hand will upgrade directly to hardy once it is out ) [04:58] since gutsy went final, I've had no problems except fglrx suspend [04:58] what is the best tool to organize photos ? [04:58] hey guys, anyone know why the network preferences app is not storing the settings properly?

[05:05] Jordan_U: i loved the gutsy feel. it's fast, beautiful, works nice. it sure was a big improvement over the older releases, but too many minor problems [05:05] shane, vesa is the issue... "VESA (0): cannot read v_bios" thas what it says in the read out from the x thing [05:05] gutsy is running on my old box no issues for what it is worth [05:06] Jordan_U: yes, i can list some [05:06] Gohan: turn off shadowing in your bios and try it [05:06] Jordan_U: openoffice doesn't work correctly with some themes. compiz gives problems with some wine applications, even if it's turned off. [05:06] I'm still looking for the Ubuntu Studio theme that Feisty used. the version for 7.10(which I'm running) is the pits. Where to find the old one? [05:07] Jordan_U: my panels kept disappearing all the time, i had to right click them to have them back [05:07] shane, umm yeah what? not sure how to get to the bios... unless you are talking about hittin f8 on boot [05:07] Nocivo, I can't read that very well and I wouldn't understand it if I could, does that mean about the same as the input to the monitor is out of range?

[05:08] Gohan: sometimes it depends.. but it is a starting point [05:08] Gohan: does the NV driver not work at all? [05:08] shane, and when it does something different come back and tell you guys about it? LOL... ok im gonna go try. you gonna be here for a bit? [05:09] Ok.

[05:12] Just to let all of you ati user know that the new driver is a bit buggy and you will experience video click, firefox scroll slow, desktop screen flick with border, and so on [05:12] Dan_L, was that bad eh? [05:12] No. I couldn't get it to run. I'd like to run it. [05:12] hi can someone help me install local package? [05:12] video flick I meant [05:12] nickrud: but don't you think it's kind of strange? an application not working with a theme that comes by default with ubuntu?? [05:12] LiMaO: I use nodoka with spifcity as my borders === jarv is now known as joshjosh [05:12] Gohan: lol ok i am a newb myself [05:12] I am using vmware to run winxp on my 7.10 ubuntu install...but i cant use bridged networking because i am on wifi through my laptop...however when i set up nat it only works until i restart my computer, after i restart, ubuntu cant cnonect to the internet and either can vmware [05:12] Dan_L, okay, can u give me some more info, were u trying to dual-boot? [05:12] Is there a keyboard launcher available for X, like QuickSilver, Approcket, Launchy? [05:12] Evanlec, anyway, Grub is still on the pc. I want to get back into windows. but Grub is throwing me an error. [05:12] Yeah. [05:12] how do i fixi t [05:13] nickrud: nodoka.. it's the default for opensuse or fedora, isn't it? [05:13] Nothing will automount via USB. Any ideas? This has been broken since my first gutsy install. [05:13] LiMaO: no, it's a defective theme. Probably hasn't been maintained and gtk is now exposing a bug [05:13] Dan_L, okay, did u actually finish the ubuntu installation? [05:13] LiMaO: fedora I beleive [05:13] nickrud: i just wish i could find some nice looking themes for ubuntu. gnome-look only has ugly stuff [05:13] Evanlec, Yes. But I blew away the partition. [05:13] LiMaO: +1 [05:13] Dan_L, using what method? [05:13] LiMaO, Mix and match to make it how you want. [05:13] In my stupidity, I forgot that the grub bootload attached to the MBR. Now I can't get around Grub. [05:14] ati is hearding in the right direction and I'm sure amd stock will go up next year [05:14] Evanlec, alternate (text) isntaller [05:14] what is the kernel number for gutsy? [05:14] never mind i got it! :) [05:14] 2.6.22-14-generic [05:14] Dan_L, okay but how did u delete the partition? [05:14] joshjosh: the problem is that mixing a bad window border with bad controls won't make it look good hehe [05:14] ty [05:14] LiMaO: xmonad looks quite nice [05:14] Yw wind. :) [05:14] 2.6.22.14 [05:14] LiMaO, ooook [05:14] wind: uname -r [05:14] Evanlec, via the vista disk management screen. [05:14] joshjosh: tell me where i can find 'clorophile' and i'll be happy... it's one of the defaults in opensuse [05:14] * nickrud looks at the ~.9% of visitors to his sites that use linux, and laughs at the idea of good linux drivers affecting ati's stock [05:15] runar_: gonna check it out [05:15] Dan_L, okay...now before u did that, after u installed ubuntu, were u able to boot windows? [05:15] Yes. [05:15] LiMaO, you can probably copy it from OpenSuSE. [05:15] Dan_L, okay, but ubuntu wouldnt boot? [05:15] It should be in /opt/gnome/themes or something like that. [05:15] LiMaO, you sure you spelled that right? [05:16] LiMaO: if it is available as an rpm alien may help [05:16] Evanlec, Ubuntu would not boot. It would hang at the splash screen [05:16] Dan_L, what version of ubuntu? [05:16] joshjosh: almost sure.. but i may be wrong [05:16] Gutsy. [05:16] Dan_L, 32-bit or 64? [05:16] LiMaO, because searching for clorophile opensuse, clorophile gnome...none of that returns much of anything in google. [05:16] nickrud, i want move the file for other package? [05:16] hey guys I need to know how to fix Grub.... my boss is dual booting and i am thinking about running fix mbr but i don't wnat to destroy the whole HD aobut [05:17] Evanlec, 64 bit [05:17] Dan_L, interesting, are u by chance using an nvidia card? [05:17] anyone know how to take a screenshot while looking at the compiz cube? [05:17] ubotu, tell luciano about components [05:17] shane, thats a no go on the shadowing option. [05:17] joshjosh: yeah, i had tried that.. right now i'm checking this site http://www.suse-art.org/ [05:17] Gohan: how about the NV option? [05:18] nickrud: is ubotu changing syntax now? [05:18] lucianno: you should read that message from ubotu, it'll tell you a bit about how software is organized in ubuntu [05:18] how do i get a temperature sensor applet in my panel? [05:18] i didn't know that was a valid command [05:18] shane, after i was in the bios it just auto booted to windows so i thought to come see what you would say... the nv option will take considerably longer [05:18] musikgoat: no, I was informed that I was years behind, bots have known that syntax for a while. I like it, it's conversational :) [05:18] nickrud, Second attempt at installing ubuntu-desktop...

It's a Geforce card on a laptop. [05:19] anyone had any success getting a2dp to work with ubuntu 7.10? [05:19] shane, right o... back when i get there. hopefully though linux [05:19] Evanlec: i have it [05:19] best way to run a windows based app in linux is what? wine? [05:19] but it's not the panel [05:19] lucianno: then you'll have a better idea about using synaptic to install [05:19] anyone know to get a remote working in ubuntu [05:19] Evanlec, so yes. It is a Nvidia chipset [05:19] anyone know about a desktop freezing problem that involves gutsy and the current nvidia driver, i need help? [05:19] thinkl00p: yes [05:19] nickrud, Actually I just don't have anywhere to back up my data for a re-install right now :) [05:19] gohan ok [05:19] Jordan_U: you desperate masochist ;) [05:19] Dan_L, im just curious because i had the exact same issue with ubuntu 64-bit, would hang at the splash, i got very frustrated with it, but all i had to do was disable the splash screen and it worked no problem [05:19] thinkl00p: if you cant find similar native software [05:20] okape!

[05:47] cindy: what do you learn with compiz? [05:47] tuntun: it's not as clean [05:48] u ppl seem 2 b on it.. sharpe... [05:48] cindy: i'm sure a quite a few people are [05:48] U loaded the wrong x chat bro..re-do [05:48] tuntun: any time there is an ubuntu package available, that's preferable [05:48] like it !! [05:48] Troubled_Youth: I'd put exit 0 on line 2, then see if apt-get -f install worked. If so, I'd immediatly purge the package [05:48] cindy: i never had any luck with network manager.. just my experience [05:48] tritium: well it works. [05:48] cindy: i learned it is still in development :) [05:48] shane, so i did that and nothing happen... it changed the file but then just sat there [05:48] tuntun: but it's not under package management. [05:48] shane634: thank you [05:48] sorry admin's [05:48] johnny ?>? [05:49] what [05:49] Evanlec. cd ~/media/disk worked..... [05:49] sup ??? [05:49] tritium: it esentially IS the package... [05:49] Er...how do I put exit 0 on line 2? [05:49] hi [05:49] tuntun: no [05:49] user01: it is under heavy devolopment with a STABLE release out [05:49] gluttony, alright, so just mount it there then [05:49] dialog me [05:49] tritium: no what? [05:49] hai [05:49] Gohan: did you control o to save then control x to exit? [05:49] how??? wew [05:49] tuntun: no to what you just said [05:49] user01: Can make up your mind for you [05:49] everything is under development [05:49] right click my nic [05:49] Troubled_Youth: eh, sorry. sudo nano /var/lib/dpkg/info/deskbar-applet.postinst , edit there :) [05:49] :) [05:49] shane, i control x to exit it asked if i wanted to save and i said yes to the same place [05:49] tritium: You will need to elaborate. [05:50] shane, then it just sat on the command line waiting [05:50] tuntun: packages are more than just files. There are also scripts that are run post- and pre- installation and removal. [05:50] Evanlec. i thank you good sir [05:50] Gohan: then use control alt backspace to restart x [05:50] gluttony, you're very welcome [05:50] would anyone be willing to help with my wifi issues? [05:50] tuntun: further, installating non-native ubuntu packages can result in system files belonging to packages getting overwritten, leaving your system broken [05:50] cindy: which card is it? [05:50] If i understood wifi, I'd make a killing selling support [05:51] shane634: intel 4965agn [05:51] hf [05:51] where do i get nicotine ? :/ [05:51] cindy: let me see what i can find real quick === westalone is now known as kuta [05:51] i can't get it trought synpatic [05:51] i give up !! tried dcc... what am i doing wrong...?? [05:51] hang on [05:51] tritium: yes its no as 'clean', but if ubuntu0777 isn't concerned about installing something "dumb"... [05:51] renato1: smoke a cigg to get that [05:52] shane634: I should note that the driver seems to be working and that the system (;spci) reports the card is present [05:52] any one knows why I cannot play .rm file even I had already install ubuntu-restricted-extras? [05:52] :/ [05:52] tuntun: for the reasons above, it's best to recommend ubuntu packages, so new users don't end up with broken systems [05:52] cindy: that is cool what version of ubuntu? [05:52] nickrud: wifi approaches on linux change a LOT more than on windows [05:52] kuta: u need gstreamer codec also [05:53] !info nicotine | renato1 [05:53] renato1: nicotine: graphical client for the SoulSeek peer-to-peer system. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.8+dfsg-1 (gutsy), package size 609 kB, installed size 2924 kB [05:53] shane634: gutsy [05:53] one more time tookie... click this irc://irc.icq.com:6667 [05:53] cindy: ok hold on [05:53] ty [05:53] Bonster: I am using kaffeine and gxine, how to insto gstreamer codec? [05:53] cindy: very true; I had to do a lot of finagling to get it to work with my offices non-standard network, now networkmanager works perfectly. [05:53] I need to call a command that requires sudo from a ir remote. I put an entry for myself in sudoers so I don't have to enter a password. Works fine if I login, but if I autologin (which I want to do. this is going to be a mythtv box), it doesn't work. What can I do? [05:53] i think my syncopate is all messed up [05:53] i can't update it [05:54] I seem to have a problem with NetworkManager not keeping up-to-date in terms of wifi info/availability. Often after NetworkManager has generated an initial list of WAPs it no longer keeps that list up-to-date or detects any changes in any wifi related stuff [05:54] im trying to move the top of an application off the top of my screen to make room for it on the bottom half, can someone give me a hand with this? [05:54] can't even find XMMS on syncopate [05:54] :/ === cmonkey is now known as nrp [05:54] As such this is also reflected in nm-applet [05:54] kuta: oh gstreamer is got totem only [05:54] renato1: did you see the info above on nicotine? [05:54] tritium: Well its just JRE, its not going to sink any deep roots into the system, as opposed to say VMware. [05:54] nickrud: the funny thing is itś almost always possible to make wifi work, but impossible to get developers on the same page [05:55] mjkelly93: hold down the alt key along with the left mouse button to move the window [05:55] yeah tritium [05:55] what a dork [05:55] nickrud i tried that but it wont let me move the top of the app off the desktop, like theres a wall at the top to prevent the title bar from going off the screen which would make sense [05:55] how do i update my syncopate? [05:55] cindy: the joy of open source :O) [05:55] nickrud: Gotta love it [05:56] mjkelly93: um, I don't have a top panel, that may be why it works for me [05:56] shane634: whatś the skinny? [05:56] cindy: http://welcometoubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/10/howto-get-airgo-based-wifi-enabled.html [05:56] mjkelly93: alt-click [05:56] cindy: have a look there [05:56] nickrud i dont have a top panel either, ok let me try something else [05:56] tritium: Well its just JRE, its not going to sink any deep roots into the system, as opposed to say VMware. [05:56] shane634: ty gimme a few please [05:56] tuntun: I saw your message previously [05:57] nickrud: thanks it got rid of the error...should I try and reinstall it? [05:57] cindy: will do [05:57] tritium: reply? [05:57] mjkelly93: if you alt-click, you can move it above the desktop [05:57] has anyone been able to get Kino working [05:57] ? [05:57] nickrud ok i first have to get it against the top, then i can move it over, thanks nick [05:57] i can't capture video [05:57] Troubled_Youth: you can try, now that you know how to fix it :) [05:57] tuntun: I've already explained why that's not the preferred approach. [05:57] :) [05:57] nickrud yeah i was trying but it was stopping me, but i got it now. thanks again man [05:57] shane634: thatś verified to totally not work with gusty [05:57] gutsy [05:57] mjkelly93: yw [05:57] cindy: poo [05:57] shane634: I know [05:58] I using gxine to player real media file and had an error cook.so anyone can help [05:58] must be in software ... advise on 1043 . 1048?? [05:58] tritium: Lets just call it the quick and dirty approach form ubuntu0777 then eh? [05:58] cindy: well all is not lost we have other sources [05:58] tuntun: not to be a butt in (but I'm hopeless) quick and dirty usually fouls a system [05:58] kuta: dont think xine has rm files support [05:58] Yup. Worked like a charm :) [05:58] I'm thinking of buying a new laptop - if I get all intel will I be ok? [05:58] whats a good bittorent client for ubuntu [05:58] any [05:58] I know, Ie checked the wifi docs on ubuntu forums, as well as linuxforums, smallnetbuilder, and even intellinuxwireless [05:58] tuntun: installing the ubuntu package should be the quickest approach. [05:59] cindy: that link has files for gutsy [05:59] I don't want to have to depend on proprietary drivers [05:59] thinkl00p: deluge [05:59] thinkl00p: you will be fine, yes. Just avoid ati for a while [05:59] can u pick another place?? [05:59] thinkl00p, I like transmission , others like deluge [05:59] tookie: please, stay on topic [05:59] tritium: I agree, but at least there's an option of last resort. [05:59] nickrud it seems the only application i can move off the desktop from the top is firefox, i cant move the others, can u move nautilus off the top? [05:59] tuntun: yes, you're right === runev_ is now known as runev [05:59] compiz and emerald-themes work, not bad [05:59] does deluge have a GUI? [05:59] shane634 that version of ndiswrapper only works with the 3965ag [05:59] thinkl00p, they both do [05:59] !glxinfo [05:59] aubretigre: intel wireless and graphics are well-supported [06:00] mjkelly93: yes [06:00] Hrmmm...any way to check to see if I have any other errors with my upgrade? o.O [06:00] black background in terminal looks too light though [06:00] nickrud even when its maximized? [06:00] only a few people have my card listed as working, but I can quite seem to get it [06:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about glxinfo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:00] i'm newbie, trying to see options, this place seems to be a default for forums, [06:00] cindy: ok check this link on page 2 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585311&highlight=intel+4965agn&page=2 [06:00] mjkelly93: no, maximized is fixed [06:00] i have intel gma x3100 aka 965gm [06:00] mobile [06:00] when i run glxinfo | grep render it says "direct render: no"... but compiz runs and it looks like my ati drivers are all working correctly. umm... is direct render supposed to say yes? [06:00] I've had enough of broadcom [06:00] how does the x3100 compare to say the 950? [06:00] nickrud thats why i cant move this app then it must be considered maximized, would u happen to know a way to override that? [06:01] i dont know. check intellinuxgraphics.org i think it is [06:01] mjkelly93: unmaximize, and resize [06:01] ty zippy2 [06:01] mjkelly93: I've also found that I have to disable compiz-fusion in order to get the alt-click trick to work === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [06:01] tritium: Well I gave ubuntu0777 the wrong url anyway, hah! [06:01] mjkelly93: right click the titlebar [06:01] tuntun: ;) [06:01] nickrud the application cant be resized at all, its 1 fix size and that size for the skin i want to use is too big for my maximum resolution [06:01] admin's... every time i try to activsate and try to dcc my friend... it doesnt comply, .. do u know why?????? [06:02] tuntun: I'd really like to know why he's having a problem, and fix that. The package install should "just work" [06:02] tritium compizfusion? [06:02] mjkelly93: then the app is broken :) [06:02] shane634: yea, his issues appear to be intermittant [06:02] mjkelly93: yes. Are you running gutsy? [06:02] compiz isnt that amazing though [06:02] ppph [06:02] nickrud well it cant really be scaled because of the nature of the application, mixxx [06:02] !compiz [06:02] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [06:02] tritium yes [06:02] oooh [06:02] exx [06:02] hii [06:02] johnny [06:02] mjkelly93: if you're having trouble, you might try disabling the desktop effects to see if that helps [06:03] cindy: this is all the threads have a look http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=29834914 [06:03] mjkelly93: I'd call that a broken design decision then (with exceptions possible) [06:03] johnny...... [06:03] nickrud if it was able to be scaled then the button sized would possibly overlap each other and stuff [06:03] anything for ubuntu to burn movies .avi's or .mpg's onto DVD's to play on a DVD player? [06:03] ahh , it appears x3100 is just a subset of 965 [06:03] nickrud well possibly but its an aftermarket user made skin, not by the makers [06:03] tritium: me too [06:03] nickrud its just unfortunate that its too big for my res [06:03] shane, DUDE this is upsetting. ok so i change the file to read NV instead of vesa, then i hit ctrl+alt+backspace... nothing [06:03] hi [06:03] tuntun: thanks for helping him [06:03] mjkelly93: yup [06:03] tritium is that under preferences > applications? [06:03] tookie, if you're using xchat try asking in the #xchat channel [06:04] k [06:04] hey tookie [06:04] mjkelly93: System -> Preferences -> Appearance [06:04] tritium errrr appearance [06:04] tritium: haha, who knows. [06:04] where are my local mails saved? I just wanted to set evolution up to receive LOCAL mails (Local Delivery) but I have to define a MAIL - PATH [06:04] cindy: and these are gutsy only i think http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=29835420 [06:04] I am in alot of other rooms [06:04] hey to all [06:04] Romina: /var/spool/mail [06:04] tookie, or #xchat-gnome depending on which one you're using :) [06:04] shane, DUDE this is upsetting. ok so i change the file to read NV instead of vesa, then i hit ctrl+alt+backspace... nothing [06:05] the mail path for local delivery in evolution was /var/mail/romina for the user "romina" in times of Feisty Fawn but now, in Gutsy Gibbon, /var/mail/romina does not exist any more [06:05] anise, hey to you [06:05] nickrud, and where is MY own directory? [06:05] nickrud, my own MAIL directory [06:05] my username is romina [06:05] tritium good call man that fixed it, something in there must prevent max'd windows to go off the screen for some reason [06:05] tookie [06:05] mjkelly93: :) [06:05] Romina: you would have an mbox file in the /var/spool/mail directory [06:05] /var/spool/mail/ is am empty directory @ nickrud [06:05] yo [06:05] tritium and nickrud, thanks for the help guys =) [06:05] R U coherant [06:05] Romina: then you have recieved no local mail :) [06:05] shane634 I am so close itś crazy === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [06:06] mjkelly93: yw [06:06] mjkelly93: no sweat! [06:06] cindy: i think the second link has your answers [06:06] nickrud, so what path should I configure in evolution when the directory does not exist yet? [06:06] shane634: brb [06:06] Romina: a sec, while I check my config [06:06] nickrud, I have to set the mail path to /var/spool/mail/romina/ right? [06:06] omg this zoom thing is cool [06:07] hey tookie [06:07] this so makes compiz worth it [06:07] Romina: it won't exist until you receive mail locally [06:07] yo johnny ?? [06:07] Zippy2, good for when you're monitor is 5m away :P [06:07] Has anyone had any success getting a Geforce 440n working w/ compiz-fusion? [06:07] Gohan: any luck yet? [06:07] im on a laptop monitor :( 1680x1050 though [06:07] tritium, how can I send myself a local email the simpliest way just to get this directory created? [06:07] 15.4" [06:07] tookie, johnn1: please take the conversation out of the channel [06:08] how do i change workspace with the plane and slide effect [06:08] Romina: with the "mail" command line [06:08] ok [06:08] thx2000, try asking that in #compiz-fusion perhaps [06:08] i just got 7.10 installed on an older machine but the graphics are all screwy (the screen is just a bunch of crazy colors and white lines). Is there a place to go to start troubleshooting this? [06:08] want me to come to your casa right now ?? [06:08] Zippy2: I think the default is Ctrl-Alt-Right/Left [06:08] we arfe trying... [06:08] tritium, thx I try it [06:08] Romina: sudo touch /var/spool/mail/romina && chown romina:mail /var/spool/mail/romina && sudo chmod ug+rw /var/spool/mail/romina , then point evolution at it [06:08] shane, DUDE this is upsetting. ok so i change the file to read NV instead of vesa, then i hit ctrl+alt+backspace... nothing [06:09] ok i drew some red lines on my screen. how do i remove them [06:09] Zippy2, #compiz-fusion channel will get more responses to compiz-fusion stuff [06:09] im done thanks tho :) [06:09] Gohan: try nvidia then just for grins [06:09] * tritium goes to bed [06:10] Gohan: or try changing it and rebooting [06:10] well?? [06:10] shane, im this close to just packing it in for good... i for some reason can not get ubuntu to load on the damn box... the fedora core live goes hot instantly [06:10] your sasa?? [06:10] now?? [06:10] casa [06:10] Has anyone had luck with getting their computer to restart all the way when the click the icon in Gutsy? Mine seems to always hang on the very last bar during the shutdown process [06:10] shane, rebooting does nothing cause like i said its the live cd so it ejects [06:10] Gohan: that is your call man [06:11] hey thanks for all the help you gave me yesterday [06:11] shane, I want ubuntu [06:11] Anyone awake? [06:11] ZZzzz... [06:11] :) [06:11] 8) [06:11] no.... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [06:11] Gohan: then someone on here will make it work lol === frskN_ is now known as Cryptochild [06:11] 1265 people in this chatroom, im sure someone is both sleeping, and awake [06:11] shane, ill try the nvidia... correct spelling? [06:11] I am having a bit of trouble and teh net is being less than helpfull [06:11] awakeeee [06:11] Dr_willis: you do good work when you're sleeping, keep it up ;) [06:11] Billies, or worse. :) [06:11] Gohan: have you tried to install it at all? [06:11] permenantly sleping? [06:12] what's up lads ? ;) [06:12] Gohan: yes that is correct [06:12] hey i'm in a livecd trying to get my bios raid working. when i run `dmraid -s`, my raid set shows up, but when i run `dmraid -ay` nothing gets created in /dev/mapper/ can anyone help? [06:12] shane, i tried with one of my roached disks via the alternative cd download and it got to the base install and freaked out [06:12] I'm sleeping and awake. Its called caffeine. [06:12] i have to say. debian was giving me fits with this new laptop. but ubuntu has worked 100% out of the box so far, only things untested are wifi and built-in webcam [06:12] shane, again i say those disks were roached cause of high speed burn [06:12] good job guys [06:12] Gohan: the alt disk is not the preferred method [06:12] johnny? [06:12] my atheros worked out of the box [06:12] johnny??????????????? [06:12] shane, i was trying anything i could [06:12] basically I have installed the nVidia drivers via envy, and every other way possible. However the mouse does not show up. It works but has no graphical representation. I can get it to show up by adding the Option "SWCursor" this comes at the cost of my F key Terminals to be highly distorted. Any idea on how to fix this? [06:12] my ntfs drive still does not load properly at startup [06:13] actually i think it does not boot properly ever [06:13] johnny???????? [06:13] racarter: apt-get install ntfs-3g [06:13] Gohan: lol burn the iso super slow and check it .. then install [06:13] militant_: oh yeah, i totally forgot about my webcam, but logitech doesnt have good support for linux (G5/G15 combo) [06:13] shane, whats the way to restart without actually rebooting ctrl+alt+backspace?? [06:13] ntfs-3g is installed [06:13] yup [06:13] Gohan: the alt disk works in more instances, and the live cd has a disk check function on the first menu [06:13] i have no idea what wifi card is in this or what webcam. it's a toshiba. shrug [06:13] racarter, can u mount it? [06:13] all this forum for ubuntu?? is it really worth it??? [06:13] Gohan: typing boot at terminal i believe [06:13] ubuntu = worth it [06:13] k [06:14] DigitalAngel: yes ;) [06:14] it is worth it for sure [06:14] militant_: lspci should tell you about the wifi , not sure about the cam [06:14] nichrud, yeah i check the disk the first time and it says its good [06:14] I updated my Feisty to Gutsy, and now I have problems with WoW/Wine with frame rates. I get 20% of my frame rates most of the time, with it "spiking" to "normal" frame rates. The spike happens a lot when WoW gains focus. So far I have tried different graphics card drivers, updating Wine to the latest version from winehq.org, and rebuilding my kernel to remove the "tickless kernel feature". Any ideas what else I should try? [06:14] anyone here used VirtualBox to install OS X? [06:14] zela: not yet but I intend too once my issue is solved [06:14] no [06:14] Gohan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, and choose nv as the driver. [06:14] Has anyone had luck with getting their computer to restart all the way when the click the icon in Gutsy? Mine seems to always hang on the very last bar during the shutdown process. [06:14] NolanG: wine hasn't caught up to gutsy just yet.. development and all [06:15] NolanG : have you tried running it in it's own seperate X [06:15] johnny [06:15] NolanG: how well does wow play in wine [06:15] DigitalAngel: no [06:15] NolanG, u might try the low latency options when you rebuild your kernel [06:15] yes i can mount my windows partitian manually with the -o force flag [06:15] NolanG, have you asked in #winehq? [06:15] is the emerald theme good? [06:15] Gohan: if that fails, look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, near the resolution section, you'll see some info about how X sees your monitor. [06:15] militant_: WoW was awesome in Feisty. Horrid in Gutsy. [06:15] vulcanius: no, but I will :) [06:15] NolanG : nod to vulcanius on this [06:15] i dont know why i need to use force and i dont know why it doesnt load at startup automatically [06:16] Gohan: listen to nickrud [06:16] NolanG: what's your cpu/ram/video? i dunno how well it'd play on this machine [06:16] does anyone have a thought on my issue [06:16] NolanG: what is wow ? :-/ [06:16] /etc/fstab was done by ntfs-config [06:16] hey whats up guys , im having a problem with youtube i cant get any sound [06:16] nickrud, it sees it just fine... i got this eariler VESA(0): cannot read V_Bios [06:16] militant_: 2.4Ghz AMD64 (running in 32bit mode), 2GB RAM, 512MB nvidia 7900 GS card [06:16] Gladiat0r: what are you using for sound alsa? [06:16] shane, thanks man [06:16] neol: World of Warcraft [06:17] Gohan: what was in bios besides shadowing? [06:17] Gohan: ok, that's close, but what you're looking for is something about ddc . [06:17] NolanG: ah, got [06:17] Gohan: but do the reconfigure and we'll take a shot from there [06:17] NolanG: ahh, this is a core 2 duo 1.66ghz 2gb but the video is pretty weak, intel integrated [06:17] im using my USB radip === c9s_ is now known as c9s [06:17] stereo* [06:17] nickrud, thanks be back in a bit [06:17] Gladiat0r: Does your system sound work? [06:17] gald he ate her ? [06:17] nickrud: i forgot about the reconfig thanks [06:18] militant_: yeah, it's all about the graphics card [06:18] yes [06:18] crewd...

I can go to /var/spool/mail/ but I cannot click the file "romina" because its "not active" ..

The last partition /home, is the same as /Users in vista [06:41] is there somewhere else i can look? [06:41] Romina: a sec [06:41] pamela, nowhere? Odd. Do you know how to open a terminal? Can you type "lsb_release -a" (without the quotes) and tell us what it says?

[06:42] Gohan: keep in touch let us know how it goes [06:42] How can I login to Ubuntu via VNC or a similair protocol? I want to be able to login if the server goes down and reboots (its a server). [06:42] Nallep, if you right click and choose open with text editor, does that work? [06:42] it opens and it closes right away so i'm not able to see what it says [06:43] Creed: I dont think u can reboot using vnc only estart [06:43] Yes, opening with a text editor works, but I want to get the Display button working [06:43] pamela, I've got to go - late here - but someone else should be able to help you. Best of luck. [06:43] thanks [06:43] right-clicking the script and open with text editor works fine [06:43] can somebody help me [06:43] FluxD, I dont want to reboot using VNC, I just want to be able to login to a GUI if the server ever restarts (power outage, etc).

I dont think vnc can do that [06:44] Creed: but yes u can install it look into tightvnc etc [06:44] FluxD, I can turn it on (remote reboot), and the bios is set to auto start if it has power again. [06:44] does anyone know why i would lose sound on youtube? [06:44] Romina: no, I use thunderbird. I used to use evolution, but it's just too buggy for me. claws-mail was ok, as well [06:45] with gutsy [06:45] whats so good about ubuntu, another shitty OS [06:45] Creed: oh then goos [06:45] ubuntu looks pretty [06:45] nickrud, if you know how to do it in thunderbird I will download it [06:45] moss: don't troll, nor swear, here. [06:45] and the african music in the beginning is cool [06:45] FluxD, tightvnc (any VNC actually) creates another X session or just displays the X loading screen (X cursor, gray dotted background). === militant_ is now known as militant [06:45] that's why people use it [06:45] moss: whats a good OS then?

[06:52] why is moss hating? [06:53] his mac blew up and he has nothing better to do [06:53] Creed: that will restart X too right [06:53] i thought the selling point of ubuntu was the commie philosophy [06:53] lol [06:53] moss, you wont see macos run a pda, mp3 player, a dozens of different computer platforms, phones, watches, all sorts of embedded systems. Different target market [06:53] Humanzy, lol yes thats it [06:53] Smirnov, it shouldnt. [06:53] Humanzy: point to you :) [06:53] Humanzy: Communism, it's a party!

[06:53] Smirnov: Creed yes it will [06:53] hi [06:53] moss, if the 3d cube has no point, then windows fading in and out has even less of a purpose [06:54] Smirnov: although restart if X is already running [06:54] i cannot get webcalendar to successfully launch, getting access denied, but when i use 'test connection' it works just fine. mysql settings seem to be correct, help?

