[00:00] jrib, sudo as is worked fine thanks, i was afraid that the file i save will be owned by root but it seems not [00:00] Pelo, hehe, it is a chinese made one called Hasee [00:00] thanks [00:00] dreamcoder, xine doesn't need plugins as far as I now ,but [00:00] Pelo, but thanks for your help [00:00] !dvd | dreamcoder [00:00] dreamcoder: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [00:00] liking kubuntu by the wat :) [00:00] way* [00:01] Hi. Do I need to manually load a kernel module for Feisty to recognise my USB bluetooth dongle? [00:01] what if i dont use totem? [00:01] if im using ifo to read ext3 in windows anyway, is there any reason to use FAT for drives i want to share data between [00:01] dreamcoder, just the dvd stuff should do then , I don't think xine uses gstreamer [00:01] okie thanks [00:02] nonewmsgs, I don'T think ifo is good for writing to ext3 if you only need to read you probably don't need a fat partitiion, ubuntu can read/write ntfs [00:03] Hi. hci_usb is loaded and my bluetooth dongle turns on, but it doesn't work. Where can I find out more? [00:03] pelo i have one weird ntfs partition that wont mount [00:03] bosworth, www.ubuntuforums.org [00:03] nonewmsgs, did you use ntfs-config ?

[00:04] bosworth, just do a search for your bluetooth device , that should bring up any info available [00:05] anyone knows why my keyboard doesnt respond when im in the login screen?

[00:10] Pelo, lol [00:10] linxuz3r, try asking in #openoffice.org [00:10] Pelo: perhaps a goat to sacrifice would be helpful also. [00:10] Pelo, during a "do this to compile your own kernel" tutorial, they told me to rm -rf linux.... I didn't realize that this follows the symlink and kills that too, so my kernel headers are gone [00:10] can someone help out with installing kiba-dock? [00:10] buenas! [00:10] una preguntita [00:11] como puedo saberla ruta correcta donde tengo instalado grub?

[00:13] k [00:14] squee, thanks. [00:14] sure: I have an ati card (it's the only card my compy boots with...?), well, I'm stuck in 640*320 (yes 320, not even 480) [00:14] Pelo, ha, you clearly don't have the driver problems i have then. a reinstall would restart the miserable "how did I get this to work?" all over again [00:14] ubuntu, is ubuntu actualy installed or are you running the live cd ? [00:14] hi [00:15] live cd at the moment, but it does the same thing with the installed version [00:15] If I have a HP drive on my computer how do I install the newest driver from HP? -new to UBUNTU- [00:15] i have a question, if I want to know where is the grub's installation path, where should i search? in the grub's list, in root= there is a lot of characters in hex. instead of a path :S [00:15] It's a cd rom drive. [00:15] i was hoping to swap graphics cards, but it will only book with the ati one, which confuses the heck out of me [00:15] ubuntu, ok boot the installed version, then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if you don't see your card listed , use the vesa driver [00:16] hey - anyone know why gimp is still the 2.4 RC version?

I am wondering if you can help me. I have installed compiz manager and have selected the type of effects I would like but nothing happens. No changes are made. [00:17] (sorry about the multi line things, getting use still to not doing that). And whn I say won't boot, i mean the bios doesn't even show its information and when i put the ati card in, it says that it has had a few failed attemps (it := bios) [00:18] EGO_ESION, better ask in #compiz-fusion === cwill747_ is now known as edmund [00:18] hmm [00:18] cidwel: grub is installed in /boot/grub [00:18] ill need to download an burn it at work tomorrow then [00:18] ubuntu, that's pretty much all I can do for you , try the dpkg-reconfigure thing I suggested earlier [00:18] Okay thanks! === Phenom is now known as Injen [00:19] is teh alternate (text based) install much different from other distros?

[00:44] HvyMetal, virtualization will allow you run an OS within an OS, but not an OS that is installed on the hard drive, you would have to install it into the virtual machine [00:44] !vm > HvyMetal [00:44] !vm [00:44] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu or !qvm86), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [00:44] !Virtualbox > HvyMetal [00:45] !VirualBox | HvyMetal [00:45] Sorry, I don't know anything about virualbox - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:45] Xen is great, althogh it uses different approach [00:45] !Xen [00:45] XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation.

No way around it. Maybe file a bug or wishlist in launchpad for that package. Or maybe there is a simple fix I don't know about.

[01:11] like i dont know what to write in command lines by myself [01:11] skagen: it's in the system menu in ubuntu... you can find it there... [01:11] but if you told me what to do, i can do it [01:11] skagen: if not, you can force it in Xorg.conf [01:11] skagen: System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution? [01:11] lammas [01:11] thinman1189, I assume you can since you "imported" them. You probably copied them over. But don't trust me on this since I've never done that. What is Windows? [01:11] Zaborg: Llamas. [01:11] telnet 139 [01:11] make sure the stupid windows firewall isnt on [01:12] hello, i'm very new to linux [01:12] and the ethernet is plugged into the dell, running XP [01:12] I've recently upgraded to ubuntu 7.10 I get this message that says feature only available with hal [01:12] which is how im on IRC [01:12] SirTanl: Hallo [01:12] i downloaded and unpacked a program i am trying to install, but after that i'm all but lost [01:12] hi @ all [01:12] when I access a cd [01:12] i have already tried the : System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution but it only shows up to 800x600 [01:12] anyone there? [01:12] Tortik: ah... in this case, you do have to make sure that the internet is plugged in for testing ;) [01:12] SirTanl: have you tried apt-get? [01:12] Tortik: but in short... [01:12] well, when thats plugged in, i cant be on IRC [01:12] could someone help me with a partitioning question?:/ [01:12] eZek0: i have no idea what that is [01:12] when i was using winxp i can use 1024x768 [01:12] I've recently upgraded to ubuntu 7.10 I get this message that says feature only available with hal [01:12] !packages > SirTan1 [01:13] s00p , no luck [01:13] vocx, lol. if you go to dual boot it gives you the option to import windows files and settings for certain programs. i'm trying to replace windows with ubuntu and save time by doing that as well. [01:13] I was going to ask something else, but I have a better question [01:13] the files i see are CHANGELOG, gpl.txt, Makefile, nrg2iso.c [01:13] Tortik: If ubuntu is trying to get an IP address... you'll see it by the orbs turning green in the "system tray" [01:13] how to force it on xorg.conf? [01:13] why is my cursor missing?

[01:13] but when i use the routher, the XP machine cant recognize it [01:13] see? [01:13] SirTanl: look at queries please.. [01:13] apt get doesnt work [01:13] i have no idea what that means [01:13] you cannot telnet to port 139 of the windows comp? [01:13] all i want to do is install a program [01:13] Tortik: it detected the cable... but if a minute passes and it seems to succeed, but you can't get internet... there might be a problem with your internet.... [01:13] it's so much easier with xp :/ [01:14] how to force it on xorg.conf?

[01:16] SirTan1: fine: sudo apt-get install nrg2iso in a terminal. [01:16] so ill logg off for a bit [01:16] looks like your xp comp is firewalled [01:16] But I can't move the unallocated space or move the ext3 with gparted :/ [01:16] and blocking netbios [01:16] Tortik: cya soon [01:16] Pici: thanks [01:16] all i was looking for [01:16] SirTan1: But I strongly suggest that you learn about the software repositories in the future. [01:16] empath1999: sorry, I meant download the gparted live cd [01:16] s00p tnx i check [01:17] ok [01:17] that's the same one on the ubuntu live cd fluff?

[01:26] nathan: System Monitor [01:27] ToddEDM: taking control from the BIOS might fry the machine if you don't actively take care of the fan yourself [01:27] mimithebrain: my laptop seems to run hot [01:27] vocx, as of this monent there is no ~/.bashrc ... [01:27] nathan: System -> Administration -> System Monitor [01:27] ToddEDM: you want to override the fan to maximum I suppose? [01:27] folks! i had xchat gnome installed previously. it didnt leave a colorful icon like the regulat xchat did [01:27] yeah mimithebrain [01:28] ToddEDM: here's an emergency trick: "echo 5 > /proc/acpi/sleep" This will "unplug" the machine [01:28] i just uninstalled the gnome version and installed the regualr xchat, but my gnove version is still listed in the internet catagor [01:28] hmm [01:28] how do i remove it completly [01:28] its installed but ./configure still cant find it [01:28] ToddEDM: I mean, shutdown in a split second... useful in case of extrem emergency where 5 seconds is too long. [01:28] ToddEDM: if you can type that fast.... [01:28] vocx, and in /etc all i have is bash_completion.d [01:28] deathstar, thats for me? [01:28] ahhh nice trick [01:28] gavi: Try right clicking on the menu bars, and then click edit menus [01:28] no gavi [01:28] What program could I use to record my actions on the desktop? Like in a video format [01:28] ToddEDM: I use it when I need to gtfo :) [01:28] mimithebrain: i will prolly not remember it that fast [01:29] I installed gutsy last night and then changed /home to my seperate /home partition that was from my Dapper install. When I try to open a document (odt with Oo) I get the error message listed in pastebin. Can anyone tell me why or how to fix? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43198/ [01:29] ezek0 [01:29] How do I edit the menus in gnome? [01:29] i unchecked the ugly one [01:29] gavi [01:29] bastid_raZor, then create one. The files in /etc/ are system wide, and they should call the one in your home directory. You should have at least one, maybe /etc/profile. [01:29] ToddEDM: /proc (process) acpi (well, what it is) sleep (2, sleep, 3 suspend, 4 hibernate, 5, kill) [01:29] !enter | gavi [01:29] gavi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!

[01:29] nah [01:29] it says some info [01:30] Applications> Accessories > Alacarte Menu Editor <-- not in the default install, but thanks, I'll install it [01:30] its gone from the applications menu, but its unchecked from the edit menu, can i remove it completly... sorry about the doble postings. this keyboard is crap [01:30] Does it mention anything about DHCPACK? [01:30] siocsifflags; permission denied [01:30] >.< [01:30] Lunar_Lamp: right click on the ubuntu icon and click "edit menu" [01:30] nothing about that [01:30] ahh i right clicked it and delete [01:30] Tortik: ok, do "sudo -s" before all that [01:30] ph wow [01:30] oh [01:30] vocx, would it be a bad idea to simple copy my bash.bashrc to ~/.bashrc ? would that have adverse effects .. when i did the upgrade *(i'm on a fresh install of 7.10 now)* it asked if i wanted to keep my old bash [01:31] gavi: removing it completely? You could go into the Synaptic Package Manager and mark it for complete removal.. [01:31] kwait [01:31] I explain: [01:31] Tortik__, it gives you root access [01:31] is it still installed on my system?..... synaptic package manager?? wheres that [01:31] gave: ALT+F2 -> gksudo synaptic [01:31] I keep getting ipw2100: eth1: Failed to start the card. [01:32] fluffman: RFKILL is on? [01:32] gavi: System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager; and, if you're addressing someone, please put their name in your response/question [01:32] erm i did a sudo lspci -nnvv and the info that that command gave me didnt fit the terminal..i wanted to place it in the pastebin and that way i cant [01:32] mimithebrain: what's that? [01:32] fluffman: the switch for wifi :) [01:32] says something about /sbin/ifcongif cannot execute binarys [01:32] mimithebrain thanks [01:32] yeah, it happens whethere the switch is on or off, mimithebrain [01:33] ezek0 ur way works 2 thanks [01:33] i am same problems [01:33] Scunizi: in your /home dir there should be a folder called .ooo-2.0/user, now you're gonna want tod elete something in there, but i dont know what [01:33] gavi: Glad I can be of help [01:33] fluffman: my best suggestion is to check dmesg for more information... otherwise, recompile the driver yourself... that's what I do when I get those errors and it fixes it 80% of the time [01:33] i m having some problems with alltray! someone can help me? [01:34] bastid_raZor, funny thing... I haven't upgraded. I would search for something related in the forums. If you can understand a little shell script you'll know what it does, basically calling other scripts. [01:34] ezek0 last question for now! i cannot find it here. does this mean its not installed? [01:34] MidnighToker, ok.. but if I do then go back to the dapper install, will I have conflicts there as well? [01:34] how do I recompile when I can't boot :/ [01:34] it was working earlier today [01:34] and still works in the live CD [01:34] what is the easiest way to get restricted codecs/flash/java for an intel laptop? === Tortik__ is now known as Tortik [01:35] gavi: You should be able to find xchat-gnome in the repos..

[01:41] skagen: change your color depth from 24 to 16 [01:41] Richieboy: so you haven't installed yet? maby you have to fix the boot settings in the bios [01:41] gavi: You can set the root password.. I don't remember exactly how, you could do a quick google search and find it easily [01:41] EminX: ask your question, don't ask for generic help [01:41] but then again I'm so used to the Fedora UI, that a sudden switch to debin is torture [01:41] So I just installed Gutsy and any AUDIO that comes out of my speakers seems to be automatically downsampled to 8kHz and it sounds awful [01:41] yea im sure, i dont knwo if i want to yet. its kinda annoying typing in a password for everything [01:41] gavi: I haven't tried any other distro as of yet [01:41] No, it starts the install if you know what i mean! it starts booting the disk === monkey_ is now known as excessluggage [01:41] xIke_, you most definitely shouldn't. if you're still stuck on your kernel problem - i'm sorry, i don't really know what to try, but i *assure* you that touching the database manually should really, really be the last attempt to make. [01:41] but if im gona have security, my admin should have a pswrd [01:41] gavi: it's better than being insecure [01:42] i select Install / Boot CD [01:42] how do i save it? [01:42] then it goes black [01:42] if u havent tried any others, than how do u know its userfrieldnly lol [01:42] it said that i dont have permission [01:42] anybody here uses ubuntu on ps3?

[01:42] ok typing [01:42] i've got another Q: how do i get system monitor to show up both CPU cores ? [01:42] gavi: I've read up on them before I chose one. I was tired of Windows and decided to put in a dual boot. [01:42] in different grids [01:42] MidnighToker, the directory you mentioned has lots of things in it including spell check, dictionary etc. so I'm reluctant to delete it.. I did say "yes" to the error and it now seems to work.. [fingers crossed] [01:42] emja: I selected Albanian to English and when I wrote a word it doesn't display any translate [01:43] does anyone have any problems running frostwire under gutsy? [01:43] LjL, I know that if simply make it forget about the kernel install .deb all will be well [01:43] vocx, i see in /etc/profile how it references to bash.bashrc in /etc .. but i'm not seeing the file to compare [01:43] yea im tired of windows 2... [01:43] Scunizi: it would get re-created if it doesn't exist [01:43] its an adventure here with the linux.. ya know? [01:43] xIke_: i doubt it. [01:43] gavi: pretty much :P [01:43] gavi: windows 2? you're in the stone age.. [01:43] Can someone please tell me how I can adda "sticky" button to gnome windows?

[01:44] vocx, cool. [01:44] HOW TO PUT ALLTRAY WORKING? [01:44] gavi: probably, that just means that you have the disks [01:44] gavi: i don't think macromedia existed when windows 2 was out [01:44] excesslug: whar function does "sticky" have? [01:44] Question: can somebody help me figure out why all audio (new install of Gutsy) is downsampled to 8kHz? [01:44] Hi anyone know of a way to install joost in gusty? wine does not cut it [01:45] possibly, but theres many products that only run on windows, and i know theres ways to use them with linux but if everything was global, i would have moved to linux years ago [01:45] makes windows sticky so when maximsed for example i can stretch the window [01:46] bastid_raZor, so what's the deal. You do have bash.bashrc in /etc, so problem solved or what? Have you double checked the one in your home folder. Use the terminal to view hidden files like "ls -a" [01:46] How do I turn on direct rendering for my video card, it works just fine in 7.04 but now it says it's off [01:46] gavi: Cyphase was referring to Windows 2.0...

[02:00] Roy911: change the mount point to / [02:00] no one can help me? [02:00] Roy911: you tried to manualy configure table right? [02:00] How? [02:00] Scragar: Uh...no. [02:00] xstat-ar: yes? [02:00] koshari_: thanks [02:00] koshari_: how would i know which /dev/what is my webcam? [02:00] how do I install compiz themes in gutsy? [02:01] operating system not found -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=602064 [02:01] mimithebrain: i need to send an email by the command line, but wiothout interact [02:01] how would i go about upgrading glib? is it hard? [02:01] I made the partition from the Partition editor at System -> Admin -> Partition Editor. [02:01] no more drag and drop in the themes window? [02:01] Roy911: click on the partion you want to install to, edit, put a / in the mount point box [02:01] It's greyed out. [02:01] xstat-ar, don't say "no one can help me?" it is annoying, just repeat the question to the channel. [02:01] xstat-ar: take a look at python and gmaillib in this case. [02:01] ahh I need help, Ubuntu 7.10 keeps freezing on my atleast 3 times a day, I have to use the Alt+SysRq+REISUB just to reboot. I turned off Compiz all together. [02:01] What file system should it be? [02:01] im using an old computer. fugitsu fmv 6000CL .. video card is onboard. but the this is i got it working with winxp 1024x768 [02:01] xstat-ar: requires programming :) [02:01] anyone know how to install compiz themes in gutsy? [02:01] deez: drag and drop should work fine. is the theme in a normal format? [02:02] no extension, but it's a tgz [02:02] I have the file system at linux-swap, what should it be? [02:02] Roy911: personal preference i use reiserfs cause its fast, but any [02:02] here is the conf http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43205/ [02:02] vocx: sorry, you're right... i'm learning how to have a good experience at here... thank you! [02:02] file says it's a compressed tarball [02:02] bastid_raZor, you should run "vimtutor" probably you already knew that [02:02] I'm having some trouble with Gutsy on a new Gateway lappy. I can't get the brightness controls to work, and googling for a few hours did not help much. Its primary video card is an onboard gateway device, but it does have a secondary ATI card, which might be the problem. Can anyone help? [02:02] oh compiz themes. those i am not sure about. i just installed emerald, then changed the .compiztheme[or whatever] extension to .emerald [02:02] anyone have a laptop they want to give me? ;) [02:02] mimithebrain: can i do it with php? [02:02] vocx, i didn't know that. i'll run that now [02:02] I'm running gutsy, and it can't tell when I have headphones or not. I have a snd-hda-intel card. Anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this? [02:03] sgtmattbaker: sure, if you have $200 you want to give me. [02:03] deez menu=>system=>pref=>appearance [02:03] riotkittie: not using compiz themes? what repos do I need to install emerald from synaptic? [02:03] riotkittie: tell me the specs and make it 50 and you got a deal [02:03] koshari: I already tried that, but dragging and dropping does nothing [02:03] vocx, there is no vimtutor [02:03] mimithebrain i remeber that some time ago i could do that without any code lines, it was just the command i belive it was sendmail [02:03] skagen: one second [02:03] it says "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0) [02:03] is there any way I can cross-compile an amd64 kernel module on a x86_32 box? [02:03] deez: just enable universe/multiverse - emerald will be in the standard repos [02:03] hey guys - i have a problem with cedega and cxoffice not appearing in the gnome menus. desktop files are where they are supposed to be [02:03] what should i do [02:04] xstat-ar: ah? I must admit I don't know :| [02:04] sure [02:04] deez: it's in universe [02:04] pwnt what are you trying to do? [02:04] mimithebrain ok, i really don't know, but thought was possible with just a command line [02:04] apt-get install emerald? [02:04] deez: mmhm. [02:04] koshari_: get my webcam to work. [02:04] anyone here ever use aircrack? [02:05] kthx [02:05] does it work? [02:05] wildchild247, yes [02:05] deez, visyual effects tab [02:05] deez: sure or do it through synaptic [02:05] bastid_raZor, so... it is not part of the minimal installation. First install "vim-full" then try again. Or read the description of the different vim packages to know which contains it. [02:05] mimithebrain thank you, i'll try to figure out :-) [02:05] Does anyone know how to contact the Wiki Administrator? [02:05] wildchild247, why would they develop it if it didn't work [02:05] pwnt in what application? [02:05] Im new to linux just wondering if it would be something for me to tackle [02:05] koshari_: I tried everything. [02:05] big in here these days [02:05] skagen: is it possible that the hertz are too high on your monitor? Try changing then in the gnome menu... but besides that... I'm thinking it's a driver issue. [02:05] Operating system not found -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=602064 [02:06] wildchild247: go wild, try it out :) [02:06] Caralho... aqui n é da américa do sul?? [02:06] ubotu, tell xIke_ about rootsudo [02:06] I need help, Ubuntu Gutsy keeps freezing on my atleast 3 times a day, I have to use the Alt+SysRq+REISUB just to reboot. I turned off Compiz altogether. [02:06] koshari_: when i plug it into the usb, it pop something saying "Webcam has been detected" but then it doesn't be able to check the images in it. and then all applications can't find it because it cannot open /dev/video0 [02:06] awww. probably a driver issue. dang.. [02:06] pwnt does it work in egiga? [02:06] !br | Dolgras [02:06] Dolgras: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [02:06] how do you change it on the gnome menu? lets see what happens [02:06] here are the people that are responsible on the shipit ? [02:07] pq esse povo falando em ingles?? [02:07] I am trying it but its all a bit too complicated with all the requirements for installing drivers and patches [02:07] System->Preferences->Screen resolution [02:07] rathel: have you noticed any patterns as to when it tends to freeze? [02:07] DevideZer, no. [02:07] sim! brasil! [02:07] Kamping_Kaiser, I kno what sudo is [02:07] Dolgras, en esto canal solamente falamos inglés, escribe /join #ubuntu-br o /join #ubuntu-pt para falar portugues [02:07] koshari_: no. maybe I need to install driver for the webcam first? [02:07] Hi. Why when i do the 7.10 LiveCD on my powerpc it loads the terminal screen, and then just freezes? [02:07] ow that one.. it only shows 800x600 and 640 [02:07] excessluggage, actually yes, when I switch windows, just a few minutes ago, I click from firefox to totem and it froze. [02:07] the new nvidia drivers caused my system to freeze all the time I just installed the older glx ones now it works like feisty [02:08] I'm having some trouble with Gutsy on a new Gateway lappy. I can't get the brightness controls to work, and googling for a few hours did not help much. Its primary video card is an onboard gateway device, but it does have a secondary ATI card, which might be the problem. Can anyone help? [02:08] vocx , have idea if the are in any irc channel ? [02:08] is this where I was before? [02:08] pwnt it would depend on your webcam, can you look in harware properties and find out the type of cam? [02:08] Djpenguin: Which version of live CD are you using? [02:08] DevideZer, what do you want exactly? [02:08] skagen: My last tought would be to replace the drivers... [02:08] rathel: and if you do the same thing it happens again? [02:08] vocx , to trace my request [02:08] Andrew_M: the ppc kind [02:08] excessluggage, It happens at random times, right now it's not doing it. [02:08] skagen: I can't remember the command that reconfigures xorg to allow you to chose the correct driver and stuff. [02:09] koshari_: it's intel usb wecam [02:09] i tried to google it and im getting no where in getting the drivers [02:09] rathel: what is your wireless card? [02:09] Djpenguin: I didn't know that they were supporting ppc. Where did you download it from? [02:09] rathel: could be a hardware issue, could be graphics related, or could be a random bug. You run any other OSes? [02:09] pwnt, i tried a sonic twinklecam and it just wouldnt work, however my laptops logitec ormicam works out of the box [02:09] skagen: You have an intel card right? It should be fairly supported... [02:09] Operating system not found -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=602064 [02:09] is this the # I was in before? [02:09] how do you choose which video player firefox uses? [02:09] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:09] excessluggage, I switch to XP every once in awhile. [02:10] DevideZer, I think you are being impatient. They'll arrive, just wait a day or two. [02:10] Andrew_M: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/gutsy/release/ [02:10] skagen: I remember an experience where the BIOS was at fault of allowing only 1MB of video ram... and I had to flash it to make it work. [02:10] when it asks for gconf-2.0 should I get gconf or libgconf? [02:10] pwnt you may need to load a module for it, i dont know what module the intel cams use, [02:10] yes an intel card.. but an old one 82815.. if ill use the drivers for winxp and use wine will it work? lol [02:10] vocx , im waiting 15 days usualy the come in 10 days its ok ? [02:10] how do you flash? [02:10] skagen: no, it won't work ;) [02:10] UuID's are static right? [02:11] haha just a thought [02:11] Andrew_M: Neither did I until earlier today. :\ [02:11] codecaine: in firefox go to edit->preferences->Content->Manage (under file types) === Pharaoh is now known as PharaohSD [02:11] skagen: to flash, you need to get the BIOS bin file from the internet, create a floppy, cross your fingers and boot on it, hoping it doesn't brick. [02:11] ty [02:11] codecaine: you can change your program preferences in there [02:11] skagen: I don't recommand it :| [02:11] koshari_: okay. I don't know what to do either [02:11] no go [02:11] Djpenguin: When the spash screen is displayed, is there an option to use a different graphics resolution? [02:11] skagen: try to walk around it as much as possible... I don't think it is your case... [02:11] DevideZer, oh. Didn't know that. ... Either way. Remember that you can download them. [02:12] guys, how do I make my computer look into my webcam, it always say "cannot connect to /dev/video0" [02:12] theme doesn't change when import a .emerald [02:12] !clones > (read the private message from ubotu) [02:12] anyone know why my themes aren't changing when import the .emerald file? [02:12] just for an update, I can't log in graphically so I'm back in OSX now licking my wounds...looking for a more mac-hardware-centric distro [02:12] Andrew_M: It came to the screen that asked me which kernel i wanted to load, then it says loading, displays new blank white screen, and hours later i come back and its still there [02:12] I duno, I'm a kubuntu user but I've never seen a lack of hardware support like that before [02:12] oh well, probably buy a new video card [02:12] haha [02:13] thats an example. on one of the applications. I tried alot of them. http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7129b432 [02:13] Where do I configure arbitrary command on bootup as root? eg; I want to adjust the ownership or permissions of a device [02:13] rathel: if you're not getting the same kind of issues in XP, it's more likely graphics or a bug maybe. Mine used to freeze using "GL Desktop" (can't remember the program name) but was fine using "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" [02:13] innovati_: why don't you try Yellowdog Linux? [02:13] skagen: there you go, make your research before buying tho :O [02:13] koshari: any idea why my themes aren't changing when I import the .emerald file? [02:13] Andrew_M: I'm on intel, not PPC [02:13] deez: after installing emerald did you do a emerald --replace [02:13] deez are you using the emerald manager? [02:14] excessluggage: did not do a --replace [02:14] if i wanted to create a symlink .vimrc -> .vim/.vimrc that command would be? [02:14] koshari: yes, using emerald manager [02:14] deez: that and try again [02:14] Djpenguin: the blank console screen seems to indicate that it's having problems launching the GUI. [02:14] *do [02:14] excessluggage, I guess I could try and install the Restricted Drivers for ATI, but when I do that.. lol Video doesn't play full screen. [02:14] bastid_raZor, man link [02:14] Andrew_M: Yes [02:14] as far as I know YellowDog linux is PPC only? [02:14] Andrew_M: I know that, but i reburned it just now and im wondering which kernel to load from to avoid that [02:15] well, since your here did check some 2nd hand cards.. Gainward Nvidia FX5200 128MB PCI Card will this work for ubuntu? [02:15] Djpenguin: normally, on the Live CD, you get a spash screen with a bunch of different options to launch the CD. One of them is to load low graphics. [02:15] dees excessluggage has the rigt command 4 you [02:15] does anybody know if there's documentation to help me create my own linux distribution based on ubuntu? [02:15] Djpenguin: What kernel options are there? And what's your PPC architecture? [02:15] rathel: hmm odd. mind you I had some issues using ati card - swapped to nvidia and its all good. [02:15] CaptainMorgan man link? wow, didn't know that. It's usually "man ln" [02:15] skagen: most likely yes [02:16] dees the default manager is metacity, and it wont run emerald themes, [02:16] vocx, hmm... ln seems correct [02:16] ok great.. [02:16] thanks man [02:16] Andrew_M: i dont memorize all the options, like by default is "live" and then there is "live-powerpc" and then "live-powerpc64" nad it keeps going [02:16] hey is there a way for you to download the certificate for a enterprise wlan, when i try to connect to my schools wlan it will not let me because it sends out a certificate when you try to connect to it [02:16] is there any way to install tex/latex without downloading 328MB of languages? A package I want depends on it (& I just don't care) [02:16] excessluggage, It's odd I never had issues with the Feisty release. [02:16] vocx, point was - "man ...." <- use the tool :) [02:16] Andrew_M: And what do u mean by architecture [02:16] mucho gracias [02:16] hmmm, is there a ubuntu-devel channel? ;) [02:16] koshari_, Compiz with Metacity is far better because there is more themes. [02:16] Lucifer: yes [02:16] thanks, that's probably where I should be [02:17] Djpenguin: What type of Mac? [02:17] pfein, which? Kile? [02:17] Andrew_M: I'm on a g4 iMac [02:17] rathel: same. But I installed beryl/emerald in a different fashion for feisty. [02:17] vocx: python-epydoc [02:17] need info on how to set default password for keyring (wireless) [02:17] I don't use compiz or any of that. [02:17] Djpenguin: I have a G4 Mac (not a notebook) so I can give it a try and get back to you if I succeed. [02:17] excessluggage, Compiz is already installed in Gutsy. [02:17] skagen:cards rock :) [02:17] vocx: I just want to produce HTML. ;-) [02:18] skagen: nvidia cards rock :) [02:18] Djpenguin: however, I'm currently running Yellowdog linux on it very successfully. [02:18] Andrew_M: okay, but it takes a while to download [02:18] kahrytan: yeah and it cause some issues for me [02:18] is there a program to mange cellphone connected to laptop via USB? in windows I use a samsung program [02:18] manage* [02:18] excessluggage, like? [02:18] <_markt> would somebody here running gutsy please install fluxbox and give me the output of `fluxbox -i'? [02:18] kahrytan i agree as i like clearlooks with gartoon icons [02:18] pfein, it lists tetex-extra as a recommendation not as dependency. [02:18] koshari_, Someday, Emerald themes will catch up in numbers [02:18] kahrytan: random freezes, gnome window top bar disappearing === gioppo is now known as botta [02:19] Andrew_M: I'm not on a notebook either, and can Yellowdog hook up to the original airport card? [02:19] vocx: hmm... when I did `aptitude install python-epydoc`, it wanted to install all those packages... [02:19] how can i get AWN to start automatically with each gnome session? [02:19] does anyone know how to get a certificate from a wlan so u can connect to it? [02:19] excessluggage, top panel? [02:19] <[g2]> where's a good remaster howto for 7.10 ? [02:19] excessluggage, or title bar? === botta is now known as gioppo [02:19] Hegel: add it to System->Preferences->Sessions [02:20] kahrytan i think some of the emerald themes are pretty nice though [02:20] kahrytan: yeah that'll be it: Title Bar [02:20] 7.10 is gutsy, [g2] [02:20] pfein, try "apt-get install" sometimes aptitude really wants to install the recommended packages. Or get the deb and install it with "dpkg -i" [02:20] can anyone help me with the default keyring? its preventing me from connecting to wireless [02:20] google gutsy installation guide [02:20] and then put your comp [02:20] powerpc [02:20] etc. [02:20] <[g2]> Djpenguin: nod, I want to remaster it [02:20] excessluggage, So, install Emerald [02:20] Djpenguin: I don't know if it can hook up to an airport card since I haven't tried wireless on it, but the site says that it works. [02:20] kahrytan: why are you telling me to install emerald? [02:20] is there a program to manage cellphone connected to laptop via USB? in windows I use a samsung program [02:21] hey everyone, is it possible to remove the main nautilus toolbar? === cory is now known as CineScope [02:21] vocx: I needed --without-recommends [02:21] excessluggage, If you got problems with using Compiz with Metacity then try it with Emerald [02:21] pfein, cheers [02:21] thx [02:21] <_markt> what? [02:21] Andrew_M well i can do it all with ubuntu and i like the format etc., but if it has enough problems il consider it. Is it open source freeware? [02:21] <_markt> you can't use compiz with metacity [02:21] thanks excessluggage, let's try it out :) [02:21] _markt, pm? [02:21] <_markt> CaptainMorgan: sure [02:21] powertop asks me to do this set the power_save=1 as module parameter [02:21] how do I do it? [02:21] kahrytan: I don't. I had some issues using the default settings. Im running emerald atm [02:22] sainzeo: Yes, click on View in the Nautilus menu and uncheck the "Main Toolbar" option. [02:22] markt yoes you can [02:22] excessluggage, Oh. and that fixed it? [02:22] what is metacity?

Have down three burns, all three check out OK, md5's match, etc [02:30] down=done [02:31] can you boot from a DMG? [02:31] innovati_: Yes burn it to a CD or DVD [02:31] ToddEDM, also visit the forum.

I boot from the CD, get the Start/Install boot options menu, select start/install and let it go...loads for about 5 minutes then throws the fd0 error [02:33] innovati_: Burn it to a CD, then turn off your computer, turn it on holding the alt key, and select the CD [02:33] awesome [02:33] what if I place a DMG on a blank partition? [02:33] TMM, the real question of course is why do you want a 64-bit kernel module if you do not have 64-bit? [02:34] vocx: I can't install the amd64 gutsy on my brand-new shiny server until I get an amd64 kernel module for the raid controller [02:34] innovati_ do you want to install it? [02:34] sure [02:35] vocx: I have the tarball, I even have 32 bit ubuntu running on it now, so it works and stuff... I just can't build an amd64 version of the module... [02:35] hey everyone - is it possible to remove the main panel? [02:35] innovati_ Then what you do is, you run the LiveCD, boot from it, then double click the "install" on your desktop [02:35] when you get to the partition part it will ask you where it wants to install [02:35] sainzeo: what is the main panel [02:36] Complete that and then restart comp once again and hold alt [02:36] right click the panel and click delete? [02:36] excessluggage: the one that starts with the clock and main menu and what not on it [02:36] oh no no, I meant like if I could somehow pre-install to a blank DMG in QEMU and then boot that DMG sitting in a black partition [02:36] then click the new partition you just installed it [02:36] excessluggage: the top one on a default install [02:36] innovati_: no, it doesnt work that way [02:36] poops [02:36] right click the panel and click delete? [02:36] sainzeo: yeah just right click on it and click on "delete this panel" if you want to delete it [02:36] innovati_: It will think it is a CD and not save anything [02:37] oh that's okay [02:37] excessluggage: that panel has "delete this panel" grayed out [02:37] innovati_: You must run the install [02:37] innovati_: The install is not hard [02:37] I've done so and I can no longer boot graphically [02:37] innovati_: Why not? [02:37] vocx: good enough of a reason? ;) [02:37] I've been using linux for 7 years now and I've never seen this bad hardware support in anything [02:37] I really don't see why you'd want to delete the panel with menus and tray icons on it [02:38] Ackdar: because i would like to just use AWN for now [02:38] kind of unsure what to do cause with OSX I feel like my hands are tied because I know the power of linux, yet I can't get it working [02:38] whats the equivalent to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ on freebsd on ubuntu [02:38] innovati_: It is in no way hard.

[02:40] razorbuzz: just googling round atm [02:40] innovati_: You set up the login process during installation, you must get the dmg that supports your hardware tho [02:40] The last expression seems to be left out. [02:40] I've fought with X and bad setups and poor drivers for years, my last kubuntu box I had to manually install nvidia drivers as root from the CLI before I could start GDM to get into KDE......I'm not going to do that anymore [02:40] Appreciate it, excessluggage. I did quite a bit of that, but sometimes it does indeed take a second set of eyes (and second mind!) to find the right key to turn [02:40] are there kubuntu/ubuntu DMG's for my hardware somewhere?

Use google and ubuntu forums [02:45] google hasn't turned anything up but thanks for the help [02:45] hey everbody [02:46] anybody here know anything about formatting hard drives? [02:46] innovati_: Google will always turn something up, just not on the first page. Type in keywords [02:46] that may sound weird but on ubuntu the 1280 resolution makes everything so small and barely readable, and on 1024x768 everything becomes huge :/ [02:47] Bigger font on 1280 :P [02:47] razorbuzz: the only things i can think of are check floppy is disabled in bios, try nofloppy as a boot parameter.

[03:27] nickrud: thanks [03:28] excessluggage: yeah the wired is working [03:28] NemesisD: tell the error messages to remove them, then add them back [03:28] I have a hp VGA webcam EW193AA and I cannot find drivers for it does any body know what chipset this uses ? [03:28] jrib, I followed the instructions for Feisty but java applets do not load in webpages. [03:28] excessluggage: Im on that now.. but the wireless option is just gone in the gui [03:28] jrib, I already have flash properly working [03:28] KurtKraut: so did you get any errors when you followed the page? [03:28] nickrud: i dont want the system to make an automated test after 20 mounts on a specifig test [03:28] I have 2 minutes to get compiz compiled, so please help... it's late, and I have to go to bed [03:28] bloony: if you click on manual configuration, is the wireless listed there? [03:28] need help sound driver on Dell inspiron 1720.. any help will be rly appriciated [03:28] excessluggage, the azureus package in ubuntu was broken because it was badly packaged. But it should work with sun5, sun6, and the new icedtea (sun7). So even if you can use the tarball from azureus page, a proper package should be included in the Ubuntu repositories https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+bug/57875 [03:29] ok [03:29] nickrud: not test... i meant harddisk [03:29] jrib, no... only a brown area where an java applet should be in a web page. [03:29] excessluggage: if I click on the network icon in top right and then manual config the wireless is gone from in there [03:29] Alp`: hrm, not sure I understand what you mean [03:29] excessluggage: hehe no.. didnt see you typed there :) [03:30] vocx: hehe thanks, there was really no need - i've installed from source, was jsut saying to someone looking for a torrent gui that the azureus package was broken [03:30] nickrud: when booting the system it says sometimes: "disk mounted 20 times, check forced". i dont want that on a specific device [03:30] Alp`: you can do something like tune2fs -c 30 /dev/ [03:30] KurtKraut: pastebin 'ls -l /usr/local/firefox32/plugins/' [03:31] jrib, there is no such directory [03:31] excessluggage, if you are still interested you can test the new .deb there and provide feedback as it may be included in gutsy-updates and backports. The fun starts at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+bug/57875/comments/117 [03:31] ok another issue, how can i get filetypes to open with vlc instead of totem? i right click an avi for instance and i go to properties>open with and it won't let me select anything but "movie player" [03:31] vocx: thanks [03:31] nickrud: ok, now i understood it. thanks alot [03:32] KurtKraut: then you did not follow the directions on the page or you received errors [03:32] Ackdar: the way you have to fix that is look at the errors, and figure out the issue: is there a missing library header, bad code, etc (most likely missing library header) [03:32] jrib, this instructions precisely ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins#head-01561afee1dafbb8120703b59a564f2dc161db5d [03:33] KurtKraut: the whole section [03:33] excessluggage, of course this is not only for you, but also to all those that may be reading this. Actually the developer was here at that time, chatting and fixing things, so it was great. [03:33] NemesisD: did you click the radio button itself?

[03:44] awesome [03:44] hrm, I don't have restart/shutdown options anymore...what could make those go away? [03:44] aimee: if bandwidth is not an issue, I'd strongy suggest trying the alternate install cd, http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ down the page [03:44] thanks [03:44] nvidia [03:45] traveller18, so you want to move your /home to a new partition? [03:45] LM22, np [03:45] yes [03:45] traveller18, do you already have a new partition for it? [03:45] ludwig have you tried reconfigure xserver-xorg? [03:45] yep [03:45] ext3? [03:45] yep [03:45] ludwig7667: you'll have to re-install your nvidia drivers afterwards though [03:45] jdong: grep [^:alpha:] displays all folders, [^:alpha:]* brings none, and the one folder, among others that I'm trying to find is Múm [03:45] heck yeah [03:45] ! [03:46] just a sec. i'll make sure it is nvidia again lol [03:46] now if I can just get tremulous working I will get rid of windows for good [03:46] :D [03:46] frusuriai its ext3 [03:46] LM22: tremulous is in the ubuntu repos..

