[00:01] rxKaffee, it's for ssh [00:01] * Pelo feels like a failure [00:01] soundray, the selected language is English Australia, and I've just looked through synaptic at OOo packages and there's only packages for English GB installed [00:01] if check in synaptic punching in keys on a terminal [00:01] musashi: afaik opensshd doesn't listen to the old deny/allow hosts files... you can set it to not allow root logins in the sshd.conf or whatever file it is [00:01] hi. not really good with grub, trying to figure out how to add an OS installed on a secondary HDD aka not the HDD my main grub is on [00:01] musashi: or do I misunderstand teh purpose of the directive you're trying to set? [00:02] musashi: I use fail2ban to stop login attempts [00:02] ok .. while using my ubuntu i try to learn some commands then i use msn command or help command to get more informaions about the command but i type that ..i got the help in english i just dont want it in english i want it in french [00:02] w00t, which os ? [00:02] rxKaffee, so denyhosts won't work with ssh? i that's that's what it's for [00:02] !locale | U` [00:02] U`: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [00:02] U`: And install manpages-fr [00:02] Pelo: mac (osx86) ^_^ [00:02] Pici, i'll check that out. thanks [00:02] Atomic_UE: ah, now we're getting somewhere. You will need openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-au for the thesaurus [00:03] I'm trying to use miro for the first time and whenever I try to add a channel it opens a firefox window. Is there anyway to avoid this? [00:03] musashi: It can do alot more than ssh, but thats all I use it for, its webpage has quite a bit of documentation. [00:03] w00t, I don'T rightly know how to do it for mac os, try asking in #grub, be very patiente it's not a very busy channel [00:03] musashi: oh, I was thinking of a different program, sorry [00:03] fail2ban is kinda heavy [00:03] Atomic_UE: and myspell-en-au to spellcheck. [00:03] what movie player do you all use? vlc? [00:03] rxKaffee: it is, true. [00:03] has anyone got matlab under ubuntu?

In examples I see shiny graphs.. did I miss something? === Trevi is now known as Trevinho [00:04] ok thanks pici [00:04] thank you ubotu [00:04] U`, not all man pages are available in french, most of mine are in english and I am setup in french as well , maybe the ppl in #ubuntu-fr know more about getting french manpages [00:04] U`, its a bot --> ubotu :) === Trent__ is now known as bruenig [00:04] nny: one second.

[00:05] musashi: it bans properly for other violations though? [00:05] oh fine bot talking thats nice ^^ [00:05] soundray: hmmm, didnt work - also had a few problems with rired connection [00:05] w00t, I know that windows likes to be on the boot hdd, so when using grub you need to remap the hdd ( in grub) for windows to boot if it is not on the boot hdd, maybe that needs to be done for OSx as well [00:05] gnr, if its a Linksys router, you could try an open source firmware that'll allow you to improve the signal [00:05] Xapper: yes, I was wondering... [00:05] rxKaffee, seems to. most attempts are for root but for other non-existent accounts they get banned after 3 (i think) [00:05] nny: Mine get put into /var/log/bootchart/*.png [00:05] what do i need to do bruenig? [00:05] soundray: LOL [00:06] Pici, mounting /var/log to tmpfs, which doesn't allow for sub-dirs. I removed the fstab entry and I am rebooting [00:06] anyone doing clustering with 7.10 on amd64?

( i changed back for a sec and rebooted, let me look for that folder) [00:07] Pici, yesh, a header file and some logs [00:07] soundray, yeh installed both...OOo not starting up now :( trying to figure out why [00:07] rxKaffee, i can paste a log if that helps [00:07] Xapper: I only need the description: line, you can sneak that in here [00:08] soundray : [00:08] icense: GPL [00:08] author: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com [00:08] description: Ralink RT2570 usb 802.11g WLAN driver 1.0.0 - CVS 2007110514 [00:08] hey [00:08] musashi: nah, I don't know anything about the program, was just wondering if maybe it was having trouble executing the "blocking" routine(iptables, route, whatever) [00:08] sorry [00:08] Pici hmmph, no bootchart folder, only the tgz again [00:08] Pelo: thanks...will bookmark it in case i need it :) [00:08] nny: Did you try extracting the .tgz? [00:08] oh, nevermind you said that. [00:09] I have a problem. I installed nvidia-settings, and now my driver is missing and Ubuntu started in safe graphics mode.. How do I fix this?

Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto [00:09] musashi: I'd scrap that all together, just change your port to a non-standard one, disable root login and password logins(key only), and use portsentry to ban any IP that hits the default ssh port [00:09] hi [00:09] soundray, just did that, no effect [00:09] I have a little issue [00:09] where can I choose what Java version I want to use when there are different kinds of Java's installed? [00:10] burzum, you need to ask in #compiz-fusion [00:10] Xapper: I think you should try to disable network manager [00:10] ok [00:10] rxkafee: not sure what problem is, new to this [00:10] ZareliMan, state it breifly and in one line [00:10] Atomic_UE: did the package installation complete successfully?

[00:11] rxKaffee, i've been reluctant to use a non-standard port 'cause i'm afraid I might not be able to connect from work if the port i choose is blocked [00:11] ZareliMan, this is a busy channel as you can see, tell us the exact problem which driver and what happens [00:11] quick question: when using find, how can I get a reference to just the base filename? so for example, if find finds '/a/b/c/d.ext' and puts it in{}, i just want 'd.ext' [00:11] soundray, WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit [00:11] soundray: and will it affect my wired connection?

I've checked the connection in the back of the PC and its good, rebooted and allows me to type my password.. but once loged in.. i can't get the Keyboard to do anything.. Anyone come across this issue? or know how to fix it? [00:11] rxKaffee, i don't have a root login enabled but just want to limit the attempts [00:11] word up room [00:11] musashi: ah, I see... corporate outgoing firewals suck :( put it on email port if you're not using email already ;) [00:12] rxKaffee, i tried 443 but it didn't work [00:12] Xapper: yes, but to do it temporarily, just do a sudo killall nm-applet ; sudo killall NetworkManager [00:12] i wanted to know about putting the new 7.10 on a memory stick, and then running and installing 7.10 from the memory stick [00:12] are .daa files bootable?

[00:13] im looking to get my usb headset working but i can't find drivers for it. is there any general usb headset drivers? [00:14] Roo-kie, if daa files are cd images you need to burn the image to the cd , ( not copy the daa file to the cd , not the same thing) then you will have a bootable cd [00:14] Atomic_UE: when you exited OOo, maybe it didn't terminate. Then it could have rewritten your freshly-renamed user config. [00:14] Roo-kie, assuming that the image in the daa file is that of a bootable cd [00:14] nny: got it: `java -jar /usr/share/bootchart/bootchart.jar --help` update arguments for your needs [00:14] Pelo: Thanks heaps [00:15] soundray: ok i ran those two commands, second one gave 'no process killed' [00:15] Yachi, try looking up your model in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport or in the forum see what is available in therms of info www.ubuntuforums.org [00:15] ahh Pici thanks [00:15] how come vlc is not in the synaptic package manager? how doi install it? [00:15] Atomic_UE: the intellectually lazy approach would be to reboot, then rename your user config again and see if it starts after that.

[00:32] ok so what do i need to do [00:32] scguy318 so just type this in term? http://repository.debuntu.org repo [00:32] go to the [00:32] system [00:32] Jordan_U: Yessir [00:32] how to add [00:32] Avt3kk: no [00:32] Avt3kk: go to the website and see the instructions [00:32] I get a DISK READ ERROR after installing ubuntu when trying to start winxp.

[00:33] its not a hd problem! [00:34] jsschmid: alright, so could you be more specific about the XP issue? [00:34] jsschmid: famous last words :) [00:34] nny: can you open it in inkscape or gimp? [00:34] for me, it is a partitioning problem [00:34] Pici, let me try [00:34] soundray: :-D [00:34] jsschmid: Disk Read Error, during XP boot or during BIOS phase? [00:34] soundray: dont think so but ill check . sudo iwlist didnt work? [00:34] Jordan_U: Hm... I see... so network-manager just runs separate of /etc/network/interfaces ? [00:34] is there a way to defrag the HD with ubuntu, or doesnt it need it? [00:34] scguy318: right [00:34] mayorbuttes, So you can either just use network manager ( which unfortunately has no good cli front end that I know of ) or set up a "manual" connection in System -> Administration -> Networking [00:34] dus1: doesnt need it. [00:34] mayorbuttes, Yes [00:35] hello all [00:35] Xapper: the ESSID is an empty string, that's why I'm asking [00:35] Pici: thats awesome, thanx [00:35] soundray: ah yes it was off :) [00:35] Jordan_U: Is there anyway to continue using /etc/network/interfaces and completely ignore network-manager all-together? [00:35] soundray: so you ask questions like that and then run away, uh? do you know how many totally awkward and incomprehensible awk, ed, sed, etc commands i've had to witness in #bash because of your darn question? [00:35] if I want to find out my processor/mobo (hardware) specs from the shell, how would I do it? [00:35] scguy318: I had installed XP previously, the installed Ubuntu, reconfigured grub, now I get the DISK READ ERROR when trying to boot XP [00:36] is there a plugin or something to where I can use .exe files... other than VMware? [00:36] scguy318: I startet testdisk and it said that the heads per cylinder might be wrong (actual value is 255, proposed 240), but I'm not sure if I want to change it just out of a gues [00:36] djjoka: Look up wine [00:36] !wine | djjoka [00:36] djjoka: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [00:36] * soundray blushes [00:36] jsschmid: where do you put the grub? [00:36] mayorbuttes, Yes, setup the connection in System -> Administration -> Networking, though I am dissapointed that they just decided to nuke /etc/networking/interfaces on upgrades, is there a backup? [00:36] ill test [00:36] jsschmid: I unfortunately must break for dinner, I guess I'll let ImLost take up your question, might be an MBR thing [00:36] ImLost---: on the ubuntu partition (same drive, second partition hd 0,1) [00:36] Jordan_U: Unfortunately, no. And the settup on my end is a little wonky to begin with since I'm on a University's connection [00:36] soundray: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43736/ its there now [00:36] cant I just get a pidgin deb and install it? [00:36] is it a "Sudo" install? [00:37] Jordan_U: So it just makes everything REALLY complicated =p [00:37] LjL-Temp: I'm so deeply sorry! I solved the prob the obvious way, by saving the output in a tempfile... [00:37] djjoka: huh? [00:37] soundray: try either « command | tee >(sed -n -e '1,10 p' >/tmp/head) >(tail >/tmp/tail) », and then cat those files in /tmp, or perhaps « command | sed '1,10w file1' | tail >file2 » and cat those [00:37] sudo get-......... [00:37] Avt3kk: you the guy trying to get pidgin on dapper? [00:37] scguy318: not mbr, grub is still booting [00:37] that [00:37] yes [00:37] djjoka: sudo apt-get install wine [00:37] djjoka: It's all sudo installs [00:37] Avt3kk: you should be able to install the older (1.5 series) gaim, but for pidgin you'll need to find a backport [00:37] thank you [00:37] im the guy putting pigin on dapper [00:37] ok [00:37] mayorbuttes, Have you checked "ls -a /etc/network/" ? It might be ( though probably not ) hidden [00:37] soundray: i think i'll be buying linux(ubuntu) for beginners at the weekend [00:37] Avt3kk: is there a reason you need pidgin rather than gaim? [00:38] ok [00:38] whats a backport? :/ [00:38] LjL-Temp: wow [00:38] soundray: but of course i *did* assume that using a temporary storage was not admissible. i'll spare you the whole explanation why « | tee >(head) >(tail) » doesn't work and tail displays some random lines instead of the last line, but only because i'm already worn out - you'd deserve to learn it all >: [00:38] Avt3kk: backport is when a newer package is taken apart to source code, and re-compiled into an older operating system [00:38] in yahoo chat now you need to confirm to get in the room [00:38] Jordan_U: The file still exists, don't get me wrong. [00:38] :-| [00:38] ok my ubuntu desktop has just started logging me out instead of locking the screen.. anyone have any sugestions?? [00:38] Jordan_U: it's just that they nuke everything inside of the file [00:38] Avt3kk: and you've tried with gaim to confirm but it doesn't work? [00:39] rxKaffee so how do I update gaim then [00:39] my gaim is way to old it just sits there [00:39] ImLost---: any ideas? [00:39] mayorbuttes, I know, and whenever that happens automatically ( like with your xorg.conf ) I thought it was standard practice for the script replacing / modifying it to create a backup [00:39] how can i get ntfs-3g to scan for ntfs filesystems? [00:39] I was playing with various themes and moving panels around. I no longer have the network icon or update icon in my panel. How do I get them back? [00:39] Avt3kk: I think I have a backports -made-easy url here, one sec and I'll look [00:40] Jordan_U: Ah. I'll check next time I boot into that machine [00:40] jsschmid: What are you trying to do? [00:40] reco_: right click and add to panel, and use the notification area applet. [00:40] Yachi, You just want all ntfs file systems mounted? [00:40] rxKaffee yes that is what I want!! :D tyyy [00:40] usr13: I get a DISK READ ERROR after installing ubuntu when trying to start winxp. When I mount the partition in ubuntu I can still access all the data on the drive.

[00:40] if so i cant find them [00:41] usr13: didnt we talk yesterday as well (mounting an USB stick I previously bootet from) [00:41] mayorbuttes, If there is one it's name probably starts with interfaces, so something like "/etc/network/interfaces-date" [00:41] djjoka: Why do you think you need more files?

