[00:00] mcquaid: GL desktop has never launched for me. ever. [00:00] mcquaid: it doesn't matter what other people does - tell us the problem [00:00] countercs: Or restart the gdm/kdm with ctrl-alt-backspace [00:00] Pici thats probably the problem [00:00] !register [00:00] riotkittie, try launching it twice. ikonia I already did [00:00] hey, has anyone here had any success setting up gnome-vfs to access the pocket pc? [00:00] Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration [00:01] i got kubuntu 7.06 [00:01] i got kubuntu 7.06, is 7.10 better to install? [00:01] didn't get a response, which i know can happen as lots of people asking lots of questions. So by people just telling me if it launches for them would give me some info [00:01] You mean 6.06 or 7.04? [00:01] ohh [00:01] 7.04 [00:01] ye [00:01] hm. i dont even have it in my menus anymore, mcquaid. [00:01] guys..can anoyne just try helping me with this question.. IS ubuntu going to release a version for the cell processor..as in Playstation 3 or Mac computer..anyone? [00:01] anywhere.. [00:01] @yasou: oh my god, there it is!!! [00:02] redheat: There is a ppc version of Ubuntu. [00:02] !ppc | redheat [00:02] redheat: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ [00:02] redheat: I'm pretty sure a ps3 version exists [00:02] redheat: And some people have gotten Ubuntu to run on PS3, check the forums, I dont have a link on me at the moment for a wiki page about it. [00:02] Well, who cares abut PPC? They don't use them anymore, it's just an intel now [00:02] gnome-vfs anyone? [00:02] hey [00:02] [00:02] [00:02] [00:02] [00:02] [00:02] [00:02] It runs fine on PS3 [00:02] [00:02] genii i wait more then 60 seconds and press ctrl-alt-backspace. Still wont log in [00:02] [00:02] hey [00:02] Trolllo99: grats, you may install ntfs-3g now [00:02] @yasou: you saved my day!!!! [00:02] i got kubuntu 7.06, is 7.10 better to install? [00:02] Trolllo99: gotta go [00:02] redheat: eg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3 [00:03] i got kubuntu 7.04, is 7.10 better to install? [00:03] genii, pici, and my big friend Ubutu.. [00:03] maybe there's a poor AIX machine out there that needs ubuntu on it [00:03] khajx: What do you mean? [00:03] @for what is ntfs-3g? [00:03] riotkittie, hmm, I noticed it's optional in motu... so if it's an optional package what is the default way of enabling/disabled compiz etc in gutsy? [00:03] i mean, is 7.10 is a better release? [00:03] countercs: You can reset your password if you have a livecd around and can boot to it. [00:03] khajx: its newer. [00:03] Trolllo99: ntfs-3g is the one and only godlike ntfs-driver with save write-support [00:03] khajx: You can just update your existing to .10, but I'd recommend reinstalling... [00:03] hey [00:03] [00:03] [00:03] [00:03] [00:03] [00:03] hey [00:03] thank you all..the main reason for asking about this, is because I'm looking for a newer version to install on my PS3..I already had yellow dog linux, but itś running a bit slow, not utilizing all power of PS3 cell processor.. [00:03] [00:03] [00:04] ok! thanks... [00:04] one more thing [00:04] * genii smacks jarneo around a bit [00:04] bah too late :) [00:04] the only program that does this now..OpenSuse 10.3..it is running so fast on the ps3.. [00:04] because of its kernel [00:04] if i want to install compiz-fusion, what packages should i install? [00:04] H! [00:04] Hi! [00:04] hi! [00:04] [00:04] mcquaid: if it can run, its enabled by default. it can be disabled via system menu> preference > appearance menu. and then there's the optional compizconfig-settings-manager pkg for tweaking. [00:04] khajx: For 7.10? It's standard, don't know about 7.06 [00:05] hairulfr: the gparted boots up correctly, and is now checking my filesystem (which seems to take forever) [00:05] hairulfr: what do you mean, its standard? [00:05] @yasuo: thx man, i really keep it in mind! props from germany ^^ [00:05] betamale: Cool, glad it has come so far, hope you get it to work :) [00:05] countercs: eg: boot to livecd.mount the partition that is normally your / partition. chroot there. Then do passwd [00:05] ah thx riotkittie, surprised i didn't notcie that. going to remove gl desktop [00:05] Is there anyway to tell what is collecting my keyboard signals my Super+C binding in amarok is not working and im trying to find the culprit [00:05] khajx: It's in there by default, you don't need to install it, just acitvate it [00:06] cool... [00:06] how do i do that? [00:06] knifepoint: I'm guessing compiz if you are running it. [00:06] Trolllo99: maybe you would be fster helped in #ubuntu-de and i hadnt torture myself to write in english XD [00:06] hairulfr: so do I; brand new work-laptop, this is totally stressing me out :-Z [00:06] uhh.. is it just me, or is the virtualbox-ose package in ubuntu suddenly looking better? [00:06] If there any way to check the temperature of my nvidia card just with the open source nv driver? [00:06] khajx: in 7.10: preferences - apperance - Visual effects [00:06] it look like it was using gtk1 before [00:06] heh, i thought doing ctrl alt f key to a term and back killed X, but i just discovered X is tied to f9 for me now instead of f7... wonder why that switched [00:06] hmmm [00:07] Pici: Checked all the compiz bindings couldn't find it painstakingly went through every plugin and removed all super+c [00:07] cool [00:07] I know nvidia-settings does it if you have nvidia, the proprietary driver, installed. [00:07] how to boot to livecd.mount [00:07] betamale: Yeah, it sounds like a weird fault though, [00:07] knifepoint: hm.. thats odd. [00:07] do i use the boot cd [00:07] live cd [00:07] hey, I just switched to kubuntu from gentoo (some trifling issue that I just didn't have time to compile myself out of) and I suddenly noticed that my computer got really slow, at first I assumed it to just be my gentoo elitism, but after looking into it I noticed that ubuntu has my Athlon X2 clocked to 1ghz when it is actually 2.2ghz [00:07] countercs: Yes. A howto of how to use this way is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=273531 since I must leave shortly [00:08] Pici: its probably not possible to find out which program is using it ey. Super+v works so ill guess ill just use that. [00:08] hey guys [00:08] anyone around [00:08] hairulfr: and if i downloaded the kubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso, the cd desktop release, compiz should be there if i install it? [00:08] Hi All [00:08] how do I make ubuntu actually give me my proper clock speed? [00:08] anyone offering help? [00:08] knifepoint: I dont know how to go about getting what program is captuing the key [00:08] khajx: It is in there by default, yes, :) [00:08] schleyfox: what kernel are you running? [00:08] ok [00:08] ok [00:08] ok [00:08] Solarus: just ask here.

[00:09] khajx: To get more control [00:09] I want to be able to use the mapped drive as a virtual box repository for virtuals [00:09] schleyfox: And where are you seeing that its clocked to 1ghz?

[00:09] hey everyone [00:10] Pici: /proc/cpuinfo and whereever my superkaramba desktop display gets it [00:10] Does anyone else in here use the virtualbox-ose package in the Ubuntu repositories?

Does anyone know how to do this? [00:10] Solarus, smbmount [00:11] schleyfox: And you're sure that you havent accidentally underclocked with your bios? I had that happen on a few occasions with my AMD desktop. [00:11] nope [00:11] worked fine in gentoo a few days ago [00:11] movi: any specific reason why? [00:11] haven't been in my bios for months [00:11] I will take a look at that [00:11] thanks [00:11] it is installing now [00:12] hairulfr: im currently running on the CD desktop, and you said , go to preferences - appearance - visual effects , but i cant find it here.... [00:12] where is the preferences menu? [00:12] guys need your help please [00:12] Is someone use an ASUS M2N4-SLI here ? [00:13] I just installed Kubuntu on gutsy gibbon 7.10..and when I was asked about the type of manager to choose from GDM or KDM I chose KDM [00:13] hairulfr: it just fixed a whole lot of errors, and the system boots again. sort of. I get dropped instantly to the root prompt(!). but progress, thanks again. [00:13] but I didn't know that I cannot login as root under KDM how can I switch back to gdm [00:13] Hi , I'm installing ubuntu over pxe , i 'am using the netboot cd , and I want to create a local mirror install cd , how can i do that for 7.10? [00:13] ToinSolo: i have an m2n-e, what did you need? [00:13] good, kdm pwnz gdm [00:14] what was the name of the dev tools for ubuntu? [00:14] !root | redheat [00:14] redheat: 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 [00:14] great..but I wanna login as root..therefore I need to set gdm as main desktop manager [00:14] chi11y: libc-something-dev where something is the version [00:14] oh ok.. [00:14] hairulfr: im currently running on the CD desktop, and you said , go to preferences - appearance - visual effects , but i cant find it here.... where do i find preferences menu?: [00:14] guru : yes, i only have wifi here, ubuntu doesnt support it out of the box (Macbook C2D) [00:14] guru >> Any distrib doesn't detect USB sound and eth right (debian, ubuntu or other) any ideas ? [00:14] thanks..but what If I want to change the display manager from KDM to GDM? what should I do? [00:15] guru: isn't there a universal package with all the compilers and stuff? [00:15] and Mac OS X doesnt have subversion built in [00:15] schleyfox: I'm really not sure what the issue is.. I personally would start by looking at the BIOS, but if you're sure that its good.. then you could try looking on bugs.ubuntu.com [00:15] chilly: build-essential [00:15] chi11y: none that i'm aware of - i'm a perl and c hacker so those are the only two i typically install [00:15] thanks toma- that was what I was looking for [00:15] khajx: preferences is under System in Gnome. [00:15] np [00:15] kpowersave shows that something is clocking my cpu down [00:15] khajx: What, well, it's the live cd, you can't install a driver on a cd or into the ram, :) [00:15] guys is there a way to change the default desktop manager from KDM to GDM? [00:15] ToinSolo: manually edit them to be correct i suppose, i have that same issue with a couple of usb devices [00:16] it shows it at about right [00:16] redheat: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm [00:16] ok [00:16] khajx: You need to install ubuntu [00:16] movi: give me the svn line and i'll do it for you [00:16] ubuntu or kubuntu? [00:16] schleyfox: Also try the forums. [00:16] khajx: Sabayon Linux has working 3D desktio though [00:16] redheat, try just typing gdm after you booted up into kde [00:16] khajx: From live cd [00:16] khajx: But it's buggy [00:16] khajx: Kubuntu doesnt have compiz installed by default. [00:16] guru >> let me some minutes to beback under nunux, and then I will be able to explain without mistake [00:16] redheat, it might ask you if you want to make it the default, not sure though [00:16] schleyfox: it's called cputhrottle or something similar, it's either running as a module or compiled into the kernel [00:16] khajx: ubuntu, don't use kubuntu [00:17] Does anyone else in here use the virtualbox-ose package in the Ubuntu repositories? [00:17] ok [00:17] ok [00:17] ok [00:17] ok [00:17] ok, I found the option to override the default CPU clock down fanny bandit, cpu cycle stealing policy and am looking forward to good performance again [00:17] ToinSolo: i'm not going anywhere anytime soon [00:17] hehehe, thanks...

[00:18] man I am indebted to you guys/gals..truely thankful for the support.. [00:19] so i understand ubuntu is better right? [00:19] bpat1434: use that as a starting point; you'll have to merge in the video card specific entries into your own xorg.conf file. you will most likely also have to change the pci bus id [00:19] take care everyone and have a nice day [00:19] khajx: Not better, just different. [00:19] Pici, yes I am [00:19] i just want to run compiz on linux! [00:19] chi11y: gtk2-engines-murrine is in the repositories [00:19] guru: thanks, will walk through it now....

[00:20] CAn someone help me break a firefox plugin into submission? [00:20] (though i think i more or less need assistance with mime types [00:20] guru: can TwinView do an extended desktop setup? [00:20] has anybody had trouble getting totem-xine to work on gutsy ? [00:20] khajx: I prefer gnome, I think KDE is ugly. Yes, it looks great, just install it, man! You can run KDE and GNOME at the same time, just select from login screen, :) [00:20] guru: or will I have to use Xinerama? [00:20] bpat1434: no, for that you'll want dualview [00:20] khajx: If you install KDE into Ubuntu [00:21] and it looks good? i mean, is it smooth? [00:21] so does nobody here use a pocket pc with gutsy? [00:21] xinerama works but dualview can do it without xinerama [00:21] guru: is there a huge config difference between dualview and twinview? [00:21] guru: or is it just the words [00:21] bpat1434: not really [00:21] ok [00:21] ok [00:21] guru: so Option "DualView" "1" is what i'll need? [00:21] Thanks everybody!.. gonna download!

Cannot connect to machine through ssh via the local network, [00:31] !minimal | tnek [00:31] tnek: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[00:32] guru - yup. been done.

I need an application to launch based on it's embedding on a website, [00:32] kjm: can you ssh into localhost from the machine [00:32] ? [00:32] Can someone please help with "Authentication failed" in update manager when upgrading to gutsy ? [00:32] kjm: anything in dmesg or /var/log/? [00:32] Pici - yes.

[00:33] also, what is up with the new package manager? It really isn't as good as synaptic :( [00:34] does cp -r * preserve all file permissions? [00:34] guru - nothing ssh related in dmesg, can't seem to see anything in /var/log [00:34] comicinke1: -p = preserve [00:34] kjm: new package manaer? [00:34] ubotu / Odd-rationale: Does it contain the kernel configured for a desktop system or a server system? That's what's been holding me back. I do want the desktop version of the kernel, as I hear it has support for more hardware. Or am I wrong? What do you guys think about that? [00:34] Pici - not that I know of - installed firestarter, but don't have it running. [00:34] afk [00:34] Pici - fully update system. [00:34] kjm: What about /var/log/auth.log [00:34] Zippy2: thanks [00:34] tnek you're talking to a bot [00:34] kjm: sorry about the package managre question, wrong person. [00:34] Pici, yes, the add/remove applications thing [00:34] kjm: that's odd. can you ping the machine from another host? [00:34] its not synaptic [00:35] comicinke1: I thought... cp might do as root [00:35] and it doesnt find all the packages either [00:35] kizzard: Synaptic is still there. [00:35] CutoXombi: He he, thought he was fast. :-) But Odd-rationale ain't a bot right? [00:35] yeah I know [00:35] kizzard, GUI only packages, it's for beginners really [00:35] guru - no ping. auth.log shows these lines: [00:35] Nov 2 20:27:29 Endor sshd[21678]: Server listening on :: port 22.

[00:35] oops, sorry about flood. [00:35] ah ok astro76 thanks [00:35] kjm: "sudo netstat -ltnp" should show you what is taking up the tcp port [00:35] what about screensavers? the old config used to let you set prefs for each screensaver [00:35] adope flash player or gnash SWF player? [00:35] which is better? [00:36] kjm: you already have something running on port 22 [00:36] enyc: I would have done it as root. but maybe -a sounds good, too :P [00:36] zipper, depends on your definition... if you value free software than gnash, if you want to run all flash stuff now, adobe ;) [00:36] shows this: tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 21678/sshd [00:36] kizzard: Yes, Gnome decided that screensaver preferences were bad. They removed the config, not Ubuntu. There are ways to replace gnome-screensaver with xscreensaver, but you're going to have to do some research. I bet theres a thread on it at the forums. [00:36] ok, pici, thanks [00:36] kjm: you can't ping the host? [00:36] zipper: Adobe if you actually want Flash software to run. Gnash if you want to run something which doesn't work well due to philosophical reasons. [00:37] kjm: that means sshd is running already... listening on ipv6+ipv4 port :22 [00:37] guru - not from remote machine. Can ping local host. [00:37] kjm: (on all interfaces) [00:37] astro76: well, i care about free software... but then again, i really like my restricted nvidia drivers so =/ [00:37] thx [00:37] zipper, yeah gnash isn't quite there yet [00:37] kjm: sudo iptables -t net --list [00:37] tnek: No I'm not a bot :) I believe it is the same. [00:37] enyc: but the local address for ssh is :::22 - is this not weird? [00:37] is there something like a media-center software for linux? I would like to rip my DVDs and have them stored on the network so that I wanna watch a DVD, I can just use a computer which is hooked up to my TV. [00:37] kjm: see if there is anything listed there for port 22 [00:38] kjm: no... that means its on 'all interfaces' [00:38] guru: I have in my second screen some options for AddARBG(GLX)Visuals set to true, should I put them in place for both screens or just one?

All right. :-) [00:38] guru: okay, and what about defining "DualView", on just one or both? [00:38] : can't initialize iptables table 'net': Table does not exist (do you need insmod?) [00:39] guru ^^ [00:39] bpat1434: you can either use dualview or twinview, not both at the same time [00:39] kjm: did you find anything? [00:39] iptables not seem to exist ---- [00:39] Odd-rationale: I've got the alternate install already. So I think I'll try it. Was mostly worried about kernels and which one is most "bare". But if the difference is merely on the install cd-size, it doesn't matter to me. [00:39] ahh, so that's not the problem [00:39] guru: no, I meant that do I want to declare the option in both Screen sections or just the main "default" monitor section? [00:39] Odd-rationale: Thanks! [00:39] kjm: kjm imagine you machine has more than 1 ip address [00:40] kjm: i'd say you have something really funky going on...are you trying to ssh into the machine running sshd from outside the LAN or from within the LAN? [00:40] kjm: infact it has 127.0.0.1 and whatever network interfaces too [00:40] yes, I get that - so ssh is listening on all addresses (localhost, 127.0.0.1 etc. etc.)? [00:40] kjm: exactly [00:40] bpat1434: just the main [00:40] okay === Nyle_ is now known as Nyle [00:40] time to restart X ;) [00:40] guru - from within the LAN (ssh from machine 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.101). [00:41] tnek: I don't think the alternative cd will let you install just the a terminal, though [00:41] kjm: ubuntu starts cups (printing) bound to 127.0.0.1:631 instead of :::631/0.0.0.0:631 so it is implicitly only available on local machine due to the fact the loopback interface is only available on the local machine ;-) [00:41] kjm: so that is _not_ available on the notwork until set to listen on all [00:42] kjm: do you have more than one nic installed on the sshd server? === theman is now known as blahblah [00:42] umm..how do I update the source.list after editing it? [00:42] anyone know a good linux program to convert avi to dvd [00:42] ok, but ssh is set to listen for inboud connections - so, it should work. Would a purge of all things ssh and a reinstall rectify it? [00:42] guru - nope, [00:42] !mount [00:42] 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 [00:42] HI. Does anyone use UDF file system? (on CD-RW DVD+RW, etc..) [00:42] Odd-rationale: Aha. It puts a new light on things... Well, it's burning now so the disc is wasted anyway. I'll try it and report back in some minutes. [00:42] fresh: sudo apt-get update [00:43] cool thanks [00:43] enyc: it depends on the application. for apache 0.0.0.0:80 means listen for incoming connections from anywhere on port 80 [00:43] guru: well TO any ipv4 ip:80 [00:43] Is anyone here able to help me try to save my windows partition? It doesnt boot anymore, and while I did back up most of my data there is something I would like to get off of it. [00:43] its an emergency does any one know a good program to make .avi to dvd format so i can watch it on my dvd player [00:43] do you know how to disable the device is mounted automatically? [00:43] ok, some progress - I have noticed that my ipaddress is 192.168.0.100, but the broadcast address it something different - could this be screwing things up? [00:43] guru: it doesnt specify source ip on the socket.... can you do that under linux at all at the socket level? [00:43] kjm: what is the broadcast address? [00:44] tnek: I think the minimal cd is what you're looking for. [00:44] 192.168.0.255 [00:44] enyc: of course. how else would connections work from other addresses? [00:44] do you know how to disable the device is mounted automatically by booting? [00:44] kjm: that's correct. that's dhcp related stuff [00:44] guru: i think you miss point [00:44] Odd-rationale: Thanks, I'll be downloading it shortly. :-) I'm about to try Ratpoison. Oo [00:45] Hello, I am a newbie trying to setup a network server on Ubuntu. Can anyone tell me what package to use? [00:45] guru: remote IP [Foreign Address] on socket is 0.0.0.0:* [00:45] kjm: kjm are you locally on the machine where sshd is installed? [00:45] guru: so any remote could connect [00:45] guru - yes, I am on it right now. [00:45] kjm: ping google.com [00:45] kjm: i suspect networking is not working [00:45] hi and good night from spain [00:45] tnek: the mini is less than 10 MB ! [00:46] guru: have you ever seen the listen socket such that the Foreign Address is specified? -- i.e. a special way to actually only accept connections from a particular remote at the socket level? [00:46] guru - ah, but then I couldn't be chatting with you :) No problem pinging google. [00:46] enyc: yes, i have [00:46] guru: when/where etc? [00:46] kjm: ahh ok. i presumed that you were chatting from another [nearby] machine [00:46] what's a good mp3 editing too? I want to chop off the first 1:00min and the last 30 secs of an mp3 [00:46] sigh. i do believe it's high time to get rid of my dapper install :| [00:46] qazwsx, audacity [00:47] qazwsx: audacity [00:47] Hey guys. My xorg crashses when I try to open up a specific program in wine. Is there anyway I can get a log file of it so that I may troubleshoot? [00:47] if I apt-get purge ssh-server would that remove config files in /etc? [00:47] kjm: try restarting sshd : /etc/init.d/ssh restart [00:47] ch0desmuggler: /var/log/Xorg.0.log is the log for X [00:47] guru - I've done that many times - no joy. [00:47] ch0desmuggler: it might be Xorg.0.log.old also if you restarted X the 0 can be 1 and so on [00:47] but i am really lazy, and lacking the ability to easily backup anything on that hd. hm. [00:47] kjm, yes, but apt-get remove --purge [00:48] kjm: i'm afraid i'm out of ideas [00:48] Is anyone here able to help me try to save some of my windows data? I used PartitionMagic to resize my drive before I installed ubuntu, and the ubuntu install didnt detect the windows installation. [00:48] kjm, if it's still installed [00:48] guru: when/where etc? [00:48] guru: didn't work. I'll paste my xorg.conf from after I edited it. [00:48] kitche: I see. I'll give that a look over [00:48] enyc: i don't know that you can do it at the socket level but i know you can do it (think iptables) [00:48] Odd-rationale: Ah. Sorry for marking words. When you said "i think" I thought "What the heck, I'm already burning it now I can give it a try" and that I would go with the mini afterwards. :-) But if it's unpossible I'll download the mini right away. [00:48] guru - thanks anyways. I've never had issues with ssh, so I'm flumoxed here too. [00:49] tnek: sound great! [00:49] kjm: neither have i except for minor typos in the config [00:49] Hope it works [00:49] guru: My xorg.conf with my attempt at edits --> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43063/ [00:49] guru: oh... I _specifically_ asked you about Foreign IP specified on Listen socket... and you said you HAD seen it done!!1 [00:49] :o [00:49] enyc: in case you didn't notice at the time i was a bit busy [00:49] Odd-rationale: I'll report back shortly. :-) [00:50] guru: [ok] [00:50] Odd-rationale: Yep it's there. "Install a command-line system" [00:50] Why do my TTYs refuse to load when using a wireless connection? Wired they pop up no probs, but when my wireless card's in, I have to bring them up in getty, and then run screen to get things working right :< on my laptop :< [00:50] Can someone please tell me how to get around "Authentication failed" in update manager so that I can complete my gutsy upgrade [00:50] tnek: OK! [00:51] bpat1434: do you have two seperate video cards or a dual-head video card? [00:51] has anyone had trouble installing matlab on ubuntu? [00:51] YES! Ok, no worries - purge and reinstall fixed it. [00:51] Odd-rationale: Once again, thanks! :-) I'll stay and perhaps I'll blurt out another question or two. [00:51] oxeimon - nope, my machine runs it happily [00:51] tnek: np [00:51] kjm: heh, that would have been my next suggestion [00:51] how do I convert a *.wav to a *.mp3 in ubuntu? [00:52] guru: two separate video cards, each having two DVI out. But I have two monitors, one plugged into the primary DVI of the card. [00:52] qazwsx: use lame encoder [00:52] qazwsx: lame [00:52] Bah, ever since installing Ubuntu on my machines, my hermit crabs refuse to get on the desk. I think they sense a disturbance in the force. (I love it though.)\ [00:52] bpat1434: for that i think you'll have to use xinerama [00:52] bpat1434, what are you trying to do? [00:52] argh. and why does dpkg hate me so. i should just wipe the drive entirely, unbacked up or not. gah. [00:52] vulcanius: use my second monitor as an extension of the first on a second videocard (nVidia 8600 GT) [00:53] bpat1434, what types of cards? [00:53] Hello. I am trying to set a hotkey in the keyboard shortcuts to launch a terminal, but get "No terminal command has been defined." when i click the key after? [00:53] vulcanius: Two nVidia GeForce 8600 GT [00:53] bpat1434: i thought you had a dual-head card. the config file i showed you works for dual-head cards but i don't think that method will work for seperate cards [00:53] guru: ah, okay [00:53] bpat1434: 512mb memory or 256? [00:54] guru: 256 each [00:54] is there photoshop in ubuntu that doesn't suck? [00:54] Poul|Raider: I can't help you. But I suspect you need to give us some more information. Like what you did.

[01:28] ok [01:28] eZtaR: what bt client should i use? [01:28] Brandonc503a - I would recommend Deluge bittorrent client. [01:28] thanks.. [01:28] Freeloader! [01:29] Yuck c0mp13371331337 [01:29] Use azureus brandonc503a :) [01:29] Noooo! Azureus is SLOOOOW [01:29] anyone familiar with phpwebsite installation? [01:29] Awwww, what? eZtaR, what's your beef with Deluge? [01:29] brandonc503a: If you PM me i'll show you how to use google to get mp3's :) [01:29] EztaR: i like azureus.. how do i download it from the terminal? [01:30] brandonc503a: 'sudo apt-get install azureus' [01:30] EtherNomad, yep whats your query re phpwebsite [01:30] www.inrainbows.com [01:30] azureus is a ram eating piece of poo [01:30] Hello, update manager isnt working, how do i fix that? [01:30] eZtaR: how do i pm here? [01:30] cafuego: I agree [01:30] I am running Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) with a ALC883 soundcard along with ALSA 1.0.14 and I hear no sound from my speakers. Why is that? [01:30] and buggy to boot [01:30] Freeloader for me [01:31] brandonc503a: use deluge instead [01:31] I'm going through the preinstall checklist and am a little unsure as to how to proceed [01:31] Alejandr0: are you sure. i always get green smilies with azureus. [01:31] Alejandr0, that's what I'm talking about! Deluge is where it's at. [01:31] hello all [01:32] EtherNomad, do you have full access to the server [01:32] Sorry for talking smack about Deluge c0mp13371331337, i thought that was the name of that bt firefox plugin :P [01:32] yes [01:33] EtherNomad, have you set up your apache root directory and placed the phpsite there [01:33] how do i goto a folder in terminal? [01:33] But what's the advantages to running deluge instead of azureus/µtorrent via wine? [01:33] If I have three computers running ubuntu. Is there a nice simple way to sync users and passwords? I have an account called tnek on three computers, if I change my password it would be nice if the others got the new one too. [01:33] monsterfisk: dansk? [01:33] EtherNomad, does the phpsite come with installer [01:33] brandonc503a: I was a utorrent fan on xp, then i used azureus in ubuntu and it didnt feel quite comfortable. Research on the web showed me that deluge seems to be a pretty good torrent client for linux so i gave it a shot and so far so good [01:33] I extracted phpwebsite to /var/www === jason_ is now known as jasonlee [01:33] eZtaR, nope swe [01:33] monsterfisk: you write [01:33] Hello, update manager isnt working, how do i fix that? [01:33] cd foldername [01:33] apache_default is there [01:34] Alejandr0: i just use µt 1.6.1 via wine :p [01:34] tnek, doesnt work, tryed it... [01:34] Alejandro so 'sudo apt-get install deluge' ? [01:34] EtherNomad, ok if you are using the site installer you will need to set permissions for the www-data user and group so when you access the install page thru web browser the webserver has permissions to install etc [01:34] eZtaR: and how dos it work? [01:34] monsterfisk: okay :) You just press 'cd ' without <> [01:34] graft is the in compiz or in preferences [01:34] test [01:34] Alejandr0: quite good :) [01:34] exactly, thats about where I'm stuck spinning my wheels [01:34] Does nobody hold a solution to my missing audio on my ALC883 soundcard? [01:35] brandonc503a: i suppose, synaptic is not working for me right now :( [01:35] monsterfisk: and 'cd ..' to exit the folder [01:35] Alejandr0 synaptic? [01:35] Can I ask a question pleasE? [01:35] brandonc503a, yes you can get deluge from apt =) it's in the repo [01:35] EtherNomad, ok to set permissions do like "sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/website" that will set the permissions [01:35] !ask | Benalex [01:36] Benalex: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [01:36] test [01:36] Benalex, don't ask to ask... just ask [01:36] mosterfisk: Do you understand the stuff in: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ [01:36] I upgraded to 7.10 from 7.04 and now my emulators don't work (psx and zsnes.) I'm guessing I need to reinstall my video drivers. Is that the right thing to do? [01:36] yo, is there a way i can get my nephew on here without him downloading IRC? [01:36] brandonc503a: better ask another person, im just an ubuntu noob, sorry. [01:36] yay it worked [01:36] ty! [01:36] jonathan8di, yes [01:36] monsterfisk: If not, you should read it. It's good stuff and won't take you too long. :-) [01:36] EtherNomad, after that www-data will own the web directory and then when you point browser to install script it should be abl;e to run [01:36] does ubuntu come with out of the box ndiswrapper support? [01:36] jonathan8di: My emu's work just fine, how do they 'not work'? [01:36] Alejandr0 me too. i just went to web site to dl [01:36] I am trying to open a dvd disc and I see a message saying "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UbuntuRepo_1of4'." [01:36] hi, one of my partitions doesn't get automatically mounted when i boot, how do i fix this? [01:36] jonathan8di, kernel upgrades usually require video card drivers reinstallation especially if you're using binary drivers [01:37] dsl_: in most cases 7.10 doesn't need ndiswrapper :D [01:37] although this DVD disc can be read at windows fine [01:37] hello [01:37] @Tidus I have Intel GMA 950, can I use synaptic updated manager to reinstall video drivers? [01:37] so www-data is a user? [01:37] eztar i have a wireless card that needs ndiswrapper [01:37] how do i tell if i got feisty fawn or gutsy gibbon? [01:37] trendnet marvell driver [01:37] randomwalker: is it a windows partition? [01:37] jonathan8di, how did you install them to begin with? [01:37] EtherNomad, yes www-data is the user and group for apache on ubuntu [01:37] is there any way to configure a specific application like firefox to use a specific network interface like eth1? [01:37] test [01:37] lespea, no, ext3 [01:38] Hello, since a crash 2 days ago update manager isnt working, how do i fix that? [01:38] tIRC, pong [01:38] nm i found it [01:38] @eZtaR: When I run the emulators I just get a black screen. It also happens with 3D games. [01:38] question: i have a secondary hdd and it has 1 ntfs partition, and 2 fat32 partition (these last 2 created by gparted) why the f*ck does win xp installer not recognize any of these? :S [01:38] dsl_: Mine used to need ndiswrapper, but now in 7.10 the restricted driver manager takes care of it all :) [01:38] and i dont have a ethnet card so its kinda important if not ill prolly have to remaster the cd with ndis [01:38] randomwalker: type 'cat /etc/fstab' in a console and see if it's in there [01:38] is there any way to configure a specific application like firefox to use a specific network interface like eth1? [01:38] eztar yea? [01:38] jonathan8di: Ahh :) Which graphicscard do you have? [01:38] whats a i386 system and x86_64 system? [01:38] dsl_: yeah :) [01:38] so ill be able to use the monitor mode on it too? [01:38] ok, I was stumped because the documentation cites 'apache' for user and group [01:38] i have to look into this 710 [01:38] I am trying to open a dvd disc and I see a message saying "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UbuntuRepo_1of4'.".... although this DVD disc can be read at windows fine [01:39] EtherNomad, yes depends on distro [01:39] hi, i have a problem when compiling fluxbox, after "make" command i get: /bin/bash: aclocal-1.9: command not found ; and i have automake installed [01:39] @Tidus: ...I can't quite remember :( [01:39] nemik: Yes, I can think of at least one way, but it's somewhat convoluted and there is almost certainly a better one :) [01:39] http://phpwebsite-comm.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=PhpWebSite_Installation [01:39] lespea, it isn't [01:39] b4d, why are you compiling fluxbox? isn't it in the repo? [01:39] eZtaR anywhere i can look at the support for ubunut driver wise? [01:39] I know I was reading alot of ubuntu forums though [01:39] that is what I'm going by [01:39] lespea, should i just manually create an entry? [01:39] cleaton: i want the svn version [01:39] !hardware | dsl_ [01:39] dsl_: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [01:39] oh ok [01:40] randomwalker: okay, that's the file that linux reads when it starts up to figure out what to mount [01:40] Jordan_U: care to share? not looking for a system wide solution like traceroute [01:40] STEP 2 is where I am...what you're speaking of seems related [01:40] randomwalker: yeah, can you see how the format goes by looking at the other entries? [01:40] ty Jordan_U :) [01:40] Greetings. I have an ALC883 soundcard under Ubuntu 7.10 and it won't play any sound. What's wrong? [01:40] EtherNomad, one sec just loding your link [01:40] lespea, yeah i was just hoping there was a way to do it from nautilus [01:40] @Tidus: Actually, I think they installed right off of the live CD along with the OS [01:40] lespea, i'm comfortable with the command line [01:41] lespea, i can edit fstab just trying to take the easy way out [01:41] thanks [01:41] nemik: Set up a local proxy that uses that interface and have Firefox use it, or for apps that can't use a proxy set up a socks proxy and use soxify [01:41] randomwalker: oh, I guess there might be a way I just always use the command line [01:41] randomwalker: no problem [01:41] @eZtaR: Intel GMA 950 (mobile) [01:41] EtherNomad, yes change apache user and group ref to www-data and follow thru should be ok [01:42] jonathan8di: Sory i have no experience with intel drivers :( [01:42] *sorry [01:42] Jordan_U: nice. that make a lot of sense. thanks a lot! [01:42] nemik: np [01:43] do I have to change owner or permissions back when I'm done?