[03:47] Ludwig7667: the restricted drivers are different from the actual nvidia drivers themselves [03:48] oh? i am a newb here :P [03:48] anyone here know how to connect to servers in tremulous mine isn't displaying any on the internet, but I am sure there has to be some somewhere [03:48] Ludwig7667: google Envy and install the debian package for your version of Ubuntu, then run that to install your nvidia drivers [03:48] .... [03:48] Futsuriai well i just want to to do but last time when i tried to update from a previous version it didn't work and i had to reinstall it from a cd so its just in case and for in the future so i can have multiple distros share a home folder [03:48] Ah, [03:48] Ludwig7667: it will automatically configure xorg.conf to use the nvidia driver and install a "somewhat" Windows-style control panel for your card [03:48] Damn, azureus became the slowest crap ever, it's a shame they became another victim of the "internet-tv" plague on the internet, no offense to the devs =( === Oni-Dracula|lapp is now known as Oni-Dracula [03:48] scrap that [03:48] its working now [03:48] jdong: DJ Tiësto is another [03:49] futsuriai, you want the $5 reward via paypal :) [03:49] Is there any... uh, gui or non-gui torrent client with resume-on-shutdown/close and ul/dl limit features? [03:49] Can someone help me figure out what's wrong with my soundcard? I know that's kind of a broad question, but that's about where I am right now... all I can say is, it worked in Win98 and I don't see it in lspci, although it's possible I just don't recognize it [03:49] LM22, haha, nah, it's ok... my paypal is on hold....stupid confirmed address bs [03:49] DARKGuy: Deluge works well with the plugins. [03:49] DARKGuy: Azureus, Deluge, ktorrent [03:49] goat|work: how about ls | grep "[^a-zA-Z0-9\.\-\_]" [03:49] thanks man === Oni-Dracula is now known as Oni-Dracula|lapp [03:49] hey DARKGuy [03:49] DARKGuy: except for the problem i'm having with Deluge right now, i love it [03:49] DisabledDuck: i've been having trouble just generally with torrent clients in gutsy - very very very slow download speed [03:49] peace out guys! thanks for making ubuntu rock! [03:49] goat|work: I bet some regex expert sitting in this channel is now going to smack me for that horrendous expression :D [03:49] DisabledDuck: I've tried ktorrent but I'm trying for something less KDE :p [03:50] compwiz18: hey compwiz :O [03:50] DisabledDuck, i installed it, now what? [03:50] traveller18, I am thinking, [03:50] everytime I come here I feel like I am amongst brothers :D [03:50] DARKGuy: try Deluge, i love it [03:50] peace [03:50] DARKGuy: how about Azureus? [03:50] anyone have any idea why shutdown/restart wouldn't show up in logout window? [03:50] DARKGuy: if oyu have Gutsy, see bug #57875 for working Azureus packaging [03:50] guess I'll try deluge, thanks DisabledDuck, wheredidrealityg [03:50] !compiz [03:50] DARKGuy: I've been working the past 2 weeks on fixing Azureus Ubuntu packaging, and I must say it's a success [03:50] 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 [03:50] traveller18: if you have multiple distributions share a home folder you are asking for trouble [03:50] futsuriai ok, i tried this website address: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ it didn't work that well though [03:50] WindowsSux: get the copy of the driver for windows and type sudo ndisgtk, then install the windows driver for your card [03:50] jdong: it's slow, and it has a crappy tv-media thing which doesn't leave me doubt that it will lag my PC more than it did before :/ [03:50] you know what jdong, its folders with spaces. this worked, thanks ls | grep "[^a-zA-Z0-9\.\-\_\ ]" [03:51] Has anyone else had problems with displayconfig-gtk? [03:51] DARKGuy: I can run two torrents at 8.5MB/s and use only 50MB RAM including Azureu's built in 10MB cache [03:51] Why are there two different files ~/.recently-used and ~/.recentlyused.xbel? [03:51] goat|work: fantastic [03:51] anyone can suggest how to change the resolution? Systems > Perfernces > Screen Resolution, doesnt do anything! [03:51] i'm on the ency site and in add/remove app. i find some a envy24 control app in there. could that be it? [03:51] thanks [03:51] DARKGuy: those are incorrect gneeralizations about Azureus [03:51] Ubuntu question.. Does your linux box have to be into an account before you can remote desktop into it? [03:51] what is the correct channel to ask about compiz and ubuntu? [03:51] speaking of deluge, everytime i run it, it crashes Compiz, does anyone know how to fix this? [03:51] DisabledDuck, what if the driver is in .exe format? [03:51] jdong: it depends on what do you do - I only have 512Mb and I'm running a virtualbox XP machine to handle my windows apps that WINE can't [03:51] jdong: nice one jdong [03:51] Copter: it doesn't do anything? not even pop up an error? [03:51] DARKGuy: The fixed Azureus packaging that I referenced does not use any more resources than any other torrenting application [03:51] cappiz: #desktop-effects [03:51] jdong: plus apache/mysql/php running for some web dev, rhythmbox and gnome with compiz [03:52] Hey if my windows defrag system says my file system is good and that I dont need to defrag, should I still do it ? [03:52] WindowsSux: hmmmmm, they should have just a generic driver for it somewhere [03:52] Gunn: yes [03:52] DARKGuy: it actually has the fastest hash-checking algorithm of all Linux torrent clients currently thanks ot the icedtea7 stack [03:52] gunn i do [03:52] jdong: and I'm already at 485/512Mb with 300Mb in swap :P [03:52] I'd rather not wait hours before installing ubuntu [03:52] bah ok [03:52] Gunn: it shouldn't take long [03:52] jdong: but the one I downloaded from the site has vuze :S [03:52] Ubuntu question.. Does your linux box have to be into an account before you can remote desktop into it? [03:52] cappiz: sorry wrong. [03:52] mm [03:52] :P [03:52] Why is it telling me to insert a CD when i try to burn an image even though there is already one in the drive? [03:52] jdong: does the package has that too? [03:52] DARKGuy: nope [03:52] capgadget, you can ask right here [03:52] traveller18, how come? [03:52] does the icedtea plugin for firefox java in 64bit linux work for anyone? [03:52] FaA||Whiz: No. [03:52] capgadget, oops :-) [03:52] traveller18, i.e. what didn't work? [03:52] cappiz: #compiz-fusion [03:52] DARKGuy: the one I packaged is 2.5.0.4, before all that video store crap :D [03:52] cappiz, you can ask right here too [03:53] compwiz18: it doesn't work very well for me, i just used Automatix to install all my plugins [03:53] futsuriai it didn't move any data over to the partition at least none that i could see, that was the problem [03:53] jdong: SWEET! [03:53] jdong: where can I get it? :D [03:53] Was wondering how to make Ubuntu give group and other read rights when automounting usb drives, someone know the fix? [03:53] traveller18, hm [03:53] Can someone who knows about sound in Gusty help me get it working on a Toshiba laptop? I've done all sorts of searching, to no avail. This is the only problem I've had... someone PM me please! [03:53] i used a repo when using feisty, i did an upgrade now to gutsy but it looks like i cant starte the compiz settings mananger. One other thing is, i want to use the latest from compiz-fusion. Any good guides for that? [03:54] Since upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy, I've lost the ability to connect my USB digital camera (Minolta DImage E223). The device is recognized, but not mounted. After a few minutes, it's not recognized any more. [03:54] cappiz: Gutsy automatically installs compiz-fusion [03:54] traveller18, so your new partition is empry? [03:54] empty* [03:54] DARKGuy: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10188230/azureus_2.5.0.4-1ubuntu2%7E7.10prevu1_all.deb [03:54] DisabledDuck, yeah... i want a newer version [03:54] hi [03:54] Tree: if i log out of my ubuntu account realvnc won't let me log in for some reason [03:54] with more plugins [03:54] jdong: wworks on gutsy 64-bit? ^^ [03:54] I can't getmy printer to share with my windows laptop. I don't know how to use samba...and it wont show up under browse printers when I share it from the printer options. [03:55] cappiz: it installs the newest version, you just have to manually install the settings manager [03:55] FaA||Whiz: Use NoMachine and it will start a new X Session [03:55] Why is it telling me to insert a CD when i try to burn an image even though there is already one in the drive? [03:55] thanks jdong [03:55] i did, but cant start the settings manager [03:55] My touchpad works fine but then freezes for a second, when it un freezes scrolling does not work. can someone help me [03:55] Tree: No matchine? [03:55] DARKGuy, if you're bored, try transmission [03:55] cyphase, nothing, no error... [03:55] Tree: No machine? is that another program? [03:55] futsuriai well sort of when ever i make a partition there is a folder called "lost+found" which apparently has some files in it but won't let me see them because when i do make a partition there is some space taken up immediately on this one for example about 500 mb [03:55] Copter: run it from a terminal [03:56] just tells me if i want to keep resolution or go back, but it stays the same lol :p [03:56] run what from terminal? [03:56] and the emerald theme manager is no longer present [03:56] could anyone help me with a small problem? [03:56] !ask [03:56] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [03:56] !ask [03:56] Futsuriai: did you add "users" to the /etc/fstab file? [03:56] monkikuso what type? [03:56] anyone know where custom login sessions are saved? [03:56] DARKGuy: on gutsy 64-bit, you need to install Sun Java (either 5 or 6) from multiverse [03:56] wifi related [03:56] Tree: No machine? is that another program? [03:56] monkikuso: whats up? [03:56] err.. that would be 'user' [03:56] monkikuso just ask it [03:56] compwiz18: hehe I'll try that xD thanks :p [03:56] DARKGuy: then set AZUREUS_JAVA in your environment, as mentioned on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+bug/57875/comments/157 [03:56] jdong: I have them ^^ [03:57] tree, add users where? [03:57] !ask | monkikuso [03:57] Andrew_M: did it work? [03:57] monkikuso: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [03:57] basically, i got the recent release up and running, and im using a linksys wusb54g adapter [03:57] FaA||Whiz: NoMachine is another program you can download. They have .deb files to make it easier [03:57] Is anyone having usb problems with cameras? Or am I the only one? [03:57] it sees my network, and tries to connect [03:57] Tree: thanks ill try it [03:57] i give it the 64 hex wep key, and nothing. [03:57] DARKGuy: unfortunately there is a bug in the preferred icedtea java stack on AMD64 that I cannot track down, so in the meantime I added an environment variable that can override the JVM selection :) [03:57] !ask Can someone who knows about sound in Gusty help me get it working on a Toshiba laptop? I've done all sorts of searching, to no avail. This is the only problem I've had installing it on this laptop. [03:57] Futsuriai: mimic the line in /etc/fstab used for the cdrom [03:57] Andrew_M: did it work? [03:57] Copter: gnome-display-properties [03:57] it just comes back and asks it again [03:57] Ubuntu burns DVDs fine. Why is it not burning CD-Rs? It does not recognize the blank disk. It tells me it is a CDRom with 2kb on it. [03:57] andrew_m what type of flash is in it? [03:57] * leo_rockw is away: Ausente por ahora. === leo_rockw is now known as leo_away [03:57] Futsuriai: add options user,auto [03:57] i'm inclined to think tis' the actiontec router (provided by verizon fios) [03:57] Tree: One more question, can i view it from a windows box? [03:58] tree, would I have to do that for every extrenal harddrive? [03:58] FaA||Whiz: you'll use the NoMachine client [03:58] Djpenguin: I haven't installed it yet. My mac isn't with me. I'll install tomorrow when I'm in the office and let you know. The download took about 20 minutes! [03:58] !print [03:58] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[03:58] Futsuriai: afaik...yes [03:58] it stays on 1280x1024 :/ [03:58] Copter: i know, i just want to see if it gives any error messages on the terminal [03:58] Copter: did it? [03:58] futsuriai well sort of when ever i make a partition there is a folder called "lost+found" which apparently has some files in it but won't let me see them because when i do make a partition there is some space taken up immediately on this one for example about 500 mb [03:59] nope no errors [03:59] does OCRAD have a GUI or is it just text based? [03:59] FaA||Whiz: Are you still having VNC problems on logout? [03:59] Andrew_M: Yes, it was 573mb, what did you expect? Plus it was uploaded pretty slow... [03:59] so basically, why won't it connect to the wireless network when i gave it the correct key? all it does is ask for the key again. [03:59] i don't know how to open the program [03:59] Copter: and no window pops up? [03:59] traveller18, about your partition, I don't quite follow, you make a new partition and there's a folder called lost+found on it? [03:59] yes. the ext3 filesystem will do that [03:59] Andrew_M: yea i can't login to the box while its logged out [03:59] Djpenguin: I see... well, hopefully it will install on my Mac and I can get rid of yellowdog linux. [03:59] Andrew_M: The person who uploaded it could not have had more than 1mbps [03:59] cyphase, nope. just asks me if i want to keep the resolution or to go back (even though nothing appears to change) [04:00] futsuriai as soon as it is created there is a file called lost+found in it [04:00] im on a radeon 9800 pro [04:00] tree, there has to be a better way, on my gentoo install external usb-drives are automounted with those priviliges w/o the drives appearing in fstab [04:00] Andrew_M: i am not looking for you to install it [04:00] that is a system directory, do not delete it [04:00] Copter: lets go into a private chat [04:00] Andrew_M: i am looking for you to get it to boot from LiveCD [04:00] FaA||Whiz: Can you use SSH to connect to the machine once you've logged out? [04:00] Futsuriai: there probably is [04:00] Andrew_M: And is your mac ppc g4? [04:00] traveller18, ok, so when you mount it and try to do what the guide says, it doesn't copy anything? [04:01] My touchpad works fine but then freezes for a second, when it un freezes scrolling does not work. can someone help me [04:01] Andrew_M: ive been trying to use realvnc, im a linux noob [04:01] yea [04:01] Djpenguin: I was looking for a ppc version of Ubuntu for that machine. Didn't know that one existed. If I can boot to the live CD, then I will try the install. [04:01] FaA||Whiz: So you have Ubuntu on one machine with RealVNC, what machine are you trying to connect from? [04:01] i showed u the link correcto? [04:01] futsuriai yes the partition also automatically mounts but i don't know if that helps at all [04:02] Andrew_M: just a windows xp machine [04:02] Andrew_M: i showed u the link correcto? [04:02] traveller18, can you create files in it? [04:02] Djpenguin: Yes the link was good and I have the ISO. [04:02] If you go to /mnt/name and do 'touch foo' does it create a file? [04:02] I'm a linux newbie, and I'm having some trouble with Gutsy on a new Gateway lappy. I can't get the brightness controls to work, and googling for a few hours did not help much. Its primary video card is an onboard gateway device, but it does have a secondary ATI card, which might be the problem. Can anyone help? [04:02] hi! can i rename the mounted file systems? [04:02] Andrew_M: you now have it as a dmg then? [04:02] FaA||Whiz: You can download Putty and try to use SSH to connect to the Ubuntu machine. I'll send you the link to putty. [04:02] no [04:03] Andrew_M: ok thanks [04:03] futsuriai no i can't [04:03] Andrew_M: Please use disk util to burn [04:03] Djpenguin: No, it's an ISO. I intend to burn as a disk image and boot from it. [04:03] traveller18, what does it say? [04:03] what is a good IM program? [04:03] it blacked out [04:03] it blacked out? [04:04] navets, pidgin?

I am all out [04:06] Je m'excuse :p [04:06] FaA||Whiz: you can then check to see that VNC didn't die when you logged out.

[04:08] qwerty121: the name /dev/hda is a device-file name you can change it with some effort but I wouldnt recommend it [04:09] seivan: once its installed it pretty much works the same as any distro [04:09] FaA||Whiz: Looks like SSH may not be running on the ubuntu machine. OK... can you log into the Ubuntu PC?

[04:10] sure [04:10] hold on [04:10] I'm helping a friend of mine with openoffice, she needs 2.3, but ubuntu (fiesty) , when we tried to update to gibbon it die miserbly , so we have to stick with fiesty , now when i try to install oo2.3 it says i need to uninstall oo2.2, however when i try to apt-get remove openoffice* it also wants to take ubuntu-desktop with it, so how do i install oo2.3 in ubutnu 7.4 [04:10] vocx: I have, and there is nothing regarding gateway models and nothing that solves my problem with other models. [04:10] Sorry, I meant $mkdir /mnt/newhome then $sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda5 /mnt/newhome ? [04:10] FaA||Whiz: Open a terminal and type in the following command: ps aux | grep -i ssh [04:11] FaA||Whiz: you should see a line that reads something like: /usr/sbin/sshd [04:11] snail__: I would say upgrade to gutsy... just backup everything and try to upgrade again [04:11] when I want to mount my DVD room i get the following error screen: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd missing codepage or helper program, or other error [04:11] poningru, this would be the 3rd attempt [04:11] okay... i just used the upgrade manager to get 7.10. i got one question though... it says it going to remove ndiswrapper-source. wont i loose my internett connection then? [04:11] snail__: if not backup all data and just reload it [04:11] andrew_m no help for me? :( [04:11] poningru: well i can giv u a screenshot [04:11] i dono if i can giv u link [04:11] i just installed gusty gibbon, and am using a linksys usb wifi adapted. it sees the network, and tries to connect with the wep key, but after a while just asks for the wep key again. why won't it connect?

[04:12] snail__: do you have automatix or envy or anything like that? uninstall that stuff [04:12] nj786: yeah thats what I need [04:12] Andrew_M: ok so this is supposed to start ssh? [04:12] ignore my question, I was being stupid [04:12] none of that, everything is apt-get and oss except her wireless driver [04:12] matux: hmm [04:12] hello [04:12] hi' [04:12] vocx, that's a pain. Thanks anyway. [04:12] Andrew_M: yeah msql is running it says wrong password with both blank and my password [04:12] matux: can you pastebin the directory listing in /dev? [04:12] okay... i just used the upgrade manager to get 7.10. i got one question though... it says it going to remove ndiswrapper-source. wont i loose my internett connection then? [04:13] There's no way to realistically troubleshoot the problem? [04:13] matux: go to a terminal and do a 'ls -latr /dev' and paste what comes out [04:13] Excuse me, but how do I get into my MySQL in ubuntu server, it just says access denied [04:13] FaA||Whiz: No it won't start ssh. ps is a command to show you what processes are running in the system. I was just checking to see if sshd was running. [04:13] sjovan: not if its sourc [04:13] sjoerd: you should be fine [04:13] sjovan, I think there is some discussion on the launchpad page about ndiswrapper. But the source package won't affect you since it has actual source code, you know, .c and .h files which you do not use. [04:13] k [04:13] thanx all [04:13] seivan: have you tried loggin in as root to mysql: mysql -u root [04:14] !mysql | seivan [04:14] seivan: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

[04:15] seivan: have you tried this page: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/access-denied.html [04:15] FaA||Whiz: Can you install it using synaptic? System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager [04:15] !ru avers [04:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about ru avers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:15] !ru | avers [04:15] avers: Пожалуйста войдите в #ubuntu-ru для помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke [04:15] ýýý [04:15] cynicaloptimist, I would start by contacting people who have other laptops, and whose brightness controls actually work. And then look for the kernel module (most probably) which does the trick. [04:16] òàì êîðàêóëè íàïèñàëî [04:16] poningru: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=61ohd6w&s=1 [04:16] going to sleep guys nn [04:16] nn [04:16] err I guess I can stick around for that [04:16] poningru: and it just doesnt play [04:16] when i click it [04:16] Not sure if anyone can help but I've got - what I think - is an odd problem [04:17] avers: the sentence you wrote was a statement, not a question. Also it didn't make any sense [04:17] This only happens when starting the computer from a shutdown [04:17] vocx, thanks for the advice. I'll keep working at it for now. [04:17] guys, what logs should i check for shut down problems??? :) [04:17] Andrew_M: is ssh all i need to install? [04:17] hey does anyone know a lot about wine? [04:18] ray, /var/log/messages [04:18] basically, xorg fails to start - saying that there were no screens found [04:18] FaA||Whiz: You need to install the SSH server as well [04:18] poningru: this my pastebin, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43214/ [04:18] Dj-Helix: depends what you need [04:18] nj786: hmm it seems they dont do it properly [04:18] whats every body talking about? [04:18] how do a take a webcam shot with a noise as trigger ? [04:18] because the video card's busid had changed [04:18] nj786: they sees to be only for windows people [04:18] my cousin is getting an error that says opengl is not compiled in wine even tho we have reinstalled it a lot [04:18] when we try to run eve [04:18] poningru: so what do i do? [04:18] FaA||Whiz: In synaptic, the ssh option should include both the client and the server [04:18] Andrew_M: ssh has both server and client int he package [04:19] I just login via command line and restart - afterwards everything is fine [04:19] FaA||Whiz: Great... that's what you need. Go ahead and install. [04:19] Andrew_M: ok [04:19] nj786: to play it you can take that .wmv link ( it should be mms://whatever/something.wmv) and play it with totem [04:19] Excuse me how do I install nvidia drivers, I downloaded nvidia-new-glx [04:20] we are baffeled, we have reinstalled wine a million times and done a --purge uninstall and reinstall of wine but when we run direct x games we get a opengl error [04:20] poningru: does it require flash media player? [04:20] Dj-Helix: maybe it's an OpenGL issue [04:20] nj786: no [04:20] ruz322: not enough. The last entry was "....ray-laptop syslogd 1.4.1#21ubuntu3: restart." [04:20] thats what i was thinking [04:20] atleast doesnt look like it [04:20] Pointilism, sounds like a bug in your video driver. Which card? Which PC, etc? More information and then post a bug in launchpad. Also keep your questions in a single line if you can. [04:20] Could someone help me with my nvidia drivers, I'm in the terminal as we speak cant do squat [04:20] Dj-Helix: did you install from source or via packages? [04:20] Andrew_M: this will allow me to log in now? [04:21] eh sorry about that. It's a 7600GT with the included NVidia Restricted drivers [04:21] Andrew_M: once installed i mean [04:21] hey can anyone help me with my Creative X-fi sound card on ubuntu 7.10? [04:21] bitch, there everyone are silent [04:21] he tired from source first but got the errors and is now trying to install from package [04:21] Excuse me how do I install nvidia drivers, I downloaded nvidia-new-glx [04:21] then what [04:21] poningru: isnt there a way to play it directly like windows lol...i mean why does ubuntu have to go through soo much [04:21] FaA||Whiz: Once you've installed ssh, we need to verify that it's actually running. Type the command I gave you before: ps aux | grep -i ssh [04:21] nj786: ask yahoo to make it standards compliant [04:22] Andrew_M: yea it is [04:22] seivan: do it through the restricted drivers - System-Administration -> Restricted Drivers [04:22] seivan: Why don't you use synaptic to install those drivers. They're listed in the package manager. [04:22] nj786: its not ubuntu's fault yahoo decides to make their stuff windows only [04:22] Andrew_M: because i dont have a -RW thats 700mb [04:22] could compiling it from source effect opengl somehow? [04:22] FaA||Whiz: Great, now go to your windows machine and try to connect using PuTTy, remember to select SSH as the protocol. it's not the default. [04:22] poningru: ahh that blows.. [04:23] anybody who can help me with my Creative x-fi soundcard on 7.10 pm me [04:23] Djpenguin: I see. I have those so I'll try the CD option. [04:23] i feel like my gnome installation is fubar... and I'd like to switch to xfce... and I've already tried installing "xubuntu-desktop" and it never really worked [04:23] why would it be any different? [04:23] matux: hmm this is weird can it play other cds? [04:23] or other dvds [04:23] it booted up the same as normal :Andrew_M [04:23] no, i doesn't play anything [04:23] Dj-Helix: it may not be enabled by default. I can say that the binaries available via synaptic/apt worked out of the box for me so i would recommend that method. But of course it could be down to the drivers being used [04:23] Hi [04:23] is it more complex than that [04:24] Andrew_M: I did, I installed nvidia-glx-new through synaptic, what else is needed? [04:24] it used to work fine in 7.04 [04:24] monkey_: Im in a terminal cant do that [04:24] and can I install xubuntu from the cd without reformatting my harddrive [04:24] Djpenguin: I don't know why it would make a difference. [04:24] how do i find out what number grub sees my drives as? [04:24] seivan: whoops my bad xD [04:24] matux: go to a terminal and do a dmesg [04:24] Pointilism, then maybe you can check Lauchpad for the restricted drivers and search for a similar problem or open another bug report. It seems by your description that you can repeat the bug as many times as you want and then work around it. [04:24] yea we are going to do a fresh install as a last resort im thinking he screwed someting up when he tried to manually compile the latest build from source [04:24] and pastebin that [04:24] Exactly :Andrew_M [04:24] seivan: in my machine I also have nvidia-kernel-common. That's all [04:25] Dj-Helix: just do a make uninstall of that [04:25] ubuntu has a bizzare numbering system compared to my previous debian install that doesn't make sense to me [04:25] it should remove everything [04:25] poningru I get a lot of errors [04:25] we did that and did a uninstall --purge [04:25] anybody who can help me with my Creative x-fi soundcard on 7.10 pm me [04:25] Dj-Helix: i presume you've got the card manufacturers drivers installed? [04:25] yees [04:25] guru: you can do /dev/whatever in grub if its in ubuntu [04:25] hi everybody [04:25] everyting else opengl related works fine we just finished a quakewars et game and that runs fine [04:26] poningru: actually i am trying to add a chainloader entry to boot into windows xp [04:26] its just under wine when we get the opengl not compiled errors [04:26] Dj-Helix: whats the program? [04:26] there are some games that simply will not run in cedega so i decided to set aside a windows install for those games [04:26] eve [04:26] Dr_Zigawatt: Have you tried alsaconf? I've used it for some older cards. I'm not familiar with yours, but Creative should be supported, eh? [04:26] guru: if you just let grub autodetect then you should be fine [04:26] !grub | guru [04:26] guru: 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 [04:26] Excuse me how do I install nvidia drivers, I downloaded nvidia-new-glx [04:26] i'll try right now [04:26] matux: can you pastebin it?

Any idea? 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01) [04:27] Djpenguin: When I boot, I'll choose the live-powerpc option. If that doesn't work, I'll keep trying till I find something that works. I'll definitely get back to you.

[04:29] seivan: Can you run the following command and tell me what you find: X -probeonly [04:29] Netham45: oh yes [04:29] like, if I could get XP running off of my server, even in read only mode, it would be glorious === mosn1 is now known as mosno [04:29] Andrew_M: I fianly got X going, but gnome doesnt give me any window borders [04:30] matux: ooh crap [04:30] Djpenguin: If we can get Ubuntu to work on this machine, I'm sure there will be very, very many people happy :) [04:30] !ru [04:30] My touchpad scrolls fine, but freezes for a second then vertical scroll stops working, can someone help please.

[04:31] :'( [04:31] i typed alsaconf and it says command not found [04:31] seivan: Are you in gnome or just X? If you open a command prompt and type this command "ps aux | grep -i gnome" do you see anything? [04:31] matux: can you test it out in windows? [04:31] skafiskafnjakX, #xubuntu, iirc [04:31] guys, what logs should i check for shut down problems??? :) [04:31] matux: my strong suspicion is that your cdrom crapped out [04:31] Andrew_M: yes [04:31] ray__: dmesg [04:31] My touchpad scrolls fine, but freezes for a second then vertical scroll stops working, can someone help please. [04:31] other than log/messages [04:31] Andrew_M: I think he has no GUI [04:31] what should i test, that the cdrom is working [04:31] Andrew_M: Im in the terminal as we speak [04:32] matux: just play a dvd [04:32] Andrew_M: but when I start X.... I get no window border and my muouse cursor is a crosss [04:32] ok , then if it works which would be the second guest [04:32] excessluggage: It may be that X is running, but gnome is not. [04:32] poningru: this is the part that i'm confused with...according to that link it should be (hd0,0) but that is the same thing for my ubuntu install...is that possible? [04:32] poningru: shut down not boot :) [04:32] excessluggage: I dont have a GUi as we speak but when I start X, I get no window borders, just the gnome panels, windows and stuff but no borders [04:32] guru: no not possible [04:32] ray__: oh [04:32] seivan: ooh nice [04:32] seivan: how about trying to start gnome manually... you can do this by typing "gnome-session &" at a console prompt. [04:33] guru: but read the part about autodetect [04:33] poningru: tried looking at /log/messages [04:33] Dr_Zigawatt: try sudo alsaconf - if that doesn't work type "which alsaconf" or "locate alsaconf".... [04:33] hello. I have a question: I haven't really touched my ubuntu since I installed. I was thinking of updating but I don't know how. Also, after I update, should I upgrade? [04:33] Andrew_M: I get GTK error, cannot open displau [04:33] Andrew_M: I get GTK error, cannot open display [04:33] My touchpad scrolls fine, but freezes for a second then vertical scroll stops working, can someone help please. [04:33] poningru: but the last entry was "....ray-laptop syslogd 1.4.1#21ubuntu3: restart." [04:33] what's the most common reason for recursive errors when compiling [04:33] Hay GUYZ! I have a Gateway ML3109, I can't get the audio to load.

[04:34] seivan: try doing sudo dpk-reconfigure xserver-core [04:34] seivan: at the command prompt, type the command "set | grep -i display" what do you get? [04:34] vocx: my original question is updating. How do get everything up to date? [04:34] DisabledDuck: frostwire [04:34] poningru: sure it shouldnt be xserver-xorg ? [04:34] Andrew_M: hold on m8 [04:34] ray__: i can't get frostwire to work [04:34] DisabledDuck: but you'll have to DL the .deb from their site [04:35] seivan: err right xserver-xorg-core [04:35] or xserver-xorg [04:35] Andrew_M: I get some.... stuff [04:35] poningru: I have already done that.. but vesa as driver [04:35] DisabledDuck: ill just try to install frostwire [04:35] My touchpad scrolls fine, but freezes for a second then vertical scroll stops working, can someone help please. [04:35] !frostwire | DisabledDuck [04:35] DisabledDuck: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire [04:35] DisabledDuck: i had some issues on a friend's laptop (64), worked flawlessly on mine [04:35] greenman, the update manager doesn't appear at the top right corner in the notification area? You can add it in the panel. [04:35] seivan: what nvidia card do you have? [04:35] yeah, i'm using 64-bit and i can't get Frostwire to run [04:35] hmmmmmm [04:35] hi [04:35] vocx: I do everything from the command line. :) It's a server in the basement. [04:35] LimeWire rocks [04:36] Is there a curses for it? [04:36] why need frostwire/ [04:36] DisabledDuck: lemme remember how i fixed it :P [04:36] poningru: i did and i ran update-grub but it did not detect my windows install [04:36] seivan: I dont think its the vid driver [04:36] net [04:36] question: i'm currently on the (unbroken) linux partition on my harddrive. my old computer broke to i swapped this hard drive into an even older one. because of the driver issues i can't boot into windows. normally i would use my winxp install disc to fix the windows reboot, but this computer does not have a cd/dvd drive. can i fix my windows partition from linux? [04:36] guru: ah ic [04:36] seivan: can you cut-paste it to this forum? Or at least any lines that have ERROR on them. === david___ is now known as linuxidiot [04:36] oooh it comes as a deb :D [04:36] guru: what hard drive is the windows partition on compared to the ubuntu partition? [04:36] DisabledDuck: i think u have to install the 32bit version and force it to be used with a command [04:36] greenman, oh, there are probably some options you need to read for apt-get or aptitude, read their manual pages. Then something like "sudo apt-get update" should work. [04:36] Anyone notice Trackerd randomly doing a complete reindexing ... it's currently using about 80% of my memory! [04:37] poningru: you mean GroovyMcFlowerch? [04:37] DisabledDuck: talking about JRE 1.5 [04:37] Andrew_M: no cant [04:37] [question] how do i share a folder within two ubuntu desktops on the same network [04:37] poningru: I have nvidia 8600 [04:37] hi on firefox im trying to change the media player plugin I went to manage but when I click on plugin it doesn't give me any other choices whys that? [04:37] ray__: i believe so [04:37] seamus7: it's probably supposed to do that [04:37] hey guys [04:37] :D [04:37] poningru: were you talking to me? [04:37] rainking: both "which alsaconf" and "lcoate alsaconf" do not come up with an error but instead do nothing [04:37] seivan: the error message that you mentioned seems to indicate that the display is not set. I don't think it's a display card issue since you ARE getting windows to show. [04:38] vocx: okay, I'll check it out. that sounds way to easy. :) Now about the upgrading, the instructions are for upgrading from feisty fawn to gutsy gibbon, I have the edgy one (I think, not quite sure, but I know it's before feisty) [04:38] [question] how do i share a folder within two ubuntu desktops on the same network [04:38] is anyone else having issues with gnome in gusty? [04:38] seivan: is it an X-server problem? [04:38] seivan: the problem with the DECORATIONS on the windows not showing up is a bit puzzling. [04:38] Andrew_M: no it isnt, it's just I dont get any window borders in Gnome [04:38] seivan: i'm jealous [04:38] i had minimal problems in feisty [04:38] !version | greenman [04:38] greenman: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [04:38] poningru: http://rafb.net/p/7vsPoY45.html [04:38] avgeneral: are you using samba? [04:38] Andrew_M: I cant close or move the windows nor can I see the borders [04:38] GroovyMcFlowerch: :( ? [04:38] linuxidiot: I wonder why it would do that ... i thought it wouldn't need to do a complete reindexing since it 'watches' for updates ... oh well .. I guess I'll need to throttle it down using its preferences window [04:38] i have both samba and nfs installed [04:38] seivan: of your graphics card [04:38] noor: not really, I can get X to work [04:38] but now gnome is glitchy and generally slow [04:39] GroovyMcFlowerch: oh it's in my laptop :) [04:39] powerlaptop :D [04:39] seivan: im guessing your compiz-fusion wont show any window borders 0_o [04:39] poningru: that's the output of fdisk -l and of cat /boot/grub/device.map. also when i run sudo grub then find /boot/grub/stage1 it returns (hd1,0) [04:39] noor: I don't use compiz-fusion [04:39] can anyone tell me why my wine games are no longer playing in full screen, they're showing window mode in top left corner of screen [04:39] seivan: By the way, what make of a laptop is it? [04:39] vocx: wow, I have dapper. :) [04:39] My touchpad scrolls fine, but freezes for a second then vertical scroll stops working, can someone help please. [04:39] Andrew_M: a Zepto model 3215w :) for like 1000 dollars :D [04:39] 10 000 swedish kronors including shipping [04:39] nathan: you have enabled desktop mode in your wine cinfig file [04:39] *config [04:39] seivan: oh ok so its just gnome 0_o!!! thats weird [04:39] DisabledDuck: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3696529 [04:40] [answer] I have both Samba and NFS isntalled [04:40] 2 gig ram, santa rosa c2d (1.8), 8600 512 [04:40] anyway [04:40] I use ubuntu-server [04:40] in gutsy you appear to be able to just right click and share [04:40] "Frostwire needs the ia32 version of java. Try installing" this will make it work ;) [04:40] but it won't show up when i go to network though [04:40] greenman, well, you say you have server. So it should be solid. May wait for the next LSB release and upgrade directly to that. Yes, I think that will be possible. [04:40] poningru: if i am understanding everything correctly according to grub my linux kernel is on hd1,0 [04:40] apt-get upgrade asks you first before it does it right? [04:40] guru: how many installs of linux do you have on there? [04:41] poningru: just one [04:41] greenman, err I meant LTS long term support. [04:41] Dr_Zigawatt: Hard to imagine alsaconf isn't installed... Hey, it's not on mine either! Time to install... [04:41] vocx: so there isn't an LTS since dapper? *confused* [04:41] poningru: i have multiple drives with multiple partitions though all but two of those partitions belong to my linux install [04:41] when i right click to share folder, it tells me to fill in the following: "share through: (i chose NFS)" and "allowed hosts: (i dunno what to put)" [04:41] guru: hmm yeah linux kernel should be on hd1,0 [04:41] hello everyone [04:42] how do i switch which version of java i want to use/ [04:42] whoever was looking for a p2p client, frostwire just installed from the deb and works oob [04:42] question: i'm currently on the (unbroken) linux partition on my harddrive. my old computer broke to i swapped this hard drive into an even older one. because of the driver issues i can't boot into windows. normally i would use my winxp install disc to fix the windows reboot, but this computer does not have a cd/dvd drive. can i fix my windows partition from linux? [04:42] poningru: ok, so that would mean windows is on hd0,0 [04:42] sudo init 0 [04:42] guru: yes it should [04:42] but cat menu.lst [04:42] poningru: but what i don't understand is that in menu.lst root is listed as hd0,0 [04:42] Andrew_M: no solution? [04:42] greenman, 6.06 is LTS because it will be supported 5 years on server. Same thing with 8.04. But in between versions are supported 3 years only. [04:42] what i hward that compiz was default on 7.10, but i can't se it any where... [04:42] Andrew_M: I am rebooting [04:42] * sjovan just uppdated [04:42] can you cat menu.lst? [04:43] sjovan: only if you have correct vid card [04:43] what vid card do you have? [04:43] yes, let me pastebin it [04:43] I have an I/O Magic 320GB external hard drve that i'm trying to mount but gutsy gibbon will not allow me to mount it. Please /msg me if you are able to help [04:43] poningru: http://rafb.net/p/D94lbE32.html [04:43] poningru: nvidia geforce 3 ti 200 :) [04:43] HI [04:43] hello [04:44] BlackPhoenix313: did you try manually mounting it? [04:44] I would like help installing TimeVault on Ubuntu Feisty [04:44] seivan: I'm checking [04:44] yes i did [04:44] it worked when I had to force it [04:44] seivan: how did you get gnome to start in the first place? did you type gnome-session? [04:44] vocx: so basically it aint broke don't fix it? :) Just leave it alone. I should update the softwares though, right? [04:45] BlackPhoenix313: ok... so what's the problem? [04:45] just run an apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade? [04:45] I hear that Ubuntu Gusty comes with Compiz Fusion [04:45] Hello, how can I keep the following line, even afer I reboot? "sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128"? [04:45] GroovyMcFlowerch, isn't it easier to plug a CD drive? Also, what do you mean by broke? Did it explode? No you cannot fix Windows. [04:45] guru: I dont think that devices.map is right then [04:45] poningru: the only thing i can think of is that the uuid is overriding the root line in the two entries for linux [04:45] NETWizz: That's true, by DEFAULT. [04:45] does anyone know if Gutsy 7.10 fixed the JMicron controller issues? [04:45] All the plugins? [04:45] poningru: but any ways... where can i finde a good guide then? went to compiz.org, but i can only finde a installing on ubuntu edgey guide there... [04:45] Any ideas as to why my windows laptop can see my ubuntu desktop but not the other way around [04:45] Andrew_M: k, so why isn't it in my menu then? [04:46] guru: it shouldnt be able to because then it cant find /boot [04:46] please_hel1 write it down [04:46] ? [04:46] is there a way that I can automate the process or is it too early for that [04:46] whats the best strategy to update from Ubuntu 7.04 to Ubuntu 7.10 if you have two ubuntu 7.04 machines [04:46] Andrew_M: just uppgraded from 7.06 > 7.10... [04:46] poningru: i'm going to give hd0,0 a try and see if it works. worst case scenerio i'll boot back into ubuntu [04:46] NETWizz: if you install the desktop edition, yes. But you need to apply the effects that you want. [04:46] BlackPhoenix313: is it setup in your fstab? [04:46] sjovan: turn it on with system->preferences->appearences->(last tab) [04:46] cause windows isn't allowing other devices to see it on the network? [04:46] what do you mean traveler? [04:46] greenman, sure. And if you haven't enabled strange repositories or even backports, you will not get newer software, just security upgrades. [04:46] hey [04:46] hold on let me check [04:46] is there a way to get a bluetooth server or something set up on ubuntu [04:46] guru: try hd3,0 [04:46] so that i can send stuff from my phone [04:46] Anndrew, I s hould remove my current Compiz Fuison form Feisty first then right? [04:46] well i enalbed file sharing turned windows firewall off and still no luck [04:46] poningru: ok [04:47] poningru: aaaa. i c. ahve to restart x first [04:47] brb [04:47] right now i can send data to my phone from my box, but not from my phone to the box [04:47] poningru: is there any way i can test it without rebooting? [04:47] exit [04:47] erm [04:47] haha [04:47] Should I upgrade to Gusty? [04:47] the phone doesnt pick up my laptop as a 'device' [04:47] keram how do you mean a bluetooth server? for networking? [04:47] If I am told to upgrade to Gusty, I will do so right now [04:47] guru: yeah just type in grub at the terminal [04:47] poningru: ok, then what? [04:47] sjovan: Should be a menu item under System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effects [04:47] should i download Ubuntu 7.10 and burn it to disc [04:47] koshari__, like a bluetooth service so that i can send data from my phone to my computer [04:48] lol NETWizz [04:48] and do things like root (hd3,0) [04:48] how can you see a picture of the movies in nautilus like in feisty on gusty? [04:48] hi everyone [04:48] I just want to run TimeVault, but if it is best to upgrade to Gusty first then I will [04:48] My touchpad scrolls fine, but freezes for a second then vertical scroll stops working, can someone help please. [04:48] using Ubuntu [04:48] who wants to chat? [04:48] then have two machines upgrade from the disc [04:48] yes its very easy to transfer to of from a bt phone with ubuntu [04:48] vocx: I'm not exactly sure what I enabled. I just remember setting it up. It's just a webserver so it doesn't have a *whole* lot of stuff on it. :) [04:48] koshari__, how do you do it? [04:48] greenman, I¡m curious, when did you install your newly Ubuntu 6.06? [04:48] sjovan: Only if compiz is installed, and only in the desktop edition is it installed by default. [04:48] guru: and then type in kernel and then press tab couple of times see what comes up [04:48] !Hellgate [04:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about hellgate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:48] NETWizz: are you on a mac?

[04:50] well thx [04:50] it's not on compiz.org [04:50] it runs like [04:50] mips [04:50] I didn't think that iptables was a firewall exactly [04:50] greenman, but you did not upgrade once?! Just left it in the basement! [04:50] koshari__, you did? [04:50] NETWizz: you can upgrade [04:50] koshari__, i didnt get it [04:50] sjovan: What are you currently running? Feisty?

I haven't updated at all, I don't think. I probably should have... [04:51] sjovan: the upgrade should have done it. It did it for me.

[04:51] Yes, but not as well as in Edgy [04:51] rainking: im going to try installing the latest alsa drive(1.0.15) [04:51] guru: hold on [04:52] My Webcam won't work [04:52] koshari__, i'm actually using xfce [04:52] why was I highlighted? [04:52] Oh, and I can't compile stuff in Feisty [04:52] NETWizz, might as well then, you left a stable version, do it again. [04:52] koshari__, these gnome utilities should still work though right? [04:52] staying here [04:52] yes [04:52] Netham45: /lastlog [04:52] going else were [04:52] Andrew_M: compiz is installed... [04:52] how can i set up my external hard drive in fstab [04:52] Okay [04:52] Andrew_M:wierd that i don't ahve any new menu items... [04:52] Will Time Vault be easier to install from Gusty? [04:52] guru: DOH do sudo grub [04:52] you may need to use the CLI commands such as obex send ect, otherwise i recal you can create a launcher and drag the file onto it [04:52] BlackPhoenix313: there should be an example entry at the very top [04:52] NETWizz, did you install that easy in Edgy? [04:52] poningru: i did [04:52] !fstab | BlackPhoenix313 [04:52] BlackPhoenix313: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [04:53] ??? [04:53] hold on [04:53] koshari__, okay i have those installed, now what? [04:53] What is Easy? [04:53] sjovan: If compiz is installed, there should be an option under "System -> Preferences" for Advanced Desktop Effects". [04:53] from terminal run "hcitool scan" [04:53] hmmm [04:53] see if it picks up your bt device [04:53] sjovan: Why don't you try the radical.... uninstall then install, through Synaptic. [04:53] !Partitions [04:53] 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 [04:53] koshari__, okay it picked it up [04:54] hi I am running 7.10 and just enabled advanced desktop effects [04:54] sjovan, its under the Appearance setting under preferences [04:54] Should I remove Compiz Fusion before upgrading to Gusty? [04:54] and compiz is definitely running but there is no window decoration at all [04:54] uhh...i just typed sudo grub then when it started i typed 'help --all' and after showing me one screen of text it segfaulted - that isn't supposed to happen is it? [04:54] Evanlec: Thanks!!! [04:54] Isn't Fusion automatic in Feisty? [04:54] guru: no it isnt [04:54] Lunaix, no [04:54] mmmm grub bug. tasty. [04:54] Evanlec: yes... when i put on Extra the wobly got on, but where is the compiz manger then? is that something i need to install my self? [04:55] Hmm...for some odd reason it was on my CD ;X [04:55] guru: I would love to help dude but I have to go to sleep [04:55] sorry [04:55] sjovan, yes, do 'sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager' [04:55] karam if i remember i made a launcher in xfce and dragged the file onto it, but i will have to remember the command [04:55] gnuyen: have you gone into Appearances and enabled the desktop effects? [04:55] no problem but thanks for the effort nonetheless [04:55] seamus7: yes [04:55] Evanlec: hepp hepp, found it [04:55] seamus7: compiz is definitely running [04:55] i'm going to give hd0,0 a shot, couldn't hurt [04:55] koshari__, hmm [04:55] i have wobbly windows [04:55] i just don't have.. title bars or edges [04:55] keram http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/documentation/sendto_menu [04:55] Dr_Zigawatt: Let me know how it goes.. here's a link that might be useful: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-311166.html [04:56] koshari__, yeah that will let me send a file to my phone right? but i want to send a file to my computer FROM phone [04:56] thanx for the help Evanlec and Andrew_M [04:56] gnuyen, get beryl-manager for that [04:56] gnuyen: oh do you have the composite settings manager? [04:57] yes I have composite settings manager [04:57] guru: if you have 1 disk and both windows and linux are on that disk, and linux is on hd0,1 you can virtually guarantee that windows will be on hd0,0 [04:57] sjovan, welcome [04:57] sjovan: No problem. Glad you got it solved! Thanks to Evanlec [04:57] !ccsm [04:57] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [04:57] hey anybody know how to move the home directory to a new partition? [04:57] * sjovan likes the menu look in 7.10 [04:57] traveller18, i have a good guide for that, hold on [04:58] but even without composite settings manager [04:58] i deleted all my .gnome settings [04:58] it regenerated it and no title bars [04:58] traveller18 / Evanlec: dont you just change /etc/fstab? [04:58] traveller18, i followed this guide, it worked pretty well: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ [04:58] what program in ubuntu to monitor packets of different protocols? any gui program for this? [04:58] gnuyen: yikes ... sorry i'm not sure what's going on there ... how long ago did you upgrade to gutsy? [04:59] evanlec yeah i tried that one its not working out for me [04:59] karem to send from phone to pc run obex server [04:59] keram, thats only one part of it, you also have to copy the data to the new partition as well [04:59] rainking: alright it is done installing. Im going to reboot now. Thanks for the link. [04:59] seamus7: day of, metacity works fine [04:59] tcpdump is text based,any other great network monitoring gui program for ubuntu that can monitor packets? [04:59] traveller18, well what went wrong? [05:00] Dr_Zigawatt: you're welcome, hope it helps. [05:00] evanlec didn't copy any files and didn't make a folder in the partition [05:00] johndow09: Wireshark is GUI based and is the former Ethereal. [05:00] gnuyen: do you have 'workarounds' and such enabled in Advanced Desktop Settings Effects? that's all I can think of .. fiddling with the modules which are loaded... perhaps one of them isn't loaded and should be in order to get your titles and edges??? [05:00] hehe... and now the problems start. guess i need to read some FAQ at compiz.org :) [05:00] traveller18, so when u ran the $find . -depth -print0 | cpio –null –sparse -pvd /mnt/newhome/ command what happened? [05:00] well, anyone? [05:00] ok Andrew [05:01] i have here ettercap [05:01] what else besides wireshark? [05:01] johndoe09: You can install it from synaptic. [05:01] anyone know how to find out my sound device file? is it in /dev? [05:01] evanlec well at first it worked or looked like it did, then i've tried it again and its always said permision denied [05:01] whois Andrew_M [05:01] Evanlec, you probably want a cp -R not just cp to copy all files to new partition === Tarkus_ is now known as Tarkus [05:01] traveller18, did u try using sudo ? [05:01] abrar: It's ME. [05:02] heh [05:02] hi.. [05:02] keram, yea i dunno, that command worked for me.. === greg is now known as gbp [05:02] evanlec i used sudo [05:03] traveller18, okay when does it say permission denied? [05:03] everytime it tries to copy a file [05:03] is there a way to dump the compile errors to a file so i can try to debug why someting isnt compileing properly? or is it logged already, and where? [05:03] what is cool program to do firewalling in ubuntu desktop, any cool gui? i dont like firestarter [05:03] how do i log in as a superuser [05:03] wont let me tracert [05:04] traveller18, is this a seperate partition on the same hard disk? what did u format it as? [05:04] I am removing all of Compiz Fusion [05:04] nathan use sudo [05:04] hi [05:04] cool or very good gui program that can drop/allow per packets per port or per packets in a second [05:04] johndoe09, there's nothing cool about firewalling, the best tool to use is the command line...

