[00:00] HaryPotrOwnsU : How? [00:01] well, i think i found the problem. but in my software sources, should i be using "source code" as well or is it not needed? [00:01] looks like ubuntu doesn't like my monitor, and my manufacturer doesn't have any non m$ support anyone got ideas? [00:02] Kenny3 did u follow the step correctly? [00:03] ziyax, ya, i think so [00:03] Having some more problems and was wondering if anyone could help me out.. [00:03] dr_gonzo, are you sure the monitor is at fault? (and not the video card) [00:03] hello [00:03] does anyone use irssi? [00:03] how to update a program using svn ? [00:03] Anyone know what could cause Ubuntu to randomly kill mouse movement? [00:04] When I start up Eclipse and try to open a .java file (not project) it fails and gives me a long list of exceptions.. but when trying again with another .java file from same directory, it works fine???? [00:04] boulba: "svn up" in the source tree. [00:04] svn up [00:04] matt86: prolly a prob with vid card... conflict with onboard [00:04] matt87: dust [00:04] what are the exceptions it throws JWay? [00:04] jrib: Other than that, think it'll detect everything correctly? [00:05] slaytanic: it should [00:05] It freezes mouse movement. Keyboard still works. [00:05] JWay-> if you open same .java file with vim, whats in it? [00:05] <__mad> how to remove a dir that has files inside of it? [00:05] racarter, just a sec [00:05] LjL: what is the source tree ? [00:05] __mad: rm -rf [00:05] !cli > __mad (read the private message from ubotu) [00:05] That, and I'm having major issues where the master sound control doesn't work at all with the operating system. [00:05] boulba: the place where you have the stuff that you obtained via svn. [00:05] my sound doesn't work either by the way [00:05] i keep saying that everytime i come here... [00:05] ziyax - virtualbox [00:06] I obtained nothing via svn, svn is not yet installed [00:06] LjL : I obtained nothing via svn, svn is not yet installed [00:06] About ready to switch back to XP and write Linux off all together. [00:06] racarter, http://www.pastebin.org/6294 [00:06] boulba: then if you're looking to update something using svn which you didn't obtain using svn... you aren't using the right tool. svn is not an updater [00:06] i dont know what boulba is talking about and i am not really sure how to install stuff from source code.. but.. sudo apt-get subversion should install svn and then i think the command is svn co [url] to get the code [00:06] arrrgh! such a simple task, and sooo much trouble.... [00:06] bulmer, well there's code that I wrote myself [00:07] in eclipse previously [00:07] JWay-> why not open it with vim and see if any thing changed [00:07] Can anyone tell me what app need to be installed so that i can change the boot splash screen from xubuntu to ubuntu? [00:07] how do you scroll up in irssi? [00:08] Nevermind, then [00:08] racarter, i believe page up [00:08] bulmer, doesn't look like it [00:08] matt87: whats ur prob now? [00:08] can anyone help with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122735 ??? i am at step 2 but i cant compile like its said , i am told "Cannot fine kernel sources in /lib/modules..." when tryin to use "make" command [00:08] racarter: the page up key [00:08] JWay-> are you sure? take a look around [00:09] Like I said: Master sound control doesn't work, and the mouse keeps freezing up. [00:09] !usplash | heatman [00:09] heatman: 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 [00:09] bulmer, should I see whether the code has changed in the file ? [00:09] Keyboard works, everything else works, and the mouse is fully operation laser mouse that had no issues previous to the Linux install [00:09] JWay-> yes, see if anything out of the ordinary [00:09] maat87: for sound u should check alsa... for mouse, first time i see that [00:10] alsa? [00:10] do the palette indexes in usplash relate to the png used? [00:10] I can open the files in vim, no problem.. but nothing has changed - the code is the same [00:11] JWay-> eclipse keeps a copy in some kind of cache doesnt it? maybe clear those first [00:11] * matt87 doesn't even see how it's considered a stable release with all the errors he keeps running into [00:11] i have no idea what is your problem with eclipse [00:11] but can you just create a new java file and paste the old code in the new file? [00:11] okay how do I find my shared folder in amule using the nautilus gui? [00:12] racarter, yeah I could. I could also just close the error message and try open the file again, and it will work [00:12] I know the UN and PWD work in RythomBox but it doesn't in Amarok. Is there something that needs to be enabled in Amarok? [00:12] brad016: Yes, I have already tried deleting .vnc and forcing it to be recreated. No change :( [00:12] I know this is an extreme noob ? but really, the file structure is a bit beyond my understanding in ubuntu [00:12] Ubuntu apparently doesn't work with USB mice or sound cards. [00:13] hey.. i have a usb mouse... is that why my sound card doesn't work? [00:13] <__mikem> matt87, it works fine with my usb mouse4 [00:13] matt87 my usb mouse works fine [00:13] so anyone got hte answer to my question about where to find the amule shared folder in natuilus gui? [00:13] Since I've upgraded (not a fresh install) from feisty to Gutsy I cannot connect to Wifi networks with hidden ESSIDs (I could before). Should I do a fresh install, or is there something else I can do? [00:13] It's giving me an endless stream of drama [00:14] please I am sure it is a really simple answer thata ll of you havei n theb ack of your brain. [00:14] i dont have any answers, only questions [00:15] flyingfree, look in your home directory for a dot file [00:15] If I knew how racarter I'd slap you upide the head with a trout [00:15] like .amule [00:15] why doesnt my sound card work? what vga setting should i use i the boot file to get a 1024x768 resolution? why doesnt my windows parition automatically load when i boot up [00:15] Let me guess. Ubuntu doesn't work with AMD then? [00:15] sure it does [00:15] dont be silly [00:15] hell, this is fustrating, not even a miserable bw laser printer I can get to work... and we say Linux is evolving by leaps and whatever ? [00:15] I can't see those in nautilus. I know that is where it is I can get to it in a shell [00:15] My mouse cursor keeps freezing on the screen and my audio doesn't respond at all to the master volume controls [00:16] flyingfree, be sure to go to the menu - View and Show Hidden Files [00:16] g [00:16] thankyou so much kkathman [00:16] your welcome [00:16] anyway to make that defualt? kathman?

I get sound on login to GDM login screen but not in gnome when logged in using xmms or other apps? no erros in dmesg either module is loading ok [00:17] i have a T61 laptop [00:17] flyingfree, yes if you check that box under View [00:17] Gutsy Version 7.10 [00:17] giving up for the day.... maybe I can get this printer to print by next month or so... :-( man this is disgusting [00:17] kkathman okay thanks.

After uninstyalling and reinstyalling fglrx on ubuntu gutsy my /etc/ati folder is missing. especially ati-fglrx.sh. any ideas? thanks in advance [00:18] Really, Linux is just turning out to not be worth the trouble. [00:18] is it okay to set /boot as a primary partition? [00:18] I am using a Sceptre Komodo X32gv as my monitor [00:18] works find under M$ [00:18] err fine [00:19] I just did a clean install of ubuntu gutsy as a lamp server and I have no sudo privileges.. any ideas? Tried reinstalling, but got the same [00:19] matt87, everything in life requires patience, if you practice that with linux too, you will find much benefit from your labor :) [00:19] does ubuntu run well on the EEE? [00:19] but running ubuntu using either VGA or component out will go no further than the start up logo [00:19] #debian [00:19] I could practice patience if I was installing it on a laptop. My primary desktop? Patience doesn't exist. [00:19] looks like i kicked around my nintendo [00:19] Neoubu try to su root [00:20] it's not plug n play [00:20] matt87, what difficulties are you experiencing?

[00:21] i'm installing gutsy onto a system with a hardware raid volume. should i install /boot there or on another available disk? [00:21] matt87, have you tried a different mouse? [00:21] matt87, the master control volume might not be working because of your mouse being erratic [00:21] Don't have a different mouse. [00:21] Quick question: How can I change it so that firefox saves downloaded files into the user's home directory and not the /tmp/ directory? [00:21] I'm talking about when you click "open this file with " in the firefox dialog box [00:21] The mouse isn't erratic [00:22] Worked fine under WIndows. [00:22] Davo_Dinkum, in firefox you can set the system to prompt you where to save files [00:22] matt87, I would try to solve one problem at a time, try a different mouse.

[00:36] im new to linux an have no idea what to do [00:36] Ryuoh: what are you trying to do?

[00:38] matt87, why not dual boot then? [00:38] rmaj, there is a release every six months which has the latest software at that point [00:38] rmaj, Ubuntu is synched up to Gnome's release timetable, so it's Gnome 2.20 in the latest Ubuntu [00:38] im just curious...i tried using synaptic it doesnt work. but it does exist. its the chmod command so if i type the name right and the files right on my desktop why would it say that [00:38] can anyone help me or not [00:38] ive done apt-get install xserver-xgl [00:38] There's really not much Linux can offer that I can't get from Windows XP, save a safe haven from Steve Ballmer's growing psychosis. [00:38] sam_, when you were using the command line, had you changed directories to the Desktop? [00:39] yupp [00:39] sam_, synaptic has nothing to do with the files you downloaded, it downloads and installs it itself [00:39] Looking for some help... I've got a PCI video card and was trying to install the drivers for it in ubuntu, while using my onboard card.... I changed the drivers and that didn't seem to work, but after a restart ubuntu will boot but I can't see anything, got a lot of colors and such on my screen (note that I didn't change the driver for my onboard, but this is what happened.) I booted back into XP, uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers, and rest [00:39] ive pretty much followed the instructions from ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=569654 [00:39] how do i load TKCximage is a modlel or some thing i need for msn [00:39] so how old are the packages in ubutu.. [00:39] ok well its not in there anyways so why does that matter [00:39] popishite pojaluista [00:39] but when i restart every time i get a blank screen then have to reinstall the os. [00:39] oh, sorry [00:39] alright new question [00:40] no [00:40] rmaj, mostly from Aug. or so - feature freeze for the mid-October release was early September. [00:40] wojld be nice if some one was helping me [00:40] ffff [00:40] hi..! [00:40] why do i get the same message when i try to updat to gutsy that i dont have the cdrom in when i do [00:40] So is there anywhere else I can go for help about Amarok? There's no one in the Amarok channel [00:40] Ryuoh, I have had similar problems. For some reason /etc/X11/xorg.conf was hosed.

I have posted my issue on the dns irc, but no help there... [01:12] :P [01:12] dr_gonzo, Make a copy of xorg.conf just in case but I think if this file gets hosed up it will be recreated and the xorg.conf will be renamed xorg.conf1 upon reboot or ctrl+alt+backspace [01:13] I'm seriously about to reinstall feisty.

[01:14] mjancaitis, i help you with networking. install sshd, then give me you ip, username, password, and the process id of Xorg :P [01:14] *your [01:14] humblerodent, yea, as far as i know...right now i dont even have java because i dont really use it...but from what i hear it can be installed in 32-bit mode or any number of workarounds [01:14] has anyone else experienced problems doing ldap client authentication? [01:14] dr_gonzo, I use *nix, my family uses windoze, sorry. :-) [01:14] !lista [01:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about lista - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:14] iamchris: make the file it's talking about have those permissions? [01:14] for one neither penguinTV or Miro will work. if i don't have a bittorrent supported RSS grabber i don't want to use gutsy. [01:14] its all good [01:14] roby what are you looking for ? [01:14] youtube videos don't work as well [01:14] Evanlec: cool, thanks [01:14] i'm trying to get away from m$ [01:14] if i want gaming i'll fire up my 360 [01:15] is there a gui for grep? [01:15] um [01:15] eNons3nse, for the last did you install flash [01:15] Ashfire908: i betcha can't help with my networking crap, but feel free, haha; it's random disconnects with wireless when it doesn't actually drop the connection, just stops traffic [01:15] humblerodent, but suffice to say, some ppl might tell u otherwise on here, but 64-bit rally suffers no compatibility problems these days with gutsy and the average user [01:15] eNons3nse, deluge has rss pluggins and you can run utorrent on wine [01:15] okay wolliw. I'll try that. [01:15] humblerodent, anyone that tells u not to install 64-bit, doesn't use 64-bit [01:15] hello, I'm running 7.10 on a Compaq Presario 2100 with 256mb of RAM [01:15] humblerodent: x64 is the sheezy [01:15] Ashfire908: yes. videos work they are just lower quality and they skip. fesity ran them fine. [01:15] Ice_Wewe, I feel your pain [01:15] Can anyone reccomend me a good search program that can search thru all text files in a dir? [01:16] mjancaitis, same here but with a ppp0 [01:16] mjancaitis, foshizzle [01:16] evan: good to know, i picked amd64 without knowing [01:16] FluxD: grep [01:16] I am very new to linux and ubuntu, but I have spent the past three days searching the forum and trying every solution I could find to get my ati radeon x700 pro graphics card to work, especially with dual display. I have a 17" lcd panel and a 32 " lcd TV connected through the DVI port of the card. No problems getting to work in windows... but I can't get anything on the LCD TV and the Ubuntu consistantly starts in low graphic mode... ca [01:16] help guide me through this? [01:16] FluxD, cant the tracker program search thru text files? [01:16] It has a Semphron clocked at 1.8, and the system feels pretty fast when I start it, but it gets progressively slower as I use it [01:16] eNons3nse, which flash is installed [01:16] Pelo: I'll look into that. I shouldn't have to run wine. I'd rather not anyway. [01:16] jrib: how do u do folders? [01:16] Ashfire908: adobe [01:16] Evanlec: let me check [01:16] FluxD: grep -R [01:16] there is no evidence of swapping going on, the hard drive light remains off and top does not show excessive swap usage [01:16] infact, it just seems to sit there idle, but nothing can happen [01:16] ice_weve, make sure you swap is big enough, ant that you actually close applications after you are done using them [01:17] eNons3nse, deluge then , check on their site for the rss pluggins [01:17] firefox won't load pages... [01:17] jrib: grep -R texttosearch /path/to/dir ? [01:17] paullord: I have 1GB of swap [01:17] FluxD: exactly [01:17] eNons3nse, hmm... idk try installing different ones [01:17] Evanlec: well, actually, I wouldn't consider myself an "average user" anyway....it's just that my computer is a total dinosaur, I'm working on upgrading it, and if I went with 64-bit I'd be a total n00b to it [01:17] !ati > jsappiak [01:17] FluxD, yea that works too [01:17] paullord: well, it's rather hard to close anything when all I'm using is a terminal [01:17] After upgrading to gutsy, all my windows start at (0,0), which means the window titles are hidden by the top panel, so I can't move them. What's causing this, and how can I fix it? [01:17] !dualhead > jsappiak check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu [01:17] ty Evanlec jrib [01:17] humblerodent, what type of processor are we talkin? [01:17] Well, I *can* move them by alt-space, and hitting "m", but it's annoying to have to. [01:17] I have an Atheros wifi card, but I don't think that's the problem [01:17] it says i need arm-elf-gcc and when i type which arm-elf-gcc nothing happens... how do i get arm-elf-gcc? [01:17] ln -s /usr/local/games/NeverwinterNights/nwn /usr/local/bin/nwn <--- this is the error when i try nwn in the terminal: /usr/local/bin/nwn: 12: ./nwmain: not found [01:17] Evanlec: also, is it all good to run 32-bit Ubuntu on 64-bit architecture and will everything be as it was before? [01:18] what to do? [01:18] @skif with or without compiz [01:18] !compiz [01:18] 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 [01:18] Skif, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [01:18] mjancaitis, bored out of my mind anything else to know about your network? [01:18] is it mounted, sometimes, in earlier version of ubuntu i would have swap, but it wouldn't be mounted do this sudo swap on /dev/whatever_your_swap_is [01:18] Evanlec: I'm not too sure yet....probably like an AMD 3200+ [01:18] Skif, hold alt + click drag should allow you to atleast move the windows [01:18] sjovan; easy.. [01:18] billenium: sudo apt-get install arm-elf-gcc? [01:18] I didn't have this particular problem in Gentoo. But gentoo had it's own problems, which is why I installed 7.10 [01:18] kk [01:18] yes, it prob. is :) [01:18] any one having problems like this? [01:18] sjovan; hold on. 2 secs. [01:18] Evanlec: right, but I want to stop this happening in the future. [01:18] spanks [01:18] mjancaitis, is the AP seperate from the route/gateway? [01:18] turn off some effects, make sure you have the right 3d drivers running [01:18] g'night folks [01:18] Pelo: I'll give it a go, I guess, seems annoying. :-\ [01:18] or should I shut up and buzz off to install another distro with hopes of it working? [01:18] proprietary [01:18] humblerodent, oh you're planning to upgrade? i would definitely go with a dual-core or maybe even quad-core processor if i were you...and they're all 64-bit these days so u don need to worry about that [01:18] what graphics card do you have? and how much memory [01:19] @ice what issues [01:19] Ice_Wewe, what problem? [01:19] Evanlec: dual-core and quad-core are 64-bit? [01:19] miaviator: in Gentoo? There was no sound [01:19] @ice that [01:19] s not relavant here [01:19] so here's a weird problem [01:19] Evanlec: the computer acts like it's running on 6MB of ram, not 256 [01:19] humblerodent, yes, any newer processor these days is going to be 64-bit [01:19] miaviator: the system gets progressively slower as it runs [01:19] sjovan; can I pm you? [01:20] yes, you can [01:20] @ice what does mem or free return [01:20] I have trash items that I can't delete because they are not owned by my user [01:20] Ashfire908: cable modem into a wrt-350n using WPA2 personal and stock network manager with the restricted drivers it suggested when I went to configure it [01:20] !free [01:20] freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [01:20] Does anyone here have a Brother HL-2040 laser printer? I'm looking for something that will work well with Linux. [01:20] Hey all : anyone know a workaround for playing vids on various sites that require either Quicktime or Windows Media Player plugins? [01:20] Ice_Wewe, well ubuntu does run better on systems with more than 256mb ram, i would suggest u try xubuntu or use a lightweight window manager like xfce (the default in xubuntu) [01:20] Wrong robot [01:20] xoanan: install the firefox mplayer plugin for wmp [01:20] miaviator: it's fast when it boots, but the responce of everything slows WAY down as it runs [01:20] Evanlec: yes, but memory does not seem to be the root problem here [01:20] @ice what does mem or free return [01:20] Evanlec: ah, okay....but like I asked....would I have any issues running 32-bit Ubuntu on a 64-bit computah box, if I decided I preferred it? [01:20] xoanan: dunno about quicktime though [01:20] I would rm -rf my trash folder as root, but I can't seem to figure out where trash is kept [01:20] thanx [01:20] Ice_Wewe, u can type 'free' in the cmd line to see how ur rams being used [01:20] humblerodent: no, not at all [01:20] miaviator: I can't even run it right now, the system is pretty much locked up [01:20] mjancaitis, hmm. does the issues occor to other computers on the network? [01:21] shnastybiznastic, ~/.Trash/ [01:21] humblerodent, no..what i meant by 64-bit is that they are 64-bit capable...they all can run natively in 32-bit as well [01:21] what filesystem does ubuntu like to install by default? ext2? [01:21] @ice you could also install atop to watch the system for a bit [01:21] Ashfire908: not to my knowledge, my Vista x32 doesn't appear to suffer the same problems [01:21] Evanlec: I'm just going to tell you know to get rid of all the helpful but usless advice, I'm not an idiot to linux, I run Gentoo on my desktop, and I know my way around the command line, you don't have to dumb it down for me. [01:21] astro76, thanks [01:21] !atop [01:21] gongoputch, ext3 [01:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about atop - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:21] astro76: is there a way for me to make it install ext2? [01:21] humblerodent, but given that, i think it makes sense to run 64-bit ubuntu, as you can run 64-bit apps and 32-bit apps since the cpu is backwards compatible [01:21] any decent gui that shows a sort of circle graph that can help me determine where all my HD space went? [01:21] miaviator: I wish I could run free, but the system has gone into never never land, I can reboot and tell you, but I'm not sure that's what you really want to know [01:21] sjovan; are you not getting my msgs? :x [01:22] gongoputch, yes you can install on ext2 also [01:22] xoanan, Applications->add/remove Programs and search for the type of file you want to play. [01:22] astro76: great! thanks [01:22] Evanlec and mjancaitis: cool, thanks [01:22] downhillgames: yes i'm [01:22] Ice_Wewe, okay...well like i said, ubuntu is designed to run on systems with more ram [01:22] mjancaitis, i mean on your comp (the one with the issue), if you access another comp on the net, does the same thing happen or only with the internet [01:22] @ice if you know what the issue is then tell us so we can copy and paste it to you [01:22] Ice_Wewe, gentoo and others are more lightweight [01:22] AdP|DvdRip|004 [01:22] twoshadetod: any reason gparted won't show you what you want? How are you trying to envision it, just free and nonfree will be shown by gparted [01:22] sjovan; I'm not getting anything from you :x [01:22] mjancaitis, are the other computers wired or wireless [01:22] Ashfire908: is there another flash that i can try besides adobe? [01:22] Evanlec: yes, but my point is, Gentoo ran fine on this system with X and apps running [01:22] Evanlec: and this happens when the Atheros card is out too [01:23] @enons gnash [01:23] astro76, that would work, as it seems to be the right location, except that the items are still there. [01:23] downhillgames: that's fucked up. what to i need to do? [01:23] Ice_Wewe, i see...so ur thinking something is slowing u down, like a bad module or something [01:23] sjovan; /j #lindox [01:23] do send pm's on this server [01:23] kk [01:23] astro76, they are items from my previous install [01:23] Ashfire908: got 3 total computers, one running Vistax64 hardwired upstairs, one running Vistax86 wireless downstairs, and this running Gutsy wireless downstairs, literally right next to the router [01:23] eNons3nse, there is free one. btw you got the adobe one from synaptic right? [01:23] what is nautilus? [01:23] #? [01:23] Evanlec: yes... but I'm having considerable difficulty tracking down which one [01:23] mjancaitis, I want something that will show me a pie chart, I look over and maybe I see a large portion of it, click it and it turns out to be a file containting rars I've never erased after uncompressing and combiniing something like that [01:23] @kenny lol [01:23] Evanlec: the system takes forever to boot too, like 2 to 3 minutes [01:24] --> [01:24] Ice_Wewe, yea...did u take a look at the boot logs? [01:24] twoshadetod: yikes, that I dunno, I'll leave that to others [01:24] Evanlec: and I get no bootsplash [01:24] mjancaitis, and no other computer sufferes from it? [01:24] shnastybiznastic, try sudo rm -rf /home//.Trash/* ...replacing with the user name [01:24] Evanlec: yes, and nothing there is telltale [01:24] Ashfire908: correct [01:24] Ice_Wewe, the no bootsplash isnt a big deal, think its a quick bugfix they did for gutsy [01:24] ok back [01:24] i want to say thansk [01:24] hello all, I have just installed Gutsy (via the alternateCD) but now it hangs on console-kit-daemon on boot. Recovery mode works, though. Any help? [01:24] astro76, what does the f part of that do? [01:24] Can someone tell me what is wrong with this syntax: [ $RETURN != "something wrong" ] on the standard 7.10 kernel [01:24] Kenny3, is GNOME's "windows explorer" [01:24] Ashfire908: haven't really tried accessing the other computers as it appears to be a problem just losing the connection to the router [01:24] twoshadetod, force, it's usually not necessary [01:25] Ice_Wewe, did u check out the modules u have installed and compare them to ur hardware? [01:25] astro76, ahh [01:25] Evanlec: I haven't yet... I'm still waiting for it to boot, frankly [01:25] mjancaitis, did you try running ubuntu on another comp? to see if it's ubuntu or the comp? [01:25] It also takes me a really long time to boot up. And it hangs on shutdown until i manually power down my computer. [01:25] hello, please help. I was setting up my wiimote as a mouse, got it going but now have no touchpad. my presentation is tomorrow!! [01:25] twoshadetod, sometimes rm is aliased to rm -i, the -f would override the questions [01:25] How can I setup a partition to be listed under the Nautilus "Computer" thing but prompt for a Root password when mounting? [01:26] !chkrootkit [01:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about chkrootkit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:26] !rpm [01:26] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [01:26] !rkhunter [01:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about rkhunter - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:26] Ice_Wewe, otherwise im not really sure...you obv know more about linux than me, but the issue ur having sounds isolated...u said its a laptop? u could search up ubuntuforums.org with ur laptop model and see if anyone else had issues [01:26] !console-kit-daemon [01:26] i did this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122735 and now my ubuntu is wrecked T_T [01:26] astro76, nope, the files are still there [01:26] Ashfire908: not yet, and can't especially do it easily; the x64 upstairs is RAIDed and I haven't found a good way to install to it yet, though I want to, and doesn't have a wireless card, and the x86 downstairs isn't my comp, and thus isn't available for testing [01:26] !deb === MikeG_ is now known as MikeG [01:26] @number9 you spoofed it [01:26] Ashfire908: unless the liveCD has wireless support? [01:26] astro76, hte files only show up in the trash browser launched from the panel applet [01:27] Is there a possibility u guys make automated script/installer for that aiptek driver installation? [01:27] miaviator: I what? [01:27] Evanlec: I'm using all of RAM and 32MB of swap, and the system is fast [01:27] mjancaitis, should/might [01:27] 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) [01:27] Evanlec: been up for about 3 minutes [01:27] what's the best way to install ubuntu on a computer with no functioning cdrom? [01:27] I don't know i didn't see an answer [01:27] hi evenlac [01:27] astro76, an ls -al of ~.Trash shows a clean scope [01:27] Ice_Wewe, okay so when does it start to slow down? [01:27] !console-kit-daemon [01:27] lee986321, hi [01:27] I finally found the answer to my problems [01:27] lee986321, what was ur problems? [01:27] Ashfire908: I'll try that tomorrow, but it's not a valid troubleshooting step for tonight, at least, sadly [01:27] Hmmmm [01:28] but...it not a good solution [01:28] I don't like robot anymore [01:28] mjancaitis, for the raid comp, if it's hardware raid (like has a array controller) you should be able to install [01:28] I had to use something totally different [01:28] other then Ubuntu or Kubuntu [01:28] Hi. On my box running 7.10, none of my buddies show up in pidgin. Does anyone know what might be wrong? (I ask here and not in #pidgin because the #pidgin folks only support the most recent version.) [01:28] miaviator, i thin it's ignoring you [01:28] Evanlec: about 15 minutes after boot [01:28] lee986321, what was your original problem? [01:29] .com.br [01:29] how do i run the rockboxdev.sh script thats in the tools folder? [01:29] MikeG, did you set up the accounts? [01:29] Ashfire908: it's technically RAID in the BIOS off of an ICH9R chipset, so I THINK it's hardware raid, but I've never found any real walkthrough of how to install to it [01:29] billenium: chmod +x the file and then run it in a terminal [01:29] Ashfire908: I did. They are connected. The buddies have showed up before. [01:29] mjancaitis, hardware raid is transparent [01:29] mjancaitis, its not true hardware raid, i had the same problem, you have what they call fakeraid [01:29] <_spitFIRE> I'm running Gutsy on Dell Inspiron E1505 and I can't record anything with the mic!!! Furthere, if I play movies in Totem it works fine; any other player (kmplayer, vlc) don't have any audio output! [01:30] who has ubuntu 7.10 [01:30] MikeG, are they all offline or not in the list [01:30] thunderbird is redownloading and my old emails, and they are now duplicated and the copies are showing up as "new" any way to delete duplicates? and any idea how this happens? [01:30] Ashfire908, Evanlec: that's what I thought. I may invest in a PCI card, but who knows now [01:30] or why rather [01:30] Hi, this is my first time using ubuntu and I"m trying to get mplayer to work properly... such as how to choose different subtitles or lang [01:30] jahnkeaneater: I do! [01:30] mjancaitis, the only way to get it to work is to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto and even then it wont be easy [01:30] Ashfire908: No. [01:30] jahnkeanater, you are seriously asking? [01:30] Is anyone else having problems with Firefox greying out a lot or other programs not responding randomly? [01:30] << jahnkeaneater: livecd [01:30] i am having trouble updating [01:30] MikeG, no....... [01:30] MikeG, no what [01:30] mjancaitis, i eventually gave up on it and just blew away my array [01:30] Evanlec: yeah, I read that already, dmraid and all that... that's what keeps me from even trying it [01:30] test [01:31] MikeG, When I first config'ed pidgin I had to go to buddies->show and select offline buddies to see them, but it may be because they were all off line. [01:31] i have a live cd [01:31] Evanlec: I'd do the same, except it's a pair of 37gig raptors that otherwise have no purpose for me [01:31] Ashfire908: I have verified at least one is online. Further, I turned on show offline buddies and still nothing. [01:31] how do i update from it [01:31] MikeG, so the list is blank? [01:31] MikeG, sorry, no then. [01:32] jahnkeanater: you're trying to update from the CD only and not the web? [01:32] <_spitFIRE> anyone has had problems configuring alsa on Gutsy running on Dell inspiron 1505??? [01:32] MikeG, stupid question: are you logged in? [01:32] any services likke hushmail, but secure? [01:32] MikeG, are the accounts enabled [01:32] yea [01:32] mjancaitis, i see...well in that case i'd use linux software raid (trust me its the same cpu usage as your motherboard raid) using LVM [01:32] the web dosent work [01:32] Joshooa, Yes but have not gotten around to trying to fix that. [01:32] Hi I have a Nvidia 8600 GT with a dell E207WFP and it will not install the latest version of unbuntu it justs gets a blank screen. [01:33] jahnkeanater: edit your sources.list and refuse it access to the web stuff, tell it to only look at your CD [01:33] Ashfire908: If I show empty groups, I get my groups, and they all list as 0/0 buddies. This is not the case. Yes, I am signed in. [01:33] when i turn down or mute sound it turns down headphone and not master same for muteing anyidea [01:33] Ashfire908: Yes, the accounts are enabled. (To restate the bit about being signed in, essentially.) [01:33] firekool, 64-bit?

[01:38] Keepoffgrass: sounds simple enough, I think you need to open a terminal and type "chmod 644 /home", but let one of the gurus either back me up or shoot me down before you go doing anything crazy [01:38] MikeG, when did pidgin stop working [01:38] salah: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/212 [01:38] HEllo room...Will beryle work on new ubuntu?

[01:40] does that sound good to everyone? can I try it? thanks Jancaitis [01:40] Keepoffgrass: check with jrib, see what he says [01:40] Keepoffgrass: nope, you should pastebin what I asked [01:40] Joshooa, One thing I have done is swap out newer with older hardware, if available. [01:40] ok, my filesystem also says Im not the owner in the premissions [01:40] Wow I'm getting 1645/kbs on apt-get [01:40] can I somehow extract data from deb files? [01:41] gandalfcome: dpkg-deb [01:41] k, thanks jrib [01:41] Ashfire908: I have no way of knowing. I have restarted X since I can swear to it working. [01:41] NSM: But I just bought my RAM and Video Card for WoW and can't even play it, it's RAM and nVidia they gotta work [01:41] jrib: I just want one file from the package, that works?

[01:41] hey everyone, i turned on a restricted graphics driver, and now my screen only goes to black, is there a way to turn off the graphics driver from the console? [01:41] MikeG, did you try restarting pidgin [01:42] i just installed the ati x1300 driver from the restricted manager now all i get when i start up is a blank screen though i can start up in repair mode but i have no idea what to do now to fix it and this is not the first time i have tryied the only way i have been able to get it working again normally is to reinstall and i have already done that 18 times already. [01:42] How do I find out what speed my network card is connected at? It supports 10/100/1000 and is connected to a gigabit switch. [01:42] ok, I did that [01:42] Although Feisty runs fine, Gusty only boots on my laptop if on batteries. It hangs on ac power. What could be causing this? [01:42] Ashfire908: I shouldn't have to. I removed and installed it since. I will restart now. === jared_ is now known as KI4IKL [01:42] gandalfcome: but dpkg-deb -x would extract everything and then you could find what you want. Also, you could just use the gui file roller [01:42] Smegzor, the network icon > connection information [01:42] Joshooa, nVidia has drivers on their website, may be worth checking there. I have never had a problem with ram. [01:42] an easy way is to send a file over the network and see how long it takes, or the transfer rate [01:42] jrib: thanks man [01:42] thats always ghosted [01:43] jrib, so I want to start the wireless network enabler, which must be enabled via a command to the /proc/acpi/ directory and then I have to modprobe a process, I have to run it at level 3, 4 or 5?

[01:45] it doesn't seem to do anything. [01:45] it's not showing --INSERT-- at the bottom either. [01:45] Ashfire908: Still no cigar. I'm going to install Pidgin 2.2.2 and if that doesn't fix it, I will ask in #pidgin [01:45] Smegzor, open network manager and set the connections to romeing [01:45] wcstok: not sure if you want something more specific, but have you tried the alternate cd?

[01:45] Ashfire908: 2.2.1, the version in the 7.10 repository. [01:45] Keepoffgrass: can you copy and paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give us a link [01:46] NSM, correct, that's what I'm doing.

Just go ahead and ask a question if you have one. =) [01:49] Keepoffgrass: plain text is fine [01:49] batyboy18: it sucks in here :) [01:49] jrib, find has that functionality? interesting ill look into it [01:49] Hi, I'm trying to do the upgrade to Gutsy Gibbon, but a keep failing to get one source file [01:50] MikeG, run this after you shutdown pidgin: "cp -R ~/.purple ~/.purple-backup; sudo apt-get purge pidgin; sudo apt-get install pidgin" [01:50] jstn: Sorry, no idea.

Welcome! [01:50] Keepoffgrass: now give us the url [01:50] the tomato is a bejatal or frut????????????????????????????