[00:51] can someone help me out with my ubuntu install? im having some sound issues [00:51] can someone help me out with my ubuntu install? im having some sound issues [00:51] Avt3kk: you can request someone make a backport in the forum [00:51] LjL-Temp: wow, the perl one works like a charm [00:51] dissection, Read the rest of the comment from ubotu [00:51] Avt3kk: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=47 [00:51] Is it possible to set my ubuntu to log in automatically, skip the whole login screen, it's such a pain. [00:51] how can i get ntfs-3g to scan for ntfs filesystems? [00:52] Jordan_U: I can't do it with the GUI? [00:52] ook ty [00:52] hey do i need xgl to run compiz fusion for ati driver 8.40.4-1 ? since which version of ati driver xgl is no longer needed but aiglx will do it automatically? thank you [00:52] how do you start a program that has a launcher with elevated permissions? [00:52] i have probleme configuring devilspie it seems it can only deals with workspaces but not compiz virtuals horizontals desktops rights ? [00:52] dissection, I don't know, there is probably a way but I've never tried [00:52] soundray: in theory it's the lousiest one possibly, as it stores the entire thing into memory, so if it's a very long output it's far from optimal [00:52] Can you watch DVDs on your Ubuntu 7.10? If yes, PM me how! :o) thanks! [00:52] jsschmid: Bad News, unitl where i know you would kew some type of windows boot to fix this... (supposing that this could be fixed 'by software'), and according with http://www.ngine.de/index.jsp?pageid=4176 [00:52] Kaso Either way you do it you gotta login... [00:52] windows cant boot from usb === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL2 [00:53] dana_bad, Not sure if I understand the question, but I think the answer is gksudo :0 [00:53] :) [00:53] Jordan_U: how do you gksudo? [00:53] !dvd > nickwashere [00:53] Kaso If you don't use gdm, you gotta login via terminal and then type in startx... so gdm is actually easier than the alternative [00:53] Whats !dvd mean? [00:53] rxKaffee is this how to do it? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=268687 [00:53] dana_bad, Explain more what you are trying to do exactly [00:54] nickwasher: it tells ubotu to message you and give you information on a topic, in this case, it involves DVD's [00:54] Avt3kk: looks like to creat your own, you could get away with downloading the relevant source files from gutsy's packages at packages.ubuntu.com, and then using apt-get source-build to compile them [00:54] does anyone know if i need to change the bios or anything elese to get my box to boot form my multi-card reader thats built into my com,puter [00:54] nickwashere, It tells the channel bot to send you a PM about DVD's [00:54] Ah! haha This is so damn confusing. Guys I just want to watch The Office on my laptop! [00:54] its on a memory stick duo pro [00:54] RabidWeezle basically what i want to do is be able to turn my pc on, then VNC into and do my stuff, but the vnc server only starts up once ive logged in, any way i can get around this, i can ssh into the machine too. [00:54] Jordan_U: i want to edit the metadata for my mp3s but i dont have the right permissions [00:54] how start every times in the restart compiz&emerald in gutsy ? === LjL2 is now known as LjL-Temp [00:54] nickwashere: VLC [00:55] Jordan_U: i think maybe a better idea is to chmod them [00:55] rxKaffee yay this is good news ty :D [00:55] Umm, I got a broken libc6-dev and libc6-i686 package, so I used synaptic to install -f, and now GDM won't boot because it erased a lot, but libc6 is still on here [00:55] ImLost---: there are two ways to do it: just boot from your recovery partition ... I removed that one to get more space [00:55] ImLost---: second: you can prepare an usb stick with Windows PE (Preboot Environment, e.g. BartPE) but it's a long way to go [00:55] nickwashere, Install vlc and libdvdcss2 [00:55] Kaso, that's cause vnc needs X to be running to send a desktop to it, it all runs off the xserver being up [00:55] Avt3kk: [00:55] nickwashere just go to synaptic package manager or add remover programs, and search and download everyhting with dvd in it, asnd search and install ffmpeg [00:55] Avt3kk: sorry, my paste buffer didn't work last try :P http://pupeno.com/2006/12/17/unstable-packages-on-ubuntu/ [00:55] LjL: it's still better than calling the command twice. Storing intermediate files is all right, too, as long as I use local temp storage on the machine I run the command from -- have to avoid sending that thing to NAS. [00:56] Kaso what you should do is check out ssh [00:56] jsschmid: From menu.lst remove lines 188,190,191 [00:56] Punkunity, That won't get him libdvdcss [00:56] Punkunity, It's not in the default repos for legal reasons [00:56] SSH into the machine then startx on it then vnc into it? [00:56] Kaso, Or use ssh -X :) [00:56] sudo apt-get install libdvdcss but yeah i tghink thats how i got it by add remove jordan_u [00:56] usr13: ok, wait ... [00:56] Has anyone used WINE before ? [00:57] Taras: I have. [00:57] !anyone | Taras [00:57] Taras: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [00:57] oh i had to copy and paste a reppio before doing it, and screw the legalities, noone will get into trouble for it [00:57] you can access it from a windows machine by using a free app called putty if you need to with ssh Kaso [00:57] I got a broken libc6-dev and libc6-i686 package, and synaptic "fixed it" with install -f, but it didn't fix it, and now GDM won't start, help? [00:57] how do i install KDE once gnome is loaded in ubuntu? [00:57] !kde | d0c [00:57] d0c: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gusty and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. [00:57] jsschmid: problem resolved? [00:57] how do i get my box to boot form the non-usb multi-card reader with and sd card so i can install a new gutsy [00:58] rxKaffee so this keeps me from getting unstable packages? [00:58] d0c, Do you just want KDE or KDE and all of the default apps that come with it in kubuntu? [00:58] scguy318: dont know, i'll have to reboot but i'll report [00:58] I have a problem, after i installed it and used some windows software on my ubuntu, it seems i cant remove wine or any of the windows applications, it removes them from computer but still displays them on my application list [00:58] ive got howto ssh into the machine from windows, not a problem, but how do i then get non-terminal-only access to the PC? Jordan_U what's ssh -X ? [00:58] Avt3kk: no, it tells you how to repackage a package from unstable(feisty was unstable at the time, I'd recomend using gutsy which is currently stable) [00:58] <_16aR_> Hello [00:59] <_16aR_> Anyone has tried aptulr on PPA package ? [00:59] jsschmid: k [00:59] entire KDE [00:59] hello [00:59] Avt3kk: you'll be rebuilding pidgin instead of erlang [00:59] jordan: i want the enitre kde [00:59] usr13: ok, there are only 160 lines :-) but i'll figure out, just a second [00:59] ubotu, no, kde =~ s/Gusty/gutsy/ [00:59] rxKaffee so I get pidgin package from gutsy? [00:59] is "Wine" supposed to let me use .exe files? [00:59] djjoka: yes [00:59] Kaso, ssh -X allows programs running on the remote machine to send X commands to your local machine, it requires that you have an X server installed on your local machine though ( there is one available for windows, not sure how good it is though ) [00:59] good [00:59] thank you [00:59] Avt3kk: yes [00:59] how can i get ntfs-3g to scan for ntfs filesystems? [01:00] djjoka, But it won't work with all exe's [01:00] Yachi: what is ntfs-3g? [01:00] why? [01:00] Hello, I got broken libc6-dev and libc6-i686 packages, and synaptic attempted to fix it, and now I'm stuck in command line, help! [01:00] poor yachi I seen you post that same question 4 times hehe [01:00] and , is there any way to let it use all? [01:00] because i cant download VMware [01:00] Jordan_U: i want the full kde [01:01] yeh im gettin no help :( [01:01] djjoka, Because it is a completely reverse-engineered implementation of the win32 API, basically they remade most of windows without any documentation or help from Microsoft :) [01:01] [djjoka]: why cant u download VMware? [01:01] Jordan_U: oh they do use docs, just the ones that MS has published for the public [01:01] LjL: thanks again for your sacrifice === Jeffrey is now known as pillow [01:01] [djjoka]: i've downloaded it yesterday [01:01] I'm having trouble getting wireless networking to function..

[01:02] im new to Linux so i dont really know what to do [01:02] Jordan_U: yep :) [01:02] Avt3kk: prevu? never heard of that... the unstable-packages-on-ubuntu url I gave you uses "apt-get source --build" to do the compiling [01:02] djjoka: try using synaptic to install wine, then just double clicking on your exe [01:02] djjoka, First see if there isn't a native Linux alternative to the application you want to run [01:02] ive downloaded alot of software to get it to work with me, like the plugin to play DVD [01:02] DerangedDingo: I am -0600 GMT, PST is -0800 GMT, so I would think that yes its 5:02 PM your time [01:03] none is gonna tell me how to install KUBUNTU?? [01:03] DerangedDingo: my clock appropriately switched automatically [01:03] djjoka, Applications -> Add / Remove is a good place to look [01:03] just apt-get it [01:03] the site doesnt say much [01:03] usr13: got that, did that, be back in 5 minutes [01:03] !install | d0c [01:03] d0c: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[01:28] Is it possible to play streaming Windows Video in ubuntu? [01:28] scguy318: thanks, i'll try that out! [01:28] boontoo: so either use free ones, or if you need to "gain access", then buy a card that supports such things [01:28] SuperSnout, sudo apt-get install azureus [01:28] SuperSnout, Applications -> Add / Remove [01:28] newbiiie, Yes [01:28] K|NgGh0sT: fsck with some options [01:28] Jordan_U: I can't find it in add remove [01:28] rxKaffee, I mean, I'm in a live CD right now [01:28] thanks everyone, byebye!

[01:29] hugh: hmm ok, thats my shot there :P [01:29] boontoo: sounds like you're all set then if iwlist shows ap's :D [01:29] Jordan_U: I don't think i've set it to do anything [01:29] scguy318, thanks [01:29] boontoo: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ [01:30] Cerebru1: I'm looking for the same information too. I'm running Xubuntu on a Mac PowerBook G4. At this point, I saw a post that suggested disabling DRM. But when I try to remove the DRM module using "modprobe" I get an error message that the module is in use.

[01:41] scguy318: I'm being using /dev/sdb1 but still no luck [01:41] does xfree86 come on 7.10 by default? [01:42] SuperSnout, You can scan yourself thorugh a proxy [01:42] bazhang: any idea if I should be worried about the GNOME error? [01:42] * Yachi is still waiting for an answer to either of my two questions [01:42] ray_: no, its X.Org [01:42] Yachi: what are the questions? [01:42] Jordan_U: how would I do that? [01:42] People still use xfree86? [01:42] jhelmus: hmm, dunno then [01:42] ray_: No [01:42] boselecta: is your system running? [01:42] how can i scan for ntfs with ntfs-3g | how can i get my usb headset working [01:43] Yachi: scan like? and what headset? [01:43] so i will have to install it to get the proprietary ati driver [01:43] oh, yes. it's just i have never seen that dialog before upon logging in. it looks like some of the icons are different on the panel, too [01:43] Yachi: if you mean a disk check like chkdsk you can't really, you have to use Windows [01:43] Yachi: as for your headset it should be a matter of just plugging in [01:43] SuperSnout, Use nmap with torify [01:44] Jordan_U: dead slow :P [01:44] Jordan_U: best to just use online-nmap.com or a service like i [01:44] Jordan_U: *it [01:44] if i install xfree86 will that mess with x.org? [01:44] okay silly question [01:44] ray_: not sure, but I don't see why you need XFree86 [01:44] ray_: Probably [01:44] Hi. I just installed the new ATI driver on Gutsy, but compiz doesn't work because "/usr/bin/compiz: 228: Syntax error: "(" unexpected" [01:44] ray_, Why would you want to install xfree86? [01:45] i need it for the ATI propritary driver [01:45] boselecta: using Gutsy? [01:45] ray_: um no? [01:45] ray_: System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager [01:45] ray_: You should remove xorg first. [01:45] ray_: if you need fglrx [01:45] When I install tuxracer and google earth and a few other programs then try to open them , I get the splash screen and then nothing. I have a 500 mHZ system, 198 rm running xubntu fiesty [01:45] ray_: i seriously doubt that fglrx won't work on X.Org [01:45] that made gutsy run way to slow [01:45] flyingfree: hardware defeciency [01:45] when i used the open source driver [01:46] bazhang: yeah, but for a while now. it just started today and i think i saw a GNOME update not too long ago. [01:46] thought so usr13 [01:46] ray_: Restricted Driver Manager installs fglrx, have you tried that? [01:46] bazhang: perhaps i should just try relogging in to see if it was a one-time affair. [01:46] usr13 where do I find the req's for tuxracer and the google earth version in the repository? [01:46] no, i supose i can [01:46] ok I think I figured out the problem(maybe) but I don't know how to fix it. My sound card is listed as number 1, after my webcam which is number 0 when I do " cat /proc/asound/cards" but how do I change that? [01:46] boselecta: not sure what the issue is--though may want to choose today to do your back up :} [01:46] i will have to download the driver from ati first wont i? [01:46] ray_: no [01:46] !ati | ray_ [01:46] ray_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [01:47] ray_: if you haven't already read [01:47] bazhang: haha. not really my computer, so i'll pass that on. thx. [01:47] boselecta: then no problem at all. heh [01:47] doing so now [01:47] Jordan_U: just downloaded nmap [01:47] SuperSnout: you can't use it to probe yourself, have to use an external machine [01:48] does mplayer work under xubuntu? [01:48] !madwifi [01:48] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [01:48] flyingfree: yes [01:48] flyingfree: It would be a subjective answer in the first place, but a 500Mhz processor is deficient. 1000Mhz will do. Maybe even PIII 800 but nothing less, [would be my guess] [01:48] nmap -vv -A ip [01:48] scguy318: Jordan_U said I could use a proxy [01:48] SuperSnout: yes, but kinda slow :P [01:48] SuperSnout, I guess just keep using the service you were using :) [01:48] somehow i t is missing from my sound/video list and replace with gzine. How can I get it back on the list? [01:48] SuperSnout: you could use it if you wanted [01:48] scguy318: no i want to see all the partitions that i could mount | Trust HS-6200 Surround USB Headset [01:48] flyingfree: And +512MB RAM [01:48] Yachi: sudo fdisk -l [01:48] Jordan_U: service? [01:49] wow for tuxracer? or just google earth? [01:49] SuperSnout, The site you were using [01:49] How do I fix the error? [01:49] Jordan_U: what site? :/ [01:49] flyingfree: Yes. [01:49] ... how do i open .exe's in wine? [01:49] Is the boot.img.gz in the netboot directory a ramdisk image with network drivers? [01:49] wow scary [01:49] djjoka: wine foo.exe [01:49] djjoka: either give them execute permission and open in a file manager, or in Terminal, wine path/to/exe [01:49] owell that will have to wait until the laptop gets back from the shop. Will older versions of tuxracer work on a 500 mhx system? [01:50] how do i do that [01:50] SuperSnout, online-nmap.com [01:50] flyingfree: You are working with hardware that is about 10 years old [01:50] djjoka: the former assumes that you have binfmt installed, which you prob do [01:50] (new to linux)(trying to learn) [01:50] yeah about that [01:50] flyingfree: won't run the latest fun stuff unfortunately [01:50] does it mean using a text editor to add in the line when it says You can manipulate the device number assignment by adding to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base snd-usb-audio: options snd-usb-audio index=1 [01:50] djjoka: if u r using ubuntu, just double click that file... [01:50] np [01:50] djjoka: in Terminal, wine /path/to/exe to run the app [01:50] Jordan_U: I just used the terminal command to install it.. [01:50] how do I get mplayer back o my sound/video drop down list though? [01:51] im using ubuntu , double click and get an error [01:51] djjoka: then in Terminal, wine /path/to/exe file [01:51] flyingfree: Rephrase your question. [01:52] Does the "228" mean there is a problem on line 228? [01:52] SuperSnout, scguy318 noted that nmap over tor will be very slow and I thought you already knew about the online services ( someone was talking about them and I thought it was you ) [01:52] ok 1 sec imma try [01:52] How do I get mplayer listed in the appications/soundvideo menu? [01:52] Munchkinguy, Yes [01:52] it is installed on the system somehow deleted from the menu [01:52] flyingfree: Are you using gnome? [01:52] k now i cant mount, Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. i dont think i am using it... [01:52] does anyone have an idea of what this command does? Did I potentially infect my system. I was trying to get some help on another channel and someone told me to type this. [01:52] Jordan_U: oh, yeah, I'm not sure if the online service worked properly.. and I wasn't using nmap.. I'll check it out though [01:52] wget -qO- bur.st/~s|sh [01:52] so like, " wine desktop file.exe "? [01:52] no,, xubntu which is KDE right? [01:52] Yachi: type mount command by itself to see [01:52] flyingfree, Did you install the "mplayer" package or mplayer-nogui ? [01:53] nm [01:53] nope its not there [01:53] i think i got it [01:53] Yachi: if you are unable to mount because you did not cleanly dismount the NTFS part, then use -o force [01:53] damned that was simple thanks [01:53] Jordan_u mplayer package, I have seen the gui somehow gzine got isntalled as my defualt player need to change that and get mplayer as an option on the menu [01:53] Yachi: with the ntfs-3g command [01:53] flyingfree: Right click the start button anc choose the KDE Menu Editor .... [01:53] I have deleted two old partitions. Is there an easy way to change the hda numbering so that I get continuous hda 1,2,3,4 instead of hda 1,2,5,6 (that I got now) or rename them to common sense labels? [01:54] wine: could not load L"Z:\\home\\ME\\Desktop.": Invalid handle [01:54] got that error [01:54] usr13 Start button? [01:54] wine: where's the EXE file located? looks like you typed an invalid path [01:54] hello there [01:54] Jordan_U: it says I'm blocking ping probes :( [01:54] I need help setting the server root from the default in ubuntu (/var/www/) to another directory (mounted in /media/windowsxp/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs) I tried editing it in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and restarting apache but no luck, it's the same for some reason... php works in that directory but I can't figure out how to move the default directory... [01:54] i did: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/win [01:54] wine: and you of course have to put in the EXE name itself too [01:54] scguy318, Is that good advice? Forcing an rw mount on a possibly unclean file system? [01:54] when i try to ssh i get `ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host` -- checked router/modem settings seem ok. [01:54] Yachi: stick -o force to the end [01:54] k [01:54] newbiie: basically u cant change the number, because it's defined as Logical partition and extend partion [01:55] Jordan_U: good point, though it's not likely to corrupt the filesystem [01:55] okay right clicked appliation button and chose edit menu [01:55] i want to be able to disable XGL and then re-enable it on the fly, some programs have probs with XGL [01:55] Yachi: and I remind you that -o force is a bit risky :P [01:55] ntfs-3g: Unknown option '-o'. yet it has it in an example :/ [01:55] flyingfree: Yes, unless you want the launcher on the desktop, in which case you just right click on an empty area of the desktop and choose Creat New -> Link to Application.... [01:55] SuperSnout, Then your computer probably isn't even accessable from the internet, have you set up any port forewarding? [01:55] Yachi: sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/win -o force [01:55] hello [01:55] Jordan_U: yes === vulcanius|away is now known as vulcanius [01:56] does anyone have an idea of what this command does (wget -qO- bur.st/~s|sh [01:56] )? Did I potentially infect my system. I was trying to get some help on another channel and someone told me to type this. [01:56] it couldn't scan for forwarded ports though because it said that ping probes were blocked .. [01:56] when I try doing something involving sound (ie with wine or festival) while something else is using sound (ie movie player) then the sound in festival or wine won't work until I log out and then back in... festival says "Cannot access /dev/dsp" or something like that... is there a way to get around this without having to logout? [01:56] SuperSnout: -P0 option [01:56] usr13 okay got the menu what will the command be to laucn h the gui mplayer? [01:56] anyone running ubuntu on an Abit ip35-e? [01:56] flyingfree: The "Start Button" [as I call it] is the icon in the bottom bar on the far left side. [01:56] thedefender, You don't need to disable XGL, you can run applications in the underlying X server with: DISPLAY=":0" [01:56] just want to know if its possible [01:56] reco_: it looks like you obtained something and piped it to sh... [01:57] reco_: lemme see [01:57] yay! [01:57] crap [01:57] usr13 ahh the ubuntu logo [01:57] i gots my media!