I need it to rebuild my menu.lst within neogrub. anyway, can someone please tell me the kernel version on the gutsy cds? I can't find it anywhere [01:50] Hey, I'm trying to install gutsy using the alternate cd... however every time it gets to "Install the base system" it complains about coreutils... and when I look at the logs it says "chroot: cannot execute apt-get". [01:50] Alejandr0: It checks your drive for errors and tries to fix them :) [01:50] thanks for the help, I'll read through the rest of this freakin' tomb before clicking on Begin Installation. The sad thing is, I used to work with the guys who originally developed phpws [01:50] I have done a disk integrity check and it said it was fine.. === Fritz_ is now known as Fritz [01:51] EtherNomad, lol [01:51] Jordan_U, I still go via update-manager UI now that I have run the update ? [01:51] eZtaR: ok, i just type fsck on terminal? [01:51] I was the WIndows blacksheep at the time [01:51] Can the base install be completed manually? or is there some way around this problem? [01:51] hipitihop: Yes [01:51] That depends, which filesystem do you use Alejandr0? [01:51] zenum: What is the problem? [01:52] sorry guys, my connection was screwed... is there a way my nephew can get on here without downloading IRC? [01:52] Jordan_U: The alternate cd won't install the base system as it complains about "chroot: cannot execute apt-get" [01:52] eZtaR: ext3? [01:52] eZtaR: what do u mean by filesystem, sorry [01:52] Jordan_U: I'm trying to install the root partition on a software RAID1 [01:53] Are the GMA 950 drivers in the xserver-xorg-video-intel package? [01:53] damn this things downloading fast 2,200 kbs [01:53] Okay Alejandr0, then you have to set it to fsck on reboot [01:53] zenum: Have you tried chrooting in yourself and seeing why apt-get won't run / if it is there? [01:53] Ok, then just please answer this: is it the kernel version 2.6.22-14 ? [01:53] at this rate its gona be done around 5 minutes lol [01:53] since ext3 doesn't support fsck while mounted [01:53] eZtaR: from ubuntu recovery mode? [01:53] Jordan_U, ok tried the upgrade and authentication fails after upgrade confirmation screen [01:53] nope [01:53] jonathan8di: GMA950 runs great with the vesa open source drivers [01:53] Jordan_U: i've done a chroot /target and that seams to work... but there is no apt-get command available [01:53] please let me know if there is another way to get on here ( through a website or something ) [01:54] zenum: What about dpkg ? [01:54] /rm islam [01:54] wtf [01:54] hipitihop: Do you have any third party repositories [01:54] ?

"Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume 'UbuntuRepo_1of4'."" although these discs can be read from windows successfully [01:54] omg eZtaR i ran into a problem i think this says its 712.5 mb iso my cd is only 700 mb is it going to be okay?

[01:58] ok [01:58] wow you gusy [01:58] guys [01:58] zenum: Yes, I was assuming you would just 'apt-get install ubuntu-base' and possibly install GRUB [01:58] , Gutsy is amazing [01:58] seriously [01:58] not connecting at all. granted im new at all this but had 7.04 working like a charm [01:58] Does ubuntu have a default firewall configuration enabled?

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).

It seems that when the linux-image did its upgrade it did not right the correct mac address into this file. ( I don't know why ie bug or something but anyway) to fix it got the mac address for my device and then I changed the /etc/iftab file so that the eth0 mac entry matched my NIC's mac address, rebooted and hey presto I now have eth0 again. [01:59] I notice that Beryl and Compiz attributes were set as default in gutsy... and that my graphics card likes this version better - the original beryl and compiz my system would crash [01:59] Jordan_U, I have also checked the authentication keys and there are only the two standard ubuntu ones [02:00] perhaps you did not understand the question, is the firewall.. enabled.. by default. [02:00] hipitihop: Strange, see if a similar bug has been filed and if not file one [02:00] n00bular: iptables is installed, but it by default does not block anything. But then again, by default there is nothing listening (or not much) [02:00] noiesmo, possible to shoot me an emial with what to do? or what to look for? [02:00] n00bular: No, but there are also no services other than ICMP ( for ping ) listening on any ports [02:01] OK. [02:01] n00bular: It is "enabled" but nothing is blocked by default [02:01] ok. [02:02] can anyone tell me what I need to enable skydome in gutsy - I have the cube working fine with most effects but i fdont have any options relating to skydome in the advanced desktop effects [02:02] gutsy seems to have a few bugs.. but eh, [02:02] still great to look at [02:03] eZtar: i got a bunch of OK's except on powernowd [02:03] okay! how come the song by darude called sand storm is like 27 mb+ to download as bt? [02:03] Exedore: try asking in #compiz-fusion [02:03] others are over 100mb [02:03] Jordan_U, yes I have googled around and few people have reported the same, even some of the upgrade guides mention the possibility of an error and suggest just running GPG [02:03] I can't install 7.10 or 7.04 but I have 6.06 installed [02:03] Alejandr0: did it say 'checking' or something like that?

[02:04] Jordan_U: well i can use dpkg to install apt... but it won't let me install because it says it doesn't have rm to clean up [02:04] Henry6, k [02:04] :) [02:04] i need help installing 7.10 [02:04] hipitihop: Has the bug been actually reported on launchpad though so that it can be fixed? [02:04] Jordan_U: and it seems that indeed i don't have rm installed [02:04] I was upgrading a machine to gutsy, when the power was cut. What's my best course of action? [02:05] Alejandr0: I wouldn't recommend upgrading to gutsy. I would recommend doing a fresh install since upgrade fucks things up [02:05] Exedore, you didn't spam anything from what i can see [02:05] woot ubuntu 7.10 here i come alright im going to test this thing out [02:05] squidink WindowsME [02:05] squidink: is the machine booting? if yes just run the upgrade again [02:05] !language | eZtaR [02:05] eZtaR: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.

[02:05] 8-p [02:05] Has anyone else experienced monitor going into suspend/no signal mode when booting off install cd. then after a few minutes yo are at the desktop? [02:05] squidink, have you tried booting since that happened? [02:05] eZtaR, trying an upgrade won't hurt, though, at worst you'll waste some time [02:06] squidink: Was it just downloading or actually installing the packages? [02:06] le_N, there are mp4 codecs for linux [02:06] an i able to do this off the livecd? [02:06] eZtaR: and if nobody tries upgrading, and reports bugs, the upgrading bugs will never be fixed ;) [02:06] le_N, with the right codec yes [02:06] it boots, but the network doesn't come up [02:06] ;) LjL [02:06] le_N: Just double click it :) [02:06] But Alejandr0, if you do and upgrade, i would recommend backups :P [02:06] Henry6, yes you can but you will have to mount the drive read/write so you can change the file /etc/iftab [02:07] Jordan_U, not sure [02:07] it say [02:07] was wondering whether to go through the update app again, or run apt-get dist-upgrade at the command line [02:07] "impossible de trouver le flux" [02:07] Hey guys, how would i check where my bootsector is located at>? [02:07] had to reclaim space from 7.04, thought i did something wrong [02:07] which mean "impossible to found the stream" [02:07] eZtar: I think im gonna reformat everything, xp sp2 also got unstable [02:07] le_N, what are you using to run it [02:08] Alejandr0: okay :) [02:08] i heart mplayer [02:08] or, should i just reinstall and bother you in 20 minutes? [02:08] but i was trying with both vlc mplayer and totem [02:08] Henry6, sometimes easier its up to you [02:08] le_N, well if you run it under totem it ask you to install the correct codec, if your on gutsy [02:09] yes i have already see this [02:09] your suggestion? thank you for the q&a session [02:09] but in cleaning [02:09] kevsthabest: you just want to know what partition /boot is on? [02:09] what are you guys getting for sata performance in gutsy? [02:09] maybe i have remove some package that was necessary for mp4 and realmedia files [02:09] but as i have keep all the gstream packages [02:10] i really don't know what's going on [02:10] I need help installing 7.10, everytime I try to install it the xserver crashes in both regular and graphic safe [02:10] sublime: what kind of graphics card do you have? === blan is now known as blan`afk [02:10] lespea: ati mobility radeon x1900 [02:11] Henry6, if your only issue is the nic and it is mac address related which if you get the mac address and check it against iftab then its one file modified and your running agiain if there are more issues maybe a fresh install will be better for you [02:11] sublime: install using the alternate CD [02:11] sublime: define "crash" ==> does it freeze or dump to terminal or? [02:11] Jordan_U, mention of running GPG here but seems to be logged in as admin which I'm not sure how to do so not sure if this would work from me..http://www.ubuntugeek.com/upgrade-ubuntu-610-eft-to-ubuntu-704-feisty-fawn.html [02:11] i have the live session up [02:11] heguru: alternate doesn't work [02:12] Henry6, ok does the nic work livecd [02:12] lespea: it says that no screens were found [02:12] ? really new [02:12] sublime: what is the problem with alternate? X1900 will not be detected by the liveCD, the only option other than alternate CD is to download the ATI driver and install it using console of the LiveCD [02:13] Jordan_U: do you know if it would be possible to install say dapper desktop onto an existing software raid partition... or can you only install on raid with an alternate cd? [02:13] anyone know how to simlify how to setup my printer to my windows pc. Ive installed samba but not a clue on how to even start to conig it [02:13] heguru: when I use the alternate cd it says that it didn't mount [02:13] anyone here know how I might try to save some data on an ntfs partition that no longer boots since I resized the partition for ubuntu? [02:13] simplify [02:13] sublime: that's quite odd [02:13] heguru, c0mp13371331337: is it better to run the upgrade app in the GUI, or try apt-get dist-upgrade? [02:13] lespea: yeah [02:13] sublime: wait, wouldn't mount? [02:14] lespea: idk, the hdd i guess [02:14] squidink: its the same [02:14] Montego [02:14] yes [02:14] network printer [02:14] ? [02:14] yes [02:14] can you go to \\computername? [02:15] Jordan_U, going through launchpad now, seemslike many have reported it... still I'd like a workaround [02:15] squidink - That is a personal preference, my friend. One really has no advantage over the other, each one is about as verbose, command line may be a hair faster because it doesn't have to render the GUI..... [02:15] lespea: see the thing is, 6.06 installs without a single error [02:15] how do you enable msttcorefonts on gusty the fonts still look crazy after I installed it in synaptic [02:15] looks like dpkg --configure -a will solve my problems [fingers crossed] [02:15] does it cause problems if I install KDE apps in gnome? [02:15] Both computer names show up in my windows network on ubuntu . But cant access either of them [02:15] Hi there got a quick question then i wont bother ya, is there a perform menu in xchat that will automatically perform certain commands when i connect to a network? [02:15] where do I start? [02:16] Have you set up the windows PC for printer sharing? [02:16] squidink - Good luck and godspeed on your journey! :-) [02:16] Kanuha: no its ok to install KDE apps in gnome [02:16] Kanuha: no should be fine [02:16] Yes [02:16] sublime: perhaps try the alternate cd again... maybe something weird happened just that one time? [02:16] So, you can't access the shared drives? [02:16] comp133713371337: may the force be with me [02:16] Right. [02:16] lespea: tried it twice... [02:17] plz!! i have problem! [02:17] Which version of windows are you running? [02:17] >_> [02:17] XP Pro [02:17] * sublime slaps montego [02:17] squidink - Precisely! [02:17] shame on you [02:17] :P [02:17] Let me check something... [02:17] OK [02:17] sublime: :( sorry i got nothing [02:17] ANYONE WANNA HELP ME? lol [02:17] Not actully mine it's my daughters Pc [02:18] ubuntu didn't read truetype fonts [02:18] new font [02:18] !patience | sublime [02:18] lespea: sorry i was afk.. i know where my /boot is.. the problem is that i got my MBR on a differnet drive.. now i want to swicth it with a bigger one and i cant seem to do it without borking my grub [02:18] sublime: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped.

[02:18] AS soon as I can get some of this figured out myself maybe LOL [02:18] hey, have a little humor in your life [02:18] so [02:18] hi guys [02:19] hi sung [02:19] hello [02:19] kevsthabest: oh... yeah that's beyond me, sorry [02:19] how are ya'll doing? [02:19] lespea: its okay:) [02:19] sung: great, thanks [02:19] Sosme things are straight forward . but others like this problem are far beond me. [02:19] aeg1s: excellent [02:19] beyond [02:19] sung: just learned how to do encfs [02:19] lespea: you tried.. might go bugger the offtopic chan for it in a sec [02:19] quick question: i compiled a custom kernel so that i could compile lirc-modules and get this stupid remote working (had to add a single line to lirc_mceusb2) [02:20] now, after reboot, i can't use the nvidia "restricted driver" (so video sucks) [02:20] and then sound doesn't work at all [02:20] lspci shows the card there ( durr ) [02:20] but alsa doesn't see it all [02:20] Jordan_U, is there a way to bypass the authentication or turn it of while I do the upgrade ? [02:20] I can't find the information...My guess is that Ubuntu and Windows aren't "talking" to each other correctly... [02:20] ideally, i'd go back to running the normal generic kernel, and replace the kernel module lirc_mceusb2 with the new one [02:20] is there some way of doing that? [02:20] sorry... =\ [02:21] maybe try [02:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/printing/C/printing.html#network [02:21] sung: did you get the specific driver from the alsa site for your soundcard? [02:21] specifically compiling lirc_mceusb2 os that it'd work with the normal generic kernel (even though i had to compile a custom one to get it all working) [02:21] what it says to do there [02:21] N, you out there? [02:21] for network printing...and hopefully it works? [02:21] aeg1s: nope, it was working on original install [02:21] where do I get the driver update cd? [02:21] But in sambas defense. Windows home network setup sometimes didn't work either with 2 windows systems [02:22] sung: I had a problem getting multiple sounds (multi channel) and read the howto on installing the specific driver for your soundcard from the alsa sight... It works great now. I did have to add a line to the modules file though. [02:22] anyone know where to get the driver update cd? [02:22] I just installed ubuntu on my laptop [02:22] how do I get it on the internet? [02:22] carmen: Ok will try it thanks [02:22] sublime: what is a driver update CD? [02:22] I have it hooked up by ethernet [02:23] @Shapeshifter and Tidus: I reinstalled the Vesa drivers and it everything works great! Thanks alot! Now I'll I need to do is reinstall my xbox 360 controller driver. [02:23] Drj: have you connected the right tubes? [02:23] tubes? [02:23] Drj: just kidding; open a terminal and type ifconfig [02:23] sung: I'm looking for the HOWTO for you... maybe someone else has some answers too? [02:23] k [02:23] DrJ to your router? [02:23] or where? [02:23] heguru: idk, it's in the live cd menu [02:24] aeg1s: a howto for what? [02:24] no such commands squidink [02:24] =\ [02:24] DrJ: sudo ifconfig [02:25] can someone help me with my video performance, it sucks??? [02:25] ifconfig should run unprivileged [02:25] command not found [02:25] squidink, that's true. I've seen a couple of cases where the privileges were changed on a device file and it didn't, but more likely it's not in the normal user path [02:25] DrJ: crap [02:25] :) [02:26] DrJ, /sbin/ifconfig, or /usr/sbin/ifconfig [02:26] So.... ever since I installed gutsy (and with it, compiz fusion), I've been noticing that every so often while c-f is running, x will just suddenly, for no apparent reason, *die*, returning me to the gdm prompt. [02:26] Jordan_U, are you still looking into my prob or moved on ? [02:26] I am having some troubles booting into xen after installing it on ubuntu gutsy amd64. here is what I was able to copy down after I attempted to boot to the xen entry [02:26] http://pastebin.com/d4b7e86a2 [02:26] DrJ: its case sensitive, make sure you're typing lowercase ifconfig [02:26] niether one worked sethk [02:26] I am [02:26] oh [02:26] ifconfig [02:26] I was doing ipconfig [02:26] DrJ, right. ipconfig is M$ heresy :) [02:26] yea [02:26] Sometimes its days, but certain conditions make it happen frequently. for instance, If I'm running mencoder, it takes about 5 minutes. [02:26] okay [02:27] gave a lot of crap [02:27] what do you need from it? [02:27] Is this unique to me? [02:27] hipitihop: Moved on, sorry :) [02:27] DrJ: paste it into http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ [02:27] haha, you want me to type this all up [02:27] then transfer it to this pc, by flash drive [02:27] pipegeek, first thing to do is look for data in log files to tell you what happened. [02:27] and then paste [02:27] how do you disable ipv6 in gutsy? [02:27] =\ [02:27] DrJ: oops [02:27] :) [02:27] smooth... [02:27] Jordan_U, no problem thatnks for trying.. I've logged on launchpad and will give up for now. Just did not want to leave you chasing it up and I had moved on :-) [02:28] codecaine, it's kernel configuration, same on all linux flavors [02:28] DrJ: is there an eth0 (or eth1 etc)? [02:28] it shows eth0 [02:28] and lo [02:28] DrJ, where do you have your cable connected to? [02:28] a wall jack? [02:28] a router? [02:28] eth0 [02:28] router [02:28] but how do you do it [02:28] Are you sure your router is connected? [02:28] yes [02:28] ubuntu 7.10 has bug? [02:28] I'm on the router right now talking to you [02:28] :) [02:28] And you are running gutsy? [02:28] yes or not [02:28] codecaine, I do it by rebuilding the kernel, but it may be possible to just unload the module [02:28] yes [02:29] gutsy? [02:29] drj: and is there an inet addr? [02:29] sethk: assuming the log to look at would be xorg.0.log..... but gdm restarts, and writes out a new one. [02:29] 7.10? [02:29] no [02:29] gutsy full of bug [02:29] does anyone know how to bypass authentication when doing an upgrade to Gutsy [02:29] yes [02:29] I doubt you have to rebuild the kernel [02:29] sethk: the error ain't in there. [02:29] theres has to be a configuration file [02:29] What version? [02:29] DrJ: no to who? [02:29] no inet addr [02:30] there is a inet6 addr [02:30] pipegeek, it sounds like a seg violation, or something similar, which means there may be info in the kernel logs. Do ls -ltr in /var/log, look at the log file that changes most recently after it crashes [02:30] what subnet is your network on? [02:30] how can i check if everything is loaded up successfully on boot-up? [02:30] look in the top right hand corner of the screen... [02:30] can someone help me with my video performance, all of the video intense stuff, is REALY slow??? [02:30] see the little two pcs? [02:30] click on them [02:30] and see if it shows your network... =\ [02:30] logon, what's your video hardware? [02:30] drj: ie what IPs do other computer on your net have? [02:30] -_- [02:30] 7.10 is avialable [02:30] set, hold on...

That would explain the lack of a pattern. [02:36] then admin? [02:36] Settings I think [02:36] settings for what? [02:36] 1 sec [02:36] there's nothing just called settings? [02:36] in the prefix i've chosen, there are no KDE headers installed. this will fail. [02:36] lol [02:37] let me get out my ubuntu laptop... [02:37] sethk: would help if I knew which font :-\ [02:37] ah well [02:37] that was my error [02:37] What file do I have to edit, to get my default window manager changed from compiz to metacity? [02:37] Caram, ok [02:37] trial and error I guess--- at least I know how to make a crash likely, so I don't have to wait for days to see if it worked [02:37] diana`, not with a message about no makefile [02:37] Anyone with xpad360 experience? [02:37] sethk: strange, though---the ways in which it dies seem to have nothing to do with fonts [02:37] Do I need to compile drivers from source? [02:37] does any know why the gutsy window effects beryl-compis etc is not available when running dual monitors ? [02:38] pipegeek, you could add some trace statements in the function that's failing, but that would mean building at least a part of X which is a huge job. [02:38] sethk: OK... Xorg.0.log up, what am I looking for? [02:38] logon, one second [02:38] pipegeek, it could in fact be unrelated [02:38] sethk: I really appreciate the help, btw [02:38] sethk: also.... it's not just me. [02:38] pipegeek, sometimes what happens is that an earlier operation corrupts the heap, and the traceback is misleading [02:38] pipegeek, the only way to know that is to look at more than one traceback. [02:39] sethk: a guy down the hall made a clean, fresh install on very new hardware (my machine has a geforce3), and is getting the same behavior [02:39] yes it said that no makefile found [02:39] pipegeek, oh, it's a programming error, no doubt. [02:39] and another time it had the same error message i put earlier [02:39] diana`, that can't happen because of missing headers [02:39] this may take a minute [02:39] I would mess around with it [02:39] diana`, you may _also_ have missing headers, of course [02:39] logon, sorry, where were we? [02:39] There should be like a graphics option... [02:39] or something... [02:39] -_- [02:39] sethk: which makes me think a lot of people might be running into this.... which makes me question the judgement of having something so very unfinished turned on by default in a distro aimed at nontechnical users [02:39] i'll paste the error? [02:39] sethk: OK... Xorg.0.log up, what am I looking for? [02:40] Desktop/superkaramba-0.39$ make install [02:40] make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop. [02:40] pipegeek, I'm _always_ one release behind on all my production machines. I install the newest release only on a non-critical machine [02:40] sethk: happily, this is just my desktop.... and I wouldn't have something like compiz on a work machine anyway [02:40] how can i check if my firestarter have started up correctly, i saw a flash sec staying it failed to start up [02:41] where is the location of the start here icon in gutsy? [02:41] sethk: but it is frustrating---I expect this from debian sid, but in sid there's a chance it'll be fixed in a few weeks [02:41] sethk: sorry for venting ^.^ I really appreciate the help [02:41] diana`, that can indeed be caused by not having a Makefile; if you have an issue with headers, it's a separate issue. [02:41] blahblahx, what? [02:41] where is the file start-here.png kept? like the menu icon? [02:42] can it be fixed or do i have to reinstall? [02:42] RabidWeezle [02:42] its coming...

[02:43] diana`, usually it means you have to install the missing "dev" packages. NOT reinstall the binaries. [02:43] I'm running a live CD so it takes a few minutes... =\ [02:43] diana`: sudo apt-get install build-essential then try your make instsall again [02:43] guys, I'm running Gutsy.. simple probably but I can't find it, how do I simply place the home folder onto the desktop? every time I try it doesn't allow me to, saying I can't copy a folder onto itself... ?

[02:56] hipitihop: Yeah, I luckily haven't had to deal with two different resolution monitors, both of mine are same resolution. I've heard that when you do get it working, the smaller resolution one actually scrolls around, so the resolution is actually the same for each monitor, but because the viewport is smaller on one of them, when you move the mouse around, the viewport of the smaller monitor 'scrolls' around. Anyway, to answer yo [02:56] ur original question, it SHOULD be possible, depending on the DRI implementation of the drivers you're using. For example, I'm using the OSS radeon driver, and the DRI implementation with that has a maximum texture size of 2048x2048. So because my total size is 3200x1200, I can't get compositing to work unless I bump my resolution down to below 2048. nvidia is probably much better than that though, so you may be able to get it [02:56] to work at your max resolution. [02:56] Notsquee, look at /etc/passwd for the users [02:56] I need a refresh rate of 70, but the default is 51 how do I increase that [02:57] logon, yes. The rule is to paste either to the paste web site (in the channel subject) or to the #flood channel [02:57] astro76 through what? [02:57] {nathan}, confirmation on whether it worked? [02:57] Notsquee, you could use a live cd [02:57] <{nathan}> bruenig, worked great. Thanks a ton. [02:57] sethk; I know that now, and feel like an ass, sorry... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43072/ [02:57] So after my interrupted upgrade to gutsy, I ran dpkg --configure -a; which mostly fixed everything, except acpid, which dpkg tells me it can't start. Where would I look for where it's going wrong? [02:58] astro76, live CD and then access my HD to look? [02:58] sethk: can you see the log? [02:58] Notsquee, indeed [02:58] Okay, I'll try that, thanks [02:58] logon, I'll look, hold on one moment ... [02:58] sethk: thanks allot man! [02:58] someone for my screen refresh rate in gutsy please, I have already installed restricted drivers which are enabled [02:59] c0mp13371331337, yes I understand, although my problem seems the other way around i.e. the higher capability scrolls around if the lower laptop one is set right or if the higher capable monitor is set correctly then the laptop seems to step down in rez and not pan around [02:59] Ashfaq: what card? [02:59] Nvidia [02:59] have you installed nvidia-settings? [03:00] How do I? please help [03:00] can someone please tell me why my external hard drive is not mounted automatically but when i do a sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart then it loads perfectly? i have another external hard drive is ALWAYS automatically loads, both drives are firewire.

The kernel won't load. [03:12] Xaosratt, yep. just standard xinerama [03:12] Burn a Xubuntu disc at the lowest speed [03:13] Tidus: Alright, other than the not-as-easy setup, will I loose much functionality? [03:13] Xaosratt, shouldn't lose any [03:13] justin420, problem with no usb (anything) mounting, might /etc/init.d/dbus force-reload help me? [03:13] smmagic: I'll try burning Xubuntu at the lowest speed. [03:14] %C2Trying this [03:14] Like I just said [03:14] reloaded, brb reboot [03:14] hey everyone, is there a certain program i can use to make music cd's that come default on ubuntu or should i install a certain program from the synaptic? [03:14] And if you are using a download accelerator, try without that [03:15] Altar_: My favorite is K3b http://k3b.plainblack.com/ [03:15] is it in the synaptic? [03:15] Altar_: serpentine works fine. [03:16] Altar_, k3b is in the repos [03:16] smmagic: No download accelerator. The CD MD5sum were ok, and so were the individual files in the CD. [03:16] I have a question... Whenever I plug in my Pocket PC (hx2495) into the USB on my laptop running 7.10, the wireless network icon changes from the bars to the swirling icon... I lose my network connection and it creates a LAN connection to my Pocket PC. The swirling icon changes to a computer eventually. Any thoughts? [03:16] logon, It's loaded indirectly, so you can't take it out directly. Was this configuration file created by the ubuntu installer? [03:16] which file do i change to modify the menu icon? i know its start-here.png, but that comes in many sizes, so which size do i modify? [03:16] Ergh, I hate bigpond [03:17] sethk: yep, no changes by me so far [03:17] btw, I've scoured the forums for three days without success on this... it seems other people are connecting their pocket pc's fine. [03:17] how do you install bum? [03:17] My top program shows the incorrect memory, ‎is this a linux bug? [03:17] Altar_: Yes, K3b is in synaptic, but you can also use serpentine (which I think is installed by default).

[03:18] anyone speaks portuguese here? [03:18] sethk: should I install something??? [03:18] ok [03:18] !pocketpc [03:18] Sorry, I don't know anything about pocketpc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:18] how is bum installed? [03:18] anyone know how to uninstall ubuntu and remove it from the hard drive [03:18] logon, I would copy the file, and then run the X reconfiguration, see if it finds a simpler and better configuration. It may not help at all, but it may. The command to do it is in the xorg.conf: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [03:19] theguy452: The mood I'm in, you don't want me to answer that question. :) [03:19] Well, my top says that all my memory is being used, but my system monitor in Gnome says I am using only 70% of it [03:19] Oracle: Why not format the partition? [03:19] logon, you can also try it without the -phigh command. [03:19] i misread the prompt, i took up a good 95% of my main partition, and now i need it back [03:19] i need ot kepe the data on it [03:19] no place to back it up [03:19] i'm installing ubuntu over network . I want to do a local network install. So i fire up alternative cd , pxe's tftps etc.. I have an apache with the alternative cd , but when i choose the mirror it fail's [03:19] solaris, memory isn't reclaimed by the kernel until it's needed. So memory that is actually available may show up as used. [03:19] what could be wrong? [03:19] so, what options do i have [03:19] thanks guys! [03:20] how can i install boot up manager? [03:20] lactive, problem at that mirror? Did you try a different mirror to see what happens? [03:20] oh [03:20] thatguy452: do a serach for grub [03:20] does serpentine burns work on cd players (non mp3, such as a stock car cd player) [03:20] thanks lactive [03:20] thatguy452, grub-install, or using the grub utility [03:21] sethk: its asking for the server driver??? [03:21] thatguy: This should help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 [03:21] i have a local mirror , it´s on localhost/html/ubuntu. thats where the alternative cd is [03:21] logon, it doesn't have a default? Usually it gives you a default and you can just press enter. If there isn't a default, then control-c it. [03:22] sethk: vesa??? [03:22] lactive, oh, sorry, I missed that. try using the IP instead of the name [03:22] logon, that should be ok [03:22] ok, did anyone have a solution [03:22] i´ve alredy did that [03:22] how do I search for a file in all folders in terminal? [03:22] i had to take care of an issue [03:22] i need to know how to remove ubuntu and the slice of memory it occupies [03:22] sethk: ok, do I need to reboot???

[03:23] ok i need to remove ubunto from my hard drive [03:23] CaptainMorgan, huh [03:23] thats basically it [03:23] hey guys I have a hp VGA webcam and I cannot find drivers for it what channel would I need to go to to get help [03:23] and i cant format [03:23] Oracle: format the drive [03:24] lol [03:24] logon, strictly speaking, no, but do it anyway so we know exactly where we are. [03:24] i dont have a place to back up the data that i need to keep [03:24] Oracle, removing an operating system is pointless, just install something over it [03:24] i cant, i want to use it in windows again [03:24] Oracle: I do not know how to do what you're asking... You want to remove ubuntu but keep the partition. You're going to eventually want to repartition anyway if you made them the wrong sizes. [03:24] still no luck on getting usb to work. I searched my var for ¨usb¨ any sugg. of where I should look? fdi-cache cannot be opened, but hald seems to be the target on most bug reports. would it kill me to delete it? [03:24] Oracle: um, find a place to back up the data [03:24] therein lies the problem [03:24] there is no place [03:24] i'm installing ubuntu over network . I want to do a local network install. So i fire up alternative cd , pxe's tftps etc.. I have an apache with the alternative cd , but when i choose the mirror it fail's [03:24] How big lies your hard drive? [03:24] find someting [03:24] i have a local mirror , it´s on localhost/html/ubuntu. thats where the alternative cd is [03:25] about 50 gigs of data i need to keep [03:25] I swear, I didn't mean to say lies [03:25] Oracle, if you at the very least have to keep a /boot partition or then you won't be able to boot to any OS [03:25] I was reading your post... [03:25] :P [03:25] s/if// [03:25] i have windows on a separate hard drive [03:25] would anyone be able to help me try to rescue my windows install?

[03:26] I tried the super grub disk, It hangs trying to boot windows [03:26] Oracle, I don't understand the problem [03:26] Oracle: just copy the data over [03:26] bruenig: he can't because he wants to keep that data for some reason [03:26] Oracle, delete the files you don't want then [03:26] not rocket science [03:26] I don't need /usr, I delete /usr [03:26] and so forth [03:26] bruenig: no, thats retarded lol [03:26] the problem is ubuntu makes windows not recognise the 160 gigs it horded [03:26] it isn't retarded, it will go quite fast [03:26] and i cant find the way ot make it unhorde the data [03:27] just move all of your data to /, then remove all the other directories under / [03:27] done [03:27] Oracle: then thats the issue stop tripping [03:27] lol [03:27] Oracle: Can you install the EXT3 windows driver? [03:27] just say that ubuntu made it so you can't boot into windows instead of saying you want to delete it :P [03:27] but thats not the problem [03:27] why would i say that [03:27] ubuntu didn't make windows not recognize the 160 gigs [03:27] windows doesn't have ext3 filesystem drivers [03:27] install them [03:28] fs-driver.org [03:28] How do I search the filesystem for a file?

[03:29] estou a tentar instalar o ubuntu por rede e tenho o cd alternativo no apache os computadores arrancaram por pxe e agora tenho que inserir o mirror manualmente, naoi ta a funcionar [03:29] Oracle, install the driver for the love of allah zeus jesus (fs-driver.org) [03:29] does that explain the issue to you? [03:29] what does this do for me? [03:29] Oracle, do you know what a driver is? [03:29] yes [03:29] I am VERY displeased with the installers!

[03:30] Oracle: it sounds like you need to work on finding a way to backup that data and then reformat that entire drive in the long term. [03:30] Oracle, you know how when you installed your printer driver, you could use the printer [03:30] yeah [03:30] anything else is going to be a short term fix [03:30] Oracle, ok now apply that concept to the ext3 filesystem [03:30] This is not random chatter or about the devel version!

The default filesystem that the installer uses is ext3, unless you changed that, ubuntu is installed on an ext3 partition [03:32] I never had this problem with 5.10, 6.06, 6.10, or 7.04!