[05:05] Evanlec: yes currently im doing command line. i was hoping ubuntu has created a gui where all i do i more click and click and a few typing [05:05] i dunno; the name suggests it was a spam bot tho [05:05] oaky... i have a realy dark wallpaper, but is it possible to get things to brighten up when i turne on the cube? cause it's har to se trhough it [05:06] can anyone help me figure out why when I try to enable desktop effects on my 64-bit Gusty Install, it doesn't render the tops of windows? Like where the close, maximize, minimize buttons are?

[05:06] luckyone: look here ---> http://compiz.org/FAQ/Users [05:06] johndoe09: the other day I put a cd into my pc and ubuntu restarted by itself instantly [05:07] it seems like gnome is broken... gdm isn't shutting down properly [05:07] traveller18, alright, can u browse that partition? does it mount correctly? [05:07] just like cool comodo firewall pro of winxp it's free software and very cool click and click firewalling [05:07] Got a problem with power management on my dell laptop (c610), when I close the laptop it just black screens...

[05:08] Andrew_M: putty now works [05:08] I refurse to remove xmms [05:09] I can't change my resolution even though I've run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and even edited my xorg.conf, how can I change my resolution? Is this a bug? [05:09] Andrew_M: how do i get into the xsession gui? [05:09] luckyone: did the FAQ help? [05:09] the question is why [05:09] FaA||Whiz, startx [05:09] any laptop users out there?

[05:09] oi [05:09] dee dee deeeeeee [05:09] man [05:10] how can I scroll up in bitchx? lol [05:10] Evanlec: it still won't [05:10] evanlec could the fact that i stopped creating the partion midway and it had some trouble creating a partition after that [05:11] Evanlec: i tried the startx, my problem is i can't remote desktop to the ubuntu box when someone isn't logged in [05:11] FaA||Whiz, try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart or start [05:11] evanlec i can't create folders [05:11] Dr_Zigawatt: How's that working out? [05:11] is there a way iptables can block non-ip packets like ipx/apple talk/novell and etc? [05:11] how? [05:11] evanlec at least from the windows browser and i don't know about creating files in it [05:11] If Ubuntu was a woman..I would marry it. [05:11] traveller18, yea that could be a problem, what program/method did u use to make the partition? [05:12] Any dell laptop users here? When I close my laptop in gutsy it black screens and I can't do anything, worked fine in feisty... any clues? [05:12] same problem [05:12] is there a way to dump the compile errors to a file so i can try to debug why someting isnt compileing properly? or is it logged already, and where? [05:12] evanlec gparted [05:12] FaA||Whiz, ur trying to use remote desktop to connect to ubuntu? dont think that will work...think thats only for connecting to a windows host [05:13] traveller18, did u do it from a livecd ? [05:13] no [05:13] evanlec no [05:13] i like the pc-linux network icon that shows unplugged wire/cat5 [05:13] rabidweezle, i fiddled with laptop-tools and acpi and nothing worked, i tried swtiching to xfce and i think i broke gnome [05:13] I can remote into the box when i log into the box [05:13] hello buddies, could anybody help me out! to analize why I can't start up X server with my nvidia card? I edited the xorg.conf and it shows me a message telling me: The XKeyboard keymap compiler (XKbcomp) reports: Error: Can't find file 'pe/pe' for symbols include. Couldn't open default font 'fixed' [05:13] Evanlec: I can remote into the box when i log into the box [05:13] can some one pleas tell me how i can get the cube to brighten up, so that i can se the windows when i'm playing with the vube [05:13] i pretty much want to start over from scratch but I don't want to have to reformat [05:13] traveller18, well, i would first then try deleting that partition and creating a new one [05:13] it goes all black on me now [05:13] but the xubuntu install disc tells me I have no choice [05:13] www.pastebin.org/7002 and www.pastebin.org/7009 [05:13] FaA||Whiz, how are u logging into the box? [05:13] so I'm sitting here in extreme frustration ready to break something [05:13] Evanlec: My problem is when someone isn't logged into the box i can't do remote desktop [05:14] i think it has something to do with Cube reflection [05:14] but too cheap to replace anything I'd like to break [05:14] but i don't know any good settings [05:14] so I break nothing [05:14] Evanlec: through x gui [05:14] FaA||Whiz, what do u mean by remote desktop, which application are u using? [05:14] evanlec, don it several times [05:14] hrm, so I'm not the only one here with problems with not being able to close my laptop ehh? [05:14] Evanlec: ubuntu has a vnc in the distro i was using that [05:14] NumbaWon, you can try adding file redirection, like "gcc -o foo bar.c > errors.txt" [05:15] hey, what's a good, quick, backup-my-whole-website solution for Ubuntu? [05:15] traveller18, okay and if u mount the partition and browse to it thru a terminal, try 'sudo mkdir test' [05:15] q_a_z_steve, rsync is good [05:15] thx winzo, i'll give it a try [05:16] I wonder what they changed from feisty to gutsy that broke that feature.... [05:16] rabidweezle, laptops are always tricky because of the integration, and features every manufacturer adds. [05:16] Evanlec: how would I point that to *.mydomain.com exactly, got a guide? [05:16] !rsync | q_a_z_steve [05:16] Sorry, I don't know anything about rsync - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:16] Oh I know vocx [05:16] !info rsync [05:16] rsync: fast remote file copy program (like rcp). In component main, is standard. Version 2.6.9-5ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 256 kB, installed size 516 kB [05:17] Just want a clue to what I need to fix, or something [05:17] q_a_z_steve, im not sure, you'll have to google for rsync [05:17] Evanlec: ubuntu has a vnc in the distro i was using that [05:17] I figure it's acpi messing up [05:17] FaA||Whiz, what? can u make that a complete sentence please? [05:17] Evanlec: k, I'll see [05:17] Evanlec: ubuntu has a vnc in the distro. i was using that. [05:18] rabidweezle, about hibernation and suspend to ram, probably dbus, hal, power manager and the kernel are responsible. [05:18] but I donno what I can do at all to fix acpi, I've never really played with power management in linux before since this is my first laptop [05:18] FaA||Whiz, oh, okay so ur connecting to ur ubuntu box via vnc, from what client? [05:18] get thightVNC [05:19] Evanlec: Ive been using realvnc, but when i log out of the box cause i want it to be just a remote box i can't remote into it [05:19] For sure vocx, what would you do? I searched the wiki's and forums, and I already fixed a few hundred tweaks (like getting the fans running so it don't overheat lol) [05:19] I NEED HELP!!!! i have installed ubuntu recently. it has been working great. i shutdown my computer last night. woke up this morning.....tried to login and it told me "Incorrect username or password. Letters must be in correct case." I used the exact same login and password i have been using for the past week. I am running off a live cd right now. How do i log back into my computer???????? [05:19] FaA||Whiz, again, can u use some punctuation there? [05:19] does iptables -P INPUT DROP mean it will drop all incoming packets including ipx or non-ip packets? [05:20] justinato: you can reset your password using the live cd. [05:20] It's crazy that I *need* to run gkrellm so my laptop doesn't overheat lol [05:20] Evanlec: Ive been using realvnc, but.. when i log out of the box, cause i want it to be just a remote box , i can't remote into it [05:20] rabidweezle, I guess the only thing that is left is to pick a book on C and kernel programming and hack the kernel. That and spam the developers for not making laptops linux friendly. [05:20] How? I am new....lol [05:20] justinato: i can't walk you though it in detail .. but here are the rough steps [05:20] justinato: fuck the livecd... when you are it the logginscreen. just ctrl+shift+F1 [05:20] hooah lol [05:20] Dear Dell, try harder [05:20] justinato: then you are in the terminal [05:20] lol [05:21] then change the paswd [05:21] FaA||Whiz, okay and the problem is that u cant remote into it after logging out of it locally ? [05:21] justinato: 1 - mount old partitions (i think the boot cd will do this for you) [05:21] Evanlec: correct [05:21] hey folks [05:22] FaA||Whiz, okay, well, i can ssh to my box when im logged out...have u tried that? i dont use vnc so im not sure about that [05:22] That's one thing I never got, every other type of computer has set standards, very little *propietary* stuff,laptops are almost 100 percent propietary... [05:22] !language > sjovan [05:22] how can I push multiple commands into one ssh command on a remote server? [05:22] regardless of if they fail [05:22] wow I like ubuntu. I just udated all my software in about 5 minutes. And I haven't updated since about two years ago. [05:22] yummy [05:22] like ssh mymachine.local ls -l will list the files on it [05:22] Evanlec: I'm using this putty program that uses ssh to login to the box. However i want a gui. [05:23] greenman do your dist upgrades? [05:23] what is a good video editing program for ubuntu? [05:23] greenman, what is this server of your doing anyway? [05:23] quik_, string them together using && in between maybe? [05:23] Reng: for cutting/encoding you should check out Avidemux [05:23] justinato: 2 - switch to root and chroot to your hard disk's root [05:23] Evanlec: but if a command fails, it exits.. [05:23] for video editing as in .. effects and stuff .. don't know [05:23] justinato: then use passwd username to reset your password [05:23] sorry for the f word... [05:24] FaA||Whiz, yea i use putty as well, as for gui, i was using freenx before, but that package doesnt have a gutsy repo yet [05:24] justinato: sudo su to switch to root [05:24] that program fix corrupt frames too. right? [05:24] quik_, i see, im not sure then [05:24] * rabidweezle gets back to X [05:24] i don't have to login to anything to do this? just straight from console? [05:24] justinato: did you understand waht i said? [05:24] Reng: it should, can't make any promises though [05:25] justinato: and are you shure that you didn't have on capslock or something? [05:25] justinato: whoever said that about the console was talking crap... you have to log in at the console too. [05:25] bwlang: yes... but you can log in as root there... [05:25] yeah. username and pw are all lowercase [05:25] Evanlec: so is there anything i could do to login locally through putty? so that i could use the vnc [05:26] bwlang: so i wasn [05:26] wasn't talking crap... [05:26] i'm on x86_64, can i run x86 apps? [05:26] sjovan: only if root has a password... which it doesn't unless you set it on ubuntu [05:26] 32 bit can run on 64 bit right [05:26] sjovan, bwlang remember that justinato is inexperienced. Better give him good, precise information, or no information at all. Don't confuse him. [05:26] bwlang: well that was the first thing i did when i installed ubuntu... [05:26] emordrome: yes [05:26] FaA||Whiz, im thinking that perhaps the vnc server process gets killed when u log out locally, so figure out what process that is and start it manually using SSH before u connect with vnc [05:26] vocx: it's a webserver [05:27] ALERT!!!! Ubuntu Lands in Wal-Mart!! http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2007/10/200-everex-gree.html [05:27] I didn't quite understand rabidweezle's question [05:27] Dr_Zigawatt: Did that work? [05:27] When I try to gksudo, I get locked out of my onscreen keyboard. There is also no way to summon it in the login window. I have tried both xvkbd and the default one. How do I fix these things? I am using 7.04. [05:27] sjovan: most people don't... [05:27] * greenman has the most up to date dapper :) [05:27] emordrome, correct [05:27] i just booted into ubuntu for the first time after installing it from the alt cd, and the screen is all a dark blue, with a dashed white line going diagonally across the screen, anyone know how this can be fixed [05:27] lol.....thanks vocx. got tired of windows screwing with me. [05:28] greenman, in order to upgrade the distribution you use "dist-upgrade" it's a common term. [05:28] So, my last question is this. 6.06 was the last LTS, right? When is the next LTS and what version will it be? *curious* [05:28] hey guys, I installed emerald and then decided i didnt like it and uninstalled it...how do i get compiz to restore the old window decorations...right now there isnt anythign there [05:28] vocx, justinato: sorry - i'm too tired to walk you through each step... maybe vocx will help with the details. I think with some google and the steps I gave you should be able to reset your password. [05:28] justinato: good luck [05:29] thanks. atleast you set me in the right direction. [05:29] that will go a long way [05:29] joshhunt: my immediate reaction to that would be to check the monitor cord connection, but if thats fine, try doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and falling back to vesa [05:29] justinato, one thing that comes to my mind is using "sudo" with graphical programs, which you must not as it may be prejudicial [05:30] scguy318: the cords etc are all fine. how would i do that, i cant get to a command prompt [05:30] Hello people! [05:31] DWonderly, i saw that...cant believe they intentionally made it bigger than it needs to be tho, thats very lame [05:31] !gksudo > justinato [05:31] greenman, that will be the next release, hardy heron, coming out in april 2008 [05:31] Evanlec I know, however, it is a good step in the right direction [05:32] :o I set Hi every bady! [05:32] if anyone could point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful...i've been googling around for 30 minutes [05:32] greenman, next will be 8.04. So development has begun, aiming at stability. It is encouraged to participate. [05:32] vocx: so 8.04 is Hardy heron? [05:32] alright. i will give it a try. might have a good laugh in a minute if i am back..... [05:33] DWonderly, yea, i wanna get somethin like that for my other house i stay at, ive got a box i could use but its motherboard is dead...u know where i could find an older socket A motherboard? (for athlon xp 1700+) [05:33] !hardy > greenman [05:33] I'm having an issue with the onscreenkeyboard functions. When I try to gksudo, I get locked out of my onscreen keyboard. There is also no way to summon it in the login window. I have tried both xvkbd and the default one. How do I fix these things? I am using 7.04. [05:33] greenman, correct [05:34] Evanlec #mychattoo [05:35] go a issue with 7.10. on feisty when i had a transparant bg in the terminal all that happend was that i saw the bg, but now i also se the windows behinde it. this is a big prob, cause i can't work with that... irssi works fine, but that's prob. because of the theme or something [05:36] vocx: what do you mean participation is encouraged? How? By running alphas? [05:37] my installation of Ubuntu (update to 7.10) has developed an annoying habit - when I try to move to any other than the initial login screen It puts my background picture up and won't let me move, nor can I see anything but the pic, like an unremovable screen saver. I need to know how to store data on a cdrom since when I mount a cd it tells me I can't write to it. [05:37] greenman: 8.04 will indeed be Hardy Heron [05:37] greenman: the name is a bit unfortunate tho ;) [05:37] sjovan: desktop effects enabled? [05:37] pete83: yes [05:37] I'm looking to replace most of my computer in the near future - including the aging IDE hard disks. I'd like to be able to keep my current install and/or settings/home folder, etc if it's possible -- does anyone know of any good backup utilities that would let me be able to do this? [05:37] joshhunt: Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Recovery Mode [05:37] sjovan: that's probably why [05:37] greenman, yes, testing, bug reporting, whatever you can think of that will make it the best Ubuntu. [05:37] scguy318: it's a great name. all marketing is good marketing :D [05:38] pete83: so this can't be fixed somehow? [05:38] mosno: but when I hear it, I think of nasty stuff ;) [05:38] scguy318: that's exactly what i mean [05:38] another reason to talk about it [05:38] and propagate word of mouth for the OS [05:38] I wonder when the internet servers will update for daylight savings time [05:38] mosno: true [05:38] sjovan: in the terminal, you could just go and set the background as an image instead of transparent [05:38] EdBoy: servers should be running on GMT, so not at all [05:39] EdBoy: a server that uses local time is up for trouble when timezone specific stuff changes [05:39] how can i see what the latest version of a package is with apt-get? [05:39] Markov_: apt-cache policy foopkgname [05:39] then how will my system have it's time automatically updated [05:39] markl__, apt-cache policy might help [05:39] scguy318: why unfortunate? [05:39] EdBoy: Ubuntu will recognize the timezone change and correct accordingly, its client-side [05:39] thanks mosno [05:39] np [05:39] ah [05:39] greenman: I can think of some nasty stuff about it :P [05:40] pete83 [05:40] opps [05:40] How can i get Firefox (Gutsy edition) to lose its obsession with using totem for rtsp: URLs? It's completely broken that way... [05:40] uh, weird problem [05:40] scguy318: that's not very good. :) [05:40] no @ [05:40] lol [05:40] it won't... let me synchronize with internet servers [05:40] pete83: yes, that did work, but it doesn't look as cool [05:40] EdBoy: it does that in the background [05:40] e jebiga [05:40] aj cao [05:40] mamu vam jebem fino slatko [05:40] unless the "synchronize now" button is supposed to be grayed out [05:40] !br | Gost_3922840 [05:40] Gost_3922840: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [05:40] vocx: well, I might do alpha, but I probably won't. I'm not on the computer enough to test it. It just sits there serving away. :) [05:41] EdBoy: im not sure whether its supposed to, but mine is toi [05:41] EdBoy: *too [05:41] oh. [05:41] then, whatever [05:41] oh. I thought of one last question: Will ubuntu take care of the time change? I seem to remember it doing that early this year. :) [05:41] sjovan: you could darken the image in gimp, and then set as background for the terminal. That would mimic the previous effect. Personally, I would just reduce the transparency so it is more subtle [05:41] greenman: it should [05:41] greenman but of course [05:42] How do I find the UUID of something I need to add to fstab? [05:42] !uuid | zengen [05:42] zengen: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [05:42] how can I config the 3d effects in details? [05:42] vocx, thank you [05:42] details? [05:43] cool. That means wordpress time will be correct. Well have a good night everyone. :) [05:43] can anyone explain why a crontab file wouldn't work, ive check the syntax it is correct i run the command maunually and it works [05:43] like the beryl-manager in feisty [05:43] pete83: the problem is that image resolution is less then my screen and it was so nice when every terminal window worked like this without conflicting with each other ---> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/sjovan/Screenshot-5.png [05:43] I'm looking to replace the majority of my computer in the near future - including the aging IDE hard drives, does anyone know of any good backup utilities for *nix, preferably ones that might be in the repos? [05:44] passbe, is it in your $PATH [05:44] passbe, are you using absolute paths in your crontab?

[05:45] if a ALIAS thing depends on a varaible, like say EXAMPLE_OPT, if i changed the varible, would it change the ALIAS? [05:45] sorry if that's too offtopic [05:45] Fossilet, the URL is in quotes ? [05:46] Fossilet, ive also disabled the mailing system for the moment so i cant access the emails [05:46] passbe: enable email - that's cron's error reporting channe; [05:46] passbe, I guess it's the url's fault [05:47] can anyone help? http://pastebin.com/m135a1b4b [05:47] Fossilet, how would it be the url's fault ? [05:47] hello everyone [05:47] !repeat > KevinO0oO [05:47] popular room [05:47] zengen: you could try doing ls /dev/disk/by-uuid -al I think [05:47] Fossilet, when running the command manually it works fine [05:47] passbe, does the /30 actually work in cron? [05:47] KevinO0oO, it is better if you explain a little what you are trying to do instead of just poiing to the pastebin. [05:48] passbe, enable the system mail and look to the error [05:48] Fossilet, ok [05:48] sjovan: yeah, I see. Basically, with desktop effects you will see the windows behind, because that is true transparency, and it never occured to anybody that someone like you would prefer the fake imitation. Can you not just decrease the transparency so it is less noticable? [05:48] vocx, I waited a minute and a few new people came here [05:48] Fossilet, whats the easiest way of doing that (never really used the local email) [05:48] HELLO everyone. Is there something like bery-manager in Feisty so that i can configure the 3d desktop? [05:49] I just ran ./ configure --with-cards=hda-intel on an alsa-driver I just downloaded given by a troubleshooting thread on Ubuntuforums.org I got the output as checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables. Does this mean it didnt do what it was supposed to do [05:49] yes [05:49] pete83: yes i did it now, but it's realy wierd that the irssi terminal window has this fake transparacy. but hey, i'll prog. get used to the new look :) [05:49] there is, its called compiz advanced desktop [05:49] Learning-Ubuntu: install build-essential [05:49] passbe, try ' ' quote the whole command. i do not know if it will work [05:49] i forgot where i got it, but its somewhere [05:49] insp12, the package name? [05:49] Learning-Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install build-essential [05:49] ty scguy318 I assume I can get that through synaptic [05:49] I actually waited 2minutes and 25 seconds [05:50] Learning-Ubuntu: yep [05:50] Fossilet, ok, is there anyway of forcing the crontab file to run so i can check it, or will i have to wait until 4.00 [05:50] (my time) [05:50] passbe, set it to run every minute with 5 *'s [05:50] KevinO0oO, why do you think you have to compile? Have you compiled before? [05:50] where can i save my manually added iptables command? so that when it boot it will start those iptables command i just did? [05:50] ok [05:51] im trying to find the package id, but yeah im a new supporter [05:51] this is probably the best operating system I have used, in particular because of the support [05:51] vocx, I have compiled many of times, I have to compile because there aren't ans pre-compiled packeges for Ubuntu or debain [05:51] any* [05:52] KevinO0oO: whats the app and the question? [05:52] johndoe09, man iptables - it has save builtin to it [05:52] yes it has iptables-save but i dont know which directory to save it [05:52] Ty Scguy that ran alot of stuff :D .

The mixer channels for the ALSA driver are muted by default!!! How do I unmute it ? Everythign in my volume control looks fine [05:56] Learning-Ubuntu: you should be fine [05:56] Learning-Ubuntu: and you'll have to do stuff after you make install nayway [05:57] scguy318: thanks for the info, I don't think its svn, I had to download all the packeages seperatly and configure make install them [05:57] Oh thanks scguy318 . heh first time trying this so kind of worried [05:57] KevinO0oO, it is throwing an invalid lvalue in assignment error? [05:58] Hi, i'm pretty new to Linux and i have i silly question... What happens when i unmount a drive? I have duel booted my Linux with Windows and I don't want the recovery drive on my desktop in Linux [05:58] Hello, something is taking about 1gb of harddrive space in mu ubuntu system. It seems to have occured after I did a mount bind directory /home/user/. Anyone have any idea of how I can resolve this? I've removed the mounting but even so... Still something that takes place [05:58] scguy yes [05:58] scguy318: yes it is [05:58] KevinO0oO: ckin2001 was the one asking so :P [05:58] sorry [05:58] KevinO0oO: there are some RPMs out there which you might be able to install with alien conversion [05:59] ckin2001: yes it is [05:59] hello? [05:59] thanks scguy ill try that if all else fails [05:59] Koncas: when you umount the filesystem will not be mounted anywhere on /, thus not accessible, wont be written to [05:59] KevinO0oO, that is almost certainly an error in the code :p [05:59] amir___: no, i cant hear you ;) [05:59] sweet. [05:59] amir____: hello [05:59] so, its just okay that I unmount my HP recover drive? [05:59] scguy, id like to get the bananaPOS 2.0 but it seems I need a login and password to get them, and no where to request them [05:59] Koncas: yep [05:59] is there an equivalent to the taskmanager in ubuntu? [05:59] hi guys [05:59] thanks [06:00] <----- noobalicious here [06:00] Moin! [06:00] How do I reverse a mount bind command? [06:00] Lockzi unmount? [06:00] Should I have downloaded this ncurses before have running ./configure on alsa-utils . Cause I got this error configure: error: this packages requires a curses library [06:01] Lockzi, umount [06:01] KevinO0oO: BananaPOS seems dead, the site seems down [06:01] Has anyone gotten their Zune to work in ubuntu gutsy? [06:01] user_: Did that... But something is taking loads of space [06:01] Learning-Ubuntu, you shouldn't be compiling from source at this stage until you really know what you are doing. You are basically going to replace a program. Unless of course you are following very precise and detailed instructions from scguy318 [06:01] ckin2001: thanks I was kind of wondering if that might be the problem, now I need to find what exactly is wrong :) [06:01] KevinO0oO: though Google did index it recently [06:01] hmm [06:01] KevinO0oO: http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cache:uZaBe-wgSMAJ:www.bananahead.com/+BananaPOS&hl=en&client=firefox-a&gl=us&strip=1 [06:01] ckin2001, do you know how I can check whatever takes loads of space on my harddrive? [06:01] Has anyone gotten their Zune to work in ubuntu gutsy? [06:01] !repeat | amir___ [06:01] amir___: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [06:01] sorry [06:01] vocx, understand, I was doing as said here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [06:01] Lockzi that's all i know i'm new also to ubuntu although i tried it several times [06:02] user_: shouldn't it be umount? [06:02] yeah [06:02] that's it [06:02] scguy318, yes, it's umount... I've done that still... Something takes about 1gb [06:02] scguy318: were you at www.bananapos.com? [06:03] KevinO0oO: i tried to visit the page but got a nice unable to connect error I think [06:03] Lockzi, um...., try du -H | grep [0-9]*M [06:03] Is there like a ls command that will list all the files in all subfolders that takes space over 15mb? [06:03] amir___: wont sync, though I think there's a hack to have Linux run on the Zune, if you want to sync, you'll have to run Windows on a VM and sync on the guest [06:03] scguy318: oh it works fine here [06:03] amir___: so I guess the answer is no [06:04] eitherway their newest version is password protected [06:04] :( [06:04] oh well [06:04] ckin2001, got no results from that command [06:04] KevinO0oO: whats the IP address of it? dnsstuff.com doesnt seem to be able to resolve [06:04] Learning-Ubuntu, not bad at all. Good guide. So yes, basically get dependencies and libraries to build and try to do it right. Good luck. [06:05] but I have ncurses installed through synaptic :( [06:05] Lockzi, means there isn't anything over a Meg in size, try it without the stuff after the | [06:05] vocx, and I cant find something called curses in there either [06:05] scguy318: haha it must have went down in the past half hour, I just tried to refresh and it won't resolve [06:05] KevinO0oO: lol ok [06:05] ckin2001, ah... Now I'm running it in the / root [06:05] scguy318: weird lol here it is http://www.bananapos.com/pos/home.html [06:05] there you go [06:05] Hi I have audcaity on ubuntu 7.10, using hda intel sound, when I try to play a clip in audacity it says "Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.", sound works in all other apps, and I have the device set to the correct one, any ideas how to fix [06:06] ckin2001, but it's returning files that's like 100kb... [06:06] Learning-Ubuntu, do you have "ncurses-dev" ? Those are developer's libraries required to compile. [06:06] KevinO0oO: not working, maybe its your browser just spitting back the cache? [06:07] Lockzi, I suck at grep. grep [1-9]M may work instead [06:08] I've come here for help a few times for display issues with my nvidia driver.... You guys should seriously just reference everyone to Envy in those cases. That thing is amazing. It fixed everything. [06:08] !envy | aeGIs [06:08] aeGIs: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly! [06:08] I just upgraded to 7.10 and now I have no sound. Has anyone else had this problem? [06:08] Lockzi, can't you just use the disk usage analyzer? [06:08] hoarycripple, I'm running ubuntu server [06:08] scguy318: nah its there, I refreshed a few times and was able to download one of the old archives. lol this is crazy [06:08] KevinO0oO: what does bananapos.com resolve to for you? [06:09] KevinO0oO: whats the IP address is what I'm asking [06:09] aeGIs, what happens is that we cannot endorse envy. If it works then good, but we cannot make it official. May be in the future. [06:09] ubotu: I used the restricted drivers and I was still having trouble... then I switched drivers, and then back, and my system was stuck in 600x800 (it's 1680 x 1050)... it was a NIGHTMARE. [06:09] aeGIs: 800x600 :P [06:10] vocx: roger that... I understand..... but it worked amazingly for me. [06:10] aeGIs, ubotu is not human === userbn is now known as cute [06:10] scguy318: 74.126.194.254 [06:10] i just installed ubuntu and x doesn't work. [06:11] vocx: I'm just saying it was like days of going nuts trying to fix this prior to running envy... maybe my system will blow up next week because of it, but right now it works really well. I don't even get any blank screens anymore. [06:11] does anyone have any quick ideas to try, or should i get more specifics? [06:11] zaxius: what version did you install? [06:11] KevinO0oO: ah, I see, their nameserver is down [06:11] KevinO0oO: i can connect just fine, ish [06:11] aeGIs, another thing is that envy is totally open source, so maybe it is being slowly integrated into Ubuntu. [06:12] I just upgraded to 7.10 and now I have no sound. Has anyone else had this problem? [06:12] scguy318: I wonder if that's why there ftp downloads are askin for passwords [06:12] vocx: cool... I really wondered why something like that wasn't included in the install really... I mean, most people either have ATI or nvidia cards. [06:12] KevinO0oO: could be lol [06:13] holy bananas [06:13] >IndyGunFreak<: 7.04 via wubi [06:13] thanks scguy318 im calling it a night [06:13] zaxius: you didn't install Ubuntu server edition did ou? [06:13] (IndyGunFreak): negative [06:13] How would I count how many times a word shows up in a document? [06:13] in command [06:14] zaxius: do you have an ati card? [06:14] ^CommonClone^: yep [06:14] mobility radeon x1400 [06:14] zaxius: i'm not real familiar with wubi, but have you tried logging in and then typing, "startx" [06:14] yep it errors out [06:14] have you looked at /var/log/x.org to see what the error is? [06:14] and i bet you want to know what error msg it gives [06:14] KevinO0oO: voila, adding a hosts entry makes the site work [06:15] >ckin2001<: nope [06:15] KevinO0oO: i hope that nameserver outage is temporary [06:15] let me get that info and i'll come back [06:15] Phuzion, that is a very interesting question, some sed and grep or awk or perl... I just don't know. [06:15] zaxius: the easiest thing to do is to install 7.10. it will work out of the box [06:15] but not with wubi right? [06:16] zaxius: i don't know anything about wubi [06:16] Phuzion, you can do it with a combo of wc and grep [06:16] i just don't feel like resizing my partitions heh [06:16] so, wc file.log | grep string? [06:17] cat file.log | grep string | wc [06:17] that will give you the number of lines though, not number of times the word is shown [06:17] How do I create a _LINK_ into the /home/user folder from somewhere else WITHOUT it taking any space? [06:17] Microsoft Windows: A thirty-two bit extension and graphical shell to a sixteen-bit patch to an eight-bit operating system originally coded for a four-bit microprocessor which was written by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition. [06:17] I just installed gutsy and I have no sound. my sound worked with fiesty...can anyone help me with this? [06:18] lockzi - ln -s [06:18] ckin2001, Phuzion you do not need to cat as grep works like "grep " I still think some sed is the proper solution. I think it searches words. [06:19] Wow, that grindi was totally off topic, but kinda fun. I'm off. [06:20] Would a VLC pluggin allow me to make sound from embedded videos like the ones on YouTube or movie trailers, play through my USB Headset? Normally right now, the sound from movies like those play through my stock laptop speakers. USB Headset is recognised, and works fine with Skype or when playing a DVD or Pidgin sounds. [06:20] Phuzion, maybe grep -o "string" file | wc [06:20] I installed the pluggin, but YouTube videos still play through the site instead. [06:20] CommonClone: did u try out everything when double-clicking on the speaker in the panel? [06:21] ckin2001, Yeah, that didn't work. Way too small for one reason or another [06:21] Wait [06:21] ckin2001, is there any way to verify that the symbolic link has been made?

[06:22] it is a regular file, not a symlink or other special file [06:22] some one running AWN here? [06:22] ckin2001, How do I remove a link then? [06:22] CommonClone: gstreamer plugin you can install - no problem, also Gutsy Gibbon should do that for you - but no device found...

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [07:14] Ludwig7666, apache2 or lighttpd [07:14] phuzion: whadda u mean? which version of ubuntu? [07:14] so is this 7.10 i burn useless for upgrading [07:14] anyone know how to turn off system beep? [07:14] so i can just use it off the livecd, is there a "use this amout of space" on the live CD? [07:14] noob69: yes, you can just do a dist-upgrade if you wish [07:14] thanks [07:14] noob69: pretty much [07:14] brew: you're talking about a webserver program, right? you want to access your server via firefox or IE or something, right? [07:14] noob69: you need to burn the alternate CD in order to upgrade from it [07:14] yea [07:14] i was trying to eliminate upgrading twice since i have two machines that i want to upgrade to 7.10 [07:15] to take off my windows drive? [07:15] I can not enter the system at all ,brief on at the time of installation,so I have no way [07:15] phuzion: yea [07:15] NForc3r: should be [07:15] well, what is your webserver program? [07:15] actually i got it [07:15] alrite! time to try it out them [07:15] phuzion: apache2 [07:15] fanyuzheng: what do you mean you cannot enter the system? [07:15] ok [07:15] phuzion: i did a basic LAMP install [07:15] check error_log [07:15] brew: "ps aux | grep apache" [07:15] brew: try that and check whether apache is running [07:16] When i input the ubuntu7.10 livd to install ,the question is show me ,sorry ,my english is soo poor [07:16] fanyuzheng: why are you trying to use the LiveCD to upgrade? [07:16] sandaru1: apache is running, i've restarted it already.. [07:16] fanyuzheng: if you have 7.04 already installed, just use the Update Manager to upgrade [07:16] can you briefly explain to me what "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" do [07:16] fanyuzheng: is it a upgrade or a fresh installation? [07:16] fanyuzheng: or are you trying to perform a clean install [07:16] sandaru1: hoping that would let me access it via http [07:17] does it go to the internet and get package [07:17] brew: seriously, check error_log. it's probably in /var/log/apache2 [07:17] brew: what do you have in /var/www? [07:17] or it check if i have a CD and gets it from there [07:17] no upgrade ,the first intall.i cant use liunux before [07:17] phuzion: k... sry i had no idea where it was [07:17] its cool [07:17] noob69: internet I believe, not sure what adding a CD as a repo would do [07:17] a lot of people have no idea as to where the logs are before they start using them [07:18] fanyuzheng: Ok, you put the CD in and sart the PC - then the error shows up? [07:18] fanyuzheng: well why did you say upgrade? :P anyway, um, so basically it freezes in text-mode? [07:18] noob69: yes, it get the packages [07:18] phuzion: errm.... which log am i lookin at here? lol (1-13) [07:18] scguy, many thnx again and God bless u ;) [07:18] scguy318: I understood fresh install - so I asked him [07:18] xubuntu123: np [07:18] phuzion: make that (0-13) [07:19] zaxius: that seems bad! : 1017 frames in 5.2 seconds = 194.019 FPS [07:19] compiz-fusion; what is the Button4 [07:19] Laser88: i thought he said he was upgrading, that kinda threw me off :( [07:19] Is anyone else aware of a problem playing videos when compiz fusion is enabled? [07:19] brew: the latest should just be error.log [07:19] peace, im out, good bye [07:19] Zelofun: glxgears is not a benchmark [07:19] Zelofun: it doesn't do DRI anyway [07:20] yes ,i use the text-mode can install ,but cant enter the system ,the probelm is still here [07:20] Yeah, brew, please pastebin the first 100 or so lines from your /var/log/apache2/error.log for me [07:20] i'll take a look [07:20] eh [07:20] 50 should suffice [07:20] Phuzion: isn't that last 50 lines? [07:21] oh yeah [07:21] good catch [07:21] i'm looking at an error.log right now, and I didn't see that [07:21] scguy318: yes but i still get direct rendering: No [07:21] fanyuzheng: You already installed? [07:22] i am getting REALLY weird sound errors [07:22] scguy318: Did they ever fix that lierox bug? [07:22] is there a sound equivalent of sudo dpkg-reconfigure ? [07:23] i'm not sure if it's alsa, or the intel driver [07:23] phuzion: its just one "File does not exist: /var/www/favicon.ico" and the rest are SIGTERMs and "resuming normal operations" [07:23] smmagic: no updates on it [07:23] in particular, my headphoine jack no longer works, although if i turn PCM to full, i can hear a tiny bit of sound [07:23] smmagic: so nope, though you can try with latest Wine, but I think it's still outstanding [07:23] i use the text-mode can install ,in the boot ,i add any code ,can install,but can't enter system,the powernowd problem is still here,so i delect the ubuntu.. [07:23] =\ [07:23] also, random songs will have random parts of it filtered out [07:24] for example, i'm playing bohemian rhapsody, and sometimes the choir's voice just disappears [07:24] anyone how can help me with automatix ?

[07:24] hjml: what are you planning to install [07:24] brew: look around through the file, and make sure there's nothing that says CRITICAL or anything like that. [07:24] phuzion: one error, and a buncha notices [07:24] what is wrong with this [07:25] /dev/hda5 /ddrive ntfs rw,defaults,nls=utf8 0 1 [07:25] m0u5e: the best option would be download, compile and install newest alsa version [07:25] Scguy328> i have install it but that was the wrong version....so how do i uninstall it ? [07:25] it wont mount read write [07:25] my cpu is amd x2 4200+ my VGA card is ATI x1950gt ,the ubuntu powernowd is cant support them? [07:25] m0u5e: 1.0.15 [07:25] phuzion: the error was the missing icon (4 days ago) and the notices are all from me restarting apache [07:25] damianl: nls? [07:26] damianl: shouldn't that be locale? [07:26] brew: do you have anything in your /var/www directory? [07:26] hello, i want to watch dvds on ubuntu [07:26] damianl: and your locale should be something like en_US.UTF8 [07:26] !dvd [07:26] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [07:26] can someone explain to me what { gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" } actually do [07:26] noob69: runs a script on the CD [07:26] noob69: that does the upgrading [07:26] !uninstall automatix [07:26] oh ,now ,i use the ubuntu7.10 with VMware workstation/ [07:26] scguy318: do i even need it [07:26] noob69, it runs the cdromupgrade script from the cd with root privileges [07:26] need some help with fluxbox on gutsy. I tried the example style from FB website (Sn33z-mod ) and got no rounded corners. any ideas? [07:27] damianl: not really [07:27] Curley_Sue, Got all your dependencies installed? [07:27] phuzion: yea... [07:27] phuzion: umm [07:27] * cofeineSunshine_ good morning [07:27] good...night :P [07:27] phuzion: i just checked error.log.1........

[07:27] hmm its stilll read only [07:27] sandaru1: do you know if it's an alsa problem? [07:27] fanyuzheng: from your output it would seem you reached a shell [07:27] I live in the United States, what's the legal status of using a plug in for scrambled commercial DVDs in ubuntu? [07:28] compiling the newest version won't do anything if the problem doesn't even lie in alsa [07:28] Curley_Sue, I dunno, try running "sudo apt-get install fluxbox" and see if it updates anything [07:28] or just how do i do it entirely legally? [07:28] I want to thank you all who hang out in this channle and help hopeless people like myself and get people on the right track. Beers for everybody on me! [07:28] mudge: the legality of libdvdcss2 is questionable, which is why Ubuntu doesn't distribute it [07:28] how would "re" modprobe my intel drivers [07:28] mudge: some would say it violates DMCA, but others say its exempt cuz reverse-engineering for compatibility [07:28] preferably, let it decide what it should use itself [07:28] mudge: IANAL so [07:29] is there maybe some commercial software or something for linux for playing commercial scrambled dvds? [07:29] what is wrong with this [07:29] fanyuzheng: powernowd should not be the prob [07:29] /dev/hda5 /ddrive ntfs rw,defaults,nls=utf8 0 1 [07:29] NumbaWon, You're welcome. Now, the way you can help out is by helping others out with the problems you already know how to fix, thanks to us. [07:29] it wont mount read write [07:29] damianl: i think I told you... [07:29] scguy318,whats mean? [07:29] damianl: nls=utf8 should be instead locale=en_US.UTF8 [07:29] scguy318 sorry that done nothing [07:29] damianl: if you try to mount from command-line what do you get? [07:29] last ? has anyone in here run the upgrade script { gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" } if yes, how do i know visually that it did the upgrade [07:30] Hello, how can I find the php executable on a linux server? [07:30] mudge: nope, because it all depends on libdvdcss2 [07:30] anyone n [07:30] fanyuzheng: What do you mean with: cannot enter ? [07:30] scguy318: damn, thanks [07:30] mounts fine [07:30] but just not read write [07:30] mudge: the fine creators of that algorithm understandably do not want to release their code as OSS :P [07:30] phuzion: !!!!!!!!! wtf is "client sent HTTP/1.1 request without hostname (see RFC2616 section 14.23): /w00tw00t.at.ISC.SANS.DFind:)" ? lol [07:30] mudge: libdvdcss2 should suffice, screw the legal issues [07:30] m0u5e: there is pretty much no option other than compiling alsa :p [07:30] shouldnt that be the rw option [07:30] anyone knows how to uninstall Automatix ?....i installed the worng version [07:31] fanyuzheng: the PC is booting, powernowd error shows up - and then? [07:31] hjml: we don't support Automatix, and I don't really know [07:31] brew: doesn't look like something to worry about. Looks like you might have sent a requets to the webserver within the LAN [07:31] sandaru: what about modprobing ... i think i might have screwed up something there [07:31] scguy318: you're probably right, but it bothers me morally, i wish the dang thing would be cleared up one way or the other [07:31] yes ,laser88 [07:31] sandaru1: is there a way to reset that? [07:31] damianl: if you try to mount rw, what happens? [07:31] scguy318> ok...ill look on the net instant... [07:32] mudge: with the MAFIAA suing left and right, I'm afraid that wouldn't be cleared up real soon :( [07:32] fanyuzheng: What happens then? Is there something like fanyuzheng@ubuntu? [07:32] m0u5e: check /etc/modprobe.d/.. i'm not pretty much familiar with it [07:32] phuzion: apache was workin b4 :( [07:32] phuzion: idk [07:32] ubotu, zn | fanyuzheng [07:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about zn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:32] phuzion: what happened [07:32] ubotu, zh | fanyuzheng [07:32] fanyuzheng: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [07:32] fanyuzheng: the channel isn't dead [07:32] the blue screen,say ,you display is shut down ,please try again [07:33] fanyuzheng: to join #ubuntu-cn, type /join #ubuntu-cn [07:33] Where did my files go?