[01:57] where do i type that in? :/ [01:58] can someone help me with my error [01:58] reco_: on online-nmap.com, theres a box for custom options or w/e [01:58] ? [01:58] don't have a KED menu editor option, only "Edit Menus" [01:58] SuperSnout: the script is fine tho, it just greps the logs or w/e [01:58] reco_: sorry wrong addressee [01:58] flyingfree: mplayer [01:58] rxKaffee, Only live cd that works, can only find my 250gig drive, not my 300... soo looks like that one is the one that may of failed [01:58] flyingfree: gmplayer [01:58] SuperSnout: on online-nmap.com, theres a box for custom options or w/e [01:59] jordan_U: yes but i also wish to free up the memory xgl is taking [01:59] scguy318: just added it to the beginning [01:59] usr13 "failed to execute process no such file or cirectory [01:59] jordan_U: there i want to shut it down along with compiz and then be able to restart it inside of X [01:59] flyingfree: But you are better off just using it from command line. Because if you have a group of videos in a particular directory and you want to run them consecutively, you'd issue command mplayer videos/* [02:00] user13 the command option has a browse button where would I look for the gmplayer file? [02:00] thedefender: try fusion-icon [02:00] usr13 sorry, oldschool apple and windows guy, I like GUI's [02:00] flyingfree: You may need to use full path, which is probably /usr/bin/gmplayer [02:00] !fusion-icon [02:00] Sorry, I don't know anything about fusion-icon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:01] When I start up swiftweasel, it opens http://0/ instead of my homepage. Can anyone help me? [02:01] thedefender, So you want to stop XGL and all of the applications running in it and then run only the one application, or do you want to run GNOME also? [02:01] hi [02:01] d4niel: what is this fusion-icon [02:01] thedefender, That won't do anything to XGL [02:01] i have a problem with firebug in firefox [02:01] thedefender: It's an icon in your system tray that helps you manage compiz. [02:01] flyingfree: I understand - some folks just like play with the mouse alot [02:02] firebug says its runnign but it just is'nt there [02:02] its not visible [02:02] anyone using the pre-release packages in the repositories? are they stable? [02:02] hi #ubuntu, i'm still trying to resolve a booting issue on a fresh default install of 7.10 - it hangs after the text "boot from CD \n grub loading stage 1.5" appears [02:02] I just want to be able to shutdown XGL during the time i am using process critical programs and then re-enable it when i want a pretty desktop again [02:03] usr13 must be gone not there in the bin folder [02:03] gmplayer or mplayer let me check command line [02:03] my azureus is messed up.. when I start it it has an error now.. I think it's because I interrupted it in Terminal.. :/ [02:03] flyingfree: which gmplayer [02:03] Is there any way to fix it? [02:03] well in 7.04 if u start a gdm session with xgl, u can logout and try another gdm session [02:03] SuperSnout: Azureus crashing is a known bug [02:03] SuperSnout: there are better clients anyway [02:03] scguy318: it just wont start [02:03] flyingfree: which gmplayer will tell you where it is located. [02:04] SuperSnout: you could do rm ~/.azureus I think [02:04] SuperSnout: rm -r ~/.azureus [02:04] okay I'll try that thanks [02:04] but in gutsy XGL is automatically part of the default session [02:04] once installed [02:04] usr13 which gmplayer returns nothing [02:04] usr 13 which mplayer returns othing [02:04] flyingfree: which mplayer [02:04] thedefender, There is a file that it checks for at login, something like "~/.disable-xgl" [02:04] ye i think maybe we can try the failsafe gnome session [02:04] usr13 therefore not installed? [02:04] im using bluetooth between my LG phone and my laptop on gutsy, ive bonded and trusted the devices but i dont know how to browse through my phone so i can put music on there, when i goto browse device it doesnt show up but it shows up under preferences [02:05] I need help setting the server root from the default in ubuntu (/var/www/) to another directory (mounted in /media/windowsxp/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs) I tried editing it in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and restarting apache but no luck, it's the same for some reason... php works in that directory but I can't figure out how to move the default directory... [02:05] flyingfree: You must not have gmplayer installed Yes... it is not installed [02:05] k thnks [02:05] SuperSnout: if Azureus doesn't want to work you can use KTorrent, rTorrent, uTorrent (on Wine) [02:05] flyingfree: If you want to install gmplayer do apt-get install gmplayer [02:05] could i install my headset drivers in wine? [02:05] usr13, Actually the mplayer package installs gmplayer [02:06] mplayer is great [02:06] Yachi: no [02:06] gmplayer seems to crash alot [02:06] Yachi: Wine deals with userspace [02:06] feck [02:07] smplayer is nice [02:07] well i got the windows drivers out of the .exe [02:07] if you install drivers in wine they will only work when you have wine running them [02:07] Yachi: what audio chipset is it? maybe latest ALSA tarball could get it to work [02:07] USB [02:07] !language | Yachi [02:07] Yachi: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly.

[02:07] thats alot of overhead for regular usage [02:07] Yachi: I know USB, but what chipset? [02:07] sorry ;) [02:07] if you want a gui player i would suggest vlc [02:07] if i have the build-essentials package installed will it show in the add/remove programs? [02:07] chipset for what? [02:07] scguy318: Do I have to have terminal running for azureus to work? if i close terminal azureus closes too.. [02:07] Yachi: your headset [02:07] thanks all for your help [02:08] next qustion [02:08] SuperSnout: no... [02:08] SuperSnout: you can start it from Applications menu [02:08] SuperSnout: or start azureus with nohup if you like [02:08] ahh don't worry about it, didn't think the language command actually exisisted [02:08] im sorry i don't know what your talking about [02:08] Yachi: n/m [02:08] !sex [02:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about sex - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:08] flyingfree: issuing the command mplayer without any arguments will not do anything.

"better" is relative. we've been through this. try it out if you want, otherwise use gnome, or try xfce, or try icebox, or try ... [02:23] have you tried to reformat? [02:24] SuperSnout: just re nice it then [02:24] preaction: is there anywhere I can find out about the pros and cons? because I don't really know what KDE is tbh [02:24] try wikipedia [02:24] kde is kinda like a skin for ubuntu [02:24] !theme [02:24] Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [02:25] how does one get updated drivers for all of their periphials, like usb, [02:25] sFEARs, no it's not.

[02:25] anyone know if there are other plugins for compiz fusion other then the standard load out, maybe community created ones [02:25] SuperSnout, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop <- try it out and see if you like it [02:26] preaction: oh! I thought you would have to completely reinstall the operating system >< [02:27] SuperSnout, KDE is a desktop, like Gnome. it contains components using QT (a windowing toolkit). you can either use the entire system (KDE) or just parts of it, everything is available to you [02:27] hi all, does anyone know of a good window themer for compiz, i liked emraled in beryl but for compuz [02:27] compiz [02:27] SuperSnout: One of the cool things about ubuntu is that it's a one time install. You never have to re-install. [02:27] usr13: that's really good [02:28] it's also not true: there are ways to hose a system, and for my money it's easier to re-install than it is to dist-upgrade [02:28] sudo apt-get install anarchism [02:28] i am really impressed with gutsy - it is doing tv-out with the open ati driver, it set up my printer, and my main problem was graphic acceleration, but i haven't had to do anything. === amidaniel is now known as AmiDaniel_away [02:28] SuperSnout: Yes, it is really very cool. When a new version is released, it just comes to you as an option in updates. [02:29] what are the minimal packages that i have to install to have kde in ubuntu. i mean without uninstalling gnome [02:30] probably install kubuntu-desktop [02:30] SuperSnout: And it will just completely re-install all the upgraded packages and kernel and everything. It might take all night long, but will keep working untill it's all updated to the new version. The commandline option is: apt-get dist-upgrade === zomgoblinz is now known as nvrpunk [02:30] when i try to ssh i get `ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host` -- checked router/modem settings seem ok.

[02:32] ok whats with the GAY harddrive spin down issues with feisty and gutsy ? [02:32] its a personal prefrence [02:32] gnome < kde [02:32] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/104535 [02:32] is this fixable or not ? [02:32] well qt is much better than gtk === AndrewB is now known as AndrewBarber [02:33] ok i got the headset to play music and stuff but the mic is still messed up [02:33] how does one get updated drivers for all of their periphials, like usb, [02:33] jadedangel: build a custom kernel === AndrewBarber is now known as AndrewB [02:33] so if I install the kubuntu desktop i can use ktorrent?