[01:51] thanks guys :) I appreciate it [01:51] every time i try running wine/winecfg my system hangs and needs to be restarted (running gutsy, S3 unichrome video)...anyone know how to fix this? [01:51] jrib, let's make it some easier to explain: To get my wireless card to work, I have to run the command "echo 1 > /etc/acpi/acer/wireless". Do you have any idea how to get this command run each time? This must be runned as root [01:51] MikeG, that should purge everything [01:52] salah: you only need to run that once, it should persist after reboot [01:52] O, anyone know how i can tell the upgrade process to coninue. it's seems stopped configuring mono-apache-server [01:52] when I try to upgrade, I keep failing to fetch: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/disks/fiesty/universe/sources/source.gz [01:53] returns error code 1 [01:53] !updatedb [01:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about updatedb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:53] jrib, no, and if I install acer_acpi, which is the program that fixes the acpi, it installs it self on /proc/acpi/acer directory. When rebooting, this is gone and I have to install the acer_acpi again. This is strange, why do this happend? [01:53] !locate [01:53] locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb [01:53] is there any workaround so that I can use my intel 965g with opengl programs. At the moment it just seems to cause the computer to go to a black screen after a while or freeze [01:53] hey any reason why mlgpro.com site wouldn't work? It runs flash and I installed the flash program. other flash pages work... like youtube... [01:54] Keepoffgrass: you made your $HOME 777? [01:54] physicslord, does it say gzip failed? [01:54] OK I read ubotu and followed instructions - no helpie yet [01:54] no [01:54] |F0CUS|: might have to do with the flash version, I dunno if flashplugin-nonfree is v9 or v10 or whatever they're up to now [01:54] I dont know what happened [01:54] n twunder [01:54] wrong channel [01:54] Thanks mjancaitis [01:54] Keepoffgrass: ok, then we will change it back... do: chmod 755 ~ && chmod 644 ~/.dmrc [01:55] I'm trying to run the 7.10 live CD on an old laptop. 7.04 worked perfect. Problem is, the bottom half of screen seems to have a memory issue. (Middle resolution line gets repeated from middle to bottom) [01:55] k. can I copy text from in here some how? [01:55] Ashfire908: Now it is blowing up on me in other ways. I'm going ahead and just installing my own. (If that doesn't work, at least I can ask the pidgin folks.) [01:55] Keepoffgrass: hilight to copy, middle-click to paste [01:55] Ashfire908: Incidentally, Ubuntu seems to be rather lax about Gaim/Pidgin backporting, which is sort of surprising, since the protocol people break compatibility all the time. [01:55] anyone know if i need mono-apache-server? i'm not interested in running ASP sites [01:56] MikeG, did you run those commands? [01:56] jrib: thanks man [01:56] Ashfire908: I did, and as I told you it got mad at me about other stuff. [01:56] hey everyone, i turned on a restricted graphics driver, and now my screen only goes to black, is there a way to turn off the graphics driver from the recovery mode? [01:56] ok, i did that [01:56] MikeG, like? [01:56] salah: well /proc I understand since that is temporary. I don't know about acer wireless though. Have you checked the wireless docs on the wiki for your card? [01:57] Ashfire908: I'm now running my own copy. Thanks for your help =) [01:57] yes, it says sub-process gzip returns an error code [01:57] MikeG, sorry [01:57] greetings, does anyone have any suggestions for a USB Network Card that works well, and is fairly easy to install. I have had nothing but trouble with NDISWRAP [01:57] Keepoffgrass: see if you still get the error [01:57] mjancaitis: [01:57] jrib: thanks, :) I'll check and be back [01:57] physicslord, the repository has a bad file. just ignore it. [01:57] I just tried checking for updates. It's still looking for that file [01:57] can you help me out? I am using ubuntu, I just installed the latest flash no free thing. [01:57] go to mlgpro.com and tell me if it loads for you? [01:58] physicslord, there's nothing yo can do to fix it. [01:58] Yeah, but I want to update [01:58] If I can't fix it, I can't update [01:59] "upgrade" I mean [01:59] does AMD Athlon 3200+ count as an Athlon 64, as far as fan/sink compatibility [01:59] ? [01:59] I want to upgrade [01:59] hi [01:59] physicslord, oh, distro upgrade? [01:59] |F0CUS|: I get the icon, and the page sort of loads, I get the bar ( pros, pro teams, etc) and a picture section, but that's all [01:59] humblerodent as long as its socket 939 compatible yes, which the 3200 should be [01:59] jrib, yes, I have been checking around everywhere, the only useful information I find is that it is supported and that madwifi works with it. Nothing else. But there must be a way to get this working without compiling the module each time [01:59] Ashfire908: If it makes you feel any better, it's working fine. =) [01:59] humblerodent, umm...heatsink compatibility? i think so..long asits the same socket [02:00] physicslord, i told you, there's nothing you can do. you have to wait untill someone fixes it. [02:00] can someone show his /etc/apt/sources.list to me please ? [02:00] Evanlec and mrsno [02:00] ^ : it's socket 754 [02:00] okay [02:00] jrib, I found one useful thing: if I do modprobe acer_acpi, the directory comes up again in /proc/acpi/ :) brb reboot [02:00] I tried to follow the instructions again that PELO gave me to fix the ati radeon x00 graphics issues that I have been having and now when I boot up I just get a black screen. Can someone help walk me through getting this graphic card working? [02:00] humblerodent then the cooler should say if it fits [02:00] salah: wait [02:00] physicalord: I had the same problem when I was doing an upgrade, I just switched to a different mirror on my sources and it worked fine [02:00] i just installed the ati x1300 driver from the restricted manager now all i get when i start up is a blank screen though i can start up in repair mode but i have no idea what to do now to fix it and this is not the first time i have tryied the only way i have been able to get it working again normally is to reinstall and i have already done that 18 times already. [02:01] TalioGladius: Ever hear of alex jones?. [02:01] salah: then you want to add the module to /etc/modules [02:01] Thanks Nallep, I didn't know you could switch mirrors, I'll try that. [02:01] alex jones? nope... [02:01] Good what-ever-time-of-the-day-it-is-in-your-end-of-the-world: I have a shutdown problem with Gutsy. After clicking on the shutdown button it shows the shutdown animation and after that the fan goes into full blast and it just stops until I have to click & hold down the power button to shut it down. Where can I find the solution to this issue? [02:01] hey i have the lastest flash installed and the mlgpro.com homepage isn't loading... is this the case for everyone or is it just me/ [02:01] How do you find out the UUID of a device to add to the fstab? [02:01] !uuid > addohm (read the private message from ubotu) [02:01] mrsno: yeah, well, it says it supports "All Athlon 64" and the processor I'm looking at is an "Athlon 3200+" which is 64-bit [02:01] anyone here use ubuntu? [02:01] but I don't know if that makes it "Athlon 64" [02:01] |F0CUS|: did you see what I wrote? [02:01] lol Ifocus. [02:01] lF0CUSl: no....we all use Windows [02:01] yea [02:01] is it a common linux problem for intel graphics to freeze the computer with any 3d program? [02:01] :P [02:01] i have that [02:02] crazy_bus, no [02:02] humblerodent: wrong windo [02:02] should I have? [02:02] g'night all [02:02] humblerodent it could well be a sempron which is almost the same, except socket 754 [02:02] crazy_bus, yes ;p [02:02] so if in doubt, check manufacturer's website [02:02] |F0CUS|: did you see that I can load at least part of the page? What can you see when you load it? [02:02] jrib, thanks [02:02] Just wondering.. he is on radio free austin. [02:02] i can see the top [02:02] theirs suppose to be a whole section below it htough [02:02] jrib: Thanks man, that seems to have worked [02:02] that i can't see [02:02] deemo: maybe try Xorg -configure from the command line? Not positive about that so may want to double check. [02:03] so what is the state of intel drivers. And is there anyway to use 3d on my intel x3000 without it forcing a reboot? [02:03] allright [02:03] |F0CUS|: Well, it appears I can't either, so that's all there is to it. If it's a flash problem, we're boned, because only Adobe can fix that, and they won't [02:03] mrsno: if this helps: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135057 [02:03] click on "Specifications" [02:03] and [02:03] crazy_bus: Control Alt Backspace [02:03] thanks mjancaitis [02:03] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186010 [02:03] crazy_bus: The intel drivers are pretty good. [02:03] ^ same there, mrsno [02:03] !compiz [02:03] 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 [02:03] in gutsy ... there is nothing of particular significance in /etc/skel ... where is the profile stored for new users? [02:04] DerangedDingo: I tried that but it didn't work. The screen just stays black with just the mosue and restarts itself every 4 or so seconds [02:04] gutsy insists on setting up retarded default folders and that has to bhe changed [02:04] anyone know? [02:04] humblerodent CPU Type Athlon 64/Sempron on the first link, second link says Compatibility All AMD Sempron (Socket 754) [02:04] NSM, it said it couldnt load some sorto f module [02:04] so you are good to go, semprons are sorta slower than their bigger brothers though [02:04] I some how managed to mess up filesystem though. If i go in there and click properties then permissions it tells me "You are not the owner, so you can't change these permissions" how to I make that normal again? [02:05] how do i resize the ubuntu partition from within ubuntu? [02:05] Keepoffgrass: sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername ~ [02:05] coreymanshack: The LiveCD [02:05] mrsno: isn't that the compatibility for the mobo though....it's a combo deal so I'm getting a specific processor ya? [02:05] Keepoffgrass: what file are you clicking on? [02:05] coreymanshack: use the gparted editor [02:05] coreymanshack: you can't alter partitions while having them mounted [02:05] derangeddingo thx. [02:05] coreymanshack: and you can't run linux without a mounted filesystem [02:05] When I tried runnign ubuntu from the cd I had all kind of visual animations (windows fading in and sliding out etc) but then once installed all of those things are gone... How do I bring tham back? [02:06] just Filesystem in general, I cant add a folder or anything to it [02:06] humblerodent you are getting a sempron based 3200 socket 754, that mobo only supports 754 but the cooler supports 754/939 [02:06] nerdzyboy: system -> preferences -> appearance -> effects [02:06] nerdzyboy: enable desktop effects under "appearance" in your preferences [02:06] oh [02:06] thanks [02:06] mrsno: okay, so it's all good? === soulrider__ is now known as soulrider [02:07] Keepoffgrass: your user is not supposed to, you should only change things in HOME [02:07] LJL: my usuer name is b so it would look like this? sudo chown -R b:b ~ [02:07] it will all work yep humblerodent :) [02:07] mrsno: Thanks =) [02:07] Keepoffgrass: do you mean / or /home/USER/ [02:07] Keepoffgrass: i guess so. [02:07] it says that the composite extension is not available... hat package do I need to install? [02:07] np [02:07] demmo, if you do a Xorg -configure you think you can undo the driver you installed. If it worked before you should be able to get it back to the state it was in. [02:07] Can someone please point me to a guide/howto on how to fix a hanging shutdown in Ubuntu 7.10? [02:08] anyone know wht Firestarter firewall stops on its own? [02:08] jrib, ok... so I should just leave it [02:08] comprize config..in synaptic [02:08] wht/why* [02:09] Keepoffgrass, the command i gave you restores your permissions *for your home directory only* in case those got messed up. you should leave everything else alone - you're not supposed to touch stuff outside of your home. [02:09] Its name filesystem, its where my bin and boot and dev and all that stuff is at [02:09] is it typical for the gutsy live cd to take 20 minutes to boot? [02:09] so is there anyway to use my intel graphics for 3d without it freezing. Other than installing windows? [02:09] Keepoffgrass: yep, it's supposed to be like that. When you do need to change something outside of your home, you use sudo. But like I said, you shouldn't need to [02:09] and if it takes that long to boot off the live cd should i even bother installing it? [02:09] pestilence: not realllllllly... but does it eventually boot correctly? [02:09] so does anyone know where the profiles are stored that the gnome add user applet uses to define what is to be put in users dir? the defaults are really dumb [02:09] mjancaitis: i'm still waiting, but i think it will. the desktop is just showing up [02:09] demmo, I have had problems in the past with grafix drivers and corrected them this way, may have been with fedora. [02:09] I can still make folders in home [02:09] Keepofgrass: dont go changing the file ownerships of anythough outside your home folder, else you will hose your system [02:09] I just upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10 and after the restart my screen became garbled and I can't do anything. PLEASE HELP. [02:09] mjancaitis: but the taskbar hasn't popped across yet [02:10] ok. thanks guys [02:10] Keepofgrass: you only need to touch files outside your home directory when you need to install/configure software [02:10] pestilence: if you do install, it'll likely be optimized for your system; the liveCD, for instance, might take a while because it's finding drivers for your hardware, and when it installs, it'll know to use those drivers off the bat, so it'll boot faster normally [02:10] hello [02:10] Please, anyone? I am supposed to hand this laptop to my little sister and if I can get her hooked then Ubuntu/Linux is one user closer to world domination [02:10] pestilence: also you might just have a slow CD drive, is that possible? [02:11] mjancaitis: most of the time was spent loading Xorg [02:11] Essse negocio de aumento funciona [02:11] jrib, thanks for the help. I really love linux when it works. And there is one problem too, that's the boot. After GRUB, Ubuntu don't boot. I get only a black screen. But if I press CTRL + ALT + F1 it works. Any idea how do get this working with the normal boot? [02:11] k thanks! I really appreciate all the help from everyone [02:11] mjancaitis: definitely possible the cd drive is slow [02:11] mjancaitis: it seems to have finished loading, but strangely there is no menu/taskbar... [02:11] I have a usb laser mouse pluged into a usb 1.1 port with gutsy, its really jerky, is there a way to make it smother? [02:11] i thought the livecd was supposed to be a fully functional desktop env. [02:11] GUYS, please help, how can I get inside of linux, if the screen is garbled? [02:11] Keepoffgrass: if you ever need to edit a file, like in /etc, press ALT+F2 and type gksudo gedit /etc/filetoedit [02:11] salah: after you hit ctrl-alt-f1, you then hit ctrl-alt-f7 to get the gui login screen. Is this correct? [02:11] There's just something about my computer that makes Gutsy screw up in 100 different ways... I'll have to switch distros [02:12] pestilence: if it finishes booting, I'd advise going ahead and trying the install; what's the worst that can happen? If the taskbar isn't there, it hasn't finished loading. There're supposed to be panels at the top and bottom, so be sure before you do anything [02:12] Wimpog: ctrl+alt+f1? [02:12] k, great :) [02:12] pestilence: doesn't work [02:12] jrib, no, after F1 I get a black screen, the computer is working and get GUI starts up [02:12] Wimpog: did you have ssh-server installed? [02:12] pestilence: I have ati video card [02:12] Wimpog: boot into single user mode [02:12] gcarrillo: how? [02:12] Wimpog: you can boot into recovery mode. that won't load X [02:12] Wimpog: have you tried booting to the "safe" mode? [02:13] Kalumba: yeah i've also set up ubuntu on my sisters pc, the only thing thats not working is the wireless card :/ [02:13] Gaack, every time I start Azureus, it claims it wasn't shut down properly the previous time. [02:13] Wimpog: choose the recover mode at grub menu [02:13] salah: ah, then I have a bug for you... https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/129910 [02:13] hmm recovery mode... I'll try [02:13] The problem: it WAS shut down properly. [02:13] eugo, what is the name of the wireless card that fails to work? [02:13] salah: oops, drop the "edge" in the url [02:14] I have a bit of a broad question here but I have noticied something. On the ubuntu live cd all my toshiba keys, special keys and Fn is picked up... while on some distros it isn't. Is there anything special being used here? A kernel patch or some sort of program? [02:14] broken: probably just extra drivers that are included by default [02:14] Kalumba: its a orinoco usb something [02:15] does anyone know how I can get my desktop cube working.....all my other effects are working just fine...but not the cube...everything is default settings [02:15] Is there anyone who can give me specifics? [02:15] I have the phoenix bios whihc is said to not work with daemons such as fnfxd and it indeed doesn't work, but somehow in ubuntu it works. [02:15] webpirate: you can install something called compiz-config-manager or something like that and it'll give you extra options that will let you enable the cube and rotated cube and stuff like that [02:15] eugo, heh, that is the name of a song by Enya. It seems that it is Lucent card [02:16] webpirate: compiz-settings-manager maybe? [02:16] yea I have it installed and both desktop cube + rotate cude are enabled [02:16] but it won't rotate for me.. [02:16] hmm [02:16] webpirate: and it doesn't work? ctrl-alt-arrow doesn't do anything? [02:16] Kalumba: seriously.. a song? yeah it is. i posted a messsage on the forum but so far no answer [02:16] I can switch desktops but it does not show cube...just plain olf switching [02:16] jrib, thanks, i'll try that out [02:17] No...dies not work...but wobbly windows and the fire and all that is working [02:17] I am just missing something... [02:17] can anyone help me get java working in swiftfox [02:17] :C [02:17] webpirate: one sec, I'll check my settings [02:17] ok thanks [02:17] ARGG! [02:17] :D [02:17] hi there. I'm new to linux/ubuntu and I'm looking for a media player that equates to itunes/windows media player, but so far I haven't found anything worth mentioning yet. Anyone have any suggestions? [02:18] eugo, I am serious. It's a quite good one at that to. I am checking their website [02:18] Amarok is one good one. [02:18] I love the default movie player [02:18] amarij [02:18] brack10: amarok [02:18] eugo, That is the least I can do while I wait for someone to help me [02:18] *shrugs* [02:18] brack10: oh, and mplayer [02:18] okay [02:18] webpirate: I've got desktop cube, expo, rotate cube, and viewport switcher checked, and that's really it [02:18] hi gys [02:18] I can't use Totem -- it doesn't show subtitles. [02:18] cool [02:18] vlc is great [02:18] the ring switcher is awesome.. [02:18] i've got a problem with dpkg if anyone can help [02:18] DanaG: mplayer shows subtitles [02:18] VLC FTW [02:18] * DanaG uses Kaffeine. [02:19] when i type Xorg -configure it saysd failed to laod module ztv [02:19] anyone else notice wine is getting really mature [02:19] its amazing how much crap you can run with it [02:19] shareaza, emule, utorrent, winrar [02:19] when I enable viewport switcher I can't even change desktops at all [02:19] I still can't run OpenAL games with Wine. [02:19] :C [02:19] webpirate: What's the ring switcher? at any rate, those are the only things I have and my cube works, so you might want to see if that, for instance, screws up the cube [02:19] LM22: soon we'll have windows viruses running around on our ubuntus [02:20] i was trying to update netatalk and it errored out and said this: "Errors were encountered while processing: [02:20] hahahahha [02:20] /var/cache/apt/archives/netatalk_2.0.3-6ubuntu1_i386.deb [02:20] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [02:20] " now i can't install or uninstall anything because it keeps giving me that error [02:20] yeah [02:20] :C [02:20] ugh i have no idea how to get the driver for my ati x1300 to work... [02:20] jrib, you're a lovely man.. I removed quiet splash from the menu.lst and I still get the black screen, but it works atleast without the "code" CTRL + ALT + F1, so now my brother also can use the Ubuntu.. man I feel like in love with you, I owe you one [02:20] that will be the day [02:20] brb [02:20] I run AVG for linux [02:20] its wondermus [02:20] ! [02:20] :D [02:20] Ryuoh: now you know why everybody uses nvidia for ubuntu, haha :( [02:20] eugo, here's some good news: at least there is a driver for your USB thingie [02:20] I have a bit of a broad question here but I have noticied something. On the ubuntu live cd all my toshiba keys, special keys and Fn is picked up... while on some distros it isn't. Is there anything special being used here? A kernel patch or some sort of program? [02:21] Oh yeah, here's a fix for blank consoles: [02:21] add 'fbcon' to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules [02:21] Can someone please point me to a guide/howto on how to fix a hanging shutdown in Ubuntu 7.10? [02:21] has anyone got an ati 1300 to successfully work with ubuntu 7.10 ? [02:21] x1300 [02:21] broken: It's probably related somehow to the X config [02:21] I doubt it.. [02:21] i wish i could use an nvidia card for it. [02:21] i dont have another one [02:22] Ryuoh: I have had ATI cards work before, but with more work; right now, however, I have no idea how to help you... sorry [02:22] salah: no problem, if you look at some of the other comments where modules are added to initramfs and removed from the blacklist that may take care of everything [02:22] Kalumba: If you remove the quiet and splash options in the GRUB boot menu, then you can see what's actually hanging [02:22] all i did was use the restricted driver install [02:22] still no luck...I disabled everything except for desktop cube and rotate cube [02:22] How can I kill a window or program with my mouse? I know there's a way, I forget how though. [02:22] then restart [02:22] now all it shows is a blank screen [02:22] XKILL [02:22] then click on the app [02:22] another thing I'm having trouble with is the widget layer of compiz... I'm trying to use screenlets with it, so in the behavior tab of the widget section of the compizconfig settings manager, under "widget windows" I have (name=Screenlet & type=Utility) [02:22] webpirate: thanks man [02:22] webpirate: what's your graphics card? [02:23] i can start in repair mode [02:23] mssever, I'm going to check right now [02:23] is that right? [02:23] nvidia 7600gs... [02:23] Kalumba: In my case, I have NFS shares which aren't getting unmounted before the wireless is deactivated [02:23] but i dont know what to do from there [02:23] all other effects are flawless....just no cube [02:23] :( [02:23] weird, window is not closing [02:23] webpirate: I'm stumped then [02:23] Ryouh, Will this help? [02:23] http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33841539 [02:23] Hmm, if you're getting a rotating plane, go to General Settings and set "horizontal virtual size" to 4. [02:23] mssever, oh and where are my manners: Thanks for the suggestion [02:23] Kalumba: np [02:24] hi everybody , i know this have nothing to do with ubuntu , but i just wanna ask this little quesiton , why i am able to connect to any channel except for ##java !!! [02:24] tamer: register in freenode [02:24] ... you connected here...? [02:24] Tamale: Because Java is evil! ;-) [02:24] holycow: how ? [02:24] those posts are dated for 2006 [02:24] I have to be missing something....does the cude work with default settings? [02:24] i know there are file organizers for mp3 files, but is there a great file sorter for backup? [02:24] Tamer: Because Java is evil! ;-) [02:25] does anyone know where user profiles are stored in gutsy that the useradd applet uses? there is nothing in /etc/skel to indicate why its doing silly things ... where can i look to change its settings? [02:25] i have a problem where it said "your session only last less than 10 seconds whenever i logged into gnome" when i go to detail it said something about xvnkb, can someone help me? [02:25] mssever: lol [02:25] webpirate: default, the cube's not enabled [02:25] tamer: see the freenode website [02:25] "Azureus did not shut down tidily". [02:25] I get that every single time I start Azureus, even if it WAS shut down properly. [02:25] if anyone can help me with a dpkg error im having, please pm me [02:25] webpirate: do you have animation turned on? [02:26] dustin: ask the question here, that way more people see it [02:26] maybe an easy one? what is the diff btw /etc/shadow and /etc/shadow- ? [02:26] is there a wy to sort files for backup? [02:26] ok it flips now.....but not cube....just like a page flip...amd I getting any closer?

[02:27] webpirate: sounds like it [02:27] Man I thoroughly nuked my NTFS [02:27] dustin: have you googled or man-paged what error 1 is? [02:27] The device /dev/sda1 doesn't have a valid NTFS :< lol. [02:27] dustin: It looks like that package might be messed up. Do you have all the dependencies installed? [02:27] i remember seeing a partitioner or file viewer of some kind in suse that shows the file space visually, can anyone tell me the name? [02:28] What package do I need to install in order to enable the 'extra' visual effects? (it tells me that the composite extensions is not enabled) [02:28] mjancaitis: i read a little about the errors and people said it's like a catch 22 [02:28] Hey, my graphics card is freaking out [02:28] oops [02:28] lostboyz: gparted? [02:28] lostboyz, Applications > Accessories > Disk Usage Analyzer [02:28] Srorry [02:28] Filelight > Baobab, because it actually shows FILES. [02:28] mssever: honestly i don't know, i had it working originaly and then ubuntu said to update it. i clicked update and it erroed out with that [02:28] ok I got it... [02:28] nerdzyboy: video card? [02:28] now i cant uninstall or install anything [02:28] has anyone else been having a slew of problems since upgradng? [02:28] i have a problem where it said "your session only last less than 10 seconds whenever i logged into gnome" when i go to detail it said something about xvnkb, can someone help me? [02:28] I had to change "Horizontal Virtual Size" to 4 [02:29] are there desktop effects for xubuntu? [02:29] it was a visual file manager [02:29] my video card supports them [02:29] that showed every folder [02:29] dustin: It really sounds like a broken package. You should probably file a bug report [02:29] they were enabled when I ran from the cd [02:29] webpirate: there you go! need four sides for a cube :D === wgheath is now known as xp_prg [02:29] well..it kinda works... [02:29] can someone help? [02:29] my computer randomly hibernates sometimes after i log in from suspend. even though i dont have hibernate set as a power option [02:29] ok when i type fglrxinfo it gives me an Error: unable to open display :0 [02:29] mssever: do u know how to remove it? it tells me its too unstable when i try to force it to uninstall in apt-get [02:29] im in desperate need of ati-fglrx.sh. does anyone have that file and can send it to me? [02:29] also i've had my keyboard not work and my wireless not work frequently since upgrading [02:29] --reinstall also doesn't work [02:29] sexcopter: Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? Xubuntu is supposed to be lightweight [02:30] Since I've upgraded (not a fresh install) from feisty to Gutsy I cannot connect to Wifi networks with hidden ESSIDs (I could before). Should I do a fresh install, or is there something else I can do? [02:30] I am inside the cube [02:30] dustin: sudo aptitude remove whatever [02:30] webpirate: yeah, I haven't figured out how to enable or if it's even possible to get the outside view zoomed out and everything [02:30] does anyone here know how I can share my wireless connection that I am using at borders through tmobile with another windows laptop? [02:30] seems like gutsy is extremly buggy [02:30] would I use ip masquerading? [02:30] mssever: i can see that, just wondered if it had the option to support them anyway if people wanted [02:30] I had it set yesterday....:( [02:30] it also takes about twice the time for my desktop to show up after i login in. [02:31] crdlb: Any idea? [02:31] I got it... [02:31] webpirate: what was it? [02:31] sexcopter: I don't use Xubuntu, so I wouldn't know. I bet that you could install and run Compix Fusion if you knew what you were doing, though [02:31] nerdzyboy: what video card? [02:31] hi, i have a webcam genius videocam eye, but i dont have a driver [02:31] it really does matter [02:31] the behaviour tab in rotate cube...there is a check mark for "inside cube" === Johnson_ is now known as Peter_Smith [02:31] <`eric-> !88000 [02:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about 88000 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:31] <`eric-> !8800 [02:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about 8800 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:31] Stupid question, in FTP, how can I get all files/folders from directory to a local directory?

[02:32] nerdzyboy: did you enable the restricted driver somehow? [02:33] yep [02:33] i know there are file organizers for mp3 files, but is there a great file sorter for backup? [02:33] thanks.. [02:33] nerdzyboy: that would be the problem [02:33] does anyone here have any experiance setting up CGI in apache? I am trying to set up CGI irc but i cant seem to get it to work [02:33] fglrx (the restricted driver) doesn't support AIGLX, so you'd have to use Xgl [02:34] So I just deactivate them? [02:34] yes [02:34] one thing I noticed....with beryl the windows used to raise of the desktop while you were rotating....can't do that anymore [02:35] <`eric-> can anyone help me get my 8800 to work.. i've select the restricted driver, and it works sometiems.. but other times it just won't boot... :( [02:35] crdlb: So I just deactivate them? [02:35] juanbond: I don't think there's a way from the CLI ftp prog, but GUI ftp programs should give you such an option [02:35] cool, thanks mssever.. i'm actually looking into wget and rsync right now [02:35] does anyone know where user profiles are stored in gutsy that the useradd applet uses? there is nothing in /etc/skel to indicate why its doing silly things ... where can i look to change its settings?

How can I do so? [02:42] J-_: Is that a GUI? If so, prefix it with gksudo; otherwise, launch it from /etc/rc.local [02:42] anyone use ipmasq here?

[02:46] bulmer: I used the same process to set the root user's password.

[02:48] !hi | LinuxInside [02:48] LinuxInside: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [02:49] mssever: yeah but naturally I wanna use fluxbox, I'm just not having luck with compiz [02:49] mssever: hi [02:49] alonea, you good with basic instructions? [02:49] ubotu: thanks [02:49] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [02:49] CubeXombi: Fluxbox and Compiz are both window managers, so you can't use both at the same time [02:50] CubeXombi: hopefully. had this for a year now and understand the basics pretty much [02:50] kslater whats the line for root user look like in /etc/passwd ? how about in /etc/shadow? btw you having difficulty logging on as root or a normal user? [02:50] alonea cool.. I'm just going to paste bin what i did myself... It should do the trick for you [02:51] bulmer: only concerned with being able to login with normal user at this point [02:51] tekhaw1: hi again, fellow Caleb [02:51] :P [02:51] alonea: check this out http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42531/ [02:51] hi [02:51] anyone know of lightscribe software available for 32-bit? [02:51] CubeXombi: ok, I will give that a shot [02:51] bulmer: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash for passw [02:52] kslater what about /etc/shadow [02:52] anyone here do any dvd ripping [02:52] holas [02:52] when i try to connect cisco VPN client i see following error: Secure VPN Connection terminated locally by the Client [02:52] Reason: Failed to establish a VPN connection. [02:52] i checked dmesg, but no info there. any idea what might be wrong or where to check for more info [02:52] alonea: I'll stick around for a bit just in case [02:52] bulmer: root:$1/:13814:0:99999:7::: [02:52] CubeXombi: also, is my problem that gusty tried to put on fglrx or some sort of binary when it installed? (this is a clean system) [02:52] hello help after upgrading to gutsy [02:52] hey people, im having a few problems with ccsm, all the tick boxes are grayed out [02:53] xonic1: Try /var/log/syslog and other files in /var/log [02:53] im using DVD:Rip to rip the vobs and i can transcode them i just wanted to know the fastest way to get it back on dvd [02:53] hey guys, i am sharing my home folder over my network, but when i try to connect to my ubuntu laptop it asks for a login/password , and i dont know what it would be [02:53] kslater that looks okay [02:53] alonea yup if you are infact using an r200M it's just not supported by the new driver [02:53] could it be that gdm is mucked up somehow? [02:53] ToddEDM: How are you sharing your home dir [02:53] kslater you may have to use liveCd to recover and set the user passwd [02:54] Hi, anyone knows the default folder for tomcat webapps in ubuntu? [02:54] why does the default kernel on the gutsy only gives me a blck screen [02:54] CubeXombi: ah, ok. (and why did they use new if it doesn't work? bah...) [02:54] the .20 kernel works [02:54] mssever: i just added it to the Shared folders [02:54] hi, my touchpad stopped working, but buttons still do, any guesses? [02:54] ToddEDM: NFS? Samba? What? [02:55] emaconline, it's the "splash" .. it hung my system for about minutes .. romove it and you'll be fine [02:55] smb [02:55] ToddEDM set the password by "sudo smbpasswd -a username" [02:55] is there a command to remotely shutdown a winxp machine? [02:55] how do i remove it? [02:55] Vibys: should it take my normal username/password? [02:55] alonea, i wish i knew.. though these drivers do seem to work a fair amount better than the default "ati" do [02:55] ToddEDM: The login username and password are independent from smb [02:55] Is git-core on the repos the "git" program? [02:56] ToddEDM: You'll have to use whatever is defind for that machine [02:56] mssever: no info in /var/log/varlog or messages . any more idea? [02:56] ToddEDM: see /etc/passwd for a hint [02:56] yes, but i think u can use a different password if u need to [02:56] CubeXombi: also, does it matter that xorg-driver-fglrx wasn't installed in the first place? [02:56] anyone, a little touchpad help? [02:56] hi all , Gutsy fails to mount the CD/DVD drive , any ideas ? [02:56] xonic1: I've never used VPN, so I'm afraid that was my best guess [02:57] well it wouldn't have helped thats for sure :) [02:57] it says : "mount: special device /dev/hda does not exist" [02:57] aboo0ood, it doesn't mount the device at all? [02:57] aboo0ood, is it a sata or ide drive? [02:57] aboo0ood: Is that set up in /dev/fstab? It's probably /dev/sd* in Gutsy [02:57] alonea: well it wouldn't have helped thats for sure :) [02:58] gnuts: SATA i guess [02:58] does Ubuntu use custom pam modules for sudo? [02:58] and if so, where can I find the patches for it :P [02:58] CubeXombi: ^__^. thankfully I haven't even tried for fglrx yet. at this point, I just want my system to properly work. [02:58] so i think it will be labeled as sda not hda in gutsy [02:58] that is what mine is [02:58] mssever, gnuts , genefitz : this is the line in fstab : /dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 [02:59] alonea: i hear ya. i was scratching my head trying to figure out my card only a few days ago.. [02:59] sorry, i was thinking hard drives [02:59] aboo0ood: Try commenting out that line. It should work without an fstab entry [02:59] 7.`10 still have brightness problem on some notebook. it couldn't control brightness with "Fn+" any1 know about it ? [03:00] aboo0ood: If you really want an fstab entry, you can discover how it mounts when commented and modify fstab accordingly [03:00] hey [03:00] any ideas why a touchpad would stop from one boot to the next? [03:00] CubeXombi: yeah, I had it all good, but then gusty came and I had to get the latest. ^^;;; I will brb [03:00] no1 know? [03:00] mssever: i need to reboot i guess , but i have a problem in my kernel , it acts nondeterministically , most of the times it gives me sth like : Disabling irq #20 [03:01] alonea: Same here.. no sweat.. [03:01] mssever: other times it works fine [03:01] aboo0ood: Sounds like flaky hardware [03:02] mssever: i used to face the same problem in Feisty , googling the problem gave me an indication that it's a kernel bug [03:02] mssever: i am rebooting anyways :) brb [03:02] on packages.ubuntu.com i can find libboost-date-time 1.33 as version but i have installed 1.34 (but no 1.33 available) any idea how this can be? [03:02] lot of people are not able to use cisco vpn..it doeesnt connect. is there any alternative of cisco vpn client? [03:02] mssever: do u know that 7.`10 still have brightness problem on some notebook. it couldn't control brightness with "Fn+" [03:02] clusty: Are you using any third-party repositories? [03:03] what's the best way of moving a bunch of files between two fresh gutsy installs over an X-over cable? scp? [03:03] clegane, thats one way. [03:03] mssever, nope. stuff enabled from synaptic [03:03] LinuxInside: Hmm...Works on mine. Dunno what to tell you [03:03] hello [03:03] mssever, no extra manually added [03:03] clegane, i tend to use the 'fusessh' tools. [03:03] LinuxInside, brightness Fn works on my gateway [03:03] one more try, my touchpad doesn't work all of a sudden, though the buttons still do, last boot it was fine. any ideas? [03:03] back.. so just need to delete the 'splash' and the .22 kernel works? [03:03] how? [03:04] dr_willis, alrighty, thanks for the tip [03:04] emaconline, could use the 'nosplash' option to the kernel [03:04] clusty: I think that there's a tab in synaptic that will tell you where a particular package is coming from [03:04] emaconline "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" [03:04] mssever: what notebook u have [03:04] Hi, anyone knows the default folder for tomcat webapps in ubuntu? [03:04] If anyone can help i have no idea what else to try: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42532/ [03:04] LinuxInside: HP Compaz nx9010 [03:05] mssever, universe [03:05] clusty: Hmm.. Dunno [03:05] btw, is this right? kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=ae815366-d9ef-42a3-aa0e-30e03ed5c53b ro quiet splash [03:05] dustin: pastebin /var/lib/dpkg/info/netatalk.* [03:05] genefitz: maybe only my notebook have the problem [03:05] MurielGodoi: Dunno about Tomcat, but Apache's default webroot is under /var/www [03:05] emaconline, change splash to 'nosplash' [03:06] shouldnt it be root=/dev/sdb1 ? [03:06] If /dev/hda is for EIDE , /dev/sda is for SCSI drives, what is the cmd for SATA drives? [03:06] emaconline, no idea on that part. [03:06] emaconline ( yup) and yes you can do that too [03:06] jrib: what is that? [03:06] emaconline, that uuid might be pointing at /dev/sdb1 [03:06] dustin: the scripts that are failing [03:06] oh ok [03:06] I have sata and it sda [03:06] LinuxInside, it may be, wish I could be more help [03:06] jrib: no i mean what do i do with that? is it a command line thing or what? [03:06] Dr_Willis so i just need to edit that to nosplash and that will work? [03:07] talsemgeest wouldn't that overlap if you were to use SATA and SCSI drives both under 1 pc? [03:07] genefitz: if u wish [03:07] dustin: /var/lib/dpkg/info/netatalk.* is a glob meaning files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ that start with "netatalk". Open them in a text editor and show us the contents [03:07] doesnt it just go sda1, sda2.... [03:07] I just installed Gutsy. I'm trying to edit files over FTP with Quanta -- In previous versions I could hit Ctrl-s and save live to the remote server, but this version is saving to /var/tmp/... and only uploads after I close the editor. Is there a way I can get it to open files live over ftp? === chris_ is now known as kurisu [03:08] mssever: i rebooted , what's next ? [03:08] mssever, I've done what you asked me to do and it stops at the "Will now halt" and then it waits forever === kurisu is now known as kurisukun [03:08] talsemgeest it's pointless to says sda1 and sda2 .. since they don't use master/slave drive like EIDE does. [03:08] what init mode has a non-graphical login? 3, isn't it? [03:08] Hey folks! [03:08] aboo0ood: After commenting the CD line in fstab, can you mount? [03:09] kurisukun: 2-5 are identical on debian and ubuntu. What are you trying to do? [03:09] I think it just does a best guess and makes the decision so it can work like that [03:09] Kalumba: Do you have any network partitions mounted? [03:09] mssever, no [03:09] kslater: 2-5 are identical on debian and ubuntu. What are you trying to do? [03:09] mssever: There isn't /var/www here... thanks anyway [03:09] your mom and dad are here, kur? [03:09] how do i install aiglx for ubuntu [03:09] mssever: u mean using terminal ? mmm i am trying to issue a mount /dev/hda /media/cdrom command but there's no /dev/hda here [03:09] Kalumba: Are you using wireless? [03:09] mssever, yes [03:10] Corvette what card so you have? [03:10] My issue is with Video playback. It appears to be a local machine issue. Regardless of the player I'm in, the video will not display. [03:10] jrib: trying to prove that my password change is working, without involving gdm [03:10] Which card? [03:10] aboo0ood: I mean by just inserting the CD (Assuming you're using Gnome) [03:10] dustin: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netatalk/+bug/109917 by the way [03:10] mssever, Intel 3945 wireless chipset with restricted drivers [03:10] i just upgraded an amd64 system to gutsy, and i have the problem described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=585635, and here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/128803 does anyone have a fix yet? [03:10] kslater: why not just hit ctrl-alt-f1? [03:10] cubexombi: ATI Radeon X1300, i just installed the latest version that includes AIGLX support [03:10] mssever: yes i am using Gnome but it's not mounting it [03:11] jrib: doh! [03:11] mssever, and an ATI X1600 graphics card [03:11] cubeoxombi: it still says composite not available when i try to enable it [03:11] Kalumba: I've had problems with wireless getting shutdown before something (NFS in my case) that needed it [03:11] I found a workaround where I can get it to display by starting it, changing workspaces, selecting another window, and then changing back to the workspace where the video is playing. but as soon as I give that window focus again, the video disappears. Sound familiar to anyone? [03:11] had ldap in fiesty and now after upgrade and removing libnss-ldap, libpam-ldap system isn't too good [03:11] mssever, how to change the shutdown order to fix that issue? [03:12] Kalumba: I had to fiddle with the init scripts [03:12] alonea: and? [03:12] CubeXombi: nope. no luck. what confuses me if is I goto recovery mode and type in startx the system starts up fine, though it is root, but yet it doesn't load if I just load it normally under grub. [03:12] mssever, at this point I am willing to watch 10 minutes of Brittany Spears to get this sucker to work properly [03:12] talsemgeest If fdisk is used to create a partition, so does /etc/fstab, right? [03:12] I've seen people having good luck following this http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/10/23/fglrx-8423---finally-with-AIGLX-support [03:12] Kalumba: The init scripts live in /etc/init.d, and on shutdown, you're interested in runlevels 0 and 6 [03:12] is there a way I can run a Windows XP partition in vmware player [03:12] Lets see here... not sure how to gather my system specs yet either to let you know what my graphics card and such is... [03:13] pga, fstab defines what gets mounted where [03:13] Kalumba: Additionally, Ubuntu's upstart _might_ be a factor [03:13] well.. can you pastebin you xorg.conf? [03:13] mssever: any ideas ? [03:13] brad016, its doable. but requires manual editing of the vmware virtual machine config files [03:13] Kalumba: Basically, it's quite complex. It took me a long time to solve my problem [03:13] brad016, saw some articals on the web about doing that. and it will confuse your XP install. since the hardware will all be changed [03:13] aboo0ood: one minute... [03:13] brad016, which can trigger the xp reactivation stuff [03:13] If fdisk is used to create a partition, so does /etc/fstab, right? [03:13] CubeXombi: sure, note that I reconfigured it back to default. gimmie a sec. === arbeck is now known as arbeck23 [03:14] mssever, I am persistant now that I have a possible convert (my little sister) depending on it [03:14] alonea no problem [03:14] pga, fstab has NOTHING to do with 'creating' partitions. it defins where partitions are mounted to. [03:14] Dr_willis, I never had to activate it, its a dell oem so... [03:14] does anyone know where user profiles are stored in gutsy that the useradd applet uses? there is nothing in /etc/skel to indicate why its doing silly things ... where can i look to change its settings? [03:14] Dr_willis cheers. [03:14] brad016, try putting it in a totally different machine.. and i bet there will be issues. [03:14] holycow: what do you mean by "useradd applet"? [03:14] i'm having trouble with compiz. When I move things to a second desktop, they don't always leave the window list bar of the other desktop [03:14] under system/admin [03:15] brad016, good luck. :) [03:15] hey hey! im trying to do an archival backup of a TON of music. what would be the best way to compress many portions? [03:15] holycow: define "silly things" [03:15] i have around 60 gigs im gonna compress. =) [03:15] Dr_willis, can you give me a link to the thing [03:15] Kalumba: The best that I can suggest is that you first learn how init scripts work (Google it--it's too involved to explain here) and then work through the process of elimination to find the culprit [03:15] yah fstab is a way to simplify mounting for later use [03:15] Dr_willis, or what you gooogled [03:15] jrib: its adding folders that arent in /etc/skel [03:15] brad016, not really. I just saw the artical on some linxu site. I know better then to even try it. :) I got a nice clean xp setup for my vmware needs. [03:15] What does >> gksu "update manager -c" do? Upgrade my distribution? [03:15] holycow: what folders [03:15] Kalumba: I just got an idea: Disable wireless and go wired. If you can shut down normally, than you know wireless is the culprit [03:16] . /music /documents /crap, etc [03:16] CubeXombi: http://pastebin.ca/753305 [03:16] mssever, I'm checking now [03:16] . [03:16] Dr_willis, okay well thanks, but its a new installation, i just need it for my ipod and itunes downloads [03:16] alonea thanks I'll be a sec [03:16] Dr_willis, I got a iTouch [03:16] CubeXombi: no problem. [03:16] Holycow. holycow. holycow [03:16] holycow: read comments in /etc/xdg/user-dirs.conf I am guessing [03:16] brad016, thers alternatives to itunes on linux i hear. I dont want/have/or need an ipod. So cant help ya in that area. [03:17] aboo0ood: try /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrom0, /dev/hd* (whatever options may be possible), /dev/sd*, etc, until you find the one that works [03:17] Dr_willis What does >> gksu "update manager -c" do? Upgrade my distribution? [03:17] i just installed 7.10 64-bit and wanted to verify that I actually am in 64-bit mode. uname -r gives me "2.6.22-14-generic". How can I tell if I am using the 64-bit kernel? [03:17] pga, that would be my guess. :) [03:17] aboo0ood: You _might_ find some useful symlinks under /dev/disk [03:17] MikesHardLinux, uname -a [03:17] Ah-hah! I found a fix. Thank you for... Well... missing my issue ^_^ [03:17] also note CubeXombi that I am on kde, not gnome, not that it makes much difference here. [03:18] Thanks Evanlec!! [03:18] (as a side note, the problem was the visual effects, turning off the wobbly windows and the cube fixed everything right up) [03:18] Holycow. holycow. holycowcowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww [03:18] alonea: k, also what does it show when do yo an "lspci" ? [03:18] toodles! [03:18] Dr_willis, well itunes is the biggest internet music store, ipods look cool, who doesn;t like apple, and if you can tell me another device that can play 5 hours of video on a multiTouch screen I'd like to see it :) [03:18] exit [03:18] Dr_willis, and yes, I eat shit for breakfast [03:18] CubeXombi: umm, type that in terminal. (I know that sounds familiar, but working on a couple hours sleep at moment) [03:19] MikesHardLinux, my output is: Linux ubuntu64 2.6.23.1-custom4 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 24 23:51:27 EDT 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux [03:19] alonea yup [03:19] LJ: do not do that [03:19] jrib: that looks like its it actually, thank you very kindly sir [03:19] anyone use firestarter here? [03:19] jrib: attempt to login at tty2 just immediately throws back login incorrect, doesn't even prompt for password [03:19] CubeXombi: http://pastebin.ca/753311 [03:20] is there any "killer apps " that are not pre installed on Ubuntu? [03:20] brad016, ive totally boycotted all music - untill the record industry stops sueing grandmas :) [03:20] just name some of the cool programs you guys use [03:20] ToddEDM: Depends on what interests you... [03:20] anything [03:20] I am happy with my gigabeat with rockbox installed. [03:20] * Dr_willis posts Youtube videos that have titles of prince songs, just to annoy prince. [03:21] Somehow I managed to screw up GNOME so the top and bottom bar don't appear any more; any way to get them back? (In Gutsy BTW) [03:21] ToddEDM: I use mplayer instead of totem, and right now I'm enjoying FVWM Crystal and IceWM for a light desktop [03:21] Dr_willis, I hear you, and i love bittorent for movies, videos, and Leopard, but I like my music to be high quality and legit [03:21] mssever, it was not the wireless. I am going to test and see if it is the restricted ATI X1600 driver [03:21] alonea .. i may have some bad news for you.. it apears you've got the forsaken video card.. [03:21] kslater: haven't seen that. Seems like you are an the right track with "removing libnss-ldap, libpam-ldap system isn't too good". Have to go now, but hope you sort it out [03:21] i dotn spose anyone knows where i can find lightscribe software that works on 64-bit? [03:21] hi, im having trouble with my display, all windows are blurry :( [03:22] alonea, in otherwords 2D accessaration only [03:22] maquinax, like vista [03:22] CubeXombi: oh, I figured. it is truly an evil thing that I successfully got 3d to work perfectly on fiesty. [03:22] alonea see here:http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_beryl_ati_radeon [03:22] Holycow. holycow. holycowcowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww [03:22] ItsaMeMario: Did you change your nick? are you the former Kalumba? [03:22] where are the initial certificates for ssh located when it creates them? [03:22] can someone pastebin the default /etc/nsswitch.conf? [03:22] brad016, nope, not like vista, like the window is not refreshing so i get several version of the same window one upon the other === ItsaMeMario is now known as Kalumba [03:22] LJ, you're gonna get booted real soon [03:22] ToddEDM: Amarok (music), Inkscape (graphics), epiphany-browser (web browser), VLC (video/DVD player), Gajim (Jabber client) [03:22] and i cand read [03:22] for gusty? [03:22] brad016, what even is legal any more is the issue. Aparently the Music Biz. sayd if you buy a cd. you dont have the right to play it on your ipod.. if you buy music for your ipod you dont have the right to burn the tunes to cd.. aparently just playing Music loudly is a public preformance and illeagle in some areas. :) [03:22] mssever, whoops! Yes. Sorry about that [03:22] !ops | LJ [03:22] LJ: Help!

Even if it uses vesa for now would be good. [03:23] ;p [03:23] But im done ranting against the Music Industry. [03:23] hi, how can i check the dma status of my drive? i've tried hdparm -d /dev/sda but it prints nothign? [03:23] alonea: new fglrx is out, supports composite ext [03:23] some one useing irssi here? got some questions. pleas /msg sjovan [03:23] adante, try a sudo at the front? [03:23] lemme check on the ability for your card [03:23] Dr_willis, ya, but i don't need a doctors note to smoke weed neega [03:23] mssever: should i specify the filesystem type when he asks me to ? [03:23] Dr_willis: just tried, same result [03:23] sjovan: #irssi helps [03:24] hi all I am trying to use firestarter to share my wireless connection, but the available network devices only show eth0 and eth1, which one is my wireless device? [03:24] good idee :) [03:24] thanx [03:24] having trouble getting amarok to work on gutsy....installed it with synaptic, then installed mp3 plugin but I still get "some media could not be loaded (not playable)" when trying to play mp3s. nobody in #amarok seems to know what to do [03:24] aboo0ood: Yes. CDs use iso9660 [03:24] sjovan, you have checked the irssi homepage and its very well done faq/user guides? [03:24] please help [03:24] where are the initial certificates for ssh located when it creates them? [03:24] regulate: my whole thing is, I just want the system to work. I installed a clean system and it has never started up. that is nice that there is a new fglrx though.