[03:38] you are saying that a drive has been partitioned without being partitioned and unless you have invented new hardware I do not believe you [03:38] i suck at that kind ofs tuff [03:39] Oracle, in the terminal, just run sudo fdisk -l, and then paste the output in the pastebin [03:39] !paste [03:39] 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) [03:39] ok so linux sees it one way [03:39] windows sees it another [03:39] hi, i can't connect to any port except ssh [03:39] both say that ive lost 130 gigs of useable spave [03:39] linux says its full [03:39] it is possible to install a distribution from an ISO which is on the harddrive that you intend to install it to?

I have an NV18 video chipset ( I can't make the nvidia driver work, but I can get 800x600 out of the nv driver). Is there any easy way to auto setup magic this? [03:40] Has anyone else experienced monitor going into suspend/no signal mode when booting off install cd. then after a few minutes yo are at the desktop? [03:40] well, i cant see part of it in windows [03:40] I understand you can load the 'alternate' install iso into ram and install from ram? [03:40] i see it as full in linux [03:41] and NOTHING IS THERE [03:41] lazylinux, what is likely is that he has some unallocated partition, he needs to format it with some filesystem but he doesn't understand that [03:41] and so he calls it a hidden part of a greater partition even though it is its own partition [03:41] randomwalker: what happens if you telnet to a port from another machine? [03:41] would you like me to describe the damn colored bar [03:41] Oracle, no I would like you to pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [03:41] dthacker, it waits forever [03:41] where do i type that [03:41] dthacker, except for the ssh port [03:42] The burner works fine in Windows. [03:42] Oracle, in the terminal [03:42] ah [03:42] dthacker, i have apache and a copule of other services running, works fine on localhsot [03:42] if it is ext3 then windows will not read it. If you windows is on a ntfs then it may not show up at all. Use linux to back up the possible data, then run fdisk -l put output in pastebin, then listen to us to tell you to format one last time [03:42] i had a problem similar to what Oracle is describing but they're saying they didnt even partition, right?

[04:23] docgnome, try typing "alsamixer" into the command line [04:23] Ahadiel: thx [04:23] docgnome, and turning up the volumes [04:23] Anyone know the 'right' way to disable bulletproof x ? It stops me from being able to access tty's when my X server dies, and I would always just manually fix my xorg.conf [04:23] bloony: You need binutils [04:23] Ahadiel: i did. It brings up a mixer for the onboard sounds card [04:23] usbcore 138632 2 uhci_hcd (patebin only gives it back to me to download as text) [04:23] bloony: sudo aptitude install binutils [04:23] Clearzen: apt-get install binutils? [04:24] j [04:24] k [04:24] bloony: yeah, it may be binutil I can't remeber [04:24] whats aptitude? [04:24] docgnome, did you set the other one as the default one? [04:24] rryan: does ctrl+alt+backspace drop you to a term? [04:24] do a search sudo aptitude search binutil [04:24] docgnome, System => Prefs => Sound [04:24] nope... if my x server dies, and gdm starts up a bulletproof x instance, neither ctrl-alt-backspace, nor ctrl-alt- f1 - f5 bring up tty's [04:24] bloony, cflags might be the problem [04:24] Ahadiel: the device is set to SB Live [04:24] timothywcrane: Okay, so what happens when you plug in a usb device? [04:25] rryan: and f{7-12} ? [04:25] docgnome, I have no idea T_T [04:25] suemeee: whats that? cause the binutils is the newest version it says [04:25] regulate : really nothing works.. i try all of them... [04:25] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43082/ from my desmg [04:25] regulate : I really just want to turn bulletproof x completely off [04:26] hmm i dont really know much about it [04:26] Clearzen: whats the difference between aptitude and apt-get? [04:26] regulate : and I don't want to just remove the script from /etc/gdm/ because I imagine that's not hte 'right' way [04:26] tried sudo rmmod ehci_hcd to see if it helped but no file found [04:26] I think it might be a hal prob ? [04:27] regulate -- my messages don't start until after the reboot :/ [04:27] bloony: The way aptitude deals with dependencies if different. It will offer you solutions to situations where you can't install a program for one. [04:27] bloony: Also, it will not leave orphaned packages on your system when you removed installed components [04:28] k [04:28] Hi all. How can I disable the pop-up for 'Import pictures' when I plug in a flash drive? I click the 'always perform this action' but it keeps coming up. Any help is appreciated. [04:28] rryan: i think gdm is what controls starting bulletproof if your xorg fails [04:28] I can't get Flash to install in 64-bit Ubuntu. Can somebody help me out? [04:28] Clearzen: so.. to sumarize; its better? :) [04:28] I know that it is not a lack of data on the scandisk, I took a few pics extra to make sure [04:28] rryan: so adjusting gdm.conf is actually a 'right' way , (whatever) [04:28] regulate : yea it runs /etc/gdm/failsafeXServer if it notices your X server crashes [04:28] How do you change the default application for a file extension in ubuntu? [04:29] bloony: The way it deals with package management is cleaner. [04:29] Flynsarmy: what? [04:29] bloony: In my opinion [04:29] Clearzen: ok.. but.. it didnt fix my problem.. :) [04:29] Flynsarmy: kdg ? gnome? other? [04:29] Flynsarmy: System>Preferences>Preferred Applications [04:29] regulate: Gnome [04:29] Ebiggs: Thanks [04:29] Clearzen: It says I already got the newest version.. [04:29] Ebiggs: lucky draw [04:30] bloony: oh, it's telling you it can't build the binaries right. Give me the exact error again. [04:30] Flynsarmy, find a file of that type. Right click, choose Properties, go to the open with tab [04:30] Has anybody had trouble installing 64-bit flash in Gutsy? [04:30] just for the hell of it, I´m going into kde to see if it is a gnome issue brb. [04:30] Madpilot: Doesn't that just open it with that app once instead of every time?

[04:31] Flynsarmy, for a once-off, use right-click->Open With... [04:31] tigran: Madpilot Thanks [04:31] bloony, what are you trying to compile ? [04:31] How can I disable the pop-up for 'Import pictures' when I plug in a flash drive? I click the 'always perform this action' but it keeps coming up. [04:31] suemeee: alsa drivers [04:31] I love how the forum says that it just works. [04:31] bloony: run ldconfig and try again [04:32] Clearzen: same msgs [04:32] Ebiggs: I love the irony in that haha [04:32] regulate : K nm I found it back to when it rebooted. But I cannot see anything that would case it. [04:32] Would using the Feisty method (nspluginwrapper) work? [04:32] cause* === hairulfr is now known as hairaway [04:32] bloony: hmm, it'll take me a second.

I've done that. [04:33] I just installed Ubuntu Server 7.10; I have a wired d-link ethernet card and I can't figure how to get it set up [04:33] suemeee: command not found? [04:33] The cable is plugged into it and the light on the card is on [04:33] bloony: just out of curiosity, are you trying to build this source on an external drive? [04:33] Ebiggs, actually the way i did it was.. i browsed to a page with flash on it (youtube) and i could install it through firefox [04:34] bloony, small app install it [04:34] ACKER: well, thats where the kernel logs messages, and the kernel is what talks to your hardware. so your hardware must be what's making it reboot. as the kernel isn't aware of whats happening [04:34] chowmeined: That doesn't show up either. [04:34] Ebiggs, you need to make sure the repo is added [04:34] Clearzen: hum.. yes [04:34] chowmeined: Which would that be? === jim_ is now known as Exedor [04:34] Clearzen: hehe I guess thats a bad Idea [04:34] in kde, still no go on usb [04:34] Ebiggs, i believe it is multiverse [04:34] i just used the do-release-upgrade command and it died during the removal of old packages, is there anyway to restart that process? [04:34] Clearzen: since your putting it like that :) [04:34] bloony: are you sure you have execute permissions on that drive? [04:34] chowmeined: its enabled [04:35] Ebiggs, and restricted and universe? [04:35] Clearzen: its a ntfs drive [04:35] chowmeined: All of them. =\ [04:35] Ebiggs, i have them all enabled [04:35] but I can move the files and try [04:35] regulate : here is my messages if you could take a look please http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43085/ [04:35] Ebiggs, and you did aptitude update? [04:35] Ebiggs, well when you close it .. it should reload them [04:35] chowmeined: Synaptic shows it as being installed. [04:35] bloony: You need execute permissions to build binaries [04:35] I need to patch my bcm43xx driver to use packet injection [04:35] kk [04:35] can't quite figure out how to patch it [04:35] Ebiggs, close firefox then open it again and browse to a page with flash [04:35] Looks like no one knows what I'm talking about =/ [04:35] Clearzen: ok.. how do I copy a folder? [04:35] chowmeined: I've done that. [04:35] I've got the patch for the 2.6.22 version of the driver [04:36] are there any good guides for jack [04:36] cp /folder /destination/drive [04:36] Ebiggs, what happens? [04:36] chowmeined: This was a clean install too, apart from keeping my /home [04:36] Ebiggs, there must be something.. ive done this on at least 10 64bit machines [04:36] tigran: this is ubuntu. don't expect a lot of people to be able to help [04:36] does anyone know about configuring sound blaster live cards in gutsy? I just did a fresh install and am having problems. the card is detected and the onboard card works, but the sound blaster doesn't. [04:36] ACKER: something issued a restart signal [04:37] chowmeined: At a youtube video page, the part where the video should be is just empty space. No messages to install flash or anything. [04:37] tigran: there are a very few knowledgable people here, and they are usually busy [04:37] Ebiggs, ok remove flashplugin-nonfree [04:37] what kernel module handles auto detection of usb devices I have usbmount installed but it doesnt show in modprobe. I may just be way off here, but I am desparate [04:37] docgnome: make sure the sblive is set as default if that's what you want. [04:37] Clearzen: hum.. should it be possible to do it as root in my user home folder? [04:37] Nyle: ive noticed :P [04:37] Go to the Gnome sound preferences thingy. [04:37] Ebiggs, make sure there isnt a flash plugin installed in ~/.mozilla/plugins [04:37] ACKER: are you sure you didn't do anything to make it restart? [04:37] nothing. [04:37] can anyone help me with jackd? [04:37] DanaG: it is. or at least I think it is. that's what it says in system -> preferences -> sound [04:38] Hmm. [04:38] Ebiggs, and delete ~/.macromedia [04:38] timothywcrane: It very well may be the kernel you are using. Try a earlier version [04:38] chowmeined: Okay, give me a sec. [04:38] Check the "analog/digital" toggle -- that's another big one. [04:38] Nyle: Its just hard when your best friend Google doesnt give you answers either [04:38] bloony: yes, that should be fine [04:38] it did say something on a blackscreen about the temperature. But ti went by fast [04:38] ACKER: what kind of hardware is this running on? [04:38] it wont load x [04:38] Clearzen: didnt work tho.. :/ [04:38] chowmeined: That would be in /home/username right? [04:38] DanaG: I don't see that anywhere [04:38] bloony: did it give you the same error? [04:38] will you help me with x conf to get screens set? [04:38] Ebiggs, yea.. or ~ [04:38] Ebiggs, ~ just means your home dir [04:39] Clearzen: yupp [04:39] The Gnome mixer hides stuff by default. [04:39] timothywcrane: Yeah, in a second [04:39] if so what caommand line irc should I install to get back here? [04:39] Dig around in the menu for "preferences". [04:39] ACKER: do other operating systems inhibit the same behavior [04:39] no [04:39] just this one [04:39] no prob, I ll go to synaptic [04:39] bloony: Try this: export CC=gcc [04:40] bloony: Then try again [04:40] Clearzen: still same msg [04:40] and im not sure the type of hardware 2.something ghz systemboard with a not so good video card and a gig of ram lol [04:40] chowmeined: Flash still has stuff in the /plugins folder. === ajmorris_ is now known as ajmorris_|AFK [04:40] Ebiggs, under the home directory? [04:40] Clearzen: but will the config.log file its refering to help you? [04:41] Ebiggs, yea delete that libflashplayer.so and the flashplayer.xpt [04:41] chowmeined: flashplayer.xpt, libflashplayer.so, and .DS_Store [04:41] bloony: What are you trying to build? [04:41] I just did a clean install of Gutsy with a seperate /home. What would happen if I changed the /home reference to my other /home partition that Dapper uses? [04:41] Ebiggs, did you upgrade from 32bit? [04:41] DanaG: well I hear static when that box is clicked... and it stops when I uncheck it [04:41] So... I logged into Ubuntu just now and the wallpaper isn't showing up. Just the background color I had set for it, and when I right-click on it, it does not show a context menu! What happened? [04:41] :q! [04:41] erm [04:42] Ebiggs, i mean.. is this home dir from a 32bit install? [04:42] chowmeined: okay, deleted that and macromedia [04:42] Hello. Can someone help me with bandwidth management on Ubuntu?

[04:42] Clearzen: its alsa drivers [04:42] Ebiggs, well.. its too late heh [04:42] lacuce, yoiu have to ask a more specific question [04:42] Ebiggs, unless those are still in your Trash? [04:42] Clearzen: Does that mean I have to restart my programs? [04:42] Yeah, they are. [04:43] Ebiggs, actually.. yea it was 32bit [04:43] Hmm, you can use speaker-test (do speaker-test --help to see parameters) to test the audio. [04:43] eboyjr: yes [04:43] Ebiggs, there is no 64bit flash.. and those were installed without nspluginwrapper [04:43] Ebiggs, ok.. actually try restarting firefox again and see if flash works [04:43] * DanaG wishes Grub could chainload to Firewire. [04:43] Firewire CD drive, specifically. [04:43] Ebiggs, you might not need to reinstall flashplugin-nonfree [04:43] bloony: Well give me a minute and I can come up with one or two ideas [04:43] chowmeined: I think I may have had a 32-bit firefox before...I don't really remember what I did. =P [04:44] Clearzen: thx I'll wait :) [04:44] hi, i have a problem, ubuntu loaded great, but boom, it stopped loading now, (gui boot gets cut and i see *starting Bluetooth Services nothing happens, i ctrl+alt+f1 login, sudo gdm and login normally reboot, same error, how can i disable it, since.. i have no bluetooth devices [04:44] chowmeined: ...I love you.

[04:45] Clearzen: I didn't have to use Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, I just had to run 'nautilus' from the command line. [04:45] Clearzen: no clue :p [04:45] chowmeined: No suitable plugins found. [04:45] eboyjr: cool [04:45] chowmeined: Should I install in synaptic instead? [04:45] Ebiggs, ok.. aptitude remove flashplugin-nonfree [04:45] bloony: Do sudo aptitude install build-essential [04:45] DanaG: doesn't seem to make any noise [04:46] Ebiggs, or remove it in synaptic [04:46] Hmm. [04:46] Ebiggs, and then try it again through firefox [04:46] chowmeined: I was trying to install from viewing a flash site. I hadn't been back into synaptic to install it. [04:46] chowmeined: the thing did pop up though. [04:46] I'v got a laptop with a radeon mobility 9600. Is there a 3d drive that gives direct rendering in Gutsy? [04:46] Well, leave it in a loop and go around twiddling various sliders and switches. That's about the best I can think of doing. [04:46] Ebiggs, oh you never installed it through synaptic? [04:46] Nyle: Google came through, found the answer [04:46] Ebiggs, ok.. sudo aptitude update [04:46] DanaG: done that, unfortunatly [04:46] Ebiggs, then try again in firefox [04:46] Clearzen: installing now.. [04:47] Hmm, I don't know what else to do. [04:47] bloony: After that try to configure again [04:47] Clearzen: that worked :) [04:47] bloony: sweet [04:47] hi, I just finished installing gutsy on compaq presario v5000. everything works great except when booting, there is no boot splash..the screen is completely blank until X starts [04:47] bloony: Source can be a pain. That's why I love apt [04:47] Clearzen: sweet ass.. thanks alot :) [04:47] !botsnack [04:47] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [04:47] when I press ctrl+alt+F8 i see stuff happening [04:48] bloony: np [04:48] chowmeined: still nothing, trying synaptic. [04:48] * DanaG uses compiz-fusion with the snow plugins. [04:48] Clearzen: yupp.. and thats why I dropped linux 7 years ago.. [04:48] any idea how to get boot splash to show [04:48] Clearzen: but now Im back :) [04:48] Using icons of "up" and "down" and "back" and "forward", with Rotate off, is great fun. [04:48] Would there be any problems using my Dapper /home instead of the seperate one I created for Gutsy? [04:48] It's like Dance-Dance Revolution (to me, DDR is still RAM) gone loopy/crazy. [04:49] Will someone help please, I upgraded to gutsy and a ton of my packages reverted to EDGY counterparts.. [04:49] bloony: From what I hear it's made quite a few usability improvements [04:49] But turn down number of flakes to 500 or so. [04:49] I can't get the new versions, even when I completely remove the package and install it fresh [04:49] And it says I have the version specified on packages.ubuntu [04:49] Clearzen: yupp.. its possible to actualy use the programs now.. not just mess around trying to set em up [04:50] chowmeined: All fixed now. Thanks a lot.

[05:05] wow people who know stuff about linux [05:06] Clearzen and detgar: it din't work [05:06] ferronica, the best way to use azureus honestly is to just get the real one from the, extract it into /opt where it should be and make sure the folder is owned by you [05:06] bruenig: i have installed manually [05:06] pwnt-, under file use the wizard [05:06] bloony: I believe for those utils you don't need to make. You would have to read the INSTALL file but when I compiled alsa I did the configure and then sudo make install [05:06] bruenig: what? [05:06] pwnt-, in vlc media player [05:06] bruenig: I think azureus is installed in home [05:06] noiesmo: ok im in vlc media player, now i clicked file then wizard, do i use transcode or what? [05:07] ferronica, azureus should be in /opt or it should have been there the last time I used it because it isn't fhs compatible. So just install it into /opt and make sure your user has write permissions to it [05:07] Clearzen: hum.. ok.. Im just following what it says on that page I sent you.. [05:07] qwerty121: start gcond-editor by pressinng the ALT key and then pressing the F2 key [05:07] hey there can you run compiz-fusion on kde as well as gnome? [05:07] ferronica, if you don't have permissions to write to it, installing plugins will always fail [05:07] newguy: yep === _nand_ is now known as nand_ [05:07] Clearzen: get the same error when I just do make install tho... [05:07] detgar: i did them once [05:07] Is it possible to configure Postfix to rewrite the destination domain name in a message before relaying it to its destination server? [05:07] pwnt-, yep [05:07] qwerty121: and you've disabled volumed_visible? [05:08] detgar: it worked...dont know ho [05:08] bloony: install these files gettext, gettext-devel, glib-gettextize, and libgettextmisc [05:08] detgar: thanks, man [05:08] m00tpoint, stop spamming this channel and ##linux [05:08] bloony: Then make clean ./configure && make && sudo make install [05:08] qwerty121: You're welcome =) [05:08] Clearzen: k [05:09] noiesmo: whats a good codec i choose, if i want to put them in DVDS like a movie in dvd? [05:09] pwnt-: mpeg2 === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 [05:09] qwerty121: It still shows up in nautilus (your filebrowser) so you can unmount it that way if you want [05:09] pwnt-: big files but good quality [05:09] bruenig: i have installed from .deb [05:09] usser: ok, then "RAW" ? [05:09] detgar, yap. [05:09] bloony: Also you need the ja-trans package. Then it will work [05:09] or ogg [05:09] pwnt-: is there xvid or mpeg4 option there [05:10] ferronica, yeah I just said to not do that, install it manually, azureus is screwed up, the ubuntu package is screwed up too [05:10] encapsulotion format that is usser [05:10] bruenig: from here http://www.getdeb.net/search.php?keywords=azureus [05:10] usser: no only mpeg ps, mpeg ts, mpeg 1, ogg, raw [05:10] ferronica, I have told you the solution [05:10] pwnt-: go with ogg [05:11] ferronica, I am not really interested in this stuff. Here is the problem: azureus wants to put a file in a place that only root owns. Solution, make root not own it. Best way to do that, install it yourself into /opt where rational people know it should be and chown everything to your user [05:11] Clearzen: nope.. [05:11] usser: after clicking finish, the video I was watching online live is gone.. lol [05:11] bloony: did it give you the same error === owner_ is now known as DarkNessFalls [05:12] has anyone had experience with ghamachi? it doesnt seem to want to open on my pc. the window appears then closes [05:12] pwnt-: yea it probably still playing its just that when recording vlc turns off video by default theres an option somewhere to have it running [05:12] Clearzen: aah.. now it worked [05:12] bloony: Word. Enjoy your new driver [05:12] Clearzen: just tried what I did before instead of the line you wrote.. [05:12] usser: >_< i vant find it [05:12] Anyone use AWM? [05:12] Clearzen: thank you :D [05:13] jonfish: AWM? what's that? [05:13] bloony: np [05:13] it didnt even ask me where to save the file [05:13] now I need a reboor [05:13] t [05:13] Question: I can't figure out for the life of me how to get an X application to run from within a chroot environment. Anyone able to help? [05:14] how do i restart alsa? [05:15] you mean awn, not awm [05:15] i have a bunch of icons which seem to have disappeared (in firefox for instnace); for that and other reasons i think i might have some issues with my harddrive. is there a way i can scan it to see if it's ok? [05:15] anyone here use/used ghamachi? [05:16] Is there a faster way than tar/bzip to compress large amounts of data? [05:16] hey i'm super new to linux and i just downloaded ubuntu today....and i'm having trouble playing warcraft...can anyone help me? [05:17] patbam: That certainly doesn't sound like hard drive corruption to me. However, to check your partitions for errors you'd fsck. That's the file checking that your computer does once every 30 or so mounts. [05:17] Seri: does warcraft run on linux? [05:17] it can if you download wine [05:17] or cedega [05:17] I have an LTSP client working perfectly and another LTSP box that doesn't boot into X and I can't login via console. What would cause this? [05:17] wweasel: it's weird, icons are disappearing all over the place -- in firefox, on the desktop... [05:17] Seri: I imagine it would run slower. Why would anyone want that? [05:18] it doesn't run like an emulator...i've been reading about it and apparently you can tweak it to make it run really well [05:18] ppl want it so they aren't trapped in the vendor lock of microsoft [05:18] wweasel: for isntance in pidgin, the icons are missing [05:18] seri, it runs so fast you won't notice any slowdown [05:18] anyone use AWM? [05:18] linuxidiot: warcraft runs great in cedega. [05:18] jonfish: you meant AWN [05:18] patbam: I am stumped. No idea here [05:18] avant windows manager [05:18] avant windows navigator [05:18] ah yes u are right oops [05:18] Is anyone here knowledgable about chroot and the x server? I'd like to run X apps from within a chroot environment. Can't figure out how. [05:18] oh [05:18] so i tried installing it, and i guess i did...but it won't play [05:18] is there a command to pull all the .mp3 files out of seperate folders and put them in one? itunes on vista decided to place them all in folders === pablo is now known as cronosii [05:19] Jimb do you know how to reset the bar look to default? === Big-E is now known as Mattyd [05:19] says i'm missing openGL or something...i don't get all this programming crap [05:19] hi [05:19] Quick question.. 'top' is showing NetworkManager as using 75% CPU, and it claims I have no network connection. Is there some way I can restart NetworkManager? [05:19] mgont, be easy to do in python [05:19] wweasel: ok thanks [05:20] CharlesGrn, use kill to stop it, then you can restart it [05:20] sethk: an easy command [05:20] CharlesGrn: top shows network connections? [05:20] i followed some tutorials to install warcraft but like i said i think i'm missing things and i don't know what i need [05:20] mgont, you can do it with the -exec flag of find [05:20] mgont: find . -name *.mp3 -exec cp '{}' ~/somedir \; [05:20] Sorry, I meant that NetworkManager says so. [05:20] jonfish: i don't know how to reset it to default as there is no option within the program to do that. but you could try to remove the awn stuff from your .config folder and I think under .gconf folder. [05:20] mgont: or something like that [05:20] Will I have to reinstall it? [05:21] Is it possible to configure Postfix to change the domain in the destination email address for a message (user@domain.com --> user@domain.local) before relaying it? [05:21] noob to Ubuntu question. I would like to know which is the best way to partition drives for a duo boot (Windows & Ubuntu). For example, 1 HD for windows and ubuntu and another HD for files, or... [05:21] jonfish: deleting the config files under ~/.config and ~/.gconf won't force you to reinstall. [05:21] mgont: there isn't a single line on a terminal that could be typed although it is doable without hours of work of course. ie use wildcards like mv /*.mp3 /folder [05:21] Hmm.. no luck with kill or killall. Still appears to be running. [05:21] clearzen: well that's what i need...lol [05:22] !nvidia [05:22] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [05:22] gia sas [05:22] peite ena kalo mircprogram gia to ubuntu; [05:22] Clearzen: the find command can execute command on files that it finds [05:22] hmm this is starting to freak me out. now i can't seem to run apt either: " E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily" " E: Unable to lock the download directory" [05:22] ;. [05:22] oh [05:22] that was me being dumb please ignore :) [05:23] CharlesGrn: kill the network in top with the "k" command, followed by "9". Then restart it. [05:23] mgont: search with find / -name *.mp3 > file.txt then use a simple loop to read the file and move the items to a central folder [05:23] anyone here use skype full time? I'm considering it as a vonage replacement after seeing some of the hardware they have [05:23] for example, to remove all 'core' dumps, find / -name core -exec /bin/rm -f '{}' \; [05:24] n2diy: Ah, that worked. Thanks! [05:24] CharlesGrn: cool, GL. [05:24] clearzen: think i will stick with GUI PAC [05:25] How do I generate a fluxbox menu? [05:25] twoshadetod: better switch to sip protocol [05:25] any tips as to how I would partition my HD for a new Ubuntu installation? I am currently on Windows and want to set things up in a safe and organized way [05:25] twoshadetod: sip devices are standard [05:26] madeinbrazil, you keeping windows? You just have one HD? [05:26] twoshadetod: thats what vonage uses accidently :) [05:26] 1 HD duo boot [05:26] madeinbrazil: I would use gparted live cd to prepare the hd. it has a nice GUI for slicing up the hard drive and resizing it [05:26] but I am thinking of buying another HD if needed to keep it better organized [05:26] yeah i was thinking about going with jetvoip on someting like that [05:26] madeinbrazil: that's not necessary [05:27] madeinbrazil, given how cheap hd's are these days. :) it may be a lot easier to just have a 2nd hd dedicated for linux. [05:27] :( [05:27] grafo mono agglika [05:27] den boro ellinika [05:27] Plus you can always use the space. :) [05:27] I've been dual booting with a singe hard drive ever since I first started [05:27] but i dont wanna set up an asterisk box i rather just buy this skype crap that has the hardware/client that is standalone [05:27] would unistall of either be simpler with 2 HD? [05:27] Or you could be adventurous and run Windows in a virtual machine. ;-) [05:27] beryl [05:27] madeinbrazil: no [05:27] !beryl [05:27] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz [05:27] can anyone tell me what happened to fluxbox-generate_menu? [05:27] how do i get the network icon in the notification area to display traffic on my pppoe device? [05:28] hum.. I rebooted and now the graphic card settings is messed up.. I tried to change it before cause it didnt have the right driver.. but now it just wants to use the vesa drivers.. and I can run in max resolution.. I got a intel gm915 card.. [05:28] what is 'Wish'. It's a program that's taking up like a constnt 25-30% cpu [05:28] anybody knows where can i get some informations about how to install the beryl in my ubuntu? [05:28] timob: use kppp? [05:28] madeinbrazil: when you split up a hard drive, for example, your windows partition will show up as /dev/hda1 and linux will be /dev/hda2 [05:28] Beryl was replaced by compiz-fusion I belive. [05:29] twoshadetod: why an asterisk box? just buy a hardware sip phone and setup say an FreeWorldDialup account [05:29] n2diy: does that work with gnome? [05:29] oh, thnks willis! [05:29] !kppp [05:29] Sorry, I don't know anything about kppp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:29] !find kppp [05:29] given how *large* hard drives are these days, I'd say that lends itself quite nicely to using a single hard drive [05:29] timob: yes, that is all I use with Dapper. [05:29] Found: kppp [05:29] john83, and compiz-fusion is allready installed with Gutsy. [05:29] i heard it was safer to keep Windows on a partition, files on another, Ubuntu on another and swap files as the fourth [05:29] usser, i wasn't even aware it worked like that [05:29] really? then how can i start it?? [05:30] usser, nice...i'm gonna check out some phones, you use em? [05:30] twoshadetod: sure does, this phone supports NAT traversals via STUN [05:30] madeinbrazil, you normally have a swap partition, and a linux partition. a 'file' partition - may be handy. deopending on what you are doing [05:30] twoshadetod: http://www.voipsupply.com/product_info.php?products_id=39 [05:30] !compiz [05:30] 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 [05:30] n2diy: too kde for my liking :) [05:30] !compiz [05:30] twoshadetod: no but im considering it === Frogman505 is now known as ayoe_18_kuL [05:30] !fluxbox [05:30] 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 [05:30] john83, be sure you got the right/3d/ drivers for your video card for one thing. :) [05:30] I've heard ubuntu is coming out with a mobile version. Does anyone know when that is going to happen? [05:30] madeinbrazil: if you are really worried about keeping your windows box safe - if you have a spare box for experiment - I'd reccomend just using it. I've never liked dual booting. [05:31] timob: oh well!! :) [05:31] oh~ i got it!! thnks a lot!! man! [05:31] usser, phone looks decent for an office phone, so this has a client built in? I can just feed an open ethernet into it after configuring it and i'm good to go? [05:31] so ths 4 partitions would be nicer to have? I have many important files, work on this desktop and wanted to keep things as safe and organized as possible. I have 120GB HD and using about 90GB already [05:31] Clearzen: "mobile" version - like for a usb stick? [05:31] timob: something else is out there, gppp? [05:31] Clearzen, im not even sure what a 'mobile version' would mean. :) [05:31] twoshadetod: yes u just the way u'd configure a soft phone [05:31] I mean for cell phoness [05:31] madeinbrazil, if you have imporntant things.. :) well it pays to have backups. [05:31] !grub [05:31] Or "smart phones" whatever you want to call them [05:31] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:32] Dr_willis, I am terribly sorry to inconvenience you, but I recently installed fluxbox and I have no way of generating a menu. Could you perhaps know of a way I can do so short of manually creating one? [05:32] hum.. I rebooted and now the graphic card settings is messed up.. I tried to change it before cause it didnt have the right driver.. but now it just wants to use the vesa drivers.. and I can run in max resolution.. I got a intel gm915 card.. [05:32] hi How can i make a user with no sudo rights to use minicom ? Simple change the minicom binary file attributes? [05:32] madeinbrazil: let's put it this way... if you really are just starting out... there will be many opportunuties for you to hose your whole system [05:32] like this https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/ [05:32] Nuked, i thought you just manually made them. let me check my fluxbox install [05:32] !math [05:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about math - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:33] n2diy: there is gnome-ppp ... maybe worth a look ... but i dont want a dialer just the little blinking lights.... used to be able configure that when it was a panel applet rather than a notification area icon [05:33] i'm getting all kinds of scary messages :( ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. Failed to open device X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 158 Major opcode: 146 Minor opcode: 3 Resource id: 0x0 Failed to open device [05:33] madeinbrazil: having critical files on that system that your fooling around on increases likelyhood of loosing those files [05:33] can anybody thro me a bone? [05:33] patbam, opera? [05:33] * zobf throws patbam a bone. [05:33] Nuked, I just went to install fbdesk fbpager fluxbox fluxconf --> and it ADDED the 'menu' package i notice. [05:34] patbam: these are safe to ignore [05:34] !info menu [05:34] menu: generates programs menu for all menu-aware applications. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.34 (gutsy), package size 398 kB, installed size 1760 kB [05:34] patbam: ' BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 158 Major opcode'.... is harmless [05:34] Nuked, perhaps you need the menu package3 [05:34] timob: kppp provides that functionality, I don't about gnome-ppp. [05:34] linuxidiot: very cool, thanks for the info. I'll keep thinking. Maybe 2 HDs would be best. If the system gets screwed up all files are kept in the second HD so would just need to reboot whichever system and back to normal [05:34] Dr_willis, I installed that and I still have no menu [05:34] patbam the libjvm sounds like java is simply dead(java applets wont work) [05:34] Dr_willis, Im gonna check just to make sure [05:34] harmless if you dont need java [05:34] Nuked, in the past. i just manually make a fluxbox menu that has the few entries i need. :) [05:34] Nuked, installing the thing now [05:35] something is seriously wrong with my system [05:35] patbam: what part of it? [05:35] patbam: Are you running Windows? [05:35] barely anything is working: firefox shows only a blank system [05:35] Dr_willis, Its the only way to get a worthwhile fluxbox menu [05:35] zobf: wtf? [05:35] n2diy: wow i really should look first .... there is an applet in the "add to panel" dialog .... [05:35] things don't save (tho i have several gigs left) [05:35] patbam, chill out [05:35] Nuked, depends on your needs. :) i wanted a minimal menu [05:36] Nuked: i'm chilled. like white wine. [05:36] timob: are you a newbie? the cool thing about linux is there are two ways to do anything, and five programs to do it. :) [05:37] madeinbrazil: if grub ever gets corrupted, have your xp install disk handy to restore the boot sector [05:37] Nuked, I got NO right click menu at all. :) wonder what gives with that [05:37] Dr_willis, I have the exact same problem [05:37] linuxidiot: thanks for the help! :) [05:38] hello [05:38] I think you guys wore out that right click menu ... [05:38] madeinbrazil: good luck. [05:38] what's the command to restart gnome-panel? [05:38] n2diy: no not a newbie.... thats right ... when the are nicely package its really cool .... so u can easily try them out [05:38] Dr_willis, apparently sudo update-menus is supposed to take care of it... ill logout and see [05:38] IcemanV9: gnome-panel [05:38] im having troubles with my ubuntu, my login screen is fine but asoon as i log in everything goes to the craps, when i log in in safemode however its fine any ideas? [05:38] linuxidiot, do you happen to know if the Xp *restore* disk can also do that without doing away with my partitions? (My dell came in with just that one). [05:39] how can I change my set of mouse cursor === Frogman505 is now known as Ayu_kuL_18 [05:39] lgc -- you could boot from a gparted CD also. [05:39] lgc, ive seebn some restore disks automaticially repartition the drives,, and some other companies dont. :( Its best to be VERy carefull with them [05:39] im having troubles with my ubuntu, my login screen is fine but asoon as i log in everything goes to the craps, when i log in in safemode however its fine any ideas? [05:39] lgc: it won't touch the partitions, just remove grub. that advice is for those who just want to have their system boot automatically to windows again [05:40] lgc, most dell xp restore disks are standard xp install disks [05:40] boontoo: are you using any compositors? Beryl, Compiz? [05:40] lgc: some people get into it and they wonder how to remove grub. using the windows install disk the easiest way I know [05:40] timob: I've been playing with linux for 8 years, and it is as much fun as I had with my VIC-20. [05:40] how do i restart the sound system in 7.10? [05:40] n2diy, i still have a vic-20 :) [05:40] DerangedDingo: i was using compiz but unfortunatly i uninstalled it but perhaps incorrectly so [05:41] lgc: the partitions could still be accessed with a live linux cd [05:41] boontoo: i don't know how to fix your problem... i'm not even running Gutsy right now, I was just hoping it might be useful information for someone else [05:41] boontoo: How did you install it? [05:41] LOL @ VIC-20. Been a lot of years since I saw one of those. [05:41] timob: Roger that, I still have my C-64, and last year I found a TI-99 at a yard sale. [05:42] n2diy, i gave wasy a ti-99 at my last yardsale. :) [05:42] n2diy: I still have a Tandy 1000 [05:42] n2diy: I still have a Tandy 1000TL. [05:42] <--- Long-ago TRS-80 "guru."