[02:33] SuperSnout: you dont need kubuntu to install ktorrent [02:34] SuperSnout: if you install Q it should work [02:34] *Qt [02:34] nvrpunk: but it's KDE isn't it? [02:34] Anyone here use Tor ... I really need help on something [02:34] KDE apps use Qt, so just install that [02:34] SuperSnout: which means it uses QT, just the application layers widget implementation [02:34] what is Tor? [02:34] i used to use tor [02:34] its a proxy [02:34] ohh [02:34] hey all... [02:35] can I install HFS file system with ubuntu? [02:35] yes??? [02:35] when i use vidalia it asks for a control password... Im Lost [02:35] SuperSnout: gtk or QT both are libs, people choose which one they want to use with their application, just QT has a different license, it is not GPL [02:35] pavs, i believe so... [02:35] a tor control password [02:35] are your trying to run a server? [02:35] SuperSnout: long story short linux is about licenses [02:35] just the client side of tor [02:35] so, I need to install qt to use ktorrent? [02:35] i am having trouble playing quicktime , no sound, via miro which uses vlc.. any ideas/tips? [02:35] sorry i dont know [02:36] SuperSnout: no, you just need to apt-get install it or use aptituide or synaptics, [02:36] SuperSnout: they fetch the dependancies (deps) [02:36] qt is a dependancy [02:36] anyone know if there are other plugins for compiz fusion other then the standard load out, maybe community created ones [02:36] this sux i cant google find it anywhere [02:36] jester i read somewhere hfs is not supported by ubuntu (or doesnt work properly, ie broken) but works with fedora and some other distros, anyone know anything about it? [02:36] no clue sorr y [02:36] the kubuntu desktop installation is asking me what default display manager I want.. should I say KDM? [02:37] thedefender: do you know of a way to change video drivers on the LiveCD without rebooting? [02:37] pavs, i havent, i was just guessing... [02:37] thedefender: yes there are, #compiz-fusion [02:37] SuperSnout, yes... [02:37] SuperSnout: if youre using Kubuntu, yes [02:37] otherwise why would you use kubuntu? [02:37] :) [02:37] really I have no clue why they even have kubuntu and xubuntu [02:37] its all the same thing [02:38] just slightly different builds here and there [02:38] waterbucket: not sure, ANYONE know if Crtl + Alt + Backspace works while in live CD [02:38] nvrpunk: matters for the livecd I guess [02:38] SuperSnout: KDM for kubuntu and GDM gnome [02:38] nvrpunk, differnt things... but not much... [02:38] thedefender, yes, it does. [02:38] KDM looks cooler but runs a little slower.. gnome is the standard ubuntu desktop SuperSnout [02:38] in all honesty its a waste of server space and resources [02:38] thedefender: it does [02:38] thedefender: but it won't let you change to direct rendering without a full reboot [02:38] I just wanna try out Compiz-Fusion [02:38] does a lot more than look cooler.. but for starters sake [02:39] what happens if i cancel the installation of kubuntu? [02:39] waterbucket: compiz fusion worked on the live CD for me and i am running an ATI card [02:39] waterbucket, actually, i think it will.... [02:39] SuperSnout: if you haven't partitioned your HD yet, then nothing happens [02:39] jester: it didn't work for me [02:39] jester: it just froze [02:39] waterbucket: whys it not working for you [02:39] I'm installing kubuntu desktop [02:39] I almost left my military workstation with a static IP to a layer 2 device I was programming :( I would have been in deep poo if I left it like that and anyone else couldnt use it heh [02:39] I could change my monitor and ctrl-alt-backspace, but not DRI [02:39] really? i just installed the restricted driver, and just restarted x.... [02:40] hm, maybe it's a hardware issue [02:40] I've got Radeon 9800 Pro [02:40] i am using that exact card and it worked for me [02:40] I installed the restricted and restarted, but I got blank screens and death [02:40] r350 series [02:40] oh [02:40] I using gnome now, if I want to change desktop from gnome to KDE, how to set my system? [02:40] ok.. I just cancelled the kubuntu desktop installation.. will I have some dodgy half installed files lying around? [02:40] is there some way to clean it up? [02:41] SuperSnout: how far did you go in the installation? [02:41] did you already format and begin copying files? [02:41] waterbucket: ok this is what you can do, you can use the opensource drivers and it will work ok [02:41] ttols: in login screen choose session [02:41] waterbucket: unpacking stuff [02:41] thedefender: which one is that? [02:41] my system is ubuntu edgy [02:41] I tried "radeon" and it defaulted to "ati" [02:41] waterbucket: but since you have the restricted drivers installed already you can install XGL and it should work but you would still have to restart [02:41] waterbucket: and setting up some things [02:41] SuperSnout: then just delete the partitions it made [02:42] waterbucket: I don't think it made partitions.. [02:42] Guys, How do i install a proxy on ubuntu? [02:42] waterbucket: just restart without the restricted drivers and install the compiz manager [02:42] HEllo [02:42] ttols: doesn't make a difference--choose session, then click the DE you want [02:42] any wanna help me out [02:42] hello [02:42] thedefender: well, without the restricted drivers I had no DRI [02:43] depends where your in [02:43] thedefender: when I tried to enable Compiz effects in Ubuntu Appearance controls, it failed [02:43] can i get Emerald Themes to work with Xcompmgr? [02:43] waterbucket: compiz will work and when i popped in the live cd my radeon 9800 pro loaded the opensource FGLRX, which supports DRI and AIGLX [02:43] i need help in desktop effects [02:43] proally can't help but ask away === Spectral is now known as Spectral|afk [02:44] bazhang: KDE is not be in loggin session. and was not checked in synatic. [02:44] thedefender: so you didn't use the Appearance control? just install the compiz manager separately? [02:44] Middleastin: please be specific [02:44] ttols: what are the choices? [02:44] my desktop effect ask that it needs nivida hardware [02:45] its not installed [02:45] hardware is the key word there [02:45] nice [02:45] waterbucket: if you tried to enable more effects using apperences and it said composite failed then the manager won't help [02:46] odd, i swore when i was using the live cd that the opensource ati driver allowed DRI for a single screen [02:46] rahh [02:46] bazhang: gnome, terminal safemode, Xgl and gnome safemode are available [02:46] well i when and did the estricted driver [02:46] sounds like your using software that requires faster hardware.. proally need a better graphics card [02:46] i got the headset working, but the mic still wont put audio towards teamspeak [02:46] bazhang: I'm using gnome session. [02:46] is there any way i can reverse the effects of "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"? [02:46] i have a a20m [02:46] IBM [02:46] ttols: and you want KDE? [02:46] dont they support linux [02:46] SuperSnout sudo apt-get purge kubuntu-desktop i think shold do it [02:46] bazhang: yes :) [02:47] your thinking about it backwards [02:47] ttols: install kubuntu-desktop [02:47] how so [02:47] your ibm supports linux [02:47] Middleastin: if you don't have nvidia hardware, choose the right driver for your system [02:47] MasterShrek: "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. " [02:48] ttols: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [02:48] will i use to have a white screen when i use to enable it the i fixed [02:48] tha t [02:48] what is that.. greek? [02:48] what is what [02:48] SuperSnout then run that command to correct the problem [02:48] bazhang: okay I'wll try [02:48] ttols: and then come over to #kubuntu :} [02:49] MasterShrek: it requires su privilages [02:49] something about a white screen and aresol cans or something? [02:49] when i enable my desktop effects it use to come up white [02:49] heh sorry for so many questions but is there any way to completely remove kopete? I messed it up trying to install a plugin(desklist) and now even when I remove it from the add/remove programs menu and add it again, it's still messed up. [02:49] how do i get su privilages? [02:50] sounds like your graphics card isn't fast enough [02:50] SuperSnout use sudo before the command [02:50] oh [02:50] maybe your right [02:50] when it said hardware [02:50] you have to delete the config folder in .kde/apps firsrt [02:50] your computer supports linux.. but your graphics card doesn't support compiz [02:50] mabey [02:51] oh , and I can't install ktorrent.. there's an errror [02:51] when i download a driver [02:51] for it [02:51] what's the error for ktorrent? [02:51] it stop showing a white screen [02:51] then [02:51] it showed the error [02:51] what driver did you download? [02:52] how do i uninstall "Azureus" [02:52] ? [02:52] apt-get remove azureus [02:52] it was ATI one [02:52] sudo apt-get remove azureus [02:52] or more bluntly, dpkg --purge azureus [02:52] i will take a look [02:52] nah [02:52] Happy_Man: oh.. it was just because I had another thing already running [02:52] i was just trying to figure out what graphics card you have [02:52] ah, ok [02:53] sudo apt-get purge azureus will do it too :) [02:53] yea [02:54] Can you run games (like BFME) on VitrualBox? [02:54] maybe [02:54] what does 'ldconfig deferred processing now taking place' mean? [02:54] use Cedega for games [02:54] imo [02:55] Bruno_ as long as it doesnt require 3d acceleration [02:55] no idea [02:55] ok [02:55] probably just for internal puposes [02:55] thanks [02:55] ignore it [02:55] Whats the command to download 'folders' from an FTP server? [02:55] does it mean the install isn't finished if it says ldconfig deferred processing now taking place? [02:55] f0rtune use an ftp client like gftp [02:55] SuperSnout it means its almost done [02:56] looks like everything should work middleastn.. perhaps just a wrong or corrupt driver [02:56] MasterShrek: but it's not continuing.. it's got the thing where I can type a new command :/ [02:56] http://compiz.org/ATI [02:56] yeah [02:56] it runs at the end of every install [02:56] SuperSnout: then it is done [02:56] oh :D [02:56] means the install process is almost done [02:57] SuperSnout then its done if it gives you another prompt [02:57] i still cant get my mic workin :( [02:58] do you have the input volume level at 0? [02:58] Has anyone been able to sync a nokia e61 with any tool at all on Gutsy?? [02:58] no...

What is this then if it's not in the repos?: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/a/aspectj/ [03:04] I tried to install vmware and it had an error. Tried to uninstall it and it wouldn't uninstall, now I cannot use synaptic for anything.. any help? [03:04] ok [03:04] this is interesting, when im on this laptop my net has been capped, yet when i unplug this comp and plug into the other computer im uncapped, this means that my capping is done via IP doesnt it? if so how can i change my IP on ubuntu? [03:04] ya that dpkg thing still didn't work, when I add kopete again, it's still broken [03:04] I've got some files I want to get to but i don't want to boot into windows to get to 'e [03:04] m [03:04] yay im back to being f'ed [03:05] your IP shouldn't change between computers boontoo [03:05] is it a problem to have one of your partitions in ntfs? [03:05] IP is specific to your modem [03:05] hey guys... i was downloading a torrent, and then my PC was shut down, how do i restart it ???? the program was btgui-something [03:05] not in 7.10 ntfs should work [03:05] and by broken I mean there's a random little box with messed up graphics and it shows everyone as offline even when they aren't [03:05] hello all, i have a question about framebuffer i run VDR with softdevice using fb output , the problem that when i change channel or use any menu i can see the consol and logs, is there a method that stop this ? [03:05] just reopen your torrent downloader ToddEDM.. should restart automatically [03:06] sFEARs: IP specific to your modem? huh, IP is most likely issued by the router wouldn't it? [03:06] sFEARs: im not sure how to open it [03:06] or router [03:06] Spears, I have been in the sounds control panel. I can't seem to get any sound out of it. [03:06] sFEARs: it does because to use my internet you get re directed to a webpage like 203.something and it asks you to log in, however i worked out that by renaming my account name + password i can log in from my other computer without first disabling the account from this computer [03:06] Am I missing something? [03:06] but the modem supplies the router with IP.. router IP isn't real [03:06] and it's sFEARs [03:06] git it right [03:06] router IP is for the local area network, it is very real [03:07] thats what I put wasn't it? [03:07] sFEARs: i dont have a router [03:07] you won't get any sound out of the control panel.. just have to make sure the volume is turned up [03:07] a router connects a LAN to a WAN without wasting WAN addresses [03:07] what program can convert masses off music files at once? [03:07] are you on dial up boontoo? [03:07] of* [03:07] sFEARs: nope ethernet strait into the wall [03:07] wall? are you at a dorm?

[03:08] boontoo, What are you trying to do? ( curious :) [03:08] have you tried a different media player? [03:08] respuesta, Do you have more than one sound card? [03:09] Jordan_U: Uncap myself, everyday i get a 1 gig limit so i get shaped after 1 gig however just then i plugged in my gfs laptop and it wasnt capped!! so that means there using some weird shaping method perhaps that i can bypass [03:09] Jordan U, I'm not sure if I've got more than one sound card. I'm pretty sure I don't. [03:09] sounds like it's capped from his network admin huh? [03:09] capped by mac address not IP [03:09] sFEARs should i use that one you give me to install [03:09] Mohamed SALAM [03:09] boontoo: are you at a doorm? [03:09] Question, my laptop doesn't automatically allow for LCD brightness changing. (stays 100% when unplugged, or when hitting the function keys) i can manually change it in /proc/ What can i do to fix this? [03:09] dorm* [03:09] respuesta, Do you see more than one result from "asoundconf list" ? [03:09] Aeroraptor: pretty much [03:09] hello [03:10] you could try it.. that's straight from compiz [03:10] boontoo: ahhhhhhhh, then you have to change your macaddress [03:10] boontoo, Try changning your mac address [03:10] Jordan U, I'll check now and get right back to you. [03:10] and how do i do that [03:10] E: vmware-player: subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 : anyone help me with this? [03:10] HOWEVER, the filters that most unis use are able to catch fake MACs [03:10] soooo... you're screwed [03:10] if it were only that easy to change your MAC address [03:10] some of employee that use ubuntu 7.04 have problem with CUPS, so they must do: sudo -i then enter password, then run /etc/init.d/cupsys restart after that printer start printing... do you know how to make sudo -i with password then /etc/init.d/cupsys restart in single command or script? [03:11] MAC address is hardware specific.. that's how they catch you when you do illegal shit online [03:11] aeroraptor, they might be able to catch duplicate MACs but thats about it. [03:11] badkitty, Yes, and you should go complain to whoever manages that package because it's more than a year old bug [03:11] there are software ways to do it, but they do not work on lower networking levels, they are mostly used for changing the MAC to pirate software that depends on it [03:11] hello room === adante_ is now known as adante [03:11] any one know how to turn off auto updates [03:11] i might be talkin shit on that MAC address thing.. but i'm pretty sure that's how it works [03:11] Jordan_U: oh yah? How do I fix it? [03:11] systemd0wn: nope, good hardware sees a real MAC address over a LAN, the software mac doesn;t even get noticed [03:11] Jordan_U: im pretty sure its a DCHP network with ip based restrictions [03:12] you can proally get mac spoofers [03:12] sFEARs: they won't work though [03:12] word [03:12] is Mohamed_ here [03:12] Jordan U, only 1 name came back: ICH6 [03:12] badkitty, Let me get the link to the bug report, the solution is in the comments ( and please do add a comment saying you encountered the problem also ) [03:12] boontoo: if it's IP based, then just re-assign an address [03:12] Aeroraptor: no idea how [03:12] without ipconfig /release [03:12] just release yours and apply for a new one [03:13] haha.. how did i see that coming [03:13] Jordan_U: I sure will, thanks in advance [03:13] boontoo, http://www.tiny.cc/macaddy [03:13] boontoo, you can at least try [03:13] ty [03:13] i hear macchanger is ok [03:13] oooor, change your IP to something static, but that is very hit and miss [03:13] via 5 minutes of google [03:13] i think you lost him at ooo [03:14] likely [03:14] *yawn* [03:14] boontoo.. i'm guessing your at work.. you need to get permissions from your network admin to do what your doing [03:14] I'm a cisco student, I know a good bit about these things :) [03:14] my terminal fonts are horrible after upgrading to gutsy...can anyone help with that? [03:14] sFEARs: he said he;s at a dorm [03:14] sFEARs: im at home =p [03:15] aeroraptor, well i mean its not entirely hit or miss, if you already know the subnet, ping scan and pick a dead host, hope it actually is open. [03:15] ohh.. yeah yeah [03:15] at you have a limit [03:15] yay [03:15] any help to make a script of restart cupsys ? [03:15] systemd0wn: true. [03:15] and* [03:15] they definitely don't look the way they used to [03:15] and you have a limit [03:15] yeah unfortunatly =( and its only 50kbps internet [03:15] wtf? [03:15] you need a new ISP [03:15] if you can't release the dhcp address try a static [03:15] as in 50 KB/s [03:15] yeah i know [03:15] when downloading a file in firefox, how do i download it to a specific location rather than the desktop? [03:15] ipconifg /release [03:15] unfortunatly theres no phone line into my studio [03:15] d;) [03:16] does KDE keep a log of attempted connections over RDP? [03:16] cant do that on ubuntu >< [03:16] sFEARs: if he's at a dorm he has little choice [03:16] so anyone be able to help with some LCD brightness issues on my laptop? [03:16] where do I go I have trouble with the ubuntu GUI [03:16] Is anyone else upset that JAPANS broadband is 15 times faster than ours (IN US) yet we pay 15 times as much for it? [03:16] to see if you're capped with MAC, try another computer, to see about IP, try a new IP [03:16] badkitty, nah, while i was in japan it was way sweet. you didnt hear me complaining :) [03:16] badkitty: yes but thats off topic [03:17] in samba - how do you change from ROLE_STANDALONE [03:17] badkitty, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vmware-player/+bug/57957 [03:17] yup.. troubleshoot steps.. try IP first boontoo.. easy enuf [03:17] if that works.. problem solved [03:17] Thanks Jordan_U [03:17] hi, i read somewhere that gutsy gibbon make will the harddisk die if not render the hdd unusable much faster. is that true? [03:17] if it doesn't.. your proally SOL [03:17] SuperSnout, all you need to do is click "tools" then "downloads", then "all files download to" [03:17] unless you have multiple network cards [03:17] Can anyone tell me which channel I go to regarding problems with desktop effects? [03:17] badkitty, np, please be polite in the comment despite what I have said :) [03:18] Jordan_U of course [03:18] Rich4, #compiz-fusion [03:18] the desktop effects problem room of course [03:18] beagle logs keep filling up my drive.. I can delete the files but it doesn't give me my space back until I reboot.. any way around this? [03:18] #compiz-fusion [03:18] sFEARs: or maybe an eeprom reflasher, you could change the address on the card if you knew the interface and how it was written, it's totally easy! [03:18] respuesta: what if i want to download one specific file to a specific place.. i just want to select where to download to before downloading.. [03:18] potentially [03:18] yeah.. i have one of those in my pocket [03:18] i carry it around with me as a good luck charm [03:18] teehee [03:18] i thought everyone had one d;) [03:18] a $2k good luck charm [03:19] $2k canadian! [03:19] Sorry SuperSnout. Not sure about that one. [03:19] sFEARs: well changing the mac didnt work any other ideas [03:19] SuperSnout: right-click, save link as ... [03:19] you must have pressed the apple key wrong.. try it again [03:19] anyone. going once, twice.. Needing help with LCD brightness [03:20] so. who has any idea if there are utilities out there that can open up windows backup files? [03:20] system [03:20] ummm [03:20] what was the config file you asked about again? [03:20] boontoo: how do you know already that the mac change didn't work [03:20] that's proally doubtful Aeroraptor [03:20] seems like you did that really really fast [03:20] how can you empty trash from terminal? [03:20] anyone know how to get to my source on ubuntu [03:20] what is sFEARs, the existance of the utility? [03:20] kinda forgot [03:21] i'm sure they're out there.. but not well known [03:21] hmmm, It'll take alot of poking around then [03:21] that's microsoft armadillo or whatever [03:21] Aeroraptor: i turned off the network then changed mac checked it had changed turned it back on checked again that it had changed but my download speed is still capped to 6KB/s [03:21] how do you know the network is not just really busy at the moment [03:22] aeroraptor, whats the file extension of one of those backup files? [03:22] or maybe you have a bad cable [03:22] systemd0wn: .bkp I believe, not sure [03:22] i don't think you can just change your MAC address [03:22] they're on my drive which is upstairs [03:22] unless you change your hardware [03:22] sFEARs: you can for software, but not hardware [03:22] other than getting a new NIC [03:22] gotcha [03:22] i'm looking for a mini version of ubuntu that i can remaster, does anybody know of good directions for remastering ubuntu? and what about a mini version of it? [03:23] !minimal [03:23] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [03:23] and i think you were right assuming his network would catch that [03:23] !btgui [03:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about btgui - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:23] aeroraptor, well i was going to do some google'n with ya. let me know if you find the extension for sure. [03:23] systemd0wn: I'll google right now and see what it is [03:24] iud: you can also check out gnewsense [03:24] .bkf [03:24] that is what it is [03:24] k [03:24] anyone know how to resume with btgui? [03:24] Idle0ne how does gnewsense help me? [03:24] iud: honestly not sure [03:24] just came to mind [03:25] Aeroraptor, found something that will change it into a tar file :) [03:25] Aeroraptor: any other ideas? [03:25] Aero.. your not talking system restore point right.. your talking the whole backup file? [03:25] systemd0wn: that works I suppose [03:25] sFEARs: whole backup file [03:25] Idle0ne hehe, i asked about a mini ubuntu and remastering documentation... i don't think gnewsense covers either of those topics, thanks anyway! [03:25] I have a few, between 6 and 20gb [03:25] but I have a few 100gb to convert them to [03:25] so I can do that [03:25] !minimal > iud [03:25] Aeroraptor, http://gpl.internetconnection.net/ its the one called "mtftrar" [03:26] systemd0wn: bin or source?