[03:24] Dr_willis: i did look at the site when i installed it. maby i should give it another look. thanx for reminding me :) [03:24] I think it is eth1 [03:25] venice: /etc/ssh [03:25] adante, you bring up a good point.. Not sure. But that may be the case [03:25] brack10: You need to add MP3 support to amarok, it doesn't come with it. Why you are using a very bloated media player is beyond me... but... those pages have directions for adding mp3 to amarok [03:25] sjoerd, irssi is the kind of tool ya just gotta read/use/learn/reread :) [03:25] alonea I've seen people having good luck following this http://forlong.blogage.de/article/2007/10/23/fglrx-8423---finally-with-AIGLX-support, [03:25] CubeXombi: what if I set my driver to vga? would that work maybe? [03:25] As I don't have any panels now, any way to start the appearance options applet from the command-line? [03:25] exit [03:26] lol [03:26] damn [03:26] dammit why wont dpkg let me remove netatalk!?? is there someway to jsut force it to remove it no matter how "unstabe" it is? [03:26] venice, in ~/.ssh/ [03:26] hey can anyone help me know why this is happening? this is a screenshot of my screen :( i enabled compiz and now my display is broken http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/1155/screenshotpu8.png [03:26] mssever, well there is a difference when I turn off the restricted driver: with the open one the fan is quiet while the restricted one goes at full blast. Both hang at shutdown though [03:26] CubeXombi: at the time being, I would like to get into my system regardless of what kind of video support. 2d is good for now if thats the easiest to get. [03:26] alonea: I wouldn't .. it says you "should" be able o get it working using the ATI driver.. "Should" though doesn't mean can.. [03:26] How can I configure the gconf mime-type handling so that files download into the user's home directory and not /tmp/? Files downloaded with firefox in particular. (gnome v2.14.1) [03:26] i cannot read the fonts or anything, and the window title gets corrupted [03:26] how do i automaticly mount my /media disks at startup? [03:27] which player would you recomend cpudan80? [03:27] it seems like anything that has white as its collor gets translucent [03:27] alonea for that you can do a "sodo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" that will pring you back to default [03:27] CubeXombi: yeah, have no idea what happened. never had a clean install do this. :'( [03:27] recommend* [03:27] alonea: typo there sudo" [03:27] brack10: Something that doesn't depend on KDE --- banshee is good [03:27] CubeXombi: that is the default that I sent you. [03:27] how do i automaticly mount my /media disks at startup? [03:27] taggig, the /etc/fstab file defines what gets mounted where. 'sudo mount -a' will reread the fstab and mount the automounted entrys [03:27] CubeXombi: its not working with the default. thats been the problem. [03:27] how do i run a .pl file in terminal? (vmware-install.pl) [03:27] Kalumba: There's a magic SysRq key combo, which I don't recall, that is supposed to give you a shell. If you can use that combo, you might be able to find out what's still running, and therefore blocking the shutdown [03:27] brack10: amarok doesn't run well in gnome because it is dependent on KDE libraries [03:27] !vmware [03:27] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it.

Got it! Google, here I come!

[03:29] hi! how can I change the start-up music? [03:29] fatcatmatt: I'm pretty sure that every Linux system has perl, but if not, sudo aptitude install perl [03:29] CubeXombi: server and client glx vendor is SGI [03:29] cpudan80: props! your solution worked! [03:29] mssever, hehe, could it be this by any chance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [03:29] fatcatmatt: woo hoo [03:29] CubeXombi: OpenGL vender string is DRI R300 project [03:30] # [03:30] hi [03:30] Kalumba: I think that's where I learned about it--there and other links from there [03:30] when i run gnome-system-monitor and click on processes, it segfaults [03:30] Does anyone have a Logitech mx5xx that has all buttons working, and are willing to help me quick? [03:30] is there another monitor i can use? [03:30] CubeXombi: lol, this is funny "Warning, xpress 200 detected" [03:30] Ahh yes ..R300 thats the wonky number i was looking for [03:30] cpudan80: i had a txt document saved using "sudo ./vmware-install.pl" from when my brother installed it for me :) thx again [03:30] hi! can someone offer me a way to change the start up music?

I will try it after I have rebooted since I need to enable the restricted ATI driver === nbvdgfhsfdgb is now known as coz_ [03:33] is there a way to mount .dmg files? [03:33] mssever: oh i got it! you mean to do this in console? [03:33] I have had Compiz working on my Xpress 200M, but didn't keep it on, it slowed everything else down. [03:33] thank you Cpudan80 , i can read my fonts if i revert to the open source driver, those ati drivers are really bad =\ [03:33] mssever: thanks for the help [03:33] here's a bugger...cpudan08 maybe u can help. said operation completed successfully...i cannot find it now [03:33] qwerty121: from a terminal, or from F2 [03:33] Dr_willis, how do i fix it then? [03:33] fatcatmatt: you'll have to look at the script to see what it does [03:34] CubeXombi: well, at this point I might just go back to Fiesty since Gusty is a complete no go. [03:34] alonea well ATI says you should be ok with the new 8.42.3 driver release.. I'm just getting the how to cleaned up for you [03:34] CubeXombi: though if you have another idea, maybe it will work. hmm, ya know, in the past, envy has always worked for me. [03:34] Alonea: what notebook are you using? [03:34] CubeXombi: I might give that a shot, though if it fails it means I gotta reformat, at least in the past I did. [03:35] alonea you could giveit a shot [03:35] has anyone gotten convert lit to work under gusty? [03:35] genefitz: HP Pavillion dv8113cl [03:35] lemme get this to you as a last resort though.. [03:35] CubeXombi: alrighty [03:35] Dr_willis, how do i fix it then? [03:35] taggig, fix what exactly? [03:35] Dr_willis, mount at startup [03:35] Alonea: I just did a fresh load of Ubuntu Gutsy on my gateway with an Xpress 200M, and graphics loaded without issue. [03:35] Note I didn't have graphic effects. [03:36] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=584494 <--- help? [03:36] hello, how can I uninstall wrong wifi drivers? [03:36] Dr_willis, so i dont need to manually mount my /media disks... [03:36] Do you think it may have just been a bad burn or a bad load? [03:36] alonea you could giveit a shot [03:36] alonea, i instaled the 8.42.3 driver with my atii and even though it worked, scrolling was really slow, the performance for 3d sucked, i would stay away from it [03:36] genefitz: I dunno, on this laptop, this version of it has been a curse [03:36] taggig: man fstab [03:36] alonea http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42533/ It's quick it's dirty but after it reboots you'l now [03:36] taggig, your question is vague. ANY thing in /etc/fstab will get mounted at startup. There are also 'mount on the fly' features of Gnome/KDE. If you want somthing to always get mounted. You make a entry for it in /etc/fstab [03:37] !mac [03:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about mac - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:37] !osx [03:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about osx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:37] maquinax: well, I can't get even 2d. I can't get anything. I just installed the system. [03:37] taggig, that may cause issues with removeable media in some cases however.

It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [03:37] Alonea, if nothing else works, I would try a re-burn of Ubuntu, at a low speed, and try a fresh load to see if maybe it may have been just a load error. [03:37] alonea, which card are you using? [03:37] Because as I said, it is running like a charm on my computer. [03:37] hello, how can I uninstall wrong wifi drivers? [03:37] Dr_willis, so i just enter like /media/hd5 and it will be fixed? [03:37] alonea: check the filenames though if you can .. I'm just editing an old script [03:37] hi [03:38] nemo__: How did you install them? [03:38] msserver, it got installed by itseft. [03:38] maquinax: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) [03:38] taggig, the fstab file has a specific format of its entryes. You may want to read up on it. You are still a bit vague on exactly what you are wanting to mount.

[03:38] nemo__: Well, no. Something installed it [03:38] brb [03:38] I'lll try one more time... I've tried installing the mp3 plugin within amarok, manually installing libxine1-ffmpeg and also installing the kubuntu restricted formats package and I still get an error message in amarok trying to play mp3 files..... [03:39] alonea, do you get anything in the display right now? [03:39] I've tried restarting amarok of course btw [03:39] the ubuntu installation program [03:39] taggig: paste what you have so we can see it [03:39] maquinax, yeah I just sent alonea some instuctions.. from a fresh install there's no X [03:39] nemo__, why do you want to uninstall them? [03:39] maquinax: when I start my system, its a black screen, unless I goto recovery mode and type in startx [03:39] alonea! [03:39] that i know [03:40] It's not your drivers at all! [03:40] CubeXombi: uuwa? wha? [03:40] alonea.. it's the usplash.. it dies on many boots.. [03:40] CubeXombi: haven't done anything damaging yet. [03:40] nemo__: Either blacklist the module or figure out which package installed it and remove that one [03:40] CubeXombi: ok, how do I fix that. [03:40] alonea, yeah, that doesnt seem like an X problem [03:41] alonea: open your /boot/grub/menu.lst [03:41] mssever, I have checked the /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq file and it only has "1" in it which according to the manual means "1 - enable all functions of sysrq", but when it stops during shutdown the magic keys don't work :( [03:41] how do I do that? [03:41] Dr_willis, my satadisk with like music and stuff on [03:41] looking at the package manager? [03:41] CubeXombi: ok [03:41] you have to be root (or sudo gedit or whatever [03:41] CubeXombi: I am logged into the system as root. [03:41] TAGGIG: PASTE WHAT YOU HAVE [03:41] nemo__: The blacklist is at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [03:41] nemo__, is the wireless driver causing issues for you? generally if you do not have the hardware the drivers dont even get loaded [03:41] CubeXombi: no sudo necessary [03:42] You can use lsmod to find out the module name [03:42] nemo__: You can use lsmod to find out the module name [03:42] the hw is there [03:42] even better .. in your Kernel line (the one you use to boot .. just erase the word splash [03:42] let me see... [03:42] why does my sound not goddamn work on vlc and movie player? [03:42] Or, search in Synaptic for your driver and uninstall it [03:42] i just removed my tv card, it fixed it, and now it won't work again [03:42] nevermind screw amarok [03:42] banshee is 200 times better [03:42] i mean it works on movie player, but not on VLC [03:43] brack10: what's banshee?

It me several weeks to get my issue sorted out and yours clearly is a different matter entirely [03:44] can somebody help me [03:44] i hae installed ubuntu 7.10 [03:44] when I try to upgrade to gusty the update manager says it fails to acquire a package [03:44] Alonea, you won't get the prety little splash screen taht you are supposed to be sing but your machine will probably love you for it [03:44] when ubuntu is loading my monitor turns off [03:44] mssever, darn! This is not going to make my sister happy.

[03:47] mssever, no response [03:47] my dogs name is booogi [03:47] Any idea why gnome-appearance-properties would monopolize my CPU, and what could be the cause of it? [03:48] yes.. [03:48] It seems to take longer on my computer to bot Gutsy than it did Feisty. [03:48] genefitz, once i disabled the splash no.... but prior to that i was going on 7 minutes [03:48] Kalumba: I'm sure there's a bug just waiting to be reported, but what is it? :-( That's pretty annoying [03:48] I'm now down to about a 40-5 second boot.

[03:50] min2: Maybe... maybe not. I really have no idea [03:50] Well, i"m looking at Banshee and tho it seems competent it isn't complete and has many noticeable bugs--that one notices up front. [03:51] CubeXombi: I really do love the fact how you can format your root and not your home and pretty much keep everything. [03:51] msserver: last question - do you know how to disable ip6 support? [03:51] alonea.. whole heartedly agree with that! [03:51] CubeXombi: windows reinstalls were always a pain. took hours to get everything back where on linux it takes a few minutes.

Been looking for that fix. :) [03:53] mssever, no need to 'export' it?

Running gutsy 64bit. tia [03:59] is pdf2ps broken? === cmonkey is now known as nrp [03:59] is pdf2ps broken in the latest ubuntu? [03:59] Nopes. I installed flgrx i guess (cuz it shows up in the driver's list) and when I try to use it, X crashes making me do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. [03:59] greencookie: btw, how did your cookies become green? [03:59] mssever, on a unrelated subject: I installed Startup Manager to see what services were being started upon boot. For some strange reason the Nvidia-kernel was there and activated. That is strange considering that I have an ATI card [03:59] Jimdb: lol Jim, I made them with special 'herbs' ;) [03:59] making mental note to buy CubeXombi a beer or something... [03:59] Jimdb: The kind that gets you in a good mood . :D [03:59] Greencookie: Do you get refresh rate problem? [04:00] greencookies: you should go to the ati website and download their drivers. they are recently released and support aiglx natively. [04:00] How do I check my refresh rate epax. BTW I can't enable 3d acceleration as I'm using the Vesa driver. [04:00] Kalumba: Hmm.... I seem to remember a report that might be relevant. I'm looking for it now... [04:00] Jimdb: How do I install those? [04:00] CubeXombi, thanks friend. that shortened my boot time massively. [04:01] greencookie: you download them and double click on the file that you downloaded. [04:01] there is someone who's have same problem with me? Failed to mount QNAP with SMB Script?? [04:01] Sunbird does not load any more. It initially worked well, but then crashed and has been freezing when it loads ever since. This seemed like it may have been a profile thing, so I tried removing it, but it still froze. This issue still occurs after a complete removal, an installation of 0.7, using metacity or compiz, and using different video drivers. Here is the part that gets me; it works when I run it remotely with ssh and X. I [04:01] Jimdb: thanks. Any way to find out which ATI card I'm using? I tried 'lspci' it gives me unknown ATI card. [04:01] I wonder why the Ubuntu developers put something in there that lags to badly, Usually they are really efficiency minded [04:01] How do I burn a .zip file in command line?

[04:02] Greencookie, have you already installed the restricted drivers? [04:03] from the command line - you sould check out some of the cli based cdburnign front ends. Its been so long sinve ive done it.. i cant even rember the options [04:03] Jimdb: Ok I'll try that. [04:03] !find cdrecord [04:03] Found: cdrecord [04:03] I've tried all the fixes for poor internet speed and I'm still being ripped [04:03] greencookie: the card s hould say what the model number is [04:03] what else [04:03] genefitz: I guess so, cuz when i open restricted drivers, then I get ATI drivers in that window. [04:03] ls [04:03] mssever, that is odd. I can not find any process that is called network running [04:04] Greencookie: is there a check mark next to the ATI driver?

[04:06] Dr_willis: it's in ps format already; I wnat it to be 2 pages per one; like the format of a2ps when I feed it a text file [04:06] qazwsx, ive done that ages ago. :) when printing.. using.. Hmm.. xppp I think. but its been a long time since ive done it. [04:06] mssever, I really really hope that you do have the solution on this one as I feel my sanity slipping away [04:06] has anyone tried getting world of warcraft working? I've used cedega, wine, and crossover. Crossover has been the best thus far, it lets me play for about a minute. I have a dell inspiron 1420n with the intel gm965 integrated graphics. I'm worried it won't work with my graphics card.

I stick with 32 because it doesn't give hell for plugins [04:18] Evanlec, genefitz : ok thanks guys. I think ill stick with the safer 32bit version. [04:18] mssever, so I just rename /etc/rc6.d/S31umountnfs to /etc/rc6.d/K31umountnfs & /etc/rc6.d/S40umountfs to /etc/rc6.d/K40umountfs ? [04:18] greencookie: 32bit seems to not have the extra difficulties when dealing with finding programs that operate on it. [04:18] greencookie: so the general rule is that if you don't need it don't install it. [04:18] could somebody please give me the list of dependant packages for installing sun-java5-jre on a *fresh* installed Fesity? [04:18] Jimdb, indeed, it seems like a craps shoot sometimes in 64 bit, "Will it work or will it crash?" [04:18] Jimdb: while im downloading driver can u tell me how to remove amarok? Add/Remove doesnt seem to remove it as it suggest using synaptic package manager(whatever that is). [04:18] do I need to change mirrors somehow or something? [04:19] greencookie: the installer at the link I provided has both the 32bit and 64bit drivers === miaviator is now known as me === me is now known as stopit [04:19] torshido: I think sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre should do it [04:19] no dice then huh [04:19] Sudo apt-get remove amorok, I think ins the command [04:19] Jimdb, i feel like its the other way around, if u dont need 32-bit don't install it [04:19] Kalumba: Try it and see. The Debian fix is much better, but it's more difficult to apply === stopit is now known as miaviator [04:19] greencookie: why do you need to remove it? is something wrong with it? does it not work properly? you don't like it? you found better? you don't understand it? [04:19] hey [04:19] Kalumba: Ubuntu really needs to apply the Debian fix [04:19] torshido: isn't it sun-java6-jre? or are you trying to go for an older version? [04:20] mssever, I agree [04:20] I need to manually download those packages from packages.ubuntu.com.... I dont have a Feisty at hand right now... I will install them on a classroom with no Internet access [04:20] torshido: ah, ok, lemme look [04:20] I love Amorok, It is probably one of my most frequently used programs [04:20] Greencookie: I need to download the debs [04:20] scguy318: thanks! [04:20] Jimdb: I guess something is wrong with it! cuz i always freezes up, i cant open it. [04:20] hi guys!, this is weird, i cannot play any video on any player even when nautilus recognize de video and makes a thumbail of it. When i open any video on any player i got some crazy stuff instead of the video, like color lines on a bad reception tv [04:20] torshido: Feisty, Dapper, Gutsy?

[04:20] i have 7.10, everythiong worked fine on 7.6 [04:21] greencookie: you tried other audo programs and don't have lock ups? [04:21] Greencookie, have you tried re-installing it? [04:21] is tehre a way to start the xserver in like safe mode from terminal? [04:21] Jimdb: I'm in love with Amarok I wanna re-install it. is there a command line version to do this? [04:21] my emerald has crashed :( [04:21] Greencookie: sudo apt-get install amarok --reinstall [04:21] greencookie: are other audio programs locking up? [04:21] Greencookie: sudo apt-get install amarok [04:21] Jimdb: I downloaded the ATI drivers but when I double click on it GEdit opens up saying there's a error [04:21] Greencookie: oh what torshido said [04:22] Greencookie: sudo apt-get install amorok [04:22] Greencookie: chmod +x it then run from terminal [04:22] *amarok? [04:22] how do you reconfigure x windows when you change video cards? [04:22] greencookie: you have to make it an executable. in windows programs with .exe are all executable. in linux any file can be flagged as an executable. [04:22] it no longer starts up [04:22] sam, correction noted (sometimes fingers move faster than my brain) [04:22] my bad [04:22] jayk-: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [04:23] torshido: it depends on debconf, java-common, locales, and sun-java5-bin [04:23] Jimdb: Can u help me make it executable? [04:23] torshido: those packages have their own dependencies [04:23] torshido: see http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libs/sun-java5-jre [04:23] Jimdb: the file name is ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run [04:23] Hmm, my e1000 NIC crashes when under heavy load, such as bittorrent. [04:23] scguy318: did you run the apt-get install command? or just read the dependencies in packages.ubuntu.com ?? [04:23] greencookie: at a terminal prompt just type sudo sh ati*.run [04:23] torshido: i read the page [04:23] can anyone suggest an application to use to resize my Vista NTFS partition? [04:23] When that happens, the only way to get the interface back is to reboot. [04:23] Jimdb: thnx [04:23] torshido: I'm not on Ubuntu right now unfortunately [04:23] Evanlec: disk manager. [04:24] Right-click "my computer" and select "manage" [04:24] DanaG, meaning gparted? [04:24] DanaG, no i meant from ubuntu [04:24] Evanlec: gparted live cd [04:24] Vista has its own on-the-fly resizer. [04:24] Evanlec You should be able to resize vista partion in vista itslef [04:24] Vista=of the gay [04:24] DanaG, yea and i used that, but it wouldnt let me reduce the partition size any lower than 130gb !

I need somebody to run the "apt-get install sun-java5-jre -s" command and tell me the exact packages, please [04:25] haha [04:25] hi [04:25] torshido: lemme fire up my laptop then [04:25] scguy318: you are the greatest! thanks [04:25] anyone knows how to install a tv card on feisty ? [04:25] mssever, This is it. I am going to shut it down. Wish me luck. [04:25] see you all, i'll be back on later to help if you need it [04:25] I made a 10 gig virtual machine using virtual box in fiesty, I upgraded to gutsy only to find out virtual box doesnt work on it. How do I uninstall it and insure that I erase the program AND the virtual machine? [04:25] Evanlec I had the same thing with my 160 gig vista only let me reduce by 40 gig so I just used that for my linux [04:25] Kalumba: OK. Hope it works [04:25] omegaweopon, im using virtualbox right now gutsy so thats incorrent... [04:26] I got rid of Windows Vista... [04:26] Jimdb: I just installed. I'm gonnna restart x. Be back. [04:26] omegaweopon: sudo apt-get remove virtualbox ?? [04:26] t3ch13, yea but that sucks!, i dont want vista eating up 80gb that it doesnt need [04:26] Gutsy runs amazingly well on my laptop. [04:26] Unfortuanately I have some stuff that requires windows and vista is better than XP [04:26] only reason i dont get rid of vista entirely is for games [04:26] mssever, it seems it did not work :( [04:27] Kalumba: Grr. [04:27] mssever, I am close to tears. This is driving me nuts! [04:27] t3ch13: vista is better than xp? please [04:27] torshido: no [04:27] Kalumba: It IS annoying. Maybe it would be good to take a break and come back to it later [04:27] torshido I have not had any problems with Vista [04:27] Anyone knows how to have desktop effects *and* window borders at the same time? [04:28] torshido, sure, in 10 years and after 4-5 service packs you'll be just 10% worse than XP [04:28] how do I fix the slow internet speed? Gutsy and ipv6 has been shut off [04:28] I did apt-get remove on virtualbox but I still have the 10 gtigs missing [04:28] If i do this >> sudo apt-get remove --purge ProgramName << would this remove the program completely, along with it depencies? [04:28] jmworx you have to load compiz and emerald at startup [04:28] Kalumba: I need to head to bed soon. Sorry I wasn't able to help you solve it. [04:28] mssever, I agree. *sigh* I feel like inviting someone to ssh into the sucker and take a look [04:28] omegaweopon, virtualbox does work on gutsy [04:28] omegaweopon: where did you create the image? [04:28] Hi everyone. I need help with a CUPS printer problem. I have a Kyocera laser printer connected via USB that has been working for a years. Suddenly CUPS can't detect it as a local printer any more via usb or parallel. Can anyone suggest why the local printer isn't be detected? Ubuntu 7.10. [04:28] timewriter: What do you mean by that exactly? [04:29] omegaweopon, but if u still want to delete it, the virtual disk image should be in ~/.VirtualBox (show hidden files in nautilus with ctrl+h) [04:29] Gaack, how do I fix my e1000? [04:29] vista has wgn/wga and 47 other programs that monitor and collect data on you and return it to microsoft. I sort of akin that to say having walmart come to your door every sunday to ask to go through your belongings to determine fi any of those are stolen. because microsoft does it with a hidden camera I don't see how it would be different t han say allowing walmart to do the same thing. [04:29] are you using emerald with compiz ? [04:29] timewriter: Using whatever comes with gusty [04:29] okay the new add printer applet is interesting. its not accepting my password when i change server settings ... anyone run into this? [04:29] Kalumba: Unfortunately, I doubt that that would work. I thing the needed information is only available after the network interface is torn down. But, maybe I'm wrong. [04:29] sudo apt-get install emerald [04:29] Evanlec: Sorry I mant to say "It doesnt work how I want it to work... hehehe. [04:30] omegaweopon, oh, ok, well then u have your answer [04:30] timewriter: Why isn't gusty installing that by default? Don't most people want to have window borders? [04:30] mssever, there is dmesg for starting a computer up. no such thing for shutdown? [04:30] i have no idea jmworx , im just a simple user [04:30] Kalumba: Not that I'm aware of [04:30] i didnt installed gutsy also [04:31] hi guys, ive got a bit of a problem enabling visual effects, when i check any of the options provided other than none, i get a message, it says composite extension is not avalable, what does that mean, and can it be fixed? this is after a semi fresh install [04:31] Im sorry but I have no clue where ~/.virtualbox is [04:31] Billies you have your graphic card drivers installed ? [04:31] Kalumba: Well, I need to go to bed. Hope you get this sorted eventually. [04:31] omegaweopon: I think VirtualBox images end in the extension .vdi [04:31] yea [04:31] the ATI ones [04:31] Billies, what video card are you using, which driver? [04:31] type fglrxinfo [04:31] mssever, thanks for all your assistance. I really appriciated it. [04:31] whats the output ? [04:31] mssever, sleep well [04:31] If i do this >> sudo apt-get remove --purge ProgramName << would this remove the program completely, along with it depencies? [04:31] timewriter: doesn't work [04:31] Kalumba: np. Thanks [04:31] Found em [04:31] jmworx why [04:32] omegaweopon: you could search your entire disk for this files with: find / -name "*.vdi" [04:32] ive got the ATI restricted ones installed, latest ones [04:32] has anyone else succesfully resized a vista ntfs boot/system partition in ubuntu? [04:32] Billies if the output is correct , then sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl [04:32] timewriter: I still get no borders, though it takes a bit longer for things to happen when I try to enable effects [04:32] Billies, what series card are you using? [04:32] Thanks guys, Now question number two. everytime I backspace too far in anything it gives me the annoyingly loud beep noises. How do I get rid of this? [04:32] ATI X1650 AGP, card itself is fine, runs all my games artifact free in windows [04:32] jmworx emerald --replace [04:33] Billies install xgl [04:33] will do [04:33] the xgl server [04:33] Billies are you using the Ubuntu provided driver or the driver from ATI? [04:33] don't the newest ati drivers have aiglx support [04:33] yes, the newest ones are supposed to [04:33] omegaweopon: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-turn-off-virtual-console-beep [04:33] Hmm, yeah, I forgot about xgl. My bad [04:33] :) [04:33] so happy i dont have to constantly restart the system every time i do something like this [04:33] Genefitx: yeah, the new and updated ones, the ones that were on my live disk were old [04:34] Billies , works now ? [04:34] downloadin [04:34] ok [04:34] What would run PCI Express? [04:34] graphic card AttractPay|Die [04:34] timewriter: emerald --replace doesn't do anything [04:34] omegaweopon: this one is easier: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/disable-the-system-beep-on-ubuntu-edgy/ [04:34] jmworx you have the emerald theme manager installed ? [04:35] thanks torshido [04:35] anyone running gutsy here and not able to add printer because pass is not accepted for localhost? [04:35] can someone tell me what Ubuntu Gutsy is ? [04:35] not my computer:( old barton should have died ages ago, thanks a lot guys, guess i gotta relogin for this to take effect [04:35] ok [04:35] :) [04:35] I assume it's the next version, but it isn't listed on the site [04:35] Samus_Aran , Ubuntu Gutsy is the latest Ubuntu release [04:35] old bartons are good [04:35] timewriter: It's installed [04:35] Samus_Aran, Gutsy is the latest distro if the Ubuntu Linux Operating System. [04:35] Samus_Aran: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon [04:36] how do I figure out which version I am on ? I've done a few distupgrades now and can't recall what I'm on [04:36] mine still plays Battlefield 2142 pretty nicley, but my friends almost identical system, cept he has a pent 4 with HT overpowers mine [04:36] Samus_Aran: is the codename for Ubuntu 7.10 [04:36] I think I'm on Feisty Fawn, but I thought I updated to 7.10 .. [04:36] Samus_Aran: do a "cat /etc/issue" [04:36] ill be back in a bit if something goes wrong, helpful place [04:36] jmworx you did something wrong [04:36] torshido: /etc/issue is a custom file on my system [04:36] emerald + compiz fusion are working perfect for me [04:37] timewriter: i typed "emerald --replace". There isn't much that can go wrong with that. [04:37] im removed emerald tho , because its a bit too much [04:37] timewriter: I was surprised that Ubuntu stopped using /etc/debian_version, but did not add a /etc/ubuntu_version [04:37] Samus_Aran: hummmm, then I have no idea, anybody? [04:37] jmworx type emerald --help [04:37] I have a windows vista fileshare that has random files like spreadsheets on it. And I'm trying to access this fileshare with gutsy gibbon. But for some odd reason, it affects ubuntu when saving files, or browsing directories. Does anyone know a workaround? [04:37] whats the output ? [04:37] timewriter: emerald [--replace] [--help] [--version] [04:37] so its there [04:38] you need libemeraldengine0 and emerald-themes too [04:38] do you have them ? [04:38] hi all [04:38] jmworx: find and download this: fusion-icon_1.0-1_i386.deb [04:38] timewriter: Yes. The process is there. It just doesn't do anything. I've got libemeraldengine0 and emerald-themes as well [04:38] it works! thanks whoever provided the solution! its so jello like, haha [04:38] apt-get distupgrade only shows me the files that show up for apt-get upgrade [04:39] haha [04:39] and are you using compiz ? [04:39] Jimdb: what the hell is that? [04:39] nerdefilr, the only issue I had in file share between Vista and Ubuntu was the workgroup names under samba. I had to install Samba config to change the workgroup name to "workgroup" vice "mshome" [04:39] timewriter: I'm not using anything at the moment because nothing works [04:39] draging these windows has never been so much fun, they stretch and jiggle, haha, thanks a ton guys [04:39] After that, I was able to share and share alike between the systems [04:39] I tried a GIMP 2.4.0 package from GetDeb for Gutsy (there was none for Feisty) and it didn't work, lots of dep issues. can Feisty not be upgraded to Gutsy using apt-get dist-upgrade ? [04:39] jmworx: it will provide a systray icon where you can more easily access the configuration for emerald, compiz, or the native metacity [04:39] Billies: heh [04:40] well [04:40] Hey Jimdb [04:40] jmworx: i start with that as a session. [04:40] i guess emerald wont run without compiz [04:40] Jimdb: no use since it doesn't actually start! [04:40] Jimdb: what was the command to run the ati driver package from the terminal? sudo sh ati? [04:40] haha, playin with those windows showed me a new way to move em around, im gonna go, windows need shakin, thanks [04:40] jmworx: the decorations or compiz [04:40] greencookie: sudo sh ati*.run [04:40] scguy318: any news? [04:40] I don't use the visual effects. I guess I am old fahsnoned. [04:40] timewriter: BTW, "compiz --replace" tells me that "Checking for Xgl: not present" even though I'm enabling it [04:41] sudo bash ati-driver-whatever.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/yourversion [04:41] jmworx told you [04:41] genefitz: before you did that, did you have access to the fileshare? [04:41] Hi everybody! A newcomer here. Need some help. [04:41] emerald wont run without compiz [04:41] What is the reason for the name 'dev' of the (pseudo) file /proc/net/dev? man netstat: "device information". I cannot detect any 'device information' in it. [04:41] timewriter: you told me what? [04:41] genefitz: I have access to the fileshare after authenticating, but problems come up when saving, or browsing. [04:41] genefitz: sometimes loads files, other times dies. [04:42] netdefilr, I installed samba config, then under settings, changed the workfroup name. Viola! everything picked everyting up [04:42] so im having some trouble getting ubuntu to recognize my other 2 hdds. I got into the disk usage analyzer and it shows me having 70 or so gb but i have 3 80 gb hdds connected. they are all ata. when i use the gnome partition editor it detects them, and they are formated as ext3. so my question is there a way to get the filesystem to recognize them? like all 3 at the same time? [04:42] voila even. [04:42] Please don't check my spelling. [04:42] jmworx , in order to get your emerald working , you need to install compiz [04:42] Seriously, how many cards are there that actually work with desktop effects? Can't be more than one or two... [04:42] there are many cards [04:42] genefitz: is the package samba-config? [04:42] timewriter: compiz *is* installed. Otherwise, it wouldn't print an error message! [04:42] so you have 3d desktop effects ? === Linux_ is now known as a[2121]e [04:42] jmworx: he means it isn't functioning [04:43] netdefilr: hold on, and I will get you the source I used === grunch is now known as [GruncH] [04:43] Does anybody know why the run application dialog (ALT + F2) is so slow in gutsy? [04:43] genefitz: bad ass thanks. [04:43] timewriter: "compiz installed" != "compiz working" [04:43] zoltan: all hdds have a single partition? [04:43] Hum.. I installed ubuntu studio manager from synaptic package manager. It was 300mb+ when I innstalled it.. and now when I click on the uninstall its 32kb.. do I have to uninstall all the apps that was included one by one? [04:43] ya [04:43] then why it says you have no xgl present ? [04:44] zoltan you able to write down the device names of the 2 additional drives? [04:44] loony: autoremove [04:44] CompUSA's got 500GB drives for $99.99... I'm gonna go get a couple [04:44] remember --purge [04:44] Help! [04:44] and in the end [04:44] timewriter: Well you tell me. This shit is broken (differently) on every single machine I've tried. [04:44] and when you are done... autocleen [04:44] sjovan: where? [04:44] and when you are done... autoclean* [04:44] aka set disklabel? [04:44] well , i wish ill be able to tell you so many things :) [04:44] sjovan: complete noob here :) [04:44] BUT [04:45] loony: apt-get autoremove --purge [04:45] I can't set my resolution to higher than 800x600. Its killing my eyes:( [04:45] when it's done === Som_Gye is now known as Abmnruxs [04:45] if its not working on every machine you tried , maybe you are doing something wrong [04:45] you do a apt-get autoclean [04:45] greencookie: did those drivers install? [04:45] it worked for me [04:45] Jimdb: I guess so, cuz when I do lspci i get the following [04:45] and im using radeon also [04:45] X1950XT [04:45] pretty dodgy [04:45] Jimdb: ATI Technologies Inc RV516 [Radeon X1300/X155 [04:46] Does anyone know how to get the trackpoint on a thinkpad working good? I have the app to configure it, but it doesn' [04:46] t automatically keep the settings after reboot [04:46] Does anybody know why the run application dialog (ALT + F2) is so slow in gutsy? [04:46] sjovan: hum.. thats abit over my head.. I installed ubuntu yeasterday.. havent used linux in 7 years.. [04:47] timewriter: Installed Gusty with fresh install. Machine hangs. Upgrade on another machine. No borders out of the box. Eventually got them to work but half the plugins don't work. Third machine is this one, nothing works. And it's not like it's the first distro I installed. This is just a POS [04:47] :) [04:47] i see .. [04:47] like what kind of devices they are? they are labeled like hdc and hdd [04:47] zoltan: when you select each device in gparted on the right side of the screen it lists the device name, such as /dev/hdb or /dev/hdc, etc [04:47] i dunno what happened to hdb [04:47] xoxo2723, pops up right away for me. [04:47] im using Feisty [04:47] loony: is it a install trough apt-get? [04:47] compiz + emerald working [04:48] and it worked on Gutsy too [04:48] sjovan: I used the thingy in xfce [04:48] anyone having problems with adding printers in gutsy? its not accepting my password? [04:48] more simple in gutsy [04:48] synaptick package manager [04:48] just needed to install xserver-xgl [04:48] never mind even that, it shouldn't even ask for a password. anyone know what the fix is for this? [04:48] timewriter: Then you must have one of the... one card supported I guess [04:48] zoltan: i'm asking you to write them down so you can refer to the device names later [04:48] ooo [04:48] ok, done [04:48] jmworx x1950xt was not supported 1 month ago [04:48] loony: that's the same as useing apt-get, but you do it the har GUI way :) [04:48] zoltan: what are they? [04:48] i didnt thought it will work [04:48] How do i reconfigure X to default settings? [04:49] loony: go to the terminal and do it my way instead :) [04:49] hda (one that works) hdc and hdd [04:49] hi all, my friend forgot his user name and password, how to recover them?

[05:02] loony: k, then you need to put down the specs! computer name and specialy the name of the soundcard [05:02] do not leave a ms workgroup as mshome. ever. [05:02] Past that, if you have filr sharing on in your windows box, and your firewall set to permit it, it will work [05:02] how els could someone help you out? [05:02] genefitz: gotcha. I think vistas setup to workgroup, could be wrong. [05:02] sjovan: true true [05:02] netdefilr, vista auto defaults to "workgroup" [05:03] Jimdb: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42537/ is my lspci. [05:03] sjovan: havent been a "nerd" in years :) [05:03] hey [05:03] Jimdb: whats the command to give at the terminal? so I can configure my ati card. Is it aticonfig? [05:03] genefitz: awesome, fixes one of my last issues with ubuntu :) [05:03] oh i had porn running [05:03] genefitz: thanks [05:03] I have all my computers networked to "workgroup" But if you change Vista's workgroup to "Mshome" it will pick up and see all your computers [05:03] loony: but any ways... can't help you out. don't even know what a pcmcia is :P [05:03] greencookie: i don't know the name of the executable for the cat control center for ati, but if you execute that command at a terminal prompt it should tell youa message as to why it won't load the cat control center. [05:03] later! [05:04] aticontrol [05:04] oops [05:04] netdefilr, sorry I couldn't find that article for you..

I read somewhere on the "Ubuntu Features" page that there's an option to have the hard drive be encrypted in real time [05:04] I have installed xubuntu 7.10 and openoffice, but when i open openoffice writer its blank, i suspect its a java issue but i cant get it to work. [05:04] but I can't figure out how to do it (or now that I'm looking, where it says that) [05:04] loony: aaaa. okay, now i'm with you. so what is the name of you card? [05:05] and the name of your computer [05:05] sjovan: echo indigo i/o [05:05] genefitz: it's actually a completely different workgroup name all together [05:05] fujitsu siemens c1320D [05:05] any one go dual head working with compiz-fusion on ati under gusty gibbon yet? [05:05] genefitz: but tomorrow i'll test this out. thanks again. [05:05] How do I remove amarok from synaptic manager? [05:05] this ext2 volume manager thing for vista is so useless [05:06] why not just use add/remove? [05:06] loony: what...? is the name of the sound-card echo indigo i/o? [05:06] netfefilr, here it is, http://www.ubuntutux.org/change-workgroup-in-ubuntu-7-04 [05:06] Greencookie: apt-get remove --purge amarok [05:06] SamFisher47: cuz It doesnt allow me to, it says one or more things are dependant on amarok [05:07] oh right [05:07] greencookie: then you force... [05:07] apt-get remove -f [05:07] Greencookie: in that case use --purge from apt-get [05:07] sjovan: yepp.. :) added it with url on the forum now [05:07] Oh hey, what are the default permissions on /tmp? [05:07] dual head? ati? gusty gibbon? please? [05:07] I accidentally rm'd it. [05:07] or as sjovan said [05:07] kk [05:07] Zippy2: thanks a lot. I'm purging:) [05:07] hi, i just came in and asked about my computer running super slow, and tried rebooting competly. the issue still exists [05:07] hello!

[05:08] how do i install "django" on an ubuntu linux server? [05:08] yup [05:08] I'm running a LiveCD, trying to get access to some files with sudo chown -R default:default /path/to/directory, which I do not have read permissions for [05:09] and they are recognized by the disk usage utility [05:09] zoltan: great, did you learn something?

