[00:03] punkle: a more detailed descripton can be found here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [00:03] anyone know where I can reset my keyboard setting? seems like in gnome my keyboard is set to English but in xterm it set to French [00:03] detectiveinspekt: don't worry, ntfs-3g is included in the repositories [00:04] yeah i have done that [00:04] disinterested, good luck getting answer on that [00:04] anybody: in GRUB, does /dev/sda6 = (hd0,5) if sda is the first hard drive?

[00:05] soundray that is setup properly in gui but when i'm not gui mode.. like in regular term.. it using wrong keyboard layout [00:06] If I want to use Video4Linux for my webcam do I have to unload the SPCA5XX driver first? [00:06] ZzRicezZ: ?? you said xterm [00:06] I'm at a meeting right now seeing somebody from the SFLC speak [00:07] at google [00:07] the link has been removed [00:07] soryr [00:07] disinterested, oh I thought you were going to say about burn speed [00:07] do I need to use Schedule Direct or a similar service to view cable tv through mythtv or other software? [00:07] sorry [00:07] johnsmith2: no. spca5xx is a hardware driver that interfaces with v4l [00:07] or can I view different channels without having this service [00:07] punkle: no probs. if the video and sound do not sync, try vlc [00:07] soundray hmm sorry new to linux but xterm as in non-gui interface like i haven't even startx yet [00:07] sweet i will give vlc a go [00:07] thank you [00:07] no, they just dont work and apparently brasero needs gstreamer-0.10 and thats not found [00:07] soundray, so how do I know if my camera is working through V4L? I'm trying to get it to work with zoneminder [00:08] soundray i know for gui i edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and that fix it for me [00:08] but in non-gui where do i edit [00:08] I've ran "sudo zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v" and it shows up there [00:09] ZzRicezZ: did you restarted your X already? [00:09] anyone else using totem with xine frontend? [00:09] athem, not right now but I did in the past, what is your issue ? [00:09] should I be able to view cable television using mythtv-frontend if I have a compatible tv tuner [00:09] hey guyz,, [00:09] and cable [00:10] yigal, you might want to look for a myth-tv channel or check in the forum [00:10] johnsmith2: /dev/video0 is a v4l device. If you get a signal from the camera via this device, it means that it's working. The problem must therefore be on the zoneminder side. [00:11] cjae: i'm considering to just fall back to feisty or edgy [00:11] Pelo, I just installed it instead of the default gstreamer based totem and it cant play anything atm, it just tells me I "need to install support for format xy" [00:11] in grub, sdc would = hd2 ... right? [00:11] hey guyz need help please? I'm running gutsy, latest updates, have USB speakers which do not play back any sound ? [00:11] what's the name of the linux utility that allows one to probe the mobo for temps and such? [00:11] comicinker no.. cause i want to edit some file in console mode but I can't since my keyboard doesn't even have the "/ [00:11] key [00:11] hello friends [00:11] Yes I am receiving signal through motv, ekiga on that device, thanks soundray, I'll just look at zoneminder then [00:11] athem, also install xine, might resolve some codex issues [00:11] krisbo9000: that sounds right [00:11] great, i think ive worked it out [00:12] thanks everybuddy [00:12] Pelo, I searched the internet about the problem and I think I am missing the xine-lib? [00:12] ZzRicezZ: then find it by trying out [00:12] any suggestion where I can edit my keyboard setting in console? [00:12] comicinker when i get into X everything is fine [00:12] athem, should have been added when you installed totem-xine but look in synaptic anyway < [00:12] do yo respect who use Windows XP, johnsmith2 Pelo Pici krisbo9000 athem comicinker ZzRicezZ ? [00:13] but I want to be able to edit and use my keybaord in console mode as well.. [00:13] HomerSimpsom: 1) yes, 2) offtopic 3) please don't hilight peoples names like that. [00:13] HomerSimpsom, we are nice ppl here we don't laugh at the misfortunes of others [00:13] ZzRicezZ: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup' [00:13] why is ubuntu autmagically turning up my brightness? [00:13] Pelo, what is the name of the package in synaptic? [00:14] i put it at half to save battery [00:14] and when i turn away it goes back up [00:14] automagically, lololol [00:14] any ideas plz ?] [00:14] Does anyone know if I can do a clean Windows install on a new partition, then copy the files into the .wine directory (into their correct dirs) and be able to run programs better in Wine? [00:14] athem, just do a search for xine it will be listed [00:14] ZzRicezZ: sorry no idea [00:14] cameronw, unlikely, but try asking in #winehq [00:14] Pelo, I did already but there are several packages with xine in their name [00:15] Pelo i feel misfortunated when i use linux... i cant install the two best chess sites clients of world,the 3 best pokers clients of world... etc etc etc [00:15] cameronw: You wouldn't have the necessary registry entries [00:15] athem, you are looking for one with both xine and lib [00:15] ask yourself--would that work on a windows to windows copy? [00:15] Oh and copy the registry [00:15] not even a C decent compiler, Pelo [00:15] recoded first [00:15] cameronw: try the wine configuration tool in your applications->wine menu [00:15] HomerSimpsom: you don't have to use Linux [00:16] Would redirecting the wine dir work? to the Windows dir? [00:16] cameronw: you probably want to tell the configuration program you want to use those files, instead of trying to manually copy everything yourslef. [00:16] why do u use then, comicinker? [00:16] HomerSimpsom, you are welcome to use which ever os you prefer, it is your choice , but ppl in this channel have either a preference ubuntu flavored linux or they have a use for it [00:16] is there a GUI program for adding sqlite databases? I cant seem to figure out the command line version of it [00:16] HomerSimpsom: because I don't need windows at home [00:16] Pelo, comicinker: please don't feed... [00:16] cameronw: it would probably, most likely, hose your windows installation and make it unstable or not able to boot [00:16] Ubuntupwns, try looking in synaptic [00:16] and probably would not give you any advantages [00:16] does anyone know why when i turn my brightness down, it automatically goes back up? [00:16] Yea i thought of that. [00:16] ok [00:16] Pelo, libxine1 the right one? though this one is installed already according to synaptic [00:17] especially if it overwrote stuff === wIRC-Newbie is now known as Wisteso === wirechief is now known as wirechief1 [00:17] * unwiredbrain says "hi" to the whole chan. [00:17] I better not try [00:17] thanks soundray gotta reboot to try [00:17] Hi to everyone [00:17] athem, sounds about right, try reinstalling , but give me a minute and I'll check on my side [00:17] Yes, and it would get confused too. [00:17] comicinker Pelo what i feel is that many people use Linux only bcoz its moda between the nerds [00:17] ZzRicezZ: yw [00:17] cameronw: not unless you're willing to re-install everything there from scratch ;) [00:17] Pelo, that'd be cool, thanks a alot [00:17] I've got some inconsistencies with md5sums [00:17] cameronw: your best bet is always to run through the installation so the WINE registry is configured appropriately [00:17] md5sum* [00:18] I would use a seperate new partition with clean install [00:18] besides, if the installation fails, there's a pretty good bet the program wouldn't run anyway [00:18] applications->wine->"configure wine" [00:18] i'm having problems conncecting to a windows pc (using gutsy) in my lan with samba that i didn't have in feisty. is there anything i can do? [00:18] comicinker Pelo what i feel is that many people use Linux only bcoz its moda between the nerds [00:18] noelferreira: explain [00:18] is there any way i can eject the cd while running live ubuntu? i have only one dvd drive and i need it to write something but linux doesn't le me open it [00:19] !ops | HomerSimpsom [00:19] HomerSimpsom: Help!

[00:21] soundray by any chance u know xfce as well? :) I deleted the top panel by mistake and don't know how to get it back [00:21] Lol. yea i dont like windows, i was just interested in trying to get it to run both type of programs. [00:21] i would install ubuntu on usb stick, but it's still not enough, is there any way i can install ubuntu with less than 2 gb? [00:21] athem, I suggest you install all the libxine pakcage that's all I can suggest, I don't realy recall why I stopped using totem-xine, might have been a quesiton of codex but I don'T think so [00:22] the actual size on the stick is somewhere around 1,7 gig [00:22] Hey, my HP DV 2000 runs 7.04, and when I hook up the VGA port to my TV, nothing happens, what should I do?: [00:22] WINE is your best bet. If something doesn't work, either file a report with winehq.org and/or just keep trying as new versions come out.

You'll lose all your other customizations, though [00:22] sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin complains that the package is only referred to by another package... how do I get the java plugin for firefox?

[00:23] eric__, check out automatix [00:23] eric: install the ubuntu restricted extras [00:23] another solution to my problem would be to burn the image i need to burn unto the memory stick [00:23] BlueRider: might be happier with a knoppix disk [00:23] Pelo, problem I have is that gstreamer gives me some choppy playback on some formats while they do work flawlessly under KDE using Kaffeine and the xine backend. but i prefer gnome ;) [00:23] soundray will try [00:23] but i can't do that [00:23] can i?

See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » [00:24] does anyone know why when i turn my brightness down, it automatically goes back up? [00:24] I'm curious if there is a good gui for adminitering apache2, dns, ftp and mail servers [00:24] * smartface hides and runs [00:24] Coastsid1: ghttpd [00:24] * smartface is still wondering how to output to his tv :( [00:24] Pici, so how *do* I get the java plugin for firefox [00:24] athem, install all the gstreamer packages in the repos then, but I can't make any promisses, some formats just play better on other player, I have totem, xine, mplayer installed, just in case I need them, I didn't install vlc this time around , I didn't use it often enought [00:24] coastsid1: I'd suggest learning how to manage them - it will pay off in the long run [00:25] eric__: install sun-java6-plugin [00:25] I did the "install this plugin" with firefox and it installed icedtea-java7-jre however java still does not work in firefox [00:25] Coastsid1: http://85.214.17.244/gadmintools/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=45&Itemid=36 [00:25] Pici, it says the package does not exist but is referred to by another package... [00:25] smartface: check out the MythTV project. You'll find loads of information on how to get your computer and television playing well together [00:25] eric__: What version of Ubuntu [00:25] Pici, gutsy. I am not sure why I am having so many problems on the latest release =\ [00:25] eric__, that icedtea thing says java7, you can only get up to java6 in linux I beleive, [00:25] Pelo: this is the error message totem gives me when trying to open any file so far: "Video codec 'xxyy' is not handled. You might need to install additionale plugins to be able to play some types of movies [00:26] smartface: you might /join #mythtv-users and ask [00:26] Pelo, that doesn't answer anything, though [00:26] I would love to take time to jump into linux with both feet, but unfortunately I'm self employed and work keeps me buried with all the PC work fixing microsoft issues... thus the reason I went for ubuntu, to ease into it. [00:26] athem, try looking up the error msg in the forum, www.ubuntuforums.org [00:26] thanks pike_ [00:26] pike_: thanks for the link -- a good one (toram) [00:26] eric__: That package is in the multiverse repo, you need to have that enabled. [00:26] Pelo: ok, will do. thx [00:26] eric__, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [00:26] Pici, thought I did... hmmm [00:26] Coastsid1: Ubuntu is a great beginner Linux OS [00:27] eric: 1) Applications > Add/Remove 2) Make sure the Show section at the top says "All available applications" 3) Search for "flash" 4) Select "Ubuntu restricted extras 5) Click Apply Changes [00:27] coastsid1 at least with regards to apache2, it really isn't that hard, read some documentation, and a couple of howto's and you should be well on your way :) [00:27] Coastsid1: http://85.214.17.244/gadmintools/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=45&Itemid=36 [00:27] that will get you Java and all sorts of goodies [00:27] does anyone know if the new ati driver that came via updates has AIGLX support? [00:27] Pici, I do have multiverse enabled [00:27] Whenever I select System->Quit it hangs for a good 60 seconds, any reason why this might be? [00:27] hmm I deleted the icon system preferences/administration in my task bar, any idea what that is called I want to re-add that [00:28] can't get sound through firefox..any ideas? [00:29] spl0it, what icon is this exactly ? the ubuntu logo to the left of the applicatsion / places / system menues ? [00:29] bwg: What sound card and are you sure your sound isn't muted? [00:29] got an hda intel [00:29] pelo: nm I found it - I just got confused... [00:29] sound works everywhere else [00:30] eric__: hmm [00:30] Whenever I select System->Quit it hangs for a good 60 seconds, any reason why this might be? [00:30] bwg: What specifically doesn't have sound? What kinds of web apps? [00:30] Pici, I am also having weird problems with getting things like urbanterror and google earth to run [00:30] Clinton__, shutting down active process [00:30] Pici, I am missing libraries for some reason [00:30] anyone here that can help me with two configuring two monitors on slackware [00:30] Pelo: it hangs before it brings up the dialog to do anything at all [00:30] eric__: Is this an upgrade or fresh install? [00:31] Pici, fresh install [00:31] Natas -- wasn't that the bad guy in an old Turbografx 16 game? [00:31] yea [00:31] and the hard core skater [00:31] hi [00:31] honest question: am I the only one who thinks OpenArena is a joke? :P [00:31] Clinton__, check to make sure that some prog isn't still trying to start [00:31] Not up on my skaters. Only really know two or three [00:31] NATAS: there is a very active slackware channel [00:31] I am installting Windows with QEMU for my Ubuntu [00:31] Pelo: how can I do that? [00:31] eric__: What architecture? [00:31] Pici, and for some reason I keep getting the messages saying the packages are not in the repository but referred to by something else [00:31] can I use the same ip number with my Ubuntu for my Windows? [00:31] Pici, AMD64 [00:32] pike_ where? [00:32] eric__: Ah... That can be an issue. [00:32] Pici, something is wrong with my source list... [00:32] offsec? [00:32] DownhillGames: No, I happen to like it. Although I had to download version .7 to really like it [00:32] how to i allow ftp access to /var/www/ for me to upload stuff to apache? I have ftp up and running, but I get 550 permission denied? [00:32] eko_hermiyanto, are you dual-booted? [00:32] NATAS: /join #slackware [00:32] Clinton__, check in menu > system > prefs > sessions, see if all the progs there are stuff you can identify and want started ( go easy some of this stuf is default) [00:32] Hi, since I've installed the nvidia restricted drivers update, I'm having this anoying startup logo/screen from Nvidia, how do I turn this off? [00:32] akincer, isn't the one in the repos the most current? [00:32] Pelo: k [00:32] wow yea here we go [00:32] DownhillGames, no [00:32] I haven't looked. [00:32] I don't think so. It is .6 [00:32] eric__: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ? [00:32] ooooo [00:32] DownhillGames, I am using windows in qemu in ubuntu [00:32] g2g, later folks [00:32] Download 0.70 and then get the 0.71 patch [00:32] eko_hermiyanto, 2 computers cannot have the same IP address on the same subnet. [00:33] virtual or not [00:33] Pelo: what exactly am I looking for? This hang can happen whether I try 5 minutes or 5 hours after I login [00:33] yes, it's virtualization using qemu [00:33] Ubuntu -> QEMU -> Windows [00:33] that wasn't a question... [00:33] it doesn't matter if it's virtual or not, 2 NICs cannot have the same IP on the same subnet [00:33] DownhillGames: also make sure to do a /cl_allowdownloads 1 so you can get all the bizarre maps the servers are running that don't come with it [00:33] how do I disable hdd? (I don't want to ever use it - I don't really want to disable it in bios tho - I dual boot) [00:33] Pici, hang on, lemme try something [00:33] DownhillGames, ohhh ic, so I will use different ip then [00:34] akincer, I'll check it out but it was pretty meh [00:34] Hi, since I've installed the nvidia restricted drivers update, I'm having this anoying startup logo/screen from Nvidia, how do I turn this off? [00:34] eko_hermiyanto, good call :) [00:34] Downhill: You also need to find a good server. Beer Garden usually has good competition. I play there regularly [00:34] Pici, I took the one from http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy [00:34] spl0it: you just want to not automatically mount it? remove it from /etc/fstab [00:34] DownhillGames, actually, I am still in the process of installing windows for my QEMU [00:34] Nejko, gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the device nvidia section add Option "Nologo" "on" [00:34] Thanks. [00:34] eko_hermiyanto, word [00:34] Pici, i miss you [00:34] hello [00:34] Pici, but I am getting messages like error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [00:35] Pici, and I am entirely confused [00:35] pici: I guess... not 100% sure what I want to do, but if I start k3b right now it will just lock my system up trying to access hdd... [00:35] Nejko, google in case I f'ed up the exact spelling or something on that.. but yeah [00:35] Pici, my cd r /rw problem was not a bug it was my lens it needed cleaning lol [00:35] okay, once in a while when I try to get a game to run and the computer freaks out and crashes the game, ubuntu seems to like going into this weird display mode where all everything becomes huge. Mind you the desktop has the same proportions, it's just that everything is huge. Any ideas? [00:35] Pici, even a slight problem can be a 2month of trouble [00:35] is everyone on bitchx or using wine with mirc [00:35] Crozar: ... [00:35] nautilus-gksu = da bomb [00:35] NATAS, xchat [00:35] not xchat-gnome, just xchat [00:35] Pici, i cant find a paltalk program for ubuntu :( [00:36] Crozar, lots of people are asking for that... dang [00:36] NATAS: irssi mostly or xchat or pidgin maybe [00:36] Pici, what is going on with my computer :( Feisty was way more stable than this [00:36] I've never been able to see the quality on paltalk to know if I wanna use it or not [00:36] pike_ will those work on slackware as well [00:36] DownhillGames, the gaim plugins are not available , all sites have the file not found [00:37] ouch [00:37] and it's Pidgin now :P === Greebo||Away is now known as HeadGreebo [00:37] DownhillGames, yes i know , and im the kind of guy who dont do gaming :p [00:37] NATAS: yeah irssi is very easy to install its like bitchx but good. xchat is well a gtk app [00:37] eric__: I'm not sure whats going on then. [00:37] what does that.. have to do with... anything... ? :P [00:37] DownhillGames, chat , paltalk , surf , type assignments while a cool breeze of snow on the screen for more inspiration in my essays [00:37] Pici, =\ [00:37] eric__: You used AMD64 in feisty as well?

I have ftp up and running, but I get 550 permission denied? [00:38] Pici, but I didn't think there would be that much problem switching to 64 bit... and in fact I asked #ubuntu and I was confirmed that [00:38] i am farly new to running slack and linux i am trained well in eploits and have a basic cmd mind set. i still need help runing proggies on them though [00:39] its a setting to change in xorg.conf [00:39] pike_ feel up for a run down on a install [00:39] Pelo: I got it working, the missing packages where libxine1-gnome and libxine1-ffmpeg. somehow those aren't installed on default.. [00:39] Pici, I don't feel that has much to do with missing repositories though [00:39] DownhillGames xorg-driver-fglrx 7.1.0-8.37.6+2.6.22.4-14.10 [00:39] dredhammer, no AIGLX in that one.

[00:40] after ./configure, it just said do "make depend && make" [00:40] nothing on make install [00:41] Pici, it isn't like I have 64-bit specific repositories [00:41] on=about [00:41] Pici, I don't understand why the packages would not show up [00:41] anybody can help-me for this?

[00:43] okay, once in a while when I try to get a game to run and the computer freaks out and crashes the game, ubuntu seems to like going into this weird display mode where all everything becomes huge. Mind you the desktop has the same proportions, it's just that everything is huge. Any ideas? [00:43] !usage [00:43] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [00:43] Bax, it sounds like the game you're trying to run has a lower resolution than your desktop, and when it crashes, it's not restoring the desktop size [00:44] no, zonum i'm not having a problem with python [00:44] pici: hdd is already commented out in fstab... suggestions? disable in bios? :/ [00:44] sorry i am not registered yet so i could not send a PM [00:44] Bax, i don't know how to fix it :x [00:44] hi all, I got a intel core 2 duo processor, what ubuntu image should I download?

[00:45] asoundconf list shows no devices, where can I go from here to get my sound working? [00:45] pici no its not, but as soon as I try and start k3b it hangs my machine trying to access it [00:45] ceil420, well it's a place to start [00:45] slt [00:45] vxworks: you can use either 386 or amd64, it should require less work to get working on the 386 version, though Im not for sure [00:45] vxworks: generic [00:45] nope, i have not played MP3s with rythumbox in gutsy [00:46] i try to stick to ogg vorbis as much as possible [00:46] what image supports my processor? [00:46] vxworks: I suggest using the i386 image [00:46] a core 2 duo is a 64bit proc, but 386 will run just as well [00:46] spl0it: How do you know thats whats hanging your machine? [00:46] I've played plenty of MP3s and it doesn't stop after one [00:46] Pici, I did a little more googling and found someone who installed ia32-libs-sdl which worked for them [00:47] Pici, and it worked for me :D [00:47] eric__: odd. [00:47] vxworks: and it will require less work on your end to get working [00:47] Pici, nahh :P [00:47] i have a little trouble as i eject a cd/dvd . The systems comes out with a popup like"impossible to eject the volume". i click ok and then it ejects the cd.any hint to remove the useless popup?

[00:49] has anyone had issues burning cds and dvds with gutsy? [00:49] vxworks: if you want to work harder getting flash in ff working along with some other things, research on ubuntuforums.org first is my suggestion [00:49] vxworks: I warn you, getting some proprietary apps, like flash/java and even wine to work properly will be a bit tough. [00:50] I have a core 2 duo and run the i386 kernel, works great [00:50] hey [00:50] vxworks, use 32-bit... [00:50] Pici, now I have to find why google earth does not work [00:50] desktop users should use 32-bit unless you do a crapload of intensive stuff (not gaming) [00:51] Palintheus, great, does i368 kernel supports core 2 duo ? [00:51] it runs [00:51] what do you mean by supported? [00:51] use the linux-image-generic [00:51] it supports smp [00:51] vxworks: the generic kernel, which the i386 compatible iso runs, supports smp [00:51] pici: I'll just disable it in bios - I'll see if I can concentrate on getting my soudn card to work lspci -nnvv lists my card, but thats all I have for now asoundconf list shows nothing [00:52] how does one start a xinetd service in Debian/Ubuntu? [00:52] whoever i was asking this time yesterday about workspaces and desks in gutsy - i figured it out. There's a bug in the desktop effects- or at least there is on mine. [00:52] spl0it: what card? [00:52] hi [00:52] tftpd to be exact. [00:52] hmm lsmod | grep snd shows nothing! SB Live! [00:52] Whenever I select System->Quit it hangs for a good 60 seconds, any reason why this might be? This is before the dialog comes up to logout, shutdown, etc. verb3k: all subsequent attempts bring the shutdown dialog up right away. It is only the first time that it hangs. === dsarmientos is now known as dsarmientos_ [00:53] what does ctrl+alt+(either F1 or F2) do? [00:53] clinton__ find out what command that is making, then run it from a terminal so you can see any debug information..

[00:53] Speaking of OpenArena earlier, I'm off to kick some . . . well, you know [shakes head at amusement towards the language nazis] [00:53] ...it's called a "Linux Console" hence TERM=linux [00:53] spl0it: isn't that dialog a part of debug and not a command? [00:53] does anyone elses desktop ever get fuzzy or vibrate? === dsarmientos_ is now known as dsarmientos [00:54] mechung: you probably have an incorrect refresh rate on your monitor [00:54] yeah, sounds nasty for your monitor [00:54] hey, how many performace do I lose in running i386 instead amd64 on a intel core 2 duo processor? do u guys have an ideia? [00:54] ahh... thanks [00:54] vxworks, zero. [00:54] vxworks: none [00:54] and use the -generic [00:54] how do I create my own intranet? Like, for example, typing localhost in the browser takes me to the contents of /var/www/. I'd like to type "matthew" and it take me somewhere else (perhaps a subdirectory of /var/www/). how do I achieve this? [00:54] how does one leave the linux console once entering it?

[00:55] hehe [00:55] is libgl referring to glade? [00:56] no, that's libglade [00:56] matthew: hope that helps.. if your local machine is mydomain.com you should be able to setup matthew.mydomain.com to go to a specific folder, etc.. [00:56] how do I tell firefox to open images with gnome-thumb instead of eog? I find the latter totally redundant [00:56] HairyDude, right click the image, properties, open with [00:56] is there a patch to make the edges of workspaces flip to the adjoining one when dragging a window to it? the desktop effects that do the same cause me to lose all workspaces effectively [00:56] pici: if lsmod | grep snd shows nothing - what am I missing? can you point me in the right direction? :o [00:56] DownhillGames, what is libgl and how can I get it? I cannot find it in repository [00:56] you'll need to do this for each image time (stupid gnome thingo) [00:57] eric__, what are you compiling and why? [00:57] there is no 'open with' [00:57] HairyDude, sure is [00:57] DownhillGames, not compiling anything... trying to run google earth [00:57] spl0it: whats your card listed as in lspci?

[00:57] not sure which tab, not on my ubuntu machine [00:57] Has anyone else seen a problem with Nautilus and too many files?

I'd like to get aat least get it back to there [01:11] muskogeerabbit: how did you accomplish that? [01:12] I right clicked on the panel and set it for auto hide. I installed UBUNTU first.

[01:26] please, i need to know how i can log in as root in the ubuntu visual interface. i am aware of the risks. i know how to log in in a terminal window but if i try to manipulate a file with the visual interface it still considers me as "ubuntu". if i try to just log in as "root" the login window says root shouldn't be supposed to log in like that. how do i do it. again, i know it is risky but i have to do it [01:27] (i know how to set password with sudo passwd and all i just want to be logged in as root in the ubuntu main interface) [01:27] Jrib: Thanks youve been a great help [01:27] Bluerider: sudo works just fine [01:27] BlueRider, sudo bash [01:27] BlueRider: gksudo nautilus and be careful...

[01:28] what's the difference [01:28] I have 7.04 successfully installed on a Sony desktop Vaio, 1.4ghz 128mb Ram 40gb hd Cd r/w dvd r. it ran the live 7.04 install disk with no error or problems. will it upgrade well to 7.10? [01:29] !gksudo | BlueRider [01:29] BlueRider: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"!

[01:30] I have just upgraded a vaio c1 to 7.10. I have 3 problems 1. The colors are all messed up. Even the boot screen. It looks like everyhting is now green. I have checked, and I can change get other colors (IE in firefox). Can I reinstall XFE easily?

[02:18] Evanlec: or use VNC to start Deluge [02:18] scguy318: to widnows? [02:18] Evanlec: *start Deluge in the VNC session on your desktop [02:18] bluefox@ubuntu-server:/Shared/Clay$ sudo usermod -g 1000 bluefox [02:18] usermod: unknown group 1000 [02:18] scguy318: i cant seem to get vnc working [02:18] Evanlec: or perhaps set the DISPLAY var [02:19] Evanlec: DISPLAY=:0 or w/e [02:19] bluefox83: yes, so that tells you what is wrong [02:19] but scguy318 when you have to force quit something and pieces of it remain on your screen how do you clean it off? [02:19] jrib, so what is wrong? [02:19] as a recent switched to Ubuntu, is it normal to feel like the fonts all look like ass? [02:19] switcher* [02:19] bluefox83: there's no such group... why do you want to do this? [02:19] ajnewbold: please try not to use vulgarity [02:19] alphin: that stuff should be gone when the app quits, if not a last rest would be to restart the X server [02:19] First time user with Blank Screen on install anyone willing to lend me a hand? [02:19] tritium: Ah, sorry [02:20] TheShadow: sure, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in Recovery Mode [02:20] what ports need to be open for boinc manager and boinc client ? [02:20] TheShadow: select vesa for driver [02:20] jrib, because i can't get the right permissions from nfs when i write to my share [02:20] avis: none I think, its all outgoing [02:20] scguy318, it always happens and I do need to reboot and I hate doing it [02:20] thank you [02:20] scguy318: there's no way to just launch the app in my other session? [02:20] jrib, i have uid and gid 1000 on my system and 1001 on the server [02:20] alphin: you dont have to reboot, just restart the X server [02:20] what do I need to do to get into recovery mode I can't get past the splash [02:20] Evanlec: which other session? [02:21] scguy318: i mean, im logged in locally, but also connected by ssh (same user) [02:21] TheShadow: its in the GRUB menu [02:21] where does ubuntu install crossover office....???....it's not in my apps menu.... [02:21] TheShadow: press Esc, then select Recovery Mode [02:21] bluefox83: create a group with gid 1000 I guess then, but maybe you should wait for someone familiar with nfs to see if there is a better solution than this [02:21] Evanlec: so you wish to start an app via SSH and have it run on the local X? [02:22] orangefly: it's not an official ubuntu package. That's a question for the makers of crossover office. [02:22] scguy318: yea, i just want deluge running (downloading) while im at work [02:22] Evanlec: I guess just type like [02:22] Can somebody tell me how can I fire up Ubuntu from within an already running linux userland? The goal is to boot a Ubuntu on an embedded device using a USB HDD. The bios is very basic and supports only loading a kernel; no initrd. So the initially-booted custom linux will only need to delay 5 seconds (to allow the USB mass storage to be detected) and then .. somehow .. load Ubuntu (kernel+initrd) from the USB drive. [02:22] Evanlec: DISPLAY=:0 deluge [02:23] Evanlec: something like that [02:23] just wondered if anyone else had that problem....crossover worked fine in fiesty.... [02:23] Crossover installed fine for me on Ubuntu. [02:23] scguy318: mm okay [02:23] could someone tell me what svcs -a | grep apache would do? [02:23] Evanlec: I'm not totally sure if that works but worth a shot [02:23] scguy318: i tried doing like deluge & to launch it in the background, but didnt work [02:24] Can grub do what I want? [02:24] Evanlec: that won't do it, it still wont find an X session [02:24] scguy318, can you help me out with a ubce to usb? [02:24] This is happening during the install. no GRUB. I'm popping in my disk and booting from it and I get the "Start or install" menu and no option I try works [02:24] ubcd [02:24] scguy318: yea...would rtorrent work? [02:24] they all just go to blank [02:24] TheShadow: tried safe graphics? [02:24] oh yah [02:24] Evanlec: sure [02:24] nothinh [02:25] Evanlec: just nohup it of course [02:25] my monitor is reciving no sig [02:25] TheShadow: in that case you'll have to use alternate CD unfortunately [02:25] !alternate | TheShadow [02:25] TheShadow: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD.

[02:26] Evanlec: do actually test my suggestions to see if they work :) [02:26] Mmm... KDE [02:26] Evanlec: I'm just citing from secondary knowledge, so I might be dead wrong [02:26] hey guys i accidently hide menu bar on xchat. how can i bring it back? [02:26] i formatted a external hard drive with mkfs.ext3. i did not choose a partition just used the whole disk. when i turn the hard drive on, ubuntu doesn't respond. no icons on gnome for the drive. would like to mount it for user [02:26] edward: putting Ubuntu CD on USB? [02:26] not sure, but perhaps !install would be helpful [02:26] scguy318: alright, i think i need to learn how to use screen too ;p [02:26] !install | edward [02:26] edward: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

[02:37] How long does it generally take to fetch files for an ubuntu update from 7.04 to 7.10 [02:37] usurp: like MyForm m = new MyForm() then m.Show() [02:38] is tere a command to reinstall 7.10 [02:38] to scratch [02:38] usurp: you really should google for some VB guides [02:38] ty [02:38] scguy: how is that done?