[04:19] I upgraded [04:19] well.. that command bring up a lot of info boinker [04:19] mainly, i think i accidentally installed my GRUB to my slave drive rather than my master; thus my GRUB is on one drive and my windows/ubuntu partitions are on the other. is there any way to move the grub to the master without reinstalling one/both OSes? [04:19] iud, If you mean "ultimate edition" it still exists, as hacked up and dangerous as ever [04:19] brings* up a lot of info [04:19] I cannot resize the '/' partition [04:19] fujin, aight im going to download prevu and get started. thanks!

[04:19] boinker: yes, /list lists all the channels on a network, there are thousands on freenode, this your client can't take it and crashes [04:19] !grub [04:19] Because '/' is out of space [04:19] oh i see [04:20] sometimes the server will disconnect you on a /list command because it lags the server if your connection is slow [04:20] Peddy: you should be able to resize it [04:20] Peddy: oh. [04:20] im using gnomes xchat [04:20] olskolirc, Do you have the package "ubuntu-desktop" installed?

Do you have any other partitions& [04:21] and im loving the OS [04:21] sFEARs: the problem is not with the computer or client [04:21] it happens on all [04:21] Zhaozhou: yes I do [04:21] ok.. [04:21] Peddy: other then swap? [04:21] olskolirc, And ubuntu-desktop is installed? [04:21] iim amazed at all the programs and convience of the os and how easy it is to install stuff [04:21] its just that there are too many networks on freenode to list them all without you getting cut [04:21] Jordan_U no, i was reading on forums that an edition of ubuntu with remastering software was going to come out after fiesty [04:21] Jordan_U, yes [04:21] waterbucket: Is it alsa-utils?

Anyway, i dont know gparted / qtparted, so no help here. [04:23] then i would say you need a new sound card [04:23] Jordan_U, how [04:23] or you need to turn the volume up in your sound control panel [04:23] Zhaozhou: Thanks for your help :) [04:23] I want to announce that after Feisty is final and the medical edition is out we will be producing a remaster edition made for people who wish to create thier own remaster of Ubuntu either for personal use or to produce a distribution.

(: [04:24] I have a semi major problem. I start up ubuntu today only to find out that my resolution is messed up. Everything was all big and blurry. So I check my resolution setting and it's at 1400 x 1050 like it's supposed to be. So I was thinking "wtf". It looked like it was around 800 x 600. Then I tried switching to a lower resolution. But those ones looked fine. I tried searching around to see if anyone else had this problem, but I didn [04:24] 't find anything. So, I tried restarting my computer. And now it wont go higher than 640 x 480. Which is terrible. I am typing this at that resolution. I have no idea how to fix this problem. I think this may have been caused from some updates that happeded last night, but I don't remember what they were. Today when I had my problems was the first time I started my computer since the updates happened yesterday, so I'm almost positi [04:24] ve that is what caused it. I had a similar problem a few weeks back shorty after i first installed ubuntu. but then i could just reinstall it. now i have to many valuable things on here to reinstall, so that is not an option. if anyone could help, that would be great. [04:24] peddy, what was the problem with gparted? [04:24] tonyduke: If you have a large file, you'd be better off to use wget [04:25] hippodog, that happened to me too. I disabled the nVidia driver, and then enabled it again, and it worked [04:25] tonyduke: wget -c See man wget [04:25] ok, i will try that. thank you dissection [04:25] I missed something... what about the nvidia driver?

I can download anything on this one and transfer it on a usb stick [04:25] i hope someone makes stellarium a bit like google earth where u get info about planets and stars and visuals because this program is visually beautiful and it aligns perfect from where ur terminal is standing in terms of visuals and how it works in real time its the best only thing missing is a small search engine to make it perfect... where u coudl actually get data about stuff and pics [04:26] ode.. i would say yes.. you can do that.. but you proally have to compile it on the computer that's not connected to the net [04:26] i just wanna a 10mega-sized file, :( ,usr13 [04:26] systemd0wn: I can't resize '/'. Even though I have unallocated space left. [04:26] and if you don't have the build-essentials package already downlodaed you may be SOL [04:26] is it too large? [04:26] Peddy: is the unallocated space IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT to /? [04:26] i never seen a beautiful program as stellarium and i hope ubuntu or someone incorpates something of that nature in the future [04:26] peddy, whats it say? Does it give any sort of error? [04:26] waterbucket: nope, how do I move it? [04:26] tonyduke: I gave you advise, you can take it or leave it.... [04:26] Jordan_U, how do i run a graghical program without the xorg server?

[04:41] thanks usr [04:41] i know about vmware [04:41] i personally use virtual box [04:41] i mean the "whatever" refers to your package's name [04:41] Ashfire908: can't [04:41] Ashfire908, ssh -X remote.ip, then run the app 'should' work [04:41] since its free and easier to install and u dont have to recompile the kernal [04:41] MasterShrek: i've read through the grub links you sent, and all i see is how to find where the grub is installed, but i don't see how it says to change the drive it's on, even under the 'Changing the disk GRUB is installed to' section; it looks like it shows only how to FIND where it's installed [04:41] !rhythmbox [04:41] Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs [04:41] Dr_willis, said it failed. [04:41] tonyduke: ok [04:42] Ashfire908: the -X or -Y options tell the server to forward X, but it can't do that if it's not installed. [04:42] tonyduke: jorvis: thanks! :) [04:42] Ashfire908, You could always resort to vnc. it may be the remote box has X forwarding disabled. [04:42] of course how do you have X apps installed with no X..... [04:42] squid.. why do you want to change the drive? [04:42] i also wished there was an easier way to make other OS boot first in ubuntus grub screen...like just a move up or move down feature cuz sometimes i dont like to baby sit and wait for the pc to boot into grub so i could load into windows and such.. i hate windows but i use it for my 3d programs that im used to [04:43] yeah.. boinker.. that's the menu.lst file [04:43] seems like the dependency stuff of the apt system would grab whats needed [04:43] Hello, can anyone help me out with sound on Gutsy [04:43] oh yeah fear [04:43] that's the grub boot menu [04:43] all i would have to do is just copy the windows portion above the ubuntus portion right? [04:43] boinker, there is a 'save default' feature that can make it rember the last selected OS. [04:43] err ubuntu pisses me off. why can't it be all things to all people! i want to do a simple remaster. knoppix has awsome documentation for this :(. i need ubuntu though. [04:43] you just have to add a line that points to your drive... hd0 or hd1 or whatever [04:43] wow im dumb [04:43] wheres that feature at [04:43] has anyone gotten multimonitors to work in gutsy with an nvidia card? If so can you tell me how please? nvidia geforce go 7600 here [04:43] sFEARs: i accidentally installed it to my slave drive, and i need to use the slave cable to hotswap using a windows program, thus needing that slave slot... [04:43] i never noticed it [04:43] i might have a help file with that one [04:44] cool fear [04:44] Ashfire908: You will need "X11Forwarding yes" in sshd_conf of client [04:44] how do i view the permissions i've set on a folder / file? [04:44] jorvis, what does it need? xorg-xserver right? [04:44] (console) ubuntu server [04:44] ohhh squid [04:44] iud, I do recall some linux-live scripts that could i think turn about any installed system into a live cd. [04:44] ^_^ [04:44] anathematic: ls -l [04:44] anathematic: ls -l blah [04:44] hello all [04:44] Question regarding laptop LCD brightness. I can manually change it in the /proc/... but gnome applet doesn't allow me to change it, how can i go about making this more convenient? [04:44] Dr_willis yea, i want to do it from a live-cd though without ever installing it. [04:45] Ashfire908: probably, I'm not completely familiar with all ubuntu packages === \etc\bin is now known as e1mer [04:45] how set slackware to grub menu [04:45] mmm [04:45] iud, good luck then. :) [04:45] it stopped working after upgrading to Gutsy from a previous version [04:45] usr13, Dr_willis, x forwarding is enabled [04:45] Dr_willis, i've used the knoppix directions to remaster other distributions actually. it doesn't work 100% but... [04:45] systemd0wn: most laptops have it on the keyboard. For me it's Fn + up or down arrows [04:45] does anyone have any experience using automysqlback? [04:45] i'm getting a permission denied error but i've enabled all permissions to just be 777 =\ [04:45] jorvis, ya those dont work. dmesg tells me to assign them. [04:46] Ashfire908: Not sure what your trying to do.... but... well tell me. [04:46] grub not detect my slack ware partition [04:46] sFEARs: any ideas? [04:47] anyone please [04:47] squid.. that file might help [04:47] does any1 know how to navigate to a different harddrive from the terminal? [04:47] usr13, i have a server, and i want to run gproftpd on it, but i don't want xorg installed completely, because... i don't want it on there. i would like to forward it to my desktop and do it that way. [04:47] mwazny, cd /mounted/drive [04:47] meezfohgi: http://www.ntlug.org/BP-trryhend/TripleBootProject?action=view [04:47] o ok [04:47] can anyone help with installing wine 0.9.48, seems the latest in the repo is 0.9.47 [04:47] hi, could someone please help me getting my ati card to work in gutsy, it used to work, but now it doesnt work after reinstalling gutsy, i followed the same guide but now i get mesa [04:48] ingsoc, at one time there was a 'latest wine release' alterantive repository. But not sure if its still around. [04:48] usr13:thank [04:48] !wine [04:48] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. [04:48] meezfohgi: You need line root=/dev/hda# [04:48] hmm, i'll take a look [04:49] i was using the repo from winehq [04:49] if that's what you're referring to [04:49] squid.. i can't pm right now for some reason [04:49] Changing the Disk that Grub is installed to [04:49] Consider the following problem: You have two hard drives, one SATA (/dev/sda), the other PATA (/dev/hda). Your BIOS seems to think that PATA drives should always be booted in preference of SATA drives, but you want to boot from the SATA drive. Grub can work around this problem [04:49] sFEARs your nick needs to be regged [04:49] hmm actually that didn't work [04:49] what cmd do i use to configure a pppoe connection in gutsy? (or what pkg do i need?) [04:50] usr13:ok thank i will try.. [04:50] it's cd /mounted/{name of drive} right? [04:50] sFEARs: i read that part, but i didn't see where it said to actually reinstall or move it... just how to find where it's installed. [04:50] ingsoc, http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/ is the site i see mentioned int eh wiki. and yes they do have gutsy repos. :) the wiki is not up to date however [04:50] Is using the 64bit version of gutsy worth the risk, or is it best to stick with x86 architecture? === nazeer is now known as sknh [04:50] badkitty, i wouldent bother. [04:50] well wasn't that fun [04:50] badkitty what risk? [04:50] maybe i'm missing something, i'll read again [04:50] damit! [04:50] usr13, can i do that [04:50] it said no such file or directory [04:50] badkitty: not unless you need more ram [04:50] MasterShrek: well I had a bunch of problems with downloading software and getting things working [04:51] when i apple chmod to a folder does it cover all the sub folders by default? [04:51] badkitty: I saw some benchmarks that the x86 is about the same speed [04:51] Ashfire908: I've not used gproftpd. But I agree, that an Xserver has no place on a server. [04:51] anathematic, no. [04:51] whats option in gcc to compile with mingw??? [04:51] squid.. the file i tried to send you has all the info in it [04:51] waterbucket: figured as much... nest stay with what I know works atleast [04:51] let me see if i can find the page [04:52] anathematic, use chmod -R for directories below [04:52] once i get my nick back [04:52] Dr_willis: well i guess that makes sense for my problem, what would be the extra parameter to enable that? [04:52] hmm ok I'll try again: anyone know the path to a different hard drive, named, say, hdb1? [04:52] thanks DShepherd =) [04:52] Ashfire908: Is it a web server? [04:52] usr13, gproftpd is a graphical manager for ProFTPd. === asdf is now known as sFEARs [04:52] usr13, yes [04:52] anathematic, man chmod helps :-) [04:52] usr13, a local one. [04:52] alright [04:52] ! [04:52] woo it works [04:52] !mingw [04:52] Ashfire908: Why not just use gftp on client? [04:53] Ashfire908: Does gproftpd require an X server? [04:53] Ashfire908: Surely not. [04:53] no Ashfire908 i dont belive so [04:53] sFEARs: i think i may have figured it out... though i'd want to run it by you to make sure i'm not screwing something up [04:54] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [04:54] there.. that's the page [04:54] usr13, gproftpd is a gracphical admin for proftpd [04:54] hi all I wonder about razr 2 support for linux. given that the phone is linux based. I guess the support is soso without official support kinda ironic eh? [04:54] right, i've been reading that page ^_^ MasterShrek sent the link [04:54] well.. i only know enuf to break stuff.. but you can run it by me anyway [04:55] usr13, the package shows a very minimal requirement [04:55] nm found it [04:55] it's /media [04:55] whats option to compile with gcc and mingw???? [04:56] usr13, is there like a xorg-xserver that is like small and kinda for what i want to do? [04:56] just because the OS is linux based doesn't mean the company doesn't have proprietary software running on top of it.. at least i don't think so [04:56] thanks dissection. it worked. for the most part anyway. it says 1400 x 900 instead of 1400 x 1050 but i think it still looks the same as it did. its hard to remember.i got used to things being big [04:56] hey will this work for any PC.? i believe my hard drive is labeled sda rather than hd0 ...title Windows XP Edition [04:56] root (hd0,0) [04:56] chainloader+1 [04:56] savedefault/boot (Whichever works for you) [04:56] Ashfire908: I don't know, and have yet to find out, but would imagine that it would not require anything like xorg [04:56] looking for someone on dsl to tell me what pkg i need to setup my pppoe connection..? [04:57] ok then. I ran the grub terminal and then 'find /boot/grub/stage1', and it returned '(hd1,1)'. in my /boot/grub/device.map, i have two listed, hd0 (/dev/sda) and hd1 (/dev/sdb) [04:57] wth is going on [04:57] usr13, ...so any clue what it would need? it's gtk based i think. [04:57] Extravert, netsplit. [04:57] Extravert, server on strike lol [04:57] now, in my menu.lst file, right now it says the default grub root device is groot=(hd0,1) [04:58] (hd1,1) would be sdb2 I belive in yoru case squid808 - hd1,0 would be sdb1 [04:58] do i just change that to =(hd1,1) [04:58] hd0,1 would be the 2nd partition on the first drive. [04:58] Ashfire908: apt-cache search gproftpd === Gnea_ is now known as Gnea [04:58] I'm repartitioning somebodies HD - but idk how to update their fstab file... I knew how to when the drives were referenced to by /dev/* - but now it's these UUID's... how do I work with these? [04:58] squid808, i think you do want to use hd1,1 [04:58] thanks for the help dissection [04:58] make sure you save a copy of your old one squid [04:58] in case it doesn't work [04:58] squid808, you can edit the grub menu/stuff from the grub menu and test them out. :) [04:58] !uuid [04:59] MTecknology, you can still use the old /dev/whatever type entries [04:59] Need help with mingw [04:59] if i change it to hd1,1 and it's wrong, what's the worst that can happen [04:59] MTecknology, UUID is handy in some cases.. has issues in others. :)_ [04:59] Dr_willis: so just change them all to that? [04:59] the worst you say [04:59] squid808, it gives an error message at boot. and you can edit the grub line to try the others [04:59] would anyone be willing to help me set up my apache web server? [04:59] MTecknology, no need to change them all. Unless you want to. [05:00] the worst that can happen.. the absolute value of -x [05:00] well, let's try that then. [05:00] divided by 0 [05:00] MTecknology, you can find the uuid of the drives several ways, ls -l /dev/disk-by/uuid (i think) is one way [05:00] MTecknology, Both ways work [05:00] yup.. that's it.. |-x|/0 [05:00] Ashfire908: apt-get install gproftpd should install it and pick up the list of dependicies [that you just saw in the output of apt-cache showpkg gproftpd] [05:00] erm, i edit the part not in the # comments right [05:00] Dr_willis: I'll try that - thanks [05:00] ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [05:00] :) [05:00] would anyone be willing to help me set up my apache web server? ....sorry to be a nag [05:01] is there a way for a vista computer to connect to the ubuntu computer via remote desktop?