[05:09] which each need a directory right? [05:09] It thorws "invalid user" at me... what's the default user value, or how can I assign the folder to global read/write? [05:09] what did the chmod 777 do? [05:09] zoltan: the /media folder simply is where you mount stuff that you want on your dsktop as an icon [05:09] oh [05:10] simple question - how to change brightness on crt monitor with nvidia card? [05:10] zoltan: chmod 777 gave everyone permissions to write to those folders [05:10] hi [05:10] ahh so all the users could use them [05:10] michael_: CRT monitors usually have some menu bottons on the front of them to control such things. [05:10] zoltan: so, yes a regular user can read/write to the partition [05:10] Oh hey, what are the default permissions on /tmp? [05:11] how would i go about limiting who can write to where? [05:11] zoltan: technically read/write to the file system on teh partition. [05:11] DanaG: drwxrwxrwt for /tmp [05:11] i am roooooooooooooooooot [05:11] what is the difference between .ttc and .ttf fonts? [05:11] :) [05:11] zoltan: you going to have multiple users on your computers? [05:11] i must have dual head in gusty [05:12] I'm running a LiveCD, trying to get access to some files with sudo chown -R default:default /path/to/directory, which I do not have read permissions for / ownership. [05:12] It throws "invalid user" at me... what's the default user value, or how can I assign the folder to global read/write/ownership? [05:12] does anybody know how to import music from an ipod with rhythmbox? [05:12] loony: have you activated pm? [05:12] how can I get a list of applications added to a machine since the base install? [05:12] well i am trying to eventually set up a server connected via a static ip for my classmates and myself to use to back up our data [05:12] BLLZ: use Floola is way better and portable for ipod [05:12] * DeVilSoulBlacK se despide de TODOS [05:12] aah, 1777 [05:12] Bonster, is it a music manager too? [05:12] zoltan; that's much more involved. you may want to spend some time learning about linux permissions and security. [05:12] yep [05:12] but i realize i have a lot to learn before i can do that on my own [05:13] ya [05:13] im pleeding with the deciples of the divine benevalent pingin god! [05:13] Zylogue try opening synaptic and choosing create package download script [05:13] u put it inside ur ipod and use on any PC [05:13] BLLZ, Floola is a great program [05:13] tonyy: this is not a solution. I found xgamma command and i miss xbrightness and xcontrast [05:13] works on windows and linux [05:13] zoltan: at least you used the ext3 file system :) [05:13] grant me dual head oh great and worshipfull pinguin! [05:13] hey, i did some research [05:13] :) [05:13] michael_: hrm? [05:13] how do i install "django" on an ubuntu linux server? [05:13] Wow, I have this odd dir in my root: "pecial known tag which is se" [05:13] Tiago: just search for an xorg.conf file on google with a dualhead seutp for your vid card and config [05:13] What app should I use to create another partition in the free space on my disk? [05:14] elninja_: gparted [05:14] tonyyarusso, thanks! [05:14] Bonster, not tomention, it allows you tt backop the iPod on disk, that way of something happens, you crash your music drive, you can get it all back from the iPod. [05:14] sjovan: did you get the pm? [05:14] That, I think is the greatest thing about it.. [05:14] how do i install "django" on an ubuntu linux server? [05:14] Any h/s students here interested in helping promote Ubuntu and LoCo teams in their schools? [05:14] Zylogue: if you choose settings then search filter it will display a list of all things you have installed so far [05:14] genefitz: yea way better then crappy itunes [05:14] I wish to compile a kernel. I have downloaded the kernel source, bunziped it. I want to copy my current kernel configuration into the source tree. Where can I find my currently running kernel configuration? I have checked the /boot directory, it is empty. [05:15] Excellent! Thanks fo rthe info! [05:15] * DanaG likes Amarok. [05:15] Bonster, I haven't used iTunes in like forever now.. [05:15] how do I open the irc status window in pidgin? [05:15] jimmy-nokernel: your probably not wanting to use Ubuntu for that [05:15] * Greencookie just purged Amarok. [05:15] *you're [05:15] It is better, and much faster. it has much more options. [05:15] Genetics: only used to unlock the HD mode for my ipod that was it [05:15] Nothing else gives me folder views and works reliably. [05:15] loony: how do you access irc via pidgin? [05:15] i need to install the toshiba_acpi module for fnfx.sourceforge.net [05:15] Quodlibet gives folder views, but doesn't work reliably. [05:15] Greencookie, try to install it again, see if it works. [05:16] greencookie: add account and then irc [05:16] loony: thnx [05:16] np :) [05:16] then click on Add chat [05:16] how can I set ownership to me, the person running a live CD? [05:16] genefitz: wow there are so many alternatives when it comes to music player:) hehe just realized when I was installing. [05:16] and paste in ur channel [05:16] loony: do you want help with the sound card? get pm's working... [05:16] probably the first and last time in a while that I'm beeing helpfull in here :D [05:17] sjovan: yeah.. but how do I open the status window in pidgin? [05:17] Greencookie, I am so partial to Amarok though. I love the layout of it. [05:17] can ayone help me on the procedure to install django on ubuntu? [05:17] Personal prefrence though [05:17] loony: click on available again [05:17] Anyone in here have a Dell M90 Laptop ? [05:18] loony: i have no ide :P [05:18] loony: i can finde the faq for you [05:18] Tonight has been very productive, honestly, I have decreased by boot time, installed a better ATI driver, and a few other things.. [05:18] which players play mms streaming? [05:18] I need to have a notepad beside my computer when I am in here.. [05:18] genfitz: why? [05:19] Woot! IRC thru pidgin! what's the benefit?:) hehe [05:19] how do i disable sound in azureus/vuze ? i'm in linux and i would like to run vuze 24/7 but it ties up the soundcard. [05:19] sjovan, never hurts to take notes :-) [05:19] gerro, I have created an empty list. I'm not understanding why the filter is not creating the install list [05:19] configuring something in a compile and it's telling me it can't find my x includes - what package should i get for these? xorg-dev? x headers? [05:19] lol vista has symlinks and it calls it "JUNCTIONS" [05:19] loony: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#registering [05:20] 11/02/2006 09:02 AM Documents and Settings [C:\Users] [05:20] gerro, do I need to mark them for reinstall before the script will actually generate? [05:20] anyone know how I activate PM in pidgin? [05:20] loony ctrl+m [05:20] loony: i gave you a link [05:20] loony: it's not pidgin... it's this server [05:21] how can I enter a path with spaces in it to the terminal? What is the terminal equivelant of a space? [05:21] sjovan: aah sorry.. I tried to disconnect to bring up the status so its gone.. can u send it again? [05:21] http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#registering [05:21] the spaces in my folder names are confusing the terminal [05:21] leave spaces in, put quotes around it [05:21] damn this Anarock OSD is annoying [05:22] I got a question [05:22] spankdidly: so ask it... [05:22] crap. I need ownership of a folder to copy it, but I can't chown because im using a live cd.. how do I give myself ownership of the folder? [05:22] loony: Pidgin Irc is great. Thank you. [05:22] I need to install ubuntu on multiple laptops with the same software from the repos. Is there an easy way to do this? [05:22] it's spitting invalid user at me' [05:23] space maybe %20 [05:23] Ltar: you don't need ownership to copy a folder. have you tryed sudo? [05:23] how do i copy filed in a folder in ubuntu? [05:23] sudo cp [05:24] for the folder and every subfolder you need R flag [05:24] mm [05:24] or you could use a gui [05:24] spankdidly: technically you could make one messy script to do it all [05:24] gui = blah === loony is now known as bloony [05:24] Bonster: you can turn off the osd [05:24] Ah ok [05:24] spankdidly: tar everything, dd if=/dev/hda of=mbr count=1 bs=512b and untar and dd if=mbr [05:25] gui = yay its no longer the 1980's [05:25] hydrogen: kinnda wanna make it small in a corner like rythmbox [05:25] actually i want to copy the django filed in python folder and it denies me permissions! [05:25] you could also use symantec ghost or ghost4linux (symantec might screw it up if you dont do sector-for-setor because of grub) [05:25] Bonster: you can configure it some, settings->configure amarok, osd [05:25] godbless: did you sudo? [05:25] how do i go about to copy that django thing on the python folder in ubuntu? [05:25] or you could do a jumpstart type thing, which is probably too complicated for you [05:25] hydrogen: yea but it always centers [05:26] anyone using pidin im-history plugin here? [05:26] yep [05:26] godbless: sudo cp /location/sublocation/file /location/ [05:26] pidgin logs [05:26] Bonster, no, not the pidgin logs. [05:26] is there a way i can save an epiphany session that keeps crashing it? if i know what window is causing it? [05:27] Bonster, it is another plugin http://www.im-history.com/ [05:27] vegpuff: whats the difference then? [05:27] doesnt it log ur chats? [05:27] Bonster, it stores the log in the web. not in your local box [05:27] pidgin is the gayest instant messenger ever [05:27] and its bugged too [05:27] timewriter, heh. why so? [05:27] vegpuff: oh thats no cool then [05:27] timewriter: you love it also ? :) [05:28] lol [05:28] sponix, rofl1 [05:28] yeah, i did sudo! [05:28] but the reply was "svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/django/trunk'svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/django/trunk': 200 OK (http://code.djangoproject.com)" [05:28] I think the little pidgin is cute, thats all that matters ! [05:28] Funny with the "gui=yay its no longer the 80's" I am still a stickler to the terminal when it comes to installing programs. I know there is synaptics and even the "add/remove" but I feel more confident in the "sudo apt-get" process.. [05:28] yeah , little purple pidgeon [05:28] !webmin [05:28] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system [05:28] pidgin looks better than gaim, [05:28] i dont have it on my gnome [05:28] Old dogs and new tricks, I reckon [05:28] i dont want it [05:29] pidgin and gaim are the same [05:29] they arent [05:29] gaim is more stable [05:29] and is not gay [05:29] :)) [05:29] they only change names loLS [05:29] loL [05:29] is there any easy way to find what command some of the menu options run? [05:30] same people [05:30] no they changed more than that [05:30] scragar: Yeah, the menu editor will show them. [05:30] timewriter: sure its not your box, I've _never_ had pidgin crash on me, and I've left it up for weeks [05:30] scragar: can you be more spesific? [05:30] scragar: (right-click > edit menus) [05:30] I still haven't figured out how to set up GAIM or Pidgin for AIM. Yahoo and MSN work great with it, but AIM never works for me.. [05:30] hehe [05:30] i didnt gave him time to crash [05:30] genefitz: works fine here - what's happening on your end? [05:30] I think it may be a faulty operator though...lol [05:30] i removed it when i the first 5 seconds after ive seen it [05:31] genfitz: well AIM sucks teh balls, so who cares :P [05:31] Tony, it won't verify on the AOL side [05:31] doesn't matter now, the menu editor will be fine for what I want to do. [05:31] genefitz: u gotta put in the right proxy settings i believe under the AIm setting [05:31] genefitz: like, authentication is rejected? [05:31] Tony, yes. Which is the right proxy setting? [05:31] whats a good OS X like Dock for Linux? [05:32] maniaxmax, avant [05:32] server: login.messaging.aol.com port: 5190 [05:32] and xchat is bugged also [05:32] genefitz: In my case, none. [05:32] the 2.8.* [05:32] mrj: how do i get avant [05:32] excuse me, can someone show me how to autologin under Ubuntu Server Gutsy? [05:33] is there a way i can save an epiphany session that keeps crashing it? if i know what window is causing it? [05:33] I am having Wine issues [05:33] kanjo: Erm, I don't know that you can in a server configuration actually. Could be wrong. [05:33] Tony, I guess I will have to chew on my foot fo a minute.. It just worked. [05:33] it's under one of the login window options in system>login Window [05:33] <~~ feels like a nymnut now [05:33] dont use wine [05:33] try crossover office [05:33] tonyyarusso: i reckon u wrong [05:34] office2007 [05:34] or better dont use windows emulators [05:34] best of the best [05:34] kanjo: 'k. At the very least the server guys would look at you funny. :P [05:34] Ok my REAL issue. I tried and tried, found a fewe good guides, to get a Epsxe working and it wont work! [05:35] PSX1 Emu? [05:35] linux is for ppl who have nothing better to do [05:35] anybody know where i can get Avant Window Navigator? [05:35] ha [05:35] linux is for people who want a proper computing experience [05:35] maniaxmax [05:35] getdeb.net [05:36] Linux is for people who dont like feeling like they cant access half their computer [05:36] linux is for people who like their computer to do what they want, not what a money hungry company says [05:36] linux is for cheap ppl like me [05:36] haha that too [05:37] like, today compile kernel, tommoror tweak nvidia or ati.. crossover office... boring... [05:37] Hey, linux is great, it is all about prefrence. I call it the power of choice. [05:37] linux is for cutting/bleeding edge people like me. :) [05:37] Linux is for people who dont like feeling like they cant access half their computer [05:37] I have to admit, cost was a big selling point for me as well, why pay for windows when ubuntu's quicker, easier and more fun? [05:37] I don't say it is any better (other than price), but it is the choice that it offers that I love. [05:37] that makes no sense with the state of driver support [05:37] go use vista then [05:37] linux is like wanting free sex [05:38] sjovan: I've done the "set unfiltered on" but I still get a error when I try to write to you; Message could not be sent because an error with the switchboard occurred: [05:38] vista is horrible [05:38] lol [05:38] Great turn of events here in the last couple years though, makes me glad. The hardware manufacturers are starting to take us Linux users seriously. [05:38] Mostly due to the increasing popularity of Ubuntu. [05:38] vista is a psychological conspiration [05:38] against all consumers [05:38] This conversation would be better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic - let's keep this particular channel support-questions only. [05:39] O KE [05:39] linux usage up, windows usage down. all for the best. [05:39] how do I see a list of modules? [05:39] lsmod [05:39] I can't connect to my wireless access point using ubuntu... it may be due the wep settings??? I KNOW the pw but is there a way to change from a 128-bit encryption to 64 ? I think that is why my pw wont work [05:39] Can anyone help me get psxe working? Pm me if you know what you are doing with it [05:39] anyone know what this msg in PM means? Message could not be sent because an error with the switchboard occurred: [05:39] Didnt OSX lepord got the compiz cube now? [05:39] cat /proc/modules [05:39] no ideea , they have it ? [05:40] Here's a decent question. Has anyone tried installing different window managers on their Ubuntu install? [05:40] does anyone know of any resolution GUIs? [05:40] I tried installing fluxbox, and couldn't get any menus [05:40] SochBAT: system > screen [05:40] badkitty: You might need Windows driver for your Wifi [05:40] genefitz what do you mean ? [05:40] badkitty: Use ndiswrapper to load Windows Wifi driver [05:40] qcode: blasphemy [05:41] sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [05:41] I'm having issues installing a package, can somene help me? (libssl0.9.6) [05:41] quick question, whats the name of the app (and possibly the console command to get it) that records your desktop like fraps for games? its supposed to be an extended version of the screenshot app ubuntu came with [05:41] 0.9.6??? [05:41] are you kidding me? [05:41] yes [05:41] kousotu: what is the issue ? [05:41] no [05:41] I know you can change the res. there, but adding resolutions is waht i'm talking about. [05:41] glxgears ? [05:41] do you know how old that is? [05:41] I can't get it to install [05:41] timeweiter, I did a sudo apt-get install fluxbox, but when I sessioned into fluxbox, I had no minus under my left or right mouse button.. [05:41] Zippy2: I need it for ymessenger [05:42] menus even [05:42] darn my typos [05:42] i wouldnt use it if it used 0.9.6 [05:42] !fluxbox [05:42] fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox [05:42] What's the default username/password for webmin? [05:42] What's the default username/password for webmin? [05:42] !openbox [05:42] openbox is a lightweight window manager. For instructions and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox. To replace metacity with Openbox please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReplaceMetacityWithOpenbox [05:42] qcode: never liked ndiswrapper... it finds the wireless access point just fine, but the pw I use won't work. In my router it is 64 bit encryption ( I think so the WI can connect) but Im guessing that ubuntu is trying to send my pw in 128 instead of 64 [05:42] I need the package, can someone kindly point me to it? [05:42] my apache service is running in my server but i can't open it ex: 192.168.1.1 (my server address) I open from another computer, there is a checklist first before for running apache? [05:42] wth i dont even understand the descrition [05:43] kousotu: search google [05:43] afk [05:43] or a way to ghost the currennt one to be seen as 0.9.6 [05:43] anyone know what that recording app is? it makes an AVI of your desktop actions, for making tutorials and stuff like that [05:43] gtk-desktop-record [05:43] or gtk-record-desktop [05:43] one or the other [05:43] That's why, I didn't go through the whole process with the "generate menu" [05:43] windows deleted the MBR of my ubuntu partition what do i do!? [05:43] kousotu: just ditch ymessenger, use pidgen for Yahoo messenger [05:44] coreymanshack: reinstall grub [05:44] Stand by while I kick myself in the head....lol [05:44] so sudo apt-get gtk-desktop-record?

[05:57] bluto20: Exaile, Banshee, and Amarok are worth a look.

[05:57] I just opened the Disk Usage Analyzer, and 20GB of my storage is going to tracker. Why? And how do I turn the useless thing off? [05:57] I don't know if it will get noticed [05:58] chino county i think, on the edge of it [05:58] CubeXombi: I am still trying to understan why the Ubuntu developers used that, I am sure they had to see the load lag in it.. [05:58] do u know the weight so i can check shipping prices?? [05:58] im in east texas [05:58] so it shouldnt be too much [05:58] ;) [05:58] for all your shopping needs, go to your local Best Buy! [05:58] its not too heavy, i dont think it would cost much [05:59] ubuntu-j: you could mention it in #ubuntu-devel (*nicely*) [05:59] ok [05:59] but you arent gonna be running any 8800 GTSes on it, only 1 P4 [05:59] I'll do that [05:59] thanks [05:59] alright well im not registered on freenode... hit me up on laeta.zoite.net for an address and we will talk about payment [05:59] genefitz, I'm not so sure, I've gotten other machines to work great.. just my laptop, and from what it seems people with less than a 17" lcd (most with ati cards) [05:59] ;) [05:59] hell i wont even be runnin a p4 [05:59] lol [05:59] ;) [06:00] im using an AMD 2000+ [06:00] Does anyone know why Tracker has used 20GB for cache, and how I can turn the POS off? [06:00] what file controls the default groups a new user is added to? [06:00] sempron i believe [06:00] P4 power connector, most mobos use P4 for the CPU i think [06:00] CubeXombi, that would probably be it. I am running a notebook with a 15" widescreen, and an ATI card [06:00] btw #antisocial [06:00] umm [06:00] i dont know how to work this client [06:00] genefitz yup, last person i saw was laptop Radeon Xpress and 14.1' [06:00] and i have a very basic understanding on how IRC works [06:00] shit... u use myspace?

[06:01] CubeXombi, but ya know this notebook has been the best investment for linux. I have the $350 gateway computer. Celeron 1.6, X200M, and 80Gig hard drive. [06:02] all i see are music players [06:02] i'm trying to install from the livecd and use an empty partition i made in windows, but the installation partition program fails when it tries to resize [06:02] The sigmatel audio card was a pain to set-up, but it is perfect for Linux. [06:02] Stupid question, how do I run a program from the terminal? [06:02] omegaweopon: just type its name [06:03] info pirate, you have MSN live or yahoo messenger accounts? [06:03] is LVM better than the ubuntu partitioner [06:03] genefitz: yeah roughly the same specs here though I;ve got an older radeon mobilitiy [06:03] So guys...I'm really curious if AOL will work under WINE? [06:03] msn - royhodge2006@hotmail.com [06:03] And yes, I'm being serious. [06:04] good question and you're probably the only person who wants do to that [06:04] im sure it will, after enough debugging... :( [06:04] yes I realize I am [06:04] Ok heres another question, I has a tar file how do I use it to install something? [06:04] But hey, whatever tickles my toes eh? [06:04] haha no one gives u an asnwer? [06:04] thats sickening thinkin of AOL on ubuntu os [06:04] anyone here using Resier4 ?? [06:04] ;O [06:04] CubeXombi, it is nice being able to use a lower grade computer and make it run well. I mean this thing with Linux runs better than my 64X2 (5200+) vista machine. [06:04] any one know how to set up dual head under gusty for ati driver? [06:04] i sent the add request, did ya get it? [06:05] AOL4Wine, i agree that is a rather disgusting notion [06:05] Well, if you had grandparents who paid for AOL but don't need too, and are too stubborn to switch to Internet Explorer, and you are going to put Ubuntu on their machine... [06:05] dunno i dont have msn messenger on this box yet... lol gonna have to check it out tomorrow... but if u added me then i will email u about it [06:05] lol [06:05] thnx dude [06:05] genefitz, i hear ya! my POS laptop isn't allowed to die on me.... speaking of which.. [06:05] id slap my grandpa and tell him to pay less for better service [06:05] ;) [06:05] can we post links in here or no? [06:05] and my grandma would drop her jaw and bslap me [06:05] lol [06:05] lol CubeXombi [06:05] Lol see, you know how it is [06:06] So do you know if it's possible? [06:06] infopirate, your running ubuntu right? [06:06] have any of you even looked at aol's logo? you might as well be running fbi carnivour web browser [06:06] Anyone got an idea on how to stop my cdorm from trying to look for a disk after initializing the driver? I've got a drive that "malfunctions" by ALWAYS looking for a disk [06:06] AOL4Wine, just give them firefox and make aol.com the home page ;) [06:06] not on the box im talking to u from [06:06] but right beside it i am [06:06] oh [06:06] AOL4Wine, you could do it in vmware [06:06] lol for real [06:06] i agree with astro [06:06] ;) [06:06] Well the homepage idea is good, but VMWare won't work. [06:06] AOL4Wine, I have read in blogs that you can run AOL undr an emulator. I tried it once. it got pretty nasty though... [06:06] How do you access the advanced partitioner [06:06] They're not smart enough to figure it out [06:06] what is the difference in gksudo and sudo? [06:07] a g and a k [06:07] !gksu | coreymanshack [06:07] coreymanshack: 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 === eazyass is now known as analysisnewb [06:07] Im almost about to give up... I just wanted to play my psx games while my brother hogs up my Ps2 :'( [06:07] thx astro76 [06:07] !g gksudo sudo [06:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about g gksudo sudo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:08] omegaweopon you need an emulator and a rom or 2 [06:08] infopirate, its only got 4 molex connectors, a floppy one, a p4, and the motherboard power connector and a little 4 pin socket connector for larger motherboards [06:09] I have the bios, I have the actuall cds and Iso backups. I haver the emulators, I have the plugins, it wont work! arrrgh [06:09] AOL, I tried setting up AOL in linux, so I could see about setting it up on a freespire computer for my father. It was a real mess though. [06:09] I have seen that it can be done, but I liked to pull out what little hair I have trying to do it. [06:09] can someone assist me in stopping my cdrom from seeking all the time it's driving me nuts [06:10] CubeXombi, CDrom seeking? [06:11] eject it [06:11] genefitz>yeah it's defective.. an actual hardware issue. It works great when there's a disc in the drive but otherwise it will continuously seach for a disk when the drive is closed.. it's killing my battery and on top of that it's slowing my boot time [06:12] what harm can be done for inserting a disk upside down? other than the disk not being read? [06:12] CubeXombi, ouch. My old HP used to do that, it literally cut my battery time in half. [06:12] no harm Billies [06:12] oh [06:13] why not put a disk in upside down? [06:13] genefitz so you see why i would like it stopped.. I imagine i can find something in my init scripts. [06:13] theres a disk there, it just cant read it [06:13] wonder if that would fix it [06:13] anyone here using Resier4 ?? [06:13] Hi all, i am helping my friend install gutsy on a vista laptop... but i used the partition editor in Ubuntu to resiza the partitions...is that ok... i already start the process.... [06:13] why not keep the disk out ? [06:13] or i fit would just register as empty [06:13] because it keeps searching for a disk i think [06:13] Cube, can you tun off auto-mount on your CDrom? And just mount it manually from terminal? [06:13] elfgoh its ok. [06:13] I juz read that vista has it s own native editor [06:13] I know it would be a pain in the rear, but it can be done. [06:13] Hi, I'm connecting from Windows to my Linux machine thru Samba and I'm asked for a username and password but don't know which one to provide... [06:14] my linux user account does not work [06:14] hey i need help on openoffice [06:14] elfgoh: I would reccomend you use Ubuntu's [06:14] are you using caps in your username? [06:14] elfgoh: the vista one has issues [06:14] CubeXombi, You can remobe the CDrom from your fstab, then re-enter it when you may use it. [06:14] Billies, no [06:14] hmm [06:14] tks for the advice! [06:14] I know it is a lot of gedit work, but I know it can be done [06:14] axel u have to set up each computer to send and to recieve [06:14] remove even [06:14] Juz that the editor is taking very long! [06:14] im suprized you even got it that far, i cant get it to work at all on my end [06:15] set windows up to send [06:15] and set ubuntu to recieve [06:15] bluto20, what do you mean? [06:15] genefitz, good idea, [06:15] Hey sauvin! [06:15] and googling " vista ubuntu dual boot" churns out a page that recommends using vista's partition editor [06:15] Now ignoring elements -BOFHNet IRC Ignore- [06:15] can some one tell me how to open a office 2007 [06:15] http://apcmag.com/5046/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first [06:15] axel_s, you have to setup ur network profile on ubuntu, meaning u have to choose ur own name/pw [06:15] document [06:15] No longer ignoring elements -BOFHNet IRC Ignore- [06:15] in open office [06:15] how do i set windows to recieve? [06:15] bluto20, where do I do that? [06:16] CubeXombi, that is the only way I know to disable a errored drive. [06:16] well .. I'm gonna get me a fresh coffee and start scripting then [06:16] a screwdriver thru the heart of the corrupted beast stops it pretty quickly too, if all else fails [06:16] btw is there an official dual boot vista/ubuntu howto? [06:16] thanks [06:16] Heya! [06:17] I'm dual booting Ubuntu and XP :D [06:17] HOW [06:17] ddalton: actually i am in the midst of doing tat nw.. helping a friend.. my 1st dual boot wif vista [06:17] !dualboot [06:17] Dual boot instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookProFeisty [06:17] i can't even figure out how to user the partition manager to make a simple partition [06:17] i haven't dual booted since 1999 [06:17] No Problem, with as much help as you have offered me tonight, it is nice to be able to return at least a little of it. [06:18] axel_s http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/SAMBA_Filesharing [06:18] anyone up to helping out a semi noob with an xserver problem? [06:18] Anyone knows where Mozilla firefox is installed in? (which directory) [06:18] haven't used windows since 99 either. [06:18] Jack just let in the installer do the work [06:18] need windows installed before hand though [06:18] jack: partition manager frm which OS? [06:18] hum.. I try to open firefox, but it says its already running.. is there a "processes" window somewhere? [06:18] can someone help me with the problem where it said " : "Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds..." and something wrong with /etc/gdm/xsession [06:18] bloony: ps x [06:18] i can't log into regular gnome [06:18] mrc420, what's the drama buddy? [06:18] john' [06:18] i havent used windoes since last week, when everything fell to pieces [06:19] i have a drive partition under windows, 60 gigs.. i tried to split it to make a /root and a /swap [06:19] do CTRL + ALT + F1 [06:19] windows sucks teh anus [06:19] but it failed to format or create the partition [06:19] lol [06:19] bloony "ps ax|grep fox" will show anything running with "fox" in it. ps ax shows everything. then you can kill # or killall 'name' it. [06:19] xoxo2723: the problem i have is when i try to install xvnkb, it said i have no core file or something [06:19] kk [06:19] bloony "which firefox" will show you which firefox gets run. [06:19] ebirtaid: but windows supports more than linux does [06:19] so is everyone happier with their gutsy over feisty? [06:19] john : you probably have no disk space left on /home [06:19] supports what more? on a box I built nothing was supported [06:20] bluto20, thanks! [06:20] no NIC [06:20] nothing [06:20] xoxo2723: i still do have disk space [06:20] i just checked with df [06:20] Bluto20, I am still in the air, honestly. [06:20] use GParted and redice the size of your windows partition [06:20] after installing the nvidia-glx-new, cannot get gui to boot. drops the boot, and says xserver could not be started. In the prcesses, it appears everything looks alright unitl the end, when it says.. "Failed to load module "wfb". Module does not exist. Nvidia: Need libwfb but wfb screenInit not found. Fatal server error. Addscreen/screenInit failed for driver 0. [06:20] elfgoh, the default one that runs during the ubuntu installer [06:20] Feisty gave me a lot of issues on the graphical end, because I was using an Acer 19" widescreen and Ubuntu didn't like it. [06:20] then once that is done and you have free non partitioned space [06:21] bluto20 I like gusty over dapper, never game fiesty a try, bad upgrade when I first tried it, put me right off) [06:21] Using a GeForce 8800 GTS [06:21] then run installer and mark install in free space [06:21] xoxo2723: do you know how to reinstall xsession or something? [06:21] hey i need how to view multiple windows in on genome xchat any ideas [06:21] jack: ic.. i am using gparted (not the one in the installer) in ubuntu [06:21] and it will all be done auto [06:21] mrc420 . xorg.conf is wrong [06:21] I will, however say that some things work better now. I don't lose my window controls when Compiz is activated now. [06:21] that sux [06:21] john : did you try logging into the failsafe gnome [06:21] * SamFisher47 uses IRC for the first time [06:21] xoxo2723: yes, it works, i am on it right now [06:22] i wonder if ATI and NVIDIA will ever have drivers that work instantly [06:22] xoxo2723: same laptop, it just that i cant' log into regular gnome, because xvnkb is blocking it or something [06:22] I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg, and I thought I set everthing up corectly [06:22] it said something about setuid [06:22] Anyone know of a good linux distro for old people? Something really simple, and straightforward. [06:22] apparently not [06:22] bluto20: i wonder that too [06:22] and stable [06:22] elninja ubuntu is easy, also pxlinuxos [06:22] gonzoism: I get no such prosses when trying to kill by number.. but when I do ps again its a different number..

[06:32] MacDrunk, xchat has all that [06:32] MacDrunk: irssi is a really good option because you can use it within terminal and it is just as capable as the heavier applications [06:32] ebirtaid: i don't know. just recomend something :) [06:32] MacDrunk: what's your IRC program? [06:32] xchat [06:32] Mine is Pidgin :) [06:32] haha what do you want man :D I use openbox [06:32] greencookie, ick [06:32] how to install aiglx? does anyboy know?

[06:33] and easy to use :) [06:33] greencookie, cant stand that notion, pidgin is for IM, xchat is for IRC [06:33] ah uhm [06:33] xchat...hmmm : sudo apt-get install xchat? [06:33] how far away is video on pidgin ? [06:33] kde is nice for eyecandy, xfce gives transparency fairly easily [06:33] Karri are you using a router? [06:33] hate it when they make programs that try to be "all in one" like trillian n other crap [06:33] pidgin works well for chat [06:33] BitchX-1.1-final+ by panasync - Linux 2.6.9-023stab044.4-enterprise [06:33] but compiz is best for eyecandy [06:33] greencookie xchat is good. bitchx is better. [06:33] bluto20: as in both computers reach internet on the same cable, comp1 has two nics, comp2 leaches the net of comp1 [06:34] irssi is the best [06:34] ok xchat or bitchx? can someone help me choose? [06:34] gonzoism, i havent used bitchX in a long time [06:34] greencookie bitchx is command line.... [06:34] haha ebirtaid irssi:) I don't know how to tab through 2 open channels in that. [06:34] is just irc [06:34] Evanlec: you know you like having all your instant messengers bulndled, don't lie [06:34] Evanlec: no, irssi is for IRC ----> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/sjovan/Screenshot-3.png [06:34] i used to use epic, ircii, irssi for a week or so, and bitchx for years [06:34] oh gonzoism I'll stick with xchat. [06:34] irssi is good to learn in case you're stuck with a CLI or you're using SSH [06:34] greencookie i think there is a gui for it though with gtk [06:34] Oh sorry. I've never dealt with that configuration before. So I can't fully help you. :( [06:34] ha [06:35] so as i say before mirc is the best [06:35] sjovan: how did you customize your irssi background? [06:35] sjovan, dont get me wrong, i like irssi but...xchat is just a little easier .. [06:35] event is not a linux app [06:35] epic is the best... :) [06:35] bluto20 okey, well i got it so far that comp2 reaches comp1 but not wise versa [06:35] i hear mirc has activation now [06:35] I don't like irssi, its too complicated for me:) [06:35] greencookie, he didnt, hes using gnome-terminal that has a transparent background, you're looking at his desktop wallpaper [06:35] hmm [06:35] i loo'd when i heard that [06:35] karri [06:35] ebirtaid: i'm going to try out openbox then. nah, i like gnome :) [06:35] Evanlec: oh ok:) [06:36] yes macdrunk [06:36] fluxbox is awesome... [06:36] Evanlec: are you using ATI card? [06:36] greencookie, irssi is a terminal application, meaning non-gui [06:36] greencook: just change the terminal setings. the rest you do with themes [06:36] greencookie, no im not sorry [06:36] sjovan: ok thanks.

[06:51] BLLZ there is a lot of howtos on the net for this... [06:51] It does seem to preform better then EXT3. I am just happy I no longer have the corruption problem reiser3, jfs, and xfs kept giving me. I don't know what there problem was. [06:51] BLLZ i don't mind helping though. [06:51] MacDrunk: I'm sorry but that site made me lost?!

[06:54] number9 or you may try deleting the file, /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket [06:54] FX5200? wouldnt be the model with 256 Mb memory, would it? or does it come with 128? [06:54] gonzoism: dumb question. how do i get to sessions again? [06:54] gonzoism i mean just only Chai Forward filled by Accept all -- anywhere anywhere like that... [06:54] what's the command line thing to configure graphics cards? envy or something? [06:54] gonzoism, well it says it can't find that file, but i'll have a look [06:54] Billies: 128 [06:54] number9 i thought it was for automounting cds and usb stuff. i think now it is for networking. [06:55] i think because of this doesn't recognise my computer it well [06:55] oh, then why did mine have 256? ive never seen it with more than 128 [06:55] gonzoism, that's what synaptic says about it [06:55] Can someone help me .. I have an ASUS M2N4-SLI and have issues installing Ubuntu. Disabling APIC (boot option 'noapic') doesn't work, neither does removing 'quiet' from the boot options. [06:55] number9 but you don't need it for networking. if you set up networking manually. [06:55] mine is 128 for sure === indrek is now known as intsarts [06:56] gonzoism, I'm gonna end up using ndiswrapper... do you think it'll be an issue? [06:56] i must have gotten a special card then, because secondlife used all 256 mb of it, and it was a 5200. ill look into that later, but whats your problem now? [06:57] Can anyone tell me why my root directory (10 GB) is full? I just upgraded to Gutsy a few days ago. Could it be anything to do with VMware? [06:57] if i install and enable the restricted driver (to have 3d) after rebbot i get in FailSafe (on Gutsy) [06:57] offline, try apt-get clean [06:58] gonzoism, tor is not working at all [06:58] number9 not if you can do the "sudo ifconfig wlan0 10.0.0.x ;sudo route add default gw 10.0.0.1" or "sudo wifi-radar" after setting up ndiswrapper. [06:59] BLLZ ps ax|grep tor does that show tor running ? [06:59] The history command associates a number to a line of command text which I typed previously. What is the name or identifier of this number? I could not find it in 'man history'. [06:59] BLLZ you have to edit the privoxy and tor files. that is what the howtos on the net would be good for. [07:00] hello [07:00] gonzoism, I won't be able to statically set my IP. I'm connecting to a school network [07:00] koko so what ?

But after completing the partitioning with gpated (in ubuntu, not the installer) gparted restarts itself... any suggestions or is this a bug? [07:04] Can someone help me .. I have an ASUS M2N4-SLI and have issues installing Ubuntu. Disabling APIC (boot option 'noapic') doesn't work, neither does removing 'quiet' from the boot options. [07:04] gonzoism, well there wasn't any /var/run/dbus/ directory at all [07:04] I'm gonna guess that gparted restarts to read in the new structure [07:04] gonzoism: yes both tor and privoxy show up in the text [07:05] how do i find out the size of a file or directory in terminal? [07:05] BLLZ cool. now edit your privoxy config. hang on, looking up howto [07:05] ls -l "/path/file" [07:05] prak du -sh folder. du file.name [07:05] thanks gonzoism [07:06] prak -h for human output.

[07:21] ok [07:22] I want to switch my default MP3 player from Totem to Audacity. [07:22] <[chr0n0s]> Sin1, it seems to be running.. you have to ask other if it's correct or not [07:22] <[chr0n0s]> others* [07:22] [chr0n0s]: ok cool. thanks [07:22] jodde: try this > open nautilus, find an MP3. right click > properties > open with ... or something like that [07:22] number9 you want to send in a bug report to the ubuntu people. this is a bug they want to fix for you and everyone else. they will be happy to get this one.

I change it to 'nvidia' and click ok but when i bring back up the graphics card settings it's back to riva. any suggestions? My resolution is stuck on 640x480 [07:23] Thanks. [07:23] yw [07:23] anyone? i set up my gutsy box to share internet connection w/ winXP box...is there a way for me to limit the XP box's download/upload speed? [07:23] how do I mount a second HDD and use that information? [07:24] number9 look on the ubuntu website for a place for reporting bugs. and send them an email with the info about this. they will email you back and probably either ask questions or tell you how to fix this. really, this bug should be fixed. [07:24] gonzoism, first it gets a bugger i/o error for device fd0 which doesn't exist, then it finally dies when trying to load squashfs [07:24] gonzoism, heheh that's buffer i/o error [07:25] !mount [07:25] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter [07:25] number9 fd0 is floppy, and fd0 on the boot cd is usually a fake ram disk or something. [07:25] I've used Samba to share data/resources between *nix and Windows, In Windows it asked me to authenticate, which I did, and then I can see the data i'm sharing. How do I ask it to auth me again? What services do i have to restart? [07:25] gonzoism, err wait... it's actually loading [07:25] gonzoism, for the first time in 234832094 tries [07:25] mount command worked but was rejecting it. [07:25] number9 mind doing the integrity check on the cd ? you might have a bad cd or a bad file burnt to the cd. [07:25] gonzoism, I did check it. It passes [07:26] How do you add higher resolutions? The max in my resolutions list is 640x480. I can't live like this! [07:26] gonzoism, now it's hanging on cupsd (thought it hasn't been too long yet...) [07:26] number9 if it doesn't boot, definitely send the ubuntu bug report people an email. and if you would like also report the other problems. they will want to squash that bug. [07:26] number9 maybe give it time. [07:26] help [07:27] mount /dev/sda2 /mnt ext3 [07:27] command used to mount it. [07:27] gonzoism, I'll probably submit a bunch of reports, one for each issue [07:27] how do I set the defaut run level in ubuntu?

[07:27] gonzoism, yes it's definitely hanging [07:27] Flynsarmy: you can try opening a terminal and then >> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but if you're using something beyond the open source drivers I dunno how well that's going to work. i've hearcd [07:27] my current default level is 1; I want to set my defualt run level in ubuntu to 2; how do I do this? [07:28] gutsy uses esd server for sound and not alsa? [07:28] i've heard some using the proprietary drivers say it didn't work at all. i have no experience with nvidia cards tho, so i dunno [07:28] gonzoism, are u kidding? u know how many bug reports they get? [07:28] karri: so did it help you [07:28] <[chr0n0s]> riotkittie, intel/ati ? [07:28] Evanlec not enough... [07:29] I've used Samba to share data/resources between *nix and Windows, In Windows it asked me to authenticate, which I did, and then I can see the data i'm sharing. How do I ask it to auth me again? What services do i have to restart? [07:29] well I doubt they'll get to it quickly, but I really like Ubuntu and I'd rather they fix this stuff [07:29] gonzoism, more than they can reasonably deal with thats for sure...thats why they set priorities on them, they fix the ones most urgent [07:29] number9, what exactly is the problem ur reporting? [07:29] i set up my gutsy box to share internet connection w/ winXP box...is there a way for me to limit the XP box's download/upload speed? [07:29] Evanlec, the LiveCD not booting seems urgent [07:29] riotkittie: I have an 8600GT and it's asking me how much memory to be used by the graphics card. Ideas? [07:30] Evanlec ubuntu not booting on a p4 is a big deal. [07:30] number9, 64bit? whats the error? any output? [07:30] have there been any updates to get around the kernel panic of running gusty in virutalbox? [07:30] run level check inittab [07:30] obviously ubuntu boots on a p4 so thats not it... [07:30] Evanlec, 32bit, just hangs on cupsd when booting, no error [07:30] okay [07:30] can u get to recovery console? [07:31] Evanlec, you mean safe graphics mode? [07:31] no, i mean recovery mode [07:31] Flynsarmy: i'd hit enter and let it choose what it hinks is best [07:31] oh yea, ur on liveced [07:32] Evanlec, I have the alternate too [07:32] ah, do u have splash screen disabled? [07:32] and the alternate wont boot either? [07:32] /etc/inittab does not exist ... how do I change the default run level in ubuntu? I want to set it to 2; but right now, it's 1 [07:32] Evanlec, alternate will. I installed with it, but the installation has a bunch of problems [07:32] number9, such as? [07:32] number9, will it boot ? [07:33] Evanlec, it hangs on boot when it gets to avahi-daemon [07:33] hi, my double quotes are broken, i have some weird char, how do i reconfigure my keymap, i tried to dpkg-reconfigure console-setup but it didnt help .... how do i get my double quotes back? [07:33] i have also tried System > Preferences > Keyboard i cannot find any options to remap my keys ... [07:33] Evanlec, when I removed avahi-daemon (via recovery mode) it hung on dhcbcd [07:34] alright, so its crashing for some other reason it would seem === skyion_za is now known as skyion [07:34] the key i have is ¨ it got it because the gutsy install asked me if i had it and it looks quite similar to the double quote ... [07:34] Evanlec, the avahi error was that dbus couldn't find /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket [07:34] htaccess_, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg that will let u pick ur keyboard layout again, this time dont have it autodetect, just select us104 urself [07:34] Evanlec, and I found that /var/run/dbus didn't exist [07:35] number9, hmm, well i would try re-installing then [07:35] Can someone help me? [07:35] Evanlec, this is the second install [07:35] Evanlec: thanks thats the one :) [07:35] number9, did feisty work for you? [07:35] Evanlec, yes === erich_ is now known as erichj [07:36] number9, try the 64bit version..who knows? [07:36] Evanlec, that doesn't seem very useful [07:36] number9, its worth a shot [07:37] number9, did u search around for all these problems u had? [07:37] Evanlec, yes. almost zero results for the avahi dbus error [07:38] I installed ubuntu-studio, but I want to remove it again.. but when I installed it is was 300mb+ and now its 32k.. using the synaptic package manager [07:38] Evanlec, Gutsy is too new to have a lot of help [07:38] Evanlec: running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, i have nvidia restricted drivers working ... and dont whan to break them ... what driver should i use, nvidia or nv? [07:38] How can I figure out whether my router or my NIC is the factor in my WiFI connection strength? [07:38] Is there anything better than Amarok on Linux, Windows or Mac? [07:38] greencookie: no [07:39] htaccess_, I thought so. [07:39] Evanlec, thanks for your help. I'll submit a bug report, go to feisty, and see if an upgrade to Gutsy from there works [07:39] Oh, and something odd: iwl3945 seems to work better for me than ipw3945. [07:39] htaccess_, I just uninstalled Amarok to try a plethora of other programs. None of them cut it for me:) [07:39] htaccess_, i think you'll be fine using nvidia driver, that should keep things the same [07:39] greencookie: unless you want to buy tunes ... then itunes has more choice [07:40] number9, alrighty [07:40] Evanlec: ok thanks [07:40] htaccess_, buy tunes?! Where did you get THAT crazy idea from? ;) [07:40] i set up my gutsy box to share internet connection w/ winXP box...is there a way for me to limit the XP box's download/upload speed? [07:41] greencookie: you can even do it in amarok, just the choice is limited ... [07:41] tech0007: Yes. [07:41] Has anybody else noticed that CPU scaling seems to be broken recently? I just noticed today. [07:41] tech0007: Easiest is via `shaperd' [07:41] htaccess_, I can buy tunes from Amarok? [07:41] tech0007, i think you would have to investigate QoS , but easier would be to limit it on the windows xp machine i think [07:41] htaccess_, I shud check it out. Thanks. [07:42] does any one have an acer AL2216w working with gutsy? [07:42] Chadwick|359: Nope, works fine on all machines here. [07:42] Anyone can help me to solve apache web server not want to start? [07:42] Can anyone help me? [07:42] no [07:42] smmagic say your problem so anyone can know your problesm [07:42] tech0007: The hard way is indeed via QoS and the traffi shaper (tc_) infrastructure. [07:43] Disclaimer; tc syntax might cause migraines. [07:43] My PSP menu says I have 2.8gb remaining, but when I connect it to ubuntu it says there is 100mb remaining [07:43] cafuego, well, crud, then. I Seem to have no scaling on a 1.86 p4m, does Gnome have a frequency force applet like KDE does? [07:43] How do I make it recount? [07:43] Chadwick|359: Yes. [07:43] how do I edit a file in client? [07:43] Chadwick|359: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets', answer Yes to setting it suid. [07:43] smmagic delete trach can? [07:43] smmagic delete trash i mean [07:44] cafuego: Evanlec; ok , i'll check those things out. thanks [07:44] But..I have 2.8gb left [07:44] Ubuntu thinks I have 100mb [07:44] whats the channel for advanced desktop effects for compiz fusion, i'm having an issue with a small part of it [07:44] how do i change font colour on pidgin [07:44] OK all that xorg reconfigure thing accomplished was to disable my keyboard and make it so my mouse couldn't click on anything [07:44] #ubuntu-effects [07:44] cafuego, thankee. [07:44] smmagic, PSP ? [07:45] Yes [07:45] what is that? [07:45] thanks [07:45] PLay station portable [07:45] ohh [07:45] lol [07:45] didnt know u could connect those to ubuntu [07:45] Of course you can [07:45] try checking the trash folder [07:45] under all files [07:45] Oh yeah, my router and my laptop each show different values for signal strength. [07:46] Flynsarmy, Do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg again. this time though when you come to the keyboard selection dialogue let it autoconfigure. Same for mouse. [07:46] frederick85: maybe create a special .gtkrc file for pidgin in $HOME/.pidgin/ [07:46] Anyone know? [07:46] now it want my damn monitor frequency ... i dont know! [07:46] how do I check free space on a drive? [07:47] df -h [07:47] htaccess_, not a huge deal, if u can, google your monitor's model and u can find the refresh rates [07:48] hi can i know how this is used? "ln -s `pwd`/django_src/django YOUR-DIR/django" [07:48] does any one know why X would not stretch a widescreen resolution across all of a widescreen monitor?