[I have no issues with it.] [03:00] t/y Flannel :) [03:00] ray2007, boot camp will attempt to repartition the drive, reducing the OS X install partition and creating a new partition [03:00] I never had issues either [03:00] it was said it helped speed things up [03:01] now it causes problems? [03:01] ray2007: What thats saying is shrink your OS X partition, then let ubuntu do the ext3 partitioning (but you save ubuntu from having to shrink the hfs+) [03:01] are you talking dual boot? [03:01] O.o [03:01] ray2007, it's not very good at it though. you should consider reinstalling OS X and creating the partitions manually [03:01] whats the changelog for this latest nvidia-glx-new update?? [03:01] Flannel, is ext3 th e best way and fastest for linux? [03:01] sipsipclick, i didn't want to hear that :) [03:02] Crozar: ext3 is a good default, "best" is a misnomer [03:02] so boot camp would work, but not great? [03:02] Crozar, it's a good general purpose fs and it's probably the most widely used [03:02] and is rEFIt necessary? [03:02] Flannel, i got a vista laptop , with Sophos antivirus , i dont feel i have full rights of this laptop because of what the university did to it , however i am concerend about UbuntU if i install it will the antivirus reject grub loader? or can i install ubuntu and just use the vista loader instead? [03:03] i'd rather log into mac os x by default without a menu everytime [03:03] ok, installation was successful, however, as soon as I enable my restricted drivers for my nvidia 6100 chipset, to make proper my resolution and reboot, the resolution looks great, but the effects make the desktop unusable, how do I keep the resolution but drop the default effects? Thank you. [03:03] whats the changelog for this latest nvidia-glx-new update?? [03:04] Ax3, System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects [03:04] Ax3, its great and if we donate then it will be greater [03:04] it's not great, the system is unusable [03:04] :( [03:04] anyone know how to get menu animations out of compiz? I lost mine some how [03:04] Ax3, run "xdpyinfo | grep GLX" in the terminal [03:04] i ask myself how to get the snow plugin installed to this default compiz built in [03:05] Hey everyone..... [03:05] so I need to reenable my restricted drivers? and then turn off the visual effects? [03:05] I'm having trouble with my xcfe.. all my panels are gone.. [03:05] right now my resolution is 800x600 sipsipclick [03:05] Flannel, you theyr :( [03:05] Crozar: no idea. [03:05] omg [03:05] anyone know how to get menu animations out of compiz? I lost mine some how [03:05] This is going to sound dumb, but does anyone know how to force Vista to reboot instead of hibernate? [03:05] GLX SGI-GLX [03:05] Crozar: What do you mean by not-full rights? [03:05] Nvm power button fixed it [03:06] Pici, > can i install ubuntu from a laptop that has vista bussiness and sophos antivirus [03:06] gagdfga [03:06] can someone copy the modline from there xorg.cong [03:06] dfsdg [03:06] Giving Linux another try here after a few years, Anyone who can recommend a good place to find themes and wallpapers for Ubuntu? [03:06] crozar just try it [03:06] <_boysdontcry> hi.. can anyone point to linux hardware compatibility lists? i was planning to buy a dvd super drive today that supports lightscribe [03:06] I need to see one [03:06] Flannel, i mean that , the university takes every laptop from every student and reconfigure them to theyr own desires for optimum recreation [03:06] Ely: check out gnome-look.org [03:06] Ax3, i wonder why it says SGI-GLX.. i've got an nvidia card and it says NV-GLX [03:07] anyone know how to get menu animations out of compiz? I lost mine some how [03:07] can someone copy the modline from there xorg.cong [03:07] <_boysdontcry> : instal ccsm... [03:07] I'm having trouble with my xcfe.. all my panels are gone.. [03:07] Thanks Flannel will the themes there install in the latest Ubuntu release? [03:07] sipsipclick: no idea, im a newbie lol [03:07] Crozar: Unless you've got a BIOS password that prevents you from booting from CD, ubuntu will install fine, and GRUB will work plenty fine. Sophos is just AV/Firewall/etc, it runs within windows only [03:07] <_boysdontcry> hi.. can anyone point me to linux hardware compatibility lists? i was planning to buy a dvd super drive today that supports lightscribe [03:07] sipsipclick: im assuming i need to reenable the restricted drivers, and then attempt to turn off the visual effects [03:07] i find one feature in Ubuntu 7.10 lacking [03:08] BONSOIR [03:08] ax3: you will catch on :) [03:08] <_boysdontcry> linux__alien> i find one feature in Ubuntu 7.10 lacking : what is it? [03:08] could someone help me out here, i have a bunch of wget batch files in seperate directories, and i want to execute all of them but i want the files to download to their designated folders (where the wget batch files are located); when i do ./*/*/wget, it downloads everything to the current directory, and i don't want that. Any way to get the files to download to their own directories? [03:08] i just hate 800x600 [03:08] it's 2007 for christ's sake [03:08] Ely: Ubuntu themes are just gnome themes. If the themes are compatable with the latest gnome (I have no idea how compatable themes are, I imagine theres not a big difference, if any) then theyll install in Ubuntu [03:08] d|v, my main purpose for ubuntu is to help the community also in my method , to recruit more into linux rather then windows , but i want to have everything working on it like paltalk , all the great effects , the people i will talk to are the people who dont do gaming , the people who likes entertainment and factors like great effects breezy snow good for inspiration on researching the web or doing essay assignments [03:08] Ax3, did you try "System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects" [03:08] ax3: what kind of graphics you got? [03:08] <_boysdontcry> Murphy_man> : install a gui wget [03:08] thank you Flannel [03:09] Thanks a lot Flannel [03:09] sipsipclick: not before when i had enabled "restricted drivers" for my nvidia 6100 chipset [03:09] ax3: try the restricted drivers yet? [03:09] i had installed some updates yesterday but the system didnt inform me that the updates are available . It used to notify in 7.04 but i dont know it does not inform me about available updates. [03:09] i will be defragmenting the drives before i shrink a partition Flannel [03:09] Flannel, are you the same one from the Neowin forum? [03:09] Crozar: that's always a good idea [03:09] _boysdontcry, i have to manually go to update manager and click on check updates to check whether there are updates available. [03:09] mattg, the system was left virtually unusable, i couldn't see my keystrokes, and navigating with the mouse was impossible [03:09] Ely: No [03:09] my xorg.conf has 1440 x 900 in it [03:09] _boysdontcry, how do i make Ubuntu to notify this automatically [03:09] Okies, thanks [03:09] why doesn't it work? [03:09] can i run programs made for MacOS under linux?: [03:09] <_boysdontcry> : i didn't ask that wrong guy [03:09] ax3: doing some research for ya [03:09] <_boysdontcry> : i didn't ask that wrong guy [03:10] _boysdontcry: i should have thought of that thanks [03:10] hey folks [03:10] snkmad, no [03:10] ok thank you mattg [03:10] this is super frustrating [03:10] btw Flannel is theyr a recovery technology with ubuntu like in vista? not backup but something like you have your system put in the cd , and get it back like it was like the exact WAS for purpose needs when forexample your computer is infected [03:10] lol [03:10] snkmad: look into vmware fusion... think thats the virtual machine for runn OsX [03:10] anizee even if its x86 macos? [03:10] <_boysdontcry> hi.. can anyone point me to linux hardware compatibility lists? i was planning to buy a dvd super drive today that supports lightscribe [03:10] _boysdontcry, i dont understand what you say [03:10] ax3: custom computer? [03:10] Ax3, check the Xorg logs [03:10] mattg: nope bought it from circuit city [03:11] /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:11] <_boysdontcry> : oops [03:11] ax3: brand name? [03:11] from my understanding masos is still freebsd not actualy linux [03:11] <_boysdontcry> : sorry bout that [03:11] Lenovo, mattg [03:11] Crozar: there are various ways to do that yeah. Except you don't get infected. Really backups are your best bet [03:11] not system recovery mode Flannel but the new technology which makes a full recovery to a cd like when you buy a laptop and have system recovery cd's from factory settings , you can have a checkpoint and built a custom factory settings for such in vista [03:11] Ax3: intel video? [03:11] its like trying to run linux progs on unix [03:11] ax3: never heard of it...lookin it up...what's the laptop model number? [03:11] sfire, on board nvidia 6100 chipset [03:11] <_boysdontcry> linux__alien : notificatio problem? hmmm i really don't know... mine notifies me late [03:11] anizee.... wtf? [03:11] its unix based [03:11] Lenovo owns IBM i believe mattg, they are a huge manufacturer [03:11] Ax3: bummer.. know a fix for that with intel video [03:12] Ax3, "lspci | grep VGA" [03:12] mattg: it's a tower, not a lappy [03:12] amazingly the Mac OS X has another new technology i wish to know how these brats steal from linux and linux dont do this for us !!! [03:12] wease|: OSX commmand line stuff will probably work fine. The problem with the GUI stuff is it all runs ontop of cocoa and all those other proprietary frameworks [03:12] mattg, 3000 j series [03:12] aight, ax3, im gettin somewhere, hold on [03:12] quit [03:12] linux is working on themselves rather then builting eyecandy interfaces factors for the NewUbuntu users [03:12] Does the DVD image contain all of main and restricted? [03:12] sipsipclick: 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51G [GeForce 6100] (rev a2) [03:13] or without offending i guess the community is slow :P or we are helpless [03:13] quick question [03:13] ax3: 3000 j... [03:13] yup! [03:13] hrm, I installed xubuntu-desktop via aptitude. I'm surprised to see "sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop" not removing the dependencies... [03:13] im trying to connect my ubuntu laptop to the wifi at work [03:13] could some one help me with this problem ? Is this a problem or is Ubuntu lacking this feature in 7.10 ? [03:13] which is a hidden SSID and WEP 128but key index 2 only [03:13] linux__alien, what feature? [03:13] <_boysdontcry> linux__alien : state your problem [03:13] actually the gwget didn't help much, any other suggestions? [03:13] _boysdontcry [03:13] oops [03:13] update manager is a cron job [03:14] where is the config file so i can manually edit the settings in [03:14] <_boysdontcry> Murphy_man : yes [03:14] so you might have problems with cron [03:14] linux__alien, [03:14] i meant to paste my original message not your name sorry [03:14] some reason ubuntu wont see my ati 1650 gpu [03:14] could someone help me out here, i have a bunch of wget batch files in seperate directories, and i want to execute all of them but i want the files to download to their designated folders (where the wget batch files are located); when i do ./*/*/wget, it downloads everything to the current directory, and i don't want that. Any way to get the files to download to their own directories? [03:14] bruenig, how do i start it then [03:14] its making me nuts [03:14] ax3: my brother knows exactly how to install the drivers...i just wish i could get a hold of him. he's got it all written down on a tablet....GRRRR [03:15] bruenig, even when i start it next time i reboot it does not run [03:15] mattg, no problem i appreciate the effort [03:15] <_boysdontcry> hi.. can anyone point me to linux hardware compatibility lists? i was planning to buy a dvd super drive today that supports lightscribe [03:15] linux__alien, there is probably a daemon in /etc/init.d, but it might also be an issue with how cron is configured [03:15] Starting periodic command scheduler crond [fail] [03:15] mattg, im going to reenable the restricted drivers and *try* to kill the visual effects [03:15] bruenig, this is what i get it fails :( [03:15] linux__alien, yeah that looks to be the problem [03:15] mattg, but last time it wouldn't even let me into the menu [03:16] so we'll see.... [03:16] Ax3, you should go back to the restricted drivers and make sure they're actually loading by reading the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file [03:16] murphy, build a script if you want each to separate to individual directories [03:16] bruenig, any idea on how to rectify it ? [03:16] so i just booted Ubuntu for the first time last week and I'm having a couple of issues [03:16] first [03:16] wget will only go to a singular directory without it as far as i know [03:16] linux__alien, read through the script, see where it is having problems [03:16] :\ [03:16] has default aptitude behavior changed? it used to remove dependencies installed along with a package. [03:16] no wget will do mirroring [03:16] sipsipclick: what exactly am i looking for in the log, it's very long [03:16] Wine freezez every time it tries to do something with the config and I have to do a hard reboot [03:16] ax3: my bro does it in 5 minutes, but he knows how to do it...here's the best i can do for ya https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia [03:17] I am having difficulty installing Flash for Opera. I use their instructions, and no matter how many times I say no i do not want to commence (it wants to install ONLY to mozilla's directory and not opera's) [03:17] Ax3 i had a similar issue, it said it was loading the restricted drivers for my card and it wasnt, snagged the package and it worked after disable reboot enable reboot [03:17] mirroring but not to multiple directories per file [03:17] tritium, it still does that, just like apt-get still does that [03:17] without a script [03:17] Is there a way to successfully install flash to opera on ubuntu 7.10? [03:17] bruenig, are there any logs for this? [03:17] tritium, well not just like apt-get, it has more problems than apt-get but yeah [03:17] any1 know how to do it without a script? [03:17] linux__alien, read through the script in /etc/init.d [03:17] in fact there's a "-m" to wget for mirroring mode [03:17] ahh [03:17] mattg, ok thx will read [03:17] can anyone suggest a good app for lrunning .exe's that isn't Wine? [03:17] nice i'll try that [03:17] how about this: (II) NV(0): Not using mode "1440x900" (no mode of this name) [03:17] Ax3, post it to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [03:17] ax3: hopefully it's what you want [03:17] found that in the xorg.log [03:18] bruenig: evidently not in the same way as before. I'm trying to uninstall xubuntu-desktop per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205002 or http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome.php, but it's not working [03:18] CoyPraetorian: vmware ? [03:18] sipsip, but that will allow multiple directory location files moved simultaneously? [03:18] bruenig: i.e., sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop only removes the meta-package [03:18] is that in the Global repo or do I need to go find it? [03:18] grimlock: recall what it was? :p [03:18] tritium, you really don't want to follow that first thread [03:18] ive never been able to make it work as such [03:18] tritium, someone needs to flag that, that is a terrible idea === RAVTUX is now known as RAVTUX-AWAY [03:18] and I'd rather just use wine, if anyone can tell me why it's freezing [03:18] weasel, what are multiple directory location files? [03:18] BucatoAmano: nevertheless, it should work, yes? [03:19] How do I install flash for opera? [03:19] can someone help me pls... my panel in xubuntu crashed... dont know how to fix it [03:19] bruenig: sorry, above was for you [03:19] Ax3 mine was with a geforce 7400 go [03:19] wouldnt let me enable advanced stuff [03:19] How do I install flash for opera on ubuntu 7.10? [03:19] tritium, how did you install xubuntu-desktop? [03:19] desktop cube and rotation [03:19] bruenig: via aptitude [03:19] Ax3, use gedit to open the log file and post the entire thing to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [03:19] sipsip, err multiple files moved to directories (single files moved to different locations simultaneously) [03:19] * tritium has /var/log/aptitude to prove it [03:19] tritium, you do not want to install meta-packages via aptitude, just a tip for the future, but you should be able to remove the dependencies [03:20] like i said snagged the nvidia package (in synaptics) and then reboot and such [03:20] sipsipclick: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44577/ [03:20] got better [03:20] one sec let me look [03:20] Ok. How do I copy and paste a file to a usr/bin/ folder? It says I don't have permission [03:20] bruenig: and why is that? [03:20] hmmm ok thanks grimlock [03:20] tritium, what did you install in its place? [03:20] tritium, meta-package hell: http://pastebin.ca/653424 [03:20] bruenig: in what's place? [03:20] also, Ubuntu will spontaneously crash [03:20] nvidia-glx-new [03:20] the #ubuntu channel window is moving so quickly because of my ultra-low resolution, it's hard to keep up with all of you...lol [03:20] tritium, did you install another meta-package instead of xubuntu-desktop? [03:20] <_boysdontcry> is lightscribe supported in ubuntu? can anyone point me to dvd compatibility list? [03:20] ax3 [03:21] the screen will go blank and fuzzy and I need a hard reboot [03:21] ok i will look, thanks grimlo [03:21] thoughts? [03:21] grimlock: * [03:21] np [03:21] ax3, have a beer [03:21] :P [03:21] bruenig: no [03:21] How do I copy and paste a file to a usr/bin/ folder? It says I don't have permission [03:21] suid? [03:21] anyone have an idea on my wifi issue? need to change a hidden SSID to key index 2 by default [03:21] after i solve this wease|, no linux pain, no reward lol [03:21] bruenig: installed xubuntu-desktop to try it out. Having installed nothing else after that, would now like to remove it [03:21] Ax3, post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file too [03:21] tritium, how did you remove it? [03:22] Does xubuntu come with compiz fusion already installed [03:22] thanks w/ the wget, that'll work for me [03:22] bruenig: sudo aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop [03:22] anyone know if there is a ipodlinux IRC? [03:22] where can I get VMWare? [03:22] CoyPraetorian: vmware.com [03:22] How do I copy and paste a file to a usr/bin/ folder? It says I don't have permission [03:22] hehe [03:22] CoyPraetorian: its now released for free [03:22] i was doing that [03:22] just have to fill out annoying info [03:22] sipsipclick: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44578/ [03:22] tritium, yeah I don't now, aptitude is crap, could have just failed. It is supposed to do that though. [03:23] sfire where is it? [03:23] just VMWare.com? [03:23] bruenig: okay, thanks. What is your paste an output of? [03:23] aptitude used to have super cow power [03:23] i miss it so [03:23] * wease| cries [03:23] CoyPraetorian: its called VMware server its in their downloads section [03:23] Is there some way to have multiple drives appear as one and have some sort of redundancy? Not like basic raid, but dynamic to the point the drives don't have to be the same size but all of the space is used. There was a standalone enclosure that did this, but I was wondering if there was some software solution. [03:23] Ax3, try replacing your Modes line with "Modes "nvidia-auto-select" [03:23] Could someone tell me how in the world do I put the Recycle Bin / Trash icon on the Ubuntu Desktop ? [03:23] Ax3, line 80 in the paste bin [03:23] ok [03:24] How do I copy and paste a file to a usr/bin/ folder? It says I don't have permission [03:24] <_boysdontcry> Sony DRU835 Int. 18X w/ LightScribe <--- is this supported in ubuntu? [03:24] Ax3, then you might need to kill the xserver with control-alt-backspace [03:24] hello is there a program that will open a paperport scan file with ext .max? has anyone opened one before? [03:24] tritium, that is meta-package hell [03:24] undead, it requires a pint of blood and your first child [03:24] :P [03:24] tritium, caused by installing a meta-package with aptitude [03:24] _boysdontcry: I've seen no linux software to do lightscribe.. there could be some now.. but wasn't before [03:25] Ax3, well i mean, that might be the minimum you need to do [03:25] hello, i would like to know what is a recommended antivirus to use with ubuntu .... i heard there is an antivirus for linux. ( just in case) and an ANtispyware. THANK YOU [03:25] do you know how to change a icon size in the panel? i downloaded fusion icon but it will not be displayed in the panel unless i make the panel 26 pixels [03:25] it is just blank [03:25] whabo, there are, like clamav, but they are really for scanning for windows viruses [03:25] Undead_Zeus: copying from the command line or nautilus? [03:25] whabo: antivirus isn't necessary [03:25] were the icon is suppouse to be [03:25] <_boysdontcry> sfire : do u think Sony DRU835 Int. 18X is supported? [03:25] sfire, I thought I heard that Lightscribe has some beta linux software available [03:25] I am just copying from a folder to another [03:25] trying to drag one file into another [03:25] thank you. [03:25] _boysdontcry: I'm sure the drive should work fine [03:25] Ely: press ALT-F2 and type "gconf-editor" into the text box [03:25] sipsipclick: ok now, just to make sure im doing this correctly, should restricted drivers be on or off when i do the xorg.conf alteration? [03:26] I'm also looking for a printer Driver for my Lexmark Z735 printer, any ideas? [03:26] also [03:26] Ely: this will bring up the Configuration Editor [03:26] Hey all, this maybe a dumb question, but is there a way to change from amd64 to the i386 without reinstalling? [03:26] Can someone help me? I did a fresh install of Gutsy and there is definitely some kind of mem leak in my NetworkManager. It was fine for a while but now it's just constantly surging to take 95%+ of CPU after an 30minutes or so [03:26] grimlock / sipsipclick: i found nvidia-glx-new in synaptic should I grab that? [03:26] try that [03:26] Ax3, you should use the restricted drivers unless you have stability issues. installing them might overwrite changes to xorg.conf though, i don't know [03:26] bruenig: I've never had any troubles with aptitude before [03:26] so hold off on the xorg.conf change and try glx first? [03:26] Ely: next, click the arrow next to "apps" then look for "nautilus" and click the arrow next to that [03:27] whabo, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_computer_viruses [03:27] can't find a DL link for VMWare. . . [03:27] * CoyPraetorian is puzzled [03:27] ok well here goes nothing [03:27] lol [03:27] Ely: highlight "desktop", and look on the right side of the window for "trash_icon_visible" [03:27] Ely: check that box and it should appear on your desktop [03:27] CoyPraetorian: http://vmware.com/download/server/ [03:27] How can I combine 2 PDFs into 1? [03:27] ty [03:27] How do I copy and paste a file to a usr/bin/ folder? It says I don't have permission. I am trying to drag a file from one folder to another... [03:27] Is there some GUI tool for it? I use adobe pro in Windows... but... in ubuntu... :-/ [03:27] <_boysdontcry> Oops.... found no lightscribe in synaptic uoh... [03:27] sacamano, a mem leak would involve your memory taken up, not your processor being maxed [03:28] mjbrooks well it does both [03:28] back in a few hopefully :) thx grimlock / sipsipclick - i'll report back as soon as im able... lol [03:28] CoyPraetorian, You can also get it from the Ubuntu Commercial Repository [03:28] hello is there a program that will open a paperport scan file with ext .max? has anyone opened one before? [03:28] _boysdontcry: that just means you won't be able to burn lightscribe labels [03:28] Undead_Zeus: type "sudo nautilus" from terminal, then enter your pw [03:28] _boysdontcry: the drive itself will still work [03:28] it's taking up currently 93% of CPU and 35% of memory [03:28] Undead_Zeus: i believe you need to have root privileges in order to alter files in that directory, therefore, open a terminal window and type sudo cp "path1" "path2" - it should then prompt you for your root password [03:28] <_boysdontcry> : i was planning to buy one... [03:28] Awesome. Thanks [03:28] <_boysdontcry>sudo nautilus in a terminal [03:28] fignuts: that works too haha [03:29] <_boysdontcry> <_boysdontcry>sudo nautilus in a terminal : wrong guy [03:29] anyone have any ideas on my wireless issue?

[03:30] Another question: I have a Zen V Plus, 4GB. How do I browse its contents? [03:30] I don't see its drive in Computer [03:30] I just recently installed my Seirra WireLess AirCard 875 on my Ubuntu, everything went fine with the installation, and it will even show that it has connected online, the only thing is that immediately after connecting it gives me an error message and doesnt let me access the internet. Can someone breakdown a step by step installation process so I can reinstall it and make sure everything is right? And please no links, I installed usi [03:30] ng a link that someone gave me and thats why I think I ran into the errors because the link's instuctions were hard to follow.

[03:31] Ely: nowhere to be found? [03:31] Thanks for the help, may I ask what channel I can go to for real help? [03:32] CoyPraetorian, Try installing the lastest version from wine's repos and if that doesn't work try moving your .wine directory to see if it [03:32] CoyPraetorian: I would try re-installing wine.. if that didn't work I would try building from source [03:32] marx, if you want to joing the channel #telegu do this command: /join #telgu [03:32] For me [03:32] lol [03:32] will that be in synaptic?

It doesn't say "Docked" like it should (indicates it is currently being accessed from an outside source) [03:32] (docked on the mp3 player screen) [03:33] Undead_Zeus: try using Gnomad.

[03:40] CoyPraetorian: why how is it borked? [03:40] thanks for the help. Off I go for a bit of fawn and gibbon wrestling.

I looked in synaptic it's not in there. Just xchat and xchat-gnome [03:43] and I got frustrated it was very hard to get it to work [03:43] Ely: yeah, things have definitely come a long way [03:43] sorry just xchat [03:43] Is there any way to get the GUI network tool to allow me to connect to Wired Network and a Wireless network at the same time?

[03:47] robotoworks, can you explain? [03:47] PokerFacePenguin and others, perhaps my question should instead be: why does the gui network tool change my routing tables and automatically bring interfaces back up that I have specifically turned off with ifconfig? [03:47] offipso: yes, there were several examples using suse that i found i a search yesterday concerning failover [03:47] I'm loving the special GUI effects too hehe [03:47] love the transation effect from one virtual desktop to another [03:47] I need to get my Sierra Wireless AirCard 875 to work on Gutsy [03:47] PokerFacePenguin: when I plug in the network cable, the network icons do not spin the green lines, when I open the browser it cannot find any web pages [03:47] robotoworks: do you know what chipset it uses?

[03:48] robotoworks, the chip the card runs on [03:48] hello [03:48] WindowsSux, the best way to find documentation for specific programs is to search for it without limiting yourself to docs just about ubuntu [03:48] How would I find that, sorry total noob [03:48] windowssux, for example apache has good documentation on their site [03:48] WindowsSux, you can type the man APPNAME in console and get the manual file as well [03:49] robotoworks, google for your card [03:49] morgan: a command to get you an ip address for your interface etho is "sudo dhclient eth0" .........try that after you plug in the wire [03:49] when i try to play an mp3 amarok opens up and gives an error box saying no mp3 support, there is a button "install mp3 support" but it freezes up and won't let me click on it.

Then what do I do with it? [03:50] ok so i have wine installed, how do i install windows apps with it? [03:50] why cant i mount a floppy anymore: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, [03:50] or too many mounted file systems [03:50] jonny5: thats channel ops changing their status in the channel [03:50] WindowsSux, in console type wine PATHTOFILE [03:50] somehow i cant see the top of any window it just disappeared, which means i can only run 1 application at a time, its the bar that lets you minimize and close apps, so now i have to click file quit [03:50] WindowsSux: wine filename.exe [03:50] I googled it but Im not sure exactly what Im looking for [03:50] and it will install? [03:51] anyone know how to get it to the way it used to be [03:51] morgan: you are trying to get your isp/router to give you an ip address so that your computer can talk to other computers on the network [03:51] robotoworks, look if it mentions chipset somewhere [03:51] WindowsSux: Keep in mind that wine might not work well for graphically-intense programs. There's an alternative to it, Cedega I think it's currently called [03:51] like the setup file of a xp app? [03:51] WindowsSux: it will run it [03:51] WindowsSux, yes, a .exe file will install in wine. [03:51] morgan: after the command, try to surf the net with your browser [03:51] WindowsSux: if it's a setup file then yes it will install it [03:51] so just copy xp files to minux box and type wine in console to run the setup.exe of desired xp app?y l [03:51] HEYY, i come from Winamp, 1000% winamp, and i done install xmms... [03:51] thanks.. will try that [03:51] TOO NICE!!!! [03:51] It doesnt mention chipset [03:52] robotoworks: if it wasn't auto detected that means you have to use ndiswrapper [03:52] WindowsSux: wine setup.exe yes [03:52] guys ... is it possible to install grub onto a floppy from windows? [03:52] How do I use that? [03:52] thas badass [03:52] anybody know where xchat's plugin directory is by default under ubuntu? [03:52] thats badass!!! [03:52] robotoworks: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [03:52] Ax3: ~/.xchat2 [03:52] Ax3: Could it be ~/.xchat2 ? That's where my default directory is, though I have no plugins [03:53] there we go [03:53] WindowsSux: you need to run winecfg first [03:53] ok thanks Palintheus / offipso [03:53] cabroni_: try amarok [03:53] robotoworks: even shows you how to identify it [03:53] Ax3: np [03:53] whats winecfg do? [03:53] WindowsSux: runs wine setup utility [03:53] robotoworks: the other option is to take the card back and get something that linux supports [03:54] PokerFacePenguin: hey it works, the icons dont look like they do on my laptop when I plug it in, but Im not worried about looks, im looking for functionality, is this something that will need to be done with each reboot or each time its on a new network? [03:54] WindowsSux: sets up wine so it can emulate properly [03:54] krisbo9000, there might be a way to make a boot disk that can boot operating systems on the different partitions, but I dont' know if you can install it to a floppy..and if you could, if it would be useful [03:54] so i installed compiz using apt-get, it says it's installed. i can't find it. ??? [03:54] THanx, but I dont think taking the card back is possible, got it off of ebau [03:54] Ebay* [03:54] PokerFacePenguin: thank you for your help [03:54] hi, just installed fiesty and i cannot get the quote key to work, tried different keyboards and they all have the same problem [03:54] hey how do i get ie 7 on my ubuntu box, just so i can show the guys at work [03:54] sfears: check under your preferences / appearance / Visual effects [03:54] sfears: try out compiz --replace if u have 3d driver installaed [03:54] cool [03:55] robotoworks: I've had very good luck getting them to work with ndiswrapper [03:55] Hello, can someone help me set up mpd,? im trying, but in sonata, there is no music appearing.... [03:55] 3d driver? [03:55] WindowsSux, IE 7 is only for windows (assuming you're talking about internet explorer) firefox is superior anyway [03:55] Will ndiswrapper do the trick or is it only part of it? [03:55] morgan: there are multiple possibilities for why, but you probably have more than one nic installed and your interfaces set up improperly somehow, dhclient will ask the network for an ip for whatever interface you specify [03:55] robotoworks: it will do the trick.. I have to use that for my laptops wireless card [03:56] Is evolution really worthwhile? anyone use it over gmail's web interface? I'm debating trying it again [03:56] how can I add a menu item to the context menu in nautilus (right click on file)? [03:56] barring that, I have gotten IE 5 to work in wine... but it's even worse than usual and it's really alot of hassle [03:56] Thanx, I g2g now [03:56] morgan: another useful command you can try is man ifconfig, it will give you information on that command [03:57] john_ just asked what I was going to ask... heh. [03:57] morgan: and man will work for any command [03:57] g [03:57] using ubuntu studio, i don't have appearance under prefs. any idea what else it might be under [03:57] can someone tell me what port I need to forward in my router for x-chat to work? [03:58] How do you reverse incoming messages so the newest messages appear at the top of Xchat?????????? [03:58] yea how? [03:58] lol no clue [03:58] hello to all [03:58] how can i tel what "/dev" my cdrom is using ? [03:58] sfears: try themes? [03:58] cool [03:59] Thunderbird or Evolution? [03:59] sfears: on feisty, compiz isn't as integrated [03:59] Do I have to install ndiswrapper 1.8 or is it preinstalled? [03:59] as it is in gutsy [03:59] alright [03:59] i'm upgrading to feisty as we speak [03:59] that's true, all the settings on feisty are spread around the menus. [03:59] mabey it'll show up after restart [03:59] sfears: to feisty or from feisty? [03:59] to feisty.. i think [04:00] how can i tell what "/dev" my cdrom is using ? === Tux_ is now known as chippas [04:00] lol - if I were you, I would just backup all my files and do a clean upgrade to Gutsy [04:00] distro upgrade 7.10 [04:00] that's gutsy [04:00] that's gutsy [04:00] jynx :) [04:00] morgan: you can also type cat /etc/network/interfaces to see how you are set up to load at boot, do a google on this standard file for detailed info [04:00] so i have ie 6 working for ubuntu, how do i get ie 7, anyone please? [04:00] .Can someone help me work mpd? [04:00] Why do you want IE to work in linux, if I might ask? [04:00] ohh.. well, guess i'll see what happens after restart [04:00] WindowsSux... why are you determined to do IE? [04:00] Borat, what is the problem [04:00] yeah forget IE [04:00] to test html code at work [04:01] ah [04:01] How to you make new messages flow down instead of up on xchat??????????????????????????????????????????? [04:01] hmm... does't html work for any web browser? [04:01] well [04:01] most web browsers? [04:01] ... we web designers should really stop catering to the IE regime! [04:01] i hate ie, i just do html , i need to test it with the BLUE E [04:01] You're right... [04:01] i have installed it, and ln -s [04:01] We should. -_- [04:01] How to you make new messages flow down instead of up on xchat??????????????????????????????????????????? [04:02] and done sudo mpd, but when i open up sonata, i dont know how to connect [04:02] IE should burn... [04:02] Hoe do I install ndiswrapper 1.8? [04:02] jonny5: only ask your questions once please [04:02] yea but 90 percent of business's use ie 6 [04:02] jonny5: please stop repeating, but it's probably not possible [04:02] Borat, did you setup the mpd configuration file? [04:02] okay, moronic question, but I"m hoping someone could help me: Does anyone know how to find out which version of ubuntu you're running in terms of 32 or 64 bit? I can't remember which i installed on this computer and I'm trying to find out:( [04:02] no, where is that? [04:02] yeah but 90 percent of businesses are wrong [04:02] ghost_: dpkg --print-architecture [04:02] i had to fight at my job to get firefox pushed for the end user [04:02] AH, I have a question. Does anyone else have a gdesklet icon that disappears in the notify bar and never comes back? I've done gdeskelts configure, too [04:02] hmm the newest update just broke my compiz I saw the restricted drivers being updated do you know if they added the fglrx drivers to restricted drivers? [04:02] crdlb: thanks so much [04:03] How do I install ndiswrapper 1.8? [04:03] Anyway, does anyone here know how to edit the right-click context menus? [04:03] k [04:03] Borat, I imagine /etc/mpd.conf [04:03] so does any one know how to install ie 7? [04:03] after the updates are fetched i can disconnect and it will continue to install right? [04:03] I can't even get IE6 working... -_- [04:03] robotoworks: ndiswrapper is in the repos [04:03] RMXP, I'm just guessing, but try gconf-editor and look for Nautilus in there [04:03] hey guys my borders on my spplication are there so now i can only run 1 app at a time i cant minimize anything either it only does this on this account i dont really want to use the root account [04:03] Okay, thanks. [04:03] What do you mean repos? [04:04] robowroks: if you have the tar.gz file, look into the readme- it's in there [04:04] WindowsSux: you should be able to use a virtual machine and install IE7 in that [04:04] it's also in the repositories [04:04] robotoworks: the repositories, via synaptic [04:04] hmm [04:04] tar. huh? Im so confused [04:04] alright... let's explain this [04:04] bruenig: I hate myself for the mess I've made! [04:04] could it be: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper [04:04] tritium, not a big deal [04:04] there are a few ways to install things in ubuntu - you can get .deb files, .tar.gz files, or the repositories [04:04] bruenig, what do i do from there? [04:04] having a small prob here. added http://hendrik.kaju.pri.ee/ubuntu thirdparty sources but I still cant find screenlets when searching? running gutsy. [04:05] Borat, open that file with a text editor and go to town [04:05] the repos are by far the easiest way, just type "sudo apt-get install xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" where the x is the name of your program [04:05] Borat, it is all well commented, just read it and change stuff as appropriate [04:05] .deb files work like windows .exe files. download and run them [04:05] Vovk: not exactly [04:05] .tar.gz files have instructions to install them inside of them. just look for something like a readme [04:06] sainzeo [04:06] r u there? [04:06] WindowsSux: yes [04:06] tritium: just an overview... it's not exact, but it was faster to type [04:06] Huh, as soon as I enter synaptic it automatically quits [04:06] Vovk: that's cool. I agree. === HeadGreebo is now known as Greebo||away [04:07] so do u think i should download it from microsoft or what?, i hate this but im trying not to use xp or vista ever again yet i have to use ie 7 , to test my .css,html ect.... [04:07] anyone know how i can get a gui application to launch while im connected via ssh [04:07] make sure you don't have Add/Remove programs up [04:07] or the update manager [04:07] Evanlec_: ssh -X? [04:07] Someone who can really help and wouldnt mind would you mind going to: www.robotoworks.prosoftstudio.com ? [04:07] WindowsSux: well, if you use a VirtualMachine, it will be like a virtual Windows therefore allowing you to run IE, but, if you just want IE there might be a way to do it through wine [04:08] WindowsSux: do you need IE6 or IE7? [04:08] WindowsSux: You should just stop supporting IE users. [04:08] Burlynn: i dont want it to run here, i want it to run on the remote machine im connected to (my ubuntu box) [04:08] ie 7 [04:08] i have to use ie 7, for my job [04:08] WindowsSux: wine iexplore [04:08] is a wireless network card a pci device? [04:08] Burlynn: im on a windows machine rite now [04:08] rmxp, i agree [04:08] ok I'm lost here? this should be simple enough. what repo do you guys use to get screenlets with? [04:08] WindowsSux: It sux having to cater to the moronic breast fed businesses eh? [04:08] i just need $ [04:08] lol [04:08] sfears: usually [04:08] Evanlec_: so use vnc? [04:08] Good way of putting it. [04:08] i think that's what it is. it doesn't use IE's engine though [04:09] crdlb: i cant seem to get vnc working... [04:09] Evanlec_: vnc then, or i dunno if windows has a freenx client [04:09] WindowsSux: it might format it like IE though. i dunno [04:09] Isn't the whole point of Linux and open source software choice? If we didnt' support IE, wouldn't we be doing the same thing that business used to do , which is only support IE and not Firefox? [04:09] we'd be no better. === Q_Continuum is now known as Q_Contoxicated [04:09] Burlynn: windows does have a freenx client, but where's the freenx for gutsy? [04:09] www.robotoworks.prosoftstudio.com/forum please go there if you can hep me [04:09] ndiswrapper install directions give two choices pci or usb.. i guess i'd configure using pci then right? [04:09] WindowsSux: this link may help you out: http://webexpose.org/2007/01/07/internet-explorer-7-on-linux/ [04:09] Evanlec_: what do you need help with in VNC? [04:09] yes, i work in the corporate world in TEXAS they all use ie 6 and 7, firefox is forbidden, they think that Internet Explorer is the INTERNET, its funny [04:09] Evanlec_: sorry if Im jumpin in, I have no clue where you left off.. umm does the machine you are trying to access have the server running [04:10] sfears: what type of card do you have [04:10] k [04:10] helpyhelperton: which server? it has a vnc server running, and port forwarded..try connecting from ehre with tightVNC and timeout [04:10] linksys wpc300n [04:10] Jordan_U: Thanks for the help [04:10] i have done all of this, and it is telling me that i am not connected, is it possible for host i just put, localhost? [04:10] *here [04:10] WindowsSux: Oh wow Texas.. yeah that 'll do it all right [04:10] mabey on this 7.10 upgrade drivers will be there???? [04:10] Um... isn't that just about everywhere? [04:10] www.robotoworks.prosoftstudio.com/forum [04:10] i won't need to use ndiswrapper.. that'd be tha shit [04:11] sfears: Im not sure, I'd give it a try though [04:11] can anyone link me to freenx server for gutsy? [04:12] !nx [04:12] FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX [04:12] hi! I've noticed that my wireless with WPA2 is much slower in linux than when booted into windows. It's a bcm43xx card. I have noticed in that the "Rx invalid crypt" number in iwconfig goes up by one every few seconds, which may be related. how do I fix this? [04:12] why does Ubuntu seem to be like Debian-BETA? [04:12] is iTunes possible in Ubuntu? [04:12] Evanlec_: get the deb off the net. google for it. there's all kinds of tutorials for freenx on gutsy [04:12] I need help creating a bridge for VirtualBox, my XP client isn't getting DHCP. [04:12] Evanlec_ hmm what about uh ssh? [04:12] this switch to linux has been far from smooth... lots of things i can't get to work right, and i'm rarely hardwired to the net.. it's been a pain in the ass [04:12] helpyhelperton: im on ssh, but i wanna get Deluge started so it continues my downloads while im here at work [04:12] morgan: It _might_ be possible with Wine, but I haven't succeeded yet. [04:12] thats what i was afraid of [04:12] helpyhelperton: but it gives me "no x display found" [04:12] syke: try using regular old wpa, your wireless card might not support version 2 under linux [04:13] morgan: looking to play, or buy? [04:13] sfears: Yeah I dpn't blame you, I stil dual boot and when I don't have to dive into things, I just go the easy way and use winblows [04:13] why does ubiquity install open office? [04:13] blahblahx: why wouldn't it? [04:13] i downlaod ndiswrapper & don't have build-essential, i get build-essential & don't have header files for the make install... one thing after another [04:13] because my custom livecd didnt have it installed tonyyarusso [04:13] my borders disappeared on all apps does anyone know how i can get them back [04:13] Evanlec_ yeah I never used ssh with X, so I'm the wrong guy to ask for that... although I have had success with vnc [04:14] not sure, I am installing Ubuntu on a laptop for a co-worker, she really wants itunes, I guess she would be purchasing, playing and synching [04:14] can i use wine to install my wireless driver? [04:14] sfears: you dont need to compile ndiswrapper, its in the repositories [04:14] yeah.. now that i figred that out i'm in the middle of installing 7.10 [04:14] can i use wine to install my wireless driver? [04:14] and by the time that finishes i won't have my hard wired connection anymore [04:14] pokerface: it does work, it's just a bit slower [04:14] so it'll be another week untill i can apt-get [04:14] www.robotoworks.prosoftstudio.com/forum please I need major help! [04:15] WindowsSux: Im thinking no [04:15] WindowsSux: did that link help you out? [04:15] WindowsSux: probably not [04:15] although there are open source drivers for almost everything [04:16] your best bet is to try to get a new wireless router, this time making sure that it is compatible with linux [04:16] syke: but it is complaining of invalid crypts, which leads me to believe that you might need to back it down from wpa2 to test the issue [04:16] robotoworks:? [04:16] Yeah? [04:16] WindowsSux: although it seems that the wireless support is getting better. I actually was able to get mine working with the new upgrade, I just had to tweak with the settings to be able to conncet properly [04:16] all routers should be compatible with linux [04:16] routers have their own OS [04:16] pokerface: it's one invalid crypt every 10 seconds or so [04:16] I'm still getting about 18k/sec via HTTP [04:16] yes thanks so much, u rule!! [04:16] Hi guys, I am having trouble trying to upgrade to gutsy from feisty because my cddrive doesn't seem to be detecting my gutsy CD. Can someone help me please? [04:16] but I get 50k/sec in windows [04:16] one more thing I've learned... still, some wireless drivers do not work so well with linux [04:17] WindowsSux: haha, good luck with it! [04:17] davubunt1: did you download alternative install CD? [04:17] If I want to set permissions on a device at boot time is it correct to add 'KERNEL=="video[0-9]", MODE="0666"' to the /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules file? [04:17] no what;s the alternative CD [04:17] or is there an easier way? [04:17] So can someone help me, please go to my site its less crowded there [04:17] davubunt1: Do you know if the CD was burned as a bootable .ISO rather thanthe iso as a file? [04:17] Anyone new to Ubuntu, and want to talk in a private chat???????? [04:17] i cant get my wireless to work, i got a dell latitude d420, the new super slim, one, and yet i have to use my old linksys wireless b card, it sux!! [04:18] davubunt1: you can't use normal live CD to upgrade. [04:18] it is a text based installer for ubuntu... but it sounds like there's a problem with your cd drive mounting [04:18] Okay first [04:18] fedora 8, recognized it [04:18] davubunt1: you can't use normal live CD to upgrade. <- i didn't know that :O [04:18] I burned it using Gutsy [04:18] fedora 8 rocks, ubuntu is still cleaner lookin [04:18] you cant upgrade via CD without the alternative CD [04:18] davubunt1: can you actually see any CDs when you put them into the disk drive? [04:18] WindowsSux: ndiswrapper is your friend [04:18] 2nd I can install gutsy over the top of feisty using the liveCD [04:18] use that and almost any wireless card will work [04:19] I'm sure of that [04:19] kae: normal live cd only supports installation. in fact, it have the file system compressed not packages [04:19] how do i run xp in a window on my ubuntu box? [04:19] oh, got it :) [04:19] davubunt1: don't do it.. gutsy sucks.. feisty is much better (IMHO) [04:19] Whatever... you are missing the point. The disk isn't being detected [04:19] I'm not very good at networking/webdesign/anything else web-related... yet. can someone tell me what ndswrapper does? [04:19] davubunt1: its going to try and format whatever partition you install it on [04:19] WindowsSux: you can do a virtual machine (www.virtualbox.org) or you could VNC into a different windows machine [04:19] Well I've used both and I like gutsy much better [04:19] WindowsSux: VMWARE [04:19] davubunt1: do you want to upgrade keeping old settings or do a reinstall erasing feisty? [04:20] I dont know how to get ndiswrapper or use it, please come to www.robotoworks.prosoftstudio.com/forum to help me out please! [04:20] That's fine I have a seperate /home and / [04:20] sainzo_: ok your answer is better.. but yeah any virtualization software [04:20] Hi, I asked this question yesterday with no answer: I am trying to connect to a PEAP network using Gutsy. Does anyone have a solution? [04:20] can i install vmware on ubuntu? [04:20] good to read that, next time i'll get the alternatives to save download time... [04:20] reinstall... but that's beside the point the computer isn't detecting the cd or any cd [04:20] robotoworks: how about reading the link I gave you [04:20] WindowsSux: yes [04:20] hello [04:20] robotoworks: you haven't had nearly enough time to read it and try it [04:20] WindowsSux: yes, you may wanna try VirtualBox though first as it has a cool "Slipstream" function [04:20] syke: read http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-353598.html and check out the comments from jml, may be a similiar issue [04:20] davubunt1: easiest way, do a full install of ubuntu gutsy, keep your /home partition and wipe the / partition to create a new one [04:21] pokerface: will read it -- thanks! : [04:21] :) [04:21] davubunt1: it wont boot it or wont detect it when an OS is running? [04:21] I tried reading it, but it is above my undertstanding of Ubuntu and computers [04:21] Vovk/: Thanks. I know that already. That is my plan. The problem is the disk is being detected by my machine [04:21] Please go to my site so we cvan talk without distraction [04:21] N either [04:21] WindowsSux: Yes although I was having trouble the other day when I tried I suggest finding a deb and installing rather than using the repo for vmware [04:21] sainzo_: what is slipstream? [04:21] oh, when i tried to install vmware, ubuntu accused that it coudn't install it in my machine, but i already istalled vmware in other distros, how should i proceed? [04:21] Burlynn: I try to boot from it and that doesn't work and I have checked boot order in the bios [04:22] syke: not sure about your supplicant file, but it might get you headed in the right directions [04:22] I also put the disk in and normally nautilus would mount the disk and open a window [04:22] helpyhelperton: it will allow you to run the virtual machine without the window so that it appears like its directly on the desktop [04:22] but that isn't happening [04:22] davubunt1: may be you burned it in a high speed.. try a lower speed [04:22] davubunt1: bad iso? bad disk? [04:22] It opens fine on my opther machine [04:22] sainzo_: oh ok i have seen that function on a youtube compiz video [04:22] The one I burnt it with [04:23] Could that still be the burn speed [04:23] hello, can anyone answer me how to install software updates locally, i have 100+ users so i want to download updates on one server and then others install from that server. Please help me! [04:23] davubunt1: some machines can't read disks that are burned too fast. use a very slow setting [04:23] helpyhelperton: its also possible with vmware, but you need to use another program and do all this other nonsense haha [04:23] how do i install virtualbox? apt? [04:23] davubunt1: yes, it should read properly in the burner. [04:23] kae: if you use apt, it will install the opensource version which doesn't have all the features [04:24] just do Add/Remove programs kae :) it's very easy for common things like that [04:24] hello [04:24] kae: otherwise, you can download a DEB straight from their website [04:24] davubunt1: does the computer's drive your having trouble running it on support the kind of disk it is burned on? [04:24] Does anyone know how to get PEAP using MSCHAPv2 on Gutsy for 802.1x wireless? [04:24] davubunt1: Some people have had problems with certain disk brands too.. I'd make sure the cd is bootable, check the hash also... [04:24] or, follow sainzeo_'s advice... it's better [04:24] and how do i get all the features? a paid version? [04:24] Hnag on it doesn't matter I tried other CDs and DVDs in this drive too and they aren't working [04:24] hello, can anyone answer me how to install software updates locally, i have 100+ users so i want to download updates on one server and then others install from that server. Please help me! [04:24] kae: no, its still free, just closed source [04:24] It's the drive not the disk(s) [04:24] tw73: there are some solutions like apt-proxy.. but i'm not familiar with those. I can suggest you a workaround [04:24] the modem "vostro1000" has working in Ubuntu 7.10? [04:24] you guys rock, thank you for your help :D [04:25] kae: anytime - goodluck! [04:25] sandaru1: thanks [04:25] I have tried to to find any information on it, but none of the suggestions are working. [04:25] tw73: upgrade one computer. then, copy /var/cache/apt/archives to each computer and do a upgrade [04:26] # [04:26] /msg nickserv set email [04:26] sandaru1 : i'll try it, thanks! [04:26] sainzo_: virtualbox: Can you install new OS or is it just a virtual player? [04:26] helpyhelperton: you can install a new OS [04:27] helpyhelperton: you need the CD or ISO of the OS though of course [04:27] sainzo_: and virtualbox is free? [04:27] does anyone know how I can change the colour of the "burn" animation in Compiz-Fusion? Beryl set all fire the same color (user choice) but the compiz-fusion burn animation only seems to be fire coloured. I'd like it to be a very dark reddish black [04:27] helpyhelperton: yes sir [04:27] hello room [04:27] hello the_nakaii [04:27] helpyhelperton, Yes, and there is a fully open source version and a version with extra proprietary features ( also free as in Beer ) [04:27] I have set the color of the "paint fire" option to the shade that I would like... but not the burn animation for opening and closing windows [04:27] i am a newbie to linux [04:27] sainzo_: well thats better cause vmware server cost some clamshells... is the emulation pretty decent? [04:28] the_nakaii: I hope you like it :D [04:28] wjat is slip stream? [04:28] i run a mac machine [04:28] helpyhelperton: vmware server is actually free now as well - i believe virtualbox is much faster than vmware though [04:28] what is slipstream? [04:28] helpyhelperton, virtualbox is great, really fast [04:28] WindowsSux: when you integrate service packs and patches onto a Windows installation CD [04:28] i didn't know it went free... [04:28] that's great news...