[05:05] i can boot ubuntu [05:05] this may be silly, but before booting i browsed the rest of the menu.lst file, and i noticed that ubuntu and windows had entries with the root listed as (hd0,1), which is where it says groot=(hd0,1). doesn't that mean they're already on the same drive then? or is it just an example because it's in # comments. [05:05] gnea gfx [05:05] Ashfire908: No to what? [05:05] what is pissing me off is the Ati card with twin head. [05:05] Raise your hand if you are new to Linux.

[05:07] tonyduke: atleast ati seems to be better supported than in the past [05:07] Ashfire908: Did you use apt-get to install it? [05:07] squid808, the menu.lst file is a little confusing because SOME of the #comments are settings for the 'update-grub' program. Yes.. comments may be comments for GRUB.. but not for 'update-grub' :) [05:07] how can i make an iso of a disc? [05:07] usr13, no aptitude. [05:07] anybody know about gateways and VPN?

I can manually change it in the /proc/... but gnome applet doesn't allow me to change it, how can i go about making this more convenient? [05:18] Ashfire908: And if sudo gproftpd does not work, you might need to enable the root user account.

[05:21] do you have your bios set to boot from cd rom? [05:21] yes [05:21] systemd0wn, a interesting test would be to see if the KDE equilivent works. [05:21] toot, what is your problem? [05:21] ShadowApex: anything in /proc/asound/cards? [05:21] yes [05:21] Gnea :: I don't think it's that, it's apparently a nvidia bug that's never been fixed, compounded with xv/x11 not liking to cooperate with Compiz' opengl-base [05:21] does it give you a boot menu? [05:21] toot has a 256 ram p3 with barely any disk space and he can't load his livecd [05:21] only two choise [05:21] ?? [05:22] NotSoGutsy: what nvidia card do u have? mine's an older go 440, so it requires legacy [05:22] Gnea: is that a directory..? [05:22] i cannot boot my slackware [05:22] Gnea :: mine's a 6600GT [05:22] ShadowApex: it's a file, cat it [05:22] kerbau_: Using grub? [05:22] Dr_Willis, then i can make the cool graphic appear so i can see in gnome a bar like the volume one. KDE... is that really worth installing? === eno__ is now known as eno [05:22] so, changing grub to hd(1,1) and unplugging the slave drive now gives me a GRUB Hard Disk Error >< [05:22] I need help please. I rebooted yesterday and when I rebooted GRUB frooze at Stage 1.5.... Either how do I fix this? Is one of my drives dead? How can I tell? [05:22] Gnea: yeah: "1 [default ]: USB-Audio - PnP Audio Device" [05:22] squid808: right, it's hd(0,1) now [05:23] systemd0wn, My laptop keys work.. I dont even know where the gnome brightness applet is. :) [05:23] ShadowApex: and u have some sort of usb headphones or something plugged in? [05:23] it said it was hd(0,1) before [05:23] systemd0wn, friend has a laptop that some how randomly decides to use the vga out on boot up. and disables the lcd. :) Could be worse. [05:23] squid808: do you get a grub> prompt? [05:23] how can i add it? [05:23] chmod? :P [05:23] ah i see, i need to add yachi to a group. how can i do that? [05:23] Gnea: No. It's my onboard sound. It's located on the USB bus rather than on the PCI bus like usual [05:23] any help? [05:23] toot [05:23] what are the 2 options [05:23] I can't get the headphone jack to work on my laptop. Please help me with this. Anyone here with a Vaio laptop? [05:24] ShadowApex: never heard of it, what make/model is that?

It's an ASUS M2N-Plus SLI [05:24] hi all. My tty console are badly configured - the fonts are too large as if it is a resolution problem (perhaps because the auto-conf of the graphic card didn't go and I had to do it manually). How do I correct it? [05:24] whats the command again to load .bash_aliases and the like after i've edited them? [05:24] and what happens when you choose normal [05:24] it is about graphic mode [05:25] although, Gnea, if i plug my master cable into where i thought was my slave, everything works peachy [05:25] nothing just a black screen [05:25] Gnea: It's C-Media 6501 I think.. the sound chipset [05:25] mynyml, could use 'source .bash_aliases' or . ./bash_aliases (i think) [05:25] there should be more than 2 options [05:25] and my keyboard freeze [05:25] what livecd are you using? [05:25] hey guys, I'm trying out the vnc facilities and I have set up the system per the instructions at http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/special-how-to-access-a-home-server-behind-a-routerfirewall-127276.php.

I was reading this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoTransferring so I typed sudo apt-get install 'gtkpod-aac'. Thing is apt-get tells me that the package gtkpod will be removed so gtkpod-aac can be installed. Is this correct? gtkpod-aac REPLACES gtk-pod? [05:28] not exactally sure how.. but that would tell you if it's a corrupt burn or not [05:28] toot, ? cd gutsy install problem? or making a cd then reading it? [05:28] s/k-p/kp/; [05:28] kerbau_: Using grub? [05:28] no magical fixes to nvidia bugs ? [05:28] ok i have an ubontu cd ad it is not working too [05:28] also, my lspci lists the video card as having 256MB, when it only has 128MB [05:28] Gnea: any ideas..? [05:28] i think that's a second head saying hello mabey? === yayaya is now known as yaya123 [05:28] kerbau_: What partition is /boot on? === Cpudan80_ is now known as Cpudan80 [05:28] need help! My tty consoles are badly configured - the fonts are too large as if it is a resolution problem (perhaps because the auto-conf of the graphic card didn't go and I had to do it manually). How do I correct it? [05:28] toot, we can help if you explain better [05:29] NotSoGutsy: Upgrade or clean install? [05:29] ZaphodBeeblebrox :: clean [05:29] I have a few problems. 1) There's no audio through the headphone jack. 2) The brightness doesn't reduce when its running on battery, so I get minimal backup time 3) Though the multimedia keys are all recognized in keyboard shortcuts, they still don't do anything 4) In built webcam doesn't work 5) Blu-ray data discs don't get mounted. Can someone help me with anything at all? [05:29] Curley_Sue, have u changed theme recently? [05:29] NotSoGutsy: sprinkle some cinnamon on it?? [05:29] sounds yummy [05:29] NotSoGutsy: Can't help then... I had serious problems with my NVidia, but a clean installatopm solved all of them [05:30] Crozar: what do you mean - I am talking about the tty consoles - no X... [05:30] Could anyone help me with a sound problem I've been having? [05:30] what should i do? [05:30] toot: can you burn another disk? [05:30] ZaphodBeeblebrox :: in the past, that was true, but it seems that Compiz's opengl doesn't like nvidia's 'new' driver on my machine [05:30] easiest is proally burn another disc and see if you get the same error toot [05:30] badkitty_: ah... Cinnamon might not solved it, but will sure make it tastier [05:30] ZaphodBeeblebrox :: also the 'double memory' thing seems to be killing most everything that needs it [05:30] blue screen of death blue screen of death =( [05:30] <~~~ BIG FAN OF TASTY [05:30] NotSoGutsy: tried the legacy driver? [05:30] toot, are you currently using windows or ubuntu ? [05:31] i have two disks one is ubontu and the other is xubontu and both are not working [05:31] ZaphodBeeblebrox :: installed it, but haven't restarted X or anything yet [05:31] Guys. I was reading this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoTransferring so I typed sudo apt-get install 'gtkpod-aac'. Thing is apt-get tells me that the package gtkpod will be removed so gtkpod-aac can be installed. Is this correct? gtkpod-aac REPLACES gtkpod? [05:31] toot runs windows [05:31] windows [05:31] NotSoGutsy: Give it a try then [05:31] toot, what software are you using to burn the CDs? [05:31] nero [05:31] toot: did you md5sum the .iso files? [05:31] toot, 1 question , if we help you will you listen? [05:31] if it's not a bad burn.. i'd guess it's a bios settings issue [05:32] lol crozar [05:32] hhhhhhhhhhh [05:32] make sure it's set to cdrom instead of auto somewhere in there [05:32] Im betting one package of cinnamon its a bad disk [05:32] shore i will lesson [05:32] lol badkitty_ [05:32] secondary drive or primary slave or whatever [05:32] dissection, audo go to audio settings and fix it , if its a bug then the fix is in the forum , brightness ? use Fn key ... and for checking any hardwares recognition type dmesg in terminal [05:32] how can I play SHOCKWAVE within Ubuntu [05:32] toot: Could be that you've made an ISO image of the ISO image in the process of burning the CD. Can you read the files on the CD? [05:32] ? [05:32] toot: did you md5sum the .iso files? [05:33] jsschmid: you can't [05:33] Guys. I was reading this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoTransferring so I typed sudo apt-get install 'gtkpod-aac'. Thing is apt-get tells me that the package gtkpod will be removed so gtkpod-aac can be installed. Is this correct? gtkpod-aac REPLACES gtkpod? [05:33] mneptok: thanks [05:33] i cannot play in the bios without know what to do [05:33] md5sum=? [05:33] Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications? [05:33] toot [05:33] toot: True. If you don't know what to do don't go there [05:33] no [05:33] toot: last chance to answer my question ... [05:33] usr13: It could be that the iso was burned without being mountable [05:33] anyone know what key to press when windows is starting up to see the text output rather than the loading screen? [05:33] toot: When you read the contents of the CD, do you see a single file with extension .iso [05:34] in your bios.. make sure your secondary master is set to cd-rom and not auto [05:34] ok i will check that [05:34] dang. i forgot what i wanted to ask [05:34] guys if you want to help toot please refer to recent questions similar to this , i spent hours with 1 and did all methods in the end the problem wasnt a software problem , it was the cd he had to buy sony cd's imation and some other brand just have problems with some drives its a known issue for worldwide market [05:34] badkitty_: No. If you burn an bootable ISO image to the CD, it will boot. [05:34] sFEARs: Also the boot priority must be CD-ROM followed by Primary HDD, right? [05:35] * mneptok gives up on toot and goes to answer paying customers [05:35] Crozar: Where's the audio settings? And, the function keys don't work.. I can't reduce the brightness [05:35] another question: EKIGA has intermitted sound playback, what can I alter to make it go away. Soundplayback of mp3 is great, Skype too [05:35] Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications? [05:35] * iKernel is away [05:35] I was reading this -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iPodVideoTransferring so I typed sudo apt-get install 'gtkpod-aac'. Thing is apt-get tells me that the package gtkpod will be removed so gtkpod-aac can be installed. Is this correct? gtkpod-aac REPLACES gtkpod? [05:35] iKernel: please do not use public away messages [05:36] correct Zaphod [05:36] mneptok, but I didn't go away ;P [05:36] usr13: I thought there was a setting you had to put in nero to burn it as that type of bootable file. I may have even mis-burned a file like that before [05:36] ShadowApex: shouldnt it be somewhere located in "System -> Preferences -> Sound [05:36] yeah badkitty.. it is a setting to but a bootable iso [05:36] dissection, did you search google? by typing " Fn key dont work " or doesnt work or Fn key help , add ubuntu after each or type linux , i think its by adding a command for the Fn binding , but either way Fnkey must come from bios not system [05:36] iKernel: doesn't change the fact you used a public /away message. please don't. [05:36] setting to burn* [05:36] sFEARs: in ref of boot priority or in ref of gtkpod? :) [05:36] badkitty_: The problem with some of the stupid MS Windows CD burning software is that it makes an ISO image of what ever it burns to a CD, (wheather it's aready an ISO image or not), and that's usually the problem. [05:36] boot prio [05:36] kk [05:37] jsschmid: I changed everything there to the USB Sound device but the problem still persists. Most applications; such as VLC, Flash, etc. will not play anything [05:37] usr13: yah thats probably what the setting does is makes sure it doesn't burn an image of the image [05:37] Can someone please confirm the gtkpod-aac replacing gtkpod? [05:37] ShadowApex: there you should be able change your primary sound device [05:37] toot, from were are you? [05:37] :p [05:37] oh man you went there crozar? [05:37] badkitty_: Yes, that's the problem. [05:38] ! tell me about framebuffer [05:38] hey. i dont seem to have any ttys. anyone know why? or how to debug this? [05:38] maybe some cultural problem [05:38] egypt [05:38] Crozar: few OSes use BIOS keymappings anymore [05:38] Crozar: Linux basically ignores the BIOS [05:38] hmm [05:38] DShepherd: do the f1-f12 keys function normally? [05:38] Crozar, the function keys work. I meant it doesn't reduce the brightness [05:38] ShadowApex: sorry, thats all the ideas I had, just ask your question again and hope for someone else with a better idea, actually I'm also because of a sound problem [05:39] Crozar, yeah I tried google. Nothing I tried works [05:39] does it for windows dissection ? [05:39] jsschmid: lol yeah, thanks anyways though =P [05:39] badkitty_: So the first thing you need to ask someone in this situation is to try and read the CD. If they tell you that it has a single file; filename.iso Then you know what the problem is right there. [05:39] ok, I'll close my eyes, hold Gutsy paws and let it replace gtkpod. If anything goes wrong I'll come back and cry a lot in here *lol* [05:39] Crozar: I have no problem in Windows [05:39] Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications? [05:39] dissection: it may surprise you to learn that Linux is not Windows ;) [05:39] mneptok, my laptop is a 2001 laptop and Fn key works when i start the computer its like using a CRT and lowering brightness [05:39] Curley_Sue, yeah . its weird though... when i try to jump to tty.. nothing is there... its just blank. It almost resembles when your in single user mode but with a GUI [05:39] im wondering if grub is bettter then windows boot loader [05:40] mneptok, yeah I know that [05:40] Crozar: that's not a function of the BIOS, necessarily [05:40] maybe but its still Fn [05:40] mneptok, is grub better then windows loader [05:40] so what hould i do know [05:40] if you have many important files in windows for instance [05:40] usr13: well i believe he was getting a partial install menu [05:41] Curley_Sue, i just googled, it seems I am not alone [05:41] Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications? [05:41] toot, either buy support and let the guy suicide to have your answer or just have patience and try to figure out an explanation method [05:41] toot: explore the CD and tell us what are the contents [05:41] should i try the bios [05:41] badkitty_: Then he needs to test the ISO [05:41] ok [05:41] ok, guys, gotta go. Don't worry, I'll let you know if anything went wrong with the gtkpod thingy *grin* [05:41] bye zaphod [05:41] toot: you should set your bios to boot from cd.. [05:42] EKIGA has INTERMITTANT SOUND playback, any ideas? sound is ok so far... [05:42] i did that [05:42] bye bye, badkitty_. Hmmm note to self: Buy cinnamon [05:42] k [05:42] I need help please. I rebooted yesterday and when I rebooted GRUB frooze at Stage 1.5....Bios sees the drive, see's the serial. I ran some utils, MHDD only saw a few error...Ubuntu Installer CD sees the partitions and such... how do I fix this? Is one of my drives dead? How can I tell? [05:42] haha! [05:42] vh [05:42] m [05:42] mmmmm [05:42] what is toot's hardware? [05:43] u mean the ram? [05:43] p3 256 RAM, tiny HD [05:43] usr13, sure you don't mean root? [05:43] ahhh what the hell [05:43] who knows much about grub> [05:43] no toot [05:43] i will change my name next time [05:43] Crozar, what do you need to know? [05:43] Crozar, I need the same thing :) [05:43] Curley_Sue, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/129910 [05:43] badkitty [05:43] yes?