Why? find: /lib/firmware/2.6.22.9: No such file or directory [08:02] sandaru1: i gave my router a static IP in my home network, and then set that IP to be accessible from t3h internet [08:02] i've a bit problem with setting up the voice devices... is there any utility for that? there's many devices I can't see which one of them is microphone [08:02] sandaru1: yea [08:02] lspci | grep Mic [08:02] Anyone.. how are gutsy coming along since release regarding ATI ? [08:02] sandaru1: yea i have putty [08:03] feklee: is there a dependency you didn't install? [08:03] I don't think any one is going to touch that one [08:03] levander, Shouldn't dpkg complain then? Which dependency? [08:03] brew: try this, enter server address, then select "raw" as the protocol, then enter "80" for the port number [08:03] krodiak, no, it doesn't show anything [08:03] Cryoniq: I was just unable to get an ATI 9800 Pro to boot under Mythbuntu Gutsy [08:03] brew: also set putty to "don't close on exit" mode [08:03] lspci | grep audio [08:04] lspci | grep audio [08:04] 00:1e.2 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03) [08:04] feklee: I was guessing, it's just something you can check if you want to. [08:04] levander, how do I check that? [08:04] brew: once you get the window, you'll only see the cursor. enter "GET / HTTP/1.0" [08:04] brew: and two new lines [08:04] krodiak, 02:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CM8738 (rev 10) [08:04] feklee: I'd look for somewhere in the src deb that you downloaded that lists the dependencies. [08:04] Oddly if I formate it linux to ntfs linux has no problems with it, yet windows can't read it and works the same the other way around [08:04] all right [08:04] feklee: I really don't know, I never compile from source. [08:04] levander, It's the kernel. [08:04] krodiak, but how do I check the mic from it? === lukemob is now known as Lukemob [08:05] sandaru1: ehh.... was the window supposed to disappear? lol [08:05] I'm new in GNOME, sry [08:05] LukeMobits that a 5.1 card?? [08:05] krodiak, yes [08:05] brew: yes, it is.. that's why you should put it to "don't exit" mode [08:05] mmm [08:06] which ubuntu version r u running? [08:06] I have just created and documented a very friendly way of mounting disk image files using fuseiso... I placed instructions in the ubuntu help wiki here:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManageDiscImages#head-500a533759b6c727b3123e462c009296f5afc07b I would appreciate it if anyone would look them over and let me know what you think! [08:06] krodiak, 7.04 [08:06] levander: hmm.. sad they havent fixed those things yet.. I spent like 18 hours trying to get my ati 9800 pro working under gutsy after release and it worked worse or not at all than it ever did in feisty. So I went pclinuxos and things just work. But some things are not so nice, that worked in ubuntu regarding network features.. so im thinking going back to ubuntu. =( [08:07] brew: at the bottom of the window - "Close Window on Exit : never" [08:07] If someone is willing to actually test it out for me, that would be even better! [08:07] have u tried alsaconf [08:07] Cryoniq: just get a cheap nvidia card, $50. [08:07] maybe if u upgrade ur dirver [08:07] krodiak, i don't even know what's that [08:07] levander: that has striked me yeah... [08:07] Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Anyone know how to fix that error? [08:07] nice...! haha [08:07] Lukemob well, is the mic working [08:07] sandaru1: umm wuddafx just happened? lol it spewed HTML at me [08:08] of course [08:08] Cryoniq: head over to Newegg, they've got the best ecommerce software i've seen online, and good prices [08:08] sandaru1: nvm [08:08] levander: actually I do have a nvidia 6200 with turbo force edition here.. he he. [08:08] krodiak, when I try call over Skype (for example) no one can hear me [08:08] Cryoniq: time to open the case! [08:08] levander: in another box.. [08:08] how do i ger winrar? [08:08] if its working, whats the problem? [08:08] brew: then it's a problem with your browser :p [08:08] Cryoniq: is the other box a Windows box? [08:08] apt-get unrar [08:08] Cryoniq: you can switch them if it is [08:08] apt-get install unrar [08:08] sandaru1: gave me error 404.... and then "PHP/5.1.2 Server at outcast.brewster.net Port 80" [08:08] ToddEDM: u want rar and unrar [08:09] krodiak, the microphone is working, it's just not set correctly in the system... [08:09] levander: nope.. :) it's dual boot xp/gnu linux box. [08:09] thx [08:09] krodiak, done [08:09] levander: but that is no problem because it is only fiance using it. :) [08:09] Can someone help me? [08:09] brew: aha.. it's your apache config files.. you should put it to listen to all IP address [08:09] levander: nice thing with it is that it has passive cooling also. [08:10] smmagic, just ask your question... we don't know if we can help yet [08:10] sandaru1: help? *worried smile* [08:10] Laptop CRASH upon Fn-F4 in gutsy installed on HP pavilion ze2070ea. the only way out is brutaly shutdown using poweroff button. any ideas? [08:10] sudo reboot? [08:10] smmagic, oops I see your question above [08:10] # Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". How do I fix that? [08:10] Cryoniq: I had a passively cooled Realtek 6200 go bad on me, it took a monitor and a KVM switch with it, sending screwy signals through them. [08:10] brew: can you paste your config file to pastebin? === Oni-Dracula|2 is now known as Oni-Dracula [08:10] krodiak, ok, wait a bit... brb [08:10] smmagic, where are you seeing this? [08:10] sudo halt [08:10] df [08:10] sfgjihoykl [08:11] In a terminal when I type glxinfo | grep rendering [08:11] this hard drive is driving me crazy [08:11] brew: paste "sites-enabled" default config [08:11] levander: but seriously thinking.. I wasn't too impressed by gutsy some weeks ago. There was a lot of issues to say the least. [08:11] I just installed gutsy and now my sound doesn't work. everything worked fine with fiesty. anyone else have this problem? [08:11] Cryoniq: I had remembered that like five years before I bought it, they used to be a good company. But between that and me buying one, they had gone out of business like 3 months prior, and still had some product on the shelves. [08:11] sandaru1: err... i can copy it to my home folder, then ftp into my home folder, open it in notepad, then copy and paste... that work? [08:11] Cryoniq: issues? It's running fine here. [08:11] dows anybody know how to fix this BDMDA 0x24 freezing?? [08:11] its really annoying [08:11] anyone else having problems on gutsy with gcc? my gcc is generating bad code (32-bit x86) [08:11] smmagic, what are you trying to accomplish... just installing new graphics drivers or something [08:12] Trying to get direct rendering working [08:12] levander: have there some nice updates since release? [08:12] brew: yes, that'll do the job.. or just "sftp" [08:12] doviende: how do you mean bad code? [08:12] smmagic, what video adapter [08:12] dows anybody know how to fix this BDMDA 0x24 freezing?? [08:12] dows anybody know how to fix this BDMDA 0x24 freezing?? [08:12] rsk: segfaults after main returns [08:12] hi, which version of mame is actively maintained? i'm looking for a native gnome version [08:12] brew: use filezilla for "ssh+ftp" = "sftp" [08:12] rsk: same c code compiles on my debian machien with gcc 4.0, no weird segfault [08:12] Wait brb [08:12] rsk: the code is pretty simple too, just 2 functions and a short main [08:13] rsk: it's not segfaulting in my code itself [08:13] Cryoniq: The whole point of the Ubuntu release cycle is that they only do any signficant upgrades when there's a release, every six months. [08:13] dows anybody know how to fix this BDMDA 0x24 freezing?? [08:13] CommonClone: i had the same problem, i recompiled ALSA [08:13] dowe anybody know how to fix this BDMDA 0x24 freezing?? [08:13] Cryoniq: That way, you know your system is stable. No weird software being introduced between releases. [08:13] rsk: and if i generate assembly code with gcc on my gutsy machine, and then compile that asm code on my other machine, it'll segfault there too [08:13] So, video adapter? Like card [08:13] does anybody know how to fix this BDMDA 0x24 freezing?? [08:13] sandaru1: uhh... where.... might the config file be? lol [08:13] sandaru1: how do I go about doing that? [08:13] krodiak: An admin's gonna come in and tell you to stop repeating yourself. [08:14] doviende: have you asked in #gcc + [08:14] rsk: so it's definitely the gcc 4.1 on gutsy that's doing it [08:14] If so nvidia vanta [08:14] brew : /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default [08:14] hmm...good call, i'll go ask there [08:14] levander: aye. I was more thinking of if there was any patches coming out last few weeks. Like drivers [08:14] smmagic, yeah... your trying to get GLX and DRI working on your system... these are highly dependant upon the video card. [08:14] ok, so now I know everybody read this [08:14] nVidia vanta === lukemob is now known as Lukemob [08:14] Cryoniq: What drivers do you need? [08:14] Or avanta [08:14] Can't remember lol [08:14] smmagic, did you simply try installing the nvidia restricted drivers [08:14] I have compiz enabled, how can I stop windows snapping to the edges of other windows when I move them? [08:14] Yep.. [08:14] Are there any known-to-always-work wireless cards for Gutsy? [08:14] CommonClone: www.alsa-project.com [08:14] The error always comes with restricted drivers [08:15] levander: I was more interested in the drivers from ATI/AMD they been mentioning :) [08:15] I had fixed it before, but forgot how to [08:15] sandaru1: which conf file? [08:15] CommonClone: sorry it's ".org".. www.alsa-project.org [08:15] Actually, more than just Gutsy, because some Ethernet cards work for one release, then stop working the next. [08:15] Hi. I've installed Gutsy using the alternate install image of Ubuntu desktop edition. During boot I see lots of "Cannot allocate resource region <> of bridge" messages, where number ranges from 7-9. I don't know what this means. Or how to fix it. To see my complete dmesg check out my forum post at ubuntuforums, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=601828 .Could someone please... [08:15] ...help me? A tip might be enough if you don't have the time. [08:15] Cryoniq: I doubt they've upgraded those, but I haven't checked. [08:15] brew : paste everything in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ [08:15] scguy318: fsck didn't fix my files... [08:15] smmagic, you might simply need to modify the options line in your Xorg.conf file for GLX? [08:15] brew: if you didn't do anything, there is only one i guess [08:15] I did that last time [08:15] brew: "000-default" [08:15] Cryoniq: But, if ATI has released new drivers, you could install them yourself, not using APT. [08:15] But I forgot what I added [08:15] fsck.ext3 doesnt work with this error [08:16] spydez: weird, what filesystem? [08:16] sandaru1: 000-default [08:16] scguy318: ext3 [08:16] brew: yes [08:16] jisatsu, wobbly windows conflicts with snapping windows. disable snapping windows from compiz settings manager [08:16] Section "Extensions" [08:16] Option "Composite" "Disable" [08:16] EndSection [08:16] levander: as I recal a few weeks back, the problem with ati cards was something with agpgart to do. It seemed to me it had to do with something with the new kernel and the drivers between. [08:16] spydez: weird, you may wish to use testdisk [08:16] Something like that I think [08:16] Cryoniq: Also, check backports. Maybe they have the new ATI drivers? Backports is for new software that comes out after a release is made. [08:16] spydez: or Rescubuntu [08:16] gary_inNYC: cheers :) [08:16] scguy318: where do we post tutorials that we have successfully completed when theyre arnt any other tutorials [08:16] Cryoniq: I have no idea about afpart. [08:16] CommonClone: if you are not familiar with compiling.. you better try reinstall alsa [08:17] smmagic, is there a line under the Section Module that says Load "glx" and Load "dri"? [08:17] krodiak, thanks... but it didn't help :( [08:17] Laptop CRASH upon Fn-F4 in gutsy installed on HP pavilion ze2070ea. the only way out is brutaly shutdown using poweroff button. any ideas? [08:17] #join #ubuntuforums [08:17] Lukemob i thought u were done [08:17] i have this wiered problem with the gnome pannel , every time i login it hops into the up part of the screen , how can i solve that^ [08:17] ? === tuxmaniac is now known as Calvin [08:17] krodiak, again, when I tried to call over Skype, no one heard me [08:17] In xorg.conf? === Calvin is now known as tuxmaniac [08:17] Lukemob, waht r u trying to do excactly [08:17] levander: I think im going to get some sleep, and then switch this ati with the nvidia card so I get things rolling and do more productive stuff than I have past weeks.. :) [08:17] tnek, /join ;-) [08:17] smmagic, yes [08:18] krodiak, set up the microphone so I can use it [08:18] Nope.. [08:18] Okay Cryoniq, see you later. [08:18] :) [08:18] scguy318: will either of those check my hard drive's health? [08:18] pode crer... [08:18] ompaul: Yeah I know, typo :-/ [08:18] Lukemob: thought it was working [08:18] Should I add what I said befoer in? [08:18] Lukemob [08:18] spydez: they will attempt to recover files [08:18] hypercity: You can drag the panel and drop it to any edge of the screen you want. [08:18] krodiak, doesn't seem so :( [08:18] Lukemob maybe if u install skype [08:18] hypercity: After you do that, I think GNOME just remembers where you put it. [08:18] yea? [08:18] what will burn an .img file? [08:19] it fixed me and external mic driver once [08:19] woot, i think i successfully created my first dvd with dvd menu's using nothing but a text editor and terminal cmds :P [08:19] scguy318: The data being gone ain't that important. I've backups... I kinda wanna know why it left. :p [08:19] Ok [08:19] ToddEDM: right click on it, and choose the top option [08:19] smmagic, I'll pastebin my file... if you have the restricted drivers installed then all of the sections relating to the display should work for you [08:19] Lukemob so meybe it can help [08:19] I added it in [08:19] ToddEDM: Another option is Nautilus. [08:19] Restarting X [08:19] krodiak, so... reinstall it? [08:19] spydez: you can check syslog and co. perhaps [08:19] i've skype already installed [08:19] ToddEDM: just rename it to .iso or use DD if you will write it to a floppy [08:19] levander: thanks [08:19] spydez: for HDD health check, what hard drive? your hdd manfacturer should have a health checking tool [08:19] Motumbo: thx [08:19] hello [08:19] how good is automatix ? [08:19] ToddEDM: I love that feature, it's even easier than Windows burning. [08:19] sandaru1: how do u want me to send it? [08:20] levander: the prob is that is not staiing there after the relogin , i practily have 2 pannels on top of eachother in the up part of the screen [08:20] Well.. [08:20] timewriter: pretty good [08:20] Fixed lol [08:20] Lukemob: does the sound works well or is it very low? [08:20] brew: paste it into a pastebin [08:20] scguy318: I don't know... Whatever dell was using when it slapped this laptop together. [08:20] Motumbo do you suggest me to use it ?

The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [08:20] timewriter: Don't use automatix unless you need it. It's a foreign repository to the Canonical ones, and it may have conflicts with Canonical. [08:20] sandaru1: *lost* [08:20] i see [08:20] timewriter: Conflicts, no matter how good Automatix is.

[08:21] damn... 6AM here in brazil [08:21] is it necesarry to install the updates after installing ubuntu ? [08:21] Hi, anyone know if there is a way using to uninstall all packages on my system that aren't part of a fresh ubuntu installation, or hopefully see a list of all packages I installed, that didn't come with the distribution? [08:21] timewriter: you should... [08:21] timewriter: it depends [08:21] levander: it's a fresh install, i'm the only one with this prob? [08:21] timewriter: security reasons [08:21] but i want to pass over the kernel update [08:21] smmagic: They try to design GNOME software to have minimal features. To make it simpler, don't see tabs happening. [08:21] timewriter, if you are on line, security updates ; yes [08:21] smmagic, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43228/ [08:22] spydez: mm, fsck is supposed to be it, but I guess you could use something like SpinRite (find a copy in P2P or w/e) [08:22] I fixed it [08:22] i mean, .deb packages.. that are in the repositories, but that don't come installed on a fresh ubuntu install [08:22] sandaru1: lol neat [08:22] timewriter: then you dont have to select the kernel update [08:22] Thanks for helping [08:22] sandaru1: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43230/ [08:22] i unselect it but he wants to install it anyway [08:22] timewriter: you should really update [08:23] ok [08:23] im instaloing world of warcraft now [08:23] want to see how it works [08:23] hello all [08:23] timewriter: installing with wine?

[08:23] hello, destinyking [08:23] Are there any known-to-always-work wireless cards for Ubuntu? Like, that have worked for a long time, and won't stop working next time I upgrade? [08:23] smmagic, yeah I read back... oh and please get in the habit of replying directly to the person your talking too... just put their name somewhere in your file so your comment gets highlighted. TAB will complete if the name is just a pain to type. [08:24] brew: can you paste /etc/apache2/ports.conf as well? [08:24] spydez: np [08:24] smmagic, in your file -> in your comment [08:24] confuzed K, sorry [08:24] brew: you won't have to download it to your local machine. try "cat /etc/apache2/ports.conf" [08:24] if it works fine , i will quit on microsoft [08:24] ive had enough [08:24] you better quit... [08:24] linux its so much better [08:25] Does anyone know what it means if you see messages like this during boot? (the last message is repeated with different numbers for region and bridge) [08:25] [ 20.591870] PCI: Using ACPI for IRQ routing [08:25] [ 20.591873] PCI: If a device doesn't work, try "pci=routeirq". If it helps, post a report [08:25] [ 20.591877] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0 [08:25] smmagic, much better... then I would have been able to scan the history much more quickly! Actually I would have seen your comment through my transparent windows (I love compiz!) [08:25] would anyone know how to get compiz to automatically group certain windows based on their titles? for instance, I want it to always select two certain GIMP windows as tabs.

[08:25] sandaru1: " [08:25] scguy318: Hm, so I should just ignore them? :-/ [08:25] there are a lot of errors [08:25] sandaru1: i h8 this IRC client... [08:26] timewriter: you probably haven't yet installed build-essential [08:26] tnek: yes [08:26] tnek: My blind guess is that you have an IRQ conflict? [08:26] i have [08:26] rico, you want them linked so when you click on one to focus, it brings them all to the forground? [08:26] used it to compile ati drivers [08:26] levander: How would I solve one of those? Or do you also think I should ignore it? [08:26] levander: i believe they're ignorable, and you can't really have an IRQ conflict I believe [08:26] the xchat version on Gutsy repos , is buggy [08:26] brew: everything seems to be in the right way.. can you paste the 404 error? [08:26] same bug on windows too [08:26] tnek: No idea, I'm just guessing based on the error message that that's what it is. [08:26] or , its my hardware [08:27] HW [08:27] tnek: whats the problem anyway? [08:27] scguy318: probably just few small problems of the "hardware discovery" [08:27] timewriter, which version of Ubuntu? [08:27] well it seems nobody reads what i type [08:27] Gutsy , ompaul [08:27] tnek: Yeah, scguy may be right, if it's not causing a problem in operation, don't worry about it. [08:27] 7.10 [08:27] me again :( [08:27] how can i reset gnome pref to defoults with gconf-ediditor or something? i can't remember the shell comand [08:27] :) [08:27] the xchat 2.8.5 or so [08:27] ot maybe im being ignored [08:27] tnek: I don't understand a lot of messages down in the system logs. [08:27] hahaha [08:27] the tabs wont work if u set them on the right side [08:27] scguy318: None yet. I've just installed a command-line based system. I thought it would be best to solve error messages as they turn up. So they don't pile up later on and turn into a "visible error". [08:27] sandaru1: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43231/ [08:28] and xchat will stuck [08:28] confuzed: when I do win+s on each window and hit win+t.. they get tabbed. I was wondering if that can happen automatically without my intervention [08:28] but its their bug , or , my hardware`s [08:28] tnek: the kernel init messages are not for your eyes :P [08:28] levander: Me neither... === Saied_ is now known as Saied [08:28] because i have the same error in windows [08:28] scguy318: Hm, okey....

[08:28] pic4ls [08:29] picassa [08:29] hello [08:29] timewriter, so something happens that is common to hardware on more than one platform it is hardly the software [08:29] Bonster: The two ones I've seen for Gnome in Ubuntu are gthumb and F-Spot. I assume they both support captions. [08:29] i know [08:29] rico, tabbed? I guess I'm confused... do you mean they get stacked in your taskbar? [08:29] also, any word on Gutsy having alsa 1.0.15 on the main repositories? [08:29] brb [08:29] Does anyone know how to change the default console font? [08:29] i am rico [08:29] rico: You can check with "apt-cache show alsa" or on packages.ubuntu.com. [08:30] rico, it has whatever it has, it will not get newer versions - wait for or work on Hardy [08:30] how do check for WoL on my network card? [08:30] brew: http://outcast.brewster.net/? [08:30] levander, still is 1.0.14 -- while ALSA 1.0.15 has been out for a while now :) [08:30] ompaul, work on hardy? [08:30] how come i can't play videos on you tube [08:30] rico: Sometimes backports gets a new version of software in an older release. You can check on packages.ubuntu.com. [08:30] rico, next version of Ubuntu [08:30] !motu | rico [08:30] rico: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU [08:31] !flash | private0941xx [08:31] private0941xx: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [08:31] rico, ahh... never played with that compiz module... I only add one at a time until I either use it by habit or decide it's a waste of time... haven't used that one yet [08:31] scriptha, is it a add on network card? [08:31] okay. :) [08:31] rico: Is there a specific reason you need that .01 release? If you don't have a specific reason, just leave it alone. [08:31] private0941xx, you probably don't have the adobe flash plugin installed [08:31] No idea :$ [08:31] sandaru1: its just somethin i set up with the router... [computername].brewster.net [08:31] levander, my sound doesn't work, and word has it that 1.0.15 supports my card. [08:32] rico: That's a reason. Check backports. [08:32] I've tried many things already including compiling ALSA from source, no luck :/ [08:32] I also tried linux-backports-modules [08:32] brew: try typing the ip address [08:32] ...which some people (with my same intel sound chip) reported to work, but unfortunately not for me. [08:32] brew: i can't find anything wrong with your config files [08:32] rico: Sometimes they put stuff in backports by request, Google around for the backports project and see if you can put a request in? [08:32] sandaru1: i did [08:33] sandaru1: it gave me that [08:33] hmm, i'll see. [08:33] that didn't help at all [08:33] scriptha, well usually wol is something you enable on the mother board unless you bought your network card as an add on card [08:33] brew, does the router pass on packets to that machine or is your ip "192.168.something" [08:33] i can't see you tube videos [08:33] hi all i am from a emacs in gobuntu...the gobuntu installation didnt give me the regular gui..now how can i install the gui myself, how can i know what prevented gobuntu from regular gui installation? [08:33] private0941xx: install flash [08:33] i got ubuntu 7.10 [08:33] !restricted | private0941xx [08:33] private0941xx: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [08:33] scriptha, but these days most all motherboards come with Network cards so I would look in the bios [08:33] spine55, how do I know if it's an add on card? It's about 5 years old btw.. [08:34] private0941xx, pebcak [08:34] It's not one from these days xD [08:34] hi how do i change the boot loaded to load windows first [08:34] scriptha: Look on the back of your computer. You can tell what's on the motherboard by the location of the ports on the back. [08:34] i already tried [08:34] scriptha, well open your pc and see if the network card is sticking out of a pci slot. I would think its a integrated card [08:34] brew: out of suggestions :( [08:34] but its all in code [08:34] viktor_: you can manually edit /boot/grub/menu.lst with that selection setting or use GrubEd script on Ubuntu Forums [08:34] ompaul: the machine's IP is 192.168.0.XXX in my network... idk why i can't http it [08:34] anyone know where i can get a virtual cd-rom for linux? [08:34] why cant i open and edit /etc/x11/xorg.conf ? [08:35] edward: fuseiso [08:35] scriptha: If it's write up there by your Keyboard/Mouse PS/2 ports, it's on the motherboard. [08:35] well ubuntu to be exact [08:35] sandaru1: well thx 4 ur help! [08:35] is there a patch or something for the md devices failing to stop at shutdown -bug? [08:35] why, that was fast thanks scguy318 [08:35] sandaru1: can u try http'ing it? [08:35] scriptha, if its attached to your motherboard then you know its integrated and I would start looking in your bios for a Wake on Lan Setting [08:35] edward, I just created this... test it out for me: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManageDiscImages#head-500a533759b6c727b3123e462c009296f5afc07b [08:35] Found a bug report on my issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/64811 [08:35] sudo apt-get install gdm will install gui? === ubuntu is now known as me123 [08:35] it's next to my printerport [08:35] brew: have to go now.. srry..

[08:36] not home build, compaq :/ [08:36] edward, my solution uses fuseiso... but integrates it with your desktop so your images mount like any removeable device [08:36] me123423232, its X11 [08:36] not x11 [08:36] yes still X11 [08:36] aeshyamae: Umm, there's probably supposed to be a gobuntu-desktop package that's the meta package for all the GUI stuff in Gobuntu. [08:36] then its integrated [08:36] aeshyamae: That's how all the other Ubuntu distributions work. [08:37] me123423232, and use sudo [08:37] me123423232, did you try sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

[08:40] i tried flash player [08:40] and it wont let me [08:40] edward, is it the name of the script "userisomount.sh" that [08:40] aeshyamae: My guess is yes, that's how all the other distros work. But, I've never used Gobuntu. I'm surprised that any install of it did not install a GUI. So, I'm a little confused. [08:40] edward, that confused you... I might have to change it [08:41] brew, kind of you need the router to forward packets that has to do with your router not a Ubuntu thing log onto the producers website and read how to forward packets - also be aware that some ISPs stop traffic access 80 [08:41] i try sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and get, then gedit opens and says Could not open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. [08:41] aeshyamae: If the machine is not mission critical, and you don't mind losing your work on it, and having to do another install, you could try it. [08:41] Convert CloneCD Images to ISO [08:41] me123423232: "ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [08:41] private0941xx, after installing flash you have to quit all firefoxes and restart firefox [08:41] can someone help try to install video and sound? [08:41] i try sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , then gedit opens and says Could not open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. [08:41] ok [08:41] i don't think its the right url [08:41] me123423232: Maybe the file got deleted? [08:41] how do i do that [08:41] levander: i have tried installing twice and the same result [08:41] hehe im really slow right now, let me wake up a bit [08:42] me123423232: Or, maybe no one has read permission on it? Paste the output of that ls -l command into the channel. [08:42] edward, no no no... if you clicked on my link it should have brought you to the bottom of that page... last entry that tells how to Integrate Disk Image Mounting/Unmounting into Gnome (Nautilus) [08:42] levander: i am now downloading the heavy gobuntu-desktop package [08:42] ompaul: It was workin a month ago, but after i rebooted my machine, it stopped workin.... i can ssh, and ftp, but http won't work [08:42] me123423232, so thats good you should do gksu and the path is right so I guess you got a typo on your command line - that is all that can be said about it [08:42] aeshyamae: Is it going to bother you if "sudo apt-get install gobuntu-desktop" messes up your machine, and you have to do a 3rd reinstall?

[09:04] and i get other xorg.conf files [09:05] ubuntu1234567, you are not - it is not working --- you lost your X you got no data in that file so I suggest a reinstall [09:05] this is what pisses me off, it tells me to open it with what "archives manager" then this folder is there and i open it and all this folder all they have is code [09:05] I installed vpn connection manager(ppp genric), and now the wireless option is gone from the network setup screen.. I tried to uninstall the vpn pack again but still doesnt work.. when I click the network icon up in the right corner there's still a vpn connection option there.. When I do lspci the network device is still there.. [09:05] smmagic, the slow channels have the most knowledgeable people on the topic... but often it's hours before anyone replies or even talks in those channels... you need to be patient [09:05] anyone had problems with poor sound quality in Amarok? I'm running 7.10 with the gnome desktop. Is there a relevant irc channel I could ask this in? [09:05] ubuntu1234567: i think the proper syntax is gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:05] anyone been able to get ubuntu working smoothly on old via 82cxxA/B chipsets? [09:05] anyone know what this means "EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended" [09:06] How do i see the ubuntu calendar artwork [09:06] i get same output scguy [09:06] !langauge | private0941xx [09:06] private0941xx: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. [09:06] Reng: it means you've mounted the file system a whole lot, run fsck [09:06] Reng, that's a routine maintenance cycle [09:06] spartan049 is the sound quality good in other media apps? like sound juicer, totem, or rhythm box? [09:06] Reng: do that from a LiveCD [09:06] Reng, ext2/3 are checked every X mounts [09:06] like 36 mounts iirc [09:07] and i get other xorg.conf files like xorg.conf.20071026033316 [09:07] leo_rock2: 30ish [09:07] okay.... i have some xmms skins downloaded to folder /fjkwsejel/fldjsflks/ajkfdoa/XMMS. how can i symlink the files in the folder to /home/sjovan/.xmms/Skins ? [09:07] is that an error? [09:07] can somenoe on gutsy please run "gcc --version" and tell me if they have gcc version 4.1.3? [09:07] Reng, nope [09:07] starcannon...it's perfectly fine in other apps. Also, the media files themselves are fine, too. Amarok introduces clicks and pops that aren't normally there. It's using the xine engine. [09:07] am trying to do a clean install, in manuam partion I have cjhoses my old partion to be re installed [09:07] levander: where can i look incase there is any problem installing the gui for gobunutu?

[09:07] but am gettin a no root file systeme is defined message [09:07] could some one help please [09:08] Reng, it will do it automatically [09:08] Reng: nope, it just asks you to check if everything is ok w/ the partition. [09:08] ubuntu1234567, those are ones you edited already - so you could try sudo cp OneOfThem xorg.conf and restart it but if that fails you got no real hope other than to install again ;-) [09:08] oic [09:08] confuzed, bah im not sure what happened, didn't work [09:08] thanks [09:08] bah! [09:08] !wireless | Cyber_Stalker [09:08] Cyber_Stalker: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [09:08] spartan049 not sure, I'd probably try Alsa, then OSS and see if one or the other made a difference [09:08] thnx though :) [09:08] doviende: yes, 4.1.3 20070929 [09:08] Hi, i have a question. Is it possible to install a Lamp server on ubuntu with the server cd. I'have just installed the " normal " ubuntu [09:09] confuzed, oooooooooo there it is, [09:09] ubuntu1234567, you might get one of them to become the xorg.conf and it ___might____ work [09:09] Daan1992_: the server and desktop versions are nearly identical [09:09] !lamp | Daan1992_ [09:09] Daan1992_: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [09:09] sjovan: could you do me a favour and download http://www.emmett.ca/~plypkie/gcc-problems/permutations.c then do "gcc -S permutations.c"? this will produced permutations.s which is assembly code [09:09] confuzed, i was looking in the open with other application menu ... I got it, .. im going to test it now [09:09] Daan1992_: the only difference is what packages are on the cd(ALL are on the web also) and whats installed by default [09:09] sjovan: then stick it somewhere where i can look at it? [09:09] I am running Ubuntu 7.10 LiveCD. Without installing or writing any data to hard disk, is it possible to set up applicatons that aren't included on the livecd so they can run using memory? [09:09] edward did it mount? [09:10] ok [09:10] How do I use Ubuntu Calendar [09:10] starcannon: Yeah, that was my thinking but it's no different. Also, I can't get the prog to let me switch to a different playback engine. I guess I'll have to poke around on the amarok forum. I've yet to find a program that really comes through as a stable itunes alt [09:10] Where is my home made Emblems stored (In Ubuntu 7.10)?

[09:11] sjovan: the same C code compiles fine on debian, but i think ubuntu gcc is broken [09:11] clever_: yep, that's what I want. Alright, I'll figure it out then [09:11] edward, hmm... you right-clicked on the .bin file and selected "mount disk image"?

I find the simplicity of gnome more appealing than KDE. I've dabbled with ubuntu off and on since 6.xx but this is the first time I've used it almost exclusively [09:16] I think the my update is done, how do I check which version I'm running ?

I think I know the problem... let me test a few things [09:17] doviende: so basically the packet i downloaded is obsolete or the project itself is obsolete, because all my libs are update [09:17] so there is no way i can replace the xorg.conf file with a backup one? [09:17] minty: open a terminal and type cat /etc/issue [09:18] confuzed, i got an attempt to log in failed [09:18] is it possible to create a symlink of just the content of a folder? [09:18] inversekinetix, I like being able to fix stuff when its broke, I like not being infected everytime i go somewhere naughty, I like the community, I like the philosophy [09:18] waffles_: you can't reenable it because smth is broken (that's all i can say w/ the information provided) [09:18] Cyber_Stalker, why the redhat stuff? this is not that distro [09:18] ompaul: thats what it gave me lol [09:18] what is smth? [09:18] something [09:18] starcannon: I've been reluctant to switch because of a couple programs, but vmware is making it more of a possibility. I don't think I can completely go exclusive though [09:18] jonasj: thats great thanks [09:18] knights: nothing prevents *a* text based installer in theory from just copying over the files like the live cd installer, but the installer on the alternate cd is the debian installer, and that works with deb packages [09:19] cause i have /home/sjovan/installs and updates/Eye candy/XMMS <--- folder with some skins, and i want to symlink that contet to /home/sjovan/.xmms/Skins [09:19] confuzed, don't tell me my, .bin file was crap to begin with hehe [09:19] boontoo: ya, that's a possibility. hard to tell without reading the code, but that would be troublesome. i'd check on their specific website or ask them [09:19] boontoo: i don't think it's an ubuntu problem [09:19] ompaul: any ideas? i plugged it in is all and its giving me that [09:19] spartan049 yeah i'm in a place in my life where I can, but who knows what will happen after college is done, could find that I have to put winders on a partition somewhere for work [09:19] doviende: thats comforting do you program? [09:19] edward, it's working? [09:19] anyone? :( [09:19] does anyone know where to look for adding packages to "community supported"? [09:19] boontoo: ya, and right now i think ubuntu's gcc has some bugs in it [09:19] edward, oh nevermind... did you logout and back in? [09:19] wow, i can't believe i was about to not try Gutsy and go straight back from Vista to openSUSE -- so glad i stopped by [09:20] leo_rockw: could it have to do with my 2nd monitor i just plugged in? [09:20] boontoo: you running gutsy? [09:20] Cyber_Stalker, na I offered the web page which tells you the little steps and whatever the best way to get any piece of kit going [09:20] edward, I forgot that you need to do that in order to actually become part of the fuse group [09:20] doviende: yeh, feel like making a program that can mount mds /mdf files? lol [09:20] starcannon: I'm a music major and that type of software just isn't mature enough on linux [09:20] jonasj: You see I've just had the live CD 7.10 installer freeze on me during install. It got as far as 'detecting filesystems' then I had to reset. Did that when I tried again too so now I'm downloading the alternate installer which seems silly having to download the same set of packages again just for a different installer [09:20] I installed vpn connection manager(ppp genric), and now the wireless option is gone from the network setup screen.. I tried to uninstall the vpn pack again but still doesnt work.. when I click the network icon up in the right corner there's still a vpn connection option there.. When I do lspci the network device is still there.. [09:20] doviende: ive just started with python but im far off =( [09:20] edward, CTRL-ALT-BS should accomplish that as well [09:20] confuzed, i tried to unmount the image but it didn't work [09:21] knights: yes [09:21] boontoo: can you do me a quick favour and download http://www.emmett.ca/~plypkie/gcc-problems/permutations.c ? [09:21] so there is no way i can replace the xorg.conf file with a backup one? [09:21] edward, don't worry about it now... we can clean it in a minute [09:21] k [09:21] boontoo: then do "gcc -S permutations.c" to make an assembly code file called permutations.s [09:21] my ccsm settings dont work! why? [09:21] waffles_: i don't use compiz... it could be. why don't you undo what you did and see if that helps your cause? [09:21] knights: but of course, the right fix for that would be fixing the live cd installer not to freeze on you -- not including a separate installer on the disc :-) [09:21] then poste that on pastebin for me :) [09:22] leo_rockw: how do i undo? [09:22] confuzed, usermod -a -G fuse edward root [09:22] waffles_: unplug the monitor maybe [09:22] ubuntu1234567 I'd ctrl-F1, log in, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf, sudo cp /backup/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart [09:22] confuzed, those are the groups i setup [09:22] ubuntu1234567, you tried - try one last thing umount the device and do this - dosfsck /dev/whateveritis and see how you get on - but it can rip the files you got to pieces but it is all you got left so before you umount (eject) do df and check out what /dev/ the device is [09:22] can anyone get to http://www.howtoforge.com/ ? for me, it sends me to imageshack.. im thinking its a DNS problem? [09:23] jonasj: I dunno, I just trust text based installers more. Not having X and all those extra layers- less chance of error with a simple text based installer [09:23] if any one has any experiance with wifi could you please help me, this is my issue: http://rafb.net/p/RiIJ8I62.html [09:23] spartan049 yeah, I'm surprised your not using a mac for that actually, though MS has some nice apps for it as well [09:23] josh_: i see howtoforge properly [09:23] edward, try and sudo that command [09:23] doviende: davidnrika@david-laptop:~$ gcc -C Unsaved\ Document\ 1.c [09:23] gcc: GCC does not support -C or -CC without -E [09:23] starcannon: macs==$$$ [09:23] knights: yes -- but that means having to use a different disc, and that probably won't change [09:24] boontoo: gcc -S [09:24] doviende: how very odd, it works right on all but this computer (within my network) [09:24] my bad [09:24] edward, I am correcting the guide now... and root doesn't need to be part of fuse... it won't hurt, but it's unnecessary [09:24] doviende: yeah it cleared [09:24] boontoo: can you poste the .s file in pastebin? [09:24] knights: it would be nice with a textbased installer on the live cd, but it would have to be written as a text version of the current graphical installer, i think, not as a modification of the current alternate cd installer [09:24] spartan049 yeah, but they last awhile to, but I hear ya, you can build a PC of equivalent power for a 1/3 the cost [09:24] !paste [09:24] 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) [09:25] doviende: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43233/ [09:25] boontoo, you keep doing that - just keep your browser [09:25] ompaul: HAHA ive been found out [09:25] lol [09:25] jonasj: Yes, that'd be a great addition to the desktop CD [09:25] Can anyone tell me where my home made Emblems are stored in Ubuntu 7.10? [09:26] Wikzo: since you asked so many times now i'm curious... what are Emblems? [09:26] Wikzo I can't even find my own files half the time with twice that much info lol [09:26] scguy318: just when they found a fix for liero I get a different error [09:26] how come i can't open compiz? [09:26] <--- messy [09:26] will try [09:26] levander: should i do any configuration as i installed gobuntu-desktop or can ijust go for a restart after that? [09:26] I installed vpn connection manager(ppp genric), and now the wireless option is gone from the network setup screen.. I tried to uninstall the vpn pack again but still doesnt work.. when I click the network icon up in the right corner there's still a vpn connection option there.. When I do lspci the network device is still there.. [09:27] edward, you still around? [09:28] leo_rockw: This is an Emblem. http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2006/10/23/find-files-with-an-emblem [09:28] Another thing that should be added to ubuntu is a lightweight window manager like fluxbox or icewm set up with rox filer. This woukld only require a few more megabyte of space on the CD and would be very useful to many and reduce the need for separate, lightweight distros like fluxbuntu, xubuntu etc. [09:28] FN-F4 cause laptop (HP pavilion) to block completely in gutsy. any ideas?

File a wishlist bug on launchpad, or join #ubuntu-motu [09:29] Curley_Sue, perhaps searching "launchpad.net" for that bug might be of interesting [09:29] boontoo: aha, thanks a bunch. your gcc is busted too [09:29] Thanks soundray! [09:29] boontoo: so it's a general gutsy problem with gcc [09:29] confuzed, yah [09:29] time for me to file a bug i think [09:29] doviende: glad its not you, be sure to report the bug [09:29] leo_rockw: I use them as tags for my school work [09:30] Wikzo: ok... i'm willing to risk they are in a hidden folder in ~ [09:30] so i guess it works, but not all too sure, what should i do about the groups [09:30] why can't i?

I forgot an sudo in the guide [09:39] edward, so you can see the content of your .bin now [09:39] Does the command "sudo apt-get install samba" mean that it's going to download that from internet? [09:39] smmagic don't go crazy with your xorg.conf file though, and before you change anything back it up somewhere safe so that you can revert if you need to [09:40] i guess when you put user1 user2 user3 really confused me i had to fill in something else, u can only do one user at a time [09:40] confuzed, no [09:40] anyone know?

I tried to uninstall the vpn pack again but still doesnt work.. when I click the network icon up in the right corner there's still a vpn connection option there.. When I do lspci the network device is still there.. [10:05] * leo_rockw is away: Ausente por ahora.