[08:39] greencookie: I did install firestarter there is an option there that looks suspicious [08:39] greencookie, well there is #ekiga where they want you to build from source or there is install it and see how it goes [08:39] ok ompaul thanks ill look into that. Later [08:39] bye all. [08:40] I found /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14/fs/ext4/ How can I build that into a module? [08:41] How do you open an application using the terminal? [08:41] installing-ubunt, firestarter - nothing suspicious in that - but note this, unless you are installing servers you really don't need a firewall the build of ubuntu is totally different to that other platform which needs lots of additions like firewalls and anti virus software before it is fit to start travelling [08:41] please, can anyone tell me where to configure the window titlebars? i dont want to them to be transparent when inactive. I have desktop effects enabled and ccsm installed. [08:42] ompaul: Im trying to set up ssh I wanted to open a port and I find iptables a little difficult. [08:42] I failed at upgrade from feisty->gutsy [08:42] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/158258 [08:42] gluonman type in the name of the program in terminal? [08:42] oscar [08:42] How do I list info (manufacturer & model etc.) regarding ide/scsi devices attached to the system the "same" way that lspci does it? [08:42] dpkg is core dumping on me [08:42] pga, there's nothing more than that? No sudo or anything? [08:42] could I ask someone to try to ssh to my computer, I am hoping you will get a password rejected message [08:43] installing-ubunt, setting up ssh is easy. sudo apt-get install openssh-server -- job done [08:43] is there any way to continue a (windows written) multisession dvd on 7.10 ? [08:43] pga, you can't just type in the name of the program. It's not a command. [08:43] ompaul: but iptables? and being behind a nat router ... [08:43] OSCAR_ACOSTA: install compizconfig-settings-manager [08:44] ompaul: also by mistake I deleted the ssh group and then readded a group called ssh ... hen.. [08:44] geoaxis, ccsm is installed [08:44] george, sorry [08:44] installing-ubunt, iptables why? you have not justified it to me, and being behind nat well you need to tell the nat router to pass on the packets and that is beyond the scope of this channel [08:44] installing-ubunt, well if you changed the base system you need a good lesson, so reinstall it and do it all "right from the start" [08:45] hi all [08:45] hey [08:45] installing-ubunt, it is not fair on those who would help you if you have broken it to expeect them to un break it start again and do it right from the start [08:46] i need a software to monitor my server live, like watch it in solarwinds [08:46] !ignore [08:46] If you really don't wish to see the messages from a particular person on IRC, you can use /ignore nickname [08:46] is there an open source software for that [08:46] abuyazan: try fluxbox [08:46] ignore ompaul [08:46] abuyazan: If I remember well, that supports it [08:47] hello folks [08:47] when I use adept to install a program, I receive this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42541/ ; I tried to set permission with xhost or reconfigure debconf but didnt work, anybody can help me?

[09:18] gundam_rx78nt1: I'm not pro. but are you trying to upgrading to gutsy from feisty with Package manager, or are you doing a fresh install from gutsy.iso filea burned CD disc? [09:18] I have been trying to get this fixed for the past 3 days. [09:18] rtavi, compiz was the original window effects, this was split into compiz and beryl, but about 6 months ago, they merged again [09:19] I was trying to do it with Package manager as per the instructions on the web page. Now it won't detect nor load the drivers (ipw3945) for my wireless card [09:19] but i tried to install beryl n when i do ./confgiure it says c compiler could not create an executable file [09:19] gundam_rx78nt1: same problem happened to me. What are you using right now? is it feisty? [09:19] dgjones, does 7.10 not have the compiz-manager program? [09:20] feisty yes [09:20] right now a failed version of 7.10 [09:20] * Kibble dances around in circles "I'm a newbie I'm a newbie I'm a newbie" [09:20] it won't complete the upgrade. [09:20] LinuxNIT, just saw that, you can add it though through synaptic/apt-get, should also be able to download the package from packages.ubuntu.com and save to a disk/usb key and use that to install from if there's no internet access on the computer [09:21] hey i'm running ubuntu in vmware...just for initial testing...i'm tryin to get wine working [09:21] what do i do to install beryl now? [09:21] but when i run winecfg i gettin some weird errors [09:21] gundam_rx78nt1: oh IC. look! the same thing happened to me upgrading from feisty to gutsy. I had alot of problems, & so is alot of other friends of mine. I'm not pretty sure of what causing it. but there is a bug for some people upgrading from feisty to gutsy afaik. So they adviced me this (Back up your /home/username dir.) Download the newest gutsy image .iso & burn it. and do a fresh install!) <-- I did that, and I'm so happy I did :) [09:21] dgjones, whats it called in synaptic... i dont see it (livecd if it matters) [09:21] i searched for compiz settigns [09:21] LinuxNIT, i just found this website that might help http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/04/compiz-fusion-on-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbin/ [09:21] would some one plz answer me? [09:22] dgjones, i tried that it said package not found [09:22] rtavi: answer you what. I told you get gutsy 7.10 instead of what your using first, then come ask again :P [09:22] Does the ubuntu 7.04 livecd come with xchat-gnome, and if so, would it be invoked at the command line as xchat-gnome? [09:22] I havent rcvd the gusty cd yet man [09:22] rtavi, try joining #ubuntu-effects, they'll probably be able to help you install beryl on 7.04, although it might be easier to install 7.10 [09:23] thanx dgjones [09:23] can you guess how many changes I did to customize my desktop? It will cause me to do all that customization all over again? no wonder linux isn't as popular as microscrap.

[09:33] <[chr0n0s]> teachergorilla, helo [09:33] rtavi, it depends what they are, they're probably not recommended as you can normally download the same packages optimized for ubuntu - debain packages may have different library versions which could cause things not to work [09:33] hi all... anyone able to record a wengophonecall?

I have tried noapic irqpoll and a load of other cheat codes but Gutsy just doesn't want to know. It seems strange because Edgy just worked on my notebook. Then Feisty needed extra work to run properly. And now Gutsy just doesn't work. Is this progression? It seems a little retrograde to me!

Gutsy recognizes my ethernet card, can ping local network, but will not connect to my ISP. what am I missing? [10:18] more to the point - what information do I need to connect to an ISP using a cable modem on ethernet port? [10:19] modem is external? [10:19] ayup [10:19] on eth0 [10:19] any thoughts? [10:20] Kibble, it should not matter what eth it is connected to - now it is an external box and you could come along tomorrow with a laptop and plug into it am I right> [10:20] Kibble, do you have a static ip? [10:20] not as far as I know, it's dhcp [10:20] Kibble, ? [10:20] ompaul what? [10:20] didn't understand u [10:20] (go easy on me now :)) [10:20] Kibble, ompaul's not trying to tell you to come along tomorrow and plug it into a laptop. he's asking if you could. [10:21] the question is - is it an external unit yes or no [10:21] i could plug the modem into anything with an ethernet port [10:21] yes, it is [10:21] sorry for the denseness [10:22] thank you, then do this on the command line on your machine sudo dhclient, if that provides internet access then I suggest you click on System Administration Networking and do the setup there tell it that it is dhcp [10:22] (why is that important?) [10:23] Kibble, cos if it is an internal modem you got a whole other gig going on [10:23] i see. [10:23] hi [10:23] I did what you said already, i think..... [10:24] Kibble, if you did you would not have connection issues unless your hardware is faulty [10:24] as i mentioned, ifconfig reports that i am connected, i just don't know how to login to my ISP [10:24] !bin [10:24] Sorry, I don't know anything about bin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:25] Kibble, and a faulty ethernet card is very unusual I have seen it once in 15 years of sysadmin stuff [10:26] how could I check to see that I am connected to the internet? [10:26] (don't i need to logon?) [10:26] ping www.google.com [10:26] you could do a ping Kibble [10:27] i get nothing [10:27] Kibble, the modem should log onto the internet [10:27] i can ping myself and cable.netvision.net.il [10:27] then you are out on the wire so I would not worry about it [10:27] Kibble, is there something you are not telling us, like you have a small lan or some such [10:28] nope. [10:28] laptop, ethernet cable, modem, ISP, internet. [10:28] and ubuntu gutsy version. [10:28] so how are you here if you don't have connection to internet?

There is a DHCP server on my network. eth0 appears in ifconfig, but it has no IP. However, theres ethO:ava which has a 196.254.*.* address (apipa and/or bonjour) ... How can I get eth0 to receive a valid IP address ? [11:38] jamili: I dunno the details about adept. Maybe it is lock locking the dpkg databases. [11:38] how to extract files from a lmz file ? [11:38] Doesn't gutsy got out-of-the-box support for virtualbox? [11:38] jamili: try to use it to install the package.

[12:15] brickbat: for future reference to myself [12:15] seamus7: hmm... not sure whether you should uninstall first [12:16] the artist formerly known as cua0 [12:16] Duesentrieb: save session otherwise it goes default when u shutdown [12:16] I wnt it at 75 hz... [12:16] seamus7: I don't when I install things with apt, an gdebi seems to use apt, but I'm not sure about it [12:16] JimmyDee: ? [12:16] seamus7: i'm pretty sure you don't need to uninstall, but if you wanna be safe, just go ahead an uninstall [12:16] jonaskoelker: i'm in the deluge channel now... just want to double check ... i dont' think i do either [12:16] seamus7: could you do me a favor--see what "aptitude search '~Ggame::strategy'" outputs [12:16] hello, I have disabled avahi completely by putting "AVAHI_DAEMON_START=0" in /etc/default/avahi-daemon and restarting... but ifconfig still shows eth0:ava .... ouch ! How can I get rid of avahi completely ? [12:16] Duesentrieb: system > session [12:17] jonaskoelker: sda/sd1/sd2?? [12:17] Bonster: i don't get it - session should be saved automatically, and the default should be correct, and since whne does the *system* time depend on a kde session? and, last but not least, why would it be reset on suspend/resume? [12:17] bloony: not sure, try them all [12:17] <__doc__> hi, anybody an idea how I can get alsa to use plughw:1,0 as the default sound card (instead of hw:0,0) ? [12:17] PPL-> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42547/ what else do I need to do to set 75Hz??? [12:17] (is there a xyzzyw:1,0 to go with that? :D) [12:17] Bonster: and, oh, yea: KDE [12:17] jonaskoelker: nothing [12:17] hello [12:17] seamus7: thanks [12:18] Duesentrieb: oh gnome here [12:18] bloony: PM [12:18] how i could have system log appears live on the desktop ? [12:18] cua0: you can manually edit the .gtk-bookmarks in your home folder [12:18] Bonster: but still, i don't see the connection. it doesn't have the wrong time zone - the system clock is wrong, and gets reset to the wroing time! [12:18] hmm, wireless networking seems really flakey in Ubuntu :( [12:18] brickbat: there's an easier way, but ya that'd work i suppose hah :) [12:19] Duesentrieb: cuz u have to save the session [12:19] Duesentrieb: i believe there were some problems w/ tzdata... i'm not sure, tho [12:19] nila: indeed, i haven't had any disconnects but the signal strength seems abnormally low. [12:19] cua0: works for me. :) [12:19] cya [12:19] Bonster: please explain the connection. i'm confused. [12:19] the auto save shit doesnt work [12:19] Duesentrieb: i know there were problems before gutsy release, idk about that now [12:19] I just managed to get mine working finally using default network manager - had to choose thewrong type of auth to make it work [12:20] leo_rockw: i'm on feisty [12:20] leo_rockw: hm... how/where would i look for that? [12:20] installed wicd because supposedly thats what I should use if I dont want it to always ask me for password every time I reboot - now this cant connect to it [12:20] Duesentrieb: launchpad.net [12:20] Duesentrieb: maybe tzdata got updated on feisty too [12:20] how i could have system log appears live on the desktop ? [12:21] evildead: superkaramba [12:21] nila: have you tried using the windows drivers for it? [12:21] Duesentrieb: i know in the argentine mailing list they had been talking about tzdata, so i guess there is some kind of problem [12:21] evildead: gdesklets, screenlets, superkaramba... your pick [12:21] no? [12:22] leo_rockw: hm... apt-get install tzdata did upgrade something. i hope it fixed it, we'll see. thanks for the hint! [12:22] ok thank you [12:22] cua0 - no idea how to do that [12:22] Duesentrieb: np [12:22] leo_rockw: oh, btw - what's the command-line way to upgrade to the next release? i forget. [12:22] Need hePPL-> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42547/ what else do I need to do to set 75Hz???? [12:22] nila: i don't recall the exact procedure, something like nlwrapper? i don't remember. [12:22] Duesentrieb: i'm not sure... i did it like 2 months ago when it was still alpha [12:22] !search nlwrapper [12:22] Found: [12:22] hrm [12:23] Duesentrieb: i forgot the command [12:23] !search wrapper [12:23] Found: ndiswrapper, checkinstall [12:23] cua0: ndiswrapper? [12:23] ah [12:23] ndiswrapper! [12:23] leo_rockw: :P [12:23] nila: ndiswrapper [12:23] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:23] Duesentrieb: i'm sure you can find it in 2 seconds in google, it must be all over the place [12:23] ok - any other clues as to how to use it with windows drivers? [12:24] hello. My users aren't able to use compiz effects. Is there a config file that needs editing? [12:24] hell all [12:24] leo_rockw: yea, looking [12:24] i really need help !!!!!

All i know is that when i'm using banshee, firefox and qbittorrent i have crashes [12:26] __doc__: this is a good link for multiple sound cards in linux: http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards [12:26] please, i have to finish my work but i can keep working with this problem ! [12:26] <__doc__> whatshisname: thx [12:26] the area --> How to choose a particular order for multiple installed cards [12:27] how do I uninstall wicd after it's installed?

[12:27] keo92: find logs, be less vague. [12:28] nila, if you're using synaptic, just open that, search for the app and untick it, that should remove it [12:28] keo92: try /var/log ? [12:28] <_RadioHead> anyone know an cd/dvd burning tools that can burn same project on 4 DVD-rw @ once? [12:28] it didn't find it in the add/remove applications [12:28] nila: under system > administration > package management [12:29] nila: system > administration > synaptics package manager [12:29] cua0, i already searched there but i didn't find firefox logs [12:29] I installed it by: sudo apt-get install wicd [12:29] keo92: go to about:config in firefox and find out where it outputs its error logs [12:30] cua0, ok [12:30] nila: sudo apt-get remove wicd [12:30] nila: it should show up in synaptics anyways.

[12:38] hello, I just installed gutsy and I see a change in window list applet: buttons corresponding to a window seems to be of fixed width, even if they have space to show the full title, gconf-editor doesn't seems to help, any idea/comment? [12:38] Zarvox: maybe you should invest in a UPS system or something while you're at it [12:38] no more thing to do ? [12:38] dgjones: that explicitly says at the top that it's not for people wanting to do software raid; "tehre's already a howto on this forum for that", but with no link [12:38] cua0: power surges sting really badly... [12:39] Bonster, then linux vlc can't handle the format? cause it's a playable movie. i've watched it before with "other" software. [12:39] zarvox: not off the top of my head, no [12:39] vraa: uh, what? you should've been doing it in the terminal to begin with [12:39] well it's "pppd call cdma" [12:39] vraa: sorry , i assumed you knew [12:39] pi-meson_, i'm not sure then, i've never found need to do any software raid [12:39] vraa: try this [12:39] i created the bash script, how do i just double click the file and have it enter in the command into terminal [12:39] Bonster: VLC may need codecs to play some things. [12:39] vraa: sudo echo pppd call cdma >> cdma.sh [12:39] RickJones: u can real DVD player like SBplayer or Mplayer [12:39] RickJones: What are you attempting to play?

How can I get rid of avahi completely ? [12:41] then see what is in there [12:41] RickJones: Right, you most likely need to install libdvdcss2 and libdvdread3. I'm assuming it's a DVD confined in an ISO file.

But i have no idea what it is and how to fix it since not even reinstalling works [12:47] rijo, kernel = the main OS component [12:47] rijo, you can think of the kernel as the OS itself :) [12:48] rijo, looks like grub error 15 is like the (in)famous command.com not found error of DOS...

[12:55] nL-jAze, there was an apt command to do that, apt-file IIRC, it's not installed by default [12:55] nL-jAze, copy the error you get from the compiler and post it on search in Google [12:56] did it already [12:56] if you're lucky there's some forum with the problem solved [12:56] no results for me [12:56] ok [12:56] what is the error?

[12:57] rijo: then grub is written properly. if it doesn't work, it's a BIOS issue. do you have any USB disks connected ? [12:57] nL-jAze, are there more errors like that, or do they only happen at l_log.c? [12:57] stefg: no usb's [12:57] reddbull__: only there than it stopps compiling [12:57] stefg: ill reboot and see if it works, and check my bios again just incase [12:57] rijo: ok.

Nice monitor all up. :D [13:43] yeah this one has some backlight beeding too :)the box says its produced in... [13:43] does ngaba works on kubuntu and does it work regardless of your video card? [13:43] slovakia xD [13:43] haha, mine's made in china [13:43] Hello i'm trying to get WOW to work it works but the graphics are all messed up in DIRECT3D and in OPEN GL the frame rate is really slow I have an INTEL 82855 graphics card anybody got a solution? [13:44] but my graphix card somehow does not support DVI :/ [13:44] :O [13:44] ...wait [13:44] so used vga adaptor 8)7 [13:44] This monitor supports DVI and VGA [13:44] time for a new card, heh [13:44] frederick85, what video card are you using? [13:44] cua0 its a G80 === robteix is now known as mrgto_lunch [13:44] That's the first thing I noticed .. I was like "wtf? VGA aswell?!" [13:44] xD [13:44] frederick85, that card doesn't play with wow very friendly. ONLY way to get to run it is to put everything on the lowest setting [13:44] Anywho, I'm going to try this .. wish me luck :P [13:45] frederick85, even then, it will play like crap [13:45] how can I get the devhelp book for gtk+ on feisty? [13:45] Marfi: it's too crappy to play, so theres no solution then? [13:45] jasonago, I dunno this is my first day in my work here; but that is odd that gnome/resapplet says, that this is 85Hz, when this is 60Hz [13:46] where is the guide to just using beryl with ubuntu after you installed beryl? [13:46] my card + monitor _must_ can do 85Hz @ 800x600 for example [13:46] tft? [13:46] AlphaOmega: beryl is defunct [13:46] o_O [13:46] no, crt [13:46] ah ok [13:46] thats normal [13:46] i dont believe it [13:46] AlphaOmega: compiz / compiz-fusion [13:46] but does tft allso support higher frequency on lower resolution? [13:46] new install 7.10 installed the ati restricted drivers now i just get a black screen [13:47] oi [13:47] ok [13:47] should i uninstall beryl? [13:47] sure [13:47] hi [13:47] hmm it seams like no beryl on gutsy [13:47] hi [13:47] so what to do [13:47] can I file a bug if some essential devhelp book is not packaged anymore? [13:47] Jeroen-: beryl == compiz-fusion [13:47] hi folks, i'm trying to get X configured and started on my Ubuntu Feisty Fawn install - i did a server install (which is mostly what i wanted), but i'd like to get X up on the console. I did an aptitude uinstall KDE, which got most in, but xinit is saying /etc/X11/X is not found. What's the configuration step for building / configuring the X server? [13:47] * ngaba is just reading xorg.log [13:48] any easy way to roll it back/get it working? [13:48] frederick85, i have that card on my laptop. the way i have it running is with a stripped down version of win2k. and in some citys....its ok [13:48] eidolon: install the x server [13:48] cua0: it's installed. [13:48] afaik. there's a /usr/bin/X binary.

[13:49] I never understood this [13:49] ngaba: don't paste in channel. use a pastebin. [13:49] ok, sry [13:49] !paste > ngaba [13:49] where is my where is my xorg.conf file located? [13:49] eidolon: as far as you know? lol i'd double check since your computer seems to be disagreeing with you [13:49] frederick85: /etc/X11/xorg.conf [13:49] hmm are there any applets for G15? [13:49] cua0: mm, package name to try? x11? x? xorg? [13:50] aha, xorg is NOT installed. [13:50] * eidolon lets it run. [13:50] my bad, sorry :) [13:50] eidolon: ..ya that [13:50] lol [13:50] How can i increase my cards memory I have intel 82855 [13:50] odd that 'kde' doesn't have xorg as a dependency :) [13:50] frederick85: physically? [13:50] hm, my x uses vesa driver [13:50] this is not OK [13:51] probably in bios? [13:51] yay vesa! [13:51] eidolon: why would it? you may want to use it with a remote X server. [13:51] i mean. ahem. [13:51] is there a way to move my /home to a new partition? [13:51] cua0: i am assuming it has shared memory because it's onboard [13:51] LjL: eh? [13:51] frederick85: find the restricted drivers for it from the manufacturer and config them? [13:51] fevel: mount the new partition, copy everything over to it, then unmount it and remount it as /home [13:51] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. K8M890 [Chrome9] Integrated Video (rev 11) [13:51] do we have driver for this? [13:52] fevel: what john_r said, but best to do this when you're logged in as root and/or make sure you're not using the partitiion at the itme. (ala, basicaly go single user), otherwise you'll have open file handles on the /home partition. [13:52] ngaba: use the magic of google. [13:52] cant you change that in bios frederick85 [13:52] hi - I'm having all sorts of problems with compiz on nvidia. It was all working just fine, and then I restarted gdm, and it's not! I've tried purging all the packages, but to no avail. I get a login prompt, login, see the toolbars and the wallpaper, and then all that's visible is the wallpaper. mouse works, that's it. any ideas, please, please? oh - it's nvidia-glx-new under ubuntu, if it matters. [13:52] hi everyone [13:53] great volume button is supported :D [13:53] MikeCamel: i'd try #compiz [13:53] now get rest of my keyboard workingxD [13:53] nothing - they're very quiet there. [13:53] hi all [13:53] MikeCamel: then the mailing lists :) or bepatient. [13:53] how can I start a CD? [13:53] how do you get virtualbox to run 64bit distros? im using gutsy 32bit [13:53] frederick85: I've wow running using cedega [13:53] eidolon: 'eh' on which part? [13:54] eidolon - I'm trying patience. :-) [13:54] Jeroen-: wtf is XD? [13:54] :/ [13:54] No luck! === odin_ is now known as Odin_blackblock [13:54] cua0: It's a smiley?

[13:54] Shao|sama: really? thats fskd [13:54] ljl: xorg clients can launch remotely, afaik. but you say 'remote x server' - not sure what you mean. i use an xorg server on my server, and i have LTSP clients running their own xservers as well, and i can launch my stuff (including KDE) remotely off the server to the localized Xserver on the client workstations, so i'm not sure wat you mean by 'remote x server' [13:55] cua0: I'm sure you've heard of it! :< [13:55] You have to see it s >.< I guess, cua0 === LjL changed the topic of #ubuntu to: Official Ubuntu Support Channel | Please be patient and read the FAQ: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions | Support options: http://www.ubuntu.com/support | IRC info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRCResourcePage | Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [13:55] cua0: its like :D or :) or :(... squinting eyes with a big smile? [13:55] How can I start a CD??? [13:55] marina - what do you want to do - listen to one, or burn one? [13:55] marina: you mean play a music cd? use whatever music / media player you have. [13:55] marina: reboot your computer with the cd in the drive and itll start [13:55] mplayer, amarok, whatever. [13:55] ViciousPotato: ya your resolution is out of sync with your hardware [13:55] cua0: ahah ... any idea how to fix it? [13:56] It's like a virtual lexikon [13:56] ViciousPotato: in recovery mode manually change the options in X11Config ? [13:56] linux is giving me a cancer :/ [13:56] i am trying to reinstall a package, command-not-found [13:56] a dummy question: which package contains xorgconfig? [13:56] cua0: exactly how to fix it ... I'm incompetent when it comes ot linux [13:56] ati x1300 black screens after installing driver .. any easy way to fix? [13:56] s/ot/to/ [13:56] ngaba: xorg i believe. or do an apt-cache search [13:56] eidolon, an "x client running remotely" means that the *client* is running on the computer that does *not* have a screen with X on it -- the *server* is running X, and that's the computer you see the GUI on. i know the terminology is a little backwards, but that's what it is [13:56] incompetence and linux in general dont work well in the same sentence... [13:56] when i do so from synaptic, it gives me an error. [13:57] eidolon, apt-cache search said nothing [13:57] eidolon: so anyway, KDE must not depend on X, because X might be running on another machine than the machine that is running KDE. [13:57] ViciousPotato: ask blakeg [13:57] hi [13:57] someone here got ccsm ? [13:57] and xorg is installed [13:57] i'm forwarding all queries to blakeg [13:57] the CD isn't running [13:57] cua0: WTF?!?! you cant do that! [13:57] blakeg: hehe .. I'm quite competent when it comes to computers in general, just ubuntu is headachey! ... anyway, *asks you* [13:57] LjL: honestly, i've been using X servers since Sun-2 days, i know the terminology, trust me on it :) so when you say 'remote x server' and talking about 'xorg' - that doesn't make sense. i'm installing xorg on my server machine so i can have a gui console on it. anyway, this doesn't need to take up #ubuntu channel traffic :) [13:57] blakeg: lol i just did! [13:58] marina: Can you see the content on the cd? [13:58] want to get the goddamned keyboard working :+ [13:58] no [13:58] #ubuntu-cn [13:58] viciouspotato: my best luck with nvidia and compiz has always been to remove ALL the restricted manager stuff, ALL the nvidia-glx* stuff and then download the nvidia drivers pkg from nvidia.com and install it that way [13:58] eidolon: but, which machine is the "remote" one obviously depends on the context. we were talking about installing KDE on your *local* machine (or at least so one would assume), so i called the possible other machine that ran X the "remote" one. "remote" is relative :) [13:58] ..er [13:59] which set of files should be installed to compile and install alsa-driver (ubuntu 7.10) gets this error : checking for gcc... gcc [13:59] checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [13:59] See `config.log' for more details.

[14:03] cua0: using mv instead of cp. [14:03] promised [14:03] ebirtaid: exactly [14:03] fevel: mount the partition somewhere temporary. Copy all your /home stuff there with -p to preseve permissions. then edit the fstab to make /home the new place. then sudo mount -a [14:03] LjL: he asked how to 'move' it, not how to copy it.

Everything was working fine until I enabled the restricted video drivers. I checked "Use" and it downloaded some stuff then requested a reboot. Upon reboot, nothing is on my desktop except the background. I can right click and get the context menu and create a folder and do whatever is in the context menu, but I can't do anything else.

[14:15] any guides [14:15] The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) [14:15] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [14:15] rg [14:16] blakeg - just got and compiled the nvidia-supplied drivers. exactly the same behaviour. X comes up, login prompt, login, see toolbars briefly, then just the wallpaper. [14:16] keitherz_: sorry, i used ttysnoop once in 1998, can't help you with it now. [14:16] seriously, ask a doctor or banker or lawyer to edit xorg.conf about a mouse, look at their reaction, then rethink what else could be easier [14:16] fevel: there are different ideas on the fs of a shared partition, many say vfat. But I prefer ext2/3 since there is a windows driver for it, it's native to linux, supports >4Gb files [14:17] fevel: Also never needs defrag etc [14:17] Hi guys ! Does someone know how I could transfer pictures from/to my Ipod classic ? [14:17] mikecamel: do an nvidia-xconfig at the command line [14:17] is there any other good burning program then k3b and nero ? [14:17] I really need some help [14:17] mikecamel: or pastebin your xorg.conf for me [14:17] genii: hmmm..thats a good idea since there is ext2fs for win [14:17] Se1: search package management for ipod [14:17] fUrious, gnomebaker is another option [14:17] !find ipod | se1 [14:18] se1: Found: ipod, ipodslave, ipodslave-dev, libipod-cil, libipod-doc (and 8 others) [14:18] cua0: what kind of package ? [14:18] out of interest [14:18] blakeg - where do you want it pasted? [14:18] Se1: the one you want to install [14:18] !pastebin [14:18] 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) [14:18] Se1: an apt-cache search ipod shows "gpixpod", for instance. [14:18] dgjones will try it [14:18] Se1: what LjL said [14:18] Se1: and "tripod", and quite a few others [14:18] uhm i dont have /etc/inittab [14:18] mikecamel: there, paste.ubuntu-nl.org [14:18] LjL: thx, I'll try taht [14:18] * cua0 has and will never own an ipod [14:19] just remastering the gutsy-livecd, any ideas where to change keyboard settings? [14:19] ipod, ibook, imac, itunes... idumb? [14:19] uhm i dont have /etc/inittab [14:19] imouse don't work completely? [14:19] keitherz_: unsurprising, since 'upstart', the init system that Ubuntu uses (since Edgy), doesn't use an inittab. [14:20] !upstart > keitherz_ (keitherz_, see the private message from Ubotu) [14:20] blakeg - just posted it, but can't see a URL. [14:20] it should be down below the first box of text you pasted [14:20] hello! anybody knows if i could get a Linux driver specifically for a conexant audio chipset? [14:20] LjL so how can i configure it then [14:21] or paste the URL from the address bar [14:21] is your conexant audio onboard? [14:21] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42567 [14:21] keitherz_: i'm not sure what you want to configure [14:21] mikecamel: there we go [14:21] nb - now not even seeing a wallpaper, just the beige background. [14:21] LjL: to configure ttysnoop [14:21] Exilant-> i believe you use xmodmap for X..i dont know how to use it though [14:22] I've reinstalled ubuntu and when I did this I deleted all of the partitions and I get "error 15" in the bootloader.. when I installed I choosed to install the boot loader (and I left it default at (hd0))... but on the "ready to install" window where it talkes about the harddrives it talkes about the hd as sda and not hd0.. should I set it to install the bootloader on sda instead? or should I do something else? help! :) [14:22] mikecamel: whats the standard resolution for your monitor? [14:22] I suspect it's a layer/composite thing. [14:22] hi anyone have an idea why i always get a "timeout reached" when i copy large files over the network(wireless madwifi) to another computer? [14:22] Are there SMP kernel headers in Ubuntu? [14:22] 1600x1200. and it is running at that. [14:22] oaky [14:22] VMWare is telling me that the kernel headers I have are not for SMP... [14:22] coldboot: only in older Ubuntu releases (most newer releases are SMP by default unless -386 is installed) [14:22] what's really annoying is that I had it all working, for a few hours, and then an X restart killed it. [14:22] coldboot: 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' [14:22] or maybe a reboot - can't remember. [14:23] erUSUL: I know the obvious. [14:23] bulmer: i just want a german keyboard layout after startup, xmodmap is a bit of overkill [14:23] mikecamel: prolly rebooted your computer.. [14:23] yup [14:23] crimsun_: Ah okay, so VMware is just stupid. [14:23] anyone? [14:23] bloony? [14:23] I've reinstalled ubuntu and when I did this I deleted all of the partitions and I get "error 15" in the bootloader.. when I installed I choosed to install the boot loader (and I left it default at (hd0))... but on the "ready to install" window where it talkes about the harddrives it talkes about the hd as sda and not hd0.. should I set it to install the bootloader on sda instead? or should I do something else? help! :) [14:24] bloony: scsi hard drives? [14:24] bloony: you have scsi instead of ide? [14:24] nope [14:24] or [14:24] hmm [14:24] maybe? [14:24] you sure? [14:24] its a laptop [14:24] I have another issue... I have a windows vista partition that mounts as /media/sda1. I would like to format it and use it as a brand new ext3. Is there a way I could o that from in ubuntu? [14:24] keitherz_: not sure really, read the upstart link from the bot... it should have the information somewhere [14:24] sounds like you need to use sda instead [14:24] mikecamel: look at this... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42568/ [14:24] aah [14:24] ok [14:24] fevel: gparted [14:24] bloony: sda [14:24] so just (sda) then? [14:24] many times the kernel will see an IDE drive as a SCSI, it's all in the driver... [14:24] mikecamel: pastebin your lspci also [14:25] sda0 or whatever [14:25] ebirtaid: I should boot from the gparted cd right? [14:25] a person I know got banned for some reason from this channel, how does he get unbanned [14:25] you need to give a partition designation [14:25] Tach zusammen [14:25] blakeg - you think I should try adding those changes? [14:25] ppl need help, how can i change the video drivers in text mode? [14:25] fevel: yes or you can unmount it and run gparted on it [14:25] mikecamel: no, pastebin your LSPCI output first, then ill see what needs to be added [14:25] When I click shutdown, my PC appears to power down, but then turns on again after 3 seconds. It's an IBM IntelliStation M Pro with Ubuntu 7.10, any idea why it does this? [14:26] mikecamel: i dont think your video card is being configged correctly [14:26] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42569/ [14:26] so I set it to one of the partitions I set up in the partition sofware then.. ? [14:26] ppl need help, how can i change the video drivers in text mode? [14:26] ebirtaid: one last thing...this partition was a vista one...it even has entries on grub. There is no easy way to do this right? I WILL have to edit grub and fstab [14:26] mikecamel: this is not good... Device "Generic Video Card" [14:26] hello! my wireless (ipw3945) is recognized and the module is loaded, but the system doesnt asks me for a password and it doesnt connect... im using gutsy, does anyone has any idea how to solve it?

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) [14:27] yea you are going to have to edit at the very least fstab, you would just have a non-working entry in grub if you dont edit your menu.lst [14:27] damn don't paste here [14:27] mikecamel: it should say something like... nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400 GS.. which is what your LSPCI showed [14:27] GuHHH-> do you get an ip address once you connect you? [14:27] it doesnt connect [14:28] mikecamel: what version of the nvidia drivers did you install? 100.14.19?

[14:36] does anyone know how to send a "read confirmation" in thunderbird after initially having clicked "cancel" on a new message [14:36] This is rather strange.

I have installed Ati's drivers for my Mobile X1600, and when I try to enable desktop effects in Ubuntu (which is compiz right?), it says that it cannot be enabled. How to fix this?

[14:44] Thanks for all your help. :> [14:44] mikecamel: so, 8400GS, nvidia 104.14.11 drivers installed, where to now? [14:44] dt06pe3: are you running fglx? [14:44] indeed. [14:44] Hi, I've just booted from the live CD (7.10) and just about as soon as I log in and get the desktop it logs out again without warning - anyone else had this? [14:44] mikecamel: try completely blowing out your xorg.conf and running nvidia-xconfig again and make a new one [14:45] hokay. [14:45] mikecamel: then pastebin that guy at me please [14:45] cua0: yep [14:45] how do i find out if i have libc.so.6 [14:45] dt06pe3: and you have all the compiz stuff installed? [14:45] cua0: but after reinstalling the drivers, fglrxinfo says Mesa instead of Ati... [14:45] i am not able to connect to wifi via ubuntu, all other windows laptops could connect to wifi, for some strange reason [14:45] any ideas? [14:46] cua0: well, its part of the ubuntu distro, so I guess yes [14:46] mikecamel: wait wait wait!! i just saw something [14:46] the ip, gateway, everything is fine [14:46] what do I write in the Terminal if I want to see how much RAM I have? [14:46] i could even ping the router, but it is not internet [14:46] dt06pe3: i had to install it seperately in gutsy [14:46] cua0: hmm, I'll check it out [14:47] dt06pe3: it shouldn't say mesa though [14:47] please, I want a help: how I install files in my Plam by GNOME-PILOT? (I can syncronize my to do list and address.. but I dont know how I install *.prc or *.pdb br GNOME-PILOT)... please, some help! [14:47] HenriqueGogo: google it [14:47] cua0: compiz is installed... and it said ati before, but after installing the official drivers it says mesa [14:48] dt06pe3: you need to select the ati card in system > administration > screens and graphics [14:48] freezey... I google it... but dont find nothing [14:48] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42575/ [14:48] mikecamel: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42574/ i had to fix something, i mistyped lines 61 and 62 in the old version [14:48] blakeg - it just gives me the evil "low-graphics mode" dialog, even this one from nvidia [14:49] dt06pe3: might not work with the official drivers, use the restricted drivers and fglrx and it will work [14:49] mikecamel: okay, let me load that one up real quick [14:49] ebirtaid: I also use it for transferring songs, but you can't transfer pictures with gtkpod, can you ? [14:49] how can i tell what drives i have installed in my system? even if i dont have them mounted? [14:49] dt06p3: it could be because you run xgl (which compiz uses), it will make fglrxinfo say Mesa, even though you run fgl. (This is according to a buddy, and I had the same thing happen.) [14:49] I have used it for video, not sure about pics though [14:49] what program can i use to compress an ogg video?

[15:21] something that doesn't have too many outside deps [15:21] I hate packaging the dependencies too [15:21] all i found was that there might be a bug with kernel 2.6.22 [15:21] Nyle: it's seldom you need to package more than one package...

[15:24] that means I'll have to install sid [15:24] question: on 7.04 i used a low latency kernel when gaming, its not in 7.10, or at least with that name, anyone knows what happened to it, and or wich of the currently availible kernels give me best preformance while gaming [15:24] i just looked up info on my motherboard and it says 2x184 pin ddr dimm max 2.gb and ddr 333.

Mount: you must specify the filesystem type [15:47] peepsalot: you missed the question [15:47] same one you use to do anything [15:48] how can I format a harddisk partition as cd?

It's usually read-only [15:48] peepsalot: as i said, i'm buzzing on redbulls trying to follow too many convos at once [15:48] i don't even mess with totem, just use vlc [15:48] cua0, np [15:49] cua0: when i used media/cdrom mount: block device dev/hdc is write protected, mounting read only. Mount: you must specify the filesystem type [15:49] kl4m, I need to format a partition as cd to burn an iso to the partition [15:49] John_R, well the beeping is gone, but it seems I do not have sound at all then... === Blackgoth is now known as blackgoth === blackgoth is now known as Blackgoth [15:49] vegananarchist, man mount [15:49] if you have to use totem vuku, you can get the xine backend through the add/remove applications feature [15:49] Anywone who knows why I get "ReadExact: Socket error while reading" when trying to connect to my Ubuntu Gutsy box from Windows tightvnc?

[15:50] ok fair enough :P [15:50] blizzkid: You could boot it from grub even if it was another filesystem that a cd filesystem(iso960), such as ext2 [15:50] hey, i'm having a brain fart, where's the syslog hiding? [15:51] i get the following error when i run ./configure. checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [15:51] You can just boot ext2/ext3 instead.

Help needed to fix a network trouble: I installed Ubuntu7.04 and I was using ndiswrapper, instead of bugged module 'sis190', for a motherboard-integrated ethernet NIC.

After dist-ugrade to Ubuntu7.10, networking is working on only in my local network, connection can't be routed to internet by my ADSL router, can't resolv anything... also if /etc/network/interfaces, ifconfig, r [15:52] oute, resolv.conf... all seems ok. Any hints, please????? [15:52] peepsalot: more then once to be sure, and w/ more then one smtp server [15:52] vignesh: i'd check the dependancies for gcc g++ and all the other compilers [15:52] vegananarchist, honestly i don't have the mount command syntax memorized, i'd have to read the man pages, in which case it's probably more efficient for you to read them yourself [15:53] Still strugling with the installation of mbr.. can anyone help me?

[15:54] sanguisdex, any particular error message you are getting? [15:54] SNy, there has to be a way to format the partition as iso9660, as described in these instructions [15:54] dd-ing doesn't sound comfortable [15:54] bloony: if you are trying to do it from windows [15:54] boot with the install cd [15:54] then fdisk /MBR [15:55] hello!

[16:12] 2nd day on linux [16:12] proftpd or ws-ftp [16:12] f0rgeIf`: ftpd [16:12] perhaps you should read up on ubuntu and linux then? [16:12] f0rgeIf`: i like vsftpd but typically these days i just use ssh and scp or sftp [16:12] when i fel like it later [16:12] ill just do this later [16:12] vsftpd even :D [16:12] stefg: http://dynebolic.org/manual/x181.htm explains it [16:12] i agree - once ya learn to use ssh - why bother with ftp. :) [16:12] riotkittie: it's about a broken /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default script that causes that [16:12] would you try to take out your kidney without looking at at least a diagram first?

