[00:01] hello, i have wine 0.9.46 and it has a bug with battle.net for warcraft 3, i read that if i downgrade it to 0.9.45 the I should not have problems [00:01] but how can i downgrade ot gutsy [00:01] crdlb: How do I remove a userscript when it's installed? [00:01] Grisha: Gutsy is the latest.

Can someone help please! [00:02] metatronsage, chroot to your root partition, mount boot and do it then [00:02] so can you help me creating my partitions [00:02] Grisha: I've never done it, but there's something called pinning that may work. [00:02] !pin | Grisha [00:02] Grisha: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [00:02] thanks [00:02] i'll check it [00:02] Newbie00: sorry, I could figure it out if I was there but I haven't used the installer recently enough to be able to tell you how to do it from here...someone else here likely can however [00:02] someone knows how can i install the last nvidia drivers?! from the binarys?! [00:02] metatronsage, actually it's update-grub who's supposed to write the file, not grub-install [00:03] !java [00:03] 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.

I now can't boot however as I get a "no valid operating system" error, what can I do about it? [00:03] jrib that don`t help nathing i allreayd read it thta why im asking [00:03] cdm10: you have to delete it from ~/.gnome2/epiphany/extensions/data :) (no ui unfortunately) [00:03] the nvidia-settings don`t work [00:03] whith last ... [00:03] crdlb: yuck, ok. [00:03] dolphin_noel: what exactly is the issue? [00:04] karel: you copied the physical partitions from one drive to another? [00:04] i have a simple fstab Q: i have a partition that i'd like to mount at a certain folder (/mnt/vbox), but i can't get the fstab line to do what i want it to ... it keeps putting icons on the desktop, even when i have "noauto" ... here's what the line is now: "UUID=ff9b6a4d-2d71-4feb-ac6e-adaecc87ce36 /mnt/vbox ext3 noauto,user,noexec,rw 0 1" ... thank you in advance [00:04] karel: i think it's a problem with a jumper, switch to master mode [00:04] guru: yes, using gparted live cd [00:04] what does ubuntu use for wireless as my chip is rt61 but i can't see anything installed for that [00:04] Newbie00: you mean a switch on the drive itselves? [00:04] jrib yes the download works fine but there are no nvidia-settings using the ubuntu driver your nvidia-settings dont work .. so i nede to install the drivers to cna have the nvidia-settings since ubuntu looks it is not working [00:04] guru: download link driver where? for ali corp [00:04] yes karel [00:04] :) [00:04] karel: sounds like whatever bootmanager you are using is still looking on the other drive for an os and (obviously) can't find it [00:05] lavinya: try searching google, i've never heard of ali corp [00:05] dolphin_noel: type 'nvidia-settings' in a terminal. Tell me what happens [00:05] is there a photo rotator like the one there is in Vista for ubuntu? [00:05] is there something i can do to encourage people to help me out? my question is utterly simple [00:05] src: sorry to ask, but whats the exact command to use to mount my boot part once i'm chrooted to my root filesystem? [00:05] karel: do you get the typical message from the bios saying "No operating system found"? [00:05] jrib you never try to install the nvidia-settings from the apt whith lasted nvidia drivers?! it says the nvidia-settings can`t be install [00:05] well, I replaced the other drive, so it actually should be the same drive "addressing" I thought... I was using grub but I don't know if that's the one giving me this errors [00:05] need help with FreeCiv [00:06] dolphin_noel: because nvidia-settings is included with the drivers [00:06] guru: yes, it lists all bootitems [00:06] karel: did you mark the drive you copied to as bootable? [00:06] guru: i search google but no linux driver. Only have windows vista driver. ? [00:06] metatronsage, mount /dev/<#number> /boot [00:06] FluxD: hey man, ndiswrapper doesnt work. . . [00:06] Need help with graphics errors [00:06] guru: where? I didn't specifically did it [00:06] jrib ops ... LOLLLL your right :x lol dah [00:06] karel: ahh ok, then you may need to edit the entry in grub (highlight an item and press 'e' for edit) [00:06] i have a simple fstab Q: i have a partition that i'd like to mount at a certain folder (/mnt/vbox), but i can't get the fstab line to do what i want it to ... it keeps putting icons on the desktop, even when i have "noauto" ... here's what the line is now: "UUID=ff9b6a4d-2d71-4feb-ac6e-adaecc87ce36 /mnt/vbox ext3 noauto,user,noexec,rw 0 1" ... thank you in advance [00:06] When I enable desktop effects in ubuntu 7.10, the effects get enabled, but i no longer have a window manager. How can I fix this? [00:06] how many partition i have to create to install ubuntu [00:06] plz :) [00:06] i know Swap and / ? [00:06] guru: I mean I get a list of the startup items the bios checks, I don't get to see grub [00:07] there is another ? [00:07] Newbie00, that's all you need [00:07] Need help with graphics errors [00:07] I have a networkcard which uses the RTL 8185 chipset that I'm having trouble with. I wanted to try to use ndiswrapper to drive the card, but i can't becuase even though I added ieee80211_rtl to the blacklist it still loads what am I doing wrong? [00:07] jrib i see there to pakages diferents that makes me think the nvidia-settings nede to be install from other pakage lol thanks :) [00:07] karel: then you will most likely need to install grub onto the new drive [00:07] guru: how to windows vista webcam driver using on ubuntu? [00:07] src: thats what i was tryin but it keeps asking me to specify a filesystem type, im just unsure on the syntax [00:07] how much can i give to each one ? [00:07] please, it's just an fstab question that will take 30 seconds to answer [00:07] dolphin_noel: no problem [00:07] astro76: ? [00:07] Need help with graphics errors [00:07] guru: how?

[00:08] lavinya: you'll need to be more specific than that...there are many camera manufacturers out there and many different models of cameras [00:08] metatronsage, if your /boot is ext3 [00:08] astronaught, worldwide [00:08] kbrooks: w00t, thanks :) [00:08] Newbie00, you can use guided partitioning and it will decide, or how much ram do you have? [00:08] 1G [00:08] if nobody here will take my question, where should i go? i feel stupid posting a question about fstab on a forum when just about anybody in here could answer it [00:08] Hi, I am having crysis after update to Gusty. X refuses to find Nvidia driver for my 8600GT. If i just download the driver from Nvidia site and install it, then that works fine. However no glx or dri with that. When i enabled the restricted driver for nvidia and restart X. it complains that no nvidia driver found. Help please. [00:08] 1GB astro76 :) [00:08] I really don't get why aptitute doesn't find an installation candidate for python-reportlab-accel but does find one for python-reportlab -- any ideas? [00:08] karel: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [00:08] so how much i ll use [00:08] !support > cwgannon (read the private message from ubotu) [00:09] hi, i need some help to improve p2p/bittorrent speeds on ubuntu, im a bit lost, anyone know ?? [00:09] Newbie00, I'd use 1GB [00:09] hi all; how do i install the full ubuntu distribution if i already have kubuntu installed? [00:09] jrib: like i said, i feel stupid posting a question about fstab on a forum ... pointing me to the bot was as difficult as answering the question would have been [00:10] Narada: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [00:10] so in swap i'll put 1GB and / the rest of it ? [00:10] Narada: the only difference is the gui, just do a apt-get install gnome and apt-get remove kde [00:10] of my HD [00:10] cwgannon: so then why not ask the question instead of asking about asking the question? [00:10] ghatak_mobile: yeah [00:10] right [00:10] hexkubuntu: don't i have to get the ubuntu-desktop? [00:10] Narada: apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment will work too [00:10] cwgannon: huh? you asked for other places to get help right? If I knew the answer to your question, I would have answered it [00:10] guru: because i've c/p'ed it twice already, and i know how testy people in here can get about doing that [00:10] Newbie00, indeed, but if you are doing it manually anyway, you might consider making /home separate, but you don't need to [00:10] ghatak_mobile: what's the difference [00:10] Narada: ubuntu-desktop is simply a way of combining those commands I gave you [00:11] it simplifies the task :) [00:11] Oh so i have to create /home too [00:11] aha! [00:11] Narada: they are both meta packages, should have same result [00:11] cwgannon: i did not see your question so could you copy it again so that i can try to help? [00:11] where is teh setting to change cube from 2 sides to 4 [00:11] Newbie00: you don't have to create a seperate /home partition but you can... [00:11] guru: well, I actually tried that and when I try it again now it seems to work suddenly :S, hope it actually did [00:11] Newbie00, I said "you don't need to" === jacobmp92 is now known as jacob [00:11] atouk: you can download an extra compiz-settings-manager, I think, that'll give you extra options [00:11] eth1:avah is getting a bogus address: 169.254.4.147 while it does get a valid when running the live cd... what might be going on? [00:11] guru: i have a simple fstab Q: i have a partition that i'd like to mount at a certain folder (/mnt/vbox), but i can't get the fstab line to do what i want it to ... it keeps putting icons on the desktop, even when i have "noauto" ... here's what the line is now: "UUID=ff9b6a4d-2d71-4feb-ac6e-adaecc87ce36 /mnt/vbox ext3 noauto,user,noexec,rw 0 1" ... thank you in advance [00:11] ghatak_mobile: i wanted the ubuntu tweaks for gnome too [00:11] src: it wasnt letting me mount the drive, so i checked with mount -l and it listed it fine /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw,data=ordered), but when i try mount -text3 /dev/sda1 /boot it doesnt find it [00:11] OK [00:11] karel: random problems that fix themselves worry me too [00:11] so two [00:11] SWAP and / [00:12] right [00:12] :) [00:12] :) [00:12] Hiyo everybody, this is Gutsy support now, yes? [00:12] Swap with 1GB ? [00:12] Can anyone help me with my X issue. much appritiated. [00:12] kthxbaiiiii [00:12] mjancaitis: yes [00:12] ghatak_mobile what do you need [00:12] cwgannon: fstab is working correctly then (i remember the line you pasted earlier now). apparently something specific to your windowmanager is automounting that drive [00:12] all, i try use bcm43xx, try ndiswrapper, but my broadcom 4328 doesnt up! lspci found it, but no more. . . [00:12] Hi, I am having crysis after update to Gusty. X refuses to find Nvidia driver for my 8600GT. If i just download the driver from Nvidia site and install it, then that works fine. However no glx or dri with that. When i enabled the restricted driver for nvidia and restart X. it complains that no nvidia driver found. Help please. [00:12] Figures my problems with downloading python-reportlab were with the repository which apparently wasn't up-to-date. I find this strange though, since I did reload the same day I installed Gutsy. [00:12] guru: yep, grub :) (ok, drive number is incorrect but I can edit that :) [00:12] cwgannon: try ps aux | grep auto and see if anything related to automounting shows up [00:13] Anybody know if Gutsy has screwed with CPU handling at all? I run a distributed computing program (folding@home) that used to have 35 minute frames and now takes over an hour for each [00:13] metatronsage: um, mount -l lists mounted drives - why would it let you mount it again to the same mount point? [00:13] what does the "exta" option in visual effects give you? wobbly windows, super-tab window changing.... wot else? [00:13] Bruno_: did you get that ? [00:13] (-l displays filesystem type, sure, but it only displays it for already mounted drives) [00:13] metatronsage, if mount reports it as mounted, then it is already mounted [00:13] mjancaitis: it uses a newer kernel and the cpu handling might've changed with the newer kernel [00:13] ghatak_mobile: sorry dony know how. you could try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but im not sure it would helpp [00:13] timob: I think you get better window transitions too [00:13] guru: one line, last part is "grep auto" -- nothing more i can discern from it [00:13] mcummings: sry, didnt realise that :P [00:13] cwgannon: what windowmanager are you using? [00:14] guru: X? compiz? [00:14] Bruno_: I can edit, xorg.conf myself. the error log says, that it crashed while looking for nvidia driver. [00:14] cwgannon: gnome, kde, windowmaker, etc [00:14] guru: gnome [00:14] where is the installation directory of tomcat 5.5? [00:14] hexkubuntu: any way I can find that out or something I can run that'll make sure my freqs are the same and stuff? [00:14] metatronsage: heh, something new every day :) [00:14] ghatak_mobile: then idk know to help you [00:14] cwgannon: i'm not very familiar with gnome...maybe try searching the forums or google for 'gnome automount' or similar [00:14] src: im just really confused here, its already mounted as /boot, but when i am chrooted to my local filesystem and i cd /boot i get an empty dir [00:14] mjancaitis: I think if you do cat /proc/cpu [00:15] guru: thank you [00:15] Hmm... ok thanks [00:15] suddenly my gusty box is not getting a valid IP... what could cause this? i boot with live cd and i get an IP [00:15] cwgannon: no problem. your fstab entry does look correct so it at least helps narrow your search [00:15] guru: do you know if theres a listing of all the packages ubuntu adds ontop of a base system such as a base gentoo install [00:15] sahil: that i do not know [00:15] guru: basically i want to make a meta package for gentoo that makes it akin to ubuntu [00:16] guru: am i right, though, to believe that that fstab line should mount that partition on that folder at startup but should not create a desktop icon for it? [00:16] i cant believe it [00:16] sahil: from a clean ubuntu install do dpkg --list > file.txt i suppose [00:16] metatronsage, df -k says what? [00:16] n8... [00:16] 7.10 actually bnooted on my first gen coreduo macbookpro [00:16] Is it possible to install ubuntu onto a second partition from within ubuntu? [00:16] cwgannon, the making of an icon is not related to the fstab. thats another 'subsystem'/feature of the window manager [00:17] cwgannon: yes, gnome (or something running as part of gnome) is taking care of the icon for you [00:17] can someone please take a minute and walk me thrtough how i have to manually partition the disk/.

[00:18] Shadeofgrey: you want at least a root mount point (set as /) and a swap space, which you'll see in the menu; use ext3 for the / and install to there [00:18] jaek_: were you previously using dhcp? [00:18] metatronsage, is this from within chroot or from outside? [00:18] within [00:18] hexkubuntu: it seems to be reading my proc at 800MHz, which is most definitely incorrect... am I looking at the wrong thing or do I need to edit a setting/install something different somewhere? [00:18] guru, yes, dhcp was working fine, but now it doesnt get a valid IP [00:18] Dr_Willis: any ideas where i can look to disable that automatic desktop icon?

[00:27] guru, yes [00:27] guru: ya === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [00:27] src: i remember doing this a few times [00:28] metatronsage: ls /dev/hd* [00:28] hey [00:28] gfgsgs [00:28] its a friggin nightmare :( === atouk_ is now known as atouk [00:28] you should have something named /dev/hd there [00:28] quit [00:28] how do i "configure" my hardware, from within ubuntu? [00:28] sudo ls /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1 [00:28] is there some graphical application? [00:29] metatronsage: sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp ; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp [00:29] hoarycripple PM me Plz [00:29] guru: done [00:30] How do you add more virtual desktops ? [00:30] metatronsage: ls /mnt/tmp and see if it looks like your root partition (/mnt/tmp/boot should exist) === Downix is now known as Downix2k [00:30] Ok [00:30] I can't seem to get 3D acceleration to work [00:30] amazen720, what is the specific problem with the plugin? [00:30] i have an odd problem with totem movie player: when i add a file to the playlist (dragging from my file list) it drags the wrong file. [00:30] daxroc: right click on the workspace applet in your panel and go to preferences [00:31] guru: sda1 isnt my root filesystem, its just a small 500mb /boot primary partition ext3 [00:31] I can't get it to install [00:31] amazen720, that is not specific enough [00:31] amazen720, are you trying to compile it? [00:31] metatronsage: is that your drive or is it your cdrom? [00:31] guru: iv ls'd it and its just the same as before, theres a grub dir with no menu,lst, and a boot dir with a grub dir inside it, also with no menu.lst, but has everything else [00:32] virtualization question: is there any way to dedicate one processor to a virtualbox and one to my host system in gutsy? [00:32] it looks absolutely bizarre, because i'll drag a video over to the playlist, and it'll add something way off mark from what i intended. [00:32] can you PM me cause this fast pace in this room hurts my eyes [00:32] metatronsage: copy your menu.lst onto it then and unmount it and it should be fine [00:32] can someone point me to how to enable 3D acceleration with the free ATI driver? [00:32] amazen720, keep it in the channel, it might help someone else too [00:32] Downix2k: which card? [00:32] okay [00:32] Noob question, can you run ubuntu for the first time using using a virtual cd/dvd drive? FYI I'm running Vista right now. :[ [00:33] ShoopedUp: you should be able to [00:33] ShoopedUp: what do you mean virtual drive? [00:33] ShoopedUp: it runs fine in vmware the last time i checked [00:33] think he means mounting to a virtual drive [00:33] ah vmware [00:33] amazen720, once again, are you getting a compile error? [00:33] guru: vmware is a virtual cd/dvd drive [00:33] yes [00:34] i have one dell vostro 1400, but network interface dont work with ubuntu 7.10 desktop, how to configure it? [00:34] or i think [00:34] amazen720, ok, go to pastebin.com and paste your error. [00:34] guru: do i need this UUID stuff in my menu.lst? [00:34] amazen720, and send me the link [00:34] anyone with suggestions for my oddball problem with totem movie player? [00:34] ShoopedUp: vmware is a virtual machine that provides the ability to mount an image as a cd/dvd drive [00:34] amazen720, i just compiled it no problem [00:34] guru: can I use daemon tools? [00:34] !iso [00:34] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [00:34] amazen720, and installed...the separate plugin shows up in gimp plugin browser [00:35] If you got a .iso file - you can esaially mount it to a directory [00:35] metatronsage: my default ubuntu install used it (and got it horribly, horribly wrong) so i removed it and replaced it with the physical disk name/id (e.g., (hd0,0)) [00:35] is there some tool for ubuntu, to configure _all_ hardware? [00:35] okay i'm doing something wrong [00:35] hey how come gdesklets doesnot work [00:35] sidewalk, _ALL_ i would say _NO_ [00:35] :_ [00:35] ShoopedUp: you will not be able to mount it with daemon tools then reboot your computer and expect ubuntu to work [00:35] hi, if I have an ext3 partition sda1 and an empty hdd sdb, is it possible to create a software raid 1 at that partition without losing the data? [00:35] amazen720, yes, but you need to give me more info or i can't help [00:35] amazen720, paste your error on pastebin.com [00:35] ShoopedUp: you will need a virtual machine such as vmware if you wish to do that, otherwise burn the image to a cd/dvd and reboot your computer with that [00:36] DR_Willis: i need to have ubuntu reconfigure my monitor (and tv-out) [00:36] Dr_Willis: what tool do i use? [00:36] okay [00:36] sidewalk, depends on your video card. [00:36] Guru: I've never used a virtual machine... is it complicated? [00:36] sidewalk, i use nvidia's tools for my nvidia card [00:36] I'm trying to complie it now [00:36] when i enable compiz it makes a viritual workspace larger then my screen ... anyone know where to change this? (changing desktop size under general options does not work) :< [00:36] DR_Willis: i have nvidia-settings [00:36] NLoRD: i would say yes that is possible since that is how hardware based raid works [00:37] Shoopedup: just like running a full OS in a window :) [00:37] sidewalk, the nvidia pakcage installs several nvidia tools try 'nvidia' at the shell [00:37] ShoopedUp: i don't think it is. download the free trial of vmware and see what you think [00:37] when i am trying to connect to my windows shared folder and it asks me for a password, but i dont have a password set on my windows pc [00:37] Vmware-server is free to use - you can get a free serial # from the vmware web site. [00:37] Virtualbox has a windows version i see [00:38] it's kinda like putting windows in the matrix... it doesn't know it's in Linux [00:38] Dr_Willis: i never tried vmware-server, i've always used vmware workstation [00:38] guru: VMware Infrastructure 3? [00:38] guru, i never use the workstation. :) i always use the server [00:38] Can you bind the cube to the middle mouse button on desktop ? [00:38] *compiz-fusion [00:38] ShoopedUp: no, vmware workstation (or vmware server if Dr_Willis is willing to walk you through using it) [00:38] shoopedup: no, you need to find the free section and download vmware server if thats what you want [00:38] Dr_Willis: does it work in the same way workstation does? [00:38] hi [00:38] guru, i guess so. ive never used workstaton [00:39] I missee why he was even needing to use vmware. [00:39] Dr_Willis: does it present you with a dui for selecting which virtual machine you want to start? [00:39] guru, yes. [00:39] Dr_Willis: he wants to boot from an iso image instead of buring it to a disk [00:39] Dr_Willis: I don't have a cd burner/dvd burner [00:39] ShoopedUp wants to know whether it's a good idea to install Ubuntu from a mounted iso in windows... === r00723r0_ is now known as r00723r0 [00:40] ShoopedUp, boot and do 'what' with it exactly? [00:40] Dr_Willis: i'll have to give vmware server a shot then once my workstation trial expires [00:40] hoarycripple: http://pastebin.com/m144c66a4 [00:40] I had Kubntu 7.04 and selected the installation of ubuntu-desktop, so i became an ubuntu user 10 minutes ago. I like gnome much better i think and i wanted to upgrade to 7.10 but the updater said after 30 secs of downloadin that it failed with the prerequimenets what is this and what can i do? [00:40] Dr_Willis: most likely a newcomer wanting to give it a shot [00:40] ShoopedUp, you can easially use vmware-server to boot iso files as a way to 'test' the live cd. [00:40] naxa: fresh install from a 7.10 cd [00:40] my window decorator keeps crashing under compiz, any idea what it's doing wrong? [00:40] ShoopedUp: just keep in mind that it will seem slow compared to windows because you are running it in a virtual machine instead of on a real machine [00:41] ShoopedUp, virtualbox can do that also. but i had issues with some live cds last i tried it. [00:41] guru: what do i actually need in my menu.lst file? any of these options that are essential? or can i just list my os's? [00:41] blakeg: it tooks ages to download a cd... [00:41] guru: depends on the amount of ram i think [00:41] my net is slow [00:41] okey, so i need a graphical thing to configure my ubuntu desktop [00:41] hiya :) [00:41] is there no other option to get more information about what went wrong? [00:41] sudo gvim /boot/grub/menu.lst [00:41] in 7.04 there was an application [00:41] wrong window [00:41] naxa: did you download the 7.04 or 7.10? and when did you dl it? [00:41] Do you have to start compiz, like compiz --replace everytime for XGL to work in gusty? Or should it work by default ? [00:41] isnt there in 7.10 ? [00:41] amazen720, ok, you don't need to do a configure [00:41] metatronsage, you may want to do some resewrch befor ya start twiddling with the menu.lst - Yes. most of that stuff in there is needed. :) [00:41] metatronsage: i'll paste an entry from mine [00:42] amazen720, make clean && make [00:42] blakeg: i have 7.04 kubuntu and made apt-get ubuntu-desktop which was 230 mb already. [00:42] amazen720, then send any error to pastebin [00:42] Heya guys! Thought i'd just drop by seeming as i'm new to Ubuntu and all, See if I can get any tips, ect. ;) [00:42] when i am trying to connect to my windows shared folder and it asks me for a password, but i dont have a password set on my windows pc [00:42] crdlb: ATI Radeon 9200PRO [00:42] sidewalk, to configure what? [00:42] guys check these wallpapers out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [00:42] naxa: then you tried to upgrade to 7.10 and it failed right? [00:42] Toufas, Tryed your admin password? [00:42] http://pixel.customize.org/ [00:42] Toufas, ive found in the past - samba/windows seems to work nicer if you set up the same user/password on the windows box as the linux box. [00:42] metatronsage: http://rafb.net/p/CLoErF78.html [00:43] Downix2k: what does this command say?: glxinfo|grep "client vendor" [00:43] how do you upgrade to 7.10 anyways? [00:43] there is no admin pass on my shared folder/windows box [00:43] Download it? [00:43] how do I killall firefox processes? [00:43] yes, ubuntu works and after that i tried its update manager thing to update to 7.10 and it fails, but i dont know where can i find the reason for this [00:43] !upgrade [00:43] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:43] what is the name of a video converter for ubuntu? aka, to convert different things like .avi to .mpg, etc? [00:43] naxa: try doing a fresh install of your 7.04 kubuntu, update that to 7.10 and then install the gnome desktop [00:43] crdlb: SGI [00:43] metatronsage: basically you will need to change the uuid to whatever the uuid of your disk that contains /boot is, you'll need to specify the path to your kernel, and specify the path to your initrd [00:43] Niina: System>Admin>System Monitor, There you can end/kill processes. [00:43] Marfi, avidumx I think is the name of one [00:43] uh... that sound bad :) [00:43] !find avidu [00:43] Package/file avidu does not exist in gutsy [00:43] Downix2k: glxinfo|grep direct [00:44] avidemux i think it is [00:44] metatronsage: also you may need to change the root line to match your physical setup [00:44] But thank you. [00:44] !find avidmux [00:44] Can someone help me with wireless adapter? [00:44] http://pastebin.com/m720bea51 [00:44] Package/file avidmux does not exist in gutsy [00:44] crdlb: Yes [00:44] Dr_Willis, Guru: sorry I was on the phone with a friend that neeeded the calculus homework. [00:44] Dr_Willis: avidemux [00:44] is there no way to get more detailed information of what it means by "prereq.s failed"? [00:44] !find avidemux [00:44] !find avidemux [00:44] Found: avidemux [00:44] Atomic_UE: screen-resolution, mouse, keyboard etc [00:44] maybe i could do the prereqs manually... [00:44] i just dont know what is it [00:44] Downix2k: then what's the problem? [00:44] how do i kill a firefox process in the terminl? [00:44] sidewalk, System > Preferences [00:44] i prefer cinelerra over avidemux though [00:44] <3 linux community!!! =) [00:44] niina, killall firefox-bin [00:44] Atomic_UE: and then? [00:45] wtf someone is shooting a .44 outside of my apartment...brb [00:45] crdlb: cedega says I lack hardware acceleration when I test [00:45] any other progs that could be used? [00:45] Niinja, Surely just restart/log off? [00:45] hoarycripple: you get that? [00:45] Downix2k: cedega isn't very smart [00:45] Niinja? Niina, [00:45] naxa: there are a few nice upgrade howto's in the forums, other than that, i've had problems and i think others have too of upgrading and getting a stable system [00:45] sidewalk, and then whatever you want. Screen Resolution, Keyboard, Mouse, etc [00:45] Stolencheese, that's like buying a plane for the peanuts [00:45] Atomic_UE: i want ubuntu to detect [00:45] guru, Dr_Willis: I want to install ubuntnu without burning it to a cd, and I want to have the option of going back to vista os. [00:45] i see... [00:45] anyone know the name of another program that cna be used to convert video files from one format to another? [00:45] anyone know how I can get my scroll wheel on my mouse to scroll??? I can open tabs and stuff but I can't scroll [00:45] Downix2k: I don't think it works particularly well with the open source drivers :/ [00:45] amazen720, you're missing a few dev libraries [00:45] wine might work better [00:45] thank you! [00:46] r00723r0: I like my peanuts what can I say, Why do you say that? It works by logging off, It kills all processes! ;D [00:46] ShoopedUp, vmware will let yiu install to a 'virtual' drive. NOT a real physical one. [00:46] sidewalk, it does that when it's installed [00:46] amazen720, you'll need to install those before the plugin will build [00:46] crdlb: figured, and ATI's closed-source doesn't like my card (and I hate it on principle) [00:46] Dr_Willis: actually that's not entirely true [00:46] ShoopedUp, its a simple way to play with new os's [00:46] Stolencheese, there are many more efficient ways to close just one process (or one process name) [00:46] amazen720, specifically, you'll need libgimp2-dev [00:46] Dr_Willis: vmware will let you install onto a physical disk [00:46] guru: so for the root: option, do i enter my root filesystem there or my boot partition? [00:46] what does ubuntu have to do bittorrents? [00:46] Atomic_UE: come on! [00:46] guru, you can make it go to a real hd. BUT thats beyone the scope of this lissen. :) [00:46] dr_willis: so a virtual drive will never become permanent [00:46] Lesson. :) [00:46] how do I get that [00:46] kkathman: azureus [00:46] oh yuk [00:46] r00723r0: She said all processes, I know about System Monitor, I only got Ubuntu today! :P Stop bullying me! :D [00:46] Stolencheese, killall firefox-bin will kill it without having to do any work at all [00:47] thats java :( [00:47] my other problem is that im hungarian and hungarian language seems to be enabled but my menu keeps saying "Applications" "places" and "system" but the submenus are in hungarian and in the editor "Applications" is also called "Alkalmazások" which is the same in hungarian. How could I see english on my menu, still? [00:47] Hey, does anybody know how may i play monkey island 4 on linux? [00:47] Stolencheese, i'm not bullying :P [00:47] Dr_Willis, ewww, real hd ... [00:47] ShoopedUp, it could../ but vmware emulated different hardware also.. So you might not want to do that. [00:47] metatronsage: you would enter it as root: (hd0,0) presuming that /boot is on hd0 slice 0 [00:47] hi....... is there a command similar to "DXDIAG" in the ubuntu terminal? [00:47] Atomic_UE: i want to run some tool in ubuntu, which checks what hardware i have and automatically installs and configures it [00:47] crdlb: I'm tired of running Windows so trying once more to get my 1 and only windows game to run on Linux [00:47] r00723r0: I know, I was kidding :D I love this Ubuntu [00:47] utarpradesh: glxinfo [00:47] kbrooks, heh heh. :) [00:47] thank you [00:47] kkathman: a programming elitist? Haha. what code are you looking for [00:47] Stolencheese, aye, good stuff [00:47] Does anyone here know how i can set up my airport with ubuntu? Im on an imac g4 [00:47] hi which is the preferred command line and also the preferred gui for package management [00:47] What to do about java apps in a 64 bit environment? Having trouble with Azureus. Regretting installing 64 bit. Should I just reinstall? [00:47] amazen720, you'll also need libc6-dev [00:47] amazen720, and probably others [00:47] Dr_Willis: what are my options for permanently installying ubuntu? [00:48] should i use synaptic or adept or aptitude? [00:48] eric_c: just install ktorrent or another bittorrent client [00:48] Narada: sudo apt-get install for CLI; Synaptic Package Manager and Update Manager work for gui [00:48] mjancaitis, not a programming elitist, just I hate java as a platform - its slow, a resource hog and hard to deal with [00:48] amazen720, try using synaptic to get the dev packages [00:48] Narada: i use apt [00:48] Narada, it's up to you [00:48] hoarycripple: I'm a Newbie to ubuntu and Linux, dont understand [00:48] naxa: not sure about those, but you could always change the type of menu so that it's just the logo and not all 3 types [00:48] Narada, but most people use synaptic [00:48] Hi. Sorry for being the undeniable noob who askes the question a 100 times but....I'm having trouble at installing Ubuntu. I burned a CD with the ISO, but it stucks, wheter I try to check the disc for any errors, or loading the linux kernel. I then burned a DVD with it, and it loads fast, but it stucks in some processes of the installing. I'm currently trying unly to use it as a Live CD, not... [00:48] ...installing it [00:48] ShoopedUp, very few that i know of. :) Ive never done it that way. Theres network boots and other things.. but youve not given muchinfo on what other machines you may have. [00:48] That doesn't solve my problem, other java applications are broken too. [00:48] amazen720, no problem...just hang in there [00:48] !install [00:48] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation.

[00:49] ShoopedUp, if you want to test out linux, doing so in vmware will work rather well. YOu can proberly find premade vmware-images for ubuntu [00:49] k [00:49] amazen720, libc6-dev, libgimp2-dev [00:49] Narada: apt is the command line utility used to install/remove/upgrade packages [00:49] is there a command in ubuntu that lets me view my hardware specs? [00:49] ShoopedUp, if you had more then 1 pc. you could set 1 up to boot/install onto the other. [00:49] hello, i got problem, my dwl-g510 wlan card don't want to work, what can i do?

[00:52] I unzipped it, it has the folder,but how no idea how to install it [00:52] it has an instantbird.sh file [00:52] Dreyesbo: it's up to you. if you have a blank dvd then sure, why not [00:53] bye! [00:53] Sudo apt-install /home/-yourname-/instandbird-0.1.tar.gz might do the trick. [00:53] EnigmaX: is there a file called README or INSTALL? [00:53] okey come on guys [00:53] penba: No there is not [00:53] isn't there some tool, inside Ubuntu, which can configure my hardware? [00:53] oaky guys, time to head to work [00:53] thanks, I'll try it; time to reboot :P [00:53] hola fellaz! [00:53] Stolencheese, apt-get doesn't work like that... [00:54] EnigmaX: Do Sudo Apt-Install (File Location)/Instantbird-0.1.tar.gz [00:54] there is an instantbird.sh file [00:54] amazen720, let me know how it goes...gotta get some dinner. [00:54] Question: I was downloading a file by Firefox Browser Download and it stopped at 64%. What should I do? Is it possible to close it and restart at 64% again? [00:54] sidewalk: what hardware? video card? mouse? keyboard? nuclear launching device? please be specific [00:54] EnigmaX: then try what Stolencheese said, or run the .sh file like this; ./instantbird.sh [00:54] I have ubuntu 7.10 server..... and I can't seem to upload files above 100MB.... apparently they are forbidden... any ideas here? [00:54] EnigmaX: (in a terminal/console, that it) [00:54] guru: ALL [00:54] albertmk: yes [00:54] Could someone assist me by walking me thru how to change what port apache is listening to? (no Xserver... only shell) [00:54] ok, if I CD to the dir with the tar.zg [00:54] guru: which searches for all and configures them for me [00:54] can I do the sudo apt-get command? === thor is now known as Arron_ [00:54] no libgimp2-dev in synapic package [00:54] Jorda_U: Sorry, Only got Ubuntu today, Been learning as I go. ;P [00:54] will a laptop bought in europe work with north american wifi? [00:55] brew: open up the /etc/apache/config/httpd.conf [00:55] sidewalk: i don't know of anything that can do that. i go through one by one and configure whatever the install didn't configure for me [00:55] EnigmaX: Tryed Packet Manager? [00:55] i did a search and nothing came up [00:55] penba: thx :) [00:55] brew: sorry, that it /etc/apache/httpd.conf [00:55] Is anyone else experiencing an issue with Gutsy Final where there isn't a book splash screen? [00:55] nikosapi_: if it's using a wireless protocol then yes [00:55] EnigmaX, No, apt-get works only on remote repositories, only dpkg works to install local files and even then only when they are in the .deb format [00:55] I need help, why does my rhythmbox music player stop working every now and then with mp3s? [00:55] brew: scroll down until you see the variable that sets the port (it will be 80) change it to your hearts content [00:55] It's just a black screen but things are still working. [00:55] EnigmaX, What are you trying to install? [00:56] EnigmaX: System>Admin>Synpatic Packet Manager> Search your program. [00:56] I got this error: Reading package lists... Done [00:56] Building dependency tree [00:56] Reading state information... Done [00:56] E: Couldn't find package instantbird-0.1.tar.gz [00:56] beowulf_: what do you mean "stop working" [00:56] it wont play the mp3s [00:56] Jordan, I'm trying to install InstantBird [00:56] EnigmaX: did you run apt-get or apt-install? [00:56] EnigmaX: tar xzvf instantbird-0.1.tar.gz [00:56] albertmk: it is possible to resume that file [00:56] Any error? [00:56] EnigmaX, Is that like thunderbird? [00:56] apt-get install [00:56] juanbond: it wont play the mp3s then sometimes it will. [00:56] should I do the apt-install? [00:56] lol i can connecto my windows pc, see the hidden shared folders but when i try to access them it asks me for a password which i never set :S [00:56] beowulf_: try playing an internet station. [00:56] yes, it is possible. But, When I pause and resume, it is not fixed. [00:56] EnigmaX: no :P [00:56] EnigmaX: apt-cache search instantbird [00:57] hoarycripple: no libgimp2-dev, doesn't come on the search [00:57] beowulf_: the reason why I ask is because I am experiencing some of the same issues. [00:57] guru: no but seriously, isnt there any tool to configure the hardware? which searches to check what hardware and does a generic configuratino, like during the install? === cd0 is now known as casgeb [00:57] guru: not in the repositories [00:57] EnigmaX: if it's not found in apt then you will need to install it from the .tar.gz you have === casgeb is now known as cashen [00:57] juanbond: it wont play [00:57] albertmk: you shouldnt use firefox to resume [00:57] has anyone had a problem mounting samba drives? the links on the samba share tries to go to the local machine, not server [00:57] Guru: How do I do that? [00:57] Btw, Anyone rocking out this awesome cube? ;D [00:57] sidewalk: i'm sure there is but i don't know the name[s] of [it|them] [00:57] EnigmaX: run "./instantbird.sh" [00:57] EnigmaX: or ./configure if there is a "configure" file [00:57] anyone else who knows, who can help me? [00:57] juanbond: i'd get amarok but... kde apps hate my computer [00:57] EnigmaX: scroll up, extract the archive and run the resulting script [00:57] and cause me to freeze [00:58] beowulf_: i tried amarok and bombed on me all the time too. [00:58] That's why I'm using rythembox === cashen is now known as cd [00:58] guru: I extracted the archive [00:58] so juanbond what can I do? === cd is now known as cashen [00:58] and there is a instantbird.sh file [00:58] albertmk: rename the downloaded_file.end.part in downloaded_file.end and resume it with wget -c link_to_file [00:58] beowulf_: that's because kde is bloatware now. so is gnome. i use kde though because it seems to be the lesser of two evils for now [00:58] what and how do I run it? [00:58] beowulf_: I wish I knew :) [00:59] EnigmaX: write "./instantbird.sh" in a terminal and hit enter [00:59] EnigmaX: ./instantbird.sh or sh instantbird.sh [00:59] Anyone know of a way to enable Remote Desktop Connection on Ubuntu from Terminal? [00:59] My videos are screwed, Whenever I try to run any kind of video file. it opens the file but I only hear sound. the picture is a mixing of colors. Whats the solution for that one. [00:59] I have ubuntu 7.10 server..... and I can't seem to upload files above 100MB.... apparently they are forbidden... any ideas here? [00:59] comicinke1, thanks but I already canceled it. :-( [00:59] hey guys, everytime i boot i get asked for a keyring password for my wifi to connect up, but i'd really prefer for my system to just connect up withou this password, is there a way to do this? [00:59] amazen720, sorry, that is libgimp2.0-dev [00:59] EnigmaX: you may need to do it as sudo, i have no idea what the software does so you might want to look through the script first and make sure it's safe [00:59] todd: to where, and from where using what? [00:59] jonah, Yes, let me grab the link... [00:59] ok, that came up with at JavaScript App error [00:59] how can I set costum icons for devices, listed in computer:/// ?? [01:00] EnigmaX: can you paste the error in pastebin.com and pass the link? [01:00] anybody care? That problem never happens to me before [01:00] jonah: try searching google for 'ubuntu wireless configuration', i don't remember the exact site but there is a very clear cut document for doing that [01:00] I installed Tomcat 5.5. Wich is the default port that the server runs on. so far I've tried 80 and 8080 [01:00] ok, when I run sudo ./instantbird.sh [01:00] felipe__: netstat -n | grep -i tomcat [01:00] the program opens [01:01] but it's not installed lol [01:01] guru: thanks [01:01] comicinke1, right click on the icon, go to properties, then click on the icon in the top right [01:01] EnigmaX: is instantbird.sh the only file in the directory? [01:01] Does anyone know what package in ubuntu owns /sbin/ipw3945d-X.X.XX-XX-xxxxxx where the Xs are a kernel description? [01:01] EnigmaX: then the program is probably contained within that script and it's all you need [01:01] trying to id on this system is failing, but could be a package db issue [01:01] Evening [01:01] nemo_home: apt-file search /sbin/ipw3945d-X.X.XX-XX-xxxxxx [01:01] guru: yeah. that didn't work [01:01] comicinke1, top left * [01:01] so when i try to boot from the cd i get a "no emulation" msg, i've booted from this same cd on another computer no problem [01:01] guru: nothing, and I already started it with /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 start.... [01:01] Got a quick question about BUM (Boot up manager) and problems that have arisen from using it [01:01] nemo_home: hmm...google? [01:02] Atomic_UE: that works for any folder, but not those listed in computer:/// [01:02] guru: did that too :) [01:02] Guru: This is what I'm trying to install http://www.instantbird.com/ [01:02] guru: you guys are last option [01:02] felipe__: check the logs, it probably failed to start [01:02] My videos are screwed, Whenever I try to run any kind of video file. it opens the file but I only hear sound. the picture is a mixing of colors. Whats the solution for that one. Never happened to me before. my vids was working fine before [01:02] guru: woah. um. my bad? [01:02] guru: just reran file search [01:02] yay [01:02] nemo_home: :) [01:02] BUM anyone? [01:02] doesn't anyone else know a graphical tool in ubuntu to configure my hardware? [01:02] hm. alrighty. let's reinstall this sucker [01:02] jonah, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NetworkManager look at the Automatic Keyring section [01:02] come on! [01:02] guru: It said Ok. Where are the logs? [01:02] Guru, did you get that link? [01:03] strick: try upgrading your codecs [01:03] sidewalk, Configure it what way? [01:03] EnigmaX: yes, looking now [01:03] bbrazil, from my server... using apache on Ubuntu 7.10 server..... to anywhere [01:03] http://www.instantbird.com/ [01:03] sidewalk, s/it/in [01:03] it's supposed to be a great IM client [01:03] Jordan_U_: like during install [01:03] video/audio support, etc [01:03] Instandbird is finally out? [01:03] but it's new [01:03] yes, it's finally out [01:03] Oh wow, how did I miss that [01:03] lol [01:03] Jordan_U_: so that it finds it automatically and sets it up for me [01:03] but I'm trying to figure out how to install it [01:03] http://www.instantbird.com/ [01:03] you can download the tar.gz from there [01:04] how do i get libgimp2-dev? [01:04] guru: thanks. this system has acted weird ever since it was powered off while I was updating it (destroyed parts of package db) [01:04] if you can get it to install, let me know how you did lol [01:04] so.. my friend is trying to install the amd64 gusty and the instalation stops always at 34%. the checksum is alright... any tips for diagnosing the problem? [01:04] Why does my mouse lag whenever rhythmbox is playing? [01:04] I'm new to all of this.....I can't figure it out lol [01:04] sidewalk, Everything should be configured automatically at install. [01:04] I'm doing a dapper->feisty, I'm getting this error [01:04] amazen720: have you tried Synaptic? [01:04] invoke-rc.d: initscript postgresql-8.1, action "stop" failed. [01:04] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/postgresql-8.1_8.1.8-1ubuntu3_i386.deb (--unpack): [01:04] sidewalk, What isn't working for you? [01:04] guru: I think I tried querying the old file I had symlinked the new version to, last time I did an apt-file search [01:04] yes I_S [01:04] I don't even care if I have postgresql, but if I try to uninstall I get the same error [01:04] EnigmaX: it runs in my computer just by running the sh script [01:04] hold on [01:05] when is ubuntu supposed to reflect daylight savings [01:05] when I restart? [01:05] amazen720, [01:05] penba: Same here, but how do I install it? lol [01:05] EnigmaX: i'm not going to install it [01:05] EnigmaX: i don't need another messaging client [01:05] eean, Did you use update-manager or a manual dist-upgrade with apt-get ? [01:05] EnigmaX: thats the program, unpacking it is installing it [01:05] Guru: Ok, that's fine, I'm just trying to figure out how to install it [01:05] amazen720, it is libgimp2.0-dev [01:05] well how can I set it up to open without going into the terminal all the time? [01:05] Jordan_U: manual dist-upgrade, only a handful of packages have yet to be upgraded [01:05] guru, thats not the sulotion, my codecs are fine. Videos was working 5mins ago [01:05] so.. my friend is trying to install the amd64 gusty and the instalation stops always at 34%. the checksum is alright... any tips for diagnosing what the problem is? [01:05] EnigmaX: you can do a "sudo ln -s ./instantbird.sh /usr/bin/instantbird" to create a link for easier access [01:06] Do I have to restart for Ubuntu to nitice we're now on daylight savings? [01:06] amazen: and apt-get doesn't work either? [01:06] I have ubuntu 7.10 server..... and I can't seem to upload files through apache larger than 100MB.... apparently they are forbidden... any ideas here? [01:06] guru: centerim :) [01:06] what does that do penba? lol [01:06] didn't try apt-get [01:06] eean, Ok, first of all next time use update-manager or do-release-upgrade :) [01:06] EnigmaX: it creates a link in /usr/bin/instantbird that links to the file you run to open the application. That way you can just write "instantbird" in a terminal and the program will open [01:06] Jordan_U_: I didn't think dapper would have that [01:06] sudo apt-get install should work [01:06] amazen720, are you listening to me? libgimp2.0-dev. it is there [01:06] so it would be apt-get libgimp2-dev [01:07] todd: what error message is in the logs? and how are you uploading - PUT? [01:07] eean, It has update-manager [01:07] make sure you sudo [01:07] do I have to move the instantbird folder into /usr/bin/? [01:07] Is there a hidden process in Gutsy that does something every 2 seconds or so? [01:07] EnigmaX: you will also need to do "sudo chmod +x .instantbird.sh" [01:07] if you want it sys wide [01:07] EnigmaX: no [01:07] I get that when trying to run "sudo apt-get update" [01:07] W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org gutsy Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 2EBC26B60C5A2783 Medibuntu Packaging Team [01:07] W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [01:07] Jordan_U: anyways this is just a chroot system, so if there's some way to just bulldoze past these errors, that would be fine :) [01:07] salve [01:07] Ok, got a boot hang problem after making changes with BUM (Boot up manager) anyone know how to reverse the changes from the command line? [01:08] strick: erm... you did add the medibuntu sig right? :) [01:08] I doubt it even has postgresql started, its trying to stop it for no-reason [01:08] okay hoarycripple I'll try libgimp2.0-dev then [01:08] How can I view hidden processes in ubuntu? [01:08] eean, Second, to get rid of that error, the easiest thing to do would be to comment out the part of the script that is causing the error [01:08] strick: er. key [01:08] anyone from italy? [01:08] nemo_home, yes i did [01:08] bbrazil, nvm, I think I figured out the problem, thanks [01:08] strick: mm. maybe just bad d/l then :) [01:08] Jordan_U_: there isn't a "don't run silly scripts" option? :) but ok, where is the script? [01:08] bash: instantbird: command not found [01:08] I got that error penba [01:08] does anyone can help me with amule adunanza? [01:08] question about ubuntu installation: does ubuntu understand filesystems formated with LVM? (can I spare my /home rather than watch it going up in flames) [01:08] EnigmaX: tell me what commands you used to create the link [01:08] nemo_home, sorry but how do I do that. somebody helped me, And it worked the other day. [01:08] did you use ./ ? [01:08] eean, So I would comment out everything in the "stop" method of /etc/init.d/postresql [01:08] okay that worked [01:09] sudo ln -s ./instantbird.sh /usr/bin/instantbird [01:09] can anyone help me installing amule adunanza? [01:09] eean, But be sure to remove the comments after the install has completed [01:09] so.. my friend is trying to install the amd64 gusty and the instalation stops always at 34%. the checksum is alright... any tips for diagnosing what the problem is? [01:09] So, last time... no luck on Boot Up Manager? [01:09] Is there a new process in Gutsy that runs in the background every second? [01:09] strick: update, erase the package file, rerun upgrade? just a WAG. I'm not a huge ubuntu user. but that's what I do in Gentoo [01:09] biggahed, LiveCD or alternate install CD? [01:10] strick: worst case, if bad mirror, try forcing connection to another mirror [01:11] Why would the mouse lag when rhythmbox is playing? [01:11] amazen720, pm'd you [01:11] eean, Did that let it finish? [01:11] Senesence: too many compiz special effects fighting for gpu? :) [01:11] hoarycripple: I'm waiting for your next instructions. I've installed the packages, now what? [01:11] I need someone with a rope and a knowledge of regular expressions to help me search my logs for an ip address [01:11] :P [01:11] Jordan_U: now I have some weird errors going on with my network, I'm wresting with it :) [01:12] EnigmaX: mmm, for some reason you need the folders to be in /usr/bin, or to run it some other way [01:12] zylche, m/127.0.0.1/ [01:12] zylche, I don't have a rope.... But are you just searching for one ip, or a pattern? [01:12] One ip, only know the guys username, and probably whois'ed him as an ircop before. [01:12] EnigmaX: delete /usr/bin/instantbird and do this: (wait) [01:12] amazen720, so you installed, libgimp-dev, libc6-dev and libgtk2-dev right? [01:12] my external harddrive(ntfs) wont mount. How do i get it to mount on ubuntu? [01:13] BTW. On subject of compiz special effects. At this instant, compiz.real process is sucking down 51% of my memory. Kind of annoying. [01:13] MetalGear247, Gutsy? [01:13] yeah [01:13] zylche, which scripting language? [01:13] Jordan_U_: wii, that appeared to have worked. thanks. :) [01:13] MetalGear247: how does it not mount? [01:13] I was hoping to use grep [01:13] eean, np :) [01:13] amazen720, try to do a "make" now [01:13] it says i didnt disconnect it properly from windows [01:13] MetalGear247: it should be something like sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/devicename /moutpoint [01:13] Guess I should consider less effects or more memory, but really, since it takes a while to climb to that total, I'm wondering if compiz isn't a little on the leaky side. [01:13] what's the name of the file that [01:13] okay [01:13] nemo_home: Effects are not enabled . [01:13] MetalGear247, Then you need to checkdisk it from windows [01:13] oooh [01:13] yep === JimmyDee is now known as FeistyFellow [01:14] Not that much ubuntu-related as I have it on windows too, but I find my harddrive makes a lot of (constant) "spinning noise" lately, at least more then another harddrive I have here and more then I remember it did. Do note that I dropped my laptop with the drive in it (turned off). Anyone know what could cause this? [01:14] Senesence: CPU spiking when using this client? [01:14] MetalGear247, Or mount it read only if you don't need to write to it [01:14] EnigmaX: open a text editor (vim, emacs, whatever) and paste this in it: http://nopaste.com/p/aKKKPWx4O [01:14] EnigmaX: save that file as "instantbird" in /usr/bin/ [01:14] jordan_U how do i mount read only [01:14] amazen720, if you get any errors, paste them on pastebin again [01:14] EnigmaX: then do "sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/instantbird" [01:14] ugh... i just tried the ubuntu live cd... it gives me an error message saying something about a graphics file failing or whatnot [01:14] sad that there's no fsck.ntfs [01:14] nemo_home: I'm not using it [01:14] EnigmaX: oh, sorry; you need to change the directory in the file I pasted to wherever the instantbird.sh file is [01:14] MetaBot, The command that pipegeek gave but with "-o ro" added [01:14] EnigmaX: that make any sense to you? [01:15] hi all [01:15] MetalGear247: mount -oro [01:15] Senesence: rhythmbox? thought that was the whole point of the question. was curious if it was a hog [01:15] (that is, add -oro to the other options) [01:15] my broadcom 4328 doesnt work with bcm43xx driver and also not with ndiswrapper... what i do? [01:15] k [01:16] even: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) <- my mom's LSPCI [01:16] i get an error:http://pastebin.com/m4b8ddbe4 [01:16] W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org gutsy Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 2EBC26B60C5A2783 Medibuntu Packaging Team [01:16] EnigmaX: only drawback is you can't move the files without having to alter the file in /usr/bin/ [01:16] W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems [01:16] even: lspci I mean. Anyway, close enough, HW wise? 'cause it works fine for her [01:16] quit [01:16] even: using ipw3945 [01:16] hexkubuntu: if you're still around, fixed my CPU scaling issue; installing cpufreq and cpufrequtils and enabling the gnome applet with SUID control lets me control my CPU speeds and fixes my folding slowness [01:16] zylche, you should just be able to put the ip your looking for into grep and it'll go looking [01:16] nemo_home: but i have a broadcom, not intel. [01:17] amazen720: why are you trying to compile gimp? [01:17] even: um. that's a broadcom chip I posted [01:17] Atomic_UE: I don't know the ip. That's the problem [01:17] amazen720, the error messages are your friends. see the top couple lines in the error? you don't have package lcms installed [01:17] nemo_home: No, and there doesn't seem to be a process that does, but whenever I play music with rhythmbox the mouse lags ever second or so - almost in a pattern. [01:17] how do i upgrade my kernel to 2.6.22-15? [01:17] zylche, then you need to search for something you do know [01:17] Atomic_UE: That's why I need to check for ###[.|-]###[.|-]###[.|-]### [01:18] Question: related to Compiz-Fusion ... I have Ubuntu 7.04, and everything works tip top .... except when I have a few KDE windows open (e.g. Amarok, Kopete, Konversation, maybe others too) on my GNOME desktop everything gets noticeably slower .... Anyone experience anything similar? :-/ [01:18] amazen720, install liblcms1 and liblcms1-dev [01:18] Tried it [01:18] okay [01:18] amazen720, then try to make again === awalton is now known as awalton__ [01:18] zylche, cat file.txt | grep ip === joe__ is now known as joepain [01:18] and... how do i install vmware? it says that its not supported for my architecture (i386) [01:18] Senesence: mm. More of an Audacious person myself, so don't even know what underlying stuff it might be doing that could trigger that. Sorry for non-helpful q's :-/ [01:19] or grep ip file.txt [01:19] ... [01:19] hello,, I need the text based installer, but the iso file Ive downloaded is 4kb?? That cant be right? [01:19] what does the composite extension not found mean? [01:19] zylche, if you don't know the ip your looking for then how do you know if it's the right one when you find it?