I have connectivity -- I'm chatting on it right now :) [04:29] WindowSux: if that's not the context you were interested, then clarify [04:29] kae: yeah, you're just required to register in order to get a serial - but no money [04:29] Jordan_U: Thanks ... I think we should clone your DNA..and then inject your smart cells into the population [04:29] hi anyone know, how i do to syncrozid 2 directorys? [04:29] great :] [04:29] I share my broadband connection with many others. I wish to 'throttle' my connection so when I download, I don't steal all the bandwidth (and generate all the whining). How might I got about doing that? (Gutsy) [04:29] sainzeo_: I though that was just for the player [04:29] Can anyone help with setting up PEAP for wireless? [04:29] I have a powermac G4 desktop [04:29] the_nakaii: please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation, it makes it hard for us to read/solve your problem [04:29] I just get these intermittent invalid cryptos and downloads are little slower than in win2003 [04:30] cleit0n: between two computers? [04:30] helpyhelperton: vmware server? no, vmware server is now free, and has been for a bit now [04:30] I can't get OSX to install so I am trying out Linux [04:30] sainzeo_: Cool, well I will give virtualbox a run, had problems with vmware on ubuntu, I guess a known bug of some kind. [04:30] helpyhelperton: sounds good - i'm sure you'll enjoy virtualbox much better anywhoo [04:31] sandaru1: no same HD.. [04:31] Does the Ubuntu DVD image contain all of main and restricted? [04:31] Or at least point me in the right direction for setting up PEAP [04:31] CochiseIRL: sweet [04:31] cleit0n: use symlinks [04:31] oh okay guess i'm new to irc too [04:31] Jordan_U_: main and restricted what? repositories? yes. you have to enable them yourself though [04:32] hey guys, i don't know if my processor is 64 bit capable, how can i know that? [04:32] helpyhelperton, there is a virtualbox repo for ubuntu too so it'll auto update to the newest visit there site and you'll get instructions for adding it [04:32] Jordan_U: Wait a minute.. you don't know everything?? [04:32] i didn't know that the use of the enter key was a no-no [04:32] kae, whats the processor? [04:32] cleit0n: then there will be one directory but two paths to access it [04:32] sandaru1: i will try tkx [04:32] CochiseIRL: I'll have to do that once I reboot, somehow I ended up in XP on last reboot [04:32] intel core2duo e2140 [04:32] cleit0n: ln -s /path/old /path/new [04:32] CONSPIRACY I TELL U [04:32] floresc8, Not sure if there is an easier way but check out http://www.oreillynet.com/etel/blog/2004/03/peap_support_on_linux_with_xsu.html [04:32] 88% of my memory is being used by programs, but I cannot see why... gnome-system-monitor shows no intensive processes... [04:33] the_nakaii: lol, it's not a no-no... it's just that now your one question is spread throughout all the messages :) just trying to make it easier for us to help you [04:33] kae, i think it is [04:33] sandaru1: no, i need real files [04:33] haha, i didn't know that, i always run 32bit things... [04:33] if using gutsy, will installing the package kde4base-dev get you the latest beta of KDE 4 or just the beta that was around when gutsy was released? [04:33] i'll get a 64bit version of ubuntu and test it here then [04:33] Hey is anyone using E in gutsy? [04:34] Hi! Is there anything like "English language grammar checker" in Ubuntu? [04:34] kae, i have a 64-bit processor, an amd and i always run 32-bit [04:34] My mac G4 runs a 400MHz single processor and has a full gig of RAM [04:34] helpyhelperton: I did a while ago, but I didn't like it as much as gnome... why? [04:34] <-- 64-bit processor running 32-bit [04:34] helpyhelperton, i used, i liked it alot but since i installed gutsy i just stuck with gnome [04:34] cleit0n: there will be some proper sync solutions for that then. i'm not familiar with those. however, you'll be able to use a cron job and do a workaround [04:34] Vovk: Just wanted to check it out at some point, see what others thought, I have heard it looks alot better? [04:34] oh, but wouldn't it be better if we installed a 64bit version? [04:34] <--- quad core/4gigs ram on order [04:35] kae: in theory but no [04:35] Jordan_U_: thats some old stuff, does it still apply to gutsy? [04:35] kae, yeah but java, flash and wine have issues on x64 [04:35] oooohhh [04:35] floresc8, I don't know, sorry [04:35] i think i'll stay 32bit so :P [04:35] helpyhelperton: I can see why others would like it alot. in my opinion, it is not as shiney as Compiz... but it's worth trying out. make sure to get E17 if you want the eyecandy [04:35] kae: Yah I tried the 64-bit route in edgy... big mistake [04:35] Hey is anyone using E in gutsy? <- E is for enlightenment? [04:35] kae: yes [04:35] kae, yup [04:36] for some reason i can't upgrade to Gutsy Gibbon and make it boot after the upgrade install. won't even run as a livecd I've tried that too [04:36] i didn't tried to install in gutsy yet... [04:36] Can anyone help me figure out why 88% of my memory is in use when it shouldn' [04:36] t be? [04:36] i have a centrino duo x64 laptop, but i only run x86 version os' on it [04:36] Vovk: Im thinking maybe I'll get virtual box running and try it in a virtual environment first.. compiz fusion is doing me justice in gnome right now [04:36] Jordan_U_:ok, well I'll give it a try, thank you! [04:36] kae: Yes [04:36] helpyhelperton: there is really no need, they can run side by side and you can switch them by logging out and logging back in. [04:37] floresc8, Not really a tutorial but this might be a usefull reference: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/107321 [04:37] I even went to the trouble to find the PPC versions of Ubuntu [04:37] kae: E is for enlightenment [04:37] * BunneH- moos loudly [04:37] the_nakaii, What model Mac do you have? [04:37] anyone know why the ubuntu livecd locks up during its boot? trying to use it on an ibm thinkpad a22e. [04:37] helpyhelperton: i got compiz fusion installed with gnome on a old p4 2.something ghz laptop 128m graphics card, does great [04:37] helpyhelperton: in fact, you can install it, and only use it when you feel like it, using compiz for the rest of the time [04:37] hello all [04:37] i love enlightenment, but it was so complicated to get it (e17) installed [04:37] DShepherd: hello [04:38] and it took many hours... [04:38] kae: there is this nice little easy_e17.sh that makes it simple [04:38] PokerfacePenguin: Yah I was surprised at how well it runs on older gfx cards myself [04:38] yeah, i used that script :P [04:38] i had the same kind of ordeal [04:38] but i was glad I tried it [04:38] I have an AGP Graphics tower [04:38] kae, try out gOS its based on ubuntu and enlightment [04:38] <-- shamed of his AGP card as well [04:38] Okay so I just tried burning the disk again at the lowest speed possible and it's still not appearing when I put the disk in while booted into feisty. Can someone please help me troubleshoot this CDROM not working problem? === BunneH- is now known as cens0red` [04:39] gOS, is it a distro? [04:39] oh yeah, I saw that... you had the enlightenment window manager running under gnome DE [04:39] yes it is kae [04:39] kae, yup [04:39] kae: yes it is a distro very new [04:39] Ive had some issues with gOS live cd's on several of my machines. :( - when it did work . it looked 'useable' :) [04:39] based on ubuntu [04:39] great, i'll try it :] [04:39] Jordan_U_: yeah I read that whole thing yesterday, I did change wpa_supplicant.conf to reflect what works on windows and mac, but still no go with that setup [04:39] kae, It's the distro being used in the Walmart PC's [04:39] i wanted to get the elive cd, but it has to donate and i have no way to pay them :s [04:39] eew... wallmart lol [04:39] kae, best bet is to try it out in virtualbox [04:39] They dont even have their website up yet, but they have attracted alot of attention [04:40] helpyhelperton: i never fooled with it cuz i always thought it was above my hardware, quite surprising. haven't tried it with kde yet, thats next :) [04:40] helpyhelperton: or maybe something lighter even [04:40] I tried elive, it was OK but so lacking [04:40] its not a bad distro for first offering and its nice and simple. fluxbuntu is pretty good too [04:40] actually, I find E to be very light, it uses 2D effects instead of the 3D composting effects of compiz [04:40] Okay that's great everyone jumps in with advice and then no one responds when it's clear the advice didn't work [04:41] kae: If you want it, pop into the channel and message the owner he will give you a direct link if he is feeling kind :p [04:41] This Mac is eight years old and still runs faster than my wifes brandnew HP [04:41] woah, that's very kind :) [04:41] davubunt1: bad downloaded data [04:41] PokerFacePenguin: I was messing with beryl for a while before compiz fusion and I never had trouble with it.. Im kinda sad they lost the name Beryl though because I found a street called Beryl and I felt oh so special [04:41] define faster [04:41] ;o [04:41] davubunt1: that is a classic example of why FTP sucks [04:41] the_nakaii: have you tried this? http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-148617.html [04:41] thank you very much, guys... [04:42] sfire are you there? [04:42] sfire: okay first of all the disk works in my other machine [04:42] i've got an issue with trying to boot the ubuntu livecd (version 7.10) on a thinkpad 122e. when going text-only install, it displays a line like this (mind the spelling): [04:42] acpi: pci interupt 0000:00:003.11[a] ->link [lnkc] ->gsi 11 (level low) ->irq 11 [04:42] robotoworks: yes.. the link took me away from your site [04:42] and then it just stops, and sits there.

[04:43] helpyhelperton: I have tried DVDs in this drive too [04:43] you discovered how to lose virginity? oh please, tell us the secret! [04:43] kae: keep it family-friendly, please (and work-safe) [04:43] ?md5 [04:43] bwahaha... going on bash [04:43] kae, to get the iso of gOS by the way you have to use torrents [04:43] helpyhelperton: you'll have to lert me in on your secret code... OIC? [04:43] davubunt1: hmm well if the drive no longer plays ANY cd at all... [04:43] that's no problem :] [04:43] kae: losing my virginity was the worst sexual experience of my life. my first attempt at instlaling linux (gentoo CLI) was the worst install of anything in my life. simile++ [04:43] davbunt1: OIC = Oh I See === Apis is now known as Apap [04:44] lol! === Apap is now known as Apan [04:44] dDAVUbuntu1 I use IsoRecorder in my wifes HP running XP tho you can get a version for Vista You can set IsoRecorder burn speed to !X [04:44] It plays one DVD I have but not another [04:44] my worst experience was the time i shot on my shirt jacking off. ubuntu 5.10 installed right the first time [04:44] I have tried multiple CDs differnt brands and they are not coming up [04:44] I have tried lowest speed burn [04:44] 1x i mean === Apan is now known as Apa [04:44] Both disks work in my other machines but not this one [04:44] sketchylaptop: was it a black dress shirt? [04:45] <-managed that.