[10:05] how to do so that some windozs always open in negative colors with ccsm ? [10:05] kahrytan: i use kde ;-) [10:06] Hi all! [10:06] leo_away, oh yes. the manager that keeps sucking up resources [10:06] c0Ld yea its pretty bad page [10:06] Hey guys, I am defragging before I install unbuntu as a dual boot, and its taking forever, and I've lost like 7 or 8GB's of space im noticing as I check my C drive...why is that ? [10:06] kahrytan: i have core duo and 2gb of ram ;-) [10:07] does defragging eat up that much space or something, I dont get it [10:07] leo_away, KDE is bloated but not even close to Windows bloat [10:07] where can I find cool desktop themes for emerald and icons? [10:07] kahrytan: i never liked gnome... i've been using kde since the beginning [10:07] can you resize a fat32 disc with qtparted with out loosing anydata on the disc [10:07] Does anybody know how to make the apt-get command work through a proxy? [10:07] kahrytan: anywhooo, i'm sleeping... haha [10:08] how to install Gtk 2.10 ? [10:08] leo_away, I like genome because it is more resource friendly. [10:08] Gunn defragging does just that, it defragments the drive, it shouldn't cause the files to use more space, it should just put all the empty spaces out at the end of the drive if I understand correctly [10:08] SpikePT gnomelook.org [10:08] well I keep checking my C drive and the size keeps doing down and down [10:08] starcannon: Thanks [10:08] anytime SpikePT [10:08] started at 55.5GB and im down to 48.4 after like 5 hours [10:08] hello, I've got a question please [10:09] I need to re-install my ALSA drivers on Gusty... how can I go about doing this? [10:09] !git [10:09] !gtk [10:09] I've done all what I can for 3 complete days now to get my microphone to work but I couldn't [10:09] Gunn ouch 5 hours of defragging and your not done? something wrong me thinks, thats not a massive drive [10:09] Sorry, I don't know anything about git - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:09] GTK is the !GIMP toolkit, which forms the base of !GNOME and is used by many applications to provide a !GUI [10:09] I havent defragged in years, lol [10:10] wtf is git? [10:10] maybe I'll just cancel it and install ubuntu dual boot...I just figured I should defrag first [10:10] ? [10:10] I thought ext3 didn't need much defragging [10:10] baconNeggs: something like svn/cvs [10:10] baconNeggs: a version control system [10:10] starcannon: the desktop themes i'm looking for are the GTK2.x ones? [10:10] SpikePT your using Beryl with Emerald right? [10:10] But I am not sure why the hell it keeps lowering my disk space [10:10] anyone, please? [10:10] rsk: svn and cvs are centralised vcs, git is a decentralised one [10:11] starcannon: I know I have Emerald installed, I don't know if I have Beryl... [10:11] telmich: that's why i said 'something like' [10:12] levander: hi ping [10:12] should I just cancel the defrag and go ahead with the install ? [10:12] rsk: well, like a velo is similar to a car, yes [10:12] geez. [10:12] SpikePT: beryl is old crap... get ubuntu 7.10 and run compiz (as it is default) [10:12] why do i even come here [10:12] SpikePT i'd look under the Beryl and Compiz stuff, also keep in mind you'll find themes scattered all over the place on gnomelook, some contributors don't always post them in the correct categories, but Beryl should net you some good results [10:12] sjovan: I have ubuntu 7.10..... [10:13] starcannon: Ok, thanks. [10:13] SpikePT: then you have compiz by defualt [10:13] does anybody know if xubuntu's cd a live cd? [10:13] SpikePT yeah what sjovan said [10:14] I, looking at my programs menu after running a restore using AptOnCD. Althought the restore process went through none of the applications are in the program menu at this point. How would I install these restored files.? Is there a command Im missing? [10:14] just realized I never put beryl back on since I upgraded... don't miss it much really, sliding wall is cool anyway [10:15] I miss the "exposé" effect [10:15] Hi, does anyone know of a good hardware support chatroom? I am having some problems with my mobo [10:16] Balachmar whats happening with your mobo? I'll help if I can, or pass if I cant [10:16] SpikePT: all you need to do is: go to synaptic ---> search for compiz. install Compiz configuration settings manager pack [10:17] starcannon: After changing powersupply (because to old one was broken) it won't wake on RTC alarm [10:17] sjovan: I got it installed in the end.. :) had to install 7.04 and then upgrade... [10:17] Anyone remember with Beryl you could get small screenshots of all your apps no matter what desktop they were on? [10:17] starcannon: Which is terrible, since it is a HTPC, which should wake on a certain time to record a program [10:17] Since moving to latest ubuntu and compiz-fusion I can't figure out how to get that behaviour again...previously bumping the upper right hand corner. [10:17] SpikePT: then preferences ---> appearance ---> visual effects ---> extra [10:17] bloony: that's good :) [10:17] starcannon: also it won't boot from keyboard or mouse. I even have to press the powerbutton twice! [10:18] SpikePT: then preferences ---> appearance ---> visual effects ---> custom * [10:18] Balachmar, near the battery on the motherboard will be a jumper likely labeled cmos or something, check your manual, you'll jumper that to clear the settings, do this with POWER OFF, power up, boot up, load bios settings to your liking and things will likely work again [10:18] That was for me sjovan? [10:18] sjovan: yupp.. but now theres something fucked up with the wireless.. I installed a vpn manager and the wireless option disapeard.. [10:18] starcannon: ok going to try that now [10:19] zonezero: no, i don't think so [10:19] ok [10:19] Balachmar do it with the computer unplugged and the caps drained [10:19] hello. I just compiled a module (et131x, for ethernet) and everything worked fine after make modules_install, depmod -a, and modprobe. After a reboot, it works too. My question: I didn't insert the module name in /etc/modules, so how is it automatically loaded? (I had to add modules names in /etc/modules as I was under gentoo) [10:20] Does anyone know how to remove titlebar from deskbar applet? [10:21] kahrytan: no, but i saw a howto some secs ago. just w8 mate :) [10:21] chickenFuego isn't hal just lookin for them in the folder full of modules? [10:21] HI , I previously downloaded Amarok on am AMD64 install and then ran AptOnCD to restore the contents to a cd now I just restored the contents. When I go to synaptic to install AMarok on the machine it still says that it has to download 10 MB :(. Do I have to do something to install the files in my cache? [10:22] kahrytan: this url should help you out :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=77694&highlight=xmms+theme [10:23] hi [10:23] sjoerd, that has nothing to do with deskbar [10:23] having my beer, my last night pizza ... :~ [10:23] 8AM here [10:23] hiya PanePaladin [10:23] something is using the harddisk all the time, and I see no reason for it. How can I find out what process is doing it? [10:24] I looking for a webcam plug-in or something lookalike to pidgin... [10:24] joerlend, from my past experience I've never found a way to find it out [10:24] it looks like the linux kernel doesn't give such information [10:25] joerlend i'd assume its using alot of cpu to yeah? [10:25] Anyone of you have tested or using webcam application? [10:25] starcannon, no. [10:25] kahrytan: a sorry... i though you said desktop. my bad [10:25] oh... [10:25] A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept. [10:25] joerlend, the same happened to me [10:26] joerlend, btw, if you figure it out, plz let me know. this is an ancient question I have :| [10:26] web_knows, I'll keep that in mind :) [10:27] thx :) [10:28] levander: hi [10:28] levander: hi i got the gui in gobuntu ok but dont have the window borders now..so cant do window navigation..

Is there any reason that my computer keeps freezing up and getting extreme lag?. ive only had it installed for 2 days and this is my first linux OS [10:29] its not an answer but it might get you on the right track [10:29] First experience of a linux os* [10:30] Mmjack what hardware are you running? [10:31] starcannon: I am sorry to say that your suggestion didn't work [10:31] Balachmar sorry :( [10:31] Mmjack: bad hardware? have you run memtest 86? have you cheked gpu/cpu/motherboard temperatues? [10:31] starcannon, thanks, but I was talking about reads and writes. It's kinda important, because I run several virtual machines on the same disk. The seemingly unnecessary IO causes the systems to slow down considerably. [10:32] starcannon: I also think it is weird that I need to press the power button twice in order to get it on [10:33] !cgdw [10:33] Sorry, I don't know anything about cgdw - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:33] !find cgdw [10:33] Balachmar yeah, your symptoms sounded like an unhappy cmos, and still do, not sure what to do next, I suppose you could try flashing your bios to an update or even reflashing the version you have and see if that doesn't clear it up for you [10:33] Package/file cgdw does not exist in gutsy [10:33] could anyone help me with this issue? -> in my box (ubuntu gutsy + kde + ati + aiglx), some apps don't run, exiting with this error: Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0". [10:33] :/ [10:33] What's CGDW? [10:33] i've a problem with the latest update of compiz from gutsy-update. it makes the screen be blank after some switches from two x server screens and it's extremely annoying as everytime i've to restart the computer as everything (ttys included) except the second x server (which is from another computer so useless to terminate processes on the computer which i'm using). [10:34] starcannon: Yes, that sounds like an idea [10:34] Is there anyone using their webcam [10:34] joerlend nod, I just did a quick google, not really sure what to search for, i've never had a hd go wack like that yet *knock on wood* [10:34] webcam who uses webcams these days [10:35] lol [10:35] :) [10:35] kinda not kidding [10:35] gogeta lol nod, i'm still waiting for the ascii cam :) [10:35] most people just plug in there dcams [10:35] starcannon, it's not very much. If I was running a normal desktop system, it wouln't matter, say for the sound it makes.

I want it to spit the raw html out to the command line [11:04] knifepoint add it to launch o startup then [11:04] so you want source [11:04] i built my own binary for fuppes and ffmpeg as per the instructions they gave at: http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/wiki/index.php/Compiling_on_Linux however whenever fuppes attempts to transcode a file.... splat! segmentation fault =/ [11:04] gogeta: ohhhhhhh thanks for that one champ :D [11:05] pipe it to a txt file instead or open it with VI or kate or what ever editor [11:05] hello. [11:05] :-D [11:05] Alyxander: yes, kinda like a leech, I'm using it as a snippet in gedit to load a template [11:05] demon012: are you using ubuntu -dev for the build dependencies?

[11:22] hey, I had a working lamp stack, but now it just hangs and won't load....any ideas on how I can narrow this problem down or fix it?

But I have never come across of it so I don't know how to use it [11:33] vegpuff you sent it already hehe [11:33] vmlinuz`: it would help to know what the error message is. Put it up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org if there's a lot of text.

[11:34] Alyxander, i don't have any specific dns setup, [11:34] knifepoint i think its just how the program is all my other ones are working fine [11:34] teto: you can probably fix this by linking /bin/sh to /bin/bash. Use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' to do so. [11:35] Alyxander, the router should be the dns? [11:35] ok if you ifconfig (sudo ifconfig ) does you dns populate [11:35] gogeta: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deskbar-applet/+bug/131446 [11:35] my computer suddendly turned off, and at the reboot I don't have panel no more. even if "gnome-panel" is running [11:35] gogeta: after all that apparently its how its going to be from now on [11:35] soundray> ok thx I have a try [11:35] Alyxander, will try that. adapter name is = eth0,eth1?

[11:38] gogeta: thanks for all the help i appreciate it [11:39] any suggestions as to why it keeps doing that? [11:39] sjovan: it usually means that no driver loads for it. What type of card is it?

[11:41] kde or gnome vegpuff [11:41] Alyxander: prob. nor since it's not in ifconfig... [11:41] thanks teto [11:41] Alyxander: gnome [11:42] sjovan sometimes it will show in iwconfig what shipset is your wireless?

[11:42] Alyxander: yes, but the only thing that is showing on his computer is eth1 and that's a normal lan card... [11:43] vegpuff do you have 7.10? if so are your restricted drivers installed? [11:43] ... [11:43] Alyxander: 7.10 yes. restricted drivers in use - yes. [11:44] sjovan iwconfig only tells is the card is wireless capable meaning his eth1 is his wireless card everthing else should say now wireless extension [11:44] soundray> no idea,I made a dpkg -S *paths-bash* to know which package it was coming from but no package has it.do you want me to upload it ? === ubuntu is now known as khajcx === khajcx is now known as khajx [11:45] Alyxander: i know and that's what i'm telling you. he doesn't get any wireless card on the list. so it's a driver problem [11:45] teto: no, I don't think that would get us any further. Is anything wrong on your system apart from this error message? [11:45] so i ask what commands could you possible need to finde our what to do? [11:45] sjovan ok what kind of card and same question i asked vegpuff 7.10? and restricted drivers?

I'm installing ubuntu on fake raid and all went fine except for the boot loader installation phase. I already have grub installed so it's not a problem. is there other steps after the grub installation? [11:53] gausie im not sure that the right comman though === nand__ is now known as nand_ [11:53] gausie: lsusb won't give you a lot. [11:54] cedega? timewriter? [11:54] gausie: do a 'ls -lrt /dev' to see which devices were created most recently (bottom of the list) [11:54] yes [11:54] Does anybody know of a good channel for hardware support? [11:54] soundray thank you [11:54] gausie: also, do a dmesg and look at the last few lines [11:54] http://www.transgaming.com/products/cedega/ [11:54] @hardware [11:54] i was haveing a blah moment [11:54] Balachmar: ##hardware [11:54] #hardware [11:55] timewriter what is it? [11:55] emulator [11:55] soundray: I already found that one, but highly unhelpfull they only babble about other stuff not one remark about my questions yet... [11:55] salut [11:55] http://www.transgaming.com/imgs/transgaming/screenshots/screen_cedega01.jpg [11:55] like wine or better?

Give it some time, new experts are joining in all the time. [11:56] I have a question [11:56] Balachmar: I've joined ##hardware, please ask your question again [11:57] bring it on [11:57] Balachmar what the question [11:57] Alyxander: ##hardware please [11:57] scypher what your question [11:57] deluge is a good torrent client [11:57] #french [11:57] I try... [11:58] hey I am trying to install ubuntu. I am trying to make a new partition but a little unclear on some of the options they give me. Type:(primary, or Logical), Location:(Beginning, or End), Use As:(just shows a bunch of file types), and Mount Point: [11:58] another jquestion: where is the french chan?! ^^" [11:58] *question [11:59] Gunn: are you sure you should be partioning manually? [11:59] Gunn: it can do it for you [11:59] fredy : #ubuntu-fr ? [11:59] but I dont want it to use all my extra free space [11:59] just 25gb of it [11:59] Gunn: okay [11:59] figured manual was the only way to decide how much space to use [11:59] so it doesnt use all my free space [11:59] Gunn: make a primary partition, use as / [12:00] really? i go to try it because my english level is very... 0 ^^ [12:00] how can i watch kernel output - like the message that it gives when you plug in a usb device? [12:00] Gunn: sorry, mount point /, use as ext3 [12:00] good morning [12:00] gausie: tail -f /var/log/syslog [12:00] Gunn: and a swap partition [12:00] do i use /dos or /windows for mount point [12:00] Gunn: up to you [12:00] whats the diff [12:00] Gunn: you dont need to set up anything except the ubuntu partitions [12:01] but thats what I am having problems doing [12:01] Gunn: that dos/windows thing -- thats an existing partition youre looking at, right? [12:01] its asking me those questions === wirechief_ is now known as wirechief__ === wirechief__ is now known as wirechief1 [12:01] Gunn: just ignore the existing partitions, dont set mount point for them [12:01] Gunn: you need to create two partitions for ubuntu, a data partition and a swap partition [12:01] all i did was click new partion [12:01] and go with the wizard [12:01] omg [12:01] and it asked me those fields [12:01] Gunn: how many partitions are already on your drive? [12:01] when installing ubuntu, what comes after the grub installation? [12:02] i think grub gets installed last... [12:02] just 1 i believe [12:02] i am on vista [12:02] and i am trying to do the dual boot [12:02] Gunn: okay [12:02] Gunn: and you are in the manual partitioning section of the installer? [12:02] not right now, I had to boot back up to vista to get in here [12:02] to get some answers [12:03] then im gonna restart and try again [12:03] IndyGunFreak: I hope so. it seems a failure in the grub installation is fatal. [12:03] Gunn: is your internet connection not working on the Live CD? [12:03] how can I tell [12:03] ubuntu, well not fatal, [12:03] I never saw a tool bar on the desktop [12:03] just 2 icons [12:03] install and examples [12:03] how can I control boot level at boot up? [12:03] Gunn: you need to create two partitions. One ext3 filesystem, mount point "/", and one swap partition. The swap partition should be between 512 to 1024 MB, and the other as big as you want it [12:04] weeheee [12:04] Gunn: look in the applications menu for Firefox, and test it to see if you can get online... if you can, just open a terminal, and sudo apt-get install xchat then you can come back here and we can talk you through the partition process [12:04] soundray: Thanks alot! [12:04] Scypher: there are no SysV style init levels in Ubuntu. What are you trying to do? [12:04] I cant even create the initial partion to finish the install process let alone make 2 of them [12:04] IndyGunFreak: yeah I guess. but it is to the installer. but if nothing else gets done after, it's all good :) [12:04] soundray: just recovered the MBR [12:04] :) [12:04] I have no menu [12:04] khajx: well done [12:04] there was no menu when i loaded up [12:04] just a crazy orange background and 2 icons [12:05] Gunn: then something was wrong. [12:05] example and install [12:05] brb [12:05] soundray, I am trying to get to console, ubuntu has problem with my savage IX-MV card [12:05] there should have been an application/places/system menu on the top. [12:05] si [12:05] Gunn: i have an idea! [12:05] Scypher: do you get a black screen? [12:05] Gunn: you say you dont want to use all the free space for ubuntu, right? [12:05] right [12:05] soundray, yes!!! [12:05] I want to leave some here on my vista system [12:06] Gunn: wait [12:06] Scypher: try Ctrl-Alt-F2, or boot in recovery mode (boot menu item) [12:06] Gunn: do you mean you want to leave unpartitioned space, or just free space on the hard drive? [12:06] soundray, actually it freeze up my laptop [12:06] Gunn: i have been misunderstanding you. your current partition takes up all the space on the drive? [12:06] I want to leave free space on this partition so I can still use vista [12:06] cause I plan to use both [12:06] soundray, I've found a safemode [12:06] Gunn: aah, i thought you were talking about unpartitioned space! now i get it [12:06] I want to put 25gb on ubuntu and leave 25gb on my vista system [12:07] Gunn: you dont need to use manual partitioning for that! you can select to resize the existing partition and use the freed space - i believe it will ask you how much it should resize it down [12:07] oh really [12:07] When I use gdesklets after installing it nothing pops up. I mean its just empty and says gdesklets shell. Shouldnt I have a menu to choose somethign in there? [12:07] Scypher: so you're okay now? [12:08] Gunn: i thought you wanted to leave some space unpartititioned and thats why you were using manual... [12:08] soundray, I'am in the safe mode, but I don't know how to mount LVM partition :( [12:08] naw, I want to leave some space here on vista [12:08] and put some over onto a new partition for unbuntu [12:09] ftp://anonymous:anonymous@80.109.44.199:32767 [12:09] Scypher: sorry, no experience with LVM here [12:09] !lvm | scypher [12:09] scypher: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO [12:09] so when I choose new partition what should I do [12:09] automatic then choose what [12:09] Gunn: you don't choose new partition. you just select to resize the existing partition and use the freed space. [12:10] Gunn: thats the step before you enter the manual partitioner. [12:10] can you add this to the bot database? its solution for savage IX-MV cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-savage/+bug/33617 [12:10] and when it asks me what to shrink it to, just put how much space I want on that partition ? [12:10] for unbuntu [12:10] !savage [12:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about savage - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:10] !ix-mv [12:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about ix-mv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [12:11] hallo at all [12:11] hi. how should i list contents of a deb file?

[12:12] and not be able to get back here cause I ruined something [12:12] kira it may not be the torrent but the traffic [12:13] Gunn: you should have an applications menu on your toolbar, that doesn't make sense, not sure i'd trust that live CD> [12:13] i just downloaded it off the site and burned the ISO [12:13] I made it like an hour ago [12:13] Gunn: run the cd checker thing before you install [12:13] where is that at [12:13] hi. how should i list contents of a deb file? [12:14] Gunn: well,t hat doesn't mean something didnt' go wrong. you shoudl be able to start Firefox, etc..and assuming you have an internet connection recognized, install xchat and come here for help [12:14] i haf a xdsl under XP i have a traffic of 850kb/s download and 350kb/s upload and i can surf but with ktorrent under ubuntu 10kbs up and 10kb/s down and it blocks [12:14] oops, sorry about that [12:14] kira: its probably a setting on your router. [12:14] art1: dpkg -c name.deb [12:14] hm maybe I didnt click the right thing for Live CD [12:15] albert23: thanks [12:15] kira ill second check your router perhaps the QoS is enabled [12:15] Gunn: if you have a desktop, you should have an applications menu. [12:15] ah ok good idea thanks [12:15] well then I dont know what the deal is [12:15] Gunn: run the cd integrity test thing. from the boot menu. [12:15] holy f... why does xchat connect to ubuntu channel by default, christ... [12:16] ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso is the name of the ISO i burned [12:16] kira: was that traffic under xp torrent traffic? [12:16] is there a way i can set up a domain name to access my webpage.for example using http://myserver instead of http://192.168....... [12:16] yes [12:16] Gunn: that's the right one, but it may have been burned badly, or corrupted during downloading -- so run the cd test and see what it says [12:16] under ubuntu with ktorrent i have this problems [12:16] k how do I get to that CD test [12:17] Gunn: its in the boot menu [12:17] Gunn: its on the text menu on the boot menu [12:17] reboot selecte it from the boot menu [12:17] thats where I choose unbunutu or vista [12:17] that menu right ? [12:17] Gunn: no, the menu where you choose to install Linux. [12:17] Gunn: No, the "unbunutu" cd boot menu, where you choose to start the live cd from [12:17] you shouldn't have a grub menu yet, because Ubuntu isn't installed.

[13:01] manual [13:01] freakabcd: i think it sucks. [13:01] Gunn: why are you doing manual, do guided like was suggested [13:01] well, if and when they move to gtk/qt it would be good [13:01] Gunn: the recommended scheme is having 128-256 MB /boot at the beginning, then 5-10 GB for the system (/) then swap (RAM*1,5), rest for /home [13:01] i have AA fonts, etc. in amsn so its all good [13:01] freakabcd: glad it works for you.

Tried inkscape but it wont draw circles... :D [13:03] Any ideas? [13:03] IndyGunFreak: what do you mean with tricky ??

[13:04] axz: System -> Administration -> Update Manager [13:04] Yes, I Run 7.10 now [13:04] !upgrade | axz [13:04] axz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [13:04] axz: If at all possible (backups) i'd recommend wipe the lot and clean install [13:04] Just seems to work better when i did it [13:05] Who's has a release of Hardy 8.04? [13:05] axz: definitely have a backup, in case something goes wrong, but i'd also recommend a clean install... thats how i do it, [13:05] jonasj : sure you can... but it makes sense to not give the autopartitioner a chance to guide you into grub error 17, and having home seperate is just best practice.Why not get it right from the beginning? [13:05] chazco, i did that i get a wierd error abouyt something cleaning the cd/dvd or burning to fast [13:05] no way to upgrade it online? [13:05] Jossjee: i don't think the beta's for hardy are public yet.. but i could be wrong [13:05] hmm... odd... try via the upgrade manager [13:05] stefg: who says a separate home is best practice? [13:05] Yes it's Plublic beta [13:05] axz: read the link posted by ubotu above about upgrading [13:05] oke IndyGunFreak [13:06] I have a seperate home partition, its useful if you need it, wouldnt say essential though [13:06] jonasj: who says it's not ? [13:06] oke one more thuing guys [13:06] i just switched from OpenSuse to ubuntu [13:06] Jossjee: ok, i was thinking it wasn't public yet.\ [13:06] because of ATI drivers problems with 54bit structure [13:06] 64% [13:06] hi... can anyone recommend a vector drawing app similar to Flash (windows)? Tried inkscape but it wont draw circles... :D [13:06] stefg: i do :-) it means you'll have to decide how much space to allot to root and how much to home. and what if you then run out of space on one? [13:06] ubuntu has same problem with the drivers? === orion-uk is now known as Darkseed_uk [13:07] stefg: and besides, the default in the installer is not to use a separate home... [13:07] I had problems with my Ati radeon HD 2600 Pro, So I changed to Nvidia [13:08] jonasj: the default partitioner is stupid, and has often been criticized for doing an oversimple setup, that can lead to problems with certain hardware [13:08] its not ubuntu the one with problems [13:08] its aATI [13:08] ATI even [13:08] halo [13:08] Ati is most all a difficult driver to install [13:09] stefg: you're not really trying to get me to believe that not having a separate /home partition leads to problems with certain hardware, are you? [13:09] :) [13:09] its easy to install [13:09] I will wait when i recieve a driver update :p [13:10] I run Ubuntu now for 3 weeks. [13:10] jonasj: i'm not sure telling a newb to do all that partitioning is worthwhile... let them make a swap and a / to get throught he process, then if they can set it up.. thats ju my opinion and why i never tell folks to do it. [13:10] hello everybody, I installed Flight Sim onto Ubuntu using wine and the installation went great. but when I try to start it,it tells me ddraw.c cannot be found [13:10] IndyGunFreak: that's exactly what i'm saying! [13:10] you can google for it [13:10] any ideas what I can do to correct this? [13:10] jonasj: in this case having /boot not within the first 1024 cylinders or trying to setup a LVM iis the problem. Having /home separate just makes upgrades/reinstalls and a good backup regime far easier [13:10] jonasj: oh ok..lol, so we are in agreement [13:11] Crazy|One , you can correct it by not using emulators again [13:11] IndyGunFreak: yeah, we are :) [13:11] timewriter what other ways could i run the game then? [13:11] jonasj: :) [13:11] you can try cedega [13:11] but thats a emulator also [13:11] well , sometimes we push too hard on linux [13:12] IndyGunFreak: but newbs are more likely to screw up... so if they need a reinstall, they loose their settings [13:12] i've been using ubuntu for about 2-2.5yrs, and i've never even had a separate /home partition. I just back up all my stuff, and do a completely clean install. [13:12] Btw... since install 7.10 one of my uni's intranet pages has stopped loading... any ideas? Its just the one page, and it works on my other PC (same LAN, same Firefox, but Vista) [13:12] IndyGunFreak, whats changelog of ubuntu 7.10? [13:12] !changelog [13:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about changelog - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:12] never heard changelog. [13:12] thing that have bin changed from 7.04 to 7.10 [13:12] stefg: i see the point... but if they hose up while partitioning, they're likely gonna bonk their windwos partition.. thus why i dont' recommend it. [13:13] axz: i really don't know. [13:13] <_Lucretia_> I've downloaded the following .mov file: http://zacker.org/screencast-drupal-mashup-machine but it displays scewed in mplayer and crashes totem, anyone know how I can get it to display properly.

[13:14] can we have dreamscene effect in ubuntu [13:14] axz: the proprietary ati drivers in 7.10 dont support compiz - if thats what you mean [13:14] or any animated background [13:14] axz: you can install the newer ones manually though... but the free edivers are pretty good for many cards [13:14] ppl ant comment ? [13:15] any* [13:15] (drives [13:15] *drivers [13:15] no ideas about that? [13:15] imabit: about what?

[13:22] Thanks Stefg/ [13:22] lol [13:22] jonasj: ubuntu 7 [13:22] f00bar80: using the alternate cd or what? [13:22] well that helps. [13:22] can anyone tell me a driver for sonix/microdia hp laptop webcam because i didnt found one [13:22] there's 7.04, 7.10 [13:22] mmm suggests some thing network related then... [13:22] f00bar80: or server cd? [13:22] :O [13:23] no kind of redirection script used on the page? [13:23] Can anyone tell what i more can do with the command "Gnome" | Example Gnome-screenshot [13:23] Why does update-manager require ubuntu-desktop to be installed when upgrading from previous release ? [13:23] Nothing obvious... and it works on 7.04 + Vista. However, on 7.10 it doesnt (Firefox / Opera even dillo all fail in the same way) [13:23] IndyGunFreak: there is no vmware-player nor vmware-server in gutsy multiverse. And the links ubotu gave me do not refer to gutsy either. [13:23] Hoxzer: its a metapackage, don't worry about it, its not actually installing it. [13:23] jonasj: server edition [13:23] hello [13:23] i have instlled 7.10 on my laptop ,i wann to connet the wireless to awindows XP Ad-hoc network [13:23] any helps [13:24] f00bar80: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:24] so it is not limited to firefox on the machine? it happens in every browser? [13:24] IndyGunFreak: :\ Yeah, but I checked it depencies and they were about 100 MB :P [13:24] demon012 - yes [13:24] f00bar80: that will install the entire graphic environment as if you Installed from the desktop cd [13:24] CochiseIRL: where is this script? I am having trouble with the modules after each restart! [13:24] IndyGunFreak: Is it really required ? [13:24] IPGHOSt, do you have a Ip Adres for Samba? [13:24] (every browser) [13:24] jonasj: after installation [13:24] yes [13:24] Hoxzer: to have all transitional packages sorted out. But think twice before you upgrade, and have a backup of you current install. YOu might be disappointed [13:24] kk can move out of the browser area then and onto networking stuff === snake_ is now known as asaup [13:24] is UBUNTU in bed with Linspire still? [13:24] I made update to my ubuntu 6.06 for the first time yesterday and now I can't use ubuntu anymore, cause text get bugged, what can i do? [13:24] hildegard, uninstall your vmware while i dig out the script [13:24] f00bar80: yes, type sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [13:24] Jossjee, for what ? [13:25] livingdayligh: what do you mean "in bbed with"? [13:25] demon012 - yep, thought as much... but theres even more to go through there :D === trekkme__ is now known as trekkme [13:25] stefg: :\ already upgraded by modifying source.list from fiesty to gutsy [13:25] is there some good blogging software for ubuntu? (not the firefox plugin) [13:25] stefg: dont see any problems [13:25] stefg: that's why I'm wondering [13:25] is there any way to run migration-assistant after installing ubuntu ? [13:25] chazco hae you had a go at: sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start [13:25] kane77: drivel [13:25] IPGHOST, You need a Ip Adress for connecting Windows [13:25] tried static IP, udhcp, "roaming" mode (its all wired LAN) [13:25] hi, anyone has installed crossover on ubuntu gutsy gibbon ? [13:25] Can try it [13:25] jonasj: is linspire still you know... to ubuntu [13:25] jonasj: in partnership? [13:25] Or Give your System a Ip Adress:p [13:25] will rule out a dodgy cached dns address [13:25] Hoxzer: that's an officially unsupported procedure, but if it worked... nice [13:25] jonasj: for a while there, Ubuntu was saying they were gonna include CNR(which is linspires) with Ubuntu. [13:25] livingdayligh: well, they base their distro on ubuntu [13:26] that would be a horrible thing in my opinion, CNR is awful [13:26] jonasj: the server edition doesn't have graphical env. [13:26] demon012 - does it on the 7.10 livecd with a clean boot though also [13:26] I'm customising the install cd to include extra packages, but it won't all fit on one CD. How can I split it into 2 CDs and have a 'insert disc 2' step in the installer? [13:26] IndyGunFreak: they didn't really say they would include it.... [13:26] IndyGunFreak: but is ubuntu still in cahoots with linspire? [13:26] jonasj: well, that was my understanding. [13:26] mmm ok that is weird then [13:26] f00bar80: you can install the graphical environment by typing sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop!! [13:26] that rules out the os installation [13:26] erUSUL, thanx, I found blogtk, but that is very simple.. [13:26] is there a fix available for the slow throughput on the broadcom wireless cards with gutsy? [13:26] ciao [13:26] livingdayligh: i don't know.. the day ubuntu is as slow as linspire, i'll switch my PC's over to Debian [13:27] I have Ubuntu 7.10 connected to a Windows 2003 Server, Without a Ip doesnt works :-( [13:27] Tell me about it, if it keeps up i may be forced back onto 7.04/Windows :( [13:27] jaym: disable ipv6 or go back to feisty [13:27] urk anything but windows =S [13:27] jonasj: but the server edition doesn't have neithr install graphical env by default ? [13:27] To be fair, its free from Uni, but agreed :D [13:27] f00bar80: no, that's the whole point of the server edition [13:27] !ipv6 | jaym [13:27] stefg: how do i disable it? [13:27] yes, Windows sucks, I go in a few weeks to Ubuntu Server Edition :-p [13:27] jaym: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 [13:27] thanks [13:27] nobody can insstall M$ office 2003 on ubuntu gutsy? [13:27] hildegard, email addy? [13:27] jonasj: what do u mean by the whole point [13:27] meh not customisable... you are forced to use explorer or evil programs that consume too much ram (stardock etc) [13:28] gonna go work out, later all. [13:28] f00bar80: the point of using the server edition instead of desktop edition is when you don't want a graphical environment [13:28] cya indy [13:28] heh... well, regardless I really need this to work :( [13:28] I'll try the livecd on another PC... see if it works there [13:28] heh ye [13:28] kk [13:28] f00bar80: the only difference between server and desktop is the default installed set of packages... [13:28] that was the thing i was going to move onto next [13:29] jonasj: which are [13:29] CochiseIRL: found it? where can I get it from? [13:29] if not the operating system has to be the hardware or something external to the system [13:29] hildegard, are you joined ubuntu forums? [13:29] Not sure... it definatly worked in 7.04 [13:29] jonasj: can i use this server edition to install a vitual box [13:30] mmm [13:30] jonasj: virtual* [13:30] try using a different dns server e.g: 208.67.220.220 208.67.222.222 [13:30] f00bar80: the server install doesnt include the graphical environment, and uses a differently optimized kernel by default. that's the only differences. [13:30] they are the open dns servers [13:30] Tried using opendns [13:30] Ah [13:30] hildegard, u get that? just make it execuable: chmod +x vmware.sh and run it [13:30] lol [13:30] CochiseIRL: no [13:30] Didnt work then [13:30] f00bar80: you still need an Xserver if you want to see anything [13:30] CochiseIRL: got it [13:30] (i am scared of myself knowing those ips off by heart) [13:30] CochiseIRL: tnx [13:30] lol [13:30] Am I the only one unable to login to the wiki? [13:31] jonasj: so i can't use something that does virtual enviroment ? [13:31] hildegard, do you know how to make it executable and run it? [13:31] LiveCD is so slow too start :D [13:31] Iam gone . [13:31] chazco: 256 MB box? [13:31] bye, bye [13:31] mmm yikes this is a good question chazco lol [13:31] 1GB :D [13:32] Its quicker on my 256/512 (not sure which :D ) desktop oddly [13:32] chazco your running live? [13:32] chazco what page are you trying to load btw is it accessible to people not at the uni? [13:32] if so can i get a link [13:32] Trying the livecd now to see if it works [13:32] CochiseIRL: yes, thank you. One question remains: Does this only work for player or for server and workstation as well? [13:32] It is only accessible when logged in i'm afraid [13:32] My timetable [13:32] bugger [13:32] hildegard, just vmware server [13:32] hildegard, you could also try virtualbox [13:32] chazco: it takes some time to figure out the hardware, but once it's done it'll run better. you can use 'ubiquity-only' if you just want the installer, not the full desktop environment [13:32] <_Lucretia_> ok, it's a quicktime file and it plays back in mplayer skewed, how can I fix/play it? [13:33] !thanks! [13:33] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [13:33] f00bar80: i don't know much about virtual environments, but if you want a graphical env, just install it, otherwise dont, whats the problem? [13:33] Its not a big issue, its only a one off. Thanks anyway :) [13:33] !botsnack [13:33] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [13:33] anyone know if the partnership between canonical and linspire is still alive? [13:33] I dont normally run from the live CD [13:33] http://wiki.freespire.org/index.php/Linspire_Canonical_Partnership_FAQ [13:33] my listen media player just plays one song and hangs [13:33] yikes you now have me out of ideas chazco lol [13:33] :( [13:33] you have ruled out pretty much everything i can think of lol [13:34] livingdayligh: "We won’t make CNR a default platform in Ubuntu" said mark shuttleworth [13:34] demon012 - how do you think i feel :D Had longer to do this... everything i try fails [13:34] livingdayligh: in http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/127 [13:34] i can imagine i know what you feel like [13:34] .

[13:36] livingdayligh: that freespire page seems to be exagerating (sp?) [13:36] it does indeed chazco [13:36] !flash [13:36] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [13:36] there we go [13:37] stefg: exaile can't be compared to listen or amarok. amarok is kde which i don't like [13:37] !flash | H3Av3N2233 [13:37] H3Av3N2233: please see above [13:37] murlidhar: whatever you choose.

[14:46] jul: does it kill a process? [14:46] darkspirit, one way is System > Administration > System Monitor [14:46] Anyone here know how to install Steam into Wine? [14:46] is openOffice included with the amd64 CD dl? [14:46] corecomps, yep [14:47] I think so, darksp [14:47] darkspirit, if it's a gui program that still has a window up, run xkill and click the window [14:47] I think so, darkspirit. [14:47] if i installed ubuntu first and then resize a hdd and install windows on how do i edit my grub menu so that i get the menu when i start the pc [14:47] astro76: nop, it's closed but process still open (firefox) [14:47] v3ctor: what user and pass will i need to connect to the ssh server on live cd? [14:47] Cyrus25801, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:47] darkspirit, then system monitor, or killall firefox [14:47] b0r3d: sorry. I'm trying. [14:47] Can someone help me install Steam using Wine?? [14:47] Cyrus25801, then edit away [14:47] VSpike: no idea [14:48] ikonia: this creates a user with no pass I would pressume?

[14:49] compwiz18: Yes, although I'm still having troubles. I have the SteamInstall.MSI on my desktop, but can't figure out what to do from there. [14:49] where does a person find drivers for common chipsets (nForce 530/630)? [14:49] astro76: it says it's in zombie state [14:49] Sinlore_, add the wine repoś from wine hq to your sources.list install wine, download steam from a terminal type: msiexec -l steam.msi [14:49] whats the beser way to install the xvid codec? i just installed the codec packs through totem player... was that wrong? [14:49] *best way [14:49] Sinlore_, just a guess, open a terminal and run wine ~/Desktop/SteamInstall.MSI [14:50] Cyrus25801, doesn't matter, probably better to do it after... [14:50] Cyrus25801, installing Windows will remove grub, so you will be unable to boot Ubuntu without using a livecd to restore grub to the master boot record [14:50] Sinlore_, you have to type msiexec -l SteamInstall.msi from a terminal and the steam install will launch [14:50] compwiz18: I get "bash: /home/sinlore/Desktop/SteamInstall.msi: Permission denied" when I used the command. [14:50] wine msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi <- this should work [14:50] how do I find the UUID of a device? [14:50] darkspirit, http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/zombies.html [14:50] JarG0n, is said device a HDD? [14:51] !uuid | JarG0n [14:51] JarG0n: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [14:51] compwiz18> it's a USB thumbdrive [14:51] JarG0n, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=find+uuid+hard+drive&btnG=Google+Search [14:51] thx! [14:51] k [14:51] Is there any way at all to login with root in ubuntu [14:51] Sinlore_, i'm going to install steam myself, i can probably help you [14:52] needhelp, in a terminal or in Gnome or something? [14:52] needhelp, I don't think so [14:52] CochiseIRL: I just tried that, and it gave me a big list of commands to use. [14:52] compwiz18 gnome [14:52] needhelp, there is if a password is set, but there is no need to [14:52] okay try msiexec -i steaminstall.msi [14:52] needhelp, I think if you go to Admin -> Login Window there is an option about letting root login [14:52] cleaton: Help is very much appreciated. =D [14:52] needhelp, even if you really need a root shell, you can do sudo -i [14:52] Sinlore_, okay try msiexec -i steaminstall.msi [14:52] CochiseIRL: fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030050! [14:53] astro76: yeah, but that's not my problem though. My problem is that i accidently encrypted my desktop so I can't login to it with my normal user [14:53] Sinlore_, you have wine installed? [14:53] cleaton: Yes. [14:53] astro76: so i can only sit in terminal -.- [14:53] I installed compiz via synaptic, and now it won't show up in the menu or menu editor. So why won't it work? [14:53] Sinlore_, download the msi again and try again, may be corrupted what wine are you using? [14:53] ok, get a clean steaminstall.msi [14:53] put it in your home folder [14:53] needhelp, what good is logging in as root going to do you then? [14:53] and open a terminal [14:53] Hi, could someone help me with getting my Ipod working under gutsy? [14:53] and write "wine msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi" [14:53] and press enter [14:53] CochiseIRL: 0.9.46 [14:53] needhelp, so if you're in terminal, my statement stands, you don't need to actually login as root [14:54] JarG0n: you can also list all uuid by typing ls /dev/disk/by-uuid [14:54] kikkertje, what doesn't work? [14:54] where does a person find drivers for his hardware? [14:54] :) [14:54] !enter [14:54] Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [14:54] How can I get the volume control utility to show up in the tray? Its not there... [14:54] corecomps, supported hardware is already contained in the linux kernel, what are you trying to make work? [14:54] any flv to mp4 converter? [14:54] Sinlore_, you get a error? [14:54] cleaton: I get "fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030050! [14:54] " [14:55] sorry, my questions are "preinstallation" but I have a nForce 630 motherboard AM2 computer [14:55] v3ctor: should i get her to do sudo adduser do you think? [14:55] there was any change in DNS handling from 7.04 to 7.10? I use to have a p2p program with a hostname from 'dyndns.org' that worked fine but now it gives me a segmentation fault. [14:55] Bonster, VLC can do conversions from pretty much anything to anything. [14:55] JarG0n, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid shows disks and their associated uuids [14:55] PriceChild, Well, I restred my settings in Itunes, and then I connected it on ubuntu, and added some songs trough rythmbox, but my Ipod says there's "no music" [14:55] astro76: hm, k. But um, do you have any idea how I can fix this tho? I can't seem to login to my desktop as I'm getting Users $HOME/. dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents blabla from being saved, File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions. [14:55] PriceChild, but when I reconnect my ipod, rythmbox see's the songs though [14:55] Creed: oh really [14:56] Sinlore_, try and download a new .msi it's working perfectly for me [14:56] needhelp, that usually means you don't have a /home/$USER directory [14:56] CochiseIRL: Is there a way to download the .MSI for steam through the terminal instead of looking for it on a website? [14:56] what's the best forum/mailing list for discussing how to add applications to a live CD.. I don't necessarily mean modifying the live CD but may be a live CD plus a flash stick or something containing the application. [14:56] Sinlore_, yes one sec [14:56] where can i get emerald fusion themes? i tried the button in emerald and i tried apt-get install emerald-themes [14:56] CochiseIRL: Okies, ty. [14:56] Bonster, in VLC: File > Wizard > Transcode to file [14:56] needhelp, you could just add another user, didn't that work? [14:56] kikkertje, I don't understand, don't know sorry. [14:56] how can i search a specific repository? [14:56] nonewmsgs_, try gnome-looks.org [14:57] PriceChild, no problem, tnx for your time ;) [14:57] Whatup [14:57] corecomps, most things should work fine, if you want to check before you install, just boot the Ubuntu livecd [14:57] kikkertje thanks [14:58] astro76, thanks, I'll give that a try [14:58] compwiz18> thank you [14:59] JarG0n, no problem [14:59] there was any change in DNS handling from 7.04 to 7.10? I use to have a p2p program with a hostname from 'dyndns.org' that worked fine but now it gives me a segmentation fault. [14:59] How can I get the volume control utility to show up in the tray? Its not there... [14:59] Creed: how u make it output mp4 is greyed out in VLC [14:59] Sinlore_, nope u gotta go throught the site [15:00] CochiseIRL: Ok, thanks for finding out for me. =D [15:00] cleaton: Where did you get your SteamInstall.msi at? [15:00] #ubuntu.pl [15:00] noelferreira, the p2p prog is defective [15:01] noelferreira, what program and what does it have to do with dyndns? AFAIK most p2p programs use just IP addresses [15:01] Sinlore_, steam's site just [15:01] what version of ubuntu are you using? [15:01] astro76: it is gbox for cardsharing [15:01] astro76, again, its the p2p prog not anything else [15:01] Bonster, mp4 is a container, not a codec type. [15:01] kbrooks, agreed [15:02] cleaton: Yay its installed! ^.^ [15:02] question, is it 7 on the west coast or 8? [15:02] astro76: it is not the gbox i have it and i alwyas have it running. i have it working now with 2.18 kernel [15:03] Creed, http://www.time.gov/ [15:03] is there a group required for ssh access? [15:03] cleaton: I'm running Gutsy. [15:03] kbrooks: do you now gbox or do you ever used it? [15:03] kbrooks: do you know gbox or do you ever used it? [15:04] Whats best way to change firefox64 and replace it with 32? [15:04] noelferreira, no, but i do know one thing. gbox is buggy. [15:04] Sinlore_, it worked when you got a new version from their site? [15:04] noelferreira, please do not ignore what i say [15:04] cleaton: Yes.

[15:06] there was any change in DNS handling from 7.04 to 7.10? I use to have a p2p program with a hostname from 'dyndns.org' that worked fine but now it gives me a segmentation fault. [15:06] gah [15:06] I am on amd64, should i install w64codecs instead of win32codecs? [15:06] noelferreira, it is defective because it segfaulted [15:07] Sinlore_, i got the same i just started it again [15:07] yay.. ban- overkill :-) [15:07] noelferreira, a segmentation fault means that a program intruded on memory [15:07] but it has nothing to do with the program kbrooks. so the prog is not defective. [15:07] cleaton: So what should I do to terminate the other running copy of Steam? [15:07] not always kbrooks. [15:07] noelferreira, ... it is defective. [15:07] noelferreira, you dont trust me, do you? [15:07] Good morning, room. [15:08] i'm sure it is not defective [15:08] Sinlore_, i didn't need to terminate another copy :S but you can check in system monitor [15:08] noelferreira: well, it is defective because it segfaulted. [15:08] system -> administration -> systemmonitor [15:08] noelferreira, it is a bug [15:09] the problem it there's a problem with dns handling because if i cahnge my hostname to my local ip it works great. the problem has something to do with DNS resolving hostnames. don+t you trust me kbrooks? [15:09] Google is not being my friend. I was hoping to find someone who has 7.10, is using the nVidia restricted driver and may have solved the login problem I´m running into where I can´t login to GDM as any user but can startX just fine.. and Sudo isn´t working from X but does from the CLI.