[05:42] I Retrofitted it with a VGA. [05:42] linuxidiot, Tidus, I just want to recover Xp for whatever occasional use I might have, but of course NOT wipe off my precious Ubuntu. But I'm scared something just might go wrong... [05:42] No. [05:42] fraid not. [05:42] oh cra [05:42] boontoo: You shouldn't have added anything [05:42] Jordan_U: =( [05:43] lgc: are you not able to boot into xp right now? [05:43] Jordan_U: have you managed to upgrade yet? [05:43] boontoo: Anything you did for XGL other than installing it was unnecessary, but as long as you undid it that probably isn't the problem [05:43] Zombie: oh... I remember the tandy 1000..I had one. I think it did run DOS [05:43] linuxidiot, exactly. But I want to recover the ability to dual boot, not to boot linux from a CD. [05:43] anyone know of a program to extract stuffit (*.sit) archives from linux? tar doesn't. [05:43] Jordan_U: ok so how do i isolate the problem [05:43] riotkittie: Yup, entirely without apt :) [05:44] boontoo: What happens when you log in? [05:44] Dr_willis: Zombie, roger that. [05:44] My battery monitor does not work with the ubuntu live cd. It tells me when I am charging and when I am running on batttery... [05:44] lgc: what's your problem exactly? [05:44] lgc: you need to edit your menu.list file to include windows option. see /boot/grub/menu.1st [05:44] but not how much charge I have left or how long till finished charging [05:44] How ever I have 7 Linux Nodes. [05:45] 3 [05:45] Jordan_U: well it logs in and no erros accept everything is black [05:45] riotkittie: Though I now have apt working for the most part ( it still doesn't seem to think that dpkg, apt and some other packages are available so I will have to keep updating them manually [05:45] linuxidiot, spitFIRE it all began when I got a new bigger drive and copied my Windoze on it, along with everything else.

[05:45] http://support.zenwalk.org/index.php?topic=12083.0 details here [05:45] boontoo: Then you don't need or want XGL at all :) === Anthrax is now known as Pottassium [05:46] Jordan_U: i cant remember how i got compiz working last time [05:46] linuxidiot, I'm afraid it's not so simple. I believe it has something to do with the hard drive's physical ID or some cr*p like that, since Windows is very pesky about such things. [05:46] in ubuntu my dmesg gives me this: [ 325.872000] set_level status: 0 [05:46] lots of them [05:46] lgc: so you've essentially uninstalled windows [05:46] spitFIRE, yep. After partitioning and formating. [05:46] linuxidiot, nah! [05:47] intel? is it the blacklisted card? [05:47] lgc: linuxidiot is right; all you have to do to enable dual boot (to boot into windows as well) if you are able to boot first into linux is to edit the menu.lst file [05:47] boontoo: It should work by default ( wobbly windows aren't enabled by default but you should have noticed shadows and some subtle effects ) [05:47] anyone know of a program to extract stuffit (*.sit) archives from linux? tar doesn't. [05:47] linuxidiot, I can still access it "read-only" from Linux. [05:47] cua0, im not sure its even doable. Since the way the Mac filesystem works. May want to google for a windows program, and see if it works with wine [05:48] Jordan_U: ah, well aside from that say that i dont want compiz for the moment, as im playing with some emulation stuff anyway, anyway i can get my poor gnome back to normal? [05:48] lgc: accessing the windows drive is one thing... being able to boot into it is another. if you are saying you changed hd and just 'cp'ed ' your windows install to another disk... well - that doesn't work [05:48] ! stuffit [05:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about stuffit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:48] spitFIRE, I've tried all that. The problem is that I get the dreaded "blue screen". [05:48] how can I change my set of mouse cursors [05:48] boontoo: Remove the XGL package and turn desktop effects off in System -> Preferences -> Appearance [05:48] Is there a way to tell which battery I am using? [05:48] when do you get the dreaded BSOD? [05:48] linuxidiot, tell me about it...:). [05:49] lgc: it depends on how you restored this windows installation you are talking about [05:49] Jordan_U: ok [05:50] linuxidiot, I didn't restore it. I just dd'ed it to the new disk, as I recall. [05:50] Jordan_U: is there a cmd for turning off desktop effects [05:50] if you restored it using some of these partition recovery blahh...blah... software then it might work (but I have no clue!) [05:50] lgc: if I were you, I'd just make sure all windows files are safe - through in windows install disk, reinstall windows - (be sure to select correct partition) and then throw in a boot floppy to get back to linux to restore grub. The only problem is that people don't really use boot floppies anymore [05:50] s/through/throw/ [05:50] i have just installed azureus from synaptic, when i try to open it nothing happen :( [05:50] linuxidiot, exactly. I don't even have one. [05:51] hi folks [05:51] lgc: why dont you understand this as a good sign to chuck windows out once and for all and continue using Linux for everything :D [05:51] i'm getting some odd messages [05:51] but i can't resolve dns anymore to look them up [05:51] ferronica: log out, and back in again? [05:51] lgc: I remember the good old days when kernels fit on a floppy [05:51] boontoo: I don't know where the preference is saved but to do it temporarily you would use "metacity --replace" ( if it gives an error set $DISPLAY with: DISPLAY=":0" [05:51] this is all why I hate dual booting [05:51] this is directly after a gutsy upgrade : ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted [05:51] n2diy: i did many times [05:51] lgc: I would recommend you recovering the files from the windows drive to a separate medium and then REINSTALL windows [05:52] n2diy: no effect :( [05:52] HI all, I have two hard disks one sata and one IDE Ive been having problems when booting up. SOmetimes I have to enter the grub menu and edit root (hd0,0) to root (hd1,0) and vice versa. Why is it so? cant I maintani both hard disks with grub? [05:52] then use a CD to boot into linux and then reinstall grub [05:52] γι [05:52] linuxidiot: I totally agree with you! [05:52] I agree with you! [05:52] Ubuntu_Expert: That's all set by your BIOS. GRUB uses the numbers it gets [05:52] spitFIRE, I wish I could do *everything* on Linux, but alas, it's not the case yet. And I really throw up every time I have to use Open Office, for example. [05:52] linuxidiot, you can still fit a binary kernel on a floppy. You just can't find very many machines with floppy drives [05:52] ferronica: updatedb? [05:53] how can you be an Ubuntu Expert when you dont even know the fix for that Ubuntu_Expert [05:53] I just have never used a live CD the way I used to use by boot floppies [05:53] Flannel, So thats why when I select WIndows using the F8 key I have to edit it :( [05:53] Ubuntu_Expert: what? [05:53] Is it a known error for the screen overlay to go to garbage for mplayer after a while? [05:53] n2diy: what ? [05:53] Dr_willis, the command I listed earlier generates the menu [05:53] ferronica: run updatedb in a terminal, and try again. [05:53] When I had problems with my Grub I sued the F8 key to open the boot menu from the bios to access WIndows [05:54] spitFIRE, it's an MBR issue, I'm sure. Problem is, I cant do 'fixmbr' from a DOS floppy since I don't have one, or access to an USB one. [05:54] heck, Id add it to ubotu Dr_willis [05:54] Ubuntu_Expert: Why don't you just put windows in your GRUB menu? [05:54] n2diy: If you havn't remind him to use sudo with updatedb [05:54] gia sas [05:54] is it possible to build a driver on a livecd and use it? [05:54] Flannel, Did that but it hangs at the starting up portion [05:54] wait it can't be an MBR issue from what I understand [05:54] is it possible to install ubuntu without a bootloader, and just use grub on a cd for that? [05:54] Jordan_U: Ubuntu will remind him. ;) [05:55] n2diy: like this "update updatedb" [05:55] if i just build the module and use modprobe will it work? [05:55] Flannel, I get two errors. Error 13 unrecognized format before Grub [05:55] kuzmaster: Yes, you'll need the alternate CD (or, I think so) [05:55] lgc: cos' if you are able to boot into linux then its not an MBR issue!!! [05:55] vleon, you can if you build it against the system kernel [05:55] spitFIRE, linuxidiot, I can always remount my old drive and use my windows from there (if I use it as external, again, Windoze will give me the blue screen). [05:55] acpi -V [05:55] Flannel, and Error 15 File not found when trying to boot Ubuntu. I use WIndows to use my Tv Tuner. Everythign is running well. [05:55] Thermal 1: ok, 50.0 degrees C [05:55] AC Adapter 1: off-line [05:55] Bah.. I changed the video card driver and now I cant change it back and I can only run 640x480.. I got a intel 915gm chipset [05:55] ferronica: no, just updatedb [05:55] so.. that would be odd that ping can't work even as root [05:55] lgc: remount your old drive? [05:56] plugged in and when unplugged "off-line" [05:56] !xconfig | bloony [05:56] bloony: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes [05:56] johnny_ ummm what? i mean doesnt everything builds against the kernel? [05:56] lgc: use it as external? please explain; dont seem to understand your situation well [05:56] lgc: so you've *tried* reconnecting your old hard drive (as master I assume) - and it gave you BSOD? [05:56] lgc: sorry for that! [05:56] spitFIRE, you got a point there, but I'm not quite sure of that. [05:56] n2diy: updatedb: fatal error: You are not authorized to create a default slocate database! [05:56] mitch_, The name was just a joke to make some of my other friends convert to Ubuntu :D [05:56] kuzmaster: Desktop CD might have changed to allow it as of gutsy, but at least on feisty, the desktop cant, only the alternate [05:56] ss [05:56] ferronica: ok, my bad, try sudo updatedb [05:56] spitFIRE, what is BSOD? [05:56] does ayone know how to get the suspend working correctly on gutsy? [05:56] lgc: bluse screen of death [05:57] Jordan_U: ok all done im gona boot into non safe mode now brb [05:57] lgc: Blue Screen Of Death [05:57] Nuked, allready got it going. :) heh heh. I used vnc. so i dident have to reboot. [05:57] Nuked, the menu it made has a few.. oddities however. [05:57] oops.. lost the question [05:57] n2diy: done === snowglobe is now known as hotmonkeyluv [05:57] well nuight all. [05:57] Dr_willis, it definitely has [05:57] n2diy: but no output [05:57] n2diy: tushar@tushar-desktop:~$ sudo updatedb [05:57] tushar@tushar-desktop:~$ [05:57] lgc: from what I understand you can't just copy a windows installation to the other that too on another hard drive! [05:58] is there a way that I can check an NTFS filesystem under linux (like fsck.ntfs)? [05:58] ferronica: logout out, and then log back in, and see if it works? [05:58] linuxidiot: correct me if I'm wrong! [05:58] Jordan_U: think it worked however it says im not running a windows manager [05:58] ferronica: It should have taken a while [05:58] spitFIRE: that's what astonishes me that he tried to do that [05:58] ok [05:58] i really hate it when i create an image of a game to install it at a later point in time (when it is supported in cedega) only to realize i can't find the image i created and i have no idea where the original cd got archived to [05:58] boontoo: That command should *start* the window manager... [05:58] n2diy: Jordan_U: okay [05:58] boontoo: Ahh, nvm, try without the --replace [05:59] n2diy: Jordan_U: let me restart system [05:59] linuxidiot, thanks. When I reinstall the old drive, Windoze will run smoothly and also my Dapper (and I do that every now and then to update). When I use the old drive as external (USB) then Windoze will throw me the "BSOD" and Linux will run if I tweak 'menu.lst'. [05:59] Jordan_U: well maybe i uninstalled itand what command? [05:59] lgc: why dont you keep your new hard drive as external and continue using linux on that while keeping windows on the old drive? [05:59] what is the difference between the live cd and the alternative disk? apart from the text based installer [05:59] spitFIRE: I don't entirely understand the dd command, but I don't *think* it can work that way to move a widnows isntall [05:59] is there not a beryl package for gusty? [05:59] eh jordan bailed [05:59] linuxidiot: sure it can [05:59] spitFIRE, 'cuz I hate the fuss! [05:59] Here is my Menu.lst and fdisk -l details if anyone could help me http://pastebin.com/m1c3ad5b4 [05:59] what would you need beryl for? [05:59] does anyone know how to run start windows manager [05:59] lgc: what's the fuss there? [06:00] it merged back with compiz to form compiz-fusion [06:00] lgc: I don't think you can expect windows to boot off usb [06:00] why can't i delete icons from the applications menu in gutsy [06:00] spitFIRE, of having 2 drives in order to dual-boot. [06:00] so i think i just killed my install. I was doing updates via update-manager. It was doing libc6 and it froze up so I did a restart, now just as the progress bar starts, it all of a sudden just goes to a blank screen with a flashing curos at the top left and nothing. no loading nothing. Can somebody please be of some assistance [06:00] lgc: hmmm... [06:00] linuxidiot, all I expect is Windows to boot from my new drive! [06:00] linuxidiot, I have XP booting from my old ipod video [06:00] mike3_: can you reboot into single user mode? === Ubuntu_Expert is now known as Learning_Linux [06:01] linuxidiot: I dont seem to recollect saying to use dd command for moving a windows installation [06:01] windows doesn't like being moved [06:01] spitFIRE, what is the correct way to "migrate" Windoze from on HDD to another? [06:01] guru, are we talking about recovery mode? [06:01] reinstall it :) [06:01] spitFIRE: lgc said he did [06:01] so.. somebody [06:01] mike3_: actually i was referring to single user mode as in init 2 but that may work as well [06:01] linuxidiot: sorry! I overlooked that [06:01] lgc: I agree with johnny_ here. [06:02] guru, well recovery mode just freezes too. How do I boot to single user mode? [06:02] I had WinXP Pro installed, and i installed Ubuntu 7.10 on another partition so that I'm dual booting. I want to un-install Ubuntu now so the drive is Windows only (i'll be installing ubuntu on a different computer completely)... How do I do this and still have my computer boot into windows?? [06:02] mike3_: pass single as a kernel parameter [06:02] stanmancan132: you need your windows CD, you fixmbr and put the windows bootloader back into the MBR [06:02] lgc: you can use migration tools that CLAIM at least on their website that they can help you [06:02] mike3_: i doubt that will work though. it sounds like your libc is clobbered [06:02] guru, could you guide me? [06:03] ugghz [06:03] guru, okay which means what now? [06:03] My GNOME toolbar Applications pulldown menu got mangled by a bug in Gutsy Tribe 5. Is there some way I can restore that menu to its default? [06:03] spitFIRE, like which ones? [06:03] esr, you could remove it [06:03] and add it back? [06:03] so how is it done? if i want to build a driver under a livecd and load it, i just use regular make, make install and then modprobe it? [06:03] mike3_: i ran into an issue upgrading libc once (through no fault of apt but rather from my own inexperience) and the only way i could resolve it was to re-install the base system without formatting [06:04] johnny_: Remove it how? [06:04] vleon: yep [06:04] vleon, it might not include the src you need [06:04] lgc: google, and read the reviews on forums for the softwares that you find! I have no clue as to which one you can safely use! [06:04] My applet 'CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor' shows that the clock frequency of my Intel M processor is 600 Mhz most of the time. Why is there no powernowd process? [06:04] esr, right click .. hit remove? [06:04] guru, how do I do that? How do I go about just reinstalling the base system? [06:04] esr, care to do a dist upgrade and get it to production [06:04] spitFIRE, OK. [06:04] vleon: liveCD is a normal linux system, only without the hard drive [06:04] i thought powernow was for amd systems [06:04] same problem :( [06:04] will an wlan driver work? [06:04] g'night all [06:04] ompaul: I actually did that. Problem didn't go away. [06:04] if it doensn't include the build headers, it might not work [06:05] and enough of the srcs to build again [06:05] lgc: read this - http://ask-leo.com/can_i_move_windows_from_one_hard_drive_to_another.html [06:05] but that's up to the cds [06:05] mike3_: i booted using a live cd (iirc i booted from a freebsd disc), mounted my root drive, then popped in my debian cd and went through the base install [06:05] Flannel thanx i know that and even more, im actually using this live to install gentoo again :P [06:05] Flannel: So do I fix the MBR, and then format the partition again??? [06:05] gentoo is my main distro [06:05] I need help I need to install ncurses (I've tried sudo aptitude install ncurses but there are no packages found) can someone help me find this ncurses? [06:05] apt-cache search ? [06:05] stanmancan132: The linux partition? Yeah, or do whatever else you want with it. [06:05] m1k3: apt-cache search ncurses [06:05] guru, fantastic... [06:05] ok [06:05] i like --names-only [06:06] johnny_: Are you trying to suggest I rtemove the Applications pulldown through the GUI? And if so, how do I reinstall a clean copy. [06:06] ? [06:06] then add it back [06:06] lgc: read this as well - http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inquirer/news/2007/05/22/one-of-the-best-hdd-utilities-is-free [06:06] via the panel gui [06:06] esr, then sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-panel and sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-panel-data [06:06] hi [06:06] guru, is there any other way.. If I could get to a console couldn't I just reinstall libc6 from apt-get? [06:06] when I do a lspci, I see my network card [06:06] debian has a lot of odd package names [06:06] ompaul: *That* sounds like the right thinh to try. [06:06] cards [06:06] esr, if that fails then, I have one other plan (a pain but a plan) [06:07] uggh.. [06:07] how do I tell which card is assigned to eth0 and which one is assigned to eth1 [06:07] mike3_: yes you could and there are statically linked standard utilities (e.g., mount, mv, ls, etc) in either /bin or /sbin that don't rely on libc [06:07] so.. where does ubuntu store it's iptables saved rules? [06:07] lgc: try also for software from your HDD manufacturer [06:07] Trying your recipe now, ompaul. [06:07] slain: ifconfig === karmelek_ is now known as karmelek [06:07] !iptables > johnny_ (read the private message from ubotu) [06:07] i have no dns until i get this box going again [06:07] esr, goes like this, backup data, install feisty, and do the upgrade again, not too painful I hope [06:07] guru, how could I acheive this? [06:07] that is not helpful [06:07] at all [06:08] it just said what it uses [06:08] johnny_: it is, because it tells you how to save iptables rules [06:08] n2diy: I have no entries in /etc/network/interfaces [06:08] Excuse me, but I must bash #windows now. [06:08] esr, sudo apt-get install fetchmail^Wnew install ;-) [06:08] the url is [06:08] They are completely ignoring my problem [06:08] but i can't get to the url [06:08] i have no dns [06:08] ompaul: Comes to that I'd just as soon back up home and install Gutsy. [06:08] n2diy: so if I run ifconfig, I wont get anything [06:08] i mentioned that [06:08] johnny_: try to keep what you say on a single line, or else the channel becomes too busy [06:08] and SO... I am going to ask it here [06:08] slain: ifconfig [06:08] even though this is linux [06:08] mike3_: i'm not completely sure it's your libc that's the problem. i suspect it's a kernel issue so if you have more than one kernel installed (you should see it listed in the grub menu) then all you need to do is select a previous kernel and you should be set [06:08] jrib, i have asolutely no dns, i need to fix the firewall first [06:08] Because people are so much more helpful in here [06:08] esr, there is set second user esr2 [06:09] Irreducibilis: what's your problem? [06:09] johnny_: there are no rules by default [06:09] plain urls do not work very well since everybody uses HTTP 1.1 so IPs woudln't even be good enough [06:09] n2diy: if there is no entries in /etc/network/interfaces and you run ifconfig. you will get no results [06:09] if it were a libc issue you should still be able to boot your kernel but nothing would work and the kernel might/probably will hang [06:09] jrib, have you seen ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted [06:09] move home "data to" that person - then do something like give them admin rights and reinstall user and kill the configs for that user [06:10] esr, you could just try remove the panel and add it back first ? did you try? [06:10] esr - sorry forgot to prefix -- move home "data to" that person - then do something like give them admin rights and reinstall user and kill the configs for that user kill the first user - reinstall them [06:10] ompaul: Your recipe half-worked; my Apps menu is back to its default list of topics. But... [06:10] spitFIRE: So I bought this 160GB external hard drive and it was working fine but then WinXP crashed and rebooted and now its not recognising the drive at all, in explorer, disk manager, anything except the safely remove hardware icon [06:10] Hello! Can not run Blender in Gutsy on ATI. What am I have to do [06:10] spitFIRE, on the link you mentioned the guy says he doesn't advise moving Windoze around. He talks about reinstalling and stuff. But I think such advice is rather non-technical. What I mean is that there must be a simple trick one has to know in order to make it work. [06:10] slain: ok, then things have changed, or I don't know what I'm talking about. ifconfig works here on Dapper. [06:10] esr, the but might be interesting, lets hear it [06:11] lgc: ;) sorry I thought that there was another method in the same page! [06:11] spitFIRE, ... and that's what I'm after! [06:11] n2diy: it does work if the network cards are enabled [06:11] lgc: I apologize! [06:11] lgc: are you simply trying to move your windows partition from one drive to another? [06:11] IS there anyway I can install a KDE 3.5 desktop to ubuntu? [06:11] spitFIRE, no need to. I thank you anyway! [06:11] n2diy: if you delete the lines from /etc/network/interfaces then the cards are disabled [06:12] johnny_: nope, google has some hits with other people getting the same message though [06:12] Irreducibilis: can you see the disk in your disk manager? [06:12] guru, yes. [06:12] Many of the entries leading to individual programs beneath the topics didn't come back. My guess is because they were individually set by package configure scripts and I'd need to ID all those packages and run the configs again. [06:12] lgc: i think gparted can do that [06:12] guru: lgc is trying to move a windows INSTALLATION! [06:12] hello everyone, i have some issue i don't know how to fix, could some one help me? [06:12] lgc: i've used gparted for many, many complex operations without any issues but as always ymmv [06:12] slain: Ok, maybe I missed the question? But the cards need to be enabled to function, no? [06:12] spitFIRE: i know and gparted is perfectly capable of doing that [06:13] m1k3: 3.5 is in Gutsy, so just install the kubuntu-desktop package and you'll be all set [06:13] guru, "ymmv"? [06:13] xstat, that's a bit vague. More detail = actual help... [06:13] that's the biggest issue i've had with using ubuntu, nobody can usually fix their own problems.. so some problems never get answered [06:13] guru: hey is it??? thanks for letting me know that! never knew that [06:13] lgc: "your mileage may vary" [06:13] spitFIRE: a windows installation is nothing more than data written to a partition, just like any other os install [06:13] xD [06:13] lgc: your mileage may vary [06:13] WanderingKnight, thanks. [06:13] except.. windows cares where it is and what hardware it has [06:13] esr, set up a second user if it works for you - move the data not configs - kill first user - MAKE SURE that the new temp user gets admin ability [06:13] slain: ifup, and ifdown might help you? [06:13] you do not have to move the data! [06:14] esr, recreate that other user [06:14] guru: correct me if I'm wrong, then even a basic command like DD should also help one to move the data right? but seems that's what lgc did already!!! [06:14] guru, have you sucessfully copied a Windows install on another disk? [06:14] esr, backup .gnome* files and other .g* files [06:14] and then delete them [06:14] madpilot: i have some problems using traceroute6. it allways says 'unknown host' even if a specify a ip address. ping, nslookup and other commands works ok... why could be traceroute having that problem? [06:14] and relog back in [06:14] n2diy: those commands wont help to you enable [06:14] n2diy: let start from the beginning [06:14] traceroute6 is for ipv6 [06:14] johnny_: I see what you're getting at. Worth a try. [06:14] I need help I have an Authentication error when trying to connect to SU via terminal any ideas? I typed the correct pass and everything [06:15] spitFIRE: yes and no. dd will copy the raw sectors but unless you know what you are doing you'll most likely miss the boot sector [06:15] slain: ok, that is a good place. :) [06:15] madpilot: i can't even traceroute my gateway [06:15] m1k3: you should be using sudo [06:15] n2diy: if I put the enties in /etc/network/interfaces, and I do ipup all works fine [06:15] Ok [06:15] n1k3: unless of course you gave root a password? [06:15] xstat, you said traceroute6 .. . traceroute6 != traceroute [06:15] xstat, did you see what johnny_ said? [06:15] spitFIRE, guru, actually, rsync is more 'intelligent' than dd. I used it for ext3, but I used dd for the NTFS partition. === _weltall is now known as weltall [06:16] slain: ipup!? What kind of interface is it? [06:16] if you want traceroute, install it.. i have no idea why ubuntu comes with traceroute6 by default [06:16] n2diy: sorry should be ifup [06:16] lgc: no, but i have done many other operations. there's a gparted livecd search google for it. gparted allows you to do all the changes you want and then when you're ready you can apply those changes. you can give it a try and see if it can do what you need it to do without destroying any data [06:16] guru: if DD copies the raw sectors then IMHO it should do the job regardless of the partition [06:16] guru: then lgc wouldn't have any trouble at all!!! [06:16] moving the partitions of windows is no big deal, the problem is that windows cares where it is.. [06:17] n2diy: without using ifconfig how can I tell what network cards are installed [06:17] johnny_: so beeing traceroute6 is the reason to not be working properly? how can a i get a traceroute version for ipv4? [06:17] install it [06:17] guru: cos' once you have copied then all you had to do was to chainload the windows loader from GRUB [06:17] spitFIRE: the partition isn't the problem. what would happen if you copied the entire disk (say it was 20gb) onto a 120gb disk? [06:17] slain: what does "ifup eth0" tell you? [06:17] johnny_: is 'sudo iptables -L' listing any rules? [06:17] jrib, yes [06:17] n2diy: that all work [06:17] n2diy: I dont have a problem getting the network to work [06:17] johnny_: flush them and see if you can ping? [06:17] jrib, i'm working with a computer i didn't setup, i'm just attempting to maintain it, and keep ltsp working on it [06:17] Is there a root login for ubuntu? [06:17] guru: don't know :( [06:17] guru, I think I have a copy of gparted, but I've never used it. I used Helix CD for all that. I suppose they all use the same basic tools: Qtparted, fdisk, cfdisk, mkfs, mkntfs, and so on. [06:18] !root > m1k3 (read the private message from ubotu) [06:18] jrib, i'd like to look at the rules in the file, i just need to know that file on ubuntu... i know where it is on gentoo, but not ubuntu :) [06:18] n2diy: I need to know how to tell what nic's I have with out ifconfig [06:18] guru: I guess I see your point! [06:18] lgc: yes, but make sure yours is up to date [06:18] slain: menu > system > neworking? [06:18] johnny_: ok, i'll get de source and make, is it at gnu.org? [06:18] slain: menu > system > admin > neworking? [06:18] xstat, it's in apt.. no need to get the sourcde [06:18] lgc: if you have a spare drive it couldn't hurt to use dd to create a backup image of it "just in case" [06:18] guru: thx [06:18] n2diy: cool, but how do I do that from command line [06:18] Lmfao reminds me of the matrix the private message atleast O_o [06:18] n2diy: I am using server [06:18] johnny_: it can be anywhere the admin wants... in general it will be named /etc/iptables*.rules . Also check /etc/network/interfaces [06:19] That kid that bends the spoon [06:19] jrib, aha.. in gentoo it's /var/lib/iptables [06:19] guru: just one more clarification - what would dd actually do when copying from a smaller partition to a larger one? [06:19] also whoever said you can't recover deleted files from an ext3 filesystem was sadly mistaken [06:19] slain: you can't, it is a gui menu. [06:19] johnny_: i've already installes some package called iputils but no traceroute installed instead, tracepath was installed... is it the same? [06:19] no.. apt-get install traceroute ... c'mon xstat.. apt-cache search is ther for a reason :) [06:20] n2diy: dude I know that, what is the equvilant in the command line [06:20] spitFIRE: exactly that. you wouldn't be able to utilize the remaining space on the new drive because you would overwrite the partition table [06:20] johnny_: they usually get loaded only if you add something like " pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules" to /etc/network/interfaces [06:20] how can I list all installed nic's without using ifconfig from the command line? [06:20] slain: dude, I don't know? [06:20] guru: hmmm... the rest of the space along with the drive you wrote to using DD would become unusable I guess, right? [06:20] slain: ip addr [06:20] guru, I afraid not. I wouldn't do away with my Dapper to backup my Feisty for all the tea in China! [06:21] johnny_ : sorrym i found it now, but i thought it was inside another bigger package like binutils for som other binaries [06:21] spitFIRE: a drive is structured as [0-512]: boot ; [513-????]: partition table ; [????-end of drive]: partitions [06:21] clever: ? [06:21] johnny_, madpilot: thank you very much, i'll try again now with traceroute [06:21] slain: 'ip addr' will show your NIC's [06:21] m1k3: root login like? [06:21] (and other info) [06:22] slain: clever, lshw may help too? [06:22] spitFIRE: browse around the intel specs related to hard drives, it's quite informative [06:22] guru, I've botted from the install cd i got. [06:22] n2diy: yeah but that shows a crapload more [06:22] guru: thx [06:22] jrib, ok.. i flushed.. more chains exist on this ubuntu vs mine.. but they are all empty, still get operation not permitted [06:22] guru, I was hoping I could do a change root after I mounted the hard drive. I keep getting a segment fault [06:22] guru: i thought 0-512 was boot sector AND partition table [06:23] guru, anyways I can acheive this? [06:23] n2diy: also i have a system here which lacks ifconfig and lshw(only ip installed) [06:23] mike3_: try mounting your root partition first and see if you can access the data [06:23] don't know why kubuntu gutsy comes with no traceroute but traceroute6 wich doesn't work preperly... [06:23] clever: roger all that. [06:23] :) [06:23] clever: thank you so much [06:23] clever: that is what I was looking for [06:23] xstat: traceroute6 is for ipv6 [06:23] xstat: install traceroute then, traceroute6 is for IPv6 [06:23] :( [06:23] guru, i can [06:24] xstat, traceroute6 does work properly.. if you had an ipv6 tunnel broker setup with hurricane electric :) [06:24] ompauk, johnny_: I found a less painful way to do it. Compared menus on my desktop and laptop, discovered it was just my Games submenu that got trashed, uninstalled gnome-games and reinstalled it. Just FYI. [06:24] guru: i thought 0-512 was boot sector AND partition table? [06:24] guru: hey looking at what you have written say if I'm copying a 20G drive to a 120G one I would definitely be writing the first 20G of the 120G PROPERLY; I dont know what happens to the remaining 100G; may be that will remain as unpartitioned space! [06:24] clever: the command that I used was ip addr [06:24] scguy318: i think the partition table is stored seperately but i may be mistaken. it's been almost 2 years since i looked at the reference manual [06:24] spitFIRE: dead space would be a more appropriate term [06:24] guru: the partition table is in the first 512 bytes and if you copy the whole drive(/dev/hdX) you get it all [06:24] guru: I believe the MBR contains boot sector + partition table [06:24] clever, scguy318 that's ok, i've done it, i was just wondering why they didn't include the ipv4 traceroute version... [06:25] guru: and the 100 gig at the end wont be partitioned [06:25] what is the difference between the live cd and the alternative disk? apart from the text based installer [06:25] xstat, i can understand why.. the question is why it includes traceroute6 at all :) [06:25] clever: would you be able to partition the remaining space? [06:25] guru: dont see why you couldnt === Rikku is now known as Tidus [06:25] <[chr0n0s]> test [06:25] you'd have to merge the partitions with parted or something [06:25] guru: also depending on the fs you may be able to resize the main partition to use up all the new space [06:25] interesting. i've never attempted it before (never had to) but now i just might have to try it for fun [06:26] that's why don't mess with windows for that crap.. i just use ghost [06:26] johnny_: "It appears that IPtables, NAT, or any other firewall can be causing it" from a forum thread but I do not understand enough to translate to you what you need to do. I have to go, but my suggestion would be to get to a working box and read through the suggestions offered on other threads with this error. Good luck [06:26] phew fixed it [06:26] now my ubuntu is...awsome =) [06:26] jrib, .. the box is the one providing dns.. :) [06:26] johnny_ yes... they had included a new version that it isn't working yet and they forgot to include de working tool [06:26] all i need to know now is how to mount a .mdf file any ideas? jrib i like your ideas [06:26] xstat, it does work.. [06:26] scguy318: that would make more sense [06:26] guru, anything I know to chroot [06:26] xstat, please don't say it doesn't.. it just doesn't happen to work for your specific needs === spitFIRE is now known as g06|in [06:26] !iso > boontoo (read the private message from ubotu) [06:26] scguy318: i'll have to dig up my reference manuals sometime this weekend [06:27] boontoo: that and mdf2iso I guess [06:27] is there any difference between the normal ubuntu 7.10 install disk and the alternative disk, apart from the text-based installer? [06:27] anybody here upgrade from 6.06 to 7.10? Issues? [06:27] n2diy: you can't do it directly, thats for sure [06:27] mike3_: see if you can find anything helpful in your /var/log directory that might be able to pinpoint exactly what went wrong [06:27] johhny_ ok, sorry you're right, i mean ipv4 is still the most used version, i would really like to know how to get working traceroute6.. just for learning [06:27] jrib: i tried that but i need the raw data in the mdf files [06:27] kuzmaster, yes.. the install disk is a livecd.. the alternative has install time encryption... but the page says that [06:28] n2diy: its Edgy -> Feisty -> Gutsy path for you [06:28] scguy318: roger that, I'm backed up. [06:28] n2diy: you'll have to update to the next release every time until you've reached gutsy (7.10). [06:28] johnny_: alt disk also lets you put the rootfs on LVM [06:28] n2diy: you can choose to wait for Hardy, which is an LTS release and you can directly upgrade to it from Edgy [06:28] Thank you so much for helping me I finally get to run this toolchain script :) [06:28] i'll get some reading to find that answer, thank you again!!! good luck [06:28] xstat, you'd have to get a tunnel broker.. but the ipv6 net is still a bit too small :( [06:28] from Dapper [06:28] <[chr0n0s]> gutsy is giving lots of problems to me [06:28] i need to hit the sack [06:28] <[chr0n0s]> i had enough of gutsy [06:28] I have gutsy and I agree 100%!!! [06:28] luckily tunnel broker with hurricane electric is free .. :) [06:28] i'm thinking about a fresh install of Feisty myself :| [06:29] Thanks all [06:29] scguy318, LTS->LTS upgrades will be possible. Edgy->Hardy won't be. [06:29] <[chr0n0s]> even my keyboard isn't working properly [06:29] [chr0n0s]: Gutsy is giving me alot of problems also [06:29] <[chr0n0s]> riotkittie: really! [06:29] johnny_: my router here is linux, would i be able to make it a tunnel and use that 1 tunnel for all computers to get ipv6(diff adr each)? [06:29] Madpilot: you're absolutely correct, I thought Edgy as LTS [06:29] n2diy: scguy318 is correct. you can upgrade from LTS to LTS (which is very cool) :) [06:29] <[chr0n0s]> m1k3: laptop ? [06:29] thank you for the tip johnny_, i'll probably get to that in some time... thanks again [06:29] clever, yes .. tunnel broker [06:29] No [06:29] has anybody installed gutsy on a Medion MIM 2310 Laptop? [06:29] I don't have a laptop :) [06:29] scguy318, nope - Dapper's the only LTS right now, Hardy is planned to be the next [06:29] johnny_: but what would assign the ip's to the clients behind the router [06:29] Madpilot: ok, ty [06:29] clever, but rmemeber with ipv6.. you don't need nat crap!!! [06:30] IcemanV9: scguy318, thanks, that is very cool! [06:30] they give you something like a /64 for free (as of 2 years ago) [06:30] johnny_: yeah i wont need nat but i will still need routing [06:30] can someone please suggest me a lightweight internet proxy server [06:30] <[chr0n0s]> m1k3: i am on a laptop, and with many other problems, this is one more of a problem :(, it's skipping keys! [06:30] johnny_: and something within the rouer pc to make it forward the packets [06:30] Haru: what kind of proxy? [06:30] clever, pretty sure you can set that up [06:30] Is it possible to get a 2.6.23.1 kernel as a .deb? [06:30] You shoulda chose the keymap thing at installation [06:31] johnny_: what software(kernel/userspace) is needed for the tunnel to work? [06:31] Haru: privoxy [06:31] regulate, a internet proxy.. [06:31] g06|in, ok.. will try [06:31] mohkohn_: if you build it yourself :) [06:31] Haru: like what protocol is probably what he means [06:31] clever, the ipv6 tools like ping6,traceroute6, and ipv6 enabled in the kernel (haven't check with ubuntu kernels yet) [06:31] regulate, I thought that would be the case. [06:31] regulate, http [06:31] johnny_: the router isnt actualy ubuntu based [06:31] n2diy: i still have two boxes that run on dapper; so i am looking forward to upgrade it to LTS release this coming April [06:31] mohkohn_: its easy. lookup make-kpkg [06:31] Haru: wait... wait... that's wrong I guess considering your purpose [06:31] hi people, could anybody tell me what to do to enable the nvidia driver on a a USB gutsy made like this? http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ [06:32] clever, oh duh.. and the tunnel broker stuff maybe [06:32] johnny_: but ive done ipv6 tunneling from a ubuntu laptop before(it was unstable) [06:32] clever, i haven't done it in ages.. i plan on trying again soon [06:32] lol:) [06:32] Haru: squid maybe? [06:32] is there a scandisk program i can download? [06:32] I successfully compiled using Zenwalk. So I should be able to replicate with Gutsy [06:32] regulate, how do i set it up? [06:32] I need help, is there anyway I can run dual monitor screens without a nvidia videocard on ubuntu? [06:32] Dusti[n]: does fsck not do it for you? [06:32] Haru: Privoxy [06:33] why cant icons in my applications menu be deleted? [06:33] IcemanV9: scguy318, Have we every done an LTS to LTS upgrade? Or does it only exist in our minds and hearts? [06:33] Dusti[n], yeah.. it's called fsck .. but do it from a linux boot cds [06:33] although as you say it is the debian/ubuntu way [06:33] scguy318, ok [06:33] n2diy: i think its a minds and hearts thing at the moment [06:33] n2diy: dapper is the first LTS release ... [06:33] kk ty [06:33] mars_385, there is an option to use the propretary driver to activate 3D acceleration for nvidia cards [06:33] you should never run file system check from a mounted filesystem (at least atm) [06:33] why cant icons in my applications menu be deleted? [06:34] IcemanV9: scguy318, Cool, so we'll be cutting, bleeding edge? That's ok. [06:34] uggh.. can somebody tell me how to atually see the list of apps that start on boot ? [06:34] xstat, the problem is it doesnt work if ubuntu is on the USB stick [06:34] mars_385 i think you can do it from kde panel... or maybe find something in apt-cache [06:34] any movie storyboard for ubuntu? [06:34] hola [06:34] being in debian oldstyle init land... sucks [06:34] hola me llamo juan carlos [06:34] n2diy: yeah, you can say that as long as we back up our data. :-) [06:35] <[chr0n0s1> johnny_: it's in settings [06:35] i did enable the proprietary driver in the system - administration [06:35] hola [06:35] it says to reboot but i get the vesa again [06:35] [chr0n0s1, sorry.. not used to doing things a gui way.. i meant cli [06:35] <[chr0n0s1> hola is which language :S [06:35] and i must reenable it, but nogo [06:35] !upgrade [06:35] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [06:35] [chr0n0s]: Spanish [06:35] why cant icons in my applications menu be deleted?