[04:45] davubunt1: Man I don't know sounds like your drive is playing hardball [04:45] user_: are you using compiz? what version of ubuntu are you using? have you tried disabling all desktop effects? [04:45] anyone know if 7.10 is buggy? [04:46] davubunt1: It is possible sure... can you try to put another drive in to make sure it isn't the drive? [04:46] the_nakaii, it seems to have its ups and downs [04:46] the_nakaii: it has it's bugs, but I have run into very few of them... there might be different ones for mac tho [04:46] im actually using Xubuntu the latest version [04:46] davubunt1, you're inserting a cd in your ubuntu box and the cd doesn't work, but it works in other computers? what are the other computers it works in? is it only for data cds (burnt isos)? [04:46] the_nakaii: i've been running 7.10 even before it was officially released and haven't had any problem, but i'm sure there are as there usually is in any OS [04:46] helpyhelperton: is your screen name ironic or satirical? [04:46] tomd: my other machine is already upgraded to gutsy [04:47] I burnt and ran the disk in my gutsy laptop and it worked [04:47] davubunt1: and what kind of cd are you putting in? [04:47] davubunt1: is this the new cd that you burnt at a lower speed? [04:47] davubunt1: Well it was meant to be both, which is also ironic, which is also satirical... it could keep going on into infinity [04:47] Hey fella's anyone know how to get my laptop fan working again. I only notied it hasn't kicked in after the laptop has started to melt to my legs. [04:47] Vovk: it was burnt at the lowest speed possible 4.7 [04:48] Lotacus saw a laptop the other day had lint in the fan - that kept it from running. [04:48] davubunt1: strange... and you're sure your bios support it? [04:48] davubunt1: I was asking if you could take a drive from another computer and put it into the one with the problem and see if that drive would boot it [04:48] I used the mac version of 7.10 both as a burnt livecd and as an upgrade from a new install of 7.04. it won't even boot the live cd and the upgrade wont boot after install tho 7.04 runs just great! Go figure! [04:48] tomd: if you mean the brand it's a maxwell. But I tried an imation and that isn't working either [04:48] davbuntu1: also, try doing this dd if=/dev/yourdrive of=file to see if you can read from the drive?, also, are you sure you have proper permissions to the drive? [04:48] dav: i mean is it like data or audio [04:48] helpyhelperton: it's a laptop... no [04:48] Lotacus: Man my CPU fan never startsup anymore it takes about 30 seconds of being in the os for it to start.. I feel your pain... although my desktop does not sit on my lap... [04:48] davbuntu: you're not able to mount the drive? [04:49] well I would have concidered that IF the laptop was kept in a dirty state, however, only rebooting fixes the problem. I had this same problem before when my laptop stays on for an extended period of time running Ubuntu [04:49] davubunt1: Oh maybe I glazed over that tiny shred of critical data... [04:49] tomd: correct... well it doesn't mount automatically like it does on the other machines [04:49] where do i go to find a workaround for 7.10? [04:49] the_nakaii: try the alternate install cd [04:49] helpyhelperton: easy to do :) [04:50] davubunt1: so it is a data cd, and the problem is it doesnt do it automatically? have you tried mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt ? (as root) [04:50] how long will ubuntu support 7.04? [04:50] the_nakaii: 2009 [04:50] the CD was burnt with gutsy from an iso it's a liveCD for gutsy [04:50] davubunt1: what is the device name of your drive? [04:50] tomd: no I haven't tried that command [04:51] tomd: I don't know [04:51] http://www.thinkgos.com/ [04:51] anyone know if there is a way to use a firewire camera as a webcam in flash? [04:51] tomd: how do I determine that [04:51] I'm trying to connect my Treo 700w to my Ubuntu for syncing to Evolution. I've followed all the instructions online but I've come across the problem of Ubuntu not recognizing my Treo as a usb device. [04:51] gOS site is up :] [04:51] =] [04:51] VovK thanks but what makes you think that will work? Don't misunderstand I will try it [04:51] davubunt1: get down with the ubuntu manual on drives man... its probably /dev/scd0 or /dev/scd1 if you're using ide-scsi or if you have a scsi drive [04:51] When I do a lsusb it doesn't show up, when I put my thumbdrive I get something in the lsusb. Any suggestions? [04:51] davubunt1: You are trying to install Gutsy right? I just want to make sure that if that is the case you set the drive to be in the first boot order in BIOS [04:51] the_nakaii: the alternate install cd often works when the live CD doesn't... it just does ( I can't explain it ) [04:52] helpyhelperton: yes I'm trying to install gutsy over feisty on a laptop. yes I checked boot order [04:52] davubunt1, google the mount command, read a how to on mounting cd's, or read the man page for mount.. your basic command is mount -t iso9660 /dev/yourcdrom /mnt/yourmountpoint ... where iso9660 is the fs type [04:52] I just got a Cingular Wireless Broadband card... has anyone had any luck getting it to work [04:52] it sounds to me like you should be able to mount it with the command [04:53] the_nakaii: for instance, i was trying to install Xubuntu on a very old dell. it would boot to the live desktop, but the installer wouldn't work. So I tried the alternate CD and it worked like a dream [04:53] thanks VovK firing up the pc and i am off to the alternat install land! Thanks again Vovk let u know if it works for me [04:53] tomd: do I need to do that when it mounts a DVD I have fine? [04:53] the_nakaii: yw [04:53] I have a movie DVD and it mounts and starts playing the movie straight away [04:54] davubunt1: if its a dvd movie, it probably will just read data.. it usually only mounts the drive when there is a filesystem you'd want to browse on it, although I might be wrong.. [04:54] And if it's an iso? [04:54] it should probably mount the iso, youd want to use the command I showed you. [04:54] !show [04:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about show - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:55] something about your drive in't alerting hotplug to the presence of a cd in it or whatever.. try looking at dmesg and see if there is any garbage in it [04:56] tomd: i don't understand that last bit [04:56] Hello guys. I'm trying to run "show ip bgp" but system says that there's no such command& also I can't find a package with 'show' inside. What should I do? [04:56] gOS site is up :] [04:56] ops [04:56] davubunt1: just try this command: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom with a iso data cd in the drive.. make sure you mkdir /mnt/cdrom first [04:56] wrong window [04:56] tomd; I tried the command sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt but it didn't work [04:57] tomd: oh... I 'll try that one [04:57] what is the output of the command when it fails in a brief form [04:57] tomd: dump [04:57] mount: mount point /mnt/cdrom does not exist [04:57] mkdir /mnt/cdrom first [04:57] oh sorry [04:57] lol [04:57] sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom ----- actually [04:57] then do it again [04:58] why don't you try mounting the iso? [04:58] i believe thats what were doing lol [04:58] oh, sorry... lol [04:58] Does the Ubuntu DVD image contain all of main and restricted? [04:58] no medium found [04:58] g'night all [04:58] tomd, Did it give you an error? [04:58] good night :] [04:58] davbuntu1: what does it say when you do ls -l /dev/cdrom [04:59] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-11-14 22:04 /dev/cdrom -> scd0 [04:59] try this: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd1 /mnt/cdrom [04:59] make sure there is a cd in the drive [04:59] mount: special device /dev/scd1 does not exist [05:00] well, this is your last resort before you have a real problem [05:00] put a cd that is known to mount on other boxes in the drive and do sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom and MAKE sure that there is an iso filesystem on it [05:01] if that doesn't work then maybe your drive bit the dust... [05:01] Well.. You dont normally use /dev/sdc1 for a cd. it would be /dev/sdc or whatever. :) and the mountpoint MUST exist beforhand. [05:01] Do I need to do that when I put the disk in my other machine nautilus opens a window showing the filesystem of the diskl [05:01] or am i thinking /dev/sda that may be it. [05:01] Dr_Willis: on his system /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0 [05:01] i never have figured out when/where scd comes into play [05:01] i assumed that since his first command failed, that maybe he had two drives and the cd was in the other... and on my system i have scd0, scd1, so i went with scd1 [05:02] i think scd is for scsi emulation [05:02] \if it's scd0 why did the command you gave me have scd1 instead [05:02] ? [05:02] i think you get sda sdb etc wheny you have authentic scsi [05:02] davubunt1, because i assumed you had the cd in the wrong drive ;-X [05:02] yup since gutsy ubuntu attachs ide drives to an emulated scsi bus [05:02] he could do a 'eject /dev/scd1' and see if it ejects. :) [05:02] Only have one drive [05:02] well, we know he doesn't have that.. so why not try it with scd0 [05:03] davubunt1, do sudo eject /dev/scd0 [05:03] My CDrom under gutsy is hdc and /dev/cdrom -> hdc [05:03] Yep the disk popped out [05:03] whohoo! [05:03] so it's scd0 not scd1 [05:04] do I do that sommand again but change cd1 for scd0 [05:04] and you are sure that the disc has a valid iso filesystem? put in your linux install disc and do sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom [05:04] because we know that the linux disc works [05:04] no, you only have one device /dev/scd0 [05:05] Did it... no medium found [05:05] ok.. there is a problem here. [05:05] Yes... [05:05] :) [05:05] davubunt1: do you have other operating ystems on the computer, that you could test the drive with? [05:05] 1122! [05:05] Just feisty edubuntu [05:05] hi - i'm using (up-to-date) feisty - can I expect any unpleasant surprises if i point my /etc/apt/sources.list at gutsy and dist-upgrade? [05:05] I have a question; I am trying to set my monitor's refresh rate to one higher than one given by default in x server, I am using a NVidia driver (on Gutsy) with a dell monitor, I have tried using modeline generators but they are turning up funky results with (ie) pixel hz too high [05:05] you have 2 ubuntu installs? [05:05] But I have two other machines [05:06] one with edgy and the other with gutsy [05:06] Wow... no matter what people say, I like using Dreamweaver because it is roomier than gedit or nano or vi or whatever... the problem is, my MySQL server in on Ubuntu and Dreamweaver is on Windows. Can I run MySQL on both Windows and Ubuntu accessing the same databases? [05:06] the problem is either a driver issue, kernel support for iso9660 filesystems, or the drive is trash [05:06] or, pebkac. but i hope not [05:06] aum very good question! id also like to know that one [05:07] Well I'd go with the former then because the drive plays this DVD [05:07] I have [05:07] last thing i want is a b0rk3n system [05:07] davubunt1: lsmod | grep isofs what comes up? [05:07] isofs 36284 0 [05:08] iso filesystem support is on... [05:08] I have a question; I am trying to set my monitor's refresh rate to one higher than one given by default in x server, I am using a NVidia driver (on Gutsy) with a dell monitor, I have tried using modeline generators but they are turning up funky results with (ie) pixel hz too high, according to the monitors specifications [05:08] but you cant mount an iso [05:08] but you can play a dvd [05:08] this is very strange [05:08] how do i stop the media player app from running when i insert a dvd into my dvd player [05:08] yes ... I also have an imation dvd that is a data cd which won't auto-mount either [05:09] hello, I did apt-get install apache2, and then /etc/init.d/apache2 start, and it works fine, but I don't know where Apache2 is installed..., but i found /etc/apache2/ and the httpd.conf file is 0bytes, so can someone tell me where the original httpd.conf file is? [05:09] Hey i need some help [05:09] davubunt1: are you sure these arent like dual layer dvd's that require a superdrive [05:09] I just installed ubuntu on my computer and it worked fine that i installed the restricted drivers for my nvidia 6800 video card and when it boots the screen says input not suported [05:09] m0 do find * -name httpd.conf* [05:09] no one will really help you here [05:09] hello everyone [05:09] I tried doing the upgrade using the update manager and I got errors [05:09] Try #linux [05:10] I have no idea about dual layer discs [05:10] how do i stop the media player app from running when i insert a dvd into my dvd player [05:10] it doiesn't say anything about that on the disc [05:10] * orionr I just installed ubuntu on my computer and it worked fine then i installed the restricted drivers for my nvidia 6800 video card and when it boots the screen says input not suported [05:11] help i just notice i can start application 'Update Manager' [05:11] i cant* [05:11] robotoworks: people will help you if they know how to, but saying that no one helps here is rude man [05:11] towlie_: yes, only /etc/apache2/httpd.conf [05:11] robotoworks: please don't scare off people looking for help [05:11] I really don't understand where ubuntu installs apache2 [05:11] orionr: hmm did you try and reconfigure x? [05:12] m0: It installs it in the regular place; what don't you understand? [05:12] helpyhelperton: I guess he thinks people who help get paid :) [05:12] Absolute Noob here dudes: Any other IM software that has Webcam capabilities? or is there an "add-on" for pidgin? [05:12] m0: dpkg -L tells you where each file in a package is located [05:12] m0 so whats the problem ? [05:12] merovingian: amsn, kopete, ekiga [05:12] helphelperton: how do i do that? dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? [05:12] It installed it fine, but why is the httpd.conf 0 bytes and it is working fine with php and all [05:12] how would i go about removing the last 5 characters of a line? suchas 'hello12345', i want just hello left. [05:12] tritium: i tried amsn, its kinda unstable and interface kinda sucky, but will try kopete and ekiga. THANKS!!! :) [05:12] m0: Thats because httpd.conf isn't used. Ubuntu uses the debian style of apache configuration [05:13] merovingian: ekiga is installed by default. [05:13] Flannel: I see, can you tell me what the debian style is [05:13] Flannel, what do you mean ? apache is apache [05:13] tritium: okay. hehe didnt know that... [05:13] m0: serverwide things are in apache2.conf, site-specific things are in their respective /sites-available file, and module specific things are in /mods-available along with their .load files [05:13] davubunt1: something is very wrong, search for your drive model along with the phrase "ubuntu" and something will probably pop up.. if not, maybe file a bug or something [05:14] OKay sorry [05:14] Howdy, I just upgraded to Gutsy recently and now I'm having issues with TCP connections. I'm fairly certain that my box is dropping things I don't want it to drop (for instance, port 22) [05:14] Do you know how I found out what the drive model number is? [05:14] Flannel: ahh [05:14] Flannel: thank you [05:14] any help? [05:15] orionr: did you try to reconfigure x? [05:15] Because my problem is it is stopping me from upgrading. My problem is not that the drive doesn't work... if you get my meaning. [05:15] exaile won't play music, can anyone help? [05:15] helpyhelperton: how do i do that? [05:15] davubunt1: take a drive out of another machine and put it in and then put it back later or something [05:15] Flannel: so they disabled documentroot and made virtual hosts? [05:16] dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [05:16] this is a laptop [05:16] m0: document root is handled per virtual host. You'll find a default site in sites-available, which has its own documentroot [05:16] davubunt1: maybe try to look up by the laptop model and see if you can find any documentation on which drive model they use [05:16] Flannel: so what is sites-enabled for? it looks exactly same as sites-available [05:17] towlie_: The apache config mentions 'debian style' of configuration and.. the other style (monolithic httpd.conf), I don't remembe what that was called exactly [05:17] towlie_: it seems debian separated in into many files so it isn't one big file [05:17] m0: the -enabled direcotries contain symlinks to the files in the -enabled directories. To disable a site, for instance, you remove the symlink. That way you don't have to delete the file to disbale the site/module (check the modules directory and you'll see what I mean) [05:18] Flannel: so the symlinks should be of form 000-default ? === hagabaka` is now known as hagabaka [05:18] m0: Doesn't really matter what you name them [05:18] Is there an IRC channel for Ubuntu themes? [05:19] Flannel: ah, but I thought there could be only 1 site-available (which is default) [05:19] I have a box on my local network and whenever I try to ssh out from it, I get a 30 second timeout. I haven't done anything with DNS, but I'm guessing it's a reverse lookup timeout - -but I don't know what to do about that. first it hangs on debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-8ubuntu1 -- then it hangs on Unknown code krb5 195 [05:19] Flannel: to add more virtual hosts we just create another file? [05:19] m0: However, you don't need to mess with symlinks yourself. a2ensite a2dissite, a2enmod and a2dismod will enable/disable sites/modules, respectively [05:19] anyone has problem running applications 'Add/Remove...' [05:19] Flannel: or we add to that file (default) [05:19] m0: create another file in the -available, then use a2ensite to enable it [05:19] m0 oh well i havent used apache in a while [05:19] m0: no, there can be as many virtualhosts as you want [05:20] or 'update manager' [05:20] robotoworks: #cpmpiz-fusion or #compiz?? [05:20] Flannel: ah nice, so a2ensite will automatically do that for you [05:20] THanx [05:20] I get the same timeout whether I connect with the name or IP address [05:20] well that was highly entertaining. libc broken, libncurses gone, libc didn't wanna install, cats and dogs fighting each other all over the place... [05:20] How do I add things to my kernel options? I'm getting "Could not locate resource region" and then the screen goes black I read i needed to add pci=routeirq to kernel options...but how? [05:22] not bad not bad [05:22] oh I needed to turn off gssapi [05:22] what do i do if i can do 'Add/Remove...' applicaitons [05:22] none of my media players will play music..anyone know the solution? [05:22] or check for updates [05:22] ninnemana: which type of media file? [05:22] mp3 [05:23] Is there any Desktop Icon for Apache ? [05:23] ninnemana: i believe you need to install some gstreamer plugins [05:23] noob69: if you CAN? Isn't that a good thing? [05:23] When I was at windows, I installed wamp, and it had those nice stuff all preconfigured [05:23] ninnemana: or perhaps the ubuntu-restricted-modules [05:23] m0: uh, what would the desktop icon open? it's just a background process. [05:24] Anyone ever experienced a sudden loss of usb ports in linux, its not hardware, still works on another os. [05:24] m0: I tried out wamp but I felt more secure using lamp [05:24] its a bad thing, it means i cant check for latest update [05:24] or install new applications [05:24] noob69: you may need to check the repositories you have enabled [05:24] noob69: can you try sudo apt-get update in a terminal [05:24] I don't suppose anyone uses emacs in here? I'm terrible with making it run commands in .emacs [05:25] Hi guys. Is there any software in Ubuntu like in Windows FINEPRINT. My printer is working, but i cant set the printing settings and its printing everything out in full colour/full black, rather than grayscale, i tried the scripts provided on forums, but its not working [05:25] oh boy, ubuntu has an option to install LAMP preconfigred? [05:25] m0: Yes sir [05:26] m0: hold on I have a link for you... [05:26] how much configuration does it need [05:26] sainzeo_: the strange thing is that it's not a fresh install, it just stopped working like something got removed [05:26] yes i can do sudo apt-get update at terminal [05:26] Hello is anyone here running dual monitors? [05:26] m0: yes, plus DNS, fileserver, etc. [05:26] helpyhelperton: I am seeing screenshots, they went to Ubuntu Software in startup or something [05:26] tonyyarusso: eh :x I was doing that myself :/ [05:26] got my wireless up! [05:26] Guess - what after 2 days i finally got ubuntu working on dual boot [05:26] how hard is apt-get install bind, samba, apache, php, etc [05:26] but I need some help with this page : http://www.davehayes.org/2007/04/27/howto-reaper-on-ubuntu-linux-with-wineasio/ [05:26] ninnemana: so you're saying that it had been working fine previously? [05:27] yes [05:27] m0: You'll need the "Server install CD" [05:27] hi [05:27] what should i do next with my installation [05:27] m0: then it's just a matter of checkboxes [05:27] tonyyarusso: that explains it, I installed it using the cd ubuntu provided for me [05:27] i find alternate install more useful [05:27] http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_debian_lamp_server or http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu704 [05:27] m0: yeah, it's possible with that, but not as easy [05:27] is there a way to install libssl0.9.7 in gutsy? [05:27] helpyhelperton: there's one for 7.10 now on htf I think. [05:27] you think i should de-install ubuntu-desktop from server and reinstall it again [05:27] i love lamp [05:28] helpyhelperton: howtoforge has some bad howtos. Theres a perfectly good ubuntu one too [05:28] how easy is it to install lamp on ubuntu ?/ [05:28] m0: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP [05:28] tonyyarusso: yeah probably [05:28] without server cd [05:28] I am running dual monitors and when i first set it up the menu bar on the top only spaned onle monitor now it is spanning two. Does anyone know how to fix this? [05:28] m0: Super easy. Follow that guide, you'll be up and running [05:28] m0: you may use this for running multiple sites? http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/412 [05:28] m0: Very. I've installed bunches of server stuff on my laptop for testing. [05:28] how do I know if the newest wine and stuff? the guide says not to use synaptic but to install in terminal [05:28] ninnemana: i'm not exactly sure...i guess i would just make sure that the gstreamer stuff is installed still and the ubuntu-restricted stuff [05:28] Flannel: alright I guess I have to uninstall my apache and php :/ [05:28] m0: No, they're part of it. [05:29] Thanks flannel I'll add that to del.icio.us [05:29] pipelineaudio: go to winehq go to getwine and follow the instruction for ubuntu [05:29] u know the name for the gstreamer plugins off hand? [05:29] ok [05:29] I saw those $100 laptops here at the conference. [05:29] Flannel: but I did apt-get install apache2, so I dont' have to uninstall it? [05:29] pipelineaudio: winehq.com that is [05:29] m0: "LAMP" is just a conglomeration of programs/utilities [05:29] the green ones [05:29] m0: No. Just skip the steps in that howto that you've already done. (Your first command will be to intsall apache2) [05:30] ninnemana: GStreamer extra plugins or Ubuntu restricted extras - located in Add/Remove [05:30] anyone has suggestion on how to fix problem [05:30] how can I read some of the bugs that my grub says when it's booting that go too fat [05:30] alright brb, let me do this === offipso is now known as hmmm [05:31] noob69: hmm I don't know how to fix that.. I guess you could just use the command line instead of going through synaptic [05:32] I second KI4IKL's question - how can you read all the stuff that flies up the screen so fast - is there a log you can access? [05:32] is there a way to install libssl0.9.7 in gutsy? [05:32] hi,who use the Netbeans with J2ME in ubuntu ? sun_java_wireless_toolkit can't run a phone [05:32] KI4IKL: You mean Ubuntu, probably. Check your system log [05:32] What does LAMP stack mean? [05:33] adastra23: /var/log/syslog [05:33] m0: Linux Apache Mysql Perl/PHP/Python [05:33] thanks. [05:33] yea i know what LAMP but what does stack next to it mean? [05:33] LAMP = Linux Apache MySQL PHP [05:33] Uhm anyone here uses nrg2iso converter tool for linux? I have a question to ask regarding package missing.. [05:33] I know :) but why they said "stack" [05:33] m0: stack meaning that stack of software? [05:33] m0: ((Perl/PHP/Python on_top_of Apache), Mysql) on_top_of Linux [05:33] sudo tasksel install lamp-server [05:34] hello #ubuntu. I have a stupid question that I would like a !answer to. The software update applet is yelling at me about the software that I am about to update that CAN'T BE AUTHENTICATED!, which I gather is not supposed to happen. However, I am using the standard Ubuntu repositories [05:36] heya how can i install virtual machine to run windows xp [05:36] vmware [05:36] !vmware [05:36] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [05:36] I have searched the "CommonQuestions" on your the wiki for anything about "auth", there's nothing there [05:36] xivanari: www.virtualbox.org [05:36] im a major ubuntu newbie and somehow formatted my whole drive and it didnt keep partitioned so my windows died. [05:36] xivanari: ^^ [05:36] thanks a ton [05:37] i just did a sudo apt-get upgrade command [05:37] xivanari: download the DEB for your ubuntu system and you should be good to go [05:37] Uhm anyone could recommend me a good NRG to ISO Converter for Ubunto? [05:37] and gave me an error says 'Segmentation fault (core dumped) [05:37] yes. the ubuntu installer has definitely gone downhill ever since they removed gparted [05:37] well it didnt even really warn me [05:37] just formatted my drive [05:37] i mean, there's no simpler way to set up partitions than gparted [05:37] and really rather fast. [05:37] yes [05:37] and it just completely formatted my whole drive [05:38] noob69: generally you do a apt-get update then an apt-get upgrade [05:38] i was like... uhh... wtf? [05:38] actually, if you had realized what it was doing and not done anything [05:38] For a 512 MB machine do I need to increase memory limit of php if it is just a testing station? [05:38] then it might have been recoverable [05:38] noob69: hmmbeats me [05:38] hey guys, gutsy is being difficult [05:38] all it does to initialize your drive is write the ext3 superblock [05:38] oxyrosis: why whats wrong [05:38] well i backed up my drive completely [05:38] so all my data is there [05:38] well, i upgraded to gutsy adn now my sound is out of commision [05:38] your ntfs should be recoverable even after being initialized [05:39] but i backed it up using a simpletech external one button backup hdd [05:39] and ubuntu doesnt read the .exe required to install the program that allows me to restore all my dada! [05:39] data [05:39] oxyrosis: yeah my sound is gone too [05:39] well shait [05:39] Status of somebody knowing how to get rid of the CAN'T BE AUTHENICATED! issue with the package manager: [05:39] i dont even have my music yet [05:39] :S [05:39] xivanari: can you mount the drive? [05:40] i heard of a .deb file that repairs it on a post in the forum, anyone have it? [05:40] UHm guys, anyone can recommend me a good Torrent downloader and a NRG to ISO Converter for Ubunto?? Help pls ._. [05:40] xivanari: oh, if it's wiped then you may have trouble getting any of it back [05:40] Rinkaru: KTorrent, don't know of a converter but i can look [05:41] is that a no? [05:41] lockd, i found one already, its NRG2ISO but im having a hard time installing it. [05:41] xivanari: hmm yah thats not good... [05:41] how can i mount the drive lockd [05:41] lockd: i think that he backed it all up to an external hdd [05:41] i mean i have full access to the drive [05:41] rinkaru: if the default torrent downloader installed with ubuntu isn't good enough for you, try deluge [05:41] Rinkaru: that's what i was about to suggest [05:41] i backed it up onto an external yes [05:41] but it was backed up using a program [05:41] there's a default torrent downloader? i cant seem to find it [05:41] never tried deluge personally [05:41] Hello guys.... i need to know > how to get beryl or compriz im using ubuntu 7.10 ( im new) i searched for beryl in the package manager but coudnt find anything. THANK YOU [05:41] and i need to install this program with a exe file in order to be able to restore all the info [05:41] xivanari: ok good so you want to run a virtual box to install the program to get the data back [05:41] nrgs are hard. but theres some linux program (iat?) and some other programs that can deal with them [05:42] exactly! [05:42] oh there nevermind bout the torrent. Anyway about on NRG2ISO [05:42] how do i do this. [05:42] Rinkaru: last i checked ubuntu came with some torrent program *shrug* [05:42] can someone give me a hand with a power management issue? [05:42] i dont even know how to install things that well :S [05:42] whabo: compiz-fusion is the new eyecandy for 7.10 [05:42] xivanari: yeah but it can probably still be mounted. do a google for mount linux and see what it turns up? [05:42] i thought it came with azureus [05:42] maybe it doesnt any more. Deluge is an excellent, lightweight torrent downloader [05:42] I need help with wine can anyone help me? [05:42] helpyhelperton: xivanari: that could even work? virtualbox doesn't seem to work with real drives [05:42] I am trying to understand why compiz will run on my Thinkpad t42 (Pentium M 1.7, 1.5 gig RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 32MB) but not on my Evo n610c (Pentium 4 M, 2.4,1 gig RAM and the exact same video)...is it the extra 512 RAM in the Thinkpad? [05:42] i just downloaded it but when im about to do sudo apt-get install nrg2iso it says an error "E: package not found nrg2iso" [05:42] Hello guys.... i need to know > how to get beryl or compriz im using ubuntu 7.10 ( im new) i searched for beryl in the package manager but coudnt find anything. THANK YOU [05:42] whabo: read my post? [05:43] whabo, 7.10 comes with compiz [05:43] no ideas on repairing my sound? [05:43] helpyhelperton: how do i run a virtual box [05:43] can anyone help me with wne? [05:43] lockd: never tried virtualbox yet... [05:43] brandon, whats up? [05:43] Rinkaru: it's working for me, BUT i use kubuntu [05:43] hey i actually got wine earlier [05:43] but it doesnt work at all [05:43] helpyhelperton: how do i get it please? thank you [05:43] crashes my system [05:43] xivanari, did you get it from winehq? [05:43] xivanari: you have to install it. VMware is one ive used in xp but i hear vitruualbox is better [05:44] whabo: do you have nvidia?? [05:44] thanks guys [05:44] well I tried downloading steam this weak and when I went to go in it said I needed wine gecko and Ive been looking and looking and can't seem to find anything on the subject [05:44] heya folks sorry [05:44] helpyhelperton: no i have ATI [05:44] sainzeo_: i have the gstreamer and ubuntu restricted extras installed, any other ideas? [05:44] see i just tried to uninstall wine [05:44] xivanari: are you dualbooting or did you wipe your mian drive and switch over completely [05:44] and it just force logged me out [05:44] brandon, open a terminal [05:44] xipietotec: are you sure a windows program can even restore the data? [05:44] i wiped and switched === marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_- [05:45] wiped will generally, like, wipe [05:45] alright [05:45] yea. [05:45] i am positive the windows program will restore the data [05:45] it actually has an autoextractor in a .exe format [05:45] Hey where is the option in compizconfig settings manager to let me set like a corner of my screen to display everyhing that i have open when i mouse ever it? [05:45] whabo: ok are the drivers updated? I don't know too much about the ATI situation... hold on let me find the command to get you the compiz manager... [05:45] is there still a "special partition" somewhere hidden? [05:45] so if i can just get something that will allow me to open a .exe than i will be able to use the restore option [05:46] so how do i do that [05:46] xivanari: what i'm saying, is did you leave the special partition it uses? or is this an external drive you never wiped? [05:46] xivanari: you can probably mount your external hard drive with linux, this would be an easier option [05:46] xlockd: he has it backed up on a safe unwiped external [05:46] the backup is on an external drive i never wiped [05:46] helpyhelperton: yes drivers are fine everything working perfectly. [05:46] like lockd is saying [05:46] but i think you confused him === Tomek- is now known as Tomek [05:46] brandon, run wine: iexplore http://www.winehq.org [05:46] tomd i dont know what mounting a drive is. [05:46] brandon, that will install gecko [05:46] i can access the hard drive perfectly fine right now [05:46] ~_~ [05:46] that isnt the problem [05:47] * databuddy sighs [05:47] anyone good with virtualbox? [05:47] it has a .exe file that i have to be able to run to restore the data [05:47] databuddy, whats up? [05:47] xivanari: mounting a drive is equivalent to going into my computer on windows and clicking D: or C: kind of.. except you put all the drive contents in a tree under a directory.. [05:47] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager [05:47] cant seem to get vbox to see my usb drive :< [05:47] technically my cell phone [05:47] okay, drive is mounted, it's in a proprietary windows-only archive format? [05:47] so instead of going to D:\ to get your stuff youll go to /mnt/yourdrive/yourstuff1 .. yourstuff2 ... yourstuff.. [05:47] problem is tho ive done the usual usb fixes the windows doesnt have any usb devices/ [05:47] ? [05:47] nor does the settings etc [05:48] just ntfs [05:48] databuddy, i have the same problem, cant help you im afraid [05:48] Its getting weird. My Firefox always shuts down from time to time. -.-" [05:48] dammit. [05:48] Rinkaru try changing your theme [05:48] sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager ?? was this for me? [05:48] xivanari: or are the backup files hidden somewhere.. [05:48] they are not hidden somewhere [05:48] hey how do I find my current group ?> [05:48] whabo: yes sorry [05:48] xivanari: what kind of external hard drive do you have [05:48] they were compressed and put into different weird files [05:48] my login name is m0 [05:48] but how do I find my group ? [05:48] i have a simpleTech one button backup external 250gb [05:48] thank you [05:48] xivanari: extension name of the files? [05:49] lockd extension name .nbz [05:49] lockd: Did he say what program he used to backup [05:49] no [05:49] but the uQuickRestore.exe is the thing i need to use to access all those [05:49] i used TotalMedia backup and record for PC [05:50] looking up .nbz [05:50] lockd: on it too [05:50] the .nbz files arent named properly though [05:50] do the jacklab guys make libjack? [05:50] and qjackctl? [05:50] xivanari: aren't named properly? [05:50] wow [05:51] no they are named ,like ArcNB1.NBZ [05:51] the debian apache thing is cool [05:51] xivanari: ah, proprietary compression [05:51] xivanari: they are an archive, they won't be named the same [05:51] I can do localhost/~user as well [05:51] lockd: hellanzb?? [05:51] yes. [05:51] and yes. [05:51] I need to find the newest libjack and Im dounting its in synaptic [05:51] also, i would like to be able to use a MSN messenger client that will actually allow me to use my webcam [05:51] but i dont know if my webcam is even compatible yet [05:52] logitech fusion webcam [05:52] xivanari: do you have access to another computer? [05:52] xivanari, try amsn [05:52] xivanari: file one of them [05:52] tomd i do not [05:52] thanks CochiseIRL [05:52] xivanari: use another computer to convert to a .tar.bz2 or so [05:52] lockd file one of what? [05:52] lockd i dont have another computer. [05:52] xivanari: file one of the nbz files [05:52] xivanari lockd: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nzb-par-and-unrar-all-in-one-using-hellanzb.html ? [05:52] hello, I got a problem with my firefox/flash isntallation: sometimes it just hangs there. Doesn't let me do anything. I think it has to do with flash, for example, when in http://lernu.net/ I click on a link to hear a sound (which uses flash) this happens. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks. [05:52] xivanari, if the fonts are funny on amsn check the forums for a script for installing it [05:53] xivanari: what helpy said [05:53] andresj: Flash for Linux and Firefox can be an unstable combination... if you don't want to use Gnash (and you probably don't, it's not that great yet) then you'll just have to live with it I guess. [05:53] still interested what 'file' says those .nbz files are [05:53] lockd: but I think it may be good for him to have xp in virtual box in case he needs it for other things??? [05:54] cmd10, yeah... but I remember that this worked before (not sure when, because didn't try it right away). [05:54] I mean cdm [05:54] I mean cdm10 [05:54] lockd: especially if the file is in a strange proprietary format [05:54] :) [05:54] helpyhelperton: yes, that's always a good idea [05:54] i think i definately will helpyhelperton [05:54] can i run itunes in that? [05:54] if i can than i would really like it. [05:54] thats gonna be the thing i miss the most about windows, which is kinda sad [05:54] xivanari: I have never tried it, but I would think you can [05:54] xivanari: why did you like itunes so much? [05:54] xivanari: have you tried any of the Linux music players? [05:54] yeah, it should definitely be runnable [05:54] apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName [05:55] but with an iPod, probably NOT [05:55] cdm10: which player do you like best for linux? [05:55] andresj: hmm, i'm not sure... [05:55] helpyhelperton: I use Rhythmbox [05:55] m0, thats normal just ignore that [05:55] hi everyone [05:55] Ubuntupwns: thanks [05:55] cdm10: i liked the rating system in iTunes. I have 20,000 songs and they were all rated [05:55] m0: Yah I've seen that before....bah i fogret... [05:55] lockd, xivanari: You may actually be able to use an iPod with iTunes in VirtualBox... it's got USB passthrough support. However, I recommend using something native to Linux... [05:56] cdm10: what would you reccommend? [05:56] for iPod support, I'd use RhythmBox [05:56] cdm10: oh right, commercial version of virtualbox [05:56] has anyone had any issues getting a Dell Latitude D640 to recognize and read ubuntu install disks? [05:56] xivanari: I use Rhythmbox. [05:56] but that doesnt work for the ipod does it? [05:56] yup [05:56] xivanari: Exaile is also nice, but it's a little unstable at this point... [05:56] it does [05:56] xivanari: it does [05:56] well than i will stay away from instability [05:56] cdm10: is that the one that uses mysql to store everything [05:56] usb passthrough works for all devices (except mice and stuff like that) [05:56] stability is part of the reason i switched to linux. [05:57] i just have to learn my way around it and i know i will like it [05:57] xivanari: and also, Rhythmbox's ipod support is better than Exaile's [05:57] (things it wouldn't make sense to use) [05:57] /quit [05:57] helpyhelperton: I think Amarok does... [05:57] any have any comments/advice on the whole laptop hard drive load cycle business? I've read so much on it.. I want to put linux on my laptop, and I'd like to stick with Ubuntu [05:57] anyone willing to help me with an install issue?> === crummygummy_ is now known as CrummyGummy [05:57] xivanari: I once noticed really really slow transfer speeds when using it with an iPod though... I really just transfer a few podcasts to it a week, all my albums were transferred long ago from itunes when i lived in windows-land. [05:57] cdm10: ahh, yah that sounds familiar, you prefer rhythmbox over amarok? [05:58] sorry I exited [05:58] !anyone | JML1 [05:58] JML1: 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? [05:58] !ask JML1 [05:58] Sorry, I don't know anything about ask jml1 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:58] helpyhelperton: well, amarok is nice, but it's kde-oriented [05:58] cdm10: Good point. [05:59] cdm10: that will likely be the same case with me and my iPod [05:59] cdm10: But it still works in gnome [05:59] okay i am having some serious trouble downloading and installing this hellanzb [05:59] sorry again lol [05:59] why couldnt they make installs point and click like they have em in windows. [05:59] any one knows wharf the best Linux os out there [05:59] this whole process i have to go through for every install seems a bit silly. [06:00] xivanari: what process? everything I do basically is point and click [06:00] the process of installing any software [06:00] helpyhelperton: yeah, but it's a little weird in Gnome... [06:00] xivanari: which process? [06:00] xivanari: It's cat and mouse really.. after a while you will see how much easier installing is in linux [06:00] !ask I'm having issues getting a Dell Latitude D640 to recognize any ubuntu install disks (5.04,5.1,6.1,7.1), although it can read bootable windows install disks fine, and i've tested the ubuntu disks on other PCS, when i put the ubuntu disk in the laptop, its just cycles and spins for about 5 minutes, then if i go to windows explorer and try to view the contents of the disk, it tells me its an incorrectly formatted disk [06:00] xivanari: going to Add/Remove and checking it off is hard? [06:00] the having to use a packet manager like you do and download many different files and input lines into a CLI [06:00] xivanari: do you use synaptec? [06:00] thats not point and click [06:00] gnome kicks ass [06:00] xivanari: Well, you can always use the point-and-click version :) [06:00] well thus far everything ive gone to download has instructed me to do differently [06:00] xivanari: Applications>Add/Remove [06:01] xivanari: and if it's not there, System>Admin>Synaptic [06:01] xivanari: sure it is.. open synaptec, search what you want, check the box, click install... [06:01] god dangit. [06:01] lol [06:01] xivanari: Add/Remove is easier to use, but Synaptic is more powerful... I'd use Add/Remove unless you find that you need to do something that Synaptic can do. [06:01] yep add/remove is point and click [06:01] xivanari: I use the commandline even though Add/Remove and Synaptic exist... it's just faster for me. [06:01] xivanari .. but sudo apt-get install becomes your friends quick [06:01] helpyhelperton: yeah, definitely :) [06:02] hell yea [06:02] hellanzb wasnt on that list. [06:02] xivanari: And I am a noob... [06:02] HELP. when i go to appearances and check the NORMAL or CUSTOM or EXTRA settings for the visual effects it blanks out for a second then gives me changes cannot be occured. It was set on normal effects before, but now i cant go back. why? THANK you [06:02] I love using the terminal [06:02] what is one the site where people post logs here? [06:02] who misses the days of Debian 2 (Sarge)? lol [06:02] !logs | adastra23 [06:02] adastra23: Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ [06:02] xivanari: right well this is going to be a little more complicated [06:02] how do I open the repositories? [06:02] thanks for all the help folks. [06:02] its like putfile or something [06:03] adastra23: pastebin? [06:03] adastra23: pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org [06:03] yes! [06:03] xivanari: I think your best bet is to try the virtualbox [06:03] thanks. [06:03] ok installing the hellanzb [06:03] alt f2 then gedit /etc/apt/sources.list [06:03] xivanari: atleast thats the easy way out [06:03] HELP. when i go to appearances and check the NORMAL or CUSTOM or EXTRA settings for the visual effects it blanks out for a second then gives me changes cannot be occured. It was set on normal effects before, but now i cant go back. why?

You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience [06:03] is virtualbox the name of one i can search for in synaptic? [06:03] xivanari: virtualbox btw is a little difficult to set up... not THAT difficult, you won't need to use the terminal or anything, but it's not completely straightforward [06:04] xivanari: it should be yes [06:04] xivanari: you can, but there's a better version available at their site [06:04] helpyhelperton: i think he should use the commercial version... [06:04] alright [06:04] but i dont know how to download anything from a site atm [06:04] lol [06:04] your computer might not support compiz [06:04] not and install it [06:04] xivanari: http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [06:04] cdm10: Like I said, I've never tried virtualbox, I always used vmware, but I'm sure your right [06:04] xivanari: just find the i386 one for Ubuntu 7.10, download it to your desktop, and double-click it [06:04] helpyhelperton: well, I use VBox, so yeah :) [06:04] so who is running Ubuntu on a laptop? anyone? [06:05] me [06:05] oooh, mee! [06:05] I'm run ubuntu on a labtop [06:05] okay doing so cdm10 [06:05] xivanari: here's a direct link if you want: http://virtualbox.org/download/1.5.2/virtualbox_1.5.2-25433_Ubuntu_gutsy_i386.deb [06:05] im running ubuntu on my laptop as well [06:05] echosa: I WAS before it got stolen...now I have VISTA, and its my GF's lappy [06:05] i got it, but thank you very much cdm10 [06:05] anyone know how to open the repositories? [06:05] ok, laptop folks, what did you to about the hard drive load cycles thing? [06:05] Morgan555: sorry, what do you mean by open the repositories? [06:05] helpyhelperton: I've got vista currently... looking to get away from it [06:05] Morgan555: someone answered that but there is another way.... [06:05] i am very much enjoying just how much more quickly and smoothly my laptop is running now though [06:05] :D [06:05] Morgan555: do you want to install stuff? add or change repos? [06:05] even the internet is working better.

Just ask your question :) [06:06] !who | JML1 [06:06] JML1: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [06:06] I had a dell WLAN card wit 7.04 I had screws wit ubuntu [06:06] xivanari: A lot of that could be due to other things (spyware, settings,etc inside of windows); fresh installs always make internet seem speedy [06:07] cdm10 thank you [06:07] xivanari: linux has a way of keeping it that way [06:07] !cdm10 : any reason why a Dell D640 laptop wont read an install disk, but other PC's will, something to do with file system? [06:07] cdm10: Thanks for backin me on Morgans question, I'm in XP right now so I couldn't follow up on that [06:08] JML1: Is it set to boot from CD? [06:08] yep [06:08] JML1: Are you sure it is a BOOTABLE burn? [06:08] cdm : i can boot from a windows install disk [06:08] JML1: What sorta error do you get? Could it be the optical drive? [06:08] helpyhelperton: he said it worked on other comps [06:08] i cant enable my normal effects anymore .... :( can anyone please help me? i would love to slide my applications into different desktops.... [06:08] hey y'all, if i added a new service to /etc/event.d how do i force it to reload (since it's not using init & i can't init q) [06:08] JML1: okay... sometimes burned discs don't work so well in some computers. [06:08] cdm10: But that doesn't mean it booted on other pcs [06:08] whabo: do you have your graphics drivers set up? [06:08] cdm : but the windows distros are all cracked copies, burnt disks [06:09] whabo: nvidia card would help ..... [06:09] cdm : all the linux distros i am trying work on other PCS [06:09] hello U-L-nix-ers! [06:09] ive used them to install before [06:09] whabo: if you've got nVidia or ATi, you'll need to install or re-enable the restricted drivers in System>Admin>Restricted Drivers Manager [06:09] its telling me when i try to install virtualbox that it cannot download whatever [06:09] cannot download all required files [06:09] JML1: okay... can the computer read from it, if not boot from it? [06:09] please check your internet connection [06:10] but yet it is clearly working [06:10] xivanari: hold on a sec [06:10] xivanari: clearly [06:10] xivanari: go to System>Admin>Software Sources [06:10] cdm10 : okay hold on thank you.. ill try that [06:10] cdm : if i boot to windows and try to view the disk contents with windows explorer it tells me that the disk is incorrectly formatted [06:10] whabo: lol [06:10] ok there [06:10] JML1: try burning it on a different PC... [06:10] xivanari: hold on a sec [06:10] cdm : but if i take that same disk and put in my Desktop, it reads fine [06:10] ok holding [06:11] i used nero 7 [06:11] i will try burning a copy at work tomorrow [06:11] DML1: Can you explore the disk?? [06:11] JML1: Sometimes, certain PCs have issues reading stuff burned with other specific PCs... just weirdnesses with the optical drive. [06:11] helpyhelperton: no [06:11] I'll try burning at work...is a USB Key an option? [06:11] cdm10: I mean from the other PC to check the file structure [06:11] hi. anyone know what would cause me to get horizontal splitting in are where there is movement and contrast? window edges, videos, etc.. http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/8661/screenshotgu6.png [06:11] i have a 2GB key that will hold the ISO [06:11] oh yknow what i think it was [06:11] i was using synaptic to download hellanzb [06:12] helpyhelperton: he said it boots on other PCs [06:12] JML1: try burning the linux install cd from the computer on which you wish to install linux... that way you know the drive will read the disc properly since it burned it [06:12] i got some errors [06:12] xivanari: oh, yeah, those 2 things can't be going on at the same time... [06:12] yea. [06:12] xivanari: you might want to check synaptics repositories that your pulling form. if you go to synaptic, setting repositories, check the country that its using, (mine says United States [06:12] xivanari: while you're in Sources, make sure main, universe, restricted, and multiverse are all checked off [06:12] echosa : unfortunately, the laptop im trying to install doesnt have a burner (CD/DVD read only) [06:12] there we go working now [06:12] alka_trash: no, he might not... we figured out the issue. [06:12] xivanari: anyway, once it's installed, there's some other stuff you'll have to do [06:13] cdm10: cool [06:13] JML1: ah, well never mind then :-P [06:13] cdm10: i didnt see a place for that in ources. [06:13] and virtualbox isnt installing [06:13] cdm10, helpy, echosa : i will try burning a copy at work tomorrow, and i'll bring my laptop with me, if that doesnt work i'll be back tomorrow night !!! [06:13] THANKS for the help [06:13] xivanari: look in the parentheses at the end of each line in the first tab [06:13] says could not install all dependencies [06:13] JML1: Goodluck! [06:13] ... 1 other thing? [06:13] will ubuntu install via LAN? [06:13] xivanari: in Sources, go to the Ubuntu Software tab and check off the first four checkboxes [06:14] USB stopped working. any help would be appreciated. output of lspci -vvnn http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44587/ [06:14] they are all checked off [06:14] JML1: yes, but you need to set up a netboot server [06:14] were before [06:14] what does some one think of vmware [06:14] Mustang50187: I use VirtualBox [06:14] CDM : thanks, i will research that, im sure i can find instructions on google or digg [06:14] Mustang50187: vmware is ok, I prefer virtualbox [06:14] Mustang: I use it for winxp to boot ultimateubuntu .. had problems installing it on my linux box though [06:14] not sure if this is the right place, but, does anyone know anything about the gRIM plugin on Pidgin? [06:14] vbox is better [06:14] HAHAH it worked THX ALOOTTTT [06:14] still giving me error could not install all dependencies when trying to install virtualbox [06:14] xivanari: okay, first, make sure that all package-management software is completed its task and closed... that means update manager, synaptic, add/remove, sources, etc. [06:15] whabo: drivers?? [06:15] thanks guys or gals [06:15] xivanari: then try it again... [06:15] helpyhelperton: apparently... but he's gone [06:15] okay [06:15] cdm10: blah.. maybe I should go back to xchat or something so I can tell when folks leave [06:15] ok started from the beginning that time [06:15] helpyhelperton: what are you using? [06:15] it would seem as though it is working this time [06:16] cdm10: I don't want to tell you.. you'll laugh [06:16] helpyhelperton: Pidgin/Gaim? [06:16] helpyhelperton: I'm using xchat-gnome [06:16] cdm10: worse.. keep in mind Im in XP right now [06:16] helpyhelperton: ah, chatzilla [06:16] ok virtualbox up and working [06:16] cdm10: cheater [06:16] helpyhelperton: not using mIRC in windows? [06:16] helpyhelperton: you can config that to display join/part messages i think... [06:17] Yeah, Pidgin is basically GAIM from my understanding. [06:17] helpyhelperton: try right-clicking the tab [06:17] ovenmitt85: Yes [06:17] ovenmitt85: that wasn't really what I was talking about, but okay... [06:17] okay virtualbox is installed [06:17] now how do i run windows programs within it [06:17] xivanari: sweet. Now go to System>Admin>Users and Groups [06:18] xivanari: do you have a Windows disc? [06:18] i dont think so [06:18] i have a laptop windows disc i believe [06:18] but thats about the extent of it. [06:18] as this is my laptop and not a desktop [06:18] xivanari: dammit, I just assumed because you were talking about vbox when I came in here that you knew what it was for... [06:18] xivanari: oh, well, any install disc should do the trick [06:18] i do [06:18] alright [06:19] i dont even know if i have that disc tho [06:19] i will have to find it which wont be easyt [06:19] cdm10: as long as its not a restore disc [06:19] and it might have been left with most of my computer stuff back at my parents house when i moved out [06:19] echosa: that might work too, you never know... [06:19] Does the Ubuntu DVD image contain all of main and restricted? [06:19] cdm10: might yeah.. it'd be interesting to know [06:19] can't use oem software [06:19] xivanari: what VBox does is allow you to install any OS in a virtual computer... so you'll end up with a window with a windows desktop in it that you can use to run windows apps. [06:19] ah i see. [06:19] very cool. [06:19] xivanari: Yah that sucks.. I have to break the habit of assuming everyone has a windows install cd sitting next to them... [06:20] but unfortunately pretty useless to me. [06:20] yea... === daniel0815 is now known as dapper-daniel [06:20] xivanari: the new version actually makes the windows a little more integrated... but you still need the OS disc to install. And you need a decent amount of RAM... enough for both OS's combined. [06:20] xivanari: Wine will do what you want, but unlike VirtualBox, it won't work with every Windows app. [06:20] well i have 1gb of ram on this machine [06:20] Does the Ubuntu DVD image contain all of main and restricted? [06:20] well but wine crashes my computer [06:20] xivanari: Wine's a lot easier to install... it's in Add/Remove. [06:20] xivanari: oh... [06:20] forces me to log out very suddenly [06:20] then screws up all the text on the login screen [06:20] makes it huuuuuge [06:20] like size 72 [06:21] xivanari, Are you running a 3D program in wine? [06:21] i am not running anything in wine [06:21] i cannot open wine [06:21] i tried to uninstall wine it crashed my computer [06:21] i tried to configure wine it crashed my computer [06:21] i tried to run wine it crashed my computer :P [06:21] xivanari, How did you try to uninstall it? [06:21] by going apps>wine>uninstall [06:22] xivanari: that doesn't install wine, it just lets you uninstall windows apps from wine... [06:22] xivanari: that's how you uninstall windows apps that you've installed with wine [06:22] xivanari, That doesn't uninstall wine, it uninstalls windows applications you have installed in wine [06:22] echosa: HA, I BEAT YOU! [06:22] echosa: sorry 'bout that :) [06:22] USB stopped working. any help would be appreciated. output of lspci -vvnn http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44587/ what else should I look at? [06:22] alrighty then [06:22] Jordan_U: You are a fountain of enlightenment, is there an easy way to run a windows executable (outside of wine) so that xivanari can extract a backedup .nbz on an external drive [06:22] cdm10: darn.. I"m getting tired lol [06:22] thank you helpyhelperton [06:22] xivanari: in Ubuntu, all uninstallation/installation is done using APT... which means through Add/Remove, synaptic, or terminal commands like apt-get and aptitude. [06:22] alright gotcha. [06:22] cdm10: haha [06:23] xivanari, .nzb, that's a usenet binary, correct? [06:23] xivanari: when you ran wine, what did you run? you have to give wine a windows .exe file to run [06:23] i dont know Jordan_U_ [06:23] echosa: how do i give it an exe file to run? [06:24] xivanari, I think it is, in which case there are Linux apps that can extract it [06:24] xivanari: right-click the EXE, click Open With, go to custom, type wine [06:24] well, lets say you have a windows game to install... put the disc in, browse to it in a command line and type wine install.exe or wine setup.exe or whatever the exe is named [06:24] oWAOIT [06:24] full stop [06:24] wine is working [06:24] Jordan_U: the question is will the APP that he used have a proprietary format that might exclude normal extraction [06:24] w00t! [06:24] :D [06:24] xivanari: lol [06:24] xivanari: or you can just double click the .exe file in the file manager [06:24] xivanari: don't get your hopes up, though... a lot of Windows apps don't work in it. [06:24] xivanari, sudo apt-get install nzb [06:25] xivanari: helps to know how a program works :) lol [06:25] xivanari: cdm10 is correct [06:25] echosa: unfortunately, that doesn't work by default until you do the Open With thing... or at least it didn't on my computer. [06:25] it would be appearing to be working at the moment [06:25] be appearing to be working? [06:25] however it has stopped working as i typed that. [06:25] ouch [06:25] xivanari, You might as well use a native solution [06:25] cdm10: works fine on mine, by default and everything [06:25] so the appearances lied. [06:25] lol [06:25] echosa: ugh, weird... [06:25] oh wait its working [06:25] the suspense is killing me [06:25] xivanari: try Jordan_U's solution [06:26] Oh geez.. Im gonna squirt!! [06:26] xivanari: what are you running in wine? [06:26] helpyhelperton: yeah... but i want to see him get Wine working! [06:26] lol [06:26] Wine needs to ferment a bit longer, by my reckoning. [06:26] livefoniks: quite true :) [06:26] and it does appear to be working [06:26] but it has 60gb worth of data to restore [06:26] and uncompress [06:26] I'll wait untill wine hits 1.0 ;) [06:26] so it will take a bit. [06:26] cdm10: never used wine myself.. i hear too many things don't work.. I think a virtual envirnoment makes more sense anyhow [06:26] heh yea sounds about right livefoniks [06:27] helpyhelperton: it certainly does, except for games [06:27] agreed helpyhelperton if your computer can manage the full environment why not. [06:27] helpyhelperton: and VirtualBox's new Seamless Mode makes it really awesome [06:27] xivanari, I would still trust nzb ( a native linux application ) more than an app running in wine [06:27] can someone help me to get totem working? for some reason i can't play any dvd? [06:27] gksu gconf-editor I accidentally set a key as mandatory instead of default. Now I can not change that key. Unsetting the key makes the edit window editable, but when I click OK, it says "Can't overwrite existing read-only value". How do I fix this? [06:27] hmm okay Jordan_U_ is the name of it actually just nzb? [06:27] xivanari: wait, how were you trying to install hellanzb? [06:27] cdm10: Yeah I remember hearing talk about special virtualized packages that were going to offer options to use the 3d hardware [06:27] xivanari, Yes, "sudo apt-get install nzb" [06:27] xivanari: because it's right here, in the repositories... [06:27] i was trying to install it through synaptic [06:28] helpyhelperton: I think Parallels on the Mac has some sort of 3d support... [06:28] rbrevoort, totem-gstreamer can't play DVD's [06:28] xivanari: and what was happening? [06:28] Jordan_U_: is that a cli command? [06:28] Jordan_U_: Certainly can, with libdvdcss [06:28] xivanari, Yes [06:28] cdm10: i forgt, it gave me some error a the end of its installation [06:28] xivanari: you can of course do it through Synaptic... but the command is easier [06:28] but im being bombarded by errors and frankly getting tired of them lol [06:28] cdm10: That would be balls if they could do it in VM or Virtualbox [06:28] where do find libdvdcss? [06:28] rbrevoort: hold on [06:28] ok [06:29] cdm10, It can't display the menu's, might as well use VLC mplayer etc [06:29] rbrevoort: run this command: < sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh > [06:29] !DVD | rbrevoort [06:29] rbrevoort: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [06:29] Jordan_U_: well, taht's true... [06:29] can i install something using synaptic while having a .exe file open in wine [06:29] xivanari: yep, tehy don't conflict. [06:29] rbrevroot - [06:29] sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [06:29] wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update [06:29] sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [06:29] rbrevoort: you can read that, but my command should just install what you need to play DVDs... but you won't be able to navigate menus. [06:30] chrono13: seriously, no need for medibuntu... one command is all you need. That script is there in /usr/share/doc for a reason. [06:30] Oh [06:30] Sorry [06:30] chrono13: that's fine [06:30] where do i go to use that command cdm10? [06:30] rbrevoort: Applications>Accessories>Terminal [06:30] thanks [06:31] rbrevoort: then paste it in using ctrl-shift-v (it won't work the normal way, without the shift [06:31] ) [06:31] something funny: I make ctrl-T the command to open a terminal...Not good when Im surfing in firefox [06:31] I gotta say, this channel is nicer than the ones I was on when I first started messing with linux a decade ago... all I ever got for answers were "man is your friend" and "rtfm" [06:31] yes i really appreciate all the help i am getting [06:31] echosa, same here lol [06:32] how can i use all the buttons on my mouse to their full capability [06:32] how do i tell what version of php i have installed? is there a command? [06:32] !mouse | xivanari [06:32] problem is, the Linux man pages are sadly not very good often times... BSD on the other hand has much better man pages [06:32] xivanari: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [06:32] tyvm! [06:33] It wasn't that long ago that I got answers like that - I was trying to burn an iso of knoppix and they said if you can't figure that out you can't figure out linux. [06:33] I guess 5 years is a long time with this stuff. people are coming around. [06:33] No answer can sometimes seem worse though. [06:34] J-5: make a .php page that says place it in your www folder and open it in a browser [06:34] I'm outta here... does anyone need anything before I go? [06:34] cdm10: the command doesn't work? no such directory? [06:34] yep [06:34] me [06:35] and xivanari, you should be able to remove virtualbox from synaptic [06:35] rbrevoort: hold on a sec [06:35] ok [06:35] So where are we [06:35] rbrevoort: can you copy (select and ctrl-shift-c) what you typed in and what it said, and paste it to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org?