[06:55] because it has a fire graphic [06:55] ahaha [06:55] thanks [06:55] any idea why i get no sound on .mov's (quicktime) in firefox? [06:55] and that weird ass minimize thing [06:55] with the gay ass 3d cube [06:55] whats the point of that 3d cube?? [06:55] haha [06:55] was waiting for that [06:55] can someone serve this fool [06:55] lol [06:55] moss: no, I've been using Linux for years for access to the bare metal, the lack of virii, the ability to tune the system to my needs, not what microsoft thinks i need [06:55] moss: You don't need to pay Apple for a thousand dollar case? [06:55] nickrud, thunderbird is installed now [06:56] nickrud, how to make thunderbird receive local mails please? [06:56] Romina: when you set up the account, use the Unix movemail setting [06:56] Jban, lol good point there [06:56] jban: yes you do, the hipster points more than make up for it [06:57] Romina, i believe u can set the mailserver in thunderbird to localhost [06:57] Hello guys, my brother has a ghetto ipod knock-off and this thing is a beast, it has crashed every single computer it gets put in. I need to reformat it, I can get into the properties, now how do I do that? [06:57] i might be wrong? [06:57] so seriously, there's no way to switch to amd64 if i have i386 installed [06:57] ? [06:57] Zippy2, no [06:57] nickrud, any chance you can shed some advice on what Im trying to accomplish? I want VNC access to my server on boot, but simply enabling Remote Desktop from within a Gnome session only enables it if a user is logged in. I can't VNC into the login window and start a X/gnome-session that remains open after the VNC disconnects. [06:57] linux users can't go around showing everyone their cool fire graphics, you need an apple on the part you don't look at [06:57] Zippy2, u must re-install [06:57] that's so wrong [06:57] its the way it is, the two are not compatible [06:57] * Zippy2 bookmarks https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [06:57] for setting up shares, do i need to create a local user account named after the computer name of an XP box, and in turn create a samba user acct and password in order for a winXP machine to access the share? [06:57] anyone know of any virtual machines that have 3d support? [06:58] Humanzy, I go around showing people terminal :) [06:58] can i install amd64 with a i386 cd? [06:58] coreymanshack, VMware products have experimental accelerated graphics. [06:58] Zippy2, but i would recommend installing 64-bit anyway, just backup ur home dir and transfer all ur files/settings over [06:58] Zippy2, no [06:58] damnit [06:58] vmware has beta directx support [06:58] I need help My applications maximize/minimize/close bar vanished. [06:58] can anyone suggest a wifi strength meter? (just a meter, not like nm-applet for managing wifi connections) [06:58] firefox, them all [06:58] pcglue: iwconfig [06:58] Creed: for that you want to use xdmcp, you enable that in system->admin->login window [06:58] Creed, are any of those products free on linux yet? [06:59] Creed: then you can log into the other machine via the login window on the first machine [06:59] hi [06:59] Evanlec, VMware Server is free, Workstation is pay but its faster, so whatevers your taste. [06:59] nickrud, hmm thanks Ill give that a try. [06:59] 1.2MBps off wifi. nice [06:59] vmware isn't free is it? [06:59] Creed, yes but which one has the accelerated graphics feature [06:59] Zippy2: sorry, i meant something graphical, like a screenlet or something that goes on a panel [06:59] pcglue: kwifimanager? [06:59] vmware player and vmware server are free [07:00] oh ok... [07:00] Creed: or you can use ssh -X and simply open a window onto the other machine. There are other techniques as well, but I'm not really well versed in this [07:00] alright, i replaced the macromedia plugin [07:00] Zippy2: thanks, i'll take a look at that [07:00] but it didn't change [07:00] its the kde app [07:00] i got a question [07:00] so far, out of hte box, i'm highly impressed with ubuntu. [07:00] vmware is free, small f [07:00] it's just *usable* [07:00] Zippy2: will that work on ubuntu (vs. kubuntu)? [07:00] see if somebody can help me [07:00] i cant play videos. its useless to me [07:00] Evanlec, the accelerated graphics are in both the pay and the free version. It involves adding a few lines to the .vmk (config) files for the VM you want to enable it in. [07:00] pcglue: it should install any dependencies [07:00] can someone help me get my min,max, and close panels back? [07:00] yes i know vmware is free.... [07:01] is there an ubuntu dvd [07:01] Creed, lets say for example winxp? [07:01] Zippy2, yes there is [07:01] gary_inNYC: you make the user on linux and xp enters user and pass on the share xp you can use simple file sharing or not [07:01] can somebody help me on upgrading my ubunt version [07:02] pamela: do u have all updates fo 5.10 ? [07:02] Does anybody else having problem with incorrect time (7.10)? [07:02] What's the difference between the CD and the DVD? The .iso is still 700 MB, right? [07:02] where [07:02] xTheGoat121x: the difference is the dvd is 7 times bigger [07:02] im kinda liking ubuntu :) [07:02] xTheGoat121x: more repos [07:02] pamela: you need the right repos in your sources list [07:02] ir0nfusion, Evanlec yup, works in XP. [07:02] err [07:02] i went to the update manager and it keeps saying that i have the updated version [07:02] meant that for Evanlec [07:02] how do i check that? [07:03] pamela: you can't upgrade from 5.10 to 7.04, ubuntu only supports upgrades from one version to the next [07:03] nickrud, I dont have a Login Window option :-/ [07:03] I selected Toronto (-5GMT) time zone and my time is 10:00 instead of 2:00PM... ??? [07:03] <[chr0n0s]> how/where do i set path ??? [07:03] xTheGoat121x, no the dvd is much bigger, has a lot more packages, good for doing offline installs [07:03] Zippy2: kwifimanager tries to manage networks, so it's not just a meter [07:03] That's good to know about the DVD [07:03] hey, I configured my wireless card with ndiswrapper... and it scans for networks fine [07:03] GerbilJammer: me too :) [07:03] Creed, have u tried it? [07:03] How to default firefox ? [07:03] pamela: yes you have to go one version at a time [07:03] pcglue: oh just a meter. apt-cache search wireless or something [07:03] but will never connect to my network [07:03] Evanlec, Im in it right now :) [07:03] it just stalls trying to connect [07:03] ck, system>preferences>preferred applications [07:03] Creed system->admin->login window, it's gotta be there if you have gdm installed [07:03] i know that, but i've tried to go to the next version and i haven't been successful [07:03] crdlb: thx ;) [07:03] Creed, nice, u running XP? how does the 3d acceleration work? any good at all? [07:04] <[chr0n0s]> nickrud, : how/where do i set path ??? [07:04] pamela: try update-manager -c in a terminal [07:04] nickrud, I have Keyring, Language, Network...No Login Window :S [07:04] pamela: the repos may be old you need to add them to sources.list [07:04] Flux, my question basically is, are samba user accounts its own accounts, or are they derived from local user accounts on my gutsy box [07:04] I have an AVI file with a bunch of HTML junk at the beginning that seems to be keeping me from playing it. Is there any easy way to strip out that junk? [07:04] Creed: sudo aptitude reinstall gdm [07:04] Evanlec, its good for making XP usable thats running as a VM, but for gaming I wouldnt recommend it. [07:04] pamela: just get a fresh install [07:04] nickrud, alright, Ill try that. [07:04] pamela: or just order the new ubuntu from ushipit [07:05] hi guys, has any one installed vmware under gusty? [07:05] [chr0n0s]: you want to add to your path? [07:05] Creed, what do u mean usable? [07:05] <[chr0n0s]> how/where do i set path for java ? [07:05] gary_inNYC: you need to have both users; samba and linux user === Barborello is now known as Barbarello [07:05] hey i'm in a livecd trying to get my bios raid working. when i run `dmraid -s`, my raid set shows up, but when i run `dmraid -ay` nothing gets created in /dev/mapper/ can anyone help? [07:05] Creed, what other point would there be to the accelerated graphics [07:05] <[chr0n0s]> nickrud, sun java [07:05] anyone? [07:05] [chr0n0s]: how did you install sun java? [07:05] marik: /dev/md0? [07:05] dmesg|grep md? [07:05] Evanlec, makes the windows more responsive/faster, browsing inside a VM is much nicer, things like that. [07:05] i can't get the screen and graphics tool to recognize my two monitors. this is a common problem right? is there any (easy) solution for it? [07:05] are they the same account name though? between samba user accts and local user accts? [07:06] Evanlec, you underestimate how much accelerated graphics do on an OS :) Its not just for gaming anymore. [07:06] Evanlec, hasnt been for years. [07:06] marik, u trying to install ubuntu to a fakeraid? [07:06] marik: the live cd is not a full install .. all things will not work [07:06] gary_inNYC: yes, all must be the same as well as Windows users that will connect to it [07:06] How would I reformat a Usb mps player? [07:06] [chr0n0s]: it matters, how [07:06] Creed, really? so we're talking 2d acceleration? [07:06] has any one found a way to install vmware under gusty gibbon? [07:06] Evanlec, pretty much [07:06] tiago, lots of ppl have [07:07] tiago, which vmware product? player or server? [07:07] nickrud: can you help me troubleshoot problem with incorrect time displayed? [07:07] <[chr0n0s]> nickrud, sudo apt-get install java7-sdk [07:07] i can't get the screen and graphics tool to recognize my two monitors. this is a common problem right? is there any (easy) solution for it? [07:07] either way i am sure it has been done [07:07] creed: ether, but preferably server [07:07] tiago, in either case, yes people have. They all work. [07:07] i looked on the repos to see if i had the correct ones but i don't know how to get the new ones [07:07] ok, that means my local user acct is the same as the samba user acct, to which has to be the user acct of someone else's computer in a Windows machine... that can't be [07:07] Creed: is there a repository i can use? [07:07] tiago, I currently have server installed on my server box and running workstation on my current PC. [07:07] Creed, sweet, i think i might just switch from vbox to vmware then, is there a ubuntu package for the new vmware? [07:07] How to manage my started up applications on boot? [07:07] [chr0n0s]: ok, if you used an ubuntu package ( sun-java6-sdk ) sudo update-alternatives --config java , and select the jdk [07:07] pamela: you can't get the new ones you need the older ones [07:08] I'm looking for help with a problem in Nautilus. When I click on a shell script and it asks me if I want to Run in Terminal or Display, and I click Display, nothing happens. I can right click the file and open in a text editor, but I want to get the Display button working, what's the point of the Display button if it's broken? [07:08] anyone know why when my card is set up with ndiswrapper it can scan for networks fine but not connect to my network, even with WEP turned off [07:08] how do i check if have the correct ones [07:08] tiago, if you're comfortable installing for source archives, I'd grab it off VMware's website. Else enable the extra repos and apt-get away. [07:08] Barbarello: system>session [07:08] gary_inNYC: yes, all user names and passwords must be the same for all users and they all must be in samba, linux and windows [07:08] and i don't mean the new ones, just the ones for the next version which i think is 6.04 [07:08] Creed: is that just in sources? [07:09] Nallep, does it really matter? u can make it do what u want it to do... [07:09] Bonster: Yeah, its so. I've removed and add some, but its not work ( [07:09] save session? [07:09] how to disable update notifier for example [07:09] Evanlec, How can I edit what the Display button does? [07:09] pamela: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list , change all references to breezy to dapper , then sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop , then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:09] Creed, why install from source over apt-get? [07:09] * nickrud hasn't typed that for a very long time :) [07:09] shane634: it should at least be able to install... [07:09] Nallep, that i dont know [07:09] Evanlec: ya [07:10] tiago, I take that back, no vmware packages are available from apt. [07:10] nickrud: thanks again [07:10] hmm jasper, webcam in kopete? i'm not finding it in the repos [07:10] yeah, its autosaves [07:10] and manually too [07:10] i can't get the screen and graphics tool to recognize my two monitors. this is a common problem right? is there any (easy) solution for it? [07:10] marik, well good luck with that, i found that to be quite frustrating, i gave up on it [07:10] So does anyone knwo what's up with the nvidia hwcursor distortion? [07:10] marik: install it then.. not run as a livecd [07:10] in the list theres no update notifier, but it loads! [07:10] shane634: I used to have that in a xchat text replace :) [07:10] tiago, actually dont listen to me lol Ive screwed over my install pretty bad and am no doubt missing repos/sources. [07:10] marik, from what ive heard, other distros work better with those sort of raid setups [07:10] where do i type this, pressing crt alt f1, is that right? [07:10] Creed: how would i go about downloading and installing it from vmware? is it very complicated? [07:10] DigitalAngel: it's like the old 3dfx laptop cards with the bitblip text problem :) [07:10] any one can teach me how to type chinese here [07:10] pamela: that would work great [07:10] shane634: i cant because it wont recognize my raid [07:11] Hello everybody [07:11] does anybody know how to record streaming auddio with VLC player? [07:11] tiago, they include a readme file but it mainly just involves their perl installer. [07:11] pamela: and since this channel moves so fast, putting someones nick on the line will make sure they see it [07:11] militant : unfortunatly when I go SWCursor in the xorg my F1 terminal becomes unreadable [07:11] <[chr0n0s]> nickrud, how to configure path if i used bin file from sun [07:11] Barbarello: u need to uncheckmark it if u dont want the updater loading [07:11] marik: try the alternate cd perhaps [07:11] !twinview | chipbuddy [07:11] chipbuddy: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [07:11] Creed: is it gui friendly? or lots of commands? [07:11] DigitalAngel: exciting. sounds fun. i haven't a clue, sorry. [07:11] so bottom line, i have to create a second local user account, add that account as a samba user, and make sure that the new local account and samba user have the same properties (username and password) as the targeted Windows User to access my shares [07:11] tiago, the installer is terminal based but it consists mainly of yes/no questions. [07:12] tiago, vmware itself is gui based. [07:12] Creed: ok ill give it a try [07:12] Zippy2: does not exist [07:12] nickrud: once i do all this i have reboot the computer or how do i exit oout of that screen [07:12] !

[07:12] anyone has a clue howto to make the pic of emblems bigger than it is in gusty, they are currently sos small [07:13] IS Ubuntu or Debian better for Devloping Programms ? [07:13] Creed: the lack of packages and inability to use dual screen with my ati card are almost enough to send me back to feisty [07:13] gary_inNYC: first you create (or get informations) about Windows users, than you add linux users and on the end you add samba users [07:13] Creed, so to answer my question, i need to grab vmware from their website to get the gfx accel, or can i use apt ?? [07:13] anyone has a clue howto to make the pic of emblems bigger than it is in gusty, they are currently sos small [07:13] what i need to work with multiple monitors? [07:13] dapper is the last stable LTS release [07:13] hub_, they'd be about the same i'd say [07:13] pamela: reboot, but for later info, ctl-alt-f7 takes you back to the gui [07:13] gary_inNYC: make sure your WORKGROUP is with the same name === Ni_Ten is now known as Ni_Ten-doze [07:14] hub_: debian because ubuntu is a strip of debian === vertigo_ is now known as Ni_Ten-linux [07:14] gary_inNYC: so WORKGROUP name on Windows and in samba.conf is the same [07:14] if it don't work go back to dapper [07:14] [chr0n0s]: I'm not sure, I always use the ubuntu java, but ... [07:14] has any one got dual monitors working on an ati card under gusty gibbon? [07:14] nickrud, Im still missing the login window option :( Im running gnome-session over a forwarded X session if that makes any difference. Any chance you know the program name for the login window that I can run via cli? [07:14] ok, now its starting to get clear. thx for being so patient. yes, the workgroup part was the one and only thing i managed to figure out lol [07:15] tiago, yes I dualhead working on a X1300/1550 or something like that at college (my machine). [07:15] Creed: yes, that would make a difference. [07:15] nickrud: thanks, will try it and comeback if i wasn't able to [07:15] <[chr0n0s]> nickrud, kk, me googling [07:15] Creed: did it work out of the box? [07:15] Creed, hello? [07:15] pamela: I'll be leaving shortly, but there's plenty of people that come thru here that can help you finish. Also, some reading: [07:15] tiago, took me a class period (~2 hours) to get it to work. [07:15] if it ain't broke don't upgrade lol [07:15] Creed: what was involved? [07:16] nickrud: no linky [07:16] Evanlec, sorry your message got lost while I was tabbed out of xchat. You will have to grab vmware off its official website. I don't belive accelerated graphics works on anything aside from XP/Windows as the host though... [07:16] why does totem suck at streaming so much? [07:16] tiago, install it and find out... [07:16] Creed, k, thx [07:16] Evanlec: im running gusty now [07:16] Pie-rat1: totem is bad in my experience [07:17] pamela: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes (had to find it :) [07:17] tiago, Umm dont remember exactly but I followed two guides (both had great tips) and just played with it till it worked right. [07:17] tiago, okay? [07:17] Evanlec: the new display settings has the option to activate the second monitor grayed out [07:17] Bonster: :) i've even killed updater from list of loading - nothing to uncheñk [07:17] get it back and uncheck?? [07:17] ive added one application, but it's not loaded at startup ( [07:17] if i leave rythmbox for example loaded and reboot my pc, it loaded at next session, cuz sessions autosaved [07:17] my final question is isn't there a way to just set shares so that all computers in a LAN can access it, regardless of their individual usernames? i read about security = share , and guess account = nobody. shouldn't that allow access in such a way? [07:17] nickrud: once again thanks [07:17] i find xine/mplayer/vlc play videos with half the CPU that totem needs [07:18] Creed: ok thanks mate [07:18] tiago, oh im sorry, ur talkiing about the dual-monitor ati problem? sry didnt mean to be rude [07:18] but if i kept ppptray-application running, its not loaded at next startup [07:18] nickrud, some quick Googling and I found gdmsetup as the program I need to run to execute the Login Window program. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. [07:18] tiago, anytime. [07:18] ubuntu has their own precompiled nvidia drivers with 3d accel? [07:19] DigitalAngel: yes and not very good ones [07:19] DigitalAngel, they didnt make them, they're in the restricted drivers manager in gutsy [07:19] Creed: np, you thru me, you're already using xdmcp if I read your answer correctly [07:19] tiago: the second monitor on may card "start tested today" work like a copy of the default and it appear disable [07:19] nickrud can I bother you again? [07:19] <[chr0n0s]> nickrud, i need to execute this command at user login,, syndaemon -t 2 -d , where do i put it ? /etc/profile ? [07:19] hrm, been sitting here reading the discussion attempting to figure out the issue I have [07:20] foxiness: sorry i dont quite follow [07:20] [chr0n0s]: put it in ~/.gnomerc [07:20] <[chr0n0s]> nick i use xfce [07:20] [chr0n0s]: you do want to run it when you log into gnome, and only once (not every time you open a terminal, right) [07:20] world: sure, I might know [07:21] nickrud, yeah Im using xdmcp, just didnt know how to get VNC working without any user interaction after a reboot aside from connecting the vnc client to the server (planning on setting it up as a thin client server, single login). [07:21] <[chr0n0s]> nickrud, right, only once at login [07:21] [chr0n0s]: then somewhere in .xfce there might be a place, but I don't know xfce at all [07:21] <[chr0n0s]> nickrud, alright, thanks for the help [07:21] Creed: most of that went in one eye and out the other ;) [07:21] nickrud Thanks. I have an issue now firefox is asking what to do with a phtml file. [07:22] world: sure, I might know the answer [07:22] Hello does anyone know about Ubuntu and yabb? [07:23] nickrud and issue 2 drupal is in a sub file not at the actual site.

[07:23] Me again about the Wireless: I installed Wicd Manager, and it says "No Wireless Networks found" so does that mean that my wireless card is detected? [07:23] nickrud, there is no option to choose for local delivere [07:24] nickrud, I can only choose a POP or an SMTP server [07:24] world: cd /var/www && sudo cp -r drupal/* .

Anyone know what packages are likely to be involved? Alternatively, a long time ago someone told me a command that would do checksums of every binary installed by a package, and tell me what didn't match the ones in the package. Anybody know what that command might have been? [07:28] My sound card works on a Gutsy live CD session but doesn't work on my upgraded ( from feisty ) system === DarthShr1ne is now known as DarthShrine [07:29] zcat[1]: linux-image-$(uname -r) , xorg-driver-fglrx , and linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) [07:29] zcat[1]: erm, never mind, just had to do that to ati :) [07:29] I'm thinking about switching to linux exclusively, but can I. for example - printout an envelop with addresses in my address book from openoffice for example? I'm just wondering if it's as polished for everyday tasks like windows apps are [07:29] I am getting mysql access denied errors, but the login information is exact, help;? [07:29] how to restore session [07:29] hi i'm trying to compile some source files which require ALSA. what package am i looking at? [07:30] nickrud, may I please ask you to tell me how to send mails by using SENDMAIL in thunderbird? [07:30] cannot login more than 10 sec [07:30] is there a function of multiple monitors "dual screen" on ubuntu ? and how to active this function? [07:30] dmesg reports: "[46278.432000] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0" What kind of device is 'sr0'? [07:30] alienseer23 : what are you trying to do?

[07:30] Romina: no, I've never set up sendmail, and try to avoid postfix & exim relays [07:30] yes [07:30] digitalangel:set up 'webcalendar' [07:30] nickruck: i'm back and i don't think it updated [07:30] hai [07:30] thats not working [07:30] still logout after 10sec [07:31] alienseer23: have you checked yoru folder / file permissions? [07:31] nickrud: already reinstalled restricted modules. when I run Xorg it still complains. [07:31] pawan, Even when you do a failsafe terminal session? [07:31] yes [07:31] pamela: I read back, and realized I'd missed a step but you were gone. apt-get update after doing the editing of sources.list, before apt-get dist-upgrade.

[07:31] nickrud, hmm I still can't login via VNC :( Doesnt even connection on :0 [07:31] pawan, What do you see when you try the failsafe terminal session? [07:31] zcat[1]: you'll probably need to reinstall the xorg driver as well [07:31] alienseer23: yup, as well as where you store your SQL database's [07:31] is there a way to disable the failsafe Xorg stuff? [07:31] pawan, what dont u understand about not pasting in here? [07:31] the terminal window [07:32] mindframe-, Yes [07:32] nickrud: I got as far as getting it to load the proper nvidia module.... took forever, but I finally found some .nvidia_new_installed flag that was making it try to load the nvidia_new.ko module instead of the plain nvidia.ko one.. [07:32] mindframe-, Why? [07:32] how to [07:32] with prompt [07:32] nickrud: i did the apt-get update after the apt-get dist-upgrade [07:32] pamela: do it before [07:32] .. which is why I tried installing the damn binary installer in the first place, but it broke ten times as much as it fixed!! [07:32] well... all it does for me is bring me to a black screen where ctrl+alt+bkspc and ctrl+alt+f* do nothing [07:32] pawan, Then it goes away after 10 seconds? [07:32] anyone know if there's a good alternative for quicken for linux? [07:32] its quite annoying when you're trying to diagnose [07:32] or does quicken even run on linux? [07:33] I am so close to just reinstalling the whole fscking box... [07:33] linuxnoob: GNUCash [07:33] GRRRRR [07:33] i get ur session expierd message [07:33] zcat[1]: I had an nvidia, but that was back in dapper days, when there was only one driver. I've never learned this new-fangled multi version stuff [07:33] DigitalAngel: what's your experience with it? [07:33] when i click of then it goes [07:33] zcat[1], the FileSystemChKing box? :P [07:33] ok, when i went to the sources.list, you said just change everything in reference to breezy to draper, right? even where it shows the version 5.10 to 6.04? [07:33] if the message is there ons creen i stay logged [07:33] linuxnoob: works for my bills and keeps a good track on things? [07:33] yeah something like that. rage! [07:33] nickrud: [07:33] mindframe-, I think you can just rename /etc/gdm/failsafeXinit [07:33] could someone help me with my refresh/screen resolution problem? [07:33] so perhaps reinstall xserver-xorg? [07:33] how do you change the settings of libnotify? [07:34] jambon: what's teh issue? [07:34] It's compalining about xgl shit now.. [07:34] pamela: if it still doesn't work, put a copy of your /etc/apt/sources.list on paste.ubuntu-nl.org [07:34] !resolution | jambon [07:34] jambon: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [07:34] DigitalAngel: can it do single click update on all accounts ? Did you ever run quicken and can you say if it's same or better? [07:34] GAH Why can't I be able to login using VNC without first having to login locally? I'm about to kick my server till it breaks... [07:35] linuxnoob: so far as single click updates, is something I never do, but I can say at least for me it was mch better and more detailed [07:35] digitalangel:what should the permissions be set to? [07:35] Creed: use xdmcp instead? [07:35] dmesg reports: "[46278.432000] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0" What kind of device is 'sr0'? [07:35] Creed, Just use ssh -X, it's easier and uses less bandwidth :) [07:35] or ssh -X [07:35] alienseer23: IMO 755 but check with soe of teh others here just to be sure. [07:35] brb reboot [07:36] digitalangel:that is what they are [07:36] Jordan_U, that requires running a X server locally, Im trying to get it working to use the machine as a thin client for my parents room and a thin client PC in the kitchen. [07:36] Jordan_U, ssh -X ? that gives u gui over ssh? [07:36] * nickrud will have to get all this freenx and vnc and xdmcp and ssh -X wrapped around his head some day [07:36] nickrud: well, when i went to the sources.list, it all seemed that it was websites, is that what it's supposed to look like [07:36] composite extension [07:36] I'm using Emerald to do compiz themes, but metacity is still managing the interior of windows. Is that normal? [07:36] who do you enable [07:36] Tem, yes it is. [07:36] pamela: yes, those are the sites that you will download new packages from during the upgrade [07:37] Tem, Metacity is a window manager, it has nothing to do with the contents [07:37] I mean how do you enable compostie exensiooon [07:37] Tem, What you are thinking of is GTK [07:37] pamela: the key is changing breezy to dapper [07:37] brandon, Depends on your card, some drivers don't support it [07:37] radeon 200 [07:37] Evanlec, Yup :) [07:37] pamela: then apt-get update so you get the new lists of packages in dapper, then you can dist-upgrade to dapper [07:38] should I reinstall xserver-Xorg from within X? Guess I'll find out.. [07:38] My sound card works on a Gutsy live CD session but doesn't work ( isn't even recognised ) on my upgraded ( from feisty ) system [07:38] ive made a thin client before [07:38] hmm.. no crash [07:38] I hade desktop effects but i reinstalled and i forgot what to type on terminall to enable the extension [07:38] something xorg [07:38] zcat[1]: just reinstalling xserver-xorg will do nothing, it's only a metapackage [07:38] nickrud: ok, just breezy, not anything else but breezy? what about on top where i think it's the title and it has the version on top, don't change that? [07:38] i ran X localy with tcp listening enabled(and did xhost +192.168.x.y) [07:39] then i could do DISPLAY=thinclientip:0 xterm & [07:39] on another system [07:39] Jordan_U, dahh, but that doesnt help me if im connecting to my ubuntu box from a windows machine does it... [07:39] pamela: no, only breezy in the web references. After you do that, put it up on that pastebin and I'll check it [07:39] Evanlec, You can use cygwinx [07:39] does any one know what to enter in terminal to enable compostie extension [07:39] DISPLAY=thinclient:0 gnome-session& would cause it to act like i logged into the thin client(with everything running on the box i ran gnome-session on) [07:40] who was running wow in wine? [07:40] brandon, Depends on your card, some drivers don't support it, what graphics card do you have? [07:40] nickrud: how do it put it on the paste bin, just type the command you told me and then press enter or what? [07:40] why is it that when I play .MOV files in Movie Player its green halfway through the picture? [07:40] In a terminal, when I type the name of a program that exists in the repos but isn't installed, in addition to saying "command not found", I'm told the program isn't installed, and that I can install it using apt-get. This is annoying because doing this search each time I mistype a command takes so long. How do I turn it off? [07:40] dmesg reports: "[46278.432000] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0" What kind of device is 'sr0'? [07:40] Jordan_U, oh? how's that compare to vnc or freenx? [07:40] Evanlec: there's a different vlc server you can install that actually creates a virtual desktop, rather than connecting to the real one. apt-cache search vnc I guess.. it's one of those [07:40] Jordan_U, apologies for the incorrect terminology. My 'issue' if it can be called such is that the compiz themes only effect the window borders and title bar; the current theme (clearlooks, human, darklooks, ect) still has control of the color and appearance of interior objects. Is this normal? [07:40] hello [07:40] ATI Radeon 200m [07:40] bullgard4: a faulty device? [07:40] <[chr0n0s]> ubuntu's first bug (not fixed yet) --> * neur2 (n=neuro@udp094183uds.hawaiiantel.net) has joined #ubuntu [07:40] cmerk: ctrl+c can cancle that search when you know you made a typo [07:40] <[chr0n0s]> I mean how do you enable compostie exensiooon [07:40] <[chr0n0s]> Tem, What you are thinking of is GTK [07:40] <[chr0n0s]> pamela: the key is changing breezy to dapper [07:40] <[chr0n0s]> brandon, Depends on your card, some drivers don't support it [07:40] <[chr0n0s]> radeon 200 [07:40] <[chr0n0s]> Evanlec, Yup :) [07:40] <[chr0n0s]> pamela: then apt-get update so you get the new lists of packages in dapper, then you can dist-upgrade to dapper [07:40] pamela: go to that website, paste.ubuntu-nl.org, then gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , and copy and paste. (gedit will be read only) [07:40] It works i just need to emable the compostie extension [07:40] <[chr0n0s]> sho [07:40] <[chr0n0s]> crap [07:40] <[chr0n0s]> sorry :( [07:40] clever[rev]: I don't want it to happen at all. [07:41] zcat[1]: I cannot recognize that your question answers my question. [07:41] cmerk: im not shure how to disable it but others here might know [07:41] bullgard4: usually sr0 is a cdrom/dvd drive [07:41] i know it was something like xorg/cofig or something like that [07:41] brandon, I can't help you if you don't answer my question [07:41] nickrud: ok, brb [07:41] bullgard4: ok.. on my box sr0 is a link to scd0.. which is a scsi device I think [07:41] nickrud: Why do you mention 'usually'? [07:41] ATI Radeon Xpress 200m [07:42] zcat[1]: Thank you. [07:42] brandon, Are you using fglrx> [07:42] ? [07:42] hey. My ppc Gutsy is broked. I found instructions on the forum, and type 'modprobe ide_core' in the safe terminal but it says 'FATAL:module ide_core not found. Is that normal??? [07:42] bullgard4: because nothing is certain until it's verified [07:42] Yes [07:42] hi all! anyone know of a tool to convert text from one locale to another? like from UTF to ISO === adante_ is now known as adante [07:42] nickrud: Thank you. [07:42] netyire: using recode [07:42] bullgard4: if I was at your machine, I could use definitely [07:42] zcat[1]: sda would be the first 'scsi' drive(usb and sata drives also show up as scsi) [07:42] ;-( [07:43] zcat[1]: also my ubuntu started to treat pata drives as scsi for a short while a few months ago(hda turned into sda) [07:43] Has anyone in here got OpenSWAN working with KLIPS. PLEASE say something. [07:43] bullgard4: by usually, I think he means the installer / boot process dynamically decides where to point that link. ls -l /dev/sr0 will show you where your one is pointing, because it will likely be a link to the 'real' device name [07:43] tarzeau: Thanks! [07:43] all i need to do is enable composite extension [07:43] brandon, Have you installed the latest version from ATI's website? [07:43] I'll even pay for someones time.. [07:43] nickrud: The problem is that I want to help a neophyte and I myself do not have a sr0 device. [07:43] zcat[1]: the symlink under /dev/ is made by udev(which has a flexible set of rules to addjust it) [07:44] no I cant figure out the gz shit Im new === clever[rev] is now known as clever [07:44] which is one reason for uuid, that abomination [07:44] Ahhh yes.. I've wrestled with udev before.. [07:44] zcat[1]: i used udev a bit when i wanted 2 webcams to come up with fixed names [07:44] * zcat[1] knows plenyy about extracting gz :) [07:44] zcat[1]: i set it to make a symlink for both [07:44] Darian2: Es ist wahrscheinlich, daß Dein CDROM/DVD-Laufwerk die Verzögerung verursacht. Die dmesg weisen darauf hin. [07:44] zcat[1]: so id allways have a symlink /dev/3com pointing to the real video device of the cam [07:45] hi, I tried looking on the fix resolution site, under the ATI section (as I'm running an ati card with the fglrx drivers) but it told me the the command aticonfig was not found. ??? [07:45] brandon, Only the latest version ( newer than the one in Gutsy ) works with composite [07:45] ./etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules:SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", SYSFS{model}=="3Com Home Connect Lite", SYMLINK+="video3com" [07:46] ugh, I am so glad that udev has had some love over the years. [07:46] another issue is that my laptop screen doesn't work, so I have it hooked to an external monitor. However, I can't get the laptop screen to stay off. Playing video or restarts always turn it back on [07:46] hello [07:46] clever: yeah.. a friend of mine has four soundcards.. when I upgraded to dapper (iirc) they all started jumping around randomly every reboot. Had to grok udev so we could make them get allocated to /dev/dspx the same order every boot.. [07:46] ok after I down load it from the site it is in .run format how do I install [07:46] how to restore sessions [07:46] zcat[1]: yeah i have the same problem with my 2 sound cards [07:46] how to automatically login [07:46] zcat[1]: been too lazy to fix it in udev so i made a bash script [07:47] zcat[1]: the script simply rmmod's both drivers then loads them back in a fixed order [07:47] I've gotta go, could someone pick up pamela when she comes back? Her sources.list needs to be checked for a breezy to dapper upgrade [07:47] In the end I think we actually just set 'index=' somewhere else, but I learned more than I wanted to know about udev trying to figure it out [07:47] zcat[1]: udev loads all drivers in paralel(causing race conditions for the names and faster performance) [07:48] Does anyone here know what 'modprobe ide_core' does? [07:48] I have the drivers on my desktop but i dont know how to install [07:48] pawan, you need to be patient, you're not the only one in here needing help [07:48] nicholaspaul: it loads the ide_core module [07:48] so anyhow.... dpkg or apt command that verifies checksums of all the binaries in all the packages I want verified? [07:48] it is in .run format [07:48] nicholaspaul: loads a module names ide_core [07:48] brandon, You need to install the build-essential package [07:49] brandon, just install xserver-xgl if you want compiz to work [07:49] Jordan_U, apologies for the incorrect terminology. My 'issue' if it can be called such is that the compiz themes only effect the window borders and title bar; the current theme (clearlooks, human, darklooks, ect) still has control of the color and appearance of interior objects. Is this normal? [07:49] the new fglrx is not read for primetime [07:49] ok but im running 7.10 [07:49] nicholaspaul: you can do lsmod to see if that module is already loaded [07:49] clever zcat[1] so if it says not found, is that bad? [07:49] if just wanna add in kubuntu on ubuntu? [07:49] . [07:49] thought I didint need XGL [07:49] Hi folks, just reinstalled Ubuntu and my local time is all screwed up. I tried to sync with a time server but it doesn't want to change. [07:50] brandon, crdlb is right, the easiest thing to do is just install the "xserver-xgl" package and restart X === westalone is now known as kuta [07:50] nicholaspaul: that means you don't have it available to install [07:50] Creed, sorry to be a pain but, do i want vmware server or player? workstation costs $ correct? [07:50] ok what do I enter in terminal to install [07:50] can I just add kubuntu on ubuntu and select during startup on session? [07:50] nicholaspaul: you have a file named /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.ko somewhere? [07:50] linuxnoob: aah. poo. I'm trying to fix Gutsy that didnt upgrade properly. [07:50] Greyfox: tzconfig, perhaps? [07:50] Greyfox: if your timezone is set wrong then syncing with a time server wont fix it [07:50] brandon, To install xgl or to install the new drivers? [07:50] moin [07:50] XGL [07:51] nicholaspaul: what makes you think you need that module? [07:51] brandon, sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl [07:51] hi [07:51] clever: My timezone is set to Pacific but it's not wanting to sync. [07:51] hi channel [07:51] Evanlec, server is what you want. Player only lets you run VM's, it wont let you create them. You can use player after you create them using server or run the VM's though. [07:51] linuxnoob: well, i'm following instructions on the forum saying that i need to , to get Gutsy install working on my ppc. [07:51] i must install Java [07:51] zcat[1]: just trying to find it... [07:51] !java | ozgur [07:51] ozgur: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre [07:51] I think last time i did this i kept getting logged off [07:51] Greyfox: turn the clock forward/back 5mins [07:52] nicholaspaul: what was the module name? [07:52] Greyfox: so when it does sync back in youll see it(mins are rarely affected by timezone) [07:52] Creed, okay cool, thx, u downloaded the tarball? [07:52] i cant make a new account IBM website [07:52] can someone tell me what this means for me...? http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/07/10/23/1913239.shtml [07:52] Greyfox: then youll see if its a time sync problem or a timezone problem [07:52] java file is there [07:52] I have the ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 [07:52] Sure I'll try that clever. [07:52] :) [07:52] GreyFox iam mgsfan too [07:52] linuxnoob: it says 'ide_core but i think its 'ide-core' [07:52] Greyfox hi [07:52] Now how do i install the drivers I am going to do that anywaaaay [07:53] linuxnoob: ide_core (which I'm not using here, even with all IDE drives..) [07:53] zcat[1]: just trying to find it...I have 'ide-core.ko' [07:53] does anyone know what kernel version is in the gutsy PXE netboot images? [07:53] Okay so I need to get klips installed but it says I need to patch the kernel and stuff. Anyone know where I can learn to do this. Any site that has any instructions on this ?????? [07:53] Hi there ozgur. [07:53] klips for openswan [07:53] My god ubunto over complicate things! [07:54] nicholaspaul: when you modprobe foo_bar, the file it loads is actually named foo-bar.ko [07:54] world: windows is cheap. [07:54] world, u should try slackware ;) [07:54] I just did "aptitude install gnome-netstatus-applet". How do I get it to show up somewhere? [07:54] world: it's mean't to simplify things, actually [07:54] zcat[1]: oh i see. [07:54] brandon, You probably shouldn't if you are new to Ubuntu, for instance you will have to re-install it whenever there is a kernel or Xorg update if you install it manually [07:54] nicholaspaul: so the other question, why are you trying to load ide_core? [07:54] Yeah my sync isn't wanting to do anything. [07:54] but it says it cant find it. Dumb puter, i found it...lol [07:54] fingerprint scanners in linux? :D [07:55] nicholaspaul: where did you 'find' it? [07:55] how can I tell what fglrx version I am running? [07:55] is there a way to write directly to flash usb sticks? I'm administring a ubuntu-pc in school, and they always pull out their sticks without having them unmountet [07:55] d [07:55] Right here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=581280 [07:56] preferably, id just like to roll back to Feisty. [07:56] ;-( I want my puter back. [07:56] hi, how do you change the libnotify settings? [07:56] Ubuntu seems to be ignoring the volume settings, when i use the media keys for volume on my keyboard, i see the little popup telling me what the volume is set to, but the volume doesnt change, even when i hit the mute key, but when i use the volume controll at the top of the window under the little speaker icon, it changes, but not when i use the media keys, anyone know how to fix this? [07:56] Tilllinux: make then synchronous.. can't recall where you put the option, but it maks copying files to them about ten times slower. [07:56] Tilllinux: if you mount it with the proper sync option(-o sync i think) it will disable write caching and make it horibly slow [07:56] nickrud It's telling me to load httpd.conf and edit. Once again I don't have permition on my own system [07:56] nicholaspaul: whats your story? [07:56] samsung yp-u2jzw on ubuntu linux 6.06 lts [07:56] need help [07:56] Tilllinux: just let the idiots lose a few files, they'll learn :) [07:56] how can I tell what fglrx version I am running? [07:56] k thanks ;D [07:57] hi [07:57] what package do i need to play dvds? [07:57] Need some help with sftp [07:57] zcat[1]: yeah i know how slow it makes things(sync option) [07:57] mark_1982: apt-get install xine [07:57] linuxnoob ubuntu is anyhting but simple with security. Should have left root available [07:57] zcat[1]: in linux i can write to an entire floppy in seconds(and the slow part is umount) [07:57] world: just run debian :) [07:57] that work with all the dvd players? [07:58] zcat[1]: in winblows it takes several mins(longer because it keeps seeking to the fat table) [07:58] how do i configure my linuxbox to support sftp ? [07:58] zetheroo: Once upon a time, Feisty was a happy powerbook. But he wanted more, so Upgrade said 'hey, click me and you'll get GUTSY!'. Feisty was tempted, but when powerbook restarted there was nothing after the splash screen. Splash screen froze in the icy new kernel, but now all I can get is the Safe Terminal. [07:58] world: btw - you can still get root with ubuntu [07:58] mp3 player samsung yp-u2jzw help [07:58] clever: well, no.. You can dump 1.44M of files to cache really fast.. the slow part is the kernel moving them to floppy when you unmount :) [07:58] zcat[1]: yep [07:58] hi all! anyone know how what to type to get the tool recode (in the repos) to convert a text file from UTF 8 to ASCII? [07:58] zcat[1]: but its still faster because the kernel does it in 1 big seq write [07:58] nicholaspaul: thats awesome... but horrible... [07:58] mark_1982: oh.. you'll need libdvdcss or something like that, as well [07:59] nicholaspaul: got data you need to backup? [07:59] zetheroo: thank you. and yes. [07:59] what are my volume media keys controlling? because its not changing the volume [07:59] zetheroo: yes!!! [07:59] zcat[1]: winblow slowly writes to a file,seek,update fat,write to file,seek,update fat.... [07:59] linuxnoob you can, like where? [07:59] i need somebody to help update my ubuntu version [07:59] zcat[1]: causing it to take a great deal longer [07:59] world: sudo su [07:59] nicholaspaul: and you have no other machine around? [07:59] ok thanks [07:59] linuxnoob: try sudo -i [07:59] but even so.. cached they just get dumped to floppy in one big write.. sync they get written one fat entry, directory entry, and file at a time.. seek, seek, graunch, graunch.. [07:59] Hey all [07:59] I have sshd demon working, how do i enable sftp connections to my linuxbox ? === gordonjc1 is now known as gordonjcp [07:59] @pamela do a clean install [07:59] zetheroo: oh i have other machines. [07:59] linuxnoob that's useless for what I'm trying to do === frskN_ is now known as Cryptochild [08:00] zetheroo: like the one i'm on. [08:00] you can use sudo bash to get to root [08:00] Some_ux: I though sftp just works over port 22 like ssh sessions? [08:00] world: what are you trying to do? [08:00] how do i do that, just download it from the website, is that what you mean [08:00] nicholaspaul: so transfer your data and install Gutsy from scratch [08:00] I installed Ubuntu 7.10 last night and added the restricted ATi driver, rebooted, and now my screen has gone incredibly low res. How can I fix this and was that the wrong driver? [08:00] * nicholaspaul looks at other machine. [08:00] mark_1982: try sudo -i [08:00] ok [08:00] wolfen69: how do i do that, just download it from the website, is that what you mean [08:00] linuxnoob: i'd rather it use a non standart port [08:00] Hello does anyone know about Ubuntu and yabb? [08:00] hi, how do i find out if a service is running or not? From the command line, not from X.... [08:00] is there a gmail notifier for ubuntu? [08:00] Hexxeh: how did you go about adding the restricted driver? [08:00] zetheroo: yikes. i can only get to terminal...is there an easy way to tell Ubuntu to use that other kernel? [08:01] rofl... canonical should try testing these things a bit before they throw them up on the servers :) [08:01] shuveb: /etc/init.d/ssh status [08:01] zcat[1]: thats our job :D hehe [08:01] Some_ux: are you saying you want sftp to run over a different port than ssh? [08:01] zetheroo: The little notification that pops up said there were two restricted drivers available, I only installed the GFX one as the other was for my WiFi card which I don't need. [08:01] shuveb: may need root(aka sudo) [08:01] clever all and all I'm trying to serve a drupal site. right now I'm stuck on I need to open and edit a line in phtml.conf and it will not let me [08:01] hello, I have a small problem with resolv.conf keeping getting overwritten, could someone help me? [08:01] @pamela yes, download the latest ubuntu, and re-install [08:01] then how do i get out of root? [08:01] zcat[1]: aand i'm grossly underpaid.. [08:01] mark_1982: exit [08:01] oh [08:01] world: sudo editorname file.txt [08:01] seek top my place [08:01] that was easy haha [08:01] linuxnoob: yes [08:01] nicholaspaul: I don't know if the other kernel is still there..... but I would take the HDD out and whack it into the next machine ... get my data off and wipe the drive... [08:02] clever, looks like some scripts don't support 'status' [08:02] hello guys, my 7.10 show me that there are updates available, but when i press "install updates" nothing happens, any ideas? [08:02] damn [08:02] shuveb: yeah [08:02] The google.com dosnt work .. can any one Test ? [08:02] new Operabeta out http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?ver=9.50b&platform=linux [08:02] shuveb: if you know the program name you can ps aux|grep sshd [08:02] Hexxeh: sounds alright... have you tried getting the right res going? [08:02] dor0: What does `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -s dist-upgrade` give you? [08:02] what is dcopserver, ubuntu keeps saying to check if dcopserver is running whenever i try to open up a game [08:02] hub_: works here [08:02] zetheroo: easier said than done, its a laptop! [08:02] just a second to check [08:02] Some_ux: if port X is good for ssh, why wouldn't it be secure enough for sftp? just curious [08:02] pipak: fix your DHCP server so that resolv.conf gets the information you want it to get, then having it get overwritten won't be a problem. [08:02] okay, another question, how come when i try to save something i'm not able to save to my hard disk, it's not even an option, i guess i'm just too new to ubuntu [08:03] zetheroo: i have a few kernels in there, i just looked. === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode [08:03] nicholaspaul: yes I know... but then again I do that sorta thing for a living [08:03] clever, thats tricky - i'm trying to put together some scripts here [08:03] linuxnoob: using standart port is considered unsafe [08:03] shuveb: ah [08:03] how do i enable SELinux? [08:03] nicholaspaul: can you load into another kernel at startup? [08:03] zetheroo: It said it had to reboot, so I let it, and on reboot it said it had to go into safe graphics mode or something and asked me to setup resolutions, but the highest available for my two screens was 800x600, and I want 1600x1200 on one screen and 1280x1024 on the other. [08:03] /server irc.thundercity.net [08:03] Some_ux: yeah i get 200 failed passwords a day on my open ssh server(wide open on port 22) [08:03] well, it gives me a lot of things, can i whisper you? [08:04] linuxnoob: see what i mean :P [08:04] Hexxeh: have you gone to the Sceen and Graphics panel to change your screen type and res? [08:04] why didnt they just put all these dvd and mp3 codes in already so you dont have to get them? [08:04] clever: I suggest gpg authorisation and port 443 ;o [08:04] zetheroo: i did rebuild this lappy, but im running out of deskspace here, with that Nintendo DS in a million bits over there....heheh... how do i load into another kernel? you mean hit TAB at the Boot prompt? [08:04] mark_1982: the dvd codes arent legal in all countrys [08:04] zetheroo: Yeah, the highest res available is 800x600 though, I need 1600x1200 [08:04] what is dcopserver and how do i run it? [08:04] mark_1982: because playing DVD's is illegal in the USA [08:04] how do you PM someone on here? [08:04] mark_1982: so if it was installed by defaults you might break laws just by installing ubuntu:P [08:04] jeeze ubuntu, stop doing crap with my cdrom drive ... :( [08:04] dor0: If it gives you lots of things to upgrade, then you have updates. No idea why update-manager isnt doing them, but you can do them by removing the -s [08:04] make it stop [08:05] Some_ux: I see. would it solve the problem if you just picked a random port# and had sftp and ssh use the same port? [08:05] Hexxeh: what Screen do you have it set to? [08:05] mark_1982: and because some of the other codecs aren't freely redistributable.. [08:05] oh i see.. [08:05] it cant be as bad as what windows did with my CD drive, randomly ejecting it for no reason [08:05] well i guess thats understandable.. [08:05] Some_ux: how do you protect against port scanners? [08:05] clever nope [08:05] <[chr0n0s]> how do i install fusion-icon?, then sudo apt-get install fusion-icon doesn't seem to work [08:05] i think mandriva has them all in when you install it [08:05] linuxnoob: yes, but i dont know which /etc/ file holds the ssh config [08:05] oh jeeze, and these latest updates just fix a DOS security hole in PNG [08:05] zetheroo: Which monitor, is that what you mean? [08:05] Some_ux: /etc/ssh ? [08:05] how long oh lord ... how long [08:05] Billies: under linux the cd drive wont eject(manual or automatic) if its opened(or mounted) [08:06] Hexxeh: yes... [08:06] it did with windows [08:06] Screen 1 is Default Monitor, I disabled Screen 2 for now. [08:06] :( [08:06] Billies: the 'eject' program is usefull to eject the drive(it can auto umount first) or close the drive(eject -t) [08:06] how I enable SELinux? [08:06] mark_1982: frustrating, stupid DMCA, stupid software patents, stupid undisclosed formats.. [08:06] zcat[1]: It's slightly more complicated, I'm using a VPN client and resolv.conf keeps getting overwritten for some reason (which I don't know, maybe dhcp? but that'd be weird) every few minutes or so [08:06] Billies, I remember there was a script kiddie trojan tool going around to do that [08:06] open up ppls's cd rom drives [08:06] i have an easy question [08:06] zetheroo: i tried the 'old' option but it froze. [08:07] oh ok [08:07] nicholaspaul: there are some interesting codes here: http://www.herckb.com/2007/08/29/ubuntu-compiling-a-custom-kernel/ [08:07] Is there a simple way to get it to reconize wht to do with phtml? [08:07] well, the thing was, i think it was the drives hardware failing, it has a date on the bottom, its 7/99, 1999? thats when we had the computer the drive went to [08:07] pipak: hmm.. nasty fix is "sudo chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf" -- but finding out what's overwriting it, and why would be a batter answer. [08:07] i still cant play dvds [08:07] running ubuntu 7.10 x86 desktop in a vm... how do i force the numlock key on after initial boot and after logging off? [08:07] nicholaspaul: well ... you may have a real screwed up system then... [08:07] linuxnoob: pardon... apparently i'm stupid. I have aleady changed the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file to use a diffrent port than 22 [08:07] still missing codecs or plugins.... [08:07] what is dcopserver? ubuntu keeps asking me to run it when i try to play a game [08:07] nicholaspaul: I would really get the data backed up and renew the state of the machines OS... [08:08] Billies, that's a kde service [08:08] mark_1982: do you have libdvdcss installed? [08:08] oh, how do i start it? [08:08] mark_1982: did you install the non-free codecs from medibuntu? [08:08] zetheroo: dagnabbit. I'll give it a shot.. cheers :D [08:08] i installed totem [08:08] !codecs | mark_1982 [08:08] mark_1982: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [08:08] media [layer [08:09] nicholaspaul: ha..... its all part of the joy ... [08:09] not that i know of [08:09] mark_1982: I wonder if you install vlc if it might just automatically install all necessary packages [08:09] ok, so i guess the question is: how do i setup an XP client so that it will connect to the ubuntu ssh server [08:09] anyone know how to force numlock on at boot? [08:09] how do i install that? [08:09] lets say cuteFTP ? [08:09] numbers in your password? it annoys me too [08:09] mark_1982 : mark_1982: apt-get instasll vlc [08:09] mark_1982: ubuntu doesn't include the encrypted dvd codecs by default, you need to install them yourself, medibuntu has packages pre-made for this [08:09] mark_1982: easiest soultion is just run easyubuntu, check the boxes you want.. it does everything for you. [08:09] yes number in my password [08:10] Some_ux: i use winscp to connect to the sftp/scp server(in sshd) [08:10] is there a way to force it on? i see nothing anywhere [08:10] How do I leave a XDMCP/X session active after I close it (using Xming)? [08:10] Flannel: what -s switches do? [08:10] ok [08:10] How do I get the resolutions fixed then? [08:10] shane_: I think you do that in BIOS.. [08:10] in a vm? [08:10] I'd like to install all the fancy effects at some point a la Beryl. [08:10] vmware workstation 6.0.2.something or another [08:10] you think transformers is an encrypted dvd? [08:11] mark_1982: checkout http://www.medibuntu.org/ for the encrypted dvd codecs packages [08:11] Flannel: oh, simulate, ok thanks [08:11] hello [08:11] i need help [08:11] clever: I have putty, so i guess i also have psftp. How do i set that up ? [08:11] mark_1982: pretty much anything factory-stamped is encrypted. [08:11] ok thanks guys ill look in to th at [08:11] mark_1982: even the all-region ones I think! [08:11] Some_ux: i dont use putty's scp client [08:11] Anyone? [08:11] mark_1982: I just did apt-cache search libdvdcss and I see that there's a package called libdvdread with a description of "library for reading DVDs [08:11] Some_ux: i think its a cli based copy of scp which makes it more complex to use [08:12] 800x600 is a really annoying resolution [08:12] linuxnoob: nope; different thing [08:12] Some_ux: winscp gives you a listing of files on both sides and a full ui [08:12] clever: I dont really need something too fancy [08:12] Some_ux: scp doesnt even give a file listing [08:12] how do i start dcopserver? shouldnt it start when i start ubuntu? when i try to play some games that i downloaded from the package thingy, it says that dcopserver isnt running [08:12] have you eve install more than one linux os ? [08:12] Some_ux: with scp you have to know the full path of the source & dest file [08:12] ok. i am going to try and install libdvdcs [08:13] !dvd [08:13] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [08:13] How do I leave a XDMCP/X session active after I close it (using Xming)? [08:13] mark_1982: try sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh [08:13] zcat[1]: is libdvdcss still the thing you need to watch dvds? [08:13] !medibuntu [08:13] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [08:13] ok [08:13] I can't shut down ubuntu. When I hit the "Power" button on the top right it doesn't do anything,.... [08:13] Is it safe just to hit the reboot button ? [08:13] on my tower itself? [08:13] is there a command to go to another room in xchat? [08:13] linuxnoob: read this file if you have it /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/README.Debian [08:14] cube: /j #channel [08:14] my internet is slow!... [08:14] linuxnoob: its part of the 'libdvdread3' package [08:14] Anyone? How can I install the proper 3d driver for my X1800 if the one I got from restricted drivers wasn't the right one? [08:14] how do i make it red for when i talk back to someone? [08:14] clever: How does the client know the private key ? [08:14] Some_ux: normaly the public/private keys arent set at all [08:14] Hexxah: the one in the restricted drivers _is_ the right one... If it's not working you can try to use Envy [08:14] Some_ux: so you have to use a password [08:14] linuxnoob: yeah, libdvdread is (I think) something to do with how the filesystem is arranged on a dvd, libdvdcss2 is the library that decrypts encrypted VOB's into plain MPEG that you can play. [08:15] clever: password is not too safe [08:15] ill be back in a little bit [08:15] zcat[1]: Yes, indeed. Know any program to determine accessors to a file? [08:15] Some_ux: ssh protects the password [08:15] brad__: Envy? I want the one that works with Beryl really, frglx or something? [08:15] Some_ux: but saving the pw within winscp is less safe [08:15] zcat[1]: the vob files can be read normaly BUT the decryption is based on the position of the file on the raw device [08:16] zcat[1]: only root can view that info from the fs layer [08:16] pipak: no, but if you make it immutable, something might log a failure when it tries to write to it :) [08:16] clever: still, if you have a private key, and passphrase, that should be as safe as it can get [08:16] zcat[1]: so most dvd playing progs emulate the whole fs layer in userspace(reading the raw device) [08:16] Some_ux: yep [08:16] Hexxeh: Not too sure then, i'm a linux noob myself. Just know Envy is the open source alternative [08:16] Some_ux: get puttygen.exe from the putty site if you want to make a key pair [08:16] Some_ux: in any case, the chances of anyone getting your password even if it is sent in cleartext is fairly remote [08:16] !envy [08:16] envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly! [08:16] zcat[1]: Does Ubuntu kernel support inotify in case? [08:16] bah, he's gone [08:17] pipak: no idea sorry. [08:17] !ati [08:17] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [08:17] "As of 7.04 ( Feisty ) the easiest way to install binary drivers is to use the built in Restricted Driver Manager from System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager ( in Gnome )" [08:17] I'm in 7.10, but that's what I did. [08:17] hello :) [08:17] And it broke all my resolutions. [08:18] Hexxeh: Have you been into the settings manager? [08:18] Hexxeh: For Nvidia it's sudo nvidia-settings [08:18] Hexxeh: Not sure if ati drivers are as simple as sudo ati-settings or not .... doubt it! [08:18] how do i do the equivalent of copy and paste from the terminal? [08:18] I must admit, I find "bulletproof X" belongs more to the problem set than the solution set [08:18] brad__: I'm on an ATi X1800XL All-in-Wonder but I'm not bothered about the fancy AIW stuff [08:18] Moniker42: right click works in to show you those options(in gnome-terminal) [08:19] Moniker42: whatever you highlight is automatically in the 'clipboard' [08:19] how is it supposed to work? [08:19] hi [08:19] Moniker42: just right click to past [08:19] linuxnoob: theres 2 clipboards within X [08:19] It found aticonfig brad__, give it a shot? [08:19] Hexxeh: Once you enable the driver in restricted driver manager you need to configure it [08:19] Hexxeh: Yea, give it a try. [08:19] linuxnoob: the one your talking of is built into X itself at some layer [08:19] clever, works in? [08:19] linuxnoob: the 2nd is with ctrl+c and ctrl+v [08:19] i'm talking about from the terminal [08:20] i.e. so i can use sudo without starting nautilus as root [08:20] Moniker42: with X or no X? [08:20] Moniker42: theres different programs to get a terminal [08:20] Hexxeh: You may need to restart X a few times and play with it a bit, it took about 20 minutes of fooling around to get my dual 19" monitors working on my 2950GT KO [08:20] Moniker42: no, use gksu not sudo [08:20] 7950 GT KO** [08:20] Flannel, i know... [08:20] Moniker42: i mainly use xterm but gnome-terminal is the default [08:20] well i will have to get my dvd player to work tomorrow [08:20] I have this really weird problem. When I play back some video types, it plays fine on my first monitor and it is all green and scrambled on my second monitor. I can move the video back and forth and it goes from good to bad to good again. I'd like to file a bug report, but I have no idea what could be causing the issue! [08:20] "aticonfig: Writing to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' failed. Bad file descriptor." [08:20] Flannel, but suppose i want to copy and move files with gnome-terminal... how would i do that? [08:20] i am going to bed. ill also have to look at the forums or [08:21] I'm guessing that's not good. [08:21] Hexxeh: Not too sure... Are you going directly into the program?