[15:09] noelferreira, you are wrong there, unfortunately [15:10] kbrooks: try to learn something too and not just saying this and that. anyway my questin is simple? there was any kind of change in dns handling from 2.18 kernel for 2.22? [15:10] noelferreira, You are online right now usina a IRC client. You typed www.foo.com in your web browser. Both work.

[15:21] please help me to find lsdj rom for free [15:21] arang2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Tools might help although [15:22] bitcrusher i think you are in the wrong chat area [15:22] stefg: thats not the errors i get ,and i also have been told that a patch might solve this problem ,others told me that they run gutsy as a guests under vmware server and workstation [15:22] cleaton: You can't see anything because we don't have the correct font lol. I read about it last night. [15:22] Sinlore_, "Steam requires the tahoma.ttf font. It is NOT included in the Microsoft core fonts package, so you have to get it separately. [15:22] For example, google for "filetype:ttf inurl:tahoma", download it and put it into your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts directory. [15:22] " [15:22] owkay sorry [15:22] yeah found =) [15:22] i need to get tahoma then xD [15:22] Anyone know what might cause you to be unable to use Synaptic as anybody but root? [15:22] Archon_SD, isn't that default behavior [15:23] i can't run synaptic without root, even if you could you couldn't do much, maybe search for apps but not install? [15:23] edggy: It asks you for your sys-admin password to run the command and it never works when I use my user PW, but it will sudo outside X.. [15:23] arang2: a.) you might ask in #vmware b.) probably you can d/l a premade and preinstalled image somewhere (with vm-tools already set up) .c.) what /exact/ errors do you get ? [15:23] heya.. can anyone point me to a doc that explains in what format the wireless-key line in /etc/network/interfaces must be? [15:23] ah [15:25] please, which package I have to install in order to get emacs? There are three or four packages and I don't know which is the last one [15:25] specifically, I have a passphrase with spaces in it, and am wondering how I'm supposed to display that. [15:25] stefg: i cant copy/paste the errors cos there are a bunch , they seem like errors at compiling, second #vmware is not responsive, i dunno what to do [15:25] what gnome version is in ubuntu? [15:25] EdgEy: Some kind of issue here where I cannot log in to GDM as anyone (including root) but can log into startx fine. When in X, canńot use sudo, even from terminals, but can sudo outside X.. and cannot run any apps that require escalated privileges unless logged in as X... never passing the security checks. [15:25] cleaton: Mine is now working. =D [15:25] join #ubuntu-th [15:25] what package provides the C standard library (stdio.h, etc.)? [15:25] EMH are you setting it in the file itself? [15:25] Sinlore_, ok good =) [15:26] EdgEy: I suspect something wrong in either PAM, or maybe something as simple as a file system flag set wrong. [15:26] JonkoPaa: Ubuntu 7.10 uses Gnome 2.20.0 [15:26] EdgEy: But Google is not being my friend on this one. [15:26] sinisterben: I'm setting it in the interfaces file, yes [15:26] EMH_Mark3, check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318539 if it isn't answered, you can probably post and get a reply quickly [15:27] hi [15:27] spricht hier einer deutsch der mir beim einrichten eines ftp servers helfen könnte [15:27] !de [15:27] Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [15:28] ah danke [15:28] Guys can i install 386 on 64bit system? [15:28] compwiz18: that thread talks about a wpa-key config line instead of a wireless-key line. are they one and the same? [15:29] How can I enable resizing of NTFS partitions with Gparted? [15:29] arang2: http://jars.de/linux/ubuntu-710-vmware-image-download-english [15:29] bbs, typing break lockout [15:30] stefg: it doesnt have vmware-tools installed, it would work the same as the one i got right now [15:31] axz what proc do you have? [15:31] Im missing a lot of menu items from my System > Administration menu. How can I get these back? [15:31] ubuntu [15:31] I keep seeing this message: "can't open /var/log/ntpstats/peerstats.20071104: Operation not permitted" however the directory /var/log i have given everywone permission to write into it so how come? How can I solve this ? [15:31] what processor [15:31] I did apt-get install apt-file, anow waiti and it's stuck at the "setting up" part of apt-get [15:31] arang2: "The image already comes with the current VMware Tools" [15:31] AMD [15:31] drgeb, did you specify the recursive command with chown? [15:32] drgeb, the folder /var/log might have permission for everyone, but subfolders might still be restricted. [15:32] if it's something like a amd64 it's no problem to install a i386 version [15:32] the owner of ntpstats is ntp [15:33] drgeb, try changing it to everyone to see if it fixes it. [15:33] bogus-, so it will work fine even beter because some thing arent working on 64x [15:33] drgeb, and change all files within it to everyone or just rm the existing log files. [15:33] indeed [15:33] ls -ald /var/log/ntpstats gives me drwxrwxrwx 2 ntp ntp 4096 2007-10-02 00:39 [15:34] stefg: i already tested it, vmware tools is partially installed [15:34] I run ubuntu i386 on my 64 bit intel laptop no problems [15:34] nice thanks for info buddy [15:34] I have a question that I haven't found in the help files yet. [15:34] creed: the directory is right now empty also [15:34] np [15:34] Has anyone else had problems on a fresh install of gutsy with permissions of dirs in their home directory being incorrect, so apps not saving settings on exit? I've noticed xchat and pidgin so far. [15:34] Lunar_Lamp, that won't have happenned unless you mess around with root/sudo [15:35] I've got a machine that I switch hard drives on - one with XP and this one with Ubuntu. I have an external USB Samba drive that I've left turned off when the Ubuntu drive is connected. What do you think will happen if I turn it on under Ubuntu? [15:36] PriceChild, well, I haven't done that I'm aware of. The only thing I can think of is that some of the config dirs were copied in by mistake from my backup. It's not a big hassle, but still, not something that a complete noob to *nix could be expect to fix on their own :-/ [15:36] Lunar_Lamp, probably copied using sudo then.... [15:36] PriceChild, it's not the ownership of the dirs that's the issue, it's that they are not group read/writable. [15:36] Lunar_Lamp, ah well then just chmod them [15:36] Anyone know how to fix a desktop where icons aren't appearing? I can't even right-click and get a menu. There's icons in the Desktop folder... [15:37] PriceChild, yeah, that's what I've been doing - but it's the kind of thing that would not be obvious to a new user, so I was wondering if it was a bug that I shoudl report. [15:37] scottpc: what do you mean by "USB Samba drive"? [15:37] Lunar_Lamp, That's user error... you've copied backups back incorrectly and so things broke... that's not ubuntu's fault [15:37] I am having problems with gutsy installation, I am on windows and trying to install linux on some unallocated space and the install goes well but when it reaches configuring apt and after it asks for the http proxy and once the input is given, it stops responding...I tried cd integrity check and tried installing a couple of times but with no luck.. [15:37] It's a 250gb USB external HDD [15:38] PriceChild, no, but I didn't copy those directories back that I'm aware of :-/ [15:38] what do you mean by samba? is that the brand of harddrive or what? [15:38] I've left the drive powered off while experimenting with Ubuntu [15:38] Never mind, it probably is just user error, but I can't remember copying them so was wondering if there was a known bug out there. [15:38] scottpc: the easiest way to find out is to... turn it on. try it tell us what happened! [15:38] It's a western digital drive, but it's been referred to as a "samba" volume [15:39] Lunar_Lamp, "The only thing I can think of is that some of the config dirs were copied in by mistake from my backup." [15:39] lol - I need to back it up to something more stable first. It's only one drive. [15:39] anyone? [15:39] it works under XP - which gives me concern that it could be damaged if I go switching it between operating systems [15:40] What irc program do you guys use? I use bitchx and xchat is there anything better? [15:40] scottpc: why don't you just try to turn it on? [15:40] Just curious if anyone had come across that... [15:40] scottpc: no, it's safe to try [15:40] scottpc: where was it referred to as a samba volume? [15:40] huh? [15:40] sinisterben: I'm using XChat. Didn't know of any other Linux based IRC programs. [15:40] you have an external usb hard drive you've never tried under ubuntu [15:41] hi - boson crashes when i start a game - is this a known bug? [15:41] on gutsy [15:41] there shouldn't be any concerb [15:41] I think under properties when looking at it under XP [15:41] I sound like such a noob!!! [15:41] it's just a hdd, it won't damage it :) [15:41] sinlore_ bitchx is nice if you like command line [15:41] question to bash-scripting: how can i make an echo that writes its output to the screen AND to a logfile? [15:41] Hello, under linux how can I do fsck.ntfs or something to /dev/hda1 (windows) ? [15:41] okay - here goes... [15:41] scottpc: just turn it on. it's perfectly safe. and tell us what happened. [15:41] boom! [15:41] scottpc has quit IRC "broken pipe" [15:41] haha [15:42] hahaha [15:42] ruben: no ntfs filechecking in Linux... you gotta use windows for that [15:42] Alp-: OUT=`echo hello" ; echo $OUT ; echo $OUT >> logfile [15:42] lol [15:42] it's there [15:42] it's all there!!! [15:42] scottpc: it works? [15:42] exists windows live CD or something? [15:42] the worst case is you can't write to it thats all [15:42] anyone know why the gutsy install is stuck on configuring apt [15:42] wanna move your files away from XP to UBUNTU in a hurry? [15:42] ive got an external usb drive running fine under gutsy, no config or anything [15:42] not sure if ubuntu has ntfs write enabled yet normlly [15:42] brb [15:42] Get an external hdd usb drive from western digital!!! [15:42] wow [15:43] scottpc, lol, any external hdd would work like that... its just a storage device :P what were you expecting [15:43] EdgEy: ntfs write support works out of the box in 7.10 [15:43] jonasj, nice [15:43] bob__: good idea, thanks [15:43] with my luck, a meltdown [15:43] lol - shows what windows guys expect - BSOD [15:43] can anyone recommend a laptop brand/model? I'm shopping for a lower priced one [15:43] john_ror: what country are you in? [15:44] for those of you who haven't run bill's proprietary software in a while, that's the Blue Screen of Death! [15:44] Hi, I've just Upgraded to 7.10 and now my DNS settings aren't working [15:44] I've tried adding 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 in the Network settings which normally fixes this problem, but it's not working [15:45] john_ror: what country are you in? [15:46] I think last time I had this problem I manually added the DNS server addresses to a file in /etc (I think it was the hosts file), but I don't know what to write in the file, and I can't search the internet because I can't get on any websites. [15:46] So I'm just wondering how I would add a DNS server into the hosts file [15:46] Can anyone point me to a changelog of network related changes between 7.04 and 7.10? I'm having some internet issues... [15:46] Dan[Laptop], it's /etc/resolv.conf not hosts [15:46] Do any of you know how to play streaming mp3's with xmms? I can't seem to get any stream to play with it. [15:47] california, usa [15:47] ah okay. [15:47] john_ror: check out http://www.system76.com then [15:47] bob__: but there is a problem. if for example svn add * produces output.. can i use this? OUT = "svn add *"; echo $OUT; echo $OUT >> logfile [15:47] I'm tempted by the $500 laptops [15:48] Hmm. Those DNS addresses I want to use are already in there. [15:48] However, I can only access websites by their IP addresses, not their URL's [15:48] Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong, and how I could fix it/ [15:48] Hello, i m here to get some help, i 'm using amarok (for example) and in the launcher properties there an option %u. where can i find theses options (a list or somethink) and the what they used for? thanks for help [15:48] Dan[Laptop]-> whats in your /etc/nsswitch.conf ? [15:48] second [15:49] ugh - dozen and dozens of illegal block errors from fsck :/ [15:49] i got a bad feeling about this [15:49] There's various things in there, bulmer [15:49] Anything in particular? [15:49] passwd, group and shadow are all set to "compat" [15:50] Dan[Laptop]-> hosts ? [15:50] Dan[Laptop]-> hosts ? also networks? [15:50] hosts is "files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4" [15:50] now lots of "Multiply-claimed block(s) in inode" on the second pass [15:50] networks is "files" [15:50] hello [15:51] could the drive be fubared? [15:51] is here anybody who could help me with unraring an archive? [15:51] Hey, I'm updating to 6.10, and my computer froze in the middle of the "Cleaning Up" step. What should I do? [15:51] where does pidgin saves its saved dialogues? [15:51] thank you for the added confidence to try that!!! [15:51] Dan[Laptop]-> thats seems okay, i dont know if there is a difference between mdns and mdns4_minimal that could possibly be causing issues [15:51] worked like a charm [15:51] ajirus: sudo apt-get install unrar [15:51] arijus: tried "unrar " ? [15:51] Vspike: i tried [15:51] john_ror: cheap hardware and linux usually don't go along too well. and those cheapos tend to just fall apart after a year of daily usage. See http://www.linux-laptop.net/ [15:51] I'll see what changing it to mdns4 does. [15:51] anyone know the buttons to use the moving cube effect with compiz? [15:51] Will I need to restart or anything after writing to the file? [15:51] i was in other channel and i got a direction to ask about multiverse [15:51] arijus: did it tell you unrar not install? [15:52] cause unrar-free doesn work for me [15:52] arijus: you will need to enable multiverse in your /etc/apt/sources.list file [15:52] phuzion: how can i do that? [15:52] just take out the # before each line that mentions multiverse [15:52] sudo nano /etc/apt/sources/list [15:52] sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list i should say [15:53] Yes, phuzion [15:53] Anyone tell me what I should answer to this one? http://pastebin.com/m714f6669 [15:53] what happend with ubuntu forum?? [15:54] anyone know how to disable showing joins and parts in irssi? [15:54] arijus: you can also just do 'sudo software-properties-gtk -e multiverse' [15:54] Does anyone know of some recovery software for Linux that can get data off a partition with a toasted file system? [15:54] arijus: to enable it [15:54] I am having a problem with lshw. When it is run it make the computer stop responding to everything and has to be hard-rebooted. Ever since it was first run i cant boot into normal mode i have to go into recovery. [15:54] coldboot google for header extraction tools [15:55] i can't remember what i used a while ago but it searched for say jpeg, doc, etc headers in filesystems === PriceChild is now known as pricey [15:55] got me some of my photos back, usually fragmentation fucked them up thouh === pricey is now known as pricechild [15:55] EdgEy: It's coming upwith tcp/ip headers [15:55] phuzion: /ignore #ubuntu JOIS PARTS [15:55] how do i add the user "dan" to the "vboxusers" group? [15:55] phuzion: /ignore #ubuntu JOIS PARi think [15:55] VSpike: yes, just say yes, as is the default. Next step is to perform a fsck on that drive. If it's the root drive (so you can't unmount) run sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot [15:55] phuzion: sorry, massive keylag [15:55] wish i could remember what i used, i deleted a partition and made a new one on top of it [15:56] phuzion: /ignore #ubuntu JOINS PARTS [15:56] dumped that area of the hdd and threw it in a tool and it got me some data back, mostly useless though [15:56] hmm, someone hop real quick please [15:56] and tell me when you're back [15:56] if you lost the file allocation table you won't get much really :/ [15:56] phuzion: seems to work for me :) [15:56] oh .. maybe not [15:56] those are't parts [15:56] they're quits [15:56] different IRC term [15:57] just /cycled [15:57] ok, i think i have done with multiverse [15:57] yeah, I didn't see it [15:57] nice [15:57] Thanks VSpike [15:57] how do i add the user "dan" to the "vboxusers" group? [15:57] In a channel with this many people, it's sorta necessary to disable seeing joins and parts [15:57] stefg: I'm fscking from a live cd.. and yeah, that is the root partition :( [15:57] what command should i use now for unraring? [15:57] VSpike: luckily it' [15:57] EdgEy: Would you be able to help me find it. You'll have a memory cue, so you'll recognize it when you come across a close enough page... [15:57] unrar [15:57] I am having a problem with lshw. When it is run it make the computer stop responding to everything and has to be hard-rebooted. Ever since it was first run i cant boot into normal mode i have to go into recovery. [15:57] arijus: did you enable multiverse? [15:58] phuzion: yes. with sudo software-properties-gtk -e multiverse command [15:58] did you install the "unrar" package? [15:58] VSpike: luckily it's just an unimportant logfile that's affected [15:58] stefg: there are lots more of them :( [15:58] uhoh [15:58] someone here having problems with "show desktop" and compiz (using gutsy) [15:59] phuzion: if i try to install unrar i get an error that package "unrar" has no installation candidate [15:59] hmm [15:59] !rar [15:59] rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [15:59] stefg: these are just the latest in a looong list of errors [15:59] !compiz | cappiz [15:59] cappiz: 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 [15:59] woo, running 2 upgrades back to back [15:59] je je je [15:59] going from 6.06 to 7.04 [16:00] stefg: now i'm onto Entry blah has deleted/unused inode.. clear? [16:00] EdgEy: Is there a way to get a file listing? I can't even remember what's on the drive... [16:00] VSpike: so something must have devastated the filesystem.... i'd get smartmon-tools and check if the drive is about to die [16:00] i'm out [16:00] VSpike: usually the defaults are safe [16:00] arijus: do this: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unrar [16:00] what kind of torrent client should i use with Ubuntu GG? My azuerus stoped working [16:00] jonasj: trying [16:01] its a xubuntuon but in #xubuntu there seems to be no one to answer, so here goes: [16:01] qetuR: rtorrent [16:01] stefg: now it's complaining about block bitmap differences [16:01] i have a simple question for general knowledge, i remember xfce in general and xubuntu as a single case, that there was no gui tool for resolution changing, and im rather shure that at least in 6.10 there was no tool but there i downloaded xfce 6.04 to use as a medium to to install gentoo on an old pentium3 and it gave me a crappy resolution, and there i find a gui tool O_O, was it backported cause its an LTS? [16:01] rsk, isnt rtorrent consolebased? [16:01] stefg: free blocks counts wrong [16:01] it is [16:01] does someone know how to get and know options like %u in amarok ? [16:01] stefg: ever get a strong sense of impending doom? [16:02] Kklown, man amorak ? [16:02] it is not inside man & help [16:02] hi all [16:02] can someone please help me with a problem with my acer notebook and ubuntu [16:02] Kklown, have you checked their site? [16:02] problem is the wlan adapt [16:02] first of all the atheros driver [16:03] VSpike: if i were you i'd take a file backup of the drive to some safe place, reformat and restore. that makes sure that the filesystem is consistent. you might have had a headcrash, and some badblocks as consequence. see smartmon-tools and man badblocks [16:03] jonasj: thanks man, that put a lot of effort from me, and you helped me just with two command lines :) [16:03] jonasj: thanks really [16:03] they say to come here, that's why [16:03] I have two network cards. I would like to set the gateway for eth0, NB. I do not want to set the default gateway [16:03] arijus: :-) [16:04] can any one help me with my problem? [16:04] arijus: now that unrar is installed, the graphical archive manager should be able to extract rar files as well [16:04] Can anyone point me to a tutorial to install the Flash player? My google searches aren't leading me in the right direction. [16:04] wad, ubuntu? [16:04] Yeah, just installed Gutsy Gibbon.

[16:06] Ok, I am reading all of the replies, thanks, I will read what you have posted and try from there. :) [16:06] ok, please I need help [16:06] Ok, can ANYONE think of a possible way to upgrade from 5.04 without using a CD? [16:07] Phuzion, do you have internet access on the machine? [16:07] stefg: when i try to enable smart on the drive it says "unable to fetch IEC (SMART) mode page [unsupported field in scsi command]" [16:07] Phuzion, use a dvd ;) [16:07] Lunar_Lamp, of course [16:07] slain: man ifconfig or man iptables might be what you need [16:07] ItchyHobo, Har har har i'm dying here [16:07] Phuzion: just upgrade 5.04 > 6.06> 6.10 > 7.10 [16:07] rsk: you see, that's the problem. the mirrors don't seem to have 5.04 files anymore [16:07] stefg: ok, I will try [16:07] ah. [16:08] Phuzion is right only one version update is on the servers [16:08] can you not somehow run the livecd from a partition === micheand_ is now known as battafish === beewoo is now known as darrrsha === wonderwoman is now known as almo [16:08] and then install from there [16:08] VSpike: don't know about that. But the interesting part would be to read the SMART log of that drive. if a headcrash occured it will be in the log [16:09] EdgEy, you mean mount the image? [16:09] hey [16:09] stefg: it won't let me do that as it says smart is not enabled [16:09] phuzion, no, see if there is some way of running the image from a partition [16:09] unless you can mount the image and then run the installer for 7.10 from 5.04 [16:09] VSpike: what kind of drive is that ? [16:10] EdgEy we will have to assume that image will be on the primary partition cuz live cd requires a reebot [16:10] !install | EdgEy [16:10] EdgEy: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

(i have NVidia gfg 7300) [16:10] livecd doesn't require a reboot [16:10] only after the installation finishes.. [16:11] No i meant to get it working in the first place [16:11] kakoonia: sure you're you running the right refresh rate for your monitor? [16:11] from the harddisk [16:11] kakoonia: with a Nvidia card, go to System/Admin/Restricted driver manager, and see if the Nvidia driver is enable3d, then check your refresh rates [16:11] can someone help me find out a couple things like #1 alt + f2 isnt working for me 2. my window mandager doesnt work, 3 compiz fusion settings wont work either [16:11] yeah, i mean, can't you copy the files for the livecd to a partition [16:11] stefg: samsung spinpoint sata i think [16:11] Wait a second, how about just doing this, get the ISO of 5.10, mount it, and use it as a virtual CD. then use the cdromupdate thing, and get into supported network update territory. [16:11] and have it run via grub or whatever from the hdd [16:11] hmm === beewoo is now known as rad [16:11] jonasj: how can i update source.list? [16:12] arijus: what do you want to do? [16:12] Ok, this server is at home right now. I need to get it up and running from 700 miles away, at school [16:12] stefg: the other partition on it is clean. which is good [16:12] does anyone know where xchat plugins are located once they are installed? [16:12] jonasj: i created a new source.list file in http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/, how can i now update it? [16:12] so, i can't really be doing anything that calls for me booting to something else in grub [16:12] Phuzion next time leave a blank cd in the drive for emergencies [16:12] ;) [16:12] lol [16:13] Hahaha, yeah, good idea [16:13] EdgEy: if you read the links ubotu posted above, you'll see its quite possible to do what you want [16:13] Phuzion: i feel your pain - i'm 10,000 miles away form my box :) [16:13] Ouch [16:13] phuzion so, you can't really reboot [16:13] arijus: i don't understand what you mean by update it? [16:13] EdgEy, not really [16:13] I want to programming in java, which program do you recommend me ? [16:13] VSpike: that should have smart capabilities. read trough the man page of smartctl. you can also run badblocks on that partition [16:13] anyone else having the screen blink black and back briefly at random times when compiz is enabled? [16:13] xisco, eclipse [16:13] Phuzion, looking at the links might be a very good idea [16:13] xisco: Eclipse is awesome [16:13] Hi at all [16:13] VSpike, my boxes are all over the place [16:13] But make sure to get it off the eclipse site. The one in synaptic is old [16:13] arijus, terminal - sudo apt-get update [16:13] jonasj: in http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ i got plain text of source.list [16:14] hello all [16:14] CochiseIRL, another one. I see eclipse very difficult and very hard [16:14] i have one problem with apache2 - ssl => You don't have permission to access / on this server. [16:14] arijus: press alt-f2 and type 'gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and paste in the new lines [16:14] arijus: yes, thats how it works, then you plug that source list in [16:14] how's the new version of ubuntu? [16:14] can you help me [16:14] hi. since i've installed gutsy my bluetooth keyboard is pretty unusable: it seems to run on low rate or something - i can't type fast and there's noticable delay between pressing a key and reaction (and if i type fast it just eats most of the letters). any way i could fix that? [16:14] xisco, emacs :) [16:14] because I do not install it yet to my system [16:14] me [16:14] xisco, if your being from scratch try eclipse and if you learn with it itĺl become easier otherwise just find a good text editor [16:15] Phuzion, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux [16:15] jewbilee , indygunfreak : the card is enabled, but whats the correct refresh rate? [16:15] whichone of the two GUI is better? [16:15] kakoonia: now that i don't know. [16:15] xisco, i used to like jcreator under windows you could try that with wine [16:15] tehk, no thanks, I'm working with package [16:15] hehe [16:15] hello [16:15] !better | etzerd [16:15] etzerd: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [16:15] kakoonia: try sudo nvidia-settings and see if you can set it properly there. [16:15] kakoonia: it all depends on your monitor [16:15] IndyGunFreak:where do i change it? nvidia settings? [16:15] ItchyHobo, i can't reboot [16:15] ok [16:15] Well [16:15] etzerd: you won't start a Desktop war in here, will you? [16:15] Thanks guys [16:15] Hey guys, I have a fairly simple question. My Ub. installation is running very slow. Similar to a windows computer with no page file. I did some recon and noticed my swap file isnt being used at all. How can I verify that I did it right? [16:15] I can reboot, but it can't be to start the installation process [16:15] sdfls [16:16] It has to be after [16:16] df [16:16] thanks erUSUL [16:16] k [16:16] kakoonia: it can be changed from nvidea or screen resolution under system [16:16] I'm running all of this off of SSH [16:16] I have a 2gb swap formatted partition. [16:16] stefg: I won't [16:16] I'm hundreds of miles away from my machine [16:16] wow!! i'm downloading gusty torrent on 1,200 KB/S [16:16] kakoonia: the best i can tell you to do is look up your monitor online and see if you can find its default refresh rate, usually anything under that is ok [16:16] what about KDE4, when it will be out? [16:16] loucosme, terminal type: swapon /dev/hdxx (put in your swap partiton) [16:16] oriez: You'd better seed it [16:16] loucosme: sudo /sbin/swapon ? [16:16] kakoonia: my monitor is supposed to run at 60 but im running it at 51 and its fine [16:16] jewbilee ok.. checking it now, i installed my drivers with Envy, is it good? [16:16] oriez, yep, people are awesome in the Ubuntu community [16:16] could anyone help me with this issue? -> in my box (ubuntu gutsy + kde + ati + aiglx), some apps don't run, exiting with this error: Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0". [16:17] Phuzion, wow thats a tough one [16:17] jewbilee: thanks! === chryss_ is now known as chryss [16:17] kakoonia: envy is a terrible idea, but thats likely not your problem [16:17] loucosme: sudo /sbin/swapon -a [16:17] jonasj: that command does nothing for me. It seems that gedit is loading, but nothing happens [16:17] ItchyHobo, isn't there an apt-cdrom updater or something? [16:17] hehe [16:17] kakoonia: if youve installed the drivers, and ubuntu recognizes them, you should be fine. you just need to fix the refresh rate in order to get your screen to stop flickering [16:17] etzerd: so try them both (actually there's xfce and some others, too) you can have them all installed and keep the one which you like best. you will have a session chooser at login [16:17] kakoonia: are you using gutsy? [16:17] I'm back and needing help installing Ddrescue, anyone want to walk me through it? [16:17] anyone got a script for turning off the composite window manager on the start of a game and turning back on when the game is off? [16:17] jewbilee: ye [16:17] kakoonia: it didnt prompt you with the new driver installer program? [16:18] i forget its name [16:18] Phuzion, like you said you can only update from one version back [16:18] right [16:18] so, i want to upgrade to 5.10 using an ISO [16:18] After succesfully upgrading from 7.04->7.10, I can no longer run aMSN. I get the following error. "Loading TkCximage failed. This module is needed to run aMSN. Please compile aMSN first, instructions on how to compile are located in the file INSTALL." I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling in Synaptic package manager already, and have not had any luck with google. [16:18] Sinlore: sudo apt-get install gddrescue [16:18] arijus: does gedit not open at all? [16:18] any apps or packages that are a must have? I'm a beginner trying to embrace open source:-) [16:18] jonasj: yes [16:18] cdm10 now it's stopped a little bit and seed it... i will also seed it after that [16:18] art1, I typed the command.. anything else? thanks [16:18] gtrew, theres a script on ubuntu forums to install amsn under gutsy [16:18] gtrew, try "sudo apt-get install txcximage" [16:18] gtrew, might i recommend pidgin [16:19] john__, what kind of programs do you use [16:19] Phuzion: was that a typo? or are you still running hoary ? [16:19] john__: well, that depends on what you want to do. [16:19] loucosme: you could also do like "man swapon" :) [16:19] stefg, no, this is an old server sitting at home [16:19] and yes, stefg it is still running hoary [16:19] arijus: but it doesnt open the file, or what? [16:19] Phuzion, do you mind if i ask why do you want to upgrade it [16:19] multimedia editing, web page creation [16:19] jonasj: iĺl try to reboot. I think itś not gedit problem [16:19] hoary LOL how du pronounce that [16:19] erUSUL: I have a harddrive that the partition disappeared, and I was wanting to save the data. [16:19] Phuzion: everything before dapper has reached !eol and should not be used [16:19] jewb: im not sure.. when i installed gutsy, it asked me if i want to enable the graphics card, and i applied, then i installed drivers with envy, now there are updates, didnt realy check them now (i only installed updates after installation) [16:20] !eol | Phuzion [16:20] Phuzion: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/LifeCycle [16:20] stefg, i am aware that hoary is EOL [16:20] john__, for web page creation try kompozer [16:20] jewbilee : it was for you [16:20] checking system monitor now. Memory and swap history shows used swap 0 bytes, 0%. [16:20] !info gpart | Sinlore [16:20] sinlore: gpart: Guess PC disk partition table, find lost partitions. In component universe, is optional.

[16:21] :p [16:21] Phuzion, i tried to do the same on a friends laptop and ended up just phyiscally going to the machine and doing it, hope you find a solution and if you do let me know [16:21] pl == perl or maybe poland [16:21] Phuzion: from hoary?.. MIGHT be easier to just back up your data and do a clean install. [16:21] Poland :P [16:21] IndyGunFreak, It's a machine 700 miles away [16:21] Phuzion: Personal opininon. Backup and reinstall Dapper.... upgrades tend to break [16:21] thanks CochiseIRL stupid question can kde programs run on gnome [16:21] in fiesty, if I opened enough terminal windows, I would get a big button on the lower task bar that would display the window titles and let me pick one - now I just get 100 dinky buttons labeled "..." - how can I get the consolidated button? [16:21] Phuzion: good luck [16:21] Phuzion, that is a goof idea [16:21] john__, yuo they can [16:22] !clone | Phuzion [16:22] Phuzion: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate [16:22] john__, yup they can [16:22] Phuzion, do u have a friend who is 700 miles away?

[16:22] Phuzion, man its an ubuntu install even a grandma can do it [16:22] ta1-> what do you mean browsing? can you clarify what you are doing? [16:22] CochiseIRL: the client doesn't really matter, you still join the same way [16:22] jonasj: ok, can you paste the same command again? [16:23] Snille, screensaver does that by default for me [16:23] EdgEy, yeah, but most of my friends are all "dur lets download zwinkys on our computer because i use myspace all the time lol" [16:23] using nvidia twinview [16:23] snille: nvidia twinview clone [16:23] i'm the town's local geek squad [16:23] jonasj: i don't remember the path [16:23] IndyGunFreak, depends if you want to use irc commands or the clients gui [16:23] arijus: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [16:23] im lso new to irc any tips? how do you guys keep up with all this random conversation going on? [16:23] bulmer: click on places:network.. it usually shows everything on the network.. it just hangs for me now [16:23] sudo /sbin/swapon -a didnt do the trick. Is there anything else I can check? I followed all of the guides to partitioning to the T. IM just stumped [16:23] Phuzion, man good luck hope u find something [16:23] CochiseIRL: well ya, of course... [16:23] ta1: But then you only get the "size" of one monitor. Not a spanned desktop, right?

[16:28] you can add an entry to fstab and it will mount on boot [16:28] jonasj: you nickname is quite similar to one name. Whatever. [16:28] arijus: what was your other question? [16:28] there's just a couple KDE apps that I like... k3b, Ktorrent, and Amarok. [16:28] ? [16:28] so i have ubuntu 7.10 do i need to install a virus scanner, firewall, spam blocker?

[16:32] how do you install sun's java runtime from apt-get? [16:32] * IndyGunFreak would rather have his face stomped on by Rosie O'Donnell wearing golf cleats, than use KDE [16:32] I have 1gb ram and what ever is the default windows manager with Gutsy [16:32] Is IRC safe... can somebody hack into my pc if I keep IRC open and I use ubuntu 7.10 (I'd like to really thank everybody in advance for all their help:-) [16:32] IndyGunFreak, thank for the head up i was seriously considering kubuntu [16:32] ItchyHobo: its all opinion, i just absolutely hate it.

Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre [16:32] ItchyHobo: if i didn't use Gnome, i'd use Xfce.. [16:33] briantumor, i have a link to a guide on sec [16:33] xfce is miserable on ubuntu >_> [16:33] So the swap file should remain at 0 bytes used at all times?

[16:34] briantumor, http://www.howtoforge.com/the_perfect_desktop_ubuntu_gutsy_gibbon its in this guide on the third or fourth page, you must enable medibuntu as well but itĺl tell you how to do that [16:34] Does anyone know how to get Konqueror to use Ktorrent for the default torrent program?

[16:34] thanks all I havent done a fresh ubuntu install in about 4 years [16:34] just upgrades [16:35] riotkittie: now that said, i run Gnome on my fast laptop and my desktop, but my slow PC and slow laptop, run xfce [16:35] symlink: so that means you've _never_ done a fresh install or what? [16:35] did anyone ever updated the packeges suggested by the update manager, and it caused him probs with WinXP? [16:35] briantumor, just in case u dont want to sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [16:35] http://i5.tinypic.com/2lcxpvr.png [16:35] symlink: its not that hard to install [16:35] has unbuntu been around 4 years? [16:35] jonasj, the last one I did was in 2005 [16:36] symlink: that's not exactly 4 years ago :) [16:36] kakoonia: yes and no [16:36] how do i mount a new hard drive? [16:36] I dont remember it booting to live cd [16:36] sry [16:36] miscalculated [16:36] 3 years [16:36] erUSUL: you did update, and it didnt cause any probs? [16:36] Can someone confirm that my swap file should read 0% used at all times? [16:36] IndyGunFreak: i'd hesitate to call even the slowest of those the kind of machine that people are prone to saying "oh wow, you need xfce. srsly" for. :P [16:37] riotkittie: well, i didnt list my slow PC...lol [16:37] loucosme, i think someone already mentioned swapon [16:37] i installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package in synaptic as well as mplayer and mozilla-mplayer but i cant view wma or quictime online with firefox [16:37] loucosme, try it [16:37] kakoonia: true, almost everybudy installs updates (unless you have a very good reason to not do so) [16:37] Sinlore: internal or external hd? [16:37] I typed the command mentioned [16:37] internal [16:37] what should i install instead of mplayer? or is that not the issue? [16:37] Bttv on a 6.06 machine, have some channels but no color nor sound what's wrong ? [16:37] erusul: nm dude. [16:38] blahblahx, did you uninstall totem-mozilla? [16:38] riotkittie: 700mhz, 256ram, some generic 128mb video card, 40gigs.. but it doesn't get much use, it sits on my reloading bench to track reloads, ammo, and its hooked up to the internet so i can order stuff while i'm thinking about it. [16:38] uh let me check [16:38] sinisterben, warty warthog came out on 18/oct/2004 [16:38] jonasj: internal [16:38] Sinlore: what is on the drive? partitions, filesystems? [16:38] is anybody experiencing hang ups of firefox in gutsy? [16:38] CochiseIRL, I see [16:38] hi [16:38] stefg: it's wierd - if i use -d ata I can turn on smart and get basic health, but it won't give me a log, self test or anything else [16:38] riotkittie: but i thinkt hat could PC could run gnome, but it runs great with xfce. [16:38] typed the sudo swapon command a few times. I dont know if theres even a problem with the swap file. Should it read 0% used at all time? [16:38] I want to upgrade my feisty install to gusty. It's a desktop install, but I want to do this remotely. Can I just use the instructions given on ubuntu.com for servers? [16:39] jonasj: it has a ntfs partion [16:39] Okay, I need some little help. I need to delete GRUB, while leaving XP intact. [16:39] after typing sudo /bin/swapon -a, nothing seemed to change. [16:39] loucosme: mine usually does [16:39] Sinlore: go Places -> Computer. do you see your partition? [16:39] stefg: smartmontools docs suggest i should use -d sat for a SATA drive, but my version r rejects that as invalid [16:39] someone here that can enlight me on the 'laptop hdd killer bug'. and I know it isn't an ubuntu issue but since that issue is in the ubuntu community spotlight.... [16:39] bruenig: its not installed. what happens is the mplayer mozilla box shows up where the video should be, but when i click play it flashes: getting playlist, and then doesnt play the movie [16:39] Completely off subject, but does anyone know where the statement "Yes Virginia there will be dragons" comes from? [16:39] jonasj: no i dont [16:40] blahblahx, probably need to configure it [16:40] how so? [16:40] Konam, it spins the HD disk too fast [16:40] Sinlore: and you're sure that the drive is properly connected and everything? the bios sees it upon startup? [16:40] and rather violently [16:40] IndyGunFreak: okay. i have a 650/750mhz p3 laptop, 256 mb ram, ati mobility m1... used to be my main box. noticed no difference whatsoever between ubuntu with gnome and ubuntu with xfce. threw zenwalk on... was completely blown away at the change in performance between xfces :P [16:40] or is there another media player i can use that will integrate seamlessly? [16:40] loucosme - if you have enough ram, ubuntu won't swap out often [16:40] bruenig: or is there another media player i can use that will integrate seamlessly? [16:40] Does anyone know how to get Konqueror to use Ktorrent for the default torrent program? [16:40] I just want to know if the swap file is actually doing its job. The performance is terrible on this machine. Pentium 4 2.4, 100gb ram, fresh install. I'm thinkngi it may be related to the video card drivers [16:41] is it possible to do this: I have installed a .chm reader and Im wondering if I can somehow generate thumbnails automatically in Nautilus and the desktop, similar to the way pdfs and jpgs work? thanks. [16:41] blahblahx, it does integrate seamlessly, configure it, don't be lazy [16:41] jonasj: yes its properly installed and its showing in device manager [16:41] riotkittie: could be.. i had zenwalk to, and you're right, its fast.. but you're comparing, what is more or less slackware w/ eyecandy, to ubuntu, of course slack will be faster [16:41] By the way, what is swap for? [16:41] bruenig: how do i configure it? [16:41] Guerra yeah, Can you tell me which should be the ‘normal’ interval between each increase of the Load_Cycle_Count number? I know this number isn’t constant but tell me which you think it is, just to give an idea it could be helpful to more than one. [16:41] blahblahx, right click [16:41] badblocks is non-destructive, right? and how do i check the right blocksize to give it? [16:41] hoping someone can help - have a dell laptop that I upgraded from feistyt to gutsy and my dvd drive isn't recognised since the upgrade [16:41] oops, 1 gig, sorry its hard to type. .IRC is using up all resources. [16:41] i'm not sure i'd call xfce eye candy [16:41] loucas, 100gb RAM!! [16:41] * ItchyHobo faints [16:41] Swap is used when you run out of ram - run too much stuff at once [16:41] Sinlore: what does the system refer to the drive as? /dev/sdsomething? [16:41] riotkittie: wel, zenwalk is a pretty version of slack. [16:41] Sinlore: do you know? [16:41] Guerra: its for when you run out of ram and pages need to be swapped out, to the hard disk so other working running programs can use the ram. [16:41] this IRC window is going in slow motion. heh. [16:42] I would take 5% of a 100gigs of ram [16:42] thanks [16:42] jonasj: dev/hdb [16:42] errrrr. but a desktop environment is a desktop environment, regardless of the underlying distro, is it not. [16:42] hey, i'm looking for a nice IRC Client ! Who is the "best" [16:42] Guerra: its like a holding space for ram. the system still needs to know these things but it needs the ram for other more important tasks. [16:43] Sinlore: try doing 'sudo mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt' from a terminal [16:43] mgk_: depends on your personal taste. there is no "best". [16:43] Look at my CPU performance with JUST IRC and AIM Open. http://i5.tinypic.com/2lcxpvr.png [16:43] mgk_: gui or console? [16:43] i cant boot of my live CDs [16:43] no but knoppix is the worst ;) [16:43] sinisterben, there is a song called "Yes Virginia There Is A Santa Claus" but people now say "Yes Virginia There Is a " [16:43] thats horrible.. the computer is hardly usable. [16:43] Bruno_: what happens when you try to boot? [16:43] VSpike: i don't like IRSSI [16:43] max_bizzle, thanks I saw it on a book review [16:43] i get "bash: couldnt acces tty: job control turned off" [16:43] Vous pouriez pas parler français ??? === darrrsha is now known as nopo [16:44] sinisterben, no probs [16:44] knoppix is vile. but that holds true for all deb based live CDs. imo.

[16:46] mgk_: tried xchat, kvirc, konversation? [16:46] Bruno_: your only option may be the alternate install disc, tho i suggest looking around ubuntuforums.org - i know that's been mentioned repeatedly but i'm not sure if there's a "fix" [16:46] jonasj: Ok, i must go for now [16:46] Sinlore: if you type just 'sudo mount /dev/hdb' and press tab one or two times, does it suggest anything [16:46] i've lost gnome-panel.

I'm trying to get a hostap wireless card recognized, but I think certain modules (orinoco, prism54) are stopping it from working. so I added them to the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, (tried both just the module name and blacklist modulename) but that didn't block them. modprobe -r modulename for some reason doesn't take them out of modprobe -l. Please help. [16:46] arijus: you're welcome [16:46] VSpike: kvirc, hum :) [16:46] riotkittie: ok, thanks. [16:46] forg are you using ndiswrapper?

[16:49] VSpike: Thanks :) [16:49] so I modprobe -r orinoco etc. then when I modprobe -l those I -r'ed shouldn't be there right? [16:49] is it safe to install all updates after i apllied the main,universe,restricted,multiverse settings in the ubuntu software window? [16:49] ItchyHobo: nope, but i've been to karachi, and other places [16:49] [Guerra]: are you sure you want to uninstall grub? [16:49] ItchyHobo: from uk [16:49] Polish anybody?

[16:49] Sinlore: okay, so you got 4 partitions on that drive, not 1! [16:50] max_bizzle, nope englishis fine as office documentation has to be done in english [16:50] hola [16:50] ah ok [16:50] jonasj: i didnt have .. gulp [16:50] <[Guerra]> jonasj, do you have a solution that would be less painful than other solutions? [16:50] max_bizzle, plus my urdu is not good [16:50] sinisterben: well I must be doing something wrong because when I -r they still appear in -l [16:50] [Guerra]: you don't want the ubuntu installation to work any longer? then just boot from a xp restore cd and run "fixmbr" or something like that [16:50] <[Guerra]> zaxius: I'm a total Linux noob, sorry mate. Not a clue. [16:50] Do I need to recompile the kernel and just not even load the conflicts as modules [16:50] [Guerra]: if you have a windows install disc on hand, pop it in and enter recovery console [16:50] forg, and you have tried to blacklist them? [16:50] Anyone about who could help set up bluetooth obex and headset for skype? [16:50] <[Guerra]> That easy, riotkittie? [16:50] Itchy, you say there is a problem with compiz, i just went to the url. I have no idea where to start. I just set the visual effects to none. Still runs like crap. [16:51] Sinlore: are you SURE /dev/hdb is the harddrive youre talking about? [16:51] jonasj: yes [16:51] sinisterben: yup, I just opened up /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and added them, and when that didn't work I preceded the modulename with 'blacklist' [16:51] Guerra, we can get windows vista ultimate for 1 cent US so ppl there are just using pirate ms software [16:51] Sinlore: but it cannot be, if /dev/hdb has four partitions and your drive only has one! [16:51] sinisterben: could some kinda deamon be forcing the modules in? [16:51] [Guerra]: very easy. the windows CD will load everything that it needs to, then you should get a screen that's like "Press blah blah blah to blah blah blah, Press R to enter recovery console" [16:51] forg, sounds like you have a question out of my league then sorry [16:51] riotkittie: in the forum they just say that it happens with their feisty live cds, but its been happening to me with fluxbuntu, linuxmint and goblinx [16:51] sinisterben: no worries thanks for trying [16:52] I really appreciate it [16:52] is it safe to install all updates after i apllied the main,universe,restricted,multiverse and 2 websites settings in the ubuntu software package filter window?