[16:12] sorry, my brain disconnected there for a second [16:12] f0rgeIf`: vsftp or proftp [16:13] AH solved my problem, there was nothing under "Command" in Window Decoration in ccsm [16:13] so just learn all about ubuntu? then come back? [16:13] hello can anoybody tell me what i should do if i've just wrote a kernel patch for ubuntu ? [16:13] ok.. asking again.. I've deleted the windows partition and now grub wont boot ubuntu.. getting "error 15" .. I also get this msg when I do "find /boot/grub/stage1" in the grub interface.. [16:13] vegananarchist: what actually is it though? [16:13] vukuheart: what file system are you trying to mount? [16:13] vuku: there are some basics you gotta understand [16:13] vukuheart: ntfs? [16:13] i want to load it up somewhere [16:13] pike: he's noot trying to mount anything [16:13] bengl: what'd you end up putting/ [16:13] vegananarchist: if it's an NTFS disk, you can't really write to it [16:13] I really need help, i have less than an hour to get my paper out of the computer that it is currenlty in. I just updated to xubuntu 7.10 and now the cd drives nor the usb ports will mount and it will not connect to the internet. I need one of these three things to get working so i can get my paper off the computer. [16:13] L0GAN: oh, you mean a persistant /home and stuff like that. possible, but lame [16:13] he's just trying to install vlc and is having issues because he doesn't remember his root pw [16:14] vegananarchist: ok, what *exactly* are you trying to do? [16:14] not persistant [16:14] vegan: when in doubt, do you have a copy of knoppix somewhere? [16:14] cua0: emerald --replace [16:14] vegananarchist: boot with the old feisty kernel [16:14] * riotkittie ponders copying things over from the other gutsy install, where everything works fine. [16:14] yeah go the livecd [16:14] right now i'm trying to get the cd rom drive to work so i can burn a disk with my paper on it [16:14] stefg persistant stores only settings (like 'nesting' in Dynebolic) and I havent gotten it to work even [16:14] hey all - does anyone know a way to autologin on a server install (ie, no GDM)? I've tried a bunch of howtos all showing the same method, and none work in Gutsy. [16:14] hmm :/ [16:15] the only reason i went with ubuntu is cause i couldnt find laptops drivers for sound and everything else [16:15] bengl: thanks, you helped me as well by discovering that. [16:15] but when i put in a cd, it does not mount. [16:15] cua0: though you can logically deduce that gtk-window-decorator --replace would work as well [16:15] bengl: saved me some hunting anyways :) [16:15] vegananarchist, boot from it? [16:15] L0GAN: there's several howtos on that on the net. But if you need persistant settings, why not just install ? :-) [16:15] vegananarchist: why are you trying to mount the CD if you want to burn stuff to it? [16:15] from a live cd? [16:15] ok, vuku, did you remember changing anything to the file /etc/sudoers ? [16:15] ok, I just did a fresh install of the new ubuntu on a lappy, did a software install of sshd, what do I do to get it to let me in? (I am running between this office and the one the lappy is plugged into)? [16:15] is there any facial recognition software available for ubuntu [16:15] nox-Hand: test [16:15] i think it best to completely understand windows then come to linux [16:15] meh [16:15] you don't need to [16:15] vukuheart: why? [16:15] stefg I tried them all and it didnt work, no settings appeared to be remembered for me [16:15] bokeh: i doubt it [16:15] actually, it's detrimental [16:15] exit [16:16] gordonjcp: becasue the cd rom drive is not showing up when i try to burn to disk [16:16] anyone know , how to change locale in ubuntu? I want to set cp1251 [16:16] sacater: Gotcha [16:16] indeed [16:16] can anyone see this message? [16:16] people will get forced into old habits [16:16] aha [16:16] Hi there, i have a question for ya.

[16:16] cause its to much of a botehr to get used to linux right now [16:16] I've deleted the windows partition and now grub wont boot ubuntu.. getting "error 15" .. I also get this msg when I do "find /boot/grub/stage1" in the grub interface.. when installing I've tried to set it to install bootloader to hd0, sda and sda1 (since I got a scsi disk) [16:16] I also pointed nmap at the box and all the ports ar4e filtered [16:16] to much crap goinbg on around my life to get to know an OS before getting a new job [16:16] gordonjcp: ok, how should i go about getting stuff off this computer [16:17] stefg: docking just continues booting the live cd from a faster medium, the CD is only used as boot [16:17] do you need to know linux for your job? [16:17] vegananarchist: have you got a USB drive? [16:17] which one OS or NEW JOB is better? [16:17] gordonjcp: yes [16:17] bloony: your menu.lst points to teh wrong partition Now tht the win-part is gone, all numbers are one down [16:17] bloony: have you tried sda0 [16:17] vegananarchist: stick it on that, then [16:17] you are the one on IRC so the answer is obvious ;p [16:17] How could i get the glslideshow screensaver to show the images i want? [16:17] ??? wait what? [16:17] gordonjcp: but the usb drives are not mounting either when i put in the pen drive [16:17] hey all - does anyone know a way to autologin on a server install (ie, no GDM)? I've tried a bunch of howtos all showing the same method, and none work in Gutsy. [16:17] hold on [16:17] you're not out getting a job so learning the OS must be more important [16:18] L0GAN: ubuntu has a different focus. it's no Live CD distro [16:18] vegananarchist: hmm [16:18] vegananarchist: stick the USB drive in and at a terminal type "dmesg" [16:18] John_r: hum.. no.. [16:18] shearn89 you want it to auto login to the shell basicially? [16:18] vegananarchist: see if it mentions anything about SCSI disks, or "/dev/sd" [16:18] stefg i kinda liked the thing you could take your OS with you to other PC's [16:19] does anyone else have this problem in gutsy, using rhythmbox to listen to internet radio, the song title will not automatically update. I have to restart the stream every time I want to update it [16:19] I did an upgrade with do-release-upgrade and it got interrupted. Now my system doesn't fully boot up (no xdm, no ssh daemon, etc). I tried to rerun do-release-upgrade but it failed. Is there a way to force rerunning of whatever scripts should be run to get my system in a working state? [16:19] Dr_Willis: yeah, i've already got it to autostart my X session, i just can't login automatically... [16:19] L0GAN: get a 2 GB usb stick and install xubuntu or a 4GB for full blown ubuntu [16:19] stefg: but I deleted every partition.. [16:19] but how can I check what my hd realy is? [16:19] if its sda or hda? [16:19] How do I extract .bz2 files? [16:19] shearn89, Dr_Willis. I'm interested in this also. I don't want to have to login on local shells anymore on the servers. [16:19] bloony: so you deleted the whole disk and ask yourself why you can't boot ???? [16:19] lshw [16:20] bloony, sudo fdisk -l ? [16:20] you deleted every partition?! and are trying to boot? [16:20] stefg lol [16:20] the mind. it boggles. [16:20] gordonjcp: i don't see anything for scsi disks, but i got errors for hdc [16:20] f0rgeIf`, tar jxf file.bz2 [16:20] stefg: yes but as I said I installed unbutu.. making new partitions ofcourse.. [16:20] if i want to remove ubuntu-desktop now that I have kubuntu install will apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop do it? [16:20] kl4m: I'm running a server install with openbox, and i don't want to have to log in each time i start - takes too long... [16:20] benkon: check psychocats.net [16:20] there is a howto for removing gnome [16:21] peepsalot: thx [16:21] ebirtaid: ok thank [16:21] stefg I tried those but my pc wont allow me to boot from usb stick. Maybe an bios upgrade might fix that but it costs 30$ for an upgrade, almost as much as a new board [16:21] gordonjcp: i have a copy of DSL laying around, should i go through dsl and grab the files i need> [16:21] bloony: i guess the partition delete left a mess and your partition table is broken. Would it be reasonable to just reinstall, starting with a /real/ blank disk ? [16:21] kl4m: Dr_Willis I've tried editing /etc/event.d/tty1, but it fails to start properly if i add in "-n -1 /usr/bin/autologin" [16:21] vegan thatmight be quicker [16:22] does anyone know dsl pretty well, i'm still learning it? [16:22] L0GAN: you can still try sbm, or a boot floppy [16:22] hello there [16:22] #dsl [16:22] shearn89 sounds like to me you are doing a lot of busy work to avoid gdm, or entering your password. :) you could just spawn the X session from rc.local [16:22] !sbm | L0GAN [16:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about sbm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:22] stefg: but thats what Ive done.. and it still doesnt work [16:22] vegan: do you have a knoppix live cd anywhere? if so, it should mount your USB drive and let you copy your files over. that should take care of you for the short term [16:23] i know, mortal sin advising another distro to help out... [16:23] anyone here have any experience with tablet pcs? [16:23] bloony: what kind of machine is that? [16:23] stefg I deleted all the partitions and made new ones and installed ubuntu aain but didnt work.. [16:23] i don't have knoppix, i have damn small linux [16:23] Dr_Willis: would that work? just put startx in rc.local? I avoid gdm, as it has a whole load of gnome dependencies, and I want to see how quickly I can get from cold to desktop.... [16:23] DSL and the "System Rescue Live CD" are must haves in a PC toolbox. :) [16:23] stefg: fujitsu siemens c1320d laptop [16:23] How can I disable alt + left mouse ??

[16:23] shearn89: Dr_Willis Theres that. I could start a bare X Session with a root terminal. Any quick configuration for this [16:23] stefg i'm hopeless. dont have a floppy drive atm :( [16:23] lo all, i get SIOCADDRT: File exists [16:24] shearn89 you will need to start the X session as the proper user. (with sudo perhaps) Why worry about boot times.. when you can have 5+months of uptimes.. :) [16:24] has anyone figured out a way to get .wma files to work in Amarok? i'm on 7.10, but i can't find a xine backend package that has wma support :( [16:24] stefg: but Im gonna try to install again using sda0... Ive tried sda and sda1.. didt know there was a sda0.. do you think that will do it? [16:24] Dr_Willis: my laptop has no battery life left (10mins tops), so i have to shutdown/reboot a lot... [16:24] nastypinata, have you installed restricted format support? [16:25] bloony: are you on live CD now? [16:25] ehy guys, how do i add an account to samba via command line ? [16:25] nastypinata, I have no first-hand experience w/ wma files, that is just where I would start [16:25] stefg: yes [16:25] is there a way to set a mount point on a sshfs mount? [16:25] archangel_ you can set an existing accunts samba password with sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME [16:25] archangel_ that may let you make new ones also. Never tried that. [16:25] cblack: oh! good call! what's the package called? [16:26] Dr_Willis, when i try that it says " can not find user" [16:26] bloony: has your bios some 'antivirus' protection that might prevent the harddisk bootsector to be overwritten ? [16:26] stefg: hum.. that might be? [16:26] bloony: you still struggle with that MBR? [16:26] archangel_ as i said. It may only work for users you have allready added with adduser.

[16:27] bloony: well stefg is the man to help you.. [16:27] <3 cblack, i can't believe i didn't think of that [16:27] nastypinata, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [16:27] who knows DSL very well [16:27] archangel_ you need to be root to add a new user. since its a major system type task. :) [16:27] vegananarchist: type "mount" and pastebin the result [16:27] cblack: yeah, i just found it. [16:27] stefg: yupp it is blanked out.. Ive deleted the partitions and installed like 5 times now :p [16:27] Dr_Willis, sudo adduser : then smbpasswd -a pass ? [16:28] hi, i have a trouble with a bttv module and would like to uninstall/remove it from startup because my PC hangs up since I installed that module [16:28] archangel_ you must tell smbpasswd the username also. :) [16:28] archangel_ but thats close. [16:28] albech: yupp seems like it :) [16:28] bloony: get a terminal and run sudo fdisk -l . paste the result to !pastebin [16:28] !paste | bloony [16:28] bloony: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[17:18] Poul|Raider: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1327586/posts may work for you [17:18] truggl: here :) [17:18] blakeg, how do i ensure that Ubuntu doesnt touch Vista partition? [17:18] FluxD: OK, was wondering if I was asking in the wrong place :-) [17:18] come on people. anyone for help here in pm?? [17:18] cizarr, use the manual partitioning :D [17:19] that's what i thought actually [17:19] whats wrong with my qjackctl look? http://img233.imageshack.us/my.php?image=kuvakaappausjackaudiocoyl2.png [17:19] riotkittie, yes i have them ccsm i was using it but didnt know it is its short name :) but still have the problem [17:20] cizarr, manually partition [17:20] no sakis_ser please ask your question in the main chat, if anyone can help, they will answer [17:20] cizarr, what problem u had with manual partition [17:21] cizarr: how big is the hard drive you are trying to install ubuntu on [17:23] i can't see the cp1251 characters in Movie PLayer [17:23] on #ubuntu-ru peoples are too lazy to help me [17:23] people* [17:23] sergo: too lazy? [17:24] yes [17:24] ) [17:24] sergo: try asking your question here then [17:25] has anyone tried full disk encryption in ubuntu 7.10? [17:26] what's the minimum GPU needed to get the nice Compiz effects? [17:26] i tried it at least 10 times and it fails each time [17:26] will a lame integrated intel GMA thing work, or do I need a fancy ATI or nVidia card? [17:26] im getting the feeling that it's a failed attempt at debian lenny's encryption menu [17:26] which eventually worked for me (whereas this newer installer doesnt) [17:27] blackeg, i need probaly to genere windows cp-1251 locale, now i have UTF-8... === shimizu_zz is now known as shimizu [17:27] the menu crashes and then reloads. i go to partitioner and it freezes at 50% [17:27] does anyone know anything? [17:27] truggl, it depends, try it and find out is the best way to know [17:27] this is the official channel, right? [17:28] i am getting an issue when attempting to link to -lcrypt [17:28] hi, is there a document out there that will explain package management in a way that is clear and does not make any assumptions? [17:28] what package needs to be installed in order to be able to do so? [17:28] hsoj: apt-cache search crypt [17:28] MasterShrek: I'm referring to a Mobile Intel 915GMS Express; this is a Tablet PC which doesn't have a CD drive in it so I need to wait until I can borrow my friend's [17:28] adante, what do you want to know about package management? its not very complicated [17:28] sergo: in windows you need to generate a different what? [17:28] Can't test it until tomorrow :) [17:29] truggl, yes you should be fine [17:29] My $HOME/.beagle directory is currently 20GB (running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn) . Is it normal for Beagle to create search indexes this large? [17:29] MasterShrek: So I can get all the nice SFX, or just basics? [17:29] MasterShrek: New to 3D... [17:29] 20GB?! [17:29] Zippy2: i've gone through most of those, still not able to link properly [17:29] Or is that a bug? [17:29] blakeg, not in windows, in ubutnu=] [17:29] MasterShrek: so after developers of some project mark that project as stable, it basically must get in line for the 6-month release cycle for ubuntu before it is marked as stable inside ubuntu? [17:29] truggl, everything should work for ya, u may need to do something for the drivers or someting, but it should be pretty easy [17:30] hsoj: run ldconfig and make sure it's looking for the version you have. if it's old, try looking for an older package somewhere on google [17:30] sergo: im unfamiliar with the cp-1251 anyone else have an idea? [17:30] well [17:30] MasterShrek: also, i am trying to install a new package at hte moment, but (from what i can gather) its deps are still unstable, do i have any options? [17:30] i have libmcrypt-dev installed [17:30] adante, pretty much yes, but thats the best way to do it i suppose because just because the project devs mark it as stable doesnt mean its going to be stable in every circumstance [17:30] MasterShrek: Thanks! Now I just have to figure out how to make the touchscreen work [17:30] all i'm tryin to do, is compile w/ -lcrypt [17:30] passwd.c:(.text+0xa18): undefined reference to `crypt' [17:30] blakeg, one second [17:31] adante, well you cant install something without its dependencies, just doesnt work [17:31] MasterShrek, The Ubuntu 7.04 livecd didn't work, but hopefully the Gutsy version will work [17:31] touchscreenwise, I mean [17:31] truggl, that may work out of the box too, but im not 100% [17:31] never tried it... [17:31] Hi, im new att unix and im woundering why do i get desktop couldnt be enabled when trycing to choose at visuall Effects [17:31] MasterShrek: okay, is there any possibility of getting newer packages installed? or i read forum posts of people installing these packages i want to on their computers, how are they doing it? [17:31] is it possible for ubuntu to ignore xorg.conf and use a screen resolution that I don't event have listed in xorg.conf? because that is what seems to be happening with me [17:31] MasterShrek: Didn't work with Feisty; is there a way to enable it in xorg.conf or do I need to install a module? [17:32] blakegok thanks.. [17:32] marthin: You need to have a graphics card that works with Ubuntu for the visual effects to work [17:32] giving up again afk [17:32] MasterShrek: what are those people doing? rendering their systems unstable? [17:32] marthin: Either Ubuntu can't talk to your graphics card or your graphics card isn't powerful enough [17:32] joł [17:32] for ubuntu in italiano?? [17:32] adante, most likely, but if u can get around in linux well, thats not usually a problem [17:32] truggl: display: :0.0 screen: 0 [17:32] OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. [17:32] OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 [17:32] OpenGL version string: 2.0.6747 (8.40.4) [17:33] still doesnt work [17:33] ubuntu incredilble good job [17:33] adante, its not really making their system unstable as it is making certain software unstable by using newer and sometimes beta or alpha software [17:33] hey guys, can i just upgrade my kernel and alsa, only, to use that of gutsy's? i'm still on feisty. any howTo for this? :) [17:33] hei guys per ubuntu italiano???? [17:33] marthin: First result off google: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=342812 [17:33] adante, if you want to, you can use the source code to install things, but its never the best idea for new users [17:33] stefg: still here dude? [17:33] !it | manu__ [17:33] manu__: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [17:34] marthin: No graphics expert, but maybe there's a driver in there you need? [17:34] thanks [17:34] MasterShrek: right, so i guess i'm never sure whether the deps a program relies on is a support library used by other programs or just some standalone thing [17:34] my sound doesn't work 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) [17:34] hi all [17:34] MasterShrek: i mean would i be right in saying installing end-user software (eg in my case a bittorrent client) which is unstable is okay, but if its a core library then that could cause problems? [17:35] truggl: i have tried all the HowTo on the internet (feels like it anyway) [17:35] adante, it depends, most of the time the dependencies are used in other programs, but alot of the time you need to install a few extra things to make something work [17:35] marthin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=515573&highlight=Ati+Mobility+Radeon+X1600 might also work [17:35] could you guys take a quick look at this spec I created and suggest me how to get some developer attention to it? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendSeparateHome [17:35] adante, if it is a core library, i wuoldnt suggest it, what kind of torrent client would you be installing? [17:35] marthin: Well, I'm afraid I'm not the right person to ask :-S -- no graphics expert [17:35] does anyone know how to constraing maximized windows to one screen in a dual-monitor configuration under Gutsy? [17:35] MasterShrek: for example here, http://pastebin.com/m37068f48 <- so i should be looking at seeing if python-support 0.7.1 is unstable?? [17:36] samurai with nvidia cards - thats a feature of twinview. Ati has a similer thing I recall. [17:36] anyone ? [17:36] adante, is python-support 0.7.1 in the repos? [17:36] yo all ! [17:36] marthin: Try posting on the UbuntuForums.org website with what you've done and the relevant conf files. Maybe there'll be someone there who has your chip and a success story :) [17:36] Anyone know which version of Wine came stock with Feisty? [17:36] !info wine feisty [17:36] ok, thank anyway [17:36] wine: Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.33-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 9576 kB, installed size 44452 kB [17:37] Dr_Willis I hve the dual monitor running, but when I horizontally maximize a window it goes across both monitors [17:37] marthin: Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck... [17:37] how much space do i have to have if i want to install ubuntu ? +some appz [17:37] I would like to contstrain that to only one [17:37] thanks, now to install that i can use the feisty .deb? [17:37] samurai - yes. I understand.. It still depends on your video card. Enable Twinview if using Nviaia [17:37] even if I am on gusty? [17:38] shArk: Not much. You get a fair amount of stuff off a 700MB installer CD... works like a charm on a 20GB hard drive with about 10GB to spare with the basics installed (out of the box + drivers + codecs) [17:38] MasterShrek: apt-cache search says no but i don't really understand WHICH repos i am searching at the moment [17:38] What is Module vbe and dbe? [17:38] shArk: Good luck, gotta go [17:38] they're loaded from xorg.conf [17:38] adante, oh i see, well it appears there are a few things that are uninstallable, do you have universe and multiverse enabled? [17:38] truggl thx [17:38] actually Dr_Willis I do have twinview enabled [17:38] shArk: np [17:39] shArk: 5gb to simply experiment, 15gb minimum for actually doing something [17:39] Err... What are modules dbe and v4l [17:39] MasterShrek: yep [17:39] ne1 here use stock pickers on ubuntu? [17:39] Hey has anyone had any luck in getting compiz-fusion + nvidia's ximerama to work well? [17:39] samurai under gnome and kde both i can mazamize a window - and it pops to one monitor or the other. Which ever its got most covered. there are SOME apps that are really brain dead and when you fullsize them - they take both monitors [17:39] adante, why not just use deluge-torrent from the repositories? [17:39] MasterShrek: it's broken for me (doesn't download, just keeps start/pausing) [17:39] gnuskool: didn't there were any. [17:40] or any stock analysis software? [17:40] MasterShrek: i spoke to the devs and they said it has been fixed in 5.5.95 (and 5.6) [17:40] adante, try a different mirror maybe [17:40] samurai some brain dead apps i know of are - a lot of java apps. vmware, and xmame [17:40] DR_Willis are you running under Gutsy? This behavior change in the last release... also all panels now span both moniors [17:40] MasterShrek: try a different mirror for installing deluge-torrent? [17:40] Hey-- anyone have CUPS printing expertise here? [17:40] samurai after i enabled twinview i HAD to restart the X server competely [17:40] Can I install packages from Feisty or Edgy on Gusty? [17:40] gnuskool: like what? [17:41] adante, yea, change your repository mirrors [17:41] Dr_Willis I got that... I've had twinview enabled for the last 6 months of gutsy testing [17:41] samurai i also seem to recall tweaking the xorg.conf with the nvidia-* tools. NOT the gnome/ubuntu display manager tools [17:41] Hello... since installing Gutsy on my laptop and using the built-in restricted drivers manager I have been getting the following error every couple of seconds: cm43xx: FATAL ERROR: BCM43xx_IRQ_XMIT_ERROR - anyone have any insight on this? [17:41] navaburo: depends on the app, but in most cases no [17:41] chovy: there's gotta be, im not aware of any either, but there's got to be some, i got a recent interest in stocks is all [17:41] samurai other then that - not sure what to tell you to check. Only issue ive seen with it so far is GDM starts on the wrong moniotr forme. [17:41] davidthedrake: what card? [17:41] Dr_Willis thanks for the response... [17:42] hi everybody [17:42] navaburo: Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02 [17:42] gnuskool: i use the screener on morningstar [17:42] are there free drivers? [17:42] hello all [17:42] if so try them [17:42] like I said this one changed at the formal release time, not just for me but I'm trying to resolve this one [17:42] adante: deluge is in the cananonical repos [17:42] i'm trying to run compiz (fusion? - Ubuntu Gutsy) and I get a few errors and compiz falls back to metacity... the last error is Checking for non power of two support: Not present. is there anything I can do? (this is Xorg on a S3 card "savage") [17:42] anyway Thanks [17:42] davidthedrake: ohh, that works for you? [17:42] murlidhar: sorry what does that mean [17:42] davidthedrake, http://pastebin.com/m37068f48 download that file and extract it to /lib/firmware [17:42] murlidhar: (or where is this explained?) [17:43] adante: i am searching for the link [17:43] davidthedrake: tried to get that working on the livecd to no avail [17:43] chovy: i was just on morningstar, they have a screener?i'll check it out, im using the swedish version, cant understand swedish very well, let me dig up the english version [17:43] Anyone ever seen the error "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed"? [17:43] davidthedrake, actually, that may not work now that i notice its revision 02, but its still worth a shot [17:43] murlidhar: do you mean the actual deluge repos? [17:43] no [17:43] MasterShrek: i am using archive.ubuntu.com right now, is this not the most up to date? [17:43] Quake Wars in linux <3 [17:43] I have a problem with a Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop with gutsy : sound support is messed up -> general slider controls treebles while pcm slider controls internal subwoofer... Is there a fix ?? [17:43] pdelgado i recall Someone in here menting how the s3 cards cant use some modes/bitdepths properly - they have to be tweaked manually.. thats all i rember. :) you may want to check the forums [17:44] Hrm. K. Thanks for the help folks. That gives me some more things to try. [17:44] pdelgado just somthing i overheard while hanging in here the other day. [17:44] DaMastah: first thing id do is a google search of forums like 'site:ubuntuforums.org problem' also launchpad maybe [17:44] Dr_Willis, thanks :) [17:45] adante: u have it in the add/remove programs anyways === juanez- is now known as juanez [17:45] !raid [17:45] murlidhar: i have what exactly?

[17:46] pike : already did, found nothing :( [17:46] adante: look at point 4 [17:46] dont try taht [17:46] grunger: why would you want to do that? [17:46] Lava, exactly what it says, your router is probably blocking that port [17:46] why try to delete the main file system files? [17:46] thx, MasterShrek how do i fix it? [17:46] IGNORE GRUNGER __ that would break your machine [17:47] Jimdb, ompaul I presume that's a (bad) attempt at a joke. grunger: you should know better [17:47] Lava, access your router and open that port [17:47] aglet, it is now banned [17:47] aglet, nice name, hes gone. [17:47] anyone wanna help me with a sound problem in éa dell Inspiron 9300 [17:47] ? [17:47] On the Ubuntu Live CD, what's the default root password? [17:47] !root [17:47] 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 [17:48] Thecks: empty [17:48] Thecks, there is none [17:48] I work fixing computers and removing viruses...so I know he was being stupid. I just wanted to point out to others that he was trying to have them delete their main files. Only issue I have now is how to get rid of him as a virus.

[17:48] hey, I have a problem with wifi; how can I make the settings in the "panel applet" work at boot time? I am trying to translate the info I put into its dialog box into a stanza for /etc/network/interfaces, and failing... [17:48] Anyone know anything about that error during an install? [17:48] dang, ompaul, is that in a auto hightlight :) [17:49] Lava, you need to access your actual router and forward that port to your local ip [17:49] nickrud, na [17:49] adante: the commercial repos are not being included in the sources.list since at lot of linux users don't agree . so to make it easy for the newbie linux users they have put the repos in add/remove or in synaptic [17:49] I have Ubuntu 7.10 and I installed wine 0.9.47. Whenever I run winecfg, it shows no c drive. I tried to add/autodetect it with no available [17:49] is it possible for me to remove those little icons on the menu? [17:49] MasterShrek, to say it in Monthy Python-language: you speak in riddles old man :) [17:49] murlidhar: so canonical == commercial repos or what? [17:49] adante: yes [17:49] murlidhar: sorry i'm not sure exactly what you are getting at because deluge-torrent is not afaik commercial [17:50] Lava, it made perfect sense, no riddles [17:50] murlidhar: at least if it is its odd that 5.4 is in the ubuntu base repos unless i guess they went commercial after .5.5 or something [17:50] masteri believe you, but i dont get it [17:50] how do i change it [17:50] adante: but it has not been included in the universal repos [17:50] canonical sells support and other services. the operating system will always remain free. it says that on their home page adante. [17:50] adante: atleast in this distro [17:51] hi all! could anybody help me providing information about installation issues on a Flybook A33i?? THe Flybook A33i is a TabletPC with no internal CD drive. thus the only way to install Ubuntu should be by creating a bootable USB flash disk. Anyone tried it or knows how? [17:51] but if u want to install deluge the best way would be to install from add/remove applications [17:51] adante: ^ [17:51] sakis_ser: you can also install from the hard drive [17:51] !install [17:51] Jimdb: yeah it does, but as i couldn't find anything about the repositories per se, i thought i would ask instead of jumping to conclusions [17:51] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[17:52] murlidhar: sorry add-remove applications is.. synaptic? [17:52] no [17:52] sakis_ser: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ [17:52] see in application > add/remove [17:53] is it possible for ubuntu to ignore xorg.conf and use a screen resolution that I don't event have listed in xorg.conf? because that is what seems to be happening with me [17:53] murlidhar: sorry where is this add/remove application [17:53] s [17:53] adante: in applications menu at the bottom [17:53] hello [17:53] !hi | doubled [17:53] doubled: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! [17:54] thank you :D [17:54] or are you bots :( [17:54] :P [17:54] !ubotu [17:54] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [17:54] murlidhar: okay so, i searched for deluge and it found nothing, do i have to add the canonical repos? [17:54] ah :) [17:54] murlidhar: and will doing so interfere with installation of my other software? [17:54] so murli is real ;D [17:54] adante: look at the top right side [17:55] Jimdb, I already consulted pendrivelinux, but it requires a USB that can be formated to be bootable by certain software. Having tried it, I can't say that I did it. [17:55] adante: select all available applications [17:55] doubled: hi [17:55] nm-applet keeps asking to unlock the gnome keyring (while I have pam keyring installed), broke on gutsy update. Anyone have an idea how to fix it? [17:55] doubled: most are real of 1350 users are real [17:55] doubled: :) [17:55] http://www.deluge-torrent.org/ [17:55] the installation method through HDD seems more plausible but to be honest I'm concerned as with my existing HDD data (I have the same problem with Windows installation!) [17:55] murlidhar: ah right - can i tell which version of deluge-torrent this is? [17:55] so, is it possible for ubuntu to somehone ignore xorg.conf? [17:56] is there a way to get the screen resolution applet to recognize xorg.conf changes? [17:56] adante: now did u find it? i guess 0.5.5 === Yanch0 is now known as Yancho [17:56] deluge is in the universe networking section of the ubuntu repositories. [17:56] Jimdb: are u sure [17:57] yeah, i just looked at it in synaptic. [17:57] edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to uncomment the universe repositories. [17:57] murlidhar: okay, well that was... fun i guess, but my whole intention was to install, or find out my options for installing (if infact my system would be rendered 'unstable') 0.5.6 :] [17:58] adante: made unstable by deluge? [17:58] :? [17:58] Jimdb: made unstable but deluge's deps [17:59] so, my upgrade sort of hosed my system. It now is not starting everything on boot, no xdm, no ssh, etc. In addition, I can not login on any account, even local ones. Networking did come up. What is the best way to repair this? I am thinking some sort of repair install via cd? [17:59] so if you guys want to install an unstable app, what is generally the procedure? [18:00] i mean suppose i want a single app to be installed without rendernig my whole system unstable, is this possible? [18:00] adante: you can see the dependencies list in synaptic. after adding universe find deluge and right click on it. it will have a properties menu. when slected properties will show you a dialogbox with tabs. One of those tabs is "dependencies" you can review those. [18:00] Jimdb: do u know the list of applications in the canonical repos? [18:00] am i supposed to add unstable repos, try to update, then remove them? [18:00] How can I make wget show speed while downloading? [18:00] nm-applet keeps asking to unlock the gnome keyring (while I have pam keyring installed), broke on gutsy update. Anyone have an idea how to fix it? [18:00] I already tried apt-get check and it shows ok, apt-get -f install also shows nothing to be updated [18:01] for some strange reason skype, isn't in the start menu after i installed fluxbox. how can i fix that? [18:01] did you ever install programs willy nilly under windows? if so you risked the same thing. I have deluge installed and my system is stable. I don't use it much these days. It has other bugs. [18:01] anyone use squashfs with lzma? [18:01] Jimdb: okay, so i guess the point is, the version of deluge i want is not in repos, although i have a .deb, the deps conflict with versions, am i still able to install it? [18:02] Hello [18:02] adante: if u want to install the unstable app then u could also compile the application from source. That would take some time to learn [18:02] anyone use squashfs with lzma? [18:02] sjovan, try starting it from a terminal and see if it gives you any useful information === b4d_ is now known as b4d [18:03] adante: azureus is a bit torrent client for linux that is based on java. or are you just looking to download a simple torrent instead of downloading tons of torrents and having lots of options? [18:03] adante: yes u can install the deb even if it is newer than in the repos [18:03] adante: also getdeb has some up to date software [18:03] ktorrent is good also adante [18:04] Jimdb: yeah installed programs willy nilly under windows, the programs did often suck but it generally didn't render my whole system unstable [18:04] since i am not in linux now can anybody confirm if qbittorrent is in the repos? [18:04] adante: i'm currently giving deluge a chance (i used to use utorrent+wine) [18:04] Jimdb: yeah not a fan of azureus, and yeah i will have a lot of torrents running [18:05] nm-applet keeps asking to unlock the gnome keyring (while I have pam keyring installed), broke on gutsy update. Anyone have an idea how to fix it? [18:05] Can please someone help me with a Inspiron 1520 and sound? [18:05] adante: I doubt you'd run into the same thing installing linux programs. Linux is much more compartmentalized in order to keep you from messing things up or one program messing things up. [18:05] MasterShrek: had a bad experience with ktorrent so not going to touch that one again [18:05] so, my upgrade sort of hosed my system. It now is not starting everything on boot, no xdm, no ssh, etc. In addition, I can not login on any account, even local ones. Networking did come up. What is the best way to repair this? I am thinking some sort of repair install via cd? [18:05] I already tried apt-get check and it shows ok, apt-get -f install also shows nothing to be updated [18:05] erUSUL: i also use utorrent+wine, but i'd like to try deluge if i can figure out how to get 0.5.6 installed [18:05] adante: where did you get the .deb file from? I will go look at it. [18:06] adante: i tried that version but it core dumped on me :( (got it in getdeb) [18:06] Jimdb: http://deluge-torrent.org/downloads-ubuntu [18:06] adante, why? ktorrent is great, transmission-gtk is also pretty good [18:06] adante: so i'm now using the one in the repos [18:06] MasterShrek: last time i used ktorrent it would connect to the tracker and attempt to scrape every single torrent on the tracker, basically using all my bandwidth for no reason :] [18:06] I've used fluxtorrent which is web based, pretty neat [18:07] or torrentflux, I forget [18:07] torrentflux [18:07] MasterShr: no, no info at all [18:07] MasterShrek: that in itself was annoying, the fact that the version had been out for ages and doing this and there was basically nothing on the site that said it (only found out after speaking to devs) made me decide i do not really trust it any more :] [18:07] but it did work as a charm... [18:07] Jimdb: i am using the 7.10 for i386 system, fwiw [18:07] murlidhar: p qtorrent - graphical BitTorrent client using Qt 3.x [18:07] adante: mine says an older version is available in the channel and that I should use the older version because it is better supported. Is that what you are getting? [18:08] oi? [18:08] oi [18:08] erUSUL: thanks so it is there [18:08] erUSUL: tried the one in reps, hilariously it has a tendency to pause my downloads every 8-12 seconds :] (sort of like ktorrent in that torrent downloading is fundamentally broken but at least it is documented) [18:08] Jimdb: um, no, when i try to install i get this [18:08] Jimdb: uh hangon, i lost the pastebin [18:08] is getmail the same service as sendmail? [18:08] is it an email server? [18:09] adante: http://pastebin.com/m37068f48 [18:09] fevel, i dont know for sure, but i would say one sends mail and one gets mail [18:09] :) [18:09] We're the #ubuntu-effects channel go? [18:09] fevel: iirc is similar to fetchmail (only dl mail) [18:09] help! my feisty 'perfect setup' for ispConfig is not sending any emails. It does receive them via squirrelmail [18:09] murlidhar: thanks [18:09] MilitantPotato: its being redirected presently.. maybe forever i dunno [18:09] ah. [18:10] Jimdb: i get this: http://pastebin.com/m37068f48 - well, this was for 0.5.5.95 but the 0.5.6 is asically identical (i can reproduce if you want) [18:10] adante: sounds like the dependencies don't exist on your system. that means the files are missing. the download you linked me to brings with it a 3.4mb file. that means the dependencies aren't included in that file. I would try to download the older version then try to install that newer version provided by the developer. [18:10] Is anyone using ATI 8.42.3 drivers and Compiz and having firefox/movies cause xorg to use 100% cpu? [18:11] adante: the older version found in the universe repository [18:11] Jimdb: okay, cheers [18:11] Jimdb: the python-suport thing seems to be the stability issue i was alluding to, but i'll give it a go [18:11] adante: in the ..... === joerlend__ is now known as XiXaQ [18:12] Jimdb: hm but i stand corrected, 0.5.6 seems to have installed fine [18:13] hi there, I've got duplicated messages in evolution, after migrating from thunderbird... is there any easy way to fix that? [18:13] adante: in the .deb file when you double click on it, it brings up a dialog box. that box has 3 tabs. one tab is "included files". reviewing the files there tells me that the dependencies are missing from the files. the program's author is simply giving you this as an update. you must previously have installed the older version through the respository. [18:13] !info qbittorrent [18:13] Package qbittorrent does not exist in gutsy [18:13] Jimdb: oh okay, i was installing from command line but i will take a look at that [18:13] !search qbittorrent [18:13] Found: [18:14] adante: if you forced it to install most likely it won't run after you installed it. [18:14] hi, where are the settings to give a background to the cube's background ? [18:14] hey guys, nobody is in the compiz-fusion room, so i'll ask my question here: I just got the git-core, what do I need to do from there to install fusion icon and CCSM? [18:14] !qbittorrent [18:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about qbittorrent - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:14] grr [18:14] Jimdb: ahhh okay [18:14] hi, where are the settings to give a background to the cube's background ? [18:15] !seach qbittorrent [18:15] help! my feisty 'perfect setup' for ispConfig is not sending any emails. It does receive them via squirrelmail [18:15] Jimdb: what threw me was the part in pastebin.com which said eg Depends: libboost-date-time1.33.1 but it is not installable and Depends: python-support (>= 0.7.1) but 0.6.4ubuntu1 is to be installed [18:15] ouist: find and download this file from the internet and double click on it. fusion-icon_1.0-1_i386.deb [18:15] Jimdb: i took this to mean that it was not installable because it was.. unstable or something? but infact it was because it just had no idea what these packages were? [18:15] hi. does gutsy cd1 contain kde files? i want to install kde isntead of gnome === ril3y is now known as rilesport [18:15] gutsy freeze when i unplug the usb wireless,does anyone came across this problem? [18:16] b0r3d just do apt-get install kde [18:16] adante: doubt that. i simply meant that the file you were installing depended upon files that didn't exist, not that they are unstable. === _Paul-S is now known as Paul-S [18:16] adante: it* simply meant... [18:16] b0r3d: kubuntu gutsy has kde not ubuntu gutsy [18:16] #evropa [18:16] Jimdb: alrighty then [18:16] :( [18:17] adante: one thing to remember about linux.... [18:17] murlidhar you can still install kde with apt [18:17] Jimdb: well thanks for your help, i am a little more educated in the magical ways of ubuntu now (plus i have deluge installed, bonus) [18:17] !compiz [18:17] 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 [18:17] b0r3d: if u want kde then sudo apt-get install kde [18:17] murlidhar and MasterShrek thank you also [18:17] wirechief: i know thanks [18:18] adante: no problems [18:18] !ccsm [18:18] :) [18:18] 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 [18:18] adante: linux has libraries created and shared freely. people use libraries from others. so, you have this dependency thing. you must meet the dependencies before a package can be installed and run. the nice thing is that there are so many people programming and so much is freely useable by others. its an incredible world we live in in linux. === Drew` is now known as drew-work [18:18] murlidhar and it works bettern than kbuntu , its buggy [18:19] murlidhar ha, actually both are buggy :-0 lol [18:19] wirechief: i love gnome it is just that b0r3d wanted kde [18:19] ciao [18:19] On the Gutsy Live CD, where can I find the Compiz manager? [18:19] Jimdb: that i get, i suppose the real drama is that some programs rely on newer versions of those libraries (which may be unstable) than others, so if you want that program then you possibly have to update that library to an unstable ver, possibly rendering other dependent programs unstable too? [18:19] murlidhar yes i figured ...everyone has their favorites :-) [18:20] Thecks: i dont know that it is in livecd maybe livedvd [18:20] * gnuskool blows a multi-colour smoke-ring [18:20] adante: yes, that's why apt and synaptic are so nice. they help you through the dependencies. [18:20] Thecks: you can easily install it via package manager [18:20] wirechief: exactly :) [18:20] It's definately installed, wobbly windows right now :P [18:20] adante: i just updated my deluge. going to try it.