[09:12] inversekinetix: thats ok, thanks. checking my log files [09:12] I've been unable to run linux since I upgraded I got a core 2 duo processor with an intel945 chipset from gigabyte everytime I try to start the live cd it says (initramfs) then it starts trying to access ata1 (my cd-rom drive I believe) and gives me error codes like emask timeout then some hex 0x4 action frozen of timeout. Anyone familar with this bug? [09:13] rainrunner87: then you need to run " sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg " and select the ati driver [09:13] *of or [09:13] inversekinetix, glxinfo | grep render ? [09:13] warbler: Thanks, reconfig'ing now. [09:14] thanks buttercups [09:15] ramah, could the disk be bad ? [09:15] anyone have any idea why the open source ati driver is running slower than my previous restricted fglrx driver? [09:16] pricex: the drive worked before my upgrade with my previous setup it is currently running a knoppix livecd [09:17] ramah, im thinking the new you burned a cd and the new one isnt boting [09:17] booting .. [09:18] warbler: have a guess as to whether a standard american dell laptop keyboard would be a pc101 or pc104? I'm thinking 104 for the presence of the windows key. [09:18] Why my display still goes blank when ive set it to never go blank from power management? [09:18] how do i enable mp3 playback in rhythm box?

Thanks. [09:22] Andycasss: I've had that problem in feisty for ages and can't get a suitable answer - I set my movie player to stop the screensaver [09:23] rainrunner87: best of luck [09:23] warbler: how do you set your movie player to stop the screensaver? [09:23] Yeah, same question, how? [09:23] lol ditto [09:23] Here I go again: Fonts in Gutsy look blurry when subpixel is enabled. However firefox-3 looks gorgeous. The blurness only affects GTK and Qt apps... Any Ideas about how to solve this issue? [09:24] OpenOffice looks OK but because it does not honor the subpixel thing [09:24] warbler: reconfig finished, still black. Trying the link you suggested again, to see if the extra lines showed up. [09:24] hmm Guillem_ i had some font issues my self when upgrading from feisty, did you do that aswell? [09:24] Aondo, this is the point [09:25] oxeimon: open the home folder and select "view" from near the top - then show hidden folders and there will a dot file for the movie player [09:25] Aondo, Have you solved it somewhat? [09:25] i did a complete reinstall, becaus i had to remove a certain ntfs partition anyway :P [09:25] Hmm, from what I'm reading, dual headed machines are problematic with Ubuntu and Beryl, true? [09:25] :( [09:25] warbler: what is it called? [09:25] it didnt have anything with what i did, only that i updated from feisty [09:26] Hexxeh, Beryl is so 2006 [09:26] warbler: and what do I do with it? [09:26] Guillem_: =O [09:26] warbler: still black. I'm officially confused. Any other suggestions for my dive into the world of googling? [09:26] What's the replacement, and does it look as spiffy? [09:26] Aondo, I've tried to reconfigure all the fontconfig packages... but yet not solved it... [09:26] I'm following this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=321766 [09:26] oxeimon: what is the movie player you use? [09:26] Aondo, I'll have to start the live-CD to see if the problem is only present at upgrades... [09:27] Guillem_, ye i dont know what is causing it, i didnt work so hard to find out, knowing i would do a complete fresh install later [09:27] warbler: totem, I don't see anything with that name in my home folder [09:27] thanks. music now working, is there an equalizer for rhythm box? or a broadcast plugin? [09:27] Can someone please tell me which process started by default on ubuntu access and write to /etc/resolv.conf? [09:27] Hexxeh, nvidia twinview + compiz-fusion has worked OK for me [09:27] Guillem_ only thing i did was creating a new user to see if the same thing happen there, and it did, so i knew that it would in that case go away with a fresh install and figured since i did upgrade to gutsy beta pretty early that there was something there that caused it [09:28] I'm on ATi =/ [09:28] .go ubuntu [09:28] Guillem what NV card do you use? [09:28] rainrunner87: there is a generic driver - vesa - dpkg-reconfigure again and select that as the driver [09:28] Aondo, I've upgraded from feisty... [09:28] brb [09:28] warbler: that's what was selected before. [09:28] inversekinetix, nvidia go 7600 I think [09:28] Guillem_ then we have kinda the same thing i would guess hehe [09:28] Anyone else here have a Sigmatel 92XX audio card? [09:29] inversekinetix, sorry. GeForce Go 7900 GS [09:29] rainrunner87: then try google - us dell and ubuntu gutsy [09:29] Guillem what fps do you get on that? [09:29] warbler: Kay, thanks for the tips [09:29] oxeimon: went to vlc as movie player - one min [09:29] inversekinetix, I enable vsync, and I get the 60 fps almost always [09:30] rainrunner87: best of luck [09:30] inversekinetix, I've had to enable some nvidia-kernel options to achieve better stability [09:30] where do you enable v sync? im getting 2800 fps right now [09:30] anyone know of a file that contains ONLY the GPL? /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2 contains a lot more crap than that... [09:30] inversekinetix, in compiz-fusion preferences (ccsm) [09:31] inversekinetix, where are you getting the FPS? [09:31] Can someone please tell me which process(es) started by default on ubuntu access and write to /etc/resolv.conf? Other than DHCP client. [09:31] inversekinetix, because at glxgears I get 22526 frames in 5.0 seconds = 4505.115 FPS [09:32] inversekinetix, using compiz-fusion... [09:32] Hello all! I have a problem with the checkgmail and with adjusting startup programs. Is anyone willing to help? [09:32] Guillem from the thing in compiz desktop setting manager there is a plugin [09:32] inversekinetix, OK [09:32] the benchmark thing [09:33] oxeimon: it should be under .gnome - a totem config file [09:33] does vsync have to be enabled? im having a hell of a time getting oblivion working in wine [09:33] inversekinetix, ccsm->general->display settings-> [09:33] hey guess i have a weird problem. my windows machine can access my linux machine, but my linux cant access my windows machine. what did i missed? [09:34] whats ccsm? [09:34] inversekinetix, vsync does not have to be enabled, but you get smoother animations [09:34] inversekinetix, however if you have lots of windows, perhaps the card is unable to reach the vsync and you have a drastic performance loss [09:34] Guillem, sorry Im new [09:34] inversekinetix, ccsm is the compiz settings manager [09:34] pipak: your question is to general, several packages can have access to /etc/resolv.conf [09:35] under .gnome2/totem/, there's a state.ini file. What should I change? There are 6 fields: "window_w=626, window_h=473, show_sidebar=false, maximised=false, sidebar_w=376, sidebar_page=playlist". What did you do you make your video player stop the screen blanking? [09:35] FoSsil: how are you trying to access each comp? [09:35] hurricaneharry: Yes, I know it's quite general, but I haven't been able to figure out which process(es) access resolv.conf and I need to know it so I can fix my problem :/ [09:36] checkgmail, which I have installed/deinstalled via Automatix, is still under Applications->Internet, as well as in startup programs and I cannot remove it. [09:36] Guillem, sync to Vblank? [09:36] Allllright can someone help me......Im trying to open package manager I get this erro: [09:36] I had WinXP on my primary drive, and found an older 20GB in my room, so I tried to install it. Since my mobo won't read my 80GB drive unless it's slave, or master with no slave, I had to install my 20 as the master. [09:36] im access with samba smb:// [09:36] inversekinetix, yes [09:37] E: dpkg was interrupted [09:37] When I install Ubuntu, will it auto detect WinXP on my slave drive? [09:37] inversekinetix, but keep in mind that it does not solve problems: it makes things smoother at cost of the GPU! [09:37] For the boot up [09:37] why does ctrl++ not work for the terminal even though it's the shortcut to increase font size? [09:37] warbler: under .gnome2/totem/, there's a state.ini file. What should I change? There are 6 fields: "window_w=626, window_h=473, show_sidebar=false, maximised=false, sidebar_w=376, sidebar_page=playlist". What did you do you make your video player stop the screen blanking? [09:37] is there a decent doom source port for ubuntu? [09:37] thanks Guillem, animations are way cooler now, my GPU is not a prob [09:37] pipak: your question is dependent on which packages you have installed.... [09:37] I could not compile gzdoom/zdoom [09:38] Can someone point me towards a howto explaining how to allow a Windows computer to access a printer connected to a machine running Gutsy? Thanks. [09:38] now if i can get kiba dock working..... [09:38] hi, i just install gusty, and tried to install compizconfig-settings-manager, but when i click preference > compizconfig-settings-manager nothing happen [09:38] my window can read my ubuntu machine, but i get a error trying to use ubuntu to access windows network [09:38] If I install Ubuntu on my primary, will it autodetect WinXP on my secondary? [09:38] hurricaneharry: Indeed, but is there some way to know what could be writting to /etc/resolv.conf, considering my install is quite standard? [09:38] warbler, try to set up samba user [09:39] oxeimon: stop screensaver was the option I had - try finding preferences in the top menu of totem - edit-preferences I think [09:39] twiztr: no [09:39] twiztr: it didn't for me [09:39] I'm having trouble with my ATi remote on gusty. I get no input whatsoever with it. On edgy, I merely plug it in and it works, but on gusty I get nothing. Any ideas? === nick_fn_away is now known as nick_fn [09:39] this channel is really cool [09:39] Is it possible to find out which program is running on port 80? [09:39] Hello again guys [09:39] Okay [09:39] murlidhar: Well, then how do I config my GRUB or wathever it uses to detect it at boot? [09:39] I was following that guide to install Beryl I linked earlier [09:39] FoSsil: don't use samba - maybe xoRock can help? [09:40] !find fglrx [09:40] Found: fglrx-control, xorg-driver-fglrx, xorg-driver-fglrx-dev, fglrx-kernel-source [09:40] pipak: any package which has to do with name resolving, seting up network interfaces. [09:40] And I got to the bit where it tells you to restart your session. When I did, no beryl loaded and all my graphics and screen stuff is moving like treacle and I have some corrupt icons [09:40] pipak: so what exactly is your problem ? [09:40] Any ideas? [09:40] warbler, sorry, i thought it was u who need help :P [09:40] FoSsiL, setup your samba server [09:41] Does anyone know anything about installing mobile Linux on the T-Mobile Dash? === gordonjc1 is now known as gordonjcp [09:41] how you do that? [09:42] what i need to config in my smb.conf [09:42] sudo smbpasswd -a [09:42] sudo smbpasswd -a $user [09:42] hurricaneharry: I'm using cisco VPN client and /etc/resolv.conf keeps getting overwritten by some process, which fucks up my connection all the time. I tried to monitor the file with inotify but it looks like there's no way to know the name of the process triggering the event. [09:42] $user = username u use to connect to ubuntu machine [09:42] yeah i did that [09:42] FoSsiL, and did it work? [09:42] Anyone? [09:43] Flynsarmy: Did you get an answer to your question? Have a look at http://www.sjdjweis.com/linux/security/ [09:43] my issue is that i cant access my window share, but my window can access ubuntu share [09:43] i mean when u add samba user is there any error msg? [09:43] hey all [09:43] i tried to send files to a bluetooth phone but nautilus sendto says "could not load any plugins, verify your installation" what should i do? [09:43] FoSsiL, sory my mistake [09:43] its weird [09:43] anyone know of a file that contains the full text of the GPL that needs to be redistrobuted with source code? [09:43] I have an ATI Readon X1950 pro, and I was wondering if I can install the drivers for it without having to restart (I use the live cd) [09:43] FoSsiL, what is the error msg? [09:44] The folder contents could not be displayed [09:44] Anyone know about installing Linux on the T-Mobile Dash phone? [09:44] Darky_, install the drivers, and then only restart X, by pressing ctrl alt backspace, or running "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" [09:44] does Send To works with anyone here on 7.10? [09:44] MOTO?? [09:45] qman, I already tried that (I used envy to do it for me) [09:45] pipak: have you look at the differences between the files ? maybe there is something to find out where your update comes from. [09:45] I also restarted X [09:45] but compiz isn't working [09:45] warbler: I just downloaded vlc. Where can I set the noscreensaver opention? [09:45] I did the same thing with an Nvidia 7600GT [09:45] Anyone please? My desktop is running like gloopy porridge. [09:45] and compiz worked fine [09:45] Darky_, compiz doesn't work on my ATi card either, depends on your card [09:46] FoSsiL, lets try this, open your network link, ctrl+L, and type in => smb:/// [09:46] hurricaneharry: It looks like dhclient is being started for some reason I fail to understand. [09:46] Darky_, nvidia cards generally have much better linux support [09:46] would someone help me install a driver? I can't really find any guides online that are newb friendly enough for me [09:46] too bad :( [09:46] if its work then you dont have dns sever [09:46] is there any list of (in)compatible cards? [09:47] pipak: possibly the vpn cisco client itself ? a vpn is a tunneled connection, hence it has an own ip or dhcp to it. [09:47] oxeimon: in settings - preferences there is disable screensaver [09:47] heya... i want to print double-sided from evince - my printer settings show that the printer has a duplex unit. in gimp i have the option of printing double sided. but in evince - the selector whicih shows 1 sided/etc has no double-sided option. any clues? [09:47] oxeimon, It is under video in preferences [09:47] Hey! Do you guys know of any Irc channel where one can find a few Linux coders? [09:47] gluonman: installing linux on T-mobile dash phone is not official so u cannot get support . i guess u have to google it in order to know about them. there are a lot of tutorials how to do that i guess [09:48] #ubuntu-uk [09:48] say error msg [09:48] would someone help me install a driver? I can't really find any guides online that are newb friendly enough for me [09:48] hurricaneharry: Indeed, cisco client writes to it, which works as expected, but something overwrites it after 2-3 minutes for no obvious reason [09:48] murlidhar: Thanks. [09:48] hey i'm in a livecd trying to get my bios raid working. when i run `dmraid -s`, my raid set shows up, but when i run `dmraid -ay` nothing gets created in /dev/mapper/ can anyone help?