[01:30] jonah: aye they do [01:30] how big of an effect does burn speed have in burning LiveCDs? [01:30] Senesence: Ubuntu tosses that in ~/.xsession-errors [01:30] amazen720, you can see if the plugin is there by going to "plugin browser" in gimp [01:30] Senesence: if you're feeling trusty you could toss both in some pastebin for us to paw through [01:30] Senesence: ditto your X log [01:30] jim if it's usb try sudo cfdisk /dev/sda [01:30] Jay a big difference burn at 8x === lonran__ is now known as lonran [01:30] strick: you can just download the .deb file from Opera..

[01:31] kahrytan, did you try the del key ? [01:31] a bit confused. i have a fresh install of feisty and i can't get into mysql. i thought the default was no password for the root account. [01:31] ok, it looks like Feisty has no xorg.conf file [01:31] and if I use one, X won't start [01:31] Pelo, well duh. [01:32] If I do an integrity check in the Ubuntu LiveCD and it says the CD is fine, could the CD still have errors caused by a burn speed that was too fast? [01:32] zylche, sorry i ran away [01:32] Jay yes [01:32] No problem [01:32] really? [01:32] !dvd [01:32] 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 [01:32] Jay do md5sum /dev/cdrom [01:32] I'm on Windows right now, sry.

[01:33] Jay in a terminal while live [01:33] i used qtparted because my boot partition takes up my complete hard drive but it won't unmount my harddrive because it's using it [01:33] You mean by pressing F6? === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq [01:33] is the default pass for mysql on feisty unset ? [01:33] Jay: no he means in the booted up system. but this livecd check is checking the cd itself isn't it? [01:33] Because I can't get Ubuntu to boot on my LiveCD, and I was wondering if reburning it at a slower speed would make a difference. [01:33] ah [01:33] I have all java plugins installed. but my system and both browsers Firefox & opera are now keep thinking That I don't have java, hence I go to a java game and it said "You need to install java" Halp! [01:33] Xyc0, open or install gparted, there is a list of supported filesystem in there [01:33] Jay while booted to the livecd go into a terminal and do md5sum /dev/cdrom [01:34] jay: burning slow is good... you might just need the alt. install cd [01:34] zylche, do the usernames come before or after the IPs? [01:34] I just want to test it out though, I don't want to install in permanently yet. [01:34] Jay if you dont burn DAO or SAO the md5sum will not match [01:34] before, irc log formatting, [01:34] * Pelo waves hello to IndyGunFreak [01:34] Pelo: have you gotten Gparted to work w/ gutsy?.. it still doesn't work for me.

[01:34] strick: what package did you install for the plugin? [01:34] which burning program gives me an option to do that? [01:34] Hello, Is this also the chat room to get help with Ubuntu Ultimate? [01:34] IndyGunFreak, didn'T try, I sucessfully upgraded [01:35] There is no try [01:35] Pelo: oh ok, i clean installed, and GParted has been kaboshed since [01:35] Jay there is a reference in Ubuntu.help about how to do it, i dont have the link handy but can look [01:35] hm, compiz is really getting there, huh [01:35] is there any change that totem or mplayer will be able to play what k3b can't find ???

[01:36] Question: related to Compiz-Fusion ... I have Ubuntu 7.04, and everything works tip top .... except when I have a few KDE windows open (e.g. Amarok, Kopete, Konversation, maybe others too) on my GNOME desktop everything gets noticeably slower .... Anyone experience anything similar? :-/ [01:37] I am running gparted from a gutsy livecd. I am trying to resize a partition. When gparted is started it mounts the partition I want to resize and when I unmount that partition gparted crashes... please help [01:37] IndyGunFreak, it's just a bit quicker, still downloaded a bunch of stuff from the internet tho [01:37] Agent_bob: heh. perhaps my love of k3b would be tempered if I had a DVD burner. [01:37] Agent_bob: sucketh at that ? [01:37] how do I do an md5sum check on a burnt CD? [01:37] jrib, here, http://pastebin.com/m7ec5beb7 [01:37] scorp123, asking in #compiz-fusion is probably a better idea [01:37] Pelo: hmm, makes you wonder whats the point of using the DVD i guess... my clean install was gravy as usual..lol [01:37] Jay here is a link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD [01:37] Works, but I don't seem to have it, thanks anyway Atomic_UE [01:37] hoarycripple my file doesn't open still [01:37] nemo_home idk. i'm looking for a way to either copy the movie to hd to play it from disk. so far, nada [01:38] strick: close firefox and tell me the output of 'ps -ef | grep firefox' [01:38] thanks wirechief_ [01:38] looking at it now [01:38] Pelo: not really ... I just wanna know if any other Ubuntu user has seen this phenomenon. If not ... well then it's just me I guess :-) [01:38] okay... another question... i can't install vmware-player for some reason... i have an i386 install [01:38] amazen720, well, that I don't know about...did you read the plugin website and see if it can actually do that? [01:38] Agent_bob: mm. can't even mount it? [01:38] zylche, so it works, the log just doesn't have the info your looking for? [01:38] IndyGunFreak, I just wanted to see if it would work , and it mostly did , my connection stff got messed up, I was still connecting but nmapplet didn't sem to notice, messed up my email retreival [01:38] nemo_home nope [01:38] Atomic_UE: yeah [01:38] Agent_bob: what about just dumping the bytes off in dd ? [01:38] jrib, only 1 line. here "org 28651 6257 0 03:38 pts/0 00:00:00 grep firefox" [01:38] zylche, alright, no worries :) [01:38] nemo_home says no medium found [01:39] !peak [01:39] Factoid peak not found [01:39] Agent_bob: ah. if *that* doesn't work you are kind of beyond the level of stuff like k3b ;) [01:39] @peak [01:39] .peak [01:39] strick: now start firefox and visit http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml . Does this page say you do not have a java plugin?

[01:39] masterloki, what are you trying to get help on ? [01:39] i'm having a huge problem installing software, for some reason update-rc.d gets stuck and is taking 100% CPU [01:40] My LiveCD does show many files instead of the single iso, btw. [01:40] amazen720, i don't think I can help you with that part, as I don't know anything about this... [01:40] nemo_home cause dd does exact bite for bite copy, right ? [01:40] jrib, yes [01:40] what's to be done in gutsy to configure the corners of the screen in order to start the compiz window selector with the mouse? as it was with beryl? [01:40] Jay if you need the gutsy md5sum i think i have it. [01:40] Agent_bob: well, the fact that you can't even read the device... [01:40] amazen720, can you point me to a cmyk image file? [01:40] Jay, that's what it should look like [01:40] yeah [01:40] lonran, I'm guessing you have ccsm? [01:40] okay thanx you"ve been a big help [01:40] nah, I can find the md5sum, I found it for my iso file. [01:40] Agent_bob: just noting that if you can at least dump to file you could perhaps figure out how to mount it, repair it, strip out the movie bit... dunno. just was wondering if even that was possible [01:40] it matched too, so my iso file is fine. [01:41] Jay, just get the alternate install cd as IndyGunFreak suggested , it's good advice [01:41] rainwalker, i have, but cant find that option [01:41] I guess I have to read some more about it [01:41] jrib, what I do now [01:41] will the install CD let me use Ubuntu before installing it? [01:41] Pelo: i think Jay just wants to try, not install. [01:41] nemo_home yeah i'm sure it's because it's not finalized. the movie will play in the dvd player/recorder hooked to the telli [01:41] strick: pastebin 'dpkg -L sun-java6-plugin' [01:41] lonran, you said you want the window selector? Like scale? [01:41] yeah [01:41] not reay to install yet [01:41] amazen720, also, i just saw that a better version of the plugin is here: http://cue.yellowmagic.info/softwares/separate.html [01:41] Jay, no , the alternate install cd is just an installer [01:41] Agent_bob: yeah, well, that's even a totally different drive [01:41] IndyGunFreak, oh , my bad then [01:41] does anyone know why Gutsy doesn't allow me to run nvidia with my gfx card?

[01:48] gutsy [01:48] aalfa: weird. sorry, i dont use cedega, can help you [01:48] pelo: ok i'mt gonna check, thnks [01:48] strick: sudo aptitude purge PACKAGE [01:48] crimsun: i'm not sure how to use that syntax, where do I put the movie name? [01:48] penba: ok, thnks anyhow [01:48] aalfa, #cedega [01:48] aalfa: there is a #cedega with 60 users [01:49] mplayer just gives a small window and quits right away [01:49] atomic_ue: thx [01:49] #cedega [01:49] aalfa, you probably have to unmount the 1st iso and mount the 2nd iso in the exact same place [01:49] sory [01:49] Va1, go in synaptic , search for gstreamer and install every single gstreamer0.10 package you see [01:49] Ok [01:49] Va1: in the [...] part [01:49] atomic_ue: i tried that, but i can't manage to unmount the first iso [01:49] where can I get Gparted help? [01:49] Va1: I use the ellipses to denote additional characters [01:49] aalfa, either that or you'd have to mount the iso onto where your cdrom is supposed to get mounted [01:49] engwe, here [01:49] atomic_ue: it seems as it is in use or something [01:50] Agent_bob: odd that k3b was unable to finalize it though. afaik it can do that kinda thing... [01:50] atomic_ue: how could i do that? [01:50] So I'd do mplayer -vo x11 p-evan.avi? [01:50] jrib, ok flash working.. but man only yahoo games flash sites are not working, do you know a solution for that one? [01:50] strick: doesn't Yahoo Games use applets? [01:50] Va1: yes [01:50] thanks sysinfo accessed [01:50] aalfa, same way as you mount them in the first place i assume, just make the mount point where your cdrom is, /media/cdrom or something [01:51] nemo_home, yeah [01:51] Ooo! That worked [01:51] strick: soooo, install java plugin? :) [01:51] How can I make it so it always works? [01:51] nemo_home, lol. i have it installed bro [01:51] strick: since it isn't a flash site? :-p [01:51] atomic_ue: aight, thanks a lot, im gonna try that [01:51] Va1, it will from now on [01:51] Pelo: everysingle one?..lol [01:51] strick: really? is in about:plugins ? [01:51] Pelo: I am running Gparted from a gutsy livecd, trying to resize a partition. When I start Gparted, it mounts this partition and when I unmount the partition, gparted crashes... [01:51] Oh, okay. [01:51] nemo_home, i dont know, if i know i wouldnt ask here tbh [01:51] rainwalker, ok, i got it, thnks very much [01:51] Is there a way to have panels configured differently in each workspace? [01:51] IndyGunFreak, do you realy think I'm gonna start trying to figure out which one does what ? [01:51] strick: well, the "I have it installed" implied you knew :-p [01:51] Va1: mkdir -p ~/.mplayer && echo "vo=x11"|tee -a ~/.mplayer/config [01:51] strick: enter about:plugins in firefox [01:52] Pelo: lol... [01:52] strick: check for java applets in there [01:52] lonran: you're welcome :) [01:52] strick: if none, then no, you don't have it installed... [01:52] nemo_home, i said i have it installed, thats about java. [01:52] Pelo: wouldn't it be easier to just link him to medibuntu.com, then sudo apt-get install w32codecs? [01:52] strick: I didn't say java. I said java PLUGIN [01:52] IndyGunFreak, ok the .doc ones are probably supperfluous , and the -dev ones over kill but it's easier to tell ppl to install all of them [01:52] strick: so java plugin works now? [01:52] strick: which there is an ubuntu package for, as well as a per-user Firefox XPI packaged by Sun [01:52] hi, does any one know how I can fix "invoke-rc.d: initscript hal, action "start" failed"? It won't install and without it my graphics card is in 640x480 at the moment :'( [01:52] Pelo: i'm just razzin ya... it just struck me as funny how you said that [01:52] strick: are applets in about:plugins ? [01:52] jrib, yes but yahoo games doesnt work for me [01:53] nemo_home, i have it installed [01:53] is there anyway to have my gnome panels configured differently on workspace 2?

[01:53] IndyGunFreak, I try to be entertaining as well as helpfull [01:53] strick: ... sooo that's a yes to the about:plugins question... [01:53] poddo, don'T think so [01:53] nemo_home, see the pic [01:53] Hmm, no, mplayer still doesn't want to play it normally from nautilus [01:54] pelo: dang. id like to have one setup without and panels. [01:54] *any [01:54] Is there a channel dedicated to supporting Desktop Visual Effects? [01:54] Pelo: lol, i was thinking something like, sudo apt-get install install every single gstreamer0.10 package [01:54] anomaly_: #compiz perhaps ? [01:54] has anyone had problems with video when playing dvds on gutsy with desktop effects enabled? [01:54] IndyGunFreak, I wonder if sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10* would work [01:54] anomaly_, #compiz-fusion [01:54] Pelo: hmm, don't know. [01:54] anomaly_: #compiz-fusion [01:54] Thnx. === GNUdog|away is now known as GNUdog [01:54] Hrm. I made it open with "mplayer -vo x11", but it won't work.

[01:55] rainwalker, depends on the card, it's too much for some , but try askiing in #compiz-fusion [01:55] rainwalker: for some reason -vo gl worked fine [01:55] nemo-home: I have problems with it with VLC [01:55] nemo_home, will you see my screenshot or what [01:55] @eean if i do mount it comes back with "proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) [01:55] udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755" [01:55] strick: was waiting for you to post a link [01:55] hi guys, i need some help with partitioning... i have some free space proceeding an ext3 partition... is there any way I can include the free space into that partition? [01:55] Pelo: well the weird thing is that I can play saved video files fine [01:55] nemo_home, I sent it to you [01:55] Evilc: sounds good [01:55] anethema: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove "quiet" and "splash" from your kernel options [01:55] strick: um. I received no notification message [01:55] Va1, open a blank instance of mplayer ( gui one ). goto prefs, or settings or whatever, in the video section, check and make sure the the device supported is x11 [01:56] thank jrib !

[01:56] Evilc: if its a catch-22 you're trying to get out of, you could just comment out all the lines in the start function in /etc/init.d/hal [01:56] anemos, or install StartUp Manager and enable Show Text During Boot option [01:56] strick: don't know about yahoo games in particular. Are you sure they do not use shockwave? [01:56] Evilc: but if you need HAL to actually start, that wouldn't help :) I don't know then [01:56] nemo_home, now? [01:56] also, the logout sound never plays when I shutdown, log out, etc. on gutsy [01:56] This is really weird, but I can't open mplayer now. It quits right away. the gui one. [01:56] anemos, sorry wrong person [01:57] jrib, yes i'm sure they don't use shockwave, I used to play back in feisty [01:57] anethema, , or install StartUp Manager and enable Show Text During Boot option [01:57] And if I do it in the terminal, it only opens the command line one [01:57] rainwalker, dvd is a bit mroe complicated in ubuntu becuae of legal issues in some country, try browsing the dvd in nautilus and playing the .VOB files see if that works [01:57] val: what are you trying to play with it? [01:57] jrib, can you try to go to games.yahoo.com and try a java game like some card game, hearts or spades, see if it work for you? Ofcourse you have a yahoo account i expect. [01:57] mplayer from the command line with "mplayer -vo x11" works === Angelus is now known as K-Virus [01:57] Va1, #mplayer might be a better place to inquire [01:57] asbani: ah. yep. [01:57] But no other players work. They give me a green screen [01:57] Pelo: VLC has always been able to play DVDs with no trouble [01:57] asbani: you know, I have to say. maybe you should just be using the Sun JVM [01:57] asbani: and Sun plugin. [01:57] i am using the binary nvidia driver i manually installed. it appears ubuntu is not aware of this fact, and so is not letting me enable the compiz visual effects. [01:57] asbani: screw this gcj nonsense [01:57] * IndyGunFreak <3's VLC [01:57] nemo_home, tell me how to do that [01:58] rainwalker, vlc is a different bag of beans altogether, [01:58] Pelo: high quality beans.

[01:02] *drive [01:03] engwe, IndyGunFreak told me earlier that gparted in gutsy had problems, I suggest you use the feisty live cd to do your partitionning and then use the gutsy cd for install [01:03] dude nemo_home your a hero [01:03] is anyone here runnen gusty with a samba mount? [01:03] nemo_home, I was looking after this for serveral days now, and you fixed it for me in seconds.

[01:03] Evilc, it hightlight for the person who 's nick is mentionned, the colour will depend on their client and settings [01:03] nemo_home sorry got called away. did you add anything to our discussion ?

[01:04] nemo_home yeah. i would think so. [01:04] Agent_bob: I expect once I transition I will rip all my DVDs to my new media machine :) [01:04] MilitantPotato: easiest thing to do is uninstall your ATI card, and get an Nvidia card.. :) [01:04] buttercups: the gparted livecd could not start X.. that is why I am trying the Gutsy livecd [01:04] IndyGunFreak: I agree, cost a small fortune though.

[01:06] inversekinetix, you need a mame channel [01:06] my xorg log says it's loading everything fine, but i still show mesa drivers running. [01:06] * IndyGunFreak wonders what mame is [01:06] wtf I Just installed ubuntu 7.10 and when ever i move the mouse the computer shutsdown? any1 know 2 fix this? [01:06] IndyGunFreak: JFGI :-p [01:06] nemo_home, I was watching movies. then watched few stuff in totem & vlc both of them working great in all codecs, my codecs are up to date. and everything was fine. I watched also a match in Totem player. but then I closed it. afk for awhile, then back trying to open video files, all of them showing me a picture like that,, Sound is OK. but picture is always like that, picture incoming [01:06] * eboyjr also wonders what mame is [01:06] MilitantPotato, black list it in modprobe man modprobe for more info [01:07] what packages do I need to install to get man pages for simple C functions, like fprintf, etc? [01:07] nemo_home: lol, not that important to me...lol [01:07] IndyGunFreak, eboyjr some game console emulator [01:07] asbani: mm. could you try to explain again what 'sactly is up with the picture? Having trouble parsing that sentence [01:07] asbani: no picture? [01:07] has anyone had any luck installing vmware-server? [01:07] Guys. My clock just broke. It went from 0159 to 0100. [01:07] asbani: I must confess I'm more an mplayer person and not that good at debugging totem/vlc from cli [01:07] inversekinetix: there's several versions of mame in the repositories, why are you compiling it. [01:08] aalfa well since it shows how to mount a iso i thought it might help ok... [01:08] asbani: could ask you if they play in mplayer and mplayer-plugin :D [01:08] sahil, install it from the add/remove menu, it takes care of itself [01:08] wtf I Just installed ubuntu 7.10 and when ever i move the mouse the computer shutsdown? any1 know 2 fix this? [01:08] Scoreed, anything special about your mouse ? [01:08] Pelo: that is the player, i want to install the server [01:08] scordon't use the mouse. [01:08] Scoreed: pastebin last X log? oh, and entire machine shuts down? not just X? [01:08] is there a C standard library documentation package I can install to get man pages for C functions? [01:08] Scoreed did you check the media before you installed ? [01:08] asbani i had same problem only then with w32 codecs i only got a green screen fixed it by removing w32 codecs [01:08] sahil, the server is in the add/remove menu as well [01:09] deebus, manpages-dev ?? [01:09] jim, but you havent seen the picture [01:09] * IndyGunFreak has to wait for Scoreed to tab to make a response.. :) [01:09] asbani: btw, speaking of win32codecs - did you update medibuntu after upgrading to gutsy? [01:09] nemo_home, accept the picture pls [01:09] the "Quit" applet is causing my computer to hang whenever I use it. anyone hear of this before? [01:09] IndyGunFreak, I need the latest version of sdlmame, it isnt in the repository nor will the front ends use it as an executable [01:09] IndyGunFreak, remember when I said , entertaining AND helpfull, not just entertaining [01:09] no i tried to different ones 1 viewsonic and one microsoft both laser and i tried in PS/2 and USB ports [01:09] yes i checked media [01:09] Pelo:where? also it says that vmware-player isnt supported for my arch [01:09] Hey hey, a quick question: Anyone know what the tool chain is that WINE uses to extract icons from windows binaries, and turns them into XPM file [01:09] inversekinetix: what is the name of the mame that you're trying to install? [01:10] jim, reckon a reboot might fix it? [01:10] mame sdl 1.20 [01:10] asbani: ooooh. I recognise THAT [01:10] Someone suggested me to use mplayer -vo x11 before to open a .avi movie, and that works, but the window is too tiny and I can't seem to be able to resize it. How can I make it bigger? [01:10] sahil, what arch are you using ? [01:10] asbani: I had that in mplayer while using -vo x11 [01:10] jim, whats wrong with w32 by the way? Isn't it suppose to help me run the .wmv files and some windows video files. [01:10] Atomic_UE: thx. simple enough. should have known. === maco_ is now known as macogw [01:10] nemo_home, so whats the solution [01:10] Vektuz, #winehq [01:10] Pelo: amd64 [01:10] Va1, why not just mplayer file.avi ? [01:10] asbani: was wild. some compiz wierdness? I suppose I could have tried disabling plugins, but since -vo gl worked fine, I just switched to that [01:10] asbani: given mplayer has like 20 video outputs... :) [01:11] i dont use mplayer [01:11] kny: that gives me a green screen [01:11] asbani: maybe you can figure out how to switch video output in totem. *shrug* [01:11] #ylug [01:11] IndyGunFreak: GXmame only recognizes the old exe which leaves 2000 games unplayable [01:11] kny: I get sound, but no video. Just a green screen [01:11] asbani, don't know what's wrong with em they just didn't work for me but for wmv you can use gstreamer libs and such [01:11] rgr that [01:11] sahil, I would like to apologise, apparently they removed vmware-server in gutsy, try looking on www.getdeb.net there might be a package for it , othewise ask in #vmware [01:11] asbani: anyway, my screen looked identical. [01:11] inversekinetix: i see, so what problema re you having? [01:11] asbani: wondering if disabling compiz special effects would have helped too. but again, since the vo thing worked I stopped caring [01:11] Va1, have you tried vlc? or any other output methods? (-vo gl) [01:11] nemo_home: The damn visualization plugin for rhythmbox seemed to be the cause for rhythm box - the other times trackerd seems to be running every second or so. I turned those off and now no more mouse lag :) [01:11] IndyGunFreak: getting a front end to use the latest sdl [01:12] kny: yes, vlc also gives me a green sceen. I'll try gl [01:12] Senesence: ah. was wondering about something like that. Audacious ;) [01:12] inversekinetix: sorry, i don't compile a whole lot. [01:12] kny: that works, the gl also. But I can't resize it! Its too small [01:12] jim, allright [01:12] nemo_home: I'll be giving it a try - thanks [01:12] yes i checked media [01:12] nothing special about mouse [01:12] could it be motherboard or HDD (previously had windows XP that was DESTROYED by viruses) [01:12] Va1: hm. resize works for me... [01:12] nemo_home, Okay, i will reboot and see if that fix that problem [01:12] Va1, you can't resize? that's really weird [01:12] IndyGunFreak: no probelem, it seems like loads of trouble to do anything in this os [01:12] Oh, I can with -vo gl. Thank you [01:12] Scoreed, I don't know what to tell you abotu your mouse this is the first time I have ever heard of such a thing , are you using hibernate /suspend or some strange settings on shutdown keyboard buttons and such, might be something crossed [01:13] while I'm here, anyone here got some hints on getting my linux thunderbird to use my NTFS thunderbird profiles folder? I've tried the obvious (p [01:13] asbani: hrm. shouldn't have to reboot if you just switched vo [01:13] Va1, glad to hear it. Is it just that particular file or all files? [01:13] hh [01:13] (profile editing etc) [01:13] inversekinetix: hardly... [01:13] nemo_home, I don't know who is vo [01:13] asbani: seems to be general solution for all. sooo, I'm sneaking out again [01:13] later y'all [01:13] avi one.

[01:52] friedtofu, did the applet start running? Looks like on pc in front of another. [01:52] ok... now it's confirmed, my file list from within totem movie player is upside down but is graphically shown to be sorted normally. it's very annoying [01:52] ray2007, do ps -fea | grep ssh and look at the output [01:52] andrewb hmm, ok whats the command for register [01:52] DM| take a look at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup to see how to setup 'the freenode way' :) [01:52] thx Pelo [01:52] joeb3_ no. if it is running, i dont see any special icons [01:52] damn, I can't use blkid [01:52] (sorry for the word) [01:53] andrewb ty [01:53] friedtofu, what happens if outype nm-applet? [01:53] WaterSoul, why not ? [01:53] Pelo: I'm stuck in initramfs [01:53] my ubuntu install doesn't load farther, I have no idea why -_- [01:53] WaterSoul, try the recovery mode ? [01:53] joeb3_ when i type nm-applet, all it does is blink on the next line... is it loading? its been like that for 1-2 minutes right now [01:53] I'm in recovery mode [01:53] What's the terminal way to install a deb package? [01:54] Hey I just have a quick question: Does anyone know a good book on linux in general (or specifically ubuntu would be cool to) for a reference? [01:54] friedtofu, control-c to close that. then type nm-applet & [01:54] WaterSoul, the alternate install cd is an option , no gui, just a text based installer [01:54] !deb | mark-williams [01:54] maquinax, what should i be looking for? [01:54] mark-williams: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click on them (Ubuntu) or right-click and select Kubuntu Package Menu->install (Kubuntu) [01:54] mark-williams: dpkg -i file.deb [01:54] Pelo: what does the alternate CD rescue mode does? [01:54] I'm in Breezy BAdger [01:54] and it doesn't seem to be able to load lvm [01:54] ray2007, something like sshd, connection refused means that the port is closed [01:54] how can i configure a corner of the screen in ccsm to show the desktop? [01:55] eep! when I try to run cpudynd, I get "cpudynd: CPU frequency control disabled"! As such, my CPU is running full speed ahead, and it's only a matter of time before I overheat... why would freq control be disabled, and how can I reenable it? [01:55] joeb3_ oh great. lol ... i feel stupid haha.... blah [01:55] Paxton: help.ubuntu.com is good for ubuntu. I really like the Rute Book as a more general linux book [01:55] WaterSoul, no rescue mode , alternate cd is just a text based installer, it requires less resources and often saves some trouble with installation, less errors and shutdowns [01:55] how user-friendly is Ubuntu? My dad ordered a PC, but it doesn't have an OS. [01:55] looking in ubuntu, no mention of connection refused [01:55] jrib: The rute book? [01:55] joeb3_ next step? .. i see hte network thing, but its on roaming for wireless [01:56] what does sudo -v do? [01:56] Netham45: it tries to be very user-friendly (I think it does a good job) [01:56] lonran, enable Show Desktop plugin. There is also a #compiz-fusion channel [01:56] What do I do after running dpkg -1? [01:56] !man [01:56] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [01:56] mark-williams: -i not -1 [01:56] Netham45, ubuntu is as easy as it gets [01:56] friedtofu, highlight it and click properties. Enter your wireless settings there. it will save them for you. [01:56] Atomic_UE, thanks i'm already there. [01:56] ray2007, you are trying to ssh from ubunto to mac, right?

[01:57] Anyway, what do I do after that? [01:57] sorry, i meant looking at hte output of ps -fea | grep ssh [01:57] mark-williams: doesn't matter as long as you know. That's it [01:57] connection refused? Nothing is listening. [01:57] Paxton: i got wiley ubuntu linux bible 2007 bookmarked if you want it. . . i thinks its a 900 page book [01:57] no mention of connection refused there [01:58] joeb3_ thanks, i'll go tinker with this. haha. [01:58] joeb3_ once again thanks [01:58] ray2007, ah ok, sorry, my mistake, i meant to say you should look at something like this : "root 17423 1 0 10:56 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd" if you dont, it means the ssh server is not running [01:58] I'm stuck [01:58] hello [01:58] who here uses metasploit?

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [01:59] what is metasploit [01:59] ray2007, you should look at the macs documentation to see how to enable the ssh server [01:59] mark-williams: what do you mean by "stuck"?

[02:13] inversekinetix: try a different mirror [02:13] I don't think deb works in Breezy [02:13] orion99, but your grub config will point to sda and sdb etc, so if you go and remove sda your sdb will end up as sda and grub won't be able to find sdb [02:13] ray2007, Only if you mount them [02:13] ray2007: to use X apps you need to type -X [02:13] Atomic_UE, well that is my problem!

[02:15] jrib thanks [02:15] -es [02:15] buzzed, mount as read write :) [02:15] mark-williams: your package is installed. Now you need to read the documentation for unetbootin to learn to use it [02:15] orion99, well by removing sda you'll end up with 2 problems i assume. 1 that there is no longer a boot loader because it's located on sda, and 2 sdb will become sda, so if you install grub onto sdb while sda is present, when you boot without sda, sdb becomes sda and sdb becomes nonexistent, so grub wont find it [02:16] The output of dpkg -l unetbootin makes no sense to me jrib [02:16] buzzed: what filesystem?

Then see how that goes [02:19] whoops [02:20] brianski: with totem are you using mplayer or xine? [02:20] Atomic_UE, ok thanks ill try that!

[02:21] . [02:21] orion99, i'm assuming the simplest case that your sda is hd0 and sdb is hd1 in grub. So if root is hd1,1 for sdb it _should_ be hd0,1 if you remove sda [02:22] can anyone help me with getting xscreensaver up an running? [02:22] anyone else getting the 7.10 torrent to work?