I'm having a hell of a time getting multiple monitors setup on a supposedly supported ATI card [06:47] <[chr0n0s2> is this real ? [06:47] boontoo: okay, in compiz config you can move desktops in two ways. THe desktop wall or the cube. Which one are you using? [06:48] johnny: I don't know how to fix it. [06:48] puppy it is probably quicker and easier to reinstall it, just pretend youre using windows [06:48] puppy did you tried a dist-upgrade?

[06:50] boontoo: okay. disable desktop cube and tehn enable desktop wall [06:50] *then [06:50] Ziroday: yep done [06:50] anybody try the latest amd ati driver? [06:50] ce_emo||hLang_aRh|| [06:51] boontoo: okay now try ctrl+alt+left and you should see a animation [06:51] boontoo: and hopefully move desktops [06:51] Ziroday: nope nothing === bdg_co_xmp_cakep is now known as ce_emo||hLang_aR [06:51] i install the latest fglrx drivers fail [06:51] Ziroday: just the text box on xchat flashes thats all [06:51] Hi, i am having problem with apt-get update. When us.security.ubuntu.com gets updated it gives a 404 [06:52] boontoo: okay go to desktop wall plugin > actions [06:52] This is what it is -> http://rafb.net/p/EnwhNe24.html [06:52] Ziroday: and then === [1]Tidus is now known as Tidus [06:52] prudhvi:i get the same problem in china [06:53] * inversekinetix wishes his ubuntu would 'just work' instead of 'just bork' [06:53] boontoo: and see what the key combo is to move desktops [06:53] anyone know if there's a GUI for updating dyndns? [06:53] boontoo: it will be caulled "move left" [06:53] Ziroday: its all the defaults ctrl+alt+left [06:53] inversekinetix: has to earn his wings [06:54] has anybody had to install 2.6.24 to get their hardware to work? [06:54] boontoo: this is very odd, try disabling compiz and moving desktops [06:54] prudhvi: try using a different mirror [06:54] ken [06:54] r [06:54] kernel [06:54] mohkohn_: not me [06:54] Ziroday: how do you disable compiz [06:54] * inversekinetix cant earn wings because no one seems to be able to tell him how to fix apparently simple problems. [06:55] * inversekinetix is also weary of paying for 'real' support based on his experiences so far [06:55] boontoo: go to System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects [06:55] Noone here uses aMSN? [06:55] boontoo: and disable effects [06:55] boontoo,just remove the compiz,i do it like this [06:55] Ademan: If you have router then you have one option on your router to autoupdate dyndns. [06:55] Ziroday: yeh disabled now i can switch [06:55] =( [06:55] Anyone know anything about this java problem "java: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed. [06:55] " [06:55] Flynsarmy: ~/.amsn/logs perhaps [06:56] argh, anyone else have crashes when running games w/ compiz fusion? [06:56] Flynsarmy: and ~/.amsn/webcam [06:56] How do you install programs with wine? [06:56] or anyone else running buntu on a dell m1330 XPS? [06:56] scguy318: thanks [06:56] amazen720: install it like you do in windows [06:56] ePax: eh? what would it likely be called? [06:56] boontoo: okay than this is a compiz issue. renable compiz and go to Compiz Config > General Options [06:56] er Zirodayyour not going to belive this [06:56] anyone had success installing vmware-tools in ubuntu 7.10? [06:57] Ziroday: now desktop switching works now that i enabled desktop effects again [06:57] :S [06:57] boontoo: so are you okay now? [06:57] inversekinetix: simple problems are usual/y found between the chair and keyboard. :) [06:57] amazen720, once wine is installed you SHOULD be able to JUST run the exe and wine will open, if not right click on the exe file and choose open with wine, be careful though, it might bork your menu launchers and no one knows how to fix it [06:57] Ademan: As I said. If you have router, then there is an option in your router setting with wich you can auto updated to dyndns. Do you have router? [06:57] ziroday yeh =) thanks [06:57] is there a shortcut to send a program to another desktop? [06:57] boontoo: np enjoy :) [06:57] I was trying to get this app CYT 4.6 to open in wine cmd, can that be done? [06:57] ePax: yes, what would the setting be? [06:57] My dvd drive cant read the dvds i write. Well it can if the dvd is in the drive when i reboot the pc, if i then take out the dvd and re-insert it again it cant be read. It says attempt to access beyond end of device. In windows though it can read it all the time.. Does anyone know where to start debugging..... [06:57] Ziroday: this is better than mac [06:58] Ademan: Hold on ofr one sec. [06:58] n2diy: is it the lag that made that smartalec comeback take so long or was it the simpleness of the thing between your chair and keyboard? [06:58] blooney: Ctrl+Alt+Shift Left or Right if your using compiz [06:58] for* [06:58] yeah when I do that nothing happens [06:58] knifepoint: sweet thx [06:58] boontoo: good to hear, if you are interested in making your computerl look like a mac look at the mac4lin project [06:59] Ziroday: however i cant get the cube working but i can get the desktop switching one working so yeh i guess i can settle for that [06:59] amazen720 Im not sure, Ive yet to use the cmd in wine, i think you would have to map your drives possibly [06:59] boontoo: okay, make sure you have the roate cube option plugin enabled [06:59] Ademan: Log in to your router as admin then go to TOOLS and then DYNAMIC DNS... enter your settings for your DynDns account and save settings on your router. [06:59] inversekinetix: I don't know, both? Plus the time, 03:00 hours local? [07:00] boontoo: *enable [07:00] FAQ for gutsy upgrade CUPS failures? Brother MFC7420 won't print, still scans. [07:00] Ademan: You have to klick on "enable" in "dynamic settings". [07:00] n2diy: maybe youd be better hitting the hay instead of being a smart alec then [07:00] amazen720: you should be able to... just wine [07:00] Anyone know anything about this java problem "java: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed." [07:00] anyone know where we can get fusion-icon [07:01] i hope it's added to buntu gutsy repos soon [07:01] amazen720: if you're running Gutsy and installed the latest Wine, binfmt support should have been installed, and it should be a matter of just setting the executable with execute permission the running [07:01] inversekinetix: okay I'm newbie to this stuff, I know how to map a drive in windows but how does that help? [07:01] knifepoint: what program? [07:01] Ziroday: appears to be [07:01] ePax: i don't have anything like that, what type of router do you have? [07:01] Ziroday: Netbeans [07:01] Ziroday: Netbeans 5.5 [07:01] inversekinetix: what does mapping a drive have to do with running an app under Wine [07:02] knifepoint: where did you install it from? [07:02] m0u5e, gutsy is released - it will not change [07:02] Ziroday: Repos [07:02] inversekinetix: Yes, I agree. But, I can't answer a question if I don't understand it. [07:02] amazen720 im only using this for one week myself. i think you have to map your drives in the wine config utility so it will give the virtual windows access to them [07:02] Ademan: DLink. [07:02] ompaul: backport :D [07:02] m0u5e: you can get it from trevino's repos under debian [07:02] n2diy: ponder this question, "how long isa piece of string?" [07:02] ePax: yeah i've got a belkin [07:02] m0u5e, you are free to create that for hardy and work on it [07:02] Ziroday: got it =) [07:02] inversekinetix: dont really need to, the drive mapping should be good out of box [07:02] Ziroday: compiz --reconfigure works a charm [07:02] how can I download a list of files from an http server? What's a decent download manager for it? Every one i've tried just grabs the index.html [07:02] inversekinetix: since / is mapped [07:03] Ziroday: where would i find trevino's repos, i bookmarked it a while ago, but i lost the link [07:03] has anyone here not edited their xorg.conf file at all, even via the GUI tool? [07:03] amazen720: to start an app just do what I suggested [07:03] m0u5e, if only there was a way to search the internet ;-) [07:03] scguy318 I have 7 drives plugged in, if I dont hit the auto detect button on the drives page it wont show them, and funnily it shows me 2 optical drives when i have only one [07:04] ompaul: i get pages in another lanugage @_@ [07:04] m0u5e: give a minute [07:04] scguy318: I'm confused give to me like a baby [07:04] inversekinetix: ok, I'll bite, I guess I got it coming, I don't know? [07:04] knifepoint: please see this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java5/+bug/86103 [07:05] m0u5e, your query needs modification: debian package fusion-icon [07:05] Ziroday: is there some command i can use so that when i restart everything is lovely like it is now == i got a funny feeling [07:05] amazen720: in the Terminal, change directory (cd) to where the EXE file is located, then type wine nameofthatexefile.exe [07:06] boontoo: no AFAIK sorry [07:06] n2diy that is a stupid question my mother used to ask me when i asked her something she could not know the answer too, when i gave her the answer "it's twice as long as from either end to the middle" she would clip me around the ear [07:06] scguy318: okay I'll try that [07:06] Ademan: Try to search the web then. Sorry. [07:06] Can someone please ping devspace.cc and let me know what IP replies [07:06] Ziroday: Thanks for the link read it am i to assume no fix is available yet? [07:07] mitch_ 203.82.214.212 [07:07] Ziroday: do you think if i install a virtual drive emulator under wine itl stuff things up [07:07] how much free space do i need to upgrade 7.04->7.10 [07:07] mitch_ you can always just use dig to do DNS resolution [07:07] inversekinetix: Ouch, that's a keeper. [07:07] ePax: no problem, thanks for trying [07:07] scguy you seem to know your stuff, please tell me how to manually delete icons from the gnome launcher panel [07:07] n2diy: thanks, i still use it now [07:07] knifepoint: yes [07:07] scguy318: i need someone outside of Austalia to do it ( i own the domain, i know what replies, but my DNS is caching) [07:07] boontoo: advanced things like drive emulators wont wwork right at all in wine [07:08] damn [07:08] Ziroday: damn thanks for the help though ill wait for Java7 [07:08] hello [07:08] ok good, thats the IP i was hoping would reply [07:08] inversekinetix: if Edit Menu doesn't do the trick, theres a path that you can tweak [07:08] knifepoint: if i were you i would add that you have this issue, try tests and pathces specified in the comments, subscribe to the bug and wait [07:08] boontoo: it wont affect linux programs at all and youll probly not get it to affect the windows ones either [07:08] boontoo: but linux can use .iso images like cd's easily [07:08] clever: i need to emulate a mdf file, not turning it into an iso, it loses precious raw data i need, i need to emulate it so i can run windows programs on wine [07:09] inversekinetix: theres ~/.local/share/applications [07:09] fuseiso [07:09] m0u5e: here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3163821&postcount=8 [07:09] inversekinetix: and then theres a different path, i think /usr/share/applications, where you can delete any .desktop files of interest [07:09] boontoo: you could convert it to iso(and keep the mdf) [07:09] Ziroday: thx [07:09] mitch_: im outside of Australia, so [07:09] mitch_: :) [07:09] clever: it wont mount as an iso i already tried it [07:10] scguy318: most people here are i found.. [07:10] thanks scguy, i tried the first one. now ill try the secons [07:10] are [07:10] clever: basically i need to instal STDP [07:10] boontoo: whats that? [07:10] clever: basically i need to instal SPTD sorry [07:10] boontoo: whats that do though? [07:11] boontoo: SPTD is Windows-only :P [07:11] scguy318: got an error but then it worked [07:11] amazen720: ignore any fixmes in Terminal, they are for developers [07:11] clever: SPTD = SCSI Pass-through Driver [07:11] yeh but aparently its the only thing that mounts mdf files so unless somebody cracked it or something ..=( [07:11] scguy318: thanx [07:11] boontoo: driver type stuff wont work as expected in wine [07:12] boontoo: what app anyway? [07:12] warcraft 3 [07:12] and yes i own a copy [07:12] why dont you convert the mdf to an iso [07:12] because it wont mount. [07:12] i allready said to do that [07:12] could just rerip the cd as iso [07:13] well the one i want to mount is 78kb [07:13] theres a big difference in size =p [07:13] wc3 is not 78kb [07:13] who cares [07:13] unless compression has become uber :) [07:13] it doesn't matter [07:13] lol [07:13] the mdf file that contains all the data that you need to trick wc3.exe into booting is all you need [07:13] try FuseISO i think they got MDF [07:13] scguy318: hey I have an old Dell Jukebox player that I want to take music off off, do you think I can use the driver in wine to access it, because it never pops up when i plug it in the usb [07:13] pramz: mini-image [07:14] i for one welcome our new compression masters [07:14] * inversekinetix send a kiss to scguy, thats the folder! my menus are tidy again. weird that trying to delete it using the menu edit function only created duplicate files in the icons folder [07:14] pramz: just has the relevant copy-protection information, without the extaneous data [07:14] ubunto dont chek the file system when it loads? like if it shutdown wrong or something? [07:14] inversekinetix: np [07:14] ubuntu* [07:14] Dusti[n]: it does, if you count replaying the journal [07:15] scguy318: any ideas, i stress what i doing isnt illegal as i own the game and my cd wont read [07:15] Dusti[n]: and every xth mount, Ubuntu will run fsck on the partition [07:15] ok cool ty [07:15] boontoo: perhaps a crack, or you could, dunno, burn the mini-image :P [07:16] guru, you around [07:16] boontoo: someone mentioned fuseiso, though im not sure how well it would work [07:16] guru, just wanted to tell you it appears I fixed the problem. [07:16] now if only someone can help me get mame working properly it would be like christmas (they already have the decorations and season products out in japan!) [07:16] scguy318: yeah cracks are outa the game though because i use a custom er, customised wc3.exe to launch so i can get onto battlenet because i also lost my cd key hehe [07:16] ok ill give fuse a try [07:16] guru, i copied the ld- and libc- off the install cd. chroot and reinstall libc and tada. it's working agian. [07:16] guru, bad upgrade it appeared [07:19] how do I swap control/caps lock in ubuntu? [07:19] err, in ubuntu's X windows [07:21] what's the proper way of adding a system user (UID<1000), I need to put the command in a script to automatically select an unused UID [07:21] hello to all [07:21] do programs for linux have cracks available like for windows and mac [07:21] any apps out there for linux to use to edit video ? [07:21] inversekinetix: most apps are FREE you don't need cracks [07:22] some arent [07:22] inversekinetix: cracks liek? [07:22] inversekinetix: I'm sure there are a few around, ahem [07:22] inversekinetix: and if you ever do all the tools to crack are at your disposal [07:22] inversekinetix: i am sure you can find a comparable app that is FREE [07:22] only 0 bytes read from position 339968, 2048 required; is it really supported file? little bitch [07:22] i was looking at the parallels software. is there anything free like that? [07:23] inversekinetix: VirtualBox, VMware Server [07:23] you have to pay for VMware [07:23] inversekinetix: not the server [07:23] inversekinetix: VMware Server is free [07:23] inversekinetix: whether it's as friendly as you would like is a different story [07:23] no but you need an image for the server dont you. it wont let you create a new one [07:23] inversekinetix: sure you can, I think [07:24] inverselinetix: there's lots of free virtualization for linux, vmware server/player, xen, and others [07:25] after loggin in it takes ages to go to desktop . what might be the reason. earlier my feisty took no time to go to the desktop [07:25] which VM option will give me full 3d? and the least headaches [07:25] Has anyone configured X via the new GUI tool in Gutsy and had problems with Compiz or XRandR? [07:25] inversekinetix: even if you do need a premade image, you can go make your own image at http://www.easyvmx.com [07:26] inversekinetix: full 3D in vmware is still experimental, and will still give you headaches [07:26] inversekinetix: forget it, use Wine or dual-boot [07:26] inversekinetix: for 3D that is [07:27] switched from BSD to xubuntu for some app support..trying to get sound working so that arts and regular sound play nice..under BSD you just setup some virtual channels and assign arts to one of those..is there a same thing for linux? [07:27] Nallep thats what i liked about paralells, it supposed is 100% compatible, I have dualboot and wine, wine is a pain, rebooting is a pain. I like my games and would like to use linux but i can even get s [07:27] rhavenn, you use "alsa" for audio that is all [07:28] Will some one brief me between the difference in virtual machine server and station, Please [07:28] http://apps.facebook.com/prezident [07:28] ompaul>> yeah, but if you have arts running and try and use xmms it pukes [07:29] rhavenn, so use rhythmbox or audacity xmms is no longer built for this - and I use xmms with alsa :) [07:29] rhavenn, no special effort [07:29] inversekinetix: well you can start complaining to the game makers that they need to include linux support, otherwise it is gonna be a pain eitherway getting games to run in linux if they need direct3d [07:29] http://apps.facebook.com/prezident [07:29] hi everyone. my sound stops from time to time, and i have to reboot the system so that it starts again. does anyone know why it happens? [07:29] Also advise if I should go for server or station of virtual machine in gutsy [07:29] how much free space do i need to upgrade 7.04->7.10? [07:29] xmms works fine with alsa..the problem is arts locks the sound device..so assigning arts to a virtual sound card is nice [07:29] rhavenn: you could just stop arts to unlock the card [07:29] clever: tells you when you go to upgrade before asking for confirmation [07:29] help, my bandwidth isnt divided between processes, so if i download stuff in firefox i cant do anything else [07:30] what do i do? [07:30] scragar: ahh i'll check that [07:30] hi everyone. my sound stops from time to time, and i have to reboot the system so that it starts again. does anyone know why it happens? [07:30] Nallep I know, its a shame to waste my graphics card, i cant even simple emulators to work on this [07:30] someone for virtual machine? [07:30] help, my bandwidth isnt divided between processes, so if i download stuff in firefox i cant do anything else [07:30] clever>> well, yeah...but what's the point of that? then all my kde sounds don't work [07:31] rhavenn: change the settings in the other progs so they use arts then [07:31] !xen | Ashfaq [07:31] Ashfaq: XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenOnEdgy [07:31] rhavenn: then arts locks the card and everything goes thru arts [07:31] dracony: what can't you do when downloading? [07:32] ompaul: I have amd 64 bit, will it work on it? [07:32] even ping servers [07:32] I've been creating a local apt-mirror, and everything is looking good, except I can't mirror the commercial repos. Why is that? [07:32] it works but very slow [07:32] what will happen if i up the clock frequencies on my RAM in bios? [07:32] it used to divide bandwidth equally [07:33] inversekinetix: the ram might access faster, and may heat up more(posibly emiting smoke) [07:33] now, if i start a download i cant even check email [07:33] what would be executing "/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2" ? [07:33] inversekinetix: also if id doesnt overheat it may still make mistakes at the high speed(run memtest on it after a change) [07:33] clever, do you think its a good idea? i got my cpu and gpu cranked, think it would be dangerous to turn up 3-3-3-12 to 5-5-5-15 [07:34] inversekinetix: i havent done much overclocking but if you want to risk it go ahead [07:34] clever: whats the chmod to make every file in a folder accessable to everyone not just user groups, eg cdrom drive ect [07:34] boontoo: i forget but you can just play with chmod 001 then 002 and 004 and ls to see what they give [07:34] boontoo: chmod 777 ./ -r [07:34] lol inversekinetix why would you need to overclock your sooper ej33t 4gb ram [07:34] ty [07:34] :D [07:35] after loggin in it takes ages to go to desktop . what might be the reason. earlier my feisty took no time to go to the desktop [07:35] miss^...... faster access :) [07:36] * inversekinetix saw a new mb today with 4 slots for ddr2 + and extra 2 for ddr3　(*_*) [07:36] inversekinetix: my mobo here has a slot that appears to take laptop type ram(ram sits flat on the board) [07:36] inversekinetix: i looked the board up online and thats for video ram [07:37] (onboard video) [07:37] clever: what mb is that? [07:37] inversekinetix: i forget [07:37] anyone know what would be executing "/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2" ? [07:37] inversekinetix: its a 'dell optiplex gx1' tower [07:38] boontoo: chmod 777 will also make them all executable which is probably not needed. Use chmod ugo+rw * instead (adds the read/write flag to User,Group,Others for all files) [07:38] ah ok [07:38] inversekinetix: the PCI/ISA slots are on a removable drawer [07:39] boontoo: see "man chmod" for all the things chmod can do [07:39] please help me in correcting my screen resolution, the refresh rate is required to be 70, but available is 51 [07:39] okay [07:39] Has anyone else been having xrandr problems ever since using displyconfig-gtk to setup dual monitors? [07:39] clever whats the form factor on that? === arien is now known as febry [07:39] inversekinetix: normal desktop id think [07:39] yes I have installed restricted nvidia drivers for amd 64 [07:39] Nallep: i am trying to execute files under wine as a chain meaning, the file i want to load requires an exe in the same directory i thought chowning them would solve the problem but it appears it doesnt [07:39] inversekinetix: if you lookup the tower name on the dell site youll find the same info i found [07:40] boontoo: wine doesnt need +x on files(enless your using binfmt-misc) [07:40] boontoo: in a script, you will need to execute the .exe by calling it with wine [07:40] hmm [07:40] clever: just did that. look at these sweeties, this is next for the living room station. http://minipc.jp/ [07:40] i dont know how to write scripts [07:40] boontoo: instead of running the .exe like myapp.exe try wine myapp.exe [07:41] binfmt-misc lets you call exe's like native progs(./proc.exe) [07:41] ok [07:41] inversekinetix: those look slim but i aint got the money:P [07:41] !grub [07:41] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [07:42] clever: theyre super small [07:42] inversekinetix: seen the via motherboards? [07:42] boontoo, a script may be as simple as a text-file that has #!/bin/sh as the first line, and then lines like you'd do in a terminal. Chmod +x the_file and it's a runnable script :) [07:42] no, but look at a size comp here http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news_pics/11872/cs700_2.jpg [07:43] inversekinetix: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/store/motherboards/EPIA_800 [07:43] inversekinetix: all you need is a power suply and hdd(they also have super thin power suplys) [07:43] inversekinetix: and if you netboot it you wont even need the hdd [07:44] clever theyre cool, but theyre 170x170mm, the minipc is 160x125x55mm. [07:44] I'm right now viewing VLC. how do I record what I'm watching and save it as a video file in my computer, can somebody help me out [07:44] inversekinetix: with extra care you could even mount the thing INSIDE your CRT tv [07:44] Nallep: nothing opens but no errors returned when i do wine w3l.exe [07:44] clever: that would be sweet, with a 500GB HD somewhere else in the TV [07:44] pwnt-: you can transcode, what stream is it anyway? [07:44] i need help reinstalling grub [07:44] pwnt-: you can easily use mplayer to dump a stream [07:45] pwnt-: or ffmpeg [07:45] inversekinetix: you could just run a ethernet cable out and stream it from a 10tb server in the basement:P [07:45] boontoo: you will probably have to check the wine forums to see if your app can run in wine, I can't help you much past here. [07:46] okay Nallep thanks anyway i guess its beacuse the exe i want to load hacks another exe itself so i guess wine cant really do that [07:46] yes but then you need to have the server on, i like to have some independence for devices. besides, my server is only 4TB [07:46] scguy318: It's an online stream live. its right now running from my localhost, like I used a program to run a specific channel online, then i used http://localhost:port to view that live streaming. and its running in my vlc right now, but Its a live show and I need to go to work. and I want to record whatever will be there in the next 24hours, etc. How can i possible do it. transcode didn't do that for me man [07:46] inversekinetix: with that 4tb of space you could easily alocate a 4gig chunk for nfsroot to boot the thin client from [07:46] scguy318: I can tell you exactly what I did to run it. its a sport channel, are you interested? [07:47] boontoo: it probably can...if it's setup in the proper directory in your wine c drive (usually ~/.wine/ddrive_c) [07:47] clever: there is no space left and my wife will probably kill me in my sleep if i buy any more parts [07:47] I need help lowering the brightness of my windows and bar up the top [07:47] inversekinetix: lol [07:47] Nallep: i didnt run the isntall just copied it from my windows directory but i set up the registry right i THINK [07:47] inversekinetix: how can you use up 4tb ! [07:48] inversekinetix: (i got my 130gig and 160gig drives full....) [07:48] clever: it is easy to do with the connections here [07:48] inversekinetix: actualy its 150gig(lvm array) and 160gig(single drive) [07:48] boontoo: have a look in your ~/.wine/drive_c folder and see if all the right application folders are in place for it to run properly [07:48] the lvm is using parts of a few 80gig's(one of which is also the rootfs) [07:48] Nallep: yeh they are [07:49] inversekinetix: mythtv eats about 1gig/hour but i recently found some transcode settings to shrink it to 500mb/hour afterwards [07:49] clever: whats mythtv? [07:49] inversekinetix: its like tivo but opensource and linux based [07:50] clever: cool, so you need a TV card? [07:50] inversekinetix: automaticaly records any marked shows from the digital cable and i can then play it back from any pc running mythtv [07:50] with pulse audio installed, am I supposed to have an asound.conf file in /etc/ ? [07:50] inversekinetix: if your cable box has a firewire port you would just need a firewire card(leech the compressed mpeg stream from the box) [07:50] clever: no cable here, just satellite for tv and fibre for net :( [07:51] inversekinetix: any firewire port on the sat box? [07:51] oh poor you... fiber for internet.... lucky.... :P [07:51] lemme see [07:51] I have asoundrc and asoundrc.asoundconf in ~/ but no asound.conf in /etc/ [07:51] those files are essentially blank [07:51] inversekinetix: firewire gives low cpu usage and no quality loss [07:51] I have an esound.conf [07:52] inversekinetix: you could also just send the composite output to a normal tv card(lowers quality) and record thru that [07:52] clever: no such luck, just a phone jack. it was only about $30 [07:52] !list [07:52] 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 [07:52] Ignore the following message [07:52] inversekinetix: more info on mythtv is over in #mythtv-users [07:53] clever: did you see what happened to the tv-links website? [07:53] inversekinetix: nope [07:53] busted and will be sued [07:53] I just did a reinstall of linux-sound-base and I have no asound.conf [07:53] inversekinetix: ouch [07:53] ompaul, do you know if I'm supposed to have an asound.conf in /etc/ [07:54] clever: indeed. the sites claim "better than a remote control!" was certainly lived up to [07:54] inversekinetix: i think everything in mythtv is legal(aslong as i dont give the recordings away online) [07:54] I'm feeling low at the moment, so I'm not really paying attention to IRC (ThunderIR-Allan is a reason, there is more). Don't ignore me. I'll do the same if you do. In fact, tomorrow, I'll give you a song. goodbye [07:54] ignore that please [07:55] clever: legal beagal [07:55] lol [07:55] im allready downloading tv shows thru torrents:P [07:55] rg [07:55] one of them is stuck at 99% because its disabled at the tracker and the seed is rarely on [07:55] xipietotec, don't think so [07:56] ompaul, I'm having trouble with pulseaudio =( [07:56] but it was 8 peices missing and now its 5 so 3 managed to dl when i was gone:) [07:56] as in, if I have pulseaudio running, I have no sound. [07:56] xipietotec, no knowing of it [07:56] xipietotec, all I do is put my trust in alsa [07:56] I try to transcode to record a show from VLC. but I can't get voice to work after I recorded something and check it up, no sound on it. [07:57] anyone can tell me how do i install ubuntu directly from .iso file? [07:58] !install [07:58] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[08:00] MilitantPotato: yes [08:00] murlidhar: turn them off and login again, see if it does the same [08:01] Nallep: got it working now i just need to open the battlenet port i think [08:02] when i transcode save a video in vlc it doesn't have sound, why guys pls. its kinda important [08:02] MilitantPotato: i meant in system > preferences> appearance > visualeffects > normal is selected. [08:03] ah [08:03] my login time has gone way up also [08:04] get a nice brown screen for 10-15 seconds [08:04] if you find out why, yours is doing it, let me know :D [08:05] moin [08:05] hi [08:06] hi === Tomcat_` is now known as Tomcat_ === andi__ is now known as elTigre [08:08] How to determine what process lowers the clock frequency of my Intel M processor? [08:08] power now I think? [08:09] powernowd [08:09] Where should I ask about VLC Then. [08:09] (temp stop it with sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd stop ) [08:10] also powernowd automaticaly increases the freq with load so you get speed when you need it [08:10] hi where is the setting to tell compiz that I want my windows maximised / unmaximised when I doubleclick on the window header rather than rolled up (I have ccsm installed etc just can't find the right parameter) [08:11] rothchild: google "compiz wiki" [08:11] or, join #compiz-fusion [08:11] When i change my gnome theme to one with a bright background my menu bar up the top is difficult to read [08:11] and I can't change themes with emerald either [08:11] how do i divide bandwidth equally between connections? [08:13] hi [08:13] i have installed Ubuntu 7.10 server , how can i install kernel source fro CD rom [08:14] * cyphase thinks displayconfig-gtk and X11 could use a bit more work with some configuration issues [08:15] ipghost, configure your apt to use HTTP sources instead CDrom... [08:15] apt-setup is the way you should choose [08:15] vdsoft, i dont have network on that server [08:16] ipghost, your NIC is not recognized? [08:16] my top menu bar somehow has become blank, I only have the volume and clock the bottom menu bar seems unaffected, im on gutsy with compiz, any ideas how to get it back? [08:16] yhe [08:16] its a wifi, having Ahteros chip [08:16] ipghost, do you expect your kernel source will solve your problem? [08:16] i wana compile madwifi drivers [08:17] game time, back to windows [08:17] vdsoft, yeh [08:17] ipghost, well, mount your cd and find appropriate dep package with sources [08:17] vdsoft, I need kernel source to build network card modules [08:18] vdsoft, ok i think it 'll work for me [08:18] ipghost, yes, sources should be on cd [08:18] vdsoft, u know any linux thing that can make my PC a wireless router or AP [08:19] ipghost, first you should bring your wifi interface up :) [08:19] okay [08:20] ipghost, than you can think about making AP === vdsoft is now known as vdsoft_breakfast [08:20] vdsoft, im very relax on Fedoras & FreeBSD , bu i used ubuntu bcz my that PC have 64MB RAM only ... [08:21] vdsoft_breakfast, & im happy it works so good on low memory [08:21] Hi I am new to Linux. Just installed ubuntu-server on a computer with two HDs, both SATA and they're sda and sdb. sda is 80 gigs and sdb is 400 gigs. Now I intended to use sdb as a storage storing things while sda runs the linux system. I note that the server doesn't mount the sdb by default. I am now editing fstab but was wondering two things: why instead of /dev/sda1 etc etc i see some UUID? Second, where would be a good place to mount this storage drive? [08:22] i note that /media is also the default place for USB drives and such addons...but this sdb isn't really an addon drive correct? [08:22] ReubenY: the uuid lets linux find the drive if it moved [08:22] ReubenY, can u pastebin you fstab [08:22] IPGHOST, I just dook a look at my Ubunto 7.10 AMD64 alternate CD and there aren't any kernel sources on there, YMMV. [08:22] ReubenY: i put my videos drive at /media/videos/ but you can mount it anywhere realy [08:23] lfk, opppppps [08:23] IPGHOST: ok sec. clever: anyway I can find the UUID of sdb1? [08:23] ipghost, you can use some usb stick and put kernel sources on it [08:23] ReubenY: if you dont plan to move the drive you dont need it [08:23] yhe [08:23] hi all! are gdm themes and splash screens the same? [08:24] ReubenY: but 'bklid /dev/sdb1' would give it to you anyway [08:24] vdsoft_breakfast, yeh ,but im unlucky USB stick is unavailable ... [08:24] anyone up for some q3? [08:24] somebody get me rid of my windows xp. How do i get rid of it? [08:24] clever: ahh what does bklid stand for? (i like to know roughly what it means so i can remember it) [08:24] ReubenY: blockid i think [08:24] ipghost, don't you have usb ports enabled? [08:24] murlidhar, just stop using it [08:24] my epson all-in-one doesn't work in linux [08:24] ReubenY: it looks at the fs and figures out what filesystem it is(and the lable/uuid) [08:25] vdsoft_breakfast, I have ports but no stick [08:25] clever: so it should blkid and not bklid as stated? [08:25] IPGHOST: my epson al-in-one doesn't work in linux [08:25] ipghost, :) [08:25] :( [08:25] murlidhar, its USB printer ? [08:25] IPGHOST: yes [08:25] ReubenY: oops typo on my end:P [08:25] and copier and scanner [08:25] ;) [08:25] clever: ahh yes it's blkid. also i see SEC_TYPE="ext2" and TYPE="ext3" ext3 is backwards compatible? === vdsoft_breakfast is now known as vdsoft_temporari [08:26] when the gusty installer partitioner tells you it's going to resize a partition in guided mode is that the size of the old one or of the new one? [08:26] ReubenY: ext3 is just ext2 with a journal log [08:26] murlidhar, can u get some likux support from Epson ? [08:26] hi all! are gdm themes and splash screens the same? [08:26] qwerty121, no [08:26] ReubenY: they are nearly identical(you can even mount a ext3 as ext2) [08:26] I have a Samsung one & that works fine on all Linux stuff [08:26] fro fedoras to BSD & Debs [08:26] raylu: how can i install splash screens? [08:26] qwerty121, in feisty, i just looked for usplash themes [08:27] usplash isn't a gnome thing [08:27] no they said the cd which they provided has only mac osx and windows drivers [08:27] oh [08:27] murlidhar, !!!! thast bit bad [08:27] raylu: i am a GG user. just installing the splash screens from appearance manager would do? [08:27] clever: thanks :P ok i am editing fstab now... what number should i specify under dump and pass? [08:28] and i am forced to used that @#$% operating system [08:28] a what user? [08:28] ReubenY, 0 and 0 are usually fine [08:28] unless you really care what order fsck goes in [08:28] just to print and scan any document [08:28] ReubenY: dump i have no idea(0 i allways use) and the other i beleive is if you should fsck it on boot [08:28] murlidhar, u have some extra machine [08:28] raylu: 0 for the fsck column means dont fsck at all [08:28] ralyu: GG is gutsy gibbon [08:28] IPGHOST: i am back after sometime . got a phone call [08:29] murlidhar, install windows & priters on iT & use it by SMB sharing [08:29] we're talking about just some partition not part of his system, right? [08:29] hoooo [08:29] qwerty121, oh, i have no idea :P i installed it through cli [08:29] raylu: yeah its not part of the system i beleive(just data storage) [08:29] clever: thanks a lot :D giving it a reboot now. this is the main ubuntu support channel correct? [08:29] then there's no real reason to fsck [08:30] ReubenY: yes and you dont need to reboot(sudo mount -a) [08:30] raylu: ah okie :P thanks yeap it's just data storage [08:30] who was at the develepors meeting ? and seen the IBM thinkpad offerings on the T61P? [08:31] with linux [08:31] hrm [08:31] clever: mount point /media/storage does not exist [08:31] do i need to make the dir first? [08:31] Hi, I downloaded http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/gutsy/release/ubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso but it's not a dvd it's only an 241MB image, what's wrong please? [08:31] ReubenY: then make it(sudo mkdir /media/storage) [08:32] awesome :P [08:32] looks like it's working! [08:32] thanks all! [08:32] :) [08:32] df -h to see free space on all mounted things [08:33] yup i did that :P i just used the default df [08:33] df [08:33] oops wrong place [08:33] -x tmpfs also helps to clean it up some [08:33] ahh the h flag is a lot more readable [08:33] (hides the /dev and friends) [08:33] human readable format :P lol [08:33] proc is hidden by default because its 0 bytes in size [08:34] what exactly is proc? [08:34] the processor? [08:34] processes(and other stuff) [08:34] ls /proc/ [08:34] man procfs [08:34] AyoE"_BlaCkCuRrEnt [08:34] to see all running processes i do ps correct? [08:34] or ps -e [08:34] ReubenY: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/ref-guide/ch-proc.html [08:34] ReubenY: yeah(and ps uses /proc/) [08:34] hey wassup guys [08:35] Varka, : thanks [08:35] hey NOYA [08:35] wanna chat ? [08:35] clever: i don't know how to find out running services though [08:35] ps aux [08:35] ReubenY: not shure on that one [08:35] D [08:35] wat the hell has happing here [08:35] m 1st on ubuntu [08:35] :D [08:36] clever: i setup openvpn on my ubuntu desktop client but doesn't seem to reveal it when i do a ps command [08:36] ReubenY: if its not running you probly wont see it [08:36] clever: it is runing though [08:36] but it may also work purely in the kernel [08:37] or you may just not know what the binary is called [08:37] welcome ubuntu [08:37] clever: it is started using /etc/init.d/openvpn [08:37] clever: would that explain why i can't see it? [08:37] ReubenY: try /etc/init.d/openvpn status [08:38] thats just a script to start/stop/reload/give status [08:38] I am having trouble with compiz-fusion on gutsy, i can't install / change themes [08:38] clever: no status on it [08:38] umm [08:38] question [08:38] clever: as in no such command [08:38] read the script to see what it runs on start [08:38] how do i compile something from source [08:38] like [08:38] wine-0.9.48.tar.bz2 [08:39] its on my desktop [08:39] AnGeL__: extract it and read the INSTALL file in the folder it made [08:39] IPGHOST: no i don't have extra machine to use smb sharing :( [08:39] doesnt help me [08:39] hey do any of you guys have IE working with wine [08:39] ?