[10:01] i was thinking it might be pidgin [10:02] noah_: try dict-moby-thesaurus maybe [10:02] baba: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=292406 [10:02] hey i'm in a livecd trying to get my bios raid working. when i run `dmraid -s`, my raid set shows up, but when i run `dmraid -ay` nothing gets created in /dev/mapper/ can anyone help? [10:02] baba: perhaps [10:02] Hi [10:03] murlidhar, let me check. thanks [10:03] Is there a way to mount disk when using Terminal Server Client? I'd need to access my harddrive from a Windows server. [10:03] isn't terminal server client like vnc? [10:03] Arandel[at-work], kcontrol [10:04] murlidhar, already done tweaking to acip daeom [10:04] no use [10:04] Is it a known issue that Gutsy regularly freezes in a VMware Workstation 6? [10:04] marik, same idea/purpose yes [10:05] hey guys do virtualbox support directx? [10:05] Hi! I have problem with USB drives. After upgrading dist to gutsy monting give error: "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1". I have no idea how to solve it. On live cd of gutsy USB works fine. Sorry about my english. [10:05] hi ppl, ksoftirqd using high cpu on core2duo on a fresh install of 7.10, any suggestions. already tried tweaking hdparm -B 255 [10:06] can anybody tell when a swap is used cuz right now it shows that 0bytes of swap used [10:07] FoSsiL: don't know, but have a win vbox at hand, how to find out ? [10:07] murlidhar, swap space is usually only used when RAM is full. Things that aren't needed now in RAM will go to swap to free up some RAM so it can be used [10:07] Can someone help me??? WHen I try and install something with ubuntu......it keeps trying to install this flash plugin "connecting to fpdownload.macromedia.com" how do I stop this download so I can download and install other things ?? PLZ HELP [10:09] Atomic_UE: does my pc become slower when swap is used [10:09] Baller2, uncheck Flash Plugin from your list of things to install [10:09] marik, Atomic_UE: do you happen to know if mounting drives is possible with Terminal Server Client? [10:09] i just found out virtualbox dont support directx, but vmware workstation do support it. [10:09] I just installed ubuntu like 15 minutes ago.....wheres the list of "things to install" that I check off ? [10:09] Like I even restarted my computer and whenever I try to download something I check "details" it keeps getting hungup on this flash plugin [10:09] Kred: wouldn't it depend upon the operating system you're TSC'ing into? [10:10] FoSsil, ok, anyway's don't expect to play the latest games on it. [10:10] i installed LAMP. how do i turn off apache? i typed apache2 -kstop but it says httpd is not running. apache is still running on 80 [10:10] murlidhar, if a lot of data goes from RAM to swap all at once, then you your computer may temporarily slow down while this is happening, because swap space is on your hard drive and hard drives are one of the slowest parts of a computer [10:11] murlidhar, you won't really notice much unless you open up a very memory intensive program, or if you don't have much RAM (memory) [10:11] Atomic_UE: thanks [10:11] marik: umm.. depend how? I though that all Windows with RDP supports disk mounting. But in my case I have had such a connection from KDE using krdm, that had an option to make disk mounts. [10:11] murlidhar, no worries :) [10:11] I'm now trying to find out if it's possible to do the same with Ubuntus TSC [10:12] Anyone know how to get ubuntu to stop installing this flash plugin? ...Even after restarting whenever I try to download anything it tries to install but times out where its installing from ::: ????? [10:12] Kred, terminal server client (tsc) logs into a computer. It would depend on the operating system you're using on the computer you log into [10:12] <``tanka> gdrfd [10:12] Kred: oh you mean like remote mounting of a drive local to the box you're TSC'ing from? [10:13] please can someone help me getting DualHead working? [10:13] <``tanka> #skopje [10:14] Is there an Ubuntu equivalent to the Windows cltr-alt-dlt? [10:14] Atomic_UE, marik: I'm making an RDP connection to a Windows 2003 Server. I want to share (mount, what ever the proper name is) disk from Ubuntu to the Windows server. So yes, remote mounting of a local drive to the server :) === guest_ is now known as DidiLiCiOs [10:14] I cant figure out how to disable the display sleep, if i set it to never - it still goes blank [10:14] gluonman, Go to System > Applications > System Monitor [10:15] Here is my xorg.conf file............: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42207/ [10:15] Kred: in that case - no idea, but good luck to you [10:15] Maybe there is some sort of a quick fix for it? [10:15] anyone? [10:15] Atomic_UE, thank you. [10:15] gluonman: there is a panel app that will force a misbehaving program to quit === slapfaceware is now known as perlnoob [10:15] Does anyone have te same problem as me? Openoffice.org doesn't show the icons, I had this is feisty and now also in gusty [10:15] warbler, where is that panel app? What is it? [10:15] marik: ok, thanks :( I was afraid of this. [10:15] Can someone help me??? WHen I try and install something with ubuntu......it keeps trying to install this flash plugin "connecting to fpdownload.macromedia.com" how do I stop this download so I can download and install other things ?? PLZ HELP [10:15] gluonman, or if you press alt+F4 and type 'xkill' that will change your cursor, and you can just click on the app that you want to kill [10:16] anyone? [10:16] Atomic_UE, that's sweet. [10:16] gluonman, or Ctrl+Alt+backspace just kills the X server (all your graphical stuff) and you'll end up back at the login screen [10:17] gluonman: the panel is the strips top and bottom - right click a pnel and you will get options to add or remove icons to programs - force quit is the one I mentioned [10:17] Can anyone help me trying to stop this flash playing from downloadinng ??????????? [10:17] warbler, thanks. [10:17] *panel [10:17] k [10:17] Can someone help me??? WHen I try and install something with ubuntu......it keeps trying to install this flash plugin "connecting to fpdownload.macromedia.com" how do I stop this download so I can download and install other things ?? PLZ HELP [10:18] Baller2: STFU and quit spamming [10:18] Nobodys answering :p [10:18] Kred, I've not seen that done before in that way, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was possible. As such I wouldn't be able to help you that sorry [10:18] I?ve got a prob with my harddisk under knoppix 5.1 can anybody help me? [10:18] If I have Feisty Fawn, will my OS automatically become upgraded to the new 7.10 through the automatic updates? [10:19] Baller2: how precisely are you trying to install whatever it is you are installing? GUI or command line? [10:19] Atomic_UE: thank you, too very much. I know this isn't possible on KDE side either without external little app. For some reason it's left out totally by developers from either side. [10:19] Dual Head anyone? [10:19] gluonman: short answer: no [10:19] sitaram : Gui I just install....When I click on "details" I can see it trying to connect to a website to try and download the plugin [10:19] GuardianOfGerman: this is ubuntu support not, knoppix support... [10:19] It keeps trying to download this over and over [10:20] gluonman: no - you need to type in a terminal - gksu update-manager -d [10:20] GuardianOfGerman, I'd generally direct you to the #knoppix channel, but there isn't too many people in there, but they still might be able to help with your problem [10:20] Even if I try and install another app after that and kill the process.....it goes back to trying to install that plugin [10:20] warbler, but you basically don't need a new install CD, right? That's mainly what I was getting at. [10:21] Baller2: I am not at my ubuntu machine right now (this is my work machine, mandriva) but before you hit "apply changes" or whatever there should be a list of what it will download, and you can turn off individual items [10:21] there has GOT to be someone here who can help me... === DidiLiCiOs is now known as DiDiLiCiOs [10:21] gluonman: no - update manager will download the new os in the background then ask for a reboot [10:21] gluonman: no. [10:21] I'll check it out thanks [10:22] warbler: thanks. This information is helpful for a linux newb like me. [10:22] k === DiDiLiCiOs is now known as guest_ === guest_ is now known as DiDiLiCiOs [10:23] gluonman: if you needed to install graphic drivers or such be prepared to reinstall them after an upgrade === frskN_ is now known as Cryptochild [10:24] warbler: thanks for the warning. [10:24] k [10:24] warbler: my files and such will be safe, right? [10:24] gluonman: always good to have a backup.... [10:25] hurricaneharry: I have an external hdd. [10:26] hurricaneharry: I just wanted to know if I have to save everything to the ext. hdd or if I can afford to be lazy. [10:26] gluonman: good advice there - I've had no probs but always felt safer with the backups - anyway, backups should be routine [10:26] gluonman: i myself had some trouble using the virtual terminals 1-6 after upgrading, bug 129910 [10:26] warbler and hurricaneharry, thank you for your suggestions. I'll start backing everything up. [10:27] I need HELP with Dual Head in Gutsy [10:27] can a single crontab entry contain multiple commands? (like cd wherever; do-something-else) [10:27] warbler, is there a resource that I can use that provides a list of basic terminal commands that I can memorise for various things? [10:27] Ademan, yes [10:28] Hmm in Ubuntu Gutsy my display goes blank in about 20 min when watching videos in mythtv. Ive set the display sleep to "never" in power management [10:28] Ademan, but it might be more friendly if you just put all those commands into a script and just run that script [10:28] gluonman: food for thought - with a seperate partition for /home upgrades are that much safer - and reinstalls save most of your settings [10:28] gluonman: try the debian-cheat-sheet. [10:28] cool thanks Atomic_UE, i'm still not great with bash, would cd wherever && do-whatever or cd wherever; do-whatever be more "appropriate" ? (are they even equivalent?) [10:28] hurricaneharry, thanks. [10:29] warbler, how can I make that partition? [10:29] gluonman: in terminal type - ls /bin - then pick a command and type - man "command" [10:29] Ademan, well whatever you put into crontab for your commands, you can just stick straight into a file, just have #!/bin/sh as the very first line of the file [10:29] Is there a keyboard shortcut to run the console? [10:30] Ademan: use a script if you need multiple commands, better to maintain. [10:30] warbler, and that leads to partition options? [10:30] Ok.. I followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto down until it "Manually Specify Module Parameters". The command given doesnt work, and when I click on my volume it says: No Volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. Anyone give me any help? [10:30] Atomic_UE: well i just want to periodically back up my git repository so it cd's into the project directory then pulls the files from the remote computer, so it'd be something like cd Projects/foo; git-pull ssh://me@remote-host/foo/ [10:30] Atomic_UE: just 2 lines really [10:30] gluonman: either during install or download gparted and resize the present partition [10:30] hurricaneharry: even for a two liner? [10:30] i guess if i had to add more later... [10:30] warbler, what size do you recommend? [10:31] warbler, forgive me if my questions seem silly. I'm very new to this stuff. [10:31] Ademan, you can stick those 2 commands into 1 file as is either all on same line like you would with crontab or one command per line, but if it's only 2 commands like that then I suppose you could just stick it into crontab like that [10:31] Ademan: i think i'd use && in your situation, as otherwise the repos will be in ?? [10:32] Ademan, I do it 'cos I'm to lazy to create a file sometimes :P [10:32] hurricaneharry: good call, thanks [10:32] and thanks Atomic_UE [10:32] Alright still having problems....I rebooted my machine I get an error message whenever I try to open any app.....And even after rebooting my machine I go to the console and type in sudo dpkg --configure -a ....it keeps trying to install this flash plugin [10:33] gluonman: wasn't that long ago that I was new - 5gig for ubuntu, 3 gig for /opt - downloaded progs live there sometimes - the rest for /home is what I use - some have a seperate /boot [10:33] Hey, i've got a problem, the icons on my desktop have shrunk.. but the text is the same size, any idea's..? help plz? [10:33] Hey guys. [10:33] anyone use grub-reboot? [10:33] Ok.. I followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto down until it "Manually Specify Module Parameters". The command given doesnt work, and when I click on my volume it says: No Volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. Anyone give me any help? [10:34] I've completely reinstalled Ubuntu now and I'm not touching the restricted drivers, however I've done sudo apt-get install emerald emerald-themes and let it run through, then selected a theme using the theme manager, but nothing happens. Any ideas? This is on a fresh Ubuntu install. [10:34] hazman, go to your desktop. click once on the desktop and press F5. see if that does anything [10:35] warbler, okay. I'm guessing that gparted is an application that I can download? From synaptic? And I'm still kind of shady on partitioning, but what I understand is that I will boot into a particular partition (not for ubuntu) in which I can command the os upgrades that will affect my entire system? [10:36] hi, i just install gusty, and tried to install compizconfig-settings-manager, but when i click preference > compizconfig-settings-manager nothing happen, any help? [10:36] gluonman : gparted came with my version of ubuntu [10:36] any idea? what's the mean of dmask and fmask? to mount windows shaer? thanx [10:36] Ok.. I followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto down until it "Manually Specify Module Parameters". The command given doesnt work, and when I click on my volume it says: No Volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. Anyone give me any help? [10:36] Baller2, I haven't noticed it. I'll look for it though. [10:36] xoRock maybe you are run in small memory isn't? [10:36] Hey [10:37] I need some help [10:37] I want to complete remove ubuntu and grub to [10:37] nalpha, hm... 1 gig? ;P [10:37] Anyone? [10:37] becuase i need to send my laptop back to acer [10:37] How do i complete remove grub ? [10:37] warbler, I just want to be clear. When you mention /opt, /home, and /boot, are these predetermined options that I can simply assign a size to? [10:37] xoRock ow... sry... cause i have just had the same problem because small memory :D [10:38] Sontax`lap: use the restore cd ? and or fdisk / mbr [10:38] i have the restort cd [10:38] but i cant remove grub [10:38] warbler, or do I just declare a new partition and call it whatever I want? [10:38] gluonman: no - you have to make partitions for them and name them /opt , /home etc [10:38] nalpha, the effect and stuff is working, only i can't access the setting [10:38] Hey folks, anyone here install Steam via Wine? [10:38] warbler, I have to use those specific names? [10:39] warbler, or is /opt just some language for insert name of this category here? [10:39] gluonman: /home is a system file , same as /opt [10:39] Sontax`lap, the windows cd has a repair console from which you can use FIXBOOT and FIXMBR to write a new boot record [10:39] Sontax`lap: fdisk /mbr then under dos [10:39] is the Ubuntu-packaged ffmpeg capable of producing .flv with mp3 audio? [10:39] warbler, okay. [10:39] warbler, I'll give it a try. [10:39] gluonman: they have to have those names [10:39] Is there any program that allows you to do a cube in ubuntu 7.06? [10:39] how do i start that dos ? [10:39] warbler, okay. Good to know. [10:40] k [10:40] i installed the vista orginal from acer [10:40] but i cant remove ubuntu and gurb [10:40] warbler, so, backup files, partition system as you've described, then install os upgrade. Anything else? [10:40] hey, i got a small problem regarding gnome. my ~/.gconf directory is included as "readonly" when gnome starts - thus nothing is able to store settings in the "database". so i dont have a panel or such. in my /etc/gconf/2/path file, my ~/.gconf directory is listed as "readwrite" but in syslog it tells me it is including it as "readonly". my user has proper access rights so it must be something else. has someone experienced the same problem? [10:40] gluonman: seems a good approach [10:41] :) [10:41] warbler, okay. Then I will get started. Thank you very much for your help. === cstrippie_ is now known as cstrippie [10:41] steve1, you mean a rotating cube that gives you 4 desktops? [10:42] Sontax`lap you need to find a normal vista cd (no restore) wich can start the recovery console or find yourself a ms-dos bootdisk (maybe freedos is an option) [10:42] steve1, a 3d cube* [10:43] any idea? what's the mean of dmask and fmask? to mount windows shaer? thanx [10:44] Sontax`lap: if you format the ubuntu partition you will remove ubuntu [10:44] So I've got Wine installed and I've downloaded the SteamInstall.msi file, and when I run "wine start SteamInstall.msi" I'm presented with the following: [10:44] wine start SteamInstall.msi [10:44] Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file. [10:44] ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found [10:44] The file is sitting on my desktop [10:45] What might be the problem? [10:45] Greyfox, try asking in #winehq [10:46] Just found the room, thanks Atomic_UE. :) [10:46] Greyfox, no worries :) [10:47] can someone help me with vmware server on kubuntu... which possibilities do i have to access the linux filesystem from a vmware windows xp image? [10:47] Greyfox: The problem is that "start" is not part of the command, and it is not a recongized command. [10:48] Therefore, please issue the command "wine applicationhere" without quotes, and replacing applicationhere with whatever you are wanting to run. [10:48] Hmm in Ubuntu Gutsy my display goes blank in about 20 min when watching videos in mythtv. Ive set the display sleep to "never" in power management [10:49] troopa: So when I'm given the error, "wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\SteamInstall.msi": Module not found" I need to move the file into that directory? [10:49] I'm new to all this, my apologies. [10:49] Can someone give me some help? [10:50] Greyfox: Open a terminal, and navigate to the directory where the installer is. Then issue the command; wine SteamInstall.msi or whatever the application is. [10:50] Aye that's what I tried. [10:51] This will sound REALLY odd, but I seem to have installed ubuntu 2 times on one partition [10:51] smmagic: what makes you think so? [10:51] Well I had graphic card issues so I reinstalled [10:52] And now on the dual boot screen I have 2 ubuntu's in sda2 [10:52] troopa: What I typed and the results follow: [10:52] on a fresh install why doesnt this command work for me?: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec [10:52] smmagic: its probably just a duplicate entry in your boot loader [10:52] troopa: greyfox@greyfox-desktop:~$ wine start SteamInstall.msi [10:52] fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000500 [10:52] Application could not be started, or no application associated with the specified file. [10:52] ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found [10:52] Can I remove that somehow? [10:52] I've also tried it without the "start" troopa. === swombat_ is now known as swombat [10:53] Aah..qtparted says I made a sda3 [10:53] Deleted that [10:53] And it says, "wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\SteamInstall.exe": Module not found" [10:53] greyfox: !Pastebin [10:53] casey_, what do you get? [10:53] atomic_ue: no such command or whatever [10:54] Greyfox: The "start" is what is causing the "no application associated" error. However, I am not sure why wine is attempting to load the installer from the system32 directory. [10:54] you probably got two different kernel versions in your /boot [10:54] It's also only looking for .exe files troopa, which is odd. [10:54] or maybe you installed the other on sda3? [10:54] I think so [10:54] casey_, what's the error you get exactly, because "no such command" sound totally and absolutely wrong [10:54] I deleted it now [10:54] ok [10:54] So can I remove that entry [10:55] Note to self: Never use envy [10:55] Greyfox: Well, you might want to check the wine channel. My knowledge with wine is fairly limited. I have not experienced such an error before. [10:55] to remove it you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst [10:55] atomic_ue: No such file or directory [10:55] sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst? [10:55] Sure. Asked already in there but no response so far. Thanks for your insight though, it's definitely appreciated. [10:55] yep [10:55] When I enter my ext. hdd, I can't seem to be able to delete anything. I right click on something and the "Move to deleted items folder" option is not available. [10:56] How can I delete the items? [10:56] Now what part to remove [10:56] smmagic: be sure you dont remove wrong entry :) [10:56] casey_, do you have sound? [10:56] I don't know which one! [10:56] the section with the entry you dont want in your boot menu [10:56] atomic_ue: negative. I'm trying to install the newest ALSA drivers. [10:57] then its probably best to let it be [10:57] They are the same entry over and over [10:57] But I do want to get rid of the windows one [10:58] hm [10:58] casey_, not exactly sure, but i think the problem might be because alsa doesn't detect your sound card, so it's not listed in /proc/asound [10:58] smmagic: is one of the entries with sda3? [10:58] gluonman: you need to enable read/write permissions [10:58] warbler, how do I do that? [10:59] im experiencing a much slower laptop after upgrading to 7.10. why is that? [10:59] http://pastebin.ca/750204 [10:59] Maybe that can tell you [10:59] gluonman: what's on the ext hd - windows? [10:59] atomic_ue: I've followed the instructions on the ubuntu site completely, but the alsa drivers dont seem to be installing correctly. let me reboott one more time. [10:59] warbler, I'm not using it as a partition, just storage. I first purchased it and installed it when I was using Windows. [11:00] cups web interface doesn't find a printer on the network, how do i add it manually? === Cryptochild is now known as frskN_ [11:00] warbler, I also, somehow, managed to close my trash bin and I'm not sure how to reload it. [11:01] gluonman: if it is ntfs you need to download ntfs-3g I think - I don't use winblows - anyone? [11:01] Sonderblade, System > Administration > Printing > New Printer ?? [11:01] How can i download all packages requiered to build another package? I want to get all *-dev.deb that are requiered. I dont want the source of neither the dependencies, nor the packge I'm going to build. [11:02] gluonman: right click a panel - strips top and bottom - and you can readd a trash icon [11:02] yo. I need to install grub to a specific location (the root partition rather than the mbr). Will the normal gusty install iso give me this option, or do I need the server iso? [11:02] warbler, winblows! lol funny. [11:02] k [11:02] Atomic_UE: cool thanks [11:02] gluonman, although older than the Internet :) [11:02] Sonderblade, no worries [11:03] warbler, wow. I can't believe I didn't know about "add panel" before. [11:03] gluonman: there's allot to ubuntu! [11:03] warbler, so I'm finding. [11:04] Anyone playeed Eternal Lands of Plane shift? Are they any good for a (mmo)rpg sucker like myself? [11:05] warbler, I guess I'll figure out the ext hdd thing. But I installed gparted and now that I've opened it, I'm not exactly familiar with how it works. It's showing three paritions (/dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and /dev/sda5). I clicked the Partition tab where there is a New option, but everything is greyed out like it is unavailable. What do I do from there? [11:05] Found out myself, its: apt-get build-dep whatevertobuild [11:06] gluonman: what is on your hd? sda1 might be windows - sda2 might be ubuntu and 3 will be swap? [11:06] atomic_ue: so I've installed alsa according to the ubuntu howto page. I've modprobe'd everything the alsa install page tells me. I've run alsaconf and it found my card and set it up. but when I run alsamixer or amixer i get a: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device. any idea? [11:06] does anyone know a page where i can see all the updates for gutsy? [11:07] gluonman: should be able to get details clicking on the partitions [11:08] warbler, sda1 is the largest one (35.69GiB), and I thought that I had erased Windows completely. sda2 is 1.57GiB and sda5, which is shown as a subcategory of sda2 is the same size. [11:08] Ubuntu brothers I beseech thee. Look into your hearts and tell me what you see! I need to install grub to a specific location (the root partition rather than the mbr). Will the normal gusty install iso give me this option, or do I need the server iso? [11:08] Can someone help me get video streams working? [11:08] warbler, the filesystem names of the partitions are sda1=ext3, sda2=extended, sda5=linux-swap. [11:09] casey_, not sure about that one, sorry. try asking in #alsa [11:09] Can anyone tell me what to do when fire fox has no idea what to open a .php file with. I do have php5 installed [11:09] gluonman: just guessing from here hehe - ok - try sliding the large partition to the left - might have to click it first [11:10] warbler, the bar at the top? [11:10] warbler, I tried doing something like that to no avail. [11:10] gluonman: yep [11:11] gluonman: right click the partition and see the options [11:11] mctavish, the normal gutsy gui install, no [11:12] warbler, there is an option that says resize, but it's greyed out. I'm not sure why a lot of the functions are unavailable to me. [11:12] gluonman: put the cursor at the right edge of the partition segment [11:12] warbler, I understand the procedure of dragging. It just won't do that. [11:12] Atomic_UE: ah, thanks dude. bye. [11:13] gluonman: some people have trouble resizing because of their hardware and linux? === guest_ is now known as SaSav [11:13] gluonman: maybe you don't have the resize option [11:13] warbler, I'm not sure. It's just that the options are greyed out. I can't use them for reasons I don't understand. === mangojamb1 is now known as mangojambo [11:13] warbler, it is listed in the tab. [11:14] warbler I just can't click on it. [11:14] gluonman: gparted isn't perfect [11:14] warbler, is there another program? Can I update it? [11:14] qtparted [11:14] :) [11:14] warbler, what about Gpar or Gpar2? Or are those just recovery programs? I happened to notice them when I was finding gparted in synaptic. [11:14] gluonman: never done it after the fact - only during reinstall [11:15] Hm. [11:15] gluonman, gparted does have a live cd, burn and boot from that [11:15] Guys, need someone to share a quick & dirty way of setting up graphics in Ubunu. I know my graphics/screen is not supported by Ubuntu out of the box. I tryed loading in safe graphics mode, but it didn't work. I can attach another screen which is probably going to work fine with VESA. It will let me install the restricteddrivers, but in case it doesn't start xserver properly next time I boot with my main sceen... What's s good way to reconfigure my xserve [11:15] warbler, buttercups, well I guess I can just finish backing up my files and then use my installation CD to repartition everything. [11:16] ola [11:16] gluonman: ext hd are a blessing [11:17] gluonman, from my experiences with gparted, if certain filesystem types are missing it's usually because the libraries for that filesystem aren't installed. Also yo ucan't do the same things to every type of filesystem. [11:17] gluonman, not sure about the progress on the filesystem libraries, but for example at one point you couldn't resize ntfs partitions so that option wasn't available for those filesystems, etc [11:18] warbler, but what's confusing me is that when the installation process automatically partitioned my system so that ubuntu uses the entire space, it gave the partitions those specific names. So, if I repartition my system with the names you gave me (ubuntu, /opt, /home), the OS will still function just as well? [11:18] Atomic_UC, so perhaps I can install some libraries from synaptic? [11:18] I just installed drupal 5.1 on ubuntu 7.10, Apache2, PHP5 server. Can anyone remind me what to do when Firefox asks what to open the install page with? PLease and thank you. === Aishiko_ is now known as Aishiko [11:19] gluonman, perhaps [11:19] Atomic_UE do you know what libraries I need? [11:20] hi there. i want to install ubuntu server 7.10 but my hard drives isn`t recognized. i use this SCSI controler : http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/scsi/u320/ASC-39320D/ any solution ? [11:21] gluonman: apologies - when I said ubuntu I meant / (the root directory) - you need 5 gig for that - I use a partition for /opt because I use swiftfox etc, progs that I download and the rest for /home so a reinstall saves most settings [11:21] gluonman, also you can't perform some actions on filesystems while they are mounted, they need to be unmounted first [11:21] Guys, need someone to share a quick & dirty way of setting up graphics in Ubunu. I know my graphics/screen is not supported by Ubuntu out of the box. I tryed loading in safe graphics mode, but it didn't work. I can attach another screen which is probably going to work fine with VESA. It will let me install the restricteddrivers, but in case it doesn't start xserver properly next time I boot with my main sceen... What's s good way to reconfigure my xserve [11:22] gluonman, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php [11:22] gluonman: Atomic_ue makes a good point - the gparted on the live cd might do the job [11:22] warbler, okay. So sda1, for me, is what you just called ubuntu. And I make /opt and /home in addition to the two others that are present, for whatever reason? And /home is where the os upgrades are done? [11:23] gluonman, look up the "required software" from that page in synaptic and you should be all good [11:24] gluonman: what I called ubuntu then partitioner calls / ( that is the root directory - where the OS is) [11:24] Atomic_UE, I will do that. If I unmount my root partition, what will happen to my access to it while I'm using it? [11:24] hi [11:24] Van esetleg itt magyar? :) [11:24] gluonman, you can't unmount it [11:24] gluonman, it'll say it's in use [11:24] Hey guys. [11:24] gnome seems to have 2 desktops after gutsy default installation, how can i add more desktops? [11:24] Atomic_UE, that's what I was thinking. But I thought I'd ask since I don't fully understand this stuff. [11:25] Sergemine, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ,is a way to reconfigure xserv. === Konisuaa is now known as Koni_HUN [11:25] gluonman, if u were able to do that then the momeny something needed to write to that partition or read from it, you'd be screwed ;) [11:25] gluonman, moment* [11:25] buttercups, thank you [11:25] I'm trying to setup fglrx on my X1800XL, and I'm having exactly the same problem as this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3630255&postcount=22 [11:25] Anyone got ideas how to get it working? [11:25] gluonman, but so long as nothing needed to write/read to/from it, you could get away with it [11:25] Atomic_UE if after making sure I have all of the libraries to support gparted fully, if I still can't do it, I'll just use my CD. [11:26] Atomic_UE as far as things writing/reading to/from it, what do you mean? What kind of processes are you talking about? [11:26] i need help Hungaryan language :( [11:26] !hu [11:26] I'm trying to install fglrx to get emerald to work [11:26] Magyar nyelvű segítséget az #ubuntu-hu csatornán talál [11:26] I just installed drupal 5.1 on ubuntu 7.10, Apache2, PHP5 server. Can anyone remind me what to do when Firefox asks what to open the install page with? PLease and thank you. [11:27] gluonman, from my experience if i've ever had to do stuff to my root partition it'd always be from either a live cd or in rescue mode (where everything runs from memory) [11:27] Atomic_UE, I'll just do that, then. [11:27] world, if firefox is asking to "open" the install.php (or whatever it's called) it means apache isnt set up to serve php properly, iirc [11:27] Aha, finally got Pidgin to behave sensibly with channels the size of #ubuntu: turn on the Join/Part hiding plugin (joinpart.so) in the standard libpurple package. D'oh... [11:28] warbler, Atomic_UE, man you guys have been helpful. I'm learning a lot. [11:28] :( #ubuntu-hu empty :( [11:28] Except I'm on a 64bit system with 32bit Ubuntu [11:28] gluonman, no worries :) [11:28] Anyone got any ideas? [11:28] achadwick, Yeh I gave pidgin a chance, but after 2 min said NO and got xchat :P [11:28] Did NVidia support get worse in 7.10, or am I crazy? [11:29] gnome seems to have 2 desktops after gutsy default installation, how can i add more desktops to it? [11:29] JakeM: I don't think it could be as bad as ATi support [11:29] Well, so far I can't even boot the live CD. :P [11:29] gluonman: all you need is practise and dirction - it gets easier [11:29] *direction [11:29] Well, it boots, but regardless of what I select from the boot menu, I get a lovely black screen. [11:30] warbler, right. And after a while I'll be instructing others on these subjects. [11:30] JakeM, I'm assuming you tried safe graphcis mode [11:30] What would I use to write a video file to DVD? [11:30] gluonman: that's where i"m at now - but still learning heaps [11:30] Yeah [11:30] in the DVD format [11:31] warbler, of course! [11:31] i have ASUS WL-106gM Wireless Adapter , don't work in ubuntu :( [11:31] 7.04 installed and booted fine, it just refused to keep my driver updates across a reboot for some reason. [11:32] JakeM, you could always try the alternative non gui install. apart from that I wouldn't know much else, other people might [11:32] Hi All, In Gusty Gibbon, the "external screen" of my laptop does not work ... i tried some stuff at the Xorg.conf ... [11:32] also my feisty xorg.conf does not work ~~hlp pls [11:32] Anyone got any ideas about my question? [11:32] Downloading that ISO now. Thanks. [11:32] I'd really like to use Emerald themes === matthijs is now known as KWE [11:32] Here's my fglrxinfo: http://pastebin.com/m7c192f53 [11:33] Although it doesn't bode well for my post-install experience. [11:33] anyone got share folders to work in VirtualBox? [11:33] Indust, I can't help you with that, but I want to know what brand/model of laptop you got? I never seen a laptop with an external display before :P [11:33] I've yet to find a distribution that loves my 8800 "out of the box". [11:33] Atomic_UE: yeah, if only it didn't use bold for said messages. It has an xchat-style neat display (right/left align), but that doesn't do url linkification :( [11:34] BTW, if I'm spewing out colours and other idiocies, tell me. [11:34] hi i have set my ubuntu 7.10 to sho the text during boot instead of having silly logo thing, but I dont see any text :-S used 2 work in 7.04, anyone know how 2 fix? [11:34] brb, gonna try restarting X [11:34] Atomic_UE: it is a internal ( normal) screen and a external screen - via vga-out [11:34] achadwick, coloured names in xchat ftw....that's what makes me use xchat...so much easier to keep track of which message belong to who [11:35] Pidgin IM FTW!!! [11:35] mizzer0ni: Dl start up manager [11:35] Bonster, thanks but i have it, have set it to show text but i see none [11:35] Atomic_UE, actually, come to think of it, when I downloaded gparted from synaptic, before I clicked apply, it listed it under NOT AUTHORIZED. Would that have anything to do with its lack of function? [11:35] * achadwick is faintly embarrassed to be using Pidgin, but is prepared to give it a chance. [11:35] Indust, ah ok...oh well i'm sure they'll come up witha laptop with an external display one day....they have on mobiles :P [11:35] hello [11:35] Haha [11:35] Pidgin works perfect [11:36] can i display an image from the commandline in some kind of gnome image viewer [11:36] gluonman, shouldn't, but that sounds like your gpg keys for verifying the repos isn't setup right [11:36] mizzer0ni, did you remove "quiet splash" in your /boot/grub/menu.lst [11:36] bXi: sure, the default one is named "eog", IIRC. [11:36] Atomic_UE, for one thing, I'm not sure what gpgs are. And how do I set them up right? [11:36] thats just eog image.jpg ? [11:37] should be... [11:37] hi - I've got ubuntu edgy, and I'd like to have the jamendo plugin for rhythmbox. Is there a way, apart from upgrading (I just did that last week. Wish I could skip upgrades and go directly to the newest...) [11:37] gluonman, i've had that happen on the rare install of ubuntu 6.06 where the gpg keys for verifying packages from the ubuntu repos didn't get setup properly, and even though they were from the official repos it'd say they're unauthorised [11:38] Atomic_UE, how do I fix the gpg keys? [11:38] gluonman, System > Administration > Software Sorces > Authentication [11:38] What is the "ubufox" extension for? [11:39] can i disable it?

[11:41] oh, it also reports an inaccurate disk space.. it's two ~70gb 10k raptors, says it has over 980gb of space [11:41] though, data can successfuly be written to it [11:41] back [11:41] Atomic_UE, what's listed is: 437D05B5 2004-09-12 - Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key , FBB75451 2004-12-30 - Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key , and 0C5A2783 2006-11-23 - Medibuntu Packaging Team .

However, I'm not really sure how to do exactly what warbler was telling me to do. He said for me to give my root partition 5gigs and then to creat an /opt partition with 3gigs and a /home partition that uses the rest of the space. I was unable to figure out how to create a partition named /opt or /home. Also, I was unable to shrink my root partition to only 5gigs. I'm just not real [12:13] ly sure what I'm doing. [12:13] kk will it work en [12:14] compwiz18: oh, hadn't heard of that. well, 2D performance on compiz is always (significantly) lower than without compiz, depending on your hardware and driver. perhaps the new aiglx support lowers performance as well. [12:14] mjtunes, should [12:14] Sonderblade, if the manual setup worked then use it ;) [12:14] okay, done that [12:14] hi i want to see the boot text when i start ubuntu 7.10, I set it to show the text with startupmanager and i delete quiet splash from grub config, but all i see is a black screen in boot, anyone know how 2 fix??