[19:29] leprasmurf, and also, the windows computer I'm trying to network to doesn't see my linux laptop, but on a different network, the win boxes there can see me...any suggestion? [19:29] AL3X-admin, nothing!!!!! [19:29] jannen: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839121008 will that work? [19:29] AL3X-admin, that's how its supposed to be!!!! [19:29] DShepherd: OUCH !!! Juuuu :( [19:29] AL3X-admin, :-) [19:30] ahem [19:30] whats wrong if gparted takes VERY long time to scann? [19:30] innomen wait [19:30] But, .... GIMP 2.4 FINAL is out !!! [19:30] ubuntu should officially recommend a card, since half the tutorials i find say "or buy a 10$ card" [19:30] WOHO =D [19:30] CommonClone: are these two computers on the same network right now? can you ping between them? [19:30] AL3X-admin: manually install [19:30] i tried 6 cards, and ubuntu wouldent see any of them [19:30] AL3X-admin, yeah, I think 2.4rc3 has everything that gimp 2.4 has [19:30] from tar-gz ? juuu [19:30] AL3X-admin: But it was not out when Gutsy was released. Perhaps it will make it into a backport. [19:30] leprasmurf, let me see... [19:31] AL3X-admin: it'll only be installable through apt-get and synaptics once the ubuntu developers get through testing it [19:31] and wrapper is worthless [19:31] juu :( I hate compile....../configure && make && sudo make install ¬¬ [19:31] do do do !! were sorry. the link you provided ,cannot be completed as typed, please check the url, or contact your local chat geek... tuve-t [19:31] #christianity [19:31] AL3X-admin: that's the price you pay when you want bleeding edge [19:31] click it [19:32] hello, gparted takes vey long time to scann my partitions, whats wrong with it? [19:32] leprasmurf: you pay that price anyway, the offical update broke my system, had to reinstall [19:32] DShepherd: mmm, I have the same problem with wine 0.9.48.... [19:32] leprasmurf, no, the pings don't seem to get through...I'll check the win firewall [19:32] AL3X-admin, want a newer version? [19:32] Innomen: well, that's why you don't upgrade prod systems until you've tested:-P [19:32] vikk1: it should not. are some of your devices external usb? [19:32] 0.9.48, and I have the 0.9.47 [19:33] it doesnt do anything in any way, clicking, pasting ect... [19:33] vikk1: a lot... ususally it's faster to backup and restore than to use gparted. and you gain abackup, too [19:33] ubuntu is gunna be a fine young man, but for now it still uses crayons [19:33] and the wine 0.9.48 was released a few days ago [19:33] AL3X-admin, check the wine site.. i think they have there own repos that you can use [19:33] your fire wall is stoping it [19:33] CommonClone: good idea, also see if you can ssh from the windows box to the ubuntu box [19:33] A little more information about my problem: When it disconnects, network-admin suddenly thinks that eth1 is a wired connection [19:33] Does anybody know a solution the the gutsy DDC bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/displayconfig-gtk/+bug/134963 [19:33] leprasmurf: dude, didnt you just say the developers do testing? dont they have extensive periods of beta? [19:33] http://www.getdeb.net/ --- AL3X-admin you can find gimp 2.4 for gutsy there [19:33] Yes, I have their repositories...but they dont have it... [19:33] Jimdb: oki thanks [19:33] (where eth0 is the wired and eth1 is actually the wireless) [19:33] leprasmurf, how do I ssh from windows? (im a windows idiot) [19:33] leprasmurf: so whos it on, me or them? because if its both then its neither [19:33] AL3X-admin, oh.. well I am all out of wine-ing ideas [19:33] Why developers teem wait so long :( ? juuu [19:33] heh, i didn't tell him to do anything. [19:33] Why does fgl_glxgears crash with a segment fault? 7.10 with ati 8.43.5 [19:34] Innomen: it's all about testing, the dev's test, then you have to test internal, then you slowly bring into production so your prod boxes don't suffer [19:34] CommonClone, you can install putty first [19:34] !putty | CommonClone [19:34] CommonClone: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol.

[19:35] hello [19:35] leprasmurf: all i'm saying is, as an end user i should not be expected to fear hitting ok to an automatic update, now i'd understand if i went and installed something beta, but i didnt. it said "hey, you should upgrade" and i was like "well i'll trust you, since you know more than me", and suffered for it [19:35] CommonClone: np [19:35] deuryte: no? [19:35] does anyone know a gui firewall tool for ubuntu [19:35] ahh forget it found it [19:35] egoleo: firestarter [19:35] apart from firestarter [19:36] !firewall | egoleo [19:36] egoleo: 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). [19:36] tiny? [19:36] innomen can be doubt that a good card with linux. [19:36] When I tried starting azureus from the menu nothing happened. I couldn't figure it out, so naturally I tried it from the terminal, both as my user, as well as root [19:36] tiny? [19:36] ferronica: don't launch applications as root, please. [19:36] ./cry i cant find my friend [19:36] Innomen: updates are always dangerous, but in reality any upgrades can be reversed, and most "broken" systems can be repaired without reinstall [19:36] leprasmurf: cop out, if it worked before, it should work again. they commit, they should deliver [19:36] Will pidgin work for windows. [19:37] Radio1: yes, there is a windows port for pidgin [19:37] fyrestrtr: okay [19:37] LET ME SEE... [19:37] fyrestrtr: what i do now [19:37] leprasmurf: if i were a developer sure, ubuntu dosent have the same system as xp to undo changes [19:37] there ya go deu...go get it [19:37] fyrestrtr: azureus is not working :( [19:37] ferronica: the azureus from the ubuntu repos is horribly broken. Do a manual install from azureus.sf.net after purging the ubuntu package [19:37] Innomen: and if you tried to upgrade to vista from xp, you'd run into the same possible problem [19:37] ferronica: please define 'not working' [19:37] leprasmurf: so i should sit with an outdated system, thats the offical recommendation :P [19:37] stefg: how do you know ? [19:38] Innomen: if you're afraid to google to fix:-P [19:38] fyrestrtr: when i try to open it nothing happen [19:38] leprasmurf: which is equally lame, more so because they make you pay for it, avoiding that sort of crap is why i went to ubuntu in the first place [19:38] ferronica: are you running desktop effects? [19:38] ferronica: by writing flames and bugreports to pull that piece of broken crap from the repos since edgy [19:38] Innomen: leprasmurf take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please [19:38] leprasmurf: so its on me again, whos in charge here, me or the devs? :P pick a side man [19:38] Innomen: like right now, my nvidia drivers are all jacked up. but it's pretty much my fault that it's not working [19:38] 12 MB !! [19:38] so [19:39] How come gutsy have all sorts of video issues that feisty didn't have? In this case, gutsy can't detect my monitors capabilities correctly.

[19:44] FluxD: deluge has a sweet torrent maker built in, and its the best client i've ever seen [19:45] Innomen: command line :/ [19:45] ip tables will do that...I think.

[19:52] due.. #christianity [19:52] from quakes servers [19:52] dalnet, efnet, freenode, hispano, hybridnet, ircnet, moznet, quakenet, serenia, slashnet, undernet, webbnet ????? [19:52] click the link [19:52] awitte, but that is a good question though.... darn! [19:52] hey everyone. Is there some sort of wrapper that you know of in linux which would encapsulate 1)virtual IPs, 2)File systems and 3) startup scrips under an easy to manage {start|stop} type of commands? [19:52] stefg, DShepherd I got an autopackage version of inkscape, and it works... so it seems like its a packaging issue [19:52] yenni [19:53] minus: then I suppose its safe to delete the directory where it is installed. [19:53] waiting.... [19:53] awitte: there are a lot of unresolved issues in gutsy... it was simply rushed out before being ready [19:53] fyrestrtr, ok... [19:53] src: you can write your own init scripts, they are quite easy to cook up. [19:53] like for simplifying clustering for example [19:53] here deu ryte..click or copy and paste [19:53] #christianity [19:53] stefg, DShepherd yeah... but i gonna live that through... wouldn't be the first time... [19:53] awitte: there are a lot of unresolved issues in gutsy... it was simply rushed out before being ready' this is y i didnt get it yet... [19:54] fyrestrtr, thank you [19:54] fyrestrtr, i know that. but i'm trying to not reinvent the wheel if possible [19:54] yeni [19:54] deuryte, looks good thou... :) [19:54] I have no issues with gutsy -- well, no *new* issues. Gnome is still stubborn though. [19:54] deuryte, i guess you were the smarter one [19:54] donde estas? [19:54] ok, what u just sent isnt linkabel, and look at the following, wich do i enter..?? [19:54] fyrestrtr, upgrade or clean install? [19:54] src: sounds like you need a linux appliance, check our the vmware marketplace. [19:54] DShepherd: clean. [19:54] deuryte, stefg DShepherd give me compiz, and I take all that shit... :) [19:55] freenode [19:55] * fyrestrtr always does clean. [19:55] awitte: the friut eve ate looked good... [19:55] then come here [19:55] 4 [19:55] fyrestrtr, have you used openoffice spell check feature yet? [19:55] ok, let me lay out my situation and see if I can get help. I finally got my ATI card working and configured (whoo!), but now I am layed with another problem. I am using Gutsy 64-bit, and my WiFi card, a D-Link DWL-G122, is being laggy. It has a Ralink chipset, works out of the box, but for some reason it is being super laggy in Gutsy. Any network experts want to help me? [19:55] DShepherd: I can try if it will make you feel better :) [19:55] awitte, your crazy!!! [19:55] deuryte, hehe... 'looking down'... i am not eve.. but i get your point... [19:55] fyrestrtr, naw it wont make me feel better. I know it doesnt work :-D [19:55] 4 [19:56] brb [19:56] k [19:56] condoulo: it might be ipv6 related [19:56] fyrestrtr, it might make you feel worse though [19:56] DShepherd, it is not easy being at the front... what can ya do... [19:56] !ipv6 | condoulo [19:56] condoulo: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [19:56] now config alsa driver to 5.1 ? [19:56] awitte, yeah... you think they should wait more than 6 months and get hardy right this time? [19:56] DShepherd, deuryte Alright guys.. i am going to file some bugs.... [19:56] fyrestrtr, nope, i'm trying to make manually switching databases easier from one server to another. all filesystems are on SAN, except the startup scripts [19:56] * fyrestrtr killall soffice [19:56] im opened HELP from desktop MENU and it says to grab a given package depending which player ( mplayer, vLC or helix) you use, but it says nothing about totem which is what out of box ubuntu is using to play online videos at least at startrek.com : 'clip of the day' which is either wmv or quicktime....so what do I install for totem ?? [19:56] so any network gurus willing to lend me a hand? [19:56] awitte, i have been filing my bugs... [19:57] awitte, i wanna help fix some of these stuff in anyway i can [19:57] DShepherd: define "not work". It works here? [19:57] DShepherd, nono... they should just fix the bugs in gutsy.. that would be worth a new release... [19:57] awitte, i totally agree!!!! [19:57] DShepherd: typed hllo -- got the red squiggly, right click, and it suggested hello. === cparrish is now known as knighthawk [19:57] DShepherd, like.. how do you want to fix? [19:57] DShepherd: I'd say that's working? [19:57] fyrestrtr, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/158144 [19:57] DShepherd, I am good at css, perl php.. but no c [19:58] so when i boot up normally it goes to a black screen if boot recovery it goes in to root type exit ubuntu loads (i dun like the root hole there either...) flashes a timeout error before blacking out. how do i fix it lol [19:58] awitte: you could help with some of the bugs with init scripts and the sorts -- those are perl. [19:58] awitte, css, c, c++, python. I know. but i learn fast [19:58] awitte, i really dont care how i help. I just want these bugs to just go away [19:58] Hello :> Is there an easy way that I could remove all GNOME-based applications from my system and move to a fully KDE-based desktop? === tms_ is now known as tumi [19:59] (Besides reformatting and installing Kubuntu :>) [19:59] Hi. I just downloaded the server version of Gutsy Gibbon, and when I burn the ISO, it won't actually boot (either to a Live image, or a CLI). The md5's matched, and here ( http://pastebin.com/m500b579f ) is my discs ISO [19:59] DShepherd, you are right... seems like I can help by giving detailed bug information... [19:59] anyone know whats up with gusty messing up eclipse? [19:59] is there any way to change the default time before screen resolutions revert back to default when changing them? [19:59] fyrestrtr, please explain.. [19:59] yeah, anybody willing to give me instructions on how to disable IPV6 while on IRC, because trying to load a whole wiki page on my connection right now is gonna be hard to do [20:00] DShepherd: I don't think this is a bug. [20:00] neighborlee: you need w32codecs and gstreamer0.10-pitfdll to watch the video in wmv format [20:00] fyrestrtr, after doing this, sudo apt-get install language-support-en, spell check worked... but that still is bad [20:00] DShepherd: as it was working here, and I never installed a dictionary. [20:00] Ste-Foy, the HELP file needs to updated then ..but thx just the same ;))) [20:00] dam it [20:00] !medibuntu | neighborlee [20:00] neighborlee: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [20:00] TOO Many nicks simiklar [20:00] hey guys [20:00] nevermind [20:00] fyrestrtr, i think it is [20:00] DShepherd: but dependencies are an issue, sounds like an issue with the package, not OO though. [20:01] So perhaps the package maintainer needs a fresh cup of coffee [20:01] fyrestrtr, ok. no prob. i agree. but someone messed up there [20:01] Stefg, the HELP file needs to updated then ..but thx just the same ;))) [20:01] fyrestrtr, or just water :-) [20:01] bpat1434, how far does the boot sequence go? [20:01] awitte: never even boots [20:01] DShepherd: aye [20:01] bpat1434, like saying what? [20:01] DShepherd: an annoying freakin' $%@%@!^@%$ bug that is killing me is the one with gnome-panel. [20:01] stefg, Im aware why its not here ;) [20:01] stefg, all too aware of that ;)) [20:02] DShepherd: now THAT'S a bug. Yours is like ... and annoying fly. [20:02] stefg, but thx just the same. [20:02] fyrestrtr, whats with the gnome-panel? [20:02] fyrestrtr, reported it already? [20:02] neighborlee: would be a bit problematic to write in a help file: Please violate the License/Patent-Law in the US [20:02] * orochi_ has been having gnome-screensaver pop up over full-screen applications, even with mouse activity :/ [20:02] loading channels now. [20:02] its not safe to execute quake 4 demo as sudo right? [20:02] i installed enemy territory how to i delete from the computer? [20:02] deu is lost. [20:02] DShepherd: yeah, and I'm not the only one. [20:02] fyrestrtr, what happens? [20:02] hehe [20:02] hello there [20:02] stefg, yeah so make users lives miserable when they can't find info they need..yeah that makes alot of sense [20:02] VINCHENZO29, Delete the directory with it [20:02] been saved since 1989... [20:02] why does gutsy offer many vim packages [20:02] fyrestrtr, DShepherd right... who needs spelling, when ya don't have a panel... [20:02] awitte: I boot past the POST screen, it gets to reading the CD and just nothing happens (i.e. the screen stays blank, nothing happens) and it seems like the disc is continually trying to be read [20:02] DShepherd: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39856 [20:02] stefg, if totem is default.they should provide a means to help get plugins work with totem..that would seem logical to me ;) [20:03] which one should i download if i need to use vim / gvim for development ? [20:03] kindus: sudo apt-get install vim gvim cream [20:03] neighborlee: they do as much as they can, but ubuntu can't fix a sick and broken patent law in the USA [20:03] The aspartane king. [20:03] kindus, gvim is more gui centric. vim is command line [20:03] dont u get it guys?? ubuntu just creates the core, u get to get the bugs out FOR them... [20:03] hi can anyone help me with a problem installing avant window manager (emulates mac dock, i think...) [20:03] ? [20:03] minus : how could i find the directory [20:03] stefg, that has nothing to do wit it [20:03] stefg, that has nothing to do with it [20:03] bpat1434, hmm... than it seems something is wrong with the CD or the drive.. i would guess...the least i would expect is ... kernel loading message [20:03] hallo iemand voor nederlandse hulp [20:03] kindus: and make sure you install vim proper, the vim that comes with the default install is rather ... handicapped. [20:03] is there a PC emulator capable of using like a USB TV adapter? So like Windows on the virtual PC but accessing the real USB device? [20:03] VINCHENZO29, "sudo updatedb" [20:04] stefg, im referring to a broken help file thats all ;) [20:04] ik heb ier een lexmark printer x1100 en wil die installeren op ubuntu [20:04] maar die werkt niet [20:04] help!! ionly have 2 workspaces,i try to change thenumber of workspaces but theworkspace managerseems unresponseive, any ideas??!?! please! [20:04] deuryte, that makes me wanna cry [20:04] awitte: yeah, that's what I'd expect... but I don't even get that.... [20:04] en tis nen nieuwen [20:04] I have Ubuntu on 3 machines and they work excellently.. [20:04] VINCHENZO29, then: "locate etqw" [20:04] HEY FOLKS, anyone know of a good messenger client that supports encryption? [20:04] stefg, if totem is default..have help for totem not just mplayer, hellix and vlc ;) [20:04] AlphaOmega: logout, and login. [20:04] stefg, anyway [20:04] ok [20:04] fyrestrtr: hmm ...where do i find "vim proper" [20:04] ? [20:04] AlphaOmega: and stop panicking :) [20:04] deuryte, at least we have the chance .. not like the ms weirdos.. ;) [20:04] neighborlee: wmv9 is a proprietary format, so tell startrek.com to publish their streams in an open format like .ogg, and you'll be out of trouble [20:04] kindus: sudo apt-get install vim [20:04] fyrestrtr: ive done that many timesd [20:04] printers nieuwe toevoegen dan zegt em welke gedetect is. Maar de juist stuurprogrammas voor deze staan nie in ubuntu standaard [20:04] windows has no core..bill is the core [20:04] VINCHENZO29, then you'll see which dirrectorys belonging to that game [20:04] stefg, so bury our heads in the sand ? [20:05] AlphaOmega: remove the applet, logout, login, add the applet again. [20:05] VINCHENZO29, then you can do: "sudo rm -r /path/to/game/* [20:05] bpat1434, have you checked the drive/computer with another bootable? [20:05] its makin every one in here cry, i like ubuntu, but the support lacks cause mostly du to hardware issues. [20:05] fyrestrtr: oh ok ..... because i was browsing synaptic .. and there was "full-vim" and many vim-* [20:05] i'm having a very weird issue with firefox (and firefox32) on fiesty...whenever i try to launch firefox using either firefox or firefox32 nothing happens. no firefox window shows up or anything, it just returns me to the terminal with no message at all [20:05] ok [20:05] hi can anyone help me with a problem installing avant window manager? [20:05] neighborlee: no, just don't bend to the monopoly [20:05] awitte: centOS loads perfectly fine, SuSE boots fine [20:05] stefg, I have actually done that btw..they could care less about LINUX [20:05] im sorry, how do i remove the applet? from add/remove apps? [20:05] bpat1434, maybe try another version of the server install... [20:05] bill is.... hard-core... [20:05] Going back to windows is like going back to the..square wheel. [20:05] AlphaOmega: right click on it. [20:05] stefg, we are big enough yet...we adapt or get no servcice it seems ;)) [20:05] previously firefox was working perfectly then all of a sudden now it won't work at all [20:05] stefg, we aren't big enough yet...we adapt or get no servcice it seems ;)) [20:05] awitte: yeah, I'm burning another CD now... [20:05] bpat1434, anyway.. hard to say.. if you don't even get an kernel loading.. [20:05] is there a PC emulator capable of using like a USB TV adapter? So like Windows on the virtual PC but accessing the real USB device? There's no linux drivers for mine. [20:05] guru: ah yes, the 'was working yesterday, today it broke' bug. [20:06] Got a new dvd burner 2 days ago. [20:06] stefq, but yes I did send them a 'few' emails over last few years.asking for ogg support...im sure it fell on deaf ears, but I did try yes ;) [20:06] fyrestrtr: are others having the same issue? [20:06] awitte: yeah... I'll let you know how it goes [20:06] anyone at all know what is up with gusty causing eclipse to get a "error creating the view" error? [20:06] dan2552... i think vmware is able to pass usb... [20:06] awitte: like i said, when it all gets ironed out .. it will rediculously RULE!!! [20:06] guru: not afaik, but I don't run 64 bit, looks like you do. [20:06] yep [20:06] awitte: is VMware free? [20:06] Dan2552: yes. [20:06] stefg, I get the not bending part..but sometimes when you dont bend/adapt, you break ;) [20:06] fyrestrtr: cmon, i know its workspace switcher 2.20.1 but how do i remove it? i dont see it in add/remove? [20:06] i'll lookup on vmware then [20:06] well, i'll just try the windows approach to solving problems - restart my computer (already tried restarting X - no luck) [20:06] stefg, but yeah I get the whole foss thing yes :) [20:06] !uudev [20:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about uudev - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:06] Dan2552, free and free... it is not gpl'd... but the player and the server are free to download [20:06] deuryte, yeah.. hopefully it does sooner than later. I cant wait for hardy. [20:07] !udev [20:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about udev - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:07] AlphaOmega: right click on the actual applet and remove it. [20:07] databuddy: what do you need? [20:07] Dan2552, works good in ubuntu [20:07] you mean remove from panel? [20:07] AlphaOmega: yes. [20:07] awitte: is it easy to setup? [20:07] fyrestrtr found it [20:07] !vmware | Dan2552 [20:07] Dan2552, windows is not getting out of a window on my pc.. :) [20:07] Dan2552: VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [20:07] but im getting rid of udev [20:07] databuddy: yay [20:07] i format partitions too often to want to keep it [20:07] it is in the medibuntu repository i think... [20:07] i just dont understand why the new gusty when there is still a pleathra of issues with feisty still at hand... [20:08] fyrestrtr: still the same problem [20:08] ah thanks fyrestrtr [20:08] oh wait, log out log in [20:08] deuryte for instance? [20:08] Dan2552, look in ubuntuguide.org [20:08] whenever i try to install something via synaptic i get a parse error in /var/lib/dpkg/available ... do you think if i delete this file it would be regenerated correctly ? [20:08] hi can anyone help me with a problem installing avant window manager? [20:08] I like pidgin better. [20:08] remember its all made on volentary basis and there are a plethora of packages [20:08] i'll come back if I have any major major problems setting it up [20:08] DShepherd: you saw my bug report? [20:09] databuddy: Well, for my own part, gnome-screensaver is popping up over full-screen apps even when there's mouse activity, and with compiz activated the brightness settings for 3d applications are thrown off on my machine...so it's not perfect :> [20:09] DShepherd: isn't that the most annoying ***** you have ever seen. [20:09] ?? why is every one still here, i have a 64bit sys, ubuntu works fine but puts monitor too sleep, and wont wake up. never even heard of this until unix. [20:09] is samba port 139? [20:09] pidgin?? i prefer quail [20:09] HEY FOLKS, anyone know of a good messenger client that supports encryption? [20:09] orochi_ of course its not perfect [20:09] check the screen saver setting in power settings..D`oh. [20:09] deuryte: sounds like you have a lazy monitor khe,,,khe,,khee [20:09] what you need to understand is that ubuntu 'stable' is not really stable [20:10] not QUITE testing... but stable is breezy [20:10] yep [20:10] in which there are virtually no issues [20:10] deuryte: You should probably try to be less obvious of a troll if you actually want people to fall for it :> [20:10] ready?? sitting down?? itsa kds. woooo. woooo !!! [20:10] fyrestrtr, this has been around for a while. [20:10] speaking of breezy [20:10] DShepherd: doesn't make it less annoying. [20:10] need to back my little girl's dekstop box down from dapper to breezy [20:10] Mine is screen smart. [20:10] oh .. i should do dpkg --clear-avail [20:10] I can't seem to use the webdav synchronization plugin of tomboy notes [20:10] so the damned sound will work in flash games [20:10] uhm [20:11] is breezy even supported? [20:11] !build-essentials [20:11] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!) [20:11] the only reason i dont run breezy is i have to recompile a few things to get bleeding edge which ends up meaning 500MB extra packages etc [20:11] John_R: get the vmware thing figgured out ? [20:11] i dont even play with c-f that much atm [20:11] fyrestrtr, i know.. makes it more annoying [20:11] yep [20:11] alright guys... have a nice day.. @leaving...

[20:11] it just errors, and doesn't say why [20:11] havent got into the vmware bit yet [20:11] going to get the box lined out how i like [20:11] all im sayin is, put the software out there, let it run its course" being its free" and when most bugs r gone, THEN present its sequel !!

[20:12] hehe that may help [20:12] I think someone is farming ebay information. After winning a big, I started getting phising emails from ebay scammers. [20:12] Does Synaptic use apt-get or aptitude? I don't want to use both and regret it on my new installation... [20:12] although, when i removed the workspace switcher applet, then i rebooted, the deskto pcame up much quicker [20:12] ebirtaid: ok, :) [20:13] ah gah, wrong window. [20:13] hi. what is CUPS? i hope u r not female.. [20:13] 631/tcp open ipp CUPS 1.2 [20:13] erUSUL: I installed it with the popup that comes from trying to run a java app in firefox, like runescape [20:13] b0r3d, It's the printing daemon [20:13] maru: you just gotta read it. install package dbus-glib-1 [20:13] maru: sudo apt-get install dbus-glib-1 maybe [20:13] tdrusk: apt-get, aptitude, and synaptic all are frontends to the same 'dpkg' packaging system. [20:13] orochi_, i want to stop it [20:13] !cups | deuryte [20:13] deuryte: Printing in Ubuntu is done with CUPS.

I need the little window that shows statements made directly to me to pop up agan ... and it only pops up when someone writes my nick in the channel ... please [20:13] maru: also, why are you compiling something from source? [20:14] tdrusk: you can't go wrong by using either one of them. [20:14] FluxD: I wouldn't bother with him, he's a poor troll at best :> [20:14] Whitor: popup [20:14] fyrestrtr: thank you [20:14] orochi_: oh ok [20:14] sure thing. [20:14] fyrestrtr: I thought aptitude kept a separate database than apt-get. At least it does in Debian Etch. [20:14] jannen, i don't have system [20:14] Whitor: by the way, what client are you using? [20:14] know what? i do remember that. sorry for the pun, i also am only 3 weeks into ubuntu, i went to get a free pdf printer and came upon such.. [20:14] fyrestrtr: KVirc [20:15] bor3d look at panel... [20:15] * fyrestrtr note to self: don't use KVirc [20:15] lol [20:15] fyrestrtr: i use it. and it's nice =D [20:15] fyrestrtr: did you have problems with it? [20:15] test [20:15] LiMaO: apparently, its a challenge to open windows in it. [20:15] fyrestrtr: I'm sure there must be a way to reference this .... I just havn't figgured it out yet [20:15] awitte: yeah, it boots past the POST, starts to read the disc and the light on the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive doesn't stop blinking... I don't even think it's reading it... :( might have to switch it out [20:15] fyrestrtr: what do you mean? for scripting? [20:15] b0r3d system/settings/services I guess its in english [20:16] LiMaO: it was an attempt at humor :) I don't use it, Whitor does. [20:16] is there a net-auto setup script for ubuntu server [20:16] anyways, my workspace switcher is borked, any ideas on how to fix it? [20:16] JC, What do you use fyrestrtr? [20:16] * gnuskool quitely reflects on the binary marvels of the universe..... [20:16] My harddrive ocon has disappeared -- how do i get it back? [20:16] bpat1434: did you do a md5 checksum on the image before your burned it? Some mirrors have issues -- I had downloaded the iso twice with errors, then finally using torrents I got the correct file. [20:16] Deu [20:16] Whitor: xchat or irssi depending on the mood. [20:16] fyrestrtr: yeah, the md5's match [20:17] ok, thx [20:17] hey, um, why does ubuntu crash when I try to change the visiualization in VLC and movie player? it goes to a bunch of funny colored squares on a black background [20:17] what time is it CST? [20:17] 1518 [20:17] 3:47 [20:17] My 'harddrive' icon on the desktop has disappeared; how do I get it back? [20:17] Billies: sounds like a video card driver issue ... what drivers are oyu using ?> [20:17] I've got the restricted drivers installed and running for my ATI 1650 [20:18] yea..sorry [20:18] ubuntu won't synch to that with America/Monterrey :x [20:18] ceil420, Central Standard Time [20:18] it looks like the result of a bad overclock in windows [20:18] Mon Oct 29 14:18:16 CST 2007 [20:18] Billies: welcome to the joys of restricted drivers [20:18] Radio1. how to get to christianity [20:18] 14?

[20:18] I know, my X-FI platinum won't even work here last I checked [20:18] that's what i said [20:18] 4 [20:18] Billies: Good news, AMD recently came out with new drivers for their ATI cards [20:18] hang on [20:18] Rich4: I assume if you restart it will come back. [20:19] for linux? [20:19] the cable box and atomic clock in the livingroom are both 1hr+ from my computer [20:19] Billies: but it likely be some time before they are integrated into gutsy [20:19] fyre: I restarted 2x already and it stil is gone [20:19] Billies: I think he means for Atari [20:19] odd [20:19] ok, i have noticed that there's a "christian edition" of ubuntu, and even a "satanic edition", is there by any chance a wiccan edition?? [20:19] Billies: yep, for linux [20:19] Billies: :) [20:19] well bush pushed back dst I think by a week [20:19] i was wondering if the time server for America/Monterrey is messed up, or ubuntu's time synching or what [20:19] your comp may have autosynched improperly [20:19] bluefox83: you can create it if you like. [20:19] I am inEST and I have 1620 [20:19] because my rig in windows plas Battlefield 2142 on almost full settings, but here, it stutters in RTCW:ET, ETQW wouldn't possibly be playable [20:19] i just manually clicked Synchronize on it [20:19] ceil420: what is your timezone?

How do I change that without going into fstab? [20:24] puli, i dont know much about ekiga and since I am mine isnt running right now I dont think i will much of a help [20:24] ok shepherd thanks [20:24] I disabled ipv6, and I am still getting major lag [20:24] the name ubuntu keeps reminding me of the pokemon xatu [20:24] -.- [20:24] hi all [20:25] puli, your welcome. sorry i couldnt help. throw out your question again maybe? [20:25] ok [20:25] how do you know which packages belong to which version? [20:25] how do I play realmedia videos on gutsy? [20:25] (packages installed in your comp) [20:25] zasf what do you mean [20:25] I mean [20:25] version of what [20:25] I have feisty on my server [20:25] OSCAR_ACOSTA, you can download RealPlayer for linux [20:25] I upgraded some packages to gutsy [20:26] let's say by mistake [20:26] has the option for unsecured/un-encrypted wirless network drivers for the intel 3945 drivers in gusty ? [20:26] radio1. irc://freenode/off-topic [20:26] I did a 'apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22-server' [20:26] been removed that should read [20:26] ebirtaid: i tried installing like you said but it says "E: Couldn't find package dbus-glib-1" [20:26] and it also installed some other dependencies from gutsy (like libc6) [20:26] if you only have feisty sources then you couldnt have upgraded to a gutsy package [20:26] brb [20:26] where are the messages stored for the 'leave message' feature in gnome's screen saver? [20:26] zasf you can't do that by mistake [20:26] I changed the source (sorry I didn't mention) [20:26] maru: open syanptic and search dbus glib it might have another package name [20:26] yes [20:27] zasf ok - so you didn't do it by accident then [20:27] I wanted to upgrade the system [20:27] ahhh [20:27] zasf thats not how you upgrade [20:27] Quick question: When a new version of say Gimp or Wine come out, how long until the repositories get it, on average? [20:27] krank depends, sometimes never [20:27] but before upgrading I wanted to check if linux-image works with my old p2 [20:27] zasf you will prolly have to just verify versions against the gutsy package list I guess there might an easier way but I dont know it [20:27] what's syanptic? [20:27] package manager === john__ is now known as JohnRobert [20:27] maru front end for the package manager [20:27] synaptic [20:27] ebirtaid: that's what I wanted to know [20:27] I misspelled [20:28] is there an easyier way? I don't think so [20:28] but you never know.. maybe someone on irc knows === blan__ is now known as blan [20:28] if there is I dont know it :( [20:28] How come System > Administration > Screen and Graphics detects my available resolutions incorrectly? I am running 1680x1050@60 set up with nvidia-settings, but gutsy's Screens and Graphics shows only 1680x1050 @ 50Hz. [20:28] amadeux: they are the same [20:29] Radi01 it looks like im in but dont see u or anyone chatting, there is a name list to the left.. [20:29] ikonia, the same? no, one is 60 Hz, the other is 50 Hz [20:29] deuryte people are chatting [20:29] amadeux, does the same for me at 1280x1024 [20:29] deuryte yep [20:29] amadeux so it is, my mistake [20:29] #ubuntu-offtopic [20:29] click it [20:29] krank, feisty never did that. I don't know what's wrong with gutsy [20:30] why wont vmware install on gutsy? [20:30] vmware player [20:30] AlphaOmega tell us your problem [20:30] alphaomega: you need a kernel patch [20:30] oh player n/m [20:30] well, i try to install it from the add/removemenu, and it says, cant install on 1386 [20:30] i386 [20:30] my ubuntu 7.04 getting stuck frequently while i was working. [20:30] so I disabled ipv6 by blacklisting it, and I am still getting lag [20:30] amadeux: I think it is just a display mistake, mine says 50Hz, but the monitor says 60Hz [20:31] um, how do i update virus scanner? i get this message; You must be root to install update [20:31] AlphaOmega can you give us the exact error message ? what version of ubuntu are you running and on what arch [20:31] zerek: use sudo [20:31] zerek use sudo [20:31] krank, ok. I am not sure I can trust what my monitor says. It seems to say 60 Hz no matter what [20:31] okei :) thx, ill try [20:31] i have a fresh install of 7.10 from dvd on intel 945 laptop toshiba [20:31] amadeux: If you feel like tinkering with modeline entries in your xorg.conf, you can install package read-edid. then to get monitor information in a format suitable for xorg.conf insertion, sudo get-edid|parse-edid [20:31] krank, I think maybe this is related to the output I get from ddcprobe. There is no 1680x1050 mode and it writes "edidfail" at the bottom [20:32] amadeux: I'm on a DVI connection, so I think it will be 60Hz no matter what. [20:32] my ubuntu 7.04 getting stuck frequently while i was working. can someone please help [20:32] AlphaOmega are you using the 32bit or 64bit version [20:32] err, how do i update virus scanner trough the terminal then? [20:32] and error message is: VMware Player cannot be installed on your computer type (i386) Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. [20:32] krank thats a fair call [20:32] my ubuntu 7.04 getting stuck frequently while i was working. usually when i start do desktop effects [20:32] 32 bit [20:32] ikonia: ^ [20:32] krank, DVI can do other refresh rates [20:32] zerek, sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade [20:33] AlphaOmega ok that looks like your missing the vmware kernel modules [20:33] ompaul I dont know if that will update definitions [20:33] ompaul: hello there ! [20:33] ah, thanks [20:33] ikonia, ahh [20:33] amadeux, must be a limitation of my monitor then. [20:33] hi [20:33] anyone know what optimized firefox builds are available now? [20:33] hi to all [20:33] tuna-fish what do you mean by optimised [20:33] genii, I installed read-edid. But it says: VBE/DDC service about to be called [20:33] Read EDID [20:33] Performing real mode VBE call [20:33] Interrupt 0x10 ax=0x4f15 bx=0x1 cx=0x0 [20:33] Function supported [20:33] Call failed [20:33] The EDID data should not be trusted as the VBE call failed [20:33] like swiftfox I think? [20:33] Error: output block unchanged [20:33] parse-edid: IO error reading EDID [20:33] my ubuntu 7.04 getting stuck frequently while i was working. usually when i start do desktop effects. can someone please help [20:34] shiela what video card do you have [20:34] amadeux, please part the channel and come back [20:34] compiled with processor-specific optimisations [20:34] ikonia: [20:34] ikonia: ok, ill try to install them [20:34] shiela don't start desktop effects [20:34] tuna-fish why do you want that ? [20:34] ATI radeon 7000 [20:34] someone knows if kdat for gnome exist? [20:34] amadeux: syntax is: sudo get-edid|parse-edid <-- note sudo and then piped to parsing binary [20:34] tuna-fish processor optimisation on a web browser will get you nothing [20:34] amadeux: try this, in the resolution setting select progressively lower resolutions (don't actually change it), each time I choose a lower res. my Hz goes up [20:35] ikonia: is there anyway to fix this problem i love my desktop effects really [20:35] ikonia: because the standard firefox build is completely unresponsive for 15 secs when I try to open all my procrastination bookmarks into new tabs, while swiftfox used to only take 3 secs or so [20:35] or someone know if exist some GUI software to create archives on a dat scsi backup unit ???? [20:35] krank, yeah, mine does that too. Its a gutsy bug [20:35] genii, I was running this as root, so [20:35] tuna-fish: reinstall swiftfox then? [20:35] tuna-fish thats going to be nothing to do with processor optimisations at build time [20:35] !backup | petengy [20:35] petengy: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [20:36] as of today, which do you recomend with Core Duos, Ubuntu 64 or Ubuntu 32 bits? Which are actual problems with 64 edition? [20:36] ikonia: i have it installed i think [20:36] I heard there was a new one without the license issues of swiftfox, wondered if any of you knew it's name [20:36] is this it? xserver-xorg-video-vmware [20:36] yaser what do you want to do ? [20:36] ubotu, tnx a lot but I looking for something as graphical interface that make me able to "see" e DAT (tape recorind unit) [20:36] tuna-fish invstigate the problems with firefox [20:36] amadeux: Ah. Perhaps you have DDC entry commented out /no entry for it in xorg.conf as well. If you know exact specs of your monitor you can manually insert the Horizontal and Vertical entries of course [20:37] something like KdAT [20:37] AlphaOmega thats an xserver module [20:37] tuna-fish swiftweasel [20:37] ikonia, mostly normal things, sometimes matlab and may be in the future video editing [20:37] lol.. i think gutsy has a real hard time managing memory and also to display it -- lol @ http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=48306&d=1193668898 [20:37] yaser: if you want flash and codecs then stick with 32-bit. The performance gain of 64bit isn't worth the trouble [20:37] ikonia: it's just slow when it opens 50+ tabs. nothing to do about it... [20:37] ikonia: a lot of people benefit from using swiftweasel/swiftfox this is not new [20:37] ikonia: i dont know how to get the vmware kernel module [20:37] i installed it but now it gives me this problem: http://pastebin.com/d45c72d64 [20:37] genii, I know, but how come this doesn't just work, as it did in feisty? [20:37] someting different from TAR and MT (from shell) [20:37] yaser: video editing is a good use of 64bit - however matlab in 64bit may cause you issues [20:37] stefg, codecs have trubles? [20:37] tuna-fish 50+ tabs ! of course its going to be slow [20:38] ikonia: using sse2 really helps firefox render stuff [20:38] yaser: w32codecs... wmv9 and stuff [20:38] ikonia: but swiftfox isn't [20:38] tuna-fish: just don't open 50 tabs at once [20:38] ikonia: why not if it can be done? [20:38] tuna-fish: you are looking for swiftweasel anyway [20:38] k, thanks [20:38] tuna-fish: because the hassle of maintaing a specific package for a minimal user base is crazy [20:38] sigh [20:39] stefg, ikonia isnt it very sad to have a 64bit machine and dont use the whole of its capacities? [20:39] My problem is that I can't make KDAT seeing my HP DAT [20:39] why are you arguing with him when his question has been answered [20:39] let him do what he wants man [20:39] Laters all [20:39] yaser will use all its capacity [20:39] ikonia: but it has been done, in swiftfox and swiftweasel [20:39] hello ppl i got a problem with Teamspeak I have no sound on it can someone help me plz [20:39] tuna-fish then why are you asking what the products are ? === DGJ_ is now known as DGJ [20:39] ikonia: as said, i didn't know the name of swiftweasel, just knew it existed [20:40] if its not in the ubuntu repo - which it may be, think hard about using it [20:40] ikonia: and swiftfox has licensing issues [20:40] hello ppl i got a problem with Teamspeak I have no sound on it can someone help me plz [20:41] yaser: tbeory and practice. in a perfect world we would have all software available in 64bit and fully 64bit optimized algo's. the parctice is: the performance gain is minimal, because most software isn't 64 bit optimized, or even available for 64bit. so you need a 32bit chroot on a 64bit machine and ugly stuff like that [20:41] http://pastebin.com/f267810c7 can anyone help me with this? [20:42] Ubuntu 7.10 is the reason baby jesus was born === POD-KyleS is now known as KyleS [20:42] stefg, ok thanks very much [20:42] welp [20:42] please, give advice to newbie anybody...a installed ubuntu, set it up whole day and finally i set up a dual monitor but it failed...so no GUI, just command prommt, but I don't know anything about it [20:42] My very important hdd is not mounting.

[20:43] ok, I disabled ipv6 by blacklisting it, but I am still getting major lag. any network gurus willing to help (bare with my, its extreme lag) [20:43] but just different screen resolution....that I can't seen most of screen [20:44] stefg, :-) [20:44] tdrus1: "A simple check on a partition". It think it must verify correct size, that no other partition is overlapping, etc. Nothing fancier or interacting with the filesystem [20:44] ok guys - how can i run a command when a user logs into a linux machine.....whether they log in via ssh or a bash session or gnome [20:44] condoulo: tracepath [20:44] open a terminal? [20:44] kl4m: it says under actions: check and repair filesystem... I just don't want to loose data. [20:44] tdrus1:wait wait wait [20:45] tdrus1: It does check the filesystem [20:45] Anyone looking forward to the theme upgrade? [20:45] kl4m: Is this safe? [20:45] KyleS: when will that be? [20:45] KyleS: the what? [20:45] For 8.04 [20:45] They're updating the theme for ubuntu [20:45] KyleS: link? [20:45] icon theme as well [20:45] give me a sec to find it :p [20:46] oh -- I don't use the ubuntu theme anyway; its the first thing I delete. [20:46] guys i am not able to configure my ekiga can u help pls [20:46] I was reading about it this morning lol [20:46] yaser- more were created from my experience. My ATI card is more of a pain to configure, and my WiFi card is having extreme lag. [20:46] amadeux: Sorry for lag, work called for a bit. As to why expected behaviour as previously in Feisty does not work, i do not know [20:46] guys i am not able to configure my ekiga can u help pls [20:46] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/hardy-theme [20:46] puli: what error? [20:46] hi! found DebuggingKernelSuspend on the wiki but can't figure out what to do if i find a "hash matches device ***" in dmesg [20:46] Is doing a check with Gparted safe?

[20:48] a [20:48] i have registerered with ekiga and i have got a sip account and password, i used it to configure ekiga once i finish it says security chek failed [20:48] pike_: that's why I need to check it. [20:48] I made a daemon and now I want to figure out how to get it to be started when the server starts [20:48] does anyone know if the fglrx driver for ati cards is going to be updated in the ubuntu repository anytime soon or is it going to remain the same version until next release of ubuntu [20:48] anyone running a quad core cpu? [20:48] pike u there? [20:49] bmunger: if it is, personally I'd be extremely surprised [20:49] chiefinnovator: check out initscripts [20:49] How do I use irc on the livecd? what is the application called? [20:49] is the CFS in the current feisty kernel? [20:49] ddalton: pidgin, I believe [20:49] ddalton: x-chat, you have to install it through synaptic though (you can actually do that on a liveCD) [20:49] ah yeah, pidgin would work too [20:49] I have a lot of partitions, almost all of which are visible in Nautilus. This really fills up the Side Pane in Nautilus. Even if they're commented out in fstab. What can I do to change this? [20:49] how? [20:50] nickrud: i figured it would be next release of ubuntu.. too bad i cant get aiglx working with ati's installer [20:50] pidgin [20:50] mynyml, I'm still confused [20:50] ddalton: how to use pidgin? just go to applications->internet->pidgin then hit add account, and create an irc account on irc.freenode.net [20:50] does ah yeah, pidgin would work too come with it? [20:50] oops [20:50] pidgin come with it? [20:50] chiefinnovator: the script should be in /etc/init.d , and you would use update-rc.d to set it up to start/stop. You should look at a few scripts in that dir for guidelines [20:50] Hi. I have a sound problem: my usb sound card is not usable in Gnome, even though I can use it with amarok and xine. [20:50] on my ubuntu install, all line-drawing uses wierd characters instead, like in mc or pstree. like this... ââsshdâââsshdâââbashâââscreen. what could the fix be?