[06:47] yes wiseleo, a Microsoft document image [06:47] rbrevoort: no <> or command: bit? [06:47] maybe i'm missing the file? [06:47] rbrevoort: ok, do this [06:47] rbrevoort: sudo aptitude install libdvdread3 [06:47] rbrevoort: then try again [06:47] with the other one [06:47] i have to go now [06:47] ok [06:47] bye all [06:47] bye cdm10 [06:47] Wiseguy, and gimp cant open it so not a tiff [06:48] Poul: try renaming it to .tiff and see what happens [06:48] cdm10: it worked that time [06:48] so now the dvd will play? [06:48] rbrevoort: good, now run that command from before, that wasn't working, should work now [06:48] so there are only two wifi managers for linux? wicd and network-manger? neither of them allow me to set the mac address of the AP I connect to which would solve my problem [06:49] Hi, I'm having trouble with remote desktop. I reset my password recently to login remotely, but since then I've been getting an authentication failure when I try to VNC into the desktop. Using Gutsy. [06:49] yokomo_ can't you use the ap parameter to iwconfig to prevent your problem? [06:49] yokomo_: I hate to say it but you might have to setup a bash script [06:49] ok thx echosa [06:49] tomd: no, network-manager overwrites it [06:49] I have ati graphics on a lenovo R60 with a secondary screen attached. When I run in big desktop mode with xgl, my panels are stretched out over both screens. Anyone know a way to fix this? [06:49] when it tries to connect to the AP with the strongest signal [06:50] hallo i want compile kernell on the faster system , what do I use kernell sources , patches, vanilla ? [06:50] echosa: the command still doesn't work? [06:51] In a terminal, what does '(' do? [06:51] Wiseguy, nothing shows when open in viewer, just a tranperant page [06:51] rbrevoort: try watching a DVD then, you might not need to run that command... make sure you close totem and reopen it if it is open now [06:51] rbrevoort: if that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas, I've never used linux to watch dvds so I have little to no experience in the matter [06:51] for some reason dhclient doesn't run on startup? [06:51] alka_trash: and what should this bash script look like? [06:52] yokomo_ i guess just don't use the network manager, just use iwconfig instead [06:52] yokomo_: I taking a look, just a sec [06:52] In a terminal, what does '(' do? [06:52] yokomo_ do iwconfig to get the address after Access Point: [06:52] In a terminal, what does '(' do? ( without quotes ) [06:52] yokomo_ then from there on whenever you iwconfig do ap xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx and it will pick the right one [06:53] no, it doesn't do that [06:53] echosa: totem want a plugin. [06:53] i just got the update notice for a few packages and the update manager says they cant be authenticated. why is this? [06:53] rbrevoort: then I'm out of ideas... maybe look around on google for the answer, or look at totem's man page.. it might say something about it [06:54] yokomo_ than what does it do? [06:54] om thanks [06:54] ok thx [06:54] hello [06:54] yokomo_ I thought it specified a specific access point [06:54] howdy [06:54] libpcre3 libcrecpp0 and gnome-system-tools upgrade packages cant be authenticated. should i be worried? [06:54] network-manager connects to the other AP (because it has stronger signal?) [06:54] I have installed Windows on QEMU using Ubuntu [06:55] by why the network interface limited? [06:55] if I use iwconfig it doesn't matter, network-manager connects eithwr way [06:55] yokomo_ you're not going to be able to use network-manager [06:55] why not use vmware? [06:55] instead? [06:55] of QEMU [06:55] yokomo_ end the process and don't use it.. uninstall it even [06:55] you don't need it anyway [06:55] can someone please help me with me with totem? doesn't want to play dvd for some reason? its an IBM Thinkpad. [06:55] well, I am just learning :D [06:55] yokomo_: yep I'm still looking up info [06:55] !anyone | rbrevoort [06:55] rbrevoort: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? [06:55] if I don't use it, I honestly don't know how to connect then [06:55] anyone get the sigmatel 92xx card to work in linux? [06:56] yokomo_ look it up, its really easy believe it or not [06:56] totem doesn't work dvd won't play? my computer is an IBM Thinkpad [06:56] yokomo_ you just need to know your dns server addresses [06:56] if it were aseasy as "looking it up" I woulnd't be here [06:57] rbrevoort: perhaps this will get you started: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+question/11297 [06:57] ok thanks [06:57] yokomo_ type iwconfig tutorial into google [06:57] you need only these commands: iwconfig, ifconfig, route [06:57] and to edit /etc/resolv.conf [06:57] oh, SO much easier... [06:57] i will try and find a tutorial [06:58] don't be arrogant. its really actually very simple.

[07:43] rbrevoort, then sudo apt-get install p7zip-full [07:43] powerserve: do this: completely close virtualbox, from a terminal type 'sudo usermod -G ' without the quotes, replacing with whatever your linux user name is, so for instance, I would type 'sudo usermod -G vboxusers echosa' [07:43] i am looking for a network information helper application that gives me my ip address, mac, ect without using ifconfig in the terminal, any reccomendation? [07:43] its running off the livecd, you have to install to your hardisk [07:43] rbrevoort, now it's installed.

[07:46] moin [07:46] sir snoozer i got disconnected [07:46] rbrevoort, when you write "apt-get install" it will download the program / package for you [07:46] no, its ppc [07:47] true [07:47] rbrevoort, or it will take it from the CDrom [07:47] punzada, thanks [07:47] well thats all the ideas i have [07:47] disconnected from what powerserve [07:47] im running it in a Powermac G3, it has OSX on one of the other hard drives [07:47] from irc a while ago [07:47] can the server be down?

[07:48] im only experimenting with linux, so if it doesnt work oh well, i just thought i would check here maybe someone else knows something i dont, seeing as im a noob when it comes to linux, never used it before [07:49] did you try echosa's advice or were you disconnected before it was sent? [07:49] echosa: would you mind guiding me again sir on what to do.. i am a newbie with just a month of experience in running ubuntu..

[08:35] HELP, please...I need help with my grub settings....I deleted a partition which was an OS and now my grub won't load [08:35] tppch: every program normally keeps its stuff in your home, in ~/.somename directory. There no general rules regarding that, but you can just "ls -la" in your homedir to have an idea what's there. Email is exception. [08:35] powerserve: damn... then try what sn00zer said... 'adduser powerserver vboxusers' [08:36] ahh, during install it stops loading at "Loading module "aec63xx" for ' [08:36] 'IDE Chipset support'\ [08:36] and it just sits there.... doing nothing.... forever and ever [08:36] Xenocide21, try the alternate cd [08:36] aec62xx* === jc_ is now known as marlonux [08:37] dfeeser: i dont know then, it installed everything for me when I enabled the restricted drivers [08:37] when i start adept manager, i get read only mode message, it says i dont know how to run it with root privileges, even after i have logged in the terminal as sudo [08:37] could someone explain what does nautilus do? and should it be 73.8MBs of ram?

[08:38] thanks for trying to help :> [08:38] should it be using that much ram though? [08:38] lud: are you using swapspace [08:38] lud: it's a file manager, it may be big if you have a lot of folders open [08:38] echosa: i corrected it sir thanks this is the output... adduser: Only root may add a user or group to the system. [08:39] i don't have any folders open [08:39] add sudo in front of the command [08:39] powerserve: oops... forgot the sudo.. make it 'sudo adduser powerserve vboxusers' [08:39] I installed Backtrack2 to a fresh ext3 partition and edited the grub accordingly, but I noticed that when I went into the boot directory, there is no kernel there! [08:39] echosa: copy sir [08:39] can I put a kernel in there? [08:40] powerserve: then run groups again [08:40] * echosa crosses his fingers... [08:40] or does it have to be the one that came with the live cd? [08:40] where can i find the swap? or know what's in it. i have a 120sata hdd and 2gb of ram. [08:40] echosa: this is the output sir... powerserve is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

I found it using google [08:42] enslaved: mustang has the same problem [08:42] doesn't VB require a lot of Ram? [08:42] ah hooray, since vmware held out longer, i have now been informed that there is a corrupt file on my windows cd.. don't ask how it got corrupted. [08:42] sn00zer: this isn't even a virtualbox issue.. this is an issue adding a user to a group, which has nothign to do with virtualbox other than tha thappens to be the group to be joined [08:42] I only managed to get it working on one box [08:42] i *didn't* make it myself [08:42] hi all!

[09:06] So out of curiosity... who made apt-get install gforge actually work, ever? :) [09:06] basically I need to paste a whole folder into the mounted volume [09:06] lol really:). Sounds crazy. hehe. I am doing a degree in comp networking as well..:) [09:07] LeenuxRawksAll: chown LeenuxRawksAll:LeenuxRawksAll /path/to/partition [09:07] with sudo first [09:07] awesome [09:07] you running wpa [09:07] thanx! [09:07] powerserve: what happends if you write ONLY sudo [09:07] No authenication. [09:07] anyone knows about WiFi not starting on 7.10? [09:07] For those tired of sudo in front of every damn command... sudo su - :) [09:07] Hello Folks, can anyone help me run the upgrade to 7.10. Whenever I do it can't find a bunch of files. I have change some of the s/w source URLs in teh .conf file. Do I need to change these back? [09:07] I had wpa but I disabled it to try and fix this problem. [09:07] larsemil: i would try that === loucas is now known as SoteriouLoucas [09:08] larsemil: would it be ok to paste the output here? [09:08] powerserve: depends on how long the output is. :) [09:09] larsemil: around 3 lines... [09:09] with wpa or wep on is it worst [09:09] powerserve still there? [09:09] powerserve: i'm no op. :) [09:09] brb [09:09] snoozer: still here [09:09] larsmeil... it gave me an operation not permitted error [09:09] just thought of something that might work [09:09] LeenuxRawksAll: and you put sudo first? [09:09] do you know your root password? [09:09] I couldnt say. [09:09] duh [09:09] brb [09:10] it was pretty frequent. [09:10] larsemil: i better paste the results in the pastebin wait [09:10] thats why i turned it off, to see if that would make it stop. lol. apparently it didnt. [09:10] alot of times people could be leeching on your network which can cause you problems [09:11] lemme check that. [09:11] whoohoo! thanks laremil! [09:11] larsemil: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44594/ [09:11] *larsemil [09:11] snoozer: ok [09:11] wow I have 5 extra ppl on my DHCP client list. is there a way for me to kick/ban them? [09:12] powerserve, do you know the root password? [09:12] any ideas if there is any bruete forece programm for .pdf passwords? [09:12] only is to sercure your connection [09:12] !rootsudo [09:12] sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [09:12] snoozer: yes i think [09:12] ok. I guess I'll turn it back on. [09:12] brb [09:12] are you running ndiswrapper [09:13] ok, this is a several step process, and you won't be able to talk until its done so pay attention [09:13] snoozer: ok [09:14] big thanks all! [09:14] take care :) [09:15] you need to hit ctrl+alt+f1, this will take you to a black login screen, login as root, then type 'nano /etc/sudoers' it should open a file with stuff in it, look through it for a section of allowed sudoers, add your username and save with ctrl+o then exit with ctrl+x after that type 'exit' and then ctrl+alt+f7 will get you back to the graphical screen [09:16] you may want to write that down so you have it [09:16] and remember, if anything goes wrong ctrl+alt+f7 to get you back here [09:16] i'm going to bed but leaving this open so let me know how it goes [09:16] g'night [09:17] snoozer: okay noted [09:17] snoozer: i would note it first [09:17] snoozer: thanks a lot! [09:18] sn00zer: thats not proper advice for a ubuntu install? [09:19] ubuntuinstalls normally dont have a root account in the normal way [09:20] okay, i got 2 network interfaces, wired and wireless, can someone tell me how to bring an interface up/down by editting /etc/network/interfaces [09:20] okay, i got 2 network interfaces, wired and wireless, can someone tell me how to bring an interface up/down by editting /etc/network/interfaces? [09:20] sn00zer: you might be in bed right now or w/e, but, _I think_ that running 'gksu users-admin', clicking Properties for your user, going to the Privileges tab, and then checking "Administer the system' will do the same thing, in a GUI [09:21] If I have a program whose stdout I want to display on the status bar, is there a good way to do that? [09:22] mojo why do you want to move things up and down [09:23] hi can anyone help me, when on the network my the other PC that in on Win98 , I try to go into my the other Pc that is on Ubuntu 7.04 there is a requirement to key in the password. This password is set from where? ,My ubuntu 7.04 pc?? === greencookie_ is now known as greencookie [09:23] DerangedDingo, If you cant sudo to began with , you can't gksu users-admin to change that [09:23] larsemil: did you see my post in the pastbin? thanks [09:23] buttercups: hahaha. that's right. flawed logic on my part [09:23] enslaved, back:) [09:23] okay [09:24] enslaved, I put wpa as well. [09:24] * DerangedDingo thinks about how he didn't realize that when he typed the word 'gksu' [09:24] powerserve: what is your original problem? [09:24] okay, can someone tell me how to check if an interface is up/down? So far ifconfig does'nt show me much [09:24] larsemil: ok [09:24] you were asking me about ndiswrapper. [09:24] i installed virtual box through add remove [09:24] no I don't use it. I tried installing it but gave up midway:) [09:24] then made a vbox new setting [09:25] run lsusb [09:25] larsemil: but along the way when i clicked start i met an error [09:25] i have a qucik question.. after hacking my wireless card i finally manage to get it installed.. wusb54gsc : driver installed device (13B1:0026) present but i dont see on iwconfig any one know?

[09:27] nvm I got root terminal:) [09:27] larsemil: did you download from repos or did you get the latest from their homepage? [09:27] go ahead. [09:27] livingdaylight: homepage i think. [09:28] run sudo -s [09:28] done [09:28] larsemil: no sir. [09:28] how can i make part of my hard disc with ext3? [09:28] can someone tell me why as Ubuntu users we are condemned to not having the latest packages? [09:28] most packages in ubuntu are old [09:28] can someone tell me how to determine if an interface is up/down under console? [09:28] powerserve: then you have to add yourself to that. and still no sir me. :) system > administration > users and group. and make sure your user is a member of vboxusers [09:29] you will need your cd that came with the wlan [09:29] larsemil: ah! the vbox group i suppose... hehehe [09:29] shoot!

[09:35] i did apt-get install ndiswrapper-commons [09:35] do I have to restart? [09:36] maybe ubunu is still runing on this partition [09:36] larsemil: ah i see. i suppose i am [09:36] run sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils [09:36] i never had to do that [09:37] hmm strange.

[10:56] Jordan_U: from man apt-get autoremove is used to remove packages that were automatically installed to satisfy dependencies for some package and that are no more needed.

Not able to boot with error >> Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) [10:57] autoremove won't kill config files through [10:57] dont know what to do with my problem. [10:57] For that you need to purge [10:57] hi [10:57] autoremove removed nothing right then [10:57] i guess i got it all [10:57] shishio, Installing the newest version of Ubuntu will more than likely solve the problem, is this a fresh install? [10:57] hello [10:57] marlowe: what fs type is your root part? [10:58] is there a libflashsupport for x86_64? [10:58] shishio: you would be better off getting the latest 7.10 version. Breezy badger is now unsupported, and gutsy is likely to have the problem already solved for you. [10:58] Jordan_U: i have 2 sound card. how can i disan l [10:58] shishio, have you configured your sound ? [10:58] hmmm. im not sure. How do i check that . i can still login on the console using one of the recovery kernels. [10:58] i think ext3 [10:58] #avidemux [10:58] shishio, as well as unmuted sound thru a mixer [10:58] shishio, "asoundconf list" and "asoundconf set-default-card " [10:58] how can i enter in other computer in my network from my computer [10:58] ? [10:59] nDevastator:configured my sound card? not yet... how? [10:59] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu.html [10:59] ubuntu - ssh? [10:59] d34dh4ck: I am not sure on the exact fs [10:59] shishio, if you have 2 sound cards then [10:59] Jordan_U: how can i disable one of my soundcards? [10:59] I've got LTSP running on 64bit Edubuntu, and need sound support for flash, I've been told I need libflashsupport, but I can only find it for x86 [10:59] shishio, goto System -> Preferences -> Sound [10:59] take it of is more easy! x) [10:59] nDevastator: yes i have 2 sound cards. how can i disable one? [11:00] shishio, make sure you have right sound card selected in those [11:00] shishio, Is this a new install? If it is then you will save a lot of time and bandwidth by just doing a fresh install of 7.10 [11:00] marlowe: if it was not changed during install it should be ext2/ext3 [11:00] nubae - try apt-get install lib32 [11:00] makes 32-bit apps work [11:00] done that [11:00] anyone know what new in the latest xorg-driver-fglrx update (7.1.0-8.37.6+2.6.22.4-14.10)? [11:00] d34dh4ck: I think that is it. you might be correct. What can i do to fix this boot problem. [11:00] I installed crossover that way [11:01] shishio, Do you just want to mute it? Have it not be used? Have its driver not loaded at all? Setting your other card as the default should keep it from being used [11:01] shishio, if you dont know the name of your sound card model... then do lspci and find the multimedia controllers [11:01] yeah, it help. [11:01] i use generic kernal but its not at the top of my GRUB how do i edit grub? [11:01] but doesn't seem to work for libflashsupport [11:01] !grub [11:01] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [11:01] i hear sounds now. thankls [11:01] ^_^ [11:01] sweet ;D [11:01] hmm...when i had that problem i had compiled the kernel and forgot to put the fs in the kernel as opposed to as a module, that is the only time i have ran into that problem, but with a default install i dont see how that could have happened [11:01] soo... [11:01] lol i think i just have to hit escape [11:02] im currently using breezy badger now. im upgrading a dapper with a 56kbps modem... it takes years. u guys have a better idea [11:02] shi - are you in US? [11:02] shishio, Do a fresh install of 7.10, it will be a smaller download [11:02] where [11:02] shishio: download 7.10 use the bandwith for the download of newer distro and then do a fresh install [11:02] d34dh4ck: when i try to login via gnome using one of the old 7.04 kernels i get a fail error saying >> Could not init front path element /usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic, remove from list [11:02] shishio, ubuntu.com [11:02] im in the asia pacific [11:03] shishio, yes get dsl =x [11:03] hahaha [11:03] *shrug* tr00fs [11:03] is there a proper help page for installing the default ubuntu GUI on a server edition?

[11:05] or use symlinks from www [11:05] nDeva - /var/www - your system-wise public_html [11:05] hi, samebody can helpme with my bluetooht device? [11:05] d34dh4ck: during the actual upgrade. I hit so many errors. But it still went through. I was hoping the errors was normal. Now it has messed up my system which i use for development. [11:05] wiseleo, yes but if i put a symlink in there on a default apache install [11:05] wiseleo, i get a 403 [11:06] wiseleo, even if i chmod 777 /orig/ [11:06] i connect the device and nothing happend [11:06] dpkg: error processing libflashsupport_1.0~2219-1_i386.deb (--install): [11:06] package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64) [11:06] Jordan_U: "I probably would offer too, but Mark Shuttleworth has already paid for it, for anyone :)", whos that guy? [11:06] nDeva - interesting. You might have followsymlinks disabled [11:06] Nubae, the 64 bit version of what you want doesnt exist [11:06] marlowe: hmm..thass interesting, im not really sure with your situation, i know when i had that error it was a module problem in the kernel, try running sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and see if it fixes it [11:07] Nubae, if you want sound in flash... theres 2 options [11:07] see if it fixes those errors you had during the actual upgrade [11:07] Nubae, chroot and run browser in that [11:07] shishio, He is the founder of Ubuntu, basically an awesome rich South African dude :) [11:07] d34dh4ck: i will try now. [11:07] Nubae, or go 32bit instead ;p [11:07] nDevastator, I'm running LTSP [11:07] that's not an option... [11:07] oh wait... doh! [11:07] :-) [11:07] Nubae, what ? [11:07] had to chroot into the ltsp chroot anyway [11:07] shishio, He is also known for paying to be a space turist :) [11:08] which is 32 bit [11:08] d34dh4ck: huge error is displayed in my screen now. last message was run dpkg --configure -a to correct. i tried it but another error also appeard [11:08] can run browser from there [11:08] d34dh4ck: huge error displayed in my screen now. last message was run dpkg --configure -a to correct. i tried it but another error also appeard [11:08] and all is well... i think [11:08] thats how ti works... its LTSP [11:08] Jordan_U: heheh, is the cd free? coz im a bit of a broke=) [11:08] i dunno what LTSP is =*( [11:08] linux thin terminal server project [11:08] shishio, Completely Free :) [11:08] checkit out...

[11:09] d34dh4ck: i will try to run what you said again. just rebooting [11:09] Almindor - try a different USB host card? [11:10] shishio, If you don't know anything about strange customs then you don't live in one of those areas :) [11:10] wiseleo, I don't have different ones this is mobo usb [11:10] wiseleo, the usb works fine, it's something the iPod does.. [11:10] heheh Jordan_U ;D [11:10] wiseleo, or perhaps the gnome automount system .. [11:10] i tried in different but nothing happend [11:10] (or both) [11:10] Almindor - I can understand that, but you can add a different USB PCI card. Usually it's hardware. [11:11] I doubt that [11:11] LOL, im just a student. Im from the philippines, if its not free thin and ill stick with my grandfathers breezy badger.^^ [11:11] why would it be hardware? the thing works in windows [11:11] then* [11:11] guys i badly need your help...software sources, add remove buttons are nowhere to be found after i restarted my pc [11:11] You are welcome to doubt :) [11:11] wiseleo, what do i gotta do to make symlinks work ?

[11:12] hi pple, i would like to make an ubuntu gutsy mirror for amd64 locally, but i would like to configure it with packages not from the ubuntu official archive.. so i would like it to sort the newest packages, how do i customize a mirror? [11:12] !webmin [11:12] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system [11:12] d34dh4ck: i will reboot again to verify if my network is running ok [11:12] hrmm === asjd is now known as grencookie [11:12] ubotu, I love you.

(wasn't Tomboy?) [11:18] Jordan_U: I already got that via Synaptic Package Manager. Did I do it wrong somehow? [11:18] hi can someoone please help me out with ionstalling awn on ubutnu 7.10, is there a repo or somethin for it [11:19] shinichizio, Can you view videos on youtube.com? [11:19] where would one talk about OpenOffice? [11:19] Jordan_U: Yes, but I'm trying to fix a specific problem with a flash game that needs a new version. Niggling technical detail, I know. [11:19] g-e, #OpenOffice.org [11:19] @g-e isnot normal minutes unless you have a 386 [11:20] wow tomboy is pretty kewl [11:20] shinichizio, Are you running Ubuntu 7.10 ? [11:20] Jordan_U: Oops. No. [11:20] So I guess I'll back everything up and install 7.10 then. [11:21] After upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy I have no LAN access any more. How can I resolve the IRQ 11 resource conflict thus formed? (https://bugs.launchpad.net/update-manager/+bug/158397/) [11:21] shinichizio, You don't need to install 7.10 just for flash, there are other advantages to upgrading though [11:21] Jordan_U: mind sharing a good way to setup apache for multiple symlinks but all be accessible thru localhost/something1,2,etc [11:21] Jordan_U: Hopefully I CAN update, though. I've been getting some rather weird freezes and crashes and things [11:22] anyone ? [11:22] Jordan_U: even whatever its called would be nice... i can go from there [11:22] ok... there is some info on Gnash running sound on 64 bit linux... anyone know anything about this?

[11:24] marlowe, In what way is the USB disk not working? Have you tried mounting it manually? [11:24] mizipzor: double-click the package and install [11:24] selinium: i got a deb file which had tar files in it [11:24] mizipzor: double click on it and the package manager should start [11:24] zetheroo: I'm using my lappy for accessing net. I use ubuntu on my desktop. I have Netgear USb Adapter, I just installed ndiswrapper. Now I can only view ad connect to wep connections [11:24] Jordan_u, oops. havnt tried mounting it manualy [11:25] grencookie: whats you device? [11:25] mizipzor: or sudo dpkg -i /path/to/skype.deb [11:25] selinium: thanks, clicking on it started the install [11:25] mizipzor: cool :) [11:26] Jordan_U: have u heared about special request about ubuntu?? [11:26] During installation, via the live cd, the installation failed at 97%, it was installing Grub. It seems like everything installed so I can I just try and install grub by its self or won't that work? [11:26] shishio, What do you mean? [11:27] shishio, For shiping more CD's? [11:27] Dezine - I'd run a disk check on that disk :) [11:27] alright [11:27] Well, I just got it from shipit, everything works fine, I'm on it now.

[11:28] grencookie: whats the model number? [11:28] rmaj, It is probably your GFX card that it is "not supporting", you probably just need the right drivers [11:28] I'm in the US, I got the cd about a week ago, it's Gutsy [11:28] hmm I had no reply on the forums either. Im trying to find which program pre Ubuntu 7.10 used for sticky desktop notes? (use to appear on boot up, and different from TomBoy) [11:29] grencookie: have you installed the CORRECT driver? [11:29] Jordan_U: I use via driver [11:29] rmaj, What Graphics card is it? [11:29] zetheroo: ) not sure about anything:) [11:29] via s3 something integrated [11:29] zetheroo is there a way I can check? [11:29] I have other partitions which makes me think that's why Grub didn't install. [11:29] Dezine: free of charge right? hopes mine is free too [11:29] Yeah it's free.

This is just my emergency OS since XP failed me the other day. [15:46] hello everybody [15:46] Carl_: well... i dont know... doesnt it work outta the box? [15:46] ehird`: then why would you set up mongrel with apache ? if they are both webserver s? [15:46] Rinkaru: XP fails people every day! ;) [15:46] haha [15:47] breezy rocked. almost failsafe installer. [15:47] Rinkaru: You need to upgrade the system. [15:47] ikonia: because mongrel is not good enough on its own, you need multiple mongrels [15:47] ikonia: so, you use apache as a proxy balancer for multiple mongrel instances [15:47] i need your help [15:47] Yeah, i already ordered for the 7.10 CD. I cant DL it now coz my connection is sluggish slow. [15:47] ehird`: ahhhhhh so hits apache direct, and apache feeds off to multiple mongrel sessions [15:47] ikonia: yeah [15:47] ehird`: ok, that makes sense [15:47] ehird`: thank you [15:47] np :) [15:47] you mean you cannot run ruby inside apache as mod_ruby or something? [15:48] Uhm anyway, could you help me in installing firefox 2? I have the FF 2 package already [15:48] chat.org [15:48] Rinkaru: firefox 2 is what comes with ubuntu [15:48] fyrestrtr: yes, but it is sloooow [15:48] fyrestrtr: and not reccomended at all [15:48] Uhm, yeah. but, this Ubunto Distro isn't latest.

[15:57] fyrestrtr: well.. why is that?? [15:57] baz : can i burn the iso on a DVD? [15:57] ScriptDevil: I'm pretty sure they somehow hacked that. [15:57] i'm out of blank CD's [15:57] JML1: sure [15:57] ok [15:57] ScriptDevil: because of the limits of a 32 bit operating system and the addressable space. [15:58] fyrestrtr: the limit is 4 gb [15:58] ScriptDevil: You're right for the original 386 CPU, but I'm pretty sure it's more these days. [15:58] any undelete software for kubuntu? [15:58] Tomcat_: for x86_64, it is more... [15:58] kuta: that depends on a number of factors [15:58] ScriptDevil: no, that's the physical limit on the number of sticks you can put in a motherboard, it is not the limit of the addressable RAM on the system. You can have 4 GB sticks, but only 3 GB addressable RAM. [15:58] kuta: like time machine? [15:58] fyrestrtr: oh.. okie [15:58] kuta: a. how you deleted it. b. what file system and c. how much patience you have [15:59] kuta: and d. what kind of file or files you are talkign about [15:59] ntfs , I deleted the whole partion on a usb portable hard disk [15:59] ok, thats not to hard [15:59] ScriptDevil: only Windows Server 2003 can address 4 GB of RAM in the 32 bit version, because its actually a 36-bit OS. [15:59] you want the partition back then i take it? [15:59] yes yes, a lot of data [15:59] invoices...etc [16:00] kuta: have you done anything to it since? like formatting and writing new data [16:00] variant: please enlighten [16:00] kuta: first question: did you format the drive? [16:00] anyone know how to fix this [16:00] fyrestrtr: :) you seem like a bag full of resources [16:00] achadwick: after accidentaly deleted the partion , I did not reintialised it [16:01] ScriptDevil: just someone who has asked the same questions, and found the answers to them. [16:01] kuta: what program did you use to delete the partition? [16:01] kuta: ok, thats easy to fix [16:01] achadwick: I were trying to install winxp [16:01] HELP i seems that the Gutsy kernel now uses SLUB for a scheduler; SLAB was used in the past.

[16:01] hmm floodbots [16:02] * achadwick wonders where a kile => pline typo came from... [16:02] ScriptDevil: yes, based on the architecture. Intel socket M processors cannot address anything north of 3 GB.

I just threw ubuntu of and now the live cd's install program can't see my partition tables anymore, so I can't put it back on. In windows everything works fine and nautilus can see my partitions to. I could just use the alternate cd I suppose, but this wouldn't fix my mbr. [16:02] ok.. am off to install buntu.. see you in some time...

[16:06] anyone know what program controls the icons on the desktop? [16:06] is it normal when you're watching youtube videos, firefox uses 65%+ of the cpu constantly?? [16:06] biff_taco: no, it is still experimental [16:06] variant: thank you [16:07] How do I get my Logitech MX5000 and MX1000 bluetooth keyboard and mouse to work in Ubuntu 7.10? Could anyone please help me? [16:07] biff_taco: they are backwards compatible (with exceptions) and i think possibly forwardly compatible but not sure about that, read the ext4 docs [16:07] Gin, Yes, I reckon the flash plugin is written really badly. [16:07] variant: will do, take care [16:07] arimail: mine works by just plugging it in. [16:08] biff_taco: I imagine you would do the same for ext3->ext4 as ext2->ext3 which is tunefs or such [16:08] what was the command for dir create? [16:08] grimboy_uk, since totem can play flv files, can't I use totem instead of flash? [16:08] No driver installations or anything? [16:08] Cuz my mouse could'nt move..

[16:08] Gin, You could, if you used one of those programs that finds the address of the flv from the swf. === atouk_zug is now known as atouk [16:09] thanx will do :) [16:09] I have a strange problem: I run a two monitor setup, 1 is a tv at 800x600 and the other is my desktop at 1600x1200, the monitor however only lets you put icons in what seems to be a 800x600 area in the upper left corner [16:09] Gin, (Or is it embedded in the swf?) [16:09] arsenip: mplayer (from the command line) will tell you most of what you need to know. [16:09] ive installed mplayer and vlc but netiher gave me the requried codecs to play the majority of (common encoded) files [16:09] hey, i'm trying to get my tft monitor working on my laptops vga port on feisty, it's showing up on the screen and graphics applet, and i configure it, but no matter what i do it resets and goes into low graphics mode, any ideas about how to get it working?

[16:10] nareshov: what are you doing? [16:10] installing otcl [16:10] !xincludes | nareshov [16:10] nareshov: When a program or configure script asks for "X includes", you should probably install the following packages: xlibs-dev xlibs-static-dev xorg-dev [16:10] thanks! [16:10] what is otcl?? [16:11] a dependency for ns2 [16:11] !find otcl [16:11] variant: testdisk installed successful, how to start? [16:11] fyrestrtr: "Otters: Terrifying" - crap language [16:11] Do I have USB + HID support automatically when i start Ubuntu Live CD? [16:11] arimail, yes - that should be included by default [16:11] Package/file otcl does not exist in gutsy [16:12] thank you very much [16:13] variant: how to use testdisk, I had apt-get install already [16:14] Try 'man testdisk' ? [16:14] hi there [16:14] anyone use monodevelop? [16:14] I am having a major headache with gub [16:14] heloooooooooooooooo [16:14] *grub [16:14] good evening ubuntu\ [16:14] is anyone able to provide any insight [16:14] how are you guysssssss [16:15] kuta, usr/share/doc/testdisk/html/advanced_fat_repair.html seems to be some detailed docs. [16:15] anyone use monodevelop ? [16:15] I got a weird question: my machine locked up and I had to power it off (I know this is really rough on linux files systems) so I wanted to check it to make sure its okay - how would I do that?

Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [16:16] cuscus1986, give some details to the problem. Grub can be very... interesting to work with. :) [16:16] i cant work out how to complile gnome-rdp using monodevelop [16:16] installed vista (for some reason) first and then ubuntu on another partition on the same disk sda. Grub has sda mapped to hd0. [16:16] sorry am typing the story [16:16] anyone got any idea? [16:17] how do i generate a makefile? [16:17] groovy - I'll try it now [16:17] thx [16:17] now ubuntu didn't autodetect vista and we have been playing around with menu.lst trying to get it to boot [16:17] how do i extract the backgrounds package from a mounted fesity iso? [16:17] ran fdisk -l and the vista partition is definately still there [16:17] cuscus1986, so vista is on sda1? [16:17] sda5 [16:17] I'd like to buy a new hard drive to replace my current one. When i get my new drive, i'd like to partition it with some windows space at the start of the drive, then my linux space after it. Is it possible to clone my current ubuntu installation onto this new drive, or should i just reinstall from scratch and move all my important data over from the old drive once the new ubuntu install is complete? [16:17] we tried hd0,4 [16:17] robbb: Thats out of scope for this channel, you probably want to check either in #programming or #monodevelop on irc.gnome.org [16:18] cuscus1986, you actually installed vista to sda5 then when it installed eh? you dident 'move' vista some how to a new spot? === adante_ is now known as adante [16:18] is that not linked to freenode? [16:18] robbb: it is not. [16:18] Dr_willis, I don't believe so we just installed it on a partition leaving space for ubuntu [16:19] cuscus1986, Well some of the older versions of windows did NOT like getting installed to partitions other then the first one. Not sure if vista has the same issues or not. [16:19] can what is a good app that will allow me to update my ipod, like itunes do on the windows os? [16:19] Dr_willis: it does not. [16:20] Dr_willis: I believe it still does have that issue [16:20] or maybe not [16:20] ok so I have this wifi crashing when I use torrent files, issue which I am ok w/ because I have a quick fix for when that happens but folders that are the root of sshfs connections freeze and I can't look at them even w/ ls, is there something that I can run to reset what ever is frozen [16:20] Im still wondering how it let itself get installed to sda5 :) [16:20] i only have one thing left to fix before i can throw MS out the window, i need to make voipstunt work, i have tried every voip thing in ubuntu and are now fighting with X-Lite, does anyone know how to get voipstunt to work? I use sip.voipstunt.com as proxy and stun.voipstunt.com as stun [16:20] Dr_willis, it should have been on the first partition as it was a fresh install and we did it first before ubuntu [16:21] ricantelite: For all but the latest iPods, amarok and gtkpod will work, also apps like banshee. For the very latest, you need to recompile the latest version of libgpod and whatever app would otherwise let you transfer your tunes. look at #gtkpod for more info [16:21] where should i look to read all start up messages (including those before the syslog demon ) ? [16:21] right I have the exact error message from grub now [16:21] cuscus1986, yea. somthing seems odd here. I imagine this is a laptop? or is it a desktop box? [16:21] laptop [16:22] a world of pain [16:22] kuta: soorry, was afk there [16:22] trying to help someone over msn >< [16:22] cuscus1986, was this an actual vista install disk you used? or a specilized laptop 'recovery' type install disk? [16:23] kuta: you there? [16:24] Dr_willis, the install route was a fresh install of xp sp2 (not a recovery disk) then a vista upgrade [16:24] how to installed yahoo messenger on ubuntu [16:24] ankit, use pidgin [16:24] <__mikem> ankit, apt-get install gaim [16:24] pidgin [16:24] <__mikem> gaim! [16:24] without using gain [16:24] must agree pidgin [16:24] gaim doesn't exist anymore [16:25] <__mikem> bruenig, why, I never had any problems with it. [16:25] ankit: there is a bunch of alternatives, to many for me to list. check google [16:25] i know about gaim but i am not interested [16:25] ankit: hint: amsn [16:25] __mikem, it is called pidgin [16:25] pidgin has a better name then gaim :p [16:25] __mikem: it was renamed to pidgin [16:25] pidgin is a good name [16:25] <__mikem> variant, when did that happen? [16:25] __mikem: a while ago [16:25] how do i extract the backgrounds package from a mounted fesity iso? [16:26] __mikem, 8 months ago [16:26] teicah: why not jsut download it? [16:26] oh but ubuntu is always behind so you guys didn't know until 1 month ago [16:26] __mikem: gaim was change to pidgen due to some leagle issues w/ AOL, it happen a couple moshts ago when the ver of 2 was finaly not beta any more [16:26] <__mikem> God I hate AOL. [16:26] teicah: it would be easier to `apt-get source feisty-wallpapers` [16:26] bruenig: I new when I was running feisty [16:26] teicah, one easy way would be to boot the .iso with virtualbox or vmware, find the images, and copy them over using ssh, or samba, or whatever [16:26] kuta: i found this tutorial for you: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/420 [16:26] Whats the difference between removing package and complete removal of package?? [16:27] knew* [16:27] Andycasss, the latter removes files in /etc [16:27] Andycasss: Complete removal (purge) removes system config files from /etc (not ~/ config files) [16:27] sanguisdex, lucky you [16:28] bruenig: just don't sum all of us up in one group as behind the times unbuntu'ers [16:28] I need alot of entries in /etc/hosts. Can I save these entries in other files and include them in the original /etc/hosts somehow? I need to organize it. [16:28] I'm going to be upgrading my graphics card soon. I know that ATI has been bad with Linux in the past, but now that AMD owns them and has begun opening the specs, what do you think would be better purely from a stable-functional-driver standpoint, a nVidia GeForce 8800 GT or an AMD Radeon 3850? [16:28] sanguisdex, ubuntu as a distro is behind always [16:28] If ive decided to use remove package, but want to remove it completely later, what should i do? [16:28] sanguisdex, it is built into the design [16:28] bruenig: there are plenty of package distro lists, that you can use to stay current [16:28] Andycasss, apt-get remove --purge package [16:28] what is the package i need to install before installing django? the official doc says it is "mod_python" but i think for ubuntu it was somthing different? [16:29] sanguisdex, you mean you get around ubuntu's failings by negating the whole idea of package management? you do things like getdeb.org because you like the windows software installation model [16:30] or those .autopackage or the 'klik' stuff.. (none of which seem to work well for me) [16:30] tapio the /etc/hostts file is just a text file and not an executable to allow inclusions of external files [16:30] how can i add widgets? [16:30] hi [16:31] hi I have did proxypass between apache and mongrel... [16:31] makes complete sense to go against the system that ubuntu has built just so you can run the bleeding edge apps [16:31] bruenig: but I aggree w/ you that it could do to stay to behind, and for a while I had to keep up w/ the current releases of things like thunderbirds because I had a dual boot w/ common user data. [16:31] I get the error as 404 Forbidden [16:31] so when i hit F9 it will show me widgets? [16:31] i have an error in my php syntaxis but i do not know what is??? [16:31] you dont have permission [16:31] Hi. Anybody here have problems with python-mode and emacs22 in gutsy? [16:31] I'm trying to use the mail-notifier applet but it won't let me set my account as SSL. Anyone know how to fix this? [16:31] bulmer: Yea, but I've seen other config files which does something like "Include /other/file", but I guess that wont work, huh? [16:31] for some reason it seems to have disappeared on me. [16:31] ricanelite-> umm if you are using Opera, it is in the menu to add the widgets [16:32] im using Firefox [16:32] well is there a way to add widgets onto my Desktop. Something similar to what Vista has? [16:32] hi folks, i was wondering if anyone knows what the feature in mac leopard iscalled that lets you scroll through images, much liek the new ipod, and if there is any plugin for ubuntu that can emulate this... [16:32] tapio it would not work, clients that read does not attempt to parse for include commands [16:32] sanguisdex, it is a bit scary though because ubuntu has such a large uninformed base that these go to some random website and install a deb from it installation techniques might take over. People coming over from windows won't bother learning the beauty of centralized package management and ubuntu staying constantly behind gives them incentive to not learn it. [16:32] im looking for a application that will be a alternative to Itunes? [16:33] !itunes [16:33] itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [16:33] bruenig: the avredge user should not have to learn it [16:33] !info gtkpod [16:33] sanguisdex, should not have to learn to use the package management? [16:33] gtkpod: manage songs and playlists on an Apple iPod. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.99.10-2 (gutsy), package size 695 kB, installed size 2620 kB [16:34] bulmer: Ok, thanks for your time [16:34] ricanelite-> i have not seen widgets in firefox..what are you talking about? [16:34] sanguisdex, you are in favor of the windows go to some random website and run some random exe it spits out at you method as opposed to apt-get or one of apt-get's front ends? [16:34] bruenig: seems like a battle not worth fighting :/ [16:34] bruenig: no I am not in favor of the random .exe system [16:34] sanguisdex, just the random .deb system? [16:35] :P [16:35] if they stick to centralized package management, everything should work, be on the same page, no dependency hell, no malicious packages and far easier than going around searching the interwebs for it. [16:35] what is the best way to share files betweens servers, and keep the persmissions the same.. NFS? [16:36] HyperDevil, between 2 linux servers.. Yes i think NFS is the way to go. [16:36] ubuntu constantly being behind though actually makes you want to do the opposite because you want up to date software [16:36] Dr_willis: is it easy to setup? [16:36] HyperDevil, unless you are just doing some user files and dont need to share a lot of things. [16:36] hi folks, i was wondering if anyone knows what the feature in mac leopard iscalled that lets you scroll through images, much liek the new ipod, and if there is any plugin for ubuntu that can emulate this... [16:36] does anyone here uses gnome's mail-notifier applet? I can't enable SSL because the options are grayed out. How do I enable SSL? [16:37] coverflow [16:37] HyperDevil, nfs is documented all over. :) edit exports on the machines, edit fstabs, not too hard. but if one machine goes down. that can be a problem. [16:37] luk3: not to my knowledge [16:37] !nfs [16:37] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [16:37] Dr_willis: about 250GB of files, but the client that uses the files must save the files with the correct persmission since on the server also others users are working.. [16:37] in leopard and mac os x its called coverflow [16:37] * N3bunel brb restart [16:37] luk3: I've seen a few proof of concept demos for it, but nothing in a real linux product. [16:38] I keep forgetting. How can I set up a small network of two computers that are connected by crossover cable? I have set the interface settings as 192.168.2.200 gateway 192.168.2.199 on the first computer, and 192.168.2.199 gateway 192.168.2.200 on the second. Anything else I should do? [16:38] okay there is a option on compiz on Custom Desktop Effects where it says widgets [16:38] HyperDevil, ive also used that sshfs tool. depending on your needs NFS may be over kill. [16:38] bruenig: I am not a fan of any reandon installs, especaly becase the *nix scene done not have as strong of an anti virus support system. you have argued both for and against the packagme management system btw. caling unbuntu's system their falings [16:38] ricanelite: Thats for putting widgets on a seperate layer, not for actually running compiz widgets (because they dont exist) [16:38] ok thanks [16:38] !screenlets | ricanelite [16:38] ahhh got you [16:38] ricanelite: Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ [16:38] the package manger is great for some one who want their computer to just work [16:38] ricanelite: you want to add widgets , or to know what they are? [16:39] sanguisdex, no, I have argued against ubuntu's failure at package management. If they had a good package management setup like other distros, there would be no incentive to go the random deb route. Package management done how it should be done has no drawbacks. [16:39] bruenig: take it it #ubuntu-offtopic [16:39] what is the command when compiling that makes a .deb? [16:39] <__mikem> is screenlets out stable yet? [16:40] IdleOne: checkinstall [16:40] Pici: ty [16:40] make sure you have checkinstall installed, it is a script [16:40] bruenig: will do thanks [16:40] someone help in a question about dvd files!!!!! please pvt-me [16:40] !pm | GuILEdAzIMBA [16:40] GuILEdAzIMBA: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. [16:40] will I see evolution 2.14 in Gutsy? [16:40] GuILEdAzIMBA: ask here it could help others also [16:41] !info evolution gutsy [16:41] evolution: groupware suite with mail client and organizer. In component main, is optional. Version 2.12.0-0ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 2451 kB, installed size 7792 kB [16:41] bruenig: I don't know what system you think whould be better, but I would wonder why you are in #ubuntu if you feel that stronly [16:41] or where can I check to find out? [16:41] WorkingOnWise, looks like 2.12 [16:41] !info evolution hardy [16:41] GuILEdAzIMBA, it also helps to ask an actual secific question. [16:41] ok, sorry [16:41] but I dod not come here to argule abou that [16:41] sanguisdex, help people [16:41] evolution: groupware suite with mail client and organizer. In component main, is optional. Version 2.21.2-0ubuntu1 (hardy), package size 2434 kB, installed size 7856 kB [16:41] bruenig: will it stay 2.12 for the life of gutsy? [16:42] WorkingOnWise: Most likely yes. [16:42] WorkingOnWise, it should, they rarely update software between releases [16:42] is there a app where I could check my hard drive for bad sectors? something similar to chkdsk on windows [16:42] hmmm...loks like i will be compiling from sources... [16:42] fsck [16:42] WorkingOnWise, have fun [16:42] WorkingOnWise: you might want to join some of the mailing lists at lists.ubuntu.com (hardy-changes, etc.) [16:42] WorkingOnWise, sudo apt-get build-dep evolution will speed along the process I imagine [16:43] is anyone in here good with wifi, mine's working but really slow [16:43] rather .. it slows down after about 20-30 minutes [16:43] CubeXombi: please be more specific [16:43] cube, how many walls are in between you and your router [16:43] bruenig: thanks [16:43] none usually, I sit next to it. [16:43] Does someone here have sound problems with Kdenlive? [16:44] cube, no big objects like a fireplace or brick wall? [16:44] ricanelite: fsck [16:44] CubeXombi, are you in a faraday cage? [16:44] One more question if I could - if I wanted to flag a filesystem as needing a fsck check - so that the next reboot it gets a full check how would I do that? [16:44] haha [16:44] that's your problem right there [16:44] generally a reboot gets it going again though. restarting netwoking alone doen't help much, could be crappy drivers (using ndiswrapper and 7.04) [16:45] anyone could helpme to use kxmame¿? please ... [16:45] cube, or maybe interference from another transmitter [16:46] <__mikem> Sorry, my HP laptop decided it wanted to freeze, is screenlets stable yet? [16:46] variant: thanks I recover my whole partition and files already by using testdisk, it is so amazing [16:46] buenig: nah, my building's pretty thin walled, Corey, could be.... there's half a dozen other routers I can detect in here.. mines the only one on ch 1 though [16:46] __mikem: I didnt have any issues with it when I was using it. ymmv. [16:46] i have an error in my php syntaxis but i do not know what is??? [16:46] i have an error in my php syntaxis but i do not know what is??? [16:46] @progvb : what is it? [16:46] bruenig: it looks like that is going to pull from the gutsy repos....are these deps going to be useable with 2.14? [16:46] progvb: Please ask in ##php [16:47] kuta: indeed, well done and congratulations :D [16:47] WorkingOnWise, most likely [16:47] WorkingOnWise, if not, ./configure will tell you and you can go get whatever versions you need and compile those too [16:47] variant: linux opensource software is so wonderful, good bye microsoft [16:47] !ot | kuta [16:47] kuta: the power of free software for you, when it works it works _well_ [16:47] kuta: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [16:47] kuta: :) [16:47] seeing as IRC is working fine one connected I'm gonna try messing with my DNS settings see if there whats killing it .. it's taking a while to search [16:48] bruenig: ty again. [16:48] ciao a tutti [16:48] Hello, i am using ubuntu 7.10 and i installed IRC chat, but nobody seems to talk except on ubuntu server ? why is that, where ever i go nobody is talking to me [16:49] Taras: like where else do you go? [16:49] any italian?? [16:49] Taras: Did you join any channels on the other servers? [16:49] !it | MachuX^ [16:49] MachuX^: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [16:49] I dont know i just open channel list select 1 and everyone is like in prive or something nobody is typing [16:50] Pici yes [16:50] i mean no [16:50] sorry no i didnt hjoin [16:50] salut [16:50] i just entered them [16:50] Taras, entering a channel is joining them. :) [16:50] which is the best torrent's program on GNU/Linux? [16:50] Taras, just hang out here with us. :) we are friendly [16:50] ohh well i dont know i never used IRC before so i am not really good at this [16:50] Taras: Not all channels are as busy as this one is. [16:51] * Dr_willis hands out cookies and milk. [16:51] thats true [16:51] This channel is a very busy one. thers over 1000 people in here. [16:51] Guys why u are in red colour ? [16:51] Hello [16:51] Taras: because we used your name, its called a hilight. [16:51] freepenguin: there are a number of good options--ktorrent, transmission, deluge, rtorrent, and others [16:51] !prefix | Taras [16:51] Taras: If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages [16:51] Anyone who has used the pkg upslug2 ? [16:52] hmm, no mention of red but yeah [16:52] bazhang, yes I know but... the "better" or most utilized? [16:52] Taras: most networks/channels are idle try #ubuntu-offtopic if you just want to chat and you can stay here also if you want/need help or want to give help with Ubuntu ... Welcome! [16:52] freepenguin: opinions differ on best--your mileage may vary [16:53] Oh i thought ur just have to talk about ubuntu on this one [16:53] which is better: bittorent or bittornado? [16:53] Taras: this is a help channel. if you want to talk about ubuntu type /join #ubuntu-offtopic [16:53] !best [16:54] freepenguin: Dunno, I'm using rtorrent [16:54] which ever works better for you. [16:54] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. [16:54] ubotu: ping [16:54] pong [16:54] yeah that :) [16:54] freepenguin, bittornado has some extra features and tended to be faster for me , azureus is the best IMO [16:54] <__mikem> What purpose does that ping factoid serve anyway? [16:54] any good torrent program for ubuntu? [16:54] :) [16:54] it servers knowing the bots replying [16:54] -r [16:55] something like µtorrent [16:55] here is a silly question, im trying to get my girlfriend to use linux but she enjoys using AOL is it possible to run AOL on Linux [16:55] hah [16:55] __mikem: none except maybe to check the delay between you and the bot [16:55] ! [16:55] ricanelite: not at this point in time [16:55] cause I have wine installed and it runs but then says i do not meet the system requirements [16:55] okay [16:55] the bot ping can be used to see if you are ghosting or not from the server [16:55] ricanelite: In that case, no... better leave her with AOL then. Don't try to force things. ;) [16:55] ricanelite, don't think so , you can use AOL messanger but you might have to run the aol software in wine or vm [16:55] ricanelite: to use aim you can use pidgin on ubuntu [16:55] <__mikem> ricanelite, does she use aol specifically for e-mail? [16:55] yeah [16:56] now can i run windows os right on Linux [16:56] <__mikem> ricanelite, just show her a real e-mail service, like gmail [16:56] <__mikem> ricanelite, vmware [16:56] yeah im trying mike trust me [16:56] or even yahoo mail is better === moko|too is now known as mokomull [16:57] <__mikem> When aol started putting ads at the bottom of every e-mail you send, that was the last straw for me. [16:57] anyone ? [16:57] ricanelite: vmware.com has a solution, though best to format c: [16:57] If I have the following route set up : 192.168.2.199 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth2 - does this mean that any activity between my computer and 192.168.2.199 is conducted using eth2? [16:58] Varazir: what is your question? [16:58] Anyone who has used the pkg upslug2 ? [16:58] <__mikem> 192.168.*.* is a local IP address. Its used for computers taht are connected to the same LAN [16:58] How does one adjust the cpu performance to full speed in xubuntu :-/ [16:58] I am running Gutsy, and my music library is on an external USB hard disc, I use Amarok as my music player. Whenever i qquit Amarok it unmounts all my reoale media. Is this a bug or a configuration issue on my part. It only unmounts them when I either chose to do so or when closing Amarok. [16:58] Varazir: what does it do? [16:59] *removable media [16:59] http://www.nslu2-linux.org it's a for a linksys NAS [16:59] __mikem, I'm trying to set up a connection between two computers (already wirelessly connected to the router) using a crossover cable [16:59] join ubuntu-es [16:59] Jimmey: you don't need a route between 2 computers connected to a router [16:59] <__mikem> Jimmey, am not that tallented with networking, but you might try changing the network mask to 255.255.255.0 [17:00] Is there any hacking tools for linux ? [17:00] <__mikem> Taras, linux IS a hacking tool ;) [17:00] Taras: hacking what? trees? [17:00] rapid, I know I can connect them wirelessly, but this is slower than using the cable [17:00] Taras: nmap [17:00] Taras: hacking is "writing code" [17:00] becouse i can find only ettercap sniffer [17:00] <__mikem> ikonia, yes but it sounds so much cooler than cracking. [17:01] or using a device such as an axe. [17:01] Hackign is writing code? Gee.. I perfer the old-skool definition. :) [17:01] Jimmey: well still cabling them you shouldn't require any routes if they are on the same network [17:01] Jimmey, if you want to force traffic down a particular nic use 'sudo route add default gw ethX' where X is the the adapter number [17:01] I can ping one computer from the other, but not the other way round [17:02] hey amias [17:02] Jimmey: the other from the one? [17:02] bazhang it sas on the webpage I should use "sudo aptitude install upslug2" to install it but it can't findeany pgs [17:02] fyrestrtr, trudat [17:02] rapid, for the two wired NICs should I set the netmasks as 255.0.255.0 or something, then? [17:02] So that it's different to my wireless network's netmask [17:03] Jimmey: you can have them on the same network / netmask [17:03] can anyone help me really quick with AWN? when i try to run it i get the error "avant-window-navigator: error while loading shared libraries: libawn.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [17:03] rapid, ahh, but then when I try to ping 192.168.2.199, it gets sent with the wireless device, which will never see the wired device [17:03] how do i change the icon in the top-left where the applications menu is? [17:04] Tarkus write an icon theme [17:04] Jimmey: it doesn't need to 'see' anything. [17:04] or "hack" the image [17:04] fyrestrtr, trudat, it has no eyes....Are you tyring to help? I don't get it [17:04] Jimmey: if both network cards are on the same subnet with the same mask, then you can ping either. [17:04] Jimmey: oh, read aimias comment [17:05] can anyone help me really quick with AWN? when i try to run it i get the error "avant-window-navigator: error while loading shared libraries: libawn.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" [17:05] Jimmey: my wifi is 192.168.0.2, my wired is 192.168.0.3 -- I can ping from both and receive on both; since they are both on the same net, with the same mask. [17:05] how do you get the mouse scroll wheel click down to the auto scroll mode? [17:05] aclark: stop repeating. [17:05] I'm trying to install ubuntu 7.10 from the desktop cd but I just get returned to busybox, it shows this -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44629/ [17:05] sorry [17:06] ah, nice [17:06] fyrestrtr, right, but I have two computers both connected to the same wireless router that I want to connect together using the one crossover cable. Is that the same deal? [17:06] sweet my bots in Freenode #Ubuntu relaying the messages here :D [17:06] ? [17:06] and vise versa [17:06] cool [17:06] Hi! I cant install kubuntu again ( Grub gives an Error15 every boot after install ( [17:06] Jimmey: you just connect the computers, and connect via their ips and the router will connect you via the cables and not wirelessly [17:07] do the organizers not mind you doing that? [17:07] donno [17:07] lol [17:07] rapid, I'm not using cables to connect to the router [17:07] whats the harm? [17:07] Ubu_INFO: turn that off, or get kicked [17:07] lots of flooding [17:07] its not relaying everything though [17:07] guys when I enable networking and try to open any application for example the file browser, it demands like 11 second to load [17:07] the same happens with other programs [17:07] just important stuff or? [17:08] if i disable networking it works perfect [17:08] <__mikem> What in the world is Ubu_INFO?

[18:17] maxagaz: that page will tell you how to install without a cdrom [18:17] I'm having a ton of trouble setting up dual monitors on my laptop w/ an nvidia graphics card [18:17] Dr_willis, and what kind of users would need 4 gb of ram? [18:18] maxagaz: no, its not :) [18:18] Dr_willis: okay thanx [18:18] genii: where can i confirm this info ? [18:18] Quick question: Has anyone reading this successfully gotten Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 to run under wine/cxoffice6 ? [18:18] cosmic_charlie, exactly. :) [18:18] do you know? [18:18] I know the right res / refresh rate but it messes everything up and I have to restart :( [18:18] amazen720: which gives me the impression that there is already some other cups service running on that network. I'm no real cups expert, and i would need some more background info on what is on the net and waht you're trying to do. So i suggest you put your error followed by 'ubuntu' to google, and chances are it comes up with a forum thread covering your issue [18:19] thigo: Yes, look it up on intel's site :) But anyhow, best to use 32bit ubuntu because you won't have headaches [18:19] Dr_willis, no i'm serious, would that be server class? cad workstation? i'm just curious :] [18:19] Hello [18:19] amazen720: are you sure cups is even running? [18:19] cosmic_charlie, no idea. You dont even see windows machines with more then 4 gb ram the4se days.. Since that would require the 64bit version of windows. [18:20] cosmic_charlie, i guess uber-video editing :P [18:20] fyrestrtr: he can connect to localhost:631 fine [18:20] Can anyone answer my question [18:20] I want to learn [18:20] Dr_willis: that's a fallacy, I have seen Windows machines with 16GB of RAM. [18:20] bentob0x: what is the question? [18:20] fyrestrtr: ok, sorry and thanks :) [18:20] ben: Whats the question? [18:20] ben: ask the question [18:20] stefg: yes there is 2 fedora machine running on the network, both use the same printer [18:20] whats the equivalent of the task manager in windows? [18:20] If I can delete my temporary internet files in ubuntu [18:20] fyrestrtr, ive never seen one.. and that was the excuse i heard at the store. True the guys at the store may be idiots. but [18:21] ben yes you can [18:21] how do i remove the partition shortcuts from the desktop [18:21] cake4567: System monitor [18:21] amazen720: so they're fighting about who is the printing chief.... [18:21] How can I do it [18:21] Dr_willis: you've never seen a machine with more than 4 GB of RAM? [18:21] fyrestrtr, then why does linux need to be 64bit to access more then 4gb of ram? i thouhg it was all about adressing space. [18:21] fyrestrtr, nope. Then again - i dont work for a pc company. :) [18:21] Dr_willis: Windows also needs to be 64 bit to access 4 GB of RAM. [18:21] genii: is 64 bits support does not cool ? [18:21] fyrestrtr, other then the ads for 'servers' in the back of linux magazines. [18:22] Hi all [18:22] Ikonia [18:22] stefg: thats whats happening? [18:22] thigo use 32 bit [18:22] thanks...awn is freezing up [18:22] how do I pass variables to a remote host over SSH? for instance I want to get the $HOME directory of the host I'm sshing to not the host I'm sshing from -- if I do "ssh user@host echo $HOME" I get my home directory, not the remote user's. [18:22] amazen720: that's my plausible guess [18:22] fyrestrtr, wasent that what i said? the main need for 64bit Linux and windows both is to access large amounts of ram. [18:22] stefg: these machines need to get along, lol [18:22] How can I delete temporary internet files in ubuntu [18:22] i just followed the instructions here to install AWN (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981) and it appears in the system preferences menu but when i click it nothing happens, any ideas? [18:22] ben...in firefox? [18:22] Dr_willis: that's not the main need; that's the most bankable one. [18:22] yes [18:22] Is there anyone experiencing memory problems in Gutsy 64b? [18:22] hello everybody [18:22] !who | ben [18:23] ben: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:23] Hi, my samba is screwed and I need to add a network printer by hand in the following format: smb://[workgroup/]server[:port]/printer... anybody know what port windows printers are shared on? thanks [18:23] bentob0x: tools -> Clear Private Data [18:23] thigo: the support is fine. but most apps are still compiled for 32bit. also some things which we cannot control only come in 32bit versions, proprietary programs,drivers etc [18:23] fyrestrtr, ive yet to see any benchmarks showing other gains.. but its like a chicken and egg thing. :) [18:23] s/bentob0x/ben [18:23] Ikonia [18:23] ben... ctrl shift del is the shortcut [18:23] rudolfmdlt: because [:port] is in [ ], it means its optional and you do not need to specify it. [18:23] amazen720: only run cups-server on the machine where the printer is connected. shut it down on all the *clients* . you know: There can be only *one* (printing server) [18:24] can anyone help me with twinview...I always end up in low graphics mode [18:24] Ikonia ,Is there any other internet activity records in ubuntu apart from Firefox [18:24] how do i do to remove the mounted partition shortcuts of the desktop? [18:24] when I create environment variable such as export DUMMY=something, why the variable DUMMY is only known in the terminal where I entered the previous command ? Why is it unknown if I open another terminal (echo $DUMMY remains void) [18:24] IR4: I'm running Gutsy 64, nut have no problems which I know of. What problems are you having? [18:24] I though if you had cups-server on several machines they would see and talk to each other and setup the printers automaticially? [18:24] fyrestrtr, odd, but thanks I'll give it a shot now. :) [18:24] any visio file (.vsd) reader available for linux? [18:24] but i always can to compile these other programs :) [18:24] stefg: okay [18:24] !xinerama | cake4567 [18:24] cake4567: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [18:24] thigo: Anyhow http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sspec=sl9sq has your cpu specs there. emt64 feature down there means 64bit [18:24] ben: Are you using any other browser other than Firefox? [18:24] fyrestrtr: actually, I would need an install from windows vista (cd drive is totally broken, and don't understand how to boot from usb hard drive) [18:24] Ikonia: No [18:25] oops, ignore the AWN question, i got it [18:25] ben: then no. [18:25] maxagaz: does your system support booting from usb? [18:25] I'm having hellish issues getting my java working on my Gutsy 64. Anyone else having the same? [18:25] fyrestrtr: yes [18:25] Anyone has memory problems in Gutsy? [18:25] Pici: That means, if I delete my firefox records, all my internet activity reports will be deleted [18:26] poule_magik: because opening a new terminal only sets those variables that are in ~/.bashrc [18:26] ben: yes. [18:26] thats cool. [18:26] how do i convert ext2 to ext4 [18:26] how do i convert ext2 to ext3 [18:26] genii: thanks! hehe [18:26] bentob0x: If you want to be super-sure all your temporary files are dead, kill everything in /tmp/ [18:26] thigo: There is no source code for something like for instance, Flash player from Adobe, or so on like this. But where source code exists you can of course compile for 64bit. But as i said and ikonia says, 32 bit install is best because everything will run without extreme headaches or acrobatics. [18:26] Pici: Thanks [18:26] tuxthepenguin: you don't convert --- you format and create a new partition. [18:26] s/bentob0x/ben [18:26] fyrestrtr: so how to fix my probleme ? no way ? [18:26] Esteth: bad advice. [18:27] heheh [18:27] i know [18:27] xinerama is looking really scary [18:27] Pici: Can you also help me with [18:27] fyrestrtr: Why so? [18:27] hmm.. You can convert ext2 to ext3 by adding a journel with the tune2fs command i recall. [18:27] Pici: media [18:27] poule_magik: echo 'export FOO=bar' >> ~/.bashrc [18:27] tuxthepenguin: http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html [18:27] but we only can lear with some headaches [18:27] ben: media? [18:27] :) [18:27] fyrestrtr: it is temporary variable, I don't want to put it permanently in my .bashrc [18:27] Pici: media players [18:27] learn* [18:27] ben: such as? [18:27] Esteth: because /tmp has more than just your internet history. [18:28] poule_magik: then write a script that sets it and launch the command that needs it. [18:28] Pici: I cannot play any VCD or DVD or any media file [18:28] !vd [18:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about vd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:28] er [18:28] fyrestarter: Indeed, so it will wipe all of your temporary files, as i said. [18:28] !dvd | ben [18:28] ben: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [18:28] tuxthepenguin, http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/ext2toext3.htm [18:28] Esteth: files that other programs need.