[12:16] en [12:16] when i run lsusb it finds the HD but i dunno how to mount it [12:16] Sonderblade, maybe check the settings of the printer in the printer config [12:16] doesnt ubuntu recognize the harddisk automatically mattycoze/ [12:16] i want to see the boot text when i start ubuntu 7.10, I set it to show the text with startupmanager and i delete quiet splash from grub config, but all i see is a black screen in boot, anyone know how 2 fix?? what's this stuff about framebuffer bug blah [12:16] deadheron, no, it used to but not anymore [12:16] Atomic_UE: windows users get color printing [12:16] guys [12:16] hi mizzoani [12:16] hello [12:16] deadheron, i just need to mount it this once to reboot the computer once i back up the files [12:16] what's diff between LVM volume group and logical volume ? [12:17] Sonderblade, i mean the settings in ubuntu printer config [12:17] Hi mizzeroni [12:17] Sonderblade, I've seen some drivers have colour as an option [12:17] Sonderblade, If that doesn't work try selecting a driver that is similar to your printer [12:17] mattycoze: do you know what drive your usb drive is (like /dev/hdb) [12:18] deadheron, no [12:18] Sonderblade, if that don't work try and get a hold of a PPD file from a windows/mac driver install and use that for your driver [12:18] mattycoze: sudo fdisk -l [12:18] kk brb [12:19] Hi atomic_ue [12:19] mattycoze: could be /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1 .. [12:19] deadheron okay i get a /dev/sdb1 [12:19] Strange nick [12:19] mattycoze: that is your usb drive? [12:19] leopard, hi [12:19] deadheron yeah pretty sure it is, [12:19] Atomic_UE: actually i have a driver that exactly matches the printer model [12:20] leopard, Atomic was taken, and UE is short for something [12:20] deadheron, haven't got anything with that capacity other than the USB drive; 312568641blocks [12:20] :p [12:20] May i know your topic? [12:20] Nobody has any idea how to get STAC 92XX audio working? [12:20] ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso while i install it ,my computer stop at "setting apt"~~~~~ complited 40% [12:20] which filemanager do you use? i hope there are better alternatives than nautilus [12:20] mattycoze: mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive [12:20] buttercups: Nope, I rebooted after doing that, logged in, and just got a while screen, had to select Failsafe GNOME to get back in. [12:20] kk i'll give that a go k? [12:21] mattycoze: yes, with sudo [12:21] Sonderblade, well use that, if it don't work pick a similar matching one [12:21] mattycoze: so : sudo mount /dev/sdb1 media/usbdrive [12:21] ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso while i install it ,my computer stop at "setting apt"~~~~~ completed 40% [12:21] deadheron; i got 'mount: mount point /media/usbdrive does not exist' [12:21] mattycoze: sudo mkdir /media/usbdrive [12:21] lol fair enough [12:21] brb [12:21] ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso while i install it ,my computer stop at "setting apt"~~~~~ complited 40% anyone help~~~~~~~thanks!! [12:21] Any ideas buttercups? [12:22] !repeat | LinuxInside [12:22] LinuxInside: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [12:22] Hexxeh, , theres a few over at #ati right now [12:22] Atomic_UE, did you read my question up above? [12:22] gluonman, if you right click on your Root partition in gparted and make sure it's unmounted, you should then be given the option to resize it to 5gb [12:22] mattycoze: and then do: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive again [12:22] #ubuntu-dr [12:22] buttercups: Okay I'll try there. [12:22] deadheron okay this time when i tried mounting i got: you msut specify the file system [12:22] Hexxeh, you did follow steps 14 15 16 at the link I gave you right? [12:22] oh yeah hehe [12:23] mattycoze: what filesystem is it? you can see in sudo fdisk -l === Mez is now known as Mez|Away [12:23] thanks `~~~~ [12:23] Atomic_UE, then how do I create the /opt and /home partitions? [12:23] gluonman, you should then be able to create your other partitions at whatever sizes and mount them as /opt and /home etc [12:23] W95 Fat32 (LBA) whatever that means [12:23] it go on installing now~~ === Mez|Away is now known as Mez [12:23] gluonman, select the free space that should result from making your other partition smaller [12:23] mattycoze : sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdrive [12:23] then click the New button [12:24] Atomic_UE, are there already options called /opt and /home, or is there a box in which I enter those names? [12:24] buttercups: Yep. I think that's why I got the whitescreen, Compiz was attempting to start but couldn't. [12:24] select ext3 or whatever, and the appropriate mount point [12:24] buttercups: Does it have a log file somewhere? [12:24] gluonman, both...there will probably be a lil blank box drop down, if you click the drop down bit you can select the mount point, or you can just type it in === frskN__ is now known as frskN_ [12:25] hmm ... Cant seem to upgrade to 7,10 ... my /boot is all of a sudden to small ?? :( === Mez is now known as Mez|Away [12:25] leopard, type /topic if you want to know the channel topic [12:26] deadheron, okay right, i can access it but no permissions to delete file, copy, paste ect [12:26] Atomic_UE, it will only allow me to shrink partition /dev/sda1 (my root partition) to 18.48GiB. [12:26] mattycoze: you should access it as root [12:26] gluonman, when you've got what you want you can continue on with the install [12:26] mattycoze: so: gksudo nautilus /media/usbdrive [12:26] i want to see the boot text when i start ubuntu 7.10, I set it to show the text with startupmanager and i delete quiet splash from grub config, but all i see is a black screen in boot, anyone know how 2 fix?? what's this stuff about framebuffer bug blah [12:26] gluonman, that's probably because you have 18gb worth of stuff on there? [12:26] oh ... okay, would that be any problem if say i wanted to access the same files from a different computer on the USB drive? [12:26] mizzer0ni, uninstall the splash-package with synaptic [12:27] Atomic_UE, so I should delete all of that stuff after putting them on my ext hdd before partitioning, then? [12:27] mizzer0ni, i dunno the exact package name, so youll have to search for [12:27] mattycoze: you can access the usb drive from any computer yes [12:27] mizzer0ni, did you change the screen resolution or colour depth in startup manager? [12:27] deadheron, okay well that's fair enough thanks 4 ya help [12:27] mattycoze: np [12:27] yes Atomic_UE just res [12:27] i think i won't have this problem once i reinstall with the new version of Ubuntu [12:27] 7.10 [12:27] :p [12:27] mcp, okey thnx i look for it [12:28] mattycoze: i think you're right [12:28] ubotu: my first language is not EN, I can't describe my problem clearly in EN~~~~~ === Mez|Away is now known as Mez [12:28] hi , here!!! [12:28] mizzer0ni, you may of picked a resolution that your monitor doesn't support perhaps, so pick something lower/more appropriate [12:28] LinuxInside, what is your native language, maybe there's a channel in your own language? [12:29] Atomic_UE, yer i picked 1024 x 768 or whatever it is, i have 1280 x 800 monitor, i used 1024 x 768 in fiesty and it worked [12:29] gluonman, if you've still got all your data and want to reinstall the entire system [12:30] Atomic_UE, yeah I'll just do that. Put everything on ext hdd and start from scratch and reinstall Ubuntu. [12:30] How do i add an extra desktop to the bar at the bottom of gnome? [12:30] gluonman, if you don't have much I suggest at the very least having / at 5gb and /home as everything else, that's how I set mine up. that way whenever i want to install a new distro or whatever I just use my 5gb / for the OS and just remount /home without formatting it so it still has everything [12:30] alt+f4 [12:30] hi all [12:30] I only have two at the moment [12:31] right click it neopsyche [12:31] alt+f4? [12:31] Atomic_UE, my only problem is that in gparted, it doesn't allow me any option of calling a partition /opt or /home. Will that be different when I reinstall Ubuntu? [12:31] hi all [12:31] mizzer0ni: cool .. then? [12:31] mizzer0ni, in startup manager, make sure you enable Show Boot Slapsh in the Misc section [12:32] I'm sorry, I'm connecting my mouse through serial port(not ps/2) can I load live cd with drivers for my mouse? [12:32] mizzer0ni, I found out that refers to the OS splash screen and not Grub's splash screen [12:32] How do i add an extra desktop to the bar at the bottom of gnome? [12:32] neopsyche rightclick it select properties [12:33] deadheron: ok then? [12:33] gluonman, that's odd...you should be able to mount a partition at /home etc so long as it's not already got one listed their as the same [12:33] it doesn't moveing now [12:33] neopsyche: make columns some more... [12:33] I'm planning to buy an external modem for dialup use...are almost all external modems being supported by ubuntu out of the box? [12:33] can I use mouse button 5? (mousewheel pressed) so that I can scroll up and down firefox ? [12:33] deadheron: columns? [12:33] Atomic_UE, so when I install the new distro, I will boot into the 5gig / and installing the upgrades after having unmounted the /home? So do I not even need a /opt? What's /opt for, just a place to store installed programs? [12:34] deadheron: I just want another virtual desktop [12:34] deadheron: there are only two instaead of four [12:34] what parametres should I enter? [12:34] neopsyche: you mean workspaces [12:34] deadheron: yes [12:34] rightclick your workspaces in the gnome bar [12:34] neopsyche [12:35] deadheron: okj [12:35] I'm planning to buy an external modem for dialup use...are almost all external modems being supported by ubuntu out of the box? === Leslie_ is now known as jisatsu [12:35] ok thanks i got it [12:35] deadheron: thans [12:35] Gladiat0r, traditionally from what I know /opt is used for your third party software that is installed after the whole system has been installed and considered working. If you ever install something like Google Earth with root privleges it'll install in /opt [12:35] deadheron: thanks [12:35] neopsyche: then select properties of preferences ( im not sure) [12:35] neopsyche: np [12:35] Gladiat0r, sorry not you [12:35] gluonman, traditionally from what I know /opt is used for your third party software that is installed after the whole system has been installed and considered working. If you ever install something like Google Earth with root privleges it'll install in /opt [12:36] how can I change the colours used by KDE apps without installing KDE? === Barborello is now known as Barbarello [12:36] Atomic_UE, when it says Create As:, the only option it is allowing me is Primary Partition. Where it says Filesystem: the only options are ext3, ext2, fat16, fat32, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiserfs, xfs, and unformatted. [12:36] gluonman, /opt might be useful, but I don't really think so [12:36] hi [12:36] Atomic_UE, nothing that says /opt or /home. [12:36] can I kiss you guys? ubuntu 7.10 finaly gets my native resolution on my laptop [12:36] how to hotkey switch between workspaces? [12:36] Atomic_UE, but do you think I'll run into the same thing when reinstalling Ubuntu? Or will I have the same problem [12:37] gluonman, that is the filesystem type it's asking [12:37] sHELL if you girls you can... it's great to hear that [12:37] gluonman, if it's going to be used for linux you want to format it as ext3 type [12:37] :P [12:37] nalpha: Actually in many cultures, it's acceptable for guys to kiss as well. [12:38] but I was kinda amazed... like... woooah!!! finaly! [12:38] nalpha: Three times, on alternating sides of the cheek. [12:38] Arafangion uuppss... I'm in a major culture... [12:38] gluonman, you might also want a swap partition of 1gb or something (depending how much memory you have) of type linux-swap [12:38] anybody knows: .bashrc, what does rc mean here??? (statnds for what)? [12:38] embrace-Ubuntu: Release Candidate. [12:38] Atomic_UE, so after choosing ext3, then I will name it /home? [12:38] How to remove ubuntu from system? And can i set up newre version above the older one? [12:38] embrace-Ubuntu: Oh, for that... [12:38] gluonman, if it's going to be used for windows type ntfs is what winxp uses, fat32 is what older windows use [12:38] embrace-Ubuntu: Hmm, runtime configuration? [12:38] Arafangion: in the home directory [12:39] Atomic_UE, I already have a linux-swap parition. It was automatically created for me. [12:39] can i use cron to execute a command every time i boot? [12:39] arcil_: Not really. [12:39] gluonman, yeh that is the filesystem type it's asking you. after that should be the Mount Point which will be /home or whatever [12:40] Arafangion: so how can i auto update/upgrade my system every time i boot? [12:40] Arafangion: thx [12:40] Atomic_UE, so I think I'm going to go ahead and also include an /opt just if it turns out to be useful. And that will be ext3 too, right? [12:40] arcil_: You really don't want to do that. [12:40] gluonman, my laptop battery is goin flat. been running on battery for 4 hours. gimmie a sec to plug some juice into this thing ;) [12:40] gluonman, yes it will [12:41] Has anyone who's updated to Ubuntu 7.10 been having problems with Firefox and forums? [12:41] arcil_: It's possible for an upgrade to die, and do you really want to apply updates on teh morning that you need to hand in a major piece of work? [12:41] buttercups: "aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity" when I type compiz into a terminal, any ideas? [12:41] arcil_: Just update every few months in your own time. [12:41] Atomic_UE, thanks. [12:41] No joy in #ati === bionix is now known as hbionix [12:42] Arafangion: hm ok, i thought within a distri are no real changes but bugfixes. or is it only debian with its stable distri which handle things in this way [12:42] When I go to the reply thing on Annoyances.org, or try to load Firefox's forums, Firefox (2.0.0.8) crashes. Before the upgrade, it didn't. Any suggestions? [12:42] salam [12:43] Hi ... I have a litle problem with Amarok ... it seems like its allways running in "full screen". I don't have any borders in kwin, nor emerald .... The amarok window takes up all of my screen, and there is no way to move it or resize it ... any ideas? === hbionix is now known as bionix_ [12:44] Morrissey cant you move it with holding alt and left mouse button? [12:44] deadheron, no :( [12:45] gluonman, back now [12:45] deadheron, it seems like it lost all of it frame structure and everything .. [12:45] Atomic_UE, I tried creating the new ext3 partitions, but they are named New Partition #1 and #2. How do I rename them /opt and /home? [12:45] Morrissey: after installing compiz, or enabling it? [12:46] gluonman, in the list at the bottom are the mount points for those two partitions /opt and /home ? === QwertyManiac is now known as QwertyM [12:47] deadheron, it used to work ... but suddenly when I changed between kwin and compiz a couple of times, border just dissapereaed ... and amarok window allways runs in ful screen [12:47] gday everyone [12:47] hows the 7.10 release going? [12:47] Morrissey: have you already restarted X (ctrl+alt+backspace) ? === Mez is now known as Mez|Away [12:47] is it an awesome improvement? [12:48] gunspoja: yes it is :) [12:48] cool, in what areas? [12:48] deadheron, yes .. even rebooted ... [12:48] Atomic_UE, I'm not seeing anything that mentions mount points, but it simply says that the partitions were created on /dev/sda. Both of them. [12:49] gunspoja: ntfs-reading, power-saving, compiz-fusion, wifi support (WPA and WPA2) [12:49] Morrissey: you tried: killall kwin && kwin [12:49] awesome. there used to be lots of trouble with wifi [12:49] does anyone know how to change default java plugin? like to change gcj to sun-jre. i have chosen gcj to be installed but it doesn't work :( === Mez|Away is now known as Mez [12:50] What could the reason for for the sound cutting out on my machine after a while being booted? [12:50] gunspoja: yup, and with ntfs reading [12:50] gunspoja: and writing ofc [12:50] deadheron, currently using compiz .. [12:51] but Ill try [12:51] Morrissey: it sounds like you are currently not using anything hehe [12:51] I don't have any problems reading ntfs anyway [12:51] deadheron, all other windows have borders .. [12:51] gluonman, ok confused....you should have a list with a bunch of columns that say Partition, FileSystem, Mountpoint, Size, Used, Unused, Flags [12:51] its marvin! the ParanoidAndroid [12:51] gunspoja: and writing? did it all work out of the box? [12:51] deadheron, its just amarok :S [12:51] Morrissey: oohh! i didnt know that! [12:51] nope :P but very few things ever do in linux [12:52] deadheron ;) said so on my first question, but its ok :) [12:52] I don't expect things to work straight away, but I expect them to be able to MAKE work [12:52] Morrissey: yes thats kind of strange hehe [12:52] indeed! [12:52] Atomic_UE, I see every one of those flags except for Mountpoint. [12:52] Atomic_UE, I'm not sure why that one is missing. [12:53] gunspija: but now it works out of the box, and thats better :) [12:53] gunspoja: although there is no ubuntu box :P [12:53] which filemanager do you use? i hope there are better alternatives than nautilus [12:53] hey guys, i tried installing 7.10 on my toshiba laptop running on an ATI x300, however when i run ubuntu, the boot screen is always black, and it takes it about 5 min to lunch X, so i see nothing of wat happening. only 1 msg is displayed when loading before the black screen takes place: unable to locate resources. any ideas ?? [12:54] at's the best way to get php and apache up and running on gutsy? [12:54] gunspoja: all my hardware worked out of the box with ubuntu 7.10 (except for my ATI card, but restricted driver manager is easy hehe) === sjc is now known as sjc545 [12:54] i'd like to have a windows-explorer-like behaviour. xfe is something like that, but maybe there are more alternatives? [12:54] wow [12:54] !lamp > fruitbatjim (read the private message from ubotu) [12:54] I wonder if my printer will even work [12:54] gluonman, ah i think that might come after the partition. I think it goes partition with gparted, then select mount points for those partitions afterwards [12:54] that'd be something [12:54] its impossible to get it working [12:54] gunspoja: 7.10 gives new plug&play printer support [12:54] fruitbatjim: try lampp [12:54] thanks jrib [12:54] cool [12:54] hmm [12:55] gunspoja: my EPSON printer worked immediately hehe [12:55] although I've heard horror stories of people upgrading from feisty to edgy and everything breaking [12:55] anyone`s got 5mins for a noob? [12:55] so I'm a bit hesitant to upgrade to gutsy [12:55] Atomic_UE, so I need to push apply first? Then it will ask me for the mount points? [12:55] any idea ? [12:55] fuscht, thats why we're here :) === Mez is now known as Mez|Away [12:55] installed 7.10 and get grube error 22 when booting up [12:55] how to use broken filter [12:55] gunspoja: upgrading from feisty to edgy isnt really smart though hehe better from feisty to gutsy [12:55] it seems that many people are having my same problem with the volume icon displaying mute when it isn't muted. do you guys know if there is a fix for this? there are no answers in any of the forum posts i found. [12:55] i am getting error 2 broken softwares to install [12:55] gunspoja: but i did a clean install.. that worked great [12:55] hmm, well what would you suggest? [12:56] bah I don't wanna do a clean install [12:56] ubuntu is on hdb [12:56] all my software and settings...gone! [12:56] pawan: sudo apt-get -f install [12:56] * gunspoja shakes his head [12:56] gunspoja: then upgrade from feisty :P [12:56] yeah [12:56] gluonman, yeh I think that's how it worked in fiesty, but I don't remember doing it like that in gutsy...maybe I just forgot, that tends to happen :P [12:56] hey...i wonder if they will even fix my internet [12:57] my internet access has always been very inconsistent on fiesty, possibly due to my modem somehow [12:57] Atomic_UE, I'll try that then. === Blackgoth is now known as blackgoth === blackgoth is now known as Blackgoth [12:57] alright - does anyne know of a pdf password cracker for ubuntu? i have an old pdf that i password protected, but i cant remember the password on it ... :S [12:57] gunspoja: i would suggest a clean install, its better in all ways :) [12:57] gluonman, yeh setup your swap, root, opt, home partitoins how you want them, hit apply and mount points should be the next step or 2nd step after === Mez|Away is now known as Mez [12:58] Atomic_UE, I'll let you know how it goes. [12:58] yeah [12:58] gluonman, just make sure you got your data, and if anything is wrong on the screens after the partitioning you can always just hit back and repartition it again [12:58] hmm [12:58] gunspoja: 7.04 was the biggest surprise for me: WOW my tv tuner card works out of the box :P [12:58] yeah [12:58] I wonder what would happen if linux actually did some marketing [12:58] SleepingSloth: pdfcrack, its in the repos, never used it myself. [12:58] in feisty i used Emerald Theme Manager to edit my compiz/beryl themes. what do you use to do that in gutsy? [12:58] linux being ubuntu, i mean [12:59] Atomic_UE, I just noticed that when I remounted the root / the Mountpoint tab appeared. [12:59] deadheron, my built in card reader works in gutsy...only thing that didn't work in fiesty [12:59] gunspoja: in belgium, ubuntu-be does a lot of marketing [12:59] Pici, thanks - i'm trying it now... [12:59] eNons3nse: you can use emerald as well [12:59] Atomic_UE, then it disappeared again when I unmounted it. [12:59] how kann i write grube to hda? it seems to be on hdb and not working therefore (error 22) [12:59] really? [12:59] like what? [12:59] from livecd [12:59] pici, i didnt expect that something like that would be in the repos [12:59] Atomic_UE: i was talking about my tv tuner card :) not my card reader [12:59] !grub > fuscht (read the private message from ubotu) [12:59] jrib: i didn't find it in the apps listing. i'll look again.

[13:01] !ot [13:01] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [13:02] true [13:02] mizzer0ni: the author probably updated it [13:02] I need to increase the space on my root partition. I have deleted a spare partition that sits before it on the hdd, but I heard you cannot move the first sector of ext3 partitions. Is that true? I do have access to Partition Magic 8, if that helps. Thanks [13:02] Atomic_UE: hehe :P [13:02] but deadheron, I've heard stories of people who haven't known much about computers until they tried to install linux and suddenly got turkey-slapped with technological jargon, loved every bit of it and eventually became very experienced [13:03] gunspoja: but everyone can buy an ubuntu computer from dell [13:03] hy does anyone knows how to install widgets on ubuntu7.10?? [13:03] whereas windows hides all the technical stuff away from you, so even if you want to learn its hard to [13:03] gunspoja: though i think getting some OEM manufactors is better for marketing [13:03] yeah [13:04] definitely [13:04] jrib, the one at gnome-look is old, actually its a cgwd theme i just renamed to .emerald, idk i keep looking, thnx [13:04] rather than making people download an ISO [13:04] especially if the OEM stuff is cheaper than windows PCs [13:04] gunspoja: i hear the voices: "whats an ISO" [13:04] yep [13:04] mizzer0ni: tried http://themes.beryl-project.org/ ? [13:04] "how do I download files" [13:04] gunspoja, i wouldn't say windows hides all the jargon....it hides a good deal of it but not all. I have people at work who can't even use windows or grasp very basic concepts [13:04] oh. also. gutsy takes like 10x longer to boot than feisty did. it's kinda lame. [13:04] !offtopic [13:04] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! === Mez is now known as Mez|Away [13:04] well, you know what i mean, Atomic_UE [13:04] no jrib than ks i will look [13:05] gunspoja the future of IT will be so easier to use.. but I'm confuse are know to computer works structure still needed [13:05] windows doesn't hit you in the face with it like linux does :P [13:05] lol in ubuntu you can use GUI's if you want, for most common users. and you can use terminal applications for if you want more choices [13:05] nalpha, possibly, but making things easier to use also encourages laziness and ignorance [13:05] nalpha, Atomic_UE, gunspoja: please move the windows discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:05] * Cannot join #ubuntu-offtopic (You are banned). [13:05] bah [13:05] yeah ok [13:05] gunspoja, deadheron, lol i think people are hinting at taking the talks to #ubuntu-offtopic [13:05] so has anyone heard anything about this volume icon problem? where it thinks it's muted? [13:06] ext3 resizing anyone? [13:06] good idea, lets go [13:06] Please help me with CS 1.6 Server on linux x((( He wont work normal =( === princess^ is now known as princess^^ [13:06] eNons3nse, are u sure its actually saying ur volume is muted or ur mic is muted === Mez|Away is now known as Mez [13:07] Atomic_UE, it's not letting me apply the partition settings. Something's wrong with shrinking the root /. It says there could be an error in the filesystem. [13:07] eNons3nse, gutsy for me boots actually a bit quicker, and I don't have a problem with my volume applet being muted, but if i put the volum to the lowest and it shows it's muted, i can still hear it, unless i specifically select the mute option [13:07] I installed gtkpod-aac, but when I try to add a mp4 file it says: m4a/m4p/m4b not supported without the mp4v2 library. You must compile the gtkpod source together with the mp4v2 library. [13:08] mizzer0ni: no. there is no problem with my sound. when i use my mouse to adjust my volume the icon at the top of the screen keeps flashing mute even though it's not muted. [13:08] hi i have a sony vaio fz140e , my display driver gets recognised but is not working to its full potential , as in i cannot use the visual effects option for advanced effects . Restricted drivers says i dont need any drivers. How can i improve my situation [13:08] eNons3nse, for the thing being muted try running 'alsamixer' and making sure certain channels aren't muted [13:08] eNons3nse, by default in gutsy my volume applet thingo displays line in. right click it and in prefs change it to the one u want [13:09] does anyone know the default dock color on the mac so I can fix my skin =D [13:09] gluonman, ....just delete the lots and redo it....I've had trouble in the past with resizing things on the rare occassion [13:09] fevel: perhaps ask in ##mac ? [13:10] hi i have a sony vaio fz140e , my display driver gets recognised but is not working to its full potential , as in i cannot use the visual effects option for advanced effects . Restricted drivers says i dont need any drivers. How can i improve my situation [13:10] gluonman, by redo it i mean delete the partitions and recreate them instead of resizing [13:10] fevel: google for screenshots [13:10] i want to have another filemanager than nautilus. i'd like to have a windows-explorer-like behaviour. xfe is something like that, but maybe there are more alternatives? [13:10] Pici, Ive tried...they seem to notice my intentions and ont help [13:10] Atomic_UE, just keep redoing it until it works? [13:10] that's not the problem though. there is nothing wrong with my sound. everything works fine. it just seems like there is a glitch with the notification area icon. it sometimes displays the mute icon when you change the volume even though it isn't really muted. [13:10] Alp`: what do you mean? [13:10] there have been some people on the board with the same problem but no one has answered their posts. [13:10] I guess they dont like to share [13:10] Alp`: Theres way to get Thunar in gnome... [13:10] !thunar | Alp` [13:10] Alp`: thunar is a File Manager for XFCE. It is a lightweight alternative Nautilus and is quite similar. More info at: http://thunar.xfce.org/index.html - Want to Replace Nautilus with Thunar? see: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/nonautilusplease [13:11] eNons3nse, did u right click the icon, go to preferences and "select the device to track and control"? [13:11] lardarse: a file manager which has a directory-tree on the left and their content on the right [13:12] Pici: thx, checking it out. never heard of Thunar so far [13:12] Alp`: nautilus can do that, i think [13:12] lardarse: really? never saw it [13:12] mizzer0ni: it's on ALSA & Master. there isn't a problem with that. it seems like it's just a problem with the icon. [13:12] Alp`: Thunar is the file manager in XFCE [13:12] I have Ubuntu 7.04 installed. Can I download only the upgrade files? It doesn't do anything when I try to do it from update manager [13:12] gluonman, lol no....just delte all the partitions, and create new ones [13:12] Alp`: i've not looked, but i think it can [13:12] !upgrade > Surma (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [13:12] (i prefer spatial mode myself) [13:12] Delete my root one as well? [13:12] !upgrade > nalpha === Mez is now known as Mez|Away [13:13] eNons3nse, ookey sorry, idk [13:13] Atomic_UE, oh you mean reinstall Ubuntu completely from the CD? [13:13] fevel: http://trinityrubicon.blogspot.com/2006/06/mac-os-x-105-leopard-screenshots.html [13:14] Atomic_UE, :S I thought that's what you were doing @.@ [13:14] mizzer0ni: thanks for trying [13:14] gluonman, , :S I thought that's what you were doing @.@ [13:14] Good Morning. I need help to configure my sound card. [13:14] I was trying to make this work first and use that as a second resort if it didn't work. But I'll just do that, then. [13:14] hello [13:15] oh. something else. when i boot it doesn't show a splash any more. how can i turn that back on? [13:15] helloo i need some help with nvidia === Mez|Away is now known as Mez [13:15] what do you want to help ? [13:15] gluonman, ok hang on....how did you start gparted? from the menu on the live cd or did you run the install? === princess^ is now known as princess^^^ [13:15] Atomic_UE, I'm going to reboot again, but into my root partition and save my files to the ext hdd then start the process. Thanks for your help again. [13:15] when connecting from remote with vnc the screen is larger than client screen and i have to scroll both ways is there a way to adjust this so that it fits the scrren of the client pc ? client is 1024*768 while server is 1280*1050 [13:15] i'm trying to compile something, and i'm getting the following error when i do ./configure : [13:15] Atomic_UE, I had to install gparted from synaptic. [13:15] configure: error: Couldn't find X11 headers/libs. Try `./configure --help'. [13:16] gluonman, on the live cd? [13:16] which packages do i need to install to get it to at least configure properly? [13:16] Atomic_UE, yes, on the CD. [13:16] Pici: hey, thunar seems to be great! thanks alot [13:16] When I do "$ gedit myfile", edit myfile, then save myfile, I see a new file called "myfile~ QUESTION: What is myfile~ and why do I have both? [13:16] lardarse: what are you compiling? [13:16] Alp`: sure thing :) [13:16] jrib: xscreensaver 5.03 [13:16] gluonman, gparted should of already been in the menu on the cd [13:17] can i type my post url in ubuntuforums.org here? [13:17] I need some help with sound card (00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio) - Ubuntu 7.10 [13:17] Atomic_UE, I didn't notice it, but I can reboot again from the CD and second check. [13:17] Atomic_UE, but before I do that, I do have another unrelated question that I want to ask while I'm still signed in here. [13:18] hi [13:18] thanks IdleOne [13:18] is gusty a good version === quikslvr is now known as coffee-n-cream [13:18] or should we keep fiesty [13:18] pawan: Yes! [13:18] gluonman, and that is? [13:18] Odd-rationale: myfile~ is a backup. [13:18] pawan: Go with gutsy [13:18] gluonman, gparted should be under System > Administration > Partition Editor [13:18] difference between gusty and fiesty [13:18] I have Ubuntu 7.04 installed. Can I download only the upgrade files? It doesn't do anything when I try to do it from update manager. I'm on dialup and can't download the full CD [13:19] Surma: did you read the message from ubotu? [13:19] Pici: That link didn't work [13:19] mpmc: So should I just leave it alone? [13:19] Atomic_UE, I have been having difficulty with my internect connectivity. It's not a software issue but a hardware one, because I had the problem when using Windows and it persisted in to switching to linux. I don't know if it's the wireless card or my port. Does Ubuntu have a method of checking the hardware to determine what's malfunctioning? Or do I have to buy a new card and see if that eliminates the problem? === jassem is now known as Jalazmi [13:19] lardarse: sudo apt-get build-dep xscreensaver will get you the dependencies for xscreensaver that is in the repositories. These should be similar to what you need for 5.03. For this particular error, you probably want 'xorg-dex', but the first command I gave should pull that in [13:19] Surma: type "gksudo update-manager -d", although it's a lot of packages [13:19] Surma: update-manager -d [13:19] hello [13:19] i cant get my nvidia to work..i got everything installed correctly.now i stop the x server,run as root nvidia-xconfig or edit xorg.conf replacing "nv" with "nvidia",i start x again by typing "startx" or "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start" my x wont start at all.it will give me a black blank screen and hang there. [13:20] Odd-rationale: It's just a backup.. You can delete it.. But if your app crashes.. You'll have to start all over again [13:20] hello all [13:20] i have to use "nv" again to restart my x server. [13:20] I just upgraded to Gutsy, but it's having problems identifying my monitor/graphics card, so the display is very buggy [13:20] gluonman, hardware issues usually mean you need to physically test the hardware or get new stuff === Mez is now known as Mez|Away [13:21] I'm on a Toshiba Satellite L20-268; how do I find out what to set my monitor/graphics card to? [13:21] Joth: what's the card? [13:21] picard_pwns_kirk: That didn't do anything either [13:21] mpmc: Is it a backup of the old version or of the new, edited version? [13:21] coffee-n-cream: why are you not using the restricted driver manager? [13:21] Joth: lspci | grep VGA [13:21] jrib: same thing happen too === mooki is now known as mookid [13:21] gluonman, some things can be tested with software, such as memory and harddrives. if they don't seem to stack up in the performance testing then the hardware could be dying [13:21] Joth: that'lll find your adapter id for you [13:21] Odd-rationale: Good question.. I think it's usually the new edited version [13:22] ive used envy,restricted n the bug still there [13:22] coffee-n-cream: what card [13:22] gluonman, but even using software to test these things isn't always going to tell you if something needs to be replaced or not [13:22] mpmc: Thanks for your help!

[13:22] hi all--is there a way to type with accented characters if you're using a US keyboard? I'd like to have like some kind of accented characters assigned to certain key combinations? [13:22] coffee-n-cream: Why are you asking in #ubuntu? You are running Debian... [13:22] It's not under the list of ATI cards on the graphics settings [13:23] cOntrl4:watch your langauge [13:23] jrib: it hasn't given me an error now, but i cna't understand what it's telling me === Mez|Away is now known as Mez [13:23] would a pastebin help? [13:23] gluonman, my generally method for this sort of thing is chuck the card into another machine and see how it works, and/or stick another card into the original machine and see if that works too [13:23] isnt ubuntu based on debian? [13:23] coffee-n-cream: it is [13:23] coffee-n-cream: yes, but they are different. You should ask in #debian [13:23] Atomic_UE, what software can I use to test my wireless ports? I don't really want to waste my money on a new card if mine is working just fine but it's my port that busted. [13:24] gluonman, that's what most people do unless they actually have the proper tools to physically test the stuff [13:24] !generic [13:24] Atomic_UE, yeah, I see what you're saying. I don't have another computer to stick my card into, nor do I have another card. [13:24] Rofl.. Ubuntu is only using 250mb ram.. Vista HB uses 800mb without nothing running... <_< I have about 8 window apps running <_< [13:24] gluonman, what do you mean by wireless port? [13:24] How can I close something that has crashed in wine? [13:24] lardarse: yes, pastebin please. Why are you compiling this instead of using the version in the repositories by the way? [13:25] gluonman, the slot the wifi card goes into? [13:25] !kernel [13:25] mpmc: right, but i have a cpu problem. firefox and amarok consume _loads_ of cpu power :( [13:25] has any1 installed etqw? and if yes is there any way to alt+tab or something out of the game? [13:25] Atomic_UE, well, I raised the issue to a computer technician not too long ago, and that's what he told me, "It's either your card or your port." I kind of assumed he was talking about the slot the card goes into, but that was my guess. [13:25] jrib: i wondered how long it would be before you asked that... because i want to (amongst other things) try to create a hack of my own [13:25] how do I start apache2 service? [13:26] hello [13:26] anyone know if there is an easy way to install the very latest fglrx? the one I get from apt isn't the latest but I want to try it out because there are supposedly some improvements for XVideo [13:26] How do I kill a wine app that has crashed?

[13:27] gluonman, in that context i'd make the same conclusion....in that case try sticking the card in another slot and seeing if it works any better [13:27] mpmc➔ let me grab the link [13:27] fruitbatjim: if you installed through the repositories, it starts automatically. If you stop it, you can start it again with: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 start [13:27] ! [13:27] toma: Thank god I'm not the only one! [13:27] oof.. someone punched me in the dsl [13:27] I have two slots, and in both cases I have the same problem. [13:27] netsplit, loong time no see :P [13:27] atlfalcons866: welcome to IRC... [13:27] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42214/ [13:28] Atomic_UE, I guess I'll have to find someone to let me test the card on their computer. [13:28] gluonman, try a few slots if you have them. Also try sticking any other card into that slot, preferrably a card that you know works [13:28] mpmc➔ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/156050 [13:28] morning all, [13:28] I installed gtkpod-aac, but when I try to add a mp4 file it says: m4a/m4p/m4b not supported without the mp4v2 library. You must compile the gtkpod source together with the mp4v2 library. [13:28] coffee-n-cream: Does 'restricted-manager -l' list anything? [13:28] gluonman, if it happens in all slots i'd be saying wifi card, but if u can stick it in another machine to test that would be good before buying a new one [13:29] I think the Ubuntu wiki is down [13:29] Pici: nvidia_new [13:29] lardarse: I don't see an error, just a warning asking you to check something [13:29] is there a point in compiling a kernel like 2.6.23 [13:29] atlfalcons866➔ not really [13:29] atlfalcons866, for the average desktop user, no [13:30] jrib: ok... it's just worrying seeing say "no" to so many questions [13:30] not even if i optimize for my processor [13:30] Atomic_UE, well I'll figure it out. I was just curious if Ubuntu had a special way of testing it for me so I don't have to go to the trouble. I'm going to get on the partitioning thing now. I'll boot back into my root / and save my files to the ext hdd and sign on again while I'm doing that. So I'll be here for a bit in case I have further questions.

[13:32] atlfalcons866, seem = see [13:32] it's been down for a while [13:32] awsome,, just watching all the chillipeppers californication videos on joost.. it's actually a well slick application [13:32] picard_pwns_kirk: That doesn't mean this channel is any more able to do anything about it. [13:32] seriously lacking in network preferences and things though... [13:33] can't change the darned pre caching or anything,, have to pause it for a minute before i let it go or i get tons of jitter [13:33] atlfalcons866, if you really want feel free and go ahead, but in my opinoin for desktop use it's more of an inconvenience, because you might accidently leave out something tht you won't realise until a long time down the track then you'll need to redo it again [13:34] Atomic_UE: i guess there is no point then === guest_ is now known as SaSav [13:35] is ati fglrx driver that supports AIGLX available in gutsy ? or is it still too experimental ? [13:35] atlfalcons866, for specialised uses or servers i can totally understand, but for a desktop i don't think it's really that useful [13:36] how can i mount my usb stick (it doesnt detect it is plugged)??? [13:36] evening all, do i need to uninstall google earth before updating it or is there a "sudo update google earth linux cool" type string that is the universal fixall for well, google earth? [13:36] hello guys :) just wonder if i can search for network printers in some way with ubuntu [13:36] like service discovery provided by mdns [13:37] caner: does the stick show up in "Computer" under the places menu? [13:37] help anybody?? im beginning to pull my hair over my nvidia problems [13:37] moDumass: Do you know how google earth was installed? [13:37] moDumass, i haven't seen google earth in the ubuntu repos, but from my experience you can just download the updated foofle earth and just install over the top of the old one [13:37] nice typo [13:38] no i doesnt, it even doesnt detect my usb mouse if i unplug it while the machine is working [13:38] coffee-n-cream: you need to ask in #debian, not here. Debian and Ubuntu may have different issues and different resolutions [13:38] lardarse, lol that was the 2nd time i typed that in that msg. first time i typed doodle earth :p [13:38] if they are plugged before the computer boots, it detects them [13:38] lol [13:38] im running ubuntu not debian.

I use the default directories so I haven't had a problem yet [13:39] jrib: my instincts are telling me that it might not be wise to do make install without first uninstalling the old version [13:40] coffee-n-cream: get rid of what envy did, use restricted driver manager, reload X, then drop to a tty and copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log somewhere. Then pastebin that for us to see [13:40] gluonman, didn't whats-his-name mention that you had to mount your usb thingo as read/write 'cos it was only doing it as read only? [13:40] cool, thank [13:40] s [13:41] ok do it [13:41] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg : this command reconfigures xorg and asks me for resolution right ? [13:41] i mean will do it [13:41] Atomic_UE, oh yeah. I forgot about that. [13:41] nothing is added to the list when i plug or unplug the device [13:42] caner: hmm, something should be. thats not cool. What version of Ubuntu are you running?? [13:42] gutsy [13:42] caner: did usb work in feisty? [13:42] Atomic_UE. how do I change it from read only to read/write? [13:42] i also tried partition edito to detect the device (just clicking refresh) but i crashes when doing that [13:43] yes i used usb flawlessly in feisty [13:43] gluonman, how did he tell you to do it last time? [13:43] my usb mouse is plugged now, and working. if i unplug it and plug again it wont work ::( [13:44] Atomic_UE, I don't even know if he did. [13:44] gutsy installed perfect on my 189$ walmart emachine :P [13:44] caner: its perhaps worth trying to boot using the live CD too see if it is available when you 'hotplug' it then. [13:44] I'm having a problem with gpg. When I try to decrypt something from a command line the terminal fills with gibberish and just hangs there scrolling more gibberish. I can encrypt from the command line and nautilus encryption/decryption works fine. Anyone know what could be wrong?

[13:45] caner: boot your computer from the CD and try then. [13:46] if it works, what could the problem be related with? [13:46] I can access my usb external drive using a terminal window with the sudo mount -t ntfs-3g command with the force option and added the proper settings to my fstab but now it tells me I don't have permission to mount when I boot, (set up auto in fstab to mount at boot) any ideas? [13:46] hi, how do I install Sun Java version 1.5 ? [13:46] Anyone knows how to see all desktops at once using compiz? [13:46] or how can i figure out the source of the problem? [13:46] gluonman, mount -w /dev/NNNN /some/directory [13:47] caner: possibly an install problem? may not have gone quite right. May be a new version of whatever driver in gutsy that does not like your hardware? [13:47] jmspeex, look for the expo plugin in ccsm === princess^ is now known as princess^^ [13:47] hi, how do I install Sun Java version 1.5 ? [13:47] gluonman, right click the drive icon and go to properties. in one fo the tabs it should say the device is something like /dev/sdb1 or something [13:47] !java [13:47] To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre [13:47] heya, could someone help? I am kind of new with the ubuntu environment and I have been downloading some things with BitTorrent and I closed the download window and now I cannot find the .torrent so I could resume downloading :) [13:48] thanks, let me give it ia try [13:48] gluonman, so you can use someting like mount -w /dev/sdb1 /media/extHDD [13:48] Atomic_UE, I'm looking for it. [13:48] gluonman, that should mount the thing into the directory /media/extHDD [13:48] caner: I hope all goes well for you. [13:49] Atomic_UE, I see the tab where it shows the mountpoint, but I don't see how to modify it. [13:49] Atomic_UE, nevermind. I found it. [13:50] I can access my usb external drive using a terminal window with the sudo mount -t ntfs-3g command with the force option and added the proper settings to my fstab but now it tells me I don't have permission to mount when I boot, (set up auto in fstab to mount at boot) any ideas? [13:50] 7.10 inkludes WUBI. I tried it and instaled ubuntu but the when it boots from HD it stops befor login and givs me an Debian error.

[13:51] ATI........~~~~~~~~ [13:51] ubntu001: you mean nothing happens? did you make the disc bootable.. and you might have to press some button to be able to boot from a disc.. [13:51] Atomic_UE, okay, it must not have worked because now it will not even remount the drive. I typed -w /dev/sdb1 /media/extHDD into the Mountpoint line and this has resulted from that. [13:51] have on word for ATI!!! [13:51] ubntu001, when you copied it to a cd, did you burn the iso image, or the files itself, also, you may need to change your boot order in the computers bios so that it boots from cd before booting from the hdd [13:52] i have opened the iso and the included files i have burned them on a cd [13:52] is it normal that virtualbox dont support media playbacks? [13:52] i cant watch mpeg or avi [13:52] ubntu001, you have to burn the iso like "burn image to disk" or whatever [13:52] ubntu001, you need to burn the whole iso in one go, without opening it [13:52] ubntu001: use InfraRecorder to burn the iso [13:53] hello [13:53] gluonman, disconnect the drive, wait 10 sec then stick it back in [13:53] Atomic_UE, okay. [13:53] aex: are you sure you saved the .torrent somewhere? Can you just go download the same .torrent file again? [13:53] hmmm okzzz i didnt burned the iso but i burned the files that include the iso [13:53] picard_pwns_kirk, its not about what you use , its about how to use it [13:54] jrib: I'm not sure, I just am visiting the place I downloaded the torrent and see if it resumes automatically :) [13:54] so should i burn the iso again? [13:54] I just referenced IR because it's lightweight [13:54] aex: if you save to the same location, it should work === BettiePage is now known as atouk [13:54] I just installed lamp, but I don't know where to store my webpages...

[13:55] Is there a third party repo where I can get Filezilla ?

[14:02] jrib: sorry about that - and thank you that was so silly! [14:02] gluonman, look for a line that has the /dev/sdXXX that matches your external hddd [14:02] jmspeex, you have to set that in the "actions" tab, and in bindings ... [14:02] jrib:ntfs [14:03] gluonman, paste that line here [14:03] dmaresca: I think you can do this in the printer settings thingy? [14:03] nope [14:03] jmspeex, change the "key" to your desired choice [14:03] bjb1959: can you paste your fstab line?

[14:04] gluonman, that's not for your external hdd [14:04] jmspeex, also remember to enable it! :) make sure you have x in the square [14:04] dmaresca: I have just looked and there is an option to share printer. [14:04] can someone recommend a decent gui cd/dvd authoring programm without big dependencies like kde [14:04] Atomic_UE: iwconfig [14:04] Morrissey: Yes, it's enabled. For some reason, the tick keeps coming off and I put it back. Still nothing [14:04] Atomic_UE, oh yeah. Hmmm. I don't see anything. [14:05] gluonman, the line you lookin for should have something like /media/blah in it [14:05] jmspeex, that sounds strange ... try to start "ccsm" in konsole, and see if it gives you any output when ticking it on [14:05] coffee-n-cream: ah, so it is working now? Are you actually running the nvidia driver? [14:06] Atomic_UE, there is a /media/cdrom and a /media/floppy. That's it.