I try to compile 7.0.0 now, but it takes time [03:17] across computers jangari..using a wireless connection, nevermind the connection, just across computers [03:17] shadeofgrey, Just do the "automatically partition free space" option [03:18] hmm, the easiest and fastest way would be to use an external HDD [03:18] misc--, Below start download, check that box for the Alternate cd at the download link for ubuntu [03:18] redheat, you can use samba, or if you just need some quick trransfers winscp in windows + ssh on linux is handy. [03:18] Jordan_U okay - but how do i prevent grub or lilo from installing themselvers [03:18] redheat: I don't know about the rest, but i use FTP to do that [03:18] You know when you restart your computer, it shows the word Ubuntu with a little loading sequence under it. Is it possible to manipulate that picture, and its colors? [03:18] has anyone a wine deb of *.48? [03:18] did you read that url Jordan_U? yeah. quite strange [03:18] !samba [03:18] samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT [03:18] Jordan_U because if grub or lilo tyry to install themselves it'll totally ruin my drive [03:19] I already installed samba, but it doesn't show up on my windows xp.. [03:19] ftp, i don't think i've ever used it to go from computer to computer, [03:19] it makes sense i guess [03:19] how do i change my pointer? i dont see anything under mouse preferences! [03:19] Hi people can someone help me solve a big problem with my USB flash drive? I'm unable to unmount it :( [03:19] shadeofgrey, They should be installed, they install on the MBR, which OSx completely ignores anyway [03:19] Have there been any SRU since the 18th? [03:19] it's there, bart_ [03:19] and when it showed up it showed up under a crooked name for the workgroup, and asked me for a password.. [03:19] there's a seperate tab [03:19] a pointers tab or something [03:19] Hi, anyone knows how to stop ubuntu from switching off my monitor when it idles? I tried power settings and it still doesn't work. [03:19] redheat, You need to configure the samba.conf file - to share the homes dirs. and be sure to give the users a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' [03:19] Jordan_U: so your saying let the system just try to install itself normally? [03:19] I can the windows shared files and folders [03:19] shadeofgrey, Yes [03:20] buttercups: ah ok thanks [03:20] redheat, the 'using samba' book and other books are in the 'samba-doc' package also. worth reading some time [03:20] I saw that tutorial on youtube.. [03:20] Neffscape: did you cd onto the usb drive from the command line? [03:20] Jordan_U that goesagainst every wikik page ive ever seen on the subject [03:20] shadeofgrey, Which wiki? [03:20] ok [03:20] Jordan_U but i have a complete image of my mac partition i can boot from and replace the entire system with if i have to [03:20] phishie: check in the screensaver settings [03:20] sorry phishie, i would have thought it would just do it, have you paid attention to the 'on AC power' versus 'on battery' settings? [03:21] wastrel command line? no I was trying to unmount it from Nautilus as I did in feisty before the upgrade [03:21] Theres several ways you can get linux to see the windows shares. :) (or browse them) but for windows - you need to set up shares on the linux box. [03:21] Dr_Willis, do you know any good tutorial on that.. [03:21] jangari: maybe i don't have something setup right, cus i only have a buttons and motion tab [03:21] wastrel: tried that [03:21] shadeofgrey, To boot from Ubuntu after installing you will need to hold down option after turning the computer on [03:21] redheat, "Using samba" :) ive read the whole book. [03:21] shadeofgrey, Or install rEFIt [03:21] jangari: yes i have but it still turns blank. am using gutsy though [03:21] redheat, in short.. isntall the samba packages.. edit the smb.conf file to enable the home shares. give theusers samba passwords. [03:21] dunno [03:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook [03:22] I did all that [03:22] redheat, then either you missed a step - or wimndows firewalling is blocking somthing. [03:22] the part that scares me is the manual partitioning [03:22] now it asks me for password either way I try to access the ubuntu shared folders, or when I try to access the windows shared folders [03:22] phishie: this worked before in feisty? [03:22] shadeofgrey, Oh, forgot, delete the partition that boot camp made, it's made for Windows not Linux [03:22] anyone know where to download window 2000?..thanks [03:23] phishie: let it go to sleep - save energy- save the world :] [03:23] redheat, i always set up identical named linux and windows users with identical passwords. === MF-41794 is now known as marss [03:23] redheat, makes it a lot easier. :) [03:23] absolutely..and thatś what I did.. [03:23] not to mention I used the same workgroup name .. [03:23] I dont know what's going on with vmware workstation on here... but here's the log if anyone wants to look: http://inky.pastebin.com/d4e8293c2 [03:23] hi, has any got vmware server running under gusty gibbin yet? [03:23] wastrel: not sure about feisty. but i too wanna save power. the thing is it goes blank when I'm watching movies =( [03:24] Why would Ubuntu load old ATI drivers? [03:24] nm [03:24] got it [03:24] tap the mouse every ten minutes? [03:24] Tiago_, yes. :) theres a little patch thing ya have to use. I saw a guide somewhere.. let me see [03:24] shadeofgrey, Just go to System -> Administration -> Gnome Parttion Editor and delete the fat partition before you start the installer [03:24] just 'remember'? [03:24] it says dek=lete /dev/sda3 and dev/sda4 if they exist and create an ext3 p[art on "/" [03:24] thanks Dr_Willis [03:24] is there a command to open an application in a specific desktop? [03:25] c0Ld: if you want automation on opening certain applications on certain desktops, you could look into Devil's Pie as an option [03:25] I want my gnome panel to completely autohide. Right now it shows the last 5-6 pixels when "hidden"... Any idea where I can change that? [03:25] Tiago_, http://www.ubuntuhq.com/content/how-install-vmware-server-ubuntu-7.10 [03:25] elninja: maybe gconf-editor [03:25] ok Dr_willis, the problem is like this, on Ubuntu I see al lthe windows shared files and folders..but when I try to manipulate them they ask me for a password ...and I don't know what it is? [03:25] wobblywu: I want to start certain programs on certain desktops when I boot up using the sessions application provided in gutsy -- will Devil's Pie work for that? [03:25] wastrel, thanks I'll check there [03:26] c0Ld: no, but devil's pie will do something fairly similar [03:26] anyone know a good offline blog editor on ubuntu? [03:26] shadeofgrey, That's what the automatic partitioning will do as long as you delete /dev/sda3 / 4 before starting the installer [03:26] redheat, thats why i make a windows user and password. xp pro i think has some settings to allow no passwords. But i always practice good security and have all users with passwords. [03:26] I never use a password to share files andfolders among my network nodes.. [03:26] c0Ld: it can be setup to always open certain programs, e.g. Firefox, on certain desktops on open [03:26] c0Ld: so any time you'd open firefox it'd open on desktop #4 [03:27] try making a user with a password and see if it works.. [03:27] Dr_Wills, I already have a username and password on windows xp pro, when I tried to use it to enter it refues to let me in [03:27] okay but it specifically says that bootcamp will freak out if i make more than two partitions [03:27] did you set up the user & password on the linux side? [03:27] you have to do that even if you've got a domain controller [03:27] Dr_Willis, i tryed this howto a few days ago, for some reason i cant get it to perform a manual install, it fails to copy one of the scripts even though im root [03:27] the linux user has a password AND a 'samba' password. (set with smbpasswd) [03:28] so i should make one ext3 as "/ [03:28] so i should make 1 ext3 part as "/" and then one for swap right? [03:28] shadeofgrey, I don't know why it says that, I have added 4 :) [03:28] Tiago_, ive used it on 3 different machines just fine. [03:28] hey I got it ..itś working now.. [03:28] shadeofgrey: um you have to put linux on its own partation, and one for swap [03:28] yay! [03:28] Jordan_U your running ubuntu on a mac? [03:28] shadeofgrey, Just delete the fat partition and let ubuntu install on the free space [03:28] redheat, ive noticed that windows can be brain dead about seeign changes to the samba bnetworks. It maybe caching things., [03:28] thanks dudes/dudettes..truely appreciate it.. [03:28] shadeofgrey, On a first revision macbook pro :) [03:29] <|neon|> how do i install screenlets? thx === GNUdog|away is now known as GNUdog [03:29] Dr_Willis, why do you think its not copying the services.sh file across? i tryed doing it manualy and it still said it couldnt copy it? [03:29] shadeofgrey, I have helped you before :) [03:29] wobblywu: That'd work! The applications I want opened at start stay in a specific desktop anyway. Thanks for the suggestion :) [03:29] okay great [03:29] so [03:29] i bnoot the liveCD [03:29] then i delete the fat partition BEFORE running the installer [03:29] c0Ld: no problem. of course feel free to ask in here for more help once you get stuck with it [03:29] no no you were right..I signed in into the windows shared files and folders with the wrong username, actually I used the ubuntu username which is wrong, when I corrected that and used the windows username it worked.. [03:29] cool [03:29] c0Ld: google should provide you with enough information though [03:29] When I do a `glxinfo` I get this printed like 10 times: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". [03:30] then I run the installer and let it auto pastition the free space [03:30] Tiago_, no idea there. I did the install on 3 machines all at the same time last week. [03:30] I seem to need this extension to play a game, but I've been unable to fix it [03:30] shadeofgrey, Yup [03:30] does anybody have any solutions? [03:30] wastrel, yep. found it in there. thanks! [03:30] Phaqui, what video card? [03:30] NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 [03:30] I keep getting this error (Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!) when trying to install Ubuntu (first time :<) [03:31] Why would sudo module-assistant prepare,update not be able to create a symlink in /usr/src/linux [03:31] Phaqui, you did install the nvidia drivers? [03:31] Jordan_U okay - lets assume i screw up and things go to hell. how do i delete every partirtion off the disk and then boot from my superduper image and do a complete restortre? [03:31] yes, at least my restricted drivers manager says they are [03:31] Phaqui: I have that on my mythtv box and its always worked for the last year or so [03:31] Has anyone in here been successful in running Rationals Purify on Ubuntu? [03:31] never had any problems :| [03:31] me neither [03:31] Dr_Willis, one question, when you try to view the ubuntu shared files and folders from windows xp, and you get prompted to enter a username or password..is that the username you entered in the samba config..or ubuntu's main username.. [03:31] I wonder if compiz has a "switch off monitor" setting in gutsy? [03:31] ? === Hirvinen_ is now known as Hirvinen [03:31] but when I upgraded to 7.10 nothing seemed to work [03:32] shadeofgrey, Do you have another mac? [03:32] Jordan_U -- and once you installed Ubuntu 7.10 did you have to do anything crazy to get the full ati graphics driver to work? Because I have a 24" widescreen display i want to use as my main rather than the one on my macbookpro [03:32] neither my screen nor my graphics card is found, it says, during every startup [03:32] so I'm running in "low-graphics mode" [03:32] Jordan_U no but i ghave my Tiger install CD's right here [03:33] viciouspotato: you will need to pass the kernel an option to turn off the APIC probing/features I believe, I think there is an option to do so in the live CD menus that initially appear [03:33] Also, if I check what drivers I'm using, it says I'm using "vesa" drivers [03:33] Hmm. [03:33] Time zone change in South Australia was yesterday (daylight savings kicked in). Now my clock is showing that time is 30 mins. ahead of schedule. Is this a bug with the time server configuration at ntp.ubuntu.com? [03:33] What IS apic? [03:33] Phaqui, check the xorg.conf file - see what Driver 'nvidia' or Driver "vesa" its using I guess [03:33] hm [03:33] viciouspotato: it is a "standard" for controlling low level features implement on motherboards in many flaky and incompatible ways [03:34] if something bad happens ill just boot from my superduper image drive and do a restopte [03:34] ikswntr that the best thing to do? [03:34] says it's using "nvidia" [03:34] mycroftiv: I see.. thanks, I'll have a poke aronud and see if I can disable it. See you soon, from ubuntu, hopefully. ;p [03:35] and there's also a Section "Module"\nLoad "glx"\nEndSection [03:35] shadeofgrey, Yes, have you tested to make sure that the drive is bootable? I assume you actually mirrored the drive onto the external rather than just saving the drive image as a file, correct? [03:35] I made some programs in C++, will they still work with Ubuntu? [03:35] billenium: depends on hte librarys you used [03:35] You have to recompile it [03:35] that to [03:35] ic [03:35] billenium, What libraries did you use? [03:35] Jordan_U correct -- my drive image external disk is fully bootable [03:35] h/o [03:36] shadeofgrey, Then you can just boot from it and use super duper to image back to the hard drive [03:36] hello whats the first command used in compiling if all i have is a makefile? [03:36] Does anyone here know how to get a nintendo 64 emulator to work by chance? [03:36] <|neon|> does lotu s symphony works with gutsy? [03:36] hello all, anyone good with firewall..Ubuntu [03:36] Capa1, Yes, use mupen [03:36] firestarter is a good firewall lightman [03:36] How can it be that my "Screens and Graphics" utility says I'm using "vesa" drivers, while the /etc/X11/xorg.conf says I'm using "nvidia" ? [03:36] Jordan_U: It doesn't seem to be working === cryptnix is now known as [Andrew] [03:36] Phaqui, bug maybe? [03:37] Capa1, It doesn't come as a .deb file but you just have to decompress it and run it === [Andrew] is now known as cryptnix [03:37] Capa1, How are you trying to run it? [03:37] yes use firestarter,, keep gettign hits on port 1026, 1027, 1028 [03:37] Jordan_U -- but before i do the restore id have to run the disk utility while booted into the image drive and delete all the other partitions first right? [03:37] whats the first command used in compiling if all i have is a makefile? [03:37] Well... === Capa1 is now known as CapaH [03:38] hi any one keen to help me set up dual head ati with fglrx drivers + xgl on gusty gibbon? [03:38] #include #include [03:38] it's weird [03:38] shadeofgrey, Yes. There is about a .0000001% chance of your OSx partition being messed up though :) [03:38] Jordan_U: I cd mupen64 then type: ./mupen64 [03:38] shadeofgrey, The "dangerous" part was resizing the partition, and you've done that already [03:38] and what is the admin password for getting into programs like gparted and stuff under administration... or do i have to set one somehow? [03:38] ubotu is dead :-( [03:39] shadeofgrey, The liveCD doesn't ask for a password to run them [03:39] DShepherd, But we still have ubot3 :) [03:39] Jordan_U, ah [03:39] if I try to disable the "restricted drivers", my desktop runs at a higher resolution (i.e. not in "low-graphics mode"). if I enable them, gnome runs in "low-graphics" mode, because it "can't detect my screen nor my graphics card" [03:39] Jordan_U: When I try that, ./mupen64 --- it RUNS, but when I load a ROM it just gives me a nice black screen [03:39] Jordan_U cant i just tell Superduper to delete all partitions on the disk, make a new one, and popiulate it with every file in the image? [03:39] ahoy: i'm trying to get virtual box (non-free) installed; this page (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) has the instructions, but i'm not sure how to get the key and add it and whatnot ... can somebody please translate the instructions into commands? [03:39] hi, i have a broadcom wireless card BCM4328, its detected with ndiswrapper, i can see my essid, but cannot connect to them. what haps? [03:39] CapaH, What ROM? [03:40] !firewall | lightman [03:40] lightman: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [03:40] Hello I have a problem I have a USB wireless mouse logitech lx70 and a basic ps2 keyboard and when i boot into gutsy gibbon the keyboard doesnt work when it is up and all unless i have my lesser ps2 mouse plugged into the ps2 port any help would be much appreciated [03:40] shadeofgrey, I have only used Super Duper once so I don't remember. But it's pretty strait foreward [03:40] Jordan_U, thanks for that information. I really appreciate this [03:40] Dr_Willis are you there? [03:40] sorry for bothering.. [03:40] yes i use Gnome, but keep getting his on ports , 1026 [03:41] DShepherd, np [03:41] lightman, i dont know much about firewalls on ubuntu. i dont use them on ubuntu [03:41] has any one managed to get dual head working under gusty on an ati running fglrx + xgl? [03:41] Jordan_U: So any ideas? [03:42] Jordan_U as long as i can boot from my superrduper image disk i can use the disk utility in tiger to delete all partitions except my mac one and then repl;ace the entire mac partition with the one on the external drive righty? [03:42] stop using xgl and the dual moniters will work properly [03:42] is it possible to install cygwin on ubuntu? [03:42] CapaH, What ROM? [03:42] Zelda 64 [03:42] I am having problems with my laptop freezing, (7.10) haven't been able to pin down any particular cause, what log files can I look in to give me an idea? [03:42] Ocarina [03:42] shadeofgrey, Yup [03:42] there is a new driver from ati coming that will fix it [03:42] bill: why? [03:42] ok DShephard [03:42] i need to run cygwin [03:42] bill: why? [03:43] to compile something [03:43] Jordan_U okay then - im off -- hopefully ill see you in an hour or so from my new ubuntu install [03:43] it is synonymous across all distros [03:43] won't it complie with gcc? [03:43] I am not sure, it needed all these specially settings [03:43] hi im lookin to download a messenger for hotmail to use [03:43] I need help on this problem, I've already set a connection for sharing files and folders between my ubuntu machine and my windows xp machine.. [03:43] it should compile with the same settings in native gcc [03:44] format XP and use str8 ubuntu ;) [03:44] viktor: use pidgin [03:44] how to automatically login [03:44] whats the problem [03:44] but i had to download different settings from a seperate mirror site [03:44] its to compile Rockbox [03:44] My "Time and Date" window is blank when I try and change the time. What is wrong? [03:44] #ubuntu-devel [03:44] oops [03:44] microsoft likes to keep ubuntu and windows not playing together [03:44] gee i say firewall, then i get hits...lol [03:44] now the problem is each one of them shows in an entirely differnt workgroup..I have already called my WIndows xp machineś work group=Redheat..and I also tried to change the name of my ubuntu group in to Redheat.. [03:44] Jordan_U: When I open the ROM I just get a black window and nothing happens [03:44] ahoy: i'm trying to get virtual box (non-free) installed; this page (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) has the instructions, but i'm not sure how to get the key and add it and whatnot ... can somebody please translate the instructions into commands? [03:44] i dont have pigeion installed onli that crap kopete [03:44] how do i sintall pigeon [03:45] CapaH, What ROM? [03:45] Jordan_U: Zelda 64 Ocarina of Time [03:45] Can someone verify that my problem with gnome running in low-graphics mode when my restricted NVIDIA drivers are in use is not a Gnome bug? [03:45] viktor: you should have gaim or pidgin already [03:45] under the network folder, I see 2 different workgroups..one of them called redheat which has my windows xp computer listed under it, and the other is MSHOME with my ubuntu laptop listed under it..? does anyone know how to correct this..I mean if both could be under the same work group? [03:45] which one is acting as the server the XP machine or Ubuntu? [03:45] Because I hardly think it is. [03:46] viktor_, apt-get install pidgin [03:46] Blah. [03:46] thank you [03:46] Hey...can someone give me a hand here? [03:46] BubblegumTate, maybe he's not using ubuntu [03:46] God damn, 1222 people (minus a few bots I guess), and nobody is able to help [03:46] how to automatically login [03:46] =( [03:46] * tomd123 gives hand [03:46] restart both systems after changing the workgroups to the same name [03:46] * DShepherd hands Buckler a hand [03:46] Thanks tom...one minute... [03:46] Dshep: what a strange idea [03:46] Phaqui: What is the problem exactly [03:46] I get past the error using 'noapic' ... the ubuntu loading screen thing comes, then it goes away leaving me with this error - "udevd-event [2157] : run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit" [03:46] boy howdie this is a common problem ive had in the past [03:46] Phaqui, i dont think its a bug no, its incorrect driver install [03:47] CapaH, Have you tried the other rendering plugins? [03:47] i got it to work using vmware [03:47] Jordan_U: No, how do I do that [03:47] this will take 30 seconds of somebody's time, so please: i'm trying to get virtual box (non-free) installed; this page (http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) has the instructions, but i'm not sure how to get the key and add it and whatnot ... can somebody please translate the instructions into commands? [03:47] has any one managed to get dual head working under gusty on an ati running fglrx + xgl? [03:47] trying to member as i dont use windows anymore [03:47] hi ever one [03:48] pawan, system-admin-login window, security tab [03:48] pawan, System>Administration>Login Window>security [03:48] buttercups, beat you ;-) [03:48] Tiago_ XGL is going to be supported in the new ati driver fer now just wait [03:48] =P [03:48] hello, I would like to know how to mount my ntfs partition, I upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10, but the windows partition did not mount as in 7.04 [03:48] The problem is that when I have enabled my restricted NVIDIA drivers thru the restricted drivers manager, gnome starts in "low-graphics mode", and it seems GLX (or basically running OpenGL programs) doesn't work. [03:48] Every time I start my computer I have to modprobe ndiswrapper. What do I do so that I don't have to do that every time, so that my wireless adapter is recognized and started automatically? [03:48] or disable XGL [03:48] CapaH, Option -> Configure Try Glide 64, also remember to setup the controlls [03:48] BubblegumTate, kinda [03:48] Ricket: Are you black listing the device? [03:48] ATI has been gay but is getting better [03:48] Jordan_U: Only TR64 exists in the options under Configure [03:48] viciouspotato: it sounds like you are having some hardware compatibility issues, you might try googling for your motherboard and other hardware along with ubuntu or linux to see if others have issues/fixes [03:48] cwgannon, just download the .deb file under Virtualbox 1.5.2 for Linux Hosts Ubuntu 7.10 [03:49] Ha! people still having this amny issue with the ATI driver? [03:49] InterceptorX: not that I know of... i haven't done anything with the blacklist, it's at the default... and if it were blacklisted, wouldn't that mean that it wouldn't start or something? [03:49] Evanlec: i've tried, but it tells me it is available through a repository and so i must install that way [03:49] I'm a 100% n00b with Ubuntu. Installed Gutsy today, and painfully got my Belkin USB 54g wireless adapter to work. I went through the update procedure, and all was fine. Now when I boot, I get the message "USB 3-8: device descriptor read /64, error -110", and my wifi is gone. It doesn't even show up as an option in the network manager. Did I hose my USB? [03:49] how can you kill a frozen application? [03:49] Evanlec: i'd prefer it installed that way anyway [03:49] christopher, is that why dual head doesnt work right now? because compiz-fusion is running fine [03:49] ATI's software is more a walker than a driver still [03:49] cwgannon, did u try sudo apt-get install virtualbox? [03:49] inversekinetix, xkill in a terminal [03:49] inversekinetix: xkill is a fun way, but clicking the [X] and waiting for it to kill for you is probably the superior option [03:49] If I on the other hand disable my restricted drivers, gnome runs fairly good (i.e. with no complains of not detecting my screen or graphcs card) [03:49] XGL isnt fully supported in the current ATI driver [03:49] it will be with 7.10 [03:50] 7.10 is already out.. [03:50] Phaqui, what kind of card u got? [03:50] Phaqui what card so you have? [03:50] wobblywu i dont need to wait anymore than the 5 mins ive already been waiting [03:50] NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 [03:50] Evanlec: yes, but i get an error about not having the key, so i'm looking for the commands to get that key [03:50] Ahah, yes! [03:50] inversekinetix: alt+f2, xkill [03:50] Jordan_U: How do I get the other rendering optinos, because the only one I see listed is an OpenGL [03:50] optinos [03:50] options! [03:50] mycroftiv: it's my motherboard - ASUS M2N4-SLI. [03:50] thanks [03:50] CapaH, That's strange, where did you download it from? [03:50] I have 7.04, I changed the sources.list file from every entry of feisty to gutsy and now did apt-get dist-upgrade [03:50] Anyone here willing to give out some ndiswrapper help? [03:50] do i need to do anything else? [03:50] christopher, is this the driver im running or the open driver? [03:51] Nyle, DO NOT do that! [03:51] Jordan_U: The mupen64 site :) [03:51] why? [03:51] Nyle, Change your sources.list back [03:51] !upgrade | Nyle [03:51] Nyle: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [03:51] Jordan_U: what why? [03:51] `uname -r` echoes "2.6.22-14-386", if it matters... [03:51] Nyle: what did you do that for? o_O [03:51] christopher, and by not fully supported do you meen just in dual head or more generaly? [03:51] Nyle, That is not as safe as using update-manager [03:51] (BTW, I'm in the XP half of my dual-boot machine, so no access to Ubuntu at the moment). [03:51] Mupen64 0.5 for Linux [03:51] they are releasing most of the source code with 7.10 there will be small portions still closed due to card issues [03:51] 看看经济 [03:51] and it will be 10 times faster [03:51] it has now taken 4 hours to get a mame front end working, now it is installed it wont read the roms! [03:52] * ViciousPotato goes try once again. [03:52] viciouspotato: have you checked your motherboard firmware version during bootup and looked on the asus website to see if its the most recent version available? [03:52] Jordan_U: wobblywu: what exactly is the difference? Why don't do dist-upgrade? [03:52] tomd123, still there? [03:52] CapaH, I downloaded from mupen's website, havn't added any plugins, and I see them ( and zelda 64 works great ) [03:52] i am not having login menu [03:52] the 7.10alpha i have tried and it works great but be warned it is marked alpha for a reason [03:52] cwgannon, try man apt-key [03:52] Nyle, update-manager does extra sanity checks [03:52] hey, i'm having a problem with sound on my Tecra A7 Toshiba laptop, i get low-volume sound... i've reinstalled alsa and checked alsamixer, any idea? [03:52] i am using kubuntu desktop [03:52] Jordan_U: for example? [03:52] christopher, so after this updated driver is released i should be able to set up dual monitors in the new display propertys package? [03:52] it worked for a month then caused a kernel panic lol [03:52] Does Ubuntu 7.10 use Xgl by default btw? [03:53] So I just upgraded my "server" from 7.04 -> 7.10 and the only thing that went kind of badly is that my raid5 array is not detected at boot, despite the fact that two raid1 arrays are *and* all the partition types are set to "fd". I can use mdadm to --assemble the raid5 array and everything works fine... still doesn't survive a reboot though. Any ideas? [03:53] Jordan_U: Strange [03:53] oh man [03:53] fglrx+aiglx is sweet [03:53] cwgannon, sudo apt-key list will list your keys [03:53] you can do that now but you cant use XGL or other 3d prettiness [03:53] Nyle, It won't let you upgrade if any packages are going to be held back [03:53] eyecandy is overrated tho [03:53] Jordan_U: mupen64-0.5.tar.bz2 ? [03:53] Jordan_U: nothing needed to be held back [03:53] Jordan_U: I had no packages on hold. [03:54] beryl crashed X on me and I had a heck of a time getting it back up n running [03:54] Are there any debian-friendly ways to keep multiple versions of wine installed at the same time? [03:54] Jordan_U: but what sanity checks are you talking about? [03:54] christopher, is such a hard one for me, at the moment im sacraficing 1 monitor for compiz-fusion [03:54] If I leave my windows partition hibernating, is it possible that when I load ubuntu, the ntfs partition is not mounted? [03:54] lol [03:54] Nyle, It's still safer to use update-manager or for a terminal version "sudo do-release-upgrade" [03:54] I am trying to use Tomboy Notes with WebDav -- and can't find a howto. Has anyone here done this? [03:54] ATI hasnt liked linux in the past [03:54] <_blitz_> if i add /media/sda9/* to the line of files to be indexed in beagle,do all files in sda9 get indexed? [03:55] I seem to have lost my benefactor. If anyone can help me, please scroll up to see a description of my problem. TIA. === _packetscan is now known as packetscan [03:55] Nyle, I don't know exactly, but dist-upgrading manually is explicitly not reccomended by the Ubuntu documentation [03:55] Jordan_U: sure, which is fine and dandy, but you've still not given me any real reasons as to why I shouldn't use dist-upgrade [03:55] Jordan_U: Slim chance it could be my ROM -- where did you get yours? [03:55] Nyle, Not that it won't work, but it's not as safe [03:55] christopher, so nvidia users havent experianced any similar problems? [03:55] Jordan_U: whats not safe? [03:55] Jordan_U: like the way ubuntu tells you to restart your pc like windows? [03:55] but due to dell and all ATI has been forced basically to be more linux friendly [03:55] that kinda safe? [03:55] <_blitz_> if i add /media/sda9/* to the line of files to be indexed in beagle,do all files in sda9 get indexed? [03:55] thus releasing the source code thank Jesus [03:56] Nyle, I don't know, you probably won't have any problems with a dist-upgrade, but why risk it? [03:56] Jordan_U: why not risk it? [03:56] christopher, what f00ls, can they not see there is no future with out linux? [03:56] Jordan_U: its nothing I can't handle :) [03:56] Nyle, Because there is no benefit, and it's riskier :) [03:56] i say card manufacturers should completely open the source and not make drivers imho [03:56] christopher: source to what? [03:56] Jordan_U: I appreciate your concern. Thank you for looking out for me [03:56] Tiago_ dont be a troll [03:57] Jordan_U: I'll try it anyway! [03:57] hehe [03:57] A little help here? Anyone? This channel was highly recommended :) [03:57] <_blitz_> if i add /media/sda9/* to the line of files to be indexed in beagle,do all files in sda9 get indexed? [03:57] Nyle, Have fun :) [03:57] sparr, the source for their video card drivers [03:57] I can't wait for my free cds [03:57] Evanlec: except he said they shouldnt make drivers... [03:57] Hey can some help set a default resoulition on a box that doesn [03:57] christopher, my appologys, though i agree, about manufacturers should take a compleatly open source aproch to drivers [03:58] if I had 500kb/s internet it would be no problem, but I now switched to 80kb/s internet, much cheaper [03:58] sparr, i duno [03:58] less work for them [03:58] christopher, it would solve so many problems [03:58] but slow as turtles [03:58] hola alguno me puede decir como veo las configuraciones de COMPIZ [03:58] actually they would lose money from microsoft paying them off not to do such things [03:58] Buckler, just ask your question good buddy [03:58] Hey can some help set a default resolution on a box that doesn't have a monitor plugged in, I use VNC to get in. It only gives me 800x600 option [03:59] Done already, buttercups...if you'd be so kind as to scroll up? [03:59] hey, i'm having a problem with sound on my Tecra A7 Toshiba laptop, i get low-volume sound... i've reinstalled alsa and checked alsamixer, any idea? [03:59] vbabiy: specify -geoetry 1024x768 [03:59] Nyle: what section of the xorg [03:59] vbabiy: specify -geoetry wxh [03:59] vbabiy: on the vncserver line [03:59] to the discussion without trolling why would make a claim as to Linux not having a future? [04:00] Nyle: where would i do that I used the gui to set it up [04:00] vbabiy: like vncserver -depth 24 -geometry 1024x78 :1 [04:00] etc. [04:00] christopher, so microsoft is using money they stole selling inferior software to force people to continue using inferior software? they have become a cancer in human evolution much like education and religion [04:00] ican't help you [04:00] I don't use guis [04:00] just launch vncserver through cli [04:00] Jordan_U: This is very strange, I just downloaded it again right off the site -- .bz2 file -- extracted it again, and again I only have that one option in configure -- any ideas [04:00] lol Tiago_, well said [04:00] exactly [04:00] its always been that way [04:00] Anyone help with ndiswrapper> [04:00] theyre supposedly updating vista without users consent now ;) [04:01] and yeah, exactly, its always been that way [04:01] tyler2435: "now"?

[04:02] for hmm [04:02] hmm* [04:02] win2k was too good [04:02] they would have lost money [04:02] But it is recognized and ndiswrapper knows its PCI address [04:02] and has the proper driver installed for it [04:03] have you rebooted since installing? [04:03] No [04:03] didnt think I'd need to. [04:03] christopher, do you know of any ati drivers availible for gusty that would support dual head and compiz-fusion? [04:03] the new 7.10 [04:03] it will be out soon [04:04] Well, you're loading a whole new device, I would.. I rebooted with ndiswrapper after I installed my Linksys card [04:04] excelent :) [04:04] 7.10 is so godly [04:04] I see a kernel message in /var/log/messages [04:04] * MilitantPotato got the new ATI drivers working finally, goodbye XGL! [04:04] Ubuntu has grown so much since the Warty Warthog betas... Can't believe that was over 3-4 years ago [04:04] says ACPI: PCI interrupt for device (Wlan Card) disabled [04:04] why would that be.. [04:04] ill reboot. [04:04] whats the first command used in compiling if all i have is a makefile? [04:04] hmm [04:05] meoblast001: no .configure file? [04:05] yeah reboot, I'll be here when you get back if it works or not Nilson [04:05] no [04:05] or i could g++ since its only 1 file [04:05] I'm on my mac right now, Im sitting beside the one im working on [04:05] but i dont know what to use [04:05] its OpenGL and SDL [04:05] meoblast001: you can just g++ if its one file [04:05] whats the g++ command [04:05] otherwise make makefile [04:05] it is one file [04:05] oh cool [04:06] make -f makefile [options] [targets] [04:06] man make [04:06] So anyone know why AIGLX in ATI 8.42.3 is so terrible? lol [04:06] i dont know the linkers for Open GL [04:06] maybe linux is the rapture the bibile spoke of, all the ignorant masses are stuck in "hell" using windows and we are beemed into hyperspace by our grand architect and messionic pinguin god?

She bought a new widescreen LCD monitor today and I couldn't get the correct resolution in windows [04:07] so I said f-it and installed Ubuntu [04:07] heh [04:07] I am about as n00b as they come WRT Ubuntu. I have about one day's experience. I rather painfully got my Belkin USB 54G wireless dongle to work, then applied updates. Now, on boot, I get the message "USB 3-8: Device Descriptor Read /64, Error -110". Did I hose my USB ports? Any advice would be appreciated. Unfortunately, since I'm on a dual-boot machine, I can't access Ubuntu to do diagnostics at the moment. [04:08] Is there a way to bypass the splash screen on startup. I want to see verbose.

[04:09] Buckler: I cant help with your issue but booting to the live cd might give you a chance to be able to diagnose and get online [04:09] My "Screen and Graphics Preferences" utility says I'm using "generic" drivers, while I'm using a "not-generic version" of the kernel, can this be a problem? [04:09] is there any external type ram testing platforms available to anyone [04:09] theres no button to push to temporarily disable it [04:09] pidgin运行不了 [04:09] copy and paste that command, it will do it nilson [04:09] freaking set freaks :) [04:09] Thanks, Idle.

It's not a real problem it's just ugly and annoying [04:10] My wireless entirely vanished. It's not even an option now. [04:10] uhm [04:10] Laserbeast: Go to gdm-setup [04:10] Laserbeast: probably GDM [04:11] Laserbeast: I just set that bg to black [04:11] !wifi | Buckler take a look at this it might help [04:11] Buckler take a look at this it might help: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [04:11] Yeah, I set it to black but it didn't do anything [04:11] I just formatted my flash drive to ext3 and I can't write files to it, how do I enable it to do so [04:11] * nilson sighs, Ubuntu startup keeps freezing at a certain point.

I'm still wondering, though, if it's a USB issue rather than a wireless one, per se. [04:12] brad016: type mount and see how the options are [04:13] mssever, kay [04:13] Buckler: may be but start with the wireless part and see if there isnt anything you can do there [04:13] !splash | keitherz [04:13] keitherz: To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.

[04:13] Okay, I'll try that. I understand, though, that I can kill and re-load the USB drivers on the fly, yes? [04:13] hey everybody of #ubuntu! How is it going tonight? [04:13] Buckler: FYI it helps to type out the persons entire name so they can keep up with you when it is busy... slow now but it does get alot busier in here at times [04:13] themoebius: killall compiz I think will work at a terminal.

I had the .inf and .sys from the original CD, it still wouldn't work. I got it working somehow one day and then WEP/WPA wouldn;t work [04:16] brb checking for you [04:16] Buckler: you too and hope you get that USB straightened out [04:17] buckler: most likely your USB subsystem is controlled by a loaded kernel module, there are a variety of tools for checking on them and loading/unloading them but I'm not familiar with USB wireless at all so I'm not going to recommend anthing [04:17] 'nite!

[04:17] Anyone here running dual monitors on Gutsy? Can I have a copy of your xorg.conf [04:17] yes [04:17] hey Nyle if i set that in the /etc/vnc.conf that should also work right? [04:17] esnip: Any error messages? [04:18] nilson, do an lspci and send me it via PM [04:18] unstable, It doesn't work that way, you can't use another person's xorg.conf unless they have the same hardware [04:18] and when i try to download it here in desktop editon i can so it's no broken link problem [04:18] Jordan_U: sure you can [04:18] unstable: I totally am, but I'm sorry I'm not at home and can't give you one :( My best advice is to use nvidia-settings program if using nvidia, or the built in graphical tool they have for it [04:18] Jordan_U: Just change the resolutions and driver [04:18] unstable, Have you tried System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics? [04:18] Laserbeast: different computer [04:19] Laserbeast: Ill type the line to you in a pm [04:19] unstable, And if that works then Screens and Graphics should also [04:19] for the card [04:19] Jordan_U: yea, that took sucks [04:19] esnip: Any error messages? Or can you use curl? [04:19] it only shows one monitor, and it doesn't let me add a monitor [04:19] nilson, no problem. It should just identify it uses the RaLink chipset..

[04:23] Yeah, it's not giving you 'wlanX' [04:23] Laserbeast, No, it's supported [04:24] Jordan_U, oh :-X [04:24] esnip: Well, something must have changed, because that hostname isn't working for me, either [04:24] rainwalker [04:24] maxagaz: mhmm [04:24] also whe i use apt-get sometimes it starts downloading and then freezes [04:24] Laserbeast, http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/?go=devices [04:24] keitherz: yes...? [04:24] Well there ya go :) [04:25] nilson, Unblacklist bcm43xx and grab the file that restricted manager needs from another computer [04:25] er... i'm downloading it again [04:25] maxagaz: echo -e "this\ntest" [04:25] wow [04:25] ubuntu is so well documented [04:25] lol [04:25] help.ubuntu.com is awesome [04:25] Jordan_U.. not sure waht file it is? [04:25] nickrud: do you know much about partitioning? [04:25] esnip: So the site came back up? [04:25] nickrud: ok, but i can't use it in my php-cli script... [04:26] nilson, It gives you a URL to get it from when you try to enable it in Restricted Manager [04:26] rainwalker: enough to get it done .. [04:26] It just says "The software source for the package bcm43xx-fwcutter is not enabled" [04:26] what could this be? i can download it from a computer and not from other and apparenly also u can't?!! [04:26] nickrud: well, how much space should my friend allocate for an Ubuntu install to dual boot with Vista? [04:26] nickrud: assuming Vista will be the primary OS [04:26] rainwalker: ive done that personally before, how big is his hdd? [04:26] My god. Anyone here had experience using an ASUS MSN4-SLI and Ubuntu? [04:27] if i format a usb stick as linux-swap will ubuntu use it as swap like vista uses ready boost [04:27] esnip: Weird. What if you use the IP address instead of the hostname? 66.35.250.217 [04:27] Why [04:27] !anyone | ViciousPotato [04:27] ViciousPotato: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [04:27] rainwalker: I'd suggest 15gb, that give about 5gb for ample apps & 10 for him. [04:27] <_Keef_> How can I stop daylight savings on my ubuntu server? [04:27] yeah [04:27] i set mine for 20gb [04:27] Jordan_U: Compatibility issues. If anyone has had experience with them, they'd know. [04:27] tyler2435: I'm not sure, hang on a sec and I'll try to find out [04:27] HELP LLAMA ATTACK [04:28] with a 250gb drive even [04:28] viciouspotato: have you checked the bios firmware version on your motherboard at bootup and looked on asus website to see if it is most recent? [04:28] Plug it in after dark....j/k. [04:28] _Keef_: set your timezone to one that doesn't use DST [04:28] but you should have at least 15-20 [04:28] mine has 20 [04:28] i dont really use it anymore, because i have a gentoo install and my centos server [04:28] Hmm.. it seems that whenever I activate the restricted drivers (and then reboot), my pc ends up using the "vesa" drivers. Is this correct? [04:28] <_Keef_> _Keef_: is it suppose to be, how can I reset it? [04:28] <_Keef_> *mssever: opps [04:28] maxagaz: for php, \r\n [04:28] any of u go on unet [04:28] !w32codecs [04:28] Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs [04:28] My friend is using S-Video Out on his X1950XT, would that just be a xorg.conf hack? What would we have to do [04:28] ViciousPotato, Not once have I ever seen a question phrased like yours answered. [04:29] Amazing. === BaD-Laptop is now known as BaD_CrC [04:29] _Keef_: tzconfig [04:29] msserver: i'm trying that now but it's taking too long so i guess it doesn't work also :\ [04:29] ViciousPotato: I guess you like to live to your nick [04:29] nickrud: do you have any idea what the minimum space required would be? [04:29] because here the download was pretty quick [04:29] ViciousPotato, Just ask about how to fix problem X with hardware Y, you may still not get an answer but you are more likely too [04:29] minimum? [04:30] itd be a couple gigs, Rainbow_Eyes^m [04:30] rainwalker* [04:30] my bad [04:30] alot of fucking users [04:30] lol [04:30] mycroftiv: Sorry ... yes, I've updated to the most recent BIOS firmware (1202) [04:30] but you want at least 20 or so [04:30] ubuntus [04:30] <_Keef_> mssever: thanks [04:30] yo dudes [04:30] rainwalker: 2gb is just about the minimum, with no wiggle room at all. For just experimenting, 5gb would do [04:30] VLC plays my DVD..And I installed libdvdcss for totem...The problem is ,totem does not play past the disclaimer....any suggestions. [04:30] what about gusty w32codecs? [04:30] esnip: That's weird. I'm afraid I don't know any more than what I've already suggested [04:30] hi, I have a quick question. I am installing ubuntu right now (7.10) and I want to format my current drive and add two partitions, one for /home the other for / ... I'm using manual, and I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. [04:30] tyler2435: a couple = 2? [04:30] yeah [04:31] ~ that [04:31] but you want 20 or so [04:31] for a good system [04:31] if youre planning on using it [04:31] (At least) [04:31] mycroftiv: there's a post on the ubuntu forums ... all of the stuff recommended in there, the only one that worked was removing 'quiet' from the boot options [04:31] Radio_man: could be a bug with totem, try another DVD and see if totem still stops there. If VLC is playing it, I would bet totem bug :( [04:31] viciouspotato: if you have current firmware and you have tried using kernel boot options such as noapic and the live cd still crashes during the initial splash screen load, im not sure what to recommend [04:31] any 1 got smtp gmail to work on evolution? [04:31] gavintlgold: Sounds good [04:31] like nickrud asid, if youre experimenting, you could have 5 [04:31] msserver: thaks anyway [04:31] when i try to enable visual effects in Gnome, i get the error "The Composite Extension is not Available" [04:31] K..t/y dxdt. [04:31] Is there a way to format unpartitioned space to NTFS in ubuntu? [04:31] I chose to delete the current partition, and added two new partitions, mssever [04:31] nuckinfuts, ATI ? [04:31] the ubuntu install takes up ~2gigs [04:31] you can determine how much more you need [04:31] mycroftiv: yeah, it still crashes with noapic. removing quiet worked, but it went funky colours after it finished 'loading' [04:32] They are walmart type dvd's..maybe thats the problem.. [04:32] what about gusty w32codecs? [04:32] mssever: one had mount point / and the other had mount point /home/gavin ... is that correct? or what should the second mount point be? [04:32] what do I use for gusty codecs? [04:32] gavintlgold: As long as you're OK with losing all data currently on the partition you deleted, than it's fine [04:32] seveas makes only feisty stuff [04:32] Nyle: the codecs are the codecs, you can use the feisty ones. [04:32] gavintlgold: The second mount point should be /home [04:32] mssever: yes, that's fine, i just want to make sure where to put my mount point for the home [04:32] Jordan_U dude i owe you a bottle of whatever youy like to derink best -- the install worked! none of the hardware really works right yet but the install worked! im niow dual booting mac and ubuntu 7.10! [04:32] just /home ? ok :) thanks [04:32] Jordan_U, yes i have an ATI X800XT AIW AGP 8x card, with restricted drivers installed [04:32] tyler2435: he wants to know if he'd be able t access his files on the Vista partition if he booted into Ubuntu [04:32] Nyle, The medubuntu repository [04:32] Hm. [04:33] gavintlgold: just /home [04:33] I'll try one last thing before giving up. :< [04:33] Nyle: the codecs are just a grouping of binary blobs, they are the same for all distros & releases [04:33] rainwalker: uhhh, depends if ubuntu has the software to read NTFS, but, i dont recommend trying stuff like that [04:33] its more advanced [04:33] and youre waiting to do something wrong [04:33] possibly [04:33] mssever: and one more thing, how much do you recommend I allocate to /, and how much to /home ? [04:33] ntfs-3g is built into 7.10 :/ [04:33] w00t! upgrade to gutsy seems to have gone well. [04:33] i have 250GB tops [04:33] how would i set the default resolution on vino-server [04:33] tyler2435: well, I think it's going to be either a deal-maker or breaker [04:33] nuckinfuts, fglrx does not support AIGLX ( well the newest drivers do, but they are horrible ) [04:33] nickrud: so I could even grab them from mplayer.hu and throw them in /lib/codecs or wherever there go [04:33] rainwalker: eyah [04:33] yeah* [04:33] rainwalker: reading is just fine, no issues. There is write available, many claim no problems but I don't [04:34] you can always install it [04:34] and uninstall it [04:34] Laserbeast / Jordan_U: I'm burning the bcm43xx-fwcutter package to a CD to install on the PC in question. I really don't have any other way to transfer files between the two computers. I hope it doenst need to download much more.. [04:34] mssever: i have 70GB going to / ... is that reasonable? [04:34] Jordan_U: really horrible [04:34] im getting ready to go to bed [04:34] what a PITA. [04:34] but heres some advice [04:34] Nyle: any idea how to do that in vino [04:34] gavintlgold: I'd give / at least 10GB if you plan on installing a bunch of software, and the rest to /home [04:34] Jordan_U all i ask og you now is guidance as to how to sdet up dual monitor support, set up my wireless networking and set my cooling fan speed to 5000 [04:34] use gparted for partition managing [04:34] before installing [04:34] shadeofgrey, Ok, go to System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager to get full resolution and 3D acceleration [04:34] gparted.sf.net i think [04:34] No problem nilson, Let us know how it goes [04:34] it might be an idea to use two separate hdds for the ubuntu and windows installations [04:34] and closely follow a readme/guide [04:34] Jordan_U, so atm, i cant run any 3D acceleration or advanced gnome appearence? [04:34] makes everything easier imo [04:34] im going to bed, nn [04:34] Nyle: precisely, but medibuntu or seveas provides debs, it integrates better into the system, if they ever change [04:34] how can i allow internet use on a user that is not an admnistrtor under ubuntu server? [04:34] nickrud: well this friend isn't very tech-savvy, and he's dealing with Vista, so what do you recommend? === jared_ is now known as KI4IKL [04:35] hi all... stupid newbie question. How do I change the default application of an extention? like .torrent? I hate the bittorent app and like qbittorrent and want that as the default [04:35] where does the mysql folder go an ubuntu server install [04:35] mssever: i like experimenting with software... i just want to make sure i'm not stuck with not enough space to install things [04:35] nuckinfuts, Just compiz effects, you can run other 3D applications [04:35] Jordan_U: so horrible, that even though I have 8.42.3 I glxinfo still doesn't list GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap or something, and compiz doesn't run because that EXT is not supported by direct OR indirect rendering. I am using latest 8.42.3 fglrx on X1900XT [04:35] rainwalker: like i said, follow a guide very very closely [04:35] gavintlgold: The GParted LiveCD will let you resize partitions after you install if you need to [04:35] i had somoene walk me through it [04:35] but its not horribly hard [04:35] rainwalker: just go with the default, read. mention e2explorer (sp?) for reading his ubuntu from vista [04:35] which was the reason I installed ubuntu I was happy with XP Pro x64 [04:35] tyler2435: can you recommend any specific guides? [04:35] ill find one [04:35] gavintlgold: If you've got that much space, it wouldn't hurt to allocate more [04:35] 1m [04:35] but any idea why this is happening [04:35] Jordan_U -- okay... and how ddo you recommend i make the system set its cooling fan speed to sa constant rate of like 5000 - because the cooling system didntyengage at all by itself and the system got really really hot really fast [04:36] Jordan_U, any idea when an update will hit the ubuntu repository? [04:36] Jordan_U: have you managed to get compiz working with fglrx 8.43.3 [04:36] mssever: ok, i'm just wary since I once had a 10gb drive once and I couldn't transfer it to the new drive and resize [04:36] 42* [04:36] Nyle, Never trust ATI to release a good driver, I will believe it when I see it :) [04:36] where does the mysql folder go an ubuntu server install [04:36] or at least i couldn't figure it out [04:36] Jordan_U: +1 [04:36] hmm [04:36] g++ --debug $(pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl) -lSDL_image -lSDL_ttf -lSDL_mixer -I. lesson05.c [04:36] dope: dpkg -L mysql-server [04:36] how do i include openGL linker in that [04:36] mssever: i'll go with 50GB ... that's 1/5 of my space [04:36] http://apcmag.com/5046/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first [04:36] i dunno [04:36] theres a pretty good one [04:36] gavintlgold: As long as the partitions are consecutive and you're using something like ext3, you should be OK [04:36] would it actually be a problem to have Ubuntu running on a slave drive in dual-boot with Vista or XP on master? [04:36] :) thanks for the advice [04:36] gavintlgold: Sounds reasonable [04:37] wobblywu: yes, ive done it before [04:37] im helping my friend do TV-SVideo Out on his X1950XT.. I'm so clueless [04:37] yes it'd be a problem? [04:37] gavintlgold: I'm not used to having that much space :) [04:37] shadeofgrey, sudo modprobe applesmc [04:37] no [04:37] Need help with changing default program [04:37] wobblywu: that would work well, windows likes to be on the first drive, linux doesn't care [04:37] its completely plausable [04:37] nickrud: that's what I was thinking [04:37] Do any of the OSS drivers support gnome desktop effects? [04:37] I'd not dare put Windows on slave ;) [04:37] nickrud: would he be able to listen to music that's on the Vista partition? [04:37] or even install it after installing ubuntu [04:37] rainwalker: yes [04:37] has anyone heard of or used SMPlayer? [04:37] CyberAgeVoodoo: Which program? [04:37] wobblywu: I've always thought that linux can be installed on whatever drive/partition you want [04:37] Ubuntu can read NTFS just fine [04:37] shadeofgrey, Then run " [04:37] its based on mplayer but its loads better [04:37] mssever: also, it has an option for "primary" and "logical" ... should it be "logical" ? [04:38] wobblywu: oh? i never realised that [04:38] well [04:38] i knew it could read ntfs [04:38] I have a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 card. What package do I need? nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-legacy? [04:38] nickrud: but not able to save music TO it, right? [04:38] ntfs-3g takes care of it [04:38] msserver ... i want to change my default bittorrent app [04:38] i know that writing is sorta beta [04:38] it can write to ntfs just fine as well [04:38] yeah [04:38] exactly [04:38] ntfs-3 [04:38] g [04:38] it's been considered stable for a bit now, ntfs-3g [04:38] !ntfs-3g |rainwater, but I don't use it [04:38] rainwater, but I don't use it: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [04:38] I want to do compiz fusion in kubuntu.. please guide me to the right documentation [04:38] i see [04:38] !comipz [04:38] Factoid comipz not found [04:38] !compiz [04:38] Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion [04:38] in fact, it's part of the new Ubuntu 7.10 [04:38] gavintlgold: You can have up to four primary partitions. You SHOULD make one of them an extended partition. That one can contain many logical partitions [04:38] i see [04:38] anyway, im off to bed, gn [04:38] you don't even need to install additional packages anymore [04:38] msserver I already downloaded and installed qbittorent (which seems better) [04:39] CyberAgeVoodoo: Dunno about bittorrent [04:39] and I can assure you it works just fine, been using it extensively for months now (read&write) [04:39] yeah, the first time ubuntu offered to let me write, I nearly had a fit [04:39] mssever: is primary better? [04:39] mssever thanks for the try [04:39] CyberAgeVoodoo: qbittorrent is rubbish, just so you know [04:39] it is? [04:39] CyberAgeVoodoo: may I suggest Azureus to you? [04:39] gavintlgold: Maybe for Windows? But for Linux it makes no difference [04:39] wobblywu: anything that can throw up a message saying, "boot windows TWICE " to fix a partition, I'm not using it [04:39] or, if you can handle it, a command line torrent application [04:39] anyone here an ongoing user of second life? [04:39] mssever: ok, i'm single booting here anyway [04:40] i currently i have my home directory on its own partition. if i do a fresh install, will i be able to keep that as my home directory without having to format it? [04:40] nickrud: that's somewhat silly indeed, but you can just force mount those [04:40] ok if i dl that how do i associate that as my default prog for .torrent [04:40] whta: yes, that's exactly why you want a separate home [04:40] Jordan_U dude thank you so much for helping me... could you by any chancve take a minute and email me the most complete repositories file? [04:40] CyberAgeVoodoo: just right click a .torrent file, properties [04:40] shadeofgrey, Then run "echo "5999" | sudo tee /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan1_min" for fan one and "echo "5999" | sudo tee /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan2_min" for fan 2 [04:40] I like cli bittorrent (btdownloadcurses) [04:40] gavintlgold: Just don't make the mistake I made once and create four primary partitions; You lose a lot of flexibility [04:40] ok. will give it a go [04:40] shadeofgrey, Replace 5999 with whatever RPM you want [04:40] nickrud: i remember doing it for that reason. just making sure i wasn't misremembering. thank you. [04:40] if it's a GUI you want, Azureus is easily the preferred choice [04:40] thanks [04:41] gavintlgold: Save one of those for an extended partition [04:41] and, unlike on Windows, java tends to run fine on buntu [04:41] mssever: also, while i'm here, I just copied my /home to a firewire drive, and plan to copy the stuff i need back. i'm assuming that'll be ok (if arduous) [04:41] just be sure to disable that horrible Vuse layout they have now [04:41] gavintlgold: as long as file permissions are preserved... [04:41] mssever: i made / primary, the other logical [04:41] hi Fyda :) [04:41] shadeofgrey, You shouldn't just add all of the repositories you can, try to stay with the default repositories as much as possible [04:41] which forum category would I post in about partitioning? [04:41] gavintlgold: Hi :) Yeah, I remember backing up my Ubuntu files to a CD-RW, which became problematic because the file perms didn't survive [04:41] gavintlgold: Be careful of permissions when copying stuff. [04:42] what's the ubuntu program that's like winscp in windows [04:42] okay -- foir the fan speed commands do i need to use all those quotes? [04:42] You can use gnome-vfs to mount ssh folders. [04:42] gavintlgold: FAT32 and NTFS don't preserve permissions, which can cause problems [04:42] Go to Places->Connect to Server. [04:42] * nickrud enables a 3d party repo, gets what he wants, and _immediately_ disables it. Never know what might slip in [04:42] If in Gnome/ [04:42] gavintlgold: I had to manually re-set those perms -- when I tried logging in, I didn't have permissions for my own stuff in ~, so it threw an error :( [04:42] wobblywu, i would not recommend azureus personally [04:42] shadeofgrey, Not the ones at the begginging and end of the commands. [04:42] Laserbeast / Jordan_U: it works now. Thanks so much guys [04:43] gavintlgold: I'm thinking maybe if the external drive were ext3? [04:43] what's the ubuntu program that's like winscp in windows [04:43] nilson, np :) [04:43] gavintlgold: Or some partition on it, anyway [04:43] dope: scp in a terminal [04:43] Dxdt:..checked for bugs on my last post..it has been confirmed as a bug..and is being researched..thanks for the help. [04:43] Fyda: no, it's fat32 :( i had trouble formatting it to ext3 [04:43] gavintlgold: Also, on this topic, use cp -a when copying system stuff to preserve permissions. Regular cp won't do [04:43] hmm... so what's an example about permissions problems, mssever? [04:43] nickrud: it was had a gui [04:43] dope, Is winscp anything like scp? [04:43] Evanlec: which GUI torrent application would you suggest? [04:43] i wouldn't be able to access stuff? [04:44] winscp is like scp, but for windows [04:44] does ftp, too [04:44] and it's open source, so that's nice [04:44] wobblywu, deluge [04:44] dope: you can use gftp, it has a ssh access mode [04:44] (it does ssh ftp) [04:44] dope, Because that is a *NIX application :) [04:44] gavintlgold: You can access stuff ok, but you could have trouble logging on [04:44] Jordan_U: it's a gui program with the 2 locations open side by side and you can drag from one into the other [04:44] gavintlgold: some applications will break if permissions aren't correct. If you just want to backup /home/, probably not an issue [04:44] No problem nilson, enjoy :) [04:44] wobblywu, similar interface to UTorrent and no java bloating [04:44] gavintlgold: well, I tried temporarily moving /usr/local to an fat32 partition, and when I moved it back, the lack of perms made it impossible to execute anything under the bin directory [04:44] Thank god for vlc.. [04:44] mssever: i am just planning to copy my pictures, etc, so it doesn't seem like it's a problem [04:44] Fyda: i see, that's not what i'm attempting [04:44] gavintlgold: just to prove it to yourself, try doing chmod -R 777 / as root and see what happens :) [04:45] gavintlgold: Ah, okay [04:45] gavintlgold: and if you get the permissions wrong in some parts of the system (not /home) you can have all kinds of weird problems that are very difficult to solve [04:45] the utorrent team claim to be wine'able just fine [04:45] does anyone know if there is a solution to having a "black screen of death" using nvidia drivers with compiz-fusion? [04:45] although I somewhat disagree [04:45] Fyda: i'm going to reinstall stuff... might as well [04:45] * nickrud slaps linuxidiot with a fish [04:45] deluge is nice with gnome, I must agree [04:45] gavintlgold: But you have a few crucial dotfiles in your home directory that are sensitive to permissions [04:45] but it does lack some basic features, from what I can remember [04:45] better than giving hime an obfuscated perl oneliner that does it [04:45] mssever: i don't think i'm going to copy them [04:46] i'm going to pick and choose, not replace home entirely [04:46] true, i guess ;) [04:46] gavintlgold: Then you should be OK [04:46] wobblywu, well i dunno, it doesnt lack anything i need so far...and yea utorrent is wine-able but i'd prefer not to run apps in wine unless i absolutely have to [04:46] nickrud: But to someone who knows not of either form, it's all the same ;) [04:46] okay... i dont have wired internet in my home -- i only have wireless, so wheres the best place forinstructions on how to get wireless networking running on first gen macbookpros? [04:46] I once ran an obfustcated perl oneliner that proceeded to wipe out / live and learn [04:46] since i had some problems after using envy... and the upgrade to gutsy messed up during tzdata [04:46] if i use nautilus to sftp into my server how do i get root access so it will give me permission to copy files over? [04:46] I did try deluge before being 'forced' to use Azureus, but sadly I can't remember the massive flaw that made me not use it anymore [04:47] shadeofgrey, It works out of the box on mine :) [04:47] I ended up with feisutsy [04:47] lol, goot name [04:47] a mix-up of both versions... it was very weird [04:47] Any one here an (opera) tech. [04:47] shadeofgrey, Just go to the network manager applet at the top right of the screen [04:47] gavintlgold: Heh, yeah, I upgraded the laptop to Gutsy in a slow and laborious way [04:47] so i'm starting over, but copying home [04:47] and im sorry to be such a pain in the ass Jordan_U -- im just back in noob land right back wghere i started when i started with ubuntu on PC -- but i swear to God that if you ghelp me resolved all my iussus ill donate timeon weekdays and weekends to help othrs as much as possible [04:47] I've chose the wrong keyboard layout during installation. Where do I change it now?? [04:47] gavintlgold: I had edgsty once :) [04:47] gavintlgold: Instead of using the automatic upgrader, I just did it completely manually by editing the sources.list and progressively upgrading [04:47] kazim59: system->prefs>keyboard [04:48] gavintlgold: I would not recommend it to anyone else, but at least it didn't break my laptop. Which is more than I can say for the official upgrader on my desktop :( [04:48] Fyda: the tried and true, likewise. Worked pretty well [04:48] hi, does anyone know if there is a solution to the bug with gutsy and azureus? [04:48] Jordan_U welll - see - i dont think my network card is being recognised at startup because i couldnt see any of the 5 availaable wireless networks we have here in my home [04:48] mssever: seems that the upgrade process is often problematic [04:48] how do I find out how much of my CPU is in use? My conky is holding at 100% CPU using? [04:48] Laserbeast: top [04:48] grayscale: where it just crashes and doesn't open? You are using the wrong java [04:48] Laserbeast: htop [04:48] question to all: what would be the easiest scripting language to write a script that would change a bunch of filenames for me? perl? bash? python? [04:48] anyway, i'm going to click Forward now [04:48] ;) [04:48] Laserbeast: what kind of computer do you have? [04:48] Laserbeast: do you have a dual-core by any chance? [04:48] grayscale: you are probably using the OS java instead of Sun's java [04:48] gavintlgold: In my case, I had a number of hardware issues that messed up the upgrade [04:48] dxdt: do i have to completely uninstall the jre?