[18:29] babu, most all of them can play divx [18:29] *load [18:29] genii: so thanks a lot for you and ikonia [18:29] fyrestarter: Oh. I wasn't aware of any programs that stored data in /tmp/ [18:29] fyrestrtr: i have vlc === IdleOne_ is now known as IdleOne [18:29] fyrestrtr: I saw a video where the variable are known in every terminal without writing in .bashrc, just with export FOO=bar in a terminal [18:30] i will try 64 bits version... if it will keep hard to me i change back to 32 bits === rydzu_ is now known as rydzu123 [18:30] thigo just use the 32bit version ! [18:30] thigo you have no reason to use 64bit [18:30] thigo you will get NO benifit from it [18:30] salut tous le monde ! === cosmic_charlie is now known as steam_power [18:30] poule_magik, that would export it to all the 'child' processes of that current shell. not 'every terminal' :) just that one and its kids. [18:30] thigo: the 64 bit version will offer no performance increase, it will just make things more difficult [18:30] ben: apologies, did you want me [18:30] poule_magik: where did you see this video? [18:30] http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-fs3.html <- explanation on why and how to use a ramdisk for /tmp [18:31] fyrestrtr: specially when i watch movie online some requirement divx [18:31] is there a way to setup automatic login **without** using gdm or kde? (ie. automatic login to tty) [18:31] whats the best program to unrar a .rar file? [18:31] !rar | narothepharoh [18:31] narothepharoh: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free [18:31] is there a folder which holds unneeded files? I seem to be losing hard drive space at an insane rate. 30 gigs have vanished [18:31] globe: yes [18:31] will not offer no performance increase??? so why this version exists? [18:31] does anyone know if there's an open source patenting application? [18:31] narothepharoh: i like file-roller with the "codec" installed [18:31] fyrestrtr, THANK YOU! I've been screwing with samba for a week! thanks! [18:31] I cant rightclick [18:31] thigo it doesn't matter why - just use 32bit - it will offer you no performance increase [18:31] whats goin on? [18:31] stefg: sweet. how can I learn how to do it? [18:31] I want to patent something but not for $259 [18:31] Vacovsky: have you cleaned out your deb cache? [18:31] thigo, for high mem systems for one. and for research/hard core number crunching for another. [18:31] please could someone help me with http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=613878 ? [18:32] Dr_willis: no the terminal opened after the export are launched from the menu not from the previous terminal [18:32] Can someone help? My mail program 'Evolution' malfunction due to not having libsnn3 installed. However, I cannot install libsnn3 without removing firefox O_O;;; [18:32] fyrestrtr: I have not. How do I go about doing that? [18:32] esteth how do i get it and the codec? [18:32] poule_magik, it shouldent work that way at all. [18:32] fyrestrtr: specially when i watch movie online some requirement divx , www.divxlive.com, i cant watch from this webaddress [18:32] mrmonday thats a tedious method [18:32] malfunctions [18:32] globe: google is your friend :-) Keep in minf that ubuntu uses upstart, so any inittab related howto does not apply :-) [18:32] where is the alsa-base config file located by default? [18:32] mrmonday: you a usb key would be better, or a boot floppy that boots a usb key [18:32] fyrestrtr: do you want the URL? [18:32] so I am trying to compile gnome-sharp and I get Requested 'glade-sharp-2.0 >= 2.10.3' but version of Glade is 2.10.2 [18:33] ikonia, could you recommend something that can boot a USB key? [18:33] fyrestrtr: http://video.aircrack-ng.org/noclient/ [18:33] stefg: upstart....that is what I was looking for. everything on google talks about inittab and ming-something or other. thanks! [18:33] johnficca you need a higher version of glade [18:33] how do I install glade-sharp [18:33] Vacovsky: du --max-depth=1 -h /var/cache/apt/archives <-- type that in a terminal [18:33] ikonia, how would I get that to boot the CD then? [18:33] mrmonday: a motherboard that suppors ysb boot ? [18:33] usb mouse and laptop mouse wont rightclick and it worked before..nothing changed really [18:33] !upstart | globe [18:33] globe: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [18:33] ikonia, nope [18:33] ikonia: or can I just turn it off? [18:33] mrmonday: if you can't boot from cd then your screwed [18:33] johnficca: turn what off ? [18:33] where is the alsa-base config file located by default? [18:33] fyrestrtr: look at the setting up of the wifi card, variables are exported and then used in another terminal without any problem ! [18:33] looking for glade-sharp [18:34] I have a very strande error. If I do "ls" I can se my "plist" file, but when doing "rm plist" it says "rm: cannot remove `plist': No such file or directory" and when doing "rm -rf plist" nothing happens. If I try "cat plist" it says "cat: plist: No such file or directory". Is the file there or not? [18:34] just installed acroread from the medibuntu repo and it was really slow c. 20kb/s. Is that normal for this repo? [18:34] johnficca it NEEDS it to build [18:34] fyrestrtr: it lists two directories, totaling about a gig [18:34] ikonia: so where would I get glade-sharp from? [18:34] johnficca the ubuntu repos ? [18:34] stefg: thx [18:34] johnficca or build it by hand [18:34] narothepharoh: file-roller is the default archive manager, it comes with ubuntu. the "codec" is "sudo apt-get install rar" iirc [18:34] johnficca but buildign anything by hand will break yoru package managment software [18:34] anyone, www.divxlive.com, i cant watch from this webaddress [18:35] johnficca so don't build what ever it is your building [18:35] ikonia, what I was going to try to do is to use a floppy disk, then use that to boot from my USB cd drive - how would I do this? is it possible? [18:35] ikonia: I think I need to build it but where do I download it from? [18:35] johan-_ weeeeeird [18:35] fyrestrtr: have you seen it ? [18:35] mrmonday: you can't really do that [18:35] steam_power: i know :( [18:35] johnficca: I don't know, but I'd advise you not to do that, as it will break your package manager [18:35] ikonia, :( [18:35] johan-_ tried 'file plist'? [18:35] ikonia, is there any other way I could get xubuntu on it? [18:36] genii, it works [18:36] ikonia: I'm trying to install moonlight plugin for firefox [18:36] mrmonday put a cdrom in ? [18:36] narothepharoh: that should be "sudo apt-get install unrar" actually. [18:36] steam_power: "plist: ERROR: cannot open `plist' (No such file or directory) [18:36] " [18:36] ikonia: using this how to http://www.deepakg.com/blog/archives/39.htm [18:36] ikonia, it doesn't have a CD drive [18:36] ikonia, the CD drive I mention is a USB hard drive, which the bios can't boot from [18:36] mrmonday buy one ? [18:36] can anyone help me out with an qlogic qla2200 card using server 6.10, I need a floppy disk with the correct driver and can not find it [18:36] *cd drive [18:37] not hard drive [18:37] mrmonday: buy a cd drive [18:37] ikonia, I have one [18:37] l0pht as that a fiber card [18:37] mrmonday: then boot from it [18:37] fyrestrtr: are you still here ? [18:37] yes [18:37] fiber [18:37] !sbm | mrmonday [18:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about sbm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [18:37] ikonia, how? it's a usb cd drive and the motherboard can't boot it [18:37] poule_magik, that guy is doing somehing odd there with that export, it dosent work that way by default. [18:37] l0pht: ok, what is the problem with it [18:37] mrmonday: buy an IDE one and install it [18:37] poule_magik: I don't see where there is another terminal? [18:37] ikonia, it's a laptop - I can't do that [18:38] poule_magik: the video only shows one Konsole session. [18:38] ikonia: the disk will not recognize when I'm doing the install [18:38] Dr_willis/ did you see the video ? [18:38] mrmonday: then your screwed [18:38] mrmonday: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto might be interesting [18:38] fyrestrtr, at the end . he makes a 3rd Konsole and uses the exoported variable from the first one. [18:38] ikonia, I tried sbm, but it can't recognise the uSB CD drive :/ [18:38] l0pht: ahhh what type of disk is connected to it? san ? [18:38] stefg, I tried sbm, but it can't recognise the uSB CD drive :/ [18:38] mrmonday: I think what ikonia is trying to say is that your hardware doesnt seem to like ubuntu so you need to get ubuntu friendly hardware [18:38] ikonia: XioTech sans [18:38] fyrestrtr: he opens 3 terminal in the video ! [18:38] how do you list the currently installed packages on the system? [18:38] poule_magik, yes i did.. and thats not 'normal' [18:38] Esteth Thank you I appreciate it [18:38] apt-get variant? apt-list.. ? [18:38] !install > mrmonday [18:39] l0pht I think this is going to be a draw back, the ubuntu livecd won't zone in disks for you by default [18:39] steam_power: no ideas? [18:39] fyrestrtr: have you seen it til the end ? [18:39] l0pht: most people don't install to san disks so I don't think this is taken into account in the installed [18:39] l0pht: you /may/ have better luck with the server cd install [18:39] poule_magik, unless thers some Konsole settings or other things that are going on. Konsoles sharing 'exported' variables - could cause some very bad things to happen. [18:39] ikonia: I am using the server cd 6.10 [18:39] Dr_willis: are you sure ?? it's a live distribution so it is not customized before making this video ! [18:39] l0pht: try 7.10 - but I don't think it will matter [18:39] poule_magik, try it for yourself.. read up on bash. Thats not normal behiavor. [18:40] poule_magik, Its possible his 'make new konsole button' is doing somthing extra. [18:40] Dr_willis: such as what for instance ? [18:41] poule_magik, no idea. what ever its doing sounds like a good way to cause a lot of problems [18:41] anoyone know, how do you list the currently installed packages on the system? [18:41] quick question . . I just installed openvpn with the add/remove programs . .. WHERE IS IT ? [18:41] give an idea for install yahoo messenger [18:41] what if you exported CC in one konsole to use distcc, then wanted to compile somthing differently so exported it again in a 2nd.. WHAT one woudl the 3rd console get .. [18:41] ikonia: I looks like I just need the driver for the qla2200 for the drive to get setup [18:41] tongueroo dpkg -l [18:41] l0pht: yes, but you'll need to put that in the initrd [18:42] poule_magik, i would almost guess he edited the video. === turbocyprus is now known as SoteriouLoucas [18:42] Dr_willis: oh really ? [18:42] synaptic package manager will show you whats installed [18:42] mnicholas: most likely it is a collection of command line utils [18:42] hey [18:42] oh [18:42] poule_magik, Unless the Orieialy bash book is missong somthing. :) i rember them being very clear on how export worked. [18:42] can I PM someone an error message that keeps poping up on login? [18:42] Dr?willis : i want to install yeahoo messenger but i cannt [18:42] mnicholas: have you tried out vmware server? [18:43] cake4567 just ask in the channel [18:43] Dr_willis: ok thank you, bye [18:43] There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon. [18:43] vmware player only allows one vm to be run at a time, and you cant make vmx files with it. vmware server is available as a free download from the vmware site [18:43] poule_magik, it MAY be hes not using bash [18:43] Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly. [18:43] The last error message was: [18:43] Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. [18:43] GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in [18:43] mnicholas: look for a how to on the web... i heard that network manager can manage conections to vpns but i'm not sure [18:43] Dr_willis : i want to install yeahoo messenger but i cannt [18:43] cake4567 get the exact error and put it in a pastebin [18:44] vmware works pretty well, too, i have a 2.4 ghz 1 gig ram box and run ubuntu 7.04 as the host os with xp pro, bcbsd, and debian etch as guest vm's all at once with no problems [18:44] thats all that came up? [18:44] cake4567 no its nto "something about themes" didn't come up [18:44] DMA disabled on device DVDRW - IDE 16X [18:44] With most modern CD/DVD devices enabling DMA highly increases read/write performance. If you experience very low writing speeds this is probably the cause.how do i fix this? [18:44] oh, nm. you said openvpn. im dumb [18:44] hi all i just run from CD ubuntu 7.10 and its asking for pass and user what should i enter ? [18:44] babu, the 'official' yahoo messanger for linux? or just a client that can do Yahoo? Pidgin can do yahoo i hear. [18:44] how would I get the full message?

[18:46] The last error message was: [18:46] Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

[18:49] is xgl installed by default on gutsy? [18:49] With most modern CD/DVD devices enabling DMA highly increases read/write performance.

[18:50] cake4567, awn won't work on black desktops? [18:50] seems a weird bug [18:50] ikonia: can you show me a link on how to fix the initrd [18:50] narothepharoh: don't expect too much. use hdparm if ou wanna try though [18:50] Pici, thanks... sudden;y having an issue with my compiz :/ [18:51] no the desktop is black aswell...its some problem starting the visual effects http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44638/plain/ [18:51] can any one help plz [18:51] where do, for example, failed cron task messages go? More generally, where would I find in gutsy what I used to find in the local root mail spool in debian? [18:51] bruenig, I guess he meant there was some kind of an error and that's why his desktop is black [18:51] stefg:how do i use hdparm [18:51] yes kane [18:52] Ok, I have an external HDD mounted in /media/Sheik. The fs is vfat and for some reason i cant change the permissions to a folder. If I do chmod 755 /media/Sheik/Web it says everything is ok, but if I check the permissions, it still is 750. Any idea on whats going on in here? thank you very much! [18:52] narothepharoh: sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/ hello guys, I've got a problem with Virtualbox...... it's not recognized my DVD-rom.... it's only recognised my CD-drive.... what should I do? [18:52] that reminds me.. I always wanted to ask: how do I change background?? - the one that's shown right after login.. by default it's brownish... [18:53] jamal247e: did you tell virtualbox to use the dvd? [18:53] no! [18:53] how? [18:53] how do i find out what version of syslinux i have installed? it doesn't seem to have a version flag [18:53] what should i enter user and pass when first time run ubuntu from CD-room [18:53] dmi3on, I have not run the 7.10 cd, have you filled in any boxes for login and password [18:54] kane77: where? [18:54] any ideas guys? [18:54] yes [18:54] desertc, what where? [18:54] open virtualbox, do not start the OS you have there (which i assume is Windows)...then select Settings, and go to CD/DVD-ROM. There you will have: Host CD/DVD Drive and a drop down menu to choose which cd/dvd to use :) [18:54] filloy, for vfat stuff you set the permisisons with the mount options. You DONT just 'chmod' the mount points [18:55] can i install and play good old quake under ubuntu. Without the use of win emulator ? [18:55] desertc, when the splash screen is shown.. [18:55] filloy, the umask option is normally used to set the permissions as needed. [18:55] Dr_willis: so I have to mount the vfat volume and tell it to have 755 permisions? [18:55] !games > kondrix [18:55] kondrix: yes, it's in the repositories, all you have to do is copy the pkg files [18:55] kane77: What splash screen? [18:55] why doesnt ubuntu like me? [18:55] stefg thanks [18:55] desertc, when logging onto ubuntu... [18:55] Dr_willis: ohh, i see, it is umask=007!!!....i should change it to 002 then :) [18:55] well, I know that... But there is one CD-Drive and now DVD-drive! [18:55] filloy, yes. Theres examples of this all over the place. :) [18:55] h|barbobot thanks [18:55] filloy, A+++++_ :) ya got it! [18:55] can someone help me to fix my sound ? [18:55] kane77: When the services are coming online? [18:55] dmi3on, and now it will not take the logins you told it you wouild use [18:56] Does anyone know why my xorg config through nvidia keeps reverting back to a lower screen resolution after I reboot? [18:56] desertc, yes [18:56] sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/DVDRW -IDE16X [18:56] /dev/DVDRW: No such file or directory [18:56] how do I fix gnome? [18:56] kane77: The one that is up for two seconds? [18:56] hi all [18:56] filloy, some sites say use umask=0000 not sure how they differ. [18:56] desertc, yes, though it's a bit longer on my laptop :) [18:56] Dr_willis: haha !! there it is, thank you!! [18:56] diddy: what you mean > [18:56] ? [18:56] Is it possible to have a difrent background for each desktop? [18:57] Dr_willis: now apache is working properly :) thank you very much again! [18:57] Billies: in kde yes, in gnome no [18:57] desertc, not that it's super important thing, but I couldn't do it.. so I was curious... [18:57] kane77: Not sure why you would want to change that one, but you'd have to ask the GNOME developers. It's part of the startup. [18:57] how can it be that i can surf the Internet, but cannot update of install apps, because the ubuntu says I need an internet connection? [18:57] filloy, you got apache on a vfat partition? [18:57] filloy, :P [18:57] anyone? [18:57] What one is ubuntu come with? [18:57] narothepharoh: your device must be something like /dev/hdc ... it won't work anyway if there is already the scsi-emulation of libata in effect, so the device is /dev/scd0 or /dev/sr0 [18:57] Dr_willis: yes, why? haha, its an external hdd so i need to be readable in windows (yes i know :() and linux... [18:57] cake4567: How do you fix GNOME? Is that your question? [18:58] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44638/plain/ [18:58] from this error message [18:58] so what is the consensus on installing ubuntu over a previous linux installation without formatting first? [18:58] already restarted twice [18:58] h|arbobot can you be more specific about the quake. I run start->add/remove...search for "quake". Didnt find the quake, only quake 3 [18:58] igor47: stupid idea. [18:58] igor47: consensus is: the installer won't let you [18:58] igor47: *why* would you want to? [18:58] cake4567: Reinstall the OS. [18:59] Dr_willis: by the way, that export 'trick' in the video? Its a Konsole "feature". [18:59] Does ubuntu by default run KDE or gnome? I ment workspace backgrounds [18:59] MidnighToker: meh...maybe preserve some settings [18:59] filloy, :) Windows can read/write ext2/3 with an add on tool.. But it can be risky doing it that way [18:59] how can it be that i can surf the Internet, but cannot update of install apps, because the ubuntu says I need an internet connection? [18:59] jamal247e: did you get it to work? [18:59] but I just friggin installed the OS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [18:59] igor47: it should all be in /home, just dont wipe out the home directory [18:59] fyrestrtr, ok. If you say so, :) ive never noticed it befor. [18:59] it was working...then I had AWN and it was working....now its just not [18:59] Dr_willis: I installed console -- basically its the difference between a 'session' and a 'window'. [18:59] Dr_willis: yes, but i would have to install that in every computer I visit :p not so practical :( anyways, its working, and thank you very much! :D [18:59] dmi3on, as you fired up the CD at some point you entered a login name and a password to use, yes, now it will not accept that login etc, is there any difficulty with simply restarting the CD again. [18:59] s/console/konsole/ [18:59] can anyone help out with my nvidia issue? please. :) [18:59] MidnighToker: i dont have a separate /home partition. but yeah, ok, i'll just copy it to another machine. [19:00] sera [19:00] fyrestrtr, ahhh... a session is a clone of a existing shell i guess. [19:00] salve raggi volevo 1 info [19:00] !ask > excaliber27 [19:00] igor47: yeah, leave /home as it is, that should be fine, but wipe / [19:00] stefg: yessssss! thanks again! [19:00] Dr_willis: you got it ;) [19:00] can someone help me please with 7.10 on brand new computer? [19:00] !ask > Ditters [19:00] how can it be that i can surf the Internet, but cannot update of install apps, because the ubuntu says I need an internet connection? [19:01] poor oklokok is running Dapper, someone tell him how to upgrade to Gutsy [19:01] Does gutsy gibon run KDE or gnome? anyone know? or does it run something else? [19:01] *of = or [19:01] desert any other ideas?' [19:01] gnome [19:01] Ditters: Firewall. [19:01] fyrestrtr, i will mess with it at work. :) [19:01] billies gnome [19:01] Billies: ubuntu = gnome, kubuntu = kde [19:01] i want to install firestarter [19:01] cake4567: No other ideas. [19:01] work time. :( bye all [19:01] desertc well, when I reboot the box, I seem to be reverting back to a lower resolution in x windows. The driver module is fine, but the screen res changes. Any thoughts [19:01] but can't! [19:01] !upgrade > oklokok (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [19:01] excaliber27: How are you making the settings? [19:01] What's the diffrence between KDE and gnome? is it possible to switch without losing all of my files and their settings? [19:02] desertc through the gui [19:02] Billies, yes.. [19:02] Billies, in fact you can have both installed... [19:02] excaliber27: What GUI ? [19:02] desertc - does 7.10 comes with firewall installed automatically? [19:02] desertc I'm not a newbie. through screen and graphics, under admin [19:03] Ditters: No, do you have a firewall outside the computer? [19:03] kane77: Is there a way to get a background for workspace 1, and set a difrent one for workspace 2? [19:03] no [19:03] i don't [19:03] hi there... [19:03] desertc, isn't iptables considered to be a firewall? [19:03] excaliber27: Try setting it, restarting X, setting it again if necessary, then restarting X again. If it is still configured, then try rebooting [19:04] kane77: Is it? [19:04] msg desertc I've done that [19:04] Billies, well.. in kde you can.. not in gnome afaik [19:04] isn't that strange that i can surf the internet but can't install apps? [19:04] excaliber27: You'll have to try configuring xorg.conf by hand. [19:04] desertc, i'd say so... [19:05] kane77: If is it easy to just switch to KDE? because I don't think I would do it for something as simple as backgrounds [19:05] kane77: I'll agree with you. [19:05] why does the update-manager (or apt-get update/upgrade) request the gutsy-cd if it could use the internet instead? I'm asking, because, when answering "cancel" to the "please insert the cd XYZ" dialog the update just stops and doesn't even try to download the packages from the internet... You'll have to delete the cd-sources from the sources-list... [19:05] desertc I'll check that out. but any suggestions in the config file? [19:05] wouldn't it be easier to be asked wether to use the cd or not? [19:05] desertc I'm familiar with xf86setup but never used the xorg setup before [19:05] anyone here use Tilda? [19:05] excaliber27: Everyone's is different. You're going to have some work to do and research too. [19:06] Billies, all you have to do is install the kubuntu-desktop package... [19:06] Ubuntu 7.10 It's asking me for a username and password [19:06] i need an application that pings a number of hosts continuously to check for connectivity on a network, does anyone know any good ones? [19:06] i running from cd [19:06] desertc thanks. later [19:06] Tilllinux: Sure. But, Do you have a problem? === zapa|meeting is now known as zapa|away [19:07] !away > zapa|away (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) [19:07] please - can someone help me? I can't update or install applications because of an internet problem, but I can surf the web. how can it be? [19:07] Tilllinux: uncheck the CD in your software sources (in synaptic) then you won't get asked. If you were on a 56k dialup line, you probably want the CD, on broadband prolly not. [19:07] Ditters: You have ports blocked somewhere. [19:07] stefg: that's what I did :p [19:07] kane77: and all it does it add features right? won't take anything away? I use ubuntu for games as my windows harddrive is down with a bad case of virus infection, and it strugles on something as simple as a java game, or some simple 3d game, yet on windows, it played everything fine [19:08] Ditters: maybe your mirrors are temp down?? [19:08] How can I share an wifi internet connection on laptop via ethernet port? [19:08] desertc - how can i check it? [19:08] bakarat, what should it do, just ping? should it log it? [19:08] !firestarter | Eamo [19:08] Ditters: I don't know. [19:08] !firestarter | Eamo [19:08] Eamo: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [19:08] Ditters: Take a look at what erUSUL said too [19:08] didn't I say this?... however, there just should be an option button... "please insert the cd" ... well, If you don't possess one anymore, and you hit cancel, the update just won't stop... I'd just ask If the user wants to update from the internet-repos [19:09] kane77, a visual representation of the connection status should suffice [19:09] Billies, yes it just installs a whole lot of packages.. and then on start you'd have option (if you chose session on the login screen) to boot kde or gnome [19:09] erUSUL: i don't think so. the message ubuntu gives appears so fast, that it can't be it's checking the web [19:09] kane77: sounds fun, im off to play with it [19:09] hallo im running ubuntu gutsy and i do not have any problems with it its working perfectly fine i just thought i would let you know [19:09] is it possible to login as root? [19:10] ubotu: will look at firestarter settings [19:10] crowley1027: no [19:10] wtf [19:10] ubuntu gets behind on time [19:10] !ohmy ZiRo` [19:10] Sorry, I don't know anything about ohmy ziro` - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:10] desertc: one of my drives is owned by "root" and i can't write anything to it. its a SATA drive [19:10] !ohmy >ZiRo` [19:10] Anyone familiar with converting and burning an AVI to DVD [19:10] i synced the time at 8:20am [19:11] crowley1027: use sudo to change the owner [19:11] ola alguen pode me ajudar [19:11] ZiRo`: sudo ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com [19:11] desertc: how do I do that [19:11] now at 19:10 the time is reporting 18:53 [19:11] !pt | asilva [19:11] asilva: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português.

[19:21] osmosis: too bad -- you have to gain physical access to fix that. [19:21] og01: You have to change the ownership permissions after the move. [19:21] * IdleOne files a formal complaint about the disgusting amount of time it takes to log into nickserv. ahhh heck with it Im to lazy [19:21] soundray: my ipmi card is suddenly not showing up. [19:21] bulmer: Turn it on, it connects to a preauthenticated router. Turn it off, it stops [19:22] jimjam-> how do you then check the status of your ethernet port? [19:22] desertc: I thought the group could be inherited with s set [19:22] stefg: I already read all of it [19:22] osmosis: "ipmi"? [19:22] B [19:22] How do I make a read-only file system into a read-and-write? [19:23] desertc: I can get acl to do this? [19:23] bulmer: Generally, I plug in an ethernet cable.

I'm not sure if the ethernet was still up while wireless was on. [19:25] hello guys [19:25] bulmer: I can check it now, but I'll need to d/c for a few seconds [19:25] jimjam-> check first and then report back [19:25] The processing required to watch all new files appearing in a directory tree and change their settings would be significant.

[19:28] sound doesn't work [19:28] dmi3on: Your LiveCD says incorrect password? [19:29] yes [19:29] Giova_: It is probably muted.

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [19:29] it isn't mute [19:29] dmi3on: makes no sense [19:29] i checked them bulmer before [19:29] can we talk on pm?

[19:31] desertc: heh [19:31] yes [19:32] i think problem, NetworkManager just support 128bit passphrase [19:32] bulmer: I say a small prayer everytime my laptop boots up that the sounds worked out of the box. :) Moreso after looking through some of the forum posts... [19:32] so my AP adjusted WEP / 64bit 10 digit [19:32] FalandA-> i dont use wep stuff..so someone else may be able to assist [19:32] hey all.

[19:33] apo`_: and when i unmount /dev/sda1 the files that were originally on /home/siloko are still intact? [19:33] paradizelost-> 1st thing is can you ping the other host?

[19:34] coma: The default bittorrent client in GNOME works great. [19:34] coma: what message does it give? [19:34] bulmer: i can ssh to it [19:34] siloko: To access the files, just mount the partition your ~ is on in another folder and go to /that/folder/home/siloko [19:34] paradizelost-> if you can ssh into it, then it must be okay..eh? [19:34] bulmer: not according to vmware server consoel [19:35] and i need to get in to convert these machines over to a vmware ESX server [19:35] This ubuntu box is setup weird, when I try to sudo nano /etc/hosts, it tells me "sudo: unable to lookup joebox via gethostbyname() [19:35] paradizelost-> which os guest do you have on it running? [19:35] bulmer: 2 Server 2003's [19:35] I check /etc/hostname, but I forgot to change /etc/hosts, joebox should link to 127.0.0.1 [19:35] guess you should have bought a support contract [19:35] but I can't edit the file now [19:35] triden99: it says problematic frame C [libglibjni-0.4.so+0xb74b] [19:36] paradizelost-> if you can ssh in to the win20003 then you are in..dont worry what the console is telling you [19:36] desertc: i prefer azureus [19:36] coma: why?

Simple, they get out of your way, and they let you do the things you want to do without a huge technical headache. [19:40] coma: if they have a .deb, yes. [19:40] rpj8-> you can store that file anywhere in your file system, if you want it organized, have a dedicated directory to put all yor downloads in..and remember where you stashed it [19:40] desertc: x2. Can't ask for much more than that. :) [19:41] i don't see any option in AVN... checked zillion times [19:41] no help at all?

When i tried to remove all the xserver packages by accident, it said "You are about to do something potentially harmful, To continue type in the phrase ‘Yes, do as I say!’" [19:47] lunartear: like a somethingrc file? [19:48] I believe its a "state" of the package [19:48] there's ii and rc so far [19:48] Lunar_Lamp-> also try "apt-cache dump" [19:48] Esteth: Yeah, I've seen a couple similar messages from time to time.

[19:51] We have a buncha Dells at work, so I have it bookmarked :() [19:51] I have installed x11vnc and tightvnc, but when I connect via client the task bar does not appears [19:51] wdowning: awesome! [19:52] So is the Broadcom 4318 wireless install/setup as hair-pulling insane as most forum posts and pages make it out to be? [19:52] Ok -- it uses an Intel iw2200. To enable that driver, you'll need to go to your update manager, and enabled the restricted-drivers ... do you use gnome or kde ? [19:52] LoudNLowNoma: I dunno bout that. but so far in all my ubuntu installs its a B**ch to get wireless to work [19:53] triden99, i can't locate the .deb file [19:53] wdowning: gnome [19:53] bakarat: what package are you trying to install?

[19:53] nautilis has devices in the 'places' view, where does nautilus read the devices from? [19:54] greencookie: That part seems to go without saying, but for some reason it's not looking pretty for this particular card yet...lol. I halfway attempted once and between that the ATI drivers royally made something mad, so haven't attempted it again yet...

[19:54] LoudNLowNoma: Lol I have ATI drivers as well ;) [19:55] bakarat: the package name is 'nav'? [19:55] phooey. I used vmware converter, created a .vmx image of my winxp install, wiped the disk and installed 7.10 and vmware server 1.0.4, and now i can't add my virtual machine because 'the configuration file was created by a vmware product with more features than this one' [19:55] wdowning: I hope we can get mine to work as well.. both my desktop and lappy's wireless is down and rite now im using my lappy's eth0:) [19:55] davidstillson: Your USB pendrive needs to have a FAT32 partition as the first partition in order for Windows to recognize it -- it will recognize multiple partitions on a USB drive, but only if the first is FAT32 or NTFS, and it will only recognize that drive ..

[19:56] jamiejackson: the easiest way is to just look at your sources.list (i.e.: cat /etc/apt/sources.list ) [19:56] triden99, so yes, the package name is nav :p [19:56] wdowning: I'm trying to figure out how:) [19:56] like network not functioning , X config broken, startup of klogd hangs,... [19:56] jamiejackson: also cat /etc/issue [19:56] yalu: Perhaps becausethats not the recommended way to upgrade [19:56] bulmer: that's kernel version, not Ubuntu version [19:56] well, the host OS is ubuntu [19:56] LoudNLowNoma: if ure free can u help me in a bit? to install my Radeon X1300 card drivers?

What was the debian source URL you were thinking of adding? [19:57] triden99, i tracked down a deb package on the source url, can i simply download & install it? (i don't know how apt works, so not sure how this affects dependencies?) [19:57] yalu: don't use apt-get to do dist-upgrade, use update manager or aptitude or some other mgmt tool which can handle deps better than plain apt [19:57] I got old entries in Nautilus, the places menu and are unable to delete them... can anyone help? [19:57] wdowning: terminal is up and running what do I type? [19:57] greencookie: I can give it an honest shot :) when you looking at doing it? [19:57] i keep seeing mention of an "alternative CD" but have no idea how that relates to the CD they actually ship to people..? [19:57] triden99, http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org it's there [19:58] LoudNLowNoma: after getting this wireless issue solved. Might take a good 20 mins:) [19:58] bakarat: on sec.. [19:58] once in terminal, run sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules [19:58] Siert: The places menu grabs from the nautilus bookmarks, open a nautilus window and remove some of the bookmarks. [19:58] TTilus: I never broke deps... after all it are the packages which configure the system [19:58] and usb support is enabled, but when I try enable the usb device to the virtual machine, i get nothing there as an option [19:58] triden99, http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org/debian/pool/etch/n/nav/ i've trakced the package down to there (i think) :p [19:58] etc/issue and lsb_release -a work great, thx [19:58] Hi, how do i burn a cdimage iso to a dvd? Or perhaps i don't need to do anything special? [19:58] greencookie: lol. Sounds good. [19:58] Anyone got Linux SW RAID working from the ALT install cd, and then to have it boot up properly? [19:58] LoudNLowNoma: thanks [19:58] Repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [19:58] (sorry - didn't realize it would break up my message) [19:58] Specifically the ubuntu cdimage to a dvd... [19:59] greencookie: np [19:59] <_mug> hey [19:59] All my hdbN has vansihed, I got hda1,2,3 and a hdb, but not the partitions on hdb(those should be 1,2,3). [19:59] davidstillson: I've had similar issues trying to get qemu to recognize a USB drive. What I wound up having to do was set up a network interface and share my USB drive via samba, and connect to it from within the virtual machine :( [20:00] yalu: I did not mean breaking, but gracefully surviving the tricky twists of dist-upgrade [20:00] yalu: afaik Ubuntu is expected to be dist-upgraded with update manager [20:01] greencookie: If the linux-restricted-modules don't work for you, let me know -- there are some other things you can do to help as well, such as making sure your iwconfig program works (or is present), etc... [20:01] yalu: I actually did hoary to breezy to dapper to edgy to feisty, step-by-step as it is recommended, with the box I'm using now. To be honest I expected the upgrade stunt to fail but it worked fine. [20:01] yeah and i'm on xp... [20:02] hi [20:02] hallo [20:02] looks like that is what I am going to have to do.. share out the drive via samba [20:02] wdowning: when i try to enable restrictged driver it says bcm43xx-fwcutter is not enabled! help [20:02] !burniso | Sean23 [20:02] Sean23: To burn an ISO image of a CD in Linux, Mac OS or Windows, read the howto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [20:02] TTilus: I'll retry with the "do-release-upgrade"... see how that works out [20:02] greencookie -- that sounds like a kernel module ... hold on a sec .. [20:02] bakarat: http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org/debian/pool/sarge/n/nav/nav_2+3.2.2-1_all.deb [20:02] wdowning: thanks [20:03] <_mug> ive got a problem: im using ubuntu 7.04 (gnome) on a amd64 3000+ and a ati x800 gto and NOT the 3d-drivers (same problem there): when browsing websites containing flashelements (i think) x hangs up completely. even numlock on my keyboard isnt responding anymore, but background processes still work and i can move the mouse. i have to reboot. my browser is firebox (ubuntu out of the box + ubuntu-flash) any ideas? [20:03] LoudNLowNoma: so what ati card do u have? [20:03] Hello everyone. I have used VLC and MPlayer but neither of these tools have an option for watching a video in slow motion... Is there a player that have this feature? [20:03] bakarat: download that, and try to install it with dpkg -install package.deb [20:03] triden99, any reason you choose sarge over etch? === Mr is now known as MrBlack [20:03] Hello all. [20:03] bakarat: no, no reason. [20:03] Hi. I'm having problems loging in gnome (I'm using ubuntu 7.10). It's just too slow. Does anyone know anything about this issue? [20:03] triden99, ok :p thanks for your help, will see if this works :D [20:03] <_mug> ahm: not everytime i visit a flash-site, but often enougth [20:03] BTW: greencookie: are you using gutsy or fiesty ? [20:04] wdowning: gutsy [20:04] joel: mplayer can [20:04] joel: mplayer -fps 5 movie.avi [20:04] bakarat: you can also add that source URL to your sources.list file; but I try to keep the number of non-ubuntu pkgs on my systems to a minimum. [20:04] greencookie: lspci [20:04] sid, ahhhh, via comand line :D Thanks [20:04] greencookie: show me that output on www.rafb.net/paste [20:04] triden99, ah ok :) [20:04] So linux users, [20:04] i've somehow removed the titlebar from my windows, how do i get it back? [20:04] here's an easy one. [20:04] i have a problem. my dvd/cd writer(lg) doesn't write any media(with gnomebaker). error output(like first post) => http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-471181.html Any body help me? [20:04] okay, and how might i determine processor architecture from the command line? [20:05] bakarat: hopefully, ubuntu already had the deps nav needs. or provides them in the distro. [20:05] on second thought, let's let it calm down here first. [20:05] greencookie: Mine is a Radeon Mobility X600 [20:05] jamiejackson: uname -a [20:05] Pici: what would i see there that would tell me that it was 64 bit? [20:05] is there anybody out there that actually got voipstunt to work on linux? if so how? [20:05] Im trying to configure X-lite right now with their proxy but unsuccessfully.. [20:05] What would cause a CPU to suddenly shoot up to nearly 100% usage? [20:05] sid: http://rafb.net/p/M9i80W91.html [20:05] triden99, it seems to be having troubles with python dependency [20:06] greencookie: I was able to find an article that has the information that could help here: http://davidwatson.org/2007/05/broadcom-4306-on-feisty-fawn.html [20:06] LoudNLowNoma: ever configured for X1300 or think we'll be able to do that?:) I've tried for about 2 months now. [20:06] bakarat: what's it looking for? [20:06] jamiejackson, cat /proc/cpuinfo [20:06] wdowning: thnx ill read it. [20:06] im running ubuntu(fiesty) on my home server - one of the things i run on it is ddclient - when I try to use the init script to start ddclient, I get this message - 'To run ddclient as a daemon, please set run_daemon to 'true' in /etc/default/ddclient' - but when I open that file, it is run_daemon="true" already there [20:06] triden99, not sure, getting "error: dependency is not satisfiable : python" [20:06] Is there any way to install applications to an external drive, like the portableapps.com idea? [20:06] greencookie: What it does it get the firmware information from an existing install program (I think for Windows drivers) and allow the kernel to use it ... [20:07] Anyone got Linux SW RAID working from the ALT install cd, and then to have it boot up properly? [20:07] salut [20:07] greencookie: Not that particular card, but we can try a few things and see. Can't do anything but keep you with the standard driver where you are now...lol [20:07] hi girls and guys. How can I change the mounting point of /home ? [20:07] bakarat: do you have python installed on your system? [20:07] i have a problem. my dvd/cd writer(lg) doesn't write any media(with gnomebaker). error output(like first post) => http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-471181.html Any body help me? [20:07] jamiejackson: second to last item, or uname -m [20:07] triden99, but i think i'm gonna just writ emy own tool, i need something very simple really, but can't find it anywhere [20:07] triden99, ye, definatly, i have trac running etc [20:07] greencookie: Your laptop is also referred to as a Dell Inspiron 1300 -- so any help for that laptop will probably help you as well ... [20:07] what could possibly be wrong ? [20:08] oh ok wdowning. thanks. im apt-getting bcm43xx-fwcutter now [20:08] bakarat: odd, I guess the package names in the require are not matching up. [20:08] thx, Pici, but would you happen to know what it would report for 64 bit processors (e.g., mine shows i686, but what would it show for 64?) [20:08] wdowning: i cant find bcm43xx-fwcutter anywhere in repo.. think i should install more repos? if so how?:) [20:08] bakarat: you could also try to force it and ignore the deps. if the app won't run then just remove it. [20:08] jamiejackson: AMD64 or EMT64 iirc. [20:08] triden99, maybe you know a tool that does ping "en masse" ? (so continuously ping clients to check connectivity) [20:08] LoudNLowNoma: sounds good:) [20:09] Pici, got it, close enough, thx [20:09] triden99, by removing it, will it also remove the dependencies it installed that i don't need? [20:09] greencookie: If you have synaptic, I found that makes it easier ... [20:09] sid: how does my lspci look http://rafb.net/p/M9i80W91.html [20:09] bakarat, ping does that :) [20:09] bakarat: I believe smokeping does that. [20:09] greencookie: start up synaptic as root, and go to these menu items: [20:09] wdowning: I cant find it in synaptic:) [20:09] using the broadcast option [20:09] how do I start synaptic as root? terminal>gksu synaptic? [20:09] satch5150, for a large amount of hosts at the same time? (with a few seconds intervals?) [20:09] gcw: Settings / Repositories [20:09] Pici, looking it up :) [20:10] bakarat: it makes graphs too [20:10] Then check everything under "Ubuntu Software" :-) [20:10] bakarat: kinda, packages that were marked automatic will be available for uninstall in aptitude if nothing requires them anymore. [20:10] did anyone elses system get trashed today with the updates? [20:10] greencookie, can you help me? [20:10] <_trine> do the madwifi drivers need to be patch for atheros injection? [20:10] <_trine> in ubuntu [20:10] gcw: that is correct ... unless your synaptic is already configured to allow you to make changes .. [20:11] <_trine> do the madwifi drivers need to be patched for atheros injection in Ububtu? [20:11] Pici, ah it does indeed seem to do what i need :D thanks :P [20:11] triden99, i'll try this smoky thing first, as it seems to be in the ubuntu repositories hehe :P thanks for your help though :) [20:11] thiras: whassup. [20:11] bakarat: np [20:11] nevermind my prev question, figured it out - i do have one quick question though, when doing an upgrade via apt, would services that were upgraded typically be restarted after the upgrades are installed ? [20:11] please, someone how to keep timestamps when moving files between fat32 partitions? [20:12] wdowning: I checked everything under ubuntu software [20:12] i have a writing problem [20:12] my dvd/cd writer(lg) doesn't write any media(with gnomebaker). error output(like first post) => http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-471181.html [20:12] If i try to watch an movie, i got a weird purple screen (http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/7999/schermafdrukmplayerab7.png), After a reboot its working, But, When i try again in about 3 hours, I got a gain that weird purple screen. (I got all codecs etc) Someone knows how to fix this? [20:12] greencookie: after you change the repository list, you will need to click "Close", then "Reload" in the main screen in synaptic .. [20:12] after todays updates im getting an error about parsing line 1 of /usr/bin/dpkg [20:12] so im not able to use my system nor older kernels [20:13] greencookie: then go to "search", then "linux-restricted-modules" . [20:13] Pici, any idea how i boot the gui? its nowhere in the applications menu, and if i run it in terminal, it says its already running? [20:13] LeRoi, what did u install today? [20:13] greencookie: Also, make sure you DO NOT CLICK ON "Mark all updates" ... it sounds like that would break your ubuntu, from what I'm reading here ... [20:13] bakarat: no idea, I've never used it before. [20:13] ItchyHobo: i just issued aptitude update and upgrade [20:13] * satch5150 feels his questions are getting lost in amongst the chatter :) [20:13] bakarat, should I contact you if I make an app like that? [20:14] ItchyHobo: it errored and ive been searchin for answers since [20:14] LeRoi, any package names that u remember? [20:14] kane77, i need it tomorrow, so unless you do it really quick, it's not necessary :D [20:14] adept manager looks in *nothing* like the screenshots on http://kubuntu.org/%7Ejriddell/kubuntu-upgrade [20:14] kane77, thanks for the offer though :P [20:14] some gnome specific [20:14] satch5150: Yes, services that were upgraded are often restarted in the post-upgrade steps [20:14] satch5150: the package scripts usually restarts the service [20:14] I don't have tabs in the repositories dialog [20:14] ItchyHobo: gnome specific... i can get gdm to work now but it just sits at the login [20:14] compiz fusion or beryl for my 7.10 install w/ radeon 9600? suggestions, opinions? :) [20:15] wdowning: I think I installed everything.