[21:17] any suggestions on how to go about getting a warning like, say... 5 minutes before my battery runs out? [21:17] alesan: install wifi radar [21:17] like "you're low on power, plug in" [21:17] alesan, chances are you need firmware for it [21:18] wolliw I think the battery panel applet has a feature like that [21:18] MasterShrek: 3com office connect - details at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596117 [21:18] i don't see it if it is there === Irish is now known as YourMomsHero [21:18] right click on it and check options, I could be wrong [21:18] might also wanna check power settings from gnome control [21:18] hmm. i wonder if a flash reinstall will do me any good. :| it's not working with a good number of flash sites that i land on.

[21:19] wifi radar is a completely self contained wireless front end that doesn't rely on the bloated bugginess that network manager does [21:19] Bupuntu, alesan, http://www.mediafire.com/?bqn8x4eancv download that file and extract the contents to /lib/firmware [21:19] ebirtaid: it says 'only root can do that' when i try to remount. how do I do it [21:19] use sudo [21:19] Hello [21:19] anyone know the shebang for C++? [21:19] Bupuntu, alesan, then do sudo modprobe bcm43xx (or reboot) [21:19] mount is a root-only command [21:20] scragar, c++ is not a scripting language [21:20] Hello there [21:20] yeah, closest i can find is what to do at critical power but that's what it does when i'm out of juice [21:20] hi when i use the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg do i select "vese" or "ati" from the driver list [21:20] scragar: no shebang [21:20] Does anybody have problems with mouse input hanging in X?

[21:20] ebirtaid, unless there is an entry in /etc/fstab with the user option set... then mount will allow a non-root user to run it. [21:20] JoseLuis: spit tit out [21:21] kbidd: I thought it was pmount for that? [21:21] could be mistaken though [21:21] JoseLuis: just ask [21:21] I'm trying to install ubuntu from, the Live CD, but I'm using an LCD monitor. wich only works on 1024X768 [21:21] MasterShrek i already installed the firmware [21:21] the problem is that with the previous installation it worked fine [21:21] this time is really weird [21:21] not working all the time, or not at all [21:21] ushare canot play MP4 files, do I need to install a library for ushare to do this? [21:21] ebirtaid, afaik, mount will work, but i could be wrong [21:21] dunno :D [21:21] n is not loading at all, how do I launch the live cd in a lower res? [21:21] ebirtaid: When I try to "mount --rbind olddir newdir" I get the message "mount: only root can do that." How do I mount then? [21:21] I know when it asks to run as root he needs to use sudo though [21:21] ... [21:21] rich4: pay attention: ise sudo [21:22] Bupuntu, well i dunno then, chances are youll need the same firmware you were using before, is it different this time? [21:22] use* [21:22] orbstra, if ushare is a binary, then just installing a library wouldn't work because you would have needed to compile it against that library to begin with [21:22] same one [21:22] probably /etc/sudoers isnt set up right [21:22] JoseLuis: got an error we can look at? what does it say exactly? [21:22] :\ [21:22] bruenig I compiled it myself... [21:22] Does anybody have any experience using the Odyssey wifi client under Linux?

Ok great, that works for windows but he wants Ubuntu Studio installed making it a dual boot system. The problem? Ubuntu needs that VGA setting in BIOS enabled in order to install. (can't g [22:49] et "X" to start via ATI card) After the install you would go and hunt down the binary or proprietary ATI driver for your ubuntu installation. Problem w/ doing it that way is after you install the ATI drivers and you go back and disable VGA via BIOS Ubuntu can't start "X" what gives? [22:50] Elliol: did the movie play ok before? [22:50] soundray: hmm... or, perhaps, the other way around... that could be it. but i don't want to reboot now to check :) thanks for the pointer.

[22:59] anyone familiar with checkinstall [22:59] i know you can record but live internet feed [22:59] !screencast | cube :) [22:59] cube :): Some programs to capture your screen are Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder. Also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts. [22:59] jameswf, ask. [22:59] hmm, i'm reading about resizing partitions, particularly in this case ntfs. I read that ntfsresize first resizes the filesystem but not the actual partition [23:00] cube: vnc? [23:00] Did someone answer my question [23:00] ekim|linux, What card is it? [23:00] asm-offsets.c missing... << get that error when running checkinstall make alone builds ok [23:00] I've dealt with resizing partitions for years, but do not understand the distinction of resizing a filesystem vs a partition [23:00] jameswf, it [23:00] er [23:00] ekim|linux: perhaps you have bad reception [23:00] soundray: thanks im looking into it [23:00] how do i find out what is wrong with my system (yesterday movies and music worked fine....today they dont work at all) [23:00] jameswf, run make install, and see if thats the problem [23:00] billenium_: You could autoforward all the mail in you mail.com account to your comcast.net account. [23:01] can't wait until I can afford to replace that machine... it's so damn needy... if I neglect it for too long, it'll freeze and have trouble powering back up and staying on... the dvd-rom drive has trouble reading discs... etc... the only way to keep it running is to use it a little every day and never shut it off. [23:01] make install works ok outside checkinstall [23:01] how can i do this? [23:01] soundray: but the card wont light up... [23:01] soundray: when in operation the oower light is always on [23:01] mcquaid, when you resize a partition, you allocate more physical space to that partition, however your filesystem will stay the same size as before. For that you will have to grow the FS [23:01] soundray: also...I am 5 feet from the router... [23:01] how do i find out what is wrong with my system (yesterday movies and music worked fine....today they dont work at all)????????????????? [23:02] jameswf: checkinstall installs into a completely empty file system [23:02] jameswf, paste the entire command sequence and output. include the prompt after the last command. [23:02] ekim|linux, What card do you have? [23:02] ah, ok. [23:02] it is a microsft MN-720 [23:02] jameswf, so that i know when it ends. [23:02] Hi, I'm trying to move my home dir but having some troubles, this is what I did: I made a backup of my home dir. I mounted my newly created fat32 partition and copied my home dir contents to it. I deleted my home dir. I mounted my fat32 partition as my home dir (in fstab). Now I get this error: the gnome session manager was unable to lock the file .iceauthority.... [23:02] it is on the supported list by the way [23:02] jameswf: So if nothing is there, but make install expects it, too bad [23:02] also...it has a broadcom chip in it [23:02] ekim|linux: have you seen ubotu's factoid: [23:02] !wifi | ekim|linux [23:02] ekim|linux: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:02] makuseru: change it from flat view to tree view [23:02] hmm, i was having issues installing ubuntu for a friend. I couldn't resize his existing ntfs partiton. I'm assuming because it's probably really fragmented [23:03] and his windows install is borked. I was trying to find another method of defragging first but there doesn't seem to be [23:03] mcquaid, whack it :) [23:03] soundray: I have read that page so many times... [23:03] how do you change the splash screen [23:03] ekim|linux, You may need to use ndiswrapper and the XP drivers to get it working. [23:03] I did... [23:03] !usplash | threethirty [23:03] threethirty: 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 [23:03] still nothing [23:03] and I know they are the right drivers because it worked on Damn Small Linux [23:03] but ubuntu is so much nicer :) [23:04] mcquaid: if he has an actual windows install CD, or you can make the floppies... you can defrag from recovery console, i believe [23:04] should i not use checkinstall for a kernel module package... [23:04] why wouldn't you ? [23:04] mcquaid: I believe that if the NTFS partition contains the windows boot operating system, you cannot change its size at all. === odin_ is now known as odin_blackblock [23:04] you might still want to install it [23:04] makuseru: DID YOU GET THAT? [23:04] not so [23:04] gparted can edit ntfs [23:04] riotkittie, yes he does have the windows install cd. I'll look into defragging from recovery console [23:04] dstadulis: no, that doesn't matter [23:04] billenium_: I looked through the help files. Again you need premium service. :( http://mail01.mail.com/scripts/help/help.cgi?type=single&lang=us&service=premiumService&subser=aLaCarte&topic=aLaCarte03 [23:04] hi again [23:05] dstadulis, i don't think that's correct. [23:05] dstadulis, You can resize it, I did when installing 7.10 [23:05] my mistake\ [23:05] i have tried some things now, restarted the x server, but still no borders while using beryl. [23:05] maybe it is only if your are booted in windows can you not resize it [23:05] is there a possible reason why this is happaning [23:05] damaltor: try alt-f2 emerald --replace [23:05] ? [23:06] billenium_: ? [23:06] do i need a software source add on [23:06] nickrud: i tried this command in xterm, but there nothing happens: no output, program seems to be running while nothing happens. [23:06] because i delted some in order to update ubuntu [23:06] billenium_: Are you still there? [23:07] i have smartmontools installed. what now? [23:07] damaltor: you should have an emerald in your systray; try right click and restart window manager [23:07] are there any known issues with firefox crashing the system ? [23:07] damaltor: this is from memory, I haven't run beryl under 7.04 for a while [23:07] any other solutions for me ? [23:08] .mov and some .mpeg files crash in any media player i use [23:08] nickrud: did so.. no effect [23:08] I installed the w32codecs [23:08] I am useing ubuntu 7.10 [23:08] ekim|linux: any relevant info in /var/log/messages when you rmmod/modprobe ndiswrapper? [23:08] Hi, I'm trying to move my home dir but having some troubles, this is what I did: I made a backup of my home dir. I mounted my newly created fat32 partition and copied my home dir contents to it. I deleted my home dir. I mounted my fat32 partition as my home dir (in fstab). Now I get this error: the gnome session manager was unable to lock the file .iceauthority.... [23:08] I'm running a pc connected to my tv for mythtv fun...the display is set to 60hz, and I can't alter the setting in the resolution thing to 50hz.. (output looks rubbish at 60hz on my tv for some reason) - how can I alter this down to 50hz? [23:08] Can someone possibly help me out with a bizarre sound problem? It seems that from time to time when I boot my laptop ubuntu doesn't want to recognize my soundcard.. [23:08] hetauma: no [23:08] I heard Gutsy upgrade is in order, any pointers [23:08] karel: you can't use fat as home [23:08] Shadow_X, uh, pastebin the output of sudo smartctl -a (hard drive) [23:09] quick question. i'm trying to dual boot XP and 7.10. XP is already installed. should i trust ubuntu to resize my partition or should i use somehting like Gparted [23:09] karel: fat doesn't support file permissions [23:09] seriously...you guys have nothing for me ? [23:09] nickrud: oh ok, that explains (and sucks), what can I use that will work on wind too? (without too much hassle) [23:09] SpamMaggnet: the backend will be the same, whether you use the installer or gparted [23:09] I need some help. my monitor blanks after 10 minutes if I have a program running like a movie or something else that doesn't require interaction. I have uninstalled dpms and acpi but it still does it. it doesn't happen in opensuse on the same machine. any ideas? [23:10] Shadow_X, to determine the hard drive, use mount and look at the entry for /. get rid of the numbers .. so no /dev/hda1 only /dev/hda [23:10] coolio: My feeling has been, if there is no pointed reason to do it....it's not worth it. [23:10] guys i'm having quite serious issues with Gutsy. I did a clean install of Gutsy today over my old Feisty install. Feisty was incredibly stable, but all day Gutsy has been locking up, and forcing me to power off. I've done 3 installs from scratch, but still no joy. Any suggestions as to where to start troubleshooting? [23:10] karel: why fat and not ntfs or ext3? [23:10] bjb1959: have you looked at the settings in System-Preferences-Power management ? [23:10] just wondering if i could skip a step and use the installer or not [23:10] Jimdb: can I decently use ntfs on linux now? [23:10] karel, ext2 works with windows with a installer [23:10] soundray, yes I shut off everything in screensaver and power management [23:10] karel: absolutely, ABSOLUTELY [23:11] karel, and ntfs-3g on linux enables you to read/write to ntfs partitions [23:11] shoot-: are the crashes reproducible or more-or-less random? [23:11] seemingly random :/ [23:11] karel: sourceforge.net has a program named something like ext2fs which is an ext2/3 file system device driver [23:11] kbrooks, its /dev/sda1 [23:11] its my external hard drive [23:11] I can't use the pidgin [23:11] i need help with transfering m4a files to my ipod. I use rythmbox and it copys mp3s fine only when i try to copy an m4a the file is there but will not play on the ipod, but rythmbox will play it from the remote ipod playlist but it skips every half second or so throughout the whole song. Ive tried gtkpod but aparently there is a gutsy bug that prevents me from loading local files so thats out. If someone knows how to help it would be greatly apreciat [23:11] hello, Is there a way to list the rights a particular group has? [23:12] soundray: any ideas? [23:12] Purp,Shoot: no big hassles with Feisty ...maybe I should wait [23:12] karel: that file is for accessing ext2/3 file systems under windows. [23:12] shoot-: have you changed anything else except OS? Any hardware modifications? [23:12] i have installed the ATI privative drivers, but cannot use desktop effects. Now t says: The Composite extension is not available [23:12] ubuntu 7.10..all my videos i watch with VLC comes out like its skipping ne ideas..i treid to install the restricted package [23:12] karel: there's a utility for reading/writing ext3 you can add to xp; fs-driver.org . I use another utitility, e2explore or someting, trying to remember the name :) [23:12] Sippy: Thought of converting the files? [23:12] bjb1959: no, seems strange [23:12] what about, I mount my fat32 as subdir of home? (Spares me the .xxxx files on windows) [23:12] soundray, not at all- its a laptop [23:12] i'm stoked that wireless works out of the box with 7.10 [23:12] Shadow_X, thats not the hard drive, /dev/sda is. but hold a second, maybe this error is temporary. however, if it still goes on, please check out the output of that [23:12] coolio: That is what I have done...If there is a reason you need gutsy or you really want it, go for it, but why mess with it, if it's working? [23:12] only the video the sound works at the normal speed [23:13] nickrud, Jimdb, kbrooks: thanks for the suggestions [23:13] I need some help. my monitor blanks after 10 minutes if I have a program running like a movie or something else that doesn't require interaction. I have shut off power management and screensaver, uninstalled dpms and acpi but it still does it. it doesn't happen in opensuse on the same machine. any ideas? [23:13] odd: id prefer not seeing as I have alot and ill get new ones all the time [23:13] karel: that works very well, having vfat under home [23:13] nickrud, explore2fs is what u problably looking for [23:13] guys [23:13] karel: we are basically saying give up the idea of fat32 === Blah is now known as DJF5 [23:13] shoot-: probably worth running memtest86 from the boot menu [23:13] idzied: ah, yes! Thanks, karel explore2fs [23:13] add-rational: im sooo sorry! my dogs got loose... So basically im screwed and i will have to be stuck with that email? [23:13] bjb1959: a lot of the movie players, specifically VLC have an option on that [23:13] does anyone here have any ideas on my problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=596117 ?? [23:13] Purp I would like it if I could somehow extend my battery life [23:13] some week ago i've installed some updates..since that days my monitor is 640x480. [23:13] Jimdb: yeah I know, but I'm also a little bit stuck with the fact that windows shows all my .xxxx files, while they should be hidden [23:13] maybe there's some tool for it [23:13] coolio: From what I hear gutsy is supposed to be able to do that [23:14] i have installed the ATI privative drivers, but cannot use desktop effects. Now t says: The Composite extension is not available [23:14] karel: you can turn them off under folder options on xp [23:14] soundray- i'll give it a go... but it would be incredible coincidence to coincide with gutsy like that if it was hardware [23:14] hi, new problems with my graphics card on Ubuntu. I'm trying to change the resolution, but the screen won't scale down, but rather just zoom in [23:14] soundray- any logs to check? [23:14] how do I fix this? [23:14] PurpZey: it happens with any program, lets say I start the web browser and then walk away for 10 minutes it goes blank until I move the mouse [23:14] Jimdb: are you sure that includes the .xxx files? (though only windows hidden files) [23:14] coolio: I am not saying don't do it, I mean, I have been thinking about it myself, for the same reason as you, but I see people having problems and I wonder if I won't kick myself...I can't say for sure if it's me [23:14] karel: windows shows it's own hidden and linux hidden files if you tell it to [23:14] i've tried to change the resolution in vain..ive just upfate the system to new 7.10 but the problemis still here..how can i set my resolution to 1280x1024 [23:14] i know this question does not belong here, but dont know where to ask it: how do i get mplayerplug-in to work in firefox and be the default wmv/asf player? [23:14] shoot-: maybe the new kernel is worse for supporting your specific ACPI [23:15] idzied: http://www.howforge.com/how-setup-fglrx-8-42-3-and-compiz-ubuntu-gutsy is good, tells you how to set up xorg.conf and compiz [23:15] Jimdb: ok, then maybe ext2 is the best option [23:15] soundray- quite possibly [23:15] bjb1959: Hmmm, not sure about that one... [23:15] soundray- is it possible to backdate the kernel? [23:15] Purp: no real time to sort out gutsy glitches, end of year,etc no time for hickups [23:15] shoot-: have a look under /proc/acpi -- esp. temperatures [23:15] any idea? [23:15] Is there a way to list all of the rights a particular group has? [23:15] anyone? [23:15] anyone know how to scale down the screen without zooming in? [23:15] I have a bad feeling I will need to reinstall. guess I'll break out aptoncd and get busy [23:15] how do I make a disk mount at boot time [23:15] must i install new ati drivers again my myself? [23:16] ?? [23:16] wundaboy: remove totem-mozilla , so mozilla-mplayer can work [23:16] karel: if you turn off the ability to show hidden files it will also turn off the linux hidden files [23:16] nickrud, ill try that, thanks [23:16] kbrooks, what do i need to do now, because this has happened constantly for a few weeks now [23:16] karel: ntfs-3g works perfectly under linux to read/write ntfs file systems [23:16] and i cant have my most used drive doing that [23:16] shoot-: that could be complicated. I would try a few boot options first thing [23:16] Jimdb: thanks [23:17] !bootoptions | shoot- [23:17] shoot-: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions [23:17] hello, need help [23:17] soundray, ok, will have a read [23:17] karel: to turn off hidden files under xp open an explorer window. choose tools. at the bottom is folder options. [23:17] soundray, is /var/log/system likely to help? [23:18] Shadow_X, ok, for now, i recommend that you take the data from your ext drive and compress it into a file to be put on your internal hard drive [23:18] no way itll fit lol [23:18] anyone here running ubuntu on a sparc and having firefox core dump and not able to run? i cant figure out why [23:18] shoot-: no, /var/log/syslog if anything. Have a look in there as a matter of good practice [23:18] karel: the dialogbox that pops up has several tabs. one is called view. under view select the advanced settings. scroll down and tell it to not show hidden files. [23:19] Shadow_X, you wont put the file back on the ext drive! [23:19] Jimdb: I know the setting, just didn't know it did linux filestoo [23:19] nickrud, i removed totem-mozilla, and now it trys to open it with totem movie player [23:19] then whats the point of even having the drive [23:19] shoot-: also, dmesg | less [23:19] guys after an upgrading i couldn't change my resloution..even after an updating to 7.10 my problemis still here [23:19] the whole purpose here is to fix the problem [23:19] not ignore it and bypass it [23:19] when i go edit->preferences and try to change the plugin it uses, it wont let me change anything [23:19] i can't set monitor resolution to 1280x1024 [23:19] shoot-: here's another hint: boot the gutsy Desktop CD and see if that runs stable [23:19] shape: welcome to the club [23:19] anyone can help me [23:19] ? [23:20] oh man!:-) [23:20] apparently not, b/c I asked the same question [23:20] you got to edit the evil xorg config [23:20] anti: fwiw, native support for your chipset will go into 2.6.24 [23:20] karel: i have multiple linux boxes and i share my home folder. it has lots of hidden files. I noticed they were showing under windows. I tried it just now and the hidden files/folders under linux disappeared. [23:20] do it wrong and it screws everything up [23:20] wundaboy: that's not how it works in linux firefox ; install mozilla-mplayer , remove totem-mozilla and it just works [23:20] tis great [23:20] is there a german ubuntu channel too? [23:20] Shadow_X, so it won't fit. hmm. well, i suspect that it is dying. please just pastebin the output of sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda [23:20] i was thinking that we should install video drivers again...but i'mnot sure [23:20] nickrud, hrmm, ill keep trying... [23:20] soundray- may i pm you the last log entry before the crash? (save clogging the channel with a paste) [23:20] shape, when you try to change your resolution, does it just zoom in? [23:20] hordag: na klar, #ubuntu-de [23:20] hordag, #ubuntu-de [23:20] shape, you may need to alter a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:21] shoot-: please paste it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and let us have the URL [23:21] nickrud, i have the glxinfo OK and running But it still says: The Composite extension is not available. Do you know what extension that is? [23:21] help! Compiz/gutsy with TwinView: how to assign a distinct cube face to each display ? and, errr -- Where is the doc about Display Settings / Multiple outputs ? :) ? [23:21] wundaboy: you may also need to install the w32codecs , if you haven't already [23:21] soundray, cool, no worries :) [23:21] my actual res is 640x480 [23:21] shape: I had trouble witg resolution and found that I just needed to add a line to this file [23:21] and i can't change any higher [23:21] go to [23:21] Jimdb: well, I just mounted my ext3 partition and disabled hidden files but I still see the dotted files... :S [23:21] idzied: did you edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to enable composite? [23:21] !fixres | shape [23:21] shape: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [23:21] shape: that is the same problem [23:21] is your card a legacy? [23:21] /etc/x11/xorg.conf [23:21] how would I go about changing the default hotkey buttons on my keyboard that automatically open programs like Rythmbox and Evolution, I would like to change these so that they open Amarok and Thunderbird respectively [23:21] Shadow_X, also i was gonna say "after you make the backup, replace your external drive" [23:22] karel: i haven't tried it as a mounted file system. i did it through networking. it hides them for me. [23:22] nickrud, no, but what line do i have to look for [23:22] idzied: that link I gave you, shows it exactly [23:22] so alli have to do i s to type :?dm restart? [23:22] "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" where you see a list of resolutions like that [23:22] ! [23:22] add yours [23:22] worked for me [23:22] anyone has debs for wine *.48? one winhq only *.47 to download [23:22] when I go to write to disk after it is done burning it will be bootable [23:23] karel: through networking the folder/files that are hidden (beginning with a .) they are slightly grayed. are yours black or gray? [23:23] kbrooks, Device: ST325082 0A Version: 3.AA [23:23] scsiModePageOffset: response length too short, resp_len=4 offset=4 bd_len=0 [23:23] >> Terminate command early due to bad response to IEC mode page [23:23] A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. [23:23] i tried 3rd times to install ubuntu from 3 different discs i burn and it keeping stuck in installation under "Configuring Apt"... what could be the prob? [23:23] Jimdb: well, it works on my mounted osx network share but not on my mounted ext3 partition [23:23] brandon: yes, if you have followed the advice under the link that ubotu gave you [23:23] how can I format /dev/sda4 as iso9660? [23:23] Shadow_X, do that - add those options [23:23] and now they aren't greyed out [23:24] idzied: in the sample xorg, you are interested in the Section "Device" in the middle and Section "Extensions" at the end [23:24] well I done that [23:24] INTit, that isn't helping [23:24] karel: what are you using to mount the ext3 file system under windows? [23:24] so here is goes [23:24] Does anyone know when they are going to finish the patch for the intel video drivers for 7.10? === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [23:24] nickrud, ok i'll checkit before asking, sorry [23:24] idzied: and section DRI [23:24] blizzkid: why on earth... [23:24] how do I select mine in xorg.conf? [23:24] kjt4x4, finish what patch? [23:24] LjL, because I have to boot from a dvd iso, and don't have a dvd-reader in this laptop [23:25] PriceChild: well i know that there is a major glitch right now running compiz effects if you have an intel card. [23:25] Jimdb: the ext2ifs thing [23:25] kjt4x4, mainly.... 965s are blacklisted so it won't start? [23:25] So, my computer apparently doesn't want to recognize my MBR -- if I use Super Grub Disk or the Ubuntu CD and try to boot off of my hard drive, everything's fine [23:25] blizzkid, i seriously doubt that formatting a HD partition as iso9660 would trick the BIOS into booting from it like it were a CD. actually, i'd say i find it totally unlikely. i think GRUB has some way of booting from actual ISO's stored on ext3, however [23:25] what do you guys think about mandriva [23:25] However, otherwise, it just reboots over and over on a black screen [23:25] brandon: we think it's offtopic [23:25] perrako, use gparted to mark your partition as bootable [23:25] cizarr, The Live cd stalled out on me too, give the alternate install cd a go, good buddy [23:25] ok [23:26] JDSBlueDevl you got to add it manually [23:26] Well idk im setting this computer thats pretty old it has on board graphic but it seems to have a hard time running desktop effects. [23:26] Jimdb: maybe it mounts them as normal folders and thus visible? [23:26] LjL, I found http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/booting-of-raw-iso-from-grublilo-though-preferably-grub-367901/ stating you have to format a harddisk partition as if it were a dvd [23:26] open it in a text editor [23:26] PriceChild: my partition is bootable, since I can boot into it from SGD or the Ubuntu CD -- do I need to mark it elsewhere for the GRUB to show up? [23:26] karel: probably the ext2fs program in error. It probably isn't reporting . files as the hidden type. [23:26] backup the file first [23:26] PriceChild: how can i figure out what driver my video card is using? i know that i can reconfigure it with dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [23:26] Jimdb: that's what I meant [23:26] buttercups> alt install cd? what should be the excact filename please? [23:26] how? my default is 1600x1200, and I'm trying to scale down to 1280x1024 [23:27] I think you should just request a Ubuntu Live CD off the website they work vary good Cause I burnt and it messed up every time [23:27] Bluebit, apt-get install mkisofs [23:27] karel: might want ot report that to them. [23:27] when I try to scale down, it just zooms in [23:27] blizzkid i meant [23:27] perrako, I've had this problem before... you need to explicitly mark a partition with the bootable flag [23:27] JDSBlueDevl: please try the advice on this link first: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto [23:27] nickrud, ok i got it to load up with mplayerplug-in, but it just says 'no video' [23:27] perrako, you can do this from the live cd, in gparted [23:27] soundray: just to check, does this represent a fresh system boot? "syslogd 1.4.1#21ubuntu3: restart." [23:27] blizzkid: "I haven't tried it yet. But, on the surface, it looks like it should work." that is a little... [23:27] shoot-: it's how it shows in /var/log/syslog, yes [23:27] PriceChild: I just installed gparetd, so I'll do it right here [23:28] I know LjL, but I didn't find anything else on booting from an iso [23:28] perrako, cool :) [23:28] Okay, let's give this a try! [23:28] wish me luck [23:28] cizarr, on the download Ubuntu page, check the box just under "start download", http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download === DocRohith is now known as execute === execute is now known as docrohith [23:29] blizzkid, or just dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sda4 (on your own risk of course :P) [23:29] buttercups: i see, thanks! :) [23:29] JDSBLueDevl - take note if you run the xorg configuration again and it screws the graphics up remember it automatically generates a backup with the current date in the same folder [23:29] blizzkid: I think your best chance is to ext3-format your partition and unpack the iso file contents to it. [23:29] NetRipper, no thanks ;) [23:29] saved me alot of trouble :) [23:29] karel: I tried to create a .hello file under ntfs in windows and it tells me I have to provide a filename. [23:30] soundray, and you think there will be a way to boot from it then? [23:30] blizzkid, that *is* the way to do it - assuming one really wants to do it by creating an iso9660 partition [23:30] ok [23:30] Jimdb: here too === docrohith is now known as executioner === executioner is now known as Rohith [23:31] blizzkid: yes. There are additional steps required -- I think I've seen a howto that showed the procedure for knoppix [23:31] kde4 on ub7.10? === Rohith is now known as DocRohith [23:31] power80it: you need to use a verb in order to make that into a question. [23:31] hi [23:32] um, what do u do when u have a bad superblock on a drive? [23:32] karel: if i create it on an ntfs partition via linux it creates it without issue. [23:32] I need some help please [23:32] I'm really new to Linux [23:32] Jimdb: so you would say: format it as ntfs? === DocRohith is now known as Ro [23:32] Kiborg: describe the problem, and keep everything on one line. === Ro is now known as DocRohith [23:32] karel: depends on your purpose. for me, personally the hidden files showing wouldn't be an issue. [23:33] soundray, I gues I have to point grub to a certain file then? [23:33] I'm trying to install ubuntu [23:33] blizzkid: yes [23:33] I hawe a partition that i made especially for [23:33] !enter | Kiborg [23:33] Kiborg: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [23:33] blizzkid: do you onyl need this for one time? (eg installing) [23:33] it in win [23:33] yes dany_21a [23:33] oh ok sorry! [23:33] I'm installing ubuntu 7.10 on a 320gb hdd and plan to dual boot windows xp. Does anyone have any recommendations for a partitioning plan? [23:34] soundray, you happen to know which file that would be? [23:34] helloo [23:34] blizzkid: than you can config grub just "on the fly" while booting (in its console) [23:34] scorcher7, you know how much you want windows to use? [23:34] blizzkid: i have setup my current box with this [23:34] ok, thanks for all the help Jimdb, going to sleep now [23:35] hello [23:35] blizzkid: in the case of knoppix, it's vmlinuz [23:35] dany_21a, but can it boot off an iso on ext3 or do I have to extract it first? [23:35] I'm not really sure how much windows needs. I just plan to use it for some games and apps that are windows only. [23:35] soundray, it's for ubuntustudio [23:35] blizzkid: you have to extract the kernel (vmlinuz) and the initrd to a readable partition (eg fat, ext2,...) [23:35] My problem is that I have a virtual disc for linux to use. I can't force it to install on it [23:36] blizzkid: but the iso must be as real partion... not residing in an other partition as file [23:36] blizzkid: (i have used a 2GB flash usb stick) [23:36] dany_21a, I have a separate partition to extract the iso to [23:36] what do u do when u have a bad superblock on a drive? [23:36] I can't use USB to boot from [23:37] please someone help me make this stop! i tried to play a movie in VLC and now the sound wont stop skipping (even though i've closed VLC) and this happens everytime i try to watch something.....rhythmbox dose the same thing with my mp3s but doesnt continue once i close the program..... [23:37] blizzkid: okay... mount the iso (with mount ... -o loopback) and extract the vmlinux and initrd to a ext2 partition [23:37] Kiborg: forget about virtual disks. Ubuntu needs a partition of its own. Install from the Desktop CD -- the installer will offer to shrink your Windows partition to make space. === Shinigami is now known as kevind23 [23:37] and dd the iso to the spare partiotion you have [23:37] that is unacceptable [23:37] hold on dany_21a [23:37] blizzkid: if you unsure what i mean, ask first and i exlpain in detail [23:38] My win partition can't be shrinked [23:38] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42624/ [23:38] dany_21a, can I message you not to miss out on things? [23:38] soundray: the last few lines before each restart.... [23:38] Kiborg: if you can't repartition, install Linux under VMware Server in Windows [23:38] blizzkid: okay [23:38] scorcher7, for windows figure ~6GB plus whatever you need for programs [23:38] soundray: looks like it might be linked to networking somehow? [23:38] Is there no way to install it on virtual HD? [23:38] where can i modify the default shortcuts in thunar / on the desktop? [23:39] whats the name of the default ubuntu emailclient? [23:39] jannen: evolution [23:39] Kiborg: what do you mean virtual HD? [23:39] thanks Odd-rationale [23:39] on the video mode screen, how do I move the asterisk? [23:39] shoot-: is eth1 your wireless interface? [23:39] astri76, so 20GB for windows would be about right? [23:40] soundray: yes, it is :) [23:40] scorcher7, sounds reasonable but you mentioned games and they can be bulky [23:40] When I close the screen, my monitor doesn't blank... I'm running Gutsy on an Inspiron E1505. Any ideas? [23:40] I'm having problems with totem-xine. Whenever I try to play a video file, it says that it doesn't have the proper codec to open the file, even though it should have the proper codec [23:40] I'm having a little bit of a problem with a real slow PATA drive [23:40] it is showing up in my system as sda so I can't use hdparm to do anything about it [23:40] astro76, do I need a /boot for ubuntu and how big should / be? [23:40] I have 120 GB disc I formated it all. Made 20 GB partition for WIN and 10 GB for linux [23:40] scorcher7, you don't no. [23:40] blizzkid, this may be worth reading, even though it's for fedora it describes a solution: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~colohan/docs/fedora_upgrade.html [23:41] !pastebin [23:41] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [23:41] can someone help me fix my problem.....so far the only way i know how to fix this is by reinstalling........i dont wish to do that [23:41] Ee [23:41] scorcher7, no /boot needed... you want to make /home separate? [23:41] astro76, yes [23:41] when upgrading to ubuntu 7.10 gutsy it tries to install a wifi driver that doesnt fully work with my rtl 8185 card and i need ndiswrapper instead any help would be much loved [23:41] Kiborg: if it's a "virtual partition", forget it. It won't install. Make a proper one. [23:41] how do I toggle an option in xorg-xconfig? [23:41] scorcher7, with your big drive I'd probably make / ~16 GB, whatever swap you need and the rest /home [23:42] thx NetRipper I'm going to give that a shot [23:42] :-( So no linux for me then [23:42] kiborg what? [23:42] I have 2GB of ram how big should swap be? [23:42] no need [23:42] * kevind23 is having a problem with wine [23:42] please someone help me make this stop! i tried to play a movie in VLC and now the sound wont stop skipping (even though i've closed VLC) and this happens everytime i try to watch something.....rhythmbox dose the same thing with my mp3s but doesnt continue once i close the program..... [23:42] 2gb of ram neeeds no swap [23:42] I'm not formatting it again! [23:42] shoot-: just as an experiment, try blacklisting your wireless driver. If your problems go away, you know their origin... [23:42] i have 2GB of swap for 2GB ram [23:43] trying to run photoshop which apparently works fine in wine [23:43] * manicnerd has been listening to a skipping mp3 file for the past 20 minutes [23:43] wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x0303c466 at address 0x7bc4186a (thread 0009), starting debugger...

[23:43] it is [23:43] scorcher7, I'd still at least use a small one, 256 MB... do you want to hibernate? [23:43] personally twice the ram size for swap [23:43] hi all [23:43] Kiborg: just let the installer do it. [23:43] here is output from hdparm: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42625/ [23:43] soundray: how do you mean, blacklisting? [23:43] anyone have any bright ideas? [23:43] !blacklist | shoot- [23:43] scorcher7, again you have plenty of disk so 1 GB swap wouldn't kill you [23:43] shoot-: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » [23:43] but anything over 1 gig of ram needs no swap [23:43] manicnerd: kill the app process [23:43] christopher: it can be sufel to stop out of ram errors in some curcumstances starting things like vms etc... but whatever im not going to argue ;-) [23:43] does anyone know how to toggle an option in xserver-xorg in the terminal? [23:43] I need OCR software for ubuntu, is there any available? [23:43] When I close the screen, my monitor doesn't blank... I'm running Gutsy on an Inspiron E1505. Any ideas? [23:43] its like a hard disk ram thing [23:43] shoot-: not sure, I think the module name is ipw2200 [23:43] I see a bunch of asterisks, but I don't know how to turn them on/off [23:43] LiMaO: i did....the sound hasnt stopped [23:44] preferably something simple. like, just converting images to text. [23:44] shoot-: not sure, but I think the module name is ipw2200 [23:44] JDSBlueDevl, space ? [23:44] so with 2 gig of ram linux has yet to use anything like that for a home user [23:44] sry [23:44] manicnerd: did you kill the process or just closed the application? [23:44] thx [23:44] soundray- cheers matey. its been stable for as long as i've been chatting to you, which is a vast improvement. when it crashes again i'll give it a go. do you idle here? [23:44] So....1GB swap just to be safe. 16GB /, 30GB windows, 273GB /home? Should those all be primary partitions? [23:44] LiMaO: i killed the process (the number you get from doing 'ps aux' ?) [23:45] scorcher7, make windows first and primary, the rest don't matter [23:45] shoot-: no, I will log off soon, but there are always helpful people around. [23:45] LiMaO: i tried playing a movie in VLC and the sound skipped....killed VLC and the sound hasnt stopped....this happened before and i rebooted and the same thing happened....so i'm not going to reboot till i can find a fix [23:45] So windows should be /dev/sda1? [23:46] manicnerd: just a sec, i'll help ya [23:46] soundray, alright. Thank you so much mate, I appreciate all of your help :) [23:46] scorcher7, yes I think windows needs to be first primary, I always set them up that way [23:46] LiMaO: sweet [23:46] NetRipper, I don't think it'll work for ubuntustudio, as the installation process is completely different [23:46] astro: i have windows as sda4 on this computer [23:46] I need some ocr software, is there any that i can run on ubuntu [23:46] ? [23:46] scorcher7, also lately I've been putting swap partition as close to the center as possible, to minimize head thrashing if swap is used ;) [23:46] myusrn1: gocr [23:46] macos as sda2 and efi as sda1 though so i don't know how much that changes things [23:47] myusrn1: also tesseract, but I don't think there's a ubuntu package for it [23:47] are there any programs that will rip to mp3? all i can find are programs that rip to ogg [23:47] lame [23:47] makuseru, if you install lame most of the programs will offer an mp3 option then [23:47] myusrn1: oops, I'm wrong... [23:47] i was just wondering. does memtest86 in gutsy usually take long, or do i have to stop it myself? (it's been over an hour now) [23:47] Okay, thanks for all of your help. I will go and partition my new computer. [23:47] there should be a gui for it [23:47] makuseru: sound-juicer will, see the documentation about preferences (the section in red) [23:47] fanin, you have to stop it [23:47] !info tesseract-ocr | myusrn1 [23:47] myusrn1: tesseract-ocr: Command line OCR tool.

Everytime I enter my custom greeting, when I restart, it automatically switches to the default greeting! Why? === Cadoras is now known as Khado [23:48] astro76: ok, thanks, its been going on and on :D [23:48] fanin: if it's been error-free for an hour, that's a good result, but purists will run it for a week :) [23:48] i got gocr, but need pbm files? how can i convert to this format? [23:48] which is better beryl or compiz? [23:48] !beryl | jebblue [23:48] jebblue: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [23:48] alright [23:48] compiz is a merg between beryl and compiz. compiz is newer [23:48] makuseru: docs have changed, not red but still at the bottom there [23:49] ubotu: beryl works better with kde [23:49] how do I set a glass theme? [23:49] astro76 ok thanks [23:49] sparr: beryl is a bot. [23:49] myusrn1: use netpbm tools or imagemagick. But give tesseract a try, it's supposed to be *much* better [23:49] heh [23:49] sparr: er, ubotu. [23:49] Pici: i, sadly, know that [23:49] sparr: :p [23:49] astro76: beryl works better with kde [23:49] LiMaO: there were more processes left...the sound has stopped....but if i try to watch anything/listen to anything it happens again [23:49] What does Ubuntu use for the compiz settings, how is the application named? (I have no Ubuntu Gutsy machine to check for myself here) [23:49] ubotu is a bot [23:49] Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information. [23:50] Question: If I have an external harddrive that I want to use to backup my linux partitions, how can I format the external hardrive to ext3 or whatever Ubuntu uses? [23:50] manicnerd: i knew there were some processes left =P anyway, maybe you're having a problem with your video player [23:50] can I set a glass theme on ubuntu without emerald?? [23:50] manicnerd: does it have the same problem playing different kind of files? [23:50] jrattner1: with gparted [23:50] jrattner1: gparted [23:50] soundray, thank you [23:51] any way to get tesseract on edgy ? [23:51] LiMaO: yes.....so far i've tried an avi and some mp3s.....same thing happens [23:51] jrattner1: jrib was quicker :) [23:51] jrattner1, qtparted is better in my experience. [23:51] is it hard to manually partition? [23:51] Kiborg: are you listening to me? [23:51] gluonman, doesn't seem to be the case anymore, in fact system rescue cd has switched to gparted [23:51] manicnerd: have you tried some other video player? [23:51] astro76, really? [23:52] gluonman, indeed [23:52] i've tried mPlayer and VLC....both gave problems [23:52] astro76, I've had nothing but bad experience with gparted. qtparted just worked. [23:52] LiMaO: and rhythmbox [23:52] gluonman, a year or so ago I'd agree with you ;) [23:52] LiMaO: all 3 programs have problems [23:52] hey guys [23:52] How can I get protected DVD's to play under Gutsy?

[23:56] can I upgrade to gutsy using only the console?

With this new card and all the dedicated memory (256 MB), there should be a decrease in the main memory usage (it's using up 460 MB of the main 512 MB). This is the same with my old legacy card.

[23:57] basically my online adaptor used to connect the computer with ubuntu to the internet doesnt function on ubuntu [23:57] I have the driver, but I don't really know what to do with it [23:57] I tried using ndisgtk, and installing the driver that way [23:57] is there a way to check for updates, but not download them, using apt-get? [23:57] can somebody guide me? All I am getting are errors [23:57] but this user doesn't have root privileges [23:57] I tried using ndisgtk, and installing the driver that way [23:57] it doesnt seem to work, you know the little white window that says what drivers are installed? Theres nothing there. And if I try to reinstall the same driver it says driver already installed [23:58] JDSBlueDevl: no, there shouldn't.