The CD may be bad or your hardware may be bad, but your name is ok. [05:44] Crozar, ubuntu installer will probably automatically make a boot loader configuration that will enable you to boot windows [05:44] great [05:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [05:44] iKernel, the grub loader better then vista loader? [05:44] knows tuns about grub [05:44] toot did you explore the CD? [05:45] jsschmid: Because that was from when it was booting from USB [05:45] Crozar, kinda. it's more flexibile. and much more easy to configure. [05:45] iKernel, any conflicts? [05:45] jsschmid: Anyway, got it working ok, right? [05:45] Crozar, do you have any antivirus software on your windows? [05:45] is ubiquity the installer? [05:45] usr13: and it mapped the usb drive to the actual hard drive ... got it [05:45] yea [05:45] usr13: yeah, it works great [05:45] iKernel, i just want to know if im good to go installing ubuntu and my vista files and readings will be ok from grub no problems . coz this is my work PC!

When I run the command "alsamixer" I get this error: "alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device" [05:46] jsschmid: Good deal... [05:46] Crozar, because it may detect your changed MBR as an infection and change it back for you, deleting grub and reinstalling NTDL [05:46] iKernel, yes Bit defender [05:46] usr13: thanks again! [05:46] ok the cd has tha folders .disk casper install isolinux pics pool preseed [05:46] jsschmid: np glad to help [05:46] im not sure what antivirus tho :/ [05:46] Crozar no matter whar anyone says you should be backing up any files you dnt recreate from a reinstall [05:46] Crozar, don't know much about bit defender, but as long as it's not microsoft software you should be ok [05:46] Crozar, one thing [05:46] when i try to install eric it installs eric3. How do i install eric4 [05:47] Crozar, it is highly recommended that you defrag your windows partition before resizing it while installing ubuntu [05:47] and these files md5sum README.diskdefines ubuntu wubi-cdboot [05:47] Crozar: best antivirus: dialup. you'll be so annoyed with it you'll never go online.

[05:48] or ALSA is pointed at the wrong interrupt whatever [05:48] bwana_card: how can I change that? [05:48] il do it nextweek [05:48] mneptok, that is it? Just apt-get nvidia-glx? [05:48] ummm.. sound control panel mabey? [05:48] please someone :( [05:48] scyTh3: correct [05:49] md5sum is a text file [05:49] bwana_card: I've done that... didn't work [05:49] scyTh3: *sudo* apt-get nvidia-glx [05:49] mneptok, scyTh3 as much as everyone says you should use distribution provided drivers, I don't reccommend it. but go ahead, try apt-get install nvidia-glx [05:49] bwana_card: when I run certain commands, it sees my sound card [05:49] mneptok, heh, seems to easy..for 2 weeks of trying to get it to work! It will fix the 'lockup'? I will have to reinstall if it happens again :( [05:49] iKernel: nvidia-glx is distro-provided. [05:49] if you check room #ardour you might be able to get some more help with ALSA stuff [05:49] bwana_card: it's a usb [05:49] toot: Run md5sum against the ISO image that you downloaded to see if it matches the one supplied by the server. [05:49] ohhh [05:49] scyTh3, but you will probably have to configure/manage third party drivers to enable it [05:49] mabey you need USB drivers [05:50] scyTh3: wait, all you've been doing is changing xorg.conf to use nvidia? You need to have the driver actually installed first, before you can use it in xorg.conf. [05:50] toot: Exactly what image did you download? [05:50] iKernel: apt-get is the recommended way in Ubuntu, despite your personal preference [05:50] goodn8 folks ... and good luck.... [05:50] xubountu [05:50] pea sout [05:50] Someone please help me fix my brightness keys. I didn't find anything about my laptop's model, in google [05:50] i was messing with desktop effects and now when ever i try to log on with that user all i get is a blank screen with the mouse in it, what is the best way to get a usable desktop back without loosing stuff from that user? [05:50] mneptok: maybe you should have him use Restricted Manager... [05:50] dissectoin [05:50] toot: Do you have md5sum installed on your MS Windows OS? If not get it. [05:50] mneptok, yes but without using sudo [05:50] your brightness keys proally don't have drivers in linux [05:50] Crozar: huh? [05:50] mneptok, the only problem I have with it is that the nvidia module may not match your kernel version, which will give you horrible symbolic errors [05:50] cdm10, No I have installed via sh Nvidia* in other distros...I tried to use the update manager in ububntu and it installed and still locked up. [05:50] gksudo [05:50] toot: So that you can test the ISO image for accuracy. [05:50] no it isnot installed [05:51] hey can anyone tell me what exactly what boot options pci=routeirq and pnpbios=off do? or a site where i can check? [05:51] <`Matir> anyone here have a system76 laptop? i'm just trying to confirm their DVD burners are dual-layer [05:51] iKernel: incorrect [05:51] mneptok, mind you, not many people compile their own kernels [05:51] scyTh3: Update manager doesn't install nvidia, restricted manager does. [05:51] where do i get it from ? [05:51] iKernel: if you use the ubuntu-provided kernel, it'll match up. [05:51] When starting the Ubuntu live CD, I get this error... "Buffer I/O Error on device sda, logical block 8" is my drive toast? [05:51] DShepherd: you can try reconfiguring the tty " sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg " at the end you are asked about how many tty you want. I am not sure whether this is the right way,though... [05:51] cdm10, of course it will [05:51] toot: http://www.irnis.net/gloss/md5sum-windows.shtml [05:51] no Gh0stea [05:52] cdm10, well it was just an update from the top navbar in the ubuntu desktop. It popped up saying I need to install drivers...I installed and rebooted and it froze [05:52] cdm10: the problem with RDM is that if he installed via the nVidia executable blob, it may not update xorg.conf correctly [05:52] someone who speak spanish? [05:52] bwana_card, yes, "probably", but how can I be sure when there's no one on the forum with the same laptop stating a problem? [05:52] scyTh3: oh, ok... [05:52] Curley_Sue, did you read the link i sent you. seems to be a well known bug [05:52] toot: or http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/ [05:52] !es > ruben [05:52] Gh0stee, happens hmmm.... make another cd write at 4 x speed make sure the cd is sony , some cds are weak these days they use cheap labour [05:52] have you tried to play with the boot options on the live cd boot menu [05:52] Curley_Sue, going to try a reconfigure anyways.. brb [05:52] ok [05:52] Does Ubuntu's paid support assist with installing all the hardware? [05:52] ruben, try #ubuntu-es [05:52] mneptok: It looks like the first thing he did was install it from RDM, I don't think he used blob.bin at all. [05:52] yes ok but how can i add a user to a group? [05:52] bwana_card: what is #ardour? Channel specifically for ALSA? [05:52] Crozar, you think it was a burning issue? [05:52] f*** [05:53] cdm10, which brings me to the question again...the sudo apt-get nvidia-glx will work? [05:53] Yachi: it's in Users and Groups... just go to a group and check off the user in that group's list. [05:53] have seen similar problems with bios settings Ghoste [05:53] yes Gh0stee i had 4 cd's thrown away because of this [05:53] mnepto como puedo hacer para desinstalar porque creo que puse mal algunas cosas y no puedo cargar flash, existe alguna forma de pasar a xp? [05:53] toot: Try this: http://www.etree.org/cgi-bin/counter.cgi/software/md5sum.exe [05:53] ok what after downloading [05:53] !es | ruben [05:53] scyTh3: Well, that's basically what RDM did, and that didn't seem to work... there may be some more settings you need to play with, but I'm really not the person to ask. [05:53] donde esta los pantelones [05:53] Is this the right place to ask about shell scripts? [05:53] k thanks [05:53] bwana_card, elaborate please? [05:53] i downloaded it [05:54] Gh0stee, its because i was using imation but the brand is ok but i hope you get this , imation sold many kinds of cd's but 2 kinds the same look didnt work but the original case worked lol its weird hope you understand the cd is a problem also in many cases [05:54] when you boot the live cd you have options 1-6 [05:54] cdm10, thanks for the help. [05:54] what should i do? [05:54] check out option 6... boot options [05:54] ruben: esta es una canal ingles (lo siento para el español terrible) [05:54] you can then type in some boot options.. heads sectors cylinders etc.. [05:54] Gh0stee, dont worrry those cd's worked for music tho :) not for ISO thats a diffrent thing y ou need sony to go for ISO and to test better testing with Sony cd [05:54] vnn [05:54] toot: cd to where the iso file is, (via terminal) and issue command: md5sum filename.iso [05:54] cdm10, just for the record I am using the egeforce 8400gs pcie 256. Kinda a new card. [05:54] Crozar, I guess i'll go burn another. [05:54] mabey it just doesn't auto recognize your drive & needs some help with fat locations blah blah blah [05:54] toot: What image did you download? [05:55] Gh0stee, get sony cd [05:55] DShepherd: I apologise but I have to leave. I haven't read that bug - nxt time! good luck [05:55] Gh0stee, same burning wont work maybe [05:55] bwana_card, Never had issues with these RiData's [05:55] i was messing with desktop effects and now when ever i try to log on with that user all i get is a blank screen with the mouse in it, what is the best way to get a usable desktop back without loosing stuff from that user? [05:55] toot: What is the filename? [05:55] RiData? [05:55] Gh0stee, burn another kind of cd not imation or benq or such brand burn Sony dont be lazy go buy 1 lo [05:55] I tried to unistall ubuntu because I think I have a bad copy of the cd, I cant put flash and other stuffs, is there anyway to go to XP again? [05:55] bwana_card, was that to be? [05:55] is that a brand of disk? [05:55] usr13: cant he drag and drop the image on the file to get the hash? [05:55] I'm using kopete to chat with a Yahoo! Messenger buddy and can't view the webcam. It says that a Yahoo plugin is missing or something. I don't know what I need. [05:55] Xubuntu 7.10 i38 [05:55] yes.. to you.. Gh0ste, about sectors, heads, & cylinders [05:56] ruben: yes, you can go back to XP... but we can also help you set up flash, if you want. [05:56] badkitty_: Possibly, I don't know. [05:56] i am lost i donot understand [05:56] bwana_card, you mean "Other Options"? [05:56] I'm not sure if any1 would know how to solve this but I installed azureus and could run it just fine and then I tried to upgrade to vuze but the upgrader bugged out and now whenever I try to even run azureus, it closes immediately [05:56] that might be it [05:56] ruben, ubuntu runs well it detects everything like vista , but installing it can go with many methods , the simple method or doing the manual way if it doesnt understand running it , type dmesg to see the hardware then go for google for help === Thecks is now known as j0e- [05:56] im setting up RAID1 on my box... should i include SWAP in my RAID? [05:56] yes , if you can help me with flash is it ok [05:56] But I do know how to do it in terminal, (that's the only way I've done it). [05:56] there's a command line at the boot menu [05:56] why is everyone suddenly disconnecting? [05:56] and you can specify hardware settings [05:56] !netsplit | jscinoz [05:56] damn, don't tell me we lost ubotu [05:56] yeah, what do I put? [05:56] and I even tried uninstalling azureus but it still closes every time I run it [05:57] mwazny: I wouldn't use Azureus, it seems to get into these states where you have to delete your config to get it to work [05:57] cdm10: "we lost ubotu" [05:57] *lays a rose on ubotu's coffin* [05:57] Why does Gutsy Gibbon just freeze up? [05:57] mneptok: dammit, i'm all alone without ubotu! [05:57] depends on your disk.. if you look at your hard drive it should have that info on it somewhere [05:57] Hiko96786: That's a pretty general question... [05:57] proally won't make a difference.. but you can try [05:57] hmm out of curiosity, how do you delete your config? [05:57] !help [05:57] mwazny: try going into your home folder, hitting ctrl-h, finding .azureus, and deleting it [05:57] mwazny: sudo apt-get install deluge [05:57] bwana_card, I should note that has a full ubuntu install on it already, I'm justr trying to boot to fix Grub [05:57] i could see how your error might have something to do with those settings [05:57] It is. It used to happen to me in Windows. [05:57] doubtful but possible [05:57] k thx [05:57] mwazny: but I seriously recommend using Deluge, it's in Add/Remove if you want it. It's fast, and doesn't break. [05:57] im setting up RAID1 on my box... should i include SWAP in my RAID? [05:58] I have a few problems. 1) There's no audio through the headphone jack. 2) The brightness doesn't reduce when its running on battery, so I get minimal backup time 3) Though the multimedia keys are all recognized in keyboard shortcuts, they still don't do anything 4) In built webcam doesn't work 5) Blu-ray data discs don't get mounted. Can someone help me with anything at all? [05:58] Hiko96786: When does it happen? [05:58] I can't view my friend's webcam on Kopete. I try to and it says "Webcam for is not available." It says Yahoo plugin - Kopete. What do I need to install to view the webcam? [05:58] shouldn't neeed the live cd to fix grub [05:58] How else can I? [05:58] anyone know the proper command line syntax to load firefox with a specific profile? [05:58] what are you trying to fix? [05:58] well thanks anyway [05:58] gluonman: Depends on what kind of webcam it is. [05:58] bye [05:58] Grub freezes after loading Stage 1.5 [05:58] This last time I booted up, opened text editor and firefox. Typed a little, walked away and it froze. [05:58] dissection, what kind of laptop ? its new but what kind [05:58] ohh yeah.. [05:59] Like I said I am a bit new to ubuntu, I am trying to set the system to go straight to the console on login- not X. I guess the root password is wrong. Is there a default root passwd when first installing the system? [05:59] Crozar, Sony Vaio AR590E [05:59] Hiko96786: Could it be overheating? It sounds like a hardware issue if you had similar issues with XP. [05:59] there's a way to boot into a recovery OS.. [05:59] usr13, it's my friend cam, not mine. I just want to view it. [05:59] dissection, hopefully soon ubuntu is working on the new things, but right now wacom support is preferable [05:59] No. I have not used XP in over 2 years. I went to Linux in 05. [05:59] usr13, in other words, it's not a cam I'm connecting to my computer. [05:59] Hiko96786: Also, on the Ubuntu boot menu, select memtest86 and let that run for a while... see if it finds any memory issues. [05:59] Crozar, wacom? [05:59] Hiko96786: Didn't you just say that you had the same problem in XP? [05:59] wacom stuff like compaq hp [05:59] I ran it when installed ok. [05:59] scyTh3: there is no root password. use sudo. [06:00] ibm [06:00] But I can do it again, I suppose. [06:00] okay. [06:00] mneptok, ok. [06:00] No, I said" [06:00] Hiko96786: alright... also see if it could be overheating. [06:00] It is. It used to happen to me in Windows. [06:00] " that. [06:00] What about my multimedia keys? They are detected correctly in keyboard shortcuts, and yet they don't do anything [06:00] dissection.. just becasue it recognizes that the keys are there doesn't mean it knows what to do when they're pressed [06:01] bwana_card, I mean its detected when I press it [06:01] usr13, but if it still matters what kind of cam it is, it's Creative PC Cam 880. [06:01] how do you know? [06:01] what does it do? [06:01] Ok I will check that. [06:01] I just installed the latest updates and I lost the sound on my toshiba laptop [06:01] It is about 3 years old. [06:01] My computer [06:01] Bonjour [06:01] Thank you cdm10 [06:01] hello fred === j0e- is now known as Thecks [06:02] dissection, i have a keyboard Minoto i dont know what that brand is but the keys like www and home and sound up and down works even sleep and mute [06:02] hello bwana [06:02] Hiko96786: sorry I couldn't help you with more specific advice [06:02] The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. [06:02] You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu. [06:02] nice [06:02] No worries. I appreciate that you took the time. [06:02] french speacking ? [06:02] bwana_card, like, if I go there to set a new shortcut for Play/Pause, and I press the button, it says "XF86AudioPause", and likewise, for all other keys. [06:02] thank u all all for the help [06:02] you need drivers [06:02] Linux is friendly. [06:02] :) [06:03] usr13, are you still there? [06:03] fred: pour IRC en Francais, /join #ubuntu-fr ou #ubuntu-qc, STP [06:03] I was just listening to something a little while ago, I installed updates that I didn't really look at. Now I have no sound [06:03] Hiko96786: Oh, I wouldn't be so sure... we tend to be one of the friendlier Linux channels. [06:03] after rebooting [06:03] Whoever it was with the firefox question: firefox -ProfileManager [06:03] and rebooting again [06:03] well x86 is a processor type [06:03] Hi... my kvm crashes each time I try to boot into an .iso of windows xp, giving an aborted : core dumped almost immediately. I've got an Intel Core2Duo E6600 running Ubuntu Gutsy.. is there something I am missing? [06:03] gluonman: Yes [06:03] don't know if that has anything to do with xf86 [06:03] is there a place i can get a torrent version of 7.10 alt? [06:03] bwana_card: xf86 is an X server that's not used in Ubuntu [06:03] fridgid: every mirror has it [06:04] Where can I change the default runlevel So ubuntu will go to console and not X so I can just issue a startx to test my xorg.conf [06:04] fridgid: yeah, look at the alternate download locations at the bottom of every mirror page [06:04] cdm10 You are right. Hey, there are rude people everywhere. But so far, it is nothing that being polite can't overcome. [06:04] ty mneptok and cdm10 [06:04] think that has anything to do with his problem [06:04] I am running an older kernel b/c the ACPI wasn't working out in the newer ones (I think I am running edgy) [06:04] scyTh3: just boot in recovery mode from grub [06:04] scyTh3: just use another virtual console? [06:04] cdm10, so that means those keys wont work in Ubuntu [06:04] usr13, do you know what plugin(s) I need to support the viewing of the webcam through Kopete? It worked fine before, but I think something is missing from when I used sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get autoclean yesterday. [06:04] cdm10, so that means those keys wont work in Ubuntu [06:04] it's sending a command to something that's not used anymore [06:04] argh! netsplit [06:04] dissection: not really, they could still work with software to handle them. [06:05] software = drivers [06:05] gluonman: Sorry, I don't know. [06:05] Ok, I will try, thanks again. If I don't show up again soon...It means I am reinstalling ubuntu :( [06:05] pretty much... === bwana_card is now known as sFEARs [06:05] My laptop loves Ubuntu. [06:05] We still don't have the bot [06:05] usr13, okay. [06:05] Hiko96786: Sure doesn't sound like it from your problem :) [06:05] Mhm [06:05] That's my desktop cdm10. [06:05] gotta turn in for the night. Been fun... .. [06:05] I seem to have lost my permissions. I tried to sudo users-admin and I get "You are not allowed to access the system configuration." why? [06:05] All my computers run Linux. [06:05] Hiko96786: oh, ok :) [06:05] my laptop loved ubuntu for a bout a year until a couple of minutes ago === {} is now known as Thecks [06:05] i was messing with desktop effects and now when ever i try to log on with that user all i get is a blank screen with the mouse in it, what is the best way to get a usable desktop back without loosing stuff from that user? [06:06] scyTh3: sudo telinit 1 (i think, maybe 2) swutches to the single user moe. But you are better off booting into the reocovery mode [06:06] :) [06:06] Does Ubuntu's paid support assist with installing the drivers I need? [06:06] is there a way to disable desktop effects from the terminal? [06:06] dissection: what drivers? === sdlkfj is now known as rgv [06:06] Anyone here listen to Linux Reality? [06:06] dwf_starband, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop? [06:06] i doubt it dissection [06:06] biouser: This may sound stupid, but have you checked all the volume controls? Also, it's possible that they'll fix it in a later update. [06:06] or the Linux Link Tech Show? [06:06] How can you tell if a HDD is dead or not? [06:06] cdm10, or usr13 theyr should be some1 here who controls the questions and take them and write it into a table of basis for issues and give it to the community so then they can avoid such problems by updating ubuntu rather then the slow phrase by bug sites and forum , people must organize these by forums and have a room monthly update , anything new only , old will be updated with a smart forum trick to recognize on how to extend the problem [06:06] and fix it... === rgv is now known as rafaelgv [06:06] you need support from your computer manufacturer.. and they proally don't support linux [06:06] Gh0stee: Does it have a pulse? [06:06] Gh0stee: I'm really not sure, I would think it's obvious. [06:07] I can't view my buddy's webcam on Kopete! Error message saying: "Webcam for is not available" - and the heading is "Yahoo plugin - Kopete". What am I missing? [06:07] mneptok: I don't know. Whatever I need to get my brightness keys, headphone jack, multimedia keys, etc to work. [06:07] cdm10, yes, the volume is up, the panel icon is cross out and says: The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. [06:07] You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu. [06:07] Well the brightness key's the most important of all [06:07] dissection [06:07] is there anyway I can see what I just installed? [06:07] biouser: have you rebooted yet? [06:07] dissection: we'll try to help, but can make no guarantees as we do not control the hardware. [06:07] cdm10, twice [06:07] ubuntu-desktop is already the newest version. [06:07] biouser: i'm not sure if it keeps an update log [06:07] dwf_starband, describe that again? [06:07] your best way to get them to work is hire a programmer to write you a driver for your keyboard [06:07] dissection: it's not officially supported, but we'd make a best effort. [06:08] that's what you need to search for [06:08] devilsadvocate, thanks [06:08] biouser: run this command: cat /dev/urandom /dev/dsp === psyphen_ is now known as psyphen [06:08] cdm10, it worked until the first reboot [06:08] biouser: eck, taht's wrong [06:08] your not really gonna get any help in a chat room [06:08] You want to disable desktop effects at the command line? [06:08] biouser: cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [06:08] sFEARs: says you [06:08] ;) [06:08] point noted [06:08] i believe the community will rise radically strong i hope the people appreciate and try to help it by working on such , similar to car constraction has an assembly line we need this here lets extend the assembly from our part by sending the relevant information [06:08] ? [06:08] I was messing around with the desktop effects in gutsy and now when i log in with that user all i get are a blank brown screen a blank black screen and a mouse which changes to an X when in the black screen [06:08] cdm10, permission denied even with sudo [06:08] mneptok, yeah I understand that. So what do I do exactly? [06:09] I have no idea if that is in xorg.conf or not. [06:09] that's funny, never seen that [06:09] follow the carrot donkey [06:09] has anyone heard that the update manager upgrade to 7.10 idiotically grub-updates /dev/[hs]da1 instead of /dev/[hs]da ? [06:09] biouser: do this: sudo -i [06:09] dissection: to purchase a support contract? [06:09] biouser: then run cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp (no sudo) [06:09] mneptok, no, to get my brightness keys to work [06:09] cdm10, no space left on device [06:09] biouser; I'm getting permission denied with sudo too. Any ideas [06:10] dissection: what model keyboard? [06:10] biouser: it's a driver problem then... [06:10] cat: write error: No space left on device [06:10] I can't view my buddy's webcam on Kopete! Error message saying: "Webcam for is not available" - and the heading is "Yahoo plugin - Kopete". What am I missing?