[16:58] need to change time to day light saving time [16:58] LjL: I am a n00b but not that much ;) [16:58] jonasj: im positive [16:58] Sinlore: it's just impossible that hdb is your new drive if it shows 4 partitions and you know theres only 1! [16:58] Im having issues installing ubuntu on my RAID array. Can any1 help me out? [16:58] wbknox: are you sure that it hasnt changed itself automatically? [16:58] jonasj: no possible way it could be [16:58] wbknox, i think that should happen automatically, the clock should be updated from the internet. anyway, have you tried right clicking on the clock? [16:59] larson9999, and yeah 3d deaths are cool [16:59] jonasj: says operation not permitted . btw it is my music folder [16:59] wher i can find web builder like Dreamweaver mx for ubuntu?

[16:59] wbknox: the tzdata should know about that. so simply sync your time by sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com [16:59] jonasj: is there anyway to view the partions? [16:59] !kompozer | neumind [16:59] neumind: kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy, while for older versions you can add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: « deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tonyyarusso/ubuntu {edgy,feisty} universe » (pick your release and list it without brackets) [16:59] Sinlore: try installing gparted and looking at your drives. it will give you a good overview of what partitions are on what drives [16:59] ItchyHobo, oh, the games i don't go for. check out the linux game tome? [16:59] jonasj: /media/sda9/Music [16:59] ItchyHobo: have any idea abt this http://img253.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmf8.png this thing started when i installed Xubuntu [16:59] murlidhar: sudo in front [16:59] larson9999, thanks [16:59] jonasj: i was in root [16:59] jonasj: Do I have to get it off of a site or can I get it through terminal, and if so, can you give me the command? [17:00] jonasj, you from lithuania? [17:00] murlidhar: "sudo chown murlidhar /media/sda9/Music" [17:00] dotjay, sorry mate no idea about Xubuntu im still a noob [17:00] ItchyHobo: Imean the XFCE evironment in ubunut [17:00] murlidhar: (assuming your username is murlidhar) [17:00] dotjay: you need codec. its in the repo [17:00] jonasj: did that it still says ownership not permitted and my username is murlidhar [17:00] root@murlidhar-desktop:/home/murlidhar# sudo chown murlidhar /media/sda9/Music/ [17:00] chown: changing ownership of `/media/sda9/Music/': Operation not permitted [17:01] Sinlore: you can install gparted from add/remove, or with 'sudo apt-get install gparted'. then you start it from system->adminisrtation->partition editor [17:01] jonasj: ^ [17:01] murlidhar: that is very strange [17:01] murlidhar: is that a fat32 drive ? [17:01] dotjay: how do you update this screenshots from your desktop, manuelly or do you use something like nopaste or wgetpaste ? [17:01] no ntfs [17:01] hey all im getting a touchbook laptop hp [17:01] spiderfire: you see the songbird is playing the same file [17:01] neumind: no, what makes you think that? [17:01] stefg: ntfs [17:01] murlidhar: ok... that explains it [17:01] can i play with compiz on the laptop pen [17:01] how to mark certain packages in ubuntu not to be upgraded? [17:02] does anyone know how to stream winamp streams with xmms? [17:02] murlidhar: ntfs isn't a native linux fs, so it doesn't support linux permissions [17:02] jonasj: 1)im on gutsy. 2) theres a red icon at the upper right corner, that shows me i got 72 updates.. those updates appeared only after i switched a few filters in the preferences menu of software sources [17:02] Sigh! [17:02] stefg: so how do i change the ownership [17:02] Proxima-Cent_: press Print Screen, then upload it [17:02] stefg: /media/sda9/Music/ [17:02] kakoonia: yes, you said all that, and what ive asked four times is what 2 "websites" are you talking about? [17:02] kakoonia, and.... [17:03] how can I get the php command pear installed? [17:03] dotjay: ok thanks, i will try to write a script for that [17:03] murlidhar: that's an option during mount. usually the automounter takes care for that [17:03] jonasj: at system->preferences->softwaresources-> (the second tab) third party sources [17:03] jonasj: It says that it's unallocated. [17:03] By the way, has anyone been having problems with the restricted drivers for the ATI 2900 series? Everytime I install the driver, I can't boot up anymore, probably because it boots up in an unsupported resolution. Any ideas? Help would be great. [17:03] kakoonia, is asking about the updates when he tick source and other thirdparty apps [17:03] hi all [17:03] does ubuntu come with compiz enabled by default? [17:03] 2nd problem is that I can't go inside zip files in my image viewer (like ACDSee) even though I am using one that expressly states that it can do this. I have tried 2 different progs that should do this and have reinstalled everything related to zips. One of them did it for about a day when I first installed ubuntu and then stopped, i have been trying to fix it since. [17:03] Svish: I believe its in the php-pear package. [17:03] I am almost finish setting up my network [17:03] kakoonia: aah, the second tab! third party sources! that's what i've been asking about all along [17:03] jonasj: The partition for HDB that is. And it was the correct drive we were looking at. [17:03] zaxius: Yes, Ubuntu 7.10 does, if your computer supports it. [17:03] jonasj: these are the websites http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu [17:03] spiderfire: which codec are you talkin about is that the gstreamer? i alreasy have them installed and few days back before installing XFCe [17:03] need 1 last piece of help [17:03] kakoonia: YES, it's absolutely safe to upgrade then [17:03] stefg: all my other folders in the drive can be edited but not this folder [17:04] oh ya Guerra ati has a problem , but works [17:04] I use the following [17:04] iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $wan -j MASQUERADE [17:04] kakoonia_: Canonical is the parent company of Ubuntu fyi :) [17:04] Pici: what if i have 7.04? [17:04] kakoonia: you should also check the first two boxes on the upgrades tab, btw (security updates and recommended updates) [17:04] Crozar, what do you suggest I do to get those drivers working? [17:04] Pici: thanks. tried to search for pear, but for some reason that one didn't show up... O.o probably my fault, hehe [17:04] jonasj: i wrote a long message before and i almost got there.. and i accidently pressed CTRL+Z, so i had to explain again. [17:04] how do I save that, so I dont have to retype after a reboot [17:04] murlidhar: there might be 'illegal' filenames [17:04] zaxius: yeah but you need to install emrald to apply themes [17:04] jonasj: It says that the partition is unallocated for HDB. [17:04] how do I tell apt-get to install a dev version of something instead of a stable version? [17:04] Guerra, not any drivers work , you just want to play for instance counterstrike quake3 battlefield2 [17:04] zaxius: I beleive its in the repositories, but not enabled by default. [17:04] jonasj , Pici: thanks! [17:05] stefg: so any solutions? [17:05] hehehe [17:05] any idea how to enable it? [17:05] Guerra, those games work on the drivers but not on maximum capabilities [17:05] !ntfs | murlidhar [17:05] murlidhar: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [17:05] murlidhar, chmod 666 [folder] and files in it [17:05] Crozar, yeah, things like that.

[17:06] dotjay, mp3 codecs dont come installed by defualt [17:07] kakoonia: yes, if you want the software thats in them. it wont hurt to enable them.

[17:12] whats the difference of setting the volume usinc PCM vs Master Volume in alsamixer?? [17:12] I thought the master volume normally was the same as pcm.

I deleted one of the partitions and then tried to move the other to the start of the disk and grow it to encompass the emtpy space. It failed during the grow operation, but it appears that half of the file on the partition are gone. Any idea how I can recover them?

(the numbers go UGO, eg 600 will be owner readwrite, group + everyone nothing) [17:17] VSpike: don't waste your time on gutsy IMHO. Feisty is just fine [17:17] murlidhar: you can't "remove" it - you can only change it [17:17] stefg: why, what's wrong with it? [17:17] sagieg, look at f1 - f12 you will see a row grey drawing showing you its Fn base keys right? [17:17] murlidhar: what permissions do you want the file to have ?

[17:23] hi [17:23] but its all white , is that how its suppose to be? [17:23] stefg: once i fixed the kernel problems, the skype problems, the alsa problems, the fetchmail and postfix problems, the vmware problems and X server problems, it seemed OK :) [17:23] <|neon|> i'm using firestarter but when i try to browse my local network it does not find it i have to disable the firewall with firestarter to be able to see my local network what can i add to be able to see the local network without having to shut the firewall everytime thx [17:23] sagieg, works? [17:23] linxeh: the lock on the folder is back . and the owner is root [17:24] i removed cedega cause wine alone works better and found that when i right click menu option cedega still there [17:24] jonasj: NTFS signature is missing. [17:24] Failed to mount '/dev/hdb1': Invalid argument [17:24] The device '/dev/hdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS. [17:24] Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a [17:24] partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? [17:24] how are you [17:24] how do i remove the uninstalled app from right click open with menu [17:24] VSpike: Don't believe the hype. There are cases where the new kernel might improve something, but weighing pro's and con's there is no point in dealing with gutsy's bugs for no real feature gain [17:24] Hello, why doesn't the lines in /etc/rc.local: /etc/init.d/squid stop [17:24] iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 [17:24] /etc/init.d/squid start [17:24] do the same as sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 && sudo /etc/init.d/squid restart ?? in a terminal [17:24] i am fine [17:24] sorry dont't know [17:24] ok how do we sloe the barage of questions lol [17:25] i downloaded a theme at gnome-look.org, it was categorized as gnome-theme , how do i install it? [17:25] re-enable auto-kick for flooding? [17:25] sagieg, then the screen just had to be activated , your lucky that ibm has no conflict , older laptops should be configured directly from xorg.conf file and that you must go through console and doing the commands then restarting X long story good for you bro [17:25] Commonly helps [17:25] brb [17:25] <|neon|> i'm using firestarter but when i try to browse my local network it does not find it i have to disable the firewall with firestarter to be able to see my local network what can i add to be able to see the local network without having to shut the firewall everytime thx [17:25] where cen I alter which module to be loaded when I plug in my webcam? [17:25] stefg: I can't seem to produce a response. Talk to me like a 3-year old: when, exactly, do I press 'esc'? [17:26] stefg: i had backported packages in feisty, plus updated nvidia driver and compiz, custom firefox and thunderbird, so assumed that by upgrading and going back to packaged versions all round i'd get better stability. That was the thinking, at least [17:26] Sinlore: i think something is screwed up with the partition layout on that drive. with the four partitions showing in fdisk, gparted not seeing any, and mount not recognizing it as ntfs [17:26] Can any1 here help me out? [17:26] Im having installation issues [17:26] what's THE way to store your web bookmarks online? [17:26] Crozar : Thanks alot :) will start figuring out if my wireless connection is working [17:26] jonasj: So give it to my son for christmas since it doesn't work? [17:26] Sinlore: if possible, i would recommend connecting the drive to a windows system, moving all the data off it, and wiping it and starting it for scratch [17:26] appellation: directly after the BIOS POST... when you see the 'press esc for menu' message [17:26] ldiamond: whats the question.? [17:27] sagieg, your welcome not a problem :) [17:27] stefg: for example, the dovecot included with feisty is no good, so i had to use prevu to the one from gutsy [17:27] jonasj: There any way to salvage whats on the drive through Linux? [17:27] <|neon|> larson9999: use foxmark or similar with ff [17:27] kakoonia_, My raid array isnt detected properly. I have compiled the right driver for it, but how do I use this driver during the installation? [17:27] where i can find a support channel for lirc? [17:27] stefg: badblocks completed without error and a smart self-test just passed OK [17:27] Sinlore: maybe -- i don't know -- i don't know so much about windows file systems. but if it was me i would find a windows machine. [17:28] stefg: could it just have been the powercut, or do you think it was a kernel problem? [17:28] is there any risk of loosing stuff if i install a new kernel? [17:28] Bruno_, installing the ones in the repos? shouldent be. [17:28] jonasj: Ok, thanks, appreciate all the help. [17:28] jonasj: Secks later? =D [17:28] if the integrity of that data is in question, i'd shoot for a windows box - where you can chkdsk and defrag, especially if its ntfs [17:29] Dr_willis: will i need to reboot or anything? [17:29] VSpike: good, you might get away with it. And i have no idea what could have caused it, although blaming the kernel is quite popular with me these times [17:29] Bruno_, normaly the old kernel entries are kept in the grub menu - so you qn go back to the old kernel if any isues arrise [17:29] Sinlore: ? [17:29] ldiamond: sorry, im afraid but i cant help you out with this one.. but what i ment is for you to shoot out the question at the channel, so that way if someone knows, he will help ya out [17:29] how can i log into root , and is there a way to change the hostname/ language ? [17:29] Bruno_, to use a new kernel - you will need to reboot. [17:29] So I can dual boot with Ubuntu and Windows and it won't mess naything up right? [17:29] where do I download Ubuntu to put it on a CD to do that [17:29] sagieg: use sudo? [17:29] Yea, Ive been doing that for 2 days now [17:29] Dr_willis: but not right after the installation right? [17:29] no1 answered [17:29] sagieg: root is locked. use sudo and your password. [17:29] how can you install a program file downloaded to your desktop? [17:29] hello [17:30] @ jo2 sudo dpkg -i *.deb [17:30] yes, you can dual boot [17:30] !software | jo2 [17:30] jo2: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [17:30] Bruno_, right. This isent windows. :) [17:30] ahha [17:30] ok.. [17:30] Dr_willis: how can i delete old kernels? [17:30] sagieg: language is changed through system->administration->language support [17:30] whats raid array? [17:30] how in kompozer on easy builder? [17:30] hi [17:30] ldiamond : whats raid array? [17:31] Bruno_: fire up synaptic and mark them for removal [17:31] so do I just put the Ubuntu files on a CD restart my computer then it will give me an option to install it with dual booting? lol [17:31] sagieg: and you shouldn't need to log in as root in a graphical environment, why do you want to do that? [17:31] how are you [17:31] stefg: k thanks [17:31] <|neon|> i'm using firestarter but when i try to browse my local network it does not find it i have to disable the firewall with firestarter to be able to see my local network what can i add to be able to see the local network without having to shut the firewall everytime thx [17:31] how can i change my name in irc? [17:31] stefg: No such prompt during startup. [17:31] any ubuntu-compatible ups ? [17:31] Is anything regarding graphics card changed in Gutsy. Because Feisty works fine. But when I boot Gutsy the screen goes blank [17:31] Bruno_, with the package manager. But normally its not worth the hassle to remove them [17:31] I can install Gutsy fine [17:31] but can't boot from hard drive [17:31] unlike Feisty [17:31] Bruno_, keep them around untill you are sure you dont need them - in any case [17:31] hi [17:31] hi [17:31] please_hel2: /nick YourNewName [17:32] thx [17:32] how are you === please_hel2 is now known as psie [17:32] appellation: do you have a dual boot machine? then you have the menu right away. choose recovery mode there [17:32] good you? [17:32] hi psie :-) [17:32] hi [17:32] Dr_willis: ok. If i have the kernel installed with gutsy, should i upgrade it to a k7 (i have an athlon processor) or should i just keep the one i have? [17:32] <^punisher`> Hi [17:32] How can you dist-upgrade from dapper-drake to gutsy-gibbon? [17:32] <|neon|> is there a channel for firewall discussion? thx [17:32] If I have a directory with a lot of files and a complicated directory structure on one disk formatted in some Linux format and I have copied this directory to another disk formatted in FAT32, how can I verify that all data was transfered correctly? Can I do some hash function on a directory structure? Will there be problems because the hash will be different on different formats (just like the size of files is different)? [17:32] <^punisher`> unsure [17:32] bleh_: you can't [17:32] the downloaded file is a .bin file not .deb. do i need to download and install GDebi to install it? [17:33] Bruno_, the normal one is proberly doing fine for you. [17:33] i am felling sick :( [17:33] hi I use a restricted driver for my wireless card - sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. is there any way to work out what is happening? [17:33] bad [17:33] stefg, can you do it from the CD? [17:33] bleh_: you have to go from dapper to edgy to feisty to gutsy [17:33] <|neon|> !firestarter [17:33] i am good [17:33] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [17:33] bye :( [17:33] Dr_willis: ok thanks [17:33] Samjiman, i had two issues with gutsy. 1. i couldn't get me card installed without using envy. 2. i had to uninstall e*m or whatever that is that's new to gutsy. [17:33] cya [17:33] stefg: I think that may be it. Type 'recovery' or 'rescue'? [17:33] riotkittie, stefg could you just install gutsy over dapper? and have it replace everything but my home directory [17:33] i see [17:34] so there is a difference [17:34] bleh_: you would have to go 6.06 -> 6.10 -> 7.04 -> 7.10 ... that's nonsens and won't work anyway without breakage in 90% of the cases. reinstall [17:34] suspected as much [17:34] bleh_: you'll have to upgrade first to edgy, then fesity, then gutsy. or wait six months and go straight to hardy [17:34] <|_SpY_|> anydoby knows where is the path of php5 in ubuntu? im try to use "whereis php5" but he dont return php bin... anybody knows? [17:34] bleh_: if /home is on it's own partition, you're all good. if it's not.... can you create a new partition for home and cp everything to it? [17:34] anyway to change system hostname? [17:34] riotkittie, how do you do that while ubuntu is booted? [17:34] could someone walk me through it? [17:34] is hardy going to be any LTS release? [17:34] appellation: there is a menu entry that says recovery mode... nothing to type, just to select by arrow up/down and pressing enter [17:34] Whats the best video format to burn into a DVD. so i can be able to watch it like how dvd movies plays. is it asf or mpeg4? and which one of these formats I can cut & configure more. sorry for my bad language. I need an expert in filming etc. because I wanna do this large file. then keep cutting matches from it to saparate them to alot of dvds. if you know what i mean -.- [17:35] could anyone help me with this issue? -> in my box (ubuntu gutsy + kde + ati + aiglx), some apps don't run, exiting with this error: Xlib: extension "ATIFGLRXDRI" missing on display ":0.0". [17:35] larson9999: Gutsy won't even boot for me. But Feisty worked [17:35] bleh_: fire up gparted. create a new partition. then just sudo cp -aRp /home /to/that/new/partition [17:35] hmmm, well the only thing i care about is my ummm rhythmbox user files [17:35] larson9999: I can boot up the live cd and install fine [17:35] riotkittie, what about file ownership? [17:36] Samjiman, yeah, in gutsy on that machine i had to boot from an old kernel and then uninstall that app then it would boot [17:36] stefg: No response. Filename not found. Bootup provides me with two prompts during startup. The first ask whether I want to boot from Linux or CD. The second is the yaboot prompt. [17:36] gparted. command not found [17:36] what program do i use to make PNG images? [17:36] bleh_: the "p" in -aRp preserves permissions [17:36] sagieg: system->administrtaion->network. you can change the host name there [17:36] gimp [17:36] bleh_: okay then sudo apt-get install gparted [17:36] larson9999: Aha, what app do i have to uninstall? [17:36] can somebody help me in VLC & burning a long movie file to saparate dvds? [17:36] jatt: gimp does that? [17:36] appellation: ah... that's a mac (ppc).... ok, i thought we were daling with grub, not yaboot [17:36] thanks jonasj [17:36] larson9999: maybe I can do it thru the recovery mode? [17:37] can it resize the partition its running on? i dont think thats particularly safe [17:37] does ubuntu have bash in it [17:37] nintendo64: yes [17:37] yes [17:37] how in kompozer on template view? [17:37] and when you install whatever you're version you're installing, select manual partititioning, find whatever you copied /home to and have it mounted as /home [17:37] Where do I download Ubuntu [17:37] riotkittie: i thought -a implied -dpR [17:37] sagieg, glad to help [17:37] stefg: Go it. It seems the online documentation is GRUB specific. Woe is the undocumented Mac user. Suggestions? [17:37] !gnome [17:37] gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. [17:38] how in kompozer on template view? [17:38] what is a good music player other than amarok? i need one that is light, and good at handling large playlists. ie, 10k songs + [17:38] Samjiman, assuming you have the same problem, i had to go to an older kernel. do you get lines of error messages that don't stop? [17:38] nintendo64: www.ubuntu.com of course [17:38] appellation: that's different, so you need to append the word 'single' to the boot parameters. but last time i had a ppc machine in front of me is quite a while ago... simply can't remember [17:38] any ipod convert with gui? [17:38] !gnome-theme [17:38] Sorry, I don't know anything about gnome-theme - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:38] riotkittie, i cant resize the ext3 filesystem ubuntu is running on. only option is to unmount it. if i unmount it. gparted wont even work will it? [17:38] bleh_: if you want to resize your root partition, start up from the live cd and run gparted from there [17:38] is there a way to listen to winamp radio on unbuntu? [17:38] Marfi, you can try mpd with the sonata frontend [17:38] bleh_: you have to unmount before you can modify partitions in gparted [17:38] Well, here is my issue: I inserted the following lines into rc.local (line brakes are marked with §§): etc/rc.local: /etc/init.d/squid stop §§ iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 §§ /etc/init.d/squid start... But the outcome isn't the same if I type the following lines into a termial: sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 && sudo /etc/init.d/s [17:38] bleh_, in order for you to edit a partition, it has to be unmounted. if its your main partition, you will have to reboot with the live disk. =) [17:39] Where do I download ubuntu [17:39] !ipod [17:39] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod [17:39] stefg: I'll see what I can get out of the ubuntu-powerpc forum.

[17:40] Samjiman, try with nosplash. check the forums. they helped me with both of my issues upgrading [17:40] sagieg, the 'xkill' command from a terminal, then click on the window to KILL dead. :) [17:40] Marfi, there are others, but sonata seemed the best (light and works well with lots of songs) [17:40] as soon as cd burns [17:40] but i cant open any terminals [17:40] larson9999: thanks, what did you call your topic? So i can search? [17:40] sagieg: press alt-f2 and type xkill [17:40] sagieg: in a terminal type xkill and then click on the windows you want to close [17:40] pramz, ty. will try it now. =) [17:40] sorry?

[17:50] nintendo64: there are many mirrors for updates [17:50] i can't unistall nor install anything [17:50] jafonso: usually you'll find it easier and better manageable to use softraid or LVM when using linux [17:50] GRocket: not sure - the method i used almost certainly wouldn not apply to you, unless you have the compiz icon intsalled [17:50] sjkwizard: im trying to install it also, and see if i can help you... btw: which package did you install? [17:50] I can do this in windows with S+ACDSee, but I want to dump windows [17:50] void2258: then you need an image viewer program that supports looking inside zip files. go find one! :) [17:50] nintendo64: you should auto search for mirrors [17:50] upt-get install -f doesn't work [17:50] What is the proper channel for issues with 3d-effects and compiz-fusion?

[17:53] i have a simple question for general knowledge, i remember xfce in general and xubuntu as a single case, that there was no gui tool for resolution changing, and im rather shure that at least in 6.10 there was no tool but there i downloaded xfce 6.04 to use as a medium to to install gentoo on an old pentium3 and it gave me a crappy resolution, and there i find a gui tool O_O, was it backported cause its an LTS? [17:53] kakoonia: apt-get doesn't work... [17:53] jafonso: and iirc even if the disks appear as fakeraid to windows, that doesn't mean the kernel does not see through the bluff. often you still see 2 different disks and can assemble an array with mdadm [17:53] not that I can find [17:53] How can I manually mount my iPod?

(Last I tried was many years ago...) [18:14] sudobash: Possibly. The moniter won't tell me anything except "Out of range", but seeing as it supports the resolution and colour range that seems likely. How would I set the refresh rate for the framebuffer?

(Going from feisty->Gutsy, as well as from one machine to another) [18:27] sudobash: with vista it works....according to you the problem is fn keys? if I change fn with ctrl for example it works? [18:27] bollocks. sorry, copy/paste messed up [18:27] Ashfire908: try nfsmount [18:27] Jeff ; thanx [18:27] i know the program! [18:27] but how do i set the settings? [18:27] josh04 will it let you display 1280x1024? [18:27] the new linux client for ETQW says that it must be compiled with the low latency kernel.

[18:28] Jimdb: it isn't. ubuntu studio has a low latency kernel by default. add their repos and install their kernel [18:28] sudobash: I can display 1280x1024 fine in X, but not in the boot screen [18:28] let me revise that: the new ETQW client for Linux states the linux kernel must be compiled as a low latency kernel.

[19:08] anybody know how to retrieve track info [19:08] insllvn: stupid question, but is the video widescreen? letterboxing might be what idit does [19:08] stefg: any way to "clear saved passwords" ? I've even tried removing the connection and creating it again... [19:08] zapconquest: xubuntu is for small machines so of course it's not the same as gnome. but it's still gtk, so you can add features from gnome if you need them [19:09] Hi all. Quick question: in my bottom panel I have the desktop switcher, right now it shows 4 desktops with all 4 on the top row; how can I get them to be in a two row square? I'm running compiz-fusion btw.

[19:11] acalbaza? try booting with all_generic_ide or use the alternate CD [19:11] acalbaza: try booting with all_generic_ide or use the alternate CD [19:11] MLG_GooseMann: wouldyou like a couple screenshots? [19:11] bpat: Does it say 4x1 or 4x2? [19:12] Sure. [19:12] MLG_GooseMann: right now, it's 4 columns, 1 row. But when I swtich it, I get a smaller area with 4x2. I'll put some quick screenies up [19:12] traveller18: but a.) there is no unpartitioned space. b.) you should fix the partition order [19:12] stefg says: Fatal error : bad logical partition 8 : enlarged logical partition overlap [19:12] how do i do a kernel upgrade?= [19:13] Well I'm getting there eventuually. most of the time I can't see what I'm typing because the screen freezes.

[19:14] traveller18: yeah, the partition table is a mess. run sudo fdisk /dev/sda, then choose x f w , then reboot. that will fix the mess first. but be careful, if the partition table is half broken already that might lead to a non-bootable system. backups are a good idea [19:15] hey does anyone know how I can give sudo permissions to a folder called "carnivore" in my filesystem? [19:15] well update manager doesn't really say that there is any new kernel, but upon typing uname -r i get 2.6.20-14-generic [19:15] whilst most users get [19:15] I need to do it because I have a shared thunderbird profile in that folder between windows and ubuntu [19:15] hey guys [19:15] 2.6.22-14 [19:15] stupid question.. how do i close a chat window in irssi? [19:15] why when I try to enable iplist, it says that an iptables chain already exist??? [19:16] how can i close any window in irssi (like a pm) [19:16] stefg what would you propose for me to make backups to ? [19:16] madman91 /window close [19:16] johnation33: make it ownt by root? [19:17] johnation33: in that case just do sudo chown root:root /path/to/that/folder [19:17] thanks Dr_willis_ [19:17] traveller18: that was directed at you :-) but in general: BACKUPS ARE A GEEKS BEST FRIEND! :-) [19:17] johnation33: chown -R if you want everythikng in that folder [19:17] i just installed urxt but there is no manpage for it. all i see when i call man rxvt is "Manual page rxvt(1) line ?/?

[19:19] I typed sudo chown root:root /carnivore [19:19] johnation33: is carnivore on /? [19:19] fat32 has a partition size limit i thoiught. but its bigger then that. :) [19:19] stefg i know that but i don't really have anything available to back up to? so should i wait until i get something to back up to or go ahead with it? basically will the system be salvagable if i do the fdisk thing?

[19:21] MLG_GooseMann: Okay, screenshots: http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=2x1desktopps7.png and http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=2x2desktopiv3.png [19:21] how do I give full sudo permissions to a mounted volume called carnivore in / ?

[19:22] IanLiu, have you the following tools - (A) a second computer (B) a network and (C) some CDs you can burn another linux CD onto? [19:22] alternate question, where would I find packages for older kernels? [19:22] johnation33-> you dont give sudo permission to a file system or volume, its the user you give access to [19:22] hey anybody how can I change the number of desktops in ubuntu 7,10? thanks guys [19:22] Dr_willis_: And I can not start another X screen because I can not run two of my GUI apps at once. [19:22] stefg my boot partition is my first partition, but i do have a live cd so i think ill go ahead with it [19:22] going to try that now [19:22] Can anyone tell me how to change the refresh rate grub sets? [19:22] MLG_GooseMann: Okay, so removing it and adding it again helped, but now I have 4 desktops, yet I can only switch between two of them ;( I see no option to add a workspace [19:23] Cyllene, You are a little confused. :) ssh Starts the 'vncserver' program Which you then connect to with a 'vncclient' You do get a full desktop Inside the client window. [19:23] how do I give full sudo permissions to a mounted volume called carnivore in / ? [19:23] yes, why? [19:23] oh gotcha bulmer [19:23] Dr_willis_: You are confused about what I need to do [19:23] traveller18: alright, having /boot separate and as the first one make it unlikely that grub will fsck up. [19:23] Cyllene, vncserver is a very powerfull and flexiable tool. Thers dozens of ways to use it other then sharing the 'currently running desktop' [19:23] IanLiu, let me get you a url [19:23] so I do I give myself full sudo permissions to a mounted volume located in root at /carnivore ? [19:24] Cyllene, You want to hide the currently running desktop, which has 'share this desktop' enabled? [19:24] *how [19:24] Hodapp-> you just have to google for older kernel source [19:24] hi there. im a new to ubuntu but somewha computer savvy [19:24] scguy318: nope... dropped to the busybox again... [19:24] hey anybody how can I change the number of desktops in ubuntu 7,10? thanks guys [19:24] acalbaza: looks like you might have to try the alternate CD then [19:24] Soflaguy: hello [19:24] bulmer: Surely some packages exist with binaries? I'm just trying to avoid needing to build a kernel [19:24] Dr_willis_: I need to control _one_ X session but I want to control it remotely so that if someone walks up to my computer and turns on the monitors, they can't control my pc locally [19:25] !queque [19:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about queque - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:25] ondro: right click on the workspace squares on the bottom right corner and click preferences [19:25] scguy318: any way to tell what dropped me there? [19:25] IanLiu, I am not saying this will recover anything / everything, but depending on the value of the information: http://www.porcupine.org/forensics/tct.html [19:25] if i make a partition and install ubuntu will windows still boot up or which has priority? [19:25] ompaul: no need, I RM'ed some not critical files from my desktop [19:25] I have a Gateway MT3418 notebook, and I went to Gateways website for drivers for UBUNTU but they don't have them? And after emailing them they said that they do not support it and that I have to go back to Vista. [19:25] how can I make courier imap automatically delete messages from mail server after they are downloaded by a user? [19:25] kapace: ubuntu has priority [19:25] Hodapp-> that meant someone has to have the intimate knowledge of such...i doubt it if you'd find many that do, i dont for one :) [19:25] kapace: grub will let you switch [19:25] how do i get tar to put the files in like root? (/media/shareddata/rootdrive/file to /file) [19:25] unless you change grub [19:25] ompaul: thanks ;) [19:25] ok [19:25] scragar: thanks [19:25] stefg see you in a couple of minutes hopefully [19:25] hey anybody how can I change the number of desktops in ubuntu 7,10? thanks guys [19:25] does samba come built in with ubuntu 7.10 ? [19:25] IanLiu, well then go learn (A) backups and (B) to be more careful with rm ;-) === lymeca_ is now known as lymeca [19:26] =) [19:26] Cyllene, if using gnome and vino, there may be a vino setting for that. I never do it that way. so thats about all i know. [19:26] How do I give myself full sudo permissions to a mounted volume located in root at /carnivore ? === nonewmsgs_ is now known as nonewmsgs [19:26] !vino [19:26] Sorry, I don't know anything about vino - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:26] Ashfire908-> sudo tar xvf sourc dest [19:26] !info vino [19:26] vino: VNC server for GNOME.

[19:26] ondro: rightclick on your workspaces and click preferences [19:26] Can anyone tell me how to change the refresh rate grub sets? [19:26] acalbaza: what happened before you got dropped to busybox? [19:26] scguy318: splash screen [19:27] every computer manufacturer doesn't have drivers for UBUNTU! [19:27] acalbaza: if you boot without quiet splash, what happens? [19:27] oh shit that was easy... thanks and sorry to bother u guys [19:27] johnation33-> sudo is equated to root that has the full root access to file systems [19:27] acalbaza: and all_generic_ide [19:27] when running compiz(with xgl) the screen goes black after a while when I'm watching a movie, how do I fix this? [19:27] scguy318: trying that now [19:27] bulmer, huh? [19:27] Can anyone tell me how to change the refresh rate grub sets? [19:27] every other time I suspend, the laptop then immediately suspends or hibernates again. How to troubleshoot? [19:27] Ashfire908-> double huh? [19:27] what do i need to do so i can connect to my ubuntu desktop from a mac or windows box on my lan [19:27] Do you need drivers for UBUNTU???? [19:28] bulmer, oh sorry. i mean put the files into the file like that [19:28] josh04: grub settings are in /etc/grub.d but I don't recomened editing them unless you know what your doing [19:28] !repeat | josh04 [19:28] josh04: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [19:28] how does sound juicer retrieve cd data? [19:28] Soflaguy, that's because they are already in ubuntu [19:28] Soflaguy, what sort of drivers are you looking for? [19:28] towlie: connect how? [19:28] Ashfire908-> sudo tar xvf sourc dest <-- this allows you to put files at destinations [19:28] what package does one find stdio.h in? [19:28] can i make boot from 1st hd default in grub? [19:28] scent, i mean set up file sharing [19:28] drivers for the MT3418 GATEWAY LAPTOPT [19:28] LAPTOP* [19:28] thompa: it reads it raw I guess, or whatever do you mean? [19:28] bulmer, huh? [19:28] Ashfire908-> double huh? [19:28] http://fusion.xdcc.it/bot/FuSiOn|017.html [19:29] and all the other include files for that reason [19:29] scragar: thanks ;) the_greeter: sorry, just frustrated after a day of troubleshooting [19:29] Soflaguy, is everything working? [19:29] this is what I mean by full permissions on a mounted volume: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2107144#post2107144 Only except, the mounted volume is not FAT32 but Ext3 [19:29] LAN, VIDEO, CHIPSET, ECT [19:29] Hodapp: stdio is standard input output, you will proberly already have it [19:29] no sound not working [19:29] scguy318: it stopped reading disk data [19:29] Ashfire908, I would recommend tar xvf file.tar.gz -C /des/tin/ation === Alan_ is now known as Alan [19:29] so how would I do it for Ext3? [19:29] scguy318: not much help... logging is dumped, but nothing helpful... i die at 81.764567 ext3-fs: mounted fs with ordered data mode [19:29] Hodapp-> those has not changed, they should be in same place [19:29] scguy318: i can put the same disk in and now no track info [19:29] hmm... perhaps the wrong include directory [19:29] thompa: try cdparanoia for rip needs? [19:29] i'm not try to extract files! [19:29] scguy318: if i reboot it works until i get a cd that does not [19:29] i [19:30] can i make boot from 1st hd default in grub? [19:30] Soflaguy, have you tried searching google for gateway mt3418 linux? [19:30] hmm... casper.log says "unable to find a medium containing a live file system"? [19:30] acalbaza: mm, just use the alternate CD then [19:30] i'm trying to tar them [19:30] johnation33, as far as i know - you must set the permissions on the files/dirs In the mounted volume. You cant just mouunt it in such a way that the OS overrides the existing filesystem permissions. [19:30] Soflaguy: what chipset is your soundcard? [19:30] scent, i mean set up file sharing so i can access my hard disks in my ubuntu desktop fom the other computers on my lan with file sharing [19:30] kapace-> the 1st partition is 0,0 the next is 0,1 [19:30] mmm let me go and see gimme one moment [19:30] Soflaguy, "drivers" are almost always in the linux kernel and not provided by hardware manufacturers [19:30] scguy318: ill try it, [19:30] Dr_willis_: not even like umask=000? [19:30] bulmer: slocate reports otherwise [19:30] johnation33, ive seen this asked befor.. If theres a way to 'override' them - ive never seen anyone mention it. I normally make a single dir on the volume and let the user i want have full permission./ownership of that dir. [19:30] hey everyone [19:31] hello [19:31] when running compiz(with xgl) the screen goes black after a while when I'm watching a movie, how do I fix this? (seems to be a powersaving "feature") [19:31] bulmer: but can i make it default, like if i want 10seconds it boots for 0,0 [19:31] simen: oh, when it fades to black? [19:31] scguy318, umask and so forth are options for vfat. ebcause the dos fs dosent have theproper permission features [19:31] simen: not sure actually [19:31] hey knightwise [19:31] Dr_willis_: ah [19:31] this is the mothrboard on the laptop [19:31] Motherboard: [19:31] Systemboard w/ NVIDIA C51MV w/o 1394 for Bishop - ARIMA [19:31] stefg ok so i was able to boot back up [19:31] kapace-> yeah, man grub or search google for tutorials on grub [19:31] !compiz | simen [19:31] simen: 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 [19:31] simen: try asking there [19:31] scguy318, IF thers a way to do it.. ive never found it yet. :) and ive had a LOT of arguments with people in here over this.. They say its possible but they have no idea how either. (but they are normally total linux beginners) :) [19:31] scguy318: im wondering if its a bug, or why it just would stop retrieving [19:31] hey everyone [19:31] Is it possible to install Photoshop CS in Wine? [19:31] traveller18: good... so now sudo fdsik -l should look different [19:31] ok, thx [19:32] howz it going [19:32] bulmer: thanks [19:32] traveller18: *fdisk -l [19:32] its going fine knightwise [19:32] knightwise hey you knightwise of the podcast? [19:32] Dr_willis_: ah ok ty [19:32] Sinlore_: lemme check [19:32] scguy318: well grip is pulling up data anyway so ill use that [19:32] is there a way of turning off the touchpad mouse? [19:32] nevermind, just need build-essential [19:32] Sinlore_: i'm like 99% sure that you can [19:32] scguy318, i encounter similer issues with removeable usb drives that are ext3 formated. and used on different disrtos/os's [19:33] Sinlore_: you can double check at winehq website, tho === John____1 is now known as John [19:33] bulmer, i'm not trying to extract files. i 'm trying to create a tar file. [19:33] hey all :] [19:33] leo_away: There a guide for installing it anywhere? [19:33] so that if I touch the touchpad it doesn't click? [19:33] Does anyone have a second to beta test my website? [19:33] hdevalence: System > Prefrences > Mouse > Touchpad [19:33] hmm drwillis, than how would I even create a new folder in my mounted volume with only read permissions? [19:33] John, sure [19:33] I just made two new skins and i wondered if someone could give me some quick imput [19:33] stefg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43298/ [19:33] Ashfire908, tar cf /dest/inatin/ [19:33] cheers jonasj :] [19:33] Ashfire908-> sudo tar cvf key here is c for create, man tar please [19:34] Sinlore_: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1815 [19:34] John, url? and what do you need tested?

[19:34] erm, i can't PM you ~_~ - it's http://67.18.176.247/forum/index.php [19:34] Sinlore_: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1815 [19:34] Kugra: do you know a CLI way of doing it? [19:34] that's the black theme - if you could just tell me what you like and what you don't like, that would be awesome :D [19:34] oh [19:34] traveller18: yeah, that's better. but there's still no unpartitioned space. so you just want to /format/ a drive, right? [19:34] Ashfire908, tar cvf MyArchive.tar /the/place/I/want/to/tar [19:34] Kugra: I'm not actually using GNOME [19:35] hdevalence: No. Sorry. [19:35] Sinlore_: whenever you have a wine doubt just check their site (it is very complete) [19:35] i dont know. when you said beta test, i thought you meant functionality [19:35] whats the latest kernel for ubuntu? [19:35] Ah, okay [19:35] bderrly, bulmer: i'm not stupid. i know how to use tar. i want to know how to create a tar and remove /path/from/root from the path /path/from/root/rootfiles [19:35] Kugra: Thanks for the advice though. [19:35] i don't really have much opinion on the skin [19:35] chymera: which version? [19:35] Ashfire908, and don't tar active databases have them dump [19:35] well just look at it, if you like it say it's nice, else say it sucks :P [19:35] bpat1434: Yes. [19:35] hehe [19:35] When I right click on a folder in the mounted drive and click properties, I can't change permissions because: You are not the owner, so you can't change these permissions. Anyone know how to solve this? [19:35] bpat1434: do you know how to fix it? [19:36] ompaul, i'm not copying dbs. [19:36] it's not terrible. it's not beautiful either. [19:36] chymera: 2.6.22-14 in gutsy [19:36] bpat1434: or are we mesed up together? [19:36] im in UBUNTU 7.10 in sound preferences pressing TEST - SOUND PLAYBACK, but no sound coming out. [19:36] *tarring dbs [19:36] John: looks a little bland to mt, too much grey, no actualy color(other than the occasional yellow) [19:36] Ashfire908, so my first comment counts [19:36] Soflaguy: what chipset? [19:36] Motherboard: [19:36] Systemboard w/ NVIDIA C51MV w/o 1394 for Bishop - ARIMA [19:36] stefg there is about 30 gigs of unpartitioned space or at least according to gparted [19:36] Ashfire908-> i never called you such, i merely ask you to man tar so you get more options, i cant remember them all [19:36] Soflaguy: what chipset is your soundcard? [19:36] hdevalence: we're messed up together :( [19:36] scragar: Yeah, okay.. more colour. got it :] [19:36] i dont know??? [19:36] hdevalence: you get it only with the non-gpl'ed repos right? [19:36] bulmer, i did/am looking at the man. [19:36] I though the osund wa sbuilt into the MB [19:36] Soflaguy: can you pastebin then the output of lspci? [19:37] Hey guys.

The volume control tells me that there are no sound devices present. But on restart of the machine or X. I get the drum roll. Can anyone help to get my sound back? [19:39] scguy318> I wouldn't doubt it [19:39] ompaul, I know how to do it. [19:39] it's a bit of a security risk [19:39] John: no it's non. that's nonsense.

[19:41] SWAT- sort of messed up last i used it. [19:42] traveller18: that's what gParted confuses. Hmmm... the partition table is screwed, so drop the idea of partitioning it now.