[14:22] jmspeex, you said that "glxinfo | grep rendering" gives you yes? [14:22] Yes, I know. [14:23] Morrissey: yes [14:23] jmspeex, do a "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE" [14:24] is there such thing as a show desktop command so I can add to my dock? [14:24] Hello [14:24] gluonman, ok lets just try this another way. open a terminal and type 'sudo mkdir /media/exthdd' or something similar [14:24] Morrissey: only error is: (EE) xf86OpenSerial: Cannot open device /dev/input/event5 [14:24] Atomic_UE, okay. [14:24] jmspeex, and "sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri" just to be 100% on this ... if all this checks ok, then your hardware configuration is working ok, and we should get back to ccsm [14:24] fevel: with wmctrl, yes [14:25] I trying to update my punkbuster with command chmod a+x pbsetup.run && ./pbsetup.run and nothing happend [14:25] jrib, can you explaina little better? I didnt understand [14:25] fevel: find a clear area on taskbar > right button > Add to Panel > it's under "Desktop & Windows". [14:25] gluonman, I used to have the same problem with my external hdd too. I think i fixed it by reformatting the whole thing [14:25] Morrissey: package was already installed [14:25] achadwick, no..its the avant dock [14:25] gluonman, without the quotes when you type that thing too [14:25] Gutsy final still doesn't fix sound on a Dell D630! >;( [14:25] jmspeex, oh ... one more thing ... "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW" [14:25] Atomic_UE, that particular command doesn't seem to be working, and I intuitively understood that the quotes were not to be entered. [14:25] hi [14:26] hey all [14:26] !Xinerama [14:26] xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [14:26] fevel: wmctrl is a command. It is in the "wmctrl" package. You'll have to read its documetation after you install it to see how to use it (type 'man wmctrl') [14:26] gluonman, what error do you get? [14:26] fevel: the avant dock has a show desktop thingy somewhere [14:26] fevel: under applets [14:26] Atomic_UE, cannot create directory '/media/exthdd': File exists. [14:27] jmspeex, and did cube work? [14:27] Morrissey: got a bunch of warnings. The relevant one seems to be "(WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual *" [14:27] hey guys i have some error with the screenlets applications since i tried to install another one, now everytime i try to open it, it close automaticly, anyone got that before?, i had try to uninstall et reinstall the app with no success [14:27] I just installed Gutsy Xubuntu, and now my sound isn't working. I have a SB Live 5.1 card [14:27] by another one, i mean another screenlet [14:27] Morrissey: The cube works [14:28] gluonman, .... type sudo umount /media/exthdd [14:28] mc44, on available applets?? [14:28] jmspeex, if the cube works then opengl/dri is working well, and I see no reason why expo should't work [14:28] sve1: I've been hacking sound since the beta :( [14:28] hi ti the room.. [14:28] I think it's the ICH8 chipset [14:28] fevel: yes, called Showdesktop here [14:29] Atomic_UE, it said /media/exthdd: not mounted. [14:29] s00p: hmm, that doesn't sound good. it hasn't worked at all? [14:29] mc44, hmmm...I only have launcher/taskbar [14:29] * achadwick wonders whether a 6-year-old nvidia card ccan cope with compiz. [14:29] gluonman, cool, then sudo mount -w /dev/sdXX /media/exthdd [14:29] sve1: It works after I rebuild the kernel or compile alsa from source, replacing the packaged alsa. [14:29] gluonman, where sdXX is the device for your external hdd [14:30] . o O probably not [14:30] Atomic_UE, it said special device /dev/sdXX does not exist. [14:30] using Virual Box with an 8gig virtual drive, using the guided installed trying to set up the ext3 failed in partition #1 [14:30] jmspeex, sorry, got nothing more :S [14:30] anyone have any idea why? [14:30] gluonman, bleh sorry....connect your external hdd, wait a few seconds type sudo umount /media/exthdd [14:30] Atomic_UE, the hdd was connected when I did that. [14:30] fevel: try a newer veresion of avant perhaps? mine is http://download.tuxfamily.org/syzygy42/ gutsy avant-window-navigator [14:30] achadwick: it works on my nvidia2mx/32mb, although 2D performance is a bit low with regards to scrolling in firefox etc. [14:30] Atomic_UE, you mean disconnect and reconnect? [14:31] anyone know a way to fix the screenlet program when it seems the software has been corrupt by installing a screenlet, and then the software crash. And everytime i try to reopen the screenlet app, it crash at the second it is open? [14:31] gluonman, no [14:31] mc44, ok, thanks [14:31] gluonman, jut thought it wasn't connected === maca_sk5 is now known as cvetko [14:31] Atomic_UE, when I disconnect and reconnect, it won't even be able to mount it, according to the error that pops up. [14:31] gluonman, type sudo mount -w /dev/sdXX /media/exthdd [14:31] Ow2k: Have you check the screenlets website? I think they have a forum. [14:31] pici...nope didnt, i will thanks [14:32] Atomic_UE, I'm copying it strictly. Same thing. [14:32] gluonman, but replace sdXX with whatever your device is....the same as what you saw before when you looked through the properties of the icon [14:32] void^: Interesting. Card in question is a 64 MiB MX4000 [14:32] s00p: so I'll have to fix the kernel myself? [14:32] Atomic_UE, oh! I take things very literally, unfortunately. Okay. [14:33] how do you restart X remote, through SSH ? I have an app that crashes my computer.. when I kill it remotely (killall -9 app.exe or killall -15 app.exe) my computer doesn't respond.. so if I restart X it should? [14:33] how can i set firestarter to autostart on boot(gutsy)? [14:33] sve1: I have "intel hd audio" in my Dell.. You have a different chipset.. But you probably have to. [14:33] Sound works okay in Feisty! [14:33] jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42224/ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42225/ [14:33] s00p: I know :-( [14:33] gluonman, on a side note...does that icon for the external hdd still show or has it just disappeared? [14:33] ctl+alt+backspace..restarts X [14:34] how do i change the fonts in the tabs for firefox? they are way to big! [14:34] ...? [14:34] //whois xer0 [14:34] Baldie: /etc/init.d/gdm restart [14:34] <_Ahti> -.- [14:34] Atomic_UE, it doesn't still show. [14:34] Morrissey: how about the aiglx thing?

[14:35] Will the following packages be updated any time soon: Azureus to 2.5.0.4 (Fixes a number of major bugs), all compiz packages to 0.6.0 (stable release), and the game alien-arena (to 1.10, major release) [14:35] sve1: do an lspci and see what you have for sound [14:35] I'm on a Toshiba Satellite L20-268; my monitor was detected fine under Feisty, but just upgraded to Gutsy and now it can't automatically detect it. How can I find out/set it manually? [14:35] kan man nachträglich die partion von linux noch verändern und win xp inst? [14:35] gluonman, done the mount thing?

[14:36] Atomic_UE, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42226/ [14:36] sorry [14:36] Morrissey: BWT, Ctrl-Alt-Down in the cube does nearly what I want. Is there any equivalent for the desktop plane? [14:36] Atomic_UE, you think my English is good? [14:36] hi everyone [14:36] i thougt i been there [14:36] Pici: I found similar documentation for fixing the sound. The headphone jack on my docking station does not work yet though :( [14:36] hi, would appreciate some help finding what the gecko sdk has been packaged as in gutsy [14:37] I've got a serious issue trying to mount NFS volumes [14:37] anyone to give me a hand plz ? :) [14:37] gluonman, you said 'it doesn't still show.' that is wrong and confusing [14:37] hi,guys [14:37] Atomic_UE, oh, I see. You're making fun of my English lol. Yeah, I caught that mistake, though. [14:37] coffee-n-cream: well X can't find a decent one. Try purging linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) and nvidia-glx*, rebooting and then using restricted driver manager again. Read very carefully what the outcome of the commands are. I also don't know what envy does and how to undo it so that is another factor [14:38] gluonman, i was being sarcastic and telling you to use english instead :P [14:38] So, I just installed 7.10 on a Toshiba Satellite A105-S2716, and things seem to be running smoothly, except that the text in the username/password box is huge (much larger than the box), and the titlebars to all windows are equally large. Is this normal? [14:38] I want to do a custom installation for optimizing performance for Ubuntu Linux Gutsy Gibbon. I started the installation and arrived at the point to label, and size the partitions and stopped any suggestions? [14:38] speaking of intel hda support.. anyone able to boost the mic db... [14:38] Atomic_UE, I got you. I had actually written another sentence, but double checked what I was going to write and changed does to don't without bothering to correct the rest of it. [14:38] i can't boot the livecd [14:38] whatshisname: different on the different cards, but i have luck with.. *checks* [14:38] gluonman, ok so what was the command you entered? [14:39] can the font size in firefox even be changed? [14:39] whatshisname: sorry, i guess that's on my other soundcard. i don't think i can boost my mic in on my hda [14:39] ya, i remember not being able to a while back.. owell [14:39] sudo mount -w /dev/sda1 /media/exthdd [14:39] Atomic_UE, I just noticed that I miss typed w with 2. [14:40] Atomic_UE, I'm going to try again. [14:40] i've had mine disabled in the bios for so long.. using another inteface now.. but was curious [14:40] jrib: thanks.will try dat another day coz i really have to go.i guess ure still here tmr? [14:40] does anyone know what the gecko sdk package is called in gutsy? i'm not having any luck finding it [14:40] whatshisname: you could probably do some soft mixing to boost the volume [14:40] coffee-n-cream: maybe, someone is always around though [14:40] ciao [14:40] Pici: The Ubuntu team knows the sound is busted.. have for some time. Looks like a simple fix, enable intel-hd-audio in the kernel. [14:40] hehe] [14:40] ho un problema con la risoluzione di gdm [14:40] HOw do I diable xgl in Gutsy?

But 1313 people saying "I don't know" would get annoying. [14:43] Atomic_UE, the first time it did. The second time it said something along the lines of device already appears to be mounted... or something like that. [14:43] <|neon|> ne1 using avast antivirus ? if so is it any good or what other options do i have [14:43] gluonman, good...that means it worked :P [14:43] anyway i can update my samba? [14:43] |neon|: ClamAV is good from what I hear. [14:43] Atomic_UE, so I thought maybe it worked without outputting anything, but I went to the desktop and the icon was still missing. Then I went to My Places and tried to open it and got the error message saying it can't mount the device. [14:44] gluonman, in the old school days no output meant everything was good and working....if you got output then there must of been an error, because if it worked you don't need to know about it. If it didn't work then that is when you need to know [14:44] ]:( [14:44] <|neon|> does clamav has a gui? thx [14:44] hello all [14:44] clamav, no gui [14:45] gluonman, alt+f2 and type /media/exthdd [14:45] |neon|: clamtk is a frontend [14:45] oh oops [14:45] gluonman, you should then have everything that's on your ext hdd [14:45] does anyone know a decent AUDIO player (for gutsy)?

[14:45] gluonman, just drag and drop to copy and paste stuff [14:45] sve1: type that in the terminal [14:45] Atomic_UE, not exactly my hdd.

[14:46] Atomic_UE, it's something with a bunch of folders I don't recognise. [14:46] and, um, the 4,5 buttons on my mouse aren't working in firefox (back/forward). any way to fix that?

[15:01] So would you guys reccomend Wine or VMware? [15:01] blakeg: virtualbox is better then vmware [15:01] i've just upgraded to 7.10 and i have several questions: 1) how do i reinstall the restricted driver for mai ati radeon card and 2) how do i edit beryl setting [15:01] beirut: They do different things. [15:01] blakeg: now i cant reinstall or uninstall [15:01] !ccsm | SliMM [15:01] SliMM: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Gutsy(7.10) install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' - A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [15:02] s00p: thats if you use XP, i only use 2kpro and no issues whatsoever with 256mb of ram and a 10gig vdrive [15:02] virtualbox is better then vmware [15:02] tiago: vmware forums go [15:02] I guess I have some reading to do [15:02] blakeg: ok, thanks mate, you look like you have your hands rather full as its is hehe [15:02] blakeg: I should say.. Windows VM performance in general seems better under Parallels.. for me. [15:02] Aha. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/109882 is my HDA bug. Was Won't Fix for gutsy. [15:02] linuxinside: any other problems with vmware besides poor xp performance that would make me want to move to it? [15:02] gluonman, so if you're in hawaii it must be morning there [15:02] I'm about a day into my conversion from Windows to Ubuntu [15:02] pici: so i have to install smth for compiz? [15:02] tiago: sorry i cant help you, really, i am [15:03] SliMM: to do advanced configuration, yes. [15:03] Atomic_UE, it is 4:03am. [15:03] gluonman: wheres it 403am? hawaii? [15:03] gluonman, seee, i would of gone to sleep by now :P [15:03] do it [15:03] I can sleep during the day. I have it off. [15:03] hello folks. i dont want to start a distro-war here but I'd like to know what kinds of issue there might be using Ubuntu as a developer workstation over say, RHEL/Centos. [15:03] Is there a shared folder between the Windows VM and the Host on virtualbox? If yes I'm swtiching today. VMWare workstation dies on Gutsy. [15:03] blakeg: all good mate, we do what we can as a community, and its what makes us superior to the capitalist approach to computing [15:03] Pici: why doesn't gutsy come with the settings manager? a new user wouldn't know what to do [15:04] when i tried to enable compiz on nvidia geforce4 mx 440, it turns out "white screen"!!!help [15:04] anyway, what about the graphics card driver? [15:04] Atomic_UE, I would have slept earlier, but this process ended up being more than I anticipated, and I just want to make it to the next step at least. [15:04] kl4m: yes [15:04] Atomic_UE, but now we're back to where we started before I lost the exthdd. [15:04] !virtualbox [15:04] VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox [15:04] SliMM: Partially because the settings manager is very complex. Its been proposed for 8.04. [15:04] Atomic_UE, I need to make it read/write and not read only. [15:05] Pici: oh, i see, thank you :-); this will make ubuntu more user-friendly [15:05] gluonman, we've just done that, that's why you can now write stuff to your external hdd [15:05] embrace-ubuntu,try replace back to metacity [15:05] Pici: does emerald theme manager come with gutsy, or i have it because it was already installed? [15:05] Does virtual box works more like WMWare server or workstation? [15:06] the -w in the mount command meant mount as 'writeable' [15:06] SliMM: It is not installed by default. [15:06] gluonman, the -w in the mount command meant mount as 'writeable' [15:06] Lunz: now in metacity. but i want compiz [15:06] Atomic_UE, except that I tried to drag stuff into the exthdd folder and I got the same message saying that I couldn't do that. And I cannot delete anything from the exthdd, although one of the things I was trying to delete is gone now. [15:06] better yet, does virtualbox let me run windows games? hehe [15:06] VirtualBox is fast [15:06] in a windows guest i mean to say [15:06] it only supports 2d DX as of now [15:06] if u wish [15:06] any idea if the Calibri font is packaged? [15:07] Atomic_UE, although the .mpg files are responding to the media software I have installed unlike it did before all of this. [15:07] LinuxInside: any way to port my vmware fiels to virtbox? [15:07] blakeg: if you want to play games then Wine is a much better option [15:07] Pici: i know, just a dumb question i posed :) [15:07] sorry~~ [15:07] gluonman, .... oh hummm..... in a terminal type, mount | grep sdb1 and paste that ehre [15:08] i wanted to experiment with xen a bit, but yeah, that didnt work while simultaneously erroring out and compiling the kernel incorrectly [15:08] I just upgraded an old notebook from 7.04 to 7.10...and the Virtual 1600 1200 in X has stopped working...I get no virtual resolution now. Anyone have a clue why? [15:08] Atomic_UE, /dev/sdb1 on /media/exthdd type ntfs (rw) [15:08] gluonman, eh ntfs === twilight_ is now known as twilight === dinesh_ is now known as dine [15:09] anyone here know how to use gproftpd? i cant access the GUI after installing it === dine is now known as dinu123 [15:09] Can anybody upload a project to the Ubuntu Universe website?

[15:14] tiago: someone posted a link to a howto on it.. kinda vague, but requires a bit of work, thats what im working on right now [15:14] yep [15:14] relik: from the command line, there's a tool called alsamixer -- it should have a PCM v olume control [15:14] s00p: see ubotu. [15:15] thanks! [15:15] gluonman, change File Access to Read And Write [15:15] blakeg: hmmm i might have more luck installing vmware player, dont you think? [15:15] u only use unrar if the files are .r00 .r01 [15:15] gluonman, just for the first ones. the Owner ones [15:15] Pici thanks [15:15] emmajane: i can use the one on the bottom right, but when i use the volume buttons it lowers the "Mic" volume, and not the PCM, any idea how to change this? [15:15] Atomic_UE, Couldn't change the permissions of exthdd because it is on a read-only disk. [15:15] tiago: yeah, BUT if it doesnt support 64bit guests, youre still stuck [15:15] Atomic_UE, that's what it said. [15:15] tiago: or is that an issue? [15:16] relik: There should be a column within alsamixer specifically for PCM volume. [15:16] gluonman, and this here is one of the problems of ntfs [15:16] relik: You may need to use the right arrow to find a second screen of controls. [15:16] I hate these damned rar files [15:16] emmajane: yes there is, but my music buttons on my computer don't work [15:16] emmajane: i can manually adjust, thats not the prob ;l) [15:16] blakeg: well im running a 64bit guest on a 64bit host... so i supose so [15:16] Atomic_UE, is there anything that can be done to fix that? [15:16] gluonman, go into the Synaptic package manager [15:16] relik: I'm not sure what your question is if you do know how to adjust the volume? [15:17] i'm looking for some way to maintain my network mounts: one that will work through a suspend/resumption/reboot/network disconnection/reconnection, etc. [15:17] So, if my integrated wireless shows up on an lshw command ( *-network UNCLAIMED and then the description), does that mean it's recognized correctly? [15:17] Atomic_UE, done. [15:17] ? all, does vmplayer support 64bit guests or no? [15:17] emmajane: i have physical buttons on my laptop, that have a volume controller on it, when i physicall push them, the music volume display goes up and down, but its adjusting the microphone, not the PCM sound.

[15:23] gluonman, then type sudo mount -w /dev/sdb1 /media/exthdd again [15:23] Atomic_UE, okay.

I'll do that. I'll be back when I reboot. [15:32] Bonster: but now I want to write pictures to dvd, and I realy need the whole filename [15:32] kopps: if you press ctrl-alt-f1 do you see a login prompt? [15:33] I just installed those 2 Compiz Updates that were released just now, most of my effects have gone and CCSM fails to start [15:33] Pici, i am trying to install windows on a vm, tried vmware(i own workstation6) and a parallels trial from the net, and installation freezes ubuntu completely at the blue screen with the slideshow, at 13 mins left, every time, same place [15:33] well if u tell me wat ur using or go download another burner software then u be good [15:33] the joe: i had the same problem, i had to reinstall ccsm that fixed it === netsnipe is now known as Netsnipe [15:34] Pici: i never try it before,i am still a newbie :P [15:34] Bonster: can you suggest me a good one ? [15:34] Guest199: are you useing the live cd or the alternate one? [15:34] joe__: Ok I'll give it a shot [15:34] Guest199: er, I misread. [15:34] could someone please help me find firefox or gecko sdk for ubuntu gutsy? [15:34] k3b [15:34] Bonster: and I use nautilus 2.20.0 [15:34] Pici, im not installing ubuntu, im installing windows [15:34] i think ull like k3b better [15:34] Bonster: does k3b need kde ? [15:34] Maligen: yes [15:35] Guest199: I'm really not sure, I dont use virtual machines :( [15:35] Maligen: yeah,it does [15:35] my taskbar isn't showing icons for windows properly, i think it's a gconf problem, but it works fine when the orientation is "bottom" but not left or right [15:35] hi everyone. can someone be so kind and check page http://beta.sloreactor.com/v3.html and tell me if the tabs are properly positioned or are 1px above the bottom part of orange background?:$ [15:35] dont worry about that [15:35] is is ur add/remove [15:35] Pici i didnt want to hear that [15:35] Maligen: maybe some libs, but not the full install off kde [15:35] my ubuntu 7.10 onyl has gnome :P [15:35] allright [15:35] joe__: If you mean your panels, make a launcher to Terminal, sudo killall gnome-panel and then run gnome-panel again [15:35] I'm going to install [15:35] indeed, ubuntu is gnome [15:35] you know how yuo can run top and then chose which fields are displayed interactively by pressing f, is there anyway you can chose which fields it starts up with by default, by say using a switch or something? [15:36] or gnomebaker [15:36] joe__, I think that's "normal" [15:36] Maligen, k3b won't install kde, just at slacker_nl said, some libraries, there is also gnomebaker which is similar to k3b [15:36] Guest199: you could ask in #vmware :/ or perhaps even ##windows too. Keep asking here too though. [15:36] Maligen: look in your add/remove programs [15:36] guys: K3b cannot be installed on your computer type (i386) [15:36] Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. [15:36] soory it was 2 lines :$ [15:36] .join #teensonlinux [15:37] Pici: is that makes any difference if i press ctrl+alt f1? [15:37] porbally means u installed [15:37] kopps: do er, no, do you get a login screen or still the error on your screen? [15:37] Maligen: if you run aptitude --simulate install k3b it will tell you what it will install [15:37] waht to do now ? [15:37] opne k3b [15:37] allright === SarahBee is now known as GirlWhoNeedsHelp [15:38] where can I find firefox or gecko sdk for ubuntu gutsy? [15:38] No candidate version found for k3b [15:38] can anyone check the url i posted above please?:$ [15:38] Guest199 check this link for lockups http://techpatterns.com/forums/about911.html [15:38] Maligen, you could try gnomebaker as an alternative to k3b [15:39] Pici: can i use this method too in 7.10 livecd? [15:39] is it in the add/remove menu ? [15:39] GirlWhoNeedsHelp: it would be the same SDK for any linux distro, so you're better off asking the mozilla people on irc.mozilla.org [15:39] Maligen: u installed yet? [15:39] kopps: no, it sounds like the liveCD isnt going to work for you. [15:39] Maligen, its part of synaptic, you should be able to search for it there [15:40] fine [15:40] how much ram is needed to run ubuntu [15:40] What application should I use to manage content on my cell phone? [15:40] If ndiswrapper is included on the CD (is that information current for 7.10?), how do I go about installing/using it? (Add/Remove Programs doesn't seem to work without being already connected to the Internet.) [15:40] atlfalcons866: The minimum memory requirement for Ubuntu 7.10 is 384MB of memory for desktop CDs, and 256MB for other installation methods. [15:40] Atomic_UE, okay. I'm back in. I went through the process again. Same problem. [15:40] Atoic_UE, what else can be done? [15:40] why 384Now and not 256 like last time [15:40] wirechief1, you think that will help? [15:40] atlfalcons866: you can try Xubuntu if you have less RAM [15:40] !netsplit [15:41] Atomic_UE, it doesn't even show up on my desktop as an icon anymore. [15:41] gnomebaker: [15:41] depend: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly but it is not going to be installed [15:41] atlfalcons866: it is 256 for alternative installation.. [15:41] Maligen: Make sure that you have the multiverse and possibly restricted repos active. [15:41] Maligen, have you got all the repositories enabled? [15:41] Pici: i remember when i install using alternate cd,i do enable all resolution settings but it still does not works [15:41] is 256 enough to run ubuntu 7.10 though after installstion [15:41] gluonman, just having a think [15:42] altfalcons866: yes, definately [15:42] Atomic_UE, sure. [15:42] atlfalcons866: it might be a little low. I'd try xubuntu with that. [15:42] gluonman, but thinking doesn't happen very quickly at 1 in the morning :P [15:42] is there any way i can recall commands starting with certain characters in the past by pressing the up key? [15:42] my main computer has 512 my laptop only has 256though [15:42] Atomic_UE, or at 4:42 for that matter. [15:42] where is the thunderbird channel? [15:42] atlfalcons866: yeah,linux do not use up huge memory like windows vista does [15:42] does the 384mb ram applie to kubuntu too [15:42] Alp`: probably on irc.mozilla.org [15:42] Alp`: Might be on irc.mozilla.org [15:42] ok ty [15:42] atlfalcons866: I would assume so. [15:43] dudes when i boot on install it doesnt detect my card so i get the promp to lunch the install what i must type ? [15:43] install ? [15:43] atlfalcons866: yup, sure, when ubuntu starts, it uses less than 384MB memory [15:43] atlfalcons866: probably; kde isnt any more or less memory intensive than gnome [15:43] fine gnomebaker is installing :P [15:43] hallo. kann mir jemand einen deutschen channel nennen ? [15:43] !de | lxdalex [15:43] Is there anything in the repos that will catalog a large collection of mp3 cds? [15:43] lxdalex: #ubuntu-de [15:43] thx [15:43] i hope ubuntu is not going to become like vista in the next releases [15:43] thank you for help [15:43] memory wise [15:43] atlfalcons866: though it will swap more when you are going to run apps [15:43] ubuntitoo: your video card? [15:44] so gnome is less intensive than kde [15:44] Anyone have any experience installing gutsy sparc on a T1000? I'm running into a port unreachable problem after ipaddress and file is grabbed via tftp. [15:44] anyone here still use ubuntu 7.04 here?

[15:44] what u mean with the alternate cd ? [15:44] lag .... this is the worst enemy of mine [15:45] ubuntutoo: install ubuntu in text mode [15:45] deadheron: i know xfce is lightwight [15:45] !alternate [15:45] ubuntitoo: Its a checkbox on the download page. the live CD isnt compatible with everything.

Know I can't switch back because the window won't load... How can I do this manual? [15:47] When I first installed linux I was able to copy files from the exthdd to the desktop. I copied to large folders and that's all I've done with it. [15:48] matteo: no, but there are packages [15:48] okay, got it, thx [15:48] deadheron: what packages?

They are much more efficient in their allocation of storage units. [15:50] i mean executing that open the setup ? [15:50] no need to defragment [15:50] gluonman, the run 'sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/exthdd [15:50] KalEl: there is usually no need to do it. ext3 is quite smart and keeps free space aroud files to let them grow without fragmenting [15:51] JimmyDee: what pc or notebook are u using? [15:51] ubuntitoo: There should be no need to be on the command line at all on either Install CD. [15:51] gluonman, then what is the output of 'mount | grep sdb1' ?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [15:53] Guest199: yes, but it helps to ask more specific questions in here [15:53] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [15:53] i do su root it request me a pass that i dont know [15:53] gluonman, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [15:54] !root > ubuntitoo (ubuntitoo, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:54] Vlet i have but theres a lot of ppl in here and it gets overlooked [15:54] ubuntitoo: because there is no root password. try "sudo -i" instead [15:54] Vlet: yeah sorry -- it installed fine, but when i try to boot it stalls on the GRUB load (doesnt even get the splash screen) [15:54] Guest199: you just gotta be patient then, and occationally re-ask. What's your question [15:54] Atomic_UE, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42238/ [15:54] anyone use Xephyr with XDMCP? I'm getting segfaults. [15:54] having no luck sharing a printer from gutsy to a vista laptop. I have tried about 5 different howtos with different suggestions but none of them work. does anyone know how to share a printer through a wireless router to a vista machine? [15:54] but how do i run "install" ? from console [15:54] unimatrix9, the problem is that the same settings are loaded [15:54] ubuntitoo: "install" [15:55] bought a new printer from epson . my system recoginizes it as cx1500 where as i have cx2800 [15:55] Vlet, when installing windows on a vm(ive tried 2) ubuntu freezes completely at the slideshow where it shows all the features of windows, at 12 mins left [15:55] I can't turn it off because of the black window when I go to theme manager [15:55] it dont recognozig becuse i figure like a normal user [15:55] packetloss: you should search the net for your raid controller model + linux to see what experience others have had with it [15:55] bjb1959: make sure youre sharing via SMB, thats the only way vista understands [15:55] what program can i use to do C++ [15:55] gluonman, alt+f2 and /media/exthdd and give it another shot [15:55] i need get root ... sudo su < ? [15:55] ubuntitoo: What CD are you using? [15:55] 7.10 [15:55] atlfalcons866: gcc [15:55] ubuntitoo: Desktop or Alternate? [15:55] desktop [15:56] Guest199: hmm, are your video drivers properly installed? [15:56] sparrw: is there a good samba how to out there? I have never attempted to set that up and understand it is a real pain [15:56] ubuntitoo: You cannot do a command like install from the Desktop CD. You need to download the Alternate. [15:56] Vlet, yes i can use the desktop effects [15:56] bjb1959: it is a real pain. SMB is a horrible protocol, no one bothers writing decent clients for it. [15:56] bjb1959: it can be, depends on what you want to do [15:56] what is the difference ? [15:56] ubuntitoo,sudo -s [15:56] many video drivers properly installed,but ATI not [15:56] Lunz: its not going to work, hes on the live cd trying to install from the command line. [15:56] enquest : you can run an terminal? [15:56] Guest199: hmm, what windows distro, and what VM? [15:57] Atomic_UE, Yes! It works! [15:57] bought a new printer from epson . my system recoginizes it as cx1500 where as i have cx2800 [15:57] gluonman, omg finally :P [15:57] Vlet, windows xp pro, and ive tried vmware workstation6, and a pralells trial [15:57] ubuntitoo: The Alternate CD is for computers which cannot run the Desktop Install CD properly it has a textmode installer. [15:57] atlfalcons866, you're saying linux avoids fragmentation on the time of file creation? but how can that be? over time adding and deleting files is bound to lead to fragmented space... [15:57] unimatrix9, yes I can go to command line [15:57] ubuntitoo: Its as simple as selecting the checkbox on the ubuntu download page. [15:57] Guest199: parallels? Are you on a mac? [15:57] Pici slack dont recognozid my video card but when i run setup theres a "grafical" install [15:58] if i run install it could do the same ? [15:58] ubuntitoo: This isnt slack [15:58] Atomic_UE, I know! Now I just need to copy my files and then I can finally start reinstalling Ubuntu and partition the way I should. [15:58] i think it was somehting like gnome-window-decorator --replace [15:58] damm ... :( [15:58] Vlet, no ubuntu 7.109 [15:58] where i can get the alternate ... [15:58] Atomic_UE, all of this in the name of upgrading to Gutsy. [15:58] 7.10* [15:58] i dont wanna download the same [15:58] KalEL: ext3 is more efficent it dosent pack files at the 1st contigous block found. [15:58] Hi [15:58] KalEL: like ntfs or fat do [15:58] ubuntitoo: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Please check the "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer." checkbox [15:58] gluonman, it's annoying when 1 tiny proprietary thing can screw up the whole thing [15:58] !info hardy [15:58] Package hardy does not exist in gutsy [15:59] Guest199: oh, didn't know it was available for nix... Well, I've always had luck with VirtualBox [15:59] atlfalcons866, that's amazing!

[15:59] Vlet, the reason i am trying to use vmware is because of its support and speed of opengl... [15:59] will Linksys WMP54G ver 4.1 work on gutsy? [15:59] when I am using hdparm -t for the first the first time the speed is 6-12 MB/sec, later onwards it is reaching 35 MB/Sec each time. Does this mean hdparm needs to be called manually. hdparm is enabled in services! [16:00] thanks [16:00] and1, i think so, its broadcom based right? [16:00] I think so [16:00] ext [16:00] Atomic_UE, even though sometimes things aren't working the way you're trying to get them to work and it's annoying, for the most part, learning linux is fun. [16:00] gluonman, on another note....FAT32 is probably a better filesystem for an external hard drive that is only used to store files [16:00] KalEL: read this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3#Defragmentation [16:00] damm its shit i cant believe ubuntu doesnt recogno my card [16:00] it don't seem to be working on the live cd, would installing the os make it work any better? [16:00] and1 it should be, either by the restricted drivers manager or by installing bcm43xx-fwcutter, or by just obtaining firmware [16:00] !language | ubuntitoo [16:00] cp: cannot stat `./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri': No such file or directory [16:00] bjb1959: you'd forward the cups tcpip port through the router, sorry, I don't know the details [16:00] ubuntitoo: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.

[16:01] unimatrix9, command not found [16:01] and1, it wont work out of the box, but its not that hard to set up [16:01] hmmm [16:01] gluonman, you'll get more useable space if you use FAT32, and you're pretty much guarenteed to not have the problems we just did [16:01] MasterShrek: how would I get it setup if I can't get online? [16:01] does Ubuntu have a package for a GUI Virtual Machine Manager like what Fedora's KVM comes with? [16:01] soo with the desktop cd if doesnt recognozig my card its impossible to install ? [16:01] gluonman, you can yes. But do it after you've reinstalled and got back everything you want [16:02] and1, the easiest way would be to get the firmware, and put it on the machine, via a usb flash drive or such [16:02] any webcam programs for ubuntu? [16:02] Atomic_UE, how do I do it? [16:02] Help I just changed video card and can't enable compiz any more, what do I have to check [16:02] !webcam | chris__ [16:02] chris__: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [16:02] unimatrix9, I solved it thanxs [16:02] ok [16:02] Why is a service called "765/tcp open webster" running on my PC? How can i remove it?

[16:03] the alternate its the same that desktop or theres diference ? [16:03] and1, http://www.mediafire.com/?bqn8x4eancv if u download that file, extract it and put all the bcm43xx* files in /lib/firmware you should be able to get it working no problem, i think my friend has that same card and thats how we got it working [16:03] greetings everyone, is there any kind soul who might be able to answer a few newbie questions to a tentative xubuntu switcher ? [16:03] anyone? [16:03] gluonman, when you have your working ubuntu system, just install gparted, connect the exthdd, run gparted, select the device that looks like your exthdd with 1 ntfs partition, delete that partition and create a new one as FAT32, or vfat [16:03] !ask | braaaaains [16:03] braaaaains: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [16:03] !ask [16:03] MasterShrek: tyvm :) [16:03] atlfalcons866, thanks... i was on the similar article: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/2270 ;) [16:04] and1, no prob, let me know how it works for ya :) [16:04] Atomic_UE, okay. Will definitely do. [16:04] atlfalcons866, let me read yours [16:04] beni: what does `which webster` return? [16:04] Atomic_UE, and that will erase what I have saved on there? [16:04] its not for me its for a friend I just talked into ditching windows ;) [16:04] Pici: nothing [16:04] KalEL: every new linux user coming from windows asks about defragging [16:04] Pici: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:765 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 6523/rpc.mountd [16:04] gluonman, yes it will...so make sure u grab what u want [16:04] I have gutsy7.10 (upgraded all the way from hoary5.04 in fact) ... and I am having to use the Feisty7.04 kernel to avoid "device-mapper" kernel errors.... ?does anybody recognize these sorts of errors? [16:05] Atomic_UE, I will be very sure to do that. [16:05] atlfalcons866, i see... seems defragmenting is only necessary for FAT, not even for NTFS! === mmm is now known as mmc [16:05] Atomic_UE, it would be most ironic, though not funny, if I managed to screw that up after all of this trouble. [16:05] buenas [16:05] hi [16:05] KalEL: yup [16:05] ok, I am back to the question is there a good howto out there for setting up print sharing via samba? [16:05] gluonman, depending on how big your exthdd is, i think you can gain up to an extra 10gb of space on a 120gb hdd by using fat32 over ntfs [16:06] Atomic_UE, mine is a 500gb. [16:06] beni: which are you asking about? webster or rpc.mountd? [16:06] Atomic_UE: wow? is fat32 really more efficient than ntfs? [16:06] KalEl, defrags are sometimes necessary for ntfs [16:06] !googleearth [16:06] Google Earth is now available, for free (only as in price), for Linux, too. To download it see http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html - A package for Ubuntu is available in the !Medibuntu repository [16:06] Hi all, I've tried to install many times ubuntu 7.10 on flash USB Sony 8G as instructed in the pendrive's instruction, but it is always failed.Do you know about another instruction how to?? [16:06] [16:06] Pici: the port is called "webster" but the PID seems to be from mountd?! [16:06] I installed ubuntu 7.10 on my latop. At the beginning I shrinked and moved my vista partition to the very end and deleted and recreated all other partitions. In my boot menu I see vista as a choice but when I select it, the pc reboots instead of starting vista... [16:06] Atomic_UE: from experience, though, they take a very long time [16:07] any idea how I get to boot vista? [16:07] KalEl, it's way better than fat, but sometime you still need to defrag ntfs....had to do it on a work machine today [16:07] I mounted the partition, it should still be there... [16:07] can someone offer me help on installing a hauppauge 350 on ubuntu 7.10 [16:07] g0th: you might need to change /boot/grub/menu.lst to have the right device there... not sure [16:07] why doesn't sudo apt-get build-essential work anymore? [16:07] anyone? [16:07] nomic: [16:07] says can't find package [16:08] nomic: build-essentialS [16:08] add the word install after apt-get [16:08] ar ok [16:08] lardarse: yep probably that x) [16:08] anyone?? [16:08] beni: no, there is no S. [16:08] enyc: it is the right device there [16:08] no s at the end of build-essential [16:08] lardarse, fat32 isn't more efficient, it's just different. It records less metadata for each file, so that gives you more space to play with [16:08] g0th: are you sure... (hd0,0) etc. ? [16:08] sudo apt-get install build-essential [16:08] I have an old G4 400mhz tower that I just installed a new HD in and I would like to turn it into a work fileserver using Wired software found at (zankasoftware.com) I am also curious if I will be able to administrate this server via the CLI terminal on my mini without having another distribution installed on another computer. [16:08] Reading package lists... Done [16:08] Building dependency tree [16:08] Reading state information... Done [16:08] E: Couldn't find package build-essential [16:08] Atomic_UE, my files are going to take an hour or so to finish copying to the exthdd. In the meantime, though, I have one more question that shouldn't take another hour. How do I install an efficient DVD decoder to sync my DVDs? Do you know? [16:08] g0th: you might need to do a "fixboot" on the partition from recovery disk... don't know!