[09:33] moclobemide: have you checked edit > current profile > scrolling [09:34] there are so many people [09:34] guys .com on [09:34] scorpioxy: I remember there was a channel called #ubuntu-effects [09:34] scorpioxy: usually compiz --replace is the manual command I see. [09:35] pwnt-: technically we are supposed to help in here now, though, because it is now part of Gutsy. I dunno. There are still very helpful peeps in the other channel though too [09:35] pwnt-: ok, i will try that channel too. thanks [09:36] please help the fs check does not tell me anything about error-s, but when i login into gnome i'm flooded by EXT3-fs errors (ext3_get_inode_loc unable to read inode block ) and my filesystem goes readonly ;( is my HDD failing ? how can I fix this ? [09:36] hi does anyone know a good 3gp converter for linux [09:37] cherva: yeah, if you fix the errors using fsck and then they are gone but come back in like a day, it probably means your HD is dying soon. At least in my experience [09:38] How can i extend GNOME? (With themes, a better start menu, programs, and other stuff) [09:38] dxdt i don't fix them with fsck. fsck tells me that there are no errors [09:38] RivaeAerya: the cool desktop effects are a good start. Also gnomelooks.org (or something like that) has a ton of themes to download [09:39] cherva: like before you boot you try to run fsck /dev/sda# where # is the num and it says no errors? hmmm. I might be out of my expertise then and stuff. That is odd [09:40] dxdt: already have compiz-fusion [09:40] dxdt tell me about it :) i hate my PC :@ [09:40] RivaeAerya: yeah then emerald themes, start messing with themes that way. Get more themes from gnome looks and maybe use Avant to do the cool fancy dock thing like OSX [09:40] dxdt: how to get Avant? [09:40] dxdt will it help to format the drive ?

[11:48] how do I do this?: "Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups." [11:48] livingdaylight: use the shortcuts [11:48] close alt-f4 [11:48] Hi. Please how should I set JAVA_HOME for jdk (or jre) from repository. Java files aren't in one location. [11:48] livingdaylight: or a lot of right clicking? [11:48] nosklo, you don't understand... i have 1 workspace and [11:48] livingdaylight: resize, alt-f8 [11:48] livingdaylight: close, alt-f4 [11:49] livingdaylight: move, alt-f7 [11:49] livingdaylight: open menu using alt-f1 [11:49] amadeux, you there? [11:49] livingdaylight: then go to preferences appearence and choose default theme [11:49] anyone? [11:49] bloony: make sure that /dev/vboxdrv belongs to someone from that group, then assign group permitions, but not other. [11:49] nosklo, alt f8 does nothing === hyaBUSA is now known as newb [11:50] livingdaylight: alt-f8 you enter resize state [11:50] livingdaylight: then you use the arrow keys to resize [11:50] livingdaylight: Go to keyboard shortucts preferences and rtfm [11:50] what is the photoshop of linux [11:50] ? [11:50] gavi: gimp [11:50] scragar: yes, but how :p [11:50] gavi: but it is not photoshop clone, it just does the same thing [11:50] nosklo, do professionals use it [11:50] ? [11:51] mutable, don't speak to me like that you moron [11:51] gavi: yes, I am a professional, and I use it. [11:51] bloony: chown assignns owner, chmod changes permitions. [11:51] thank u [11:51] ahh its free i ssume right? [11:51] hi all!! [11:51] Please does anybody know hot to set up JAVA_HOME for jdk (or jre) from repository in Ubuntu. Java files aren't in one location. [11:51] gavi: as in speech [11:51] nosklo, i shouldn' thave to do all that.. i have everything set to default, why is everything askew? [11:51] scragar: hum.. ok [11:51] :-) [11:51] how do I know what Modeline am I using? [11:52] can anybody help me?? when i execute iwconfig in my wireless pci says NOT READY! [11:52] livingdaylight: I dont know... [11:52] :S [11:52] scragar: how can I see who got permition and who is the owner? [11:52] nosklo, i'm doing all these alt F4and 8 and 7 nothing is happening? [11:52] ls -l [11:52] livingdaylight: are you sure you are using metacity? :) [11:52] nosklo, yes [11:52] Is there a stable dockbar for ubuntu Amd64 install [11:52] nosklo, what else? [11:53] livingdaylight: I just wonder everytime I come in, people here are solving problems with WMs, Compiz and when I have real question, nobpdy answers. However sorry. I was fed up. [11:53] livingdaylight: no clue, from what you said I dont know what I have [11:53] mutable, apology accepted but don't dump your emotional crap on me again [11:54] livingdaylight: ok, ... sorry [11:54] mutable: I dont use java, sorry [11:54] nosklo any other softwares i should know about? a linux flash [11:54] dreamweaver [11:54] mutable: why do you need to set java home? [11:54] kahrytan, sorry, I'm here. I use it for various data [11:54] livingdaylight, This is too late advise but next time just do one thing and see what happens before you make some new change then it is easier to find the problem :) [11:54] jxxt, yea... i wish i could roll back the changes now :( [11:55] amadeux, If you use it for storage then why not switch it to external hdd with usb2 or firewire? [11:55] gavi: Moho is great for flash movies, and nvue is better than dreamweaver in many ways [11:55] kahrytan, then it would still use power and generate CO2 [11:55] kahrytan, I still want it to go into a low power state when not being accessed [11:56] livingdaylight, did you look through your preferences to see if you can get some functions back?? [11:56] amadeux, You can turn it off with a switch when not in use [11:56] true [11:56] so I found JAVA_HOMEs in /usr/lib/jvm/ [11:56] kahrytan, but what I suggest works on windows (powering down the drive until access), so I guessed that it worked on linux as well. I just don't know how [11:57] well well well had to get rid of gutsy for usb reasons (known bugs) but I want compizfusion. Treviño's and Amaranth's repos tutorial havent worked for me. anybody help (compizfusion in feisty)? [11:57] livingdaylight: broken config? If you're desperate, you could try deleting a few "dot-directories" (like .gnome) and let them be auto-regenerated. This will kill your settings though and you'd have to be careful not to delete anything you still need [11:57] jxxt, yea.. preference dialogs have changed too in part.. for eg prefernce dialog for workspaces usually lets you configure amount of windows and rows [11:57] gavi: I dont do web, just photo editing. [11:57] anybody know where the emerald channel is? [11:57] how can i make a script? (let's say, one that reconnects me to the internet) [11:57] balanceofcowards, its desperate now, yes [11:57] nosklo: what do you use to photo edit? [11:57] amadeux, but keep in mind, when drive isnt in use. it already doesnt spin or very lil [11:57] nickthorley: gimp [11:57] Hello Everybody [11:57] livingdaylight, So can you have 4???? [11:58] jxxt, no, just the one! [11:58] livingdaylight: rename, don't delete, that way you can restore them if you don't like it without those settings [11:58] nosklo: its probably a bad question but have you ever tried to get adobe cs2 running under ubuntu [11:58] livingdaylight, Grrr!! [11:58] sharpie: start a new text file with '#!/bin/bash' then just put in normal bash commands and chmod +x it [11:58] nickthorley: not a bad question but no, I think gimp is actually better than Photoshop. [11:59] hello [11:59] jxxt, when i open Opera it takes up the entire screen's real estate [11:59] clever: is there a way to make it enter the password itself? [11:59] I think gimp is pretty good too [11:59] nosklo: i cant comment but it wouldnt suprise me but unfortunately i have to receive files from designers who use photoshop but want to run ubuntu [11:59] amadeux, perhaps there is a drive that would spin down on it's own [11:59] sharpie: not that simply with sudo [11:59] sharpie: but you can set sudo to let certain commands run without the pw [11:59] sharpie: you can remove the password prompt for sudo, but I don't think it is recommended. [12:00] mythtv ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/atitvout [12:00] i'm trying with gksudo [12:00] but then the command's overloads screw it up [12:00] livingdaylight, Did the screen resolution change? maybe you change back and all is well???? [12:00] like, "poff -a" [12:00] that line(added in visudo) lets mythtv run atitvout as root without a password [12:00] nickthorley: ubuntu opens PSD files just fine [12:00] let's say i wanna run " [12:00] nickthorley: with gimp [12:00] modify for your needs and add to visudo [12:01] hi, how can i submit new frequencies to the autodetection database of Xorg? [12:01] "poff -a" and then "pon dsl-provider" [12:01] nickthorley: I get PSD from people all the time [12:01] how would i do that? [12:01] sharpie: if you mark those 2 programs as setuid [12:01] pirast: you can calculate a custom modeline [12:01] nosklo: do you find you have any formatting problems - where they position one thing different from how you receive it [12:01] sharpie: then they will run as root without care of who started then [12:01] sharpie: but then any user on your box can run them(if you had others) [12:02] balanceofcowards, how? [12:02] clever: i don't care about the password..just..how do i make 'em run? [12:02] Does UNetbootin can install using ISO instead of over internet? [12:02] nosklo: no, I never had that issue, PSD files get imported correctly [12:02] What is the difference between desktop environment and windows manager [12:02] nickthorley: no, I never had that issue, PSD files get imported correctly [12:02] sharpie: which poff;which pon(paste output to me) [12:02] where can I get libnotify themes? :) [12:02] hello [12:02] pirast: Use an online modeline calculator like http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl [12:02] clever: those are pppoe disconnect/connect commands [12:02] nosklo: do you mind if i pm you as this is slightly off topic [12:02] sharpie: are they scripts or binary's? [12:02] clever: poff -a kills all connections [12:03] can someone point me to the steam tut for 7.10 amd64? [12:03] What's flag boot used for? while installing Ubuntu; i'm in partitioning.. [12:03] can someone help me fix my audio.. i have a dell inspiron 1520 and ubuntu doesnt detect any sound devices [12:03] clever: dunno, they're a part of ubuntu [12:03] nickthorley: go to #gimp [12:03] I am trying to install thinkfinger and I need to use the gcc compiler tool.... however when I enter the command ./configure, I am met with an error telling me that: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [12:03] balanceofcowards, thanks. but how can i submit that data back to the xorg devs so that my display is autodetected in the future?

[12:04] clever: i'll enter the pass myself, i just wanna run them =[ [12:04] pirast: Probably the information provided by your monitor is invalid - therefore xorg is unable to use it [12:04] zetheroo: you have build-essentials right?

[12:05] sharpie: try using sudo instead of sksudo [12:05] zetheroo: but spell essentials correctly [12:05] ha [12:05] ok [12:06] sharpie: or use quotes(gksudo "poff -a") [12:06] what is sksudo?? [12:06] kahrytan Why is it set at /dev/sda3 (NTFS) , I mean .. /dev/sda3 (NTFS) - important data is in it. Is it safe? [12:06] jxxt: run 'whatis gksudo' in your terminal [12:06] anybody around has installed an wlan card netgeat WG311v3 via ndiswrapper? [12:07] clever: chmod +X ~/rcn.sh, right?

[12:08] sharpie: the +X probly doesnt hurt it any [12:08] i'll try to run it [12:08] zetheroo: i installed the driver like described in this howto http://www.dallas-live.de/vdr/mixed/wg511v2/. but if i do an ndiswrapper -l i get: invalid driver [12:08] kahrytan It's a partition that stores my important data.

[12:08] clever: hm, i tried doing +x but it's still a txt file [12:08] pga, Is it formating it? [12:08] hi all [12:09] Hi I have just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10. On a fujitsu E7110 the wireless card is detected, however when it see smy wireless network, it thinks I am using wep 128 and not wpa. wpa-supplicant latest version is installed. [12:09] is it possible to make pdf file smaller in ubuntu? [12:09] flokuehn: thats for the 511 card [12:09] anyone any ideas? [12:09] I have tried to do that in GIMP but failed [12:09] sharpie: yeah scripts are just text files [12:09] any idea please? [12:09] kahrytan Nop. [12:09] flokuehn: what card are you trying to install? [12:09] sharpie: you run it with sudo ~/rcn.sh [12:09] i mean, when i double click it, it doesn't give me the "display/run/run in console" dialog [12:09] zetheroo: i try to install the WG311v3 [12:09] I have tried to resize with imagemagick but failed too [12:10] flokuehn: well then you are using the wrong drivers [12:10] English help wanted: What is meant by 'scaling' in http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling? (I have read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling.) [12:10] pga, Then It will be safe then. [12:10] zetheroo: i thought that the differences between installation mehtod cant be that vast [12:10] with normal gnome, I was able to place the close minimize maximize thanks to some editing config file like "minimize,close" etc. I enabled "Visual effects" to "normal", how do I do to re put the close, maximize and minimize button to the left instead of right ? [12:10] sharpie: display = edit, run = run hiding terminal, run in terminal = run showing terminal [12:10] flokuehn: the How-To you sent me to was for the 511v2 [12:10] flokuehn: installation is well and all ... as long as you have the right drivers for the hardware [12:10] scragar: ...did you even bother reading the entire message? [12:10] jokoon, You use gconf-editor [12:10] zetheroo: yes i know. but thats are the drivers from included cd [12:11] anyone any ideas on wpa? [12:11] zetheroo: thats the matter. it seems to me, i have the right drivers. the driver name from cd is WG311v3.INF [12:11] sharpie: actualy, it disappeared from my screen before I finished reading it [12:11] jokoon, gconf-editor apps>metacity>general [12:11] flokuehn: ok.... and you installed it?

[12:13] flokuehn: I use a VERY simple program that installs the driver [12:13] jokoon, then probably compiz [12:13] kahrytan, not really I just want those buttons at the left of the drag bar [12:13] !firefox [12:13] firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins [12:13] zetheroo: which one? [12:14] flokuehn: Windows Wireless Drivers [12:14] scragar: something like the total comander's FTP in windows well something that has a GUI and it's not very hard to use [12:14] zetheroo: ok. i will see. thank you for help [12:14] or is there any clone of total comander for UBUNTU?

[12:15] H3Av3N2233: I've never used total commander, but put FTP into a search on synaptic and you get lots of results, I'm sure one will be similar [12:15] flokuehn: go to the Add/Remove program and search for "Wireless" [12:15] jokoon, It might be Emerald though [12:15] !ubuntu [12:15] Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.

[12:36] soundray: i did not [12:37] hipy: the sane way to get a root shell is sudo -i [12:37] rsk: no, you typed something else weird [12:37] so with compiz you can't move the close, maximize etc buttons ? [12:37] <[IoD]JoeBlack> Well i need help -> /var/log is 2.9G and causes that i cannot login as gdm reports "cannot write legitimation" [12:37] so why did you say that then?

[12:39] [IoD]JoeBlack: how did you determine the size of your /var/log at 2.9G? [12:39] good question [12:39] Daviey: you're free to mess it up, of course. [12:39] <[IoD]JoeBlack> "sduo du -sh /var/*" [12:39] soundray: good [12:40] then u can delete it or move it [12:40] <[IoD]JoeBlack> I asked before if it is save to rm/mv /var/log, i was informed not to do that [12:41] [IoD]JoeBlack: do a 'du /var/log | sort -n' to see if it's a subdir that takes up all that space. [12:41] when I use the file select dialog box and try to type the path in at the top, it never changes the current view of the files in the bottom file-selection pane. why? how can I make it browse to the location I typed in? [12:41] [IoD]JoeBlack: no, the size of your log dir indicates a problem. If you just delete it, you make it more difficult to find out what the problem is.

[13:09] samushka well the man says "its like exec but with a prompt" .. perhaps you cant use that with -delete but without delete you could use -ok "rm {}" or something like that [13:09] gordonjcp: i mean how to paste OUT of putty [13:09] samushka it is in the man page i suggest you read about it there since im not certain of the correct syntax [13:09] yo ppl!

The plugin is called "Skalieren" [13:22] why am I not able to kill this: 9370 ? 00:07:55 VirtualBox ? [13:22] khajx, a simpler way would be to install the fusion icons [13:22] balanceofcowards, ok, thank you. id like to know who had the stupid idea to call it "scale" [13:22] how? [13:22] are there a force kill function? [13:22] I just got a recent problem with my 7.10 ubuntu.. I just plugged out my TP cable, and when I plugged it back in I pretty much couldn't get on the net, neither can I ping anyone but myself. Any ideas how to fix this? I've done some common trouble shooting but it havent come up with any interesting info worth to note. [13:23] nitubuntu: is ca.archive.ubuntu.com down? I can't ping it. Try removing the "ca." [13:23] khajx, gimme a minute [13:23] burzum: It's because the windows are scaled :) -- I was searching for a while at first too [13:23] oh, time to ask again: can anyone think of a way to troubleshoot my laptop CD drive, which reads video DVDs, but neither audio nor data CD-roms. it has in the past read both, and I haven't knowingly made any changes to the configuration [13:23] ok [13:23] bloony: yes: kill PID [13:23] Hi, I need to remove a mounted partition from the places menu (hide it) how can I do that? Is it even possible? I have made extensive search. [13:23] bloony: where PID is the process ID, or use killall programname [13:24] if you can /msg me it would be perfect, that way ill see it.. [13:24] hear it [13:24] balanceofcowards: there is a tone of ca. [13:24] balanceofcowards: which one. [13:24] soundray: used the kill PID but didnt work.. :/ [13:24] nitubuntu: Everyone. [13:24] bloony: try again, or use kill -9 to add more force [13:24] Hi, I have a bigger problem now... I have a 4 HDD raid array. When installing Ubuntu, it detects my hard drives separately!!! Instead of my actual partitions. How can I fix that?? [13:24] khajx, point, but then anyone else here also wanting to know the same info won't get it :D, but no probs if you want it via /msg :D [13:24] nitubuntu: So - replace every "ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" with "archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu" [13:25] soundray: -9 worked [13:25] * djm63 alisases kill -9 to KILL [13:25] balanceofcowards: well I replaced the sources.list with that one you suggest. did an apt-get update then the dist-upgrade and it says 0 upgraded, 0 etc.. [13:25] ohhh [13:25] right [13:25] ok [13:25] no no, its cool! [13:25] type it here :) [13:25] balanceofcowards: hrm.. this is odd. [13:25] khajx, http://alokshenoy.blogrunn.com/ubuntu/compiz-on-ubuntu-x64-using-git/ the last part is how to install the fusion icon.

[13:28] shishir_, i would suggest a easier method [13:28] soundray: no monitor, as far as I can see, but you can pick up a flat screen for less than a ton and CRT monitors for nearly nothing [13:28] I'll wait for Iceland to stock them cheaper [13:28] Hi, I have a problem... I have a 4 HDD raid array and when installing Ubuntu, it detects my hard drives separately!!! Instead of my actual partitions. How can I fix that?? [13:28] whats the off-topic channel for ubuntu?

[13:32] MenZa: tells me that pppd is working, and nothing past that [13:32] :/ [13:33] hum.. why is there no sound on youtube clips and on myspace.. I guess theres something wrong with firefox in general? [13:33] ldiamond: in that case, it's probably a matter of finding out what drivers support it, and creating a custom install CD with those drivers in the initramfs. Annoying, I know. [13:33] its not abt using ntfs [13:33] ldiamond: please consider reporting a bug [13:33] MenZa: I could believe the drive was broken, but I can watch DVDs fine [13:33] how can I upgrade gnome?

You want to add a partition to fstab. So just follow the good advice on the help pages. [13:39] MenZa: did [13:39] when i try to do the command python setup.py install [13:39] soundray, When I installed 6.10, It ran on the live CD and I installed it from there, is it possible to do this with 7.10 ? [13:39] oisuxx: to install hellanzb just type: sudo aptitude install hellanzb [13:39] Of course, ldiamond [13:40] hai..... [13:40] oisuxx: or use the Synaptics package manager [13:40] When I choose Install on my 7.10 Cd, its in graphical mode, but not on the live CD [13:40] oisuxx: use that for all and every software you install [13:40] ldiamond, yes, every version since then all have LiveCD installers [13:40] hrmmm synaptics package manager? [13:40] ldiamond: yes, but that would be a fresh install. If the gutsy CD doesn't recognize your RAID, then it won't work. [13:40] oisuxx: it is in the System -> Administration menu [13:40] nitubuntu: sudo aptitude update [13:40] ldiamond: upgrading to 7.04 (feisty) sounds like a better idea to me. [13:41] system -> administration -> synaptic package manager [13:41] oisuxx: and is the Right Way (tm) to install software on ubuntu [13:41] but I thought that might succeed if I launch the live CD [13:41] how do i find it?

[13:44] so netflix is dominating blockbuster now [13:44] :) [13:44] Excuse me, I was wondering is anyone can shed some light on the delete button... I'm new to this myself and I found that if I use the shift-delete combination a file does get deleted, but if I just use the delete button a file disappears to somewhere else and I can't undo it. [13:44] oisuxx: if it is installed in synaptic you should just use it [13:44] hildegard: I don't think so. I definitely didn't need it even in feisty. [13:44] notsky: it goes to the Trash [13:44] (so I can't free the space that I need) [13:44] notsky, usually goes to the trash if you just press delete [13:44] jrib: I don't see it... [13:44] notsky: the trash or the file? [13:45] oisuxx: you can run it on therminal by typing hellanzb [13:45] where would it be?

[13:47] oisuxx: it is but it has no interface, no gui, you should read its documentation [13:47] notsky: navigate to the directory you mounted the ntfs partition to, show hidden files and look in .Trash* [13:47] oh [13:47] doh [13:47] ping [13:47] ok i dont understand that [13:47] alright guys, anyone know how I can tell rhythmbox/gstreamer to *ignore* specific filetypes?