[19:43] Anyone having problems with propietary nvidia drivers just not working? [19:43] towlie-> swat? i guess it will show up on the menu and you can launch it [19:43] muxecoid: im sure a lot of people have :P [19:44] muxecoid, they screw up my hibernation and suspend. [19:44] hello. is it exists a windows replacement program url snooper ? [19:44] bulmer no it isnt in the start menu [19:44] scragar: failed to run it as root. The underlying authorisation mechanism (sudo) does not allow you to run this program. Contact the admin, [19:44] If I would want to extract a tar.gz file (Cairo clock theme ) to my /usr/share/cairo-clock folder what command would I have to enter from the location of where the .gz file is [19:44] I thought that prop. driver manager jyst works, but looks like it does not [19:44] traveller18: that's a game too dangerous for irc... you could easily loose the whole drive [19:44] towlie-> start menu? you mean Applications? [19:44] bulmer yes [19:44] scragar: but it isnt a fix. Where is the icon? Seems that a suspend has borked my ubuntu! [19:44] ompaul, I'll try that. [19:44] Ashfire908, so, cd /media/array0/drive0/part1; tar cvf /path/to/store/myarchive.tar . <<< note the dot [19:45] new2Ubuntu: tar zxvf nameoffile.tar.gz [19:45] scguy318: Did 3-click installation method work for you? [19:45] towlie locate swat and once you find it you can launch it [19:45] ompaul whats the . for? [19:45] where does pidgin store it iccon? [19:45] Paul_UK: that exact command is the exact command that the launcher from the menu runs. [19:45] new2Ubuntu: use the '-C /usr/share/cairo-clock' tar option [19:45] hi, is there a newsreader client for ubuntu that someone can reccomend me? [19:45] muxecoid: yes [19:45] muxecoid: im guessing it didn't for you [19:45] new2Ubuntu: then you would have to copy all that to the folder you want [19:45] Paul_UK: /usr/share/pixmaps/synaptic.png - icon [19:45] stefg agh ok, i guess ill just hold off on making a new partition for now [19:45] hey, how many icons are there supposed to be in System, Administration? [19:46] ompaul, ok [19:46] Crazy|One, the current directory and below [19:46] ompaul, let be try that [19:46] I've currently only got 6 [19:46] Does anyone know where pidgin stores its icon? [19:46] jewbille: /usr/share/pixmaps or something [19:46] ompaul ok [19:46] scguy318: did not work at all at work machine. With error about missing kernel modules:( [19:46] bulmer i tried but nothing happens when i launch swat in a terminal it just hangs [19:46] /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/pidgin.png [19:46] leo_away, erUSUL I tried doing it through the Computer explorer like window but paste isnt allowed I guess due to permissions [19:47] new2Ubuntu: because you need to be superuser to copy to that folder [19:47] scguy318: And worked only partially at home :( :P [19:47] muxecoid: you can try removing nvidia-glx to restore functionality, did you upgrade kernel recently? [19:47] scguy318: Any advice? [19:47] Paul_UK: that's probably because your user doesn't have administration rights [19:47] new2Ubuntu: you can run nautilus as super user doing sudo nautilus from terminal [19:47] jewbilee: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/16x16/apps/pidgin.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/22x22/apps/pidgin.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/pidgin.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/pidgin.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/pidgin.svg and /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/pidgin.png [19:47] towlie what kind of error you're getting if any? [19:47] new2Ubuntu: be careful with what you do while being sudo, you can break your system if you don't know what you're doing [19:47] none [19:47] leo_away, nah Ill learn the hard way, :) Willt ry above commands [19:47] scguy318: I'm dist upgrading home machine now, but at work machine it did not work even in gutsy [19:47] bulmer no error [19:47] jonasj, im pretty sure my os is borked lol. as i can recall more being there. Sigh, re-install here I come. [19:48] new2Ubuntu: where possible use the gksudo command over sudo for graphical commands [19:48] Paul_UK: no [19:48] towlie-> ps aux|grep swat is it launched? [19:48] Paul_UK: just log in to an account with admin rights [19:48] scguy318: :-/ [19:48] new2Ubuntu: the commands i gave you are only for extracting, not for coying [19:48] jonasj, my sound isnt working anymore and my add/remove packages icon is gone as well. [19:48] bulmer nope [19:48] Paul_UK: that could ALL be because of user rights [19:48] Paul_UK: you can fix that in two minutes [19:48] new2Ubuntu: s/coying/copying [19:48] leo_away, tar zxvf /source/location nameoffile.tar.gz /destination ? [19:49] Paul_UK: right click on the menu, edit menus, then system at the bottom [19:49] thanks scragar Ill keep that in mind :) [19:49] is there any way to reinstall the sound server in ubuntu? [19:49] Paul_UK: how many user accounts do you have on your systme? [19:49] jonasj: but nothing has changed! ok, let me try [19:49] 1 [19:49] !envy | muxecoid [19:49] Paul_UK: see if it's possible for you to get them back [19:49] reinstall it right? [19:49] muxecoid: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly! [19:49] towlie-> then that meant it didnt launch, all process should show up when doing a ps aux [19:49] mine [19:49] muxecoid: you could try it if you felt adventurous about taking risks [19:49] Paul_UK: no others? [19:49] scguy318, i msged you everything [19:49] no [19:49] new2Ubuntu: if the destination is outside your home you'd have to use sudo before all that [19:49] mine and root thats it [19:49] bulmer so what do i do [19:49] sawyer_: didnt receive, are you identified? [19:49] !identify | sawyer_ [19:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about identify - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:49] towlie-> where was it installed? [19:49] !nickserv | sawyer_ [19:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about nickserv - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:49] muxecoid, and if it breaks you get to take all the parts and put them together yourself again [19:49] err.. sorry [19:49] Paul_UK: : do you see "users and groups" under administration? [19:49] !register | sawyer_ [19:49] sawyer_: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [19:49] ty leo_away willt ry right now :) [19:50] scguy318, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43301/ [19:50] bulmer i guess the default location. i installed it with the package manager [19:50] jonasj: no [19:50] new2Ubuntu: yup, np [19:50] towlie-> i asked you to do a locate, now where did it get installed? [19:50] Paul_UK: ok. i'll find a solution for you, just wait two minutes, i'm pretty certain you won't need to reinstall. [19:50] jonasj, ok thanks [19:50] I have Ubuntu Gutsy and when I put a CD in it wants to open it up in soundjuicer and so it does. however in both soundjuicer and Rythombox it seems a lot of the time, the name of the CD and tracks are not being detected. I tryed turning off and on again and logging out and back into the account. putting the CD in and taking it out and in and out. and so on. ,but yep it seems 99% of the time I am having this [19:50] problem regarding the names. so must be some sort of bug. any way to sort this out? [19:50] Paul_UK: as I said, try rightclicking on the menu, then choose edit menu's and see if you can enable your options again [19:50] bulmer locate swat returns nothing [19:50] sawyer_: this is for sound? [19:51] towlie do an updatedb && locate swat may take a lil while.. [19:51] scguy318, it's sort of simple. had feisty. removed esd for pulseaudio and jack. some stuff work, some don't. removed pulse, left with alsa. updated to gutsy and i wanna reinstall esd. [19:51] scguy318, yeah [19:51] and since I use last.fm :) rather important that the players can name the tracks of the CD [19:51] sawyer_: should be a simple matter of sudo apt-get install esd [19:51] bulmer swat is in /usr/sbin [19:51] ubotu: Did you mean that just downloading kernel headers and driver from nvidia.com and installing is still the easiest and most reliable way? [19:51] sebsebseb: try playing one or two, see if the list updates once it starts playing [19:51] scguy318, yes did that but i don't have any init.d scripts for esd [19:51] scragar: I enable them and then they automatically disable! as in i check the box and then its unchecked by the system! [19:51] scragar: I have done this, and nope it don't update [19:51] scguy318, and problems still exist [19:51] towlie then in a terminal /usr/sbin/swat [19:52] sawyer_: like? [19:52] Paul_UK: intresting [19:52] bulmer i did that and it just hangs. nothing happens [19:52] Paul_UK: open a terminal and type 'groups' and paste the output here [19:52] scguy318, skype gives an "audio capture error", rezound doesn't play anything, audacity can't record. [19:52] How does ubotu answer your questions? Keywords? [19:52] towlie and nothing shows up on ps aux? [19:52] scragar: everything was fine last nite! [19:52] bulmer no [19:52] towlie i dont know then, you may have to re-install it [19:53] jonasj: paul vboxusers [19:53] what a pos package.. [19:53] ompaul: Did you mean that DL from nvidia.com and manaul install is still the easiest and the safest way to do it? [19:53] so for the time being when I want to play a CD on my computer, with the names being detected, so that the tracks I have listend to can be subbmitted to my last.fm profile. I will have to resort to using Vista (yes I got a dual boot) or putting WIndows or another Linux distro in a VM hummmmmmm geez, wow that sucks. [19:53] ok I pressed post in UBUNTU pastebin. [19:53] muxecoid: "word" <-> "response" [19:53] now what do I do? [19:53] Soflaguy: tell us the url [19:53] muxecoid, ubotu is summoned with ! and then the keyword [19:53] Paul_UK: okay, hang on a second [19:53] How can I remove a source installtion of something [19:53] someone here haven trouble with there nvidia drivers [19:53] ?? [19:53] Soflaguy: post here the url of your post [19:53] i can help [19:53] !nvidia [19:53] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:53] !alsa | sawyer_ [19:53] sawyer_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[19:54] yup [19:54] muxecoid, no you should use the restricted manager from the menu - system administration [19:54] ubotu: CD [19:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about cd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi === mehdi_ is now known as bayar [19:54] how do you setup a proxy in ubuntu?

[19:54] leo_away, Would this command be right? biju@mallappally:~/Eye_Candy/Screenlets$ sudo tar zxvf ninja-slim-clocks.tar.gz /usr/share/cairo-clocks [19:54] cause I got an error on running it [19:54] Soflaguy: command in Terminal [19:54] does anybody use or know iplist???? [19:55] cypher__: proxy server? try squid [19:55] Soflaguy: pastebin that please [19:55] is there any way to "repair" a ubuntu installation [19:55] cypher__ a program called squid very easy to use [19:55] i dont knwo what command in terminal is :( [19:55] it depends on what you're using su and sudo for [19:55] giggsey: you can try 'sudo make uninstall' but there are no guarantees that rule exists. You need to read the documntation for the software in that case. Consider using !checkinstall to install things like that since it creates a package [19:55] is squid allrdy on ubuntu ? [19:55] magicrobotmonkey: what did you do [19:55] there is no need to use su [19:55] Hello :) [19:55] threethirty: tried to upgrade to newer alsa [19:55] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43306/ [19:55] cypher__, you can install it [19:56] if you're using sudo to limit access for programs.. then it's a simple alternative to su [19:56] however [19:56] !rootsudo [19:56] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [19:56] Paul_UK: you need to reboot your machine and choose recovery mode from the boot menu. do you know how to do that? [19:56] jonasj, yes i do [19:56] if you're using sudo to limit access to guests/non-root-users to do some things a root accout can do, it's not really a good idea [19:56] Paul_UK: then you need to type a command [19:56] magicrobotmonkey: I dunno how to fix that, is there an uninstall script with the package [19:56] Paul_UK: usermod -aG admin YourUsernameHere [19:57] yea but i've gone far beyond [19:57] John: isnt that what setuid is for, i guess? [19:57] !crap [19:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about crap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:57] Paul_UK: (it's important that the G is uppercase) [19:57] I have a strange problem. I can't browse some web sites. For example intranet site. It's IP is 172.20.0.2. Mine is 172.21.x.x. Could someone say wht's wrong& [19:57] threethirty: i acutally have my home partion separate so a reinstall wouldnt be that bad, im just not sure how to do it [19:57] muxecoid: please do not do that [19:57] squid looks like just an http proxy [19:57] in short - sudo will cause a problem with malware getting root access (unless they can somehow get your password), but it won't stop a non-root account from getting root access [19:57] jonasj, ok let me try that [19:57] im looking to connect to IRC though a proxy [19:57] Paul_UK: once you've done that, press ctrl-alt-del to reboot, and then start up normally and come back here! [19:57] i have the IP and port allrdy [19:58] please help me! i am having problems in gutsy getting my screen to the correct resolution [19:58] just need the right app [19:58] jrib: Do what? [19:58] jonasj, ok will do [19:58] So if your the only person using your computer, then sudo is fine :3 [19:58] Hi. I've been reading about the option to encrypt the file system in Gutsy. That everything can be encrypted, *except* /boot. Well, if /boot cannot be encrypted doesn't that mean that someone can take out my hard drive, force a single mode boot and have access to everything?

[19:59] magicrobotmonkey: you can just put in your disk and install, you'll just have to be careful during the partioning part [19:59] threethirty: right, thats where im unsure of how to proceed [19:59] evi|one: if you have a separate boot partition i do not see how they would get access to everytrhing [19:59] Hodapp: To be honest, I don't really know how that works.

I can't find one anywhere [21:49] Ashfire908, which command [21:49] Ashfire: just try it [21:49] Ashfire: if it doesnt exhist, it till tell you [21:49] daarwing: the links are easy and there's some mirror selection system [21:49] daarwing, right on ubuntu.com under download [21:49] bruenig: any. [21:49] jewbilee, for script writing, that is not usable [21:50] Ashfire908, no literally "which command" [21:50] nulled: I wish people would realize the linux potential.... [21:50] daarwing http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ [21:50] sinisterben, i would recommend using 64-bit if u have a 64-bit system, u can still run 32-bit apps on it [21:50] Ashfire: i was assuming it wasnt for script writing, i thought it was just to see if they had the command [21:50] awewa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound [21:50] jason: check out my site about Linux.. I am deeply Linux Dude and TRYING to et people to 'See the light' http://planetxmail.com/index.php?option=mattsblog [21:51] bruenig: why does it matter? [21:51] Is it possible to reset gnome to the default settings ? thanks to all (top and bottom panel configurations) [21:51] aterphasma: it's not easy.. It only lets me install 7.10 [21:51] on a 64 bit or an x86 [21:51] the only other problem i had with gutsy install was getting DVD to play [21:51] Ashfire: what is it you're trying to do? [21:51] daarwing: x86 = 32bit [21:51] Hey now wait a second. [21:51] nulled: I'm checking it now... [21:51] I used that distro already though [21:51] spectre i have an AMD Sempron 3500 processor [21:51] is it really as easy in 7.10 as going to system-restricted extras or whatever? [21:51] Ashfire908, hmm, this is a who's on first situation. There is a program, the program's name is "which" it checks the PATH to see if an executable is in it. So if you literally go to your command prompt and type literally this thing in quotes here, it will tell you if the command exists or not "which command" [21:52] It said try a 32-bit distro [21:52] Ashfire908, replace command with whatever command you are testing [21:52] It doesn't leave the installer's i386 kernel on there by default? [21:52] I have a question, does ubuntu support gnome and kde at the same time? [21:52] Crap I bet it does somehow. [21:52] daarwing: x86 really is 32 bit [21:52] But that doesn't work... [21:52] ompaul: no go. [21:52] ompaul: tried everything on that page. [21:52] ompaul: just sits there, blinking cursor. [21:52] anybody installed gutsy on an AMD Sempron? [21:52] 64 bit never took off... no reason to convert all the apps... 32buit is fine... Intel released 64 bit processors but no one cared [21:52] bruenig, ok. [21:53] I can see why no linux distro has overtaken windows and OSX, if ubuntu is the easiest to switch to and it's this painful. [21:53] nwbie, it will run both, ubuntu comes with gnome and kubuntu kde. having both installed can get cluttered but it will run both [21:53] antec I running gutsy on a 3100 semperon [21:53] elliottcable, yawn [21:53] nulled: kinda agree, everyone is all about dual core now [21:53] elliottcable, then I suggest you choose the "verify CD" option on that boot screen [21:53] tatters did you use the livecd to install? [21:53] nulled: I'm from the philippines and here in my country Windows is the mainstream OS...BUT lately because of some social value connotated with Mac (people with macs are cool), people are starting to switch to mac...What i didnt like with this trend is that we will still pay for the mac...when it fact there are linuxes out there to boot... [21:53] bruenig: hmm? [21:53] elliott: what problems are you having with your ubuntu? [21:53] antec yup [21:54] bruenig, but what if i want to know if the bash supports it? do i do ""which command""? and how do i know if that's supported? :P:P [21:54] elliottcable, your crying makes me yawn [21:54] tatters i can't use the livecd, it gets frozen when booting, I'm using a sempron 3500 [21:54] how did you guys get DVD to work with gutsy? did you do the lub_dvdcss2 thing? or was that only for edgy? [21:54] nulled: well i don't actually have an ubuntu yet. i have a livecd, and a computer sitting at a black screen with a cursor - idon't know if those two together somehow add up to 'An Ubuntu', but somehow I doubt it [21:54] antec,the fastest way for you to solve this is to post a message here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ [21:54] bruenig: oh how very helpful. how very wonderful. you should be an op. [21:54] elliottcable, then I suggest you choose the "verify CD" option on that boot screen [21:54] Ashfire908, you mean how would you use which in a script to determine if a program actually existed or not? [21:54] Um crap [21:54] ompaul: yah, heard you, rebooting for the 11th time today now to do that [21:55] Elliot: what type of CPU and GRPX card are you running to get these Black screens? [21:55] antec,you need to write more details as possible [21:55] Hey guys, for the latest ubuntu (server) install, how do I force it to provide the install's kernel + modules to grub as an option? I need to boot with i386 support. [21:55] nulled: dont know what GRPX is, and it's a dual quadcore 2.66ghz mac pro === Anon5768 is now known as mekgp [21:55] Burlynn, thanks, I have another question, I have three partitions on my pc and I have ubuntu and windows installed, and the third partition is free, Can I install fedora and run have ubuntu and fedora on the same machine? does the installation manager recognizes the swap partition and allows me to boot from there, or there may be a conflict? [21:55] thanks spectre [21:55] ah ok, hdparm -I shows right info [21:55] whew [21:55] mac Pro in PPC? Or Intel? [21:55] no problems [21:55] grr, upgrade problems... After an upgrade the boot process freezes for 10m+ on "starting kernel log daemon" [21:55] antec: my only advice/help I can give is have you checked the cd for defects before running installer apart from that im relativly new to ubuntu [21:55] nulled: ... there's only one kind. [21:55] and I can not log in w/ any login on any terminal [21:55] just get timeoputs [21:55] nwbie, i have no experience with fedora couldnt say [21:56] sorry to bug again, but with gutsy the way to enable DVD is through that "system-administration-> enable restricted extras"? [21:56] Burlynn, all right, thanks buddy! [21:56] system won't even respond to ctrl-alt-del [21:57] elliottcable, well being mostly x86ers you could tell us which chipset it is and which CD you have - is it the x86 one [21:57] elliot: you have to understand your Hardware first like What CPU type you have and what graphics card you have in order to troubleshoot [21:57] cblack0: i thought ctrl-alt-del was only a windows thing... [21:57] does anybody know if I can install fedora and ubuntu on the same machine, or would recommend having only one? [21:57] matt_: nope. at console ctrl-alt-del should trigger a reboot [21:57] nwbie, you can [21:57] <[Neurotic]> hi all, (Gutsy) Open Office was crashing for me on load, so I removed openoffice.org-gtk, and now it will load. However, I can't use the word processor because I can never get a right click menu. Does anyone have any advice? [21:57] elliottcable, there are several different CDs [21:57] usually does anyway :) [21:58] hey everyone [21:58] cblack0: yeah i'm pretty sure it's only windows that responds to ctrlatldel [21:58] ompaul: the livecd i downloaded is the 64bit amd one, I think. and chipset, fuck if I know, whatever mac pros have. [21:58] tatters I tried to chech the cd, but it also freezes in the process [21:58] people use macs because they don't want to worry about hardware, it all just works. [21:58] need help with cyrillic fonts in nautilus [21:58] antec: did you do the MD5 checksums upon download? [21:58] my screen turns white after apply desktop animation ( Ubuntu 7.04 ) [21:58] HI all. I am strictly Ubuntu but have an Outlook PST file I want to pull my email and contacts from....any solutions [21:58] matt yes [21:59] antec: darn... that was my $.02 [21:59] elliottcable, ehh no it doesn't and your mac should work - so I think you have the wrong CD and we don't do bad language here - it keeps the temp down [21:59] matt :) [21:59] antec: I guess a bad burn could cause cd check to freeze, im not sure [21:59] elliott: Did you know that Apple recently ditched PowerPC architectures ( CPUS ) for favor of Intel? And that AMD is an entirely different Architecure ( CPU) from Intel and PowerPC ??? Man you really need o get it together! [21:59] sun chips > * [21:59] ompaul: what bad language? and i would think my mac would work, i'm trying this on the suggestion of several buddies in #macosx [21:59] PuppiesOnAcid: haha hi! [21:59] anyone knows how to install/setup cyrillic fonts in gnome? [22:00] why would someone who uses mac just so they can ignore things like you know what hardware and stuff they have on it switch OSes [22:00] nulled: Yes, I know this. [22:00] does cd check get checked before it loaded into ram? [22:00] if that is what you want, you have an OS for the willfully ignorant [22:00] elliottcable, read your last comment to me [22:00] hi, with what program can I open .rar files?? [22:00] ive got an error message after immediatley after i press enter to load ubuntu from the grub menu, it says --> "PCI : unable to allocate mem resource" or something like that.. how do i repair it? [22:00] Lawke: File Roller, you need to install unrar [22:00] Lawke: sudo apt-get install unrar [22:00] nulled: Thanks for telling me to really 'get it together' when you're stupid enough to try to tell me something as obvious as the fact that I upgraded all my computers to Intel years ago. [22:00] how can i reverse the windows animation using command line [22:00] thank you [22:00] nulled: and the CD said 'for 64bit AMD or Intel processors' on the ubuntu site - if that is wrong, it's the ubuntu site's fault, not mine. [22:01] elliottcable: easy man [22:01] elliottcable, no [22:01] Anyone know if cd check would freeze due to faulty media? === loucas is now known as SoteriouLoucas [22:01] Then why are you running an AMD ubuntu live CD in your Intel MAC? [22:01] elliottcable: whats the question? [22:01] bruenig, all right!, the thing is that I had fedora before, but I messed up the permission on several files. I installed ubuntu on a new partition, and I left the fedora partition intact. When I try to load the fedora partition, it starts as if it were from ubuntu and it freezes. If I format that partition and install fedora again, does it will solve the conflict? Do I have to do something special in order to tell the swap partition that I [22:01] am having 2 linux systems, or does the installing process on fedora does it automatically for me? [22:01] * bruenig suggests going back to ilife [22:01] nulled: First of all, it's Mac, not MAC. And the live CD, according to the download site, is AMD and Intel 64bit, Desktop edition not server, 7.10. [22:01] Ok fair enough [22:01] elliottcable: is your Mac 64-bit? [22:01] how do i edit sources.list when it says it is read only? [22:01] quick question..."screen resolution" says 85hz, but i only get 60hz (crt monitor and ati x1950) how to fix? [22:02] scguy318: Mac Pro, as I've said... many times, though this room does scroll fast. [22:02] jo2: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [22:02] elliottcable, lets just say you need the mac version and 64bit is not the type for your mac that is for the x86 chip set [22:02] I am strictly Ubuntu but have an Outlook PST file I want to pull my email and contacts from....any suggestion? [22:02] hmm i need to know how to get ubuntu to identify my webcam i hook it up nothing [22:02] nwbie, not sure about automatic scripts and stuff on each, but dual booting two distros is just a matter of editing the grub configuration file to include the new one. swap files can easily be shared, you just need to make sure that they are specified in each distros /etc/fstab [22:02] elliottcable, go get a powerpc version and it will work for you [22:02] ive got an error message immediatley after i press enter to load ubuntu from the grub menu, it says --> "PCI : unable to allocate mem resource" or something like that.. how do i repair it? [22:02] ompaul: Ah, then I WAS informed wrong. Where do I obtain the *mac* intel 64bit ubuntu? [22:02] ompaul: SIGH! For the undred billionth time - I AM NOT ON POWER PC. [22:02] nwbie, so you install that new one, fill out the short grub entry and you should be good to go [22:02] ahh [22:02] hi i need help [22:03] elliottcable: I thought 64-bit Mac Pros were extremely recent? how old is yours? [22:03] DosMetros: In my screen settings under "System" it has an option for 60Hz [22:03] ompaul: Mac Pro. Again, Mac Pro. Intel processors. 64bit. Anything else I need to say? [22:03] i'm reading that i have to boot with acpi=off, how do i do that on the livecd? [22:03] DosMetros: Because i think my monitor only support 60hz [22:03] my sinaptic have error [22:03] elliottcable, what kind of processor is it? [22:03] elliottcable: okay, and what's the issue? [22:03] bruenig: Intel 64-bit [22:03] scguy318: They aren't very recent, I think about a year. Regardless, mine is way newer even than that, it's a first generation octocore. [22:03] my monitor supports more [22:03] !GDM [22:03] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:03] bruenig: Not sure, whatever chipset apple is currently putting in their octocores. [22:03] elliottcable, yeap if you want desktop get the 32 bit one - there is good reason to suggest this to you [22:03] bruenig, ok, thanks buddy! [22:04] DosMetros: So what are you seeing under System-Administration-Screens and Graphics? [22:04] hmmmmmm [22:04] uhm [22:04] elliottcable, the music and the rest of it is a pain if you try to do it on 64 [22:04] hmm i need to know how to get ubuntu to identify my webcam i hook it up nothing [22:04] mac pro's have intel core 2 duo's in them [22:04] thanks for backing off a bit and trying to help, by the way, at ompaul and scguy318 [22:04] ompaul: ah really? [22:04] matt_, i don't have anything calle dscreens and graphics =/ [22:04] ompaul: you learn something every day, eh. [22:04] ompaul: so I need to re-download and reburn? [22:04] elliottcable, no I don't ;-) [22:04] elliottcable: np, I just got here :P [22:05] I've had memtest going for like two hours, and it's only 30% complete, no errors found. Do you guys let it run for the full (several hours) test before deciding your memory is okay? [22:05] elliottcable, yeah judging from your behavior in here, you probably want to go with 32 bit. I say that only out of concern for your neighbor's lives. [22:05] elliottcable, three things a day or nothing [22:05] ????? ?? ???? ??

[22:06] me neither, slow keyboard :) [22:06] bruenig: I have little patience for things messing up that aren't messing up as a direct result of my own incorrect action. Hence why I use macs for desktop and rhel for servers. [22:06] lol [22:06] can anyone help with the hookup of a webcam [22:06] elliottcable, the answer is yes [22:06] DosMetros: Maybe it's cause i have compiz fusion installed, but under my "System" Menu in the top left of my screen I see "Administration" and then under that I see "Screens and Graphics" [22:06] how do you find out what the command is for a program [22:06] ompaul: ok, so I guess no reason to let it keep loading linux kernel to check boot CD, right? [22:06] dana_bad, one trick i use is « dpkg -L packagename | grep bin » [22:06] matt_, ok, i don't have that [22:06] elliottcable, why not go with a more user driven distro then. Distros that try to do too much open themselves up for that kind of thing. [22:06] elliottcable, so yes, and this time first action if it fails during boot is have it check the CD [22:06] elliottcable: because it just works right? [22:07] s/open// [22:07] LjL: that would be okay, except my terminal emulator just shows up as a big blank [22:07] jewbilee: heh? what just works? [22:07] elliottcable: nvm [22:07] elliottcable, I think that was irony [22:07] ompaul: correct [22:07] brb peeps, the new download and burn is going to take a while, and that at least I don't need help with, so I'm going to screen out of irssi while I'm busy [22:08] elliottcable, like arch for instance, great binary package management system and all user driven, you needn't worry about stuff messing up that you don't cause [22:08] ompaul: don't see how [22:08] You know, I really do not want to give up on ubuntu... but I can not seem to get my Linksys WPC54G mini pci Wireless card to work on my laptop.

[22:29] rsk: I'm guessing. [22:29] netdefilr: try ubuntu, if its to cumbersome, try xubuntu, if you don't like it, try Debian w/ gnome or xfce. [22:29] psypher246, thank you!

My notebook's screen can display a resolution of 1440x900 at 60Hz (tested in WindowsXP) but Ubuntu 7.10 only allows me to set a refresh rate of 50 or 54Hz. I would like to try 60 Hz, but don't know where or what should I change. Using "gconf-editor" I found what seems a relevant entry: "/_desktop_gnome_screen_default_0_rate", which is set to 54 right now. My fear is that if something goes wrong I will not know how to change that setting back f [22:32] rom the console. Any suggestions (like another way to force Ubuntu to use the 60Hz refresh rate, or where does gconf-editor store changes)? Thanks for your patience (reading how someone who is not very proficient at Linux nor English explains a problem must be painful to your eyes, I imagine) ;-) [22:32] !netscape [22:32] So, anybody know about microphone issues in ubuntu?

' followed by weird symbols. [22:33] makuseru: just a suggestion, i really don't have an answer to your question. [22:33] I think any hardware manufactaror had to bring an OS with it [22:33] anyone have this happen to them or know what this could be ? [22:33] it should be prohibited by law [22:34] Grr... it's 2007 and ctrl-c on ogg123 still kills alsa?!? [22:34] so, who wants to install an OS, chooses by itselfs [22:34] capitalism sucks [22:34] quittt, amen [22:34] Turgon: I think the ubuntu numbers are misleading. In my nvidia-settings it displays the refresh rate correctly to 60, whereas gnome states it is 50. Then when nvidia says it's 70 gnome says it's 51 etc. [22:34] fatcatmatt: gksudo gedit since gksudo sets some environmental settings thats a very good idea for GUI apps === [InFeRnAl] is now known as ruif13 [22:34] i need some help: when i load ubuntu from the grub menu, immediately after it writes: " [22:35] nouveau, yeah, i know. we have many common words with french [22:35] "PCI : unable to allocate mem resource" [22:35] how can I change the image of Ubuntu's boot?

[22:39] then I can make it dual boot? [22:39] if i told knetworkmanager to save my passwords in plain text, how do i find the password [22:39] nouveau, mmm can't say right now cause we use this words as native, but i know french word which come from russia [22:39] Why is Ubuntu using 382 mg of ram and 0 bytes of swap? I thought swap was supposed to RAM for ubuntu [22:39] jeanmass_: and enable all the options. then play around with them, that usually fixes the sound. the culprit is usually the one about the external amplifier tickbox in the switches tab [22:39] jewbilee: only when your system ram is overloaded [22:39] jewbilee: because it doesn't need swap yet [22:39] juan: prolly in ur /home somewhere [22:39] is there a way to backup my compiz (fusion) settings? [22:39] ok I'll just try restarting the computer with the CD in the drive then -.- [22:39] how to I tell this program that my nick is registered [22:40] robertj_ gfs has support for ntfs? [22:40] jewbilee: because it doesn't need swap yet [22:40] jewbilee, its better to ask why windows uses swap. when ram is still available. :) [22:40] So swap is only used when too much RAM is being used? [22:40] webpirate: /msg nickserv identify PASSWORD [22:40] jewbilee: yes, and more RAM is always a better investment than swap [22:40] jewbilee: basically [22:40] RandomUsr: probably actually happens at the hal level [22:40] Dr_willis: windows uses too much RAM anyway... [22:40] jewbilee: if you're regularly using swap, you really shoulud upgrade your Ram [22:40] RandomUsr: but click-click and it will mount your ntfs partitiosn now [22:40] xbow, like a lot of "indo-european" languages we have common words. [22:40] is there a way to backup my compiz (fusion) settings? [22:41] jeanmass_: but for those options to show on your "Open Volume Control" window, you need to make them visible from the preferences menu first. got it? [22:41] indygunfreak: is it aight to have 6144mb as my swap since i have 2048mb ram? [22:41] lol [22:41] How can i check which graphic card it is on my computer? [22:41] Indy: alright, thanks. I remember reading somewhere about swap and i thought ubuntu used it instead of RAM but i never actually looked into i [22:41] Indy: i have 2g of ram so i should be fine [22:41] fatcatmatt: lol, its probably a little overkill but do as you please [22:41] jewbilee: oh ya, you're fine, you don't need swap. [22:41] robertj_ thought that ntfs-3g had to be installed first and you have to add ntfs volumes to etc/fstab [22:41] does anyone know where I put my camera? [22:41] on the taskbar go to System->Administration->Screen and Graphics [22:41] indygunfreak: i've always heard 3x the ram=swap, so there it is lol [22:41] RandomUsr: nope [22:41] Frogzoo: i understand its a bug currently i cant fix... [22:41] hey guys having some trouble with nvidia driver, it worked on first install but then i tried to install it from nvidia website, then it broke so i switched to nv in xorg, but how do i get the ubuntu nvidia driver back? [22:42] nouveau, this word come from russian to french and then back into russian with other mean. this word is bistro [22:42] Sn3ipen: on the taskbar go to System->Administration->Screen and Graphics [22:42] fatcatmatt: well, once you get past 1-1.5gig, its kinda redundant. [22:42] hi [22:42] Randomusr: ntfs-3g may be installed by default now but if you grab a live cd or fresh intsall it works out of the box [22:42] tasos: you mean kmix? [22:42] ahh okay indygunfreak [22:42] provided the ntfs partition was cleanly unmounted [22:42] hello [22:42] robertj_ so gfs has native support? [22:42] is there such a thing as a bluetooth sniffer? [22:42] does anyone know how to check which ip you are using in the network? [22:42] RandomUsr: probably no, probably happens at hal [22:42] jeanmass_: oh, you're using Kubuntu? [22:42] i just let the installer setup my swap, w/ 1.0gig of Ram, and a 200gig partition, it always gives swap about 3.4gigs [22:42] fatcatmatt: 3x the RAM was only applicable when there was 32 MBs :P [22:42] gfs probably just talks hal is my guess [22:42] patwotrik: www.whatismyip.com [22:42] tasos: yeah [22:42] fatcatmatt: at like 512, 1 GB utterly useless, dead slow anyway [22:42] or maybe alsamixer? [22:43] lol scguy318 [22:43] robertj_ so you´re saying that reading happens at the kernel level today?

[23:16] jonah: unless you don't have these packages installed ... in which case you should install them (sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings) [23:17] fatcatmatt = new naming correspondant of ubuntu! [23:17] !codenames | fatcatmatt :) [23:17] Just wait for Indigent Iguana [23:17] fatcatmatt :): Ubuntu has awesome release codenames.

[23:18] xbow ok, i was just askin, i know that problem can be much more complex than the way it's shown here. So now we have to listen to astro and ubotu, and stop speaking polical..lol (because of censure) [23:18] webpirate: no, that was replaced by /etc/modprobe.d/ a long time ago [23:18] !ask [23:18] Don't ask to ask a question.

It seems to be accelerating my 3d OpenGL aps [23:20] the video doesnt show up unless I use the on board video [23:20] jahnkeanate1: ubuto is. fatcatmatt is not [23:20] very that you [23:21] defishguy: Except, tther are all kinds of missing textures, making any games unplayable [23:21] does anyone know how to check what version of alsa im running? [23:21] is there a way to create a launcher or script to change the mouse from right to left handed and vice versa? [23:21] ok the bot in ubotu gives it away [23:21] and using various settings the best I get is to the desktop before it freezes [23:21] y are their bots [23:21] nouveau, hm it's strange. try send me to private [23:21] xbow and you ? did you received something ? [23:21] My understanding is that AIGLX support is there but still weak. [23:21] go to synaptic and search for alsa package it should tell you [23:21] defishguy: It didn't do this before on Fiesty and older fglrx drivers. [23:21] tasos, will that break it again though cos when i change it in xorg i get some error about module not matching kernel or something [23:21] nouveau, nothing too :( [23:21] jahnkeanate1: because they remember things very accurately, e.g. URLs [23:22] jahnkeanatel: no i am not a bot LMAO [23:22] defishguy: Thats what I hear, but I'm not even trying to run Compiz or AIGLX apps, just OpenGL ones for the moment.

[23:22] rainwalker: what menu? [23:22] jahnkeanate1: you need the alternate CD, gksud /cdrom/cdupgrade or something [23:23] defishguy: Works fine... 3k or thereabouts on a mobility x600 [23:23] jahnkeanate1: you can't do it with the live CD, but with the alternate CD, you can upgrade [23:23] jrib: system -> preferences -> mouse (on gutsy) [23:23] jonah: well, this will basically enable the nvidia driver and/or change your xorg.cong accordingly. If you're worried, just backup your xorg.conf before you type the command [23:23] rainwalker: oh, I see... lets dig into what that does... [23:23] corecomps: I would suggest using the text-based alternate CD for installation, then we can fix any X issues we encounter [23:23] !alternate | corecomps [23:23] corecomps: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal [23:23] jahnkeanatel: why would you think i am a bot?

[23:24] i dont know the font [23:24] ipw3945 is buggy. [23:24] defishguy: Pretty much anything that has 3d models in OpenGL. WoW under Wine, Planet Penguin Racer, Nexuiz.

Not Kotor2 though :( [23:27] jahnkeanate1: do the FIND function on your browser to look for ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso [23:27] excessluggage: KOTOR is fickle even on Windows :( [23:27] excessluggage: well, KOTOR 2 [23:27] (if that's the processor version you want) [23:27] xbow it does not work anymore :( [23:27] k [23:27] excessluggage: ATI or Nvidia? If ATI, what driver and version? [23:27] scguy318: yeah the reason I tried it in wine was because Vista has some bad issues running it [23:27] rainwalker: looks like a gconf key so you can use gconftool-2 on /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/left_handed [23:27] Ellipsys: Nvidia [23:27] Anybody know how to get the microphone working in ubuntu? [23:28] excessluggage: people have had luck but KOTOR 2 is buggy :( [23:28] nouveau, just type '/j #channel1' [23:28] excessluggage: Ahh, that would do it. Nvidia has pretty great support. Unfortunately I have an ATI card in this laptop >> [23:28] jrib: are you saying I should create a launcher with that set as the path? [23:28] i typed / join # channell but nothing.. [23:28] scguy318: yeah, got as far as having it installed (and didnt need a nocd) but it wouldnt pick up the g card and so wouldnt load [23:28] i'll try once more [23:28] Hello everyone! Im having troubles with a new PCI wireless card. Its an Encore Wireless-G with Realtek RTL8185L chipset and there are several sites saying this card works with Linux, but the problem is that when y plug the card in the PCI slot and start the computer, the Ubuntu (7.10) loading bar stops in about 3/4...if i remove the card and start the computer, everything works fine. So, does anyone know how to make this work ? Thank you very much! [23:28] nouveau: without the space between # and channel [23:29] it dodnt find anything [23:29] filloy: if the native drivers dont want to cooperate, you can use ndiswrapper [23:29] didnt [23:29] rainwalker: no, /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/left_handed is a gconf key. You use gconftool-2 to modify gconf keys. Take a look at the man page for it, poke me if it is not clear [23:29] filloy: though we can diagnose your issue better if you boot without quiet splash [23:29] ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso [23:29] didnt come up with anything [23:29] scguy318: so what should i do to boot without quiet splash? [23:30] hi how do i minitor a error log in real time ? [23:30] tasos with or without the space ... i can see xbow [23:30] filloy: at the GRUB menu, press e, then remove the quiet and splash options [23:30] jahnkeanatel: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloading?release=desktop-newest&arch=i386&mirror=http%3A%2F%2Fmirrors.easynews.com%2Flinux%2Fubuntu-releases%2F&debug=%5B%27country_US%27%2C+%27country_UK%27%2C+%27continent_NA%27%5D&download-button=&alternatecd=alternate [23:30] filloy: then boot [23:30] jahnkeanate1: on the page you gave me (http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/) the alternate link is at the bottom, about a screen up from the last link [23:30] filloy: or you could just do Ctrl-Alt-F1 then Ctrl-Alt-F7 if lazy [23:30] How do I change from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1? [23:30] jrib: uh...it's not clear, sorry [23:30] nouveau, copy and paste this: /j #channel1 [23:31] o got it didnt need to use find [23:31] rainwalker: join me in #ubuntu-classroom [23:31] scguy318: ok, ill do that and see what comes up :) thank you!, ill be back! [23:31] whats the big difference between running 64bit ubuntu and 32bit [23:31] 32 [23:31] jahnkeanate1: http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/file?info_hash=%06%DA%2A%9F%C6%7D%40N%26%B9g7%7D%D0B%93%D9.%BFt [23:31] excessluggage :) [23:31] should i download new iso or should i load my 32bit version and be ok [23:31] 32 is better [23:31] cuz you might deal with 32-bit only stuff [23:31] jaym: I believe there is a lot that doesn't work quite as well under 64. Unless you have more than 4gb of RAM, its not worth it [23:31] jrib: alrighty [23:31] k thnx [23:32] Can anyone help me out, I am using Ubuntu 7.10, and have Wine installed, the problem is when i delete other programs from wine they still appear in the Wine programs folder [23:32] jaym: TGhe 32 bit has more support at the moment becuase it is more widly used [23:32] !restricted > wotamuckinfuddle (read the private message from ubotu) [23:32] How do I extract a split .RAR files? [23:32] 64 bit is potentially quicker, but not as well supported so most apps end up being run in 32 bit mode. Plus I don't think you can use both the 32 bit and 64 bit repos at the same time [23:32] great thanx [23:32] Ia m trying to eradicat egnome from this system.. i want nm-applet though.. as it seems to be the only wireless app that works.. does anyone know what package it is in??? [23:32] thanx jrib [23:32] I've a file which was split into several .RAR files, how do I extract it? [23:33] excessluggage, no such thing as that [23:33] kbrooks: no such thing as...? [23:33] excessluggage, there are apps compiled for 64 bit [23:33] ok this was very helpful [23:33] Hi folks, I'm running Gutsy, GNome, 2.6.22-14-server and I 'lost' Ktorrent ... it runs in bacground but I cannot access the user interface [23:33] did it come with a .exe to [23:33] Taras: Right-click the menu bar on the panel.

[23:35] lanliu [23:35] we dont use exe's in linux [23:35] well except for wine i guess [23:35] lanLiu: Did the rar's come with an exe [23:35] i use them to play day of defeat [23:35] on linux [23:37] scguy318: Funny, it stopped in "Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd" and it hang there....but i dont see how the wireless network card is related to the printing system, any idea? [23:37] does nyone now of a rss drredr for ktorrent? [23:37] anyone [23:38] filloy: weird, well, I guess we could see about setting up ndiswrapper [23:38] does anyone know of a RSS feeder for Korrent? [23:38] scguy318: well, yes, but i cant even boot into linux with the card on...:( [23:38] ah, that's what drredr meant! [23:39] Does Ubuntu 7.10 support hdd enryption on the live cd or alternate cd? [23:39] filloy: don't really need the card installed for ndiswrapper [23:39] filloy: *installing [23:39] sam1337: latter [23:40] filloy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto [23:40] scguy318 - the alternate installer what will I expect different? [23:40] corecomps_: text-based, more customization [23:40] can anyone helpe? [23:40] corecomps_: you won't get to test Ubuntu live [23:40] corecomps_: but it would seem that's the only choice here [23:40] scguy318: so you suggest i install ndiswrapper and then plug the card? wouldnt it be better to blacklist the driver its trying to use, boot and then install ndiswrapper, if necesary? [23:41] When I tried hdd encryption on debian I had to type in a password at boot, does ubuntu allow me to do it graphically? [23:41] filloy: sure, that would be fine too [23:41] is amarok good for ubuntu too? cause it requires kde packages [23:41] scguy318: the problem is what driver to blacklist :( [23:41] I know this is a ubuntu forum but maybe this is a good question, is this the best linux distrubution to try first? [23:42] kakoonia: it'll run fine it just has to install all the kde libs it needs to run [23:42] kakoonia rhythmbox is just as good but does not require kde packages [23:42] I'm looking for something that seems as main stream as possible [23:42] thanks you 2..

[23:43] mediabuntu: thanks.. i hope for the best ;) [23:43] corecomps: try ubuntu, its easy and safe, then if you want to go crazy and learn a lot, use Gentoo or a BSD [23:43] nothing beats debian and ubuntu [23:43] kakoonia: i bet my mother on it [23:43] scguy318: Its an Encore ENLWI-G2 with Realtek chipset [23:44] * kakoonia chokes from his nargilla!