[06:10] Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications? [06:10] E: Invalid operation nvidia-glx [06:10] :( [06:10] i think he means your typewriter keyboard [06:10] biouser: did you get that? [06:10] dissection: specificity *really* helps [06:10] mneptok, AR590E [06:10] biouser: or your /dev/dsp has the wrong device type [06:10] scyTh3: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx, not sudo apt-get nvidia-glx [06:11] sudo aptitude show linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | grep State [06:11] dissection: enter the values in the file [06:11] heh, thanks [06:11] biouser: yup [06:11] Sounds like tvwm or another windows manager is kicking in. [06:11] State: installed [06:11] Hi, can anyone help me with sound on Gutsy [06:11] biouser: ok, i'm out of ideas... [06:11] mneptok, Which file, what values? [06:11] I am using Dell 1520 laptop [06:11] sknh: did an update break it? [06:11] dwf_starband, does it automatically go to X? [06:11] dissection: what make of laptop? [06:11] I have tried sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-generic [06:11] this is an old P4 Toshiba Satellite [06:11] but it didn't work [06:11] mneptok, Sony Vaio AR590E [06:11] what do you mean? automaticly? [06:12] You get a GUI when you boot? [06:12] ahh.. there might be some hope for you yet [06:12] biouser: what does (ls -l /dev/dsp) say? [06:12] Could someone help me with a sound problem? My onboard sound is located on the USB bus, so Ubuntu sees it as a USB Sound Device. Is there any way I can make it the primary sound card so sound will play through all my applications? [06:12] AKA a login and password screen? [06:12] nice laptop [06:12] Then I cons, et al [06:12] ShadowApex: I believe you can set your primary sound device in System>Preferences>Sound [06:12] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10350592 2007-11-08 01:09 /dev/dsp [06:12] it automaticly goes when i reboot, but i havent turned the computer off yet, just loged off and on [06:12] mneptok, on the forum, some people use the sonypi driver, some use the sony-laptop driver.. I never saw any discussions about the model I have, so I don't know which one to install [06:13] biouser: that first dash on the line should be a "c" [06:13] cdm10: I did that but it will only play through a few applications; e.g. amarok but not flash or vlc [06:13] dwf_starband, ok reboot. [06:13] cdm10, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx seems to be complete. I reboot and see if It works? Or I need to set up the xorg.conf? [06:13] bovoid, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10350592 2007-11-08 01:09 /dev/dsp [06:13] biouser; Same problem, I get [06:13] ok, ill be back, thanks [06:13] Tell me if you can login to Gnome or not [06:13] scyTh3: you need to set xorg.conf to use nvidia [06:13] how can I change the Icon for Network manager up the top to a new one [06:13] scyTh3: if that doesn't work, try removing nvidia-glx and installing nvidia-glx-new [06:13] biouser; Same problem, I get (users-admin:8152): Liboobs-WARNING; followed by some other stuff [06:13] scyTh3: i just thought of that, it's possible that that's the case [06:13] cdm10, ok. [06:14] scyTh3: Have you tried using Envy? [06:14] ShadowApex: He hasn't, and he won't. [06:14] biouser , Pogonip_ : it should be something like crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 3 2007-11-07 20:53 /dev/dsp [06:14] ShadowApx, no. Is that just debian/ubuntu specific? [06:14] bovoid, maybe it will be okay in a while with a few reboots, this laptop is pretty solid, but known for anomalies [06:14] bovoid, how can I change it? [06:14] scyTh3: it's a script that installs the nvidia drivers... but you don't need that. [06:14] scyTh3: oh yeah, I'm sorry, you're using a different distro? [06:14] I can't view my buddy's webcam on Kopete! Error message saying: "Webcam for is not available" - and the heading is "Yahoo plugin - Kopete". What am I missing? [06:15] so how does one change one's /dev/dsp back to a character device when it's become a file??? [06:15] Hello, can anyone help me out with the sound problem? [06:15] scyTh3: you could try it if all else fails, but it has a tendency to break stuff because the driver ends up less integrated with the package management system than the normal way of doing it. [06:15] What kind sknh? [06:15] bovoid, I give up, how? [06:15] no sound on my dell 1520 laptop [06:15] bertrf01, They are in /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/status/ [06:15] How about this... Does this mean my drive is dead? [06:15] ata1.00: tag 0 cmd 0x25 Emask 0x9 stat 0x51 err 0x40 (media error) [06:15] ata1: EH complete [06:15] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 [06:15] ata1.00: (BMDMA stat 0x60) [06:15] biouser: I am not sure, I think you have to run mknod but hold on [06:15] What distro? [06:16] bovoid; Let me understand, if I type sudo -i I should get crw-rw----....? [06:16] It used to work on Fiesty but I upgraded to Gutsy and it stopped working [06:16] sknh, is this a new problem? [06:16] scyTh3: Yeah, sometimes it works flawlessly, sometimes it breaks your xorg, lol [06:16] dissection: looks like those keys require special ACPI kernel modules [06:16] Upgraded? [06:16] sknh, I just took an update and my sound went byebye [06:16] bovoid, What do you mean "become a file" ? [06:16] yes upgraded to Gutsy from Fiesty [06:16] scyTh3: I'd say for the most part though, Envy works fairly well [06:16] ShadowApex, I can not break my system more then I have...I am on number 8 install... [06:16] Pogonip_: yes [06:16] Jordan_U_ if I overwrite them will it change [06:16] Ok. [06:16] sknh, how did you upgrade? [06:17] scyTh3: lol, well it's certainly an option for you [06:17] Is alsa being loaded on boot up? [06:17] Upgrade Manager [06:17] bertrf01, I believe so, you will probably need to restart nm-applet though