Lemme check [13:57] logon, I just open an image and do image->set as wallpaper [13:57] ok [13:57] raddy: it's hard to help unless you put your entire request on one line. [13:57] thanks [13:57] EminX: the things you install with Add/Remove and Synaptic [13:57] s_spiff: for example I have a dictionary software with .exe [13:57] Hey, I have a friend who has an airport card, and he can't use a WEP key for some reason. Any idea why? [13:57] rico: I would like to add a bunch, so that ALL users can see them === bucatoamano is now known as sbucatino [13:57] EminX, there is a default dictionary that comes with your gnome panel [13:57] hi All, can someone tell me how to run migration-assistant after installing ubuntu ? [13:57] can anybody tell my what is SFS file system, and why my NTFS file system is named like that ? [13:57] just right click on your panel, and click add to panel [13:57] balanceofcowards, i have "desktop cube" & "rotate cube" both enabled/// ...i can rotate via the scrollwheel when the pointer is over the desktop, but not when a window is maximized and i scroolwheel with the pointer at the edge of the screen [13:58] s_spiff: I'm not english, my dictionary is : ( english to albanian) [13:58] EminX, ohh ok. Lemme check on google. please hold on for 2 minutes [13:58] Long time no see, tonyyarusso [13:58] s_spiff: thanks a lot, I'm here [13:58] balanceofcowards, i remember there was some setting in beryl where you could designate a number of pixels from screen edge or something that would allow the scrollwheel to rotate even with window maximized [13:58] soundray: I'm aroundish. [13:59] soundray: i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows how to to install ubuntu via the ISO, i downloaded Alternative cd, i didn't use netboot iso 'nall , Installation only went through base system, then it stuck in configuring APT mirrors [13:59] tonyyarusso: we haven't "intersected" much [13:59] hrmmm [13:59] khajx, its working fine on my computer [13:59] ok i still am not understanding this installation concept [13:59] lol [13:59] raintheory: I see. Not sure, whether that still works. [13:59] khajx, this is the exact command : git clone git://anongit.compiz-fusion.org/users/crdlb/fusion-icon [13:59] oisuxx: you just mark the package, and it is installed, where is the problem? [13:59] Where do I download Ubuntu so I can make it dual-boot with my Windows XP [13:59] oisuxx: The CD image approach [13:59] Nintendo64: ubuntu.com [13:59] Nintendo64: www.ubuntu.com [13:59] raddy: first stop: check the iso with md5sum [13:59] nah that i got [14:00] raintheory: You could rotate by pushing the mouse over the edge of the screen, though [14:00] !md5sum | raddy [14:00] raddy: To verify the integrity of a download, use the md5sum - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM for more [14:00] jammaah [14:00] like to install something else its still telling me to type in commands in the terminal and i keep getting errors [14:00] balanceofcowards, haha yeah i tried that setting but it quickly became frustrating because i kept accidentally doing it :o) [14:01] soundray, I forgot to mention, I was trying to install the server version of ubuntu 7.10 [14:01] Could that be the issue? [14:01] soundray: hey, iso is fine, why the installer is trying to configure APT mirrors after installing only base system? [14:01] Gnome, OOo, Firefox n'all seems not yet installed [14:01] ldiamond: I don't think so - the driver base should be identical [14:01] The installer didn't stuck why installing packages [14:01] I would like to add a bunch of backgrounds, so that ALL users can see them, is there an easy way to do this? [14:01] yes, but the install did not run on the live CD [14:02] it was in ugly blue and grey graphical mode [14:02] but while setting up apt mirror, that i don't want at this time [14:02] ldiamond: the server CD comes with a text-mode installer, if that's what you're asking [14:02] EminX, I cant check on my synaptic as its downloading something, but mostly OpenDict ( search synaptic after eneabling multiverse repos ) seems to be the thing you are looking for [14:03] ldiamond: the appearance is not important [14:03] alternate install cd is also text mode iirc [14:03] EminX, oops, its in the universe repository, but its plugins for conversion of one language to another is in multiverse [14:03] is it possible to disable apt configuration? [14:04] s_spiff: it says empty git repository... [14:04] ohhhh! [14:04] ok its doing something! lol [14:04] khajx, but it just worked on my pc [14:04] hey is there anyways I can reinstall the System/About Ubuntu html files or whatever it is? I don't think it was upgraded via fiesty-to-gutsy [14:04] raddy, while installing? [14:04] ok, it downloaded a package! [14:04] oisuxx: who is telling you to type commands? [14:04] khajx, ohh ok. good. follow the remaining commands. are you feisty fawn? [14:04] who here wants to help me use MS office 2007 as i ahve no clue what m$ has done [14:05] nitubuntu: did you run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'? [14:05] <_-Narcarsiss> is it recomended to upgrade to gutsy from feisty ? [14:05] no [14:05] gutsy [14:05] oisuxx: just stop following directions made for other distributions, find directions that are ubuntu-specific [14:05] _-Narcarsiss, if everything's working fine then why bother? [14:05] soundray: just did it [14:05] soundray: now what? [14:05] <_-Narcarsiss> trhanks any reason why? [14:05] Where would the log file for DHCP3 server be?

[14:05] Pirate_Hunter, umm.. you should know this is a ubuntu channel, asking help for MS is hilarious, unless you mean under wine for which you'll have to join #wine [14:05] raintheory: it stuck why setting up mirrors for apt, i don't want it to be done, only base system has been installed, then it started to setup apt mirrors, why is that? [14:05] ? [14:05] soundray: 0 upgrade, 0 newly install [14:06] hehehe [14:06] who call me xD [14:06] morit1, use a live cd [14:06] <_-Narcarsiss> well thats what i thore but a few friends recomended me to do it to get my ati drivers working [14:06] !gparted | morit1 [14:06] morit1: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [14:06] s_spiff: im on ubuntu 7.10 gutsy gibbon [14:06] astro76: thx for help. i hoped there would be another way than the live-cd ...

Now the title bar is missing on all windows. Does any one know which package I should install [14:07] soundray: DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy [14:07] s_spiff: you told me that there are a few more commands [14:07] morit1, not if you need to unmount /home and want to use gparted graphically [14:07] or should i just now add it to session [14:07] karayan: right click on the panel and select (looking) [14:07] nitubuntu: have you done a reboot since you completed the upgrade? [14:07] soundray: yes [14:08] soundray: just did actually [14:08] raddy, not sure... i know when i ran an install w/o an internet connection it automatically commented out all of the repos because they failed to verify [14:08] s_spiff: sorry the power has gonne [14:08] erstazi: Thanks, I will check [14:08] nitubuntu: what's the problem now? [14:08] i need to makeit? [14:08] EminX, ahh no probs. take your time .. [14:08] Kosovo has still problem with power, what a shame [14:08] karayan: add to panel > (under desktop & windows) select window selector [14:08] or switcher [14:08] soundray: the System/ About is still reporting Fiesty 7.04 is installed [14:08] khajx, yup. you require some dependencies its at the top of the post [14:08] of course, right click on the panel you want it to display on [14:08] s_spiff: so have you looked for that soft [14:08] ok! [14:09] I would like to add a BUNCH of backgrounds, so that ALL users can see them, is there an easy way to do this??? === wirechief_ is now known as wirechief1 [14:09] !airport [14:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about airport - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:09] !wep [14:09] WEP is totally insecure, don't use it, the full Wireless Documentation for Ubuntu can be found at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [14:09] s_spiff: Please can you help me a little how to search f.eg. in google for any Ubuntu softwares [14:09] EminX, nah, can't right now. but OpenDict seems to be it. Can you search your Synaptic for it? === ward_ is now known as Ward1983 [14:09] welp [14:09] just updated to gutsy [14:09] not bad.. [14:09] !enter | LadyNikon [14:09] LadyNikon: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:09] s_spiff: ok thankx I will do it [14:09] EminX, just type this : nameofprogram+Ubuntu and hit the return key. [14:10] s_spiff: ok thanks [14:10] soundray: ... [14:10] <_-Narcarsiss> BUSID PCI:1:0:0 should this be like that or BUSID PCI:1:0:1 on my laptop? ati 7500 xpress200 [14:10] nitubuntu: what version is System-About-Gnome reporting? [14:10] EminX, my pleasure. buzz me back if its not what you needed. [14:10] raintheory: why it only install Gnome, OOo Firefox over internet? [14:10] erstazi: The title bar is missing, I cant maximize or minimize any window [14:10] soundray: well since I did apt-get install gnome it's showing Gnome 2.20.0 [14:11] karayan: yes [14:11] karayan: when you right click on a panel, you can then click add to panel [14:11] OK, here's another question: I'm trying to help the guy install Ubuntu PPC (6.10) on his external Firewire HD. I've read that it's problematic, but the instructions are incomplete! [14:11] karayan: scroll down to Desktop & windows in that new window [14:11] raddy, are you doing a server install? [14:11] karayan: then select Window Selector or Window switcher [14:11] erstazi: Yes I added window selector [14:11] is there a faster program then wine? when loading newsleecher in wine its super slow, almost like its hanging [14:11] raddy: because if it installed everything it would be a 1,000 DVD install [14:12] raintheory: nope [14:12] karayan: oh I am sorry, I misread you, the title bar on your apps are not showing [14:12] karayan: have you tried restarting? [14:12] erstazi: yes [14:12] karayan: are you running compiz? [14:12] oisuxx, faster? well not sure if anything else will be fasted, but you can try cedega [14:12] #wine [14:12] err [14:12] oisuxx, use /join #wine [14:12] i thought i trype eine [14:12] lmao [14:12] nitubuntu: when you do a System-About-Ubuntu, and in the help screen, do a Help-About, what version does it report? [14:12] no im not trying to join a channel [14:13] hahahaha [14:13] i know how to do that [14:13] raddy, hrm... not sure, thats a bit odd. ...you mentioned the text mode installer... perhaps try installing via the liveCD and see if that works differently [14:13] erstazi: no, I installed a command line. then I am trying to install x [14:13] oisuxx, oh ok. sorry [14:13] logon: i don't ask it to install devel stuff, i just want to install the packages that are in the alternative cd iso [14:13] i thought i typed eine [14:13] erstazi: looks like I have missed some package [14:13] karayan: ah, you might have missed some required packages [14:13] soundray: Help 2.20.0 [14:14] raddy, is the base system installed? [14:14] raintheory: ohh, unfortunately livecd doesn't support installing without burning [14:14] erstazi: yup, but dont know which package handles the title bar [14:14] raddy: thats not how the install works, you install a minimal env, then upgrade once you boot in to the actual os :-) [14:14] karayan: hmmm, google should tell us [14:14] nitubuntu: your system is fully up to date. I don't know why it is reporting feisty still. Just ignore it. [14:14] raintheory: yup, base system installed, then nornally it should install graphical subsystem and apps, but it directly went to configure apt [14:15] raddy, you may have to add your cd into the sources.list file in order to apt-get install packages from it [14:15] soundray: hrm... [14:15] karayan: http://tinyurl.com/2fr26l [14:15] hey guys! can someone tell me if i can customize gtk/gnome so that "focus" on a button etc. is displayed more clearly [14:15] it says cedega is for gaming [14:15] logon: it didn't configure mbr n'all just went to configure apt [14:15] oisuxx: try crossover [14:16] can someone help me fix my audio.. i have a dell inspiron 1520 and ubuntu doesnt detect any sound devices [14:16] I spread Ubuntu a creative way. On Halloween, I made little pieces of paper that said "Ubuntu - A safer, free computer operating system. Go online to Ubuntu.com today!" and stuck em in kid's trick or treat bags for their parents to see!! [14:16] !crossover [14:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about crossover - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:16] dracz: under System-Preferences-Appearance, on the Theme tab, select a high-contrast theme. [14:16] raddy: try getting a newer install cd, mine did not do that [14:16] erstazi: That should be for compiz. after enabling desktop effects. I am sure I am missing some basic package in gnome [14:16] karayan: oh poo, [14:17] ubuntu2007, nice ;) [14:17] ubuntu2007, cool! [14:17] :-) [14:17] ubuntu2007: well done, but you should talk about this on #ubuntu-offtopic as it's not a support issue [14:17] I would like to add a BUNCH of backgrounds, so that ALL users can see them, is there an easy way to do this??? [14:18] karayan: do this for me: System > Preferences > Appearance [14:18] karayan: then select the visual effects tab [14:18] tell me which one is selected [14:18] logon: find out which directory the backgrounds are stored in and save them there? [14:18] erstazi: none is selected [14:18] ok [14:19] logon, /usr/share/backgrounds [14:19] just wanted to clear my mind on any compiz issue before continuing === J-W is now known as jw [14:19] s_spiff, thanks for everything! [14:19] Are there any alternatives to using the proprietary nvidia driver if I want 3d (compiz)? Is glx og aiglx an alternative? I don't quite understand what they are [14:19] kakoonia, huh? [14:19] khajx, [14:19] Please remember to recycle your microsoft products at your nearest local green box receptacle: This has been a public service announcement. [14:19] erstazi: but I want a bunch of stuff, my old distros came with them, is there a background pack I can install??? [14:19] karayan: sudo metacity [14:20] amadeux: the open source nvidia driver does not handle 3d acceleration, so you couldn't get compiz usuable [14:20] erstazi: hey the title bar came up when I selected normal. Looks like I have missed some pakage related to metacity [14:20] soudray: thx, but that doesn't solve it fully. focus in lists looks good, but on buttons its just a measly dotted line as before [14:20] i don't see where i can customize it eighter === gentoo is now known as quacken [14:20] s_spiff, i installed the fusion icon with git.. Thanks, works perfect! [14:20] kelsin, what is glx or aiglx? [14:20] kakoonia, oh cool. my pleasure. [14:20] karayan: do this: system->preferences->sessions [14:20] dracz: that's strange -- if I select a high-contrast theme, I get inverting buttons on mouseover [14:20] !glx | amadeux [14:20] Sorry, I don't know anything about glx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:21] not mouse [14:21] karayan: then add a new session: Name: Metacity and command: metacity [14:21] erstazi:ok [14:21] s_spiff - its khajx. [14:21] soundray: I do a lot with the keyboard. ie reach buttons with TAB key [14:21] karayan: of course, this is a hack, metacity doesn't start this way [14:21] Hello. I've got a problem with connecting to the internet on my ubuntu 7.10. Everything worked before, but when i plugged out my TP cabel and put it back in it just didn't wanna work. I've got 3 network cards, eth0, eth1 and eth2(my wireless) I've tried them all. I get a connection with all of them. the dns server shows, what ip address i got shows in the network manager window. Problem is though, I can't get on the internet. I've tried pi [14:21] cya around... [14:21] karayan: try sudo metacity [14:21] kakoonia, i figured :D [14:22] amadeux: some of the techniques used to 3d accelerate a desktop. With the closed nvidia driver you can get 3d desktops going with xgl (no need anymore), aiglx, or nvidia's own methods. Botton line is you do need nvidia's driver working [14:22] dracz: I see -- I won't be able to help you much with that. Maybe have a look on http://www.gnome-look.org [14:22] needhelp: are you using static ip? [14:22] needhelp, what is TP cable? [14:22] i wrote you a message, only its not allowed. [14:22] kelsin, ok [14:22] soundray: thx I'll have a look [14:22] kakoonia, no probs :D [14:22] erstazi: 2sec [14:23] needhelp, oh right twisted pair, it's early ;) [14:23] When i upgraded to studio from the normal gutsy, why did it also install "kernel 2.6.22-14-rt"? What is that kernel? [14:23] erstazi: sudo metacity shows warning. nothing comes up. display:0.0 already has a window manager [14:23] karayan: ok, thats because you switched it to normal in the visual effects [14:23] Odd-rationale: rt = realtime [14:23] kakoonia, you have to register your nick on Freenode to send PMs [14:23] !kernel | Odd-rationale, [14:23] karayan: I am suspecting [14:23] Odd-rationale,: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel. You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild. Also, see !stages [14:23] erstazi: it's currently configured to roaming mode, it has always been [14:24] !register > kakoonia (see private message from ubotu) [14:24] karayan: you're not suppose to use sudo with a gui, gksu on the other hand is alright, but still risky. [14:24] Odd-rationale: realtime kernel, music editors love it. [14:24] S=irc.link-net.org port 7000 [14:24] Odd-rationale: you can just keep that kernel, or install the -generic one if you prefer [14:24] J-_: blah blah blah, how are you? [14:24] erstazi: havent had any problems with it being configured that way, everything just stopped working when i plugged the cable out and in:s [14:24] needhelp: do you have network manager? [14:24] erstazi yeah [14:24] needhelp: in the taskbar [14:24] erstazi: yupp [14:25] Thanks, all. Does it matter whether I boot from rt or generic? What is the difference? [14:25] needhelp: I have two network adapters and I just removed the network manager because it causes problems with more than one ethN [14:25] erstazi: meh, alright, drinking a tea. still waking up. still half asleep from waking up at 7 lol [14:25] wow there are lots of folks in here [14:25] needhelp: the command line is more powerful with /etc/network/interfaces [14:25] J-_: I know that feeling, chamomile tea works great for falling asleep (: [14:25] Odd-rationale: the rt kernel has better response behaviour, but may not be as stable (although I'd be surprised if you'd notice that) [14:26] can someone with ubuntu video experience message me? [14:26] erstazi: so what should i edit in /etc/network/interfaces? : [14:26] funklover: no, ask your question here if you need help. [14:26] needhelp: first, look there and see what you have, pastebin it for me (http://pastebin.ca) [14:26] erstazi: It works now. I selected normal in Appearance, but it did not start, because I have not yet installed compiz. But this made the title manager to come up. Dont know how it happened [14:26] needhelp, you using roaming mode? I noticed something similar when switching from roaming mode to static, it just didn't work. I switched from roaming to dhcp and then to static and now its working. I don't know if its relevant but maybe it helps? [14:27] <|Steffan|> ubuntu is vmware rocks! [14:27] great: I have installed Ubuntu and it starts to load but when it gets to the desktop all i see are multicolors. i have a geforce 5200 and a 19 widescreen monitor [14:27] karayan: you started metacity the proper way [14:27] <|Steffan|> On my pc is fast [14:27] |Steffan|: ?? [14:27] <|Steffan|> Nothing :P [14:27] soundray: OK. The reason I asked is because the rt kernel won't load my nVidia driver so I can't startX. At least I know using the generic is alright. [14:27] |Steffan|: you are running ubuntu in vmware? [14:27] dear all, Is there any virtual serial port emulator like com0com available for ubuntu [14:27] <|Steffan|> Yes [14:27] |Steffan|: except X crashes when I open more than one instance of a GLX app [14:27] assuming my CD drive is broken, what do I have to do to put a CD on my USB key in such a format that I can use it to upgrade Fe*sty->Gutsy? [14:27] erstazi: how? I did not add it in session. I just did a sudo metacity [14:27] |Steffan|: you should install it to see how fast it really is [14:27] is there anybody who knows why acpid thinks there are lots of acpi (lid switch, videobutton) events, but in reality i don't touch any switch/button ? [14:27] <|Steffan|> I downloaded the wrong package [14:28] <|Steffan|> ubuntu 6.06 [14:28] erstazi: Is that the reason? [14:28] i can boot to command line and I have looked through some docs but nothing addresses what I am seeing [14:28] karayan: yeah, you started it, but next time when you reboot, it will load now [14:28] djm63, upgrading over the internet isn't an option? [14:28] <|Steffan|> erstazi, already have an ubuntu install [14:28] astro76: nope [14:28] <|Steffan|> Only playing with vmware [14:28] <|Steffan|> and ubuntu [14:29] I'll still be able to use all the tools? Right? [14:29] |Steffan|: ok, if you want to find a faster virtual app, try VirtualBox, its great, I use 3 vms at once! [14:29] hey guys samba will not start on my machine. I keep getting a segmentation fault. How can I fix this? [14:29] erstazi: Thanks, for the info. [14:29] karayan: no problem [14:29] djm63, I would assume the contents of the alternate CD on the USB drive would be sufficient, maybe someone can confirm [14:29] astro76: unless there's a way to do an interrupted installation over a few weeks on a 14k unstable link [14:29] <|Steffan|> I need windows and ubuntu [14:29] <|Steffan|> at the same time [14:29] funklover: do a 'grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf' -- what does the last line say? [14:29] ubuntu -> vmware [14:29] where can I get info on how to setup a persistent home directory for gutsy ? [14:29] <|Steffan|> No.. windows -> vmware [14:29] |soundray| nv [14:29] |Steffan|: ah, what I do is I installed Windows XP pro in a vm, then I can do both, at the same time [14:29] !upgrade | djm63 also check here [14:29] djm63 also check here: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [14:30] <|Steffan|> My ubuntu isn't very stable... I one of the many... with the nvidia problems [14:30] |Steffan|: I found virtualbox to handle this very well [14:30] astro76: I have the alternate CD, but I'm going to have to transfer the contents on a windows computer: should a make an .iso, or just drag'n'drop?

It seems it keeps crashing on me. [14:31] astro76: I don't have the .iso: I got a friend in the west to postal-mail me the CD [14:31] <|Steffan|> Nvidia 'knows' the problem [14:31] funklover: do a 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf' and replace Driver "nv" with Driver "vesa". Then your X should at least boot. Then you can try installing the proprietary NVidia driver. Ubotu will send you a private message about it.

I installed the compizconfig package and it already has the Window Decoration box checked. Any ideas?

[15:34] c0Ld: would you know of a way to apt-get a package without installing a dependancie? [15:34] When i right click on the folder in the trash can and go to properties it says that is where it is. [15:35] bulmer, my ethernet. You just asked me if it showed up anywhere [15:35] c0Ld: or how to blacklist a package [15:35] where is the page that lists what codecs come stock? I though there was a reference on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [15:35] javajake i think what i did before was try to delete a program that was not uninstalled. I think that is where my problem originated from. [15:35] John117, try the command I gave you then [15:35] KaoZ-> is it plugged in? a working nic card? [15:35] John117, how did you install the program? [15:35] javajake lol i tried it. it said no such directory. [15:35] John117, wow... [15:35] bulmer, it works fine, I'm dual booting with windows and it works fine there [15:35] John117, heh, OK [15:35] javajake I just went into the folder and typed "sudo make uninstall" for all the folders of kiba dock. [15:35] this is great. [15:36] javajake that is so weird. IN the trash can the folder says that it is in /home/garrett/.trash but when i go there, the folder does not exist. [15:36] KaoZ-> which command did you type to find out about your nic card in ubuntu? [15:36] John117, mmk [15:36] John117, I've had that happen before, where Trash gets desynced from the real world. :P [15:36] bulmer, I didn't [15:36] John117, pretty much you ignore it, since the file's gone. [15:37] bulmer, what command should I use? [15:37] Does anyone know if there is a way to download package files, save them to a usb stick, and install them on another computer later? [15:37] KaoZ-> then how would you expect to find it if you didnt type any commands? [15:37] Hello! S.O.S.! I change my resolution to 1280x1024 in Screens And Graphics and when I log off, the resolution goes back to 1024x768. Why is that? How can I fix that? Thanks! [15:37] John117, to be sure, run: "sudo updatedb && locate kiba" - this will find anything named kiba on your system. Change kiba to whatever the folder name is [15:37] KaoZ-> scroll back, i gave it to you earlier [15:38] hello [15:38] anyone know of a way to install a package without its dependancies? [15:38] tadah, possibly because 1280x1024 isn't working, and so it falls back to 1024x768 [15:38] tadah, you'll want to check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for any errors about resolution problems [15:38] arno-> does it make sense? that is why it is called dependent.. [15:38] javajake okay. i ran that command. everything that is listed is in /home/garrett/kiba [15:38] arno, bad idea [15:38] Hello I have tried following instructions on here.. My SUDO still won't work. What is the default password for root on Ubuntu 6.06? [15:39] arno, unless you know what you are doing, I think you can use --force [15:39] i know :) [15:39] arno, but installing a program without its dependencies is asking for trouble. [15:39] it wants to install apache when i have lighttpd [15:39] arno, unless you don't know* [15:39] :) [15:39] heh [15:39] how can i install screensaver-plugin for compiz-fusion? [15:39] ???? [15:39] javajake now, i went into every subdirectory of /home/garrett/kiba and typed "sudo make uninstall" and it was successful. Can i delete the folder /home/garrett/kiba now? [15:39] ????/ [15:39] i ran two commands from the ubuntu board in order to get my ATI card to use desktop effects and after i restarted, my sound does not work [15:39] John117, um, maybe [15:39] anyone have any idea how to troubleshoot? [15:40] so is there a way to install something without its dependancies? [15:40] wich command did you ran? [15:40] or how to blacklist a package? [15:40] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xgl [15:40] John117, I've never dealt with kiba (if you have to do that, it must be of bad quality) and I like to stay away from make when I can. :) [15:40] javajake i need to do some serious reading on compiling, the "make" command and how gnome installs software and where it puts it ect. I really need to understand how this stuff works. [15:40] and sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [15:41] John117, _that_ is why I stay away from make. :D [15:41] bulmer, it's telling me that the command is not found... [15:41] javajake it seems like i have to use "make" to install everything useful on ubuntu. === Arion_Silver is now known as Rocky_Spirit [15:41] John117, such as...? [15:41] system---->preferences--->sound [15:41] hi guys [15:41] John117, make install is what I dread, more than make itself [15:41] try this [15:41] something very strange just happened on my machine - i probably downloaded some pkg i shouldn't have downloaded. my laptop has no problem dhcp'ng getting an ip address connect to the router. now i can't ping the router or the internet - i received an ip address from router when i try to ping it or yahoo.com i get the msg opeation not permitted -- ideas why and how to allow eth and wlan0 to work again? [15:41] deufrai, hey [15:41] there are the settings for configuring the sound [15:41] Does anyone know if I could transfer package files downloaded with Synaptic to another Ubuntu computer, and make Synaptic use those files instead of downloading them again? [15:41] hi [15:42] Hi :) [15:42] I need feedback on ubuntu 7.10 install on a HP/COMPAQ NC6000 laptop [15:42] javajake kiba.. Truecrypt. some GUI think for truecrypt. all of that stuff had me typing "make install" commands that I don't even understand. Other programs i don't recall right now were all about "you'll have to compile it if your version of linux isn't listed" [15:42] does anyone know anything about the new ati/amd 8.42 drivers? good/bad? [15:42] i honestly do not understand tihs@! [15:42] I'm going to kill this thing [15:42] KaoZ-> which command? did you try using sudo with it? [15:42] i have ati radeon x1550 and x64 amd, so i'm thinking if i should try those. [15:42] anyone get streaming or transcoding video from ubuntu to the xbox 360 working? [15:43] how do i know its safe to physically remove a device? is unmounting it enough? [15:43] segmentation faults in a couple programs sincei upgraded to gutsy [15:43] John117, yea.... [15:43] ubuntu: you got your packages in /var/cache/apt/archives/ [15:43] John117, you might consider Gentoo if you want to get into compiling. :) [15:43] bulmer, I tried ishw and ispi [15:43] mynyml: yes [15:43] Nikitas350: thanks [15:43] ubuntu: get them from there and put them back there on the other machine [15:43] nitubuntu: what programs, have you uninstalled them reinstalled ? [15:43] nitubuntu, as I' [15:43] Nikitas350 : I switched to multichannel playback and "Test" works, but Amarok still does not play anything back [15:43] KaoZ-> you were not reading correctly, its lshw and lspci [15:43] Synaptic will detect them and use them? [15:44] daxroc: samba, gnome-terminal [15:44] nitubuntu, nvm [15:44] bulmer, oops [15:44] ubuntu: if it requests the same version, yes [15:44] javajake I don't WANT to.. lol it just almost seems like a necesary evil at this point. I'm very new to linux/ubuntu and it just seems like if you ask a question here, everybody gives you terminal commands that I don't understand to fix it. LOL [15:44] okay, thank you [15:44] danielfrunz: try play something with totem or rythmbox [15:44] John117, right. The terminal is the most used application, adn you can't avoid it [15:44] Hi. I can get the number of all XML files in a folder using: "find . -name "*.xml" | wc -l". How do I get their collective size on disk? [15:45] deufrai, http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/hp.html [15:45] javajake okay. I deleted the kiba directory with no problems. It went to trash and i deleted it and no problems. Now i would like to get AWM working. [15:45] deufrai, also, try googling: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+HP+NC6000 [15:45] javaJake: ok, thanx [15:45] deufrai: check the LaptopTestingTeam page on the wiki [15:45] javajake or awn rather. [15:45] John117: well you installed an application thats not in a repo ( currently beta software at best ) running commands you dont know much about [15:45] daxroc: No matter if I get it from different sources it still segment faults out on me. [15:46] tritium: wich wiki ? [15:46] daxroc Kiba-dock is not in repo then? [15:46] rythembox doesn't play [15:46] deufrai: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam [15:46] Now i has another problem. Now i can't manage to find where to change the application/control themes... [15:46] daxroc and neither is AWN for that matter. [15:46] tritium: ok, thanx [15:46] John117, here are instructions taht avoid make altogether... this is what you're looking for: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=2767 [15:46] :) [15:46] John117: that's what I said :P [15:47] John117, Hold on!~ [15:47] daxroc ah.. gotcha :) [15:47] John117, http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository [15:48] John117, those are better. [15:48] <_kakoonia> hey, can someone point out a good Ipod management tool + music player? [15:48] javaJake: fiesty < gutsy :O [15:48] Nikitas350: soundworks in totem [15:48] daxroc, true... [15:48] bulmer, ok [15:48] bulmer, it's recognizing my network adapter [15:48] John117, are you running Gutsy? If so, try replacing "feisty" in the sources.lst lines to "gutsy" [15:48] javajake okay.. I have it installed. I've even run it. But i type "avant-window-navigator" in the terminal and it runs great! But when I close the terminal it goes away. [15:48] Where do i change my application/controls theme? [15:49] bulmer, but it's not showing up in connections [15:49] John117, Run "avant-window-navigator &" instead. [15:49] why can't i ping anything -- operation not permitted ? [15:49] daxroc: i've pastebin the results when trying to start samba [15:49] http://pastebin.ca/759845 === nitubuntu is now known as unit3 [15:49] John117: you can have it launch , add it to your session startup /usr/bin/avant-window-navigator [15:49] javajake LOL just did and it worked. LOL but when i cloed the terminal it went away. [15:50] John117, the little & makes the command independent [15:50] i can connect to the network but then i can't ping (internet is working) [15:50] KaoZ-> what does the command ifconfig -a or ip a shows ? [15:50] John117, never clsoe the terminal using the X button. [15:50] John117, that doesn't save your commands, or do other nice things [15:50] John117, type "exit" instead [15:50] ohadz-> do you have a firewall running on same box? [15:50] guys, i'm looking to buy an mp4 player with good linux support - any recommendations? [15:50] hello! how can i add a module to my system ? where should i place it [15:50] John117, 'course, it's not bad to close using X [15:50] :) [15:50] ok, so what's the best tool for overclocking in Ubuntu? [15:51] Just inconveniant for the system. :P [15:51] <_-Narcarsiss> duz anyone here have a windows test box they can affort to stuff? [15:51] bulmer, i don't think so. i tried to flush all the iptables [15:51] javajake OOHH Okay thanks :) [15:51] Hi, I got a problem with Ubuntu on my desktop. [15:51] _-Narcarsiss, you want someone to test software for you? [15:51] what is duz and affort? [15:51] Can anyone tell me where Synaptic stores downloaded package files? [15:51] duz = DOS? [15:51] <_-Narcarsiss> well you could call it software [15:51] what is the name of the file in which all user information is stored? [15:51] ohadz-> how did you verify this? [15:51] Davy_Jones, duz = does [15:52] _-Narcarsiss, :P [15:52] ubuntu: /var/cache/apt/archives [15:52] John117: the & forks the application to the background [15:52] javaJake: i didn't know that.. is that in the dictionary? [15:52] I installed the AMD64 edition yesterday. [15:52] ubuntu: Are you looking to clean them out? If so, there is a command to do that I believe in apt-get. [15:52] _-Narcarsiss, I doubt you'll find someone who's willing, however, I'll bet you can google for reviews. Besides, that's off-topic [15:52] samushka-> no such thing, its distributed all over [15:52] Davy_Jones, har har [15:52] bulmer, how did i verify what? that i don't have firewall running or flush iptables? [15:52] from feisty i could open files on another machine via nfs, it is not any longer possible with gutsy, i just see the dir as files and i cannot open them, what has changed? [15:52] samushka: is /etc/passwd what you mean? why? [15:52] hi [15:52] [15:52] hi [15:52] i got a crazy question. is there anyway i can reinstall libc6 ?

[15:53] <_-Narcarsiss> all it duz is just deleted a shitload of windows registry keys to stop explorer run regedit notpad taskmanager well everything opening up on windows startup rendering the computer useless so all you can do is format reinstall [15:53] jrib i have a question on my linux homework, to list all the users on the system (not only those who are logged in)... and it says, hint: find out which file all user information is stored in [15:53] man, go play somewhere else really [15:53] !offtopic | _-Narcarsiss [15:53] _-Narcarsiss: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter.

[16:01] i have 2 firewire drives, one automatically boots up at startup but the other one doesnt. but if i do a sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart both drives show up just fine. i dont get why this is happening. i am running gutsy with gnome. [16:01] bulmer, here http://pastebin.ca/759858 [16:01] It seems like the toolbar at the bottom of the screen is conflicting with AWN.. When i move the mouse away or click on something it goes away and i can't get it back.. Anybody know a fix? [16:01] bulmer sudo ping 10.1.7.10 [16:01] bulmer that's my gateway [16:02] John117: delete the bottom panel.

[16:02] Hi, when I try to run Compiz Fusion in Gutsy, the Window Decoration doesn't load. I installed the compizconfig package and it already has the Window Decoration box checked. Any ideas? I've googled for a solution and haven't been able to find one [16:02] Not funny, I had to use 'sudo ubiquity --no-migration-assistant' to get past formatting partitions with the gui installer!! [16:02] is gnome-main-menu (slab) broken on gutsy? i have the package installed but it does not appear in the 'add to panel' dialogue [16:02] ohadz-> use sudo ping localhost <-- this work or not? [16:02] John117: right click the top panel and 'add new panel' [16:03] bulmer, still the same operation not permitted [16:03] how do i open a file explore with root permission?