Fresh installations are beautiful, but the upgrades seem to always mess something up. [04:49] Laserbeast: that's a whole lot of Unknown [04:49] Evanlec: for something that simple, bash [04:49] Im not familiar with any really, thats why im asking, what would be easiest [04:49] gavintlgold: From Dapper to Edgy, from Edgy to Feisty, I've had problems each time [04:49] Evanlec: I would use bash for that === GNUdog is now known as GNUdog|away [04:49] Jordan_U and to be honest with you the most important thing for me besides the cooling fans is setting up my system so that when i boot my machine the laptop monitor is turned off and i use my 24" dell widescreen instea as the default [04:49] shadeofgrey, Do you see an "ath0" when you run "iwlist scan" ? [04:49] wobblywu, Yeah I hate laptop CPUs in desktops.. Good overclockers, though [04:49] Evanlec: with your eye on the future, i'd go for python [04:49] yea thats what i thinking, just wondering if bash was powerful enough to do string manipulation [04:49] dxdt, do you know the package off-hand? or do i have to download it and install it from sun's site? [04:49] Evanlec: is there a common string in the filenames? [04:49] Fyda: it's because it's never completely sure what's up with your computer [04:49] Laserbeast: what desktop environment are you in KDE GNOME? [04:49] gavintlgold: Fyda: My desktop has gone Dapper > Edgy > Feisty with no problems [04:49] Laserbeast: Celerons are excellent overclockers, but i'd never want one in my PC :) [04:50] Evanlec: no, but sed is, also see the "rename" command [04:50] yigal, Gnome [04:50] I followed the same path as mssever [04:50] well i basically want it to get rid of any numbers at the beginning of the filenames for starter [04:50] grayscale: go into synaptic and look for sun-java6 [04:50] Fyda: i'm sure if you had a computer running the completely default install of feisty, the upgrade would be fine [04:50] wow, does anyone else have a whole lot of crap under other on their applications menu? [04:50] Evanlec: use the mass rename tool in ubuntu [04:50] gavintlgold: Well, to be fair, I did use 3rd-party repos. [04:50] wow i am retarded this is my first time ever using irc and thats becouse i never got them to work but i knew how to use linux but not this [04:50] is the iw commandsomething you run from terminal? [04:50] wobblywu, oh? where would i find that? [04:50] wobblywu, I have the Mobile Athlon XP 2500+.. Barton, completely unlocked [04:50] gatepc: that's kind of odd [04:50] shadeofgrey, Yes [04:50] Evanlec: one sec [04:50] #ubuntu is actually pretty quiet right now :D [04:50] that last thing i said was the first thing i ever said on irc [04:50] grayscale: sun-java6-jre is what you want. [04:50] 24487 chris 25 0 58820 23m 11m R 98.9 2.4 54:36.39 python [04:50] Python is raping my CPU [04:51] wtf? [04:51] gavintlgold: Yeah, but maybe because people are in bed? [04:51] says its already installed [04:51] okay -- and concerning the fan speed is there a space between teee and the rest of the command [04:51] ? [04:51] shadeofgrey, Yes [04:51] Laserbeast, killall python ? [04:51] grayscale: also sun-java6-bin, and running sudo update-alternatives --config java , choose sun [04:51] Laserbeast: Got something running that's gone into an infinite loop? [04:51] shadeofgrey, I think that the wiki page tells you how to have the fans set automatically at boot [04:51] Laserbeast: some program that relies on python has probably locked up or gone into a loop [04:51] ok ill give that a go [04:51] it's kind of annoying though... my partitions are as follows: sda6=/ sda7=/home sda5=swap [04:51] grayscale: erm, sun-java6-plugin, I mean [04:51] is there a way to skip partition setup in the ubuntu installer? Gparted freezes my system. I can partition the system myself with fdisk [04:51] Evanlec: /usr/lib/thunar/ThunarBulkRename [04:52] it's in Accessories in my menu, under 'Bulk Rename' [04:52] Evanlec: for i in *; do $j=cat $i| tr -d [0-9] ; cp $i $j; done [04:52] but I might've moved or renamed it [04:52] i love ubuntu but i had to switch back to windows becouse may wireless internet didint work but now windows drove me crazy so i got a mac mini which i am using now any ideas how to install ubuntu on mac intel i dont know much about mac becouse this is my very first mac and i have only had it for 1 week [04:52] misc--: I preformatted as well, but used the alternate cd [04:52] Fyda dxdt, I have a gmail python script that run on top of Conky [04:52] linux4me, whoa, thats bash [04:52] Evanlec: you definitely want to test drive that first [04:52] lol [04:52] macs should work since they use intel... [04:52] linuxidiot, thatts bash? [04:52] wobblywu, that dir doesnt exist [04:52] Laserbeast: that may be it. Kill it and see if goes away. The extreme python usage that is. [04:52] Evanlec: yes [04:53] okay. im going to reboot and get that and iw taken cvare of first... but my priority list is this: get dual monitor support workingh and make my big screen the default - then get wireless internet workingh... after that ill figure everything else out by myself [04:53] Is there a way to format unpartitioned space to NTFS in ubuntu? [04:53] ok well bye [04:53] Evanlec: d'oh.. must've come with xfce then [04:53] Evanlec: note that I had it 'cp' instead of 'mv' [04:53] try apt-getting it [04:53] Yeah I'm going in and out of 6% usage.. It was definitely python.. Guess my script was a little buggy :( [04:53] nickrud: ok. Yeah I'm downloading that now. I am just inpatient :) [04:53] unfortunate the nvidia livecd users can't get c-f ... [04:53] !find ThunarBulkRename [04:53] Jordan_U and if you would please supply me with the address to the wiki you were refgerring to? [04:53] but intel worked [04:54] Package/file thunarbulkrename does not exist in gutsy [04:54] misc--: heh [04:54] Evanlec: for i in *; do $j=`cat $i| tr -d [0-9]` ; cp $i $j; done (might need the backtics) [04:54] anyone setup an install cd mirror in here before? I ran an rsync command to do it, and I believe it is going, but I was just curious as to whether I used the right command so I wanted to see if anyone else has done it. [04:54] Evanlec: sudo apt-get install thunar [04:54] Evanlec: or use rename in terminal [04:54] wobblywu, okk [04:54] is there an easy way to get ubuntu onto a pc? like through the network or something [04:54] Evanlec: just realized that that would actually delete all numbers. to delete only preceeding numbers is left as an exercise to the reader [04:54] rename in terminal supports regex iirc [04:55] or use mv which also technically works as rename [04:55] shadeofgrey, wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBook ( some of it applies to all intel macs ) [04:55] dope, the easiest would be the livecd [04:55] linuxidiot, an exercise to the reader? meaning me? lol [04:55] but you can do it through the network as well [04:55] okay... is there a macbookpro one i should be looking at as well? [04:55] unfortunately both my CD drives are dead now [04:55] nickrud, did what you said, still nothing :( [04:55] Flynsarmy: yes, you can use cfdisk to create an ntfs partition (type 07) and use mkntfs in ntfsprogs to format it [04:56] dope lots of results on google on network install, first being http://mywheel.net/blog/index.php/ubuntu-network-install/ [04:56] grayscale: by nothing, what do you mean? [04:56] Evanlec: yes :) [04:56] shadeofgrey, Yes, laste time I looked at it though it was poorly written [04:56] grayscale: you may need to change the default java to use sun's instead of the other. this is done with sudo update-alternatives --config java and choose Sun's [04:56] also try http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/08/how-to-install-ubuntu-locally-over-the-network/ @ dope [04:57] shadeofgrey, wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro [04:57] * nickrud feels a little dejavu coming on [04:57] dxdt, yeah thats what nickrud mentioned, i pointed to sun 6 but it still locks up [04:57] and according to synaptic, sun 6 is installed [04:57] nickrud: ahh I see we're both helping. My bad. [04:57] grayscale: java -version , what does that say? [04:57] wobblywu, thunar appears to be a file manager app... [04:58] ok, wish me luck, i'm installing :) [04:58] dxdt: heh, If anyone got offended that someone can't track every single conv here and know what's going on, they are idiots [04:58] build 1.6.0_03-b05 [04:58] anybody using ubuntustudio? [04:58] Evanlec: yea it might be considered a bit overkill, it's the file manager of xfce [04:58] grayscale: so what's locking up? [04:58] wobblywu, oh [04:58] but it has a nice bulk rename application [04:58] gah, this is scary :/ [04:59] grayscale: that's the sun java, by the way [04:59] nickrud, when a .torrent file is opened from a web page and/or i save the .torrent locally and load it into Azureus, it freezes as it tries to process the .torrent [05:00] grayscale: ah, azuerus. I will bite my tongue, except to say I don't use or know it [05:00] nickrud, have any recommendations? [05:01] I've used it for so long out of habit [05:01] grayscale: for the little torrenting I do, the one built into ubuntu Worked For Me™ [05:01] nice TM :D [05:02] alrighty then [05:02] * gavintlgold <3 ubuntu's fast install... [05:02] how do I get it so that when I ssh to a host it doesn't ask me for my ssh key keyphrase every time? kind of defeats the purpose. SHouldnt it just ask me once and then let me be for x minutes? Enter passphrase for key 'id_rsa': [05:02] !torrent | grayscale [05:02] grayscale: Torrent clients: Azureus (Java), BitTornado (Shell with python front-end), KTorrent (KDE/Qt), rTorrent (C++) - Bittorent FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html [05:02] i bet it would be faster with more RAM [05:02] thanks [05:02] grayscale: and people are also recommending deluge now [05:02] I really like ktorrent more than deluge. [05:03] if it's features you want, go with azureus [05:03] something interesting to me is that when i went in and looked at the graphical programn that controls monitoe support it ghad my dell 24" by name in its list but wouldnt enabl,e it at all [05:03] it'll take most resources though [05:03] any suggestions? [05:03] if I have a choice of linux drivers for debian, vs drivers for mandrake/redhat, I should choose debian drivers for regular Gutsy Gibbon Gnome right? [05:03] but not a ridiculous amount (unlike it does on Windows) [05:03] * crdlb points out the awesomeness of rtorrent [05:03] shadeofgrey, Before or after installing the restricted ATI drivers? [05:04] yeah I've become kind of spoiled with how feature-rich Azureus is [05:04] I ididnt do anything with restricted drivers first [05:04] is tyhat the kjey? [05:04] if so, then what do i do? [05:04] Himpalapotamus: even debian drivers can be iffy, depending on the age [05:04] wait you told me before [05:04] grayscale: Ktorrent has most features I think that exist, really. Including encryption, peer blocking of IP's, distributed tracking, etc [05:04] ill scroll up and look again [05:04] using the neighbor's internet, i managed to download gutsy in 40 minutes... it would have taken 12 hours with my internet :) [05:04] nick_fn: they are brand spanking new for a brother printer [05:04] imo it's either azureus or rtorrent you should go with, but I might be wrong (i'm not) === eboyjr is now known as _eboyjr_ [05:04] dxdt, have you tried deluge at all? [05:05] does anyone use the multi-rec branch? [05:05] or just install them all and try them until one wins your preference [05:05] I have, at the time it had memory leaks. Don't know if it still does. [05:05] it's all free [05:05] Himpalapotamus: debian, definitely. But first, check to see if the printer support has already been added natively to ubuntu [05:05] Has anyone had success running Gusty in Parallels on an Intel Mac? [05:05] but im going to do the fan thing first though because i dont want my system over heating [05:05] nick_fn: I checked and it's not, the printer is a MFC-9840CDW [05:05] ill try out Ktorrent and Deluge side-by-side [05:05] hi all, i've just upgraded to 7.10, and has the start up screen changed since the previous version? not the login screen but the one after it [05:05] how to change the login screen again [05:05] thanks for your help guys :) [05:05] Anyone had luck getting ubuntu running on a dual video card box where they're SLI teamed? Alienware laptop. Currently get no X video [05:05] IntelMacUser: i've heard of that [05:05] but am not sure [05:06] nick_fn: so I take it that if a driver works, it would be the debian one [05:06] keitherz: no not how to change it [05:06] IntelMacUser; i never thought iud get ubuntu running but -- 7.10 WILL install - i just did it mysewlf [05:06] Himpalapotamus: then I'd go ahead with the debian ones, simply because they use the same package management and can be easily removed [05:06] shadeofgrey I can't get it to install it can't find BIOS(obvously) [05:06] because my login screen is xubuntu I want to make it ubuntu [05:06] nick_fn: the package ends with .deb [05:06] Himpalapotamus: and also, because it's most likely to work :) [05:06] shadeofgrey, it won't, the fan speed on macs is controlled in the firmware, which means that the OS does not controll it, all you can do is raise the fan speed, you can't decrease it more than Apple has it set to go, and the firmware will always raise the fan speed if it gets to hot [05:07] is there a way to alter the boot commands to get it to work? === Fyda_ is now known as Fyda [05:07] nick_fn: thank you very much for your help [05:07] Himpalapotamus: you have the right idea, though, using debs. Makes your life much easier all round [05:08] !usplash | keitherz [05:08] keitherz: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [05:08] that's fixed [05:08] shadeofgrey, That is why for people that want to raise the fan speed in windows ( on an intel mac ) they use smc fan controll in OSx then reboot ( actually shutting down looses the settings, as does suspending ) and the fan speed stays high because the firmware setting havn't reset [05:09] the login screen is the one I need to fix [05:09] hey guys, what's the command to add a user to a group? [05:09] shadeofgrey, And windows can't even raise the minimum fan speed like Linux and OSx can :) [05:09] my pointer preferences is not showing up under my mouse preferences like it's supposed to. is there something i need to install additionally? [05:09] I downloaded the lastest ATI drivers for my geforce go 9600 and it's working ok, but when I go into the restricted drivers panel it says I'm not using the proprietary driver. If I enable that, it will roll back to a previous proprietery driver won't it? [05:09] keitherz: ah, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm [05:10] Himpalapotamus: isn't geforce an nvidia card? [05:10] footy: it is in Preferences>Appeaerence>Themes>Customize>Pointers [05:10] ben_underscore: lol ok umm... it's an ATI radeon mobility 9600 (sorry) [05:10] what does "glxinfo | grep vendor" say? [05:10] anybody know how the displays and graphics thingy in gutsy handles multiple displays? [05:11] i'm currently on the live cd because i want to reinstall, but i'm having some issues that i DON'T have on my real install. thef irst is the sound is a lot softer. why would this be? [05:11] i got it set up but it runs like crap [05:11] If I'm using 64-bit Ubuntu, what packages should I install to get Java working in Firefox? [05:12] Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0". [05:12] Jordan_U I found where to edit a file that will set the fan speed at boiot up but whats the command to edit files again? its sudo gedit blah blah blah right? [05:12] gOLdenHaWK3D: ah there they are, thankx [05:12] im having trouble booting to the install cd, it bumps me to an busybox console...the last thing it prints is a bunch of ext3/kjournald messages [05:12] footy: :) [05:12] shadeofgrey: if you want to use gedit, yes [05:12] shadeofgrey, correct [05:12] okay [05:12] shadeofgrey: ;) [05:12] with mono I can compile C# on linux? [05:13] !mono [05:13] mono: Mono CLI (.NET) runtime. In component main, is optional. Version 1.2.4-6ubuntu6 (gutsy), package size 1 kB, installed size 28 kB [05:13] shadeofgrey, Yes, but in general it is better to use gksudo with GUI applications, it doesn't matter with gedit but does with some others [05:13] nickrud thanks ill try if this works [05:13] !gksudo | shadeofgrey [05:13] shadeofgrey: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using « sudo » - See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info [05:13] i'm having a problem with gnome right now... [05:14] does anyone know if there are ways to get more games and or levels to the games that are available on gcompris in Edubuntu [05:14] if i switch desktops... one of my toolbars dissapear [05:14] is it supposed to do that? [05:14] CubeXombi it says Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0". [05:14] listen everyboody... some of you know this some of you dont - but im really severely physically handicapped an d wheelchair bound. the bottom line is that i can onlyu tupew with one hand which means i ca n only go so fast.... but ill keeep rebooting into macx and coming here till i get networking running on ubuntu [05:14] - i had to qwitch to the DRI driver, mind you I;m using an R200 not an R340 gimme a sec and I'll take a look, you may need to do what i did [05:15] what is C# good for? does it do anything that Java can't be done with Java? [05:15] Jordan_U and you are officially my new hero for helping me with all this shit -- i swewar to god ill snail mail you a bottle of your favorite liquior in thanks for all he help [05:15] vladuz976: C# and Java are almost equivalent, i think! [05:15] I am getting an error on a custom kernel. "Alert /dev/sda4 does not exist" [05:15] - just as i thought .. you card isn't supported by the ATI binary driver thats why [05:15] New problem. Ubuntu startup freezes 2/3 of the time about 1/4 way through the progress bar on the splash screen [05:15] !ohmy | shadeofgrey [05:15] and as soonn as i get everything settled in Ubuntu you have my word that ill hang out in here and heklp other poeople [05:15] shadeofgrey: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. [05:16] vladuz976: a friend of my who works for GoldmannSachs IT dept says he thinks it's great and they use it extensively. [05:16] CubeXombi: interesting. ok well it seems to be working with whatever it's doing, but I just don't have that custom effects choice [05:16] - may have spoken too soon .. 1 more sec === clamscasino_ is now known as OCDJ [05:16] but everything else seems to be working fine [05:16] i was a constant here in this chnneel back when i was PC but that poor pentium three eeventually gave out and its taken me this long to get things going on my mac [05:16] What config setting on a ssh server would prevent public key authentication from working? [05:16] sort of off topic, but does anyone know if zsnes save states are stored in the home folder? [05:16] I have updated udev already. Is there another reason why I am having this problem? [05:16] hm.. which is better right now, utorrent via wine or deluge? [05:16] If I'm using 64-bit Ubuntu, what packages should I install to get Java working in Firefox? [05:17] How can I find out what the process name is of a window ? ie., I want to know what aMSN chat windows are called so I can set them to open on workspace 1 in my openbox config [05:17] Jordan_U thank you so much for being such a great friend. i officially owe you one big time! [05:17] how do I find out what version of Ubuntu I'm running? [05:17] punsad, yeah all investment banks use it. I work for RBS and they want me to learn C# and Java [05:17] ill be back in 30 to 45 -- in 10 idf i cant get anything working right! =) [05:17] I did `cat /proc/version` and it says 4.1 ... but I don't think that's correct. [05:18] and thanks to everybody else thats helped me oiut [05:18] vladuz976: very interesting [05:18] i owe all of you [05:18] I am setting up an IRC server with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dancer-IRCD, but I'm stuck: I just can't get nickserv to work [05:18] big tyime [05:18] how do I find out what version of Ubuntu I'm running? I did `cat /proc/version` and it says 4.1 ... but I don't think that's correct. [05:18] punsad, only thing is I don't wanna switch platforms just for C# [05:18] O10: lsb-release -a === elij_ is now known as Elij [05:18] shadeofgrey: you're gonna make everyone blush :) [05:18] O10: lsb_release -a [05:18] hey guys, just installed gutsy and now none of my smb shares work. they show up in windows, but can't access them. this a common problem? [05:19] yeah _ not - [05:19] * coreymanshack waves at nickrud [05:19] vladuz976: hmm... I'll tell you right now - I know nothing about it first hand. I'm not a programmer at all [05:19] * nickrud waves back [05:19] thanks :) [05:19] 7.04 [05:19] hi people [05:19] sort of off topic, but does anyone know if zsnes save states are stored in the home folder? [05:20] I was wondering, what is the best with 7.10 video card with dual screen [05:20] supported [05:20] vladuz976: mono works for everything except system.windows.forms in my experience [05:20] whta i believe they are ... in the .zsnes folder [05:20] can any one tell me about the new ati drivers comming out for 7.10? [05:21] walter, oh interesting. what do you use it for? [05:21] Tiago_: 7.10 has the 8.37 drivers, nothing new there [05:21] vladuz976: hobby, i was actually working on an opengl game with it most recently [05:22] noite [05:22] hrmm... why is gnome not bringing up the desktop for me in gutsy? it stays at the beige screen when I attempt to login... [05:22] nickrud, i was told earlyer that there were drivers in the works that would alowe me to use dual head and compiz-fusion [05:22] Since I changed to the nvidia gfx driver, Screen and Graphics prefs only has like three resolutions available, not the one I need for my LCD. [05:22] Will I have to manually edit xorg.conf [05:23] This is the exact reason I dumped Windows off the PC today [05:23] why cant it let me pick my own f-cking resolution === maxkelley_ is now known as maxkelley [05:23] Tiago_: you can right now, with xserver-xgl. The newest ati one, 8.42 , doesn't require the xgl server, but is not in ubuntu. Probably won't be until next release [05:24] nickrud its still xubuntu [05:24] nickrud, how would i go about installing and enabeling it? is there a tutorial available? [05:24] nilson: take a look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log , look for the monitor recognition section. Probably the monitor isn't reporting clearly [05:24] nilson, you may need to manually edit it.. it's a pain, [05:24] Tiago_, If you want give this a go http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591066, what I am running right now on my x300 [05:24] darnish login screen [05:24] Tiago_: yes, a good one. A sec [05:25] thank you buttercups [05:25] hi, can anybody tell me how to add kde4 as a log-on session? [05:25] keitherz: you did sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm, selected gdm, then restarted it? (ctl-alt-backspace) [05:25] I can edit it manually thats not a problem. Ubuntu's not going to over write it is it [05:25] Tiago_: http://www.howforge.com/how-setup-fglrx-8-42-3-and-compiz-ubuntu-gutsy [05:25] This is really pissing me off simply because its such a stupid issue and its the reason I dumped Windows a few hours ago on this computer. [05:26] nilson: no, ubuntu won't overwrite it [05:26] which works better and is better supported for 7.10 = nvidia or ati ? [05:26] nilson, don't see why it would unless you reconfigure it later with an app.. if it doesn't detect your resolutioon it'l;l usually wipe it.. I'd probably make a backup of it once you've got it right [05:26] It's a 1280x720 widescreen LCD monitor. Not that hard to do. [05:26] what's the command-line version of "update-manager -c -d" ? [05:26] how can i play itunes m4v videos in ubuntu [05:26] i want to upgrade a headless host to gutsy from the feisty [05:26] vlc doesn't work [05:26] thank you nickrud, would i have to dissable my current driver? [05:26] It has resolutions all around 1280x720 [05:26] iobelisk, It is possible just be patient [05:27] Tiago_: it has step by step instructions, including how to disable the current ati fglrx [05:27] how can i play itunes m4v videos in ubuntu [05:27] thanks CubeXombi and nickrud for your help [05:27] i know i can a) edit sources.list b) run apt-get dist-upgrade... but update-manager -c -d seems to do some other things. also, it's simpler (just a command, no manually configs editing) and thus is preferable to me [05:27] iobelisk, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-2920.html [05:27] - no sweat .. i tried [05:27] anyone ? [05:27] Tiago_: I read a lot of howto's on that in the last few days, that one includes the best of each [05:27] is there an aptitude or apt-get equivalent of that? [05:28] i lost the bar at the top of all windows with the min./max/ x button and i don't know how to get it back [05:28] nickrud, awsome, im going to boot into ubuntu now, do you mind helping if mess up? [05:28] ANYONE??? [05:28] Tiago_: I'll be logging off soon, but will be on afternoon tomorrow pst [05:28] MFen: gksu update-manager -d is the command to go from feisty to gutsy [05:28] iobelisk, did you follow the link? [05:28] warbler: headless host. [05:28] no X. [05:28] nickrud, ok thanks mate [05:28] MFen: no there isn't [05:29] nickrud: ok, thanks [05:29] MFen: server? [05:29] ozzyparrot: I think its Nvidia. [05:29] nvidia or ati is best for gusty ? [05:29] Tiago_, new user? [05:29] kahrytan, yes, i did, thank you, i am reading the thread now. [05:29] Men: then try sudo [05:29] nickrud: yeah [05:29] thank you gOLdenHaWK3D [05:29] MFen: then you have no choice :) [05:29] iobelisk, In exec, just enter the command you use to open kde4. [05:29] nickrud: does update-manager -c -d do anything other than edit sources.list for you? [05:30] hello all.. [05:30] ozzyparrot: Nvidia got better open source community support, than an ATi. [05:30] could be a tossup .. new drivers only came out for ati last week.. so far looks likea pain to install for some.. easy and anything forothers [05:30] MFen: yes, at the least it makes sure that ubuntu-desktop is installed. Doesn't apply to you. [05:30] nickrud what? [05:30] !hello | webpirate [05:30] webpirate: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!

[05:30] has anyone been playing with compiz-fusion? [05:30] kahrytan, im new to gusty though i have ran each build since 6.10 and succesfuly enabled dual head + beryl/compiz-fusion on all but gusty [05:30] darwin81: Error: Could not parse XML returned by Ubuntu: not well-formed (invalid token): line 347, column 84 [05:30] nickrud what select gdm? [05:30] I can't seem to get the desktop cube to work.....everything else works... [05:30] I just formatted free space to install Live CD. It said I need to select a mount point. What should it be? [05:30] Tiago_, oh [05:30] kahrytan, actually i have not yet tried running kde4 from the terminal, mostly because i don't know how. [05:31] How can I find out what the process name is of a window ? ie., I want to know what aMSN chat windows are called so I can set them to open on workspace 1 in my openbox config [05:31] darwin81, look around in here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=134 [05:31] this is what i get when i run 'locale' [05:31] http://rafb.net/p/koFl6Q86.txt [05:31] CubeXombi thanks, i just needed to know cause im building a dual core extream computer and didnt know which dual screen card would of been better [05:31] how do i make it en_US? [05:31] keitherz: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm ; you should get a choice between gdm and xdm [05:31] darwin>> I have had very good luck with Automatix for installing java and flash player automatically...

[05:32] kahrytan, how ever im still reletivly new to linux in general, though im constantly pushing my self to use it more and more, i currently see no better alternative to computing for the human family [05:32] *giggles* [05:32] ozzyparrot: huh? [05:32] IdleOne, thanks [05:32] I set my resolution to 1280x720, which is my monitor's native res. The real resolution shown is like 800x600 and the screen scrolls [05:33] whats this about [05:33] Master_Z: it should be / if you're only creating one partition, and don't forget the swap partition [05:33] the mount point [05:33] automatix just runs scripts though....most of them just automate apt-get items [05:33] lol [05:33] so just / ? [05:33] sigh, i give up installing this [05:33] Tiago_, I switched when Vista came out. [05:33] whats the swap partition? [05:33] nilson: have you looked at the Xorg.0.log? [05:33] nickrud I only get * Reloading GNOME Display Manager configuration... [05:33] Hi. What was that file that ran as root every single time you turn your PC on> [05:33] ? [05:33] I mean lets face it...anything can break the linux install....but you never know until you try... [05:33] ewww i have vista its crap [05:33] Master_Z: the live cd suggests 2gig+ for / and swap that eqauls the memory you have [05:33] :( [05:33] * Changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended. [05:33] oh ok [05:33] stay with xp [05:33] [ OK ] [05:33] keitherz: hm, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xdm . [05:33] Tiago_, well. sorta. Last april was the official begin for me. [05:33] xp is wack [05:34] thanks [05:34] k [05:34] xp is better than vista [05:34] package xdm is not installed [05:34] true [05:34] kahrytan, oh cool, i had beta tested vista since the alpha builds and was also far more impressed by the progress linux had made [05:34] If i'm creating an NTFS partition out of Free space and it's going to be used just to store files on, do i make it a primary or logical? [05:34] MY OWN personal experience with Automatix as well as ENVY have been extremely good.....that does not mean that you will not have problems...but it's worth a shot [05:34] hi [05:34] vista sucks your whole hard drive. [05:34] Tiago_, you mean Compiz Fusion. [05:34] how do i get my window titles bar and border back [05:35] no vista just sucks [05:35] :-P [05:35] keitherz: xubuntu has changed how it does the login screen since I last looked, sorry. Try system->admin->login screen [05:35] nickrud: no errors, only NVIDIA(0): Setting mode 800x600@60 [05:35] ozzyparrot, no argument here. [05:35] fn'kahrytan: not necessarily [05:35] nickrud package xdm is not installed [05:35] keitherz: read back up [05:35] lol [05:35] apt-get install xdm? [05:35] * ectospasm Tom Waits - Bone Machine - Earth Died Screaming (x«amarok) [05:35] nilson: put it up on a pastebin, if you would [05:35] <_narcarsiss> vista needs 3gig ram just to rus as good as 2000 :P [05:35] anyone running gusty with dual monitors? [05:35] I am still having problems after installing a custom kernel [05:35] hey guys, in nvidia-settings there are presets for 2d and 3d clock speeds, however it keeps switching between these randomly (especially annoying when it switches to 2d freqs in etqw) how can i make it only switch at the appropriate times [05:35] Just like this problem I have......I always have better luck installing KDE after installing ubuntu rather than downloading Kubuntu.. [05:35] Tiago_, http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o200/kahrytan/compiz/? [05:35] kahrytan, well i had allready played with beryl before that, but yes the transition from beryl to compiz-fusion blew me away, also alot of updates to gnome and ubuntu packages gave it an overall better feel [05:36] but some people just download kubuntu and have no problems.. [05:36] nickrud you mean login windows [05:36] Tiago_, I want to see Vista pull that off [05:36] how can i uninstall an application from console ? [05:36] I get "Alert /dev/sda4 does not exist" then it drops to a busybox shell [05:36] keitherz: yeah, they keep changing names :) [05:36] BERYL RULZ [05:36] ikon: sudo apt-get remove package_name [05:36] <_narcarsiss> i have compiz installed but i dont know how to install fuzion [05:36] beryl dont exist, now is called compiz fusion, ozzyparrot [05:36] but it took me time to learn that kubuntu does not work for me...I have to install ubuntu first then use synaptic to get KDE [05:36] weird [05:37] ebirtaid, how can i know the package name ? [05:37] ikon yep thats correct, i havent installed the new version i just had the bveryl version [05:37] whats the program? [05:37] it was way cool! [05:37] Tiago_, make sure to turn on backports (not the unsupported one) in Software Repositories. [05:37] did you install via apt-get or synaptic? [05:37] <_narcarsiss> apt-get [05:37] via automatix [05:37] when i install kubuntu I have major problems with reading filesystems...but the other way it works fine [05:37] I have updated udev. looking at fstab all is good and automagic menu.list for both the default kernel and the custom kernel both point to it. [05:38] nickrud what's the default background color [05:38] ahhh cant help with automatix too much but I would suggest open synaptic and search for the program name [05:38] and try removing that way [05:38] right click -> remove [05:38] keitherz: don't know [05:38] If i have a Windows partition, a Ubuntu partition and an unformatted partition at the end of the HDD, If i want to make that free space NTFS to store files on do i make it a primary or logical? [05:38] Tiago_, like my screenshots of compiz? [05:38] kahrytan, indeed, it should be theoreticly possible with the new wpf in vista, how ever they have not taken full adantage of the posebilitys as compiz has [05:38] Could the problem be a missing module. [05:38] ? [05:38] logical I would think [05:38] use yours and give me the color code [05:38] I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy. Now compizfusion does not work. I have an ATI card (ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250). Basically I can login to gnome via GDM if I DONT HAVE xserver-xgl, however if I install it the gnome session times out and restarts the session. Any ideas? [05:38] kahrytan, yes very nice [05:38] keitherz: haven't learned how to change that first color code [05:38] that was a logical answer [05:39] ebirtaid: What's the difference between the two? [05:39] :-P [05:39] Tiago_, If Avant was stable, it could replace the panels. [05:39] kahrytan, i think you would like mine, i have gone for a full leopard clone [05:39] why ubuntu have ext3 instead ZFS partition ? [05:39] a hard drive can only have a limited amount of primary partitons [05:39] ZFS is much better [05:39] linux uses ext3 and not zfs by default [05:39] ikon: known stability, and inertia [05:39] kahrytan, i use awn full time with no majour issues [05:39] nickrud open your login window preferences and go to local then the background color [05:39] hmm... getautmatix.com isnt' resolving [05:39] pablo - did you try to update to the latest restricted driver and reinstall xserver-xgl? [05:39] get the color name [05:39] Tiago_, I get crashes. [05:39] nickrud: pastebin.ca/752249 [05:39] nickrud: xorg.conf [05:39] keitherz: I've never changed it [05:40] cappicard: its spelled wrong [05:40] kahrytan, that sucks, i get many problems with kiba [05:40] riverfr0zen, nop. Which driver should I update? [05:40] Tiago_, but with main menu applet, work app list, and workspace applet, no need for panel. [05:40] you just have to get the color name [05:40] Does anyone use Ubuntu with an iMac? [05:40] why bother [05:40] I want the default for ubuntu [05:40] use on eor the other [05:40] my setting is for xubuntu [05:40] ozzyparrot: ...? [05:40] Tiago_, I like how compiz copied apple on coverflow [05:41] how can i uninstall switchfox ? [05:41] ebirtaid ?? [05:41] ...I wish I *could* use compiz.. [05:41] use on or the other what? [05:41] How do I stop Gaim froms tarting up everytime I start linux when it was open last time i shut down [05:41] one* [05:41] nilson: the /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it has the record of how X started up [05:41] can anyone tell me where i can change how gnome-screensaver starts up (i need to use different options for it) [05:41] im currently running gusty in vmware off vista [05:41] kahrytan, yeah, its brough to much functionality to linux, and will be a platform for so many revolutionary plugins [05:41] why would you use vista [05:41] why [05:41] but cant the trendy video dont work [05:42] because i bought it [05:42] lol [05:42] you PAID for vista? [05:42] nickrud: pastebin.ca/752250 [05:42] that sucks [05:42] i know [05:42] who paids for vista? [05:42] deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt gutsy main gets inserted into my sources.list file [05:42] nickrud what is it [05:42] by automatix2. [05:42] worst mistake i made on computers for a long time [05:42] nickrud: by the way, the screen worked fine before I installed the nvidia drivers. [05:42] i bought a comp that came with vista [05:42] that site does not resolve [05:42] automatix is obsolete with gutsy. [05:42] i know jscinoz [05:42] automatix is stupid anyways [05:42] uhh... my screen works weirdly. in the log-in screen the bottom doesn't fit on my monitor, but apparently when i'm logged it works ok, because the background image fits to screen but i still don't see the bottom [05:42] is their a gusty only room ? [05:42] keitherz: patience, jeez :) #DAB082 [05:43] kahrytan, gnome still lacks some of the polishings of say leopard, even when compleatly themed but i can see how it will soon surpass even apple in terms of asthetics [05:43] ozzyparrot, this is it [05:43] who buy's windows vista? [05:43] Tiago_, M$ has to catch up to Linux with its next release in 6 or 7 years at the rate linux eye candy is going [05:43] thanks a lot [05:43] Using qemu with the kqemu kernel module, what percent of normal speed should i be expecting? 60%? [05:43] eye candy is not the primary goal of linux or windows [05:43] Javid ohhh, i didnt realise lol. thanks [05:43] !java [05:43] 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 [05:43] Tiago_, Dolphin file manager is better the nautilus [05:43] I would rather have a stable proper system than a nice looking pos [05:43] ebirtaid, but it's soooo pretty [05:44] agreed [05:44] but I like a minimal desktop so its just my opinion [05:44] I have kubuntu feisty and when I try to go to kcontrol there are no config options in there. Systems Settings (the new controls) crashes. kde 3.5.8 [05:44] i'm not sure why the near-unanimous decision on vista vs ubuntu+compiz is in favour of ubuntu [05:44] oh obviously [05:44] vista cannot compare [05:44] is the default session really run xclient script [05:44] kahrytan, i dont think windows is structured on a model that could ever posible catch up to linux at the moment, linux has the ability to produce novelty and deliver it daily, and the more people use linux the faster the rate of novelty will occure, linux is the platform for the next age of computing [05:44] imo vista is still quite ahead of ubuntu in making it look normal [05:44] nilson: you have a E17T4W ? [05:44] I am trying to get Ubuntu 7.10 to work on my friends HP pavillion laptop, two problems: a - wireless doesn't work w/ restricted firmware (whatever, prolly fixable w/ ndiswrapper) , b ) and the REAL problem, something is using up the full processor on IO waiting slowing stuff down [05:44] blasphemy! wobblywu [05:44] normal? [05:45] with ubuntu I always have the feeling i'm looking at some pretty cool effects, but in Vista it's actually integrated well [05:45] Tiago_, Why do you wantto switch? [05:45] I would have to disagree [05:45] you of course need a top range videocard + 2GB of RAM to even display it, but it's prettier [05:45] Vista looks great, but beryl (compiz) ads the cool features such as 3d cubetop [05:45] ha [05:45] any one see any probs with this set up ? 3gig dual core extreame, dual monitors, radeon 512mb card, gigabyte mborad, 2 gig mem [05:45] kahrytan, to linux? [05:45] nickrud: Thats probably the serial #. It's a 17" widescreen emachines monitor [05:45] omg ubuntu looks way better [05:45] ozzyparrot: problems regarding... ? [05:45] ozzyparrot: get a better vid card [05:45] known issues with gusty [05:45] ozzyparrot: if you're hoping to run linux on that, get a nvidia [05:45] meh, name one vista ui effect compiz cant do :P [05:45] Tiago_, yeah. I said trying cuz you aren't there it seems yet [05:46] sine what type of video card u suggest ? [05:46] jscinoz: making it look like more than just some effects thrown on an OS is what compiz can't do [05:46] So, anyone know how to monitor what could be using up 100% cpu on IO interrupts? [05:46] vista has the sidebar though! [05:46] also, making the address bar gradually change colour is another thing [05:46] jscinoz, the window transparency. [05:46] vista does that while loading the folder [05:46] wobblywu, how so, i find compiz-fusion perfeclty integrates [05:46] nilson: look at lines 277 and 278 , those are the vert and horiz. X thinks those are not capable of allowing the following modes. [05:46] CF can do window transparency. [05:46] also, vista has much much nicer desktop widgets than are available for linux [05:46] wobblywu nvidia video card ? [05:46] wobblywu: not really [05:46] jscinoz, compiz can't dothe Windows Key+E bug that vista has. [05:46] ozzyparrot, you paid for windows vista? [05:46] ozzyparrot: ati's linux drivers are horrible, nvidia's are half-decent [05:46] use screenlets or deksletss [05:47] ebirtaid: I am... [05:47] compiz integrates and it has way more features then vista can and heres the best part ubuntu doesnt crash like vista does [05:47] ebirtaid: desklets is probably the buggiest thing since Vista [05:47] kahrytan, im trying to make a complete swich because i belive in living by example, how ever linux as yet still lacks the 3rd party supprt to run all of my multimedia applications such as adobe suite, though im sure once i have my dual head set up ill spend alot more time forceing adobe products to function ether under wine or virtualized in virtualbox [05:47] wobblywu ahh cool, thnanks now i know b4 i buy [05:47] ikon: i technically did, it came w/ my laptop, although I had ubuntu replace it [05:47] depends I had no problems when running gdseklets [05:47] kahrytan you mean opening hundreds of "explore.exe"s? [05:47] might just be me [05:47] nilson: you probably need to find the correct ones, and add them to the xorg.conf. The monitor doesn't seem to be reporting correctly, probably why it didn't work in windows either [05:47] ozzyparrot: also, in current-generation, nvidia cards are faster than the comparable ati cards anyway [05:47] btw: anyone looking to buy a cheap vista license? [05:47] Tiago_, You should try to use Gimp more and more. [05:47] Ahhh, is there anywhere to get quick support? [05:47] nickrud: it worked perfectly before installing nvidia drivers? [05:47] hey guys, in nvidia-settings there are presets for 2d and 3d clock speeds, however it keeps switching between these randomly (especially annoying when it switches to 2d freqs in etqw) how can i make it only switch at the appropriate times [05:48] id buy vista just to remember what a crashing OS looked like....wait I wouldnt buy that I see it at work every day [05:48] jscinoz, yeah. [05:48] avi what do you need [05:48] ozzyparrot: yes, wooblywu is right. [05:48] How would I ever find those specs on the monitor [05:48] ok, anyone who paid for windows vista? any knowhow much is ? [05:48] nilson: google search the exact model name [05:48] ebirtaid: it depends on the applets you try, try loading a rhythmbox applet for funsies [05:48] jscinoz, I do that bug in stores in front of customers [05:48] Can you (anyone) recommend an open source video streaming server solution for running on a Linux box? I want to be able to stream out videos I have in AVI or MPEG format so that people visiting my "website" can view videos in their browser or with Windows media player or real player or something. [05:48] I use MPD :D [05:48] wobblywu i didnt know that. any nvidia dual head cards u think is best ? [05:48] ok when i do compiz --replace... i have windows with titles and borders, then as soon as I close a window, they all disappear [05:48] nilson: specs [05:48] kahrytan, im sure i could make a simple shell script to open a infinte amount of nautilus [05:48] ozzyparrot: what budget do you have? and what are you hoping to do with it? === _eboyjr_ is now known as answerer [05:48] Can some one help me find a good torrent client ? [05:48] Keypad, azureus? [05:48] keypad: transmission [05:48] or deluge [05:48] Keypad: Transmission [05:49] ikon dont get vista you will regret it [05:49] ozzyparrot -- i'm using GeForce fx 5200 works well so far [05:49] keypad, btdownloadcurses [05:49] kahrytan, i have tryed, and i have produced some photoshop like standards, and am very impressed by this amazing peace of open source software, but there are many other reasons photoshop and other adobe products are still industry stanard so i must continue to use them for the time being [05:49] azureus uses alot of memeory [05:49] it comes with ubuntu [05:49] vista is horrible [05:49] jscinoz, but how would linux handle it ? [05:49] * jscinoz has 4gb of ram [05:49] ozzyparrot: the best cards price/performance wise on the market right now in my opinion are the 8800gt by nvidia, but a different brand than the standard Nvidia ones [05:49] anyone a good guide for getting started on perl? [05:49] Ktorrent has window issues on my computer, Azureus crashes and Transmission downloads really slow. [05:49] it will be for my office (video card buget pf around 300) [05:49] Tiago_, like what? [05:49] F0CU1: about.com does I believe [05:49] - 500 [05:49] kahrytan, well i need to reboot anyways so i'll go see what happens if i open hundreds of nautilus [05:49] ozzyparrot: 300-500 usd? [05:49] there is a linux azureus client kah [05:49] ty wobblywu [05:49] AUD [05:49] was about to say [05:49] lol [05:49] Focu1: ya don't try to run it on another version of perl :P [05:49] nickrud: useless. Ill never find that info [05:49] look @ my name :) [05:49] keypad, get azureus and drop in the 2.5.0.4 jar [05:50] so about the same, actually [05:50] may as well dump the nvidia driver [05:50] keypad, it fixes all the major crashes [05:50] * nilson shakes had [05:50] head [05:50] ozzyparrot: I thought you were a Sabbath karaoke singer [05:50] Tiago_, If you want 3d modeling or animation, Blender is your friend. Vector Drawing, Inkscape. [05:50] nilson: try horiz, vert, I've done this on many monitors. [05:50] yeah as of friday i think it was 92 us cents to 1 aud [05:50] ubuntu repo maintainers havent put it in yet... its been out since may >_< [05:50] 300-500 is a budget overkill for anything linux, but look at the 8800GT videocard by Nvidia [05:50] jscinoz: How do I do that ? [05:50] Is 2.5.0.4 of azureus ever going to make it into the repo? its been half a year. [05:50] yeah theres nothing [05:50] be sure to go with the 640mb and not the 320mb one [05:50] is there any easy way to get dvd playback in ubuntu? [05:50] keypad, first install azureus normally [05:50] Tiago_, but if you having trouble using gimp, try gimpshop. It's designed for photoshop users. [05:50] jscinoz: just use the Vuse one? [05:50] azureus is not all that [05:50] shrug [05:50] mmm, inkscape. Even an idiot (like me) can draw :) [05:50] kahrytan, im sorry inkscape is alot ferther from being compairable to illustrator and fireworks than the gimp is from replacing photoshop [05:50] no [05:51] jscinoz: they're quietly dropping support [05:51] wobblywu why u say buget over kill ? [05:51] keypad, then go to azureus.sourceforge.net and download the 2.5.0.4 jar [05:51] kahrytan, oh that sounds cool, ill have to give that a shot [05:51] how do you set screen resolution at the greeter? [05:51] ozzyparrot: because linux, in all fairness, won't be using your videocard fully anyway.. and office doesn't require that much gpu processing power [05:51] Tiago_, http://www.gimpshop.com/ [05:52] kahrytan, to be honest the only major anoyance i have had with the gimp so far is its failer to retain layer effects from psd files [05:52] hmm thats strange 2.5.0.4 isnt on azureus.soruceforge.net anymore [05:52] I can build a perfectly good linux box for $212.00 [05:52] hang on keypad. [05:52] Tiago_, blame that on adobe. [05:52] I can make one for $210 [05:52] jscinoz: Ok [05:52] kahrytan, thanks heeps mate, i think i might leave vista now, and reboot into some thing a little more comfertable [05:52] pengi_: I can't even get a monitor for that amount [05:52] lol wobbly [05:52] keypad, just going to test this same thing works if i use the 3.X version [05:52] Tiago_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:GIMPshop_2.2.8_Windows.png [05:52] nickrud: I can find one in an alley ;-) [05:52] I'm looking for a way to monitor the sound output on ununtu, so I can make my christmas lights (programmed through the parallel ports) respond. How would I go about monitoring the sound? [05:52] kahrytan, ill continue this convo with you soon, im eager to try out this gimpshop [05:53] /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't affect the resolution of the login greeter after upgrade to Ubuntu 7.10. How can I change the resolution? [05:53] oh, I loose :( [05:53] Tiago_, it'll still have that psd issue. [05:53] kahrytan, that looks very promessing [05:53] Tiago_, it just takes gimp code and makes it easier for ps users to use gimp [05:53] kahrytan, well i supose if i made an image in the gimp to begin with it wouldnt be such an issue [05:53] hyphenex: i have no idea but if you find out please let me know cause i want to do that to [05:54] damn why is ubuntu downloading eclipse-platform 3.2.2-3ubuntu3 instead of 3.3 [05:54] does anyone know if sage is a viable replacement for mathematica or is it still premature [05:54] wobblywu which gt ? the gtx or gts [05:54] short cut key for switching workspaces?

[05:58] hi [05:58] wobblywu, that's sweet :P [05:58] wobblywu: What you need is to bind the menu key to be a macro for the nick. :) [05:58] jscinoz: is this the one ? Azureus2.5.0.4.jar   [05:58] damn [05:58] 7.10 is written Gutsy Gibbon, right? [05:58] gOLdenHaWK3D, but I think it's mounted, because the icon shows up on my desktop.

[05:59] i am running ubuntu on the virtual server 2005 [05:59] wekll heres what i did [05:59] gluonman: install the ntfs-3g drivers first. then mount your hard drive using those drivers manually. [05:59] wobblywu its a long story [05:59] hardy heron is going to mix up with the hoary hedgehog a lot, I bet [05:59] ntfs-3g is part of Ubuntu 7.10 actually [05:59] dougb, got libdvdcss installed? [05:59] Keypad, yes, that will do just fine, you can also use the 3.X series jar if you wish [06:00] but you might have to enable it... ? [06:00] first, i set my fan speed to dfull power in mac, and when i rebooted into ubuntu it jkept them running at that state [06:00] hey, any software like deamon-tools to linux, to mount .iso .bin etc....