Just ask your question :) [20:15] !ask [20:15] <_trine> do the madwifi drivers need to be patched for atheros injection in Ububtu? [20:16] LeRoi: what release are you using? [20:16] misterecs: Just ask the question here. [20:16] ItchyHobo: 7.10 [20:16] i got wolfenstein and i gotta tell it to use oss driver everytime i wanna start it, because settings arent preserved after reboot. how can i make setting permanent ? [20:16] Pici, thanks [20:16] ItchyHobo: would deleting /usr/bin/dpkg be a huge mistake? or would a new one be made [20:16] strange error: the files is showing when using ls, but I cant rm it. I cant cat it or use file on it. But afp i can view it [20:16] LeRoi, 7.10 here 2 [20:17] I bought a DELL | UBUNTU machine, and [long story omitted], i formatted & installed UBUNTU from the disk DELL gave me, now I have almost NO devices recognized. HELP. [20:17] i got wolfenstein and i gotta tell it to use oss driver everytime i wanna start it, because settings arent preserved after reboot. how can i make setting permanent ? [20:17] LeRoi, that's the package manager for Debian [20:17] Hi, [20:17] No LAN for a major one. [20:17] <_trine> sudo thuna [20:17] "no screen found" for xgl and glx (i change xorg.conf manually) - it works with vesa only... don't know what to do. [20:17] <_trine> opps [20:17] ItchyHobo, dont know what deleting it might do [20:17] Hey [20:17] LeRoi, especially on GNOME [20:17] misterecs-> you just finished installation? [20:18] I have got an problem. My rsolution has changed and i cant change it back through preferences screen resolution. Can i do it via terminal [20:18] blumer | yes, i did. [20:18] ItchyHobo: well when i try to run dpkg --configure -a i get an error about parsing line 1 of that [20:18] It is 640 so its reallt annoying [20:18] ItchyHobo: and that is as far as i can get [20:18] misterecs-> are you connected to a router? ethernet connection? [20:18] hello [20:19] LeRoi, im still a newbie i can make guesses at best [20:19] I have a weird problem [20:19] i am using Gutsy giddon but when i boot i can not get HAL initiliazed [20:19] only half my themes are showing up in the theme manager [20:19] ItchyHobo: guess i'll just try to fsck and see what happens [20:19] help__: you can edit the .etc/X11/xorg.conf to set your screen resolution too [20:20] BULMER-> Connected to a router & worked fine BEFORE the format but now, No LAN & nearly all devices in "Hardware Manager" say "UNKNOWN". [20:20] LeRoi, do u have a disk prob too? [20:20] and what should i cahange there? [20:20] ItchyHobo: no, but i cannot think of anything else to do but reinstall [20:20] ItchyHobo: maybe the parsing error is do to a disk error, i dunno [20:20] LeRoi: here's a suggestion, go grab the binary of dpkg and overwrite what you have in /usr/bin [20:20] misterecs-> if you do ifconfig -a what shows? [20:21] triden99: i'll give that a shot [20:21] <_trine> do the madwifi drivers need to be patched for atheros injection in Ububtu? come on guys its a yes or no answer [20:21] BULMER-> Hold one please, it's off, let me power up & i'll let you know. Okay? [20:21] triden99: know what verson 7.10 uses? [20:21] LeRoi, ext FSs are pretty robust; unless the disks are physically damaged [20:21] LeRoi, hope u made backups ;) [20:21] Can I dual boot Ubuntu and Vista without any problems? [20:21] kazol2: yes surely [20:21] ItchyHobo: /home is its own partition [20:21] help__: under Section "Screen" you should have the display modes listed. You should see the one with your current resolution and you can change that to a higher one if your current video hardware/driver will support it [20:21] kazol2: yes [20:21] Hi all [20:21] ItchyHobo: so just the packages are what i need to worry about [20:21] kazol2: Yeah [20:21] help__: Forget hand editing the file. Instead just do: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg <-- will only do the resolution settings part of the xserver reconfiguring [20:22] LeRoi: I'm running 7.10 and have version 1.14.5ubuntu16 of dpkg [20:22] kazol2: but make partition for linux (if not present) within windows [20:22] LeRoi, also make up a backup of the update package cache and restore them in synaptic so u dont have any unnecessary downloading to do [20:22] kazol2: I had that set-up for a while on my laptop (5 months) until I just got rid of vi$ta all together because I haven't booted it up for about 3 months :) [20:22] is anybody running BOINC here ? [20:22] triden99: ItchyHobo thanks [20:22] genii:Sorry, had some issues with the ATI drivers when I first tried installing it and got stuck in a terminal for a bit, so got familiar with editing that...lol [20:22] tantradnya, tomd123, LordC: So I can just install Vista onto a partition half the size of the HD, then when I install Ubuntu it will automatically detect Vista and make a /boot/grub.conf file automatically to support both OSs? [20:23] ya [20:23] Yes [20:23] This process ifplugd starts whenever my system starts, I did "update-rc.d -f ifplugd remove", and it's not listed anywhere in /etc/rc?.d anymore, but it still tarts [20:23] starts* [20:23] Where else in the system can things be started from? [20:23] kazol2: yes thats correct [20:23] where can I request for a particular pacakage? [20:23] LoudNLowNoma: Thats OK :) Just for new users it's a bit daunting etc, the other is easier to understand and use etc [20:23] is it normal that i cant startup with neither xlg nor glx?

[20:24] danke [20:24] LeRoi: you'll need to use 'dpkg-deb --extract package.deb dir-to-extract-to' to get the dpkg binary out. [20:24] sid: you could install to a separate drive and choose between the two HD's as the primary boot drive in BIOS. [20:24] do we have an OCR program in Linux? [20:24] LeRoi: hopefully that exectuable isn't corrupt. :) [20:24] kazol2: but do install Vista first and then ubuntu or else Vista will overwrite MBR and only VISTA will boot [20:24] wdowning!

Booted the macbook on the livecd, installed ubuntu on the external usb-drive.... next time I hold down option when booting the mac no external drive is available booting from... only the internal drive and cdrom. Any tips? [20:31] triden99: so i DLed that file, used archive manager and got dpkg from the /usr/bin folder and mounted my / from the HDD [20:31] triden99: gonna copy that file and reboot... if ya dont hear from me then all is well :D [20:31] :D [20:31] LeRoi: did you use dpkg-deb? [20:31] ir4d0m: did you manually partition the external drive with the ubuntu installer or did you "use entire disk"? [20:32] triden99: no i just used archive manager and looked through the .deb and found what file ive been having problems with [20:32] lol why does my floppy drive turn on while I open programs [20:33] and files [20:33] lol [20:33] LeRoi: you used the easier way.. :) copying the file over should fix it.

How do I prevent this? [20:35] DrCortex, your claim that floppy drive would be faster than a cd drive sounds ridiculous :) [20:35] blahblahx: do a server install and then apt-get what you need.

But not after install... this has happened before! [21:11] but the pipe doesn't seem to work [21:11] but if i run this on debian, it works fine [21:12] bye people ^^ [21:12] Hi! can anyone help me?

[22:16] or do you mean you use up another 5 gigs every year? [22:16] well ihave a "recovery" cd that came with my computer which sets everything back to when i first baught the pc [22:17] desertc: I use dd and do regular full backups ( and I do it in the background while working) [22:17] is it possible to install debian packages in ubuntu [22:17] yes [22:17] tuxthepenguin: not a good idea [22:17] chris_ yes, adding music and video and text and whatnot [22:17] Jack_Sparrow: its Netgear wg111v2 wireless adapter. [22:17] oooooh ok you use up 5 more gigs. [22:17] well I'd just buy an external 200 gb hdd [22:17] Jack_Sparrow: Yes, but then what do you do with the 150 GB image? [22:17] and back it up to there. [22:17] external hard drive. [22:17] chris_ That's what I did, actually. [22:17] I backup almost everything online:) [22:18] and what's wrong with it [22:18] desertc: I store it on a spare drive or partition [22:18] Why do you want a different method? [22:18] gedit's gone frozen on me, is there a way to recover the data? (I haven't killed the process yet) [22:18] desertc: You can also split out your /home [22:18] chris_: We're talking about what average people do for backing up their data. [22:18] !wireless [22:18] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [22:18] oh xD [22:18] I burn my important stuff off :P [22:18] Jack_Sparrow: I'm just talking about my /home. I don't back up anything else === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd [22:19] Now and again, before anything major I do on my pc, I burn off the stuff I'm gonna want in case it crashes [22:19] :/ but if I had an external hdd I'd use that. [22:19] 150 gig /home... Ouch.. You must have data in there that are not installed programs that would fit on another partition [22:19] I should buy one soon... [22:19] can someone point me out to a document page which will help me revert my ubuntu to factory defautls> [22:19] greencookie: hey iv been having problems with wg111v2, any luck wit yours?

[22:20] hi [22:20] does anyone have this problem: ive got the 7.10 livecd and when using it the desktop covers 75% of my screen, with the rest being blank. is this only a livecd issue? [22:20] rinaldi_: I've been at it all night yesterday and all day today. Believe me, no breaks, not even lunch. Im about to lose it:) [22:20] I have 2 PCIe x16 video cards, but when I boot linux, it only shows one in lspci [22:21] anyone have any ideas?

[22:21] I try to open an mp3 and it says nothing to play it with [22:21] Jack_Sparrow: Yeap, music and movies take up a lot of space. But hard drives are 500 GB these days, so the average joe can have that much data easily.

[22:21] when I boot windows, both cards work fine [22:21] rinaldi_: Whatever you do DONT install ndiswrapper, unless ure an expert at that kind of stuff. [22:21] !mysql [22:21] greencookie: what was your problem? [22:21] LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [22:22] rinaldi_: my wg111v2 was working fine in ubuntu. [22:22] how do i get the source code used to build a package? [22:22] desertc: I have double that.. but my /home only holds installed progs.. not my music and movies [22:22] qazwsx: apt-get source package [22:22] rinaldi_: the only problem that it had was periodically the network would freeze and in order to get reconnected I would have to restart my computer. [22:22] anyone need help [22:22] i mean it would freeze every 30 minutes. [22:22] ? [22:22] rinaldi_: so yesterday I installed ndiswrapper [22:23] greencookie: are you running 7.10?

[22:23] HASSE telekom [22:23] rinaldi_: but ndiswrapper just made problems worse. now i cant even scan my networks [22:23] sry wrong window [22:23] Why doesn't Ubuntu have a "boot-only" CD version like FreeBSD does? Seems stupid like hell to waste bandwidth to download a 600 MB ISO and burn it when you could just get a few-MB installer which fetches all necessary (and UPDATED) files via FTP. In fact, I wonder why Microsoft doesn't do this as well. [22:23] greencookie: i had the same problem with my desktop until i upgraded to 7.10 [22:23] DrakeJustice_: please help me get wireless on my desktop.

Maybe your monitor is the issue. What kind is it -- CRT? TFT? [22:49] 7.10...gutsy [22:49] slakkr: is there no cd/dvd creater in 6.04? [22:49] It's a laptop soundray and It's not a monitor issue, I can runt he livecd, and I can use windows if I have it installed [22:49] ndiswrapper says ndiswrapper utils not found whats that mean? [22:50] im a newbie wheres a good place to start ot lern the basics of linux [22:50] hey guys, do "dev" package general needed for applications to run? [22:50] linger, I looked thru packages, idk the package name [22:50] hello [22:50] Godscape 7.10 Gutsy [22:50] ami doin it rite? on iPod touch [22:50] KI4IKL: I don't mean a hardware problem. I mean an incompatible setting in your X configuration. [22:51] Kiloblaster, that's odd. How long does it take to boot up? Live CD or Hard Drive? [22:51] whats a package name for something like Fireburner or something [22:51] alrighty then [22:52] KI4IKL: I suggest you go through the X configuration: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'. For everything that isn't related to your monitor, accept the defaults. Take care when you get to the monitor section to specify its capabilities precisely. [22:52] anyone know if gtkpod supports iphone? [22:52] KI4IKL: to enable you to do that, switch to a text console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and log in there. [22:52] Godscape yeah it's odd... i installed it on my hard drive... it takes about 3 or more minutes to show me the login screen... it's all black...then it cames up and works well...i have just installed compiz but i wanted some help about the slowing problem before i restart one more time ;) [22:52] i think...i'll just...go...over here and...light myself on fire *LOL* ... [22:53] KI4IKL: if that's not possible, select "Recovery mode" from the boot grub menu. [22:53] Kiloblaster, was it fine before Compiz? [22:53] godscape no [22:54] hello...anyone try setting xscreensaver as gdm background? [22:54] slakkr: e.g. k3b [22:54] Godscape got any clue? [22:54] KI4IKL: am I making sense?

Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel) [22:59] cox: oh.. well the generic answer of AllowUsers scponly in sshd_config and then maybe using pam.. but as far as details on howto do that go no sry :) [22:59] any ideas? [22:59] hi [22:59] I instaleld Restricted driver for my geforce graphics card then oi went to resatrt now i cannot boot into linux the screen turns off [23:00] Does it say anything about "out of range"? [23:00] domor21, try restarting X (ctrl+alt+backspace) [23:00] soundray : do you know how it would need to be configured? [23:00] what will that do [23:00] soundray : any hints of good websites?

[23:01] Reng, no [23:01] Somone told me i had to change somehting in the xorg.confg file buy i don;t now how to change it [23:01] domor21, it restarts the graphical interface - I had a problem similar to that and it worked enough to let me get in and fix things [23:01] ok [23:01] Reng, dev package contain headers for other applications that use them during compilation [23:01] hey man alt ctrl x worked for me too! and it changed to 1024 by itself, thanks! [23:02] kyled: so reboot and hit those buttons [23:02] when install an application do you install the "dev" or you can just leave it out? [23:02] kyled185: so reboot and hit those buttons [23:02] richyrichardrich: if you install dhcp3-server, you can look at the sample config file it installs and read the docs in /usr/share/doc/dhcp3-server [23:02] any ideas on how i can get more than the 60 Hertz frequency though? [23:02] *files [23:02] do i need specific drivers? [23:02] Reng, it isn't needed unless you intend to compile another application that needs the header files contained in that -dev [23:02] soundray: ok, but definately nothing monumentally stupid about trying to do it? [23:03] * MeanderingCode is away: Present Elsewhere... [23:03] kyled185: you there [23:03] * MeanderingC0de is away: Present Elsewhere... [23:03] my eyes hurt.. [23:03] Reng, if you aren't compiling other apps, don't worry about it [23:03] MeanderingC0de, probably want to turn that off, the ops get mad [23:03] domor21, if it's already booted you don't have to reboot. The computer needs to be at the login screen. You won't see the login screen though since the monitor isn't working [23:03] kyled185: im in xp now [23:03] richyrichardrich: no. You can sensibly run a DHCP server on a machine even if that machine does not act as a router. [23:03] kyled185: so restart and do that [23:04] bruenig, away msg? thanks for the tip [23:04] domor21, ok yeah you'll have to reboot, then once it's reached the point where you think it should be all the way up to let you log in, then press ctrl+alt+backspace [23:04] 26 character hex wep code too long for [23:04] yea the screen active light just blinks [23:04] kyled185: ok ill be back [23:04] domor21, alright [23:04] I've a problem with Ubuntu 7.10 an my Acer TM 6592. Sometimes everythings boots fine, others after the initial progress bar ended loading, I get only a blinking cursor on a black screen forever... [23:05] hola [23:05] anybody else request 5 cd's and only get 1 x86 and 1 64? [23:05] hello [23:05] !list [23:05] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [23:05] 26 char hex code too long for eth1 settings - any solution [23:05] I'm installing on the terminal and I am asked to insert my UBuntu Gutsy CD. I dont have it now. any way to pass this by? [23:06] wers where are you getting the files from if not the cd? [23:06] wers: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list add a # to comment out the cd line in the file then save and exit then sudo apt-get update [23:06] the repositories [23:06] okay [23:06] !help [23:06] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [23:06] wers, you already installed gutsy? [23:07] yep [23:07] just installing libgtk2.0-dev [23:07] lingerG: Is that even possible?:) [23:07] wers, alright, run software-properties-gtk === john__ is now known as JohnRobert [23:08] is there any difference in upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10 or just doing a fresh 7.10 install [23:08] greencookie: Hey bud. Still around? [23:08] Hi all, im kinda new to ubuntu (and linux in general) I've managed to set up firestarter correctly (I think) should I be concerned by an attempted connection on port 51544? [23:08] I already removed the CD from the software sources :) [23:08] thanksie [23:08] werdan7, then uncheck the thing saying to get software from gutsy cd [23:09] wers, well that's odd. Did you try a apt-get update? [23:09] trying to use Firestarter to share wifi web access via ethernet - is there ip issue? [23:09] cube_: yes. A fresh install will normally overwrite all your existing data on the target partition. [23:09] LoudNLowNoma: hey welcome back [23:09] no kyled185, I mean, I just removed it :) [23:09] it's fine now :) [23:09] i installed the "nvidia" drivers from add/remove software and still no change. i cannot select other resolution than 60 Hz. any answers please? [23:09] LoudNLowNoma: Ive been wrecking my head trying to get my wireless card to work [23:09] soundray: so there is no difference in the end result except lost files? [23:09] wers oh ok [23:10] boa noite ppl :))) [23:10] bluerider can you get into restricted drivers in admin menu? [23:10] uhm, i could if i knew how [23:10] system-administrator-restricted drivers manager [23:11] aaaaaaaa [23:11] ok [23:11] cube_: there are some differences. For example, the upgrade process will attempt to preserve manual changes you made to configuration files. [23:11] LoudNLowNoma: I gotta go atm. sry. [23:11] greencookie: D'oh [23:11] greencookie: No worries. [23:11] hmmm i see a driver not enabled, should i enable it? "nvidia accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)" [23:12] bluerider, yes [23:12] i ran a command line after installing it as it said, but it seems it didn't work [23:12] BlueRider: If you'd like to use the graphics card, yes. :-) [23:12] What's a good Gnome equivalent for BasKet? [23:12] now restart or just ctrl alt back? [23:12] What is BasKet? [23:12] BlueRider: Yes. [23:12] jburd: basket.kde.org [23:12] Ok; I'm trying to use firestarter to enable a DHCP server, but I only have 1 NIC [23:12] ctrl-alt-back [23:12] I don't wan't to connect to the internet [23:12] Just to run the DHCP sever [23:13] hey guys, is there a way to read the Temperature from my CPU etc or a program? [23:13] Malachi: tomboy [23:13] Malachi: tomboy [23:13] arnedking, i think conkey might show temp [23:13] soundray: That's what everyone says...but I found them to be different program.s [23:13] ArmedKing: try acpi -V [23:13] Malachi: However, nothing stops you from using BasKet under GNOME. [23:13] jburd: Yeah, but having to run KDE stuff.... [23:13] oq é isso [23:13] para que serve?? [23:14] It doesn't matter at the moment. I have a paper to write. [23:14] Malachi: Why? Does it not get your work done? [23:14] instalei linux agora no meu micro e estou achando muito bom [23:14] mas onde é bom para abrender mecher melhor??? [23:14] soundray: K tnx gives me "Thermal 1: ok, 40.0 degrees C" ndube I'll try that one to [23:14] !pt | renato [23:14] renato: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [23:14] hello [23:15] jburd: BasKet does more than take notes. It has a better way of organizing them. [23:15] kyled185: it didnt work [23:15] Malachi: Good for you. Use it! [23:15] renato: English room [23:15] kyled185: ive got my brothers laptop now so [23:15] ArmedKing: that'll be your system temperature rather than your CPU. Have a look in your filesystem under /proc/acpi/thermal_zone [23:15] <_ebirtaid> use is portugese? [23:15] jburd: I guess I will, for now. Not that I don't like Tomboy. Different tools for different jobs. [23:15] Thanks, though, guys. [23:15] Does anyone know if there is a GNOME equivalent of Katapult, which is included in kUbuntu? [23:16] can somone help me i can't bot into linux my screen just turns off, this happened after i installed restricted driver [23:16] <_ebirtaid> boot into safe mode [23:16] why is my thermal_zone empty? [23:16] <_ebirtaid> and edit xorg.conf [23:16] domor you can use this code once you are in recovery mode [23:17] domor, boot into recovery mode (from grub) and edit you xorg.conf [23:17] _ebirtaid: how do i edit xorg.conf [23:17] mv xorg.conf xorg.conf_old [23:17] cube_: Linux ACPI does not support your machine [23:17] Uh, I hate home pages for projects that don't tell you what they are about. What the heck is Katapult? [23:17] How do I add a folder toe the "Places" area on the GNOME Panel menu? [23:17] jimmygoon: Just add a bookmark in Nautilus. [23:17] and then mv xorg.conf_backup xorg.conf [23:17] or however your xorg backup looks [23:17] jimmygoon: Or drag and drop a directory. [23:17] cube_: another option is to install mbmon [23:17] soundray: mmm can only find temp for internal [23:17] <_ebirtaid> you are assuming he has a backup cube? [23:17] if there isn't a backup there is a .failsafe [23:17] Er, I think I totally screwed over my Ubuntu install. I was installing 7.10 through a live CD, when my power went out. It was just about done, too, at around 99%... However, now it's totally broken - when I try to load it, it doesn't load the GUI, and when I try to login, I get permission errors. When I try the live CD again, it locks up. Is there any sort of solution... or am I totally screwed? [23:18] jburd :P thanks [23:18] cubbe: i will try that [23:18] thats why i said or however it looks...a lot of the times there is atleast 2 old xorg.conf [23:18] ArmedKing: maybe you have only that one sensor. Install mbmon and try with that. [23:18] !info mbmon [23:18] cube: so what do itype first [23:18] mbmon: Hardware monitoring without kernel dependencies (text client). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.05-5 (gutsy), package size 68 kB, installed size 208 kB (Only available for i386 hurd-i386 amd64 kfreebsd-i386 knetbsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64) [23:18] domor : mv xorg.conf xorg.conf_old [23:18] jburd: Sorry for that... In kUbuntu it allows you to press Alt+Space and brings up a menu that allows you to start typing the name of a program or file and it tries to match it. Once it has, pressing Enter will open the program or file in it's selected application [23:18] Nin10dude: Can you boot into another OS or into the alternate CD? [23:18] <_ebirtaid> fn'Nin10dude: how do you mean locks up on the live cd? [23:19] domor: first you have to cd /etc/X11 === swombat_ is now known as swombat [23:19] domor: then check your direcotry (dir) [23:19] LoudNLowNoma, there is a dialog for that called gmrun or something like that [23:19] and if you are in the right place: mv xorg.conf xorg.conf_old [23:19] cube its ls not dir [23:19] i use dir [23:19] LoudNLowNoma: Install Google Desktop Search. Ctrl+Ctrl, type, select, and enter. Done. [23:19] i didn't even know it worked in ubuntu [23:19] lol [23:19] jburd, I can boot into my Windows, and when I say lock up, I mean it begins to load, and when it finally does, it's a background of vertically striped rainbow colors, with an unmovable cursor. [23:19] <_ebirtaid> dir will tell you your working directory [23:20] <_ebirtaid> unnecessary though [23:20] bruenig: Thanks. Will see what I can find. I noticed I can get Katapult from Synaptic but it wants to install a bunch of KDE stuff too [23:20] hey folks, i gotta problem with my sound in gutsy [23:20] cube it said no such file or directory whe i typed "mv xorg.conf xorg.conf_old" [23:20] Nin10dude: Can you try using safe graphics mode? [23:20] and then xorg.conf_backup xorg.conf [23:20] LoudNLowNoma, I think it requires you to edit a configuration file, but it is pretty simple really [23:20] the xorg.conf_backup could look different [23:20] <_ebirtaid> domor ls xorg* [23:20] LoudNLowNoma, like to tell it which application to use for which file and such [23:20] filetype* [23:20] yeah im no expert im just saying what works for me [23:20] so cd [23:20] soundray: lol says cpu is 25 Degrees Celsius, Tho i got a new cooler insrtalled (A Coolmaster 3 way cooler) i dont beleve it will be 25 for a Quad core [23:21] cd /etc/X11 [23:21] jburd: When I do that, it just endlessly stays on the black screen, with the little blinking thing in the upper left corner, as if it's about to load, but it never does. [23:21] mv xorg.conf xorg.conf_old [23:21] mv xorg.conf_backup xorg.conf [23:21] Nin10dude: Press Alt-F1 during that and tell us what's going on. [23:21] said no such fil directory [23:21] but that last one xorg.conf_backup the file may be different for instance you could use xorg.conf.failsafe [23:21] i've found a ape from affrica [23:21] <_ebirtaid> jburd: ctrl alt f1? [23:21] jburd: All right, I'll try that now. I'll be back after testing that. Thanks. [23:22] anybody have any ideas for how to get my sound working once again? [23:22] Nope. Just Alt-F1. [23:22] it worked fine before gutsy [23:22] ArmedKing: where do you find the value of 25 degrees? [23:22] anybody can tell me if there is any 3D support for VIA Chipsets (video card)?? [23:22] I got the GUI installed for mbmod and it says 25 at CPU [23:22] Soundray [23:22] cube: [23:22] ArmedKing: is that the only temperature it reports? [23:23] soundray: ty im using mbmon [23:23] cube_: can you talk to me in the private convo [23:23] <_ebirtaid> oxy: did I miss you provide the relevant info to your problem other than sound doesnt work? [23:23] domor: i haven't registered so no [23:23] soundray, Temp.= 38.0, 25.0, 47.0; Rot.= 5869, 2777, 0 [23:23] I could use gtalk if you have gmail [23:23] cube_:ok wat do i do now [23:23] * shorty is away: Ich bin beschäftigt [23:23] ArmedKing: 47 will be your CPU temp [23:23] soundray: i mean ty for suggesting it its working [23:23] bruenig: Gotcha. Looking at it now in Synaptic - did find a gmrun. Will let you know what I find for future reference :) Thanks again. [23:23] cube_: says root@user-desktop~# [23:24] Question. I'm using Gutsy AMD64 and with any video I watch in todem everything has a deep blue Hue. Any way to fix this? [23:24] i used to run fiesty, and once i upgraded the sound quit, i have an onboard Nvidia one, and my AUdigy card as well [23:24] domor: cd /etc/X11 [23:24] soundray: yeah that sounds better tho haha Pretty good it was 73 According to my bios this morning [23:24] cube_: good. I like mbmon, it's much less complicated than lm-sensors (kernel-based) [23:24] cube_: okk im in there [23:24] domor: mv xorg.conf xorg.conf_old === libervisio is now known as libervisco [23:24] <_ebirtaid> oxy: alsamixer has the right sound levels? and which are you trying to use? [23:25] domor: when you list the directory what other files are there that have xorg.conf as a file name [23:25] xorg.conf.failsafe? [23:25] cube_: ok i typed comand [23:25] <_ebirtaid> ls xorg* ;p [23:25] yeah a lot of times i use xorg.conf~ to replace with corrupt [23:25] alsa mixer is turned up to loud, and im trying to use my audigy, although two nights ago, i SOMEHOW got my Nvidia one working until i rebooted [23:25] cube_: now its just cam back to root@user-desktop:/etx/X11# === Q_Continuum_ is now known as Q_Continuum [23:25] I am having massive problems with freenx [23:25] domor: use dir or ls [23:25] what is a good app to use to load songs to my ipod?

[23:26] cube_: now heps of stuff came up [23:26] domor: try it again [23:26] i have followed the ubuntu guide for freenx yet i cant get this client from widnows to connect.. anyone else using freenx on dapper? [23:26] cd /etc/X11 [23:26] mv xorg.conf xorg.conf_old [23:26] cube_: yea it listed the files [23:26] ricanelite: I use Rythembox [23:26] yes, VLC and Beep both are, all i get is system beeps [23:26] ricanelite: Rhythmbox. [23:26] mv xorg.conf~ xorg.conf [23:26] ricanelite: Amarok works as well. [23:26] <_ebirtaid> cube: there is not necessarily a backup you are making a large assumption [23:26] Question. I'm using Gutsy AMD64 and with any video I watch in todem everything has a deep blue Hue. Any way to fix this? [23:27] the key is naming a usable xorg.conf from a backup or failsafe [23:27] now can i use amarok on gnome? [23:27] <_ebirtaid> oxy: not sure then :( [23:27] i am not sure what your xorg.conf old files are but there should be a couple to try [23:27] DWonderly: Have you tried playback after turning off Desktop effects? [23:27] yes, I'm not running any Desktop Effects [23:27] its just gutsy, is there a way tyo go back to fiesty easily? [23:27] Is there a libdvdplay0 for amd64? [23:27] DWonderly: How about with it? [23:27] domor: it should be like xorg.conf~ or xorg.conf.failsafe or xorg.config_backup and mv that file to xorg.conf [23:27] cube_: after typing it says " mv: canont start 'xorg.conf': no cush file or directory" [23:27] apart from fresh install [23:28] crush # such [23:28] k31th: I don't know about freenx, but I'm thinking it could be a network issue. Are both machines on the same LAN? [23:28] well you probably already moved it [23:28] <_ebirtaid> afaik only way to downgarde is fresh install, you could maybe compile old alsa files though? [23:28] oxyrosis, nope [23:28] cube_: now what === Aresilek is now known as Aresilek|Videos [23:28] list your directory [23:28] jburd: Dont know... I cant run desktop effects. [23:28] <_ebirtaid> cube_: ls xorg* [23:28] cube_: is that dir [23:28] eixt [23:28] exit [23:28] <_ebirtaid> will give just xorg output [23:28] cube_: done that [23:28] DWonderly: Ok, have you tried another media player say mplayer, vlc, miro? [23:28] downgrade should be possible(grr)...okay, how do i recompile my alsa? [23:29] Anyone familiar with the server edition bug [23:29] You need to install the package [23:29] linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server [23:29] ok find a xorg.conf that has an extension like xorg.conf.failsafe [23:29] DWonderly: Do they also behave in the same manner? [23:29] and mv xorg.conf.failsafe xorg.conf [23:29] <_ebirtaid> oxy: sourceforge should have some packages or source for old alsa drivers [23:29] <_ebirtaid> you could also try whatever their website is (google it prolly) [23:29] jburd Yes, all Video has the Hue, I've tried the fix that is posted on the Ubuntu forums... Doesn't work. [23:29] hello [23:29] hello [23:29] so using synaptic wont cut it?

I have a ATI Mobility M6, and ubuntu Gutsy gibbon [23:30] !downgrade | oxyrosis [23:30] oxyrosis: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. [23:30] Blazeix: mine does. [23:31] domor: for example xorg.conf~ or xorg.conf.failsafe [23:31] <_ebirtaid> oxyrosis: check fiesty's package list and download that version [23:31] NightDragon: so when you press the "Desktop effects" button, it wont work? [23:31] im talking about alsa here [23:31] Correct. [23:31] <_ebirtaid> or get the version below whatever version you are running (*check synaptic) [23:31] NightDragon: if that is the case, you need to go to System>Administration> restricted drivers manager [23:31] :( [23:31] gracias [23:31] cube_: there are now xorg.conf~ but there are xorg.conf with heaps of nubers after [23:31] hope i dont have to come back [23:31] NightDragon: and then make sure your graphics drivers are up to date [23:31] kewl [23:31] 1 sec [23:31] NightDragon: it should be pretty automatic :) [23:32] i see a modem drifver [23:32] soundray, and anyone else.

[23:43] So there is no command that automatically detects ANOTHER video card besides the Intel GMA one?

[23:46] rbrevoort: you can use VLC, it's available from add/remove and it's very powerful [23:46] bruenig, locate requires "updatedb" all the time... [23:46] Thats bad [23:46] minus198, updatedb is done via cronjob [23:46] true and very tempted [23:46] vovk [23:46] minus198, unless you turned of cron... [23:46] domor: go to restricted drivers in system-administrator-restricted driver manager [23:47] off* [23:47] domor: click enable [23:47] bruenig, Didn't know about that...

According to /var/log/syslog, NetowrkManager disables it when it starts, regardless of whether the network preferences are set to "roaming" or not. http://pastebin.com/m65148fa0 [23:47] locate, updatedb, etc. are legacy tools. Use newer indexers and tracking tools. [23:47] cube_:yip but it says "not in use" [23:47] locate and updatedb are the same thing [23:48] domor: and click enable and you might have to restart X with control alt backspace [23:48] minus198: I imagine tracer has a command line search tool too [23:48] in fact both are just different ways to call slocate [23:48] or mlocate or something similar [23:48] cube_: i hit that [23:48] what does htat do [23:48] Doesn't change the fact that they are legacy and obsolete methods of searching. [23:48] domor: it enables your graphics card [23:48] jburd, how are they obselete [23:48] still not in use [23:48] enable [23:48] unable to install vlc? [23:49] bruenig: GDS gives much better and faster results than those tools. [23:49] cube_: the enable box got tick in it but "not in use" [23:49] timposey: there is a help entry "Printing Rows or Columns on Every Page". It's a bit involved, but apparently possible :) [23:49] rbrevoort: how so? what are you trying to do? [23:49] add/remove the program, [23:49] jburd, what is gds? [23:49] jburd, you aren't talking about google are you? [23:49] Google Desktop Search. [23:49] vlc vovk [23:49] soundray: yeah same lan dude [23:49] if so you are sadly mistaken [23:49] How so? [23:49] domor: close it and control alt backspace [23:49] if you have enabled checked [23:49] jburd, I totally disagree [23:49] jburd, google desktop is no different than locate [23:49] unable to play dvd on an ibm thinkpad using totem on ubuntu 7.10 [23:49] how do you think it works? a databse [23:49] cube_: if i try untick the box it says "reconfiguring x.org video drivers i not possiblr :/etc/X11/xorg.conf is invalid or does not exist" [23:49] rbrevoort: lol, but how are you trying to install it? it is under Applications>Add/Remove [23:50] yeaj [23:50] yeah [23:50] jburd, define "better" [23:50] bruenig, I cant see no "updatedb" in cron [23:50] cube_: this file-device you speak of, where do i find it, new to ubuntu [23:50] And how fast does it work? [23:50] minus198, might be slocate [23:50] Does it offer results that make sense? [23:50] cube_: read my lsat messege [23:50] jburd, yes it does [23:50] And can it search within content? [23:50] jburd, yes [23:50] stgmavrick: go to system-preferences-sound [23:50] GDS faster then locate or find, i hardly notice the difference :) [23:50] soundray: I'll take a look where did you find it? [23:50] jburd, grep [23:50] bruenig, Maybe If i add it myself, but still, if I edit a file, and try to find it right after, the database may not have been updated [23:50] domor: u need to rebuild your xorg if you don't have a valid one to replace it with [23:51] apt-get install -y slocate; updatedb; slocate "filename" [23:51] cube_: how do i go about that [23:51] colourAgga, I am sure it is faster than find, seeing as find searches your actual filesystem, not a database [23:51] Sleepingtime [23:51] Cya guys [23:51] timposey: searched the help index for "title row" [23:51] i don't know the exact code, How do you rebuild Xorg [23:51] i meant only the locate ;) [23:51] cube_: i've been there, right now stuff set to autodetect [23:51] man locate [23:51] anybody have a u3 flash drive [23:51] afternoon [23:51] cube_: im buggered [23:51] stgmavrick does TEST work?

[23:57] colourAgga: I can't find out how to create a graph in open office [23:57] if something is listening on it then its open, correct? [23:57] haha, wait i'll look it up ader10 [23:57] minus198, free is showing you the cache too - linux will cache files so it doesn't have to go to disk. add the cached line to the free line to get total free memory.