[16:03] fload: to do what? [16:03] ohadz-> how long have you had your install? this is the 1st ? [16:04] I think I broke my partition table. my partitions are not visible in Gparted, but I can see most of my drives in Places -> Computer... [16:04] put a file in etc [16:04] Anybody else have any suggestions on how to remove a "stuck" folder from the trash can? [16:04] fload: gksudo nautilus [16:04] actually it has just shown up..

[16:04] bulmer, just finished setting everyhting up [16:05] Does anyone know how I may revert back to the audio device setup Ubuntu originally setup? I believe my alsa setup is broken. [16:05] Pici: what if you've removed both panels? %^) [16:05] !resetpanel | Elko :) [16:05] Elko :): To reset the GNOME panels back to their defaults, delete ~/.gconf/apps/panel/ , log out, then back in.

I just plugged out my internet cable and plugged it back in, and whops, it didn't work any longer :S I've got 3 network cards(eth,eth1 and eth2(the wireless card). I've always used eth0 as it has always been working until i plugged it out and plugged it in. can't figure out whats the problem. I can ping other computers on my network and I can access the internet through wind === CO is now known as Co_ML^Co [16:39] but yeah, I can't access the internet through ubuntu [16:39] My fan is extremely loud and it won't turn off (or slow down) [16:40] bloony: What version of Windows are you installing?

[16:42] Hi all. At the moment i'm searching sf and googling some stuff . I'm searching for a F/OSS POS system. If it supports inventory would be great, but the first (main) aim is the POS. Accounting is a second question, if that's integrated in the pos-system would be cool. The most sf.net projects are kind of dead on this subject.. [16:42] I want to make my fan stop being so loud [16:43] needhel2, The second is right the first will do nothing... netowrking is in the init.d dir. Is it just eth0 that's borked? [16:43] does anyone have experience in a nice POS system that runst on my ubuntu ? [16:43] bulmer: ~/.recently-used does not exist. [16:43] What other eyecandy is there for Ubuntu aside from (but not without) Compiz, avant window navigator, and GNOME themes? [16:43] I have a Logitech MX518 mouse, but i cannot use all of it's buttons in kubuntu 7.10. Anyone know of a guide i could follow? [16:43] I have a question. Whats the best driver to use with a GeForce 8800 GTS in xorg? The restricted and automatic driver, the nv driver from the Nvidia web or what? I used both with successful result and when I restart the computer, the configuration fails switching back to VESA failsafe settings. What driver must use or, what's the problem here? Thanks [16:43] RivaeAerya: I use the antithesis of Eyecandy, so I'm not sure. ;) [16:43] KaoZ-> its not detected correctly by hal as shown in dmesg [16:43] phaedra: well, all the 3 network cards were working before.. I can connect with my wireless card too, but I can't get on the internet with it [16:44] cidwel: The drive named "nv"? [16:44] bulmer, what can I do about it? [16:44] bullgard4-> is any files showing in most recent documents? [16:44] driver* [16:44] Silver-x: same here [16:44] yes [16:44] That's not the GL version. [16:44] there are two [16:44] "nvidia" is the GL one. [16:44] or three that can be used [16:44] nv, nvidia y vesa [16:44] hi [16:44] bulmer: yes, there are 10 files shown. [16:44] KaoZ-> i dont know, look around your bios maybe [16:44] needhel2, Are these all static IP's or dhcp? And do you have all nic's activated in linux? [16:44] bulmer, k, what should I be changing? [16:44] is there a fix for the "small fonts" issue in gutsy? (i enabled ms ttf fonts + sub pixel but fonts still small) [16:45] bullgard4-> works on mine, same user you're looking at right? [16:45] Oh well I'll try recompiling kernel [16:45] o, i meant in firefox, sorry [16:45] cidwel: Hold on a second. [16:45] bulmer: Yes, I am the only user. So, it is the same user. [16:45] * Sliver-X will post his xorg.conf [16:45] KaoZ-> i dont know, i am not familiar with your bios..look around to see if you can deduce from the options [16:45] phaedra: Well, their configured as "enabled roamin mode" all of them. It has always been working:x [16:45] okay [16:45] needhel2: but I think their dhcp? [16:46] bulmer: Do you use Gutsy? [16:46] anyone tips on POS software ? Beside the SF.net projects ? [16:46] bullgard4-> i dont know then, that is how in my system.. a file called .recently-used in my home directory [16:46] bulmer: Yes, this is what you said. [16:46] bullgard4-> i dont use gutsy, i dont need bleeding edge stuff [16:47] phaedra: but I think their dhcp? [16:47] i use dapper [16:47] cidwel: http://sliverx.arc-nova.org/xorg.conf [16:47] bulmer: Ok. I will do a bit of sniffing, using the information which you gave me. [16:48] needhel2, Try sudo /etc/init.d/networking force-reload If that doesn't work you might need to reboot to get the netowrk to correctly assign the ip's. Yes, roaming would be dhcp. [16:48] The driver itself is referenced at: [16:48] Section "Device" [16:48] Identifier "nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT]" [16:48] Driver "nvidia" [16:48] EndSection [16:48] Hey guys... Was wondering if I could get some help? Recently I started getting a GRUB Hard Disk Error when I started booting my computer. I've tried re-running grub-install /dev/sda (my main drive) and even resorting to a windows CD's fixmbr (since I dual boot for gaming) and still it persists with the Grub error... Any ideas? :/ [16:48] but, my nvidia is a 8800 GTX, not 7600, should it work? [16:48] Obviously, you have a different video card from me, but "nvidia" is what should be utilized. [16:48] ah [16:48] okay [16:49] and nvidia is the restricted in the ubuntu repo one or is the NVIDIA driver from the web?¿ [16:49] is there really nobody with some good info on point-of-sale software ? (beside the sf.net projects ) [16:49] Both. [16:49] okay! [16:49] thanks a lot :) I'll try [16:49] hmm [16:49] nvidia is the official driver: nv is the open source version that only allows 2D functionality. [16:49] No problem. [16:50] Hi there!

[17:31] hi [17:31] alberto: can you ping that ip? [17:31] bur[n]er: it's not muted I i tried gnome-sound-recorder and audacity [17:31] alberto: sure it's not a problem with the windows side? [17:32] hipodilski: sure it's set to teh right input source in audacity? [17:32] jburd, i'm trying to access a linux computer running samba on both... [17:32] i have a bit of a problem, i created partitions with gparted, i created them in fat32 and now when i try to install winxp it doesn't see those partitions, what have i done wrong? [17:32] bur[n]er....its a d-link pci wireless adapter.....yes it always gets the ip by dhclient...i dont know abt ndiswrapper [17:32] alberto: i've had luck setting both to the same workgroup [17:32] alberto: Try issuing `ping 192.168.0.9` === benefred is now known as fredo [17:32] hamzzzz: got me my friend... try the help.ubuntu.com/community site and search your card model === fredo is now known as fredozee [17:33] bur[n]er, nope, well i have my laptop and my desktop pc's running both linux, but i use samba because i have some windows's pcs [17:33] I am using fwcutter for my Dell wireless card... I only get 24Mb/s with it... would I do better with ndiswrapper? I am scared to fool woth it though, because this is the first time I ever got wireless working [17:33] workgroups are irrelevant for samba [17:33] well i installed my wireless card drivers, whats the best tool to use for wireless? [17:33] bur[n]er: well [17:33] alberto: Why not use SSH? :-) [17:33] alberto: i'm with ya... i use samba everyday between my ubuntu and win boxes [17:33] Vsop_vsop_vsop_v, iwconfig is good [17:33] samba is cooler [17:33] Cooler how? [17:33] samba has a setting for workgroup [17:34] bur[n]er: when starting from gnome-terminal audacity reports error [17:34] Thanks, [17:34] Expression 'parameters->channelCount <= maxChans' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 786 [17:34] Expression 'ValidateParameters( outputParameters, hostApi, StreamDirection_Out )' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 979 [17:34] I'd accept encryption eating up a bit of resources, but other than that, why is Samba any cooler? [17:34] bloodniece: but it's arbitrary and has no relevance on whether file sharing would work to each other [17:34] bur[n]er, yeah, but my desktop can see all the network's pcs anda viceversa but my laptop can't even see itself =s [17:34] bummer, sorry hipodilski, got me... mine just worked [17:34] Bruening, where ya get it? thow me a bone here [17:34] need help with software installation..... [17:34] alberto: Have you tried pinging the other node? What response did you get? [17:35] DariusS: Installing what? [17:35] alberto: maybe it's not online at all? is it firewalled? [17:35] jburd, basically because i don't know how to use it =s.... i have no response when trying yo ping the other one pc... [17:35] Hi all :) Each time I log into my session, I have to set my screen resolution and refresh rate manually. Is there a way to save this into xorg.conf ? FYI, I have two users on the computer. [17:36] alberto: if you can't ping... are you even online? can you ping google.com? [17:36] alberto: It's easy. Just install ssh on both computers and then click Places > Connect to Server... > Choose SSH and type the information. [17:36] hi, does someone know why there is no libsasl2-gssapi-mit package for Gutsy ? [17:36] What is the function of the file ~/.recently-used? [17:36] That creates a link to that computer on your desktop. [17:36] Click it and you're in. :-) [17:36] any suggestion how to fix this? [17:36] bullgard4, it is the list that comes down in the recently used menu thing [17:37] bur[n]er, my laptop? i don't think so but let me check 'cause once i installled firestarter which is a firewall software i think.... and yes i can ping everything on the web ie google... so i'm online [17:37] Hi everyone [17:37] alberto: Yes, but can you ping the other computer? [17:37] alberto: both computers are on the same router or switch? [17:37] alberto: can you ping the other computer by its ip address? [17:37] i need some help downloading torrents in ubuntu [17:37] A connection between two computers to be up and running you know. [17:38] Cerberius: que es problema? using deluge torrent by chance? it's awesome [17:38] requires both* [17:38] Bruening, just read a bit about iwconfig and ya.. how bout something that a 12 yr old could use [17:38] lol [17:38] bur[n]er, well to all of you, yes both are on the same router, i can't ping my desktop pc by its ip address [17:38] Vsop_vsop_vsop_v, everything else is a front end for iwconfig [17:38] bruenig: No. Its size is 112711 bytes. I contains much more than only the last 10 or 20 recently used filenames. [17:38] bur[n]er, oh darn, now i can ping my desktop [17:38] bullgard4, open it up then [17:39] never used deluge, but i try with azereus, bittorrent and never begin the downloading === darkfire is now known as xdarkfirex [17:39] bruenig: I did open it and sniffed a bit in it. [17:39] alberto: that's a good thing ;) try smb://ipaddress in nautilus... or sftp://ipaddress or ssh://ipaddress for the other linux box if you have ssh installed as jburd suggests [17:39] Cerberius: bummer... comcast? [17:39] bullgard4, so are there things in there that aren't things you have used? [17:39] like what else is in there except recently used stuff [17:40] winndows firewall [17:40] * N3bunel saluta [17:40] bur[n]er, ok now it loaded a empty window like i had nothing shared on my desktop [17:41] Bruening, ok for the record, i cant get on the network , the wifi light is on , just enableing the wirelss dont connect , [17:41] does anyone know of a vpn client for sonicwall? [17:41] I filed a bug against an app in launchpad. Since, I found users on OS X that have the same issues, so it's not Ubuntu related. Is there a way, in the Ubuntu tracker as a user, to mark it as an upstream problem? [17:41] alberto: know any of the share names? you could try "smb://computername/sharename" for example "smb://desktop/username" [17:41] Vsop_vsop_vsop_v, try to get it going via iwconfig and if that fails, paste the output [17:41] bur [n] er: what's cast? [17:41] bur [n] er: comcast* [17:41] bur[n]er, ok let me try [17:41] bruenig: Yes. For example file:///home/detlef/Linux/Ubuntu/Galileo-Ubuntu-Buch/ubuntu/bilderklein/klein14_nvu.gif. [17:42] sonicdude: can't those crappy sonicwalls use pptp vpn? [17:42] I want to install duo boot with Windows and was wondering what is the suggested partition settings. I heard optimal situation is: 1 partition for Windows, 1 for swap, 1 for Ubuntu and 1 for files. Is this it? [17:42] Cerberius: it's an ISP that is throttling/blocking torrent traffic [17:42] bur[n]er, ok now there is a box that ask me for a username, domain and password [17:42] bullgard4, ok that looks like a gif you opened at some point [17:42] hey guys ive got a tv tuner card...but i dont know how i can watch tv in ubuntu [17:42] hamzzzz: use mplayer [17:42] alberto: killer :) use the user/pass from the server machine [17:42] bruenig: Correct. But not recently. [17:43] bullgard4, what are you asking, I am confused [17:43] bullgard4, it is something you recently used at some point in the paste [17:43] past* [17:43] it had been recently used [17:43] йа злостный спамер. кто хочет поговорить, идите на #inettools [17:43] bur[n]er: i'm from Venezuela and my ISP don't block my torrents traffic because i can download in Windows [17:43] rsk mplayer movie player [17:43] ? [17:44] bur[n]er, cool, it worked, thanks bur[n]er!! but now i have a question.... can access this folder without doing this? like i do on my desktop? [17:44] rg [17:44] I have four bz2 files for alsa which were given for my motherboard . How do I install them . They are named alsa-driver,alsa-lib,alsa-tools,alsa-utils all ending with 1.0.11.tar.bz2 [17:44] My wireless card (ipw3945) is still going crazy. It disconnects, dmesg gives me all kinds of spam about 500ms timeouts for connecting to the daemon, activating LEDs, etc., and suddenly I can't do anything as root. [17:44] anyone know why when I try to use "Superkey + L" or "Superkey + E" for keyboard shortcuts in gnome, it only captures "Super_L" and I can't get combos in there? is this a bug? any workarounds? [17:45] bulmer: "What directory stores the 10 filenames which are displayed in Gnome main menu Places > Recent Documents?" [17:45] So I always have to reboot to get wireless working again. [17:45] alberto: you could go through network... or create a link on your desktop to a shared folder that's interesting [17:45] and how do i use mplayer to tune into my tv [17:46] Learning_Ubuntu: you don't really... doesn't your stuff just work? [17:46] bullgard4-> in my system.. a file called .recently-used in my home directory [17:46] No I cant get the Line in function to work :( [17:46] I installed ubuntu on a second hard drive on my computer. Now, I'd like to format the windows hard drive and move my home folder to it. What's the best way to do this? [17:46] bur[n]er, but that's the thing... when i go to "Network" it doesn't show my local network nor the computers in it... why could that be happening [17:47] Learning_Ubuntu: bummer... i'd try help.ubuntu.com or even ask a question in launchpad.net [17:47] bullgard4, ~/.recently-used [17:48] I have the question already on ubuntuforums but no replies yet , but thanks bur[n]er [17:48] ls [17:49] hi... anyone here who get working ati drivers 8.42.3? [17:49] bullgard4, we can prove this by contradiction. If the place where recently used is stored isn't in .recently-used then removing .recently-used will not have any effect on the menu. Now remove .recently-used and let us see. [17:49] hello, is there an easy way to make a mounted disk appear under the "Computer" icon [17:50] bur[n]er, but that's the thing... when i go to "Network" it doesn't show my local network nor the computers in it... why could that be happening [17:50] hey guys ive got a tv tuner card...but i dont know how i can watch tv in ubuntu [17:50] alberto: got me, i never use it ;) [17:51] alberto: you see "windows network" ?

[18:06] Falstius: dia or the ancient xfig ;) [18:06] at least wobbly windows is about as resource intensive as it gets... wobbly windows are the higher level visualizations [18:06] im having trouble with Wine and sound not working and i read somewhere to get rid of anything that uses the sound can i safely remove gnome volume control? [18:06] Falstius: check out cad programs? [18:06] bur[n]er: Not the desktop effects that was in ubuntu when i installd it. There was two of them i think..

Thx for your help [18:14] anyway, back to the problem, why is it saying my C compiler cannot make executables? [18:14] DrCurl, sorry, I don't know. I haven't had that problem as of yet [18:14] brandon: sudo aptitude install build-essential [18:14] brandon: because you don't have a build environment setup. [18:14] Gastro: this is gutsy? weird [18:14] Hello, is there a documentation for the several compiz plugins ? [18:15] Howdy. When I go to a page that would use the mplayer plugin, Firefox asks me to install the plugin. I go through the installer, but then Firefox tells me that mplayer is already installed, and that I must restart! I've restarted Firefox and rebooted my PC several times, with no the same result. Synaptic tells me that mplayer is installed correctly. Does anybody know how to get the mplayer plugin working?

[18:15] balanceofcowards: I plan to, but I lost my CD [18:15] brandon: you cannot compile, because no compiler is installed by default [18:15] bur[n]er: so is there a way to get past the yaboot stage on my firewire?

[18:18] balanceofcowards: yeah, on dialup [18:18] >_< [18:18] todsah: I thought it might be, but the other computers on the network seem fast and it seems as slow when I type in an IP [18:18] that would take a while [18:18] brandon: granted, that sucks - better get a new cd then [18:19] E: Couldn't find package build-essentials [18:19] brandon: its build-essential [18:19] Anyone aroudn that's really good at configuring dual displays using two different video cards (both nVidia 8600 GT) [18:19] I am trying to figure out why in my dmesg I have all these logs: " [18:19] REJECTING w access to /var/log/ntpstats [18:19] /peerstats [18:19] drgeb: permissions [18:20] Quick question about Bug Reporting procedures.

[18:20] RB2: as an upstream provider, I prefer it if people report bugs to me directly too.

From what I've read, it could be related to some video options in /etc/default/acpi-support ... most users claimed to have this problem because of compiz. I do not have compiz enabled. My machine is a compaq evo n620c with ati radeon mobility 7500 if that matters. Anyone can shed some ligh [18:24] t on this?

It was showing up as 192.168.1.1 before I changed it [18:27] Martha-> ethernet cable? or wifi? [18:27] fyrestrtr: Will the network tool change that? [18:27] lucio, what do you need help with? [18:27] does anyone know where pidgin stores its icon? [18:27] bulmer: yeah, I loaded all the modules in the netfilter dir, just to be sure :) [18:27] bulmer: wifi [18:27] todsah-> type lsmod |grep ip does iptables shows up on the list? [18:27] fyrestrtr: And then? [18:28] I am having /home/user/.dmrc problems with permissions.. everytime I login it keeps telling me that .dmrc has to have 644 permissions and be owned by my user, and that my /home/user must be owned by me and no other user... I keep putting the right commands I think, but it keeps giving me the prompt every login.. here's what I'm doing: http://pastebin.ca/760030 [18:28] jewbilee, pidgin is under internet applications. What are you trying to do with it? [18:28] bulmer: ip_tables shows up. [18:28] Martha-> iwconfig and whats the result? [18:28] genefitz: i want to know where in the file system are the sources for its icons [18:28] hello, I have this weird issue, I try starting an app like for example gnome-terminal and it starts after 20sec or so ! any idea how to debug this ? [18:28] i would like to use one its icons in AWN but i dont know the source location [18:28] NMajik: yes. [18:28] jewbilee: search under /usr or /usr/local === CurseD-Lover is now known as Kaka [18:29] bobgill: # [18:29] todsah-> thats odd that you cant add a single rule [18:29] Thunderman: then edit your dns [18:29] bulmer: yeah. And it also won't change the default chain policies. [18:29] ? [18:29] bobgill: do you understand what 'sudo chmod -R 700 /home/bobby' does? [18:29] todsah-> reboot and see if things get corrected [18:29] bulmer: it's like it ignores everything I throw at it. [18:29] using search always returns nothing for me [18:29] bulmer: hm. k. [18:29] jrib: not quite... I went by a thread on ubuntuforums [18:30] bulmer: I did mostly strip a desktop ubuntu of all things desktopy, maybe that's the problem. [18:30] jewbilee: /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin [18:30] bobgill: it bascially screws up all of your permissions since it sets every single file in your home to have 700 permissions (and bascially undoes the 644 you gave to .dmrc before) [18:30] bulmer: I just think that the problem is that it says "Network name (ESSID)" but as far as I know my Natwork name should be something with (SSID), however i'm not sure if that matters or not [18:30] thanks balance [18:30] anyone? resume from suspend working in gutsy????

[18:31] Martha-> what is the name of your AP essid? maybe you are detecting a neighbors? [18:32] bobgill: do not run commands you do not understand. You cannot really undo this since you can't determine what the permissions were before. Run the 'chmod 644 /home/bobby/.dmrc' again and you should at least be able to login [18:32] !paste [18:32] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[18:33] bulmer: Mmm, an untrustworthy firewall. shit :-P Well, thanks for the help anyway! [18:34] Martha: access point [18:34] alright, anyone know anything about True Crypt on Gutsy? [18:34] fyrestrtr: Perfect... Thank you.... [18:34] Martha-> access point, have you also at least google for some tutorials on wireless or you expect us to tell you everything? [18:35] www.tvgids.nl [18:35] todsah-> what the heck are you talking about? you dislike what i told you? [18:35] whoops, wrong screen, my bad. [18:35] commo, have you checked http://www.truecrypt.org/ [18:35] jrib: but in that post it says "chmod 644 .dmrc" then "chmod 755 /home/user" a couple lines after... wouldn't that be the mistake I made? Doing 644 then 755, nullifying the 644 just set or am I misunderstanding the post (again http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3420654&postcount=7) [18:35] bulmer: well i though it would be easy, i'm just realizing that it isn't, i'll search for some tutorial [18:36] genefitz: I have, used the documentation..but not getting past my stumbling block [18:36] commo, truecrypt works nice with gutsy.. you can also check out forcefield as a gnome gui for it. [18:36] hello all [18:36] I need some help to play my midi files with ubuntu [18:36] What stumbling block are you having? [18:36] bobgill: that's fine. The problem with your original attempt was the *recursive* chmod [18:36] Martha is not really that difficult, but you got to have some basic knowhow of what you wanted done [18:36] jrib: got it:) thanks very much [18:36] brb [18:37] yuhuuu [18:37] steji eji it's here! [18:37] installed and volume created just fine. Make the directory to mount the tc volume. But when I go to mount it , I get CANNOT OPEN VOLUME: NO SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY [18:37] yet the volume and directory do exist [18:37] bulmer: Nope, nothing you said. Just pointing out that it's too bad we probably won't figure out what the problem was. Guess I just got to hope it won't happen again. [18:38] When i first start ubuntu the login screen resolution is set way too high for my monitor. How do I change this? [18:38] I have this weird issue, I try starting an app like for example gnome-terminal and it starts after 20sec or so ! any idea how to debug this ? [18:38] todsah yeah sometimes things happens that we dont have the explanations [18:38] commo, searching up the issue now. [18:39] docgnome, does the problem continue after you've logged in? [18:39] genefitz- thanks...I have been all over looking for an answer here...followed some advice on multiple forums, but no luck [18:39] mixandgo: try seeying what happens when you run the program through strace. [18:39] I have a server problem [18:40] I need help, is there anyway I can use the su command because I can't install this thing with the sudo command [18:40] m1k3: sudo bash? [18:40] m1k3: sudo su [18:40] commo, I have a step by step using debian. It should work for Ubuntu as well. Would you like the link? [18:40] when I access my server using the public IP it's REALLY slow somethimes [18:40] how do I change the default display resolution that X uses? [18:40] Thank you "sudo bash" worked [18:40] genefitz, that would be wonderful!

[18:43] to instlal and make it [18:43] at iwconfig it says "not ready" does that mean that there is no driver or that there is a driver but turned off or something else? [18:44] m1k3-> learn to respond with a prefix nick to the person you're responding to or it will be missed [18:44] bulmer: It's using a different SDK to make it and install it [18:44] maximus, what do you mean it isn't working?

Installed fine, creates the encrypted volume fine, creates the directory fine. But when I use the command that appears in both of the sites to mount it, I get that error [18:45] bulmer: was that it?

Im runing ubuntu 7.10 under virtual machine 2007 and need to get shared folders working so I can connect to the internet, install compiz-fusion, et-cetera.

It is that the debian package management setup doesn't have the ability to group packages, so ubuntu hackishly creates these fake packages that it loads down with dependencies. Aptitude actually treats them like dependencies and removes them when they aren't needed but they aren't truly dependencies, just a hackish way to group packages. It is the package fault, but you have to deal with [20:10] it so aptitude is bad until the package standard gets fixed. [20:10] I just installed a fresh copy of Gutsy. I choose ubuntu 7.10 in Grub, then it goes to a black screen and then nothing happens. I can get in thru recovery mode, but i'd like to get default mode working [20:11] bruenig, thats a pretty solid explanation too. Care if I quote you? [20:11] bluefox83, why the noatime? [20:11] sidlet, I don't care [20:11] Ty [20:12] buntu-nub: not sure, taking that out now.. [20:12] oi [20:12] anyone know how to enable shared folders using ubuntu 7.10 and virutal pc 2007?

[20:12] bluefox83, yup [20:12] hello, does anyone know if the standard ubuntu installer for 7.10 incude the ability to encrypt a filesystem or do I have to get the `alternat-install' iso?

[20:14] it really depends, my lappy is pretty crappy, so I dunno [20:14] does anyone know why Ubuntu puts .Trash files all over the place and how I'm supposed to empty them? [20:14] usually it does that and I use fsck through recovery mode [20:14] but it could be different for you [20:14] underwatercow, that is controlled by nautilus I think [20:14] EdBoy; k, i'll tinker with it. thanks [20:15] Well, you guys are no help...I'll try to figure out my USB Flash drive problem all by myself... :( [20:15] Is the airprime module available in gutsy, or has that functonality been rolled into usbserial now?

You can delete them through the terminal for now. [20:16] see, I don't use nautilus [20:16] underwatercow, don't know, just don't use nautilus maybe? I tend to do file management from cli because I find it is quicker, I use thunar from time to time which is the default xfce file manager and it doesn't do that [20:16] ya [20:17] Pici: thanks, I've been either doing that or navigating to it through nautilus and deleting... it's just annoying...

[20:18] If I try to load rt2500pci dmesg returns wlan0 link is not ready [20:18] underwatercow, oh nevermind I get it because /tmp has its own filesystem and is in fstab, that must be why it does that [20:19] bruenig: could be...

[21:19] i am downloading ultimatebootcd as was the suggestion before.. but i still want to avoid reformating the whole drive [21:19] jimmacdonald, do you have the nvidia drivers installed? [21:19] RealUbuntuAdvice, OK. Go on. [21:20] bastid_raZor: yes [21:20] python_user: sorry to bother you, but when I run lsusb, I get nothing. that never happened on 7.04 [21:20] racarter, you have an entry for vista in your grub menu? at what point does it fail? [21:20] where do I go to speed up mouse scrolling? [21:20] For the past four months I have been using Ubuntu Linux. Being a previous Debian user, I thought the switch would be simple. It wasn't. [21:20] Anyone knows where I could find the name of the sound card that Ubuntu uses? [21:20] kbrooks: what do you mean it will still work? I'm trying ot install the distro? [21:20] um.. i get the loading screen from vista and it just stays there [21:20] Lr5_: cat /proc/asound/cards [21:20] TedStevens: yes i have all things set right, just this volume thing is not working [21:20] can anybody help me with a network problem just installed ubuntu but i have no internet says the decive is there but cant go anywhere [21:20] pm pls thanks [21:20] Unlike Debian, Ubuntu offered no way to switch my window manager to something same like TWM. [21:20] when i try to boot to safe mode i see it just stops when trying to load crcdisk.sys [21:20] RealUbuntuAdvice: we like to keep #ubuntu for support issues only. Your welcomed to join #ubuntu-offtopic for other discussion. If you have a support question please just ask it on one line [21:20] crimsun_: thanks [21:21] compu73rg33k, if it shows /dev/mapper, then it is highly likely that it will still work. [21:21] Can anyone help? [21:21] compu73rg33k, er, nm. [21:21] compu73rg33k, ignore me [21:21] kbrooks, I'm stuck at the partition properties :( [21:21] RealUbuntuAdvice: TWM, look at files in /usr/share/xsessions... [21:21] racarter, hmm, sounds like grub's done it's job then, i'm afraid i don't know anything about vista =( [21:21] RealUbuntuAdvice just install the others you want. They will be listed in the KDM/GDM session menus [21:22] Hi all. [21:22] apparently toshiba and microsoft dont know anything about vista either :) [21:22] RealUbuntuAdvice: twm is in the repositories. [21:22] your computer may have a key combo to hide the display. [21:22] jimmacdonald, two step process.. first get into a virtual shell by alt+ctrl+f1 then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg .. after that runs and you have one monitor set up. restart X. then in a terminal run nvidia-settings and set the 2nd monitor up as twinview [21:22] hi [21:22] I need some help with the setup of an SNMP server [21:22] racarter: ? [21:22] my pc has a realteck network adapter on the mainboard. any help why it wont connect? [21:22] I have an UPS on ttyS0 [21:22] i already google e read the ubuntu tutorials and nothing [21:22] DrakeJustice_: ? [21:22] jimmacdonald, restart X one last time and you are done. [21:22] is there a microsoft room in freenode? [21:22] racarter: only thing i can think is that perhaps something's got destroyed if you've resized that partition [21:22] racarter: y thoshiba and ms don't kno bout vista?? [21:23] and I somehow want to connect that to an SNMP server [21:23] DrakeJustice: i called there tech support [21:23] maximus, I guess you haven't looked the man? [21:23] i want to speed up scrolling for my mouse... it seems like a trivial thing to do, but i can't find it. where do i go? [21:23] is it normal, when adding KDE to Ubuntu (using the synaptic package manager) for KDE to add a whole bunch of icons to the gnome menu? Is there a way to stop if from doing that? I wanted to keep them separate [21:23] racarter: ##windows supports windows [21:23] racarter: what did they say? [21:23] is there a way to open up a terminal that starts in the directory i'm currently viewing with file browser? === RealUbuntuAdvice is now known as NappyNitrous [21:23] toshiba said call ms, and then it was funny cause ms then had a conference call with toshiba [21:23] could anyone advise me how to work out where java is located within my fhs? i have tried locate etc and found many entries but i am not sure which one will be the actual java implementation that tomcat wants me to define as a variable? [21:23] but it hard to understand how anyone uses a tray system in SO [21:23] the ms support dude was trying to slowly repeat the problem to the toshiba rep [21:23] This is a good name for Ubuntu. [21:23] Hey guys -- it looks like ALSA is playing sound through the wrong sound card. Normally I'd use alsaconf to fix this, but ubuntu doesn't have alsaconf. How else can I switch it? [21:23] the dbus socket doesn't exist, so gnome-settings-daemon doesn't start [21:23] any ideas [21:24] racarter: wuz the problem vista? [21:24] Powhatanbob: install nautilus-open-terminal [21:24] maximus, I just installed alltray, nice program ^^ [21:24] i dont know, toshiba wants me to bring the laptop to a service center [21:24] thank you jrib [21:24] Look at the number of users [21:24] chuy max my problem is how to use [21:24] anyone know anything about the KiB units [21:24] racarter: what is the problem? [21:24] ms wants me to format the drive.. but i cant do it with their boot disk since it doesnt start [21:24] can't seem to get rid of them in Conky [21:24] I've a problem whit burning dvd whit notebook (asus a6jm). If i burn dvd whit original s.o. (win xp home), i can write at 8x but whit another s.o. i can burn at 4x max: I select 8x but the real velocity is 4x. Who can help me? [21:24] hi guys, i have a few quastions [21:25] i dont know but most likely it has to do with the way i paritioned the drive [21:25] maximus, I just told you, manual clearly explains how to do it, just launch app, and select a window [21:25] paulistall: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibyte what do you want to do about them? [21:25] i did it with 5.01 version of knoppix === NappyNitrous is now known as DrunkenDrake [21:25] jrib: I can't get rid of them [21:25] i didnt know vista had its own tools to resize at the time [21:25] paulistall, 1KiB = 1024b [21:25] -- Ubuntu at 11 [21:25] racarter: so? that knoppix version uses the same mkfs.ext3 command as ubuntu? [21:25] paulistall: why do you want to get rid of them? [21:25] yeah I know [21:25] DrakeJustice_: I dont know [21:25] jrib: I want it to display as KB in conky === DrunkenDrake is now known as HairyHobo [21:25] racarter: can u re-partition? [21:26] chuy but how i choose the window i alread clicked in the window and noting happen [21:26] jrib: but it is automatically filling in KiB [21:26] i probably could.. how should the new parition look? what changes should i make? [21:26] how can i activate the '4-desktops' interface?? [21:26] Is it safe to remove the .deb files from /var/cache/pbuilder/result ? [21:26] jrib: small thing I know I just think its a stupid looking unit [21:26] maximus, bring the window to the front, launch alltray and select the window [21:26] elli: Buy three more monitors. [21:26] hahahaha'' [21:26] Or you could just RTFM. [21:26] racarter: imagine breaking up a candy bar... execpt it's a hard-drive... lol... 1gb swap, x-gb etx3, and x-gb ntfs (windows) [21:26] !rtfm elli [21:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about rtfm elli - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:27] Simple question... whats a cheap sound card you guys recommend for ubuntu?

I'm a total newb to Linux, and I tried Gutsy because I heard the xorg config was automatic. But the slightest change to my settings changed everything to VESA.