I get this when moving from virtual terminal to X11 or after a suspend. Can anyone give me a reason for this and a possible solution? [06:00] kahrytan: i've installed everything i need [06:00] keypad, now rename it Azureus2.jar and do "sudo mv ./Azureus2.jar /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar" [06:00] anybody help me with x10 [06:00] <_dan_> cvd and u can easily convert bin/cue to iso [06:00] .bin and the other images? [06:00] tiago_, You might like the fact that Gimp supports PS plugins. [06:00] i tghen connected to my wireless network, added myt password, did an apt-get update with a bunch of the default repos turned on and then started messing with the dual monitor gui settings system [06:01] yigal: possible reason is compiz, and solution is to disable compiz [06:01] keypad, then "sudo chown root.root /usr/share/java/Azureus2.jar" and start azureus [06:01] cvd: try gmountiso [06:01] it's the same green static with VLC [06:01] kahrytan: yeah that is a great addition [06:01] shadeofgrey, That GUI tool isn't very good :( [06:01] could it have something to do with compiz? [06:01] what front end for qemu would you guys recommened, qemu-launcher or qemulator? [06:01] next thing i know its gicing me an error saying that i can no longer change monitor settings and neither monitor will show the main menu... i cant even get a terminal [06:01] jscinoz: Cool, ill do that after it finishes downloading [06:01] keypad, tell me if it works or not [06:01] wow the gts ultra is about $880 [06:01] and gmountcue [06:02] jscinoz: Whats chown ?

It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [06:02] Why would an upgrade to Gutsy change my screen resolution for the GDM login? [06:02] !chown [06:02] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[06:03] why is it doing his [06:03] shadeofgrey, No need you can fix it from the LiveCD or the recovery console [06:03] #lfs [06:03] ztomic: that part I missed, sorry [06:03] but let me ask you soemthing... once i turned on the restricted ATI driver should i have turned off the HAL? [06:03] tiago_, you mean like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30936? [06:03] Why does it fsck every time I boot, and freeze [06:03] wobblywu: so I must disable compiz there is no way around this at present? [06:03] shadeofgrey, No [06:03] I have to powercycle 5 or 6 times to get it to boot [06:03] nilson fsck runs at each boot, dunno bout freezing [06:03] brand new install [06:03] Jordan_U but a reinsrtall guarantees i get all default settings back [06:03] yigal: if that's the cause of it, you definitely need to for now [06:03] anybody expert in XServer [06:03] how can i change the size of the partition in ubuntu 7.04??

Jscinoz feels unclean. [06:04] its working in vlc now, i changed the output to X11 instead of openGL [06:04] shadeofgrey, It's just the GUI screens and graphics tool that screwed you up, all you need to do to fix it is use your backed up xorg.conf [06:04] nilson if you feel like breaking things then "sudo rm -rf /" :P [06:04] !anyone | rom10 [06:04] rom10: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [06:04] nilson, seriously dont though [06:04] okay but how do i do that? [06:04] can you pass something on the grub command line to prevent the init system from loading modules [06:05] may as well [06:05] I cant get into the damn system [06:05] ... [06:05] ouch [06:05] what went wrong? [06:05] fsck freezes up every time i boot [06:05] the initrd works fine but the system is crashing for some reason when upstart does loading hardware modules...

[06:05] nilson, gutsy or feisty? [06:05] kahrytan: email* [06:06] gutsy [06:06] hmm [06:06] shadeofgrey, Two ways, you can either fix it from the LiveCD, where you will also have the nice feature that you can be connected here while you do it :) or you can boot into recovery mode by pressing escape when you boot ( after choosing to boot Ubuntu ) [06:06] tiago_, I dont know. i dont have a pocket pc [06:06] nilson, since you kept home on its own part, may as well clean reinstall gutsy and have it reformat / [06:06] no way dude [06:06] kahrytan: ok thanks, im might have to do some investigation [06:06] I just installed it over like 4 hours tonight [06:06] and get wireless working [06:06] its a brand new instal [06:07] and home is not separate [06:07] is there an #ubuntu-drunk channel?

[06:07] nilson, ouch [06:07] nilson, What is the problem? [06:07] nilson, what did you do last thing before it broke? [06:07] tiago_, about only thing I cant seem to find is video editing [06:07] Jordan_U the damn fsck freezes up like every time I boot now [06:08] jscinoz: its been doing it [06:08] keypad, did it work? [06:08] nilson, doing what? [06:08] ey! why is eclipse3.3 not in Ubuntu's packages repository yet! [06:08] jscinoz: but usually it would boot after 2 or 3 power cycles [06:08] freezing up [06:08] i am using 7.10 and when it boots i get the message there are differences between the boot sector and back up. [06:08] nilson, Ooh, not good, are you sure that your drive is not failing? [06:08] what do i do [06:08] thers nothing wrong with it [06:08] b0r3d, Ubuntu only does security updates between releases. New versions get to wait until the next Ubuntu release. [06:08] nilson, did it ever work properly? and if so, what was the last thing you did before it broke? [06:09] but gutsy just been released no? === GNUdog|away is now known as GNUdog [06:09] kahrytan: yeah thats another important one, and i dont think vitalization would offer enough performance, how ever it might be possible to run premier in wine?

[06:09] disabled nvidia drivers [06:09] b0r3d, yes, but the freeze date for Gutsy was several weeks (at least) before the actual release [06:09] shall i disable the fsck for all my windows partitions? [06:09] kahrytan, hey [06:09] like I said it never worked right but it would boot after 2 or 3 tries usually [06:09] now it freezes every time [06:10] Madpilot, once I have eclipse3.2 installed, can i upgrade it to 3.3 [06:10] nilson, no idea, i couldnt think of anyreason that would cause fsck to run and hang every startup (which would imply a corrupted partition) [06:10] b0r3d, not with Gutsy, not without going outside Ubuntu's repos [06:10] installing mod_perl? apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2 "following packages have unmet dependencies....libdevel-symdump-perl .. is not installable. 7.04 feisty...any suggestions welcome [06:10] tiago_, Wine people say no [06:10] how long should fsck take to run [06:10] what is the reason for getting Fatal IO error 104 When I run Startx [06:10] nilson, depends on how large the partition is. [06:11] nilson, depends how big the partition is [06:11] its like 45 gb [06:11] Seems like there should be a whole separate compiz channel! [06:11] 10-15 minutes with a decent cpu [06:11] pbx, there is [06:11] pbx: there is [06:11] kahrytan: i would be interested in getting vmware installed under linux for the purpose as i have a hacintosh image that i would like to test the performance of with out vista hogging all the resources [06:11] Madpilot, trying to help tiago_ switch [06:11] maybe its not freezing then... [06:12] irc://freenode.net:compiz [06:12] pbx do join #compiz-fusion [06:12] tiago_, do you have a rom image? [06:12] but I dont see HD activity [06:12] its just like sitting there [06:12] iobelisk, cylent77_ : I don't want to join it! [06:12] Checking root file system... [06:12] nilson, fsck should definitely not be running every boot [06:12] kahrytan: its a vmware image i created [06:12] fsck 1.40.2 [06:12] I havent let it finish once [06:12] But maybe it should be in the topic [06:12] nilson, Well you should have [06:12] I just turn it off when it stops at that point [06:12] tiago_, you can run OS8.5 in Linux [06:12] kahrytan: to be honest the biggest anoyance i have at the moment is not being able to run dual monitors, its been burning me up for days [06:12] it doesnt look like its going anywhere [06:13] the is no HD activity [06:13] nilson, That is about the worst thing you could do [06:13] nilson, does your screen just simply go blank after booting the OS from grub? [06:13] nilson, Though there should be HD activity [06:13] kahrytan: by virtue of vitalization or some other means? [06:13] jscinoz: It worked. [06:13] tiago_, virtualization [06:13] No the splash screen stops like 1/4 through and does nothing, so I switched vterms to see the verbose output and I see fsck 1.40.2 [06:13] and nothing else [06:13] just sitting there [06:14] nilson, Try booting without the "splash" parameter [06:14] nilson, well maybe it is trying to fix the fle system, there is a difference in time taken to check an otherwise healthy FS and fixing an FS [06:14] kahrytan: i have 10.4.6 running under vmware, but i cant seem to find a vmware player.server compatible with 7.10 64bit :( [06:14] all my visual effects just disappeared after i tried to install emerald. [06:14] iobelisk: there is no hard drive activity at all. [06:14] its not doing anything [06:14] its just sitting there [06:14] pissing me off [06:15] tiago_, try pearpc? [06:15] hey how do I change the video driver from command line??? [06:15] kahrytan: is that available for linux? =D [06:15] hey guys [06:15] what is the command? In mandrive I could do it using xdrake [06:15] !xconfig | jonfish [06:15] jonfish: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [06:15] quick question, how do i read the uuid of a drive? [06:16] jscinoz: Thanks for your help, :) [06:16] !uuid | madman-help [06:16] madman-help: 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) [06:16] ah, blkid thats it [06:16] thanks a bunch Jordan_U [06:16] nilson, pop in the live cd, change root, try editing to boot without splash ? [06:16] Why would compiz stop working after trying to install emerald (and then removing it)? [06:16] madman-help, p [06:16] keypad, so its all good now? [06:16] madman-help, np :) [06:16] thanks [06:16] tiago_, oops.for ppc [06:16] jscinoz: Yeah as far as I can tell ^_^ [06:16] UBot3 What is the reason for getting Error 104 when I run startx [06:17] see now this time it booted straight up [06:17] its so confusing [06:17] oh and why did I Lose the restart and shutdown option from my power button?? [06:17] sometimes it works fine [06:17] rom10, you do know that ubot3 is a bot, right? [06:17] keypad, did you end up using 2.5.0.4 or 3.0.0.4? [06:17] and sometimes fsck runs and hangs [06:17] has that happened to anyone else? [06:17] Ill just never turn it off ever [06:17] nilson, Is the only reason why you don't want to install because you will have to get your wireless working again? [06:17] why would xgl suddenly stop working? [06:17] kahrytan: im thinking of installing it naively and than running ubuntu with in it or just gnome and see if its posible to install compiz-fusion, and then virtualize vista, then i would have all os's at my disposal [06:17] sorry abt that [06:17] whta, Do you have xserver-xgl installed? [06:18] nilson, well i think you could just turn fsck off.. not a good idea but i thnk you could do that [06:18] Ther's the whole issue of it taking a long time. [06:18] tiago_, if you really want to run osx, just dual boot it [06:18] I dont have much. [06:18] nilson, what is the problem in backing up data and reinstalling? it takes less than 20 minutes to do an ubuntu install [06:18] kahrytan: i have the parition set up and ready for the tri-boot as soon as i have downloaded the newer iso [06:18] jordan_u, i just checked and somehow i don't. but i JUST reinstalled from scratch and it all worked fine until i tried to install emerald at which point it all broke [06:19] nilson, Now that you know to use the native drivers instead of ndiswrapper wireless should be easy [06:19] whta, What GPU? [06:19] tiago_, cuz you have the osx86project to help you with it [06:19] kahrytan: what i supose im really looking for is an alchemical marridge to occur between all platforms, however this might not prove as virtuous as it sounds in imagination land [06:19] jordan_u: radeon x700. i just reinstalled the xserver package and tried compiz --replace. tells me xgl can't be found and that there's no whitelisted driver. [06:20] i am having a problem that some others have reported on the forum but i have not been able to find a resolution. gnome splash screen manager automatically closes everytime i try install a login splash, is there any known fix to this? [06:20] whta, Did you enable fglrx? [06:20] tiago_, you must be a designer? [06:20] kahrytan: yes graphic designer/new media artist by trade [06:20] whta, If so that would keep compiz from working because it doesn't support composite without XGL ( the open source drivers do ) [06:20] tiago_, it is possible to run ie4 in linux [06:21] okay jordan -- we now hace no choice -- the system is so borked it wont even boot at all now [06:21] jordan_u: restricted driver manager shows it as in use.. any way to make sure it's running properly? [06:21] yes [06:21] kahrytan, IE 4? Why would you want to run IE 4? === indrek is now known as intsarts [06:21] tiago_, http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page [06:21] kahrytan: but im incredibly interested in the developments in the computer world as we aproch the end of the mayan callandar and the peek of human novelty, which i think can only be brought about with linux [06:21] tiago_, all the way upto ie6 [06:21] has anyone here successfully compiled PyLucene on Gutsy? [06:21] it is defeating me at every turn [06:21] tiago_: you have too much time on your hands [06:22] shadeofgrey, I am sure it's fixable but if it's easier for you to re-install then just re-install [06:22] but when i booted the liveCD it wo7uldnt let me delete the swap partition... it has a loxk on it.. how do i remove the lock so i can remove the swap and main partition and do a clean reinstall using the unclaimed space after the partirtions are remnoved? [06:22] kahrytan: i cant stand ie, i only ever use it to test websites i have created and never to view any one elses =S [06:22] jscinoz: 2.5.0.4 [06:22] tiago_, me too [06:22] tiago_, I switched off ie to opera then to firefox (before i switch to linux) [06:22] shadeofgrey, "sudo swapoff -a" [06:23] ebirtaid: given my prediction we will all have to much time on our hands soon, and endless novilty with which to consume it [06:23] shadeofgray, i think the reason you cannot delete is because it is mounted, try searching if it is possible to unmount it first. [06:23] whatever you say [06:23] shadeofgray: sudo swapoff or w/e [06:23] so, does anybody know why gnome-splashscreen-manager automatically closes when i ask it to install a log in splash? [06:23] shadeofgray: to stop the LiveCD from using the swap part [06:24] and i do that from az terminl while the liveCD is loaded? [06:24] shadeofgrey, Yes [06:25] tiago_, you been osx86project site? [06:25] kahrytan: firefox in my opinion has been a great means to demonstrating the power and versatility of open source to the nonbelievers [06:25] kahrytan: yeah several times [06:25] is there an easy way to get php4 onto gutsy? [06:26] kahrytan: i found interesting the notion of running linux under alternate hardware such as video game consoles as this eliviates the shortcommings of linux as a gaming platform and also enhances consoles into fully functioning pc's [06:26] heh [06:27] osmosis, why would you want to do that (tm) [06:27] how to exit vim? [06:27] keitherz: :q [06:27] tiago_, you do know tivo runs linux? [06:27] pbx: so I can get a legacy php4 app running with too much trouble. [06:27] good night chanel [06:28] kahrytan: to me this presents a promising future for linux, and possible financial support from company's like sony, not to mention it would be a huge sting for micorsoft and there attempted monopoly on the gaming world [06:28] kahrytan: wow i never new that, thats awsome [06:28] uhm [06:28] microsoft is FAR from having a monopoly in gaming [06:28] I need some help [06:28] eh wha.. gaming world.... just stepped in [06:28] kahrytan: i realy would like to see more portable devices such as pocketpc's/umpc's running linux [06:28] kahrytan, tiago_ Let's see how long they use Linux now that the GPL v3 is out :) [06:28] I had ntfs on first partition, ubuntu on the second [06:28] ebirtaid, wrong. M$ does have monopoly [06:29] is there any substitute to gnome-splashscreen-manager? [06:29] in gaming? [06:29] cloned to hd to a larger one [06:29] jordan_U thats a good point [06:29] osmosis, wow, it's really not there! I'm surprised. [06:29] you're serious? [06:29] resized it using gparted [06:29] iobelisk, splashy? [06:29] and now I get a grub error 17 [06:29] hi,guys [06:29] jordan_U how ever the power of linux is not in its kernal, its in the open source ideology, it is one that has empowered human beings [06:29] okay apparently nautilus decided to not manage my desktop anymore [06:29] what do I need to do [06:29] pbx: yah, edgy was the last release that had it. [06:29] is this the right place to ask for help on that, or could somebody kindly point me to the right chanel? [06:29] there is no background, icons, context menu [06:29] Jordan_U, I know. gpl literally screwed one of OSS best advertisers [06:30] on the background [06:30] pbx, would splashy also edit the default login splash or only boot splash? [06:30] there are panels tho [06:30] when i boot 7.10 livecd,i get cannot display video mode message [06:30] <_narcarsiss> how do i get that 3dcube view of windows in fiesty ? [06:30] how to solve this? [06:30] Jordan_U, I guess tivo has to adapt [06:30] josss, Have you tried booting into safe graphics mode? [06:30] iobelisk, not sure. i'm kind of a fringe user, off here in wmii land [06:31] can I ask for help on grub ? [06:31] Jordan_U: yeah,but still does not works [06:31] I've googled about it [06:31] pbx: you ever used pbuilder? http://tumbleweed.org.za/2007/06/10/php4-for-feisty-pbuilder-for-beginners/ [06:31] but Ilve almost got it [06:31] I just need one question [06:31] osmosis, is the app that bad? I recently had a shared server upgraded from 4. to 5 without my knowledge and all my legacy code there just kept on working.... [06:31] osmosis, no [06:31] how do I get the de menu.lst file from a live cd? [06:31] tiago_, http://dynamic.tivo.com/linux/linux.asp [06:31] i dont think GPL 3 will be the end of linux, but rather an enabler of the punctuated flow of novelty, it will alowe other kernals to experiance similar success to what linux has and as the software will be open source the success would be one that is shared [06:31] Jordan_U: i use 60Hz refresh rate monitor,need to change VGA setting? [06:32] _narcarsiss: system > preferences > appearence > visual efects will let you switch [06:32] josss, Safe graphics mode *is* VGA [06:32] josss, could I ask you for a quick help? [06:33] I'm stuck on something rather simple [06:33] sorry to interrupt you [06:33] ok [06:33] thanks [06:33] kahrytan: thats awsome dude [06:33] let me run down the sitaution once again [06:33] osmosis, looks like it's build-your-own time: http://www.php.net/downloads.php#v4 [06:33] I cloned my hd to a larger one [06:33] 1st partition using ntfs 2nd using ubuntu [06:33] pbx: will that build mod_php for apache also? [06:34] tiago_, Tivo might just adapt to gplv3. I think they like helping linux out [06:34] resized my partition [06:34] Jordan_U: do you mean if i changed VGA setting,i need to select safe graphics mode? [06:34] with gparted [06:34] kahrytan: i find it amusing tivo uses linus but also asp... [06:34] pbx: as well as the command line version? [06:34] now I get an error 17 on the first grub screen [06:34] Hi [06:34] :] [06:34] blayde, ASP works on linux. [06:34] osmosis, don't know, but I would suspect yes [06:34] so I got some info that says to check my menu.lst file [06:34] but how do I access it with a live cd? [06:34] osmosis, but have you tried the app under PHP5? You know it's bad legacy code? [06:34] kahrytan: the biggest battle front for premoting any operating system has to be at a primary school level, steve jobs knew this, and i think if linux is to have a succesfull future it must also take this aproch [06:34] kahrytan: i suppose there is a mono thing for it... [06:34] josss, No, nvm I thought that you just wanted to use the VGA driver ( vesa in Linux ), I just misunderstood what you said [06:35] since I know that when I type cd /boot [06:35] from the live cd [06:35] <_-Narcarsiss> how do i get the 3dcube view of windows in fiesty ? [06:35] it takes me to the boot part in the live cd [06:35] how do i get root permission?

[06:46] Window Manager [06:46] im trying to install pidgin on 7.04, but its not in the reopsitories, and i dont know how to compile the files from the site [06:46] tiago_, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYY-g6ionzM with touchscreen + starcraft [06:46] intsarts: took me a day to get it sorted and have had the best results since compared to any other torrent client [06:46] uh oh, is this a ubuntu term? i know win98 . . . :-( [06:46] josss, If you don't know how to edit your xorg.conf manually then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [06:46] noobuntu, I'm partial to wmii.suckless.org but most people find that a little weird. [06:46] acdcZZTOP: you can add a third-party repo [06:46] what is a window manager? [06:46] acdcZZTOP: I use the Debuntu repo [06:46] Debuntu? [06:46] where can i get that one from? [06:47] pbx: i dont think the wait will be as long as we currently predict, consider i was born into a world populated by software and as i have matured so has that software, though the maturing has been exponential, as i g through my trancendence into the reality of conciousness interacting with software nativly i think the technology will also do so [06:47] acdcZZTOP: http://repository.debuntu.org [06:47] nooguy, It manages your windows [06:47] Jordan_U: what i i want to edit it manually? [06:47] or if you want to try automatically first: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" [06:47] intsarts: it is set up from a dot file in your /home directory [06:47] okay, so xubuntu, you suggest, or dsl, or puppy [06:47] thanks [06:47] * nooguy heads to google for "window manager" [06:47] tiago_, the hardware isn't maturing very fast though. 25 years ago I had a 12" screen on my home computer, now I have a 15" screen. It's a nicer screen, but... [06:47] warbler, i think that i stay to deluge, i have used it earlier [06:48] k [06:48] tiago_, see the videos? [06:48] pbx: agreed, but the force of the atractor is so great that what its atracting us towares in inevidable [06:48] josss, Can you rephrase that please [06:48] kahrytan: yeah i have seen that before, very cool technology [06:48] tiago_, sure, in the abstract. Devil is in the details though :) [06:49] josss, do "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [06:49] tiago_, Not much that Windows or OSX can do that Linux can't do [06:49] nooguy, I think you may find Xubuntu is pushing the limits of 128MB. At least I did. It's nice, but I hit swap pretty quick. [06:49] and see if is in order there [06:49] Windows can blue screen. :P [06:49] pbx: we must model our technology's on those we encounter in nature to the point where a computer closly resembles a dmt molocule [06:49] 128mb of ram is outrageously low [06:49] 256 here, kind of low to [06:49] pbx: so dsl or fluxbuntu or something? [06:49] i should go and buy some more [06:50] tiago_, not exactly a small project! [06:50] oh wait. xubuntu's vile. forget i recommended it :P [06:50] nooguy, Yeah. [06:50] Jordan_U: sorry,i mistype [06:50] thingummywut: just if you want x11 [06:50] great, thanks for the pointers, all [06:50] riotkittie, xubuntu is cool [06:50] xubuntu is great [06:50] pbx: we arnt the only inteligences working on this project, we have a symbiotic relationship with the computer minds that are also being atracted to this point in history, or the end of history [06:50] man you are insane [06:50] W: GPG error: http://repository.debuntu.org feisty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 0E466170BCF1FC29 [06:50] W: GPG error: http://repository.debuntu.org edgy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 0E466170BCF1FC29 [06:50] W: GPG error: http://repository.debuntu.org dapper Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 0E466170BCF1FC29 [06:50] nooguy, Here is a link to download fluxbuntu fluxbuntu-7.10-installer-i386.iso [06:50] nooguy, Just listen for the sound of your HD churning endlessly. When you hear it, you need either more RAM or a lighter weight distro. [06:51] Jordan_U: what is xorg.conf file look like and how can i change my refresh rate setting? [06:51] how do i prevent X from starting up in ubuntu, i want it to start in TERMINAL and only run X when i manually type the "startx" command [06:51] pbx: we will help the computers help us reach our symbiotic potential [06:51] !boot | ksilkster [06:51] ksilkster: 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 [06:51] tiago_, I have to disagree with you there. It's pretty much us making stuff happen, or not. Computers are still pretty dumb and powerless. [06:51] ksilkster, Disable gdm from starting automatically at boot [06:51] ksilkster: 1) disable gdm/kdm/xdm [06:51] josss, xorg.conf is the configuration settings to X, your "screen server". the refresh settings and all are in it [06:51] pbx: we are 2 forms of inteligence that have a huge impact on one and other, we programe them and they shape us [06:51] heh, i hear that already every time I click a menu that's not loaded in win98 [06:51] a computer is a box [06:51] where are .kmap files located? [06:51] it has no intelligence or free will [06:52] ksilkster: edit initscript [06:52] google xorg.conf and you'll get a good manual of it, josss [06:52] is there a GUI option for disabling GDM from starting @ boot ? [06:52] ksilkster: yes [06:52] hello [06:52] tiago_, http://www.linuxalt.com/ [06:52] tiago_, Linux Alternatives to Windows apps [06:52] hey guys, i was wondering if you could help me. im trying to install compiz and this is what i get in terminal: Reading package lists... Done [06:52] Building dependency tree [06:52] Reading state information... Done [06:52] E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager [06:52] ksilkster: single :) [06:52] kahrytan: in my opinion, and from my experience, on low end hardware, it is not. in comparison to other distros using xfce, i have found it to be sheer failure in terms of performance time and time again. [06:52] nooguy, There is also Xubuntu here http://xubuntu.org/ [06:52] crown [06:52] pbx: it is out of the necessity that we have created these machines and they can help us think of ways to improve that process [06:52] thingummywut: so for this case,i only need to change the refresh rate setting? [06:53] riotkittie, for low end hardware, it's not good. It's becoming more resource heavy. [06:53] crown_ can u direct me where in ubuntu via GUI, where i can diable GDM ? [06:53] tiago you watched the matrix too many times [06:53] jordan_U: i've been shooed away from xubuntu [06:53] that could solve the problem, josss [06:53] ksilkster, See the link from ubot3 [06:53] (by the channel) [06:53] pbx: there is no way we could even dream of working at a nano technolical level with out the assistance of powerfull computers [06:53] ksilkster: GUI = you are already in ubuntu right? [06:53] just type "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" into terminal and find the refresh rate there [06:53] nooguy, Then fluxbuntu it is I guess :) [06:53] !forums [06:53] The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. [06:53] :-) [06:53] nooguy, Or another distro entirely [06:53] how do i add a *.kmap file so i can use it/ [06:54] crown_, not necessarily, there's the server version [06:54] unless I misunderstand you [06:54] ksilkster: Administration => Services => disable GDM [06:54] which is possible due to the wine-in-a-box [06:54] pbx: is there x11 in server edition? (e.g. GUI) [06:54] pbx: for me as an artist i think my focus should be on virtualizing the phychedilic experianc with in these new emerging platforms and helping to create a reality of mind and pure energy [06:54] tiago_, this is awesome weed [06:54] wait, did i say that out loud [06:55] pbx: lol [06:55] hi [06:55] man... if only I wasnt on probation. [06:55] jordan_u: all my friends talk about the simplicity of ubuntu, even over windows (which is what i know), and that's my main reason fro wanting to go with ubuntu. but i gather than ubuntu has several flavors, ie xubuntu, fluxbuntu, nunbuntu, etc. [06:55] thingummywut: if i use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" will it automatically set up for me? [06:55] :) [06:55] josss, that way you get options to choose from [06:55] tiago_, check the list? [06:55] and if you do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" it's even more automated [06:55] anyone know where the *.kmap files are located? [06:55] does anyone know a fix for my problem? [06:56] pbx: linux has become as much of a birthright for the human race as the use of phychactive drugs sanctioned by thousands of years of human usage [06:56] nooguy: kubuntu is much like windows [06:56] tiago_: you're blazed out arent you bud? [06:56] sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet [06:56] hi [06:56] jordan_u: i don't really care what flavor or distro (?) i use, but i want ease of use, for it to just work, and to hopefully let my old hardware live a while longer [06:56] if you're someone who catches on quick, or is at least eager to learn, i'd recommend fluxbox [or something similar] on top of a minimal install, or fluxubuntu, over another distro. simply because of the community and the help that will be accessible to you. which is a huge plus when first switching to linux [06:56] nooguy, get Xubuntu is my piece of advice [06:56] Xubunu is the best [06:56] i just came from Windows 2000 to Xubuntu. it works great except the monitor issue [06:56] nooguy, I have never tried Fluxbuntu but it looks good from the site [06:56] how to install telnet on centOS5 [06:56] thingummywut: so use '"-phigh" will be more easier? [06:56] Regular Ubuntu sucks from my experience tonight [06:57] i could try Dapper Drake version and see if that works [06:57] Gnome is terrible [06:57] tiago_ I think you should take your gibberish to off-topic [06:57] kahrytan: yeah man thats incredible how many packages are being worked on in the multimedia realm and the fact that they are opensource is testament that they will soon rival there comcercial counterparts [06:57] josss, yes, just try it out. none of the options is very hard [06:57] nooguy, can't you get a little more RAM? even 256MB opens up a lot of doors. I had 128MB in my shitbox extra laptop and somebody *gave* me 128 more because there was nothing else they could do with it. [06:57] probation... like, the court style? [06:57] wittaya: why do you want telnet? [06:57] yes [06:57] haha, we have some zealots here! xubuntu, fluxbox, dsl, puppy linux [06:57] no centOS5 [06:57] khin yes. got caught with some buddah [06:57] wittaya: yes isnt an answer to a why:P [06:57] tiago_, I think I just found you the premier alternative for you [06:57] like manually configuring, there's just lines "VertRefresh" and "HorizRefresh" or something and you type the refresh rates there [06:57] it's not difficult [06:57] i have a microsoft ergonomic keyboard 4000... and i'm trying to get the 'ALT' button to work. it doesnt have any effect when i push it. ideas? [06:58] pbx: i suppose that is a possibliity, hadn't even thought about it [06:58] People recommending xubuntu to nooguy should stipulate whether they have actually run it with 128MB of RAM. I have. It's fine until you hit swap. [06:58] kahrytan: excellent [06:58] only remember to do "sudo" everytime you do those, they require root privileges to edit [06:58] pcfluxboxos [06:58] pbx: is it hard to install more ram? [06:58] how long'd you get [06:58] i've run xubuntu on 256mb of RAM. i wrote bad poetry. [06:58] nooguy, not usuallly. [06:58] nooguy: no [06:58] Well I'm running regular Ubuntu right now with 256 ram on a PIII/800 [06:58] thingummywut: now,i want to reinstall ubuntu.hope it will works.thanks for helping me. [06:58] anyone know where I can find the *.kmap files? [06:58] if we're going to push xfce, i recommend zenwalk [06:58] josss, i might do the same [06:58] seeing as how Xfce is lighter than GNome, I am positive it will work. [06:58] i don't mind meddling, but i've never messed with my hardware [06:58] riotkittie: ive ran gnome partialy on 32mb of ram [06:58] zenwalk is nice [06:58] So by inferrance, Xubuntu is what you need [06:58] also sam [06:59] riotkittie: the 32mb ram system ran X and an xterm [06:59] nilson_, "positive" means not positive. either you've actually done it yourself or you haven't. [06:59] riotkittie: everything else ran on a diff system [06:59] nooguy, Not usiually, just look at how the other ram is installed, look to the right or left of it and put the new ram in the slot :) [06:59] could i get my screen working in Xubuntu Dapper Drake? Now using Gutsy and having the same problems i had with Feisty [06:59] tiago_, I think combination of Blender and Linux video editor would be good === gad_ is now known as gadiez [06:59] * nilson_ looks at his cat [07:00] aight f-it I'm gone. I've fought with linux enough tonight [07:00] hello ... how can i find my external hard drive's uuid and change its mount point? i'd really appreciate some help [07:00] well, since all my data is backed up at this point, in preparation for a switch, i don't suppose it'd be big deal to just "try them all" [07:00] nilson_: i've run xubuntu on a 650/750mhz p3, 256MB. it ran just. like. gnome. it's ugly. [07:00] kahrytan: i would be interested to sample some of the results people have achieved with those 2 packages [07:00] this livecd thing looks swell [07:00] tiago_, there is 6 premier alternatives [07:00] no one here has installed compiz on ubuntu 7.10? [07:00] liveCD wont work for you with your amount of RAM :P [07:00] i can actually run it without installing it [07:00] anyone hear news about nivia fixing the flickering caused by their driver? [07:00] lilmike09: Compiz is preinstalled on 7.10 [07:01] nooguy, The LiveCD will usually use more RAM and run *MUCH* slower than an installed version, just so you know [07:01] current recommendation is 256MB, i believe. maybe 192. [07:01] or i CAN'T actually run it without installing it. :-( [07:01] how do i access it? [07:01] haha, the world wants me to upgrade [07:01] kahrytan: wow, wont be long now till multimedia artists every where start flocking to the new medium [07:01] nooguy, You can run DSL without installing it [07:01] lilmike09: System -> Preferences -> Apperance, visual effects tab [07:01] riotkittie: ive had the livecd partialy work on 64mb of ram before [07:01] another stick of ram, and you'll be fine. try freecycle. [07:01] and my 60 year old self refuses. the silicon still works, so why throw it out? [07:02] tiago_, ever use Winamp? [07:02] nooguy, Don't give in!! [07:02] riotkittie: i haxed it up a bit to enable swap before it booted(init=/bin/bash to get a shell early on and enable swap) [07:02] :) [07:02] lilmike09, there's a whole #compiz-fusion channel [07:02] haha @ jordan_u. NEVER! [07:02] do i choose normal or extra? [07:02] does anyone know how to get more keyboard layouts? or add them? [07:02] kahrytan: i have in the past on windows [07:02] hello [07:02] alright, thanks all. i've got some avenues to explore. thank you kindly [07:02] lilmike09: Whichever you want, extra has the wobbly windows and stuff, normal is just drop-shadows [07:03] clever: that's fine and everything but something tells me that the average person on the verge of trying linux for the first time lacks the ability to "hax it up a bit" [07:03] tiago_, XMSS/Audacious is just like it and compatible with winamp classic skins. Google Desktop search and Picasa is on linux too [07:03] kahrytan: what music program do you find your self using under linux? [07:03] riotkittie: yeah:P [07:03] ok ill choose extra, does it also include that 3d box thing? [07:03] lilmike09, And if you want more choices install ccsm === gadiez_ is now known as febry [07:03] tiago_, just to play music? Audacious. [07:03] !ccsm | lilmike09 [07:03] lilmike09: 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 [07:03] Hi! Why booting a thin client with pxelinux.0 is faster than using nbi.img. What's the difference? What's nbi.img? Help please. [07:03] riotkittie: that reminds me [07:04] <_|Nix|_> Hey! Watch NASA TV. One of the astronauts is being guided through a root login on one of their floating laptops. Go Ubuntu! [07:04] riotkittie: i still have that 200mb swap image on my fat32 partition [07:04] lol [07:04] kahrytan: yeah im a little weary of googles infiltration into the desktop search, considering they have the capacity to be viewed as an inteligence agency, would you run FBI or CIA desktop search software? lol [07:04] tiago_, I dont use any kind of desktop search. [07:04] tiago_, I just keep my folders orangized. [07:04] linux has the locate program [07:05] which is basicaly a file index [07:05] kahrytan: lol me to, im very pedantic in creating order from chaos [07:05] tiago_, Ironic cuz I dont keep my apt as organized. [07:05] i can search several drives(across many computers) in seconds using locate [07:05] Anyone know how to get Quake 3 running? I inserted my old Quake 3 disc, installed quake3-data and it downloaded the point release and read the disc but I don know where to go from here. [07:05] kahrytan: haha yes ironic indeed, i have my exceptions to, like my documents folder in windows [07:06] tiago_, ever buy itunes music? [07:06] How can i ensure that a kernel module for the video driver that i just installed will load on reboot? [07:06] Ubuntu's pretty clever with locate. Does it do some kind of incremental update when you install software? I swear it's more up to date than any cronjob. [07:06] kahrytan: how does audacity fair when compared with say rythembox? [07:06] tiago_, audacity is audio editor really. Rhythmbox is more like itunes. [07:07] tiago_ is a utopian. He doesn't collude with DRM conspiracies. [07:07] kahrytan: audacious rather [07:07] ckw, Even if it doesn't X should still start [07:07] Gaack, where's the Plugin-Finder wizard for Azureus? [07:07] . [07:07] pbx: hahaha well put my friend [07:07] tiago_, Audacity would be something you would use when making videos. Edit the audio and import in audio. [07:07] It's missing in the packaged version. [07:07] *import in video [07:07] ckw, And you usually don't need to restart just for graphics drivers [07:07] pbx: i havent noticed those inc updates [07:07] i have Ubuntu 7.10 i386 desktop edition installed on my PC... i have a problem with my login window resolution not being correct... i expect that if i set my screen resolution to 1280x960 pixels that the login window would be the same resolution... but this is not the case by me... please tell me how can i override the current (i think it's 640x480) resolution and make it 1280x960 for the login window... please help [07:08] pbx: but that would be usefull i find(update a branch of the tree on demand) [07:08] tiago_, Have you ever bought itunes music? [07:08] Jordan_U:i was hoping you'd pick up on this...you help me nicely the other night...yeah X still loads but it comes up in low res mode [07:08] Linux linux 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux, but the X-fi drivers say that Im running a 32bit system.. Why? [07:08] ckw, What GPU and how did you install the driver? [07:08] I actually rolled iTunes back to 5, so I could de-DRM the music I got (from a gift card). [07:09] clever, I may be imagining it. But I'm used to the nightly db update on my FreeBSD box and I swear my gutsy laptop is doing something smarter. [07:09] kahrytan: i dont think i have ever bought music in general? not really, i freely appreciate an artist medium as i would a flower in a field [07:09] blueuntu, if they work, who cares" [07:09] blueuntu, ? [07:09] tiago_, If you have, qtfairuse6 (win app) will decrypt the music. [07:09] Creative sucks, that's why. [07:09] . [07:09] pbx: i still have a cronjob that runs updatedb [07:09] pbx: and i often notice the cpu usage it causes [07:09] Then 5 started crashing every time I tried to sort anything, so I went back to 4.9. [07:09] ubuntu is wicked [07:09] i cant copy files from external firewire drive to computer [07:09] Evanlec: they won't install, bevause they say that Im running a 32bit system [07:09] the alt key on my ms ergonomic keyboard 4000 doesnt work.... ideas? (i have gutsy), using the kbd driver with the "pc105" or "pc104" model... neither work. [07:09] tiago_, And thanks to amazon, I can buy drm free mp3s now. [07:09] kahrytan: oh cool, i have accidently downloaded some music encrypted in apples evil format and did manage to convert it to mp3 [07:09] it says pipe failed [07:10] too many fiels open [07:10] And please stop saying Creative sucks [07:10] blueuntu, and u downloaded the 64bit drives? [07:10] Jordan_U:heres the scoop...nvidia pci dual head 64mb 440mx...using the 96.43.01 legacy driver on a 7.10 386 kernel [07:10] how come my multimedia keyboard works out of the box? [07:10] and now my desktop seriously froze [07:10] Evanlec: They only have 64bit drivers [07:10] does ubuntu already come with a preconfigured keyboard config? [07:10] ckw, how did you install the driver? [07:10] blueuntu, really? thats a first [07:10] actually alt key works in gdm (alt + tab) but doesnt work inside any apps like firefox or xchat [07:10] cwgannon, sudo blkid will list all your uuid's, the other part I don't know [07:10] blueuntu, 64bit drivers and no 32bit drivers lol [07:10] Evanlec: opencource.creative.com go figure [07:10] i can't click icons anymore on the desktop [07:10] Nyle, but media keyboards? [07:10] Nyle, Yup :) [07:10] Oh yeah, I figured out how to get software EAX on ANY sound card with Host OpenAL, even under Windows XP. [07:10] how can I get wine to run a windows app as if its XP instead of 98 or whatever? [07:10] Nyle, for media keyboards? [07:11] Nyle, For most keyboards, not all of course [07:11] anyone? [07:11] kahrytan: cool, i like the drm free part, though doesnt buying it soft of defeat the perpous of the digital medium? information is not a commodity when it can be replicated infinitely and shared with the world [07:11] Jordan_U:as per the instructions...shell to a prompt kill gdm and then run the installer [07:11] blueuntu, what type of processor? [07:11] Nyle, check out keytouch software for media access keyboards. [07:11] themoebius: wincfg (in there you can set what winblows version it claims to be) [07:11] do i have to edit my Xorg.conf? [07:11] themoebius: winecfg * [07:11] ckw, Did restricted driver manager not work? [07:11] Evanlec: Intel Core 2 64bit EMT [07:11] ACtually, just look in Gnome keyboard preferences. [07:12] i really wanna use ubuntu for everything but its a royal pain doing trying to do the things i want to do [07:12] tiago_, Amazon sells actual mp3s. [07:12] the icons on my desktop disappeared [07:12] * DanaG rips CDs to Ogg [Vorbis]. [07:12] Any idea why when running dual screen with a nvidia 7300 with envy driver install and compiz enabled that one of the screens the windows are borderless and the other is fine [07:12] cesar__, killall nautilus [07:12] tiago_, and funny thing is. They are working on Linux client for the downloader. [07:12] I need a good day planner, any recomendations? [07:12] ok killed nautilus [07:12] icons stilll missing [07:12] folks, i have gutsy. the 'Alt' key doesn't work inside any app (other then alt+tab inside the Shell) when i load compiz..... when i load metacity, i can use alt inside apps.... is there anyway of fixing? [07:12] someone please respond [07:13] Jordan_U:nope....since I am using this legacy card...whenever i use the restricted driver manager it always installs a version too new for the card [07:13] I guess the only solution is to throw out ubuntu and go for fedora [07:13] blueuntu, what is your soundcard model? [07:13] i click on the display folders, and the icon just spins [07:13] kahrytan: lol thats great news [07:13] nothing shows up [07:13] r00723r0, Do you still get effects on the screen without window borders? Can you still move the windows at all? [07:13] Evanlec: X-fi Music [07:13] cesar__, you could install gtweakui to set up those lements [07:13] sudo apt-get install gtweakui [07:13] i can move the windows by holding alt [07:13] ckw, You can also install the nvidia-legacy package :) [07:13] i just want nautilus back [07:13] how do i do that [07:13] Take a look at their installer script, and try to figure out where it checks for 64-bit-ness. [07:13] kahrytan: ill brb im just going to fix my self some thing to eat, unfortunately my body still has needs my computer cant satisfy =P [07:13] blueuntu, is it the XtremeMusic ? [07:14] cesar__, nautilus restart itself automatically [07:14] Evanlec: yeah [07:14] tiago_, If you use Linux, you can currently buy individual songs. A Linux version of the Amazon MP3 Downloader is under development, and when released will allow entire album purchases. [07:14] DanaG: a bit too complicated [07:14] nothings happening, nothing shows up onn the desktop anymore [07:14] ckw, Can you pastebin the output ( if there is any ) of "sudo modprobe nvidia" ? [07:14] cesar__, you could do ctrl alt backspace to restart your X server [07:15] Jordan_U:Right....that is what i have been doing....its all working perfectly right now....i just want it to survive a reboot of the system without having to reinstall the driver so the module will be inplace [07:15] and relogin [07:15] blueuntu, did u look at the readme file in the tar? [07:15] kahrytan: thats cool, did you know they had bittorrent clients on linux as well? [07:15] ok ill try that [07:15] Anyone tried the DesktopBSD? It broke my box. :( [07:15] tiago_: NO KIDDING!?!?!?!?! [07:15] tiago_, did you know utorrent works flawlessly under WINE in linux? [07:15] Are there any good programs for running desktop widgets in GNOME? gDesklets doesn't seem so great these days [07:15] Evanlec: yes, it's checks platform trough uname -i, but that reports unknown [07:15] ckw, If it works now it should work after a reboot... have you experienced otherwise before? [07:16] kahrytan: oh cool, ill have to try that === grif- is now known as tomg === tomg is now known as grif- [07:16] Jordan_U:yes i will do the pastebin thing...gimme a minute...i havent ever used pastebin before but i went over and looked at it and i think i got the gist of it [07:16] <_narcarsiss> what is the best: lg3d compiz or beryl [07:16] kahrytan: i wonder if there is a way to resume downloads i have begun in windows? [07:16] tia I use Utorrent and Deluge. deluge supports utorrent features + plus peerguardian lists. [07:16] ckw: you paste text then click a button is it that complicated? [07:16] Jordan_U:yes indeed...mt experience has been that it comes back in loe res mode [07:16] do i like not exist? [07:16] how was the web protocol that installs packages from firefox? [07:16] tiago_, if it is a torre,t then just copy the data file [07:16] blueuntu, ah, well i guess thats the problem then... [07:16] <_narcarsiss> internetdownloadmaniager.com <== best download manager windows [07:16] fn'GutsyUser: ? [07:16] which uTorrent are you using? dont use anything over 1.6.1 [07:17] Evanlec: removeing that string [07:17] tiago_, The client will check the downloaded data then resume. [07:17] ebirtaid, yes hello [07:17] blueuntu, replace it with uname -r [07:17] i have Ubuntu 7.10 i386 desktop edition installed on my PC... i have a problem with my login window resolution not being correct... i expect that if i set my screen resolution to 1280x960 pixels that the login window would be the same resolution... but this is not the case by me... please tell me how can i override the current (i think it's 640x480) resolution and make it 1280x960 for the login window... please help [07:17] ubuntu let me feel those tits [07:17] ebirtaid:gimme a break...i am an old guy...not with a quick mind like you guys...plus i am very cautious...what can i say? ;-) [07:17] hehe k :D [07:17] kahrytan: ill have to give that a try, more often then not i return to windows before i go to bed simply to resume downloads, but this would bypass that need all together [07:17] gutsyuser: not too sure on that, they are the same resolution on my machine [07:17] downloads themes beryl for gnome [07:18] tiago_, legal downloads right? [07:18] ebirtaid, not the same here [07:18] odd, maybe check the forums? [07:18] kahrytan: why of course, naturally ;-) [07:18] kahrytan have you tried Ktorrent? [07:18] there's no separate setting for the screen resolution in Xorg.conf [07:18] <_narcarsiss> where can i get unofficial ubuntu fiesty ropoistorys to install things like all linux apps etc... [07:19] Jordan_U:no output from modprobe nvidia [07:19] actually you can set screen res in xorg.conf [07:19] Can someone PLEASE tell me why the fu** Gnome continues to start in "low-graphics mode" even though I just went thru `sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org` ?! [07:19] inverse, yeah and i hate it. Deluge is better [07:19] ckw, Did you follow these instructions : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual ? [07:19] let me rephrase that... there's no separate setting for the Login Window resolution in Xorg.conf [07:19] I'm getting a little frustrated [07:19] tiago_, http://iplist.sourceforge.net/ [07:19] ah [07:19] yea true [07:19] Jordan_U:let me take a look [07:19] tiago_, to use peerguardian iplists. [07:19] maybe there is a gdm.conf somewhere? [07:19] man [07:19] Phaqui, What GPU ? [07:19] I love this thing [07:19] why is deluge better? [07:19] I have no idea [07:20] inverse: prefernce [07:20] kahrytan: i cant say i do [07:20] it's a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 card [07:20] +e [07:20] inverse, ummmmm peerguardian import lists? [07:20] dunno what GPU is on that one, but it used to work flawlessly in 7.04 [07:20] Phaqui, And you are setting the driver to "nvidia" ? [07:20] ...so did ALSA... [07:20] It must be the new upgrade, which is why I tried installing DesktopBSD as an experiment....only both broke my box...so I reinstalled Feisty [07:20] folks, i have gutsy. the 'Alt' key doesn't work inside any app (other then alt+tab inside the Shell) when i load compiz..... when i load metacity, i can use alt inside apps.... is there anyway of fixing? [07:20] kahrytan: im not terrably concerned with privacy as i live in australia and our population is still to small to worry about [07:21] hi [07:21] Phaqui, Are you are setting the driver to "nvidia" ? [07:21] tiago_, ohhh down under eh [07:21] uhm, in my xorg.conf file it says it's "nv" (which is the drivers by Ubuntu, i.e. not the restricted ones) [07:21] but [07:21] isnt it better to run peerguardian seperately of a torrent client, then it will be active for whatever net based transfers you are up to [07:21] Phaqui, try Restricted Drivers. [07:21] if I open up my Screen and Graphics Preferences, the driver is "vesa" [07:21] I *DID* [07:21] Phaqui, It'll work or should. I have the same card [07:21] yea [07:22] it *should* [07:22] but doesn't [07:22] Phaqui, Hmm, sounds like the nv drivers aren't working for some reason [07:22] kahrytan: its a great country to live in, especially if you dont watch tv [07:22] /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common [07:22] well.. [07:22] Phaqui: Which card do you have? [07:22] Look in there; make sure the packaged nvidia are disabled. === XB23 is now known as bsdnewb07 [07:22] tiago_, thats what you got eztv for :-P [07:22] NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 [07:22] kahrytan: hehehe [07:22] Phaqui, Device "nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]" [07:23] <_narcarsiss> How do i change GDM sessions ? is it throught the logon screen [07:23] Phaqui: Me too, had some problems with the online upgrade [07:23] gdm sessions? what do you mean [07:23] kahrytan, NV36.2 [07:23] no wait [07:23] <[chr0n0s]> hi, my xfce4-panel doesn't start at login, how do i fix it ?