[16:09] beni: I'm not sure, I'd just search dpkg -S or apt-file for webster and see what package its in. [16:09] lardarse, for something that is just going to be used as a straight file dump and nothing more fat32 is better, ntfs for this purpose would just have all these extra features that wouldn't be useful [16:09] sudo apt-get install build-essential doesn't work anymore [16:09] whats more secure truecrypt or pgp [16:09] ? [16:10] nomic, sudo apt-get update first? [16:10] seeing as grub is becoming a popular topic in here: how do i boot to windows in safe mode, once grub is setup for dual booting? [16:10] Atomic_UE: only trouble can be that FAT32 does not allow files over 4gb [16:10] ency: how does that work? [16:10] updat is a package lardarse? [16:10] I've been reading man page for adduser but i cant quite figure out how to add a user with administration priveledges from command line. Is this possibe? [16:10] update [16:10] anyone?? Help me with installing ubuntu on Flash USB stick 8G?? [16:10] lardarse, after you choose windows, hold f8 i believe [16:10] erm [16:10] ok [16:10] gluonman, that sir, I wouldn't know....I've yet to play too much with dvds apart from just getting them to run so i can watch them [16:10] http://rafb.net/p/yQ3Xgb69.html [16:10] !install | MrPrayer [16:10] nomic: apt-get needs to know what it's doing with the list of packages that you are telling it about [16:10] MrPrayer: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[16:11] gluonman, my last spindle of cds i bought over a yr ago is still lasting me :P [16:11] and there's other commands that can eb sent to apt-get as well [16:11] :D thanks [16:11] Atomic_UE, haha. [16:11] MrPrayer, i found this tutorial http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [16:11] its doing a big update whats that [16:11] $ sudo apt-get install build-essential [16:11] that should work [16:11] also I have an entry chainload into grub2 what is that? can I remove that entry? [16:11] i know [16:11] enyc, fat32 does, fat16 doesn't [16:11] but don't type the $ [16:11] but it didn'ty [16:12] g0th, if you dont use it then probably [16:12] can you use the pastebin to paste the error message? [16:12] well whatcha know... my problem was solved [16:12] enyc, .....i think....now u got me wondering.....i can't remember now....it to late... :S [16:12] thanks guys [16:12] i right clicked and removed network manager from panel in 7.10, how do i get it back? [16:12] ok is fine now [16:12] ty [16:12] Atomic_UE, well, since I think I basically know what to do with the partitioning and reinstallation, I think I'm going to go to bed and finish when I wake up. But first, when it comes to actually upgrading to Gutsy, I will have to boot into the 5gig root / right? Not /home? [16:12] @spikeb, that's what I found. But still failed [16:12] MrPrayer, darn. that's about as much as i know on the subject. [16:13] Atomic_UE: I dont believe you... ;-) 4gb limit still im sure [16:13] i am so glad my windows disk is a coffee mat now [16:13] furman_, doesnt reappear when you restart x? [16:13] furman_: add the notification area [16:13] it should appear again [16:13] :D May be I have to buy another Flash thumb :P ..anyway thanks [16:13] atlfalcons866, thanks for that link it explains stuffs well. seems it's the philosophy which is different - FAT tends to allocate files consecutively, whereas ext3 tries to leave a lot of space between them. [16:13] Is there any way to make nautilus use less RAM/memory? [16:13] Does anybody know how to connect itunes to itunes shop [16:14] KalEL: your welcome [16:14] !itunes [16:14] itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [16:14] ah, notification area, thanks [16:14] PLEASE HELP!!! When i'm trying to install mysql, linux prints me that command: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' [16:14] XMMS i like it [16:14] Hi folks. [16:14] enyc, there's a 4gb limit on FAT32? [16:14] Vov4ik: What command are you using? [16:14] how do i login to ssh using a username like ana@lacapsula.com ? [16:14] PLEASE HELP!!! When i'm trying to install mysql, linux prints me that text: "-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('", what i'm doing incorrect x( [16:14] gluonman: yes... on filesize [16:15] anabelle: ssh ana@lacapsula.com [16:15] furman_: you can also go system > administration > network to configure it more fully [16:15] enyc, that won't work for me. [16:15] mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('yourpassword'); [16:15] Banging my head against a wall here with a wine printing problem. Where the heck do you find the WINE config file in Ubuntu?? I need to set the "afmdirs" somehow. [16:15] gluonman: ?what? [16:15] so how do I boot vista? [16:15] this is freekin weird, i installed ubuntu but it never asked me for a first user name and password, could this be because i installed over a previous installation? [16:15] I know but I do it with Codeweavers works wel but we can not buy music [16:15] g0th: /msg me your "fdisk -l" output [16:15] Oriona: why does grub reboot when I select the vista entry instead of booting vista [16:15] does gutsy come with a real time kernal out of the box? [16:15] Vov4ik: you need to be in mysql to do that, you cant type it at the bash prompt. [16:15] or do i have to install it? [16:15] enyc, I was the one having the conversation with Atomic-UE about reformatting my exthdd from ntfs to FAT32. [16:15] how to automatically login [16:15] enyc, ah yes my bad...i remember now...fat32 has 4gb file size limit, fat16 has 2gb partition size limit [16:15] han_, for buying music on itunes you may need to use wine to run it (sry i never use itunes so i dont know for sure if its installable) [16:16] enyc, but I'm going to need to save things larger than 4gb. [16:16] Pici: you beat me to it about bash/sql prompts diffs [16:16] pawan: usually check the "Login screen" options [16:16] user@ubuntu:/$ mysql -u root [16:16] ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [16:16] user@ubuntu:/$ [16:16] pawan you just set that up in your settings [16:16] gluonman: yes... and you sauid to me "that wont work for me" [16:16] this is freekin weird, i installed ubuntu but it never asked me for a first user name and password, could this be because i installed over a previous installation? anybody? [16:16] gluonman: darn ;-) [16:16] does anyone know if gutsy comes with a real time kernel? [16:16] Vov4ik: sudo mysql [16:16] Pici x( [16:16] pawan: i should remember this... i did it 2 days ago... hang on [16:16] pawan: Make that "login windows" [16:16] notv: iirc, no. [16:16] enyc, if not FAT32, than what should I go for? [16:16] user@ubuntu:/$ sudo mysql [16:16] ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) [16:16] gluonman, in that case stick with ntfs, which allows for files over 4gb [16:16] Vov4ik: Please read the man pages for mysqladmin [16:16] arghh2d2, strange, but just add a user upon rebooting [16:16] genii: good idea [16:17] hi [16:17] pawan: system > administration > login window > security [16:17] notv, yes, its in the repos [16:17] pawan I think its under system-administration-login [16:17] flugger: ext3 works fine... depends what you want to read it back with [16:17] even ubuntu studio has no rt kernel out of the box.. not fully preemptive anyway, just low latency desktop. [16:17] MasterShrek i need to adduser with admin priveledges, how can i do that? [16:17] pici whats iirc? [16:17] gluonman, 4gb file limit totally slipped my mind for fat32...i always forget about it :P [16:17] Is there any way to make nautilus use less RAM/memory? [16:17] notv: if i rememeber correctrly [16:17] notv: If I Recall Correctly [16:18] thanks [16:18] Atomic_UE, but wait, what I'm thinking of are my films that I store. Would I be able to save them to a FAT32 hdd if the individual files in the overall package are under 4gb? Or does the whole package have to be under tha tlimit? [16:18] the r can be either [16:18] arghh2d2, ooh good point, if you cant log in as root because of no root password, you may be kinda screwed, u may have to load the livecd and do a chroot [16:18] close what u needn't [16:18] lardarse: no, if it was either it would be an E. :p [16:18] yeah yeah [16:18] gluonman, each file u put onto the hdd needs to be 4gb or less for fat 32 [16:19] MasterShrek i logged in as root through the failsafe terminal and i can create users, just cant seem to get one with admin priv [16:19] Can gparted resize partitions? [16:19] atlfalcons866, it seems it is more upto the OS than the file system, to allocate files close together, or scatter them so that defragmentation is not needed. [16:19] Atomic_UE, it won't work. I'm going to be installing World of Warcraft and stuff like that, so there's no way. [16:19] Has anyone correctly configured Ubuntu with WINE to print? [16:19] Flynsarmy: which filesystem is the partition you are trying to resize? [16:19] gluonman, anything larger than 4gb will stop at 4gb [16:19] arghh2d2, run visudo as root and add an entry that mimics the entry for root, except with your user's username [16:19] KalEL: its mostly the file system [16:19] Atomic_UE, as an alternative to FAT32, is there anything else besides ntfs that you would recommend? [16:20] gluonman, stick with the ntfs then, that's your next best seeing as there is no real widely supported fs that is all read/write etc [16:20] KalEL: if it was up to the os then ntfs would fragment as much as fat32 [16:20] MasterShrek thanks, i'll give it a shot [16:20] lardarse: its the swap. it's too small. every time i try to hybernate my laptop it says not enough swap space :( [16:20] Atomic_UE, okay. [16:20] gluonman, not really...there ARE alternatives and better things no doubt [16:20] Atomic_UE, are you on #ubuntu often? [16:20] lardarse windows is at the start of the hdd for about 220gb, then there's a 500mb swap space then 20gigs or so ubuntu [16:20] gluonman, but for something that needs to be compatible with ms windows, no there isn't [16:20] Flynsarmy: if there's space on the hard drive, you can create another swap partition [16:21] alteregoisback, exactly... that's what i am wondering... but from the article i get the impression that the file allocation structure is same, what matters is when a new file comes where you put it [16:21] Atomic_UE, I don't think it needs to be compatible with Windows. [16:21] gluonman, yeh every now and again...i took a break until i got gutsy :P [16:21] lardarse: Using gparted without losing any data on the hdd? (only about 2-3gigs of the windows partition has anything on it. its freshly installed) [16:21] gluonman, well if you're gonna put WoW on it I would of thought it would [16:21] what is better compiz or beryl [16:22] hey ya MasterShreck [16:22] Atomic_UE, but there's also wine to run WoW. [16:22] pawan: compiz-fusion [16:22] how to install it [16:22] Flynsarmy: i have no experience with gparted.... but if you're freshly installed with both windows and ubuntu, and you have the time [16:22] pawan: gutsy [16:22] gluonman, i suppose [16:22] yes [16:22] pawan: its already installed on Gutsy [16:22] pawan: it's all in there. Just go to appearance and enable it [16:22] !ccsm | pawan [16:22] Atomic_UE, although there are the uncommon occasions in which I will take my exthdd and hook it up to a computer somewhere to play WoW. [16:22] lardarse: What partitioning software do you recommend? [16:22] gluonman, but if u ever want to stick that hdd into a windows machine it'd be handy if windows could read it [16:23] pawan: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Gutsy(7.10) install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' - A new option will appear in your appearance properties - see also !compiz === Martinp24 is now known as Martinp23 [16:23] Flynsarmy: then you may want to consider reinstalling everything... but many people consider it a pain in the ass to reinstall operating systems [16:23] I want to install ubuntu on LVM, without having it install its bootloader. this because its on a macbook, with a 4 partition limit. I do have a grub on the disk that i want to use. is this safe to do? will the alternate install ask and finish gracefully without having installed lilo/grub? [16:23] and i can't recommend anything because i didn't resize any partitions [16:23] how to enable it [16:23] when installing ubuntu [16:23] Atomic_UE, right. I'll just stick to ntfs for now, and maybe I'll learn about something else later. And if I have any problems I'll just log onto #ubuntu and ask someone (you if you're on). [16:23] Flynsarmy-> you can allocate swap spaces from your ubuntu partition, pick the spaces at the end [16:23] gluonman, yeh no worries [16:23] pawan: Under the Visual tab, select the bottom option. [16:24] i finally got Compiz to run on Kubuntu [16:24] Morning! Can one skip a release - e.g. go straight from Edgy to Gutsy ? [16:24] pawan: Sorry, don't have access to gutsy just now; on a terminal server. [16:24] ency: can we continue talk here [16:24] hi [16:24] Blinny, probably, but its not recommended [16:24] but man the 32 bit version has som sluggs in it lol [16:24] any1 can hear me? [16:24] bulmer: so i'd have 2 swap spaces. one in the middle of my hdd and one right at the end. wouldn't that be a bad thing? [16:24] Atomic_UE but now I'm just making chit-chat, so I'm actually going to hit the sack (finally) and finish what I started when I wake up. If I run into you again here, I'll say hi. [16:24] enabled it but not getting effect [16:24] ency: you somehow got autoignored after "[enyc(n=enyc@onethreethreeseven.whitehorse.co.uk)] #savedefault" [16:24] lalalalo: yes [16:24] no lalalalo i cant hear you =P [16:24] !hi | lalalalo [16:24] lalalalo: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [16:24] Blinny: I wouldn't recommend that, but you could just change your apt sources.list and do a dist-upgrade [16:24] :( [16:24] thax FluxD [16:24] yea lalalalo [16:24] MasterShrek: So, if you wanted to stay just on the LTS track, you should go in baby steps, from LTS to the mid-release, then to the next LTS ? [16:25] Looking for someone with some experience with Gutsy and LDAP client authentication. Any takers? [16:25] anyone running on intel macbook, i have some dvd issues [16:25] =)) [16:25] nice name huh [16:25] Blinny, no, you need to upgrade from Edgy to Feisty then to Gutsy [16:25] dgjones: Thank you. [16:25] hi lardarse [16:25] so wat we up to? [16:25] Crap. [16:25] Blinny, i would, the changes in between would probably be too great to take in one large step, also gutsy isnt lts fyi [16:25] gluonman, yeh sleep time for me too [16:25] hello [16:25] Atomic_UE, good night!

If by startup programs you mean session? [16:48] FluxD: no - i'm thinking command-line. I used to have one, but i think i uninstalled it. [16:49] id rather not, can you tell me what exactly i need to get from the repos mastershrek? [16:49] jon_, its in the repos, search synaptic for it, it should look just like your normal kernel package but with -rt at the end, make sure you get the modules, and headers and stuff [16:49] [CroX]: yeah - isn't there an option to launch stuff on login? [16:49] [CroX], ok, not sure where it is located, but let me take a wild guess ... see if "ln -s /usr/bin/metacity /home//.gnome/Autostart" works (that last dir has to exsists ...

[16:49] caner: plug it in afterwards? [16:50] i think the problem is i dont know what a normal kernel package is [16:50] caner: you probs need to change your bios boot order.

[16:51] [CroX], unfortunally, I don't know where gnome keeps its Autostart bindings [16:51] jon_, probably, im not 100% cuz im using a custom kernel, let me check for you [16:51] do somebody here have ubuntu??? [16:51] <[CroX]> Morrissey, Ahh. [16:51] caner: see if its listed in /media [16:51] Morrissey: in home/config [16:51] shearn: I am not sure if they are commandline but try soundconverter and audioconvert [16:51] does anyone of you have a linuxant license key? [16:51] guy's say.. for voodo3 screen card, what i can download.. for a better dissing [16:51] FluxD: cheers.

[17:59] Creed: Right. But what sort of server things are you running that require X, let alone persistence of your X programs?

Is there a definitive place to go for fixing this? [18:00] Flannel, I want to use it as a thin client server that doesn't just kill the session once a user logs off. [18:00] !help [18:00] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [18:00] Delvien: lower the color depth. lower the resolution. turn off unnecessary graphical stuff on the remote machine. increase your bandwidth. [18:00] Creed go buy some sun ray love :D [18:00] um. fs-driver.org does ext3 right? [18:00] Creed, i find XDMCP to be the best in simple thin client tech [18:00] somone help me getting vmware 6 working with Gutsy ???? [18:01] bqmassey: think so. [18:01] bofh80, sun ray love? Im sitting outside drinking pineapple smoothies :) [18:01] Creed, whether it can do what you want or not is another questions [18:01] Creed, lol, as in SUN lol. you know SUN [18:01] anyone know how to upgrade the internet explorer in wine? [18:01] Creed, if your in the UK not he paper ok :P [18:01] Hello! [18:01] Creed: What sorts of things are you looking to keep around? [18:01] drake: You might have more luck in #winehq [18:02] sparrw how would i increase my bandwidth [18:02] drake: you'd have to download the latest .exe, and install it manually. [18:02] bofh80, it does the job but I want to be able to have the session keep going even after the user logs off. I want this so my parents can for example do something on the kitched thin client, then head outside and use that one and just resume where they left off. [18:02] Flannel, his actual session, i spose the same way Rdesktop (terminal services) works in windows [18:02] bofh80, lol [18:02] I have some problems with gutsy.. i'm used some compiz effects [18:02] with a nvidiacard [18:02] Delvien: pay your ISP more [18:02] Is it possible to change permissions of a FAT-32 partition? [18:02] sparrw lol [18:02] Delvien: i suggest the other options first [18:02] After that I tried to use a second screen [18:02] but, it failed [18:02] Creed, yes, have you ever had the opertunuty to see SUN thin clients in action? with their little secure cards? [18:02] lgc_: as a whole, yes. change the permissions of its mount point. [18:02] hello [18:02] sparrw as far as graphical stuff, what would u suggest [18:03] can i get some assistance with ndiswrapper? i installed it as well as the xp driver but im not getting wireless access [18:03] lgc_: of files, no. [18:03] what is gdM? [18:03] GDM [18:03] i rebooted and made sure i installed the headers [18:03] Steffan: is your display normally fine without the effects? [18:03] Flannel, I want to be able to VNC in or do something similair and once I disconnect/power off the thin client I dont want to lose the session. [18:03] what version of Windows is Wine bases off of (xp, 2000, etc)? [18:03] Creed first they cant sign out i think [18:03] Delvien: turn down your color depth. from 32/24/fullcolor to 8 or even 4 bit. that will speed it up tremendously [18:03] bofh80: I was asking because with screen it would be doable (say he wants torrent apps or whatnot). There's a fundamental difference between the way rdesktop works (connecting to a session already started) and XDMCP (literally logging in just like a regular user) [18:03] So do anyone know how to desable addition end of words in Open Office [18:03] ? [18:03] Creed, again, XDMCP is probably what you want to look at, i tell you what, since i want the functionality you describe as well, i'll check out whether it hands session saving :d [18:03] secondly you need to use not the usual vnc [18:03] sparr, then how can I delete a file, for example? [18:03] jon_: yeah - does your card come up in iwconfig? [18:03] bofh80, I use homemade thin clients :) [18:03] shearn89, yes... [18:03] sparrw is there a configuration file i can make these changes to? [18:03] what version of windows is wine based from? [18:03] deaddreamer: its the program that starts X and displays the login prompt, then gives the X server to whoever logs in [18:04] Steffan: have you installed the nvidia drivers? [18:04] But i like the effects [18:04] !search [18:04] Found: ppa, 11:57] strigi, roadnav, sources.list-#ubuntu-effects, qvm86, repos, alsa-source, sources, kernel-source, shortcuts [18:04] to install gdm skins do i need some extra program? [18:04] i think its X11vnc or something like that [18:04] but the effects use another nvidia driver [18:04] X11vncserver ? [18:04] Flannel, i digress, Rdesktop does exactly that too (literally logging in just like a regular user) < a session does not have to be already started, that's remote assistance and there's a big difference [18:04] when I use that driver.. [18:04] bofh80, keeping the session open is what I want, so if someone starts listening to music (its tied with a house-wise audio system) and shuts down the thin client, the music continues to play. [18:04] lgc_: mount the drive as a user instead of root, or have root pass mount parameters that make it globally writable. i believe you could also change the permissions or ownership of the mount point. [18:04] Ubuntu is working ok [18:04] Steffan: try in #ubuntu-effects - may be able to help better. [18:04] for a while [18:04] Delvien: what remote desktop protocol? which client? which server? [18:04] also !enter | steffan [18:04] Creed, woohah, i don't even think SUn can do that. [18:04] shearn89 im not sure...should it say ar5007eg? [18:05] bofh80, lol [18:05] jon_: i think it would say something like wlan0 (blah blah blah) [18:05] sparrw vncviewer with i think vnc-server running on the one im connecting to [18:05] !enter | steffan [18:05] yea [18:05] deaddreamer: no. you can 1 - drag/drop archives onto the logon manager or 2 - just extract the archives to seperate folders in /usr/share/etc/gdm/themes (i *think*) [18:05] ah ok [18:05] IEEE 802.11 g essid: off/any etc [18:05] Creed, in that case, you would have WINAMP for say, running on the server, and use the thin client, to Remote Control it. not winamp rather XMMS or somethign that has remote control features. i don't know which linux music app can handle this [18:05] ill check [18:05] thanks :D [18:05] bofh80, it works great if I log in locally to the server and the thin clients connect to the already existant session, but I want to be able to login...wait, how can I make it so a user gets logged on automatically (I dont mind security issues)? [18:06] Ho do u uninstall something installed using an abcd.sh file? [18:06] jon_: yeah - its recognise. [18:06] Aew galera, alguem sabe me dizer qual pacote eu instalo pra poder colocar widget no meu gnome!!! ??? to usando ubuntu 7.10 !! [18:06] *recognised. [18:06] Creed, there is an automatic login option in the login options :) [18:06] errr /usr/share/gdm/themes dunno how i got an etc in there, deaddreamer [18:06] !es | ThamHKI [18:06] ThamHKI: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda.

[18:06] shearn89 great, where should i go from here? [18:06] Delvien: open the menu in vncviewer (f8 i think), turn off auto-whatever, then turn down the color depth [18:06] hehe ok thanks riotkittie [18:06] bofh80, I only see a username field, no password? Does it fill that it itself? [18:06] Ho do u uninstall something installed using an abcd.sh file? [18:06] jon_: it should be working - can you see any access points? [18:06] sparr, what do you mean by 'root pass mount parameters'? [18:06] anyone using amule? what is up with ther servers? i cant seem to connect to anyone of them [18:06] would the xorg-dev package be sufficient for the via driver to be compiled?

[18:39] BlkGhost pretty much keep hitting enter until you get an error if u do [18:39] okeefenokee, but the mainly vendors only write windows drivers, which is the actual problem [18:40] bofh80: Yeah, that would be ideal.

[18:41] cherba foreground it? [18:41] okeefenokee: not sure. Just says "dangerous"...

[18:42] Delvien no problem [18:42] I just did a fresh install of gutsy on my laptop(after previously upgrading feisty to gutsy, and working ~ fine).

[18:42] um, need help: i was downloading in azureus and suddenly it gave a warning that the directory was read-only, so i reset the xserver (alt+ctrl+backspace) and it gave a warning that it couldn't start the GUI or something, so i reset and now ubuntu doesn't work (hangs while booting and then going to like, console mode), any ideas? [18:43] veevi you getting any errors? [18:43] Sharpie, if you want a GTK based bit torrent client, use Deluge [18:43] try rebiuldingi you driver kernel [18:43] i don't give a fuck about the BT right now, my ubuntu is dead >_< [18:43] Sharpie: Delvien: or transmission. [18:43] run the nvidia driver setup :D [18:43] Hello [18:43] Sharpie, first suggestion, don't use that POS azurus. and it sounds like maybe your disk might be full? any chance? [18:43] Delvien, well, just a black screen, till the login screen pops up, but the black screen takes forever(way longer then feisty did) [18:43] Shearn89 I personally love Deluge now :) after 2 years running azureus [18:44] FluxD: haha, funny guy [18:44] Some one know what the compiz irc is? [18:44] bofh80: no, not full [18:44] veevi see whats in your start up session [18:44] Sharpie: but i see your point. Maybe try booting off livecd? [18:44] #compiz-?????? [18:44] don't know it anympre [18:44] shearn89: and then what? [18:44] Delvien: i use rtorrent - command line stylee! [18:44] Delvien, it's a brand new install, but ok, hold on [18:44] steffan: #compiz-fusion [18:44] Sharpie: probs have to some complicated chrooting, and delete some stuff. [18:44] slacker_nl: ?? [18:44] shearn89: what? o_o [18:45] Sharpie: there use to be a post in the development forum on chrooting to fix a broken gutsy. Its where you use the cd to boot up, but then mount the hard drive as the main thingy, and can run like that. [18:45] <_blitz_> how to get rid of the hard disk icons on my desktop? [18:45] Delvien, nothing that looks out of place in there, think it's actually trying to do something while booting up, can I check a log of my last bootup? === frederic_ is now known as phylocoeur [18:45] Sharpie: i've never done it myself. [18:45] hey guys.. anyone using 7.10 on a thinkpad with a fingerprint reader? [18:45] Anybody had the gutsy installer hang at 'Detecting hardware..' ? [18:45] 64bit. [18:45] jeez =\ [18:45] even windows never crashed on me like that [18:46] Sharpie, what happened? [18:46] ok.. well the gutsy upgrde screwed alot fo stuff up :( [18:46] how can i get exim to force all its package oriented /etc/exim4 files in the config? [18:46] Sharpie: yeah. not pretty. Although i had some major f-ups with windows. [18:46] just...siddenly died [18:46] suddenly* [18:46] _blitz_: change the mount point of the drives (like, create /windows , and edit /etc/fstab to match) [18:46] Sharpie, can you be more descriptive? === Raff7[A_G] is now known as Raff7 [18:46] um, need help: i was downloading in azureus and suddenly it gave a warning that the directory was read-only, so i reset the xserver (alt+ctrl+backspace) and it gave a warning that it couldn't start the GUI or something, so i reset and now ubuntu doesn't work (hangs while booting and then going to like, console mode), any ideas? [18:46] telexicon: we think he ran out of room or something. [18:46] Sharpie, as in.. the gui went away? [18:46] (pasted my first msg) [18:46] shearn89: 7.9gb/30gb is out of room? [18:46] FluxD: the script you ran.. [18:46] slacker_nl: found it finally :o [18:46] The MBR or partition table of my secondary hard drive (not the one I boot on, where my linux system is), is hosed. I know there a billion tools out there that might help me. But they're all on boot-cds and similar. Since it is not my primary hard drive that has problems, it would be much easier if I could just install a program on my ubuntu, that would help me recover the secondary hard disk. Do you any such programs? [18:47] like 7.9 used out of 30 [18:47] is someone have success with inspiron 6400 and realtime audio on a Gutsy (with the RT kernel) [18:47] ? [18:47] FluxD: hehe, ok :) [18:47] Sharpie, believe me, windows has done worse to a whole load of people, in fact in the last two or three days, they killed off at least 10,000 window boxes with automatic updates [18:47] Sharpie: hell, i don't know... some weird shizzle. [18:47] slacker_nl: what were u saying? [18:47] bofh80: hahaha.... [18:47] !bootdisk [18:47] Sorry, I don't know anything about bootdisk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:47] bofh80: i laugh in the face of windows users everywhere! [18:47] id warn you.. dont think that ubuntu is all bad, in my experience it works almost all of the time [18:47] shearn89: i'm using windows cause ubuntu died..so.. =o [18:47] its just that.. this is where everyone comes when they have problems [18:47] shearn89, god yeah. that OS gives me heart problems, vista makes me feel sick, like when i get car sick [18:48] FluxD: well, i was going to say, i'm not gonna help you trying to solve the puzzle [18:48] Sharpie: sorry. I don't mean to laugh at your misfortune.

[18:49] jamiejackson: really? oh yeah... try the man pages. [18:49] i don't ve a bunch of linux machines and a new one that can only boot from floppy :) [18:49] hanasaki: or aptitude purge package ; apatitude install package [18:49] veevi did u suspend last time u "shutdown" [18:49] Sharpie: i'd try my chroot suggestion - go to the forums and search for "chrooting to fix broken gutsy" [18:49] Sharpie: go to console, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ... or look through the xorg.logs and see if there's some useful info as to why X isnt starting [18:50] shearn89: i have been, haven't spotted the solution yet... [18:50] slacker_nl: purge didnt kill /etc/exim4 why not [18:50] bqmassey: the swiss have those amazing pocket knives :-) [18:50] Delvien, no, it's a fresh install, though it was configuring something at first boot, but it was slow at 2nd boot again [18:50] "apt-get install swk" ? [18:50] veevi do this [18:50] I need food... [18:50] jamiejackson, have you tried ls ./s* ? [18:50] "apt-get install sak" [18:50] hanasaki: ahh, because maybe you still want to have those or something, but i agree, sometimes its anoying [18:50] * shearn89 goes to find some sustenance [18:50] veevi edit your grub list, and take out "quiet" from the kernel u boot [18:51] Hi! Does anyone know if the repository ATI proprietary drivers will be upgraded to 8.42.3 or not? The forums seems to be a bit unclear about this matter... I didnt find any Yes or No to this question anyway... [18:51] shearn89, about time, off to the shops too :) [18:51] Delvien, oki, I'll check what it does then, thanks [18:51] slacker_nl: well i deleteed them before the new install and and now some shit is missing in them [18:51] shearn89: same deal [18:51] When I try to make uninnstall I get some note: NOTE: Not all installed files are removed, as different distributions install Run uninstall as many times as necessary until no "removing" messages appear below. What does this mean than I have to run sudo make uninnstall to infinity ?? [18:51] veevi just poste your grub list in !pastebin and ill do it [18:51] !pastebin | Veevi [18:51] Veevi: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[18:52] how do you force a package to reintall and overwrite all the old conf info in /etc? [18:53] thx, been wondering about that one for a long time, actually [18:53] NorthByNorthWest: probably not; but the reason there's no firm answer is there are compelling reasons to break policy and upgrade them. [18:53] hanasaki: mmm, maybe with dpkg -L package, you can find out which files are in use by the app, and remove them after a purge [18:53] Delvien, seem to have found a working fix on the ubuntu forums, boots up super fast now, thank you for your time though [18:53] delvine now i'm sitting at [/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/build/include [18:53] and then install them again.. [18:54] nickrud: what policy is that???? [18:54] veevi np, send me the link, im curious [18:54] hanasaki: dpkg-reconfigure maybe? [18:54] says no files [18:54] slacker_nl: tried it :( [18:54] NorthByNorthWest: after release, only security and critical bugs are fixed, no upgrades just because new versions have been released [18:54] hanasaki: k [18:54] Delvien, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3569987&postcount=4 , it shows my boot screen again, and it lets it boot faster :-) [18:54] Veevi: does your gutsy boot faster now? [18:55] slacker_nl: other ideaS? [18:55] Is there any program tht can tell me what program is running o what port? [18:55] TlM, as fast as feisty did, not sure what is wrong with the initial gutsy settings, but it took ages [18:55] FluxD: netstat -punta [18:56] shearn89: ty [18:56] hanasaki: purge, find / -name \*exim\* and remove these maybe?

I installed ntfs-3g and I was wondering what I have to do in order for it to automount? :p [19:46] jerbear: link? [19:46] sounds like its an older machine. [19:46] it may just dislike something.

[19:50] Vov4ik: Are you a bot or something! [19:50] i have a question, i've spent the night figuring out why i couldn't make a share to win boxes in a LAN, and found out that i could share anything in my /home directory, but nothing from a mounted ntfs partition. So is it even possible to share an ntfs data partition that was maintained by XP, but mounted in Ubuntu through ntfs-3g driver?

[20:04] RickJames, any particular reason you are using the alternate cd? [20:04] b0red, but a lot of people prefer to just get the i386, version [20:04] Have XFV video [20:04] b0red: ubuntu.com... i386 = 32-bit cpu [20:04] b0red, ok, I would get the i386 desktop version. [20:04] because the 7.10 refuses to work for me no matter how many times i burn it [20:04] I've been trying to mount this disk as read write on and off for days, I don't know what I'm missing [20:04] i want the minimum bootable cd [20:05] Is there a post install guide somewhere? [20:05] and it was working on this computer till i removed 7.10 for a fresh install. now it's not working [20:05] How i create a shortcut gnome? [20:05] b0red, I guess that is the alternate cd? whatever it is you want, you probably want i386 [20:05] b0red: you can get the server cd... you'll get the bare minimum with that [20:05] XFX - PV-T70F-UNF7 [20:05] because the 7.10 GUI installer cd *refuses to work for me no matter how many times i burn it [20:05] ok i have a question [20:05] jerbear, intel pentium 4 2.66, 1gb ram kingston ddr, motherboard asus p5gd1-vm [20:05] RickJames: have you tried the text mode install? [20:05] jerbear, more info? [20:06] RickJames, is the problem of loggin into gnome and then i hangs ? saying gnome panel could not start correctly etc? (on the normal 7.10) [20:06] it works usually if i spend hours and hours restarting the whole installation , but i was hoping for easy one time install. [20:06] no this is the actual installation. [20:06] hi [20:06] my laptop cpu (core2duo) supports 64 arch.. is it better to intsall a 64bit ver of debian? or i'd fall later on into non existing program ver for 64 bits etc [20:06] I have LANG=fr_FR.iso885915. if I sort 'a' and 'á', 'a' comes first. if I sort 'aã' and 'áâ', 'áâ' comes first. can someo [20:06] Is there a similar program to katapult for gnome? [20:06] ? [20:06] Vov4ik: i would check #apache... if what you're telling me is correct, there's not going to be much i can do [20:06] does it make any difference that my swapfile is /dev/hdb2? I [20:07] b0red, most people dont really like the 64 bit stuff, its a matter of personal preference [20:07] RickJames, oh wow. sorry, never seen that. sounds like you might have developed a hardware issue. how fast are you the burning the cd? have you tried like burning it at 8x cdspeed not dvd speed obviosly [20:07] bofh80, i boot off cd, choose install, answer questions, partition everything, goes to installing base system, hangs everytime @ 77% gathering information [20:07] comparing a quad-core at 2.33Ghz to one at 3Ghz, would the difference be really noticeable in ubuntu?

[20:07] RickJames, the same thing happens on both the 7.10 normal and alternate ? [20:07] b0red, well, one has software that is made specifically for 64 bit processors, it can be a bit faster [20:07] hmm [20:07] b0red: 64-bit does not automatically mean that it's going to be faster... the main benefit is that you can use more than 4GB of ram [20:08] bofh80, i've not tried the GUI with this machine yet, as i would have to burn one, i'll downlaod now and burn and let you know === Zlatko1 is now known as goran [20:08] how do i install a package that i downloaded?

[20:58] hi cast === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo [20:58] Hey all, I was just wondering, in terms of function and possibly opinion, if my feisty install is working, and I have compiz...given that people have had problems upgrading, is there a real reason I should attempt it/ [20:58] PurpZeY: what kind of vidcard do youy have? [20:58] PurpZeY: if it's an ATI,I'd skip it for now [20:58] ho do I start compiz? [20:58] pjz: Well, two computers in question...desktop nvidia...laptop intel... [20:59] Still wrestling with my wireless card ... i downloaded a native driver, compiled it - everything OK. did an insmod, still everything ok. iwconfig finds an wlan0 - even better. i do some sudo iwconfig ..., then sudo ifup wlan0, receive the message "Error for wireless request "Set Frequency" (8B04) : SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported."

[21:14] Poundo: a terminal :) [21:14] Poundo: Evolution or Thunderbird. If you mean command line, there's sendmail, postfix, exim4 [21:14] Poundo, mail [21:15] no one ever use update-rc.d? [21:15] Poundo, "mail" is a command line mail client [21:15] :) [21:15] Poundo, if you feel extra vicarious you can use sendmail too [21:15] oh ok so I can use it from PHP then? [21:15] Poundo, sendmail then [21:15] how long u has been using ubuntu radio man [21:16] bah la j'ai relancer le serveur X et hop ca rame pas [21:16] About 4-5 months. [21:16] Anybody proficient with wireless networks? Wanna help me with troubleshooting mine? [21:16] le cube marche parfaitement [21:16] I love it. [21:16] Poundo: there's very probably some library/functions to use sendmail on PHP [21:16] Brandon_, man update-rc.d [21:16] i m indian what ab8 u [21:16] dserban: I have sendmail installed but can't get it to work correctly, tough configuration path I'm afraid [21:16] hello [21:16] j'ai enlevé deux trois options du xorg.conf [21:16] i need help [21:16] on va voire ce que ca va donner [21:16] !fr [21:16] I am a irish tater. [21:16] oups [21:16] sorry [21:16] wrong channel;) [21:16] how do i search for a specific version of a program with apt-get? [21:16] DemonJester I did, I must be confused. update-rd.d ircbot throws an error with no parameters or with some [21:17] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [21:17] but maybe someone got the solution [21:17] nice ,can u teach me? [21:17] raman: Seems like your are getting help, but I just wanted you to know, I love what your family has done for the noodle industry [21:17] Poundo, sendmail the commandline thingy... just send an email etc. [21:17] not the mta [21:17] snkmad, apt only usually holds one version of a program in the main repositories. [21:17] don't [21:17] i use ubuntu and i use vi, then i type 'a', when i press up key on keyboard it type new word 'A', then the 'a' is entered to the lower of the lane, how like that ? [21:17] Poundo: this is very dependent on your location. Some(most) ISP or organizations don't let computers send mails except via thir servers. You then have to configure sendmail (or postfix, or exim4) with a "smarthost" [21:17] I would rather not..some things I know..but over all I would not want to wrongfully direct you.. [21:17] I use fglrx with my radeon 9600 / ubuntu 7.10, when i start xorg glxgears give me13749 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2729.409 FPS [21:17] snkmad: sometimes theres exceptions, like gcc there are also gcc2 gcc3 etc packages [21:18] snkmad: linux-headers=2.1.blabla [21:18] DemonJester, I just wanted to know how to set up ircbot to run on level 21 in run level 21 without going in and doing it manually which doesn't seem to be working [21:18] oh [21:18] my cdrom is being mounted wrong [21:18] but after few time it begins to be verry slow [21:18] and i cant mount my other 250GB HD [21:18] DemonJester, run level 5* [21:18] cant see it even [21:18] wanted to know if the latest version of wine 0.9.48 for amd64 is on repos already? [21:18] any ideas? [21:18] Anyone know how to install bin/sh ? [21:18] dserban: et al I am processing all this info. First there is a commandline version of sendmail? [21:18] It's a dependency required for me to install alsaconf [21:18] anubis_, you should already have sh [21:18] DemonJester, any ideas? [21:19] Poundo: sendmail [21:19] nice hunch [21:19] I disabled gdb because i don't need it and I execute a startx command from tty1, however startx does not use my xorg.conf monitor setting. Any advice over whats happening? [21:19] hey there :) [21:19] guys I just went to the ubuntuguide.org website, andI searched for how to download and install KDE on my desktop but it wasn't there [21:19] they r really in that [21:19] how Can I install KDE on my Gutsy Gibbon [21:19] error: Failed dependencies: [21:19] /bin/sh is needed by alsaconf-0.4.3b-1.noarch [21:19] Rubin ok then can i check what version is on the repos with apt-get?