[07:38] wait, it is mounted, sorry [07:39] cwgannon: What happens when you try to format it? [07:39] is there another way of checking weather or not the gup fan is running ??/ [07:39] unmount it first [07:39] why many linux people grow hair long?

Since I upgraded, wireless fails to start properly. Once box is up, I need to "/etc/init.d/networking restart" before network starts working. Where can I get help? I think there is a bug! [07:40] linuxocalypse, its his video card fan, not cpu [07:40] ckw, :) [07:40] thing is, i'm running virtualbox and it keeps telling me that my virtual disk image is full, which it isn't ... which leads me to wonder if there's either a) a limit to file size in ext3 or b) something wrong w/ my permissions? [07:40] Jordan_U, why it's so? like shaving gel is cheap and going on barbers' isn't also a big deal [07:41] Evanlec: Okay, gotcha [07:41] * PurpZeY shaves as he pleases...and does similarly with his hair subject to laziness quotients [07:41] olie, go to system > prefs > sessions and add your command there [07:41] goons [07:41] is there a file size limit in ext3? [07:41] Evanlec: Is that really fixing the problem? [07:41] no [07:41] very good documentary about linux: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3498228245415745977 [07:42] That is definitely goatse === ubotu is now known as jstickidd [07:42] or something [07:42] linuxocalypse: the cpu fan is certainly runing [07:42] cwgannon, do u have it set as a static image size or a dynamically expanding? [07:42] dynamically expanding ... wondering if i can switch it to a static size to solve this, but i can't figure out how [07:43] francis: Okay....and I should ask, do you have a desktop or a laptop? [07:43] laptop [07:43] that's just for startup [07:43] wish it was my desktop i could have jsut opened it [07:43] francis: Does your lappy have side vents? [07:43] Evanlec no this is not the issue. Networking service starts, but it FAILS! I need to re-run by hand before it starts. I think I know what the problem is, but I dont know how to fix it. Also, the fix is maybe general enough to improve the service for all users. [07:43] is 80C normal for a nVidia 6150 [07:44] francis: I may well be wrong, but I thought there was a package or compilable program that might give you that info [07:44] linuxocalypse: it does have side vents [07:44] olie, okay...but u said all u had to do was restart networking to fix it [07:44] Evanlec yes [07:44] i got to look up lm-sensor PurpZeY [07:44] Evanlec: do you know anything about this problem or changing my dynamic image to a static one? [07:45] olie, so im saying if u put that in your sessions file, it will restart networking when u login and thus your networking should work when u get to desktop [07:45] francis: What does your screen look like....any red spots? [07:45] nope [07:45] cwgannon, no im not really sure actually [07:45] Evanlec Ah ok. [07:45] linuxocalypse: jsut checked the cpu is running at 47 [07:45] Evanlec let me understand where this file is then! [07:45] olie, system > preferences > sessions [07:46] francis: So...the video is okay? What makes you think the vid card is running hot? [07:46] Evanlec: thank you all the same [07:46] nvidia-settings reports a temprature of 80C [07:46] Evanlec System -> Prefs -> Sessions, and then??? :-( [07:46] how do i make a websight with ubuntu [07:46] i remember someone saysomething about the fan not turning on on a tx1000 [07:47] francis: Then I would have it checked out. [07:47] how do i check it out linuxocalypse [07:47] i think i need a program like apachie or smething [07:47] is the a way to look into to fan rotations [07:47] ?? [07:48] open your box francis [07:48] Evanlec I can just add a command? Where is the file? When is the command executed? I need it to be AFTER networking was first launched... [07:48] francis: It's a laptop, so I'm not sure how, but waiting on someone to tell you is waiting for impending damage to it. :-) [07:48] christ its 4am [07:48] keither1, hes on a laptop [07:48] olie, the sessions file loads after login i believe [07:49] i dont wanna go back to vista [07:49] olie, i dont know where the file is [07:49] francis: try - lm sensors [07:49] hi [07:49] 全新安装更简单些。 [07:49] Evanlec ok thx.

I'm sitting here watching Seinfeld on my laptop and all of a sudden, flash, my screen goes dark out of nowhere. Looking closer, it was still displaying image but I think the backlight went off [07:54] try gimpshop if u want the adobe feel to it [07:54] hey folk! my ALT key doesn't work when i use compiz-fusion in ubuntu gutsy.. i've tried resetting desktop effects & key bindings to default... but that didnt help.

So I did again, and here I am [07:55] how can i make ubuntu shut my computer all the way off [07:55] I'd almost say it's a firewall issue, but there is none installed [07:55] keither1: yea virtualbox [07:55] http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/6695/aaiy7.png [07:55] c my vbox pic [07:55] how can i enable 3D effects in ubuntu 7.10?

[07:56] no when my computer is shuting down i have to press the power button or it just sits there after it is done loding [07:57] Xaosratt: is not for games [07:57] josss, Try right clicking you desktop, choose 'change desktop background' and then go to the 'visual effects' tab. here you can turn it on and of. [07:57] anyone have any idea whats going on? [07:57] Xaosratt: they wanted to use adobe photoshop [07:57] cool what's the system requirements of this virtual box [07:57] lomez kinda sounds like hardware problem [07:57] Bonste1: Understood, but in your pic example, it looks like you're about to start AoE [07:57] ebirtaid i know, thats what i thought, it just started 10 minutes ago out of nowhere. any idea what kind of hardware problem it might be? [07:58] Hi [07:58] Feng: Hello [07:58] Does beagle support xchat log? [07:58] hi all! [07:58] Xaosratt: is just a chat i havent try it yet, but i heard vbox supports 2d DirectX [07:58] if its an old laptop backlight might just be dying [07:58] otherwise no ideas really [07:58] Bonste1: Ah, ok then [07:58] lassegul: it say composite extension is not avaible [07:58] maybe try rebooting or going into another OS or try restarting x [07:58] hello? what's the system requirements of this virtual box [07:58] i'm using gnome, but somehow, konqueror, konsole, ksysguard, and tons of other kde apps got installed ... can somebody please tell me the metapackage i can remove to get rid of all these? [07:59] alright ebirtaid, i did restart X, it happened again, so im guessing its just something random, hopefully not permanent [07:59] Does anyone know how to make snmpd reachable remotely on a 7.10 box? I'e tried every possible config and I can't get snmpwalk to work anywhere but on the machine itself [07:59] http://www.virtualbox.org/ [07:59] josss, ok, then you probably havent installed the right graphics driver. are you aware of what kind of graphics card you got? ATI/Nvidia/Intel? [07:59] keither1: http://www.virtualbox.org/ [07:59] lassegul: ATi [08:00] I upgraded my laptop which was running 7.04 to 7.10 and now complains about xserver being shutdown 6 times in 90 seconds... can someone please tell me what to look at to see what is wrong ? [08:00] just go to the add and remove application and search it there dude keither1 [08:00] cwgannon, kubuntu-desktop ? [08:00] josss, ok, then you have to get the fglrx drivers installed. [08:00] How do you guys uss IRC? What clients do you all use? [08:00] lassegul: it isn't installed now ... should i maybe install it and then do a complete removal? [08:01] lassegul: how can i install it? [08:01] Feng no idea bout others but pretty sure it would be xchat in most cases [08:01] Feng, I'm using xchat [08:01] feng: IRSSI! [08:01] Feng: Pidgin's built in IRC [08:01] cwgannon, you can probably do that without problems. [08:01] is what I use [08:01] So anyone know how to let Beagle to index xchat logs?

I've enabled the restricted drivers and rebooted, but I still can't run GL screensavers. [08:12] lassegul: I think he's referring to the "recycle" bin for windows [08:12] can someone help me with a sound problem on ubuntu 7.04 when i play quake [08:12] Xaosratt, i see. [08:13] lassegul: oh they actually hide that thing wow [08:13] Anyone using Pidgin? [08:13] Can anyone compare the functionality and performance of Ubuntu PPC *any version, I think 7.04 is the best?* and OS X 10.3.9 *what I have now*. I have an iMac G3 350mhz 192mb 7gb. OS X runs fine, I was just wondering if Ubuntu PPC has come along enough to match or exceed the abilities of OS X on older macs. [08:13] Cyrus25801, u probably have soundcard without hardware mixing, u need update ur audiocard or empty your soundcard (switch off proccess, using it). For looking what is using it you can use fuser, lsof. [08:13] hiiiii === XB is now known as bsdnew07 [08:14] weasel: hi, i have completed all steps at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup, and link arashOio_ to my primary-nick (this one), cloud u cloak my hostname plz? [08:15] goodhabit: i dont understand i am a bit of a noob. what do you mean empty my sound card [08:16] where's the one asking photoshop again [08:16] Cyrus25801, I am sorry, it is because I have big troubles with english - probably your card cannot be used by many processes, but only by 1. [08:16] Cyrus25801, you have built-in soundcart? [08:16] hello [08:16] hi there. [08:16] I haven't got nvidia but know that /etc/X11/xorg.conf has to be correctly edited to get some aspects of 3d working. Have a look at this then try to find out what applies to your card http://mg.pov.lt/xorg.conf === bsdnew07 is now known as bsdnewb07 [08:17] goodhabit: yes it is a onboard sound card === qwerty121 is now known as deadly_nerd [08:18] It's a bit of a minefield if u ask me but when xorg.conf is set up properly, 3d works good [08:18] wtf is ubufox?.. [08:18] !ubufox [08:18] ubufox: modifications for ubuntu firefox (default) install. In component main, is optional. Version 0.4~beta1-0ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 31 kB, installed size 208 kB [08:18] surabaya [08:18] Cyrus25801, so while your card can be used only by one process, the quake will not access the soundcard. [08:18] gerro, iceweasel 2.0? :) [08:18] gerro, i think they just condensed the name for the sake of laziness [08:18] using latest ATI driver compiz all DRI working but some mouse jerkyness anybody seen this before, and have a cure? [08:19] Moniker42: no its a plugin for firefox installed by default on gutsy. but its beta and I thought all of gutsy was stable that doesn't make sense [08:19] Cyrus25801, so you need to kill process using soundcard and run quake. Also, run please quake from console and write down the error about sound accessing here. [08:19] goodhabit: i sort of understand. i have sound in quake4 but it sounds like scrached cd [08:19] Moniker42: I just don't understand really what its purpose is [08:19] gerro, compiz fusion is still alpha... but they enabled that =\ [08:19] gerro, and i don't understand what its purpose is either ;) [08:19] aaaa [08:20] * brianski has had zero problems with compiz fusion on feisty [08:20] has anybody setup vbox with a current windows installation? [08:20] goodhabit: ok will run quake from console.will be right back [08:20] honestly the changes from compiz in feisty are pretty minor from what i've seen [08:20] "Section 'DRI' " is essential for any 3d [08:20] Guys, how I can cut video? Make some videoclips? [08:20] this might sound like a very pedestrian sort of question, but has anyone else had trouble with OpenOffice Word on Ubuntu? [08:20] soror: what sort of problems? [08:21] It's actually very predictable. When I access Options, Customize, or any of the Help menu, it crashes. [08:21] I have reinstalled and it does the same. [08:21] hey, i was wondering how i would resume a download by a program that doesn't support it? (youtube-dl froze and gave me a halfdownloaded file. i know what url it is). would wget do this? [08:21] if so how would i coax it? [08:21] Moniker42: compiz fusion isn't installed by default though is it? [08:21] has anybody setup vbox with a current windows installation? [08:21] Moniker42: I mean installed and enabled by default [08:21] soror, if u start it on console, what have console tells u on crash? [08:22] anyone? [08:22] juliodominguez, I am using virtualbox on linux with windows running in there/ [08:22] gerro, yes it's installed by default and afaik it's enabled by default if ubuntu determines that your video card can support it [08:22] is there a good tutorial/manual/walk-thru for setting up Samba as a file share in a Windows 2003 domain? [08:22] i have windows installed on the other partition, how can i setup my vbox? goodhabit [08:23] Moniker42: wow that sucks, guess I was right about xubuntu surpassing ubuntu [08:23] juliodominguez, @ version I am using vbox is not supporting using physical disk, sorry for bad english ) [08:23] goodhabit: after I exit the game this is what i get: idAudioHardwareALSA::Write: 4096 frames overflowed and dropped [08:23] snd_pcm_writei short write: 258 out of 1024 [08:24] so how are you running windows goodhabit?

[08:24] Moniker42: what I'm wondering about though is why all the metacity files are installed on xubuntu except the main part?.. [08:24] juliodominguez, just installed it on virtualbox ) [08:24] !ot [08:24] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [08:24] Thank you for asking about the console, it told me -exactly- what was wrong. [08:25] bucatoamano: what does ot stand for?

[10:08] ompaul, sry but can u get me a link for proxy tunnel i mean if u just google ull find but am currently behind proxy lol and sourceforge is banned [10:09] saloxin, I have got a lot of - # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: [10:09] siloko: why does it says for ide hdd /dev/sda? it should say hda, right? [10:09] nullkuhl, well now that is your problem ain't it - I guess you could use yahoo search and the like [10:09] saloxin, only the universe ones are uncommented [10:09] siloko: thx for the link :) [10:09] ompaul, thx anyway but most of the results in search engines are banned here [10:09] iDN: hm, no that might be the one. try it out [10:10] mandeep: and they say nothing about :8080?

Since libata uses SCSI subsystem modules your IDE would also show up as a sda device. [10:17] kazil: from linuxquestions.org [10:18] saloxin: You rock! I did another reboot just to be sure, and the disc check is gone. :) Thank you very much!

[10:23] anyone use k3b here? [10:23] hi... networking is behaving buggy.. I have two interfaces eth0 and ra0 (wifi) I use ra0 to access internet and eth0 to share internet.. but lately if I have both interfaces on ubuntu tries to use the eth0 to commuticate over internet.. and it doesn [10:23] t work [10:23] saloxin, http://pastebin.com/d2ef8275c [10:23] saloxin: No. I installed GStream from the Add/Remove in the Application menu. [10:23] where is the forcequit? [10:23] any1 have used "songbird" [10:24] saloxin: Then, when it didn't work I simply used apt-get to install the a52 plugin package. Didn't work either. :( [10:24] any1 have used "songbird"? it look like iTunes! [10:24] !forcequit [10:24] Factoid forcequit not found [10:24] mandeep: ah, so it's not a generic problem with apt-get, it's mstcorefonts installer taht's broken [10:24] oh right [10:24] where the heck is force quit? wine froze and i don't know how to close it [10:25] can i download the installer manually?

I tryied gnome and i saw i like ubuntu much better than kubuntu so i switched. Everything worked fine i used it for long hours. after i noticed 7.10 is avaliable. I installed it in 3 hours and from that everything keeps crashing... [12:24] jrib: when i'm trying to open phpinfo.php, he popup windows > save cancle [12:24] naxa: and you tried a new ueser right?

[12:25] scizzo: what is more my desktop doesn't render correctly... the menus leave their graphical junk on the screen... [12:25] naxa: sound like its a bit broken....I would actually suggest to make backup of everything you want to save and then reinstall 7.10 from CD [12:25] hi [12:25] hehe [12:25] After modifying my laptop-keyboard: it seems i broke the keyboard gnome-control-center. I cannot change any values anymore. I would like to fix this, any help? [12:25] gerro: exactly where? [12:25] daxroc: for some reason i845 doesnt like xserver-xgl that installs with Gutsy sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl then ctrl-alt-backspace solves all the scrolling problems [12:25] kazil, press Alt+F2 [12:25] I've got a problem with vpn tunnels... I changed the networking-mode to roaming, for to use the vpn option. I then created a vpn connection (with the right options, works with windows) and chose it. But I always get an error message (well, a little windows "VPN Connection failed") [12:25] bulmer: how would I tell which device/driver is related to which irq [12:25] and type restricted-manager [12:26] and press ENTER [12:26] scizzo: and sometimes when I go to the edge of the desktop with my mouse (in kdm), the screen appears on the other edge and many error pixels show up like rendering error in the top... [12:26] kazil: you can do sudo su in terminal then enter restricted-manager if you don't know where [12:26] it says nvidia not in use [12:26] kazil: check the box then restart [12:26] gerro-> i dont know, you have to go through it one by one?

[12:27] naxa: well....there might have been problems with the kubuntu -> ubuntu stuff also and then doing the upgrade....I am not sure what....but like I said I suggest you do a backup of the things you want to save and then make a new install from CD with 7.10 [12:27] scizzo: yeah maybe this is the best the problem is that i have already waited 3 hours for 900 megs and it is very slow to do a download a CD and a reinstall with backup... also i dont have space for backing up. but if I leave current stuff in place, the settings will be kept or not when i reinstall? [12:27] bulmer: if there are any errors would it be logged in those directories? [12:27] gerro-> or try /proc/interrupts [12:27] which kernel version i can down for pc pIII 500mhz? [12:28] bulmer: the specific error I am getting says serial too much work on irq [12:28] naxa: well I would actually suggest you put it on another media or something [12:28] scizzo: settings must be overwritten, if the new install keeps them, everything is useless [12:28] gerro-> i dont know, that seems too low of a level to be recorded [12:28] naxa: clear the disk completely and reinstll [12:28] Is there a way to find out my private gpg key?

[12:39] depending how it works, ill have to talk to a friend [12:40] i may be able to send you most of the install files [12:40] "The program 'firestarter' is currently not installed." That can't be the source of my problem then [12:40] and you can swap whatever file verifies the cd key [12:40] I heard people saying that Anthology uses a different method for compressing the files, which means that all the previous installers won't work [12:40] Vov4ik: yep [12:40] that way you can use them [12:40] hi could some 1 help me? i have accidently upgraded from dapper to gutsy by selecting the update button. and there was 4 broken files and now i have no gui two errors i get are LC_ALL=(unset) and xserver-xorg broken or not fully installed [12:40] jrib: cleared.. renamed file to php.php > unsuccessfull [12:40] Mastrrr, try mplayerplug-in [12:40] quite possibly so === magnet_ is now known as magnet [12:40] ok nareshow thnx [12:40] enyc, it will not more fast with kernel customized?

[12:50] buzzed, please hit the check button after a while you'll get the upgrade button [12:50] danesh: the runtime linker somehow loads the optimized one... i think that sort of cpu intensive stuff is more important than much of the kernel in many cases.. and I think the kernel now rpobably has multiple optimizations in it hence -generic [12:50] hipitihop ok let me try [12:50] piglit: thanks [12:50] !cn | lijian [12:51] lijian: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [12:51] bulmer: my wireless network adapter is connected to gateway A and my ethernet NIC is connected to gateway B [12:51] snake_-> have you googled for tutorial on wireless connectivity?

[13:13] Hey all,, just wondering,, what kind of quality is gutsy at this stage,, i'm on feisty and just considering my upgrade option,, i know its released now, but still, is it a case of i should hold on for a little longer, [13:13] i`ve got apache2 :) [13:14] NET||abuse: upgrade away, upgraded last week all good so far [13:14] NET||abuse, better to stay for awile [13:14] A sort of pro's/con's question i suppose is what i ask. [13:14] NET: just look at ubuntu forums for what is broken in gutsy [13:14] heh,, i figured the answer would be conflicted :) [13:15] hi, is there any alternative app to gnome-splashscreen-manager, because this one automatically closes everytime i try install a new login splash..? [13:15] qmax, that's a good idea to start with ye.. [13:15] iobelisk, gutsy or feisty? [13:15] Net||abuse, gutsy [13:17] Does anyone have any suggestions for USB wireless NIC's that are fairly simple to install? I have used NDISWRAP, but it seems to continually lock up my PC === Blackgoth is now known as blackgoth === blackgoth is now known as Blackgoth [13:17] yesterday I did sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, and obviously a bunch of applications got installed along with it, is there a simple way to uninstall everything that got installed at that moment? [13:18] anyone know much about webdav/caldav [13:19] is there a way to remove the nvidia module while running x.org? I could do this in feisty by stopping beryl, but this (i.e. stopping compiz first) doesn't work in gutsy [13:19] blizzkid: try sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop; sudo apt-get autoclean [13:20] How do i install Java, so i can run Java applets on websites? [13:20] Please, I write into terminal: "sudo obexfs -u l /mnt/9300" [13:20] and I get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" or nothing.. :-( [13:20] Gunirus, that doesn't help, as eg karm, does not depend on kubuntu-desktop [13:20] blizzkid, i think sudo aupt-get remove kubuntu-desktop is not going to remove everything, next time try sudo aptitude instead. this time you might have to remove a lot of stuff that you do not want manually [13:20] can i have a help for Nvidia Driver? [13:21] yes! php5 works too :) [13:21] iobelisk, I was affraid so. imho the ubuntu documentation fails in mentioning this [13:21] kazil, you seem easily pleased :) [13:21] heh..back to normal [13:22] blizzkid, actually if you browse around the forums a bit, this is mentioned in almost all threads that ask about installing kde alongside gnome for a look-see [13:22] blizzkid, but i agree, if it is not on the wiki, it should be. [13:22] anyone here happy with nvidia 8400 ? I got nvidia-glx enable to run great once (opengl windows, pong2, etc), but after a reboot it keeps asking me to reconfigure into failsafe mode. [13:22] How do i install the Java Runtime Enviroment? [13:22] netabuse, so? i`m just glad that it works :) [13:23] It keeps forgetting I have a ViewSonic P810 too. I'll try to hand-edit the xorg.conf today. [13:23] blizzkid, maybe you could go and edit the wiki to include it yourself? [13:23] for enable Nvidia driver i have removed xserver-glx....why? [13:23] Does anyone have any suggestions for compatible USB network cards; with easily installable drivers? [13:23] shredfive: im happy with the 8800gts640, not sure about the 8400's though [13:23] how do i turn off system bell in xchat? [13:23] hey net||abuse, you got anything for me regarding the login splashscreen manager, man? I'm using Gutsy. [13:23] iobelisk, I will certainly have a look at doing so [13:24] billenium --- sudo apt-get install or goto synaptec package mgr. [13:24] Whats the tar statement to unzip and untar a .bz2 file? [13:24] tar -jxf myfile.tar.bz2 [13:24] Whitor, tar -xjf [13:24] a .tar.bz2 .. [13:25] qmax: thank you [13:25] -j is for bz2 [13:25] encrypt3d, i just have to type sudo apt-get install and thats it? or do i have to type something else?/download something else [13:25] I installed compiz fusion and everything works except that I can't seem to change the shortcuts in compizconfig. Some shortcuts work, others don't (like super + tab, it just doesn't seem to see it, and when I do super + shift + < it sees it as super + > etc)... There doesn't really seem to be a logic into it :S... anyone some tips? [13:25] anyone here running gutsy i386 in a virtualbox? [13:25] billenium: apt-get install ia32-sun-java6-bin [13:25] ho w do you transfer files to mobile? [13:25] mkay [13:25] billenium you can first do: aptitude search java runtime --- find your package [13:26] billenium, next -- once you know the name type : sudo apt-get install package name [13:26] ok, does anybody know if gnome-splashscreen-manager works on gutsy? because it automatically closes for me everytime i try install a login splash. are there any substitutes could try? [13:26] how do i aptitude search java runtime? [13:26] ciao [13:26] apt-cache search jre [13:26] tchao [13:27] are apt and aptitude the same thing? [13:27] karel, for compizfusion do a "/join compiz-fusion" to get to the channel, they are very very helpful there [13:27] chi mi spiega come funziona? [13:27] is this also a helpdesk for Kubuntu users? [13:27] why doesn't tar -xjf *.bz2 work ? It says tar: foo0.6.0.tar.bz2: Not found in archive [13:27] yes [13:27] thanks iobelisk [13:28] whats the best quicktime plugin for firefox (gutsy 64 bit) [13:28] okay when i typed aptitude search java runtime i get a bunch of things [13:28] hi, can anyone help me with setting up RAID1 (software) with ubuntu 7.10? [13:28] when I tar -xjf filename.tar.bz2 it works fine [13:28] This perpetual "Software updates available" is getting old. [13:28] Whitor: because tar only takes one archive and then additional filenames are taken as files you want to extract from that archive. Use a for loop instead [13:29] billenium ---- this should work for you: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [13:29] jrib: thank you. [13:29] hi, I did do release-upgrade withe the update-manager and now my direct rendering is gone. I have X1900xtx, and I was using the latest fglrx driver by ati, 8.42.3 [13:29] I am gusty now [13:29] nyle: reinstall your driver? [13:29] is there a wiki or website somewhere that actually lists all commands for debian? i have seen the list at help.ubuntu.com and it is not very exhaustive. [13:30] blakeg: how do I remove it first [13:30] hi. just installed gutsy... it autodetected my xp partition and made grub so that it opens up the 'selectOSmenu' before booting. is there a way to do so i have to press esc before the menu opens? [13:30] jrib: I'm familiar with scripting... but not with bash. could you suggest a simple for loop for all files in a dir? [13:30] try this: for i in *.bz2; do tar -jxf $i; done [13:30] I want to remove all trace of fglrx from my system first [13:30] Is it possible to preorder the new ubuntu thats coming out in like 6 months or what ever? [13:30] jrib: nm jakamo Thank you [13:30] Whitor, for i in *; do echo $i; done [13:30] ok, does anybody know if gnome-splashscreen-manager works on gutsy? because it automatically closes for me everytime i try install a login splash. are there any substitutes could try? [13:30] jakamo: put variable in quotes or else filenames with spaces with give you crap [13:30] lol [13:30] nyle: remove it the same way you installed it [13:31] OSCAR_ACOSTA: ty too [13:31] Nyle, yup, you're right. [13:31] billenium, what do you mean 'preorder'? [13:31] ] [13:31] so i can get it when it comes out [13:31] lol [13:31] nyle: only giving the suggestions that i would research on the forums or the internet, i dont have an ATI card [13:32] any1 knows a good zend-like php development program? [13:32] billenium, ubuntu is free, you can get it when it comes out, don't worry. either keep up with upgrades/updates or if you are impatient and want to try beta versions when they come out, you can do that too. [13:32] kazil, Eclipse [13:32] I found the problem with centos wiping out ubuntu. the problem was only partly with grub; booting the livecd in order to run grub, root (hd0,0), setup (hd0) had no appreciable effect. I would up mounting the ubuntu partition from the livecd, editing the menu.lst file manually, copying relevent portions from the centos partition's grub.conf, booting into ubuntu from the hard drive and then running grub-install [13:32] thx [13:32] Okay, running NVIDIA-Linux-x86-64-100.14.19-pkg2.run totally fixes my X server - I get highres, and pong2 runs opengl fast. But the xorg.conf says "generic monitor", and says im running the motherboard nvidia 6100. (the monitor is plugged into the nvidia 8400) [13:33] when I reboot, i'm sure it will dump me into the failsafe lowres dialog. [13:33] shredfive: can you disable the onboard video in your bios? maybe that will fix the issue === jontec_ is now known as jontec [13:33] What was so scary was that the boot processs into the ubuntu partition sputtered a few ERRORS that had to do with the centos' partition (which had originally been a spare data partition) no longer having a UUID. I had to remove its mention in /etc/fstab. [13:34] sauvin, i had a similar problem with opensuse and ubuntu. i ended up having to reinstall ubuntu. for some reason even popping up the live cd, changing root and editing menu.lst did not work for me. i think for some reason the root UUID in menu.lst for ubuntu was all whacked. it was very weird. [13:34] I thought I'd toasted this poor lappie. [13:34] et [13:34] blakeg: ill look into that. thx. [13:34] hi. just installed gutsy... it autodetected my xp partition and made grub so that it opens up the 'selectOSmenu' before booting. is there a way to do so i have to press esc before the menu opens? [13:34] in ubuntu 7.10 64 bit i dont have sound while i watch youtube what plugin should i use? [13:34] bastian, why would you want that? [13:35] So /etc/X11/xorg.conf is pretty much the only config file that X uses wrt to graphics cards and monitors, right? [13:35] iobelisk, next time, have a look at your fstab and rummage about in /dev/disk. I think you'll find that when you install ubuntu and THEN install something else, the partition the something else goes onto no longer has a UUID. [13:35] shredfive: as far as i know, yes [13:35] It would have really irritated me if I'd had to reinstall ubuntu only later to find out all I'd have had to do is edit a simple text file of a puny three dozen lines. [13:36] hm [13:36] does a fle clientthat allows you to click and drag MULTIPLE FILES to create symbolic links exist?? [13:36] er file manager sorry [13:36] mmmh... I rarely use xp.. and some of my friends got this wierd idea that they have to select the xp partition, [13:36] VINCHENZO28: sounds like the whole silly 32bit flashplugin trouble [13:37] enyc: what should i use instead? [13:37] sauvin, yes, it did not, it had simply root=/dev/sda4 .. which was actually correct. but here was the problem, i could get opensuse loading up okay, i could not get ubuntu booting no matter how many times i messed around with the supergrub disk or whatever, it was the wierdest thing, iusually always have another OS on a spare partition to try stuff out, but after this last experiene i deleted the spare parition and merged it with my [13:37] home parition oops [13:37] under wine , does it matter if a program is installed to "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Programme" ? [13:37] VINCHENZO28: I dont know.. .but I got the idea the non-free flashplugin was 32bit only [13:37] VINCHENZO28, apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras should do the trick [13:37] VINCHENZO28: I dont use it... so dont onkw [13:37] in ubuntu 7.04 , I've intalled beryl, but has it doesn't work, how can I revert to the original desktop effects ? [13:37] http://phorolinux.com/five-tips-for-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html [13:37] I didn't mess around with supergrub. I edited grub conf files directly. [13:38] how can i write to / [13:38] hi [13:38] I mean, I have several livecds laying about; how badly COULD I burn mmyself? :D [13:38] Audacity periodically gives the error that it can't access the sound device. My wife, who is very much an average user, is trying to edit the intro out of some MP3 and Ogg files, can someone suggest a GTK/GTK2 application that will let her do that AND pipe to ESD? [13:38] im using ubuntu [13:38] atlfalcons866: why would you like to do so? [13:38] kdean06, I'll be the sound device is /dev/dsp [13:38] but where can i edit the grub-loader settings? [13:38] hi .. how do i check if compiz/beryl is installed and working on my gusty ?? [13:38] clausismus: /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:39] HaNNiBaL80: probably depends how it was added... note gutsy7.10 has compiz-fusion (newer than beryl) anyway [13:39] tuplanolla: my /home is full and i need to copy files there temporary [13:39] sauvin, yes that is what i did too, supergrub was not able to get opensuse into the boot menu for me, so i did that manually, but there was no way i could fix the ubuntu image address and root UUID because that should've been correct in menu.lst, yes? but for some reason i don't thinkn it was . everytime i loaded ubuntu up, i would get a blank screen with no HDD activity [13:39] clausismus, BE VERY CAREFUL in editing that file, and make SURE you have a good liveCD around. [13:39] k [13:39] I wonder what would happen if I removed UUID info from the menu.lst and the fstab files... [13:39] i found it thx [13:39] atlfalcons866: ok, sudo nautilus if you are using ubuntu. [13:39] enyc: I can't upgrade my distro right now [13:39] is there anyway to see a history of the commands input into a terminal w/o up arrowing through them all ? [13:40] ok [13:40] I found out the problem [13:40] clausismus: no matter [13:40] thanks [13:40] Is anyone here familiar with the boost libraries? [13:40] clausismus: what do you want to do [13:40] atlfalcons88: try using the /tmp folder for temporary stuff [13:40] sauvin, where would i get into the fstab files? [13:40] hi [13:40] fstab is in /etc I think [13:40] particularly... familiar enough to tell me if they include asio libs? [13:40] How do you setup the left windows key as "ctrl+alt" ? [13:40] iobelisk, this is another file you DO NOT want to fudge up. It's /etc/fstab [13:40] iobelisk: /etc/fstab [13:40] locate fstab to be sure [13:40] (So I can use pretty much the same shortcuts as in windows ) [13:40] blakeg: will files remain there on reboot [13:40] oops, too slow [13:40] i having 2 ubuntu kernels, but the first won't work [13:40] Please don't ask me how to configure "grub settings"; I was GUESSING. [13:41] what app should i install to detect my wifi network? i have a brande new dell latitude d420? [13:41] i want delete the first register [13:41] atlfalcons866: they normally do, unless you have it set to remove them on reboot.. mine stay there [13:41] and i didnt set anything [13:41] the upgrade to gusty destroyed DRI. I have to restart X with vesa, rmmod fglrx, remove old packages for 2.6.20, rebuild ati driver package for gusty, then use module assistant to auto install it and -force rebuilt, the enable it in restricted manager, and then modprobe it, and then load X with fglrx and now my compiz fusion works on agilx+fglrx [13:41] that kinda sucked [13:41] clausismus: ah ok. you want to remove the one. you can also go in edit mode while beeing in grub on startup [13:41] but it had to be done [13:41] ubuntu should boot normally [13:41] sauvin, I'm pretty sure it is also /dev/dsp... Is ESD an option or must I use something else? [13:41] The really cool thing was that I was able to splice centos' grub.conf onto the butt end of ubuntu's menu.lst... and the crazy thing WORKED. [13:42] edit mode? [13:42] i dont understand [13:42] I have windows fedora and ubuntu 7.10 installed on different partitions, how do i added ubtuntu to grub?? [13:42] kdean06, I've no idea. I just know that /dev/dsp is a curse sometimes. [13:42] im a newbie in linux [13:42] are there any fglrx-wizards around? I'm trying to get my X1650 to work, but all I get is a complete lockup [13:42] what app should i install to detect my wifi network? i have a brande new dell latitude d420? [13:42] niobos: envy works with it i believe [13:42] clausismus: yes if you start your system and get to the grub prompt where you get asked which kernel you want to boot [13:42] how does UUID work, is it autogenerated? i had printed and kept my ubuntu menu.lst with me incase something went wrong, this last time when ubuntu would simply not load up, i went into menu.lst and found the UUID was different, so changed it into the one i had in the print out, but did not work obviously. i even tried simply having root=/dev/sda2 but that did not work too, it was the weirdest problem ever [13:42] k [13:42] clausismus: there you can also choose the edit mode. [13:42] im trying it [13:42] BillyBeans: kubuntu, ubuntu or xubuntu? [13:42] blakeg: ok [13:42] clausismus: but its the better way === alchemist is now known as alch3mist [13:43] I have windows fedora and ubuntu 7.10 installed on different partitions, how do i add ubtuntu to grub?? [13:43] clausismus: doing it via /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:43] atlfalcons866: run a few tests if youre not sure, copy some erroneous data there and reboot === alch3mist is now known as flam3_alchemist [13:43] ubuntu? [13:43] atlfalcons866: if its there after reboot, then youre good [13:43] blakeg: ok [13:43] yeah [13:43] any idea how I would "slip in" an extra .deb or two into the /pool/main/* directorys? [13:43] is it safe to change the amount of fscks [13:43] atlfalcons866: how big is your /home? === flam3_alchemist is now known as fullmetal [13:43] hi, does someone know how to enable VIA 1106:5287 sata controller? [13:43] blakeg: I'll try that one === fullmetal is now known as halfmetal [13:44] blakeg-- ubuntu --brand new dell [13:44] I'm running ubuntu gutsy with a gl desktop using the nvidia binary drivers. It happens very often, that certain parts are "not visible" but they become visible when I eg. switch to another desktop then back. By not visible I mean for example: I enter a command in xterm (eg ls) and instead of text I just get black, when I switch & switch back I see the "real" white output. Or when I first log in I don't see the gnome-panels (but they're there) [13:44] blakeg:15GB [13:44] jamieee, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to relfect UBuntu, go to your ubuntu parition, have a look at its menu.lst and then go back to fedora and add ubuntu's setting to its menu.lst [13:44] Billybeans: ubuntu comes with a network manager as long as your wlan0 is in ifconfig, you should be good [13:44] blakeg: my harddisk is only 30GB =( [13:44] anyone know anything about xen on ubuntu? [13:44] okay i finished installing JRE now, do i have to restart for it to work? [13:44] jamieee is fedora your latest installation? [13:44] atlfalcons866: hmm, no way you can archive some of the stuff in your /home, like compressed archives? [13:44] a very good player --------songbird [13:45] billenium: no [13:45] this is strange, but I lost some icons on my desktop when I was doing an upgrade, is there a way to recover them? [13:45] ok, does anybody know if gnome-splashscreen-manager works on gutsy? because it automatically closes for me everytime i try install a login splash. are there any substitutes could try? [13:45] dipu, ubuntu is my latest [13:45] billenium: except 'java' may not be in your path. [13:45] Jamieee, then it should have automatically detected fedora and included it in the grub menu [13:45] =? [13:45] dipu, i installed windows then fedora and now ubuntu and i want to add it to grub [13:45] i'm currently installing RAID1 on 2 drives, but i'm not mirroring the / partition (only the /home one), if i do this and install xen, will the xen image be saved in /home (and thus mirrored) or somewhere else? [13:45] blakeg: i am going to copy some files to my 2GB flash drive then resize my / down to 8GB so i can have 21GB on my home =) [13:45] blakeg- when i type iwconfig, the device is listed as eth1 [13:45] shredfive: because it still isnt working [13:45] jamiee then they should be there [13:45] atlfalcons866: that works too :P [13:45] ok, does anybody know if gnome-splashscreen-manager works on gutsy? because it automatically closes for me everytime i try install a login splash. are there any substitutes could try? [13:46] hi... i remember virtual box support usb for free before right? [13:46] billenium: what does "java -version" say? [13:46] dipu, only fedora and widows are there [13:46] billybeans: so the network manager that comes with ubuntu should be able to config your card [13:46] jamieee check the menu.lst in your ubuntu partition [13:46] a very good player --------songbird it looks like iTunes http://www.songbirdnest.com/ [13:46] umm what do you mean? it doesnt say java version anywhere [13:46] while playing ogg/mp3 files in rhythembox or banshee (gstreamer) the music occasionally skips. anyone knows how to fix it?

[13:51] shredfive, that's only when it crashed the time before [13:51] i have a very weird problem (at least to mee) [13:51] Anyone here happen to have an 8800GTS and an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe mobo? [13:51] shredfive, yours must be crashing on exit everytime :P [13:51] the entry for ubuntu in your menu.lst must have the string ubuntu [13:51] I've been battling this issue for a while now, but in gutsy I am unable to get dual-monitors configured. Anyone got any other tips/solutions for this problem? [13:51] shredfive: i love it, simply because i dont have to remember where i was surfing when i leave [13:52] how can i view windows media videoclips on mozilla?

[13:52] BioGenx2b, why did you choose Dapper to just install?

[13:55] Mastrrr, same here [13:55] jamiee please tyr sudo fdisk -l [13:55] esnip, find out which repo it is stalling on and try pinging it or something [13:55] Mastrrr just because vlc works (it has its own codecs) that doesn't mean totem sucks, what did you try to play in totem? what troubleshooting steps did you take , etc [13:55] mozilla plugins..in synapt..they are all there...look for the mozilla/totem plugin. [13:56] sn0, every single video I play is skrunched up in the wrong aspect ratio.... every single one... [13:56] yeah it's probably a codec thing [13:56] never heard of canonical repos [13:56] sn0 i tried everything but only with vlc things are workin [13:56] sn0, in totem at least [13:56] dipu, /dev/sda3 1 3695 29680056 7 HPFS/NTFS [13:56] the m2n-sli deluxe... from the pictures, the top card would interfere only with the very top 2 sata cables.. the bottom card wouldnt interfere at all [13:56] jimmygoon: it pings ok [13:56] I have 4 choices for Java: GCJ, Java 6, Java 5 and GCJ+IcedTea. Which one should I choose? [13:56] jimmygoon do you have a bug/launchpad link?

In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.2.1-4ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 1 kB, installed size 48 kB === snowgirl is now known as sungirl [13:56] jamieee, that is not your ubuntu partition [13:56] robotbanana: you should be good, how many drives you want to load in there? [13:56] it's really weird [13:56] BioGenx2b, google it, I've got to go [13:57] blakeg: Alright. Hopefully it fits. Although the top card is the one you need, the bottom slot is only 8x. [13:57] i already re-installed 3 times [13:57] blakeg: 2 [13:57] is there an official latest kernel version for ubuntu ? [13:57] Hi, I have movies on DVDs and I want to get them to AVI format, is there a program I can use? [13:57] jamiee ,please check where the partition type is ext3 [13:57] switch the network card [13:57] and the same happens :\ [13:57] k [13:57] dipu, it is but its saying ntfs instead of ext3 [13:57] robotbanana: yeah, if you SLI 2 cards in there, both go to X8 [13:57] but its formatted as ext3 [13:57] robotbanana: do you have that board or looking to buy it? [13:57] or is the kervel version totaly independant of ubuntu version release ? [13:57] blakeg: Ah.... Anyway, doesn't matter. I'm too poor for 2 cards. ;) [13:58] blakeg: Have it. [13:58] so why cant i watch viedeoclips with totem?? [13:58] jamiee , where did you install ubuntu ?? [13:58] videoclips sorry [13:58] dipu, dev/sda3 [13:58] blakeg: I've already upgraded my CPU, now I'm looking to upgrade from my old 7600GT. [13:58] robotbanana: LOL, me too :( but im waiting for the new nvidias to come out [13:58] jamieee linux cannot installed on NTFS partition [13:58] robotbanana: so you already have the asus? [13:59] what error R U getting when U try to..masterr. [13:59] Yup. [13:59] scale of 1 to 10 .... can anyone give their opinion about how high the threat for virus t in linux ...? [13:59] dipu, its not ntfs though, when i installed it formatted it to ext3 [13:59] robotbanana: argh! i had a heck of a time with my c2d 6320 and the 570 chipset [13:59] jamieee, please check if there is any other entry for partition type as linux [13:59] is there an ubuntu nvidia/compiz/whatever channel? [13:59] is it possible to find out my whole computer specs with ubuntu (HDD size, RAM, gfx card, sound card, ect) [13:59] robotbanana: went to the 650i chipset and NO issues at all, especially with memory errors === Juha127_ is now known as Juha127 [14:00] if i install kubuntu-desktop on an ubuntu desktop then will it uninstall gnome? [14:00] blakeg: Yeah, I got this mobo shortly after AMD released the AM2 chipsets. [14:00] narada: no [14:00] dipu, in gparted it shows 2 ext3 and 1 NTFS [14:00] Radio_man on wwitw.com i cant watch any video clip :( [14:00] blakeg: The first thing I did was replace the RAM. I couldn't even install Windows. :( [14:00] I lost my ability to adjust brightness after the most recent round of updates. [14:00] robotbanana: ahh, well, id say make sure the bios is up to date and all [14:00] Anyone else have this problem? [14:01] blakeg: that's great; is there an easy way of how to switch between them like if i decide i want to switch back from kde to gnome? [14:01] robotbanana: but you prolly already did that :P [14:01] please see the ext3 other than fedora partition [14:01] jamiee ,please see the ext3 other than fedora partition [14:01] narada: at your login screen you can choose which one from the Sessions menu [14:01] hang on. [14:01] yyy [14:01] dipu, that is the /dev/sda3 [14:01] narada: either gnome or kde [14:01] dipu, the ubuntu one [14:01] blakeg: oh wow; that's quite cool actually; is that present on kdm or gdm? [14:01] blakeg: Yup yup, thanks. ;) The SATA port problem is my only real concern now. Like I said, the decision between having a hard drive and having a GTS is kind of important. :) [14:01] ttttttttt [14:02] narada: i dont know... gdm me thinks, but it should be the same on KDM also [14:02] dipu, it only has 3gb used space though :S is that large enough for ubuntu installation [14:02] blakeg: okay thanks [14:02] has anyone had any experience with the nero linux 3 burning software Im looking for opinions before I install [14:02] Leave [14:02] robotbanana: the card should have plenty of space as long as you are using the vertical sata ports and not the top horizontal ones [14:02] spideyman kd3 is better [14:02] is it safe to change fsck to every 14 days [14:03] My Xorg.0.log file says it is using /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe. Why would it be doing that? [14:03] what is the "file:" directory in my home?... it's new since Gutsy [14:03] shredfive: your xorg.conf is mussed up [14:03] master: mozilla-Mplayer 3.40...in synaptic pkg manager [14:03] blakeg: Yup, I use the first 2 vertical SATA ports, closest to the PCI slots. [14:03] I have kd3 but I need to make isos [14:03] I lost my ability to adjust brightness after the most recent round of updates. [14:04] how much swap do i need for a machine with 40GB HD and 4GB memory [14:04] spideyman well you caqn do that without a problem [14:04] devede keeps crapping out [14:04] robotbanana: yeah, your board is almost the same layout as mine, only my ports are down near the bottom [14:04] jamieee.. can you place the output of sudo fdisk -l in the http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [14:04] The Fn+(End or Home) combo that usually adjust brightness does nothing. [14:04] whats closer to photoshop? gimp or krita? [14:04] jamiee, and send me the url [14:04] blakeg: that's what the Xorg.0.log file is for though - telling me what's wrong. [14:04] dipu, okay 2 mins [14:04] blakeg: Yeah, I wasn't thinking of getting a gigantic card when I first bought this, so port locations weren't even a thought. Now I wish I had... [14:05] shredfive: so the log just says that its using the failsafe version, but it doesnt give any errors above that? [14:05] jamiee, are you able to login to windows [14:05] jamieee, are you able to login to windows [14:05] or... libdvdcss2..for most media players [14:05] robotbanana: yeah, i know what you mean :) it took me a LOT of looking to find a board that was laid out the best for my case, usage and upgradability [14:05] spideyman i burnt aleady iso files on cds with kd3 [14:05] dipu, http://pastebin.ca/752511 [14:06] hi, when I right click an image under nautilus I have multiple gimp entries in the menu but none work, if I launch gimp from the main menu it works [14:06] how much swap does ubuntu create by default [14:06] robotbanana: most of the time, the manufacturer has all that already done for you (expandability, layout, etc..) [14:06] how do I fix the nautilus right click menu? [14:06] blakeg: Just to confirm, it should be safe to switch the drives to a different port without Windows screaming at me, right? [14:06] blakeg: Just in case I need to. [14:07] jamieee.. please format /dev/sda3 as ext3 and install ubuntu on it [14:07] dipu, i've already done it :| [14:07] robotbanana: just make SURE you change the drive boot order.. when i change them around, it moves my boot order around in relation to my hard drive ports... like i start with 123, install OS and reboot then change to 321 port config, the bios thinks i want to boot off 3 instead of 1 now.. and it sucks! [14:07] jamieee... are you able to login to windows ??? [14:07] Master.. google libdvdcss for ubuntu..it will show you how. [14:07] blakeg: nope- no reason. There was a log file from last night that mentions "(++) Using config file: "/tmp/dcg-4234dg432/testserver.config"" . ++ means from cmdline [14:08] dipu, yeah [14:08] shredfive: pastebin your xorg.0.log for us to take a look at [14:08] blakeg: Awesome, that's easily fixable though. I don't have to reinstall, so that's a good thing. :) [14:08] moi [14:08] I'm running ubuntu gutsy with a gl desktop using the nvidia binary drivers. It happens very often, that certain parts are "not visible" but they become visible when I eg. switch to another desktop then back. By not visible I mean for example: I enter a command in xterm (eg ls) and instead of text I just get black, when I switch & switch back I see the "real" white output. Or when I first log in I don't see the gnome-panels (but they're there) [14:08] jamieee .. if you are sure you dont have any important data in /dev/sda3 .. please format it [14:09] robotbanana: yeah, they are good setups... i hated the early AMD64 asus boards, but my core2duo board r0x0rz! [14:09] It is as if certain parts aren't updated but they should be, is this a known issue maybe? [14:09] hmm okay [14:09] blakeg: I tried to set up fglrx with envy, same result: hard lockup once X starts [14:09] robotbanana: amd64 board being the socket 754s that first came out [14:09] jamieee and paste the output of sudo fdisk -l in pastebin [14:09] how can I have gnome and openbox running together - one on ctrl-alt-f7 and one on ctrl-alt-f6?

This is a windows xp question, the os crashes after the logo appears giving me a black screen. I read that one possible solution is using the xp cd to repair the flaw. How do i do that? [14:30] blakeg: also, recall that the xorg.log says it is using the xorg.conf.failsafe instead, so it may not even get here. [14:30] Alejandr0, did it happen after installing ubuntu ? [14:30] yes Openguru i can do that with vlc but however i must work with totem too otherwise why do they incorporate a player which doesnt work [14:30] Mastrrr, wait let me check once [14:30] BioGenx2b, install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and gstreamer0.10-ugly [14:30] ok [14:30] BioGenx2b, sorry, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly [14:30] hi everyone could anyone help me installing a printer [14:30] ?? [14:31] ok [14:31] where do I find this? [14:31] BioGenx2b, in synaptic [14:31] shredfive: the only real reason i would think it would use the .failsafe is if there was an issue with the .conf itself.. therefore, i think that if we figure out your .conf you should be good to go [14:31] kk [14:31] caronte23 whih printer [14:31] whih [14:31] doing a huge update (170 items) so I'l get to that :) [14:31] BioGenx2b, why not install 7.10?

[14:35] totem mozilla [14:35] excluding networjk upgrade [14:35] kaleh, i dont see why not, the packages are on the CD.. you can just point your sources.list to the cdrom and it should let you upgrade [14:35] caronte23 thats the problem buy a hp printer printers are not very expensive [14:35] kaleh, any CD [14:35] Alejandr0, put in the windows xp setup cd, the first screen will show you an option to repair, which you dont want to choose.

[14:37] leandro_, Check dreamhost. Most bloggers use it [14:37] StupidMop: the alternate is text (ncurses-)based [14:37] Crimsun: but how i can tell with out booting into it?

Is there any way to fix it? I know it has something to do with HD partitions [14:39] caronte23: email Canon and complain ( doesnt help much ) but I sent an email .

[14:40] synaptics [14:40] Vorian, try asking for help in #phpmyadmin or #ubuntu-server [14:41] oops [14:41] KurtKraut, ok.. [14:41] Vov4ik, try asking for help in #phpmyadmin or #ubuntu-server. [14:41] caronte23, ive had horrible experiences with canon printers [14:41] synaptic [14:41] caronte23, they are almost useless [14:41] i have a nintendo wifi usb connector, and am trying to get it to work with ubuntu, what do i do? [14:41] hi, when i boot my ubuntu server, i get a initramfs commandline? [14:41] hey, does anybody know if gnome-splashscreen-manager works in gutsy? because everytime i try install a login splash, the app just automatically closes instead of installing.. any ideas please? [14:41] blakeg: nvidia GeForce 8400 GS [14:41] Mastrrr, whats the problem now ? its not working ? [14:41] telexicon had the same problem with canon [14:41] shredfive: im checking the nvidia-linux forums.. im sure someone has some info there.. [14:42] but we also have a brother printer/scanner.. the driver is kind of funky to install but once its setup it works great [14:42] i can even scan over the network (its all in one) [14:42] iobelisk, u can use gconf-editor directly to change the splash screen ;) [14:42] blakeg: specifically, http://www.bfgtech.com/bfgr84512gse.aspx [14:42] Openuru mozilla still tries to play streams with totem :(( [14:42] ciao [14:42] openguru, oh really? cool! is this for boot splash or loginsplash? [14:42] Mastrrr, did you close and open it again? [14:42] The Java package hung on installation. [14:42] Openguru mozilla still tries to play streams with totem :(( [14:43] iobelisk, login splash [14:43] I have uninstalled acpi but my monitor still blanks when a program is running until I move the mouse, it doesn't blank if it is just idle only when a program is running like a movie or something else that doesn't require interaction. it blanks after about 10 minutes any ideas why? [14:43] How do I fix it? My Synaptic won't run anymore, and the message it gives me does nothing. [14:43] telexion no i bought a hp printer whih is working without a problem now [14:43] thank you very much openguru, i am trying it now! :-) [14:43] blakeg: again, the xserver does seem to run in highres/opengel immediately after running the NVIDIA.xxx.run scripts, up until a reboot. Maybe a kernel ldmod moddep (or whatever), thing. [14:43] hi, when i boot my ubuntu server, i get a initramfs commandline? what do i have to do to get a normal command line? [14:43] telexicon no i bought a hp printer whih is working without a problem now [14:43] Mastrrr, hmm.. just try this, install totem once again, the completely remove using synaptic [14:43] iobelisk, welcome [14:44] Mastrrr, yea ive heard HPs are great [14:44] ok Openguru [14:44] checking for XORG... configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server >= 1.0.99.901 xproto fontsproto randrproto renderproto videoproto xextproto xf86dgaproto) were not met: [14:44] No package 'videoproto' found [14:44] No package 'xextproto' found [14:44] No package 'xf86dgaproto' found [14:44] iobelisk, u want me to tell u can do this ? [14:44] Mastrrr, you know about tab complete for nicks? [14:44] Mastrrr, you can press tab while typing someones name and it will complete it :) [14:44] hi there. I just installed 64bit ubuntu gutsy and it only shows about 3.5gb of my 4gb ram. Is this a common problem? [14:44] usually, if you are using a client that supports it (like xchat) [14:44] telexicon: awesome, learned something new :D === zerotime_ is now known as zerotime [14:44] shredfive: beyond me, that is, hmmm... well, the newest drivers should work for you with no issues [14:45] jgf: recompile the kernel with the 64g instead of the 4g line [14:45] I get the above errors when trying to compile the trident xorg drivers, can anyone advise how to install these packages (apt-get doesn't work) [14:45] megsona, have you looked on getdeb.net? [14:45] shredfive: the issue seems to be that the GPU isnt officially supported by ANY of the nvidia drivers.. its not on the list [14:45] blakeg: you mean full 4gb ram is not supported by default? [14:45] I have uninstalled acpi but my monitor still blanks when a program is running until I move the mouse, it doesn't blank if it is just idle only when a program is running like a movie or something else that doesn't require interaction. it blanks after about 10 minutes any ideas why? [14:45] Can I diff the list of packages installed between two machines? [14:46] blakeg, but its 64bit [14:46] compiz-fusion is still infant, alt+shift+tab isn't implemented >_> [14:46] Im looking for an XFire alternative for Linux... any ideas? [14:46] jgf: i read a few forum posts on it.. [14:46] :( [14:46] telexicon: then shouldnt it be reading the full amount by default? [14:46] no telexicon, i'll check now [14:46] i'm sorry this newbie question but is it safe install software in /opt/ ?! like make one copy "sudo" /home/user/software/ to /opt/software/ or is bether i change the software owner when i put it in /opt/ [14:46] Im looking for an XFire alternative for Linux... any ideas? [14:46] salut [14:46] blakeg, yea it should.. i think the PAE stuff is for 32bit as a hack to get around the 4GB limit [14:47] dolphin_noel:, it ok i AFAIK [14:47] Im looking for an XFire alternative for Linux... any ideas? [14:47] ugh. what's this "md5sun /etc/X11/xorg.conf > /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum" business? maybe i need that too. [14:47] telexicon: OH YEAH, you are right about that [14:47] hum... is there a way to remove the auto correction stuff ? [14:47] bye! [14:47] Im looking for an XFire or all seeing eye alternative for Linux... any ideas? [14:47] shredfive: not sure, i havent seen that [14:47] jgf, you sure its 64bit? what does uname -m say? [14:47] openguru, i went to apps->gnome-session->options and see how i can change the path for a png or other pic file, but i was wondering how this would show an animated loading bar, for example, i downloaded the gnome-no-limits splash from gnome-look, inside the package it has three png files, the way i would figure is that the splash should load up all three files and then animate them into a loading sequence, how cld i do this thru [14:47] gnonf-editor? [14:48] nareshov: you can keybind alt-shift-tab manually if ya like [14:48] telexicon: taht was my next question, uname -a actually, but -m works too [14:48] iobelisk, wait [14:48] OpenGuru because i listen some persons that change the owner when install it there the software but what is probably important is the permitions :x [14:48] telexicon: uname -a says :Linux monster 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux [14:48] blakeg, well i dunno im kinda paranoid about putting hostnames on the net :) so i was trying to avoid it [14:48] I have uninstalled acpi but my monitor still blanks when a program is running until I move the mouse, it doesn't blank if it is just idle only when a program is running like a movie or something else that doesn't require interaction. it blanks after about 10 minutes any ideas why? [14:48] Utimer, how? I'm using the basic desktop effects [14:48] no luck on getdeb.net i'm afraid [14:48] openguru, okay [14:48] Did you install the ccpm package yet? [14:48] My uname -m says x86_64 [14:48] telexicon: yeah, i didnt even think about that [14:48] dolphin_noel: u can change owner using chown command [14:49] Im looking for an XFire or all seeing eye alternative for Linux... any ideas? [14:49] dolphin_noel: sudo chown -R root:root * [14:49] telexicon: how about virtgutsy.. that one works well :) [14:49] ah [14:49] dolphin_noel: , this will change everything in current and sub folder, so be careful [14:49] shredfive: when you tried envy, it did the same thing? [14:49] jgf, this is gutsy? [14:49] Im looking for an XFire or all seeing eye alternative for Linux... any ideas? [14:50] iobelisk, AFAIK there is no animated splash support :( [14:50] ccpm? isn't there in the repos [14:50] ccsm it is even -.- [14:50] OpenGuru so probably bether create one user acount that have no acess to the sytsem ... and change it to there [14:50] ccsm neither [14:50] Sup all [14:50] blakeg: havent tried envy yet. [14:51] dolphin_noel, tell me exactly what u want, i will provide the step by step instruction to u [14:51] Is compiz-fusion work on nvidia xinerama ? [14:51] shredfive: i might be at the end of helpfulness here in a second or two.. im not sure what else to try [14:51] Openguru still problems you think i should use realplayer ( plugin under Mozilla) [14:51] *does [14:51] in full its the compizconfig-settings-manager [14:51] jgf, what is displaying this? [14:51] telexicon: does something not look like gutsy there? [14:51] Im looking for an XFire or all seeing eye alternative for Linux... any ideas? [14:51] ya can just apt-get that iirc [14:51] Could anyone explain how I can play DVDs? I'm running Gutsy [14:51] ok [14:51] Mastrrr, may work, i am having segmentation fault here :( [14:51] it will show you the true power of compiz ;) [14:51] oh ok [14:51] openguru, i see, but i don't really mean extensive animation, all i mean is the loadup bar, yknow, like for example in sabayon i had installed the whole fingerprint one, where it had this nice loading sequence to reflect loginsession boot. just something simple like that, would appending one single png file actually show a loading progress bar? [14:51] saixn: add repositories from medibuntu.org [14:51] jgf, hardware information? [14:51] shredfive: give envy a try, make sure it downloads the 64bit nvidia drivers and then reboot and see if that works [14:51] can I have fglrx with Ubuntu 64 bits ? [14:52] saloxin: can u paste it here please ? [14:52] KurtKraut: Error: Could not parse XML returned by Ubuntu: not well-formed (invalid token): line 347, column 84 [14:52] I have xinerama ( drag between screens (glxgears) ) and I cant enable compiz fusion ?

[14:53] telexicon, any suggestion in how I can be sure ? [14:53] I have compisite enabled in the xorg config [14:53] Mastrrr, did u completely removet totem including config files ? [14:53] Mastrrr, u can try same with totem-mozilla [14:53] telexicon: it can be seen in top and free [14:53] KurtKraut, let me check [14:53] jgf, hmm, im not sure then [14:53] Mastrrr, removing with config file will remove all the config files created by that app [14:53] openguru, i see, i will simply put the png file path in gconf editor and log in again to see what it looks like, thank you very much for your help! :) [14:54] well Openguru i did but how many files i have to delete to completely remove totem? [14:54] iobelisk, best of luck, c ya [14:54] KurtKraut, yes its available [14:54] how can i kill a frozen wine app?

[14:55] Mastrrr, thats why completely remove is suggested. [14:55] how can i delete or find the config files Openguru? [14:55] how do I access my Samba shares with windows xp?

[14:58] jgf, what does this say: cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal [14:58] Mastrrr, just goto synaptic right click and select the last option, mark for complete removal [14:58] Openguru i deleteted most files including totem [14:59] telexicon: MemTotal: 3613448 kB [14:59] jgf, and you are sure you have 4GB? [14:59] how do i change the compiz fusion cube? (im inside the cube i wanna be outside of it) [14:59] jgf, is your video card reserving any?

[14:59] Openuru i think i succeded in deleting Totem but get the message in mozilla that there is no player to play streams [15:00] jgf, if it is integrated video it is probably reserving some memory [15:00] telexicon: that could be possible, but bois says something about 4-8mb shard ram [15:00] openguru, hi, is it possible to put more than one splash image for login in gconf-editor? what would the syntax be for defaulting more than one image? what i think is there must be a way to sequence multiple files that will load one after the other to show progress of loginboot..? [15:00] fairway: look at /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, and if there's no line "UserDir public_html", add it [15:00] jgf, hmm, so it shouldnt be taking that much [15:00] telexicon: he very well can have 4 gigs but ubuntu cant handle that much atm without tweaking (if you are concerned that its not showing 4 gigs [15:00] this isnt an offical ubuntu question but im looking for help with dnsmasq (installed via synaptic pkg mgr). /etc/dnsmasq.conf is set to read /etc/ethers logging is enabled and when i restart the server i see 1 address found in /etc/ethers however my dhcp client keeps getting given the first IP in the range.

[17:39] and Firewire, too [17:39] tone, it should do it on its own, as that is a setting in the bios i think [17:39] I tried to print an email from evolution, but the printer blinks, the cups applet says its finished, but it never prints. The print continues to say working. test pages work fine [17:39] tone, like speedstep [17:39] anyway to set up different configurations for multiple displays?

I just want expo. [18:05] deepak: what does lspci tell about the card? [18:05] onboard wifi should be fully compatible with ubuntu [18:06] CodenameKT: Yea. Expo works fine, but how do I get rid of all the other crap that comes with it? [18:06] NutsPT: open up synaptic and type in nvidia [18:06] deepak, are you around to get help, or just botting? [18:06] its just usb wifi cards that tend to be a problem [18:06] im a noob [18:06] NutsPT: nvidia for search [18:06] pommie you don't need to be root to do ALL things, but most of them, because its safer [18:06] just figured out terminal [18:06] MajorPayne: uncheck it? [18:06] kale, i have tried to help this person deepak, but they dont answer [18:06] Im serious man... [18:06] i just installed the nvidia-glx-new [18:06] deepak, ok [18:06] can i bypass terminal through root to run the apps through user?

[18:07] NutsPT: drivers programs software in general [18:07] deepak: what does lspci tell about the card? [18:07] CodenameKT: And the same if I deselect desktop wall, I can't change workspaces any more. [18:07] Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [18:07] why is it safer to run apps in terminal under root anyway? [18:07] deepak, as was asked, what does lspci tell you about your card? [18:07] The "Sensitivity" slider in Ubuntu's "Mouse Preferences" doesn't do anything here, is there another way to increase mouse sensitivity? [18:07] CodenameKT: now the problem is the display monitor [18:07] I want just Gnome defaults and expo if possible. [18:07] Im tellin u ppl... [18:07] MajorPayne: you hafta select another plugin that changes workspaces [18:07] I'm using an USB mouse (ms intellistuff) [18:07] Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01) [18:07] pommie, root is the equivalent of administrator [18:07] I have a tft Viewsonic 1280x1024 [18:08] it tells me that... [18:08] NutsPT: it is a problem? [18:08] deepak, so it sees it, what version of ubuntu are you running? [18:08] deepak: madwifi-ng [18:08] 7.10 [18:08] CodenameKT: Yes, but all of them that I can find has that supid sliding animation. And that still doesn't help me with the window decorations. [18:08] NutsPT: you need a better resolution? [18:08] anybody know a good temp monitor esp. for CPU? [18:08] deepak, do what kale tells ya, he knows it better than me obviously [18:08] yo [18:08] deepak read here http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=30053178 [18:08] MajorPayne: u never said you had problems with window decorations [18:08] I tried that... Im not able to install that... [18:09] how do I install themes in Emerald? [18:09] CodenameKT: I did about three times. [18:09] a lot to larn from it=) [18:09] *learn [18:09] I figured out how to import them but not to actually install them [18:09] deepak, why cant you install that? === dgjones_ is now known as dgjones [18:09] deepak: do you have a madwifi-ng package available [18:09] yes... im stuck with 800x600 [18:09] MajorPayne: so then why were you even bothering with the workspaces? [18:09] is it possible to install ubuntu from the livecd without a mouse? [18:09] CodenameKT: Basicly I am trying to get Gnome + Expo. Nothing eles. [18:09] can I use the generic lcd panel? [18:09] ya I do have... [18:09] NutsPT: you should install nvidia-settings [18:09] f00bar2k: yes [18:10] deepak: try installing that package [18:10] **Help to install automatix, please?** [18:10] f00bar2k using lots of tab + space / return key presses yep [18:10] It doesnt have any config files ... [18:10] CodenameKT: Because I want to get them to act as if I wasn't running Compiz Fusion. [18:10] MajorPayne: but you don't have window decorations either? [18:10] deepak: i don't care! [18:10] deepak, please, type a persons name and hit the tab key, that way it highlights their name when you speak to them [18:10] sn0: I'm trying that, no luck [18:10] If i try make it says error... not able to understand... [18:10] CodenameKT: I don't want to have window decrations, but if I deselect them I loose window borders. [18:10] MajorPayne: metacity --replace [18:10] deepak: sorry, you speak tongues [18:11] hey guys, im almost a complete noob at linux i just installed ubuntu 7.10 yesterday. i was wondering the easisest way to install programs was. [18:11] lol the Windows channel would be more hectic than this [18:11] maybe someone could give me a guide or just tell me the easiest way they do it [18:11] CodenameKT: What will that do? [18:11] anyone notice that Xorg is a cpu sucking POS after the latest feisty update? [18:11] apt-get or adept or your package manager [18:11] MajorPayne: wait you don't want the window decorations uhg but you want expo uhm [18:11] lilmike09: aptitude is easy, dselect is great [18:11] Sorry I didnt get u??? [18:11] f00bar2k tried enabling mouse keys ? Desktop->Preferences->Accessibility->Keyboard. [18:11] deepak You need madwifi drivers. [18:11] !madwifi [18:11] CodenameKT: Window decorations or anything else that came with Compiz Fusion. [18:11] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:11] actually, aptitude is not very fun to use [18:11] CodenameKT: whrere does that goes to? [18:11] lilmike09, for my money, the unofficial ubuntu guide is golden. [18:11] deepak, use that [18:11] MajorPayne: honestly i don't know how to use compiz without using emerald as i have never done that setup [18:12] I'm still have problems with gutsy [18:12] do you have to use terminal to install programs? or are they ways to install withought using terminal [18:12] Please tell me how to do that? [18:12] !madwifi [18:12] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:12] I need to upgrade to gutsy: KDE [18:12] i have a problem with my microphone, the sound recorder doesn't record anything. i searched for a while and seems a lot of people have problems with the volume of the mic. alsamixer seems the solution. i tried it but maybe i'm not configuring the things right, could someone help me? [18:12] deepak, there ya go [18:12] I usually spend about a minute after logging in setting up my 5 terminal windows. Is there some way to "save" the placement so they are launched the next time i log in? [18:12] sn0, i can't even get tab to highlight various icons/menus [18:12] deepak: do you know how to install a package? [18:12] Once i login everyhting freezes after 10 seconds and i have to reboot [18:12] CodenameKT: Humm. Ok. There should be a way to just use a part of Compiz Fusion. Or at least have plugins that act just like the Gnome Defaults. [18:12] Im really not sure ... [18:12] apt-get install packagname [18:12] the keyboard is working fine, I can ctrl+alt+backspace to kill X etc [18:12] f00bar2k try alt+f2 gnome-terminal, then launch the gnome keyboard app from there [18:12] NutsPT: you should be able to change the resolution with the nvidia settings now [18:12] tab key is your friend (completion) [18:13] deepak: have you ever installed a package? [18:13] any thoughts on the kernel? [18:13] 2.6.22-16? [18:13] but where? [18:13] anyone use the ubuntu gamer edition? [18:13] no [18:13] sn0: gnome doesnt seem to be recognising the keyboard input [18:13] Ya I have sudo apt-get install pakhage name [18:13] i mean... how do i get it? [18:13] shredfive, I use devilspie to automatically place windows where you want... [18:13] CodenameKT: where? [18:13] NutsPT: console nvidia-settings [18:13] deepak: ok, so whats keeping you from installing madwifi package? [18:13] Hi [18:13] yea? [18:13] NutsPT: I think there should be a menu entry too [18:14] there are no deb file... [18:14] I installed ubuntu server 7.10 earlier today [18:14] firefox started crashing last night & now whenever i try opening synaptic i get "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" & it crashes too [18:14] like under system settings [18:14] and it discovered my pcmcia wifi card [18:14] deepak: What's wrong with installing, then [18:14] deepak: apt-cache search madwifi [18:14] i hate the nvidia - ubuntu combination [18:14] but how do I get it to work ? [18:14] and what about wicd? is the gusty repository down? [18:14] I have the ndiswrapper drivers for it [18:14] still not working [18:14] i use xfce so it kinda hard for me to guide you the menus are different a little [18:14] but I cant' get ndiswrapper working either [18:14] i tried even envy [18:14] dang,, someone musta said something to me, and i've been at the cinema for the last 3 hours [18:14] I have ethernet...but not permenantly [18:14] I want to get my wifi working [18:14] doh :( [18:15] holy cow, how many wireless questions are asked on this board daily? [18:15] how should I go about doing this ? [18:15] !wireless | ekim|irc [18:15] ekim|irc: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:15] it gave me some options... [18:15] NET||abuse: "/lastlog NET||abuse" if your client supports it (xchat and irssi do) [18:15] Thanks === dgjones is now known as CheshireViking [18:15] i think when you boot into xchat, it should have a link straight to the wireless configuration pages for ubuntu [18:15] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-386 - Non-free Linux 2.6.22 modules on 386 [18:15] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-generic - Non-free Linux 2.6.22 modules on x86/x86_64 [18:15] hostapd - user space IEEE 802.11 AP and IEEE 802.1X/WPA/WPA2/EAP Authenticator [18:15] madwifi-tools - tools for the Multiband Atheros Driver for WiFi [18:15] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-rt - Non-free Linux 2.6.22 modules on Realtime kernel [18:15] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-xen - Non-free Linux 2.6.22 modules on Xen [18:15] xen-restricted-modules-2.6.17-6-generic-xen0 - Non-free Linux 2.6.17 modules on x86_64 generic-xen0 [18:15] deepak: yes, any package named madwifi? [18:15] deepak, stop [18:15] What is non-free Linux? [18:15] jelly-home, hah, that's a clever one,, but it doesn't seem to go back that far :( [18:15] also...you know the ubuntu login screen [18:16] where does that come from [18:16] CodenameKT: better res is 640x40... [18:16] is that from x , gnome , metacity , what ? [18:16] deepak, do not copy paste here man [18:16] use the pastebin [18:16] !pastebin [18:16] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [18:16] because since I installed ubuntu server I don't get that [18:16] depends on your monitor [18:16] NET||abuse: yeah, you'd need to increase the backscroll buffer quite a bit to handle this channel [18:16] how do I change the default text-based login prompt the the one that comes with ubuntu desktop [18:16] NET||abuse: like 20000 lines ;-) [18:16] ekim|irc, that should be gdm for ubuntu [18:16] NutsPT: alt-f2 and type in gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [18:16] ekim|irc, kde has a kdm variation, you also have xdm for non-gnome and non-kde [18:16] Can't wait til Linux won't need a terminal [18:17] deepak: well, pick a package [18:17] hi, whats the easiest way to make a channels.conf using dvb-s with ubuntu? [18:17] this is a scrolling hell :P [18:17] Ohh [18:17] I did one of them... [18:17] gdm [18:17] SudoKing: who wants linux without terminal [18:17] that is the name right ? [18:17] Package madwifi-ng-tools is not available, but is referred to by another package. [18:17] This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or [18:17] is only available from another source [18:17] However the following packages replace it: [18:17] madwifi-tools [18:17] E: Package madwifi-ng-tools has no installation candidate [18:17] it said the above error... [18:17] ekim|irc, yes, but that'd only install the display manager, not whole of gnome ;) [18:17] Well, not many people know how to use terminal, it would scare them to bits [18:17] deepak: then install madwifi-tools instead! [18:17] CodenameKT: ok now what? [18:17] Umm...sure ? [18:17] deepak, if you keep pasting on this channel, your gonna get booted.. [18:18] SudoKing: true for new users it is kinda scary [18:18] anyhow...it doesn't really matter === ReL1K__ is now known as ReL1K [18:18] ekim|irc, if you wish to add desktop to a server installation, you be better off installing gnome-desktop-environment [18:18] "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" anyone? [18:18] anyone else had troubles with gnome not accepting keyboard input on the install cd? [18:18] NutsPT: find where it tells you the modes "1024x768" ect [18:18] Ok im sorru crackhead... [18:18] Can all problems really be solved if you reinstall the operating system? [18:18] Sorry sir... [18:18] deepak, its ok, dont apologize to me, someone is gonna do it, not me [18:18] Does medibuntu work with gutsy? [18:18] i do [18:18] default screnn [18:19] haven't tried it [18:19] failsafe device [18:19] ok ok... [18:19] amadeux: the latest repo for gutsy does [18:19] deepak, i been booted for it, when i was a newb [18:19] do i add one mode? [18:19] anyhow [18:19] Kale... I think it got installed... How do I check if its installed??? [18:19] yes medibuntu works with gutsy [18:19] could someone shed a little more light on "apturl" for me? [18:19] could I run the default ubuntu install smoothly with those specs ? [18:19] SudoKing: from my experience, yes. gutsy solved all my problems and saved me money on my monthly bills [18:19] NutsPT: yeah for ur res [18:19] deepak: dpkg -l|grep madwifi [18:19] yea [18:19] has anyone try to use the new ATI driver? [18:20] it gave me this ===> ii madwifi-tools 1:0.9.3+dfsg-1 tools for the Multiband Atheros Driver for W [18:20] would like to know how it saved you money [18:20] NutsPT: don't add one just change it there [18:20] ok [18:20] so what do you guys thik ? [18:20] *think [18:20] ekim: about what? [18:20] Hmm...I might have lagged [18:20] SudoKing: kidding, but it took care of every big problem I've had with linux on this machine in the install. [18:20] NutsPT: normally i just put one and the one i use but my config is really wierd cause i have like a 36" hdtv as my second monitor [18:21] I have a laptop with a 700 mhz P III and 128 megs of ram [18:21] could that run the default ubuntu install smoothly ? [18:21] ekim: yes, it really could [18:21] really ? [18:21] what about berly [18:21] *beryl [18:21] yeah, you might wanna run it in safe graphics mode just to be sure [18:21] CodenameKT: but in monitor section or screen?? [18:21] i think 128 mb is a bit too low to run it smoothly [18:21] it would probably just crash [18:21] screen [18:21] lockup [18:21] what kind of graphics card do you have? [18:22] shitty? [18:22] what do you recomend as a lightweight window manager [18:22] me ? [18:22] yea, ekim [18:22] yeah [18:22] a 700 mhz laptop probably wont have a decent enough gfx card to run beryl ;) [18:22] Do I have to restart the machine like windows??? [18:22] no [18:22] it only has 8 megs of video ram [18:22] yeah probably not the graphics stuff, but you could still run the os itself [18:22] ekim|irc, probably blackbox, something like that [18:22] deepak: err... get a grip [18:22] CodenameKT: change de modeline too? [18:22] what do you recommend as a lightweight window manager [18:22] blackbox [18:22] I've been having trouble with the "no xv" video option, if I set it, my videos are no longer filtered, and look pixellated [18:22] ah, def not then, ekim [18:22] anything else [18:22] deepak:type reboot if you want to [18:22] but you could still load gutsy on there [18:22] fluxbox, xfce [18:23] NutsPT: what does the modeline say? [18:23] I loaded gutsy server [18:23] ekim|irc, yep, xfce is ok [18:23] reboot [18:23] Which is better? Gnome or KDE? [18:23] sorry that was a mistake... [18:23] nanonyme: i run xfce on one monitor and flux on the other i love it [18:23] /quit [18:23] i like gnome lately [18:23] how can i configure evolution so that the messages of different accounts don't get downloaded to the same inbox? [18:23] SudoKing, whatever you like to look at [18:23] kde is clunky and weird [18:23] gnome uses a lot of processing power [18:23] if you configure a tar file, how do you delete those configure files? [18:23] although people argue its more customizable [18:23] SudoKing: there is no 'better'. [18:23] CodenameKT, just decided to mention since i think there are ubuntu with those things pre-installed [18:23] a res like the one I had... the low one [18:23] this is before typing in make and make install [18:23] and some numbers [18:24] john: came clean [18:24] deepak type: iwconfig you should see a ath0 there [18:24] you have to see which one suits your taste [18:24] john make clean [18:24] i have ubuntu, i have installed konqueror, how can i make it the default file browser? [18:24] nanonyme: you try fluxbuntu yet? [18:24] I prefer GNOME, but it's pretty much personal taste [18:24] nopes [18:24] i prefer xfce [18:24] it became all weird... cant understand the image... [18:24] Toufas: yes you can [18:24] gnome is not a window manager [18:24] what i need to do [18:24] craig: just type in "make clean" ? [18:24] i've been having problems with the microphone.

[18:45] pga and make a fresh install [18:45] Pir8:open a terminal and say 'glxgears' (no quotes) and it will report the cards frame rate [18:45] Konam Nah, the DVD version would take 2+ hours. [18:45] aaah ok [18:45] ultimate edition [18:45] arnath, ah, I thought there must be some reason: I always find that the update disk, or even a fresh install can be easiest [18:45] hmm, the site is telling me to use gksu, but it's not installed (and i can't seem to apt-get it) [18:45] ckw 49835 frames in 5.0 seconds = 9966.998 FPS [18:45] hello, could someone help me with a microphone problem? i pasted the output of amixer here: http://pastebin.com/m64e4b799 [18:45] pga, get the gamers edition, or the ultimate edition gnarly gnome, its awesome [18:45] pga then why you don't download the .iso that fits you best?

[18:49] Konam I'll just wait for 8.04 .. [18:49] loony, the password used for sudo is not actually the admin password, you can set that with sudo passwd, as someone said [18:49] crackhead thanks!

[18:50] compiz is pretty nifty [18:50] I installed a new hard drive in my computer the other day and now I get prompted for my admin password every time I try and access a separate drive. Is there any way to turn this off and allow any user to access these drives?

Now that dual monitor are working for me, I will be in the same boat as you. And thanks to VirtualBox I can run XP for development etc use within ubuntu :) [18:53] ckw sweeet :) [18:53] sylverfox: there's a script that does it, but ive never used it, can't quite remember the name either [18:53] BioGenx2b, I'm not sure, but I think if you boot the disk there's an update option [18:53] envy [18:53] sylverfox: ah ye thats it [18:53] disc won't boot :( [18:53] sylverfox: that doesnt work either? [18:53] it keeps freezing every time [18:53] CodenameKT: are u there? [18:53] could not set it work [18:54] i need libpango-dev [18:54] I have 6.06 installed in my g3 [18:54] and could not install it [18:54] does anyone know how to add additional signs like ä,ü,ö,ß to the keyboard-layout?

[18:54] once Webpirat set it up to me [18:55] sylverfox: well beats me then :s i haven't had any problems regarding nvidia drivers [18:55] but since then i could not find anybody else, who could do the same [18:55] BioGenx2b, hmm, you might be better sticking with 6.06 for now, if the gutsy disk won't boot [18:55] Pir8:I will check it out...I know there are a number of ways to virtualize.. [18:55] Pir8: you have experience using virtualbox? if so, is it good? (comparable to xen/vmware?) [18:55] yelp depends on firefox.. that's so lame. [18:55] i have this problem with every nvidia driver [18:55] or kernel version [18:55] BioGenx2b, I think ppc support for 7.10 is unofficial anyway :/ [18:56] arnath, I've been using it for a few months now, both on linux and windows. Haven't had any problems to report. [18:56] pretty smooth to be honest. [18:56] arnath: do you use nvidia? [18:56] Hurm, I just upgraded to 7.10, but how do I enable Compiz? === b4d_ is now known as b4d [18:56] Pir8: it has a commandline interface as well? (and works great on gutsy?) [18:56] who knows how i dowload from bots with Xchat?

[18:57] nummer9, depending on what you're trying to do, it might be better to use the character palette [18:57] from where? [18:57] arnath I am not sure about command line interface, but yes I have been running it on feisty and gutsy and has worked well. Have had XPSP2 and Ubuntu running within it. [18:57] sylverfox: www.nvidia.com [18:57] Pir8: one last consideration: how light is it? cause it has to run on a _very_ old machine [18:58] I asked this last night, but: Does anyone know any solutions to getting flash to work with a 64-bit Feisty Fawn?

[19:28] darkdebian - if we had troubles with it we'd ask a specific question about our troubles. Do you have a specific trouble? [19:28] !ask [19:28] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [19:28] yes [19:28] MacDrunk: yes [19:28] yes mindrape [19:28] which version? [19:28] anyone here that knows how to make the picture on the screen ouput as noninterlaced or something? I think that's my problem. I notice it the most when I watch video and much happen at the same time, it's like the bottom and upper part of the screen isn't updating at the same time. [19:28] darkdebian - well ask a good well structured question and we will try to help. [19:28] Does anyone know how to properly configure game controllers in Linux? I have an 8 button controller getting detected as only 4 buttons...

[19:30] FluxD: so what did you think of it?? [19:30] midrape helpme, please [19:30] like a way to just say "hey i've got more than one listing for that" in a script, and just trim it down? [19:30] bluefox83, use the menu editor? [19:31] kkathman, that just seems a bit too much like work to me... === ss2_ is now known as ss2 [19:31] bluefox83, lol well its basically the way you do it :) [19:31] one entry at a time is too freakin slow when you have hundreds of entries >.> [19:31] MacDrunk: I dont think it has any "special" stuff compared to wine just a few tweaks here and there [19:31] aninhumer > nice, now I know more what the problem could possibly be =) [19:31] aninhumer > you know how to figure out what vsync ranges etc the screen has? [19:31] FluxD: so you say wine is better than croosover [19:31] darkdebian - you seem new here and I am trying to be patient so let me give you my perspective on your question... [19:32] ok [19:32] darkdebian - lets do a little analogy... your life is "linux" and your wife is "the network problem" [19:32] excuse me my bad english [19:32] hola? [19:32] You basically just told me that your wife said "I have a headache" [19:32] Unless you tell me the events leading up to her saying that it could be a NUMBER of things... [19:32] mmm [19:32] Hi, I'm dual-booting Windows XP and Gutsy 7.10, after my first time booting back into Windows, GRUB no longer loads on system start, just goes right into Windows... I'm currently running from my Ubuntu live CD... any suggestions? [19:32] MacDrunk: wine is excellent for being free and I dont see anything extra in croosover worth paying for [19:32] I might recommend you do anything from "give her a foot massage" to "file for divorce" to "quit pestering her" to whatever [19:33] Hi, I'm trying to recover some data [19:33] Meroigo__, I'm not sure, but perhaps if you run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" you can detect it in the vsnyc questions?

I'd like to access my laptop hard drive to get some files and then reinstall. I booted with a 6.06 live CD and want to see my hard drive. What do i need to do? [19:33] mindrape ;-) [19:33] hi everyone. I have a problem upgrading ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10, could anyone help me? [19:34] MacDrunk: http://winehq.org/site/download-deb [19:34] Meroigo__, I think it suggests ranges for different sizes of monitors too [19:34] bluefox83: you could probably delete your ./.config/menus in safe mode and regenerate it with update-menus. [19:34] songoku - details of the problem will be required. We are always willing to help... BE SPECIFIC. [19:34] how do i get every program installed on my computer? [19:34] r00723r0 - EVERY program from EVERY repository?

[19:35] i want to see every program installed on my computer [19:35] if anyone's used gentoo it would be like emerge --pretend --emptytree [19:35] r00723r0: okay, your question was ambiguous [19:35] aninhumer > I see. [19:35] how can i use gutsy to swap the left alt key with the left windows key? [19:35] r00723r0 - you want to see what you presently have installed or you want to install everything?

Now I can't log onto ubuntu anymore [19:37] mikegiar: how do you mean 'find' -- just see the partitioning or work with the data? [19:37] I just want to recover ubuntu [19:37] songoku: can you start recovery mode? [19:37] songoku - if there was a general power failure in the middle of the install your best bet is to just reinstall from scratch. [19:37] i have done this http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/materiel/ati_proprietaire and now my keyb is english instead of french and my display is very low [19:37] mindrape - how can I get information about the state of network, network manager, and dbus?? [19:37] work with, and move the data to an ext drive [19:37] mikegiar, it should mount automatically, and appear on the desktop [19:37] can you help me please [19:37] stupid question... but how do i check HD space? [19:37] darkdebian - what specific network information do you want? [19:37] is gtk+ installed as default? [19:37] darkdebian - packets sent/received? IP address? Subnet? [19:38] yeah, it's not showing up [19:38] Rouls: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' -- make sensible settings. If you're unsure, accept the default. [19:38] mikegiar: you are using the dapper live cd, right? if you downloaded a newer one, it should work automatically [19:38] CLAMSCASINO - df -h [19:38] mindrape - If the cable is plugged in [19:38] loony: gnome is based on gtk [19:38] ok ill test [19:38] jonas - i'm using 6.06 live cd [19:38] thanks mindrape [19:38] CLAMSCASINO - for a specific directory man du [19:38] hmm [19:38] soundray: I can start the recovery mode [19:38] i asked the wrong question [19:39] songoku: in recovery mode, run 'apt-get -f install'. That should complete the update. [19:39] how do i see everything i have installed that isn't a dependency? [19:39] mindrape - because only say "Manual configuration..." and not say Wired connection and my dial-up pppoe connections [19:39] Hi! How can I install the Screen and Graphics?? Updated from 7.04 to 7.10, but i don't have the Screens and Graphics util... [19:39] soundray: I'll try, thanks [19:39] ok... today im making real effort to get down with the terminal [19:39] mikegiar, I don't think dapper does it by default, if possible you should get a newer version [19:39] PoMMiE` - CLI > GUI. The sooner the world realizes that the better. ;P [19:40] im sorry i have no idea what your talking about...yet [19:40] mistone: hum.. k.. but I'm trying to install xfec, but I get a error saying that it cant find glib... but on the install page for xfec it says that I might have to tell the installer where its installed.. ?

[19:41] mikegiar: try typing sudo mount /dev/hda and press tab. does it add a number? [19:41] mindrape, as in not dependency [19:42] Troubled_Youth - read the link ubot3 posted. [19:42] Ah xP === b4d_ is now known as b4d [19:42] r00723r0: just thinking aloud here: you could do a 'dpkg --get-selections | cut -d " " -f 1 >installed-list' [19:42] mindrape - what can I do? [19:42] how csn i get firefox to connect to internet with ubuntu server 7.10 [19:42] thx [19:42] soundray: when I run that command, it said " dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg -- configure -a' to correct the problem" ???

[19:43] my fiance.. shes wanting to move over to ubuntu. but her onboard gfx on her laptop are intel chips. and her wireless networking is done through onboard wifi. what are the chances of her installing ubuntu with no problems as far as network is concerned?

[19:43] soundray, ahh, i was just responding to your current thoughts, sorry [19:43] hi [19:43] aninhumer, i'm trying to clean out my computer [19:43] which key is "left click" when using mousekeys?

[19:43] i need help [19:43] ircd, we need questions [19:44] PoMMiE` - everything should be great except the wireless... wireless has always been a trouble spot for me, especially with onboard wifi.

[19:44] r00723r0: then do a 'cat installed-list | xargs apt-cache depends >dependency-list' [19:44] does ubuntu autodetect those cards... well to the point it recognises them even if you have to activate them? [19:44] ircd, try ./configure and then make [19:44] ircd - cd /path/you/extracted/to ./makeconf or ./configure [19:45] i got major issues with it. my wireless is a usb based belkin G [19:45] soundray, nope [19:45] r00723r0, by removing unneeded apps? TBH, if you can't remember them they proly weren't big enough to be worth it, but anywho [19:45] PoMMiE` - yes... I have had no problem detecting them. Getting the right driver to work is another issue. [19:45] jonasj: when I typed "sudo mount /dev/sda" and pressed tab two times, nothing happened [19:45] r00723r0: then every line in installed-list that isn't in dependency-list is a package that isn't a dependency, i.e. a leaf in the dependency tree [19:45] aninhumer, i am a minimalist [19:45] it recognises it in the hardware section in system. but it dunt be workin [19:45] Anyone know how to get Caesar IV to work in wine on Ubuntu? [19:45] wow lol soundray [19:45] PoMMiE` - at the command line you can type lspci to see what it detected or dmesg to see a lot more info about what was discovered at boot in general. [19:45] wine is a pain in the bum [19:45] why was removed Beryl from Gutsy ?? [19:45] after messing around some with aticonfig and xorg.conf to get my tvout to work, my xserver won't work anymore when the Driver is set to "fglrx", i get all kind of weird colours.. can someone tell me how to fix this? I manually installed 8.40.x and they were working well... or how do I remove all manually installed drivers and go back to the proprietary ones from repositories?