[21:22] Rubin: yes it thought it should to [21:22] kl4m: its ok ConstyXIV_ is helping ;-) [21:22] bslote: python2.4-minimal, not just python [21:22] otherwise I will have to download nvidiaś drivers and use them instead of using the restricted drivers' manager version [21:22] when you set up the alternate cd install, and selcet OEM manufactor install, it asks for a password, but not a user name. what is the user name ? [21:22] Brandon_, as long as the init script is in /etc/init.d/ and a link is in /etc/rc5.d/ [21:22] bslote, sudo apt-get install python2.4-minimal --reinstall [21:22] RickJames: oem [21:22] but it does not take the correct resolution and displaysize [21:22] thx flannel [21:22] ConstyXIV_: do you know how to sync a phone? can you help? want to see the guide? [21:22] Is there a "minimal install" option anymore? [21:23] I wonder if there is a way to make apt reinstall a package and all dependencies [21:23] RickJames: then once you prep it for sale, it'll re-ask for an original user, with the tz and locale and stuff. [21:23] Rubin, kl4m: thanks [21:23] Taza: Alternate CD, yes. [21:23] Flannel: About how large is it?

[21:26] can someone tell me the proper use of the "ln" command? [21:26] anyone know how to setup virtual printer pdf -file? [21:26] Taza: There is a minimal install on the alternate CD, it might be called the server install (it used to be). Alternatively, you could get the server CD, but its got less HW support out of the box, and you'll want to switch away from the server kernel after install as well [21:26] JeevesMoss: ln --help [21:26] <[chr0n0s]> JeevesMoss, use man ln [21:26] can anyone help me get syncML running with multisync? [21:26] JeevesMoss: or 'man ln' [21:26] hey guys using apt-get how do i install xen? [21:26] well, i'm at 97% cleaning up, sometimes fails here, lets see what it does [21:26] JeevesMoss, its just like cp command, only the target becomes a link instead of a copy [21:26] wow, thanks. not like I havn't tried those before comming here. [21:26] torrente, use cups [21:26] torrente: apt-get install cups-pdf [21:26] Flannel: I've got 40% of the alt install CD downloaded. [21:27] torrente: then, follow the line :) [21:27] XB23: apt-cache search xen ; then look at what it outputs and decide which bits you need [21:27] Taza: I'd just go with that [21:27] Flannel: Bandwidth isn't a problem for the weekend (unlike for the rest of the time), hard drive space is. [21:27] JeevesMoss, what are you trying to do? [21:27] Im trying to find an ip changer thingy> how do i change my ip address? [21:27] olem , iusecups-pdf but when i print to a file there is not pdf file [21:27] Flannel: I don't want something like Gnome or KDE or Xfce-desktop whoring the hdd space. [21:27] Taza: alt CD has a repository on it a well, got some extra stuff you might find useful once you're installed as wel. [21:27] how can i update the apt [21:27] Anybody proficient with wireless networks? Wanna help me with troubleshooting mine? [21:27] to the latest things [21:27] hey i have an ati x1600 that wont boot. How to fix? [21:27] Rubin: augh. 6 months to get hat in? ick. [21:28] Flannel: I can download less than 10mb files just fine anytime, and some 10gb on the weekends. [21:28] <[chr0n0s]> ir4d0m, use ifconfig or ethtool, you need to read man pages, i don't remember the arguments [21:28] pjz: or you can run the devel version... [21:28] How do i restore a deleted folder from the trash to its original location? [21:28] olem_: i am in gutsy ,in feisty there is not problem with it [21:28] Rubin: well. I have an install of DtoProject in /home/www_root/dotproject/ and I want my 4 differen't vhosted sites to use the same install so I can save some space. Every time I try the LN command, it makes a dupe directory (ie/ /dotproject/dotproject/ I want to make it behave like /dotproject/ [21:28] okeefenokee: I'll give it a stab. . .No guarantees. [21:28] does anyone know where I can get the t.fnt.gz console font and how to get ubuntu to use it for the default console font? [21:28] Taza: You'll probably want to look into AptOnCD then, it'll allow you to build additional repository CDs (including updates) for use anytime [21:28] DemonJester, do you know when making the start function in a runscript what is the pidfile for? [21:28] purpzey: of course not - any help is much appreciated [21:28] okeefenokee: Is it at all ubuntu relateD? [21:29] purpzey: the lot [21:29] JeevesMoss, ln -s /home/www_root/dotproject /path/to/site [21:29] Flannel: Not a problem, I can just do it on the weekends. I just need everything large installed by Sunday. [21:29] hey does anyone know how to get an ati x1600 to load Xwindows in Gutsy? [21:29] okeefenokee: Ok, lay it on me and we'll see if it's not beyond my scope [21:29] torrente: well... I've just dist-upgraded to gusty... I'm gonna see if cups-pdf has issue (it did not in feisty). [21:29] purpzey: i run my system in command line mode - no gui [21:29] Rubin: ok, I think that's the one I tried [21:29] okeefenokee: Ok, that is not usual for me, but I should be able to keep up. [21:29] Flannel: Bandwidth isn't a problem right now - I just need to delay stuff like dist-upgrade to weekends. The problem is the hdd space. [21:29] how do i install an icon theme? [21:29] newbie here...installed 7.10 and only 1 of my external 3 usb hdds recognised...works ok in vista..any ideas? [21:29] okeefenokee: What is the problem.... [21:29] ===--=== I need to watch a podcast over a video, if there any way in vlc or otherwise to play another sound clip over the video? [21:29] JeevesMoss, keep workin on it, you'll figure it out ;) [21:29] ALSA won't let 2 programs play sounds at the same time. [21:30] purpzey: i downloaded the native driver for my card, compiled it, and insmod:ed it [21:30] how do i change this [21:30] Brandon_, it is the process ID of the runscript [21:30] purpzey: now i try to set the thingey up with iwconfig, but i just don't get any contact [21:30] Wow. [21:30] "LowEndSystemSupport" is exceptionally sucky on the wiki [21:30] okeefenokee: Is lspci recognizing your card? [21:30] cello_rasp, use a sound server, such as esound [21:30] Is anyone willing to help me troubleshoot Nexuiz/Open Arena issues? My graphics in both seem to be messed up with major color distortion -- but counter-strike and countless other games run flawlessly under WINE. [21:30] anyone on how to install an icon pack? [21:30] Rubin: lol, this is fun. Because I don't have access (from my FTP) to the directory where it's installed, I can't open it in my FTP program [21:30] That's like a list of things you should NOT do on low-end systems. Heck, Xfce? [21:31] i dont see it in preferences [21:31] purpzey: yep, and iwconfig lists a wlan0-connection as well [21:31] What is the best way way to have a system always available via VNC? (even if user is logged out)? [21:31] Can anybody help me with my audio? I'm on a Toshiba A135-S4527 with Realtek sound. I've followed some stuff online, but no luck [21:31] were do i get beryl for ubuntu 7.10 64 bit? [21:31] sethness: good luck, I'm STILL waiting to get the sound working on my Toshiba [21:31] Vinchen, Compiz-Fusion is the new Beryl and comes with it [21:31] VINCHENZO28, try compiz-fusion [21:31] ir4d0m The best way is to use a proxy server. You can create a secure tunnel to access the internet though and everything looks like it is coming from another locaiton. The best I've found so far is www.findnot.com [21:31] okeefenokee: So, the card isn't seeing your network, or you're not getting an IP? [21:31] were can i tweak compiz?\ [21:32] Can anyone tell me if Evolution actually comes with a system tray notifier or do I have to install it to make the plugin work. [21:32] System>Prefs>Advanced Graphics [21:32] purpzey: well, i don't really know which it is. How can I tell? [21:32] How do i restore a deleted folder from the trash to its original location? [21:32] thanks [21:32] er, Advanced Desktop [21:32] Urthmover, if you dont care if its the _SAME_ session as if there is a local user, you can run vncserver.. it creates a hidden virtual desktop, only visible via vnc [21:32] Taza: I am a fan of the e17+ubuntu combination on low-end computers. Low-end for me is PIII 800+ with 256MB RAM. [21:32] Hello, is there a way I can add the Fiesty repositories to Gutsy. Vmware player hasnt been added to the 7.10 apparently? [21:32] okeefenokee: I am not sure of the exact package name...But I'd try installed kismet, see if kismet will pick up Networks...which will assure you the card is working...I mean, if you know the card is working then kismet is for sure the next step [21:33] sethness i dont have that feature [21:33] minimec: "low-end" for me is 233mhz Pentium II with 64mb of RAM [21:33] In Ubuntu 7.10? [21:33] i just updated from 7.04? [21:33] acabre: you can just add the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list but be careful there, your treading on know-what-your-doing water messing with repos ;) [21:33] Advanced Desktop Effects Settings? [21:33] minimec: I figure this "low-end" was 1.6ghz P4 with 512mb of ram and a 20gb hdd¨ [21:33] hvgotcodes, you could just drag n drop the zip but i reckon read this [21:33] minimec: Addition: 2gb hdd [21:33] nothin advanced their [21:33] hvgotcodes, http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ [21:33] drag and drop where? [21:34] purpzey: ok, kismet is a diagnostic tool obviously? [21:34] can i change transparency of a window? [21:34] Oh, I forgot, you might have to turn on a restricted driver if you have a video card [21:34] ok found the console font does anyone know how to change the console font in ubuntu? [21:34] ahh [21:34] can i change transparency of a window? i use ubuntu 7.10 with compiz thingy [21:34] okeefenokee: It's basically a network sniffer...You have to run it using sudo...but it will just tell you if there are networks around...it's a cli program [21:34] You also need to download compiz-config settings from Synaptic [21:34] Taza: Well... You could still use your machine as a server, but I guess 64MB RAM is not sufficiant for an decent X-Desktop. [21:34] guys can anyone help me access 2 external usb 2 drives...can only see 1 of 3 connected? ta [21:34] says its in use [21:34] <[chr0n0s]> smallfoot-, try cccsm [21:35] <[chr0n0s]> smallfoot-, try ccsm [21:35] minimec: A P2 with 233mhz CPU and 64mb of RAM and 2gb of HDD can do desktop fine even with Bloatbuntu [21:35] purpzey: so if my network card works (and is configured correctly) it will recognize it [21:35] is their a name i can enter into terminal? [21:35] [chr0n0s], thats the Advanced Desktop Effects Manager? [21:35] i'm being played by my big bro [21:35] in 2003ish [21:35] You probably need to download that package from synaptic [21:35] hi [21:35] minimec: It actually requires some knowledge of linux however, something Ubuntu users seem to be sorely lacking in. [21:35] <[chr0n0s]> smallfoot-, yes, you can set transparency there [21:35] 2001 actually [21:35] [chr0n0s], how? [21:35] Taza: ;) [21:36] okeefenokee: Yeah...I mean, iwconfig should tell you if the card is working... [21:36] is it hard to compile wine from source? new version just out, and wanna test steam games on it [21:36] definatly after 2000 [21:36] is there a way to do a network install of 7.10. I need only a linux/inird.gz files (kernel/ramdisk image) and I want to start the netinst that way [21:36] I can't find these two files anywhere [21:36] snkmad: the official wine repos should have it [21:36] could someone please help me out [21:36] minimec: The main thing is picking stuff with few required libraries and depedencies and using something light like fluxbox, ion3 or icewm as your wm. [21:36] is there a way to change the font colors that the ones writing to me have on pidgin? i have a dark theme and the original text color is black :/ [21:36] Flannel how do i check? sorry installed ubuntu just this week [21:37] minimec: And in NO case installing stuff suggested in the wiki article. That stuff comes with a TON of libraries, which WILL slow your computer down to no end., [21:37] purpzey: yep, iwconfig gives me a lot of la-dee-daa about wlan0 (which obv is my wlan-card). I can also set all kinds of things - essid, ap, and so on. But, the connection is never made :( [21:37] anyone know where i can open the compiz-fusion program to edit in 7.10 (i want to tweak it nicer) === ingrid is now known as Imladris [21:37] how come my gutsy install has no eth0, but has a eth2? [21:37] Taza: I see that they are on Flucbox 1.0 now. I will give it another try... [21:37] I can't figure out for the life of me how to get a program to start via daemons. I make the script in /etc/init.d and make it +x then I make a symbolic link in /etc/rc5.d and rename it with S21 at the beginning. Does that sound right? [21:37] sorry Rubin.....so how do I get it to be part of bootup? and allow sessions even if someone isn't logged in locally? [21:37] <[chr0n0s]> smallfoot-, it's in one of the options..not use which,, you have to look [21:37] What would cause my ubuntu-server that I upgraded from 6.10 -> 7.04 -> 7.10, that openssh key usage never has worked? What do I need to do to actually GET it to work? [21:37] snkmad: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine has instructions, the second bit abotu using the WineHQ repos [21:37] torrente: with gutsy, cups-pdf is installed by default [21:37] VINCHENZO28: ccsm [21:37] minimec: Fluxbox works fine (more than fine) once you get used to it's UI. It's not really difficult though. [21:37] VINCHENZO28: you have to have compiz-settings-manager installed [21:37] minimec: Most importantly, it's really light these days [21:37] torrente: and configured to write your docs(pdf) to $HOME/PDF === ARitualSacrifice is now known as DarkHack [21:38] were is that [21:38] minimec: I LOVE fluxbox. Only thing I use [21:38] Flannel thx [21:38] Hi everyone one [21:38] Taza: I used Fluxbox for about 2 years before I discovered E17 [21:38] hvgotcodes, sorted? [21:38] Got a little problem with su and screen [21:38] olem_: but i see ps documents no pdf [21:38] hello folks, I recently installed Gutsy Gibbon but my secondary HDD (Windows) wasnt enabled during the install. What can I do now to get a Windows boot from GRUB? Anyone? =) [21:38] flux is the best thig ever [21:38] is there a way to disable 70-persistent-net.rules ? [21:38] VINCHENZO28: the package is called compizconfig-settings-manager [21:38] minimec: The looks/weight ratio of fluxbox is the best of the wm's out there - you can get better looking wm's and pay dearly in resources, or get faster wm's and pay in looks. [21:38] okeefenokee: Ok, well, I am not entirely sure about from cli...but you may need to autoconfig.....I'm not positive...that's why I'd check kismet [21:38] 7.10 sucks [21:38] Flannel even wine repos still not updated === DarkHack is now known as ARitualSacrifice [21:39] !fluxbox [21:39] Fluxbox + Conky = all the eyecandy I ever want [21:39] okeefenokee: If you are sure that works, then, just manual configure [21:39] fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [21:39] VINCHENZO28: you can install it via synaptic [21:39] now it's froze on installing brub [21:39] Rug: Fluxbox is a nice WM, I agree with you, but now I prefer e17 [21:39] RickJames: why? [21:39] VINCHENZO28: it's not installed by default you need to install it yourself [21:39] When I run a su myuser, then a detacched screen and logout, I can't do a screen -r : Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check. [21:39] RickJames: No, no it doesn't. [21:39] anyone know where a windows xp torrent is ? [21:39] olem_: what is the printer's name ? [21:39] Brandon_, try here http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28 [21:39] torrente: my printer name is "PDF" [21:39] i've been trying for 2 hours to reinstall7.10 on a machine [21:39] Can anybody help me with my previously asked audio problem? [21:39] RickJames: Windows XP? Hahahaha. Troll. [21:39] !piracy [21:39] piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [21:39] Psi-Jack: Troll. [21:39] and it refuses [21:39] RickJames: Try a REAL operating system. Go to #debian [21:40] RickJames [21:40] torrente: you wanna see my /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf file? [21:40] if you're in ubuntu [21:40] purpzey: Ok, let's see... [21:40] loel [21:40] try WINE [21:40] RickJames: I'm looking at Ubuntu ONLY because it has better packages for my system. [21:40] hi people [21:40] sure and i need a desktop not a server [21:40] Anyway. [21:40] hii all [21:40] Because I can't compile them myself on my hardware. Same reason I can't install Gentoo. [21:40] I have a USB drive but I can't write to the **** thing; owned by root; I tried changing the permissions as root, but they don't seem to stick. Ideas anybody? [21:40] i need help pls [21:40] <-- using ubuntu and loving it [21:40] olem_: could you pastebin this file? [21:40] RickJames: ill let you in on a secret..most people in ubuntu are actually running frebsd [21:40] but this stupid HP refuses to reload 7.10 [21:40] RickJames: Debian works fine on desktop. In fact, Ubuntu is based on Debian. [21:40] is there a way to disable rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules so that it stops doing that. [21:40] RickJames: what's happening? [21:41] hey ubuntu is better because it just works (usually) [21:41] i have 6 machines at home with ubuntu, i'm only complaining about one [21:41] Urthmover: Bwaha. I've NEVER seen Debian work worse than Ubuntu. [21:41] torrente: ddc send? [21:41] :-) [21:41] DemonJester, that's not very useful as I need to insert the script just at level 5 in S21 [21:41] olem_: pastebin.com [21:41] l33txor: yeah its under themes, go to customize and then the icons tab. [21:41] Urthmover: As I said, I'm here only because Ubuntu has better support for some specialized packages I need. [21:41] ubuntu is better than windows 95 OSR2 [21:42] DemonJester, I'm allowed to do that manually right? [21:42] cyphase, i use the alt cd instaler and it gets to the 77% gathering info for installation, and hangs [21:42] can anyone help? is there any way to rescan usb connections - i can only see 1 of 3 drives [21:42] After upgrading from 7.04FF to 7.10GG, i've had a world of problems. thinking it was a mistake altogether. [21:42] anybody know anything about fvwm-crystal? specifically, an easy way to add programs to menu's? [21:42] Urthmover: I'd use Windows 2000, XP or heck ANY windows over default Ubuntu [21:42] Ubuntu has SCHWINGG [21:42] cyphase, then, i use t he OEM install and it hangs on installing grub [21:42] hmm [21:42] ubuntu is generally preffered if you need more community support its not really superior to debian but has a great community and a few better gui tools for dealing with nonfree stuff [21:42] acdcZZTOP: it's been a joy for me--is your hardware not supported or something? [21:42] * cyphase had no problems with Gutsy [21:42] <[chr0n0s]> Taza, try vista over ubuntu [21:42] cyphase, i have a hp 3.5 ghz w/ 256 sys ram and an nvidia 125 geforce, and it won't load the GUI installer [21:42] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42287/ [21:42] I have a USB drive but I can't write to the **** thing; owned by root; I tried changing the permissions as root, but they don't seem to stick. Ideas anybody? [21:42] FINALLY! I got my ssh key to work on my ubuntu-server. heh. Dang thing wouldn't even READ the .ssh/authorized_keys unless the home dir was chmod g-w [21:43] i use ubuntu 7.04 feisty fawn, and i am trying using vi, when i type 'test', then i press up key on my keyboard... it would type 'A' and the 'test' is entered to lower new lane, how can that happend ? when i press down key it type 'B', i press left 'D', i press right 'C' [21:43] Guys, i installed the drivers on ati.com [21:43] debian does all the heavy lifting though [21:43] h [21:43] Well i have 2 pieces of hardware im trynig to use it on [21:43] help plss [21:43] Brandon_, try update-rc.d ircbot start 21 5 . stop 21 0 1 6 . [21:43] Urthmover: I'm installing the very minimal install and then building it up to my preferences - much like I'd do with Debian if I wouldn't have to recompile the kernel for some modules which I can't do. [21:43] desktop and laptop [21:43] but they dont get detected or something [21:43] Or, at least: drwxr-xr-x [21:43] purpzey: OK, tried to fire kismet up, got the message "FATAL: Please configure at least one packet source. Kismet will not function if no packet sources are defined in kismet.conf or on the command line. Please read the README for more information about configuring Kismet." Got any quick solution for this or should I read the README? ;) [21:43] torrente: http://pastebin.com/mecec189 [21:43] RickJames: i don't know what to tell you.. i've installed it on 3 different computers, and it worked fine each time (with the exception of having to use ndiswrapper for wifi) [21:43] okeefenokee: Did you run it as sudo? [21:43] Why does Ubuntu install a SMP kernel on my UP system? [21:43] the desktop, the display is very bad. the images bleed red to the right, and its very hard on my eyes, and i cant use my 85hz refresh rate [21:43] berkan, sorry to hear that [21:43] oh don't be a pu$$y Taza go rebuild a kernel [21:43] and on my laptop, the wireless wont work [21:43] purpzey: aye [21:43] oops wrong place [21:43] ive tried using the ndiswrapper and wicd [21:43] nothin [21:43] go write some drivers [21:43] Urthmover: I can't rebuild the kernel on my hardware. [21:43] slaytanic: It's default. I don't recall seeing a UP-compiled kernel. [21:43] it fun [21:43] Urthmover: Otherwise I would. [21:44] :-) [21:44] is anyone experienced willing/able to walk me through the installation of the newest ATI driver (8.42.3)? I've never done the installation myself and don't want to screw it up. [21:44] okeefenokee: Check the readme to get the right syntax, but I think you just need to set to wlan0 etc...in a config file [21:44] Brandon_, make sure the name of your script in /etc/init.d is ircbot then run the update-rc.d command listed above it will automatically create the links for you [21:44] I learned how to grep the other day [21:44] lol [21:44] c0Ld: Use the Restricted Drivers manager. It'll do it for you. [21:44] What happens if I put an AMD64 CD in an x86 machine? [21:44] and threw in some df for good measure [21:44] Psi-Jack: So there's just a generic SMP kernel, it's not that the installer fsck'ed up or anything, right? [21:44] Urthmover: The hardware I'm working is VERY restricted HDD-wise and requires support for encrypted drives. [21:44] a dash of iptraf and I was surfin the net [21:44] slaytanic: Right. === olem_ is now known as olem [21:44] Psi-Jack: Cool. Thankies. [21:44] DemonJester, yeah it's there It has a start function. It should have one of those right? [21:45] slaytanic: SMP kernels work fine with UP systems. Really has no benefits or debenefits for that. [21:45] Psi-Jack: It will upgrade me to the version just recently released? I don't see any such option =| [21:45] torrente: ok? [21:45] I was working on a mod for irssi #intomybrain_bluetooth [21:45] anyone ? [21:45] Can anyone tell me if Evolution actually comes with a system tray notifier or do I have to install it to make the plugin work. [21:45] I can't get the interface drives to go organic on me tho [21:45] Brandon_, yes are you getting an error when running update-rc.d? [21:45] no [21:45] evolutionize: I dont think so but u cn using alltray [21:45] evolutionize: I don't know, but I'd imagine there is some documenation on that [21:45] I just restered [21:46] everything melts in the eustacian tube [21:46] DemonJester, it would seem the script isn't running I guess [21:46] guys can anyone help me access 2 external usb 2 drives...can only see 1 of 3 connected? ta [21:46] olem_: i am seeing [21:46] SWEEET!

[22:46] mc44: figures, then begins the two hour process of reverting to the old ones [22:46] coolrazor007, its here http://www.realvnc.com/pipermail/vnc-list/2001-April/021766.html [22:46] ; /me waves! [22:46] Anyone???- Can I- install ubuntu with opensuse, not destory opensuse, have 1 bootloader? [22:46] sioux, have you tried uninstalling it and re installing it? [22:46] Luigi no [22:46] c0Ld: this is the first driver to support it [22:46] salah: Your wifi-problem sounds strange to me. It could be a problem of the network-manager. Maybe this could be a solution for you ... http://ralph.n3rds.net/index.php?/archives/194-Replace-network-manager-by-WICD.html [22:47] Luigi: yeah wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update [22:47] !webmin [22:47] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system [22:47] FusionMan: of course [22:47] Luigi: then sudo apt-get update again will fix [22:47] coolrazor007, If you click on the VNC Icon in the upper-left corner of the viewer [22:47] window/title bar, it shows a menu that includes an entry for sending the [22:47] Crtl-Alt-Del keystroke.

[22:47] mc44: Option "Composite" "0" [22:47] feisty was ok [22:47] pike_ : -q isn't an option apparently. [22:47] mc44: set it to 1? [22:47] bqmassey: just the boot loader [22:47] c0Ld: change 0 to Enable [22:47] FusionMan: yes [22:48] Somebody knows how to make the file transfer work for googletalk? [22:48] AYBABTU: yeah, that's for the realvnc package, but I'm using the default client installed in Gnome [22:48] Hi guys, I am having a problem with my mouse cursor.

Bye all! [22:49] Jimb: thanks, i'll look it up [22:49] Sioux, this seems to be a common problem. [22:49] someone heres must know---- Can I- install ubuntu with opensuse, not destory opensuse, have 1 bootloader? [22:49] Yw [22:49] bqmassey: not really the right chan for windows question but you can change drive letters by right clicking on my computer and selecting disk manager or manage then go into disk manager [22:50] FusionMan: when I start rhythmbox I get that error.. first songs is played ok but at the next it crash [22:50] bqmassey: /j #ubuntu-offtopic if you have a question about it [22:50] true pike but not for system partition [22:50] sioux, was it open during install?

[22:55] fantum13: er, if you installed both, possibly [22:55] what I want to do, is write a script to somehow open 3 terminal windows, positioned exactly as I say on the screen, with specified sizes [22:55] Ubuntu does not support the card. I've searched the net fopr information how to solve this and I've innstalled ndiswrapper [22:55] shiela: same on all X's, ctrl-alt-backspace [22:55] fantum13: thanks [22:55] KaiForce: vmnet0 is the bridged one [22:55] smallfoot-, you can report a bug - get an account on launchpad.net [22:55] i can't get to any of my vmhosts but I believe the nic configuration was part of the install process [22:55] KaiForce: So I'm using vmmnet0 [22:55] this compiz fusion is fucking amazing [22:55] oh ok [22:55] ok [22:56] ompaul, thanks [22:56] mc44: I've tried to remove the nvidia-glx and even linux-restricted-blah blah blah repeated times, but neither works. [22:56] xious, they changed resolution to this new software. I don't know how it works. [22:56] pike- thanks alot, ill prob go update now----wait one more thing, when it sets it up for boot, it will delete the other boot manager or will it combine them??

[23:08] delta16: what did cdrecord give you (if anything) [23:08] pike_ ok ive got limewire on windows but thought id try frostwire. only came across it today looking through ubuntu forums [23:08] delta16: Did you do what I told you? [23:08] hello there, looks like I had a pb with an external HDD connected through USB and the next time I turned it on, it told me it couldn't mount the partition where I have all my data stored. I run e2fsck on it and answered yes to all questions asked for repair/delete/restore/etc. [23:09] m4ytt: sometimes youll have a problem with lime sometimes frost.. its a crapshoot really :) [23:09] ubotu: only ubiquity [23:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about only ubiquity - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:09] after e2fsck finished, turned the disk off and then back on... to find out that my data dir is NOT there anymore, and I have 150GB used, though no dirs on the partition, except a recreated lost+found [23:09] napster: Ubiquity is the liveCD (Desktop) instller. If you have problems with that, the alternate CD has an installer that works in more places. [23:10] napster: do you mean the only-ubiquity boot option for the liveCD? [23:10] any ideas on how to recover those dirs? (I know data IS there, but it's not accessible right now) how do I recreate the journal for the ext3 fs now 'downgraded' to ext2 after the check? [23:10] mc44: I think it broke again :( [23:10] cdrecord gives also info about the memory , but not the cellphone itself [23:10] yo how do i get fsfn to start on boot? [23:10] Flannel: yes. i was readin bout it but couldn't really find an answer [23:10] mc44: fglrxinfo is showing "Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0"" and "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual!" [23:10] i know i cna start the thing with "sudo fsfn" but how do i get it to... start automatically [23:11] c0Ld: what did you do? [23:11] napster: Specify 'only-ubiquity' as a boot option, that would be the CD menu, I believe [23:11] anyone help? [23:12] sorry. im a real noob. how do i do that? [23:12] mc44: I uh, -think- I successfully went back to the old driver (compiz is working), but I'm not sure if it was all that successful? Everything's running fine, but that command just isn't working. [23:12] Flannel: sorry. im a real noob. how do i do that? [23:12] Flannel: F6 [23:12] oops that was meant fo rnapster [23:13] c0Ld: er, dunno then :/ [23:13] s/rnapster/napster [23:13] linuxweb: hit F6 and then just type only-ubiquity [23:13] ? [23:13] pike_ is it only on linux that you get these problems because i never had any problems with limewire on widnowz [23:13] <[chr0n0s]> can anyone help me with this ? --> http://pastebin.ca/750931 [23:13] napster: you will see a long list of text. just add the boot option you want to the end of that line [23:13] AYBABTU [23:13] mc44: Actually, that's weird as hell, compiz is working WITHOUT xgl enabled apparently, but it's running .. smooth, better then the new driver ran? o_O [23:13] how come there is a freetds-dev pkg, but no freetds package? lame. [23:14] damn he left [23:14] Can someone give me the magic command to get sound when running apps in firefox, i've tried nine million different google suggestions and i'm getting frustrated. [23:14] c0Ld: er, thats not possible :/ [23:14] is there a linux prog that will make mds into iso [23:14] thnx. let me give it a try/ [23:14] c0Ld: you must still be on the new driver [23:14] m4ytt: i just find java apps like frost and azureus to be a bit buggy but i rarely use em much. [23:14] if i use synaptic to uninstall XGL will it still try and start it at each boot [23:14] pike_, agreed [23:15] Is there something I need to do to get my CPU to scale to a lower frequency? [23:15] osmosis: why would there be a freetds package? === jacobmp92 is now known as jacob [23:15] mc44: Must be, but it's actually running very well with extra effect enabled, it wasn't before I tried to uninstall it, I think I broke it in a good way =| [23:15] osmosis: the source package (called freetds) clearly only generates the freetds-dev, tdsodbc, libsybdb5, and libct3 binary packages. [23:15] hi, i just installed ati's brand new graphics driver in order to enable aiglx support for my x1400m card. i removed all the ubuntu fglrx packages, xserver-xgl, and installed the new driver. everything looks ok now (3d support is ok), but i can't enable the desktop effects [23:15] jkimball4: After a lcean gutsy install it worked with my laptop out of the box.

[23:16] Slike: might have more luck in #compiz-effects [23:16] minimec: I was under the impressions that it would scale much lower than it previously had. [23:16] pike_: k, thx for redirecting me :) [23:16] jkimball4: I have a 1.5 centrino and I can go until 600 [23:16] Slike: er.. #compiz-fusion [23:16] Slike: Did you unblacklist your card, I remember seeing something in the proprietary driver steps to do that [23:16] Mr_Unagi: what is a mds file? [23:16] Pici: how do I unblacklist it? [23:16] looks like all my data is in /lost+foudn... geez [23:16] minimec: Interesting, my centrino only goes to 1ghx [23:16] type of dvd image [23:16] Slike: I dont know off the top of my head, sorry [23:17] wildman: you didnt trust ext. shoulda had more faith ;p [23:17] mc44: I just ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:17] crimsun_: but there clearly is not 'freetds' pkg. only a 'freetds-dev' package. [23:17] mc44: Didn't do anything else. [23:17] Please someone throw me an URL or a HOWTO: my issue is that i have sound when i'm playing rythmbox but no sound anywhere else. I've checked forums but nothing is working so far. I just asking here in hopes theres a cureall technique.

[23:23] how can i install abyss [23:23] Flannel: VLC, Totem, MPlayer.. all of them [23:23] Mr_Unagi: i was just wondering which would work best for me out of ext3, fat32 etc. [23:23] ext3 is more stable and more efficient than fat32 [23:23] kidicarus: Ah, very interesting indeed.

[23:33] Fish: i've been around since dapper so i couldn't really tell you [23:33] minimec: is there any way to get my video codecs back to default.. i tried removing/adding them again.. but that didn't work. because after i tooled around with the gstreamer-properties i got color with Xvid in Totem but no other player, and my DVDs are still b&w [23:33] trying to get wine on my 7.10 OS. I have installed the repository fo rit, but wine I do a search for wine in add and remove it doesn't show. help. [23:33] minimec thanks. will reboot and try [23:33] sharpie: a sophisticated pervert [23:33] damn, I knew it =[ [23:33] noobie: have you updated your list with "sudo apt-get update"? [23:33] Fish: breezy was like a year or two ago i thought hoary breezy dapper edgy feisty [23:33] gutsy [23:33] Oh, I still have a Linux partition and a Windows partition, can I reinstall Linux without messing with Windows? [23:33] Fish: fyi, breezy came out 2 years ago. [23:33] noobie: use synaptic package manager. Add/remove only has a small subset of all available things [23:33] Fish: yep [23:33] Okay, sorry, I had Feist [23:34] fantum13: probably not 8) [23:34] Fish: oh! yeah that's not been so long :-p [23:34] kidicarus: So you have to set your other players to Xvid. totem is the only one tat uses the settings of gstreamer-properties. [23:34] noobie: that's what you have to do after installing a repository so that it gets what's in it into your cache [23:34] cello_rasp, What should I do to not harm my Windows partition? [23:34] Fish: but yeah you should be able to reinstall without screwing with windows, just make sure you overwrite your old ubuntu partition and not the windows partition [23:34] Okay. [23:34] Logging off to install. [23:34] Fish: although it should be pretty easy to tell which is which [23:34] Fish: when setting up partitions, set the windows partition to 'do not use this partitition' [23:34] Next time I join this channel I'll have ubuntu running! [23:35] Bye. [23:35] Fish: the ubuntu partition will probably be ext3 and the windows should be ntfs or fat32 [23:35] minimec: ooh, i see. the only bad thing about that was i'm not impressed nearly as much with the picture quality in totem as i am with, say, VLC [23:35] Fish: gl [23:35] the GUI installer shoudl be intuitive enough to go it [23:35] anyone here use git? [23:35] minimec: so i should be able to set vlc to xvid? [23:35] how do i install itunes through wine [23:35] Ademan: fat32 is a bad idea [23:35] kidicarus: Maybe you should check your xorg.conf too... [23:35] ubotu : my card isn't listed [23:35] fat32 just sucks. Feisty has NTFS read/write [23:35] Alp`: yeah, but i'm just trying to help him identify the windows partition, if it's an older version of windows it certainly could be fat32 [23:36] minimec: not sure what that means totally [23:36] Ademan: ok sorry [23:36] kidicarus: I hardly use vlc. Try to have a look in the properties of vlc [23:36] hehe [23:36] Windows 98?? [23:36] bleh, i like more intelligent bots.

[23:50] come on guys, lets keep it clean [23:50] Zippy2: thanky [23:51] keith__: Do a sudo update-desktop-database to update the menu items after changing them, sometimes it helps. Other than that, you can also edit them directly in /usr/share/applications/*.desktop [23:51] Innomen: i use dlink mostly. i have a netgear wireless router [23:51] Innomen: since you installed with alt cd im wondering if you have installed sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) [23:51] dlink is #2 in usa for home wifi [23:51] hmm... This is less than satisfactory :/ I tried to set up a second monitor, and somehow, the right monitors settings got applied also to my lcd on my notebook. but now ubuntu can't remember or detect my notebooks lcd monitor type [23:51] pike: no idea let me run that [23:51] which is irritating, because it got it right the first time [23:52] how come ubuntu server isn't making a device for my mouse?

[23:53] acdcZZTOP: please use the official wiki guides. [23:53] theTrav, I've read on this channel yesterday, or on Wed, that someone else was complaining about X config being 'reworked' in the background dropping all your manual changes.... [23:53] acdcZZTOP: What card do you have? [23:53] theTrav, cannot remember the outcome though [23:53] Zarigis: maybe a sudo dpkg-reconfigure packagename not sure though [23:53] hi, I tried installing ubuntu 6.06. During the install, I asked it to manually configure partitions. I resized one partition and created a new swap partition. I didn't finish the installation process, but when I rebooted the computer, none of the other linuxes would boot. (from the lilo).

[23:54] Can anyone point me to a reference on how to upgrade my distro from 6 to 7? [23:54] Hi there.