[19:52] tds - you can enhance ubuntu with other triks [19:52] wdavis, could simply be that the receiver hasn,T accepted [19:53] not complaining. just a general query. why so ancient in design when it comes to compiling [19:53] I have a question about twinview, is it possible to have a fullscreen VIDEO on the secondary screen, as for now when i double click in VLC i get fullscreen on the main screen [19:53] I have autoaccept on [19:53] darkdebian, how? [19:53] tds - like noatime or data=writeback [19:53] Hi guys. Any idea why all of a sudden my NTFS hard drive has locked itself as owned by 'root' and won't let me chown it to my own username? [19:53] Every time I chown it to me, it changes back to root??? [19:53] im guessing at the fact linux itself is still developing so it pays to make it code based in operation [19:53] is there a special way I should install Ubuntu? [19:53] darkdebian, what's noatime? [19:53] robinsw - check your /etc/fstab ? [19:53] pays for testin i guess [19:53] Will do [19:53] What should I look for, Mindrape? [19:53] I have a question about twinview, is it possible to have a fullscreen VIDEO on the secondary screen, as for now when i double click in VLC i get fullscreen on the main screen [19:54] not sure how you are mounting it... tell me if you see it listed in there. [19:54] What is the default sound manager of Ubuntu? [19:54] !samba | robinsw [19:54] robinsw: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT [19:54] tds - say to your file system to no write time acces information when you read a file [19:54] Kenny3: what do you mean by addresses? what do you want to do - enable those repositories on your system, or something else? [19:54] robinsw - read that link from ubot3 about MountWindowsSharesPerm... [19:54] Pelo - as in, I am receiving the file, it shows up in file transfers just doesn't receive anything. I have tried this with two separate people [19:54] PoMMiE`, compiling is the original linux way, it allows you to install on any linux system regardless of config or architecture, it works [19:54] i was thinking of using a real-time kernel, will that mess up anything like gaming? [19:54] r00723r0: okay, here goes [19:54] I have a question about twinview, is it possible to have a fullscreen VIDEO on the secondary screen, as for now when i double click in VLC i get fullscreen on the main screen [19:54] Will do, thanks a lot [19:54] bullgard4: esd? [19:54] jonasj: yes enable [19:54] mindrape, there are no programs running at more than 6% cpu or 4% mem, the two most hungray programs appear to be xorg and compiz.real [19:54] tds - data=writeback enhance journal performace on reiserfs and ext3 [19:55] darkdebian, drawbacks of it? [19:55] Varka: I'll check that. [19:55] tds, just checking you know that real-time isn't about performance? [19:55] r00723r0: dpkg --get-selections | cut -f 1 >installed-list ; cat installed-list | xargs apt-cache depends | grep Depends | cut -d : -f 2 | sort >dependency-list ; cat installed-list dependency-list | sort | uniq -u [19:55] I have a question about twinview, is it possible to have a fullscreen VIDEO on the secondary screen, as for now when i double click in VLC i get fullscreen on the main screen [19:55] wdavis, make sure it just isn't getting saved in ~/.xchat or that you actualy have the bandwith to send, it might just be extremely slow [19:55] aninhumer, no, wasn't sure [19:55] ok.. not to be a funny bugger. but why didnt anybody just tell me to type 'man ' to get the help and direction rather then make me sprawl sites o.O..hmmm [19:55] soundray, wow [19:55] BigGaz67 - well you can also sudo apt-get install strace Then from a commandline type strace program-that-loads-forever. That will launch the program and give you debugging info about what its doing "Behind the scenes" [19:55] can some one help me im making a irc server and it says to type ./makeconf and it says its not a valid directory [19:55] wdavis, also #xchat might be a better place to ask [19:55] r00723r0: I'm sure there is a more elegant way to find the leaves of the dependency tree, but if someone here knew it, they would have said by now :) [19:55] someone should really fix up dpkg [19:55] darkdebian, so where can i find that information. i may do it [19:55] BigGaz67 - as an example if firefox takes a week to load strace firefox..... it will give you lots of info in the command line as you work within firefox. [19:55] mindrape... there's nothing in fstab for my external (USB) hard drives. Is this normal? [19:56] Im having problems with my ati 9000 mobility no direct rendering please help im getting mad here [19:56] thanks, Pelo [19:56] r00723r0: how do you mean "fix up"? [19:56] how to delete top pannel ? [19:56] robinsw - could very well be. ;) [19:56] I have a question about twinview, is it possible to have a fullscreen VIDEO on the secondary screen, as for now when i double click in VLC i get fullscreen on the main screen [19:56] tds - wait me a minute [19:56] so any guesses as to where the next steps for ubuntu are leading? [19:56] soundray, this should be built-in [19:56] ferronica, right click remove [19:56] bullgard4: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/ESD [19:56] ok mindrape will give that a go [19:56] robinsw - check mount output [19:56] bosse: i suppose you checked the forums? [19:56] r00723r0: maybe it is. Have you read the manpage? [19:56] eZtaR, I have tryed that no luck yet [19:56] fight seems to be for best operational environment. ie virtual desktops and effex [19:56] soundray, reading right now [19:56] Kenny3: open system->administration->software sources [19:56] i can't find the low-latency kernel in the repos and checked google. anyone know how to exactly install it? [19:56] mindrape: /dev/sdc1 on /media/WR_EXT_HD_2 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) [19:57] tds, real-time is to do with predictability I think, anyway different kernels don't make THAT much difference compared to other performance tweaks [19:57] PoMMiE` - I'm hoping to one day get a desktop environment like on the movie Minority Report... [19:57] r00723r0: are you trying to clone a system? Because there's a factoid... [19:57] !clone | r00723r0 [19:57] r00723r0: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [19:57] you could do that through compiz [19:57] soundray, no [19:57] jonasj: yes i am there, then i clicked to add, and it asks for ATP-line [19:57] tds - data=writeback can decrese the security of your journal [19:57] niina01, ask in #vlc there is probably an option you can use to fullscreen to screen 2 [19:57] wierd shlte i done with mine [19:57] funky lookin [19:57] aninhumer, i'm going to be hooking my guitar up to it also so i think i need it [19:57] jonasj: * APT [19:57] Pelo: delete option is dim [19:57] reflected cursor on background [19:57] tds - and noatime can turn crazy your mailer daemos [19:57] icons wobble when curser over them [19:57] bosse: someone had the problem with the 9200 se here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199034&page=2 [19:57] hello [19:58] all backgrounds semi transparant. slideshow wallpaper [19:58] bosse: and he seems to have fixed it [19:58] the lot [19:58] lol stop drinking and ubunuting :) [19:58] why doesnt azureus work in ubuntu? [19:58] PoMMiE` - I want to be able to wear a "power glove" and move things around in the air while playing some overly dramatic classical music though... [19:58] Mindrape, is there something I need to do to mount my USB hard drive properly? Mount gives: /dev/sdc1 on /media/WR_EXT_HD_2 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096) [19:58] with the gtegizmos too [19:58] it looks the biz [19:58] tds - but enhance all your performace and bootup speed [19:58] darkdebian, not worried about noatime since i use no mail servers [19:58] PoMMiE`, this is the support channel you might be interested in #ubuntu-offtopic [19:58] r00723r0: things like this are worth asking in #debian as well [19:58] its ubuntu [19:58] what you want [19:58] soundray, does debian use apt? [19:58] Lava: I've had that exact same problem, does yours quit to? [19:58] robinsw - umount it then remount it with parameters you want... man mount [19:58] Thanks Mindrape [19:58] yep [19:58] r00723r0: yes, ubuntu inherited it from there [19:58] the glove eh [19:58] ok [19:58] that never really took off did it [19:58] Kenny3: are you pressing the add button under the thirdparty tab? don't do that. look under the Ubuntu Software tab. [19:58] been around since the 80s [19:59] weird Lava, did anyone write about it in the forum [19:59] i remember the old movies [19:59] tds, as I said, real-time kernels don't make your system perform any better [19:59] tds - add noatime in your /etc/fstab [19:59] Pelo: delete option is dim [19:59] the new interface [19:59] rightio [19:59] 'file:///home/grijzemens/Desktop/LucindaNot a File0Williams-CarNot a File0WheelsNot a File0onNot a File0aNot a File0GravelNot a File0Road(Darkside_RG)Not a File0-%5Emininova.org%5E-.torrent' couldnt be opend [19:59] ferronica, right click on an emplty area of the pannel [19:59] Pelo: How do i join #vlc [19:59] that sux :( [19:59] ill try fit every single thought into one sentance [19:59] tds, you can install a kernel compiled for your processor [19:59] jus for you :D [19:59] Pelo: I did [19:59] niina01, type /join #vlc [19:59] jonasj: ah, ok, its already activated, thanks [19:59] Lava: mine just quit and said core dumped :P [19:59] Lava: what, you don't like Lucinda Williams? [19:59] Pelo: option is available but dim [19:59] Pelo: is it on irc.freenode.net? [19:59] ferronica, are you sure your user has permission to play with this stuff, check in menu > admin > users [20:00] hell yeah i like it [20:00] its great but i cant down [20:00] :( [20:00] aninhumer, apparently it is. it's generic which supposedly covers K7's [20:00] what? they've combined #ubuntu+1 to #ubuntu? Why? [20:00] Skiessi - we have all agreed to "live in the now"? [20:00] Skiessi: because the new development tree isn't open yet [20:00] Pelo: yes i am the user only [20:00] so, does anyone have a solution? [20:00] niina01, I expected there would be a vlc channel on this network, apparently there isn'T , check the vlc website for info on it [20:00] Pelo: how to check [20:00] Does anyone know how to install ubuntu 7.10 the encrypted way, but next to windows instead of erasing the entire disk? [20:00] o_o I'm using hardy repositories [20:01] Lava: I haven't been able to find one :( [20:01] tds, yeah I think there's also a linux-image-k7 or something like that [20:01] :s [20:01] Pelo: thanks [20:01] ferronica, that means nothing , look in menu > system > admin > users select your user and click edit or properties, see what is checked [20:01] mindrape, there bis a load of data here, but stace seems to hook up around these entries open("/usr/lib/firefox/init.d", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [20:01] open("/home/gaz/.mozilla/firefox/init.d", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [20:01] stat64("/usr/lib/firefox/init.d/S*", 0xbfc895cc) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [20:01] stat64("/home/gaz/.mozilla/firefox/init.d/S*", 0xbfc895cc) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [20:01] clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0xb7e626f8) = 7889 [20:01] wait4(-1, [20:01] aninhumer, thanks, i'll look for it [20:01] nez: use the alternate install cd [20:01] nez - first of all in Windows you probably have 1 massive partition. You need to non-destructively break off a few gigs for Linux (ie; Partition Magic and NOT fdisk) [20:01] !pastebin | BigGaz67 [20:01] BigGaz67: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [20:01] darkdebian, so noatime's ok to use on ntfs? [20:02] tds - no [20:02] !cryptfs [20:02] Factoid cryptfs not found [20:02] !encryption [20:02] Factoid encryption not found [20:02] tds - use only with linux fs [20:02] Is there a way to get all the desktops in gutsy/compiz have their own little icon space and background.. so I can have different icons/files etc on each desktop I mean [20:02] thx Pelo [20:02] azureus - solution - anyone? [20:02] darkdebian, oh, ok. thanks. i'll try it [20:02] i beleive that you could get a old glove interface and most likely convert any gampad software to it easy enough. cus the finger expressions would enitiate the keypresses. and the movement of the glove could be reinitiated as the quad directional/ organic pad. change cursor to animate personal gestures. alter size and push opengl into cursor territory. then work the rest around the interface. like calc for a start. would ta [20:02] ke a year a reckon for a beta [20:03] tds - this enhance the general performace [20:03] PoMMiE` - probably so... if you want to discuss further lets head over to #ubuntu-offtopic [20:03] you brought it up [20:03] tds - you can recompile your kernel if you need or like more performance [20:03] just feeding the thought [20:03] * PoMMiE` fiddles with terminal [20:03] I wasn't expecting it to take over this channel. ;) [20:03] darkdebian, please don't suggest that in this channel. [20:03] Pelo: all checked [20:03] darkdebian, it is not needed. [20:04] darkdebian, already tried and failed a while back. might do it again if i get time [20:04] darkdebian, it will create endless problems and can not be supported here. [20:04] tds, ^ [20:04] ferronica, that's all I have, the delete option should be available, I donT' know why it isn't [20:04] ferronica, try restarting x or the comp , see if that clears it up [20:04] Pelo: i am using kiba-dock is there an problem with it ? [20:04] If you want to learn about Linux then by all means recompile your kernel. If you want us to be able to help you then do NOT recompile. ;) Keep in mind a failed kernel compile means a non bootable system means you get to reinstall before we can reasonably help. [20:05] tds, your guitar recording should work okay without all these performance improvements anyway [20:05] PriceChild, what problems have people had trying this? [20:05] i want to remove the updates to 7.10 cose its all bugy on my laptop [20:05] how do I get kubuntu to mount a usb drive so I can access it without sudoing? [20:05] PriceChild - ok, sorry [20:05] ferronica, no idea, I 've never used it [20:05] ok so does ubuntu support usb 2.0? [20:05] tds - if you screw up a kernel your devices wont work, your system will segfault/core dump left and right, you wont boot, etc... [20:05] PoMMiE` - yes. [20:05] pommie`:> yes [20:05] trying to install ubuntu and it gives me an error at 96% complaining about bootloader, any suggestions anyone? [20:05] plug n play usb 2.0? sorry [20:06] mindrape, yes, i know. already happened. i thought he was speaking of not trying the noatime option in fstab [20:06] the problem is if you - tds - had a problem with my instructions, no all people can solve it [20:06] i shoujld have waited befor doing the updates now [20:06] PoMMiE`, you mean like usbdisks? of course [20:06] midrape - please, dont forgett my problem [20:06] If from host0 I 'ssh -X host1' then run firefox from host1, it comes up with host0's environment, not host1's. How to fix? [20:06] mindrape - please, dont forgett my problem [20:06] azureus - solution - anyone? [20:06] darkdebian - I never did understand your problem. ;) [20:06] darkdebian, that would be no problem if the kernel failed. boot login has 3 different kernel options [20:07] dcp-117c printer - brother. usb logitech communicate stx. though the cam works on preview only. i bought it for the web... not just for the cam part [20:07] in the future Xgl would replace the xorg (X11) server ? [20:07] tds - :-) [20:07] where can i get a list of installed packages so i can transfer that list for use on a new install? [20:07] heard something about a cups driver. but dont fully understand it. not sure if its a communication software for the printer before the driver or what. tried finding out too. no luck [20:08] eZtaR, http://azureus.sourceforge.net/howto_linux.php [20:08] tds - no the kernel, can fail the file system - fstab [20:08] !clone | mindframe [20:08] mindframe: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [20:08] About the encryption: Yes I used the alternate install cd but it if I'm correct (not sure if I am, I tried it a few days ago) it only allows you to encrypt if you erase the complete hd and let Ubuntu choose the size of all the partitions. Is there any way to keep my Windows Install or install it on some free space afterwards? [20:08] Lava: Shouldn't it do that upon apt-get install? [20:08] tds, tbh the improvements from compiling over using an optimised kernel, or even over the basic one are marginal [20:08] tds, anythign could happen... [20:08] tds, its the kernel.... it controls everything === ePierre is now known as ePierre_afk [20:08] midrape - Are you busy? [20:09] Somebody knows about a caller id app under ubuntu 7.10? thx [20:09] kind of funny how ID software can make games look better then the windows versions... and shows really how great games can be on linux. and how good opengl is over dx. yet. everything else other then the os itself is kinda bland. all that power and no drive [20:09] aninhumer, it's what i heard so it's never really been a priority. mine runs fine but was just considering the low-latency kernel for audio [20:09] darkdebian - finishing up lunch here and then going to the gym and then off to the store to get some stuff for the house. [20:09] midrape - Are you busy === ryugaka is now known as _skt [20:09] midrape - ups, ok [20:09] !repeat | darkdebian [20:09] darkdebian: 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 [20:09] <[manas]> how can i change on ubuntu , windows booting first???!!! [20:10] if I wish to make a desktop program which shall show some graphs (qt/gtk/whatever). is the solution then still to generate some images and show them, or is there an easier way? (the language is not so importent) [20:10] mindframe, if your intention was to conserve bandwidth, you simply need to backup and transfer the contents of the "/var/cache/apt/archives" folder which will hold all packages that were downloaded. It will not contain packages that were installed from the CD! [20:10] !grub | [manas] [20:10] [manas]: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [20:10] midrape - ok === BOZ1 is now known as BOZG [20:10] tds, I think audio should work fine anyway, wait until your sure you need the performance first :P [20:10] anyone know how to turn off join/leaves in xchat? it's really annoying in a busy chat like this [20:11] yeah. i like grub on ubuntu and sayoban. there not seperate boot systems. its all in one integrated bliss. tried slackware for almost half year to no end. if werent for ubuntu. i wouldnt have bothered. [20:11] midrape - thanks but not have yet for 7.10 [20:11] does somebody know about a caler id app under ubuntu 7.10? [20:11] dun skype do that? [20:11] zaboo - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=caller+id+linux&btnG=Google+Search [20:12] boogers need to work on the video. skype aint half as interesting without it [20:12] skype runs a caller id [20:12] hello [20:12] isn't ther some other simpler app [20:12] for caller id [20:13] i just donload the new wine [20:13] you can set contacts to numbers and numbers to pictures and ya know. be it landline or computer. skype the best i know nways [20:13] Hi. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 remotely over an SSH connection, rather than having physical access to the box ? [20:13] can some one tell me how to installed [20:13] i still reckon wine is a waste of time [20:13] thx pommiÉ [20:13] i just upack the file [20:13] only need it to install shockwave player/java or whatever it was on windows firefox [20:13] Tatser - its possible... you'll need to make sure you dont time out so I would probably use screen first so you can reconnect to it later if necessary. [20:13] and even that plays up [20:13] somebody have or know about network-manager problems - nm-applet in gnome only say "Manual configuration..." and no show the status of the network(cable plugged-in or not) and pppoe - dial connections??? [20:13] Attention Linux keyboard/USB masters: there's a USB keyboard that uses (TM) in its name, and so Linux doesn't like it: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/keyboards/keyboard/devices/3616 - any ideas? Thanks in advance! [20:13] Tatster: apt-get will upgrade for you I think.. all console [20:14] Tatser - during the upgrade you may need to interact and provide responses so if you time out it will just hang... [20:14] mindrape: doesn't apt-get fall back to some kind of ncurses dialog system if you for example shut down gdm before you run the upgrade? [20:14] darkdebian, check System -> Administration -> Network - do your devices appear? Are they _disabled_? (This is important - nm will NOT manage any device configured elsewhere!) [20:15] The box I'm hoping to upgrade is on the same LAN as I am now - it's just that box is my loft!!! [20:15] so nways.. asl peeps. wanna know how aged the linux ubuntu community i in [20:15] hello, can anyone help me with compiz & window decorators a bit? [20:15] check out that grammer. give me a star [20:15] hi SliMM [20:15] Tatster: why not run vlc or something else quick and dirty to set up? [20:15] what seems to be the problem ? [20:15] eZtaR, http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com:80 [20:15] Tatster: sorry.. vnc === doubled is now known as DoubleD [20:15] <- 27.male.uk [20:15] javajake - all its ok, and /etc/netwok/interfaces are ok too [20:15] Say you have 2 harddrives, how should one partition them and into how many partitions should one make them for a fresh OS install according to you? [20:15] darkdebian, OK, how about ifconfig and iwconfig? [20:15] hi guys can any one tell me if it is possible to install g tok or yahoo m on ubuntu [20:16] PoMMiE`, :and we care why im 12 [20:16] DoubleD: well, how can i use metacity instead of emerald? [20:16] Slart: That's a good shout. Up till now I've just had Webmin on there [20:16] javajake - no problems, the interface is up [20:16] i dont know either of those :o [20:16] are those themes ? [20:16] oh peeps. you know kopete. is it best to use msn or yahoo or what if your doing webcaming...??? [20:16] darkdebian, ah, OK, and nm shows a "no connection" icon? [20:16] anyone [20:16] PoMMiE`, I'm 16 but I'm not telling you where I live :P [20:16] hi guys can any one tell me if it is possible to install g tok or yahoo m on ubuntu [20:16] cus that main reason i left my laptop with windows [20:16] pmsl.. stfu [20:16] shlt [20:16] how to install from a tar file [20:16] anybody here older then 20 [20:17] feeling older then time here [20:17] DoubleD: those are window decorators. i think emerald is comiz's gnome decorator and metacity is the native window decorator [20:17] Tatster: I think there's a package that just shares your current desktop using vnc.. nothing to setup apart from perhaps a password.. xvncclient or something like that [20:17] 25 :) [20:17] fear me [20:17] k lava [20:17] Anyone? How do you guys partion your drives when you do a fresh install?

[20:18] anyone using xchat and bugged by the joining/leaving messages? [20:18] darkdebian, the next step would be to figure out what driver your wired card is using, if there are any problems, and if you can't figure anything out, contact the NetworkManager mailing list. [20:19] X-chat rules [20:19] yep [20:19] Elfboy, +1 [20:19] DoubleD: well, i want to use metacity for theming AND window decorations, because i belive it uses less resources [20:19] u can change them too [20:19] im starting to think my sexlife is gunna take a hit from sitting here and spending all this extra time TYPING BLOOMIN COMMANDS INTO TERMINAL [20:19] compiz rules [20:19] Iradigalesc: or rather.. it's very easy to setup a terminal based command.. if you want to run say.. openoffice or something graphical it's much harder [20:19] javaJake, ?????

[20:20] beryl had a nice settings manager that let me switch between window managers and/or decorators [20:21] see lava... i bypassed all that through wine [20:21] Varka: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/ESD shows a 'Server Error'.

[20:22] sudo apt-get install java-common would be a start... [20:22] aninhumer: and I would have had to choose that option when booting right? [20:22] cute donkey though [20:22] PoMMiE`: eh.. bittorrents are used for tHe WareZ and still the protocol is perfectly legal [20:22] filesharing is not inherently illegal. [20:22] what are these warez [20:23] Hey all! I'm trying to enable XDMCP from the command line (setting up vnc server via shh) but /etc/gdm.conf is empty :( [20:23] mikegiar, ayup, it might not be available on regular ubuntu disks either, but I've seen it before [20:23] PoMMiE` - time for you to head over to #ubuntu-offtopic [20:23] thanks mindrape [20:23] !seen bruenig [20:23] is the forcedeth driver supposed to work on all nvidia nics ?

I don't think it's included in the default isntall.. or it wasn't when I installed [20:24] PoMMiE` - Linux also comes with gimp, a web browser, and video software. IM NOT ASKING ABOUT PORN IN HERE THOUGH. [20:24] PoMMiE`, emule is available in repos, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't come with ubuntu [20:24] hi guys can any one tell me if it is possible to install g tok or yahoo m on ubuntu [20:24] anyone who knows how to enable XDMCP via command line?

[20:51] heh virgin.everything sucks [20:52] i wanted to get my font rendering back to the way it was handled in feisty. so i edited my .fonts.conf file to set lcdfilter to "legacy" on all fonts. This seemed to register in non-gnome applications like firefox/thunderbird, but gnome apps like gnome-panel are holding onto the "default gusty" rendering settings and ignoring my "legacy" setting in .fonts.conf. Any idea why? [20:52] hello. I have downloaded and installed openssh-4.7p1 but I don't know how to start the sshd. Typing ssh localhost doesn't work. There is no ssh script in /etc/init.d . Any help? [20:52] Sounds crazy re-installing, But re-installing ubuntu fixed my networking problems, wierd, eh? [20:52] <[manas]> Slart: it told me fron sistem or something [20:52] nick_: why not apt-get install openssh-server like everyone else? :) [20:52] indeed, 8mb my bottom, but anyway this is getting off topic [20:52] Stolencheese: no, I know that it can fix up a lot of problems (i've done it on a friend's computer), but that would be a last resort situation [20:52] <[manas]> Slart: i fink it shuold be 6 [20:53] [manas]: hmm.. well.. go ahead.. try 6 instead [20:53] virtuoussin13: Last resort is just after coming to IRC so.. Heh.. [20:53] [manas]: write the error down if you get one.. so we can use google etc [20:53] fujin_ because I have problems with md5 passwords and I want to enable md5 passwords during building [20:54] Stolencheese: no kidding, I've looked through google and haven't found anything else [20:54] <[manas]> Slart: ok [20:54] Hello all! Does anyone know how to enable spdif on gutsy? [20:54] spdif? [20:54] Using MD5 isn't too smart, but I guess it's smarter than crypt() [20:54] <[manas]> Slart: i will try know 6 [20:54] still, why change the sshd version? [20:54] it's probably pam you want to change [20:55] I suppose I could boot to the live cd and apt-get libc6 and then test out a random package that's been complaining, anyone see something wrong with that idea? [20:55] Hi there [20:55] It is possible to install ubuntu 7.04 and update to 7.10? [20:55] yep [20:55] xoanan: its easy? [20:55] well I really don't know what to do. I apt-got openssh-server from the ubuntu repos but a friend of mine can't login to my server. His credentials are correct but the server doesn't allow him in [20:55] Johnyy: yes after you install 7.04, open up the update manager and click on [20:55] But why do that? [20:55] I did it [20:56] hello, I have upgrading via update-manager but because of some conflicts it stopped. now I have sucessfully removed the bad package (tetex-live). how can I restart the upgrade process? there are about 30 % packages to upgrade.... [20:56] how could I solve this? I figured md5. Any suggestions? [20:56] thanks virtuoussin13 [20:56] Johnyy: click on the "upgrade" button next to "a new distro is available" [20:56] Johnny the only issue I had with updating was that in the middle of it, the power went out in our neighborhood [20:57] xoanan: i'd say thats a big *only* issue.. :) [20:57] UPSs ftw :P [20:57] running update-manager again didnt help, he tells me my system is up-to-date [20:57] I just wish I had one :/ [20:57] So I going to install it. Bye bye :) [20:58] i wanted to get my font rendering back to the way it was handled in feisty. so i edited my .fonts.conf file to set lcdfilter to "legacy" on all fonts. This seemed to register in non-gnome applications like firefox/thunderbird, but gnome apps like gnome-panel are holding onto the "default gusty" rendering settings and ignoring my "legacy" setting in .fonts.conf. Any idea why? [20:58] in the event I do a reinstall, are there configuration files hiding somewhere not in my home folder that I should particularly worried about? [20:58] hi there. How can I restore, to their previous location, a bunch of files that I inadvertently moved to trash?? [20:59] gumbers: Copy them back. [20:59] cccc [20:59] naelyn, have you restarted? they could be running with their old settings until you do [20:59] Odd-rationale, but is there a way to have them on their previous location automatically? [20:59] naelyn, I know lots of apps do that, so I guess the panel does too [20:59] naelyn: or just try restarting X (ctrl alt backspace) [20:59] aninhumer, i have logged out and logged back in again. i have also tried ctrl-alt-bkspcing at the gdm prompt to even kill x [21:00] because I wanted to delete the library from rhythmbox, but not the files [21:00] and I "moved to trash" all the files [21:00] <[manas]> Slart: its working [21:00] could someone help me isntall compiz extra packages? [21:00] Hi Everyone. I got problem with sound recoder, i get "Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings" error. Tried to google but can't find proper solution. Any suggestions? [21:00] naelyn, I can't really help then, you probably know more about the fonts than I do :P [21:00] alright, I'll try to do this boot thing later, I'll be back if it doesn't work out, good bye [21:00] now, I had them all organized, each in its folder [21:00] how to monitor which programs are using network, and how much bandwidth do they take ?

[21:08] aninhumer: yes no result. what's your settings? [21:08] Slart: it's for amd, for intel it would be 45 C [21:08] Stolencheese: I have heard a lot about time machine too.

I can ping yahoo.com, youtube.com, digg.com, but for some reason google (including gmail.com, google.org, feedburner.com) will not resolve [21:09] PirateHead: Except EFI support is still a bit crappy [21:09] somehow mines changed and wont let me open Synaptic [21:09] Bonster, ah, I think you were talking to adjioev, he's asking about skype [21:09] hi, I'm having problems with ubuntu 7.10 freezing and believe it's my video card Matrox Graphics, Inc. Millennium G400 32Mb SDRAM . Ubuntu 7.04 worked great without and freezing but after I did a new install of ubuntu 7.10 I get random freezing that requires a power down. Any ideas on how to fix the freezing up on Ubuntu 7.10 help please. [21:09] Laptop has no sound since Gutsy upgrade, guys. Can anybody help me fix it? [21:09] Slart: but for example xchat-gnome _always_ crashes and pidgin seems to crash much more than firefox... 20 to 1 [21:09] naxa: hmm.. very strange.. so.. it isn't memory.. it isn't overheating.. disc failing slowly? [21:09] aninhumer: have you tried skype? and sound recorder?

[21:10] any reason why my Audigy doesn't work since the last release of Ubuntu? [21:10] it's all a conspiracy to make me start using nano [21:10] naxa: maybe you're suffering from the bug that makes Ubuntu kill hard drives. Tons of people have been affected. [21:10] hey folks [21:10] why does firefox slow down the desktop with compiz fusion [21:11] PirateHead: is that true?! uh.. .what is it? [21:11] naxa: On many people's machines, Ubuntu makes the hard drive go through a load/unload operation a minute, or more, which wears the hard drive down really fast. [21:11] naxa: I'm out of solutions then.. if there are no errors logged and no pattern in what software crashes it might as well be aliens... [21:11] no one in here has had a problem getting frostwire to work? [21:11] adjioev, like Bonster said, you could try gizmo, but I can't really help with sound card issues :/ [21:11] what is frostwire? :-) markgreene [21:11] aolaus: I get some error in the terminal when using gksu gedit but it still works.. what file are you trying to edit? [21:11] adjioev, although if you actually get sound on a test, it could just be feedback? [21:11] Slart: I thought it's maybe my savage4 video card somehow... i changed the driver to vesa and all went blank... linux simply died. what could this be? [21:11] anyone have any ideas on how to get the sound going? sound card is a creative soundblaster audigy 2 ZS [21:11] frostwire is a gnutella client [21:11] naxa: you can install smartmontools and see how many loads/unloads your hard drive has gone through versus how many hours your computer has been use to determine whether you're being affected by the hard drive bug.

[22:24] ctrl + alt + backspace isn't doing anything [22:24] matt86: make sure you're using the left alt [22:24] broken: /boot/config-$(uname -r) [22:24] I am [22:25] matt86: reboot then [22:25] matt86, ctrl+alt+backspace will restart x only if you are already in X [22:25] astro76: u sure? tought it could restart even while in shell (f1) [22:25] Why is there so much tearing in compiz fusion with wobbly windows on gutsy? there was no tearing on feisty [22:25] flannel: suggestions??? [22:25] broken: or do you mean boot options? [22:25] matt86, from console: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [22:25] heatman, pretty sure [22:25] my compiz fusion settings has me inside my cube how do i change it to look from the outside? (7.10) [22:26] heatman: sure, but itll start in f7 [22:26] astro76: ok my bad :S [22:26] What's the 'feel' of a OS mean [22:26] lynus: no, sorry, I'm no dhcp expert [22:26] amadeux: tearing? make sure vsync is enabled. [22:26] matt86: after you do that, ctrl-alt-f7 [22:26] flannel: so where can I find a dhcp expert??? [22:26] Can anybody give me a quick rundown of how to replace an xorg.conf file by only using the recovery mode?

[22:27] I got a new dell xps410 with ubuntu, and as a separate purchase, a dell 2407WFP-HC monitor... this monitor is capable of 1920x????, but currently it's max according to Sytem Prefs is 1024x768... how can I get options for greater res? any ideas? [22:27] Cpudan80: sudo shutdown -r now [22:27] Flannel: thanks [22:27] NcA, copy replacement over /etc/X11/xorg.conf, that's it really [22:27] Thanks guys. Now, Round 2: How do I make Ubuntu recognize my sound card so it doesn't deafen me at max volume every time I start it up? [22:27] <- I'm a novice tbh [22:27] Let me go check if that's still an issue. [22:28] NcA: to access a USB storage device in recovery mode, you'll have to mount it. Do you know how? [22:28] and It's only using the command line as I have no xorg to run it [22:28] salve [22:28] soundray : nope [22:28] NcA: are you in recovery mode now? [22:28] hey people [22:29] is it possible to install nopaste? [22:29] hello [22:29] I have several HD mp4 movies [22:29] Well... [22:29] 640K ought to be enough for anybody. [22:29] It tells me that package is not found. [22:29] bonne nuit [22:29] O omstalled all plugins and also mplay [22:29] but still no go [22:29] when i start pc or reboot i must always install nvidia driver on 64bit gusty [22:29] brb [22:29] shimizu, anyone? this is my first attempt at linux os I am following a guide from a magazine and it says to install ubuntu, I have amd64 x2, so installed the 64bit ubuntu and when I try to open the deb file for linux mce it says wrong architecture, I need 64 bit deb file is there one yet? [22:29] bonne nuit/good night [22:29] yeah [22:29] is there any 64bit linux backup applications that will allow me to backup to usb external hdd? [22:29] anyone can read this? [22:30] Anyone know which codec I need to play HD mp4 movies? [22:30] dekela, try vlc [22:30] Oguh well, thanks for the time, even though it did not help at all :-( apparently I am going back to windows as this is too diffacult, but hey I tried [22:30] Ok [22:30] sorry, I'm just making sure I have the file ready on the USB Key soundray [22:30] Okay [22:30] Is it only my file search that's broken? I get "The folder contents could not be displayed.Invalid service Files or service has not been implemented yet" [22:31] Is there a nopaste package for ubuntu? [22:31] broken, yes [22:31] broken: pastebinit [22:31] that's it ;) [22:31] So, next issue I'm having is that the keyboard button audio controls don't seem to have any effect on the volume. The bar pops up on the screen, but it doesn't do anything [22:31] Fossil: sbackup [22:31] Pici: and do i use it just like nopaste? [22:31] NcA: okay. When you've plugged it in, do a 'dmesg | tail' to find out its device name (probably /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc or similar) [22:31] void^, enabling vsync makes responsivity suck, when moving windows around etc. [22:32] Having uncontrollable audio coming out of my speakers will get me arrested, so... any ideas? [22:32] broken: I dont know how the nopaste program works. I just pipe stuff into pastebinit and it gives me a url [22:32] amadeux: make sure refresh rate is set correctly, autodetection might not work reliably on nvidia [22:32] Pici: yea same way, but i can't find this package either.. [22:32] soundray : it's up as sdb [22:32] The audio controls have no effect on volume [22:32] sudo apt-get install pastebinit [22:32] ubuntu installed GRUB on the wrong hard drive (on the data disk rather than disk with root partition), it works fine but id like to still be able to boot when i remove my data disk, how can i easily invert this without breaking the system [22:32] NcA: try this then: [22:32] !info pastebinit [22:32] pastebinit: command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 7 kB, installed size 84 kB [22:32] something came up and said it was being mounted automatically [22:32] NcA: 'mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt && ls /mnt/' [22:32] broken: make sure you have universe enabled, its there. [22:33] NcA: I thought you were in recovery mode? [22:33] I am [22:33] :S [22:33] Anyone have any idea how I can fix my audio? [22:33] Pici: i am on the livecd maybe thats why.. [22:33] broken: perhaps. [22:34] I just typed it and got :special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist [22:34] i have a question. I've changed the background color on my login screen, but the background color on my splash screen is still brown. Where do I change that? [22:34] NcA: how did it notify you of the automatic mounting? [22:34] Root password? good idea or not? [22:34] bad idea [22:34] i have a lot of pdf articles here, and i want to search some text inside these pdfs... how can i search it on ubuntu? is there any software capable of doing the search? [22:34] !root | zcat[1] [22:34] you sure? [22:34] zcat[1]: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [22:34] zcat[1], also unneccessary [22:34] .join #kubuntu [22:34] where can I change the window title bars to be not transparent when inactive?

Ubuntu just killed my USB mouse. [22:36] Man, I should've just stuck with Windows. [22:36] NcA: where did it say the device name was /dev/sdb ? [22:36] ubuntu installed GRUB on the wrong hard drive (on the data disk rather than disk with root partition), it works fine but id like to still be able to boot when i remove my data disk, how can i easily invert this without breaking the system [22:37] how do i view all users on a system, command line [22:37] when I typed dmesg | tail [22:38] good evening, I'm pretty new to ubuntu, and I was wondering if there was any way to install an old version of MySQL? I need 4.x instead of 5.x [22:38] dwxreaper: cat /etc/passwd [22:38] Niteye-> you have to move over your kernel to the drive you want to boot from, and the rest of grub [22:38] bulmer: no, that's not necessary (Niteye) [22:38] Can anyone tell me what app need to be installed so that i can change the boot splash screen from xubuntu to ubuntu?

[22:43] is the ati proprietary driver in the repos [22:43] soundray: no theres one disk with linux and swap on it, and an ntfs drive with all my data, but in the BIOS i have to set it to boot from the drive where ntfs is [22:43] the new one that works [22:43] soundray: the internet google it there is plenty of literature but I cnat find a fix to work with 64 bit ubuntu I just need to know if there is one? [22:43] with [22:43] compiz [22:43] adrian_, you might just consider running 32bit system for now, there's a bunch of things that aren't supported under 64bit yet [22:43] Who is the default owner of ~/.Xauthority on Ubuntu systems?

[23:14] ChiChi, you could buy a laptop with no os and install it [23:14] enyc, i simply want to share files between the two 7.10 distros [23:14] Compaq, ChiChi [23:14] RickJones: NOTE!!! In order to log-into any "shares" on ubuntu-end you will need to create a samba password (smbpasswd) for the ubuntu user-account you wish to smb into remotely [23:14] RickJones: samba will work [23:14] ChiChi, or some comapnys like dell can do that [23:14] ak5: Why Compaq? [23:15] ChiChi, many laptops are broken in regard to suspend/hibernate, and all the odd features working fully... so do some research first [23:15] RickJones: if you know more about what you are doing you can play with NFS but i dont reccomend it to start with [23:15] enyc, will the Xorg login work for a login ? as i own both machines... [23:15] THIS [23:15] IS [23:15] Ashfire908: I looked at dell, the CS rep was snippy and cut me off. [23:15] why when i paste something in that pastebin my browser closing??

Everything works perfectly [23:15] Was it !offtopic? [23:15] RickJones: the UNIX login (used for the gdm login thing, console, ssh ) will NOT work for smb [23:15] ChiChi, well i hate dell i just know they provide them with ubuntu on it [23:16] !offtopic | mistone [23:16] mistone: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[23:16] RickJones: not a NEW user [23:16] Rubin: why lenovo? [23:16] RickJones: just SET a samba-password which is not the same thing as the UNIX password for technical reasons [23:16] ChiChi: Just go Dell, they OEM Ubuntu [23:16] Evanlec, how long does it usually take? I always thought it was like the next day and were going on 3 days [23:16] can anyone help me find out what keymap i'm using?

[23:17] Does anyone have experience with CUPS here? [23:17] iresprite, I use one on my computer every day [23:17] Can someone confirm that Wine now works under 64bit Ubuntu?

I cant remove by sudo apt-get remove pidgin [23:18] i have problems in gutsy concerning saving programme settings. amarok and ksynaptic do not keep their changes after logging off (amarok even after minimising it). any ideas? [23:18] how can I get remove the pidgin version 2.2.1 ? I cant remove by sudo apt-get remove pidgin [23:18] ChiChi: I would actually go for an Ubuntu laptop, but that's biased because I cannot stand the Mac GUI [23:18] ChiChi, check out the new asus laptops (soon to come) for 300$ [23:18] just for laughs [23:18] ganymed123: you should really be in #kubuntu [23:18] I'm getting the error "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed" [23:18] it's expensive, ak5 [23:19] how can I get remove?

[23:19] yep, ak5 [23:19] RickJones: Im fairly sure you will need to "sudo smbpasswd -a username" (where username is the username) in ordor to create the samba password [23:19] why my bluethoot can't connect with my nokia 6280??? [23:19] I tried putting $debug=1 in the file, but I'm not seeing a debug log. [23:20] RickJones: THEN you can login to shares and access as-if you were that user-account from windows/unix/whatever [23:20] novato_br: sorry, but how is that expensive, if I can find laptops for 2000+ $ [23:20] up! [23:20] up! [23:20] lol [23:20] i am [23:20] Would anyone know if Amarok has problems with secure RSS feeds? [23:20] on my country 300$ is like 1750$ [23:20] enyc, ok [23:21] RickJones: ANOTHER caveat is that you can end up connecting as nobody/guest if you do not "places > connect to server" and connect with the right username to the share... its kindof hard to explain [23:21] ak5, i talking about on my country [23:21] novato_br: How much would you pay for a laptop? [23:21] it ives me La stringa «obex://[00:15:de:f0:5e:52]» non è un nome di posizione valido.

[23:23] whats the mediaubuntu repistory [23:23] up! [23:23] i cant seem to find it on google [23:23] Broccoly: I thought the built in nautilus/whatever does that [23:23] up!

[23:25] i'm using ubuntu on an older laptop. is there any way to reduce the ammount of resources needed by the OS? [23:25] remastering perhaps? [23:25] does anyone know how to get around the "Buffer I/O error, dev fd0, logical block 0" problem with the gutsy desktop/livecd? I've read many posts that show many people are having this problem, but I've not seen a solution. [23:25] is that a hard think to do? [23:25] Broccoly: well.. you can use gphoto [23:25] hdevalence, ask them in #xubuntu [23:25] hello [23:25] <__mikem> HaryPotrOwnsU, you could use fluxbuntu which will take less resource [23:25] can someone just tell me the media ubuntu repository :( [23:25] Broccoly: or theres many other tools... experiment... backup files first just in case etc. ;-) [23:26] !repositories [23:26] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.

[23:27] enyc, is it ancient? [23:28] <__mikem> HaryPotrOwnsU, its an ubuntu derivative [23:28] JWay: ext3 is crashproof basically... it uses "journalling" [23:28] yeah. i found it [23:28] thx [23:28] HaryPotrOwnsU: It's a flavor of ubuntu, but I believe you can apt-get install fluxbox [23:28] okay cool [23:28] enyc: that's the whole point of asking is not to experiment with a bunch of programs ;-) all i want is to browse a folder with images heh [23:28] HaryPotrOwnsU: and change default desktop environment [23:28] JWay: if anything it might be slightly slover... not sure... things like directory-indexes/filetype "options" make more differente depnding on use [23:28] okay [23:28] good idea ak5 [23:29] Broccoly: browsing is easy... use nautilus [23:29] but is it possible to convert the ext2 to ext3?

[23:29] enyc: nautilus does not store thumbnails like windows does [23:29] JWay: how is it wounted? [23:29] Broccoly: and... you can still browse [23:29] is wpa supplicant included by default in ubuntu [23:30] you mean mounted?

[23:38] JWay: I would do the 'test cd' option if you can find it [23:38] no [23:38] JWay: I would reboot to re-mount as ext3 [23:39] HaryPotrOwnsU: It explains why setting a root password is not the best way to do things [23:39] test cd option where? [23:39] JWay: sorry wrong person (cd test) [23:39] ah ok [23:39] what's the difference between loading X and GDM normally and running "init 3" The only way I can keep my system from freezing up while trying to load the desktop is by running recovery console and typing "init 3" [23:39] crdlb, ok, i've got that installed now. But I'm not finding any settings that seem to help me [23:40] enyc, I'll reboot - thank you so far.. if I don't come back.. it failed ;) [23:40] did you mean me, enyc? [23:40] what do i type in order to find out my internaal NAT ip ? [23:40] number9: I would do the 'test cd' option if you can find it [23:40] RickJones: ifconfig [23:40] number9: check cd integrity or whatever it is [23:40] says coimmand not founf [23:40] says command not found [23:40] arbeck23: general options>desktop size [23:40] troseph, funny that given the fact that default run level for ubuntu is 2 - you must have done something [23:40] Why does the trash icon in gnome say I have 49 items in the trash, and yet there aren't any in there? (There's nothing hidden either) [23:40] number9, gutsy stalled out on me around there, give the alternate cd a go [23:40] yeah I'm downloading it now [23:40] arbeck23: make sure that the third option, "Number of desktops", is set to 1 [23:41] oh, thats an F [23:41] IFCONFIG got it thanks [23:41] crdlb, it is [23:41] ompaul: I just installed Ubuntu and now that's the only way to log in. [23:41] boy oh boy my ubuntu box is totally fubar !! [23:41] ompaul: otherwise it freezes. [23:41] RickJones: you shouldnt need ip addresses to connect to samba fileshares... just computer name ;-) === generaldarkstar is now known as AndrewEMT [23:41] etronik how [23:41] so, I'm probably just being really stupid but I installed the latest version yesterday and installed eclipse [23:41] and it was telling me I didn't have the JRE [23:41] I found a solution!! http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html to my problem about having no cd dirve but wanting to install ubuntu [23:42] troseph, never heard of that before, check out launchpad.net there may be a bug reported and a work around on that site [23:42] so I installed the j2re package [23:42] and now I'm getting a bunch of weird errors when I try to run eclipse [23:42] arbeck23: well that was my guess, you could also try right clicking on the "gripper" for the window list and checking if it's in all workspaces mode [23:42] any ideas? [23:42] unikon: ai ai ai... printers stopped printing, Cups web admin has errors.... all sort of printer probs [23:42] hmm the checkcd doesnt seem to be helping [23:42] will try a windows trick... a reboot [23:42] ompaul: Yeah, my MacBook tends to generate these "never seen before" issues. :) [23:43] troseph, well there might be some help in #ubuntu-ppc [23:43] ompaul: its and intel [23:43] crdlb, nope... that was my first guess. I think the problem is that compiz doesn't actually use desktops. Everything is on one big desktop and it just zooms around. Because of that the window list can't figure out what is what [23:43] whts the command to list space you have left on a drive? [23:43] troseph, so back to my first answer [23:43] ompaul: :) [23:44] Hi. I have loose my icons in the toolbar of oo.org writer. Any have that error? Also the font looks kinda wrong in there. [23:44] arbeck23: setting number of desktops to 1 normally makes the window list switch to viewport mode [23:44] enyc, great - it worked beautifully. thanks [23:44] hi! i want to know if there is a channel for help in french language.. [23:44] U`: #ubuntu-fr [23:44] even tho I have ubuntu I have kde installed. some time ago someone had a howto that showed how to do something related to kde. After I followed the howto it changed my start up splash screen to the kubuntu splash screen and progress bar. How do I change this back to the orange ubuntu splash and progress bar? [23:45] thanks you jrib [23:45] Is there a channel I can get help or advice on Amarok [23:45] ? [23:45] JWay: ok im falling sleep here ;-) [23:45] JWay: its possible you dont have otther filesystem flags set which are normal in ext3 on ubuntu these days... [23:46] Anyone know if there is a boot option to disable cupsd? [23:46] even tho I have ubuntu I have kde installed. some time ago someone had a howto that showed how to do something related to kde. After I followed the howto it changed my start up splash screen to the kubuntu splash screen and progress bar. How do I change this back to the orange ubuntu splash and progress bar? [23:46] number9, see services in gnome system menu [23:46] is it possible to tell what process is using the audio device? [23:46] no work [23:47] Jimdb: usplash [23:47] !usplash | Jimdb [23:47] Jimdb: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [23:47] enyc, how would I make sure the right flags are set? [23:47] LinAsH: I don't have that, I'm using the Gutsy LiveCD to install [23:47] please, can anyone tell me where to configure the window titlebars? i dont want to them to be transparent when inactive [23:47] Geekomancer1: #amarok or here if it is ubuntu related [23:47] LinAsh: and the liveCD itself won't load [23:47] Yes it's in Gutsy. [23:48] OSCAR_ACOSTA: for that I think you'd need compiz-fusion/desktop effects [23:48] Jimdb: did that answer your question [23:48] Perfection guys....thanks a lot. [23:48] I'm looking for help for the /etc/updatedb.conf file, is there a way to use regular expressions in PRUNEPATHS? I want to be able to exclude the users cache folders from the searching. [23:48] Jimdb: guys? you mean me? [23:48] BlaenkDenum, I've installed ccsm, it's that? [23:48] OSCAR_ACOSTA: you also have to have desktop effects enabled though [23:48] Yes, you were great. Thanks. [23:48] number9, what does that have to do with cupsd? [23:48] OSCAR_ACOSTA: join #ubuntu-effects [23:48] BlaenkDenum, they are enabled of course [23:48] Jimdb: you're welcome [23:48] I tried to install vmware player from add/remove programs but it said i can't install it becuase of my computer type(i386) but i have an intel CPU [23:48] OSCAR_ACOSTA: go to #ubuntu-effects they can help you out with what you want [23:48] LinAsH: The LiveCD hangs when it tries to load cupsd [23:49] why does Ubuntu think there are items in my trash when there don't appear to be any?! [23:49] that one had been bugging me for so long only i had never had the time to ask the question. [23:49] JWay: "sudo dumpe2fs -h /dev/sda2 | grep features" === mpmc is now known as mpmc|Away [23:49] hello all! I'd like some help setting up a network bridge for virtualbox. Could someone please assist me? My problem is that my current bridge only gives me an ip address from within the virtual machine, but it is not usable - I cannot ping anything including my own gateway [23:49] uvcvideo is a driver or it relies on ov511 for webcam support? [23:49] Hello. I am trying to connect to a remote machine running Ubuntu using tightvncviewer. I can connect as one user but not as another. I was wondering if somebody can suggest how to look for the problem. [23:49] sam55, google [23:50] sam55, thats a good way to look for the problem [23:50] enyc, filesystem features: has_journal filetype needs_recovery sparse_super [23:50] brad016: I did. But haven't found anything that gives me any lead. [23:50] number9, no there is no boot option, did you check the md5 checksum of your iso image ? [23:50] Help! I broke Deluge, and I don't know where it stores its config files. [23:50] sam55, do the other users have the same permissions as the user that can connect [23:50] I've looked in ~, ~/.gnome2, and gconf... [23:50] hey. whatps madwifi? [23:50] brad016: searched google for quite a bit! Haven't found anything worthwile for this case. [23:51] JWay: I would "sudo tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/sda2" [23:51] cdm10: can't you grep for your config files? [23:51] Tamale, u r using VMWare or so? [23:51] DerangedDingo: I'm not sure what they look like [23:51] cdm10: ~/.config/ would be another possibility [23:51] brad016: the one that can connect is also an admin. The one that cannot is not. Also, this user was able to connect till a few weeks ago (when he tried last). [23:51] JWay: it helys when there are many files in 1 dir [23:51] jrib: ok [23:51] *what's madwifi? [23:51] LinAsH: I ran "check cd for defects" but that hangs too [23:51] JWay: its normally enabled on new ext3 creation these days [23:51] sam55, hmm === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [23:52] sam55, I'm not sure [23:52] brad016: I have tried to remove all temp file in /tmp for all users hoping that some lock files may be interfering. But that didn't work. [23:52] cdavis: is there a .config file? [23:52] ok, here's another. anyone know how to ensure an external drive mounts 100% of the time. I have a couple external drives that get mounted via the fstab file. most of the time they mount without a problem. But somtimes they don't. When they don't mount I go into gksu gparted and select the device, select the partition and choose "mount on". Sometimes when I use gparted the mount doesn't show as an icon on the desktop (even tho the d [23:52] enyc, sounds good [23:52] cdm10: what about just doing a GNOME search for it? [23:52] brad016: that's okay, but thanksf for the interest. [23:52] cdm10: err is there a .config file? [23:52] in your home dir? === MikeB is now known as TechnoViking [23:52] poningru: it's in .config [23:52] yes [23:52] number9, sounds like a corruption of the image file [23:52] ... [23:52] DerangedDingo: I tried, but I don't think it seraches hidden files. Anyway, I found it. [23:53] how could I rename a bunch of files in a directory, like *.conf to *.sample? [23:53] LinAsH: hmm wait, it's not actually hanging... it just gets slow for awhile while it looks for a floppy drive that I don't have :/ [23:54] LinAsH: *that is, hanging during the integrity check [23:54] sam55, try going into /home/ and in that users profile, go into it, in the file browser go to view>show hidden files, look for the programs folder ".whatever" and delete it, the program show create a new profile for that ser and fix the problem [23:54] riddlebox: mv *.conf *.sample ? [23:54] uhhh, idid something and my desktop just zoomed in to where its freaking HUGE... like each letter is an inch or so tall. how do I fix it? [23:55] i seem to be having problems compiling with stdlib stuff when libpthread-dev is installed [23:55] godzirra: can you pan up to the menus? [23:55] 'screen resolution [23:55] yup [23:55] number9, you can try re-download the iso image or try the alternate installation cd [23:55] Stormx2, can you use wildcards like that? [23:55] no, I didnt change the screen resolution. [23:55] I was in the m,iddle of typing something in irssi [23:55] when it zoomed in. [23:55] LinAsH: yeah I'm downloading the alternate now [23:55] It may be something weird I did in compiz? [23:55] I'm trying to connect to an RSS stream that requires a user name and password. I know both are correct, and was wondering if I needed to enabel anything else? [23:55] why are .Trash files created everywhere and on every device? Are they ever emptied because they don't seem to... [23:55] LinAsH: it passed the integrity check though [23:56] godzirra: try ctrl alt num- [23:56] riddlebox: Yep [23:56] nope. [23:56] that does nothing. [23:56] well poo [23:56] Stormx2, I just tried and it didnt work [23:58] hehe whats up :) [23:59] i just got done installing 7.10 and when i use the update manager it only checks 6 sources and says my system is up to date and i'm having trouble installing packages. it just says couldn't find package. any ideas?
